From Christian News Wire:
Former Sultan Ali El-Shariff comments on Islam and Sudan:"Today Islam is responsible for almost all of the human sufferings from war, persecution, and poverty, particularly in the country of Sudan.
"Since the 1983 start of the civil war in the southern Sudan more than 4 million people have been displaced, and an estimated over 2 million have been killed because Islam has declared the Holy War (Jihad) (Qur'an 9:5) against the non-Muslim black indigenous people. Islam is responsible for more than 100,000 children either killed or sold as slaves in Muslim homes. Islam is responsible for raping and kidnapping more than 50,000 women during the war (Qur'an 4:3). Islam is responsible for cutting hands and feet of hundreds of innocent people because Islamic laws were applied; bringing shame and infirmity to many families for the rest of their lives. Islam is responsible of abusing millions of women every day through beating, atrocious treatment and emotional deprivation because of the Islamic teaching (Qur'an 4:34).
"It is a shame for any African American to embrace Islam which makes them a participant in these disgraceful acts. It is a shame to embrace Islam to enforce the practice of slavery, abuse of women and children and to humiliate human kind through persecution, poverty and destruction. Unfortunately, Islam always has two faces. The Islamic missionaries always present the peaceful, respectful and the nice face of Islam. The fact is, there is a real violent face of Islam that Muslims in North America try to hide. It is a shame for anyone who embraces Islam without thinking, asking questions or reading about the true face of Islam. Islam is responsible today for the destruction of lives and cultures. Sudan is a vivid example. Why would you want to be a Muslim and participate in their wicked ways?"
Why indeed?
Muhammad left quite a legacy.
Well, that's what you call telling it like it is.
So this guy was a Sultan in the Sudan?
JehanZeb? Comment?
He should get togeter with Professor Raphael Israeli.Maybe they can change something?

Raphael Israeli: Muslim apologist, thy name is coward
It's not racist to question whether Islamists can integrate into Western society
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
February 22, 2007
AS an Israeli, one becomes used to the bias of the world's media and the frustrations of being misrepresented in the face of hysteria. But as a visiting academic to the land of the fair go, I didn't expect to find the same thing here.
At the end of last week, the Australian Jewish News interviewed me about my research into Muslim communities in Europe. Having spent much of my life studying and writing about this subject, I was asked by a reporter about my views and how relevant they were to Australia. He pressed me as to whether the violence that Europe was experiencing with its Muslim population could happen here.
I said it could happen anywhere, including Australia, that Muslim immigration occurred unchecked.
The response in the media has been less than friendly. Sydney radio broadcaster Mike Carlton and The Sydney Morning Herald implied that I was a racist, and I have been denounced by some leaders of the Jewish community.
I came to Australia to speak about Islam and the Middle East and to share the fruits of my books and research. But I've been dragged into an argument on a sensational issue that was not part of my schedule here. The many audiences who were to attend my lectures throughout the land were deprived of hearing them, except that private organisations, Jewish and non-Jewish, picked up the sponsorship of those lectures and I will end up giving more lectures than previously planned.
I am vastly rewarded by the multitude of supporting voices and the outpouring of calls and emails, from Jews and non-Jews, in Australia and abroad, and by the pressing queues of learners who've signed up for my classes. (There have also been a few hostile callers, some of whom identified themselves as Muslims or Muslim converts who typically use abusive language instead of a civilised voice of reason.)
I have been researching Islam in Europe and have come to some disturbing findings about the new third Islamic invasion of Europe: specifically, the Muslim neighbourhoods that breed violence and trouble and the home-grown European Muslims who have sworn to change Europe to their tune, to Islamise it and to use violence, if necessary, to that end.
So much so that erstwhile proponents of immigration such as France, The Netherlands and Britain have had to revise their laws, introduce new restrictions and shelve the marvellous utopia of multiculturalism as simply unfeasible and counterproductive.
There is nothing racist about adopting those policies, much less about describing them in a scholarly fashion. Moreover, it's fair, honest and educative to infer from those data to other parts of the Western world, such as Australia, which face the same issues.
I do not wish to play the victim and I appreciate that Australia is noted for robust debate. But when a scholar who has no axe to grind honestly describes and analyses what policy-makers in Europe have done, and draws a straightforward conclusion about Australia, to be abused and branded as a racist is extraordinary.
Shouts and abuse are not a policy, nor do they encourage public debate. If someone wishes to dismiss data by providing alternative sets of facts and arguments, that is a debate, but by shooting the messenger instead of addressing the issue, no public cause is served. It is a fact that since 2000, Jewish facilities were attacked by Muslims in Europe and Australia, but never the other way around. To state that is racism?
Some, of course, prefer to hide behind hollow slogans of "inter-communal harmony", "inter-faith co-operation" and "multiculturalism" instead of exposing Muslim violence and inflammatory rhetoric and act, together with Muslim moderates, to uproot these phenomena.
Aware of the European parallel, I am neither surprised by the Muslim leaders' attempts to shut off any debate in Australia and intimidate anyone who raises his voice against such actions, nor by the Australian press complicity in that process. Only yesterday I received threats from a Chechen Islamic website. So much for civilised debate.
But I am stunned by the behaviour of some Jewish leaders, who didn't seek to find out what I had said but instead relied on a report in the Australian Jewish News that misrepresented the context (not distorted or falsified) of what I said. Instead of supporting free debate in this country, these Jewish leaders have elected to shamefully disown it in statements that were geared to placate Muslims.
People who lack courage and stamina to stand up for principles, who whisper in my ear that they agree with me but then act in public to protect their positions and the illusions they are trying to cultivate in this society, do not act in a Jewish, Australian or even civilised fashion.
Raphael Israeli, a professor of Islamic, Middle East and Chinese history at the Hebrew University in Jerusalem, has been brought to Australia by the Shalom Institute of the University of NSW.
This was amazing as General Patton stated this about Islam in his memoirs. He stated it had stagnated the entire people's under it for almost a thousand years.
Of course the liberal snot who did the forward to Patton's book was attacking Patton for writing that, but now here is someone existing in the misery of Islam stating the very fact.
I guess being called names like Patton puts everyone who is called names now for pointing out facts in not only great company, but HONEST company.
The truth wins out and comes out. A billion miserable impoverished people in China, Indonesia and India each might be a lesson that there just may be some kind of blessing associated with cultures based in Judeo Christian absolutes of caring for others and the freedom to be who one is RESPONSIBLY.
No sermons, but the fact remains that you can have a world full of 6 billion Robert Spencers and one would have peace, but with Islam 2 people means a war.

"Information And Islam
Tuesday, February 27, 2007 12:19 AM
The Information Age may pose the greatest threat that Islam has ever faced, particularly in the uncensored West. Many Muslims are finding out for the first time that the details of their prophet’s life are very much out of step with the revered image of a perfect and holy man. Neither are educated Westerners finding many aspects of Islamic law to be compatible with their own values....."
For those in Sydney who are interested, AANCC is screening 'Imams gone wild' as a follow up to "Islam: What the west needs to know" which was a great night!.
I picked this up from AP over the weekend. Do you suppose this fellow is responding to the blacks in America being indoctrinated by this wonderful African leader?

DETROIT - Sudan's president told attendees of the Nation of Islam's national convention Friday that the United States is exaggerating troubles in his country's volatile Darfur region so it can control the country as it has in Iraq.
President Omar al-Bashir was invited to speak via satellite at the three-day convention by representatives of longtime Nation leader Louis Farrakhan. Al-Bashir said he was using the address, which was scheduled for live broadcast on Sudanese television, to call on the mass media and American public to learn the truth about his country.
What did MLK say about the truth shall live?
Three days of hate fest in Detroit, Mainstream Muslims working together with Nation of Islam wack jobs. I fear for our cities in the coming months.
This is where I got the stuff about Mainstream Muslims. from the AP on Friday.

Mainstream Muslims to join Farrakhan Thu Feb 22, 6:20 PM ET
The Islamic Society of North America, which represents orthodox, mostly
immigrant Muslims, will join ailing Nation of Islam leader Louis
Farrakhan this weekend in Detroit at what is billed as his final major
address.
Imam Siraj Wahhaj, a longtime member of the Islamic Society, said he has
accepted Farrakhan's invitation to give a sermon at Friday prayers ahead
of the minister's speech on Sunday at Ford Field, the Plainfield-based
Islamic Society said.
The Islamic Society's participation is significant because mainstream
Muslims have considered the Nation heretical. Among their many
differences, the Nation has promoted black supremacy, while mainstream
Islam teaches racial unity. However, in recent years Farrakhan has
adopted more orthodox teachings and has tried to build ties with other
Muslims.
... and dubya parrots: 'Izlum is peace'. Go figure!
I believe George W. Bush's disasterous international legacy will be borne out and defined by his inability and willful determination not to understand Islam on even a basic level, and see it only in his own narrow, imagined context. Imagine how the fortunes of Iraq would have gone had he picked up the work of Robert Spencer and learned something truthful? Or any of the other intellectually honest and historically accurate authors? Or even if he actually knew something of the history of his own country's first battle with Islamic Jihad and studied Thomas Jefferson and the Barbary Coast legacy? And then acted knowledgably and decisively with precedent and a role model of greatness to point to, with factual truth to sell the American public on. Instead, his response, when questioned about Jihad, is to say and repeat like a dumb-faced mantra: "Religious people don't do things like that."

Farrkhan sidekick Malik Zulu Shabbazz was on TV last night, spouting his victimist doggerel. The egregious Sean Hannity was charmed.
Shabbazz and Hannity. If you're into geeky fare, it doesn't get much better than that.

Mike Carlton is a self indulgent dufus, known to many as a self proclaimed expert on anything he cares to respond to or make comment on (especially Union, NOT!!). So, never mind him calling you a racist. His thimbleful knowledge of Islam has again qualified him as an expert. Oh yeah. So please ignore fools like him and your own PC chained bretheren. Please continue to inform people of the truth, it is slowly sifting through via the brave efforts of you and many others.
""It is a shame for any African American to embrace Islam which makes them a participant in these disgraceful acts."
...African Americans embrace Islam a way to combat "whitey"....
...If they viewed Islams treatment of blacks correctly, they might think otherwise....
Who is Sultan Ali El-Shariff?
lebowski, Germany
I met some devout west Indian Christians in London once they were on the ball re islam.
When labour tried to pass the Racial and Religious Hatred law last year there was a large demonstration by african Christians outside Parliament against the proposed law.
Can American JW'ers please tell me are there any prominent black christians who speak against islam ?
We here about sharpton, jesse jackson being very pro palestinian.
What is the feeling in the black churches ?
Black rastafarians in the UK are on the ball because they know the deal with Ethiopia.
Sooner or later Ayan Hersi Ali will meet that bafoon oprah, should be interesting.
Hooray! More articles like this one need to be released into the mainstream media. It is about time for the mask to be ripped from Islam's ugly visage. More than any other thing, non-Muslim women must refuse to marry Muslim men. This one lever could begin applying massive pressure to polygamist Islam.
