Jihad in the name of Allah is the highest calling in normative Islam. The abuse of young children by this indoctrination — using a harmless-looking puppet, no less — is in service of recruiting them to fight in that jihad.
Groups such as Hamas (a Muslim Brotherhood offshoot) in Gaza represent the militant wing of this Islamic imperative, which is supported by the Palestinian leadership and presented as a “resistance.” The Organization of Islamic Cooperation is also indefatigably committed to the same cause.
“Children In Hamas TV Kids’ Show: The Criminal Jews Are Plotting To Replace Al-Aqsa Mosque With Their False Temple, But We Will Defend Jerusalem To Our Last Drop Of Blood; Jihad Is The Pinnacle Of Islam,” MEMRI, July 15, 2022:
In a July 15, 2022 episode of “Pioneers of Tomorrow,” a children’s show aired on Hamas’ Al-Aqsa TV in Gaza, a man dressed in a puppet costume spoke about Jerusalem and the Al-Aqsa Mosque with children.
Man: “What do you know about the Al-Aqsa Mosque?”
Girl: “It is the capital city of Palestine. We must defend Jerusalem. We must not allow the Jews to destroy it.”
Man: “So we must fight the Jews? We must not let them enter the Al-Aqsa Mosque? Do you love the Al-Aqsa Mosque, or do you like your daddy more?”
Girl: “I love the Al-Aqsa Mosque.”
Man: “Smart girl. But you [love] daddy as well.”
[…]
Boy: “If we would abide by the shari’a and adhere to Islam, and if we would be one nation and we would pray the fajr [dawn] prayers in the mosque, then Palestine would surely be liberated, right?”
Man: “Of course. Firstly, we must obey Allah and we must pray in the mosque. And we must return to Allah and pray, right?”
Boy: “Right.”
Man: “And we must wage Jihad.”
Boy: “Jihad for the sake of Allah is the pinnacle of Islam.”
[…]
Man: “Dear children, we must also know that the criminal Jews are plotting, and they are digging tunnels under the Al-Aqsa Mosque in order to… I forgot, what do they want to build? The Tem… the Tem… They want to replace the Dome of the Rock with the Tem… the Tem… What is it called?”
Boy: “The false Temple.”
Man: “Aha.”
Boy: “With all the digging under the Al-Aqsa Mosque, one day nothing is going to remain under the Al-Aqsa Mosque, and it will…”
Man: “What do they want to do? The children want to know. What is the Zionist entity plotting?”
Boy: “They want to build the false Solomon’s Temple, as you said. I want to stress that this is not true. It never existed, and it will never be built, as long as we, Palestine, and the Al-Aqsa Mosque are here.
“We are going to stay in ribat to our last drop of blood.”
Man: “It is beautiful, it is wonderful, that we are going to defend it with our blood and our bare chests, Allah willing. And let’s not forget, that we have been fighting for years for the sake of defending the Al-Aqsa Mosque. Martyrs sacrificed themselves for the sake of the Al-Aqsa Mosque and for Palestine. Right?”
Boy: “Right.”
Man: “Martyrs, as well as the wounded, right?”
Boy: “Right. And prisoners as well.”
Man: “Right, people were sent to prison or exiled.”

‘JIHAD is the HUMP of the CAMEL’ – Mohammed
The Prophet said, “The head of its matter is Islam and its pillar is the Salah and its highest peak is the Jihad.” – Sunan At-Tirmidhi 2616
The prophet said, “Shall I not inform you of the head of the matter, as well as its pillar and the apex of its hump? … The head of the matter is Islam.”
Mohammed compared Islam to a male camel and made Islamic ideology the head of it, since no animal can live without its head. Then he said, “Its pillar is salat.” The pillar of something is what keeps it upright and no matter can be kept upright or steady without a pillar. Then he said, “The apex of its hump is jihad.” The apex of anything is its highest point and the highest point of a camel’s hump is the tip of its hump. Of all deeds, there is nothing that rivals jihad in importance. Abu Hurayrah reported that a man came to Allah’s messenger, and said, “Tell me something equivalent to jihad?” He replied, “I cannot find any.” Then the prophet said, “When Muslims embark on jihad, can you go to the mosque and pray without stopping and fast continuously?” The man replied, “Who can ever do that?”
– Ibn-Daqiq’s Commentary on the Nawawi Forty Hadiths
mortimer says
There are three ‘essential teachings’ (usul ud deen) in Islam as the above commentary illustrates.
The first ‘essential’ is tawhid (unitarianism) which gives Arabs control over all religions, next there is prayer which in Islam is a means of supremacism (since Islamic prayer is prayer for victory over kafirs), and finally, there is jihad.
Jihad is Mohammed’s method of ‘struggling’ (or ‘wrestling’) with the dirty non-Muslim kafirs to steal their independence, their money, their property, their women and children and reduce all non-Muslims to the level of serfs of the Islamic state.
Without JIHAD, everything else remains ineffectual. Jihad is every procedure that removes the human rights and civil liberties of women and the dirty non-Muslim KUFAAR.
Bikinis not Burkas says
If Jihad is the pinnacle why are there so many old Imams?
Afraid of reaching the pinnacle, the ultimate climax.
Bikinis not Burkas says
Islam exists because the World allows it to exist by not challenging its inaccuracies!
