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

Hamas accidentally admits that Muslims practice their faith “in complete freedom” in Jerusalem

Jul 19, 2017 11:55 am By Robert Spencer

Tripping over their own taqiyya, Hamas has just contradicted its own claims that the Israelis have for years been persecuting Muslims and preventing them from practicing Islam freely at the Temple Mount. In complaining about the recent installation of metal detectors at the Temple Mount, which they should find unobjectionable unless they want to take weapons there, Hamas leaders admitted that Muslims have been able to practice their faith in complete freedom since Israel took control of the Temple Mount in 1967.

“Oops! Hamas Accidentally Admits Muslims Enjoy ‘Complete’ Religious Freedom in Jerusalem,” TheTower.org, July 18, 2017:

An English-language press release issued on Tuesday by the Islamist terror organization Hamas to protest the temporary closing of the Temple Mount by Israeli authorities following an attack there on Friday contained an unexpected, and possibly unintended, revelation.

The Temple Mount was reopened Monday with additional security measures to prevent further violence, including metal detectors—a change that was protested by Palestinians. Hamas on Saturday called for a “religious war” against Israel following the brief closure.

Yet the press release issued by the group on Tuesday contained an unexpected admission. “The recent closure of Al-Aqsa Mosque,” it read, “and preventing Muslims from practing [sic] their faith in complete freedom for the first time in half a century, is a dangerous escalation of the Zionists’ plans to divide Al-Aqsa Mosque and seize full control of it.” [emphasis added]…

Less expected, however, is the release’s stark admission that prior to Friday’s closure, Muslims had been able to practice their faith “in complete freedom for… half a century.” Half a century ago is when Israel conquered the Temple Mount during the June, 1967 Six-Day War….

    A press release that’s destined for the Memory Hole.A miscommunication caused by the insidious distortions [sarc] of Zionist agents, no doubt.

    I don’t think that going through a metal detector is a violation of rights, considering the circumstances.

    If Muslims are going to refuse to go to Al-Aqsa and close other mosques in Jerusalem in protest, I’d say that it’s their choice, no problem with me!

    The point was being made that the freedom to practise their faith was being limited, not that they couldn’t practise their faith before. Hamas stated the truth of the situation. The question is, will Israel allow the Muslims to continue to worship unhindered in that place? I write this from the standpoint of a person who accepts that Islam is an existential threat to the West, and Israel, in general!

    All that inbreeding makes taqiyya so difficult. They do their best with what they have.

    If only the world had enough time for the inbred mongrel Muslims to devolve even further into the DOGS that they are and extinct themselves from an otherwise incredibly beautiful planet…I will enjoy pissing on Muslim graves…

    The only time the Aqsa mosque was closed was when the Israeli police installed new metal detectors.

    SO VERY TRAGIC to install METAL DETECTORS! Oh, the humanity!
