Jihad Watch

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

Muslim cleric prays that journalists “have their hands chopped off and their tongues cut out” for “speaking evil of the Jihad”

Feb 22, 2014 9:28 pm By Robert Spencer

Just imagine if the Imam Ibrahim Al-Harethi were in the United States. He wouldn’t be able to believe his good fortune. Christiane Amanpour, Niraj Warikoo, Bob Smietana, Lisa Wangsness, and hordes of other mainstream media journalists would be battling each other to be the first to publish a glowing profile, a fawning interview, a thoughtful feature story about the jihad, Hamas, the Palestinians, and of martyrdom operations, showing the most bloodthirsty jihad terrorists to be wise, warm, humorous, grimly determined, pious, and philosophical about the foes of the group, who would be portrayed as racist, ignorant bigots. Obama should get al-Harethi over here pronto, so that his heart and mind can be at peace.

“Saudi Imam Ibrahim Al-Harethi Preaches Jihad, Calls to Chop Off Hands and Tongues of ‘Traitors in the Arab Media,'” from MEMRI, February 14:

In a Friday sermon, Saudi Imam Ibrahim Al-Harethi extolled martyrdom and Jihad, and criticized the “traitors in the Arab media” – mentioning Al-Arabiya TV and the Saudi London-based “Al-Sharq Al-Awsat” daily – praying to Allah to have “their hands chopped off and their tongues cut out.” The sermon was rebroadcast on the Saudi 4Shbab TV on February 14, 2014, but was apparently originally delivered in March 2013.

Following are excerpts:

Ibrahim Al-Harethi: How can a Muslim possibly be willing to forget the Al-Aqsa Mosque, Palestine, and its people?

[…]

Do you contribute part of your wages to Palestine? [This money goes] to the mujahideen, to the martyrdom-seekers, to the heroes, to the orphans, to the bereaved, to mothers who say, after four or five of their children were martyred: “I am sending my sixth, seventh, and eighth to Jihad for Palestine.”

Even fathers have written about this on the social networks. One wrote: “My wife and I bade farewell to our eldest son, who is not yet 17. He has gone to fight as a mujahid in Gaza. May Allah grant him the martyrdom he seeks.”

This father is a role model for Palestine. There are people who prevent our nation from falling into the claws of the U.S., and those who are behind it.

[…]

[Some Arabs] talk about dialogue for peace with “the other,” with the West… What dialogue?! These people understand nothing but force. Only pride, enmity, and Jihad are useful against them. These people understand nothing but the language of force.

[…]

The [martyrdom-seekers] sacrificed their bodies for the sake of Allah. They blew themselves up like volcanoes until the Earth shook, and was filled with the torn body parts of Zionists. As for the martyr, he was placed in Paradise. How blessed he is to meet the black-eyed virgins.

[…]

Some traitors in the Arab media – for example, in Al-Arabiya TV and the Al-Sharq Al-Awsat newspaper – distort the image of Jihad and of Hamas, and say unspeakable things. We will discuss them on another occasion. We pray for Allah to guide them, but if they refuse to be guided, may He punish them, and have their hands chopped off and their tongues cut out, because those tongues are always speaking evil of the Jihad, of Hamas, of the Palestinians, and of martyrdom operations.

    Humor me, a follower of Islam can say anything they want that is distasteful, anti-Semitic, anti Christian, plain vile, but we have to be careful of what we say. What is wrong with this that so many are blind to it? Is it a media black out or just plain stupidity.

    It is strange to me that the heaven they have is full of females and yet here on earth they treat females as slaves and worse. Barbaric, evil people!

      What’s stranger still is that muhammad related that hell is mostly full of women, yet in islamic heaven there are 72 virgins to every man.

      • dumbledoresarmy says

        Feb 23, 2014 at 2:57 am

        But those ‘virgins in paradise’ aren’t *women*, not human souls, they are hooris, heavenly sex toys, sorta like live blow-up dolls.

      • Bujang Senang says

        I can finish 72 virgins in one day. No problem.

      Stop blaspheming and get on with trying to get your fair share of wives and stable of sex slaves in this life or die trying. It’s the way of peace. Only then will Allah, the celestial pimp, guarantee you even more in his celestial bordello.

    “How blessed he is to meet the black-eyed virgins.” That sounds kinda racist to me. Does this mean green-eyed and blue-eyed women aren’t eligible to be virgin professional women in islamic heaven?

    • Daphne says

      Feb 23, 2014 at 4:22 am

      Actually all of them would have black eyes from the ‘loving’ abuse of their owner!

    Imam Ibrahim Al-Harethi: “As for the martyr, he was placed in Paradise. How blessed he is to meet the black-eyed virgins.”

    According to the Hadith, many of these houries will be non-Muslim women, who will be sex slaves assigned by Allah to the Muslim jihadists in paradise:

    “Abu Umama said, Allah be well-pleased with him: The Messenger of Allah said, upon him blessings and peace: “None is made to enter Paradise by Allah Most High except Allah Most High shall marry him to seventy-two wives, two of them from the wide-eyed maidens of Paradise and seventy of them his inheritance from the People of Hellfire, not one of them but her attraction never lags nor his arousal ever wanes.””
    Ibn Majah, Ibn `Adi in the Kamil, and al-Bayhaqi in al-Ba`th wal-Nushur

      Unfortunately these are all lies. All Muslims will be in hell, male or female. Satan laughs at each ” martyr” as he or she falls through the jaws of hell upon death. There are no female virgins for men nor male virgins for the women…

    • Defcon 4 says

      Feb 23, 2014 at 1:55 pm

      Hilarious, so most of the women in islamic heaven aren’t observant muslimahs, but unbelievers?

    King Hussein of Jordan once said, “Jordan is Palestine.” And so it is. Israel is the homeland of the Jews, similar to Latvia, Macedonia, Armenia, Georgia, Uzbekistan…all homelands. Since there was never a ‘nation’ of Palestine, there is no ‘Palestinian people’. Arabs always thought of the region as Lower Syria…and they still do. ‘The Palestinian People!’ is merely a war cry to distract disenfranchised Arabs from the evil, manipulations of their dictators.

    nothing surprises me – it’s just more of the same that the MSM refuses to acknowledge and report.

    The unsung hero is Memri, the first Reality Show and still the best in the business. No judges. No opinions. No winners. Everyone gets the chance to have their views, however awkward, amplified.

    One thing we NEVER hear:
    “We all said goodbye to our preacher. He has gone to fight as a mujahid in Gaza. May Allah grant him the martyrdom he seeks.”
    Now why is that?

    • Joel says

      Feb 23, 2014 at 11:09 am

      Do you think that the “preacher” “imam” or whatever is TOTALLY STUPID?

      And give up his good life-makes speeches; has sex; luxurious living conditions (at least as compared to the peasants who support him); ; no real work? To risk injury and death ?

      Why bother? Just send the idiots who believe this crap.

      Just my view of the matter

      • Salah says

        Feb 23, 2014 at 1:28 pm

        “Why bother? Just send the idiots who believe this crap.”

        Just like Muhammad, they prefer death in jihad than life, as long as this jihad is fought by their gullible followers and not by themselves!

        Feb 23, 2014 at 2:01 pm

        Your view is probably right on, an Iman does not want to die, he wants those others to die for him, the unspoken rule of Islam.

  10. Joel says

    Feb 23, 2014 at 11:05 am

    I disagree with those who say that there are no 72 virgins.

    I say that there are.

    JUST NOT HUMAN. Sheep, goats; baby camels; and other animal species.

    Just my view

    Ogh, and maybe some pigs and wild boars also–for the ‘ real he-men”

    • veggiedog says

      Feb 23, 2014 at 11:43 am

      No pigs, after all they are dirty animals. That would be enough to drive a follower of Islam or any Muslim over the edge. Oh never mind, they already are.

    what? no interfaith dialogue?

    NUKE ’em- they want force, they want Jannah, help them on their way.

      Never happen, maybe it should but it never will, but they will nuke us the first chance they get.

      • Defcon 4 says

        Feb 23, 2014 at 11:26 pm

        Can you imagine if islamic terrorists got a hold of nukes? OBL already stated he wished 300,000 US citizens had died on 9-11. MEMRI had a video in which a Kuwaiti islamic cleric was discussing an anthrax terrorist attack on the US, how it could be done, and how many casualties could be expected. I’m betting we’ll see an islamic terrorist attack in the 21st century that will make 9-11 look like a peaceful love-in from the 60’s.
