"And when Moses said unto his people: Lo! Allah commandeth you that ye sacrifice a cow, they said: Dost thou make game of us? He answered: Allah forbid that I should be among the foolish! (67) They said: Pray for us unto thy Lord that He make clear to us what (cow) she is. (Moses) answered: Lo! He saith, Verily she is a cow neither with calf nor immature; (she is) between the two conditions; so do that which ye are commanded. (68) They said: Pray for us unto thy Lord that He make clear to us of what colour she is. (Moses) answered: Lo! He saith: Verily she is a yellow cow. Bright is her colour, gladdening beholders. (69) They said: Pray for us unto thy Lord that He make clear to us what (cow) she is. Lo! cows are much alike to us; and Lo! if Allah wills, we may be led aright. (70) (Moses) answered: Lo! He saith: Verily she is a cow unyoked; she plougheth not the soil nor watereth the tilth; whole and without mark. They said: Now thou bringest the truth. So they sacrificed her, though almost they did not." (71)
Surah Al Baqarah [ The Cow ], 2 :67-71
....Does Peace has a chance when the rest of the world has to deal with this type of people, who had the tough pedigree of even going back and forth even with Allah's simple command and 'test' during Moses's time!!??
The Peace process gets more convoluted and complicated with time. In future it will be made to appear that it is the Palestinians[ and the Syrians and Lebanese ]who are encroaching on Israeli lands.
And there are just 15 millions of them around...giving all these trouble.
The Europeans had effectively off-loaded their collective guilt of The Holoucast on to the Arabs!
The American Industrial- Military complex is just too happy for the status quo to remain intact and insoluble....It is all back to economics, jobs and employment.
And cheap oil!
