Jihad against India

Muslim groups mum on Hindu request that they declare India off-limits for jihad

Well, Pakistan’s headbanger in chief also scoffed at a request to renounce jihad against India: Paki PM Zardari: “You Can’t Tell Us to Give Up Jihad Terrorism, That’s Our Religion..”

This should have been easy: a Hindu group asked 13 Muslim organizations to declare India a “friend” of Islam and thus off-limits for jihad. One would think that these official representatives of the vaunted Religion of Peace would have welcomed this opportunity to repudiate the jihadists who are supposedly twisting the peaceful teachings of Islam and hijacking the faith, and to affirm their acceptance of the proposition that Muslims and non-Muslims must live together as equals in a society that does not establish either religion.

But that was five months ago, and so far, according to Jihad Watch reader Varunappa, the Muslim groups have said…nothing at all.

Now, why is that?

Here is a story about the initial request, “Issue fatwa declaring India friend of Islam: VHP,” from the Times of India, February 23, 2009: JW

NEW DELHI: It may be a poll-related gimmick but it’s a clever one. The Vishwa Hindu Parishad has sent a letter to 13 prominent Muslim organisations in India with a curious request — that they declare, in a fatwa, India to be a “friend” of Islam, or a Dar-ul-Aman, therefore making jihad against India and Indians invalid.

Political Correctness Sux

Political Correctness, defined here:

“Political Correctness is a doctrine fostered by a delusional, 
illogical, liberal minority, and rabidly promoted by an unscrupulous 
mainstream media, which holds forth the proposition that it is entirely 
possible to pick up a turd by the clean end.” 

Judge Ian Trigger is PC resistant:

Hundreds of thousands of migrants here for handouts, says senior judge

Daily Mail

article-0-05dff5ab000005dc-757_233x423

Hundreds of thousands of immigrants come to Britain just to get welfare benefits, a senior judge declared yesterday.

Judge Ian Trigger said the cost of the handouts has helped to double the national debt.

He spoke out as he gave a two-year jail sentence to a Jamaican drug minder who disappeared from the notice of immigration authorities after claiming asylum.

He told Lucien McClearley, 31, at Liverpool Crown Court: ‘Your case illustrates all too clearly the completely lax immigration policy that exists and has existed over recent years.’

Sentencing McClearley, he added: ‘People like you, and there are literally hundreds and hundreds of thousands of people like you, come to these shores to avail themselves of the generous welfare benefits that exist here.

‘In the past ten years the national debt of this country has risen to extraordinary heights, largely because central Government has wasted billions of pounds. Much of that has been wasted on welfare payments.

‘For every £1 that the decent citizen, who is hard-working, pays in taxes, nearly 10 per cent goes on servicing that national debt. That is twice the amount it was in 1997 when this Government came to power.’ 

McClearley arrived legally in Britain in November 2001 on a visitor’s visa.

He was arrested in October 2002 after it ran out but claimed asylum and was released while this was being processed.

He then ‘disappeared from the radar of the authorities’, the court heard. His application was rejected in 2004 but he was only arrested this February after police stopped a car he was driving and noticed it smelled of cannabis.

A search of the house where McClearley was staying in Everton uncovered cannabis worth £7,200, a gram of cocaine and a fake passport.

Mr Trigger also said hundreds of thousands of immigrants came to this country to ‘avail themselves of the generous welfare benefits that exist here’

He admitted taking a vehicle without consent, possessing cannabis and cocaine, possessing a class-B drug with intent and two counts of possessing false identity documents.

Judge Trigger, who is also a part-time immigration judge, told McClearley: ‘The fact that it took nearly two years to process your claim shows how desperate the situation in this country has become.’

The 65-year-old judge said he ‘hoped and trusted’ McClearley would be deported immediately on release.

Britain’s collapse continues: 

Women police officers are being issued with headscarves to wear when they visit a mosque.

They are expected to put the scarfs on shortly before they enter the mosque, in keeping with Islamic custom.

Denmark’s Defence Minister Søren Gade has told Parliament that Muslim women in the armed forces are not to be allowed to wear headscarves as part of their uniform. 

Question remains: why would any Western nation have Muslim women in the armed forces?

TURKEY: CHRISTIAN MURDERED ON BUSY STREET IN ISTANBUL Update

“Mentally disturbed Muslim” stabs German businessman as he leaves church.

Predictable. “Nothing to do with Islam”… check out the comments from the Muslim detractors here: one even tries to smear the victim  as an “escaped prisoner who escaped from a German prison… a possible hit-man…” (sic)

ISTANBUL, July 28 (Compass Direct News) – On a crowded street here last week a German businessman died after a Turk with a history of mental problems stabbed him for being a Christian. Witnesses saw Ibrahim Akyol, 26, stab Gregor Kerkeling in the chest on July 20 at 10:50 a.m. after following him out of St. Anthony Catholic Church in Istanbul’s central district of Beyoglu. Church security cameras captured the attack on Kerkeling, who regularly visited the church when he was in town for business. Akyol, a Muslim who reportedly had been visiting area churches scouting around for a Christian victim, followed Kerkeling out of the church building and asked him for a Turkish lira. When Kerkeling refused and gestured him away, Akyol repeatedly stabbed him in the heart and chest area before passersby intervened. In a statement to the prosecutor, Akyol reportedly confessed that in the morning he woke up and decided that on that day he would kill a Christian. “I wanted to kill a Christian that day and was visiting churches for this reason,” he told prosecutors, according to the Hurriet Daily News. “I saw the person and killed him.”

A Jewish and Non-Legitimate State

by Mordechai Kedar/Begin Sadat Centre

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY: Palestinian recognition of Israel as a Jewish nation-state, or as the rightful homeland of the Jewish People, is a necessary condition of any future Israeli-Palestinian peace treaty – according to Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. Arab and Islamic leaders have rejected this demand. The reason for Arab inability and unwillingness to consider Netanyahu’s demand is the fact that the Islamic world is ideologically incapable of according legitimacy to the State of Israel, for deep-seated religious, nationalistic and historical reasons.

Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu has set out five conditions for the conclusion of an Israeli-Palestinian peace deal involving establishment of a Palestinian state alongside Israel. The first, and the hardest for the Arab world to accept, is Palestinian recognition of Israel as a Jewish nation-state, or as the rightful homeland of the Jewish People. In fact, it is close to impossible, because Islam is intrinsically incapable of according legitimacy to the State of Israel for the embedded ideological reasons detailed below.

Honor Killing News

We all know that honor killings are common in all cultures and have nothing to do with Islam… right?

Not. Honor Killings are not simply “Domestic Violence” either, but indeed very Islamic. Tarek Fatah, a distinguished scholar of Islam and religious hypocrisy’s scourge, categorically stated that “man-made shariah law, which has been falsely imputed divine status, does allow for the killing of women if they indulge in pre-marital or extramarital consensual sex.”  Read more: Honour killing is not ‘domestic’ violence

Gaza Muslim bludgeons his daughter to death with an iron chain because she owned a cell phone

Yet another honor killing — the 9th in Gaza since the beginning of 2009. “Rights groups: Gaza man suspected of killing daughter for owning cellphone,” from the Jerusalem Post, July 29 (thanks to JW):

A Gaza man is being held on suspicion he bludgeoned his daughter to death with an iron chain because he discovered she owned a cell phone, human rights groups said Wednesday.The groups added that the victim’s three brother’s were also detained.

The woman, a 27-year-old divorced mother of five, was the 10th victim of a so-called “honor killing” in the Palestinian territories and among Arabs in Israel this year.

Pamela has a great deal more information on this case here.

Spain: Muslim stabs his daughter 20 times in attempted honor killing

A manual of Islamic law certified by Al-Azhar as a reliable guide to Sunni orthodoxy says that “retaliation is obligatory against anyone who kills a human being purely intentionally and without right.” However, “not subject to retaliation” is “a father or mother (or their fathers or mothers) for killing their offspring, or offspring’s offspring.” (‘Umdat al-Salik o1.1-2).

In other words, someone who kills his child incurs no legal penalty under Islamic law. In accord with this, in 2003 the Jordanian Parliament voted down on Islamic grounds a provision designed to stiffen penalties for honor killings. Al-Jazeera reported that “Islamists and conservatives said the laws violated religious traditions and would destroy families and values.”

Why does it matter that the practice of honor killing has Islamic sanction? Because if the roots of honor killing are never discussed and always ignored, the practice will never stop. Until the Islamic roots of the practice are discussed openly and human rights groups begin calling for reform, honor killings will continue in the Islamic world — and in Muslim communities in the West.

Palma di Mallorca: Police arrest 3 in mosque, 150 Muslims go apeshit…

Police followed a North African suspect into the building. He was arrested together with the president of the Moslem Defence League and the mosque caretaker. WTF? The Moslem Defence League? Why in the f*%#g hell do they need a “Defence League?”

Spain: Police arrest three in mosque, angry Muslims protest outside police station

I was just there a month ago. The mosque, believe it or not, is located underneath the cathedral. Heaven knows how that came about. Is the Catholic church aiding and abetting the spread of Islam?

palma_de_mallorca-cathedral

They say that “the sanctuary of a mosque should be respected in the same way as that of Christian churches and Jewish synagogues.” But would police really not enter a church or synagogue in order to make an arrest? I doubt that.

“Police enter Palma mosque,” from EuroWeekly, July 24 (thanks to Tea and Politics) from JW:

PALMA – THREE arrests were made at Palma’s main mosque in Calle Joan Mestre after police followed a North African suspect into the building. He was arrested together with the president of the Moslem Defence League and the mosque caretaker, both of whom had reportedly tried to prevent the police from entering the premises, saying that the sanctuary of a mosque should be respected in the same way as that of Christian churches and Jewish synagogues.The Moslems claimed that the police had become violent and had used force in making the arrests. However, the police have a very different story to relate. They state they were following a man who had failed to stop when being flagged down on his motorcycle for a roadside check, and that he had taken refuge in the mosque.

On hearing of the incident, some 150 angry local Moslems protested outside the police station, saying that relations between the Islamic community and the security forces were now at an all-time low due to their holy site not being respected.
An internal enquiry is to be launched to establish exactly what happened during the incident.

Here’s a bit of recent history:

The West Cannot Forge an Alliance With Islam

Appeasement Sux

  • Attorney-General McClelland may believe a softly-softly politically correct approach will soften the jihadists, but nowhere is there any evidence for this.

Fatwa still means murder

jihad

It would seem that much of what passes for diplomatic discourse in Australia is based on second-rate academic thinking that owes more to 19th century gentleman-adventurers than to the realities of the 21st century.

The handbook on China talks about “losing face”, when it is obvious from the case involving Rio executive Hu Stern that the mandarins of today are more concerned with losing money, and the handbook on Indonesia might have been written in Bung Sukarno’s era.

Attorney-General McClelland may believe a softly-softly politically correct approach will soften hard-liners or prevent more young men and women from becoming radicalised, but nowhere is there any evidence for this.

Soothing words and another bureaucracy chasing those who call Islamic terrorists for what they are and what they do will not halt the flow of suicidal graduates from the schools in Solo and other parts of Indonesia, let along those waiting for places in the madrassahs of Pakistan.

As for following the UK Home Office guidelines, forget it. If anyone is any doubt they should ask Salman Rushdie. Read the whole thing

Why Can’t We Recognize Islam As Our Enemy?

muslim_parade6

by Vincent Gioi The Post Chronicle

There was a dialogue between the imam and a member of the audience over whether Shariah or the Constitution should be the supreme law of the land in the United States

Audience member: “Would you get rid of the Constitution for Shariah, yes or no?”

Imam: “Over the Muslim world? Yes, it would be gone.”

Audience Member: And so if the United States was in a Muslim world, the Constitution would be gone?”

Imam: “If the United States was in the Muslim world, the Muslims who are here would be calling and happy to see the Shariah applied, yes we would.”

Audience Member: “And the Constitution gone. That’s all.”

Imam: “Yes, as Muslims they would be long gone.”

Clearly Hizb ut-Tahrir’s is not only is determined to destroy capitalism — it would shred the United States Constitution as well in favor of Shariah law.

Could domestic Communists in the 1950’s have done worse? What has happened to America when we once recognized the threat of Communism but fail to recognize the far worse threat – Islam?

In Praise of Prejudice: Theodore Dalrymple on where a society without prejudice will get us

July 29, 2009

The Social Afairs Unit:

Theodore Dalrymple argues that the police should use their instincts – in other words their prejudices – more, not less, if they are to be more effective in fighting crime.

…The other day I happened to see a fellow-passenger reading an article in a newspaper that I had missed, about the way in which police in Britain have now started searching white people against whom they have no suspicions whatever, simply to balance the racial proportions of people searched in their efforts to prevent terrorism.

I do not know whether the story is true, but as the Americans say, “it listens”: it is perfectly plausible or even likely, because of our obsession with targets and quotas. I admit that I am highly sceptical about how much of the activity carried out in the name of anti-terrorism is genuinely and necessarily connected with that end, but racial quotas can only weaken that connection further…

The pretence that one can approach the world without prejudice is dishonest and absurd. The sleep of prejudice brings forth bureaucratic monsters. It is to go into the world without the faintest idea about where one might find the things one is looking for…

The failure to make the most obvious judgments leads to vicious absurdity. I recall the case of one young man of Indian extraction who was set upon by three young louts with a long history of violence. The young man was thoroughly respectable, as well as being self-evidently mild-mannered; but the three louts accused him of having attacked them first, an accusation so prima facie absurd that one would have thought no one could entertain it for a moment. But, in the name of equity, the police treated it as seriously as the young man’s accusation against them, which was far from absurd. They charged him as well as the three louts; and offered to drop the charges only if he dropped the charges against the three louts.

That is justice in a society that claims to be without prejudice.

Read it all.

Yusuf fears couscous and torture

Sikhs, Hindus Flee Taliban Jizya in Pakistan…

Yusuf reports: VIDEO: A Sikh aid organisation assists internally displaced Pakistanis of all faiths ...strange that we never hear about Muslims assisting other faiths, don’tcha think, Yusuf? Perhaps you can explain this: Swat, Christian refugees excluded from government reconstruction fund

Meet Yusuf the Pretend-Christian, pontificating:

Perhaps you could use the same resources and initiative that are being currently used to extend the Bagram Airbase torture chamber. I presume educating kids and healing the sick is more important than torturing people. (Don’t you think your message should be directed at your co-religionists who dabble as  head choppers, Yusuf…?)

irfan-sikh1

Yusuf, self appointed adviser to the government, likes Hope’n’Change:

Personally I have a problem with the “government-sponsored Sufism is the solution to all our security woes” analysis. I prefer the approach that Congressman Charlie Wilson called for in Afghanistan – spending money on schools and hospitals and development and creating jobs and hope. Poverty and hopelessness attract people to desperation which terrorists feed off. But I guess it isn’t in some people’s interest to do that.

Of course, we have yet to see the likes of Yusuf  “spending money (of their own) on schools and hospitals and development and creating  jobs and hope.” Btw: the “government sponsored Sufism” didn’t prevent the Turks from raping and murdering 1.5 million Armenian Christians. Why could that be, Yusuf? Pray-tell: could it be that they’re  all reading the same Koran?

You must be  the only small “c” conservative left on the planet who hasn’t got the message yet, Yusuf…

Another Example Of Really Stupid

moreactingstupidly

“Poverty and hopelessness attract people to desperation which terrorists feed off”- sez sharia advocate Yusuf Irfan, but he conveniently forgets to mention that the best of all the worst jihadist attacks have been carried out by well educated, wealthy Muselmaniacs.  Do I really need to mention Bin Laden and doctor Ayman al Zawahiri by name? The “magnificent 19” were well educated,  (Mohammedan Atta spoke 4 languages and had an engineering degree from Hamburg. The Glasgow doctors who tried to blow up the airport were certainly not driven by “poverty and hopelessness”- they were driven by the jihad ideology.

So “building schools and hospitals and development and creating jobs and hope” is all it takes to pacify the jihadists, Yusuf? Gee,  under the leadership of George W. Bush the ‘coalition of the willing’ build mosques and madrassas, housing and dams, the only problem with that was they couldn’t build them faster than the Taliban would blow them up. 

But anyhow, education is not something Yusuf’s co-religionists value, as we can see here:

Islamic group called “Education Is Sin” starts riot in Nigeria

They’re opposed to Western education as being against Sharia norms: the group wants to “clean the (Nigerian) system which is polluted by western education and uphold Sharia’h all over the country.” Imagine the quips, the digs, and the New York Times analyses if there were a Christian group calling itself “Education Is Sin.” This one, however, will pass unnoticed, or with “Boko Haram” left untranslated in reports — as in the Reuters story here.
