Why are the Islamic jihad groups fighting against Israel? Why do they think that committing the dismaying actions we saw in Israel on Saturday is the right, and indeed the righteous, thing to do?
As the death toll from Saturday’s jihad massacres in Israel continues to mount, the world looks on in horror at the atrocities that were committed — the wanton massacre of people at a peace concert, the beheaded babies, and so much more. It is hard for Americans and Europeans to fathom how or why any human beings would do such things.
Now, however, two jihad groups, including the one that was behind the massacres, Hamas, and Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas’ Fatah, have issued statements that clarify exactly what they think they’re doing. As you might expect, they both make for chilling reading.
The indispensable Palestinian Media Watch reported Monday that “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.’” That’s actually a reference to the Islamic holy book, the Qur’an, which, in three separate passages, refers to Allah punishing Sabbath-breaking Jews by transforming them into apes and pigs (2:53-65; 5:59-60; 7:166).
Fatah’s exhortation to jihad also includes this: “Fight them, and Allah will punish them by your hands, and he will lay them low and give you victory over them, and he will heal the hearts of people who are believers.” That also is from the Qur’an (9:14) and expresses one of the biggest differences between Judaism and Christianity on the one hand and Islam on the other. While both the Jewish (Deuteronomy 32:35) and Christian (Romans 12:19) traditions say that vengeance for wrongdoing is up to God, and not for any individual to pursue, the Qur’an tells Muslims that they are to be the executors of the wrath of Allah: he will punish errant human beings by the hands of the followers of Muhammad.
This is how the jihadis who killed Israeli civilians wholesale on Saturday could do so while believing they were doing nothing less than carrying out the will of the one and only God. They believe those whom they killed to be enemies of Allah and the Muslims, and consequently to have deserved everything they got, and more.
Fatah’s communiqué is thus packed with Qur’anic references, as if to emphasize that as far as Muslims are concerned, the murder of Israeli civilians is a holy struggle. That’s why Muslims across the world have joyfully celebrated the attacks instead of expressing revulsion at their bloody excesses. So when Fatah calls upon Muslims to “strike the sons of apes of pigs, kill everyone who is a settler, slaughter everyone who is Israeli,” it not only has no qualms about issuing such a broad-based call for murder but knows this call will resonate with many other believers throughout the world.
Meanwhile, on Saturday, Hamas military commander Mohammed Deif hailed the beginning of what he called “Operation Al-Aqsa Deluge.” He said that the massacres of that day were just the “first strike,” and that much more was coming. Deif declared: “I say to the masses of the people and our nation, and to the free people of the world: Today, the wrath of Al-Aqsa has exploded – the rage of our people, our nation, and the free people of the world. I say to our pure mujahideen: This is the day that you make this criminal enemy understand that its time is up. ‘Kill them wherever you may find them.’” That also was a quotation from the Qur’an (2:191, 4:89, cf. 9:5)....
The religion of peas.
These are the type of people who probably only see the inside of a mosque when carrying weapons in and out of one.
It’s as simple as this- They want all Jews to die, and the Jews don’t want to.
They are not human ,they are animals.
Another point is that the Qu’ran is only part of the corpus of Islamic belief - of larger importance are the Hadiths. tHese are very numerous and contain detailed responses on what to do for certain cases.
And they were the sources cited byIslamicStatefor their activities.
Islam celebrates murder, rape, and theft.
Christianity condemns all those things.
Christianity calls for all sinners to repent. Islam states those who rape, murder and pillage in the name of Islam go straight to their XXX rated paradise.
Started reading the article and stopped when I read author’s reading “dismaying” reference to the absolute evil of theThe evil acts of the terrorists.
I said a while back that the final battle will be between Communism and Radical Islam. But, in order to do that you need to destroy Israel and get rid of the Second Amendment.
The religion of peas.
__________________________
A religion of death. A religion whose overarching premise is oriented toward war and death has to be devil-inspired. Is that what this is all about, waging war with the devil’s earthly inspired minions? The crux used to justify the killings is a mental construct of being suppressed by Israels and other non-Muslims. It sounds to me a lot like the Left in this Country who walk around with a constant chip on their shoulders - an excuse to plead victimhood and then raise hell and cause mayhem.
Murder cultists, criminally insane, Folie à deux x millions. Vipers cease to threaten when they are dead or live only with other vipers. Considering the worse than bestial way Muslim are exhorted to treat people of other religions, women, gays, women who show their heads without coverings or people who sing, or people who are accused of disrespect I would argue there is no place true followers of Islam can exist without creating a serious threat to others.
If there was any love for the Muslim people amongst their own ranks there would be the evolution by Muslim leaders of a modern form of Islam. Historical teachings would be placed in context of our past and respect for the rights of others would be substituted for the freedom and worse the responsibility to kill, maim and abuse others.

Adopt our religion of peace or we kill you.
“Allah punishing Sabbath-breaking Jews by transforming them into apes and pigs (2:53-65; 5:59-60; 7:166).”
Does anyone know what they mean by Sabbath-breaking Jews? How are they breaking the Sabbath?
Islam is the excuse. Land and money are the reason
Saturday and not Friday.
No .. these are the guys who really believe.
Islam is a world conquest plan.
All this crap we are told about peaceful, moderate mooslimbs is hog wash.
Look at history, listen to the imams... they are not kidding around when they say kill them all.
We pretend they are like us ... but they are not.
