Allah says: Those Jews Condemned Themselves to Slaughter

Reader comment on item: Assessing Obama's Cairo Speech

Submitted by Bronson (Australia), Jun 9, 2009 at 23:04

Obama quoted the famous passage in the Koran where Allah says "....if you take an innocent life, it is as if you take the life of the whole of mandkind, ...if you save an innocent life....it is as if you save the whole of mankind," and points out that Allah was not giving these words of wisdom to the Muslims but was recounting to them that he had given them to the Jews.

What he didn't point out is that Allah was informing the Muslims about this piece from the Jewish scriptures to justify the command that he was about to give them: That command was to slaughter Jews!

Allah explained to the Muslims not to feel squeamish about this because he (Allah) had said the words (quoted by Obama) to the Jews and so they knew if they killed anyone then it would be as if they killed the whole of mankind. (And under the Jewish law of an eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth that meant death).

What had those sneaky Jews done, well they'd killed (said Allah) some Muslims (who maybe had told the Jews to convert or die). So those Jews had invoked the first part of Allah's instruction.

Therefore they had brought their slaugher upon themselves as divine punishment for disobeying Allah.

Allah Akbar, Allah Akbar.
