SA'D AL-DIN IBRAHIM

One myth is that Islamic violence is caused by the dispute over Israel in the Middle East and American and Christian encroachments into Islam. Violence by Muslims against fellow Muslims is responsible for many more deaths than Muslims perpetrate against the West. In this example it shows that Muslim on Muslim violence in Egypt alone is far grater than the violence against the Israelis. In the Iraq war, Muslim insurgents killed many more fellow Muslims than they killed Americans. Many Muslims will kill and intimidate anyone of any religion who simply disagrees with them. Governments fighting the terrorists often, out of desperation, resort to Emergency Laws, suspensing rights or other extra judicial means. Democratic Israel, which has had to cope with terrorism for its entire existence still has a constitutional democracy and has not resorted to undemocratic extra judicial means of counter terrorism.

Before the Copts had become Christians, the Egyptians were under the control of the Greeks, Byzantines, and Persians, but before that the people could trace their ancestry to the first organized government under King Narmer in 3200 BC. So the original ethnic stock of the Egyptians were then later conquered by the Arabs and Islam and the Muslims have multiplied faster than the Copts and relegated the Copts to a minority in their own land.

The Israeli Arabs have a much higher standard of living than their coreligionists in the Arab controlled parts of Palestine and even Eqypt.See {588743} for more information that is related.

The Arab Countries are notoriously corrupt and undemocratic. Huge amounts of national resources are looted by the politicians in power and their supporters. Before Israel existed, the Jews and Arabs of Palestine both had a standard of living that was considerably less than that of Egypt. The Palestinians under the Palestine authority after 50 years have a standard of living that is still less than that of Egypt. But the Israeli citizens have a standard of living that is now far greater then the other Palestinians, but many times greater than Egypt. And that goes for the Israeli Arabs living in a free democracy also; they too are far better off than their non democratic co-religionists. See {588744}.
