The Remarkable Ayad Jamal Al-Din Tells The Truth About Islam, Calling It The “Fiqh”

Hugh Fitzgerald

He’s a Shiite cleric and former Iraqi MP. He insists on telling as much of the truth about Islam as he can without beijng accused of apostasy (for all I know, by now he may well have given up Islam, but for many reasons, he chooses to present himself still as a Muslim, trying to save not Islam, but the Muslim peoples from Islam itself). He focusses on “fiqh” – his synecoche for Islam. And he makes clear the world-wide support for ISIS, from Muslims who from every country where there are large numbers of them clamor to join, and he mentions the “thousands” or “perhaps many more” mosques that actively encourage Believers to support ISIS. He repeatedly says that both the Sunni and the Shiite fiqh support the killing of the Yazidis; both the Sunni and the Shiite fiqh support violence. Only at one point, when the fearful moderator of the program, needing to make sure the program does not get out of hand by too much truth-telling, asks him if he believes Islam itself is a religion of “tolerance and peace” does Ayad Jamal Al-Din say, with deep insincerity, yes, he does, but for 1400 years, it is not the true Islam but the distorting and dangerous fiqh that has manipulated and directed Muslim minds.

This is one of the most instructive of the videos that MEMRI, that indispensable organization and website, has recorded, translated, disseminated. Would that many see it.

Former Iraqi MP Ayad Jamal Al-Din: A Civil State Is the Only Solution to Combat ISIS

In a recent TV interview, former Iraqi MP Ayad Jamal Al-Din called for the establishment of a civil state in Iraq based on man-made law and equality, rather than on Islamic jurisprudence, as the only way to combat ISIS. He further said that there were thousands of mosques in the U.S. and worldwide that incited and prepared people to join ISIS. “Islam has been politicized and is used as a sword,” he said in the Al-Iraqiya TV interview, which aired on October 17, 2014.

Aussie Katzenjammer

UN report to state Australia is in breach of international torture convention

The UN is controlled by the OIC, the block of 56 Muslim nations. “International law” means sharia. The focus on Australia and the accusations should be rejected out of hand. We will see if our leaders have what it takes to stand their ground.

An independent expert has found aspects of Australia’s asylum-seeker policies have breached the United Nations Convention Against Torture.

There is no such thing as an “independent expert” in these cases. All of this is driven by special interest groups.

A report addressing concerns about Manus Island, as well as recent amendments to maritime laws, is due to be submitted to the UN Human Rights Council today.

It was prepared by Juan Mendez, the UN special rapporteur on torture.

Human Rights Law Centre director of legal advocacy Daniel Webb says the report finds detention of asylum seekers on Manus Island, and conditions at the centre, violate the convention.–(SMH)

Most Muslims polled for large-scale community study say terror groups such as Isis distort real meaning of Islam

Lies,  BS and the usual victimhood idiocy from the Religion of Peace. But Aussies are not buying any, as you can see in the comments:

Muslim Australians believe overwhelmingly that they are unfairly targeted by counter-terrorism laws but say terrorist groups distort the true meaning of Islam, a survey of community attitudes has revealed.

Around one in five of the 800 Muslims polled believed that terrorist groups sometimes have legitimate grievances, the survey found, hinting at the delicate task Australian community leaders face in countering the propaganda war waged by groups such as Islamic State.

The researchers, including University of Queensland criminologist Adrian Cherney, said the findings showed that police, especially those in Sydney, needed to do more to build trust and a willingness to cooperate among Muslim communities.

The study involved focus groups and surveys of Muslim Australians from a range of backgrounds, including Pakistanis, Syrians, Indonesians and South Africans. The participants were evenly split by gender and ranged in age.

Close to 75% believed that counter-terrorism laws – of which 64 separate pieces have been passed since the September 11 attacks – were unfairly aimed at Muslims.

Though few had ever come into contact with these measures, the sense of being “under siege” was felt by a majority. Nearly half said they consciously changed the way they dressed to avoid scrutiny. Almost as many said they avoided certain mosques and a significant number said their travel, too, was altered.-More from the Guardian

Islam’s Doctrine Of “Expansion And Conquest”

The Islamic Way

by Burak Bekdil, Gatestone Institute

“Expansion and conquest” make one of the pillars of the Islamist doctrine. For that reason, it requires, and overtly or covertly struggles for, expanding “rights” in non-Muslim countries.

It is simply futile to expect Islamists to demonstrate a crumb of the tolerance they demand of non-Muslim nations.

Islamists often do not hide it: They love head-count democracy in lands where they make a majority; and hate it in lands where they are in the minority. They would crush other faiths, including different sects and practices of their own faith — or no faith, for that matter — where they are in power.

In that happy set-up, the intriguing word “tolerance” is nowhere to be seen. Respect for the minority is too rare a commodity: “This is our land, we are in the majority, we rule and we rule it as we wish; and if you don’t like it, go to hell.”

Surprisingly (or maybe not), Islamists happen to become dedicated warriors of tolerance, religious freedoms, human rights and all other fancy tags when they live (in their choice of) Muslim-minority countries. Just imagine what could happen if 1.5 million Israelis lived in the Gaza Strip bordering a militarily, economically and technologically mighty, larger, more populous Hamas-ruled Palestinian state with a Jewish minority. Tolerance and rights for the Jews? Would you want to be a Jew there?

Naturally, the Islamist Turkish mind is not programmed to think differently from: “Let’s crush the infidels at home and seek broader rights for Muslims in non-Muslim lands in Europe, America and Asia.” Pluralism, to their way of thinking, should be the respected norm — where Muslims are in the minority. The latest Austrian law regulating Islamic practice is no exception to the Islamist’s golden rule.

The new Austrian law, passed on Feb. 25, aims at integrating Muslims and fighting Islamic radicalism by promoting an “Islam with an Austrian character.” It seeks to reduce outside meddling by prohibiting foreign funding for mosques, imams and Muslim organizations in Austria. It also stresses that Austrian law must take precedence over Islamic Sharia law for Muslims living in the country.

Mehmet Görmez (left), head of the Turkish government’s Religious Affairs Directorate, denounced Austria’s new “Islam Law” and said that Austria should instead “make an effort to remove anti-Islamic sentiments and Islamophobia.” Johann Rädler (right), speaking for the Austrian People’s Party, said the law “guarantees Muslims more rights, and on the other hand it serves to counteract undesirable developments.”

UK police told not to investigate Muslim rape gangs

As they say: the fish rots from the head down. There are people in high places in the UK who have no interest that this horrific scandal is properly dealt with. (JW)

Muslimrapegang1,400 British non-Muslim children were gang-raped and brutalized by Muslims in one city alone, and “several staff described their nervousness about identifying the ethnic origins of perpetrators for fear of being thought as racist; others remembered clear direction from their managers not to do so.”

And here we see police bosses telling officers not to pursue investigations of these rape gangs. The Muslim rape gangs went unreported, unprosecuted, and in general unstopped because of far-Left organizations like Hope Not Hate, Faith Matters, and Tell Mama, which waged relentless war against anyone and everyone who spoke out about these issue. They demonized as “Islamophobic,” “hateful” and “bigoted” anyone who said that there were Muslim rape gangs at all, and that they had to be stopped. They led the campaign to ban Pamela Geller and me from entering the country, when one of the events we had discussed going to was a rally against the rape gangs.Search for “grooming” (these gangs are usually called “grooming gangs” in the British media) at Hope Not Hate’s site, and you will see that the vast majority of the articles mentioning this practice are attacking those who are calling attention to it and protesting against it.

But the real problem is “Islamophobia”

No Justice For Rochdale Girls

Not a single police officer will be disciplined over failure to investigate Rochdale sex gangs who abused hundreds of young girls over six years

Update:

UK: Police told not to pursue Muslim child rape gangs “told to wind necks in” – Pamela Geller

The silent conspiracy continues, despite the blockbuster revelations (and the public’s ensuing outrage) that law enforcement did not pursue this epidemic of rape jihad for fear of being labeled “islamophobic.”
Policemen turned a blind eye to Muslim child sex trafficking, gang-rape etc., for fear of being called racist-islamophobic-anti-Muslim-bigots despite the victims pleas for help.

Thousands of non-Muslim teen and tween girls beaten, raped, trafficked like meat.

Wind your neck = Don’t look where you’re not supposed to (i.e. — “Don’t stare,” or “Don’t rubberneck!”).
Urban Dictionary describes “wind your neck”  this way “given as advice to someone you you’d like to sit down and shut up, whilst also pointing out that they are wrong.”

  • Seven police officers were served with misconduct notices over scandal
  • Six were given ‘management advice’ and one was allowed to retire 
  • Police failed to properly investigate the abuse and support the victims
  • Hundreds of young girls were abused by predominantly-Pakistani gangs
  • Nine men were jailed but victims say abusers are still walking free 

No police officers will be disciplined despite failing to properly investigate the systematic rape and abuse of young girls in Rochdale, it was revealed today.

Seven Greater Manchester Police officers were served with misconduct notices but after a four year investigation six were given ‘management advice’ and one was allowed to retire.

The Rochdale scandal saw hundreds of vulnerable young girls fall into the hands of Asian Muslim grooming gangs because the authorities failed to protect them over at least six years.

In 2012 nine Asian men Bangladeshi Muslims were jailed for a total of 77 years for rape and trafficking after they preyed on girls as young as 13, plying them with drugs, alcohol and money before passing them round the group for sex.

No further action: Seven police officers who were served with misconduct notices over the abuse scandal in Rochdale (pictured), will not face disciplinary action

A subsequent report said the girls were allowed to fall into the hands of Pakistani grooming gangs because police and social workers may have been scared of seeming racist.

It sparked an investigation conducted by the force’s professional standards branch, and supervised by the Independent Police Complaints Commission (IPCC), which today highlights a number of significant failures.

“The profit of Islam didn’t say blow people up, he only said terrorise them…”

That’s because he didn’t have any explosives.

At least 50 people were reportedly hurt in two bomb blasts at the Catholic Church and Christ Church in the city’s Youhanabad area.

Imam of Leeds Makkah Mosque, Qari Asim MBE, condemned the attacks and said the terrorists do not “represent any faith”.

Such violent actions are far removed from the teachings of Islam and the practice of the Prophet of Islam (may Allah’s peace and blessings be upon him). …

The imam’s been saying this for 1400 years. (Thanks to Mullah, pbuh)

Italy seeks to block regional “anti-mosque law”

Rome (AFP) – The Italian government has moved to block new building regulations for Lombardy which would make it virtually impossible to build any new mosques in the northern region, officials said Friday.

The regulations, which have become known as the “anti-mosque” law, were approved by the right-wing dominated regional council at the end of January.

Amid an outcry over what critics see as a blatantly discriminatory move, Prime Minister Matteo Renzi’s centre-left government has decided to refer the new rules to the Constitutional Court for review.

The dogs of Malaysia

Malaysian Muslims were made to believe (or rather brainwashed) that dog fur and saliva are unclean, and touching them are as dirty as touching sh*t.

When Malaysian Muslims are trying to break out from their cocoons of mental imprisonment the clerics spring into action, as we can see here:
Malaysia-I-Want-To-Touch-A-Dog-Event-Muslim-Girl-Happily-Carrying-A-Dog1

Hugh Fitzgerald

In Malaysia there is now a Muslim-only furor over a photograph of a Muslim (hijabbed) girl holding  a puppy. The usual calls for her punishment, and so on. Why? Because dogs are haram in Islam, objects  of hysteria and hate, except in limited circumstances when they may be used as guard dogs. It’s as with sports — participation in most sports is haram, save for those that can be connected to preparing oneself for battle, or Jihad. Thus wrestling and archery are okay, but tennis, swimming, and basketball are not.

A full discussion of dogs in Islam can be found here.

Now you may be prompted to ask: why is there this hatred for dogs? It comes not from the Qur’an, but from the Hadith, also called the Traditions, that is the written stories about what Muhammad said and what he did, of which there were many tens of thousands, but they were collected, and winnowed according to degrees of assigned authenticity, by scholars of the Hadith, or muhaddithin.That “authenticity” depends on study of the chain of transmission — the isnad-chain — by which a story, or hadith, can be traced back, as close as possible, to the time of Muhammad himself. Thus if F was told a particular hadith by E who in turn heard it from D who heard it from C who heard it from B who heard it from A, and A lived at the time of Muhammad, that is adduced as evidence for assigning the highest degree of authenticity. Some Hadith possess such an isnad-chain, but many do not. Some may have a missing link in the isnad-chain, or cannot be traced back to the time of Muhammad. Non-Muslims may dismiss all this as nonsensical, because so many of the Hadith are surely just the natural accretions of time, made up by imaginative believers who were indulging themselves. Muslims, not inclined to give an inch on  the matter, refuse even to contemplate the notion of subjecting early Islam to historical study and critical analysis, as Christianity and Judaism have been.

More from the people who called the Muslim Brotherhood “largely secular…”

Obama apparatchik John Brennan is a Muslim convert, befuddled with the “majesty of the hajj”.  Do you believe he knows more than  the caliph Ibrahim, Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, who has a PhD in Islamic Studies?
Brennan“CIA Director John Brennan at an event Friday warned against ascribing “Islamic legitimacy” to the overseas terrorist group, saying that allowing them to identify themselves with Islam does a disservice to Muslims around the world.” The fallacious assumption here is that Muslims around the world are looking to non-Muslims in the West to show them what is legitimately Islamic and what isn’t. That is simply not the case. The “best of people” (Qur’an 3:110) don’t derive their legitimacy from the opinions of the “most vile of created beings” (Qur’an 98:6).

“CIA director on ISIS: They aren’t Muslims – they’re ‘psychopathic thugs,’” by Reena Flores, CBS News, March 13, 2015:

Call them “psychopathic thugs” or “murderers,” but don’t call the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS) Muslims.

Imam Syed Soharwardy and 37 other Muslim leaders from Canuckistan have issued an Islamic edict called a fatwa against the militant group currently trying to attract supporters to its war in Syria and Iraq.

Soharwardy, the founder of the Islamic Supreme Council of Canada, said Wednesday the Islamic State is violating Muslim law. As a result, the group and anyone supporting them, will no longer be considered to be Muslim.

“They have been excommunicated from the Muslim community and those who will join them — they should be excommunicated from the Muslim community and they cannot be considered as Muslims at all,” said Soharwardy.

There is no such thing as “excommunication” in Islam. Soharwardy is lying.
