For years, the learned analysts insisted, over and over again, that jihad terror supporters were just a “tiny minority of extremists,” and that the vast majority of Muslims abhorred terrorism. Now we have imams in the U.S. openly supporting Hamas, and no one bats an eye.
Note also that Hamdi’s praise of martyrdom is open incitement to violence, for in the Islamic context, a martyr is not just someone who dies for the faith, but someone who takes up the Qur’an’s promise of paradise to those who “kill and are killed” for Allah (9:111).
“New Jersey Imam Sheikh Ismail Hamdi: Ismail Haniyeh Was a Great Leader, A Good Man; He Was Working on a Peace Treaty When He Was Killed; We Must Want Martyrdom – Paradise Is Amazing, but Getting Killed for the Sake of Allah Is Even Better,” MEMRI, August 2, 2024:
Sheikh Ismail Hamdi said at a Friday, August 2, 2024 sermon at the Islamic Center of Passaic County (ICPC) in New Jersey that recently assassinated Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh was a “great leader,” a good man, and a martyr, and he said that fighting and getting killed for the sake of Allah is the best thing possible. He described the pleasures and “good time” of Paradise and said that getting killed for the sake of Allah is so much better, that the martyrs in Paradise ask Allah to be reincarnated so that they can be martyred for Him “over and over and over again.” In addition, he said that the 150 “martyrs” killed in Gaza every day are so happy to be martyrs that they want all the people of Gaza to join them in dying. He added: “I would much rather die a martyr than die on my couch watching television… It’s a beautiful thing to die a martyr.” Asking Allah for martyrdom, he said that this can also be an “opening” to the liberation of the Al-Aqsa Mosque and Palestine. Sheikh Hamdi’s sermon was livestreamed on the ICPC Masjid Younis YouTube channel.

Celebrating hate and death is just not a value of western civilization. We believe in life , love, opportunity, and responsibility.
The Inman’s message is barbaric.

For years there were interviews with Arafat, and the English versions might have him saying in regards to ‘palestinians’… We love Peace, and then in Arabic he’d brag to the interviewer about how the Jew, Westerner loves life and the arabs love death, with that smirk across his face.
This happened numerous times and I remember thinking how the damnable addiction to Islamophobia as a meme meant that we wouldn’t even be allowed to consider the ramifications of what that meant when the meme was legalized.

Why do all these Imams say jihad is good, dying in the cause of allah is good and being a martyr is good, but then…don’t lead the way and show how it’s done? It makes me think they are not really sincere in their beliefs.
Justin Burch says
The plan is to send off all the men to die and then the Imam gets to comfort the wives left behind. You can’t have four wives and a bunch of concubines unless you get rid of an equal number of other men.
Walter Sieruk says
Since that imam has told the Muslims in that Islamic center in New Jersey that “It’s a beautiful thing to die a martyr.” It’s very strange that he doesn’t practice what he preachers and travel to the Middle East and make himself a “martyr” for Islam.
Maybe he’s just attempting to recruit Muslims to be his useful idiots and have them go out and have them become “martyrs ” in his place for the cause of Islam.

New Jersey imam: Slain Hamas top dog ‘a great leader,’ ‘It’s a beautiful thing to die a martyr’
………………………………..
Mainstream Islam. Why do we allow this in our civilized nations? And the idea that this bloody Jihadist was working for peace is grotesque–he was one of the Jihadists behind 10/7.
Of course, Ismail Haniyeh didn’t die while murdering Infidelsl so there is some diagreement over whether he can be can be considered an actual “martyr”…
PRCS says
Why do we allow this (mainstream Islam) in our civilized nations?
In the U.S., our Constitution of course. And Muslims like that cleric know that.

Remember the results of consanguineous relationships are low collective IQs. Marrying for beauty is second. The maternal DNA carries the intelligence genes ?. Semites marry uncomfortably close as did Grandpa Abraham. Sometimes the best of the family is the result as in the Children of Israel. Other times a little charity helps. Jacob cheated and got the birthright Esau sold his birthright to Jacob for a bowl of porridge and the Edomites(Palestinians) still today want to fight to get it back. The “Arab”Palestinians can claim total Jewish heritage just as any Jews of Europe it is their birthright. Esau is just as much Jewish if not more than Jacob. But all over again they are selling their birthright for a bowl of porridge (Islam) Read the Book of Obadiah and 2 Thessalonians 2nd Chapter to see the end they are gleefully rushing to.

Wasn’t Ishmael the progenitor of the Muslim Arabs, and Esau the progenitor of the Christian Gentiles (such as the Greco-Roman and Arab Christians)?

New Jersey imam: Slain Hamas top dog ‘a great leader,’ ‘It’s a beautiful thing to die a martyr’
If it was, then why Haniyeh hid in Qatar or Iran living luxuriously, not stayed in Gaza. He certainy did not want to die as a martyr.
And why the imam doesn’t want to die as a martyr too? No need to go to Gaza, just not seeing a doctor and taking some infidel medication can make him die as a martyr and send him straight to heaven to see the 72 eternal virgins. Funny, no muslim ever wants to die a martyr the way described in the hadith below except to die in the way of that false god
“There are five kinds of martyrs: One who dies of plague; one who dies of a disease of the stomach or intestines; one who drowns; one who is crushed in a collapsing building; and one who is martyred in the way of Allah.” [al-Bukhari, Muslim, Malik]
somehistory says
When mozlums are killed in war as this scum was, it is not martyrdom. The ghoul didn’t die because he was mozlum, although everything he did was because he was mozlum. He died because of his evil actions.
To be a martyr is to die in innocence for one’s faith.
Like the young man, Stephen, who was stoned to death for becoming a Christian and speaking about Christ. He wasn’t killing anyone, or trying to kill anyone, or planning how others could rape and murder people who may have disagreed with him. He was preaching Christ..
The mozlum scum taken out by a bomb in his rooms was no martyr; he was a murderer and died because of his murderous ways.
Palestinian Red Crescent Society says
martyr
/mär′tər/
noun

One who makes great sacrifices or suffers much in order to further a belief, cause, or principle.
One who endures great suffering.

Nothing about innocence in that definition.

What many Muslims clerics call a “martyrdom operation” is in realty a mass-murder operation.
As for that imam in the above video, he had exposes his own blindness to the truth and likewise his own ignorance as well as delusional mindset because of the deception ofthe false religion of Islam.
For example, that imam in his speech in that Islamic center ,when spoke about those Muslims who had dies in a a murderous jihad attack for the cause of Islam, he said ” They’re all happy with what they got ” he also declared that “The’re having a good time.”
Nothing can be further from the truth. For at this moment and also forever they are agonizing in the horrible eternal torments of the fires of hell , as the Bible reveals in Luke 16:19-25.
For jihad murder attacks are just that “murder attacks” not “martyrdom.” The Bible informs its reader when ii supplies a list of those who “will not inherit the kingdom of God” ,murderers are on the list Galatians 5:21.
About that bogus promise of Islam of a wonderful paradies for the Muslim “martyr.” that is a religious fictional fable. The Bible does warn against giving “heed to fables… First Timothy 1:4. [N.K.J.V.]
Regarding all those Muslim clerics who teach about the fable of some kind of paradise. . The Bible had predicted about the comming of such men. For the Bible reveals ” For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine , but according to their own desires ,because they have itching ears, they will heap up for themselves teachers ; and they will turn their ears away from the truth, and be turned aside to fables.” Second Timothy 4:3,4.

150 martyrs killed in Gaza every day and so happy to be martyred. Then why are they running scared through tunnels like the sewage rats that they are? And how come many of these sewage rats are surrendering to the IDF? Also why do the sewage filth want to take revenge against Israel anytime they put a missile up one of their leaders Klacks? You think they would be celebrating the IDF for sending one of these pieces of evil filth to their final roast….er I mean rest. At least when they end up with Allah, they won’t need winter clothing anymore

Absolutely

allah’s greatest enemy is a man called the king of kings{Sahih Muslim vol 5 hadith #5611}
To die a martyr for allah,the best of deceivers, whose enemy is a man called the King of Kings?
Such a “martyr” for allah cannot be going anywhere nice although they think allah’s suspicously carnal paradis awaits them
allah’s worldly “paradise” cannot be the same as the Biblical kingdom of Heaven
The Biblical God does not reward the evil doer.
allah does.I believe allah is referred to in 2 Corinthians 4:4;the “evil god of this world”
Beneath the Veil of Consciousness says
He didn’t die while trying to make peace with Israel. Rather, he was attempting to force Israel to capitulate by dangling the living and dead hostages in front of them. He was a filthy, thieving, cynical, murderous ghoul whom this other ghoul put out there on his horror stage as someone for his slaves to Allah to look up to and emulate. This heartless, Jew hating, coward should be deported. It’s chilling to think that these demons now feel comfortable enough in this country to say these things on camera and in a public setting. Where is the corporate media in the midst of all of this insanity?
OLD GUY says
They all want to be heroes even if they have to murder people to become a martyr by execution.
They should try working themselves to death for the good of mankind, than they would be true martyrs and heroes of all people.
But no they take the easy route.
