The published letter
In “Change the narrative, Mr. President” (As I See It, May 12), Melanie Phillips writes: “What the author of The Art of the Deal needs to realize, however, is that the solution lies in grasping that a deal here is impossible....”
Ms. Phillips is right. But why is the deal impossible? Because the Palestinians follow what is written in their holy texts (e.g., “Kill them wherever you find them, and drive them out from where they drove you out”).
According to Jihad Watch director Robert Spencer, this means that “no land that has ever belonged to Muslims or been ruled by Muslims can ever legitimately in the eyes of Islam be ruled by non-Muslims.”

The sent letter
Dear Sir,
Melanie Phillips writes:
"What the author of The Art of the Deal needs to realize, however, is that
the solution lies in grasping that a deal here is impossible"
Melanie Phillips is right. But why is the deal
impossible? Because the Palestinians follow what is written in their holy
texts. Robert Spencer: "[Koran]
Chapter 2 verse 191 Kill them wherever you find them, and drive them out
from where they drove you out ".
"Drive them out from where they drove you
out means that no land that has ever belonged to Muslims or been ruled by
Muslims can ever legitimately in the eyes of Islam be ruled by
non-Muslims."
Sincerely,
Mladen Andrijasevic
