Reader comment on item: Arafat's Last Threat to Israel?

Submitted by John Berg (United States), Nov 9, 2004 at 12:37

Arafat was the Ummah's agent for secretly using the Palestinians as a constant enemy of Israel. The Qur'an and Islam does not permit any holding of "Muslim land by infidels" and will continue to force the conflict. Pipes' three conditions will accomplish, or be the result of, Islamic reform.
