Douglass Murray on British school subversion by muslims

Posted on by

There are many things to watch out for in this clip. One interesting moment is when the woman convert insists on not being called a convert, presumably because muslims pretend all people are born muslim and their parents convert them to something else so they ‘revert’ back to islam. The woman therefore is demanding that all people ignore their own system of thought, and for that matter, reality itself, and submit to her values, at least outwardly or be branded with the new ‘scarlet-letter’ of racism.

1. RT- Iraq: Baghdad military base flooded with battle-ready volunteers

2. Iraq arrest that exposed wealth and power of Isis jihadists

Two days before Mosul fell to the Islamic insurgent group Isis (the Islamic State in Iraq and the Levant), Iraqi commanders stood eyeballing its most trusted messenger. The man, known within the extremist group as Abu Hajjar, had finally cracked after a fortnight of interrogation and given up the head of Isis’s military council.

“He said to us, ‘you don’t realise what you have done’,” an intelligence official recalled. “Then he said: ‘Mosul will be an inferno this week’.’

Several hours later, the man he had served as a courier and been attempting to protect, Abdulrahman al-Bilawi, lay dead in his hideout near Mosul. From the home of the dead man and the captive, Iraqi forces hoovered up more than 160 computer flash sticks which contained the most detailed information yet known about the terror group.

3. Saudi toddler survives slaughter attempt by her brother

  • Image Credit: Supplied

Manama: A toddler aged 18 months in Saudi Arabia has barely survived a killing attempt by her brother who was influenced by slaughtering scenes he had just witnessed at a sheep abattoir.

The boy, aged three, had accompanied his father to the slaughterhouse in the Naseem neighbourhood in the Saudi capital Riyadh where he saw how sheep were slaughtered.

(Yep I have fond memories of when my dad took me to see the slaughter house when I was three and seeing how they killed all those farm animals. Oh no wait a minute that was the sugar bush and that was maple syrup not blood. But if I recall correctly I did try and tap a tree afterwards)

4. Libya crisis: More deadly clashes in Benghazi

Fresh clashes broke out in Benghazi on Sunday after a rogue general launched a fresh assault on Islamist militants.

Tanks were seen on the streets and explosions could be heard throughout the day in Libya’s second-biggest city.

General Khalifa Haftar, who accuses the government of supporting terrorism, began an assault against Islamist fighters in the city last month.

5. Lindsey Graham: “Seeds of 9/11” being planted in Iraq, Syria

Thank you Wrath of Khan, M, and all who helped out with links today. I have something lined up for tomorrow which I think will be both interesting and important and illustrate just how significant the gains of Islamic operatives have been through very manipulated ‘interfaith’ initiatives. I hope to have something on this up late Monday the 16th

 

Geopolitics: Movement in Iraq, shiia Vs. Sunni and Islam inspired horror.

1. Here is a video of Shiia volunteers getting ready to face off with ISIS/ISAL

2. BasNews gives detail about Iranian forces in Iraq

The Iranian forces deployed to Kurdistan’s disputed areas and Nineveh province in response to the Islamic State of Iraq and Sham (ISIS) are made up of Kurds, Lors and Turks.

Security sources from Kurdish cities in Iran state that some Iranian soldiers have entered Iraq’s disputed areas and settled there under the excuse of fighting against ISIS. But on Wednesday a number of Iranian soldiers came close to Khanaqin, and they are high military advisors who previously trained Assad’s soldiers in Syria.

3. Iranian forces enter Kurdistan Region 

Iranian forces have entered the Kurdistan Region and are based in Naft Khana, a border town near the city of Khanaqin in Diyala Province, which is under control of the Patriotic Union of Kurdistan (PUK).

A reliable source in Khanaqin that asked to remain anonymous has told BasNews that the Iranians were deployed a few days ago after the Islamic State of Iraq and Sham (ISIS) took control of most areas of mid and northern Iraq.

4. Here is the one hour video by ISIS that was removed from YT:

(I haven’t seen it all yet. I doubt I will. But for those who want to read enemy propaganda in order to better understand them its required viewing)

5. Lindsey Graham on CNN discusses Iraq and attacks the presidents decision to not make a decision. Itself, a decision.

6. Shiias prepare for war with ISIS.

(It is interesting to hear the Shiia call ISIS apostates as I am certain the Sunni Al-Qaeda people would also think of the Shiias similarly)

7. Another US legislator makes the argument against involvement in Iraq today.

 

The Vatican. Some analysis of the prayer for peace that took place June 8 2014

Posted on by

There has been a lot of confusion around the prayer for peace event held at the Vatican last week. Gates of Vienna as well as this site posted a caution  of an earlier article suggesting that the imam who gave the islamic prayer actually said something that is widely interpreted as praying for victory over the Christians and the Jews.

Here is the list of events as I understand them at this time: On June 11 2014, we posted this article written by Carpe Diem which linked to a video on the same topic at PI News. The article explains how the Imam delivered a certain line of a certain chapter and verse of koran that typically is not interpreted as being very peaceful. Specifically calling for victory over Christians and Jews.

A couple of days later, an email arrived from one of our Arabic translators who explained that in the video, the imam never said that line. That at worst was a wishy-washy other line that is often interpreted as hostile but wasn’t the line we wrote was in there. This prompted Gates of Vienna to write this article which cautioned readers that we may have been wrong on this. This site also linked to that GoV article as well in case we did get this one wrong.

Further analysis showed that the video our translator had seen, was not in fact the full prayer but was some 15 or 20 seconds shorter than the video that appeared on Al Arabiya TV and that version did indeed appear to have the offending line. (thank you M) the line which prompted our writer, Carpe Diem, to translate the video from the German translation at PI News and a line which it is now clear was not presented to the Vatican in advance, is from Koran, The Cow: 2:284, or 2:285 to  2-286

Here is the actual official Vatican video of the entire event. 

This I believe is the Arabic TV full video of the imam’s segment

Here is the video we sent an Arabic to English translator we know

So what we know is, that the imam did indeed go ‘off script’ and speak a few lines, specifically Koran, 2:284, 2:285 and 2:286 which he did not submit to the Vatican in advance. The Vatican actually admits to this and attempts to mitigate the damage the imam tried to do by this piece of apologetics written by a Jesuit at a German language Vatican-Radio website. The sophistry is quite artistic in this. The Jesuit uses the clay-pot fallacy in a round about way here, saying that the imam didn’t really say that and if he did, its no different than when the last pope said something muslims didn’t like in 2006. So we should be ashamed that we even noticed it.

Andrew Bostom observed the following about two of the last 3 verses of the Koran’s second sura, or chapter cited by the Muslim imam (i.e., verses 2:284, 2:285, and 2:286), as interpreted by two very important, authoritative Koranic commentaries, one by Qurtubi (d. 1273), and the other by Shafi (d. 1976)

Qurtubi (d. 1273) was a Muslim scholar of the Maliki school of jurisprudence and an expert on hadith who was also well-known for his commentary on the Koran. Qurtubi’s glosses on 2:285 and 2:286, includes these remarks:

[From, Tafsir al-Qurtubi: Classical Commentary of the Holy Qur’an, Vol. 1, 2003, London, p. 762,  regarding 2:285,  “We hear and obey”]

He [Allah] praised them in this ayat and removed from them the hardship they experienced about thoughts which occur to them. This favor is the fruit of obedience and devotion to Allah. What happened to the tribe of Israel was the opposite of that. They were censured and made to endure the hardships of abasement, wretchedness and exile since they said “We hear and disobey” (see Koran 2:93 and 4:46). Such is the result of disobedience and recalcitrance to Allah.

[From, Tafsir al-Qurtubi: Classical Commentary of the Holy Qur’an, Vol. 1, 2003, London, p. 767,  regarding 2:286, “Lay not on us a burden like that which You did lay on those before us (Jews and Christians)”]

“They endured hard things”…refers to being turned into pigs and monkeys (i.e., the Jews, Koran 5:60)…it means wrong actions for which there is no repentance or expiation.

Mufti Muhammad Shafi (d. 1976) was the author of Maariful Qur’an, which is the best-known work of tafsir (Koranic commentary) in Urdu. He also wrote more than three hundred books. In addition to his literary works, Mufti Muhammad Shafi broadcasted tafsir of the Koran on Radio Pakistan for a number of years. Here are relevant extracts from the Maariful Qur’an glosses  on Koran 2:285 and 2:286:

[on verse 2:285; from p. 722 of Maariful Qur’an, Vol. 1, Karachi, 2009]:

 …it was clearly stressed that the believers of this ummah (Muslim community0 will do nothing that was done by past communities when they planted seeds of discord among messengers of Allah by accepting some as prophets and by denying the status of others. The Jews accepted Moses was a prophet, the Christians accepted that Jesus was a prophet, but that the last of the prophets, Mujammad was a prophet was not accepted by them.

[on verse 2:286; from p. 724 of Maariful Qur’an, Vol. 1, Karachi, 2009;  After quoting from the verse, “Lay not on us a burden like that which You did lay on those before us (Jews and Christians); our Lord! Put not on us a burden greater than we have strength to bear.]

…Indicated here are the sever restrictions placed on the Israelites [Jews]…Alternately it could mean that punishment should not visit us [Muslims] as it visited the Israelites following their evil deeds. In short, Allah Almighty bestowed His best when He promised the acceptance of all these prayers through his Messenger, the last among the, prophets.

I am not going to try and speculate as to exactly what this all meant. But I would be willing to bet odds that this was not remotely in the spirit of what the Pope had in mind when he organized this event.

Below, the entire prayer he intoned, as well as his own personal one:

 

Eeyore for Vlad

A response to an absurd little imam in a privileged situation who faces no real adversity whatsoever.

Posted on by

The other day, someone burned three copies of the Islamic terror-text, the koran in front of a mosque in Dearborn Mi. A debate could go on endlessly about the wisdom, utility and decency of this act. But the imam who works at that mosque had this to say about the event:

““That’s terrorism,” Imam Husham Al-Husainy said about the Qurans, which were found burning outside the mosque this week. “This is hate. … Let’s pray for peace here and all around the world.”

Just to be perfectly clear here Al-Husainy, burning a few copies of a crappy book that pretty much says nothing other than inspiring violence, genocide and hatred is not terrorism.

This, Boko Haram stone & buried Chibok Girls to Death , is terrorism.

This, ISIS Leader: ‘See You in New York’ is terrorism.

This, Nigerian villagers ‘killed in Boko Haram church attack’ is terrorism.

This, We’ve Lost 750 Churches To Boko Haram Attacks – PFN is terrorism.

This, Gunmen kill nine in northeast Nigeria church attack is terrorism.

This, Hindu temple attacked, set on fire in Pakistan is terrorism.

This, report on Muslim forced prostitution of British girls in the UK is terrorism.

I could go on pasting till I had carpal-tunnel syndrome and not run out of genuine Islamic horror and terror and still just be dealing with the last 12 months Al-Husainy, and I don’t see you getting your ball-gown or turban in a twist over any one of those.

As for burning korans, that is what we call 1st amendment rights for those that have/had them. For the rest of us, I recommend carrying an honest translation of koran around in your coat pocket for the purpose of demonstrating to people you might run into socially how pretty much every single page of it contains instructions and even demands to hate, kill and commit real acts of violence, terror and even genocide against all non-muslims.

Allah’s Apostle said, “I have been sent with the shortest expressions bearing the widest meanings, and I have been made victorious with terror (cast in the hearts of the enemy), and while I was sleeping, the keys of the treasures of the world were brought to me and put in my hand.” Abu Huraira added: Allah’s Apostle has left the world and now you, people, are bringing out those treasures (i.e. the Prophet did not benefit by them).

WTF just happened in Iraq exactly?

Posted on by

Below is a series of links to articles and opinions about a rather small band of primitives that managed to take control of a large area that was, according to local legend, being protected by entire trained army divisions. These have been sent in by a wide variety of people, Richard, M, ST, Don L, Oz-Rita and others who have in common that something is rather fishy in the state of Iraq.

1. Iraq army capitulates to Isis militants in four cities

The extent of the Iraqi army’s defeat at the hands of militants from the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (Isis) became clear on Wednesday when officials in Baghdad conceded that insurgents had stripped the main army base in the northern city of Mosul of weapons, released hundreds of prisoners from the city’s jails and may have seized up to $480m in banknotes from the city’s banks.

BAGHDAD — Sunni militants consolidated and extended their control over northern Iraq on Wednesday, seizing Tikrit, the hometown of Saddam Hussein, threatening the strategic oil refining town of Baiji and pushing south toward Baghdad, their ultimate target, Iraqi sources said.

8. Iraq Isis Crisis: Medieval Sharia Law Imposed on Millions in Nineveh Province

The Islamic State of Iraq and al-Shams (Isis) has imposed a strict set of Sharia laws on the citizens of Nineveh province just days after capturing the provincial capital of Mosul.

In a document circulating on social media attributed to the group, Isis warned tribal leaders and sheikhs not to “work with [the Iraqi] government and be traitors” while proclaiming that women should only go outside if absolutely necessary.

Its gonna be a long summer for those who survive it.)

Muslim born in France comes to understand that Islam and democracy are not miscible

Thank you Oz-Rita for all the work on this:

Text (in French) from this site:

But found at the site of these young “French Jewish Defense League” which also include a video (gruesome) where they seem to prepare him for his 72 virgins:

http://www.liguedefensejuive.com/bonne-nouvelle-des-sources-djihado-terroristes-rapportent-la-mort-dabou-al-shaheed-faransi-2014-06-11.html#comments

Jihadist sources report the death of Abou Al-Shaheed Faransi.

Before his death, the French jihadist, Abou Shaheed, called “Le Francais” (The French Man”) said:  “We don’t need the international community”. 

On 30 May 2014, jihadi sources did report the death of Abou Al-Shaheed Faransi (“The French Man”), member of the Islamic State of Irak and the Orient (EIIL) and a pin-up figure of the francophone Jihadist community. Abou Shaheed is said to have been killed during a fight against the Syrian Branch of Al-Quaida, Jabhat Al Nusra (JN). Violent fights have been reported for the control of the region of Deir Al-Zor,  rich in petrol, between l”EIIL and a coalition of islamist groups, including JN.

In February 2014 (date of this video?) he presents himself under the name of Abou Shaheed. He is 29 y.o. and has left France 10 months ago. He was then in the region of Alep, where reporter Claire Andrieux joined him via a social network.

 

Vatican: Imam prays for victory over the disbelieving people

Posted on by

An original article by Carpe Diem with much thanks.

Last Sunday, Whitsunday if you like, Pope Francis hosted Israeli President Shimon Peres and Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas at a ‘Peace Gathering’ in Vatican City. Prayers from clerics of the three faiths had been planned to be part of the programme, as News.va, The Official Vatican Network, reported prior to the visit.

After he had seen the broadcast, Hamed Abdel-Samad, an Islam-critical political scientist and author who lives in Germany, wrote on Facebook:

“In the garden of the Vatican, the Muslim cleric finishes his prayer with the verse from the Quran: ‘May Allah give us victory over the disbelieving people’. This is what I call a prayer for peace.

Since Hamed Abdel-Samad speaks Arabic fluently, he had recognized that the Imam had quoted the last three verses from Sura 2.

On June 10, Bernd Hagenkord, head of the German section of Radio Vatican, published an article in which he contradicts the claim: “No, during the prayers for peace the Quran hasn’t been recited requesting to destroy the unbelievers. […] What a source of unbelievable stuff the internet is.”

In some way he couldn’t know better. Hagenkord attached all prayers (in English) that were handed in to his article. The Imam simply changed the programme.

When two readers put the translated verses into the comment section, Bernd Hagenkord answered: “Colleagues told us that the translation circulating the internet and this comment section is the harshest and not common at all.”

Not common at all?

Both translations were of the very same wording, so I had an Idea – and I was right. Both commentators had used the translation from the Central Council for Muslims in Germany

For the ones of you who speak Arabic, here is the video:

Crosses not wanted on German cemetery during Muslim burials

Posted on by

An original translation by Oz-Rita

H/T Nicolai Sennels

From this German Language publication:

During muslim burials, crosses must be hidden

Germany:

Massive clashes between different cultures are a near daily occurrence in Germany as well as in Austria. However, conflicts between Christians and muslims cause increasing anger among the citizens and for quite a while they have not been willing to accept just about anything. Recently there was such a case in the German town of Offenbach near Frankfurt on the Main. After an agreement had been reached between the two cultures, the Muslims demanded still more and more.

Cemetary without Crosses. 

Dying is no-one’s favorite subject, except in the following case: A muslim community had asked for a special place on the cemetery of the hessian town, Seligenstadt on the Main. So far so good.  Such a place had been found for them. But now the (muslim) community demands that during a (muslim) burial, all Christian symbols be removed from the entire cemetery grounds. 

It had taken extensive negotiations to allow the Muslims their own ceremony. On this part of the cemetery, no coffins are to be put into the ground, but the corpses are to be wrapped in cloth, and laid out pointing towards East, ie Mecca. During this procedure, while Suras from the Koran will be read out, all crosses in the mourning hall are to be taken down or hidden away. These demands are made by Bashir Kumcu from the Ahmadiyya Community with the explanation: “We are also making adjustments by following the rules of the cemetery administration.

Nobody from this German town was willing to comment. However the tones one can hear from the town hall are clearer: “The Muslims can hold their funerals ceremonies somewhere else, where there are no Crosses”.

Czech President to the OIC: No Apology

As I mentioned a couple of weeks ago, President Miloš Zeman of the Czech Republic had some forthright things to say about Islam at a closed-door reception to celebrate Israel’s Independence Day. The Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) took note of Mr. Zeman’s speech, expressed its disappointment and disapproval, and demanded an apology.

True to form, the Czech president has declined to apologize for his words, giving a sound theological justification for his decision. Our Czech correspondent Gemini has translated the quote released in the Czech media, and includes this note:

Allah is not God. A guide for atheists.

Posted on by

I am writing this for believers and atheists alike actually, but I think perhaps a little more for atheists, as they tend to sneer a little and show a tiny bit of contempt when the issue of Allah Vs. God comes on the table in much the same way a vegetarian does when you talk about the cruelty of halal slaughter. For the vegetarian all meat is evil and therefore what difference does it make if you kill it with the Halal method? The answer is quite a good deal of difference actually but thats the subject of another essay and many people have already explained it much better than I can.

Atheists typically state that no supernatural entities exist or at least that no gods do. That Thor, Allah, Jehovah and Amon Ra are all equally non-existent, and therefore, all equally irrelevant.

For the sake of argument lets say they are right on their first point. All gods are equally nonexistent. The same thing is true of all superheroes however. (no offense meant to the devout Marvel believers, please don’t blow up my clubhouse for this one) But even fictional superheroes have wildly differing attributes. Batman, for example, had no supernatural powers.  His abilities were derived from careful planning, extreme training and leading edge technology and the clever application of that technology. Superman on the other hand has so many native abilities that there was nothing he couldn’t do, (making writing plots for that character a lot more challenging I bet.)

It would be unthinkable to a Batman fan if all of a sudden he could just fly on his own power out of a situation and go into space and solve the problem by going faster than light and backwards in time. The Batman fan would get carpal tunnel syndrome writing in to whatever authority governs the rules for superheroes in movies and comic books.

Muslims know this at some level. In Malaysia there are laws which forbid Christians from referring to their god as ‘Allah’. (It boggles the mind why Christians would want to refer to their deity, one who’s attributes are a clean 180 degrees away from the Islamic Casus Belli they call Allah, but for some reason some of them do.)

Allah, we are told, instructs muslims to attack, kill, enslave, rape, and hate non believers on pretty much every page of the Koran. The Christian bible, while it has some anecdotes and parables about horror committed by people, typically explains how and why to be cooperative with other people for the benefit of all. These attributes are fundamentally different and have led to fundamentally different results.

The fact of the existence of the entities is utterly irrelevant. What matters is that those who take influence from the scriptures, claimed to be dictated by these entities, has shaped the world for millennia. To say that the Jews, Christians and Muslims all worship the same god is a cheap sales con. It is to say that Batman, Superman, Lex Luthor, the Kandari demons from the Evil Dead, are all basically the same thing. While all may be equally fictional, those who follow the example of these characters will not commit the same deeds. Imagine running into a cult of  Red Skull or Beelzebub. I doubt your night would go as well as if you ran into a group of Presbyterians on the way home from Church.

Much like saying, ‘The Prophet Mohamed’ when you are not a muslim, yet seeming to be willing to admit the divinity of the pirate-in-chief of the Islamic faith, saying that all worship the same god is not only wrong, but creates a tactical advantage to Muslims when they are not yet dominant. When they are, they will see to it that you don’t make that mistake. Just ask a Malaysian Christian. 

It is a common rhetorical trick to try and relativize all things in order to force them all to be what the speaker wants everything to be. For example – multiculturalists pretend to revel in cultural diversity while denying that any real cultural differences actually exist and calling those who point those very real differences out to be ‘racists’. (Just try and explain to a multiculturalist the real nature of Islam to see this in action) To claim that the central and prime force, the God, that is the justification and motive for all law,  all actions, organizational principles, and rules for the treatment of all others are the same for all religions is again, simply trying to force them all into the mold of the limited imagination of the cultural relativist.

Never let someone get away with this kind of relativism when you can stop it. Allah is not god any more than Spiderman is Peter Pan. Whether or not these entities exist is not nearly as important as the fact of the belief in them and the results of that belief. So yes, it actually does matter what you call the deity much more than the question of its existence.

Eeyore for Vlad.
