Kill Them Wherever You Find Them
Between the Quran and the Bible
By Jalal Abualrub
Gamil Farah, a fanatical Arab Christian who does not seem to have a clue as to what the Arabic Quran is talking about but who would like to forget what the Bible does talk about, wants us to distribute an article filled with lies:
Gamil: "Terrorize the enemies of Allah (non-Muslims)" (K 8:12)
The Arabic Quran (as it translates into English): {Your Lord revealed to the angels, “Verily, I am with you, so keep firm those who have believed. I will cast terror into the hearts of those who have disbelieved, so strike them over the necks, and smite over all their fingers and toes”}; [8:12].
1. Gamil used the wrong Ayah! Ayah 8:12 is about Allah throwing fear into the hearts of the combatant enemy and the angels helping in defeating them.
2. Gamil’s Bible has the quote that he wanted to defame Islam with: Joshua 2, “Joshua the son of Nun sent out of Shittim two men to spy secretly…And they went, and came into an harlot's house, named Rahab, and lodged there…And she said unto the men, I know that the Lord hath given you the land, and that your terror is fallen upon us, and that all the inhabitants of the land faint because of you...we have heard what ye did unto the two kings of the Amorites…Sihon and Og, whom ye utterly destroyed.”
Gamil: "Kill the infidels (non-Muslims) wherever you find them" (K 9:5)
The Arabic Quran is talking about Arab idol worshippers; Ayah 9:5 is not about Christian and Jews; Christians and Jews did not believe in the sacred months, Arab idol-worshippers did: {Then when the Sacred Months have passed, then kill the Mushrikûn wherever you find them, and capture them and besiege them, and lie in wait for them in each and every ambush. But if they repent [by rejecting Shirk (polytheism) and accept Islamic Monotheism] and perform As‑Salât (Iqâmat-as-Salât), and give Zakât, then leave their way free. Verily, Allâh is Oft-Forgiving, Most Merciful}; [9:4-5].
1. Gamil sympathizes with idol-worshipers against believers in Allah’s Oneness.
2. Gamil’s Bible does say what he falsely accuses Islam of saying: Joshua 8:1-27, “And the Lord said unto Joshua…take all the people of war with thee, and…go up to Ai…And thou shalt do to Ai and her king as thou didst unto Jericho and her king: only the spoil thereof, and the cattle thereof, shall ye take for a prey unto yourselves: lay thee an ambush for the city behind it…Then ye shall rise up from the ambush, and seize upon the city…And it shall be, when ye have taken the city, that ye shall set the city on fire: according to the commandment of the Lord shall ye do. See, I have commanded you…and they entered into the city, and took it, and hasted and set the city on fire. And when Joshua and all Israel saw that the ambush had taken the city, and that the smoke of the city ascended, then they turned again, and slew the men of Ai…they let none of them remain or escape…And it came to pass, when Israel had made an end of slaying all the inhabitants of Ai in the field, in the wilderness wherein they chased them (Remember: “Kill ‘Them’ Wherever You Find ‘Them’”?), and when they were all fallen on the edge of the sword, until they were consumed, that all the Israelites returned unto Ai, and smote it with the edge of the sword. And so it was, that all that fell that day, both of men and women, were twelve thousand, even all the men of Ai. For Joshua drew not his hand back, wherewith he stretched out the spear, until he had utterly destroyed all the inhabitants of Ai. Only the cattle and the spoil of that city Israel took for a prey unto themselves, according unto the word of the Lord which he commanded Joshua.”
Gamil: Jihad, the holy war (Jalal said: even you, Gamil, call Jihad ‘holy war’?) of Islam against non-Muslims (infidels), is the most sacred duty of Muslims. Dying for Allah in Jihad is the only assurance Muslims have of getting into Paradise.
Islam’s Prophet, salla-llahu `alaihi wa-sallam, declares Gamil as a dishonest man: “He who dies while not associating anyone or anything with Allah in worship will enter Paradise”; [Bukhari & Muslim]; “He who offers the two Bardain (Fajr and Asr) Prayers will enter Paradise”; [Bukhari & Muslim]; “Allah has ninety-none names, he who memorizes them will enter Paradise”; [Bukhari & Muslim], etc.
Conclusion: Gamil accuses Islam of what Islam does not say but what the Bible actually says; 1 Samuel 15:3: “Now go and smite Amalek, and utterly destroy all that they have, and spare them not; but slay both man and woman, infant and suckling, ox and sheep, camel and ass“; and before Gamil says that this is a figure of speech, his Bible says, 1 Samuel 22:19: “And Nob, the city of the priests, smote he with the edge of the sword, both men and women, children and sucklings, and oxen, and asses, and sheep, with the edge of the sword.” How Perfect of Nob to fulfill the very violent commandment of the Prince of Peace, so we are told!
Gamil also lies when he says that Allah is the moon-god:
1. His Arabic Bible calls Allah, ‘Allah’, not ‘God’, which Esa never uttered!
2. Allah said in the Quran, {And from among His Signs are the night and the day, and the sun and the moon. Prostrate yourselves not to the sun, nor to the moon, but prostrate yourselves to Allâh Who created them, if you (really) worship Him}; [41:37].
3. What does the Bible promise the liars: Revelation 21:8, “But the fearful, and unbelieving, and the abominable, and murderers, and whoremongers, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone: which is the second death.”
Gamil Farah is invited to an event that Jalal Abualrub is willing to participate in, providing Gamil Farah does too and proves to be the one Christian who is not afraid to debate with Muslims, or at least with this Muslim:
