What? Jihad? Not “dialogue”? Why doesn’t Pope Francis sit down with Sheikh Muhammad-Rashid al-Qabbani and explain to him how “authentic Islam and the proper reading of the Koran are opposed to every form of violence”? That will clear up the Grand Mufti’s misunderstanding of Islam in a trice.
“Former Grand Mufti of Lebanon: No way except jihad to liberate Palestine,” Iran’s state-run Ahlul Bayt News Agency, September 27, 2015:
Ahlul Bayt News Agency – In regard to the Israel army’s storming of Jerusalem’s al-Aqsa Mosque and its precincts the former Grand Mufti of Lebanon, Sheikh Muhammad-Rashid al-Qabbani, said in a statement that the superpowers have supported and continue to support state terrorism against Palestine and the Palestinian people since the establishment of the so-called State of Israel as a Western colony on the Arab lands of Palestine in 1948.
He added that these Zionist terrorist groups, including the Haganah and the Stern Gang, committed massacres in Deir Yassin and burned and shelled many Palestinian homes and villages with their tanks and artillery.
Shaykh al-Qabbani added that the Western countries who established the Zionist colony in Palestine are responsible for the extermination of the Palestinian people and their expulsion from their homeland and all the crimes committed by Israel since 1948, which included brutal massacres and genocide.
The Lebanese Sunni scholar said that the Zionists’ recent acts of terrorism against the al-Aqsa Mosque and its precincts, which included the storming, siege and the killing of worshipers at his holy site, should be nothing except the signs of the beginning of a battle to liberate of Jerusalem and all of Palestine and completely eliminate this Western colony of terrorism in Palestine [Israel].
His Eminence stressed that all Arab and Muslim armies must participate in this battle.
He explained that Israel and all the countries which support it are involved in schemes to ignite sectarian wars between Arabs and Muslims and divide them in order to prevent their unity as this will lead to liberation of Palestine.
“Do Arabs and Muslims and their countries realize this apparent and hidden deception among their people and countries?” he asked….
The former Grand Mufti of Lebanese added that in the Holy Quran, God told us: “Do not slacken in the pursuit of these people. If you are suffering, they are also suffering like you, but you expect from God what they do not expect” [4:104] and added that there is no way to liberate Palestine without jihad in the way of God and that compromise with the Zionists will only cause further damage and keep Palestine in the hands of the occupiers.
“God has promised victory over the deceptive Israeli enemy and the promise of God is the truth,” he added.

Another mouthpiece of satan the devil, working hard to establish the beast as ruler over all mankind
When one looks at the eyes of these guys, they are all dead. The mouth works but only because the demons are within, making the lips and vocal cords and tongue spew hate filled lies straight from satan.

They are so far removed from us in nearly every way. How can we not end up at war globally with them?
Angemon says
Riiiiiing! Riiiiiiiing!
Hello? Sheik? Hi, this is 1948 Egypt, Jordan, Iraq, Syria and Saudi Arabia (also, Lebanon says ‘hi’). We contacted our 1967 counterparts, crossed-checked facts and reached a conclusion: you’re full of s***.

It goes back much further than that long before the Muslim hordes invaded to the ancient lands of Israel, Judea and Samaria.
Of course Muslims have no other choice but to inveigle themselves and poop in their neighbors garden because Muhammad’s Mecca has no foundation and the Muslim solution to this is not the impossible task to lift up Mecca but to invade the Holy Land.
Westman says
The “unified forces of islam”(the ultimate oxymoron) couldn’t defeat a new country, Israel, that had no Air Force, in 1948. Every time they try, the size of Israel Increases. How much of Lebanon would Sheikh Muhammad-Rashid al-Qabbani like to lose?
Why would any coalition of Muslims think they had any chance in the 21st century against the nuclear-armed Israel?
The Quran is forgery of Diety’s intentions, whether by Muhammad or the scholars that may have invented him. There is absolutely no evidence that Allah is paying the slightest attention to the Palestinians or the Muslim countries longing for the destruction of Israel.
The fighting and disunity among Muslim nations is solid proof that Islam has no long-term future without significant reform.

The Jews fight with GOD at their side, while those moslems fight with Allah and mo at their side. No contest.

No way to end jihad, except to eliminate islam…..
Western Canadian says
Actually, as someone who has studied several religions, and claim membership in none…. I have always been intrigued by the book of Zephenia (SP?), where it says the Jews would return to where they are in the middle east…. And G-D, not allah, would turn away their enemies…. THAT, I find very interesting. And it’s even better being right up that idiot imams (redundant, I know) nose!!

Zephaniah. And I like that one too. It isn’t the only one, by far.
dumbledoresarmy says
Me, I like Zechariah 2: 5. I was reading it just this morning.
“For I, saith the LORD, will be unto her [Jerusalem] a wall of fire round about her; and will be the glory in the midst of her.”
That is my prayer not just for Jerusalem in this present hour, but for all Israel; that the Holy One may place a wall of fire all around her.
Karen says
Who’s afraid of Jihad? That’s just my struggle to floss twice a day.
“..Israel and all the countries which support it are involved in schemes to ignite sectarian wars between Arabs and Muslims ….blah blah blah”. If that’s true, then why do you keep falling for it, dummy? (Cause it’s not true, that’s why.)
David says
I wonder how many Muslims would be left if the penalty for apostasy was $5 instead of a painful death?
Huck Folder says
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yusuf_al-Qaradawi
“In February 2013, on an episode of Shariah and Life show, which broadcast on Al-Jazeera, Qaradawi stated since the 15th century, the application of the death penalty for those who leave Islam is a necessity, stating, “If they had gotten rid of the apostasy punishment ISLAM WOULDN’T EXIST TODAY.”
Michael Copeland says
WHY ISLAM STILL EXISTS
You’re killed if you leave, your neck cut with a knife,
To ensure that the members all stay.
If it weren’t for the penalty taking your life,
It wouldn’t exist today.
No, it wouldn’t exist today.
mortimer says
Jihad is the perfect contradiction of equality. Jihad gives Muslims the right to dominate and subjugate and enslave and ethnically cleanse and plunder and exterminate Kafirs.
There is no equality in Islam between Muslims and Kafirs or between men and women.
Jihad is the proof of Islam’s religious intolerance and political supremacism.
Jay Boo says
Not quite Mortimer
Jihad (Claims to give) Muslims the right to dominate and subjugate.
The slave trade pig bath ideology of Islam has nothing to do with religion.
Muslims should not wash before prayers but after prayers.
duh_swami says
Jihad is the way, the only way to defeat Israel and those filthy joo’s…
Don’t expect peace to break out any time soon…One state, two states, or ten states, the jihad against Israel will continue, because Allah said so.
Don’t expect Israel top sit still for this…..

How come the whole world feels like a heavy burden has been lifted whenever one of these incessant windbags kicks the bucket????
