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

Does Bernie Know? Muslim Cleric Says: ‘Animosity Towards Jews is Obligatory Religious Duty’

Mar 11, 2020 5:00 pm By Robert Spencer

At last: the truth about the root cause of the hatred held by Omar, Tlaib, Sarsour and Co. My latest in FrontPage:

As Bernie Sanders and his surrogates and supporters, including the notorious anti-Semites Linda Sarsour and Rep. Ilhan Omar, try to convince Democrats and the nation at large that the old Communist is a “proud Jew,” the Palestinian Muslim cleric Yousuf Makharzah has shown himself to be more honest about what Islam teaches regarding Jews. His words illuminate and explain the Jew-hatred that Omar, Sarsour and Tlaib have so often manifested, and illustrate why Sanders is so foolish, or so sinister, or both, to throw in his lot with them.

According to the Middle East Media Research Institute (MEMRI), Makharzah preached in a recent Friday sermon that was televised on Lebanon’s Al-Waqiyah TV, an affiliate of the international pro-Sharia and pro-caliphate organization Hizb ut-Tahrir, that “you will find the most intense of the people in animosity toward the believers to be the Jews, and those who associate others with Allah.”

Heavens to betsy, Makharzah is an “extremist,” right? Everyone knows that Islam reveres the Jews as one of the “People of the Book,” and that anyone who dares to suggest that the conflict between Israel and the Palestinians has any basis in Islamic teaching is a racist, bigoted “Islamophobe,” right? Everyone knows that the relationship between the Jewish and Muslim communities will be positively chummy once the Israelis stop building “settlements” on “occupied territory” and a Palestinian state is finally established, no? If that is done, then all the “intense…animosity” between Jews and Muslims will melt away, won’t it?

Well, no. Makharzah is no “extremist” at all. His statement about the animosity that Jews would have for Muslims was a quotation from the  Qur’an (5:82). The idea that the Jews are the worst enemies of the Muslims is not just something he believes, but something that informed and devout Muslims believe to be a truth revealed by Allah that will remain valid until the end of time.

And there is more. The Qur’an depicts the Jews as inveterately evil and bent on destroying the well-being of the Muslims. They fabricate things and falsely ascribe them to Allah (2:79; 3:75, 3:181); they claim that Allah’s power is limited (5:64); they love to listen to lies (5:41); they disobey Allah and never observe his commands (5:13). They are disputing and quarreling (2:247); hiding the truth and misleading people (3:78); staging rebellion against the prophets and rejecting their guidance (2:55); being hypocritical (2:14, 2:44); giving preference to their own interests over the teachings of Muhammad (2:87); wishing evil for people and trying to mislead them (2:109); feeling pain when others are happy or fortunate (3:120); being arrogant about their being Allah’s beloved people (5:18); devouring people’s wealth by subterfuge (4:161); slandering the true religion and being cursed by Allah (4:46); killing the prophets (2:61); being merciless and heartless (2:74); never keeping their promises or fulfilling their words (2:100); being unrestrained in committing sins (5:79); being cowardly (59:13-14); being miserly (4:53); being transformed into apes and pigs for breaking the Sabbath (2:63-65; 5:59-60; 7:166); and more. They are under Allah’s curse (9:30), and Muslims should wage war against them and subjugate them under the rule of Islamic law, which denies non-Muslims basic rights (9:29).

Will any Muslim leader in the West kindly explain how Yousuf Makharzah is misunderstanding Islam? No? I thought not, but it’s noteworthy that not just Bernie Sanders, but virtually every non-Muslim leader in the United States and Europe would take for granted that Makharzah is wrong on Islamic grounds, and yet that has not been established.

Note also Makharzah’s total confidence in the Islamic accuracy of what he is saying. He addresses Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas, whom he suspects of wavering on the Islamic imperative of hating Jews: “Mr. President, where have you learned Islam? Have you learned it from [your advisor] Al-Habbash? Or have you learned it before from Yossi Sarid or Yossi Beilin? Where have you learned Islam?”

Yet the lack of congruity between Makharzah’s Islam and Islam as it is assumed to be by Bernie and others will not be addressed or even noticed.

    Does Bernie know? Short answer: Nope.

    Bernie is clueless about a lot of things. I’m thinking most everything. So, show me a Bernie supporter and I will show you, at best, part of the detritus of the human race. Yes, perhaps a more innocent example of such detritus, assuming you can actually characterize such people in a less innocuous way, but “detritus” nonetheless.

    This is my take on Bernie and Bernie supporters and I’m stickin’ to it. None of them are wise and liberty without wisdom can’t last very long.

      Wellington is correct: “Bernie is clueless about a lot of things.” In fact, Mr. Sanders seems to have no interest in … and perhaps a well-hidden disdain for all religions. He has deliberately failed to inform himself about the MOTIVATING FORCE OF BILLIONS OF PEOPLE AROUND THE WORLD for whom religion is a vital part of their lives. TO FAIL TO UNDERSTAND THE RELIGIOUS MOTIVATION OF MUSLIMS means that Mr. Sanders is truly CLUELESS about his presumed allies.

      In fact, Muslims hate not only Jews in particular, but they are required by AL WALAA WAL BARAA to hate ALL DIRTY KAFIRS ‘for the sake of Allah’. You CANNOT understand Islam or Muslims without MASTERING this doctrine.

      – “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.

      – “The matter is clear on this issue. It is obligatory to disassociate and absolve oneself from the disbelievers and their religion. The issue of al-Walaa wal-Baraa is from among the greatest obligations in Islaam.” (Shaykh Salih Al-Fawzan, 2005, p. 308)

      – Obligation to Hate Kufaar: “With regard to matters of love and hate in the heart, the Muslims’ attitude towards non-Muslims is based on the latter’s attitude towards Allaah. If they worship Allaah and do not associate anything in worship with Him, then they love them. If they associate others in worship with Him, or disbelieve in Him, or worship others alongside Him, or are hostile towards His religion and hate the truth, then it is obligatory to hate them in our hearts.” – Sheikh Muhammed Salih Al-Munajjid

      As I understand it, “detritus” means “rubbish”. The words put me in mind of Mrs.Clinton’s “basket of deplorables”.
      No human soul, no matter how corrupted, how fallen, is detritus. It is a soul created by God.

      • Wellington says

        Mar 12, 2020 at 10:18 pm

        Perhaps but then perhaps not. And even Adolf wasn’t detritus? Nor Mohammed?

        Besides, no one can prove a soul exists. Might. Might not.

      I think you will find that Bernie supporters are I want something for nothing people. I guess they haven’t been taught, if they are capable of learning that is, that the is no such thing as a free lunch.

    • grandpahalfdime says

      Mar 12, 2020 at 3:45 pm

      Sorry, but Bernie is not clueless and he is an Anti-Semitic and Anti-Israel communist.
      Wow, that’s a redundancy, like all communists, he is Anti-Semitic. Look to Russia’s history.
      There is no place in Communism, especially the Stalinist type that Bernie prefers, for religion, especially one that dictates self reliance. Any religion that recognizes God above the State is contraindicated and to be removed.

      • Wellington says

        Mar 12, 2020 at 10:21 pm

        Sorry, but I think Bernie is utterly clueless. Every person embracing either the Far Left or Far Right is clueless—as I see matters.

    • mortimer says

      Mar 11, 2020 at 11:37 pm

      Agree with PRCS: indeed, Sarsour KNOWS that Sanders DOES NOT KNOW that she hates him as an atheist, JEWS and KAFIRS ‘for the sake of Allah’.

      Sarsour is an Islamist supremacist … Sanders cannot fathom that he is being used.

    Colonel Sanders knows nothing about Islam or Sharia and is not interested in looking into it. Colonel Sanders only knows about finger-lickin’ good chicken. Linda Sarsour is not going to enlighten the Colonel either.

          Mar 11, 2020 at 9:07 pm

          To believe–as too many do–that Islam and its followers are ‘progressive’ or ‘liberal’–is simply idiotic.

        • gravenimage says

          Mar 11, 2020 at 9:28 pm

          Agreed, PRCS. In fact, Islam is the least liberal creed I can think of. Why so many actual liberals are clueless about this is mind-boggling.

    Jew hating Jews are nothing new. The earliest I know of (and readily suggest there are others and earlier) is Karl Marx. Just so there is no doubt, while I have my disappointments with the local Jewish community, I may be one of the most devoted admirers of Judaism for the wisdom it teaches.

    “Find 3 Jews and get 6 opinions.” “Israel is the only country with 6 million Prime Ministers, only one of whom is in office at any given time.” “I will make of you a great nation and a blessing to all nations.”

      T. or T., there are some people and interpretations that see Judas, the most trusted of the disciples doing exactly what Jesus directed him to do. In order for prophecy to be fulfilled all had to be done. Please consider. Jesus KNEW.

    As a haredi Jew living in Europe,I observe that there is also in our midst the archetype of the collaborator that thrives by traitory.(,e.g. Petin as a non Jewish example).As Dorris grew up as adoptive son of a Nazi official, that’s more the case of upbringing and pleasing his Nazi foster parents.Iparents.Befire the inflation of the term ‘uncle tom’ it was the correct description of the same phenomenon under black people.But there is in Western country a huge pressure group, that accepts Jews only, if they proof being ‘a good jew though’ by agreeing to any diffamation (like overpopulation in Palestinian territories as a result of genocide on Palestinians, debunked water poisoning,as the Palestinian leader refuse to invest in infrastructure, and préfère getting water by Israel instead of maintenance if the desalification facilities Israel left them (they even didn’t need to develop or build them).
    The need to demonize us is essentially to patch some inconsistencies, like Surat 24aya21 “all animals pray to Allah” w, thus animals are brlievers and logicallyKufirs below animals (Surat 98aya6) everyone leads to the question, if pigs (also an animal), black dogs or lizards pray to Allah,. But as in Surat 5 pigs are shape-shifting Jews, and Jews below animals, 24:21 doesn’t include animals, that are considered Jews shape shifting for violating Shabbat (rats,monkeys,pigs etc.)So theoretically a pig can become Muslim by shapeahifting back into a Jew and than reverting.

    It’s getting time to fight, we the American people need to change the people we elect. If we do not stop the immigration of islamics into this country and begin deporting all islamic criminals we will simply be out voted by them in the near future. Just look at the muslims we have in political office today, they are all unable to uphold the Constitution of this country and they never had any intension of doing so.

    Islam is a brutal dictatorship ideology masquerading as a religion lead by evil men. Every country that is lead by islamic/political leadership is a country that takes human rights away from their citizens. Women in islamic countries are nothing more than sex slaves and are treated like dogs. In islamic countries it is a toss up of who gets treated worse the women or the dog.

    Omar and Sarsour are being used as a weapon by the Islamic dictators to disrupt America, these two women would have no voice in an Islamic country and would probably have been stoned to death by now.

    This picture makes one thing perfectly clear: that Sanders has allied himself with Muslims, and is willing to give them whatever they want from this country, in exchange for their support in the voting booth.

    As such, he is no more fit to be president of this country than was Barack Obama.

      Now more than 18 years post 9-11, what roll have his longtime Senate staffers and his two Presidential campaign handlers played in what appears to be his ignorance of Islam?

      Whether they’ve either not broached the subject with him–or he ignored them if they did–is beyond troubling.

    “Our top priority is to please Allah,” says Sarsour.

    That statement begs the question, What pleases Allah?

    The Koran and hadiths tell us that Allah is very, very pleased if you, as an Islamist, kill an “enemy of Allah”, Who is Allah’s enemy? They are kafirs, infidels, non-believers; in short, anyone who refuses to submit to Allah. To martyr ones self by killing the enemies of Allah is to attain the highest position of honor in Islam’s “heaven”. Yeah, Sarsour, there are those among us who can read through your doublespeak and doubletalk.
