“Syrian Author: While The Rest Of The World Sanctifies Life, We Arabs Sanctify Death”

18

The love of death is based on Islamic texts and teachings.

Syrian author: “We have a trait that distinguishes us from all other peoples of the world, which is love of death”

“Conversely, we [Arabs] have a trait that distinguishes us from all the other peoples of the world, which is a love of death. We dream of it, regard it as a source of inspiration and think about it every day. We love death and love the dead. Instead of hoping for longevity, for [a life of] giving and loving, we say, with defeatism… ‘God, [help me] go to battle and reach my grave. This is in addition to the grand slogans we [like to chant], such as: ‘death to America,’ ‘better death than humiliation’ and ‘seek death and you shall be given  life [in the next world].’”

Khatib Badla is right. Islamic jihadis idolize murder and love death, as they frequently affirm. Boston jihad killer Dzhokhar Tsarnaev wrote: “you are fighting men who look into the barrel of your gun and see heaven.” Muslim teenage girls from Austria who traveled to Syria for jihad announced: “Death is our goal.” Boko Haram leader Abubakar Shekau said: “I’m even longing for death, you vagabond.” A Muslim child preacher taunted those he has been taught to hate most: “Oh Zionists, we love death for the sake of Allah, just as much as you love life for the sake of Satan.” Jihad mass murderer Mohamed Merah said that he “loved death more than they loved life.”

Ayman al-Zawahiri’s wife advised Muslim women: “I advise you to raise your children in the cult of jihad and martyrdom and to instil in them a love for religion and death.” And as one jihadist put it, “We love death. You love your life!” And another: “The Americans love Pepsi-Cola, we love death.” That was from Afghan jihadist Maulana Inyadullah.

This idea comes from the Qur’an: Say, “O you who are Jews, if you claim that you are allies of Allah, excluding the people, then wish for death, if you should be truthful.” (62:6)

But loving death is not natural. Loving life is.

“Syrian Author: While The Rest Of The World Sanctifies Life, We Arabs Sanctify Death,”

MEMRI, April 28, 2020:

In an article in the weekly Enab Baladi, identified with the Syrian opposition, author and journalist Khatib Badla harshly condemned the sanctification of death in Arab society. The Arab leaders, he said, have long been cultivating the ancient Islamic concept of shahada (martyrdom) and encouraging their people to die for the regime, while other governments in the world have sanctifed life and promoted the security and wellbeing of their citizens. He added that the Arab culture of death leads only to ruin and destruction, and wondered if a day will ever come when the Arabs finally embrace the culture of life.

The following are translated excerpts from his article: [1]

“Our [source of] hope is death. The life-loving nations deserve our appreciation and affection. The governments and national institutions in their countries work night and day to provide them with security, dignity and wellbeing, so they can get the most out of life, and if  a citizen is close to death, [the authorities] will mobilize and do everything they can to prolong his life, if only for a couple more hours…

“Conversely, we [Arabs] have a trait that distinguishes us from all the other peoples of the world, which is a love of death. We dream of it, regard it as a source of inspiration and think about it every day. We love death and love the dead. Instead of hoping for longevity, for [a life of] giving and loving, we say, with defeatism… ‘God, [help me] go to battle and reach my grave. This is in addition to the grand slogans we [like to chant], such as: ‘death to America,’ ‘better death than humiliation’ and ‘seek death and you shall be given  life [in the next world]’…

“For generations, the Arab leaders have encouraged their people to die, their hidden slogan being ‘die for me.’ To that end, they appropriated the concept of martyrdom from the scriptures, and started to rebuild it, emulate it and beautify it, so as to adapt it to their place and time. For example, Hafez Al-Assad, one [of the greatest] criminals in history, whose religion consisted of [sanctifying] the intelligence [apparatuses], torture, murder, destruction and usurpation, hid behind Islam and appropriated the Islamic concept of martyrdom in order to place it on the top of his regime’s agenda…

“He immediately became the chief patron of martyrdom and martyrs, and [even] opened schools for the children of martyrs that gladden the soul and warm the heart. These schools were located in fancy buildings and had the best teachers and supervisors, while ordinary schools drowned in filth, overcrowding and boredom and were poorly heated. [Assad] thus said to his soldiers: Embark on jihad and seek martyrdom, my dears. I will send you to Lebanon, to attack the national forces [there] and turn it into an annex of my own state [Syria]; and to Iraq, to fight under the American flag [a reference to Syria’s participation in the U.S.-led coalition that fought Saddam Hussein in the 1991 Gulf War], and to Hama, to kill anyone who does not obey me [a reference Hafez Al-Assad’s bloody suppression of the Muslim Brotherhood uprising in Hama in 1982]. Don’t be concerned for your children. Everything is assured them, even a father, for I am the father and commander [of all Syrians].

“The love of death has brought the people of this region much death and destruction over the years… Will there come a day when we embrace the culture of life? Perhaps there will.”

If they love death so much, then why not just end their own lives?
Or murder a MUSLIM of a different sect? That would please fake Allah.
Or maybe sup with a Muslim. You could be what is slaughered. Cannibalism is not taboo for a Muslm…

Meanwhile the Pope want you to get closer to Muslims…for his one world relgion.

Vatican’s Pontifical Council for Interreligious Dialogue
urges Catholics to participate in Ramadan iftars

MAY 3, 2020 1:00 PM BY ROBERT SPENCER

VATICAN CITY (ChurchMilitant.com) – The Pontifical Council for Interreligious Dialogue is encouraging Christians to join in the Islamic iftar ‘ritual’ meal on the occasion of the Muslim festival of Ramadan.

In a Ramadan greeting to “Muslim brothers and sisters” Friday, the Vatican dicastery called upon Christians and Muslims to “protect together” mosques and churches and quoted the prophet Isaiah 56:7 affirming that “a place of worship of any religion therefore is ‘a house of prayer.’”

For us, your Christian friends, it is a propitious time to further strengthen our relationships with you, by greeting you, meeting you on this occasion and, where possible, by sharing in an Iftar with you,” the statement read. Read his entire statement here – http://press.vatican.va/content/salastampa/it/bollettino/pubblico/2020/05/01/0257/00561.html#en

“By participating in iftars, Christians are helping celebrate an imperative to conquer and subjugate them,” he noted. “Iftar is not just a meal. It is the breaking of the Ramadan fast every evening. Ramadan is a month devoted to intensifying one’s observance of Islam and growing more righteous.”

“The Americans love Pepsi-Cola, we love death.”
At least Pepsi-Cola doesn’t whitewash the islamic death cult in their advertising — as the MF’ers at Coca-Cola did LAST Ramadan and why I’ll never buy their products again.
