                Muslims Invite the People of the Book to the
                "Oneness of God"


                Only argue with the People of the Book in the kindest way – except
                in the case of those of them who do wrong – saying, "We have faith in
                what has been sent down to us and what was sent down to you. Our
                God and your God are One and we submit to Him." (Qur'an, 29:46)

                Say, "People of the Book! Come to a proposition which is the same for
                us and you – that we should worship none but God and not associate
                any partners with Him and not take one another as lords besides
                God." If they turn away, say, "Bear witness that we are Muslims."
                (Qur'an, 3:64)

                These verses show that the duty of Muslims is not to disparage the
           People of the Book, force them into a corner, feel hatred for or kill
           them, as some fabricated hadiths suggest. It is simply to summon them
           to the oneness of God in the most pleasant manner. Monotheism is the
           fundamental doctrine in all three faiths. Muslims can meet with and
           speak to the People of the Book, preach to them and call on them to

           believe in the oneness of God and all the sacred scriptures that have
           been sent down. Communication, preaching and friendship exist
           among them. According to the Qur'an, a Muslim has a responsibility to
           speak kindly to a Jew or a Christian when he sees one and to invite him
           to believe in the oneness of God using very kind words, rather than
           jostling him into a corner.


                The Jews Enjoy the Right to Live in the Holy

                Land in the Qur'an

                Since some Muslim communities are unaware of the verses of the
           Qur'an and are exceedingly ignorant on the subject of Islam, they strive

           to remove the Jews from the Holy Land or to wipe the state of Israel off
           the map. They are unaware that in doing this they are rebelling against
           the Qur'an.
