Valhall, I do not dwell merely in speculation, and you should know that.
First the Palestinians follow Sharia law under Islam, and Sharia law as stated by Muslim clerics, covers every aspect of day to day life. This law is immutable, it does not change with the times, what was law in the past when Islam was in its infancy, is law today also.
Now, what I mentioned about the Assyrian Christians being invaded by Arab Muslims is also a fact. It is based on history and not on speculation.
" One of the greatest Assyrian achievements of the fourth century was the founding of the first university in the world. The School of Nisibis had three departments: theology, philosophy and medicine, and became a magnet and center of intellectual development in the Middle East. The statutes of the School of Nisibis, which have been preserved, later became the model upon which the first Italian university was based.
When Arabs and Islam swept through the Middle East in 630 A.D., they encountered 600 years of Assyrian Christian civilization, with a rich heritage, a highly developed culture, and advanced learning institutions. It is this civilization which became the foundation of the Arab civilization.
But this great Assyrian Christian civilization would come to an end in 1300 A.D. The tax which the Arabs levied on Christians, simply for just being Christian, forced many Assyrians to convert to Islam to avoid the tax; this inexorably drained the community, so that by the time Timurlane the Mongol delivered the final blow in 1300 A.D.

Again, this is not what the historical record shows. But the historical record does show the opposite, that there was a concerted effort to increase, through emigration and colonization, the Jewish presence in the Arab-Palestinian lands in order to out-number the Arab population. You are speaking from a pre-conceived notion, not from fact. Read the historical record. Then come back and discuss this.
Speculation on what the ultimate "Muslim" idea of the world is does not fit into this discussion...
