A ray of hope

I knew there were Muslims out there who don't believe in the interpretations of the Koran so prevalent in most Islamic countries and among all too many Muslims here and abroad - that Israel must be destroyed and that all humanity must bow to Mohammad and sharia law or be killed. Proof:

The other face of the IDF….is Muslim

Although unknown to most of the world, there are many Bedouin Muslims who are loyal to the State of Israel and proudly serve in the Israeli Defense Forces.

BBC  In fact, there are thousands of Muslim Bedouin who serve in the IDF, and even bear arms against their fellow Muslims in the West Bank and Gaza. They do so although it is not compulsory for them to serve in the Israeli military, as it is for most Israeli Jews.

Israel’s Bedouin are a Muslim, Arabic-speaking group. Although these formerly nomadic people were once considered part of the Palestinian nation, most of them are now proud to call themselves 
Israelis. Co-operation between Jews and Bedouin began before the establishment of the Israeli state in 1948. In 1946, tribal leader Abu Yusuf al-Heib sent more than 60 of his men to fight alongside Zionist forces against their Arab neighbours in Galilee.

Now, if this mindset can just pervade most of the Islamic world, we might be able to live in peace with Islam.
