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

Al Quds Day: Deadly Conflagration of Religion and Politics

Jun 20, 2017 7:31 am By Brian Thomas

Wikipedia on Al Quds Day:

Quds Day (Jerusalem Day; Quds is the Arabic name for Jerusalem), officially called International Quds Day (Persian: روز جهانی قدس‎‎), is an annual event held on the last Friday of Ramadan that was initiated by the Islamic Republic of Iran in 1979 to express support for the Palestinians and oppose Zionism and Israel’s existence,[1] as well as Israel’s control of Jerusalem. Nominally, it exists in opposition to the Jerusalem Day (Yom Yerushalayim) celebration instituted by Israel in May 1968, and which Knesset law changed into a national holiday in 1998.[2] In Iran, the government sponsors and organizes the day’s rallies, and its celebration in that country has had, down to at least 2012, a decade-long tradition of voicing anti-Semitic attacks.[3] Quds Day is also held in several other countries, mainly in the Arab and Muslim world, with protests against Israel’s occupation of East Jerusalem.[4][5][6] Rallies are held in verious cities by both Muslim and non-Muslim communities around the world.[7]

I’m quoting Wikipedia because it is never a pro-Israel or pro-Jewish source, so if this has remained up there, it must reflect a version of history that can’t be deemed “Zionist”.

Here is the statement of Ruhollah Khomeini that established it:

I invite Muslims all over the globe to consecrate the last Friday of the holy month of Ramadan as Al-Quds Day and to proclaim the international solidarity of Muslims in support of the legitimate rights of the Muslim people of Palestine. For many years, I have been notifying the Muslims of the danger posed by the usurper Israel which today has intensified its savage attacks against the Palestinian brothers and sisters, and which, in the south of Lebanon in particular, is continually bombing Palestinian homes in the hope of crushing the Palestinian struggle. I ask all the Muslims of the world and the Muslim governments to join together to sever the hand of this usurper and its supporters. I call on all the Muslims of the world to select as Al-Quds Day the last Friday in the holy month of Ramadan—which is itself a determining period and can also be the determiner of the Palestinian people’s fate—and through a ceremony demonstrating the solidarity of Muslims world-wide, announce their support for the legitimate rights of the Muslim people. I ask God Almighty for the victory of the Muslims over the infidels.

— Ruhollah Khomeini[11]

Let’s review:

  • Started by Iran AFTER the Islamic revolution;
  • Marked on the Islamic religious calendar as the last Friday of the “Holy Month” of Ramadan (an overtly religious festival);
  • It’s creation was targeted at all Muslims worldwide (across the great Sunni Shia divide) strictly on account of their following of Islam;
  • It invokes the god of Islam directly to grant victory and supremacy for the Muslims over the infidels.

Al Quds day is fundamentally religious. Holding what the west would consider to be a political rally, based on this, shows the inextricable link between Islamic theology and the Islamic political desire to conquer and rule the world as commanded by their god and their prophet.

There is no separation of “church and state” with this event. There is no way to separate the relentless violent Jihad against the Jews and Israel from the commandments of their god.

When this march takes place in London or elsewhere, they are using the hard won political protections of freedom of speech and assembly that grew from the Judaeo-Christian traditions in the West and perverting them with a religious call to murder in the name of god. There is no question that the event is entirely grounded in what we protect as a religion, yet it is a religion of blood and war that is utterly inverse to Judaeo-Christian religion. It is also at odds with just about every other religion.

Until we recognise that our Western tolerance has been abused, we are powerless to resist this invasion. London will fall, just as Constantinople and Jerusalem once fell.

How long will it take the British to recover their capital when it has fallen?

    Would the British welcome people in fully Nazi gear waving Nazi flags goose stepping in a Parade on public streets of England. Singing songs and screaming about killing Jews over bullhorns. In the 1930s and 40s the world had people pushing for the master race. In 2017 we have people pushing for the master religion on the streets of London for Islam ,Islam which means” submit” . In Islam you are either a believer a slave or dead that is how you “submit”. The leaders of England better let peoples voices their fears open debate on this religion of submit. the progressives game plan of not facing the problem will lead to their failure and civil war the tipping point is in sight.

      Yes, they probably would. But the Germans would probably turn down Theresa May’s offer for the parade, not wanting to move to East London, Birmingham or Manchester and go on the welfare as perpetual victims.

        True ,the leaders of London today in World War two would have invited the Nazis in to take over the country as long as the British leaders could keep a hand in the day to day operations. Today the leaders of Western Europe are giving in to Islamics for temporary stay in power. They “the western leaders” think this giving in playing nice with the beast of Islam will give them time to tame it. The beast will in the end reduce the Western leaders power till their usefulness is done then get rid of them.

      The support and promotion of Islam is orchestrated by the One World Government, i.e. the Globalists. They hate Christianity….and so does Islam. So the Globalist promote Islam…to do their dirty work.

    Miracle of miracles, The Associates For Scriptual Knowledge website predicts a time will
    come when people will want to live among their own kind. Could it be true?
    Would people move back to their own lands? That’s the only way the Western world could
    survive, and the Gospell of our Lord Jesus Christ could be preached worldwide.
    I hope it’s true, but I can’t see healthy young adult refugee men giving up access to Swedish
    girls vagina’s anytime soon.

    OFF TOPIC ( somewhat)

    “Tommy Robinson’s appearance on Good Morning Britain has sparked outrage as the EDL founder attacked the Quran as a “violent and cursed book” the day after the Finsbury Park terror attack.

    Piers Morgan branded Mr Robinson a “bigoted lunatic” and told him to “show some damn respect for people’s religious beliefs” as Mr Robinson held up the Islamic holy book.

    Mr Morgan said: “Now you’re sounding like a complete lunatic. You’re sounding like a bigoted lunatic.”

    This is the kind of abuse that people who try to educate Koran Retards, like Piers Morgan, get when presented with the truth about Islam.

    Piers Morgan, you xxxxxxx retard READ THE KORAN BEFORE YOU CALL PEOPLE BIGOTED LUNATICS.

      Wow, love that Tony! I remember, must have been before 2009 I saw a documentary about about 5 plus guys who infiltrated a radical mosque and took video. I was wondering why they were waiting so long, getting more and more evidence- about 4 months worth of proof that they were going to blow up this and that. They took it to court- in THE FREAKING UK – and Lost! It’s insane. That country is GONE! If you do a search on Jeremy Corbyn- who may be the next leader of country and and his antics around and how people are shouting his name…it’s reminiscint of Germany and Hitler. Do a Google search. It will floor you yet BBC will not tell you anything about him but he’s been active in serious Jew hate for a long time- where there’s a problem (they say it’s a sign. Reminds me of serial killers harming animals before killing people- just my thoughts). But BBC needs to be shut down. I don’t understand why they are so interested in US and they are only focused on negative and nasty comments.
      The English disgust me! Their government treats their people like crap. Feel as if I’m watching an old movie with King battering the people over the head with a club! Lol. Bastards.

      It’s GONE! They say on BBC that Theresa May is a Dead Man Walking. She lost the Conservative party at last vote – probably for criticizing the terrorists! And now they shout her down! They did the same thing in France to Leven and voted for that sissy Macron – or whatever his name is. He’s just a tool for the Muslims. How sad. Europe is done.
      It’s over for all of Europe. Pussies. And England talks about leading the EU while their speaking of Brexit.

    “…How long will it take the British to recover their capital when it has fallen?”

    Answer 1) For practical purposes it has already fallen (just like Berlin, Malmo, Paris and a few others).
    Answer 2) A very long time

      But, but, but that’s because the English are civilised and lawful and don’t want to lower themselves to the level of the people that want to rape, murder and reduce them to living as non citizens in their own homeland.

    Peoplem specially the British, should learn History. Before the Arab invasion, the Mediteranean was part of a Greek-Roman culture, even after the faal of the western roman empire. After the arab invasion, it never recovered. Thde invasion stoped in France, because the francs fought back (literally) and, later on (XV century) in Vienna with the help of the Polish Army. In the Iberian Peninsula, the only place recovered from the arabs, it took 7 centuries to achiev that goal. But times were different, people had real values, knew waht islam was like, and were willing to fight for their lives. That is gone. London will NEVER recover. Sorry.

      Churchill knew and wrote about Islam. But yes, it seems as if every 50 yrs history is FORGOTTEN. But it didn’t take these slogs this long.
      They are a hateful bunch. I feel bad about what they did to Jews and continue to do to Jews. They have NO HONOR.
      Right now they are criticizing Trump, yet they have serious election / leader problems On their Hands! HIPOCRATES. Would you believe they said on BBC a couple weeKS ago that there was NO PROOF that muslim Brotherhood is Terror group. (They played REALLY DUMB)- after all EVERYONE KNOWS that the Muslim Brotherhood is a terrorist group. In fact it’s the original and oldest terror group there is and they know that.
      Now the FIRE GROUP Muslims want reparations, even the ones that are suspected of fighting and being fighters. They know how to cry as soon as they see a camera. I think an Osca is in order. Ugh.

      I think people are too busy with their electronic toys these days to seriously, viscerally comprehend the destructive power of this ill wind. They probably imagine Globalism will salvage the day – but they could end up very wrong, very powerless, and very disposable.

    “they (muslims) are using the hard won political protections of freedom of speech and assembly that grew from the Judaeo-Christian traditions in the West and perverting them with a religious call to murder in the name of god.” -Yes hard won.
    Quality cultual values do not drop out of the sky, they are forged and maintained by the hands of the people that created them.
    Government does not create them and Allah certainly did not create them, we do. Most devout Muslims backwardly think that carrying on as the Koran dictates is what creates a paradise that they already live in and enjoy. Sunni vs Shiah within the UK is at hand, a scale version of middle eastern conflicts.

    Here is a tid bit from Carl Jung with a partial explanation on what has happened in the west that is allowing this to happen. It’s been broached here at JW before, this is a great synopsis.
