In The Name of Allah, The Most Merciful, The Bestower of Mercy.

Where did he learn thievery in the name of religion?

Allah [The Exalted] says:

وَمِنۡ أَهۡلِ ٱلۡكِتَـٰبِ مَنۡ إِن تَأۡمَنۡهُ بِقِنطَارٍ۬ يُؤَدِّهِۦۤ إِلَيۡكَ وَمِنۡهُم مَّنۡ إِن تَأۡمَنۡهُ بِدِينَارٍ۬ لَّا يُؤَدِّهِۦۤ إِلَيۡكَ إِلَّا مَا دُمۡتَ عَلَيۡهِ قَآٮِٕمً۬ا‌ۗ ذَٲلِكَ بِأَنَّهُمۡ قَالُواْ لَيۡسَ عَلَيۡنَا فِى ٱلۡأُمِّيِّـۧنَ سَبِيلٌ۬ وَيَقُولُونَ عَلَى ٱللَّهِ ٱلۡكَذِبَ وَهُمۡ يَعۡلَمُونَ

Among the people of the Scripture is he who, if entrusted with a Cantar [a great amount of wealth, etc.], will readily pay it back; and among them there is he who, if entrusted with a single silver coin, will not repay it unless you constantly stand demanding, because they say: ‘’There is no blame on us to betray and take the properties of the illiterates (Arabs).” But they tell a lie against Allah while they know it. [Surah Aal Imraan. Ayah 75]

Imam As-Sadi [may Allah have mercy upon him] said: They (i.e. the unjust ones amongst them) made corrupt claims and held repulsive views, and thus considered themselves to be possessors of great status and that the illiterate Arabs were extremely degraded; therefore, the rights of the illiterate Arabs could be violated. So, through these corrupt claims and repulsive views, they ate Haraam and considered it lawful by way of creed. Also, they lied against Allah because the scholar who declares things lawful or unlawful is considered- by the people- as one transmitting Allah’s Judgement and not from himself; and that (ruling of theirs about the wealth of the illiterate Arabs) is a lie. Allah said: [وَيَقُولُونَ عَلَى ٱللَّهِ ٱلۡكَذِبَ وَهُمۡ يَعۡلَمُون – But they tell a lie against Allah while they know it]. This is one of the greatest sins, and that is to speak about Allah without knowledge. [1]

A conversation between (Simcha Rothman) – a member of the religious Zionist party-  and a BBC Reporter

Simcha: I think when we talk about two-state solutions, we are using three words and three lies. It’s definitely not a solution.

Reporter: So, what’s the answer, an everlasting occupation?

Simcha: First, occupation is not the word; one cannot occupy his own land. Israel is not an occupied Israel, but that is the land of Israel.

Reporter: So, what about Gaza, the land of Israel?

Simcha: Again, land of Israel. You cannot be occupying it, we are not occupying it from anyone.

Identify which of the four types of thieves Mr Sincha resembles or whether he combines the characteristics of more than one of them or all of them

Imaam Muhammad Ibn Saalih Al-Uthaymeen [may Allah have mercy upon him] said: Thieves are four types: [السارق المنتهب المختلس الغاصب]

As-Saariq does not make himself apparent–neither in the beginning of the affair [i.e. the theft] nor in the end. Al-Muntahib makes himself apparent in the beginning and at the end (of the theft) but he does not take anything by overpowering (the victim); rather he snatches. Al-Mukhtalis is like the Al-Muntahib, except that he hides himself at the beginning of the (theft). Al-Ghaasib is like the Al-Muntahib, except that he takes away something by overpowering (the victim). [2]
