I've been arguing that Moses should be an Egyptian for years.... No luck yet.

you know, when i read this, i wonder if philistines are muslim, considering philistie is a muslim sect, or at least i am pretty sure they are, cause (well, i have a muslim friend on a online game, don't ask (me and him don't talk alot anymore)) they don't like jews cause of the reason that they "took" over philistie. but they do not beleive in david (i know this sounds stupid considering david was the one who conquered over philistie) and... thats about it..
i said nothing about philistines, i said stuff about muslims. i said, I wonder if philistines are muslim. i dont recall saying anything about them being muslim.
Interesting, wrong, but interesting. Still philistines were there BEFORE the Israelites wandered into the desert.

I thought they were a horde of basically pirates (or barbarians) in the East (near Crete and Greece) that came to Israel during the time of the Judges and Samuel....been too long since I took a biblical history course...
the only poeple who hate and hated the isrealites are muslims
Several reasons, probably the most obvious being the fact the Abraham's chosen was Issac (of the Israelites) and not Ishmael (who is traditionally the forefather of the Muslim nation).Also, it is interesting that Abimelech was a Philistine, as is Philcol his commander...but the Philistines are most noted for their armies during the age of Iron....which if I remember correctly falls after the Exodus which was the age of Bronze...and I just realized that's a different abimelech than the one in Redemption, who was in Judges.
. If memory serves the muslim nation came from Ishmael (ya know, Hagar's son, the one Sarah BANISHED after making her sleep with Abram?) so that is the reason to hate the Jewish nation.

Also, were the muslims in philistie at that time?They would have to be otherwise muslims wouldn't be mad at the jews for taking it back over.

wallzoftxttime!Your thinking of Palestinians not Philistines. Philistines were an ancient seafaring people who attacked Egypt around 2000 BC and weakened their global empire (which is why the Hittites then moved into Canaan). The Hittites stagnated and a couple hundred years later, the Philistines attacked Canaan and instead of simply raiding, as they had in Egypt, they chose to settle the area. By the time Israel showed up another 200 years later, the Philistines had grown into a technologically advanced civilzation that dominated Israel for awhile. These two civilizations were constantly at war over Canaan. Israel finally defeated Philistia around King David's time.Meanwhile, Islam was founded in 500 AD, nearly 1500 years after David defeated the Philistines. Mohammed traced Allah (or God)'s chosen line through Ishmael, not Isaac. The current Palestinians are descendants of Ishmael. They are muslim. Because of this, they view today's Jews as usurpers of their land and inheritance. As such, they're at war. Islam states that all the Biblical promises of inheritance and land were made to Ishmael, not Isaac, and so, Muslims hate Jews because they see them as cheating Muslims out of their rights.
