Journalist ‘insulted Islam’ when he distributed report questioning polygamy

Members of the Solidarity Party of Afghanistan march during a demonstration against the death sentence of Sayed Parwez Kaambakhsh in Kabul, Afghanistan, Thursday, Jan 31.

KABUL, Afghanistan – Conservative clerics and elders demanded Thursday that the Afghan government not interfere with a controversial death sentence handed down to a young journalist convicted of insulting Islam for distributing a report questioning polygamy.

Sayed Parwez Kaambakhsh, 23, was sentenced to death on Jan. 22 by a three-judge panel in the northern city of Mazar-i-Sharif for handing out a report he printed off the Internet to fellow journalism students at Balkh University.

The article questioned why men can have four wives but women cannot have multiple husbands.

*  Central Committee member of the ‘Worker-communist Party of Iran’  springs into action:

“Many have rightly come to his defence and must keep the pressure on. But to defend Parwiz by saying he did not ‘intend’ to blaspheme misses the entire point. This is exactly what the likes of the Muslim Council of Britain say in order to conceal the responsibility of their political Islamic movement. For example, the MCB ‘greeted’ the release of Gillian Gibbons (the British schoolteacher who was imprisoned in Sudan for allowing her 7 year old students to name their class teddy bear Mohammad) by saying she had not ‘intended to deliberately insult the Islamic faith’.

“What they are basically saying is that victims and their ‘intentions’ are to blame for the injustices and barbarity of Islamic law. Moreover, they are implying that if someone knew they were blaspheming, or if their actions or statements were so clearly blasphemous that they should have known better, then the death penalty or calls for their death are permissible – or at the very least understandable. The smokescreen of ‘intent’ aims to conceal the real issue at hand, which is Islam in power….”

‘To each his own’- sez Mister Tolerance, The Archbishop of Canterbury

Rowan Williams, Archbishop of Canterbury, was previously bestowed with the honor of being named ‘Asshole of the month’ on this blog.

*

Willams said giving sharia official status in the UK would help maintain social cohesion because some Muslims do not relate to the British legal system.
Its introduction would mean Muslims would no longer have to choose between “the stark alternatives of cultural loyalty or state loyalty”.

His comments were strongly criticised by the National Secular Society but welcomed by the Muslim Council of Britain (MCB), which stressed it did not back the introduction of sharia criminal law.

Anger Outrage as Muslim scholar denied visa for Britain

Twenty members of parliament’s lower House of Commons signed a motion expressing “grave concern” at the prospect of Qaradawi being granted a visa.
A Home Office spokesman said: “We can confirm that al-Qaradawi has been refused a visa to visit the UK.

The UK will not tolerate the presence of those who seek to justify any acts of terrorist violence or express views that could foster inter-community violence.”

*
The move was welcomed by the Community Security Trust, an organisation which works to prevent anti-Semitic attacks, as “brave and correct”.
“There were many different communities that were very unhappy at the idea of Qaradawi returning to Britain,” said Mark Gardner, its director of communications.
“His continued support for jihad against British troops in Iraq and Afghanistan is just one example of his dangerous extremism.”

*

But the Home Office’s decision was sharply criticised by the Muslim Council of Britain, an umbrella group seen as ‘moderate’.

Qaradawi has been banned from entering the United States since 1999.

Cordoba’s cathedral was once a mosque

Will UNESCO give the Muslims in Spain what they want? They’re more likely to do so than the Vatican. In any case, there are innumerable churches all over the Islamic world that have been turned into mosques, and we never hear about them. No one is agitating in Constantinople for the Hagia Sophia to be opened again for public Christian prayer, or in Damascus for the Umayyad Mosque, built atop a demolished church dedicated to St. John the Baptist, to be opened to Christians. Now, why is that?

“Islam: Appeal To UNESCO For Shared Use Of Cordoba Mosque,” from ANSAmed

(ANSAmed) – MADRID, FEBRUARY 6 – The Islamic council does not give up its claim to use the cathedral mosque of Cordoba for Muslim prayer and appeals to UNESCO to pronounce on the use of the temple which is part of the heritage of humanity. The president of the Islamic council, Mansur Escudero, in statements published by the media called for intervention on the part of the UN organisation. “Since the cathedral is part of the heritage of humanity, UNESCO should pronounce or present a report, the way it has done with other monuments,” Escudero said. According to the Islamic council leader, the shared use of the cathedral in Cordoba for Catholic and Muslim rite “will play an important role in the alliance of civilisations” because “temples should be open to all believers, Muslim, Catholic and all other religions”.

* ‘Humanity’ means Muslims only…

* ‘Alliance of civilizations’ no such thing: Islam is not a civilization. 

For more than 20 years the Islamic council has claimed the shared use of the mosque-cathedral and, in 2004, it filed a formal proposal with the Holy See. The archbishop of Cordoba has always refused to open the doors of the temple to Muslim prayer.(ANSAmed).
“Temples should be open to all believers…” Fine.  Lets open the mosques for the Buddhists, the Hindu’s, the Methodists, the  Zaroastrians….

Spain shuns Muslim plea 

*

* Guess he needs to get his hemorrhoids treated with zam-zam water in that case. But not to worry: he can always count on the French…

Qaradawi said neo-cons and the Zionist lobby were stronger than Home and Foreign Office officials who supported his visa.

*

CAIRO — Prominent Muslim scholar Sheikh Yusuf al-Qaradawi has been denied a visa to get medical treatment in Britain.
“The British Embassy in Doha earlier Wednesday sent a fax to Sheikh Qaradawi informing him that his visa application for treatment has been refused,” sources close to him told IslamOnline.net.

“The fax said the application contradicts with article 41 without specifying what the article said,” they added.

Sheikh Qaradawi, the president of the International Union for Muslim Scholars, had applied for a medical visa almost a year ago.

He was discharged from the Hamad hospital in the Qatari capital Doha on Saturday, November 24, 2007, after recovering from a minor vertebral column crack he endured from a slipped disc.

Because of his illness, Qaradawi, 81, had been absent from several Islamic gatherings, the latest of which was Al-Quds International Forum in Istanbul, Turkey, earlier the same month.

Late August, Qaradawi was hospitalized in Algeria after suffering from a stomach ulcer.

Influential Lobby

The prominent Muslim scholar said the British government was divided on the visa application.

“There were differences within the British government,” he told Al-Jazeera news channel late Wednesday over the phone from Cairo.

He said the Home and Foreign Offices were in favor of giving him the visa, adding that some Home Office officials visited him at his home.

“But the there the neo-conservatives, the Zionist lobby and some right-wing media outlets.”

* Yeah! Lets go out and catch some of them Zionist neo-con lobbyists!!

* Muslim group protests US Air Force Academy decision to invite speakers who blast Islam

DENVER: A Muslim advocacy group is decrying the U.S. Air Force Academy’s decision to invite three self-described former terrorists who the group said slam Islam with “hate-filled” rhetoric.

* Telling the truth about Islam is ‘hate speech’.

The D.C.-based Council on American-Islamic Relations said one of the speakers, Walid Shoebat, has said that “Islam is the devil.”

* He is not wrong.

Shoebat, Kamal Saleem and Zachariah Anani are scheduled to speak Wednesday at the 50th Annual Academy Assembly in Colorado Springs, where the topic of the four-day event is “Dismantling Terrorism.”

Shoebat has published an online autobiography describing his journey from membership in the Palestine Liberation Organization to Israeli sympathizer. Saleem also is a former member of the PLO, and Zak Anani describes himself as a former member of several Lebanese terrorist groups. The three appear together regularly.

Maj. Brett Ashworth, an Air Force Academy spokesman, defended the decision, saying the purpose of the event is “to educate future officers and delegates from 50 colleges on the ideology and methodology of terrorists” and the three men could provide valuable insight.

But Ibrahim Hooper, a spokesman for CAIR, said the men also denounce the Muslim faith.

“Islam is the devil? I mean c’mon!” Hooper said. “And these people are going to talk as experts to cadets who may possibly serve in parts of the Muslim world?”

* Awareness is the beginning of understanding…
Saleem, who said he quit the PLO in 1985 after converting to Christianity, said in a telephone interview there are always people who disagree with his views about Islam.

Others, he said, tell him, “Thank you for enlightening us.”

Hooper said the three speakers have triggered protests at speaking engagements throughout the country, and he told Air Force academy officials that inviting the men to speak about terrorism would be like “inviting David Duke to speak about race relations.”

* Islam is not a race, Hooper. You said it yourself: Islam is an ideology…

He said CAIR offered to connect the Air Force with Muslims in Colorado who also could speak at the event to balance the discussion. However, he said he was told the topic was terrorism, not religion.

* Hooper thinks CAIR has a right to shout dissent down or possibly assassinate them…
“The academy assembly has nothing to do with religion or evangelical Christianity for that matter,” Ashworth said. “This is not going to be a discussion on Islam. It’s a discussion on terrorism.”

* But Islam is based on terrorism. How do you separate one from the other?

Religion has been a sensitive topic at the Air Force Academy in the past. A group of cadet graduates had claimed the academy violated their rights, saying evangelical Christian values were forced onto them. They filed a lawsuit, which was dismissed in 2006 after a judge said they couldn’t claim their rights were violated because they no longer attended the academy.

An Air Force task force also concluded there was no religious discrimination at the Academy but noted some cadets and staff were insensitive. In February 2006, the Air Force adopted new guidelines cautioning top officers about promoting their religious views.

Update from the CAIR website:

Fibbi Hoopers propaganda machine spins like an Iranian centrifuge:

CAIR has offered to help academy officials find representatives of the
Colorado Muslim community who can offer a balancing perspective to what the Washington-based group calls the “hate-filled rhetoric” of the invited
speakers. (Assembly organizers have not yet responded to that offer or to
the information provided about the Islamophobic views of the speakers.)

* Ex-Muslims & terrorists tell the truth about Islam, and Hooper goes into damage control mode…

In past events, the three self-styled “ex-terrorists” made bigoted And
inaccurate statements about Islam and Muslims. They told one California
university audience that Americans need to “wake up to the dangerous
realities of the Islamic faith.”

Awright, then, Fibbi: explain whats ‘bigotted and inacurate’- and don’t tell us no fibb….

A video that shows young boys being trained in kidnapping and assassination was discovered during a raid on an al-Qaeda safe house in Iraq, the U.S. military said Tuesday.
The video shows about 20 boys wearing ski masks and carrying pistols, assault rifles and rocket-propelled grenade launchers. In some cases the weapons appear to dwarf the youngsters carrying them.

Excerpts, which were viewed by USA TODAY, appear to show the boys running through training exercises under the supervision of trainers, said Rear Adm. Gregory Smith, spokesman for the coalition command in Iraq. Portions of the video, the content of which could not be independently verified, will be released publicly today.

An analysis of the video provided by the U.S. command in Baghdad said the boys were proclaiming allegiance to al-Qaeda.

The tape was found among other al-Qaeda material uncovered during a raid north of Baghdad on Dec. 4, Smith said.

 UC-Berkeley: Don’t ever compromise on Islam! 

No ‘Moderates’ here, or anywhere… 

 * Insanity is all the rage in this hotbed of higher learning:

MSA held their 2007 West Zone Conference in April 2007 at UC-Berkeley. Amir Mertaban, the president of MSA West, gave a speech entitled “Methods of Da’wah.” In his speech, Mertaban said the following of Osama bin Laden, polygamy, and jihad:

Mertaban: War in Iraq or Afghanistan or Osama bin Laden or Saddam Hussein. Don’t ever compromise on Islam! And don’t ever compromise on your Muslim brothers and sisters in which you have no evidence. Osama bin Laden- I don’t know this guy. I don’t know what he did. I don’t know what he said. I don’t know what happened. But we defend Muslim brothers and we defend our Muslim sisters to the end. Is that clear? I am not saying support terrorist acts. I am not saying any of that. I am saying generally speaking. If a man comes and robs a store – if you’re going to rob the store, go ahead and rob the store, are we going to condemn him? No, you support your Muslim brothers whether it is right or wrong. When they do wrong you grab them and you slap some sense into them, you’re doing wrong. You see what I am saying.

So you never compromise on your faith. You be confident in every aspect of life. In every aspect of Islam you are confident. Four wives? Yes men are allowed to have four wives within this context. Jihad? Yes Jihad! Jihad is the tightest thing in Islam. Don’t compromise on these little things. Be proud of it. Why? Because Islam is a perfect religion. If you sit here and you start saying, ‘Jihad is only an internal this and that,’ you are compromising on your faith.

Muhammad was white…(Sunaan Abu Dawud, 1.486)

Sunaan Abu Dawud, volume 1, number 486:
Anas b. Malik reported: A man entered the mosque on camel and made it kneel down, and then tied his leg with rope. He then asked: Who among you is Muhammad? The Apostle of Allah (may peace be upon him) was sitting leaning upon something among them. We said to him. ‘This white (man) who is leaning.’

* If he was indeed white, nothing to be proud of,  just saying…  

Debbie Schlussel rips the ‘Black History Month’ propaganda that targets gullible blacks to make them believe that Islam is somehow a ‘black religion’ and that all their misery can and should be blamed on white America:

Blacks are treated horribly by Islam. They are referred to as “Abed” or the plural, “Abeed”–slave or slaves. They are treated as trash. We all know and see how Blacks are treated throughout the Gulf–where they are slaves and in Saudi Arabia are routinely executed for nothing. We’ve all seen how Blacks are treated by Arab Muslims in Sudan–where, for decades, they’ve been gang-raped, tortured, and murdered en masse.

This “Black slaves were Muslim” crap is an attempt to cover that up, and make us overlook the way Blacks around the world are treated by Muslims and other Arabs. And it’s an attempt to hide from us the real story of slavery: That Arab Muslim traders captured, kidnapped, and sold many Blacks into slavery throughout the world. That Muslim countries are the places, today, where slavery of Blacks continues, while it is unacceptable throughout the rest of the world.

Must read. Lots of good contributions from other readers too…

Dingaling Massage in Brisbane

* A Pakistani medical student gives one of his underage patients a penis massage and gets a slap on the wrist:

‘Penis massage’ med student should have conviction: govt

A Brisbane judge spared him a criminal conviction so as not to jeopardise his future career, but the would-be doctor who tried to give an 11-year-old boy a penis massage might not be so lucky a second time.

State Attorney General Kerry Shine is seeking a jail term for disgraced University of Queensland medical student Shakeel Mirza, who escaped with only 12 months probation over his attempt to molest the boy in February 2006.

A criminal conviction was not formally recorded after his defence lawyers successfully argued that a black mark against his name could prevent Mirza, 27, from getting a government Blue Card – or security clearance – allowing him to treat children in hospital.

But at an appeal hearing in Brisbane’s Supreme Court today, barrister for the Crown, Michael Copely described Mirza’s punishment as “manifestly inadequate”, and accused sentencing judge David Searles of “closing his eyes” to other sentencing options.

* Australia seems to have a lot of judges with closed eyes…

He asked the court to resentence Mirza to 12 months’ jail – albeit wholly suspended – and record a criminal conviction.

“The offence was serious enough in itself, given the age disparity of the parties and the breach of trust,” Mr Copely argued.

The Pakistani-born medical student had been appointed as a mentor to the 11-year-old boy under the Lions Club’s “Aunties and Uncles” program when he tried to force his hands down the youngster’s pants at the family’s Brisbane home.

The court heard he had been rubbing the child’s head to relax him when he offered to massage the child’s penis instead because “it would feel better”.

The boy managed to fend off Mirza’s advances.

The Islamists’ Best Friend at the UN

Louise Arbour: from the ‘Perverting Everything’ department

*

By Joseph Klein
FrontPageMagazine.com | Wednesday, February 06, 2008
Louise Arbour, United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights, will be presiding over Durban II – the UN’s 2009 follow-up to its controversial 2001 ‘anti-racism’ hatefest in Durban, South Africa.

While Canada, her home country, announced that it will not attend the Durban II Conference “circus of intolerance,” as Canada’s Secretary of State for Multiculturalism so aptly described it, Ms. Arbour will be the Secretary-General of this circus.

Arbour showed her true colors a couple of weeks ago when she went out of her way to endorse a new pan-Arab human rights charter that includes a commitment to eliminate Zionism, which it explicitly equates with racism. In the preamble to the Arab charter that she sought fit to unabashedly praise, the charter speaks of “rejecting all forms of racism and Zionism,” while Article 2 says that “racism, Zionism and foreign occupation and domination” should be “condemned and efforts must be deployed for their elimination.”

Apparently Arbour forgot that even the UN General Assembly had voted to repeal its infamous 1975 ‘Zionism equals racism’ resolution. Only after UN Watch asked her office for a clarification of her original remarks that had omitted any reference to this repeal did Arbour backtrack somewhat in a follow-up statement that she issued on January 30th. However, she has not followed her Canadian countrymen’s example by withdrawing from her leadership of Durban II, where the ‘Zionism equals racism’ theme is certain to be front and center.

Anyone who has observed Arbour over the years should not be surprised by her pro-Islamist sympathies. For example, she is on record as saying back in 2006 that the Palestinian terrorists’ rocket attacks aimed specifically at killing civilians in Israel are far less of a human rights concern than Israel’s retaliatory military strikes in which some civilians are accidental casualties. She pronounced Israel guilty of “massive” human rights abuses. She said that “It is a small distinction as to whether you desire the result, or you foresee it as virtually certain and you do not care.”

Of course, the Israelis do care very much about civilian casualties and do whatever they can to minimize them. No matter how much restraint Israel shows in the face of unremitting attacks aimed at murdering its civilians, it is Arbour who does not care – about the truth.

Rampant Islamic Jew-Hatred in Europe: 50% of Antisemitic incidents attributable to Muslims in Eurabia
