Muslim in Nazareth takes on Holocaust

From the Washington Times, with thanks to D.

NAZARETH, Israel -- No one talked to him at a recent family wedding, Khaled Mahameed says. Neighbors curse him at the supermarket. A relative accuses him of unwittingly playing into Israel's hands.

The reason: This Israeli Muslim has embarked on a lonely mission to teach his fellow Arabs about the Holocaust, in which Nazi Germany put to death an estimated 6 million Jews.

Mr. Mahameed's newly opened Holocaust institute in the biblical town of Nazareth is a modest operation, with occasional lectures. About 60 photos documenting the genocide mounted on the walls.

But the effort is highly unusual if not unique in the Arab world, where the Holocaust often is played down or even denied.

One photo shows a Nazi officer pointing a gun to the head of a Jew who squats at the edge of a mass grave.

"Men like this man settled our land," Mr. Mahameed told five Arab visitors recently. "We have to understand the very deep trauma of this man."

Mr. Mahameed, 43, thinks that learning about the Holocaust could help Arabs understand Israel better and ultimately resolve the Middle East conflict.

A few of his neighbors have expressed support for his museum, but it has provoked strong opposition among Palestinians who say Israel used Nazi dictator Adolf Hitler's genocide as an excuse to take Arab land...

It's hard to cast a Muslim trying to educate his fellows about the realities of the European Holocaust in a negative light, but when will Arabs and Muslims acknowledge the contribution they made to the population of Israel in its first decade after statehood -- between 600,000 and a million Jewish immigrants fleeing violence and persecution in Arab/Muslim countries.

Mr. Mahameed, here are some more pictures for your collection - if you dare.

Heaven forbid if Mr. Mahameed Put up pictures of the Grand Mufti of Jerusalem (Hussaini) with his Nazi ss division (made up mostly of Albanian Muslims)
He'd probably get killed, but then again you never know. Hitler is well regarded in the Islamic world. He was supposed to come help the mufti kill all the jews in the area after the war. things just didn't work out. The Mufti did manage to divert thousands of Jewish children from comming to Israel and sent them to the gas chamber instead.

From the contradictions in Mohammadanism department.

002.040
YUSUFALI: O Children of Israel! call to mind the (special) favour which I bestowed upon you, and fulfil your covenant with Me as I fulfil My Covenant with you, and fear none but Me.

002.047
YUSUFALI: Children of Israel! call to mind the (special) favour which I bestowed upon you, and that I preferred you to all other (for My Message).

005.020
YUSUFALI: Remember Moses said to his people: "O my people! Call in remembrance the favour of Allah unto you, when He produced prophets among you, made you kings, and gave you what He had not given to any other among the peoples.

005.021
YUSUFALI: "O my people! Enter the holy land which Allah hath assigned unto you, and turn not back ignominiously, for then will ye be overthrown, to your own ruin."


Allah seems to be a bit fickle, one minute he claims the land of Israel belongs to the Jews,
he calls them “Children of Israel” and even says “he” assigned the land to them, but Moslems today claim that the Jews seized Arab land?

Which is it, you imbecilic Mohammedan’s ?

005.051
YUSUFALI: O ye who believe! take not the Jews and the Christians for your friends and protectors: They are but friends and protectors to each other. And he amongst you that turns to them (for friendship) is of them. Verily Allah guideth not a people unjust.

Sahih Bukhari
Volume 4, Book 52, Number 177:
Narrated Abu Huraira:
Allah's Apostle said, "The Hour will not be established until you fight with the Jews, and the stone behind which a Jew will be hiding will say. "O Muslim! There is a Jew hiding behind me, so kill him."

And here we see that just 30 sura’s later, allah had a big change of heart, he now claims not to guide the Jews, I wonder when this allah will awake from his perpetual stupor and make up his damn mind?

Why didn’t allah have Trans-Jordan or Egypt give the mythical Palestinians their so-called land back during the 19 years (1948-1967) they held the land?

Because for the Moslem, its not about right and wrong, its all about hating the Jews!

Bar-

The newer surat abrogates the older one. Considering the 8th and 9th are the last, it's basicly kill everyone on the planet and make it all for Islam. It's basicly war until the last day, or the world is all Islam.

Ishaq:208 “When Allah gave permission to his Apostle to fight, the second Aqaba contained conditions involving war which were not in the first act of submission. Now we bound themselves to war against all mankind for Allah and His Apostle. He promised us a reward in Paradise for faithful service. We pledged ourselves to war in complete obedience to Muhammad no matter how evil the circumstances.”

Qur’an 8:7 “Allah wished to confirm the truth by His words: ‘Wipe the infidels out to the last.’”

Qur’an 8:39 “So, fight them till all opposition ends and the only religion is Islam.”

Another hero at risk of imminent martyrdom. The pity of it is that I suspect that, however many valiant and truthful individuals of this kind do manifest themselves among the darkness of Islam, they will not be effective. Two Gospel verses come to mind: "The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness did not comprehend it": and "some of the seed fell on rocks, and it died, or the birds devoured it". Islam is inherently sterile ground for any kind of intellectual honesty.

CAIR Canada is doing their part to re-write history and promote another Nazi regime to rid the world of the "Jewish Pigs" as in the Quran.

Recently Muslim org.'s and many Muslims protested the deportation of Ernst Zundel to Germany once his stay in Canada was revoked,now
we have CAIR protesting Canada's deportation of 5 Nazi war criminals that thought they had immunity
from being charged after 60 some odd years.

CAIR is angry that Muslim terrorists that attained a citizenship can have it revoked and be deported to place of origin,CAIR claims that since Canadian born criminals can't be deported
it creates two classes of Citizens( funny they don't see Saudi Arabia that way) and therefor is a violation of human rights under our Charter.

CAIR is showing itself for the terrorist
supporters they are and now use law suits to threaten the Governemnt to enforce Islam and the Quran on all employee's under the guise of "Islamophobia" sensitivity training,at the Inquiry to see how a Syrian with a Canadian passport got deported to Jodan from NY, CAIR has cited bogus survey's and anecdotal Muslim-bashing evidence which has now been posted on their website as "Evidence from a Inquiry",the transcripts show that the Judge was told about the testimony and allowed it as a reference piece
to see "Perception" within the Muslim population.
But CAIR read these lies into the record so they could do their usual scam of citing comments
as to be seen by muslim as factual,CAIR refers to "jewish Terrorists", Racial profiling ,and Islamophobia when 19 Sunni Pakistani young men from the same province were in Canada illegally on forged documents were rounded up and deported.

Sheema Khan from CAIR used this case but failed to tell the Judge the whole story,later her claim of 19 Muslims being rounded up by the RCMP just for being Muslims was exposed for what it was,a cheap ruse to play the vitim.
When asked where these men are today since being jailed,she said " Ahhhhhhhhh..They were all deported on immigration violations" .
Oh sort of Sheema,the fake ID's and fake Pakistani passports were one offense,and the fake College in Montreal to get a student visa was another,and expired visa was another,then there is the cell group of about 5 (all 19 wewre young males) which two took flying lessons near a Nuclear power Plant,and another two lived together and had airplane blueprint on the wall and bomb making instructions as well as several false fire alarms on their floor as if to test the response time of rescue workers.

So yes Sheema, immigration violation do include breaking the law and planing terrorism,but it's sad that you defend them as victims of Racial profiling that lead to the arrests.
Several fought to stay in Canada and CAIR aided them since they argued if returned they would suffer harm or even death,well,when you work for Al-Qaeda and fail your mission what did you expect
when returning home,the forged documents weren't meant for getting back to Pakistan.

My hat is off to Mr. Mahameed and I pray that one day, both states between the Jordan and Med will have his face on postage stamps and quarrel over which of them had him as a citizen. But I also hope he will point out that the Moroccan-Israelis, who are more numerous than either Polish-Israelis or German-Israelis, descend from people who were all but chattel of Muslim chiefs, had to go barefoot when passing a mosque, and subjected to a number of other degradations before France and its Mission Civilizatrice swept through. I also hope he nad others like him point out that in the name of Arab Nationalism, the land that forged the Babylonian Talmud is now Judenrein, when as late as the eve of WWII one in five Baghdadis was Jewish. Finally, what of the poor Jews from Yemen, where if a Muslim of Tribe A killed a Jewish client of Muslim Tribe B, the Jews belonging to Tribe B could expect a Muslim of Tribe B to kill one of A's Jews.

It is perhaps relatively easy for Middle Eastern Muslims to see the evil perpetrated by European secularists and Christians against the Jews; but the fuse will really be pulled from the ticking bomb of civilizational war when Middle Eastern Muslims fess up and repudiate a very long history of oppressing dhimmi, whether Jewish, Mandaean, Christian, or Zoroastrian.
