"Live with self-respect or die honorably"
Including new evidence indicating that the Holy Land Foundation for Relief and Development was quite fond of citing Abdullah Azzam (1941–1989, pictured above), the mujahid/scholar mentor of Osama bin Laden who often boastfully referred to the prophet of Islam as "the first terrorist and first menace." Wrote Azzam: “We are terrorists. Every Muslim must be a terrorist. Terrorism is an obligation as demonstrated in the Koran and sunna. Allah Most High said: ‘Muster against them [infidels] all the men and cavalry at your command, so that you may strike terror into the heart of your enemy and Allah’s enemy’ (8:60). Thus terrorism is a [religious] obligation. And the Messenger of Allah is the first terrorist and the first menace” (from Al-Hijra wa Al-I ’dad). More on the HLF here and here.
"HLF Trial Update: 'It is time for you to pledge death,'" from the Investigative Project on Terrorism, October 3:
DALLAS - From donations urging violence to advertisements and videos lauding one of the fathers of global jihad, evidence in the Hamas-support trial against former officials at the Holy Land Foundation for Relief and Development (HLF) Thursday took a decidedly bloody tone.The five defendants are accused of illegally funneling $12 million to Hamas through a series of charities, or zakat committees in the West Bank and Gaza. FBI agent Lara Burns has been on the witness stand all week, presenting evidence establishing the group's stated and passionate support for Hamas.
A mistrial was declared last October after jurors could not reach unanimous verdicts on most counts. Defendant Mohamed El-Mezain was acquitted on all counts against him with the exception of a conspiracy to provide material support to terrorists.
This time, added care seems to be taken to identify all the players and define their connections to the case. In addition, some of the exhibits were not entered into evidence last year.
Defense attorneys argue the men merely sought to alleviate suffering by needy Palestinians living under occupation. The images displayed Thursday rarely invoked those needy people, but focused instead on the need to attack.
Several exhibits showing HLF's invocation Abdullah Azzam, an iconic Palestinian jihadist, are among the new evidence presented by the government. Azzam moved to Pakistan after the Russian invasion of Afghanistan to set up the Office of Services of the Holy Warriors (Mujahideen) and is considered a mentor to Osama bin Laden.
The Azzam exhibits were admitted over the objection of defense attorneys. Under the judge's order, jurors were not told of Azzam's role with bin Laden and the global jihad, but did hear references to Azzam's work on behalf of Afghanistan's mujahideen. In a video from a 1988 rally in California, the year HLF was founded as the Occupied Land Fund, Azzam is shown urging Palestinians to fight to the death:
"O, people of Palestine, it is time for you to pledge death.
Live with self-respect or die honorably between
piercing lances and fluttering flags. The heads
of the spears are stronger than treachery and are
a better healing to the cunning chest of the envious.
What is life? What is life if I don't live it with honor and respect."
Read it all.
End the War? End Jihad
"The heads of the spears are stronger than treachery and are a better healing to the cunning chest of the envious."
....................................
For some reason, the Red Cross and Christian Children's Fund don't use quite this sort of language when they talk about "healing".
For a while after 9/11, I thought that all the stories we were hearing about money for Islamic charities going to fund terrorism was a form of fraud--money laundering. I believed that most donors gave money in good faith, to help build hospitals and schools and help out sick kids and the victims of natural disasters--you know, the sort of things most people think about when they consider "charity".
I no longer believe that. I don't think the concept of Zakat is exactly analagous to the idea of Charity. The main purpose of Zakat is aiding the spread of Islam--that is seen as the greatest good. So some of the money may indeed go to sick kids, but is far more likely to go to the families of suicide bombers, or to "provide material support to terrorists".
from above:
Defense attorneys argue the men merely sought to alleviate suffering by needy Palestinians living under occupation.
...............................
And what does this mean to many Muslims? Why, ending that "occupation", of course, by killing Jews and doing all they can to wipe Israel off the map.
So, for groups such as HLF, they were in no way "misusing" funds--they were using donations entirely in the way most were intended.
So Mr spencer, is this what all this mess is about? White Nationalism?

You have no escape now Mr.Spencer. this is coming from your friend, Baron Bodissey, the one you've just met and drank champagne with last month in Washington DC.
http://gatesofvienna.blogspot.com/2008/09/mr-bodissey-goes-to-washington.html#readfurther
So what is your excuse now? Ooooh, it's his own opinion and I have nothing to do with that and bla bla bla.
Well as we say, birds of the same feather flock together.
drop the mask and stop fooling your readers.
PS: by the way, are you even considered white by those folks to hang out with them and work for their cause?
Maybe you'll be considered an honorary white when the fourth reich regime is restored?
Mr lorenza have i not read your posts on la razza[the races web site] kind of like the pot calling the kettle black .
The reason you defend the racists that being muslims or bigots is cause you are just like them you believe it is time to make the white man pay listen bro sell the crap to anyone else who gives a crap i read your posts in other places ya racist pig viva the race huh ya sac of well never mind.
Get lost, Lorenzo. They're not preaching white nationalism there, and you damned well know it. In fact, Fjordman argues that the concept is meaningless in a European context. They're arguing for nationalism, plain and simple.
And anyway, Mr. Spencer is NOT responsible for the opinions of others, and he always and everywhere distances himself from any hint of racism, while you and your ilk wallow in it. Your remarks about Mr. Spencer's ethnicity would get you deleted and banned if not for wanting to show you for the mindless buffoon and rabble-rouser you are.
You make me sick. You can rail about the evil of Robert Spencer but you have nothing to say about the numberless legions of Mohammedan zombies preaching death and hatred in virtually every nation on Earth.
This thread is about HLF. If you have nothing to say about it you should go elsewhere. I hope Marisol's trigger finger is getting itchy.
Sorry, Raymond. I can't remember what I wanted to say about HLF LOL.
Wrote Azzam: "We are terrorists. Every Muslim must be a terrorist. Terrorism is an obligation as demonstrated in the Koran and sunna. Allah Most High said: 'Muster against them [infidels] all the men and cavalry at your command, so that you may strike terror into the heart of your enemy and Allah’s enemy' (8:60)."
Every Muslim must be a terrorist? Well, it doesn't get much plainer than that, now does it? Finally, a Muslim who understands the Qur'an and who is making no apologies for being a true Muslim, and who is calling other Muslims to be true to Islam's cause, too. Here's a guy who is willing to draw a line in the sand with other Muslims. Almost a refreshing change from the other tripe.
spcbot,
I am not a hispanic (or you prefer spic?).
I am a white european, however, I would never like to have anything to do with old-fashioned tribalist bigots like you. Here is a tip. Go to an island and try to form a pure lily whity aryan colony, away from any type of "contamination".
Remember the duality that is inherent in Islam. If a Muslim acts in a dishonorable fashion BUT his/her actions advance Islam, he/she is thought to be a good Muslim.
Wow, that's a nice little strawman you built there, Albert! Spcbat didn't mention anything about your race, but rather accused you of making racist comments on an overtly racist website (La Raza.)
Oh, sorry, Lorenzo. I didn't know you were white. That's a different matter. Heck, I thought you were a minority.
All white folks are OK with us. White jihadis, even.
Please forgive. You can understand my mistake. I figured the mangling of "Birds of a feather flock together" was a dead giveaway that you aren't white.
Now I see you're just illiterate and uneducated, which is fine so long as you're white.
My hair's turning white.
Abu allah,
Primo, yes he implied I was some sort of hispanic supremacist who's a frequent poster at la Raza website. Next time wear your glasses.
Segundo.
I don't post at racist and hate-filled websites, be they La Raza, stormfront or gates of vienna.
but anyway, nice attempt.

You're the one who showed up with both guns blazing, so same to you, pal.
Dear Albert Lorenzo:
You seem to have missed, probably willfully, this clear denunciation of Heinz Christian Strache I wrote several days ago:
http://www.jihadwatch.org/archives/022898.php
You also seem to have missed my many statements denouncing race supremacism, neo-Nazism, neofascism, etc.
Here is just one of them:
http://www.jihadwatch.org/archives/022665.php
Are you interested in facts, or are you just a smear artist hiding behind a false name?
I tend to think you are the latter.
Cordially
Robert Spencer
But I realize, Mr. Lorenzo, that you are claiming that I am insincere in the opinions I have expressed, and so citing my expressing them does no good.
You are saying that what I really think is revealed by the fact that I was at a party with white nationalists such as...Andrew Bostom and Tony Blankley. Obviously, the only problem with your argument is that they aren't white nationalists.
And if the new criterion for determining what someone really believes, when it is contrary to his stated positions, is who attends parties at which the person in question was present, then there should be some very, very interesting revelations coming out of Washington.
Once I spoke on a bill that also included Hillary Clinton. She had no idea who I was and no need to know, because unlike me, she is not held responsible for the views of other people who spoke at the same event. Or maybe you will start accusing her of being a white nationalist also, since she spoke at this event with me and I was at this infamous party.
I guess if I went to a party also attended by a major league baseball player, then I must also be a major league baseball player. I've met Willie Mays, in fact, so I guess I'm a Hall of Famer.
What I hope to do is someday attend a party filled with jazz saxophone masters, as I never have been a very good player myself. And here I thought practice was the key to proficiency.

Robert Spencer
Yo al, bla bla bla, piss and moan, cry cry cry. Wipe those pretty little tears off your face and BE A MAN!
Mr.Spencer
I am not talking about Blankley or Bostom. I am talking about the individual who goes by the name of Baron Bodissey.
Do you deny his obvious and self-admitted white nationalist leanings? Do you deny you didn't party with him in DC last month?
Here is what he wrote:
"Above are Andy Bostom and Robert Spencer of Jihad Watch. I happened to take the photo at the exact moment that someone made a very funny joke, which served my purposes much better than “cheese”."
So you attend meetings sponsored by far-right organizations, "party" with owners of white-nationalist and racist blogs, but you have nothing to do with all this mess?.
What about Fjördman? the respected, courageous and honourable (did I miss something) Fjordman, frequent poster at this website and well-known white nationalist online guru (or defender of the rights of the indigenous european peoples as he prefers to say).
Come on, drop the mask Mr spencer.
You're free to ally with whomeover you want, just don't fool your "honest" readers (since I can see the ones that still post are clearly sympathetic to Baron's views, hein Mr La Razza? ).
Albert Lorenzo:
Yes, Bodissey was there. I do not believe he is a white nationalist.
Do you believe Blankley and Bostom, as well as Bodissey, are also white nationalists, because they were there in Bodissey's presence? Or is it just me?
Others were there also. It may surprise you who turns out to be a white nationalist. But I am giving you no more grist for your mill.
My stated positions are clear. You have nothing to go on to doubt them, except a thirst for defamation.

Nobody ever innocently donated money to the HLF. Muslims, as a matter of principle, do not believe in charity. They believe that whatever misfortunes befall people, be they natural disasters or whatever, are the fault of the victims for either not being Muslims or for not being good enough Muslims. Of course, when things happen to them as individuals, as nations, as tribes, or as an ummah there is always someone to blame, usually the West, America, and the Joooos. But there has never been a legitimate Islamic charity and there never will be. This is why all Muslims are terrorists. They are required, per the 4th Pillar, to fund terrorism. 'Zakat' translates more accurately to 'alms for jihad' than it does 'charity.' Since there are no legitimate Islamic charities and since that zakat money can't pass through non-Muslim hands, even if they wanted to donate it to charity they couldn't. The next best thing they could do would be to donate it to the mosque, but 99% of the mosques in North America and Europe, and many of the ones in Africa as well, are owned by the Muslim Brotherhood, so 10% of their money goes to administrative costs, 10% of it goes to terror propaganda (jummahs by ISNA imams or whatever), and the rest of it goes to stealth jihad in the free world and to Hamas.
This Alberto Lorenzo loser got his ass handed to him by Max Publius and myself over on Max's blog a couple of weeks ago. Don't feel bad. Apparently, according to him, I'm a Nazi. Nevermind that I'm Jewish. Logic is not one of his strong suits.
Every time there's a terrorist or terror-related trial in America, I fear another break-down of the unanimous jury system, where one single recalcitrant juror with an agenda can thwart the dispensation of justice.
Who opened the door and let that blowfly in here...
Get out of town Albert, you have the manners of a bore...
Yes, Bodissey was there. I do not believe he is a white nationalist

From wikipedia(white nationalism):
...Supporters say they stand for racial self-preservation and claim culture itself is a product of race.[12] As a result, according to Huntington, they say the demographic shift in the US towards non-whites brings a new culture that is intellectually and morally inferior...
----------------------------------------
From Bodissey's latest rant:
http://gatesofvienna.blogspot.com/2008/10/were-all-racists-now.html#readfurther
-Unfortunately, since race is the only framework in which this can be viewed, such plain facts are denied. No one can discuss them without being called a racist. If you’re employed in government or academia and you say these things, you can kiss your career goodbye. Honest factual discussion is completely strangled except in pariah forums like this one.
-However, as a general rule, there is a broad swath of ethnicity that has no trouble becoming American. That’s why “American” is an ethnicity, and not just an idea, whether we like to admit it or not. The “idea” is possible because it’s an idea that is native to Northern Europe, and resonates with most people who come from Northern European cultures. In America these Europeans can recognize something familiar, and vice versa.
-America must become more brown and less white, more Muslim and less Christian, in order that the Global Utopia may be realized.
-The best course, in my opinion, is to take a deep breath and say, “I’m a racist. The reason that I’m a racist is that I cherish my own people and prefer the company of my own kind over that of foreigners. I accept my basic racism, and I’m OK with it.”
------------------------------------------------
Sorry Mr Spencer but I believe my "lying" eyes.
Good luck in your career and future endeavors.
Brigitte Gabriel was also at the party. I suppose she must be a white nationalist by association, as well? You sir, are disingenuous.
Azzam: “We are terrorists. Every Muslim must be a terrorist. Terrorism is an obligation as demonstrated in the Koran and sunna...
I concur with that diagnosis Doctor.
Of course there is always ten percent who don't get the word so you may have to scream a little louder...You will have better results if you face Mecca when you do it...
Race baiting; the bludgeon the radical Left hopes will be an unassailable emotional argument to promote their feelings based political and economic agendas.
Societies based on those ideas have never thrived and never will. They work great for whipping up emotion, but ignore some basic truths of human motivation, economics, and principles of individual liberty. Leftist governments in the twentieth century killed millions of their own people in the name economic and social “justice”; all while claiming to reach for that Workers Utopia. Today's Left has an equally unhealthy fascination with race, class, and gender politics; and it seems revel in using them as divisive tools to promote their idea of a Global Utopia, no matter how many lives of every persuasion they ruin.
How many people are you willing to sacrifice for the “greater good”, Albert? Go for it; do Marx and Gramsci proud, because so far Stalin and Mao have the record.
There is an obnoxious tendency these days to overplay the guilt by association card.
If someone doubts that someone else is a white nationalist, he is ipso facto a white nationalist himself.
If I was at a party with someone accused of being a white nationalist, then I must be one also.
Even if his words have nothing to do with genocide or even institutionalized discrimination, and even if he was employing a rather obvious reductio ad absurdum in his closing comments, Baron Bodissey will be accused of being a white nationalist, and he will deal with that accusation as he sees fit.
But it is not up to me to deal with it. Let me be perfectly clear: I refuse to be held responsible for the views of everyone else who has ever been in the same room with me, or has gone to a party that I also attended, or who spoke at a conference with me.
This is simple common sense.
If I spoke on a bill with Hillary Clinton, and I did, at Temple of the Arts in Los Angeles a couple of years ago, then by this logic Hillary and I must agree on everything, no?
Well, ask Hillary what she thinks about that.
But me, I have had enough of this. It is beyond absurd. It is beneath rational discussion.

This post got me thinking about something:
Suppose we take the defendant at his word: He really intended only to "relieve the suffering of the orphans and widows" of "Palestine". He still ended up donating money to a radical, violent, Islamist, terrorist organization. So, if we believe him, then we must conclude that a Muslim has mistaken a radical Islamist group for a 'moderate' peacefull one. We have been told that there is an obvious and qualitative divide betwen "radical Islam" and "moderate Islam". However, we see here, and in other cases, instances where Muslims themselves have failed to distinguish between these supposedly distinct groups/ideologies. If Muslims themselves do not always distinguish between "radical" and "moderate" Islam, I think we can be forgiven for occasionally failing to see that distinction as well.
needy Palestinians living under occupation.
hmm hang on i thought the arabs aka the Palestinians ancestors occupied the jews lands and as for mr Albert Lorenzo imo he is just a troll we should ignore
Well, I certainly managed to get Robert in trouble. Sorry about that, Mr. Spencer!
It just goes to show that some people cannot detect bitter irony when they read it. I should have used the irony mark (؟) so that even the slow-witted might catch my drift.
It also shows that I'm right in what I said: one *cannot* discuss the matter of race without having the dogs of the racism-mongers loosed upon oneself. The subject is simply too red-hot to be touched.
But I have made my decision: I *refuse* to precede my remarks with the mandatory disclaimer "I'm not a racist, but..." or "I deplore white nationalism, but..."
Saying things like that cedes territory to the race-baiters, and I won't do it.
It gets me in trouble and has turned an honest Counterjihad blog into a pariah site, but that's the way it goes. That's what happens under the laws of PC if you veer from accepted formulations.
My body of work speaks for itself. Visit http://gatesofvienna.blogspot.com, browse the archives, look at the "important posts", read Fjordman's work, and decide for yourselves. Since you're Jihad Watch readers, I assume you're reasonably intelligent. I don't have to tell you whether or not I'm a racist. I'm sure you can figure it out.
You'll also notice that our commenters range from Muslim and liberal trolls through reasonable people on both the right and the left to the "race nationalists" and the hard-core Nazis. I let them be, provided that they abide by our four easy-to-understand rules for commenters.
I do that because I sincerely believe in the value of free speech, and I thrive on being disagreed with. Come on over and disagree -- I won't delete you as long as you are civil, temperate, on-topic, and show decorum in what you post.
There was a time when I would knuckle under to the PC Thought Police, but that time is long past.

Some may not be able to detect irony, but unfortunately for all of us, many simply choose not to recognize it.

An attitude that should be shared by everyone. Political correctness isn’t the same as civility; and our common enemies aren’t concerned with either, except as a tool to weaken our resolve.
Evidently bigots, racist, xenophobes and nationalist are only available in white.
Strange. Why is that?
He really intended only to "relieve the suffering of the orphans and widows" of "Palestine".
Not so much. For one thing, those 'orphans' and 'widows' don't even feel sorry for themselves. They receive handsome monetary rewards for their husband's/father 'martyrdom,' which invariably amounts to far more than he would have made in two lifetimes of a career in parasitism, and they praise him as a 'shaheed.' If those orphans and widows want to relieve their suffering they can apostacize and stop worshipping death, living to kill Israelis, and here's a really novel idea: get freaking jobs and pull themselves up by their bootstraps.
Besides, I thought there were no orphans in Islam. I thought that Perv Mo abolished the concept of 'orphan' so that he could rape his 6-year-old niece and marry his daughter-in-law. Oh, that's right, he just abolished adoption so that those orphans could never receive inheritances or have real parents. Yet another way in which Muslims have made it impossible for me to sympathize with them. That and the whole killing Israelis thing.
Finally, let's not forget that the UN is every bit as evil as the HLF. They've been funding these monsters for decades, more than anyone else, particularly those who would have built amazing, sustainable societies with a tiny fraction of the aid bestowed upon the 'Palestinians' and been eternally grateful for it, like the Guatemalans or the Nepalese.
"Political correctness isn’t the same as civility"
No it is not the same for political correctness causes incivility.
For example American Leftist comediannes can get away with threatening 'to send her black brothers to rape a woman if she came into NYC' simply because the woman had politically-incorrect skin color and politically-incorrect religion.
Or supreme leaders of theocratic nations can amplify their belief that 'Jews and Christians are pigs and their time of elimination is coming soon' simply because the leader is of a politically-correct skin color and politically-incorrect religion.
How about the multitude of European Leftists who regularily beat up, terrorize, crush dissent of Europeans who desire their countries to remain a free, civilized and Democratic society simply because these Europeans are not the politically-correct skin color or politically-correct religion.
It is dreadfully unfortunate that Albert Lorenzo is so determined to support a violent, lawless, illiberal philosophy which only serves an uncivil society; it must be awful to be his friend and ally.
What Alberto Lorenzo fails to inderstand, the Politically-correct Left will no doubt come after him after they have eliminated all else....his death sntance... admits he is 'white' which means he is politically-incorrect and must be eliminated.
Albert Lorenzo, the Politically-correct are your ideological pals good luck surviving their tyranny.
Remember;
'first they came for the white people and nobody stood up,
then they came for the Christians and nobody stood up,
then they came for the Jews and nobody stood up,
after which they came for you because everyone else was eliminated.'
From post above: Evidently bigots, racist, xenophobes and nationalist are only available in white.
LOL...Yep you can have any color bigot you want as long as he is white.
Back in the days of Roberts 'Maxwell', you could have any color car you wanted as long as it was black.
'The more things change the more they stay the same'...

These baseless accusations against Robert are merely dubious attempts to silence free and rational speech by rendering it hate speech by associating racism with it.
It doesn't work with Islam since it is not a race, as Islamic apologists have found out, so their denizens are trying a new angle.
It is utter hogwash and we here are not fooled.
Since when did Islam become a race?
Albert Lorenzo,
I am not talking about Blankley or Bostom.
Andrew Bostom not a white nationalist? What planet are you living on?
As Charles Johnson recently pointed out:
Andrew Bostom, who believes we should all be joining forces with European white nationalists, calling me all kinds of names and insults. It’s an eye-opener about Bostom.
I think that the way that Albert whitewashes Bostom's white nationalism, suggests to us that Albert agrees with this brand of white nationalism. We all know that racism is manifested in the deeper cultural structures, so it might be the case that Albert's affection for, and overlooking of, Bostom's white nationalism, is not a fully conscious process. But nevertheless it is manifestly there, and that tells us something important. It's also noteworthy how eager Albert is to tell us that he is white.
Looking over Albert's comments again it becomes even more interesting:
Apart from his eagerness to point out how he is white himself (Pure white, not Latino white, mind you. It's was such a misconception that triggered his comment in the first place!)
So apart from pointing out his pure whiteness, he is at the same time suggesting that among people that are as white as himself, that Mr. Spencer would not be seen as sufficiently white.
Where in the world did he get such ideas? Albert truly believed that at that party that the other people looked down at Robert for not being sufficiently white (or white at all). Apart from how rude and offensive such a comment is, wherever did Albert get the idea that Robert is not really "white", if not from inside his own mind?
Considering the ease with which Albert entered an 'ö' when he wanted to denigrate Fjordman and defame his name, it suggests to me that he's from the northern part of Europe. So in his eyes Mr. Spencer might look very alien. Many northerners can hardly make the distinction between the French and Iranians, when it comes to looks.
Robert is ethnically Greek. "White" is shorthand for European. Anyone who does not consider the Greeks "sufficiently European" (or not really European at all) is seriously lost; is actually not a true European (in any substantial sense), but a very confused one.
Since the topic of 'race' has come up (I would say, ethno-linguistic identity/ ancestry).
First: I have never sensed even the slightest whiff of anything that could be called racism from any jihadwatch board member whose writings I have read. Nor have I smelt it in the writings of Bat Yeor or Andrew Bostom.
Second: as the jihad is and has always been global in intent, the resistance to it must become global as well.
Already, that part of the resistance of which I am best aware, comprises a fascinatingly diverse group of people.
I understand that among Mr Spencer's grandparents are Armenians who fled the Muslim jihad genocide that took place during the First World War.
Bat Yeor and Andrew Bostom are Jewish: Bat Yeor's ancestors were dhimmi Jews in Egypt; I think Bostom is Ashkenazi. Arieh Eldad (Jewish) is summoning an assortment of worried Gentile European lawmakers - including blond Dutchman Geert Wilders - to a 'Facing Jihad' conference in Jerusalem.
Many prominent counter-jihad writers are non-white apostates from Islam: Ayaan Hirsi Ali, who is ethnically African; Ibn Warraq, whose ancestors are ethnically Indian; Nonie Darwish and Wafa Sultan, of Arabised Egyptian and Syrian descent; Magdi Cristiano Allam is Arabised Egyptian. Patrick Sookhdeo and Michael Nazir-Ali are of Indo-Pakistani ancestry, the former having apostasised from Islam to Christianity, the latter being the child of apostates.
V S Naipaul, a child of the Hindu Indian diaspora, has written Among the Believers and Beyond Belief - wonderfully readable books, readily available in bookstore or local library, by which the novice counter-jihadist can begin to grasp the appalling damage that Islam and sharia inflict on human societies.
As regards the Third Jihad, this third attempt by Islam to gobble up the known world, it should be noted that so far it is non-white non-Europeans - the Jews [ancestrally and linguistically a middle-eastern not an Indo-European people-group] and the Indians and the black Africans (the Biafrans; the Sudanese Christians and animists - death toll over a million) and the indigenous Christians and Buddhist/ Confucian/ secular Chinese in Indonesia (a death toll in the hundreds of thousands; some 200 000 Melanesian Catholic Timorese were butchered just during the Muslim Indonesian invasion and cruel occupation of East Timor) who have borne the brunt of it, so far. Malayo-Polynesian Catholic Filipinos and East Asian Buddhists in Thailand have also had many people killed by jihadi terrorists.
Coptic Christians, who are non-Indo-European, are suffering dreadfully under the Muslim boot, as are the Assyrian indigenous Christians of Mesopotamia, a middle-eastern not a 'european' people. Ethiopia is under threat; all its boundaries except the one with majority-Christian Kenya abut onto increasingly-jihad-minded Muslim-majority states.
Historically, in the 1300 years of jihad, the largest butchers' bill so far was racked up by the Muslims in India and in black Africa, where they also raped, pillaged and enslaved enormous numbers of people.
So it is the 'non-whites' of planet earth who have the single biggest stake in the defeat of the Third Jihad. A truly shattering defeat for Islam, a decisive rollback of the Islamosphere, might give Indians and Africans some sense of cosmic justice being done; it would bring them nearer to 'closure', to healing of the centuries-long trauma that Muslim slavetakers inflicted upon them.
Incidentally, Islam's Arab supremacism, which is - as Andrew Bostom has shown - viciously Judeophobic, and includes disdain for all non-Arab Muslims and a particular nastiness toward blacks, even black Muslims (see Darfur, see Biafra, see the appalling treatment of Sudanese refugees in Egypt), is itself intensely racist and xenophobic.
'White' people, Europeans of various descriptions, mostly those to the south and south-east, suffered Muslim invasion, colonisation, mass rape, mass enslavement [the hideous devshirme, among other things], and mass murder also, though not on the mind-boggling scale endured by Africans and Indians.
However, since we of European background invented what Naipaul calls 'the universal civilisation' and still have a pretty good technological and organisational edge, it seems to fall to those of us who are Islamosavvy to try to help the other kafir recover and focus their historic memory of the Jihad, even as we struggle to recover our own, and then to physically assist as we can.
To repeat: the jihad is global,
The resistance to it must also be global.
