Exposing the role that Islamic jihad theology and ideology play in the modern global conflicts

Robert Spencer: Obama Throws Israel to the Wolves

And so soon after he posed as a passionate and convinced Zionist during his third debate with Romney. Over at PJ Media I discuss the glee among Israel’s enemies:

Barack Obama pressured Israel
to accept the current ceasefire agreement with Hamas that was devised
by Egypt’s Muslim Brotherhood President Mohammed Morsi, and Israel’s
worst enemies are thrilled.

Hamas declared November 22, the day the truce went into effect, a “national holiday of victory.” Israel National News reported
that “mosques in Gaza City blared through their loudspeakers: “˜Allahu
Akbar (G-d is great), dear people of Gaza, you won. You have broken the
arrogance of the Jews.–

A Hamas sheikh, preaching at the funeral of one of those killed in Gaza, declared that Hamas had just won a great victory, one that would prove to be “the first nail in the coffin of Israel.” The Financial Times noted
that “on Friday, the midday prayers were dominated by declarations of
victory, with some preachers drawing a line between the latest conflict
and the Prophet Mohammed’s victory over the infidels.”

Iran’s President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad crowed:
“Zionists have reached the dead point and have no other alternative but
officially recognizing and bowing to the absolute right of the
Palestinian nation.” The speaker of Iran’s Parliament, Ali Larijani,
agreed, saying:
“The victory of Gaza highlights the necessity to continue resistance
and Jihad against the Zionist regime. With their patience and
perseverance, the people of Gaza showed that the only way to confront
the Zionist regime is Jihad and resistance.” The secretary of Iran’s
Supreme National Security Council, Saeed Jalili, said
that “accepting defeat after eight days means that the Zionist regime
is becoming increasingly weak,” and that the “counter-resistance is
getting stronger.”

Meanwhile, Moussa Abu Marzouk, Hamas chief Khaled Mashaal’s deputy,
has already stated obliquely that Hamas has no intention of keeping to
the terms of the ceasefire anyway. Marzouk rejected calls for Hamas to
stop amassing weapons, saying: “These weapons protected us and there is
no way to stop obtaining and manufacturing them.”

Yet the truce terms require, according to the Voice of America, –˜all
Palestinian factions” to stop all hostilities toward Israel from Gaza,
including rocket fire and attacks along the Gaza-Israel border.” So if
the truce forbids them to fire upon Israel, what is Hamas going to do
with all these weapons? Or is Marzouk signaling that Hamas has no
intention of keeping the truce at all?

For its part, Islamic Jihad was eager to emphasize that the jihad
against Israel would go on. “The battle with the enemy has not ended,” a
masked jihadist from the group maintained. “Our choice in fighting and getting weapons to defend our people is going on.”

Another indication that the jihad against Israel will flare up again
soon enough came from the imprisoned Saudi Sheikh Nasser bin Hamad
Al-Fahd, who praised the jihad bombings in Riyadh in 2003 and was jailed
shortly thereafter. In a fatwa posted last week on a jihadi website,
al-Fahd declared, according to the Middle East Media Research Institute,
that “the Jews are the leaders of the infidels and the greatest enemies
of Islam and the Muslims in the present age,” and that therefore
Muslims who waged jihad warfare against Jews everywhere would be
discharging “one of the most important duties and greatest virtues.”
Al-Fahd added that “any guarantees of protection granted them by
tyrannical and infidel governments are meaningless, especially when the
Jews are attacking Muslims as they please.”

Al-Fahd may be in prison, but his view of the jihad against Israel as
a religious obligation incumbent on every Muslim is not by any means
restricted to him alone. So many Muslims worldwide share it that even in
far-off Indonesia, a Muslim group last week began offering “jihad registration forms” to those believers who wished to wage jihad against Israel.

Muslim Brotherhood leader Muhammad Badie, meanwhile, reminded the world that “jihad is obligatory” for Muslims, and dubbed truces with Israel a “game of grand deception.”

Indeed. There is more.
