Muslim critics of Israel often say that Jerusalem's holy sites must be
transferred to Muslim control, because of the central role they play in
Islamic theology. For instance, the Dome of the Rock was built on the site
where Mohammed is believed to have ascended to Heaven to receive the
revelation of the Qur'an.
However, these people seldom actually quote the Qur'an itself. This is
probably because, amazing as it sounds, the Qur'an actually supports the
Zionist cause.
Specifically, Mohammed in Sura 5:21 quotes Moses telling the Jews to "enter
into the holy land which Allah has assigned to you". While Mohammed later
criticizes the Jews for their sins and their refusal to accept Mohammed's
message, he never says that, as punishment, Allah has revoked their title to
the land. Hence the title still stands, and Muslim anti-Zionists are
apostates.
Indeed, this is the opinion of Sheikh Prof. Abdul Hadi Palazzi, co-chairman
of the Islam-Israel Fellowship, who condemns the Palestinian uprising as
"fitnah" (sedition), which is forbidden in Islam as long as the Muslims are
granted religious freedom.
A case could even be made that Israel's victory over the Arabs in the 1948
war was a judgement by Allah against the Arabs for their apostasy in opposing
the Zionists.
This would be their just reward for transgressing Sura 2:190, which says,
"Fight in the way of Allah against those who fight against you, but begin not
hostilities."
Moreover, Sura 60:9 forbids aiding the enemies of the Muslim people. Contrast
this with the Palestinians' continued support of Saddam Hussein, whose hands
are red with the blood of Iranian, Kurdish, and Kuwaiti Muslims.
The Jews' return from 19 centuries of exile is actually the fulfillment of
Islamic prophecy. Sura 17:104 says that "when the promise of the Hereafter
comes to pass, We [Allah] shall bring you as a crowd gathered out of various
nations".
Sura 17:4 says, "And We [Allah] gave (clear) warning to the children of
Israel in the Book, that twice would they do mischief on the earth and be
elated with mighty arrogance (and twice would they be punished)!"
The succeeding verses tell us that the punishment referred to was banishment from
the land. But "twice" means twice, not three times; hence the Jews, having
been banished from the land once by the Babylonians and a second time by
Rome, will never again be banished from the land. According to the Qur'an,
Israel is an eternal nation.
Moreover, "twice would they do mischief on the earth" means twice, not three
times; hence the Jews will never again do mischief on the earth. In
particular, the Jews cannot bear moral responsibility for the Palestinian
refugee problem.
Sura 83:1 says, "Woe to those that deal in fraud"; yet Yasir Arafat reneged
on his promise to guard Joseph's Tomb in Nablus after the Israeli troops
withdrew.
The Palestinians deny that there ever was a Jewish Temple in Jerusalem. But
Sura 17:7 records the destruction of the First Temple by Babylon and the
Second Temple by Rome, and Mohammed never contests the Bible's claim that the
Temples were in Jerusalem.
Sura 16:126 says, "If ye punish, then punish with the like of that wherewith
ye were afflicted." Yet Ariel Sharon's nonviolent, if provocative, visit to
the Temple Mount was met with rioting, including the use of firebombs and
AK-47's.
The Palestinians are hypocrites. "Allah akhbar!", they chant; "G-d is great!"
Yet they flagrantly transgress their own cherished Scriptures. Is it any
wonder that they have allied themselves over the years with such villains as
Adolf Hitler, Yosef Stalin, and Saddam Hussein?
Quran references to the land of Israel:
Sura5:19-22 references:
People of the Book!
"Bear in mind the words of Moses to his people.He said,"Remember,my people,the favour which G-d has bestowed upon you.He raised up prophets from among you,made you kings, and given to you that which He has given no other nation.Enter,my people,the holy land which G-d has assigned for you
Sura 10:93
We settled the Israelites in a blessed land and provided them with good things.
Sura17:103
Then We said to the Israelites,"Dwell in this land.When the promise of the hearafter comes to be fulfilled,We shall assemble you all together."
An interesting note is the fact Muslims deride the Talmudic writings as "rabbinic garbage".Please take note that these Talmudic verses not only predate Mohammed,they predate Isa (Jesus)
Tosefta,Saheddrin 13:The righteous of all nations have a share in the World to Come.
Tana DeBei Eliahu Rabbah 9: I call heaven and earth as witnesses:Any individual,whether gentile or Jew,man or woman,servant or maid,can bring the Divine Presence upon himself in accordance to his deeds.

compared to
Sura 82:62 Those who believe (in the Qur'an), and those who follow the Jewish
(scriptures), and the Christians and the Sabians,- any who believe in Allah and the Last Day, and work righteousness, shall have their reward with their Lord; on them shall be no fear, nor shall they grieve.
Sanhedrin 37b:
Whover kills a single soul,scripture ascribes to him that he has killed a complete world
Sanhedrin 37a:And whoever saves a single soul,scripture ascribes to him as though he saved an entire world
Compared to
Sura5:33 On account of this,We prescribed to the Children of Israel that whoever killed a person-unless it be for killing a person or for creating disorder in the land-it shall be as if he killed all mankind;and whoso gave life to one,it shall be as if he gave life to all mankind.
