Thanks for answering my question a few weeks ago. Anyway since I did mention that I haven't ate passover in over 10 years I do speak to my parents but just don't spend the holidays with them and they go away to Florida or other places and it would be difficult for me to go away to Florida for the holidays. Anyway, I was wondering what you felt of Shaykh Prof. Abdul Hadi Palazzi an Itallian Muslim who believes that the Koran gives Ismael's decendents the desert of arabia and the Jews the land of Israel. (Of course Jews who lived in Arabia were murdered when Mohammed took power). I heard Palazzi on the Tovia Singer a few years ago although I am no longer crazy about Tovia I was wondering do you think Palazzi is sincere. Palazzi has also condemmed CAIR for what they do in the United States. Here are Palazi's comments on Koran night Journey Chapter 17 verses 100-104. (I will put the verses and the website after his comments.)
SHAYKH PROF. PALAZZI COMMENTS:
God wanted to give Avraham a double blessing, through Ishmael and through Isaac, and ordered that Ishmael's descendents should live in the desert of Arabia and Isaac's in Canaan.
The Qur'an recognizes the Land of Israel as the heritage of the Jews and it explains that, before the Last Judgment, Jews will return to dwell there. This prophecy has already been fulfilled.
These are the verses in the Koran. (I do have a Koran so looked them up and the translation is a little different although I could not understand what it was saying in my english translation of the Koran).
THE QUR'AN SAYS:
"To Moses We [Allah] gave nine clear signs. Ask the Israelites how he [Moses] first appeared amongst them. Pharoah said to him: 'Moses, I can see that you are bewitched.' 'You know full well,' he [Moses] replied, 'that none but the Lord of the heavens and the earth has revealed these visible signs. Pharoah, you are doomed.'"
"Pharoah sought to scare them [the Israelites] out of the land [of Israel]: but We [Allah] drowned him [Pharoah] together with all who were with him. Then We [Allah] said to the Israelites: 'Dwell in this land [the Land of Israel]. When the promise of the hereafter [End of Days] comes to be fulfilled, We [Allah] shall assemble you [the Israelites] all together [in the Land of Israel]."
"We [Allah] have revealed the Qur'an with the truth, and with the truth it has come down. We have sent you [Muhammed] forth only to proclaim good news and to give warning."
[Qur'an, "Night Journey," chapter 17:100-104]
