Winds of Jihad

New York Rep. Peter King, a prominent House Republican, said there are “too many mosques in this country” in a recent interview with Politico.

“There are too many people sympathetic to radical Islam,” King said. “We should be looking at them more carefully and finding out how we can infiltrate them.”

King is the ranking Republican on the House Homeland Security Committee. And as an outspoken advocate of strong anti-terror measures, he has been unafraid to ruffle some feathers in his drive to protect the homeland.

When asked to clarify his statement, King did not revise his answer, saying “I think there has been a lack of full cooperation from too many people in the Muslim community.” The interview was for a profile of the committee, as part of Politico’s Committee Insider Series.

Poison Dwarf’s Ahmad-in-jihad second attempt to visit Ground Zero

Iranian president Mahmoud Ahmadinejad requested to visit Ground Zero during an upcoming trip to New York. That request was rejected Wednesday. But a source tells Eyewitness News that the decision may not stop him.
A law enforcement source says the Iranian mission to the United Nations has informed the Secret Service that the Iranian president intends to visit Ground Zero Monday at 10 a.m.
The source says regardless of the NYPD’s rejection of the request for a Ground Zero tour, Iran’s president and his entourage will be accompanied by a Secret Service protective detail, a detail provided to all heads of state when they visit the United States.

Bali bomber now campaigns to stop terrorism

One of the Bali bombers responsible for the deaths of more than 200 people in 2002 is trying to help Indonesia’s police catch terrorists.

Ali Imron drove the van that blew Bali’s Sari Club apart in 2002 but he has always been the repentant bomber and since 2004 he has assisted Indonesia’s police with their hunt for terrorists.

Now, allowed out of prison for an exclusive interview with ABC Radio National’s Background Briefing program, Imron said he is making tapes to spread his anti-terrorism message.

Letting him speak out is just one part of Indonesia’s ground-breaking and controversial counter-terrorism strategy.

The flying pigs of Indonesia

Inspired by an extreme understanding of his faith, Imron played a critical role in the first Bali bombings that ripped apart the Sari Club and Paddy’s Bar on October 12, 2002, killing 88 Australians.

“After we assembled the Sari Club bomb and loaded it onto the van, I installed the detonator as well as the detonators for the vest bomb and the for the US consulate bomb,” he explained through an interpreter.

“I then taught the two suicide bombers how to trigger the explosions.

“I was the one who delivered the US consulate bomb to its destination and I ended up driving the van to the Sari club after discovering the suicide bombers couldn’t drive, handing over the vehicle at the last moment.”

Unlike his brothers, Imron escaped the death penalty because he showed remorse for his actions.

“I will continue to ask for forgiveness from the victims and their families, from anyone affected by violence in which I was involved,” he said.

“I will never stop asking for forgiveness.”

Out of jail

It would be inconceivable in Australia, but Indonesia has let Imron out of jail to tell his story to Background Briefing.

Indonesian police say he is now a potent force for counter-terrorism, and they want Australia to know how Imron is working to stop further violence.

In a Jakarta hotel room, flanked by a prison guard, Imron was calm and quietly focused as he explained his new form of jihad.

“I help police because I know what the terrorists think,” he said.

“I know how they will try to get their weapons and explosives. I know what kind of place they will target for what kind of action and I know how they would carry that out.

“I know how to hide from the police on the run, how the terrorists recruit new members and who is most vulnerable to the radical message.

“I am giving all this information to police so I can stop violence and terrorism.”

JI’s secrets revealed
It might be cold comfort for his victims and their families, but now Imron is revealing trade secrets of terror group Jemaah Islamiah.

Further, he claims to have considerable influence outside prison.

He says students at his family’s Islamic boarding school would become suicide bombers if he asked them to. Instead, Imron sends them the opposite message.

“Since I was jailed in Bali, I’ve been writing a book and other materials about my ideas,” he said.

“Also every time my family or friends visit me, or I send a message to others outside prison, I always say it was a mistake to carry out the bombings. It was the wrong kind of jihad.”

Part of Imron’s new type of jihad, or spiritual struggle in God’s name, is sending cassettes to his family’s east Java school. But he has some competition: his unrepentant brother and fellow bomber, Ali Ghufron, who is known as Mukhlas.

Mukhlas is on death row and is also hard at work making cassettes for the al-Islam school, but urging the students to become terrorists.

Imron says it is a battle for influence.

“Mukhlas and I both send letters and cassettes to al-Islam,” he said.

“It’s a tough thing to deal with personally and tough for the teachers there because I ask the students to follow my example while Mukhlas calls them to carry out violent jihad.

“We will have to wait and see who wins this battle for influence.”

Imron says he has had some success in dissuading people from violent forms of jihad.

“Yes, there are success stories, thank God,” he said.

“None of my students or former students are involved in terrorism and none of my close friends are involved. But there’s more to do and I’ll keep working to stop terrorism.”

U.S.: Taliban ‘men’ used kids as human shields

The U.S. Embassy in Kabul warned American citizens that suicide bomb attacks were expected to increase during the holy month of Ramadan.

Holy Land defense cites free speech

Attorneys say views express emotion over Palestinian conflict

By JASON TRAHAN / The Dallas Morning News
jtrahan@dallasnews.com
Defense attorneys on Tuesday said that their clients’ radical views – caught on tape and presented to jurors during the Holy Land Foundation terrorism finance trial – were rooted in their deep feelings over the Palestinian-Israeli conflict and are protected by free speech rights.

Greg Westfall, attorney for defendant Abdulrahman Odeh, on Tuesday tried to explain a 1995 phone call his client made to co-defendant Mohammad El-Mezain to tell him “a beautiful operation just took place,” when a Hamas suicide bomber killed 18 Israelis. “May it be good, God’s willing,” Mr. El-Mezain replied.

Mr. Westfall told jurors during closing arguments to remember that the phone call was made only a year after Baruch Goldstein, an American-born Jewish settler, killed 29 Muslim worshippers in Hebron.

The attack, described as the worst by Jewish extremists against Palestinians, set off riots and suicide bombings.

“I have no experience parallel to what it’s like to be a Palestinian,” said Mr. Westfall of Fort Worth.

Video Surfaces of Foreign Jihadis Decapitating Serb Soldier, Using Head as Soccer Ball..

A Bosnian TV station has broadcast part of an alleged new video apparently showing gruesome crimes perpetrated againt Bosnian Serbs by a unit of Muslim fighters during Bosnia’s 1992-1995 civil war.

The footage, broadcast by BN TV apparently shows the ‘El Mujahadid’ unit “sharpening axes” which they later allegedly used to behead a Bosnian Serb soldier.

The video also reportedly shows footage of the mujahadeen in playing football using a decapitated head instead of a ball, Serbian news agency Tanjug reported.

It contains chilling scenes showing mutilated corpses mujahadeen tying up and abuse prisoners of war. A mujahadeen is heard saying: “They call us terrorists. We are terrorists and we will destroy all the enemies of Allah.”

The El Mujahid was a unit consisting of fighters from Muslim countries, who, as they say on the tape, came to Bosnia to “fight for Allah.”

Jordan: No Hamburgers For Ramadan

What? No halal burgers for queen Rania?

Amman, 18 Sept. (AKI) – Jordan has forced several restaurants with international links to close for Ramadan because it would “violate the sanctity” of the month.

Authorities said serving daily meals is contrary to a directive from the interior ministry that has blocked the opening of restaurants during daylight hours during the month of fasting.

Even though Jordan has a Christian minority of around 5 per cent and Ramadan coincides with the beginning of the autumn tourism season, the interior ministry has decided to close restaurants such as McDonald’s and Burger King.

Authorities in Amman have made it known that no-one will be permitted to violate the sanctity of the month.

Jordanian laws only allow those restaurants that cater for tourists to supply their services during Ramadan since they are under the supervision of the tourism ministry and not the province.

While the government of Amman initially decided to authorise hotels – with a three to five star classification – to sell alcoholic beverages and to permit pubs and discotecques to open nightly during Ramadan while in the past it was banned.

But this decision has provoked an outcry from Islamist organisations and they have pressed the interior ministry to cancel the new decree and renew the old one.

Turkish PM says wants to lift headscarf ban

And so it begins. Sharia Alert from Turkey. From Reuters (thanks to DW)

ANKARA (Reuters) – Turkish Prime Minister Tayyip Erdogan was quoted in the Financial Times on Wednesday as saying he wanted to lift the ban on the Islamic headscarf in universities as part of a planned constitutional overhaul.
The remarks by Erdogan, whose Islamist-rooted AK Party won a new five-year mandate in July elections, could reignite tensions with Turkey’s powerful secular elite, including army generals, which suspects him of wanting to boost the role of religion.

“The right to higher education cannot be restricted because of what a girl wears. There is no such problem in Western societies but there is a problem in Turkey and I believe it is the first duty of those in politics to solve the problem,” he told the FT in an interview in Ankara.

The secularists regard the headscarf as a symbolic threat to Turkey’s separation of state and religion. They also fear any lifting of the ban would put social pressure on uncovered women to start wearing the headscarf in overwhelmingly Muslim Turkey.

DNA TESTS AND DEPORTATION TARGETS

French Left Resists Sarkozy’s Immigration Crackdown

The immigration debate is hotting up in France, as left-wing politicians and human rights groups face off against the government’s plans for tougher immigration laws, including DNA tests. Now eight Paris mayors say they won’t cooperate with implementing Sarkozy’s deportation targets.

* Have they not heard of the ‘sanctuary cities’ yet, a term coined in the US?

The French goverment is toughening up its immigration policies, with plans to introduce DNA tests for prospective immigrants and demands that local officals meet their deportation targets. But the left is hitting back, with eight Paris mayors saying they won’t cooperate and human rights groups accusing the government of treating immigrants as “disposable objects” instead of human beings.

French President Nicolas Sarkozy campaigned on a law and order platform, which included a pledge to crack down on illegal immigration and make it harder for foreigners to make France their home. His government is now considering introducing DNA tests for prospective immigrants, while his Immigration Minister Brice Hortefeux (more…) has told local prefects they are not doing enough to hit the president’s deportation targets.

Sarkozy had promised to expel 25,000 illegal immigrants from France by the end of 2007. But Hortefeux, who is head of the newly created Ministry of Immigration and National Identity, is struggling to meet the target, with only 11,000 having been shown the door in the first seven months of the year. “I want numbers!” Sarkozy told the minister in a meeting last month, according to Le Point magazine. “It’s a campaign commitment. The French are expecting this from me,” he was reported as saying.

But the first rumbles of rebellion are emerging. On Thursday, eight mayors in the Paris region lashed out at government pressure to expel more immigrants, a day after Hortefeux berated 19 regional officials for falling short of the targets.

In an open letter to the minister, the left-wing mayors said: “We remind you that we are doing our duty as citizens to protect inhabitants who live, work and study in our community,” they declared. “We are not at your orders. … Your obsessive vision of numbers … is more condemnable because human beings are involved.”

* Strange that the lefts humanity is so selective. It seems to apply to illegal immigrants only, Muhammedans especially, but not to native French. Why is that?

Human rights groups have also denounced the government for emphasizing the volume of expulsions. Anti-racism group MRAP said that the deportation drive was turning immigrants into “disposable objects.” Pierre Henry, director-general of the non-governmental organization France, Land of Asylum, told the radio station Europe-1 that he accepted that “the state has the right to say who can come in, who leaves and how.” But, he said, “The problem is when expulsion policy becomes the alpha and omega of migration policy.”

Tensions have also been raised after a parliamentary commission on Wednesday approved introducing DNA tests for family members of immigrants already in France. The measure will now be included in a sweeping immigration law to be debated by parliament next week, aimed at toughening visa requirements. “No subject should be taboo,” Hortefeux told reporters on Thursday.
Serge Blisko, a Socialist deputy of the National Assembly, pointed out that many countries lack DNA testing facilities and warned that it could lead to a “genetic screening” of foreigners. Bertrand Pancher, a member of Sarkozy’s Union for a Popular Movement (UMP), voiced concerns about how adopted children would be affected.

France’s League for Human Rights noted that the tests cost several hundred euros and and would be beyond the means of most applicants from poor countries, so that the measure would effectively “filter” poorer immigrants. It also argued that the measure is not constitutional, as the French civil code forbids DNA tests for anything other than scientific or medical purposes.

Frankreich: Wer sich nicht integriert, erhält keine Sozialhilfe mehr

Die neue französische Regierung des konservativen Präsidenten Sarkozy hatte wenige Tage nach der Regierungsbildung Muslimen, die dauerhaft in ihre Heimatländer zurückkehren, je Familie eine Rückkehrprämie von 8000 Euro angeboten (wir berichteten). Nun geht man einen Schritt weiter: Mann will die Familienzuammenführung begrenzen und jenen ausländischen Mitbürgern, die sich nicht integrieren, komplett die Sozialhilfe streichen. Auch sollen bei der Familienzusammenführung Gentests eingeführt werden. Zudem sollen in die französische Verfassung Einwanderungsqoten aufgenommen werden (Quelle: Tages-Anzeiger, Zürich, 19.

How France Has Fallen

Muslim immigration has overwhelmed permissive French institutions

France is probably the worst affected of all western nations by immigration, since it is on the brink of losing its European identity to the insistent Muslims increasing in numbers within French borders. As they grow in population, they come to believe they can impose the will of Islam on the French people, who seem rather unconcerned with the transformation.

Arab States: Peace with Israel will not help USA in Iraq, Iran

A pet theory of the US State Department is that solving the Israeli – Palestininian conflict will magically solve the Israeli-Arab conflict, and that solving both will even more magically solve all the problems of the Middle East, make Wahhabi Sheikhs fall in love with democracy and reduce the price of oil to about 25 cents a barrel. Bikinis will replace Hijabs in Iran, the Persian Gulf will turn into grade A crude oil, the lion will lie down the lamb, and a little assistant undersecretary of state for Middle East Affairs shall lead them.

The upcoming summit conference on the Middle East was designed according to those percepts: the United States would show “progress” in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, the Arabs in turn would help the United States extricate itself from Iraq. The particular idea that the Jews are at fault for the problems of the United States in Iraq was due to the Iraq Study Group report, where it was injected as a last minute afterthought by Ray Close.

There is no longer any need for agents of the World Zionist Conspiracy, A.K.A. “Israel Lobby” to explain that this idea is a fantasy. The idea was just shot down by the Arabs. According to an AFP article:

Pro-Western Gulf Arab states do not want the Middle East peace conference called by Washington to be aimed at helping get it out of “the Iraqi impasse,” the oil-rich bloc’s chief said on Tuesday.

Gulf Cooperation Council member states “welcome any attempt to reach a just and comprehensive solution of the Palestinian issue and settle the Arab-Israeli conflict,” Abdulrahman al-Attiyah said in remarks released at
GCC headquarters in Riyadh.

He said he hoped the proposed conference will address core issues and will “not be aimed at linking movement in the Middle East peace process to developments in Iraq in a bid to attract Arab states to a conference whose real goal is to help (the US) get out of the Iraqi impasse.”

Attiyah did not elaborate on his suggestion that Gulf monarchies, which have close ties with the United States, fear Washington might use the conference to ease its difficulties in war-torn Iraq, where the continuing insurgency is fueling mounting domestic criticism.

The Western-shunned Islamist movement slammed the decision as “collective punishment” for the 1.5 million residents of the impoverished territory, one of the world’s most densely populated places. A senior UN official also said the move was against international law, while the United States said it had received assurance from Israel that it would not affect the humanitarian situation in the territory.

Lawyering the war to death

Important observations by Michael Barone

Never in the history of the United States had lawyers had such extraordinary influence over war policy as they did after 9/11.” Those are the words of Jack Goldsmith, the Harvard law professor who was one of those lawyers, as head of the Justice Department’s Office of Legal Counsel in 2003 and 2004. They appear in his book “The Terror Presidency,” hailed as a criticism of the Bush administration’s legal policies, which in part it is. Believing that some of his predecessor’s opinions, particularly two on interrogation techniques, were “deeply flawed,” he reversed them. He argues that the administration would have ended up with more latitude in fighting terrorism if it had worked with Congress to get legislation, even if those laws would not have been as expansive as the administration wanted. It’s a serious argument, and he also presents fairly, I think, the opposing view that such restrictions would make it harder to protect the American people.

Tortured maid in serious condition after amputation of her limbs

By Mariam Al Hakeem, Correspondent

Riyadh: An Indonesian housemaid is in serious condition following amputation of both her hands and feet after a month-long torture by her employers, said a member of the Saudi National Society for Human Rights.

Dr Nora Al Jumaih, member of the monitoring and follow-up committee at the Saudi National Society for Human Rights (NSHR), said in press statements yesterday that she would meet the chairman of the monitoring committee at NSHR to brief him on the case of the Indonesian maid.

She added that a report on the condition of the Indonesian housemaid was prepared and will be handed over to NSHR.

The Indonesian housemaid, whose name was not given, was earlier admitted to the Riyadh Medical Complex, popularly known as Shimaisy Hospital, after being severely beaten for almost one month by her employers, a Saudi man and his wife. The doctors in hospital decided to amputate her hands and feet because of gangrene.

Severely beaten

Dr Nora, who visited the Indonesian housemaid in hospital, noted that she was in poor health.

“It is clear that the woman was severely beaten after being tied up in the [courtyard of the house] under the sun for almost one month and was beaten with iron rods. Her teeth were knocked out and her lips were cut,” the NSHR member pointed out.

Dr Nora called for maximum punishment of the employer and his wife.

“Cases of housemaids are the most complicated to deal with as this category does not know of a society that can help them and restore their rights,” she said.

“There should be collaboration between hospital officials and the press to make such cases known to the public and therefore the Human Rights Society would know about them,” she added. Dr Nora noted that NSHR would follow up the case with the party assigned to question the employer and his wife.

* There are about one thousand cases annually where Saudi employers severely beat, maim, torture, rape and abuse poor maids from third world countries…

(Translation of Sunan Abu-Dawud, General Behavior (Kitab Al-Adab), Book 41, Number 5251)”

Because of the above hadith, thousands of women are annually sexually crippled and mutilated

“The student’s religion was not immediately known”

To what lengths will the dhimmi press go to conceal the Islamic aspect of misbehavior committed by Muslims in the name of Islam? I don’t think there is any limit, any limit at all — just check out this story. A Muslim student distributes leaflets calling on people to convert to Islam, and issues threats, and…“the student’s religion was not immediately known.” Darn those Methodists! They’re so ecumenical these days, they’re even distributing leaflets calling on people to convert to a different religion!

* Update: Charles from LGF seems to think that Larry Celona might have simply been sarcastic:

Our line of the day comes from the New York Post; I’m not sure if the reporter, Larry Celona, was being sarcastic, but I’d like to think so: Islam leaflet school bust.

‘Nuclear Watchdog’ Mohammed ElBaradei ElBabbleday goes apes#*t over likely attack on Iran

Guardian News & Media
THE UN’s chief nuclear weapons inspector has warned against the use of force against Iran, in what he said was an attempt to halt an “out of control” drift to war.

Mohamed ElBaradei’s outspoken remarks on Monday, which drew a parallel between Iran and Iraq, appeared to be aimed at the US and Britain. They followed comments on Sunday by the French Foreign Minister, Bernard Kouchner, who said, “we have to prepare for the worst”, adding “the worst is war”.

* Really? Don’t you think being blackmailed and nuked by Iran’s mad mullah’s is worse than war?

* Even Andrew Bolt is onto him:

*I suspect ElBaradei has an ideological agenda incompatible with his duties at the IAEA*

* You bet he does….

Update: You bet he  does have an agenda. He proves it to you right here: 

IAEA Springs Into Action, Elects Syria Co-Chairman

The United Nations descends even further into the depths of absurdity, as the UN’s toothless nuclear watchdog elects Syria as co-chairman of the IAEA.

Two weeks after Israel’s alleged bombing raid in Syria, which some foreign reports said targeted North Korean nuclear material, the UN’s nuclear watchdog elected Syria as deputy chairman of its General Conference on Monday.

The 51st session of the General Conference of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) opened in Vienna on Monday and will run through Friday.

The Syrian news agency SANA proudly reported the election on Tuesday, adding that Syria was also successful in including “the Israeli nuclear arsenal as an item on the agenda of the conference.”

The agenda for the meeting includes the item “Israeli nuclear capabilities and threat.” While Iran will be a focus of the discussions, there is no item on the agenda referring to the Islamic Republic by name.

Catholic students forced to wear the Islamic veil

by Mathias Hariyadi

It is happening in schools in the North of Sumatra. A Christian family raises the alarm, their daughters “have no other choice” but to dress according to Islamic customs. This is imposed by some local norms inspired by Sharia, which should only effect Muslim citizens.

Only in Holland: Court Tells Jihad Ape To Do It Right Next Time, Because His plans Were “Clumsy and Primitive”-

His plans were “clumsy and primitive,” so let’s let him walk the streets until he learns how to do it right. “Samir A. convicted again for terrorism,” from Expatica

THE HAGUE (AFP) – A Dutch Muslim radical was sentenced to four years in jail by an Amsterdam appeals court on Monday for planning a terrorist attack in 2004.
Samir Azzouz had already been acquitted on the same charges twice by a lower court and an appeals court which said his plans were “so clumsy and primitive” that they were not a threat.

* Sure. Why Not?

* After all, Islam discovered America long before Columbus, (was not Columbus himself a Muslim?) Just like Islam discovered Australia hundreds of years before James Cook crashed through the Great Barrier Reef only to discover that the interior was full of mosques.

* Science, algebra, aeronautics, medicine, the arts: Is there anything, anything at all today that we don’t owe to Arab Muslims, who were soooo far ahead of us when we were still in the dark ages frolicking naked in the woods…. ? And were not Moses, Abraham, Noah, Solomon, even Jesus followers of Muhammad even though they lived centuries, milleniums, before the ‘prophet’ of Islam dreamed up his ‘revelations’???

Be that as it may:

* Winds of Jihad reader Eddie Rollnick just happened by chance upon the Wikipedia entry for the 10 commandments, and you will find the the soldiers of Allah have been there and done it, just like they always do. Take a look, (don’t laugh!) and you will find that Islam has it all, just like any other religion, nothing to worry about, its all good…

Here’s the link: Islam & the 10 Commandments: Muslim Understanding

In Islam Moses/Musa is venerated as one of the greatest prophets of God. However, Islam also teaches that the texts of the Torah and the Gospels have been corrupted from their divine originals over the years, due to carelessness or self-interest. Despite this purported corruption, messages from the Torah and the Gospels still coincide closely with certain verses in the Qur’an. This is by-and-large the case with the Ten Commandments. Consequently, despite the Ten Commandments not being explicitly mentioned in the Qur’an they are substantially similar to the following verses in the Qur’an (using Jewish numbering of the Commandments):

* You see, the Ten Commandments  are not ‘explicitly mentioned’ in the Qur’an, but lets invent them anyhow, or find something similar. And the Golden Rule? Sure! Islam invented the Golden Rule, don’t you know?

1. “There is no other god beside God.”(47:19)
2. “My Lord, make this a peaceful land, and protect me and my children from worshiping idols.” (14:35)
3. “Do not subject God’s name to your casual swearing, that you may appear righteous, pious, or to attain credibility among the people.” (2:224)
4. “O you who believe, when the Congregational Prayer (Salat Al-Jumu`ah) is announced on Friday, you shall hasten to the commemoration of GOD, and drop all business.” (62:9)
   The Sabbath was relinquished with the revelation of the Quran. Muslims are told in the Quran that the Sabbath was only decreed for the Jews. (16:124) God, however, ordered Muslims to make every effort and drop all businesses to attend the congregational (Friday) prayer. The Submitters may tend to their business during the rest of the day.
5. “….and your parents shall be honoured. As long as one or both of them live, you shall never (even) say to them, “Uff” (the slightest gesture of annoyance), nor shall you shout at them; you shall treat them amicably.” (17:23)  Next is GWB’s favorite: Mind you, he only quotes the first line, like Muslims do when they try to pull the wool over infidel eyes and ears, but we give you the full monty:
6. “For this reason did We prescribe to the children of Israel that whoever slays a soul, unless it be for manslaughter or for mischief in the land, it is as though he slew all men; and whoever keeps it alive, it is as though he kept alive all men; and certainly Our messengers came to them with clear arguments, but even after that many of them certainly act extravagantly in the land.(5.32) The punishment of those who wage war against Allah and His Messenger, and strive with might and main for mischief through the land is: execution, or crucifixion, or the cutting off of hands and feet from opposite sides, or exile from the land: that is their disgrace in this world, and a heavy punishment is theirs in the Hereafter.”(5.33)
7. “ “You may have whomever you desire; there is no blame.” ” (33:51) Strange ‘commandment,’- that…
8. “As to the thief, male or female, cut off his or her hands: a punishment by way of example, from Allah, for their crime: and Allah is Exalted in Power. Full of Wisdom.”(5:38) Barbaric Punishment is a commandment? No wonder the Jews were laughing at Muhammad…
   
9. “Do not withhold any testimony by concealing what you had witnessed. Anyone who withholds a testimony is sinful at heart.” (2:283)
10. “And do not covet what we bestowed upon any other people. Such are temporary ornaments of this life, whereby we put them to the test. What your Lord provides for you is far better, and everlasting.” (20:131)

Don’t laugh, its serious. There is no fun in Islam, remember….
