Geopolitics of Islam Links 1 for Nov 10 – 2014

1. Thailand to push back more than 200 boat people: police

(The wealthy and secure who live in nice safe neighborhoods will inevitably make obvious but specious historical comparisons to global treatment of the Jewish exodus from Nazi lands. It will not occur to them, and neither likely will they listen to facts such as, Jews where not attacking the countries they sought refuge in and demanding their own state under Jewish supremacy laws, and neither did Jews have over 50 countries they could go to which already were Jewish, and Jews were not thrown out or intimidated out of Nazi lands because of how the behaved towards the rest of the population in Nazi controlled areas, due to Jewish rules or instructions)

Their discovery around 3 km (1.86 miles) from the coast follows what one NGO said was a “major maritime exodus” from neighboring Myanmar of Rohingya, a mostly stateless Muslim minority group from the country’s west.

“On average around 900 people left by boat from the middle of last month. We saw a major maritime exodus of nearly 10,000 people,” said Chris Lewa of the Arakan Project, a Rohingya advocacy group, adding that increasing desperation was one reason for the departures.

3. Here is an article from 2005 detailing Al-Qaeda’s expectations over the coming years. Check item 5 especially.

The Fifth Phase This will be the point at which an Islamic state, or caliphate, can be declared. The plan is that by this time, between 2013 and 2016, Western influence in the Islamic world will be so reduced and Israel weakened so much, that resistance will not be feared. Al-Qaida hopes that by then the Islamic state will be able to bring about a new world order.The Sixth Phase Hussein believes that from 2016 onwards there will a period of “total confrontation.” As soon as the caliphate has been declared the “Islamic army” it will instigate the “fight between the believers and the non-believers” which has so often been predicted by Osama bin Laden.

The Seventh Phase This final stage is described as “definitive victory.” Hussein writes that in the terrorists’ eyes, because the rest of the world will be so beaten down by the “one-and-a-half million Muslims,” the caliphate will undoubtedly succeed. This phase should be completed by 2020, although the war shouldn’t last longer than two years.

4. Turkish minister to Israel: Leave al-Aqsa or we’ll send you packing

Turkey’s European Union Affairs Minister Volkan Bozk?r slammed Israel for an incursion into al-Aqsa Mosque, telling the Israeli soldiers to leave the sacred site at once.

“I am sending this message to those soldiers who enter [al-Aqsa Mosque] with their boots: If you don’t leave it immediately, we will hand you your boots and watch you run away,” Bozk?r was quoted by private Do?an news agency as telling a meeting of his Justice and Development Party (AK Party) in the southwestern province of Burdur on Sunday.

5. York security warns AMSA of potential backlash to upcoming event

The Ahmadiyya Muslim Students’ Association at York has reportedly received warnings from security for potential backlash from students for its upcoming event, Stop the CrISIS.

An emergency meeting was called on November 4 to discuss the event, and due to an overwhelming response, the event will move from Vari Hall to Curtis Lecture Hall. 

AMSA executives, members of risk management services at York, York security, and information technology services were reportedly in this emergency meeting.

6. Firebomb on Kosher Eatery in Paris

Several Muslims called the diners at the restaurant ‘dirty Jews’ before the firebomb was thrown.

Several minutes earlier, some young Muslims who walked by the restaurant threatened the diners inside and called them “dirty Jews.” The diners did not react.

A few minutes passed, and a loud smash was heard when a firebomb hit the restaurant’s door. The diners managed to see a group of Muslims running away as the firebomb ignited, starting a fire, which the restaurant’s employees succeeded in putting out. None of the restaurant-goers was hurt.
