Former PLO Terrorist Blames Muslim Fanaticism, Not Israel The Record - NewsIssue: 11/11/04 By Adina Levine  

In an event sponsored by Harvard Law School Alliance for Israel, Harvard UniversityGraduate Student Friends of Israel, Stand With Us, Hasbarah Fellowships andJewish Community Relations Council of Greater Boston, among others, former PLOTerrorist Walid Shoebat spoke about what made him a terrorist and his ultimaterealization of the fallacy of his actions on November 8th.

"The issue is not the issue of occupation," asserted Shoebat. "The issue is theoccupation of the minds of the youth. The issue is hatred and anti-Semitism. There isno other explanation for this."

Born in Bethlehem, Shoebat explained that his family and his community had never

thought of themselves as Palestinians, but as Jordanians. Reflecting on hischildhood, Shoebat asserted that he was told that a Jew was a dog before he evenknew what a Jew was. He believed that Jews had type AB blood, and they had typeO - that they share their blood, while a Jew doesn't. His father, whose life was savedby a Jewish doctor, said that there was no prayer for the doctor who had saved hislife, reiterating the old phrase "I knock at the doors of heaven with Jewish skulls."

"You might think I'm a freak, that this doesn't happen in civilized countries," statedShoebat. "But myth was taught as fact and we were like sponges believingeverything we were taught."

He was told that the Holocaust never happened, that it was a ploy that the Jewsmade up in order to win sympathy from the world. During Yom Hashoa, he recallswatching the documentaries on television while eating popcorn and laughing. Hebelieved that the graphic scenes of dead bodies were all enacted by the Jewishcontrol of the media.

"We felt the Jews have no shame, that they will take their clothes off to make up thisplight called Zionism," asserted Shoebat. "No one ever told me the Holocaust was areality."

From such a society, Shoebat claimed, it was no wonder he became a terrorist.

"What did you expect me to do?" he asked. "What product did you expect from sucha system?"

As a terrorist, Shoebat stoned Jews from a perch above the Western Wall, almostplanted a bomb before he saw Arab children nearby, stoned an Israeli who wasattempting to get help for a child that he had hit with his car. His cousin was sent toexplode a bomb in Ben Yehuda before he was killed by Israelis.

"It took me twenty years to realize who killed my cousin," said Shoebat. "My cousin

was not killed by the Israelis, my cousin was killed by the hate pushers. Terrorism islike a drug - you push it on the youth."

 Shoebat contrasted the religious frenzy he was taught - that the community had aresponsibility to kill as many Jews as possible - with the reactions of Israelis. Herecalled a man from his community who was imprisoned by Israelis because the manhad sliced off his daughter's neck because she was suspected of adultery. The

notion Shoebat could not understand, however, was why the entire communitydonated money to bail him out. He also compared the community reaction to theIsraeli soldiers who were killed in Ramallah - how the community was cheering asthey watched the mutilation and the killers held up their hands to show that Jewishblood was in their hands - with the Israeli reaction of outrage and concomitantcensure of lone actors such as Baruch Goldstein.

"If you want to understand what happened to my country, look to Nazi Germany,"asserted Shoebat. "The Holocaust never ended, but the victims just decided toprotect themselves... Antisemitism is alive and well. Antisemitism is alive - even inthe west."

Shoebat likened the desecration of Joseph's tomb to Kristallnacht."People took axes, defacated on the Torah Scrolls, urinated all over the place," herecalled. "Tonight I ask one question: Have you ever seen a Jew desecrate amosque or a church?"

The solution, according to Shoebat, lies not in the hands of Israelis, whocontinuously try to establish peace. The problem, he says, is in the society of hatethat he grew up in, the lies he was told, and the fanaticism that is the communalnorm.

"Arafat stands and says to mothers 'Give me your children so I can make martyrs outof them,'" Shoebat said. "Why is it that the Jews want peace and we want war?"

Muslim violence: Caution and pity Posted: February 10, 2006 By Jay Stapleton WorldNetDaily.com

The confounding and conflicting reports surrounding the Muhammad 'toons are stillpouring in. The fast breaking news – cartoon authenticity, religious blasphemy, riotsand deaths – is providing a window into the soul of the Muslim community. Thistime, however, the events can't be pinned on a few Islamic fanatics. The magnitudeand scope of Muslim reaction is revealing the hostile mindset of the broad Muslimworld. It ought to evoke both pity and caution.

Muslims worship the god Allah; I worship God Who became Man, Jesus Christ. Iwould choose to die rather than deny Christ is God. Millions of other Christians

share the same conviction. When we see images of Jesus submerged in urine,depictions of Him as a sodomite, or movies portraying Him as an adulterer, we're

http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/source-of-muslim-violence 6/13

insulted, grieved and angered – but we don't set out to kill the culprits responsible.At least not en masse.

But provoked Muslims are a different story. The demeaning Danish cartoons haveignited mass rage in the Islamic world. We've bewilderedly witnessed the demand

for blood, the burning of buildings, threatenings and death. If one compares theChristian community's restrained response to the defamation of Christ with themurderous Muslim outrage over denigrating cartoons, a clear truth emerges – Christians and Muslims are different from one another. Our differences are rooted inour vastly divergent beliefs about God.

As a Bible believing Christian, I know myself to be created in God's image, marredby sin, and loved by God. Jesus Christ died for me, and when I put my faith in Him,God forgave all my sins, and accepted me into His family. I can now talk to God, andknow Him personally. I've been promised eternity in Heaven with Him. Not so with

the Muslim.

A Muslim worships Allah, but Allah is completely incomprehensible to him. Muslimscholars call this "The Difference." There is nothing about Allah that is comparable toman. To compare Allah to man or to man's thoughts is forbidden. When Allahdescribes himself in the Quran as "merciful" or "compassionate," he is not to beunderstood in terms of human mercy and compassion. Such a comparison isconsidered blasphemous. What does Allah mean then, when he so describeshimself? No one knows. No one can know Allah, or be sure of his ways. That's "TheDifference."

I've dialogued with a number of Muslims over the years, and they're usuallyoffended at my assurance concerning Heaven. They have no such assurance, forIslam offers no personal relationship with Allah. The relational basis for myrelationship with God is that I'm created in His image and likeness. Muslims regardthe biblical teaching that man is created in the image of God as perverse.

Islamic theology decrees that man is not made in the image of Allah, cannotcomprehend Allah, nor have a direct relationship with Allah. Because Allah is underno obligation to any man, he may cast the most devout Muslim into hell, should he

choose to do so. Of course, blowing ones' self up in jihad for Allah will likely tip thebalance in one's favor – a strong motive for Islamic martyrdom.

The bottom line is that Allah's complete incomprehensibility and total "otherness"leaves a huge void in the heart of the Muslim. Because man is driven to worshipsomething he can relate to, the vacuum created by the incomprehensible Allah isoften filled by Muhammad. Although worship of the prophet of Islam is forbidden,the practice is revealed in the constant reverencing of his name. The problem is,Muhammad makes for a very vulnerable god.

Insult is inflammatory when it strikes a note of truth (like a cartoon can do), andMuhammad's dubious legacy and integrity are defended furiously. The recent

Islamic uproar reminds me of the old joke about the preacher who was writing outhis sermon notes. Toward the end, he jotted to himself in the margin "Weak point – pound fist, speak loudly." Likewise, in the Muslim rioting and burning, we're seeingevidence of vulnerable weakness, not zealous conviction. I despise publicdenigration of Jesus Christ, but He needs my defense about as much as a lion needshelp from a duck.

I have a sense of pity for these rioting, Muslim crowds. In defending Muhammad(and previously, the flushed Quran), there's a desperate attempt to show some fealtyto Allah, the unrelatable one. There's also reason for caution in these events. We'renot watching the actions of a few, fundamentalist radicals. These are the actions of ahuge, violent and deadly dysfunctional religious family now living in our midst.May the love of Christ – and not resentment – prevail in our hearts. 

Former Muslim: Islam causes Middle East violence By DOMINIC ADAMS LimaOhio.com07/20/2006

LIMA — Daniel Shayesteh knows firsthand of the fighting in the Middle East.And he said he knows why Hezbollah militia is fighting Israel from Lebanon.―Islam is not a peaceful religion,‖ Shayesteh said. ―We see that Islam is fighting allnations. They blame America. No, look at the Quran. Quran is saying this.‖

Shayesteh, 50, was born in Iran and was a self-proclaimed militant Muslim. Hehelped Ayatollah Khomeini rise to power and force the Shah of Iran into exile in1979.Israel and Lebanon have been fighting since July 12. Two Israeli soldiers werecaptured by Hezbollah guerillas and prompted an aggressive offensive responsefrom the Jewish state.―The current situation really is not the fighting of two groups of people. It‘s the holywar of Islam against the Jews, and it stems from the pages of the Quran,‖ Shayestehsaid. ―The Quran is clearly written that Jews should be demolished, and traditionsays there should not be a single Jew in Israel.‖Shayesteh has been in Ohio since Monday speaking about his interdenominational

organization, ―Exodus from Darkness.‖A converted Christian, he will speak at 9 a.m. Sunday at Shawnee Alliance Church,4455 Shawnee Road. He also spoke in Wapakoneta and in Lima on Wednesday.―Unless we read the chapters of each others‘ lives, a good relationship will not bepossible in our society,‖ said Shayesteh, who became an Australian citizen in 1991.―Let us search for the truths together. Come out from your personal zone andresearch other religions. You pick the best one, and I guarantee you‘ll come toChrist.‖Ralph and Beth Miller invited Shayesteh to stay in their Lima home for two days.The three of them discussed Shayesteh‘s life in Iran late Tuesday night.―He‘s got a passion and his first love is the Lord, and he wants that for everyone,‖

Beth Miller said. ―I don‘t think we can understand what he‘s been through.‖If Shayesteh returns to Iran, he will be executed. His mother and brothers are still in

Iran.―It makes us realize our freedoms,‖ Ralph Miller said.

A violent ideology

The people in Iran cannot stand President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, Shayesteh said.He said more than 95 percent of Iranians hate their government.Iran fuels the fighting in Lebanon, and Shayesteh said Iran funds Hezbollah.―This Iranian president is a suicide bomber,‖ Shayesteh said. ―He is just ready to diefor Islam and demolish Israel.‖Muslim ideology is cloaked in violence because of the status of its creator,Muhammad, Shayesteh said. He said because the prophet fought in ancient wars,the Muslim holy book seeps with violence.Following the terrorist attacks on the World Trade Center on Sept. 11, 2001, the U.S.government vowed to eliminate terrorism and any factions that harbored theindividuals responsible.

President George W. Bush focused his sites on capturing Osama bin Laden. Ladenis not the problem, Shayesteh said.―Osama bin Laden is the servant of Islam. Islam is the enemy of this country,‖ hesaid. ―Osama bin Laden can be changed, but Islam cannot. Osama bin Laden is justa tool in the hand of Islam.‖Shayesteh was heavily involved in the Iranian Fundamentalist Revolution and taughtIslamic and religious philosophy in Iran.After Khomeini was in power, Shayesteh helped spread propaganda and gainsupport from other militant Muslims near his hometown of Talesh in northern Iran.His candidacy for the Islamic parliament forced Shayesteh to be on the run for therest of his life.

Ruling with fearWhen Shayesteh attended university in Iran, he deepened his militant Muslimideologies. Iran was in political turmoil when Shayesteh aligned himself withKhomeini.―Anyone who followed Ayatollah Khomeini must be a radical Muslim,‖ Shayestehsaid. ―We were eager to overthrow the kingdom in Iran, and to do that you have to bea militant and radical Muslim.‖Khomeini put Shayesteh in charge of a revolutionary army that had a primary goal ofkilling all Jews in Israel and recapturing the Holy Land for Arabs.Shayesteh then began spreading propaganda and training young Muslims.―That was our main goal to mobilize all the boys and girls of the country and to teach

them the terrorist actions,‖ Shayesteh said. ―You have to terrorize Christians andJews by frightening them. By killing them, you can take Islam to the countries and tothe rest of the world.―Islam is a harsh religion. There is no peace in Islam.‖However, when questions crept into his mind, Shayesteh wanted to discuss them inparliament.He was silenced, sentenced to death and thrown in jail for six months.A friend released him and he fled to Turkey in exile.―Islam does not believe in freedom and democracy. You have to blindly follow theleader,‖ Shayesteh said. ―If you criticize Islam and Muhammad, your fingers should

be chopped first and then your head.‖

 Reluctant convert

Once in Turkey, Shayesteh began visiting a Christian church that was harboringIranian refugees.He only went there because there were people there in his situation. He was not

interested in Christianity.―We as Muslims were always taught, ‗Do not touch Christians. They were impure,‘‖Shayesteh said.He returned to the church week after week and grew interested in its message.Christians preaching respect of their enemies amazed Shayesteh.One night he had a dream and Jesus spoke to him, he said.He was in his father‘s house. There were people dying around him, and he wasscared to leave the house.The next week‘s sermon spoke of what Shayesteh dreamed.―He said, ‗Come out of your father‘s house, which is the house of killing, of revengeand of pain and live in the house that Jesus has built for you,‘‖ he said. ―It is a houseof absolute joy, of freedom and peace.‖Shayesteh has been spreading the word ever since. 

The Wrath of Radical Muslims CBN News  October 19, 2006 CBNNews.com- Five years after the attacks of September 11, America continues toface a challenging enemy.

"One which is totally invisible, which is submerged within the civilian fabric of societywhich wears T-shirts, denim jeans, baseball caps" said Terrorism Analyst M.J.Gohel, but is infected by an ideology of violent global jihad.

Today, radical Muslim terrorists have renewed their war against Jews, Christians, theUnited States, and other non-Muslim nations.

"They wish to destroy the democratic and secular world," Gohel said.

In its place, they want to impose a 7th century totalitarian ideology that would controlall religious, social, and political life on earth.

Gohel said, "They want to impose Islamic caliphates, Islamic super states on theentire world."

In such a world, all debate or criticism about Islam would seize to exist.

Some argue that such a world exists already. Since 9/11, anyone who dares tocriticize Islam or its agenda and history, faces the wrath of potentially millions of

Muslims.

Case in point: Pope Benedict's citation of a 14th century emperor who called Islam"evil and inhuman" and the cartoon drawings negatively depicting the prophetMohammed. Both drew violent reactions from Muslims worldwide.

To some, it appears, that Muslims are always ready and waiting to be outraged. But

many ask, where's the outrage at the violence committed by Muslims.

For example, where is it when Muslims kill Muslims in Iraq and Darfur, a Catholicnun is gunned down in Somalia, and an Iraqi priest is kidnapped and beheaded inBaghdad after the pope's challenging remarks? Or when Muslims in Indonesia cut offthe heads of three teenaged girls on their way to a Christian school?

In Egypt, Iran, Nigeria, Pakistan, Saudi Arabia, Christians are regularly persecutedby Muslims for their faith. And in London, Madrid, Bali, and Amman, Islamic terroristskill dozens of innocent victims in suicide operations.

In all these incidents, there's no outrage or apology from the Muslim world. Justsilence.

Karen Hughes, the Undersecretary of State, says "this is not right." In a letterpublished in USA Today titled, "Where's the Outrage,"Hughes writes that, "a muchlouder chorus of voices needs to join in condemning it. Terrorism threatens all of us.It targets the very foundation of a free society."

But those who are engaged in radical Islam's war against the West see themselvesas following the examples of the prophet Mohammed. And according to them,anyone who insults Islam or the prophet, should be put to death.

Robert Spencer knows a thing or two about the prophet Mohammed. Spencer takeson the most sacred figure in Muslim history.

His latest book, The Truth about Muhammad: Founder of the World's Most Intolerant Religion , looks at what Islam's founder actually did and taught.

ARE THERE LIMITS TO ISLAMIC VIOLENCE? Bottom of Form Charles Sabillon January 31, 2007 The constant warring between Pakistan and India is the result of several factors butone of the most important is Islam In 1947 the British granted independence to South Asia. Originally, the British had nointention of partitioning the subcontinent, but the Muslim minority insisted so muchon having a country of their own, that London finally agreed. The huge territory was thus divided into Pakistan and India, being what is nowBangladesh a province of Pakistan.

Almost as soon as the British withdrew, war broke loose. In the six decades sinceindependence, there have been a total of three wars and more than a dozen armedclashes. Although during the whole period Pakistan remained a far weaker nationthan India, all the wars and all the clashes were caused by Pakistan. That goes a long way to expose the true nature of the Muslim religion. Like allreligions, Islam is uncompromising, for it believes that it is the holder of the ultimatetruth. However, contrary to the others, it is the only creed born out of an act ofviolence and the only one that glorifies violence in its holy book. However, what is even more revealing of its brutal nature is the way in which therelationship of military forces was structured in South Asia. From the start, it wasclear to the Pakistanis that they were going to loose. India is exponentially larger inpopulation and in resources, and on top of that New Delhi made a strategic alliancewith the U.S. That gave India access to the best military technology in the world. As all experts predicted, Pakistan was crushed on the three occasions. It was not just crushed, but it was also humiliated because the defeat came quickly due to theoverwhelming superiority of Indian forces. Such a situation begs a question. Who picks up a fight with someone who is many times stronger? More still is: whopicks up a fight after having been repeatedly defeated? On the third war in 1971, Pakistan not only lost the war, but also the province of EastBengal, which declared its independence and became Bangladesh. However, noteven such a massive and ignominious loss convinced the Pakistanis to stopprovoking its neighbor.

They went on harassing India, claiming that the disputed state of Kashmir belongedto them. In the following decades, they repeatedly financed and armed groups whichthey encouraged to pierce into India to plant bombs. This of course, led to a militaryresponse from New Delhi, which led to numerous border clashes that almost endedin war. The situation in South Asia over the last six decades, leads to the conclusion thatsuch bravado from the part of Pakistan, can only be the result of the country‘s belief in Islam. Only someone who believes in violence per se could be systemically

picking up a fight with somebody who is much stronger. The fact that Pakistan‘s claim over Kashmir is not solidly anchored points further inthis direction. Lieberman: World accustomed to Muslim violenceRight-wing minister slams Muslim riots on Temple Mount, demands more severeIsraeli response. On other side, Arab MKs condemn ‗premeditated Israeliaggression‘ in carrying out renovations at holy siteRoee MendelYnetnews

The government‘s Right-wing contingent, Minister of Strategic Affairs AvigdorLieberman, said the Muslim riots on the Temple Mount were a provocation aimed atdistracting attention from the intra-Palestinian conflict in Gaza.

―The world has already grown accustomed to the fact that Muslims react violently,‖

Lieberman said, ―same as after the Pope‘s speech and after caricatures of theProphet Muhammad were printed.‖

It is perfectly clear to any rational onlooker that Israel is not harming any Islamic holysites, Minister Lieberman asserted. He accused the Israeli government rather ofdiscriminating against its Jewish citizens.

―The State of Israel promises freedom of worship to Christians and Muslims inJerusalem,‖ he said. But for Jews, it‘s a different story, he said. ―Since the secondIntifada, Jews cannot enter the Temple Mount, and Israel is showing that it isprepared to make compromises and concessions. But there needs to be some

rational limit. We cannot agree to an attack on Israel‘s sovereignty at the TempleMount.‖

The minister censured the conduct of Israeli Arab Knesset members since the startof the construction work at the Mugrabi Gate. ―They are envoys of our enemies,‖Lieberman charged.

―Taleb el-Sana called to support Hizbullah. Another MK encouraged the kidnappingof Israeli soldiers. Arab MKs visited Damascus, and it is clear they are collaboratingwith the enemy. Israel must punish anyone who aligns himself with terrorism,‖ henoted.

Lieberman criticized Jerusalem police forces, who failed to arrest Islamic Movementleader Shiekh Raad Salah Friday despite his aggressive behavior. ―The manattacked policemen, spit in their faces – and he wasn‘t arrested. What needs tohappen for him to be arrested?‖ Lieberman demanded.

 Arab MKs slam ‗premeditated aggression‘ Meanwhile, Israeli Arab parliament members continued to protest the controversialconstruction, rejecting Israeli explanations that it was structural work on an unstable

bridge.

Hadash Chairman MK Mohammad Barakeh called on Prime Minister Ehud Olmert―to pull the occupation forces out of the mosque at once.‖

Barakeh slammed the construction work as ―premeditated Israeli aggression.‖

―This government insists on playing with fire and causing bloodshed, especially afterthe Palestinians attained a unity government agreement. It is the Palestinians‘ rightto protest the provocative construction next to the al- Aqsa Mosque,‖ he said.

MK Taleb el-Sana, who attended prayers at the mosque Friday, said, ―I was shockedwhen even before the prayers ended, Border Guard and police forces stormed theMount with stun guns and caused unjustified damage.‖

―Maybe a few stones were thrown, but this response was exaggerated,‖ he said.

National Democratic Assembly MK Jamal Zahalka, an East Jerusalem resident,claimed the bridge was being built to enable 300 policemen to storm the TempleMount at once.

"Wakf, the Jordanian government and UNESCO expressed their fierce opposition tothe bridge‘s construction, which brutally damages the Mugrabi Gate,‖ he said. Jesus Christ preached: "You have heard that it was said to those of old, 'Youshall not murder, and whoever murders will be in danger of the judgment.'"Matthew 5:21
