Why “Muslims”? Because al-Qaeda, like other supporters of the “Palestinian” jihad, and “Palestinian” jihadis themselves, see the Israeli-Palestinian conflict wholly and solely in terms...
This is what is sold in the media: “The Jew as a uniquely wicked being.” “Colonialist, racist, Jewish ethnostate that apparently delights in killing Palestinian babies.”
A hadith has a Muslim asking Muhammad: “Instruct me as to such a deed as equals Jihad (in reward).” Muhammad replied, “I do not find such a deed.” (Bukhari 4.52.44) So what better way to increase one’s devotion to Allah than by waging jihad?
