Arab Spring: Democracy or Caliphate?

08/01/2011 Leave a comment

Seems that every passing day there is an ever increasing wave of support for the reestablishment of the Islamic Caliphate.  Here is an article from Pakistan on July 3rd, 2011 that instead of being from the perspective of one looking in, it is rather from the perspective of one looking out …

By Syed Shariq – “… The extent of the malaise in the Muslim world requires a comprehensive change, not just a change of faces. Replacing Ben Ali in Tunisia or Mubarak in Egypt with those who worked with, supported, or even legitimised their regimes is no solution. Democracy is not the solution either. Pakistan and Sudan are democracies after all, and are no better than an Egypt or Tunisia. What is required is a comprehensive change at the level of the regime and system.

This is what the people want. The emphatic slogan of the uprisings was unequivocal: The people want the downfall of the regime; not the President, but the entire regime. This is, of course, the type of change Western governments do not want. They have been working hard to hijack the uprisings and to get away with mere cosmetic changes. Undoubtedly, their role in the uprisings has been intrusive, exploitative and hypocritical. In this regard, the West continues to doublespeak.

The propaganda is also persistent. If one were to go by the coverage of the mainstream media or the pronouncements of Western leaders, one would think that people of the Middle East and North Africa have finally seen the ‘light’ of the Western way of life, and are calling for liberal democracy. This could not be further from the truth. Being subject to decades of Western imperialism, Muslims have an intimate appreciation of what Western ideology has to offer, and they reject it outright. Instead, keeping the historical context in mind, it is clear to any impartial observer that it is the Islamic revival that gathers steam and the Muslims want change on the basis of Islam. The proof of this has been furnished elsewhere. And so they should. It is not the European model of the secular nation-state that represents the values, beliefs and history of the Muslim world; it is the Islamic model of the Caliphate.

The Caliphate, far from being a threat to the world that some would have us believe, would be a source of progress. For one, it will fill the political and leadership vacuum in the Muslim world and, thereby, would be a source of stability, and, in turn, progress and prosperity. A stable Muslim world means a much more stable and peaceful world. Two, the Caliphate would offer a new intellectual and political leadership to rival, and break USA’s monopoly as the sole superpower, whose foreign policy has wreaked much havoc on the world. Surely, advocates of liberalism cannot argue against competition?

Many in the West will disagree with our arguments…” Read more.

Disagree?  Well, we’ve read the end of the Book Mr. Shariq, and we know how this story ends …

Nigeria: Christians Pray, Fast for Divine Intervention Amidst Death Threats from Islamists

07/31/2011 2 comments

By Ivana Kvesic – “Christians throughout Nigeria are fasting to invoke divine intervention and protection from the Islamic cult, Boko Haram, that has threatened to attack Nigerian Christians on the anniversary of their founder’s death.

Churches and their followers all over the country have begun a 21-day period of fasting in the hope of divine intervention to avert the looming attack.

Due to heightened insecurity, church attendance has dropped significantly in recent weeks. Less than half of those that attended church regularly can be found in attendance due to safety concerns.

Bombs have been going off on a daily basis in the northeastern city of Maiduguri, while the Nigerian capital of Abuja faced a bomb attack on a car park last month.

The anniversary attack is expected to occur on July 30, the day Boko Haram was founded by former leader Mohammed Yusuf.

Yusuf died in police custody in 2009, and was allegedly killed while trying to escape from prison.

Boko Haram, which can be translated to figuratively mean, ‘Western or non-Islamic education is a sin,’ claims that it is fighting for the establishment of an Islamic state in Nigeria.” Read more.

July 9, 2011: Islamist Terror Group in Nigeria to Muslims: Stay Away from Christians … Because They Are Now Targets of Attacks – “The Boko Haram menace has taken a dramatic twist with its call on all Muslims in Nigeria to stay away from Christians, Security Agents, Government institutions and functions or face death. It maintained that since the present Federal Government is not Islamic, every employee is considered an infidel marked for elimination… The deadly group urged Muslims to stay away from Christians, their houses, businesses and churches because they are targets of attacks.” Read more.

Somali Rebels Allege Famine Claim an Infidel Hoax

Revelation 6:8, “… They were given power over a fourth of the earth to kill by sword, famine and plague …”

“For Somalia’s Al-Qaeda-linked rebels, the drought devastating parts of the country is being exploited by external enemies, claiming that local Muslims were adequately addressing the crisis.

The Al-Shebab insurgents have expelled several foreign aid groups from regions under their control since 2009 and reiterated recently that the ban was still in force after the United Nations declared famine in two regions they rule.

Shebab spokesman Sheikh Ali Mohamud Rage denied there was famine in the southern Somalia regions of Bakool and Lower Shabelle as declared by the UN, but admitted that there was drought.

In a speech to the rebel radio, Rage said local traders and other residents have been the main providers of help to the drought-hit population and that ‘God did not make them need an outside enemy or non-Muslims, the people in the country fed them very well.’

‘We need Muslim people to be aware that the external enemy especially non-Muslims have been thinking of a new strategy.

‘The new strategy is to transport them abroad, especially in Christian countries like Ethiopia and Kenya, so that their faith can be destroyed and that they could be staff and soldiers for the Christians,’ Rage charged.” Read more.

Somalia: Islamist Group Bans Samosas After Deciding They’re Too ‘Christian’ – “Somalia’s al-Shabaab group has banned samosas after ruling the popular snacks are ‘offensive’ and too Christian… Aid groups including the UN Food Programme say they were not given permission by militants to provide aid in the country, where it has been warned that 800,000 children could die from starvation. It is now thought islamist militants have taken offence at the three-sided samosa’s supposed resemblance to symbol of the Christian Holy Trinity.” Read more.

Israeli Arab Children Taught to Defend Muslim Dominance on Temple Mount, ‘This Generation Will Be the Generation of Victory’

07/29/2011 Leave a comment

By Maayana Miskin – “Thousands of Israeli Arab youth are being taught to defend Muslim dominance on the Temple Mount, under programs sponsored by the Islamic Movement, the Israel-based branch of the Muslim Brotherhood.

‘This generation will be the generation of victory, the generation that defends the place from which the prophet Mohammed ascended to heaven,’ according to Dr. Hikmat Namna of the Organization to Develop Al-Aksa, which has played a part in the educational program.

An estimated 6,000 Israeli Muslim children from 33 Arab towns in Israel have taken part in the program, which includes a tour of the Temple Mount. Children are also given pamphlets with stories about Mohammed and the Al-Aksa mosque.” Read more.

UK: Residents Reject Islamists’ Calls for Sharia Law, ‘They Should Go to a Muslim Country If They Want to Live Under Those Laws’

07/29/2011 2 comments

As moderate Muslims they should also be protesting in the streets of so-called ‘Sharia controlled zones’ against these Islamists and make their voices heard loud and clear …

“Local residents are rejecting attempts by Islamic fundamentalists to implement Sharia law in east London.

Posters had appeared in the east London borough of Waltham Forest claiming that it is ‘a Sharia controlled zone’ where Islamic rules will be enforced.

The posters, which have also appeared in other parts of the city, bear images indicating that smoking, alcohol and music are banned.

The campaign is being orchestrated by Muslims Against Crusades (MAC), a fundamentalist campaign group who want to establish independent Muslim states within the UK.

However, local residents have distanced themselves from the calls for Sharia law in Waltham Forest.

Abdul Rehman, a 56-year-old Muslim originally from Pakistan, said: ‘They should go to a Muslim country if they want to live under those laws. It has no place in Britain.'” Read more.

Egypt: Tension Rises as Islamists Dominate Tahrir Square Chanting ‘The People Want to Implement Sharia’

07/29/2011 10 comments

By ELIZABETH A. HARRIS – “As my colleague Anthony Shadid reports, tens of thousands of Egyptians poured into Tahrir Square on Friday for a day that had been billed as one of unified protest against the interim military government. But the turnout was lopsided, dominated by members of religious movements, ranging from the most conservative, the Salafists, to the relatively moderate Muslim Brotherhood.

According to The Associated Press, instead of chanting ‘The people want to topple the regime,’ a slogan heard at protests across the Arab world this year, from Tahrir Square to Tunisia, demonstrators called out, ‘The people want to implement Sharia,’ a strict code of Islamic law.

This video, which was posted on YouTube on Friday, is said to show the Salafists, many of them wearing skullcaps and conservative attire, walking toward Tahrir Square. Men in T-shirts and baseball caps look on as they pass by.

Egypt has been showing increased signs of polarization, Mr. Shadid reports, and the rift between religious and secular factions was clearly in evidence on Friday as many secular Egyptians responded to the scene in Tahrir Square on social media sites.” Read more.

UK: Shocking Rise in Hate Crimes Against Jewish Community in Europe

07/28/2011 Leave a comment

Facts are facts, and Europe is being thrown back 70 years into the past …

By Paul Britton and Neal Keeling – “Anti-Jewish hate crime has rocketed by one third in Greater Manchester – with the region for the first time suffering more attacks than London.

Shocking new figures show there were 121 anti-Semitic incidents – including assaults, desecration, threats and abuse – in the first six months of the year.

That compares to 98 in Greater London – despite the capital having a Jewish population six times the size.

The news comes just days after taxi driver Taha Osman, from Blackley, escaped jail after hurling racist abuse outside Manchester’s King David School.

The 36-year-old screamed ‘all Jewish children must die’ in front of horrified onlookers. He was sentenced to a 12-month community order.

The new figures were published by the Community Security Trust, a charity working to protect Jewish communities from crime.

They revealed the number of anti-Semitic incidents across the region rose from 95 in the first six months of 2010 to 121 this year. The data included 29 assaults, 10 reports of damage or desecration, nine cases of threats being made, and 73 incidents of abuse – including hate mail and anti-Semitic graffiti.” Read more.

Anti-Semitism Among Muslim Immigrants in Europe – “It was a fairly unique conference in the German city of Cologne on May 29. A highly interesting topic was being discussed: ‘Dimensions of Anti-Semitism in a Society of Immigrants.’ The focus was largely on Muslim immigrants in Europe, notably in Germany, France and Britain. Within that Muslim immigrant community anti-Jewish sentiments are still fairly common. Anti-Semitism has been exported by these immigrants from their home countries to Europe. Anti-Semitism is deeply rooted in Muslim countries such as Egypt, Syria, Lebanon, Iraq, Iran, Pakistan and Afghanistan. Even Syrian president Bashar Al-Assad has recently been accused of being ‘a Jew’ by a number of his opponents…” Read more.

Flashback: ‘Muslims are the new Nazis of Europe’ – “Well, we already knew it, but now there’s confirmation: Muslims are the new Nazis of Europe. They are responsible for at least 50% (and probably far more) of the anti-Semitic hate crimes in Europe. Don’t be shocked if that number gets mirrored here (the FBI refuses to keep publicly-released statistics on the heritage of hate-crime perpetrators here–gee, I wonder why; might get in the way of their ‘outreach’ to extremist Muslims)…” Read more.

Flashback: Jews leave Swedish city after sharp rise in anti-Semitic hate crimes from Muslim immigrants – “When she first arrived in Sweden after her rescue from a Nazi concentration camp, Judith Popinski was treated with great kindness. She raised a family in the city of Malmo, and for the next six decades lived happily in her adopted homeland – until last year. In 2009, a chapel serving the city’s 700-strong Jewish community was set ablaze. Jewish cemeteries were repeatedly desecrated, worshippers were abused on their way home from prayer, and ‘Hitler’ was mockingly chanted in the streets by masked men. ‘I never thought I would see this hatred again in my lifetime, not in Sweden anyway,’ Mrs Popinski told The Sunday Telegraph. ‘This new hatred comes from Muslim immigrants. The Jewish people are afraid now.'” Read more.

UK: Judge Declares Muslim Rapists ‘A Danger To Young White Girls’

07/28/2011 Leave a comment

Revelation 9:21, “And they did not repent of their murders … or their sexual immorality …”

“TWO men who plied a vulnerable 16-year-old with drink and drugs before raping her have been jailed.

Adil Iqbal also raped a 13-year- old girl on a separate occasion and Judge Timothy Clayson said he is a danger and gave him a sentence for public protection.

It means he will serve seven- and-a-half years behind bars before he can be considered for parole — and must prove he is no longer a risk. Judge Clayson said he was a danger to young white girls.

Mazar Latif, who raped the 16- year-old in a car after Iqbal had abused her in a flat, has been jailed for eight years.

He will serve half the sentence in prison and the rest on licence in the community.

Yesterday, the mothers of the two girls, who did not know each other, spoke of the impact the ordeal had on their daughters.

The mother of the 13-year- old, who cannot be named for legal reasons, said: ‘My daughter is still having nightmares and is frightened to go out.

I wanted them both to be sent down forever, but we have got justice and now we will try to move on and help the girls and give them as normal a life as possible.’

The mother of the 16-year- old added: ‘They have shown no remorse for what they have done.'” Read more.

Flashback: UK Epidemic – Muslim Taxi Drivers Raping British Girls & Women – “Recently a BBC announcer was sacked/fired for requesting a ‘non Asian taxi driver’ to transport her young unaccompanied 14 year old daughter. (Out of concern for her daughter’s fears/mental well being & safety) Of course, the ‘racist’ club was trotted out by the mainstream media and others to verbally bludgeon Sam Mason for having the audacity to demand an ‘English driver’. But was Sam Mason really exposing her racism or was she reacting, as any mother would, to the facts that there is a ongoing epidemic of muslim taxi driver rapes in the UK? (Note: the media prefers the more vague term ‘Asian’)” Read more.

Flashback: Norwegian Authorities Covering Up Muslim Rapes; Rapist: Women Have No Rights or Opinions in Islam – “There has been a spike in the number of rape charges in Scandinavia in recent years. It has reached near epidemic proportions in Sweden… This trend is not exclusive to Scandinavia. It is the same all over Western Europe wherever we find significant numbers of Muslim immigrants. In fact, the number of rapes committed by Muslim immigrants in Western nations is so extremely high that it is difficult to view them only as random acts of individuals. It resembles warfare. German journalist Gudrun Eussner considers this to be ‘sexuality as a weapon against disobedient and non-Muslim women, both categorized as ‘unbelievers’. Against them jihad is the duty, and what to do with women ‘conquered’ in jihad, this may be read in the Qur’an: they become slaves to be used by the victors.’” Read more.

Fort Hood Part 2 Thwarted After Muslim Military Serviceman with Firearms, Bomb Making Components and Jihadist Material Arrested

07/28/2011 Leave a comment

Wait a minute.  The real threat comes from ‘right-wing Christian fundamentalists’, according to the mainstream media.  Surely, we must be misinterpreting this man’s peaceful intentions.  Or it’s just another one of those monumental flukes of the cosmos that yet again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again someone who was planning death and destruction wasn’t even a Christian …

“At least one U.S. military serviceman has been arrested in connection with an alleged plot to attack Fort Hood nearly two years after a deadly shooting rampage at the base, Fox News has learned exclusively.

Pvt. Naser Jason Abdo, an AWOL soldier from Fort Campbell, Kentucky, was arrested by the Killeen Police Department near Fort Hood and remains in custody there.

Abdo, 21, was found with weapons, explosives and jihadist materials at the time of his arrest, a senior Army source confirms to Fox News. He was arrested at around 2 p.m. Wednesday after someone called authorities to report a suspicious individual.

Eric Vasys, a spokesman with the FBI’s San Antonio Office, said authorities found firearms and bomb making components, which he described as smokeless gun powder, inside Abdo’s motel room. Sources also say Abdo was attempting to make a purchase at Guns Galore in Killeen, the same ammunition store where Major Nidal Hasan purchased weapons that were allegedly used to gun down 13 people and wound 30 others on Nov. 5, 2009.” Read more.

Pvt. Naser Jason Abdo admits he was planning an attack on Fort Hood – “A U.S. serviceman is in custody after he allegedly admitted he was planning an attack on the U.S. Army base at Fort Hood, Texas, the same base where 13 people were killed in a 2009 terror attack. U.S. officials told ABC News an AWOL serviceman, identified by the FBI as a Private First Class Naser Jason Abdo, was arrested Wednesday after making a purchase at Guns Galore in Killeen, Texas, the same ammunition store where Maj. Nidal Hasan purchased the weapons he allegedly used to gun down 13 people and wound 32 others on Nov. 5, 2009.” Read more.

Flashback August 2010, Naser Jason Abdo in CNN interview: “As the time [came near] to deployment, I started really asking myself and taking the question more seriously whether god would accept what I was doing, and whether I was really meant to go to war as opposed to the peace that Islam preaches … Islam is much more peaceful and tolerant religion than it is an aggressive religion, and so I don’t believe that Islam allows me to operate in any kind of warfare at all, including the US military in any war it partakes in.  I believe that our duty first, as a Muslim, is to serve god.”

Since this interview I guess he’s gotten really serious about the religion of peace, which is why he decided to share the Islamist understanding of peace at Fort Hood for a second time …

Egypt: Muslims Attack Christians After Installation of Church Bell

07/28/2011 Leave a comment

“(AINA) — An exchange of harsh words on July 25 between Ruth, a Christian woman, and Gassem Fouad, a Muslim man who had parked his tricycle in front of her home, escalated into assault by the man on Ruth and other Christian villagers, and the arrest of one Copt. After Ruth, who is 5 months pregnant, was assaulted, a Muslim mob waited for Coptic farmers to return from the fields, where they were intercepted and beaten with iron rods and pipes.

Security forces managed to contain the situation.

Six Christians, including Ruth and her sister-in-law Hannan, were hospitalized with concussions, head injuries and broken limbs. No Muslim was injured.

None of the Muslim perpetrators was arrested. Ruth’s husband, Kirillos Daniel, was accused of possessing a weapon — a rifle found thrown where the Christians were attacked, and is under detention.

In an interview on CTV Coptic TV, Father Estephanos Shehata, of the Samalout Coptic dioceses, said ‘The real reason behind this assault was the church bell, which has greatly angered the Muslims in the village.'” Read more.

Al-Qaeda Praises Syrian Protesters, Urges Them to Also Direct Their Movement Against Israel and the United States

07/28/2011 Leave a comment

“Al-Qaeda leader Ayman al-Zawahri urged Syrian protesters to direct their movement also against Washington and Israel, denouncing the United States as insincere in showing solidarity with them, according to an Internet video issued on Wednesday.

‘America, which cooperated with (Syrian President) Bashar al-Assad during his whole regime, claims today that it stands with you when it saw him floored by the earthquake caused by your fury,’ he said in the video posted on Islamist websites often used by al Qaeda.

The video carried the date of the Islamic month corresponding to June, when Zawahri was named by the Islamist group to succeed Osama bin Laden, who was killed by US forces in Pakistan in May after a nearly 10-year worldwide hunt.

‘You are standing with your bare chests facing tank and artillery shells and helicopters,’ Zawahri said of the Syrians demonstrating against Assad, whom he denounced as ‘America’s partner in the war on Islam in the name of fighting terror’.

‘Tell both America and (US President Barack) Obama: … our powerful uprising will not stop until we raise the victorious banner of jihad (holy war) … over Jerusalem,’ said Zawahri, wearing a white turban and robe and seated next to an assault rifle.” Read more.

July 11, 2011: Syrian protesters attack U.S., French embassies – “Hundreds of Syrian government supporters attacked the U.S. Embassy in Damascus on Monday, smashing windows and spray-painting walls with obscenities and graffiti that called the American ambassador a “dog.” Guards at the French Embassy fired in the air to ward off another group of protesters. The sharp escalation in tensions followed a visit last week by the American and French ambassadors to the city of Hama, a stronghold of opposition to authoritarian President Bashar Assad.” Read more

The leader reportedly vowed the U.S. ambassador would only visit the Syrian town of Deir Al-Zour ‘over his dead body’ and added he would personally stop Ford if he visited the town.” Read more.

Israel: Radical Islamists Calling for Islamic Caliphate Trying to Take Over Temple Mount

07/28/2011 Leave a comment

Are we about to soon witness one possible fulfillment of this prophecy come to pass? …

“On the 90th anniversary of the fall of the Ottoman Empire, the vast Islamic Caliphate regime which fell in 1921 after WWI, thousands of members of the Radical Islamist organization Hizb ut-Tahrir rallied on the Temple Mount in Jerusalem. They called for Muslims to unite and embrace the Caliphate rulership once more.

The rally took place in early July. Demonstrators flew banners bearing inscriptions such as ‘The Ummah (Muslims) Want Muslim Caliphates.’ A giant banner was put up in the Al Aksa mosque courtyard on the Temple Mount. Other banners said ‘No to Democracy, Yes to Caliphates’. The crowd controller, using a microphone, soon had the crowd chanting over and over, ‘O Muslim armies, awaken to help Muslims.’

The Hizb ut-Tahrir (‘Party of Liberation’) website calls for the Muslim armies to forcefully lift the Gaza IDF naval blockade with military action, making it serve ‘as a tight noose’ around Israel.

Caliphates were a totalitarian system of Muslim government established by Mohammed, who made himself the first Caliph, reigning until 632 C.E. The Caliph was a religious and political leader, who made the Koran’s prescriptions, now developed into the legal body known as Sharia law, the law of the land. The Ottoman Empire embraced the idea of a caliphate, and was governed this way until its dissolution.” Read more.
