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 is a battle of Muslims against the global Crusaders.”

Osama bin Laden1993

Page 9: The History of Israel & 3 Faiths

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.

Page 12: The History of Israel & 3 Faiths

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.

Page 29: The History of Israel & 3 Faiths

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.

Do not turn back, and thus lose all.‘

10: 93 – We settled the Israelites in a secure land andprovided them with good things.

6: 74-75 – “(And remember) when Abraham said to his father Azar: 'Will you take idols for gods, surely I see you and your people are in clear error.'

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)

"This is our Land because G-d gave it to us,” he said. While it is true that Jews – descendants of Isaac, and Arabs – who are descendants of Ishmael, share a common father in Abraham, Feiglin explained, “He bequeathed the Land of Israel to the lady of the house, and gave the son of the maidservant gifts and sent him to Saudi Arabia.”

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.

Inner Face: South Wall - In the name of Allah the Merciful the Compassionate. There is no God but Allah alone; he has no co-partner. He is the Kingship and His the praise. He giveth life and He causeth to die, and He hath power over everything.

South-East Wall - Verily Allah and His angels pronounce blessing upon the Prophet. O ye who have pronounced blessings upon Him and give Him the salutation of peace. O, People of the Book (i.e. the Jews and Christians, always referred to as such by the Muslims -Ed.) do not go beyond the bounds in your religion and do not say about Allah anything but the truth. The Messiah, Jesus, son of Mary, is but a messenger of Allah and His word which he cast upon Mary, and a spirit from Him. So believe only in Allah and of his messenger, but do not say "Three" (Trinity) and it will be better for you. Allah is only one God. Far be it from His glory that he should have a son.

Page 81: The History of Israel & 3 Faiths

North Wall - The Messiah will not deign to be in the service of Allah nor will the angels who stand in his presence. O Allah; pray upon Thy messenger "the servant Jesus –

(N-W Wall) - the son of Mary and peace be upon him the day of his birth, the day of his death and the day of his being raised alive." That is Jesus, son of Mary - a statement concerning which YOU are in doubt. It is not for Allah to take for Himself any offspring, glory be to Him.

West Wall - Allah bears witness that there is no God but Him, likewise the angels and the people possessed of knowledge (S-W Wall) - upholding justice. There is no God but He, the Almighty and All wise. Verily, the religion in Allah's sight is Islam.

Page 82: The History of Israel & 3 Faiths

Outer Face - West and North-West Walls - In the name of Allah the Merciful and Compassionate. There is no God but Allah alone. Praise be to Allah who hath not taken to himself offspring. To Him there has never been any person in the sovereignty. Mohammed is the messenger of Allah, may God pray upon Him and accept his intercession.

Praise be God who has not taken unto himself a son and who has no partner in sovereignty nor has He any protector on account of weakness.

Asharites vs Mutazilites Predestination vs free will

The Mu‘tazilites, who created the first fully developed theological school in Islam,

championed the primary role of reason; reason’s ability to know morality; the goodness and justice of God

as required by reason; the unity of God;

and the necessity of man’s free will.The Closing of the Muslim Mind (Robert Reilly - 2006)

Page 88: The History of Israel & 3 Faiths

Asharites vs Mutazilites Predestination vs free will

In Ash‘arism…, the primacy of revelation over reason rises

from the very nature of what is revealed: God as pure will and power.

The response to this God is submission, not interrogation.

The Closing of the Muslim Mind (Robert Reilly - 2006)

Page 89: The History of Israel & 3 Faiths

Asharites vs Mutazilites Predestination vs free will

Abu Huraira reported Muhammad as saying: “Verily Allah has fixed

the very portion of adultery which a man will indulge in

and which he of necessity must commit.”Good & evil are foreordained

The Closing of the Muslim Mind (Robert Reilly - 2006)

(Insha'Allah – God’s will/God willing)

“Now I know why America is a superpower. America is great because its people enjoy freedom of thought. They are the product of a culture that was born in the Laboratory under the scientist’s lens, while we in the Muslim world lag behindbecause we have come from a repressive culture that has no respect for the mind and refuses to acknowledge its own failure to come to grips with science.”

1867 – Mark Twain “The Innocents Abroad”

There is not a solitary village throughout its whole extent—not for thirty miles in either direction. There are two or three small clusters of Bedouin tents, but not a single permanent habitation. One may ride ten miles, hereabouts, and not see ten human beings.

Page 93: The History of Israel & 3 Faiths

1867 – Mark Twain “The Innocents Abroad”

To this region one of the prophecies is applied: "I will bring the land into desolation; and your enemies which dwell therein shall be astonished at it. And I will scatter you among the heathen, and I will draw out a sword after you; and your land shall be desolate and your cities waste." [Leviticus 26:32-33]

No man can stand here by deserted Ain Mellahah and say the prophecy has not been fulfilled.

1867 – Mark Twain “The Innocents Abroad”

We traversed some miles of desolate country whose soil is rich enough, but is given over wholly to weeds—a silent, mournful expanse, wherein we saw only three persons—Arabs

It is a hopeless, dreary, heart-broken land.

Palestine is desolate and unlovely. And why should it be otherwise? Can the curse of the Deity beautify a land?

Page 95: The History of Israel & 3 Faiths

“In the twelve and a half centuries between the Arab conquest in the seventh century And the beginnings of the Jewish return in the 1880’s, Palestine was laid waste. Its ancient canal and irrigation systems were destroyed and the wondrous fertility of which the Bible spokevanished into desert and desolation.”

Five Arab armies (Egypt, Syria, Transjordan, Lebanon and Iraq) immediately invaded Israel. Their intentions were declared by Azzam Pasha, Secretary-General of the Arab League: "It will be a war of annihilation. It will be a momentous massacre in history that will be talked about like the massacres of the Mongols or the Crusades."

May 14, 1948 – Israel rebornHad the Jews lost the war, their territory would not have been handed over to the Palestinian Arabs. Rather, it would have been divided among the invading Arab forces, for the simple reason that none of the region’s Arab regimes viewed Palestine as a distinct entity and most of them had their own designs on this territory.

The Covenant of the Islamic Resistance Movement (Hamas)18 August 1988

Preamble excerpt:Israel will exist and will continue to exist until Islam will

obliterate it, just as it obliterated others before it" (The Martyr, Imam Hassan al-Banna, of blessed memory).

Article Six:The Islamic Resistance Movement (Hamas) is a distinguished Palestinian movement, whose allegiance is to Allah, and whose way of life is Islam. It strives to raise the banner of Allah over

every inch of Palestine, for under the wing of Islam followers of all religions can coexist in security and safety where their lives, possessions and rights are concerned. In the absence of Islam, strife will be rife, oppression spreads, evil prevails and schisms

and wars will break out.

Page 112: The History of Israel & 3 Faiths

Article 11 excerpt:

The Islamic Resistance Movement believes that the land of Palestine is an Islamic Waqf consecrated for future Moslem generations until Judgement Day. It, or any part of it,

should not be squandered: it, or any part of it, should not be given up.

Article 13 excerpt:

There is no solution for the Palestinian question except through Jihad. Initiatives,

proposals and international conferences are all a waste of time and vain endeavors.

Page 113: The History of Israel & 3 Faiths

Article 15 excerpt:

It is necessary to instill in the minds of the Moslem generations that the Palestinian

problem is a religious problem, and should be dealt with on this basis.

Article 23 excerpt:

The Islamic Resistance Movement views other Islamic movements with respect and

appreciation.

Judaism, being a religion, is not an independent nationality. Nor do Jews constitute a single nation with an identity of its own; they are citizens of the states to which they belong.

1967 – Six Day War

The Egyptians pursued them, and all Pharaoh's horses and chariots and horsemen followed them into the sea. During the last watch of the night the Lord looked down from the pillar of fire and cloud at the Egyptian army and threw it into confusion. He made the wheels of their chariots come off so that they had difficulty driving. And the Egyptians said, "Let's get away from the Israelites! The Lord is fighting for them against Egypt."

“Everyone lost their heads,” recalled Dr. Abd al-Fattah al-Tarki, a humanities student and a reserve officer with the 2nd Armored Brigade. “We were told to withdraw to Bir al-Thamada, but we arrived to find the positions there already in flames. The army on the roads was in a state of complete collapse. It was a massacre, a disaster. Israel never would have achieved a quarter of its victory if not for the confusion and chaos.”
