Islamic History Expert: Never Will be Moslem Peace With Israel

Islam History Professor Moshe Sharon of Hebrew University told a counter-terrorism conference Thursday that, "There is no possibility
of peace between Israel and the Palestinians whatsoever - ever."

Sharon, speaking at the annual conference of Herzeliya's Counter
Terrorism Institute, said that Iran is dead serious about obtaining
and using nuclear weapons in order to bring about its vision of an
Islamic End of Days.

[...]

Sharon's assessment focused on the danger posed by Iran. From studying
Iranian culture, literature, newspapers, broadcasts and interviews
with major players in the Islamic regime, Sharon concludes that a deep
belief in a Shiite messiah is at the root of Iran's nuclear project.
"They truly believe that the Shiite messiah, the twelfth Imam (also
known as the Mahdi), is here, and that he will reveal himself. What
moves the Iranian government and leadership today is first and
foremost the wish to bring about the twelfth Imam."

Addressing the theological doctrine of how exactly the 12th Imam will
be revealed, Sharon explained: "How will they bring him? Through an
apocalypse. He (the Mahdi) needs a war. He cannot come into this world
without an Armageddon. He wants an Armageddon. The earlier we
understand this the better. Ahmadinejad wants nuclear weapons for
this!"

Sharon has in the past insisted that the Western world was engaging in
great folly by differentiating between radical and peaceful Islam.
"All of a sudden we see that the greatest interpreters of Islam are
politicians in the Western world," he wrote. "They know better than
all the speakers in the mosques, all those who deliver terrible
sermons against anything that is either Christian or Jewish. These
Western politicians know that there is good Islam and bad Islam. They
know even how to differentiate between the two, except that none of
them know how to read a word of Arabic."

"The difference between Judaism, Christianity and Islam is as follows:
Judaism speaks about national salvation - namely that at the end of
the story, when the world becomes a better place, Israel will be in
its own land, ruled by its own king and serving G-d. Christianity
speaks about the idea that every single person in the world can be
saved from his sins, while Islam speaks about ruling the world. I can
quote here in Arabic, but there is no point in quoting Arabic, so let
me quote a verse in English: "Allah sent Mohammed with the true
religion so that it should rule over all the religions."

"The idea, then, is not that the whole world would will necessarily
become Moslem at this time, but that the whole world would be subdued
under the rule of Islam." That, Sharon insists, is the plan, in black- and-white, of the Iranian regime.

"This is why [Iranian President Mahmoud] Ahmadinejad seeks nuclear
weapons," he emphasized. "The faster we realize this the better."
