Warnings against Israeli plan to raze Maghariba ramp and build military bridge

A galaxy of noted Palestinian figures highlighted in occupied Jerusalem the dangers threatening the Aqsa Mosque and the Israeli intention to build a huge military bridge in place of Al-Maghariba Gate ramp.

(Ahlul Bayt News Agency) - A galaxy of noted Palestinian figures highlighted in occupied Jerusalem the dangers threatening the Aqsa Mosque and the Israeli intention to build a huge military bridge in place of Al-Maghariba Gate ramp.

This came in a news conference held on Tuesday in occupied Jerusalem by the Aqsa foundation for endowment and heritage.

The conference was attended by preacher of the Aqsa Mosque Sheikh Ekrima Sabri, head of the Islamic Movement Sheikh Ra'ed Salah, head of the higher follow-up committee for Arabs Mohamed Zeidan, and director of Jerusalem affairs Hatem Abdulqader.

The speakers talked about the latest developments related to the Aqsa Mosque including the demolition of Al-Maghariba Gate, the Jewish break-ins at the Mosque, the rising Jewish calls for razing the Mosque, and the creation of Jewish premises for the alleged temple of Solomon around the Mosque.

Photos and video clips were also presented in the conference showing workmen embarking on demolishing Al-Maghariba Gate of the Aqsa Mosque.

According to the speakers, the Israeli occupation regime is planning to build a military bridge in place of Al-Maghariba Gate ramp and this bridge has many purposes including the launch of a future military attack on the Aqsa mosque with a large number of troops and bulldozers to demolish it.

Leader of the Islamic Revolution Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei

Wed Aug 15, 2012 8:28PM GMT

Leader of the Islamic Revolution Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei has called for an enthusiastic participation in demonstrations marking International Quds Day.

During a meeting with hundreds of veterans from the Iraq-Iran war on Wednesday, Ayatollah Khamenei said that a high turnout on Quds Day would give a crushing response to the enemies of Islam and Palestinians.

The Leader described the occupation of the Palestinian territories and the formation of the Israeli regime as the root of evil in the Middle East.

“Had this conspiracy not taken place, these wars, divisions, and interventions by colonialists and oppressors would not have occurred,” the Leader stated.

Ayatollah Khamenei urged Muslims to counter attempts made by Israel and its allies to push the issue of Palestine into oblivion, describing the Islamic Revolution in Iran as a major “historical obstacle” against the enemy plot to smother the Palestinian cause.

The Leader condemned enemy schemes to create sectarian divisions among Muslims as part of the effort to avert attention from the West’s silence and support for the decades-long occupation of the Palestinian territories.

Ayatollah Khamenei noted that liberating Palestine from the grip of Israel and its allies is a religious duty for all Muslims across the world.

In August 1979, late founder of the Islamic Republic Grand Ayatollah Rouhollah Khomeini declared the last Friday of the Muslim holy month of Ramadan as International Quds Day, and called on Muslims across the world to mark the annual occasion by holding street rallies.

Millions of people around the world pour into the streets on this day in a show of support for the people of Palestine, and to call for an end to Israeli occupation of the Palestinian territories.

Anger as (Australian) Activists Answer Iran [sic] call (to Rally on Jerusalem Day)

by: Ean Higgins

From:The Australian

August 16, 201212:00AM


ISRAELI diplomats and Jewish leaders have expressed outrage at plans by pro-Palestinian activists to rally on the day set aside by Iranian revolutionary leader Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomenei for supporters around the world to call for the destruction of the Jewish state[sic].

Activists will tomorrow mount an overtly anti-Israel protest, for the first time joining the international Al-Quds Day movement proclaimed by Khomenei in 1979.

Speakers at the Sydney rally are to include the imam of Sydney's Nabi Akram mosque, Sheik Zaid Alsalami, Catholic priest Father Dave Smith, Free Gaza Australia member Michael Coleman and pro-Palestinian activists Toni Borso, Jamal Daoud and Hussein al-Dirani -- the last of whom will address the crowd in Arabic.

Protesters will gather in Hyde Park, before marching to the US consulate.

Mr al-Dirani said the rally would be a peaceful expression of support for all oppressed people, including not just Palestinians but Burmese and Syrians.

The rally website contains some extremist videos showing Israeli soldiers appearing to menace Palestinian women and children, wounded and killed Palestinians, and pools of bloodied water.[sic]

One video likens Israeli practices towards Palestinians to Nazi Germany's persecution of Jews.

Another features Khomenei's keynote line when he founded Al-Quds Day: "We must all rise, destroy Israel and replace it with the heroic Palestinian nation."[sic]

A spokeswoman for the Israeli embassy in Canberra said: "On the website of these so-called peace activists, what you find are racist pictures, videos and speeches designed to incite.[sic]

"We know that people of conscience and moral will not be fooled, but will look deeper and see this group and their intentions for what they truly are".[sic]

"These people conveniently overlook places like Syria, because they cannot claim an Israeli connection."[sic]

NSW Jewish Board of Deputies chief executive Vic Alhadeff said: "All of us should be profoundly concerned that these extremists [sic] are using outrageous comparisons between Israel and Nazi Germany to incite racial hatred and a litany of spurious and inflammatory allegations to promote their cause.

"It's nasty, vicious and un-Australian and it goes well beyond the democratic right to protest."[sic]

In other Western countries, prominent activists have used Al-Quds Day for extreme verbal attacks on Israel.

A rally in August last year in London's Trafalgar Square was highlighted by a fierce address given by British Islamic convert Lauren Booth, the sister of Cherie Booth, wife of former British prime minister Tony Blair.

Ms Booth told the rally: "The crimes you think you know about Israel are but a drop in the ocean, a speck of sand on the beach of the universe."

She spoke of meeting a Palestinian woman who said she had been raped by Israeli soldiers, and a young boy who said he had been attacked by Israelis and his house bulldozed.

She urged Palestinians to tell Israelis: "You will not kill us any more without feeling the vengeance of those you oppress."

Quds Day will remove the Zionist black stain: Ahmadinejad

Fri Aug 17, 2012 8:44AM

Iran's President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad says the International Quds Day is the day of unity among all human beings to remove the Zionist “black stain” from the human society.

“Today, countering the entity of Zionism and the fabricated Zionist regime safeguards rights of all human beings, defends human dignity and paves the way to save humankind from arrogance, poverty and misery,” Ahmadinejad said in an address at the International Quds Day on Friday.

The world should know that most Western hegemonic and colonial powers maintain a joint commitment to protect the entity of the Israeli regime, he added.


The Iranian chief executive stated that the Israeli regime is a tool to control the Middle East region and the entire world, stressing the regime’s existence is an insult to the mankind.

He added that Western powers are justifying the Israeli regime’s homicide “because they are dependent on them (Zionists).”

Ahmadinejad said that the Zionists masterminded the Word War I and II to dominate nations and prepare the ground for the US power.

He added that all the world’s main centers of power, media and banks are controlled by the Zionists. However, they “use all of them for destruction of values and nations.”

He said that even the US presidential hopefuls have to bow to the Zionists if they want to have the chance to run.

Ahmadinejad emphasized that successive US governments have explicitly announced that they have been committed to salvage the Israeli regime and stated, “So, we should be vigilant and negligence against enemies will give the opportunity to them to dominate the region.”

He highlighted the significance of reinforcing unity and securing fundamental rights of nations in a rational atmosphere and through dialogue.

“The Iranian nation will not give up one iota of its own fundamental rights and those of other nations,” the president pointed out.

The head of the Supreme National Security Council further pointed to regional developments, dubbed by Western media as the Arab Spring, and stated that the world would also witness European and American spring in the near future.

He lashed out at the US President Barack Obama for failing to remain committed to his change slogan and recommended American authorities to avoid pursuing the Zionists and act independently to serve their own interests.

“Westerners are after [the establishment] of a new Middle East. We are also after a new Middle East which will definitely be formed … but in this new Middle East, there will be no trace of the US and Zionists,” Ahmadinejad pointed out.

Millions of enthusiastic Iranian people held massive rallies in Tehran and more than 550 cities and towns on the International Quds Day in support of the Palestinian resistance against the Israeli regime.

The participants carried placards and chanted slogans against the United States and Israel.

In 1979, Imam Khomeini, the late founder of the Islamic Republic, designated the last Friday of the lunar month of Ramadan as the International Quds Day, during which Muslims across the world hold rallies to show their solidarity with Palestinians.

[size=14pt]Sheikh Zakzaky Uncovers Plan to Attack Quds Day[/size]

By I. Usman

Reliable source reveals that, Nigerian security officials are planning to attack this year’s Quds Day peaceful procession scheduled for the last Friday of Ramadan, especially in Zaria and Kaduna.

This was disclosed by the Leader of Islamic Movement in Nigeria, Sheikh Ibraheem Zakzaky (H) last Friday, while enumerating the virtures and blessings of the last Friday of the month of Ramadan at the daily 1433 Tafsir session in Hussainiyyah Baqiyyatullah, Zaria.

To achieve their heinous act, he said, they have so far stolen 8 vehicles that would be used detonate bombs along the routes of the Quds Day procession. He also added that, only 7 vehicles are now at hand, for the eighth one was abandoned because they could not unlock the security system of the vehicle.

Sheikh Zakzaky (H) further said, they intend to blame the bomblast on Ahlul Sunnah. “There is nothing like Ahlul Sunnah. We know those behind it, the blame will be directed at them!”

Quds Day is global event observed annually in support of the Palestinian cause by countries around the world, Muslims and Non-Muslims alike, including Europe and United States of America.

Quds issue prompted Arab nations to stand up to dictatorship

People in Ahwaz, southwest Iran, attended International Quds Day rallies on August 17, 2012, to express solidarity with the Palestinian people.

Fri Aug 17, 2012 2:24PM


Hamas representative in Iran Khalid Qaddoumi says the issue of Quds is the main cause of uprisings in Arab countries against despotic regimes.

Addressing a rally held on Friday in the city of Ahwaz, southwest Iran, to mark the International Quds Day, Qaddoumi referred to the Arab world developments and the Islamic Awakening as a cause of pride for Muslims in the region.


“We should not remain indifferent towards these developments and wait for history to take its course…. We must take the opportunity … and play a role,” he said, warning that the enemy is in ambush to take control of the regional developments for its own benefit.

The Hamas representative cautioned that the “Zionist enemy” exploits the existing problems in the Islamic world to foment discord among Muslims.

Referring to designation of the last Friday of the holy month of Ramadan as the International Quds Day by the late Founder of the Islamic Republic Imam Khomeini, Qaddoumi stated that it was a judicious move that made the issue of Quds, top priority of the Muslim world.

He concluded by saying that if Muslims get united, the liberation of Quds will not be far away.

Imam Khomeini declared the last Friday of the Muslim fasting month of Ramadan as the International Quds Day, during which Muslims across the world hold rallies to show their solidarity with Palestinians.

Hezbollah will give crushing response if Tel Aviv attacks Lebanon: Nasrallah

Hezbollah leader Sheikh Hassan Nasrallah speaks through a video link on the occasion of al-Quds Day in the southern suburb of Beirut on Aug 17, 2012.

Fri Aug 17, 2012 5:43PM

Hezbollah Secretary-General Seyyed Hassan Nasrallah has warned that the anti-Israel resistance movement will turn the lives of hundreds of thousands of Israelis into a living hell if Tel Aviv attacks Lebanon again.

Addressing Hezbollah supporters on the occasion of the International Al-Quds Day, Nasrallah said on Friday that Hezbollah has both the capability and the courage to defend Lebanon and that the movement's missiles are ready to strike back certain targets inside Israel in self-defense if Tel Aviv launches an attack on Lebanon.

"If we are forced to use them to protect our people and our country, we will not hesitate to do so... and that will turn the lives of hundreds of thousands of Zionists into a living hell," Nasrallah said, adding that Hezbollah has fixed its targets.

He also said that a possible future war would be extremely costly for Israel and incomparable with its 2006 war against Lebanon.

Hezbollah leader said Israel's humiliating defeat in the 33-day war in 2006 is the main reason behind Israeli military officials' opposition to the government plans for launching war against another country, namely Iran.

He also criticized certain Arab states for fueling the unrest in Syria by supporting and funding anti-Damascus insurgents, saying that they are serving Israeli interests by doing that since Tel Aviv wants the anti-Israel resistance axis to lose Syria.

Nasrallah described some Arab leaders as "leaders of sedition" over their tough approach toward Syria unrest.

He urged Saudi Arabia to stop funding media outlets that promote division among Muslims.

The Hezbollah leader also condemned the Organization of Islamic Cooperation's (OIC) decision to suspend Syria’s membership, saying that the move means a green light to more killings and bloodshed in the country.

Nasrallah also urged Muslims around the world to adopt a unified stance on Israeli-Palestinian conflict and al-Quds issue.

Fri Aug 17, 2012 1:9PM GMT

Thousands of Palestinians have entered al-Quds (Jerusalem) to mark the international al-Quds Day despite restrictions put in place by Israeli regime.


Thousands of Israeli soldiers were deployed to the city on the last Friday of holy month of Ramadan as Muslims around the world took to the streets to express their solidarity with the Palestinian people and condemn the continuous Zionist occupation of Palestinian lands.

Tel Aviv has imposed an age restriction on men and only those over forty and under twelve are allowed to cross from the West Bank into the city to attend Friday Prayers at Islam’s third holiest shrine, Al-Aqsa mosque, and many Palestinians were forced to turn back.


Palestinians describe the ban as an act of collective punishment, stating that access to holy sites should be guaranteed, especially during religious ceremonies.

Muslims in Iran, Bahrain, Saudi Arabia, Afghanistan, Yemen, Pakistan and several other countries marked al-Quds Day on Friday with anti-Israeli demonstrations.

In 1979, Imam Khomeini, the late founder of the Islamic Republic, designated the last Friday of the lunar month of Ramadan as the International Quds Day, during which Muslims across the world hold rallies to show their solidarity with Palestinians.

People in Bahrain and Saudi Arabia’s Eastern Province have taken to the streets to mark the International Quds Day in support of the Palestinian cause to free their land from Israeli grip.


Despite the bans imposed by the Saudi regime and Bahraini government, people took part in the rallies on the last Friday of the Holy month of Ramadan.

Meanwhile, in Yemen's capital city of Sana’a, an International al Quds Day conference was held in which the speakers called on Muslims to end all ties with the US.

The speakers stated that supporting the US would be the same as supporting the Zionist occupation of Palestine.

Iranian cleric says Muslim unity will obliterate Israel

Ayatollah Seyyed Ahmad Khatami delivers Tehran’s Friday Prayers sermons on August 17, 2012.

Fri Aug 17, 2012 1:0PM GMT

Tehran’s interim Friday Prayers Leader Ayatollah Seyyed Ahmad Khatami says once unity is achieved in the Muslim world, the Zionist regime will disappear from the face of the world.

Ayatollah Khatami referred to the wave of the Islamic Awakening in the region, noting that the new development attests to the Muslim world’s might and potentials.

“In a period of one year of the Islamic Awakening, people entered the scene and brought down four dictators,” he underlined.


Tehran’s interim Friday Prayers Leader also stated that the Zionists only understand the language of force, adding that during more than 60 years since the occupation of Palestine, only people’s movements in the form of intifada have been fruitful, while negotiations have never been, and will never be effective in solving the issue of Palestine.

The senior cleric criticized certain Islamic states for serving Zionists in Israel by encouraging the Israeli regime in its invasions of Lebanon and Gaza during past years.

Further in his sermon, Ayatollah Khatami alluded to demonstrations held to mark the International Quds Day and praised the Iranian people’s massive turnout in the Friday rallies.

The late founder of the Islamic Republic, Imam Khomeini, declared the last Friday of the Muslim fasting month of Ramadan as the International Quds Day, during which Muslims across the world hold rallies to show their solidarity with Palestinians.

International Qods Day Commemorated in Different Parts of India (pictures attached below).

If the Christian brothers marching actually studied their bible, they would not be on the streets. The people perish for lack of knowledge...

Trouble dey sleep yanga come wake am.

I am certain we are in for another round of middle east "wahala" cos I don't see the Jews relinquishing their spiritual and historical capital city to anyone. They were once driven from it and the city taken from them. I doubt it will happen again.

I just hope and pray that this avoidable new offensive and rabble rousing will not be measured in more sorrow, tears and blood for the ordinary poor folks. Chei!

tiarabubu, yesterday i was watching a jewish man say that the history of the jews started from Abraham while the history of the Muslims started from Muhammad [sa]. But I couldnt respond to him because he had disabled the ability to respond. The below would have been my response:

If you wanna compare the ethic jews to the ethic muslims, I will say you forgot that Abraham was the father of Ishmael for 13 years before Isaac was born as a second son to Abraham. So since the ethnic arab muslims under Muhammad [sa] were from Ishmael, then the story of the arabs is 13 years older than the story of jews who were from Isaac. This means that Ishmael must have 13 years right on Jerusalem, indeed palestine and hebrew and canaan over Isaac.

If we are to talk about jews in term of religion, versus Islam, then we need to know that islam started with Adam and continues with every believer, including Abraham who was neither a jew nor a christian, but a believer, a muslim. So were Ishmael, Isaac, Jacob the father of the children of israel, Joseph and his brothers, even Moses and Aaron. Did you read the word "jew" to describe tribe or religion of yesterday man "Moses"?


Either way, in religion and in ethnicity, Muhammad [sa] was the last prophet of a religion that Adam belonged to and ethnicity that is 13 years earlier than any jew you can remotely mention. Jew: the first jews at the earliest were the children of Jacob. Can Jacob be a jew? Can his father Isaac be a jew? Can his grandfather Abraham be a jew, taking for himself the name of his grandson's son? Impossible.

But such a lie saying Jews have rights over Jerusalem while the muslim arabs and palestinians dont is the biggest cooked up lies that an ethic group had put forward and the whole world have been silenced to submission. WHY? Jesus factor or some crazy holocaust guilt. Why not go get the germans instead of bullying the palestinians?

Sweet necta.

The basis of your position is flawed abinitio.

There is nothing like "ethnic muslims" but there are ethnic Jews. Also, there are Jews who profess Judaism, islam and Christianity. There are atheist among too. So we cannot compare the Jewish claim with "ethnic muslim's" claim to Jerusalem. It's like Christians claiming Eygpt for "ethnic Christians" because it was once a major Christian region. So also Damascus, Syria; anatolia & Antioch in Turkey; Cyrene in Libya etc. It would sound silly really. That those towns were Christian before doesn't make them "belong" to Christians. They belong to the people who historically own them, period.

If you say the palestinians have a claim to Jerusalem, then your argument can have a basis for subsequent analysis and debate.

The Jews have a recorded secular historical facts and claim about their capital city, Jerusalem and it predates Islam. So to argue against it, you need to counter their claims with hard cold facts.

I think the palestinians themselves realise that and are moving in that direction.

@Tiarabubu: There are ethnic muslims. Makka and Madina are exclusively the homes of ethic muslims.
You cant enter these places unless you are a muslim.

if you are not and you are discovered, you and those who supported you to commit this crime are done.

Jerusalem if Abraham were to be alive today will have more right over it than any of these people: His first son, Ishmael. His second son, Isaac. The sons of Isaac, Esau and Jacob. The sons of Jacob. From the sons we have the people called the jews.

Definitely, the city of Jerusalem belongs to those who follow the foot steps of Abraham in belief. And we know that Abraham was not a Jew or Christian.

My argument is strong and Masjid Aqsa is a clear evidence of it. So is the Dome of the Rock. For the most part the palestinians are by and large Muslims just like the jews are by and large jews in religion.

Judaism does not predate Islam which started from Adam [as] Even Moses was not a jew by religion and i doubt if he was a jew by his national ethnicity. Check your bible and see when the word jew was used as a religion, then as ethnic identity. It was a thing not in the time of King David.

I don't think you are correct sir.

There are Arab muslims, Yoruba muslims, French muslims etc but no "ethnic" Muslims. The term "Muslim" refers to a religious identity, while "ethnic" refers to a cultural identity. Islam is not a culture - its a religion. Anybody can willingly identify with that religion but nobody can identify with a culture he or she is not.

Also, note that there was no term known as "islam" or "Muslim" Before the time of the prophet in 650AD. If there was you have to bring proof. So on that basis claiming that Jerusalem is Islamic because of Abraham is a tough sell. I don't think the UN will take that seriously. It has to be on the basis of variable fact.

Remember that many tribes in Nigeria claim to have migrated from Egypt to their abode in the present day. Are those people Egyptian? Can they lay claim to Cairo? Actually my own ethnic group believe this to be so of them. Can I just walk up the streets of Cairo and squabble for power with Field Marshal Tantawi based on where I believe the progenitor of my ethnic group comes from?

Also note that the Al Aqsa mosque was built on the Site of a sacred Jewish temple! This was after the Jews were dispossessed of their capital Jerusalem. So how can the mosque be a proof?

See, this middle east crisis is far more complicated and complex than just these few words. It cannot be resolved by these vague conjecture you are throwing up. Also these later day claims about Jerusalem are not helping matters as it will fan the embers of hate much further. These cousins (Jews and arabs) will continue to fight themselves till only God knows when.

this isn't an issue of Ishmael Vs Isaac or Muslim Vs christians/jews.

this is an issue of humanity against inhumanity and bestialism.

if you'd have watched the two videos i presented,you will make two points:

1.) the prophecy that God gave the land belonging to others to a particular group is not a prophecy.

2.) the palestinians are indigenous to palestine and are not "arabians".

the palestinians are "arabs" and not arabians.they have their roots in palestine.being "arab" is a cultural and linguistic term that came about through assimilation and arabization and islamization through the arabian conquest.

the palestinians have a greater case to palestine through both religion and historical presence.the palestinian people have a wide ethnic and racial background.they are descendants of the canaanite tribes that preceeded the isralites in palestine.the palestinians are also descendants of israelites (i.e. through Isaac) and they are also descendants of jews who themselves descended from israelites.palestinians are also descended from Ishmael through intermarriage with the arabians who came from arabia.these people who have different ethnic or racial backgrounds are indigenous to palestine mostly.the genetical make up of a palestinian jew (not european jew) and a palestinian "arab" are closely related.you can read more about the palestinian people and their genetical heritage:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Palestinian_people

when the comes to religion,the christian palestinians who make up about 25% of the population of palestinians are no less affected.bethlehem and nazareth and mostly christian palestinian arabic speaking towns in the occupied land.

to further stress my point on the palestinians being indigenous to palestine,the samaritans mentioned in the newt testament who are descended from israelites,were arabized and adopted Islam.today palestinian families still trace their samaritan descent.these families are "arab" or arabic speaking and muslim.arabic became the lingua franca in palestine through the arabian conquest.i am also trying to say you could actually find jews who can be termed palestinians.

so really this land of palestine cannot be claimed by a single religion,even if you believe God promised Abraham,or Isaac,or the israelites of the jews because the people presently who are descendants of these figures follow 3 religions.so while God chose these people,God did not assign that land to a single religion i.e.judaism.therefore there is no right for jews to claim Jerusalem or palestine for judaism while others who are equally jewish through descent cannot claim it for Islam or christianity.the three groups should live peacefully and the religions of these people who are related genetically should be respected.i was once listening to a program on the BBC.Hanan Ashrawi is a female christian palestinian lawmaker.she stated that her family has a history of 5000 years in palestine preceeding the isralites and the entire bible.so this issue is complex and zionism is only trying to justify its onesidedness by abusing religion.

all of you doubting why as a christian you should oppose zionism,should find out who Father Nasrallah Hanna is.he is an orthodox palestinian Bishop,an indigene of palestine who is very much active in opposing the israeli occupation which seeks to drive indigenes of palestine based on religious lines.that is amounting to ethnic cleansing and genocide.it is like hausas bring muslims around the world to settle in nigeria because nigeria is holy to them and driving other hausas and yorubas away who are not muslim.it does not work.i am sure Father Nasrallah Hanna knows his bible very well and "proo" cannot accuse him of lack of knowledge.

zionism have no right to claim the land for a religion.the land was given to a people.a people that is presented divided along three religions.until God sends His representative or Jesus (as) and Imam Mahdi (aj) return,God will decide which religion prevails in the holy land.but now,each group claims to be the right religion of God.so no human being should try to settle this matter.zionism is apartheid in nature.so christians should wake.the arab christians are very opposed to israel as muslims too.the jews too,you have among them those opposed to zionism.here is a website of jews actively opposed to zionism:

Tiarabubu, how far now?

Logic and sound reason of the mind. heart being primary body part to help us will let you know that jews as a whole, even when you call them children of Israel or even children of Isaac or Abraham has no exclusive right to what God gave Abraham.

The reason is that:

1]. They are not the only seed of Abraham. The Ismail children are the older seed

2]. Abraham was a true believer of 1 Universal God. Jews believe that their God is a tribal God.

3]. The coreligionist of Abraham has more right because the gift to Abraham was based on religious righteousness. The muslims are on the religious of Ibrahim [as].


4]. Abraham did not love Ishmael less, instead more attached to him than to Isaac the baby boy.

5]. Abraham loved and kept contact with Ishmael all his life. Isaac loved his older brother and kept his history alive in his own family. This is how Jacob and his children were able to know the full history of the family of Ishmael and his 12 sons.

6]. The life of Ishmael was not as the angel said about him; the wild"ass" prediction did not happen. We know that the angel was a fake when this was not the case on Ishmael who Yahweh Personally named from the children of Abraham and blessing Ishmael will not be giving him desert full of oil and no correct spirituality. Heck. Venezuela, Mexico, USA, Nigeria, Libya, Ghana, Russia, and others just as blessed with oil. No one wants desert for home. So what is the blessing about? Isaac that Yahweh did not bless gets all the blessing is what you are saying? When did Ishmael sell his birthright like Later brothers Esau and Jacob with deceitful mother and blind father?

Quds day, is the day of all muslims.
