Jihad Watch

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

May you have a safe and easy fast

Oct 8, 2019 5:30 pm By Robert Spencer

Yom Kippur, the most solemn and holiest day of the Jewish calendar, begins tonight.

I wish all Jewish Jihad Watch readers a safe and easy fast, and ask all lovers of justice and freedom to stand with Israel, which is as always on the front lines of the global jihad.

As Benjamin Franklin once said, let us all hang together, or we will assuredly hang separately. That hanging day is drawing ever closer, so there is a great deal more work to be done. Am Yisroel chai!

      +1.
      Also, stay away from the Muslims. They like to go kaboom during infidel’s festivals.

        …bloody hell, they even like to go ‘boom’ with one another during their own festivals, feasts, and fasts. Just take the typical ramadan ‘bombathon’ period for instance.

        • BegrensEuropa! says

          They will go on doing ‘boom’ until the end of times or the end of their indoctrination and (self-)intimidation. Today a few of them went ‘boom’ in the cities of Halle and Leipzig in Germany involving a synagogue. Jihad attacks are daily news, now.

    Shalom Jewish friends. Even though you don’t embrace Jesus I still think your’e swell people!

    We cannot that Syria, Egypt and Jordan treacherously attacked Israel on Yom Kippur in 1973. Stay safe.

    Mohammed copied the Jewish fast on the tenth (‘eser) of the tenth month, not understanding it himself, but calling it Ashura in Arabic.

    Islamic tradition bases this custom on a reference in the Koran (2:183-187) to keeping “the fast as it was prescribed for those before you”. Muslim tradition explains that “those before you” were the Jews, and that Muhammad in this passage was commanding that his followers adopt the Jewish custom of fasting on the Day of Atonement.

    According to Abu Ja’far (al-Tabari): In this year [2 A.H., that is, 624 A.D.], it is said, the fast of Ramadan was prescribed, and it is said that it was prescribed in Sha’ban. When the prophet came to Medina he saw the Jews fasting on the day of Ashura. He questioned them and they told him it was the day on which God drowned the people of the Pharaoh and so saved Moses and those with him from them. ‘We have a better right to Moses than they have,’ and he fasted and ordered the people to fast with him. When the Fast of Ramadan was prescribed, he did not order them to fast on Ashura, nor did he forbid them to do so. (Tabari, Annals, vol. 1, p. 1281 = Tabari 1987, pp. 25-26)

    On Ashura, Shi’ites commemorate the death of Mohammed’s son in law in weird head-slicing rituals, beating themselves with chains and smacking their chests … far removed from the Jewish day of sober contemplation and examination of one’s conscience!

    • Fr Christopher says

      Note how Shi’ite Muslim rituals mimic those of the priests of Ba’al whom Elijah faced on Mt Carmel; or the present day self-slashings of Hindus in some of their blood-letting street demon-strations. The pagan source of the Shi’ite rituals is transparently clear. The claim that these are linked to Ali’s murder are only a convenience, like the “Midnight Ride of Muh’d’s Horse’s Rear” (while A’isha said Muh’d was in her bed all night! — maybe wearing her nightie?) conveniently “establishes” al-Aksa to be on Temple Mount in Jerusalem — without any evidence but a nightmare.

    Extremist right attack not Muslims, but who cares? lies are perfectly acceptable as long as they increase hate against Muslims

    • Angemon says

      “lies are perfectly acceptable as long as they increase hate against Muslims”

      If that’s how you really feel, you’re a hateful bigot, plain and simple.
