As I explain in my book The History of Jihad From Muhammad to ISIS, which you can order here, Muhammad led a Muslim force against the Khaybar oasis, which was inhabited by Jews — many of whom he had previously exiled from Medina. When he did so, he was not responding to any provocation. One of the Muslims later remembered: “When the apostle raided a people he waited until the morning. If he heard a call to prayer he held back; if he did not hear it he attacked. We came to Khaybar by night, and the apostle passed the night there; and when morning came he did not hear the call to prayer, so he rode and we rode with him….We met the workers of Khaybar coming out in the morning with their spades and baskets. When they saw the apostle and the army they cried, ‘Muhammad with his force,’ and turned tail and fled. The apostle said, ‘Allah Akbar! Khaybar is destroyed. When we arrive in a people’s square it is a bad morning for those who have been warned.’”
When they entered Khaybar, the Muslims immediately set out to locate the inhabitants’ wealth. A Jewish leader of Khaybar, Kinana bin al-Rabi, was brought before Muhammad; Kinana was supposed to have been entrusted with the treasure of on of the Jewish tribes of Arabia, the Banu Nadir. Kinana denied knowing where this treasure was, but Muhammad pressed him: “Do you know that if we find you have it I shall kill you?” Kinana said yes, that he did know that.
Some of the treasure was found. To find the rest, Muhammad gave orders concerning Kinana: “Torture him until you extract what he has.” One of the Muslims built a fire on Kinana’s chest, but Kinana would not give up his secret. When he was at the point of death, one of the Muslims beheaded him. Kinana’s wife Safiyya bint Huyayy was taken as a war prize; Muhammad claimed her for himself and hastily arranged a wedding ceremony that night. He halted the Muslims’ caravan out of Khaybar later that night in order to consummate the marriage.
Muhammad agreed to let the people of Khaybar to go into exile, allowing them to keep as much of their property as they could carry. The Prophet of Islam, however, commanded them to leave behind all their gold and silver. He had intended to expel all of them, but some, who were farmers, begged him to allow them to let them stay if they gave him half their yield annually. Muhammad agreed: “I will allow you to continue here, so long as we would desire.” He warned them: “If we wish to expel you we will expel you.” They no longer had any rights that did not depend upon the good will and sufferance of Muhammad and the Muslims. And indeed, when the Muslims discovered some treasure that some of the Khaybar Jews had hidden, he ordered the women of the tribe enslaved and seized the perpetrators’ land. A hadith notes that “the Prophet had their warriors killed, their offspring and woman taken as captives.”
Thus when modern-day Muslims invoke Khaybar, they are recalling an aggressive, surprise raid by Muhammad which resulted in the final eradication of the once considerable Jewish presence in Arabia. To the jihadists, Khaybar means the destruction of the Jews and the seizure of their property by the Muslims.
“PA calls for murder of Jews in suicide bombings and stabbings to ‘restore honor,” by Nan Jacques Zilberdik and Itamar Marcus, Palestinian Media Watch, June 8, 2020:
The PA is creating an atmosphere of terror and war for the Palestinian street, so that the population will be prepared to use violence and terror against Israel, should the leadership want it. This follows Abbas’ ending all cooperation with Israel.
An endless stream of music videos and fillers calling for murder and violence, and including footage of Palestinian violence and riots are being broadcast on one of the TV stations the PA controls. The following four terror incitement videos are but a few examples among many that were all broadcast on PA TV Live during the last two weeks:
PA calls for murder of Jews: “Restore the glory of Khaibar, The Sons of Zion are in my land violating my honor”
This song calls for murder of Jews in that it asks to “restore the glory of Khaibar.” Khaibar is the name of the last Jewish village defeated by Muhammad’s army in 628. Many Jews were murdered in the battle, which marked the end of Jewish presence in Arabia. There are Muslims who see this event as a precursor to future wars against Jews. At extremist gatherings and rallies, this slogan is often chanted as a threat to Jews, warning them that they should expect their coming defeat and slaughter by Muslims. The song justifies its call for murder with the claim that the Jews – “the Sons of Zion” – are “violating my honor”:Lyrics: “O Arabs, Al-Aqsa has a request,
Light the fire of rage, this obligation is necessary…
The Zionists have become arrogant.
They attack and behave tyrannically
Call out Allahu Akbar and restore the glory of Khaibar
The Sons of Zion are in my land violating my honor today.
O people of Allah, respond! We will continue on the path of Allah…
The night of the occupation is growing long – prepare for the call!
We are the men of the Al-Aqsa Mosque, we cannot be humiliated.”[Official PA TV Live, June 1, 2020;

Why do Muslims hate Jews so much?
1. Allah told them to
2. Muhammad hated them so Muslims follow suit
3. Religious indoctrination (version of 1 and 2 just to make sure the “fixes” are permanent)
4. Envy
5. Sore loser complex (a 6 day war!!??)
6. Racism/Prejudice
7. Propaganda from Shariah compliant governments
8 Tradition that predates Islam
9. They stole Muslim land
10. They kill babies and drink their blood
11. Because Jews are ____________________________________.
12. They don’t hate Jews, they hate Zionists
13. They won’t stop talking/lying/exaggerating about the Holocaust
14. Spite
There is not a single reason for Muslims to hate Jews other than racism and all the friends it brings to the party. It doesn’t stop being racism just because Jews made a thriving country right under the noses of their inept neighbors. It doesn’t stop being racism because Jews can protect themselves better than their neighbors. It doesn’t stop being racism because Muslims have inferior educations.
James Lincoln says
DHazard,
An excellent list, my compliments.
If muslims took all the time and energy that they waste hating and fighting Jews and used it to improve their own lives by actually learning from Jews, they would prosper.
But it will never happen…
Lilith Wept says
I think there a quote attributed to Golda Meir that says “ when the Arabs love their children more than they hate Jews, the there will be peace” .
But that’s will never happen. The Koran tells moslems to ,love Muhammed more than their fathers and mothers, and if their children or any relative does a anything against Allah’s laws, they should punish them according to Allah’s laws ( kill, flog, Stone, cut off body parts) . And that if anyone does anything against Allah’s laws, or associates wirh infedels, then they are no longer Moslwms but infedels themselves and we all know what moslems do to infedels!
This ideology encourages families to turn on each other , snitch on each other. NO wonder moslems are so miserable! Everything in Islam is designed to make them miserable. No art, no music, only one or two holidays a year,women can be raped then blamed and killed if they report it. can’t trust your relatives, men can divorce wives in an instant for no reason with no support, and polygamy destroys families , wives are fighting and making men unhappy, children don’t feel loved or have proper attention from the fathers, women have no security, have to compete wirh other women for their husbands time…..it sounds great for guys but in reality it’s not.
And from what I read , Nile a use is epidemic in Islamic culture. Don’t forget the “ bacha bazi”
I know they are supposed to obey Allah and concentrate on the next world not this one.
But the Bible tells Christians and Jews this too, but our God doesn’t make us miserable here in this world. Just avoid sinning and live by Gods laws.

Palestinian Authority: “Call out Allahu akbar and restore the glory of Khaibar,” site of massacre of Jews
………………..
Islam has always been about murdering Jews. Both Hamas and the “Palestinian Authority” have the destruction of Israel in their charters.
Walter Sieruk says
Dr. Sabastian Gorka , well, understands that the root cause of the ideology of Islamic terrorism which is based on Islam. For in his book which is entitled DEFEATING JIHAD explained about the jihadist –Muslims on page 132 which reads “The enemy’s center of gravity is ideology of holy war against the infidel…”
This is, of course, the ideology of Islam’s jihad [Islamic terrorism] is based on the Quran,5:33 4:89 9:111,123.47:4 ,in which the jihadists are in this war against us for the victory of Islam over us.
Walter Sieruk says
There is much talk about rooting out the ideology of Islamic terrorism. What is not mentioned is that the foundation of this type of terrorism is the theology of Islam’s “holy book” the Quran. For the Quran instructs in the uses of violence and killing for the advancement of Islam. As found in, for example, 2:191. 5:33. 9:5, 111.123. 47:4. Therefore Islam is a false, dangerous and deadly religion.
Lilith Wept says
Walter Sieruk. You can’t seperate the religious ( or pseudo religious) aspects of islam from the Political aspects.
It doesn’t matter if we in the West think Islam is false.
What matters is what the worlds moslems think. And they believe the Koran to be the literal word of Allah, and the Hadiths are the must follow example of the worlds perfect Muslim man. word for word. So that’s what we shouod be looking at when we want to know what Islam is all about.. if it’s innthe Koran or Mohammed did it or said it was acceptable, then moslems will do it.
And I agree, Because Islam is both a religious ideology and a political ideology, tangled together, ( and what the Islamic doctrine teaches) Islam is a dangerous ideology.
The problem is we in the west don’t see Islam as political. Because no other religion we have encountered has been so political, so violently expansionist and supremists, so willing to do ANYTHING that achieves their goal of an Islamic world. So we continue to bleat about “tolerance” and Islam means peace….all the while political,Islam is working every day WITHIN our countries, with our traitorous countrymen aiding and abetting them, to spread isoamic influence in the west with the goal of taking over our countries.
Europe is gone. Except a few countries, Canada too. New Zealand and Australia look to be following. Russia and China won’t become Islamic .
What’s American going to do when most of the world is Islamic?
If we don’t do something in America we won’t reach our 300th birthday as a free country …that is if you can call America to day free. ( it’s relative I guess, relative to Europe and Islam we are free, relative to America of 50 years ago, we aren’t. ) and we are getting less free every day.
But don’t believe we WILL do anything. Because we can’t unless it’s a full blown revolution. I believe between the moslems themselves , and the Liberal,,eftists that are their allies, there is simply too much opposition for the Right , Conservative, Republican, Christian to achieve anything significant in the way of slowing down or stopping the spread of islam , much less eliminating Islam from America. If we tried, it would cause a revolution that would make the Civil war look mild.
We can’t even get a single politicians whom will stand up and say “ The problem isn’t radical,Islam, it’s isoam, mainstream core Islamic doctrine is what is causing the problems the West and America have with Islam. And the two ideologies, islam and The West, are completely incompatable. “ and NOT apologize and grovel when CAIR starts the bullying and lawfare against them!
I wish to God I was wrong, but I don’t think I am.

Lilith, Islam actually presents a huge threat in Russia–and the Muslim population there is higher than in most of Europe. Also, while he talks tough Putin regularly appeases Islam–as does the Russian Orthodox Patriarch.
It is not just the West that is in trouble.
