Chaplain Abdelaal recently clarified the hatred of the directors of Hampshire Mosque against not only Shi’ites, which they view as a nefarious Jewish apostasy, but also against the Ottoman Turks, who ruled Egypt and Arabia for hundreds of years with the same “proper Islamic etiquette” still practiced in every Islamic country.
“It [Egypt] used to be influential in the Arab world, but recently Turkey and Iran have assumed a greater role, he said.” – Chaplain Abdelaal
The British used the term ‘Ottoman’ to refer to a small stool on which one can rest his feet or his buttocks.
The Turks are not, nor were they ever, a part of the “Arab” world, although the relentless Arab jihad against their territory, from Mohammad’s time until 1453, did eventually force them all to become Muslims. The Arabs and Egyptians hated their overlords so much they joined forces with the infidel British to finally repel the Turks from Egypt and the entire Middle East in 1917.
The Shi’ite Iranians are the remnants of the Persian Empire that also fell victim to the Arab Muslim jihad. Hampshire Mosque’s president has already confirmed that Shi’ites are apostates, and now Chaplain Abdelaal adds insult to injury by claiming that they are part of the “Arab” world.
A Persian slave was also referred to as a ‘Rumi’, a derogatory term that referred to the Eastern ‘Roman’ Christians.
Both Turks and Iranian Shi’ites would be greatly fired up by being referred to as part of the Arab world, but fortunately for Western Massachusetts residents there are not enough of them in the area to defend their honor with an appropriate response.
It may be that Mohammed’s English in not as advanced as his CAD skills or his devotion to Allah. Only one-fifth of the Ummah, or Muslim World, is ‘Arab’ – and what Mohammed perhaps meant to say was that both Iran and Turkey are more important and respected today in the “Muslim” world, because of their dedication to eliminating the prime cause of all the troubles of the world, the nefarious Jew.
