The Muslim Brotherhood in the Arab World and Islamic Communities in Western Europe

The emblem of the Muslim Brotherhood in Jordan. The white circle is imprinted with the movement's militant motto: Allah is our objective, the prophet [Muhammad] is our leader, the Qur'an is our law, jihad is our way, death for the sake of Allah is our most exalted aspiration."

We, Israel after our real teshuvah shall: Isa 11:14 But they (Yudah and Ephraim) shall fly down upon the shoulder of the Philistines toward the west; together they plunder the people of the east, their hand stretching forth on Eḏom and Mo’aḇ, and the children of Ammon shall be subject to them.

Now PA TV has broadcast a song accusing Israel of being the one fighting a religious war "in your name, oh God." The song demonizes Israel as an oppressor that "tortured" Palestinians and "usurped" Palestinian land, all in the name of religion.
