Jihad Watch

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

Germany issues “Mein Jihad” video to claim jihad isn’t so bad

Feb 13, 2016 6:14 am By Robert Spencer

We saw this in the U.S. several years ago, with Hamas-linked CAIR’s brutally cynical “My Jihad” ad campaign, featuring a series of Muslims saying that their jihad consisted of things such as taking the kids to school and going to the gym regularly. The simple fact is that the word “jihad” in Arabic means “struggle,” and covers a whole range of struggles large and small, but the primary meaning of “jihad” in Islamic law is warfare against and subjugation of unbelievers. If the woman in the video thinks that her jihad is going to college and studying and being kind to people, that doesn’t negate the fact that other Muslims think that their jihad is killing non-Muslims. The German government should realize that some Muslims seeing jihad in a benign way does absolutely nothing to stop the Muslims who don’t.

The German government should be issuing videos alerting Germans to the meaning of jihad that endangers them, not trying to render its population complacent about a threat to their very lives. What on earth could be compelling it to do that? Why have Merkel and her cohorts become essentially treasonous in the face of the jihad threat?

“Struggle” in German is kampf. Why didn’t they title this video “Mein Kampf”?

“German Gov’t Launches ‘Mein Jihad’ Video To Kill Prejudice Against Word [VIDEO],” by Jacob Bojesson, Daily Caller, February 12, 2016:

The German government has released a video titled “Mein Jihad” to put a positive spin on the word often associated with radical Islam.

The video’s title resembles the name of Adolf Hitler’s autobiography “Mein Kampf,” German for “My Struggle,” and even starts off by explaining that “jihad” literally translates to “kampf” in German.

The video then goes on to explain that most Islamic scholars agree that jihad hasn’t been around since the 16th century, and that it is “not a license for unrestricted killing.”

The woman behind the video, a German Muslim girl, also describes how her jihad starts “by getting up in the morning and following the call to prayer.”…

    Mein Jesus knows me well enough that
    I dont have to prove anything to him including
    praying 5x a day in a religious fashion.

    I can talk to Mein Jesus all day long !

      That’s a huge difference, among many. You can talk to Jesus as you would anyone, and at any time. The slaves of Allah, however, prostrate themselves 5 times a day to a remote, autocratic Arabian moon deity that doesn’t exist. There’s no talking to Allah by his slaves, only surrender and submission, which are the meanings of the word “Islam.”

        They actually prostrate themselves towards a stone in Mecca in a structure which was originally a pagan shrine just to demonstrate their opposition to idol worship.

      When I see muslims bowing down towards Mecca I can’t help remebering Mathew 4:1-11

      The devil took Jesus to a very high mountain and showed him all the kingdoms of the world and their splendor. 9 “All this I will give you,” he said, “if you will bow down and worship me.”

      The HIJAB is such a JIHAD

      Another struggle in a futile attempt by a (he/she) Muslim man to dress up in women’s clothing following the example of Muhammad.

    • Huck Folder says

      Feb 13, 2016 at 6:19 pm

      JIHAD was used in an almost exclusively
      – PRIMARILY MILITARY sense.

      https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jihad

      “In his work, ‘The History of Baghdad’,
      Al-Khatib al-Baghdadi,
      an 11th-century Islamic scholar,
      referenced a [i.e. ONE, and one ONLY!]
      statement by the companion of Muhammad
      Jabir ibn Abd-Allah.

      “The reference stated that Jabir said,
      “The Prophet… returned from one of
      his [defensive?] BATTLES,
      and thereupon told us, “You have arrived
      with an excellent arrival, you have come
      from the Lesser Jihad to the Greater Jihad –
      the striving of a servant (of Allah)
      against his desires (holy war).””
      [Their ‘desires’ were for HOLY WAR?
      What do ‘peaceniks’ say about that?]

      Sounds OK, if a bit vague, but
      FOUR HUNDRED YEARS LATER?
      And ONLY ONE such quote from the
      10 billion words of babble about mohammed!
      More wiki jihad:

      “According to the Muslim Jurist Ibn Hajar al-Asqalani,
      the quote in which Muhammad is reported
      to have said that greater Jihad is the inner struggle,
      is from an UNRELIABLE SOURCE:
      “This saying is widespread and it is a saying
      by Ibrahim ibn Ablah according to Nisa’i in al-Kuna.
      Ghazali mentions it in the Ihya’ and al-`Iraqi said
      that Bayhaqi related it on the authority of Jabir
      and said: There is weakness
      in its chain of transmission.”
      Hajar al Asqalani, Tasdid al-qaws,
      see also Kashf al-Khafaa’ (no.1362)”

      “Ibn Habbaan narrates: The ‘Messenger of Allah’
      was asked about the BEST JIHAD.
      He said: “The BEST JIHAD
      is the one in which your horse is SLAIN
      and your BLOOD is spilled.””

      So the ‘best’ of the lesser jihad – (the least jihad?)
      – is the most violent?
      Now we know where George Orwell got
      his ideas of Newspeak from, islamist taqiyya!

      “Middle East historian Bernard Lewis:
      “the OVERWHELMING MAJORITY
      of classical theologians, jurists, and traditionalists
      (specialists in the hadith) understood
      the obligation of JIHAD in a MILITARY sense.”
      Furthermore, Lewis maintains that for
      most of the recorded history of Islam,
      from the lifetime of the Prophet Muhammad onward,
      the word JIHAD was used in
      a PRIMARILY MILITARY sense.”

      “According to Sayyid Qutb, an Egyptian,
      (the leader of the Muslim Brotherhood):

      “There are two parties in all the world:
      the Party of Allah and the Party of Satan –
      the Party of Allah, which stands
      under the banner of Allah
      and bears his insignia,
      and the Party of Satan,
      which includes every community, group,
      race, and individual that does not
      stand under the banner of Allah.””

      In other words, you’re WITH us or AGAINST us.
      Sound familiar?
      The leftards and MSM castigated Bush for that;
      what do they say about Qutb? Crickets!

      “The Muslim Brotherhood created some
      [MANY] American Muslim groups
      and sought influence in others,
      many of which are listed as
      unindicted co-conspirators
      in the Holy Land case,
      such as CAIR.

      “The MB posted a series of articles
      by Dr. Ahmad ‘Abd Al-Khaleq
      about Al-Walaa Wa’l-Baraa,
      an Islamic doctrine which, stipulates
      ABSOLUTE ALLEGIANCE
      to the community of Muslims
      and TOTAL REJECTION of non-Muslims
      and of Muslims who have strayed
      from the path of Islam.

      “In his articles, the writer argues that
      according to this principle, a Muslim
      can come closer to Allah
      by HATING all non-Muslims –
      Christians, Jews, atheists, or polytheists –
      and by waging [military] JIHAD against them
      in every possible manner.”

      “In her book Muhammad:
      a Biography of the ‘prophet’, Karen Armstrong writes:
      “Fighting and warfare MIGHT sometimes be necessary,
      but it was only a MINOR part of the whole jihad or struggle.””
      [Taqiyya Sister? One lump or two?]

      “David Cook, author of “Understanding Jihad”, said
      “In reading Muslim literature – both contemporary
      and classical – one can see that the evidence
      for the primacy of SPIRITUAL JIHAD is NEGLIGIBLE.
      Today it is CERTAIN that NO Muslim,
      writing in a non-Western language (such as Arabic,
      Persian, Urdu), would ever make claims
      that jihad is primarily nonviolent
      or has been superseded by the ‘spiritual jihad’.

      “Such claims are made SOLELY by Western ‘scholars’,
      primarily those who study Sufism and/or work in
      ‘INTERFAITH DIALOGUE’ [yuk!] ,
      and by Muslim APOLOGISTS
      who are trying to present Islam
      in the most INNOCUOUS manner possible.”

      “Presentations along these lines are ideological
      in tone and should be discounted for their
      BIAS and DELIBERATE IGNORANCE of the subject”
      and that “it is no longer acceptable for
      Western ‘scholars’ or Muslim apologists
      writing in non-Muslim languages to make
      flat, unsupported statements concerning
      the prevalence – either from a historical
      point of view or within contemporary Islam
      – of the ‘spiritual’ jihad.”

      Anyone feel free to reuse this.

They don’t accept the actual history that has those of ‘Mein Jihad, who WERE the brothers of Adolph and the nazis thru the war assisting in that ‘vision’ and political dream. Or nightmare as it were- and is. I wish someone would simply step up and say, that this is and was and will be the fact of Mein Jihad, and then when they are called Islamophobes, simply mention how very few muslims have actually come out and asked for forgiveness for the mass assaults, mass rapes, defilements of citizens, and the complete lack of taking responsibliity for that ‘culture’ that is
      and will always be arabic, and Islam.

        “Mein Jihad” = “Mein Kampf”. I think that’s called “poetic justice”.

        Meanwhile, the Muslim Brotherhood-approved “Combatting Violent Extremism” crowd assures us that ISIS is much too busy to seriously consider an attack on the US in the near future. They will have to leave it up to “lone wolves”, CVE-ese for individual jihadists, to mount individual jihad — excuse me, “lone wolf” — attacks like the one that nearly resulted in a massacre at Ohio restaurant “Nazareth”, just coincidentally owned by an Arab Christian. Guess that was “Mohammad Barry’s Jihad”. Let’s see them put that up on a billboard.

        FOX News had to spend an hour or two “independently verifying” the name. And, of course, the motive is still a puzzle…

      Considering that Merkel has been in office for some time, and the welcoming committees at the train stations for ” refugees”, I think that all or a good portion of the German citizens are stupid, or just still hate Jews ( who have contributed more to the world-as a % of their number then any other group/religion/people/race, or whatever term one wishes to use) that they allow this.

      (Same for France,, Sweden –where the FOREIGN MINISTER–WHO, WOULD WOULD ASSUME, SPEAKS FOR THE GOVERNMENT- BLAMED ISRAEL AND JEWS FOR THE MUSLIMS KILLINGS IN PARIS), and Austria (ancestral home of Adolph Hitler and one or more of his henchmen, and still anti-Semitic).

      The leftist politicians get the votes of these animals. It is difficult to see what the citizens get. Unless, it is for a share of the ” freebies”. (Forgetting the words of Mrs. Thatcher- that socialists soon run out of other people’s money).
      My views.

      No sympathy for these Europeans.

          Polk,

          Then why are the Germans electing such people as Merkel and her party? Why the greetings and signs at the train stations, WELCOME REFUGEES.? The getting to know you parties on boats?

          There was no Internet Z(nor fax machines) in the Pre and WW2 era. Long distance and overseas phone calls were rare and expensive.

          Thje germans of today-my view (same fro French and others) -far worse; anti Semitic and probably hate themselves and their heritage.

          I think that you are living in a dream world-if only the Germans were such as today’s. I think today’s are worse, much worse.

    Muslims would have no need to continually add ‘perfume’ with a hint of passive aggressive Hitler-esque grievance mongering (snuck in) to explain Islam’s supposed good intentions if the foul stink of reality did not intrude on their façade.

Here are just a just a few examples of how Islam contributes to society and enriches it, courtesy of religion of peace website, and this is just the tip of the iceberg :

So good was the young musalman’s acting, the Hindu boy immediately accepted the invitation. They are taught to lie, deceive, hate and murder at a young age with lessons lifted straight from the religion of peace doctrine the Koran, which is only really fit for wiping the arse.

          So the less praying the more scientific experimentation going on? Then the scientific knowledge coming out of North Korea should be growing exponentially and that land ruled by atheists should be the most technologically advanced nation in the world . I wonder what took them so long to put a silent satellite into orbit? They should have so much extra time on their hands now from getting rid of all that time the people once wasted on prayers. Or maybe they are still praying when no one is looking?????

        • Atheist7 says

          Feb 13, 2016 at 2:00 pm

          For scientific advancement, you need to be able to think freely. Free thought is something that the people of North Korea have very little of. A large number of scientific advances has been made by secular Jews – which is remarkable in view of the relatively small numbers of Jews in the world. There are a huge number of Muslims – and essentially no Noble Prizes given to them. If you are trained to think that all truth comes from the Koran – you are in deep scientific trouble. Neil deGrasse Tyson is a pretty smart Atheist and Francis Collins is a very smart believer. I believe that if they had been raised in strict Islamic tradition, their contribution to the world would be zero.

        Atheist Jews have won such a large % of Nobel Prizes in the sciences, it is astonishing.

        But as far as I know, the BDS ASSHOLES KNOW, DON’T WANT TO GIVE UP THE JEWISH AND ISRAELI SCIENTIFIC AND MEDICAL ADVANCES.

        The L.A. Times recently had an editorial, that a worldwide education group of foreign language teachers should force Israel out. (For forcing Israel out); and the British Medial Association to boycott Israel.

        I AGREE WITH THE BOYCOTT-BUT HAS TO BE 100%–NO JEWISH-ISRAELI OR FROM THE DIASPORA- MEDICAL OR SCIENTIFIC DEVICE, MEDICINE OR ADVANCEMENT CAN BE USED.

        NO POLIO VACCINES (PAKISTAN DOES ENFORCE THIS-KILLING THE MEDICAL WORKERS); NO WASSERMAN TESTS FOR STD’S. NO GENERIC MEDICINES-AS MANY ARE MADE IN ISRAEL. NONE OF THE NEWEST TREATMENTS FOR MS; MD AND PARKINSON’S. ALL COME FORM ISRAEL.

        LET THESE ASSHOLES IN EUROPE ( AND THE PRESBYTERIANS IN THE US) DRINK CAMEL PISS. AND SEE MUSLIM DOCTORS.

        AND, YOU ARE RIGHT.

    “Bostom’s book amply documents the SYSTEMATIC and DESTRUCTIVE character of Islamic jihad, refuting the much-repeated argument that jihad is a “rich” concept that has many meanings and that jihad first of all signifies “inner struggle.” Jihad is FIRST OF ALL WAR, bloodshed, subjugation, and expansion of the faith by VIOLENCE. The book implicitly devastates the fashionable but UNINFORMED OPINION that all religions are elaborations of the Golden Rule. Jihad is everything the Golden Rule is not.”

    The Legacy of Jihad “provides a comprehensive history of jihad.” — Middle East Journal

    German elites who authorized this video and those who made it are FOOLS, LIARS or both. It is seriously underestimates the THREAT of JIHAD, placing the people in a perilous complacency.

    According to American philosopher H. Frankfurt, PhD, ‘BULLSHIT’, is a real problem in the West. ‘Bullshit’, is dangerous because it is not merely a lie. ‘Bullshit’ conveys outright disdain for truth and critical thought.

    The purpose of the German video propaganda campaign is to blunt all critical thought about Islam and convince people not to learn about jihad by self-study…the nanny Government will think for them. The ‘jihad’ campaign is philosophical ‘bullshit’, because the German government really isn’t concerned whether Germans learn about Islam. They want a monopoly of speech about Islam in the public domain. That means: ordinary Germans will be their pupils, and the government will be their only authorized teachers.

    Germans should stop being SERVILE to the crackpot Merkel. Time for a revolt, if not a revolution.

      Very kind of you to say “or”, it is: fools AND liars.

      “….Germans should stop being SERVILE to the crackpot Merkel. Time for a revolt, if not a revolution.”

      Nice one. Raise a hand against a Muslim and you’ll be in prison, faster than you can say: ‘What…?!’ Time for the revolt? That has began. Revolution? Soon, so I am afraid. The harder Merkel, the media and the police clamp down on the Germans, the lower the possibility for a revolt to succeed, thus the greater the only alternative: Revolution. God help us, it is the most powerful and influential, if not important country in Europe. Germany’s productivity is three to four times that of Russia, Germany 80 million, Russia 90 million, ignoring the Kazakhs, Turkmens, etc.
      On the other hand, the knock-on-effect may trigger the other required revolutions, Sweden, NL, Belgium and France – and, dare I say, Britain. I am worried we’ll need one too.

      Germany? They used to call her ‘Mutti’. That’s affectionate for mother. By now many Germans refer to her as the ‘Allah-u-Akbar-Nutte’. The latter is a very, very derogative term for a prostitute.

    The video says: “jihad hasn’t been around since the 16th century”

    This is a horrible lie. Jihads have been called by many Muslim leaders since then, including the Universal Fatwa of 1915 in which the OFFICIAL LEADER OF ALL MUSLIMS, THE SULTAN called for a universal jihad against the Allies of World War I.

    Horrible…disgusting lie.

    Feb 13, 2016 at 10:14 am

    Every statement made in this idiotic video is misleading if not downright false: 98% of references to jihad in all hadiths, ibn Ishaq, and the Quran clearly refer to violent warfare…

    notice all the smoke and mirrors here :

    1. “Nowadays, many muslims differentiate between greater and lesser jihad” – yeh, sure, whenever they go into damage control mode to deceive stupid Westerners…

    2. “During Medina period, Muslim community got entangled in military battles” – how about the truth?: “Muslim community” was a bunch of thug terrorists who squabbled about the booty, who got how many stolen camels, and who slaughtered innocents for Muhammed’s sake… plus “got entangled” was in reality launched offensive raids and terror attacks against all their peaceful neighbors…

    • TheBuffster says

      Yes, “got entangled” is waffle talk that wipes away any fact that might inspire a moral evaluation of that entanglement.

    Feb 13, 2016 at 11:31 am

    Goebbels would be proud. One aspect of the rhetoric of this disgusting pile of falsehoods is that when she describes her personal jihad, it initially sounds like she’s simply proclaiming fine values that – apart from dragging herself out of bed to pray – any civilised person would think are good. But notice, these are mostly reactive virtues – it all implies that she is behaving well AGAINST attacks and bad behaviour from others. Carefully designed rhetoric, that aims to make the audience feel, NOT, ‘oh, Muslims are similar to us, really’ but advances the REAL Muslim agenda – without saying so, the rhetoric clearly implies that Muslims are BETTER than others – who are the ones ‘refusing to compromise’, trying her patience while she does not react (what a joke!) and so on. Yes, Joseph Goebbels, you and your propaganda machine live on

    This is what the Manual of Islamic Law, “Reliance of the Traveller”, says”:

    “Jihad means to war against non-Muslims.”
    “Jihad is a communal obligation.”
    (o9.0, o9.1)
    The Manual is available as a free download.

    My struggle is to help educate contemporary Americans about the real and present danger from Islam. This cult is so systematically evil that many refuse to believe the stark reality.

    “Reforming” Muslims to be respectful and tolerant will be a failure, so i guess the next answer is to deceive their non-Muslim citizens. The German Government seems to have taken on the Islamic practice of deceit with enthusiasm.

    • DFD says

      Dave J says: “My struggle is to help educate contemporary Americans about the real and present danger from Islam… The German Government seems to have taken on the Islamic practice of deceit with enthusiasm.”

      Most of your people are sleeping, believing since they have a rifle they are secure. Plus big-talk on the internet, anonymously of course. I think percentage wise the Europeans are more alert than the Americans. But the death grip of the media…

      Dave, with your struggle you have your work cut out. You say: “The German….with enthusiasm.” No, there’s a lot more going on than meets the eye. The struggle is between the ultra left, socialists, commies and even anarchists, against the center and center right. See the essays from Michael Mannheimer referred to below.

      One of the smoke screens and deceptions for instance is this: “Bringing in (Europe, not ‘just’ Germany) cheep labor which will…” Followed by a torrent of arguments, to prevent people from thinking. Namely, if that were so, why not bringing in Christians with a proven work ethic. Say Philippines, instead of lazy, alien bums? Such people would work for minimum wages and happily assimilate, same basic culture; Roman Empire as civilization and Christianity as the basic ideology, these two forming the roots. Ever thought of that? Why Muslims? Hence the torrent of arguments.

      The propaganda gets more and more hilarious, I just watched that piece, 10PM, being bilingual I did not suffer from translational ‘freedoms’ or ‘best possible accuracies’. My God, what a lot of bull! Incredible!

      To those of you who wonder, the number of resistance in Germany is increasing, and they are very active. Further, German officers who served as Majors and Colonels in Afghanistan are by now Colonels and Generals. They know Islam first hand. Since they are in charge, few years by now, of the military, the German army’s primary training and outlay is on counter insurgency warfare. (see also: Die Afghanistan Connection) Don’t write the Germans off – the last religious war in Germany was more devastating the WW1 & 2 combined. And they aren’t going to wait for the Muslim numbers to increase ad nauseum.

      A lot, I think the vast majority, is more than aware of them. There are several informative websites. Here’s one of them with English as an option, if you want to have a look. http://www.pi-news.org/ (‘pi’ stands for ‘Politically Incorrect’, their hallmark).

      There are some good articles there, essays from a chap by name of Michael Mannheimer: “Eurabia: The Planned Islamization” of Europe, using Denmark as an example, also: “Islam as Victor of Western Value Relativism”. Both available on that website. The interesting part is, for how long that is going on – since the 60’s! Again, since the 60’s! You’ll find it interesting, if you can be bothered.

I have so far lost my BEST friends to this determination of mine. It is a worthy goal though- for my eight grandkids!!!!! The ruination of European Culture, that Americans FORGET that this is where we began, is looming over my head like a huge dark evil cloud. AND THEY CAN’T OR WON’T SEE!

        Linnte, also Dave J:
        Hi,
        Compliments and adoration! You are one of the few not stuck in newsgroups, but going out into the real world; extremely commendable. And thank you for not quitting, despite what you experienced. In the US, go to; http://www.citizenwarrior.com/
        Lots of info on how to speak, how to approach the subject matter. And information sheets, ‘propaganda material’ if you so wish, we have to do that too. Go to the pamphlet section, plenty there. Also about approaches, you will learn how and when to back off. That’s better than losing a friend and potential anti-Muslim. Then how to re-approach.

        You’ll learn how to deal with what is most important, namely those who don’t want to know about it.

        There are other methods, very productive ones, I gladly tell you about these. There’s a tiny problem though, people hop from one thread to the next, and spend their time quoting relevant Quran and Hadith passages. We’ll soon have our degrees in Islamic studies…

        If you are interested, reply and bookmark this page, we can then talk on here in this thread.

        Kind regards

    Jihad, struggle……kampf. The parallels between then and now are disturbing. Are we reliving history?

  32. Wellington says

    Feb 13, 2016 at 2:06 pm

    My understanding is that so-called greater jihad, the spiritual struggle stuff, is the meaning of the word only about 3% of the time in the Islamic texts while so-called lesser jihad, i.e., war, is the meaning of this word around 97% of the time in the same texts. Anyone care to expand further on this—–or correct it if I am wrong here? And may I add how comforting it is to know that 9/11 and all the other 27,000+ incidents of Islamic terror since 9/11 are only examples of lesser jihad and not greater jihad. Whew! What a relief.

    It is also my understanding that offensive jihad can only be declared by a caliph (well, there is one now, no, in Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi) but defensive jihad can be waged anytime by any Muslim in defense of Mo’s creed. Problem is that even the slightest affront to Islam (and many times just an imagined affront like calling a teddy bear Mohammed) can lead to a claim of jihad being “only” defensive and so the distinction between offensive and defensive jihad is often essentially meaningless. In other words, Muzzies are playing word games once again. Anyone care to comment on this too?

      Wellington says: “…comforting it is to know that 9/11 and all the other 27,000+ incidents of Islamic terror since 9/11 are only examples of lesser jihad and not greater jihad. Whew! What a relief.”

      You are mistaken. As every western mis-leader, from your ‘president’ (get a real one please, PLEASE) on downward, and the media will tell you: ‘None of that had anything to do with Islam!’ There you are, it’s not even a lesser jihad – aren’t we stupid?

      Wellington says further: “It is also my understanding that offensive jihad can only be declared by a caliph (well, there is one now, no, in Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi) but defensive jihad….. Anyone care to comment on this too?”

      Have a look, the duty of a claiph:
      https://www.google.co.uk/search?q=duties+of+a+caliph&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8&gws_rd=cr&ei=KLa_Vpa1J8ntUqTsgfgN
      or
      http://tinyurl.com/jcrtqgk

      It is the DUTY of a Caliph to wage a certain number of wars per time frame, a minimum number. Read it up, a Caliph is an international, interfaith troublemaker and warmonger.

      Incidentally, al Baghdadi is usually derided as a Caliph, as if he doesn’t know what he is doing. He is the first real Caliph in centuries, if not longer. He is a learned man, he holds a Phd. in Islamic theology from Al Azhar. He has taken power by force. He is continuously expanding, taking territory. He is enforcing Sharia to the letter. Not only that, most importantly, he is a member of the Quraish, Mohammed’s own tribe – and a real Caliph has to stem from his tribe. Mohammed said so, thus al Baghdadi meets ALL requirements for a genuine, 100% Caliph. That’s why al Azhar never condemns ISIS. Al Baghdadi is *indeed* the closest example of a Muslim after Mohammed. Perhaps that also helps to understand why so many Muslims are flocking to him, swearing oaths of allegiance to him and his Caliphate. It is real, it is Islam, he is Islam personified. His Sharia legal or compliant claim to rule over the entire Muslim world is real. He can actually, legally claim ruler-ship over Saudi Arabia; and he does.

      It is quite funny when the pope says that he is not a real Muslim and he doesn’t understand Islam. Which implies that the scholars at al Azhar don’t understand Islam either and aren’t real Muslims. Isn’t it wonderful how educated our leaders are about Islam?

      Well, that was comment upon your rhetorical question. I hope you found this interesting.

    They only had one ‘Menschenrechtskonvention’ in the picture. They forgot that there are two–ours and the Muslim countries’ one. Then they talk about the jihad in promotion of education–which is why girls’ schools, and schoolgirls, are so frequently under attack in Muslim parts. And the jihad that makes you resolve your differences by argument rather than beating the living daylights out of people–that’s just the law in civilised societies. Taqiyya Central!

    stonings, hangings, crucifixions, burnings, tossing off buildings, and OTHER Forms of “PUBLIC EXECUTIONS”….. which Are NOT merely ISIS -and- “Radical” Related— but Sponsored and SANCTIONED BY Many of THE MUSLIM STATES!!
