Minnesota mosques, Muslim orgs complain about anti-terror program

32

Muslim agitation, attrition, the litigation jihad accompanies all counter-terror programs in these United States. We are constantly being told, scolded, admonished and clubbed with the now well-worn meme that “only a tiny minority,” “a radical few” Muslims engage in jihad. And yet we never see Muslim organizations supporting, encouraging cooperation and applauding any counter-terror efforts.

Why is that? Based on everything we are constantly being told about moderate Muslims, this is an impossibility. And yet this impossibility is our constant companion.

Is it any wonder that there is a stream of young Muslims from these communities and mosques flocking to the Middle East to slaughter alongside the Islamic State?

“Minnesota mosques, Muslim orgs complain about anti-terror program”, Jihad Watch, May 1, 2015

Have you ever — ever! — seen Muslim organizations anywhere in the U.S. express their unreserved support for any anti-terror program? Instead, again and again we get this complaining that such programs stigmatize and discriminate against them. One might almost get the impression that Hamas-linked CAIR and the other Muslim groups involved here don’t want anti-terror programs to succeed. Surely that couldn’t be so, now, could it?

“Minnesota mosques, Muslim orgs raise concerns with anti-terror recruitment pilot,” by Mike Durkin, KSMP, May 1, 2015:

Nearly 50 mosques, Muslim organizations and student groups have signed a statement that highlights concerns with a federal pilot program to combat radicalization and terror recruitment in Minnesota.

“While we support the right of all Americans to live in democratic communities free of violence, we cannot in good conscience condone or help refine programs that are fundamentally discriminatory and are likely to further subject our community members to additional civil rights abuses,” said the statement released by the Minnesota chapter of the Council on American-Islamic Relations.

The statement lists 44 Muslim organizations as undersigned supporters, as well as the National Lawyers Guild.

Alternative plan suggested

“It is our recommendation that the government stop investing in programs that will only stigmatize, divide and marginalize our communities further,” the statement said.

The groups instead suggest the following framework to combat extremism:

Support for a Minnesota Muslim community-based task force, which is currently under development to serve as an outreach resource for law enforcement agencies.

Funds for anti-radicalization programs should be separated from federal counter-terrorism and law enforcement agencies. Instead, funding should come from foundations, community organizations and state and local government.

The Department of Justice should protect groups and individuals who intervene with those they believe are vulnerable to recruitment into extremist groups. Those who intervene should not be penalized with prosecution, watch-listing or surveillance because of their association with a potential violent extremist.

The statement also calls on Congress to investigate the federal government’s “overbroad surveillance of mosques and American Muslims, absent evidence of criminal activity.”

Community Resiliency Program

This Justice Department pilot program is designed to combat the recruiting of young men and women for terror by getting at root causes, like unemployment and a lack of opportunity. Other programs were started in Los Angeles and Boston, but Minnesota is the program everyone is watching. That’s because as many as 40 people have left Minnesota since 2007 to fight for al-Shabaab in Somalia and ISIS in Syria.

“There is a very sophisticated and persuasive message coming from overseas, that you have a better life, a more meaningful life, fighting overseas for terrorists,” U.S. Attorney Andy Luger said.

Luger wants to combat that message in several ways.

– Youth and after school programs

– Job fairs and job training programs

– Eliminate ethnic profiling at the airport

– Get more Somalis in law enforcement careers

– Increase engagement between religious leaders and youth

The U.S. Attorney’s Office in Minnesota is reviewing the statement released by CAIR regarding its pilot program.

“… our beliefs and faith inspire us daily to perform acts of kindness and generosity;
our civic mindedness motivates us to protect fundamental freedoms of association,
religion, and speech…”

So why do we see so many examples of young Muslims who feel entitled to behave extremely aggressively and rudely in defense of Islam?

Terror by itself is a secular term and is not the same as Jihad. Terror for Allah is called Jihad.

Why would good Muslims refuse to help purge Islam of those who engage in terrorism in the name of Islam? You’d think they’d welcome and join any efforts to clean up Islam.

destroy every program the muslims have and rebuild none. that would be a good start.then start deportation. and that would end all problems the muslims are having in AMERICA. THESE DEVILS WANT THEIR CAKE AND EAT IT TO..SLOWLY BUT SURLY IT IS TAKING OVER . ONE PROGRAM AT A TIME. LAW ENFORCEMENT? THAT WOULD BE REALLY A WISE THING TO DO. REMEMBER THE TEXAS DOCTOR? THEY ARE ALL doing their part in one way or another you better take that to the bank. they are here for one purpose. and the wise and smart people of AMERICA KNOW IT.then you have the dumb. and the government.

“… we cannot in good conscience condone or help refine programs that are fundamentally discriminatory…”

Well excuse me, but then start with your own damn religion. We good citizens can’t condone the violence and hatred that your faith promulgates. Remove the violent and threatening passages from your fake revelation, the koran, and write a new mandate that calls for a universal acceptance in brotherhood the innate freedoms and religions of all people. Then we’ll talk.

We are sick and tired of you muslims ignoring the larger issue of your “religion’s” genocidal attack against humanity. We see the videos of muslims cutting heads while yelling their god in ecstasy, we hear the horror stories from the victims of islamic discrimination, we see in the news the abuse of muslim women under the sharia that you want to install in our nation, we are shocked by the epidemic rape of women and the sexual exploitation of our children because your culture looks down on us, we are sickened by the loss of our neighborhoods to enclaves of indifference and dissimilarity, and we are disgusted by the barbaric implementation of sharia even in the most sophisticated islamic countries. We don’t condone any of this either, but you don’t seem to care. So why should we care about you?

I know a bad crowd when I see one. I don’t want these muslims in my town or my country. Because the end-result is the destruction of our freedoms, our peace, and our nation. You don’t need my testimony as evidence for this, just look to Europe and anywhere else muslims exist, the facts attest themselves.

The reason that there is zero approval of anti-terror programs by any Muslims is simple. Any follower of Allah and Islam that actually understands the religion that they purport to adhere to, is that there is simply no version of Islam that does not promote Jihad by every follower. Allah will not allow anything else.

Jihad literally means “holy warfare”, and this focus can be done in several areas, including deception, cultural attacks, political attacks, and violent attacks. The goal of Jihad is the supremacy of Islam over all, and Muslims do not have the option of rejecting it.

So, when you are dealing with or considering Muslims who appear to be “good Americans”, “nice people”, or “just like everyone else”, know that this is a fiction, not based in reality at all.

Islam is Jihad, and there is no “peaceful” version of it. Not every Muslim carries a gun or uses violence, but rest assured, every genuine Muslim does pursue and promote Jihad in all that they say and do.

Are there supposed Muslims that don’t understand the religion that they claim to follow? I’m sure there are. However, that does not change the nature and goals of Islam, does not change it into a “religion of peace”.

Islam is a culture of death, insisting on the subjugation of all who reject Allah. Allah is not the God of the Bible, but appears to be a combination of two Babylonian deities: Bel and Alla. Bel was considered to be Lord of all, while Alla was the god of violence and rebellion. Satan, under the guise of the modern Allah, shows his qualities through both of these false gods.

Not only a culture of death in general, Islam shows hatred for everyone (especially women and children), even hatred for its own followers. Cruelty, barbarislm, torture, murder, hatred for Christ as God’s Son, and hatred for the Jews and Christians in general. Satan, as the “greatest of deceivers” (a title for Allah from Muslims themselves) promotes deception and lies, and allows any action, word, or deed that will promote Jihad.

There is no peaceful version of Islam, and Allah is not just another name for the God of creation. Muslims will never abandon their focus on Jihad, for to do so would make them Islamic apostates, marked for death by the “religion of peace”.

I detest Islam, NOT Muslims, just like I detest Nazism, NOT Germans and I detest Stalinism, NOT Russians.

In Islam, *all* non-Muslims are called *unbelievers*, *infidels* or *kafir*(derogatory).

The world is divided into the House of Islam and the House of War, the *Dar al-Islam* and the *Dar al-harb*. The Dar al-Islam is all those lands in which a Muslim government rules and the Holy Law of Islam prevails. Non-Muslims may live there on Muslim sufferance. *The outside world (non-Muslim), which has not yet been subjugated, is called the “House of War,” and strictly speaking a perpetual state of *jihad*, or holy *war*, is imposed by the law.

The treatment of the infidels in Islam is divided into two categories. The polytheists, pagans, idolaters and heathens have the choice of converting to Islam or suffer death. The Jews and Christians, whom the Koran calls people of the book, can retain their religion but on the sufferance of accepting humiliation and subjugation to Islam and payment of *Jizyah* (poll-tax/extortion) to the Islamic rulers [For more detail read this article: Unfettered Religious Freedom in Islam – A Fact or Fiction? – by Alamgir Hussain].

Now, let us have a closer look at what the Koran says about the infidels:

_Slay the unbelievers wherever you find them_ (2:191)
_Make war on the infidels living in your neighboorhood_ (9:123)
_When opportunity arises, kill the infidels wherever you catch them_ (9:5)
_Kill the Jews and the Christians if they do not convert to Islam or refuse to pay Jizya tax_ (9:29)
_Any religion other than Islam is not acceptable_ (3:85)
_The Jews and the Christians are perverts; fight them_ (9:30)
_Maim and crucify the infidels if they criticise Islam._ (5:33)
_The infidels are unclean; do not let them into a mosque_ (9:28)
_Punish the unbelievers with garments of fire, hooked iron rods, boiling water; melt their skin and bellies_ (22:19)
_Do not hanker for peace with the infidels; behead them when you catch them_(47:4)
_The unbelievers are stupid; urge the Muslims to fight them_ (8:65)
_Muslims must not take the infidels as friends_ (3:28)
_Terrorise and behead those who believe in scriptures other than the Qur’an_ (8:12)
_Muslims must muster all weapons to terrorise the infidels_ (8:60)

The Qur’an certainly proclaims that when the time is appropriate, Muslims must use force to convert the unbelievers to Islam. For the non-Muslims, the alternative to this is to pay the humiliating protection money (Jizya tax) or be killed (by beheading, of course). A militarily dominant Islam, without doubt, precludes the peaceful co-existence with the unbelievers if the Muslims have to abide strictly by the unalterable stipulations of the Qur’an.
