Israel

Does the Qur'an advocate the destruction of the state of Israel?

One might think so, based on the behaviour and policies of so many people and groups that claim to be part of Islam. But the Qur'an no more supports this belief than the Bible supported the Crusades or the Inquisition as legitimate Christian activities.

In fact, quite the opposite is true. The Qur'an quotes Moses in Sura 5:21. He tells the Israelites: ... enter the holy land that God has decreed for you ....

It's quite clear that it is Allah's will that the Israelites occupy this land.
