QUOTES
"We will have peace with the Arabs when they love their children more than they hate us"
-Golda Meir
"Kill those who join other gods with Allah wherever you find them; besiege them, seize them, lay in wait for them" (Sura 9:5).
"Jihad is a religious duty imposed by Muslim law for the spread of Islam ... Believers are under obligation to wage war against all unbelievers"
- Encyclopedia Britannica
"Yes of course this is about Palestine, cause that's the core issue in the whole world. That's what drives the Muslims to kill each other in Afghanistan, to fight the Iran/Iraq war, invade Kuwait, butcher each other in Syria, and Lebanon, to terrorize, India, Russia, Serbia, the Philippine Islands, Nigeria, Kenya, Indonesia, and Macedonia. Did I leave anywhere else out where Muslims are dying for Palestine?
Like the Nazis before, you Arabs believe that everyone is Jew obsessed. Unable to figure out why you can't succeed and coexist on this planet you blame the Jew. While you Pals starve, die, and rant about the Jews your oil rich brothers squander the Arab inheritance on blonde whores and old military junk. Instead of world class cities and culture you have Jihad and raw sewage in your streets because the Jews right?"
"Break Your Treaties with Infidels Whenever You Like!"
If you fear treachery from any group [of non-Muslims], throw back [their covenant] to them, [so as to be] on equal terms [with them]. For Allah loves not the treacherous. Let not the unbelievers [all non-Muslims] think that they can get the better [of Muslims]. They [non-Muslims] will never frustrate [you]. (Koran 8:58-59)
