How Can There Be Peace In MIddle East? - talk | baltimoresun.com
I've been a dreamer, it seems.
Most Muslims cannot understand the Qur'an, they can only understand translations.
So I would love to know who are the people who can understand the oldest Qur'an?
Oh My!!

Arabic script
Origin
The Arabic script evolved from the Nabataean Aramaic script.
It has been used since the 4th century AD, but the earliest document, an inscription in Arabic, Syriac and Greek, dates from 512 AD.
The Aramaic language has fewer consonants than Arabic, so during the 7th century new Arabic letters were created by adding dots to existing letters in order to avoid ambiguities.
Further diacritics indicating short vowels were introduced, but are only generally used to ensure the Qur'an was read aloud without mistakes.
There are two main types of written Arabic:
Classical Arabic - the language of the Qur'an and classical literature.
It differs from Modern Standard Arabic mainly in style and vocabulary, some of which is archaic.
All Muslims are expected to recite the Qur'an in the original language, however many rely on translations in order to understand the text.
Modern Standard Arabic - the universal language of the Arabic-speaking world which is understood by all Arabic speakers.
It is the language of the vast majority of written material and of formal TV shows, lectures, etc.
Each Arabic speaking country or region also has its own variety of colloquial spoken Arabic.
These colloquial varieties of Arabic appear in written form in some poetry, cartoons and comics, plays and personal letters.
There are also translations of the bible into most varieties of colloquial Arabic.
Arabic has also been written with the Hebrew, Syriac and Latin scripts.
There are over 30 different varieties of colloquial Arabic which include:
Egyptian - spoken by about 50 million people in Egypt and perhaps the most widely understood variety, thanks to the popularity of Egyptian-made films and TV shows
Algerian - spoken by about 22 million people in Algeria
Moroccan/Maghrebi - spoken in Morocco by about 19.5 million people
Sudanese - spoken in Sudan by about 19 million people
Saidi - spoken by about 19 million people in Egypt
North Levantine - spoken in Lebanon and Syria by about 15 million people
Mesopotamian - spoken by about 14 million people in Iraq, Iran and Syria
Najdi - spoken in Saudi Arabia, Iraq, Jordan and Syria by about 10 million people

I'm sorry I did not read your post but in answer to your your question "How Can There Be Peace In MIddle East?" The answer is there can't be, there never will be all the time that the cuckoo is in the nest.

Considering none of us live there it's probably none of our business.
The bickering is Old Testament and only our hubris could trick us into thinking we can bring peace where none seems wanted.

You can't have peace when people blindly follow Religion and its leaders.

In addition, which form of Arabic is the military teaching their employees?
No matter which they choose, it'll depend on which Muslim country becomes the dominant one.
Like David says, check back in 3 or 4 years I think there's more profit in reading prophets in Hebrew.
You get all the Qur'an translations covered.

Um, alrighty.
Segue: There won't ever be true peace in the middle east because ~for Rapture believers~ that is the true sign of the end.
But the more realistic version is No, because they will forever fight over daddy having an affair and allegedly showing favoritism to his mistress son (Ishmael) over his wife son (Isaac).
Genetically speaking, the Muslims are descendants of Ishmael and the Jews are descendants of Isaac - half-brothers who both share Abraham as a father, and these two factions will bicker until ...
The end of time.

As long as Israel is harrassed it will never be quiet.
Just leave them alone and go about your own business.
