* Human cost of Zionism (why Palestinians are turning to wicked extremists): http://www.aqsa.org.uk/leafletsdetails.aspx?id=17 -- By the way, this is why "Zion" was never mentioned in the Qur'an. The past Zion was not encouraging in spreading God's religion to non-Gentiles - Christ (in Muslim perspective) was almost crucified while trying to open Judaism up to the world, and the present-day one has proven to be very dangerous to non-Jews and Arabs. You've seen it occasionally on CNN, and even Christians in Bethlehem are complaining.

* Christianity diminishing in the Holy Land due to Israel: http://www.aqsa.org.uk/leafletsdetails.aspx?id=34

* Prophet Muhammad's name in Jewish Songs of Solomon - http://www.jews-for-allah.org/Muhammad-and-Judaism/the-Jewish-Bible/Muhammad-in-Songs.htm

And check again. Al-Islam, or "the Submission" is a method of serving God loyally. This also includes Christians and Jews, and Muhammad, a descendent of Ishmael, was the "reformist", the person who reformed God's religion from sectarian Jews and gospel writers. In other words: He corrected the faith, and it nearly costed him his life when he came across people like his uncle, Abu Lahab (a pagan leader of Mecca during his lifetime).
