Collins Report

By Kevin “Coach” Collins

Sensing the apparent weakness in the new American/Israel alliance that will come about when Barack Obama is sworn in next January, the Palestinian Authority is beginning to turn up the heat in the Middleeast. Mahmoud Abbas the PA president is talking about re- injecting the so-called Arab Peace Initiative into their to destroy Israel under the guise of seeking peace in the region.
This “plan” has been around the block a few times and is nothing more than a naked grab at Israel’s throat. First unveiled in February 2002 when the PA thought the Bush Administration would be vulnerable in the immediate post 9-11 period, it has gone nowhere; for good reason.

Under its provisions Israel would be forced to withdraw from all the lands she had taken in the Six Day War, even the areas around Jerusalem in exchange for a promise of “normalized” relations with the Arab world. Yes everyone would hold hands and sing around a campfire and never fight again.

In a full court press effort to soften up Israel, the PA is now appealing directly to the “Israeli street” extoling the virtues of peace with their “Arab brothers.”

The treachery must be seen for what it is. It is a ready made example of the exemption from guilt for lying to enemies provided by Surah 3:28 of the Qu ‘ran. This verse absolves Islamists from any sin connected to tricking enemies with lies and deceit.

Those Muslims who adhere to the Verses of the Sword as the leaders of the PA most certainly do, can not be trusted because of this “loophole” in their religious laws. Israel can not be naive or she will be pushed into the sea. Surah 8:30 reminds followers “War is deception.” Israel and the PA are in a state of war.

” Can Muslim countries be trusted to play it fair and keep their end of the agreements that they sign with non-Muslim nations?

“It is imperative that our leaders not be naïve. They must understand that Muslims can use this loophole in their religion to absolve them from any accountability when they revert to deceptive tactics. They can unashamedly do so, as they adhere to Mohammed, the prophet of Islam, who was quoted as saying “War is a deception.” The Allah of Islam is described in the Quran as “the best of deceivers.” Surah 8:30.

“Let not the believers Take for friends or helpers Unbelievers rather than believers: if any do that, in nothing will there be help from Allah: except by way of precaution, that ye may Guard yourselves from them. But Allah cautions you (To remember) Himself; for the final goal is to Allah.” Surah 3: 28

“According to this verse it is acceptable for Muslims to use deceptive tactics. In violation to the teachings of Islam, they can pretend to befriend infidels. In situations where real or imagined harm is perceived they are permitted to display adherence with the ideals of those considered as infidels.

“It is important to understand that Muslims take great liberty in expanding the perimeters of circumstances under which they are permitted to lie and to use deceptive tactics. When dealing with Muslim leaders it is essential to keep in mind that they can say or do anything that will get them out of trouble. All the while, they are apt to have just the opposite agenda in their hearts. With this in mind, in matters pertaining to war and international politics, there is a question that we need to ask ourselves. ”
