Arabs lost their land which they curse most. Since decades, Arab Israeli conflict is living and living with full energy. We never saw since our childhood that Arab Israeli tensions eased up a bit. Blaming each others as responsible is quite easy but the tone which I experience on most of the Islamophobists websites, I really feel annoying to see that people are trying to underestimate the might of nations surrounding the tiny tot of Israel.

I mentioned in my previous posts that Arabs cannot be called underdogs, they are like a caged lion. I believe every Jew is aware of the history and early days of Islamic conquest which hit major forces in the Arab region. Be it Khyber or Banu Kuraiza the history is quite shaky for Jews to remember. Arabs at that time fought wars without modern weaponry available at that time. It was their courage and above all the help of Allah which made them crush the enemies of monster size. Who knows the sudden wave would change the table around, who knows Israel would need to quit from this region, who knows that Arab would again be able to teach lesson to Israel who is turning to be a big head ache for the Arabs??? who knows...??? who knows???

I again repeat as I repeated in my previous posts that power is a perishable thing which would soon leave you in the middle. May be Israel's bull dog the lone super power would be loosing the teeth very soon. I know it is hard to digest, but Europe would be leading the world economic stage by adopting sharia compliant banking system which I see as silent conquest against Jewish financial model. This time the hit was punched right on the nose and we can see the head of many conspiring forces drowsing down. Hope to see more developments very soon!! In short, the underdogs which you declare would be turning into tigers or lions or hawks...who knows???
