Abstract
This chapter explores the theoretical and practical implications of the concept of Diversity in Islam by examining the extent of the realization of the idea of “diversity” by Muslims in Israel. It seeks to determine the extent to which it is reflected within the Palestinian Arab society as well as in the relationship of the Muslims with the Israeli state and the Jewish people, generally and on an individual level. It examines the causes for the distrust on which relations between the Muslims and Israel state are based. It reveals that the distrust derives from their sense that their treatment by the Israeli state results in their being seriously disadvantaged to the extent that they have the status of second-class citizens if not worse. This s second-class citizen and disadvantaged status is caused by Israeli state policies that discriminate against Muslims.
