New Accusations of Barack Hussein Obama being Muslim: The case of Taqqiyah-Tree-Jihad

Barack Hussein Plants Tree

The 2008 Presidential election was marred by accusations that Barack Hussein Obama was a “Mooslim,” “Mohammedan” or an “Islamic.”  In response to the accusations, Barack Hussein Obama redundantly pointed out that he had been going to the same Church for almost 20 years and was a committed Christian.  He told Christianity Today, “I am a Christian, and I am a devout Christian.”

Media personality Sean Hannity of Fox News was quoted as stating, “Barack hoped that if he kept repeating that he was a Christian it would be enough to extinguish the facts and questions creeping up about his associations and history as a Mooslim but we are uncovering leads in his Islamicness.”

Hannity is referring to new startling evidence that sheds light on the direct link between Barack Hussein Obama and what some call his “Mohammedan nature.”

 

Islam Not to Blame for Bronx Terror Plot, Ahmed Rehab

A piece on the recent Bronx Terror Plot in Huffington Post by Ahmed Rehab. So is this entrapment? Is Islam at fault? Or are there other pathologies and questions at stake here that are not reflected in the media reports?

Islam Not to Blame for Bronx Terror Plot

Say what you will about the recently exposed Bronx Terror Plot, but please, do not insult our intelligence (and your own) by weaving fantasy scenarios of how Islam is somehow to blame for criminalizing the terror suspects who were already career criminals long before their conversions — and who displayed only a rudimentary understanding of Islam thereafter.

 

Comment of the Week

I usually never allow cursing in the comment section, just a rule, but I found this comment from someone called “Brad,” (no doubt a loser living in his mommy’s basement) quite interesting. He left the comment on my post about Pam Geller. Take a gander!

Fuck all you asshole mooslims.  I can’t wait until we nuke your asses into oblivion!!!

Look at this guys email! LOL. Guy has no balls because he would never say this in the face of a Muslim, he hides behind a computer. It seems he is from Herndon, Va.

Also, this predilection to want to nuke Muslims is a hallmark of Islamophobes:

Steven Emerson: Profile of a Career Hatemonger

An excellent expose by CAIR-Chicago Anti-Hate Center of Steven Emerson, a leading Islamophobe and his attempts to cast aspersions on American Muslims and in this case Civil Rights Director Christina Abraham.

Career Hatemonger Steven Emerson Enraged by CAIR-Chicago’s Positive Social Engagement

Notorious Islamophobe Steven Emerson is at it again.

This time the source of his wrath is Christina Abraham, CAIR-Chicago’s Civil Rights Director.

In a hit piece entitled, “Is This Who We Want Representing U.S. Interests Abroad?” published on his fluff website, “The Investigative Project on Terrorism,” Emerson shows once again why his website had better be called, “The Investigative Project on Mainstream American Muslim Organizations.”

The simple fact is that while Emerson desperately tries to run himself off as a “terrorism expert,” a cursory view of his website quickly reveals that, all too-often, the targets of his so-called investigations and reports are not terrorist groups but mainstream American Muslim organizations like CAIR, MPAC, ISNA, MAS, etc.

I love Cuba and I love Palestine, in this great documentary from Aljazeera they bring both together in an unlikely but beautiful way.

 

European Fascist/Anti-Muslim Party Rapes Translation of Arabic Du’a (prayer) by Tariq Ramadan

I came across this site called EuropeNews which has as its motto “No Tolerance for Intolerance – No Apology for Being Free.” Now off the bat this site seemed a bit strange because they felt the need to verbalize this statement, and sounded a lot like the speel of the anti-Muslim and Islamophobia crowd. Low and behold it is a site affiliated with the VVD and other European neo-Fascist and Nationalist groups.

Anyway they had a little piece where the VVD complained about this du’a that Muslim scholar Tariq Ramadan gave from what seems like must have been the 90’s. They also provide an atrocious translation which prompted me to do another translation even though I have scant time for it, but it pains me to see Arabic abused this way.

Fascist European Party’s (Incomplete/Misleading) Translation:

 

Real Debate About Faith Are Drowned Out by the Atheists’ Foghorn Voices

An interesting article that explores the New Atheists movement made up of the likes of Hitchens and Dawkins and their shrill fundamentalist contribution to the discussion of Faith today. Also touches on the decline of Christianity in Britian and some of the voices that are proposing a different path than the New Atheists.

By Madeleine Bunting, Guardian UK

This is Holy Week. It started yesterday with Palm Sunday and continues through Holy Thursday, Good Friday and culminates this Sunday with Easter Day. One can no longer assume most people will be aware of this, let alone the events these days mark; in a recent UK poll, only 22% could identify what Easter was celebrating. What other system of belief has collapsed at such spectacular speed as British Christianity? One can only presume that the New Atheists are organising a fabulous party to celebrate. Richard Dawkins could stump up for the crates of champagne out of his sumptuous royalties from The God Delusion.

But I’m curious as to how many of the country’s finest minds would join the celebrations. Increasingly, one hears a distaste for the polemics of the New Atheist debate and its foghorn volume, and how it has drowned out any other kind of conversation about religion: what it is, the loss of it, whether it matters, and what happens in a post-religious society?

 

Gates of Vienna vs. The World vs. LGF

Peace to all those who might regularly check out this blog. I have been inactive as far as posting because as Lennon said “Life happens.” I have been thinking about a lot of topics and issues and hopefully will be back soon. 

In the meantime I want everyone to check out this new site that I have joined and will be contributing to: Gates of Vienna vs. The World vs. LGF.  It’s spearheaded by Lex, the Agent of Chaos and The Sphinx who take a satrical look at the absurd world of Anti-Muslim/Islamophobe sphere.  In the words of Lex most of the time the “Posts just write themselves.” LOL.

Recently we’ve been putting Muslims Against Sharia on blast for being a Pam Geller and Joe Kaufman front. Its days are numbered, I wonder how much money they made in the meantime? Rev. Sutter has done a great job in compiling and detailing data on the absurd group: Follow up to (Non)Muslims Against Sharia .

 

The Requirements of Movement and Reform: General Thoughts

Why is it that ideologies that promise to create heaven on earth lead to the creation of hell on earth?

The other way to phrase this question is to state that all those who promise heaven on earth end up dragging people to hell.  It is the story of this malady that is told by Karl Popper in his important work The Open Society and its Enemies and which some “Islamists” may even be tempted to use in critiquing Marxism, as many see in Popper’s work the decimation of Marxism in the same way that Al-Ghazzali knocked out Avicenna and the Philosopher’s.  Yet they should be wary of such a path and instead of grasping it as a sword hold it up to themselves as a mirror of refrain because what is really at stake is the future of Islam and the Muslim peoples. 

I begin like this because the movements of liberation (physical, spiritual, political, economical, philosophical) in the Muslim world, their various trends are based on certain ideas and historical paths that I will come to, some very positive and a few negative.  The one we must address and confront firstly is the challenge offered by what can only be described as those whose sole work and emphasis is centered around the acquisition of power or who (wish to) impose upon a society, rules and laws that they are not ready to bear or for which the context is unapplicable and unsuitable, similar to a gardner watering a seed in the middle of  dead soil.  One must ask: Is this any better, or will this be any better than what came before it?

This mode of thinking is not reform of society and in fact ends up reducing Islam into an ideology, just one more ideology in the market place of ideologies. This narrow boxing-in of Islam in the parameters of ideology betray reform and make the flowing waters of Islam stagnant, muddied like the water of a shallow puddle that blocks the natural running course of water. 

It also surrenders to the concept of infusing Ideologizied Islam into the post-colonial world of un-natural boundaries and nation state power: a recipe for failure.  It shifts from the original pre-occupation of the giant Muslim intellectuals, scholars, scientists, poets, philosophers, righteous men and women who emphasised that what is important is “how to rule” and not the very Platonic question of “who should rule.”

The focus in this group has shifted from that early call of Allamah Iqbal for the Reconstruction of Religious thought in Islam.

 

Melhemet Mitzvah (War of Obligation) Ideology used to Massacre Gazans

Jewish Military Rabbis  throughout the war were teaching that the offensive and massacre of Gaza is a War of Obligation and necessity. I have written about this ideology here.

They are teaching that soldiers shouldn’t worry about the difference between Civilians and Combatants and to discard International Law. They are teaching soldiers to be cruel to all Palestinians. Is this maybe the reason we saw the attacks on the Civilian infrastructure, UN facilities, schools, Universities Mosques, Red Cross ambulances, UN storehouses, hospitals and countless civilians? Is this why we saw the use of White Phosphorous, depleted Uranium, DIME bombs, cluster bombs and other weapons of mass destruction and devestation in contravention to International Law? The IDF soldier is indeed a better equipped terrorist brainwashed by extremist Jewish ideology. If this were a Mufti or Shaykh wouldnt this be top news?
