Leftism and Islam: Links 1 for Sept. 25 – 2014

1. Obama praises Muslim cleric who backed fatwa on killing of U.S. soldiers

(Blogger, AKA Google, has placed an objectionable content warning at Blazing Cat Fur. I personally find that objectionable)

President Barack Obama favorably quoted and praised on Wednesday in his speech before the United Nations a controversial Muslim cleric whose organization has reportedly endorsed the terror group Hamas and supported a fatwa condoning the murder of U.S. soldiers in Iraq.

Obama in his remarks offered praise to controversial cleric Sheikh Abdallah Bin Bayyah and referred to him as a moderate Muslim leader who can help combat the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant’s (ISIL or ISIS) radical ideology.

2. Michael Coren: Islamic state not islamic?

3. Former NSA Chief Calls NSA Data Sharing “Biggest Threat Since Civil War”

The NSA peeks and pries into our lives in countless ways, violating our privacy and ignoring the Fourth Amendment. But a former NSA chief says one agency activity endangers Americans more than the rest: the routine sharing of warrantless data with state and local law enforcement.

In an interview earlier this month, William Binney called NSA information sharing “the most threatening situation to our constitutional republic since the Civil War.”

Binney served as Technical Director of the World Geopolitical and Military Analysis Reporting Group for the NSA and was considered one of the best analysts and code breakers ever employed by the agency. He quit abruptly after 9/11 due to the NSA’s increasing focus on domestic spying in the wake of the attacks.

4. Fjordman: Myths about Islamic terrorism

It can become quite tiresome to refute the same falsehoods repeatedly. On behalf of the Obama Administration, in September 2014 the US Secretary of State John Kerry made a plea to wipe out poverty and improve health and education as the most powerful antidote to the “toxic” beliefs of Islamic extremists.

The Marxist-inspired argument that Islamic terrorism is caused by poverty is plain wrong and has been disproven many times. Several studies indicate that Islamic terrorist have above-average education and at least average income. Some come from very wealthy families. Osama bin Laden grew up in Saudi Arabia as a son of a billionaire. Saudi Arabia was never under European colonial rule. Instead, it is the cradle of one of the world’s most brutal imperialist traditions, the Arab cultural imperialism we call Islam.

5. “I’ll have a veggie burka with tons of mustard”

(Indian muslims try to kill woman wearing a vegetable burka to make a point about animal slaughter. You can see it after 2:15 or so)

6. British govt. does a little ‘catch and release’ poetical theater with Anjem Choudary‘

(I doubt he will see one night on the inside but miracles do happen)

The men, who were all seized in London, were arrested as part of an investigation into Islamist terrorism

Thank you Tundra T., M., and all of you. More to come including the stupidest report on ‘radicalization’ in the history of journalism.

Does Islam really forbid the killing of others?

Posted on by

In recent debates I have seen between various people representing muslims and the rest of the world, most recently thanks to the atrocities committed by the Islamic State, I have seen the same line quoted from koran by nearly all who wish to make it appear that Islam doesn’t sanction the killing of others no matter what the faith or group of the victim.

I wanted to link to the best article I have read on the subject so far which was written by Sonia Bailley but couldn’t find it. So I asked her if she would be kind enough to send it to me and allow me to republish it here so that I can find it and link to it in future when needs be. Which will likely be quite a bit.

Thank you very much Sonia

Saving All of Humanity in Islam? Not!

By Sonia Bailley

How typically deceptive it is when Muslims refer to koranic verse 5:32 claiming that saving one human being is like saving all of humanity. This analogy applies only when a Muslim is killed by a Jew. Muslims are attempting to prove that Islam cares about people of all religious faiths. It doesn’t.

First, verse 5:32 is Jewish in origin — it comes from Judaism, from the Jerusalem Talmud (Sanhedrin 4:1, 22a), and it refers to and protects people of ALL religions, unlike the koranic verse that followed later on. This is far from the only Islamic verse or concept snatched from Judaism. Others were pilfered from Christianity and Zoroastrianism.

Koranic verse 5:32 was meant only for Jews to follow, and protects Muslims in that Jews are forbidden to kill them. Jews are referred to explicitly at the beginning of the verse: “we decreed for the Children of Israel”.

Second, the purpose of this verse was not to instill or reveal benevolence in the Muslim, but rather to place aggressive restrictions on Jews regarding whom they can kill without punishment: Jews can only kill (a) in retaliation for manslaughter, and (b) non-Muslims for causing “corruption in the earth“ or fitna (Islam not being followed).

What the verse really says is that if a Jew kills a Muslim, it’s as if the Jew kills all of humanity, akin to genocide. In reality this quote justifies Islamic discrimination by protecting only Muslims from being killed, and places Jews under constant threat of heavy retaliation should one Jew kill a Muslim (see 5:33 below). Other koranic verses (and Islamic texts) reveal there is no manslaughter involved when Muslims kill non-Muslims.

When you cherry-pick from verse 5:32, as most Muslims do (and as Obama did in his Cairo speech in June 2009), it appears to condemn the killing of ALL humans by anyone. This is why parts of the verse are always purposely omitted by proselytizers of Islam when attempting to convert others. However, when understood in its entirety, this koranic verse permits and encourages the killing of non-Muslims by Jews.

If, as Muslims claim (based on 5:32), they cannot kill anyone of any religion, then you would expect, at the very least, that they not kill other Muslims. However, take a look around the world. Pick any country where death, oppression and destruction run rampant. You will see the extent to which Muslims with the power to kill (like ISIS) care about Muslims who are not considered to be Muslim enough (like Shiite or Ahmadi Muslims), let alone people of other religions, in order to avoid fitna (a state of disorder due to people not following Islam).

Here is koranic verse 5:32, which should be read in its entirety: “For that cause, we decreed for the Children of Israel, that whoever kills a human for reasons other than manslaughter or corruption in the earth, it shall be as if he had killed all mankind. And whoever saves the life of one, it shall be as if he had saved the life of all mankind. Our messengers came to them with clear proofs (of Allah’s sovereignty), but afterwards lo! Many of them become transgressors of the earth.”

Here is the next verse, 5:33, showing how to punish the disbelievers of Islam: “Indeed, the penalty for those who wage war against Allah and His Messenger and strive upon earth [to cause] corruption is none but that they be killed or crucified, or that their HANDS and FEET BE CUT OFF from opposite sides, or that they be exiled from the land. That is for them a disgrace in this world; and for them in the Hereafter is a great punishment.”

“Saving one human is like saving all of humanity” applies only when that human being is a Muslim. A life is worthy only when it follows Islam. Otherwise, it just doesn’t matter.

BREAKING: One shot dead, two stabbed in Melbourne

SKY NEWS:

(Video at site)

A man has been shot dead in Melbourne’s southeast after reportedly making threats against Prime Minister Tony Abbott.

News Corp Australia reports a Victoria police officer and Australian Federal Police agent were stabbed by an 18-year-old man in a car they pulled over outside the Endeavour Hills police station yesterday evening.

It reports that a Victorian police officer shot dead the alleged attacker.

News Corp reports the dead man was a person of interest in a counter-terrorism operation and had been under surveillance.

There is intelligence that suggests the dead man had been waving an Islamic State flag.

Victoria Police say both officers are in a stable condition.

Full presentation of Sister Hatune Dogan from Sept. 12 2014

Posted on by

This was an editing job fraught with tough decisions. The most difficult was whether or not to leave in the section where she shows her slides and videos that I know for a fact would get this video pulled down from Youtube under its current modus operandi. I do not know exactly why beheading and mutilation videos of jihadis manage to stay up on Youtube indefinitely while videos which show that they are doing this and why get pulled often very fast but I still do not think its a conspiracy by Google so much as islamic and leftist activism flagging videos with harsh content that make Islam look bad under certain contexts.

My answer then, was to leave that section of her presentation in because frankly, her description of the photos and videos are probably nearly as effective as seeing them. My suggestion is to put on headphones or speakers and sit back and listen without watching that section of the presentation. I think you will find what the sister has to say quite moving. However I am uploading all the photos she used for her presentation and at some point probably the videos as well. So you can click through the gallery as the presentation is being made and see what the live audience is seeing. Some of these pictures are harsh though and the warning for those that have PTSD not to look is real and not for dramatic effect.

A brief look at what sharia law looks like in the UK

Posted on by

Most people are appalled by sharia because of its draconian punishments. Personally I find that absolutely the least problematic aspect of it.

Earlier today I happened to have the chance to chat with a friend about the nature of sharia and I asked him honestly, “what is wrong with beheading and cutting off the hands of thieves?”

He was flabbergasted that I would even ask that and was stuck for an answer. I pointed out that in fact we incarcerate thieves and in the US we execute some people. While I do agree that amputations etc. are not an acceptable form of punishment thats actually a rather academic problem in terms of the sharia.

The real problems are:

The nature of the charges

The process used to determine guilt or innocence

The systems used for the implementation of force in the event of a guilty verdict.

In the sharia, anyone can make an accusation, especially against an unbeliever. Not only can they be accuser, but they can also be the police, the judge, the jury and the executioner. The process for evidence is hearsay and the punishment is often death at the hands of the accuser on the spot.

Religious muslims see absolutely nothing wrong with that. For example, in the ultimate victimless crime of blasphemy, a person can be killed on the spot and the killer will be celebrated by the community. Even if there are no witnesses. Even if in reality, a muslim man borrowed a lawn mower from a Christian who wanted it back and so the accusation of blasphemy was leveled. No one will ask questions. And no one will check his garage.

So how would that look in its initial stages in England? Would people use force against someone who blasphemed? Which way would a Muslim expect the police to act? To side with the person who used grotesque force against a blasphemer or to side with the person who was attacked?

How close are Nazism, communism and Islam? Why does the far left support fascist Islam?

Posted on by

If any readers of this site has not yet seen the excellent and important movie, ‘The Soviet Story’, they would do well to do so. The movie makes the point that the differences between communism, international socialism, and Nazism, National Socialism, are quite subtle. One might even say somewhat like the difference between Shiia and Sunni Islam.

For example, the movie makes the case that Nazism was based on bad biology. Specifically that in the effort to create the new man, the perfected man, one had to take those who were already the perfected people and purify the territory. Namely Aryans of course. And once the homeland of the Aryans was pure they could start forcing those who could be perfected, the British and whatnot, and then exterminate all who could not be made into the perfect man.

This was the Nazi ideology. It could be seen in everything they did but one of the more telling, and yet goofy, analogies was their pseudo-science of ‘phrenology‘.

Like most people or groups that use top down thought, or perhaps better expressed as conclusion driven thinking, the Nazis employed any method or data points that could demonstrate their position while not only ignoring but actually making illegal and exterminating those who did real science that might show a conclusion in opposition to established Nazi dogma.

Communism or International Socialism uses a slight variant on that.

for example Communism also would eliminate or force into reeducation camps any science that did not support their conclusion based reasoning. For example, most people do not know that communism did not allow Darwinism to be taught or studied and all biology had to be based on their own communist evolutionary ideas, who’s survival of the fittest seemed far to capitalist in nature for International Socialism, a fellow named Lysenko and his crypto-science called ‘Lysenkoism’.

The communist idea was based on bad sociology. that there is three social classes. The perfect, ‘new man’ or the communist. Those who could be perfected into communists, which would be the capitalists, and those who could never be perfected because they had not even reached the stage of capitalism yet, and therefore had to be exterminated.

On this the Nazis and Communists were in full agreement. At least in terms of the Slavic peoples.

Then we have the Muslims.

They see the world in terms of three tiered religious thought. The perfect people, the muslims, who can do no actual wrong so long as their belief in islam and its dogma is demonstrably strong and they obey the ‘pirate’s code’ of sharia etc. Then you have those that can be perfected into muslims such as Christians and Jews as they are already more or less monotheistic from the point of view of Muslims and therefore are readily accepted into the islamic community if they convert before they have no choice. Sometimes even if they convert under pure torture or threat of death.

And then you have atheists, Hindus, Buddhists and other religious groups such as African animists or Amer-indians etc. These groups will likely be seen as not having reached mono-theism yet and therefore ripe for extermination. Just have a look at General Tamerlane’s expeditions into India for a sample of how muslims treated the Hindu’s which resulted in what is the largest genocide that has ever taken place in recorded history.

This isn’t to say that Muslims will not exploit divisions in our own societies using groups that have not ‘reached monotheism’ to advance their own supremacy. We saw this clearly in Ferguson where muslim agitators used classic islamic style chants to increase division between white and black Americans during a period of horrific instability there. But at the end of the day, one needs only look at Islamic history and even contemporary Islamic societies and use of African people as slaves to know how this will end for them.

Slavery or extermination. Probably a good deal of both.

Church of Lignon burned by “two young” immigrants who giggle and gloat

Original Translation by SIMONXML

From EURO-JIHAD

Published September 14, 2014 by EJ

It starts like in France: Lignon being a multi-ethnic city par excellence, listen to the video posted below to realize what joy diversity brings.

The church has been completely burned out. The remains of the wooden frame were demolished with a chainsaw to prevent them collapsing. “An important part of the heritage of Lignon dating from the 1960s just went up in smoke; it’s traumatic,” laments Yvan Rochat, the mayor of Vernier. “We will do our best to heal the wounds.” And, reassuringly, he adds: “The church has assured me that they are insured, that’s a good thing!”

In the news and according to a statement by the press service of the local police, the investigation following the fire appears to involve two young children. They have already been interviewed at the local police station in the presence of their parents and were allowed to return home. “It should be noted that due to their young age, they are not criminally responsible,” the statement added. The investigation is being continued by the juvenile police.

“Excellent, this shit church. Motherf**ckers.”

An original translation by SIMONXML

From this Dutch site:

By: Merijn Rengers, John Schoorl – 09/20/14, 07:01

The Public Prosecutor (OM) is investigating fraud and corruption in at least five major anti-radicalization projects. This has been revealed by investigations by the Dutch Volkskrant newspaper into the  misuse of subsidies to combat jihadism in the Netherlands.

According to a spokesperson for the OM there are two suspects in a criminal investigation into fraud involving subsidies provided by the Institute for Multicultural Affairs (FORUM). Those involved say that it concerns two anti-radicalization experts who were arrested on July 31 in The Hague

One is FORUM program manager and Labour politician Halim el Madkouri, the other the Hague Berber activist, Farid L. Shortly before his arrest, the latter had been seen by a number of undercover agents giving an envelope containing four thousand euros in cash to El Madkouri  in a coffee bar.

Short excerpt of presentation on Christian Persecution by Sister Hatune Dogan

Posted on by

This is a few minutes out of a 90 minute presentation given by the Turkish nun on Friday Sept. 12 2014.

I hope to have the whole presentation ready for viewing within a day or so. But meanwhile, this is a few minutes of it worth seeing.

Muslim day parade videos.

Guns. What other religion wants to do a march down a main street with plastic guns?

Muslim Brotherhood people and symbols at Muslim day parade

Please add any others of interest in the comments. One must admire the muslims though for revealing so much of their beliefs and agenda in this parade and slap our own heads for sanctimoniously refusing to see what we are being told.

Battling dissimulation about the Islamic State links: Sept. 15 – 2014

Posted on by

1. Stephen Crowder on, ‘How islamic is isis’

2. Uganda police seize ‘explosives from al-Shabab cell’

Authorities said the terrorist cell was planning to carry out imminent attacks in the capital Kampala.

Nineteen people have been arrested and are being interrogated about their intentions, a police spokesman said.

3. Thailand deaths: Two British tourists killed in Koh Tao

(This particular attack seems like it may have been personal. But clearly muslims have been trying to damage Thailand’s tourism as the bottom few paragraphs suggest)

Some 11 British nationals have been murdered in the country since 2009, according to the Foreign Office.

Official FCO advice warns that western tourists have been victims of “vicious, unprovoked attacks by gangs” on the nearby island of Koh Phangan.

4. ‘Islamic State fighter’ to go on trial in Germany

Prosecutors say Kreshnik Berisha received weapons training and combat experience with the jihadist militants over several months last year.

He was arrested at Frankfurt airport last December while on his way home.

The trial – the first in Germany for alleged membership of IS – comes amid growing alarm at the potential threat posed by jihadis returning to Europe.

5. Alan West interview on the state of the conflict with ‘islamo-fascism’

(Rep. West clearly is attempting to frame what he knows to be true into a package which is more widely salable. Even so he does an excellent job of it and manages to get some important truths out. One of them is that Netanyahu had predicted what would happen when Obama first started talking about troop withdrawal out of Iraq to Alan West)

6. Australian Muslim predictably claims fighting Islamic terrorists will increase hostility towards Australia by local muslims. 

(And fighting Nazi Germany tended to make Nazis living in the US more hostile. And fighting the cold war made communist agents within the US, especially Hollywood, more hostile. And fighting Chinese communists in Vietnam made all the chicken balls go more sour than sweet at communist sympathetic San Diego restaurants. And….)

7. This video claims to be of whimpering Islamic State fighters captured by someone or other.

(While this smacks a little of a kind of triumphalism, I do enjoy hearing these f*cks say something other than the usual aloha snackbar as they torture or kill someone and act like they have scored a winning touchdown in the Superbowl. More here)

8. China in middle of sweeping raids on child islamic indoctrination centers. Claims to have rescued over 190 children.

(The original article puts ‘rescues’ in scare quotes. But I think its a fair term under the circumstances)

9. Cruelty is Simply a Part of Islam, Says Expert

Islamic State’s head-chopping barbarity is not different from everyday Islamic cruelty, says Prof. Rafi Israeli.

10. Rotherham child-sex victim confronts her alleged abuser in the street… but SHE is arrested by a van load of police

(A few weeks ago, on the blogtalk radio program I host on Tuesday evenings (except this Tuesday) we spoke about vigilantism. What I said then holds well to this case. if the British judicial system was working well to represent the interests of the victims, to be a deterrent to criminals, and generally the pubic believed in the state’s ability to deliver justice and keep people safe, then she should have been arrested if she violently confronted her abuser as the law has to be allowed to take its course or its anarchy. However that is not the case now in the UK. The state has admittedly sided with the criminals although they phrase it differently. They knew about what happened and not only did nothing but interfered with those that tried to do something about it. Under these circumstances, the British public needs to rethink their relationship with the state or risk becoming some odd mix of North Korea a typical Islamic state)

A victim of Rotherham’s child sex abuse scandal confronted a man she says groomed her – but was left shocked when she was the one arrested.

The woman was shocked when she saw the man walking through the town’s centre on Friday and decided to challenge him over the allegations.

But she was tackled by two police officers and pushed up against a wall during her ‘thuggish’ arrest, a witness has said.
