Egyptian Shaykh: Jihad Is Solution to Muslims' Financial Problems
2011-05-31
Transcript:

We are in the era of jihad. The era of jihad has come over us, and jihad in the path of Allah is a pleasure. It is a real pleasure. The companions (of the Prophet) used to compete to (perform jihad). The poverty that we’re in—is it not due to our abandonment of jihad? But if we could conduct one, two, or three jihadist operations every year, many people throughout the earth would become Muslims. And whoever rejected this da’wa, or stood in our way, we would fight against him and take him prisoner, and confiscate his wealth, his children, and his women—all of this means money. Every mujahid who returned from jihad, his pockets would be full. He would return with 3 or 4 slaves, 3 or 4 women, and 3 or 4 children. Multiply each head by 300 dirhams, or 300 dinar, and you have a good amount of profit. If he were to go to the West and work on a commercial deal, he would not make that much money. Whenever things became difficult (financially), he could take the head (i.e. the prisoner) and sell it, and ease his (financial) crisis. He would sell it like groceries. Of those who are--(cuts off)

#3  Don't make me show how many Israelis won Nobel Prizes, vs arab winners (all of whom were Secular). India is forced to subsidize a muslim "education" system where 40% of all indoctrination time is spent on worthless quran, hadith, islamic plunder history and arabic. If you put garbage into young people's heads, then garbage will come out.

#2  It clearly hasn't occurred to the revered shaykh that the reason jihadis stopped returning with slaves and booty is because their opponents had become better at war than they, and no longer permitted such things. Think, dear shaykh, about the reason Viennese bakers make crescent cookies, why the Jews decide who may pray at the Al Aksa mosque, and why slavery was made illegal on the Arabian peninsula in the 1960s. A hint: it was not because Mohammed's rules for slave-taking and -holding were abolished, but because the potential slaves have bigger armies and better weapons than you who think yourselves the chosen of Allah. And also because the Arab princelings did not enjoy seeing their wives sniggered at as backwater barbarians when shopping in Paris.
