“If a land is occupied or plundered, it should be liberated from the occupiers and plunderers, even if this leads to the martyrdom of tens of millions of Muslims.”
That is an Islamic imperative, based on the Qur’an’s exhortation to “drive them out from where they drove you out” (2:191).
Sabri speaks about the death of tens of millions of Muslims. Destroying Israel would also lead to the deaths of millions of Israelis, but that doesn’t bother him. This is because Islamic law teaches that the lives of non-Muslims are worth less than the lives of Muslims. “The indemnity for the death or injury of a woman is one-half the indemnity paid for a man. The indemnity paid for a Jew or Christian is one-third the indemnity paid for a Muslim. The indemnity paid for a Zoroastrian is one-fifteenth that of a Muslim.” — Reliance of the Traveller, a classic manual of Islamic sacred law (o4.9)
“Florida Friday Sermon – Imam Hasan Sabri: Palestine In Its Entirety Should Be Liberated, Even If This Leads to the Martyrdom of Tens of Millions of Muslims,” MEMRI, October 12, 2018:
During a Friday sermon at the Islamic Center of South Florida, Imam Hasan Sabri criticized U.S. President Trump’s “Deal of the Century” as “treason,” and said that Palestine in its entirety is Islamic land. “If a land is occupied or plundered, it should be liberated from its occupiers and plunderers, even if this leads to the martyrdom of tens of millions of Muslims,” he said. The sermon, delivered on October 12, 2018, was posted on the ICOSF YouTube channel. For previous sermons by Imam Sabri, see MEMRI TV clips 6558 and 6540.
Imam Hasan Sabri: Oh servants of Allah, know that Allah wants each and every one of you to be a man with a cause, rather than an animal in human form. A true human being rises above his urges and needs, and adopts principles that he never relinquishes, regardless of the circumstances – non-negotiable principles for which he lives and dies. That is a man with a cause. Take the Palestinian cause, for example. It is not being plotted against with a deal they call “the Deal of the Century.” Why do they call it a “deal”? Because whoever is involved in this treason is not a man of principles. These are peddlers, not men with a cause. All they want are positions and jobs. That is why for them, the cause is nothing but a deal, a matter of give and take. For them, it is nothing but a deal. But what is the position of a believing Muslim about the Palestinian cause? That Palestine in its entirety is Islamic land, and there is no difference between what was occupied in 1948 and 1967. There is no difference between this village or that village, this city or that city. All of it is Islamic waqf land that was occupied by force. The responsibility for it lies with the entire Islamic nation, and the [Palestinians] should benefit from this land. If a land is occupied or plundered, it should be liberated from the occupiers and plunderers, even if this leads to the martyrdom of tens of millions of Muslims. This is the ruling, and there is no room for discussion or concessions.

“Even If This Leads to the Martyrdom of Tens of Millions of Muslims”
Not including him, of course.
Apparently not all that interested in all those virgins.
mortimer says
The Middle East was conquered by the British Army and then held in trust by Great Britain and France.
‘Palestinians’ did not exist as a nationality at the time. Arabs in the region did not ‘OWN’ the Palestine Mandate when Israel came to independence. They cannot say that Israel ‘stole’ anything from the ‘Pallies’.
Israel declared independence from Great Britain.
jule says
This may be the story they tell themselves but it is no more a truth than Mohamed flying to Jerusalem or Abraham taking Ishmael to build the Kaaba together.(early Yemeni built the alter for other gods.) As a matter of Fact, Palestine is the Greek name for Yisrael from the Hellenistic era. I feel compelled to tell the simple but complicate reason for the name Palestine. In Hebrew, Yisra is struggle/wrestle. After Yacob supposedly wrestled the angel, el, or Elohim, he was called Yisra el. get it? ‘the one who wrestled the power, el.’ Greeks invaded way before Rome. It was during the Hellenistic period and they made the official language Greek, the way a conquest goes, (though indigenous talk to each other with their own & none said Palestine.) Wrestle/struggle in Greek is Palaistes. ‘INE’ is ‘followers of. Palaistine followers of the one who wrestled power, el (an old deity of the region) (Philistine is a Greek name too with a different meaning. It means Crude, without culture referring to the Sea People (pirates) from the Aegean who invaded Gaza and stayed on. People have almost let OTHERS forget and wipe the memory of Israel (Yisrael)=Palaistine. Palaistine did not come from the Greek name Philistine at all. They were for different groups (to digress for a minute I will say the joke was that Arabs, who came later after Islam was created,(after 650AD) have no ‘p’ in their language. so they said Filistine (Philistine) and Falestine (Palaistine) which sound the same to them but Arabs were not even in the picture yet. Back to the Hellenistic Era of Israel….Greeks translated the Hebrew Torah into Greek Septuagint(old Testament) from Hebrew with a group of scholars meeting in Alexandria Egypt during BC times & spread it to the ‘West’. So everyone who read Greek (could not read Hebrew) as all the regions called ‘the West’ called the Holy land of Yisrael=Palaistine. Rome read it. When Rome conquered, they called all the Levant up into Syria all Palaestina with Latin spelling, and they called all the mixes of people living there Palaestinians. The Bedouin Palis, the Armenian, old Canaanites now callled Palis, Hittite, Perizite, the Egyptian Palis, later the Christians Palis, Phoenician, Assyrian Palis BUT ALL mixed up with left over Greeks, and Aegean, Babylonians etc. This was an area on the Trade route & people traveled though & some stayed and built bases…so they were all called Palaestinians to Rome. All the Levant up into Syria even. No one inside those tribes used that foreign ‘western’ name. They all had their own. Not until Arafat saw how useful it could be, since all the west called Yisrael Palestine & since Arabic had no ‘p’ but only the F sound (Falistine=Palestine & for Philistine=Filistine…..wow, tell the world Muslims are The Palestinians while Jews used their own name Yisrael and everyone in the west will think Arabs were original (with a Greek name) So devious. Yisrael (Hebrew)=Palestine Greek then Roman. Babylon called them Jews because Babylon captured Judeas group (the son of Jacob who collected all the ancient tablets and whatever and organized the Torah. So Babylonians renamed Judeans Jews (Later, Cyrus the Persian King (who were from some old Aryan tribe up North who went through very ancient India (time of the Vedas) and on to settle in Persia(Greek name) but really Aryan (Iran), did take them back to Jerusalem and rebuilt their 2nd Temple) All the West called them Palestine. This region and its peoples were ruled by so many countries Egypt, Greeks, Assyrians, Romans, Babylonians, Persians, French for a brief while but a plaque got to them, Arabs, Christians, Mongols awhile, Mamluks, Ottoman. Everyone wanted Yisrael. This rambles through time but it is simple that Early Hellenistic era used Greek and called Yisrael, Palaistine, and the Septuagint was translated into Greek for everyone of ‘the West’ to read. Later it went to Latin, German and then English. Greek used to be a well known lang, & a big Empire, but look at it now. (could be us if not careful)

That is going to happen. The revelation says there will be a 200 million army coming against Israel and it will be perished. Still they are not going to get the land.
Elisha says
The end has already been written. Islam will be destroyed:
Deal with them as with Midian,
As with Sisera,
As with Jabin at the Brook Kishon,
Who perished at En Dor,
Who became as refuse on the earth.
Make their nobles like Oreb and like Zeeb,
Yes, all their princes like ZEBAH AND ZALMUNNA,
Who said, “Let us take for ourselves
The pastures of God for a possession.” – Psalm 83:9-12
So ZEBAH AND ZALMUNNA said, “Rise yourself, and kill us; for as a man is, so is his strength.” So Gideon arose and killed Zebah and Zalmunna, AND TOOK THE CRESCENT ORNAMENTS that were ON THEIR CAMEL’S NECKS. – Judges 8:21
“I will feed your oppressors with their own flesh, And they will become drunk with their own blood as with sweet wine; And all flesh will know that I, the LORD, am your Savior And your Redeemer, the Mighty One of Jacob.” – Isaiah 49:26
Then the word of the LORD of hosts came, saying, “Thus says the LORD of hosts, ‘I AM EXCEEDINGLY JEALOUS FOR ZION, yes, WITH GREAT WRATH I AM JEALOUS FOR HER.’ “Thus says the LORD, ‘I WILL RETURN TO ZION and will dwell in the midst of Jerusalem. Then Jerusalem will be called the City of Truth, and the mountain of the LORD of hosts will be called the Holy Mountain.’ – Zechariah 8:1-3
“The Lord will save the tents of Judah first, so that the glory of the house of David and the glory of the inhabitants of Jerusalem shall not become greater than that of Judah. In that day the Lord will defend the inhabitants of Jerusalem; the one who is feeble among them in that day shall be like David, and the house of David shall be like God, like the Angel of the Lord before them. It shall be in that day that I WILL SEEK TO DESTROY ALL THE NATIONS THAT COME AGAINST JERUSALEM.” – Zechariah 12:7-9
Iran will nuke Saudi Arabia:
A harsh vision has been shown to me; The treacherous one still deals treacherously, and the destroyer still destroys. Go up, Elam, lay siege, Media; I have made an end of all the groaning she has caused. – Isaiah 21:2
“The kings of the earth who committed fornication and lived luxuriously with her will weep and lament for her, when they see the smoke of her burning, standing at a distance for fear of her torment, saying, ‘Alas, alas, that great city Babylon, that mighty city! For in one hour your judgment has come.’ … Then a mighty angel took up a stone like a great millstone and threw it into the sea, saying, “Thus with violence the great city Babylon shall be thrown down, and shall not be found anymore … And in her was found the blood of prophets and saints, and of all who were slain on the earth.” – Revelation 18:9-10,21,24
For THE LORD HAS CHOSEN ZION;
He has desired it for His habitation.
“THIS IS MY RESTING PLACE FOREVER;
Here I will dwell, for I have desired it.” – Psalm 132:13-14
The LORD ROARS FROM ZION
And utters His voice from Jerusalem,
And the heavens and the earth tremble.
But the Lord is a refuge for His people
And a stronghold to the sons of Israel.
Then you will know that I am the Lord your God,
DWELLING IN ZION, MY HOLY MOUNTAIN.
So Jerusalem will be holy,
And strangers will pass through it no more. – Joel 3:16-17
I am bringing My righteousness near; it is not far away, and My salvation will not be delayed. I will grant salvation to Zion, My splendor to Israel. – Isaiah 46:13
And one of the elders says to me, “DO NOT WEEP. Behold, THE LION of the tribe of Judah, the root of David, HAS OVERCOME to open the scroll and its seven seals.” – Revelation 5:5
PRAISE THE MIGHTY NAME OF JESUS CHRIST, OUR REDEEMER!

Florida: Imam says “Palestine in its entirety is Islamic land”
……………….
In other words, Muslims seek the utter destruction of civilized Israel.
mortimer says
Agree with GI: they want to destroy the government, army, air force and navy and police of Israel. Good luck. Ain’t gonna happen.
Delusional much? Yes they are.
Prior to the Ottoman Empire, various self-styled caliphs owned and operated the region. The League of Nations dismantled the Ottoman Empire and gave UK and France the responsibility of guiding the region to independence. They did.
TRANSJORDAN, now Jordan is the Arab sector of former Palestine designated for Arabs only. Enough. That’s the two-state solution.

“If a land is occupied or plundered, it should be liberated from the occupiers and plunderers…”
OK. Then let’s liberate Istanbul and rename it as Constantinople. No? Oh, you mean that liberation bit only applies to Islam? Says who?
The religion of endless animosity claims that: What it holds belongs to it and what the unbelievers hold also belongs to it. Rather selfish and delusional; much like divorce when one party makes unrealistic demands. The ranting only provides wry amusement for the observers.
Frederick Revell says
This imam obviously does not know the Koran which says Allah gave the Holy land to Israel and the Jews will return in the end times. More moderate imams have YouTube posts confirming this.
gravenimage says
This was when Jews were–somehow–actually Muslim. That is how Muslims think.
Frederick Revell says
The Koran in these verses calls the Jews the”people of the Book”. I have yet to see anyone including Muslims disagree with the view that this refers to Jews and Christians. Please read Sura 5 circa verse 20 and Sura 17 verse 104. Very clearly the Jews
gravenimage says
Frederick, Muslims claim that Jews (and Christians) corrupted their holy books, which (supposedly) was at one time in agreement with the vicious Qur’an.
Never mind that there is no historical or archaeological evidence for this.
FYI says
And the imam doesn’t know that other book which allah says he wrote:yes,the Bible{koran 3:3}in which it is made clear that Israel ,as the homeland of the Jews,was to be re-established.
So Israel exists by full permission of God!
Joel 3
Frederick Revell says
Correct, the Holy Bible says the Holy Land is God’s gift to the Jews so does the Koran, there is agreement in the books, but even then Muslims ignore them both causing trouble in the world. Sign of the “End Times” ?
gravenimage says
Actually, the Qur’an makes it clear that the only agree with the mythical Bible that agrees exactly with the Qur’an. Muslims claim that Jews and Christians have corrupted the Torah and Gospels.
Never mind that there is no historical or archaeological evidence for this ridiculous claim.
Frederick Revell says
Of course they try to rubbish the Holy Bible because they believe the Koran replaces it by will of Allah, hence Ramadhan. I don’t care what they think there Koran is clear the Holy Land was given to the Jews by Allah, their God.
FYI says
Not according to the prophetic teachings in that book that allah says he wrote and which he even confirms as being true.
No,no,not the koran :the Bible{koran 3:3}
Book of Joel 3
Of course the reason WHY muslims don’t get it, is because they fail to understand that allah is NOT the Actual God{of Moses, of Israel}
allah is the “best of deceivers” k3:54,which is true ,as he has fooled muslims into thinking he’s God,falsely claims to have written the Bible and appears to not to understand Biblical prophecy concerning God’s promise that the Jews would get Israel back as their homeland.
It is very,very, hard for the brainwashed followers of islam to differentiate between the God of Israel and allah “the best of deceivers”{seriously,there is a BIG CLUE in k3:54}
The key is to understand that allah is NOT the Biblical God:muslims of course,cannot see that…they are too busy being lead astray by allah the champion deceiver,an antisemitic god who is really the same as the god of goliath{and which is WHY,attempts to destroy Israel won’t work:just as David walloped goliath,the Actual God of Israel will bring catastrophe on its enemies.Those who understand Biblical prophecy and the difference between God and allah the champion deceiver should easily see that…}
The Jews are ENTITLED to their own God-given land:if moslems think they can take what is not theirs{and they really won’t get this..}they will see that their allah “the best of deceivers” is NOT the God of Israel:it never ends well for islamic nations if they try to destroy Israel…
Ren says
Islamic land is not on this earth. It is on the planet of the apes.
David Grisez says
This Imam like other Islamic clerics has it all wrong. The land of Israel is not Islamic land belonging to Muslims and the Palestinians. Their only claim on the land is that in times past Muslims fought and conquered the land of Israel. But this land belongs to the Jewish People, not the Muslims.
infidel says
Of course anything that non-Muslim occupies, their lands, property, and women belong to this POISONOUS DOCTRINE… Even the Antarctic for goodness sake! Wait for some mad Mulla to declare Jehaad on the hapless penguins and seals of the Antarctic because these animals do not chant the toxic verses…
Prabh says
What about Zarathustra’s peoples? What about Yezidi? What about the Dharmic communities of the Levant – there are disciples of Guru Nanak scattered amongst various tribes of the world? Sikh Faith and Vedanta (Hinduism) are for all intents and purposes virtually identical. Yes there are differnces between various Dharmic sects but what binds us together is greater. (All Dharmics are into deep ecology, reincarnation, higher states of consciousness, veg ethic etc. ideal of ahimsa and saint-soldier)
There are also ISKCON (Hare Krsna) devotees internationally.
Not everyone in the ‘middle east’ is a moslem – far from it. And not everyone’s sacred tongue is Arabic or Chinese – lots of other mother languages worthy of existence, expansion and growth.
Mother, mother tongue and motherland are all divine and sacrosanct: this is fundamentals of Dharma 101.
Just because someone keeps spewing the same islamojihad propaganda 24/7 ad nauseam does not make it accurate.
Prior to Mohamad prophet, we were NOT in an age of ignorance, far from it.
