Saudi Grand Mufti Fears TV Series Will Expose Islam to Criticism

The Grand Mufti of Saudi Arabia—the authority who called for the destruction of all churches in the region—recently condemned a new Saudi Arabian satellite TV series, which was scheduled to air during Ramadan, on the life of Islamic prophet Muhammad’s companion and second caliph, Omar ibn al-Khattab. The series is supposed to tell the story of the early days of the Muslim caliphate, including, most likely, the Islamic conquests, since many non-Muslim nations, such as Egypt, were conquered during Omar’s reign.

What is interesting is why the Grand Mufti is condemning this series, calling it a “crime deserving of punishment": It “depicts the lives of the caliphs and companions [of Muhammad] in a movie, exposing them to discussion by every depraved person, making them vulnerable to slander and criticism.”

In short, it seems he wants the obscurities of early Islam to remain obscure—perhaps like how Omar allegedly used to strip female sex-slaves in public whenever they were overly-dressed—lest their exposure lead to renewed criticism of Islam and its early followers, otherwise known as the salaf al-salah, the “righteous forefathers” whom Wahabbis and Salafis, like the Grand Mufti, pattern their lives after—and, hence, come into constant conflict with the modern world.

That's the problem with Islam, if you criticize it by telling lies about it, you're a dead man walking and if you tell the truth about it, you're a dead man walking. In other words, it's a conundrum and ultimately an embarrassment to its leaders and followers. It is the only religion that is built on a complete pack of lies and Imams, Sheiks and Muslim leaders end up running scared when anyone starts doing the detective work on it.

The “righteous forefathers” ......!

The 'righteous foreskins' more like it! :)

Clowns!

As usual, Muslims like to hide the truth about Islam, Mo/allah and the so called "righteous caliphs". A criminal gang worshiping a criminal demon - it doesn't fit the narrative of lies told by them and our eminent Muslim apologists and press. alas the the truth is trickling down and it will be a force of mega flood that these guys won't be able to control!!

Oh I'm sure that Access Hollywood, The Insider, Extra, Entertainment Tonight are just DYING for this new Islamic grist for the gossip mills.

Give me a break.

These shows and most notably, and depressingly, the MSM go so out of their way to "protect" Islam and Muslims from any criticism.

What is it about Islam and Big Mo that needs so much "protection."

GAG !!!

Muslims' sex-slavery of the past, present, and their futire dreams of such a disgusting practice on a wider scale, God-sanctioned no less, always remind me of the old paintings showing this Islamic practice.

Most non-Muslims view these paintings with disgust and compassion for the sex-slave. Many Muslims view them with dreams of the 'good old days', salivation, and/or no compassion whatsoever for the sex-slave. Truly sick ideology Islam is. There is really no way around it. They would give you some deceptive talk about how it was an honor, and it was really better for the women. That really burns me up when they say such BS. Yeah, just like it was an honor for little Aisha to be molested by a 50 year-old man when she was six and to be raped by him at 9. NEVER will I accept these deceptions and neither should you!

Oh the dreams of the Caliphate, to be sure, are also fueled by Islamists desire to bring back these good-old days. How they must drool at the thought of getting them a Jewess sex-slave or an American one.

How anyone can think Islam is to be respected sure beats me!

You know what, I've had just about enough of You SPENCER. I tried to remain calm, ignore YOUR BS etc but that does it. I'm going to tell my uncle (who holds a PHD in software engineering) to shut this site down permenantly. I don't mind constrctive criticism but this is pure fucking bullshit.

As for female slaves this practice pre-dates Islam’s advent in the region but the religion later laid out rules on this issue in an attempt to abolish slavery. It allowed Muslims to have sexual relations with slave women who had been held captives in just and legitimate wars. A woman was freed if she became pregnant and her child would be born free.

Dr Abdullah al-Naggar, an al-Azhar scholar and professor in Islamic fiqh says:

“There is no more melk al-yameen (right hand
possessions)nowadays. It is over. This woman who enslaved herself to that man should repent to God as should the man. A free person cannot enslave himself, according to Shariah (Islamic law).”

The hadeeth concerning Umar came after the revelation of the hijaab and after it was made obligatory for the believing women. But the full hijaab is only for free women; slaves and concubines should not resemble free women by wearing the full hijaab. A slave woman does not have to cover her face, and ‘Umar (may Allaah be pleased with him) used to forbid them to do so. This is the case if there is no fear of fitnah from them; but if there is fitnah, then they have to do whatever will prevent that fitnah.

REMEMBER AT THE TIME OF THE RASHIDEEN CALIPHATE ALL WOMEN WORE THE NIQAB (face veil)

SUCK IT SPENCER!

Oooooooooooo. Take that you big bully Robert Spencer and all your truth.

I'm gonna tell on you. My uncle has a big beard and a big belly and he knows a whole lotta Islam stuff and he's really gonna get you.

LOL !!!

@Lorenzo Pilaf

"Take that you big bully Robert Spencer and all your BULLSHIT."

Done :)

Wow, in your reply to RS via LPilaf, you really showed who's who. I mean, you really nailed it.

Realizing that it’s probably tough for you to break out of your Islamic, thuggish, violence-is-always-the-answer mindset, but here in America you’re gonna have to give it a try. That is, if you expect to get any where.

When we have disagreements with someone, our recourse is NOT to call in big men with big beards and big bellies to apply the violence. Violence doesn’t erase the truth. Think of truth as living in the cyberspace, in the cloud so to speak. You might try to swat it away, but it’s always there. Truth cannot be destroyed except through proof.

If what you read from Spencer is inaccurate or untrue, then your recourse is to counter his arguments with those of your own, using the strength of your arguments, which you believe to be better, to persuade others. That’s the beauty of the give-and-take.

So rather than bringing in the big men with big beards and big bellies spewing Islamic mumbo-jumbo, try assembling a persuasive argument.

Thomas Jefferson owned a Quran. Not to learn from it, but to understand how the mind of Muslims became so warped. Louis Brandeis drew from Jefferson’s writings and example when he wrote the American approach to alleged falsehoods. “If there be time to expose through discussion the falsehood and fallacies [of Robert Spencer], to avert the evil by the processes of education, the remedy to be applied is more speech, not enforced silence [by big men with big beards and big bellies].” Whitney v. California (1927).

D! my brother! what is bothering you? today is the third day of Ramadan. are you fasting? fasting on hot days like this can make one delussional you know! which uinversity does your uncle hold a PHD from? you know D the best way to break your fast today, is a stiff shot of scotch!!! dewars! that would be prefered!!! after a day of hunger a shot of scocth! woo hoo!!!!
D: I just got back from your favorite country. Iran that is. have you ever been there? I would say you should move there and live happily ever after with the ayatollahs. they too have a habit of shutting down freedom fighting web site. you and your uncle would get along with them real well.

@ D for Deranged! :)

You wrote, while frothing at the mouth: "Dr Abdullah al-Naggar, an al-Azhar scholar and professor in Islamic fiqh says: “There is no more melk al-yameen (right hand possessions)nowadays. It is over."

So, I've got to choose between Dr. Abdullah al-Naggar's man-made opinion and Allah's Al Qur'an. Mmmm ... now let's see. Al Qur'an is the literal uncreated word of Allah that bounds all time and space, making His word Universal.
Whereas the good Doc is merely a human being whose presence in Time and Space is like a spark, then oblivion.
Mmmm ... tricky! Tell you what, D***head, which one should I choose; Al Qur'an's timeless, Allah-approved statement, or Doc Abdullah's temporal whim of thought?

By the way, while you're burning out a brain cell or two working that one out, Surat al-Nisa says that its OK to practice melk al-yameen '...for those among you who fear sin ...'

Maybe you'll have to rethink your plan to contact your Uncle with a PHD in whatcha-ma-callit. Or maybe he's too busy fearing sin .. y'know what I mean, wink wink!

You're a clown!

We're all shakin' in our boots here!

Go fiqh yourself...

D***head: After 14 centuries of proclaiming the s**t of sick islam, verbally and copiously and globally, an uneducated stupid brainwashed ph.d., or stupid mufti, can never put their secrets back in pandora's box of secrets. Your fundamental evil and its barbaric continuous history, is all out, and exposed globally, for all to see, and eventually, will become the globally recognized and discredited subject of the brainwashing sickness of your discredited gang. In your vernacular, go stick it up yours...Your fatwas say that is an acceptable thing to do these days, ha....Practice your being a pr**khead on your sadly confused uneducated starving bros...not on informed intelligents.

Goerge: Please say go f... yourself!!!

ummm... you will not read this because your IslamoRage(tm) will not allow you to return, but ... the post that enraged you was not from Spencer, but rather the guy who wrote this piece (which mentions al-Naggar):

http://www.gatestoneinstitute.org/3149/egypt-sex-slave-marriage

Islam has been vulnerable to criticism ever since Mohammed first flashed his trouser-minaret at Ayesha.

The saudi's have their Pedophilia to worry about and not some TV show because they want a Global caliphate where child-rapes are legal and they can murder every homosexual( other than themselves with the power).


islam is showing the World exactly how little it has contributed to Societies other than a low crime rate by killing someone for the first crime or public floggings to women and infidels for offending their peacefu loving fake god and false prophet.

D sez: "As for female slaves this practice pre-dates Islam’s advent in the region but the religion later laid out rules on this issue in an attempt to abolish slavery."


Islam has never abolished slavery....

http://www.answering-islam.org/BehindVeil/btv5.html

http://www.thereligionofpeace.com/Pages/Myths-of-Islam.htm#slavery

Islam attempted to abolish slavery, D? Tell that to the South Sudanese!!!

"As for female slaves this practice pre-dates Islam’s advent in the region but the religion later laid out rules on this issue in an attempt to abolish slavery. "

What an idiot you are. Mohammad took new slaves (that is making free people his slaves). He waged wars and captured slaves. That is not abolishing slavery, that is legitimizing slavery. Your prophet was a war mongering slave trader. Shame on him and shame on you for defending him

Awww, poor D is upset. Perhaps D desires to be one of the slave girls, so he can be taken by the Righteous Companions in Paradise.

Further I'm betting Ds uncle is too busy setting up pedophile and bestiality porno sites to bother with 'shutting down' Jihad Watch. These sites make tons of $$$ among the pious Muslims.

Islam is fair game for criticism for thousands of reasons, least of all a television series celebrating the depravity of islam's early perverts created especially for the islamic holiday season, a pagan celebration of pure evil. Filth and malevolence abound in islam; the savages will love every moment of violence, degradation, cruelty, and corruption depicted in the program and Western apologists would declare that it's not real islam, so why worry?

A few naked sex slaves brutalized by the prophet's companions won't harm islam's stellar reputation, certainly not in SA, and I doubt if the program will be broadcast outside of the islamic netherworld.

To be fair to the old Saudi Coot, he does carry on the tradition of defending Islam no matter what ugly warts it has. To his minds eye, the anti-humanitarian injunctions within Islam are virtues. What can you expect from a codger who believes the Earth is filled with spirits made from smokeless fire, thinks women who drive will become sex maniacs, and sees Jewish plots behind every corner. This is a man whose entire career was made by elevating a barbaric religion as the best source of ethics and morals for all time. That and a whole host of inane fatwas pertaining to how the faithful should eat, sleep, defecate, and copulate. What a wonderful legacy this waste of humanity will leave!

I don't quite understand how exposing these people means they will be discussed by every depraved person. And just who is depraved? Is it those who would slander these people? Is it those who would criticize them? Is slander the same as criticism? Is asking legitimate questions about historicity, society, religion criticism or slander?
This is why I have come not to believe what moslems say. There is just too large a gap between their words and actions. It does not mean, however, that I do not read what they print or take it seriously.
