Jihad Watch

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

Turkish columnists call for new caliphate, say democracy is “dress of Greek philosophers that was put on Muslims”

Mar 27, 2020 1:00 pm By Robert Spencer

“We commemorate with mercy and gratitude the jihad leaders ‘Izz Al-Din Al-Qassam, Hassan Al-Banna, Abdullah Azzam, Ahmad Yassin, and Necmeddin Erbakan, who are the jihad teachers of our age.”

Hassan Al-Banna was the founder of the Muslim Brotherhood. Abdullah Azzam was a founder of al-Qaeda. Ahmad Yassin was founder of Hamas.

“There cannot be Islam without a state. There must be a state, an administrator of all Muslims. This is the truth. Allah’s rulings will be dominant in all areas (the sayings and actions of Muhammad are included in these rulings).” “”The abolition of the caliphate is an epic of sorrow. Democracy, which was imposed as an ideology after the abolition of the caliphate, is a dress of the Greek philosophers that was put on the Muslims. The abolition of the caliphate was a wedding of pleasure and joy for those who swallow the fire of ideologies… The ideology that, with the abolition of the caliphate, was put in front of and in place of Islam, is governance without that which Allah has sent down. Governing without that which Allah has sent down is a cruelty composed of darkness… ”

How many Muslims entering the United States believe these things? You can’t ask. Asking such a question is “Islamophobic.”

“Turkish Columnists Praise Jihad, Martyrdom, And Caliphate: ‘Jihad Is A Valid Ruling Until The Day Of Judgement… If The Muslims Are Unified, [The Unbelievers] Will All Be Like Dogs At Our Door,'” MEMRI, March 24, 2020:

…”Jihad Is A Valid Ruling Until The Day Of Judgement – Jihad Will Not Be Abandoned… If The Muslims Are Unified, [The Unbelievers] Will All Be Like Dogs At Our Door ”

In a March 20, 2020 column, Burhan Bozgeyik wrote: “There cannot be Islam without a state. There must be a state, an administrator of all Muslims. This is the truth. Allah’s rulings will be dominant in all areas (the sayings and actions of Muhammad are included in these rulings). All Muslims will be brothers, will be united. A Muslim will never draw a weapon on another Muslim. Jihad is a valid ruling until the Day of Judgement. Jihad will not be abandoned. If jihad is abandoned, despicableness will come on its own. The unbelievers will be expelled from every handsbreadth of Muslim land… Let’s say it outright: To hell with all of the cruel unbelievers who, in the language of the Quran, are all filth. If the Muslims are unified, they will all be like dogs at our door.”[1]

“Our Troops Obey The Call Of Our Prophet To ‘Make Jihad With Your Hands, Your Words, And Your Property'”

The February 28 Friday sermon issued by Turkey’s Ministry of Religious Affairs read in part: “Our troops are always beside the oppressed against the tyrant. They are at the front for the good of the world, and they take cover in the name of humanity. They are on expedition to run to help those whose rights are taken from them. Our troops stand tall on their feet on the side of truth and against falsehood, having faith in the [Quran 17:81] verse ‘And say: “Truth has come and falsehood has collapsed. Verily, falsehood is condemned to collapse.’ Our troops run from victory to victory being bound from their hearts to the [Quran 3:139] verse: ‘Do not become loose, do not be saddened. If you have faith, you will be superior.’ Our troops obey the call of our prophet to ‘make jihad with your hands, your words, and your property’ and say ‘stop’ to the brazen raid of the enemy.”[2] Turkey’s Ministry of Religious Affairs, which prepares the sermons that are given each week at the country’s 84,000 mosques, issued this sermon amid fighting in Idlib between the Turkish military and Turkish-backed jihadi factions on one side and the Syrian military on the other.

“This Ummah Has Gotten Its Dignity And Honor From Jihad And Martyrdom”

In a February 10 column, Mustafa Kasadar wrote: “This ummah has gotten its dignity and honor from jihad and martyrdom. This ummah, in the period when it burned and ignited as a whole with the longing for jihad martyrdom, it was the lord of the world. It gave shape and order to the whole world. But whenever it became a nation that was disgusted by death, that forgot the desire for martyrdom, and preferred the worldly life to the hereafter, that is when it fell from the summit and became the plaything of the non-Muslim nations…

“On this occasion we are commemorating with mercy all our martyrs and congratulating all of the civil society organizations, above all the Anadolu Gençlik Derneği (Anatolian Youth Assocatian, AGD) who are celebrating February as ‘Martyrdom Month’ and bringing jihad and martyrdom to the youth agenda once again. We commemorate with mercy and gratitude the jihad leaders ‘Izz Al-Din Al-Qassam, Hassan Al-Banna, Abdullah Azzam, Ahmad Yassin, and Necmeddin Erbakan, who are the jihad teachers of our age. The path that will save the ummah from this despicableness today is clear. This path has been tried dozens of times before and every time, with this method, the ummah got up from the place to which it had fallen and reached the summit once again. That path is singular, and it is the construction of an ummah that desires jihad and martyrdom.”[3]…

“Democracy… Is A Dress Of The Greek Philosophers That Was Put On The Muslims… Governing Without That Which Allah Has Sent Down Is A Cruelty Composed Of Darkness”

“With the abolition of the caliphate, our world became darker. Never mind the people, [even] the leaves on the trees grew yellow. The poor, the destitute, the orphans, the parentless sought a master to protect and embrace them. In the absence of the caliphate, never mind enemies, brother strafed brother. Those fighting back without a caliphate and without a caliph, benefited the unbelievers more than the Muslims. The enemies of the caliphate took from us the possibility of being governed with our religion. They stole the sun from our eyes and the spring from our noses. In the absence of a caliphate, we experienced winters in the spring of our lives. It was as if we began our lives from the end…

“The abolition of the caliphate is an epic of sorrow. Democracy, which was imposed as an ideology after the abolition of the caliphate, is a dress of the Greek philosophers that was put on the Muslims. The abolition of the caliphate was a wedding of pleasure and joy for those who swallow the fire of ideologies… The ideology that, with the abolition of the caliphate, was put in front of and in place of Islam, is governance without that which Allah has sent down. Governing without that which Allah has sent down is a cruelty composed of darkness… They divided the single ummah into a thousand and one pieces. They made Muslims forget the caliphate, which is the recommendation of the prophet. If Islam’s state governs the world on its own, Allah will lift off of us the despicableness that is thought to be irremovable!”[7]

    A caliphate.. is the dress of islamic ‘holy’ men that was put on by muhammed
    {…a man incidentally,who liked to wear women’s dresses…}

    “The revelation does not come to me when I am in the garment of any woman except Aisha’s”
    Sahih Bukhari 54:7:2442

    muslim apologists will “fiddle the Arabic” about this one and they’ll say it refers to a blanket.It doesn’t:muhammed clearly liked wearing Aisha’s clothes.

    Democracy requires intelligent people for it to work. Apparently it is too much for Muslims to handle. Islam and intelligence do not go together.

      Absolutely true, C.E.S.

      In the United States, the knowledge base of members of Congress is definitely decreasing. I mean look at the “squad”, for example.

      Perhaps that has something to do with congressional gridlock…

    I read articles like these to reassure myself that I could never be a muslim…I can’t believe in a “god” that wants me to go out and commit murder.

    Still more proof that Islam makes normal people stupid and stupid people dangerous.

    Turkish columnists call for new caliphate, say democracy is “dress of Greek philosophers that was put on Muslims”
    ………………………….

    Turkey was never an actual democracy–but it has still come too close for pious Muslims.

    More:

    “Turkish Columnists Praise Jihad, Martyrdom, And Caliphate: ‘Jihad Is A Valid Ruling Until The Day Of Judgement…
    ………………………….

    And this, more than anything else, is what the Caliphate *is for*–to wage Jihad against those who won’t submit to the barbaric horrors of Islam.

    More:

    “With the abolition of the caliphate, our world became darker. Never mind the people, [even] the leaves on the trees grew yellow. The poor, the destitute, the orphans, the parentless sought a master to protect and embrace them…
    ………………………….

    Actually, *nothing* could be further from the truth. In the last hundred years since the demise of the Ottoman Empire we have seen an unprecedented agricultural revolution. No one on earth is starving now unless they live in either a war zone or a totalitarian state that refuses famine relief from other nations. Even when I was a child–and I’m not that old–famines were still disturbingly common. Now there are more people worldwide dealing with overweight than with hunger.

    And this is not just about food–opportunity and per capita wealth has skyrocketed during this same time line.

    And the condition of children has much improved over this same period–childhood diseases like polio have largely been conquered. Most children are able to reach adulthood. It is only in places like the Muslim world where children have been unable to benefit from the polio vaccine.

    All children in the West have the opportunity to get a decent education, and world literacy rates are over 85%. As with hunger, most children who lack at least basic schooling do not do so because of poverty, but because they are prevented from attending school. This is especially true of girls in Dar-al-Islam.

    But of course, pious Muslims consider the amelioration of suffering and opportunity for happiness to be “darkness”, because it is not about the savagery of Islam.

    Turkey has been evolving into a democracy since the second half of the 19th century and it seems to have some way to go yet … if throwbacks to the 7th century will get out of the way.

    “There cannot be Islam without a state. There must be a state, an administrator of all Muslims. ”

    Laughable. There has never been a Caliphate of all Muslims since the death of Muhammad when the fight over leadership began. No other religion has such a history of infighting and bloodshed as Islam. Any such “Caliphate for all” could only be imposed by force and ISIS has proved that this will never happen. “ALL” will never accept it or the reinstatement of 7th century thinking and its “science”.

    Islam can only grow where there is ignorance and fear. Its collapse has already begun; very few emigrate TO Islam.

  9. No Muzzies Here says

    Mar 28, 2020 at 7:56 am

    He’s saying that Islam is a political system. Pay attention when they say things that non-Muslims vehemently deny. They should know. They’re Muslims.

    When they tell us what they believe, and what they plan to do to us, it’s a real good idea to listen to them.

    Mar 28, 2020 at 8:22 pm

    This guy is way the hell out there. Ignorance seems to be the common denominator in following islam. It appears that if you go to a muslim library there is only one book you can check out. The Koran seems to have had a terrible impact on the muslim mind. It turns them into rapist, murders and terrorist. Muhammad must have left out Love, respect for others, treating others as you would like to be treated, thou shalt not kill, etc.
