There is an old-fashioned expression of amazement, “You don’t mean it!” And that’s exactly what establishment foreign policy analysts say every time a supporter of the “Palestinian” jihad tells us that it is all about Islam. Get the real story in The Palestinian Delusion: The Catastrophic History of the Middle East Peace Process.
“PA: Rejecting Trump’s plan is a religious obligation; You ‘betray Allah’ if you cooperate with the ‘deal of the century,'” by Nan Jacques Zilberdik, Palestinian Media Watch, February 14, 2020:
The Grand Mufti of the Palestinian Authority Muhammad Hussein has ruled that Palestinians are forbidden to cooperate in any way with US President Trump’s peace plan, the so-called “deal of the century.” Anyone cooperating with the plan is “betraying Allah,” and those who support it “deserve to be cursed by Allah, his angels, and all people”:
“[PA] Grand Mufti of Jerusalem and the Palestinian Territories Muhammad Hussein published a religious ruling that forbids cooperating with the ‘deal of the century’ and those promoting it, as its goal in general is to eliminate the Palestinian cause forever. The mufti said in a statement yesterday [Feb. 11, 2020] that anyone who cooperates with the deal is betraying Allah, His Messenger [Muhammad], the blessed Al-Aqsa Mosque, Jerusalem, and Palestine… those who are planning this unjust aggressiveness, or willingly supporting or being silent about it, deserve to be cursed by Allah, his angels, and all people.”
[Official PA daily Al-Hayat Al-Jadida, Feb. 12, 2020]
The ruling echoes the statement of Mahmoud Al-Habbash, the PA’s Supreme Shari’ah Judge and Chairman of the Supreme Council for Shari’ah Justice who before the revelation of Trump’s deal threatened that whoever accepts the plan “will pay the price of treason,” as Palestinian Media Watch documented.
Abbas’ Fatah addressed Trump directly in a video, threatening that they will “declare a war that only Allah can extinguish” if Trump continues with his peace plan. Fatah has also encouraged violence, telling Palestinians to defend “Palestine” with “blood and soul” to make sure the deal “does not pass.”
The following is a longer excerpt of the report on the mufti’s fatwa:
Headline: “The [PA] grand mufti forbids cooperating with the deal of the century and those who are promoting it”
“[PA] Grand Mufti of Jerusalem and the Palestinian Territories Muhammad Hussein published a religious ruling that forbids cooperating with the ‘deal of the century’ (i.e., US President Donald Trump’s Middle East peace plan; see note below) and those promoting it, as its goal in general is to eliminate the Palestinian cause forever.
The mufti said in a statement yesterday [Feb. 11, 2020] that anyone who cooperates with the deal is betraying Allah, His Messenger [Muhammad], the blessed Al-Aqsa Mosque, Jerusalem, and Palestine. He added that ‘the deal of the century’ steals Jerusalem from its legal owners, denies the Muslims their third [holiest] mosque, their first direction of prayer, and the place to which their Prophet, peace be upon him, travelled, and also does away with the refugees’ right and delegitimizes the demand of a people that was forcefully uprooted from its land to receive its legitimate rights.
He noted that the deal is meant to cancel the right of our people to live on its land in dignity, strengthens the thieving oppressor, supports it, and aggressively and unfairly grants it most of the Palestinian land that is scented with the Martyrs’ pure blood… which confirms that those who are planning this unjust aggressiveness, or willingly supporting or being silent about it, deserve to be cursed by Allah, his angels, and all people.”

Muhammad Hussein also holds the positions of preacher at the Al-Aqsa Mosque Palestinian Supreme Fatwa Council Chairman, and Deputy Secretary-General and acting Secretary-General of the PLO Popular National Conference of Jerusalem….

Find ‘Jerusalem’ in the Koran.

Good point, Mortimer–it is not there.
DHazard says
100% projection delivered with outrage, the favorite emotion of the poor little Palestinians crowd. And they’re mostly Jordanians anyway. Radical Islam would fall apart without imaginary enemies.
tim gallagher says
If you are “betraying Allah and Muhammad” (both so evil) then you must be on the right and moral track. It’s the same as if you are called an “Islamophobe”. Islam deserves to be hated, so, again, it means you are on the right track and you should wear that tag like a medal of honour.

This ‘muffin’ is no better than his ancestor, hitler’s buddy.
Peter35 says
P.s. my mistake, he’s no relation; just appointed. Still a moslem nutter.
mortimer says
Find ‘Palestine’ or ‘Palestinian’ in the Koran.

Again spot on, Mortimer. Muslims had next to no interest in this region until the Jews created a civilized state in their ancient homeland. The Ottoman Empire mostly ignored this region, which was largely depopulated under their aegis.
somehistory says
The not-so-grand moslim…sounds just like all of the other evil speakers of islam.
And, there should never have been any “muftis” in Jerusalem…”grand or otherwise.”
Send them all to some moslim country…but wait…there is no original “moslim country,” as they invaded, slaughtered, and grabbed every “stan”…land…they profess is theirs.
They should all go live in the desert where their lust for power and control began…with no microphones, no loudspeakers, no computers, no cars; nothing but hot sand. Even that’s too good for slime like this creep.
keith says
Another fine example of a despot who had someone read the peace plan to him (couldn’t do it himself), and realized that it meant the end of his cushy job with all his perks going as well.
These individuals don’t give a rats ass about the “Palestinian” people, just their personal power.
If they stand with the people, then why are they the only fat pricks you ever see?
PRCS says
1. Note that he said ‘the Arabs and the Muslims’.
He apparently believes he speaks for Arab Jews, Arab Christians, Arab Baha’i, Arab Zoroastrians,…
2. I wonder how many of his ‘flock’ have applied to immigrate to Europe, Australia, the U.S….
gravenimage says
Good point PRCS. Muslims often strong-arm Christians into publicly agreeing with them that Israel is bad.

Grand Mufti of Jerusalem: Anyone who cooperates with Trump peace deal is betraying Allah and Muhammad
…………..
Muslims hate peace.
James Lincoln says
According to the feature article:
“Grand Mufti of Jerusalem: Anyone who cooperates with Trump peace deal is betraying Allah and Muhammad”
From what I have learned about islam, this sounds to me like a true statement.
Therefore, any “peace deal” that does NOT call for the total elimination of Israel, along with all of the Jews, would be “betraying allah and mohammad”… blah blah blah…
Peni Elika says
Anyone who does not support the Jewish people and the nation of Israel, and Jerusalem as her Capital, is betraying the God of Abraham Isaac and Jacob PERIOD.
jca reid says
Historians ought to really scrutinize the documents in the Bundesarchiv in Germany re. documents on Hitler’s best Muslim pal, Al-Husseini, the Grand Mufti of Palestine. He formed a Division of Muslims for the SS to fight in the Balkans, which fought to the last in Berlin. It was he.who actually put the idea of exterminating the Jews, as opposed to simply deporting them to Madagascar. He spent the entire war in Berlin. His successor was his nephew, Yasser Arafat.
Billy Chickens says
Hooray! Hooray! I’m betraying Allah and Muhammad!
OLD GUY says
WHO GIVES A DAM what this guy thinks! Muhammad and Allah are the false god of the radical islamic power hungry who have this fallacy that they are going to rule the world.
RonH says
These terrorist morons want no peace, they never do, it’s why they’ve been battling and in wars for hundreds of years. If Islamic terrorists want no peace, then they need to consider which God they really follow.
