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

Saudi TV host under fire for tweeting thanks to Jews, Christians

Feb 13, 2015 12:12 am By Robert Spencer

talha“Muhammad is the apostle of Allah. Those who follow him are merciful to one another, harsh to unbelievers” (Qur’an 48:29)

“Saudi TV host under fire for tweeting thanks to Jews, Christians,” Elder of Ziyon, February 12, 2015 (thanks to The Religion of Peace):

Professor Tariq Habib is a psychologist and TV host who is enormously popular in Saudi Arabia. His Twitter account is followed by nearly 5 million people.

Recently, he underwent a successful kidney transplant. Afterwards, he tweeted his thanks to Christians and Jews who wished him well and who said that they had him in their prayers.

This apparently was too much for many people. Habib  was violently criticized for that tweet.

Ever since, he has been justifying his decision to issue that tweet, saying that a simple expression of thanks does not mean that he believes that Judaism or Christianity are superior to Islam.

He even wrote an entire article slamming those who insulted him for the tweet and somewhat defensively justifying it:

The tyranny of the intellectual energy of verbal chattering, which includes violent attack and intolerance of others that are in some cases no less dangerous than the enemy’s offensive weapons, so that the preoccupation with insults and the culture of hatred is the most dangerous way to waste mental energy of the individual.

…The good word or phrases of thanksgiving or even giving gifts to the Jews and the Christians does not bless their faith or promotes a culture of loyalty to non-Muslims, but it is my job to the principles of Islam, which are based on justice, to appreciate the actions of others .. to demonstrate Islam’s moral pillars….

    Just wait and see what his critics say when it turns out that kidney came from a Jew or Christian… Hmmm…

    Reasonableness within Islam has met an unhappy end since about 1000 A.D.

    When their Muslim “scholars” closed the “Gates of Revision” and declared Allah to be Irrationality apotheosized.

    And here’s one more prayer for Tariq Habib: “May God protect you from those violent idiots and reward you for your good heart and kind words.”

      I agree with your prayer for this man.

    This reminds me of the video of the New York Imam in which he questioned why many muslims refuse to even greet Christians with a “Merry Christmas”. The underlying reason is hatred and a lack of respect of others different to themselves. The very things they themselves accuse everyone else of doing to them!

    Baucent

    Perfectly TRUE and from that time till the END of Islam they utterly SEALED all rational thinking in Muhammad’s seventh century Arabia FOREVER!

    No Muslim (from among 1.5 billions) can ever discuss religion with any logic or rational processes

    All Muslims are utterly Irrational & totally Emotional when addressing the subjects of religion and politics

    This is WHY, 1.5 billion followers of Muhammad in 57 Muslim majority states are the LEAT Productive Inventive and or Creative in human history

    it is my job to the principles of Islam, which are based on justice, to appreciate the actions of others .. to demonstrate Islam’s moral pillars

    Clearly he overlooked some parts of islam – if muslims aren’t supposed to greet non-muslims why would they be allowed to thank non-muslims?

    He misunderstands Islam if he thinks it’s a about justice.

    • el-cid says

      It is about Justice, just not about Peace. Longer story.

      This man is a hero–he goes as far as the ideology will allow to express tolerance and a hope for a better future.

    Those muslims who criticized Christians should stop using hospitals, surgeries or medical drugs, because everything was invented by Western/Christian background scientists.

    Every people in this world should give thanks to the Chistian Nation for these improvements.

    For sure this muslim professor Tariq Habib knows that he’s alive because was assisted by Western (Christian) technology, and felt deeply in debt, returning his feelings to the good (christian) people.

    His stupids low IQ muslims comrades could’nt have done a thing to help him, only placing calmel’s sh*t on his torso and praying and fasting to their moon false god Allah…

    • Oliver says

      Feb 13, 2015 at 2:30 pm

      Gustav,

      While many of the surgeries, medicines etc were developed in Christian majority countries, many were develop0ed by Jews.

      In the current days, many of the leading drugs (for MS, MD & Parkinson’s, to name 3) were deveeloped in Israel, by Israelis. As is a new form (still in experemental stage) for a form of non-invasive surgery. (Do not ask to exxplain, I saw a video on it, but much was beyond me, other then it was using foocused lasers, primarily).

      However, I agree-none come from Muslim run nations.

      • IQ al Rassooli says

        Feb 13, 2015 at 6:13 pm

        Gustav & Oliver, you are BOTH correct because of the FACT that 20% of humanity (Muslims/ Ummat Muhammad)) of 1.5 billions in 57 Muslim majority states are the LEAST Productive, Inventive and or Creative in human history while we Infidels/ Kuffar (80% of none Muslim humanity) whom I call Ummat al Kuffar/ Nation of Infidels (as perceived from the warped mind of Ummat Muhammad), we are the MOST Productive, Inventive, Creative & Powerful in human history BUT most of our clueless, spineless and treacherous leaders among Politicians, Academicians, Clergy & Media are running mindless like a chicken without a head!

        We elected these BASTARDS and we are now paying the price

        Please SUE ME for telling the TRUTH!

    Come on guys, islamo-satanists have brought much to the modern world:
    1. Camel racing
    2. Goat shagging
    3. The self-destructive explosive vest
    4. Burka
    5. Acid facial
    6. Exceedingly pungent body odor
    7. Mindless bloodshed (ok, not entirely their creation but they have raised it to an ungodly level of repugnance)
    8. Head diapers

    Doesn’t this TV Host realize that “taking Jews and Christians for his friends” is HARAM?

    Qur’an (5:51) – “O you who believe! do not take the Jews and the Christians for friends; they are friends of each other; and whoever amongst you takes them for a friend, then surely he is one of them; surely Allah does not guide the unjust people.”

    Qur’an (5:80) – “You will see many of them befriending those who disbelieve; certainly evil is that which their souls have sent before for them, that Allah became displeased with them and in chastisement shall they abide.”

    “In chastisement shall they abide” means that Muslims will go to hell for being friendly with Jews or Christians. The only exception is if they are feigning friendship in order to lull the Infidels into a false sense of security…
