True Islam, as we all know, is peaceful and tolerant, and Nidal Hasan’s Islam is heretical, rejected by the Vast Majority of Peaceful Muslims.
Unfortunately, however, al-Ansari is Misunderstanding Islam in accord with a hadith of Muhammad that appears in Sahih Muslim, a hadith collection Muslims consider authoritative:
Abu Huraira reported Allah’s Messenger (may peace be upon him) as saying: 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. (Muslim 6985)
Isn’t it odd how all the Misunderstanders of Islam seem to misunderstand it in all the same ways?
“Egyptian Cleric Amin Al-Ansari – Hatred of Jews is Prevalent in Sports and in the Animal Kingdom: ‘Judgment Day Will Not Come Before the Muslims Fight the Jews and Kill Them’; The Muslims Will Kill the Jews – Be Patient,'” from MEMRI, November 6 (thanks to all who sent this in):
Following are excerpts from an address by Egyptian cleric Amin Al-Ansari, which aired on Al-Rahma TV on October 12, 2009.Earlier this year, Amin Al-Ansari appeared on Al-Rahma TV to show footage of torture and killing of Jews in Nazi concentration camps, stating, “This is what we hope will happen, but, Allah willing, at the hand of the Muslims.

“God Has Filled People’s Hearts With Loathing For These [Jews]”
Amin Al-Ansari: “God has filled people’s hearts with loathing for these [Jews]. Let’s take a look at the field of sports. Forget about politics, military issues, and so on. Let’s look at sports on the international level. How come there are no successful Israeli athletes like in any other people? They are abhorred. God does not let people be friendly with them.

“Jews think that anybody can… No, animals can sense things. The proof is that the Prophet Muhammad said that when Judgment Day draws near, the final war between the Muslims and the Jews will take place. The Prophet said that the Muslims would kill the Jews.
“‘Judgment Day will not come before the Muslims fight the Jews and kill them.’ The Muslims will kill the Jews. Be patient. All the trees and all the stones will say: ‘Oh Muslim, oh servant of Allah, there is a Jew behind me, come and kill him – except for the Gharqad tree.’ Only one kind of tree will not call [the Muslims]. It is the Gharqad tree.”
