In FrontPage for Friday I discuss the recent endorsement of genocide by a Muslim student at UCSD:
UC-San Diego student Jumanah Imad Albahri last week, under questioning from David Horowitz, refused to condemn Hamas and Hizballah and endorsed a genocidal statement by Hizballah leader Hassan Nasrallah. Many were shocked. Albahri's statement is being treated as a singular utterance, a lapse that has nothing to do with the Muslim Students Association of which she is a part, and certainly not with Islam as a whole.Unfortunately, Albahri's support for genocide of the Jews doesn't reveal that she is a closet Nazi, but that she is an entirely mainstream Muslim. Genocidal statements are painfully common from Muslim leaders today. On January 29, Palestinian Authority TV, which is controlled by the ostensibly moderate Fatah faction of Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas, broadcast a Friday mosque sermon containing this reference to the notorious genocidal hadith in which Muhammad says that the end times would not come until Muslims started murdering Jews: "The Prophet says: 'You shall fight the Jews and kill them, until the tree and the stone will speak and say: "Oh Muslim, Oh servant of Allah"' -- the tree and the stone will not say, 'Oh Arab,' they will say, 'Oh Muslim.' And they will not say, 'Where are the millions?' and will not say, 'Where is the Arab nation?' Rather, they will say, 'Oh Muslim, Oh servant of Allah -- there is a Jew behind me, come and kill him.' Except for the Gharqad tree, which is the tree of the Jews. Thus, this land will be liberated only by means of Jihad."
In the original hadith, Muhammad says that "the last hour would not come unless the Muslims will fight against the Jews and the Muslims would kill them until the Jews would hide themselves behind a stone or a tree and a stone or a tree would say: Muslim, or the servant of Allah, there is a Jew behind me; come and kill him; but the tree Gharqad would not say, for it is the tree of the Jews" (Sahih Muslim 6985).
If the "last hour" will not come until Muslims start murdering Jews wholesale, then what's to prevent a pious young lady like Jumanah Imad Albahri from believing that speaking approvingly of the mass-murder of Jews, as Nasrallah did, is a holy and pious act?
Clearly other Muslims do. On January 12, a top Iranian official, Mohammad Hassan Rahimian, declared on Al-Manar TV: "We have manufactured missiles that allow us, when necessary, to replace Israel in its entirety with a big holocaust." And on December 29, 2009, Muhammad Hussein Yaaqub, an Islamic cleric, dashed hopes for the usefulness of interfaith discussions when he said this on Egypt's Al-Nas TV: "The Jews are our enemies. Allah will annihilate them at our hands. This is something we know for certain. We know this for certain - not because I say so, but because Allah said so. 'You shall find that the people strongest in enmity to the believers are the Jews and the polytheists.'"
Yaaqub was quoting from the Qur'an (5:82).
Great article, Robert. Very informative. I just watched the Horowitz video and I was enraged that someone like this is allowed to be a student at a University of California college. I recently graduated from UCSB and I wish I attended the event that David spoke of in the video.

Page 19 "… MUHAMMAD WAS THE FIRST NAZI SS MAN: THE FIRST ADOLF HITLER"
Transforming Jews & Christians into Apes & Swine!
(Quran 2:65, 5:60, 7:166)
I think many Muslims (mainly in the West) who honestly and sincerely believe that their religion (Islam) is a religion of peace think this way only because they are unaware or ignorant of Islam's teaching about murdering non-believers (of Islam), about husbands being encouraged to beat their wives for disobedience, about families being encouraged to murder their own for "dishonorable" behavior, about women being inferior to men, about men being encouraged to rape women who do not fully cover themselves with a burqa. These teachings of Islam can be verified by Muslims in their own Quran and Hadith and from the teachings of their imams. Anything that is universally good in Islam (such as being kind to neighbor) is nothing original from Islam, but borrowed from Christianity and Judaism. Note that Islam was founded by Muhammad six hundred years after Jesus founded Christianity, and after over perhaps two thousand years of Judaism. Islam has no originality of its own when it commands to do what is truly and universally good. It is merely borrowed from Christianity and Judaism. But Islam does have its own originality in something else. Of all religions, Islam is unique its commands for its adherents to do evil and call it good and holy. Islam is the only religion that promotes murder and/or disrespect and intimidation of non-believers. Islam is the only religion that commands murder of its former adherents (i.e., former Muslims = apostates). Islam is the only religion that commands "honor killing" (aka murdering your own children, siblings, or parents) for "dishonorable" behavior. Islam is the only religion that commands husbands to beat their wives for disobedience. Islam is the only religion that commands Muslim men to rape, beat, or murder Muslim women that refuse to wear burqa. Islam is the only religion that commands the use of deceit (i.e., dishonesty or lying) in order to advance or spread the religion of Islam. Etc... These commandments of Islam to commit evil acts cannot be from Allah (i.e., God) because Allah is indeed good, but these commandments are evil. To call Islam a religion of peace... nothing could be further from the truth…
Iran's nuclear gambit and Hezbollah's rocket arsenal are designed to do the same thing...create an irresistible momentum in the regional equation that will amplify Israeli insecurity, result in ever-increasing numbers of Jewish emigration, and thus jeopardize the Zionist project without necessarily firing a shot.
I agree firmly with Robert and with the comments above.
As this is related to the Palestinians, I hope I can introduce this only slightly off-topic note:
For those who may not be aware of this, the courageous and intelligent Hamas defector, Mosab Hassan Youssef was interviewed recently by (the rude and hostile) Zeinab Badawi on the BBC Hardtalk programme.
This was a revealing discussion in many ways. Recommended.
I only hope the link works:

Mohammed was a genoicidal maniac, and he's their prototype. And old Allah, he talked some serious murder right there in the Ko-ran. Kill! Die! Hate! Murder for the Cause! The Cause! Be Cause!
*** 8:39 ***
Like their prototype, Moslems are always aggrieved about something or another. Betcha if you took a serious opinion poll with no taquiyya, somewhere around 100% of Moslems secretly favor nuking Tel Aviv. And NYC or London, for that matter.
*** Bukhari Vol 1 Bk 1 Nbr 6 ***
And that's a whole lotta Moderate Moslems in that opinion poll. Be like that 85% favorable rating OBL booked in that Gallup on 9/12 in Pak. That kinda Moderate Moslem.
Killing and genocide is in Muslim DNA so why are we surprised when Muslims come out and reveaal this truth - yeah the surprise is that she admitted the truth so openly!!!

Damn right!!! Time has come to fight back or perish!!
We need a serious ANTI-JIHAD college campus effort. That is where the ideology battle must be fought.
If there is anyone who hasn't seen the UCSD video, in which Ms. Albahri declares her position with respect to world-wide Jewry, here's the link:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8fSvyv0urTE&feature=player_embedded#!
With a single one-syllable word, Ms. Albahri makes her position, and presumably the position of her co-religionists, absolutely clear. There's a simple two-word response to such attitudes that must be used, with the legal teeth to back it up, against Ms. Albahri and her ilk: Get out.
I saw the movie...Allah could have picked a better looking Muslimah to star in it...She would be better cast as 'The Red Queen' of The Islamic wonderland...', 'Off with their heads' (Jews)...'I love executions in the morning'. (More Jews)...
If you expand her one word response, that's what you get...
I posted the following on Frontpage:
A friend of mine, living in Israel, who is a friend of Sheikh Professor Abdul Hadi Palazzi...
http://97.74.65.51/readArticle.aspx?ARTID=7298
...wrote the following after I urged him to watch the video:
I watched the video, and I will tell you right now this young woman Jumana Imad al-Bahri is a good Wahhabi. Wahhabis are heretics to Islam but since they own Mecca and Medina, they get to say "we're Muslims" and it gets dangerous to say "no" to them.
No decent G-d fearing MUSLIM will say "exterminate the Jews". Only Wahhabi and their spoor say these things.
Just because it says CAMELS on a cigarette box does not mean that there are CAMEL cigarettes in the box - or even cigarettes at all. This fat pig walked and oinked like a Wahhabi - and that is what she is. But, I'll give her credit for better manners than David Horowitz, that's for sure. That was something I did not expect.
Closet Nazi. Mainstream Muslim. Paper thin difference, if any difference at all. One of the universal characteristics of totalitarian ideologies is that they have to have certain groups of human beings who are to be subordinated or killed. Islam does this with non-believers, with an extra venom reserved for Jews, notwithstanding the deceptive "People of the Book" crap. Nazism does this with particular ethnic groups, again Jews being among them, and Marxism does it with socio-economic groups, i.e., the middle and upper classes, though, as Paul Johnson has shrewdly noted, there is a built-in anti-Semitism in Marxism as well, principally because the Jew has been a wanderer for much of his history and Marxists need the working class to stay in one place.
In any case, totalitarians must be haters, despisers, of many other human beings. It's part of the fuel that keeps totalitarians going. Scapegoats are very important to every totalitarian ideology and their followers. The way the fat little Muslim responded to David Horowitz is a case in point (yeah, I've gotten personal here but she deserves it).
Wellington, Paul or Saul of Tarsus (a self-professed Jew) seemed also to have scapegoated the Jews:
"....for you also endured the same sufferings at the hands of your own countrymen, even as they did from the Jews, who both killed the Lord Jesus and the prophets, and drove us out. They are NOT pleasing to God, but hostile to all men,
hindering us from speaking to the Gentiles so that they may be saved; with the result that they always fill up the measure of their sins. But wrath has come upon them to the utmost."
Totalitarian?
Unlike Christianity, Islam and Judaism, Nazism makes no claim to revelation from a supernatural deity; unless we should consider Hitler a supernatural deity.
Horowitz: Will you condemn Hamas?
MSA member: Would I condemn Hamas?
Horowitz: As a terrorist organization. Genocidal organization.
MSA member: Are you asking me to put myself on a cross?
..................
"Put myself on a cross"—the loathsome Jumanah Imad Albahri is here equating any discomfort over admitting her vile support for Hamas and Hizb'allah and genocide with *persecution of the innocent*. It shows the Muslim mindset—whining victimhood, even when touting the most vicious aggression.
... under questioning from David Horowitz, refused to condemn Hamas and Hizballah and endorsed a genocidal statement by Hizballah leader Hassan Nasrallah. Many were shocked.
In these dark times it's reassuring to know there are heros out there, fighting the good fight.
*** 33:21 ***
Horowitz is one. Spencer too. Geller, Fitzgerald, Wilders, these are heros who take their lives into their own hands to fight a thankless battle.
*** 8:12 ***
I wonder what Tom Tancredo is up to these days? I think maybe it got too dangerous for him, it's tough for an American politician to operate under close armed security. Very tough. Sue Myrick might be feeling that same 6th Pillar of Islam pressure about now.

.....................
With all due respect to your friend, Wild Jew, there is no indication that most Muslims consider Wahhabis "heretics", nor that Muslim anti-Semitism—*including genocide*—is considered beyond the pale for any "G-d fearing MUSLIM"—just the opposite, in fact.
Are all members of Hamas and Hizb'allah "Wahhabis"? Is Mahmoud Achmadinejad, an Iranian Shi'ite who has vowed to "wipe Israel off the map", "Wahhabi"?
Was the "Prophet" Muhammed, who said "'You shall fight the Jews and kill them, until the tree and the stone will speak and say: "Oh Muslim, Oh servant of Allah -- there is a Jew behind me, come and kill him'" "Wahhabi"?
More:

.....................
Again, I'm afraid I must disagree with you. I found David Horowitz' stance brave and principled, and his technique very, very effective. He was not rude, but cut through a great deal of obfuscation and bullsh*t.
And I admit, I find it difficult consider anyone *advocating genocide* to be evincing good manners, in any case.
No decent G-d fearing MUSLIM will say "exterminate the Jews". Only Wahhabi and their spoor say these things.
That this level of profound confusion can exist among Israeli Jews tells us how dire our situation becomes.
*** 8:12 ***
It's one thing to be willfully ignorant, quite another to be suicidally ignorant. Islam is based on antisemitism at its very foundation. Mohammed didn't take kindly to the Jews declining to follow him, and he made them pay in blood for that crime of, ahem, "infidelity."
Paul is differenct, wildjew. So is Christianity. In Christian doctrine the Jews (Romans too) serve as the embodiment of all the human race which has fallen from grace, needs to be redeemed and which crucified the person whom Christians believe is God personally present on earth for some third of a century come to save mankind from a downtrodden state of his own making. Of course, subway Christians in past centuries (virtually none today) missed the Jew as Everyman message and singled them out, to the great misfortune of many Jews, but Christian doctrine, unlike Islamic doctrine, is not inherently anti-Semitic. Neither is Christianity even remotely totalitarian (e.g., "Render to Caesar the things which are Caesar's..."). In fact, Christianity is one of the two best religions (the other is Judaism) which can most easily go along with democratic tenets, in part because it really has no totalitarian strain in it at all (also because it places such an emphasis on the dignity and worth of the individual).
Christianity is not the enemy of Jews, wildjew. One knows this or should know it. One should also know that Islam is most definitely an abiding and everlasting enemy of the Jewish people. Should Methodists start sawing off heads, Presbyterians begin blowing themselves up in restaurants, Catholics start taking hostages and Baptists begin denouncing the existence of Israel, all in the name of Christianity, get back to me and I'll reconsider what I've written above.
gravenimage, I only posted it to provide a different perspective. I did not say I agree with my friend. There are those that believe Salafi or Wahhabi Islam is heresy. Folks like Sheikh Professor Palazzi, Stephen Schwartz and others. I cannot say I find those you have mentioned at odds with what the prophet taught. I cannot say this stream of Islam is at odds with what we read in Islam's holiest book, the Qur'an.
Problem is, the "mainstream" of Islam regards them as apostates and you know what happens to them.....
One of the reasons Islam has fought off reform for 1400 years.
tanstaafl, what is mainstream in Islam?
Gharqad sounds like my kind of tree. And hundreds of thousands of seedlings of Gharqad have just emerged. They are our very own internet avatars, shielding us from physical violence, fear and intimidation:

Wild'jew' (?why does reading your name always remind me of mildew?), I do like games like this, where the likes of yourself attempt to drive a wedge between the Old and New to corrobrate the fallacy that you follow. Divvy-chops Paul's much-larded 'testimony' is as questionable as those who quote or bear it creedance.
Isn't support of genocide grounds for expulsion at UCSD?
Isn't that hate speech of the first order?
London Jim, do you really live in London? What is the fallacy I follow? I think it unfair to say I drive a wedge between the Old and the New Testament. There is a good deal that I agree with in the NT. Much of what Jesus taught for instance. He was after all a Jew. This verse from the book of Thessalonians, I do not agree with it. Do you?
What is really disconcerting, is that Muslims in the West now feel confident enough to openly state their genocidal intentions regarding Jews. No other person could get away with such outright genocidal statements without being prosecuted and persecuted. Yet Muslims are getting away with it, for they know that we have been dhimmified.
Why do they think this?
The answer is that Muslims expected that Islam would be wiped out after 9/11. I remember the panic that set in in the Muslim world as they waited for Armageddon to descend on them. But instead of that, our Western leaders rushed to the mosque and kissed the Koran.
Now if I were a devout Muslim, I would see this outcome as a sign that allah had disarmed the Kuffar, so that the powerful Kuffar West could not use his armed might. Victory was therefore only a matter of time, as allah promised. It is this confidence that allah is on their side and has shown this clearly by disarming the Kuffar, that allows Muslims to openly state genocidal views in the West.
The fact that they still get away with this, confirms their view.
This is just business as usual. Normal Muslim Jew bashing. And even more wherever they find us, they want to kill us. As I said, business as usual.
But yesterday we celebrated Israel day with songs, dances and kosher wine. Am Irael chai!
