Muslim Brotherhood Figure and Former Spokesman in the West: Establish a Global Islamic State

06/25/2011 2 comments

Remember, the Muslim Brotherhood is the same group from which Osama bin Laden and Ayman al-Zawahiri began as activists, the same group that the US administration invited to Obama’s Cairo speech in 2009, the same group that the US administration supports a role for in a reformed Egyptian government, the same group that Obama’s National Intelligence director James Clapper called ‘a secular organization’ …

“In a June 8, 2011 interview with the Egyptian daily Al-Shorouq, Dr. Kamal Al-Helbawy, former Muslim Brotherhood spokesman in the West, called upon the Arab youth to launch a new revolution that would eliminate the borders drawn by imperialist nations and bring about the establishment of a global Islamic state – “called ‘The United States of Islam.'” According to Al-Helbawy, the Muslim Brotherhood is active in approximately 80 countries and strives to realize the dream of becoming a global organization.

Following are excerpts from the interview…

Q: What was your organizational role before you resigned?

A: I was the Muslim Brotherhood’s spokesman in the West, and a member of the office of the World General Guide [of the Brotherhood’s executive office] and of [its] World Shura Council. In that context, [the Brotherhood has] no body called ‘The International Organization.’

Such an organization is a dream for the Muslim Brotherhood, a dream that was murdered in the name of [Mubarak’s] corruption and tyranny, when he banned [Brotherhood members] from traveling and holding meetings.

Here I must ask bluntly: Why did Israel say that Mubarak is a strategic treasure? Because his crimes act as a barrier against the resistance and the Muslim Brotherhood. In this atmosphere, it was hard to manage a global organization. Today, there is great hope that we can realize [this goal], since we witnessed the opening of the Muslim Brotherhood’s new headquarters, attended by Brotherhood [activists] from all countries.

The Muslim Brotherhood is organized in 80 countries, and they and the Islamists have a right to establish a global movement, much like global socialism or Zionism…

Why Shouldn’t We Have A Country Called ‘The United States Of Islam’… I Propose That the Arab Peoples… Take To the Streets With the Slogan ‘The Arab People Wants To Remove the Borders [Between Its Countries]’

Q: Regarding the global organization – will a Muslim Brotherhood member associate himself with the [global] movement or with his homeland? And what will happen should there be a contradiction between them?”

A: There will be no contradictions. Our thinking and our affiliation are to the exalted Allah. Our affiliation is to Islam. The global state of Islam is our ideal…” Read more.

Australia: Dad Prayed His Children Would Die as Martyrs, Forced Family to Watch Videos of Executions and Suicide Bombers

06/25/2011 Leave a comment

Another example of modern-day child sacrifice.  This ‘father’ loves death so much that he will seek after it for his own children, undoubtedly believing that — according to the words of the ‘prophet’ Mohammed — the intercession of a martyr will be accepted for seventy members of their family to join them in Paradise …

Proverbs 8:33-36, “Listen to my instruction and be wise; do not ignore it.  Blessed is the man who listens to me, watching daily at my doors, waiting at my doorway.  For whoever finds me finds life and receives favor from the LORD.  But whoever fails to find me harms himself; all who hate me love death.”

By Shelley Hadfield – “AN extremist dad living in suburban Australia prayed his children would die as martyrs before puberty so he could enter heaven honourably, a court has been told.

The man sat his daughter, who was not yet three, on his knee to watch videos of executions and suicide bombings, slapping her if she became distressed, his former wife testified.

She said he also had the little girl sing a Jihadi song accompanying the videos.

A federal magistrate accepted the man taught the little girl to ‘chant enthusiastically and joyously over the death and mutilation of other human beings’.

It was alleged the man also punched, slapped or kicked his wife if she did not watch the videos.

A Federal Magistrates’ Court judgment, published this week, has revealed the man sought access to his two children, now aged 6 and 3.

But the dad, who has been convicted of assaulting his former wife, has been denied time with the children.” Read more.

Muslim Convert Police Shot Last Week During Traffic Stop Was Armed With Large Amount of Armor-Piercing Bullets

06/25/2011 6 comments

Another one-in-a-musillion chance that a man planning ‘something’ was Muslim.  The Tacoma Police Department says that ‘the man’s intention with the gun is unknown’, but, come on, he wasn’t intending to hunt jack rabbits here through the shrubs of Washington. He, too, probably intended to make the headlines.  It also seems to have been mere chance that the police stumbled upon this recent convert to the ‘religion of peace’.  I wonder how many more lost Jihadi wannabes like Brooks Papineau are yet to be found? …

“KEY PENINSULA, Wash. — A man who was fatally shot by Tacoma police during a traffic stop early Wednesday morning pointed a gun loaded with armor-piercing bullets at the officer who stopped him and was carrying a large amount of ammunition in his truck, the Tacoma Police Department said.

Wednesday afternoon, the Medical Examiner’s Office identified the man as Brooks Papineau of Gig Harbor. He died of a gunshot wound to the abdomen.

‘The driver exited his vehicle armed with a gun, and the officer opened fire, striking the subject,’ said Mark Fulghum of the Tacoma Police Department.

When police searched Papineau’s truck, they found a large amount of ammunition and additional ammunition magazines. They also said they found a Koran and several books on converting to Islam.” Read more.

Christian Persecution a ‘Worldwide Emergency’

06/24/2011 Leave a comment

By Becky Ye – “A new report from an Italian sociologist shows that a Christian is killed every five minutes because of his or her faith, and the researcher says it’s critical that that information is made known to the world.

In the study by Massimo Introvigne, a representative of the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe, approximately 105,000 Christians are killed every year. That number does not include Christians who are murdered because of war, but solely represents believers who are put to death for their faith.

Jonathan Racho of International Christian Concern (ICC) laments the fact that anti-Christian persecution has sharply increased and is widely unrecognized.

‘The number of Christians who are killed within 100 years, in the 20th century, [it] is more than the number of Christians who were killed in the centuries preceding the 20th century,’ he reports.” Read more.

We Will ‘Cut Him to Pieces’: Muslims Surround Church in Upper Egypt, Threaten to Kill Priest

06/24/2011 Leave a comment

“(AINA) — Hundreds of Muslims surrounded the church of St George today in the village of Beni Ahmed West, 7 KM south of Minya, vowing to kill its priest Father George Thabet, who was serving the morning mass and was locked in the church with a number of parishioners. Security forces arrived five hours later and escorted Father George in a police car to the Coptic Diocese in Minya. ‘Father George looked as if he was the criminal, leaving his church in a police car.’ said one of the eye-witnesses. The Coptic youth who were attending mass remained inside church to defend it from Muslim attacks.

Eyewitnesses reported the Muslim mob, in their white dresses and long beards, chanted ‘We will kill the priest, we will kill him and no one will prevent us.’ One of their leaders said that they will ‘…cut him to pieces.’

It was reported that no police or security of any kind was present during the events.” Read more.

Understanding the Jihad Against Israel and America

06/24/2011 Leave a comment

By Andrew G. Bostom – “The late Southern Sudanese leader John Garang, in 1999, posed the following dual-part existential question for our era:

Is the call for jihad against a particular people a religious right of those calling for it, or is it a human rights violation against the people upon whom jihad is declared and waged?

As I hope to make plain, the answer to both parts of John Garang’s query is ‘Yes!’

Hamas cleric Muhsen Abu ‘Ita was interviewed July 13, 2008, on Al-Aqsa TV. After reminding listeners that the Koran’s opening prayer itself, the Fatiha, which pious Muslims repeat 17 times daily, declares that the Jews are “those who incur Allah’s wrath,” specifically in the 7th verse of the Fatiha, re-affirming the verse’s standard exegesis, or interpretation, for over 13 centuries, he declared:

The annihilation of the Jews here in Palestine is one of the most splendid blessings for Palestine. This will be followed by a greater blessing, Allah be praised, with the establishment of a Caliphate that will rule the land and will be pleasing to men and God.

Three months earlier Hamas MP and cleric Yunis Al-Astal had made these more elaborate remarks during a speech which aired on Palestinian Al-Aqsa TV April 11, 2008:

Very soon, Allah willing, Rome will be conquered, just like Constantinople was, as was prophesized by our prophet Muhammad. Today, Rome is the capital of the Catholics, or the Crusader capital, which has declared its hostility to Islam, and has planted the brothers of apes and pigs [i.e., Jews, Koran 2:65, 5:60, and 7:166, and other foundational Muslim texts] in Palestine in order to prevent the reawakening of Islam — this capital of theirs [Rome] will be an advanced post for the Islamic conquests, which will spread through Europe in its entirety, and then will turn to the two Americas, and even Eastern Europe. I believe that our children or our grandchildren will inherit our Jihad …” Read more.

Feds: Converts to Islam Planned Ft. Hood-Style Assault in Seattle

06/24/2011 1 comment

Chilling.  This Jihadi wannabe’s statement virtually mirrors what I wrote in an article here regarding the Fort Hood killer.

By RICHARD ESPOSITO and JASON RYAN – “Two men who converted to Islam have been arrested and charged by federal authorities with plotting a Ft. Hood-style assault on a Seattle military installation in which they could kill military personnel and then either escape or die as ‘martyrs.’

Abu Khalid Abdul-Latif, born Joseph Anthony Davis, and Walli Mujahidh, born Frederick Domingue Jr., are accused of planning to attack the Military Entrance Processing Station in Seattle with grenades and machine guns on July 5. Abdul-Latif, 33, and Mujahidh, 32, allegedly purchased machine guns from undercover agents to use in the assault. Their alleged objective was to deter further American military action in Islamic countries.

The defendants allegedly planned to attack Joint Base Lewis-McChord, a sprawling Army and Air Force installation south of Seattle that houses almost 20,000 military personnel and family members, but then changed targets. The Military Entrance Processing Station on East Marginal Way in Seattle is where enlistees report.

Abdul-Latif referred admiringly to the 2009 Fort Hood massacre, according to a confidential informant who is quoted in the criminal complaint filed Thursday. Abdul-Latif allegedly said that ‘if one person could kill so many people, three attackers could kill many more’ and that if he was killed in his own attack, his son would be proud he had fought the ‘non-believers.'” Read more.

Alleged terror plotter ‘looked like everyday guy’ – “Abu Khalid Abdul-Latif, also known as Joseph Anthony Davis, 33, of SeaTac, and Walli Mujahidh, aka Frederick Domingue Jr., 32, of Los Angeles, appeared in U.S. District Court in Seattle on Thursday on charges alleging they purchased machine guns and grenades from a paid police informant earlier this week as they moved into the final stages of planning an attack they hoped would inspire an uprising among radical Muslims in the United States... The informant predicted, according to the complaint, that the case would make the news, and Mujahidh ‘described the imaginary headline of a newspaper article: ‘Three Muslim Males Walk Into MEPS building, Seattle, Washington, and Gun Down Everybody.'” Read more.

‘What Are You Waiting For?’ – Al-Qaeda Calls on US Muslims to Buy Guns and Start Killing Americans – “There are tens of millions of Muslims living in western countries, with an estimated 5-7 million Muslims living in the United States alone. Can we begin to imagine the havoc to be wrought if even 10% of them were to engage in terrorist activities to secure themselves a place in paradise? This could be at least 500,000 radicalized followers of the ‘prophet Mohammad’ who want us dead for the cause of Dar al Islam. The Fort Hood killer, a Muslim US Army Major, waged his own jihad and took 13 lives. This was just one man with a gun. Imagine what half a million all throughout the country wielding guns and knives could do with similar intent.” Read more.

Islamist Group Promoting the Rise of the Caliphate: With Revolutions in the Muslim World ‘The Ummah is Determined’

06/24/2011 1 comment

Luke 21:9-11, 25-28, “When you hear of wars and revolutions, do not be frightened. These things must happen first, but the end will not come right away … Nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom.  There will be great earthquakes, famines and pestilences in various places, and fearful events and great signs from heaven … There will be signs in the sun, moon and stars. On the earth, nations will be in anguish and perplexity at the roaring and tossing of the sea.  Men will faint from terror, apprehensive of what is coming on the world, for the heavenly bodies will be shaken.  At that time they will see the Son of Man coming in a cloud with power and great glory.  When these things begin to take place, stand up and lift up your heads, because your redemption is drawing near.”

“Here is a promo video on a terrorist Caliphate conference to be held in UK on July 9th 2011. It is openly advertised on the internet to promote the Islamic terrorist agenda. For the dummies on the left says that there is no threat this conference should be another wake up call.

For those that do not know what The Caliphate here is the Britannica definition:

Caliphate, the political-religious state comprising the Muslim community and the lands and peoples under its dominion in the centuries following the death (ad 632) of the Prophet Mu?ammad. Ruled by a caliph (Arabic khalifah, ‘successor’), who held temporal and sometimes a degree of spiritual authority, the empire of the Caliphate grew rapidly through conquest during its first two centuries to include most of Southwest Asia, North Africa, and Spain. Dynastic struggles later brought about the Caliphate’s decline, and it ceased to exist with the Mongol destruction of Baghdad in 1258.” Source.

Revolution in the Muslim World: From Tyranny to Triumph

Auchtung Amerika: Hitler Would Be Proud as Jews Are Now Banned on Delta Air Lines Flights to Saudi Arabia

06/23/2011 3 comments

As word spread, Jews and Christians all across the Western world riot, torch vehicles, desecrate flags, burn Qur’ans and make death threa… oh wait…

Update 6/24/2011:  The USA Today news article has been grounded.  Looks like Delta Airlines isn’t enjoying the negative attention they’ve been receiving now that details of the deal have come to light.  Here is the full news article before it was confiscated, er, scrubbed:

By Paul Sancya, AP – “JERUSALEM — Jews and Israelis, or passengers carrying any non-Islamic article of faith, will not be able to fly Delta Airlines  flights from the U.S. to Saudi Arabia under Delta’s new partnership with Saudi Arabian Airlines.

‘Passengers carrying any non-Islamic article of faith will not be able to fly Delta airlines to Saudi Arabia under Delta’s new partnership with Saudi Arabian Airlines.

‘Although Delta announced in January that the Saudi airline would join its SkyTeam network next year, the implications of the deal only came to light recently, according to people who have scrutinized the details.

‘Saudi Arabia, which is governed by strict Islamic law, requires citizens of almost every country to obtain a visa. People who wish to enter the country must have a sponsor; women, who must be dressed according to Saudi standards of modesty, must be met at the Saudi airport by a man who will act as a chaperone.

‘Saudi Arabia bans anyone with an Israeli stamp in their passport from entering the country, even in transit. Many Jews believe the kingdom has also withheld visas from travelers with Jewish-sounding names.

Religious items such as Bibles that are not related to Islam may be confiscated at the airport.

Colby M. May, senior counsel of the American Center for Law and Justice, a conservative legal group founded by religious broadcaster Pat Robertson, said his office is trying to determine if the agreement runs afoul of U.S. law.

‘The very idea that there is a common carrier airline service that would deny an American citizen in America access to their services because they are Jewish or have religious items such as a yarmulke, a cross or a priestly collar, is deeply disturbing,’ May said. Read more…

Obama Pulls Out of Afghanistan as Terror Increases, More Details of Gruesome Beheading of Afghan Christian Surfaces

06/23/2011 Leave a comment

Revelation 20:4, “And I saw thrones, and they sat on them, and judgment was committed to them. Then I saw the souls of those who had been beheaded for their witness to Jesus and for the word of God, who had not worshiped the beast or his image, and had not received his mark on their foreheads or on their hands. And they lived and reigned with Christ for a thousand years.”

“Afghans are warning of dire consequences for the country’s tiny Christian population should American forces leave Afghanistan, as President Barack Obama prepares to announce his plans for a troop drawdown in a televised address to the nation scheduled for Wednesday evening.

‘If U.S. troops are not in Afghanistan the Taliban will come to power,’ said Obaid S. Christ, an Afghan Christian exiled to India who spoke to me Tuesday…

… a more recent, gruesome incident makes clear that the danger for anyone turning from Islam in Afghanistan is not over.  A video released in recent weeks, and made available to WORLD this week by two separate Afghan sources, shows four Afghan militants beheading a man believed to be a Christian in Herat Province.

The militants, who claim to be Taliban, captured the victim, a man in his 40s named Abdul Latif (according to Obaid Christ, who provided translation of the video), earlier this year from his village outside Enjeel, a town south of Herat.

In the two-minute video, the men, wearing explosive belts (or suicide vests) and kaffiya head scarves to cover their faces, recite verses from the Quran while forcing Latif to the ground and pinning him with their feet. ‘You who are joined with pagans . . . your sentence [is] to be beheaded,’ read one of the militants in Farsi from what looked like a paper decree. ‘Whoever changes his religion should be executed.’ The passages refer to Sura 8:12 (‘I will instill terror into the hearts of the Unbelievers: smite ye above their necks . . .’) and the hadiths, or sayings of Mohammed.” Read more.

Under Obama, U.S. Casualty Rate in Afghanistan Increased 5-Fold

06/23/2011 Leave a comment

Now you know one of the other reasons why Obama is in a hurry to get out of Afghanistan …

By Edwin Mora – “The average monthly casualty rate for U.S. military forces serving in Afghanistan has increased 5-fold since President Barack Obama was inaugurated on Jan. 20, 2009.

1,540 U.S. troops have been killed in Afghanistan since Oct. 7, 2001, when U.S. forces began fighting in that country to oust the Taliban regime that had been harboring al Qaeda and to track down and capture or kill al Qaeda terrorists.

During the Bush presidency, which ended on Jan. 20, 2009 with the inauguration of President Obama, U.S. troops were present in Afghanistan for 87.4 months and suffered 570 casualties—a rate of 6.5 deaths per month.

During the Obama presidency, through today, U.S. troops have been present in Afghanistan for 29.1 months and have suffered 970 casualties—a rate of 33.3 deaths per month.” Read more.

Ahmadinejad: Iran Not Afraid to Make Nuclear Weapon

06/23/2011 Leave a comment

On one hand the Iranians say they are not afraid to make a nuclear weapon, but on the other they say they don’t ‘intend’ to do so.  You say that now Mr. Ahmadinejad, but the actions of your country speak louder than your lying words.  And let me guess, after the first nuclear weapon is made your answer will then be to finish the rest of your sentence, “It wasn’t our intention … it was Allah’s” …

“TEHRAN, Iran (AP) — Iran’s president says his country isn’t afraid of making a nuclear weapon but doesn’t intend to do so.

Iranian state television on Thursday quoted President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad as saying: “If we do want to make a bomb, we are not afraid of anybody.”

Iran has long insisted that its nuclear programs are peaceful and meant only to generate power for a future nuclear reactor network.

But the U.N. Security Council has passed four sets of sanctions against Iran for refusing to freeze activities that could be used in a weapons program.”  Read more.

Watchdog Finds Evidence That Iran Worked on Nuclear Triggers – “The world’s global nuclear inspection agency, frustrated by Iran’s refusal to answer questions, revealed for the first time on Tuesday [May 24, 2011] that it possesses evidence that Tehran has conducted work on a highly sophisticated nuclear triggering technology that experts said could be used for only one purpose: setting off a nuclear weapon.” Read more.
