Cue the celebrations among the self-proclaimed lovers of death in Gaza and Judea and Samaria.
Islamic supremacists and jihadis frequently affirm how much they love death. Austrian Muslim teenage girls who recently traveled to Syria for jihad announced: “Death is our goal.” Boko Haram leader Abubakar Shekau said: “I’m even longing for death, you vagabond.” A Muslim child preacher recently taunted those he has been taught to hate most: “Oh Zionists, we love death for the sake of Allah, just as much as you love life for the sake of Satan.” Jihad mass murderer Mohamed Merah said that he “loved death more than they loved life.”
Ayman al-Zawahiri’s wife advised Muslim women: “I advise you to raise your children in the cult of jihad and martyrdom and to instil in them a love for religion and death.” And as one jihadist put it, “We love death. You love your life!” And another: “The Americans love Pepsi-Cola, we love death.” That was from Afghan jihadist Maulana Inyadullah.
This idea comes from the Qur’an: Say, “O you who are Jews, if you claim that you are allies of Allah, excluding the people, then wish for death, if you should be truthful.” (62:6)
“Soldier killed after terrorist drops marble slab off building,” by Zvi Manasseh, Lev Haolam, May 27, 2018:
Israeli soldier Ronen Lubarksy, 20, from the central town of Rehovot, was laid to rest in the Mount Herzl military cemetery in Jerusalem at 2am on Sunday morning, two days after he was critically injured during an arrest raid in the Ramallah area, a few miles north-east of the Israeli capital.
He was posthumously promoted to the rank of staff sergeant.
While conducting an early morning arrest raid in the al-Am’ari camp outside Ramallah on Thursday, a squad of troops came under attack as a large marble block was thrown from a rooftop, an IDF representative said.
The IDF said that the soldiers had been sent on a mission to apprehend members of a terror cell responsible for carrying out a number of shooting attacks in the Samaria and Jerusalem areas. One terrorist was arrested in the course of the raid, and two others were also tracked down and arrested later on Thursday….
According to the army, the assailant was not fired upon and is believed to have made a clean getaway….
Martin says
A wonderful “victory” for Muslims all over the world that a young Jewish man was murdered by a Muslim. Have your party and enjoy your great accomplishment, tomorrow is another day, and when a Muslim gets shot by the IDF remember to scream bloody murder.
J D S says
Death to a Muslim…be it his or others is apparently a goal…
If the one killed by a Muslim is CHRISTIAN then that Christian has reached perfection…but a Muslim killed in jihad or other, is bound for that awful Lake of Fire…….He has followed a teaching that has sent him there to be with the one whose teachings put him there…Satan is alive and well and working overtime because he knows his time is limited when he will be bound forever in that awful Lake of Fire with those who have failed to repent.
Henry says
“All those who hate me love death.” (Proverbs 8.36)
Robert Hoffman says
Henry,
Kind of of context. The quote is But those who fail to find me harm themselves;
all who hate me love death.
Flavius Claudius Iulianus says
Where there is Mohammadism, there is pain, suffering, death and destruction. Build an unbreachable border between the Dar al Islam and the Dar al Harb and keep Mohammadans out of the Dar al Harb.
And yes, it is a mistake for Israel to grant citizenship to Mohammadans. Time will prove me right.
Ahava says
I agree with you, Flavius. It has to stop, this brain-dead ideology. But when mankind is not able to do so, G-d will as He promised eventually to do so. We love the Promised Land, which I will visit within a couple of days (Galiea), longing for it as always, at home in (unfortunately) dying Europe.
Ahava says
And, this goes without saying, my deeply meant condolences for the family of Ronan Lubarksy, who is in Paradise now.
abu taleb says
Muslims justify Muhammad’s action on a Jews tribe by accusing some Jews tried to kill Muhammad so Muhammad attacked the tribe, and subsequently, banished the Jews and siezed their properties.
If we use the same logic, then the muslims should not complain about Israel at all. But we know the muslims are always double standard, and say anything for their own benefit without any hesitation.
Karen says
This heinous act must have brought delight to Hussam Ayloush, who is the executive director of the Angeles chapter of CAIR. CAIR, of course is the vile offshoot of the vile Muslim Brotherhood, a terrorist organization that Hillary is just fine with. Mr. Ayloush sees no difference between ISIS and the IDF, the latter’s crime being that they are trying to prevent the extermination of the Jewish state and population.
Karen says
“The Americans love Pepsi-Cola, we love death.”
Actually, yes, I do love Pepsi. And music, TV, movies, silly trends, iPads, restaurants, junk food, fashion, window shopping, reading, walking, seeing, talking, laughing, and a million other silly, fun, joyful, frivolous, pointless things that make day-to-day life so enjoyable. But I also love my country, and its ideals; and my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, and things that make the long view of life *worth living*. How I pity those who love death, per their own proclamation and actions; what curses they are, to themselves, and the world. Why not choose life, and be a living blessing to the world. .
Wellington says
You are kinder than I am, Karen. For those who love death over life (a major feature of Islam—the religion which is a curse to all mankind), I don’t feel pity but contempt. However, I have come across the assertion (by whom I forget) that pity is only one small step away from contempt (which assertion I myself think accurate). So, perhaps we’re closer here on “this issue” than first appearance might lead one to think.
In any case, I aver it is impossible to be possessed of common sense, an overall sound moral intelligence, as well as good general knowledge, and yet still have a positive view of Islam. No way. Can’t be done and I would challenge anyone to prove me wrong here because any good that is in Islam, if indeed one can find any good, can be found elsewhere, and yet so much that is wrong in Islam (e.g., death for apostasy) is deuce difficult to find anywhere else. So what is the damn point of keeping any of Islam around?
I see none.
Karen says
Wellington, we are very close on this issue. Many of the people who braggingly use this line, “we love death”, are hoping others take action, while they hide behind their big talk, living miserable lives of hate. My pity is limited to them; they miss so much. But, it would be impossible to not have utter contempt for someone who acts on this sick idea, and murders a bride on her wedding day, kids at a pizza parlor, families at cafes, enjoying the evening, etc. I fail to see their “spark of divinity”; in fact, I think one has to be quite abnormal to empathize with killers of this sort.
mortimer says
Response to Wellington and Karen: Islam cannot be defended 1) ethically or morally because Islam is opportunistic and thus amoral, 2) historically, because Islam has no PROVENANCE, 3) logically, because Islam is self-referentially incoherent and without any consistent doctrine.
Moreover, HATRED directed towards the dirty kufaar is an ESSENTIAL DOCTRINE (Al Walaa wal Baraa) which ALL Muslims are required to believe and practice.
Muslims who do not HATE kafirs will be excluded from Islamic paradise.

EXCELLENT SYNOPSIS BY ROBERT SPENCE on the LOVE of DEATH in Islam.
WE LOVE DEATH!
-K.62.6. “O ye who are Jews! If ye claim that ye are favoured of Allah apart from (all) mankind, then long for death if ye are truthful.”
-“Convert to Islam, and then you will be safe, for if you don’t, you should know that I have come to you with an army of men that love death, as you love life.” —Caliph Abu Bakr, Mohammed’s Successor
-“According to Hassan al-Banna (founder of Muslim Brotherhood), the Koran enjoins believers to love death more than life. Unfortunately, he argues, Muslims are in thrall to a “love of life.”
-“The illusion which had humiliated us is no more than the love of worldly life and the hatred of death.” –Hassan al-Banna
“As long as the Muslims do not replace their love of life with the love of death as required by the Koran, their future is hopeless. Only those who become proficient in the ‘art of death’ can prevail. “So prepare yourself to do a great deed. Be keen on dying and life will be granted to you, so work towards a noble death and you will complete happiness.” (from ‘The Art of Death’, 1946)
-“Whenever (the Muslim Brothers) marched in close formation through the streets of Cairo, their voices rang out with this song: “We are afraid not of death, but we desire it … How wonderful death is … Let us die in redemption for Muslims”, followed by the chorus, “Jihad is our course of action… and death in the cause of God our most precious wish.” – (quoted in Matthias Küntzel, Jihad and Jew-hatred: Islamism, Nazism and the Roots of 9/11)
-Mohamed Merah (French citizen, jihadist mass murderer) said he “LOVED DEATH more than they (the French) loved life.”
-Ayman al-Zawahiri’s wife advised Muslim women: “I advise you to raise your children in the cult of jihad and martyrdom and to instil in them a LOVE FOR religion and DEATH.”
-“Let America know that we have prepared lions who would LOVE TO DIE and we swear that you haven’t seen the worst from us.” – letter to Lars Vilks
– “We tell them, in as much as you love life, the MUSLIM LOVES DEATH and MARTYRDOM. There is a great difference between he who loves the hereafter and he who loves this world. The Muslim loves death and [strives for] martyrdom.” – Chief Palestinian Authority cleric Mufti Sheikh Ikrimeh Sabri
– We have discovered how to hit the Jews where they are the most vulnerable. The Jews love life, so that is what we shall take away from them. We are going to win because they love life and WE LOVE DEATH.”- Sheik Hassan Nasrallah, the leader of Hezbollah

Ramadan in Judea and Samaria: Muslim murders IDF soldier by dropping marble slab off building onto him
………………..
This poor young man.
Notable that Jews don’t celebrate Passover by murdering Gentiles, nor do Christians celebrate Easter with bloodshed…
Karen says

Karen says
Apologies, a misplaced comment.
R Russell says
Such a waste of a young life. He was only protecting his country.
Many thanks to JW for giving the correct name of the area where he was fatally injured.
somehistory says
aloush and hooper must be so proud.
The True God, in His Loving Kindness, does not forget His children and has the Divine power to act.
satan uses his children in evil acts against the innocent, esp those concerned with serving the True God.
When satan’s children die, they are soundly dead and no paradise awaits. The murderers have shed an ocean of innocent blood and only punishment is their future.
LR says
This poor young, man….May his family and friends be surrounded by love, and protection. Another tragedy of losing a good young man.
Coach Martin says
Israel needs to impove the consequences of terror attacks. Start closing a mosque a week for a death in any attack and a week per rocket attack, to the point where they are all closed. Destroy the launch sites, with or without rocket launcher for every rocket fired, including any buildings. There will be no deaths if this is a predictable response and the civilians run every time a rocket is fired. When ther are no more mosques to close, sell the properties for re-development.
