The key difference between Jesus and the Final Prophet, SAW, in fact between over a 100,000 previous Prophets since Adam, AS, and the Final Prophet, was that Prophet Muhammed actually established a just and compassionate state, which had to be defended and whose principles needed to be reinforced, including worship only of the one true God. To provide additional context on the Prophet SAW deathbed instructions: 1. The emphasis on prayer: One of his final exhortations was: "Prayer, prayer! And (be mindful of) those whom your right hands possess." He kept repeating this until his speech became faint. 2. His final words about the Highest Companions: In the last moments before his death, while resting against Aishah (RA), he looked upward and said: "With those upon whom Allah has bestowed His favour—the Prophets, the truthful, the martyrs, and the righteous... O Allah, the Highest Companion (Ar-Rafīq al-Aʿlā)." He repeated: "The Highest Companion." 3. Warning against turning graves into places of worship Shortly before his death he said: "May Allah curse the Jews and the Christians, for they took the graves of their prophets as places of worship." He said this to warn his followers against doing the same. 4. His concern for the Muslim community: He also instructed: "Expel the polytheists from the Arabian Peninsula, and honour the delegations as I used to honour them." His final words According to the strongest narrations from Aishah (RA), the last words he uttered before his soul departed were: اللَّهُمَّ الرَّفِيقَ الْأَعْلَى "O Allah, the Highest Companion." or simply: "The Highest Companion." This is the narration most scholars identify as his final spoken words before his death.

@yhuss2000 @mitchellvii On the other hand, Christ died asking God to forgive his enemies, the people murdering him

It's honestly confusing. Iran was set up to have about $100 billion in assets unfrozen. In addition, they were going to get $300 billion in investments from their Arab neighbors. All they had to do was stop acting like assholes for 5 minutes. They literally couldn't do it. They fired on shipping and bombed their Arab neighbors, the very countries that would be investing $300 billion in them. And all to to get a nuke that would be a suicide mission if they ever used it? I honestly feel sorry for President Trump. How do you negotiate with crazy people?

First, he was on his deathbed. He didn't want his grave to become a shrine for worship. He did not even want people to bow when they met him. He said people could stand up out respect, as he did for his daughter when she entered. Second, he is saying the one true God only wants that He be worshipped and no human. Therefore, God would curse people who built graves for worship. He is not talking about worldly punishment by people. The Prophet Issac, AS, will return to clarify to Christians who is the one true God before the End of Times. The Quran and the Prophet SAW are quite clear: Protect Christians and Jews in Muslim lands, do not impede their worship, ensure they are treated justly. The Caliph Ali, RA, son-in-law of the Prophet, lost a case to a Jewish shopkeeper.

@yhuss2000 @mitchellvii “When the last moment of the life of Allah’s Messenger came … he said, ‘May Allah curse the Jews and the Christians, for they built the places of worship at the graves of their prophets.’”

@ToddCWatsonLaw @mitchellvii Correct. Quote it.

@yhuss2000 @mitchellvii According to an LLM, which you recommended I use for clarity: “One of the best-known narrations comes from the collections of Sahih al-Bukhari and Sahih Muslim:”

@ToddCWatsonLaw @mitchellvii Which aspect of "Ridiculous" or "No" do you not understand? If you were some ancient spirit hovering at that time, do share.

@yhuss2000 @mitchellvii Are you sure about that?

@hashurtag Iran didn't attack any country, didn't bomb schools and hospitals, didn't rob anyone's money, was not building a nuclear bomb, only supported freedom fighters. Wanton killing of civilians is un-Islamic and constitutes terrorism. 🇵🇰❤️🇮🇷❤️🇸🇦

Don’t cry now. You guys want to toll the world against their wishes so you don’t get to lecture anybody about seizing assets. Your only misfortune is that there is a bigger, global bad guy who is frustrating your dreams of becoming the regional bad guy. The U.S.’ belligerence doesn’t make your belligerence okay.

@ToddCWatsonLaw @mitchellvii No

@yhuss2000 @mitchellvii You didn’t answer my question. Did Mohammed, or did he not, ask God to punish Christians and Jews with his final breaths?

Ridiculous gaslighting. To the contrary, he passed a Fatwa directing Christians in Muslim Lands would be protected and be free to practise their religion and their customs till Eternity. The rapid expansion of the early Islamic state right after the death of the Prophet Muhammad in 632 CE is one of the most stunning military and geopolitical turnarounds in human history, in which both the Persians and the Byzantines, the superpowers of their age were vanquished. When one can do that, why would one waste time in cursing? Muslims were imbued with the spirit of helping the downtrodden, the outcasts, the weak as per the dictates of the one true God. That built such moral courage and clarity at the time, such energy, that it has not been witnessed since. Battles were fought with honour and mercy in accordance with Allah's command not to transgress in war. That meant no harm to non-combatants, not even burning down of orchards or crops.

@yhuss2000 @mitchellvii Did or did Muhammad not, with his dying breath, ask for god to punish the Christians and Jews?

@ToddCWatsonLaw @mitchellvii LLM it. Lift the veil of deception.

@yhuss2000 @mitchellvii You could only say that ottoman rule and Muslim conquest was benign if you didn’t know about it or intended to deceive. I’m not deceived.

@ToddCWatsonLaw @mitchellvii You point one finger, three point back at you. Not the recipe to work out peace. You must start with the premise that there are sane people on both sides genuinely seeking peace. If you don't, then it is war.

@yhuss2000 @mitchellvii I think Israel could happily coexist with Palestinians if they would stop trying to murder Jews. But Palestinians will not do this, seem incapable of doing this

Yes that is an issue. China assembled the dozen or so leaders of Palestinian factions, but they could not reach consensus. They have been brutalized and divided by design for so long that they will need hand holding, which can be provided by R4 -- Saudi Arabia, Egypt, Turkey and Pakistan.

@yhuss2000 @mitchellvii You are right that the PLO offered settlement, but without all of the armed Palestinian groups held to a settlement agreement, what good does one faction’s proposal do?

@ToddCWatsonLaw @mitchellvii There are a lot of what ifs. It all starts with an earnest effort on both sides to end war and terrorism.

@yhuss2000 @mitchellvii Has Hamas agreed to this proposal? If Hamas remains a powerful armed Palestinian faction that rejects this settlement and continues fighting Israel, what would be the point of Israel agreeing to this settlement?

No Muslim celebrates death, let alone that of non-combatants. My question is why did the vaunted IDF take six hours to respond, when they had real time status updates since the Inception of the Hammas attack? Why did IDF kill its own Israeli hostages under the Hannibal Directive? All wanton attacks on non-combatant civilians are unequivocally unIslamic and constitute terrorism. Of that crime, Israel is x1000 more culpable than Hamas, Houthis, and Hizbollah combined. The UN has not declared these organizations terrorist, but it has declared Netanyahu a war criminal.

@yhuss2000 @mitchellvii When Muslims massacred innocent Israelis on October 7th, and when Palestinians celebrated this, what was the immediate Israeli atrocity they were responding to?

Muslim Spain - the most amazingly tolerant, just and creative of regions, which directly fueled the European Renaissance. Schools of Averroes, the Muslim Philosopher Ibne Rush, opened across European universities, which was akin to establishlising foreign campuses of Harvard or Cambridge. Centuries earlier the very first University in the world was established by a Muslim Lady in Muslim Morocco in the Ninth Century. The Quran values reason, observation, analysis repeatedly. Maimonides, the formost Jewish Philosopher, thrived in Andulasia. After the Spanish Inquisition, when the Ottoman Empire sent ships to rescue fleeing Muslims and Jews, Maimonides took refuge in Muslim Egypt.

@yhuss2000 @mitchellvii Great, now do the record of atrocities committed by Muslims in their centuries long invasion and expansion across Christian lands and in the Ottoman wars against neighboring and near states. Or was all of that too righteous to cast a critical eye upon?

Are you suggesting that Muslim countries become complicit in the War Crimes of ethnically cleansing Palestinans from Gaza and the West Bank? Is genocide or distant refugee camps the only options available to people who have lived on this land millennia before Hazrat Abraham, AS, arrived about 3000 years ago? That's not going to happen.

@yhuss2000 @mitchellvii I’ve got one for you. Why do Muslim countries refuse to take Palestinian refugees, if they are so concerned about Palestinians. Ever see the big border wall in Egypt? Is there not room in Pakistan, Saudi, Iran, Egypt?

War is brutal and not justified unless it is defensive or a stand against cruelty. Having said that, yes the Ottomon rule over Eastern Europe was a walk in the park compared to what happened later with Communism and Balkanization. The only countries in Europe which were safe havens for fleeing Jews in WW2: Muslim Albania and Muslim Turkey. Muslims consider Jews and Christians to be People of the Book, whose customs and lives have to be protected. Abraham, Moses, David, Solomon, Issac, the Virgin Mary, Jesus, John the Baptist are all revered in Islam. Else, 70,000 Jews would not be living peacefully and prospering in Iran since antiquity. The main train station in Tehran would not be dedicated to Maryam, the Holy Mother, who is the only women mentioned in the Quran by name and has a whole chapter devoted to her.

@yhuss2000 @mitchellvii So you believe that the Muslims conquests of Christian lands, and the ottoman treatment of Christian countries, was all peaceful and a walk in the park?

@ToddCWatsonLaw @mitchellvii Ok. Point taken.

@yhuss2000 @mitchellvii That doesn’t mean two thirds of the country thinks America serves Israel

You can compare wounds or you address the root cause i.e. cure the cancer. If you do not accept the premise that there are sane minds on both sides seeking peace, then welcome to war. Addressing your specific point above: The Israeli withdrawal did not grant sovereignty. In 2007, following Hamas's victory in the 2006 legislative elections and a brief civil conflict with Fatah, Israel and Egypt imposed a land, sea, and air blockade on Gaza. The United Nations and international human rights organizations have stated that the blockade constitutes Occupation Israel tightly controls the movement of goods, people, and basic resources. It was much worse than Jewish experiences in Russia and Poland. Their electricity and water were used as a weapon. And now of course Palantir and Anthropic track all in Gaza. That is where their LLM were trained. I find it inexplicable that this vaunted military, IDF, responsible to protect such a miniscule territory, arrived six hours late, and killed its own Israeli hostages as per the Hannibal Option. An occupied people reserve the right to resist and the occupying force is bound to ensure their protection. Wanton killing of civilians is unequivocally unIslamic and constitutes terrorism. On that account Israel is a x1000 times more culpable than Hamas, Hezbollah, and Houthis combined.

@yhuss2000 @mitchellvii Israel withdrew from Gaza in 2005, and all the Palestinians did was continue sending rockets into Israel. Palestinians have accepted no peace deal, because the only thing they will accept is the total destruction of Israel, which is a nonstarter

@ToddCWatsonLaw @mitchellvii Israel returns to pre 1967 borders, and proscribes Apartheid. Palestine State with its capital in Jerusalem.

@yhuss2000 @mitchellvii Not immediate ceasefire deals. Total settlement of the dispute between parties. Which total peace deal will Palestinians accept?

Historic accounts widely document that the Crusades were marked by extreme violence, atrocities, and massacres against Muslims, Jews, and even other Christians. Before ever reaching the Holy Land, crusading armies initiated violent pogroms against Jewish communities across Europe. Entire communities in the Rhineland -- Speyer, Worms, and Mainz -- were decimated, with thousands of Jews killed or forced to convert. In Jerusalem, contemporary accounts from both Christian and Muslim chroniclers document that tens of thousands of Muslim and Jewish residents—including men, women, and children—were indiscriminately killed. Hundreds of Muslims who took refuge in the Al-Aqsa Mosque were killed, and the Jewish population was burned alive after their main synagogue was set on fire. During the First Crusade, following the siege of Ma'arrat al-Nu'man, Christian forces suffered from severe famine. Incidents of cannibalism are not just unconfirmed rumors; they were openly recorded in contemporary Latin Christian chronicles (such as those by Albert of Aix and Radulph of Caen), which document desperate and abhorrent acts of cannibalism against local Muslim populations. When Saladin and Baibars fought to reclaim territories violence happened on both sides and against shrines, but the Muslims did not commit violence against non-combatants -- Jewish or Christian. Islam strictly and unequivocally forbids this: Do not trangress in war." If some Muslims perpetrated any wanton atrocities, then that is outside the pale of Islam. Hazrat Umer Farooq, RA, on his first visit to Jerusalem noted there were no Jews there and directed that fifty Jewish families he settled there so Jewish religion and culture should take root in the Holy Land again. This was the mid seventh century CE, centuries before the crusades. Saladin’s reputation for chivalry, mercy, and honor is widely recognized by both medieval chroniclers and modern historians. His conduct during the recapturing of Jerusalem in 1187 stands as a famous historical contrast to the brutal crusader massacre of 1099.

@yhuss2000 @mitchellvii Barring the Crusades? Muslims swept through Christian lands raping and pillaging, enslaving and massacring, for hundreds of years, and finally the Christian west fought back, and it is their response that you think was the crime?

@ToddCWatsonLaw @mitchellvii Neyanya turned down several peace offers and deals with scant concern for hostages or peace. When released, hostages thanked Trump and America and shunned Bibi. theguardian.com/world/2023/nov…

@yhuss2000 @mitchellvii Also, what peace deal would the Palestinians accept? Israel has put forward numerous peace proposals. What do the Palestinians want? The total annihilation of Israel? Is that the reasonable position in this dispute?
