Egypt’s “moderate” mufti says Swiss minaret ban insults Muslims
Ali Gomaa is the statue-hatin’, wife-beatin’, Hizballah-supportin’, Muhammad’s-urine-drinkin’ Mufti of Egypt, who some time ago denied reports that he had rejected the traditional Islamic death sentence for apostates. The delirious Dinesh D’Souza has praised him as a “traditional Muslim” with whom American conservatives should cultivate an alliance.
And now Ali Gomaa’s poor little feelings are hurt. “This proposal…is not considered just an attack on freedom of beliefs, but also an attempt to insult the feelings of the Muslim community in and outside Switzerland.”
“Egypt mufti says Swiss minaret ban insults Muslims,” from AFP, November 29 (thanks to Maxwell):
CAIRO — Egypt’s Mufti Ali Gomaa denounced a vote to ban new minarets in Switzerland on Sunday as an “insult” to Muslims across the world, while calling on Muslims not to be provoked by the move.
A solid majority of Swiss voters chose in a referendum to ban the construction of new minarets, the towers attached to mosques from which the call to prayers is announced.
“This proposal…is not considered just an attack on freedom of beliefs, but also an attempt to insult the feelings of the Muslim community in and outside Switzerland,” Gomaa, the Egyptian government’s official interpreter of Islamic law, told the state-run news agency MENA.
He encouraged Switzerland’s 400,000-strong Muslim community to use “dialogue” and legal means to contest the ban, which he described as “provocative behaviour.”
The rightist Swiss People’s Party (SVP) — Switzerland’s biggest party — had forced the referendum after collecting a mandatory 100,000 signatures from eligible voters within 18 months.
Gomaa also called on Muslims not to be affected “by this provocation,” adding that Islam “considers humanity a single family.”
Provocation.
Abul Kasem explains:
“The infidels do not submit to Allah despite repeated warnings to them. This is the highest form [of] rebellion by the Kafirs and an extreme type of oppression to Islam.”
Three things to add to fully explicate what is being said there:
1) This refusal by Infidels to submit to Allah subsists for the majority by simply choosing to continue to live as non-Muslims, not as a demonstration of outright rejection of, much less disdain or contempt for, Islam (since PC MC, I contend, remains the norm among the majority of ordinary people throughout the West)
2) This non-compliance, among Infidels, with the demands of submission to Allah has become that much more egregious, insulting and offensive to Muslims in the last 200 years with the stupendously spectacular rise to global ascendancy and influence of the West, with America at the vanguard, on all levels — economic, geopolitical, and pop cultural
3) And finally, this non-compliance, among Infidels, with the demands of submission to Allah constitutes not only oppression, in the minds of Muslims, but also a capital offense — a casus belli against which Muslims are obliged to “defend” Islam, with thebellum, particularly as Muslims have at least enough intelligence to perceive themselves as insufficiently strong to wage frontal military assault on us, being pursued in a wonderfully diverse way short of frontal military assault.

I always wore Japanese watches but now after the brave performance by Swiss voters I am going to buy a Swiss watch and proudly wear it. Will there other dhimmi Western countries following in Switzerland’s footstep?
Playing the ‘VICTIM’ is the natural state for a Mohammedan that way the pressure is always on YOU and the PC MC Islamophile ‘white culture’ hating moonbats in the West are suckers for this Jihad Taqiyya ploy.
“Islam considers humanity a single family”. The view of an outsider!
Check our Islamic dictionary.
Infidels are not humans, not part of humanity. Only Muslims belong to this exclusive club. We kuffars are the vilest of creatures, sons of apes and swine, no better than vermin and must be killed, eventually, if we refuse to convert.
Paying the jiziya with willing submission is just a rite of passage, a temporary condition, until total impoverishment leaves us kafirs with nothing.
In the end, there is only conversion to Islam or death.
