By Raymond Ibrahim, AMERICAN THINKER
Donald Trump’s latest politically incorrect comment concerning Islam is much truer than most know.
After being asked last week on CNN if he believed the West was at war with Islam, the Republican presidential candidate simply said:
I think Islam hates us. There’s something there that — there’s a tremendous hatred there. There’s a tremendous hatred. We have to get to the bottom of it. There’s an unbelievable hatred of us.
While millions of Americans undoubtedly agree with Trump’s assertions — at least those who have eyes and ears to see and hear with — few realize that this “tremendous hatred” is not a product of grievances, political factors, or even an “extremist” interpretation of Islam; rather, it is a direct byproduct of mainstream Islamic teaching.
According to the ancient Islamic doctrine of wal’a wa bara’, or “loyalty and enmity” — which is well grounded in Islamic scriptures, well sponsored by Islamic authorities, and well manifested all throughout Islamic history and contemporary affairs — Muslims must hate and oppose everyone who is not Muslim, including family members.
Koran 60:4 is the cornerstone verse of this doctrine and speaks for itself: “You [Muslims] have a good example in Abraham and those who followed him, for they said to their people, ‘We disown you and the idols which you worship besides Allah. We renounce you: enmity and hate shall reign between us until you believe in Allah alone’” (Koran 60:4, emphasis added).
Koran 58:22 praises Muslims who fight and kill their own non-Muslim family members: “You shall find none who believe in Allah and the Last Day on friendly terms with those who oppose Allah and His Messenger — even if they be their fathers, their sons, their brothers, or their nearest kindred.”
According to Ibn Kathir’s mainstream commentary on the Koran, this verse refers to a number of Muslims who slaughtered their own non-Muslim kin (one slew his non-Muslim father, another his non-Muslim brother; a third — Abu Bakr, the first revered caliph of Islamic history — tried to slay his non-Muslim son.) As Ibn Kathir explains, the continuation of verse 58:22 demonstrates that Allah was immensely pleased by their unwavering zeal for his cause.
(Koran 58:22 in full reads: “You shall find none who believe in Allah and the Last Day on friendly terms with those who oppose Allah and His Messenger—even if they be their fathers, their sons, their brothers, or their nearest kindred. Allah has inscribed the faith in their very hearts, and strengthened them with a spirit from Himself. He will admit them to gardens watered by running streams, where they shall dwell forever. Allah is well pleased with them and they are well pleased with Him. They are the party of Allah, and surely it is the party of Allah that shall triumph!”
According to Ibn Kathir’s commentary: “It was said that the phrase from the Most High — ‘even if they be their fathers’—that it was revealed about Abu Ubayda when he slew his father at [the battle of] Badr; ‘their sons’ was about Abu Bakr [Muhammad’s successor and first caliph] when he intended to slay his son, Abd al-Rahman; ‘their brothers’ was about Mus’ab bin Umayr, who slew his brother, Ubayd bin Umayr; ‘or their kin’ was about Omar, who slew one of his relatives. Also Hamza, Ali, and Ubayda bin al-Harith: They slew Utba, Sheeba, and al-Walid bin Uitba [their kin] at that battle. Allah knows [best]. Moreover, when the Messenger of Allah consulted with the Muslims regarding the captives of Badr, Abu Bakr advised that they should pay ransom, thereby enabling the Muslims to grow stronger. Also, since they [captives] were cousins and relatives, perhaps Allah Most High would have eventually guided them. But Omar said: ‘This goes against my thinking, O Messenger of Allah. Let me slay so-and so (a relative of Omar), and let Ali [slay] Aquil [Ali’s brother], and so-and-so [slay] so-and-so—so that Allah may know that there is no love in our hearts for the idolaters. ..’ This is the whole story.” Excerpted from Ayman al-Zawahiri’s “Loyalty and Enmity,” The Al Qaeda Reader, pgs., 63-115.)
In fact, verses that support the divisive doctrine of “loyalty and enmity” permeate the Koran (see also 4:89, 4:144, 5:51, 5:54, 6:40, 9:23, and 60:1). There is one caveat, captured by Koran 3:28: when Muslims are in a position of weakness, they may pretend to befriend non-Muslims, as long as the hate carries on in their hearts. (Read here for several recent examples of Muslims living for years at peace and in friendship with non-Muslims, but then violently turning on them once they became stronger.[For more on Islamic sanctioned forms of deception, read about tawriya, and taysir.])
Because enmity for non-Muslims is so ironclad in the Koran, mainstream Islamic teaching holds that Muslim men must hate — and show that they hate — even their non-Muslim wives, for no other reason than that they are “infidels.”
If Muslims must hate those closest to them — including fathers, sons, brothers, and wives — simply because they are non-Muslims, is there any surprise that so many Muslims hate foreign “infidels” who live oceans away — such as Americans, who are further portrayed throughout the Islamic world as trying to undermine Islam?
Thus, even our best Muslim friends and allies — such as Saudi Arabia and Qatar — are on record calling on all Muslims to hate us. According to a Saudi government-run website, Muslims must “oppose and hate whomever Allah commands us to oppose and hate, including the Jews, the Christians, and other mushrikin [non-Muslims], until they believe in Allah alone and abide by his laws, which he sent down to his Prophet Muhammad, peace and blessings upon him.”
In short, Trump’s assertion that “Islam hates us” is demonstrable by the plain words and teachings of the Koran, by the plain words and teachings of modern Islamic clerics, and by the past and ongoing actions of Muslims around the world.
But, as usual, instead of discussing these disturbing facts, the powers that be are more determined to portray Trump as the one who hates.

@ bernard ross:
Bernard, please go to chit-chat. I posted something I received this afternoon. It is funny.
babushka Said:
so now you tell us why cruz really voted for the iran deal, he is an establishment stooge getting his masters the cash they require…
interesting how cruz, obama and the gop establishment were not only on the same page with the TPP but also with Iran…..both non Trump platforms.
Alas, for you there is no hope.
Not even a faint glimmering.
Bernard, this is actually a coherent comment.
It is inaccurate – the GOP supported the Iran deal because its Fortune 500 benefactors want to get their covetous hands on the $150 billion.
But it is coherent.
Well done.
I now have a faint glimmering of hope for you.
Keli-A Said:
I think this link may be in error, or I dont understand it.
I think that the gop gave obama the iran deal in return for his not vetoing the TPP…. the TPP is what the GOP establishment donors are most interested in…the TPP would not normally be considered a dem agenda or platform.
babushka Said:
Your guy is full of shit just another political bloviator
bloviator
1. A public figure, such as a politician or an actor, who makes outlandish, strident statements on issues, thinking that the average man will care about their opinions.
2. Someone who pontificates about issues of which they are uninformed, yet pretend to be expert.
3. Pompous blowhard, using their celebrity to speak about topics on which they are totally unqualified.

Pity California should be really separated fro the rest of America especiall the Southern half. I had my choice of Ca or France a tough decision I think France to be the better more sane choice….. California is where all the deviants idiots and weirdos reside and are atrtracting more each day… They are dragging the rest of America down into their filth. I lived there and left skid marks best decision I ever made. We can now blame accoerding to you Cruz for destroying America 😛

babushka Said:
yeh, you way overblow the “achievement”… kinda like lauding a dentist for filling your teeth…. wasnt that the least he was supposed to get done? Since there were only two important things he was supposed to accomplish and one was a complete screw up and the other ok……. I think trump will get more done that i want… tpp and hb1 not included. Cruz never mentioned muslims like trump so I dont know what he can do for Israel. Trump has already made a big contribution by focusing negative attention on muslims. A heightened focus on muslims in immigration AND in profiling, funding terror, funding stealth sharia… is probably the most important issue. Cruz either is too afraid to mention muslims or doesn’t beleive they are a problem… either one is no good. We need someone who can go beyond the PC and special interest groups who prevent us from dealing with the problem, the muslims.

Haaaaaaaaaaaaa Just duh facts babbsie
Cuz and Bush read and be ashamed of Ur self Haaa 🙂
Roger Stone reports, Cruz is really a Bush… just with a different last name:
Neil Bush, the son of President George H. W. Bush, who defrauded U.S. taxpayers out of $1.5 billion dollars in the savings and loan scam, and later peddled influence for the Chinese government, (who plied him with Chinese prostitutes) has formally endorsed Senator Ted Cruz for president. You can’t make this stuff up.
This endorsement says much.
Especially when that accomplishment prevented the national electoral map from replicating California, where leftist Democrat lunatics have permanent monopoly control over state government. All Cruz did was spare the republic from becoming France.
Wrong.
Cruz did not co-author the Corker Cardin Amendment.
Lay off the Paul Masson.

babushka Said:
Cruz is a duplicitious fraud. Case in point: “Why did Ted Cruz give Obama executive action on Iran?” It’s the single-most vital terror-related issue of our lifetime – and Cruz voted to do the opposite of what every American wanted done with the deal. Ted Cruz not only voted in favor of it happening that way, but he actually co-authored the language of the legislation that made it all possible. Why didn’t he raise righteous indignation (holy hell, if you will) over letting the leader of the free world use his pen and phone to give the world’s biggest exporter of terror their $150 billion dollar signing bonus, along with the fast track to nuclear weapons? http://www.onenewsnow.com/perspectives/kevin-mccullough/2015/09/14/why-did-ted-cruz-give-obama-executive-action-on-iran
babushka Said:
She was mine damn good one too…
Per the NY Times:
If Mr. Trump maintains his current level of support in the remaining races, he would almost certainly secure the nomination.
He needs to win Arizona (where he is favored), NY (where he is favored) and California (where there are many highly educated voters who could vote for Kasich). If he does not win all three he will not get to the 1237.
babushka Said:
good catch… typing too quickly, obviously 56%
babushka Said:
yes, I suppose “coordinating’ a single accomplishment can be considered presidential to some
babushka Said:
lol, Trump was not working for me then… I expect he will use the same diligence when we hire him as he has in the past… unlike cruz who was sent out for the coffee and donuts and then dropped the coffee… with corker. Please, they are on two different achievement levels…. there is no comparison… one does little boys work and the other a mans work. Why do you think that CEO owners in big business dont run for that office, they can do much better outside without kowtowing and kissing everyone’s butt like a step and fetchit. Trump didnt need the job, he obviously is doing it out of principle and sympathy for the american people who are stuck with the usual mediocre crap put up by the establishment who can be bought for a dime before their first job. Cruz is no leader, has never been a leader of anything major or real… a senator is just a talking head who votes and a puppet of his donors.
Bear Klein Said:
the entire article is a hit piece… its just another part of the massive establishment effort to oust Trump… that alone should wake everyone up.
BTW he did not mention that last time Kasich won Ohio with a 30 point lead which I believe was halved with Trump. All these hit pieces keep underestimating Trump for a reason. They keep hoping that they will convince voters that Trump cant win… first the GOP primary and then the general. I would not bank on their bought BS.
Cruz coordinated with House conservatives to kill the Gang Of Eight amnesty scam. Had he not done that, tens of millions of new Democrats would have registered for the 2016 election and the Democrats would have gained perpetual control of the federal government. House conservatives credited Cruz for this leadership as they endorsed him for president.
So all he did was save the country while Trump was subsidizing those trying to destroy it. In other words, I admit…that you do not follow current events.
By any chance, was honeybee your grade school math teacher?
babushka Said:
hence 66% of non trump supporters will vote for trump.
BTW did your figure include only gop?
babushka Said:
In other words… you admit… that he accomplished nothing.
In a choice between a lawyer from the legal dept and a CEO of many ventures over 50 years its a no brainer… especially since he agrees with what I want. Trump is in the world of doers… cruz and rubio are talkers.. hence not bad at talking.
I cant imagine why someone with so little accomplishment can be the president of the USA… but then the electorate voted a community organizer named hussein to be their pres after 911, so what do I know?
babushka Said:
obviously you describe yourself… If the most right wing Israeli PM has no interest in YS and cannot once in 7 years say “JEWISH SETTLEMENT IN YS IS LEGAL AND LEGITIMATE” why should I waste my vote on those who shipped out jobs production and capital for 3 decades to china? I wasted it twice on the GOP for Israel until I now see that Israel under its most right wing gov is obviously facilitating giving up YS and the arab towns around Jerusalem. Even Bernie wont seek more than that. BB wants to let the pals start supervising themselves again anyway, BB thinks its the Jews that need jailing not the anti semites. I dont see what Sanders would want that Israel is not already willing to part with. Israel does not want annexation or transfer of arabs. In fact the only american candidate who mentions a need to be without muslims is Trump. Did cruz achieve anything in gov for Israel? I cannot vote for those who want to continue the transfer of american wealth to the communists while referring to it as free market. The TPP is the death knell… corporations that shipped it all out want a law that allows them to keep importing goods to the US without tariff…. in the guise of being a free trade agreement. Thats because they can then move everything out while retaining the market…. only sanders and Trump are against the TPP
BB appeared to be arguing and struggling for right wing advances all along but we saw that in each case their was no plan b when he lost the arguments….labeling, euro building, the mount, the muslim anti semitism… all big dramas that ended with the other side getting and BB doing nothing… the arguments were BS just to make it appear that he is in a big struggle with everyone. A PM arguing on major issues repeatedly losing and never having a plan b other than accepting the bad news is either a fake or an incompetent fool… I dont see BB as a fool… he is a brilliant but obvious player. I am now unsure that even the big iran argument was not a fake, as he also again had no plan b.
Since you have invoked the standard of reading resumes – which prioritizing as a hiring criterion is mindlessly myopic – what had Lincoln accomplished? When your prerequisite disqualifies the greatest president ever, your evaluation process should be modified.
Bear Klein Said:
I told you why but you ignored it as usual:
It matters not who is the american pres because even bernie will not require more than what is going on right now under BB
muslim abuse of jews, verboten jewish settlement in YS outside the ghetto boundaries, incarceration of jewish dissenters, more muslim anti semitism than france…
No american pres will be worse than BB so it matters not
As BB is the most right wing gov to be expected in Israel I see no problem as BB is already ready to give everthing that might be demanded, I beleive it is already agreed which is why BB does everything to prevent Israelis from settling or even wanting YS. BB will have no problem giving the arab neighborhoods of Jerusalem , As for those left of BB, whats the real difference? BB does not want YS outside the blocks and any american pres will agree with that.. Israelis dont want the arab neighborhoods of Jerusalem
It is your leadership you need to complain about, not foreigners…BB agreed with the euros to let them build illegally the last 7 years…. do you beleive that he did not agree with them and just found out about it…. why hasnt any of them been sent home persona non grata for diplomats and fined or jailed for non diplomats. BB keeps facilitating the euros because he has decided the boundaries….american presidents are not the problem, its irrelevant, they demand no more than BB is giving. forget rhetoric and drama.
babushka Said:
no sophistry, just thought it was funny that you posted it.. did you remember to subtract all those millions of manufacturing jobs gone… did you forget the 2 bushes?
still if you add the dem jobs and the gop jobs since carter you will see reagan, bush and dubya are far below… and since reagan started opening to china and removing benefits from peoples jobs we have many new part time jobs at walmart and burger king that require food stamps.
babushka Said:
what has cruz accomplished.. it is like promoting the file clerk to CEO…. has he ever done anything other than talk… what else has he accomplished of significance? Ill take the one who is CEO of many ventures than the one somewhere down in the legal dept.
If it turns out as it appears, nominating Trump means electing Hillary. There is nothing “better” about that.
Soooo depressing. Where is my mood-elevating music?

It’s Still Not Clear That Donald Trump Will Get a Majority of Delegates
http://fivethirtyeight.com/features/its-still-not-clear-that-donald-trump-will-get-a-majority-of-delegates/
So if it turns out as it appears a vote for Trump is certainly better than vote for Hillary in the general election.
Like Moses delivering the Lord’s Commandments unto the Jews, the Trumpoids intend to deliver unto Hillary a fifty state sweep:

In fairness to ross, he is hardly the only one who values the survival of Israel less than casting a petulant protest vote. I hope that Israeli leadership is busily preparing for disaster because disaster is almost certainly on the way. Once Eva Braun crushes Trump, the Israelis will soon be yearning for the good old days of Barack Obama.
Never forget, Hillary Clinton’s college hero was Yasser Arafat. Of all the people in the world, the one she idolized was the most prolific murderer of Jews since Hitler. And thanks to the overaged children who are ignorantly providing the GOP nomination to a guy with a general electorate approval rating of 31%, Arafat’s worshipful fan will soon be positioned to make his dreams come true.

Manufacturing jobs. Reagan oversaw the creation of 13.6 million jobs. Nice sophistry on your part, though.
Cruz royally screwed up. He has seen the error of his ways and pledged to invalidate the deal. Conversely, your orange hero with the bad weave and laughably undersized “hands” refuses to do so.
@ babushka:
now that you posted the news that the GOP conservative economic agenda under Reagn bush and dubya lost the most massive number of jobs…. are you changing your views?
What about on Ted, who had the opportunity on Iran and then voted to give obama the go ahead …. such a simple decision on the most important issue facing Ted…. and he CHOKED!!!! Ted dropped the ball when he was given the chance…DUH????
See, 2 facts again which you keep avoiding and instead post ad hominem. Did those 2 facts make you dumber or did reality blow you over?
So I used to make accurate statements.
Before Trump knocked me out of kilter.
Way back when.
Last week.

LOL, you haven’t dealt in facts for a while now, I think Trump has knocked you out of kilter… you used to make accurate statements and now you just deal in ad hominem.
I loved when you posted that graph which showed that since 1980 Reagan Bush and dubya accounted for the most massive losses in Jobs and afterwards Yamit posted the details on Lying Ted, who had one little job to do in the senate and ended up totally screwing it up with the corker amendment. See how that’s done… just the facts, maam.
@ babushka:
read again… the source is the Economist yougov poll
Speaking of sources that lack credibility, Drudge is Trump’s salivating lap dog. The site reads as though it is edited by Melania after she has just emptied several bottles of Chateau Lafite Laujac 2009 immediately prior to guzzling a six pack of vintage Billy Beer.
And I don’t aspire to be “taken seriously” by the automatons of a charlatan.
@ babushka:
LOL, you must start quoting other sources to be taken seriously, from your article:
whereas today from Drudge:
The question then becomes why you believe electing Clinton president will make America great again.
Twice as bad as Hillary Clinton on the honesty metric.
That’s like being twice as bad as Jeffrey Dahmer on the etiquette metric.
BR, perhaps even more significant is that 74% of Republican voters say Trump will be he Republican candidate for president in this year’s national election.
By the way. Both you and I are violating Ted’s Israpundit rules for cross-topic stuff that really belongs in the Chit-chat column.
But I’m happy with Trump in any case. I’ve been waiting a long damned time for somebody to make America great again.

I never before have read such phrases and belief-based ideologies from the Moslem Koran as Raymond Ibrahim has translated for English-speaking use. The non-Moslem world and its peoples should be warned about the danger of have such people in their midst, considering that their mentality most probably is soaked in the depths of hatred.
More than ever, in the face of such mounting danger, I want Trump to lead this country. He is the only candidate who even thinks about mounting a national defense against this world-wide threat. All the others seem to be waling around as though they were lightly chloroformed, to borrow a phrase that I once read in one of Saul Bellow’s books.
We may not be able to save the world from such a horror. But we must make this country safe irrespective of the rest of the world. Religions frequently modify themselves through the ages. But Islam seems to have developed a means of rejecting any such reformations and always devolves back to the most hateful aspects of Wahhabism.
