American leaders, and the greater part of the American public, have labored under various delusions about Islam ever since George W. Bush walked into a mosque six days after 9/11 and proclaimed that Islam was peace, and even before that as well. These delusions are not harmless; they have had a profound effect upon both foreign and domestic policies, and that effect has not been positive. One manifestation of our ongoing willful ignorance regarding Islam, jihad and Sharia is that the Republic of Turkey, despite its ongoing re-Islamization under President and would-be Caliph Recep Tayyip Erdogan, remains ostensibly a friend and ally of the United States.
The folly of the failure to reevaluate the U.S. relationship with Turkey in light of its reorientation toward jihadist aggression was demonstrated yet again on Sunday, when it came to lightthat the Republic of Turkey has constructed a new mosque in Gaza, and named it for none other than Abdullah Azzam, the co-founder, with Osama bin Laden, of al-Qaeda.
JNS reported Tuesday that “Turkey recently inaugurated a mosque in the Gaza Strip in the name of Salafi theologian Sheikh Abdullah Azzam, Israeli Minister for Diaspora Affairs and Combating Antisemitism Amichai Chikli said on Sunday.” Chikli stated: “What a ‘gesture’ from Turkey: Funding a mosque in Gaza named after Abdullah Azzam—the man who mentored Osama bin Laden and co-founded Al-Qaeda.”
JNS noted that Azzam, “an Islamic scholar from Silat al-Harithiya, a village near Jenin in Samaria, is widely considered the ‘father of the global jihad,’ having been bin Laden’s mentor before being assassinated by a car bomb detonated by unidentified assailants in Peshawar, Pakistan, in 1989.” As if that weren’t enough, Azzam “also laid the groundwork for the establishment of Al-Qaeda and the Pakistani jihadist group Lashkar-e-Taiba, which carried out the attacks in Mumbai, India, in 2008, killing 166 people and wounding 300. Rabbi Gavriel Holtzberg and his wife, Rivka, who ran the Nariman House Chabad center in the city, were among those murdered.”
Azzam was also influential in the Muslim Brotherhood and aleader of Hamas. Born in a Palestinian Arab village in 1941, Azzam was raised in a pious Muslim household and had impeccable Islamic credentials, having earned a degree in Sharia from the Sharia College of Damascus University in 1966. In 1973, he received a Ph.D. in Islamic jurisprudence from al-Azhar University in Cairo, the oldest, most respected, and most influential institute of higher learning in the Muslim world.
Azzam then joined the jihad against Israel, but soon grew frustrated. His fellow mujahedin spent their off-hours gambling and playing music, both forbidden activities according to Islamic law — particularly in the interpretation of the Shafi’i school which holds sway at al-Azhar. Ultimately Azzam decided that “this revolution has no religion behind it” and traveled to Saudi Arabia to teach. There he taught that the Muslim’s philosophy in conflicts with non-Muslims ought to be “jihad and the rifle alone. NO negotiations, NO conferences and NO dialogue.”
In 1980, attracted by the jihad against the Soviets in Afghanistan, he went to Pakistan to get to know the movement’s leaders. He taught for a while at the International Islamic University in Islamabad, but soon resigned in order to devote himself full-time to jihad. Azzam and his “dear friend” Osama bin Laden founded the Mujahedin Service Bureau in order to give aid to those fighting in Afghanistan. However, he desired to be on the front line of jihad, and ultimately went to Afghanistan himself.
Joining the fight in Afghanistan, he declared: “Never shall I leave the Land of Jihad, except in three cases. Either I shall be killed in Afghanistan. Either I shall be killed in Peshawar. Or either I shall be handcuffed and expelled from Pakistan.” And indeed, in 1989 he was killed under mysterious circumstances in Peshawar.
This is the man whom “secular Turkey” decided to honor by naming its Gaza mosque after him. (And why is Turkey building a mosque in Gaza anyway? That’s thanks to Donald Trump holding back Israel from achieving its goal of defeating Hamas utterly.) Amichai Chikli said that Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan had made Turkey into “a dangerous Trojan horse, actively advancing Al-Qaeda-linked networks in Gaza, Syria and Mogadishu, Somalia. The West’s continuing blindness to Erdoğan’s game is extremely dangerous. Wake up before it’s too late.”
Indeed.
I’m sorry to hear this, but the winner of a war gets to write the history of it and build and name what monuments it will. Hamas won the war.
Well, they win until Trump just exactly like Biden-Obama called cease fire and stopped Israeli victory. Thats how Hamas won.
And they pledge to continue to destroy Israel. Some board of “peace” What a farce.
That’s true only to a very modest point. Hamas won because Israel’s stores of munitions were so badly run down that they couldn’t fight unless they got constant deliveries from Biden—which they didn’t get. The war only happened in the first place because the leadership of the Israeli left insisted that reservists not report for duty when called up during judicial reform. This forced the chief of staff to redeploy the two battalions normally stationed on the Gaza border elsewhere to meet what was seen as a more critical threat. Israel—not Trump or even Biden—defeated itself.
The west including America never wanted Israel to be the victor. It wanted Israel to exist only for the benefit of the west. A victorious Israel, will force Arabs to acquiesce to a peace treaty which may undercut western influence. . And that couldn’t be tolerated. Basically The west and America are using both Israel and The Arabs as a pawns in global power politics.
Oh well, one more IDF operation needed in Gaza to erase the big penis in the sky.
I can see it now. Turkey builds three mosques in Gaza which is overseen by Diyanet which is funded by Turkey. Hamas then uses these mosques to store military equipment and hide Hamas terrorists. Israel attacks the mosques because they’re being used for military purposes. Turkey then says that Turkish property has been attacked by Israel and uses this as an excuse to attack Israel and maybe even ask NATO countries for help in attacking Israel under NATO”s article 5. Why is Turkey in NATO and still an ally of the U.S.? Turkey, under Erdogan, isn’t interested in peace but in destroying Israel and spreading Islam throughout the world.
You just pinpointed the entire meaning of “peace boards” assemble a hateful UN like group and when Israel defends herself or tries to stop or take out terror, say Israel attacked the entire world. Its perfect anti-Semitic set up. Thanks to the “greatest friend of Israel” (sarcastic)
Heaven must and will intervene and expose the hater for who he is.
If yer right, and you may be, I don’t believe that President Trump has any of these nefarious plans, at this point. Now we do understand that satan will ‘take over’ a very charismatic man to set up his earthly kingdom and at least half of the world loves Donald Trump. Plus, the antichrist will conquer ‘by peace’, and who is the current ‘man of peace’ on the world scene?
Either way, it won’t be long before we find out.
Maranatha, come Lord Jesus……..
Turkey just laid claim to Gaza before Trump’s (and Kushner’s) rebuilding plan goes into effect, thereby claiming that Trump will be rebuilding Gaza on Muslim land.
And Turkey is one of the Big 3 who will attack Israel during the upcoming Ezekial 38 war, along with Russia and Iran and all their ‘stan’ proxies.
But God is about to throw a huge wrench into all of their plans…… Zephaniah 2:4 states…… “For Gaza shall be deserted, and Ashkelon shall become a desolation.” Hmmmmm. I wonder who wins this one? 🙂
Maranatha, come Lord Jesus………..<

Time to KICK turkey OUT of NATO!!!!!!!!!!
The irony of this is that, if Turkey did conquer either Gaza or any part of Israel, there would be no self-determination for the Palestinians, because the whole idea behind their claims is to restore the land to Islam, as would happen if Turkey gained it. (The Palestinians would, however, be better treated than non-Muslims).
