“Therefore, the young man who puts his life on the line and the heroic sister, with nothing but a knife at hand, are justified, and Allah accepts them. This is up to Allah, but He accepts their Jihad and their martyrdom. By God, they are the most exalted and the noblest of people.”
That echoes the Qur’an: “You are the best nation produced for mankind. You enjoin what is right and forbid what is wrong and believe in Allah.” (3:110)
“Hamas Leader Khaled Mash’al Exalts Palestinian Terror Attacks, Carried Out by ‘the Noblest of People,'” MEMRI, December 10, 2015:
In a December 10 address in Kuala Lampur, Hamas Leader Khaled Mash’al praised Palestinians attacking with knives and cars in the West Bank and Jerusalem, glorifying their martyrdom and saying: “By God, they are the most exalted and the noblest of people.” Mash’al further said: “After the knives used by the people of the West Bank and Jerusalem – can anyone possibly have an excuse to abandon the path of Jihad?”
Following are excerpts from the address, which was broadcast by the Al-Jazeera network.
Khaled Mash’al: The Palestinians have reached the realization that negotiations with the [Israelis] are useless. The so-called peace process is futile. There is no peace. Only the path of Jihad, sacrifice, and blood [will bear fruit]. Our rights will not be restored through the U.N. Security Council, but by means of recruitment. 2,000 verbal “rockets” do not compare to a single rocket made of iron.
The children and youth of the West Bank have absorbed the message: Weapons like Kalashnikovs or missiles are not at hand, but there are knives and cars with which to run over the enemies. By God, after the knives used by the people of the West Bank and Jerusalem – can anyone possibly have an excuse to abandon the path of Jihad? Nobody can have such an excuse. Our Lord says: “Allah does not impose upon anyone a duty but to the extent of his ability.” He also said: “Prepare for them what you can.” Therefore, the young man who puts his life on the line and the heroic sister, with nothing but a knife at hand, are justified, and Allah accepts them. This is up to Allah, but He accepts their Jihad and their martyrdom. By God, they are the most exalted and the noblest of people.
Jack Diamond says
Still waiting for Khaled Mash’al to leave the swimming pool and lead by example. Where is your martyrdom, creep?
mortimer says
Right, Mr. Mash’al, when you speak about ‘martyrdom’ operations, shouldn’t you lead by example by attacking a regiment of Israeli soldiers single-handedly to show them ‘how it’s done’???
Or are you a ‘hypocrite’, letting others do the dangerous and dirty jobs?

Invisible Tilt of Playing Field in Public Debate on Islam
The tilt of the playing field happens and is invisible because hardly anyone in the public discourse mentions or even much notices what a disadvantage the Islam-critical side starts from, namely the fact that most of those who see Islam as a grave totalitarian nemesis keep silent (or anonymous) about it because of a double threat. The double threat public Islam-critics must accept is the risk of violence from Muslims and career-ending slander from politically correct enforcers. The understandable result of the silencing of the majority of Islam-critics is that the average bystander to the debate often assumes that the politically correct claims about Islam are supported by the vast majority of experts. The disadvantage in being hidden is all the more effective. Honest journalists, even if they don’t agree with the view that Islam is fundamentally totalitarian, therefore have some responsibility to speak up for those who have been silenced. Those journalists who represent the politically correct view and act as if the other side of the debate has not been largely silenced by death threats deserve rebuke.
For links to numerous news reports of self-censorship by public institutions, teachers, writers, actors, artists, journalists, comedians who impose silence on themselves about Islam because of death threats and violence from Muslims, see http://www.quotingislam.blogspot.com
Budvarakbar says
Their brains will not function properly until the threats from Islam and the “West” are balanced to the point that the PC a$$ hole MSM and politicians are equally threatened from both sides — and ir dawns on them to decide on which side may still allow them to continue walking on this earth!
Infidel Task Force says
He can get away with saying that because he has authority. If it was in America, free speech or not, we would be hauled into court for hate speech.
And WHERE is the Useless Nations on this?
This savage is provoking terror attacks.
This savage is telling his minions its OK to go out and kill the Jews.
….but its all Israels fault.
Mongoose says
If he were here he would be charged with hate crimes just as Louis Farrakhan has been I assume.
Linde Barrera says
This Hamas outlaw, Khaled Mash’al, is taking his cue from Satan the Devil, who also likes to see people murder other people and commit suicide. It amazes me how much of the doctrinal core of the Quran is inspired by evil. But let’s never forget that many people call “good” what really is “evil”. ?
miriamrove says
The Israelis could have finished them if it was not for the PC elites. m
SpiritOf1683 says
Yes, the PC elites in the West who stop the Israelis from destroying their enemies, and stupid Western politicians and members of the media and public who keep telling the Israelis not to retaliate, and protest on the streets when they do. They bang on about ‘innocent civilians’ but these so-called ‘innocent civilians’ wish for Israel’s, and our destruction, as much as any terrorist. We hear about ‘innocent women and children’ but these so-called ‘innocent children’ will be the terrorists of 2025 or 2030.
Walter Sieruk says
The members who compose the jihad entity Hamas are too ignorant to know it but they are fated to fail in the goal to destroy the State of Israel and replace it with an Islamic “state.” The reason is they are fighting for a lost because they are greatly overruled by none other then the God of the Bible. For He is on the side of the Jewish State of Israel and the Hamas members even though they don’t know it are striving against the Will of God. As seen in the Bible in Psalm 135:4. which teaches “For the Lord has chosen Jacob for Himself. Israel for His special treasure.” {N.K.J.V] Furthermore, This land that is the land of Israel, including the West Bank, belongs to the Jewish people by Divine Right. As shown in Genesis 28:13-15. 35::10-12. Deuteronomy 32:48,49. Psalm 105:7-11. Moreover, this land also belongs to the Jewish people by historic rights. As revealed in First Kings 4:20,21, 24,25. 8:55,56.
Still in all fairness. there is one way for the members of Hamas to convince God to chance His Mind concerning Israel and the cause Him to turn His Back of that country and thus have the nation of Israel be no more. That way is for the members of Hamas to get together and then change the laws of astrophysics, including those laws governing the sun, the moon and the stars.. For God had declared in His Word, the Bible ,in Jeremiah 31:35;36 “Thus saith the Lord, Who gives the sun for a light by day and the ordinances of the moon and the stars for alight by night…The Lord of host is His name. If those ordinances depart from before Me, saith the Lord,then the seed of Israel also shall cease from being a nation before Me forever.”
wildjew says
Successive U.S. administrations have all, in one manner or another, pressured Israel to make compromises to her enemies; to relinquish land from Biblical Israel for a Muslim-enemy state. Even the Republican party officially endorses dividing the land of Israel into 2 states. Only Mike Huckabee says he opposes the 2 state solution. How many Americans – how many American leaders – believe God’s promises to Abraham in the Bible?

AP Conversation: Trump says Mideast peace rests with Israel
By JULIE PACE, JILL COLVIN and STEVE PEOPLES
Dec. 3, 2015 1:20 PM EST
STERLING, Va. (AP) — Donald Trump says that if he’s elected president, he’ll know within six months whether he can achieve an elusive peace accord between Israelis and Palestinians, one of the world’s most vexing challenges. But the Republican presidential candidate says he has doubts about each side’s commitment to the peace process.
“I have a real question as to whether or not both sides want to make it,” Trump said in an interview with The Associated Press on Wednesday.
The Republican front-runner said his concerns are greater regarding “one side in particular.” While Trump wouldn’t say whether he was referring to the Israelis or the Palestinians, he said the chances for a lasting peace rest with Israel….
SpiritOf1683 says
He should look at the history of the last 50 and more to the point, the last 68 years, to know how futile his approach will be. Hamas wants Israel gone and the freedom to plunder for themselves the hard work of its citizens. This is a non-negotiable position. You can’t plead with anyone who wants to kill you and take everything you’ve got.

*…While Trump wouldn’t say whether he was referring to the Israelis or the Palestinians, he said the chances for a lasting peace rest with Israel….* Sorry, Mr. Trump, that idea was proved wrong the moment the Israelis left Gaza… http://www.gatestoneinstitute.org/4624/gaza-war-reality

…and I ask, ‘By Allah, Mr. Mash’al, don’t you realize a lot of Western Leftists are coming to inform you that YOU ARE WRONG, SIR? Wrong as can be about Islam (ROP).’
Yes, Western Leftists understand Islam better than you do, Mr. Mash’al. They read no Arabic, they have not read the Islamic source texts and yet, they just feel in their GUT that you, sir, are wrong…completely wrong about the religion of peace.
Mr. Mash’al, all those Leftards believe you are mental! Please see a Western psychiatrist because only they understand that Islam is Peace and so they ‘know’ how to cure you. (Western psychiatrists also did not study any Islamic source text, but ‘know’ all about Islam…I can assure you.)
Thank you.

He is right about one thing: “The so-called peace process is futile.”
