Arafat: "terrorize your enemy"

arafat.jpeg

Arafat quotes the book of peace. From AP, with thanks to DC Watson:

In a televised speech from the West Bank town of Ramallah, Arafat urged his people to remain steadfast.

"Find what strength you have to terrorize your enemy and the enemy of God," he said, quoting the Quran. "And if they want peace, then let's have peace."

Having gotten himself or herself into the position of suggesting that the Qur'an says to terrorize people, the AP writer is ready to explain Islam to us:

Arafat, whom Israel accuses of supporting militant groups, did not appear to be calling for new attacks on Israel. The Quranic passage refers to the early Muslims' wars against pagans and is frequently invoked by Islamic leaders today to encourage strength in times of conflict.

"The Quranic passage refers to the early Muslims' wars against pagans"

Oops. Looks like someone forgot the fact that the Quran is considered valid and binding for all peoples at all times, as the final revelation of God. So the violent verses are more than a historical record, they are orders.

However, if you look at the Quran from a skeptical standpoint, it's quite mysterious indeed that a book for all peoples and all times does indeed contain historical facts which are totally irrelevant to modern life, scientific fallacies, and exhortations to obey and praise Muhammad.

Classic example of dhimmitude. What a fud.

Arafat another demon of allah and the devils bible the quran that tells these demons to kill everybody that don't worship or think the saame way they do. Isreal should take him out the sooner the better cause he's a demon leader. Arafat is scum of the earth. He's got to go.

The most tragic thing here is that if the arabs did not have oil , they would be another africa. Begging the Israelis to feed and give them some culture.

Ah yes, another directive from the beloved allah:the god or peace, love, and understanding.

Infidel! The proper way to refer to this man is "Nobel Peace Prize awardee Yasser Arafat."

Can someone tell me what surah that "terrorize your enemies" quote is from?

Thanks

Arafat is in the sad predicament of having to scratch the bottom, to provide hope for the hopeless and to encourage his people to resist violence directed against them as much as unleash it. Currently life must be intolerable for palestinias as well as israelis. I can not see how all of the above is any differet from the obligation of any other leader allowing for difference in culture and script. I'm sure that when the issue has been resolved (with the allocation of some land, sovereignity and freedom for palestinians)the muslim hoards will not want to overun our precious western homelands.

Thanks for the quotes guys!

Guys please take a look at these!

ARAFAT IS A TERRORIST. HE MUST BE NEUTRALIZED AND THE PALESTINIANS MUST BE CAGED ASAP WITH THE FENCE ISRAEL IS BUILDING.
AND THEN PEACE WILL BE ACHIVED.

The Muslim hoardes wanting to overrun our western homelands has nothing to do with them achieving their desires for the Palestinians.
There desire is to see a worldwide 'Kalifah'

Here are some of Muhammeds last (and therefore most authorative) words;

Hadith by Bukhari;
Volume 1, Book 2, Number 24:
"Allah's Apostle said: "I have been ordered (by Allah) to fight against the people until they testify that none has the right to be worshipped but Allah and that Muhammad is Allah's Apostle, and offer the prayers perfectly and give the obligatory charity, so if they perform a that, then they save their lives an property from me except for Islamic laws and then their reckoning (accounts) will be done by Allah."

Please Arxos, don't be deluded in to thinking the Jihadists will stop this quest should the Palestinians ever be given a country called 'Palestine' It is a totally seperate issue.

Also, while we're on the subject, the Muslims hatred of the Jews didn't begin in 1948.

It began in about 625ad when Muhammed 'received' these verses;

Qur’an 2:64
“But you [Jews] went back on your word and were lost losers. So become apes, despised and hated. We made an example out of you.”
Ishaq:240
“The Jews are a nation of liars.... The Jews are a treacherous, lying, and evil people.”
Qur’an 33:26
“Allah made the Jews leave their homes by terrorizing them so that you killed some and made many captive. And He made you inherit their lands, their homes, and their wealth. He gave you a country you had not traversed before.”
Ishaq:250
“The bestial transformation occurred when Allah turned Jews into apes, despised.”
Qur'an 59:14
“The Jews are devoid of sense. There is a grievous punishment awaiting them. Satan tells them not to believe so they will end up in Hell"

Please Arxos, open your eyes.

Arxos:

"I'm sure that when the issue has been resolved (with the allocation of some land, sovereignity and freedom for palestinians)the muslim hoards will not want to overun our precious western homelands."

If you want to see the land Arafat and his thugs want, look for a spot marked "Israel" on a map of the Middle East.

Of course, you won't find anyplace with that name on the maps used in "Palestinian" schools. On those, the same area is labeled "Palestine."

Not that the self-inflicted plight of the "Palestinians" has anything in the slightest to do with the current Jihad, of course.

Does anyone really think if Israel gave them everything they ask for, whatever land they ask for, that the terrorism would stop? Do the majority of arabs recognize the right of Israel to exist?
If Israel did not strike back when ever some idiot blew themselves up killing hundreds of Israeli citizens, would the bombing stop?
Answer to all...NO.

The jews exist, Israel exists, both will until the end of time...the sooner arabs get over this fact and accept it instead of swallowing the Jew hating garbage that some fool wrote many years ago the better. Time to think for yourselves...maybe mohammad hated Jews...why does that mean that all muslims have to.


In the last two years I have use a Islamic website to see for myself what the Quran states about Jews and Christians,just search for
www.al-islam.com on-line and pick Quran from the menu on the left. then use the search box to type in Christian,Jews,infidel,Jihad,enemies,and other
examples to prove the intent of Western Muslims.
The truth stand on its own,these verses appearing from your searches are in the Quran and
Muslims can cite whatever line they want to portray Islam as meaning "Peace and Love" .

NO ISLAM - KNOW PEACE

I'm not saying that the international community should cede gaza and the west bank to jihadists but to the palestinian people (a landless people who regardless of various historical aspects, koranic verses etc have a right to that geographic area...because they live there) who are being radicalized as a result of their prolonged ordeal. It is just not fair to simply expell or dislocate any population. After systematically exterminating native americans and appropriating their land, not to mention 200 years of nigger-bashing I find it unacceptable that such bigotry should be directed unashemedly, making no distinctions whatsoever. Maybe designating the 'other' and victimizing him is needed for re-asserting our identiy but that is not 'progress', do not let yourself be re-entrenched into rigid tribalisms. In this day and age such attitudes should be condemned and not promoted. It is up to us to lead the way, the more prosperous and educated societies(educated can be debated owing to our recent aquiescence to actions undertaken by our governments without our democratic consent).

Arxos:

"I'm not saying that the international community should cede gaza and the west bank to jihadists but to the palestinian people"

Perhaps it's escaped your notice, but the leaders of the "palestinian people" happen to be jihadists.

Are you actually naive enough to believe that all they want is Gaza and the West Bank? If so, I have some really nice beachfront property in Nevada you may be interested in...

"It is just not fair to simply expell or dislocate any population."

Does your opinion on that subject extend to the hundreds of thousands (millions?) of Christians and Jews who have been expelled or dislocated from various Islamic nations?

Arxos:

Before you accuse me of being some sort of conspiracy theorist or "Islamophobe" with regard to what the "Palestinians" actually want, you should probably read the full text of the article this thread refers to, specifically the last 4 paragraphs:

Although Palestinian leaders say they want an independent state in Gaza and the West Bank, several million refugees and their descendants hope to return to their properties inside Israel.

"Every Palestinian refugee looks forward to the day he will embrace his homeland," said Musa Zaqout, 66, of the Beach refugee camp in Gaza.

Israel opposes the return of Palestinian refugees, saying it would be demographic suicide. President Bush recently backed the Israeli position, saying refugees would have to settle in a future Palestinian state.

"There will be no concessions, no bargaining," Arafat said. "It is a sacred right for each refugee to return to his homeland."

Yea..yea and while we're at it lets ship all those niggers back to africa where they belong. I find it funny how people who've lived in multicultural environmnets have developed tolerance to a much higher degree than all those hicks from the sticks, blabbering xenophobes. Culture is an idea much more than genes or anything tangible. I have faith in our culture, in its versatility, vitality and ultimate stregth. Thus I do not fear invisible enemies or create/resurect bygone ghosts to assert my identity. I'm afraid that what I see here is a lot of insecurity, not dissimilar in the least to that of jihadists.

Arxos:

"I find it funny how people who've lived in multicultural environmnets have developed tolerance to a much higher degree than all those hicks from the sticks, blabbering xenophobes."

Personally, what I find funny is how a ignoramus like you thinks he can determine just where someone has or hasn't lived by reading posts on a website.

BTW--if you're a big fan of "multiculturalism," you probably wouldn't enjoy living under Sharia law.

Arxos:

"I do not fear invisible enemies or create/resurect bygone ghosts to assert my identity. I'm afraid that what I see here is a lot of insecurity, not dissimilar in the least to that of jihadists."

Funny...what I see here is someone (you) who has his head stuck so far in the sand that he's unable to understand simple statements made in plain English.

Arafat said in the very article this thread is supposed to be discussing that they won't stop until all the millions of "Palestinians" are allowed to move back into Israel.

It's a direct quote. Doesn't require much in the way of analysis.

Why do you refuse to see what's right in front of your nose?

Obviously, the beleaguered Secretary Rumsfeld fully grasps that the “War on Terror” is a classic existential conflict. In it, the USA, its Allies and associates face voracious, nihilistic antagonists, obdurately demanding no less than unconditional surrender, literally body and soul.

The West (whether portions of it wish to see it or not) is obliged to defend itself against these hordes of cruel barbarians, who vow never to stop their ferocious onslaught until they’ve gained their “predestined”, “perfect”, megacidal “Triumph” - by any perfidious methods they deem to serve their ambitions and to fill their rapacious appetite for “glorious” butchery.

Expressly under assault by such brutal, fanatical, mortal enemies (striving every hour to impose the sinister, totalitarian system as the one they seek to institute), this particular confrontation - by virtue of its planetary span - is finally not glibly about oil or religion, but sternly about ultimate, crude, global POWER (which incorporates both territory and ideology, and lots, lots more).

Ergo, today’s gruesome contest in the “War on Terror” is a “zero-sum game” - the aggressive, expansionist Islamo-fascist adversaries of the West have forced it to be so anyway, via their own sheer, impermeable, intrinsic absolutism. They repeat their rigid terms daily from pulpits, in print, on radio, TV and the internet - in their own windy pledges declaring that the hostilities will be to the death, carrying through generations, if required - a war of annihilation, winner takes all and the loser’s extinct.

To win the “War on Terror” - and Western victory in it is INDISPENSABLE - the countering of Islamo-fascism must be approached from a purely Machtspolitikal perspective: it’s nice to be loved instead of feared, but, concretely, it’s better to be feared than mutilated and dead.

we are not fighting "the war against terror"
we are fighitng against the perverse ideology of Isalmic wahhabism and other "CULTS" which has spread like wildfire in the last 40 years.
We are already seeing home bred wahhabists in all our western nations. Some ready to strike at the smallest "provocation".
Wahhabist who attended our universites and have IQs well over the norm.
Many more will surface in the following years.
What does that say about our Western educational systems ?
Yet our governments and newspapers still fail to confront the reality by refering to militants and the "war against terror".
Has this been brought on simply by years of "blinkered liberalism and muliculturism" since Vietnam ?
or is it likely not to have happened if we had not allowed the corrupt Saudis to spend billions on disseminating it thoughout the world ?

Is there a solution ?

Arxos, sorry, you have a lot of learning to do.

When you resort to using words like niggers and hicks to try and play a reader's emotions, you are using classic propaganda and brainwashing techniques. Congratulations. You attempt to associate the modern war against terrorism with something else you believe has consensus disapproval... in order to discredit our views. That's not logic, and it's not reality. That's emotional propaganda.

The reality is that virtually all of us in America indeed have developed in a 'multicultural environment.' Whereas you clearly believe that leftover "hicks from the sticks" are a source of intolerance in our nation, what is actually happening is increasing societal tension due to an ever-increasing lack of unity.

If you read history you will see that a _unified_ culture and secure borders are tantamount to the longevity of any civilization. Diversity and multiculturalism, on the other hand, have always been obstacles to societal longevity. Think Egypt. Think Rome. I'm sorry this idea is not "pretty" and conflicts with what the liberal media propaganda... but that's reality. Please hold your emotional reactiona and outlash! Multiculturalism and diversity are of course always welcomed for their contributions, including in my own home. But, Arxos, one sacrifices ones own identity, and thereby plans ones own destruction, when these concepts become objectives or priorities.

Tragically, by failing to grasp reality, and instead taking comfort in easier emotionalist view of the world, you will contribute to the cause of the enemy, and in doing so _become_ the enemy of your own culture and civilization.

Unfortunately I read in your words that you are too emotional for me to bother spending this time making an appeal to your senses.

So let me finish by appealing to what dictates your opinions. Would you fight for your family, Arxos? Are you strong enough to fight vehemently if your own family, God help you, is somehow threatened by grave evil? And what if grave evil sits far away planning the nuclear destruction of your family? Would you fight then?

arxos:

Have you read Robert Spencer's books?

You exhibit an incredible lack of knowledge about the fundamentals which are being discussed here vis-a-vis the basic tenets of Islam and what it advocates.

When the worldwide Caliphate is established thanks to help from people like you, will you convert, or will you die? For that is the choice that Islam insists you MUST face; they consider it inevitable.

Davo:

I agree that the “War on Terror”’s a gross misnomer, but I use it - in inverted commas - because it’s the most generally accepted term to convey the name (if not the black core) of the conflict in question, forced upon the West. It could well be “WWIII”, except that there’s an argument to be made for the Cold War having been that. Is it possibly “WWIV”?

Definitely, the “War on Terror” (or whatever better monicker’s found for it) is perniciously multifaceted, with mounting combat on the fighting-fronts, Iraq, Afghanistan, the West Bank & Gaza Strip, Chechnia, Kashmir, et al, plus - more subtly, insidiously - radical Islamist-derived infiltration, corruption, co-option, subterfuge, espionage, subversion, sabotage, and so forth, taking place in nearly every corner of the Earth, adapting modern technology for barbaric purposes.

Basically, the Islamo-fascists seek to destroy Israel through escalating terror and promoting diplomatic isolation and to debilitate the US primarily via subjecting it the attrition of “imperial over-extension”, while taking over Europe mainly from within, by demographic subsumation, inter alia, including through the malicious exploitation against it of the West’s inherent freedoms and through brazen lies and bald disinformation, sowing defeatism, alarmism and confusion.

They propose this eventually leads up to the chance for terminal, violent intefadas in the soft, undermined European cities and societies, picking them off one at a time, as opportune. They project a local, national, regional, continental and ultimately planetary conquest, spanning years, decades; taking no account at all of their own casualties. The rabid Islamists entitle those dying in their Jihad “martyrs”; Arafat himself calls “Palestinians” expiring in his “Revolution” “dust in the wind” - they worship death, the more the merrier.

As long as the West isn’t on a suitable war footing and it persists in its deranged phase-lock on the accommodation of the dar el-Islam’s “hearts & minds”, the best to be hoped for is to fare a stout defence against the Jihadis: fitting to counter the menace, as and when it pops up. But it’ll always be in reaction to the rabid Arabs’ and Moslems’ sorties, forever a step behind, lacking the initiative in the gathering struggle. At its rosiest measure, some positive degree of deterrence will somehow be imposed by the West on the Islamo-fascists, as the confrontation continues.

Who knows when the scales will drop from the eyes of millions of people in the West and its associates? What would it require for them to regain their rationality? Will it be in the nick of time - or, suicidally, too late? Comrade V. I. Lenin’s cogent query: “What is to be done?”

Quite like the cancellation of Yasir Arafat would probably act as a spectacular, transformative circuit-breaker vis-à-vis “Palestine”, so stemming the Jihad beyond would require a feasible means of dramatic circumvention. I’ve made my estimations in earlier posts.

Nope, not related to anyone - a lone wolf.

you indeed write beautifully and with moral clarity.
it is a pleasure to read your posts!
The soft bellied EU states are indeed the ones that are ripe for plucking from the inside in Trojan Horse manner and of course this is aleady happening.
The deception that the destruction of Israel is the panacea that will end Jihadism agaist the west has been played by EU NATIONS to the hilt for the last half century or so.
Yet time and again the Islamists, since the times of Al husseini, have stated always that they hate western civilisation even more that the Jews.
IS it not truer to say tha Israel is hated because it is precisely a WESTERN ENCLAVE in "holy arabian lands" than because it is a quasi Jewish state ?
IS not the war against ISrael simply part of the war against the west ?

Davo:

Many thanks!

Of course the Islamo-fascists' battles against Israel and against the US are one and the same - after all, aren't they classed as the "Small" and the "Great" Satans by their ultra-barbarous arch-enemies?

Without America, Israel'd be more than hard-pressed to defend itself nowadays. The very existence of Israel constitutes a grave offence, an intolerable insult and an insufferable humiliation to the dar el-Islam - daily repudiating the claims of Islamic superiority, reminding Moslems, every hour - via its sheer persistance - of their dogmas' gross imperfections, which aren't supposed to be there!

It strikes them as a totally UNNATURAL phenomenon in their cosmos, a perversion so egregious that its eradication's a "sacred mission", necessary to restore the balance of the universe.

At its first opportunity, the EU plans to sacrifice Israel to the "Palestinians", Arabs and Moslems (as the French and British appeasers sold out democratic Czechoslovakia to Nazism at Munich in 1938), hoping that their treacherous deed will get the dar el-Islam's heat off them forever, diverting it to the Americans alone.

Such fools - unable even to learn from their own, tragic record. The best they'll attain is a curt stay of execution, having robbed themselves of the vital assistance of by far the most competent and experienced party in the region at countering the threat of Islam-fascism - Israel.

YES i agree 100% with that.
There seems to have been a time in the first ten or so of israel's existence when the french for example were not rabidly anti Israel.
EG the Dassault company had supplied mirages and frigates and the French admired the socialist kibbutzes of Israel.
This in a short space of time turned 180 degrees and i have always wondered why.
We now have reached such a point that it is complimentary to refer to much of the european media as appeasers or dhimies to Islam.
They have actually become islamist activists and are acting as fifth columnists for the Islamofascists.
Melanie Philips blames the BBC for brainwashing the British to the extent thAt they are unable to realise that they are under attack.
in the last ww the actions of piers morgan would have been regarded as treasonable and he would have been arrested.

Back to Arafat -

“Mr Duplicity”, the repulsive Yasir Arafat, was born in Cairo or Jerusalem and was kicked out of Egypt in the 1950s for his connivance in the violent conspiracies of the Islamic Brotherhood, setting up his el-Fatah gang in Kuwait in 1960. He calculated that he could make a career out of terrorism as, following the 1956 Suez Campaign, Egyptian Military Intelligence was looking for a proxy, through whom to continue its attacks on Israel from Egyptian-re-occupied Gaza.

By 1964, Arafat had fabricated “Palestinian Nationalism”, virtually out of thin air, and that year he drove the formal establishment of the “Palestine Liberation Organization”, to be its Front. He proffered the PLO to Egypt’s dictator, Colonel Nasser, who adopted it and its “Rais”, Mr Arafat, promptly cementing him in place as its boss, soon introducing the groupi to his new friends, the Soviets, who warmly took it, and Arafat, under the wing of the KGB.

Please be aware that the “Palestine” which Arafat and Nasser sought in 1964 to “liberate” was the State of Israel INSIDE the “Green Line” (the 1949 armistice-line). Not till three years after, in 1967, did Israel come to capture - from Egypt and Jordan - the Gaza Strip, the West Bank and east Jerusalem: the “Palestine” that the PLO claims that it wants control over now.

Of course, the megalomaniacal Arafat wishes for it ALL: the territory of this latter “Palestine”, plus every square inch of that of pre-’67 Israel and all of Jordan (2/3 of whose population is of “Palestinian” descent) to boot - he hungers for the total area that once previously comprised the former “Mandate of Palestine”, as first, in 1920, entrusted to Britain by the League of Nations.

Does this “vision” indeed further embrace the Golan Heights, taken by Israel from Syria in ’67, but in 1923 ceded - high-handedly, bilaterally - from the British Mandate of Palestine over to France’s Mandate of Syria (by rumour, for a convoy of fine champagne)?

By the mid-1970s, Arafat had been able to take over large portions of the Kingdom of Jordan, instituting a parallel, criminal government there, which grew to become such a serious challenge to the Hashemite monarchy that King Hussein, at length, expelled him and his gunmen from the realm, killing at least 10,000 “Palestinians” in the evictions and purges.

Arafat and his PLO lodged next in Lebanon, where they again forged a criminal, terrorist “state within a state”, instigating a calamitous decade of civil wars. Once more they were finally driven out, this time to Tunis in 1983. There, afresh, they commenced to contrive a terrorist entity.

In 1991, in a US grovel to the Arabs and Moslems for their acquiescence in the Kuwait War, the Madrid Conference was convened and the Oslo “Peace”-Process kicked off; by 1994, Arafat and the PLO were back in Gaza and the West Bank, returning with relish to do the things they know best - building up the infrastructure of a terrorist state and lavishly lining their pockets.

Never for even a single second honouring the letter or the spirit of Oslo, for seven years of uninterrupted murders (creating hundreds of “Victims of Peace”), nonetheless, in July 2000, “el-Rais” deigned to attend the Summit which US President Bill Clinton convened at Camp David, where Israel’s daring PM, Ehud Barak, tendered unprecedented concessions to an obdurate Yasir Arafat, in exchange for a proper, sincere peace (submitting more, in vain, until December).

Miffed, offended that he wasn’t cheerfully handed his most maximal demands, accompanied by profoundest apologies, bounteous compensation and a lush bonus, the tempermental “el-Rais” rejected Barak’s and Clinton’s offers in a huff. It was manifest then that he had not come to the table as a bona fide negotiator: his interest wasn’t in peace - he’d bothered to turn up at the talks solely for the sake of gearing up his latest propaganda-pitch to Western audiences, prior to the terrorism he was already resharpening. Two months later, he callously ignited the wild “el-Aqsa Intefada”, which has been raging for 3-1/2 years of atavistic, Arab ultra-violence.

To Yasir Arafat’s sick mind (and definitely not his alone), there’s no “Baraqa” in any treaty signed in ink - “Honour” and “Glory” are reserved for instruments sealed exclusively in blood.

Arafat’s visceral terror-offensive is being waged in a tight collusion between his “secularist”, fascist, Arab Socialist PLO factions and the crazed “holy warriors” of Hamas, Jihad Islami, Hezbollah and el-Qaeda surrogates, all working “productively” together under the ægis of the “Palestinian National & Islamic Front”, functioning as a “Combined Forces High-Command”.

This organ, though physically decentralized, serves additionally as the information-hub for the tactical, intelligence and logistic echelons, across the board, opening up means of access, and thereby is often the essential enabler in the execution of deadly joint operations. Yasir Arafat, grandfather of modern terrorism, encircled in his Muqata, does barely anything directly; but he sits at the top of the “Palestinians”’ terrorist edifice, “inspiring” the mayhem every minute.

When the Jihad Islami butchers declined to return Israeli soldiers’ body-parts earlier this week, a quiet word from “el-Rais” got them all handed back (via Egyptian mediators). It’s not that this monster was solicitous of the remains’ appointed burial, but he had a keen eye to the adverse impact of the media-image of “Palestinians” hanging onto their macabre “trophies” too long.

This is Arafat’s shifty way of reminding everyone of his personal power, showing that he’s NOT “irrelevant” (thereby getting back at Israeli PM Sharon, whom he detests), while simultaneously pleading to a fauning “international community” that he can do NOTHING in order to, say, advance the Quartet’s “Road-Map”, because he possesses no executive powers whatever - they were “oh so rudely, stripped from me by the odious Jews”, he repeats ad nauseum.

Arafat frequently complains about Israel’s non-compliance with UN dicta, but the salient point is that had the Arabs not collectively, categorically refused the original, 1948 UN Resolution that brought Israel into being, there’d have been no need for the passage of any others subsequently.

You forget some other important makers of Arafat: the Soviet KGB and East German Stasi. Further, Arafat was elected head of the "Palestinian" people not by the people in Ramallah and Nablus, but by the UN General Assembly back when it was determined to flip the bird at the USA.

But, I wouldn't worry too much. Europe will go down, sure enough. But next will be a war between China and Islam (it's already begun, by the way). And if the pacification of China's Muslim West (to which the Middle East and even Pakistan were always blind) is any model, the conflict will end with a swath of destruction from the Tian Shan to the Nile, with the PLA celebrating its victory by a meal by barbecuing pork in front of the Ka'aba itself.
