For instance, his stress on the Truce of Hudaybiyeh, first referred to at his Johannesburg mosque speech in 1994, one year after signing the Oslo Peace accords with Israel, when he called on Muslims the world over to join the Palestinian jihad and liberate “our capital”, Jerusalem.

That truce, signed by the Prophet Muhammed with the Jews of Quraish, whom he later exterminated, became the precedent for the injunction to Islams to violate accords they sign with infidels as soon as opportune.

According to this precept, Arabs view an enemy’s readiness for peace as a weakness to be exploited.
