France files charges in transnational jihad funding scheme

Eurabia Alert: Here's the case of a man "of Turkish and Dutch origin," extradited from the Netherlands to face charges in France for funding a group seeking to establish "an Islamic regime across Central Asia."

"Suspected head of Uzbek extremist funding group charged," from Agence France-Presse, July 19:

PARIS - The suspected head of a group providing funding to Islamic extremists in Uzbekistan was charged in France after being extradited from the Netherlands, a source familiar with the case said on Saturday.
Irfan Demirtas, of Turkish and Dutch origin, was accused late Friday of funding terrorism by French judges Thierry Fragnoli and Philippe Coirre and placed in custody, the source said.
Demirtas was one of 10 people arrested in May in a crackdown led by France on people suspected of helping fund the Islamic Movement of Uzbekistan (IMU), which was formed in 1998 and claims to be linked to Al-Qaeda.
Eight arrests took place in a suburb of the eastern French city of Mulhouse and in the central Rhone region, one in the Netherlands and one in Germany. One suspect was later released in France.
Police found several firearms and a large amount of cash during searches of the suspects' homes on Friday, a police source said at the time. Computer discs and files were seized.
The French domestic DST intelligence agency had been investigating the ring for close to a year and the arrests were ordered by anti-terrorism judge Fragnoli.
Originally formed to overthrow Uzbekistan's President Islam Karimov and set up an Islamic regime across Central Asia, the IMU is said to be active on the volatile border between Pakistan and Afghanistan and is listed as a terrorist group by the United States.

It's coming people. The rise of the Ummah. We're everywhere. You see us working in powerful positions in your universities, hospitals, law firms, and your neighborhood shops. You see us at the mall, at the movies, and at the local coffee shop. We're saving are money, and making babies at an alarming rate. Cute little muslim babies everywhere who will grow up and make more cute little muslim babies, some will even marry your daughters. Can you picture your cute little daughter in hijab? Think about it. Masjids are being built everywhere, many big cities now have mosques numbering in the hundreds. We're here to stay, and you will see us more and more because we are growing faster than you religously, economically and socially. Accept change, and deal with it. We're not that bad, in fact we're not bad at all.

Here's the case of a man "of Turkish and Dutch origin," extradited from the Netherlands to face charges in France for funding a group seeking to establish "an Islamic regime across Central Asia."
-- the summary that introduces the article above

Yes, perhaps this article, and ten thousand more like it, could be brought to the attention of Mr. Carle (whom google), who apparently believes that aside from Al Qaeda, all other Muslims in the world are animated by purely "local" and "nationalist" impulses, and not in, as others of us believe, in the cause of Islam everywhere, as of course subject to the definitions supplied at the local level. One more case of mix-n'-match, that cause Arabs to be found in Pakistan and Afghanistan, or Pakistanis to be found in Lebanon (some were discovered in Sabra -- or was it Shatila?), and Somalis in France, and Moroccans in Italy, and so on).

Talib. Only in your dreams. "We're not that bad, in fact we're not bad at all." You are that bad, in fact, you're worse than bad, but the infidels are learning fast and this civilisation is not going to fall to Islamic barbarism. Islamosavvy free thinking infidels will outsmart you with technology to counter Islam, such that you will wish you had never heard of Allah or Mohammad.

Talib the west maybe not the goverments but the people have awaken.
Why dont you tell us the advantages of a muslim world if my daughters raped i kill her or is it the part about i would not be man enough to control myself so i put my women in full garb.
Maybe i would like the legality of beating my women or hey theres always the part of praying to as mohammad described a god that overwhelmingly sounds like the same god he describes just like the devil.
If islam took over the world muslims like they are now would just kill muslims things such as kidnapping 10 and 11 year olds and marrying them to muslims proves like the indoenesian sacrifices before weddings of young christian girls who it is you worship you my friend your daughter mother father are true evil.

spcbat, wow the crazy stuff you are saying is not Islam, and if you are that crazy to believe the rubbish that you just wrote, really there's no helping you. You're a moron, bugger you. Yea and I'm evil, right. booga booga! Get a life.

No one on this website has an IQ higher than 10.

Sorry for posting twice, but it takes like five minutes to see your post once you click on Post on this bloody site. Robert Spencer, hate monger number one, must be checking the text on each post for words like jihad and keeping a count. He wants to make sure that he's the only one using the word jihad to absurdity.

Talib,
Your statement of an explicit Muslim intention of demographic conquest in the west is most enlightening. Islam is such a tawdry religion / ethical system it has little choice but resort to 'breeding like mosquitoes' as one Norwegian imam put it, if it is to stand any chance of increasing its influence in the world: it's certainly incapable of doing so by force of argument or by pointing out its outstanding achievements - as opposed to threats and violence. That no Muslim apologist can even function without resorting to lies very early on in the proceedings, is eloquent testimony to the ramshackle state of your culture's intellectual life.

By the way, why not visit a truly bloody website if you don't like this one. I believe there are ones where you can see videos of Islamic psychopaths beheading non-Muslims. Apparently they're very popular with Muslim youths (no doubt some of them are the 'not bad at all' people you mention.)

We're not that bad, in fact we're not bad at all.

Wrong. You're VERY BAD. You won't confront the scum among you and tell them to quit using violence against unbelievers.

Until you direct your attention to those among you who are using violence to force Islam onto everyone else, then you're just like them.

Talib ('student')

IF you really are a Muslim (I'm aware you might be a non-Muslim agent provocateur hoping to stir up some 'hate speech', or even just a common or garden troll, yanking our chains for fun), here's a word in your ear. Several words.

Taqiyya and the charge of hate-speech and Islamophobia won't work, here. *I* don't hate the jihad- and sharia-minded Muslims - I pity them, seeing them as dehumanised human slaves of an inhuman and antihuman ideology.

I pity them as Corrie ten Boom's sister Betsie, in Ravensbruck, pitied the young Nazi female guard whom she saw beating a helpless prisoner. But my pity does not cause me to want kafir humanity to roll over and permit the Muslims to stamp their boot down upon our faces; rather, my pity leads me to pray for the Defeat of the Jihad, for unless the jihad is smashed, unless an Islam-free zone can be maintained, then those free spirits, born within Islam, who are fighting their way out of it, will have nowhere to defect to, nowhere to find refuge.

Corrie ten Boom and her sister prayed for the victory of the allies over the Nazis and over the pitiless forces of Imperial Japan.

*I* pray for the defeat of Jihad; for the victory of Israel, the USA, India, Philippines, Thailand, Ethiopia, Russia, as they face jihad both within and without...and I pray for the liberation of the persecuted Copts, of the Assyrian Christians, and of all other non-Muslims currently crushed by Muslim tyranny and cruelty. I pray also for the awakening of the West; the phoenix rising, as it has risen before, in history.

The following people are not hate speakers. No: they are truth-tellers. Kurt Westergaard and Geert Wilders. Robert Spencer, Bat Yeor, Andrew Bostom, Bill Warner (centre for the study of political Islam), Ayaan Hirsi Ali, Bishop Michael Nazir-Ali, Canon Patrick Sookhdeo (apostate from Islam; convert to Christ), Stephen Coughlin, Aaron Klein, Wafa Sultan, Nonie Darwish, Daniel Shayesteh (once a Persian Muslim, now a very, very happy Persian Christian), Ali Sina and Ibn Warraq and Taslima Nasreen and Robert Redeker and Oriana Fallaci (God bless her!) and Jacques Ellul (Righteous Among the Nations, may his memory be a blessing). These people are my heroes.

Oh, and here's what a great anti-slavery campaigner, John Quincy Adams, said in the early 19th century, about Islam. Every word of it is objectively, verifiably, demonstrably true: a plain description of what Islam says and what it has done and is doing.


"The precept of the Koran is, perpetual war against all who deny, that Mahomet is the prophet of God.

'The vanquished may purchase their lives, by the payment of tribute; the victorious may be appeased by a false and delusive promise of peace; and the faithful follower of the prophet, may submit to the imperious necessities of defeat: but the command to propagate the Moslem creed by the sword is always obligatory, when it can be made effective.

'The commands of the prophet may be performed alike, by fraud, or by force".

John Quincy Adams was a wise and decent man and a great statesman. I trust his judgement, on the matter of Islam, far more than I trust the spindoctors, whitewashers and slithery taqiyya artists.

I look at Mohammed ha-Meshugga, at the Quran, and at Islam, and at the record of history - history recorded by muslims as well as by their non-Muslim targets and victims - and I see clear proof that Mohammed is a 'prophet' of war, the Quran a book of war, and Islam a religion of war. I see that Islam is a system that is very skilled at destroying, at killing lots and lots of human beings very cruelly, but - compared to various other civilisations and belief systems - creates very little of value.

I see despotism and criminal aggression proliferating, everywhere that Islam has ever taken root; I see intellectual and moral and ecological and social collapse, poverty and paralysing fatalism, the silencing of music and bells, the erasure of the visual arts, the stifling of the free inquiry and rational thinking necessary for genuine scientific progress; I see horrific violence against women sanctioned by the notorious wife-beating verse in the Quran and many interpreters of that verse, I see the forced marriage and rape of little girls, and I see slavery practised on a scale that makes me shudder with disgust.

Oh, and by the way, I believe polygamy (more correctly, polygyny, multiple wives) destroys and oppresses women and children, no matter who practices it; and Islam is currently the main practitioner and promoter of polygyny, so for that alone, Islam - the system - repels me.

There you have it.

I don't hate you (I'll pray for you); but if you are living anywhere in a non-Muslim land, and if you do ANYTHING that our laws declare to be a criminal act (such as, for example, stealing from kafir, or raping kafir, or plotting to kill kafir, or committing bigamy by taking a second or third or fourth wife 'under the radar') I will pray that the full force of kafir law hits you like a ton of bricks. If your sister goes out with a kafir, or refuses to wear hijab, or converts to Christianity (or Hinduism, or Buddhism, or atheism), then if you kill her for it, or try to kill her, same deal: you'll get caught and locked up for murder, and I will applaud the judge.

In the interests of being precisely accurate, the phrase in my final sentence that reads 'locked up for murder', should read 'locked up for murder, or for attempted murder'.

will be interesting to know what the French judges are going to do with this Bozo

Seems to me the French are going after Muslims for promoting Jihad in far off lands...

Rather than going after their internal Muslim problem by booting out seditious Imams. Closing Jihadist mosques. Policing Muslim neighborhoods that have become no-go zones

France must stop all Muslim immigration including bringing over wives and husbands from Muslim lands

dumbledoresarmy,
Nice use of copy and paste. It seems no one here is able to express an independent thought or opinion. I was stunned to read though that you said "I was stirring up hate speech"? Please explain, in your own words this time, what I said that is stirring up hate speech? I'm puzzled by that? Then you said you are aware that I am non muslim. The only thing you seem to be aware of is your own despair. I am muslim, la illah ha illallah.

Oh and I will be praying for you too my friend, and I do live in a "non muslim land" as you put it so dramatically, and I am bound by my deen that dictates that I should obey all the laws of the country that I am living in and stand in defense of it, and I will, and I believe in this country, it's warm friendly generous people, (with exception of the occaisional moron like you, of course), it's freecom of religion and speech.

Inshallah muslims will play an even greater role in this country in the coming generations as we grow in numbers, even more than they already are in areas such as education, healthcare, and engineering, and I pray that muslims will move into other areas of study, including journalism, business, and government, so as you can see I love this country, so if YOU do anything against the laws of this land, I hope that you will be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law, and "I" will be sure to APPLAUD the judge.

Good day

so does the Usa . they must clean their colleges. they must stop students visas, they must put CAIR out of business and the list is as long as the French one.


You have to clean you own home before you give advice to your neighbors

I get so annoyed how the word extremists is thrown around. These guys are part of the umma and they are as mainstream as any muslim in the world. We need to make it clear that these operations are funded by muslims not muslim extremists.

Tartine, If you are a student then why don't you study the writings of the authors and experts that dumbledore's listed. Being defensive and sarcastic only shows your lack of knowledge and objectivity. It would do well for you to expand your horizons and quit fearing the inimitable truth which is liable to slap you in the face.
The truth shall set you free.

'Talib' doesn't like cut and paste.

But cut and paste does have its uses. I find, for example, that Mr Hugh Fitzgerald's postings seldom date. Here is one from 2005, written not long after the jihadi terror bombings in London in July that year.

I suggest, ladies and gentlemen, that you re-read 'Talib's' 11.24 AM response to me, above, slowly and carefully, paying attention to the keywords;

and then read the following remarks by Hugh Fitzgerald, in the comments field to this article (scroll down)

http://www.jihadwatch.org/dhimmiwatch/archives/007341.php

also paying attention to the keywords and phrasing.

I think you will find the experience, the comparison and contrast, between Talib's words, and Hugh's, a source of...illumination.

Here is what Hugh says:

"As far as Muslims "loving this country and obeying its laws" there are two points to make.

"One can "love" the freedoms and all the opportunity that an Infidel country offers, and even insist that "this is our country"

(which is in fact a menacing phrase, the menace not undrstood by Infidels, where the real and disturbing claim of rightful possession by Muslims is being made, and the same is true for that phrase "we are here to stay" -- meaning, no matter what we do, or what we work towards, you have no right to dislodge us, or prevent us from doing this),

'and still work for the domination of that country by Islam, still work to change it into something that will no longer have the same political and social arrangements and freedoms.

'Muslims exploit the idea of pluralism as long as it is useful to them, but in the end they wish not pluralism but domination by Islam, and any Muslim who denies this is either wilfully ignorant of Islam, or wilfully bent on misleading Infidels about the tenets of Islam).

'Furthermore, this "obeying the laws" business -- meaning paying taxes, not jay-walking, and so on -- is dwelled upon far too much.

'Yes, isn't it nice that Muslims do not join Hells' Angels or do a line of coke (though there are plenty of Muslims in the drug trade in France, Italy, and elsewhere).

'But if Muslins work to change the laws of the land, the most important laws of the land, the defense that some are "law-abiding" just won't cut the mustard.

'And in looking for terrorists, by the way, American police have discovered all kinds of credit-card scams, cigarette-smuggling, avoidance of taxes, an astonishing amount of crime (just look at Sydney, Australia, and the Muslim Lebanese who control so much of that city's criminal activities -- more power to the Mafia and the Chinese and Russian gangsters who may be able to deal with the Muslim malavita in a way the police cannot).'
