The Global Muslim Brotherhood Daily Report
MEMRI has reported on remarks by Egyptian cleric Wagdi Ghneim, which aired on Al-Jazeera TV on January 12th and which praise violent Jihad and Hamas leader Ismail Haniya as well as criticizing the U.S. and Europe as "Godless" nations. According to the MEMRI translation:
Interviewer: We are used to seeing you in certain clothing, but today, you are wearing what looks like an army uniform. Why?
Wagdi Ghneim: I wanted to hold a submachine gun as well, but didn't know where to get one. I wanted to show you that although we are preachers and Islamic scholars, we are the leaders of the nation as well. Just as we lead the nation with regard to ablution and prayer, people need to see us on the scene in times of Jihad. Brother, I tell you with all honesty that this is not where I should be. My place is not in the studio, with a suit and tie, or in the university, lecturing about ablutions. No, my brother. My natural place is in Palestine. This should be true for all of us. The religious scholars should lead the way. People follow us, and we say: Come to Jihad" - because we are the nation of Jihad.
[...] Some religious scholars feel ashamed to utter the word "Jihad," because anybody who uses that word today is labeled a terrorist. No way! If anybody calls me a terrorist, I stick a finger in his eye, and say: "You are the enemy of Allah."
[...] Take a look at the representatives of Islam and the Muslims. They greet the criminals who are killing our sons, our wives, and our children, who are destroying our mosques, and occupying our sacred land. They greet them - and with what friendliness and love! They kiss them - not just a regular kiss... It's more like sucking than kissing. May Allah send you to the same place as them. Do you love them so much that you talk to them, kiss them, and hug them?
[...] I was filled with pride when I heard the speech of my brother Ismail Haniya. I was proud of him even beforehand. Have you ever seen a prime minister who delivers Friday sermons, and who quotes the Koran and hadiths by heart? Some rulers have their quotations written down for them, but still make mistakes. [Haniya] quotes the Koran and hadiths, he prostrates himself in public. He sits on the ground - I have his picture. I've seen the furniture in his home - mine is better. I've seen his son play with his Playstation - even my son has a better version. This is the man who is fighting today. This is our role model.
[...] Interviewer: Some people in various Arab and Islamic countries - including Egypt, Saudi Arabia, Indonesia, and Malaysia - are calling to boycott American and Israeli products. Do you think this is an effective weapon?
Wagdi Ghneim: Of course, it is a very strong weapon! [In the West], my dear brother, they know no God. The god of America is the dollar, and the god of Europe is the euro. These people have no religion... When an American wakes up in the morning, he cares about two things only - whether the stores are full of products, and what the price of gas is. That's it. Nothing else interests him. There are people [in America] who do not know where Iraq is, or what the names of the Arab countries are. Once, they conducted a survey - I don't remember the exact figures - but they did not know the name of their president. They were asked who their president was, and they said that they didn't know.
As previous posts have discussed, this individual is likely the same individual known in the U.S. as Wagdy Mohamed Ghoneim (aka Wagdi Ghuniem) an Egyptian cleric closely tied to the global Muslim Brotherhood and who has been a frequent speaker or invited speaker at Brotherhood events including those sponsored by the U.S. Muslim Brotherhood, Union of Islamic Organizations in Italy (UCOII), the Islamic Cultural Centre of Ireland (ICCI), and the League of Swiss Muslims. Known for his anti-semitic speeches, global media have also reported that he is closely associated with Hamas. Mr. Ghoneim had been living in the U.S. until January 2005 when he agreed to be voluntarily deported to Qatar based upon Department of Homeland Security concerns that his past speeches and participation in fund-raising activities could be supportive of terrorist organizations. As a previous post discussed, following Mr. Ghoneim's deportation to Qatar, he relocated to Bahrain where he was said to be the first Muslim Brotherhood member to be granted citizenship due to his "high weight of scientific, religious and cultural contributions to the service of the nation's media." According to another MEMRI report, an editor of a Bahrain newspaper published an article accusing Ghoneim of " incitement to extremism and of igniting ethnic war in the country." The editor was later arrested and release in connection with the article. Article printed with permission from The Global Muslim Brotherhood Daily Report.
whats wrong with having these
whats wrong with having these radical clerics who encourage muslims to murder non muslims assasinated? The world will be a better place if these animals are assasinated
Jihad does not mean to fight
Jihad does not mean to fight against non Muslims. Jihad means to resist evil forces prevailing in societies. But most of the Muslim schollars (especially those who have some political motivations or those who claim to be schollar but know nothing) mispresent this terminology.For example, the economy of the whole world is pledged into the hands of a few people.They are united and do not let their wealth loose to the others. They use all the resorces of the world and create poverty and deprivation. All of us are victim of such people.
These evils are united but we, the affectees are not. They take advantage of this and feel easy to do what they want.
There should be a common awareness of their tactics and constant struggle against such people to keep the balance of economy, but we do not do so.We should develop such economical methods that may help us to have an economic uniformicity.If we do so, that would be jihad.
Anything to do with islam is
Anything to do with islam is fuckt as long it is for religion ritual why not but islam it is not a religion but a dangerouse sect put together by a maniac and the biggest con man that ever existed I mean to con 1,3 billion people is quiet a con. Islam is on is way out it is so sick that only the sick or the very poor or the uneducated ones still go for this fellowship or sect. Anyway with half a brain cant bite into islam after reading the koran. Its black and it is a evil sect. It against live and denies everything that god as created. It hates everything that is beautifull including sex and relationship with the opposite sex, to such a extend that real muslim feel love for man more then for woman but feel lust for man woman or beast. It is so disgusting that everything they believe in is sick everything they say is white is black. They say the west dont have moral but they cant look at a woman without wanting to split her in half so were are there moral. To be a muslim make you separated from anyone else. Islam is finisch some so calld moderated muslim are trying to apply islam in there modern world but it is just the begining of the end of this evil sect thanks god. Live and islam dont mix there for it is a goner because live is much stronger then a few hundred year old con.
dear humans(if u r) if we
dear humans(if u r)

Egyptian cleric Wagdi Ghneim
Egyptian cleric Wagdi Ghneim is a true muslim. He is honest and tells it like what Allah says in the Quran.
Sorry Imtiaz but you do not know what islam really teaches; either that or you are a faker!
If "Jihad does not mean to fight against non Muslims.", then what was the muslim army doing in Spain and right up to the gates of Vienna? Yes "Jihad means to resist evil forces prevailing in societies." which according to muslims is to kill those who speaks out against islam.
C'mon kid, don't try to kid us! You may use our terminologies/words but they have a wholly different meaning for muslims. For instance, "Islam is a religion of peace", yeah right, but to muslims it means "islam is a religion of peace WHEN ALL religion is for Allah.
"But most of the Muslim schollars (especially those who have some political motivations or those who claim to be schollar but know nothing) mispresent this terminology."
Rubbish! For the muslims there is no separation between religion and politics. In fact, there is no separation in anything - even down to the tinest thing like which foot to put into the toilet first. All muslims must do their best to usher in Shariah Law. Ergo, all muslims are politians one way or another.
"For example, the economy of the whole world is pledged into the hands of a few people.They are united and do not let their wealth loose to the others. They use all the resorces of the world and create poverty and deprivation. All of us are victim of such people."
Here we go again! Racism against the Jews! The Jewish Protocol as stated in the Wisdom of the Elders of Zionism, eh?
"These evils are united but we, the affectees are not. They take advantage of this and feel easy to do what they want."
Oh, what's the matter bud - are we playing the victim again?
"There should be a common awareness of their tactics and constant struggle against such people to keep the balance of economy, but we do not do so.We should develop such economical methods that may help us to have an economic uniformicity."
No man, your backwardness is caused by your own mindset which is in the 7th century whilst trying to solve problems of the 21st century. You can't keep up with the rest of us so you invent various conspirationary theories.
Tell me, how the hack can u keep up when you keep disturbing yourselves with prayers 5 times a day and other inane rituals?
"If we do so, that would be jihad." LOL.....kid, you have been fed THE LIE; just like all the other dumb-dumbs who don't know what islam is all about.
Cheers and have a nice day!
If Jihad means to fight
If Jihad means to fight against evil then join in this fight against the evil of Islam...Islam is the biggest enemy of Humankind...Islam is fuelled by hate splashed all over the quran...so come on help us fight this menace...
@ Learning: You prove once
@ Learning:
You prove once more that islam is a fascist ideology. Fascism is based on the principle: "If you do'nt agree with my ideology I will jail you or torture you or kill you".
And your rotten ideology can also serve to kill your own muslim brothers who do not agree with you. More muslims are killed by other muslims than by kouffars.
Like an islam apostate wrote: "Islam cannot survive without bloodshed because it thrives on blood".
Islam is indeed a Dracula ideology.
And that islam does not separate politics from religion -- we know that because islam works against all democratic principles. The only group of people that provide for constant hassle in the West are the muslims. And when we do'nt accept their stupid, corrupt and bloody ideology they call us islamophobes or racists. Another good reason to justify their killing thirst.
How comme Allah created only ennemies for the moslims? Because Allah is a god of hate reflecting nothing else than the thinking and the actions of an insane illiterate bedouin of the seventh century.

Dear Abu,
Israel wants to be left alone; as in don't send me your suicide bombers, don't send me your rockets. But would Hamas listen? No, Hamas has written in its manifesto that it will destroy Israel. And true to its word, it is attempting to do just that. Hopefully after the Gaza War, Hamas will learn not to disturb Israel again.
Cheers and have a nice day!
