•Jordanian MP: Muhammad Said "Judgment Day Will Not Come until the Muslims Fight the Jews"
(MEMRI) During a Feb. 3, 2014, Jordanian parliamentary debate on U.S. Secretary of State Kerry's peace efforts, MP Zakaria al-Sheikh said: "In a hadith narrated by Abu Hurairah, the Prophet Muhammad said: 'Judgment Day will not come until the Muslims fight the Jews, and the Muslims will kill them.' In another version, it says: 'You will fight the Jews - you to the east of the river and they to the west of it.' One of the Prophet's companions asked him: 'Which river?' He replied: 'The Jordan River.'" "Historical Palestine is the occupied Islamic, Arab, Palestinian land, from the Jordan River to the Mediterranean Sea....Nobody has the right to relinquish a single inch of it. The Palestinians are the original owners of Palestine, who lived on its land when they moved from the western Mediterranean Basin to its east in 7000 BCE. The Israelites have existed as a nation only since 1800 BCE, with the birth of Jacob, who is also called Israel. Moreover, Judaism as a religion emerged only in 1300 BCE. Any solution must include the return of every inch of historical Palestine, from the Jordan River to the Mediterranean Sea, must guarantee unconditional 'Right of Return' for Palestinians worldwide, and must provide just financial and international compensation."
