Iran-funded Muslim religious academy in Iraq training in use of combat weapons

Imagine if a Christian religious academy were spending any time at all training its students "in the use of combat weapons, physical resistance and street fighting." But no one will take any note of this school, despite the active support it is receiving from two governments.

Note also the close collaboration between the Iraqi and Iranian governments on this. That is the fruit of our ill-thought out Iraq adventure. "Iran terror camp shock," from the Gulf Daily News, July 28:

NAJAF, Iraq: A religious academy in Iraq has started training more than 1,500 recruits from Bahrain and other Arab countries in the use of combat weapons, physical resistance and street fighting, it emerged last night.

The training, which began yesterday at a camp about 5km away from a main road between Najaf and Karbala, is funded by Iran, our sister paper Akhbar Al Khaleej reports.

Apart from members of Hawza Ilmiyya Najab, the religious academy, those being trained include citizens from Bahrain, Saudi Arabia, Syria and other Arab countries, the report adds.

Their countries' national flags were flown over the main gate of the camp during the opening ceremony of the camp, it says.

Mohmmed Redha Ali Al Sistani, son of Iranian religious scholar Ali Al Sistani; Iraqi Transport Minister Hadi Al Amiri; Higher Education and Scientific Research Minister and a senior member of Iraq Islamic Dawa Party Ali Al Adeeb; Iranian General Qasim Sulaimani and other members of the State of Law Coalition attended the ceremony.

Iran has allocated $1 million (BD37,800) for the camp, and the amount was handed over to Mohammed Al Sistani by General Sulaimani, the report says.

I personally think that Westerners should be prepared for military resistance against jihad; We must start training ourselves in the use of combat weapons, physical resistance and particularly street fighting;I'm not advocating violence but Westerners living in any future Muslim-Majority city should consider training themselves military if they want to preserve their city against rape/street jihad or simply, if they don't want to be the victims of Muslims gangs (Ex; Malmo citizens); The sad part of the article is that it is our enemy who seems to be pretty serious in pursuing its goal.

A few years ago I drove by the ADAMS mosque here in Sterling, VA, and there was a group of members out front, near the road, practicing martial arts. They all had on black uniforms and looked like they were rehearsing take-downs.....nothing to see here...keep moving. Be aware...very aware...

Of course, it's even better to have the kuffar pay for your training.
Daily Mail July 21st 2012

Just a stone's throw from the Olympic stadium, where the eyes of the world will soon descend, an inspiring project to re-integrate terrorists into society is taking place.

With dozens of convicted terrorists released into the area, and even, in some cases, the same street after serving prison sentences, the east London neighbourhoods just beyond the Olympic village are a potential tinderbox of extremism.
But thanks to the work of one of the UK's top cage fighting trainers, hate is being turned into hope. 34-year-old Usman Raja, the son of a Pakistani immigrant, says he is proud to be both British and Muslim and is using his talents in the sport as well as his spiritual beliefs to win over the hearts and minds of the former radicals. And the former cagefighter, who has worked with 10 convicted terrorists, has been lauded by the Home Office for his success.

Lauded by the Home Office? Why am I so cynical?

Jihadists are taught martial arts. All non-Muslims would do well to learn self-defense techniques and know it is not a sin to defend oneself or others from abuse and evil.

There is no islam without jihad.

Right, holy martyrs, stand at ease! After lunch, there will be weapons training followed by your daily anal-expanding exercises -- wipe that smile off your face Skouti! -- to make sure you can pack in an extra ounce or two of explosives for jihad missions against Dar al-Harb.

Clowns!

''Just a stone's throw from the Olympic stadium, where the eyes of the world will soon descend, an inspiring project to re-integrate terrorists into society is taking place''

Dear God. The utter, *criminal* stupidity of our 'rulers' beggars belief. It's not enough the treasonous scum let them in in the first place, now they're *giving them the training to fight us hand to hand.*

''34-year-old Usman Raja, the son of a Pakistani immigrant, says he is proud to be both British and Muslim and is using his talents in the sport as well as his spiritual beliefs to win over the hearts and minds of the former radicals.''

Oh yes, that 'winning over hearts and minds' has worked *really* well in Afghanistan and Pakiland.

Well, we're going to have to make sure *our* boys (and girls) get *better* training. Sometimes I think they really *want* a civil war. Damn them to hell for the treacherous, treasonous, evil bastards that they are.

Bat Ye’or
