In Islam, a martyr is one who “kills and is killed” for Allah (Qur’an 9:111). Mahmoud al-Khila is trying to make more people think that killing and being killed for Allah, and encouraging others to do so, is a great virtue.
The early conquests that created the Islamic world gained their impetus from an ideology of jihad that created a fearless warrior class: the jihadi was promised the earthly goods and women of the people he defeated, and if he himself was defeated, then the eternal pleasures of the virgins of Paradise.
It was a win/win situation. And as I show in my forthcoming book The History of Jihad From Muhammad to ISIS, which you can preorder here now, this ideology created a war machine the likes of which the world had never seen before. This is the first book to give you a comprehensive history of jihad activity. Relying primarily on eyewitness accounts and those of contemporary chroniclers, I detail the shocking history of how this war machine easily defeated two superpowers and captured and subjugated a massive expanse of territory stretching to Spain and India. Even then the jihadis didn’t stop, menacing Europe for hundreds of years from both east and west, and moving into Central Asia, obliterating historical strongholds of Hinduism and Buddhism. The renowned jihad warrior Tamerlane not only menaced the Christian Byzantine Empire, but even marched toward China to bring jihad to the Middle Kingdom.
It’s an extraordinary story, rendered all the more remarkable for how completely the Western world has forgotten that it ever happened. There is today a prevailing fog of misinformation and disinformation that claims that jihad terror is a relatively recent phenomenon and that the Islamic empires of the past were beacons of tolerance. These historical myths are cooked up not primarily to inform us about history, but to influence our political perspectives today regarding jihad terror, mass Muslim migration, and more. Arm yourself against these falsehoods, and get the truth: preorder The History of Jihad From Muhammad to ISIS today: click here to do so.
“Hamas Culture of Martyrdom – Preacher Mahmoud Al-Khila: Those Next to the Martyr Receive Divine Reward Too, of a Lesser Degree,” MEMRI, April 8, 2018:
Hamas Culture of Martyrdom – Preacher Mahmoud Al-Khila: Those Next to the Martyr Receive Divine Reward Too, of a Lesser Degree
Gaza preacher Mahmoud Al-Khila said that the martyr is not the only one to receive divine reward. “Someone could be standing right next to his brother – one gets martyred, another gets wounded, and a third returns unharmed. … the reward is one and the same, but it is a matter of degree.” He cited a hadith of the Prophet Muhammad, saying that a martyr feels no more pain upon his martyrdom than the sting of a mosquito or an ant. His statements aired on Hamas’ Al-Aqsa TV on April 8.
Mahmoud Al-Khila: “The people who are setting out on the Return marches, and who are stationed out at the borders – borders that, Allah willing are bound to be eliminated…These are people who follow the orders of their factions…If they end up returning to their families – are they really empty-handed? Is the martyr the only one to receive divine reward? Or do the people who were right next to him also receive divine reward? Someone could be standing right next to his brother – one gets martyred, another gets wounded, and a third returns unharmed. Do they receive different divine rewards? We say that the reward is one and the same, but it is a matter of degree. The martyr differs from the other two by ascending to the level of martyrs.”
[…]
Interviewer: “Does the martyr feel pain? Does he feel the pain of his death throes?”
Mahmoud Al-Khila: “The Prophet Muhammed answered this. He said that when a martyr is killed, he does not feel any more pain than he would feel from a sore or from the sting of a mosquito or an ant.”

Voytek Gagalka says
“…a martyr feels no more pain upon his martyrdom than the sting of a mosquito or an ant.”
With all due DISRESPECT to a Mohammedan – a martyr or no martyr – feels absolutely and completely NOTHING when he is “martyred” since dead feels nothing because he CEASES TO EXIST! We don’t need “divine authority” of self-appointed imams to remind us about that!
koka says
That is true, but that is NOT what he is saying. What he is trying to get across to these potential killers is, that the process is dying is painless if it is done for Islam and Allah. We also all noticed, that these preachers vehemently spew this garbage, but somehow they never choose martyrdom with it’s special privileges.
Wellington says
I have long thought that Islam, which is immensely stupid many times over (and as illustrated here by this Muslim preacher), has survived as it has for one reason above all, i.e., because there are many stupid, gullible, foolish specimens of the species, Homo sapiens.
Not sure if this is Reason #1 why Islam has lasted so long but it sure is a “contender” for the top spot.
gravenimage says
Of course, with Islam it helps to be not just stupid and foolish but sadistic and vicious, as well.
Wellington says
Agreed, gravenimage. Sadism and viciousness, characteristic of way too many of our species, serve as just additional acceptable features to Islam.
After all, if the character of Mohammed is not indicative of viciousness (e.g., Asma bint Marwan’s murder being approved by him) and sadism (e.g., a fire being built on the chest of Kinana and as ordered by Mo for Kinana not revealing where a certain amount of treasure was), then whose character is?
I honestly don’t understand how any decent, informed and sensible person can be a Muslim. No exceptions. None.
mortimer says
Wellington, I believe they MAKE THEMSELVES STUPID through SELF-HYPNOSIS and then they LIBERATE THEIR CONSCIENCES with STUPID NONSENSE like the ‘sting of the mosquito’ canard that is meant to be a TROOP MOTIVATOR.
The old CALIPHS were totally AMORAL fellows who used whatever tricks they could so that young men would willingly die for the emolument of the CALIPHS.
SADOMASOCHISM is the emotional subtext of Islam and MARXISM as well. If they are not INFLICTING PAIN on others, then they inflict on themselves.
Aussie Infidel says
Wellington, It’s all about indoctrination and suggestion. Most people do not appreciate how powerful religious (or political) indoctrination is in forming values, attitudes and behaviours. Over time these characteristics establish a virtual ‘concrete’ mindset which is almost impossible to change (cf Pavlov’s dogs). As many on this site have pointed out for years, all of the “sadism and viciousness” exhibited by Muslim jihadis today, were present in Mo himself, as we know from reading the Quran and the other Islamic scriptures. Mo was undoubtedly a sociopath, and unfortunately, because his deeds were written down in those ‘holy books’, they remain to incite generation after generation of his followers ad infinitum.
I would agree with Mortimer that indoctrination is indeed a hypnotic process – it’s just a matter of degree (I practised hynotherapy for many years). And furthermore, the behaviour of jihadis in carrying out their sadistic and vicious attacks, is similar to the outcome of a post hypnotic suggestion. These poor deluded fools automatically carry out the commands they have been programmed to obey.
But the real perpetrators of jihad are the imams and mullahs like Mahmoud al-Khila, who keep stirring the pot in the mosques and madrasas. Without their continual agitation, it is possible that Islam could eventually die out.
We must declare Islam a danger to national security. Close all mosques. And if possible, deport all imams and mullahs. Every one of these agitators – in one way or another – is a jihadist ‘striving in the cause of Allah’.
Islam has no place in a civilized society.
Alembic says
Ditto for the followers of ANY doctrinaire religion (including Christianity, Judaism, Hinduism, etc.) that uses magical thinking & authoritarianism to assert alleged social or metaphysical “truths.” It’s all childish nonsense, and when pro-active violence is added to the mixture, religion becomes nothing less than a form of dangerous mental illness…
Wellington says
Alembic: I am an agnostic but I nonetheless disagree with you about religion in general. Many religions for many people add purpose to their life as well as instilling in them a proper moral ethic. For instance, both Judaism and Christianity possess an ethic which embraces a Golden Rule for all, contra Islam big time. This is not a bad thing. Judaism and Christianity also place much emphasis on the dignity and worth of the individual and thus work quite well with democratic tenets, contra Islam big time again. So, one who is not religious, such as me, can embrace the Judeo-Christian ethic while not embracing the respective theology of these two faiths. Have you never considered any of this?
Moreover, be careful what you wish for because you might get it. As Benjamin Franklin, about as shrewd a human being who ever lived and himself a religious skeptic, observed, if man is bad with religion imagine what he would be without it. The secular ideological disasters of Marxism and Nazism overwhelmingly prove his point, I would argue. Of course, Islam is the major exception to Franklin’s “rule,” but exceptions invariably exist to general rules and thus the general rule is partially vindicated in the final analysis precisely because of the few exceptions to it.
Reconsider things. Besides, even if other religions than Islam, like Christianity, Judaism, Hinduism and Buddhism, are false and silly, followers of these religions are not instructed to use force and kill in the name of their respective faith, and when they did they were violating the tenets of their creed, contra Islam yet again. Muslims are indeed instructed by their profoundly warped religion to use force, even kill, in order to preserve and spread Islam. Huge difference and so be very careful you don’t fall into the trap of moral relativistic thinking, which frankly your post leads me to conclude you already have. Oh yeah, reconsider much.

Here we see how utterly self centered, narcissistic, anti human and repulsive Muslims, brainwashed by the Koran, are: the only pain they consider while murdering, and being killed in the process, is their own pain; not the pain they inflict on their victims and their families and friends.

The Major Classes, by Ibn Sa’d, v. 2, p. 202 الطبقات الكبرى لإبن سعد
وعاش رسول الله، صلى الله عليه وسلم، ول الله، صلى الله عليه وسلم، أصحابه فاحتجموا أوساط رؤوسهم وأمر رسفيه جعل يقول في مرضه: ما زلت أجد من الأكلة التي أكلتها يوم بعد ذلك ثلاث سنين حتى كان وجعه الذي قبضفي رسول الله، صلى الله عليه وسلم، ، وهو عرق في الظهر، وتوخيبر عدادا حتى كان هذا أوان انقطاع أبهريشهيدا، صلوات الله عليه ورحمته وبركاته ورضوانه.
Translation:
The apostle of Allah lived after this three years till in consequence of his pain he passed away. During his illness he used to say, “I did not cease to find the effect of the (poisoned) morsel, I took at Khaibar and I suffered several times (from its effect) but now I feel the hour has come of the cutting of my jugular vein*.”
* ‘the cutting of my jugular vein’: used metaphorically for ‘extreme pain’

saying that a martyr feels no more pain upon his martyrdom than the sting of a mosquito or an ant.
And be not afraid of them that kill the body, but are not able to kill the soul: but rather fear him who is able to destroy both soul and body in hell.
And death and hell were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second death. And whosoever was not found written in the book of life was cast into the lake of fire.”
The martyr may have problems on the second part of the ride.
DHazard says
When I studied Western History in school the Islamic threat to Europe was never mentioned. This was about 30 years ago. Now I find out that the ease with which Muslims conquered the former Roman world was due to a combination of factors that made it relatively easy for them to move in. The first was that Rome and Persia had worn themselves out fighting each other. On top of that there was an extensive plague that decimated their populace. Arabs might have also been motivated to make their mark on the world stage. For hundreds of years they were considered barbarians but generally of no consequence.
Now that I’m thinking about it we didn’t even learn about the conquest of Spain and the practice of dhimmitude. We also didn’t learn about the takeover of Constantinople.
The so called “Golden Age of Islam” corresponds neatly with their moves into places where ancient wisdom was still available. Even then Muslims were actually creating very little, they just stole both the wealth and ideas of infidels. Without the minds and creativity of the West Islam would have never even had this flirtation with modern civilization. Muslims would have remained a footnote in history if not for their desire to rise above, through imitation, their inherent second class status. Since Islam and progress or science don’t mix, the only way Muslims can get ahead is to overwhelm the successful, either from without or within, and TAKE the knowledge and wealth they could never have created on their own.
And now we have given them atomic weapons allowing them to follow Allah’s battle plan on a mass scale. Their ancient grudges have never wavered; kill the polytheists (Hindus), the People of the Book, other Muslims (Shia vs. Sunni) and, at the top of the list, Jews. 7th century views with 21st century weapons. The label Islamophobe is usually used pejoratively but in light of the whole history of Islam it is a completely valid position.
I hate Islam. It is genetically dysfunctional and wherever it goes, death and despair follow.

There’s usually at least one imam somewhere in the chain of every terror attack. Put them in jail, and let them dawah one another. They’ll probably kill one another over minute disagreements.

FYI says
So,the muslim martyr, the Shaheed, imagines allah will reward him in paradise.
A shame muslims don’t follow the True God because then they would know that… God does not spare murderers.
You see there is a commandment of God that muslims don’t appear to know and their god allah doesn’t follow:It’s called the Sixth commandment.
So a muslim “martyr” for example,in particular a jihadist…. will be considered nothing less than a murderer.Besides,unlike a Christian martyr who dies so others may live,the muslim “martyrs” are entirely selfish.No consideration is ever given,for example,to the plight of the VICTIMS of a jihadist bombing:the muslim is too busy thinking of his reward allah will give him(…for doing EVIL!)
Of course such logic would be lost on muslims since they follow the commandment-of-God violating “holy” koran( a book which happily encourages the breaking of God’s laws)
See for yourself by comparing the Bible with the koran;the former emphasizes OBEDIENCE to God’s Commandments{10+2},the koran permits muslims to be DISOBEDIENT to God’s laws(and the +2 laws are of course completely missing in islam/koran)
But then that is obvious when you know that the..
islamic, koranic, antichristian,antisemitic god “allah” is NOT the true Judeo-Christian Biblical God.
If “allah” was the same as God..
allah would not encourage muslims to break God’s Commandments in his “holy”,perfect koran
allah would not have missed the 2 chief laws(Found in Judaism and in Christianity but NOT in islam)
allah would understand Biblical prophecy regarding Israel(….he doesn’t!)
allah would not deny the Jews the role given to them{besides GOD Himself cannot possibly be anti-Semitic…but it is clear that allah is}
allah would not curse the Jews and the Christians k9:30
allah,who says “oh ye who believe!Take not the Jews and Christians for friends”k5:51 would see this as a violation of God’s 2nd chief commandment.
allah would have no interest in a global caliphate(why.. when God already owns the world?)
allah would not get Christian theology concerning the Triune God so COMPLETELY WRONG resulting in 1 the mistaken belief that Christians are polytheists
2 the inability to know where Biblical prophecy comes from(it comes from that aspect of God called the Holy Spirit:since allah rejects this,he has no notion what it is about)muslims blaspheme the Holy Spirit too….as we see from the muslim trolls(something that God won’t forgive..)
I’m afraid the muslim “martyrs” are the very ones who will know God’s anger;of course the muslim laughs at this since they have their god allah in his koran,to misguide them and convince them otherwise.

Since Islam was wholly (not holy) invented by a delusional, individual, why say martyrdom would be painful at all? Would it not be just as accurate to say martyrdom was a glorious, wonderful, enjoyable sensation? Who’s to argue since martyrdom by definition is the death of the individual (who can’t verify either way).
JM says
Going forward, Gaza preacher Mahmoud Al-Khila may have a problem advancing the global caliphate in America. No more pain than an ant or mosquito bite for a jihadi “martyr”, you say?
Meet Psorophora ciliata.
The largest and most aggressive mosquito in the world is the American Gallinipper or the Shaggy Legged Gallinipper. (Psorophora ciliata), indigenous to the United States east of the continental divide.
“At about 6 times the size of the common mosquito, Ps. Ciliata inflicts a powerful bite, said to feel like you are being stabbed!”
http://www.picaridin.info/american-gallinipper.htm
Imagine if all wannabe jihadis in America lived east of the continental divide, where these killer mosquitoes thrive. And for good measure, only in Harris County, Georgia, where Sheriff Mike Jolley and the well-armed citizens would be the welcoming committee. My guess is that the flow of Muslims coming to America would dry up to a trickle in no time.
What’s in it for Harris County, Georgia? President Trump should give them a nice reward package from the money America saves by not doubling down on Obama’s traitorous Iran cash giveaway program. Harris County will then become the most desirable place to live in America, and will become a model for the rest of the country. And of course, Harris county decides who gets to live there, and who has to leave.
In the meantime, the jihadi “martyrs” will lose sleep over the prospect of extremely painful mosquito bites, and lose enough religious fervor to give the civilized world time to recoup and go on the offensive.
The lowly mosquito crushes Islam.
Reap the whirlwind, Imam.
