I find it ironic that the fighting going on is being done by the Descendents of Abraham/ Ibrahim, from his loins poured forth the Isaac's and Ishmahel's descendents the Arabs and Jews. For God/Allah said that from Abraham/Ibrahim a great nation would descend from his loins. They are now fighting to see which one is a great nation that Allah/God foretold to them. They both worship the same god, many traditions are the same. The Koran says that Muslims are to respect the people of the book. I believe if you look at Mohammed's life you will see Jews saved him. What a shame it is a family fight and I do not think the God I know is on the side either of the combatants. The Christians must stand on the side of Israel for does not the bible say the Jews are chosen people of God or did God say the descendants of Abraham/Ibrahim would be his chosen people?. If they could sit down long enought they would find more in common than they thought. :) :)
