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

Muslim cleric says that the conflict between Arabs and Israel is purely religious

Aug 26, 2020 5:00 pm By Robert Spencer

The religious aspect of the Israeli-Arab conflict is always front and center in the statements of Arab Muslim leaders, and yet it is the single element most frequently and immediately discounted and ignored by Western foreign policy analysts. Get the truth in The Palestinian Delusion: The Catastrophic History of the Middle East Peace Process.

“Controversial UAE cleric apologises to Israelis for past remarks,” Middle East Monitor, August 18, 2020:

An Emirati preacher of Jordanian origin, Wasim Yousef, has apologised to Israelis for hateful remarks issued by him in the past.

“When I saw some Palestinians burn my country’s flag because of the peace treaty with Israel, I decided to apologise to every Israeli man if I had offended him in the past,” Yousef wrote on Twitter.

“The Emirati people were so happy with the agreement [for normalisation with Israel], they forgot about the coronavirus pandemic,” Yousef claimed, adding that “the Palestinian Authority, Hamas, Fatah and [Islamic] Jihad have been trading in the Palestinian cause for 70 years, and now time has come for peace and an end to the death dealers and thieves of money and donations.”

Yousef’s tweets sparked widespread controversy, especially after he claimed that the conflict between Arabs and Israel is purely religious….

        It is Muslims who are waging violent Jihad on the diktats of Islam–not random “religion”.

    This turkey is either a clueless man or a liar. Here’s why: Islam preaches eternal hatred to non-Muslims, and especially to Jews.

    Islam is not only wrong—and often times quite lethal and invidious. It is also immensely tedious.

      Wasim Yousef: “…the Palestinian Authority, Hamas, Fatah and [Islamic] Jihad have been trading in the Palestinian cause for 70 years, and now time has come for peace and an end to the death dealers and thieves of money and donations.”

      …………. he claimed that the conflict between Arabs and Israel is purely religious”

      Wellington: “This turkey is either a clueless man or a liar. Here’s why: Islam preaches eternal hatred to non-Muslims, and especially to Jews.”
      —————————————————————————————————

      What do you find objectionable ? Wasim Yousef’s comments seem realistic, sensible and positive.

      Firstly he is telling his followers that the “Palestinian cause” is not legitimate but is simply a “pay for slay” programme in which the PA etc enrich themselves off the back of the “Palestinians” for whom they deliver nothing.

      Secondly, he tells them the truth – which is that the Arabs have no material cause of grievance against Israel in the real world, and that the conflict is based only religious teaching.

      Given the threats and retribution which he may now face, his statement seems commendably brave.

        I understand your point, but trying to be a reasonable Muslim is pretty much close to an oxymoron. The only true way to deal with Islam if a Muslim is to leave it.

        This guy may be brave, and let’s assume he is sincere, well then his own religion has major problems with him. This was my point which is kind of a way of saying that Islam cannot be reformed, only abandoned.

    Good for Wasim Yousef. It takes a real man to apologize.

    The Arabs had no trouble when the UK divided its Mandate for Palestine and awarded 76% of the territory to the House of Hashim for their own personal emirate.

    The Muslim hatred directed against Jews is slanderous and based solely on the slanders in the Koran and hadiths which are of purely human origin and based in the political intrigues of the 7th century.

      This is not really much of an apology, I think you’ll find.

        I see it, gravenimage, as you do. I guess we could call this initiative a kind of hudna. I don’t see how any Muslim can be a good Muslim and not despise Jews, so replete with antipathy toward Jews is Islam. As Dr. Bill Warner has pointed out, Mein Kampf is 7% Jew hatred while the Islamic texts (Koran, Hadiths and Sira) are 18% Jew hatred.

    ………………

    Well, *this* is true–it means that Muslims will never stop hating Jews and trying to murder them.

    This cleric is correct everything about islam is conflict with non-islamic followers. Islam and their prophet Muhammad place hate for the jewish people and Christians at the forefront of their religious belief. This hate is the glue that holds muslim people to the islamic ideology, if you have a common enemy it is easier to keep a group of people to follow the rulers.

    As long as there is Islam in the world there will be hate and violence.
