The point that both you and Ibn failed to acknowledge is that the reason for expelling the Jews was RELIGIOUS, not political.  Nearly all of the Jews expelled had absolutely nothing to do with Israel.  The only fact is that they were Jews.

As I said we do discuss "Political issues" in political forums frequently. So it is not like we are not talking about it. Since there is no religious reason behind alledged deportation, I don't think we need to bring politics in religious forum.

You still haven't answered as to why Jews were expelled from Arab countries when Israel was formed.  You are implying that it is political, which I can't see how that is possible when the Jews who were expelled had nothing to do with Israel.  They were rounded up because they were Jews.  I am implying that it is based on the Qur'an's view of Jews that this occured.

 BDboy,

The only time you would answer the question is when you say that it was because they had just become Jews.

Of course you are correct; the Qur'an had just been revealed in 1948.

That's OK Ibn.  I really didn't expect an answer.  Anyway, your REAL answer would have opened up a can of worms.  I never blamed it on the Qur'an, but on those Muslims would believed they were acting on behalf of the Qur'an.  I think many Muslim countries have an innate problem with infidels and cannot separate the part from the whole.

Muslims can't act on behalf of the Qur'an but according to the commandments in the Qur'an.There is no command in the Qur'an that Muslims should expell Jews on simple fact that they are Jews. Expelling people out of their homes unjustly is regarded in Islam (the Qur'an) as worst than slaughtering them.

Wordplay only weakens you argument.
