“From Baghdad to Gaza - Jihad until Victory”

“From Baghdad to Gaza - Jihad until Victory” -it's all about the jihad folks. The "war peace process" is one ginormous trojan horse. There is no such thing as a"Palestinian".

E-jihad IAI: “Dari Baghdad sampai Gaza - Jihad sampai Menang” (hat tip wolf)

I ahte running the URLs because the jihadis just take them down and set up elsewhere (more frequently Indonesia) and then we have to track them down again. So while it appears to be a great thing to get sites taken down, the fact is it makes our job harder.

The following article is from a different Islamic site. He explains there is no such thing as moderate Islam but I have been telling you that for years.

Who represents “mainstream Islam”?

This is a burning question that is often posed by the West to the Muslim Communities residing in the West. So immediately, we are going to face a problem. Here, the West wants us to say that the Muslims residing in Western lands are “mainstream Muslims” that follow “mainstream Islam.” In other words, they want us to forget that their is a powerful voice in the Middle East and South Asia, and instead, fill our heads with air making us think and feel that we are the superior part of the Ummah because we have an education and have more money and can speak English well. If they were to ask “mainstream Muslims in the West,” then this would have never ever become an issue. The idea of “mainstream Islam” is where the trap is placed. So the Muslims turn to media savvy people like Hamza Yusuf or so-called intellectuals like Tariq Ramadan. This trap is so well-placed and hidden that almost the majority of the Muslims in the West don’t see it. For those who do see it, they stay quiet on the issue. Why is this?

When a Muslim in the West is asked who represents “mainstream Islam,” he doesn’t realize that the West is playing their role of divide and conquer. This is their strategy. So the Muslims will look to those that “make Islam look bad” to Kuffaar - as if Islam is obsessed with its image in the eyes of the disbelievers - such as the Mujaahideen, the Mujaahideen Shuyookh such as Shaykh Abu ‘Aasim Muhammad al-Maqdisi, and the staunch Mujaahideen supporters such as Abu ‘Izzadeen and they (the ones who worry) will openly display a type of Baraa’ah against these brothers by calling them “extremists” and “radicals” etc. even though our role as Muslims is to unite - not on the basis of how the non-Muslims would see us - but on the basis of belief and activism.

Brother Anjem Choudhury, for instance, is labeled an extremist by many Muslims and Muslim groups in the West even though he never said anything which is considered Fisq, Kufr or Shirk. Forget that, he didn’t even say anything which is considered Makrooh! So what is holding us back from uniting with him and his likes? It is nothing except the obsession with the “image of Islam” (which is another issue) towards the Kuffaar. Some might ask, “So… what is the problem with that? Is that not considered Da’wah?” In some cases it is and in some cases it is not. The problem comes when we try to apply one principal (such as the old woman who threw her trash on the Prophet (sallallahu ‘alayhi wassallam) every time he passed by) to all situations. There is a context and timing for everything and it is time for us to loosen up on the aspect of becoming fearful of what the Kuffaar might say or will say since failing to do so will make us feel stupid when reading the aayah,

وَلَنْ تَرْضَى عَنْكَ الْيَهُودُ وَلا النَّصَارَى حَتَّى تَتَّبِعَ مِلَّتَهُمْ

Never will the Jews or the Christians be pleased with you unless you follow their Millah (path/religion/lifestyle). (2:120)

And every time we do read it, we find ourselves ignoring tafakkur (reflection) upon this noble verse. Is it due to the clarity in the statement of Allah Ta’aala? I believe so.
