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

Muslim cleric: The Jews “are the enemies of mankind”

Sep 9, 2014 2:34 pm By Robert Spencer

“It is a war of Truth against Falsehood, and both sides have supporters.” That is actually true: this is a war of truth against falsehood. And that’s why we will eventually win. “Preacher on Hamas TV: The Jews Are the Enemies of Mankind,” MEMRI, August 31, 2014:

In an August 31, 2014 TV interview broadcast from Gaza, Palestinian preacher Bahsir Al-‘Ashi said: “The Jews are the enemies of all the nations… The Jews are prepared to sow corruption in the world, and to ignite strife and wars between the nations.” Al-‘Ashi further said: “The killing of children brings joy to the Jews.”

Following are excerpts from the interview, which aired on Hamas’s Al-Aqsa TV.

Bashir Al-‘Ashi: The people occupying Palestine are the enemies of Mankind. The Jews are not the enemies of the Palestinians alone. If I could, I would say this in English, so that the people of the whole world would understand that the Jews are their enemies.

The Jews are the enemies of the Christians worldwide. They are the enemies of the Americans and of all the nations, not just of Palestine and of the Arab and Islamic nation. The Jews are prepared to sow corruption in the world, and to ignite strife and wars between the nations.

The claim that the Jews “sow corruption in the world” comes from the Qur’an. Ironically, it is part of the passage that also contains the oft-cited prohibition against killing. The politicians who quote it to show Islam’s compassion never mention that the passage is actually indicting the Jews and saying that they should be killed in horrible ways for sowing corruption in the world: “Because of that, We decreed upon the Children of Israel that whoever kills a soul unless for a soul or for corruption [done] in the land – it is as if he had slain mankind entirely. And whoever saves one – it is as if he had saved mankind entirely. And our messengers had certainly come to them with clear proofs. Then indeed many of them, [even] after that, throughout the land, were transgressors. Indeed, the penalty for those who wage war against Allah and His Messenger and strive upon earth [to cause] corruption is none but that they be killed or crucified or that their hands and feet be cut off from opposite sides or that they be exiled from the land. That is for them a disgrace in this world; and for them in the Hereafter is a great punishment” (5:32-33)

[…] All the nations need to understand that the most important thing for the Jews and their leaders is to appeal to the sentiment of their people by quenching their thirst for sucking the blood of others. This is what happened [in the war].

The killing of children brings joy to the Jews. The killing of children brings joy to the Jews. The Jewish people rejoice at the killing of children, women, and the elderly, at the uprooting of trees, the plundering of money, and the burning of lands. This is true of all of the Jews, of the entire Jewish people.

All the nations of the world should know that sucking the blood of non-Jews and killing them is in the very nature of the Jews. After all, they are the slayers of the prophets. It is a war of Truth against Falsehood, and both sides have supporters.

The claim that Jews are the slayers of the prophets is also from the Qur’an: “They have been put under humiliation [by Allah ] wherever they are overtaken, except for a covenant from Allah and a rope from the Muslims. And they have drawn upon themselves anger from Allah and have been put under destitution. That is because they disbelieved in the verses of Allah and killed the prophets without right. That is because they disobeyed and [habitually] transgressed.” (3:112)

    I think he is confused between Jews and Muslims. Its actually the Muslims who are the enemies of mankind. Ever since Muslims came into this world they have started killing human s beings. And they have proudly written it in their history books. don’t blame him , he is just as brain dead as other Muslims!!

      I thought I was clear that Muslims are the antithesis of tolerance and Peace. If I was misunderstood, I apologize. Muslims accept Muslims only and then it depends upon it they are the “right” Muslims. Obama is not brain dead, far from it. He knows exactly what he is doing and is pushing the limits within the parameters of what is politically possible. We have never had a President, belittle, denigrate, and disparage the State of Israel especially in public. The Obama Agenda of the Peace “negotiations” was totally in accord with the PA and Anti-Israel, interests. In fact, they probably knew that in the end Israel would have to pull out. The fact that through 3rd parties the US was dealing with Hama to integrate them into the PA to include them within a Peace accord. All this is Obama. So, he is not brain dead. He has stealth MB people that work within the government and they must doing a high five.

      Confused? I don’t think there is anything wrong with what he said except he has got two words transposed. Now if he would swap the words jew and muslim in every case it would be perfect.

  5. Jack Holan says

    Sep 9, 2014 at 2:57 pm

    Obama who claims to be Christian declares Islam to be a religion of tolerance and peace. It’s a shame that each time he makes these statements that the relevant quotes that dispute these claims could not be publicly broadcast on some medium to reach a wide cross-section of the public. I’m sure Wednesday’s speech about IS will portray the IS example of Islam is a perversion of the religion and all the good PC EU leaders will agree. The fight will not be portrayed as a war of ideas, culture, religion in addition to the physical embodiment of all of the those elements. Since this lack of understanding is there, the war is doomed to be lost.

    The Jews are prepared to sow corruption in the world.

    Prepared?! They’ve been doing it for centuries now. Another mistake: define what “it” is. When I look at what Jews do, I see a long rap sheet of scientific discovery, engineering excellence, innovation, philanthropy, personal integrity and artistic genius.

    Sow indeed. And sow what, I axe.

    ***

    The only thing Jews need to apologize to me for is their politics. From Karl Marx to Chuck Schumer, politics so bad that one cannot reconcile it with everything else about them.

    • Beagle says

      Sep 9, 2014 at 3:38 pm

      From a Saudi Wahhabi perspective, Jews advancing technology and science is probably sowing corruption, or at least bid’ah. Without knowing about bid’ah, I bet both are punshable by death in Islam. What isn’t? Not sure if bid’ah would require an opposite hands and feet sentence.

      Sounds like a question for Ask The Imam. Maybe he could explain what opposite adds to hands and feet. Seems like the plural means one would cut off both hands and both feet. Anyway, I’m sure Allah knows best.

      @Alarmed Pig Farmer

      “The only thing Jews need to apologize to me for is their politics. From Karl Marx to Chuck Schumer, politics so bad that one cannot reconcile it with everything else about them.”

      You’re doing almost the same thing that that goat fucker in the article is doing. Expecting “The Jews” to “apologize” for the deeds of individual Jews, is ANTISEMITIC! All Jew are culpable for what individuals who happen to be Jews do. Where did we here that in the past?

      I don’t even like the fact that I have to defend Karl Marx but the guy was a philosopher! Nobody had to accept his theories or implement them so nobody needs to “apologize” for him.

      • Alarmed Pig Farmer says

        Sep 9, 2014 at 4:38 pm

        Marx was most assuredly not a philosopher. He was a fake economist who delivered in his magnum opus Das Kapital fraudulent income statistics on personal income in England over several decades during the Industrial Revolution. The bad statistics — a perversion of the records kept by the Englishmen, who had a reputation for keeping truthful records — was pointed out by English officials and economists at the time of the book’s publication. But that was lost in the mad en masse rush for Other People’s Money, a stampede that hasn’t abated since.

        Expecting “The Jews” to “apologize” for the deeds of individual Jews, is ANTISEMITIC!

        True, but expecting that for a massive pattern over many decades is not.

        … culpable for what individuals who happen to be Jews do…

        We got the “who happen to be… cliche after major cities were burned and looted in the 60s and 70s. It is to the credit of Jews that they only imbibe in socialist politics, a system that is failing across the globe as we speak. That’s a lot better than felony criminal behavior as a political tool (and a great way to come into arm loads of expensive consumer goods).

        “I don’t even like the fact that I have to defend Karl Marx but the guy was a philosopher! Nobody had to accept his theories or implement them so nobody needs to “apologize” for him.”

        Whether the guy was philosopher, beside being debatable, is irrelevant. The fact is that you not only don’t “have to defend” him, but shouldn’t do so considering the guy was a totalitarian psychopath whose vision of bloody world revolution leading to classless, godless society were so eagerly accepted and implemented by murderous ideologists of the 20 century. There is a clear red line leading from Marx to Lenin, Trotsky, Stalin, Hitler, Mao, Pol-Pot, Castro…
        Besides, “the guy” was a raving anti- Semite.

          Just to add to your assessment, thomas_h, and in keeping in the spirit of being anti-Marxist, which I most defninitely am, if I could go back in time and kill three people before they impacted upon the world scene, my three choices would be 1) Mohammed, 2) Marx, and 3) Hitler. Quite a terrible trinity, no?

          Hope you’re doing well, my friend. Take care.

          Nobody has to convince me that Marxism was/is an awful idea. Like most utopian theories, they might look good on paper but are awful in reality. There have been and are THOUSANDS of academics and “philosophers” in their own minds who come up with ridiculous and damaging theories. Those to blame are the ones who adopt those ideas.

        • thomas_h says

          Sep 10, 2014 at 9:47 am

          Excellent choice of the most unholy trinity, dear Wellington. Definitely deserving a reduction to Zeronity.

          As my anti-marxist sentiments are probably as solid as yours I would welcome an opportunity to accompany you in your time travel so I can lend you a hand in your noble enterprise and perhaps suggest a few stopovers where I will try, with your kind assistance, improve the course of History by intervening resolutely in the future of a few individuals. But we can always talk about it once we’re on our way.
          I just hope time-travel is not too time-consuming (yes, pun definitely intended) so we don’t find out upon our return that we have been dead for some years.
          Take care, my friend.
          Hasta luego.

          @Silvia

          I never intended to convince you Marxism is an awful idea. Your comments suggest a reasonable author able to figure that out himself.
          I just wanted to point out that ideas have consequences – intended or unintended – and sometimes catastrophic. Marx’s ideas/theories were not just harmless toying with abstract concepts for his own amusement. The fact that his mind product was delivered with fanatical obsession, hate, contempt for opposition is not really terribly important here. What is important is that it had
          1. address because it aimed at definite group of fanatics in search of unifying ideology and overall strategy and
          2. it was delivered with fully detailed action plan.

          You know, there are some mad tinkers who use the internet to propagate methods of bomb assembling, poisonous gas production, murder, deadly sabotage etc. Now and then we hear that a madman, an idealist, avail himself of that knowledge and succeeds in murdering innocents. Should we ignore the connection between the one who publishes the blueprint of a bomb and one who makes the bomb using thsat blueprint?
          Well, Marx was a mad tinker who published the blueprint of a bomb designed to explode history once it gets into the hands of evil men. And it quickly landed just there.

          You say: “Like most utopian theories, they might look good on paper but are awful in reality. “
          Well, at last in the case of Marxism the idea looks as awful on the paper as in reality.

    • Wellington says

      Sep 9, 2014 at 4:51 pm

      Quite true, Champ. The Jews are indeed a very impressive people, virtually none greater, though I do wish more of them would realize that modern liberalism is actually a menace to Jews and to Israel. The staunchest friend Israel has anywhere in the world is the American conservative, though, sadly, not enough Jews understand this.

      As for what the Muslim cleric who is the subject of this article said, well, I submit, we have major projection operating again. Muslims as a group are easily the greatest enemy of mankind, and especially the freest portion of mankind, i.e., the West. The freest people have the most to lose whenever and wherever Islam becomes ascendant.

      Hope you, family and, most particularly, little William are doing fine. Take care, my friend.

      Some of the best doctors are Jewish. I speak from the experience of being a patient.
      Oh the other hand, a couple of muslims *doctors* I had the misfortune to see, could not speak English clearly and when asked to repeat their questions/dx/instructions, screamed that I should be able to understand English and refused to repeat what was said. And were unprofessional in other ways as well.
      The Jews aren’t perfect, but then neither is any other group of people perfect. But the muslims, who claim superiority over the rest of us humans, have the worst set of living instructions in all of the world’s history from beginning to the present.
      They will be judged on the basis of their speech (lies) and actions (murder, rape, etc.) and the Judge will not be their false god or *prophet*.

      • Champ says

        Sep 9, 2014 at 9:16 pm

        Yes, I have also received excellent care from my Jewish doctor’s, Somehistory. And I’ve never seen a muslim doctor, but I can certainly see that sort of thing happening to a patient, and I’m sorry that this happened to you. Wow what a rude *doctor*! …shocking, but not surprising.

        • somehistory says

          Sep 9, 2014 at 11:04 pm

          Champ, thank you for your kindness. Glad you never had such and that you found good doctors. One learns from experiences…those of one’s own and that of others. Life is precious and worth preserving if possible.

          The beast of islam will not live very much longer, although many are trying to preserve it by any and all means, esp deceit, such as from this man in the article.
          A lie was the beginning of all evil. And enmity was set between those practicing good and those practicing evil deceit from that time forward.

    It is quite ironic, if we replace the word “Jews” with the word “Muslims”, every single word this brain dead Mozzie zombie utters is in fact the absolute God-honest truth…

    Let’s try it:

    Bashir Al-‘Ashi: The people occupying Palestine (Gaza and the West Bank) are the enemies of Mankind. The Muslims are not the enemies of the Palestinians alone. If I could, I would say this in English, so that the people of the whole world would understand that the Muslims are their enemies.

    (Let’s examine this fact….1. Persecutions of Minorities in almost every Islamic country.
    2. Over 22,000 Islamic attacks on the Kufar since 9/11,
    3. The creation of Islamic terror groups like Al, Quaida, Boko Haram, Al Nusra, ISIS, etc.. spreading the wrath of Islam worldwide,
    4. Muslim unrest and violence in almost every single European country )

    “The Muslims are the enemies of the Christians worldwide. (see #1)
    They are the enemies of the Americans and of all the nations, not just of Palestine and of the Arab and Islamic nation. (see #2)
    The Muslims are prepared to sow corruption in the world, and to ignite strife and wars between the nations. (see #4)

    “…. The killing of children brings joy to the Muslims. The killing of children brings joy to the Muslims. The Muslim people rejoice at the killing of children, women, and the elderly, at the uprooting of trees, the plundering of money, and the burning of lands. …”

    Truth be told, the very nature of Islam is deception and lies. Islam’s founder is Satan; the father of lies…
