I have read and heard that Militant Muslims are set on erasing Israel from existence. My questions are::?

1. What is the reason that the militant Muslims are so flagrant about their hatred of Israelis?

2. If Israel were to be eliminated as a country, would Jews be left alone by these same people bent on their country's destruction?

3. How do the majority of ordinary Muslims see Israel and Jews in general?

4. What is the view of the Old Testament by Muslims, both Militant and Generally?

    Judy, please read question 4 again. It asks what Muslims think of the OT, not the other way round. Answer? It is an important book (meaning to them), but as to how important, I hope a Muslim can answer.

    Regarding the first question, it is because they are militant. The question answers itself. Sorry but nothing else need be said unless you want a definition of 'militant' in this context. I do not wish to insult your intelligence by giving one.

    The second question is hard to follow. I suppose you mean: if the country were eliminated, would other Jews be left alone? I have a feeling that if the first part were ever to come to pass there would be such a war to follow that 'Jew' or 'Christian' or whatever would soon cease to be relevant. It is a terrifying concept and one I hope never comes to pass.

    The third part. Isreal is a state and not all its inhabitants are Jewish, but I feel the majority of Muslims just want all the fighting to stop. Sooner or later there will have to be a negotiated peace, and the sooner the better. Otherwise everyone suffers. I believe the majority of Muslims are like the majority of everyone else. they are honest, they are decent, they want peace for their children and for the world.

    That's my answer. Thank you.

    Peace,

    Lenky.

    the old testament doesn't discuss muslims, since they didn't exist until long after Christianity started, let alone the torah. Therest of it, who knows. the religion was started bu an ignornat man who really started acting mad once he got a little power.
