فَإِذا جاءَ وَعْدُ أُولاهُما بَعَثْنا عَلَیْکُمْ عِباداً لَنا أُولِی بَأْس شَدِید فَجاسُوا خِلالَ الدِّیارِ وَ کانَ وَعْداً مَفْعُولاً (5)
THEN WHEN THERE CAME TO PASS ONE OF THE TWO PROMISES, WE RAISED AGAINST YOU SERVANTS OF US (WHO WERE) VIGOROUS WARRIORS, AND THEY SEARCHED THE HOUSES, AND IT WAS A DEFINITE PROMISE.
ثُمَّ رَدَدْنا لَکُمُ الْکَرَّةَ عَلَیْهِمْ وَ أَمْدَدْناکُمْ بِأَمْوال وَ بَنِینَ وَ جَعَلْناکُمْ أَکْثَرَ نَفِیراً (6)
THEN WE PASSED TO YOU THEN TURN 9TO PREVAIL) OVER THEM. 9THE HICH TIDE BECAME YOURS) AND WE AIDED YOU WITH PROPERTIES AND CHILDREN, AND WE MADE YOU A MORE NUMEROUS PEOPLE.
إِنْ أَحْسَنْتُمْ أَحْسَنْتُمْ لا َِنْفُسِکُمْ وَ إِنْ أَسَأْتُمْ فَلَها فَإِذا جاءَ وَعْدُ الآخِرَةِ لِیَسُوؤُا وُجُوهَکُمْ وَ لِیَدْخُلُوا الْمَسْجِدَ کَما دَخَلُوهُ أَوَّلَ مَرَّة وَ لِیُتَبِّرُوا ما عَلَوْا تَتْبِیراً (7)
IF YOU DID WELL, YOU DID WELL FOR YOURSELF, AND IF YOU HAVE DONE EVIL, (IT TOO) WAS FOR YOURSELF. THEN WHEN THE NEXT PROMISE CAME TO PASS, SO AS TO SADDEN YOUR FACES (AGAIN) AND THEY TO ENTER THE HOLY TEMPLE AS THEY ENTERED IT (VIOLENTLY) AT THE FIRST TIME; AND TO DESTROY WHAT WOULD FALL IN THEIR POWER WITH UTTER DESTRUCTION!
Following the prophet's night Journey to the Holy Temple in Jerusalem, the argument once again turns to the Israelites bad behaviors, and miserable fate.
God gave them the TOWRAT, as a book of guidance through their prophet Moses, and said to them not to rely on any other power other than that of their Lord, with whom they had made a covenant; but they ignored God's favor, and broke their promises and became thankless and disobedient! As a matter of fact, they were the offspring of those who were carried in the ARK, with NOAH(A.S). therefore they had every reason to be thankful and godly, if they would only think but they, followed their own passions and caprices, and plunged to ingratitude, idolatry, and sin. They even forgot the sincere devotion of NOAH, and their own godly and virtuous forefathers like; ABRAHAM, JACOB, ISAAX, MOSES and AARON.
Then in the next verse (NO.4) Allah reminds them of two dreadful historical events, which were the outcomes of their own deeds, and afflicted them for their sins and disobedience.
Perhaps the two occasions referred to, are the destruction of the Holy Temple by NEBUCHADNEZZAR, the king of Babylonia; when the Jews were carried into captivity; and when, GENERAL TITUS in 70 A.D destroyed the Temple by fire at the end of his fearful and bloody war with the Jews. For more information, Please refer to translator's note on page 518 volume 3, of this book.
As to the clause of the verse NO.5; "We raised against you servants of us" usually in Quran the word Servants applies to both, believers and unbelievers. Therefore it might be that they were called here the servants of God in the sense that they were means by which Allah poured His wrath upon the Jews.
In the next verse, No.6, it is said that Allah had His Mercy on the Jews and turned the tide to their benefit by aiding them with children, wealth, and making them numerous.
This might have been their return from captivity about 520 B.C and rebuilt of the Holy Temple. It was when a truthful religious leader of them called NEHEMIAH, could attract the attention and support of Persian King, Artaxerxes; who appointed him as the governor of Jerusalem, with all the needed support and supply. There in Jerusalem; with the help of Ezra, another Jewish high priest, he revived the Jewish community, and established the Biblical Law as the constitution.
The last verse implies that God is needless of our worship and prayer, or whatever we may do good deeds: -
"If you did well it is to your own benefit, and if you did evil it is to your own loss."
If anyone does a good deed it will result to his own benefit; Similarly evil deeds will bring evil result. God will never oppress his servants the least. He who does something good will have a good reward, tenfold of that, and he who does something bad will have an equally bad reward for that, and no more than that! We read in the D 6:160: -
"He who does good, will have ten time as much to his credit. But he who does evil will not be recompensed except the like of it, and they will not be oppressed."
Our Good Gracious God, rewards a good deed of man by a multiplication of ten times which is far above merits, but to the evil the punishment is no more than the evil, while the doors of repentance and pardon too is always open!
AND FIGHT IN THE WAY OF ALLAH WITH THOSE WHO FIGHT WITH YOU, AND DO NOT EXCEED THE LIMITS, BECAUSE ALLAH DOES NOT LOVE THOSE WHO EXCEED THE LIMITS.
EXPEL THEM FROM WHERE THEY EXPELLED YOU.
And, about the Holocaust....regardless of what the beady eyed Hitler wannabe thinks, it did happen.
A simple Google image search will give you all the evidence you'll need (unless you're a complete moron).

You are right. It did happen. But there are many legitimate questions people ask concerning the holocaust, and that does not automatically make them "beady-eyed Hitler wannabees".

It depends on what you consider evidence. The link you provided shows one person's personal story of what he had heard second-hand. Also, the pictures do show that people were killed, but were they Jews? The Nazi's killed many people, not just Jews.

I don't think the debate is about whether or not it happened, but rather if the scale of the events were embellished after the fact for political gain by the so-called "Zionists"
If I remember correctly, the original number reported was that 12 million Jews were killed, but after they realized that number was larger than the actual world population of Jewish people, they revised the number to 6 million, then to 4 million and then finally settled on the 6 million as a final count. Shouldn't that be investigated?
Originally posted by sheepslayer247
There is an entire theory surrounding this issue in that some claim the Zionists were in cahoots with the Nazi's in order to somehow benefit from the murder of the Jews.
Now I am not saying it is true, or that I believe it, but I find it unnecessary to call people morons if they decide to believe something other than what is popularly expected. That is, in fact, part of the conspiracy and propaganda that hinders a real investigation into the facts.
I'll take the word of the soldiers who were there and found the camps as my evidence, along with the photos they've taken.
I'm sure as soon as the last one hits the grave, history will be rewritten and make Hitler out to be the savior of mankind.
Of course we don't know the scale. It's hard to get accurate numbers from puffs of smoke and ashes. Hitler and his gang of merry men didn't exactly hide the fact they wanted Jews exterminated. How would it be investigated?
That makes about as much sense as blacks supporting the KKK and Neo-Nazis, to make the KKK and Neo-Nazis more powerful, to hang more blacks, so blacks can be victims, and get affirmative action 100 years later
AND WE MADE KNOWN TO THE ISRAELITES IN THE BOOK. THAT TWICE SHALL YOU DO CORRUPTION IN THE LAND AND YOU WILL TRANSGRESS A GREAT TRANSGRESSION.
EXPEL THEM FROM WHERE THEY EXPELLED YOU.

So what you are saying is that Iran's leader's statements, and the Quran, is not directed towards the Jewish religion as a whole, but directed at those that have occupied the land that was once under Islamic rule?
Am I reading that right?

O, CHILDREN OF ISRAEL! CALL TO MIND THE FAVOUR I HAVE BESTOWED UPON YOU, AND BE FAITHFUL TO YOUR COVENANT WITH ME; I WILL BE TRUE TO MINE, AND HAVE AWE OF ME. (BY PERFORMING YOUR DUTIES, AND OBSERVING THE COVENANT)

Hudhaifa was afraid of their (the people of Sha'm and Iraq) differences in the recitation of the Qur'an, so he said to Uthman, 'O Chief of the Believers! Save this nation before they differ about the Book (Qur'an) as Jews and the Christians did before'. So Uthman sent a message to Hafsa, saying, 'Send us the manuscripts of the Qur'an so that we may compile the Qur'anic materials in perfect copies and return the manuscripts to you'. Hafsa sent It to Uthman. Uthman then ordered Zaid ibn Thabit, Abdullah bin az-Zubair, Sa'id bin al-As, and Abdur-Rahman bin Harith bin Hisham to rewrite the manuscripts in perfect copies. Uthman said to the three Quraishi men, 'In case you disagree with Zaid bin Thabit on any point in the Qur'an, then write it in the dialect of the Quraish as the Qur'an was revealed in their tongue'. They did so, and when they had written many copies, Uthman returned the original manuscripts to Hafsa. Uthman sent to every Muslim province one copy of what they had copied, and ordered that all the other Qur'anic materials, whether written in fragmentary manuscripts or whole copies, be burnt.

1.Ahmadinejad is just making people think about what has been done in the Palestine , and that is why he has made much enemies for himself.
I don't back all the things he has done . But I know the whole problem started when he asked about Holocaust.
First , he denied it , but then , he corrected himself and asked : Supposed that Jew people were killed in the WW2 , it doesn't legitimate to give land of some other people to those oppressed people. And at last . Israel accepts no border.
2. The fact that there are Jews world wide who are not going to live in the Israel , approves that those people are not all the Jews. There are Jews who think different than those people invaded Israel.
For instance : 25,000 Jews live in Iran
3. According to the Quran ,
وَ قَضَیْنا إِلى بَنِی إِسْرائِیلَ فِی الْکِتابِ لَتُفْسِدُنَّ فِی الأَرْضِ مَرَّتَیْنِ وَ لَتَعْلُنَّ عُلُوّاً کَبِیراً (4)
