Saudi Arabia investing in Hizb ut-Tahrir

Anders Wellebeeke/ via Weasel Zippers

‘Saudi Arabia is funding a number of European departments of Hizb ut-Tahrir,’ the Dutch Intelligence Service (AIVD) revealed at a conference of the Center for Strategic & International Studies in Washington. According to a staff member ‘the Saudis are still poised to play an active role in radically Islamic movements. They have great sums of money at their disposal, and it is difficult to refuse the Saudi dollars.’

Hizb ut-Tahrir is continuously monitored by the Dutch Intelligence Service. According to a 2004 report on Islamic radicalization, From Dawa to Jihad, the organization has a strategy of secretive jihad. ‘Officially, Hizb ut-Tahrir claims to reject violent jihad, but its supporters have been involved in anti-semitic incidents and incitement to acts of violence in a number of European countries’ (p. 46). In other words, Hizb ut-Tahrir’s strategy falls within the (popular) definition of taqiyya, the licence to lie to non-Muslims. The AIVD calls the organization ‘a threat’, because it seeks ‘to secretly promote violence through the cultivation of a radical and puritan form of Islam’ (p. 45).

According to the AIVD, the Hizb ut-Tahrir considers itself not yet strong enough to actually use violence. In the mean time, it seems to use those Saudi dollars to boost Islamic consciousness amongst Dutch Muslims. In Dutch cities with concentrated populations of Muslims, Hizb ut-Tahrir regularly spreads pamphlets regarding the creation of a global caliphate. More recently, it organized an internet petition against ‘the slandering of Islam’ by Geert Wilders, leader of the Freedom Party.

The petition, by the way, is exemplary of the monstrous alliance between Muslim extremists and Dutch progressives (commies & useful idiots/ ed) in the battle against ‘Islamophobia’. So, on 20 January, we have Abdelaziz calling for the victory of Islam over the infidels, and Rik raging against Geert Wilders’ opposition to Islam:

Abdelaziz (7:10 CET): ‘Islam will prevail, and we, with the help of the New Prophet, will defeat the Impostor and the disbelievers. Inshallah. My life and death truely belong to Allah. Subhanellahthala.’
Rik (8:42 CET): ‘I am against the raking up of differences that in reality aren’t that big, and that have nothing to do with Islam as a faith. Someone so deranged to see Islam as a problem is unworthy of freedom of speech. Unnecessary extremists such as Wilders must be stopped to prevent things from getting worse. He is a threat to our peaceful society.’

* We beg to differ!

*
Note that Rik’s stance is remarkably close to the statement by Okay Pala, the Dutch leader of Hizb ut-Tahrir, that ‘we reject freedom of speech, because we reject democracy’. And in this political climate, there seem to be plenty of opportunities for Saudi investors indeed.

Chutzpah alert:

An Iranian MP says the Netherlands will face widespread protests if it gives the green light to the screening of an anti-Islam movie.

* Remember: these are the same creeps who respect nothing, not the sanctity of an embassy, not the lives of dissidents, not women, they hang homosexuals and young girls from cranes, and they just made a blasphemous movie about Jesus Christ that should bring out the Christians rioting. (But strangely, we never see that)

Head of the Majlis National Security and Foreign Policy Commission Alaeddin Boroujerdi said that the Iranian nation would react to any insult to Islam.

The senior Iranian lawmaker added that Muslims will not tolerate any insult to Islam.

Iran expects The Hague to ban the controversial movie, otherwise Majlis (the Parliament) will call on the government to reconsider its relations with the Netherlands, he said.

A Dutch MP announced in November that he plans to make a 10-minute film which would reflect his insulting views about the Holy Qur’an.

Fear of Islamic Terror Kills Dutch Art Exhibition

THE Dutch are debating the limits of freedom of expression after an artist who photographed gay men wearing masks of the prophet Mohammed was forced into hiding and her work removed from a museum exhibit.

Speaking on the telephone from an unspecified location in The Netherlands last week, the artist, an Iranian exile who goes by the pseudonym of Sooreh Hera, said she had been threatened with execution. She accused the director of the municipal museum in The Hague of cowardice for caving in to Muslim extremists.

India: ‘Hurt Feelings’ make Muslims call for censorship, burn Rushdie effigy

‘Refuse visa to Rushdie, Taslima’

Mumbai, Jan 19: The State Minority Commission has sent a letter to the Centre asking to refuse visa to controversial author Salman Rushdie and Bangladeshi writer Taslima Nasreen as they have hurt Muslim sentiments.

“They have hurt the feelings of Muslim community. We do not want them to stay in India and create law and order problem,” chairman of the Commission, Mohammed Naseem Siddiqui said.

* Inverted reality: Muslims threaten violence because they don’t like critcism, and blame ‘the other’…

“These writers are anti-social elements and disturbing peace in the society. We condemn their stay in India,” Siddiqui said.

Over 200 political activists protested author Salman Rushdie’s stay in Mumbai and burnt his effigy recently. Religious leaders said earlier Rushdie’s novel “The Satanic Verses” (1988) had evoked condemnation from the entire Islamic world.

Taslima Nasreen has been forced to stay away from West Bengal as threats from Muslim fundamentalists continue.

Siddiqui also said that the action should be taken against painter M F Husain for painting Hindu Gods and Goddesses in nude.

* Right. Its almost as if Muslims cared about Hindu’s, which they otherwise despise as ‘cow-worshipers’- but you never know: some fool might swallow it and hop along for the ride, censorship is such a tempting thing…

Egypt’s top religous body has called for tough penalties on people who convert to Islam for personal reasons, only to re-convert to their old religion, Quds Press news agency reported on Saturday.

The religious ruling, issued by the fatwa committee at Al Azhar, affects mostly Coptic Christians, who often convert to Islam in order to get a divorce, to remarry, or to marry a Muslim. They then convert back to Christianity once they have achieved the desired result.

According to the fatwa, the practice of re-converting after converting to Islam is “a grave crime that cannot be met with leniency.”

It says offenders should be penalized according to Sharia (Islamic law), but did not specify the penalty.

Some scholars say there is no specific punishment for apostasy in Islam, while others claim it is an offense punishable by death.

The fatwa was issued in response to a request from Counselor Moataz Kamel Morsi, Deputy Chairman of the State Council, the government body that oversees lawsuits filed by re-converting Christians, the Egyptian government weekly for religious affairs Akidati said in its last issue.

Copts usually file suit to have new identification cards issued to officially prove their return to Christianity.

There have been 148 re-conversion cases since June 2006, only 32 of which have been granted. The others are pending.

The head of the Fatwa Committee, Sheikh Abdul-Hamid Al-Atrash, said people are never forced to convert to Islam, but once they do, it has to be out of absolute belief in the religion and total conviction of its principles.

Therefore, he said the decision to convert should not be retractable.

The fatwa says offenders will first be given the chance to “repent,” and if they insist on leaving Islam, they should be penalized.

In April 2007, Egypt’s Administrative Court ruled that people re-converting to Christianity will not be allowed new identification documents, a decision that infuriated Copts.

“This is an inhuman decision that violates the right of citizenship granted to all Egyptians according to Article 1 of the constitution,” said Coptic secularist activist Kamal Zakher.

Just a month earlier, the Supreme Administrative Court made an opposite ruling, obliging the Interior Ministry to issue new ID documents for re-converts.

Statistics, both Coptic and Islamic, indicate that there is a remarkable increase in the numbers of Copts converting to Islam.

Fitzgerald: There is no compulsion in religion

Islamic propagandists frequently bring out the old chestnut about there being “no compulsion in religion.” Another one did so here recently. Perhaps he is unaware that in the lands conquered by Muslims they offered, as Qur’an and Sunnah tell them to offer, only three possibilities to non-Muslims: death, conversion, or the status of humiliation, degradation, and physical insecurity known as that of the “dhimmi.”

From The Home of the Green Arrow

THE BIG LIE of our times is to deny that Islam is an intrinsically violent, aggressive and murderous ideology.

Our lords and masters repeat their PC denial of this blindingly obvious fact in various forms (‘Religion of Peace’, or ‘tiny minority of extremists’etc), in the belief that like some sort of magical spell, it will become true if recited often enough.

Supporting strands of this web of deceit include claims that Islamic aggression is a recent reaction to the sins of the West (colonialism ), or is caused by poverty (buy them off with more jizya), or is carried out by a tiny minority who misunderstand the peaceful commandments of the Koran, or, in a whopper that would be worthy of Goebbels himself – that Islamic terrorism is actually anti-Islamic, as preached by the hypocrite Jacqui Smith.
Another strand of deceit is the never-ending search for the Holy Grail – the Mythical Moderate Islam which is claimed to be the real authentic version of the Cult of Mohammed. Of course any ‘moderate’ version of Islam would have to repudiate the violent verses in the Koran, and so commit blasphemy by rejecting the Word of God. (make that Allah)
But, as public awareness of Islam grows, these repeated denials and myths parrotted by politicians begin to look increasingly absurd.

Many of us now understand the implacably aggresive nature of Islam and its polarised worldview – the tribal antagonism between Ummah and Kuffar, the territorial antagonism between Dar al-Islam and Dar al-Harb, the overwhelming need to kill or humiliate non-Muslims, the death penalty for those who attempt to leave Islam and the obligation to totally exterminate the Jewish people.

But what else can the politicians say other than repeat the RoP mantra? The alternative would be to admit that on their watch they have allowed, and are continuing to allow, the invasion of millions of Dark-Age savages committed to a vicious totalitarian ideology which demands our death or subjugation.

So as regards telling the truth about Islam, they are damned if they do and damned if they don’t! They have a choice of either staying in denial, and thus appearing to an increasingly Islamic-aware electorate to be gullible idiots and bare-faced liars, or else they must admit that they have been so incompetant as to allow a social disaster to take place that can have no outcome other than civil war.

Same thing in France: A Cult of Denunciation

The French anti-discrimination law, like those of other countries (e.g. Belgium’s) does not speak of race but of “presumed” or “so-called race” (“prétendue race”). According to the politically-correct politicians and ideologues who wrote these bills, human races do not exist because all people are equal. If races do not exist, however, racists cannot exist either. Hence, racism has been redefined. Racists are people who discriminate on the basis of “presumed” or “so-called” race. Non-PC people realize, of course, that consequently the people prosecuted on the basis of these laws are presumed or so-called racists.

As Mr. Pince writes:
[T]he vague notion of “objective and reasonable justification” is subject to the free interpretation of the High Authority, leading to all manner of arbitrariness, and creating a permanent dilemma for administrations, enterprises, and private individuals such a landlords. In truth, this absurd law was passed at the instigation of malfeasant associations which, on the pretext of fighting racism, devote their time to persecuting ethnic Frenchmen. In the USSR, the “Minister of Security” was the incarnation of total insecurity, sending people to the gulag for a yes or a no. Likewise, the fight against discriminations covers up the institutionalization of anti-white racism in France.

A Cutting Tradition

* Looks like the NYT has removed the article. Here’s another link…

When a girl is taken — usually by her mother — to a free circumcision event held each spring in Bandung, Indonesia, she is handed over to a small group of women who, swiftly and yet with apparent affection, cut off a small piece of her genitals. Sponsored by the Assalaam Foundation, an Islamic educational and social-services organization, circumcisions take place in a prayer center or an emptied-out elementary-school classroom where desks are pushed together and covered with sheets and a pillow to serve as makeshift beds. The procedure takes several minutes. There is little blood involved. Afterward, the girl’s genital area is swabbed with the antiseptic Betadine. She is then helped back into her underwear and returned to a waiting area, where she’s given a small, celebratory gift — some fruit or a donated piece of clothing — and offered a cup of milk for refreshment. She has now joined a quiet majority in Indonesia, where, according to a 2003 study by the Population Council, an international research group, 96 percent of families surveyed reported that their daughters had undergone some form of circumcision by the time they reached 14.

Tears are wiped from the face of a 9-month-old following her circumcision.

*

These photos were taken in April 2006, at the foundation’s annual mass circumcision, which is free and open to the public held during the lunar month marking the birth of the prophet Muhammad. The Assalaam Foundation runs several schools and a mosque in Bandung, Indonesia’s third-largest city and the capital of West Java. The photographer Stephanie Sinclair was taken to the circumcision event by a reproductive-health observer from Jakarta and allowed to spend several hours there. Over the course of that Sunday morning, more than 200 girls were circumcised, many of them appearing to be under the age of 5. Meanwhile, in a nearby building, more than 100 boys underwent a traditional circumcision as well.

According to Lukman Hakim, the foundation’s chairman of social services, there are three “benefits” to circumcising girls.

“One, it will stabilize her libido,” he said through an interpreter. “Two, it will make a woman look more beautiful in the eyes of her husband. And three, it will balance her psychology.”

Female genital cutting — commonly identified among international human rights groups as female genital mutilation — has been outlawed in 15 African countries. Many industrialized countries also have similar laws. Both France and the U.S. have prosecuted immigrant residents for performing female circumcisions.

In Indonesia, home to the world’s largest Muslim population, a debate over whether to ban female circumcision is in its early stages. The Ministry of Health has issued a decree forbidding medical personnel to practice it, but the decree which has yet to be backed by legislation does not affect traditional circumcisers and birth attendants, who are thought to do most female circumcisions. Many agree that a full ban is unlikely without strong support from the country’s religious leaders. According to the Population Council study, many Indonesians view circumcision for boys and girls as a religious duty.

German security authorities have issued a warning to the Jewish community of an increased threat of terrorist attack emanating from Lebanon, a senior Jewish official said Sunday.

Stefan Kramer, general secretary of the Central Council of German Jews, told Deutsche Presse-Agentur (DPA) the warning had been received more than a week ago, on January 11.

He confirmed weekend news reports that increased precautions were being taken. The increased threat was to synagogues and Jewish schools across the country, and not just in Berlin, as was reported earlier, Kramer said.

War to end anti-Semitism is not over

AUSTRALIA

The case of Menachem Vorchheimer, an orthodox Jew punched in the face when he remonstrated with drunken men hurling anti-Semitic abuse in late 2006, has become a cause celebre here and elsewhere. Some might question Mr Vorchheimer’s zealous pursuit of those who victimised him but he doesn’t care.

What matters more than the Vorchheimer case is its context: it is just one of a growing number of anti-Semitic incidents in Australia, where Jews are now four times more likely to be attacked than they are in the UK. On the latest annual figures, 638 incidents were recorded here — twice the previous average.

No wonder, then, that a US envoy with a brief to combat anti-Semitism is arriving here this week to investigate what’s going wrong. We will watch with interest whether he gets a hearing from our Premier and our police chief. And report accordingly.

Flight or fight, is Europe lost?

The Islamic enemy is using an interesting and unusual arsenal of weapons to defeat the West, most of it involving using the West’s own freedoms against it, and helping the weight of its own guilt tip the scales in their favor.

That the non-Muslims are leaving tells me they don’t wish to become Muslim or live under Islamic rule. But it also tells me that there’s a pervasive unwillingness to stand up for their right to live as they choose over there. And that wasn’t always the case.

No matter what blame some national leaders place on themselves for their Muslim immigrants not having assimilated, the population knows better. They know the Muslims have no desire to become European. They want Europe to become Muslim.

That’s the plan, and it’s working.

Sentence first, verdict afterwards,” declares the queen in Alice In Wonderland.

Canadians are uncomfortable even confronting what’s going on in their name. On last week’s letters page, Lauren Demaree of Windsor seemed closest to “mainstream” “moderate” Canadian opinion:

“Placing limits on free speech is a slippery slope, but that is not the only issue in play here. There is often a fine line that is crossed between opinion and hate propaganda and our laws need to reflect this more effectively. Where do we draw the line? When a group of people is harassed or when someone is beaten? How about killed? When your writer Andrew Coyne sits on a high horse spouting the ideals of free speech, he doesn’t stop and think about the consequences of his words.”

Who has been “killed” or “beaten” or “harassed” by Coyne-Steyn “hate propaganda”? The killings and bombings, as Ezra Levant pointed out, occur in countries without freedom of expression — because when you criminalize words the only expression left is action. How sad to see Canada pursuing, as the federal “human rights” commission puts it, “A Watch On Hate.” Not “hate crimes” or even “hate speech,” but just “hate” — thoughts, feelings. Mohamed Elmasry of the Canadian Islamic Congress is a world-class hater who thinks all Israeli civilians over 18 are legitimate targets for murder. Bully for him. Yet, in his pursuit of Maclean’s, Lauren Demaree sees the hater as the pin-up crusader who’ll abolish hate. No free society can do that. But it can certainly abolish, incrementally, freedom of expression and the presumption of innocence in relentless pursuit of such a banal happy-face chimera. The arbitrary absurdity of Alice-in-Wonderland’s queen yoked to the Cheshire Cat smile. This is your fight, too, Lauren, even if you don’t yet know it.

*

Because I’ve always been opposed to “human rights” commissions in theory (I like proper courts with things like “due process”), I failed to appreciate until Maclean’s present predicament how much worse they are in practice. These commissions were supposedly intended to investigate discrimination in housing and the like, but then came the very poorly drafted Section XIII, which makes it a crime to communicate anything electronically “likely to expose a person or persons to hatred or contempt.” “Likely,” eh? What does that mean? Well, according to the key determination, subsequently endorsed by the Supreme Court, in Canadian legalese “likely” now means “highly unlikely.” That’s to say, notwithstanding the absence of any evidence by the plaintiffs of anyone at all ever having been exposed to actual hatred or contempt, nor even any coherent argument as to why there is a hypothetical possibility of someone unspecified being exposed to theoretical hatred or contempt in the decades ahead, a commission can still deem such hatred or contempt “likely.”

In the three decades of the Canadian “Human Rights” Tribunal’s existence, not a single “defendant” has been “acquitted.” Would you bet on Maclean’s bucking this spectacular 100 per cent conviction rate? “Sentence first, verdict afterwards,” declares the queen in Alice In Wonderland. Canada’s not quite there yet, but at the Human Rights Commission, it’s “Verdict first, trial afterwards.” So I’m guilty and Ken Whyte’s guilty and Maclean’s is guilty because that’s the only verdict there is.

Jacqui Smith Update:

British interior minister feels unsafe in London after dark

* Serious fuckwit in charge but not responsible:

LONDON, Jan 20, 2008 (AFP) – Britain’s interior minister Jacqui Smith admitted she would be afraid of walking the streets of London late at night, in an interview in The Sunday Times newspaper.

The home secretary said she would feel unsafe walking around plush districts like Kensington and Chelsea as well as deprived areas like Hackney.

Asked if she would feel safe walking alone after midnight in Hackney, Smith replied: ‘Well, no, but I don’t think I’d ever have done. You know, I would never have done that, at any point in my life.’

Asked why not, she answered: ‘Well, I just don’t think that’s a thing that people do, is it really?’

Smith was then asked whether she would feel unsafe walking around an area like Kensington and Chelsea. She replied: ‘Well, I wouldn’t walk around at midnight and I’m fortunate that I don’t have to do that.’

Following the interview, a worried aide called The Sunday Times to clarify her remarks, saying the wording had not come out as she had intended.

The aide stressed that Smith had recently ‘bought a kebab in Peckham’, one of the British capital’s more deprived areas.

Any woman would feel safe doing so being accompanied by the body guards assigned to the home secretary, The Sunday Times said in its editorial.

‘Home secretaries are supposed to strike fear into the hearts of criminals, not cower behind net curtains,’ the weekly broadsheet said.

‘The home secretary should not just admit that our streets are not safe — she should do something about it.’

A survey by pollsters YouGov in August found that 46 percent of Londoners did not feel safe in their neighbourhoods at night.

A spate of teenage murders in the capital last year led to fears of a knife and gun culture among urban youths.

By Paul Taylor

KRONBERG, Germany (Reuters) – A senior Saudi royal has offered Israel a vision of broad cooperation with the Arab world and people-to-people contacts if it signs a peace treaty and withdraws from all occupied Arab territories.

* Selling genocide in the old smarmy Arab tradition…

In an interview with Reuters, Prince Turki al-Faisal, a former ambassador to the United States and Britain and adviser to King Abdullah, said Israel and the Arabs could cooperate in many areas including water, agriculture, science and education.

Asked what message he wanted to send to the Israeli public, he said:

“The Arab world, by the Arab peace initiative, has crossed the Rubicon from hostility towards Israel to peace with Israel and has extended the hand of peace to Israel, and we await the Israelis picking up our hand and joining us in what inevitably will be beneficial for Israel and for the Arab world.”

The 22-nation Arab League revived at a Riyadh summit last year a Saudi peace plan first adopted in 2002 offering Israel full normalisation of relations in return for full withdrawal from occupied Palestinian, Syrian and Lebanese land.

Israel shunned the offer then, at the height of a violent Palestinian uprising in the West Bank and Gaza Strip.

But it has expressed more interest since the United States launched a new drive for Israeli-Palestinian peace at Annapolis, Maryland, last November, aiming for an agreement this year.

Prince Turki, who was previously head of Saudi intelligence, said that if Israel accepted the Arab League plan and signed a comprehensive peace, “one can imagine the integration of Israel into the Arab geographical entity”.
