Alan note: NOT a single Arab country has accepted Palestinians as citizens, offered them a nationality OR even a passport. Singling out Lebanon is pure blarney propaganda by Al Qaeda and Syria.
May 25, 2007: Video from the Media Council of Al Qaeda in the Levant
A video statement from Al Qaeda of the Levant entitled “The CrusaderWarsare Back” was released Friday on the internet.
The media council of Al-Qaeda organization in the Levant presents
“The crusader wars are back”
The video shows a masked man wearing a red headdress (Kufieh) and anexplosive belt. The font addresses him as “The military official ofAl-Qaedaorganization in the Levant”
The video in Arabic can be downloaded/viewed here. A translation summary follows below:
http://www.lauramansfield.com/byan1.wmv
Those who follow what our people are encountering in the camps inLebanonand from a long period of time, their hearts will burst with pain,sadnessand heartbreak .. From the first days, they were placed in a ...big prison . They encountered campaigns of neglect . After they were the intellectuals of the Arab world, they became the lowest ... One of the strangest things is that the Palestinians have no right for ownership; they cannot even own a cemetery for their dead.
Alan note: to prevent them having ANY claim at all inside any Arab nation. Nobody wants them because wherever they have gone - Arafart was asylumed in SEVEN countries - and tried to take down the government in each one till they threw him and his Palestinians out - or relegated them to the camps.
There is NO such thing as a Palestinian nation. The current "palestinians" are simply Arabs from all over, who have tried to revise history and claim descendency from the Philistine tribes. Only problem is : those tribes went EXTINCT some 3,000 years ago and left nobody behind to be palestinians, Philistinians or anything else!
Palestinian websites are VERY silent on their roots and mostly focus on posting information from the past 30-years as they are a MYTH.
(Summary) He talks about the major demographic changes in Lebanon ifthePalestinians are accepted in the Lebanese society because they areSunnis.This is why vehement war was waged against them. He talks how theShiiteAmal & the crusaders targeted them before. They took advantage of theapparent Sunni weakness in front of Shiite crusader supremacy, economicandmilitary. )
They returned again, a new Crusader march under the false pretext offighting terror. And they mean the movement of Fath Al-Islam. And thebeginning was from the city of the scholars and the Mujahedeen,Tripoli, theLevant where Nahr Al-Bared camp is. And the fiery crusader statementsstarted flowing on the television screens without any shame.
From the treacherous agent of the Jews, the leader of the LebaneseForcesand from the ally of the magus, the spiteful crusader and the greedy toruleLebanon, Michel Aoun, all of them inciting the annihilation of the NahrAl-Bared camp, and this was already accomplished for them. Hundreds ofhouses were demolished over the heads of their owners under a brutalnonesuch shelling and with all kinds of weapons that were never usednoteven once against the Jews.
We send a message to the head of Christianity in Lebanon, the cunning Maronite Sfeir (Patriarch), telling him, keep your dogs off our peopleandshut off the fires of your canons or there is no excuse for those who are warned. There will not be a safe haven for any crusader in Lebanon. And just like you strike, you will be struck. Our children and women are no less sanctified than your children and women. If you are not done, we will extract your hearts with booby-trapped devices and we will surround your places with bombs and we will target all the kinds of your business startingwith tourism and ending with anything else from the means of your rotten livelihoods. Since you already declared it a new Crusader war so I saywelcome to the fight. Don’t be fooled by the support of the apostateArabsor the fact that we didn’t pay attention to you in the past.
We are warning you and for the last time, and there will be nothingafterthat but seas of blood. What we want is that you order the LebaneseChristian head of the army to withdraw his men from allover thePalestiniancamps in general and the Nahr Al-Bared camp in particular, stop itsshellingand remove all the control checkpoints that are placed around it so gobackto your sanity because you O people of the Cross are in the midst of aSunnicircle that will drown you if you stayed on this course and didn’tacceptour advice.
And to our people in the camps in general, and Nahr Al-Bared inparticularwe tell you, by God we will not let you down and you will see from thepeople of the Sunnis in general and in Lebanon and Tripoli in particular what will please your eyes. God is great and glory is to Islam.
Alan note: "Reverse Crusade" in action, which is what the West is facing but refusing to acknowledge. This denial of the most fanatical tenets of Islam, now spreadiing like flesh eating bacteria in Europe and the USA and eating us up, may prove to be the enemy's strongest weapon. In addition to the mindless liberal press and media and liberal political parties like the Democrats in the USA giving them cover and obstructing action against what could likely kill us all.
(Signed) The military official of Al-Qaeda organization in the Levant

EFFECT OF 20 MEGATON NUCLEAR BOMB
What Would Happen if a 20 Megaton Nuclear Explosion on a City of 3 Million?
Ground Zero
Within 1/100th of a second, a fireball would form in every direction from ground zero enveloping downtown and reaching out for two miles.
Temperatures would rise to 20 million degrees Fahrenheit, and everything — buildings, trees, cars, and people - would he vaporized.
2 to 4 Miles from Ground ZeroThe blast would produce pressures of 25 pounds per square inch and winds in excess of 650 miles per hour. These titanic forces would rip buildings apart and level everything, including reinforced concrete and steel structures. Even deep underground bomb shelters would be crushed.
4 to 10 Miles from Ground ZeroThe heat would vaporize automobile sheet metal. Glass would melt. At this distance, the blast wave would create pressures of 7 to 10 pounds per square inch and winds of 200 miles per hour. Masonry and wood frames would be leveled.
16 Miles from Ground ZeroThe heat would ignite all easily flammable materials -houses, paper, cloth, leaves, gasoline, heating fuel - starting hundreds of thousands of fires.
Fanned by blast winds still in excess of 100 miles per hour, these fires would merge into a giant firestorm more than 30 miles across and covering 800 square miles. Everything within this entire area would be consumed by flames. Temperatures would rise to 1400° F. The death rate would approach 10070!
Beyond 16 Miles
The blast would still produce pressures of two pounds per square inch, enough to shatter glass windows and turn each of them into hundreds of lethal missiles flying outward from the center at 100 miles per hour.
At 29 miles, the heat would be so intense that all exposed skin, not protected by clothing, would suffer third degree burns. Even as far as 40 miles from ground zero anyone who turned to gaze at the sudden flash of light would be blinded by burns on the retina and at the back of their eyes.
Within minutes after the bomb exploded 1,000,000 would die. Among the 1,800,000 survivors, more than 1,100,000 would be fatally injured.
Another 500,000 would have major medical injuries from which they might recover if they received adequate medical care.
Less than 200,000 people would remain without injuries - with very few doctors and with only limited medical facilities.

INDOCTRINATION BY PRO-ISLAM SCHOOLS
Khalil Gibran Jihad School - Indoctrination Not Education
By William A. Mayer and Beila Rabinowitz
May 21, 2007 - San Francisco, CA - PipeLineNews.org
- In a recent interview with the Brooklyn Paper Dhabah Almontaser, principal designate of the proposed Khalil Gibran International Academy, stated:
"What will be different [is that] we will be able to infuse historical information into math and science and literature...With any foreign language you engage in, you need to learn the history, culture and customs of the people in order to navigate the language effectively and not offend anyone."
In response to a question of how "historical information" will be infused into "math...science and literature" she said:
"In math, as you know, algebra originated from the Arab world. So, we'll look at the historic background of algebra."
This is indicative of the revisionist pro-Arabist perspective that Khalil Gibran will display under Almontaser's leadership. It will be politicized education reinforced by the coterie of Islamist groups who are affiliated with the school and who will seek similar influence on KGIA's educational methodology.
Almontaser's publicly expressed intent to operate from a culturally biased viewpoint cogently outlines what is wrong with this concept and her assertion that algebra is a creation of Arabic culture is at best flawed.
If there was a "father" of algebra is was Diophantus of Alexandria, a Greek who was born around 200 and died nearly 85 years later. The discipline was influenced by others who were working in this field including Indian mathematicians who developed the idea of zero - it is important to note that Arab supremacists have also attempted to claim ownership of this important concept.
While there can be no doubt that Babylonian [present day Iraq] mathematicians were also working in this area and made contributions, to make the broad claim that "algebra originated from the Arab world" looms as the type of political mindset that will be on full display when and if Khalil Gibran becomes a reality.
This brand of cultural revisionism is reminiscent of the bad old day in the Soviet Union, where all important inventions and contributions to mankind were ascribed and attributed to Marxists and or Soviets.
In the present context, it demonstrates just how ideologically driven the seemingly innocuous teaching of a language/culture will become once put into practice, given the players associated with this project.
Because of Mayor Bloomberg’s heavy-handed presence in this matter [assigning Deputy Mayor Dennis Walcott the job of enforcer] and with DOE's attempts to steamroll Boerum Hill's parents into submission, the public has become rightly skeptical over statements coming out of “official" sources.
There is a lockdown mentality that defines the DOE's attitude at this point with spokesperson Meyers having failed to answer numerous telephone and email requests for clarifications regarding Khalil Gibran from these writers.
New York’s DOE has even taken the unprecedented step of gagging its own administrators, instructing them to make no public comments on KGIA. The parent of a seventh grader at the Boerum Hill School stated:
“No one wants the Gibran Academy here, and yet the Department of Education seems intent on shoving it down our throats regardless of community reaction. Just today, the DOE made it clear that they considered the issue non-negotiable. I have also learned from [name deleted] that the Department of Education has put a gag order on our school administrators, who have been instructed not to talk with the press."
[source http://www.brooklynpaper.com/stories/30/20/30_20schoolletters.html]
To assert that the issue of teaching Arabic is not germane to this matter, please consider that this subject is of such high importance that KGIA's school day will be extended, with Arabic being taught for two hours a day, between 3 and 5 PM, making it by far the most intensive aspect of Khalil Gibran's curriculum.
As Almontaser states:
"we're very serious about them developing this language."
She goes on to claim that, "Arabic is one of the most sought-after languages in the entire world."
True enough, the FBI, CIA and other guardians of national security are constantly looking for Arabic language speakers.
Alan note: as are all Islamists - since the Koran has to be read in Arabic to be "valid" according to Islam. As Arabic is the only language accepted by Allah, it is therefore an obligation for everyone in the world to speak it and convert to Islam and join the global Moslem caliphate the Jihadists strive to achieve.
Are we to assume that KGIA's curriculum was devised to provide Arab language skills to future interrogators at Guantanamo, undercover agents prowling suspect mosques or NSA employees parsing al-Qaeda transmissions?
Given Almontaser's antipathy towards the war on terror and the Iraq conflict, for her to suggest that KGIA is justifiable in light of an email that she claims to have received from an American soldier in Iraq stating that there were not enough Arabic speakers in the service -
"[That only] two percent of soldiers sent there [speak Arabic] says a thousand words of how important this school is" - is cravenly deceptive, indicative of how far
Almontaser will bend reality to accomplish her goal.
Looking at the level of discussion surrounding the question of this school, especially that coming out of DOE, the Mayor’s office and the teacher’s unions, the defects of the multicultural/diversity at any price mindset become apparent.
This philosophy hamstrings intellectual exchange in such matters because it considers asking questions as to cultural predilections and relevant historical fact outside the bounds of propriety, viewing them as inherently racist.
This is the reason why discussions within Boerum Hill's PTA have been circumscribed within the ridiculous confines of space utilization instead of broaching the verboten subtext, which is the link between Islamic fundamentalism, Arab history and terrorism.
In New York, the city that suffered the brunt of the September 11 attacks, it's now the official party line that the obvious must be ignored.
Fact Dhabah Almontaser denies that Arabs and Muslims were involved in 9/11.
Fact Dhabah Almontaser has decried the use of Arab informants whose efforts have prevented terrorist attacks.
Fact a long list of people and organizations which are pushing KGIA harbor similar sentiments.
It's plainly wrong to equate public schools which feature Korean, Haitian Creole or Mandarin language instruction with one teaching Arabic and espousing Arabic cultural supremacy, such as the proposition that the mathematical discipline of algebra originated within the Arab world.
Furthermore it's foolish to ignore the fact that Arabic is the language of the Quran, and that fluency in Arabic is looked upon by those who engage in da'wa as a prerequisite to greater understanding of Islam and as such is highly supported by Islamists worldwide.
Finally there is the realization that there are as Almontaser states, "millions of dollars in federal funding that are available to education systems to teach Arabic."
At this late stage the first rule of political behavior - "follow the money" - becomes operative.
New York's educational system is crumbling under the weight of fuzzy, diversity based education, test scores indicate little progress in bridging the gap shown between domestic students and those outside the United States.
This should not come as a surprise.
Randi Weingarten - a new and powerful supporter of KGIA - the president of the New York City teacher's union, was recently in the words of the New York Times, "left flummoxed by a question about fractions on a radio show."
Weingarten was confronted by the pop-quiz while appearing on a WNYC radio talk show during which host, Mike Pesca asked her, "What is 1/3 plus 1/4?" The teacher's union president was unable to answer the question and stated that she would have to write the problem [sixth grade level] down on paper before she could answer it.
Another guest on the program quickly and correctly provided the answer, 7/12ths.
Perhaps no shame should accrue to this lapse since most of Weingarten's charges - New York City’s school children - display the same level of ignorance.
During testimony given at the City Council Education Committee Meeting, November 5th, 2003, by professor Stanley Ocken, Dept. Mathematics, City College of City University of New York he stated:
"New York City K-12 mathematics education is in chaos…New York City high schools are graduating an appallingly large percentage of students who cannot correctly perform the most basic operations with fractions, decimals, and percents."
So are we to assume that now that Almontaser's political philosophy is laid bare and that parents are speaking out over having KGIA thrust "down their throats" that the question must resolve instead on the potential influx of millions from the federal government?
Of what benefit to the general public school population will showering a madrassah with federal largesse? Will these funds make students of KGIA "more equal" than their peers?
An item in the New York Times' May 15 coverage of the Khalil Gibran controversy has provoked little comment, "But if it does open...the Khalil Gibran school may struggle to fill its available seats. As of yesterday, no students were enrolled. And with only weeks left before classes are dismissed for the summer, most fifth graders already knew which school they would attend in the fall."
Can this be?
Apparently so, since despite a massive effort by New York’s Dept of Education - which sent letters to the parents of the city's fifth graders soliciting their participation in Khalil Gibran's scheduled September sixth grade opening - there have been no takers so far and the current school year will end in a matter of days.
What New York City's parents are faced with here, outside of the already voluminously annotated structural/conceptual/security issues associated with the proposed KGIA is that this may very well be the case of a demand without a genuine mandate.
The forces which have coagulated around this issue are a Whitman's Sampler of the type of players who are hastening the West’s ethical crisis:
1. Islamists of the ilk of Dhabah Almontaser and the AAFSC.
2. Checkbook multiculturalists who promote this philosophy using the money of others.
3. Leftist/progressives who have found common cause with the Islamists.
4. Members of the educational elite and the leaders of the teacher's unions.
5. Mayor Bloomberg and similarly motivated politicians.
6. Post modernist, clerics and members of their congregations who no longer believe in anything outside of a vague sense moral relativism.
It is these groups and their adherents that are telling Boerum Hill’s parents to ignore the obvious; that a school steeped in Arabic culture and run by fundies will inevitably become a madrassah because of the inseparable relationship between Islam, Arab culture and the language in which the Quran is written.
Multiculturalism is the DOE's hole card because it's a way of putting off limits the discussion of the most important aspect of this controversy, to do otherwise is to face accusations of bigotry, racism and Islamophobia.
It is the DOE's intent to render mute those who oppose this project.
Dhabah Almontaser and her allies have created a cottage industry out of the wreckage of 9/11, pushing the myth that the events of that day had nothing to do with Islam and Arab culture and that Muslims are the party most aggrieved by those terrorist attacks.
On its face this is a preposterous assertion, but an examination of Almontaser's motivation is now officially verboten.
If this is the kind of world you wish to bring your children up in, then by all means support KGIA.
If on the other hand you feel you can tolerate being seen
by some as a bigot you simply can't ignore what is going on here, your eyes are not lying.
The post modernists are clever adversaries; they attack both the foundation of this society as well as its ability to defend itself.
Philosophy and motivation aside, there are other important aspects of KGIA that have yet to be dealt with, they center on procedures that will be established if the school becomes a reality.
1. How will the prayer "requirements" of KGIA's Muslim students be accommodated? Will there be praying at KGIA?
2. Will Halal food be served in the cafeteria?
3. What will be the reaction to someone eating a pork or ham sandwich, if they are in close proximity to one of KGIA's students?
4. Will KGIA's students be part of the general school population or sequestered and separate?
5. Regardless of whether prayer will be permitted formally at KGIA or informally, how will wudu, or the process of ritual washing - which must precede prayer - take place? Will this be done in the public lavatories?
6. Will there need to be concessions made in other Boerum Hill's programs such as sports, to accommodate the "modesty" requirements of this influx of Muslim students?
7. What will be the legal response by groups such as the Council on Islamic Relations [CAIR] to the normal kind of taunting behavior that school kids often engage in? For example, what will happen if someone says "Osama" within earshot of a KGIA student?
8. Are the parents of Boerum Hill School prepared to defend the institution against such lawsuits and deal with the resultant bad publicity?
Some examples of the kind of trouble these activist
organizations will constantly foment:
1. On 11 April, 2007 responding to a dare, a Lewiston Middle School [Maine] student placed ham on a cafeteria table where Muslim Somali students were eating. Muslims consider pork to be unclean and the "offending student" was suspended from school. A report was filed by the school's resource officer Bill Brochu which "was sent to the Attorney General's Office for review for possible prosecution...because the ham incident was perceived as a hate/bias crime."
2. During April of 2004 a 12-year-old Muslim girl said four boys accosted her in the hallways of Congress Middle School in Boynton Beach, Fla., calling her "Osama."
Though it is doubtful that the incident ever happened - the girl is unable to identify her "assailants" - the incident was referred to law enforcement nonetheless for potential prosecution as a "hate" crime.
The Council on American Islamic Relations [CAIR, the Saudi funded Hamas front group] alerted the media, insisting that the students needed to undergo "sensitivity" training, aka da'wa.

If Khalil Gibran is eventually established, not only will it quickly become a madrassah, it will loom as a constant source of controversy, legal action and turmoil. The initial concession to the Islamists - an act of dhimmitude - who are behind this project will serve to embolden them. KGIA will then be used as a point around which to organize even more blatant incursions of Sharia into the mainstream society.
KGIA has everything to do with Sharia and indoctrination. It's not about education.
This institution will serve as a fortified fundamentalist outpost buoyed by federal and philanthropic funding such as the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation. Given its Arabist organizing principles and externally generated funding sources KGIA will as time goes by be less and less under the control of the New York Department of Education, eventually drifting into a state a semi-autonomy.
Establishing KGIA would set a dangerous precedent, it stands in opposition to the most basic principles of public education. It will constitute a divisive force that must not be allowed to go forward.

4. Members of the educational elite and the leaders of the teacher's unions.
5. Mayor Bloomberg and similarly motivated politicians.
6. Post modernist, clerics and members of their congregations who no longer believe in anything outside of a vague sense moral relativism.
It is these groups and their adherents that are telling Boerum Hill’s parents to ignore the obvious; that a school steeped in Arabic culture and run by fundies will inevitably become a madrassah because of the inseparable relationship between Islam, Arab culture and the language in which the Quran is written.
Multiculturalism is the DOE's hole card because it's a way of putting off limits the discussion of the most important aspect of this controversy, to do otherwise is to face accusations of bigotry, racism and Islamophobia.
It is the DOE's intent to render mute those who oppose this project.
Dhabah Almontaser and her allies have created a cottage industry out of the wreckage of 9/11, pushing the myth that the events of that day had nothing to do with Islam and Arab culture and that Muslims are the party most aggrieved by those terrorist attacks.
On its face this is a preposterous assertion, but an examination of Almontaser's motivation is now officially verboten.
If this is the kind of world you wish to bring your children up in, then by all means support KGIA.
If on the other hand you feel you can tolerate being seen
by some as a bigot you simply can't ignore what is going on here, your eyes are not lying.
The post modernists are clever adversaries; they attack both the foundation of this society as well as its ability to defend itself.
Philosophy and motivation aside, there are other important aspects of KGIA that have yet to be dealt with, they center on procedures that will be established if the school becomes a reality.
1. How will the prayer "requirements" of KGIA's Muslim students be accommodated? Will there be praying at KGIA?
2. Will Halal food be served in the cafeteria?
3. What will be the reaction to someone eating a pork or ham sandwich, if they are in close proximity to one of KGIA's students?
4. Will KGIA's students be part of the general school population or sequestered and separate?
5. Regardless of whether prayer will be permitted formally at KGIA or informally, how will wudu, or the process of ritual washing - which must precede prayer - take place? Will this be done in the public lavatories?
6. Will there need to be concessions made in other Boerum Hill's programs such as sports, to accommodate the "modesty" requirements of this influx of Muslim students?
7. What will be the legal response by groups such as the Council on Islamic Relations [CAIR] to the normal kind of taunting behavior that school kids often engage in? For example, what will happen if someone says "Osama" within earshot of a KGIA student?
8. Are the parents of Boerum Hill School prepared to defend the institution against such lawsuits and deal with the resultant bad publicity?
Some examples of the kind of trouble these activist
organizations will constantly foment:
1. On 11 April, 2007 responding to a dare, a Lewiston Middle School [Maine] student placed ham on a cafeteria table where Muslim Somali students were eating. Muslims consider pork to be unclean and the "offending student" was suspended from school. A report was filed by the school's resource officer Bill Brochu which "was sent to the Attorney General's Office for review for possible prosecution...because the ham incident was perceived as a hate/bias crime."
2. During April of 2004 a 12-year-old Muslim girl said four boys accosted her in the hallways of Congress Middle School in Boynton Beach, Fla., calling her "Osama."
Though it is doubtful that the incident ever happened - the girl is unable to identify her "assailants" - the incident was referred to law enforcement nonetheless for potential prosecution as a "hate" crime.
The Council on American Islamic Relations [CAIR, the Saudi funded Hamas front group] alerted the media, insisting that the students needed to undergo "sensitivity" training, aka da'wa.

If Khalil Gibran is eventually established, not only will it quickly become a madrassah, it will loom as a constant source of controversy, legal action and turmoil. The initial concession to the Islamists - an act of dhimmitude - who are behind this project will serve to embolden them. KGIA will then be used as a point around which to organize even more blatant incursions of Sharia into the mainstream society.
KGIA has everything to do with Sharia and indoctrination. It's not about education.
This institution will serve as a fortified fundamentalist outpost buoyed by federal and philanthropic funding such as the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation. Given its Arabist organizing principles and externally generated funding sources KGIA will as time goes by be less and less under the control of the New York Department of Education, eventually drifting into a state a semi-autonomy.
Establishing KGIA would set a dangerous precedent, it stands in opposition to the most basic principles of public education. It will constitute a divisive force that must not be allowed to go forward.

"FREEDOM" CAN ONLY EXIST UNDER ISLAM'S SHARIA
http://globalpolitician.com/articledes.asp?ID=2793&cid=11&sid=109
Islamist Dictionary for Infidels
Wolfgang Bruno -
Andrew G. Bostom, author of “The Legacy of Jihad,” notes that President Bush has repeatedly stressed the paramount importance of promoting freedom in the Middle East.
However, Bostom points out that Hurriyya, the Arabic for “freedom,” and the uniquely Western concept of freedom “are completely at odds.” Hurriyya - “freedom” - is – as Ibn Arabi (d.
1240) the lionized “Greatest Sufi Master,” expressed it -“perfect slavery” under the will of Allah. Bernard Lewis, in his analysis of hurriyya for the venerated Encyclopedia of Islam, maintains that:
“…there is still no idea that the subjects have any right to share in the formation or conduct of government—to political freedom, or citizenship, in the sense which underlies the development of political thought in the West.”
Meanwhile, the German- Syrian scholar Bassam Tibi, a Muslim reformist, is warning the West against wishful thinking in its “dialogue” with Muslims. “The dialogue is not proceeding well because of the two-facedness of most Muslim interlocutors on the one hand and the gullibility of well-meaning Western idealists on the other.”
Muslims frequently claim, to obscure the realities of the war against non-Muslims, that “Islam means peace.” The word “Islam” does indeed come from the same three-letter Arabic root (s-l-m) as the word “salaam,” peace.
“Islam,” however, means “submission,” not peace. “Peace” in Islam equals submission to the will of Allah through his divine and eternal law, sharia. The absence of sharia is the absence of peace. Bassam Tibi explains:
“First, both sides should acknowledge candidly that although they might use identical terms these mean different things to each of them. The word ‘peace,’ for example, implies to a Muslim the extension of the Dar al-Islam – or ‘House of Islam’ – to the entire world,” explained Tibi.
“This is completely different from the Enlightenment concept of eternal peace that dominates Western thought, a concept developed by Immanuel Kant,” an 18th-century philosopher.
“Similarly, when Muslims and the Western heirs of the Enlightenment speak of tolerance they have different things in mind. In Islamic terminology, this term implies abiding non-Islamic monotheists, such as Christians, Jews and Zoroastrians, as second-class believers.
They are ‘dhimmi,’ a protected but politically immature minority.” According to Tibi, the quest of converting the entire world to Islam is an immutable fixture of the Muslim worldview. Only if this task is accomplished, if the world has become a “Dar al-Islam,” will it also be a “Dar a-Salam,” or a house of peace.”
This strategy of deceiving non-Muslims by twisting words to conceal the real, Islamic agenda while Muslims are not yet strong enough to impose their will is sanctioned by Islamic texts.
IslamOnline quotes Sheikh `Atiyyah Saqr, former head of Al-Azhar Fatwa Committee, in stating:
“Lying is forbidden unless it is for necessity. In that case, the principle “necessity makes the unlawful permissible” applies. (…)
Some of these acceptable lies is what we call connotation, a word
carrying a double meaning. The Muslim may use the positive not the negative interpretation of the word.”
Robert Spencer, who gives examples of this in his book “Onward Muslim Soldiers,” confirms this:
“Religious deception of unbelievers is indeed taught by the Qur’an itself: “Let not the believers take for friends or helpers unbelievers rather than believers. If any do that, in nothing will there be help from Allah; except by way of precaution, that ye may guard yourselves from them” (Qur’an 3:28).
In other words, don’t make friends with unbelievers except to “guard yourselves from them”: pretend to be their friends so that you can strengthen yourself against them. The distinguished Qur’anic commentator Ibn Kathir explains that this verse teaches that if “believers who in some areas or times fear for their safety from the disbelievers,” they may “show friendship to the disbelievers outwardly, but never inwardly.”
This strategy seems to be working quite well with the dhimmis of the European Union, who are now promoting an official dictionary to use when writing about matters related to Islam.
“Jihad means something for you and me, it means something else for a Muslim. Jihad is a perfectly positive concept of trying to fight evil within yourself,” said an EU official. Really? Writing over six decades ago, Arthur Jeffery belittled as “the sheerest sophistry” such attempts to rewrite the bloody reality of Jihad:
“.. .the early Arabic sources quite plainly and frankly describe the expeditions as military expeditions, and it would never have occurred to anyone at that day to interpret them as anything else…”
Armed Jihad is not just a thing of the past. Observers of school textbooks in Egypt of the present age note that “[the] concept of jihad is interpreted in the Egyptian school curriculum almost exclusively as a military endeavour.”
Majid Khadduri, a Muslim scholar, whose 1955 treatise on Jihad remains one of the most respected analyses of this institution, summarized these consensus views, as follows:
“The Prophet Muhammad is reported to have declared ‘some of my people will continue to fight victoriously for the sake of the truth until the last one of them will combat the anti-Christ.’ Until that moment is reached the jihad, in one form or another will remain as a permanent obligation upon the entire Muslim community. It follows that the existence of a dar al-harb is ultimately outlawed under the Islamic jural order; that the dar al-Islam is permanently under jihad obligation until the dar al-harb is reduced to non-existence (…)
The universality of Islam, in its all embracing creed, is imposed on the believers as a continuous process of warfare, psychological and political if not strictly military.”
An observer of Egyptian schoolbooks notes that: “Peace in general is exalted in the Egyptian school textbooks, both as a human and as an Islamic value. It is declared to be Egypt’s goal.
But when examined more deeply, it turns out to be a conditional value, both on the political and religious levels. On the political level peace is made conditional upon reciprocity on the part of the enemy, which is interpreted as acceptance of the Arabs’ demands.
On the religious level, peace is conditional upon the interests of the Muslims at any given moment. If the Muslims are stronger than the enemy, peace may be legally rejected. The meaning of peace in itself – as presented to the Egyptian students – does not exclude war, and this reaches the point, in several cases, of advocating war in the name of peace.”
In 2006, Iraqi religious scholar Ayatollah Ahmad Husseini Al-Baghdadi explained that Jihad, from the perspective of Islamic jurisprudence, is of two types: Not just defensive warfare if somebody attacks Muslims in their own lands, but also “Jihad initiated by the Muslims, which means raiding the world in order to spread the word that “there is no God but Allah, and Muhammad is the Prophet of Allah” throughout the world.”
In other words: The ultimate objective of Jihad isn’t merely to preserve Islam at home, but to spread it throughout the world when Muslims are in a position to do so: “If the objective and subjective circumstances materialize, and there are soldiers, weapons, and money - even if this means using biological, chemical, and bacterial weapons - we will conquer the world, so that “There is no God but Allah, and Muhammad is the Prophet of Allah” will be triumphant over the domes of Moscow, Washington, and Paris.”
Contemporary Muslim theologians such as Yusuf Al-Qaradawi, “spiritual” leader of the Muslim Brotherhood and popular Al-Jazeera television personality, hailed as a moderate voice by some in the West, sanction bombings against all Israeli citizens using Jihad criteria completely in line with those by classical jurists.
He argues that in modern war there are no civilians, as all sectors of society aid the efforts if the country is involved in confrontation with Muslims in some way. Which also means that all non-Muslim citizens become legitimate targets of Islamic attacks. Qaradawi says:
“It has been determined by Islamic law that the blood and property of people of Dar Al-Harb [the Domain of Disbelief where the battle for the domination of Islam should be waged] is not protected…in modern war, all of society, with all its classes and ethnic groups, is mobilized to participate in the war, to aid its continuation, and to provide it with the material and human fuel required for it to assure the victory of the state fighting its enemies.”
Needless to say, this line of thinking could easily be used by Islamic groups to justify terror attacks such as the ones on the World Trade Center in New York City. In their eyes, they didn’t kill innocent civilians since there are no innocent civilians in the USA.
This should be kept in mind when listening to “moderate” Muslim leaders smiling and declaring that Islam is strongly against killing innocent civilians. Indeed, there are some Muslims who would argue that ALL non-Muslims, at least those who have on some point heard the Islamic message and still failed to convert, are guilty of rebellion against Allah and thus fair game.
An undercover investigation caught leaders of a radical Islamic group in the UK inciting young British Muslims to become terrorists. One of their leaders declared it was imperative for Muslims to “instil terror into the hearts of the kuffar” and added: “I am a terrorist. As a Muslim of course I am a terrorist.”
In public interviews the same man had condemned the killing of all innocent civilians. Later when he addressed his own followers he explained that he had in fact been referring only to Muslims as only they were innocent: “Yes I condemn killing any innocent people, but not any kuffar (infidels).”
A group of American Islamic leaders announced a fatwa, or Islamic religious ruling, against “terrorism and extremism.” An organization called the Fiqh Council of North America (FCNA) issued the fatwa, and the Council on American - Islamic Relations (CAIR) organized the press conference, stating that several major U.S. Muslim groups endorsed the fatwa. However, according to terrorism expert Steven Emerson, the fatwa was bogus:
“It does not renounce nor even acknowledge the existence of an Islamic jihadist culture that has permeated mosques and young Muslims around the world. It does not renounce Jihad let alone admit that it has been used to justify Islamic terrorist acts.”
After the terror bombings in London in July 2005, perpetrated by Muslims, the Muslim Public Affairs Council (MPAC) declared that “Islam considers the use of terrorism to be unacceptable for any purpose,” There’s only one problem with this: It’s not true.
Muhammad himself said that “I have been made victorious with terror (cast in the hearts of the enemy)” (Bukhari, 4, 52, 220). The Koran, too, repeatedly calls for the use of this tactics, such as in verse 8, 12: “When your Lord revealed to the angels: I am with you, therefore make firm those who believe. I will cast terror into the hearts of those who disbelieve. Therefore strike off their heads and strike off every fingertip of them.”
Andrew Bostom, who has studied the history of Jihad on three continents for more than one thousand years, says that “terrorism was often a prelude to conquest.” Terrorism is psychological warfare, to make the non-Muslims scared of Muslims, soften their resistance and prevent them from mounting a real defense of their lands when Muslims later wage a full-scale war to colonize and subdue them.
Physical attacks such as the terror bombings in Madrid or London, but also the great frenzy whipped up over the rather innocent cartoons of Muhammad in Danish newspaper Jyllands-Posten, should all be viewed in this light.
According to scholar Bassam Tibi, “at its core, Islam is a religious mission to all humanity. Muslims are religiously obliged to disseminate the Islamic faith throughout the world. “We have sent you forth to all mankind” (Q. 34:28).
If non-Muslims submit to conversion or subjugation, this call (da’wa) can be pursued peacefully. If they do not, Muslims are obliged to wage war against them. In Islam, peace requires that non-Muslims submit to the call of Islam, either by converting or by accepting the status of a religious minority (dhimmi) and paying the imposed poll tax, jizya.”
Interviewed by the Wall Street Journal, Hassam El-Masalmeh from Palestinian Jihadist organization Hamas confirmed the organization’s plan to re-institute the humiliating jizya, a blood ransom poll-tax (based on Qur’an sura 9, verse 29), levied traditionally on non-Muslims vanquished by Jihad. Arabic lexicographer E.W. Lane, based on a careful analysis of the term, states that: “The tax that is taken from the free non-Muslim subjects of a Muslim government whereby they ratify the compact that assures them protection, as though it were compensation for not being slain.”
This subjugation of non-Muslims to religious apartheid and second class citizenship in their own country is part and parcel of sharia, Islamic law. And this option is only available to Christians and Jews, not Hindus, Buddhists or others, who have only the choice between embracing Islam or death.
Muslims feel ”oppressed” when they can’t fully practice their religious laws in the West. But since these laws ultimately require the subjugation of non-Muslims, “freedom of religion” for Muslims essentially means the freedom to make others unfree.
According to Tibi, “world peace, the final stage of the da’wa (call to embrace Islam), is reached only with the conversion or submission of all mankind to Islam…Muslims believe that expansion through war is not aggression but a fulfillment of the Qur’anic command to spread Islam as a way to peace.
The resort to force to disseminate Islam is not war (harb), a word that is used only to describe the use of force by non-Muslims. Islamic wars are not hurub (the plural of harb) but rather futuhat, acts of “opening” the world to Islam and expressing Islamic jihad.
Relations between dar al-Islam, the home of peace, and dar al-harb, the world of unbelievers, nevertheless take place in a state of war, according to the Qur’an and to the authoritative commentaries of Islamic jurists.
Unbelievers who stand in the way, creating obstacles for the da’wa, are blamed for this state of war, for the da’wa can be pursued peacefully if others submit to it. In other words, those who resist Islam cause wars and are responsible for them.
Only when Muslim power is weak is “temporary truce” (hudna) allowed (Islamic jurists differ on the definition of “temporary”).”
These words are mirrored in the ideas of many Islamic groups today. “[President] Bush says that we want to enslave people and oppress their freedom of speech,” says Abu Abdullah, a senior member of Hizb ut-Tahrir, the Party of Liberation. “But we want to free all people from being slaves of men and make them slaves of Allah.”
“Islam obliges Muslims to possess power so that they can intimidate - I would not say terrorize - the enemies of Islam,” says Abu Mohammed, a Hizb ut-Tahrir activist. “And if after all discussions and negotiations they still refuse, then the last resort will be a jihad to spread the spirit of Islam and the rule of Islam,” he says, smiling.
“This is done in the interests of all people to get them out of
darkness and into light.” (Alan: the Jesuits were pussycats compared to these observers of "religion". Then again they were around several hundred years ago and not today like these Islamists, who want to coerce you to believe what they believe. Any resemblance to burning witches at Salem, come to mind?)
A schoolbook, in use in public schools in Saudi Arabia as late as 2006, stated that “Jihad in the path of God — which consists of battling against unbelief, oppression, injustice, and those who perpetrate it — is the summit of Islam.
This religion arose through jihad and through jihad was its banner raised high. It is one of the noblest acts, which brings one closer to God.”
Notice how the terms “unbelief, oppression and injustice” are used synonymously. Islamic apologists in the West keep repeating the mantra that “Jihad isn’t a fight against non-Muslims, but a struggle against tyranny and injustice.”
Again, the problem is that seen with Islamic eyes, there isn’t too much of a difference between these various terms. It’s “oppression” when Muslim immigrants in the West must live by the same, secular laws as the native infidels, not sharia, and “injustice” in the end refers to pretty much all societies not subjugated to obedience to the will of Allah.
“Injustice” can thus be used to describe all non-Islamic systems, for instance Western democracy.
The Saudi deputy minister of religious endowments, Abd Al-Rahman Al-Matroudi, stated in an interview on Saudi TV in July 2005 that “the definition of terrorism that concerns us is that it is any act or statement that contradicts the Koran or Sunna, whether in thought or action.”
He also said that Muslims should “impose their culture,” and that peaceful ways should be pursued only when they were not strong enough to do this: “If you are strong enough to defend yourself, you must do so...
Host: and impose your culture...
Al-Matroudi: Yes, and impose your culture.
Host: Great. Al-Matroudi: And if you have no such strength, you should do whatever you can to get what you want in peaceful and diplomatic ways.”
Aggression is something only infidels do. The Crusades were a brief and isolated episode in European history, whereas Jihad has been a constant feature of the Islamic world for more than 1300 years, fixed in the Koran and Islamic core texts.
Still, Muslims want Europeans to apologize for the Crusades, although they were, as Bernard Lewis and other have pointed out, a belated, defensive reaction against centuries of Islamic aggression.
This is because, as Tibi has demonstrated, it is not seen as aggression or war when Muslims attack non-Muslims.
On the contrary, it is seen as aggression when non-Muslims resist the Islamization of their lands and thus “place obstacles in the way” of the spread of Islam.
They are defying the will of Allah. Since subjugation to Islam alone can bring peace, Muslims consider themselves to be “spreading peace” when they raid, maim and kill from Europe to Central Asia.
According to Yusuf Al-Qaradawi, the Muslim community “has been exposed to horrendous invasions and aggressive attacks, one of which is the missionary invasion that aims at uprooting the Muslim community altogether. (…)
One of its goals is to entice Muslims to convert to Christianity.” He thus considers verbal, non-violent efforts to convert Muslims to other religions a form of aggression. This is also the reason why countries such as Algeria have passed laws banning the call to embrace other religions than Islam.
Qaradawi also seems to support the traditional Islamic view that those leaving Islam should be executed. The curious thing is, Muslims in infidel countries consider it an act of aggression if they don’t get to convert non-Muslims.
As I’ve stated in previous essays, Jihad is, simply put, anything undertaken to advance the spread of Islam, peaceful or not. Which means that Jihad is always present, even if there should be a temporary absence of violence because Muslims are too weak to use force.
On the other hand, “aggression” is anything undertaken by non-Muslims to obstruct the advance of Islam, non-violent or not.
Based on this information, maybe we could make a sketch of a dictionary to explain what many Muslims actually think when they use various terms Westerners and infidels understand very differently:
Peace: “Peace” in Islam equals submission to the will of Allah through his divine and eternal law, sharia, and the extension of the Dar al-Islam – or ‘House of Islam’ – to cover the entire world.
The absence of sharia is the absence of peace.
Since it is the will of Allah that Islam will rule the entire planet, entering non-Muslim lands to subjugate the population and wipe out their corrupt, infidel culture is not seen by Muslims as “waging war,” but as spreading peace.
Freedom: Hurriyya, freedom, means freeing all people from being slaves of the laws of men and making them live in perfect slavery, in submission to the will of Allah and his laws.
Religious freedom: Subjugation of non-Muslims to religious apartheid and second class citizenship in their own country under Islamic rule. This option is only available to Christians and Jews, not Hindus, Buddhists or others, who have only the choice between embracing Islam or death.
Muslims should practice sharia. Since these laws require the subjugation of non-Muslims, “freedom of religion” for Muslims essentially means the freedom to make others unfree.
Jihad: Peaceful, inner struggle that has killed up to 80 million people in the Indian subcontinent alone, and enslaved or killed tens of millions, perhaps hundreds of millions of people on three continents for 1350 years. It can also be violent, but only for defensive purposes, such as the Muslims who defended their way from the Arabian Peninsula to the borders of China, wiping out the indigenous cultures along the way.
Aggression: When non-Muslims do anything to preserve their culture and resist the Islamization of their country. Even when this “aggression” is non-violent, such as publishing a cartoon critical of Islam, this intolerable insult to Islamic supremacy on earth can be answered with violence by Muslims.
Since a refusal to submit to sharia is a rebellion against Allah, the very existence of non-Muslim communities can be viewed as an act of aggression.

An undercover investigation caught leaders of a radical Islamic group in the UK inciting young British Muslims to become terrorists. One of their leaders declared it was imperative for Muslims to “instil terror into the hearts of the kuffar” and added: “I am a terrorist. As a Muslim of course I am a terrorist.”
In public interviews the same man had condemned the killing of all innocent civilians. Later when he addressed his own followers he explained that he had in fact been referring only to Muslims as only they were innocent: “Yes I condemn killing any innocent people, but not any kuffar (infidels).”
A group of American Islamic leaders announced a fatwa, or Islamic religious ruling, against “terrorism and extremism.” An organization called the Fiqh Council of North America (FCNA) issued the fatwa, and the Council on American - Islamic Relations (CAIR) organized the press conference, stating that several major U.S. Muslim groups endorsed the fatwa. However, according to terrorism expert Steven Emerson, the fatwa was bogus:
“It does not renounce nor even acknowledge the existence of an Islamic jihadist culture that has permeated mosques and young Muslims around the world. It does not renounce Jihad let alone admit that it has been used to justify Islamic terrorist acts.”
After the terror bombings in London in July 2005, perpetrated by Muslims, the Muslim Public Affairs Council (MPAC) declared that “Islam considers the use of terrorism to be unacceptable for any purpose,” There’s only one problem with this: It’s not true.
Muhammad himself said that “I have been made victorious with terror (cast in the hearts of the enemy)” (Bukhari, 4, 52, 220). The Koran, too, repeatedly calls for the use of this tactics, such as in verse 8, 12: “When your Lord revealed to the angels: I am with you, therefore make firm those who believe. I will cast terror into the hearts of those who disbelieve. Therefore strike off their heads and strike off every fingertip of them.”
Andrew Bostom, who has studied the history of Jihad on three continents for more than one thousand years, says that “terrorism was often a prelude to conquest.” Terrorism is psychological warfare, to make the non-Muslims scared of Muslims, soften their resistance and prevent them from mounting a real defense of their lands when Muslims later wage a full-scale war to colonize and subdue them.
Physical attacks such as the terror bombings in Madrid or London, but also the great frenzy whipped up over the rather innocent cartoons of Muhammad in Danish newspaper Jyllands-Posten, should all be viewed in this light.
According to scholar Bassam Tibi, “at its core, Islam is a religious mission to all humanity. Muslims are religiously obliged to disseminate the Islamic faith throughout the world. “We have sent you forth to all mankind” (Q. 34:28).
If non-Muslims submit to conversion or subjugation, this call (da’wa) can be pursued peacefully. If they do not, Muslims are obliged to wage war against them. In Islam, peace requires that non-Muslims submit to the call of Islam, either by converting or by accepting the status of a religious minority (dhimmi) and paying the imposed poll tax, jizya.”
Interviewed by the Wall Street Journal, Hassam El-Masalmeh from Palestinian Jihadist organization Hamas confirmed the organization’s plan to re-institute the humiliating jizya, a blood ransom poll-tax (based on Qur’an sura 9, verse 29), levied traditionally on non-Muslims vanquished by Jihad. Arabic lexicographer E.W. Lane, based on a careful analysis of the term, states that: “The tax that is taken from the free non-Muslim subjects of a Muslim government whereby they ratify the compact that assures them protection, as though it were compensation for not being slain.”
This subjugation of non-Muslims to religious apartheid and second class citizenship in their own country is part and parcel of sharia, Islamic law. And this option is only available to Christians and Jews, not Hindus, Buddhists or others, who have only the choice between embracing Islam or death.
Muslims feel ”oppressed” when they can’t fully practice their religious laws in the West. But since these laws ultimately require the subjugation of non-Muslims, “freedom of religion” for Muslims essentially means the freedom to make others unfree.
According to Tibi, “world peace, the final stage of the da’wa (call to embrace Islam), is reached only with the conversion or submission of all mankind to Islam…Muslims believe that expansion through war is not aggression but a fulfillment of the Qur’anic command to spread Islam as a way to peace.
The resort to force to disseminate Islam is not war (harb), a word that is used only to describe the use of force by non-Muslims. Islamic wars are not hurub (the plural of harb) but rather futuhat, acts of “opening” the world to Islam and expressing Islamic jihad.
Relations between dar al-Islam, the home of peace, and dar al-harb, the world of unbelievers, nevertheless take place in a state of war, according to the Qur’an and to the authoritative commentaries of Islamic jurists.
Unbelievers who stand in the way, creating obstacles for the da’wa, are blamed for this state of war, for the da’wa can be pursued peacefully if others submit to it. In other words, those who resist Islam cause wars and are responsible for them.
Only when Muslim power is weak is “temporary truce” (hudna) allowed (Islamic jurists differ on the definition of “temporary”).”
These words are mirrored in the ideas of many Islamic groups today. “[President] Bush says that we want to enslave people and oppress their freedom of speech,” says Abu Abdullah, a senior member of Hizb ut-Tahrir, the Party of Liberation. “But we want to free all people from being slaves of men and make them slaves of Allah.”
“Islam obliges Muslims to possess power so that they can intimidate - I would not say terrorize - the enemies of Islam,” says Abu Mohammed, a Hizb ut-Tahrir activist. “And if after all discussions and negotiations they still refuse, then the last resort will be a jihad to spread the spirit of Islam and the rule of Islam,” he says, smiling.
“This is done in the interests of all people to get them out of
darkness and into light.” (Alan: the Jesuits were pussycats compared to these observers of "religion". Then again they were around several hundred years ago and not today like these Islamists, who want to coerce you to believe what they believe. Any resemblance to burning witches at Salem, come to mind?)
A schoolbook, in use in public schools in Saudi Arabia as late as 2006, stated that “Jihad in the path of God — which consists of battling against unbelief, oppression, injustice, and those who perpetrate it — is the summit of Islam.
This religion arose through jihad and through jihad was its banner raised high. It is one of the noblest acts, which brings one closer to God.”
Notice how the terms “unbelief, oppression and injustice” are used synonymously. Islamic apologists in the West keep repeating the mantra that “Jihad isn’t a fight against non-Muslims, but a struggle against tyranny and injustice.”
Again, the problem is that seen with Islamic eyes, there isn’t too much of a difference between these various terms. It’s “oppression” when Muslim immigrants in the West must live by the same, secular laws as the native infidels, not sharia, and “injustice” in the end refers to pretty much all societies not subjugated to obedience to the will of Allah.
“Injustice” can thus be used to describe all non-Islamic systems, for instance Western democracy.
The Saudi deputy minister of religious endowments, Abd Al-Rahman Al-Matroudi, stated in an interview on Saudi TV in July 2005 that “the definition of terrorism that concerns us is that it is any act or statement that contradicts the Koran or Sunna, whether in thought or action.”
He also said that Muslims should “impose their culture,” and that peaceful ways should be pursued only when they were not strong enough to do this: “If you are strong enough to defend yourself, you must do so...
Host: and impose your culture...
Al-Matroudi: Yes, and impose your culture.
Host: Great. Al-Matroudi: And if you have no such strength, you should do whatever you can to get what you want in peaceful and diplomatic ways.”
Aggression is something only infidels do. The Crusades were a brief and isolated episode in European history, whereas Jihad has been a constant feature of the Islamic world for more than 1300 years, fixed in the Koran and Islamic core texts.
Still, Muslims want Europeans to apologize for the Crusades, although they were, as Bernard Lewis and other have pointed out, a belated, defensive reaction against centuries of Islamic aggression.
This is because, as Tibi has demonstrated, it is not seen as aggression or war when Muslims attack non-Muslims.
On the contrary, it is seen as aggression when non-Muslims resist the Islamization of their lands and thus “place obstacles in the way” of the spread of Islam.
They are defying the will of Allah. Since subjugation to Islam alone can bring peace, Muslims consider themselves to be “spreading peace” when they raid, maim and kill from Europe to Central Asia.
According to Yusuf Al-Qaradawi, the Muslim community “has been exposed to horrendous invasions and aggressive attacks, one of which is the missionary invasion that aims at uprooting the Muslim community altogether. (…)
One of its goals is to entice Muslims to convert to Christianity.” He thus considers verbal, non-violent efforts to convert Muslims to other religions a form of aggression. This is also the reason why countries such as Algeria have passed laws banning the call to embrace other religions than Islam.
Qaradawi also seems to support the traditional Islamic view that those leaving Islam should be executed. The curious thing is, Muslims in infidel countries consider it an act of aggression if they don’t get to convert non-Muslims.
As I’ve stated in previous essays, Jihad is, simply put, anything undertaken to advance the spread of Islam, peaceful or not. Which means that Jihad is always present, even if there should be a temporary absence of violence because Muslims are too weak to use force.
On the other hand, “aggression” is anything undertaken by non-Muslims to obstruct the advance of Islam, non-violent or not.
Based on this information, maybe we could make a sketch of a dictionary to explain what many Muslims actually think when they use various terms Westerners and infidels understand very differently:
Peace: “Peace” in Islam equals submission to the will of Allah through his divine and eternal law, sharia, and the extension of the Dar al-Islam – or ‘House of Islam’ – to cover the entire world.
The absence of sharia is the absence of peace.
Since it is the will of Allah that Islam will rule the entire planet, entering non-Muslim lands to subjugate the population and wipe out their corrupt, infidel culture is not seen by Muslims as “waging war,” but as spreading peace.
Freedom: Hurriyya, freedom, means freeing all people from being slaves of the laws of men and making them live in perfect slavery, in submission to the will of Allah and his laws.
Religious freedom: Subjugation of non-Muslims to religious apartheid and second class citizenship in their own country under Islamic rule. This option is only available to Christians and Jews, not Hindus, Buddhists or others, who have only the choice between embracing Islam or death.
Muslims should practice sharia. Since these laws require the subjugation of non-Muslims, “freedom of religion” for Muslims essentially means the freedom to make others unfree.
Jihad: Peaceful, inner struggle that has killed up to 80 million people in the Indian subcontinent alone, and enslaved or killed tens of millions, perhaps hundreds of millions of people on three continents for 1350 years. It can also be violent, but only for defensive purposes, such as the Muslims who defended their way from the Arabian Peninsula to the borders of China, wiping out the indigenous cultures along the way.
Aggression: When non-Muslims do anything to preserve their culture and resist the Islamization of their country. Even when this “aggression” is non-violent, such as publishing a cartoon critical of Islam, this intolerable insult to Islamic supremacy on earth can be answered with violence by Muslims.
Since a refusal to submit to sharia is a rebellion against Allah, the very existence of non-Muslim communities can be viewed as an act of aggression.

WHAT ISLAM DEMANDS
ISLAM IN SOME GREATER DETAIL
‘Jamhooria Islamia’, a monthly Baluchi magazine published from Panj-gar, published an interview with Maulana Nawabzadaa Nabiullah Khan, a confidant of and adviser to the Amir of leading Pakistani Islamic party, Jamaat-e-Islami, Maulana Qazi Ahmed, which was conducted by Jalil Amir. The following constitutes are excerpts from that conversation which reveals the fundamentalist ideology and designs of the organisation and its leader.
EQUALITY OF MEN AND WOMEN IS STUPIDITY
Q: The women issue is very controversial nowadays. Taliban and some fundamentalist organizations restrict the freedom of women while some progressive Muslim intellectuals are insisting that the women are equal to men in all spheres. What are Qazi’s views on women?
A: As I said earlier, the Prophet Mohammad’s (PBUH) views on women are the exact views of Qazi Ahmed and the Jamat. Equality of men and women is stupidity. What men can do, women cannot do. Women are weak physically and mentally compared to men. Men have to take care of women all the time.
WOMEN MUST STAY HOME
Women should not have a life outside the family. Education can be provided to them, but not to compete with men in public.
NO VOTING RIGHTS FOR WOMEN UNDER SHARIA
Qazi had said once that when JI comes to power in Pakistan , he will abolish the voting rights of women and minorities. Only the Muslim men can participate in voting or standing for elections.
When I asked the proof from Hadiths, he had quoted many Hadiths in support of that. I asked him why is it that it is never talked about openly in the public by the Jamaat? Qazi had said that the hints are all over the place.
But JI did not make it a big issue since the women who currently have the voting rights may vote against JI in the elections if such a thing is said openly.
NON MUSLIMS IN MUSLIM COUNTRIES MUST PAY JIZYA
Q: That brings us to the question of minorities. Will they have to pay Jizya tax?
A: Yes. They have to pay the tax. As explained by Qazi Ahmed , the idea of Jizya is not protection money. But it is a monetary force on the non-Muslim to convert to Islam. Once the Jamaat comes to power, the minorities will be induced (forced) to become Muslims either by monetary or psychological factors.
ALL INDIAN HINDUS WILL BE CONVERTED INTO ISLAM
JI is already equating India with Hindus so that the Hindus of Pakistan will be forced to become Muslims. This was a very successful strategy during the Babri Masjid riots. JI was actively involved in destroying the Hindu temples in Punjab and Sindh.
We ordered the destruction of the Hindu family property too. But our main aim was to destroy the Hindu temples. We wrote in the JI pamphlets that destroying each pagan temple makes a Muslim move closer to the heaven of Allah. We used the Hadiths in all the pamphlets.
Babar destroyed the Ram temple in Ayodhya because he was a true believer. The same way, every Muslim should take it upon himself to destroy the Hindu temples in Pakistan . O! ur idea was to encourage the Muslims of India also to destroy the Hindu temples in India . But this was not met with much success since the Hindu police in India started attacking the Muslims who were doing Allah’s duty.
Q: What kind of government does JI envisage for Pakistan ?
A: It will be the Sharia government. Sharia will be made our constitution so that the eminent Muslim scholars who had completed the schooling in Madrasas will be appointed as the Judges in every court.
Qazi wanted to make the presidium on the same model as the Khalifa. Presently our idea is that the entire top leadership of JI as well as all three military Generals will be part of the presidium for which the Qazi will be the Khalifa.
OUR MOTTO IS CONSTANT JIHAD
Our motto is ‘Constant Jihad’. The idea is to keep Pakistan in a constant state of Jihad all the time. Qazi’s vision is that Pakistan will be! the centre of the new Islamic Empire that stretches from Burma to Afghanistan and from Srilanka to Tajikistan including Kashmir.
Towards that end, the Jamaat will use all tactics from terrorism in the kafir-controlled areas to negotiations in the Muslim controlled areas. Already the Jamaat leaders of Bangladesh and Jamaat leaders of India have accepted the primacy of Pakistani leadership in this regard.
SRI LANKA AND BURMA WILL BE PRESSURIZED TO CONVERT TO ISLAM
Q: What about Srilanka and Burma ?
A: Both are Buddhist nations. For that matter even Baluchistan and Afghanistan were Buddhist once while Sindh and Punjab were Hindu earlier. Buddhists are generally weaker in matters of faith. Hence we hope they will become Muslim with a little pressure. But that will happen only after Jamaat conquers first Pakistan and then India .
Q: What are the plans for India ? It looks like the entire India policy of the Jamaat revolves around Kashmir .
A: Yes that is true. But that is for a very good reason. See Kashmir is like a keystone that sits on top of the arch. It is true that the arch holds the entire weight of the keystone. But if you remove the keystone, then the whole arch falls down. That is why it is called the keystone.
Kashmir is the keystone for India . Once you remove that, then India can no longer be secular and it will not be a united country either. Once Kashmir is taken out, these militancy movements will break India by asking the similar freedom for Nagaland, Kerala, Mizoram, Meghalaya, Manipur , Assam , Jharkand, Tamil Nadu, West Bengal and Khalistan.
INDIA WILL BE MADE A 100% MUSLIM NATION
Q: Coming back to the same point, if India was to become many countries, how do you deal with the individual Hindu States? They may even become big enemies of Pakistan . Or they may again re-group to challenge Pakistan .
A: Given the differences between the nationalities in India , the options for Pakistan are endless. Qazi’s vision is to make the entire India a 100% Muslim Nation.
A United India, where Hindus are majority is an impediment to that. Like Prophet Mohammad (PBUH) made Muslims out of pagans of Arabia, Qazi also wants to make Muslims out of the pagans of India .
Q: This is a great vision since this was not even possible for the Muslim dynasties and Moguls who ruled India for the last 700 years.
A: True. That is because they had never really established the Muslim Empire. Though the Kings were Muslims, they had entertained the Hindus in positions of power. When you make an unequivocal statement that only Muslims are voters and declare that India is an Islamic Republic, then automatically the people will become Muslims.
Little bit of terror had to be applied to the heart of Hindus and Christians. I will give you a best example. The portions which now constitute Pakistan had 25% Hindu population before Independence .
TERRORIZATION IS THE BEST CONVERSION TOOL
After Independence , a lot of Hindus migrated to India . Yet after the migration, the Pakistani Hindu population was 15%. Do you know what is the percentage now? It is less than 1%.
How was this made possible? How did the Hindus convert to Islam in a short span of 20 years whereas for 700 years they had never converted to Islam? That is purely because of the terror of the Partition.
That terror forced the Hindus who remained in Pakistan to become Muslims. Pure and simple. JI used similar techniques in Punjab and Sindh. Each time a riot breaks out in India , we had used that pretext to strike terror among the Hindus, Christians and Ahmaddiahs.
The similar terror will be at the heart of every non-Muslim, both Hindu as well as Christian, in the coming years in the entire of India .
PROPHET SUCCEEDED WITH TERROR SO CAN WE
Qazi is an analytical genius who knows every strategy that was used by Prophet Mohammad (PBUH) and which will be and should be used in India to achieve the total submission to Allah.
Q: Do you envision a possibility that when Kashmir becomes part of Pakistan , there could be large-scale riots in India against Indian Muslims? Hence unwittingly Kashmir could lead to more deaths of Indian Muslims and damage Islamic Ummah.
ANY MUSLIM ASSOCIATING WITH A POLYTHEIST BECOMES A POLYTHEIST
A: Yes that is a possibility. But our ideology is based on Quran and Hadiths. Prophet Mohammad (PBUH) in numerous Hadiths and Allah in Quran had said that any Muslim who associates with a polytheist is a polytheist. Muslims cannot be friendly with a non-Muslim. This includes the Christians, Jews and Hindus.
Also Mohammad (PBUH) says that even if the Muslim ruler is not good, the Muslims stay with the ruler rather than go out to a non-Muslim country. Hadiths and Quran are very explicit regarding this. All the Muslims who did not migrate to Pakistan during Partition are in essence Hindus. They may think that they are Muslims. But not before Allah.
They are as self-deluded as the Ahmaddiahs who think they are Muslims when everyone knows that they are not Muslims. Hence the Muslims of India who had decided to stay in India during Partition are not Muslims and their progeny are not Muslim (since they did not migrate to Muslim lands).
Another thing that I noticed in my journeys in India is that the Hindu farmers generally offer their entire harvest to their gods at the end of their harvesting season. This makes the entire crop as haram for Muslims.
Yet these so-called Muslims of India are forced to eat this food which was already offered to some other God other than Allah. This is explicitly forbidden in Quran.
MUSLIMS GOING TO NON MUSLIM COUNTRIES TO SETTLE DOWN ARE KAFIRS
And this is one of the serious problems of living in non-Muslim countries. Prophet Mohammad (PBUH) knew such things; that is why he ordered Muslims not to live in non-Muslim areas. Yet knowingly these so-called Muslims live in India .
AGAIN ALL THE MUSLIMS WHO MIGRATE TO OTHER NON MUSLIM COUNTRIES AND US ARE NON MUSLIMS .
Only the Muslims who intend to come back are Muslims not the ones who decide to stay in such countries. Hence we do not care if such Indian Muslims die in the riots.
But due to strategy reasons we do have excellent relations with these Muslims. All the Muslims who work for Pakistan and for the glory of Ummah are real Muslims. They are our front line troops in non-Muslim countries. Hence we have to distribute the arms and ammunitions to these real Muslims in case riots come to their door.
The Kashmiri Muslims are pure Muslims who are toiling under the yoke of Hindu rule. They are victimized by the international conspiracy to keep them under the Hindu rule. That issue is part of the incomplete Partition, whereas the Indian Muslims have accepted Partition and stayed on in India knowingly.
JAMAT WILL BRING SLAVERY BACK TO PAKISTAN
Arabians own slaves. Though Allah says that the slaves should be treated in a nice manner, he did not advocate the abolition of slavery. If slavery is bad as considered in today’s world, Allah certainly would have said that slavery is wrong.
Prophet Mohammad (PBUH) also said that the slaves should be treated in a good manner and the slaves should be released often. But if there is no slavery, how can anyone release slaves? Hence the re-introduction of slavery in Pakistan is one of the future plans of the Jamaat.
ALL CAPTURED HINDUS WILL BE MADE SLAVES
All the captured Hindu Indians and Srilankans will be made slaves to work for Pakistani Muslims. Every God-abiding Pakistani Muslim will get slaves once we conquer India . All the slaves who embrace Islam will be set free.
Slavery is Islamic.
Jamaat is the only political party, which does not voice any opposition to the slavery in Pakistan . We went around all over Arabia . We were surprised to know that there are some Hindus in Yemen .
These ancient Yemeni Hindus are not Indians. In my opinion, these Hindus are traders from India in the ancient times. I was also surprised to know that they have a Shiva temple in Yemen .
Qazi was very unhappy over this. When he talked to the Yemen leaders, he broached this subject. But the Yemeni leaders refused Qazi’s suggestion of forced conversion of these people to Islam. I don’t know why they refused. I think it may be due to the large population of Hindus from India who work in Yemen and Arabia .
He disliked the current leadership of Arabia for this reason.
In his opinion, Arabia should not allow any non-Muslim into the holy lands of Arabia . Arabia should be 100% pure. A large number of Hindus in Arabia is corrupting the Arabians. Though they live as contractors, they have the potential to corrupt the minds of the Arabians.
HINDU TEMPLES POLLUTE MUSLIM LANDS
One such thing is the presence of Arabians in the Qatar Hindu temple. First the king allowed the Hindus to build a temple and church in the holy lands, thereby polluting the Holy Land .
Second is that even a member of the Royal family visited that temple to inaugurate that temple. To the horror of Qazi, he had learnt that one of the powerful members of the Qatar Royal family is a devotee of a god called Aayappan. This news resolved Qazi to fight the force of the devil thousand fold.
Q: Such things happen in Pakistan today. I mean a friend of mine goes to a Hindu temple. Another friend goes to church meetings.
A: Yes. One of Qazi’s relatives wanted to become a Hindu. He did not have a child for many years and it seems he had prayed to a Hindu God and got the child. Hence he felt thankful to that god and wanted to become a Hindu. Qazi got to know of this and called him and threatened him with dire consequences. That relative did not become a Hindu. But that incident made Qazi read more about apostasy.
PUNISHMENT FOR APOSTASY IS DEATH
Quran and Hadith clearly say the punishment for abandonment of Islam is death.
Since Sharia is not the law in Pakistan , and the current Pakistani Constitution grants the right to change religion, it is legally correct to declare oneself as Hindu or Christian. But once the JI takes over the government, it will make Sharia as the Constitution.
Then Pakistan will also legally execute any person who leaves Islam and joins Ahmaddiah, Christianity or Hinduism the same way Iran and Taliban treats its apostates.
He also opined that the presence of the Hindu temples in Pakistan is the root cause of the problem and hence we want to destroy all the Hindu temples and Churches in Pakistan .
Q: This brings us into another area. Right now the Internet is becoming widespread. Even Saudi Arabia is connected with the outside world. Destroying the temples may be good, but how can we insulate the Pakistani and Muslim people against the corrupting knowledge totally?
A: JI had taken a principled stand on the matter of science and religion. Religion is far superior to science.
ALL THE WORLD'S KNOWLEDGE IS IN QURAN AND HADITHS !!!
Whatever man needs to know is in the Quran and Hadiths. Knowing more will create problems like the Atom bomb and Television.
MUSIC TV AND PHOTOGRAPHY ARE SATANIC AND HARAM
Quran and Hadiths are explicit in denouncing pictures. Yet the lure of Satan in the form of photography and television is eating our lives.
Music previously was confined only to the vocal singing. Now science and technology made the music widespread at a cheaper price. These are the lures of Satan. We have to be on guard against these harami things.
SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY ARE BAD FOR CIVILIZATION
Hence, more science and technology is bad for the civilization. I had completed civil engineering. Hence I am privy to scientific knowledge. I can tell you how corrupting that is. It even makes you question the glorious Quran. (Alan: no kidding!)
EARTH IS FLAT !!!!!
There are many Hadiths, which say that the earth is flat. But any science will tell you the earth is a sphere. But you can use the same science like the relativity theory to prove that the earth is flat.
It is the same case with evolution. But the point being that doubt is sown in the minds of the people on the validity of the Quran as the word of God. More and more we work hard to prove the Quran’s scientific correctness, more and more people will get apprehensive of the truth of the Quran. This is an abomination.
WHEN ISLAM TALKS OF GET EDUCATED IT MEANS QURANIC EDUCATION
This is why when we talk of education, we talk of religious education and not scientific education.
It is true that science grew after the Prophet’s revolution in Arabia . That was the start of science. Now each and every science is filled with anti-god stuff.
If you want to become a doctor, you have to read evolution. If you have to read any engineering, you have to believe in the billions of years old universe theory which effectively says that human beings came to the world only just one or two million years back.
Q: But we still need the arms and knowledge of the Western world, which believes in science. And again you had referred to television as evil. If we abolish photography how can we have passports or identification cards?
A: Yes. That is strategic. With the help of Allah, we will be given oil for them to run their cars and we will have arms in that place. We will use their arms to destroy them in the course of time.
PHOTOGRAPHY WILL BE BANNED UNDER JI
As far as photos are concerned, they will be banned as it was done in Afghanistan under Taliban. If there is no need for people to go out of Pakistan, where is the need for the passports?
For those who have to travel to other countries like the leaders of the revolution, they only will be given the passport with photos.
For that, we will allow limited photography licensed only to the government. And the biggest corruption in today’s Pakistan is Indian satellite TV and Indian cinemas and Indian songs. We have to abolish these too.
ARABIC WILL BE MADE OFFICIAL LANGUAGE OF PAKISTAN
Q: Currently we have a lot of opposition from Mohajirs regarding
reservations. What kind of reservation policy will the JI will have in Pakistan ?
A: We approach that problem as the problem of language. Urdu-speaking Muslims and Sindhi-speaking Muslims are fighting now. We plan to abolish all the regional languages like Pashto, Sindhi, Baluchi, Urdu, Punjabi and Brahvi.
We want all the people of Pakistan to speak Arabic which is our divine language. This will make everyone equal before everyone else and there would not be any need for language or region based reservations. We also hope that this will make the Quran and Hadiths easier to understand and will make the people follow the Quran and Hadiths to the letter.
Q: There could be language riots. One such language riot resulted in Bangladesh .
A: Bangladesh was not a result of language riot. The very idea that they are Muslims will bring the Bangladeshis to Arabic. We already fund heavily the Arabic language courses all over India , Bangladesh and Pakistan .
From Morocco to Iraq speaks in Arabic, I don’t see any reason why from Morocco to Burma we will not bring Arabic to the people. Even Bangladesh will start speaking in Arabic. That time there won’t be any Bangladesh where the country name itself has the name of the language.
Yes. Right now our aim is just for reunification without touching on the language issue of Bengali. JI of Bangladesh is working towards this aim.
Q: The secular journalists of Pakistan oppose the JI. For example the Dawn and News are very critical of the JI. How do you see their role in the future?
A: Ardheshir Cowasjee is able to work only because of the present Constitution of Pakistan. When Sharia becomes the Constitution, he cannot even approach the court, as he is a kafir. We see secular journalists as our main enemy in the current struggle to reach power. These secular journalists are digging our statements we made during the pre-Independence days and trying to beat us.
Of course we opposed the creation of Pakistan during the British times. But that was a different Jamaat. Our history starts with Independence .
SECULARS ARE KAFIRS
Secular journalists are not Muslims even though some of them are carrying Muslim names. Let them come to us and let us ask questions on the Quran and Hadiths. We will prove each and every thing we say is from Quran and Hadiths. Let them prove what we say as wrong from the Quranic angle. Then we will accept them.
But they cannot. They cannot match us in any debate concerning the Quran and Hadiths. We can comprehensively prove that they are indeed non-Muslims.! They are like Quadianis who say that the Muslim need not take up Jihad as an obligation. That is pure nonsense.
Q: Thanks for your time.
A: May Allah’s blessings be with you.

We ordered the destruction of the Hindu family property too. But our main aim was to destroy the Hindu temples. We wrote in the JI pamphlets that destroying each pagan temple makes a Muslim move closer to the heaven of Allah. We used the Hadiths in all the pamphlets.
Babar destroyed the Ram temple in Ayodhya because he was a true believer. The same way, every Muslim should take it upon himself to destroy the Hindu temples in Pakistan . O! ur idea was to encourage the Muslims of India also to destroy the Hindu temples in India . But this was not met with much success since the Hindu police in India started attacking the Muslims who were doing Allah’s duty.
Q: What kind of government does JI envisage for Pakistan ?
A: It will be the Sharia government. Sharia will be made our constitution so that the eminent Muslim scholars who had completed the schooling in Madrasas will be appointed as the Judges in every court.
Qazi wanted to make the presidium on the same model as the Khalifa. Presently our idea is that the entire top leadership of JI as well as all three military Generals will be part of the presidium for which the Qazi will be the Khalifa.
OUR MOTTO IS CONSTANT JIHAD
Our motto is ‘Constant Jihad’. The idea is to keep Pakistan in a constant state of Jihad all the time. Qazi’s vision is that Pakistan will be! the centre of the new Islamic Empire that stretches from Burma to Afghanistan and from Srilanka to Tajikistan including Kashmir.
Towards that end, the Jamaat will use all tactics from terrorism in the kafir-controlled areas to negotiations in the Muslim controlled areas. Already the Jamaat leaders of Bangladesh and Jamaat leaders of India have accepted the primacy of Pakistani leadership in this regard.
SRI LANKA AND BURMA WILL BE PRESSURIZED TO CONVERT TO ISLAM
Q: What about Srilanka and Burma ?
A: Both are Buddhist nations. For that matter even Baluchistan and Afghanistan were Buddhist once while Sindh and Punjab were Hindu earlier. Buddhists are generally weaker in matters of faith. Hence we hope they will become Muslim with a little pressure. But that will happen only after Jamaat conquers first Pakistan and then India .
Q: What are the plans for India ? It looks like the entire India policy of the Jamaat revolves around Kashmir .
A: Yes that is true. But that is for a very good reason. See Kashmir is like a keystone that sits on top of the arch. It is true that the arch holds the entire weight of the keystone. But if you remove the keystone, then the whole arch falls down. That is why it is called the keystone.
Kashmir is the keystone for India . Once you remove that, then India can no longer be secular and it will not be a united country either. Once Kashmir is taken out, these militancy movements will break India by asking the similar freedom for Nagaland, Kerala, Mizoram, Meghalaya, Manipur , Assam , Jharkand, Tamil Nadu, West Bengal and Khalistan.
INDIA WILL BE MADE A 100% MUSLIM NATION
Q: Coming back to the same point, if India was to become many countries, how do you deal with the individual Hindu States? They may even become big enemies of Pakistan . Or they may again re-group to challenge Pakistan .
A: Given the differences between the nationalities in India , the options for Pakistan are endless. Qazi’s vision is to make the entire India a 100% Muslim Nation.
A United India, where Hindus are majority is an impediment to that. Like Prophet Mohammad (PBUH) made Muslims out of pagans of Arabia, Qazi also wants to make Muslims out of the pagans of India .
Q: This is a great vision since this was not even possible for the Muslim dynasties and Moguls who ruled India for the last 700 years.
A: True. That is because they had never really established the Muslim Empire. Though the Kings were Muslims, they had entertained the Hindus in positions of power. When you make an unequivocal statement that only Muslims are voters and declare that India is an Islamic Republic, then automatically the people will become Muslims.
Little bit of terror had to be applied to the heart of Hindus and Christians. I will give you a best example. The portions which now constitute Pakistan had 25% Hindu population before Independence .
TERRORIZATION IS THE BEST CONVERSION TOOL
After Independence , a lot of Hindus migrated to India . Yet after the migration, the Pakistani Hindu population was 15%. Do you know what is the percentage now? It is less than 1%.
How was this made possible? How did the Hindus convert to Islam in a short span of 20 years whereas for 700 years they had never converted to Islam? That is purely because of the terror of the Partition.
That terror forced the Hindus who remained in Pakistan to become Muslims. Pure and simple. JI used similar techniques in Punjab and Sindh. Each time a riot breaks out in India , we had used that pretext to strike terror among the Hindus, Christians and Ahmaddiahs.
The similar terror will be at the heart of every non-Muslim, both Hindu as well as Christian, in the coming years in the entire of India .
PROPHET SUCCEEDED WITH TERROR SO CAN WE
Qazi is an analytical genius who knows every strategy that was used by Prophet Mohammad (PBUH) and which will be and should be used in India to achieve the total submission to Allah.
Q: Do you envision a possibility that when Kashmir becomes part of Pakistan , there could be large-scale riots in India against Indian Muslims? Hence unwittingly Kashmir could lead to more deaths of Indian Muslims and damage Islamic Ummah.
ANY MUSLIM ASSOCIATING WITH A POLYTHEIST BECOMES A POLYTHEIST
A: Yes that is a possibility. But our ideology is based on Quran and Hadiths. Prophet Mohammad (PBUH) in numerous Hadiths and Allah in Quran had said that any Muslim who associates with a polytheist is a polytheist. Muslims cannot be friendly with a non-Muslim. This includes the Christians, Jews and Hindus.
Also Mohammad (PBUH) says that even if the Muslim ruler is not good, the Muslims stay with the ruler rather than go out to a non-Muslim country. Hadiths and Quran are very explicit regarding this. All the Muslims who did not migrate to Pakistan during Partition are in essence Hindus. They may think that they are Muslims. But not before Allah.
They are as self-deluded as the Ahmaddiahs who think they are Muslims when everyone knows that they are not Muslims. Hence the Muslims of India who had decided to stay in India during Partition are not Muslims and their progeny are not Muslim (since they did not migrate to Muslim lands).
Another thing that I noticed in my journeys in India is that the Hindu farmers generally offer their entire harvest to their gods at the end of their harvesting season. This makes the entire crop as haram for Muslims.
Yet these so-called Muslims of India are forced to eat this food which was already offered to some other God other than Allah. This is explicitly forbidden in Quran.
MUSLIMS GOING TO NON MUSLIM COUNTRIES TO SETTLE DOWN ARE KAFIRS
And this is one of the serious problems of living in non-Muslim countries. Prophet Mohammad (PBUH) knew such things; that is why he ordered Muslims not to live in non-Muslim areas. Yet knowingly these so-called Muslims live in India .
AGAIN ALL THE MUSLIMS WHO MIGRATE TO OTHER NON MUSLIM COUNTRIES AND US ARE NON MUSLIMS .
Only the Muslims who intend to come back are Muslims not the ones who decide to stay in such countries. Hence we do not care if such Indian Muslims die in the riots.
But due to strategy reasons we do have excellent relations with these Muslims. All the Muslims who work for Pakistan and for the glory of Ummah are real Muslims. They are our front line troops in non-Muslim countries. Hence we have to distribute the arms and ammunitions to these real Muslims in case riots come to their door.
The Kashmiri Muslims are pure Muslims who are toiling under the yoke of Hindu rule. They are victimized by the international conspiracy to keep them under the Hindu rule. That issue is part of the incomplete Partition, whereas the Indian Muslims have accepted Partition and stayed on in India knowingly.
JAMAT WILL BRING SLAVERY BACK TO PAKISTAN
Arabians own slaves. Though Allah says that the slaves should be treated in a nice manner, he did not advocate the abolition of slavery. If slavery is bad as considered in today’s world, Allah certainly would have said that slavery is wrong.
Prophet Mohammad (PBUH) also said that the slaves should be treated in a good manner and the slaves should be released often. But if there is no slavery, how can anyone release slaves? Hence the re-introduction of slavery in Pakistan is one of the future plans of the Jamaat.
ALL CAPTURED HINDUS WILL BE MADE SLAVES
All the captured Hindu Indians and Srilankans will be made slaves to work for Pakistani Muslims. Every God-abiding Pakistani Muslim will get slaves once we conquer India . All the slaves who embrace Islam will be set free.
Slavery is Islamic.
Jamaat is the only political party, which does not voice any opposition to the slavery in Pakistan . We went around all over Arabia . We were surprised to know that there are some Hindus in Yemen .
These ancient Yemeni Hindus are not Indians. In my opinion, these Hindus are traders from India in the ancient times. I was also surprised to know that they have a Shiva temple in Yemen .
Qazi was very unhappy over this. When he talked to the Yemen leaders, he broached this subject. But the Yemeni leaders refused Qazi’s suggestion of forced conversion of these people to Islam. I don’t know why they refused. I think it may be due to the large population of Hindus from India who work in Yemen and Arabia .
He disliked the current leadership of Arabia for this reason.
In his opinion, Arabia should not allow any non-Muslim into the holy lands of Arabia . Arabia should be 100% pure. A large number of Hindus in Arabia is corrupting the Arabians. Though they live as contractors, they have the potential to corrupt the minds of the Arabians.
HINDU TEMPLES POLLUTE MUSLIM LANDS
One such thing is the presence of Arabians in the Qatar Hindu temple. First the king allowed the Hindus to build a temple and church in the holy lands, thereby polluting the Holy Land .
Second is that even a member of the Royal family visited that temple to inaugurate that temple. To the horror of Qazi, he had learnt that one of the powerful members of the Qatar Royal family is a devotee of a god called Aayappan. This news resolved Qazi to fight the force of the devil thousand fold.
Q: Such things happen in Pakistan today. I mean a friend of mine goes to a Hindu temple. Another friend goes to church meetings.
A: Yes. One of Qazi’s relatives wanted to become a Hindu. He did not have a child for many years and it seems he had prayed to a Hindu God and got the child. Hence he felt thankful to that god and wanted to become a Hindu. Qazi got to know of this and called him and threatened him with dire consequences. That relative did not become a Hindu. But that incident made Qazi read more about apostasy.
PUNISHMENT FOR APOSTASY IS DEATH
Quran and Hadith clearly say the punishment for abandonment of Islam is death.
Since Sharia is not the law in Pakistan , and the current Pakistani Constitution grants the right to change religion, it is legally correct to declare oneself as Hindu or Christian. But once the JI takes over the government, it will make Sharia as the Constitution.
Then Pakistan will also legally execute any person who leaves Islam and joins Ahmaddiah, Christianity or Hinduism the same way Iran and Taliban treats its apostates.
He also opined that the presence of the Hindu temples in Pakistan is the root cause of the problem and hence we want to destroy all the Hindu temples and Churches in Pakistan .
Q: This brings us into another area. Right now the Internet is becoming widespread. Even Saudi Arabia is connected with the outside world. Destroying the temples may be good, but how can we insulate the Pakistani and Muslim people against the corrupting knowledge totally?
A: JI had taken a principled stand on the matter of science and religion. Religion is far superior to science.
ALL THE WORLD'S KNOWLEDGE IS IN QURAN AND HADITHS !!!
Whatever man needs to know is in the Quran and Hadiths. Knowing more will create problems like the Atom bomb and Television.
MUSIC TV AND PHOTOGRAPHY ARE SATANIC AND HARAM
Quran and Hadiths are explicit in denouncing pictures. Yet the lure of Satan in the form of photography and television is eating our lives.
Music previously was confined only to the vocal singing. Now science and technology made the music widespread at a cheaper price. These are the lures of Satan. We have to be on guard against these harami things.
SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY ARE BAD FOR CIVILIZATION
Hence, more science and technology is bad for the civilization. I had completed civil engineering. Hence I am privy to scientific knowledge. I can tell you how corrupting that is. It even makes you question the glorious Quran. (Alan: no kidding!)
EARTH IS FLAT !!!!!
There are many Hadiths, which say that the earth is flat. But any science will tell you the earth is a sphere. But you can use the same science like the relativity theory to prove that the earth is flat.
It is the same case with evolution. But the point being that doubt is sown in the minds of the people on the validity of the Quran as the word of God. More and more we work hard to prove the Quran’s scientific correctness, more and more people will get apprehensive of the truth of the Quran. This is an abomination.
WHEN ISLAM TALKS OF GET EDUCATED IT MEANS QURANIC EDUCATION
This is why when we talk of education, we talk of religious education and not scientific education.
It is true that science grew after the Prophet’s revolution in Arabia . That was the start of science. Now each and every science is filled with anti-god stuff.
If you want to become a doctor, you have to read evolution. If you have to read any engineering, you have to believe in the billions of years old universe theory which effectively says that human beings came to the world only just one or two million years back.
Q: But we still need the arms and knowledge of the Western world, which believes in science. And again you had referred to television as evil. If we abolish photography how can we have passports or identification cards?
A: Yes. That is strategic. With the help of Allah, we will be given oil for them to run their cars and we will have arms in that place. We will use their arms to destroy them in the course of time.
PHOTOGRAPHY WILL BE BANNED UNDER JI
As far as photos are concerned, they will be banned as it was done in Afghanistan under Taliban. If there is no need for people to go out of Pakistan, where is the need for the passports?
For those who have to travel to other countries like the leaders of the revolution, they only will be given the passport with photos.
For that, we will allow limited photography licensed only to the government. And the biggest corruption in today’s Pakistan is Indian satellite TV and Indian cinemas and Indian songs. We have to abolish these too.
ARABIC WILL BE MADE OFFICIAL LANGUAGE OF PAKISTAN
Q: Currently we have a lot of opposition from Mohajirs regarding
reservations. What kind of reservation policy will the JI will have in Pakistan ?
A: We approach that problem as the problem of language. Urdu-speaking Muslims and Sindhi-speaking Muslims are fighting now. We plan to abolish all the regional languages like Pashto, Sindhi, Baluchi, Urdu, Punjabi and Brahvi.
We want all the people of Pakistan to speak Arabic which is our divine language. This will make everyone equal before everyone else and there would not be any need for language or region based reservations. We also hope that this will make the Quran and Hadiths easier to understand and will make the people follow the Quran and Hadiths to the letter.
Q: There could be language riots. One such language riot resulted in Bangladesh .
A: Bangladesh was not a result of language riot. The very idea that they are Muslims will bring the Bangladeshis to Arabic. We already fund heavily the Arabic language courses all over India , Bangladesh and Pakistan .
From Morocco to Iraq speaks in Arabic, I don’t see any reason why from Morocco to Burma we will not bring Arabic to the people. Even Bangladesh will start speaking in Arabic. That time there won’t be any Bangladesh where the country name itself has the name of the language.
Yes. Right now our aim is just for reunification without touching on the language issue of Bengali. JI of Bangladesh is working towards this aim.
Q: The secular journalists of Pakistan oppose the JI. For example the Dawn and News are very critical of the JI. How do you see their role in the future?
A: Ardheshir Cowasjee is able to work only because of the present Constitution of Pakistan. When Sharia becomes the Constitution, he cannot even approach the court, as he is a kafir. We see secular journalists as our main enemy in the current struggle to reach power. These secular journalists are digging our statements we made during the pre-Independence days and trying to beat us.
Of course we opposed the creation of Pakistan during the British times. But that was a different Jamaat. Our history starts with Independence .
SECULARS ARE KAFIRS
Secular journalists are not Muslims even though some of them are carrying Muslim names. Let them come to us and let us ask questions on the Quran and Hadiths. We will prove each and every thing we say is from Quran and Hadiths. Let them prove what we say as wrong from the Quranic angle. Then we will accept them.
But they cannot. They cannot match us in any debate concerning the Quran and Hadiths. We can comprehensively prove that they are indeed non-Muslims.! They are like Quadianis who say that the Muslim need not take up Jihad as an obligation. That is pure nonsense.
Q: Thanks for your time.
A: May Allah’s blessings be with you.

INFORMATION ABOUT HAMAS
www.DiscoverTheNetwork.org
HAMASURL :http://www.hamasonline.com/
* Islamic terrorist group founded in 1987
* Received funding from Saddam Hussein
* Receives funding from Iran* Responsible for many suicide bombings and terrorist acts against Israeli targets
Hamas (an acronym for Harakat al-Muqawamat al-Islamiyya, or “Islamic Resistance Movement”) is a radical fundamentalist group founded on December 14, 1987 by the Muslim Brotherhood.
( Hamas describes itself as “one of the wings of the Muslim Brother[hood].”) As a single Arabic word rather than an acronym, “Hamas” means “zeal.” Its avowed purpose is “liberating Palestine” from the Jew “oppressors,” whose presence in the Middle East it considers an affront to Muslims’ rightful sovereignty in the land of the Prophet Mohammad. The organization’s individual co-founders were Ahmed Yassin and Abdel Aziz al Rantisi.
With tens of thousands of loyal supporters, Hamas’ strength is concentrated principally in the Gaza Strip and a few areas of the West Bank. The group’s leadership is dispersed throughout these same areas, with a few senior leaders residing in Syria, Lebanon, and the Gulf States.
Hamas receives some funding from Iran but is supported primarily by donations from Palestinian expatriates around the world and private benefactors in Arab nations. Some clandestine fundraising takes place in Western Europe and North America as well.
When the United Nations Oil-For-Food program was in effect, Saddam Hussein skimmed more than $21 billion from its coffers and sent some of it it directly to Hamas.
Hamas has a close working relationship with Hezbollah, the Lebanon-based terror organization that is one of Hamas’ major suppliers of weaponry. Hamas is best known for using violent methods — including suicide bombings against Israeli military and civilian targets — to destroy Israel and replace it with an Islamic Palestinian state.
The Hamas Charter, written in 1988, puts forth “The Slogan of the Hamas,” which reads as follows: “Allah is its goal, the Prophet its model, the Qur’an its Constitution, Jihad its path, and death for the case of Allah its most sublime belief.”
The Charter says that jihad, or holy war, “becomes an individual duty binding on every Muslim man and woman; a woman must go out and fight the enemy even without her husband’s authorization, and a slave without his masters’ permission.”
The Hamas Charter explicitly abjures negotiated settlements as mechanisms for peaceful coexistence: “There is no other solution for the Palestinian problem other than jihad. All the initiatives and international conferences are a waste of time and a futile game.”
According to the Charter, those against whom jihad is to be directed are the Jews. “The Nazism of the Jews,” it says, “does not skip women and children, it scares everyone. They make war against people’s livelihood, plunder their moneys and threaten their honor.”
Hamas seeks to fulfill the Qur’anic scripture which reads: “The prophet, prayer and peace be upon him, said: The time will not come until Muslims will fight the Jews (and kill them); until the Jews hide behind rocks and trees, which will cry: O Muslim! There is a Jew hiding behind me, come on and kill him!”
Hamas’ rejection of negotiated settlements was given voice in October 2000 by its founder and then-leader Sheikh Ahmed Yassin, who was killed on March 22, 2004, by Hellfire missiles fired by Israeli helicopter gun ships. Palestinian Authority President Yasser Arafat eulogized Yassin and declared three days of mourning.
Yassin was immediately replaced by Hamas co-founder Abdel Aziz al Rantisi, who had escaped an Israeli assassination attempt in June 2003. The 54-year-old pediatrician initially threatened retaliatory attacks against both Israel and the United States, but later said that Hamas would target only Israel.
On April 17, 2004, An Israeli helicopter launched a strike on Rantisi’s car, killing him and two others — one of them a bodyguard.
That same month, Yasser Arafat told the German magazine Focus that he was prepared to include Hamas and Islamic Jihad in a new leadership structure to operate in parallel with the Palestinian Authority.
“Forming a unified Palestinian leadership does not contradict the Palestinian Authority,” Fatah Central Committee member Hani al-Hassan told Fatah-connected newspaper Al-Ayyam, “as it is an internal Palestinian factional issue.” “We think that all political movements should take part in the political decision-making process,” agreed senior Hamas figure Sheikh Said Siam.
“We want a political partnership along new guidelines which take into account the weight of the various movements.” But this alleged diversity of political viewpoints was illusory. On January 3, 2003, PLO political chief Farouq Al-Qaddoumi candidly acknowledged that Fatah, “strategically,” was “never different from Hamas.”
In March 2005, FBI Director Robert Mueller stated, “Of all the Palestinian groups, Hamas has the largest presence in the United States with a strong infrastructure … [and] is theoretically capable of facilitating acts of terrorism in the United States.”
In October 2005 an FBI counterterrorism agent in New York affirmed Mueller’s assertions, stating “We have information Hamas agents have been on U.S. soil the past few years and that the group may currently have up to 100 agents operating inside America.”
According to terrorism expert Steven Emerson, “Hamas has an extensive infrastructure in the U.S. mostly revolving around the activities of fundraising, recruiting and training members, directing operations against Israel, organizing political support and operating through human rights front groups. … [I]t has the capability of carrying out attacks in America if it decided to enlarge the scope of its operations.”
In August 2005, the founders and political leaders of Hamas joined forces to publicly announce that the organization’s attacks against Israeli targets would continue even after Israel’s impending withdrawal from the Gaza Strip. Senior Hamas member Ismail Haniyye characterized Israel’s withdrawal as a “retreat” that was “a result of resistance and our people’s sacrifice.”
Promising more violence, Haniyye declared, “Hamas confirms its adherence to resistance as a strategic option until the occupation retreats from our lands and holy places. Our movement reaffirms that it will protect its military apparatus …”
In elections held on January 27, 2006, Hamas won control of the Palestinian government when its party members took a majority of parliamentary seats. Formally assuming power on March 29, the newly installed Prime Minister Ismail Haniyeh pledged to cooperate with President Mahmoud Abbas, Arafat’s successor and head of the defeated Fatah party.
At a Gaza news conference, Haniyeh said his relations with Abbas would stress “cooperation and harmony, based on the supreme interest of the people” — which meant confronting “Israeli aggression against the people.” The new 24-member Hamas Cabinet included 14 ministers who had previously served time in Israeli prisons.
On February 15, 2007, following months of difficult negotiations and violent street fighting, the Hamas-led Palestinian government resigned in order to pave the way for a “unity government” that would include both Hamas and its rival Fatah. Ismail Haniyeh kept his position as Prime Minister, and Hamas retained a majority of the cabinet, with twelve seats, with Fatah holding only six.
On April 24, 2007, Hamas announced that a “truce” it had made with Israel five months earlier was “officially over.” To make the point, the terror group fired 39 Qassam rockets and 79 mortars from the Gaza Strip into nearby Jewish communities on the day that Israelis were celebrating their country’s Independence Day.
The projectiles were intended to divert Israeli attention while Hamas terrorists tried, unsuccessfully, to storm an Israeli military base on the Gaza border to kidnap Israeli soldiers. (It should be noted that the cease-fire had never been honored by Hamas; during the five months when it was supposedly in effect, Hamas simply passed its weaponry to other organizations which, in turn, launched more than 200 rockets from Gaza into Israel.)
Said Abu Abdullah, a leading member of the Izzedine al-Qassam Martyrs Brigades, Hamas’ nominal military wing: “We don’t recognize Israel’s right to exist. We will never allow Jews to remain in our lands. Today’s attack was only a sample of what we can do. We have thousands of rockets ready to be shot. The cease-fire is officially over.”
Abdullah warned that if Israel raided Gaza in retaliation for the new attacks, “the Zionists will be entering hell. We are preparing a major cemetery for them. We will step up attacks, including dispatching suicide bombers to Tel Aviv.”
He further explained that Hamas had used the cease-fire period to stockpile weaponry and to train for attacks against Israel.
Hamas’ current worldwide leader is Khaled Mash’al, who first became a member of the Hamas Political Bureau in 1996.

ISLAMIC JIHADISTS PRACTICE URBAN TERROR IN AMERICAN STREETS
Jihad in U.S. Streets
‘These killers are known as ‘paintball jihadists’ in that they practice in paintball game style what they have planned for America ’s streets. They are already training others in ‘urban combat’ using paintball guns.
They will engage in paramilitary-style training right under our noses, and lie about it to our faces. They are protected, in some cases, by the religious Imams, some who even encourage or schedule such outings.’
Zealot Muslims now plan to bathe America ’s streets with gunfire just as is going on in Iraq , Afghanistan , Sudan , Darfur and so forth.
Once these Allah devotees get hold, they don’t stop. Street fighting never ends. Further, these fighters are more than willing to sacrifice their own bodies and those of their families and neighbors in order to see through Islam World Rule.
Douglas J. Hagmann, Director, Northeast Intelligence Network, reports that American officials already know of the process. However, both government and media are muffling detail.
Jihad will come to the United States due to ‘Muslim men inside the U.S. , (the latter) adhering to the Islamist ideology of jihad, preparing for war on the streets of America .
‘The ‘insider’ reports are very troubling and are purposely being downplayed by official sources and go largely unreported in the media.
‘One case, however, can serve as an example of what is taking place all across the U.S. involving the procurement and disbursement of weapons to Muslim ‘jihadists.’
On Tuesday, May 2, 2007, a federal indictment was unsealed in the U.S. federal court in St. Louis naming eight Islamic men as defendants in a case involving the buying, selling or hiding of automatic weapons, an anti-personnel mine and other explosives.
‘The case originated with the arrest of Mousa M. ABUELAWI, 22, of Creve Coeur , MO on December 29, 2006. He was charged with three counts of illegal possession or distribution of a machine gun and conspiracy to violate machine gun statutes. A superseding indictment unsealed yesterday, charges ABUELAWI and seven others with machine gun charges and charges of conspiracy, lying to the FBI and other firearms violations.
‘The other seven defendants identified in the indictment are identified as: Thaer Abde SUMAD, 23, of Florissant, MO, Abdikarin WARSAME, 28, Charley M. HUNT Jr., 45, Darnell T. THORNTON, 25, and Hussein Ali NURE, 29, all from Jennings, MO, Mohamed JUDEH, 20, of Maryland Heights and Otha L. BAKER, 20, of St. Louis. If found guilty of the charges, the men face 5-10 years in prison.’
Jihadists are stockpiling weaponry and explosives via secret cells. Mosque leaders are cooperating with them.
‘In the case of ABUELAWI and the other seven defendants, the men met at gas stations located in north St. Louis between August 2006 and January 2007 to buy or transfer automatic weapons and explosives. In the original documents charging Abuelawi, Sumad is quoted in a meeting with ABUELAWI and a government informer as saying that ‘he wants to buy as many explosives as possible because, ‘we’re going to war.’’’
