What Old Testament Bible Study is mentioned
twelve times in one book of the Bible, is given
by seven different people and is almost never
given today?
That Jesus is the Messiah of Israel! How certain
can we be that Jesus is the Messiah?
Review some of the major passages in the Tanakh
(the Old Testament) which predict and describe
the Scriptural expectations to be fulfilled by
the Messiah of Israel. This study will also take
a mathematical analysis of a small sampling from
the more than 300 predictions concerning the
Jewish Messiah.
This classic study was redone by Chuck at the
end of 2011.
PA's highest religious authority, the Mufti, at Fatah event:
Muslims' destiny is to kill Jews
Resurrection will come only after Jews are killed by Muslims
Moderator at Fatah event:
"Our war with the descendants of the apes and pigs (i.e., Jews)
is a war of religion and faith"
by Itamar Marcus and Nan Jacques Zilberdik
Last week, the principal Palestinian Authority religious leader, the Mufti Muhammad Hussein, presented the killing of Jews by Muslims as a religious Islamic goal. At an event celebrating the 47th anniversary of the founding of Fatah, he cited the Hadith (Islamic tradition attributed to Muhammad) saying that the Hour of Resurrection will not come until Muslims fight the Jews and kill them:
"The Hour [of Resurrection] will not come until you fight theJews.
The Jew will hide behind stones or trees.
Then the stones or trees will call:
'Oh Muslim, servant of Allah, there is a Jew behind me, come and kill him.'"
Palestinian Media Watch reported regularly during the PA terror campaign (Intifada, 2000-2005) on the repeated use of this Hadith by PA clerics on official PA TV to motivate Palestinians to terror attacks, preaching that Muslims had an Islamic obligation to kill Jews. The fact that the Mufti quotes this now indicates that this may have remained part of the PA's religious establishment's teachings, even though it is less frequently promoted on PA TV.
The last time official PA TV broadcast a sermon during which this Hadithcalling to kill Jews was quoted was in 2010.
The years of PA promotion of killing Jews and PA religious leaders' citing this Hadith to justify it, may have contributed to the high acceptance of it in PA society. A poll sponsored by the Israel Project last year found that 73% of Palestinians "believe" this Hadith. [July 2011, Greenberg Quinlan Rosner.]
The moderator who introduced the Mufti at the Fatah event last week reiterated another Islamic belief; that the Jews are the descendants of apes and pigs:
"Our war with the descendants of the apes and pigs (i.e., Jews)
is a war of religion and faith."
The Mufti did not distance himself from this hate statement that Islam is in a religious war with the Jews, but added to it that Islam's goal is to kill Jews.
There are numerous collections of Hadith, some of which are not accepted as reliable. However, the Mufti stressed that the Islamic belief that Jews will be killed by Muslims as a precursor to Resurrection, is an authentic Islamic belief because it appears in "the reliable" and trusted Hadith collections of Al-Bukhari and Muslim.
This Islamic tradition asserts that as the killing of Jews will progress, Jews will hide behind stones and trees, but even they will expose the Jews and call out: "Oh Muslim, servant of Allah, there is a Jew behind me, come and kill him." One tree however, called the Gharqad, will hide the Jews from the Muslims. The Mufti in his talk at the Fatah event claimed that in response to this Islamic belief, Israelis have been planting Gharqad trees around their cities and towns, in order to have a place to hide from the Muslims who will be coming to kill them.
This is not the first time the Mufti has incited to hatred against Jews in the name of Islam. In a sermon at the Al-Aqsa Mosque in 2010, he preached that the Jews are the "enemies of Allah."
The Mufti is appointed by PA Chairman Mahmoud Abbas. He voiced this latest hate speech, that Jews are to be killed by Muslims, at an official Fatah celebration. Abbas is also the Chairman of Fatah.
The following is an excerpt from the Fatah ceremony broadcast on PA TV:
Moderator at Fatah ceremony:
"Our war with the descendants of the apes and pigs (i.e., Jews)
is a war of religion and faith.
Long Live Fatah! [I invite you,] our honorable Sheikh."
PA Mufti Muhammad Hussein comes to the podium and says:
"47 years ago the [Fatah] revolution started. Which revolution? The modern revolution of the Palestinian people's history. In fact, Palestine in its entirety is a revolution, since [Caliph] Umar came [to conquer Jerusalem, 637 CE], and continuing today, and until the End of Days. The reliable Hadith (tradition attributed to Muhammad), [found] in the two reliable collections, Bukhari and Muslim, says:
"The Hour [of Resurrection] will not come until you fight the Jews.
The Jew will hide behind stones or trees.
Then the stones or trees will call:
'Oh Muslim, servant of Allah, there is a Jew behind me, come and kill him.'
Except the Gharqad tree [which will keep silent]."
Therefore it is no wonder that you see Gharqad [trees]
surrounding the [Israeli] settlements and colonies.."

Islam Rising: A
Call To One
World Domination
DVD
Are you ready for a
world dominated by
Islamic law? That is
the message being
proclaimed in various
conference locations
around the world in
recent weeks.
Conferences have already
taken place in the US,
Indonesia, The
Netherlands, Australia
and now the UK. The
recent conference in
Sydney, Australia (see
the conference trailer
here)
was a wake up call to
many that the current
revolutions in the Arab
world are viewed by some
as an opportunity for
Islamic Revival on a
global scale. Although
much of the future of
Tunisia, Egypt, Yemen,
Syria and Libya remain
to be seen - there is
clearly a desire by many
to see a greater Islamic
role -
just look at Egyptian
poll numbers
Recently, the
international political
group Hizb ut-Tahrir met
for the “UK Khilafah
Conference” in London (see
the conference trailer
here).
During the gathering,
meetings focused upon
ways in which a
caliphate can be
instituted. A caliphate
is an Islamic state that
draws its authority
from, and is based upon,
Sharia law.
Hizb ut-Tahrir, which
stands for the “Party of
Liberation” in English,
is an international
political organization
that seeks one, unified
Muslim state that is
dominated by Muslim law.
This particular group
stands firmly planted
against the United
States, accusing the
Super Power of
colonization, among
other offenses.
Additionally, the group
would like to see
Israel, which it deems
“illegal,” be
dismantled.
As
increasing calls for
Islamic revival and
revolution ring out
across the globe (see
here)
we thought it timely to
take an in-depth look at
the teachings of Islam
and what it means for us
as Christians and
non-Muslims in general.
This DVD is three years
in the making and who
better to warn us of
what to expect from
Islam than former
practicing Muslims (and
terrorists) who are now
Christians.
Islam Rising: A Call To
One World Domination
is
a fast moving
presentation that
powerfully unravels the
complexity of Islam as
not only a growing
political force, but an
overall, engulfing
legal, economic,
military, dietary,
social and religious
system of life.
Four forty-minute
programs reveal Islam's
founder and prophet
Muhammad, his teachings,
Islam's 1400 year
blood-thirsty history,
Islam's contemporary
threat and growing
impact in the West, and
its plan for world
domination - Ummah.
Renowned authors,
authorities on Islam,
and former Muslim
terrorists, Kamal Saleem,
Walid Shoebat and
Zachariah Anani present
eye-opening information.
Three women: former
Muslim and Author Nonie
Darwish, Arah journalist
and Author Brigitte
Gabriel, and former
convert to Islam, Author
W.L.Cati, convey their
rich and sobering
perspectives.
Lecturers and Authors
Dr. Ron Carlson, Dr.
William Wagner and Dr.
Peter Hammond explain
the Qur'an's teachings
on holy "jihad" war,
abuse of women, children
and "infidels",
polygamy, slavery and
cruel and barbaric
requirements towards
Jews, Christians and all
who will not submit to
Allah.
In a 25-minute bonus
program Kamal Saleem,
raised a terrorist from
childhood, tells his
remarkable story from
promoting Islam to
becoming an Ambassador
for Jesus Christ - AND
W.L. Cati, Author of
"Married to Muhammed"
tells of her 14 years in
Islam in the USA feeling
like "a foreigner in my
own home" until one day
she read the Bible and
her life was changed.
"If there is any one
video to own to grasp
the essentials of Islam
and the threat it poses
to the non-Islamic
world, this is it.
Riveting, powerful and
profoundly sobering."

Apologetics Group
