Demonizing Islam, Cui Bono?
Nahida Izzat, Exiled Palestinian
Why are the zionists and their NWO allies fervently waging war against Muslims and Islam?
Why are they spending so much time, money and energy to disfigure this belief system and to dehumanize its followers? Why do they loath the Qur’an and spread abhorrent lies about it?
Is it simply because the Muslim world has some rich resources which they deem theirs and they are hell bent to control and exploit?
Or is it because the Muslims constitute a large section of humanity (almost ¼) which they want to reduce and cut down in their mad genocidal plans for the future?
Though the above reasons contain some truth and carry some weight in them, but that they are not the only reasons.
The “elitists” ambition is to deface and vandalize the ideology contained within Islam, because they know that this system could potentially threaten their objectives and jeopardize their plans of total control of world economy, politics and power.
Islamic heritage, values and morality that constitute a threat to world power:
Let us see what the Qur’an has to say that makes them shiver:
■ Justice is the core of Islam:
Everyone is entitled in full equality to a fair and public hearing by an independent and impartial tribunal, in the determination of his rights and obligations and of any criminal charge against him:
“O ye who believe! be steadfast firmly for God, as witnesses to fair dealing, Let NOT a group’s hostility to you cause you to deviate from JUSTICE. Be JUST, for it is closer to piety. Be God conscious; for God is Well Aware of what you do.” (Qur’an; 5-8 )
“We thus made you an impartial community, that you may serve as witnesses among the people, and the messenger serves as a witness among you” (2:143)
"No soul shall be made to bear the liability of another." (35:18 )
“God commands justice, the doing of good, and kindness to kith and kin, and He forbids all shameful deeds, and injustice and antagonism: He advices you, that ye may be reminded.” (16-90)
"God doth command you to render back your Trusts to those to whom they are due; and when ye judge between people that ye judge with justice: verily how excellent is the teaching which He giveth you! for God is the One who heareth and seeth all things" (4:58)
“The recompense for an injury is an injury equal thereto (in degree): but if a person forgives and makes reconciliation, his reward is due from God; for (God) loveth not those who are wrong-doers”. (42:40)
“O you who believe, equivalence is the law decreed for you when dealing with murder ... If one is pardoned by the victim's kin, an appreciative response is in order, and an equitable compensation shall be paid. This is alleviation from your Lord and mercy. Anyone who transgresses beyond this incurs a painful retribution.” (2:178)
“And if you punish, you shall inflict an equivalent punishment. But if you resort to patience (instead of retribution), it would be better for the patient ones”. (16:126)
“You shall hand over to the orphans their rightful properties. Do not substitute the bad for the good, and do not consume their properties by combining them with yours. This would be a gross injustice.” (4:2)
“You shall test the orphans when they reach puberty. As soon as you find them mature enough, give them their property. Do not consume it extravagantly in a hurry, before they grow up” (4:6)
“O you who believe, do not consume each others' properties illicitly. Only mutually acceptable transactions are permitted. You shall not kill yourselves. God is Merciful towards you.” (4:29)
■ Islam calls for equality and brotherhood of mankind: No racism… No superiority… No tribalism but kindness and respect to the other:
“Ye who believe! Stand out firmly for justice, as witnesses to God, even as against yourselves, or your parents, or your kin, and whether it be (against) rich or poor: for God can best protect both. Follow not the desires (of your hearts) (4:135)
"O mankind! We created you from a single soul, male and female, and made you into nations and tribes, so that you may come to recognize one another. Truly, the most honoured of you in God’s sight is the greatest of you in righteousness. God is All-Knowing, All-Aware". (49.13)
“And among His Signs is the creation of the heavens and the earth, and the variations in your languages and your colours: verily in that are Signs for those who know”.(30-22)
“Had God willed, He could have made you one nation/congregation. But He thus puts you to the test through the revelations He has given each of you. You shall compete in righteousness. To God is your final destiny - all of you - then He will inform you of everything you had disputed” (5:48)
"An Arab has no superiority over a non-Arab nor a non-Arab has any superiority over an Arab; also a white has no superiority over a black, nor a black has any superiority over a white" saying of Muhammed
■ Islam forbids aggression:
Muslims do NOT believe in "wars of aggression", and NO war is "holy" according to Islamic tradition, but the Qur’an permits self defence, when you are occupied, attacked, oppressed, unable to negotiate constructively and effectively, when your rights are violated and when you are prevented from living your life in a dignified and free manner, then and ONLY then you have the PERMISSION to fight back
‘You may fight in the cause of God against those who fight you, but DO NOT INITIATE AGGRESSION. God does not love transgressors.’ (Quran; 2.190)
" And when he turns away, he roams the earth corruptingly, destroying properties and lives. God does not love corruption” (2:205)
"And O my people! Give just measure and weight, do not withhold from the people the things that are their due: commit not evil in the land with intent to do mischief" (11:85)
“Pharaoh turned into a tyrant on earth, and discriminated against some people. He persecuted a helpless group of them, slaughtering their sons, while sparing their daughters. He was indeed wicked.” (28:4)
■ Islam gives the permission to fighting BACK and resisting all oppressive and tyrannical regimes in defence of the oppressed:
“And what is wrong with you that you fight not in the Cause of God, and on behalf of those who are weak, ill treated and oppressed among men, women, and children, whose cry is: “Our Lord! Rescue us from this town (to freedom) whose people are oppressors; and raise for us, out of Thy Grace, a protector, and raise for us, out of Thy Grace, one who will bring us victory.” (4:75)
“To those against whom war is made, PERMISSION is given (to fight back), because they are wronged; and verily, God is most powerful for their aid; (They are) those who have been expelled from their homes in defiance of right,-(for no cause) except that they say, our Lord is God”. (22:39-40)
“ You shall not kill any person - for God has made life sacred - except in the course of justice. If one is killed unjustly, then we give his heir authority to enforce justice. Thus, he shall not exceed the limits in avenging the murder, he will be helped.” (17:33)
“ You may fight back those who wage war against you, and you may evict them whence they evicted you. Oppression is worse than murder” (2:191)
“Show forgiveness, speak for justice and avoid the ignorant.” (7:199)
“But show them forgiveness, and say "Peace!" and soon shall they know!” (43; 89)
'If they seek peace, then seek you peace. And trust in God for He is the One that heareth and knoweth all things.' (8.61)
“But God does call to the Home of Peace” (10-25)
■ Islam calls for democracy, religious tolerance, calls for freedom of thought and protection of the individual’s right to choose his/her ideology:
“No compulsion in religion or ideology” (2:256)
“Say: O you that reject Faith! I worship not that which you worship, and you do not worship that which I worship... To you be your Way, and to me mine”. (109:1-6)
The verse “no compulsion in religion” (2:256) and the verse "To you your religion, to me my religion” (109:6) have been interpreted in the Islamic legal and theological traditions to mean that the "followers of other religions should not be forced to adopt Islam". Also they have been used as a "proof-text for pluralism and coexistence" and they served to implement tolerance of other religions under Muslim rule.
لَآ إِكۡرَاهَ فِى ٱلدِّينِۖ قَد تَّبَيَّنَ ٱلرُّشۡدُ مِنَ ٱلۡغَىِّۚ فَمَن يَكۡفُرۡ بِٱلطَّـٰغُوتِ وَيُؤۡمِنۢ بِٱللَّهِ فَقَدِ ٱسۡتَمۡسَكَ بِٱلۡعُرۡوَةِ ٱلۡوُثۡقَىٰ لَا ٱنفِصَامَ لَهَاۗ وَٱللَّهُ سَمِيعٌ عَلِيمٌ (٢٥٦)
"Let there be no compulsion in religion: Truth stands out clear from Error: whoever rejects evil and believes in God hath grasped the most trustworthy hand-hold that never breaks. And God heareth and knoweth all things" (2.256)
قُلۡ يَـٰٓأَيُّہَا ٱلۡڪَـٰفِرُونَ (١) لَآ أَعۡبُدُ مَا تَعۡبُدُونَ (٢) وَلَآ أَنتُمۡ عَـٰبِدُونَ مَآ أَعۡبُدُ (٣) وَلَآ أَنَا۟ عَابِدٌ۬ مَّا عَبَدتُّمۡ (٤) وَلَآ أَنتُمۡ عَـٰبِدُونَ مَآ أَعۡبُدُ (٥) لَكُمۡ دِينُكُمۡ وَلِىَ دِينِ (٦)
"Say : O ye that reject Faith!
I worship not that which ye worship,
Nor will ye worship that which I worship.
And I will not worship that which ye have been wont to worship,
Nor will ye worship that which I worship
To you be your religion and to me mine.”
(109:1-6)
lled, He could have made you one nation/ congregation. But He thus puts you to the test through the revelations He has given each of you. You shall compete in righteousness. To God is your final destiny - all of you - then He will inform you of everything you had disputed” (5:48)
“We showed him the Way: whether he be grateful or ungrateful (rests on his will)”. (76:3)
“Let there arise out of you a band of people inviting to all that is good, enjoining what is right, and forbidding what is wrong: They are the ones to attain felicity”. (3:104)
"And their affairs are (conducted) through consultation among themselves." (42:38 )
“If any one does a righteous deed, it ensures to the benefit of his own soul; if he does evil, it works against (his own soul). In the end will you (all) be brought back to your Lord”. (45; 15)
“Proclaim: "This is the truth from your Lord," then whoever wills let him believe, and whoever wills let him disbelieve” (18:29)
“Each of you chooses the direction to follow; you shall race towards righteousness. Wherever you may be, God will summon you all. God is Omnipotent.” (2:148)
“They respond to their Lord by observing the Contact Prayers. Their affairs are decided after due consultation among themselves, and from our provisions to them they give (to charity)” (42:38)
“They are the ones who examine all words, then follow the best. These are the ones whom God has guided; these are the ones who possess intelligence.” (39:18)
■ Islam calls for respect of people of other ideologies and religions: Every one will be judged fairly, salvation is for ALL good-doers, not just Muslims:
"Anyone who does an atom weight of good shall see it, and and anyone who does an atom weight of evil shall see it" (99:7-8)
“Those who believe, and those who follow the Jewish (scriptures), and the Christians and the Sabians,- any who believe in God and the Last Day, and work righteousness, shall have their reward with their Lord; on them shall be no fear, nor shall they grieve.” (2.062)
“Anyone seeking dignity should know that to God belongs all dignity. To Him ascends the good words, and He exalts the righteous works. As for those who scheme evil works, they incur severe retribution; the scheming of such people is destined to fail” (35:10)
"Say: "O people of the Book! come to common terms as between us and you: that we worship none but God; that we associate no partners with Him; that we erect not from among ourselves Lords and patrons other than God." If then they turn back, say: ye! "Bear witness that we (at least) are Muslims (bowing to God's will)." (3:64)
“Whoever wrongs one with whom a treaty has been made ( dhimmi) and lays on him a burden beyond his strength, I will be his accuser” Hadith (saying of Muhammed)
"One who kills a man under covenant (peace treaty) will not even smell the fragrance of Paradise" Hadith (saying of Muhammed)
■ Islam FORBIDS USURY and rejects financial systems which are built upon interest, debt and the exploitation of the poor, and promotes kindness and charity as the foundation of caring society:
“O ye who believe! Devour not usury, doubled and multiplied; but be God-conscious. That ye may (really) prosper” (3:130)
“Woe to those that deal in fraud, Those who, when they have to receive by measure from men, exact full measure, But when they have to give by measure or weight to men, give less than due. Do they not think that they will be called to account?” (83:1-4)
“If the debtor is in a difficulty, grant him time till it is easy for him to repay. But if ye remit it by way of charity, that is best for you if ye only knew”. (2:280)
“God will deprive usury of all blessing, but will give increase for deeds of charity: For He loveth not creatures ungrateful and wicked. Those who believe, and do deeds of righteousness, and establish regular prayers and regular charity, will have their reward with their Lord: on them shall be no fear, nor shall they grieve. O ye who believe! Be God-conscious, and give up what remains of your demand for usury, if ye are indeed believers.If ye do it not, take notice of war from God and His Messenger: but if ye repent ye shall have your capital sums; deal not unjustly and ye shall not be dealt with unjustly" (2: 276-279 )
"Those who devour usury will not stand except as stands one whom the Evil One by his touch hath driven to madness. That is because they say: "Trade is like usury, but God hath permitted trade and forbidden usury. Those who after receiving direction from their Lord, desist, shall be pardoned for the past; their case is for God (to judge); but those who repeat (the offence) are companions of the Fire: they will abide therein" (2:275)
■ Islam goes beyond social justice to compassion and generosity:
So he who gives (in charity) and is God-conscious, and (in all sincerity) confirms the good, We will pave his way to bliss. But he who is a greedy, stingy and thinks himself self-sufficient, and denies the good, We will indeed pave his way to Misery. His wealth will not be of any help to him when he falls headlong (into the Pit)” (92:1-11)
“Do you know who really rejects the faith? That is the one who mistreats the orphans. And does not advocate the feeding of the poor. And woe to those who observe the contact prayers - who are totally heedless of their prayers. They only show off. And they forbid charity.” (107:1-7)
“They ask you about giving: say, "The charity you give shall go to the parents, the relatives, the orphans, the poor, and the travelling foreigner." Any good you do, God is fully aware thereof.” (2:215)
“Part of their money is set aside. For the poor and the needy.” (70:24-25)
"By no means shall ye attain righteousness unless ye give (freely) of that which ye love; and whatever ye give, God knoweth it well" (3:92)
"Those who (in charity) spend of their goods by night and by day, in secret, and in public, have their reward with their Lord: on them shall be no fear, nor shall they grieve" (2:274)
“(You shall give) to the needy who immigrated. They were evicted from their homes and deprived of their properties, because they sought God's grace and pleasure” (59:8)
■ Islam liberates, dignifies and restores the rights of women:
“The Believers, men and women, are protectors one of another: they enjoin what is just, and forbid what is evil: they observe regular prayers, practise regular charity, and obey God and His Messenger. On them will God pour His mercy: for God is Exalted in power, Wise”. (9:71)
“If any do deeds of righteousness, be they male or female - and have faith, they will enter Heaven, and not the least injustice will be done to them”. (3-124)
“It is He who created you from a single soul, and made its mate of like nature, in order that he might dwell with her (in love)”. (7:189)
“And among His Signs is this: He created for you mates from among yourselves that ye may dwell in tranquillity with them, and He plants love and mercy between your (hearts): verily in that are Signs for those who reflect. (30-21)
“For Muslim men and women, for believing men and women, for devout men and women, for truthful men and women, for men and women who are patient and constant, for men and women who humble themselves, for men and women who give in Charity, for men and women who fast (and deny themselves), for men and women who guard their chastity, and for men and women who engage much in God’s praise; for them has God prepared forgiveness and great reward”. (33:35)
“The divorcees also shall be provided for, equitably. This is a duty upon the righteous.” (2:241)
“If a couple fears separation, you shall appoint an mediator from his family and an mediator from her family; if they decide to reconcile, God will help them get together” (4:35)
■ Islam calls for equality of mankind; no man is a slave for another:
“Did we not show him the two paths? He should choose the difficult path. Which one is the difficult path? The freeing of slaves, and feeding, during the time of hardship. (90:10-14)
“Righteousness is not turning your faces towards the east or the west. Righteous are those who believe in God, the Last Day, the angels, the scripture, and the prophets; and they give the money, cheerfully, to the relatives, the orphans, the needy, the travelling foreigners, the beggars, and to free the slaves” (2:177)
“Charities shall go to the poor, the needy, the workers who collect them, the new converts, to free the slaves, to those burdened by sudden expenses, in the cause of God, and to the travelling foreigners. Such is God's commandment. God is Omniscient, Most Wise” (9:60)
■ Islam calls for equality before the law, no man is infallible:
All are equal before the law and are entitled to equal protection without any discrimination.
“God knows best about your belief, and you are equal to one another, as far as belief is concerned” (4:25)
“He (Muhammad) frowned and turned away. When the blind man came to him. How do you know? He may purify himself. Or he may take heed, and benefit from the message. As for the rich man. You gave him your attention. Even though you could not guarantee his salvation. The one who came to you eagerly. And is really reverent. You ignored him. Indeed, this is a reminder.” (80:1-11)
■ Islam calls for open-mindedness and using one’s intellect:
“Let the human reflect on his creation.” (86:5)
“We made the Qur’an easy to learn. Does any of you wish to learn?” (54:17)
“You shall not accept any information, unless you verify it for yourself. I have given you the hearing, the eyesight, and the brain, and you are responsible for using them.” (17:36)
"Behold! in the creation of the heavens and the earth, and the alternation of Night and Day,― there are indeed Signs for men of understanding. Men who celebrate the praises of God standing, sitting, and lying down on their sides, and contemplate the (wonders of) creation in the heavens and the earth, (with the thought): "Our Lord! not for naught hast Thou created (all) this! Glory to Thee! Give us salvation from the penalty of the Fire" (3: 190-191)
“They are the ones who examine all words, then follow the best. These are the ones whom God has guided; these are the ones who possess intelligence.” (39:18)
■ Islam calls for honest dealing, protection of human dignity and the right to privacy:
“Woe to every backbiter, slanderer.” (104:1)
“O you who believe, you shall avoid any suspicion, for even a little bit of suspicion is sinful. You shall not spy on one another, nor shall you backbite one another; this is as abominable as eating the flesh of your dead brother. You certainly abhor this. You shall observe God. God is Redeemer, Most Merciful.” (49:12)
“It was mercy from God that you became compassionate towards them. Had you been harsh and mean-hearted, they would have abandoned you. Therefore, you shall pardon them and ask forgiveness for them, and consult them” (3:159)
"And do not eat up your property among yourselves for vanities, nor use it as bait for the judges, with intent that ye may eat up wrongfully and knowingly a little of (other) people's property" (2:188)
"Kind words and the covering of faults are better than charity followed by injury. God is free of all wants, and He is Most Forbearing" (2:263)
"O ye who believe! Cancel not your charity by reminders of your generosity or by injury― like those who spend their substance to be seen of men" (2:264)
"O ye who believe! Give of the good things which ye have (honourably) earned, and of the fruits of the earth which We have produced for you, and do not even aim at getting anything which is bad in order, that out of it ye may give away something, when ye yourselves would not receive it except with closed eyes. And know that God is Free of all wants and Worthy of all praise" (2:267)
“You shall give full weight and full measure when you trade, equitably” (6:152)
"O my people, you shall give full measure and full weight, equitably. Do not cheat the people out of their rights, and do not roam the earth corruptingly” (11:85)
■ Islam hold parents in the highest esteem:
“And We have enjoined on the human being in (regard to) his two parents - his mother bore him in weakness upon weakness, and his weaning was two years - Give thanks to Me and to your parents. To Me is the goal. But if they strive with you to associate with Me (gods) you do not know about, then do not obey them. But keep company with them both in the world in an honourable manner, and follow the path of who repents to Me. Then I will tell you what you have worked." (31:14-15)
"And We have enjoined on the human being in (regard to) his two parents the most beautiful conduct. But if they strive with you to associate with Me (gods) you do not know about, then do not obey them. You all will return to Me and I will tell you what you have worked" (29: 8)
"And We have enjoined on the human being in (regard to) his two parents the most beautiful conduct. His mother bore him under duress and brought him forth under duress. And his bearing and his weaning was thirty months. At length, when he reaches the age of forty, he says, "My Lord and Sustainer, grant to me that I am thankful for the graciousness that You have bestowed upon me and upon my parents, and that I may work righteousness pleasing to You, and make my offspring righteous. Surely I turn to You and surely I am of those who submit (to You)." (46:15)
"Your Lord has commanded that you shall not worship (anyone) but Him and to be good to the parents. If either or both of them reach old age with you, say not to them (so much as) 'Ugh' nor chide them, and speak to them a generous word. And lower for them 'the wings of humility' out of mercy; and pray; 'O my Lord! Have mercy on them as they brought me up (when I was) little.'" (17:23-24)
"O Prophet) say, "Come, I will read out to you the sacred rules your Lord and Sustainer has given you: That you do not associate anything as a partner with Him. That you give beautiful conduct to the two parents. That you do not kill your children fearing flat poverty - We will provide for you and for them. That you do not even go near lewdness, neither the obvious nor the hidden. That you do not kill the life that God has made sacred, except in the truth (when justified). That is what He has enjoined upon you in order that you become intelligent." (6:151)
"O humankind! Be in awe of your Lord and Sustainer, He who created you all from a single soul, and created from it its mate, and from the two of them brought forth many men and women. Be in awe of God and of the wombs (that bore you). Surely God is watching over you."(4: 1)
■ Islam calls for perfecting human values and elevating the standard of morality:
Prophet Muhammad, Peace be upon him, declared "Verily I was sent to this World to define (and live by) the Generous Temperament (Makarem Elakhlaq)." According to him, the codes of Generous Temperament are seven:
Pardoning those who have oppressed you
Giving to those who have deprived you
Connecting with those who have shunned you
Benefiting those who have abused you
Counselling those who have deceived you
Forgiving those who have maligned you
Forbearing with those who have angered you.
phet Muhammad also said:
“God, said: O My servants, I have forbidden oppression for Myself and have made it forbidden amongst you, so do not oppress one another.”
“You will never enter Paradise until you become believers, and you will not become believers until you love each other.”
"None of you truly believes until he loves for his brother what he loves for himself"
"God has no mercy on one who has no mercy for others."
"The most excellent Jihad is that for the conquest of self"
"Do not belittle any act of kindness, even that of greeting your brother with a cheerful countenance."
"Your smile in the face of your brother is an act of charity"
"God does not judge you according to your appearance and your wealth, but He looks at your hearts and looks into your deeds"
"Who is the most favoured of God? He, from whom the greatest good comes to His creatures"
"It is difficult for a man laden with riches to climb the steep path, that leads to bliss"
"Who are the learned? Those who practice what they know."
"Kindness is a mark of faith, and whoever is not kind has no faith."
"Whoever is kind, God will be kind to him; therefore be kind to people on the earth. He Who is in heaven will show mercy on you"
"God has revealed to me, that you must be humble. No one should boast over one another, and no one should oppress another"
"Say what is true, although it may be bitter and displeasing to people"
"The most perfect in faith amongst believers is he who is best in manner and kindest to his wife."
"Practice humility until no one oppresses or belittles another"
"A believer is not the one who eats his fill while his next door neighbour goes hungry."
"A good word is charity"
From the above, it is not difficult to understand why Islam constitutes a threat to the “elitists”, the New World Order orchestrates with their dark agenda of creating a Talmudic New World Order, with “new world religion”, that stems from the Chabadist Masonic Kabala and the Talmudic Noahide teaching which they have been paving the ground for, and shoving down the throats of spiritually parched people in the West, which on the surface looks appealing as it calls for unity of all religions, peace, and love, but upon closer inspection its dark core would be exposed.
They start with the concept of “we humans have the divine within us” and end up with: “you are god in the making” and of course they the "masters" are gods already, hence a hierarchical system of superior beings and slaves would be established.
The "New Age" concept of “gods in the making”[*] leads to an immensely blown up ego and selfish individuals. it is the root of the kabalastic philosophy of precedence of individualism in opposition to the philosophy of primacy of the community and the whole.
They start with beautiful concepts such as “peace and love” and end up criminalising any voice of resistance, hence turning the masses into brainwashed and artificially smiling zombies.
They start with observable norms of “duality” and end up with “there is no good or evil, both are the same and equally needed and valued”.
That's what they are cultivating the earth for, and that's why Islam is a REAL THREAT.
■ Islam also gave severe warning to those who have hijacked religions, distorted the authentic messages of God, and falsified the teaching of prophets:
“O people of the scripture, do not transgress the limits of your religion, and do not say about God except the truth” (4:171)
“Say, "O people of the scripture, do not transgress the limits of your religion beyond the truth, and do not follow the opinions of people who have gone astray, and have misled multitudes of people; they are far astray from the right path." (5:77)
“Therefore, woe to those who distort the scripture with their own hands, then say, "This is what God has revealed," seeking a cheap material gain. Woe to them for such distortion, and woe to them for their illicit gains.” (2:79)
Shall we have a look at some of the distortion and falsification that the Qur’an refers to?
“And to the others he said in mine hearing, Go ye after him through the city, and smite: let not your eye spare, neither have ye pity: slay utterly, old and YOUNG, both maids, and little children, and woman: but come not near any man upon whom is the mark; and begin at my sanctuary. Then they began at the ancient men which were before the house.” (Ezekiel 9:5-6)
d to the people of Israel, “The Lord has given you the city of the all silver, and gold, and vessels of brass and iron, are consecrated unto the Lord: They shall come into the treasury of the Lord. The people utterly destroyed all that was in the city, both man and woman, young and old, and ox and sheep and ass with the edge of the sword". (Joshua 6:21,23)
“And he should go and worship other God and bow down to them or to the sun or the moon or all the army of the heavens, .....and you must stone one with stones and such one must die.” Deuteronomy (17:3-5)
“Now therefore, kill every male among the little ones, and kill every woman who has known man intimately. But all the girls who have not known man intimately, spare them for yourselves.” (Numbers 31:17-18)
"And the LORD our God delivered him before us; and we smote him, and his sons, and all his people" (Deuteronomy 2:33)
k all his cities at that time, and utterly destroyed the men, and the women, and the little ones, of every city, we left none to remain". (Deuteronomy 2:34)
"Only the cattle we took for a prey unto ourselves, and the spoil of the cities which we took" (Deuteronomy 2:35)
"Now therefore go, and smite Amalec, and utterly destroy all that he hath; spare him not, nor covet any thing that is his; but slay both man and woman, child and suckling, ox and sheep, camel and ass." (Samuel 15:3)
“If a man have a stubborn and rebellious son, which will not obey the voice of his father, or the voice of his mother, and that, when they have chastened him, will not hearken unto them” (Deuteronomy 21:18)
“Then shall his father and his mother lay hold on him, and bring him out unto the elders of his city, and unto the gate of his place” (Deuteronomy 21:19)
“ And they shall say unto the elders of his city, This our son is stubborn and rebellious, he will not obey our voice; he is a glutton, and a drunkard” (Deuteronomy 21:20)
“And all the men of his city shall stone him with stones, that he die: so shalt thou put evil away from among you; and all Israel shall hear and fear" (Deuteronomy 21:21)
“As you approach a town to attack it, first offer its people terms of peace. If they accept your terms and open the gates to you, then all the people inside will serve you in force labor. But if they refuse to make peace and prepare to fight, you must attack the town. When the Lord your God hands it over to you, kill every man in the town. But you must keep for yourselves all the women, children, livestocks, and other plunder. You may enjoy the spoil of your enemies that the Lord God has given you.” (Deuteronomy 20:10-14)
“When you draw near to a city to fight against it, offer terms of peace to it. And if its answer to you is peace and it opens to you, then all the peopled who are found in it shall do forced labeor for you and shall serve you. But if it makes no peace with you, but makes war against you your hand shall put all its males to the sword, but the women and the little ones, the cattle, and everything else in the city, all its spoil you shall take as booty for yourselves.....you shall save alive nothing that breathes, but you shall utterly destroy them...” (Deuteronomy 6:10 -12)
“If there is found among you, in one of your towns that the the Lord your God is giving you, a man or woman who does what is evil in the sight of the Lord your God, and transgesses his covenant by going to serve other gods and worshipping them-whether the sun or the moon or any of the host of heaven, which I have forbidden-and if it is reported to you or you hear of it, and you make a thorough inquiry, and the charge is proved true that such an abhorent thing has occurred in Israel, then you shall bring out to your gates that man or woman who has committed this crime and you shall stone the man or woman to death." (Deuteromy 17:17)
The Book of Isaiah, Chapter 60:16
"Thou shalt also suck the milk of the Gentiles, and shalt suck the breast of kings: and thou shalt know that I the LORD am thy Saviour and thy Redeemer, the mighty One of Jacob."
"If the enemy accepts the offer of peace and commits itself to the fulfillment of the seven mitzvot that were commanded to Noah's descendants, none of them should be killed. Rather, they should be subjugated as ibid.:11 states:{slaves} 'They shall be your subjects and serve you.'
"If they agree to tribute, but do not accept subjugation or if they accept subjugation, but do not agree to tribute, their offer should not be heeded. They must accept both."
"The subjugation they must accept consists of being on a lower level, scorned and humble. They must never raise their heads against Israel, but must remain subjugated under their rule. They may never be appointed over a Jew in any matter whatsoever."
"For the nation and kingdom that will not serve thee shall perish; yea, those nations shall be utterly wasted."
"The sons also of them that afflicted thee shall come bending unto thee; and all they that despised thee shall bow themselves down at the soles of thy feet; and they shall call thee; The city of the LORD, The Zion of the Holy One of Israel."
“Soul of the nations contains no good whatsoever”
"The souls of the nations of the world, however, emanate from the other, unclean kelipot which contain no good whatever."
"When a Jew has a Gentile in his clutches, another Jew may go to the same Gentile(=non-Jew), lend him money and in turn deceive him, so that the Gentile shall be ruined. For the property of a Gentile, according to our law, belongs to no one, and the first Jew that passes has full right to seize it."
~ Schulchan Aruch, Choszen Hamiszpat 156
"That all property of other nations belongs to the Jewish nation, which consequently is entitled to seize upon it without any scruples. An orthodox Jew is not bound to observe principles of morality towards people of other tribes. He may act contrary to morality, if profitable to himself or to Jews in general. A Jew may rob a Goy (=non-Jew), he may cheat him over a bill, which should not be perceived by him, otherwise the name of God would become dishonoured
~ Schulchan Aruch, Choszen Hamiszpat, 348

What shall we call the above: genocide? ethnic cleansing? extermination? or what?
Can such cruelty, racism, malice and sadism be from God? NO... of course not.
A final message to those Christian Zionists who are infatuated with what they call "Judea-Christian values", and condemn Islam for giving permission to its followers to resist slavery, racism, occupation and oppression and to fight back when they are attacked; I would ask: What kind of Judeo-Christian values are they talking about?
My advice to them is to read again:
“And why beholdest thou the mote that is in thy brother's eye, but perceivest not the beam that is in thine own eye?”

[*] The concept of "the Divine within us" did not come from any New Age philosophy. This concept is much older than Islam itself, and is an integral part of Hinduism. What is referred to by "the Divine within us" is also something that Buddhism constantly alludes to as well. - What we need to understand, is that while Islam is a dualistic religion (as are both Christianity and Judaism), Hinduism and Buddhism (in particular) are non-dual. Far from being a dangerous or pernicious idea, the non-dual concept of "the Divine within us" is a lofty and very benign concept. We also must understand that no religion or society is well served by an insistence on concepts and their purported "correctness". Peace, Justice and Understanding, this is what really counts. In the end, however, all concepts have to go: They have to be transcended and they will be transcended, if not in life, then in death. - Editor

Nahida Izzat: "I am -Jerusalem born- Palestinian refugee living in exile for over 40 years. I was forced to leave my homeland, Palestine at the age of seven during the six-day war.
I am a mathematician by profession but art is one of my favourite pastimes, I love hand-made things, so I make dolls, cards, and most of my own clothes.
I also write poetry, and participate in dialogues with known and unknown friends as I believe that communication is the first step of understanding, I believe in building bridges not walls.
My shy nature hinders me from public speaking, so I try to compensate for my shortcomings by writing! I started writing about three years ago when my friends insisted I should write about my memories, experiences, and my feelings as a Palestinian. So I self published two books (I Believe in Miracles and Palestine, The True Story) [Biographical information: Growing Gardens for Palestine]
