I think it's a very dangerous question to ask! So many wars began when one decided to say that his people are chosen. Remember Hitler? He also said that German nation was "chosen" or "the best" - what was the result? The greatest war in History!!! And the Jews were the ones who suffered most!!! In that case they were chosen, by  "chosen" person!

If the people thought they are all EQUAL (not chosen), they would be able to ineract equally. That's what we all should strive for! Equality of the peoples and nations, countries and continents! When someone says they are special - there will be a problem in future!

Although i don't think so but really every nation or category of people think themselves to be the chosen.

Hitler saw the Aryan race as one he wanted to re-establish to the detriment of the many he had killed and tortured. Jesus was a Jew and his message was that of love for all men. A very different approach. Biblically the Jews were a chosen race because of  Abraham. Scripturally all men and women are chosen.

David,

Maybe this is the reason why the arabs are so eager to kill the Jews... Because they think that they are chosen by  Allakh. And so comes the war between the arabs and Israel.

In this case it may be regarded as "Being chosen" - that is to kill or to be killed. Whoever says he is chosen - he puts himself  above the others and it leads to the bloodshed. I am for equality. Saying Chosen you say that you have more rights, more priviliges. Why?

If you read what I had to say you would have seen that I ended up saying that we are all special and chosen according to Jesus. It takes a form of madness to kill just because the word chosen is used. What nonsense we all need to learn how to be tolerant and generous in our approach . Hate is what causes anger not words misunderstood. Shalom.

Hi Dew 2007 ... So u use the word may be i inform u some facts to be sure that Arabs are not eager to kill the Jews. I ask if u really don't know the real reason of the wars between Arabs and Jews. There is no reason for a nation to be involved in wars only because it is chosen. Arab and Jews lived for years and nothing happens of such wars till the 1948. According to your suggestion arabs did not discover that they are chosen before this date. Arabs wake up one day and remember : "we are chosen, lets kill jews".This is nonsense and no one can believe this. A fact to know well ..... is that our GOD is Allah Not Allakh ...(the keyboard is to be blamed i know). U have to read more about history of the Middle east wars and clashes and know what happens in dates like:

November 2nd 1917--- November 29th 1947 (what was done by the U.N)  ---  May 14th 1948 --- THen came the wars 1948,1956,1967 and 1973.

That's the very thing I meant. Perhaps it's easier to stop saying that some people are chosen? I think it may help in most cases... Don't you think so?

 Do you think that Jewish people are the chosen people?

well, let me answer your question by raising another question .

What would make a nation Or race chosen ?

I think ..assuming that God has chosen one race or a nation than another contradicts with the message that all religions call for which is Equality among all the humanbeing.

Saying that arabs has started wars with Israel just because they found out that the Jewish people are chosen is perversion of the crystal clear truth .

Every single person in the world knows what Israel is doing every day in Palestine ...and lately in lebanon.

I would like to ask the Moderator if i am allowed to upload a few Pics for the savage actions in Palestine and Lebanon .

If i am not allowed then you go and surf the net and look for the truth, the crystal truth .. and dont be fooled by the media, then you are gonna find out why they are chosen...

Generally, Jewsh people has got nothing to do with their government ...This is what a few people say and claim, also they claim that Jewsh people are totally innocent of the daily crimes that their Government commits in the arab land ..

Well , as long as they have the Democracy that we ;as arab people, are lacking of, then why they dont use it in the right way in order to change this corrupted government and replace the peace instead between Jewsh and Arab people.

Thanks for the Topic.
