Violent AntiSemitism: Jihad In America

Violent AntiSemitism: Jihad In America


     Anti-Semitism has been described as being a disease of the soul. It is a prejudice that gained particular notoriety in the 20th Century, the century of Treblinka and Auschwitz. [7]

     Could suicide bombers become a fact of life in America? It is certainly within the realm of possibility.

     Suppose that on a Sabbath, a young suicide bomber had walked into a crowded synagogue in a large American city, reached into his coat, pressed the button that detonated the bomb.
     His instructions were simple: Kill all Jews.
     Sixty Jews were killed outright. Body parts flew through the air. Several worshipers sustained injuries that would confine them to wheel chairs for the remainder of their lives. Numerous persons suffered mortal wounds from which they would later die. Chairs, other objects, and people were thrown against the walls and through the windows. Many persons lost arms or legs. Blood, pouring from the injured and the dying, pooled on the floor. Fingers, eyeballs, and flesh clung to the walls. Over one hundred sixty persons were injured.
     Body parts were collected in bags so they could be given a proper Jewish burial.
     The synagogue was severely damaged.

     The young Muslim martyr will be resurrected in the Garden of Eden where seventy-two beautiful virgins are waiting to marry him.
So he was taught.
     Islamic newspapers around the world sang the praises of the suicide bomber who had brought jihad to America, the Great Satan. Some Muslims danced in the streets.
     We should not be surprised if violent anti-semitism rears it ugly head in America.

     What manner of depraved thinking could justify such a mind-boggling attack on innocent people?

     (Kenneth R. Timmerman, in his book Preachers of Hate: Islam and the War on America, [Crown Forum, New York, 2003], Chapter 2, "Horror at Passover," describes the horrific consequences of a suicide bomber attack on March 27, 2002, in Netanya, Israel. )

     Muslim religious leaders, when speaking for public consumption in the West, describe the religion of Islam as a religion of peace, mercy, forgiveness, equality, tolerance, and justice. How does this description square with the facts?

Yasser Arafat's Educational Curricula.
     Yasser Arafat's educational curricula offered very visible evidence regarding the manner in which students were taught to hate and kill Jews from their earliest years. In his educational scheme, hate and incitement to murder were essential elements of the curriculum. The overall theme is that Israel must be totally destroyed, all Jews eradicated. Thus, in Arafat's schools, violence against Jews was not only taught to students, but his version of the Islamic religion commands that Jews and "infidels" must be wiped off the face of the earth. Jews are the enemies of the Prophets and the Believers; all Muslims are commanded to wage jihad, or holy war.
     Students are thoroughly imbued with the certainty that Islam will one day rule the world. As Jews and infidels are fighting against Allah, the founder of the one true religion, they therefore are enemies of Allah and must be eradicated from the earth by any means possible. Any lie, no matter how outrageous, can be used, and used repeatedly, to assist Muslims in their march toward world domination. [1]

     In Chapter 7, "Arafat's Reign of Terror," Timmerman describes in some detail the depraved but very effective educational curricula that is employed to produce a Palestinian who throughout his lifetime will probably be incapable of thinking outside his heritage, will never be capable of using his biased, distorted education to reason through a problem or question to a reasonable conclusion. [1]
     What type of leadership can these schools provide?

     In a private kindergarten established by the Islamic Society in Gaza, five and six year old boys are graduating. They stand on the stage, dressed in combat fatigues, carrying model M-16s or Russian-made Kalashnikovs. Suddenly, they hit the ground, weapons at the ready, ready to kill the enemy. They dip their hands in red paint, then raise their "bloody" hands to the audience.
     On the wall are images of numerous martyrs who have already paid the supreme price for Allah. Throughout their education, Palestinian students are urged to follow the example of the glorious martyrs who play important roles in the subjugation of the world to the religion of Islam. An objective appraisal of the concept of "martyrdom," in which the young are encouraged to pay the ultimate sacrifice for Allah and Islam, would suggest that a better word for "martyrdom" is "victim." Martyrdom can also be viewed as the ultimate abuse of children.
     Be that as it may, these young boys are well on their path to learning "Islamic values." They will be saturated with the belief that love in Islam means "love of jihad and resistance." [1]

     Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini [1900-1989], was a senior Shi'i Muslim cleric. He was the political leader of the 1979 Iranian Revolution. After the successful revolution, he became the country's Supreme Leader, the paramount political figure of the new Islamic Republic until his death. He is believed to have introduced suicide bombing as an international terrorist technique. If so, it is instructive to note that Khomeini himself never once suggested that he become a glorious suicide bomber to lead the way in the struggle of the Islamists to conquer the world for Islam. Apparently, the bestowal of the blessings of honor and glory upon a suicide bomber is a privilege reserved for the young. [1] [8]
     Suicide bombing must be undergirded by a fanatical religious belief.
     I truly believe that if Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini could have been viewed with X-ray vision not one drop of the milk of human kindness would be seen coursing through his veins.

Public teachings vs. private teachings in Saudi Arabia.
     What are students of Islam taught in Saudi Arabia and no doubt around the world in Saudi Arabia-financed mosques?

     The following concepts describe the manner in which students are taught to hate Jews and all "infidels" in state-supported educational classes in Saudi Arabia.
     This information from the Hudson Institute was presented in my paper [F] "Islam as Construed by Saudi Arabia." It is repeated here for convenience.

Selected quotes from the 2007 - 2008 Textbooks of the Saudi Ministry of Education:

[1] “The Jews and Christians are enemies of the believers, and they cannot approve of Muslims.”
[2] “The clash between this [Muslim] nation and the Jews and Christians has endured, and it will continue as long as God wills.”
[3] “He (praised is He) prohibits killing the soul that God has forbidden [to kill] unless for just cause . . . [such as] unbelief after belief, adultery, and killing an inviolable believer intentionally.”
[4] “Major polytheism makes blood and wealth permissible.”
[5] “Building mosques on graves is an expression of polytheism” [Condemns Shiite practice].
[6] “The punishment for homosexuality is death.” . . . “Ibn Qudamah said, ‘The companions of the Prophet were unanimous on killing, although they differed in the description, that is, in the manner of killing. Some of the companions of the Prophet stated that [a homosexual] is to be burned with fire. It has also been said that he should be stoned, or thrown from a high place. Other things have also been said.”
[7] “As cited in Ibn Abbas: The apes are Jews, the people of the Sabbath; while the swine are Christians, the infidels of the communion of Jesus.”
[8] “The decisive proof of the veracity of the Protocols [of the Elders of Zion] and the infernal Jewish plans they contain is that the plans, plots, and conspiracies they list have been carried out. Whoever reads the protocols – and they emerged in the 19th century – will realize today how much of what they described has been implemented.”
[9] “You can hardly find an example of sedition in which the Jews have not played a role.”
[10] “The new approach to the crusades took several forms, including . . . the establishment of schools. They founded many schools in the Islamic world at various educational levels. These include: the American Universities of Beirut and Cairo, the Jesuit University, Robert College in Istanbul, Gordon [Memorial] College in Khartoum, and others too numerous to mention.” [6]

     Saudi Arabia is spending billions of dollars to spread the Wahhabi version of the Islamic religion around the world. They are contributing millions of dollars for the construction of mosques in the United States which will teach Muslim students the Islamic religion beginning at a very young age.
     Wahhabism, founded by Muhammad ibn Abd-al-Wahhab, is the dominant form of the Islamic religion found in Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, and Qatar, and in some sections of Somalia, Algeria Palestine, and Mauritania. It is defined as a conservative Islamic theology.
     How conservative, I wonder?
     Based upon information in the web site of the Royal Embassy of Saudi Arabia in Washington D.C., it appears that the religion of Islam, as they describe it, is fairly progressive. [www.iad.org] But suppose the day arrives when the religion of Islam has become the dominant form of religion throughout the world. Then what happens? We might conjecture that the gate slams shut, the gloves come off, the screws are tightened, and all "infidels" have the choice to convert or perish. Would Islamic fundamentalism in its most brutal form then rule the world? [5]

     What fundamentalist Islamic laws were the laws of the land when the Taliban in Afghanistan enforced a regime that was cruel and harsh almost beyond belief?

     While in power [in Afghanistan] during the years 1995 until 2001, the Taliban implemented the "strictest interpretation of Sharia law ever seen in the Muslim world," and became notorious internationally for their treatment of women. Women were forced to wear the burqa in public. They were allowed neither to work nor to be educated after the age of eight, and until then were permitted only to study the Qur'an. Women seeking an education were forced to attend underground schools, where they and their teachers risked execution if caught. They were not allowed to be treated by male doctors unless accompanied by a female chaperon, which led to illnesses remaining untreated. They faced public flogging in the street, and public execution for violations of the Taliban's extremist laws.
     It is apparent that members of the Taliban have no intention of ceasing their efforts to enforce the law of Sharia wherever they can. [2]

     When listening to Islamic apologists it pays to be somewhat skeptical. The Islamists at the Royal Embassy of Saudi Arabia in Washington D.C. [www.iad.org] talk a good story. But beware that what they preach to Westerners and what they teach their up and coming Islamists are altogether two different horses.
     It is ironic that Americans are financing the construction of mosques in the United States and around the world. We send billions of dollars in oil money to Saudi Arabia. They use the money to build mosques in which students will be taught the strategy for subjugating Americans to the Wahhabi version of Islam. By some estimates the great majority of mosques in America are controlled by extremist factions.

Protocol of the Elders of Zion.
     The manuscript of the Protocols was brought to Russia in 1895. It was printed privately in 1895 and publicly in 1905.
     The "Protocols of the Elders of Zion," the most notorious and most successful work of modern antisemitism, draws on popular antisemitic notions which have their roots in medieval Europe from the time of the Crusades. The libels that the Jews used blood of Christian children for the Feast of Passover, poisoned the wells and spread the plague were pretexts for the wholesale destruction of Jewish communities throughout Europe. [3] [4]
[Timmerman describes the Protocols and their use around the world in Chapter 3, "They Have a Plan!" and Chapter 4 "The Elements of Hate."]

Hitler and the Protocols.
     The Protocols became a part of the Nazi propaganda effort to justify persecution of the Jews. It was made required reading for German students. In The Holocaust: The Destruction of European Jewry 1933–1945, Nora Levin states that Hitler used the Protocols as a manual in his war to exterminate the Jews: Despite conclusive proof that the Protocols were a gross forgery, they had sensational popularity and large sales in the 1920s and 1930s. They were translated into every language of Europe and sold widely in Arab lands, the United States, and England. But it was in Germany after World War I that they had their greatest success. There they were used to explain all of the disasters that had befallen the country: the defeat in the war, the hunger, the destructive inflation.
     Hitler endorsed it in his speeches from August 1921 on, and it was studied in German classrooms after Nazis came to power. At the height of World War II, the Nazi Propaganda Minister Joseph Goebbels proclaimed: "The Zionist Protocols are as up-to-date today as they were the day they were first published." [4]
[Also see Timmerman, Chapter 5, "Hitler and the Mufti."]

Saudi Arabia.
Saudi Arabian schoolbooks treat the Protocols as factual. According to textbooks: The Protocols of the Elders of Zion are secret resolutions, most probably of the aforementioned Basel congress. They were discovered in the nineteenth century. The Jews tried to deny them, but there was ample evidence proving their authenticity and that they were issued by the elders of Zion.

The Protocols can be summarized in the following points:
1. Upsetting the foundations of the world's present society and its systems, in order to enable Zionism to have a monopoly of world government.
2. Eliminating nationalities and religions, especially the Christian nations.
3. Striving to increase corruption among the present regimes in Europe, as Zionism believes in their corruption and [eventual] collapse.
4. Controlling the media of publication, propaganda and the press, using gold for stirring up disturbances, seducing people by means of lust and spreading wantonness. [4]

     The cogent proof of the authenticity of these resolutions, as well as of the hellish Jewish schemes included therein, is the [actual] carrying out of many of those schemes, intrigues and conspiracies that are found in them. Anyone who reads them — and they were published in the nineteenth century — grasps today to what extent much of what is found there has been realized.
     According to Freedom House 2006 report, Saudi textbook for boys for Tenth Grade on Hadith and Islamic Culture contains a lesson on the Zionist Movement. It is a curious blend of wild conspiracy theories about Masonic Lodges, Rotary Clubs, and Lions Clubs with antisemitic invective. It asserts that the Protocols of the Elders of Zion is an authentic document and teaches students that it reveals what Jews really believe. It blames many of the world’s wars and discord on the Jews. [4]

According to Daniel Pipes, "The great importance of the Protocols lies in its permitting antisemites to reach beyond their traditional circles and find a large international audience, a process that continues to this day. The forgery poisoned public life wherever it appeared; it was "self-generating; a blueprint that migrated from one conspiracy to another." The book's vagueness — almost no names, dates, or issues are specified — has been one key to this wide-ranging success. The purportedly Jewish authorship also helps to make the book more convincing. Its embrace of contradiction — that to advance, Jews use all tools available, including capitalism and communism, philo-Semitism and antisemitism, democracy and tyranny — made it possible for the Protocols to reach out to all: rich and poor, Right and Left, Christian and Muslim, American and Japanese."
     Pipes notes that the Protocols emphasizes recurring themes of conspiratorial antisemitism: "Jews always scheme", "Jews are everywhere", "Jews are behind every institution", "Jews obey a central authority, the shadowy 'Elders'", and "Jews are close to success." [4]

United States.
     In the United States the Protocols have had a tumultuous history ever since luminaries such as automobile mogul Henry Ford began publishing them. In 1920, in his small newspaper in Dearborn, Michigan, The Dearborn Independent, Ford began publishing a series of articles entitled "The International Jew: The World's Foremost Problem." Through a combination of influence, power, and ignorance, he was able to unleash the largest and most damaging campaign against Jews ever waged in the United States.
     The articles were later gathered into book form and published under the title The International Jew: The World's Foremost Problem. The book was translated into 16 languages, and was to have a profound influence upon the growing Nazi movement in Germany. [4] [7]
     The Protocols were republished as fact in 1991 in Milton William Cooper's conspiracy book Behold a Pale Horse, though Cooper himself holds the Illuminati and not the Jews at fault. [4]
     The American retail chain, Wal-Mart, was criticized for selling The Protocols of the Elders of Zion on its website with a description that suggested it might be genuine. It was withdrawn from sale in September 2004, as 'a business decision.' [4]
     It is distributed in the United States by Louis Farrakhan's Nation of Islam. [4]

     Said Rabbi Marvin Hier of the Simon Wiesenthal Center: In the Islamic world, "Lecturers at universities, doctors, businessman, engineers, have come to regard the infamous "Protocols of the Elders of Zion" as a holy work of truth, rather than as a slanderous fiction used historically to malign Jewish integrity and threaten Jewish lives."
[Timmerman, page 56. See his book beginning at page 46 for a description of how the fictitious Protocols are treated as the gospel truth in the Islamic world.]

     In the wake of the rising of antisemitism around the world the Protocols of the Elders of Zion is experiencing a resurgence in popularity.
     If the lowly skulking hyena should suddenly be endowed with understanding, he would gaze with disdain at the hordes of morally defunct mortals.

     How far the rulers of Saudi Arabia and other mid-east countries can progress in their desire to spread the religion of Islam around the world before the beginning of the End Times Events we do not know. We do know that the Islamic religion will not survive beyond the soul-searing events of the End Times. Therefore, the problems discussed above are somewhat rhetorical. Muslims will not prevail in their quest for world dominance.
     In the meantime, before the Years of Tribulation begin, Westerners must contend with the Islamic religion.
