The people of Palestine are pure Arabs and original Semites. It is the Muslims who are the inheritors of Moses (peace be upon him) and the inheritors of the real Torah that has not been changed. Muslims believe in all of the Prophets, including Abraham, Moses, Jesus and Muhammad, peace and blessings of Allah be upon them all. If the followers of Moses have been promised a right to Palestine in the Torah, then the Muslims are the most worthy nation of this.

As another Lame Cherry exclusive in matter anti matter.
Due to the holocaust in Gaza, the apology of Ossama bin Laden has resurfaced among the children of the internet in his blanket indictment of America, with the founding that Islam is the rule that all is judged by.
The Lame Cherry is going to explain a number of things with facts. In the above, there is the confession that Islam embraces Moses, Abraham and Jesus. There is the statement that Islam possesses the only true Torah or law book.
In beginning there, Abraham was the father of Ishmael, whose mother was an Egyptian concubine, who was sent away, meaning Abraham who Islam honors, sent away the father of all Arabs, therefore Abraham sent away the father of Islam.
Moses the Prophet of the children of Israel, grandson of Abraham, was handed down the Law by God personally. This Law predates Islam. The reason this is vital to understand is, Muhammed was a trader from the East. He came into contact with Hebrew Law, but not the Books of the Prophets and other writings of the Old Testament. That is why Islam does not have a complete understanding of God, and has no message of the Gospel because Muhammed never read it.
This brings us to Jesus, the One Who was foretold by the Prophets, that Muhammed never read. This means everything in the next quote of Ossama bin Laden, as he lumps Jesus as a Prophet alone, and not the Priest and King He is, as much as Islamic ignorance of Jesus as the Messiah, the Son of God, Creator of all, Who could be the only Redeemer to God for the failings of all men convicted by the Law.
We will get to this in the 3rd quote from another source or reputation, in Ossama bin Laden, focuses on the people of Palestine as Semites. Semites like Americans are the children of Shem, son of Noah.
Meet you on the other side.

The focus of this all is the Palestinians, West Bank and Gaza. The Samaritans of Jesus time were the cross breeds of imported Middle Eastern peoples, fused with Israelites, but mostly using their Hebrew religion. The Jews looked down upon these people, but in the quote below, you can read that Muhammed took from the Samaritan writings.
From this, comes the reality that Muhammed took the writings he was exposed to, and created a religion for his own people, basing them as the central characters, with their own religious sites.
The origins of the Samaritans are rather obscure. They are Israelites of central Palestine, generally considered the descendants of those who were planted in Samaria by the Assyrian kings, in about 722 B.C.E. The faith of the Samaritans was Jewish monotheism, but they had shaken off the influence of Judaism by developing their own religious identity, rather in the way the Arabs were to do later on. The Samaritan canon included only the Pentateuch, which was considered the sole source and standard for faith and conduct.
The formula "There is no God but the One" is an ever-recurring refrain in Samaritan liturgies. A constant theme in their literature is the unity of God and His absolute holiness and righteousness. We can immediately notice the similarity of the Muslim proclamation of faith: "There is no God but Allah." And, of course, the unity of God is a fundamental principle in Islam. The Muslim formula "In the name of God" (bismillah) is found in Samaritan scripture as beshem. The opening chapter of the Koran is known as the Fatiha, opening or gate, often considered as a succinct confession of faith. A Samaritan prayer, which can also be considered a confession of faith, begins with the words: Amadti kamekha al fatah rahmeka, "I stand before Thee at the gate of Thy mercy." Fatah is the Fatiha, opening or gate.
The sacred book of the Samaritans was the Pentateuch, which embodied the supreme revelation of the divine will, and was accordingly highly venerated. Muhammad also seems to know the Pentateuch and Psalms only, and shows no knowledge of the prophetic or historical writings.
The Samaritans held Moses in high regard, Moses being the prophet through whom the Law was revealed. For the Samaritans, Mt. Gerizim was the rightful center for the worship of Yahweh; and it was further associated with Adam, Seth, and Noah, and Abraham’s sacrifice of Isaac. The expectation of a coming Messiah was also an article of faith; the name given to their Messiah was the Restorer. Here we can also notice the similarity of the Muslim notion of the Mahdi.
We can tabulate the close parallels between the doctrines of the Samaritans and the Muslims in this way:
MOSES EXODUS PENTATEUCH MT. SINAI/GERIZIM SHECHEM Muhammad Hijra Koran Mt. Hira Mecca Under the influence of the Samaritans, the Arabs proceeded to cast Muhammad in the role of Moses as the leader of an exodus (hijra), as the bearer of a new revelation (Koran) received on an appropriate (Arabian) sacred mountain, Mt. Hira. It remained for them to compose a sacred book. CC point to the tradition that the Koran had been many books but of which ‘Uthman (the third caliph after Muhammad) had left only one. We have the further testimony of a Christian monk who distinguishes between the Koran and the Surat al-baqara as sources of law. In other documents, we are told that Hajjaj (661-714), the governor of Iraq, had collected and destroyed all the writings of the early Muslims. Then, following Wansbrough, CC conclude that the Koran, "is strikingly lacking in overall structure, frequently obscure and inconsequential in both language and content, perfunctory in its linking of disparate materials and given to the repetition of whole passages in variant versions. On this basis it can be plausibly argued that the book [Koran] is the product of the belated and imperfect editing of materials from a plurality of traditions."
The Samaritans had rejected the sanctity of Jerusalem, and had replaced it by the older Israelite sanctuary of Shechem. When the early Muslims disengaged from Jerusalem, Shechem provided an appropriate model for the creation of a sanctuary of their own.
The parallelism is striking. Each presents the same binary structure of a sacred city closely associated with a nearby holy mountain, and in each case the fundamental rite is a pilgrimage from the city to the mountain. In each case the sanctuary is an Abrahamic foundation, the pillar on which Abraham sacrificed in Shechem finding its equivalent in the rukn [the Yamai corner of the Ka'ba] of the Meccan sanctuary. Finally, the urban sanctuary is in each case closely associated with the grave of the appropriate patriarch: Joseph (as opposed to Judah in the Samaritan case, Ishmael (as opposed to Isaac) in the Meccan.
CC go on to argue that the town we now know as Mecca in central Arabia (Hijaz) could not have been the theater of the momentous events so beloved of Muslim tradition. Apart from the lack of any early non-Muslim references to Mecca, we do have the startling fact that the direction in which the early Muslims prayed (the qibla) was northwest Arabia. The evidence comes from the alignment of certain early mosques, and the literary evidence of Christian sources. In other words, Mecca, as the Muslim sanctuary, was only chosen much later by the Muslims, in order to relocate their early history within Arabia, to complete their break with Judaism, and finally establish their separate religious identity.
As you can read, Ossama bin Laden is ignorant of facts in presenting the Koran as the foundation of all reality to judge the world by. The Koran was in fragments for years after Muhammed's death and was assembled in time to what it is.
Abraham understood that a Saviour would come from his lineage, and it was not Ishmael or Muhammed. It would be Jesus.
Moses understood he was a prototype of that coming Messiah, Who would fulfill the Law, not in temporary means of observation, but with His own death.
Jesus the Christ is a matter of Faith. Islam has no Faith due to not having the complete revelations from God, as that includes and refutes what Ossama bin Laden in ignorance limits God to in no partners.
The Father in Heaven has no partners. That is an abomination to even state that. The Father is so dynamic that His Thought brings Life, just as His Presence is a Holy Spirit Who Comforts and Guides. That is the problem with Islam in it always limits God in thinking of God as a limited man.
Has America been overthrown by evil? That is obvious. Will she be Judged? Yes she will, but that Judgment does not come from Islam as Islam will face God's Judgment for denying God in all He is.
It is too bad that the holocaust of Gaza is the revelation to more ignorant people disagreeing with the District of Criminals in thinking Islam speaks the complete truth. It will all just bring more destruction, instead of Life and Peace which the Father promises through His Son, Jesus the Christ.
