Tearful imam Tawhidi blames religion for radicalization

Say what you want about imam Tawhidi, he keeps saying things we don’t hear from anyone else in the Muslim quarter. Whatever his motives are,  there is much truth in what he says. And what he says can get him killed. True believers are rather unforgiving to renegades like him.

A tearful Muslim imam blamed Islam on Tuesday for radicalizing an Australian doctor who is known as “Dr. Jihad.”

“I can’t blame him — it’s my religion. I can’t blame it on education, because he’s had the best education. So I have to blame it on religion,” imam Mohammed Tawhidi told Australia’s 7 News of Tareq Kamleh, a doctor who fled to Syria in 2015 and has since joined the Islamic State.

Tawhidi’s comments came on the heels of a new ISIS propaganda video featuring Kamleh. In the video, the radicalized doctor claims “we love death more than you love life” and asserted that Muslims who don’t join the Islamic State “have no self respect.”

After seeing the video, the imam was moved to tears when he was asked if he had a message for Kamleh. At that moment, Tawhidi said he has to “blame” the young pediatrician’s radicalization “on religion.” The imam, still emotional, told the broadcaster he was “shocked” by the question.

Since joining the Islamic State, Kamleh has assumed the Islamic name Abu Yousef al-Australi. He addressed President Donald Trump in the video, too, saying the radicals are happy U.S. troops are near Syria because they are “really eagerly awaiting your attempt to enter our cities.”

Because of his willingness to speak out against radicalized Islam, Tawhidi has become a target.

According to a report from Daily Mail Australia, Tawhidi, who has denounced Sharia law, has requested $30,000 to pay for security guards to keep him safe.

“I’ve been assaulted by Muslim leaders, ambushed and spat on in the streets,” he said.

Tawhidi is no stranger to controversy. He sparked criticism earlier this year when he reportedly said he moved to Australia “because it was a non-Muslim country.”

“If we knew after 30 years we are going to have burqas running around and mosques being erected on every corner and people proposing Sharia law against democracy in this country,” Tawhidi said, “we wouldn’t have come.”

Australia: The Madness Continues

by Judith Bergman/Gatestone institute

  • “While terrorism’s origins have many factors, Islamic terrorists, as heinous as their acts are, they are often merely doing what the scriptures are telling them.” — Tanveer Ahmed, Muslim psychiatrist.
  • In Australia, according to judges, women and children must accept sexual assaults because it is part of the “Islamic culture” of their attackers. It would seem that in parts of Australia, this “Islamic culture” has replaced the rule of law. None of the above, however, seems to be enough to appease Muslim sentiments. In March, Anne Aly, Australia’s first female Muslim MP, said that racial-discrimination laws should be expanded to cover insults based on religion as well.
  • In March, a teacher at Punchbowl Primary School quit her job after she and her family received death threats from the children in the school, with some of them saying they would behead her. The teacher’s complaints to the New South Wales Department of Education were dismissed.

During the month of Ramadan alone, the world witnessed 160 Islamic attacks in 29 countries, in which 1627 people were murdered and 1824 injured. Nevertheless, the dual efforts to deny any links between Islamic terrorism and Islam on the one hand, and the efforts to accommodate Islam to the greatest extent possible on the other, seem to continue unaffected by the realities of Islamic terrorism — in Australia, as well, which is experiencing its own share of sharia and jihad.

At the end of May, the Public Health Association of Australia (PHAA) called on the Australian Parliament’s Joint Standing Committee on Foreign Affairs, Defence and Trade to:

“…include a recommendation in its report that disavows the notion that there is any inherent link between Islam and terrorism… The Committee should condemn any politician who refers divisively (expressly or implied) to any religious or ethnic group for the purpose of political gain.”

PHAA Chief Executive Michael Moore said that there is no inherent link between any religion and acts of terror:

“When you look at terrorism and the IRA, I don’t think many people blamed Christianity for terrorism when clearly there was an overlay. In fact there’s nothing ­inherent in Christianity that links to terrorism”.

Since when are public health officials qualified to make authoritative statements on the theology of Islam or its linkage to Islamic terrorism?

Hugh Fitzgerald: “Learn Islam From Its Source” (Part II)

“Learn Islam From Its Source” (Part I) is here.

Print it out, take notes and prepare yourself for the next “interfaith- misconception dispelling” and “anti-racism” event at your local mosque. Your imam will appreciate it.

You can be sure that the Muslims teaching about the Qur’an will eagerly quote 5:32 and be careful, at the same time, to avoid quoting the verse that follows, 5:33, that glosses 5:32 and gives it its sense. Another favorite Qur’anic verse that the apologists like to quote is 2:256: “there is no compulsion in religion.” That sounds straightforward, and non-Muslims will be expected to take it at face value. But a little thought about the matter will lead to quite a different conclusion. Non-Muslims are not strictly “compelled” — this is the Muslim view –to give up their religions and convert to Islam. They have a “choice” — so supposedly no “compulsion” — either to convert to Islam, to be killed, or to live as dhimmis under Muslim rule. As dhimmis, they must pay the Jizyah (a capitation tax on non-Muslims) to the Muslim state, and will also be subject to a host of lesser disabilities: displaying identifying marks on both their dress and dwelling; riding donkeys rather than horses; stepping aside on footpaths so as always to yield the right of way to Muslims. Isn’t this seeming “choice” really a form of “compulsion”? In order to avoid either death, or being forced to pay the Jizyah and observe other requirements made on dhimmis, all of which are daily reminders of their well-deserved humiliation, the only way out was to convert to Islam. While some Christians and Jews paid the Jizyah, others, over time, in order to free themselves of this onerous tax, converted to Islam. Any fair-minded person would describe that as “compulsion.”

And what about Muslims themselves? Muslims were not free to choose a religion other than Islam. The punishment for Muslims who wish to leave Islam — that is, to be apostates — has always been death. That too, sounds a lot like “compulsion in religion.” If you have ever wondered about how the handful of well-known apostates from Islam — e.g., Ayaan Hirsi Ali, Ibn Warraq — have managed to survive, the answer is simple: they now have the security of living in the advanced West. But they don’t dare travel back to the Muslim countries they came from, and they know all too well what the phrase “there is no compulsion in religion” actually amounts to in Islam — that is, to nothing.

Malek Fahd Islamic School to remain open after judge orders Government to restore funds

Are we governed by an unaccountable judiciary or by an irresponsible government?

Malek Fahd Islamic School to remain open after judge orders Government to restore funds

AUSTRALIA’S largest Islamic school will remain open after a Federal Court judge ordered the Federal Government to no longer withhold funding.

Malek Fahd Islamic School, which has about 2400 students and 250 teachers spread over three campuses at Greenacre, Hoxton Park and Beaumont Hills, was in danger of closing after the Federal Government told the school in April it would stop making monthly payments citing concerns over its governance, restructuring, and transparency.

Judge John Edward Griffiths today ordered the month-by-month funding be restored and back-paid to April.

This means the school will receive about $6.5 million as a result of today’s court ruling.

Update:

The islamically correct ABC waters it down, as usual:

Soddy Barbaria funding Islamic terrorism in Britain & elsewhere

Saudi Arabia ‘is undoubtedly at the top of the list’ of countries funding Islamist terrorism in Britain, claims report
  • Several gulf states ‘intentionally’ exporting Islamic extremism to UK, report says
  • This is done through grants to mosques and education funding, authors claim
  • Saudi Arabia ‘is undoubtedly at the top of the list’ of countries funding efforts
  • Henry Jackson Society is calling for full and open public inquiry into the issue 

Saudi Arabia is ‘at the top of the list’ of countries exporting extremist Islam to the UK, a new report says.

Why do we need a ‘new report’ when we all knew this for a long time?

The kingdom has engaged in a 60-year, multi-million dollar campaign to advance its extremist brand of Wahhabi Islam in British Muslim communities, according to a study by the Henry Jackson Society.

This has been achieved through endowment grants to mosques, the funding of Islamic education institutions and the training of imams, the report authors say.

Saudi Arabia is 'at the top of the list' of several Gulf states engaged in an 'intentional and systematic' policy of exporting extremist ideology to the West, a new report claims

  • Haleema Butt, 28, got a job working at Heathrow two months before attack
  • Khuram, 27, massacred revellers last month – killing eight and injuring more
  • Her husband, Usman Darr, who also worked on security, was suspended as well 
  • The mother-of-two has now been sacked after an internal investigation 
  • There is no suggestion Haleema Butt or husband Usman Darr are extremists 

The London Bridge terror attack mastermind Khuram Butt’s sister has been sacked from Heathrow after being suspended over security fears.

Haleema Butt, 28, got a job working at Britain’s biggest airport two months before her brother, 27, massacred revellers last month – killing eight and injuring dozens more.

Her husband was also suspended from his job at the airport. There is no suggestion Haleema or her husband Usman Darr are extremists or knew what Butt was planning.

Heathrow have declined to release details of the security checks its staff undergo, although for similar roles in the police, the history of applicants’ family and friends is reviewed.

Channel 7 removes ‘hateful’ poll over Yassmin Abdel-Magied’s decision to leave the country

Who guessed it? Islamo supremacist & Hizbut adherent Yassmin Abdel-Magied is now a victim of “prejudice and discrimination”.

CHANNEL 7’s digital arm has “unreservedly” apologised for publishing a now removed Facebook poll asking followers to vote on whether the Muslim activist Yassmin Abdel-Magied should leave the country or “face her critics”.

The poll, posted on the 7 News Australia Facebook page, was slammed by followers and commentators for inciting racist discussion and bullying, and Ms Abdel-Magied herself said it invited “prejudice and discrimination”.

After being questioned by news.com.au, the station removed the poll from and admitted it “should never have been posted”.

Yahoo7, which administers the 7 News Australia Facebook page along together with Seven News, has since taken responsibility for the post.

The Facebook post published Tuesday asked followers to comment on Ms Magied’s decision to leave Australia. The controversial television presenter and commentator recently announced she was moving to London after being “traumatised” over facing what she described as “deeply racist” criticism.

The engineer-turned-media personality has been constantly criticised since posting an insensitive comment on Anzac Day which she removed from her page.

Seven’s post shared the news that Ms Abdel-Magied had announced she was leaving Australia and posed the question: “Do you support her decision to move to London or do you think she should stay and face her critics?”

The post attracted more than 1600 comments and 17,500 votes, according to Facebook.

“The media witch-hunt of Yassmin Abdel-Magied is a sad reflection of what we do to people who express opinion in our country.”

WHY MUSLIMS HATE ME

“I studied the Quran a great deal. I came away from that study with the conviction there have been few religions in the world as deadly to men as that of Muhammad.”

-Alexis de Toqueville

Islam and the Left

During my college talks, I’m often asked what arguments to use when debating with the regressive Left. I always have the same answer: Islam.

Dr Jihad urges Muslims to wage jihad in the Middle-East or Western nations

…and he doesn’t mean ‘inner struggle’ either:

Australian Doctor appears in new ISIS video

Australian doctor Tareq Kamleh calls for violence in new ISIS video

ADELAIDE-TRAINED doctor turned Islamic State propagandist Tareq Kamleh has released a new video in which he wields a rifle as he calls for Muslims to fight in Iraq and Syria — or closer to home.

Kamleh — speaking from the group’s under-siege capital of Raqqa in Syria — has not been heard from since his last propaganda film in April 2015.

Tareq Kamleh travelled Australia to join IS and use his medical skills “as part of my jihad for Islam”.

The heavily bearded former paediatric doctor holds an assault rifle in the video as he urges Muslims to fight for their cause in the Middle-East or Western nations.

“It really surprises me of how the Muslim nation is acting at the moment and how stagnant you have become,” Kamleh says.

“We are under continuous bombing here and we are fighting hard to hold the lands of Islam, and hold that only the law of Allah is implemented in these lands.

“What more will it take for it to be justified cause for you to come here to fight for Allah’s sake? And if you can’t make a way to come and make hijrah, you can’t come here — jihad itself isn’t only in the lands of Syria or only in the lands of Iraq.”

An extract from Tareq Kamleh’s 2015 propaganda video

In mid-2015, Kamleh was exclusively interviewed by the Sunday Mail’sNathan Davies, and said “I made a very well educated and calculated decision to come here, it did not involve any brainwashing”.

“I have come here as there are locals suffering from normal medical conditions despite being surrounded by war, with an overt lack of qualified medical care. Is it not my humanitarian duty to help these children also, or only kids with white skin and blue passports,” he said.

Doctors who had studied with Kamleh at the University of Adelaide described him as a promiscuous party boy with a liking for crude pranks.

Also in 2015, heavily redacted court documents were released to The Advertiser by the Australian Federal Police and provided insight into the counter-terrorism case against Kamleh.

The papers accuse Kamleh of actively recruiting for ISIS by appearing in its propaganda material and breaching other federal anti-terror laws.

They allege his involvement with fundamentalist extremism began around the time he moved from Mackay, Queensland, to Perth in WA.

“Up until 2013, Kamleh was living a lifestyle not consistent with what would be described as a practising Muslim,” they assert.

Tareq Kamleh calls himself Abu Yusuf

The South Australian Joint Counter Terrorism Team obtained a warrant for Kamleh’s arrest during a closed-court hearing in 2015.

Issued jointly to the AFP and SA Police, the warrant authorises the doctor’s arrest on charges of:

MEMBERSHIP of a terrorist organisation, contrary to Section 102.3 of the Federal Criminal Code Act (1995).

RECRUITING for a terrorist organisation, contrary to Section 102.4 of the same act.

ENTERING or remaining in a declared area, contrary to Section 119.2 of the act.

Bodies Rot in Streets, over 100 Hostages Remain in Marawi as Islamic State Battle Continues

There is a way to do this, but it won’t be pretty. Duterte would have to be more cruel and more radical than the Mohammedans.  Looks like he hasn’t got what it takes.

The Philippine military has failed to significantly move forward in the battle to liberate Marawi, the nation’s only official “Islamic city,” from the Islamic State, as President Rodrigo Duterte marks his first year in office.

The Philippine Star cites eyewitness accounts from civilians and soldiers alike that Marawi appears nowhere near close to liberation.

Terrorists belonging to the Maute group and Abu Sayyaf, two Islamic State affiliates in the Philippines, attacked the city in early May, triggering a 60-day martial law order and an extensive military assault including both ground operations and airstrikes. “Scores of bodies are rotting in the area, and the stench mixes with the smell of gunpowder,” the Star notes.

“Lots of tension between the wives and the sex slaves….”

Horror of ISIS sex slave app: Virgins put on sale by twisted jihadis

SEX slaves are traded through an app by vile Islamic State (ISIS) fighters who swap pictures and prices of young Yazidi girls.

Turkey keeps ISIS wives separate for their safety ISIS sex slaves traded through mobile phone app which rates women and sells virgins

The wives of jihadis claim their husbands are “obsessed” with the women being held agains their will.One woman revealed her husband traded them through encrypted apps, selling them based in their looks .

She told an Arabic TV programme: “It was a market for sex slaves.

“They were sharing photos of the sex slaves with the best make-up and clothes, and asking $2,000 for this one, $3,000 for that one. A virgin cost $10,000.”

Some said the sex slaves were lavished with gifts including expensive lipstick and clothes – a far cry from the tales told by those captured by ISIS who are often shared between men, beaten and raped.

The brides of ISIS told their tales to reporter Jenan Moussa, claiming jealousy was rife.

An ISIS bride originally from Lebannon said: “There was a lot of tension between the wives and the sex slaves.

“Some of the wives even divorced their husbands because of that. They were spending too much on the sex slaves, buying them the best make-up, clothes and accessories.”

Women are fleeing to refugee camps as the battle against ISIS heads towards its self declared “capital” in Raqqa.The city is on the verge of being liberated by Western backed Iraqi and Kurdish forces.

Despite being cared for in refugee camps the wives of the jihadis showed little emotion over the atrocities committed in Syria.

One said: “ISIS deceived us with propaganda.”
