Walid Shoebat embedded a brief WGN interview in which the al-taqiyya flows smoothly at a rapid pace.
Ahmed Rehab took a key word out of context and twisted it into a pretzel. The context of the bus advertisement is the Islamic reconquest of Israel: low intensity asymmetrical warfare carried out with suicide bombs, knives, axes, rifles, stones and unguided missiles. The reconquest operates by intimidation and piecemeal genocide. Recently the intensity has increased, with hundreds of rockets launched over the border towards civilian residences and infrastructure.
ji·had/jiˈhäd/
| Noun: |

| Synonyms: | jehad | |
The canonical text of the Noble Qur'an translation by Hilali & Khan contains one instance of jihad in Surah Al-Baqrah.
- 2:216. Jihâd (holy fighting in Allâh's Cause) is ordained for you (Muslims) though you dislike it, and it may be that you dislike a thing which is good for you and that you like a thing which is bad for you. Allâh knows but you do not kno
A visit to Islam Awakened turns up 42 parallel translations of which Hilali & Khan is the only translation to use Jihad,. The others use fighting, killing or warfare.
A visit to Corpus Qur'an turns up the Arabic word used in the original text.
| (2:216:3) l-qitālu [the] fighting |  | N – nominative masculine noun اسم مرفوع |
Clicking the key word brings up a list of 180 occurrences of variants of qital in the Qur'an. Examine a few specimens.
| (8:39:1) waqātilūhum | And fight them | وَقَاتِلُوهُمْ حَتَّىٰ لَا تَكُونَ فِتْنَةٌ وَيَكُونَ الدِّينُ كُلُّهُ لِلَّهِ |
| (9:29:1) qātilū | Fight | قَاتِلُوا الَّذِينَ لَا يُؤْمِنُونَ بِاللَّهِ وَلَا بِالْيَوْمِ الْآخِرِ |
| (9:123:4) qātilū | Fight | يَا أَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا قَاتِلُوا الَّذِينَ يَلُونَكُمْ مِنَ الْكُفَّارِ |
Those three verses contain the primary Jihad imperatives in the Qur'an. Many others contain one variant or another of "strive hard and fight", examine these.
- 9:41. March forth, whether you are light (being healthy, young and wealthy) or heavy (being ill, old and poor), strive hard with your wealth and your lives in the Cause of Allâh. This is better for you, if you but knew.
- 9:86. And when a Sûrah (chapter from the Qur'ân) is revealed, enjoining them to believe in Allâh and to strive hard and fight along with His Messenger, the wealthy among them ask your leave to exempt them (from Jihâd) and say, "Leave us (behind), we would be with those who sit (at home)."

Allah's cause
What is his cause? One hadith has the answer for us: it is to make Islam dominate the world.
- Sahih Bukhari Volume 4, Book 52, Number 65: Narrated Abu Musa: A man came to the Prophet and asked, "A man fights for war booty; another fights for fame and a third fights for showing off; which of them fights in Allah's Cause?" The Prophet said, "He who fights that Allah's Word (i.e. Islam) should be superior, fights in Allah's Cause."
holy fighting
What is it? What makes war holy? The intention of pleasing Allah; fighting to make Islam dominate the word, not for fame, fortune or glory is the essential element. I would slog through a great deal of text to find the primary reference, so just take my word for it. Fighting in Allah's Cause is the essential element.
- Sahih Muslim Muslim Book 019, Number 4294:
It has been reported from Sulaiman b. Buraid through his father that when the Messenger of Allah (may peace be upon him) appointed anyone as leader of an army or detachment he would especially exhort him to fear Allah and to be good to the Muslims who were with him. He would say: Fight in the name of Allah and in the way of Allah. Fight against those who disbelieve in Allah. Make a holy war, do not embezzle the spoils; do not break your pledge; and do not mutilate (the dead) bodies; do not kill the children. ...
Jihad
Technically, the word means striving, struggle and extreme exertion. But the legal definition is provided by Reliance of the Traveller, Book O9.1: warfare against infidels. [Emphasis and links added.]
-
O9.0: Jihad
(O: Jihad means to war against non-Muslims, and is etymologically derived from the word mujahada signifying warfare to establish the religion. And it is the lesser jihad. As for the greater jihad, it is spiritual warfare against the lower self (nafs), which is why the Prophet (Allah bless him and give him peace) said as he was returning from jihad.
``We have returned from the lesser jihad to the greater jihad.''
The scriptural basis for jihad, prior to scholarly consensus (def: b7) is such Koranic verses as:
-1- ``Fighting is prescribed for you'' (Koran 2:216);
-2- ``Slay them wherever you find them'' (Koran 4:89);
-3- ``Fight the idolators utterly'' (Koran 9:36);
and such hadiths as the one related by Bukhari and Muslim that the Prophet (Allah bless him and give him peace) said:
``I have been commanded to fight people until they testify that there is no god but Allah and that Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah, and perform the prayer, and pay zakat. If they say it, they have saved their blood and possessions from me, except for the rights of Islam over them. And their final reckoning is with Allah'';
and the hadith reported by Muslim,
``To go forth in the morning or evening to fight in the path of Allah is better than the whole world and everything in it.''Details concerning jihad are found in the accounts of the military expeditions of the Prophet (Allah bless him and give him peace), including his own martial forays and those on which he dispatched others. The former consist of the ones he personally attended, some twenty-seven (others say twenty-nine) of them. He fought in eight of them, and killed only one person with his noble hand, Ubayy ibn Khalaf, at the battle of Uhud. On the latter expeditions he sent others to fight, himself remaining at Medina, and these were forty-seven in number.)
defeat all Muslims
The expression in the advertisement was "defeat Jihad". The word "Muslims" does not appear in the adv. copy. It calls for the defeat of Muslims waging war against civilized people. Are your kid, grand mother and neighbor engaged in war against Israel?
central tenet
Why does Islam's scripture contain a chapter whose title means "Spoils of War" and another commanding repentance for not joining the ghazwat on Tabuk? Why did Moe say that he was "commanded to fight the people until"?
highest peak
its hump?” I said, ‘Certainly, O Messenger of Allah (SAW) .” He said, “Its head is Islam, its
pillar is Salah and the apex of its hump is jihad.” Then he said, “Shall I not tell you about
the root of that”? I said, “Certainly, O Messenger of Allah (SAW)!” He held his tongue
and said, “Keep it in check.” I asked, “Shall we be taken to task for what we speak with
it”? He said, “May your mother weep at you, O Mu’adh! Will people be cast in hell on
their faces or on their nostrils except as the consequence of their tongues?”
[Ahmed 22-77,Ibn Majah 3973] {JamiaTirmidhi}
Jihad is the highest peak of Islam, its most important doctrine.
silly ad
The advertisement was uttered and published to counter an advertisement which demanded cutting off all aid to Israel. Advocati8ng the defense of innocent people under genocidal attack and defeati of savages thus engaged is not silly. if it was not serious, you CAIR would not be bitching about it.
racist
What race is Islam? Rehab is an arab, Dougie Hooper is Caucasian; are they members of the same race as Siraj Wahhaj?? A member of any race can 'revert', becoming a Muslim, does he then change his race from Caucasian or Black to Muslim?
Where is race mentioned in the advertisement? Is savage a race? Are Arabs savages?misinformed
The ignorant fools who believe Rehab's al-taqiyya are misinformed. Those of us who have read the Qur'an & authentic hadith collections and delved into Shari'ah are informed so that we are able to recognize and refute the spew of lies coming from Muslims.
