GLOBAL MUSLIM TERRORISM - Remembering the Jews expelled from Muslim lands

 

Remembering the Jews expelled from Muslim lands



Jews have lived among the Arabs and Persians long before the invention of Islam — literally from time immemorial, as Joan Peters detailed in her well documented book of the same name.  The relationship of the multifaceted and diverse dominant Arab cultures with the Jews varied in time and place, ranging from Arab tolerance to severe restrictions and forced conversions, expulsions, and death.  Sound familiar?  Outside invaders and conquerors even expelled Jews from their own land, now known as Israel, several times, who then sought refuge and safety by joining their fellow Jews in other lands.  However, some Jews always remained in their real homeland, Israel, while others managed to return over the centuries.  And all of this occurred long before the return to and re-establishment of Israel in 1948.

But there are also the modern Jewish refugees that few acknowledge.  While many crocodile tears have been shed over the so-called Palestinian refugees who fled after they fought and lost to the new/old Jewish state 72 years ago, little has been written about those other refugees — Jews forcibly expelled from Muslim lands.  As Dana Avrish, the granddaughter of Jews who fled Iran, Syria, and Lebanon explains:

"Get out! leave, never to return!" How would you feel if you were told today? that you are expelled, need to leave and never to return. You have one direction of travel, and at best you will be allowed to take one suitcase in which you will have to shrink your entire world.

This is what happened to hundreds of thousands of Jews in Arab countries and Iran, those words stamped on their exit certificates and passports of hundreds of thousands of Jews who became refugees overnight. The Jewish refugees from the Arab countries and Iran. (snip)

The Jews who were displaced from Arab countries and Iran became victims, who suffered blatant violations of human rights in the countries where their lives were conducted. Some were forced to leave, to sign a document allowing them to leave the country while confiscating all their property, when all the property they could carry with them in their escape was confined to one suitcase.

As Hillel Neuer of U.N. Watch asked the various Muslim countries at the U.N. last year on the 73rd anniversary of the U.N.'s partition plan, which was accepted by the Jews but rejected by the Arabs, who launched a war of annihilation against Israel and the Jews living in Muslim countries: "Where are your Jews?"

We're still waiting for an answer.

In a speech along with a Twitter thread, Neuer outlined the true — and tragic — answer.  

On this day 72 years ago, Nov. 30, 1947 — a day after the UN voted to partition Palestine into Arab and Jewish states — Syria incited mobs in Aleppo. Rioters burned 50 Jewish shops, 5 schools, 18 synagogues, the community's orphanage, a youth club & 150 homes.

In Aden, now part of Yemen, local Arabs slaughtered 87 Jews, including children, women and the elderly; dozens more were seriously injured; the two Jewish schools, several synagogues and many homes were destroyed; every Jewish shop was looted.

In December 1960, Algerian Arabs attacked the Great Synagogue of Algiers, ripped memorial plaques from the walls & torched Torah scrolls. In June 1961, the murder of famed Jewish musician Sheikh Raymond Leiris was seen as a warning, prompting Jews to flee.

And on and on and on...

Remembering this tragedy, Israel established a commemorative day to mark the departure and deportation of Jews from Arab countries and Iran, celebrated in Israel and around the world, in ceremonies, academic conferences, poetry evenings, and Kaddish prayers in memory of all Arab Jews murdered or that their burial place was not known.

There are also be concerts of Arab Jewish music and undoubtedly many family gatherings, religious services, and other private events where the surviving refugees and their families and friends will reminisce about the old country and their forced, abrupt departure, telling their descendants about their ancestors' past.

Remember.  And don't forget.


THE AMERICAN PEOPLE HAVE PUMPED HUNDREDS OF BILLIONS INTO THIS ANTI-CHRISTIAN, ANTI-JEWISH COUNTRY. TIME TO STOP FUNDING MUSLM DICTATORSHIP?

A prayer to Allah to “destroy the enemies of Islam, and annihilate the heretics and the atheists” is not just a request directed to the deity. The Qur’an explicitly says that Allah will punish people by the hands of the believers: “Fight them; Allah will punish them by your hands and will disgrace them and give you victory over them and satisfy the breasts of a believing people, and remove the fury in the believers’ hearts.” (9:14-15) Thus Kathrada may be issuing a call to action to believers who think it incumbent upon themselves to heed this Qur’anic directive and become instruments of Allah’s wrath.

100 Arrested in Egypt After Muslim Mob Attacks Coptic Christians over ‘Insulting’ Facebook Post

A mob of Muslim villagers in Egypt attacked a church and assaulted Coptic Christians in retaliation for a Facebook post published by a young Coptic man, which Muslim locals considered insulting to the Prophet Muhammad.

Egyptian authorities made a number of arrests in the village of al Barsha, located in the Minya governorate, late last week after the mob began hurling stones and Molotov cocktails at the homes of Copts while others stormed the Abu Siffin Church during a church service, the Middle East Monitor reported Friday.

The rioters also ransacked a number of shops owned by Christians and an elderly Coptic woman was hospitalized for burns suffered in a fire after her home was torched.

Initial reports said that police had arrested eight people but later reports said they had arrested a hundred people, including 35 Copts.

One video recording circulating on social media showed a group of people chanting: “There is no God but Allah, and Muhammad is his messenger,” as they pelted a crowd of Christians with stones.

General Osama Al Qadi, Governor of the Minya Province, called a meeting at which he said that measures will be taken against “anyone who offends others,” reiterating that “no one will be allowed to sow discord between people who belong to the same nation,” while inviting local imams to focus their sermons in mosques on the themes of peaceful coexistence and tolerance.

Last week, International Christian Concern (ICC) reported that free speech is suffering in Egypt as a number of human rights activists associated with the Egyptian Initiative for Personal Rights (EIPR) have been arrested and blasphemy charges against Christians are on the increase.

Just since the start of the coronavirus pandemic at least five blasphemy cases have been opened against Coptic Christians, ICC said, all of which involved social media, which is closely monitored and restricted in Egypt.

On November 11, Egyptian police arrested a young Christian teacher named Youssef Hany in northeastern Egypt on charges of insulting Islam in a Facebook post.

Mr. Hany posted comments responding to a Muslim who had expressed her opposition to criticisms of Islam by the president of France and other French citizens.

Although Hany has been released on bail, he could face up to five years in prison and a fine of 500 to 1,000 Egyptian pounds (about $30 to $60) under a blasphemy law that calls for a minimum of six months of prison.

Hany’s attorney has claimed the charges are unconstitutional, since Egypt’s blasphemy law violates constitutional guarantees of freedom of expression and religious liberty. The law is used almost exclusively against critics of Islam and is rarely invoked against anti-Christian comments.

There are approximately 15 million Christians in Egypt out of a total population of over 104 million.

A prayer to Allah to “destroy the enemies of Islam, and annihilate the heretics and the atheists” is not just a request directed to the deity. The Qur’an explicitly says that Allah will punish people by the hands of the believers: “Fight them; Allah will punish them by your hands and will disgrace them and give you victory over them and satisfy the breasts of a believing people, and remove the fury in the believers’ hearts.” (9:14-15) Thus Kathrada may be issuing a call to action to believers who think it incumbent upon themselves to heed this Qur’anic directive and become instruments of Allah’s wrath.

California Jihadi Planned to Kill People, Then Read Qur’an Until Police Arrived

Not that this has anything to do with Islam.

Mon Nov 23, 2020 

Robert Spencer

Yet another blow to the establishment media narrative came Wednesday. The Associated Press reported that Faisal Mohammad, who in 2015 stabbed four people in a classroom at the University of California, Merced, where he was a freshman, “planned to praise Allah while slitting the throats of classmates and use a gun taken from an ambushed officer to kill more.” Then he planned to call 911 to report the killings, “read the Quran until he heard sirens, and then ‘take calm shot after shot’ with the gun” when the police arrived. All this happened while the U.S. government was institutionally and thoroughgoingly committed to the proposition that Islam is a peaceful and tolerant religion that has nothing whatsoever to do with terrorism. And even after four years of President Trump, that institutional culture hasn’t changed.

The detailed plan that Mohammad sketched out for his attack has just been released; it “included putting on a balaclava at 7:45 a.m. and saying ‘in the name of Allah’ before stepping into his classroom and ordering students to use zip-ties he provided to bind their hands. Mohammad also planned to make a fake 911 distress call to report a suicidal guy [sic; this is how they write at AP these days] and wait for police outside the classroom before ambushing from behind ‘and slit calmly yet forcefully one of the officers with guns.’”

It was during that wait that he planned to sit down and spend some time in spiritual reading. Yet Mohammad’s attack, as The College Fix reported back in November 2015, was characterized as “revenge for being kicked out of a study group.” The establishment media gave scant attention to the fact that “Mohammad was found to have an image of the ISIS flag, a handwritten manifesto with instructions on how to behead someone, and reminders to pray to Allah.”

The university where this jihad attack took place was even worse. The College Fix reported that instead of waking up to the reality of Islamic jihad, many at the University of California-Merced mourned for the attacker, with a Facebook “R.I.P” tribute to Faisal Mohammad “gaining massive support among the campus community.”

Even worse, UC Merced faculty hosted a “teach in” that about 200 students attented, entitled “Don’t Turn Our Tragedy Into Hate” that was “conspicuously devoid of discussions of radical Islam, and instead delved into topics such as how society’s notions of masculinity pressure men.” Among the topics discussed at this “teach in” were “What does mental health have to do with this?”; “Why are men more likely to be perpetrators of violence?”; “How do we define our community – what lives are grievable?”; and “What do race and religion have to do with this?”

One speaker suggested that the attack was all about men not being allowed to be weak, self-centered, weepy narcissists: “Anger, that is really what we think about when we think about emotional men. They are subject to social sanctions if they deviate from masculinity. If you are perceived as failing at it, you are subject to being called a fag, a pussy, a wimp, pretty much what women are, right? So when you have this limited ability to sort of express your emotions and possible feelings of emasculation, of low self esteem, how do you really [deal with] that? A lot of times they … engage in violence. They need to compensate for their loss of masculinity in the most manly way they have access to, and unfortunately, a lot of times that’s violence.”

Yes, you see? Faisal Mohammad stabbed four people just because he was a sensitive soul in a world that was too harsh for him. Why, what other explanation could there possibly be? According to one student who attended the teach in, “‘Islamophobia’ was cited as the reason people want to call it a terrorist attack….‘People were quick to sympathize with the attacker and assume anyone who thought this was related to radical Islam was a xenophobic racist.’”

The University of California Merced is no different from any other campus all over the country today: full of indoctrinated bots who have been thoroughly imbued with the notion that when Islamic jihadists attack us, it is our fault. All too many even among law enforcement and counterterrorism officials assume the same thing. No number of Faisal Mohammads, and there will be many more, will convince them otherwise. Nonetheless, it is unfortunate but true that eventually all this denial and willful ignorance is going to blow up in everyone’s face. We can only hope that this doesn’t happen literally.

Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden promised on Wednesday that Muslim Americans would serve at “every level” of his administration.  In a video message to civil rights organization Muslim Advocates, Biden repeated his pledge to repeal the Trump administration's travel ban on his first day in office.  The former vice president added that he would push for legislation to fight a rise in hate crimes in the United States, according to media reports.  “As president, I'll work with you to rip the poison of hate from our society, honor your contributions and seek your ideas,” Biden said in the video address.  “My administration will look like America, Muslim Americans serving at every level,” he added.

Tigrayan 'Youth Group' Massacres Hundreds in Ethiopia

Pro-China WHO boss Tedros is key figure in Tigray Peoples Liberation Front.

 

 

“Scores, and likely hundreds, of people were stabbed or hacked to death in Mai-Kadra, a town in the South West Zone of Ethiopia’s Tigray Region on the night of 9 November,” Amnesty International is confirming. The human rights organization verified “photographs and videos of bodies strewn across the town or being carried away on stretchers.”

Deprose Muchena, Amnesty International’s director for east and southern Africa, “confirmed the massacre of a very large number of civilians, who appear to have been day laborers in no way involved in the ongoing military offensive.”

A report from the Ethiopian Human Rights Commission accusing a Tigrayan youth group known as “Samri” of targeting non-Tigrayan seasonal laborers  working on sorghum farms. The perpetrators, “killed hundreds of people, beating them with batons/sticks, stabbing them with knives, machetes and hatchets and strangling them with ropes. They also looted and destroyed properties,” according to the commission, headed by an appointee of Ethiopian Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed, last year’s winner of the Nobel Peace Prize.

Prime Minister Ahmed accuses the Tigray Peoples Liberation Front (TPLF) of seeking to destabilize his government. Ethiopia’s army chief, Aljazeera reports, has accused the World Health Organization (WHO) director Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus of supporting the TPLF.

“This man is a member of that group and he has been doing everything to support them,” Gen. Jula, told reporters.

“There have been reports suggesting I am taking sides in this situation. This is not true,” Tedros wrote on Twitter.  “I want to say that I am on only one side and that is the side of peace.”

Tedros is indeed a Tigrayan and served as health minister in a previous government headed by the TPLF. The current government is accusing the TPLF of attacking a military base to steal weapons. Fighting broke out on November 4, five days before the Mai-Kadra massacre. It was not the first such deadly incident tied to the TPLF.

Tedros is a high-ranking member of the TPLF’s central committee or politburo. The TPLF formed out of the Marxist-Leninist League of Tigray (MLLT) and has been accused of “crimes against humanity” for a systematic genocide against the Amhara people, which the TPLF identifies as its “eternal enemy.” Tedros was a leading public-health figure in Ethiopia at the time, and during the 1990s the U.S. government listed the TPLF as a terrorist group.

For his part, Tedros earned a bachelor’s degree in biology in 1986 but he is not a medical doctor. In 2001 he was appointed head of the Tigray Regional Health Bureau and two years later became state minister of health. While serving as federal health minister, from 2005-2012, Tedros covered up three separate cholera outbreaks. Even so, in 2017, the rigidly pro-China Tedros got the nod to head the World Health Organization, the first non-doctor to hold the position.

In October, 2017, Tedros tapped former Zimbabwean dictator Robert Mugabe to serve as WHO “goodwill ambassador.” Aside from Ugandan  dictator Idi Amin, who slaughtered as many as 500,000 people, Mugabe is one of the more loathsome figures in recent African history. Tedros hailed Mugabe’s universal health system, which the dictator left in shambles as he traveled to Singapore for his own medical treatment.

In late 2019, the deadly coronavirus/COVID-19 pandemic emerged from Wuhan, but the Chinese government did not acknowledge human-to-human transmission until January 20, long after hundreds, possibly thousands of carriers had traveled from China around the world. WHO boss Tedros praised China’s every move, and the TPLF man has a big fan in Dr. Anthony Fauci, head of the federal National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) since 1984 and a member of the White house coronavirus task force. 

Tedros is really an outstanding person,” Fauci said during a March 25 briefing. “I’ve known him from the time that he was the minister of health of Ethiopia.” No word about Tedros’ TPLF ties and his cholera coverups. Fauci admitted the WHO had “problems” over the years but “under his leadership, they’ve done very well.” By that time, the PRC had silenced dissenters and the WHO was the Communist government’s most faithful mouthpiece. NIAID boss Fauci, who sent US funds to the Wuhan Institute of Virology, said the WHO “has been all over this.”

What Catholics Need to Know about Islam

A new book blasts the lies and distortions of Pope Francis and the Catholic hierarchy.

 

 

Raymond Ibrahim is a Shillman Fellow at the David Horowitz Freedom Center.

Of the various strands of Christianity, historically, Catholicism was the chief enemy of Islam.  It was the popes who called for the crusades; and it was Catholics who took the cross.

Times have changed, radically.  Today, the Catholic Church’s hierarchy stands among the greatest apologists for Islam.  Europe’s top cardinal, Jean-Claude Hollerich, recently said, for instance, that “Prophet Muhammad would have been ashamed” of the terrorism plaguing France, including the butchery of elderly Christians inside their church in Nice, and the beheading of a French teacher who “blasphemed” against Muhammad. 

Indeed, one need only look to Pope Francis for a plethora of apologias concerning Islam, which he regularly presents as a “sister” religion to Christianity that seeks only to coexistent peacefully with Catholics and everyone else.  Just because some Muslims “misinterpret” their religion, the pope has insisted, is not Islam’s fault.

Thus, in 2016, when a journalist asked Pope Francis if Fr. Jacques—another French priest slaughtered by Muslims inside his church during mass—was “killed in the name of Islam,” Francis adamantly disagreed.  He argued that he hears of Catholics committing violence every day in Italy: “this one who has murdered his girlfriend, another who has murdered the mother-in-law… and these are baptized Catholics! There are violent Catholics!  If I speak of Islamic violence, I must speak of Catholic violence.”

Apparently, for this pope, violence done in accordance with Allah’s commandments—for example the execution of blasphemers—is no more troubling than violence done in contradiction of the Christian God’s commandments.  By this perverse logic, if we hold Islam accountable, so must we hold Christianity accountable, regardless of the fact that Islam does justify violence—against apostates, blasphemers, infidels in general, et. al.—while Christianity condemns it.

If this is the Catholic hierarchy’s “official” position on Islam, clearly, the Catholic Church as a body is not just forfeiting its 1,400 years of experience with and knowledge of Islam; it is being indoctrinated in the exact opposite of truth.

It is for this reason that What Catholics Need to Know about Islam, a new book by William Kilpatrick, is a welcome and timely contribution.  Consisting of some 400 pages divided into 23 chapters, the author explores a variety of topics, which have largely been censored by the Catholic hierarchy, starting with the widespread claim that Christians and Muslims worship the same God—an obvious falsehood, unless one accepts that God is schizophrenic, presenting certain attributes about himself to one group of people, while denouncing those same attributes to another group.

Along with the outright suppression of facts foisted by the apologists, Kilpatrick shows how appeasement, political correctness, and Western self-hatred and/or guilt are being manipulated to make Christians—who by nature are already prone to forgiving their enemies while harshly judging themselves—inadvertently empower Islamic aggression against themselves, as a form of “piety.” 

The author also highlights a number of overlooked parallels.  For example, he shows how Muslim activists employ the same tactics—including through the infiltration and subsequent subversion of government, academia, and media—that have led to the meteoric rise of the LGBT movement, for example. 

Most importantly, Kilpatrick’s book gives the lie to—and is an antidote against—the Catholic hierarchy’s defenses of Islam, including by showing how, through their guidance, the church is dying in Europe, even as mosques litter the landscape.   As he writes, “We are now seeing the resurrection of Islam as a great and dangerous power.” Meanwhile, “the current crop of church leaders has shown an excessive tolerance not only toward Islam, but also toward the world, the flesh, and sometimes, it seems, even toward the devil.” 

That can all change, and rather easily, argues the author.   After all, we are living in a day and age when Islam is inherently weak, capable of terrorizing the West only because the latter provides it with the means to do so.  Thus, for Kilpatrick, to resist “Islam’s totalitarian incursions,” we need not turn to “raising armies and navies”; rather, we need to heed Christ’s words: “The truth shall set you free” (John 8:32).

And, when it comes to the truth concerning Muhammad’s religion—a dangerous truth which has been so utterly suppressed, not least by the Catholic hierarchy—What Catholics Need to Know about Islam is certainly a step in the right direction.

For its part, the China virus has been all over the world, and as death, damage and misery mount, Tedros, continues to parrot and praise China’s Communist government. An apologist of a genocidal Communist regime, with victims in the tens of million, is not likely to be troubled by the massacre of hundreds of unarmed innocents at the hands of a TPLF “youth group.”

The man Dr. Fauci hails as a “really outstanding person” claims he’s only on the side of peace.  If Ethiopians and people around the world thought that was a lie it would be hard to blame them.
