Palestinian Professor: Moses Was a ‘Great Muslim’ Who ‘Liberated Palestine’ From Egypt

A Palestinian professor made an intriguing historical tweak when he appeared on television and proclaimed that Moses, the Biblical figure who led the Jews out of captivity in Egypt, was actually a Muslim. Even more surprising, Dr. Omar Ja’ara (of Al-Najah University in Nablus, West Bank) claims that the historical figure led Muslims out of captivity — not Jews.
Palestinian Media Watch explains the connotations and purported inaccuracies in Ja‘ara’s controversial claims that were made on Palestinian Authority Television:
A Palestinian university lecturer taught during a recent Palestinian Authority TV program on religion that Moses, a Muslim, brought “the Muslims of the Children of Israel out of Egypt.“ He refers to the subsequent Israeli conquest of the Land of Israel as the ”first Palestinian liberation… of Palestine.” This conquest, he taught, was led not by Joshua, as the Bible tells, but by Saul (Talut) who is also said to have slayed Goliath.
While some of this is retelling of Islamic tradition, some of it is a distortion of even the Quran for political purposes. The Quran refers to the “Children of Israel” in their land in many chapters (e.g., Sura 5), but it never refers to them or anyone else as “Palestinians.” Likewise the Quran never refers to Israel’s conquest as a “Palestinian” conquest. The lecturer on PA TV, however, deviates from Islamic tradition, and calls the nation of Israel’s conquest of the Land of Israel “the first Palestinian liberation through armed struggle to liberate Palestine.”
The comments, which took place earlier this year, are certainly intriguing.
“We must make clear to the world that David in the Hebrew Bible is not connected to David in the Quran, Solomon in the Hebrew Bible is not connected to Solomon in the Quran, and neither is Saul or Joshua son of Nun [of the Bible],” Ja’ara explained. “We have a great leader, Saul, [in the Quran] who defeated the nation of giants and killed Goliath. This is a great Muslim victory.”‘
Then, he launched into his theories about Moses’ purported Islamic inclinations.
“The Muslims of the Children of Israel went out of Egypt under the leadership of Moses, and unfortunately, many researchers deny the Exodus of those oppressed people who were liberated by a great leader, like Moses the Muslim, the believing leader, the great Muslim, who was succeeded by Saul, the leader of these Muslims in liberating Palestine,” he continued. “This was the first Palestinian liberation through armed struggle to liberate Palestine from the nation of giants led by Goliath. This is our logic and this is our culture.”

There were these two southern ladies sipping cocktails, & sitting on the veranda of a big mansion. When the lady who owned the place said: “You see this fine home?” Her friend replied “Yes I Do”. Well my husband gave me this house after the birth of our first child. Her friend replied “Ain’t that Nice”. Then the owner said: “You see this Big Diamond Ring?” Her friend replied “Yes I Do”. Well my husband gave me this ring after the birth of our second child. Her friend replied “Ain’t that Nice”. Then the owner said: “You see that Mercedes in the driveway?” Her friend replied “Yes I Do”. Well my husband gave me that car after the birth of our third child. Her friend replied “Ain’t that Nice”.
They sipped a little more, when the owner of the home said “What did your husband give you after the birth of your child?” Her friend replied, “My husband sent me to the finest Charm School in Atlanta”. “Charm School, Whatever did you learn?

But understand this, that is the last days there will come times of difficulty. For people will be lovers of self, lovers of money, proud, arrogant, abusive, disobedient to their parents, ungrateful, unholy, heartless, unappeasable, slanderous, without self-control, brutal, not loving god, treacherous, reckless, swollen with conceit, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God, having the appearance of godliness but denying its power.
Avoid such people. For among them are those who creep into households and capture weak women,
burdened with sins and led astray by various passions, always learning and never able to arrive at a
knowledge of the truth.
Just as Jannes and Jambres opposed Moses, so these men also oppose the truth, men corrupted
in mind and disqualified regarding the faith. But they will not get very far, for their folly with be plain to all, as was that of those two men.

And leading them into a land never equated with Muslum Palestian .Only Jerusalam,the capital of Israel and the promise to Abraham of the land fromthe Euphates region to the south in Saudi Ab’ the Med Sea.As far as he could see was promised by God to his children‘s children’s children.Anyone who falls for this kaka must never read much of the Bible and are easily lied to by false teachers.“My people perish for lack of wisdom” But they even have Jesus coming back as a prophet and will repent for what he taught and will kill christians who won’t bow to allah.And now ‘chrislam’!! Talk about oil and water.From the times of Abraham and Sara when God promised them a child.Sara was barren and because of the age Sara chuckled She was barren and said for Abram to sleep with Hagar,Sara’s maid.Abram and Hagar had a child Ishmael.Sara was mad and made Abram boot’em out.So Abram sent them out.Hagar knew they would die after the water ran out and she set Ishmael down and walked away so not to see him die.God had a reason for them and Ishmael’s linage would be a hairy and warring people,again’st everyone and most of all,the Jews.Today is the climax to the step-brothers,and one reading of the Hebrew Bible up again’st the Koran/hadefe and there’s no comparison.Iran,and allies’Muslum Brotherhood hamas,Leb, Syria PLOPLA.Only genecide of all of

Posted on April 4, 2012 at 9:15amThe article calls this an intriguing historical tweak. Has no one studied Islam? They believe that the Old Testament prophets were Muslims and that when Mohammed came the Jews and Christians altered their Scriptures to hide that Mohammed was the last and Great Prophet. Ever talk to a Muslim? They are trained tog o straight for the throat on Biblical Doctrines and turn people from the Bible to the Quran by their claims of being a continuation of the “original” Bible. They blasphemously claim that Jesus prophesied of the coming of Mohammed in this verse:
“Nevertheless I tell you the truth; It is expedient for you that I go away: for if I go not away, the Comforter will not come unto you; but if I depart, I will send him unto you.” John 16:7
Of course we know that this is the Truth:
“But the Comforter, which is the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in my name, he shall teach you all things, and bring all things to your remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto you.” John 14:26
No wonder the Bible says:
“Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day shall not come, except there come a falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition; Who opposeth and exalteth himself above all that is called God, or that is worshipped; so that he as God sitteth in the temple of God, shewing himself that he is God.” II Thess. 2:3-4

Posted on April 4, 2012 at 9:22amIf anyone wants to really understand Islam well from a Christian prospective I recommend the book:
Ishmael: A Natural History of Islamism and It’s Relation to Christianity by John M. Arnold.
It was originally published in 1859 as a call to seminaries to send missionaries to the Muslim world. Great and insightful book.
The Islamic Antichrist by Joel Richardson was good too. As well as The complete Infidels Guide to the Koran by Spencer.
