How to Systematically Eradicate Unbelievers: Salafi Leader Yassir Al-Burhami Explains

Vlad Tepes has a great video by an Egyptian cleric who explains how Christians and Jews should be treated when the Muslims are weak and when they have the upper hand:

More than 70 % of the Koran is not about allah, but about how to deal with Christians and Jews. The Islamic clerics know how to keep the mostly illiterate masses on a ‘need to know’ basis, regularly whip them into a fanatical frenzy and teach the Muslims how to hate, exploit, humiliate and to destroy the kafirs. This Egyptian headbanger, Salafi Leader Yassir Al-Burhami, describes how the profit of Islam did it:

Egypt’s Christians can be dealt with like the Jews of Medina

Clearly, Obama has one priority, and that is Islam before everything else:

Obama Administration holds talks with Muslim Brotherhood, speeds pace of ~~aid~~ jiziya to Egypt

The Brotherhood and the Salafis don’t even need to collect the jizya from the Copts, as long as they’ve got Barack Obama.

“Egyptian Salafi Leader Yassir Al-Burhami Compares the Christians of Egypt to the Jews of Al-Medina,”

Islamic spokesmen in the West routinely say that the Qur’an’s command to fight against Jews and Christians, impose the jizya (poll tax) upon them and make them submit as inferiors to Islamic rule (9:29) is a relic of history, never to be revived — and that only greasy Islamophobes say otherwise.

Yassir Al-Burhami didn’t get the memo.

“Egyptian Salafi Leader Yassir Al-Burhami Compares the Christians of Egypt to the Jews of Al-Medina,” from MEMRI, December 3, 2011 (air date; posted more recently), with thanks to JW:

Following are excerpts from a statement by Egyptian Salafi leader Yassir Al-Burhami, which was posted on the Internet, which aired on December 3, 2012 [sic]:Yassir Al-Burhami: Appointing infidels to positions of authority over Muslims is prohibited. Allah said: “Never will Allah grant the infidels a way [to triumph] over the Believers.”

We are not afraid of losing the elections or of not getting votes. We are not trying to ingratiate ourselves before the people.

Can the Christians of Egypt be compared to the Jews of Al-Medina? The case of the Jews of Al-Medina is one example of the relations between the Muslims and the infidels. The Muslims can implement any form of conduct used by the Prophet Muhammad. When the Prophet Muhammad was still in Mecca, he dealt with the infidels in a certain way, and when the Muslims are weak, they should deal with the infidels this way. “Refrain from action, pray, and pay the zakkat.”

In many infidel countries, such as occupied Palestine, we instruct Muslims to do just that. We are not telling the Muslims in Gaza to launch rockets every day, which would lead to the destruction of the entire country. We tell them to adhere to the truce.

When the Prophet Muhammad first arrived in Al-Medina, he signed a treaty with the Jews without forcing them to pay the jizya poll tax. This was necessary at the time, but when they breached the treaty, he fought them, and eventually, he imposed the jizya upon the People of the Book.

The Christians [of Egypt] can be dealt with like the Jews of Al-Medina. This is possible.
