Celebrate diversity! The Jews in the Qur’an are called the strongest of all people in enmity toward the Muslims (5:82); they fabricate things and falsely ascribe them to Allah (2:79; 3:75, 3:181); they claim that Allah’s power is limited (5:64); they love to listen to lies (5:41); they disobey Allah and never observe his commands (5:13). They are disputing and quarreling (2:247); hiding the truth and misleading people (3:78); staging rebellion against the prophets and rejecting their guidance (2:55); being hypocritical (2:14, 2:44); giving preference to their own interests over the teachings of Muhammad (2:87); wishing evil for people and trying to mislead them (2:109); feeling pain when others are happy or fortunate (3:120); being arrogant about their being Allah’s beloved people (5:18); devouring people’s wealth by subterfuge (4:161); slandering the true religion and being cursed by Allah (4:46); killing the prophets (2:61); being merciless and heartless (2:74); never keeping their promises or fulfilling their words (2:100); being unrestrained in committing sins (5:79); being cowardly (59:13-14); being miserly (4:53); being transformed into apes and pigs for breaking the Sabbath (2:63-65; 5:59-60; 7:166); and more. They are under Allah’s curse (9:30), and Muslims should wage war against them and subjugate them under Islamic hegemony (9:29).
Welcome to Merkel’s new Germany!
“Iranians arrested after attacks on Essen synagogue,” translated from “Nach Attacken auf Essener Synagoge: Iraner festgenommen,” Wochenblick, November 25, 2020 (thanks to Medforth):
After two attacks on the Jewish synagogue in Essen on November 14th and 20th, in which stones and concrete slabs were thrown at the building, a suspect has now been caught: a 37-year-old Iranian who was already known to the police.
Last Friday, the man threw a stone slab in a window of the synagogue. Images from surveillance cameras were then evaluated, and it was found that the same perpetrator had damaged another window on November 14th.
The arrested Iranian is said to have confessed; However, he did not indicate a motive for the crime. He was arrested on Tuesday.
Anti-Semitism is increasing
The chairman of the Jewish community in Essen, Schalwa Chemsurashvili, was shocked after the attack: If the bulletproof glass had not held, people could have been seriously injured. “The incident broke my sense of security. I once felt safe in Essen,” he told the magazine “DER WESTEN”. Anti-Semitism has increased sharply in Germany – there are problems in schools in particular: his own niece was only able to go to school in peace after she had stated that she was a Muslim after changing schools.
mortimer says
“Celebrate diversity!” Huh?
Islam denigrates other cultures and demands they not be celebrated in public … only in private … and so quietly that Muslims will not overhear it or be influenced by the dirty kufaar.
Islam’s three primary source texts (the Islamic Trilogy) are filled with hatred directed against KAFIRS and against JEWS. There is more JEW HATRED in the Islamic Trilogy than in Mein Kampf.
Statistical Jew Hatred in Koran and Hadiths
– Grand total of Jew Hatred in Koran: 10,242 total words / 152,006 words = 6.7% Jew hatred.
– Total number of Jew Hatred Verses in Koran: 123 Jew-hating Koran verses
– 17% of Medinan Koran is Jew hatred – 1% of Meccan Koran is Jew hatred
– 8.9% of hadiths are Jew hatred
– 12% of Sira is Jew hatred
– 9.3% of Islamic Trilogy is Jew hatred
– 7% of Mein Kampf is Jew hatred by comparison.
– Koran of Mecca filled with Jewish stories plagiarized and distorted.
– Jews of Medina did not validate Mohammed’s prophecy, so he then exterminated the Jews, stole their property and enslaved their women and children. -Mohammed entered Medina with his people as refugees, but within a few years there were no Jews left in Medina.
– Mohammed provides the example of hatred against Jews that Muslims must follow

Mortimer, Robert Spencer is of course being sarcastic. Infidels often consider Islam part of the diversity of Western society, when it is in reality a threat to any real diversity.

It has nothing to do with Islam. Islam is the religion of peace.

The Jew hatred expressed by even the youngest Muslims in Germany shows that Muslims are the new Nazis in Germany.
Congrats, Merkel.
Pray Hard says
Nazis were amateurs compared to moslems.
Eleanor says
Exactly right, out with the old Nazis, in with the new – Merkel without a doubt knows exactly what she has done to her country. In the words of MSM, “the motive is unclear but it could be a case of mental illness”.
somehistory says
It’s all a joke to this idiot, enabler of terrorism.
Poor child, being forced to lie and claim islam as her ‘belief’ so as not to be attacked. How many others like her are there in merk’s Germany?
Of course, it’s wrong to lie, but merkel and the moslims she imported are to blame. The child can be forgiven…much like Abraham told the ruler that Sarah was his “sister” rather than his wife, in order to keep living.
Pray Hard says
It’s wrong to lie? I think maybe you missed to point by a light year.
somehistory says
Think again, then. Perhaps you need a lesson in reading and understanding what you read, not just seeing the words.
gravenimage says
Under normal circumstances lying *is* wrong–but just as I would not condemn a Jewish person for lying to the Nazis, I do not condemn this poor Jewish girl for lying to her Muslim assailants.
somehistory says
I’m neither Judging nor Condemning. Only commenting regarding the place this child is in because of merkel and the moslim terrorists she has willingly brought into the country.
It is wrong to lie, but as I pointed out, even Men of God in the Bible sometimes did to save their lives or the lives of others.
Abraham, his son Isaac, Rahab to protect the two spies, for examples.
The Apostle Peter lied…three times…but was forgiven.
I can’t say that put in his position, or that of this little girl, that I wouldn’t do the same. Can anyone?
gravenimage says
Somehistory, I was *not* being critical of you–I was just stating my own position.
Infidel says
Did that girl islamize her name as well to continue in class? How difficult would it be for her classmates to conclude that she ain’t Muslim once they find out her name? Or are they even dumber than rocks?
If Europe is ever actually overrun by jihadists and passes shariah as the law of the land, how different would it be from today’s Deutschland? Yeah, I know France has started growing a spine in the last few weeks, but how different would other countries be, such as Italy, UK, Belgium, Sweden, Spain and Germany?
gravenimage says
I was thinking the same, Infidel. Next time saying she is Muslim likely won’t be enough–they will either find out that she is not Muslim, or they will insist that she say the Shehada or even demand that she join in bullying non-Muslim students herself.
Frank Anderson says
Please tolerate a brief lesson about the wisdom of Judaism: A Rabbi who is called Maimonides lived about 1200 years ago. He counted and collected all the “commandments” or “good deeds” or “mitzvot” (plural of mitzvah) into a list of 613 instructions. Then he ranked them. The First Mitzvah is that “All rules bend as necessary for the preservation of life.” When faced with a choice of death or lying, lie like a dog. God knows the truth and accepts the reason to hide it. We are here to live and prosper, even when having to endure the most extreme hardship, such as the Nazi death camps. This is the source of the wisdom of Jesus. With total apology for any of my errors or offense taken.
gravenimage says
Agreed, Frank.
I consider the truth to be of great importance–but if someone is going to harm or even murder you for telling an innocent truth, then they don’t deserve the truth.
James Lincoln says
gravenimage,

eduardo odraude says
Nor would I judge someone in that position who chooses to lie. I would note that some Christians believe it is part of their religion never to deny their adherence to Christ, even if it means dying. Perhaps one source of that attitude is the passage in the NT where Christ, if my uncertain memory serves, says something like, “if you deny me to others, I will deny you to my Father.” Those Christians lined up and kneeling in order to be beheaded on film by ISIS on some north African beach presumably refused to deny Jesus or convert to Islam.
Frank Anderson says
e.o., i always welcome correction when I am in error. It is my understanding that during the Inquisition, Jews were forced to convert to Christianity. Many did “officially” which allowed them to live. Those who refused faced torture, banishment or death.
Would we have the courage to choose life in a Nazi death camp in preference to death? According to Viktor Frankl, who survived the death camps, an inmate could choose death at any time simply by stepping over a wire placed about 2 meters from the camp fence, to be shot dead on the spot. I hope we can avoid such choices today. “It is better to light one candle than to curse the darkness.”
somehistory says
The unforgivable sin is denying that the Truth is the Truth such as the Pharisees did when they accused Jesus of having power from satan and not from God.
This is the “denial” that Jesus was speaking about when He said, “If you deny me before men, I will deny you before the Father, but if you confess me before men, I will confess you to the Father.”
If we know someone is going to be murdered if we tell those asking where to find that one, it is permissible to hide the truth from the would-be murderers.
Each person must live with their conscience and James wrote that if we believe something is wrong and we do it, even if it is not wrong, we have sinned.
It must be very difficult for someone who knows the importance of telling the Truth to be put in a position where they know telling the Truth will get them killed.
But, that is where faith comes in.
Jesus said, “The one trying to save his soul will lose it, but the one losing his soul for my sake, will find. it.” (In the resurrection is where the one dying will “find” his soul.)
Frank Anderson says
Friend S.H., I have fought suicide all my life, my own and others. I am useless to anyone dead. I am not much use to anyone alive; but I am totally useless dead. I cannot set aside what Burton Mack describes in his book Who Wrote the New Testament, that the real authors of the New Testament, and all its quotes attributed to Jesus are unknown.
There may be times when martyrdom is appropriate and necessary. There are also times when it is a total waste that serves only the tyrants who survive. I am more misery and harm to a tyrant alive than I am dead. Once I am dead, I am only some pile of fertilizer for the tyrant’s garden. One of the reasons I cannot identify myself as a Christian, is that I cannot agree to die without the best fight I am capable of giving. God gave me this life and expects me to take it as His Property which I merely hold and use as his Trustee.
I treasure my many Christian and Jewish friends. It seems both have their reasons to exclude me from their communities. God Knows who I am and what I am about. That is good enough. I wish you well.
James Lincoln says
Frank Anderson says,
“I have fought suicide all my life, my own and others.”
Hopefully, you have taken advantage of expert mental health treatment.
As I have said before, you bring great wisdom to Jihad Watch as an expert commenter. It would have been tragic if Jihad Watch readers could not have taken advantage of your wisdom.
Super high achievers are at significantly increased risk for suicide. The standards that they set for themselves are impossibly high – and they hold themselves fully accountable. Not a good combination.
I have never told anyone this before, but I have personally struggled with suicidal ideation myself. At one point, while a medical student, I actually called the suicide hotline after a fellow female medical student that I was very seriously dating dumped me. I actually thought that we were going to be married.
Expert mental health treatment was critical…
Frank Anderson says
James, I am alive today because of the help I have received from many sources through extremely hard times that others intended to be my end. They failed. I learned things that have not only helped me survive, but to my great joy have helped me help others to deal with much of the worst life has to offer.
Starting in military school, I was taught along with everyone else by our Superintendent, Col. TCH, that “A wise man harkeneth to counsel; A fool in his own eyes is always right.” That lesson delivered often made me able to accept good counsel and to recognize when it was needed.
We both know well that the first step to dealing with any problem is to admit a problem exists. As long as no problem exists, there is no need to do anything.
somehistory says
Dear Frank,
I am not anyone’s Judge. I don’t even have the authority to judge myself as to whether I am doing what God wants me to. I hope so, but will only know when He tells me.
In my comment to which you replied, I wrote this:
“Each person must live with their conscience and James wrote that if we believe something is wrong and we do it, even if it is not wrong, we have sinned.”
If you sincerely believe, and I don’t doubt that you do, that it would be **wrong** to die in such a situation, to not give all you have to fight, then it would be “wrong” for you to do differently Even if dying, such as Stephen did, or others did, as Christ did for all of us, is “right” for others, it would be “wrong” for you because you believe it to be so.
Looking at this as on a different topic, but the same principle, say drinking a beer.
Some people consider drinking any alcohol as *wrong.* If one feels that it is a sin to drink a bottle of beer, but then drinks one anyway, they have “sinned.” But, another person who realizes that alcohol in moderation is okay, drinks a beer, that person has not sinned.
I only wish you well. Remember, I am not anyone’s judge and I’m not judging you for your choices.
There is a Bible verse, I believe it is some of David’s words in the Book of Psalms where he says, “Even if my own father and mother did leave me, Jehovah Himself would take me up.” Those may not be the exact words, but as I recall them, probably fairly close.
In the end of the matter, that is all that is really important….How our Heavenly Father feels about us. We do the best we can to understand and be obedient to Him and that is all we can do…and He knows our hearts. He understands us better than we understand ourselves.
Frank Anderson says
s.h., I don’t think we disagree. In some discussions I have heard it argued that the quote, “Judge not that ye are not judged likewise” does not mean “don’t judge at all” but does mean “judge by the rules you accept for being judged”. We cannot function without making judgments. When life is treated as God’s Property, which we hold in trust, then protecting and using that life for good instead of wasting it or using it for evil becomes pretty easy to understand.
somehistory says
FA
I don’t disagree. Jesus said, “With the judgment you render, you will be judged. If you judge without mercy, you will be judged without mercy.”
One word can have so many different applications; such as “judge.”
We are supposed to, expected to, make judgments based on what we know is morally right. Jesus also said that “a rotten tree cannot produce good fruit,” and “sheep in wolves clothing,” so we could make judgments regarding the behavior of other people. These judgments help us make decisions on our own conduct and with whom we associate. As Paul wrote, “Bad associations” can cause a good person to go the wrong way.
The Psalmist wrote something such as, ‘I do not sit with one who tells lies, nor with those without integrity do I come in.’
But, it is not my place to decide whether God has Judged someone as on his way to salvation or not. And, in my other comment about judging, I meant that it is not my place to be someone’s conscience and decide when that person has stepped over the line. “Each one must carry his own load,” of responsibility to God, although we should help others “carry their burdens.”
Burdens are put upon us by this world or by our frail bodies. Our “load” is put upon us by God.
So, in the end, we observe and can basically tell if someone is trying to serve our Creator or has chosen to serve satan. It’s up to God and His Son to reward or render a Judgment. He sees “what the heart is.”
Frank Anderson says
s.h., I think we are in total agreement on this subject. I hope you will first, not take any offense in the process and second at least tolerate my effort to follow the person Jesus as I understand him. In spite of my many, huge errors in life, I have reason to believe and hope I am here for good reasons. Many long stories, all true, could be told why I hope that my errors and efforts are forgiven.

Germany: Muslim migrant attacks synagogue, Jewish girl says she is Muslim to avoid assault by Muslim classmates
…………………
The Muslims attacker at the Synagogue was known to the police and had already attacked the temple previously.
But he is just the tip of this ugly iceberg–how many Muslim schoolmates threatened this Jewish girl that she had to lie about being Muslim?
Michael Copeland says
The Merkel Effect: “I no longer feel safe”.
James Lincoln says
So this Jewish girl no longer feels safe in Germany.
Consider “Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs”. Safety is a basic need that is no longer being fulfilled in parts of Germany, stifling psychological needs / self-fulfillment needs…
https://www.simplypsychology.org/maslow.html
gravenimage says
Thanks for that link, James.
eduardo odraude says
Maslow’s hierarchy of needs only represents one side of human nature. Maslow’s hierarchy claims that humans give greater priority to physical needs and to survival needs than to anything higher. Only when physical and survival needs have been met, Maslow’s hierarchy suggests, can we devote ourselves to higher pursuits. Maslow’s hierarchy of needs takes what is merely natural and biological about the human being as the measure of what is real and advisable. Thus Maslow takes as representative of the whole human being and humanity only the lower nature of the human being. Maslow’s hierarchy — while it obviously displays part of the truth we all know from our own lives so focused on survival — is only one half of the story. There is also the fact that “man does not live by bread alone,” and that people are frequently ready to die precisely for the highest values they know of — they are certainly not following Maslow’s hierarchy — they are not putting survival first and higher aspirations last. I imagine that the more a person is able to prioritize higher interests over mere survival needs, the more that person’s life is felt as worth living.
So Maslow’s hierarchy should be supplemented with a second hierarchy, call it a socratic or Christian hierarchy, in which the order of values is the exact opposite of what Maslow presents. The reverse order notes that some people would rather die, would rather not survive, than violate their own highest values. The two opposite hierarchies to a certain extent fight it out within humanity. Maslow’s hierarchy conceives the human being is just a higher animal, fundamentally a creature emergent through survival of the fittest during the course of evolution. Certainly we often, perhaps usually, behave more like animals than like something more than natural. But the other side is the exaltation of principle, truth, integrity, love, etc. The hierarchy that is the reverse of Maslow’s could be represented by the lives of both Socrates and Christ. In Plato’s dialogs, Socrates is portrayed as holding death in contempt and emphasizing that some principles and actions are more important than living. And Christ says, “Man does not live by bread alone.” Maslow presents the merely natural side of humanity. Christ represents the higher possibilities of the human being, that part that puts survival second after pursuit of higher motives.
None of this is intended as any judgment against the girl who pretended to be Muslim.
Frank Anderson says
e.o., do I remember correctly from the summer that my adopted mother died, 1989, that Maslow’s hierarchy inverted for the “self actualizing” person? I was auditing a course taught by one of my 8 fathers by choice. He seemed to take great pleasure in that discussion which described me in some of my legal campaigns.

Islam is religion of peace indeed. Islam kills all infidels, Buddhists, Christians and etc. Because it said in Quaran that kill infidel is a duty of each muslims.

There have been a lot of Jihadists who have also drunk alcohol at one time or another–this is no guarantee that they they actually reject the horrors of Islam.

gravenimage,
As I recall, the muslim hijackers of 9/11 went to strip clubs and *drank alcohol* only a short time before carrying out their mass murders.
Apparently, they believed that “allah” would overlook their transgressions if the jihad attack was completed…
somehistory says
m atta was in Florida for some time before the terror attacks. He went often to the bars and it was said that he wanted to appear like a “normal” guy so there would be no suspicion until it was time to go to NY and commit the terror actions.
Doing anything…or not…is acceptable to moslims if it furthers their foul goals for satan.
eduardo odraude says
Also, if memory serves, all one’s transgressions are forgiven by Allah if one dies in a jihad battle. According to the core Islamic texts, dying in a jihad war is the one guaranteed way for a Muslim to get into the Islamic paradise. Even Muhammad, who did not die in battle, says somewhere that he does not know what Allah will do with him after death.
gravenimage says
True, Eduardo.
This reminds me of a story from the 1906 earthquake in San Francisco. During the terrible fires following the quake, a Catholic priest saw two screaming children, a boy and a girl, in the window of a building on fire. He was aged and had been injured in the quake, he would not be able to save them. He flagged down a rugged man walking by, and begged him to try and save the children.
The man scaled the wall, made his way over to the window, and brought down the younger girl, then did the same for the older boy, at enormous danger to himself. All the time he was loudly swearing like a sailor, including taking the Lord’s name in vain. By this time a crowd had gathered, watching the rescue.
After he saved the second boy, an older woman in the crowd lambasted him for swearing, especially in front of the children. The priest, who had a better understanding of things, said he thought that God would forgive such a courageous and compassionate man; that his bravely saving the children would no doubt wipe out any sins from his swearing.
Compare and contrast–in Islam the “good deed” that wipes out minor sins is *slaughtering innocent people*, not saving them.
Just one reason I hate Islam.

Diversity WHY. I’am perfectly happy living among my own and yes I love Italian, Mexican, Indian and many other ethnic foods but I don’t have to live with them. Most of these nationalities live in peace side by side with out killing each other. I don’t like any Muslim food and dam sure don’t need Somalians or another islamic neighbors. Thats as much or more my right than its is theirs to migrate into my neighborhood. If you diversity loving liberals want to live amongst them move to their country and enjoy the life style but don’t shove it down my throat.
