Hajj Amin al Husseini had a jihadist ideology.    This is how Hajj Amin al Husseini incited the Arabs over the Nazi radio  during WWII: “Arabs, rise as one man and fight for your sacred rights. Kill the Jews wherever you find them. This pleases God, history, and religion. This saves your honor. God is with you.” [ Pearlman, M. 1947. Mufti of Jerusalem: The story of Haj Amin el Husseini. London: V Gollancz, p.51 ] Why did Husseini preach that “kill[ing] Jews wherever you find them” is something that “pleases God”? In order to answer this question, we must understand his jihadist ideology. Jihad is the central concept in Islam. “According to Bat Ye'or,” one of the foremost scholars of Islam, “the concept of jihad encourages Muslims to conquer lands peopled by Christians, Jews and other non-Muslims, who are seen as infidels with no history of their own, no religion, and no rights. Their wealth can be taken; they can be enslaved or killed -- all in the name of Islam.” [ Americans should educate themselves about jihad's "culture of hate," says WSRC speaker; Brandeis News; February 28, 2002; by Donna Desroschers. ] This opinion is not only that of scholars looking at Islam from the outside. Ibn Kaldun (d.1406), the renowned Arab philosopher, historian, and sociologist, summarized five centuries of consensus opinions of Sunni Muslim jurisprudence concerning the jihad as follows: “In the Muslim community, the holy war is a religious duty, because of the universalism of the [Muslim] mission and [the obligation to] convert everybody to Islam either by persuasion or by force... The other religious groups did not have a universal mission, and the holy war was not a religious duty for them, save only for the purposes of defense. ...Islam is under obligation to gain power over other nations.” [ Bostom, A. G. 2005. “Jihad Conquests and the Imposition of Dhimmitude -- A Survey,” in The legacy of jihad: Islamic holy war and the fate of non-Muslims. Amherst, NY: Prometheus Books, pp.24-126. (p.28 ] The key point is that Muslims will spread their religion “either by persuasion or by force.” It will be explained to non-Muslims that if they cannot see the beauty and wisdom of Islam, they will be killed. This is force. In some cases, especially with Christians and Jews, whom Muslims consider the root of their own tradition, recalcitrant ‘infidels’ may be allowed to keep their faith and live so long as they agree, following a Muslim conquest, to the laws of a special covenant, 'aqd al-dhimmah. The resulting condition of dhimmitude imposes severe restrictions on the rights of dhimmis, reducing them to the status of semi-slaves to the Muslims, and subject to all sorts of humiliations and abuses in daily life, many of which are ritual and obligatory, and designed to convince them that it would be better to convert to Islam. This is ‘persuasion.’ The most important imposition of the dhimma is the payment of jizya, an onerous head tax that is applied to all dhimmis, including women, children, orphans, widows, and even the dead. “In reply to the following question, ‘How may the dhimmis be allowed to persist in what is the worst of crimes, i.e., unbelief, by payment of a monetary consideration?’, [the Muslim jurist] al-Sarakhsi says that the object is not the monetary consideration, but their invitation to the Faith in the most beautiful way. ...Then, too, ‘the dhimmi, by living among Moslems sees the beauties of the Moslem faith and is exhorted to, and often does, accept Islam.’”[ Aghnides, N. P. 1916. "Classification of Persons," in Mohammedan Theories of Finance, pp. 354-59. New York: Cambridge University Press. Reproduced in Bostom (2005:301-04) ] One is entitled to disagree that the imposition of dhimmitude really is the “most beautiful way” to entice non-Muslims to see “the beauties of the Moslem faith.” Here follows a description made by Ghevond -- an Armenian Christian writing in the 8th century under Abbasid rule -- about the manner in which the Muslim authorities collected the jizya from the dhimmis. “One saw... horrible scenes of every sort of torture; nor did [they] forget to tax the dead; the multitude of orphans and widows suffered the same cruelty; priests and ministers at the holy sanctuary were forced by the vile punishments of flogging and whipping to disclose the names of the dead and their parents; in short the whole population of the country, smitten with enormous taxes, after having paid large sums of zuze [silver coins], also had to wear a lead seal around their necks... as for the lower classes of the population, it had been exposed to different sorts of torture: some suffered flagellation for being unable to pay exorbitant taxes; others were hanged on gibbets, or crushed under presses; and others were stripped of their clothing and thrown into lakes in the depths of an extremely cold winter: and soldiers spaced out on the banks prevented them clambering ashore and forced them to perish wretchedly.” [ Bostom, A. G. 2005. “Jihad Conquests and the Imposition of Dhimmitude -- A Survey,” in The legacy of jihad: Islamic holy war and the fate of non-Muslims. Amherst, NY: Prometheus Books, pp.24-126. (p.30) ] But though dhimmis were often mistreated in these and other ways, it is still true that those who agree to the dhimma are in theory protected from the extremes of genocide or outright slavery, which is otherwise the usual lot of stubborn and defiant infidels. Now, in the land that the British would baptize ‘Palestine,’ many Jews had been living under Muslim rule as dhimmis for centuries. But in the first half of the 20th c., Hajj Amin al Husseini clearly felt that the “sacred rights” of Muslims had been violated and now preached to his Muslim followers that they should “kill the Jews wherever you find them” because this “pleases God, history, and religion.” To see what supported Husseini's position, we must answer the following question: What is it that dissolves the dhimma and resumes the jihad? In Islam those territories not (yet) ruled by Muslims are called “the land of harbis” or Dar al Harb: the ‘World of War.’ Why this choice of terminology? Because, explains the scholar Nicholas Aghnides (cited above), “the Moslem world is in a state of war with the harbis unless this state has been terminated... [by] conversion to Islam” or by the signing of a truce, such as, for example, agreement to the laws of the dhimma. But “the pact may be considered dissolved... if the dhimmi returns to the land of harbis, for by so doing he becomes like the renegades..., or if the dhimmi fights the Muslims.” Becoming like the renegades is serious, because “renegades,” says Aghnides, “are not given quarter, but have to choose between the sword [death] and Islam.” This is sufficient context to understand Husseini. In his time, many Jews came from Europe to live in the land of their ancestors, which had been ruled by Muslims for many centuries. They did not come to be semi-slaves who would pay the jizya but to liberate the Jewish dhimmis and build their own self-governed homeland. In other words, they came to create harbis where the Muslims already ruled! From the Muslim point of view hardly anything can be less tolerable, except for this: the Jews showed themselves ready to fight Muslims to defend their life and property from terrorist attack. In Husseini's eyes, the Jews had become like renegades who “have to choose between the sword and Islam.” The orthodox reaction, which he led, was to call for the complete, genocidal destruction of the Jews. The bottom line: Hajj Amin al Husseini is the founder of the so-called ‘Palestinian movement.’ This movement is not looking for a piece of land. It is trying to consummate vengeance against rebellious dhimmis -- by killing them all. Modern Westerners, including most Jews, are confused by all this because Muslims will say that dhimmis are ‘protected,’ and much propaganda has misled Westerners into interpreting this statement in their own, Western, terms. In this way they end up believing that non-Muslims have been treated well in Muslim lands. But the ‘protection’ offered by Muslims in the dhimma is no different than the protection racket of armed gangsters: you are being ‘protected,’ through your abasement, from slaughter at the hands of the same Muslims. Bat Ye'or, one of the foremost historians of dhimmitude, and the scholar who coined the term, explained as follows in her testimony to the US Congress:

"...Whatever good there is exists thanks to the sword and in the shadow of the sword! People cannot be made obedient except with the sword! The sword is the key to paradise, which can be opened only for holy warriors!" -- Ayatollah Khomeini, from a 1941 speech entitled "Islam is not a religion of pacifists."   Detail of a painting celebrating Muhammad's extermination of a Jewish tribe   Charles Martel, at the Battle of Tours (Poitiers) in 732, stopped the Muslims from advancing into Europe beyond Spain   The Muslim expansion has been rapid and stable. ( click to see more and larger maps on the growth of Islam )       Will Islam dominate the world? It will if: 1) Jews do not effectively defend themselves; and 2) Westerners ally with Muslims to destroy the Jews. If this happens, the tragedy of WWII, when a great many Westerners allied with the Nazis to destroy the Jews, causing a world war that cost millions of Western lives and destroyed Western liberties, will repeat itself. This time, however, the West will not get back on its feet.

Paul Belien from the Brussels Journal reports that:

"Europe’s no-go zones or SUAs (“sensitive urban areas”) are multiplying. These are areas where the police no longer dares to venture and where Islamists hold sway."

The French government has published a list of zones that have become dangerous for non-Muslims. The list is quite long.

It is important to understand that jihadist ideology is a way of attacking Muslims, too. This ideology has no trouble murdering ordinary Muslims if it brings the death of infidels, and this is why suicide attacks are glorified. It is no secret that PLO/Fatah will strap explosives around the waist of young children, and in some cases even women, in order to murder Jewish civilians. No one should be surprised, therefore, that jihadist ideology contemplates milder forms of violence against Muslims if it will bring about the destruction of infidels. Thus, whereas the Jews who were expelled from the Arab states in 1948 (merely because the new State of Israel had defeated the combined attempt of the Arab states to exterminate the Israeli Jews) were absorbed into the Jewish state, and given citizenship, the so-called ‘Palestinian refugees’ had no such luck. These ‘refugees’ lost their homes because they refused the invitation of the State of Israel to return, after the war, if they abandoned the effort to destroy the Jews. And they have not been integrated into the surrounding Arab states, despite the fact that there is plenty of land.

Isn't there plenty of Arab land?

Over 20 Muslim countries. Only one tiny Israel.

Is this really an issue of land for peace?

Why have the Arab states not integrated the so-called ‘Palestinian refugees’ and given them citizenship? Because if they do this these refugees can no longer be used as a political tool against Israel. Here is the assessment of the Washington Report, a pro Arab publication:

“Many Palestinian refugees in Lebanon still live in squalid camps… After more than half a century in exile, their situation remains precarious. Without citizenship, or even the same options as guestworkers from Egypt or Sri Lanka, the Palestinians cannot work in many occupations. Nor do they receive assistance from the cash-strapped Lebanese government. In some cases, residents are unable even to repair damaged houses because they cannot ‘import’ building materials into the camps.

Because Beirut refuses to accept the de facto resettlement of Palestinian refugees in Lebanon, the refugees have never been granted citizenship or residency rights by the Lebanese government, which wants to keep the pressure on Israel to permit the refugees’ return. This policy, however, has caused hardship for many Palestinians.” [ Palestinian Refugees in Lebanon and Syria Face Different, Uncertain Futures. Dec 2000, Vol. 19 Issue 9, p26;  Washington Report on Middle East Affairs; by Fecci, JoMarie ]

Notice, above, that the ‘Palestinian refugees’ in Lebanon are not given the same opportunities that even guest workers from Egypt and Sri Lanka get. Why? Because the Arab world cares so much about ‘Palestinian refugees’?

Obviously, when the Arab states agitate for the ‘right of return’ of the ‘Palestinian refugees’ they are not concerned for the welfare of these people. After all, these people will be horribly oppressed by PLO/Fatah in a future ‘Palestinian State’ (the residents of Gaza, before the Hamas takeover, would refer to the PLO/Fatah police as the ‘death squad’). The point of clamoring ‘in favor’ of the ‘Palestinians’ to create a PLO/Fatah state is simply that it appeals to the humanitarian ideology of Westerners, most of whom are terribly misinformed and thus fail to see that this is just a strategy to advance the jihad against Israel.

For a thorough understanding of Muslim jihadist ideology one must consult the opinions of Muslim jurists across the centuries on the purpose and mission of Islam. These jurists explain that most infidels must be murdered if they will not convert, and specify the conditions of inferiority, humiliation, and violent abuse that must be imposed, and have been imposed, on the dhimmis who are allowed to live in Islamic societies. The following volume collects the opinions of Muslim jurists from different eras, and also the historical testimonies from Muslims and non-Muslims on the treatment that ‘infidels’ have received under Islam:
