Islam is a Peaceful and Tolerant Religion

Muslims claim that Islam is a peaceful and tolerant religion. The question is how Quran, Muhammad or today’s Muslims define “peace” and “toleration“. Are Sunni suppose to tolerate only Sunni, how about Shia? Is “toleration” to non-Muslims also included? What Osama Bin Laden did was a “peaceful” act? Are Muslims more or less peaceful and tolerant compared to Jains? We wish Muslim-intellectuals will help us explain these words “peace” and “toleration”. Thank you.

Was killing a Sikh guru a peaceful act?

    THE TRUTH OF THE ISLAM BOSTON MASSACRE

    V4852N220 “Allah’s Apostle (Prophet Muhammad) said, “I have been made victorious with terror”

    Quran 3:151 “Soon shall We cast terror into the Hearts of the Unbelievers”

    17th April 2013

    Editorial foreword.

    Jake sent us this article on Wednesday 17th April 2013, within little more than 36 hours of the original bombing.

    We chose not to publish at that time, due to the fact that there was little or no hard evidence to show that the “Boston Bombers” were Jihadists and we did not wish to “jump the gun” on the matter.

    However, as of 19th April the evidence, whilst still not officially confirmed (at the time of writing) is pretty damning: it is clear that the perpetrators were indeed Caucasian (possibly Chechen) Muslims who had become “radicalised” – i.e. had become orthodox believers in Islam – according to their own on-line postings and viewings.

    Thus we want to say: “Sorry Jake.” We should have trusted your insight – we’re just not as prescient as you are.

    THE TRUTH OF THE ISLAM BOSTON MASSACRE

    The greatest myth that’s ever been perpetuated on kafir societies is the myth of the moderate Muslim. We are told that most Muslim men are peaceful, peace-loving people who only want to raise their families in the peaceful peace of Islam. The terrorist acts are being committed by a handful of “evil” Muslim men who are misinterpreting the teachings of the Quran – they are the “Great Misunderstanders” of Islam.

    After 39 attempts since 9/11 to cause catastrophic damage to America, Islam finally succeeded on the 40th attempt: The Boston Massacre. The reality is that we can foil many attacks but all Islam needs to do is succeed once to cause mayhem. Even if 1000 attempted attacks fail, if Islam succeeds on the 1001 attempt then Islam wins and we lose and freedom loses.

    ISLAM IS ISLAM

    THERE IS NO “ISLAMISM”

    THERE ARE NO “ISLAMISTS

    THERE ARE NO JIHADISTS

    IT’S ALL ABOUT ISLAM, STUPID SEE NO EVIL, HEAR NO EVIL, SPEAK NO EVIL, KAFIR

    Yet so many still refuse to see, hear or speak about the evil of Islam.

    We are now been inundated by main stream media elites stating that this was “an Al Qaeda” or “Taliban”, or “Islamist”, attack. Not one of these media outlets are stating that the Boston Massacre was an attack by Islam. The true reality is just that. Sometimes the mental gymnastics to avoid seeing, hearing or saying the truth are fantastic. Who can forget that the Fort Hood massacre has been labeled “work-place violence” – as if it were merely a punch-up? This despite the fact that Nadal was heard screaming “ALLAH AKBAR!” – i.e. “(my) god is greater” (than your god – because I’m killing you). Had 9/11 occurred in 2011 rather than 2001, perhaps the cause would have been labeled “a navigational failure”?

    Islam is not a wonderful religion of peace and love that has been hijacked and perverted by a few bad apples – the evil “Islamo-Fascists” or “Islamic militants” or “Islamic Fundamentalists” or “jihadists” or “Wahhabists” or “radical Islamists” or “political Islamists” etc.

    There has been no hijacking. There has been no perversion. There is no moderate Islam. There is no radical Islam. There is no political Islam. There is no Islamism. Islam is Islam. Again, these Muslims are following EXACTLY the teachings of the Quran and in the divine footsteps of Muhammad as described in the Hadith. IT’S ALL ABOUT ISLAM – STUPID KAFIR.

    Not only this massacre but the 9/11, Ft. Hood Massacre, Mumbai Massacre, Attempted “Christmas Tree bombing” (Portland Oregon), last year’s attempted Detroit Airliner Christmas Day massacre, the failed Times Square car bombing, and all other acts of Terror/Murder carried out by Muslims were executed by Muslim Men obeying to the letter the teaching of Quran 9:111 and all the other of Quranic and Hadith teachings to terrorize and murder kafirs.

    Quran 9:111 “Lo! Allah hath bought from the believers their lives and their wealth because the Garden will be theirs: they shall fight in the way of Allah and shall slay and be slain. It is a promise which is binding on Him in the Torah and the Gospel and the Qur’an. Who fulfilleth His covenant better than Allah? Rejoice then in your bargain that ye have made, for that is the supreme triumph.”

    All these Muslims are not demented mad men who have distorted the teachings of Islam but good, moral, Islamic heroes. They are just God’s warriors obeying God’s divine orders to kill kafirs.

    You cannot understand Islam without comprehending Verse 9:111 and the crimes of Muhammad. http://www.islamreform.net/new-page-183.htm Muhammad invented Islam and created his own God – Allah of the Quran (the anti-God) and then pretended to receive divine transmissions from Allah via the Angel Gabriel. In order to get men who were willing to fight, conquer and die on his behalf, Muhammad through his fictional god, guaranteed his male followers external sex in Paradise, unlimited sex on earth with sex slaves and 80% of the booty from conquered kafirs. He cleverly concealed his evil ideology by wrapping Islam in a cloak of religious ceremony/practices. This is the true reality of Islam.

    9/11 and the Ft. Hood massacre are Quran 9:111. The murder of 2,976 human beings on 9/11 masterminded by Osama bin Laden, Khalid Shaikh Mohammed and Mohamed Atta, 13 soldiers by Major Hasan at Ft. Hood and attempted blowing up of US airliner over Detroit that would have murdered 250 on Christmas Day by Umar Farouk, the attempted blowing up by Mohamed Osman Mohamud of the Portland Oregon Christmas tree celebration that would have spread death and carnage are not crimes in Islam but holy, divine, religious acts guaranteeing accession to a Paradise filled with lustrous eyed, full breasted virgins. Again, killing 2,976 Kafirs meant no more to Muslims then stepping on 2,976 ants. The 13 murdered at Ft. Hood meant no more to Major Hasan then killing 13 flies. The attempted mass murder of 250 would have been no more then killing 250 cockroaches.The attempted Times Square car bombing that would have murdered hundreds would have meant no more then killing hundreds of grasshoppers.

    If you drive your car late at night in the summer on a country highway then you massacre thousands of insects on your windshield – which gets smeared with the juices of their bodies. A quick squirt of screen-wash and a swipe with the wipers and they are gone. In Islam, Kafirs are no more then insects. 9/11, Fort Hood, Boston – just some worthless insects killed, but with this difference: killing these insects guarantees the Muslim all the delights of paradise.

    The 2,976 9/11 victims were murdered so their 19 holy, pious Muslim killers who “fight in the way of Allah and shall slay and be slain” (Quran 9:111) could ascend to Paradise. Indeed, the only way Muslim men can be guaranteed accession to Paradise is to slay or be slain in the service of Allah. Osama bin Laden, Khalid Shaikh Mohammed, Mohamed Atta and Major Hasan have guaranteed their accession to Paradise.

    To ensure you understand this most important true reality of Islam we repeat – they are all true, good, moral, holy, heroic Muslims following exactly the teachings of the Quran and the divine example set by Muhammad himself as recorded in the other holy book of Islam – the Hadith.

    Umar Farouk by failing in his attempt to blow up the airliner, Faisal Shahzad by bungling the van explosives and Mohamed Osman Mohamud by beingprevented by the FBI from carrying out his plans, all failed in their attempts to gain accession to Paradise. Allah only rewards Muslim murderers who succeed in murdering kafirs or are killed in the attempt. Allah does not reward failure.

    Umar Farouk is not a “moderate” Muslim who traveled to Yemen and was radicalized. He is a good, holy Muslim who traveled to Yemen to be trained in demolition so he could blow up an airliner in accordance with Quran verse 9.5 and ascend to Paradise. For a cost of US 7,000, Faisal Shahzad nearly succeeded in murdering hundreds of New Yorkers enjoying a beautiful night out in Times Square. The carnage that would have covered the streets in blood and body-parts was a well planned act – including having Shahzad obtain US citizenship. The politically correct dribble that was put out by the media and political elites that Shahzad had emigrated to the US fromPakistan, failed to realize the American dream, lost his home to bank foreclosure and therefore became a radicalized jihadist or who, like Mayor Bloomberg, initially blamed the attack on the health care debate i.e. Tea partiers is not just dribble, it is also morally reprehensible since it acts as a shield against the truth about Islam.

    Mohamed Osman Mohamud, another US citizen, didn’t want anyone to escape his planned carnage. Quoting from the Portland News “During this meeting, Mohamud explained how he had been thinking of committing some form of violent jihad since the age of 15,” the affidavit says. “Mohamud then told (the FBI operatives) that he had identified a potential target for a bomb: the Christmas tree-lighting ceremony in Portland’s Pioneer Courthouse Square on Nov. 26, 2010.” The FBI operatives cautioned Mohamud several times about the seriousness of his plan, noting that there would be many people, including children, at the event, and that Mohamud could abandon his plans at any time with no shame. “You know there’s going to be a lot of children there?” an FBI operative asked Mohamud. “You know there are gonna be a lot of children there? [They]
    will … be attacked in their own element with their families celebrating the holidays.” On the drive back to Corvalis, FBI operatives quizzed Mohamud about whether he was capable of looking at the bodies of those who would be killed in his planned Portland attack. “I want whoever is attending that event to leave, to leave either dead or injured,” Mohamud reportedly told the FBI operatives, the affidavit says. END QUOTE

    Failure to recognize these killers for the monsters they are and Islam for the barbaric ideology it represents will lead to our destruction. Those media and political elites who support Islam will be accomplices to mass murder. By giving aid and comfort to Islam – they will be covered in the blood of more Twin Towers and Boston style massacres.

    Again, Farouk, Hasan, Atta, Shahzad, Mohamed Osman and all the other Muslim murderers are not murderers in the eyes of Islam, but holy warriors of Allah (the Anti-God) fulfilling the will of the Allah, no matter what some Muslims may claim.

    Forget Yemen, Pakistan, Somalia and other foreign “hotbeds” of radicalisation. All Mosques in the United States are teaching the Quran. Imams are teaching verses 9.5, 9.111 and the other thousands of immoral teachings calling for the extermination of kafirs and conquering the world for Allah. They are teaching Islam.

    This is the true reality of the Boston and 9/11 Massacres – and all the other massacres that are to come.

    Hi Admn.

    Public anger has gripped Saudi Arabia after a prominent muslim imam who raped and beat to death his 5-year-old daughter was sentenced to a few months in jail and a $50,000 fine – known as ‘blood money’ – to compensate the victim’s relatives.

    ­According to Islamic law, the ‘blood money’ can be paid in lieu of the death penalty. The imam’s fine was reportedly half the usual amount because the victim was a girl.

    Saudi imam Fayhan Ghamdi, a frequent guest on Muslim TV networks, confessed to using cables and a cane to inflict the injuries, AFP reported, quoting activists from the group ‘Women to Drive.’

    Ghamdi reportedly doubted that his daughter, Lama Ghamdi, was a virgin, and forced her to undergo a medical inspection.

    In December 2011, Lama was admitted to hospital with multiple injuries, including a crushed skull, broken ribs and left arm, and extensive bruising and burns, according to the activist group. Hospital worker Randa Kaleeb said that the girl’s back was broken, and that she had been raped “everywhere.”

    ­The hospital told the victim’s mother that her child’s “rectum had been torn open and the abuser had attempted to burn it closed,” AFP reported on Saturday.

    In October 2012, the girl died from her injuries. The following November, the father was arrested. The judge ruled that the “blood money and the time the defendant had served in prison since Lama’s death suffices as punishment,” activists reported.

    The incident sparked public anger in Saudi Arabia, prompting an online Twitter campaign calling for more severe punishment for violence against women and children. The ‘Women to Drive’ campaign, launched by women’s rights activist Manal Sharif, has demanded the creation of legislation that would criminalize violence against women and children.

    The petition is circulating on Twitter under the hashtag ‘Ana Lama’ – “I am Lama” in Arabic.

    The issue has gained widespread traction in Saudi Arabia, and authorities promised to set up a 24-hour hotline that will take calls regarding child abuse.

    Investigators believe Imam may have raped as many as 30 little girls

    Tarakan, Indonesia; A Koran recital teacher who is also an imam at a Tarakan mosque in East Kalimantan has been arrested after admitting to raping one of his students, an 8-year old girl.

    The girl’s mother reported 40-year old Sul to the police upon learning of her daughter’s ordeal.

    “According to the victim’s parent, the incident happened on Saturday [April 13]. The victim claimed that she was sexually abused by the suspect in the mosque after a Koran recital class,” Tarakan Police Chief Adj. Sr. Comr. Desman S. Tarigan said on Tuesday.

    “The parent only learned about it on Sunday after the child complained that she felt pain in her genitals.”

    Desman said police immediately apprehended Sul, who admitted to the investigators that he raped the victim and was immediately named a suspect and detained.

    A doctor’s examination also confirmed that the victim was suffering from internal bleeding and wounds due to the rape.

    Investigators believe they may be more victims, because the suspect was teaching about 30 children, most of whom were girls.

    “Based on reports from the public, this was not the first time that he has committed this, but that he has done this several times. We have asked the residents to file a report,” Deman said.

    The suspect has been charged under Article 81(2) and Article 82 of Law No. 23/2002 on child protection.“It carries a 15-year punishment and that’s quite high,” he said.

    Amir, a parent, said he was shocked when he heard about the news because two of his daughters, one aged 8 and another aged 12, were also Sul’s students.

    “From what I know, he has a wife and five children,” Amir said. “He’s a teacher’s assistant in an elementary school. At night, he teaches Koran to children.”

    Amir said that Sul was also a mosque Imam in Selumit Pantai.

    “There was a news about Sul before, that once he tried to rape a student in a mosque after studying the Koran, but it did not happen because the child fought back,” he added.

    Hi Zahid,

    Surprised to read that you were also sodomised by Imams and Malvies?
    Did you not complain against them?Perhaps you are still habituated of such practices in the name of islam. You have a typical life story.
    It is strange to read that males anus are widened to hide small bombs inside it by Jihadies. What a religion?

    Shame on you.

    Women in polygamous marriages suffering psychological torture

    JEDDAH: Although Islam permits men taking more than one wife, the issue of polygamy remains a controversial one with many Saudi women dead set against sharing their husbands with others.
    In Islam, men are permitted four wives at any one time. However, the faith insists on men treating their wives fairly. Those who fear they might not be able to do justice to multiple wives are commanded to refrain from marrying more than one woman.
    Some scholars are also of the view that a husband should tell his first wife if he intends to marry a second time, but her permission is not necessary for subsequent marriages.
    According to statistics issued by King Saud University in Riyadh, men taking second wives are the cause of 55 percent of divorces in the Kingdom.
    So why do women not accept their husbands taking second wives? Is this due to jealousy, egotism or other social factors? Do contemporary Saudi women accept polygamy the way their mothers did 20 years ago?
    Kholood Muqbel, a Saudi teacher and mother of two girls, married first when she was 18. “I was in college studying literature then. My father treated his children very harshly and my mother was always weak in front of him. These circumstances pushed me to make a bad choice in getting married,” she said.
    “I was carried away by emotions. However, after getting married I became upset. My husband would mistreat me. He was harsh and stubborn,” she added.
    Her husband then decided to take a second wife. “What pained me the most after all that and what caused me to leave him was that he married a second time without informing me. If he was good man and kind, I could have accepted this, but he was horrible and so I asked for a divorce, which I eventually secured after a long struggle,” she said.
    Looking after two young children as a single mother proved difficult for Muqbel. “Taking care of two girls on my own was very difficult, so I thought about getting married again,” she said.
    Muqbel began looking for a man but soon realized that it was difficult to find the kind of person she had always fancied. She finally accepted the prospect of being a second wife. “I gave in to this since the man was well-off and promised to take care of my children. It pains me sometimes that his first wife knew nothing about our marriage. My difficult circumstances forced me to accept what I had myself refused to accept in the past,” she said.
    Eman Al-Ghamdi, a Saudi woman who is aged 30 and a mother of two, said she is against her husband taking a second wife. “When the husband gets married to another wife, he immediately ignores his first wife and gives all his attention to the new wife. Some men claim that the second marriage will not affect their relationships with their first wives, but they change once they get married,” she said.
    “I grew up in a very large family. My father had three wives and I know the negative effects his multiple marriages had on our relationship with him. I would never accept polygamy unless my husband decides to divorce me to marry a second wife. In this case, I would prefer to keep my marriage to make sure my children have a bright future,” she said.
    Nihal Saleh, a Saudi woman who is married to a Jordanian, said she refuses to allow her husband to marry a second time, saying allowing him to do so would mean there is something wrong with her.
    “I find it very difficult to accept this. Jealousy is not the only thing; there are many other feelings that make it difficult for me to accept such a marriage. If my husband is looking for a second wife, then that means there’s something wrong with me. This is something I can’t get out of my mind. This is really painful. I can’t imagine my husband being fed up with me and thinking of getting married again,” said Saleh.
    Omnia, a Saudi woman and mother of four who requested her surname not published, said her husband’s second marriage has hurt her deeply. “In the beginning, I refused to allow him to marry. I always felt he would lose interest in me and my children. This is exactly what happened when he married a divorcee who already has a daughter from her first marriage,” she said.
    “This woman is very different in her way of speaking, clothing and lifestyle. My husband spends all his time with her. He looks after her daughter more than he does ours. On Eid and other special occasions, he spends more money on them than us,” she said.
    “Things then became so bad that he hardly comes to visit me. He came a few times a month to give me money. Our marital relations came to a stop and I spoke to him about this several times. I mentioned the importance of maintaining relations, but he just ignored me,” she said.
    “This treatment forced me to cheat on him. I’m in mental torment because of this. I also can’t bring myself to divorce him, because of the way people will look at me. I also worry what will happen to my children,” she added.
    Dr. Mohammed Al-Hamed, head of the Department of Psychology at Bakhsh Hospital in Jeddah, said women in Saudi society are more receptive to polygamy than women in other Arab countries.
    “Saudi women don’t view their husbands as their personal property. They accept polygamy because this has been a way of life. Old traditions relating to marriage still exist in Saudi society,” he said.
    “I’ve seen a large number of women who are in much pain because of their husbands taking on second wives. However, these women have kept their pain a secret fearing what society would think. They prefer to keep their husbands and children instead of asking for divorces,” he added.
    Al-Hamed believes men who marry second wives are often unfair to their first wives and it is this that causes women to become mentally disturbed. He added that in spite of the practice being quite common in traditional families, women of today do not accept it the way their mothers did.

    Abuse and Islamist Madrassas

    Alarming reports on madrassas in UK, Pakistan and Bangladesh! Increasingly in the present times, sending children after school to Islamist-run madrassas is not a matter of free choice. At what price, the parental silence or subjugation over increasing malpractices and outright abuse under the protective umbrella of political Islam?

    BUSH’S WAR ON TERROR: THE MISSING FACTOR
    by Jahed Ahmed

    –”We did not join the government in power simply to enjoy the share of bread and butter; and ownerships of the cars-houses. Our major aim is Islamic revolution. Should Jamaat ever come to power (on our own) ; we shall introduce Sharia-law (into the country).”

    -Chief leader (“ameer”) of Jamaat-e-Islami and agriculture minister Mullah Motiur Rahman Nizami, Bangladesh , during a speech in 2003…

    And children are raped in Madarassas!!!!

    The Saints Of Dark Sins
    An AIDS conference woke Pakistan to a stark, ugly reality: the rampant sodomy in madrassas
    MARIANA BAABAR
    Special Issue: 4. International

    For decades, it has been a sight common to most Pakistani homes: the bearded maulana teaching children the holy Quran. But what has changed over the last few years is the presence of a family elder at these private tuitions, irrespective of the child’s gender. The family elder, though it’s tacit, is there to deter the maulana from preying upon children for sexual gratification. Indeed, the maulana’s penchant to sodomise the male child, or molest girls, has been Pakistan’s darkest, best-kept secret.

    Until it was made public last month at a most unusual venue: a World AIDS Day conference in Islamabad.

    Husain cited 5000 cases of sexual abuse in 2004, 7,000 in 2003 and 12000 in 2010-2011.

    And the person who dared talk about it was the country’s junior minister for religion, ushr and zakat, Dr Amir Liaquat Husain. The irrepressible minister, who conducts a weekly religious programme on a private TV channel, said Pakistan
    must countenance the harsh truth about the madrassa’s role in spreading AIDS. This was because, he offered to explain, maulanas are guilty of rampant sexual abuse of children.

    There was an ironical backdrop to Husain’s decision to blow the whistle. The Pakistan government has in recent times been trying to revamp the country’s antediluvian madrassas, and also hoping they could, because of their tremendous clout, spread awareness about AIDS in society. Obviously, Husain assumed, the maulanas couldn’t teach safe sex even as they abused their pupils. Lest his audience was unaware of how rampant the menace was in madrassas, the minister said, “During a raid on a madrassa in Karachi, I caught a cleric red-handed, abusing a student sexually.
    An inquiry was ordered.”

    Since that conference on December 1, Husain’s remarks have continued to generate controversy, gathering momentum every day with clerics,

    The revelation comes when madrassas were being asked to help spread AIDS awareness.

    the government and the minister’s party, the MQM, joining issue. The initial response of the clerics was to run for cover and keep mum on the affair. But as the western media picked up the contentious thread, the maulanas rallied to hit back as only they could. They issued death threats to Husain.

    Not one to be pummelled by the unholy passion of the maulanas, Husain began to reel out statistics to the media to bolster his case. There were 500 reported cases of sexual abuse involving the maulanas in 2004; it was as high as 2,000 in 2003; and, worse, there hasn’t yet been a successful prosecution.

    The fury of the fundamentalists prompted a nervous Shaukat Aziz government to ask the senior religious minister, Ijaz-ul-Haq, to mollify the clerics. In doing so, Ijaz was attempting to appease the constituency of fundamentalists whom his father, Zia-ul-Haq, had so assiduously cultivated. In the Senate, the conglomeration of religious parties, Muttahida Majlis-e-Amal, and even liberal parties like the Pakistan People’s Party banded together to demand an apology from Husain. PPP spokesperson Farhatullah Babar told Outlook, “Actually, Husain made a sweeping statement and painted everyone black with his brush. He should have talked about specific examples.”

    The MQM found the heat difficult to bear. It asked Husain to apologise. Sans support from the political class and civil society, Husain relented: he apologised in the last week of December. Some thought President Pervez Musharraf, whose post-9/11 rhetoric has been anti-fundamentalist, should have publicly backed Husain’s fight against the maulanas. Musharraf, however, remained silent, though it is said he told the junior minister in private that he shouldn’t have apologised.

    Some western websites perceived a political dimension in the controversy. As one of these noted, rather gravely, “Rape is practised to break the spirit of the child and make him obedient to the extent that he can carry out terrorist acts, including suicide bombing.

    The minister should take the funds available from foreign sources and simply take the pre-teen children out of residential seminaries, (besides) replacing them with normal (read secular) schools.”

    Others saw a global trend in the incidents of sexual abuse in Pakistan’s religious seminaries. There have been infamous cases of Catholic priests sexually exploiting children in the West; there’s also the cases surrounding the Kanchi math in India currently. With the ‘faithful’ betraying the faith the child reposes in them, psychologist Dr Iffat Hussain points out, “Abuse on children has devastating effects on their lives later on. Sexual abuse not only destroys the child’s personality but also turns such abused individuals into culprits later on.”

    The controversy received a fresh impetus this week as the National AIDS Control Programme held a workshop in Islamabad. Its goal: to convince religious leaders to encourage HIV/AIDS patients to use contraceptives instead of separating from their partners. They were also encouraged to talk about the HIV/AIDS kit in their Friday sermons. The moot question is: is the mullah suited for the job?

    Pakistani NGO SPARC (Society for Protection of the Rights of the Child) in its 2003 report says that an amount of $225 million has been earmarked to modernise 8,000 madrassas over three years. The modernisation programme, it is hoped, could also help spread consciousness about AIDS. Yet, the same report says 14 per cent of all child-abusers in 2003 were clerics. SPARC activists cite three specific cases from 2004 to illustrate sexual abuse of children and their brutalisation in religious seminaries.

    Case One
    In June 2004, when five-year-old Talha did not return from the Lajna mosque in Lahore, where he had gone to take Quranic lessons from Maulvi Mohammad Altaf, his mother went to fetch him. She found the boy in the corridor of the mosque, bleeding and unconscious; the maulvi was missing from the mosque. An fir was duly lodged. Altaf was subsequently arrested and Tahla identified him as the person who had sodomised him.

    The family was determined to pursue the case. But soon different religious groups began to mount pressure on them to drop the case; the family was even told that these “maulvis have links with Al Qaeda”. Pressure was, apparently, also brought upon the police. The family ultimately relented in July, agreeing to not pursue their case and withdrawing their witnesses.

    Case Two
    Sanam, 9, daughter of Mohammad Saleh Kori, a resident of the Microwave Colony, Sukkur, Sind, was a student of Abdul Wahid Chachar’s madrassa. On February 15, 2004, at the end of her classes, Maulvi Abdul Wahid told her that she was his wife and would have to live with him. Sanam rushed out to tell her parents about the incident. When her father went to the madrassa to complain, Abdul produced a nikahnama bearing Kori and his daughter’s signatures.

    The father-daughter had been tricked into appending their signature to the marriage document. Apparently, the maulana had asked them to sign on a form, claiming it would enable the family to receive zakat (charity money). The illiterate father, obviously, couldn’t distinguish between a zakat form and a nikahnama. Worse, the local Chachar tribesmen began pressuring him to hand over Sanam to Abdul.

    Case Three
    Child abuse in seminaries often involves physical torture. As in the case of 11-year-old Atif. Brutally assaulted at a seminary in Faisalabad, he is currently undergoing treatment at the Children’s Hospital in Lahore. On May 1, 2004, he was quoted saying, “I was punished by the teacher who wanted to make an example of me because I dared to escape from the daily routine of beatings at the seminary.” Once nabbed, he was chained and detained in a room at the seminary; Maulvi Mahboob Alam then beat him severely with an iron rod. The hospital’s treatment note says the boy was brought in with a head injury and bruises all over the body. Atif’s case came to light following the intervention of the Human Rights Commission of Pakistan.

    It’s one thing to take legal action against culprits or modernise madrassas. It’s quite another to retreat against the fury of fundamentalists keen to insulate their arcane world from scrutiny and criticism. A pity Pakistanis let down Husain

    Fatwa Permitting ‘Jihad Sodomy’ for the Victory of Islam – The Question Homosexuality in Islam

    Wednesday, 25 July 2012 03:58 Alamgir Hussain

    Recently an al-Qaeda cleric’s fatwa appeared in a video, which said: if a Jihadi is needed to be sodomized to widen his anus for inserting bombs into his rectum for jihad operations, it is permitted to do so in Islam. Because “Jihad is the pinnacle of Islam” and anything goes for its sake.

    ——————————————————————————–

    Fatwa permitting sodomy for Jihad

    In 2009, al-Qaeda Jihadi Abdullah Hassan al-Asiri made a false repentation for his Jihadi activity, so that he could have a meeting with Saudi Prince Muhammad bin Nayef and killed him. So, before going for the meeting, he hid a bomb inside his rectum, which he wanted to explode while having the meeting with Prince Nayef. Al-Qaeda clerics had declared Prince Nayef an infidel for alliance with the West against al-Qaeda. But unfortunately for Asiri, he pushed the button a bit too early and as a result, although he earned Jihad martyrdom, but failed to kill the prince.

    What happened is: although Asiri had repented, he remained in touch with al-Qaeda. One al-Qaeda cleric, named Abu al-Dema al-Qasab, had suggested jihadis of an “innovative and unprecedented way to execute martyrdom operations: place explosive capsules in your anus.”

    Asiri and probably also others wanted to apply this new innovative Jihad technique. However, in order to insert a bomb through anus, the willing Jihadis needed to be sodomized repeatedly over a period of time to make their anus wide enough for the bomb to go in. One Jihadi, probably Asiri himself, asked an al-Qaeda cleric: “Is it permissible for me to let one of the jihadi brothers sodomize me to widen my anus if the intention is good?”

    ‘Yes’ was the answer of the cleric, as he declared the following fatwa (see the video for original in Arabic). He said, although sodomy is forbidden in Islam,

    …jihad comes first, for it is the pinnacle of Islam, and if the pinnacle of Islam can only be achieved through sodomy, then there is no wrong in it. For the overarching rule of [Islamic] jurisprudence asserts that “necessity makes permissible the prohibited.” And if obligatory matters can only be achieved by performing the prohibited, then it becomes obligatory to perform the prohibited, and there is no greater duty than jihad. After he sodomizes you, you must ask Allah for forgiveness and praise him all the more. And know that Allah will reward the jihadis on the Day of Resurrection, according to their intentions—and your intention, Allah willing, is for the victory of Islam, and we ask that Allah accept it of you.

    This issue brings the question of homosexuality in Islam, about which there is much confusion. Some moderate Muslims would say the Quran does not say anything about punishing homosexuals, while others would say punishment for homosexuality in Islam is death by stoning. At this opportune moment, let us examine what Islam truly says about homosexuality.

    What Islam says about homosexuality?

    Homosexual sex amongst men in Islam has been widely prevalent in history, especially at the highest levels of society. Even today in Islamic boarding schools, called Madrassas, around the world, which are all-male Islamic education schools, homosexual activity is highly prevalent among students, even involving Imams. Multiple reports have come out in the media in recent that Madrassa Imams have abused their young male-students by sodomizing them.

    Muslim rulers, generals and nobles throughout history used to keep hundred to thousands of castrated slaves-boys. The handsome young ones were used their master for carnal indulgence. They were called ghilman. They used to wear rich and attractive uniforms and often beautified and perfumed their bodies like women. The concept of ghilman originated in Islam from following verses of the Quran, which talks about pearl-like young male-attendants (ghilman), who would serve blessed Muslims in paradise:
    ‘Round about them will serve, (devoted) to them, young male servants (handsome) as Pearls well-guarded.’ [Quran 52:24]
    ‘There wait on them immortal youths, with bowls and ewers and a cup from a pure spring.’ [Quran 56:17–18]

    Wrote Professor Hitti, ‘We read of ghilman in the reign of al-Rashid; but it was evidently the Caliph al-Amin, who, following Persian precedent, established in the Arab world the ghilman institution for the practice of sexual relations. A judge of whom there is record used four hundred such youths. Poets did not disdain to give public expression to their perverted passions and to address amorous pieces of their compositions to beardless young boys.’[1]

    Caliph al-Muqtadir (r. 908–937) had some 11,000 eunuchs – 7,000 Blacks and 4,000 Whites (Greek) – in his Baghdad palace.[2] In India, Said Khan Chaghtai, a noble of Emperor Jahangir (r. 1605-27), owned 1,200 eunuchs. Sultan Alauddin Khilji had 50,000 young boys in his personal services, while Muhammad Tughlaq had 20,000 and Firoz Tughlaq 40,000. Most of these slave-boys were castrated. Malik Kafur, Alauddin’s famous commander, was a eunuch; so was Khusrau Khan, Sultan Kutbuddin Mubarak Khilji’s favorite commander. Sikandar Lodi had once boasted, ‘If I order one of my slaves to be seated in a palanquin, the entire body of nobility would carry him on their shoulders at my bidding.’[3] Sultan Mahmud had infatuation toward charming Tilak the Hindu, his favorite commander.[4]

    While this has been the historical reality in the Muslim world, the Quran nonetheless has a rather mixed message about homosexuality. It is especially stern against homosexuality amongst women, and rather soft toward male homosexuality. Homosexuality-related Quranic verses can be divided as 1) condemnatory, and 2) punitive.

    Condemnatory verses. The following verse of the Quran condemns homosexuality as an act of transgression:
    1.”Will ye commit abomination such as no creature ever did before you?” [Qur’an 7:81]

    According to this verse, homosexuality is an abomination, which no other creature engage in, meaning it is the ‘worst sin’.
    1.”Of all the creatures in the world, will ye approach males, And leave those whom Allah has created for you to be your mates? Nay, ye are a people transgressing” [Qur’an 26:165-166]

    In this verse, Allah says that amongst all creatures, only men may approach other men for sexual gratification, ignoring the females, whom Allah has created as men’s sexual partner. And He calls this a transgression against Allah.

    Punitive verses. So, what will be the punishment for the ‘worst sin’ and ‘transgression against Allah’ that homosexuality is? The following verses tell us about the punishments.
    1.”…For ye practice your lusts on men in preference to women: ye are indeed a people transgressing beyond bounds…. And we rained down on them a shower (of brimstone)” [Qur’an 7:80-84, also see Qur’an 27:54]

    In this verse, Allah condemns homosexuality as the transgression against Him beyond all limits. He also gave an example of how He punished such transgressors of olden days, namely the people of Sodom, whom he annihilated by “showering rains of stones”. In accordance with this Godly punishment of the homosexual people of the Biblical Sodom, Muslim scholars have rightly prescribed “stoning to death” as the deserving punishment for homosexuals, which is practiced by some Muslim countries even today.
    1.”If two men among you are guilty of lewdness, punish them both. If they repent and amend, Leave them alone.” [Qur’an 4:16]

    In this verse, Allah recommends punishing Muslim men, if they engage in homosexual acts, but they should be pardoned if the repent. That is, by repenting, Muslim men can save themselves from punishment for homosexuality. But how the female homosexuals have to be dealt with is commanded in the previous verses.
    1.“If any of your women are guilty of lewdness, Take the evidence of four (Reliable) witnesses from amongst you against them; and if they testify, confine them to houses until death do claim them, or Allah ordain for them some (other) way.” [Quran 4:15]

    In this verse, Allah commands that if Muslim women are found guilty of homosexuality, they must be punished with eventual death. So, the difference is punishments for male homosexuals and female homosexuals are starkly different. Men can be given just any form of punishment and let go. They can even be let go without suffering any punishment, if they just repent. But for women homosexuals, there is no such option. Punishment for them would be such that it would eventually cause their death, nothing less.

    From the Hadith: From the Quran, Allah seems to have been muddle-headed about dealing with the homosexuals, as its verses recommend punishing them with stoning to death to letting them go scot-free by simply repenting if they are male, or killing them if they are female. But in certain Hadiths, Prophet Muhammad commanded for summary execution of the homosexuals. For example,
    1.The Messenger of Allah (pbuh) said, “Whoever you find doing the action of the people of Loot, execute the one who does it and the one to whom it is done.” [Abu Dawud 4462]
    2.”If unmarried man is seized committing sodomy, he will be stoned to death.” [Abu Dawud 4448]

    American doctors are trying to teach Afghani men that they are getting sexually transmitted diseases from the anal sex they are having with each other. The docs are telling these men that they must stop the practice.

    The problem is, though, that these Afghani men refuse to take the doctor’s advice because they say it is their cultural practice. In fact, they say that the Koran tells them to do this.

    The Fox report includes this statement by an Afghani that surely reflects his cultural bias on the issue. The report mentions that the U.S. medical personnel was trying to tell these men that sex with women will keep them from getting these diseases. The Fox News report said, “when it was explained to him what was necessary, he reacted with disgust and asked:

    ‘How could one feel desire to be with a woman, who God has made unclean, when one could be with a man, who is clean? Surely this must be wrong.’”

    Anal Sex Approved by Allah and Prophet Muhammad

    Sex in Islam 6 July 2012
    By Amar Khan

    In Pakistan, the mullahs are notorious for child abuse and molestation. Every day, we hear news about a mullah sodomizing his beardless student. It is very common in Pakistan. Almost every one knows what happens in madrassas. Even one of my friends narrowly escaped from being sodomized by his Quranic teacher when he was taking the Quran memorizing lessons.

    But why do these mullahs commit such a thing, allegedly condemned in Islam? Muslims are most vocal in commending sodomy, homosexuality in words? They are known to attack homosexuals in Europe.

    Answer is that, according to them, masturbation is haram. Seeing any na mehram girl is also prohibited. The only way left to satisfy their lusty desires is to sodomize one of their pupils. While reading from a shia Website, http://www.answering-ansar.org, I came across the fact that the root of sodomy lies in the Islamic text and history. Here are some examples of the gems from the history and authentic books of Sunni Islam.

    Umar indulged in sodomy and Allah was forced to legitimize
    this practise in the Qur’an

    For evidence you can consult the following texts:

    Jami al Tirmidhi,

    Katheer Volume 1 page 261

    Tafseer Qurtubi
    Volume 1 page 92 Ayat Hars
    Lets quote verbatim from Jami al Tirmidhi [Bab
    al Tafseer Vol. 2, p. 382, ‘Ayat Hars’]:

    “Ibn Abbas narrates that
    Hadhrath Umar went before Rasulullah (s) and “Master I am
    destroyed!’. Rasulullah (s) asked ‘what thing has destroyed you?’.
    Umar replied last night I had anal sex. Rasulullah (s) did not
    give a reply to Umar, then Allah (swt) sent down this revelation
    “Your wives are as a tilth unto you; so approach your tilth when
    or how ye will; the words ‘kabool wa Dhabar‘ (the anus is
    accepted)”

    Abdullah Ibn Umar deemed sodomy to Halaal, like his old man.

    For evidence, please consult the following authentic Sunni texts:

    Tafseer Qasmi
    Volume 2 page 220, by Jamaladeen Qasmi

    page 92 Ayat Hars
    Here is the direct quote from Tafseer Durre Manthur:

    “Traditions wherein Abdullah ibn
    Umar believed sodomy with women are well known and Sahih”.

    Ulema of Madina believed that sodomy was halaal.

    Quoting directly from Fayl al Lawathar:

    “Imam Auzai stated of the Fatwas
    from Hijaaz that are famous, one fatwa is from the people of Makka
    is that is that they deemed Mut’ah with women to be permissible,
    the other from the people of Madina, that sodomy with women is
    permissible”.

    Ibn Kathir in his Tafseer also stated:

    “Statements on the
    permissibility of sodomy with women have come from the jurists of
    Madina”.

    Companions of mohammed deemed sodomy with women to be permissible

    We read in Tafseer Qurtubi Volume 3 page 93 Ayat Hars:

    “Fatwas on the permissibility of
    sodomy with women Saeed bin Maseeb Nafi, ibn Umar, Muhammad bin
    Kab, Abdul Malik, Imam Malik, a large group amongst the Sahaba and
    Tabaeen deemed sodomy to be permissible”.

    Imam Sha’afi deemed sodomy to be permissible!

    We read in Tafseer Durre Manthur:

    “On sodomy with women, Imam
    Sha’afi no Sahih narration’s have reached us from Rasulullah (s)
    as to whether it is halaal or haraam and logic suggests that this
    halaal”.

    Imam of Ahl’ul Sunnah Abu Maleeka suggested ‘in times of trouble’
    use a stick!’

    We read in Tafseer Durre Manthur Ayat Hars:

    “Abu Maleeka was asked whether
    it was permissible to practise sodomy with women. He replied ‘Last
    night I practised sodomy with my servant, penetration became
    difficult hence I sought the assistance of a stick”.

    Imam Malik believed sodomy with women was halaal

    We read in the following Sunni sources:

    Ahkam al Qur’an
    Volume 1 page 352 Ayat Hars
    Tafseer Gharab al
    Qur’an Volume 2 page 249 Ayat Hars

    Tafseer Durre Manthur Volume 1 page 111, Ayat Hars
    Fathul Bari Volume
    8 page 190 Kitab Tafseer Ayat Hars
    Quoting verbatim from Ahkam al Qur’an:

    “Sahil asked Imam Malik ‘is
    sodomy with women permissible? Imam Malik replied ‘I just did this
    act and have just washed by sexual organs”.

    Imam Abu Hanifa’s esteemed student Ibn Mubarak was also a
    homosexual

    We also read in ‘Muhadarat al-’udaba‘, p. 199, Chapter 1,
    “Al hada al Saani” that:

    “Hakim Tabaristan made Abdullah
    bin Mubarak a Judge, who was addicted to the anus (Homosexual) he
    asked the Hakim ‘Sir I need some men who can help you” Hakim said
    I was aware of your need before this”.

    The Salaf deem it permissible to pray Salat behind a
    homosexual Imam

    We read in Sahih al Bukhari, p. 96, Kitab Bab ul Salaat, narrates
    a tradition from Zuhri [Sahih
    al-Bukhari, p. 96, 1375 AH print]:

    “The Imamate of a mukhanath at a
    time of necessity is Sahih”.

    Dear readers,

    Sex scandal of father of Taliban – Mulana Samiul Haq – Mulana Sanwich

    رسوایی جنسی پدر معنوی طالبان
    Sex scandal of father of Taliban

    دیروز مصاحبه بی بی سی فارسی با مولانا سمیع الحق، رهبر جمعیت العلمای اسلام و سناتور سابق پاکستانی را، که از او به عنوان “پدر معنوی طالبان” نام برده میشود، خواندم و به یاد یک رسوایی جنسی وی افتادم. این مولانا، ملاعمر را شاگردش میخواند چون در یکی از مدارس او درس خوانده است. خود سمیع الحق از مولانا های دیوبندی است که از دهه هفتاد بدینسو ماشین طالب کشی‌اش فعال است و از مدارس خود در پاکستان بیشمار انسان جاهل و قاتل بیرون داده است که در ابتدا زیر نام “جهادی”، بعدا زیر نام “طالب” و اکنون منحیث “انتحاری” برای کشتار بیگناهان به افغانستان گسیل میشوند. او میگوید که حال نیز سه هزار شاگرد در مدرسه‌اش دارد و با چهل هزار مدرسه فعال دیگر در این کشور در ارتباط است.

    اما در پاکستان در بین مردم این مولوی، مثل سایر ملا و مولوی های تاریک اندیش، بدنامترین است و او را به تمسخر “مولوی ساندویچ” خطاب میکنند که این لقب به رسوایی جنسی وی به سالها قبل بر میگردد.

    در دوران حکومت نواز شریف در دهه نود میلادی، فاحشه خانه‌ای در شهر اسلام آباد توسط پولیس کشف شد که بوسیله زنی مشهور به نام “میدم طاهره” گردانندگی میشد، او در اعترافات خود فاش کرد که مولوی ها و سیاستمداران مشهور پاکستان با او در ارتباط اند و مشخصا سمیع‌الحق از مشتریان همیشگی‌اش میباشد که علاقه دارد همزمان با دو روسپی در مرکز او رابطه جنسی برقرار کند. بنابر خبر مجله “تایم” (٧ اکتوبر ٢٠٠٢) تصاویری نیز از این ماجرا درز کرد که مولوی صاحب را در حال ….. بین چندین روسپی نشان میداد، ازینرو او به “مولوی ساندویچ” معروف گردید. اما دولتمداران پاکستان از ترس اینکه مبادا رازهای بیشتر بداخلاقی خود شان فاش شود، “میدم طاهره” را رها و از دید مردم و مطبوعات پنهان کردند.

    این رسوایی که در مطبوعات پاکستان و حتی جهان مثل بمبی منفجر شد، مولوی سمیع الحق را به حدی بی‌آب و رسوا ساخت که برای چندین سال خود را از انظار مردم پنهان کرد و در کنج یکی از مدارسش برای طالب کشی ادامه داد.

    Mullana Samiul Haq, head of the Jamiat Ulema-e-Islam of Pakistan is a god-father of Taliban and he is producing Taliban for killing Afghans since decades in his maddrassa’s in Pakistan.

    A few years ago a ‘sex scandal’ involving Maulana Samiul Haq with a woman called ‘Madam Tahira’ of Islamabad rocked the Pakistani and some world press:

    The Indian Express, February 8, 1999: “Maulana Sami-ul-haq is also known as Maulana sandwich as well. The reason behind calling him sandwich is that a Madam Tahira, who is supposed to running a brothel in Islamabad and whose clients included the rich and famous. After being apprehended by the police testified that that Maulana Sami-ul-haq is a visitor and a client of her but even he preferred twobedmates (girls: Although most of the cleric are also found of boys).

    Even today, some papers refer to him as “Sammy Sandwich” in reference to those interviews.”

    @god is great – do you have any proof to what ever you say? Why shouldn’t people look at Muslims to see what there religion is all about. When a child mis behaves, people look upto his parents for what they teach to the kid, Islam is what Muslims do. Your idiot logic doesn’t work you see! Plus why are you frustrated with your Islam, is no one joining you folks, why don’t you become.a Christian, a Jew or Buddhist or Hindu? Look at those people , they are far more intelligent than Muslims, work hard, better looking. So in short. You are total ignorant to say whatever you write. Plus Islam is not submission to god, its to your Muslims god Allah. Plus ideally you don’t submit to god, you believe in god, submission is like a an evil forcing you to worship by force. I think you peaceful Allah doesn’t like people leaving Islam isn’t it, why don’t you tell us what sharia law says for those people leaving Islam ?

    Hello,

    Now that everyone is getting information from the negative point of view please take a look from the positive side too. Please learn the fundamentals of Islam from the very beginning. Otherwise everyone will end up with incorrect views. Its like reading a book not from the beginning but by opening to a random page.
    Please read real stories of why people convert and the logic behind the ideals of Islam:-

    Hi Admn.

    Study Shows U.S. Mosques Repositories of Sharia, Jihad, and Muslim Brotherhood Literature and Preachers

    In 1998, Sheikh Muhammad Hisham Kabbani, a Sufi leader, visited 114 mosques in the United States. Then he gave testimony before a State Department Open Forum in January 1999, and asserted that 80% of American mosques taught the “extremist ideology.”

    Then there was the Center for Religious Freedom’s 2005 study, and the Mapping Sharia Project’s 2008 study. Each independently showed that upwards of 80% of mosques in America were preaching hatred of Jews and Christians and the necessity ultimately to impose Islamic rule.

    And in the summer of 2011 came another study showing that only 19% of mosques in U.S. don’t teach jihad violence and/or Islamic supremacism.

    And now here is more on the latter study:

    Study Shows U.S. Mosques Repositories of Sharia, Jihad, and Muslim Brotherhood Literature and Preachers

    Peer-reviewed study most extensive empirical examination of U.S. mosques to date

    December 12, 2011 – New York, New York: A leading international peer-reviewed journal specializing in the empirical study of terrorism has published a study that found that 80% of U.S. mosques provide their worshippers with jihad-style literature promoting the use of violence against non-believers and that the imams in those mosques expressly promote that literature.

    The study also found that when a mosque imam or its worshippers were “sharia-adherent,” as measured by certain behaviors in conformity with Islamic law, the mosque was more likely to provide this violent literature and the imam was more likely to promote it.

    The abstract for the study summarizes the research findings:

    A random survey of 100 representative mosques in the U.S. was conducted to measure the correlation between Sharia adherence and dogma calling for violence against non-believers. Of the 100 mosques surveyed, 51% had texts on site rated as severely advocating violence; 30% had texts rated as moderately advocating violence; and 19% had no violent texts at all. Mosques that presented as Sharia adherent were more likely to feature violence-positive texts on site than were their non-Sharia-adherent counterparts. In 84.5% of the mosques, the imam recommended studying violence-positive texts. The leadership at Sharia-adherent mosques was more likely to recommend that a worshipper study violence-positive texts than leadership at non-Sharia-adherent mosques. Fifty-eight percent of the mosques invited guest imams known to promote violent jihad. The leadership of mosques that featured violence-positive literature was more likely to invite guest imams who were known to promote violent jihad than was the leadership of mosques that did not feature violence-positive literature on mosque premises.

    The study was published in December 2011 by Perspectives on Terrorism, a scholarly international journal of the Terrorism Research Initiative (TRI), a global initiative that seeks to support the international community of terrorism researchers and scholars through the facilitation of collaborative projects and cooperative initiatives. TRI was established in 2007 by scholars from several disciplines in order to provide the global research community with a common tool than can empower them and extend the impact of each participant’s research activities.

    The mosque study had previously been published by the Middle East Quarterly in September 2011, an academic peer-reviewed journal which specializes on Middle East regional issues. Because of the ground-breaking nature of the study, which brings a rigorous empirical methodology to the question of home-grown jihadists, MEQ granted permission to Perspectives on Terrorism to publish a more extensive analysis of the study’s conception, methodology, and results.

    The study’s authors, Professor Mordechai Kedar of Bar Ilan University in Israel and David Yerushalmi, who serves as general counsel to the Center for Security Policy in Washington, D.C., have both published widely on terrorism, Islamic law and its underlying doctrines of jihad and violence against unbelievers.
