- Imam Abdullah
Hakim Quick then goes on to connect being gay with Zionism -- his
anti-Semitic sentiments at their best. All this while standing at a
pulpit. If this is not a crime of hate, then what is? Does this imam
have nothing positive to speak about in his sermon, besides
spreading the Islamist agenda of hate and bigotry?
- For years we
have warned of the messages of hate emanating from the pulpit. We
have spoken of the two different messages being given -- one to the
public and one in private.
- Why then do we
act surprised when the Omar Mateens of the world take up arms and
ruthlessly gun down an entire group of gays? This is what they are
being taught by the likes of Imam Quick. They are acting out the
hate that has been instilled in their minds and hearts.

where he gives his answer to the position of Islam on homosexuality:

In the aftermath of the bloodbath created by Omar Mateen at the
Pulse nightclub in Orlando, Florida, a plethora of opinions, ideas and
causes have been spoken about. At the same time, a very disturbing
picture about a specific aspect of this hateful ideology of Islamists has
emerged. In my opinion, there is no doubt that Mateen was an Islamist
influenced by the jihadist agenda of fanatic hate for the gay
communities.
For those of us reform-minded Muslims who have been battling the
rise in radical Islamist agendas for the past decade, this development is
no surprise. In our declaration, we say right at the top:
"We reject bigotry, oppression and violence against all people
based on any prejudice, including ethnicity, gender, language, belief,
religion, sexual orientation and gender expression."

- Pope Francis
might review the decisions of former pontiffs who once organized
resistance against existential threats to Judeo-Christian
Civilization. Several of his predecessors seized the initiative
whenever a weak or divided Europe appeared incapable of defending
itself.
- Pope Francis
also could author an encyclical condemning radical Islam. This would
be wholly within the purview and tradition of the Papacy. Such an
encyclical would mirror in significance Pope Pius XI's "Mit
Brennender Sorge" (With Burning Anxiety) which condemned the
racist supremacy doctrine of the Nazis.
- Some of the
passages in Pius XI's "Divini Redemptoris" (The Divine
Redeemer) could also serve as appropriate criticism of various
tenets of extremist Islam. One example: "Communism aims at
upsetting the social order and undermining the very foundation of
Christian civilization." Another: "Entire peoples find
themselves in danger of falling back into a barbarism worse than
which oppressed the greater part of the world at the coming of the
Redeemer (Roman Empire)."
Pope Francis (left) could begin his review of the
actions of former pontiffs with Pope Saint Leo the Great (right). In 452
A.D., Leo rode out of Rome on horseback to meet Attila the Hun,
persuading him not to invade the Eternal City.
It was uplifting to hear Pope Francis denounce the genocide of the
Armenians in Turkey last week and remind the world that it must never
again happen.
The Vatican has several other options to meet head-on the challenge
of Islamic extremism. Pope Francis could capitalize on his widespread
popularity to combat Jihadi aggression by word, pen, and sword. He might
also review the decisions of former pontiffs who once organized
resistance against existential threats to Judeo-Christian Civilization.

- It is hard to
believe that the party once led by Prime Minister Tony Blair, who
assisted President Bush in leading the war on terror and fighting
expansionist Islamist movements, is now being fought over and led by
a man who voted against banning Al Qaeda as a terrorist
organization.
- The idea that a
single totalitarian Caliphate would bring increased democracy and
stability, let alone civil and political rights, to an increasingly
factional, corrupt and unstable Middle East, appears more a
childlike, logic-defying fantasy.
- Isn't it
usually secular societies that protect the rights of religious
minorities, including Muslims, to practice their faith?
- I am not a Jew,
and I have no links to Judaism. But if being a Jew offends
antisemitic racists, then I am happy to call myself Jew, and to
stand up and be counted with the Jews as a minority facing increased
persecution across Europe.
Labour Party MP Naz Shah (left), was recently
suspended from the party for composing and sharing anti-Semitic tropes.
Labour Party leader Jeremy Corbyn (right), has a tendency to hang around
with Holocaust deniers, anti-Semitic hate-preachers and others of a
similar ilk, and is a self-declared "friend" of the terror
outfits Hamas and Hezbollah.
The UK Labour Party, which once stood proudly in solidarity with the
victims of terrorism, now, under the would-be leadership of Jeremy
Corbyn, seems to have become a haven for anti-Semites, Islamists and
their apologists.
It is hard to believe that the party once led by Prime Minister Tony
Blair, who assisted President Bush in leading the war on terror and
fighting expansionist Islamist movements, is now led by a man who voted
against banning Al Qaeda as a terrorist organization months after more
than 200 people were killed in the 1998 terrorist attacks on the American
embassies in Nairobi and Dar es Salaam.
Jeremy Corbyn alleges that he stands on a platform where "There
is no place for anti-semitism or any form of racism in the Labour Party,
or anywhere in society." He also says that Labour have taken
"decisive action."
