Barcelona Chief Rabbi Urges Jews to Leave Spain: 'This Place Is Lost'
HAARETZ ^ | Aug 18, 2017

Commenting on deadly attacks in Catalonia, the chief rabbi of that region in Spain said that his community is doomed, partly because of radical Islam and authorities’ alleged reluctance to confront it.

Rabbi Meir Bar-Hen has been encouraging his congregants to leave Spain, which he called during an interview with JTA a “hub of Islamist terror for all of Europe,” for years before the attacks Thursday and Friday, he said. At least 13 victims and five suspected terrorists were killed in Barcelona and the resort town of Cambrils, 75 miles south of the city.

(Snip)

Part of the problem exposed by the attacks, Bar-Hen said, is the presence of a large Muslim community with “radical fringes.” Once these people are “living among you,” he said of terrorists and their supporters, “it’s very difficult to get rid of them. They only get stronger.” He also said this applied to Europe as a whole. “Europe is lost,” he said....

Yep, either fight in Spain or start a tactical retreat to Israel and fight there. Either way, they will have to take a stand and fight somewhere.

When Europe kicked God out, they brought Islam in. This cannot end happily.

There’s a verse I’m looking for; it was quoted by a guy who has gone on to be with the Lord.

People posted whole lists to me trying to be helpful which I appreciate. I haven’t found it yet. His ministry is still going. Maybe I can contact them and see if they remember it.

To: Founding Father

“If you will not fight for the right when you can easily win without bloodshed;
if you will not fight when your victory will be sure and not too costly;
you may come to the moment when you will have to fight
with all the odds against you and only a small chance of survival.
There may even be a worse case: you may have to fight
when there is no hope of victory,
because it is better to perish than to live as slaves.”

Winston Churchill

“Show me just what Mohammed brought that was new, and there you will find things only evil and inhuman, such as his command to spread by the sword the faith he preached.” -Manuel II Palaiologos

“The Ambassador [to England from Tripoli] answered us that it was founded on the Laws of their Prophet, that it was written in their Koran, that all nations who should not have acknowledged their authority were sinners, that it was their right and duty to make war upon them wherever they could be found and to make slaves of all they could take as Prisoners.”

Thomas Jefferson and John Adams in their report to Congress

“We want the flag of Islam to fly over those lands again who were lucky enough to be ruled by Islam for a time, and hear the call of the muezzin praise God. Then the light of Islam died out and they returned to disbelief. Andalusia, Sicily, the Balkans, Southern Italy and the Greek islands are all Islamic colonies which have to return to Islam’s embrace. The Mediterranean and the Red Sea have to become internal seas of Islam, as they used to be.”

Hassan Al Banna, founder of Muslim Brotherhood

” “

‘There is no moderate or immoderate Islam. Islam is Islam, and that’s it.’ This is the Islam of the Koran.”
