Saudis toben über Koranschändung

So far unfortunately only in German, waiting for a link or a translation:
Saudi-Arabien dringt nach den Koranschmähungen eines niederländischen Abgeordneten auf ein Eingreifen der Regierung in Den Haag.

Der Chef der Anti-Einwanderer-Partei PPV, Geert Wilders, hatte Muslime in den Niederlanden zuletzt aufgefordert, die Hälfte des Korans wegzuwerfen, falls sie im Land bleiben wollten.

Wie die Zeitung «Al-Watan» am Sonntag berichtete, kontaktierte die saudi-arabische Botschaft in Den Haag nun das niederländische Aussenministerium und verlangte eine Entschuldigung.

«Die Botschaft hat die niederländische Seite aufgefordert, solche Erklärungen und Handlungen zu stoppen», meldete das saudi- arabische Blatt weiter. Die beiden heiligsten Stätten des Islam liegen in Saudi-Arabien.

Wilders, der seit dem Mord an dem Filmemacher und Islamkritiker Theo van Gogh 2004 unter strenger Bewachung lebt, hatte in einem Interview auch gegen den Propheten Mohammed gewettert.

«Wenn Mohammed heute noch leben würde, könnte ich mir vorstellen, dass ich ihn als Extremisten geteert und gefedert aus dem Land jagen würde», sagte er der Zeitung «De Pers».

* Translation: ‘If Muhammad was alive today he would be tarred and fettered and chased out of the country…’

* Wilders must be a moderate. The Winds of Jihad crew wouldn’t let him get away…

* Actually, throwing half of the Koran away would be very generous. When you take all the filth out of the Koran you’d be left with perhaps 1 or 2 pages…

Iran authorities lash man for having bible in car – report

Iran Focus

Tehran, Iran, Aug. 13 – Iranian authorities in Tehran lashed a man on his back earlier this year for having a bible in his car, an Iranian Christian group said in a report on its website on Friday.

The man was only identified by the initials A. Sh.

img46c0d05a7e743.jpg

On 5 May, the man, driving his vehicle, was involved in a road accident with a car belonging to security guards for a government official in Tehran.

A bible and a video of Jesus Christ were found in the man’s possession upon inspection of his vehicle by the state security forces (SSF).

A. Sh. admitted to being Christian, prompting the security agents to beat him up, the report said. He was arrested and taken to a holding cell in Detention Centre 102.

During interrogation security agents accused the man of converting from Islam to Christianity, a practice banned under Iran’s strict theocratic laws.

He was subsequently subjected to lashes on the back and underwent physical and psychological torture, the report added.

He was released two days later after his family made bail.

* A would-be mass murderer in Morocco tried to take out a bus full of tourists today, but only succeeded in blowing up himself.

* Sounds like Al Reuters regrets that the bomber didn’t succeed. Are those tourists ‘islamophobic’ now?

cartoon-1.jpg

BAT (Reuters) A suspected radical Islamist tried to blow up himself near a bus carrying tourists in the Moroccan city of Meknes on Monday but he detonated the gas cylinder he was carrying before reaching it, police sources said.
“The gas cylinder exploded some metres (yards) from the bus and badly injured the attacker,” said one police source.

Another source said authorities suspected the bomber was a member of the radical Islamist Jihadia group.

Police sources said the failed suicide attack came after anti-terrorism police stepped up a crackdown on radical Islamists in the past six months, arresting scores of suspected jihadists.

“That crackdown move put terrorists on the defensive and destabilised their plots and forced them to commit acts of despair like this one,” a third source added.

The sources said the attack in Meknes, 136 km (85 miles) southwest of Rabat, was a reminder of similar bombings in Casablanca in March and April this year, when seven suicide bombers killed themselves and a police officer.

Two of the suicide bombers that killed themselves near U.S. diplomatic offices in Morocco’s commercial hub, Casablanca, in April clearly intended to attack those buildings, the authorities have said.

In June, Morocco raised its security alert to the highest maximum level, suggesting an attack was imminent.

Eurabians: You can run, but you can’t hide

Qur’an 8:59 “The infidels should not think that they can escape. Prepare against them whatever arms and weaponry you can muster so that you may terrorize them. They are your enemy and Allah’s enemy.”

Hugh Fitzgerald:

In 1970 there were 15,000 Muslims in the Netherlands. There are now one million. They are causing, they have caused, a situation for the indigenous Dutch (and of course for other, but non-Muslim immigrants, such as Vietnamese Buddhists, Hindus from India and even Indonesia, and Chinese of Confucian or Christian or other persuasion) that is far more unpleasant, expensive, and physically dangerous than it would be without that quite unwelcome, quite unnecessary, and deeply dangerous Muslim presence, a presence that the Muslims themselves recognize as being one behind what they are taught to regard, and most do regard, as enemy lines, the lines of the Infidels.

* Eurabia’s socialists are trying to replace the indigenous population with Muhammedans, but you are not allowed to say that. In the realm of Gordon Brownnose the soldiers of Allah are now called ‘Asians’- an insult to every non-Muslim Asian, but perfectly in line with the guidelines of Franco Frattini’s EU caliphate.The idea under discussion is to have a European Islam,” – sez Franco. Trouble is that there has never been another Islam but the one based on the Koran which calls for genocide on unbelievers and Jooozzz. So the only possible outcome of this pigheaded stupidity is an Islamic Europe, ‘EURABIA’-

* Franco Frattini is promoting a pipe dream. Fact is that there is no place in Europe where a ‘European Islam’ is evolving. On the contrary: There is ample evidence that exactly the opposite is happening and Europe’s Muslims are becoming increasingly radicalized and belligerent. Appeasement doesn’t work.

Qur’an 8:7 “Allah wished to confirm the truth by His words: ‘Wipe the infidels out to the last.'” (Qur’an 5:72 defines “infidels” as Christians and Jews in case you’re wondering)

BRITAIN is facing a mass exodus of people looking to escape the crime and grime of modern living.

Many cite their reason for wanting to quit as immigration to these shores – and the burden it is placing on their communities and local authorities. The dearth of good schools, spiralling house prices, rising crime and tax increases are also driving people away.

The country’s biggest foreign visa consultancy firm has revealed that applications have soared in the last seven months by 80 per cent to almost 4,000 a week. Ten years ago the figure was just 300 a week.

‘Al Qaeda Reader’: New Book By Raymond Ibrahim

From the Publisher

Update: “Radical Islam’s war with the West is not finite and limited to political grievances — real or imagined — but is existential, transcending time and space and deeply rooted in faith” 

13262086jpg.jpg

Raymond Ibrahim in his interview on FOX with Sean Hannity, watch the video
Since 9/11, statements and writings of Osama bin Laden and other Al Qaeda leaders published in the Western press have offered chilling glimpses of the organization and the beliefs fueling its war on the West. The Al Qaeda Reader presents a deeper, and much more frightening, portrait.

As an assistant in the African and Middle Eastern Division of the Library of Congress, Raymond Ibrahim had unparalleled access to writings by Bin Laden and his cohorts. He found striking differences in both tone and content between statements published in English and those written in Arabic and distributed in the Muslim world. Ibrahim’s translations of these documents trace the origins and evolution of Al Qaeda and reveal an ideology that calls for a relentless jihad against non-Muslim “infidels,” repudiates democracy in favor of Islamic law, stresses the importance of martyrdom, and mocks the notion of “moderate” Islam.

The most stunning aspect of these translations is how grounded they are in the traditional sources of Islamic teachings: the Koran and the teachings of the Prophet. The members of Al Qaeda use these as powerful weapons of persuasion, reminding followers (and would-be recruits) that Muhammad and his warriors spread Islam through the power of the sword and that the Koranis not merely allegory or history but literal Truth which commands all Muslims to action. Westerners from across the political spectrum will be fascinated and enlightened by The Al Qaeda Reader’s insights into the nature of Islamic texts and the ways in which Al Qaeda has used these texts to manufacture hatred against our civilization and our way of life.

Belgium: Dewinter insists on anti-Islam protest

BRUSSELS – Filip Dewinter (of far-right Vlaams Belang) says he will ignore the ban imposed by Brussels mayor Freddy Thielemans on a demonstration planned in Brussels for 11 September protesting the “growing Islamisation” of Europe.

Dewinter even calls Thielemans the “grand mufti of Brussels, who dances to the pipes of the radical Muslims.”

Protest against “Islamisation” banned

thielemans-m-krone-lille1.jpg


The organisation “Stop the Islamisation of Europe” (SIOE) had planned a protest in Brussels on 11 September to demonstrate against the rise of Islam in Europe. Dewinter had called on the public on Thursday to attend the event. But mayor Freddy Thielemans has since announced that he will ban the protest. Thielemans fears the event could lead to incidents between the protestors and the local ethnic population.

Despite the ban, Dewinter refuses to withdraw his urging that people attend the event. Dewinter also lashed out at Thielemans. “The fact that Thielemans was elected mayor by Islamic votes no doubt has everything to do with the ban,” Dewinter said.

* Indeed, it does. This mufti is deep in the Islamofascist pockets…

The Vlaams Belang leader said that the ban shows that “the Islamisation of Europe is fully underway and that the Europeans are no longer boss of their own territory in Brussels either.”

Canada: ‘Peace’ in English, ‘Fighting’ in Arabic

A billboard has suddenly appeared in Windsor, Ontario, openly supporting the genocidal radical Islamic terrorist group Hizballah, including a statement in English about “peace” and a statement in Arabic about “fighting.”

Members of the Jewish and Lebanese Christian communities in Windsor are outraged by the appearance of a billboard that appears to promote Hezbollah — an organization the Canadian government considers terrorist.

“That organization is banned in Canada,” said Harvey Kessler, executive director of the Windsor Jewish Community Centre. “How can that billboard be up in Windsor when it represents a terrorist organization which is banned under the laws of Canada?”

Egypt calls Wilders “racist”

Which ‘RACE’ is Islam again?

CAIRO (AFP) – A far-right Dutch MP who called for the Koran to be banned in the Netherlands is a racist and ignorant about Islam, an Egyptian official said on Thursday.

* Once again: Making sense and trying to protect your country makes you ‘racist’ and ‘far right’- Muslims and their red ratbag -foot soldiers in the West stop at nothing to discredit Wilders…

wilders__zijn_minis_426054b.jpg

MP Geert Wilders on Wednesday branded the Islamic holy book a “fascist” text that exhorts followers to kill and rape, saying it has “no place in our constitutional state.”

Egyptian foreign ministry spokesman Hussam Zaki said Wilders’ call “only demonstrates the racism of certain Western politicians.

It also reflects total ignorance of the contents of Islam and its precepts, applied by an overwhelming majority of Muslims around the world,” he added in a statement received by AFP.

* Only a Muslim can understand Islam. Kufar’s and apostate’s are ‘ignorant’- even if you studied the Koran for 20 years….

The Dutch government swiftly condemned Wilders’ remarks as damaging for community relations in the Netherlands, and said the proposal was unworthy of consideration.

“It has to be perfectly clear that banning the Koran in the Netherlands is not up for discussion for this government and will not be up for discussion in future. We have freedom of religion here,” Integration Minister Ella Vogelaar said in a statement.

The outspoken Wilders lives under police-protection 24/7. Vogelaar doesn’t have that problem. Treason pays dividends…

Wilders, who heads the far right Freedom Party which has nine of the 150 seats in Parliament, argued for the ban in a letter published in the De Volkskrant newspaper.

Hizb ut-Tahrir managed to fill the Gelora Bung Karno stadium

*

Almost like the Nuremberg rallies…

The dull roars of a football match, the twanging music of a youth group concert – from a distance it is not always easy to tell an Islamic conference from a holiday crowd.
Inside Jakarta’s Gelora Bung Karno stadium the clues get easier. There are about 100,000 people inside, and everyone is in Islamic dress.

The women’s section – by far the biggest – is a pitter-patter of ice-cream colours. On their parasols, one word is printed over and over again: Khilafah, caliphate.

This is the reason why people have come here. To show their support for a single, unified, Islamic state.

Maybe I chose Hizb ut-Tahrir because it unites the masses better than other Islamic organisation
Yani, Hizb ut-Tahrir member
They have been invited by the international Islamist group, Hizb ut-Tahrir. Not everyone believed they would fill the stadium, but Hizb ut-Tahrir is good at bringing in supporters – and keeping them.
Milling around outside the stadium we found 24-year-old Akbar.

He was not a member of Hizb ut-Tahrir, but he said: “This conference is not just for one group. In my opinion, if you support there being sharia law in Indonesia, you’ve got to be here.”

Yani, a student from Bogor, said she had come to show there was support for Islam, and support for a Caliphate too.

Next to her, Wisnu told us she was there to increase ties with other Muslims.
“Maybe I chose Hizb ut-Tahrir because it unites the masses better than other Islamic organisations,” she said.

But if the audience turnout was impressive, not so the speakers lined up to address the crowd.

One by one, over the past few days, seven of the delegates invited to speak have dropped out.

Hizb ut-Tarhir, a Sunni organisation with an estimated one million members, is banned in some Asian and Arab countries, but drew supporters from Europe, Africa and the Middle East to Indonesia for a meeting of the group that is held every two years.

However, Sheikh Ismail Al Wahwah, of the group’s Australian branch, was one of two international speakers prevented by Indonesian authorities from entering the country to attend today’s huge conference.

Speeches called for the return of the caliphate, or Islamic statehood, across the Muslim world. The crowd, divided into sections for women and men, roared in support.

“Reduce the size of the clitoris but do not exceed the limit, for that is better for her health and is preferred by husbands”

* Like ‘there is no compulsion in religion’ (except when there is) the horrific and insane practice of female genital mutilation continues, despite the lies and denial to the contrary and the recent fatwa by sheik Gomaa from Al Azhar university in Cairo, a hotbed of Islamofascist indoctrination. Sheik Gomaa became world famous by declaring that ‘drinking the prophets urine cured the believers…’

* Here is the ‘legal Islamic ruling’ from ‘Islam Online’

The eminent Muslim scholar, Sheikh Yusuf Al-Qaradawi, states:

Actually, this is a controversial issue among jurists and even among doctors. It has sparked off fierce debate in Egypt whereby scholars and doctors are split into proponents and opponents.

However, the most moderate opinion and the most likely one to be correct is in favor of practicing circumcision in the moderate Islamic way indicated in some of the Prophet’s hadiths – even though such hadiths are not confirmed to be authentic. It is reported that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said to a midwife: “Reduce the size of the clitoris but do not exceed the limit, for that is better for her health and is preferred by husbands”. The hadith indicates that circumcision is better for a woman’s health and it enhances her conjugal relation with her husband. It’s noteworthy that the Prophet’s saying “do not exceed the limit” means do not totally remove the clitoris.

*

Because of the above, the practice continues. Quite obviously, there are are many who ‘exceed the limits’- as we can see here:

Egyptian girl dies during female circumcision

AFP/File Photo: A young woman walks past a campaign banner against female genital mutilation (FGM)
Karima Rahim Massud died as the result of problems with the anasthaesia in the Nile Delta village of Gharbiya. Her death was discovered after her father sought a death certificate from another doctor.

The medical practice where the operation took place has been closed, and the doctor is being interrogated, the newspaper said.

Female genital mutilation, also known as female circumcision, is a practice that dates back to pharaonic times in Egypt. It is common in a band that stretches from Senegal in West Africa to Somalia on the east coast, and from Egypt in the north to Tanzania in the south.

The practice, which affects both Muslim and Christian women in Egypt, was banned in 1997 but doctors were allowed to operate “in exceptional cases.”

Female circumcision can cause death through haemorraging and later complications during childbirth. It also carries risks of infection, urinary tract problems and mental trauma.

In June, following the death of 12-year-old Bedur Ahmed Shaker, Health Minister Hatem al-Gabali issued a decree banning every doctor and member of the medical profession from performing the procedure.

The ban must still be translated into law and could face a tough debate in parliament, but is likely to be passed.

A government survey in 2000 said the practice was carried out on 97 percent of the country’s women aged between 15 and 45 years of age.

Religious leaders, usually silent on taboos relating to female sexuality, have also started to speak out against the practice, which many Egyptians believe is a duty under Islam and Christianity.

After the death of Shaker, chief mufti Ali Gomaa declared female circumcision forbidden under Islam.

Mohammed Sayyed Tantawi, the sheikh of Al-Azhar university, the top Sunni Muslim authority, and Coptic Patriarch Chenouda III also declared it had “no foundation in the religious texts” of either Islam or Christianity.

*

Tantawi is lying:

Tantawi doesn’t   mention the fact that his own Shafi’i school of Islamic jurisprudence has traditionally viewed female genital mutilation as “obligatory” (cf. ‘Umdat al-Salik e4.3) — which is one key reason why it is so widely practiced in Egypt.
