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

International Union of Muslim Scholars: “Supporting Palestinian resistance is a form of jihad for the sake of Allah”

Jul 12, 2020 1:00 pm By Christine Douglass-Williams

The International Union of Muslim Scholars (IUMS), “backed by Qatar and Turkey, and other Islamic organizations affiliated with the Muslim Brotherhood issued a statement calling on Muslims to wage jihad and self-sacrifice” to halt the plan of the Netanyahu government to assert Israeli sovereignty over parts of Judea and Samaria.

A large number of Muslim Brotherhood (MB) organizations exist in the U.S., Canada, Europe, and worldwide, with links to Hamas and other jihad organizations.

The International Union of Muslim Scholars was founded by the highly influential Muslim Brotherhood scholar and jihadist Sheikh Yousuf Al-Qaradawi, who has repeatedly urged Muslims to wage jihad against Israel. He didn’t need the annexation issue for that.

The jihadist goal of destroying Israel has been clear since 1948. Delegitimization schemes and pushes for Israel to return to its pre-1967 borders, which would effectively cripple Israel’s ability to defending itself — have all been part of the pursuit of this goal. So now that Israel is seeking to declare its sovereignty over land that rightfully belongs to it — Judea and Samaria — the rage of Islamic nations (the successor states of those that long ago conquered the Middle East via bloody jihad) has been rekindled. The vast lands they still control aren’t enough for them. They are incensed by the peaceful establishment of a tiny Jewish state, and continue to use the Palestinian cause as a pretext for aggression and hostility toward that state. Meanwhile, the Palestinian Authority abuses its own people, and Hamas uses them as human shields.

The statement by the International Union of Muslim Scholars “describes the annexation as a crime against the entire Muslim nation, stressing that acting to liberate Palestine and defend it is a religious duty incumbent upon every Muslim.”

It is still difficult for many to comprehend why the entire peace process has been a propagandist scam.

“IUMS Statement against West Bank Annexation,” MEMRI, July 6, 2020:

On July 2, 2020, the International Union of Muslim Scholars (IUMS), backed by Qatar and Turkey, and other Islamic organizations affiliated with the Muslim Brotherhood issued a statement calling on Muslims to wage jihad and self-sacrifice in order to foil the plan of the Israeli government to annex parts of the West Bank….

The following are translated excerpts from the IUMS statement:[2]

“Allah said [in Quran 9:41]: ‘Go forth, whether light or heavy, and wage jihad with your wealth and your lives in the cause of Allah’…

“The Zionist entity has announced its intention to commit a new crime against the [Palestinian] cause that is [dear] to us and to the entire Muslim nation. It is one of the worst crimes, and a blunt act of aggression against our Palestinian people and against all the peoples of our Islamic nation everywhere: a crime of annexing large parts of the West Bank as part of a new, public act of theft that does not consider the victim of injustice and the one whose rights have been denied.

“The clerics signed below wrathfully denounce and condemn this ongoing Zionist crime and stress the following:

“1. The clerics stress that all of Palestine is Islamic land that belongs to all Muslims, and that acting to liberate it, defend it and confront the plots and ploys against it, including the criminal annexation plan, is a religious duty incumbent upon every Muslim, each according to his status, expertise and ability, as Allah said in the Quran [61:10-13]: ‘O you who have believed, shall I guide you to a transaction that will save you from a painful punishment? That you believe in Allah and His Messenger, and that you wage jihad in the Cause of Allah with your wealth and your lives… He will forgive for you your sins and admit you to Paradise… and [you will obtain]… victory from Allah and an imminent conquest; and give good tidings to the believers.’

“2. The clerics warn the Muslim nation – its leaders and its peoples – not to evade [the duty of] supporting our Palestinian brothers in confronting this Zionist crime of annexation, and not to abandon them, and emphasize that this crime is directed against the entire [Muslim] nation and against its faith, its beliefs and its holy places. Forsaking our brothers in Palestine and failing to confront this new Zionist crime… will be a disgrace [upon you] in the world to come…

“3. The clerics congratulate the Palestinian resistance factions and commend their steadfastness and their clear statement that the Zionist annexation plan is tantamount to a declaration of war. The clerics stress that this heroic resistance will bring a disaster upon the Zionist enemy and cause him to rethink his considerations, restrain himself and refrain from continuing his mistaken and aggressive [actions]. The clerics urge the resistance factions in Palestine to establish a joint war-room in order to formulate practical plans for confronting the Zionist crime. Allah the Almighty said [in Quran 51:4]: ‘Allah loves those who fight in His cause in a row as though they are a [single] structure joined firmly.’

“4. The clerics stress that the nation must rally around the Palestinian resistance and support it in its war against the Zionist entity by every possible means, both material and moral. Supporting the Palestinian resistance as it confronts the criminal annexation plan is a form of jihad for the sake of Allah… The Prophet said: ‘Wage jihad against the polytheists with your wealth, your lives and your tongues’…

“5. The clerics call on the Palestinian factions, chief among them Fatah and Hamas, to quickly complete the Palestinian reconciliation — for [achieving] reconciliation, strengthening the domestic arena and ending the division are among the most important tasks at the present time, in order to confront the new Zionist aggression. In this context, the clerics welcome the initiatives for [achieving] unity, the meetings between the factions and the political activity aimed at confronting the crime of annexation, and call to translate them into action on the ground…

“6. The clerics call on the Arab and Muslim leaders to take an honorable position, that the generations [to come] will count in their favor, against this Zionist crime and in order to halt it. This is the duty of the honorable among them, in light of the collapse of the official institutions of government in the Arab and Muslim world. They must know that on the Day of Judgement, they will be judged on [how they performed] their duty towards the Land of [Muhammad’s] Night Journey [i.e., Palestine]. [3]

“7. The clerics stress that the [actions of] some regimes that are rushing to normalize relations with the Zionist entity and to turn the resistance and its supporters into criminals is tantamount to tangible support for the Zionist annexation plan and for the escalating Zionist crimes against Jerusalem, the Al-Aqsa mosque, the West Bank, Gaza and the rest of Palestine. The clerics urge these normalizers to rethink their positions, repent before Allah, and rally, along with their living peoples, against the Zionist entity, which will not benefit them in any way or keep them on their thrones, as they deludedly believe…

“8. The clerics signed below call upon all the religious institutions of the [Muslim] nation to coordinate their efforts [against the annexation plan], to maintain ongoing contact with one another and to agree on a uniform course of action, on mechanisms [for carrying it out], and on coordinated and aggressive joint plans to confront the expected crime of annexation. The clerics of the Muslim nation must be the first to pool their efforts and coordinate in defending the Land of the Night Journey [i.e., Palestine]…

“9. The clerics call on the peoples of our [Muslim] nation to take action on the ground, and take to the streets and the squares wherever this is possible to condemn this Zionist annexation crime and express their opposition to it. [They also urge them] to take action in cyberspace and on social media, in order to expose the crimes of the Zionist entity and blacken its face, and as [a way of waging] jihad for the sake of Allah by means of words and positions.

“10. The clerics call on the peoples of the Muslim nation to spread a spirit of eager commitment to the duty of waging jihad by means of wealth, so as to extend as much financial aid as possible to our murabitoun [front-line fighters] in Palestine, for they are the first line of defense of our nation and our holy places. The Almighty said [in Quran 4:95]: ‘Not equal are those of the believers who sit (at home), except those who are disabled (by injury or are blind or lame, etc.), and those who wage jihad in the cause of Allah with their wealth and their lives. Allah has preferred in grades those who wage jihad with their wealth and their lives above those who sit (at home). Unto each, Allah has promised good (Paradise), but Allah has preferred those who Wage jihad, above those who sit (at home) by a huge reward.’

“With Allah’s help, this Zionist crime will not come to pass as long as the jihad-fighters keep their finger on to the trigger, as long as the peoples of our nation live, remain alert and take the initiative, and as long as, in the Land of the Night Journey [Palestine], there is a people who seeks death so as to be given life…”

    The last fives words of the title of this essay along expose just deluded those jihad/Muslims are. Those five words are “Jihad for the sake of Allah.”

    This delusion an and deception of Islam is even so terrible that in spite of sincere Muslim are in their belief in Allah the reality of the truth is the God of the Bible and the god of Islam are one the same. Is the majority always right? That’s not always the case.

    As an example the Christian pastor and scholar, Michael Youssef, who is also an Arab in his book entitled JESUS, JIHAD AND PEACE on page 69 informs the reader that “The name Allah comes from pre-Islamic times, and it corresponds to the Babylonian mane Bel or Baal. According to the Middle East scholar E.M. Wherry, pre-Islamic Arabs worshiped gods they called Allah. Both pre-Islamic Allah-worship and Baal –worship involved worship of the sun, the moon and the stars, which is why they are called astral religions. The crescent moon, the symbol of pagan moon worship, is also the symbol of Islam. It is printed on flags of many Islamic countries and placed atop minarets and mosques.”

    Likewise, a former Muslim is now a Christian, Dr. Daniel Shayesteh, who used to live in the Middle East but now he lives in America . In his book ISLAM AND THE SON OF GOD. On pages 7,8. Reads “Allah is the generic term for God in many Middle –Eastern cultures. Allah is identified as one of the 360 or so idols worshiped by the Arabian people for centuries before Muhammad was born. Many do not know that Allah was the good god of the Arabians. This explains the crescent moon found on minarets and mosques and the flags of Muslim nations. .. .Historic writings also identify Allah with Baal.” It’s also worth mentioning that the Bible condemns such astral religions. As in, for example, Second Kings 23:5.

    Therefore, all those Muslim who are engaging “jihad for the sake of Allah” are fighting for a nothing god a false pagan moon god. What a total waste of effort as well as time and most of all, what a complete loss of life

      How can u say That Almighty Allah Azawajjal is false
      If we Muslims can put Our differences aside we can be a force to be reckoned with
      What is wealth it’s given by Almighty Allah Azawajjal
      It’s this greed we have for the world that’s holding us back
      We as Muslims need to put Almighty Allah Azawajjal first then we can achieve

        What Abdul Aziz Khan here means by ‘Muslims putting aside their differences” is agreeing on destroying civilized Israel and committing genocide against the Jews.

        And note that by “greed of the world” he means that some Muslims may actually want to make a life for themselves and take care of their families instead of killing themselves while murdering Jews.

        And consider what this Mohamedan considers ‘achievement’–murdering Jews. This is what they consider the “Glory and Majesty” (Azawjjal) of their vicious false deity. *Ugh*.

          Excellent analysis, gravenimage.

          What Abdul Aziz Khan post represents is true islam.

          Despicable…

          James, notice how these “defenders of Islam” actually just wind up exposing the savagery of their creed?

    Union of Muslim Scholars ??? What do politics have to do with scholarship. In my universe, ‘SCHOLARSHIP’ means the pursuit of verifiable facts and correct interpretation of data.

    It doesn’t mean giving political opinions about current events. Jew hatred is not ‘scholarship’.

    Perhaps these ‘scholars’ can find the first reference in Arabic to an Arab inhabiting the region of modern Israel.

    1898: Khalil Beidas, in his preface to his translation of Akim Olesnitsky’s A Description of the Holy Land: “the people of Palestine were in need of a geography book about their country… the Palestinian peasant waits impatiently for winter to come, for the season’s rain to moisten his fossilized fields.” It has been proposed that this represents the first instance in modern history where the term ‘Palestinian’ or ‘Filastini’ appears in Arabic.

      Anyone with a PhD in any STEM field..
      {Ok.That was a fruitful exercise.Well done}

      An islamic ‘scholar’ with a PhD in islamic studies..
      {ahahaha.Now that was a wasted course of studies wasn’t it?}

      I mean we all know that islam is based on a bogus ‘holy’ book{the holey koran},has the most obvious false prophet in world history and follows a deity who is a Scientifically,Theologically and Linguistically challenged idiot of an Arab god:talk about something built on foundations of shifting sands…

      We all know islamic ‘scholars’ ,apologists and dawah folk are not the brightest bulbs on the infidel Christmas tree.

      Muslim scholars in Canada. ICNA education program teaches:

      The majority of the dwellers of Hell are women

      Pregnant adulteresses are to be STONED after giving birth. (2020)

      Thieves hands should be chopped off. (2020)

      Every human being is born as a Muslim

      Muslims will dominate the Jews and kill them. (2020)

      Slave girls are conditionally legal. (2020)

      Honour killing is acceptable in Islam. (2020)

      Islam will be victorious over disbelieving people. 2020

      Spineless politicians allow the continuation of this utter BS to be repeated in Canada and in the US. Politicians no longer support Canadian Or US laws or values.
