EXCEPT WHEN IT ISN’T. Noor Dahri – Pakistani Founder and Executive Director of Islamic Theology of Counter Terrorism – explains why there is no contradiction…and in doing so has put his own life in danger.
BUT WAIT, THERE’S MORE! Sara Zoabi, an Israeli Arab Muslim, has for years been a staunch supporter of Israel, even describing herself as a “proud Zionist.”
This despite the fact that Zoabi is an Arab Muslim from the northern town of Nazareth, where she’s received many threats for allegedly “betraying” her people. Of course, as Zoabi has explained in the past to Israel Today, what the mainstream media doesn’t show is that a great many Arabs and Muslims think like her, and are happy to be living as citizens in the Jewish state.
Noor Dahri doesn’t sound very insincere. He’s just trying to score points with US Republicans for his own career interests, that’s what he sounds like.
Just like your Moslem poster Ghulam who I believe was commenting here to convince everyone that he’s a modern Islam reformist or something. Maybe just to brag to his radical Moslem friends that he comments on a popular anti-Islam website after winning the trust of the Jewish site owner.
Don’t you get it, these closet Jehadi Moslems will say anything to pull a wool over your eyes. You are naive for believing in their falsehood and forked tongues.
The only Moslem I’d trust is someone who openly declares they have quit Islam, and no longer wish to identify with that way of life. That’s someone you can give a chance to as I don’t blame people for what they were born into. Do you blame a prostitute/pimp’s child for being led down that path? If they quit that occupation, they deserve the full support of a civilised society.
Now Noor Zoabi is someone who lives in Israel and I am inclined to believe she wants to fight for her country. Still, “Muslim Zionist” sounds plain silly.
The Israeli Arabs enjoy the standard of living of Israel, and they are very happy with their lot. The only difference in the way that they are treated by the Israeli government is that military service for Jewish citizens is mandatory, whereas military service for Israeli Arabs is optional. But, nonetheless, many volunteer for military service. Israeli Arabs serve in the Knesset (equivalent to Congress or Parliament), they serve as judges including one on Israel’s Supreme Court. They own businesses, many with Jewish partners, and of course, most, as Israelis, are regular workers, earning a good salary and supporting their families. About 10 years ago, an Arab section of Israel under Israeli control bordering the West Bank, voted on a referendum to cede Israeli rule and become ruled by the Palestinian Authority. A super-majority voted to stay with Israel.
Unfortunately, within the last few years, some of these Arabs tried to cause trouble by violence in response to Israel’s policies. Believe it or not, their fellow Israeli Arabs helped the police quash the insurrection, and all seems to be good for now.
I’m pretty sure that for the most part, Israeli Arabs, although Muslim, are secular. They probably would be shunned (or worse) by the Muslim fanatics.
And many of the Israeli Arabs proudly serve in the IDF.

Wouldnt anyone be proud to serve on the winners side. I am very carefull to things like this because what if he turns at the important moment in a fight or what if he lets his landsmen come at night and kill us or if he playes with our weapons or ammo. These questions are important and must be looked at. Other than that ok why not we can use as many fighters as come.
