"If the Jews left Palestine to us, would
we start loving them? Of course not. The Jews are infidels not because I say so
but because Allah does... They aren't our enemies because they occupy
Palestine; they would be our enemies even if they had not occupied anything."
— Muhammad Hussein Ya'qub, Egyptian cleric.
Muslim extremists trust that time is in their
side, in part because they are on the threshold of acquiring nuclear weapons.
Once Iran and other Muslim countries have this capability, they will have the
military means to blackmail their oil-rich neighbors, destroy Israel and
threaten Europe.
What makes negotiations with Iran, ISIS, Hamas
or any other Islamist group impossible is that their leaders believe they are
acting according to the immutable word of God. America, Israel, other Muslims
with whom they disagree, cannot do anything to satisfy them except
"submit" (the Arabic word "Islam" means
"submission"). As Egyptian cleric Muhammad Hussein Ya'qub said in a televised sermon in 2009, "If the Jews left Palestine
to us, would we start loving them? Of course not. The Jews are infidels not
because I say so but because Allah does... They aren't our enemies because they
occupy Palestine; they would be our enemies even if they had not occupied
anything."
Hamas, Hezbollah, Islamic Jihad and other
terror groups do not conceal their intentions. The Hamas covenant explicitly calls for Israel's destruction
and does not distinguish between Israelis and Jews:
Our struggle against the Jews is very great and
very serious... It strives to raise the banner of Allah over every inch of
Palestine... It is one of the links in the chain of the struggle against the
Zionist invaders...
The Prophet, Allah bless him and grant him
salvation, has said: "The Day of Judgment will not come about until
Muslims fight the Jews (killing the Jews), when the Jew will hide behind stones
and trees. The stones and trees will say, 'O Muslims, O Abdulla, there is a Jew
behind me, come and kill him'".... There is no solution for the Palestine
question except through Jihad. Initiatives, proposals and international
conferences are all a waste of time and vain endeavors. Palestine is an Islamic
land.
Regrettably, this is why "solving the
conflict with the Palestinians," or even recognizing a Palestinian State,
will not bring peace and tranquility to the Middle East.
The radical Islamic focus on Israel serves as
an easy rallying point for the masses in the Middle East and Europe; however,
the goal of jihad for many Muslims extends beyond eliminating or subjugating
Israeli Jews. According to caliph 'Umar ibn al-Khattab, any land previously
occupied by Muslims cannot be surrendered. No single Arab regime -- or number
of regimes acting together -- has the right to break this trust and give up any
of this land, whether in Israel or Spain (Al-Andalus). Reconquering the lands
is considered a solemn religious duty, but the obligation does not stop there;
as an ISIS recruiter told Der Spiegel, the Koran says that one
should kill or expel unbelievers wherever one finds them.
The Islamists are in no hurry to fulfill their
goals. An Arab adage says, "A man who gains his revenge after 40 years is
acting in haste." Ahmed Yousef, political adviser to then Palestinian
Prime Minister Ismail Haniyeh of Hamas, said it all in the title of his book,
"The End of the Jewish State: Just a Matter of Time."
Muslim extremists trust that time is on their
side, in part because they are on the threshold of acquiring nuclear weapons.
Once Iran and other Muslim countries likely to follow its example have this
capability, they will have the military means to blackmail their oil-rich
neighbors, destroy Israel, and threaten Europe. Perhaps then the West will
realize it is in a religious war.
