This conflict is about far more than just land. The honor of Muslims was grossly violated when Israel was implanted next to one of the holiest sites of Islam, al Haram ash Sharif in Jerusalem - which, in turn, occupies the site of the former Jewish Temple.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFor thirteen hundred years Jews had been able to live mostly in peace in the Muslim world, because they subordinated themselves under the rule of Islam. They could even attain high positions serving Caliphs. With a State of their own this was no longer an option.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eUnder such changed conditions, how could there be an honorable peace? Only if Muslims recollect Surat 5:48 in the holy Koran, which commands a competition in virtue among the religions of the book.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eJews can contribute by showing awareness of how shocking their sudden takeover of part of the land must have felt for the community of all Muslims, and concurrently by pleading for understanding of the deadly threat that left Jewish survivors no choice when, in 1947, the UN declared the partition of Palestine. Even more important, the very name \"Israel\" itself sprang up in the solution of an archetypal biblical conflict between brothers, one pregnant with meaning for today.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eChristians too have their share. They must contribute by helping restore one of the most fundamental values of all three religions descending from Abraham, namely peace.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Gottfried Hutter\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1480872431\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781480872431\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Archway Publishing\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/23\/2019\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 322\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.04lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.72d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eForeword\u003c\/i\u003e 07\/29\/2019\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eBlueInk Review\u003c\/i\u003e 08\/07\/2019","brand":"Gottfried Hutter","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48175405203711,"sku":"9781480872431","price":19.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_9013fd67-ff33-4111-8b9a-ac9b08f01c09.jpg?v=1771333565","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/100-years-of-middle-east-gottfried-hutter-9781480872431","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
