No Atheists
In A Foxhole

Rudyard Kipling

" ā€œWhen you're left wounded on
Afganistan's plains and

the women come out to cut up what remains,
Just roll to your rifle

and blow out your brains,
And go to your God like a soldierā€
General Douglas MacArthur

" ā€œWe are not retreating. We are advancing in another direction.ā€

ā€œIt is fatal to enter any war without the will to win it.ā€
ā€œOld soldiers never die; they just fade away.
ā€œThe soldier, above all other people, prays for peace,
for he must suffer and be the deepest wounds and scars of war.ā€
ā€œMay God have mercy upon my enemies, because I won't .ā€
ā€œThe object of war is not to die for your country but to make the other bastard die for his.

ā€œNobody ever defended, there is only attack and attack and attack some more.
ā€œIt is foolish and wrong to mourn the men who died.
Rather we should thank God that such men lived.
The Soldier stood and faced God
Which must always come to pass
He hoped his shoes were shining
Just as bright as his brass
"Step forward you Soldier,
How shall I deal with you?
Have you always turned the other cheek?
To My Church have you been true?"
"No, Lord, I guess I ain't
Because those of us who carry guns
Can't always be a saint."
I've had to work on Sundays
And at times my talk was tough,
And sometimes I've been violent,
Because the world is awfully rough.
But, I never took a penny
That wasn't mine to keep.
Though I worked a lot of overtime
When the bills got just too steep,
The Soldier squared his shoulders and said
And I never passed a cry for help
Though at times I shook with fear,
And sometimes, God forgive me,
I've wept unmanly tears.
I know I don't deserve a place
Among the people here.
They never wanted me around
Except to calm their fears.
If you've a place for me here,
Lord, It needn't be so grand,
I never expected or had too much,
But if you don't, I'll understand."
There was silence all around the throne
Where the saints had often trod
As the Soldier waited quietly,
For the judgment of his God.
"Step forward now, you Soldier,
You've borne your burden well.
Walk peacefully on Heaven's streets,
You've done your time in Hell."

Video: Robert Spencer Unveils the Religious Roots of the Israel-Hamas Clash: Decoding the Islamic Threat
Sunday, November 05, 2023

Robert Spencer : ā€œIf weā€™re not willing to pledge our lives, fortunes, and sacred honor to the cause of freedom, we risk losing all three anyway.ā€ In an exclusive and thought-provoking interview, Robert Spencer, the Director of Jihad Watch and a renowned author of 27 books, including multiple New York Times bestsellers, unveils the religious underpinnings of the Israel-Hamas conflict.

Spencerā€™s deep insights shed light on the complex dynamics, religious ideologies, and the misreported threatening slogans that are chanted in demonstrations in support of Palestinians and Hamas. From exploring the concepts of ā€˜Dar Al Harbā€™ and ā€˜Dar Al Islamā€™ to the U.S.-Israel alliance and the contentious issue of so-called ā€˜Islamophobia,ā€™ Spencerā€™s extensive expertise and meticulous research provide a critical lens through which to understand these pressing global issues.

The Religious Nature of the Israel-Hamas Conflict

Spencer emphasized that the Israel-Hamas conflict is fundamentally a religious one. It has been mistakenly framed as a territorial or geopolitical dispute for decades, leading to misguided analysis and unfruitful attempts at peace. Israel has made numerous territorial concessions to various jihadist groups, yet the conflict persists. Spencer succinctly summarized the basis of the entire conflict, highlighting Quranic verse 2:191, which commands believers to ā€œdrive them out from where they drove you out.ā€ This verse forms the foundation for the Palestinian propaganda that alleges Palestinians were driven out by Israelis, even though historical evidence suggests otherwise. This narrative fuels a sense of religious obligation to drive Israelis out of the land, regardless of the size of Israel.

Spencer further explained that in classic Islamic theology, the House of Islam (Dar Al Islam) must continually expand at the expense of the House of War (Dar Al Harb). The green flags of many Islamic countries symbolize this perpetual growth. Muslims believe that any land that was once part of the Islamic domain must return to it, based on the Quranic principle of ā€œdrive them out from where they drove you out.ā€ Hence, even if Israel were as small as a suburban front yard, it would not be acceptable to Hamas, Palestinian Islamic Jihad, or other Palestinian groups. The conflict is rooted in the religious duty of Muslims to regain any land they consider historically theirs.

Understanding Key Terms: Dar Al Harb and Dar Al Islam

Spencer explained the key terms ā€œDar Al Harbā€ (House of War) and ā€œDar Al Islamā€ (House of Islam). These terms illustrate the Islamic concept that the House of Islam must expand at the expense of the House of War, with warfare being the means of achieving this expansion. The green flags of Islamic countries represent the continuous growth of Islam, in contrast to other ideologies that diminish over time. This ideology fuels the belief that Israel must be reclaimed for Islam, irrespective of its size or any concessions made.

Why the U.S. Supports Israel

Spencer clarified the reasons for the United Statesā€™ strong support for Israel. He pointed out that Israel faces the same jihadist threat that led to the September 11, 2001 attacks in the United States. Therefore, forming an alliance of nations threatened by jihad should have been the logical response, as it would create a more coherent and effective web of alliances than the remnants of Cold War-era alliances.

The United States was one of the first countries to recognize Israelā€™s independence in 1948, and Israel remains the only free society in the region, guaranteeing equal rights to all its citizens. Given that the U.S. and Israel uphold the values of freedom and individual rights, it is only natural to support Israel, which is its most reliable and like-minded ally in the region. Spencer emphasized that Israel serves as the United Statesā€™ most reliable and like-minded ally in the region, a partnership that enhances the interests of both nations.

Widespread Support for Hamas and ā€œFrom the River to the Seaā€ Chant

Spencer addressed the widespread support for Hamas among Palestinians, dispelling the misconception that most Palestinians reject the organization. He referenced a poll indicating that a significant majority of people in Gaza still support Hamas. Even more extremist groups, such as Palestinian Islamic Jihad and Al-Aqsa Martyrsā€™ Brigades, enjoy even greater support among Palestinians.

Spencer delved into the provocative chant, ā€œFrom the river to the sea, Palestine will be free,ā€ explaining that it is a call for the complete destruction of Israel. The chant represents a fundamental rejection of Israelā€™s right to exist.

ā€œKhaybar Khaybar ya yahud,ā€ Chant

The interview also covered the chant, ā€œKhaybar Khaybar ya yahud.ā€ Spencer provided historical context, explaining that the chant is a threat that recalls a massacre carried out by Muhammad and his followers in the town of Khaybar against the Jews. This chant is intended to instill fear and symbolizes a call for violence against Jews.

The Fallacy of the ā€œOccupationā€

Spencer dismissed the notion of Israelā€™s ā€œoccupationā€ as a fallacy. He clarified that no occupation existed, historically or at present. To be occupied, someone must own the land first. Spencer highlighted the history, beginning with the Ottoman Empire and the British Mandate for Palestine, which was created to establish a Jewish national home in the region. He underlined that Israel is the only rightful claimant to the land, and its concessions for a Palestinian state prove its commitment to peace, even if reciprocated by violence.

The Myth of ā€œLiberating Al Aqsa Mosqueā€

Spencer debunked the myth that Al Aqsa Mosque needs liberation. He explained that Al Aqsa Mosque is open to all Muslims for prayer, and there are no restrictions on access. It is a falsehood propagated to incite violence and advance the Palestinian propaganda machineā€™s narrative that Israel is attempting to destroy the mosque.

Understanding ā€œIslamophobiaā€

Spencer elaborated on the term ā€œIslamophobia,ā€ highlighting its relatively recent coinage in the 1990s. He emphasized that the term is employed to stigmatize criticism of Islam, creating an unwarranted sense of bigotry, racism, and hatred around it. While the concept of ā€œIslamophobiaā€ is often used to denote vigilante attacks on innocent Muslims, Spencer underscored that there is no corresponding phenomenon of irrational hatred or persecution of Muslims throughout history. It is a deceptive strategy to silence criticism of Islam and its ideology.

The Ongoing Threat to Critics of Islam

The interview also delved into the safety of individuals who criticize Islam in the West. Spencer admitted to receiving death threats over the years and narrowly escaping assassination attempts. He pointed out that freedom fighters throughout history have faced threats and violence, yet they stood up for their principles and paved the way for the free societies we enjoy today.

Spencerā€™s insightful interview with RAIR Foundation USA shed light on the deep-seated religious nature of the Israel-Hamas conflict and the misrepresentations surrounding it.

His extensive knowledge and commitment to truth underscored the importance of standing up against intimidation and threats to ensure that free societies endure.
