Since the Oct. 7 Hamas jihad massacres in Israel, Muslim clerics in mosques all over the United States have prayed for the victory of the Muslims and the destruction of Israel. But in one mosque in Bayonne, New Jersey, a cleric went even farther than that.
The Middle East Media Research Institute (MEMRI) reported that during a recent Friday sermon that was streamed on YouTube from the Bayonne Mosque and Community Center, an unnamed Muslim preacher emphasized the importance of Hamas’ jihad against Israel for the entire “Muslim nation,” and prayed an incendiary prayer that included the request that Allah would give the wealth, possessions and even the children of non-Muslims to the Muslims as booty, that is, the spoils of war.
The cleric preached: “Today, we are making the same supplication [as the Prophet did] for the group of people remaining in Gaza today, who are protecting and guarding the remaining dignity of the Muslim nation, and Allah be praised, before what happened on October 7, I met a brother from Gaza, and I said that to him.” This is puzzling language for anyone who believes the standard narrative that the Israeli/Palestinian conflict is over land, and can be solved by Israel ending its “occupation” and dismantling its settlements.” If that were the case, what would it have to do with the “dignity” of Muslims around the world
The New Jersey cleric is assuming what analysts of the conflict in the White House, the State Department, the Pentagon and the capitals of Europe steadfastly ignore: that as “The Palestinian Delusion” explains, the real cause of the conflict is the Islamic idea that any land that was governed by Islamic law at any point belongs by right to the Muslims forever. This idea is based on a Qur’anic command, “Drive them out from where they drove you out” (2:191). The claim that the Israelis drove the Muslim Arabs out of what is today the modern state of Israel is a historical myth: they were told to leave by the Arab League in 1948 when Israel declared its independence. The Arab League was promising to destroy Israel in a matter of weeks, after which they could return. Nevertheless, they now claim to have been driven out, making the destruction of Israel a matter of fulfilling the immutable will of Allah.
With these kinds of ideas in mind, the preacher continued: “And I said to him: ‘You are protecting the remaining dignity and honor, and some kind of respect for this nation.’ So I always make that supplication. When you think about it that way, that they are protecting the remaining dignity, the remaining sort of… kind of like… to show some power of this nation – it is our brothers and sisters in Gaza. We ask Allah to protect them. We ask Allah to grant them victory.” The nature of the victory he envisioned, however, should make every non-Muslim’s blood run cold.
“Oh Allah,” the cleric began his prayer, “punish the infidels, come upon them from wherever they do not expect. Oh Allah, instill fear into their hearts. Oh Allah, destroy their houses with their own hands and the hands of the believers. Oh Allah, let us inherit their homes, wealth, and land where we have not set foot yet. Oh Allah, turn them, their wealth, their children, and their lives into booty for Islam and the Muslims. Oh Allah, turn them into booty for Islam and the Muslims.” Yes, he really said that. Read it again.
And so in the waning days of 2023, we have the spectacle of a religious leader in New Jersey praying that the wealth and even the children of non-Muslims become the property of the Muslims as “booty.” The name of the eighth chapter of the Qur’an in Arabic is al-Anfal, which is variously translated as “booty” and the “spoils of war.” The Qur’an envisions the Muslims waging war on non-Muslims and capturing their belongings and even their women, and using them for their own purposes. Several passages of the Qur’an (4:3, 4:24, 23:1-6, 33:50, and 70:30) make it clear that Muslim warriors are permitted to seize infidel women and use them sexually.
That kind of exploitation is all too common, but it’s jarring to see a Muslim cleric in the United States wish for it so openly. Nor is there any indication that anyone at the Bayonne Mosque and Community Center uttered any words of dissent. The multiculturalism and diversity agenda was not sold to Americans with this sort of thing in mind. But this is what has been its result.

That jihadi Imam in the Bayonne mosque and Community Center who made terroristic threats and incited numerous violent crimes will have his door kicked in by the FBI any night now, along with the accomplices who went along with him.
Any night now.

“….will have his door kicked in by the FBI….” I wish it would happen, but it won’t because the current USA govt won’t do anything to upset Muslims. It is anti-Republicans, not anti-Islam

You know he won’t. Now if a Conservative, spoke, even rhetorically, “ the world would be better if we could eliminate them all” that Conservative would never again see daylight!

Not a snowballs chance in July will the piece of sewage be brought up short for threatening my children and grandchildren. He is protected by the Bush’s of this world and their handmaidens that control our armed police. If I were to react to this very real threat from a very real terrorist living in my country the armed henchmen would be kicking in my front door.
World@70 says
I can’t think of any other religions that has as its goal, to acquire the property, much less the children of any other religion or people by force. In fact this would seem to violate the civil laws of almost every place on earth.
“the Islamic idea that any land that was governed by Islamic law at any point belongs by right to the Muslims forever.”
Isn’t that an unusually strict definition of colonialism? You know, that thing America is always being ridiculed about.
commonsense says
Sura (i.e. chapter) of the Qur’an is entitled “The Spoils” (Al-Anfāl). It describes how lives and property of those defeated in jihad should be divided among victorious Muslims. What an odious “religion..”
commonsense says
That would be Sura 8. Sorry for the inadvertent omission.
Kasandra says
So the ummah has dignity? Who knew? If your “dignity” comes from hating people, killing them, and stealing their property you must be using a different dictionary than I (or most of the rest of the civilized world) does.

I got nuthin. I will however go to war if need be and I am very old man in the scheme of things.
Evil has to be eliminated.
TruthLaser says
“The request that Allah would give the wealth, possessions and even the children of non-Muslims to the Muslims” is the essence of Islam along with the cathouse paradise for jihadis dying in battle. These are the recruitment incentives for warriors. The West is using these principles of piracy in a more modern fashion, with affirmative discrimination.
Intrepid says
Why are we putting up with insane, beastly, lowlife, Muslim scum within our borders…..even when we know that jihadis are basically cowards that only attack unarmed people.
pinchas baram says
ask the libtard Dems and spineless JINOs to answer that question!
you don’t have to be a political wiz or super-Trump fan to see that he,Trump,is the one and only person who, if elected president, can and will stop this INSANITY!

What Muslims worship as Allah, Christians reject as the Devil. Muslims globally celebrated the rape, torture, dismemberment and murder of innocent civilians and even babies.. There are no voices of dissent registering from any branch of Islam..
The closer that Muslims get to Allah, the deeper they descend into the Hell that is the House of Islam.
The angel of death is Gods greatest mercy.. And because Islam is a religion of slaves, cut the head off the Hamas snake,, the submitters will bow to the powers that remain. Power is the god of devil worshipers in the end.
