I Want to Go to Isreal...

I was born into a Muslim family, I am no longer Muslim but I have always supported Isreal. I think I have a Jewish soul. There are so many Islamic nations and only one country for the Jewish faith followers. It's fair to say the original inhabitants of isreal were perhaps pushed out out centuries ago when Islam gained tremendous power, it's fair that they give it back to their brothers without quarrel. There really shouldn't be a dispute. I always support what's fair, from young age I even told my family that I didn't agree with the Palestinians trying to take over the Jewish holy city. The Muslims have mecca and medina. I think Muslims should support the struggle of isreal.

You're mixing up race, religion and nationality.

Mecca is a holy site for Islam, in the same sense as the Western Wall to Jews and the Vatican to Catholics.

Israel's citizenry is composed primarily, ordered by numbers, of: Jews, Muslims, Christians and Druze.

Only a small percentage of Muslims is Arab.

Arabs are Muslim, Christian, Druze, and Jewish, primarily.

Palestinians are not trying to take over the Jewish Holy city, they do however want to self-govern its Arab half.

Islam was a late arrival, but there is no "original" religion for the area, and the idea of Judaism, came from what's today Iraq. The historical claim to the land, is a religious one, and consists of the belief that God himself, acting as a real estate agent, gave the land to the Jews and told them to evict those who lived in the space.

I am not attacking you, but you should probably do some non-propagandized reading about this. It's not as straightforward as you may think, and you really cannot convert to Judaism, unless you follow reform Judaism, and in that case, you're probably not going to be recognized by the Orthodox hierarchy. The latter will tell you that the only way for you to become a Jew, is to be born to a Jewish mother.

@Northwest: North I have a Jewish soul. I can not change what my soul craves. I did not say that I would convert to Judaism. I just love everything Jewish. I'm Jewish in every sense. I probably will not follow any religion. I will just abide by the 10 commandments. Peace and love 🌹

@Cougarmilf: You said that you were born into a Muslim family, so you're almost there.

Islam copies heavily from the Old Testament, with a nod to Christ and the Virgin Mary (Mary's virginity is acknowledged in the Qur'an), with modifications for family law (marriage, divorce).

Halal and Kosher rules are pretty much the same. The ten commandments apply to Islam as well.

I am the Lord thy God, Thou shalt have no other gods before me
Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image
Thou shalt not take the name of the Lord thy God in vain
Remember the sabbath day, to keep it holy
Honour thy father and thy mother
Thou shalt not kill
Thou shalt not commit adultery
Thou shalt not steal
Thou shalt not bear false witness against thy neighbour
Thou shalt not covet

One can argue that both the OT and Islam allow the killing of the enemies of God, but that's a whole other discussion.

Peace and love to you too.

Someone said in another of your posts that they believed in reincarnation,I also firmly believe in it,from what you say it seems that you were jewish in a past life and had decided to be reborn in a muslim family to experience islam first hand,there are things you needed to know.You have learned those things and now your soul is pushing you back to where you really belong.

I support Israel too but I cannot say it out loud in this Muslim country because I will be imprisoned.
