Israel can exist: it is up to mankind to facilitate her existence.
In the name of Allah, Most Beneficent, Most Merciful.

http://www.news.faithfreedom.org/index.php?name=News&file=article&sid=429 explains the current conflict between the Muslims and the Jews. It has the following crucial passage:
===
The key problem is that the Israelis believe that they have god-given rights to the land which they currently occupy, and the Muslims believe that they have god-given rights to the entire landmass of the Arabian peninsula, including all of Israel and the occupied territories. Both believe just as passionately that god is on their side in the dispute, and because they both believe this, neither is willing to give way.
===
Such is not true. The Muslims shall change their perception if we could change the geography of the ‘Arabian Peninsula.’ The ‘Holy Land’ claimed by the Jews as given by God to Prophet Moses, peace be upon him, was outside the Arabian Peninsula at the time of Prophet Muhammad, peace be upon him. The construction of the Suez Canal changed the definition of the Arabian Peninsula bringing the Holy Land inside the Arabian Peninsula.
There is immense benefit to mankind through the Suez Canal. It permits shipping at a very fast rate across the African continent. Is that benefit more valuable than avoiding a clash of civilizations?
In http://www.humancafe.com/discus/messages/6/63.html?1152261566#POST1105 we have proposed a win-win solution. We suggest the conversion of the Suez Canal to Suez Lake with transfer ports at the current two ends of the canal. Such a conversion ensures that Egypt continues to earn her profit through the shorter time passage of merchandise through the Suez Lake, excludes the Holy Land from the Arabian Peninsula and thus the Muslims shall have no objection to the existence of Israel on the Holy Land.

Some believe a clash between Judaism and Islam is inevitable. Given the existing geography wherein the Red Sea and the Mediterranean Sea are joined by the Suez Canal such a clash is bound to happen. We could avoid this clash by eliminating one by one all the conditions that lead to the clash.
In the article that follows, a technical solution is proposed that is a win-win for all parties: Egypt continues to earn revenue through the short cut to transportation through the Suez Lake; Israel gets outside the Arabian Peninsula; and the rest of the world enjoys peace.
The author of the article is a very humble ordinary individual. The addressees are persons with authority. It is hoped that the existence of a solution would prompt efforts to implement the suggested solution or a better solution and thus avoid the clash between Judaism and Islam.
Thanking you for your kindness,
I remain,

Avoid Culture War

Motivation: Let us consider the following from page 2 of the Spring 2005 issue of “The Olive Branch”:
===
Seeds of Peace is a non-profit, non-political organization that helps teenagers from regions of conflict learn the skills of making peace. Set at our own camp in Maine, a safe environment is created where youngsters can air their views and learn the leadership and conflict resolution techniques required to end the cycles of war.
===
Flashpoint: A sizeable part of humanity is bent on rebuilding “The Temple” on the Temple Mount in Jerusalem. Some believe that as per the Holy Torah, Judaism alone can exist in the Holy Land. Most of us would hope that the three major religions Christianity, Islam, and Judaism could coexist in Jerusalem.
What is the Muslim position? The Muslims, some of them at least, are convinced that Islam alone can exist in the Arabian Peninsula. Thus, if Jerusalem is part of the Arabian Peninsula, Muslims are religion-bound to conquer Jerusalem and exile all non-Muslims.
In http://www.jihadunspun.com/intheatre_external.php?article=105912&list=/home.php&
Usama Bin Laden claims as follows:
===
But by the Grace of Allah, a safe base is now available in the high Hindukush mountains in Khurasan; where by the Grace of Allah the largest infidel military force of the world was destroyed. And the myth of the super power was withered in front of the Mujahideen cries of Allahu Akbar (God Is Greater).
Today we work from the same mountains to lift the iniquity that had been imposed on the Ummah by the Zionist Crusader alliance, particularly after they have occupied the blessed land around Jerusalem, route of the journey of the Prophet (Allah's Blessing And Salutations On Him) and the land of the two Holy Places. We ask Allah to bestow us with victory, He is our Patron and He is the Most Capable.
===
Everyone would agree that making Jerusalem completely Judaic or completely Muslim would be possible only after the next WW – WW3 or WW4 depending on the reader. Is conflict avoidance a part of conflict resolution? Let us hope so.
Muslim claim: What is the reason for the Muslims to insist that Jerusalem should be Islamic only? Muslims should obey and follow Prophet Muhammad, peace be upon him. From
http://www.searchtruth.com/searchHadith.php?keyword=peninsula&translator=4&searc h=1&book=&start=0&search_word=any&records_display=20&ietb=1.6
we find:
===
Yahya related to me from Malik from Ibn Shihab that the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, said, "Two deens shall not co-exist in the Arabian peninsula." Malik said that Ibn Shihab said, ''Umar ibn al-Khattab searched for information about that until he was absolutely convinced that the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, had said, 'Two deens shall not co-exist in the Arabian peninsula,' and he therefore expelled the jews from Khaybar." (Book #45, Hadith #45.5.18)

So every Muslim is religion bound to implement the above order. From http://www.searchtruth.com/searchHadith.php?keyword=tihama yemen&translator=1&se arch=1&book=&start=0&search_word=all&records_display=20
we find:
===
Narrated Said bin Jubair: Ibn 'Abbas said, "Thursday! What (great thing) took place on Thursday!" Then he started weeping till his tears wetted the gravels of the ground . Then he said, "On Thursday the illness of Allah's Apostle was aggravated and he said, "Fetch me writing materials so that I may have something written to you after which you will never go astray." The people (present there) differed in this matter and people should not differ before a prophet. They said, "Allah's Apostle is seriously sick.' The Prophet said, "Let me alone, as the state in which I am now, is better than what you are calling me for." The Prophet on his death-bed, gave three orders saying, "Expel the pagans from the Arabian Peninsula, respect and give gifts to the foreign delegates as you have seen me dealing with them." I forgot the third (order)" (Ya'qub bin Muhammad said, "I asked Al-Mughira bin 'Abdur-Rahman about the Arabian Peninsula and he said, 'It comprises Mecca, Medina, Al-Yama-ma and yemen." Ya'qub added, "And Al-Arj, the beginning of tihama.") (Book #52, Hadith #288)
===
From http://www.encyclopedia.com/html/T/Tihamah.asp we find the description of Tihama as below:
===
Tihama, or Tehama , narrow, extremely arid lowland region along the west coast of the Arabian peninsula, extending c.1,300 mi (2,090 km) from the Gulf of Aqaba S to the Bab el Mandeb straits. Some agriculture is practiced on oases, and several deep inlets, called sharms, provide excellent anchorages along the coast.
===
The Aqaba airport has the latitude of 29.5833 and a longitude of 35.0833. With this location as one end, the Arabian Peninsula has Basra with latitude 30.5000 and longitude 47.8500 as the other end.
Change due to Suez Canal: What is the effect of the digging of the Suez Canal? The west end of the Arabian Peninsula moves to a point north of Iskenderon (latitude 36.5817 and longitude 36.1650) to a latitude of 37.2500 corresponding to Adana. The west end of the Arabian Peninsula has latitude of 37.2500 and longitude of 36.1650.
Why should the definition of the Arabian Peninsula change now? The reason is found in http://ce.eng.usf.edu/pharos/wonders/Modern/suezcanal.html
From which we quote below:
===
The idea of a canal linking the Mediterranean to the Red Sea dates back to ancient times. Unlike the modern Canal, earlier ones linked the Red Sea to the Nile, therefore forcing the ships to sail along the River on their journey from Europe to India. It has been suggested that the first Canal was dug during the reign of Tuthmosis III, although more solid evidence credits the Pharaoh Necho (Sixth Century BC) for the attempt. During the Persian invasion of Egypt, King Darius I ordered the Canal completed. The Red Sea Canal, consisted of two parts: the first linking the Gulf of Suez to the Great Bitter Lake, and the second connecting the Lake to one of the Nile branches in the Delta. The canal remained in good condition during the Ptolemaic era, but fell into disrepair afterwards. It was re-dug during the rule of the Roman Emperor Trajan, and later the Arab ruler Amr Ibn-Al-Aas. Over the years, it fell again into disrepair, and was completely abandoned upon the discovery of the trade route around Africa.
It was Napoleon's engineers who, around 1800 AD, revived the idea of a shorter trade route to India via a Suez Canal. However, the calculation carried out by the French engineers showed a difference in level of 10 meters between both seas. If constructed under such circumstances, a large land area would be flooded.
===
So until the modern Suez Canal was inaugurated on November 17, 1869, the two seas were not united. The modern Suez Canal has linked the two seas and thus, now the Arabian Peninsula includes the whole area south east of the line joining the west point with latitude 37.2500 and longitude 36.1650 and the east point with latitude of 30.5000 and longitude of 47.8500.
The engineering feat of linking the Red Sea with the Mediterranean Sea has changed the contours of the Arabian Peninsula. The benefit of the modern Suez Canal is a reduction in transportation time and reduction in transportation cost. Is that worth another World War?
Goal: Can we offer all that the Suez Canal offers without keeping the canal in its present form? What happens if we build transfer ports at both ends of the canal and widen the canal to allow traffic in both directions? From http://www.eorc.jaxa.jp/en/imgdata/topics/2005/tp050725.html
We find that the canal was widened. In 1869 the canal was 44 m wide and 10 m deep. By 1975, the waterway width has become 89 m while its depth had increased to 14.5 m. From 1975 to 1980 the canal was expanded to a width of 160 m with a depth of 19.5 m. As of July 5, 2005, we are told, the canal has a width of 200 to 210 m while its depth has increased to 22.5 m to allow 250,000 ton class tankers.
As the shipping industry advanced, the canal had expanded to accommodate the largest tanker. The largest oil tanker now has a capacity of more than 300,000 tons and cannot use the canal. Are we going to expand the canal again? We propose a different approach. When the canal had a width of 89 m, 50,000 ton ships plied the channel. The channel with 200 m width could be treated as two channels of 100 m width offering two way traffics for 50,000 ton ships.
No ship carries a single load of its total capacity. Even though the ship capacity increases, the handling equipment in the ports remains the same. A ship now carries more number of items than earlier. In the case of oil, it gets pumped in and out of the oil tanker. We propose that the canal be closed on both ends with ports to unload the ships and transfer the cargo to a number of 50,000 ton ships plying the Suez Lake. When the tonnage of the ships increases, we use more 50,000 ton ships to transfer the cargo of one large ship. For example, we use 3 ships to transfer the cargo of a 150,000 ton ship and use six of them to transfer the cargo of a 300,000 ton oil tanker. Thus, we achieve:
1. A quick short cut through the Suez Lake for all time to come.
2. Since the Sinai Peninsula is connected to the African Continent at both ends of the current Suez Canal, the definition of the Arabian Peninsula reverts to the same as was during the time of Prophet Muhammad, peace be upon him, releasing the whole of Israel from the Peninsula that permits Islam alone.
From http://touregypt.net/suezcanal.htm we find:
===
The first efforts to build a modern canal came from the Egypt Expedition of Napoleon Bonaparte, who hoped the project would create a devastating trade problem for the English. Though this project was begun in 1799 by Charles Le Pere, a miscalculation estimated that the levels between the Mediterranean Sea and the Read Sea were too great and work was quickly suspended.
…
Work finally began on the canal in 1859 near Port Said. Pasha Said was very open to European influence, and in fact, was a childhood friend of Ferdinand De Lesseps, who founded the Universal Company of the Suez ( and built the Canal). After the company ran into financial problems, it was also Pasha Said who purchased 44 percent of the company to keep it in operation. However, the British and Turks were concerned with the venture and managed to have work suspended for a short time, until the intervention of Napoleon III. Between 1860 and 1862, the first part of the canal was completed. However, after Ismail succeeded Pasha Said in 1863, the work was again suspended. After Ferdinand De Lesseps again appealed to Napoleon III, an international commission was formed in March of 1864. The commission resolved the problems and within three years, the canal was completed. On November 17, 1869 the barrage of the Suez plains reservoir was breached and waters of the Mediterranean flowed into the Red Sea.
===
We find that the idea was mooted during the time of Napoleon Bonaparte and was actually carried out through the intervention of Napoleon III. From http://www.aish.com/jewishissues/jewishsociety/Ruling_the_World.asp we find:
===
It is high time to fess up and tell the world the truth: We Jews do run the world. And we've been running things for a very long time, manipulating world events for our own needs.
…
Napoleon was a Jew -- no wonder he wanted to reconvene the Sanhedrin. Napoleon had this nervous habit of playing with the Chai around his neck all the time. But he would do it by putting his hand in shirt.
===
The above Napoleon possibly refers to Napoleon Bonaparte. Thus, we could infer that Jews indeed had built the Suez Canal. What would the Jews say regarding Jerusalem? If they are to insist that Judaism alone could exist in Jerusalem, we cannot avoid the WW. However, at least for now, it might not be so. From http://msnbc.msn.com/id/10964005/site/newsweek/ we find:
===
Israel's new foreign minister was raised on the idea of Greater Israel. Now she's working with a different map.
LIVNI: Today was the memorial for my father. I just came from the graveyard. On his gravestone is written here lies the head of operations of the irgun [an underground organization that fought for the establishment of the state of Israel]. On his tombstone is a map of Greater Israel, with both sides of the Jordan Valley as part of Israel. Many ask if territorial compromise is against my father's ideology. I say he taught me to believe in a democratic Israel as a homeland for the Jewish people where all enjoy equal rights. [But] I came to the conclusion that I... have to choose, and my choice is to [create] a homeland for the Jewish people but only in part of the land of Israel.
===
Could we hope that the realistic politicians of Israel would permit Jerusalem to be multi-religious? If so, there is a possibility that indeed the clash of cultures could be avoided by implementing the following plan or a better one.
We plan to use 50000 ton ships inside the Suez Lake. From http://www.muslim-names.co.uk/index.php?sectionfiltered=2&page=1&letter=F&PHPSES SID=d5bb7948b843cfe7349240a562debf73 we find the length of a 65,000 ton cruise ship is 780’. From http://www.sealetter.com/Sep-98/dougcol.html we notice that a Mega Ship of about 70,000 tonnages has a length of 850’. A crude carrier of 50,000 to 80,000 tonnages is said to be 965’ long as per http://www.njscuba.net/artifacts/ship_tanker.html . The URL http://www.njscuba.net/artifacts/ship_liner.html has the information that the 53,290 ton liner United States is 990’ long. From the above data, we conclude that a 50,000 ton ship to be used inside the Suez Lake would be 1000’ or 300 m long.
The maximum number of ships in the Suez Canal inside the Suez Lake would be 3 ships per km, or 580 ships one way. A total of 1160 ships in the canal form a full string either way. The canal cannot accommodate more. Thus, a provision for berthing 1160 ships along a total berth length of 386 km or say, 400 km at either end of the Suez Lake ensures that there would be no need to expand or modify the lake in future.
The water way inside the lake is 300 m wide at the berths, while it is 500 m wide outside to accommodate future super tankers. For a 300,000 ton tanker, we use 6 ships of 50,000 ton capacity. A berth length of 1.8 km requires an arc length of 0.9 km, corresponding to the sum of 300 m inside the lake for the 50,000 ton ship, 500 m outside the lake for the supertankers, and two walls of 50 m thickness. Thus, a berth length of 400 km requires an arc of 200 km. Assuming a half circle, the radius of the circle is approximately 64 km. At a distance of 64 km from the shore, the sea might be rather deep. If so we need to reduce the arc length. This could be accomplished by accommodating k super tankers in one berth loop. The number k could be decided based on the sea depth at the two ends of the existing Suez Canal.
To convert the Suez Canal that changes the definition of the Arabian Peninsula which now includes the Holy Land inside the Muslim land to the old definition that prevailed at the time of Prophet Muhammad, peace be upon him, that excludes the Holy Land from the Muslim land calls for just building 800 km of walls in the sea at both ends of the existing Suez Canal, at 400 km of walls at each end. We have the cake and eat it too. We get reduced time of transporting goods through the short cut without risking the next WW.
Finances: It is proposed that the World community meets the expenses of converting the Suez Canal to Suez Lake. The cost to the World community would be much less compared to the cost of destruction that a WW would cause.

Why not persuade mankind to convert the Suez Canal to Suez Lake with transfer ports at both ends and avoid the clash between Muslims and Jews?
