A few days ago, Jihad Watch went down for a few hours, and in between emails to the tech people I worked on the Blogging the Qur'an segment posted this morning. In this course of doing so, I made an interesting discovery, and sent this note to Pamela -- which is expanded below now.
The USC-MSA "Compendium of Muslim Texts" -- a helpful online collection that I've used for years to demonstrate that, contrary to the common charge, I do not misquote or misrepresent the Qur'an or Hadith -- has been renamed the "Center for Muslim-Jewish Engagement."
Most of the texts are still there, along with a new link to the Talmud. Conspicuously absent is Syed Abul Ala Maududi's introductions to every Qur'an chapter, which had been a feature of the old site. Maududi, of course, was a Pakistani jihad theorist whose writings remain enormously influential among Muslims today.
Why might Maududi have been deep-sixed by the suddenly ecumenical-minded Muslims of the USC Muslim Students Association? Perhaps it is because of small matters such as his commentary on Qur'an 9:29, in which he states that unbelievers have "absolutely no right to seize the reins of power in any part of God’s earth nor to direct the collective affairs of human beings according to their own misconceived doctrines. For if they are given such an opportunity, corruption and mischief will ensue. In such a situation the believers would be under an obligation to do their utmost to dislodge them from political power and to make them live in subservience to the Islamic way of life” (Towards Understanding the Qur’an, vol. III, p. 202).
Maududi's introductions to each sura of the Qur'an, although they themselves contain nothing as incendiary as the quote above, have been replaced by a link to the Qur'an commentary by Muhammad Asad (Leopold Weiss), a 20th-century convert to Islam from Judaism whose commentary on the Qur'an is severely whitewashed for Western consumption. Hugh writes about him here.
The MSA has also made the collection harder to use, and less helpful. In the old system, which is still accessible from my bookmark to it, although I doubt that will last long, turns up these matches in the hadith for the search "Jew and come and kill":
The query [Jew and come and kill] generated the following matches:Complete Sahih Bukhari
Complete Sahih Muslim
Partial Sunan Abu Dawud
None.
Complete Malik's Muwatta
None.
Here, just for the record, is a screenshot I just took:

But if you go into the new system and make exactly the same search, this is what you get:

Note that all of the references are from Malik's Muwatta. None of them take you to the references above to the genocidal hadith in Bukhari and Muslim, in which Muhammad says that the end of days will come when Muslims kill Jews, and Jews hide behind stones and trees, which then cry out, "O Muslim! There is a Jew hiding behind me, come and kill him!"
But those ahadith won't show up in searches because they have been removed, haven't they, after the David Horowitz Freedom Center called attention to them -- right? Wrong. In the first place, the MSA only removed the ones from Muslim, not the ones from Bukhari, but anyway the ones they removed are now back. You can apparently no longer link to them directly -- another interesting change -- but you can see them by going here and scrolling down to numbers 6981 through 6985:
Book 041, Number 6981:Ibn 'Umar reported Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) as saying: You will fight against the Jews and you will kill them until even a stone would say: Come here, Muslim, there is a Jew (hiding himself behind me) ; kill him.
Book 041, Number 6982:
Ubaidullah has reported this hadith with this chain of transmitters (and the Words are):" There is a Jew behind me."
Book 041, Number 6983:
Abdullah b. 'Umar reported Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) as saying: You and the Jews would fight against one another until a stone would say: Muslim, here is a Jew behind me; come and kill him.
Book 041, Number 6984:
Abdullah b. 'Umar reported that Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) said: The Jews will fight against you and you will gain victory over them until the stone would say: Muslim, here is a Jew behind me; kill him.
Book 041, Number 6985:
Abu Huraira reported Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) as saying: The last hour would not come unless the Muslims will fight against the Jews and the Muslims would kill them until the Jews would hide themselves behind a stone or a tree and a stone or a tree would say: Muslim, or the servant of Allah, there is a Jew behind me; come and kill him; but the tree Gharqad would not say, for it is the tree of the Jews.
Why all the changes, making this resource so much harder to use, and obviously covering up uncomfortable material so that the unwitting will not discover its existence? The Jews who are participating in this "Center for Muslim-Jewish Engagement" project should be forewarned: reform is not deception, and deception is not reform. The USC MSA has not repudiated the genocidal ahadith. It has just hidden them -- and it has done so after removing some of them for a time, under pressure from university authorities. The implications should be obvious.
Wow. I noticed recently that it was harder to use (I can't remember what I was looking for) but didn't know why.
So now you have to know what you're looking for, and exactly where to find it, before you can find it. That doesn't exactly facilitate honest inquiry and self-directed learning.
That's deceptive.
Deliberate obfuscation.
I know for a fact that some newspapers, including the WaPo, verify Islamic quotations via that particular site before publishing letters to the editor.
Islamo-Fascism Awareness Week is working. People are becoming more aware of what's in those texts. I think it's great, not because I'm big on censorship, but because it puts us one step closer to defunding the Hamas-front MSAs and MSUs. The IUB MSU pulled the link to those texts and to ISNA after I wrote the President and Bloomington Provost about them. I linked to and copied many of the genocide passages, and I told them about many of the other values which those texts promote, such as the mutilation of corpses, polygamy, slavery, pedophilia, female genital mutilation, incest, wife-beating, plunder, extortion, and the obligation to keep all women and little girls in a permanent state of sex slavery. I would hope that they are monitoring the MSU, who, btw is going to be at a human rights march for the victims of the Mumbai massacres, if you can believe it. I'm debating whether or not to go and hold a sign saying "Islam promotes genocide."
I prefer to reference the Hadith through Abul Kasem's exegeses. He's great at picking out the juicy parts. Sina's Challenge also picks out the most damning passages.
Typepad is being pretty good today, huh?
"Center For Muslim-Jewish Engagement"
Sort of like calling Islamofascists bombing a church an "ecumenical outreach project..."
Or like Iran's "peaceful" nuclear program, since they define "peace" as "no more Israel."
You gotta love how our intellectual betters, the enlightened ivory-tower liberals, are doing their damnedest to lead the sheep to the slaughter.
Thanks fer nuthin, guys!
"Center For Muslim-Jewish Engagement" there is something wrong about that sentence above, it would only take a normal person to understand that the only engagement muslims want of non muslim is 2nd class citizens or death.
"Center For Muslim-Jewish Engagement"
Notice which name came first, the top banana...
Knowledge runs down hill, from the top banana to the lower bananas.
The only 'engagement' that will go on there is that the Jews will get shafted...
Let the 'Jewish' part be on their guard...
It is almost necessary to cache every single page of the site, download them to a disk, or else rename the links.
reading such sites as Jihadwatch and Dhimmi Watch should be mandatory for all Non Muslims...every day....every day...for every Non Muslim who can read...
to be read, studied, and committed to your memory bank...
Muslims hate the truth..especially if the Non Muslims know it...
I tend to think some of this had to be in part the USC Provost's idea.
Let's not forget how this transpired:
http://www.jihadwatch.org/archives/022567.php
http://www.jihadwatch.org/archives/022581.php
This was likely a compromise position short of "removing the texts" like they did at first (also a bad response).
Things just get curiouser and curiouser.
This site seems reliable...

Did I just read that the Moslem students control the USC Internet resource? Setting aside USC's "private" status, much of the website is funded by US taxpayer dollars.
* 33:21 ** 33:21 ** 33:21 ** 33:21 ** 33:21 ** 33:21 ** 33:21 ** 33:21 ** 33:21 ** 33:21 *
A key component of Islam's brilliance is its capacity for relentless incrementalism. This move is incremental, and very smart.
The chances of the MSM paying any attention to this latest obfuscation is zero. Even after the Moslems bust their next big, non-incremental, move.
We forgot that we were told that 9/11 was on order then, so remember what OBL has ordered next: an atomic blast to kill millions in a major Western city, preferably at least half of them children.
This last part is to atone for all the Moslem children supposedly murdered in Iraq and Afghanistan. The real number is probably closer to 3,000 or so collateral deaths of Moslem kids, but we gotta be Fictive here. What the heck, it's only a miss of three orders of magnitude. Deal the cards in threes. 3 million daid American kids it is!
The USC Moslem Students would be proud and joyous at that. Praise Allah.

http://www.investigativeproject.org/blog/#66
--- lecture was alleged to by on war on terror and on drugs
--- Maryland Towson University's Tower Light (Molly Groo) reports on Islamic supremacist Imam Abdul Alim Musa:
"Instead,
with virtually no evidence to back up his points, Imam Musa claimed
that the United States and the Israelis were responsible for the
attacks on 9/11; that President-elect Barack Obama is an "idiot"
because "no black man should believe in America"; that Martin Luther
King Jr. was a coward who should have rebelled against the system more
actively and violently; that al-Qaeda doesn't exist; and that by 2050,
the Imam aims to change the United States into an Islamic state run by
Sharia law."

Deception to the core. As more and more people are being alerted to the abject threat that Islam poses to all things non-islamic, primarily due to the internet and sites like JW, the MSA quietly attempts to undermine one of Robert's historical reference sites in order to attempt to discredit him.
I can almost smell their fear.

........................
I believe that the line, "The Hour will not come until a ..." actually is part of the Hadith, "Abu Huraira reported Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) as saying: The last hour would not come unless the Muslims will fight against the Jews and the Muslims would kill them until the Jews would hide themselves behind a stone or a tree and a stone or a tree would say: Muslim, or the servant of Allah, there is a Jew behind me; come and kill him..."
You would have to already be familiar with the exact wording of this Hadith, however, for this line in the middle of all that verbiage to do you any good.
It is the usual--if the content of the texts is recognized as embarrassingly incendiary, simply baffle them with b*llsh*t (crude, I know, but also, I think, apt).
And as for the "Center For Muslim-Jewish Engagement", I think we all know what sort of "engagement" Muslims have in mind for the Jews. "Ministry of Peace", anyone?
Again, these texts should never have been expunged from the historical document! – a stupid mistake to celebrate this. Demand should be made only to repudiate the texts, not eliminate them from the record.
USA Provost, C. L. Max Nikias, pretending to do something positive – spineless university officials are experts at this - only had the text be removed. Nikias should demand, under penalty of loss of USC affiliation, that these (and probably some other horrid texts) be repudiated by the MSA. Of course, I don’t expect him to do this and as a result of his malfeasance we have all this whitewash and subterfuge.
Nikias should be a target of criticism for his lack of real responsible action – can’t Horowitz et al figure this out?
Enormous work you have done here, Mr Spencer.
Unfortunately, we are only a 'tiny minority of extremists' who are actually aware of these things. 99.9 % of the population is ignorant and doesn't even know what 'hadith' means.
You can forget the MSM giving this any attention. The fact the provost of USC did this, or was "pressured" into deleting and changing what was in the original documents was just criminal, in my mind. Center for muslim-Jewiish engagement??
Just another slight domination of position islam HAS to have at every perverted thing they do, and try to do. This is not an isolated incident in that it reflects what is going on at colleges across the country. Was this exposed in the L.A. times?? Hmm.. I wonder?
http://www.george-orwell.org/1984/3.html
Winston examined the four slips of paper which he had unrolled. Each contained a message of only one or two lines, in the abbreviated jargon -- not actually Newspeak, but consisting largely of Newspeak words -- which was used in the Ministry for internal purposes. They ran:
times 17.3.84 bb speech malreported africa rectify
times 19.12.83 forecasts 3 yp 4th quarter 83 misprints verify current issue
times 14.2.84 miniplenty malquoted chocolate rectify
times 3.12.83 reporting bb dayorder doubleplusungood refs unpersons rewrite fullwise upsub antefiling
With a faint feeling of satisfaction Winston laid the fourth message aside. It was an intricate and responsible job and had better be dealt with last. The other three were routine matters, though the second one would probably mean some tedious wading through lists of figures.
Winston dialled 'back numbers' on the telescreen and called for the appropriate issues of The Times, which slid out of the pneumatic tube after only a few minutes' delay. The messages he had received referred to articles or news items which for one reason or another it was thought necessary to alter, or, as the official phrase had it, to rectify. For example, it appeared from The Times of the seventeenth of March that Big Brother, in his speech of the previous day, had predicted that the South Indian front would remain quiet but that a Eurasian offensive would shortly be launched in North Africa. As it happened, the Eurasian Higher Command had launched its offensive in South India and left North Africa alone. It was therefore necessary to rewrite a paragraph of Big Brother's speech, in such a way as to make him predict the thing that had actually happened. Or again, The Times of the nineteenth of December had published the official forecasts of the output of various classes of consumption goods in the fourth quarter of 1983, which was also the sixth quarter of the Ninth Three-Year Plan. Today's issue contained a statement of the actual output, from which it appeared that the forecasts were in every instance grossly wrong. Winston's job was to rectify the original figures by making them agree with the later ones. As for the third message, it referred to a very simple error which could be set right in a couple of minutes. As short a time ago as February, the Ministry of Plenty had issued a promise (a 'categorical pledge' were the official words) that there would be no reduction of the chocolate ration during 1984. Actually, as Winston was aware, the chocolate ration was to be reduced from thirty grammes to twenty at the end of the present week. All that was needed was to substitute for the original promise a warning that it would probably be necessary to reduce the ration at some time in April.
As soon as Winston had dealt with each of the messages, he clipped his speakwritten corrections to the appropriate copy of The Times and pushed them into the pneumatic tube. Then, with a movement which was as nearly as possible unconscious, he crumpled up the original message and any notes that he himself had made, and dropped them into the memory hole to be devoured by the flames.
War is deception.

Oh, yeah. I'll bet that'll be hard to find out on the new site.

No, FM. Provost Nikias should have banned the MSU for linking (a) having linked to the texts in the first place, for (b) refusing to sign David Horowitz's Declaration Against Genocide, which was the chance they were given to repudiate the ahadith and its message, and for (c) simply being the MSU, a Muslim Brotherhood front group. Every other university in the nation, especially state schools which receive funding from our tax dollars and the Dept. of Ed., should have demonstated their solidarity with the Provost and done the same.

This turn of events has finally moved me to purchase the complete set of Sahih Bukari and Sahih Muslim hadiths for my personal library. They can be had from Dar-us-Salam.com for $200 and change.
They look to be very nicely done and will look beautiful next to my Qur’ans by Muhammad Mushsin Khan and Abdullah Yusuf Ali.
