Yusuf al-Qaradawi

Sunni Muslim Cleric in Qatar

5/21/13SyriaSyrian rebels offer Christian residents four choices:  

1) renounce the ‘idolatry’ of Christianity and convert to Islam

2) pay a heavy tribute (jizya) to the Muslims for the privilege of keeping their heads and their Christian faith;

3) be killed;

4) flee for their lives, leaving all their belongings behind.  

Saddam Hussein 4/4/03“Long live Iraq. Long live Palestine"

Hamas Leader Khaled Mash’al 3/06“The liberation [of Palestine] will come with the help of Allah, until it is attained by the last soldier, woman, and child, despite resistance by Israel and the United States….Jerusalem will become Arab and Muslim again, including all the places holy to Islam and Christianity.”

Iranian President Ahmadinejad

“Wipe Israel off the map.“

"Iran believes that whoever is for humanity should also be for eradicating the Zionist regimeas symbol of suppression and discrimination,"

Ahmadinejad on Monday said that Iranians and Muslim nations worldwide should hold Qods rallies and show their willingness to dispose of this "infectious tumor and this regime full of rascality."

"Recognizing the Palestinian state is not the last goal. It is only one step forward towards liberating the whole of Palestine." Al Qods Day – 8/11

“This battle is not between al-Qaeda and the U.S.,

this is a battle of Muslims against the global Crusaders.”

Osama bin Laden1993

Letter to the American People allegedly written by Osama bin Laden – 12/02

"The creation and continuation of Israel is one of the greatest crimes, and you [the Americans] are the leaders of its criminals.There is no need to explain and prove the degree of American support for Israel. The creation of Israel is a crime which must be erased. Each and every person whose hands have become polluted in the contribution toward this crime must pay its price, and pay for it heavily."

Answer to 9 accusations by the US government– 5/09

Khalid Sheikh Mohammed, et al With regards to these nine accusations that you are putting us on trial for; to us, they are not accusations. To us they are badges of honor, which we carry with pride. Many thanks to God, for his kind gesture, and choosing us to perform the act of Jihad for his cause and to defend Islam and Muslims. Therefore, killing you and fighting you, destroying you and terrorizing you, responding back to your attacks, are all considered to be great legitimate duty in our religion. These actions are our offerings to God.

Answer to 9 accusations by the US government– 5/09

Khalid Sheikh Mohammed, et al

You have violated the law of war by supporting the Israeli occupation of Arab land in Palestine and Lebanon, and for displacing five million Palestinians outside their land. You have supported the oppressor over the oppressed and the butcher over the victim.

Answer to 9 accusations by the US government– 5/09

Khalid Sheikh Mohammed, et al

We do not possess your military might, nor your nuclear weapons. Nevertheless, we fight you with the almighty God. So, if our act of Jihad and our fighting with you caused fear and terror, then many thanks to God, because it is him that has thrown fear into your hearts, which resulted in your infidelity, paganism, and your statement that God had a son and your trinity beliefs.

So, our religion is a religion of fear and terror to the enemies of God: the Jews, Christians, and pagans. With God's willing, we are terrorists to the bone. So, many thanks to God.

Radicalism usually prospers in the gap between rising expectations and declining opportunities.This is especially true where the population is young,idle, and bored; where the art is impoverished; where entertainment – movies, theater, music – is policed or absent altogether; and where young menare set apart from the consoling and socializingpresence of women.

Anger, resentment, and humiliation spurred young Arabs to search for dramatic remedies

Syrian Schoolbooks – 6/02

Eighth-graders are taught that, "It is known that the Jews of today do not have

any connection to Palestine…”

Palestinian Schoolbooks – 6/02

The Palestinians, the books claim, have first rights to the country. The "Arab Canaanites" were here before the Jews, therefore the Zionistic claim of rights to the land by virtue of forefathers are a lie. Zionism is described as a movement of which the seizing of land is foremost among its tenets.

Knesset Member Ibrahim Abdullah Sarsur, who heads the southern Islamic Movement inside Israel, published an official announcement Sunday according to which a nation he called the “Arab Jebusites” founded the city of Jerusalem – which he referred to using the Arabic name Al Quds – a long time before the Jews showed up there.

1 Maccabees 1: 54-59 57 and anyone who was caught with a copy of the sacred books or who obeyed the Law was put to death by order of the king. 58 Month after month these wicked people used their power against the Israelites caught in the towns.59 On the twenty-fifth of the month, these same evil people offered sacrifices on the pagan altar erected on top of the altar in the Temple.

Accordingly, in the fifteenth year of his reign, Herod rebuilt the temple, and encompassed a piece of land about it with a wall, which land was twice as large as that before enclosed. The expenses he laid out upon it were vastly large also, and the riches about it were unspeakable. A sign of which you have in the great cloisters that were erected about the temple, and the citadel which was on its north side. (Josephus)

Prophets – Muhammad, last & greatest – the “seal” of the prophets - others:Abraham, Isaac, Ishmael, Noah, Moses, David, Isaiah, John the Baptist, JesusHadith – deeds & sayings of Muhammad

Islamic Terminology (610 A.D.)

Volume 2, Book 13, Number 21: Narrated Abu Huraira through different narrators that the Prophet said, "It is Allah's right on every Muslim that he should take a bath (at least) once in seven days.“ Book 41, Number 4828: Narrated AbuSa'id al-Khudri: When the Apostle of Allah (peace_be_upon_him) sat, he had his knees drawn up supported by his hands.

Book 37, Number 4310: Narrated AbuHurayrah: The Prophet (peace_be_upon_him) said: There is no prophet between me and him, that is, Jesus (peace_be_upon_him). He will descend (to the earth). When you see him, recognize him: a man of medium height, reddish hair, wearing two light yellow garments, looking as if drops were falling down from his head though it will not be wet. He will fight the people for the cause of Islam. He will break the cross, kill swine, and abolish jizyah. Allah will perish all religions except Islam. He will destroy the Antichrist and will live on the earth for forty years and then he will die. The Muslims will pray over him.
