As Mashal thanks his useful idiots on the left, it’s noteworthy that what he says here aligns with traditional Islamic theology: “Today, the Islamic nation is obligated to join this blessed Jihadi Flood.” In classic Sunni theology and law, only the caliph is authorized to declare offensive jihad. However, the article ignores the distinction between offensive and defensive jihad. Only the caliph can declare offensive jihad, and that jihad is an obligation on the community as a whole (fard kifaya); an individual is released from it if others are taking it up. But all the schools of Islamic jurisprudence agree that when a non-Muslim force enters a Muslim land, defensive jihad becomes the individual obligation of every Muslim (fard ‘ayn) rather than a collective obligation of the entire umma, and need not be declared by anyone.
One manual of Islamic law, Bulghah al-Salik li-Aqrab al-Masalik fi madhhab al-Imam Malik (“The Sufficiency of the Traveller on the Best Path in the School of Imam Malik”), says this: “Jihad in the Path of Allah, to raise the word of Allah, is fard kifayah [obligatory on the community] once a year, so that if some perform it, the obligation falls from the rest. It becomes fard `ayn [obligatory on every Muslim individually], like salah and fasting, if the legitimate Muslim Imam declares it so, or if there is an attack by the enemy on an area of people.”
“Hamas Leader Abroad Khaled Mashal: We Thank The Great ‘Student Flood’ At American Universities; We Want A ‘Legal Flood’ In The Hague; Annihilating The Zionists Is Good For Humanity; Being Far Away Doesn’t Absolve Us From Jihad And Resistance,” MEMRI, May 18, 2024:
Hamas leader abroad Khaled Mashal said in his May 18, 2024 address to the Flood of the Free conference hosted by the Muslims Brotherhood in Istanbul, Turkey that the Al-Aqsa Flood war is good for Mankind, for the Muslims, and Arabs, their countries, and their security and stability. He thanked the “great student Flood” emerging from America, European, and Western universities. Mashal called for a “financial Flood” supplying Palestinians with food and other supplies, as well as weapons for the mujahideen. He called for a “media Flood” spreading the Palestinian narrative and a “legal Flood” such as in the international courts in the Hague. Mashal said: “We should prosecute the criminal killers.” He added that being far away from Palestine does not absolve Muslims from Jihad and resistance, and he called for a “Jihadi Flood.” Khaled Mashal’s address was posted on the Global Coalition for Quds and Palestine on Facebook. At the same conference, Indian Islamic scholar Maulana Salman Hussaini Nadwi called for Muslims worldwide to attack Israel, eliminate “this worm,” and destroy Tel Aviv (see MEMRI TV clip 11102).
Khaled Mashal: “We thank the great student Flood, which emerged from the American, European, and Western universities, and has reached all the countries of our nation. We are grateful for the spirit that we have witnessed in our nation, and in humanity as a whole. We are grateful to the free people of the world.”

“The world is changing. Gaza has changed the region and the world. Gaza has revealed the nobility of humanity.”
[…]
“We have the opportunity to defeat Israel, Allah willing. We have an opportunity to dismantle the Zionist enterprise.”
[…]
“We have an opportunity to change the world, and to make Palestine a blessing to Mankind, by annihilating the Zionists and their sinful enterprise.”
[…]
“Three major steps are required from you. The first step is to continue what you started immediately following October 7. The activities and the programs that you have held throughout the past 8 months – you should continue them.”
[…]
“Continue your financial Jihad. We want a continuous financial Flood, in support of Gaza, to provide the people shelter, aid, and food, in support of the mujahideen, and in order to buy weapons for them.”
[…]
“We want a Flood of the public, we want the millions to return to the streets.”
[…]
“We want the masses of our nation to remain in the streets, in support of the war in Gaza, Jerusalem, and the West Bank. They should declare their rage against the Zionists and their supporters. We want a flood in the form of a siege of the Israeli and American embassies. We want constant rage that will stop this aggression. We want a media Flood that will deliver its message. We want the truthful Palestinian narrative to reach far and to control all social media platforms and all forums. We want a legal Flood, like in the Hague. We should prosecute the criminal killers. We stand by South Africa and the countries that have now joined it – Turkey, Libya, and Egypt.”
[…]
“The second step is that we want to become involved in the battle of Jihad and resistance. Today, we have a greater duty to do more than all we have done before. Indeed, on several fronts, there is blessed participation in the Jihad, and we are grateful to the people behind it. We want total integration in the battle on the ground. Today, we want a Flood of Jihad and resistance.”
[…]
“Being far way [sic] does not absolve us from the duty of Jihad and resistance. This is a great honor. When the Muslims recaptured Palestine, Jerusalem and the Al-Aqsa Mosque from the Crusaders, this duty was not shouldered only by the people of Palestine or the Levant. The entire nation came under the banner of Saladin. Today, the Islamic nation is obligated to join this blessed Jihadi Flood. When it does, we will see wonders.”
[…]
“By Allah, the Al-Aqsa Flood war is good for all of you. It is good for the Arabs, the Muslims, your countries, your security, and stability.
“It is good for Mankind, because annihilating the Zionists is good for humanity as a whole.”

Annihilating the amoral, barbaric, low-IQ, Islamofascist savages like HamAss is good for humanity as a whole.

Hamas leader abroad Khaled Mashal declared in his speech “We stand by South Africa and the countries that have now joined it – Turkey, Libya, and Egypt.” some of the other countries ,after naming South Africa is China then named three Muslim countries that are also part of this “united front” against Israel to, in the jihad, to destroy her,.
Those two communist nations , China and South Africa along with those Islamic nations is yet another demonically sinister aspect of the dangerous diabolical movement known as the “Red/Green alliance.”
All this is ,somewhat, similar to the information provided in the Bible which informs the reader about the nations that hate Israel and want to destroy her. For Psalm 83 ;2 -5 reads “For behold ,Your enemies make a tumult: and those who hate You have lifted up their head. They have taken crafty counsel against your people, and consulted together against Your sheltered ones.They have said ‘Come ,and let us cut them off from being a nation , that the mane of Israel may be remembered no more.’ For they have consulted together with one consent;They form a confederacy againt you.” [N.K.J.V.]
Nevertheless, all that scheming and violent hate will get the enemies of Israel nowhere, for further in that exact same chapter in verses 16:17 it reads “.God will “Fill their faces with shame , that they may seek Your name O Lord . Let them be confounded forever…”

Not mozlum, nowhere near what mozlums see as a caliph.
But we here can all “declare islamic jihad” *offensive.*
Do any of the students who participated in the encampments, the street riots, chanting at the ill children in the hospital “shame’ and the little kids at school “baby-killers” hear these mozlums and what they are saying?
Are any of them listening to the ‘annihilating’ and the “raising the sword” threats?
Do any of them feel ashamed? Many had no clue about the whole thing…’river to the sea’ and all the other things the mobs were saying, and even themselves saying.
Of course, the mozlums everywhere who use every little thing they see which makes their goals seem to be within reach, will never feel shame for their evil thoughts and their demonic intent.

When that Hamas chief spoke about a united way by some countries against Israel . That top dog of Hamas said “We stand by South Africa and the countries that have now joined it – Turkey, Libya, and Egypt.”
That Hamas head actually exposed his ignorance about who thins will come to be. For that such a united front is fated to fail in it’s goal to destroy Israel because God love Israel ,so he will not let her be destroyed , In fact ,God loves Israel so much that He even views her as His “special treasure.” Psalm 135:4. [N.K.J.V.]
What more, such an alliance against Israel in not only going fail but those who take part in this confederacy against Israel will even come to harm . Sad but true.. For the Bible informs it reader that “Though they join forces,the wicked will not go unpunished .” Proverbs 11:21.

And God cannot be sanctioned by facebook for speaking against Islam and the muslims. i would like to see facebook try that, and face God’s angry wrath. Soon it would be an empty book without a face !
somehistory says
The God of the Bible, Almighty God, has a ‘book’ of His own.
“A book of remembrance is being written up before Him….”
It’s a “book” naming those who gain His favor.
