Why does the PA Ministry of Religious Affairs think that “Palestinians” are fighting in defense of Islam? Because every last explanation of the conflict from “Palestinians” and their allies involves Islam, yet that is the one aspect of the conflict that every last Western foreign policy “expert” and policymaker ignores. Find out why this is a disastrous case of willful ignorance in The Palestinian Delusion.
“‘The victory of Allah will come… in spite of the infidels’ – PA Ministry of Religion’s instructions for mosque preachers,” by Nan Jacques Zilberdik, Palestinian Media Watch, June 23, 2023
Every week, the PA Ministry of Religious Affairs dictates talking points for all PA mosque preachers for the upcoming Friday sermon through a sheet of instructions. As Palestinian Media Watch has exposed, the preachers can’t freely choose their own subjects.
A recent example is the letter above. It instructs preachers to teach worshippers that “Almighty Allah” will be victorious and “send His light in spite of the infidels.” The word “infidels” of course refers to the Jews in “Palestine” – which according to the PA includes all of the State of Israel:
“Through faith, piety, endurance, and carrying out Ribat, the victory of Almighty Allah will come and will stabilize our legs, Allah will send His light in spite of the infidels.”

The PA preachers are also to praise worshippers for “their defense of the religion, and the homeland”:
“The resolve of those carrying out Ribat (i.e., religious conflict over land claimed to be Islamic) on the holy land at the front line and their defense of the religion, the land, and the homeland, embody the most magnificent acts of heroism and sacrifice.”…
abu taleb says
Why don’t the PA preachers themselves fight in ‘defense of the religion’ and only praise and urge their people to do that? Don’t they believe that they will go straight away to heaven if they die and will be married to 72 eternal virgins?
Those preachers must have been thinking that the suffered life under Israel’s “occupation” is still better than the life with 72 virgins in heaven.
