Leftist and Muslim spokesmen in the West have been assuring us for years that suicide bombings have nothing, nothing whatsoever to do with Islam. Will any of them go visit Ali Barakat and explain to him how he is misunderstanding “his Lord, his religion, and his Quran”? No? Why not?
“Allah has bought from the believers their selves and their possessions against the gift of Paradise; they fight in the way of Allah; they kill, and are killed; that is a promise binding upon Allah in the Torah, and the Gospel, and the Koran; and who fulfils his covenant truer than Allah? So rejoice in the bargain you have made with Him; that is the mighty triumph.” (Qur’an 9:111)
“Hizbullah’s Nightingale Ali Barakat: I Wish The Day Will Come When Nasrallah Allows Me To Blow Myself Up,” MEMRI, January 26, 2021:
Lebanese singer Ali Barakat, a staunch supporter of Hizbullah, said that he wished to become a suicide bomber and blow himself up among enemy soldiers at the behest of Hizbullah’s Secretary-General Hassan Nasrallah. Barakat made these comments during an interview that aired on Al-Jadeed TV (Lebanon) on January 26, 2021. He added that Hizbullah’s leader would not even have to ask this from him, but merely allow him to blow himself up among an enemy of Nasrallah’s choosing. However, Barakat said that he would not be willing to do the same on behalf of Parliament Speaker Nabih Berri.
Interviewer: “Had Hassan Nasrallah asked you to blow yourself up, would you do it?”
Ali Barakat: “Of course…”
Interviewer: “Really?”
Barakat: “Absolutely. I’m not saying this…”
Interviewer: “… just for the media?”
Barakat: “I wish the day will come when sayyed [Nasrallah] allows me – not even asks me, he would not ask me… But I wish he will allow me to be one of the people who…”
Interviewer: “Okay, he would not ask you, but let’s assume he does ask you…”
Barakat: “I am telling you that personally I wish that I will have the opportunity one day to become not just a martyr, but a martyrdom-seeker who blows himself up among the ranks of an enemy chosen by Nasrallah.”
Interviewer: “How do you explain this?”
Barakat: “This is not just out of belief in sayyed [Nasrallah] but also out of belief in his Lord, his religion, and his Quran. I am not referring to him here as an individual.”
Interviewer: “So today you are willing to sacrifice yourself for Hassan Nasrallah?”
Barakat: “Not for his sake, but for the sake of the line that he represents.”
Interviewer: “What if Nabih Berri asked you to blow yourself up? Would you do it?”
Barakat: “No.”

A word of advice from Imran Khan:
“Muslim leaders should have stood up to the West and made it clear that there is no link between Islam, or any other religion, with terrorism.”
Rob Porter says
Michael, obviously Imran Kahn is just another Muslim liar or lunatic who thinks every infidel is taken by his lies and nonsense. For Islam I have nothing but contempt.
Walter Sieruk says
That a completely delusional and deluded man he must truly be to put such blind and unquestioning faith in the religious book ,the Qu ‘ran ,which is the foundation of Islam. that willing to die for that man made book that has been proven to be a hoax .
Therefore on the subject of in the “holy book” of Islam, the Koran. . Some call this religious book, the Quran. All this leads to a very important question: “Is the Quran the Word of God or is it a fabrication of a man. Thus, is the Quran the truth or a fiction and a hoax ?” The jihadists, as those of ISIS use many verses from the Quran as the main source of justification for their violence, mayhem and murders. As found in For example, 4:47 5:33. 9:5,111,123.
The answer is clearly given on pages 145 through 157 in THE ISLAMIC INVASION by Robert Morey in which he wrote a section on the Quran with its self-contradictions. Just two of the many he cited are the following “The Quran differs on whether a day is a thousand years or fifty thousand years in God’s sight’ and “Who was first to believe? Abraham or Moses [Sura 6:14 versus 7:143]?
The above is inconsistent and illogical. Further, Morey wrote about “The fact that Judaism and Christianity broke up into different sects was used in the Quran to prove that they are not of God [Suras 30:20-32. 42:13, 14]. Yet Islam has broken up into many warring sects and therefore cannot be true if the Quran is right.” Moreover, Morey in his book shows many more contradictions and absurdities in the Quran, there are and how Muhammad incorporated extra Biblical and Jewish folklore along with pre-Islamic Arabian myth and parts of Zoroastrian and Hindu stories into the Quran. Furthermore, the Muslims claim that “the Quran is the direct, literal word of God unmodified in any way by the Prophet who uttered them at the bidding of God.”
Furthermore, in the book UNVEILING ISLAM by Ergun Mehmet and Eethi Caner has shown that the Quran was modified in the following account on pages 45. “Muhammad felt the need to improve on the words of Allah, since he changed Allah’s wisdom for his own on several occasions. A hadith tells of the nonchalant emendations of Muhammad:’ On a number of occasions he [a scribe] had, with the Prophet’s consent changed the closing words of verses. For example, when the prophet had said ‘God is mighty and wise ‘ Adbollah b. Abi Sarh suggested writing down ‘Knowing and wise’ and the Prophet answered that there was no objection. Having observed a succession of changes of this type, Adbollah renounced Islam on the grounds that revelations, if from God could not be changed at the prompting of a scribe such as himself. After his apostasy he went to Mecca and joined the Qorayshites.’ Other writers reveal that later Muhammad and his people did go war with the Qorayshites and he personally killed Abdollah. Obviously Abdollah knew too much and Muhammad wanted Abdollah’s knowledge to die with him.”
In conclusion, the Quran is not only a fiction, it’s also a hoax.

What a strange interview question? You can’t make this up. In this strange world, anything is possible
Andrew says
Looking in the eyes of this “singer” it looks like he is unwell, such dark circles around his eyes, could be lack of decent sleep, could be hidden madness, either way the dude is bat shit crazy.
If his gawd is so pure then why on earth would this gawd wish to have him kill people that dont believe in his gawd rather than showing by actions the goodness of islam… reason being, that there is no goodness in islam, and so they must only rule by the sword and not by any sense of love and compassion.
islam truly is a Fascist Religious Cult in every manner of those three words.

Lebanese singer hopes Hizballah top dog will let him blow himself up ‘out of belief in his religion and his Quran’
……………………
Sick bastard…
By the way, he doesn’t really need Nasrallah’s permission here…
Lion heart says
Gravenimage : you can imagine a Muslim singer is willing to blow himself up for Islam for the fictional 72 Virgins let alone an ISIS terrorist! and yet Muslims shamelessly claim that Islam is a religion of peace and they accuse USA abs the West of creating ISIS ?? and that’s a very good example that any Muslim on planet earth is a time bomb who when taking Islam seriously and putting its readings into practice to the letter, they will become terrorists.

Westman says
He can’t be much of a singer. I’ve known enough professional musicians to know a successful singer lives and breathes music and would never blow himself up and lose that which brings him the most joy. This man is either a fading musician or a failure.
There is are two kinds of “music” that are horrible examples of music, the Adhan and the war chants, the nasheeds. I’m betting he sings nasheed and finds no joy in it.
Walter Sieruk says
That deluded man who said the absurd statement may serve as an example of how the falsehoods of Islam’s doctrines may cause and incited a person to literally become dangerous and deadly to self and others.
James Lincoln says
Isn’t being a singer incongruent with being a devout muslim?
gravenimage says
Not if he’s doing Jihad Nasheeds, James.
Here’s an interesting story about Ali Barakat:
“Pro-Hezbollah singer detained in Lebanon over song”
BEIRUT (AP) — Lebanese authorities have detained a pro-Hezbollah singer over some of his songs, including one that calls Saudi Arabia a “terrorist”…
https://apnews.com/article/24d92e3d9c314f7283ecf0d3d9acb79d
Of course, the Saudis *are* terrorists–but his take is more likely because they are Sunni, and he belongs to a Shia Jihad terror group.
E T says
He has my permission to blow himself up and he should take some friends with him.
tim gallagher says
I agree, E T. The only problem is that this Muslim scumbag, in the usual evil Muslim way, will probably take many innocent people with him when he blows his useless self to pieces. Otherwise, I’m with you. Good riddance to this piece of crap.
