December 25, 2017 -- Muslim scholar's perspective on Jerusalem conflict


Liaquat Ali Khan

I came across an article entitled, “First Judeo-Christian Crusade for Jerusalem,” written by Liaquat Ali Khan.  I know nearly nothing about Ali Khan, except what is provided here.  He is an Islamic scholar, and the author of several books including Contemporary Ijtihad (2011), A Theory of International Terrorism (2003), and A Theory of Universal Democracy (2003).  Khan argues that the first Judeo-Christian Crusade to retake Jerusalem can be seen in the 1917 Balfour Declaration.  June 1967 is realistically the date of the actual conquest of Jerusalem by Israel.  Finally, December 2017 is when the United States openly sided with Jews against Muslims.  Khan also holds the view that Iraq, Syria, Lebanon, Libya, and Yemen have been intentionally destroyed in order to strengthen Israel’s grasp in the region.  Iran is next in line.  I may not agree with everything, but Khan provides a unique perspective.
