PA’s Grand Mufti: We will spit in the face of Muslims who visit al-Aqsa Mosque through the Israeli gate

Aug 26, 2020 11:00 am By Christine Douglass-Williams

Sheikh Mohammad Hussein stated:

Whoever wants to come visit the Aqsa Mosque through the gate of Palestine: Welcome, and we will rejoice over him. But whoever wants to come through the Israeli gate is unwanted, and he will find nothing but the shoes of the people of Jerusalem and the spit of the people of Jerusalem in his face.

Hussein, the Grand Mufti of Jerusalem once gave what was called a “shocking speech,”  in which he stated:

The Jews will hide behind rocks and trees. And the rocks and trees will call out, “oh Muslim, servant of Allah, there is a Jew behind me. Come and kill him!”

Only it isn’t so shocking (or should not be seen as such) when you realize that Sheikh Muhammad Hussein was inspired by the Hadith:

Sahih al-Bukhari Book 56, Number 791: I heard Allah’s Apostle [Muhammad] saying, “The Jews will fight with you, and you will be given victory over them so that a stone will say, ‘O Muslim! There is a Jew behind me; kill him!’ “

Similar statements are found in Book 52, Number 176 and Book 52, Number 177.

Sheikh Mohammad Hussein also instructs the believers that it is the “duty of Muslims to liberate Palestine from Israelis.” Since 2015, Palestinian Media Watch noted that this decree effectively prohibits any Muslim from signing an accord with Israel that acknowledges the Jewish state or cedes land to it as part of a peace treaty.

“PA’s Grand Mufti issues fatwa banning Muslims from praying at al-Aqsa,” by Donna Rachel Edmunds, Jerusalem Post , August 20, 2020:

The Palestinian Authority’s Grand Mufti has issued a fatwa banning Muslims from praying at al-Aqsa Mosque within the framework of the UAE-Israel peace deal.

Muslims from outside Israel and the Palestinian territories are now able to visit the mosque to pray, under the conditions of the recent deal normalizing relations between Israel and the UAE. However, the Palestinian Authority considers the deal a betrayal of its cause, and religious leaders have declared that any Muslim visiting the site, considered the third holiest in Islam, is a traitor.

“We absolutely won’t accept the [UAE’s] treason. One grain of sand from the soil of pure Palestine and from the soil of Al-Aqsa Mosque is more precious than our blood and our lives,” Supreme Sharia Judge Mahmoud al-Habbash said on official PA TV on Saturday, according to a translation by Palestinian Media Watch.

He continued: “Whoever wants to come visit the Aqsa Mosque through the gate of Palestine: Welcome, and we will rejoice over him. But whoever wants to come through the Israeli gate is unwanted, and he will find nothing but the shoes of the people of Jerusalem and the spit of the people of Jerusalem in his face.”

Sheikh Muhammad Hussein, the Grand Mufti went further. Appearing on Palestine This Morning, which is broadcast on official Palestinian Authority TV, he told viewers: “It is forbidden for a Muslim to arrive in a plane of [either] the United Arab Emirates or not of the United Arab Emirates to the Lod Airport [in Israel], which today they call Ben-Gurion Airport, in order to come and pray at Al-Aqsa Mosque. This is false marketing in terms of religious law: legally false, religiously offensive.”

The following day, Turkey’s Anadolu News Agency reported: “Sheikh Muhammad Hussein issued a fatwa (religious ruling) determining that praying at Al-Aqsa Mosque in the framework of the normalization agreement between Israel and the UAE is ‘forbidden.’ Hussein said that… ‘Praying at the Aqsa Mosque is open to all those who arrive through the legal Palestinian gate, and not to those who carry out normalization.’”

THE LEADERS have made it clear that they consider Muslims praying at the mosque under the agreement to have betrayed not only the Palestinian cause, but the Prophet Mohammed himself.

“One grain of sand from the soil of pure Palestine and from the soil of the Al-Aqsa Mosque is more precious than our blood and our lives,” Habbash said on PA TV. “What happened is treason… This is treachery.

“Not just against the Palestinian people: This is a denial of the heritage of Prophet Muhammad… Are Jerusalem and Al-Aqsa Mosque goods that are sold in the market of political prostitution?” he asked. The UAE “have sold Jerusalem, have relinquished Jerusalem, and are trying to market their treason as them opening the door for the worshipers to come and pray in Jerusalem,” he said.

Both he and PLO Executive Committee secretary Saeb Erekat railed against normalization between Israel and the Arab nations, insisting that the deal is a betrayal of the Palestinian cause, implying that violence could follow.

On August 16, the official PA daily Al-Hayat Al-Jadida quoted Erekat as saying: “Normalization with Israel is a prize for the occupation’s crimes,” adding that the PA/PLO “will not agree to them stabbing us in the back with a poisoned knife and telling us that this is for our benefit.”….

    The mufti doesn’t want his terrorists to be searched for hidden weapons.

    When the mufti uses the ambiguous word ‘Palestine’, he actually means the integral territory of British Mandatory Palestine which he sees as his undivided country. However, Syrians see that complete territory as part of Syria (Shams). Erdogan sees it as part of the Ottoman Empire to be recuperated by Caliph Erdogan. The word ‘Palestinian’ as referring to Arabs living in the region was not used in print until 1898. And that was a translation of a book written by a Ukrainian.

    Up until that point, the Arabs in the region saw themselves as ‘townie’ Arabs or Bedouin Arabs. Modern nations in the region were considered lines drawn on a map by the French and British.

      After WW1 hear ye! Hear ye! Abracadabra! Poof! and all of a sudden there was all these new countries with arbitrary borders like Syria, Jordan, Lebanon, British Palestine, Saudi Arabia, Iraq, etc. and lets chop up the Persian gulf oil region into a bunch of countries so no one country can control all that oil.

        Most of these countries had not even discovered oil in 1918. Saudi Arabia did not discover its oil until 1938. Try again…

    A couple of things come to mind when I read about the ramblings of individuals like the mufti.
    The first is a quaint Australian saying. “He’s F**ked in the head” or “he has too many Roo’s in the top paddock”.
    The other is that the PA is squealing about the Israeli government bending over backward to try and bring peace to the region.
    Now I will admit I have never been there and don’t know what the people are thinking. But surely they can’t all be so stupid as to believe what these corrupt dickheads are telling them?
    And if this is so then the IQs of the people must be very low.

    Is it just me, or are Muslim leaders truly getting loonier?
    “…the rocks & the trees will call out,
    ‘Servant of Allah, there’s a Jew behind me; Come & kill him!”?!?!
    The more I study Judeo-Christian History & Muslim History, the more it STUNS me that those sucked into Islam simply can’t escape the 7th Century! It’s become an increasingly-fascinating “side-study”:
    The Language of Islam.
    Bizarrely poetic in it’s archaic, violent imagery, it reveals just how deeply internalized their beliefs are… they’re so thoroughly entrenched in Muhammed’s created world that though they speak 2020 in everyday life, when they speak about all things religion-related, their verbiage immediately shifts to 629… interesting indeed.

      True, Tricia–and this is not just irrational, it is irrational in *such* an ugly way. This is not some sweet hippy-dippy type rambling on about unicorns and the healing power of crystals…

    PA’s Grand Mufti: We will spit in the face of Muslims who visit al-Aqsa Mosque through the Israeli gate
    ……………..

    What he means is that no Muslim had better enjoy the freedoms of Israel–not unless they want to face violence from their vicious coreligionists.

    May the bird of paradise drop a load on the Grand Mufti’s head.
