Walid Shoebat

I was not only a terrorist, but I was terrorized by my beliefs since I had to gain enough merit and good deeds to go to heaven but never was sure if my good deeds would outweigh my bad deeds in the scale when I would be judged by God, it was taught to us that to die fighting the Jews would ease Allah's anger towards my sins and I would be secured a good spot in heaven with beautiful wide eyed women to fulfill my most intimate desires, so either way through actual attacks on Jews, or if I were to be killed in the attempt, I would win – terror was the only way.

We considered ourselves Jordanian until the Jews returned to Jerusalem. Then all of the sudden we were Palestinians – they removed the star from the Jordanian flag and all at once we had a Palestinian flag.

What the West does not understand about Islam …, is that Jihad has stages. If Muslims have the upper hand, then Jihad is waged by force. If Muslim’s don’t have the upper hand then Jihad is waged through financial and political means. Since Muslims do not have the upper hand in America or Europe, they talk about peace while supporting Hamas and Hezbollah. The whole idea of Islam being a peaceful religion emanates from that silent stage of Jihad.

This characteristic of much of Islam is corroborated by Islamic scholars and politicians. To some, the implication is that it is foolish to negotiate with Muslims over issues that have been classified as jihad. The negotiation is only a sham which will go on until Islam feels strong enough, and then force and violence will be used. While this is historically and culturally true, many Muslims have modernized and see the world in terms of vested interests and negotiated settlements and compromise just like most others. And there have been many non-Islamic ideologues who have also used negotiations and diplomacy as a smokescreen to buy them time to strengthen militarily and then have used force and violence.

The first thing we learned growing up was to hate Jews. I’ll never forgot the first song I learned in school, ‘Arabs our beloved and Jews our dogs.’ I used to wonder at that time who the Jews were, but repeated the words with the rest of the kids without any knowledge of the meaning.

The teaching of hatred towards other people—especially people of a different religion has a long and tragic history. The Palestinians and other Muslims did not invent or even perfect the technique which was ongoing before Islam began and reached a low point in WWII Nazi Germany. But in the modern world, most other religions and people have put a stop to the overt teaching of hatred. The Muslims alone invest large resources towards teaching hate of Americans, The West, Jews, Israel
