Most of the arguments which has been said in this thread makes me want to puke. I can understand some of your reasonings living in Israel. But let me tell you, don't you think it's worse for the people living in Palestine, they don't know where the next bomb is going to hit?
As I said before, how the OP started this topic clearly stating his hatred against a religion based on facts he probably have snapped through Fox/BBC etc is just sad.
What's an "Islamic" people or an "Islamic" government, I don't understand...

Second, there is no such thing as Palestine, it called Palestinian territories. Which have the West Bank and Gaza Strip as their de facto home. I DO NOT like Benjamin Netanyahu, who is starting shit.
Third, both 'Palestinians' and Israelis are at fault.
Fouth, there is such thing as an Islamic government:
Islamic republic is the name given to several states in the Muslim world including the Islamic Republics of Pakistan, Iran, Afghanistan, and Mauritania. Pakistan adopted the title under the constitution of 1956. Mauritania adopted it on 28 November 1958. Iran adopted it after the 1979 Islamic Revolution that overthrew the Pahlavi dynasty. Afghanistan adopted it after the 2001 overthrow of the Taliban. Despite the similar name the countries differ greatly in their governments and laws.
The term Islamic republic has come to mean several different things, some contradictory to others. To those Muslim religious leaders in the Middle East and Africa who advocate it, an Islamic Republic is a state under a particular theocratic form of government. They see it as a compromise between a purely Islamic Caliphate, and secular nationalism and republicanism. In their conception of the Islamic republic, the penal code of the state is required to be compatible with some laws of Sharia, and the state may not be a monarchy as many Middle Eastern states are presently.
In other cases, it is merely a symbol of cultural identity, as was the case when Pakistan adopted the title. In fact many argue that an Islamic Republic strikes a middle path between a completely secular and a theocratic (and/or Orthodox Islamic) system of government.
Iran's Islamic republic is in contrast to the semi-secular state of the Islamic Republic of Pakistan, where Islamic laws are technically considered to override laws of the state, though in reality their relative hierarchy is ambiguous.
