On al-Wara wal-bara (“love and hate” for Allah’s sake.)
2013, 29th Sept. Abstracted “The Blaze”. Pakistani cleric Abdul Samad: “Our enmity towards Hindus is not due to the Kashmir issue; our enmity towards America is not due to Iraq and Afghanistan; the enmity between us and the Jews is not due to the Palestine; the real cause is that they do not accept our system and Islam… Our enmity towards them (the non-believers) will continue even if they renounce all their crimes. … Enmity towards infidels is a must. It is part of our faith. Islam says the Muslims should stay away from the infidels and their countries… The best way to get rid of them (infidels) is to continue jihad until the Allah’s faith (Islam) is completely enforced all over the world.” Comment: And there you have it. “True believer” Muslims hate non-Muslims for the ‘crime’ of … being non-Muslim. Everything else is just window-dressing.
2013, 27th Nov. Abstracted “Dawn”. Taliban gunmen shot dead six Afghani staffers working for the French aid group ACTED on rural development projects in northern Afghanistan. Comment: these Afghanis were working for Kaffirs and closely associated with them. This makes them worthy of death in orthodox Islam since they were not hating the kaffir as required by al-wara wal bara.
On non-Muslims.
2013, 23rd Oct. Abstracted “AsiaNews”. Cairo. The security forces charged with protecting the Christians of the Church of the Virgin Mary in Warraq fled up a side street leaving the church unguarded before a murderous attack by Islamists. This reopens the controversy about the responsibilities of police and members of the army, already accused by Christian leaders of doing nothing to prevent attacks by Islamists or defend Christian buildings and places of worship. Eye-witnesses of the attack confirm that despite numerous distress calls, police and ambulances only arrived on the scene two hours after the shooting. Comment: these persistent failures, of which this is but the latest, speak of a degree of state complicity in such persecution of Christians in Egypt.
2013, 30th Oct. Abstracted “Morning Star”. Sudan: After months of bulldozing or appropriating (stealing) church buildings in Sudan on the pretext that they belong to South Sudanese who are no longer citizens of the country and deporting Christians, Sudan’s authorities are aiding a Muslim businessman’s effort to steal church property in Khartoum North. Sudan’s police and security forces broke into the Khartoum Bahri Evangelical Church this month, beat and arrested Christians in the compound and asserted parts of the property belonged to the Muslim whilst a Muslim mob chanted “Allah Akbar” outside. Comment: the property of non-Muslims is all fai and Ghanima at the hands of “victorious” Muslims.
On Islamic Supremacy
2013, 29th Oct. Abstracted “Huffington Post”. READ the whole article! A two-storeyed mural in graffiti art displaying a jihadi battle prayer today adorns the entrance of a Toronto area mosque, talking of “imminent victory” of Muslims, one that is guaranteed by Allah. (This is a paraphrase of Koran 61:13). The mural was paid for by the City of Toronto. In essence the taxpayers of Toronto, most of them non-Muslim, paid for a mural that prays for their defeat at the hands of Muslims! Al-Qaeda, amongst others, “mujahideen” use this same verse to justify their attacks. When Muslims petitioned to have it removed, the City rejected their petition believing the supporters of the mural who [risibly] claimed that it was “an innocent prayer that is used by ordinary Muslims when facing difficulty in life.” Comment: I don’t know what is worse: the Taqiyya of (some of) the Muslims, or the wilful blindness of the authorities.
2013, 20th Nov. Abstracted “frontpagemag”. The “Legitimate League of Scholars and Preachers” in Sudan (an influential body of Muslim clerics) issued a statement last month asserting that “Allah has honoured human beings over creation and multiplied the Muslim’s honour over the infidel’s, because Islam elevates and nothing is elevated above it. The value of the blood of Muslims is equal, or should be, but not so the value of the blood of others… [Mohammed said] Let no Muslim be killed because of an infidel.” The Legitimate League of Scholars and Preachers then elaborate on the prophet’s injunction as meaning that under no circumstances are Muslim rulers ever permitted to execute Muslims for killing non-Muslims, including those groups that are “protected” by Islamic law, such as dhimmis (subjugated, tribute-paying non-Muslims) and foreign non-Muslims granted aman, or a pledge of security to enter Muslim lands. – even if Muslims murder non-Muslims in cold blood. Comment: once again Muslims state their superiority over non-Muslims.
On war, terror, violence – i.e. jihad.
2013, 3rd Oct. Abstracted “Al-Arabiya”. al-Shabaab spokesman: “We will strike Kenyans where it hurts the most, turn their cities into graveyards and rivers of blood will flow in Nairobi. Kenya [is] inviting unprecedented levels of insecurity, bloodshed and destruction.” Comment: As ever the Islamist lust for blood-shed continues.
2013, 8th Oct. Abstracted “AsiaNews.IT”. One person was killed and six were seriously wounded in an explosion yesterday morning in Chittagong at a madrasah (Qur’anic school) that belongs to Hefajat-e-Islam, an Islamic group that is very active in Bangladesh. According to police, the educational facility was used to manufacture bombs and weapons. Agents found traces of explosive devices as well as three crude bombs, more than 30 homemade grenades and 18 bottles of picric acid [a contact explosive]. Police also issued a warrant for the arrest of seven people, including Nayeb-e-Ameer Mufti Izharul Islam Chowdhury, founder of the madrassa. And in Pakistan… 3rd Nov. Abstracted “Tribune”. A religious seminary was gutted as a result of an explosion that occurred after explosive materials prematurely went off . Four rooms of the religious seminary and a nearby house were completely destroyed in the blast. Police recovered religious materials and explosives from the scene Comment: Isn’t it nice to know that you can get a proper Islamic education in Bangladesh and Pakistan.
2013, 16th Oct. Abstracted “al-Ahram”. Islamic law expert Dr. Abdul Fatah Idris of Al Azhar University’s Department of Comparative Jurisprudence, Faculty of Sharia Law: “Jihad in the path of Allah, to make his word supreme, spread his religion, defend the honour of the Islamic nation [umma], and respond to the aggression against Muslims all around the earth—this is jihad: when a Muslim fights an infidel without treaty [potentially anyone living in the “Dar ul harb”] to make the word of Allah Most High supreme, forcing him to fight or invading his land, this is a permissible matter according to the consensus of the jurists. Indeed, it is an obligation for all Muslims. Now if the deeds of the jihad—including fighting the infidels and breaking their spine through all possible means—are permissible according to Sharia, then it is impossible to define those acts as terrorism, which Sharia-based evidence has made illegitimate. A large gap exists between them [jihad and terrorism]. And there is no connection between what is obligatory [jihad] and what is forbidden [terrorism].” Comment: in other words, whatever is done to make “Allah’s word supreme” cannot be terrorism because Allah says it isn’t.
2013 17th Oct. Abstracted “The Guardian”. Al- Shabaab released an hour-long film, The Woolwich Attack: It’s an Eye for an Eye. In the film Al-Shabaab’s spokespersons singles out specific British Muslims who have distanced “themselves from the mujahideen who carried out these attacks” and says that these “moderate” Muslims have “mutilated the teachings of Islam“. Later, another spokesperson says: “I call upon you today, all the Muslim men in Britain … I call upon you to come to jihad, and raise the banner, humiliate the disbelievers, cut the necks of the disbelievers.” Comment: yet again “true-believer”, pious orthodox Muslims tell us that it is the “moderates” who have Islam all wrong. They also (yet again) call for sword-jihad in the West – here the U.K.
2013, 31st Oct. Abstracted “The Local”. Swedish Imam Haytham Rahmeh has been moonlighting – as an arms supplier to al-Qaeda linked Syrian rebels in breach of Swedish arms control laws. Nazir Hakim, head of the pro-rebel “Commission for Civilian Protection”, confirmed that Rahmeh has fundraised for the group and that monies collected went toward the purchase of weapons. Comment: another Imam shows his whole-hearted support for “the religion of peace”.
2013, 31st Oct. Abstracted “JNS”. Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas speech to 26 Palestinian terrorists released by Israel (including the murderer of a 67-year old holocaust survivor): “We welcome our brothers the heroes coming from behind the bars to a world of freedom and liberty.” Comment: yet another Muslim leader lauding Muslim terrorists.
2013, 7th Nov. Abstracted “Jerusalem Post” and “Zee News”. (JP): Egyptian Sheikh Abu Mundhir al-Shinqiti has called on Egyptians to stop using non-violent means such as protests, and instead to attack the Egyptian regime and the Egyptian army which he calls an “army of infidels” and “a collection of criminals.” He wrote that the Egyptian protests were not working despite the army’s crimes against Islam and Muslims. Therefore, it was an individual duty for all Muslims to carry out a defensive jihad against the regime. (ZN): Al Qaeda is targeting journalists in Syria’s Raqa with a wave of kidnappings, beatings and assassinations aimed at silencing them, in what activists call a reign of terror. “Is your head still attached to your body? I swear to God your head will be cut off, and that we’ll give you a visa to hell,” the Al-Qaeda-affiliated “Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant” (ISIL). Comment: Here we have Muslims calling for (and carrying out) Jihad against those “not Muslim enough” – i.e. Muslims who don’t share the views of the orthodox Muslim Jihadists.
On Muslim “hypocrites” and apostates.
2013, 6th Nov. Abstracted “Magharebia”. Tunisia: Imam Ben Zbida Ben Ahmed (a member of a Tunis-based Ansar al-Sharia group), was arrested for inciting worshippers to assassinate Tunisian National Guard and military personnel. He also called for the killing of any civilians who co-operate with security services. Comment: It’s okay in Islam to kill Muslims who aren’t “Muslim enough” – i.e. who don’t believe a particular version of Islam. Note: ALL versions are violent – this just allows Muslim group A to kill Muslim group B and vice-versa.
On Islamic tolerance and equality.
2013, 15th Nov. Abstracted “MalaysianDigest”. THE Federal Department of Islamic Development (Jakim) urged [the City of] Putrajaya in its Friday sermon today to consider internet censorship to stop attacks against Islam. Jakim warned that the international line of thinking, such as liberalism and pluralism, seems to be spreading fast via the internet and influencing the younger generation. Jakim also warned that the use of websites to weaken the faith of Muslims was the cunning strategy of the enemies of Islam… Comment: Nothing new in Muslims wanting any criticism silenced of course, but note the implication that “ liberalism and pluralism” are un-Islamic and that people who support such things as well as Islam critics are “enemies of Islam” and Islam’s enemies are to be killed (of course).
On correct Islamic behaviour and attitudes:
2013, 8th Oct. Abstracted “The Telegraph AU”. Milad Bin Ahmad Shah al-Ahmadzai, will appear before in Court over the May 1 shooting and ambush of a 52-year-old man outside the Aarows nightclub on Bridge St, Rydalmere. The establishment is a 24-hour gay, bisexual and swingers club. (Note: al-Ahmadzai supports the Islamic practice of Mussalmen keeping sex-slaves). Comment: owning sex-slaves is ‘moral’, consensual sex between unmarried people is ‘immoral and deserving of death’. Odd morality you’ve got their Milad.
2013 20th Oct. Abstracted from “Islam Watch”. Mehdi Hassan UK spokesman for “moderate” Islam: “Once we lose the moral high ground we [Muslims] are no different to the rest of the non-Muslims, from the rest of those human beings who live their lives as animals, bending any rule to fulfil any desire.” Comment: it’s always so nice to hear the words of a nice moderate Muslim saying nice things about non-Muslims.
2013, 23rd Oct. Abstracted “Inquirer”. BANDAR SERI BEGAWAN — The Sultan of Brunei introduced tough Sharia-law punishments on Tuesday including death by stoning for crimes such as adultery, hailing what he called a “historic” step toward Islamic orthodoxy for his sleepy country. Comment: the Sultan is quite correct – such barbarity IS Islamic orthodoxy.
2013, 15th Nov. Abstracted “Birmingham Mail”. UK. An imam caught agreeing to marry off a 14-year-old girl has been welcomed back to his mosque job, despite protests from worshippers. The Mosque management committee confirmed the imam had been allowed to return following an investigation by an ‘independent committee’. Asked if they thought Mr Hussain’s offer to marry off the schoolgirl was wrong, Mr Noor Hussain stressed no criminal offence had been committed as no marriage had actually been conducted. Comment: From which we can conclude that the Mosque committee (or at least some of it), being orthodox Muslims, fully support child-marriage and the fact that it is illegal (as well as immoral) has no bearing since it is only man-made laws not Islamic Sharia that they disregard.
2013, 27th Nov. Leading Indonesian Imam Maman Abdurrahman has decreed that celebrating non-Muslim holidays such as Christmas is an act of kufr, and is thus forbidden in Islam and Islamist organization Hizb ut-Tahrir Indonesia shared Abdurrahman’s decree on their website, considering it valid. Comment: next time your local Muslim/Mosque invites you to attend prayers or other Muslim celebration etc., just remember that this sort of “interfaith” is a one-way street with Islam.
On anti-Semitism.
2013 30th Sept. Abstracted “Al-Rai TV”. Kuwaiti scholar Muhanna Hamad Al-Muhanna: First of all, as a Muslim, I believe that [the Jews] are evil. It is not that evil is in their genes, but their cultural education is based upon the Talmud, which derides the goyim, or “the others.” For them, even God is racist. Yahweh is the god of the Israelites alone. The word Elohim [God] is barely mentioned, and Yahweh belongs to the Jews alone. Racism became part and parcel of this religion, or this people. The Jews became a separate people with its own religion. Right, they think the others will defile them if they join their religion. I am not saying that the Jews have evil in their genes. But it is remarkable that at least a quarter of the stories in the Koran are about the Israelites, or the Jews. Everything Allah warned us about through the story of Moses – how they slew the prophets, and so on… What is remarkable is that, secular or not, the Jews are racist. The founders of the so-called “Israel” – Weizmann and Ben-Gurion – were atheists. But if they had truly dissociated themselves from the religion, how come they were the most zealous about gathering the Jews, under Zionism? If you are truly an atheist, you should assimilate in your country – in Poland, Russia, or America. After all, religion does not interest you… The most zealous Jews are the atheists. This proves that it is a lie that they are atheist, even if they say they are. I have written extensively about The Protocols of the Elders of Zion, and about the writings of the late Dr. Abd Al-Wahhab Al-Massiri. I have seen the evidence provided by those who deny that The Protocols is genuine, and those who affirm that it is. If you compare the evidence of the deniers, like Dr. Abd Al-Wahhab Al-Massiri, with the evidence of the affirmers, the latter is stronger. What is incredible is that those who deride the affirmers for believing that everything is a conspiracy and that the Jews are behind everything are themselves accusing Czarist Russia’s secret services of a conspiracy. [T]he education that they [Jews] impart to their children – based upon the Talmudic notions of contempt for others, killing others, practising usury, and considering themselves superior – is what turned them into a people with hatred for the others. That is why they ran secret organizations and secret parties, and why they practised prostitution, usury, and so on. Take a look at the Armenians. They do not have organized prostitution. How come they did not form secret parties, like the Freemasons or the Illuminati? The Armenians were not persecuted by the Ottomans. That [persuecution is] a lie. On the contrary, it was the Armenians who persecuted the Muslims of the Ottoman state. We should be talking about the Armenian massacre of the Muslims, not vice versa. I could talk for an entire show about that, backing it up with documents, and with the testimony of people sent by the League of Nations. Who is not familiar with Charlie Chaplin? Mamduh ‘Udwan mentions in his book that Charlie Chaplin is a Jew. Sarah Bernhardt, the greatest actress in the history of France and Europe, was Jewish. Madame Curie from Poland [is] famous than her husband because she was Jewish, while her husband, who invented radium and uranium with her, was not. But Madam Curie, who was Jewish, became famous… Take, for example, Oppenheimer, who invented the nuclear bomb. A Bengali Muslim invented it along with him, but he didn’t become famous. Everybody knows Oppenheimer as the “Father of the Nuclear Bomb. When you check the writings of writers and journalists, you always see the Jews, because the media is controlled by Jewish companies, such as Rupert Murdoch, the owner of CNN. He is a Jew. Even Reuters… Do you know what Reuters’ full name was? Israel Reuters. That is Reuters – the most famous news agency in the world.” Comment: Sickening isn’t it.
2013, 1st Oct. Abstracted “Egyptian channel one”. Egyptian TV host Khaled Al-Abraq: [In the 1973 war], the Israeli Jews slashed open our soldiers’ bellies, chopped them to pieces, and ran them over with tanks. Gentlemen, our external enemy will forever be Israel …They may try to invent other enemies for us, but the real enemy will remain [Israel]… They always taught us at school that our enemy is Israel. I don’t know who they say is our enemy in today’s schools. They pick a different enemy every couple of days. I am astonished to hear people say that we will not allow anyone to attack Egypt… I thought that they were talking about Israel, but they were talking about Hamas! Gentlemen, your enemy is Israel. Your enemy is Israel. Your enemy is Israel for all eternity. That’s what it is. [Israel] is an enemy. This is what I teach my son and what he will teach his son.” Comment: And so on throughout the generations.
2013 23rd Oct. Abstracted “Fox News”. A Palestinian children’s educational magazine extols the “sharp wit and wisdom” of Adolf Hitler – by wrongly attributing 10 quotes to the Nazi leader. Comment: anti-semitism and lies. A typical Islamic combination.
2013, 15th Nov. Abstracted “Arutz Sheva”. Palestinian sheikh, Omar Abu Sara’a: “For Jews, we do not have but the sword and by extension we need to hold an all-out war against them and not talk with them.” Comment: Note that this call for a war-of-extermination is against Jews – not Israelis, “Zionists” or any other (notional) sub-set of Jews. This ‘noble Sheikh’ is calling for genocide of the entire Jewish people – wherever they live.
On homophobia.
2013, Sept. 29th. Abstracted “Washington Times”. Gambian President Yahya Jammeh at UN general assembly: “Those who promote homosexuality want to put an end to human existence. It is becoming an epidemic and we Muslims and Africans will fight to end this behavior. Homosexuality in all its forms and manifestations which, though very evil, anti-human as well as anti-Allah, is being promoted as a human right by some powers… The Gambia is a country of believers … sinful and immoral practices [such] as homosexuality will not be tolerated in this country.” Comment: yet more death threats against homosexuals.
2013, 15th Oct. Abstracted “Pink News”. The Chairman of the Islamic Centre in Luton U.K., Abdul Qadeer Baksh during a radio interview on BBC Three Counties: “In an ideal society [there would be] punishments for homosexuals… When I say ‘ideal society’ I mean Islamic society, not a western secular society like we live in here. Every moderate Muslim holds this view as well. [Britain] is far from an Islamic state”. Comment: Only the Sharia-compliant society is “ideal” and it “punishes” (kills) homosexuals. Also all moderate Muslims agree with this attitude – even if they say something else to Kafirs of course.
2013, 8th Nov. Abstracted “Pink News”. Zimbabwean Mufti Ismail Menk : “… with all due respect to the animals, [gay people] are worse than those animals. Remember, we are saying, with all due respect to the animals, because to the animals it is an insult to them to even suggest this to them. Automatically the pigs and the dogs do not engage in this (homosexuality)”. He has also claimed that consenting gay sex is as bad as “rape”. He is touring British Universities and Islamic centres in Nov. 2013. Comment: Yet another homophobic Muslim preacher. But (in a way) what bothers me most is the fact that the UK allows him to enter the Country and were he non-Muslim that would never happen (c.f. Geller and Spencer who’s views are less obnoxious – whatever you might think of them – than this guy).
On the status and treatment of Muslim women.
2013, 28th Sept. abstracted “ncr-Iran”. Senior cleric Ali Jannati: “why is it that female students who want to study take off their Islamic dress after they enter the university and taint themselves? [These] students want a good grade and will do anything for it. ” Comment: Once again an Islamic “cleric” implies that un-veiled women are immoral.
2013, 8th Oct. Saudi Skeikh Ghazi bin Abdul-Aziz bin Khalaf al-Shammari on his radio show on hearing that a married woman had gone to a business meeting [shock, horror!] without asking her husband’s permission first [Shudder! Gasp!] said that the caller “should divorce his wife immediately for “committing such a mistake against her home and husband…Such a wife is suspicious because she insisted to travel alone to Riyadh and without ample reason [and] there is no wise husband who accepts a wife of this type.” Comment: Oddly his show isn’t titled “the 7th century misogynist”.
2013, 15th Oct. Abstracted “Gatestone”. Britain: the television program ITV Exposure secretly recorded 18 Muslim imams agreeing to perform Islamic marriage, known as a nikah, between a 14-year-old girl and an older man. Campaigners against forced marriage say thousands of underage girls — including some under the age of five — are being forced to marry against their will in Muslim nikahs every year, and that the examples exposed by the documentary represent just “the tip of the iceberg.” The imams who agreed to marry the girl openly mocked the legitimacy of British law, reflecting the rise of a parallel Islamic legal system in Britain. Comment: This should be no surprise: in Islamic eyes only Sharia law has any legitimacy.
2013, 3rd Nov. Taken from the website article “”Marriage is a gift of God” of Canadian Maulana Syed Mohammad Zaki Baqri: “She [the wife] needs to have the permission of her husband for a number of things, including, leaving the home…communicating and speaking with others…” Comment: that gives the lie to Islam being a backward, misogynistic religion doesn’t it! (For Muslim readers: the comment is IRONIC.)
On Slavery
2013, 19th Nov. Abstracted “NY Times”. Mauritania: despite claims that “slavery has been abolished in Mauritania for decades” it is still thought that 140,000 or more of the nation’s 3.8 million people are enslaved (~3.6% of the total population) according to the 2013 Global Slavery Index. The good news is Mauritania has set up a new agency to “deal with” the what the government sees as the “vestiges” of slavery. The bad news is that all previous attempts to address the issue have failed due to a “see no slavery, hear no slavery” attitude that tacitly condones slavery, even though it is (technically) illegal. Comment: The only real difference is that Mauritania is more honest than other Muslim Countries about it’s use of slaves.
Ordinary Muslims don’t support these views! … Do they?
2013, 14th Sept. Abstracted “La Republic”. A french soldier was assaulted twice by the same Mussalman who first reproached the soldier for “defending the interests of France in Mali” and in the second assault “that he had no business intervening against the jihadists”. The soldiers injuries were sufficiently serious that he needed hospital treatment. Comment: In this Muslim’s eyes, you have no right to defend anyone (including yourself) against Jihad .
2013, 31st Oct. Abstracted “Daily Mail”. Mohammed Riaz Inayat has been found guilty of ‘honour-murdering’ his wife over his daughter’s plans to marry a man he disapproved of. What is perhaps sad (for Mo that is) is that the daughter who “dishonoured” his family survived her injuries whilst his wife was killed and another daughter suffered 50% burns to her body. [I bet she won’t marry someone Daddy doesn’t like – ah, of course she’s unlikely to marry anyone now she’s disfigured.] In a typical piece of Taqiyya, Inayet tried to blame it on “white racists” claiming the inferno was the result of a “gang led by a white woman”.
2013, 11th Nov. Abstracted “Mail Online”. U.K. A Muslim convert was heard chanting that he wanted to kill non-believers hours before going on a knife rampage and trying to kill a police officer and firemen. Comment: Another Mussalman succumbs to “Sudden Jihad Syndrome” – aka taking Islam seriously and becoming an orthodox Muslim.
Not categorised or multi-category.
2013 7th Oct. Abstracted “Israel National News”. Saudi cleric and poet Muhammad Al-Farraj: “Adolf Hitler had a blessed way of burning you [Russions], o rotting nation. He would rain bombs on your land from planes and gas jets spreading a red mist over the frozen Volga River. How many times have I read, in delight and relief, what he did to you on those tremendous days, if I were allowed to pray for a non-Muslim I would have prayed for the soul of the Nazi leader who barbecued you and the Jews through and through with gasoline.” Comment: quite a mix here: specific Jew-hatred and hatred of Russians, but note the touch of al-wara wal-bara in “if I were allowed to pray for a non-Muslim” so basically “I hate everybody who isn’t Muslim” because there’s no room for anyone or anything un-Islamic in Islam. Clearly Al-Farraj is a “true-believer” orthodox Muslim then.
2013, 16th Oct. Abstracted “AsiaNews”. Christians, especially those working in aid agencies, are being driven from Libya due to marauding Islamist gangs who subject non-Muslims to robbery and violence. The catholic Church believes it faces an existential threat in Libya. Only Tripoli is safe for non-Muslims at the present time. Comment: attacks on non-Muslim aid workers are in accordance with al-Wara wal-bara, plus there is the persecution of non-Muslims who are seen fit only to be plundered by orthodox Muslims.
2013, 29th Oct. Abstracted “Daily Muslim”. Yemeni sheikh Abdul Majeed al-Zindani, the Rector of al-Iman [“the faith”] University and sixteen other religious leaders and political figures signed a fatwa aimed at eliminating the minimum age of marriage in Yemen claiming the minimum age law had no basis in Islam and actually contradicts sharia, which is the foundation of law in Yemen. When Yemeni newspapers printed the controversial Danish cartoons of Muhammad that stirred riots across the world, al-Zindani immediately pressed charges against all of them. Al-Zindani is also a supporter of al-Qaeda, he has served as a spiritual guide for many of al Qaeda’s most notorious members, including sheikh Osama bin Laden. al-Zindani also founded a charity that terrorist Anwar al-Awlaki served as vice president. He also has links to terror group Ansar al-Islam. Comment: a real all-rounder in the “true-believer” stakes: misogynist, paedophile, “kill-all-those-who-insult Mohammed-even-if-they’re-Muslims” and terrorism. He really ticks all the boxes!
2013, 4th Nov. Abstracted “Daily Mail”. A prominent Muslim leader, Chowdury Mueen-Uddin, living in Britain was today sentenced to death by hanging by a Bangladesh war crimes tribunal for the murder of 18 people including nine university professors, six journalists (one from the BBC) and three physicians in December 1971 during Bangladesh’s war of independence in which Uddin was accused for working with the Pakistan government and an Islamic militia called Al-Badr for whom he was described by prosecutors as being the ‘chief executor’. Uddin is a former director of Muslim Spiritual Care in the NHS and a trustee of Muslim Aid, the UK’s leading Islamic charity. Comment: This one really needs it’s own head “Spot the moderate” perhaps. It’s really hard to tell the difference between a “moderate” and an orthodox Muslim it seems.
2013, 23rd Nov. Abstracted “Global Times”. Seven Taliban were busy making mines inside a mosque in Shirzad district of the eastern Nangarhar province but their device exploded killing all the seven on the spot. Comment: Another Mosque = bomb factory and yet Muslims insist that non-Muslims treat Mosques with huge respect, refrain from monitoring them etc.
Mostly for laughs.
Its not all doom and gloom in the Dar-ul-Islam. Some things are just too funny for me to ignore …
2013, 29th Sept. Abstracted “Daily mail”. Saudi Sheikh Salah al-Luhaydan: “[Driving] could have a reverse physiological impact [on women]. Physiological science and functional medicine studied this [and found] that it automatically affects ovaries and rolls up the pelvis. This is why we find for women who continuously drive cars their children are born with clinical disorders of varying degrees.” 25th Oct, abstracted “Emirates247” Scholars also say that women driving will lead to suspicious husbands and divorce. Comment: needless to say, this bit of ‘science’ only affects Muslim women and only Saudis at that. What this really shows is that too much Islamic ‘education’ is clearly damaging to your mental health and not having your wives totally under your thumb is deeply stressful to orthodox Mussalmen.
