Everything Al-Astal says is based strictly on the Qur’an. It would be refreshing, therefore, for a moderate Muslim spokesman to explain exactly how Al-Astal is misunderstanding and misinterpreting the Qur’an, and to show why he is wrong on Islamic grounds. That is, however, one thing we can count on not happening.
“Hamas MP Al-Astal: We Must Massacre Jews, Impose Jizya Poll Tax on Them,” from MEMRI, March 6:
In a recent address, Hamas cleric and MP Yunis Al-Astal said that the Koran indicates that “we must massacre [the Jews]… to prevent them from sowing corruption in the world.” Al-Astal further said: “We must restore them to the state of humiliation imposed upon them… They must pay the jizya security tax while they live in our midst.” The address was aired on March 6, 2014, on the Hamas-owned Al-Aqsa TV, broadcasting from Gaza.
Following are excerpts:
Yunis Al-Astal: In today’s show, we will discuss the demand that the Palestinian people recognize [Israel] as a Jewish state, so that the occupation will graciously hand them out scraps. I would like to begin by quoting what Allah said about them: “The worst of beasts in the sight of Allah are those who disbelieve. They are the ones with whom you made a covenant, but they break their covenant every time.” […]
That’s Qur’an 8:55-56.
The obvious question is: What is the solution to this gang of people? The Al-Anfal chapter of the Koran provides us with the answer. After He said: “They are the ones with whom you made a covenant, but they break their covenant every time,” Allah added: “If you gain mastery over them in a war, use them to disperse those who follow them that they may remember.” This indicates that we must massacre them, in order to break them down and prevent them from sowing corruption in the world. They are the ones who still spark the flame of war, but Allah has taken it upon Himself to extinguish it. […]
“If you gain mastery over them in a war, use them to disperse those who follow them that they may remember” is Qur’an 8:57.
We must restore them to the state of humiliation imposed upon them. They should be dhimmi citizens. This status must be imposed upon them by war. They must pay the jizya security tax while they live in our midst. […]
“Fight those who believe not in Allah nor the Last Day, nor hold that forbidden which hath been forbidden by Allah and His Messenger, nor acknowledge the religion of Truth, (even if they are) of the People of the Book, until they pay the Jizya with willing submission, and feel themselves subdued.” — Qur’an 9:29
However, in Palestine, where they are occupiers and invaders, they cannot have the status of dhimmis.
This is because they are considered to be kuffar harbi, infidels at war with Islam, and thus must simply be killed.

I saw this video and yes what he is saying is exactly what the Koran is telling him to say. I would highly encourage everyone here to periodically visit Memri TV.org. There are eye opening videos from just about every broadcaster in the middle east on their site. M
Champ ✿ says
islam = the religion from hell!
Tradewinds says
So right Champ.
Charli Main says
That is precisely correct Champ.
Islam is the religion from hell, invented by Satan and presented to his earthly tool, Mohammed.
Just about everything preached by Jesus in the New Testament, is preached against in Satan´s Koran.
Spreading evil, death and destruction through the World, is Satan´s prime objective and He is using His Muslim disciples to do the job.

I’ve heard a lot of Muslim spokesmen saying that these Qur’an verses were meant for a certain people, at a certain time of history. According to them, these verses should not apply today.
Of course, we all know that this explanation is wrong. The Qur’an is meant to be the perfect guide for all peoples, at all times.
Nevertheless, these false explanations are a good indicator that Muslims, or at least many of them, are beginning to realize that this is not exactly the case, and that the Qur’an is NOT the perfect book they thought it was. They are starting to feel the shame of being Muslims.
And THAT is good!

Salah—with respect—I believe these false explanations from Muslims are usually Taqiyya—not an indication that Muslims are ashamed by the content of the Qur’an.
After all, do you really believe that Hamas MP Yunis Al-Astal is “ashamed” by what’s in the Qur’an? Not only is he well-versed in its contents, but he is *aggressively proud* of its barbarism—and clearly wants to impose its savagery on Jewish victims as soon as he is able.
Salah says

Of course not. I’m not talking about him or people of his ilk, I’m talking about what Robert refers to as “moderate Muslim spokesmen” trying to explain how Al-Astal is misunderstanding and misinterpreting the Qur’an.
If these “moderate Muslim spokesmen” are *FOR* violent Jihad, then, they are simply playing Taqiyya. If they are *AGAINST* violent Jihad, then, they are ashamed of the Qur’an and of the teachings of Muhammad. Many of them are.
They know islam is wrong, but they are too proud and/or too ashamed and/or too afraid to publicly admit it.
Henry says
I believe you are right, I think (an unknown number of) Muslims are waiting/hoping for some event or development to give them a safe opportunity to unshackle themselves and renounce Islam. Perhaps it will begin by some brave government outlawing death for apostasy and uphold the equality of all before the law. In the meantime all of us must continue to speak the truth about Islam to help usher in its demise.

Hamas MP: We must massacre Jews, make the rest pay the jizya

And what does “Al-Anfal” mean? It means “booty”, or “loot”, or “spoils of war”. What other faith’s “holy book” has a chapter on *booty*?
More:
We must restore them to the state of humiliation imposed upon them. They should be dhimmi citizens. This status must be imposed upon them by war. They must pay the jizya security tax while they live in our midst.

And *this* explains the Muslim rage over the existence of Israel—that Jews are living in the heart of what Muslims consider Dar-al-Islam, surrounded by Muslim states in a land once under Muslim control, and yet they are *not* living as dhimmis under the Muslim heel.
They are not only living freely, they are *thriving*. Despite the unending threats and attacks, and the long decades where they had to absorb periodic large infusions of penniless refugee, Israel is a vibrant, modern, innovative, and wealthy country—and this drives Muslims mad.

Certainly fulfills the basic requirements for a reliable negotiating partner for Israel.
Well done Barack! Statesmanship at its best.
That Nobel Prize certainly went to the right dude.

The Torah teaches that Amalek must be destroyed. In every generation, an Amalek has arisen and has been eliminated – the Nazis, the Cossacks, the Crusades, etc. Today, it is the Moslems who must be destroyed.
“Thus says the L-rd of hosts, ‘I have noted what Amalek did to Israel in opposing them on the way when they came up out of Egypt. Now go and strike Amalek and devote to destruction all that they have. Do not spare them, but kill both man and woman, and infant, ox and sheep, camel and donkey.'” (1 Shmuel 15:2-3)

And what if some self-appointed spokesman in the West said –
“We must massacre the Muslims to prevent them from sowing corruption in the world.”
“We must restore them to the state of humiliation imposed upon them by Europe thru colonization.
“They must pay the jizya security tax (in willing submission) while they live in our midst.”
“The worst of beasts in the sight of God are those who believe in Muhammad. They are the ones with whom you make a treaty, but they break their treaty every time.”

And let us make no mistake.
What these perfectly orthodox Mohammedans in Jihad Armed Camp and Military Forward Base Gaza intend to do – if they can – to the Jews of Israel is *also* what other perfectly orthodox Mohammedans intend to do, if they can, to the HIndus and Sikhs of India; and it is, indeed, what they want to do to *every single non-Muslim* on the face of the *planet*. To Russian and Chinese infidels. To aboriginal and non-Aboriginal Australians; to Native Americans and Euro-Americans and Afro-Americans; to *everybody*, everywhere. They want to drag us all down into the dark.
They hate the Jews most; but they *also* hate Hindus with a consuming passion (I have seen that hatred glaring out from assorted mohammedan anti-India postings in this forum, down the years, from time to time), and they hate Christians, and Buddhists, and, basically, everybody who is not a Muslim, and especially anybody who stands up to them and gets in the way of their megalomaniac attempt to achieve Total World Domination.
What *ought* to be happening – and is not, to our eternal shame – is for *every* majority non-muslim country in the world to be resolutely voting NO to every ugly “let’s lynch Israel” ‘resolution’ that is proposed by the Islamintern (the assorted members of the OIC) at the UN. And every non-Muslim country should have their embassy not in Tel Aviv, but in Jerusalem – in the Old City, to boot – as a public statement that they recognise and endorse Jewish sovereignty over traditional Jewish land. And not one cent of infidel money should be going to any “Palestinian” Arab Muslim entity from this day forward.
And the USA would have already turned Iran’s nuke project into a series of enormous smoking holes in the ground; and Russia and China would have made a few ritual expostulations, but been secretly pleased that a lethal “loose cannon” had just been rendered somewhat less lethal.
That’s what would be happening, if the inhabitants and assorted governments of countries in the region that Islam calls the dar al Harb had any commonsense at all.
