“This is a message to all the Jews, who are the Muslims’ No. 1 enemy,” says the Islamic State jihadi in the video. Why, from the Qur’an: “You will surely find the most intense of the people in animosity toward the believers to be the Jews” (5:82). Not that this has anything to do with Islam.
“We are coming for you, Islamic State warns in new Hebrew video to Israelis,” Times of Israel, October 23, 2015 (thanks to Pamela Geller):
The Islamic State terror group posts a video in Hebrew supposedly addressed to an Israeli audience warning that “not one Jew will be left alive” in the country.
A masked man in green fatigues faces the camera and speaks in fluent, if slightly French-accented, Hebrew.
“This is a message to all the Jews, who are the Muslims’ No. 1 enemy,” he says.
“The real war has not begun and everything you have experienced so far has been child’s play — nothing compared to what will happen to you soon enough, inshallah [God willing].”
“We promise you that soon, not one Jew will be left [alive] in Jerusalem or across Israel and we will continue until we eradicate this disease [Judaism?] from the world,” he goes on.
“Look at what has happened to you in a few vehicular and stabbing attacks from our brothers in Palestine,” he mocks. “You lost your minds and started fearing every driver that sped up. You were even scared of every person carrying something in their hand.
“What will happen to you when tens of thousands [of Muslim fighters] arrive from across the world to slaughter you?” he wonders.
“The borders of Sykes-Picot will not protect you, and like we blurred the borders between Syria and Iraq, we will do so between Syria and Jordan and then Syria and Palestine,” he says in reference to the 1916 secret agreement between France and and the UK to divide the Arab provinces of the Ottoman Empire.
“This isn’t just talk,” he says — if one wasn’t yet convinced that the Islamic State doesn’t just talk. “We will advance towards you from everywhere, from the north and the south, from Sinai, from everywhere.
“We see your crimes every day and we will settle scores,” he says, before pulling out a knife from his vest and citing a verse from the Koran promising victory to Muslims.

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.”

The Obama / Kerry regime cannot even allow themselves to call the actions of ISIS (provocative) without accidentally and rightfully implicating Islam.
Here is where John Kerry will implore that —
— “All sides must come together for a solution”

The new Nazis are Muslims.
The new Third Reich is ISIS.
The new Hitler is the Caliph.
mortimer says
It is obvious that most Muslims believe the Koran is right in its bigotry directed against Jews and believe that Mohammed was right to ethnically cleanse Jews from Arabia.
But most Muslims are indecisive about the barbarous savagery of ISIS and do not want to support it publicly. Muslims are caught between the contradiction between modern HUMAN RIGHTS CODES and a BRONZE-AGE MURDEROUS DEATH CULT.
They refuse to take sides, so MUSLIMS ARE FAVORING ISIS against civilization.

It’s in their book and it’s their histrory and it’s their future.
Westman says
“You will surely find the most intense of the people in animosity toward the believers to be the Jews” Quran(5:82).
This is nothing more than classical projection by Muhammad or his 8th & 9th Century creators to destroy the most slavery-resistant culture. It is Islam that carries animosity for all “unbelievers”, saving the most vitriolic for Jews.
Israel was the coal mine Canary of the past and is now being joined by Europe. What happens there will determine the free world’s attitude about Islam for generations.
Islam has forgotten that there were wars fought before it existed by polytheists who were not fighting for their God’s objectives but rather supplicated their Gods for support. Only Islam’s Allah requires the slavery of all mankind to a pathological stasis.
The opposite of Sharia is Freedom, a sufficient objective for war since the beginning of organized society. Even foolish liberals who wish to create an egalitarian society with other peoples means, will, in the end fight for control of their lives. The question at hand is will they be foolish until it is too late, or will they realize the fulfillment of their dream was a tyrannical tool, as damaging to society as past “isms” and a ready vehicle for Islam’s enslavement?
Unless the trend of Islamic violence reverses, the world is being driven toward another world-level war for freedom. Every world war has exceeded the previous in its level of brutality and scope; eventually involving the destruction of civilians. The next world war will begin with the destruction of civilian populations on a scale previously unknown.
Allah apparently didn’t know Geography any better than Muhammad who thought the Sun moved around the Earth and didn’t know the American continent existed. Today the majority of “believers” could be gone in a single day, something Muhammad could never have imagined. Historically, Islam has made a pest of itself until there was a violent pushback followed by a period of latency. Islam is again rising in militancy with a foolish bravado that assumes there is no higher level of violence to which the West will rise; the West being trapped in its weak liberalism.

The jihadists thugs who compose the brutal and deadly jihad entity, with all their murderous intentions , are both wicked and insane. So much so that they are reflected ,in character, .to the wicked and insane villains written about in the Bible Which teaches “The hearts of men are full of evil and their is madness in their hearts while they live, and afterward they join the dead.” Ecclesiastes 9;3. [N.I.V] For the jihadists of ISIS are ,indeed, evil. This they shown in that they have the vicious desire to murderous all of the Jewish people. Furthermore, aside for those murderous intentions towards the Jewish people the ISIS savages have also proven that they are evil,time and time again, by the very own cruel, callous , ruthless , malice-filled malicious and murderous actions. Moreover that the ISIS savages are also mad [insane]. For they have shown they are that they actually so deluded that they really believe in their irrational Islamic daydream of establishing a caliphate ,in Iraq and Syria, and the murdering all the Jews a and thus destroying the State of Israel and then using that caliphate as a base to the conquer the whole world for Islam. How delusional ! What folly, what evil, what madness !

The following is from a review I wrote of Barry Rubin and Wolfgang G. Schwanitz’s Nazis, Islamists, and the Making of the Modern Middle East, and explains why there might have been no Holocaust and Hitler might have settled for expulsion of the Jews from Germany had it not been for former Mufti of Jerusalem, Haj Amin al-Husaini:
…The book’s second major thread concerns the life and activities of Amin al-Husaini. Hitler and the German leadership by 1941 considered al-Husaini the most important Muslim leader and cleric in the Middle East. A U.S. intelligence assessment of the time called Husaini the greatest Arab leader then alive.[1] He came from a well-connected family and clan that often produced high-level clerics and that claimed direct descent from Muhammad, and while young he had memorized the whole of the Qur’an. He attended the top Islamic university in the world, Egypt’s al-Azhar, and in 1921 the British, for their own strategic reasons, appointed him to a position his half-brother and father had both held: grand mufti of one of Islam’s three holiest cities, Jerusalem.[2] In the 1920s and 1930s, al-Husaini traveled extensively, to Morocco in the west, India in the east, and to many places between, meeting people all over the Islamic world who helped him to build the foundations for a powerful Islamist and nationalist movement with him as head.[3]
The authors make the surprising claim that al-Husaini was a key factor in Hitler’s decision to proceed with genocide against the Jews. Apart from al-Husaini’s influence, Hitler might have settled for Jewish emigration. In 1933, the dictator had made a six-year deal with Zionists to permit sixty thousand Jews a year to immigrate to Palestine, in exchange for one-third of their property. By 1941, the Nazi government had permitted some 537,000 Jews to exit Germany and had received $9.5 million in ransom from those leaving as well as from foreign Jewish donors.[4]
The arrangement might have continued, and the Holocaust been avoided, the authors suggest, had al-Husaini not intervened.[5] In February 1941 al-Husaini proposed an alliance between Germany and the Islamic world, but made clear to Hitler that keeping the Jews from leaving Europe and going to Palestine was a condition of such an alliance. Al-Husaini and Arab rulers told the British also that to avoid the enmity of Muslims, Britain must prevent any Jews from entering Palestine. Because of Al-Husaini, Hitler’s personal obsession was no longer a strategic handicap for Germany; it became a potential strategic advantage that would cement alliance with the Islamic world.[6] Because of al-Husaini, Hitler could solve his “Jewish question” only through genocide. In 1937, Husaini had publicly advocated genocide against the Jews before the Nazi government did.[7]
The authors do not deny, but neither do they unambiguously affirm, that the anti-Semitic or rather anti-Jewish character of the document al-Husaini produced in support of genocide, “Appeal to All Muslims of the World,” did not originate with the Nazis, but came largely from the Qur’an and canonical Islamic traditions.[8] The authors throughout the book walk a fine and sometimes ambiguous line between giving too much and too little weight to the Islamic origins of the widespread Muslim hatred of the Jews during World War II and indeed up to the present.
Rubin and Schwanitz note that al-Husaini himself provided a long list of parallels between the Islamic worldview and that of the Nazis, and supported it with quotations from the Qur’an and Muhammad.[9] Like Nazism, according to al-Husaini, Islam is fundamentally authoritarian in its teachings and history. Military struggle or jihad is fundamental to Islam, as Kampf and war were fundamental to Nazism.[10] Islam, like Nazism, put the common good above individual rights. Al-Husaini, who had memorized the Qur’an and attended al-Azhar, said a third of the Islamic holy book warned against the Jews. The sources showed further, he said, that the Jews had poisoned Muhammad and thus compelled him to kill them and drive them from Arabia. The struggle between Jews and Muslims would continue until one side was destroyed.[11] Rubin and Swanitch don’t mention the fact, but al-Husaini likely had in mind, among other Islamic sources, the numerous and well-known canonical hadiths in which Muhammad declares that the end of the world will not come until the very trees and stones encourage Muslims to kill Jews.
Narrated Abu Huraira: Allah’s Apostle said, “The Hour will not be established until you fight with the Jews, and the stone behind which a Jew will be hiding will say. “O Muslim! There is a Jew hiding behind me, so kill him.”[12]
Narrated ‘Abdullah bin ‘Umar: I heard Allah’s Apostle [Muhammad] saying, “The Jews will fight with you, and you will be given victory over them so that a stone will say, ‘O Muslim! There is a Jew behind me; kill him!’ “[13]
The authors conclude from al-Husaini’s list of parallels that genocide against the Jews was a part of “al-Husaini’s own ideology,” not something borrowed from the Nazis. Rubin and Schwanitz thus sidestep at that point the question of the extent to which “al-Husaini’s own ideology” was also a mainstream Islamic interpretation well-founded in the canonical Islamic texts.
At another point in the book, the authors assert that al-Husaini modernized “Islamism” and made it into a revolutionary doctrine, where previously its purpose had been a conservative one, to defend the Ottoman Empire.[14] Part of the problem with that way of putting things is that the authors nowhere adequately establish that “Islamism” is anything really distinct from Islam, or even what “Islamism” is, apart perhaps from a politically correct euphemism intended to obfuscate matters and absolve Islam of responsibility for periodic offshoots from its totalitarian center. Furthermore the claim that “Islamism” or the political center of Islam is conservative, because it had been used in part to protect the Ottoman Empire, is too facile, selective, and surely wrong. Islamism, or orthodox Islam, like orthodox Marxism, is often conservative at the center, but deeply subversive and violently revolutionary at the periphery.
The authors affirm that al-Husaini and many Muslims found the Nazis congenial in significant part because of factors originating within Middle Eastern culture, including aspects of Islamic texts and teachings about Muhammad’s relationship with the Jews. Yet Rubin and Schwanitz sometimes write as though the link with Nazism strongly swayed the modern history of the Middle East in a “radical” “Islamist” direction. They point to Muslim “moderates,” who they suggest might have prevailed in more fortunate circumstances. Like most other historians today, they wisely reject any idea that what occurred was inevitable. Yet some outcomes are nearly inevitable. That the Muslim world, despite the totalitarian doctrinal elements at the core of Islam, might have taken a moderate and liberal path if not for the Nazis, is more unlikely than the authors allow.

This evil thug is inveighing contemptuously and murderously against the Jewish state of Israel, and indeed against the whole House of Israel world-wide (but, of course, Jews are detested as the Uber-Infidel.; it isn’t just Jews whom Muslims regard as unclean and as illegally occupying land that rightfully belongs to Muslims and Muslims only).
Well: there is a passage in Genesis that describes what the Biblical God does to people like that. Many Christians here present might remember it; but the full meaning of the passage – “I will bless him that blesseth thee, and him that curseth thee, I will curse” – is only apparent in Hebrew.
http://www.israelnationalnews.com/Blogs/Message.aspx/7663
Excerpt:
“in the Hebrew text, two different words are used.
“The ‘curse’ that others place upon Israel is the word, “m’kalellchah’—and the curse that HaShem will use is ‘ah-or’ (pardon my transliteration).
“Consider the difference between ‘m’kahlellchah’ and ‘ah-or’. That difference tells us a lot about the Arab Muslims who incite to kill Jews today—and the self-imposed degradation that so frustrates them.
“The Jewish commentary known at the Klei Yakar (Rabbi Shlomo Ephraim ben Aaron Luntschitz (1550-1619), explains the meaning of these two words. He begins by translating the curse against Israel, called ‘M’kalellchah’. This word, he says, contains a meaning that combines concepts of blasphemy, scorn and contempt (Kli Yakar, Breisheet, volume 1, Menucha publications, Brooklyn, NY, 2013, p 170; translation by Elihu Levine).
‘Blasphemy’ contains these elements: showing a heightened disrespect to G-d and to that which is Holy, and acts which insult and/or disrespect G-d.
‘Scorn’ contains several elements: harsh criticism that shows a lack of respect, rejection, derision, refusal to acknowledge, treating someone as despicable.
‘Contempt’ contains these elements: a wilful, open disrespect of law, treating someone (or the law) as if they (or it) is not worthy of any respect whatsoever.
‘Arab Muslims blaspheme against the G-d of Israel. They don’t just disrespect Jewish Holy sites. They spit at them. They firebomb them. They tear them down when they can.
‘Arab Muslims scorn all things Jewish. They call Jews apes and pigs (“Case Study: Portraying Jews as Apes and Pigs, pmw, under heading, ‘Demonization of Jews/Israel’). They deny any Jewish connection to the land of Israel. They mock their Jewish victims (“Abbas’ advisor mocks terror victims following shooting murder and injuring of Israeli soldiers”, Palestinian Media Watch [pmw], October 21, 2015).
‘Arab Muslims have such contempt for law they have declared that killing Jews is legal (“Fatah officials: Killing ‘settlers’ is legal and ‘national duty’”, pmw, October 8, 2015). Instead of condemning the murder of Jews, they glorify it (“PLO official: Killing of Israeli parents of 4 children was ‘national duty’, pmw, October 6-8, 2015). They legitimize violence (“Fatah official: Law against rock throwing is unjust”, pmw, September 22-25, 2015). Their clergy says Jews are not worthy to live (“Al-Aqsa preacher: Jews worship the Devil, will be exterminated by Muslims”, pmw, September 18, 2015).
‘Arab Muslims curse Jews with blasphemy, scorn and contempt. But as our Torah says, those who curse Jews with ‘m’kalellchah’ are themselves cursed with ‘ah-or’.
‘The Klei Yakar translates ‘ah-or’ as ‘a grievous curse’. This type of curse, he explains, contains elements best described as ‘degradation’ (ibid).
‘Degradation’ suggests a process that leads to destruction. It suggests a condition of damage and ruin..”. END QUOTE.
I would make a further observation. an entirely non-religious person with some knowledge of psychology, reflecting on this passage, once one sees the distinction between the two types of ‘cursing’ (obscured by the usual English translation), might see the destruction, or degradation, as the logical outworking of what happens to a person, or group, that indulges in the kind of attitude and behaviour toward an inoffensive other, that is defined by the first type of ‘cursing’. They destroy *themselves*. One could say that God destroys them; or one could say that if one chooses to wallow in evil attitudes and behaviours, one rots one’s soul and mind and ends up unable to build or create anything of value.
Martha Gellhorn saw the same thing when she visited the Middle East in 1960 and observed the nature of the Arab (overwhelmingly Muslim) societies and individuals. She wrote of them as follows:
“Arabs gorge on hate, they roll in it, they breathe it. Jews top the hate list, but any foreigners are hateful enough. Arabs also hate each other, separately and en masse. Their politicians change the direction of their hate as they would change their shirts. Their press is vulgarly base with hate-filled cartoons; their reporting describes whatever hate is now uppermost and convenient. Their radio is a long scream of hate, a call to hate. They teach their children hate in school. They must love the taste of hate; it is their daily bread. And what good has it done them?”
One could rewrite this, substituting simply ‘Muslims’ wherever she says ‘arab’ and it would be true not only for the middle east around Israel, but the entire dar al Islam, which is rotten with, corroded by, suspicion and aggression.
“Muslims gorge on hate, they roll in it, they breathe it. Jews top the hate list, but any Infidels are hateful enough. Muslims also hate each other, separately and en masse. Their politicians change the direction of their hate as they would change their shirts. Their press is vulgarly base with hate-filled cartoons; their reporting describes whatever hate is now uppermost and convenient. Their radio is a long scream of hate, a call to hate. They teach their children hate in school. They must love the taste of hate; it is their daily bread. And what good has it done them?”
Carmine R. Fragione says
Sounds like a revolutionary ideologically driven young Jewish student, mixing religions with Marxism.
It is simply provocative, like the myth of doing “Evil” that “Good” may come of it, “Never waste a crisis ” And it shows a young man with smooth fluid Hebrew , and gestures of a Jew, since he never uses his right finger to point, but waves his right hand open fully. There is a mysticism of the ‘Judas Goat” which is trained animal that is used to lead the sheep into the slaughter pen. This is ancient, but in the modern era , it is the reign of terror, right out of the book of the Marque de Sade, viva la Francois. What the world is going to do is move the United Nations to Jerusalem, and then the Arabs , the Egyptians, the Turks, the Iranians. all will have a big fight over the hegemony and the domination of this new United Nations, sitting in Israel. It is like the UAR. It would not surprise me that after President Obama finishes his term , he becomes the new Secretary General of the United Nations, they move their headquarters from the East River in NYC to Jerusalem or Gaza. and they have a new world capital of commerce, also in Istanbul and the U.S. Dollar is eliminated. No surprises in that at all. So the goading to release the dogs of war, all come down to also some Jewish Atheist Commies, in the mix , pretending to be ISIS and arousing the need for this change of “Occupation” to a world body, and then Islam consumes that world body, with a final war between the Iranians, and the Turks. Obviously it has to degenerate into world war three, there is a built in programming of destruction , which men who doubt God, have no knowledge of . Jerusalem is the most ancient and most famous Necropolis City , of the Fertile Crescent. It was a place for burial of the dead in caves and offering sacrifices to EL on Mount Moriah, that those who lived in that Semite Civilization could be accepted back in Heaven, or in Paradise, called Eden. It is the stairway to Heaven, and no nation will give it up for peace, because to be buried there, is the Peace of God . So, then in a very ancient mysticism, the Nations will all be buried by Yahweh in that place, R.I.P. ( Jerusalem is ancient ARIEL, the Stairway up to Heaven, whereas, Babel in the land of the Chaldees in Iraq. was the place God came down at the Gate of EL, to bring Adam and Eve, into the land , of their punishment. The Rhythm of life for the Semites was along the Harran, a human pilgrimage of life, which also did Abraham sojourn from Babel up to Nineveh arching along the Euphrates and down into Israel, and there in Jerusalem, the Semite Priests sold caves for sliver pieces to bury the dead, and offer a sacrifice to God. Jerusalem is not a place for the living, it was the place for the living to bury their dead. It is then poetic , that this is where humanity will bury their nations )

Nonsense.
Nonsense.
And again, nonsense. Or, as Martha Gellhorn put it, the purest madhattery.
You are seriously claiming that the “Islamic State” was created by da eevil Joooooz?
‘Jewish atheist commies…pretending to be ISIS’??? !!!!
You’re nuts. Go away.
Matthieu Baudin says
Time for Syria to move closer to normalised relations with Israel. The future of secular Middle Eastern politics will be much more secure if it buries the hatchet against its Jewish neighbours and builds upon the common goal of marginalising religious fanaticism and violence. In the absence of a diplomatic rapprochement with Israel the current Iranian military support to Syrian national forces will not be sufficient to turn the tide against Isis; and an Isis dominated Syria will mean no Syria at all.
Richard says
Presumably the ruins one can see across what was Syria, Iraq and Gaza are a reward from Allah ? The migrants’ punishment from Allah being to live hell on earth ?
suh_swami says
The Quran oozes from the masked man..But we kno because the Pope said o, that with the proper reading of Qyuran, there is no violence but tolerance, love, and peace. So who knows more about it, the Pope, or the masked man and his boss Abui Bakr B? It;s hard to believe that when you properly red Quran, you suddenly feel like doing something violent in Allah’s name? So who has Islam right?Abu Bakr and the masked man, or the Pope, and the worlds leading authority on everything Islam, Rasool Obama, who also say Islam teaches peace so ISIS is not Islamic. Someone is misunderstanding something, or lying about it, I wonder who that is?
