Rather, Issam Amira said that the Palestinians are Muslims and they have no rights that date back 2,000, 3,000, or 4,000 years, no rights whatsoever prior to the advent of Islam which dates back only 1440 years.

It isn't Islamophobia when they really ARE trying to kill you

The law of Islam is based on conquest using the sword. According to Islamic theology, once a land is conquered by Muslims, it is always part of the Umma, the Muslim family, and can never be given back to non-Muslims.

Hope the man stays safe! There is good chance a fartwa is coming declaring him an apostate deserving of being dispatched in the traditional Islamic manner.

No mention of the persecuted Palestinians who are Christian. I guess he thinks they don’t exist.

Clearly, the statement of Issam Amira references the history of islam, not of a so-called palestinian nationality, which, in truth, never existed at all. The claim of palestinian national identity oddly never manifested itself in any form during the Ottoman Empire’s sovereignty over the region from about the 1500s to about 1915 when the British moved in. When the UK received the League of Nations mandate to administer the area it never asserted any claim of sovereignty over palestine. Nor was there any meaningful claim to palestinian identity made during Britain’s Mandatory administration from early 1920 to the re-establishment of the State of Israel in 1948. Moreover, the PLO was not even established until about 1968, some twenty years after a nation was already in existance, namely, Israel. A palestinain national identity only exists in its rejection of opportunity for its appearance in any form, anywhere. So, while Amira does assert the reality, he still “religionizes” the muslim claim to a land that islam does not own.

I wonder if he has told people that when he is late for any meeting not to refer to him as “the late Issam Amira”?
