Canada: Muslim who called killing Jews “sacred duty of jihad” was on Windsor Multicultural Council welcoming Muslim “refugees”

Mar 4, 2016 12:39 pm By Robert Spencer

“The Knife Intifada was born orphan from the womb of a bereaved mother, but the sons of this sacred place with the determination of the heroes will be mentioned in history of this nation that in the midst of the current events there was a group which recognized the right of the sacred duty of jihad!”

“Abu Huraira reported Allah’s Messenger (may peace be upon him) as saying: The last hour would not come unless the Muslims will fight against the Jews and the Muslims would kill them until the Jews would hide themselves behind a stone or a tree and a stone or a tree would say: Muslim, or the servant of Allah, there is a Jew behind me; come and kill him; but the tree Gharqad would not say, for it is the tree of the Jews.” (Sahih Muslim 6985)

“Canadian editor suspended from Multicultural Council after praising jihad against Israel,” by Jonathan D. Halevi, CIJ News, March 4, 2016 (thanks to Blazing Cat Fur):

Mohamad Hisham Khalifeh (محمد هشام خليفة), a Canadian of Lebanese descent, the founder, CEO and Editor in Chief of Al Forqan Newspaper‎ (جريدة الفرقان) printed in Windsor, Ontario and distributed in Windsor, London and Detroit, was suspended from his position with the Windsor Multicultural Council.

The Windsor Multicultural Council is a body that receives funds from Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada and is intimately connected with the welcoming and resettlement of Syrian refugees.

Following CIJnews report on Khalifeh’s editorial lauding the Palestinian knife attacks aimed Israeli Jews as a “sacred duty of jihad”, the Jewish human rights organization B’nai Brith Canada urged the Ontario government to “launch a full investigation of the paper and particularly the offensive editorial.”

“This is a positive first step by the Multicultural Council while it investigates Mr. Khalifeh’s writings,” said Michael Mostyn, CEO, B’nai Brith Canada. “However, it calls into question how he was originally vetted for his position. To ensure that Syrian refugees are not exposed to radical Islamist ideology in Windsor, it would be prudent for the Council to re-examine the backgrounds of all of their staff and volunteers.”

When asked by the Windsor Star (March 3, 2016) to comment on his controversial editorial, Khalifeh was quoted as saying the following: “That’s not correct. It wasn’t said in that phrase. The editorial was saying we support Palestinians resisting the Israeli occupation. That’s the main thing… We don’t support any terror attacks on civilians,” Khalifeh said. “But we do support all kinds of resistance.”

Mostyn noted that the term “all kinds of resistance” used by Khalifeh is “is doubly concerning as in Jihadist parlance, the current campaign of so-called ‘resistance’ against Israel explicitly means murder and violence against innocent civilians.”

According to the Palestinian al-Quds Center for Research, from October 2015 to February 2016 Palestinians murdered 33 Israelis and injured 440 Israelis in 120 stabbing attacks, 90 shooting attacks, 29 car ramming attacks, 1,121 explosive charges and firebombing attacks and 3,321 rock throwing attacks. In addition, 50 stabbing attacks were thwarted.

“We encourage all concerned Canadians to contact their local Member of Parliament and demand that the Government ensure that the resettlement of 25,000 refugees not be tainted by those who espouse support for terror,” added Mostyn. “Al Forqan is not the only Arabic language newspaper to publish content which praises violence and ‘resistance’. Syrians escaping the ongoing violence must not be subjected to hatred and radicalization as they attempt to start a new life in a free and multicultural Canada.

Khalifeh’s editorial (originally in Arabic)

“The Duty of Jihad

“Everyone carries out the jihad in his/ her way, that what said to me one of the pilgrims [in Mecca] and this summarizes the course of events in our Arab and Islamic countries, armies and parties, weapons and munitions, rockets and [fighter] jets… and the Palestinian teenager is [standing] alone wielding a knife in his hand, defending the honour and dignity of every Arab and every Muslim, and moreover every person. He [the Palestinian teenager] does not accept the injustice in the face of the Zionist usurper.

“The Knife Intifada, initiated by the sons of al-Quds [Jerusalem] who scarified their souls, exposed the falsity of the allegations made by those who espouse the duty of jihad and fight in Syria and Iraq and everywhere but not in Beit al-Maqdis [Jerusalem]. The executions of Jerusalemites (children, women and elders) did not move the manhood in the heads of the leaders of the Arab and Islamic nation! The violations against the holy site in al-Quds [Jerusalem] have not affected those who protect the holy shrines! [Note: the killing of the Palestinian terrorists during attack by Israeli forces is portrayed by the Palestinian Authority and Hamas as “executions”]

“The Knife Intifada was born orphan from the womb of a bereaved mother, but the sons of this sacred place with the determination of the heroes will be mentioned in history of this nation that in the midst of the current events there was a group which recognized the right of the sacred duty of jihad!

“Unlike the one who claims everyday that he is defending al-Quds [Jerusalem] and draws on a map the way towards it. You would see them in all countries but Palestine, such as Hezbollah [in Lebanon],

ISIS [in Iraq and Syria], the fundamentalist jihadists [in the Muslims countries], the Houthis [in Yemen], Boko Haram [in Nigeria], Popular Mobilization Forces [in Iraq] etc., all of them want to liberate al-Quds [Jerusalem] but they lost the compass!!!

May Allah forgive those who truthfully knew the way to al-Quds [Jerusalem]. May Allah forgive the Caliph Umar ibn al-Khattab [who conquered Jerusalem in 635] and the leader Salahuddin Al Ayyub [who conquered Jerusalem in 1187]. I’m asking Allah to give victory to the youths of Palestine and every freeman who does not accept injustice and shame.”…

      Muslims are descended from apes and pigs.
      That is an undeniable Qur’an based fact.
      Even Muslim Brotherhood’s Morsi admitted this.

      It is my understanding that we (Canada) are in a declared state of “war” with the Islamic State – The huge debate about withdrawing our CF 18s from the fight as a case and point. This is in my opinion, but what PM 2.0 and the Liberal government are doing adds up to nothing more than aiding the enemy in a time of war…because this man is not a terrorist…he is an ENEMY COMBATANT and should be handled as one. The PM’s tolerance of this is in my opinion nothing short of “Treason” and the PM and The Liberal Party should be dealt with and held totally responsible (criminally and civilly) once the attacks start on Canadians, I did say that if they start but when; because anyone who has any experience with the Islamic world knows….it’s coming! or did I get my facts wrong and miss the Islamic memo?

    Duty of Jihad
    Just an excuse like Islam itself
    Kick Islam off its Pedestal.

    Islam is not, nor has it ever been complicated.
    Therein lies its VULNERABILITY
    Muslims wish us to see Islam as complicated.

    Yes it is convoluted, evasive and tedious, but certainly not complicated.
    Islam is a shameless excuse — nothing more.

    Vigilantism means ordinary Muslims have the duty to protect Sharia law by taking the law into their own hands. Mohamad Hisham Khalifeh has given his personal support to vigilantism, thus making him unfit to serve in any public office in a country based on the rule of law.

    Muslims have a separate and foreign law…a self-made law (made by 10th century mullahs). In that respect, Muslim Sharia vigilantism is similar to the vigilantism of the Ku Klux Klan.

    Canadians should listen closely to Ontario Supreme Court judge Sir William Mullock’s ruling against the KKK.

    He wrote that their vigilantism was “a crime against the MAJESTY OF THE LAW. Every person in Canada is entitled to the protection of the law and is subject to the law. It is the SUPREME DOMINANT AUTHORITY controlling the conduct of everyone, and no person, however exalted or high his power, is entitled to do with impunity what that lawless mob did. The attack of the accused and his companions upon the rights of this girl was an attempt to overthrow the law of the land, and in its place to set up mob law, lynch law, to substitute lawlessness for law enforcement which obtains in civilized countries.”

    Civilized countries do not allow vigilantism, but they will not remain civilized unless they RESTRAIN VIGILANTES FROM IMMIGRATING.

    Muslim vigilantes must be kept out.

      “Vigilantism means ordinary Muslims have the duty to protect Sharia law”
      ————————-

      A very provocative first sentence
      I knew you would not be able to resist this Muslim duty concept Mortimer.

      Yet you avoid a reply to my recent follow – ups — hours ago

    “Syrians escaping the ongoing violence must not be subjected to hatred and radicalization as they attempt to start a new life in a free and multicultural Canada.”

    Keep bringing in Muslim ” refugees and asylum seekers ” by the million and Canada won´t be a free and multicultural society for long.
    Freedom and multiculturism will be replaced with monoculturism and sharia. Freedom and multiculturism are anathema to Islam and Muslims.

    A True story about General “Black Jack” Pershing.
    Born September 13th, 1860 near Laclede, Mississippi
    Died July 15th, 1948 in Washington, D.C.
    1891 Professor of Military Science and Tactics University of Nebraska
    1898 Serves in the Spanish-American War
    1901 Awarded rank of Captain
    1906 Promoted to rank of Brigadier General
    1909 Military Governor of Moro Province, Philippines
    1916 Made Major General
    1919 Promoted to General of the Armies
    1921 Appointed Chief of Staff
    1924 Retires from active duty
    Education: 4 Years-West Point
    One important thing to remember is that Muslims detest pork because they believe pigs are filthy animals. Some of them simply refuse to eat it, while others won’t even touch pigs at all, nor any of their by-products. To them, eating or touching a pig, its meat, its blood, etc., is to be instantly barred from paradise and doomed to hell.
    Just before World War I, there were a number of terrorist attacks against the United States and it’s interests by, you guessed it, Muslim extremists.
    So General Pershing captured 50 of the terrorists and had them tied to posts execution style. He then had his men bring in two pigs and slaughter them in front of the, now horrified, terrorists.
    The soldiers then soaked their bullets in pigs blood, and proceeded to execute 49 of the terrorists by firing squad.
    The soldiers then dug a big hole, dumped in the terrorist’s bodies and covered them in pig blood, entrails, etc.
    They let the 50th man go. And for about the next 42 years, there was not a single attack by a muslim fanatic anywhere in the world.

      This story has been debunked. Pershing was a very ethical man.

    “I’m asking Allah to give victory to the youths of Palestine and every freeman who does not accept injustice and shame.”…

    I’m lead to believe after reading this that Khalifeh wants non-Muslims, and Palistinians to wage Jihad for Al Quds, because amongs the slaves of Allah who have surrendered their will otherwise known as “Muslims” are there any freemen among them whom he begs allegiance from?

    Where Muslims rule, is there anyplace where freemen roam free to think and aspire free things without fear of death? What is “Palestine” then except more oppression and tyranny, and why should freemen support such a thing for Muslims?

      “Where Muslims rule, is there anyplace where freemen roam free to think and aspire free things without fear of death?”

      Yes, very interesting. Where are the great philosophers and multiculturalists of the vaunted Cordoba era? That seems to be exception that defies the ‘rule’ that Islam is all about religious tolerance, women’s rights, and democracy. This single point in time that is continually cited as the shining example of Islam at its best – why has it never been replicated in the modern era? Just another myth of Islamist apologists.

      • Myxlplik says

    Robert, It’s most interesting that Mohammed is speaking a blasphemy in his FB posting. He states that he is glad to be welcoming the Syrian refugees on his birthday and New Year (January 01,2015). Does this mean that Mohammed recognize the Christian New Year as the true New Year and NOT the Muslim New Year? There are some Canadian Muslims, I’m sure, that won’t appreciate public blasphemy.

    Yes to Diversity
    No to Islam

    Islam means no Jews no Christians no Sikhs no Buddhists and no other religions either
    No women,they must be sheeple or ELSE
    Islam means no homosexuals ,restricted entertainment no freedom of speech

    No criticism of the Moslem overlords,or their completely cruel prophet.No criticism of Sharia law which was dredged up from some hell to earth to be promoted by evil man and his bloodthirsty demon who pretends to be the creator.

    Believe me you can save yourself a lifetime of problems and the possibiltity of your children of being born into slavery under sharia law by simply saying no to Muslim immigration.Be a little politically incorrect say no to Muslim immigration until someone puts Islam back in its cage.
