UK: How We Want to Stop Radical Islam
by Irfan Al-Alawi

The most important issue is the
proposed mosque's patronage by Tablighi Jamaat [TJ], a group based on the
radical doctrines of the Deobandi sect, which inspires the Taliban and other
terrorist groups.
Deobandis, the progenitors of TJ,
have been fighting for control of the British Muslim Community. TJ has made
clear that its interest is not that of serving the Muslims' spiritual needs,
but of creating a Western European base.
Since the time of the Prophet
Muhammad, Muslims who emigrate to non-Muslim lands have been called on to
accept the laws and customs of the country to which they move. British Muslims
have stood up in the past against the proposed TJ mega-mosque; they have a
duty to protect their community and the broader society in which they live by
repudiating all extremist doctrines, and by repairing conflicts with their
non-Muslim neighbours.

Anti-radical Muslims must break their silence to oppose the revived for
building a Tablighi Jamaat [TJ] mega-mosque in the West Ham neighbourhood of
London. Mobilisation against the mega-mosque should include Muslims of all
interpretations who are moderate, traditional, conventional and even
conservative, in all locations where TJ is active. TJ cadres are mainly present
in South Asia, the United Kingdom, Western Europe, Southeast Asia, and North
America.
The mega-mosque proposal had been perceived as ruled out of
consideration after Newham Council, which governs the borough in which West
Ham is located, rejected the application for its construction in December
2012. The previous year, Newham Council had heard and turned down a petition
for placement of a mosque at the site.
PA Donors' Money Promised to Hamas

In view of the prospect that US
money will soon go to Hamas personnel via the PA, the US Congress has every
right to stop that financial aid. We still think, however, that it would be
smarter to condition such aid money on a Palestinian commitment to remove all
the rockets from Gaza under international supervision. Getting rid of those
rockets would revolutionize the prospect of advances in negotiations between
Israel and the Palestinians.
Imagine the prestige that would
accrue to Secretary of State John Kerry if, within his term of office, the US
succeeded in removing rockets from Gaza as well as chemical weapons from
Syria.

A previous article pointed out that the new Palestinian "unity
government," since it rules Gaza as well as the West Bank, has made
itself responsible for the existence of thousands of rockets in Gaza that are
aimed at Israel. At the very least, the article argued, all aid money going
to the Palestinian Authority [PA] should now be made conditional on a commitment
of that government to surrender all those rockets to international control.
The elimination of Syria's chemical weapons provides an obvious model.
Now it has emerged that the entire personnel of the Hamas regime in Gaza
is about to be put on the PA payroll. According to a report in YNet News:
