Israeli scholar and Islamic expert Dr. Mordechai Kedar pulled no punches in an interview on Qatar-based news station Al Jazeera, during which he emphasized the spiritual and historical ties of the Jews to the land of Israel spanning thousands of years.
“We Jews have been in Jerusalem for more than three thousand years. When the forefathers of the Muslims were in the Arabian desert worshiping idols, we were in Jerusalem worshiping the one and only G-d,” Kedar said.
“David, Solomon, and all the prophets were Jews,” he continued. “When did Islam come into the world? In the 7th Century.”
