Hate them Jews!Photo by: Great BeyondIt happens all the time. I'll write, "Muslims are a threat to civilization," or "We should deport all Muslims," and some intellectual giant will comment, "Just substitute Jews in place of Muslims and you'll see how your remarks are no different than those of anti-Semites." I suppose when I swap the words I am expected...

Meet Majaaz the MuslimBy Jawed Naqvi, Dawn, May 1, 2008IN India's Brahminised concept of secularism it was inevitable that a little noticed five-rupee postal stamp issued on March 28 to celebrate the anti-imperialist, anti-capitalist Urdu poet Asraar ul Haq Majaaz showed his handsome visage superimposed on the picture of a mosque.The fact is that Majaaz, a renowned romantic and agnostic, had as little to do with a mosque as his contemporaries like Faiz and Josh or Ghalib and Mir who preceded them by well over a century. But the dominant semi-official formula — Urdu equals Muslims equals mosques — is not unique to India alone.Early protagonists of Pakistan fell into the trap until Bangladesh happened and, at great cost, showed up their mistake. However, even if for the

Michelle Malkin presents a new feature on her blog - listing things that Muslims don't like.

At a recent conference held in Tehran which brought together Muslims from both African and other parts of the world, several African leaders complained that Asian Muslims are prejudiced against them.

We have too many weak, pathetic, stupid and ignorant Muslims nowadays! :-(Apostasy is no small matter! The following Fatwa (No 85488) issued by IslamWeb Dot Net on the subject of apostasy on the 27th of January 2003 should make it very clear:Praise be to Allah, the Lord of the Worlds; and may His blessings and peace be upon our Prophet Muhammad and upon all his Family and Companions.

Historically, France has been home to Muslims due to its colonies in North Africa and the constant movement back and forth of commerce or students.

France [...]

Debbie Almontaser had her career derailed following an organized campaign to smear her reputation when she attempted to establish an Arabic school. The anti-Msulim group succeeded in eliminating her role in the school, which has since opened.American Muslims and Muslim immigrants are facing an insidious campaign by a well-organized and dedicated group of extremists to deny them their right to become active participants in American society. These efforts are not directed at radical Muslims determined to wage jihad on the United States, but law-abiding, peaceful Muslims who see America as the future for their children and grandchildren. And Muslims are allowing it to happen. Andrea Elliott capsulizes for The New York Times pretty much what people like Daniel Pipes and others have written for

Ed HusainSince 9/11 being an “Islamic expert” has developed into a thriving cottage industry. People with absolutely no formal training in Islam pass themselves off as “Islamic scholars.” Non-Muslims in particular have found a way to earn a living getting paid for speaking engagements and writing articles about the “Muslim problem.” Usually a non-Muslim identifying himself as an Islamic scholar or expert is usually, with few exceptions, anti-Muslim to the core. Rather than using their “expertise” objectively (and scholarly), they prefer to preach of the dangers of Islam to non-Muslims. The latest manifestation of the so-called Islamic scholar are the repentant sinners who engaged in religious extremism, then discover the errors of their ways and now join the lecture circui

The following Fatwa issued on the 18th of September 2003 by IslamWeb Dot Net is dedicated especially to those ignorant Muslims (some of them are well known bloggers) who frowned upon the idea of establishing an Islamic State:Praise be to Allah, the Lord of the Worlds; and may His blessings and peace be upon our Prophet Muhammad and upon all his Family and Companions.The establishment of the Islamic State (Caliphate) is an obligation on all Muslims. With the existence of an Islamic State, Shariah (Islamic law) will be put to practice on the earth, justice and equity will be guaranteed, good will be enjoined and evil will be forbade. These requirements are immensely needed in every place and time.So how can it be thought that it is the duty of the Prophets only?It is true that the Prophets a

They didn’t piggy ride some old Russian junk spaceships like what Malaysia has done recently. Now, Chinamen in motherland China are gearing up for the Olympics, the biggest sports event in the whole wide world!I’m sure that Chinamen no matter where they are in the world at the moment are mighty proud of their accomplishments but let me ask you Muslims and Malays out there, where the hell are we today?Let me guess, we are still fighting like idiots over stupid matters with each other!Anwar Ibrahim, Mahathir, Abdullah Ahmad Badawi and Najib; you people are wasting our precious time.

Muslim "scholars" have decided there is yet another way to implement their Global Caliphate. Insisting that "Mecca is the center of the world's land" they want to change the reference point for world time from Greenwich, England to... where else but Mecca. They have even invented the Mecca watch. Muslims balk at what they feel is the Western world inflicting Greenwich upon them. In fact these inbred thinking "scholars" even want to discard Western maps. More here and here.

The terrible insults of the Catholic Church and Pope Benedict XVI by HBO talk show host Bill Maher reminded me of the recent mini-debate here by Farhana Ali and Jeffrey Breinholt over the reaction in the Muslim world over the re-publication of cartoons depicting Mohammed is a way that Muslims deem offensive.

Note:The following article was first published on the 1st of August 2007THE QUR’AN AND THE RULE OF THE (MALE) IMAMThe Qur’an has delivered a stern warning concerning the choice of a ruler: “One day We shall call together all human beings with their Imam (i.e., ruler). . . “ (Qur’an, al-Isra, 17:71). The word Imam, when used in the Qur’an as well as in everyday language, refers to the ruler who rules, governs or leads. The Qur’an also uses the word Imam to mean a way or a book which leads or guides. However, in the context of the Last Day and of divine judgment over all of mankind, it would be irresponsible for anyone to exclude the meaning of the ruler who rules, governs or leads for the word Imam in the above verse of the Qur’an. Justice (as well as elementary common sense

Muslim and Malay Brothers and Sisters especially those in PAS, please monitor this video channel known as ‘Muslims For Jesus’ on YouTube. Take note that the video channel mentioned earlier was set up on May 7th 2007 and its main purpose is none other than to spread Christianity to Muslims all over the world. Sure, we have lots of such sites in the online world but this particular video channel already has a few disturbing videos questioning our rights to protect our religion here in Malaysia.Please watch out for the above mentioned video channel from time to time. I have a feeling that it will have more disturbing videos challenging Islam and Muslims in Malaysia in the near future.The following Fatwa (No 85488) was issued by IslamWeb Dot Net on the subject of apostasy on the 27th of Ja

Take a look at what John McCain had to say in response to criticisms of his confusing Sunni and Shiite Muslims for the fifth time: That's right. Here's what he said, word for word (emphasis mine): I've been to Iraq eight times, I know the leaders, I know the situation on the ground. I know that Sunni and Al-Qaeda are closely tied. Wow. John McCain just insinuated that the Sunni branch of Islam - the largest of the sects - can be identified with Al-Qaeda, and by extension, all Sunni Muslims are closely tied with Al-Qaeda. That's a pretty horrible misstatement, akin to saying Protestant Christianity is closely tied with the KKK, or the Irish heritage is closely tied with the IRA. The fact that John McCain would basically call millions of Muslims terrorists is appalling. This is the guy we'r

Muslim and Malay Brothers & Sisters, some of you may have seen the following video featuring a report that gave bad pictures about Islam here in Malaysia. For the sake of all Muslims, I’m going to feature it here on this blog to remind everybody that Islam is under attack at this very moment.I foresee that we would have more attacks on Islam here in Malaysia in the next 50 years and Muslims out there should be more cautious and remain extra vigilant especially after the recent 2008 Malaysian General Election. They know that Muslims and Malays are now in a state of confusion and chaos and they feel that this is the best time to hit us Muslims with everything they got in and outside the country.Once again I call upon all Muslims and Malays in Malaysia to stop fighting with each other.

President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono has asked Muslims in the country to take Islamophobia in the world in stride. Speaking at a function to commemorate the Prophet Muhammad`s birthday at the Kanzus Shalawat Mosque in Pekalongan, Central Java, on Wednesday, the president said the world feared Islam or was gripped by Islamophobia because it had misunderstood Islam. "Many people think that Islam is not preaching justice and harmony," the president said. Therefore, the head of state called on Muslims in the country to face Islamophobia in a rational way by building good understanding, dialog and cooperation. "Face what is unpleasant in a broad-minded way and try to show that Islam is a religion of peace which teaches love and harmony to its followers," Yudhoyono said. The president

Catholics--1.13 Billion or 17.4% of the worlds populationMuslims--1.3 Billion or 19.2% of the worlds populationFor the first time since the birth of Islam, the world sees a demographic shift. I find it fascinating that in the 1400 years since Islam was birthed from the revelations of Mohamed, the tide turns in mine and your lifetime.However, throw protestantism in the mix, and the scale is still heavy on the Christianity end, unless you are one of those who believes that Catholicism is an apostate, non-Christian cult. But for the two groups with a bitter history, this is monumental. Some wonder if the recent conversion and baptism of Magdi Allam is a public statement that tide may change once again.What does it mean? It means somewhere, this information has spooked someone to the point

To avoid charges of Racism, Bigotry and Islamophobia, many commentators when criticising Islam try to ameliorate the sting of their remarks by closing their arguments with the meaningless phrase, "Of course not all Muslims are terrorists," as if one can easily look into the heart and soul of our Muslim guests and immigrants and easily distinguish one from the other....

Islam has overtaken Roman Catholicism as the biggest single religious denomination in the world, the Vatican said on Sunday.Monsignor Vittorio Formenti, who compiled the Vatican's newly-released 2008 yearbook of statistics, said Muslims made up 19.2 percent of the world's population and Catholics 17.4 percent."For the first time in history we are no longer at the top: the Muslims have overtaken us," Formenti told Vatican newspaper L'Osservatore Romano in an interview, saying the data referred to 2006.He said that if all Christian groups were considered, including Orthodox churches, Anglicans and Protestants, then Christians made up 33 percent of the world's population -- or about 2 billion people.The Vatican recently put the number of Catholics in the world at 1.13 billion people.

Without reading too much into these new numbers, what is increasingly apparent and more urgent is for the Ummah to reach out to other religions to begin a serious campaign of dialogue to foster tolerance and peace. Given that Muslims now make up 19.2 percent of the world's population comes the responsibility to be more active in finding solutions to deal with the many religious conflicts around the globe. By the same token, Christians and Jews need to recognize their moral responsibility to do a better job of creating goodwill with Muslims.That means that Saudi King Abdullah's proposal for a series of interfaith conferences to include all religions needs to be taken seriously. Given Saudi Arabia's spotty human rights record it will take a lot of work to get Christian nations to commit reso

Mosque in Lodi, Calif.While there are checks and balances to ensure that children are properly home-schooled, I can't think of a worse idea than keeping your kids home and giving them your own version of an education. It's particularly troublesome for children of immigrant families where socialization and assimilation into society is vital. That's why I am troubled by Neil MacFarquhar's report in the New York Times of Muslim parents home-schooling their children to avoid bigotry in the classroom and to maintain their cultural and religious values. Of course families should instill cultural and religious values in their children. But while I agree that there is much to worry about with today's pre-teens dressing provocatively and demonstrating a lack of respect toward their parents, home-s

A protest against Denmark in Yemen.Saudi Gazette columnist Sabria Jawhar poses some interesting questions about the Danish boycott over the cartoons of the Prophet Muhammad. She argues that if Muslims are willing to boycott Danish goods, why not consider boycotting goods and services that “aid and abet” the slaughter of Muslims in Iraq, Afghanistan and the Palestinian Occupied Territories. She suggests that Muslims should consider avoiding purchasing vehicles made by US automakers that send vehicles to Iraq to aid the war effort and foodmakers that help feed US military personnel.

A number of recently conducted surveys of those who claimed to have left Islam (to become Christians, or a follower of any other religion or to become atheists) showed that about 95% of them left Islam out of sheer ignorance, giving various misinformed judgements.

Geert WildersThanks to the Internet, blogs, our obsession with celebrity and the George Bush-inspired corrosive partisan politics and xenophobia, we are treated to the likes of Geert Wilders. There are so many guys like Wilders, who have paper-thin credentials and a shallow understanding of the world around them. Yet they successfully manage to use hyperbole and fear to garner fame. Wilders' anti-Muslim rants and now his film that purports to expose the evils of Islam have given him more free publicity than any politician could hope for. Does Wilders really believe the tripe he spews about Islam and foreigners in the Netherlands? Probably. But more important is the fact that he has developed a cottage industry of Muslim-hating that has given him international celebrity. There are plenty of

Tony Blair meets with members of the Muslim community.I view studies on social issues conducted by liberal groups with as much skepticism as I do when conservatives perform similar polls and research. But I'm not sure it's necessary for the UK's Daily Mail to identify a group as “liberal” simply because it seeks solutions to overcome the causes of poverty, disadvantage and social evil. Don't conservatives want the same thing?This study examines the alienation Muslm immigrants feel in the UK. Interestingly enough, the study by the Joseph Rowntree Foundation finds that "fewer than 50 per cent of minority members interviewed had experienced race prejudice and just 30 per cent of recent (UK) Muslim immigrants had experienced religious discrimination.” The issue, according to the stu

Sharif Abdel Gawad-BNP candidate found in possession of heroin in December 2007Karl Hanson Drug Dealer Sometimes the depths to which the BNP are willing to sink can surprise even veteran anti-fascists. In their latest assault on Muslim communities, the BNP have started claiming that there is an intrinsic link between “Islam” and the heroin trade. In an interview on the BBC’s Newsnight, Nick Griffin, the BNP leader, accused Muslim immigrants of being responsible for Britain’s hard drugs problems, to which presenter Kirsty Wark responded: "I think there’s a number of people that would dispute that”. Presumably she considered his statement too far beneath contempt to argue with him. As part of their sick and distorted attempt to blame Muslims for the drugs trade, the BNP have i

Substantial majorities in nearly all nations surveyed (95% in Burkina Faso, 94% in Egypt, 93% in Iran, and 90% in Indonesia) say that if drafting a constitution for a new country, they would guarantee freedom of speech, defined as "allowing all citizens to express their opinion on the political, social, and economic issues of the day." However, while acknowledging and admiring many aspects of Western democracy, those surveyed do not

mindless violence continues. skewed media report continues. endless killing of civilians continue. the victims at the Seminary was aged 15 to 26. all people of conscience condemns such act of violence.1.Ibrahim Abdil-Mu’id Ramey, Muslim American Society (MAS) Freedom Civil and Human Rights Director writes: On March 6, 2008, the world received news of yet another tragedy in the ongoing conflict between the Palestinians and Israelis. In an apparent act of revenge, armed Palestinians infiltrated a Rabbinical school in Jerusalem and attacked a group of teenage Jewish students, leaving eight of them dead. They were not combatants, and the act did not take place in self-defense or in the heat of combat.Most of the world, especially in Israel, was stunned and horrified by the killings. But in G

Mustafa got on the bus every morning around 6:00 am and thought about how he was going to support his family as his bus bumped down pot filled holes. Each and every more he made his way to his little shop on a small crime filled street, opened the door, turned on the lights and worked 12-16 hours. He tries to sell as many fruits and vegetables as possible so that he can make his rent payment.Mustafa is not in Afghanistan or Sudan but in the decaying city of Detroit Michigan. Mustafa is not an immigrant but a full-fledged naturalized citizen that was forced to open a small shop because he had little to no other way of making money. Thousands of applications for jobs have returned little or no response despite him holding a bachelor’s degree in engineering. Tough times in the City of Detro

A couple of days ago I answered the call to show jihadis that we honor freedom of speech by reprinting the Muhammad cartoons. There is still more rioting in Denmark now as a result of the cartoons.It turns out that Denmark, and western publications, aren't the only victims of the jihadi effort to censor all references to the prophet Muhammad. Wikipedia also needs our support because they are under fire to remove all images of Muhammad ... to the tune of 180,000 complaints.Guardian:Wikipedia, the free online encyclopedia, is refusing to remove medieval artistic depictions of the Prophet Muhammad, despite being flooded with complaints from Muslims demanding the images be deleted.More than 180,000 worldwide have joined an online protest claiming the images, shown on European-language pages

"What percentage of a culture’s population can hold views that are completely at odds with the culture’s foundational reference points before said culture is irretrievably lost? 15%? 21%? 32%?" ... "Before it’s too late, Western nations should be asking themselves: with moderates like these, who needs extremists?" When observing the cultural existential struggle of the age, it’s hard not to be reminded of the story of the emperor who had no clothes: the citizens were all afraid to be the first to speak up and say something wasn’t right, so they all agreed that the emperor’s clothes were the finest they’d ever seen when he was, in fact, quite obviously, naked. It’s clear our society is in a bit of trouble, but people can’t even talk about it without the same sort of fear f

I have to ask myself if there is anything that does not cause the Muslims in Europe and particularly France to riot and burn cars. The more I hear of Nicolas Sarkozy the more I like him. What possible reason could children benefit from not learning about the holocaust? What Sarkozy has proposed is that each French child learn the life story of one Jewish French child and how they were killed by the Nazis. Moreover, the socialist nanny stater’s in France are saying it will “traumatize” the children. All the while, they are ignoring the same grown children that are rioting in the streets after a lifetime of being taught the socialist agenda. Nicolas Sarkozy is following through on his promises of Americanizing and reforming France and the long established socialists absolutely

Yesterday I blogged about muslims attempting to take down pictures of their invisible friend on wikipedia via petition. Today we got a letter from the head of the number one turkish atheist site which has been stripped from the eyes of Turks twice. Once under the original domain and then again under another domain. Unfortunately, the owner is unable to fight this in court because to do so he would have to identify himself which if you're familiar will end up resulting in his head being chopped off by the peaceful and loving muslims who work for Allah. If you speak Turkish and you are an atheist please support this site...read more

VAST DIFFERENCE BETWEEN ISLAM AND THE ACTUAL PRACTICE OF MUSLIMSIf Islam is the best religion, why are many of the Muslims dishonest, unreliable, and involved in activities such as cheating, bribing, dealing in drugs, etc.?Answer by Dr. Zaakir Naik:1. Media maligns Islam a. Islam is without doubt the best religion but the media is in the hands of the westerners who are afraid of Islam. The media is continuously broadcasting and printing information against Islam. They either provide misinformation about Islam, misquote Islam or project a point out of proportion, if any. b. When any bomb blasts take place anywhere, the first people to be accused without proof are invariably the Muslims. This appears as headlines in the news. Later, when they find that non-Muslims were responsible, it ap

Why are non-Muslims not allowed in the holy cities of Makkah and Madinah?Answer by Dr. Zaakir Naik:It is true that non-Muslims are not allowed in the holy cities of Makkah and Madinah, by law. The following points will serve to elucidate the possible reasoning behind such a restriction.1. All citizens are not permitted in the cantonment areaI am a citizen of India. Yet, I am not permitted to enter certain restricted areas like the cantonment. In every country there are certain areas where a common citizen of that country cannot enter. Only a citizen who is enrolled in the military or those who are connected with the defence of the country are allowed in the cantonment area. Similarly Islam is a Universal Religion for the entire world and for all human beings. The cantonment areas of Islam are the two holy cites of Makkah and Madinah. Here only those who believe in Islam and are involved in the defence of Islam i.e. the Muslims are allowed.It would be illogical for a common citizen to

Hantu Laut "Only Muslims can use Allah".That's probably the most ridiculous thing I have heard in my entire life. 'Allah' is an Arabic name for God used both by Muslim and Christian Arabs.Where does this nitwit Deputy Minister gets the idea that Allah is synonymous with Islam only.He said "We cannot allow this use of "Allah' in non-Muslim publications, nobody except Muslims. The word "Allah' is

In January 2006, during Eid Al-Adha, the Muslim festival of sacrifice, 362 hajjis were trampled to death by fellow co-religionists. How many will die today during the Religion of Peace and Trampling Others to Death?

I have been writing articles for a Muslim site called "Muslims Against Sharia" for the past month or so and just recieved this letter!Dear Allan!Would you please post the following article (HTML code provided) on your website?Thank you in advance,Khalim MassoudPresidentMuslims Against ShariaMany people talk about the need to reform Islam. Now you can stop talking and start helping.With the help of our readers we went through the Koran and removed every verse that we believe did not come from Allah, the Most Merciful, the Most Compassionate. However, it is possible that we missed something, and we could use your help. If you find verses in the reformed version of the Koran that promote violence, divisiveness, religious or gender superiority, bigotry, or discrimination, please let us know the number of the verse and the reason why it should be removed. Please email your suggestions to koran-AT-reformislam.org.When we finish the editing process, we would like to publish Reform Koran in as

The room is now split into male and female sections, and features arrows pointing to Mecca, literature describing proper behavior for women ("They should cover their faces and stay at home... [their speech should not] be such that it is heard") and for all Muslims ("the Jews and the Christians" are described as "the enemies of Allaah's religion.")

With 20 million Muslims around China, it is only in recent years that they have been able to go on the yearly pilgrimage to Mecca, Islam's holiest city, in substantial numbers. Thanks to rising affluence, growing numbers of Chinese Muslims are now able to fulfill their spiritual obligations of performing the Hajj, and this year, a record 10,700 of them are expected to do so. via ShangaiistA record 10,700 Chinese Muslims are expected to make a pilgrimage to Mecca, Saudi Arabia, according to the Islamic Association of China (IAC). China has more than 20 million Muslims, mainly living in Xinjiang, Qinghai, Ganshu, Ningxia, Yunnan, Shaanxi, Inner Mongolia and Henan. Starting in 1985, nearly 100,000 Muslims have fulfilled their pilgrimages. Briefly during the Cultural Revolution, Chinese Muslims were not allowed to attend the Hajj, but this policy was reversed in 1979. Chinese Muslims now attend the Hajj in large numbers, typically in organized groups.. Brief History of Islam in ChinaMany

by Staff Sgt. Amy Parr, Air Force Print News 10/09/01 - WASHINGTON—A new word was introduced at the United Nations Summit on Racism in September - “Islamiphobia,” meaning the fear of Islam and Muslims. This new word represents the fear felt by some who link all people of Islamic faith to the terrorists who hijacked planes and crashed into the World Trade Center, the Pentagon and Pennsylvania. The best way for people to overcome those fears is to be informed, said Chaplain (Capt.) Hamza Al-Mubarak, a Muslim chaplain assigned to the 81st Training Wing, Keesler Air Force Base, Miss. “Ignorance and hate have already cost us thousands of lives,” he said. “Get the information (about Islam) and pass it on to someone you know.” The Quran does not condone acts of terrorism, he said.
