Islam tries desperately to explain how Israel is destroying Islamic terrorist armies


Islam had to come up with an excuse for the spectacular success Israel has had against Hamas and Hezbollah in the past year. Rather than recognizing that Allah doesn't exist and Jesus does, they have concluded that rogue 'jinns' are to blame. While Allah created jinns, it is obvious that he is not capable of controlling them since they seem to do more harm than good even to Muslims.

Jinns actually do exist although in Christendom they are called 'demons'. Demons are the enemy of Christians and Jews and therefore do not help them in any way. Blaming Nasrallah's death on jinns just reveals how desperate Muslims are to explain the complete failure of Allah in destroying the Jews.



Iranian Muslim cleric says Israelis had supernatural help to kill Hezbollah’s Nasrallah

By Robert Spencer, Frontpage Magazine

The Israelis have astounded the world in recent weeks with several unparalleled feats of wartime ingenuity, most notably the explosion of thousands of pagers that belonged to high-level Hezbollah operatives.

Topping even that was the elimination of arch-terrorist and media darling Hassan Nasrallah of Hezbollah, who had been in hiding for nearly two decades and was in a bunker sixty feet underground when the Israelis found a way to take him out.

One Muslim cleric in Iran, however, is certain that the Israelis’ success can’t be ascribed to their ingenuity; he thinks they had some help. Help, that is, of the supernatural variety.

Mostafa Karami, who teaches at a Shi’ite Muslim seminary in Iran, said on Sunday that the Israelis were able to kill Nasrallah not by the power of any human agency, but only with the aid of jinn, who are better known in the West as genies.

Karami didn’t say whether or not the Israelis employed the services of Barbara Eden of “I Dream of Jeannie” for this operation, but as Ms. Eden is now 93 years old, she is unlikely to have participated.

Karami also remained mum about whether or not the Israelis have a secret laboratory full of bottles, from which they summon their trained jinn whenever they need them to carry out special ops.

The jinn, according to the Qur’an, are spirit beings that Allah created from “smokeless fire” (55:15).

They can be dangerous; the Qur’an says that some of them even try to turn prophets away from their mission: “In this way we have appointed an adversary to every prophet, satans of mankind and jinn who inspire in one another plausible discourse through guile.” (6:112)

The “assembly of the jinn” has “seduced many among mankind.” (6:128)

The twentieth-century Islamic scholar Muhammad ibn al-Uthaymeen states a standard Muslim view when he asserts that while human beings cannot see jinn, “undoubtedly the jinn can have a harmful effect on humans, and they could even kill them.”

Hmmm. Did the jinns not only lead the Israelis to Nasrallah but do him in themselves?

Al-Uthaymeen adds that the jinn “may harm a person by throwing stones at him, or by trying to terrify him, and other things that are proven in the sunnah (prophetic teachings) or indicated by real events… There are numerous reports which indicate that a man may come to a deserted area, and a stone may be thrown at him, but he does not see anybody, or he may hear voices or a rustling sound like the rustling of trees, and other things that may make him feel distressed and scared. A jinn may also enter the body of a human, either because of love or with the intention of harming him, or for some other reason.”

Were Hassan Nasrallah’s last moments filled with that kind of jinn-inspired confusion and terror? We may never know.

Karami, however, sees it as a possibility. He states, “Considering the Zionists’ history of subjugating genies, they carry out many of their missions through this means, and demons are their secret army.”

Now there is a history book I have never read. Islam blames acts of God on jinns because they can't conceive of Jews have the real God Almighty on their side. But they do.


Hassan Nasrallah is by no means the first victim of these Zionist jinn:

“They [the Jews] have had access to genies and cosmic science since the time of David and Solomon. Historically, they have always used genies, their documents and traditions proved that. They have used genies and demons for warfare and intelligence operations throughout history.”

Well, that certainly does explain the stunning against-all-odds Israeli victories in 1948, 1967, and 1973. Is Karami serious? There is no reason to believe that he isn’t.

In “The Caliph’s House,” the Afghan-English writer Tahir Shah’s marvelous account of his adventures moving his family to Morocco and buying and refurbishing a home in Casablanca, Shah is repeatedly amazed by the belief of the locals, including Westernized Moroccans whom he believes to be sophisticated, in the existence of jinn.

The mischievous spirit beings are constantly interfering in the most mundane human affairs, repeatedly frustrating Shah’s attempts to renovate his new home. The Moroccans’ invariable reply to Shah’s astonished inquiries about whether they really believe in jinn is “It’s in the Qur’an.”

There you have it. In the Qur’an, it isn’t just the jinn who stand as adversaries to the Muslims. The Jews are described as “the most vehement of mankind in hostility to those who believe” (5:82). So why shouldn’t these two great enemies of the believers join forces?

Satanic Reversals > Florida Imam accuses Jews of the very things Muslims do

 

Florida: Imam says Jews are ‘like Satan,’

‘they conceal the truth. And they conceal knowledge.’

“Those to whom we gave the book recognize this as they recognize their sons. But indeed, a party of them knowingly conceals the truth.” (Qur’an 2:146)

“Some of those who are Jews change words from their context and say, We hear and disobey, hear as one who does not hear, and Listen to us, distorting with their tongues and slandering religion. If they had said, We hear and we obey, hear and look at us, it would have been better for them, and more upright. But Allah has cursed them for their disbelief, so they do not believe, except for a few.” (Qur’an 4:46)

“Orlando, Florida Friday Sermon By Sheikh Abu Usama At-Thahabi: 

The Jews Resemble Satan, They Trick And Deceive You;

Jews Are Poisoning Our Community, Are Slumlords;

I Make Supplications Against Them Every Day,” 


You can make supplications 10 times a day for all the good it will do, no one is listening to you except the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. And He knows you accuse Jews of the very things that you are guilty of. 

Godly Jews 'do not lie'! It is the ninth Commandment from God. Mohammed has given Muslims permission to lie, and, indeed, encourages them to. Who is the Father of Lies?

I admit that godless Jews can be terrible people and deserve great criticism. They are an embarrasment to God and fellow Jews. But most Jews are not godless. 

MEMRI, June 21, 2024:

Sheikh Abu Usama At-Thahabi said in a June 21, 2024 lecture at Masjid As-Sunnah in Orlando, FL that among the characteristics of the Jews is that they hide the truth and conceal knowledge, and that they are tricky and deceptive. Mimicking how Jews supposedly act deceptively, he said that they look like Satan, that he is not willing to be taken advantage of by a group of people who he makes supplications against every day, and that the Jews’ holy book permits them to sell bad meat and poison to gentiles. In addition, he said that African-Americans who grew up in the ghetto know that the Jews are the slumlords, that the Zionists are the worst, and that the Jews believe they are God’s Chosen People and can therefore do whatever they want. The lecture was livestreamed on Masjid As-Sunnah’s YouTube channel.

Abu Usama At-Thahabi is a U.S.-born imam who used to serve as the imam of the Green Lane Masjid in Birmingham, England. He has recently returned to the United States.

Abu Usama At-Thahabi: “Those Jews – they hide the truth. They conceal the truth. And they conceal knowledge. That’s how they are. That’s what I see when I meet these people.

They conceal knowledge? There are only several million Jews in the world while there are nearly 2 billion Muslims. 15 Muslims have won Nobel prizes; 214 Jews have won Nobel prizes. This should reflect on whether Muslims can understand the wisdom of the Jews. 

[…]

“They’re always changing the words from their right place. They tell you one thing and they mean another thing.

[…]

“Yeah, they deceive you. They trick you. They trick you. ‘Hey, come here and drink from this water right here.’ And he’s looking at you, like Satan, with this… ‘Come drink from this water…’ And you guys are laughing… I’m telling you, man! And you drink like, ‘Oh, it’s so cold, it’s got ice-cold in it, we’re brothers in religion, we’re brothers in humanity, mashallah!’

“Brothers in humanity… And you drink that water, and there you go. You check out. That’s the Jews to me. And the Zionists are worst.

[…]

“You can be collectively sleeping on these characteristics, but I’m not sleeping on them.

[…]

“I’m not trying to get taken advantage of by anybody, especially – especially – by a group of people who I make supplications against every single day.

[…]

“They look down on us.

[…]

“Gentiles, gentiles. That’s in their book.

[…]

“You stand with the Jews? With all that they’re doing to us in our community and to you directly?

[…]

“Their book says you can sell the dead carcass – carrion meat – to the gentile, but you can’t sell it to the Jew! They’re giving us poison in our community. Ask anybody African-American who grew up in the ghetto like myself! They’re the slumlords!

[…]

“They believe that they’re Allah’s Chosen People and that they can do whatever the hell they want to do.”

Isn't that what Muslims believe? It's certainly the way they act.

Do you think Muslims will be able to lie like this when Jesus returns?

First, Biden, then NYC spits in the face of God > What blasphemy, and what Judgment to come?

 

First, Biden tempts God by trumping Easter with Trans Day, now NYC insults Him by declaring the non-existent Allah as Lord of the World. How long, Oh, Lord, will you tolerate such blasphemy?

When you declare someone other than God the Father, or Jesus Christ, as Lord, you are declaring that They are not Lord. You are then in danger of Him removing His hand of protection and leaving you to your own means. I suspect we will soon find out the consequences of that.


New York City Council opens meeting praising Allah as supreme Lord of the world

Celebrate “diversity,” which means that only communism and Islamic supremacism prevail. Such is the state of America under Joe Biden.


Who would have thought, nearly two and a half decades after 9/11, that the New York City Council would be brought to this level of dhimmitude? Imam Abdoulazakou Traore of the Darou Salam Islamic Community Inc. led the Council in prayer beginning with Al-Fatiha, the first chapter of the Qur’an and most common prayer in Islam. The Fatiha is recited seventeen times a day by the pious, and not only praises Allah as “Lord of the world,” but demonizes Jews as those who have earned Allah’s anger, and Christians as those who have gone astray.

Recall the words of 9/11 mastermind Khalid Sheik Mohammed:

We will win because Americans don’t realize…we do not need to defeat you militarily; we only need to fight long enough for you to defeat yourself by quitting….large-scale attacks such as 9/11 were “nice, but not necessary….jihadi-minded brothers would immigrate into the United States” and “wrap themselves in America’s rights and laws” until they were strong enough to rise up and attack us.

It’s progressing, as KSM predicted, under wokeism, and with the further help of wide-open borders, all while the New York City Council hails Allah as “as Lord of the world.”

Three Christian women arrested without charges to go on trial in Iran


AsiaNews, July 1, 2023


Tehran (AsiaNews)Three Iranian women converts to Christianity will appear in court tomorrow on unknown charges, this according to Article 18, an NGO dedicated to religious freedom in Iran and advocating on behalf of its religious minorities, especially Christians.

Arrested last month, the three women were held incommunicado in Tehran’s Evin prison for 40 days. Indicting people without formal charges is not unusual in Iran, nor is taking Christians into custody only for meeting in private homes to pray.

Officers with the Iranian Ministry of Intelligence arrested Shilan Oraminejad, Razieh (Maral) Kohzady and Zahra (Yalda) Heidary at their respective homes in the early morning on 9 May.

Claiming to have search warrants, agents seized personal effects, including mobile phones, laptops, books and pamphlets “without giving any explanation,” Mehr Ministries report.

The three Christian women were taken to an unknown location. After 40 days incommunicado, they were able to call their families to tell them that they were in Evin prison, but were denied, again without explanation, legal counsel.

After meeting the women, relatives said that “they were not in a good physical condition,” Hamid Hatami, president of Mehr Ministries, told Voice of America Farsi. Since then, Shilan and Zahra have been released on bail pending trial, while Maral remains in custody, he added….




Islamic Republic of Iran: Three Christian women arrested without charges to go on trial


JUL 3, 2023 3:00 PM BY ROBERT SPENCER

These converts are getting off easy: Shi’ite Islam, like Sunni Islam, prescribes the death penalty for apostasy:

Shaykh al-Kulayni narrates a sahíh (correct) hadith from `Ammãr as-Sãbãti who said: I heard (Imam) Abu `Abdullãh (as-Sãdiq) (a.s.) saying, “A Muslim from among the Muslims who renounces Islam and rejects the prophethood of Muhammad and considers him untrue, then verily his blood is lawful (mubãh) for anyone who hears that from him, his wife is to be separated from him the day he became murtad, his wealth will be divided among his heirs, and his wife will observe the `idda of a widow (i.e., four months). The Imam is obliged to kill him, and not ask him to seek forgiveness.” (Furu al-Kãfi, vol. 7, p. 257)




Persecuted Christians await fate in Libya limbo


by Katey Hearth, MNN, June 23, 2023:

Libya (MNN) Six believers in Libya could soon face the death penalty for sharing their faith.

The group was detained in March as part of a wider crackdown on Christ-followers in Tripoli. Two American missionaries were arrested and deported during the same period.

One of the six believers published a video explaining how she came to Jesus when she was 15 years old.

“The six believers thought maybe they have like freedom now, they can share their faith, and right away, they [were caught] by the security there.” Riadh Jabballah with Voice of the Martyrs Canada says.

Libya’s constitution guarantees religious freedom to non-Muslims. However, it also defines Islam as the state religion. There are no anti-conversion laws per se, but the Constitution’s loose wording provides space for persecution. 

“Libya is a fully Islamic country,” Jabballah says.

“Libyan Christians are particularly vulnerable to persecution, especially those from a Muslim background.”

The six Libyan Christians are still waiting for a court date. “We don’t know exactly what [will] happen to them. Maybe they’ll kill them; nobody knows, so we pray for them,” Jabballah says….



‘Libyan Christians are particularly vulnerable to persecution, especially those

from a Muslim background’

JUL 3, 2023 4:00 PM BY ROBERT SPENCER

The death penalty for apostasy is part of Islamic law. It’s based on the Qur’an: “They wish you would disbelieve as they disbelieved so you would be alike. So do not take from among them allies until they emigrate for the cause of Allah. But if they turn away, then seize them and kill them wherever you find them and take not from among them any ally or helper.” (Qur’an 4:89)

A hadith depicts Muhammad saying: “Whoever changed his Islamic religion, then kill him” (Bukhari 9.84.57). The death penalty for apostasy is part of Islamic law according to all the schools of Islamic jurisprudence.

This is still the position of all the schools of Islamic jurisprudence, both Sunni and Shi’ite. Sheikh Yusuf al-Qaradawi, the most renowned and prominent Muslim cleric in the world, has stated: “The Muslim jurists are unanimous that apostates must be punished, yet they differ as to determining the kind of punishment to be inflicted upon them. The majority of them, including the four main schools of jurisprudence (Hanafi, Maliki, Shafi’i, and Hanbali) as well as the other four schools of jurisprudence (the four Shiite schools of Az-Zaidiyyah, Al-Ithna-‘ashriyyah, Al-Ja’fariyyah, and Az-Zaheriyyah) agree that apostates must be executed.”

Qaradawi also once famously said: “If they had gotten rid of the apostasy punishment, Islam wouldn’t exist today.”

Meanwhile, Islamic law stipulates that the “contract of protection” is ended and a non-Muslim’s life is forfeit if he “leads a Muslim away from Islam”(Reliance of the Traveller 011.10).




Muslim in Pakistan Confesses to Killing Christian Woman


by Emmanuel Adil Ghouri, Morning Star News, July 3, 2023:

LAHORE, Pakistan (Morning Star News)A Christian family in Lahore, Pakistan is seeking justice and protection after four Muslims abducted, gang-raped and killed a widow for refusing to convert to Islam and marry the primary suspect, sources said.

In the killing of 40-year-old Shazia Imran last month, the assailants slashed her neck and doused her with acid, her brother said, though it was not known if the acid burns came before or after her death. The primary suspect has confessed to the killing, according to police.
Shazia Imran’s husband also was killed a year and a half ago, and the family has seen no justice in that case either as police cast it as an accident, said her brother, Zafar Masih.

Shazia Masih, who began working as a nanny at a daycare center at the Lahore University of Management Sciences after her husband’s death, left her rented home in Lahore’s Mehar Town for work on June 6 but did not return, Zafar Masih said. He said that the primary suspect, Noman (known as Mani) Gujjar, was a notorious area criminal and had been pressuring her to convert to Islam along with her children and marry him.

“Shazia did not share this with us due to fears for our security, but three days before her abduction, she told [another relative] that Gujjar had threatened to kill her if she did not surrender to his demand,” Zafar Masih told Morning Star News.

After Shazia Masih’s oldest son, 16, informed Zafar Masih that she had not returned home, he and other relatives began searching for her. Unable to find her, they informed police of her disappearance on June 7.

“Later in the day we received a call from the Hyer police station that they had found a body from a plot that matched Shazia’s description,” Zafar Masih said. “We immediately went to the police station, but when we saw the body, we could not believe our eyes. Shazia’s jugular vein had been slit with a sharp object, and her body had been badly burnt by acid.”….

Pakistan: Muslim murders Christian widow on her way home from work

for refusing to convert to Islam


JUL 4, 2023 11:00 AM BY CHRISTINE DOUGLASS-WILLIAMS

In yet another incident in Pakistan of a Christian woman murdered for refusing to convert to Islam and marry a Muslim man. The torture of Shazia Imran was particularly brutal as the primary suspect got three other Muslims to join him in gang-raping Shazia and slashing her throat — as the Qur’an directs to be done to infidels (Qur’an 47:4) — and then dousing her with acid. Yet Westerners continue to go along with the “Islamophobia” canard.

“Then, when the sacred months have passed, kill the idolaters wherever you find them, and take them, and besiege them, and prepare for them every ambush. But if they repent and establish prayer and give alms, then leave their way free. Indeed, Allah is forgiving, merciful.” (Qur’an 9:5).

Islamic State Claims Responsibility for Russia Church Shooting

Chechnya's Kadyrov in denial of reality

By Sara Shayanian

UPI -- The Islamic State terror group claimed responsibility Monday for an attack that killed five at a church in the Dagestan region of Russia.

Authorities said the gunman was Khalil Khalilov and that he was a member of an IS sleeper cell.

Five people were killed in the shooting Sunday as worshipers left a traditional pre-Lent celebration in the city of Kizlyar, capital of the Republic of Dagestan.

"An unidentified bearded man ran toward the church yelling 'Allah Akba,'" Father Pavel, dean of the church, told RBC.

"When we heard the shots, we quickly closed the doors so that he couldn't get inside. He had a gun and a knife."

Several others were injured in the attack. The gunman was shot dead by police.

RBC reported that Khalilov, 22, joined the Islamic State last year and intended to target the attack on the Christian holiday.

Head of Chechnya Ramzan Kadyrov, though, disputed the shooter's Islamic ties.

"One can say with certainty that the bandit and his patrons, in case he had any, do not have any direct or indirect connection to Islam," Kadyrov wrote on Telegram.

"The North Caucasus has always been a region of close cooperation and mutual understanding between Muslims and Christians. So today, it is our duty to deter assaults on our heritage that instigators and Russia's enemies may make."

Obviously, if shouting Allah Akba means he wasn't an Islamic adherent, I wonder what it does mean? Are there other religions that worship Allah?
