Recep Tayyip Erdoğan |
Abdullah Bozkurt |
Dissident Turkish journalist Abdullah Bozkurt in his tweets is
drawing attention to what Turkish president Erdogan has been saying:
“#Turkey's president #Erdogan
says "those who think they own #Jerusalem better know that tomorrow they
won't even be able to hide behind trees" in a a reference to widely
circulated prophecy of hunting down & killing every Jew.
Turkish president #Erdogan
issues a veiled threat of killing each and every Jew with a shocking reference
to apocalyptic prophecy of tree story.”
Below are the hadiths Erdogan was referring to. At Davos, in 2009, Erdogan stormed out of the
meeting when Peres quoted
the Hamas Charter article taken from the same hadith.
Chapter : The Last
Hour would not come until a person would pass by a grave and wish that he
should have been the occupant of that grave because of this calamity.
Abu Huraira reported Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) as saying: The last hour would not come unless the Muslims will fight against the Jews and the Muslims would kill them until the Jews would hide themselves behind a stone or a tree and a stone or a tree would say: Muslim, or the servant of Allah, there is a Jew behind me; come and kill him; but the tree Gharqad would not say, for it is the tree of the Jews.
Abu Huraira reported Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) as saying: The last hour would not come unless the Muslims will fight against the Jews and the Muslims would kill them until the Jews would hide themselves behind a stone or a tree and a stone or a tree would say: Muslim, or the servant of Allah, there is a Jew behind me; come and kill him; but the tree Gharqad would not say, for it is the tree of the Jews.
Narated By Abu Huraira : Allah's
Apostle said, "The Hour will not be established until you fight with the
Jews, and the stone behind which a Jew will be hiding will say. "O Muslim!
There is a Jew hiding behind me, so kill him."
The Day of Judgement will not come about
until Moslems fight the Jews (killing the Jews), when the Jew will hide behind
stones and trees. The stones and trees will say O Moslems, O Abdulla, there is
a Jew behind me, come and kill him
