Abu
Mazen's December 20, 2011 public embrace of Amna Muna - a ruthless
Palestinian terrorist - exposes Abu Mazen's authentic ideology.
Notwithstanding Abu Mazen's moderate demeanor, the televised session
with Amna Muna, and other Palestinian terrorists, was consistent with
Abu Mazen's own K-12 hate-education system, which heralds terrorism, in
general, and suicide bombing, in particular.
It is compatible with the
monthly allowances paid by Abu Mazen's administration to families of
suicide bombers and imprisoned terrorists; with his naming of streets,
squares and sport tournaments after terrorists; with his 50 years track
record as Arafat's top confidant and deputy; with his holocaust denial
Ph.D. thesis at Moscow University; with his involvement in the 1972
Munich Massacre of eleven Israeli Olympians; with his active support of
the 1990 Saddam Hussein's invasion of Kuwait; with his betrayal of
Syria's Hafiz Assad, Jordan's King Hussein, Lebanon's government and
Kuwait's Sheikh Sabah; with his stewardship of PLO-Communist Bloc ties
and his KGB training.
While Western policy-makers and public
opinion molders assume that Abu Mazen has renounced terrorism and
violence, the "Good Cop" accords enhances the legitimacy of Amna Muna,
whom fellow female terrorists named "the Ramallah Satan" for her
sadistic virulence, biting and pouring boiling wax and oil on the face
of those who dared challenge her.
Abu Mazen is true to his roots
from the 1950s, in Egypt, where he was a key operative of the Muslim
Brotherhood , which fervently believes in a divinely-ordained Islamic
domination of the globe, religiously and territorially. Abu Mazen refers
to terrorists and suicide bombers - who intentionally and
systematically murder, maim and intimidate civilians - as "freedom
fighters."
In fact, Abu Mazen's engagement with terrorism is in
line with Islamic history since the murder of Muhammad's successors:
Umar ibn al-Khattab was stabbed to death at a mosque in Medina in 644
AD; Uthman ibn Affan was assassinated in 656 AD; Ali ibn Abi Talib was
slain in 661 AD outside a mosque in Kufa. Most contemporary Muslim
regimes rise to power through violence and terrorism, rule through
state-sponsored terrorism and lose power to elements, which are more
skillful with tools of violence. In 1829, John Quincy Adams, the 6th US
President, wrote: "The precept of the Koran is perpetual war against all
who deny that Mohammad is the prophet of God."
While most
Muslims are not terrorists, most contemporary terrorists are Muslims,
haunting Muslim societies, and increasingly exporting Islamic terrorism
all over the globe: the USA, India, Britain, Russia, Australia, Holland,
Argentina, Sri Lanka, Israel, Thailand, Columbia, Spain, France, etc.
The
Abu Mazen/Arafat regime, which has dominated the Palestinian Authority
since its establishment in 1993, has indoctrinated an entire generation
with terrorist-driven hate-education and incitement via PA-controlled
schools, mosques and media. For instance, the Palestinian Authority
curriculum and incitement machine include the following excerpts from
the Quran: "Jews and disbelievers [defined as Christians in 5/73] are
the most vehement in hatred for the Muslims (Quran 5/82);" Jews are
damned (Quran 5/64); "Believers, take not Jews and Christians for your
friends. They are but friends and protectors to each other (Qur'an
5/51);" Jews are children of monkeys and pigs (Quran 5/60); Jews are
murderers of prophets (Quran 2/91); Jews falsified the Holy Scriptures
(Quran 1/7); Jews must pay head tax while humiliated (Quran 9/29);
Killing Jews is a prerequisite for Latter Days (Hadith-tradition).
The
Abu Mazen education system has entrenched the idolization of
martyrdom/suicide bombing and terrorism. Thus, a significant segment of
the population believes that Paradise is awaiting Shahids, who are
killed while conducting Jihad ("Holy War") against Jews; that Shahids
will be rewarded, in sickness, poverty, humiliation and predicament-free
Paradise, by 72 beautiful dark-eyed virgins, by the potency of 100
males, by jewel-platted beds, by commutation of all sins, by ushering 70
friends and relatives to Paradise, by becoming celebrities among their
peers and by benefitting from eternal youth.
Former First Lady,
Laura Bush boldly expressed, in a 2002 interview with The El Paso Time,
the typical Western attitude toward Palestinian mothers: "Can I
empathize with a mother who sends her child out to kill herself and
others? No!"
Terror-driven education and the disregard and abuse
of human rights - brainwashing people to terrorism and suicide bombing -
have been the root cause of Islamic terrorism since the 7th century. It
has been the core of 14 centuries of raging intra-Islamic conflicts,
and the crux of the Arab-Israeli conflict.
The focus on Road Maps,
Quartet Initiative, UN resolutions, sweeping Israeli concessions (e.g.
importing the PLO from terrorists camps in Yemen to the gates of
Jerusalem and Tel Aviv), and US pressure for further concessions, have
not produced peace. They have diverted attention away from the heart of
the matter: state-sponsored terror-oriented education. They have fueled
the fire of terrorism, which was dramatically lower before Oslo.
The
pursuit of durable peace on one hand and hate-education on the other
hand constitutes an oxymoron, which has haunted all peace initiatives
since Oslo. The pursuit of durable peace - and not a delusional,
ceremonial peace process - mandates the uprooting of hate education and
incitement as a prerequisite to any negotiation.
