On the one side, we have Muslim clerics such as Nael Mossran insisting that the US is on a crusade against Islam, and that Muslims must wage jihad against America. On the other side, we have an anxious solicitude for Muslims and desperate care taken not to appear “Islamophobic.” Neither side is listening to the other, just as in the public discourse in general today, almost everyone is talking past everyone else. The rest listen to the commentators who are in their approved group, and only them.
“Rafah Friday Sermon by Sheikh Nael Mossran: Pensacola Shooter Had Acted out of Compassion for the Islamic Nation; The Only Way to Stop America’s Crusade against Islam is Jihad for the Sake of Allah,” MEMRI, December 22, 2019:
Palestinian Sheikh Nael Mossran said in a Friday sermon in Rafah, Gaza that Mohammed Saeed Alshamrani, the Saudi Air Force officer who shot and killed three U.S. servicemembers at the Pensacola Naval Station in Pensacola, Florida on December 6, 2019, had felt overcome with compassion for the Islamic nation and that the last thing Alshamrani said had been that America is a nation of evil. Sheikh Mossran said: “[People] started to paint this young man as a criminal [and] calling him evil, criminal, and backward… as if America spread flowers in every country its air force has been through.” He said that the United States is waging an organized crusade against Islam that can only be stopped by an organized Islam and by Jihad for the sake of Allah. The sermon was delivered at the Al-Huda Mosque in Rafah and uploaded to Sheikh Mossran’s YouTube channel on December 22, 2019.

“Mohammed Saeed Alshamrani, the Saudi Air Force officer who shot and killed three U.S. servicemembers at the Pensacola Naval Station in Pensacola, Florida on December 6, 2019, had felt overcome with compassion for the Islamic nation….”
Quite a few (thousand/milllion?) people in the UK have felt ‘overcome with compassion’ with the victims of the two London Bridge atrocoties, the Manchester Arena and 7/7 atrocities (to name just four), as no doubt many many millions have been ‘overcome with compassion’ for the many, many victims of the 9/11 atrocity, not to mention the catalogue of islamic atrocities in France, Germany, etc. etc. etc.,…….. So how many ‘sufferers from compassion’ in the West gone out and murdered innocent muslims as a way of assuaging their grief? No, we’ve just lit candles and held church services, and said what nice, peaceful people muslims are. Until the next atrocity, that is. Then we’ll have a few more vigils and church services. Perhaps it’s time to buy a few shares in the candle business.

“Jihad will continue until all the Hindus, Christians, Buddhists, Atheists are killed.
Quran does NOT permit survival of non-muslims.”

Yes–this is what Islam teaches.
Michael Copeland says
Apparently Zuber did not say this to the BBC.
It appears to have been invented.

“It is obligatory for us (Muslims) to begin fighting with them (the infidels) after transmitting the invitation (to embrace Islam), even if they do not fight against us.”

Tariq Ramadan has endorsed the ideological legacy of his grandfather, Hassan al-Banna, the founder of the Muslim Brotherhood, in these terms:
“I have studied Hassan Al-Banna’s ideas with great care and there is nothing in this heritage that I reject.”

Happy new year to you to sheik

No matter how the cookie crumbles, they always see themselves as the “eternal victims”.
After they started the jihad for no reason, that is still their claim. They are as irrational as can be, just hot headed, wild eyed, irrational lunatics!
gravenimage says
Muslim cleric praises Pensacola jihadi, says US is on crusade against Islam, violent jihad is only way to stop it.
………………
Of course, this is exactly backwards. To the extent that the West opposes Islam–questionable at the best of times–it is because Muslims wage violent Jihad against us.

Can you imagine the lives of women if islam takes over the world as they intend? Mossran is just another talking head wanting power so he can control peoples lives. Little men looking for power, where are the women liberals? Why are they not standing up against the ideology of islam which will make their lives a living hell. It’s time to stop islam and its brutality, their only means of power has come from the oil money of the past 50 years. Destroy their access to money and they can not spread their hatred.

The LIB Females in America, who are always, allies of the Religion of Peace, dream of the day that they will be Covered from Head to Toe in Black. SOME Females in NYC already wear Basic Black, in honor of their Alliance.
But ALL LIB Females have the same “ATTRIBUTE”, THEY ARE PHYSICALLY REPULSIVE. ISLAM PROVIDES A WAY IN WHICH THESE CREATURES can hide their UGLY MUGS. My Opinion!
