Why Can't Arabs and Jews Get Along?

OnIslam, which is a breakaway website from Islam Online, has a fatwa section where someone recently asked this:

Can you answer the question why the Palestinians and the Israelis have been fighting for so long? What is it all about? Why do they seem to hate each other so much? Is it related to the Catholic/Protestant faith, Judaism and Islam?


The answer given is very illuminating.

It illustrates why real peace is impossible: because the other side doesn’t even know the basic facts about Judaism, Zionism and Israel. It is simply not possible to reach an agreement when one side’s entire conception of the others is, simply, filled with lies.

How to Peacefully Promote the Culture

BY CHRISTINA PASSARIELLO, WSJ

PARIS—Over a feast of foie gras, crispy pig ears and white Burgundy, a group of epicurean French politicians recently added a new twist to a debate over national identity: You are what you eat. By that definition, being properly French means dining on croissants, brie and duck confit.

The call is a sign of rising culinary nationalism amid fears that the pre-eminence of French cuisine has evaporated. It has also reframed the continuing question of what it means to be French: Couscous and other foreign foods cooked by the country's millions of ethnic and religious minorities aren't on the menu.
