Thanks to U.S. generosity, the Palestinian Authority will now have $50 million with which to ensure that terrorism against Israel continues. According to Palestinian Minister for Prisoner Affairs, Sufayan Abu Zayda, his office receives $4 million a month from the PA to support Palestinian terrorists held in Israeli prisons.

On September 3, Abu Zayda told the Palestinian newspaper Al-Hayat Al-Jadida that his office deposits salaries of $400 to $500 a month for each prisoner, in addition to a $50 monthly payment each for expenses in the prison canteen. The Palestinian Prison Affairs office also funds the prisoners–legal expenses, medical treatment, etc.

An additional $100,000 is dedicated to tuition for every terrorist prisoner who seeks higher education–without any consideration to his organizational affiliation or crimes. The prisoners include those who murdered Israelis, suicide bomber dispatchers, and suicide bombers caught en route.

According to Abu Zayda, once released from Israeli prisons, each Palestinian terrorist continues to receive a salary for six months, after which they receive an official position with the Palestinian Authority. Those who spend more than five years in prison continue to receive the salary as long as necessary–until they get a job. Continue reading “Tax Dollars for Terror” →

Review: The Legacy of Jihad: Islamic Holy War and the Fate of Non-Muslims, edited by Dr. Andrew G. Bostom, Prometheus, 759 pp.

It is only fitting that Andrew G. Bostom’s massive collection, The Legacy of Jihad: Islamic Holy War and the Fate of Non-Muslims, appears in time for the fourth anniversary September 11, 2001, for no other collection since then has so well explained the theology and philosophy behind those Islamic attacks on America.
The leaders of the free world have taken pains since late 2001 to explain that Islam is a religion of peace. But in this far-ranging, 759-page collection of Muslim and non-Muslim eyewitness accounts, scholarly Muslim theological treatises and superb historical surveys, it appears that Islam has actually practiced a grisly jihad campaign against non-Muslims from its earliest days, in the hope of satisfying the Prophet Mohammed’s end goal: forcing the “one true faith” upon the entire world.

The somber tone of this monumental work — graced in its midsection by a chronological summary of the first 500 years of Muslim conquests, including color-coded maps and Islamic art — is set by the cover, a 19^th century-Islamic painting entitled “The Prophet, Ali and the Companions at the massacre of the prisoners of the Jewish tribe of Beni Kuraizah.” As its name suggests, the art depicts the slaughter of 600 to 900 Jewish men, who were led on Mohammed’s orders to the market of Medina, where they were beheaded and their corpses buried in trenches dug for that purpose. Their wives and children were then enslaved. Continue reading “The Legacy of Jihad” →
