Islamic apologists in the U.S. routinely deny this, and claim that passages such as Qur’an 9:29, which Adlan quotes below, refer only to incidents in Muhammad’s life and have no relevance for twenty-first century situations. How did ‘Atiyya ‘Adlan, a leading scholar of Islam, fail to grasp this? The Islamic apologists in the West couldn’t be lying to us, could they? Inconceivable!
“International Union Of Muslim Clerics (IUMS) Member: The Jerusalem Terrorist Who Killed Seven Civilians Is A ‘Hero’ And A ‘Role Model’; The Quran Explicitly Calls To Wage Jihad For The Sake Of Allah,” MEMRI, February 6, 2023:
Egyptian scholar Dr. ‘Atiyya ‘Adlan, a member of the International Union of Muslim Clerics (IUMS), which is backed by Qatar and Turkey, published an article on the union’s website in which he praised Kahairi ‘Alqam, the perpetrator of the January 27, 2023 shooting in Jerusalem in which seven Israeli civilians were killed. ‘Adlan, who was the head of the Egyptian Salafi party Al-Islah during the Muslim Brotherhood rule in Egypt, congratulated ‘Alqam for becoming a martyr and congratulated the 72 virgins who would marry him in Paradise. ‘Alqam is not a terrorist but “a hero who presented a model of Palestinian resistance and of resistance against any occupation,” he stated, and added that the Islamic nation needs many more like him.
‘Adlan also slammed the Arab and Muslim countries that had condemned the shooting and called it an act of terror against civilians. The Israeli “settlers”, he wrote, “who came from all over the world to settle on Muslim land under the protection of an army,” are not innocent civilians, and neither their lives nor their property are protected according to the Islamic shari’a. He concluded by stressing that the Quran explicitly calls to wage jihad for the sake of Allah and by urging the Muslims to support the jihad fighters.
The following are translated excerpts from his article: [1]
“Who are the terrorists and who are the innocent civilians?… The media mouthpieces and the loud political mouths of the Zionist entity howled and moaned, as usual, and started applying cheap [terms] with abandon, calling the Palestinian resistance ‘terrorism’! Since political whoring is one of their entrenched characteristics, they defined the usurping settlers as innocent civilians… The truth is that I am not surprised by this impudence or by [the conduct of] the pro-Zionist politicians in the West, which is hostile to Islam and the Muslims. But I was bewildered by the Arab and Islamic countries that condemned [the shooting], calling it terrorism and describing it as cruel aggression against civilians.
“Is this terror? Are these civilians?! What innocent civilians are you talking about? Those who were brought from all over the world to settle on Muslim land under the protection of an army – are they innocent civilians? Are those who stole the land and expelled its residents innocent civilians? [Are you claiming that] the usurping occupiers who are attacking the sanctities [of Islam] are innocent civilians, while those who are justly defending their rights are terrorists and extremists? What yardstick are you applying? Have you forgotten that [even] getting the Israelis to withdraw to the 1967 borders is an unattainable dream, although a return to the 1948 borders is the very least [the Palestinians] are entitled to, and a basic principle of justice? Have you forgotten that every settlement is built upon the ruins of Palestinian ancestral homes[?]…
“The residents of the settlements are not civilians, for they came to our country to occupy the land and the holy places, and without them the occupation could not advance even a single step. They did not come as asylum seekers… fleeing oppression, poverty or perdition. They were motivated by faith in the Zionists’ state and support for their enterprise. They are combatants, even if they are unarmed and have never killed so much as a goat. They are soldiers even if they are not in uniform. They are soldiers and officers even if they wear no ranks or ribbons on their shoulders. Therefore, according to the Islamic shari’a, none of them are protected from being killed or having their property damaged, and there is no big difference between targeting them and targeting an Israeli soldier.
“It is not our custom to kill civilians. We are Muslims, and [killing civilians] is the way of the jahili [i.e., infidel] cultures, including the modern ones. The civilians killed by the armies of the Western cultures number in the tens of millions. As for Islam and the Muslims, they certainly do not [behave in this manner]. However, Islam – which urges [the believers] to wage jihad for the sake of Allah… and sternly warns against killing non-combatants – does not ascribe importance to civilians who, without a doubt, are [actually] combatants…
“Khairi ‘Alqam [who carried out the Jerusalem shooting] was no terrorist. He was a hero who presented a model of Palestinian resistance and of resistance to any occupation and aggression against Muslim land. This ‘lone wolf’ entered the history of glorious victories by its widest gate, and the Islamic nations sorely need many like him who will teach the occupiers a deterring lesson and cause them defeat and bereavement…
“Bless [Khairi ‘Alqam] for his martyrdom; bless the 70 members of his family for whom he will advocate on Judgement Day; and bless the 72 virgins who will have the honor of marrying him in Paradise…
“The most serious problem facing the Palestinian cause is the present situation, in which many Muslims are losing their awareness to the point of getting things backwards. We must make an effort and adhere to the explicit [Quranic verses] in order to strengthen the basic principles… Oh Muslims, the Book of Allah is before us, and it calls – explicitly, loudly and resoundingly – to wage jihad for the sake of Allah in order to make Allah’s Word supreme. If we have not yet understood the vital importance of jihad in defense of the world’s holiest land, what will we do about Allah’s words [in Quran 9:29]: ‘Fight against those who do not believe in Allah or in the Last Day and who do not consider unlawful what Allah and His Messenger have made unlawful and who do not adopt the religion of truth [i.e., Islam] from those who were given the Scripture [i.e., the Jews and Christians] – [fight them] until they give the jizyah willingly while they are humbled.’
“By Allah, we shall fulfill our duty of [endorsing] the right of our brothers, the jihad fighters, to defend their lives and property by supporting them, praying for them and helping them. Otherwise, where is our loyalty to [our fellow] believers?…”

This is why we cannot trust muslems. Quram pushes to do anything to convert infidels, including death if someone refuses to join. This is a medieval philosophy and there is no space for it in modern society.
Hoi Polloi says
Well, he was exceedingly clear. No such thing as a non-combatant qualifying for protection according to their teachings, in a land muslims claim. Or lands otherwise known as Planet Earth to the rest of us.
Jesper says
Everybody knows that the most honourable jihad is getting the daily 8 hours of sleep…

It is good when you get some of these Muslim maggots telling the truth. I wonder if the present Pope and all those other idiots who keep lying about how islam is peaceful will listen to this Muslim. islam has always been drenched in blood. It is a vicious, extremely violent religion. And even if this maggot didn’t say that islam is violent, you just have to look at the endless murderously violent Muslim terrorist attacks, day after day, to see what islam is all about. There is a ton of clear evidence there in the actions of violent Muslims throughout the world..

That Islamic terror jihad mass murders are the outcome of those jihad –minded Muslims obeying the instruction found in the Quran , which teaches in Surah 9:123. “O you who believe! Fight those of the unbelievers who are close to you and let them fond harshness in you…” Using guns and hand grenades are a very effective way of showing those non-Muslims in Paris much “harshness.” Likewise there are other places in the Quran the teach violence and killing. As in 4:89. 5:33, 9:5,111. Furthermore on Middle Eastern television it was recorded that Imam Suliman Satari said “Annihilate the Infidels… Allah count them and kill them, to the last one and don’t leave even one.” Furthermore Imam Abu Hamza Al-Masri said “What makes Allah happy? Allah is happy when Kafiers get killed. [1]
. The above words of these Imams reflect the example of Islam’s prophet and the teachings of the Quran. “Muhammad now fell upon them [the Jews] slew all the men, nine hundred of them…”[2]
Moreover, the Quran reads “When ye encounter the unbelievers strike off their heads, until ye have made great slaughter among them. …” Surah 47:4 let’s face it using firearms and bombs as the jihadists did on that specific day can sure make a greater slaughter “slaughter among them” than a sword a can.
In short, these Imams and their murderous prophet with their bloody Quran show the world what Islam really is. After all, Jesus did teach “by their fruits you will know them.” Matthew 7:20. [NKJV]
Thus are the fruits of Islam.

What is assumed by many people view “Radical Islamic Terrorism” to be a “warped” or “hijacked” form of Islam. Yet the terrible harsh reality is that the actual religion of Islam is the entire foundation of Islamic terrorism or otherwise accurately, but seldom called what is really is, which is “Muslim terrorism.”
For Islam’s “holy book” the Qur ‘an [the Koran] instructs on the use of violence and killing for the advancement of Islam.
As found in ,for example 2:191. 4:89. 5:33. 9:5,111,123. 47:4. Furthermore, it may be illustrated that if Islam is represented as a tree then the fruits then the fruits of that tree are the many brutal, violent and deadly jihad terror entities. Such as ISIS, Al Qaeda, Boko Haram, al Shabaab , Hamas, Hezbollah, P.I.J. etc.
With this statement, the Wisdom of the teachings of Jesus may, very much, apply to this subject. For Jesus taught “Ye do know them by their fruits. Do men gather grapes of thorns, or figs of thistles? Even so every good tree bringeth forth good fruit; but a corrupt tree bringeth forth evil fruit. A good tree cannot bring forth evil fruit, neither can a corrupt tree bring forth good fruit.” After saying this Jesus told them what He told them when He said “By their fruit ye shall know them.” Matthew 7:16, 17, 18,.20. [K.J.V.]
In conclusion, Islam is a corrupt tree and also a false religion, Proverbs 14:12. John 14:6. First John 2:22,23. 4:14,15. 5:12,13,20.

‘The Qur’an ‘calls – explicitly, loudly and resoundingly – to wage jihad for the sake of Allah’ – in other words, to continue making their worldwide territorial claims in the name of the pseudo-cosmic projection of the perverted collective islamic ego that they have ‘religiously’ concocted for themselves in order to justify their presumption of inherent superiority and ‘sacred’ right to global domination. The only thing that’s missing is any actual verbal claim to ‘lebensraum’, but they’re effectively doing that already wherever they choose to impose themselves and attempting to drain any local welfare system dry through excessive economic dependency (i.e., scrounging from the local population) and grossly excessive reproduction rates. The only silver lining to this particular rather nasty cloud is that whereas the Third Reich could support broadly similar aims by having the the ability to be at the front of technological advance, this motley assortment don’t appear to have been able to progress much beyond the 7th century.
OLD GUY says
It appears that if you are a muslim cleric you can voice the waging of JIHAD, “murder, rape and slavery” against non-muslims. But if you’re a non-muslim it is ISLAMOPHOBIA when you claim that islam is murdering and raping non-muslims with the blessing of Allah. Burn a Quran and muslims will want you executed, Muslim rape a young child and it’s the Childs fault. Any common sense here?
