From the editor of Inspire magazine.

 There has been a lot of talk about the magazine Inspire. The one thing that some people are talking about is they can’t find it. Only makes sense for a rational person to want to see something before they comment on it.

So here is page one.

LETTER FROM THE EDITOR
Allah says: (And inspire the believers to fight) [al-Anfal: 65]. It is from this verse that we derive the name of our new magazine. The word used in the verse is “harid” which is commonly translated as incite. However, the word should properly be translated as inspire, motivate, or encourage. The word harid in Arabic carries none of the negative
connotations that the English word “incite” carries. To the contrary, it actually has the opposite meaning. The authoritative Arabic lexicon “Taj al-Arus” quotes the classical Arabic language scholar al-Zajjaj as saying that the verb hari? comes from the adjective harid, which means “a person or a being that
is perishing.” Therefore, he says that when you inspire someone towards something using the verb harid, you are saying that unless they do what you are inspiring them to do they would perish. So the word harid is an inspiration that saves a person and guides them towards what is good for them.

“Islam is not an Abrahamic religion”

A truly excellent and interesting post by Henrik of Europe News, lifted with permission from Jihad Watch:

What’s so bad about ‘Satanic,’ anyway?

It raised a couple of eyebrows when the Organization of the Islamic Conference quoted two pages from an article on EuropeNews, discussing if Muhammad was, in fact, a messenger for Satan rather than for God.
In the article based on a television broadcast, Father Zakaria Botros, based on relevant scripture, made a brief analysis of the qualities of Jewish/Christian prophets and compared those to the qualities of Muhammad. What the article did not go into, however, was an analysis of what ‘Satanic’ actually means. We are commonly assuming that ‘Satanic’ means ‘bad’, ‘evil’, ‘wrong’ – to such an extent that even discussing the actual nature of this badness is irrelevant. But if we do not understand what ‘bad’ or ‘Satanic’ means, how can we choose to reject it? Some knowledge of Right and Wrong behaviour is needed for this to be functional.

We first encounter Satan in the Book of Job, which is part of the Old Testament, and the Torah. In this intriguing tale, Satan gets permission (!) by God to tempt Job to disavowing God through a multitude of loss, disease and suffering. Job, staunchly true to God, refuses in spite of poverty and failing health, and is eventually rewarded by even more wealth than he had initially. The morale of this tale, of course, is that one should be true to God under all circumstances, and redemption will come eventually.

An interesting point is that Satan is working by permission from God, not as a separate, opposing entity. Being true to God also implies being true to his teachings, the Ten Commandments etc. Those were good guidelines then and have not lost their value as a moral compass even today. Being a good Jew or a good Christian implies being generally true to these guidelines. Muhammad, born and raised in pagan Arabia, never talked of these and personally broke most of them, as recorded in the Sirat (Ibn Ishaq & Al-Tabari). The Ten Commandments are not generally used in Islam, and as Muhammad violated most, if not all, of them, should be proof that Islam is not an Abrahamic religion, despite claims to the contrary.

The Satanic Verses

Satan earns a few mentions in the life of Muhammad. The first is at the incident known as “The Satanic Verses”. This takes place after Muhammad had been mocking the Meccans for eight years for their paganism and their false gods, calling them to worship the one god he worships. This is interesting, not least because the Meccans had been worshipping Allah for generations before Muhammad – see for instance the chapter on Muhammads’ 5th generation forefather Qusayy (al-Tabari VI pages 19-26).

The events are set in motion by the Quraysh:

Al-Tabari VI p. 106-107:

Quraysh promised the Messenger of Allah that they would give him so much wealth that he would become the richest man in Mecca, would give him as many wives as he wanted in marriage, and would submit to his commands.
One may consider this the ultimate in Satanic temptation for a holy man: Money, sex and power – the core objects of worldly desire.

Al-Tabari VI p. 107:

They said, “This is what we will give you, Muhammad, so desist from reviling our gods and do not speak evilly of them. If you will not do so, we offer you one means which will be to your advantage and to ours.” “What it is?” he asked. They said, “You will worship our gods, al-Lat and al-Uzza, for a year, and we shall worship your god for a year.” “Let me see what revelation comes to me from my Lord, he replied.
Remarkably, Muhammad chooses to consider their offer. And he refers to ‘my Lord’, not Allah, as the source of revelation. That is less mysterious than it would seem, however, for the Meccans were already worshipping Allah. The distinction is made clear in the revelation quoted in response:

Al-Tabari VI p. 107:

Say: O disbelievers! I worship not what you worship; nor do you worship what I worship. And I shall not worship that which you worship, nor will you worship that which I worship. To you your religion, and to me my religion.
It is not made quite clear who has which religion. We know with reasonable certainty (see the chapter on Qusayy mentioned previously) that the Meccans through generations were practising worship of Allah and the other idols of the Kaaba, were in charge of the rituals of pilgrimage (Hajj & Umra) that we know as part of Islam today, including details such as the standing (‘mawqif’) at Arafat, the dispersal from Mina, and stoning the ‘jimar’ (in Islam considered the Devil) at sunset. Muhammad, who swore that he never participated in pagan rituals, is not making the details of his religion clear.

The reconciliation proceeds in spite of these differences: Continue Reading →

Man who didn’t like ruling attacks judge with meat cleaver

Man ‘lunged at judge’s head with meat cleaver’

By Mail On Sunday Reporter
Last updated at 12:32 PM on 20th June 2010

A man armed with a meat cleaver allegedly threatened an employment tribunal chairman after losing a case.

Eyewitnesses claimed Mohammed Choudhury lunged at 66-year-old Russell Hardwick with the blade, forcing him to protect himself with his arms at the Reading Employment Tribunal Centre on Friday.

Barrister Andrew Burns said: ‘He just walked up to the judge and said something like, “You threw out my case.” Then he raised this meat cleaver before the judge’s head.

meat cleaver‘Unreal’: Judge Russell Hardwick had to run from Mohammed Choudhury who raised the cleaver aloft over his head

‘The judge cried out and tried to protect himself with his arms. I quickly went up to the man and asked him to hand it over. Amazingly, he complied.’

Mr Burns added: ‘It all happened in a matter of seconds. I then kept him talking for about ten minutes until the police arrived.

‘It was unreal at the time but afterwards we were all as white as sheets and it could so easily have turned out very differently.’

Trainee barrister Kate Balmer, 25, said that Mr Burns ‘probably saved the judge’s life’.

She said: ‘Andrew Burns shouted at him, “What on Earth do you think you are doing?” The man looked at him and the judge managed to run out into his room and shut the door.’

Mr Choudhury, 42, a former library worker, of Wellesley Road, Slough, was charged with an offence under the Public Order Act.

Visitors to the tribunal centre are not required to undergo searches or bag checks and Mr Burns said there had been calls for more security measures to be introduced.

Mr Hardwick, a former solicitor, has been an employment tribunal chairman since 1990. He announced his retirement last May when he reached 65 but has still been hearing cases at Reading.

Parvez family admits to honour killing. mom just wanted to break arms and legs

Guilty plea in Aqsa Parvez honour killing. Toronto Sun:

Father, brother admit to murdering teen

Aqsa Parvez was murdered in 2007. Her father and brother pleaded  guilty Tuesday.
Aqsa Parvez was murdered in 2007. Her father and brother pleaded guilty Tuesday.

The father and brother of Aqsa Parvez have pleaded guilty to murdering the rebellious 16-year-old in an abhorrent honour killing.

Muhammad Parvez, 60, and his son, Waqas, 29, pleaded guilty to second-degree murder Tuesday in the Dec. 10 2007 strangulation of Aqsa and they face an automatic term of life in prison .

At the time of her shocking murder, which Peel Police have described as a “planned and deliberate act,” the Grade 11 Mississauga student was estranged from her Muslim family because she was bristling at their restrictions. She had moved in with a friend’s family and no longer wore a hijab in her Applewood high school in Mississauga.

In an agreed statement of facts read by Sandra Caponecchia, court heard Aqsa, who had already been promised by her family in an arranged marriage, ran away from home twice because of her lack of freedom. With assistance from her school counselor, she stayed at a shelter the first time and with a friend the next. Despite her father allowing her to wear Western clothes and begging her to return, she refused to come back.

She had told her friends that her dad had sworn on the Koran that he would kill her if she ran away again.

On Dec. 10, her brother Waqsa confronted her at the school bus stop and she was taken away in the Parvez van at about 7:20 am. Just over 30 minutes later, her father called 911 and said he “killed his daughter” using his hands. Continue Reading →

Religious Muslim boys more violent, study says

Published: 6 Jun 10 11:48 CET
Online: http://www.thelocal.de/society/20100606-27673.html

A study that shows boys growing up in religious Muslim families are more likely to be violent seems set to reignite the debate over religion and integration, a media report said on Sunday.

The study, which involved intensive questioning of 45,000 teenagers from 61 towns and regions across the country, was conducted by Christian Pfeiffer of the criminal research institute of Lower Saxony.

Pfeiffer said he was dismayed by the results, and told the Süddeutsche Zeitung he was a strong critic of political campaigns which painted foreigners as criminals – such as those led by Roland Koch and Thilo Sarrazin.

Pfeiffer’s work took into account the level of education and standard of living in the families of the children – aged between 14 and 16 – who were questioned. He also asked them how religious they considered themselves, and how integrated they felt in Germany.

Pfeiffer said that even when other social factors were taken into account, there remained a significant correlation between religiosity and readiness to use violence. There were some positive correlations too he said, noting that young religious Muslims were much less likely than their non-Muslim counterparts to drink alcohol – or to steal from shops.

The increased likelihood to use violence was restricted to Muslim boys Pfeiffer said – Muslim girls were just as likely to be violent as non-Muslim girls. Continue Reading →

Pakistan sect demands protection after at least 93 members killed in militant assault on Lahore mosques

By Mail Foreign Service
Last updated at 1:47 PM on 29th May 2010

Leaders of Pakistan’s minority Ahmadi sect demanded better government protection this morning as they buried many of the 93 sect members killed by Islamist militants at two of the group’s mosques.

The request could test the government’s willingness to take on hard-line Islamists whose influence is behind decades of state-sanctioned discrimination against the Ahmadis in the Sunni Muslim-majority country.

The attacks occurred minutes apart on Friday in two neighbourhoods in the eastern city of Lahore.

Two teams of gunmen, including some in suicide vests, stormed the mosques and sprayed bullets at worshippers while holding off police.

Thirteen people died overnight at hospitals, raising the death toll to 93, said Raja Ghalab Ahmad, a local sect leader.

Dozens were hurt.

Waseem Sayed, a U.S.-based Ahmadi spokesman, said it was the worst attack in the group’s 121-year history.

Local TV channels reported that the Pakistani Taliban, or their Punjab province branch, had claimed responsibility. Continue Reading →

Bill Warner: Some excellent insights on mockery and Islam

Mohammed’s Kartoon Kafirs

Mohammed’s Kartoon Kafirs

by Kenneth Roberts

May 28, 2010

In the TV sitcom ‘Green Acres’, Oliver Wendell Douglas, a New York attorney runs for public office against the popular incumbent. A rumor starts, suggesting that Douglas had been debarred as a lawyer. Though not true, the rural folk keep repeating the lie during the campaign, until everyone accepts it as an established fact… and besides, it’s highly amusing to repeat the slander. Candidate Douglas is frustrated beyond endurance. Even though he is an accomplished attorney, he doesn’t stand a chance against this entrenched prejudice.

In the Koran, Mohammed uses the same technique. All sorts of things in the Koran are no more than cartoonish misrepresentations of people and other religions, but Moslems have no problem accepting them as established facts, merely because Mohammed said so and repeated them over and over, giving them divine authority… and besides, Mohammed’s caricatures are highly amusing! Cartoons work. Hyperbole works. They entertain. They work viscerally by circumventing the intellect and appealing directly to the emotions through laughter and sneering mockery. A thing doesn’t have to be true to be fun!

Mocking outsiders is fun! It puts ‘them’ down, puts ‘us’ above them and thus dehumanizes ‘them’. ‘We’ get control of ‘them’.

According to Mohammed, not only do kafir-subhumans deserve to be mocked, but they basically lack a right to share the earth with Moslems. They are on earth by the kind permission and mercy of Moslems who magnanimously restrain themselves from removing the kafirs altogether. By mocking their legitimate overlords (the Moslems), kafirs lose their right to exist on earth. That is the Sunna, the example, of Mohammed.

In the TV episode, lawyer Douglas starts shouting, ‘I was not debarred!’ but no one hears him over the howls of bemused laughter. Mohammed discovered how effective laughing at one’s opponents could be. He mocked all who didn’t follow him, starting with the Jews, calling them sons of pigs and apes, and at other times calling them ‘donkeys carrying the Taurat’. Mohammed refused to pronounce it ‘Torah’. He distorted the names of people in the Bible as well, no doubt to make them sound funny. He told humiliating stories about Biblical heroes. Abraham had a humorous scrotal hernia. Talking rocks stole Abraham’s clothes and ran away with them. Solomon bends over and overhears the language of ants. Trees, clouds and other objects in nature come alive and speak. Such imagery could come out of Tom and Jerry, but it is there in Mohammed’s holy book revealed by his god, who only communicated with Mohammed. Mohammed also hired writers to lampoon his enemies in limericks. Mohammed could not take a joke at his own expense. No! Mohammed’s narcissism was sacred! And poking fun at it was an unforgivable act of high treason punishable by death! He had writers assassinated who lampooned him.

Of course, as with other matters, Mohammed gave himself a monopoly on cartoons. He wanted his opponents to be unarmed in the matter of satirizing him…as do pious Moslems today. Today, Moslems claim the right to satirize Jews, Americans, the British, the Pope and anyone else. But no one may satirize them. Moslems place themselves and their collective offended narcissism above comment. To criticize Moslems is an act of high treason against our divinely-appointed overlords!

We are never told why Mohammed’s narcissism needs defending more than another’s narcissism. We are merely told that Mohammed taught his followers to defend his narcissism by assassinating critics…and that this is confirmed in Islamic law. Continue Reading →

Everybody Draw Mohamed day!

Here is a post I have been looking forward to for a while. Below, a few videos made especially for Everybody Draw Mohamed Day.

The first, from Blazing Cat Fur. This video was actually featured on FOX news I am told!

It even has a great original song for the occasion. Maybe next year we will have a whole slew of catchy tunes like Christmas carols. Only for everybody Draw Mohamed day.

Thunderfoot did this one below with his usual excellent fiery rhetoric. One hopes perhaps partially with his influence, a classical education may come back into vogue and Western youth will get a grip on what is true and not true, and what is worth defending and not.

Normally I don’t go much for poetry, But I really like this!

Lastly, below, one I have been working on for about a week. Many friends of Vlad and Gates of Vienna and Tundra Tabloids etc. have been kind enough to submit some of their work to us for this project. I want to thank them very much, and if any of them wished to be named in the credits and where omitted, it is because when I was uncertain, I chose the course of their safety. However they can let me know and I will post their names and say which drawing here. Also, I didn’t have room to use all of them but man I got some fantastic stuff from people. So I will most certainly make some kind of a sequel fitting the mood of some of the drawings I got. For this one, I went for funny.

Also, Europe News offers this article on much of the pertinent details behind this fine and I hope, soon to be annual event. Next year, I want to see a parade in Montreal with a float of Mohamed in chaps.

Racist BBC malighns Asian Hindus, Sikh’s and Buddhists as usual

Amazing how the BBC gets away with such real racism to avoid the perceived racism by admitting when horror is inf act, related to Muslims or Islam. We have the BBC here talking about an “Asian gang” as if they could have been Japanese, Chinese, Hindu’s or Tibetan Buddhists when half of them are named Mohamed.

This is a MUSLIM act of violent horrible crime and probably done for the advancement of Islam. Yet the BBC persists in making it about actual race. Asian. Disgusting. H/T Don with thanks.

A much longer version of the Vilks video. When Muslims attack.

Here is more footage, before and after of the Vilks lecture showing what led up to it. The claim is, Muslims were offended by the ‘Pornography’ which you can see, is not being shown. Leftists must be torn to pieces inside trying to defend the conservative sensitivities of Muslims when they would have been rioting to force Western conservatives to allow pornographic material in public lectures only a couple of decades ago. Even so, this is not pornographic. This was well prepared Muslims who just found their moment.

Mohammed Vakas has been jailed for 30 years for an acid attack that left his victim severely disfigured

An acid attacker who left a 25-year-old man severely disfigured in a horrific plot to avenge his family’s “dishonour” has been jailed for 30 years.

Mohammed Vakas was found guilty by an Old Bailey jury of plotting to murder Awais Akram.

The victim was targeted because of his intimate relationship with Sadia Khatoon, 24, a married businesswoman he had met on Facebook, the court heard.

When her husband, Shakeel Abassi, and Vakas, her brother, found out about it, they got her to lure Mr Akram out of his flat to the scene of the attack.

There the victim was beaten and stabbed before Vakas poured concentrated sulphuric acid over his head, leaving him with 47% burns and fighting for his life.

Vakas, 26, of Walthamstow, was found guilty of conspiring with Khatoon and her husband to murder Mr Akram.

Fellow attackers Mohammed Adeel, 20, also of Walthamstow, and a 17-year-old youth, who can now be named as Fabion Kuci, of Harlesden, north-west London, were convicted of conspiracy to cause grievous bodily harm.

Adeel was jailed for 14 years and the youth was locked up for eight years. Continue Reading →

Extremists praise Somali Canadian in online eulogy

Stewart Bell, National Post Published: Tuesday, May 04, 2010

TORONTO — A Canadian who was being investigated for allegedly joining a Somali militant group died in a “fierce battle,” according to a eulogy posted on an extremist website.

“During the fight, he received a fatal wound to the point that he was unable to participate,” it says. “The mujahedin that were with him carried him and placed him in a safe area.”

It says he gave the others his weapon “to continue to defend the religion of Allah” and they left him and went back to fight. When they returned he was dead, it says.

Mohamed Elmi Ibrahim, 22, was one of a half-dozen radicalized young Somali-Canadians who allegedly left Toronto last year to join the al-Qaeda-linked Al-Shabab.

The Al-Qimmah Somali Internet forum said in March he was dead. It provided few details but this week a eulogy appeared on the same extremist website. Continue Reading →

A Facebook user was disfigured in a revenge-fuelled acid attack over his intimate relationship with a married woman he met online, a court heard today.

Awais Akram, 25, looked like a ‘cross between a zombie from a horror movie and the Incredible Hulk’ after the assault in July last year, jurors were told.

Mr Akram was left burned and bleeding from his nose and eyes and with flesh hanging off his body, prosecutor David Markham said.

Two police authorities killed, two injured in suicide bomb attacks in Russia’s North Caucasus

RIA Novosti… Two police officers were killed and another two injured in a series of two explosions, at least one of them caused by a suicide bomber, in Russia’s volatile southern province of Ingushetia, local police said on Monday.

It quoted an Ingush police spokesman as saying that the suicide bomber set off an explosive device when he was stopped by security guards at the gates of a police station in the town of Karabulak. A police source said the second blast occurred just minutes after the first, no one was killed or injured.

“He [the suicide bomber] arrived in a car and it was presumed the car was mined,” local police said. “All security measures were taken and as a result, the police’s fears were confirmed when the car exploded.”

Last week two deadly blasts occurred in two Moscow subway stations claiming some 40 lives and injuring dozens more. The attackers struck the Lubyanka and Park Kultury stations about 40 minutes apart during the morning rush hour.

Chechen militant leader Doku Umarov claimed responsibility for the metro attacks, saying in a video message they were revenge for a special operation carried out by federal security forces on February 11, 2010, when 18 militants and four civilians were killed in Ingushetia. He threatened further attacks.

Two days after the Moscow subway blasts another two explosions occurred in the town of Kizlyar, in Dagestan near the border with Chechnya, killing12 people and leaving 29 others injured.

The Russian counter-terrorism committee said the organizers of the recent terrorist attacks in Moscow and Kizlyar and some of the suicide bombers have been identified.

President Dmitry Medvedev said the bombings were all links in the same chain, while Prime Minister Vladimir Putin said a single terrorist group carried out the attacks.

Russia has been fighting militants in the North Caucasus for almost two decades, including two brutal wars against separatists in Chechnya.

MOSCOW, April 5 (RIA Novosti)

Russia: Dozens killed in Moscow subway blasts

[kaltura-widget wid=”0_48ilo52c” width=”410″ height=”364″ addpermission=”3″ editpermission=”3″ /]

Moscow (CNN) — Explosions rocked a pair of central Moscow subway stations during morning rush hour Monday, killing at least 37 people and wounding 10 others, Russia’s Emergency Situations Ministry said.

The first blast occurred about 8 a.m. at Lubyanka subway station. That explosion killed 14 people aboard the train and 11 on the platform.

The Lubyanka station is near the Kremlin and the nation’s intelligence service, the Federal Security Bureau.

Another blast happened about 30 minutes later at Park Kultury station, on the same train line. The Emergency Situations Ministry reported 12 dead in the second explosion. Russian TV said the blast killed 15 people.
