Islam Owns Any Land It Ever Occupied, Including Israel, Spain, Large Parts of Russia, a Third of China, and All of India, According to Islamic Doctrine

Ayatollah Ali Khamenei (the Supreme Leader of Iran) has published a new 416-page book called "Palestine." So far, the only place the book is available is in Iran. Khamenei's position is, of course, that Israel has no right to exist.

"Khamenei claims that his strategy for the destruction of Israel is not based on anti-Semitism," writes Amir Taheri in the New York Post, "which he describes as a European phenomenon. His position is instead based on 'well-established Islamic principles.'

"One such principle is that a land that falls under Muslim rule, even briefly, can never again be ceded to non-Muslims. What matters in Islam is ownership of a land’s government, even if the majority of inhabitants are non-Muslims."

Khamenei is well-versed in Islamic doctrine, including advanced levels of Muslim education, and he was an Islamic teacher and cleric before he started his political career.

"Dozens of maps circulate in the Muslim world showing the extent of Muslim territories lost to the Infidel that must be recovered," writes Taheri. "These include large parts of Russia and Europe, almost a third of China, the whole of India and parts of the Philippines and Thailand."
