The copious Qur’an quotations in these Fatah communiques might give someone the impression that Islam had something to do with this conflict. Good thing we have so many Western analysts assuring us that isn’t so.
“Fatah: ‘Strike the sons of apes of pigs… slaughter everyone who is Israeli,’” by Nan Jacques Zilberdik, Palestinian Media Watch, October 9, 2023:
A Telegram channel associated with Fatah’s military wing the Al-Aqsa Martyrs’ Brigades, is calling on Palestinians to slaughter Jews who they term “apes and pigs.”
The first post published by the Fatah channel after Hamas launched its terror massacre on Israel on Saturday was a “call for general mobilization” and to strike the settlers and occupation soldiers with full force and with all means.” The post started with a quote from the Quran and ended stating the belief that the Palestinians will “triumph with Allah’s might”:
Posted text: “‘So fight them and Allah will punish them at your hands, put them to shame’ [Quran 9:14, Sahih International translation]’…
Allahu Akbar, Allahu Akbar (i.e., “Allah is greatest”)!
This is a call for mobilization, a call for general mobilization (refers to the Hamas terror war; see note below -Ed.)!
All our lucky fighters in the West Bank must increase the level of full preparedness, unite in this true battle, and strike the settlers and occupation soldiers with full force and with all means.
This is the final promise (see note below -Ed.), O beloved ones. ‘They truly see this Day as impossible, but We see it as inevitable’ [Quran 70:6-7, Sahih International translation], and we are triumphing with Allah’s might.
Scents of Paradise have begun to blow.
The Al-Aqsa Martyrs’ Brigades – the occupied land of Palestine.”

Many posts begin with the words “Allahu Akbar – “Allah is greatest” – although Fatah presents itself to the world as a non-religious movement. One such post called for “Jihad” – Islamic war -and invoked an antisemitic Quranic reference to Jews, calling to “strike the sons of apes of pigs, kill everyone who is a settler, slaughter everyone who is Israeli”:
Posted text: “Allahu Akbar (i.e., “Allah is greatest”), come to Jihad, come to Jihad (refers to Hamas terror war; see note below -Ed.).
To all our sons and brothers in the Palestinian [PA] Security Forces throughout the West Bank – today is your day.
Break into the settlements, strike the sons of apes of pigs (i.e., an antisemitic Quranic reference to Jews; see note below), kill everyone who is a settler, slaughter everyone who is Israeli, by Allah, they are the most cowardly among men.
Today is a tiding of days of victory, Allah willing – for this is Jihad, Jihad, victory or Martyrdom.”

Are these the Qur’an quotations which have earned the book the description Holy and for which reason it is an offense to burn it?
Hoi Polloi says
So, lefties, can we call them jihadis now? You’ve commanded that we address individuals by their self-selected identities.
Islamic jihadis it is, then.
FYI says
The fact is that the statements in the koran come from a source that, in its laughable ignorance, cannot possibly come from an omniscient source and there is no chance the great minds of islam can even figure that out despite centuries of ‘scholarship’?
“allah is knower of all things”
koran 2:29
Farq off allah.No you don’t!
ALL things?
But not Astronomy,Biology.Christian Theology,{MARY is not one of the 3 gods that Christians worship koran 5:116..allah thinks it involves MARY!..the Jewish belief system{who is “ezra son of allah” that the Jews apparently believe in?}
allah clearly does not know or understand ALL things.
So allah is not any god but a human impersonator pretending to be god.

I’ve encountered the strangest thing on the left; admitted leftist atheists who won’t hesitste to voice hatred of Christianity; yet they give a pass to or defend Islam. I realize it’s ‘the enemy of my enemy is my freind ‘ thinking, but do they not realize many Muslims would see them desd for their atheism?

Once done w/ Gaza, turn to Judea, Samaria and Lebanon

About six years ago I wrote the name of Robert Spencer and his Jihad Watch website on my chalkboard. Recommending his gold-standard research on Islam provoked the ire of the school principal, who was no doubt also influenced by out-of-touch parents. My fealty to truth (regarding everything taught in the classroom) eventually got me cancelled as a teacher.

GregForTruth,
At some point in recent history, telling the truth could no longer act as a defense.

Yes, it is jihad. All the killings, rapings, enslavings, tortures, lootings, it is all jihad act done by Muhammad and his fellows, so muslims must copy what Muhammad did.
