We are humans after all

yes, it is great indeed to come to a meeting-ground and talk. we can put all files of aggression and misunderstanding on the shelf and label this shelf: primitivism and darkness. But aggression should be denied by both the Jews and the Moslems, the Arabs and thje hebrews. We have so many things in common but it is my impression that European Jews are the seeds of feud. They borrowed from their oppressors the idea of racial and ethnic superiority. islam teaches us that all of us are from Adam and Adam is mere dust.

I really wish to see the jews live in peace and prosperity but not at the expense of somebodyelse's life and rights. Our prince of poets had in pre-Islamic times trusted a Jewish poet: Al-Sumau'al. I still have on heart some of his poetry which are the proudest in arab history. So let your friends in Israel stop expansion at the expense of Palestinians... Stop all acts of aggression and start to see better. We welcome them among us but tell them not to kill children...
