Fundamental Islamists believe Israel won in '67 cos they had God on their side!
Just had one of my lectures on the Middle East politics and my lecturer said something really interesting (well, I thought so anyway!)
Apparently, some of the founders of political Islam (Sharia law etc) say that Israel won the Six Day war because they were more truer to their religion than the Arabs were (at that time the Arab nations adhered to the socialist secular ideology) and Israel won as a result (either the Israelis were rewarded by God or the Arabs were punished for following secularism)
One advocate of this is Sayyid Qutb who is actually the 'grandfather' of political Islam and is the man believed to have inspired bin Laden
Who is Qutb?
Well, I thought this was an interesting little fact anyway!
