LET US EDUCATE OURSELVES A LITTLE

•Judaism:                                74.00%  

•Islam:                                      17.80%

PALESTINE  POPULATION:

• Xtians    :                             20.00%

•Others     :                               5.00%

What the data says in brief:

Palestine have more Christian in percentage and possibly absolute population than Israel.

Out of 1000 killed in Palestine, 200 are most likely Xtians.

Nigerian Muslims and Xtians, let cure ourselves of ignorance and stop delving into what is purely a political/ struggle for control of resources. Stop seeing it as religious.

If after this data you still couldn't understand it,  I am sorry you need to up your knowledge of International diplomacy and global issues.

Sunday Musings: Israel And Palestine, What's even my own business with it anyways?

Is the God of Israel still the God of the 46,000 ethnic Palestinians who are Christians?

Is Allah of the Israelites who are Muslims, the same Allah of the Palestinians who are Muslims?

When you support Israel because you are a Christian, what of the Palestinian Christians and the Palestinian church?

When you support Palestine because you are a Muslim, what of the Israelites who are Muslims?

If Palestine is destroyed today, it will go down with sacred Christian holy sites like the Church of Nativity, Mar Saba Monastery, Mount of Temptation Monastery, The Church of St. Catherine, Cave of St. Jerome, Carmel of the Holy Child Jesus, Jacob's Well, Cave of the Patriarchs, the Monastery of Saint Gerassimos, Genesis Land, which are all located inside the Palestinian territory.

In like manner, if Israel is destroyed today, it will also go down with sacred Islamic holy sites including, the Temple Mount, Al- Aqsa Mosque, Dome of the Rock, Mosque of Omar, El-Jazzar Mosque, Horns of Hattin, which are all located inside Israel.

So, before you jump into the fray and quote the Quran or Bible to justify the killing of human beings as a fulfillment of prophesy or the revenge of Allah, take a deep breathe and ask yourself, if you were God, which side will you support in this carnage.

Ask yourself, if ever that war has been a religious war or a political war or an ethnic war?

If you find the right answers, you will agree with the UN that the path to sanity is not this global divide and rule, but for the warring parties to adopt the two-state solution, as proposed by the comity of nations.

But come to think of it, what's even my own business with it anyways? Nigeria has our own numerous problems but it just pays to learn.
