Protecting al-Aqsa Is Every Muslim's
Responsibility

By Khalid Amayreh
This week, supremacist millenarian Jews, led by
fanatical Likud leader Moshe Feiglin tried to storm
the Haram Sharif of Jerusalem . The Talmudic rioters
held posters calling for the "purification of Temple
Mount from the enemies of Israel."
Like other Jewish fanatics, Feiglin is totally against
any prospective peaceful arrangements between Israel
and Palestinians involving "territorial compromise."
He advocates the establishment of a Talmudic theocracy
covering British mandatory Palestine , extending from
the River Jordan to the Mediterranean whereby
non-Jews, e.g. Christians and Muslims, are treated as
water-carriers and wood-hewers.
Those refusing enslavement by the "master race" or
Chosen people would be expelled. In case they
resisted, they would be banished or physically
exterminated.
In the past, Jewish leaders didn't voice their
genocidal designs as plainly as they are doing these
days. However, with powerful Jewish groups dominating
America 's politics and policies, and with Israel
becoming a powerful country politically, economically
and especially militarily, Jewish leaders, especially
those believing in the imminent advent of the Jewish
Messiah or Redeemer, no longer hide their dream of
world domination.
In days bygone, especially before the establishment of
Israel , Talmudic sages viewed the "redeemer" as a
heavenly figure who would bring salvation to mankind
and enable Jews to reclaim their status and stature as
"the Chosen people." Now, however, the Redeemer is
caricatured as an irresistible pugnacious Jewish
tyrant, an ardent Zionist and Jewish warrior-hero who
wouldn't transcend the conventional mores and bounds
of Jewish heroism. Hence, the redeemer's ultimate goal
is not really world peace, but rather enabling Jews to
enslave, control and rule the world from Jerusalem .
Even Christian evangelicals, Israel 's most ardent
supporters in the West, are not excluded from the
Jewish wrath.
Jesus is called "the Hitler of Bethlehem" and
Chesronot Shas, one of the most virulently
anti-Christian Talmudic texts, is sold in public
libraries in West Jerusalem . If you visit the
Steimatzky library, you would find the Mein Kamph-booklet
there.
In other words, Jewish millenarianism is not about
heavenly peace, it is not about a world where justice
reigns and love prevails. It is about but worldly
power, a sort of a Jewish Third Reich lasting hundreds
of years.
Hence, Jewish Messianism as taught and practiced by
the likes of Moshe Feiglin and other terrorists of
Gush Emunim has no human face let alone a human heart
and is effectively comparable to German Nazism.
Just take the word "German" out and replace it with
the word "Jewish," and you will have Jewish Messianism
or redeemism, pure and simple.
This vicious, virulent and genocidal vision lies
behind the most recent attempted storming of the Aqsa
Mosque of Jerusalem , a shrine of paramount sacredness
for hundreds of millions of people.
According to the sickening ideology of Jewish
Messianism, the redeemer would only appear if the
world is torn by tribulations, violence and bloodshed
on a massive and genocidal scale.
Thus, Feiglin and his ilk believe that attacking or
destroying or burning the Islamic house of worship of
1400 years would spark off religious wars between
Muslims and Jews, wars that would only end when the
redeemer or Jewish Messiah appeared.
It follows from this that these religious maniacs
would want to lose or miss no opportunity to trigger
violence, spill bloodshed or foment trouble. They
believe they are being instrumental to the realization
of the most important event in the history of mankind.
So, who except fools and ignoramuses, would miss this
opportunity.!!
And it doesn't matter if hundreds of thousands or even
tens of millions of people, Jews and non-Jews alike,
would perish in this conceived holocaust. The
important thing is the coming of the Messiah Ben
David, the redeemer of the Jewish people.
This is not the view of a minority of esoteric or
marginal rabbis or Talmudic sages, as spokesmen of the
Israeli government would claim to the western media.
This is the mainstream religious ideology of the bulk
of religious Zionist Jews, who more or less control
the current Israeli government.
Israel speaks about peace with Arabs and Muslims ad
nauseam. However, this talk is mostly disingenuous and
mendacious because in the final analysis what Israel
does, not what it says is what counts.
and what Israel does leaves no doubt as to her hostile
and criminal designs against the Palestinian people.
Indeed, does a country that is transferring millions
of its citizens to live on land that belongs to
another people really want peace?
The Nazis invaded and occupied France during the
Second World War, but they didn't transfer millions of
Germans to France to arrogate French land? Moreover,
Israel has since 1967 been building Jewish colonies on
the West Bank and East Jerusalem for the purpose of
driving the native Palestinians away and alter the
demographic nature f the land, which testifies to the
fact that Israel and peace are an oxymoron.
The enduring Jewish efforts to destroy the Aqsa Mosque
and Dome of the Rock are the clearest evidence that
Israel is planning to wage an all-out war against the
world's 1.6 billion Muslims. An attack on the Aqsa
Mosque is an attack on the Ka'aba in Mecca . Can any
one imagine that an attack on the Ka'aba is not
motivated by malicious ill-will and murderous hatred
for anything and everything Muslim or Islamic?
The genocidal designs against the Masjidul Aqsa simply
mean one thing: It means an overwhelming Jewish desire
to annihilate non-Jews in occupied Palestine ,
especially the native Palestinian people, from their
ancestral homeland. The Zionist rationale is simple:
Once the Aqsa Mosque disappeared, there would be no
justification for the continued presence or Muslims in
Palestine.!!
Some Jewish circles are trying to ignite the flames of
war in our region so that Israel will reap strategic
benefits. Israel strives day and night to incite the
West, particularly its guardian-ally the United States
, to wage war on Iran . The draconian sanctions
against Iran must be understood in the context of the
overall Zionist enmity to Muslim peoples.
Pro-Israeli circles are also instigating Washington
against the Arab Spring, including recently-elected
Islamic movements in Egypt and Tunisia . The same
Zionist circles have been communicating a virulent and
vindictive message to Western governments that as far
as Israel is concerned, maintaining secular but
tyrannical governments in the region in power, even if
they fill the ether with anti-Israeli rhetoric is much
preferable to Islamic democratic movements such as the
Muslim Brotherhood.
This is why Israel , not Iran or any other country,
should be viewed as Islam's and Muslim's ultimate
enemy. I am not saying that Iran is perfect, but at
the very least the Iranians are not trying to demolish
the Aqsa Mosque and ethnically cleans the Palestinians
from their ancestral homeland.
Having said that, I believe that the protection of
Islam's holy places in Jerusalem is the direct
responsibility of every Muslim under the sun. Muslims,
governments and individuals, must always do their part
in shouldering this immense responsibility.
Key Muslim governments must put this issue at the
forefront of their foreign policy priorities. Muslim
governments, especially those having diplomatic
relations with the apartheid Israeli regime, such as
Egypt, Jordan, Turkey and others are urged to
seriously raise the matter with Israeli ambassadors.
We are not talking about mere chummy chats and
diplomatic pleasantries that would take us nowhere. We
rather expect serious and strongly-worded protests
against the recurrent Zionist provocations against one
of Islam's most important holy places. Zionist
ambassadors must be given the impression that Muslim
countries can't and won't maintain diplomatic
relations with the apartheid entity while aggressions
of various forms continue unabated against Muslim holy
places.
Unfortunately, the Muslims' record in this regard is
not very encouraging. This is why Israel never really
got the impression that Muslim governments, especially
secular "Muslim" governments, don't really accord
paramount attention to the issue.
We had hoped that that the new Islamist-dominated
parliaments in both Tunisia and Egypt would at least
devote a special session to discuss Jewish threats to
the Aqsa mosque. We still hope that Islamist or
quasi-Islamist governments in the region will display
real vigilance in this regard.
I am saying this because if Muslims don't really show
the kind of concern about this matter, then who will?
Other Muslim communities around the world must play
their part as well. They should work through the media
and hold massive demonstrations, highlighting the
message that Muslims can not sit idle while their holy
places are violated and desecrated.
We have to raise our voices because the world doesn't
hear let alone listen to those who are silent or have
feeble voices; and we have to be strong because our
world has been transformed into a virtual jungle where
the strong only are respected whereas the weak is
crushed.(end)
