More genocidal incitement — and in the U.S., the allies of people such as this preacher prevail upon corporations to do their bidding and stigmatize resistance to this savagery.
“Palestinian Preacher at Al-Aqsa Mosque Rally Calls to Restore the Caliphate, Annihilate the Jews,” MEMRI, October 24, 2015:
Following are excerpts:
Palestinian Preacher Ali Abu Ahmad: “Oh servants of Allah, who is more worthy of defending the people of Palestine? Is it the US army, the European army, the Russian army, or the Pakistani army? Indeed, oh servants of Allah, who is more worthy of defending the Muslims? Is it the armies of the infidels, which are killing us everywhere? Or is the armies of the Muslims? Yes, the armies of the Islamic nation are our guns, and they were turned against us by the rulers of the wicked (Muslims) mini-states, in order to kill us. But Allah willing, very soon we shall regain these guns, and we shall turn them against the enemies of the Islamic nation: the Jews, the Americans, and the Russians.
[…]
“Oh servants of Allah, the issue of the Al-Aqsa Mosque is not merely about Jews storming the place of the Prophet’s nocturnal journey, and defiling it. It is about an entity that is plundering the lands of the Muslims. This issue will only be resolved through the return of the Caliphate, Allah willing. The Caliphate conquered Jerusalem, liberated and protected it, and Allah willing, the Caliphate will be the one to liberate Jerusalem very soon, after annihilating the rulers of the wicked mini-states and it will return the nation to its rightful path and annihilate the Jewish entity.
[…]
“Oh Allah, annihilate the Jews.”
Crowd: “Amen.”
Ali Abu Ahmad: “Oh Allah, let us kill them.”
Crowd: “Amen.”
Ali Abu Ahmad: “Oh Allah, make the ground swallow them up, along with their homes.”
Crowd: “Amen.”
Ali Abu Ahmad: “Oh Allah, they oppressed the people and sowed corruption throughout the land. Oh Allah, bring the whip of torment cracking down upon them. Amen.”
Crowd: “Amen.”

Genocide and admiration for ISIS are being preached at the THIRD MOST IMPORTANT MOSQUE (according to Muslims)…Al-Aqsa Mosque !!!
So there is no mistake that the mullah is calling for violence, a caliphate (ISIS), and an Islamic army (the army of ISIS).
Since such a sermon can be preached at this IMPORTANT shrine of Islam, it cannot be argued convincingly that Islam is a religion of peace.
The sermon implies that Islam is an army, Islam is a bigoted, fascist dictatorship (caliphate of ISIS) and that all Muslim countries not affiliated with ISIS are apostates.
The sermon implies that genocide is normative Islam.

Why doesn’t the Mossad take this Vermin out, there can be no doubt this POS is responsible for the murder and wounding of Israeli citizens and no doubt more to come, can you imagine the media if a Rabi was doing the same thing or a Christian?, the media would be showing it 24/7 and the UN would be calling for the Rabi’s head and the one calling himself a Christian would be arrested for safety reasons if nothing else. If there’s any doubt who these two aforementioned groups are for and against this is proof positive. It wont be long before these savage brutes will be doing the same thing openly here in America, no doubt they will include Christians too. For almost 1400 years this has been going on, only fools think it’s going to stop, in this day and age there is no excuse that a supposed civilized world should put up with maniacs that believe they must kill all who don’t agree with them.

Even with their own words, yet some will still deny that this is what they believe and have always believed.
Angemon says
It’s more insidious than that: they’ll legitimize it by claiming it’s simply a reaction to Israeli “oppression”.
eduardo odraude says
May those who struggle for civilization and goodness be annealed but never defeated by the horrific evils of Islam.

This week the ABC Lateline prg in Australia put to air an uncensored interview with Sam Harris and Maajid Zawaz, which, if the aims expresssed are successful, would pull the rug out from under the feet of all Islamic hate preachers once and for all. Below is an edited transcript of the interview.
Penny drops at the ABC: maybe Islam really does need reform. Maybe there really is a “death cult”

TONY JONES, PRESENTER:
A very different program tonight. We’ll devote most of it to a dialogue between two men who began on opposite sides of the great debate on religion and ended up working together on a project to reform Islam.
Sam Harris and Maajid Nawaz are the co-authors of a new book called Islam and the Future of Tolerance.
Well despite their differences, they share disgust at the way in which extremists resort to sacred Islamic texts to justify medieval brutality such as the beheadings, torture, sexual slavery and rape which are routinely celebrated in Islamic State propaganda…
The use of a distorted version of Islamic beliefs about paradise to justify the slaughter of innocents is at the extreme end of the debate, but it’s an indication of what’s at stake…
As the West struggles to contain the home-grown threat of jihadists, some provocateurs argue that Islam itself is to blame.
SAM HARRIS: We have not created this phenomenon of global jihad. This is a phenomenon that is, on some level, over 1,000 years old and now we’re dealing with the modern variant of it. But what we have to recognise is that there are specific ideologies that are delivering us what we’re calling Islamism and jihadism here and until those – until we win a war of ideas against these ideologies – a belief in martyrdom, a belief in paradise – we are going to continue to confront this evil, a kind of evil which should really be unimaginable in the year 2015…
TONY JONES: Sam Harris, do you see something distinct in the nature of Islam as opposed to other religions that gives rise to the particular brand of brutality practised by the adherence of Islamic State?
SAM HARRIS: Yeah, I do, I do… As a matter of history, Islam has not had a proper collision with modernity and secularism and science the way Christianity has… But there are theological differences between Islam and Christianity and Judaism and other faiths that I think make Islam more difficult to reform…
TONY JONES: Sam, briefly on specifics, you maintain pretty much that everything a jihadist needs to justify their beliefs and their actions can be spelled out unambiguously in the Koran and the Hadith…
SAM HARRIS: Yeah and I would add to that the biography of Muhammad…. What is ISIS doing that Muhammad didn’t do or wouldn’t have approved of? … And the example of Muhammad is, as just an exemplar of the faith, is – doesn’t square very well with modern, cosmopolitan, secular, tolerant values. He was not a hippy who got crucified… He was a warlord who did many of the things that you see members of ISIS doing and that’s why they can kind of paint by numbers and justify what they’re doing with a very literalist, and as Maajid would say, a vacuous reading of Islamic theology. And that’s a very inconvenient fact which we have to confront head on and find some way to disavow the intolerant readings of these passages in scripture.
MAAJID NAWAZ: It’s incorrect for we, as Muslims and generally, actually, I’d say, those on the left of centre in this debate, to insist that Islamists and jihadists have nothing to do with Islam. That’s actually an exercise in dishonesty. Of course they have something to do with Islam… As Sam correctly mentioned, there are passages that they can resort to. So they have a plausible reading of scripture. The challenge, and this is more a plea that I make here on your show to my fellow Muslims in Australia and that is that we, as Muslims, have a task ahead of us, a monumentous task ahead of us and that is to begin the process of adapting, of reinterpreting our scriptures for the modern day and age… Unfortunately, many Muslims today, instead of rising to that challenge are incredibly defensive when it comes to this.
TONY JONES: Sam Harris, … you … confront one of the worst forms of depravity. One in particular stays in my mind. It was a Taliban attack on a school in Peshawar, Pakistan where 132 children were murdered for which the jihadists gave a very grim justification…
SAM HARRIS: Ah, yeah. This was a discussion with a Taliban supporter who after this massacre at the school in Peshawar justified it to a friend of ours, Ali A. Rizvi, a ex-Muslim online, and he said, “You don’t understand. You’re a materialist. You think death is the end of everything and so this is why you think something bad happened here. But those children are in paradise. We did them a favour. And the last thing they heard was “Allahu Akbar” and they will be at the right hand of God.” And what you see in this justification, and I’ve been worrying about this for years, is that a sincere belief in paradise really takes the guard rails off of civilisation. If – you become undeterrable by death and you think that it’s impossible to kill the wrong people because if you blow up a crowd of even Muslim children as a Muslim, well you’ve sent the children to paradise and you’ve sent all the bad people to hell, which is where God wants them, so you’ve done – it’s impossible to kill the wrong people, it’s impossible for anything to go wrong and this world is just fit to be destroyed because there’s nothing about it that matters in light of eternity. Now there are obviously other religions that have this – a problematic conception of paradise, in particular Christianity, but within Islam it’s married to a notion of martyrdom and a notion of jihad in defence of the faith that I think really is almost the perfect recipe for the kind of death cult behaviour we’re seeing in the Muslim world….
MAAJID NAWAZ: In fact Islamism, when implemented, without exception leads to nothing but misery, leads to nothing but darkness and gloom over those societies upon which it’s implemented and eventually people do want their own freedom and they want their own choices to make for themselves… I believe that there is absolutely no other choice but for us to actually get through this and to continue this process of reform, but it does require people to speak up.
Congratulations to Jones for having the guts to feature this frank conversation. I would only add that a handful of conservatives have being trying to have this conversation for some 15 years already, for which the response has been little but abuse, cries of “Islamophobia” even ”madman”, and deadly delay.

Allah is not willing.

I thought inciting people to murder others was against the law. If so, why aren’t all muslims who advocate murder of Christians and Jews, Americans and Russians, etc, being arrested and put away in jail and/or deported?
Bill Bobbs says
For a bit of light relief here’s a really funny piece on using Mohammad as your moral compass in life. Its’ at: http://john-moloney.blogspot.com/2015/10/perfect-moral-compass.html

O JESUS save the muslims from islam
and the crowd said amen
O JESUS bring healing to the hurted souls
dumbledoresarmy says
I hope everyone took notice of the location where all this vicious incitement-to-ritiual-murder of Jews was being done.
The ‘Al Aqsa mosque”.
That is: this Muslim rabble-rouser, this thug who wants Jews to be murdered, was standing **in the mosque that squats on top of Judaism’s holiest place on earth**, the Temple Mount.
Muslims screech and throw tantrums about blasphemy.
Well, if ever there was an act of desecration, defilement and blasphemy it is when someone stands on top of the Temple Mount in Jerusalem and howls for the ritual slaughter of Jews.

What an idiot this preacher is!!
Does he know what are the duty and obligation of a religious preacher are?
So that is why we have “ISLAMOPHOEBIA”
I lived in an era where irrespective of caste and ethnic origin, even the Muslim riding on a horse, while passing a Hindu shrine would dismount and walk in from of the shrine bowing his head down in Reverence. He would mount the horse and go away.
These damn mullahs are a curse to humanity and hope poisonous snakes bite them as TIT for TAT.
God have mercy on these stupid preachers who spread hate and violence.
If the preacher has his/her mind poisoned, hat would you expect from REST of the MUSLIM world.
They have hate and hate, if they could use this hate to best of their useful and better deeds, this world would be a benevolent place to live.
The United Nation has supported the Palestine Muslim, REFUGEES, for over 60 years and nations born around the same period have prospered and are great nations.
The free money spent on the Palestine should be stopped!!!
Mo says
The question no one is asking is why are these genocidal Muslims allowed there at all, much less to spew their calls for murder?!
How this sickens me!
Jay Boo says
Muhammad is such a disgrace.
Why don’t Muslims just let him rest in peace?
Instead they flaunt his shame.
