Flag of the Ahmadiyya Muslim Jamaat

According to their British website, the Ahmadiyya Movement in Islam is a religious organization, international in its scope, with branches in over 176 countries in Africa, North America, South America, Asia, Australasia, and Europe. At present, its total membership estimated at around 200 million worldwide, and the numbers are increasing day by day. This is the most dynamic denomination of Islam in modern history. The Ahmadiyya Movement was established in 1889 by Hadhrat Mirza Ghulam Ahmad (as) (1835-1908) in a small and remote village, Qadian, in the Punjab, India. He claimed to be the expected reformer of the latter days, the Awaited One of the world community of religions (The Mahdi and Messiah).

The current leader (2014) is the fifth Kalif, Hadhrat Mirza Masroor Ahmad, 

Name, Beliefs, Status

In a manifesto dated 4 November 1900, Ghulam Ahmad explained that the name ‘Ahmadiyya’ did not refer to himself but to Ahmad, the alternative name of the prophet Muhammad. Accordingly, in Ghulam Ahmad’s view, the Old Testament prophesied a Messenger “like unto Moses”, which referred to Mohammad, while according to the Qur’an, Jesus foretold a messenger named Ahmad (see Quran 61:6).

Ahmadis share beliefs with Islam in general and Sunni Islam in particular. Also important to the Ahmadiyya is the belief in Hadhrat Mirza Ghulam Ahmad as the promised Messiah and Mahdi.

Therefore, Pakistan officially declared the Ahmadis to be non-Muslims as they do not regard the Prophet Muhammad to be the final prophet. Fundamentalist Islamic groups have demanded that Ahmadis be “officially” declared to be kafirs (infidels). In many Muslim countries Ahmadiyya has become a persecuted sect.

Situation in Germany

As the first Muslim community the AMJ has the status of a corporation of public law in the German state of Hesse since 2013. Other states may follow this example.

1989, on the 100th anniversary of their foundation, AMJ announced their plan to build 100 mosques in Germany. 39 mosques had been built until 2014.

Criticism and Quotes

Although Ahmadis says it’s a peaceful reform movement and their worldwide slogan is ‘Love for All, Hatred for None’, they attracted some attention in the past:

“I have been sent to break the cross and to destroy the pig.”

Hazrat Mirza Ghulam Ahmad, Founder of Ahmadiyya

In: Sieg des Islams. Verlag Der Islam, Frankfurt/M. 1994, p. 22. (orig: German, transl: CD)

“An Ummah can only work when there is a leadership. There is a lack of unity. A unity, in our opinion, can only be installed according to the system by our prophet, a caliphate.”

Abdullah Uwe Wagishauser, Chairman (Emir) of the AMJ in Germany

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

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).

True to form, the Czech republic remains both ethical and respectful in its refusal to submit to Islam

Click over to Gates of Vienna to read the brilliant reply to the OIC given by the leader of the Czech republic, when an apology was demanded of him.

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:

EDL warn of militias to tackle hate preachers.

Whether you agree with the EDL’s position or you do not, it might do well to dispassionately examine the overall phenomenon of the existence of the EDL and why it exists before condemning it. People who oppose it may do better to think of them as white blood cells massively increasing in the blood supply to tackle a very real and very lethal infection. Those, like the woman interviewed who probably is a very nice person and if questioned, would likely have the same values as most readers of this site, may wish to find another course of action to stave off the staggering and disproportionate islamic rape and slavery gangs of ‘kafir’ young girls in the UK. Or the various other forms of jihad muslims are waging on the West with the intention, and result, of destroying Western civilization.

Hopefully the time for peaceful and legislation based solutions have not passed in the UK, although the smart money already seems to think it has, but she, the counter-EDL demonstrator, and all like her could try. Opposing the EDL however, and trying to get them shut down by reason of making illegal statements due to “the race relations act” etc. is tantamount to giving the social body AIDS.

If you have a better way to fight the infection madam, then please do it. If not, do not stand in the way of the people are trying everything they can to retain classical liberalism, even if it doesn’t appear that is what the EDL are doing, and even if they, the EDL, don’t know that is what they are doing.

The clock is ticking and things are getting worse. Alternate solutions madam and I would start right away.

Astonishing speech of clarity and fact in an age where this is unheard of.

The Czech Republic distinguishes itself by having a former president, Vaclav Klaus, who was from the sciences and not from law, who had the courage to speak truth about the nature of the EU and why it needed to be largely destroyed, and the myth of anthropogenic global warming, in fact a plot to destroy the Western World’s dominance in manufacturing and development.

Now it distinguishes itself with another leader with the courage to speak about the ideology of Islam and its consequences, as well as the reluctance of others to state plainly what is true and defend what is right.

Reversing the Tide of the Muslim Word Purge

Miloš Zeman

A remarkable statement on the state of Muslim theology by Czech President Miloš Zeman two weeks ago went largely unnoticed. These remarks, offered at a reception for Israel’s Independence Day, only came to my attention as the result of the blogging efforts of my colleague at Israellycool, Brian of London, also known as Brian Thomas. The weeks would otherwise have flown by with Zeman’s remarks having sunk into obscurity, a single blip on the screen, unseen and unheard forever.

The brief speech was not only given behind closed doors at a private reception, but also appeared on the government website of the Czech Republic. That is how we know Zeman’s words are not just words, but a groundbreaking wakeup call by a national leader to the world at large.

If only they were listening.

Brian found a translation of Zeman’s speech at the Gates of Vienna and cited it in its entirety. It is well worth taking five minutes to read these remarks:

Speech by the president of the Czech Republic at the reception held to celebrate Israel’s Independence Day

May 26, 2014

Ladies and gentlemen,

Let me thank you for the invitation to celebrate Israel’s Independence Day. There are dozens of days of independence being celebrated every year in the Czech Republic. Some I may attend, others I cannot. There is one I can never miss, however: it’s the Israeli Independence Day.

There are states with whom we share the same values, such as the political horizon of free elections or a free market economy. However, no one threatens these states with wiping them off the map. No one fires at their border towns; no one wishes that their citizens would leave their country. There is a term, political correctness. This term I consider to be a euphemism for political cowardice. Therefore, let me not be cowardly.

Nigerian army opens fire on own commander as its discovered that he was in league with Boko Haram

It appears the Nigerian Army had its own ‘work place violence’ or a Nidal Hassan moment. The difference being they knew what to do about it immediately.

Things must be really bad when feminist and women’s groups actually take action of any kind to protect women and genuine human rights anywhere at all as opposed to dedicating all their efforts towards enforcing cultural Marxism.
