PA school principal praises Oct. 7, teaches children to hope for Martyrdom: “Allah, let us all die as Martyrs”
A PA school principal praised Hamas' Oct. 7 attack as "justice" and prayed for his students to die as Martyrs, while a teacher invoked Jews conspiring against Islam and told students Israelis killed would go to Hell.
PA school principalLuay Zabadi: "Indeed, this (i.e., Hamas' Oct. 7 attack on Israel) is a raid. This is the voice of justice at a time when justice has distanced itself. This is a time of courage and victory during a time of fracture and humiliation… Here they are (i.e., Israelis) day and night, in secret and openly, announcing their vile intentions – with international and regional support – just as happened during the time of the Prophet in the Battle of the Trench – when the Jews conspired with the people of ignorance to eliminate Islam… Soon salvation came from Allah. This requires us to rely on Allah and increase our trust in Him...
I do not know whom He will choose from our sons to be Martyrs, and I do not know whom among them He will turn into Murabitun (i.e., fighters defending Islamic land). Oh Allah, do not let us live except with honor – and if not, then Martyrdom is preferable for us. Allah, let us all die as Martyrs."
Students: "Amen!" …
Ahmad, teacher: " If you are in pain and suffering – they (i.e., Israelis) are also in pain like you, and you hope from Allah what they do not hope for (i.e., Martyrdom). Indeed, we have Martyrs, and we have wounded. But they (i.e., Israelis) also are in pain and suffering. And by Allah, their dead are in Hell, and our dead are in Paradise."
