    It becomes evident if you open a book, and use the Ctrl F combination and search for zion.

    Early Zionism was an ideology of Jewish people to inherit what they believe is their land, similarly how modern Palestinians strive for freedom and believe in their land. Jewish people back then were under the Muslim rule and it was their movement for freedom, how is it not great or any different from any other freedom-seeking movements?

    Actually Zionism was started by Theodor Herzl who many say that he was not jewish but actually atheist

    Note This is from Yahoo answers and i found this like a year ago so i am not sure if this is best way to this

    https//answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20090112145039AASaL1e

    Yes. Theodor Herzl was a self proclaimed atheist. In fact, he hated Judaism and religious Jews. Below is a list of his quotes along with information on him

    WORDS OF Theodor Hertzel (the father of zionism) and Other Zionist Leaders

    Theodor HertzlThe term "Zionism" was first introduced in 1893 by Nathan Birmbaum, but Theodor Hertzel, an Austrian Jew born to a prosperous, emancipated Budapest family, is recognized as the founder of the Zionist idealogy when he published his book in 1896, "The Jewish State", where he declared that the cure for anti-semitism was the establishment of a Jewish state. As he saw it, the best place to establish this state was in Palestine.

    While Hertzel claimed that the establishment of a "Jewish" state would cure anti-Semitism, he also promoted anti-Semitism to further his cause.

    Quotes from Hertzel and other Zionists demonstrate their philosophy and the lengths to which they are willing to go to accomplish their goals

    In the diary of Hertzel, page 14, he writes a way to solve the problem of anti-Semitism was to speak to the head priest of Vienna to get an appointment with the Pope, to make a mass conversion of all the Jews of Austria to Catholicism. He continues "It should be done on a Sunday, in the middle of the day, with music, and pride, publicly. We are the last generation that held on to the faith of our for-fathers. The conversion would be in St. Stephen's Cathedral." (How could you honor a Jew that wanted to abolish Judaism?)
    In the bi-weekly diary, "Temurah", no.2, pg. 12-13, "I didn't circumsize my son Hans, and this will bring the Geula closer."
    Ibid. "Simple goyim are better than Rabbis, and the highest are the goyish priests."
    In his article "Deutche Tsytung newspaper" Hertzel writes "The Jews make countries fight each other and when they want, make peace. But whatever happens, they get rich from this." (Hitler said this also).
    Diary, page 16 "Antisemitism helps to build this kind of jew, Education that will bring to assimilation."
    Diary, page 68 "An idea rose on my heart to bring on anti-Semitism and to obliterate Jewish wealth.
    In the book "Hertzel", this is a quote "I bless every jew that converts to Christianity and my son, the sooner the better, to save him from anti-Semitism.
    After the Dreyfus affair, Hertzel saw the engraned jew hatred and that the goyim would not accept the jews with open arms, then he came up with Zionism, after being convinced by the British goyim on the land of Israel. He himself originally wanted other lands, one of them being Argentina.
    In his book, "Altnoyland", "its understood that I have to remember (or mention) to discard negative Jewish things, like the Yiddish language and observing mitzvos."
    Doctor Amnun Raz Kavkotzikin -- historian at the University of Ben Gurion says "The country of Hertzel is a western European anti-eastern (Sephardic) and anti-religious."
    Chaim Chassas, in the newspaper of the Zionist's, Ha'Arutz, 1943, "Zionism and Judaismm is not one thing but two different things. And of course two contradicting one another. Zionism starts at the place where Judaism is destroyed...one thing is certain, Zionism is not a continuation or healing of wounded Judaism, but rather an uprooting."
    Doctor Tom Shagav, historian and newspaper writer, "Zionism saw itself as competition as to religion, to define a jew without torah. A Zionist could be a jew without any faith, even a Kofer."
    Doctor Faul Shaul Landau, the personal secretary of Hertzel, saw to it that all of Hertzel's writings were published against the will of the other Zionists who feared the open anti-Semitic element of his writings.
    Zev Japotinsky in his article "Outside the camp", in the newspaper "Chadashot HaAretz" 22/10/1919 "In the national home we will announce that those Jews who have on themselves the rust of Gulles, and deny to shave off their beards and payos will be 2nd class citizens and will not have the right to vote."
    Ben Gurion, in his book "Yehudi ve' od", "The disapora is ending and everyone is coming, this still does not make a nation but a mixed multitude and dust of man, without a language and education, without roots. To change dust of man to a cultured nation is not an easy job."
    Ben Gurion "If I could save all the children of Germany by bringing them to England and only half to Israel, I would choose the second."
    Yoel Bronde/Eichman offered him a deal to save a million jews for money and the Sochnute decided not to, and they were murdered.
    Wusshishkin, head of the Jewish National Fund in the 1920's (there is a street named after him in Jerusalem), "What's the difference between Jews getting killed in the diaspora and the land of israel? They are sacrifices of a dying nation. There was no purpose in their death, just like there was no purpose in their life. Not so with the sacrifices in our land, we look at them with pride."
    Yitzchak Greenbaum, Zionist responsible for

      Does term 'national' movement tells you something? You can be culturally Jewish yet atheistic in ideology, you can be culturally from a Muslim family yet agnostic. Cultural and religious terminology often interrelate if we speak of 'cultural background'.

      I never said Zionism is a religious ideology, I said it is cultural/national movement of the Jewish people, who used the term and history of banu Yisraely as their primary narrative and medium. I am not saying it is not falsified, any history is deeply rooted under the garbage of falsifications, but simply refering to the 'zionists' to refute their claim is non-sense.

        About that, there is no muslim "culture" in the Quran. And cultural Jew? I am not sure if Jew is a ethnicity. Also i never claimed you said Zionism is a religious ideology. Unfortunately many been lied to by Zionists thinking that Zionism is Judaism.

          Don't you sense the irony? There is NO Jewish culture in the Bible either, and no 'zionist' culture in the ancient times, yet he refers to it everytime just to point out the 'zionist conspiracy'. A Jew can be considered ethnical, and it is considered ethical similarly as saying 'the countries with Muslim majority' or 'the Muslim countries', although the term Huda (&#1583 has nothing to do with it.

            Actually Zionist use Hebrew as culture (if i got that right) and it is a ethnicity mentioned in the Bible (again if i got that right)

                Biblical Hebrew is as fabricated as saying is a Jew by religion or is Christian, there is no ethnicity in banu Yisraely either. If I told you that you are potentially a member of banu Yisraely you would not believe me but then you are not a muslemeen either.

                Just like Sunni or Shia use their Islam both as culture and as religion, especially natively Muslims, born in Muslim families etc.

                          It depends on what you mean by term muslemeen and banu Yisraely.

                              Well muslimeen is peacemaker which is i base it from the arabic root Siin-Miim-Lam. As for Bani Isra'il that i can't give a detailed answer but all i can it is a family tribe.

                                  Siin-Lam-Miim has A4's of meanings and is also connected to Alif-Miin-Nun (Amen), which means firm, established, safe, sound. What exactly makes it 'peacemaking' for you in terms of dealing harsh with disbelivers? (2191)

                                  Family tribe? When was this family/clan around and what makes it so improtant for the Quran to mention it hundreds of times?

                                    Well honestly you did said that you had no interest of reading of the e-books. Also you objectively assumed (correct me if i am wrong & apologizes if i sound rude) that the author has traditional background for using (P) on the names like Yusuf & Muhammad.

                                      No, I already elaborated on the part where I said that "he adhers to the traditional research background", so you simply repeat the same conclusion you made before. But yes, he does adher to tradition for doing so.

                                      Me reading or not the book has nothing to do with critical thinkin, especially after I asked you to bring specific pages where author possibly yet unlikely proves me what is personally interesting to me, which means I am always ready for alternative opinion, but so far his work has been worthless to me.

                                        And kill them wherever you encounter them, and expel them from where they expelled you, and know that persecution is worse than being killed. And do not fight them at the Restricted Temple unless they fight you in it; if they fight you then fight them, thus is the recompense of the rejecters.

                                        And if they cease, then God is Forgiving, Merciful.

                                        And fight them so there is no more persecution, and so that the system is for God. If they cease, then there will be no aggression except against the wicked.

                                        The restricted month may be met within the restricted month, and what is unlawful may be met with retaliation. Whoever attacks you, then you shall attack him the same as he attacked you; and be aware of God, and know that God is with the righteous.

                                        And spend in the cause of God, but do not throw your resources to disaster. And do good, for God loves those who do good.

                                        I hope this clears things. Salam/Peace dear brother group

                                          No, I already elaborated on the part where I said that "he adhers to the traditional research background", so you simply repeat the same conclusion you made before. But yes, he does adher to tradition for doing so.

                                          Me reading or not the book has nothing to do with critical thinkin, especially after I asked you to bring specific pages where author possibly yet unlikely proves me what is personally interesting to me, which means I am always ready for alternative opinion, but so far his work has been worthless to me.

                                          Problem is i don't remember the pages, as i said it's has been awhile since i read Book 1, i am currently reading Book 2 Road to The Patriarch.
