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

Sanders: “We must speak out when we have a president and an administration who believe that ‘Islam hates us'”

Sep 3, 2019 2:00 pm By Robert Spencer

Because everyone knows that Islam doesn’t hate us and that only greasy Islamophobes think otherwise, right?

The only problem with this is that there are numerous passages of the Qur’an that inculcate hatred for unbelievers.

2:65 Allah transforms disobedient Jews into apes

“And well you know there were those among you [Jews] that transgressed the Sabbath, and We said to them, “˜Be you apes, miserably slinking!”

2:89 Unbelievers, particularly Jews, are accursed

“When there came to them [Jews] a Book from Allah, confirming what was with them — and they aforetimes prayed for victory over the unbelievers — when there came to them that they recognized, they disbelieved in it; and the curse of Allah is on the unbelievers.

2:191-193 Fight and kill unbelievers until “religion is Allah’s,” i.e. Islamic law rules all societies

“And slay them wherever you come upon them, and expel them from where they expelled you; persecution is more grievous than slaying. But fight them not by the Holy Mosque until they should fight you there; then, if they fight you, slay them — such is the recompense of unbelievers, but if they give over, surely Allah is All-forgiving, All-compassionate. Fight them, till there is no persecution and the religion is Allah’s; then if they give over, there shall be no enmity save for evildoers.”

3:28 Don’t take unbelievers as friends and allies, unless it is for “fear of them,” i.e. deceptively for protection of oneself or of Islam

“Let not the believers take the unbelievers for friends, rather than the believers — for whoso does that belongs not to Allah in anything — unless you have a fear of them. Allah warns you that You beware of Him, and unto Allah is the homecoming.”

3:110-112 Muslims are the best of people, Jews have earned Allah’s anger

“You are the best nation ever brought forth to men, bidding to honour, and forbidding dishonour, and believing in Allah. Had the People of the Book believed, it were better for them; some of them are believers, but the most of them are ungodly. They will not harm you, except a little hurt; and if they fight with you, they will turn on you their backs; then they will not be helped. Abasement shall be pitched on them, wherever they are come upon, except they be in a bond of Allah, and a bond of the people; they will be laden with the burden of Allah’s anger, and poverty shall be pitched on them; that, because they disbelieved in Allah’s signs, and slew the Prophets without right; that, for that they acted rebelliously and were transgressors.”

3:151 Strike terror in unbelievers

“We will cast into the hearts of the unbelievers terror, for that they have associated with Allah that for which He sent down never authority; their lodging shall be the Fire; evil is the lodging of the evildoers.”

3:181 Jews are bound for hell

“Allah has heard the saying of those who said, “˜Surely Allah is poor, and we are rich.” We shall write down what they have said, and their slaying the Prophets without right, and We shall say, “˜Taste the chastisement of the burning.–

4:3 Sexual slavery of infidel women

“If you fear that you will not act justly towards the orphans, marry such women as seem good to you, two, three, four; but if you fear you will not be equitable, then only one, or what your right hands own; so it is likelier you will not be partial.”

4:160 Jews do evil, turn people away from Allah

“And for the evildoing of those of Jewry, We have forbidden them certain good things that were permitted to them, and for their barring from Allah’s way many”¦”

5:17 Christians — believers in divinity of Christ — are unbelievers

“They are unbelievers who say, “˜Allah is the Messiah, Mary”s son.” Say: “˜Who then shall overrule Allah in any way if He desires to destroy the Messiah, Mary”s son, and his mother, and all those who are on earth?” For to Allah belongs the kingdom of the heavens and of the earth, and all that is between them, creating what He will. Allah is powerful over everything.”

5:33 Crucify or amputate the hands and feet of those who make war against Allah and Muhammad

“This is the recompense of those who fight against Allah and His Messenger, and hasten about the earth, to do corruption there: they shall be slaughtered, or crucified, or their hands and feet shall alternately be struck off; or they shall be banished from the land. That is a degradation for them in this world; and in the world to come awaits them a mighty chastisement.”

5:41 Jews listen to falsehood and pervert the meaning of their Scriptures

“O Messenger, let them not grieve thee that vie with one another in unbelief, such men as say with their mouths “˜We believe” but their hearts believe not; and the Jews who listen to falsehood, listen to other folk, who have not come to thee, perverting words from their meanings, saying, “˜If you are given this, then take it; if you are not given it, beware!” Whomsoever Allah desires to try, thou canst not avail him anything with Allah. Those are they whose hearts Allah desired not to purify; for them is degradation in this world; and in the world to come awaits them a mighty chastisement.”

5:51 Don’t take Jews and Christians as friends and allies

“O believers, take not Jews and Christians as friends; they are friends of each other. Whoso of you makes them his friends is one of them. Allah guides not the people of the evildoers.”

5:59-60 Jews cursed, made into apes and swine

“Say: “˜People of the Book, do you blame us for any other cause than that we believe in Allah, and what has been sent down to us, and what was sent down before, and that most of you are ungodly?” Say: “˜Shall I tell you of a recompense with Allah, worse than that? Whomsoever Allah has cursed, and with whom He is wroth, and made some of them apes and swine, and worshippers of idols — they are worse situated, and have gone further astray from the right way.–

5:64 Jews accursed

“The Jews have said, “˜Allah’s hand is fettered.” Fettered are their hands, and they are cursed for what they have said. Nay, but His hands are outspread; He expends how He will. And what has been sent down to thee from thy Lord will surely increase many of them in insolence and unbelief; and We have cast between them enmity and hatred, till the Day of Resurrection. As often as they light a fire for war, Allah will extinguish it. They hasten about the earth, to do corruption there; and Allah loves not the workers of corruption.”

5:72 Christians are unbelievers

“They are unbelievers who say, “’Allah is the Messiah, Mary’s son.’ For the Messiah said, ‘Children of Israel, serve God, my Lord and your Lord. Verily whoso associates with Allah anything, Allah shall prohibit him entrance to Paradise, and his refuge shall be the Fire; and wrongdoers shall have no helpers.’”

5:82 Jews most hostile to the Muslims

“Thou wilt surely find the most hostile of men to the believers are the Jews and the idolaters; and thou wilt surely find the nearest of them in love to the believers are those who say “˜We are Christians”; that, because some of them are priests and monks, and they wax not proud.”

6:91 Jews deny, conceal divine revelations

“They measured not Allah with His true measure when they said, “˜Allah has not sent down aught on any mortal.” Say: “˜Who sent down the Book that Moses brought as a light and a guidance to men? You put it into parchments, revealing them, and hiding much; and you were taught that you knew not, you and your fathers.” Say: “˜Allah.” Then leave them alone, playing their game of plunging.”

6:146 Jews insolent

“And to those of Jewry We have forbidden every beast with claws; and of oxen and sheep We have forbidden them the fat of them, save what their backs carry, or their entrails, or what is mingled with bone; that We recompensed them for their insolence; surely We speak truly.”

7:166 Jews are apes

“And when they [Jews] turned in disdain from that forbidding We said to them, “˜Be you apes, miserably slinking!–

8:12 Allah will terrorize unbelievers; Muslims should behead them

“When thy Lord was revealing to the angels, “˜I am with you; so confirm the believers. I shall cast into the unbelievers” hearts terror; so smite above the necks, and smite every finger of them!–

8:39 Fight unbelievers until Islam reigns supreme

“Fight them, till there is no persecution and the religion is Allah’s entirely; then if they give over, surely Allah sees the things they do.”

8:60 Make war against enemies of Allah

“Make ready for them whatever force and strings of horses you can, to terrify thereby the enemy of Allah and your enemy, and others besides them that you know not; Allah knows them. And whatsoever you expend in the way of Allah shall be repaid you in full; you will not be wronged.”

9:5 Slay the idolaters

“Then, when the sacred months are drawn away, slay the idolaters wherever you find them, and take them, and confine them, and lie in wait for them at every place of ambush. But if they repent, and perform the prayer, and pay the alms, then let them go their way; Allah is All-forgiving, All-compassionate.”

9:28 Idolaters unclean

“O believers, the idolaters are indeed unclean; so let them not come near the Holy Mosque after this year of theirs. If you fear poverty, Allah shall surely enrich you of His bounty, if He will; Allah is All-knowing; All-wise.”

9:29 Fight and subjugate the Jews and Christians

“Fight those who believe not in Allah and the Last Day and do not forbid what Allah and His Messenger have forbidden — such men as practise not the religion of truth, being of those who have been given the Book — until they pay the tribute out of hand and have been humbled.”

9:30 Jews and Christians assailed by Allah

“The Jews say, ‘Ezra is the Son of Allah’; the Christians say, ‘The Messiah is the Son of Allah.’ That is the utterance of their mouths, conforming with the unbelievers before them. Allah assail them! How they are perverted!”

9:31 Jews and Christians have taken their clergy and holy men as lords

“They have taken their rabbis and their monks as lords apart from Allah, and the Messiah, Mary”s son — and they were commanded to serve but One Allah; there is no god but He; glory be to Him, above that they associate.”

9:73 Be harsh with unbelievers

“O Prophet, struggle with the unbelievers and hypocrites, and be thou harsh with them; their refuge is Gehenna — an evil homecoming!”

9:111 Paradise guaranteed to those who kill and are killed for Allah

“Allah has bought from the believers their selves and their possessions against the gift of Paradise; they fight in the way of Allah; they kill, and are killed; that is a promise binding upon Allah in the Torah, and the Gospel, and the Koran; and who fulfils his covenant truer than Allah? So rejoice in the bargain you have made with Him; that is the mighty triumph.”

9:123 Fight the unbelievers, be harsh with them

“O believers, fight the unbelievers who are near to you; and let them find in you a harshness; and know that Allah is with the godfearing.”

47:4 Behead and slaughter the unbelievers; take others captive

“When you meet the unbelievers, smite their necks, then, when you have made wide slaughter among them, tie fast the bonds; then set them free, either by grace or ransom, till the war lays down its loads. So it shall be; and if Allah had willed, He would have avenged Himself upon them; but that He may try some of you by means of others. And those who are slain in the way of Allah, He will not send their works astray.”

48:29 Be merciful to believers, not unbelievers

“Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah, and those who are with him are hard against the unbelievers, merciful one to another.”

62:6 Jews should long for death

“Say: ‘”You of Jewry, if you assert that you are the friends of Allah, apart from other men, then do you long for death, if you speak truly.”‘”

98:6 Unbelievers are the worst of creatures

“The unbelievers of the People of the Book and the idolaters shall be in the Fire of Gehenna, therein dwelling forever; those are the worst of creatures.”

But of course only racist, bigoted “Islamophobes” believe there is anything to be concerned about in all that.

“Castro, Sanders court Muslim vote in Houston,” by Patrick Svitek, Texas Tribune, August 31, 2019:

HOUSTON — Democratic presidential candidates Julián Castro and Bernie Sanders pitched their candidacies Saturday to one of the largest Muslim gatherings in the country, earning recognition as the only White House hopefuls to show up and address a voting bloc deeply alienated by President Donald Trump.

Addressing the annual convention of the Islamic Society of North America, Castro and Sanders pledged to overturn Trump’s travel ban, which targets several Muslim-majority countries, and vowed to create a vastly more welcoming environment for Muslims in the United States….

Sanders, the independent U.S. senator, got a particularly enthusiastic response inside the convention hall as he gave a speech that hit on his usual campaign themes while zeroing in on issues specifically affecting the Muslim world, including in foreign policy. He was introduced by his campaign manager, Faiz Shakir, who is Muslim.

“We must speak out when we have a president and an administration who believe — and I quote — that ‘Islam hates us,'” Sanders said, referring to a comment Trump made while campaigning for president in 2016. “We must speak out at hate crimes and violence targeted at the Muslim community and call it what it is: domestic terrorism.”…

      “FREE WILL”

      by Rush ~
      ========

      There are those who think that life
      Has nothing left to chance
      A host of holy horrors
      To direct our aimless dance
      A planet of playthings
      We dance on the strings
      Of powers we cannot perceive
      The stars aren’t aligned
      Or the gods are malign
      Blame is better to give than receive

      You can choose a ready guide
      In some celestial voice
      If you choose not to decide
      You still have made a choice

      You can choose from phantom fears
      And kindness that can kill
      I will choose a path that’s clear
      I will choose free will

      There are those who think that
      They’ve been dealt a losing hand
      The cards were stacked against them
      They weren’t born in Lotus-Land
      All preordained
      A prisoner in chains
      A victim of venomous fate
      Kicked in the face
      You can’t pray for a place
      In heaven’s unearthly estate

      You can choose a ready guide
      In some celestial voice
      If you choose not to decide
      You still have made a choice

      You can choose from phantom fears
      And kindness that can kill
      I will choose a path that’s clear
      I will choose free will

      Each of us
      A cell of awareness
      Imperfect and incomplete
      Genetic blends
      With uncertain ends
      On a fortune hunt
      That’s far too fleet

      You can choose a ready guide
      In some celestial voice
      If you choose not to decide
      You still have made a choice

      You can choose from phantom fears
      And kindness that can kill
      I will choose a path that’s clear
      I will choose free will

    This is the same POS that spent his honeymoon in the USSR and later praised the Bolsheviks while turning a blind eye to the millions starving in the great land of the Communists. I bet if he went to Pakistan or Nigeria and visited a small Christian village while the friendly Muslims were slaughtering the people, he would still be lamenting the passivity of the religion of peace. This is also the hypocrite who denounces all millionaires until he becomes one.

    • Infidel says

      Sep 3, 2019 at 7:32 pm

      To be fair to him, he honeymooned in the USSR in 1987, during Glasnost. I used to be under the impression that in the 1940s, a young Bernie went to Leningrad or Ulyanovsk and was seranaded by the likes of Lavrenty Beria or Yevgeni Malenkov. Wasn’t the case. He honeymooned there when Gorbachyev was attempting to reform the workings of the Soviet system, and when the human rights violations were a lot less than they used to be under Stalin, Brezhnev or Chernenko

      • gravenimage says

        Sep 3, 2019 at 9:41 pm

        True, Infidel. Still a very strange honeymoon destination.

        • mortimer says

          Sep 3, 2019 at 11:25 pm

          Conclusion: Bernie is ‘married’ to communism and Soviet communism ‘married’ him. Bernie is a Stalinist at heart, even though Stalin planned an extermination of all Jews in the USSR and died before it was carried out.

        • gravenimage says

          Sep 3, 2019 at 11:29 pm

          Yep.

  4. Lydia Church says

    Sep 3, 2019 at 2:15 pm

    Uh yeah, newsflash Bernie… islam DOES hate us!
    If he would bother to either read the koran or look at plain history, he would see that, it is overly obvious.

    And domestic terrorism is done by the muslims, not those who are leery of them. But the goal is to turn the tables on that too for the new PC script by the left.

      I would go as far as to label him delusional. And this fool want to become POTUS?

      This might be true, except that he is one of the top Democratic candidates for president.

    Sep 3, 2019 at 2:17 pm

    Just this week I came across an animated map, it showed the territories that came under attack from Muslims in the years since Islam’s founding. The story it told was of hatred writ large.
    Another article was about Beslan, complete with some extremely gruesome photos. The thought occurred to me that the each and every pixel of that animation would reveal a scene like Beslan.
    Robert Spencer’s scholarship and translation of what is contained in Islam’s holy writings, and his explanation of how the nice touchy-feely verses were abrogated by later bloodthirsty verses lays out the template for why Muslims do what they do.

    I’ve never been impressed with Bernie Sanders, to say the least.

  7. R Russell says

    • mortimer says

      Sep 3, 2019 at 6:35 pm

      Bernie Sanders either hasn’t done any homework to learn about Islam’s teachings or he doesn’t care what he says because he’ll say anything for a vote in which case he’s either ignorant or amoral … but there’s the possibility he is both.

    Sep 3, 2019 at 2:31 pm

  12. CogitoErgoSum says

    Sep 3, 2019 at 2:39 pm

    So, Bernie, in what way DOES the Quran say that Muslims are to show their love for Infidels? Surely there must be at least one verse that abrogates all those others listed by Robert Spencer. Where in the Quran can I find that abrogating verse?

    • mortimer says

      Sep 3, 2019 at 6:38 pm

      K.48.29 – “Muhammad is the messenger of Allah
      Those with him are VIOLENT (ashiddaa’) against the unbelievers (kufaar),
      Compassionate amongst themselves.”

  13. Wellington says

    Sep 3, 2019 at 2:51 pm

    To call Bernie Sanders a fool would be an insult to mere fools. He is a willfully ignorant enabler of evil and thus he goes way beyond the status of only being a fool.

    He also is a very public betrayer of his own Jewish heritage, which is a great heritage–not a perfect heritage to be sure but then no heritage is perfect—and respecting which heritage he seems as oblivious of it as he is of so much else. I can’t actually say I detest the man but I can say I have zero respect for him.

    • Infidel says

      Sep 3, 2019 at 3:11 pm

      Bernie Sanders is a modern day Karl Marx or a Leon Trotsky, and has more in common w/ them than w/ normal Jews, such as Alan Derschowitz. One should not think of him as a Jew while analyzing his policies

      • Wellington says

        Sep 3, 2019 at 4:14 pm

        Infidel: I agree, but he is still a Jew—as was Marx and Trotsky.

        Also, don’t quite know exactly what you mean by the term, “normal Jews.” Explain if you will.

        • Infidel says

          Sep 3, 2019 at 4:22 pm

          By normal Jews, I meant those who support Israel, even if they may not be conservative. Hence my example of Alan Derschowitz above.

          Marx was more an atheist: his famous quotes, like ‘religion is the opium of the masses’ or ‘Man made God, God did not make man’. Yeah, racially, he may have been Jewish, but religiously, not so much.

          Not so sure about Trotsky’s religiosity, think Stalin hated him b’cos he was a rival, and secondly, due to his race

        • Wellington says

          Sep 3, 2019 at 4:53 pm

          Thanks for the reply, which only conveys, only illustrates, the huge chasm between old-fashion liberalism and modern liberalism (the latter having morphed into a moronic leftism).

        • Infidel says

          Sep 3, 2019 at 4:57 pm

          Modern Leftism is a joke, as was seen in the Democrat Socialist convention in Atlanta a few weeks ago. Rather than talk about the condition of the working class proletariat, they were busy prioritizing the right of people to speak according to race, gender and other ‘intersectional’ issues. As Tucker Carlson pointed out, Vladimir Lenin or Leon Trotsky would not be allowed to speak at such a convention simply due to their skin color.

          I find it hard to determine whether to laugh or groan at such a situation

        • gravenimage says

          Sep 3, 2019 at 9:46 pm

          Yes–what Sanders is doing is willful ignorance.

    • mortimer says

      Sep 3, 2019 at 5:25 pm

      Agree with Wellington … Sanders is not a mere fool … he is a special kind of fool called a USEFUL IDIOT because he has always lived in the freest country there is and never lived in a communist prison country such as the ones he has praised.

      If Sanders has any accurate information about Islamic sociology and communist dictatorship, it is flavored by his delusions and wishful thinking and not based on fact.

      Communism killed 200 million people. Anyone who promotes communism (as Bernier does) must be a very evil or very delusional.

    “We must speak out when we have a president and an administration who believe — and I quote — that ‘Islam hates us,’” Sanders said, referring to a comment Trump made while campaigning for president in 2016.

    More things for Sanders to speak out on:

    The wetness of water
    The existence of only two genders
    The blueness of the sky

    etc.

    “We must speak out at hate crimes and violence targeted at the Muslim community and call it what it is: domestic terrorism.

    Are hate crimes against non-muslims also domestic terrorism? In any case, are honour killings committed by muslims considered anti-muslim hate crimes and thus domestic terrorism?

  16. James Lincoln says

    A 2016 Fox interview with an intelligent Middle Eastern immigrant to the United States who supports Pres. Trump’s Muslim immigration policy.

      I cannot help but note that this articulate young woman has given up on Islam entirely by her own admission (for which she is under a death sentence per Islamic law to this very day—and kudos again, Islam, for your enlightened approach to free thought). As I see it, the Zuhdi Jassers and Irshad Manjis out there still trying to rescue Islam from its own barbaric self are on a fool’s errand. Might as well try to reform Nazism or Marxism.

      Hope you and those you hold most dear are all doing fine. Always good to read your posts and I would again like to thank you for your military service to the greatest polity in man’s history. As I noted to my many students whom I taught over a third of a century, large numbers of them being clueless leftists (excuse the redundancy), just imagine the last century or so of mankind with one difference—no American military. As dark as the last hundred plus years have been, and they have been very dark, nonetheless they would have been even far darker without the American military. One knows this or should know it. Sadly, so many still don’t for whatever insupportable reason.

      The American military (and America in general) is the single greatest guarantor of peace in this non-peaceful world. Or as Mark Steyn, a Canadian, has put it, a world without America would be a world that would be subject to the tyrants of the earth. Indeed. Best to you, James.

        Wellington,

        Thank you for the kind words. I’m blessed with a wonderful family – and we’re doing fine.

        Glad you like my posts, I try my best to add value to the website.

        I have always felt that it was both an honor and privilege to serve in the US military. As a US Naval flight surgeon, I was not the “muscle end” of the Navy and was well protected by Marines and Navy SEALs when forward deployed. The biggest risks to me were mines, IED’s, and sometimes dangerous aeromedical flight operations. I was very lucky, I never got seriously injured after 26 years of active and reserve duty.

        Most Americans now have no clue what it’s like to serve in the military. Right now, less than 1% of the American population is currently serving on active duty.

        And yes, I too am a big fan of Mark Steyn.

        Take good care, have a great evening, and I wish you the best – for both you and yours.

          Thought, James, I would convey one last “matter” to you and it is this: I have long considered the practice of medicine, which was your profession, to be one of the noblest professions of all, if not the noblest, as I may have already indicated to you before.

          In the interest of full disclosure, I also here convey that my father was a surgeon and my mother the surgical nurse he fell in love with and married. This is the chief reason why I am existent as opposed to never being at all. So, you see, I not only have an academic and historical appreciation of the medical profession to the extent that I can, but a very tendentious one as well.

          Very indeed; crucially so. For the record and all that.

    Sanders and Castro are also supporters of LGBTQRSTUVWXYZ rights, as well as something called ‘reproductive justice’ – where pregnant women pretending to be men can have abortions that are publicly financed – in other words, the same rights as pregnant women not pretending to be men. They might want to discuss these w/ ISNA and their local imams. Heck, if they’re good, maybe they’ll talk Imran Khan into promoting reproductive justice in Pakistan, where Pakistani women pretending to be men can get free abortions 😈

There’s nothing worse that a Dhimmi Jew. Except maybe a Dhimmi Jew who’s a Globo-Socialist (i.e., a communist) who believes in global warming.

  25. Rarely says

    Sep 3, 2019 at 4:03 pm

    Muslims don’t necessarily “hate” us. It isn’t necessarily personal at all — just following the dictates of their religion. Although they often show great emotion (huge understatement) they are “just obeying orders”. Sound familiar?
    See? Bernie’s right. He’s an idiot out on a suicide mission but he’s right.
    Personally I couldn’t care less whether someone out to kill me “hates” me or not.
    If we were smart we would simply keep our distance — emotions such as “hate” and “love” are irrelevant to the issue of self-preservation. BTW “Necessity” is not an emotion.

    • gravenimage says

      Sep 4, 2019 at 3:20 pm

      Rarely, Muslims are indeed taught to hate and despise unbelievers:

      One can argue over whether this is personal or not–to the victims, it hardly matters.

    What a pathetic excuse for a human being this guy is. Why does Bernie oppose women’s rights? What does Bernie have against the alphabet people? Why does Bernie oppose freedom of religion? What does Bernie have against bacon beer and dogs? Why does Bernie hate non-muslims?

    These antique white democrats running for president are all sick in the head. Somebody call a doctor, or four or five. Really scraping the bottom of the lunatic barrel democrats are. Many of these dembeciles will be long dead before the ramifications of what they have done come to light.

    Sep 3, 2019 at 5:18 pm

    Top Islamic Scholars agree that Muslims are OBLIGATED to HATE Kafirs … ‘for the sake of Allah’ … the following quotes show BERNIE SANDERS is wrong …

    -Imam Abdul-Latif ibn Abdur-Rahman Rahimullah said, “It is not possible for someone to realize Tawheed (Islamic faith) and act upon it, and yet not be HOSTILE against the mushrikeen (i.e. wrong worshippers). So anyone who isn’t HOSTILE against the mushrikeen, then it cannot be said that he acts upon Tawheed nor that he realizes it.” [ad-Durar as-Saniyyah 8/167]

    -“The doctrine of al Walaa wal Baraa is the REAL IMAGE for the actual practice of this faith.” – source “Al Walaa wal Baraa According to the Aqeedah of the Salaf”, by Sheikh Muhammad Saeed al Qatani, authoritative Saudi Sharia lawyer and imam at the Abu Bakr and Al Furqan Mosques in Mecca. – https://islamfuture.wordpress.com/2009/08/20/al-wala-wal-bara-according-to-the-aqeedah-of-the-salaf-parts-123/

    -Shaykh Ahmad ibn ‘Atiq said:
    “There isn’t in the Book of Allah the Exalted – after the issue concerning the obligation of tawheed and the forbiddance of its opposite (kufr=wrong belief)- any issue which has as so many proofs, nor so clearly explained, than the issue of al-walaa’ and al-baraa’.” (W-B is ‘Islamic apartheid’)

    – Dr. Muhammad Saeed Al-Qahtaani said: “Thus, it is clear that Al-Wala’ Wal-Bara calls on Muslims to “love” their fellow Muslims and hate the non-Muslim (or Kafir).”

    – from Sufi scholar Ahmad Sirhindi (1564-1624): “The honour of Islam lies in INSULTING kufr and kafirs. One who respects the kafirs dishonours the Muslims… The real purpose of levying jiziya on them is to HUMILIATE them to such an extent that they may not be able to dress well and to live in grandeur. They should constantly remain TERRIFIED and TREMBLING. It is intended to hold them under CONTEMPT and to uphold the honour and might of Islam.”

    – from ibn Taymiyya, “Book of Emaan”: “… true believers show ANIMOSITY and HATRED towards disbelievers and NEVER support them.”

    – K. 28:86 says: “Lend not thou support in any way to those who reject Allah’s Message.”

    – from Umar Sulayman ‘Abd-Allaah al-Ashqar, “Belief in Allah”: “The Muslim should regard the Kuffaar as ENEMIES and HATE them because of their kufr (wrong belief), just as he hates their kufr (disbelief) itself.”

    – from [Chap.iv] “The Islaamic Concept of al-Walaa’ wal-Baraa’” by Khalid El-Gharib: “… to SHOW ENMITY to those who show enmity to Allaah and His Messenger”.
    (Note: Muslims are to visibly demonstrate their ENMITY or HATRED towards the kufaar)

    – from a lecture given by Sheikh Abdullah al-Faisal (H.A.): “The implication of al-Baraa is that one HATES for the sake of Allah (SWT)…Al-Baraa means to recognize who your enemies are and to HATE them and EXTERMINATE them in their Endeavour to get rid of your Deen, al-Islam…Al-Baraa is to HATE the people who propagate Baatil (falsehood)—the Muslim should HATE them and (at least desire to) KILL them when the time comes.”

    Is Sanders lying, ie does he actually know about the hate-filled attitude that Islam has towards non-Muslims, or is he really just so unbelievably lazy or so f*cking dumb that he has never even taken a few moments to study what the content of islam is ? As a leftie, commie type, Sanders would already have a pathological hatred of the western, free enterprise, democratic world, so that is what twists his entire outlook on things. He’d be one of these wrongheaded types of people who would always blame the western world for anything wrong in the world. I will never be able to understand the point of view of people like that. To me, for all the human failings in our western way of life, it beats the crap out of stinking, barbaric Islam or any inhuman communistic way of life. I cannot even begin to see the world the way people like Sanders and many others see it, but they are an enemy of all that I believe in and always a danger to our western civilisation and its values. I guess his support of barbaric islam is just typical leftist garbage, where they see Islam as their ally in fighting against our western way of life. But surely he must know something about Islam’s nature.

    In case you are a little hard at reading and comprehension, Bernie boy, we don’t just ‘think’ islam hates us, we KNOW islam hates us! And not just you in America, but ALL of us, EVERYWHERE around the world, who won’t have s bar of it or it’s hateful doctrine of incitement to relentlessly kill, and persecute us, the qur’an.
    I like to think that what some of us care to take the time write and opine in comment here on this site actually does sometimes, somehow, get forwarded on to the attention of dickheads like Sanders, et al (even if they would never admit to it), and that we are therefore being a bit more than a comfort echo-chamber amonst ourselves (‘the agreed’), if not also of some informative help to those who take the time to visit here.

    “We must speak out when we have a president and an administration who believe that ‘Islam hates us’”

    Yes we should speak out, in support of our president and his honest views about islam and the threat it truly is. Ya don’t have to be high intellect to see the deleterious effects muslims are having on Western society. Their hostile enclaves show they have no interest in melding with our people in mutual respect, and their unceasing acts of terror and subversiveness prove their conquering ambitions. They aren’t amalgamating, they are infiltrating; they aren’t enhancing our freedoms, they are destroying our freedoms; they aren’t contributing to our welfare system, they are draining our welfare system; they aren’t improving our peace and security, they are jeopardizing our peace and security; and they aren’t enriching our culture, they are undermining our culture for a regressive and violent religion that worships an entity more resembling a demon than a humane god. Muslims don’t bring enlightenment they bring divisiveness, we ignore their history at our own peril. That’s why I praise President Trump’s honesty and boldness regarding islam. Because he is one of the world’s few leaders who is willing to stand for our culture and its freedoms over violence and tyranny for religion. For that reason alone he will always be considered a great man by peace loving, freedom loving, individuals.

    If a humane god exists, may She bless our president in his mission to lead our nation to prosperity, peace, happiness, and to overcome islam’s threat to it all.

    Bernie Sanders has made a career out of being a hypocrite. He claims to be a socialist. He owns 3 homes all valued at over $100,000. He drives a Maybach Mercedes Benz, sticker price $150,000. People think he is a peace guy. Vermont pulls in $7.5 billion dollars in defense contracts every year. Among them Lockheed Martin, General Electric, General Dynamics etc. He only votes against defense spending when he is not running for president.
