RUTHFULLY YOURS

ALI SINA ON THE DHIMMI RABBIS OF HARROW

What the Rabbis of Harrow Have in Common with the Rabbis of Medina?
Submitted by Ali Sina

A group of rabbis of Harrow, London, signed a letter offering unequivocal support for the borough’s Muslim community.

They wrote: “As leaders of the Jewish community in Harrow, we are writing to express our support for our Muslim friends and neighbours, especially those at Harrow Central Mosque, who are under attack from those whose only purpose is to spread hatred and fear.”

The rabbis used the letter to condemn the pro western civilization group, Stop Islamisation of Europe (SIOE), who is planning a protest outside the mosque in Station Road on Sunday, December 13.

The show of unity with Muslims from the Jewish rabbis is in defiance of a direct appeal by SIOE on its website for 1,000 Jews bearing the Israeli flag to turn up.

However, the rabbis hit out at SIOE’s “outrageous lies” which are “entirely without foundation” and accused the SIOE of spreading hatred and violence to divide the Harrow community.

The rabbis’ reaction is understandable. For thousands of years Jews have lived in captivity or as minorities among mostly hostile nations. Through these centuries they had to appease oppressive rulers for their survival. Sometimes they succeeded, but as the holocaust shows, many times they did not. Appeasement does not always pay off. It can be very risky.

A good example of this appeasement is the strong condemnation of the Iranian Jews of the state of Israel. On May 2007, Iran’s Jewish community, through their representative in the ersatz Islamic parliament, voiced “deep hatred” for the measures taken by the Zionist regime of Israel against Palestinians, and called for the immediate intervention of human rights bodies to stop Tel Aviv’s “brutalities and crimes.” [Fars News Agency]

No sane person would actually believe that Jews’ condemnation of Israel is made in good faith.. This statement has the same value of the “confessions” of the political prisoners obtained in the torture chambers of the Islamic regime.

The Jewish community in Iran has never been safe. Numbers speak for themselves. In 1948 there were 100,000 Jews living in Iran. Since then the population of Iran has quadrupled, but the number of Jews has dropped to 20,000. These “deeply hateful Zionists” that the Iranian Jews so vehemently condemn are their own sons, brothers, and cousins who have escaped Iran to seek refuge in Israel.

Jews have not invented appeasement but they have mastered it to such an extent that in Iran they have earned the reputation for cowardice. I cannot tell you how many jokes I heard about the timidity of the Jews when I was growing up in Iran.

Appeasement is always perceived as cowardice. It actually emboldens the bully who sees appeasement as the sign of weakness.

Yathreb, later named after Muhammad, “Madinat al Nabi” (Prophet’s Town), was home to three Jewish tribes. When Muhammad invaded one of those tribes, the other two did not come to help. They feared for their own lives and decided not to anger the tyrant. After Muhammad banished the Bani Qainuqa tribe and took possession of their belongings, he turned his attention to the Bani Nadir. Again the other tribe did not come to the defense of their brethrens. Muhammad banished the Bani Nadir and confiscated their belongings. At this time the Meccans attacked Medina. They came to punish Muhammad for all his raids and robberies. They asked the Bani Quraiza, the remaining Jewish tribe for help. But the Bani Quraiza feared that the Meccans may retreat leaving them at the mercy of Muhammad and refused to help. They even provided Muhammad with picks and shovels to dig a ditch around Medina, which protected him against the invaders.

In the cold of the winter, the army led by Abu Sufyan waited behind the ditches for the Bani Quraiza to join them in the battle. The Jews made excuses and did not show up. Eventually, Abu Sufyan’s patience wore out. He gathered his men, cursed the Jews and returned home.

No sooner than his army left the encampment, Muhammad laid siege on the fortress of the Bani Quraiza, cut off their supply of water and when they surrendered he beheaded all the men and threw their corpses in a ditch that had been dug with their own picks and shovels. He then took their wives and children as slaves.

The British rabbis are making the same mistake made by the rabbis of Yathreb. Should Muslims come to power, the Jews would be the first to lose their freedom and maybe their lives. Can’t the Harrow rabbis see the unbounded hatred that Muslims show towards the Jews? Do they really think all that hatred will go away through appeasement?

Although the Jews in Diaspora try to distance themselves from their brethren in Israel and some go as far as to malign and condemn the “evil Zionists,” Muslims’ enmity towards the Jews did not start with the state of Israel. Muslims hated the Jews before Israel existed and will continue to hate them even if Israel is nuked to extinction. The source of this hatred is in the Quran.

How can Muslims befriend the Jews when the Quran (9:29) says fight them, subdue them, and make them pay Jizyah (protection free) submissively? How can they like the Jews when the Quran (5:13) says “We have cursed them.” How can they be tolerant of the Jews when the Quran says, the Jews “strive to do mischief on earth” and their punishment specified in 5:33 is: “they will be killed or crucified, or have their hands and feet on alternate sides cut off, or will be expelled out of the land?”

The belief that Muslims will ever accept the Jews as equals is a delusion. This delusion is the result of the ignorance of the Quran and Islam. Because Muhammad was inimical to the Jews, Muslims will keep their hatred of the Jews alive until the “Last Day,” when they believe, stones and trees will call them, “Oh slave of Allah, there is a Jew hiding behind me, come and kill him.”

The Harrow rabbis hope to ensure the safety of the Jews through appeasement. Muslims see this as the sign of weakness. They will intensify their hostility, expecting the Jews to bend over backwards and appease them more. This is how bullies react to appeasement. The more you give the more they want. Meanwhile they despise you for your weakness.

Appeasement is a mistaken policy. The Bani Quraiza paid for their mistake with their lives. Had they come to the help of the Meccans and fought against Muhammad, Islam could have been defeated and ended then. They were massacred and an estimated 280 million lives were lost throughout these 1400 years as the result of their timidity.

Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it. Today the SIOE is fighting against the spread of Islam in Europe. The Jews must be the first to support them. Should Muslims come to power the Jews will be the first to lose.

I urge the Jews to disregard their rabbis who refuse to read the history and stand firm against the rising Islamic tyranny. Cowardice is not the answer.

I also urge the former Muslims to join the SIOE. We are all fighting the same fight. All of us must unite for our own survival. Our survival depends on the survival of Europe and the western civilization.
