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

Netherlands: Sermon calling for jihad and martyrdom preached in at least one Turkish mosque

Feb 18, 2018 6:48 pm By Robert Spencer

Yes, in a few years, the people who attend this mosque will be loyal, productive members of Dutch society. Won’t they?

The Netherlands, and Europe is general, is teetering on the edge of the abyss.

Here is the Turkish text of the sermon, and here is an English translation:

“Jihad preaching in Hoorn,” by Silvan Schoonhoven, translated from “Jihadpreek in Hoorn,” De Telegraaf, February 17, 2018 (thanks to VH):

Hoorn – A war sermon about jihad and martyrdom dictated by Turkey was presented in at least one Dutch mosque yesterday. In Hoorn, from the pulpit came the declaration that the Turkish army was fighting a sacred battle and that Turks should strive for martyrdom.

With this dictated sermon, the Turkish government wants to give religious support to its controversial attack against Kurds in Syrian Afrin.

Minister Koolmees (Social Affairs) wants to sort out the case. When jihad is preached in mosques, he finds it “very serious.”

The sermon preached in Hoorn is recorded by De Telegraaf, translated and compared with the official text from Istanbul. It is unclear in how many Turkish-Dutch mosques the dictated war text was also preached yesterday. 140 prayer houses in the Netherlands are affiliated with Diyanet. This religious ministry in Ankara sends weekly sermons for all Diyanet mosques in Europe.

Dutch-Turkish imams write, according to the Diyanet representative in The Hague, their own sermons. He even claimed yesterday that the war sermon was not spoken anywhere in the Netherlands. “That is a lie. That is not possible. We have been using our own sermons for one year instead of the official texts from Turkey. The Dutch sermon for this Friday was about charity.”

‘Sacrifice everything’

In the Hoorn mosque could be heard this: “Our soldiers show the whole world that we are sacrificing everything to protect our faith, flag and country. (…) Every son of our country who, in the power of his life, drinks the sweet nectar of martyrdom, shouts at us. (…) The one who dies in the way of Allah, never call him dead, but call him alive.”…

Koolmees says that he certainly does not want Turkish-Dutch youngsters, inspired by preaching, to carry out the “Turkish jihad.” “We have to prevent that.”

    This is happening all over the West.

      It will continue until the intelligence agencies of Western countries begin to DEPROGRAM MUSLIMS RIGHT OUT OF ISLAM by supporting the translation of COUNTERJIHAD materials into all the languages used by Muslims. EXAMPLE:

        Mortimer, the responsibility of intelligence agencies is to identify and track jihadis, and to foil plots. It is not their job to ‘deprogram’ Muslims.

        • Mark Frantzen says

          Stella and Benedict;

          You are missing Mortimers point by a country mile. No need to go on a tangent about deprogramming, even though your point is taken. There should be an outrage in the world, led by the media and Christians. Instead we have silence and people blabing about whether deprogramming is the correct notion.

      • Benedict says

        Feb 19, 2018 at 6:52 am

        mortimer: The word “deprogramming” in connexion with humans is inhumane. It suggests that the human brain can be treated as a computer processing electronic inputs. It ignores what is essential to being a human: the human heart. You can earnestly plead with and call upon the conscience of Muslims in order for them to leave their hateful and resentful belief system, but you can’t “deprogram” a Muslim without fixating him in the same misery he already got stuck in as a Muslim: being a mechanical puppet, a reciting parrot and a needle that got stuck in the groove of a vinyl record believing that this is the ultimate way to find favor with God.
        So please scrap this fixed idea of yours.

    I read that Turkish mosques in one European country were financed by the Turkish government and the Imams are appointed by the Turkish government and they are paid as Turkish civil servants. Presumably this is true all over Europe and they operate as a state within a state. Integration is the last thing on their agenda.

    • Save Europe says

      Feb 18, 2018 at 9:12 pm

      You’re right, but it’s ultimately irrelevant which Muslim Country or sect they’re financed by. Whether it’s Sunni Turkey, Sunni Saudi, Sunni Qatar or Shiite Iran – their goal is to expunge all non Muslims.

    (1) Yes the Turkish Diyanet writes the sermons preached at Turkey’s state-supported Sunni mosques;
    (2) Yes the Turks support mosques all over Europe, where there are many expatriate Turks;
    (3) Turkish strongman ruler Erdogan has boasted publicly about using the mosque pulpits to tell his expatriates never to assimilate to western culture (and probably a lot more), and also boasts about the flow of intelligence that comes to him from his imams abroad;
    (4) Criminal threats and actions toward non-AKP Turks and also foreign critics of Erdogan’s rule have been demonstrated to originate at some Turkish embassies. I’m not aware of any connection being demonstrated between unlawful acts and communications originating at the Turkish mosques;
    (5) Those familiar with recent Turkish history may recall that the Sivas Massacre occurred following delivery of Friday sermons and resulted in the lynching-by-arson of an Alevi conclave. Film footage of the occurrence can be accessed on line and is terrifying;
    (6) Turkey has recently built and staffed a Diyanet building in the Maryland suburbs of D.C. I don’t know how many mosques in America—-if any—-are delivering Diyanet sermons regularly or otherwise.

    Erdogan will probably try to launch a two front war. Engage USA troops in the middle east and at the same time order Turks in Europe to attack non Muslims wherever they are. The Trump administration and NATO will by caught by surprise. Trumps advisers are blinded by the belief that Turkey is a true NATO ally. They are ignoring what Erdogan is actually doing.

    Treat Erdogan like an enemy not an ally. Let the Turkish people know that Jihad-ism will destroy Turkey. We are in this situation because USA planners have been prevented from knowing what really motivates the enemy. Mr. Spencer has pointed out this clearly.

      Erdogan stated that he intends to use European welfare and large families (think multiple wives) to take over Europe. If he uses open warfare too soon (in the next 5 years), the Europeans would easily win.

    • Bev says

      Feb 19, 2018 at 10:56 pm

      I agree. Erdogan wants to be Caliph. We can’t let that happen.

    When jihad is preached in mosques, Minister Koolmees (Social Affairs) finds it “very serious.”

    Minister, you expose your lack of knowledge.
    Jihad is always preached in mosques.
    Jihad is Islamic doctrine.
    Jihad is “warfare against non-muslims”, and is “a communal obligation”.

    Please, Minister, begin the learning curve.

  7. MFritz says

    The real challenge for any imam is not to keep preaching jihad and martyrdom. It’s to find passages in the Quran that DO NOT preach them.

  8. Ray Jarman says

    Feb 19, 2018 at 3:12 pm

    I wish government leaders would wake up and use the proper name for these attacks, both physical and inciting violence which is sedition. The use of the word jihad is misleading since it provides cover for them by claiming that jihad is only a commitment to be more islamist when it is surely a call to war against all non-muslims. To over through the existing government and its foundations is by definition sedition.
