Jihad Watch

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

Ramadan Day 2 thought for the day from Robert Spencer’s The History of Jihad

May 18, 2018 11:25 am By Robert Spencer

Since Ramadan is the month of jihad, I’m offering some inspirational statements from Muslim leaders, as quoted in my new book The History of Jihad.

Today’s Ramadan inspiration comes from the sixteenth-century Muslim historian Firishta, who recounted that at Kondapalli in India in 1481,

The Hindus, according to custom, when they saw their chief destroyed, fled in the utmost disorder from the field, and were pursued by the allies with such success that the river was dyed red with their blood. It is computed by the best authorities that above one hundred thousand infidels were slain during the action and the pursuit.

    Hey infidels, dine out early and often this month. Have a drink in public. Savor your freedoms. Muslims want to kill you for doing these things.

      The stated aim of the fast is to experience the lot of the poor and hungry! However many Muslims put on weight during Ramadan as they gorge on food outside the fasting hours. They are also forbidden to drink water, so not only is the fast unhealthy it is also life threatening, especially in hot countries where the majority of them abide.
      I wonder also how many of them bother about the plight of the poor and hungry during the rest of the year

        Muslims are free to drink water and eat as must as they wish between sunset and sunrise. They generally sleep during the day at Ramadan, so in fact assuming they sleep eight hours, they are in fact having the equivalent of a late breakfast when they do it… fasting at Ramadan is therefor no sacrifice.

        It is in fact a paid holiday to party all night and sleep all day at the espense of the employer.

    Ramadan is the annual crescendo for the
    Islamic death cult. Violence and misery are its cornerstones.

    If thou art the dread of wretches to whom death appears the greatest of evils, is not every mortal disease the same? (Diogenes speaking to Alexander the Great)

    • CogitoErgoSum says

      May 18, 2018 at 2:28 pm

      I should give credit to “A Dialogue between Alexander the Great and Diogenes the Cynic” by Henry Fielding (1707-1754}

    So success is measured by how much blood is in the water? Is that an example of divine Islamic logic?

  7. JM says

    May 18, 2018 at 4:29 pm

    Islam is 80 percent brutal domination and 20 percent (perverted) religion. So the higher the death count, the more Allah approves. It was a good day for Islam on its way to ultimately killing 80 million Hindus.

    Last year in NYC, the Streets ran with the Blood of the tortured animals, on the day that Muslims celebrated the end of Ramadan.
    Afterwards, the NYPD hosed the Blood down the drains.
    No Outcry from the Americans that we were allowed to know about. This is Acceptable in the USA, even Celebrated. SICK!

      Did this “blood-washing” event make the nation-wide news? Why doesn’t any of the media report such horrendous things?

    • gravenimage says

      Jun 18, 2018 at 10:00 pm

      This certainly happens in Dar-al-Islam. I don’t know if this Muslim barbarism has reached the West, though.

    Uh, NO amount of fasting is going to save Moslems, regardless of what Islam teaches.

    By the way, they seem to salivate at the sight of blood, something that is demonically inspired, that is the case with satanists too and the demon possessed. Google and you will see.

    Mohammed was a self-obsessed political megalomaniac who used people and religion to advance his own greedy personal ambitions, and (as someone else on this site so aptly summed it up) ‘Allah’ was his glove-puppet act to fool the gullible masses. He’s not the only one to try this sort of confidence trick, but all the others in more recent times have eventually come unstuck, as one should expect with dubioua operations of this sort. Mohammed’s scam has survived as the longest-running one in human history because it validates base human instincts under a cloak of plagiarised fraudulent piety reinforced by blatantly criminal gangland protection-racket tactics to keep the whole ill-gotten empire intact. It’s because the ‘Great Prophet’s’ successors have learned to perpetuate this sham with no resistance from any organised forces of law and order that we still have it with us today. Hitler pulled off a very similar stunt but didn’t try openly to con the masses with a ‘Messiah’ routine because he didn’t need to ans it might have been counterpriductive with a less gullible target audience. He failed because he met strong organised resistance, just as islam did in Europe up to the siege of Vienna. But would anyone have succeeded in stopping the Fuehrer and his henchmen by crying ‘Shame’ in theie faces? You’re not going to have any more luck with Nazism’s progenitor, islam.

    • BC says

      May 19, 2018 at 3:46 am

      Whether or not Hitler desired ‘messiah’ status he was elevated to it by Goebbels propaganda machine. Even at the end when Germany was crumbling down around them, many Germans were still saying ‘Hitler will save us’! They really thought he could work miracles.
      I recommend Ian Kershaw’s book ‘The End’ for a detailed examination of the final months of Nazi Germany

      Speaking of a Hitler muhammud comparison, there is a video by a user named the Apostate Prophet who critiques such a comparison:

      “Hitler & Muhammad (Short) ” by the Apostate Prophet

      https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qs5C3iccSho

      An interesting analysis.

    • bouboulina says

      Yes, the end of the siege of Vienna was memorialized &celebrated in one way with the creation of the “croissant”–the waxing moon symbol of islam was symbolically destroyed by the Christians & Jews eating it in effigy so as to never forget the threat it represented. Unbelievable that we are witnessing such a huge resurgence of something so false & antithetical to civilization & mere individual human existence as is islam. Of course only criminal minds would welcome in such insanely murderous notions.

    I never heard of this bloodbath in NYC of tortured animals ! And this was at the end of Ramadan?
    Can somebody explain what that was all about. Is this really true?

    • gravenimage says

      Jun 18, 2018 at 10:11 pm

      Eid al Fitr involves the slaughter of animals–often out in the streets. Roads in the Muslim world often run red with blood. Here are a couple of sickening images:

      Here’s Dhaka,Bangladesh:

      https://i.ytimg.com/vi/r-b_RHG41Jw/hqdefault.jpg

      I don’t know if Muslims are trying to do this in the West yet–it is probably only a matter of time.

    I love the idea of a a ramadam thought for the day.

    But how about THIS for the ultimate islamic challenge?

    …OBEY A COMMANDMENT OF THE ACTUAL GOD DAY

    If they could take time out from their false 5 a day false piety show to their antichristian,antJewish{koran 9:30)god of hate allah….

    You could repeat it in a 10 day cycle.

    You could have a ..

    Thou shalt NOT kill anybody day (and explain to the muslim the error of k2v191){Really tough one..}

    Thou shalt NOT commit adultery day ..or polygamy..or use women as sex slaves k4:3, k4:24

    Thou shalt NOT steal from the infidels day (as allah is ok with it in koran 48:20)

    Thou shalt NOT bear false witness by taqqiya/tawriya/kitman/muruna day{Tough one..}

    You could also have a “LOVE THY INFIDEL NEIGHBOR AND TRY NOT TO MURDER HIM” day
    in opposition to allah’s callous,antisocial { and 2nd chief Commandment-of-God violating..}

    “Oh ye who believe!Take not the Jews and Christians ”
    koran 5 v 51

    ..and his command to “slay the unbelievers wherever you find them” koran 2 v 191

    Other possible days:

    God Bless Israel day

    Moses is NOT a muslim! day

    Mazal Tov to the Israeli IDF for protecting their God-given homeland day

    Jihad in India – Sita Ram Goel

    1481 story

    still continuing today …..

    Jihad never ends…

    https://www.scribd.com/document/78119550/Jihad-in-India-Sita-Ram-Goel

    This book compiles the documents of the Calcutta Quran Petition and provides extensive commentary on them. The stated goal of this book is to promote a public discussion of Islam as a religion, particularly its claim that every bit of the Quran and the Hadis has a divine source. This claim is used at present to prevent a close examination of what the book contains and what message Islam has for mankind at large.

    This is the Third Revised and Enlarged Edition.

    JIHAD IN INDIA¶S HISTORY
    Ch. 6 of Section I of
    The Calcutta Quran Petition

    Sita Ram Goel The principles of Jihad elaborated in countless compendia composed by Islamic scholars, have been generalized from concrete practices of the Prophet and confirmed by Allah through³revelations´

    in the Quran. In turn, these principles have guided all swordsmen of Islam throughout these fourteen countries and in many lands.

    India has had a prolonged experience of Jihad from the day when the first Muslim army stepped into Sindh in 712 CE and won its first victories after suffering a number of defeats for 78 years.
