The Truth
The following is extracted (in the main) from an article by Robert Spencer. I would respectfully suggest that you go to these links to check his authenticity for yourselves. For just as you should always assess the speech of those who purport to bring you the Word, by going to the Word itself for validity, so should you ought check what you read in any type of media. This is particularly important today as, in the main, we have all learned to mistrust much of the bias that has become apparent in media reports.
Jihad Watch: About Robert Spencer
And this from a dear Jewish friend and believer in the Saving Grace of Jesus.
“I have read Robert Spencer, and the man writes Truth! Thank you, brother.”
MY PREAMBLE:
It’s always best to hear the truth ‘straight from the horse’s mouth,’ so as to speak. This is precisely why attempts at placating Islam are inherently doomed to failure. It is also why any so-called treaty with Islam is more often proven by events to be absolutely meaningless.
As an example, I look at the many attempts to create treaties with those calling themselves ‘Palestinians.’ Too many times their own leaders infringed and walked away from these documents before the ink of their own signatures was dry.
Historical assessment has often revealed that the real goal in signing the treaty in the first place was the achievement of some temporary goal. And/or the receipt of some monetary inducement to get them to sign it.
We of the West still, to some small extent, cling to the Judeo-Christian ethic of truth. We allegedly honor it. And we put stock in our word of honor. Upon that basis (in general terms), it’s always best to hear the truth it ‘straight from the horse’s mouth,’ so as to speak. This is precisely why, attempts at placating Islam are inherently doomed to failure. It is also why any so-called treaty with Islam is more often proven by events, to be absolutely meaningless.
Not so with Islam. Nor has it ever been since their ‘prophet’ brought the Qur’an into existence and then, by bloodshed and subjugation (as his legacy) attempted to have Islam asserted as the only permissible way to worship God.
Upon this basis, we could fairly assert that, except for clan honor, as practiced in the culture of Islam, there can be no commitment whatsoever to any pledges made to either Jews or Infidels. The latter being the sworn enemies of the ‘one true faith.’
In fact, the Qur’an goes to considerable lengths to explain that mendacity and simple duplicity of purpose are tools that the faithful are both entitled and should utilize, until Islam is sufficiently strong enough to gain a military advantage over its enemies. This is because it is the sworn duty of Islam to take Islam to the world, not by conversion but, rather, by coercion. That has been well-proven to translate into ‘blood and death.’
Too often, historically speaking, those who say that they speak for Islam have taken just this message to the world at large. This has meant by terror and the sword. The bloody exercise in Sri Lanka has demonstrated this to ‘perfection’ in the past few weeks.
There had been Jihadi-type threats made against Sri Lanka for some weeks prior to the massacre. I add to this also the over 800 churches that have been vandalized in France over the past twelve months. Those acts are alleged by some French sources to be also tied to Islamic Jihad.
Both the Qur’an and its accompanying Hadiths (like the Talmud is to Torah) give a direct insight into how observant Muslims are expected to understand and interpret their respective holy books. Unless you have made at least an attempt to read both (the Qur’an and the Hadiths in this case), you should not, in the cause of moderation, offer an opinion. For without you having done your homework, your personal opinion is, quite frankly, meaningless.
The story of Islam is historically documented in terms of both conquest, subjugation and enslavement of millions. Islam has been at war with both Jew and Christian since the Middle Ages.
Though academics of the Left would rather us not look (they themselves refusing to teach it on the grounds of offense), I think the matter can be fairly easily resolved in the minds of most reasonably well-adjusted and educated people. Particularly if they have gone to the trouble of doing some easily obtainable research and thus have managed to maintain an unbiased brain.
The latter is a pretty hard task in this era of political ‘non-speak’ where (apparently), in a vain attempt to ‘keep the lid on’ what they obviously no longer can possibly contain, our elitist leadership of both the Extreme Left and what purports to be Conservatism do all they can to prevent anyone even attempting to speak the truth, even with the validation of the best practiced research.
Do not therefore comment on Facebook or Twitter or any such forum lest the ‘hounds of Hell’ descend on you like rabid dogs because you have dared offend the status quo to which this ostrich-like society now adheres to. Even if you think you are correct and have what you consider to be irrefutable validation of your comments, you place yourself in grave danger of both physical harm and quasi-legal censure. The very least would be the enforced closure of your account. (end comment)
Muslim researcher: “Islam does not allow the signing of peace agreements with the Jews”

This is one statement that Muslim leaders have not infrequently made that Western analysts appear unwilling to hear or incapable of hearing. But Muhanna Hamad Al-Muhanna is not an “extremist.”
The Qur’an demonizes the Jews in numerous ways. It depicts the Jews as inveterately evil and bent on destroying the well-being of the Muslims:
{Examples}:
- They are the strongest of all people in enmity toward the Muslims (5:82);
- they fabricate things and falsely ascribe them to Allah (2:79; 3:75, 3:181);
- they claim that Allah’s power is limited (5:64);
- they love to listen to lies (5:41);
- they disobey Allah and never observe his commands (5:13).
- They are disputing and quarreling (2:247);
- hiding the truth and misleading people (3:78);
- staging rebellion against the prophets and rejecting their guidance (2:55);
- being hypocritical (2:14, 2:44);
- giving preference to their own interests over the teachings of Muhammad (2:87);
- wishing evil for people and trying to mislead them (2:109);
- feeling pain when others are happy or fortunate (3:120);
- being arrogant about their being Allah’s beloved people (5:18);
- devouring people’s wealth by subterfuge (4:161);
- slandering the true religion and being cursed by Allah (4:46);
- killing the prophets (2:61);
- being merciless and heartless (2:74);
- never keeping their promises or fulfilling their words (2:100);
- being unrestrained in committing sins (5:79);
- being cowardly (59:13-14);
- being miserly (4:53);
- being transformed into apes and pigs for breaking the Sabbath (2:63-65; 5:59-60; 7:166); and more.
- They are under Allah’s curse (9:30),
- and Muslims should wage war against them and subjugate them under Islamic hegemony (9:29).

Kuwaiti researcher Muhanna Hamad Al-Muhanna repeated the anti-Semitic blood libel that Jews use human blood, preferably of Christian children, in the making of holiday pastries. He further said that the Jews would destroy the moral values and economy of any country they entered, that they monopolized the slave trade, and that Hitler had decided to get rid of the Jews because they were behind movements fighting the social order and behind pornography. Al-Muhanna warned that anyone who normalizes relations with them is “a Jew like them.”
Muhanna posted the video on his YouTube channel, which has over 13,000 subscribers, on February 26, 2019. The 47-minute long video was viewed close to 25,000 times.
Muhanna Hamad Al-Muhanna:
“One of the most famous religious practices of the Jews is the slaughter of a Christian child on a certain holiday. They take his blood and make it into a pastry, which is eaten on that day. They call it “sacred blood.” It must be an innocent child, who has not been contaminated by the world.
“When Muhammad Ali Pasha ruled Syria, there was the case of Father Thomas. This is one of the most famous incidents in history. Father Thomas was passing through the Jewish Quarter, when the Jews were having a religious celebration. When that Christian priest was passing there, the Jews kidnapped him and his servant and slaughtered them. They collected their blood in a bowl, and used it to bake pastries for the Jews of Iraq. The Jews of Damascus did this. They were captured, placed on trial in Damascus, and sentenced to death.
“But Rothschild and Montefiore, the richest people in those days, intervened, and obtained amnesty from Muhammad Ali Pasha. The practice of kidnapping children to make pastries with their blood was immortalized by the late Naguib Al-Kilani, in his well-known book, Blood for the Matzos of Zion. [Former Syrian Defense Minister] Mustafa Tlass conducted similar research. This is a famous [Jewish] religious practice. […]
“Whenever the Jews enter a country, it is their custom to take over its commerce, and to try to corrupt all the religious and moral ties in that country, so that the Jews become equal to the rest of the people in that country. Let me give you an example. I don’t know if you have noticed, but all the novelists – Shakespeare, Tolstoy, Dostoevsky, what’s his name… Stevenson, Walter Scott… You cannot find a single European novelist who hasn’t attacked the Jews in his books. […]
“The most famous traders who brought slaves from Africa to the Americas… The Portuguese and Spanish Jews had a monopoly on that trade. […]
“Hitler noticed that the Jews were behind every clandestine movement fighting the social order. He noticed that the Jews were behind the pornographic movies and literature. So he said that if Germany wants to make progress, it must get rid of the Jews or of their control.
“This brief review of the history of the Jews tells us something very important: that even if Islam permitted the signing of peace agreements with the Jews… Of course, Islam does not allow the signing of peace agreements with the Jews, because the Jews are occupying the land of the Muslims. Those who compare contemporary Jews to the Jews of Medina are fooling people, because in Medina, the Jews were under the rule of the Prophet Muhammad. […]
“If they were to leave Palestine, perhaps we would be able to normalize relations with them. But they are the enemies of our religion, the enemies of our people. They are our enemies historically and ideologically – our enemies in everything. They are treacherous people. They betrayed the Prophet Muhammad three times. If they weren’t honest with the Prophet Muhammad, how can they be honest with you? In addition, whenever the Jews entered a country, they destroyed its moral values and its economy. These are people who worship money and gold. […] The Jews are usurious by religion and by practice. They amass and monopolize gold. […]
“Whoever normalizes relations with the Jews is a Jew like them, even if he is not aware of his Jewish character. He is a Jew just like them, even if he claims to be Muslim. He has the same nature, the same culture, and the same ideology. Our war with the Jews will continue until Judgment Day – just like the Christians who occupy our countries, plunder our resources, and fight our religion….” {end of quote by Muhanna Hamad Al-Muhanna}
RESUMPTION OF COMMENT:
Just as we writers always urge you to test the validity of what is spoken to you from the pulpit or like forum, so ought you test what you read in the media, particularly if the accredited sources have been revealed. In that way you can do your own research and apply the litmus test of truth against them. If there is no accredited source, it is generally safe to assume you should ignore it. In this case, the commentators are using actual quotes. There is a video link in the above links to the Kuwaiti religious who made the original comments. Robert Spencer in turn, backs up his commentary with the relevant quotes from the Qur’an. We need therefore, go no further. We have validated our sources as best we can.
Might I, with great respect, add this. When someone tells you that you mustn’t speak to a particular subject or even harbor doubts on an issue put to you as ‘fact’ (on pain of censure or legal injunction), then be very afraid. I have added very little to these quotes and sources because they speak for themselves. I would finally comment that when someone tells me that he hates me and wishes me dead, then backs that up with written emphasis, I have little reason left to doubt his intentions.
Such is the world in which we now live. And where ‘peaceful co-existence’ translates to ‘keep your mouth shut or else!’
Maranatha: for I have no portion in this pottage.
