You might not agree with my interpretation of the facts (I thought it
would do Muslims good to be exposed to an alternative interpretation),
but I'd like you to show me where the facts themselves are wrong --
it's certainly the case that the Arabs did launch into expansionistic
wars under Omar, and that from the time that the Arab-ruled province
of Filastin was first organized, down to the Turkish invasion of the
1070's A.D., Jerusalem was never the capital of Filastin.
