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

Turkey’s Erdogan issues veiled threat of Jewish genocide, refers to statement of Muhammad about Muslims killing Jews

Dec 11, 2017 5:26 pm By Robert Spencer

Turkish president #Erdogan issues a veiled threat of killing each and every Jew with a shocking reference to apocalyptic prophecy of tree story. pic.twitter.com/DIaOtd7tZL

— Abdullah Bozkurt (@abdbozkurt) December 11, 2017

Here is the fullest version of the hadith, which appears many times in shorter forms in the two hadith collections that Muslims consider most reliable, Sahih Bukhari and Sahih Muslim:

“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)

Is Erdogan saying that it is now time for Muslims to start killing Jews, or rather, to step up their ongoing efforts to kill Jews, so as to bring about “the last hour”?

    Now THAT should be sufficient reason to expel Turkey from NATO.

    I hope President Trump has been informed of the implications of Erdogan’s latest effusion.

      I sincerely second you. Time has come for Turkey to be expelled from N.A.T.O for good. No Muslim country could ever be trusted as a loyal and genuine friend of the WEST .They ,in general, are enemies of the Jews and Christians and will remain so till eternity. Sir. Winston Churchill was spot on when he said that ISLAM IN A MUSLIM WAS LIKE RABIES IN A DOG.

      Yes–it is absurd to consider Turkey an ally of ours.

    Erdogan: please explain this to me and to your people:

    “”…the land of the People of Israel..That We(Allah) gave to Moses after We destroyed Pharaoh..Belongs to the People of Israel till We bring them back again in the last days”
    Quran
    Surah 17:100-104.

    Yes. The Quran. Just read it again.

    Here is a translation regarding his statement from another site:

    “Those who think they own Jerusalem better know that tomorrow they will not even be able to hide behind trees,” in a a reference to widely circulated Islamist prophecy of hunting down and killing every Jew before the Day of Judgement.

    Erdogan is a true Muslim in the tradition of Mohammed. Decent people condemn both of them.

    interesting, but tangential, search results for “Gharqad” at Shahih Bukhari,
    muhammad said everyone’s fate was predetermined,
    and elsewhere is recorded as having said that allah chooses who believes and who doesn’t,
    so, how can it be that there is “no compulsion” ?

    One of the more powerful malevolent men of our time is Erdogan (and his face proves, easily so, the truth of Orwell’s observation that everyone by fifty has the face they deserve—-yeah, just take a look at his face for confirmation here). And echoing dda, Turkey under Erdogan remaining in NATO makes a mockery of what that alliance was formed for in the first place, i.e., the promotion and protection of freedom.

    Islam knows nothing about freedom and when Turkey was taken into NATO (1952), while it was not a free country, neither under what Ataturk had set up was it an Islamic country—-except in theory. Indeed, I remember attending a talk by Daniel Pipes in Philadelphia not long after 9/11 (c.2004) wherein he noted that under the secular regime established by Ataturk (Mustapha Kemal) if a Turkish officer, who was himself not religious, had a brother who went on the pilgrimage to Mecca, he was dismissed from the service.

    No longer, eh? Time is thus way overdue to kick Turkey out of NATO, but I very much doubt this will happen because accurate knowledge of Islam in the West still remains largely an unknown by Western elites, even including Trump (though his instincts about Islam are sound) let alone useful idiots like May, Francis I, Trudeau and Merkel.

    Perhaps Turkey will leave NATO on its own. I believe that inveterate enemy of freedom, Erdogan, has threatened such. But, as has been shown time and time again, Muslim threats are ordinarily boastful and idle ones. For NATO’s sake, for the West’s sake, it would be good for freedom and the West if Erdogan has not been bluffing here. If only.

      Yes–Turkey does not belong in NATO.

    How can you possibly allow people who are faithful to that religion into the United States? If someone is a member of an organization, obedience to which demands eventually killing you and/or members of your family, who on earth would invite them to live in their home? Sleep well, America!

  10. Edgar Allan says

    I am sure CNN, NBC, the NY Times and others are going to call Erdogan out on this genocidal rant immediately, and will shame him just like they shame Trump and Netanyahu. poopy francis will remind him that authentic Islam is opposed to every form of violence.

    Remember too, that Erdogan has previously threatened that the citizens of Europe will not be able to walk safely on their streets (tick…), and that his PM has threatened “Holy War” against Europe……

    Mr Spencer, you lied. Erdogan never said that Muslims will start killing Jews. Mr Spencer hates his original home country Turkey too much. Why?Quran and hadiths never command Muslims to kill Jews indiscriminately. The prophecy in the Hadith that Muslims will fight Jews towards the end of this physical world is not a license that Muslims shall start killing Jews indiscriminately.It is a prediction of what will happen in the future. Mr Spencer should spare his time to learn the techniques of interpretation of Islamic sources to avoid mischief.

      “Quran and hadiths never command Muslims to kill Jews indiscriminately.”

      Of course not Ibrahim.

      They are both very clear on how to discriminate which Jews and unbelievers should be killed:

      The ones that refuse islam.
