Winds of Jihad

Anti-dhimmitude at the University of Pittsburgh-Johnstown. “Pa. university goes ahead with Islam critic’s speech,” from Associated Press:

JOHNSTOWN, Pa. —
A speech by a best-selling author and critic of Islam will be held at the University of Pittsburgh-Johnstown, despite calls by members of the Muslim community to cancel the event.
Members of the Islamic Center of Johnstown wanted Ayaan Hirsi Ali’s appearance canceled, saying her attacks on Islam are unjustified and Muslims in the Johnstown area get along well with everyone else.

“I don’t want her to poison anyone’s mind,” Mahmood A. Qazi, the center’s founder and past president, told the Tribune-Democrat in Johnstown. “She doesn’t believe in God. How can she talk about God?”

* Only Muslims have the right to poison peoples minds. For that, they are experts. And they don’t like competition. And ‘Allah’ is not Gd …

She can certainly talk about a belief system, especially one with which she had so much firsthand experience.

Qazi and Islamic Center president Fouad ElBayly met with Jerry Samples, the school’s vice president of academic and student affairs.

They expressed their concerns and I understand their concerns,” Samples said.
Islam, however, has been discussed at other campus events, he said. Qazi and ElBayly also wanted to discuss Islam on campus later and Samples agreed.
“Qazi and ElBayly also wanted to discuss Islam on campus later,” but apparently only on their terms.

* Because Islam must not be allowed to be criticized, and it doesn’t spread when people are not submissive…

Hirsi Ali, a Somali native and former Dutch member of parliament, is scheduled to speak Tuesday evening at Pitt-Johnstown as part of an annual lecture series.

PUPILS and teachers have been told by an official body not to stare at Muslims for fear of causing offence.

A document intended to educate against religious intolerance and sectarianism urges teachers to “make pupils aware of the various forms of Islamophobia, ie stares, verbal abuse, physical abuse”.

But Learning Teaching Scotland (LTS), which issued the advice to schools north of the border, has been criticised by politicians and Muslim leaders for going “over the top”.

The document states: “Some Muslims may choose to wear clothing or display their faith in a way that makes them visible. For example, women may be wearing a headscarf, and men might be wearing a skullcap. Staring or looking is a form of discrimination as it makes the other person feel uncomfortable, or as though they are not normal.”

* Well, very few of them ‘choose‘- in ‘undercover mosque’ you can watch the video where one of the imam’s clearly instructs his flock to whack the females into submission if they don’t wear the hijab

Osama Saeed, a spokesman for the Muslim Association of Britain, accused officials of going too far. “There are far more serious elements of Islamophobia. People look at all sorts of things — that can just be a glance. A glance and a stare are two different things — glances happen naturally when all sorts of things catch your eye whereas a stare is probably gawking at something.

“Personally I have not encountered much of a problem with people staring. I don’t know how you legislate for that.”

Murdo Fraser, deputy leader of the Scottish Conservatives, said: “In a multicultural society like ours there are people with all different forms of dress and I don’t think it’s unreasonable to expect children in particular to look at those who are differently dressed from them. To describe this as a form of discrimination seems to go completely over the top.”

Meanwhile, a survey of London’s Muslims shows that more of them identify with Britain than do the majority population. The Gallup (bullshit report) poll, which is part of the biggest global survey of Muslims, shows 57% of Muslims identified with Britain as their home, compared with 48% of the rest of the population.

The poll also found that 74% of Muslims believe they are loyal to Britain and 78% of Muslims said they had confidence in Britain’s police force — a higher proportion than the rest of the population.

The survey shows 67% of Muslims have confidence in the judicial system and 73% believe in the British democratic process. This compares with 55% and 60% respectively among the general public.

* Here more of the same:

Only one in four Muslims wanted to live in a neighborhood comprised solely of people who shared their religious or ethnic backgrounds. They also claimed a stronger sense of identifying with Britain compared with the general public and had more confidence in the police and the judicial system.

* Flying Pig alert:

Nearly three in four said they were loyal to the UK and 82 per cent said they were respectful of other religions.

* ‘Respectful like this?

Baghdad Jihadists Tear Down Crosses From Assyrian Churches, Tell Christians to Convert or Die

All this in a ‘Gun-Free Zone’- imagine!
Did he shout ‘Allahu-akbar?’ Was his name ‘Mohammed,- Omar, or Abdullah?’

Are Muslims ‘afraid of the backlash?‘- and did CAIR ‘condemn all acts of terrorism’ with the inevitable ‘but…’ already?

Did the police issue another statement that starts with ‘isolated incident’ that always ends with ‘mentally unstable man- no connection to terrorism..?’

Well, we could be wrong. We could blame Bushhitler. Anybody blame the Jooozzz yet? Lets blame the gun-lobby, Charlton Heston will do nicely…
What will Rosie say? That ‘we had it coming because of the illegal war in Iraq?’ – Did the local mosque-mufti already make his statement that the shooter had ‘no connection to the mosque at all…?’

inquiring minds want to know…

Ahh, go on, nothing to see here. Lets move to sports, or Anna Nicole Smith…

Mass Murder by Lone Gunman at VA Tech

Sketchy details on the 22 32 dead at VA Tech, all shot by a supposed lone gunman. Reports say the gunman is dead but I saw a picture of the “suspect” on the ground being handcuffed. [UPDATE: GUNMAN CONFIRMED DEAD, the guy in the picture may have been taken for questioning and released] The suspect is “Asian.” The victims were lined up and shot execution style. Anybody got a name?

VA Tech is basically a U.S. Army Military recruiting school.

There have been two bomb threats at VA Tech in the last two weeks. We do not know if these are related.

Update:

The shooter is said to be a Korean national. At this point in time we still have no knowledge of his motivation or convictions or his religious beliefs.
However, one of our readers sent in this link, which relates to the beheading of a Korean national in Iraq 2004 and the reaction of the Islamic community in Seoul:

South Korea: Muslim Community Hopes Killing Doesn’t Affect Perception of Islam
From the Chosun Ilbo,

Korean Muslim Imam Lee Hang-rae said during an interview at a mosque in Itaewon, Seoul on Wednesday that, “We Muslims were also shocked and felt heartbroken like everyone else. I am worried that this incident may damage the perception of Islam on the whole. The group that kidnapped and murdered Kim Sun-il is a political group that has nothing to do with Islam. They do not obey Islamic doctrines and are even against Islam. Islam itself is peace. The Koran also forbids murder in a phrase, “Do not take any precious life without proper reasons.”
It would be refreshing if just one time, we weren’t asked to accept that this sort of thing “has nothing to do with Islam” just on the word of other Muslims. I wish that just one time, Muslims who say these beheadings have nothing to do with Islam would explain why Sura 47:4 (“when you meet the unbelievers, smite their necks”) doesn’t apply here, and why the example of Muhammad’s beheadings doesn’t apply — in short, why the reasons that the radicals themselves give for what they are doing don’t qualify as “proper reasons” under the Qur’anic caveat cited by Lee Hang-rae.

* But they never do. Instead, all we get from one side are detailed arguments based on the Qur’an and Sunnah justifying what they do, and the other side shouting, “It’s against Islam!” Never mind which side I believe; which side do you think young Muslims who are trying to live their faith properly believe?

Update: 

Late Tuesday evening in Seoul, the shooter was identified as Cho Seung-Hui, a senior in the English department, who the South Korean Foreign Ministry said had been living in the United States since 1992. Cho was the only suspect named in connection with the deadliest shooting rampage in modern U.S. history that left 33 dead.

‘Inner struggle’ causes 70.000 souls to run for their lives as Muslim ‘Rebel’ Declares Jihad In Sulu. Those “Rebels’- are they with or without a cause?

Cotabato City, 16 April (AKI) – At least 70,000 Muslim civilians in the southern Filipino province of Sulu were displaced due to fighting between a faction of former rebel group, the Moro National Liberation Front (MNLF) and the army. Abdul Wasan Mohamad, provincial social welfare and development officer in Sulu, told Adnkronos International (AKI) that the number may increase as six towns were affected in the ongoing fighting that began when a group of MNLF forces, under leader Habier Malik attacked a Marine base near Panamao, on 13 April. Eighteen people, including two soldiers and a civilian, were killed in the incident.

“Non-government organizations and government agencies have provided evacuees with relief goods and medicines. But if the fighting continues, more and more civilians will be displaced,” Mohamad said.

The Organization of Islamic Conference (OIC) has asked the military and MNLF to stop the fighting. Reports said the OIC proposed the creation of a small military monitoring mission in Sulu province.

But Jesus Dureza, Filipino president Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo’s peace adviser, said that although they welcomed the concern of OIC, the army will undertake punitive action against Malik’s forces. Dureza asked the leadership of MNLF to take appropriate steps and deal with the criminal acts perpetrated by Malik.

“Unless decisively addressed by the MNLF leadership, this latest incident will pose as an additional challenge in our peace engagement with the MNLF,” Dureza said in statement.

MNLF deputy chairman Hatimil Hassan told reporters they would respect the appeal of the OIC.

“We have directed Malik’s group on the ground to silent their guns. We support the appeal of OIC to cease from further hostilities and resolve the matter in peaceful means,” Hassan said.

On 13 April, Malik declared a jihad, or holy war, against Manila and fired rockets on the positions of government security forces near Panamao. His action followed an attack by the army on an MNLF camp in nearby Indanan town, last week.

Analysts say that Malik’s attack is also due to frustration over the continuous postponement of the scheduled tripartite talks with the Manila, MNLF and the OIC.

In the past, Malik has been on record questioning the sincerity of the government in implementing the 1996 peace accord.

Commenting on the recent development with AKI, Sol Santos, Asia coordinator for the South-South Network (SSN) for Non-State Armed Group Engagement, said that the recent fighting could also be due to “rogue military commanders who want to get at the MNLF, contrary to higher-level policy guidelines.”

The MNLF, established by Nur Misuari in 1968, was a mostly secular group that fought for an independent state for Muslims in Mindanao. It eventually laid down its arms and accepted a limited autonomy, signing various peace agreements with the government.

The EU Anti-Terror Strategy
Britain wants to drop the “war on terror” phrase “because this isn’t us against one organised enemy with a clear identity and a coherent set of objectives.”

I’m gobsmacked, I tell you, gobsmacked. The “war on terror” is a silly, stupid, inadequate phrase, but for almost exactly the opposite of these reasons. One of its defects is that it doesn’t communicate the fact that we are facing one enemy (with various degrees of organization) with with a clear identity and a coherent set of objectives. As I and many others have pointed out on numerous occasions, terrorism is a tactic, not an opponent, and it was not invented by Osama bin Laden on September 11, 2001.

And the British also have a bad idea here because we are facing one enemy with a clear identity and a coherent set of objectives. Even if one believes that they are twisting and hijacking Islam, they are still at least self-proclaimed Islamic jihadists with the goal of setting up a worldwide caliphate. Even President Bush has spoken about that, on one or two occasions. But evidently now official Britain is retreating so far from reality that we have to pretend that we are facing simply a few gangs of thugs with no coherent ideology or common aims.

Ah, and don’t forget: The Euro-Dhimmis have already made it go away: The EU parliament has already issued new guidelines not to talk about ‘Jihad-Terror-Koran-hate-preachers’ anymore and you know what? It just went away, magically. As is it never existed.

These ‘experts’ look at all kinds of things, age, nationality, where the jihadists become radicalized, where they are recruited, but none of them looks at the obvious: At the Koran and the mosques, at the indoctrination and the attitudes of the believers against unbelievers and Jews:

Bin Laden’s Eurofighters

Picture 1:

Somali-born Briton Osman Husein, photographed at Rome’s central police station. He was arrested on suspicion of being a member of a group that tried and failed to detonate a second series of bombs on London’s public transport two weeks after the July 7, 2005 bombings.

Picture 2:
Mohammed Bouyeri, suspected killer of Dutch filmmaker Theo van Gogh. His family came from Morocco. Before he became a radical, he was involved in various youth projects. Then came a sudden break that led him to murder.

By Yassin Musharbash
242 jihadists, 31 attacks, 28 networks. After examining militant Islamism in Europe, researchers have found that self-recruitment is on the rise among terrorist leader Osama bin Laden’s Eurofighters, and that there is no such thing as a standard terrorist.

Dutch researchers Edwin Bakker and Teije Hidde Donker had an ambitious goal in mind when they wrote: “We must find out who the jihadists are, where they come from and what they look like.” Although they were not able to answer that question in its entirety, their study, “Jihadi Terrorists in Europe,” does offer plenty of fascinating results.

They researched the stories of 242 people who, between 2001 and 2006, were organized in 28 networks, planned 31 attacks and, in some cases, executed or allegedly executed these attacks. (Some are still considered presumed terrorists because their cases are still pending.) The list includes little known plots, such as the attempt to attack the Spanish Supreme Court in 2004, as well as prominent terrorist attacks, including the murder of Dutch filmmaker Theo van Gogh in 2004 and the 2005 London bus and subway bombings.

One of the most important findings of the Dutch study is that there are no standard jihadists. According to the researchers, the 28 networks they identified differ considerably from one another. In some cases, authorities were dealing with individual attackers, whereas more than 30 people were involved in the 2004 bombings of trains in Madrid. The data also cover a wide range when it comes to the attackers’ ages. The youngest was 16 and the oldest 59, which makes the average age of 27.3 years not especially meaningful.

* This is by far not the only reason Turkey must NEVER be allowed in the EU:

Hundreds of thousands protest against the steady erosion, at the hands of the Erdogan government, of the separation of religion and state in Turkey. Of course, if Erdogan didn’t have his own supporters, he wouldn’t be Prime Minister now, and apparently the inevitable next President.

Read also: Erdogan lobbies for EU membership
Hundreds of thousands of Turks took part in two days of protests hoping to persuade the Prime Minister against running for president, amid concerns that his election would put at risk the separation of religion and state in the predominantly Muslim country.
Recep Tayyip Erdogan is expected to decide this week whether to stand for president next month. Since his Justice and Development Party (AKP), which has roots in political Islam, has a substantial parliamentary majority, its candidate is assured of succeeding Ahmet Necdet Sezer, the President, who is a staunch secularist.

Mr Erdogan, who has presided over strong economic growth and has worked hard to secure Turkey’s European Union candidacy, presents himself as a conservative democrat. But opponents remain suspicious of his Islamist past. Mr Erdogan has served a prison term for sedition and his wife covers her head in the Islamic manner. During his leadership his party has attempted to criminal-ise adultery, banish alcohol from some establishments and relax restrictions on religious education and headscarves.

Muhammedan hatred against unbelievers and Jews is deeply rooted in the Koran and the hadith, the traditions and sayings of Mohammed. Muslim children, from the tender age of three, are paraded on Arab TV proudly proclaiming that Jews are descendants of Apes and Pigs and must be murdered for the glory of Allah, and self-sacrifice, ‘martyrdom’- is, must be the goal for every Muslim in order to conquer infidel lands.

Apart from Geert Wilders in the Netherlands no western leader has publicly spoken out against the Koran. Calls for censorship on video’s, CD’s, DVD’s in an age of information technology are misguided, it simply won’t work.

Vilification laws, imposed by many countries in the EU and in Victoria, concocted by an alliance of red-green utopian’s and Muslim ‘advisers’- are generally used and perverted by socialist judges, lawyers and politicians, to go after people (like us) who expose the Islamo-fascists and draw attention to the problem. The most recent and obvious example being the case of the two pastors Nalliah from the ‘Catch the Fire’ ministries, who read publicly from the Koran and were therefore accused of ‘vilifying Muslims’ and dragged through the courts.

We have enough censorship already! We have a self-censoring main-stream media that doesn’t dare to ‘hurt Muslim sensitivities’ -by not printing innocuous Mohammed cartoons, we have more than enough lefty loony journo’s who are totally befuddled with the perceived ‘underdog’- who see the Islamo-fascists as stormtroopers in the fight against capitalism and believe more Islamic immigration will ensure that socialism will once again triumph.

No. Video’s, DVD’s and CD’s such as the one by Feiz Mohammed and Bilal Philips should be widely disseminated. Every School, every teacher, every politician and everyone who cares should be confronted with this material. It should be discussed in parliament and in the families. Education is the key.

Only people who are informed can make an informed judgment.
