The Temple Mount - A Muslim View

Excerpted and translated (via Google Translate) from Al-Bawaba, written by one Suffian Shawa:-

Israel will not demolish Al-Aqsa Mosque but will build the Temple in Jerusalem ..?     December 15, 2017 (also here and note the photomontaged picture with a Haredi Jew and also here)

Al Quds Al Sharif [Odd. Not Ah-Haram Al-Sharif?] is one of the holiest places in the world. It is a light that shines in the night and in the day. It is the heavenly melody, which is raised by the angels and the birds sing it until the people of the earth hear it. It increases their faith and increases their determination to hold on to it and not to give up any part of it. Upon one's arrival at the high gates of the holy city of Jerusalem, his sins are washed away and strengthened in the presence of the Lord, which is sacred to all the owners of the three heavenly religions.
The Jews occupied Palestine with the help of England as a national homeland for the Jews, aided by British colonialism, and in particular by the British Foreign Secretary, Sir Balfour, in 1907 (sic!), where he issued the ominous promise. Then the Jews emigrated to Palestine (!) and established the small colonies first and then established the State of Israel in 1948 and occupied part of Jerusalem and then completed their occupation of Jerusalem in 1967


...Of course, the recognition of Trump is contrary to international law and to Security Council resolutions. It is not an American city to be given to whoever it wants. It is a Palestinian Arab city built by the Canaanites in 5000 BC. There is no right for the Jews at all.


Trump's decision goes back to the religious dimension of the Christian and Evangelical Christians who believe that the establishment of Israel and the rebuilding of Solomon's temple represent the foundation for Christ's return. They agree with the Jews in this difference with the Jews believing in the Messiah on condition that he be among the children of Israel.


What is important in this article is that Israel, according to the beliefs of their rabbis, who brought it from the tributaries of history, believe in a superstitious belief that Solomon's Temple was built by King Solomon to be a temple for the Jews and a dwelling place for the Lord Yahweh, who believes in the Jews after he is tired of dwelling above the clouds. (as if the Al-Buraq winged creature was real) They also claim that the Holy Mosque was built on the ruins of the Temple of Solomon, which was built in Jerusalem or Jerusalem, and that they insist on rebuilding the third Temple. 


Under the auspices of the Holy Mosque, the Holy Mosque, the Holy Mosque in the Koran and honest conversations in the Hadith of the Prophet (peace be upon him) the Mosque of the Holy Mosque in Mecca, God ordered our master Adam built it and the second is the Al-Aqsa Mosque in Jerusalem (!)...before any other building, whether Solomon's temple or other.

...The Qur'an states: "It is darker than those who forbid the mosques of Allah to mention His name and seek their destruction. . Al-Baqarah. This is a strict prohibition in preventing the demolition of mosques. Those who seek to destroy it are sinning against Allaah in this world and in the Hereafter it is a great punishment. This applies to Al-Aqsa Mosque in Al-Quds Al-Sharif especially since it is a holy mosque. Jerusalem.

...[Solomon] said: "In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious the Most Merciful. We spent the Book to the Children of Israel, to be scattered twice in the land, and to proclaim a great height. If the promise of the first came, we sent upon you." We have sent you the ball over them, and we have given you money and children, and we have made you more obnoxious. You have done well for yourselves, and if you have come to them, then the promise of the others comes to you, and to enter the mosque as they entered or once, And the interpretation of these verses as interpreted by Imam Al-Shaarawi Hama...

...Since we have chanted the ball to them, that is, God has returned the ball to the children of Israel and given them money. Now they are the owners of the sons and daughters of Russia and others. They are all in the army. We made you more obnoxious and alienation means begging the power of others. This is what Israel is doing with America. And Russia. If the promised promise is the time that the Lord has left open to the Muslims to return to the worshipers of God loyal to him religion then they will defeat the children of Israel and they will drag their faces in the dirt and then enter the Aqsa Mosque and entered the first time of the Amir of believers Omar bin Khattab .. And this is the word of God, and it shall not be revealed For him, Al-Aqsa Mosque will remain without demolition, God willing, because the Muslims will enter it as they entered it for the first time.

Anti-Semitism.

Historical mythology.

Radical political theology.

Anti-scientific.

You tell me how to make peace based on compromise with this outlook.

It's mainstream thinking.

Even 'moderate' Daoub Kuttab is published there.

We're Now "Rampaging"

Normally, Islamic new reports use either "storming" or "breaking in" as the verbs used to describe the entrance of Jews who openly declare their reverence for the Temple Mount as the site of the previous two Temples and other occurrences, like revolts against Rome, the re-dedication of the altar which forms the basis of the Hanukkah holiday and other events in Jewish history.

The Jews seem to engage in "Talmudic rituals" while encircling the site, a blatantly anti-Semitic term.

This site, based in Qom, Iran, ratchet ups the semantic violence here

Oddly, the site serves as the voice of a group that writes of itself:

The followers of Ahlolbayt (as) and their holy Imams alike have been oppressed throughout the history from the dark era of Umayyad caliphs up to the age of Abbasids, and from Abbasids to middle ages, and afterward up to the present time. The roots of this oppression and even its further intensification may be sought in the ignorance of Shiite Muslims about each other and unawareness of global communities of such oppressions against Shiites...In the Islamic Republic of Iran, too, despite existence of many news agencies, newspapers and websites, there was always a tangible necessity for a specialized news agency to work specifically for broadcasting the news of Shiah world and followers of Ahlolbayt worldwide...

In 2011, Saudi Arabia banned it (in Persian). 

P.S.

From EOZ:

a particularly challenging encounter at the Temple Mount in Jerusalem. To enter the Dome of the Rock, my ex-husband was asked to perform ablutions (the ritual of washing before prayers), apparently to prove he was not a Jew. According to one of the guards, this was a necessary ritual because “Jews occasionally want to break into the sacred site.”

I Tweet Linda Sarsour

Here is Linda Sarsour's tweet from last night:

Sending love to my Jewish siblings. I know watching Charlottesville & the anti-semitism on display was horrifying. We r in this together.

And my counter-tweet:

And Palestinian anti-Semitism and that of American Imams?

On the anti-Semitism from official Palestinian Authority sources. 

Not to mention the father of "Palestinian nationalism", the Mufti.

On my Imam reference.

I had uploaded Arab caricatures and cartoons with anti-Semitic themes earlier this year.

Another now:

Arabs Anti-Semitic?

EOZ caught this op-ed in Arabic:

The Mind-Terror of the Jews

 
And terms it anti-Semitic.

Is it?


With the help of Google Translate, I have excerpts of it so:-

...Jewish Freemason...in a Jewish book were written the signals and signs and texts that clearly describe the case of the Arab countries and what may happen where the strife and unrest and revolutions are planned by the Jews themselves...instructing the rulers and then their opponents by creating an atmosphere of chaos and create an atmosphere of explosions revolutionary cause havoc and destruction from then across the whole homelands...

So, we are guilty for the predicament of the Arabs these past three years of Spring.

 
The writer depends on "intellectuals and researchers familiar with the texts of the Jewish Talmud/Torah" to know that

Jews are the natural legitimate enemy of the Muslims studying the conditions of the Arabs by the Prophet...Based on this what is found in various books of prophecies and events are only normal expectations with all these intrigues and conspiracies and try to control and acquisition of the mentality of the Arab rulers of the weak money sometimes and other times pleasures...

Their personal failings are the fault of the Jews.  We work "to undermine and destroy the Nation of Islam.".



And we are evil:
 

...Jews in all their plots malevolently spread chaos and destabilize security in the Arab countries...[to subvert]  the establishment of an Islamic caliphate...[when Muslims]  are the victors in the end...the hype is frightening as to the role of Jews in the affairs of our lives and our destinies...[in accordance with] rare books to describe the fingers of the dirty Jews dirty how to play chess [and the pieces are Arabs] and how to move dolls (which are the Arabs as well) and how we heedless actually control our fate minds Jews spiteful necrosis.

...If this is psychological warfare with all these plots and know-how, we do not blame the inhibitory and fearful voices but we curse those pens promising endless power to Jews...

Of course it's anti-Semitic.

And think: if we had one-tenth of the oil profits the Arabs collect, we'd really be powerful and influential.

When All Is Said and Done

John Meeks of the Lutheran School of Theology at Chicago had been doing research on Nietzsche and productive (kataphatic) discourse and taught religion at De La Salle Institute when he decided to publish an article on Edward ("stone-thrower") Said.

I found these two extracts worthy of attention:

... in Said’s hands the experience of being a Palestinian, of the irrecoverable [really?  well, that is good news] loss of “home” and homeland and of the atrocities [??? exactly which ones?] that have been passed over in silence by “the news” [are you kidding?] never translate into the ressentiment of an exclusive nationalism based on religion or ethnicity.

For the record, ressentiment is

a sense of hostility directed at that which one identifies as the cause of one's frustration, assigning blame for one's frustration. The sense of weakness or inferiority and perhaps jealousy in the face of the "cause" generates a rejecting/justifying... a morality which attacks or denies the perceived source of one's frustration. The ego creates an enemy in order to insulate itself from culpability.

But that is exactly what the Arabs of the former Mandate for Palestine territory have done and continue to do.  Theirs is a refined "victimhood" phenomenom.

Meeks continues -

Living as a Palestinian exile made it necessary for Said to exist, as he says, “between worlds” without succumbing to an Orwellian “tourism among the dogs.” [dogs??]...in the work of Edward Said lines of interaction are always brought to the forefront [like his PLO membership]. As an exile, Edward Said claimed to have existed between many worlds. For him this was not a source of tragedy but an opportunity for a truly cosmopolitan future. One vision of this future may be culled from the remembrance of Said by Daniel Barenbaim: addressing a room of music students (Arabs, Germans, and Israelis), Said reminded them of Weimar, city of Goethe and Buchenwald and “did so in a way that did not offend the Israelis, did not distribute collective guilt to the Germans and made the Arabs see the necessity of understanding that period in Jewish history.” He brought the very heterogeneous history of Weimar to students in a manner that justified neither guilt nor victimization but in a manner, as in all of his writing, that makes solidarity among divergent peoples possible. This, finally, is Edward Said’s poesis.

Oh how they fool themselves these academics.

P.S.

Excerpted this from an article just sent to me by Richard Landes:

Edward Said’s masterpiece of cognitive warfare forbidding Westerners from othering Muslims.

Who Said That About Muslim Denial of the Holocaust?

Do you know who said this?

Earlier today we were at the US Holocaust Memorial Museum. We viewed the important exhibit there of the Protocols of the Elders of Zion, the 19th century forgery that claims the Jews are conspiring to take over the world. The Protocols are still being taught in several countries; one of the imams on the trip had been taught it is truth. We have all discussed how devastatingly harmful the Protocols have been and we plan to address that at a national meeting of the Islamic Society of North American (ISNA).

Muslims, immams (!), being taught that the Protocols of the Elders of Zion are true? In the 21st century?

That was Hannah Rosenthal.

Hannah is United States Special Envoy to Monitor and Combat Anti-Semitism and her remarks were said as a Briefing Held by Congressman Keith Ellison in Washington, DC on September 22, 2010.

She was referring to her attempt to learn from Muslim religious leaders how it is that Holocaust denial can be growing in so many Muslim circles.

Read them all.
