India: Islamic Clerics Denounce "Terrorism in all its forms"

* Back in February, the fanatical Deobandi sect pulled the same stunt, widely celebrated by the inept Media, since the myth that Islam is somehow a ‘Religion of Peace’ must be kept alive at just about any cost.

* Deoband denounces terrorism in all its forms

* Now, if the wankers from the ‘free press’ had bothered reading the whole text of this statement, they might have realized that what these Islamofascist creeps are denouncing is the imaginary “terrorism” perpetrated against them.

“In All Its Forms”

via LGF

Hyderabad, April 6 (IANS) A massive public meeting organised by Islamic madrassas here has condemned terrorism in all its forms and urged Muslims to develop good relations with other communities.

Prominent religious scholars from Andhra Pradesh and other parts of the country addressed the meeting attended by thousands at the Nizam College Grounds Saturday night.

Organised by the coordination committee of madrassas of Andhra Pradesh, the meeting, which continued till late in the night, said Islam or Muslims had nothing to do with terrorism and blamed government policies for terrorism.

* But Islamic terror has its roots in the Koran. And the actions of the prophet of Islam is to be emulated by every believing Muslim. Terror in Muhammads own words

While pointing out that Islam unequivocally condemned terrorism by describing the murder of innocents as the killing of entire humanity, a resolution passed at the event said the ‘repression on innocent people and injustice’ promoted terror.

Leaders of Muslim groups including Tameer-e-Millat, Jamaat-e-Islami and Jamiatul Ulema addressed the meet, which was presided over by Moulana Abdul Azeez, president of the coordination committee of madrassas.

Eminent religious scholar Moulana Khaleel-ur-Rehman Sajjad Nadvi from Uttar Pradesh said anti-Islamic forces were trying to malign Islam and Muslims by linking them to terrorism.

He said that the West was targeting Islam by linking it with terrorism as Islam stands against all forms of exploitation. He advised Muslims to act with restraint and hold on to Islam firmly as the world is a testing place for them.

While praising Chief Minister Y.S. Rajasekhara Reddy, Moulana Hameeduddin Auqil Hussami, a popular religious leader in Andhra Pradesh, hit out at Home Minister K. Jana Reddy for backing police action against innocent Muslims and even women.

Dutch Mosque Leader: Muslims Are Responsible For Creating Enemies Of Islam

* What he is really saying is “don’t wake up any sleeping dogs. We are here and we are here to stay, in ten, twenty years we’ve achieved critical mass, then we control the judiciary and the institurions,  that’s the time to go on the attack, not now… 

The imam of Al-Sunnah mosque in The Hague Sheikh Fawwaz Junaid has said Muslims themselves are responsible for creating the enemies of Islam. The Urdu-language newspaper Roznama Jang quoted Sheikh Junaid as saying that the hatred and opposition faced by Muslims in today’s world are created by themselves.

According to the report, the imam said the Muslims’ conduct itself should be the standard to be judged by non-Muslims. However, he said Muslims themselves are involved in disgraceful behavior and activities which give non-Muslims an opportunity ‘‘to raise a finger on Islam.’’

“They call this freedom of expression, but it’s freedom of aggression,” keynote speaker Munawwar Hasan, a leader of the main Islamic party Jamat-e-Islami, told the crowd as it chanted “God is great.” […]

But police officer Syed Suleman estimated Sunday’s crowd at 25,000, while organizers claimed more than 100,000 people turned out.

Wearing head bands inscribed “We are ready to sacrifice our lives for the sanctity of the prophet,” they marched for two kilometers (more than a mile), then gathered on Karachi’s main street to listen to speeches.

They also burned an effigy of Wilders as speakers said their government should sever diplomatic ties with Western countries supporting the publishers of cartoons defaming the Prophet Muhammad.

Indonesia: Over 100 Churches Closed in 3 Years

Based on official numbers, a total of 1,025 churches have been closed or destroyed in Indonesia since the island nation claimed its independence in 1945.

“Moderate” Indonesia? Who feeds us this BS?

By Ethan Cole

Islamic extremism and local governments closed more than 100 churches in Indonesia within three years, according to a persecution watchdog agency.

From 2004 to 2007, 110 churches were closed in Indonesia as a result of attacks from radical Muslim groups or by local governments coerced by these groups, reported Compass Direct News. Based on official numbers, a total of 1,025 churches have been closed or destroyed in Indonesia since the island nation claimed its independence in 1945. Notably, however, only two cases of church destruction or closures are recorded in the era of Indonesia’s first president, Sukarno (1945-1967).

Provinces with the highest reported incidents of discrimination and violence against churches are West Java, Banten, Central Java, South Sulawesi and Bengkulu, according to the findings of the Communion of Churches of Indonesia, the Bishops’ Conference of Indonesia, the Indonesian Human Rights Commission, and the Wahid Institute – a moderate Muslim non-governmental organization.

In one recent incident, a church in Sepatan, Tangerang province, was attacked by extremists last December when it refused to adhere to government orders to shut down. Moreover, the home of the church’s pastor was attacked by extremists who kicked out the home’s windows and doors and threw out his possessions.

Indonesia is the world’s most populous Muslim country with about 85 percent of its 220 million people saying they are followers of Islam. Christians make up only about 8.7 percent of the population, according to the CIA World Factbook.

The country has experienced much sectarian violence over the years with at least 1,000 people dying due to Muslim-Christian violence from 1998 to 2001 in Central Sulawesi province where there is roughly equal numbers of both communities.

Banyuwangi 1999, headless corpse dragged through the streets under the shouts of ‘Allahu Akbar !’

High profile cases of Christian persecution in Indonesia include the 2005 arrests of three Christian Sunday school teachers who were accused of attempting to convert Muslim children. The Muslim parents had reportedly given full consent for their children to join Christian students in singing Christian songs, playing games and hearing Bible stories, but the court nevertheless sentenced the women to three years in prison. The women served two years and were released early for good behavior last June.

Also in 2005, Islamic militants on motorcycles beheaded three Christian schoolgirls who were on their way to school. The girls’ heads were dumped in villages nearby with and a handwritten note by the bodies warned of more killings in revenge for sectarian violence on Sulawesi Island.

* ‘Sectarian violence?’ Of course NOT! Jihad against the Christians. This insidious MSM distortion has been going on for years now…

“Wanted – 100 more heads,” read the letter, according to The Associated Press. “Blood must be paid with blood, lives with lives, heads with heads.”

While Muslims compose 86.1 of Indonesia’s population, Protestants account for 5.7 percent, Roman Catholics 3 percent, Hindus 1.8 percent, and others 3.4 percent, according the CIA World Factbook.

Persecuted by Islam

Indonesia — the East Indies — was once entirely Hindu and Buddhist 

What is present-day Indonesia — the East Indies — was once entirely Hindu and Buddhist. Yet without direct military conquest by large armies, most of Indonesia became Muslim. How did it happen? Muslim traders from the Hadramaut (now part of Yemen) established posts in Java and Sumatra. These trading posts enlarged, and more Muslims came, and came to stay. They were busy in their conversion efforts, and some of those posts took on military aspects. Eventually, the rulers of both Java and Sumatra accepted Islam themselves, and as was customary in those days (14th-15th century) their people adopted the religion of their rulers. And steadily, by degrees, the forces of Islam began to spread to other islands, and while there are still parts of Indonesia where Hindus may yet be in the majority (e.g. Bali) and Buddhists, too, are not unknown, nor Christians, Indonesia was won for Islam the way, if there is not a halt to Muslim immigration, and a determined resistance to all further Muslim efforts to conduct Jihad by means other than the obvious — combat or qitaal — the same outcome, speeded up, could come to the former colonial master of Indonesia, the Netherlands, and to other countries in Western Europe.

The most important single bit of information in “Fitna” was not any of the passages from the Qur’an. It was a bit of demographic information: that in 1960 there were about 1,500 Muslims in the Netherlands, and forty-four years later there were close to a million.

2008_04_08t105144_450×291_uk_indonesia_youtube.jpg

Demography is destiny. Look closely at the picture above of the maddened Muslim protesters in Indonesia, threatening death to a Dutch member of Parliament who dared to quote the Qur’an — entirely accurately — in a fifteen-minute film. There are already such scenes, intermittently, on the streets of London and Paris. Would you like those countries of Western Europe to routinely have such scenes, and become, as Indonesia did over centuries, or as Kafiristan and Waziristan did over little more than the last 100 years, or as Malaysia has been doing during the last few decades, steadiy islamizing, steadily raising the percentage of the population that willingly submits to the Total Belief-System of Islam, with all that that would mean for art, science, human freedom?

Or do you think all possible measures should be taken to prevent that from happening? What do you think the inheritors, often unworthy, of the legacy of Western civilization owe the creators of that legacy, and what do they owe posterity?

And this is how they treat the Ahmadiyya:

Jihad Comes to Wall Street

“Sharia finance” does exactly what it promises, financing the spread of sharia — and terror.

By Alex Alexiev

If you’ve seen Geert Wilders’s film Fitna, you may not have noticed a single headline amongst all the bombings, beheadings, and earnest expressions of Islam’s eventual world domination: Halal-fund: investments for Muslims. But the investment vehicles referenced are an essential part of radical Islam’s efforts to insinuate itself into Western societies in order to destroy them from within. And Wall Street, barely out of the woods from its disastrous run-in with sub-prime mortgages — and having lost one of its historic investment houses, Bear Stearns, in the process — is now chasing the very kind of “sharia finance” against which Wilders’s movie warns, a business line that may eventually wind up being even more calamitous than the subprime-mortgage fiasco.

For the growing army of its acolytes, who salivate at the prospect of tens of billions of dollars in transaction fees from the burgeoning industry, sharia-compliant finance is seen as little more than a cuddly Islamic version of socially conscious investment — with ethical strictures forbidding usury and sin industries, and emphasizing charity. Indeed, a conference on the subject last Fall co-sponsored by the Wall Street Journal was titled just that: “Islamic Ethical Investment.” According to this rosy interpretation, sharia finance is a windfall for capital markets — allowing Wall Street to skim some foam off the ocean of petrodollar liquidity in the Middle East, and put it to good use.

Sowdi prince Alwaleed gives Cambridge University £8m for Islamic studies centre

images6.jpeg

Telegraph UK/ thanks to John

* Just wondering: what exactly will this ‘Islamic Studies Centre’ do to advance humanity?

* Uh, just remembered: only Muslims are human, so here we go again:

Cambridge University has been given £8 million by a Saudi Arabian prince to establish an Islamic studies centre.

Prince Alwaleed Bin Talal hit the headlines in 2001 when his offer of cash for the victims of the September 11 attacks in New York was turned down after he criticised American foreign policy. New York’s then mayor, Rudolph Giuliani, rejected a £6.6 million donation when the businessman issued a statement that America had to adopt a “more balanced stance” on Palestine. The row belies the prince’s influence in America, however.

Prince Alwaleed Bin Talal,
ranked in the top 20 richest men in the world, with a fortune of about £10 billion, has donated the cash to the university to fund a centre in his name for the study of the role of Islam in the Middle East and globally.

A renowned philanthropist, the prince has made two donations of £10 million to establish Islamic studies centres at Harvard University, in Cambridge, Massachusetts, and Georgetown, in Washington. He also gave £10 million to fund an Islamic art wing at the Louvre Museum in Paris.

Arab News: 'Jihad Terror is just an Islamic PR Problem'

UK Plotters Made Martyrdom Videos

Mushtak Parker, Arab News

LONDON, 5 April 2008 — An eight-member gang of British Muslims, accused among other things of plotting to blow up passenger planes mid-air en route to destinations in the United States and Canada, compiled a target list of “limitless ambition” and recorded chilling martyrdom videos warning of a reign of terror attacks against Britons and Jews, in revenge for their actions as accomplices of America, a court in London heard yesterday.

Unfortunately, the trial once again catapulted the specter of so-called “Islamist terrorism” to the front pages of British newspapers and TV and radio bulletins. “Suicide Gang’s Terror War Without Limit” — the headline in last night’s London Evening Standard — was one of the more sober ones.

In the dock at Woolwich Crown Court are: Abdullah Ahmed Ali (also known as Ahmed Ali Khan), 27, of Walthamstow; Assad Sarwar, 24, of High Wycombe; Tanvir Hussain, 27, of Leyton; Mohammed Gulzar, 26, of Barking; Ibrahim Savant, 27, of Stoke Newington; Arafat Waheed Khan, 26, of Walthamstow; Waheed Zaman, 23, of Walthamstow; and Umar Islam (formerly Brian Young), 29, of Plaistow. All of the men are British born and bred.

British Muslims Wanted to Take Families on Suicide Missions

bombersislam.jpg

Members of a British Muslim terrorist cell discussed taking their wives and children on suicide missions to blow up transatlantic jets, a jury heard yesterday.
The ringleader, Abdulla Ahmed Ali, was bugged by police talking about whether to bring his baby son but said his wife “would not agree to it”.

Umar Islam, however, said his wife might join the plot if it were a “significant operation”.

Six of the eight-strong gang each made “chilling” suicide videos expressing the desire to wreak “death and destruction” against the West and “Kuffar”, or non-believers.

They were intended to serve as taunts from beyond the grave if their horrifying plot had succeeded, it was claimed.

Same question as always: have members of Parti Islam se-Malaysia (PAS) ever extremely condemned Osama bin Laden and the global jihad movement? Have members of Parti Islam se-Malaysia (PAS) ever extremely condemned the violence and supremacism on the part of Muslims, as depicted in Wilders’s film? Have members of Parti Islam se-Malaysia (PAS) ever even marginally condemned these things?

Still, the riots and violence that Europe and the world was so afraid would come in the film’s wake has not come. That could change any day, of course, but its absence may indicate that at this point the emphasis from the OIC and other Islamic entities is on obtaining actual restrictions on freedom of speech in the West, not on further demonstrations of what will happen if freedom of speech is not restricted.

Vote on Freedom of Expression marks the end of Universal Human Rights

freedom-of-expression-go-to-hell.jpg
A press release from the International Humanist and Ethical Union:

Proponents of free speech at the United Nations Human Rights Council (UNHRC) have accused Islamic countries of “hijacking” a resolution intended to renew the mandate of the special rapporteur on freedom of expression and turning it into an order to report on defamation of religion.
In the words of the Canadian delegation: “instead of promoting freedom of expression the Special Rapporteur would be policing its exercise”.

The amended resolution was adopted on Friday in Geneva by 32 votes in favour (mainly Islamic states with support from China, Cuba and Russia). There were no votes against, but 15 abstentions.

Roy Brown, spokesman at the UNCHR in Geneva for the International Humanist and Ethical Union, commented: “Canada’s position was echoed by several delegations, who objected to the change of focus from protecting to limiting freedom of expression. More than 20 of the original 53 co-sponsors of the resolution withdrew their sponsorship. These included the European Union and the United Kingdom (speaking for Australia and the United States), India, Switzerland, Brazil, Bolivia and Guatemala.”

“Freedom of expression is most important for those who live under the tyranny of Islamic law. This was highlighted by a courageous group of 21 NGOs from the Islamic States who issued a statement appealing to delegations not to support the amendment.”

Hesham Islam, Influential Muslim in Defense Department cleared of any wrongdoing

The Hesham Islam/Stephen Couglin affair

* An agent of Islam in the state department gets his official blessing as an Islamic mole. The mind boggles. People who are sworn  to protect us are working for Islamintern:

An update on the Stephen Couglin imbroglio: “Islam cleared,” from Bill Gertz’s Inside the Ring in the Washington Times

Infiltration 

Hesham Islam cleared

Deputy Defense Secretary Gordon England cleared his special assistant of any wrongdoing related to a run-in with former Joint Staff analyst Stephen Coughlin, and amid questions about the Muslim aide’s background.

“The deputy secretary’s office has thoroughly reviewed the issues of concern raised by a few members of Congress and the media and has concluded there is no reason to question Cmdr. Hesham Islam’s credibility or his allegiance to his country,” Pentagon press secretary Geoff Morrell told Inside the Ring.

Mr. Islam, a retired Navy commander, came under criticism after a meeting last fall with Mr. Coughlin, a leading specialist on the relationship between Islamic law and terrorism, when Mr. Islam told associates that Mr. Coughlin was a “Christian zealot with a pen” because of his hard-line views on the ties between extremism and Islam.

Additionally, journalist Claudia Rosett wrote a National Review Online article questioning Mr. Islam’s official biography that had been posted on the official Pentagon Web site and was removed after her article ran.

Miss Rosett noted that Mr. Islam claimed to be in Cairo when it was bombed by Israel in 1967, but there are no records of bombing the Egyptian capital, only the airport near Cairo.

Mr. Islam also claimed to have been on board a freighter sunk by an Iranian torpedo in the Persian Gulf, but that could not be verified.

Investigators determined there are some things that are “unknowable” about Mr. Islam’s background.

Some defense security officials said the discrepancies raise concerns because Mr. Islam holds a security clearance.

 Mr. England’s investigators also denied that Mr. Islam or Mr. England got Mr. Coughlin fired from the contractor position as a Joint Staff analyst, which happened after the contentious meeting between Mr. Islam and the analyst. Mr. Coughlin left the Joint Staff last month and is working for the Office of the Secretary of Defense shop for special operations and low-intensity conflict.

Mr. Morrell said Mr. Islam has assisted Mr. England for the past three years and is “a valuable adviser” who helps with Mr. England’s contacts with foreign officials.

Including members of the Muslim Brotherhood.

Ayman al Zawahiri: next year in Jerusalem

How catastrophic would it be if the US abruptly pulled out of Iraq following the innaugural of a future President Obama? Gateway Pundit notices the news that the major media don’t want to headline.
