One of the world's most important Islamic mosques is the Al Aqsa mosque in Jerusalem. It is considered the religion's holiest site outside of Mecca in Saudi Arabia. From it, on two of the mosque's two You Tube channels, are sermons, proclamations, instructions, and prophecies, which are regarded as law by Muslims everywhere in the world. They are in Arabic of course, but are regularly translated into English by the Middle East Media Research Institute. What emits from Al Asqa, are a steady stream of calls for jihad and martyrdom, venomous attacks on Jews, Christians and other 'unbelievers,' plus praise for al Qaeda, ISIS, and other jihadist groups.
Typically, in a January 16th sermon, Sheikh Abu Taqi Al-Din Al Dari Called for jihad against the West, Europe, and for the Islamic State to "Conquer Rome, Washington and Paris." On July 24th, Sheikh Ahmad Al-Dweik said that "The caliphate will come to be, and the nuclear bomb will be produced, (it) will fight the U.S., will bring it down," and "will eliminate the West in its entirety." On July 6th, 2015, Sheikh Abu Abdalah declared that from, "The land of the Prophet's nocturnal journey, (Jerusalem), armies will set out to conquer Rome, Constantinople, Washington and London." In an October 27th address at Al Asqa, Sheikh Khaled Al-Maghrabi called for the annihilation of Jews all over the world, justifying such by quoting from the Hadith, "Oh Muslim there is a Jew behind me, come and kill him." On November 28, 2014, cleric Omar Abu Sara said the Jews have "Every single vile trait," and are the "most evil creatures to have walked this earth. It was the Jews whom Allah turned into apes and pigs." Such garbage is transmitted on a virtual daily basis from the mosque's You Tube channels.
Such sermonizing and hatred is not limited to Al Asqa. According to a Wall Street Journal column on February 3rd, 2016, such hatred and extremism "Is occurring in mainstream and leading mosques world wide." When Obama was going to visit a U.S. mosque, he called for Americans to, "Celebrate the contributions Muslim Americans make to our nation and reaffirm the importance of religious freedom to our way of life." Is it any wonder that Donald Trump called for a temporary ban on importation of Muslims? Many European nations will not tolerate such sermonizing. In 2014, an imam from Denmark spoke in Berlin, and faced criminal charges after calling for the killing of Jews, saying "Count them and kill them to the very last one." He was fined 1320 euros. Similar fines and criminal charges have been levied for similar extemporizing on the air waves or in person.
It's all very easy to say that U.S. Muslims are 'peace loving,' and that the Muslim religion, 'is a religion of peace.' Are American Muslims different than other Muslims? Not any more than American Christians or American Jews have different beliefs than Christians or Jews in other parts of the world, it seems to me. Peace loving Muslims are a fiction, as anyone watching TV news or reading a newspaper can verify. Do Christians make car bombs which kill dozens every day? Do the Jews attack Muslims or do Muslims attack Jews in Israel? I cannot see how such a viscous religion, which urges murder of all Jews as well as 'unbelievers' in general, and which religion blesses those who kill with bombs, bullets, and all destructive means known to man, can be called 'peaceful.' How can a religion be called peace loving, when murderers of 'unbelievers' are rewarded with instant paradise and virgins? People who call the Muslim religion 'peace loving,' obviously have not read the Koran or Quran! Muslim ISIS beheadings, all sorts of unmentionable violence, rape, hideous treatment of women and plural marriages, are as common in the Muslim world, as is the sun rising every morning. Peaceful indeed.
