Three More Suspects Arrested In Boston Bombing Case As Saudi Arabia Reveals It Warned US Of Tsarnaev, ‘Something Was Going To Happen’

05/01/2013 4 comments

Not only did Saudi Arabia reportedly warn the United States about the threat that the elder Tsarnaev brother posed and that “something was going to happen in a major U.S. city”, they even deemed Tamerlan Tsarnaev too “radical” to visit Mecca for the annual Hajj pilgrimage. This is a monumental epic failure on the part of “Homeland Security” …

Update: The Saudi ambassador in Washington is now denying that they warned America about Tsarnaev …

MyFoxBoston – “Three new suspects have been taken into custody in the Boston Marathon bombings investigation, the Boston Police Dept. tweeted Wednesday morning.

The new suspects are expected to be charged with providing some sort of assistance to the two main suspects, sources told Fox News. It was not immediately known when the suspects were taken into custody.

Boston police said there was no immediate danger to the public and referred further questions to the FBI.

The development comes as investigators have continued to scrutinize two of Dzhokhar Tsarnaev’s classmates at UMass-Dartmouth.

Dzhokhar Tsarnaev’s alleged associates are natives of Kazakhstan and have already been detained by U.S. immigration officials for alleged immigration violations.

Azamat Tazhayakov and Dias Kadyrbayev were in federal immigration court earlier Wednesday morning on those matters, a government source said; however, the court hearing was delayed.

Authorities were not immediately saying who the three detained were or if Tsarnaev’s two classmates were part of the new group of suspects.

An attorney for Kadyrbayev has told media outlets that the two young men have been interviewed by FBI agents and that they were cooperating.

The Boston Police Dept. broke the news in a tweet, writing, ‘Three additional suspects taken into custody in Marathon bombing case. Details to follow.'” Read more.

New Boston Suspects Drove Car With ‘Terrorista #1′ License Plate – “Two suspects who have been taken into custody in connection with the Boston Marathon bombings drove a car with ‘Terrorista #1’ license plates. Azamat Tazhayakov and Dias Kadyrbayev were reportedly arrested, along with one other person, for allegedly making false statements and obstructing justice during the federal investigation into Boston Marathon bombing suspects Tamerlan and Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, officials said Wednesday. Tazhayakov and Kadrbayev, who are reportedly in FBI custody, drove around in a black BMW with ‘Terrorista #1’ license plates and were also photographed with Dzhokhar Tsarnaev in Times Square.” Read more.

Tamerlan Tsarnaev Was Too Radical Even For Saudi Arabia, US Warned In Writing About Possible Terror Connections And That ‘Something Was Going To Happen In A Major U.S. City’ – “The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia sent a written warning about accused Boston Marathon bomber Tamerlan Tsarnaev to the U.S. Department of Homeland Security in 2012, long before pressure-cooker blasts killed three and injured hundreds, according to a senior Saudi government official with direct knowledge of the document. The Saudi warning, the official told MailOnline, was separate from the multiple red flags raised by Russian intelligence in 2011, and was based on human intelligence developed independently in Yemen. Citing security concerns, the Saudi government also denied an entry visa to the elder Tsarnaev brother in December 2011, when he hoped to make a pilgrimage to Mecca, the source said. Tsarnaev’s plans to visit Saudi Arabia have not been previously disclosed. The Saudis’ warning to the U.S. government was also shared with the British government. ‘It was very specific’ and warned that ‘something was going to happen in a major U.S. city,’ the Saudi official said during an extensive interview. It ‘did name Tamerlan specifically,’ he added.” Read more.

Sudan: Christian Persecution Intensifying, Authorities Threaten To Bury Christians Alive During Interrogations

05/01/2013 3 comments

Meanwhile, instead of condemning the atrocities, the Obama Administration is laying down the red carpet for Sudan’s genocidal leaders in Washington for talks

Morning Star News – “Sudan has stepped up its arrests and deportations of Christians, with interrogation including threats to bury them alive, sources said.

Besides the deportation to South Sudan of the secretary general of the Sudan Catholic Bishops’ Conference on April 12, other Christians have been targeted in the past several weeks for arrest, interrogation and/or deportation. On April 21, as a South Sudanese church elder was worshiping at a Sunday service in Khartoum, officials from the National Intelligence and Security Service (NISS) detained him to pump him for information, the elder told Morning Star News.

Authorities questioned him for four hours before releasing him, he said.

‘They told me to reveal to them 12 names of Christians who are active in evangelism in Sudan, but I told them I have no idea,’ said the elder, whose name is withheld for security reasons.

The right to manifest one’s faith is a key provision of the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights, to which Sudan is a signatory.

NISS officials have required staff members of a university campus-based ministry to report to them weekly following their arrest on Feb. 23; initially they were held and interrogated for a week, one said.

‘The security officers verbally threatened to bury us alive if we did not give information on who was supporting these Christian activities,’ the Christian worker said.

After the Christian workers were released, for two weeks security officials ordered them to report to NISS offices on a daily basis for interrogation about links with Christian organizations, said the worker, whose organization name is withheld for security reasons. NISS officials confiscated the organization’s equipment, vehicle and documents. They also went to the home of organization members and took academic papers, laptops, digital cameras, mobile phones and iPads, among other personal belongings, he said.

Authorities deported three of the group’s workers to South Sudan in March after monitoring their movements and telephone calls, another member told Morning Star News.

‘They gave me only 72 hours to leave the country,’ the Christian worker said. ‘They came to my house while I was away and took five laptops of my sisters, as well as my documents, identity cards, school documents and mobile phone. I thank God that He has been with me during the interrogation with the Security.'” Read more.

By Nicolai Sennels, Islam verses Europe – “FLEMISH SYRIA JIHAD WARRIORS’ ARE INVOLVED IN BEHEADING.

The court had yesterday arrested four suspected members of the radical Muslim group ‘Sharia4Belgium’. There is evidence that they were involved in serious criminal activities in Syria, including torture and beheadings of non-Muslims; writes ‘Het Laatste Nieuws (The Latest News).

Sharia4Belgium-leader Fouad Belkacem (also named Abu Imran) from Boom is back behind bars. In addition; two brothers from Vilvoorde and a man from Berchem are locked. ‘The group was supposed to be dissolved, but that’s not true,’ said Eric Van Der Sypt, spokesman for the federal prosecutor. ‘They actively recruit street youth, indoctrinate them, give them combat training and organizing violent actions in Syria and in our country. ‘Sharia4Belgium’ sent the youngest 33 radicalized Muslims from Vilvoorde and Antwerp to Syria.’ From overheard stories of warriors who have returned, that they were incorporated into fighters groups linked to Al Qaeda. ‘They took part in jihadist and Salafist terrorist activities.

There are strong indications that they were guilty in Syria of abducting and executing ‘infidels.'” Source – Vlaamse Syrië-strijders Betrokken Bij Onthoofdingen via Islam verses Europe.

Syria: Obama Moving Toward Sending Lethal Weapons To Rebels While ‘Nowhere In Rebel-Controlled Syria Is There A Secular Fighting Force To Speak Of’

05/01/2013 2 comments

Meh. Despite the atrocities these rebels have committed, they’re reflective and representative enough of the Syrian population… right? …

Proverbs 22:24-25, “Make no friendship with a man given to anger, nor go with a wrathful man, lest you learn his ways and entangle yourself in a snare.”

By Karen DeYoung, The Washington Post – “President Obama is preparing to send lethal weaponry to the Syrian opposition and has taken steps to assert more aggressive U.S. leadership among allies and partners seeking the ouster of President Bashar al-Assad, according to senior administration officials.

The officials said they are moving toward the shipment of arms but emphasized that they are still pursuing political negotiation. To that end, the administration has launched an effort to convince Russian President Vladimir Putin that the probable use of chemical weapons by the Syrian government — and the more direct outside intervention that could provoke — should lead him to reconsider his support of Assad.

But Obama, who spoke by telephone with Putin on Monday and is sending Secretary of State John F. Kerry to Moscow in the coming days, is likely to make a final decision on the supply of arms to the opposition within weeks, before a scheduled meeting with Putin in June, the officials said.

Confirmation that the Assad government has used chemical weapons, Obama said Tuesday, would mean that ‘there are some options that we might not otherwise exercise that we would strongly consider.’…

Yet even as Obama voiced caution in responding to what he has called the ‘red line’ on chemical weapons, the senior officials described him as ready to move on what one described as the ‘left-hand side’ of a broad spectrum that ranged from ‘arming the opposition to boots on the ground.’

‘We’re clearly on an upward trajectory,’ the senior official said. ‘We’ve moved over to assistance that has a direct military purpose.'” Read more.

‘Nowhere In Rebel-Controlled Syria Is There A Secular Fighting Force To Speak Of’ – ” In Syria’s largest city, Aleppo, rebels aligned with Al Qaeda control the power plant, run the bakeries and head a court that applies Islamic law. Elsewhere, they have seized government oil fields, put employees back to work and now profit from the crude they produce. Across Syria, rebel-held areas are dotted with Islamic courts staffed by lawyers and clerics, and by fighting brigades led by extremists. Even the Supreme Military Council, the umbrella rebel organization whose formation the West had hoped would sideline radical groups, is stocked with commanders who want to infuse Islamic law into a future Syrian government. Nowhere in rebel-controlled Syria is there a secular fighting force to speak of.” Read more.

Is Al Qaeda Our New Peace Partner In Syria? – “Would you help Al Qaeda fighters attempt take over a chemical weapons plant? President Barack Obama and Secretary of State John Kerry essentially just did. Fortunately, the armed insurgents were stopped just a mile from the compound after vicious fighting. It would have been unthinkable in the months and years after Sept. 11 that our leadership in Washington would be actively helping al Qaeda and other radical Islamic fighting forces secure oil fields in Syria, conquer chemical weapons plants and eventually the country. But that’s exactly what we are doing.” Read more.

New York: Muslim Man Sentenced To Five Years In Prison For Plotting To Blow Up Synagogues

04/30/2013 2 comments

For peaceful purpo… wait, only five years for plotting to blow up multiple synagogues in order to create chaos, kill and intimidate as many Jews as possible? Apparently the judge overseeing the case believes that the aspiring Islamic terrorist “learned his lesson.” I have to agree. The would-be terrorist learned that the next time he conspires to sow death and destruction, don’t get caught …

By Shayna Jacobs, New York Daily News – “A Moroccan national who plotted to blow up Manhattan synagogues was sentenced to five years in prison Friday.

Mohamed Mamdouh, 22, copped to three crimes under state terror laws on Feb. 28 in exchange for a five year prison sentence, plus three years of post-release supervision.

Prosecutors said Mamdouh and ‘mastermind’ Ahmed Ferhani — busted on May 11, 2011 — discussed dressing as observant Jews to infiltrate synagogues and tried to buy weapons to arm themselves for ‘the cause.’

‘His case has been about bringing to justice two men, angry at what they perceived as the unjust treatment of Muslims in the world, who spoke of their hatred for Jews, and plotted to attack synagogues in New York City using explosives,’ prosecutor Gary Galperin said at Mamdouh’s sentencing.

‘Their intent was to create chaos and to intimidate and coerce Jews living in New York City, and thereby send a message far beyond New York,’ he added.

Ferhani at one point said he wanted to attack 10 synagogues.

Manhattan Supreme Court Justice Michael Obus pointed to the gravity of the bomb plot at Friday’s sentencing.

‘The conduct contemplated is well beyond what can possibly be tolerated in a civilized society,’ Obus said.

But the judge suggested the young would-be terrorist learned his lesson.” Read more.

New Video Shows Police Assisting Muslims During Violent Attack Against Christian Mourners In Egypt

04/30/2013 1 comment

Here’s an update on this story. President Morsi definitely meant what he said: The Islamic conquest of Christians in Egypt is well under way …

American Thinker – “‘At least one person died and more than 80 were injured in this incident. Alicia Ludwig, editor of the Mideast Christian Views News Agency, first obtained this video and appeared on America Live today. She said the Interior Ministry in Egypt tried to blame Coptic protesters for attacking Central Security Forces.

The footage tells a different story. It shows attackers throwing Molotov cocktails and tear gas at the crowd that was there attending a funeral.

Ludwig said the violence against Christians has increased since Egypt’s 2011 revolution and the election of a Muslim Brotherhood president.’

New video out of Egypt shows Christians being attacked at the country’s biggest church. The footage appears to show police officers standing by as several attackers launch a deadly assault on worshipers. In different video of the same incident, a police officer appears to be helping a man who prepares to attack a courtyard full of mourners.” Source – American Thinker.

BBC – “Six men from the West Midlands have pleaded guilty to planning to bomb an English Defence League rally.

Omar Mohammed Khan, Mohammed Hasseen, Anzal Hussain, Mohammed Saud, Zohaib Ahmed and Jewel Uddin admitted preparing an act of terrorism. All six will be sentenced on 6 June.

Five of them took a homemade bomb to an EDL rally in Dewsbury, West Yorkshire, last June but arrived after it ended.

They were caught after their car was stopped and found to have no insurance.

Police and security services had no intelligence about the planned attack, although one of the would-be killers, Jewel Uddin, was under surveillance in relation to another terror plan.

After the hearing at Woolwich Crown Court, Assistant Chief Constable of West Midlands Police Marcus Beale said: “Their capability was clear.

‘They created devices that would have certainly maimed and possibly killed people depending on how close they were.

‘Their intent was very, very clear. In my view they were very dangerous.’

Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas: Palestinians Who Kill Jews Cannot Be Punished

04/30/2013 3 comments

Because to punish Palestinians for killing Jews would, in their mind, be punishing someone simply for following the commands of their “prophet” Mohammed. He was, after all, a “perfect example for mankind” to follow whose teachings are “the fire with which” they “harvest the skulls of the Jews.” It is therefore an act of worship to kill Jews, and an act that draws them closer to “Allah” is an act that must be praised, not punished …

Hadith, Tabari 7:97, “The morning after the murder of Ashraf, the Prophet declared, ‘Kill any Jew who falls under your power.’”

Qur’an Sura 33:21, “Indeed in Allah’s Messenger (Mohammad) you have an excellent example to follow for him who hopes in (meeting with) Allah and the Last Day…”

By Ryan Jones, Israel Today – “Palestinian leader Mahmoud Abbas, hailed the world over as a ‘moderate,’ again insisted last week that Palestinian Arabs who murder Israeli Jews cannot be punished for their crimes.

Abbas was hosting a two-day ‘Freedom and Dignity’ conference in Ramallah to mark the 11th anniversary of Israel’s arrest of Marwan Barghouti, a senior member of Abbas’ own Fatah party who was convicted of directing numerous terrorist attacks against Israelis.

Polls show that a vast majority of Palestinians want to elect Barghouti as their president, if he is [ever] freed by Israel.

At the event, Abbas declared that whether or not Israel frees the thousands of jailed Palestinian terrorists will determine its true commitment to peace.

Many of the Palestinians jailed by Israel took part in attacks that killed innocent Jewish men, women and children. And most of the rest were captured while trying to do so.

According to Abbas, these killers and would-be killers must not be held accountable for their crimes. After all, they were only trying to kill Jews.” Read more.

Pentagon’s Top Brass Crush Career Of Army Officer Who Warned Of Jihadists

04/30/2013 1 comment

The false prophet would be proud …

By Rowan Scarborough, The Washington Times – “The Pentagon’s top brass has dealt another blow to a decorated Army officer who was fired last year as a war college instructor because of his teachings about radical Islam, his attorney told The Washington Times.

A four-star general’s rejection of Lt. Col. Matthew Dooley for consideration for command of a combat battalion likely means the end of a promising Army career of an armor officer who was decorated for valor in Iraq and received glowing evaluations.

Last year, Col. Dooley underwent an Army command selection board review after he was transferred from the Joint Forces Staff College in Norfolk, Va., to a weapons integration unit at Fort Eustis, Va.

The review board, comprising three generals and two colonels, voted to keep Col. Dooley as a candidate for battalion commander, his attorney, Richard Thompson, told The Times.

The board, however, was overruled by Gen. Lloyd J. Austin III, then the Army’s vice chief and now chief of U.S. Central Command. He ordered Col. Dooley’s name removed from the candidates list, said Mr. Thompson, who added that he had read the ‘official use only’ memo.

News of Col. Dooley’s setback has emerged as some researchers of radical Islam are criticizing the Obama administration for downplaying the Islamic connection in a string of attempted and successful terrorist attacks, including the Boston Marathon bombings on April 15.

Mr. Thompson, president of the Thomas More Law Center in Michigan, said the blame for Col. Dooley’s treatment ultimately belongs to ArmyGen. Martin E. Dempsey, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff. Gen. Dempsey publicly condemned Col. Dooley’s teachings and set into motion investigations that resulted in his firing.

‘When he entered West Point, Matt Dooley’s ultimate goal was to one day command a battalion,’ Mr. Thompson said. ‘But after 18 years of hard work, family sacrifice, six deployments and outstanding officer evaluations, Matt’s dream was shattered by Gen. Dempsey.

‘Yet, despite Gen. Dempsey’s personal attacks on LTC Dooley, a command review board consisting of generals and colonels voted to retain LTC Dooley on the list for battalion command. But political correctness once again dominated the Pentagon. Gen. Lloyd Austin, the Army’s Vice Chief of Staff, directed that LTC Dooley’s name be removed from the Command List. Sadly, a principle of leadership — loyalty to the men who are loyal to you — is once again ignored. And violation of that principle in this case not only results in a miscarriage of justice to a loyal and patriotic officer, but deprives our nation of a proven combat commander.’

The Times asked Army public affairs for comment but received no response.” Read more.

Saudi Arabia: Prominent Religious Leader Calls For Slavery To Be Legalized Once Again Because ‘Slavery Is A Part Of Islam’

04/29/2013 11 comments

You can rape and torture slaves, and even kill as many Jews and Christians as your pious heart desires, but whatever you do please avoid flying kites, hurting frogs or looking at the letter X. And please, for the sake of the children, avoid samosas, tomatoes and Chevrolets

By Jerrold L. Sobel, American Thinker – “Slavery is explicitly permitted in the Koran.  Recently Sheikh Saleh Al-Fawzan, a prominent Saudi religious leader called for slavery to be re-legalized throughout the kingdom.  According to the Sheik, a member of the Senior Council of Clerics:  ‘Slavery is a part of Islam.  Slavery is part of jihad, and jihad will remain as long there is Islam.’

In thought and deed this way of thinking is common throughout the Islamic world.  Abu Ishaq al-Huwanini, an Egyptian Cleric proudly proclaims he wishes to apply the ancient Shar’i code of enslaving populations which refuse to pay the jizia (poll tax) or converting to Islam when defeated at the hands of a Muslim nation.  He states:  ‘When I want a sex slave, I go to the market and pick whichever female I desire and buy her’

Why such dastardly remarks and proof of such practices are discounted by those so quick to chastise Israel is perplexing to say the least.  A segment of the Jewish population, particularly on campuses throughout the world, denounces Israel as an apartheid state while ignoring the very real practice of Islamic slavery and the endemic degradation of women which exists to this very day; most egregiously throughout Africa and the Middle East.

Perhaps, unfortunate to say, slavery is almost discounted in the Arab Middle East, and recognition of it in today’s politically correct world is muted at best.  But one would think the widespread Muslim enslavement of native black people throughout Africa would be a cause célèbre amongst the self-proclaimed intelligentsia.  It simply isn’t.

How many people have heard the story of Moulkheir Mint Yarba?  Very few if any I assume.  According to a CNN story written by John D. Sutter, Moulkheir Mint Yarba is a woman born into slavery in the West African, Islamic nation of Mauritania.  A country in which modern slavery is more prevalent than anywhere else in the world.

One day after returning to her wretched dwelling from tending her master’s goats she was devastated to find her

infant daughter left outside in the searing desert heat to die.  This was done as punishment by her master; a man who had fathered the infant subsequent to raping this woman.  Why such a despicable act?  He told her she would work faster without the child on her back.  What recourse did she have?  The same as the other 10%-20% of slaves that live in Mauritania, none.

Just to the South of Mauritania is another West African nation, Senegal.  Its population is 9.1 million, 80% of whom are Muslims.  Goree Island, lies less than 2 miles off the coast of Senegal, and was one of West Africa’s largest slave trading outposts during the Atlantic Slave Trade.  While slaves no longer flow in and out of the slave houses of Gorée Island, slavery continues to riddle the country.  Senegal is a source, transit, and destination country for modern slaves, according to the U.N. Human Rights Council.

Authorities in Nigeria say as many as 40,000 girls and women have been trafficked to nearby West African countries to serve as sex workers.  Simon Egede an investigator from Nigeria’s National Agency for Prohibition of Traffic in Persons found slave camps full of Nigerian women and girls in Mali, Ivory Coast, Burkina Faso, Niger, Libya, and Morocco.  He estimates that there are between 20,000 and 40,000 victims.  What do all these nations have in common?  Political correctness aside, the least common denominator denotes an average of better than 75% of their collective population is Islamic.  These are indisputable facts which are documented and well known to the U.N., the E.U., and in governmental agencies throughout the world.  So once again, where is the outcry on American campuses by professors and students so quick to castigate Israel?  And what has the world body done so far about it?

On November 8, 2012 the U.N. elected genocidal, misogynistic and tyrannical Sudan to its 54-member Economic and Social Council.  Laughingly, this U.N. body regulates human rights groups, oversees U.N. committees on women’s rights, and crafts resolutions from Internet freedom to female genital mutilation.  It gets crazier.

The following month, December 12, the U.N.’s top human rights body marked Human Rights Day by electing Mauritania’s Ambassador as one of 4 Vice Presidents to the Human Rights Council.  At the same time another Vice President elected was the representative from the Maldives, a predominantly Islamic Island in the Indian Ocean just off the east coast of Africa.

In this wonderful country, non-Muslim foreign workers may only practice their faith in private.  Speech deemed ‘contrary to the tenets of Islam’ is restricted; women are flogged for extramarital sex, and homosexual activity is a crime punishable with banishment and flogging.

Dismissing or ignoring the crimes and inhumanities committed by the aforementioned nations, it’s become acceptable for leftist groups on and off campus to demonize, delegitimize, and judge Israel with a double standard, while issuing a free pass to Islamic deprivations such as honor killings, misogyny, slavery, as well as other heinous practices.  Quick to drown out and block appearances by pro-Israeli speakers on campus, their silence is deafening to the crimes committed in the Muslim world.  We’ve all heard of the ‘Apartheid week’ libel spewed against Israel every March.  Has anyone heard of an equivalent ‘anti Slavery week?’  I haven’t.

It is biased behavior is par for the course at the U.N. and almost understandable.  It’s a lot easier for them and the nations which they’re comprised of to use Israel as a punching bag rather than focus their attention on the many Muslim nations where barbaric atrocities are continuously committed and are just a part of daily life.

What’s not understandable is the apathy and blindness self-righteous academia gives to these uncivilized practices which should be anathema to the ideals they so sanctimoniously claim to stand for.” Source – American Thinker.

Sweden: Stockholm Bows Down To Allah, Allows Broadcast Of Islamic Call To Prayer Over Loudspeakers For The First Time Ever

04/29/2013 15 comments

The Swedish city of Malmo surrendered to Muslims, now Stockholm bows down to their god. Placating to an ideology that hates all things non-Islamic will not stem the rising tide of anti-Semitism in Sweden. It will not eliminate attacks against converts to Christianity. It will not bring about a swift end to Islamic cruelty and terrorism and “rape jihad.” It will do nothing but encourage more of this behavior, for the Ummah will not settle with just one mosque broadcasting the Islamic call to prayer. They will not settle for just one city. They will not settle for just one nation. They will not settle until every country and city and mosque in Europe proclaims loud and clear that “there is no god but Allah, and Mohammed is his messenger” …

By Cynthia Yacowar-Sweeney, American Thinker – “Calls to summon Muslims to prayer were broadcast over loudspeakers for the first time ever in Sweden this past Friday on April 26th at the Fittja Mosque in the Stockholm municipality of Botkyrka.  The Islamic call to prayer (adhan), resonating from the towering 104-foot (32-meter) minaret, began with the ear-shattering ‘Allahu Akbar’ (Allah is Great) and was followed by the Shahada, the Muslim declaration of faith: ‘There is no God but Allah, and Muhammad is the messenger of Allah’.  Every Friday, people from as far as two kilometers away will be subjected to hear what U.S. President Obama called ‘one of the prettiest sounds on earth’.

This is what Swedes in the Stockholm municipality of Botkyrka will have to get used to, now that the decision rendered by the Botkyrka Municipal Assembly and authorized by the Botkyrka Police to approve the public call to worship, has taken effect.  Whether or not Swedes find it offensive, loud, or disruptive, they have no choice but to listen every Friday to the live three-to-five-minute amplified recitation of the Muslim declaration of faith that calls the people to come together and pray. To pray for what?

Has anyone ever wondered, or taken the time to understand what these prayers, to which Muslims are now being publicly called, are all about?  One of the Friday prayers consists of the seven verses of the opening chapter of the Koran, Al-Fatiha (The Beginning).  This prayer, which is repeated twice during Friday noon prayer, and repeated 17 times a day by religious Muslims, instills distrust of the non-believer by asking Allah to keep Muslims away from the path of the Jews and Christians:

Guide us to the Straight Way, the Way of those on whom You have bestowed Your Grace, not (the way) of those who earned Your Anger (such as the Jews), nor of those who went astray (such as the Christians).

According to Louis Palme who often writes on Muslim apostate websites, Friday prayers include recitation of two additional Koranic chapters, chapters 62 (Friday) and 63 (Hypocrites).  These chapters encourage hatred of not only Jews and Christians, but also of those who renounce their Muslim faith. Jews are compared to ‘the likeness of a donkey who carries huge burdens of books (but understands nothing from them)’ and are told to long for death if they pretend to be friends of Allah.  Non-believers (i.e., Christians, Hindus, Buddhists) are condemned to a state of error until Mohammed purifies them ‘from the filth of disbelief and polytheism’ with his verses.  Hypocrites or apostates ‘are the enemies so beware of them. May Allah curse them!’

The application to demand permission for the amplified call to prayer in Botkyrka was submitted in January 2012 by the President of the Botkyrka Islamic Cultural Association, Ismail Okur.  He convinced the majority of the Botkyrka Municipal Assembly members to concede to his demand after telling Swedish newspaper Dagen that ‘now we want to have religious freedom.’

Unbeknown to most council members, Islam does not allow religious freedom — according to the Koran (Medina chapters), the

The Death Of Churches In The Islamic World

The “religion of peace” has been the greatest mass murdering force in the history of humanity. And now history is something that Islamists are working all too hard to repeat once again …

Daniel 7:19-22, “Then I wished to know the truth about the fourth beast, which was different from all the others, exceedingly dreadful, with its teeth of iron and its nails of bronze, which devoured, broke in pieces, and trampled the residue with its feet; and the ten horns that were on its head, and the other horn which came up, before which three fell, namely, that horn which had eyes and a mouth which spoke pompous words, whose appearance was greater than his fellows. I was watching; and the same horn was making war against the saints, and prevailing against them, until the Ancient of Days came, and a judgment was made in favor of the saints of the Most High, and the time came for the saints to possess the kingdom.”

By Raymond Ibrahim, Human Events – “Christians throughout the Islamic world are under attack.  Unlike Muslim attacks on Christians, which are regularly confused with a myriad of social factors, the ongoing attacks on Christian churches in the Muslim world are perhaps the most visible expression of Christian persecution under Islam. In churches, Christians throughout the Islamic world are simply being Christians—peacefully and apolitically worshipping their God.  And yet modern day Muslim governments try to prevent them, Muslim mobs attack them, and Muslim jihadis massacre them.

To understand the nature of this perennial hostility, one must first examine Muslim doctrines concerning Christian churches; then look at how these teachings have manifested themselves in reality over the course of centuries; and finally  look at how modern day attacks on Christian churches mirror the attacks of history, often in identical patterns.   The continuity is undeniable.

Because tracing and documenting the treatment of churches across the thousands of miles of formerly Christian lands conquered by Islam is well beyond the purview of this study, a paradigm is needed.  Accordingly, an examination of the treatment of Christian churches in Egypt suffices as a model for understanding the fate of churches under Islamic dominion.   Indeed, as one of the oldest and largest Muslim nations, with one of the oldest and largest Christian populations, Egypt is the ultimate paragon for understanding all aspects of Christianity under Islam, both past and present.

Muslim Doctrine Concerning Churches

Sharia law is draconian if not hostile to Christian worship.  Consider the words of some of Islam’s most authoritative and classic jurists, the same ones revered today by Egypt’s Salafis.  According to Ibn Qayyim author of the multivolume Rules for the Dhimmis, it is ‘obligatory’ to destroy or convert into a mosque ‘every church’ both old and new that exists on lands that were taken by Muslims through force, for they ‘breed corruption.’  Even if Muslims are not sure whether one of ‘these things [churches] is old [pre-conquest] or new, it is better to err on the side of caution, treat it as new, and demolition it.’

Likewise, Ibn Taymiyya confirms that ‘the ulema of the Muslims from all four schools of law—Hanafi, Shafi‘i, Maliki, Hanbali, and others, including al-Thawri, al-Layth, all the way back to the companions and the followers—are all agreed that if the imam destroys every church in lands taken by force, such as Egypt, Sudan, Iraq, Syria … this would not be deemed unjust of him,’ adding that, if Christians resist, ‘they forfeit their covenant, their lives, and their possessions.’ Elsewhere he writes, ‘Wherever Muslims live and have mosques, it is impermissible for any sign of infidelity to be present, churches or otherwise.’

Echoing the words of the jurists that the church is ‘worse than bars and brothels’ and ‘houses of torment and fire,’ in August 2009, Dar al-Ifta, an Al Azhar affiliate, issued a fatwa likening the building of a church to
