  Article 21- Israel  
21.1 The history of sorrow  
  The history of the existence of this nation has been a history of great sorrow for many of the faithful of Islam. Sorrow for the thousands that have died, the innocent, the children. Died for seeking to defend the faith. Died for merely living in harms way.
 
  Such is the sorrow on all sides that enough fuel remains for a thousand more years of murder, torture and evil deeds. Yet we see the salvation and the wisdom of Allah shine through the darkness and shine a light on the idea of a One Jerusalem here on Earth.
 
  We give praise to the almighty for this great vision of hope for all the faithful. That by peaceful means, by honorable sacrifice the people of Israel shall relinquish control of the city of Jerusalem to enable it to become its own sovereign state and territory.  
21.2 Recognition and respect of the sovereign state of Israel  
  To stand defiant in the hope that an adversary will lay down their arms first is childish ignorance. Allah the wise and the compassionate shows us the new path, the new covenant. That Islam shall be a faith of enlightenment. That Islam shall be a faith of compassion.
 
  And being so, all true followers of Islam shall be only those that both recognize and respect the sovereign state of Israel. That not one citizen of Israel shall be harmed in the name of Allah. That even if Israel in her defiance of this document chooses to hold Jerusalem by force, we shall not strike. Even if the state of Israel chooses to mock us for the hope of One Jerusalem we will not yield. For whether it be one life time or one hundred lifetimes, it shall be the single goal of all true followers of Islam that Jerusalem be set free as its own jewel, its own sovereign state for all humanity.
