Islamic Jihad: Palestinian discord due to a "slow down" against Israel

Israel: damned either which way. So now, all the civil strife between Hamas and Fatah is due to those organizations losing sight of the real enemy, Israel. Makes sense -- especially since this sort of thing has plenty of precedents in Islamic history. Take the Islamic conquests, for example. Immediately after Muhammad's death (632), most of the Arab tribes tried to break away from Muslim authority, which led to the Ridda Wars (or "Apostasy Wars"), dominating the first caliph, Abu Bakr's, short reign (632-634). These civil wars were extremely bloody; tens of thousands of apostates were slain. Second caliph Omar, upon ascension, knew that the best way to put an end to the civil strife was to direct the Arabs' collective bellicosity to other peoples -- all in the name of jihad -- setting off the Islamic conquests. Ironically, one of the very first infidel regions to be conquered was Jerusalem. Thus today, since Muslims are losing focus on Israel, they fight and kill each other in Palestine -- or at least that's Islamic Jihad's take on it.

"Islamic Jihad Movement considers a slow down against Israel as leading to difficulties for the Palestinian people," from Al-Summaria, October 25 (my translation):

During the ceremony of the 31st anniversary of the assassination of the the Islamic Jihad Movement's founder, Fathi al-Shiqaqi, the current leader, Nafidh Azzam, considers a slowing down [of operations] against Israel as creating only difficulties for the Palestinian people's jihad, leading to only an increase in division and internal strife. He called on the Palestinian president Mahmoud Abbas to halt negotiations with the Hebrew state. Similarly, Azzam demanded a halt to political arrests between Fatah and Hamas, stressing the need to support a reconciliation and end the division, easing the way for dialogue.

Well I was told that the Roman Empire stayed strong as long as it kept finding new peoples and lands to conquer. And that a shark will die if it stops swimming for long.
Similarly I realized that Islam did originally thrive and grow as long as it could offer its' followers what they wanted: the thrill of battle, the material rewards or martyrdom that ensued, and the companionship of partners-in-crime. Hence the need for new horizons after the conquest of Arabia and the bloody apostasy wars. It all fits with our growing awareness so far of how this gang grew so fast and wide.
But what a hideous and ruthless cult this is when the misinformation is stripped away and the ugly truth revealed.
More information on the apostasy wars would be welcome.

Let them butcher each other in a hideous bloodbath. Sounds like a internal Muslim conflict, and after all...their business is their own in this case.

I have no objection to them butchering each other, but this is beyond the pale

If I were an oil sheik (living on wealth I had nothing to do with creating or acquiring) surrounded on all sides by bellicose poor people, you can bet that I would want them thinking that their troubles were somebody else's fault.

And who better than the koranically sanctioned, officially designated bad guys of the mohammedan block, the Joooooooz.

There's nothing subtle going on here.

============

Apart from all that, it is very clear that mohammedanism inculcates a combative and destructive frame of mind in a huge portion of its adherent population.

They certainly aren't the first human population to do that -- at least not with respect to combativeness. We have documentation on the Spartans, various American Indian tribes and others around the world.

But the mohammedans might be holding first place for random destructiveness.

In any case, there is always plenty of aggression left over to be directed at the thug next door, especially if there has been a momentary lull in hostilities with outsiders.

A completely mohammedan world would be a pandemonium of suffering, blood and war.

The one thing that unites Muslims is their hatred of infidels. Sadly, liberals and dhimmis believe that such hatred can be ameliorated through good-will. In fact, it can be ameliorated, but only through capitulation.

CORN
THE SO CALLED LIBERALS ARE NOT LIBERALS THERE FACISTS USEING THE MUSLIMS TO DESTROY THE WEST THINKING AFTER THEN CAN CONTROL ALL THERE NOT THAT INNOCENT.

SPCBAT,

I think the hard Left is intent on destroying the West...I think the Liberals are just dupes who - in their ignorance - have bought into the multicultural ethos lock, stock and barrel.

That's why, while I recognize the hard Left and Islam as avowed enemies of human freedom, my greatest contempt is reserved for liberals, who know not what they do.

InfidelK9 a little off subject? what in allah-snackbar does horse fighting have to do with this topic?

The Stallions are Hamas and Fatah. The Mare, Israel. The Pen are their Muslim Neighbors. The Gunfire is just what passes for normal life.

Another episode of the Family Feud.

My brother and his son just got back from a trip to Israel, they also took a side trip to Jordan. Anyway taxi drivers in Israel all seem to be Arabs, and once they found out my brother and his son were Canadians, they opened up and the one taxi driver went ballistic saying that Israel will be destroyed in five years. My brother asked why five years, the taxi driver said it takes time to organize within Israel. Then my brother talked to an older lady on the plane from Canada. She is Jewish, and very involved lady works for various papers, said how the J.Post did not accurately portray Arabs right, and blah blah about how good NYT is, then said how they need to sit down and make peace with the Arabs, and how Israeli treat badly the Arabs. She asked my brother if he were voting in Israel who would he vote for, he said Benjamin Netanyahu and she blanched at that. He then proceded to tell her that you cannot appease muslims nor believe they think like her in wanting peace with Israel intact. And the final straw was when he told her that appeasement of a dictator last century produced millions killed by Hitler. Well it was a quiet plane ride after that. There was a very famous Cdn book called Two Solitudes, that could be compared to Israel, both within the Jewish citizens, those that understand their enemy and those that do not, and then lastly two solitudes could be betweem Israeli Jews and Arabs.

hus today, since Muslims are losing focus on Israel, they fight and kill each other in Palestine -- or at least that's Islamic Jihad's take on it.

revparadigm. Agreed it is OT, But no harm done by pointing out the sickness, depravity and hypocrisy of the people who follow

Allah, He who has the Godhood which is the power to create the entities.

Ar-Rahmaan, The Compassionate, The Beneficient, The One who has plenty of mercy for the believers and the blasphemers in this world and especially for the believers in the hereafter.

Ar-Raheem, The Merciful, The One who has plenty of mercy for the believers.

Al-Malik, The King, The Sovereign Lord, The One with the complete Dominion, the One Whose Dominion is clear from imperfection.

Al-Quddoos, The Holy, The One who is pure from any imperfection and clear from children and adversaries.

As-Salaam, The Source of Peace, The One who is free from every imperfection.

Blah blah blah and another 99 shades of bull shite

Yes--what insanity. What sort of "religion" is it, where the only thing that keeps them from their co-religionists' throats is the presence of a good Infidel enemy.

It would be as though, in the 1940s, Americans would not have been able to keep themselves from attacking Britain, or Holland--or from slaughtering the Belgians and the French--if it had not been for the existance of Nazi Germany to channel their insane agression.

What a sick view of human nature.
