These days, I think a kind a federative state with the whole territory united but comprising three confessional states with each its deciding body (Jewish Knesset and two Palestinian Parliaments, a Christian and a Moslem one) might be a good idea.<br /><br />Jan Guillou is of course - as usual - pushing the virtues of Moslem Palestinians, in my experience they have their very lovable sides, when not picking on Christian "fellow Palestinians" and he is politically more or less PLO. I thought Hamas had good ideas, but flawed (what can one expect from non-Christians!), back when Ahmed Yassin was doing the ruling of them, after his death, they suck worse than he did. His successor is basically dreaming of a Muslim world conquest.<br /><br />So, when you give a criticism of the novel trilogy, not forgetting theological points, I will of course see if I shall reconsider the decision not to read Jan Guillou.Hans Georg Lundahlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01055583255516264955noreply@blogger.com
