Rusin May 24, 2010 http://www.meforum.org/2661/defeating-nonviolent-jihad (includes an audio recording of this talk) Send RSS Share: David J. Rusin is director of Islamist Watch, the Middle East Forum's project dedicated to combating the infiltration of nonviolent radical Islam throughout the West. On May 24, he addressed the Middle East Forum via conference call on the subject of nonviolent jihad. Mr. Rusin began his talk by pointing out that all forms of jihad against the West have a common aim: namely, the destruction of the liberal democratic order and the establishment of Shari'a law. Specifically, there are two types of such jihad: violent and nonviolent. Nonviolent (or "stealth") jihad attempts to insinuate Shari'a into Western society through, inter alia, the government, courts, and media. According to Mr. Rusin, two distinct trends have emerged recently vis-à-vis the success of nonviolent jihad. The worrying trend has been the proliferation of censorship when free speech is vital to defeat radical Islam. Examples of such self-censorship include Comedy Central's removal of any image or mention of Muhammad in an episode of South Park, and the omission of any discussion of Islam in reports on the Fort Hood massacre, despite the fact that Major Hasan described himself on business cards as a "soldier of Allah." However, Mr. Rusin pointed out that there has also been growing resistance to Islamization, particularly in Europe. For example, a referendum in Switzerland has led to a ban on the construction of minarets being adopted as part of the Swiss constitution. Although there has generally been a divide between the attitudes of the political elite and those of the ordinary people until recently, the mainstream parties are increasingly responding to concerns about Islam, as evidenced by the advance of legislation to ban niqabs and burqas, which constitute security threats and are symbolic of separatism, in Belgium and France. Mr. Rusin concluded his talk by emphasising that while violent jihad can never be fully controlled by a counterterrorism strategy, nonviolent jihad can only make progress when we allow it to. Hence, though it can appear daunting to fight radical Islam in light of developments such as the Iranian nuclear program, nonviolent jihad can be fought by taking action even on a local level (e.g., complaining about indoctrination in schools).

Sharia Law for Non-Muslims Chapter 2

Sharia Law for Non-Muslims - Chapter 2

May 31, 2010

What is Sharia?

Sharia law is Islamic law. Sharia is the basis for every demand that Muslims
make on our society. When schools are asked to give up a room for Islamic prayer,
that is asking us to implement Sharia law. When a Muslim wears a head scarf,
that is in obedience to Sharia law. When our newspapers would not publish the
Danish Mohammed cartoons, our newspapers were submitting to the demands of Sharia
law. When demands are made for our hospitals to treat Muslim women in special
ways, that is Sharia. When our textbooks have to be vetted by Muslim organizations
before they are used in our schools, that is in accordance with Sharia law.

The attack on the World Trade Center was done in adherence to the rules of
war, jihad, found in Sharia law. Sharia law is the basis for the religious,
political and cultural life of all Muslims.

Sharia law is being implemented more and more in America and yet there is no
knowledge about what Sharia actually is since public, private or religious schools
do not teach it.

THE GOOD NEWS

The easiest way to learn about Islam is through Sharia law. Through learning
about Sharia you are introduced to the Koran and Mohammed in a practical manner.
It is easy to learn when you can see the direct application and examples.

When you know Sharia, Islam suddenly makes sense, it all fits together. Most
people think Islam is complicated or even impossible to understand, but when
you understand its principles, Islam is very, very logical. It is based on different
views of humanity, logic, knowledge, and ethics. Once you understand the principles
and logic, you not only can explain what and why something is happening, but
you will be able to predict the next step in the process.

UNDERSTANDING THE REFERENCE NUMBERS

Before you can understand Sharia, you have to learn about three books that
are the basis of Sharia.

Each ruling or law in Sharia is based on a reference in the Koran or the Sunna,
the perfect example of Mohammed (found in two texts-Hadith and Sira). Each and
every law in Islam must come from the Koran and the Sunna.

We know the Sunna by knowing about the personal details of Mohammed's life.
We know how he cleaned his teeth and which shoe he put on first. We know the
Sunna because we have the Sira and the Hadith.

You probably think that the Koran is the bible of Islam. Not true. The bible
of Islam is the Koran, the Sira and the Hadith. These three texts can be called
the Trilogy.

The Koran is a small part, only 14% of the total words, of the doctrine that
is Islam. The text devoted to the Sunna is 86% of the total textual doctrine
of Islam. Islam is 14% Allah and 86% Mohammed.

Sharia is nothing more than a condensation and extrapolation of the Koran and
the Sunna. Therefore, it is impossible to understand the Sharia without some
understanding about the doctrine found in the Koran, Hadith and the Sira. Turn
to any page after this chapter and you will find that most of the paragraphs
have an index number.

The classic Sharia law text is the Reliance of the Traveller, N. Keller,
Amana Publications. (Yes, the correct spelling is Traveller with a double l.)
It is a 1,200 page book devoted to such subjects as: political control of non-Muslims,
prayer, jihad, wills and estates, punishment, court rules, and land use. It
covers legalities and theology.

Here is a typical paragraph:

08.0 APOSTACY FROM ISLAM

08.1 When a person who has reached puberty and is sane, voluntarily
apostatizes from Islam, he deserves to be killed.



[Bukhari 9,83,17] Mohammed: “A Muslim who has admitted that there
is no god but Allah and that I am His prophet may not be killed except for
three reasons: as punishment for murder, for adultery, or for apostasy.”

The o8.1 is an index number in the Sharia law text, The Reliance of
the Traveller. The text is divided into divisions, a, b, c, ... This particular
law is found in division o; section 8; subsection 1. With the index number,
o8.1, you can read the source, The Reliance of the Traveller.

We not only have the law, apostates (people who leave Islam) should be killed,
but we have the supporting doctrine found in a hadith, a sacred text used along
with the Koran. A hadith is what Mohammed did or said. This particular hadith
is by Bukhari, the major collector of Mohammed's stories. Notice the index number--9,83,17.
This is like a chapter and verse index so that you can go and read the original.
All of the Hadith, including Bukhari, can be found on many university Internet
sites.

Here is a Sharia law supported by the Koran:

09.0 JIHAD

Jihad means war against Kafirs to establish Islam.

Koran 2:216 You are commanded to fight although you dislke it. You may
hate something that is good for you, and love something that is bad for you.
Allah knows and you do not.

Here we have the Sharia defining what jihad is and then gives its foundational
reference for the authority. Again, you can verify the accuracy of the Koran
verses and the original reference, 09.0, in the Reliance of the Traveller.

There is one last type of reference to a supporting document.

DEALING WITH A REBELLIOUS WIFE

m10.12 When a husband notices signs of rebelliousness...

Ishaq969 ... Men were to lay injunctions on women lightly for they were prisoners
of men and had no control over their persons.

Here we have the usual Sharia reference number, m10.12, which allows
you to read the original reference. The Ishaq index number, 969, is a
margin note reference that allows you to look in the Sira (Mohammed's biography-The
Life of Muhammad, A. Guillaume) and verify the truth of the reference.



BELIEVABLE AND AUTHORITATIVE

This is fact-based knowledge based upon critical thought and analysis. What
you see here can all be independently verified for yourself.

This is a very different approach than asking a Muslim or an "expert"
in the media. If a Muslim or any expert says something about Islam that disagrees
with the Koran or Sunna, then the expert is wrong. If the expert says something
that agrees with Koran or Sunna, then the expert is right, but redundant.

Once you know Koran and Sunna, you don't need anybody else.

POLTICAL ISLAM

The largest part of the Trilogy is not about how to be a good Muslim. Instead
most of the text is devoted to the unbeliever. The Koran devotes 64% of its
total words to the unbeliever and the Trilogy, as a whole, devotes 60% of its
text to the unbelievers.

Islam is NOT a religion. It is a complete civilization with a detailed political
system, religion and a legal code-the Sharia. Mohammed preached the religion
of Islam for 13 years in Mecca and got 150 Arabs to convert to Islam. He went
to Medina and became a politician and a war-lord. After 2 years in Medina, every
Jew was murdered, enslaved, or exiled. He was involved in an event of violence
on the average of every 6 weeks for the last 9 years of his life. Mohammed died
without a single enemy left standing.

This was not a religious process, but a political process. Jihad is political
action with a religious motivation. Political Islam is the doctrine that deals
with the non-Muslim.

Mohammed did not succeed with his program of religion, but his political process
of jihad triumphed. Sharia law is the political implementation of the Islamic
civilization.

The political nature of Islam is what creates the major difference between
Sharia and Jewish religious law, halaka. Jewish law has nothing to say
about non-Jews and explicitly says that the law of the land trumps halaka.

Sharia has a lot to say about Kafirs and how they are to be treated, subjugated
and ruled. Sharia claims political supremacy over the Constitution.

There is nothing good for non-Muslims in the Sharia. This is why every unbeliever
has a reason to know Sharia law, especially those in politics, policy, regulation
and legal matters. Sharia law is about the unbeliever as well as the Muslim.
Islam's attitudes and actions about unbelievers are political, not religious.

Even though Sharia violates every principle of our Constitution, it is being
implemented today, since Islam is seen as only as a religion.

MUSLIMS AND SHARIA

Non-Muslims call Muslims that seem nice, moderate Muslims. This use of the
word "moderate" is not based on Islam.

A moderate Muslim is one who follows the Sharia. As much as they follow the
Sharia, they are a Muslim. To the degree they don't follow the Sharia, they
are a failure at being a Muslim.

The Sharia is based on the perfect, unchanging Koran and Sunna. Therefore,
the Sharia is perfect and unchanging. If every Muslim in the world wanted to
change a single letter of the Koran, the Sunna or the Sharia, they could not.
How can perfection be improved? How can an eternal text be changed? Since the
Sharia is nothing more than a codification of perfect, unchanging, universal
texts, it is a perfect, unchanging and universal legal code.

TECHNICAL DETAILS

If you read something in this book and want to know more, most paragraphs have
an index number. You can look it up.

Koran 1:2 is a reference to the Koran, chapter 1, verse 2.

Ishaq 123 is a reference to Ishaq's Sira, margin note 123.

[Bukhari 1,3,4] is a reference to Sahih Bukhari, volume 1, book 3, number 4.
(Sahih means authoritative and authentic.)

[Muslim 012, 1234] is a reference to Sahih Muslim, book 12, number 1234.

Maldives: Man Attacked, Threatened with Death, for
Freedom of Conscience

Responsible for Equality And Liberty (R.E.A.L.)
http://www.realcourage.org/2010/05/mohamed-nazim/

In the Muslim-majority nation of Maldives, a man stunned
an audience during questions and answers period in a lecture
given by an Islamic cleric, by stating that he had chosen freedom of
conscience not to follow Islam. The man, Mohamed Nazim, was promptly
attacked, taken into custody, and has been threatened with death and
beheading, or other punishments for choosing
his freedom of conscience. Maldives media are reporting that it is
the first time in many hundreds of years that a Maldivian has publicly
renounced Islam, since Sultan
King Hassan IX converted to Christianity in 1552 and was deposed.

The Maldives
constitution mandates that all citizens of Maldives must be
Muslims. A December 2009 study showed the Maldives (with a 99 percent
literacy rate) to be in the
top 5 percent of the worst nations for religious freedom. It is a
nation that has been
building its criminal law based on Sharia law, and whose Parliament
bans non-Islamic houses of worship. There have been repeated
reports
on Maldives government publicly
whipping of women and the Maldives is in the bottom
rankings of nations with a global gender gap.

The Maldives is also a nation that, on May 13, 2010,
was elected to be part of the United Nations Human Rights Council
(UNHRC).

The Haveeru
newspaper reported that Mohamed Nazim came up to ask a question of Islamic cleric
Zakir Naik, stating "Dr Zakir Naik. I am a Maldivian. I am still
struggling to believe in religion. That is why I just came to the front
of this row. I was born a Maldivian. My parents taught me the religion
of Islam. They are good practitioners, actually. I read a lot of
books. I have read the translation of Quran. Yet, I still do not
believe in a religion. So what do you say, [about] my verdict in
Islam?"

(left/standing), who declared his atheist status to the public,
questions Dr Zakir Naik during the Q&A session. (Photo: Maldives
Haveeru Newspaper)

Islamic cleric Zakir
Naik asked "are you a Muslim?" and Mohamed Nazim replied "I am not." Zakir Naik has a
long history of calling for the death penalty for "apostates" in
both Muslim majority nations and other parts of the world.

The Haveeru
newspaper reported that Zakir Naik responded by stating: "according
to Prophetic traditions, every child is born as a Muslim and that a
Muslim is one who submits his/her will to God. In Islam, death penalty
should not necessarily be evoked on every person who leaves Islam, but
to those who propagate the non-Islamic faith and speak against Islam, he
added."

The Haveeru
newspaper report states that his question "sparked comments of
hatred from an angry crowd of around 11,000 with many calling to kill
him and attack him, while Naik was answering the question. Several
people rushed towards Nazim, who was sitting at a back row after moving
away from the microphone, as an official of the Islamic Ministry tried
to escort him out. Police, however, came between Nazim and the crowd
and escorted him into custody." The Haveeru
newspaper report also stated that a crowed gathered outside the
police station and demanded that Mohamed Nazim be handed over to the
crowd. The Haveeru
newspaper report stated that "They shouted anti-atheism slogans
and called for Nazim's beheading."

In a separate report, the Haveeru
newspaper stated that Maldives Islamic Ministry would arrange for
religious "counseling" for Mohamed Nazim while he is in custody.

Another
report by the Haveeru newspaper stated how Maldives lawyers felt
that Mohamed Nazim deserved such counseling before receiving the death
penalty or other punishments, stating that: "While some local lawyers
claim Nazim is eligible for punishment both by Maldives laws and Islamic
Shari'a, others argue only Shari'a could be evoked on him. Mohamed
Ibrahim Waheed, a defense lawyer said Nazim must first be counseled
giving him the chance to repent before considering capital punishment.
'First, he should be counseled. If he does not take the advice and
repent, the penalty stated in Shari'a should be evoked on him.
According to Shari'a, the punishment for apostasy is death,' he said.
Waheed further argued that Nazim could be charged under the Religious
Unity Act, for disrupting the religious unity of the country. A state
prosecutor who wished to remain anonymous said Nazim could be
prosecuted for legal disobedience."

The Maldives
newspaper Minivan News reports that a Maldives Islamic group is
calling for the death of Mohamed Nazim. Minivan
News reports that "The Islamic Foundation has called for
self-declared apostate Mohamed Nazim to be stripped of his citizenship
and sentenced to death if he does not repent and return to
Islam...Today the Islamic Foundation of the Maldives issued a press
statement calling on judges to give Nazim the opportunity to repent
'and if he does not, then sentence him to death as Islamic law and
Maldivian law agree.' ''The Islamic Foundation believes that the
person who announces apostasy should be punished according to Islamic
laws,' the NGO said, warning that Nazim represented 'a disturbance to
the religious views and the religious bonds that exist with
Maldivians.' 'Hereby if this man does not do his penance and come back
to the Islamic religion, the Islamic Foundation of the Maldives calls
to take the citizenship away from this man as mentioned in the
Maldivian constitution.' If case crossed into areas not covered by the
laws of the country, 'then the judges should rely on Islamic law,' the
NGO stated, as per article 142 of constitution which says judiciary
shall look into Islamic shar'ia on matters not covered in law, and
sentence accordingly." Malaysian
Miadhu news also reported on such calls for the death of Mohamed
Nazim in their
story "Islamic Foundation calls on death sentence for Nazim, if not
repented "

According to the constitution
of Maldives, "The judges are independent, and subject only to the
constitution and the law. When deciding matters on which the
Constitution or the law is silent, judges must consider Islamic
Shari'ah."

The speaker
at the Maldives event that Mohamed Nazim
attended, Zakir Naik, has a long history of calling for violence
against those who choose their universal human right of freedom of
conscience and leave Islam. Religious supremacist Zakir Naik has
repeatedly called for denying human beings their universal human rights
of freedom of conscience, calling those who leave Islam as
"traitors." The London
Times has quoted Zakir Naik as stating that "People who change
their religion should face the death penalty."

In a widely broadcast
video, Zakir Naik has called for the death penalty for those who
leave Islam and promote another religion as "apostates." In the broadcast,
Zakir Naik states "if a Muslim becomes a non-Muslim and propagates
his/her new religion, then it is as good as treason. There is a 'death
penalty' in Islam for such a person. In many countries, the
punishment for treason is also death. If an army general discloses his
army's secrets to another country, then there is a 'death penalty' or
life imprisonment for such a person according to the laws of most of
the countries. In the
broadcast, Zakir Naik also states that the death penalty for leaving
Islam ("apostasy") should also apply to "non-Muslim countries." Zakir Naik also
challenges other "Islamic scholars" who believe in such death
penalty for "apostates" to extend such defiance of religious freedom not
just to Muslim majority nations, but to the entire world. Zakir Naik
states "If these scholars are really righteous people then they must
welcome their own principle (of death for apostates) in the non-Muslim
countries as well."

Zakir Naik has also
reportedly stated that women must cover themselves, and reject
"revealing Western dress," or they are "susceptible to rape." Zakir
Naik is infamously
known for his defense of Osama Bin Laden and stating that "every Muslim
should be a terrorist."

Zakir Naik has recently been given
permission to give a tour and speak on his interpretation of Islam
throughout the United Kingdom.

===================================

Responsible for Equality And
Liberty (R.E.A.L.) promotes freedom of religion and freedom of
conscience as our
unqualified, universal human rights. We challenge those who deny
such universal human rights, including
the right to change one's religion as defined in Article 18 of the
Universal Declaration of Human Rights.

Article
18 of the UDHR reads: "Everyone has the right to freedom of thought,
conscience and religion; this right includes freedom to change his
religion or belief, and freedom, either alone or in community with
others and in public or private, to manifest his religion or belief in
teaching, practice, worship and observance."

Turkey Attacks Israel Does The Ottoman Empire Want to Lead the Caliphate? by Phyllis Chesler NewsRealBlog May 31, 2010 http://www.phyllis-chesler.com/784/turkey-attacks-israel Send Comment RSS Share: Excerpt: One may describe Hitler as a "vegetarian" (which he apparently was) but he was still a genocidally exterminationist Jew-hater whose relentless racism and imperial ambitions led to the death of more than 60 million people. One may also describe the Turks on board the "freedom flotilla" (Orwell himself could not have suggested a better logo) as "humanitarian activists." But they are still pro-terrorist Turkish jihadists whose mission was to kill Jews, one way or the other. This was a mission which aimed to further demonize the already shamefully tarnished reputation of the Jewish state. This mission planned to force a violent confrontation; were Israeli soldiers to dare defend themselves and if Muslims are therefore martyred—even better public relations, even better for international lawfare against the Israel.

IFPS-Canada and Free Thinking Society presents BAT YE'OR

Born in Cairo, Bat Ye’or found asylum in London as a stateless refugee in 1957 and became British on marriage, settling in Switzerland. Since 1971 she has written five books and scores of articles on non-Muslims under Islam, including The Decline of Eastern Christianity under Islam: From Jihad to Dhimmitude, Islam and Dhimmitude: Where Civilizations Collide, and Eurabia: The Euro-Arab Axis, which described the gradual transformation of Europe into "Eurabia". A highly sought-after speaker, she has presented at dozens of international conferences and symposiums, and given briefings to government legislatures, including the U.S. Congress. Sam Solomon, a convert to Christianity and an expert on Islam, is a senior lecturer and research coordinator, a human rights activist and an advisor to British as well as European parliamentarians. Sam has authored a number of thought-provoking books and numerous articles on Christian Muslim relations. “The extraordinary researches of Bat Ye’or on the Euro-Arab Dialogue, and on the growing ‘dhimmitude’ (status of submission) exhibited by the leaders and rulers of Western Europe toward Islam, have been for me an amazing revelation, one that at first I wished to deny myself, but her evidence proved overwhelming.” La Forza della Ragione -Oriana Fallaci “Bat Ye’or has traced a nearly secret history of Europe over the past thirty years, convincingly showing how the Euro-Arab Dialogue has blossomed from a minor discussion group into the engine for the continent’s Islamization. In delineating this phenomenon, she also provides the intellectual resources with which to resist it. Will her message be listened to?” -Daniel Pipes No writer has done more than Bat Ye’or to draw attention to the menacing character of Islamic extremism. Future historians will one day regard her coinage of the term ‘Eurabia’ as prophetic. Those who wish to live in a free society must be eternally vigilant. Bat Ye’or vigilance is unrivalled.” -Niall Ferguson “Such a Euroarabian identity is dangerous for the Jewish people. Here I agree with Bat Ye’or’s argument that Europe has been engaged in a self-capitulation to Islamist demands in the name of a misconceived multiculturalism.” -Robert Wistrich “Bat Ye’or is one of the only analysts in the world with the courage and insight necessary to state clearly what is happening in Europe today. Her account of the betrayal by the European powers of their own identity and history will stand for future historians as a cautionary tale of cultural suicide.” -Robert Spencer Don't miss Bat Ye'or and Sam Solomon on the Michael Coren Show.
