the very reason for Hezbollah's and Hamas' existence is because of the very existence of Israel -- now a state, set in homelands these believer systems had all shared for thousands of years.


When did Palestinians try to drive Jews out of the Middle East? Go back to that point. I don't agree with Bill Maher's take on the state of things very often, but about the Palestinians I do.



When the Shia sect finish driving out non-Muslim believers after driving out the Jews, the Shia sect will go after the Sunni sect. How do I know? I learned that from Muslim members of the Center for Islamic Studies at the University of Chicago; around those years I read the Qur'an at least twice, and got 'the long game,' which is to covert the world to Islam. Only two religions aspire to worldwide spread -- Christianity and Islam. One has historically spread belief by the sword. I'll leave it to you to decide which one used the sword first.
