Palestinian Legislative Council Member 'Umm Nidal' on Saudi Iqra TV: A Muslim Mother Should Raise Her Children for Jihad!

Topics: Understanding Islam

Lest you have any doubt whatsoever as to what the West is up against in our battle against radical Islam, or that you forget for even a moment that we are dealing with a mentality that "belongs to the Middle Ages, not that of the 21st century" - from MEMRI, comes astonishingly chilling excerpts of insanity and insight into Islam, from an interview with Palestinian Legislative Council member "Umm Nidal" Farhat, aired on Saudi Iqra TV, on February 19, 2006:

(...) "A Muslim mother should raise her children on prayer, good deeds, and, of course, on Jihad, which is one of the duties on which we should raise our children."

(...) "Jihad in Islam is a duty that one cannot forego. It is like any other religious duty. If we understand the true meaning of Islam, the notion of Jihad will be included among the Islamic duties, and in Palestine - an individual duty. If we are remiss in this duty, we sin."

(...) "Israelis are Not Civilians and There are No Prohibitions on Killing Them. I am Willing to Sacrifice all My Sons"

You can see the video here, and read excerpts of the transcript here. Clearly, in the words of Wafa Sultan (video), the difference between the West and the Islamists, is the difference between civilization and backwardness, between the civilized and the primitice, between barbarity and rationality. There is no other way to explain it.
