The quran says from the begining [2:63] that Jews and Christians are believers and continues talking about "believers" through out the book. It only singles out Christians or Jews for comments that the Quran thinks people of that religion do wrong at that time such as Christians that believe Jesus is a god and now a days everyone knows and agrees he is human. Islam was mentioned when it says "God's religion is Islam" but since its Arabic it just means God believes in peace (Islam). While reading the Quran I did not think it was going against my or your religion. Please take a look at my article, I wrote it just for such misconceptions. Also note that not all branches of Islam emphasize on the importance of 2:63 which is why I spoke out against some radical branches in my posts. Me personally find Liberal Islam most agreeable part of the spectrum. Men and Women pray together and they dont follow the Haddith (which I find unnecessary since muslims are required to compete with each other in doing good not do equally good as Muhammed, who is only human, did 600AD) but just the Quran. Just because Jesus pushed a boy off a roof does not mean Christians shwould (should or would) do the same.
The Quran outspoke against double morals though between groups of people, making an apartheid state that can truely call it's self "Islamic" impossible. I believe I mentioned in that article as well what I think about Saudi calling them self an Islamic country. Dhimi law is one of those controversial sharia laws that dont make sense at all (sharia laws most muslims do not want). Stoning is also another sharia law that does not make sense as it is not in the quran and a law that treats different types of believers different also would not make sense as Dhimmi means monotheistic.
I might have to see sources on creators of the "gelber stern" as I have difficulties finding it?
Islam means submission, not peace.
“And kill them wherever you find them, and drive them out from where they drove you out; persecution is worse than slaughter. But fight them not by the Holy Mosque until they should fight you there; then, if they fight you, kill them — such is the recompense of unbelievers, but if they give over, surely Allah is all-forgiving, all-compassionate. Fight them until there is no persecution and the religion is Allah’s; then if they give over, there shall be no enmity save for evildoers.” (Qur’an 2:191-193)
“We will cast terror into the hearts of those who disbelieve for what they have associated with Allah of which He had not sent down authority. And their refuge will be the Fire, and wretched is the residence of the wrongdoers.” (Qur’an 3:151)
“They wish that you should disbelieve as they disbelieve, and then you would be equal; therefore do not take friends from among them, until they emigrate in the way of Allah; then, if they turn their backs, seize them and kill them wherever you find them; do not take for yourselves any one of them as friend or helper.” (Qur’an 4:89)
“This is the recompense of those who fight against Allah and His Messenger, and hasten about the earth to do corruption there: they shall be killed, or crucified, or their hands and feet shall be struck off on opposite sides; or they shall be exiled from the land. That is a degradation for them in this world; and in the world to come awaits them a mighty chastisement.” (Qur’an 5:33)
“When your Lord was revealing to the angels, ‘I am with you; so confirm the believers. I shall cast terror into the hearts of the unbelievers; so strike the necks, and strike every finger of them!” (Qur’an 8:12)
“Fight them, till there is no persecution and religion is all for Allah; then if they give over, surely Allah sees the things they do.” (Qur’an 8:39)
“Make ready for them whatever force and strings of horses you can, to strike terror into the enemy of Allah and your enemy, and others besides them that you know not; Allah knows them. And whatever you spend in the way of Allah shall be repaid you in full; you will not be wronged.” (Qur’an 8:60)
“Then, when the sacred months are over, kill the idolaters wherever you find them, and take them, and confine them, and lie in wait for them at every place of ambush. But if they repent, and perform the prayer, and pay the alms, then let them go their way; Allah is All-forgiving, All-compassionate.” (Qur’an 9:5)
“Fight those who believe not in Allah and the Last Day and do not forbid what Allah and His Messenger have forbidden, and do not practice the religion of truth, even if they are of the People of the Book — until they pay the jizya with willing submission and feel themselves subdued.” (Qur’an 9:29)
“Allah has bought from the believers their selves and their possessions against the gift of Paradise; they fight in the way of Allah; they kill, and are killed; that is a promise binding upon Allah in the Torah, and the Gospel, and the Koran; and who fulfils his covenant truer than Allah? So rejoice in the bargain you have made with Him; that is the mighty triumph.” (Qur’an 9:111)
“O believers, fight the unbelievers who are near to you; and let them find in you a harshness; and know that Allah is with the godfearing.” (Qur’an 9:123)
“When you meet the unbelievers, strike their necks, then, when you have made wide slaughter among them, tie fast the bonds; then set them free, either by grace or ransom, till the war lays down its loads. So it shall be; and if Allah had willed, He would have avenged Himself upon them; but that He may try some of you by means of others. And those who are slain in the way of Allah, He will not send their works astray.” (Qur’an 47:4)

My personal favoured tactic that I think Israel should use against the Islamist terrorists is the one employed successfully by Jordan in their Black September campaign.

is you mean this one it looks like a lot of bloodshed...
In your comment about catholics i think i found a better picture of what your view point is.
previously i was trying to convince you that islam is not bad at all but that does not appear to be the issue, as you seem to also be against catholics due to history.
your dislike about islam is not ideological caused but historically caused, hence since you sympathize with people of jewish descendancies you are rooting for them...
Perhaps there is though something you have missed in doing so:
through out history there were catholics kililng jews and muslims, muslims killing jews and catholics, protestants kiling catholics and vice versa, buddhists (myanmar example) killing muslims, atheists (china) killing all other religion, and after 2000 years being a minority finally jews killing muslims.
There seems to be little correlation on ideology on who is killing who, but who is the minority. not understanding someone else's complicated belief system is making people hard to understand, hence people feel fear towards them, blame them for something and use this blame as an excuse to kill the minority. Fearing what we dont understand is human nature.
i generally believe people are raised to do good. merging palestine and israel will clear boundaries of misunderstanding, and with the right nudge, such as helping bring understanding among each other i believe people will be willing to go along with each other.
it seems clear to me that there has been some demonization of the other side. the timesofgaza twitter link i posted showed videos of normal israeli citizen attacking palestinian pedestrians, while my believe is that this citizen was thinking that this pedestrian was the same as a terrorist for being palestinian, which is a clear misunderstanding. then experiencing this inhumane treatment from israel probably some palestinians will feel hate towards israeli and think they do this because they are inhuman. it is misunderstanding and unknowing that causes people to hate each other. people are taught in all religions that its good to do good and hence will have intentions in doing good.
i believe you were also having sympathetic thoughts towards israel when you suggested such bloody solution, because i know i am talking to another human somewhere.
if this did not convince you then i did not grasp your view point, and i must ask you to elaborate.
