Bosnian muslims warn of Saudi funded ‘extremist’ mosques

Comments on YT are disabled for this video. Unsurprisingly. So I am giving this its own post so people can comment here. It is quite an interesting video with a good collection of under informed analysis and half truths but thats a half a truth more than we usually get about Islam.

To kick off the comments, the statement by the narrator that says that these moderate imams made a categorical and unequivocal condemnation of the Islamic State is false.

In Islam, they would have to declare them “takfiri” or not true muslims. And so far, none of the imams who do the ‘Islamic State is not the true Islam’ have said that. So it means nothing.

When they call them out, it means something in islam. It is in fact, a capitol offense to be a fake muslim, and is exactly what the Islamic State uses to justify its wholesale murder of Shiia muslims when the opportunity presents.

Also one wonders if the sudden flurry of news about KSA funded extremist mosques, something people who have been paying attention to for a really long time, is coincedentally being made and released at the same time that the US Senate passed a bill allowing Americans to sue that despotic and horrifyingly anti-freedom nation for its obvious role in the 911 attacks.

However should it be proven and known that the Saudis had a direct hand in it, one might would think suing people who you give $40B a day to for oil (assuming a $100/brl price) i a stupid solution, as it would just mean paying a few million less to them. Instead, a kinetic solution they would feel twice as much. That would actually have an impact.

Austria: Bosnian Football fans chant “Kill the Jews”

Original translation excerpt by Carpe Diem with much thanks!

From this Austrian News site:

Heute.at reports [1]:

Last Tuesday, [March 31 2015] up to 20,000 Bosnians, many of them living in Austria for years, have watched the friendly match between the national football teams of Austria and Bosnia-Herzegovina in Vienna. Prior to the game, many Bosnian fans gathered at the Stephan’s Square (Stephansplatz) in the city centre of Austria’s capital. Besides the usual shouting of slogans and the use of pyrotechnics, some Bosnians joined a Pro-Palestine rally, waving flags and chanting “Ubi, ubi, ubi židove” – “Kill, kill, kill the Jews”.

Watch the video from second 33:

State Protection, who had a monitoring vehicle at the scene, are now investigating against at least a dozen participants. They are accused of hate speech and incitement to murder.

TERROR IN BOSNIA, GUNMAN FIRES UPON US EMBASSY


Bosnian television identified the man, bearded and carrying a Kalashnikov assault rifle, as 23-year-old Mevlid Jasarevic, a Serbian citizen from the mainly Muslim town of Novi Pazar.

It said he had been visiting a community of hardline Islamists in northern Bosnia. A Reuters photograph of the gunman showed a tall man with a brown coat and a long beard.

Bosnia, which was torn apart by war between Bosniaks (Bosnian Muslim), Croats and Serbs in 1992-95 as Yugoslavia collapsed, is considered a strong ally of the United States in the turbulent Balkans.

Bakir Izetbegovic, the Muslim member of Bosnia’s tripartite presidency, condemned the attack, saying the United States was a “proven friend” of Bosnia.

“The American government and people have supported us in the most difficult moments of our history, and nobody has the right to endanger the friendly relations between our two countries,” he said in a statement.

A police spokesman said the gunman had been taken to hospital for treatment but that his injuries were not life-threatening. A hospital spokeswoman said a man had been admitted under police escort with gunshot wounds to his upper leg.

“The doctors are conducting a medical intervention and the man is expected to be escorted from hospital by the police in next two to three hours,” said spokeswoman Biljana Jandric.

Embassy officials said the building had gone into “lockdown” during the assault, and no one in the embassy had been hurt.

Police spokesman Irfan Nefic said one police officer had been seriously wounded. He said police believed the gunman had acted alone, but that the investigation would reveal more.

The U.S. embassy in Sarajevo, a mainly Muslim city, closed briefly in March 2002 citing an unspecified threat, but the building has not come under attack before.
