Holidays, Motivation and Shaheeds (islamic terrorism)

These holidays are the culmination of a period in which religion, faith in Allah, stringent observance of the commandments and the avoidance of sin, in addition to the vilification of infidels, are paramount. The new wave of knife stabbing terror in Israel this past week, almost in sync with the terror attacks in the USA, raises the question: "Why now?" The most facile answer is pointing to the Muslim "Id al Adha" - "holiday of offering" - that also took place last week. The holiday has great significance for Muslims because their entire calendar has only two holidays, both of them at the end of a period of trying to come closer to Allah: Id al Fitr at the end of the Ramadan month of fasting and Id al Adha at the close of the Hajj pilgrimage to Mecca.

These holidays are the culmination of a period in which religion, faith in Allah, stringent observance of the commandments and the avoidance of sin, in addition to the vilification of infidels, are paramount.

Terror attacks against Jews are justified numerous times in Islamic sources. For example:

1. Muslim hatred for Jews is high because in the Koran, Jews are defined as the worst enemy of true believers. "You will surely find the most intense of the people in animosity toward the believers [to be] the Jews." (Sura 5,verse 82)

2. Jews wish to convince Muslims to abandon their fate. "Many of the People of the Scripture wish they could turn you back to disbelief after you have believed, out of envy from themselves [even] after the truth has become clear to them." (Sura 109 verse 2)

[[3. According to Islam, Jews can only live under Islamic subjugation as dhimmi - protected ones - with partial rights, and therefore can never rule Muslims. That is the reason the attempts to destroy Israel began before the 1967 Six Day War.]]

[[The world must own up to the truth about the terror attacks perpetrated by Muslims, admit the motivation behind them and the goals which bring them to go out to war against those whom they perceive as enemies]]

When the kamikaze first entered the war it must have been seen as an unbelievable act. Now we face the same insanity. We need a plan and a world declaration that this is what will happen from this day forward if any attack is made against our people or nation.
