Bread NEWS 09 - 'Improving 'Muslim-Jewish' Relations - Is it Possible?' & 'When Was the Bible Really Written?'

By decoding the inscription on a 3,000-year-old piece of pottery, an Israeli professor has concluded that parts of the bible were written hundreds of years earlier than suspected.   The pottery shard was discovered at excavations at Khirbet Qeiyafa near the Elah Valley in Israel -- about 18 miles west of Jerusalem.  Carbon-dating places it in the 10th century BC, making the shard about 1,000 years older than the Dead Sea scrolls.   ------------------------- Can the Taliban turn to be Israel-Lovers?  Are the Pathan/Pashtun tribes really one of the lost tribes of Israel?  Can we all be friends?    Dr. Navras Jaat Aafreedi, is a Researcher in Indo-Judaic Studies and Medieval & Modern Indian History with a focus on Pathans/Pakhtuns/Pashtuns, and a Member of the Advisory Team on The Ten Lost Tribes Challenge: "Expeditions of Discovery".   Dr. Aafreedi says he was born a Muslim, but describes himself today as a Human Secularist with a deep belief in G-d. He spent a year in Israel and came away with a love and appreciation for the Jewish nation.    He says that there are perhaps forty million Pathans alive today who generally believe that they descended from the Lost Tribes of Israel calling themselves 'Bani Israel' (B'nei Yisrael/children of Israel).
