The reaction of
Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas after the terrorists involved in
the murder of Hadas Malka and a simultaneous attack nearby were killed by the
police was to issue a statement that their deaths were a “war crime.”
The jihadists live in an alternate ethical universe. This is the time to expose it to the world.
Where does it come from? Ibn Warraq, the pen name of one of the great Islamic scholars of today, wrote recently: “Again during the caliphate of Umar, al-Mughirag b. Shu’bah says to his Persian adversary Rustam, ‘If you kill us, we enter Paradise; if we kill you, you shall enter fire,’ while the Muslim commander, Zuhrah b. Hawiyyah al-Tamimi, says to Rustam, ‘We do not come to you looking for things of this world; our desire and aspiration is the hereafter.’”
