Chabad Temple Course 'Scares' Muslim Groups
Arutz 7 ^ | 7-29-08 | staff

Posted on 07/29/2008 7:32:55 PM PDT by Nachum

(IsraelNN.com) A brief Chabad-sponsored course on the Temple, to be held in Israel this week and the next, has angered Islamic organizations, who call it a threat to the Al-Aksa Mosque compound.

"We view this as a serious and drastic move toward the fruition of extremist organizations to establish a temple in place of al-Aksa Mosque," said Zahi Nujidat of the Islamic Movement. "This represents a real danger to al-Aksa." The Aksa Foundation issued a similar statement.

The course, offered at roughly 200 locations throughout Israel, comes during the two weeks leading up to Tisha B'Av, the fast day that commemorates the destruction of both the First and the Second Temple.

Accordin to Chabad Lubavitch spokesman Rabbi Menachem Brod, the Muslim groups are cynically pointing to the short courses as proof that the Israeli establishment wants to destroy the mosque.

"This is a pure provocation by an organization that is exploiting any opportunity to incite the Arab public to violence against Israel," said Brod. "Every time they are looking for some other excuse to incite, and now they found it in the course."

Its time to throw the Arabs out of Israel! Dismantle their mosque and ship it back to Saudi Arabia. Rebuilding the Temple is long overdue.

Yes, it is indeed time to remove every Arab from Israel, for they just can not and will not live in peace.

"This represents a real danger to al-Aksa."

Islam is a real danger to civilization.

Sura (2:191-193) - "And slay them wherever ye find them, and drive them out of the places whence they drove you out, for persecution of Muslims is worse than slaughter of non-believers...and fight them until persecution is no more, and religion is for Allah."

Sura (5:33) - "The punishment of those who wage war against Allah and His messenger and strive to make mischief in the land is only this, that they should be murdered or crucified or their hands and their feet should be cut off on opposite sides or they should be imprisoned; this shall be as a disgrace for them in this world, and in the hereafter they shall have a grievous chastisement"

Sura (8:12) - "I will cast terror into the hearts of those who disbelieve. Therefore strike off their heads and strike off every fingertip of them"

Bukhari (52:177) - Allah's Apostle said, "The Hour will not be established until you fight with the Jews, and the stone behind which a Jew will be hiding will say. "O Muslim! There is a Jew hiding behind me, so kill him."

Tabari 7:97 The morning after the murder of Ashraf, the Prophet declared,"Kill any Jew who falls under your power."

Ibn Ishaq: 327 - “Allah said, ‘A prophet must slaughter before collecting captives. A slaughtered enemy is driven from the land. Muhammad, you craved the desires of this world, its goods and the ransom captives would bring. But Allah desires killing them to manifest the religion.’”

Sorry, a more careful reading says they really do mean course. Education a threat, what a country.

The mount was of no interest to the Muslims until they decided they could offend the Jews and gain some control by building a mosque on it. Tell them to go back to Mecca where they can worship their false god all they like.

It’s a real disgrace that the Temple hasn’t been rebuilt yet.

...May it be His will that the Temple be rebuilt soon and in our days. May He grant us our share in His Torah, and may we serve Him there with reverence, as in days of old, and in former years. Then the offering of Judah and Jerusalem will be pleasing to Him as in days of old, and in in former years....

May our eyes behold His return to Zion in compassion...

I’ll take their protest under consideration immediately following the closure of all their live-in madrassahs and jihadist terrorist training camps. ‘Til then, I can’t seem to work up any concern about some brief courses sponsored by Chabad, regardless of what the content might be.

Education is illegal in Muslim coutries.

Outside of the schools left behind by the British Empire in places like Pakistan, the only Islamic approved schools teach students to memorize the Koran.

That’s it. No reading or writing either.

"This is a pure provocation by an organization that is exploiting any opportunity to incite the Arab public to violence against Israel," said Brod. "Every time they are looking for some other excuse to incite, and now they found it in the course."

That is like saying that Sharon Tate "incited" Charley Manson.

I have never met a group of human beings so completely filled with rage, hatered and demons that the least dustspeck will incite genocide. I fear that the only way to make the world safe will be to crate them all up, lift them out of the gravity well of Earth and drop them down on Ceti Alpha Five. In a hundred years, they will wipe each other out in self-contained Holy Wars over what Mohammed ate for breakfast, will be enslaved by 1,233,723 different Imams, all preaching different values, and ultimately leave only one little old bald guy alive, who will slit his own throat for having once thought about Mohammed eating a pork BBQ sandwhich.

No, non-Islamic education is not illegal.

But even in non-religious schools, there is usually some kind of Muslim education. An imam brought in to teach some subjects, for instance.

Let’s see...my boyfriend was taught: Jews are evil & Allah’s wrath is upon us, a Wahhabi imam from Saudi encouraged the kids (5th grade) to grow up & do jihad in Chechnya, the Jews stole Israel, Allah cursed the Jews...the only positive thing ever said about Jews was that Jews are very smart & Arabs are stupid, & the kids were encouraged to do well in school so they can be smart like Jews.

& these were not religious schools at all.

If a powerful earthquake crumbles the Dome of the Rock, the Islamic world will not blame local Arab-Muslim destruction of the foundation, but will falsely attempt to somehow blame Israel for their own ongoing vandalism, which shall eventually contribute to the destruction of that Islamic eye sore.

It may seem that he’s from some fanatic hellhole in Saudi or Afghanistan, but no, he’s from Bahrain. A country that impresses Western tourists as open & nice. They have alcohol, churches, Jews, American bases. & yet this is what goes on in perfectly normal non-Islamic schools.
