True, Muslims don't drink, and alcohol is often the root of bar-room brawls in US and especially in UK.
Judiasm is a religion, no?
"Israel's 1948 declaration of independence guarantees “complete equality of social and political rights to all its inhabitants irrespective of religion, race or sex.” So Israel may be a “Jewish state” in a cultural sense, but at least no more so than America can be called a “Christian state.”"
As with most things there is a complex background to the start of any conflict.
Israel with its 50,000 troops full time troops took on 240,000 (100K deployed) troops Egypt, Syria, Jordan, Iraq & Lebanon. Perhaps it should of withdrawn from seized territory but there was no certainty it would win a war against so many of its neighbours.
It probably is but the use of independent independent inspectors was again voted down recently.
The state of Israel is built on the religious "promised land" and you don't want to live in Israel as a non-Jew, believe me.
Many muslim drink but they do so in the privacy of their homes and not often in public. Muslims unlike what some seem to think are like any other people from various religions. Levels of commitment vary and not everything is followed to the letter. Catholics are not supposed to divorce or have abortions but many still do. Life goes on... It's convenient for bigots to paint all muslim with the same fanatic brush but it's very far from the truth.
Don't worry, US will never let Israel fall, not with the huge Jewish compatriot constituency on the "East Coast".
