You can bet your next paycheck that another attack is imminent. Its coming, and its very near.
Just take a look at 2009....6 attempted attacks and one succesful attack causing the death of 13 and injuring 22. And we are so complacent about it.
When will our leaders wake up and do their damn jobs and follow the Constitution. That is to maintain the safety and security of the American people.
I gave Obama a lot of space, but my patience is wearing thin. Elections in 2010 are going to be interesting.
Another thing I don't understand, is the news media and the American people themselves. Do they not see anything going on?
Look at decades ago....you never or seldom heard of radicalize Islam terror attacks.
NOW...a day doesn't go by when its mentioned in the media. You see it on the news "crawl" at the bottom of the television screen. Everyday! Every damn day!!
Whenever there is an attack or attempted terror attack, our leaders set up new rules or new regulations. How about being a little pro-active for a change?
Start getting the CIA and the FBI and the Homeland Security working in tandem. Start sharing information.
Review and renew the Patriot Act...NOW!!
Maintain Gitmo, keep it open. Send all islamic terrorist there and hold them forever. When word gets around that if you get caught, your jailed for life. They do not get the protection of the US Constitution.
Stop muslim immigration. Immediately.
Allow the FBI to do its job!! Servailance on Islamic mosques is imperative.
Wherever you go...keep your eyes and ears open. My daughter just flew back to Denver and she profiled the people in the airport. She sat next to a man, she thought might be Middle-Eastern and she kept her eyes on him. This is what everybody has to do.
Most Americans do not realize...that if they report suspicious activity...they are immune from any law suit that may be brought from the accused. They will not be sued!! This is a fact, its the LAW!
We are at war.
Americans are afraid to cause a stir. They are afraid they may offend someone. We are so politcally correct, we are putting our lives in danger. Americans don't want to grasp the thought, that there are thugs out there, that want to kill us!! They want us dead. They want our children dead. Islamic militants hate us and everything we stand for. For whatever reason extremist feel they are fighting for, they want us dead.
Islam is to be the dominate religion in America.
Israel is to leave Palestine.
America will have Shariah Law.
Whatever the reason. They are here, and it only takes a few.
In the coming months, something is going to change with our governemnt. Either they are going to get wise to Islamic radicals and start doing what we elected them to do and that is to keep us safe.Or they simply will give up, apologize and let the Islamist run amok in our country. Already we see more and more radicals standing and preaching on street corners, promoting the over throw of the government and the implementation of Shariah Law.
The only thing keeping them at bay right now is FOX News and the internet.
So there will be more attacks. And if the Obama administration keeps its eyes and ears closed, we are all doomed.
What will it take? A downed airliner? Or something a little more deadly?
Maybe a school takeover?

As-Sabiqun
"As-Sabiqun is an Islamic movement that believes in the Islamic State of North America no later than 2050. Those who engage in this great effort require a high level of commitment and determination. We are sending out a call to the believers: Join with us in this great struggle to change the world!"
-Imam Musa, the Washington, DC, imam who supports jihad terror and Islamic supremacism.
I believe Abu Bakr Ba'shir puts the situation in the easiest to understand light for us Kuffar: "The path taken by many political parties in their effort to establish an Islamic regime is not the right path, because these parties adopt democracy. Democracy is not an Islamic means. Democracy runs counter to Islam, because it emphasizes the sovereignty of the people, whereas Islam emphasizes the sovereignty of Allah.
Thus, if we are to submit to the law of Allah, Muslims have no choice but to say: 'We hear and obey.' In democracy, Allah's commands may be open to discussion, and if we agree with them, we accept them, but if we do not agree with them, we reject them. Herein lies the flaw. Therefore, as long as the Islamic political parties endeavor to adhere to Islam by means of democracy, they will not achieve their goal
"It is a duty… We are duty-bound to establish an Islamic state, and the Muslims are duty-bound to live in an Islamic country. Muslims are forbidden to live in an infidel country. Sheik Fawzan Al-Fawzan issued a fatwa forbidding Muslims to live in the countries of the infidels. That is why we are committed to establishing an Islamic state.
The path that the Prophet Muhammad bid us to take is the path of preaching and Jihad. Waging Jihad is the proper conduct. That is why it is essential to establish an Islamic state by means of preaching and Jihad. We have tried to do this in Indonesia, by committing ourselves to Islamic preaching."
Islam by its very existence us sedition. Mr. Bakr Ba’shir understands the Koran well, and bases his assessment on his perfect understanding of the Islamic imperative. We would do well to listen to him, and heed his words.
I like our country the way it is.
There are already too many "Islamic" states in the world, but I'm sure that one of them will allow you to immigrate to it.
Think of it! Sharia law is already imposed. Women are property. You can own slaves. Dhimmis have been subdued (or killed). Everybody knows (or is afraid to admit otherwise) that the Qur'an is the perfect book. All the other books are burned. Imagination is dead. Women are "dressed" in cloth Hefty bags.
This is as close to Paradise that a Muslim can get! Why live in the decadent West? Get yourself back to your posse! You'll feel so much better.
Frankly, so will we.

Mohammed
Mohammed entered his classroom on the first day of school.
"What is your name?" asked the teacher.
"Mohammed". . .. answered the kid.
"You are in America now. From now on your name will be Johnny," replied the teacher.
In the evening, Mohammed returned home. "How was your day, Mohammed?" asked his mother.
"My name is not Mohammed. Im in America and now my name is Johnny."
"Ah, are you ashamed of your name, are you trying to dishonor your parents, your heritage, your religion? Shame on you!" and she beat him.
Then she called his father and he too beat him.
The next day Mohammed returned to school.
When the teacher saw him with all the bruises she asked, "What happened to you little Johnny"?
"Well ma'am, 20 hours after becoming an American,
I was attacked by two friggin Arabs."
"What is your name?" asked the teacher.
"Mohammed". . .. answered the kid.

Fort Hood Denial – by Jamie Glazov
As the United States prepares to try Nidal Malik Hasan for 13 counts of murder and 32 counts of attempted murder at Fort Hood last month, few question the suspect’s guilt, but many disagree about his motives.
Yet the evidence is now conclusive: the Fort Hood massacre was an act of Islamic terror. Before his shooting spree, Hasan told colleagues that non-Muslims were infidels condemned to hell and that they should be beheaded and have boiling oil poured down their throats.
Hasan traded 18 e-mails with Anwar al-Awlaki, an al-Qaida recruiter. On the morning of the massacre, he gave his neighbor a Koran as he was departing for the base, telling her that he was going to do “good work for God.” Wearing Pakistani garb, Hasan shouted “Allahu akbar” as he began firing at U.S. troops.
Despite the plentiful evidence, however, leftists refuse to accept Hasan’s Islamic inspiration.
We’ve heard the rationalizations: Hasan was a nut; the stresses of serving in the military drove him crazy; he experienced anti-Islamic discrimination; anyone is capable of “losing it” under such stressful conditions; and so on.
These reflexive denials are a logical continuation of the Left’s long tradition of denying the evil of our totalitarian enemies—or, when forced to acknowledge them, blaming them on the United States. This was the pattern throughout the Cold War, and it’s continued during the War on Terror.
When it’s proven beyond reasonable doubt that jihadism was in fact Hasan’s motive, here’s a prediction: leftists will either fall into apathetic silence or respond that it was American racism, oppression, and Islamophobia that forced Hasan’s hand.
To recognize the evil of Nidal Hasan and his ideology, to admit the existence of pernicious enemies, is to concede that there are societies, cultures, and systems that are much more unjust than ours. This is an untenable step for leftists to take, because it means acknowledging that there is something superior about our civilization that’s worth saving and defending.
The notion that his own society is evil and unjust is the bedrock of the leftist’s vision. Wicked capitalists trample on the poor, the oppressed, and the downtrodden; the leftist appoints himself to rescue these victims.
He is a self-styled social redeemer, leading a movement to liberate the masses, even if it results in the destruction of his own society. This political mission provides him with immense moral indignation and, therefore, moral superiority, dispositions from which, in turn, he derives emotional self-gratification. His whole belief system provides him with a sense of belonging; he joins other social redeemers, as well as the victims, real or imagined, who wait for him to break their chains.
Thus, the leftist’s political disposition is a faith that reinforces his personal identity and sense of belonging. Admitting that Hasan is a jihadist would undermine that faith. It would also expose the leftist to potential excommunication from his social community.
He’d become politically suspect to his peers, perhaps even accused of becoming a reactionary right-winger. That’s why we will continue to witness more Fort Hood denial from the Left, with all of its irrationality and disregard for human life.

Feds: Sudbury man planned terrorist attacks at shopping malls
By Laura Crimaldi and Laurel J. Sweet Wednesday, October 21, 2009 -
http://news.bostonherald.com/news/regional/view.bg?articleid=1206282&srvc=home&position=emailed
A 27-year-old man from Sudbury has been arrested on charges he planned terrorism attacks inside and outside the United States, including a plot to use automatic weapons to open fire at shoppers and emergency responders in shopping malls, federal prosecutors said today.
Tarek Mehanna, of 6 Fairhaven Circle, is accused of conspiring with Ahmad Abousamra and others to obtain the automatic weapons needed to carry out a mall ambush in which they planned to open fire at random, said Acting U.S. Attorney Michael K. Loucks. Mehanna was already out on bail from a federal arrest last year, charged with lying during a terrorism probe.
Mehanna was arrested at his home at 6 a.m. this morning and booked at the Sudbury police station before being turned over to federal authorities. Federal agents have searched Mehanna’s home and say he is a U.S. citizen. A bail hearing has been scheduled for 1:30 p.m. in federal court.
Abousamra left the United States for Syria on Dec. 26, 2006, officials said. He said he would be back within a month after visiting his wife, but has never returned, officials said.
“At this time we don’t believe there are any active terrorist cells in this area,” said FBI special-agent-in-charge Warren T. Bamford.
The plot included plans to fire at emergency responders, but was abandoned because the men could not obtain the weapons, authorities said. They declined to name the mall or malls the men were targeting.
“We live in a free country. We don’t live in a police state. We do have places where if someone wants to do a terrorist act they can probably accomplish it,” said Loucks at a press conference. “We do our best. It’s amazing it hasn’t happened yet.”
Prosecutors also allege the men discussed participating in violent Jihad against American interests and their desire to die on the “battlefield.” The crimes are alleged to have taken place between 2001 and 2008.
Mehanna and Abousamra are also accused of traveling to Yemen in 2004 to find a terrorist training camp and learn how to engage in jihad, officials said.
Sudbury police chief Richard Glavin said he expects residents to be surprised by the development. There had been no calls for service to Mehanna’s home, where he lives with his parents, he said.
“I’m sure that people are concerned and alarmed,” said Glavin. “Regardless of where this occurred, in Sudbury or in other communities, this is obviously of concern to everyone.”
Mehanna was charged with lying to FBI Joint Terrorism Task Force investigators last year during a probe into whether Daniel Maldonado was participating in al-Qaeda training in Somalia. He was arrested in November 2008 at Logan International Airport while boarding a plane to Saudi Arabia for that offense. He was out on bail from that arrest when he was apprehended this morning.
In that case, FBI investigators interviewed Mehanna on Dec. 16, 2006, according to a federal complaint. The FBI alleges Mehanna knew Maldonado was training for jihad in Somalia. Further, the complaint states Maldonado was encouraging Mehanna to join him there.
Mehanna told the FBI Maldonado was working for a Web site in Egypt and had infrequent contact with him, the complaint states. The FBI asserted Maldonado had contacted Mehanna three times from Somalia on Dec. 12, 2006.
Maldonado was arrested in February 2007 near the Somalia border by Kenyan authorities on charges he trained at al-Qaeda camps in Somalia, the complaint states.
- This is the fifth attempted terror attack in the US in about 90 days. THANK GOD FOR OUR ENFORCEMENT AGENCIES!!! How long before one of these become succesful?

Mass man accused of plot to kill U.S politicians
BOSTON – A Massachusetts man and two friends tried and failed to get into terrorist training camps and then plotted to kill two prominent U.S. politicians and randomly shoot people at American shopping malls, authorities said Wednesday.
Tarek Mehanna, who recently taught at a Muslim school in Worcester, was arrested early Wednesday at his parents' suburban Boston home. Mehanna was charged with conspiring with two other men — an American now in Syria and another man who is cooperating with authorities — to provide support to terrorists.
Ultimately, the trio never came close to pulling off an attack. Authorities say they never got the terrorist training they sought — that the men told friends they were turned down because of their nationality, ethnicity or inexperience, or that the people they'd hoped would get them into such camps were either in jail or on a religious pilgrimage.
The men abandoned the mall attack plans after their weapons contact said he could find only handguns, not automatic weapons.
The men used code words such as "peanut butter and jelly" for fighting in Somalia and "culinary school" for terrorist camps, and talked extensively of their desire to "die on the battlefield," according to court documents.
Mehanna, who has taught math and religion at Alhuda Academy, made a defiant court appearance hours after his arrest. He refused to stand to hear the charge against him and finally did — tossing his chair loudly to the floor — only after his father urged him to do so.
"This really, really is a show," his father, Ahmed Mehanna, said as his son was being led away in handcuffs. When asked if he believed the charges against his son, he said, "No, definitely not."
Prosecutors said Mehanna worked with two men from 2001 to May 2008 on the conspiracy that, over time, intended to "kill, kidnap, maim or injure" soldiers and two politicians who were members of the executive branch but are no longer in office. Authorities refused to identify the politicians and said they were never in danger.
Acting U.S. Attorney Michael Loucks said the men justified the planned attacks on malls because U.S. civilians pay taxes to support the U.S. government and because they are "nonbelievers," Loucks said. He refused to identify the targeted malls.
Mehanna — who received a doctorate in 2008 from the Massachusetts College of Pharmacy in Boston, where his father is a professor — allegedly conspired with Ahmad Abousamra, who authorities say is now in Syria.
Mehanna, 27, is being held without bail until his next court appearance on Oct. 30.
"I'm confident that the American people will put aside their fears and instead rely on the fairness guaranteed by our Constitution," said his attorney, J.W. Carney Jr. "Mr. Mehanna is entitled to that."
Rola Yaghmour, 20, of Shrewsbury and her family are friends with the Mehannas and she said she couldn't believe the new charges against Mehanna, calling him a "good man."
"He's not going to go crazy in a mall. There's no way he would do something like that," she said. "I read it and I was laughing, and I was like, 'They have to be kidding.' Because there's no way he would do something like that. It makes no sense. I was in shock. That's not like him at all nor his family, nothing of them at all."
Mehanna first was arrested in November and charged with lying to the FBI in December 2006 when asked the whereabouts of Daniel Maldonado, who is now serving a 10-year prison sentence for training with al-Qaida to overthrow the Somali government.
Authorities said Wednesday that Mehanna and his conspirators had contacted Maldonado about getting automatic weapons for their planned mall attacks, but he told them he could only get handguns.
Court documents filed by the government say that in 2002, Abousamra became frustrated after repeatedly being rejected to join terror groups in Pakistan — first Lashkar e Tayyiba, then the Taliban.
"Because Abousamra was an Arab (not Pakistani) the LeT camp would not accept him, and because of Abousamra's lack of experience, the Taliban camp would not accept him," Williams wrote in the affidavit.
Mehanna and Abousamra traveled to Yemen in 2004 in an attempt to join a terrorist training camp, according to court documents.
Mehanna allegedly told a friend, the third conspirator who is now cooperating with authorities, that their trip was a failure because they were unable to reach people affiliated with the camps.
Abousamra said he was rejected by a terror group when he sought training in Iraq because he was American, authorities said.
Tarek Mehanna, who recently taught at a Muslim school in Worcester, was arrested early Wednesday at his parents' suburban Boston home. Mehanna was charged with conspiring with two other men — an American now in Syria and another man who is cooperating with authorities — to provide support to terrorists.

Authorities said Wednesday that Mehanna and his conspirators had contacted Maldonado about getting automatic weapons for their planned mall attacks, but he told them he could only get handguns.
Court documents filed by the government say that in 2002, Abousamra became frustrated after repeatedly being rejected to join terror groups in Pakistan — first Lashkar e Tayyiba, then the Taliban.
"Because Abousamra was an Arab (not Pakistani) the LeT camp would not accept him, and because of Abousamra's lack of experience, the Taliban camp would not accept him," Williams wrote in the affidavit.
Mehanna and Abousamra traveled to Yemen in 2004 in an attempt to join a terrorist training camp, according to court documents.
Mehanna allegedly told a friend, the third conspirator who is now cooperating with authorities, that their trip was a failure because they were unable to reach people affiliated with the camps.
Abousamra said he was rejected by a terror group when he sought training in Iraq because he was American, authorities said.

Sharia Law and the US ConstitutionBy Louis Palme
Oct 14, 2009
Americans are among the most tolerant and patriotic people in the world. As a nation of immigrants, there is a certain appeal to the idea of multiculturalism where people of different backgrounds are accepted in our communities. Our nation was founded on the principles of equality and freedom, and we have invested our resources and blood over and over again to defend those principles. Our constitution guarantees not only the freedom of speech, but also the freedom to practice our religion of choice. So it is not surprising that many Americans see Sharia Law as a Muslim religious prerogative which we should support or at least tolerate. Banks have rushed to provide Sharia-compliant banking, and public institutions like universities and airports have spent taxpayer dollars to help Muslims comply with their religious requirements, providing special foot-baths and prayer rooms for them.
If anyone speaks out against Sharia Law, there is often a strong reaction within the Muslim community. This month, Dalia Mogahed, President Obama’s advisor on Muslim affairs, complained on British television that the Western view of Sharia was “oversimplified” and misunderstood. While acknowledging that even Muslims associate Sharia with draconian criminal punishments and laws that seem unequal for women, she stated, “Part of the reason there is this perception of Sharia is because Sharia is not well understood and Islam as a faith is not well understood.” The London-based Islam Channel panel she was on made repeated attacks against secular “man-made Law” and the West’s “lethal cocktail of liberty and capitalism.” Ms. Mogahed described her government role as “to convey . . to the President and other public officials what it is Muslims want.”

A similar reaction took place in a recent US Congressional hearing on the dangers posed by political Islam. Dr. Zuhdi Jasser, one of the most prominent Muslim reformers in the United States, testified, “I think if Muslims want credibility and we want to be respected equally, we need to stand for reform within our faith of [Sharia] laws that are still in the 15th and 16th Century.” He explained that the jihadists will not be defeated until Muslims start to recognize that their ideology is on a slippery slope toward radicalism. In response to this testimony, Muslim Congressman Keith Ellison (D, Mn) delivered a verbal tirade that accused Dr. Jasser of encouraging anti-Muslim bigotry and attempting to censor Islamists. Ellison said to Dr. Jasser, “I think you give people license for bigotry. I think people who engage in nothing less than Muslim-hating really love you a lot because you give them freedom to do that. You say, ‘yeah, go get after them.’ . . Now is somebody going to snatch my 13-year-old daughter’s hijab off, call her a horrible name, and spit on her because of something you said, Dr. Jasser? I worry about that.”

So, to better understand whether Sharia Law is desirable (or even legal) in the United States, it might be instructive to compare it with the US Constitution. This isn’t too difficult for the layman because the US Constitution is only 17 pages long, including its 27 amendments. Sharia Law is well-documented in the 1,200 page Classic Manual of Islamic Sacred Law, “The Reliance of the Traveler” by Ahmad ibn Naqib al-Misri, and published in the United States by Amana Publications. While the original document dates to the late 14th Century, it has been updated in the 1990’s and bears the approval of the Fiqh Council of North America as well as the authoritative Al-Azhar Islamic Research Academy in Egypt. The introduction to this manual states, “The four Sunni schools of Islamic Law . . are identical in approximately 75 percent of the legal conclusions. . . [T]he authors of the present volume and their positions do represent the orthodox Muslim intellectual and spiritual heritage that has been the strength of the Community for over a thousand years . . to the present day.”
While this volume of Sharia Law is primarily about the religious practice of Islam, the 800 pages of the manual devoted to rules and regulations also include sections on Trade, Inheritance, Marriage (suitable partners, legal rights, custody), Divorce, and Justice which would fall under civil law in the United States. Those sections comprise 35% of the manual, and are among the most controversial because they impose draconian punishments, authorize jihad, and sanction discrimination on the basis of religion and gender.
The summary below highlights the serious disconnects between the provisions of the US Constitution and those of Sharia Law.
LEGISLATIVE POWERS
US Constitution
Article I - All legislative Powers shall be vested in the Congress.
Sharia Law
The source of legal rulings for all acts of those who are morally responsible is Allah. (a1.1) It is not a sin to comply with man-made laws that require buying auto insurance or having a photo ID because “the authorities are responsible for the sin, not the individual forced to comply.” (w42.3 and w50.4)
POWER TO DECLARE WAR
US Constitution
Section 8 – Powers of Congress include to levy taxes, to make laws, and to declare war.
Sharia Law
It is obligatory to obey the commands and interdictions of the caliph or his representative in everything that is lawful, even if he is unjust . . because the purpose of his authority is Islamic unity, which could not be realized if obeying him were not obligatory. (o25.5) The caliph or his representative have the duty of undertaking jihad if their territory borders on enemy lands, of dividing the spoils of battle, and of remitting a fifth for “deserving recipients.” (o25.9(8))
Jihad is obligatory for everyone when the enemy has surrounded the Muslims. (o9.3) It is permissible in jihad to cut down the enemy’s trees and destroy their dwellings. (o9.1)
PRESIDENT (CALIPH)
US Constitution
Article II, Section I -- Qualifications of a President – He must be a natural born citizen, thirty-five years old, and a resident for fourteen years. The President is elected by ballot by the people (via the Electors) and shall serve for no more than 2 four-year terms.
No religious test shall ever be required as a qualification to any office or public trust under the United States.
Sharia Law
A caliph must be a Muslim, a non-slave, a male, of the Quraysh tribe, etc. (o25.0)
The Caliph appoints a group to select his successor among themselves. There is no a term of office. However, the caliphate of someone who seizes power is considered valid, even though his act of usurpation is disobedience, in view of the danger from anarchy and strife that would otherwise ensue. (o25.4(3))
(Note: The Islamic Caliphate was disbanded the Turkish Parliament in 1924.)
REMOVAL OF GOVERNMENT OFFICERS
US Constitution
Section 4 – The President and all civil Officers of the United States shall be removed from office if found guilty of treason, bribery, or other high crimes and misdemeanors.
Sharia Law
(No provision for removal from office.)
LEGAL AUTHORITY
US Constitution
Article VI – This Constitution and the laws of the United States which shall be made under it shall be the supreme law of the land, and judges in every state shall be bound by them.
Senators and Representatives, legislative officers, all executive and judicial officers both of the United States and the several states shall be bound by a Oath or Affirmation to support the Constitution.
Sharia Law
The source of legal rulings for all acts of those who are morally responsible is Allah. (a1.1)
CIVIL AND RELIGIOUS RIGHTS
US Constitution
Amendment 1 – Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, prohibiting the free exercise thereof, or abridging the freedom of speech, or the press, or the right of the people to peaceably assemble, and to petition the Government for redress of grievances.
Sharia Law
Non-Muslims are obliged to comply with Islamic rules that pertain to the safety and indemnity of life, reputation, and property. Non-Muslims are forbidden to openly display wine or pork, recite their scriptures, or make a public display of feast days or funerals. Non-Muslims are forbidden to build new churches. A non-Muslim may not enter a mosque without permission. The protection for non-Muslims is withdrawn if a non-Muslim commits adultery with a Muslim woman or marries her, leads a Muslim away from Islam, kills a Muslim, or says anything derogatory about Allah, the Prophet, or Islam. (o11.5 through o11.10)
US Constitution
Amendment 2 – The right of people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed.
Sharia Law
It is a condition that someone buying weapons be of a people who are not at war with Muslims. (k1.2(f))
Enormities (sins) include selling weapons to non-Muslims who will use them against us. (w52.1(192))
US Constitution
Amendment 3 – No soldier shall, in time of peace be quartered in any house, without the consent of the owner, nor in time of war, but in a manner prescribed by law.
Sharia Law
(Not covered.) However, the Pact of Omar (636 AD) imposed on Christians in Syria, “We shall keep our gates wide open for passersby and travelers. We shall give board and lodging to all Muslims who pass our way for three days.”
US Constitution
Amendments 4 – 8 – These amendments prohibit unreasonable searches, require due process according to the law, provide for confrontation of witnesses, impose jury trial on all matters involving over $20, and prohibit excessive fines and cruel and unusual punishments. Amendment 14 provides for equal protection of the laws for all citizens.
Sharia Law
No testimony may be made by people who have lowly jobs, such as a street sweeper or a bath house attendant, or non-Muslim. (o24.2-3)
Testimony regarding fornication or sodomy requires four male eye-witnesses to the act. (o24.9)
A woman’s testimony is worth only half that of a man. (o24.10)
(There is no provision for a jury trial under Sharia Law.)
Cruel and unusual Islamic punishments include 1) stoning for adultery (o12.2); 2) scourging 40 lashes with hands, shoes, ends of clothes, or a whip for drunkenness (o16.3); 3) severing the right hand for theft of over $36 and the left foot for a repeat offense (o14.1); and 4) death for apostasy from Islam. (o8.2)
Indemnity for accidentally killing a male Muslim is 100 camels or 4,235 grams of gold. (Current value: $144,000.) Indemnity for killing a woman is half that of a man, for killing a Jew or a Christian is one-third of the indemnity paid for a Muslim. The indemnity paid for a killing Zoroastrian is one-fifteenth of that of a Muslim. The indemnity for causing a miscarriage is one slave. (o4.9)
There is no indemnity for a killing a non-Muslim at war with Muslims, an apostate, or someone sentenced to death by stoning. (o14.17)
Jews and Christians are subject to a “poll tax” not less than 1 dinar (Current value: $144) per adult male per year. No maximum is stipulated. (o11.4) This is a penalty for remaining in their ancestral religion instead of embracing the “religion of truth.” (o9.8)
A husband may beat a “rebellious” wife for 1) not allowing immediate sexual intercourse when he asks for it, at home, and if she can physically endure it; 2) answering him coldly; or 3) being averse when she was previously kind. (m5.1 and m10.12) The only limitation is that he may not break her bones, wound her, or cause bleeding.
US Constitution
Amendment 13 Slavery and involuntary servitude are abolished.
Sharia Law
The section on Slavery (k32.0) is not translated into English. The provisions remain in Arabic. The editor of “The Reliance of the Traveler” claims that these provisions are no longer applicable, yet they remain in there in the text of Sharia Law. Elsewhere, the manual states, “Originally the status of slave was simply the outcome of having been taken as a prisoner of war. A captive who could not buy his own freedom by means of ransom remained in the possession of the captor until he had earned his freedom by work or until he was granted liberty by his master.” (w13.1)
US Constitution
Amendment 21 repealed “prohibition,” thereby allowing manufacture, sale, and transport of alcoholic beverages.
Sharia Law
It is unlawful to sell grapes to someone who will make wine from them. (k4.9) “Allah cursed whoever drinks wine, gives it to others to drink, sells it, buys it, presses it for another, transports it, receives it, or eats its price.”
Enormities (sins) include drinking wine in any form or other intoxicant, even if only a drop as in medicine; pressing out the juice to make wine or other intoxicant; carrying it for purposes of drinking, or having it carried; serving it to others or having it served; selling it; buying it; having it bought or sold; consuming proceeds from selling it; or keeping wine or other intoxicant. (o16.6 and w52.1(350-361))
So, the next time someone suggests that we should be more understanding of Sharia Law, it would be fair to ask him/her what parts of our US Constitution would he/she be willing to abandon in order to accommodate Sharia Law.

Conversation with an Islamic Idiot on Youtube
Here is what the average non-muslim person gets into, when they try to ask questions to a muslim. Youtube is known for extremists and islamic excusers, and here is a good example:
BBJ:
Why don't muslims speak out against Radical Islamists?
TaberLionsDad:
Yo"BIackbootJack" Muslims all over the world speak against radical element's in their society. But its just not good enough for the Zionist machine (oooops) who want's blood. Actually western powers and my friend "Z" they really want a pre-text to go into Iraq etc etc in the name of freedom and steal all the oil while at it. Its not in their interest to see a Islam that is not "violent" hence you-tube videos like this completely designed to get an angry reaction with no intellectual basis.
BBJ:
How come we have never heard of any muslims standing up and denouncing violence?
Are you saying that Islamic media is afraid to publicize it?
TaberLionsDad:
What's interesting "BIackbootJack" is that all the Muslim countries that have lot of natural resources become top priority for the west to go and implement democracy whilst In Africa there was genocide but the west was not interested. The est knowingly put Saddam in power a known nutcase so that they will have to return to get him out of power and and at the same time steal all the oil?!?!Binladen as taught his views in Saudi, but America not a word against them, oil my friend oil!!?!!??!
BBJ:
Last I remember, the West does not "steal" oil. They buy it. Its a business.
But lets stay on that....If America gives BILLIONS of dollars to Arabic oil sources, why are most of the muslim people, poor and have little or no chance of wealth?
TaberLionsDad:
Muslims are generally well off!!!.....are you talking crap again "BIackbootJack" stop talking crap...anyway what is that to do with anything?!?!?! are u trying to make some sort of a connection with ur limited edition IQ power.
BBJ:
Everytime I see people in Islamic countries, all they do is walk the streets. Anyways, heres question number two:
Is it a prerequsite to hate the Jews if you are a muslim? IS it a law or something?
TaberLionsDad:
(silence)
BBJ:
c'mon...I don't have all day.
TaberLionsDad:
(crickets are chirping here)
BBJ:
taberliondad...is it safe to say..you ran away?
TaberLionsdad:
(more silence)
BBJ:
(watching FOX News...staring at the ceiling...rolling my eyes....)
TaberlionsDad:
(still more silence)
BBJ:
ZZZZZZZZzzzzzzzzzzz.........
= TWO HOURS LATER-
TaberLionsDad:
Yo"BIackbootJack" i'm back!!! son!!! i was a bit busy,was with your ..? well lets not say it here.
No!! Muslims don't hate Jews per say. But if someone is looting your house, demolishing your homes, making your life hell, its only normal to have ill feelings towards them, were only humans. But!!! we shouldn't stereotype what the 99.99% of jews are doing in Israel. In short I like a good Jew vise versa..
BBJ:
oh c'mon man! i already published it...do I have to go back and re-open?
TaberLionsDad:
(answering another poster named Brdstfff)
No "Brdstfff" if we stop the oil you will be on your knees!!! We haev enough money to buy from any other country like the Japanese. And b4 you say i, NO!!! the oil will last forever!!!
BBJ:
what do you mean by "we"....do you control the oil? Are you one of the islamic counbtry leaders?
They will never shut off oil...they need the American money to keep their whores and mistress in line...while their people walk the street and starve, looking for jobs that don't exist
TaberLionsDad:
C'mon my ass "BIackbootJack" you two timing fagit, you've edited our conversation and tried to make me look bad. I went on your blogger, man you are indeeeed!! saaaad!!! I mean do you really spend all that time just to express your hate towards all the Muslims. You hate all 1.6billion Muslims. In your sick head do you think just one muslim may be a good human!?!?
BBJ:
I edited NOTHING you shit head!! It is copied and pasted just the way you said it!
Damn liar! Can't face the facts can you ?
TaberLionsDad:
I'm no country leader but i own a Ferrari and a Aston Martin, my uncle is in the oil business?!?! Anyways, Yes some of the leaders in Muslim countries are bad and its sad that their people are waking on the street with a beak future. But what's more sad that a retard like "BIackbootJack" understands that but yet you hate all 1.6billion Muslims, including the poor ones on street, who are what they are only cos thats all they knew. your sick maan!?!?
BBJ:
Well...if thats all they know..and they have nothing...why aren't you donating your very wealthy petro-dollars to help them get jobs and keep them from starving?
Is it that you don't want to part with your "Aston Martin" or your Ferrari"?
In your last comment you said " If WE shut off the oil"...aren't you supposed to be an Islamic Nation of One?
Where is your sense of duty to your fellow muslims?
TaberLionsdad:
You my dear asshole "BIackbootJack" are the shit head!!! if people watching this site view down the list of comments say ten pages back they can see your sick, repulsive, provocative language that made me say the right things but in a little wrong way?!?!? RETARD!!!
BJ:
Now that is incorrect...i never did that, nor would I ever do that. You must be taking everything out of context....go back and answer my questions....I have a blog to maintain...
come on...chop chop...move it.
TaberLionsdad:
I use to have 7 Ferrari's and 3 Aston Martins. I gave them up and spent the money on the poor. Also produced literature to distribute to the world creating awareness of the state terrorism by the Zionist oppression of the innocent people of palestine (not Hamas). I also helped George Galloway to make clear to the world what the Zionist are doing. And we are one!!!
BBJ:
Uh Huh...Well...thats all very good....
I am so glad to hear that...
Makes me think back to the time I was talking to Bill Gates of Microsoft along with Bill Clinton, Idi Amin, and Glenn Beck on how to help the starving in Africa.
Did I mention I had 10 Jaguars, 5 BMW's, and 17 Rolls Royce?
But I sold them to help the starving poor in Wakapookastan
Anyways..back to our chat...
Would you mind answering the questions I asked?
TaberLionsDad:
Yo"BIackbootJack" is true that down below when you exceed the commenting limit and you have to put in the text in the field, it takes you about 12 attempts cos of your IQ level??!?
BBJ:
not really....it takes me awhile because I am posting our chat on my blog at the same time...
keep up the good work.
answer my questions please.
TaberLionsDad:
Listen! "BIackbootJack" i can't be here chatting to you forever, and as a born-retard you hardly make any intellectual points anyway. I'll let you in on a secret. Everytime i go for a poop i made it my business to take my laptop to respond to your comments?! i picture you better while pooping. Ever since i've met you i've been pooping more than usual!?!
Your killing me man, C'mon!! there's a limit, i can't be shitting with you ....sorry i mean chatting with you all day.
BBJ:
Oh so you admit Islam is full of shit!! As if we didn't know...
Anyways..I see you did answer my questions before...next question:
Why do the Islamic terrorists follow the Koran to the letter?
TaberLionsDad:
Wakapookastan, is that where your mum and dad are from!!!
......Hey!! that sounds like Pakistan!!! ..You racist redneck bigot....it;s a variation of that word "pakistan" twisted in your sick mind!!!
u just said couple of comment's ago that pakistan is good!! and now this indirect racist remark!!! sick ass liar!!!
BBJ:
Hey!! Don't call me a liar, you....you...you...wife beater!!
Anyways..back to our very civilized conversation....
again, if you please..Why do the ISLAMIC MUSLIM Terrorists follow the Koran to the letter?
TaberLionsDad:
Yo "BIackbootJack" i can't answer your question cos i can't concentrate!!! the shitting and now this "yurgy1" character who can't communicate in english anyways has started to talk some other shit!!! tell him to piss off and then i'll answer your question.
BBJ:
Awwww...forget it...
I have to hit the toilet anyways.
TaberLionsDad:
Chicken shit!!!
BBJ:
Why don't muslims speak out against Radical Islamists?
TaberLionsDad:
Yo"BIackbootJack" Muslims all over the world speak against radical element's in their society. But its just not good enough for the Zionist machine (oooops) who want's blood. Actually western powers and my friend "Z" they really want a pre-text to go into Iraq etc etc in the name of freedom and steal all the oil while at it. Its not in their interest to see a Islam that is not "violent" hence you-tube videos like this completely designed to get an angry reaction with no intellectual basis.
BBJ:
How come we have never heard of any muslims standing up and denouncing violence?
Are you saying that Islamic media is afraid to publicize it?
TaberLionsDad:
What's interesting "BIackbootJack" is that all the Muslim countries that have lot of natural resources become top priority for the west to go and implement democracy whilst In Africa there was genocide but the west was not interested. The est knowingly put Saddam in power a known nutcase so that they will have to return to get him out of power and and at the same time steal all the oil?!?!Binladen as taught his views in Saudi, but America not a word against them, oil my friend oil!!?!!??!
BBJ:
Last I remember, the West does not "steal" oil. They buy it. Its a business.
But lets stay on that....If America gives BILLIONS of dollars to Arabic oil sources, why are most of the muslim people, poor and have little or no chance of wealth?
TaberLionsDad:
Muslims are generally well off!!!.....are you talking crap again "BIackbootJack" stop talking crap...anyway what is that to do with anything?!?!?! are u trying to make some sort of a connection with ur limited edition IQ power.
BBJ:
Everytime I see people in Islamic countries, all they do is walk the streets. Anyways, heres question number two:
Is it a prerequsite to hate the Jews if you are a muslim? IS it a law or something?
TaberLionsDad:
(silence)
BBJ:
c'mon...I don't have all day.
TaberLionsDad:
(crickets are chirping here)
BBJ:
taberliondad...is it safe to say..you ran away?
TaberLionsdad:
(more silence)
BBJ:
(watching FOX News...staring at the ceiling...rolling my eyes....)
TaberlionsDad:
(still more silence)
BBJ:
ZZZZZZZZzzzzzzzzzzz.........
= TWO HOURS LATER-
TaberLionsDad:
Yo"BIackbootJack" i'm back!!! son!!! i was a bit busy,was with your ..? well lets not say it here.
No!! Muslims don't hate Jews per say. But if someone is looting your house, demolishing your homes, making your life hell, its only normal to have ill feelings towards them, were only humans. But!!! we shouldn't stereotype what the 99.99% of jews are doing in Israel. In short I like a good Jew vise versa..
BBJ:
oh c'mon man! i already published it...do I have to go back and re-open?
TaberLionsDad:
(answering another poster named Brdstfff)
No "Brdstfff" if we stop the oil you will be on your knees!!! We haev enough money to buy from any other country like the Japanese. And b4 you say i, NO!!! the oil will last forever!!!
BBJ:
what do you mean by "we"....do you control the oil? Are you one of the islamic counbtry leaders?
They will never shut off oil...they need the American money to keep their whores and mistress in line...while their people walk the street and starve, looking for jobs that don't exist
TaberLionsDad:
C'mon my ass "BIackbootJack" you two timing fagit, you've edited our conversation and tried to make me look bad. I went on your blogger, man you are indeeeed!! saaaad!!! I mean do you really spend all that time just to express your hate towards all the Muslims. You hate all 1.6billion Muslims. In your sick head do you think just one muslim may be a good human!?!?
BBJ:
I edited NOTHING you shit head!! It is copied and pasted just the way you said it!
Damn liar! Can't face the facts can you ?
TaberLionsDad:
I'm no country leader but i own a Ferrari and a Aston Martin, my uncle is in the oil business?!?! Anyways, Yes some of the leaders in Muslim countries are bad and its sad that their people are waking on the street with a beak future. But what's more sad that a retard like "BIackbootJack" understands that but yet you hate all 1.6billion Muslims, including the poor ones on street, who are what they are only cos thats all they knew. your sick maan!?!?
BBJ:
Well...if thats all they know..and they have nothing...why aren't you donating your very wealthy petro-dollars to help them get jobs and keep them from starving?

A Warning From A Sheriff About What Could Come Next
I wanted to share this with everyone. PLEASE read it through and comment.
"
From a friend in San Diego,
To all my friends - Deputy and Civilian alike: - - -
A fellow Deputy passed this on to members of our Department...I have
taken the same training that he refers to in his letter. I do agree
that schools & children are their next focus. Please read his entire
memo – I believe you will find it very interesting. The attached slide
show has some amazing photos from 911 from the air. When viewing you
must click to advance each of the pictures.
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
On This September 11, 2009
This is an open letter from San Diego Sheriff’s Deputy to his unit. I
thought you might find it worthwhile.
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
On this anniversary of the attack on our nation, I ask that you reflect
on a few things. The attack killed approximately as many of our
countrymen as did the attack on Pearl Harbor. The military has
continued to prosecute the "war on terror", although with questionable
support from congress and waning interest from the American people.
Where is the outrage, the resolve, the unity of our populace?
Far more Americans can name the American Idol finalists than can name the #2 in
command of al-Qaeda. Politicians lie, waffle, or fold like a house of
cards rather than leading. However, there is one man we can trust. He
hasn't lied to us yet. Any promise he has made he is either planning
to keep, has already accomplished, or made a serious effort to do so.
We would do well to trust in what he says. To whom do I refer? The
man is Osama bin Laden.
Unlike American politicians elected by a
mindless and/or self centered electorate in little more than popularity
contests, OBL's reputation and continued power depends upon him keeping
his word. I firmly believe that he will do his utmost to continue to
keep his word.
When I've done terrorism training within the department and as an
outside contractor, I've been asked many times what does al-Qaeda have
in store for America next? I answered that no one knows that for sure,
but we would do well to examine what they have done elsewhere and what
they have said they will do. Both points have been strong indicators
of their intentions. With that in mind, I suggest they have at least
one course of action in the planning stages. Al-Qaeda knows that
children are near and dear to the American psyche.
Consider the following points, overlooked or minimized by the mainstream media:
Videotapes confiscated in Afghanistan showing al-Qaeda terrorists
training to takeover a school.
*
An Iraqi national with known terrorist connections caught with a
computer disk containing information detailing Department of
Education crisis planning for U.S school districts.
*
Two Saudi men - one wearing a black trench coat despite the Florida
heat -- terrifying a busload of Tampa schoolchildren by boarding a
school bus and remaining for the entire ride to school, all the while
laughing and speaking Arabic.
*
A March FBI/DHS bulletin noting "recent suspicious activity" by
foreigners who drive school buses, are licensed to drive them, or have
actually managed to purchase them right here at home.
*
(the next few are VERY scary - BlackbootJack)
*
Members of "unnamed extremist groups" (al-Qaeda affiliates) who have
obtained commercial drivers licenses with school bus endorsements.
*
Osama bin Laden's promise that the 2004 terrorist attack at Beslan will
happen many times over in the United States.
*
Al-Qaeda spokesman Suleiman Abu Gheith‘s declaration of al-Qaeda's "right" to kill 2 million American children.
*
Most Americans have a short attention span, which is only exacerbated
by the media. An event that happened eight years ago is nearly ancient
history to them. However, the radical Islamists never forget and they
work on a timeline of centuries. When Saladin captured Jerusalem in
1187 it was the culmination of a struggle that had its root in the 7th
century. Whether it is al-Qaeda, the Taliban, Jemaah Islamiya,
Al-Shabaab, or any other of their ilk, their goal is the death of the
West and the reinstatement of the Islamic caliphate - worldwide rule.
When I heard the Colonel give a presentation on the terrorist threat to
America's school children, he quoted a Marine headed to Afghanistan who
responded as to what cops could do for him. He said. "I've got your
12, you watch my six. Do your job." He asked us to keep his kids and
his family safe. This may raise the question, "But I'm only one cop.
What can I do?" It was one off duty cop that pinned down the active
shooter in the Utah mall until he could be neutralized. It was one
security officer that stopped the shooter at the El Al terminal at LAX.
It was one border officer that interdicted Ahmed Ressam at Port
Angeles, Washington on his way to bomb LAX.
If you do not mentally rehearse crisis response, if you do not remain
aware of your surroundings in all situations, if you do not stay
proficient with the weapons you have been entrusted to use, then you
are not fully doing your job. I encourage you to rethink and change
that. Never forget September 11. Honor our fellow Americans who died
and our troops who continue the fight. Honor them by being ready to
protect their children and families. Honor them by watching their six.
If or when you are faced with the need to act, who knows but that you
were born to such a time as this.

A fellow member of the San Diego Sheriff’s Department Team

An Interview With Ali Sina - The man behind Faithfreedom.org
An Interview With Ali Sina - The man behind Faithfreedom.org
ITF:
First of all I would like to thank you for taking the time to speak to the viewers of the Infidel Task Force.
It is quite an honor to have you here.
Sina:
Thank you. It is my pleasure.
ITF: Currently the world has 44 different ongoing conflicts with radical Islamic militants. What brought us to this point? Where will it lead to? And how do we stop them?
Sina:
Conflict is not new to Islam. Through fighting and violence Muslims resolve their differences. Will you believe if I tell you that the Muslim god prescribes fighting to his believers?
Quran 2.216 - "Fighting is prescribed for you, and ye dislike it. But it is possible that ye dislike a thing which is good for you, and that ye love a thing which is bad for you. But God knoweth, and ye know not.
Since 1492, when Ferdinand and Isabella completed the reconquista of Spain and forced the Muslims out of Granada the expansionist zeal of Muslims came to a halt. Muslims are required to make peace when they are weak and break their peace accords when they are strong. This is based on the example set by Muhammad in Hudaibiyyah, where he, realizing the weakness of his army, signed a ten year peace treaty with the Meccans, only to break that treaty, by divine decree, two years later, when he had conquered other weaker citadels and had become powerful. To justify this treacherous act he made his Allah reveal the sura 9 entitled Bara’a (deliverance) and deliver him from his obligation to honor his treaty.
Quran. 9:3: And an announcement from Allah and His Messenger, to the people (assembled) on the day of the Great Pilgrimage¯ that Allah and His Messenger dissolve (their treaty) obligations with the pagans.
Imam Suyuti, in Itqan Fi 'Ulum al- Qur'an (Certainty in the science of the Quran) wrote:
The command to fight the infidels was delayed until the Muslims become strong, but when they were weak they were commanded to endure and be patient. [Sobhy as_Saleh, Mabaheth Fi 'Ulum al- Qur'an, Dar al-'Ilm Lel-Malayeen, Beirut , 1983, p. 269.]
The reason that after 500 years of relative calm Jihad is back is because Muslims, thanks to the oil and the well paying jobs in the West, are feeling strong and think it is time to flex their religious muscles again.
So there is the answer to your first question: "What brought us to this point?" Muslims feel strong and hence they are under religious obligation to start fighting. What was the second question?
ITF: My second question is where will it lead to?
Sina:
That depends on how we respond to them. If we adopt a submissive peaceful posture vis-Ã -vis their aggression, of course they will be emboldened and we lose. We lose our freedom, our democracy, our civilization and everything humanity has achieved during these last few hundreds of years. Science will be enslaved by an obscurantist religion and the world will sink in the quagmire of Talibanization.
This will not be the end of the story. Since Muslims know no other way to resolve their disagreements, except through fighting, in an eventual Islamic world everyone will be fighting with everyone else and there will be mass slaughters worldwide. With the world’s reserves of nuclear weapons in the hands of Muslims, you can imagine what will be the future of mankind.
Muslims will start killing each other because each considers others to be heretics. A Good example is what is happening in Gaza. Muslims in this tiny piece of land are in perpetual war with Israel. Meanwhile, they persecute the Christians and have splinted in numerous groups, fighting among each other.
The main factions are al Fatah and al Hamas. They are busy killing one another. Then there are:
Jaish al-Islam: Affiliated with al-Qaida.
Fatah al-Islam: run by Saliman Abu Lafi and Raffik Abu Aker;
Jaish al-Ummah: controlled by Ismail Hammed.
Jaish Allah, al-Takfir.
Lion's Den of Jihad Fighters,
Jaljalat (an Arabic term meaning "rolling thunder").
Al-Aqsa Martyrs Brigade: Responsible for shootings, suicide operations including female suicide bombing.
Holy Jihad Brigades: Responsible for the August 2006 kidnappings of Fox News reporter Steve Centanni and cameraman Olaf Whig in the Gaza Strip.
Izz ad-Din al-Qassam Brigades: The militant wing of Hamas,
Palestine Islamic Jihad: Committed to destroying Israel through holy war.
Al-Quds Brigades: The militant wing of Palestinian Islamic Jihad.
Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine: A Marxist-rooted revolutionary group.
Palestine Liberation Front: Responsible for hijacking the Italian cruise ship Achille Lauro on Oct. 7, 1985, and killing a wheelchair bound elderly Jewish American, Leon Klinghoffer, and throwing is body and his wheelchair overboard.
Abu Ali Mustapha Brigades: The military wing of the Marxist-secular Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine.
Popular Resistance Committees: Founded by Hezbollah of Lebanon, is an umbrella organization for militants coming from Fatah and joining forces with Hamas-linked groups.
There are many more, and this is just in Gaza. There are thousands of groups in the entire Muslim world that are hostile to each other, fighting and killing one another and calling each other kafir, unislamic and heretic, but united in their hatred of non-Muslims and particularly the Jews.
If Islam conquers the world, this is where we are heading: Constant war and the assured destruction of mankind.
Now, this may come as a surprise but this division between Muslims is all by design. It is as if Muhammad wanted to spread hatred and disunity among his followers and make them kill one another. Muslims will jump to differ and will quote the surah 3:103 where Muhammad exhorts his followers: "And hold fast, all of you together, to the rope of Allah and be not divided." However, he laid the foundation for the disunity of his followers. Here is how:
Imam Abu Dawood quoted a Hadith concerning the division of the Muslims into seventy-three sects in his Sunan (3/4580, English edn):
Mu'awiyah ibn Abi Sufyan said, The Apostle of Allah (may peace be upon him) stood among us and said': 'Beware! The People of the Book before (you) were split up into 72 sects, and this community will be split up into 73, seventy-two of them will go to Hell and one of them will go to Paradise.'
This hadith is reported also by others. So Muslims believe it is authentic. The implication is clear. It follows that Muslims will split into many sects and since all but one are false, all but one are heretics and will go to hell. How the righteous Muslims should deal with heretics? That too is prescribed. Heretics must be killed. Muhammad said those who change the religion should be put to death.
Now, the question is which one of these 73 sects is the right one? That depends on whom you ask. Naturally, all Muslims believe they are the guided ones. So if every Muslim believes to be rightly guided and those who disagree with his interpretation of Islam are heretics, doesn’t it follow that Muslims are required to fight with each other?
The truth is that Islam is not divided into 73 sects but into thousands of sects.
I am a rationalist. I do not believe in supernatural. But for the sake of argument, let us assume Satan is real and hell bond to destroy mankind. What better way could he find than inventing a religion like Islam and making people kill one another to the last man?
ITF And, how do we stop them?
Sina:
There is only one realistic way: Stop Islam. This is a lot easier than people think. Islam is a lie. All we have to do is expose this lie and Muslims will walk away from it. No one wants to believe in a lie. Once we show Muslims that Muhammad was a psychopath cult leader and that all his claims are bogus, Islam will become a dead religion in no time. I believe in the power of truth. Tell the truth and Islam will be destroyed in our own lifetime.
ITF Will it not offend their sensitivity?
Sina:
To hell with their sensitivity! Tell the truth and save their lives.
ITF: Canada and America both have seen a rise in domestic terror cells. Jamat ul-Fuqra, Hizb-ut-Tahrir, just to name two! They operate openly and with peaceful identities. What are they in reality and why are the governments reluctant to approach them?
Sina:
All Muslim groups are terrorists. This does not mean every Muslim is a terrorist. But if someone launches an Islamic group, under any pretext, whether peaceful of not, be careful of his intentions. Muslims fight for the same cause, the domination of Islam and the overthrow of the secular governments. Their modus operandi is different. Some opt direct fighting and others covert fighting.
Last February, A Pakistani American, who started a Muslim TV channel in the US to counter negative portrayal of Islam after the 9/11 terror attacks, beheaded his estranged wife in a very Islamic fashion. This man was clean shaven who wore suit and tie and was looking quite westernized and modernized.
A Muslim is a Muslim is a Muslim. Don’t let them confuse you with charades like "Islam is not a monolithic religion," or "honor killing is cultural," and other nonsense. A peaceful Muslim is a contradiction in terms. It is an oxymoron. Have you seen a hot ice? A peaceful Muslim makes even less sense. The very fact that they keep rehashing Islam is peaceful is because it is not.
Why we don’t use this adjective for any other religion? According to a Persian say, perfume is what smells good, not what the vender tells you.
Now, don’t get me wrong. I am not saying all Muslims are violent and terrorists. There are many good people who call themselves Muslims. They are the majority. But they are good to the extent that they diverge from Islam.
Jihad stands on two legs. One is terror and the other is deception or taqiyyah. Both are essential for the advancement of Islam. Which foot you put forward depends on the situation. When Muslims are weak, taqiyyah is the best approach and when they are strong, terror is prescribed. This is sunnah, the example set by Muhammad. He used both terror and deception to advance his cause.
There is a debate going on among Muslims about whether Islam is strong enough to engage in warfare or not enough strong and therefore Muslims should work their way through deception. Of course, debates in Islam are always bloody, but nonetheless we have to recognize that this is a debate a la Musulman.
A few years ago, Dr. Mahathir who was the prime minister of Malaysia hosted the summit of Organization of Islamic Conference, where leaders of all 57 Islamic countries attended. In his speech, delivered to all Muslims, he lamented that Islam has been associated with terrorism. He spoke of the past glory of Islam and after complaining that Muslims are oppressed and humiliated he encouraged them to put aside the fight, advance in science and technology and then, to do what? Acquire guns and rockets, bombs and warplanes, tanks and warships, and take over the world.
Dr. Mahathir was hailed as a moderate Muslim and by all accounts he is. So what is the difference between a moderate Muslim and a terrorist Muslim? The difference is that the latter thinks the time for Jihad has come while the former believes Muslims are too weak and they should wait until they become strong. In essence, Muslims cannot disagree with Jihad because they would be disagreeing with the Quran.
Jamat ul-Fuqra and Hizb-ut-Tahrir have the same goal that al Qaida has: Domination of Islam. The difference is in how they want to achieve this goal. One group wants to use terror and the other prefers deception.
ITF: Lets talk a bit about Shariah Law. Why do some Western countries allow Sharia Law to be implemented instead of telling Muslims they must live according to the laws already in place? I’m speaking of the case in point in the UK.
Sina:
Corruption my dear! Corruption of your politicians! Politicians want the votes of Muslims and they will sell their mother for it. A good example is the new scandal surrounding the release of the Lockerbie bomber, Abdelbaset Ali Mohmed al Megrahi that involves the UK Prime Minister Brown.
The government of Britain made a mockery of justice and the memory of 300 people perished in that bombing when they released the terrorist Megrahi, to make a lucrative deal with Libya. This may surprise the British, but it does not surprise me. I am an Iranian. The British governments invariably have looked the other way and sacrificed the human rights in Iran to make lucrative deals with the dictators of that county, and turned against them when the deals went elsewhere. In 1953 they conspired to oust the democratic prime minister of Iran, Dr. Mossadeq, and reinstated the inexperienced and easily controllable Mohammad Reza Shah. Twenty six years later they turned against him and backed Khomeini and the tyrannical mullahs, when the Shah matured and did not like to be bossed by the British. Then for thirty years they supported one of the most brutal regimes in the world, knowing everything about the tortures, rapes in prisons, executions and all forms of human rights abuses in Iran. None of that mattered to the consecutive British governments. As long as the lucrative deals were coming, they turned a blind eye to all human rights abuses, until Russia and the China managed to win the mullahs to their side and the Brits were left in the cold. Now that the lucrative deals are gone, the British government is against the Islamic regime.
Shameless politicians will sell their wife and mother, not just their country, in order to stay in power. Muslims take full advantage of it to strengthen their foothold in western countries. You will be defeated because your politicians are traitors. It is time for a new generation of politicians to rise – politicians who put their country first, defend its laws, its constitution, its democratic values and its heritage. But this new breed will only rise when people support them. This consciousness must arise from the people. For decades the western mind has been contaminated with leftist propaganda and now we are seeing the result. Islamism is expanding and the western civilization is disintegrating.
We have one man in Europe who stands for Europe. He is Geert Wilder. Behold how the European leftist media vilifies him and equates him to Hitler. Remember how the unforgettable Oriana Fallaci, who stood for the west and its Judeo-Christian heritage, was treated by the courts in her own country, Italy.
You have a disease within your countries. It is called liberalism. It produces a toxin known as political correctness, and a venom called multiculturalism that poison your entire society. This disease affects your immune system and makes you vulnerable to your external and internal enemies. It has infected to all democratic countries, from India to Europe and now it has spread to the US affecting its very heart.
If you want to defend your country from Islamization, you have to flush out your system from liberalism. You need to take the power away from those who are selling out your country and vote for patriotic servants of the people who are not afraid to call a spade a spade and do not fear to stand up against Muslims and fight back their effort to Islamize the country.
The sharia must be outlawed because it is not just anti constitutionals but also anti human. It is a violation of human rights.
Construction of mosques must be outlawed. Mosques are places where Muslims are indoctrinated to hate their fellow non-Muslim citizens. Banning the construction of mosques is in conformity with Islam. Muslims do not allow building Hindu temples, churches or any other non Muslim house of worship in their Islamic countries. See this report.
Why should we allow a religion to grow in our country when we know that if they come to power they will take our freedom away from us?
Then you have to start a campaign to inform people about Islam and to rescue those trapped in this gigantic web of deception. I am not saying that governments should do this, but they should not stand in the way of those who want to use their right of free speech and threaten them with penalties.
Once Muslims leave Islam they can be as trustworthy and patriotic as anyone else. As long as they are Muslims you have to watch their every move with suspicion. Muslims’ loyalty is not to their country, but to Islam. They have a duty to destroy the non-Muslim systems and establish the Khilafat.
The problem is that the non-Muslims do not know they are under attack. They are blinded by political correctness and rendered unconscious by multiculturalism. They will wake up from their coma when it is too late. In some European countries, like in UK, it may already be too late. Maybe it is their karma.
ITF: Shariah law is contradictory to our Democratic governments, and from what we know, the majority of Muslim women do not want the introduction of Shariah law within Canada and the US. Are these the major stumbling blocks that are currently preventing Muslims from implementing Shariah Law here?
Sina:
Yes that is very much true. Muslim women know that under Sharia law they will lose their rights as humans. The truth is that most Muslims do not want to live under Sharia. They are caught in a tug of war, a cognitive dissonance, between their faith and how they really want to live. However, these people can be easily manipulated by the extremists and turn fully fledged Islamists and even terrorists. Faith is a dangerous thing. It makes you do things against your own conscience and interest. If you want to stop the Sharia law in the west you have to attack Islam and make Muslims realize that it is a lie.
ITF: Will the US court system provide, in any way, an entrance to implementation of Shariah Law?
Sina:
The Sharia is unconstitutional. So how the courts could agree to have a two tier law, one for Muslims and one for the rest of Americans? This is something that unscrupulous politicians may do. It is much easier to manipulate corrupt politicians with the promise of massive Muslim votes than bribe a judge. Right now America has a very corrupt government who is paving the road for the Islamization of this country.
ITF: It seems if there is going to be any change with Islam, it will be with the Muslim women. At least that is what we have seen in the past few years. Do you think Muslim women would reject Islam if they were allowed the freedom to do so?
Sina:
Yes I agree that the real change will come from Muslim women. This is quite obvious by watching the videos coming out of Iran. You see women are at the forefront of the demonstrations. They have nothing to lose and are ready to give their lives for their freedom. In the west you see courageous women like Nonie Darish, Wafa Sultan and Ayan Hisi Ali who are at the line of fire in our battle for freedom. In Egypt there is this amazing woman, Nagla Al-Imam, a graduate from Al Azhar University and an expert in the Sharia law who has openly converted to Christianity and has said she will not leave her country. Now this is courage. I really pray for her safety. This shows that you cannot keep a woman enslaved after she is educated. The Taliban know that too. That is why they destroy the girl’s schools and kill their teachers.
ITF: Just about every conscious human in the free world knows about Islamic suicide bombers, train bombers, and night club bombers. Everyone knows that Muslims flying large commercial planes crashed into the World Trade Center buildings and the Pentagon on 9/11. Those are the actions of the obvious terrorist side of Islam. Yet, all the world hears is the plea from Muslims to understand that Islam is a religion of peace and love. If that is so, does this mean that Islamists who are terrorists use a Quran that is different from the "peaceful" Muslim's Quran?
Sina:
Yes that is true. There are two different Qurans. One is written and the other is imagined. The terrorists and the hate spewing mullahs read the written Quran. There are two dozens of sanitized versions of this Quran translated into English and despite the efforts of the translators, it still sounds pretty gory. The other Quran exists in the imagination of the masses of Muslims who have never read the written Quran and attribute everything good that they can think of to it.
It is my belief that once these Muslims learn the content of the written Quran, their dream will be shattered and they will leave Islam. This may take some time. The believer often goes through a period of denial, then through the stages of shock, guilt, confusion, depression and anger until he or she reaches the citadel of enlightenment and see themselves as apostates.
ITF: We want to wish you the best with your book, Understanding Muhammad. Do you feel that if people understood what kind of person Muhammad really was, that they would have a better understanding of Islam?
Sina:
Absolutely! To Understand Islam and hence Muslims, it is imperative to understand Muhammad. Islam is Muhammadanism. Muslims follow and emulate their prophet. Once you know Muhammad and his psychology, you’ll find Muslims are very predictable.
My book is unique in the sense that it probes into the mind of Muhammad and reveals his psychological makeup. There are thousands of stories narrated about Muhammad by his wives and companions. Collectively they reveal a very clear picture of Muhammad. Unlike Jesus, Moses and other prophets of the past, whose lives are shrouded in myths and legends, Muhammad’s life-story is recorded in detail. I analyzed him under the light of the modern psychology and I have shown that he suffered from a series of personality and mental disorders and that the entire phenomenon known as Islam is a mental case. Once you read the book, you’ll realize that Islam is an overgrown cult, no different from that of Jim Jones, David Koresh or even Charles Manson.
There are many books that show the evilness of Islam. All you have to do is read the Quran, the hadith and the sira, the biography of Muhammad, and you will see that Islam is very evil. But the question remains: How could something so evil become the second largest religion in the world and how could a man as depraved influence so many? Something is amiss. If Islam is so bad why can’t a billion people see it? Are we to suppose that there are no intelligent people among a billion Muslims? How could so many people, for so many generations, fail to see the obvious?
This is an important question, which weighs on Muslims, validates their faith and prevents them from questioning it. You have to explain this phenomenon if you want to wean them from Islam.
There is a mystery surmounting Islam and Muhammad. It is thanks to this mystery that Islam has survived so long. Understanding Muhammad demystifies him. Once Muhammad is demystified and the nakedness of the emperor becomes widely known, no one will believe in him. When the mystic is gone Islam will be gone.
All the Muslims who have read my book have left Islam. Those who did not leave did not read the book. How do I know that? They tell me. They write to say they read 10, 20 or 30 pages and the book is full of garbage and that they are not going to waste their time reading it. The book is not garbage, but they are afraid to read it because they see the effect that it has on them and they are terrified at the thought of doubting Islam. The fear of hell has paralyzed the Muslims mind.
ITF: Do you think it's possible to modernize Islam so that it can become compatible with the modern world?
Sina:
No. There can be no change in Islam. Any Muslim will tell you that. That is what Muhammad has warned against in many parts of the Quran.
(Quran .2:85)Do you, then, believe in some parts of the divine writ and deny the truth of other parts? What, then, could be the reward of those among you who do such things but ignominy in the life of this world? And, on the Day of Resurrection, they will be consigned to most grievous suffering. For God is not unmindful of what you do.
(Quran 6:114) "Am I, then, to look unto anyone but God for judgment [as to what is right and wrong], when it is He who has bestowed upon you from on high this divine writ, clearly spelling out the truth?"
For a more discussion on why Islam cannot modernize read my article on this subject. The Illusion of Reforming Islam.
There are individuals in the west that claim to be moderate Muslims and even against the Sharia. People must not fall for this charade. Sharia is Islam. You cannot be a Muslims and be against the Sharia. It is like saying I am a Christian but against the Bible. These people are neither cold nor hot. You know what Jesus would do with tepid people.
Muhammad was a thief, a pedophile a mass murderer, a rapist, a sadist torturer, and a conman charlatan. You either believe in him or you don’t. It is hypocritical to say, I am a follower of Muhammad, but not wicked enough to follow him completely, and in fact I am so good that I even oppose him.
The so called moderate Muslims are not the solution. They are the problem. They pull wool over the eyes of the unwary non-Muslims, making them believe Islam has a moderate side too, which is not true.
Many Muslims know nothing about Islam. They are moderate and good citizens. They can be excused. But those who are in televisions and radios, giving interviews and writing articles, are not ignorant about Islam. So what is their real agenda? I don’t know. I just don’t like deception. Truth must be said. And the truth is that Islam is evil and Muhammad was a cult leader. Period!
When Nazis ruled over Germany, many Germans were supporting them. Not all those Germans were evil. Most of them were ignorant. They did not know the truth about Nazis and Hitler. So you can forgive them. The same can be said about millions of Americans who voted for and still support Obama. They don’t know the destruction that this man is bringing on their country. But what would you say of a person who knows the truth about Hitler and then calls himself "a moderate Nazi?" There is something fishy, something does not add up with the claim of the self proclaimed moderate Muslims.
Stop paying attention to them. Stop publishing their articles, or inviting them to speak on behalf of the "moderate Islam," and they will go away. There is no such thing as moderate or peaceful Islam. Muslims are of two kinds. They are either terrorist Muslims or ignorant Muslims. The ignorant Muslims are, thanks heaven, the majority. Once they learn the truth about the real Islam they will leave it.
We want Muslims to leave Islam. We don’t want them to modernize it. That is not possible and we would be fooling ourselves into complacency, lowering our guards and making ourselves vulnerable to Islamic take over through deception.
ITF: Do you think radical Islam will proliferate under the new Obama administration?
Sina:
Radical Islam and Islam are not two different entities. Islam is radical.
The answer to your question is yes. Obama is doing everything to weaken the defense of America against its enemies, such as closing the Guantanamo Bay and prosecuting the CIA agents for waterboarding the terrorists to extract information that saved American lives. The terrorist will not attack now. Instead they will build their cells and will do incalculable damage at a later date.
Obama’s destruction of the economy will be catastrophic, but the harm that he is doing to the homeland security is equally calamitous.
Americans are seeing the danger that this snake oil salesman is posing. They are participating in tea party rallies, attending town hall meetings and are taking their country back. They are waking up (although not soon enough). Obama has been a catastrophe for America, but Americans are patriotic and they will not let his Marxist, Saul Alinsky and Bill Ayer disciple community organizer take their country to dogs.
ITF:
On behalf of the Infidel Task Force, I wish to thank you for taking the time to chat with us and giving us your point of view on Shariah Law, Radical Islam and what to do about the ongoing threat.
Thank You very Much.
Sina:
Thank you. It was my pleasure.
ITF:
First of all I would like to thank you for taking the time to speak to the viewers of the Infidel Task Force.
It is quite an honor to have you here.
Sina:
Thank you. It is my pleasure.
ITF: Currently the world has 44 different ongoing conflicts with radical Islamic militants. What brought us to this point? Where will it lead to? And how do we stop them?
Sina:
Conflict is not new to Islam. Through fighting and violence Muslims resolve their differences. Will you believe if I tell you that the Muslim god prescribes fighting to his believers?
Quran 2.216 - "Fighting is prescribed for you, and ye dislike it. But it is possible that ye dislike a thing which is good for you, and that ye love a thing which is bad for you. But God knoweth, and ye know not.
Since 1492, when Ferdinand and Isabella completed the reconquista of Spain and forced the Muslims out of Granada the expansionist zeal of Muslims came to a halt. Muslims are required to make peace when they are weak and break their peace accords when they are strong. This is based on the example set by Muhammad in Hudaibiyyah, where he, realizing the weakness of his army, signed a ten year peace treaty with the Meccans, only to break that treaty, by divine decree, two years later, when he had conquered other weaker citadels and had become powerful. To justify this treacherous act he made his Allah reveal the sura 9 entitled Bara’a (deliverance) and deliver him from his obligation to honor his treaty.
Quran. 9:3: And an announcement from Allah and His Messenger, to the people (assembled) on the day of the Great Pilgrimage¯ that Allah and His Messenger dissolve (their treaty) obligations with the pagans.
Imam Suyuti, in Itqan Fi 'Ulum al- Qur'an (Certainty in the science of the Quran) wrote:
The command to fight the infidels was delayed until the Muslims become strong, but when they were weak they were commanded to endure and be patient. [Sobhy as_Saleh, Mabaheth Fi 'Ulum al- Qur'an, Dar al-'Ilm Lel-Malayeen, Beirut , 1983, p. 269.]
The reason that after 500 years of relative calm Jihad is back is because Muslims, thanks to the oil and the well paying jobs in the West, are feeling strong and think it is time to flex their religious muscles again.
So there is the answer to your first question: "What brought us to this point?" Muslims feel strong and hence they are under religious obligation to start fighting. What was the second question?
ITF: My second question is where will it lead to?
Sina:
That depends on how we respond to them. If we adopt a submissive peaceful posture vis-Ã -vis their aggression, of course they will be emboldened and we lose. We lose our freedom, our democracy, our civilization and everything humanity has achieved during these last few hundreds of years. Science will be enslaved by an obscurantist religion and the world will sink in the quagmire of Talibanization.
This will not be the end of the story. Since Muslims know no other way to resolve their disagreements, except through fighting, in an eventual Islamic world everyone will be fighting with everyone else and there will be mass slaughters worldwide. With the world’s reserves of nuclear weapons in the hands of Muslims, you can imagine what will be the future of mankind.
Muslims will start killing each other because each considers others to be heretics. A Good example is what is happening in Gaza. Muslims in this tiny piece of land are in perpetual war with Israel. Meanwhile, they persecute the Christians and have splinted in numerous groups, fighting among each other.
The main factions are al Fatah and al Hamas. They are busy killing one another. Then there are:
Jaish al-Islam: Affiliated with al-Qaida.
Fatah al-Islam: run by Saliman Abu Lafi and Raffik Abu Aker;
Jaish al-Ummah: controlled by Ismail Hammed.
Jaish Allah, al-Takfir.
Lion's Den of Jihad Fighters,
Jaljalat (an Arabic term meaning "rolling thunder").
Al-Aqsa Martyrs Brigade: Responsible for shootings, suicide operations including female suicide bombing.
Holy Jihad Brigades: Responsible for the August 2006 kidnappings of Fox News reporter Steve Centanni and cameraman Olaf Whig in the Gaza Strip.
Izz ad-Din al-Qassam Brigades: The militant wing of Hamas,
Palestine Islamic Jihad: Committed to destroying Israel through holy war.
Al-Quds Brigades: The militant wing of Palestinian Islamic Jihad.
Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine: A Marxist-rooted revolutionary group.
Palestine Liberation Front: Responsible for hijacking the Italian cruise ship Achille Lauro on Oct. 7, 1985, and killing a wheelchair bound elderly Jewish American, Leon Klinghoffer, and throwing is body and his wheelchair overboard.
Abu Ali Mustapha Brigades: The military wing of the Marxist-secular Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine.
Popular Resistance Committees: Founded by Hezbollah of Lebanon, is an umbrella organization for militants coming from Fatah and joining forces with Hamas-linked groups.
There are many more, and this is just in Gaza. There are thousands of groups in the entire Muslim world that are hostile to each other, fighting and killing one another and calling each other kafir, unislamic and heretic, but united in their hatred of non-Muslims and particularly the Jews.
If Islam conquers the world, this is where we are heading: Constant war and the assured destruction of mankind.
Now, this may come as a surprise but this division between Muslims is all by design. It is as if Muhammad wanted to spread hatred and disunity among his followers and make them kill one another. Muslims will jump to differ and will quote the surah 3:103 where Muhammad exhorts his followers: "And hold fast, all of you together, to the rope of Allah and be not divided." However, he laid the foundation for the disunity of his followers. Here is how:
Imam Abu Dawood quoted a Hadith concerning the division of the Muslims into seventy-three sects in his Sunan (3/4580, English edn):
Mu'awiyah ibn Abi Sufyan said, The Apostle of Allah (may peace be upon him) stood among us and said': 'Beware! The People of the Book before (you) were split up into 72 sects, and this community will be split up into 73, seventy-two of them will go to Hell and one of them will go to Paradise.'
This hadith is reported also by others. So Muslims believe it is authentic. The implication is clear. It follows that Muslims will split into many sects and since all but one are false, all but one are heretics and will go to hell. How the righteous Muslims should deal with heretics? That too is prescribed. Heretics must be killed. Muhammad said those who change the religion should be put to death.
Now, the question is which one of these 73 sects is the right one? That depends on whom you ask. Naturally, all Muslims believe they are the guided ones. So if every Muslim believes to be rightly guided and those who disagree with his interpretation of Islam are heretics, doesn’t it follow that Muslims are required to fight with each other?
The truth is that Islam is not divided into 73 sects but into thousands of sects.
I am a rationalist. I do not believe in supernatural. But for the sake of argument, let us assume Satan is real and hell bond to destroy mankind. What better way could he find than inventing a religion like Islam and making people kill one another to the last man?
ITF And, how do we stop them?
Sina:
There is only one realistic way: Stop Islam. This is a lot easier than people think. Islam is a lie. All we have to do is expose this lie and Muslims will walk away from it. No one wants to believe in a lie. Once we show Muslims that Muhammad was a psychopath cult leader and that all his claims are bogus, Islam will become a dead religion in no time. I believe in the power of truth. Tell the truth and Islam will be destroyed in our own lifetime.
ITF Will it not offend their sensitivity?
Sina:
To hell with their sensitivity! Tell the truth and save their lives.
ITF: Canada and America both have seen a rise in domestic terror cells. Jamat ul-Fuqra, Hizb-ut-Tahrir, just to name two! They operate openly and with peaceful identities. What are they in reality and why are the governments reluctant to approach them?
Sina:
All Muslim groups are terrorists. This does not mean every Muslim is a terrorist. But if someone launches an Islamic group, under any pretext, whether peaceful of not, be careful of his intentions. Muslims fight for the same cause, the domination of Islam and the overthrow of the secular governments. Their modus operandi is different. Some opt direct fighting and others covert fighting.
Last February, A Pakistani American, who started a Muslim TV channel in the US to counter negative portrayal of Islam after the 9/11 terror attacks, beheaded his estranged wife in a very Islamic fashion. This man was clean shaven who wore suit and tie and was looking quite westernized and modernized.
A Muslim is a Muslim is a Muslim. Don’t let them confuse you with charades like "Islam is not a monolithic religion," or "honor killing is cultural," and other nonsense. A peaceful Muslim is a contradiction in terms. It is an oxymoron. Have you seen a hot ice? A peaceful Muslim makes even less sense. The very fact that they keep rehashing Islam is peaceful is because it is not.
Why we don’t use this adjective for any other religion? According to a Persian say, perfume is what smells good, not what the vender tells you.

Once Muslims leave Islam they can be as trustworthy and patriotic as anyone else. As long as they are Muslims you have to watch their every move with suspicion. Muslims’ loyalty is not to their country, but to Islam. They have a duty to destroy the non-Muslim systems and establish the Khilafat.
The problem is that the non-Muslims do not know they are under attack. They are blinded by political correctness and rendered unconscious by multiculturalism. They will wake up from their coma when it is too late. In some European countries, like in UK, it may already be too late. Maybe it is their karma.
ITF: Shariah law is contradictory to our Democratic governments, and from what we know, the majority of Muslim women do not want the introduction of Shariah law within Canada and the US. Are these the major stumbling blocks that are currently preventing Muslims from implementing Shariah Law here?
Sina:
Yes that is very much true. Muslim women know that under Sharia law they will lose their rights as humans. The truth is that most Muslims do not want to live under Sharia. They are caught in a tug of war, a cognitive dissonance, between their faith and how they really want to live. However, these people can be easily manipulated by the extremists and turn fully fledged Islamists and even terrorists. Faith is a dangerous thing. It makes you do things against your own conscience and interest. If you want to stop the Sharia law in the west you have to attack Islam and make Muslims realize that it is a lie.
ITF: Will the US court system provide, in any way, an entrance to implementation of Shariah Law?
Sina:
The Sharia is unconstitutional. So how the courts could agree to have a two tier law, one for Muslims and one for the rest of Americans? This is something that unscrupulous politicians may do. It is much easier to manipulate corrupt politicians with the promise of massive Muslim votes than bribe a judge. Right now America has a very corrupt government who is paving the road for the Islamization of this country.
ITF: It seems if there is going to be any change with Islam, it will be with the Muslim women. At least that is what we have seen in the past few years. Do you think Muslim women would reject Islam if they were allowed the freedom to do so?
Sina:
Yes I agree that the real change will come from Muslim women. This is quite obvious by watching the videos coming out of Iran. You see women are at the forefront of the demonstrations. They have nothing to lose and are ready to give their lives for their freedom. In the west you see courageous women like Nonie Darish, Wafa Sultan and Ayan Hisi Ali who are at the line of fire in our battle for freedom. In Egypt there is this amazing woman, Nagla Al-Imam, a graduate from Al Azhar University and an expert in the Sharia law who has openly converted to Christianity and has said she will not leave her country. Now this is courage. I really pray for her safety. This shows that you cannot keep a woman enslaved after she is educated. The Taliban know that too. That is why they destroy the girl’s schools and kill their teachers.
ITF: Just about every conscious human in the free world knows about Islamic suicide bombers, train bombers, and night club bombers. Everyone knows that Muslims flying large commercial planes crashed into the World Trade Center buildings and the Pentagon on 9/11. Those are the actions of the obvious terrorist side of Islam. Yet, all the world hears is the plea from Muslims to understand that Islam is a religion of peace and love. If that is so, does this mean that Islamists who are terrorists use a Quran that is different from the "peaceful" Muslim's Quran?
Sina:
Yes that is true. There are two different Qurans. One is written and the other is imagined. The terrorists and the hate spewing mullahs read the written Quran. There are two dozens of sanitized versions of this Quran translated into English and despite the efforts of the translators, it still sounds pretty gory. The other Quran exists in the imagination of the masses of Muslims who have never read the written Quran and attribute everything good that they can think of to it.
It is my belief that once these Muslims learn the content of the written Quran, their dream will be shattered and they will leave Islam. This may take some time. The believer often goes through a period of denial, then through the stages of shock, guilt, confusion, depression and anger until he or she reaches the citadel of enlightenment and see themselves as apostates.
ITF: We want to wish you the best with your book, Understanding Muhammad. Do you feel that if people understood what kind of person Muhammad really was, that they would have a better understanding of Islam?
Sina:
Absolutely! To Understand Islam and hence Muslims, it is imperative to understand Muhammad. Islam is Muhammadanism. Muslims follow and emulate their prophet. Once you know Muhammad and his psychology, you’ll find Muslims are very predictable.
My book is unique in the sense that it probes into the mind of Muhammad and reveals his psychological makeup. There are thousands of stories narrated about Muhammad by his wives and companions. Collectively they reveal a very clear picture of Muhammad. Unlike Jesus, Moses and other prophets of the past, whose lives are shrouded in myths and legends, Muhammad’s life-story is recorded in detail. I analyzed him under the light of the modern psychology and I have shown that he suffered from a series of personality and mental disorders and that the entire phenomenon known as Islam is a mental case. Once you read the book, you’ll realize that Islam is an overgrown cult, no different from that of Jim Jones, David Koresh or even Charles Manson.
There are many books that show the evilness of Islam. All you have to do is read the Quran, the hadith and the sira, the biography of Muhammad, and you will see that Islam is very evil. But the question remains: How could something so evil become the second largest religion in the world and how could a man as depraved influence so many? Something is amiss. If Islam is so bad why can’t a billion people see it? Are we to suppose that there are no intelligent people among a billion Muslims? How could so many people, for so many generations, fail to see the obvious?
This is an important question, which weighs on Muslims, validates their faith and prevents them from questioning it. You have to explain this phenomenon if you want to wean them from Islam.
There is a mystery surmounting Islam and Muhammad. It is thanks to this mystery that Islam has survived so long. Understanding Muhammad demystifies him. Once Muhammad is demystified and the nakedness of the emperor becomes widely known, no one will believe in him. When the mystic is gone Islam will be gone.
All the Muslims who have read my book have left Islam. Those who did not leave did not read the book. How do I know that? They tell me. They write to say they read 10, 20 or 30 pages and the book is full of garbage and that they are not going to waste their time reading it. The book is not garbage, but they are afraid to read it because they see the effect that it has on them and they are terrified at the thought of doubting Islam. The fear of hell has paralyzed the Muslims mind.
ITF: Do you think it's possible to modernize Islam so that it can become compatible with the modern world?
Sina:
No. There can be no change in Islam. Any Muslim will tell you that. That is what Muhammad has warned against in many parts of the Quran.
(Quran .2:85)Do you, then, believe in some parts of the divine writ and deny the truth of other parts? What, then, could be the reward of those among you who do such things but ignominy in the life of this world? And, on the Day of Resurrection, they will be consigned to most grievous suffering. For God is not unmindful of what you do.
(Quran 6:114) "Am I, then, to look unto anyone but God for judgment [as to what is right and wrong], when it is He who has bestowed upon you from on high this divine writ, clearly spelling out the truth?"
For a more discussion on why Islam cannot modernize read my article on this subject. The Illusion of Reforming Islam.
There are individuals in the west that claim to be moderate Muslims and even against the Sharia. People must not fall for this charade. Sharia is Islam. You cannot be a Muslims and be against the Sharia. It is like saying I am a Christian but against the Bible. These people are neither cold nor hot. You know what Jesus would do with tepid people.
Muhammad was a thief, a pedophile a mass murderer, a rapist, a sadist torturer, and a conman charlatan. You either believe in him or you don’t. It is hypocritical to say, I am a follower of Muhammad, but not wicked enough to follow him completely, and in fact I am so good that I even oppose him.
The so called moderate Muslims are not the solution. They are the problem. They pull wool over the eyes of the unwary non-Muslims, making them believe Islam has a moderate side too, which is not true.
Many Muslims know nothing about Islam. They are moderate and good citizens. They can be excused. But those who are in televisions and radios, giving interviews and writing articles, are not ignorant about Islam. So what is their real agenda? I don’t know. I just don’t like deception. Truth must be said. And the truth is that Islam is evil and Muhammad was a cult leader. Period!
When Nazis ruled over Germany, many Germans were supporting them. Not all those Germans were evil. Most of them were ignorant. They did not know the truth about Nazis and Hitler. So you can forgive them. The same can be said about millions of Americans who voted for and still support Obama. They don’t know the destruction that this man is bringing on their country. But what would you say of a person who knows the truth about Hitler and then calls himself "a moderate Nazi?" There is something fishy, something does not add up with the claim of the self proclaimed moderate Muslims.
Stop paying attention to them. Stop publishing their articles, or inviting them to speak on behalf of the "moderate Islam," and they will go away. There is no such thing as moderate or peaceful Islam. Muslims are of two kinds. They are either terrorist Muslims or ignorant Muslims. The ignorant Muslims are, thanks heaven, the majority. Once they learn the truth about the real Islam they will leave it.
We want Muslims to leave Islam. We don’t want them to modernize it. That is not possible and we would be fooling ourselves into complacency, lowering our guards and making ourselves vulnerable to Islamic take over through deception.
ITF: Do you think radical Islam will proliferate under the new Obama administration?
Sina:
Radical Islam and Islam are not two different entities. Islam is radical.
The answer to your question is yes. Obama is doing everything to weaken the defense of America against its enemies, such as closing the Guantanamo Bay and prosecuting the CIA agents for waterboarding the terrorists to extract information that saved American lives. The terrorist will not attack now. Instead they will build their cells and will do incalculable damage at a later date.
Obama’s destruction of the economy will be catastrophic, but the harm that he is doing to the homeland security is equally calamitous.
Americans are seeing the danger that this snake oil salesman is posing. They are participating in tea party rallies, attending town hall meetings and are taking their country back. They are waking up (although not soon enough). Obama has been a catastrophe for America, but Americans are patriotic and they will not let his Marxist, Saul Alinsky and Bill Ayer disciple community organizer take their country to dogs.
ITF:
On behalf of the Infidel Task Force, I wish to thank you for taking the time to chat with us and giving us your point of view on Shariah Law, Radical Islam and what to do about the ongoing threat.
Thank You very Much.
Sina:
Thank you. It was my pleasure.

The New Muslim
If islam, was truly a religion of peace. We would all be here extolling the virtues of said wonderful religion. Instead we are here to let everyone know that in reality, islam is a very violent, vicious, hating, and bloodthirsty cult.
Its as simple as that.
Everyday all over the world, muslims send us great examples of just how deadly islam is. From the USA to Africa.
From honor killing of apostates to slavery in the Saudi Repub.
Its time for real muslims to take stock of their religion.
muslims keep telling us , islam is peace. .
then we hear of bombings in Iraq.
islam is peace.
then we hear of raped detainees in Iran.
islam is peace.
and a bus is blown up killing 12.
islam is peace.
and a hotel is bombed killing 156.
Is islam really peace? that's not what devote muslims are showing us. Instead they say, those extremists are not real muslims.
Then are those extremists reading a different koran?
I don't think so. I think they are following it to the letter
Right now, this very day...there are 44 violent locations going on in the world. Some more severe then others. Most of these areas are in Africa.
Sudan, Darfur, Ehtiopia, Kenya, Nigeria, Somalia...and you know what they have in common?
everyone entails muslims fighting. that's right!!
All these areas of violence..and that is 44...are being done by devote islamists. Islamists that read the koran faithfully. They are not your average muslim, they are the ones causing trouble.
Muslims love to say:
"We are not violent. Read the Qu'ran for yourself to see. Its the Americans that are killing muslims."
Well, all we have to do is watch the media form all over the world. What is happening? Its muslim killing muslim. In Iraq, In Afghanistan, In almost every area in Africa. As to muslims are taking out the Jews too. Rockets fire into Israel almost daily.
So where is the United Nations on this? Where are they, when the muslims cause trouble?
Conveniently silent.
Well, as the free world sees it. Muslim extremists run the islam religion. And that is a shame. Because what this does, is just cause the regular average muslim, like those that expose the virtue of peace, on Youtube...to make excuses for their bloodthirsty brothers. Doing so they try to point the finger in every other direction but themselves.
That's why we always hear:
"its the Jews fault"
"Its Americas fault"
The finger is pointed elsewhere to try to get attention away from islam..
Blaming others to hide the violence of islam is a very old trick. But its not working anymore. All we have to do, is read the papers, listen to the news and watch the articles on the Internet.
The media is not making any of this up. All they do is report the news. And what they report about islam is pure evil and destruction.
9/11 did more for the demise of the stature of slam then anything ever reported.
I guess because of that, we have to thank those 19 radical extremists.
So anyways...that's islam in a nutshell.
As I said earlier, if islam was a religion of peace....we would not have all those web sites...
news articles...
documentaries...
movies....
books....
grassroots committees.....
or those 44 different wars involving muslims...
Its as simple as that.

Islam's European Conquest: Is America Next?
By John Griffing
Islamic lands that were occupied by the enemies will once again become Islamic...We proclaim that we will conquer Rome, like Constantinople was conquered once, and as it will be conquered again."
- Ali Al-Faqir, the Jordanian Minister for Religious Endowment
Britain, birthplace of parliamentary democracy, has fallen to Islam. Oxford, once home to the likes of C.S. Lewis, now houses a giant Eastern Islamic Studies Center. If this were the only Islamic addition to Oxford, the mood would be less somber, but when Oxford citizens are forced to awake every morning to the Muslim call to prayer with the full consent of the Church of England, nothing short of conquest has taken place.
Britain's Muslim demographic is now so dominant that the British government recently began to allow Islamic civil and religious law, known as Sharia, to be enforced along side British law.
But if religious tolerance is good, why is this a problem? Simple-this is not an issue of religious liberty. Islam is not designed to co-exist with western civilization. It is designed to conquer it.
Most would agree that Judeo-Christian values are consistent with Anglo-American tradition. Can the same be said of Islam? Even Muslims don't think so. The chief Justice of London's Sharia Court made this chilling statement:
If Sharia is implemented then you can turn this country into a haven of peace...Once a thief's hand is cut off, nobody is going to steal. Once an adulterer is stoned, nobody is going to commit this crime at all. This is why we say we want to offer it to British society.
Statements like this have not stopped prominent British figures from endorsing Sharia. The Archbishop of Canterbury, the Protestant equivalent of the Pope, called Sharia "unavoidable."
Under Sharia, non-Muslims are forbidden to even criticize Islam. This is significant, considering that a Policy Exchange Poll found that forty percent of British Muslims prefer to be governed by Sharia. Thirty-six percent believe that "apostates" from Islam should be punished by death. A Guardian Poll indicates that a sizeable number of British Muslims favor terrorist attacks on the United States and even England.[1]
There are presently 85 Sharia courts all across Britain, and, although initial defenders of the transformation claimed that Sharia courts would only exercise authority when consistent with British law, recent developments indicate that Muslims want Sharia pushed still further. Many Muslims advocate a separate police force due to the repeated embarrassment of rampant "honor killings."
Honor killings represent a new and growing form of homicide in many European countries, whereby Muslim families collaborate to kill fellow family members to restore honor. This practice is not alien to the US. Recently, a US Muslim man beheaded his wife, confessed to authorities, and still received a scheduled award from the Council on American Islamic Relations (CAIR).
Britain is not alone in its Muslim plight. In 2005, France experienced massive Muslim riots in 300 cities. Public buildings were firebombed, 200 policemen were injured, and 4,000 were arrested.[2] This is not unusual as a Muslim response to perceived offenses. Remember the Danish cartoons?
The central problem is assimilation. Most Muslims don't move to a country with the purpose of becoming real citizens of that country. Muslims don't want to be British or French. Muslims come for the wealth of the west, and to make the west Muslim. The evidence is transparent to anyone paying attention. The Parisian riots of 2005 were committed by second and third generation children of Muslim immigrants.
The ultimate aspiration of Muslims is total, global dominion within a theocracy known as a "caliphate." Be they peaceful Muslims or radical Muslims, all share in this goal.
And, incredibly, we cooperate with this reverse assimilation. Somehow we Westerners now feel compelled to assimilate with Muslims instead of expecting the reverse. Paris fashion runways have even begun designing and modeling "Muslim inspired head wraps and...tunics splattered with simulated blood in what some fashionistas dubbed carnage couture."[3]
The problem of Muslim integration is so sensitive that 751 areas have been willingly ceded to Islamic residents by the French government. Called "no-go zones" by many, these areas are off-limits to non-Muslims who value their lives. The UK is home to an indistinguishable number of "no-go zones," with violence toward non-Muslims increasing in once peaceful areas.
Dutch Muslims have such a grip on Holland that those who speak out must live in safe houses, like Dutch parliamentarian Geert Wilders. Yet the Dutch Minister of Justice still wants to make full Sharia an option on the next ballot, which would make Holland the first fully Islamic theocracy in the heart of Europe.
Germany could be next. Matthias Rohe, Judge on the Court of Appeals in Nuremburg wants to see full Sharia in Germany, saying, "we are ready to accept these kind of differences and would apply the norms." Many areas of Germany are now off limits to police and other uniformed personnel, as in France and the UK.
Muslim majorities will soon be a reality. By 2050, one out of every three people in Europe will be age 60 and over. The UN's Populations Division estimates that by 2050, if current birth rates are held, Europe will shrink by 200 million as a new Muslim majority dawns.
And now, onto this stage strides President Barack Hussein Obama, who advocates the European model for all aspects of American life; for the economy, for healthcare, and now, in our dealings with Muslims. We know where that road leads. It has been travelled by an entire continent now doomed to cultural and economic destruction.
Is this what we want? Do we really want European civilization, cultivated for centuries, to suddenly vanish? Do we really want American culture to disappear?
President Obama travels the world apologizing for America's very existence. He redefines Islam's historical goal as one of peaceful coexistence, its moral ethos as one of "tolerance and the dignity of all human beings," despite the evidence to the contrary. He pledges that the US "never will be-at war with Islam," blindly ignoring the present strategic situation. He claims that we are the "biggest Muslim country in the world," despite the fact that 80 percent of Americans say they are Christian.
The US has steadily been bowing to Islamic pressure. Many US banks and investment firms have formally adopted Sharia Finance. Harold Koh, recent Dean of Yale Law School and current Obama Advisor to the Secretary of State, openly talks about the compatibility of Sharia with American legal precedent.
What is our fascination with Islam? Why are we so willing to capitulate to its aims without resistance? Can't western civilization continue to champion religious liberty without committing suicide?
Radical Islam is inconsistent with American ideals, plain and simple. No two ideologies that embrace concepts so divergent as global domination and freedom can hope to coexist. There can be no compromise.
Europe is among the walking dead; their future is an Islamic one. America, however, still has a choice if we have the courage to make it.

The Clock Is Ticking Folks!!!
Toronto's newest speaking star: a would-be suicide bomber
Terry Glavin, Special to the National Post
"Long live the Taliban" might seem an unlikely thing for a prominent anti-war figure to declare, but that's to-day's peace movement for you. Stranger still, the man who recently uttered those words, Azzam Tamimi, is being promoted by a new Toronto-based institute that says it is embarking upon a national campaign to cultivate wholesome, faith-based civic virtues among Canada's young Muslims.
The Mississauga, Ont.-based Al-Fauz Institute for Islamic Thought claims its purpose is to teach young Muslims how to apply Islamic ideas to Canada's pluralistic society and "prepare young minds that will take up the mantle of the Muslim community." But Tamimi -- who currently has top billing on the Al-Fauz website, and is listed as a member of the institute's "faculty" -- has loudly renounced democracy. Indeed, he recently proclaimed: "I don't believe in democracy anymore," explicitly praises suicide bombers, and says he is willing to blow himself up in Israel: "It's the straight way to pleasing my God and I would do it if I had the opportunity." He distinguishes good Muslims from their adversaries this way: "We love death. They love life."
You'd never know any of this from the billing the Al-Fauz Institute gives Tamimi. He's presented as a Palestinian-born British academic and a "political activist." His leading role with Britain's Stop The War Coalition is noted. But nowhere does the institute mention that Tamimi is also a high-ranking advisor to Hamas, an organization considered by Canada to be a terrorist group. His best-known book is titled Hamas: A History From Within. Nor is this fact mentioned by Toronto's Ryerson University, which is permitting Tamimi to deliver a four-day "intensive course on Islamic history" from July 24 to July 27.
Aside from Tamimi, five well-known Canadian imams are listed by the Al-Fauz Institute as "faculty" members. But the best known among them -- Hamid Slimi, chairman of the Canadian Council of Imams -- told me he'd never even heard of the institute. "I don't know anything about this," Slimi said. "I must be completely out of the loop."
Iqbal Masood Nadvi, the institute's "senior patron," denied any knowledge of Tamimi's dodgy associations or his various bloodcurdling pronouncements. "I am hearing this from you for the first time," he said. "I don't believe in the Taliban. What I know about Tamimi is he is an academic person."
Nadvi referred further questions to the Al-Fauz Institute's co-ordinator, Junaid Mirza, who had taken the lead in bringing Tamimi onboard. While Mirza was quite familiar with Tamimi's political background, he said it was Tamimi's academic expertise in the history of Islamic reform movements that landed him the institute faculty post and the Ryerson gig. But if the point is to present Canadians with "a balanced and comprehensive vision of Islam," isn't a character like Azzam Tamimi pretty well the worst choice the Al-Fauz Institute could have made?
"We'll have other points of view down the road, too," Mirza said.
As for Tamimi's support for the Taliban, Mirza claims that's not so clear. "It's not a blanket defence," Mirza said. And what about Tamimi's grisly advocacy of suicide bombing? Mirza says the subject isn't expected to come up during Tamimi's lectures, which will look back on 1,400 years of Islamic history.
"This is an academic discussion," says Mirza. "We're not trying to get people motivated and inspired like you would at a political rally."
Is the Al-Fauz Institute really interested in helping young Muslim Canadians make healthy contributions to this country's mosaic? Azzam Tamimi preaches a toxic, anti-democratic Islamism and espouses a decidedly oppressive way of life. The Al-Fauz Institute must be called to account -- Canadians deserve to know just what this group has planned.
*We...who watch the current activities of Radical Islam, and the perpetraters and pushers of the poison , known as Shariah Law....are beginning to reach the end of our ropes.
Now...we are not promoting violence, NO, we wouldn't do that.

But, I for one am getting very close to losing it. Wake up America!! You just read the article from Canada, of all places. Right next door!! Its on our doorstep.
What I am telling everyone and anyone who will listen to me is, its time to take action. Open your mouths!! Send your faxes to your Conressmen!! Pick up the phones. I understand you may be afraid of getting your names out there, but the time is rapidly drawing near.
If we don't do anything now, our children are going to suffer dearly in the future.

"Long live the Taliban" might seem an unlikely thing for a prominent anti-war figure to declare, but that's to-day's peace movement for you. Stranger still, the man who recently uttered those words, Azzam Tamimi, is being promoted by a new Toronto-based institute that says it is embarking upon a national campaign to cultivate wholesome, faith-based civic virtues among Canada's young Muslims.
The Mississauga, Ont.-based Al-Fauz Institute for Islamic Thought claims its purpose is to teach young Muslims how to apply Islamic ideas to Canada's pluralistic society and "prepare young minds that will take up the mantle of the Muslim community." But Tamimi -- who currently has top billing on the Al-Fauz website, and is listed as a member of the institute's "faculty" -- has loudly renounced democracy. Indeed, he recently proclaimed: "I don't believe in democracy anymore," explicitly praises suicide bombers, and says he is willing to blow himself up in Israel: "It's the straight way to pleasing my God and I would do it if I had the opportunity." He distinguishes good Muslims from their adversaries this way: "We love death. They love life."
You'd never know any of this from the billing the Al-Fauz Institute gives Tamimi. He's presented as a Palestinian-born British academic and a "political activist."

Obama - The Apologizer Bunny
I basically had nothing to do at work when I designed this. I had a few minutes before my boss was coming back, and the image shows the quick job. But I felt that with all the apologizing the new President has been doing, since taking office, we needed something to honor him with. I guess I just have way too much time on my hands.

Gaza judge tells female lawyers to wear head scarf
GAZA CITY, Gaza Strip – Gaza's top judge said Sunday that he has ordered female lawyers to wear Muslim headscarves when they appear in court, the latest sign that the Islamic militant group is increasingly imposing its strict interpretation of Islamic law on residents of the coastal strip.
Supreme Court chief justice Abdul-Raouf Halabi said female lawyers will be required to wear a headscarf and a long, dark colored cloak under their billowing black robes when the court returns from its summer recess in September.
Halabi said his order was designed to ensure that women dress in accordance with Islamic law, which requires women to cover up in public, wearing loose garments and only showing their hands and faces.
"Showing a woman's hair is forbidden (in Islam)," the Hamas-appointed Halabi told The Associated Press. "We will not allow people to corrupt morals. This (dress code) will improve work in the courts."
Hamas seized power in Gaza in June 2007 and vowed never to impose its conservative values on others. But it has taken a series of steps in recent months that appear to be aimed at forcing residents to accept its Islamic-oriented social agenda.
Police have pressured store owners to cover scantily clad mannequins, and men relaxing on the beach have been ordered to put more clothes on. One secondary girls' school has made wearing a Muslim headscarf and loose robe a mandatory uniform in the upcoming school year.
The Gaza-based Palestinian Center for Human Rights issued a statement describing the new dress code for female lawyers a "dangerous violation of personal freedoms and women's rights."
The Hamas government formally says it is not imposing Islamic law on the territory's 1.4 million residents. Instead, it says it is simply ensuring that residents behave in line with the territory's own conservative culture.
Most women already wear the headscarf, and life in the Mediterranean strip comes to a complete standstill on Fridays as men gather for communal prayers in mosques.
Subhiya Juma, a female lawyer, said the judge's decision would affect only 10 or so lawyers — since the vast majority of the 150 registered female lawyers already cover their hair.
Juma, who does not wear a headscarf, said the point wasn't the number of women, but that freedoms were being eroded.
"This is dangerous — it's a clear violation of the law, it is taking away our personal freedoms — and by whom? The very person who is meant to defend our freedoms," Juma said.
*
Now ....after reading this, one must conclude that ALL the lawyers are muslim. That is NOT the case. The standards of Islamic law is being thrust upon anyone living in Gaza. There are non-muslim lawyers. They are NOT exempt from wearing the headscarf.
What does that tell us?
Islam does not care if you are muslim or not, as long as you live in an Islamic country, you WILL abide by Islamic law.
Now when muslims come to the United States....they shall abide by American law.
Do they? Most do.
Some do not, and they press other muslims to resist American Constitutional law.
Americans must not be led into a double standard. If we want muslims to abide by our set of law....the same must be in place for Islamic countries. If you live there, you should abide by their set of laws.
Including wearing the hajib. I see journalists wearing them, as did Secretary of State Hillary Clinton.
But if a muslim woman wants to free herself of the headscarf...well...in America...she should be able to do so.
Just don't get killed doing so.....
