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

Miami: CAIR/ICNA protesters scream “We are Hamas!,” genocidal jihad chant

Jul 24, 2014 6:20 pm By Robert Spencer

It’s ironic that they would chant, “We are Hamas,” since the links of CAIR and ICNA to Hamas are well documented, but often denied by the top dogs of each organization.

And as for the Khaybar chant, as I explain in my book The Truth About Muhammad, this chant refers to Muhammad’s unprovoked massacre of Jews at the Khaybar oasis in northern Arabia. When modern-day Muslims invoke Khaybar, they are doing much more than just recalling the glory days of Islam and its prophet: they are recalling an aggressive, surprise raid by Muhammad which resulted in the final eradication of the once considerable Jewish presence in Arabia. To Islamic supremacists, Khaybar means the destruction of the Jews and the seizure of their property by the Muslims.

“CAIR-Affiliated Protest: ‘We Are Hamas!,'” by Danielle Avel, Breitbart News, July 23, 2014:

Decked out in keffiyahs and stocked with vulgar posters, anti-Israel demonstrators have been descending upon cities across the United States rallying for what they call peace. One such group gathered on Sunday, July 20, 2014, just blocks from the Israeli consulate in Miami.

The flier for this protest declares, “Stop the bombing – Stop the Killing – Free Palestine” and includes logos from: the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) Florida, the Islamic Circle of North America (ICNA), Students for Justice in Palestine, the American Muslim Association of North America, American Muslims for Emergency & Relief, Syrian American Council of South Florida, and the American Muslims Foundation. Some of these groups have thousands of members across the country and their leaders are often featured prominently in the news as being representative of the Muslim-American community.

The event’s Facebook page indicates additional coalition sponsors including: Al-Awda Coalition, National Lawyers Guild (South Florida), CAIR among others. The same page declares the purpose of the event was “to support peace, liberation, and human rights.”

And initially, one mostly heard peaceful-sounding slogans like “Viva, Viva Palestina” and “No more killing, no more war.” These were interspersed with others like “From the river to the sea, Palestine will be free” which means eliminating the Jewish State.

The “peace” aspect, however, was completely forgotten whenever a suspected Zionist appeared. One such man filming the event was accosted in a threatening manner by about six protestors, with one grabbing his arms from behind. The police had to calm the crowd as some rushed towards a passing vehicle carrying an Israeli flag. Later in the day, a small group of about eight Israel supporters arrived. At that point, the anti-Israel demonstrators shifted their focus to the pro-Israel group (watch video):

The anti-Israel protestors became increasingly hostile, to the point of invoking outrageous Islamist slogans.

In Arabic, they screamed:

“The martyr is God’s love.” This encourages one to die while committing Jihad — it is a celebration of terror attacks including suicide bombings.
“Khaybar, Khaybar Oh, Jew. Muhammad’s army will return.” This refers to a seventh-century massacre in which Muhammad’s army attacked the Jewish community of Khaybar in the Arabian Peninsula. The Jewish males who surrendered were beheaded; Muhammad and his soldiers then divided the women, children, and property. Islamists today routinely invoke this battle as a rallying cry to attack Jews.

In English, they yelled:

“We are Hamas!” openly confirming support for a group officially designated a terrorist organization by the United States, the European Union, Japan, Jordan, and Egypt.
“We are Jihad!” thereby calling for holy war.
“Hamas kicked your ass.” That makes for an interesting contradiction: While claiming Gazans are being massacred, the group also claims to have defeated the Israel Defense Forces. Which is it?

Eventually, an Israel supporter calls out, “We’re in America, that’s where we are… we’re not Gaza over here,” a self-proclaimed Hamas fan screams back in Hebrew with an Arabic accent, “Son of a bitch” and “Go to Hell!” along with an obscene arm gesture.

These outrageous, vulgar, and violent sentiments provide insight into the real views of groups like CAIR, ICNA, and the others listed on the event flier. “Peace” protestors sponsored by these groups are normally able to stay relatively polite and on message, however, the appearance of Israel supporters sent them into a revelatory frenzy of great importance. Not all of the demonstrations these groups promote will contain such overtly hostile messaging, but as the video proves, peaceful-sounding chants are synonymous with calls to war.

Anti-Israel fanatics are predictable in that they utilize a constant theme of claiming to be victims while simultaneously inciting hatred and violence. What isn’t predictable is what they will chant in public. When similar protests take place, one should keep in mind the true motivation behind these “peace” mobs.

    Just one more piece of evidence that Muslims in America can’t do America any good but only harm, the degree of such harm being the only variable.

    The US and all Western nations are now being confronted on multiple fronts, and in multiple ways, by a spiritual ideology which is completely destructive of Western ideals of freedom and equality under the law. One knows this or should know it.

    This is no joke. Indeed, nothing could be more deadly serious. And damn to hell all those on the left (and still some on the right) who continue to make excuses for a religion which is as inimical to the best the West has produced as Nazism and Marxism were.

    The fundamental problem remains and that is that Islam still gets a pass. It is still described as something good and its most “enthusiastic” adherents as not representative of the true Islam (the “tiny minority of extremists” and all that rot). Well, I submit to all that the more “enthusiastic” the Muslim, the more that Muslim has Islam right, has Islam down pat.

    I will put it another way. Here it is: The more devout the Muslim, the more likely that barbarism, the eradication of freedom and the elimination of equality under the law will prevail. Just look to Hamas, Hezbollah, ISIS and Boko Haram for confirmation here. And organizations like CAIR and ICNA are nothing but covers for these egregious groups.

    Anyone care to dispute me? I will take on all comers. Go ahead, make my decade.

      I for one don’t dispute what you say. Belief in a system that runs completely counter to scientific knowledge and childhood common sense such as Islam can be a very dangerous thing. Total belief results in a mind set that only sees true happiness and pleasure on the other side of death if, and only if, that death is gained in service to Allah by strictly following the disgusting tenets set out in the koran. Thus the willingness to sacrifice, murder, suicide bomb and suffer that appears to be so prevalent within Islam.

      Of course, it is likely many of the “true believers” are really non believers taking advantage of the true believers to live a posh life as leaders in the here and now.

      And we got a billion of ’em to contend with: Poor world.

      You are right on target Mr. Wellington. “I will put it another way. Here it is: The more devout the Muslim, the more likely that barbarism, the eradication of freedom and the elimination of equality under the law will prevail.” I totally agree. I read that barbaric handbook, otherwise known by Hillary, Obama and General Patrias as the “HOOLLLYYY KORAN”. I am appalled. I don’t think any of them have actually READ the koran. I have and I felt I needed a bath.
      Ever since Sept 11th, 2001, and each year that goes by, I watch the memorials. When did we get to the point that we FORGOT the attackers and began to SWEET-TALK about the institution of islam than BROUGHT it to us?
      Clearly all these years later we have a big clue-phone that islam ‘ain’t the religion of peace.’ when I heard our Leader of the Free World say it was his responsibility as President “That experience guides my conviction that partnership between America and Islam must be based on what Islam is, not what it isn’t. And I consider it part of my responsibility as president of the United States to fight against negative stereotypes of Islam wherever they appear.” WHAT???
      WHAT??
      When did islam get a ‘get out of jail free,” card in the United States of America? Islam the religion of hatred and murder? That brought us Sept 11th 2001?
      Boston bombers murdering people out for a day of running and fun?
      Islam= murder, rape, hatred, intolerance. Read it and learn for yourselves, buy a second-hand copy from the goodwill store, or second hand bookstore, don’t buy a ‘new’ one or some idiot from CAIR will say how sales of korans are at an all time high. We can burn them later…….after all they are in ENGLISH so they aren’t HOOOOLLLLYYYYY.

  10. dumbledoresarmy says

    Jul 25, 2014 at 1:06 am

    From the article – “rallying for what they call peace”.

    And – the event’s FB page ‘declares the purpose of the event was “to support peace, liberation, and human rights.”’

    All one needs to do, to resolve the apparent contradiction between this talk of “peace” “liberation” and “human rights” (and the words “justice” and “oppression” will often also appear in the rhetoric of such outfits), is this – to remember that Islamspeak has assigned its own very special technical Islamic meaning to these terms.

    “Peace” = Muslims ruling the world and sharia imposed on all.
    “Liberation” = Muslims achieving dominance, Infidels crushed under foot; because in any situation where Muslims are *not* dominant, they are ipso facto “oppressed”.
    “Human rights” = the right of the Muslim mob (and within the Mob, the alpha Muslim males) to dominate and domineer over everyone else. If they are not able to do this, they consider themselves terribly hard done by.

    here’s a classic article on the subject of Islamspeak. The accompanying jihadwatch thread offers some additional definitions.

    http://www.jihadwatch.org/2006/07/islamic-dictionary-for-infidels

    A very useful paragraph from that essay, to bear in mind at present, as we interpret events in Gaza, is this:

    “Aggression is something only infidels do.

    “The Crusades were a brief and isolated episode in European history, whereas Jihad has been a constant feature of the Islamic world for more than 1300 years, fixed in the Koran and Islamic core texts. Still, Muslims want Europeans to apologize for the Crusades, although they were, as Bernard Lewis and other have pointed out, a belated, defensive reaction against centuries of Islamic aggression.

    “This is because, as Tibi has demonstrated, it is not seen as aggression or war when Muslims attack non-Muslims.

    “On the contrary, it is seen as aggression when non-Muslims resist the Islamization of their lands and thus “place obstacles in the way” of the spread of Islam. They are defying the will of Allah.

    “Since subjugation to Islam alone can bring peace, Muslims consider themselves to be “spreading peace” when they raid, maim and kill from Europe to Central Asia.”

    “War” is when infidels resist jihad in any way at all (it doesn’t even have to be militarily). But Muslims violently attacking Infidels in order to subject them to Muslim rule and the sharia, is not “war”. It’s just “opening”…

    It is also worth remembering that all kuffar are by definition “guilty” (guilty of rejecting Islam) and all Muslims qua Muslims are “innocent”. So when the Muslims wail about “innocent” victims in Gaza, they are counting *all* dead Muslims – including their terror jihad raiders with kalashnikovs clutched in their hands – as “innocents”.

  11. dumbledoresarmy says

    Jul 25, 2014 at 1:13 am

    Clarification – “All one needs to do, to resolve the apparent contradiction between this talk of “peace” “liberation” and “human rights” (and the words “justice” and “oppression” will often also appear in the rhetoric of such outfits), and the ugliness and outright aggression rapidly manifested at the actual rallies (especially when Jews and supporters of Israel come into their sights) is this…”.

    Last week in Melbourne the young Aussie Leftists were shouting “Allahu Ackbar” and the shahada along with their new chums, at the pro-Palestine (ie anti-Israel, anti-Jew) rally. Did they have any concept of what they were saying? The “Students for Palestine” mob have achieved unbelievable success; it wouldn’t surprise me if these kids will be saying the shahada in earnest soon.

    • dumbledoresarmy says

      Jul 26, 2014 at 5:43 am

      PJG – so those young fools were actually *reciting the shahada* along with the Muslims? That is *appalling*.

      Might be interesting, if one could get the chance, to ask them whether they know that from the Muslim POV, if you say the shahada with Muslims as witnesses, you are deemed to have *converted to Islam*?? And then ask them whether they’ve been told that if someone converts to Islam, s/he must be KILLED if s/he subsequently tries to leave.

      yes, my powder is dry, and as a woman, the koran and islam are worrisome for free people and free women – be aware of what the koran teaches. Suri 4:34 beating of one’s wife. Overall the koran chapter, or Suri, 4 on WOMEN: value of a woman 1/2 that of a man, 1/2 inheritance rights, and Mohaa said himself that HELL WAS FULL OF WOMEN (hahaha) and that women live off men’s wealth so they should be obedient wives or be beaten. He set 4 wives for others, and his # was 11 or more, women ‘deserved’ the beatings as they are the offenders to anger men, all appalling crap from a 7th century barbarian and its hard to believe women buy into this drivel – then wonder why they and their female relatives are murdered in “honor killings.” A woman who is raped needs 4 male witnesses (??!!) or she is committing adultery. Leave islam, leave 7th century barbarism, dressing like a black trash bag, leave honor killings, go for freedom.

    Khaybar, Khaybar Ya Muslimeen, Halak Muhammad Da Yaqeen” (“Khaybar, Khaybar, O Muslims, Muhammad’s Destruction Is Assured”)
    THE NEW chant….courtesy of Dr. David Wood’s ACTS17Apologetics and answeringmuslims.com
    Check out the video by David:
    “Rembembering Khybar:Published on Jul 24, 2014
    http://www.answeringmuslims.com/2014/…
    Muslim rallies against Israel often include the chant, “Khaybar, Khaybar, Ya Yahud! Jaish Muhammad Sa Ya’ud!” (“Khaybar, Khaybar, O Jews! The Army of Muhammad Will Return!”). Interestingly, Muhammad was poisoned at Khaybar, and he suffered like a dog for 3 years in agony prior to his death. A Jewish woman served him poisoned sheep dinner after he murdered her father and husband at Khybar, so when the mohammadans chant about Khaybar being a big Jewish defeat, they have forgotten the poisoning of the pedophile prophet, a fitting end. His men had to drag him around, the poison took a long time to work thru his system, Sahih el Bukhari 4428 says that ‘his feet dragged behind him as his men lifted him.” So much like “Weekend at Bernies” Mohaha got what he dished out….at the hands of a Jewish woman. Why this isn’t taken and used by women who are brualized in the name of islam makes me wonder. Herbs are such miraculous cures….or not.

    The new chant.., “Khaybar, Khaybar Ya Muslimeen, Halak Muhammad Da Yaqeen” (“Khaybar, Khaybar, O Muslims, Muhammad’s Destruction Is Assured”).

    REMEMBER at KHAYBAR a Jewish defeat, a Jewish woman poisoned Mohaha with a poisoned sheep dinner. The fool ate her dinner – knowing they killed her father and husband. Took him 3 long painful years to die, as the poison worked thru him. He died in agony… dragged around my two men, his feet dragging behind him (like Weekend at Bernies) David’s reference: Sahih el Bukhari 4428.

    From http://miamiherald.typepad.com/nakedpolitics/2014/07/pro-hamas-demonstrator-at-miamis-friendship-torch-im-gonna-kill-youand-all-the-israelis.html#storylink=cpy:

    ‘The event’s organizers, who staged the rally near the Israeli consulate, say nothing about Hamas on their Facebook page. So it’s an after-the-fact inference to assume that the scores of demonstrators pictured at the event back Hamas.

    ‘“In solidarity with our occupied sisters and brothers of Palestine, activists are uniting in South Florida to support peace, liberation, and human rights,” the organizers, a coalition of Muslim- and Palestinian-rights groups,said on Facebook.

    ***

    ‘To be clear, the video indicates that the entire crowd was not chanting in favor of Hamas and jihad. The pro-Hamas group (and the even smaller band of angry men) was one clique out of many. The event’s organizers include the Al-Awda Coalition, Students for Justice in Palestine (SJP)-FL, POWIR, Broward Green Party, CAIR, National Lawyers Guild (South Florida), Students for Justice in Palestine (SJP) – FAU, and Students for Justice in Palestine (SJP) – FIU.

    ‘“We call for an end to Israel’s massacre on the Palestinians of GAZA,” the organizers said. “We call on the US government to condemn Israeli aggression and human rights violations and to immediately cut off the $3 billion of U.S. taxpayer dollars that the U.S. sends to Israel annually. We call on mainstream U.S. media to stop with its biased reporting and to hear more Palestinian voices.”’
