Jihad Watch

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

Muslim cleric: Zionists in Israel so that “promise of Allah will be fulfilled: ‘We have brought you in droves so that it will be easier to slaughter and kill you'”

Aug 27, 2014 9:34 am By Robert Spencer

Sheik Muhammad Abu Rajab, aka Qa’qa’ of Gaza, is quite certain that jihad involves the slaughter of unbelievers, particularly Jews. He is also quite certain that his audience will think the same way. Are “moderate” Muslim leaders in the U.S. doing anything about this massive misunderstanding of Islam? Are Ahmed Rehab and Feisal Abdul Rauf on their way to Gaza to explain to Muhammad Abu Rajab about the true, peaceful meaning of jihad?

“Hamas Sermon: We Pledged before the Commanders of the Jihad to Die for the Sake of Allah,” MEMRI, August 22, 2014:

In a Friday sermon in Khan Yunis, Sheik Muhammad Abu Rajab, a.k.a. Qa’qa’ of Gaza, said, following the killing of three top Hamas commanders: “We pledged before the commanders of the Jihad and resistance to die for the sake of Allah.” My toddler has turned his teddy bear into a make-believe captured soldier, he told the congregation of the Imam Al-Shafi’ Mosque, concluding: “We are preparing for you an army that you cannot match.”

Following are excerpts from the sermon, which was broadcast on Al-Aqsa TV on August 22, 2014:

Sheik Muhammad Abu Rajab: The Zionists gather, from all corners of the world, in Jerusalem and its environs. They occupy and plunder the land so that the promise of Allah will be fulfilled: “We have brought you in droves so that it will be easier to slaughter and kill you.”

Oh Zionists, you know this for a fact. You know this because your stay here is temporary. You live here, but your eyes are set on the airports.

[…]

Know that Jihad for the sake of Allah is not dependent upon any individual. Otherwise, the spread of Islam would have ceased with the death of the Prophet. However, after the death of the Prophet Muhammad, the light of Islam reached the borders of France and of China. Our Jihad is not dependent upon individual people.

[…]

Oh scoundrels, let me deliver a personal message to you. This is a personal message to the commanders of the cowardly army. I have a boy, two and a half years old. Netanyahu and Yaalon, you have been encouraging this conduct in our children, so expect their wrath.

My boy is two and a half years old, brothers. If you want to see for yourselves, I can show him to you. His favorite toy is his teddy bear. Before the war, he used to hug it and play with it, brothers. But today, the teddy bear has turned into [the enemy]. Every day, my boy says: “Where’s the soldier?” He carries it on his back, with a toy gun in his hand. He goes around the house, trying to hide this [kidnapped] soldier.

Can you match that? No, you cannot. We are preparing for you an army that you cannot match, and we await the fulfillment of the promise of Allah.

[…]

We loyal to the vow we made, oh Prophet of Allah. This is a pledge of allegiance to the death, oh Prophet of Allah. We have pledged allegiance to you and to the commanders of the Jihad – to Deif, to Al-Attar, and to Abu Shamalah. We pledged before the commanders of the Jihad and resistance to die for the sake of Allah.

    Does punishing any non-Muslims aware of it count?

      ‘Moderate’ Muslim leaders act like we can treat the symptoms of Islam merely by disassociating the symptoms from the disease itself.
      Pretense at reforming Islam is their back up BS plan, but attempting to reform Islam is like changing a dirty diaper one day and expecting a clean diaper the next. Islam is the full diaper that needs to be tossed away.

    It is SO OBVIOUS to me that islam is a doctrine of Satan when you hear muslim preachers spewing their evil muhammedan rantings-re; butcher
    burn behead, slit throatsl in various combination and permutations. What a vile filthy sick fascist excuse for a religion!

    The much anticipated ‘reformation’ of Islam, is fully under way.

    Unfortunately, the ‘reformation of Islam’ that is occuring before our eyes is a reformation of Islam to its savage origins. Anyone who understands Islam to its core should have anticipated this phenomenon. The ‘secular Islam’ of the last century was the aberration. We are now witnessing Islam’s true face as shown throughout its expansionist history. Islam did not expand through gentle pursuasion or the strength of its theological arguments.

    The multiculturalism of the West has brainwashed the populace with a system of magical thinking that is the equal of any totalitarian state in history. To our ruin, this brainwashing is into a state of cognitive defenselessness against an existential threat.

      “Anyone who understands Islam to its core should have anticipated this phenomenon.”

      Hillaire Belloc saw it coming. De Tocqueville, Churchill, and many so-called Orientalists knew it was possible and wrote about it. But thanks to Edward Said, their books are tantamont to illegal samizdat.

      de Tocqueville:
      I studied the Quran a great deal. I came away from that study with the conviction that by and large there have been few religions in the world as deadly to men as that of Muhammad. As far as I can see, it is the principal cause of the decadence so visible today in the Muslim world and, though less absurd than the polytheism of old, its social and political tendencies are in my opinion more to be feared, and I therefore regard it as a form of decadence rather than a form of progress in relation to paganism itself.

    I notice that it was only when the IAF started taking down apartment buildings did Hamas suddenly get flexible about cease fire terms. As Nonie Darwish has said, Muslims only respect power.

      “As Nonie Darwish has said, Muslims only respect power.”

      FORCE, only FORCE.

      “As the essential principle of his [Muhammad’s] faith is the subjugation of others by the sword; it is only by force, that his false doctrines can be dispelled, and his power annihilated.” John Quincy Adams writing in about 1829

    Oh dear sadly he doesn’t seem to know anything about his own religion. He needs to learn about the real tenets of Islam from experts like Yvette Cooper and (call me Dave) Cameron, they will put him right.

    Hear ye, O slaves of the evil one!

    Know ye not that all who stand against HaShem’s people Israel are dust?
    Know ye not that all thy lies and absurdities were foretold?
    Know ye not that a tiny light is sufficient both to illuminate and ignite?

    But of course ye know not, for ye be islamalek.

    George Weigel has called in The Cube and the Cathedral a “crisis of civilizational morale” that will ensure the West ends not with a bang but with a whimper:

    Were something similar [to the eighth-century destruction of Christian North Africa by Islam] to happen in Europe in the late twenty-first or early twenty-second century, it might not be — indeed it likely would not be — because an Islamist army marched into Western Europe and conquered it. It wouldn’t have to. Europe — in the sense of the civilizational enterprise we identify with the interaction of Jerusalem, Athens, and Rome, a civilization whose modern democratic public life was prepared in the Christian high culture of the Middle Ages — would have handed itself over to its new populations. In significant parts of Europe, the drama of atheistic humanism would have played itself out in the triumph of a thoroughly nonhumanistic theism. The crisis of civilizational morale that Europe is experiencing today would have reached its bitter end in a Europe in which the muezzin summons the faithful to prayer from the central loggia of St. Peter’s in Rome, while Notre-Dame has been transformed into Hagia Sophia on the Seine — a great Christian church become an Islamic museum.

    “Hatred of the non-Muslim is the pivot of Islamic existence.” – Anwar Sheikh

    “They [Muslims] were, upon the whole, from the black day when they first entered Europe, the one great anti-human specimen of humanity. Wherever they went, a broad line of blood marked the track behind them, and, as far as their dominion reached, civilization disappeared from view. They represented everywhere government by forces opposed to government by law.” – William Gladstone – former British Prime Minister.

    A Carlebah on Islam, 1955:

    “These Arab Islamic countries do not suffer from poverty, or disease, or illiteracy, or exploitation; they only suffer from the worst of all plagues: Islam.

    “Wherever Islamic psychology rules, there is the inevitable rule of despotism and criminal aggression.

    ‘The danger lies in Islamic psychology, which cannot integrate itself into the world of efficiency and progress, that lives in a world of illusion, perturbed by attacks of inferiority complexes and megalomania, lost in dreams of the holy sword.

    “The danger stems from the totalitarian conception of the world, the passion for murder deeply rooted in their blood, from the lack of logic, the easily inflamed brains, the boasting, and above all: the blasphemous disregard for all that is sacred to the civilized world…their reactions — to anything — have nothing to do with good sense.

    “They are all emotion, unbalanced, instantaneous, senseless. It is always the lunatic that speaks from their throat.

    “You can talk ‘business’ with everyone, and even with the devil. But not with Allah…

    “This is what every grain in this country [eretz Israel] shouts. There were many great cultures here, and invaders of all kinds. All of them — even the Crusaders — left signs of culture and blossoming.

    “But on the path of Islam, even the flies have died.

    “We pile sin upon crime when we distort the picture and reduce the discussion to a conflict of border between Israel and her neighbors…The heart of the conflict is not the question of the borders; it is the question of Muslim psychology…..”.

    A warning from Karl von Clausewitz for those who aren’t determined in the face of an enemy

    “Kind-hearted people might of course think there was some ingenious way to disarm or defeat an enemy without too much bloodshed, and might imagine this is the true goal of the art of war. Pleasant as that sounds, it is a fallacy that must be exposed: war is such a dangerous business that the mistakes which come from kindness are the very worst.”

    Karl Von Clausewitz, On War, nineteenth century.

    Conor Cruise O’Brien, in the London Times, May 1989

    “Muslim society looks profoundly repulsive…. It looks profoundly repulsive because it is repulsive….

    “A Westerner who claims to admire Muslim society, whilst still adhering to Western values, is either a hypocrite or an ignoramus or a bit of both.

    “At the heart of the matter is the Muslim family, an abominable institution.”

    Hamas, Hezbollah, ISIL, and ISIS have one thing in common: IS LAM and they have recruiting stations all over the US, Europe, and throughout the world, they are called mosques!

    Wake up and smell the peace people!

    I believe this is called threatening speech, we should get a restraining order!

    Oh yeah, they respect no law but their own.

    As others have said, the sheer level of bloodlust is overwhelming. Do they ever take a break from all that and just enjoy their families, a soccer game or a cold beer after work?

    Apparently not.

    I believe that they are a virus-like mutation of the human genome and they share similar characteristics with Ebola: easily spread, dedicated to their cause and fatal to anyone coming within close contact.

    Sheik Muhammad Abu Rajab, a.k.a. Qa’qa’ of Gaza sounds like he is intoxicated on the venom of the Quran and the poison of Islam.

    How is this different from Nazism?

    Aug 28, 2014 at 10:42 pm

    Having listened to this and the many other pro Islam speakers and watched in horror the slaughter and blood letting by knife and gun by the IS , the same question keeps springing to mind “Why is this allowed to continue” ?
