The fast day of תענית אסתר* on the 13th of Adar
is not mentioned in בבלי or ירושלמי. It was
instituted by the Gaonim. (The first mention
of תענית אסתר is in the שאילתות דרב אחאי גאון)
Before they abolished the מגילת תענית
it was forbidden to fast on the 13th of Adar
because the day before or after the
Yomim Tovim mentioned in מגילת תענית
(Purim Chanuka etc,) were also included
as the days forbidden to fast.
The רא"ש quotes the ר' תם "The only סמך
(minor
source) for fasting is from the Gemoro Megilah 2a
that says י"ג זמן קהלה לכל היא The ר' תם explains
they gather to say Selichos because of the fast day".
*not to be confused with the three days fast in Nissan mentioned in the
Megillah.

“Al Qaeda seeks to destroy the Jewish state completely.
Much of its rhetoric and some of its attacks suggest that
it sees international Jewry and Israel as interchangeable.
The group’s rhetoric is also viciously anti-Semitic
in addition to being anti-Israel.”

QUESTION:
This quote is only about Al Qaeda, but should we
believe that other radical Islamic terrorist organizations,
with almost-identical beliefs, would behave differently?

“Killing civilians, particularly Jews and Americans,
is deemed acceptable [by Al Qaeda] when
other targets are too difficult to attack.”

Harvard Law Professor Alan M. Dershowitz said:
The Grand Mufti [Islamic leader] of Jerusalem,
in addition to becoming Hitler’s ally during World War II,
adapted Nazi genocidal theory to Islamic theology.
He called on his Muslim brothers to:
“Murder the Jews! Murder them all.”
Other Islamic leaders used Nazi words like
“extermination” in referring to the goals
of Arab victory [against Israel].

Harvard Law Professor Alan M. Dershowitz said:
“…if Israel’s military power were ever to be diminished
to the point that the combined armies of the Arab world
could defeat it, I believe there would be another Holocaust.
No Arab dictator who could defeat Israel and forebore
from doing so would survive the continuing frenzy
for jihad [Islamic holy war against non-Muslims].
And an Arab military victory over Israel –
unlike the Israeli victories over the Arabs –
would not result in a mere occupation or
even detention of Israeli Jews.
It would result in a mass slaughter,
designed to rid Arab holy land of Jewish intruders.
Most Jews know this, though they rarely speak of it openly.”
