"Even though they hate Christians and they believe they're infidels because they worship God or they worship the Son of God, their hatred for the Jewish people is more than their hatred for any other religion. And they truly believe if they kill a Jewish person, they will go to heaven for killing a Jewish person. They have this ideology, and I keep seeing this everywhere - in comments, in videos, and with people speaking. They think that this is a prophecy - that in order to bring the messiah, the 'mahdi' for them, they have to kill every Jew. They have to end Israel." -Sarah Idan
Why would Hamas murder Jewish people in cold blood?
Why did ISIS murder Yazidis and Assyrians and even Muslims in cold blood?
It's literally the way that they were brainwashed to follow their leaders into the road of jihad.
They see it as jihad.
If I go, if I kill for the sake of jihad and the sake of Allah, then I will go to heaven.
And it's even worse when it comes to the Jewish people because they view, listen, like the Islamists, I know their mentality.
I lived with them when I was in Iraq.
And so even though they hate Christians and they believe they're infidels because they worship God, but they worship the son of God,
their hatred for the Jewish people is more than their hatred for any other religion.
They truly believe if they kill a Jewish person, they will go to heaven for killing a Jewish person.
They have this ideology, and I keep seeing this everywhere in comments, in videos, and with people speaking.
They think that this is a prophecy that in order to bring the Messiah and Mahdi for them, they have to kill every Jew.
They have to end Israel.
Why the humiliation? I'm not even going to describe the various things that were caught on camera.
But it just seems like a kind of a step beyond killing, right?
When I posted about, for example, the Israeli women when they were being, the ones who were raped by Hamas,
and then the messages that I received and the comments saying, you are next, we will do this and that to you,
and they were very explicit in their description.
In the beginning, I couldn't understand because how can you be a Muslim, but then you excuse raping women
until I understood from reading message after message that for them, it is part of jihad to take sex slaves.
They believe that women represent honor.
So if I rape your women, then I take your honor away.
And this is what I understood because they were telling me that in their messages.
I will do this and that to you, and I'm like, what do you get out of this?
How can you hate me? How does that make sense?
But then I understood from their context and all of that, they believe that they will take your honor by that
and they will break you like spiritually and mentally.
It's very, very barbaric, very monstrous ideology.
That's just the sad reality of it.
Since we're talking about ideology, let's talk about what's happening on, well, especially on campuses in the U.S. now.
If you hear chants from the river to the sea, you know, we've heard gas the Jews.
And a lot of these people I don't even think are Islamist or necessarily even Muslim that are chanting these things.
So what's going on on campuses, it's been going on for a while now.
Basically, all these groups that are supported, I think, funded by Muslim Brotherhood and by people with a lot of money,
these are not just movements on campuses.
I went to actually one of these, one of their meetings in UCLA, and they kicked me out.
But I just wanted to observe and see who attended these meetings.
And it was people who are 40 and 50 years old.
Some of them look like they were Salafi jihadists, like the beard, no mustache, and bringing their wives and whatnot.
And I couldn't believe what I was seeing, because if this is about people on campus, who are those people that are coming to the campus?
And why are they holding these meetings in secrecy?
And why they're not allowing other students to come in, only the people who belong to the movement?
I think what they're doing is that they, sadly, they are using the pain and the tragic history of many Americans here.
And I would say mostly people on the left who support, who stand against racism and who support movements like Black Lives Matter and all of that.
Because those people, they feel they've been oppressed for a long time in the country.
So they tell them the same thing.
Guess what? We are being oppressed in Palestine by those European Jews who came from Europe.
And we share the same pain, we share the same history.
And they tell them that there is segregation, there is an apartheid.
So, sadly, they managed to convince many people, I would say, who are just full, you know, they are filled with anger.
And they want to have a cause in their life to support and to believe in.
But they haven't really spoke to people from Israel.
They've never been to Israel.
They keep shouting apartheid, apartheid.
And when they say that, I'm like, you've never been to Israel.
Because if you've been to Israel, you would know there is no apartheid.
When you see Muslim women wearing hijab, walking besides Jewish men wearing kippah, you know there is no apartheid.
But sadly, they convinced them somehow.
But it got to a really scary level right now.
Because I've been watching videos and one of them, like every time I see this image, I get so angry of this woman holding a sign that said,
We want the Khalifa back, the caliphate back, which means the Islamic State of ISIS.
They are holding this in U.S. campuses.
And women are cheering, women who are not wearing hijab, women who have full freedom here holding these signs.
Do you know what our women went through in our countries?
You have the full freedom here and you support the genocide and you support the oppression of our women?
Thank God I was not, you know, that day on campus when I saw these women because I think I would have picked a fight.
I don't think I could even contain the anger when I see women wearing whatever they want and having full freedom,
holding signs supporting Hamas, holding signs supporting radical Islamists.
They come from a place of privilege and ignorance and they are in denial.
And they need to speak to people who experienced radical Islam.
People like me, not those people who are born and raised in the United States,
and they believe that Hamas is a Palestinian freedom movement.
They need to speak to people who know Hamas, who lived with the mentality of the people of Hamas,
and we know what they stand for because we know even the name of Hamas,
It means the Islamic resistance movement.
It's not the free Palestine movement.
The same thing with Islamic Jihad. It's called the Islamic Jihad.
It's not called the free Palestine.
They do not seek to free the Palestinians.
They seek to eradicate the Jewish people.
They seek to eradicate Israel.
And then after that, they would come after Christians.
They would come after everyone because this is the mentality of radical Islam.
They want to take over the world and we keep saying that.
And when we say that, we get labeled as Islamophobes.
And we are just fed up at this moment.
But I hope after what's going on right now, they see how the Jews are being attacked in the U.S.,
in Europe, in the airports, everywhere.
I hope that somehow they will wake up and finally listen to us.
I am Muslim. I just don't believe in radical Islam because radical Islam had me displaced from my country.
For two years, I had to live in Syria when radical Islamists took my home
because we were not the right kind of Muslims for them.
This is what they don't understand.
They've lived their whole life in the U.S. and they believe they know what oppression is.
So I think it's time that people like me and Muslims who really know the danger of radical Islam,
it's time for us to speak and we need to speak out and we need to look after the Jewish people.
We need to tell them that we are with them, we will support them because we both share the same fight.
If they come after the Jews, they will come after every single one of us who will not bow down to them and obey.
