(2,707 posts)which are popular sentiments in the Muslim world today. Also, Israel/Palestinians IS an Islamic cause; if the dome of the rock weren't there, would they care? The Palestinians' first leader was a Mufti, and when the UN was debating, the head of the Egyptian delegation to the United Nations General Assembly, Muhammad Hussein Heykal Pasha, said, "the lives of 1,000,000 Jews in Moslem countries would be jeopardized by the establishment of a Jewish state." Not in Arab countries exclusively, but Moslem [sic]. Also, why is sentiment so far and detached from I/P in places like Southeastrn Asia so uniform? Like Bangladesh and Pakistan lack Israel relations?
And you can see on Memri.org that their countries have anti-Semitic conspiracy propaganda on their mainstream media/society.
Until anti-Semitism in the Muslim world calms, I am scared of a Labour Party like situation with the Syrian Muslim refugees. If they're really that incensed about "Palestine," they can get the f over it.
