I would like to add a point here for all of us on this thread and similar thread, muslim or non muslim. Do u know how it is to live under occupation? No most of us here simply talk according to academic or intellecutual background, using own mental capabilities to analyze and discuss and then even judge which is a major issue. I think my Muslim brothers and sisters understand what I mean.
If u never experienced what it is to live under occupation then dont contribute your input here because u do so through theoritical rather than practical experience. I tried to rephrase my comment for more clarification.
Egypt was once occupied for over 80 years by the Brits, resistence groups gave them hell until they were out. They did terrify them in the streets. was this illegitimate? of course yes.
