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

Jerusalem video: Muslim who stabbed Israeli security guard says he did it “for Allah’s sake”

Dec 10, 2017 5:58 pm By Robert Spencer

Clearly Abu Al-Keraa misunderstands Islam, the religion of peace. We can only hope that the learned imams Pope Francis and H.R. McMaster are on their way to Nablus now to explain to him how authentic Islam and the proper understanding of the Qur’an reject every form of violence.

“Bus station terrorist: ‘I did it for Allah,'” by David Rosenberg, Arutz Sheva, December 10, 2017 (thanks to the Geller Report):

The terrorist responsible for Sunday afternoon’s stabbing attack at the entrance to Jerusalem’s central bus station hinted at his plans to attack Jews “For Allah’s sake” in a Facebook post just hours before the incident took place.

Police have identified the terrorist from Sunday’s attack as Yassin Abu Al-Keraa, a 24-year-old Palestinian Authority resident.

Closed-circuit television footage from the scene shows the terrorist approaching a metal detector at the entrance to the central bus station in Jerusalem and removing his coat – only to suddenly draw a knife and stab a security guard standing nearby. Abu Al-Keraa fled the scene immediately after stabbing the guard.

The guard, roughly 35 years of age, is in serious condition, suffering a stab wound to the heart. He has been evacuated to Shaarei Tzedek Hospital in Jerusalem.

Hours before the attack, the terrorist, a resident of the PA-controlled city of Shechem (Nabulus) in Samaria, Abu Al-Keraa, wrote on his Facebook account that he hoped to “raise the banner” for “Allah’s sake”.

“For Allah’s sake we rose up, we wish to raise the banner…to let our religion [Islam] exult once again, and to make the Al Aqsa Mosque [on the Temple Mount] once again be resplendent.”

“Please let our blood be spilled – for it is of little matter to spill one’s blood for our homeland, for Jerusalem, and for the Al Aqsa Mosque.”

Authorities say Al-Keraa had legally obtained a temporary residency permit for the Seam Zone outside of Jerusalem, but was not permitted to reside in Jerusalem itself.

The attack comes just days after President Trump declared that the United States recognized Jerusalem as the capital of Israel, and announced plans to relocate the US Embassy in Israel from Tel Aviv to the Israeli capital city….

    THEY ALWAYS DO IT FOR ALLAH’S SAKE !

    when do the western people get it that it is a sick ideology ???

    • mortimer says

      Dec 10, 2017 at 7:54 pm

      Western people must first learn the IDEOLOGY before they can ‘get sick of it’.

      Al Walaa wal Baraa is the teaching that Muslims muse hate the DIRTY KUFAAR ‘for the sake of Allah’. Since Allah hates the kufaar because they exist, Muslims are obliged to hate them too, for no other reason than that… monkey see: monkey do.

      Dirty kafirs exist so that Muslims may hate them collect ‘BOUNTY’ for persecuting and killing them in jihad.

      Jihad is the doctrine that Muslims are bounty hunters who hunt, capture, enslave and kill the dirty kufaar ‘for the sake of Allah’.

        True, Mortimer. Even now, most in the West do not know this.

    Yes. This was an attempt to perform a human sacrifice to ‘allah’ the arab demon of blood and war. Jews and any other kind of non-Muslim being ‘designated prey item”.

    It is NO DIFFERENT from the ritual murder of Lee Rigby in the streets of London; or the ritualised mass murder of non-Muslim victims at the Bataclan, or in Nice, or at Orlando, Florida, or … Mumbai 2008… or, just to pick a couple of examples from further back in history, the ritualised mass murders of Armenian Christians, or of Bulgarian Christians in the 19th century.

      Dec 10, 2017 at 8:01 pm

      Agree. Islam teaches that the lives of kafirs are not sacred, therefore ‘Killing them is a small matter for us’. (Tabari IX:69)

      -‘Allah and Muhammad humiliated every coward and made our religion victorious. We were glorified and DESTROYED them all. By what our Apostle recites from the Book and by our swift horses, I liked the punishment the infidels received. Killing them was sweeter than drink.’ – Ishaq:576

      -‘So Muhammad began seizing their herds (of the Jews) and their property bit by bit. He conquered home by home.’ – Tabari:VIII.116; Ishaq: 511

      -‘After the Messenger had finished with Khaybar Jews, Allah cast terror into the hearts of the Jews in Fadak.’ – Tabari:VIII.129

      -“The Prophet said, ‘Hear me. By Him who holds Muhammad’s life in his hand, I will bring you SLAUGHTER.’” – Ibn Ishaq:130; Tabari: VI.101

      -“Allah said, ‘A prophet MUST SLAUGHTER before collecting captives. A slaughtered enemy is driven from the land. Muhammad, you craved the desires of this world, its goods and the ransom captives would bring. But Allah desires KILLING THEM to manifest the religion.'” (genocide by Divine Command) – Ishaq:327

        The savagery of Islam is almost unspeakable. What they want is for us to be terrified. So we should become fearless.

    Allah is the root of all evil.

    • mortimer says

      Dec 10, 2017 at 8:07 pm

      Ren, ‘Allah’ is a figment used by Mohammed for the emolument of Arabs. The root of Islam is Arab racial supremacism.

      • Ren says

        Dec 10, 2017 at 9:24 pm

        @mortimer

        Racial supremacism is not a flaw if it insists upon good values. Arab supremacism aka islam is about inequality and the denial of freedom. That is why it is evil.

      • gravenimage says

        Dec 10, 2017 at 9:38 pm

        Arab supremacism is indeed a part of Islam–but Jay Boo is right–most Muslims are not Arabs, and Arab Christians are not waging violent Jihad.

        • Ren says

          Dec 10, 2017 at 11:25 pm

          @gravenimage

          Although most muslims are not arabs, they have internalized the arab muslim mindset.

        • gravenimage says

          You are correct, Ren.

    Dec 10, 2017 at 8:17 pm

    Robert Spencer points out that Abu Al-Keraa understands Islamic doctrine when he conducts jihad ‘for the sake of Allah’.

    Islamic clergy, sheikhs and mullahs explain the duty of ALL Muslims to HATE THE KUFAAR ‘for the sake of Allah’:

    – from a lecture given by Sheikh Abdullah al-Faisal (H.A.): “The implication of al-Baraa is that one HATES for the sake of Allah (SWT)…Al-Baraa means to recognize who your enemies are and to HATE them and EXTERMINATE them in their Endeavour to get rid of your Deen, al-Islam…Al-Baraa is to HATE the people who propagate Baatil (falsehood)—the Muslim should HATE them and (at least desire to) KILL them when the time comes.”

  5. No Fear says

    Dec 10, 2017 at 10:34 pm

    He did it for Allah? Did Allah send him an email saying “Stab a few security guards” ?

  6. More Ham Ed says

    Dec 10, 2017 at 11:38 pm

    I don’t understand why this kind of thing is still happening, you’re a security guard, IN JERUSALEM, surrounded by unholy ko ‘ran follwers, at least wear a lev3 vest, and order anyone approaching you to STOP, if they don’t stop then shoot. Stabbings of security guards should not be occurring.

    • rich says

      Dec 11, 2017 at 1:08 am

      superb point, Ed. forreal. dude, youre in ISRAEL. in JERUSALEM. and it is about two days after abbas called for terrorism in Jerusalem. youre working SECURITY. dude. at a checkpoint/metal detector. and you allow a ‘twenty something’ arab MALE to stand next to you for a minute or so without looking up? without being ON GUARD??

      i have already prayed for this man and i hope he lives. but as a “security” guy myself, that was my first reaction too. SITUATIONAL AWARENESS anyone??? my goodness. YOU are the first person you are there to protect. i hope other security officers there learn from his mistake.

      • More Ham Ed says

        Dec 11, 2017 at 2:12 am

        That is correct, thanks for the mini-discussion, very on-point.

    Islam is sounding more like a horror fiick …..stabbiing in the heart is a definite hate crime.I hope he survives. they need metal detectors five feet in front of the guards or any entry.

    24 years old makes Yassin Abu Al-Keraa a child of the Oslo Accords, first signed in 1993.

    The Oslo Accords are a set of agreements between the government of Israel and the Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO): the Oslo I Accord, signed in Washington, D.C., in 1993 and the Oslo II Accord, signed in Taba in 1995.
    Police have identified the terrorist from Sunday’s attack as Yassin Abu Al-Keraa, a 24-year-old Palestinian Authority resident.

    The vile, vicious attempted MURDER of a perfect stranger! Someone you’ve never even met! And has done nothing to you!
    How very ISLAMIC!
    ONLY THE CHILDREN OF SATAN could even conceive of such a vile, hateful, AND COWARDLY act!
    Bravo! Yee child of Satan!
    May a Policemans bullet speed your way to HELL, with your vile, child diddling (NOT A) prophet! ?

    ****************************
    Situational Awareness, indeed!

    At this time of Christ-mass, when peace and goodwill are supposed to be spread and felt and known….
    ….the violence and vitriol stemming from the Muslim world’s theater of macabre and the Muslim world’s
    chamber of torturous instruments are what get chosen, instead of bridging divides and finding reason as a way to connect God’s creatures.

    Sad proof of Islam being really a Religion of Pieces. Pieced together with scripture scraps from other religions/cultural/belief systems in order to justify its claims and fabrications, all the while also calling for pieces of human flesh to be drawn and quartered as bounty for Allah’s altar to claim Paradise’s booty — all so that the Dar al-Harb can become one with God. (Their God not ours.)

    Despicable ideology, so full of disgust. If people could truly taste it for what it is, they’d spit it out!

    Tragically ironic that something like this “faith full of faults” — which should have no place in modern educated life — would even be practiced let alone be defended by academics and religious leaders, politicians and military leaders.

    At least General Flynn was deeply wary of the enemy we face. The Establishment always wants to get rid of the whistle blowers and the courageous ones in our midst trying to do us service, but get in the way of Establishment agenda.

    What’s the deal with H.R. “Pufnstuf” McMaster, anyway? He should learn from Spencer, not ignore him.

    Perhaps it’s time for a specific video called:

    “The Necessary Education of General McMaster”

    Our dear security guard is in stable condition and “somewhat better”. He’s not out of danger yet.
    I pray that he makes it and makes a full recovery.
