A Muslim cleric draws an inspiring lesson from Islamic history.
"We are thirsty for blood!"
Islamic cleric Sheikh El Tayeb Mohamed Ahmed, aligned with the Sudanese army, calls for jihad, invokes Islamic teachings of drinking the blood of the Romans, then declares Sudanese (SAF) are now “thirsty to drink the blood” of the RSF.

When Jews and Christians look back into history and tell stories of their saints and heroes, they generally speak of people who held to the faith under immense pressure, even unto death. Or people who were extraordinarily generous and magnanimous. Or people who spoke a courageous and inspiring word that rallied the faithful and a crucial time. In Islamic tradition, however, as is so often the case, the situation is different.
Islam has its saints and its holy people. Some of them even follow the pattern of such people in other religions: people who were killed for refusing to renounce the faith, or who are renowned for their holiness and wisdom. Yet a large number of the revered Islamic heroes of past ages are jihad warriors who are beloved today because they killed infidels, and often offered a few choice words as they did so.
Last week, a video began circulating of a Muslim cleric in Sudan, Sheikh El Tayeb Mohamed Ahmed, passionately preaching a sermon in a mosque while wearing military fatigues and clutching a rifle. Happens every day at your church, right? The pastor comes out in fatigues and brandishes his Smith & Wesson M&P 15 Sport III while preaching, doesn’t he?
Anyway, the pious El Tayeb Mohamed Ahmed, speaking in Arabic but overdubbed in English, declared: “And Ibn Walid negotiated with the Romans offering them security while he held the reins. Did he not answer them with the answer of death?… ‘I am thirsty for the blood of the Romans,’ and we say it we say it in the name of the people. And this people is thirsty for the blood of the militia… and this people is thirsty for the blood of the militia to support the oppressed, to support the orphans, to support…”
Ahmed was referring to the Battle of Yarmouk, which Islamic tradition records as a magnificent and decisive victory of a vastly outnumbered Muslim force over the Roman armies in Syria. This was a staggering loss for the Romans and opened the door to the conquest and Islamization of all of the Middle East.
The Battle of Yarmouk took place in the year 636, a massive Roman force came to meet the much smaller invading Muslim force under the command of Khalid ibn al-Walid at Yarmouk. According to Islamic tradition, the Roman general, Vahan, offered to pay Khalid off, saying to him: “It looks as if poverty, nakedness and starvation has compelled you to come here. If you wish, I am willing to give each of you ten dinars, expensive clothing and good food. You can take these things and leave. Next year too I can send you these things; you do not have to take the trouble to come here.”
Khalid responded: “Vahan, listen to me very carefully! You are mistaken about the reason why we are here. We are people who drink the blood of our opponents. We have heard that Roman blood is very delicious, and we have come here to enjoy it.”
Ahmed is telling his congregation this story because he wants them to emulate Khalid ibn Walid’s thirst for blood. He apparently supports the Sudanese army in its armed struggle against the rival Rapid Support Forces (RSF), and says that the Sudanese military is now “thirsty to drink the blood” of the RSF.
How inspiring. It should not be a surprise, however, that any Muslim cleric would call for bloodshed or praise a long-ago military hero for his bloodlust. After all, the Qur’an is full of exhortations to kill non-Muslims and establish the hegemony of Islam. Although smooth-talking Islamic apologists in the West do their best to obscure the fact that the Qur’an contains statements including “Kill them wherever you find them” (2:191, 4:89, 4:91, cf. 9:5) and “When you meet the unbelievers, strike the necks” (47:4), or to dismiss them as long-outdated exhortations pertaining only to seventh-century situations, innumerable clerics, like Sheikh Ahmed, know those passages exist, know that mainstream Islam holds them valid for all time, and are eager to act on them.
Sure, but that’s in Sudan, right? It could never happen here. Here, the moderates are in charge, right? Not really. It would be more accurate to say that here, Islam’s supremacist imperative is advancing swiftly without violence. Violence, in fact, would only retard its progress. The outcome, however, will be the same here as it has been for all other jihads.

‘Islam had its saints and holy people’. No doubt Al Capone & Co. had their entourage of ‘holy people’ as well, but the police usually took care of their ‘salvation’ for them.Too bad there no police around weren’t around for the ‘prophet’s’ motley crew of ‘saints’.
Siddhi Nasranni says
Thirsty for BLOOD, well you need to go back to your Holy Quran & read it again, moron.
Islamic Ruling
Islam strictly forbids the consumption of blood, whether in liquid or solid form. The Quran explicitly states: “Forbidden to you (for food) are dead animals, blood, the flesh of swine, and that which is sacrificed to other than Allah” (Al-Ma’idah 5:3) and “He has forbidden you only the dead animals, and blood, and the flesh of swine…” (Al-Baqarah 2:173)

. This prohibition applies to all types of blood, including flowing blood from animals and human blood, as it is considered impure (najis)

How many, and what are the names, of those who adhere to the slime in “holiness and wisdom”?
‘saints and holy people” in the devil’s slime? How many would be called by those titles, say by someone like John Quincy Adams?
Or how many would be seen as “saints and holy people” by Jesus Christ? Which ones would Jesus say were “holy and wise”?

Bloodthirsty and dangerously vicarious destructive Muslim terrorists always have been in the past and still are. Such death inflecting men horrendously evil men as they are aren’t even original , such villainous characters to back in history and far as to ancient times. An example this is that the Bible reads “Their feet ate swift to shed blood ’Destruction and misery are in their ways: : and the way of peace they have not known.” Romans 3:15-17. [N.K.J.V.]
Furthermore, many people assume that “Radical Islamic Terrorism” to be a “warped” or “hijacked” form of Islam. Yet the terrible harsh reality is that the actual religion of Islam is the entire foundation of Islamic terrorism or otherwise accurately, but seldom called what is really is, which is “Muslim terrorism.”
For Islam’s “holy book” the Qur ‘an [the Koran] instructs on the use of violence and killing for the advancement of Islam.
As found in ,for example 2:191. 4:89. 5:33. 9:5,111,123. 47:4. This may be illustrated that if Islam is represented as a tree then the fruits then the fruits of that tree are the many brutal, violent and deadly jihad terror entities. ISIS , al Qaeda , Hamas Hezbollah, and Islamic jihad and so forth
With this statement, the Wisdom of the teachings of Jesus may, very much, apply to this subject. For Jesus taught, “You do know them by their fruits. Do men gather grapes of thorns, or figs of thistles? Even so every good tree bears forth good fruit; but a bad tree bears bad fruit. A good tree cannot bear bad fruit, nor can a bad tree bear good fruit.” After saying, this Jesus told them what He told them when He said “By their fruit you will know them.” Matthew 7:16, 17, 18,.20.
In conclusion, Islam is a corrupt tree and also a false religion, Proverbs 14:12. John 14:6. First John 2:22,23. 4:14,15. 5:12,13,20.
