Well, I've been saying this for years, and CAIR and others have claimed that I don't know what I'm talking about. I expect Ibrahim Hooper will be firing off a stern letter to Osman Karahan about how he is misunderstanding Islam. From The Scotsman, with thanks to all who sent this in:
A lawyer defending al Qaida-linked suspects standing trial for the 2003 suicide bombings in Istanbul told a court that jihad, or holy war, was an obligation for Muslims and his clients should not be prosecuted."If you punish them for this, tomorrow, will you punish them for fasting or for praying?" Osman Karahan -- a lawyer representing 14 of the 72 suspects -- asked during a nearly four-hour speech in which he read religious texts from an encyclopedia of Islam.
The November 2003 blasts targeted two synagogues, the British Consulate and the local headquarters of the London-based HSBC bank, killing 58 people.
The Arabic word jihad can mean holy war among extremists in addition to its definition as the Islamic concept of the struggle to do good.
Karahan spoke for three hours at the court in Istanbul.
"If non-Muslims go into Muslim lands, it is every Muslim's obligation to fight them," Karahan said.

Always helpful to have the statements made by Muslim defendants, and their lawyers, in Muslim lands. In Turkey, in Indonesia, and elsewhere, the lawyers and defendants feel no need to obscure or hide the teachings of Islam. They are forthright. In the United Kingdom, in France, in Spain, in all of Europe and North America, they will, not wishing to harm the "cause of Islam" and its steady uninterrupted march within the Lands of the Infidels, in places where Islam has not yet been permanently established, and the time not yet ripe for revealing too openly the truth (and counting on lazy Infidels not to find out too much -- and so far, those lazy Infidels have been happy to oblige) about Islam.
An interesting comparison can be made (how about a fat Pentagon grant to make it) between the words of the lawyers and defendants in terrorism trials in Muslim countries, and in non-Muslim ones.
Send checks to Robert, Pentagon, and I'll hop right to it. Or, if you wish, simply start a dman bidding process, and have one of those parasite organizations so good at getting millions of dollars for its "studies" of this and that to apply, and win the grant, and then with due portentousness, in the time-honored think-tank or Center for Thisandthat manner, to present what could be dashed off by any sensible person in a day or two, but will take months, and a team, and fancy bound folders, and a press announcement, and distribution "on Capitol Hill," and all the rest, in keeping with the lumbering elephantiasis of official and quasi-official Washington, when quicksilver methods and minds are called for.

Certainly true Lulu...
And if a human non-Muslim enters the sacred lands of Islam, lands untrodden my impure infidels, it is also that Muslim's duty to behead them (that favorite pastime in those regions)
What low-life cowards these bombers are. How I would love to bare-knuckle brawl with these mofos.

"If non-Muslims go into Muslim lands, it is every Muslim's obligation to fight them," Karahan said.
Non Muslims have been saying this for years and get called a "Racist". Why is it that when the Non Muslims repeat what the Muslims say, we get branded the "Hater, bigot, or racist."

Question is whose lands were they before the screeching hordes of Head Choppers swept across the Middle East,Asia and parts of Europe? These lands belonged to Christians and Jews, Buddhists
& Hindus. I SAY WE SHOULD RECLAIM EVERY INCH OF OUR LAND STOLEN BY THE DEATH CULT OF ISLAM.

If non-Muslims go into Muslim lands and it is considered every Muslim's obligation to fight them, why not reciprocate the sentiment?.......oh I almost forgot - isn't this what we did in Afghanistan and Iraq?
I'm so glad I'm not French. Anyway -
If Muslims go into non-Muslim lands and attack, then non-Muslims have the right to defile Arabic codes of honor, humiliate and invade Muslim lands in retaliation. Infidel reciprocity on every level from hot warfare to chilling social discourse. After all, an eye for an eye seems to be quite within the bounds of Sharia law. How many unarmed, non-military personnel were murdered in Madrid, London, New York, DC, Bali? Anyone know how many militant and armed infidels were slaughtered? Anyone? Not many or any I imagine so to this end there is nothing wrong in getting into a winning fist fight. I saw nothing wrong in literally yanking the mind trust of each nation right out and throwing it in the trash as consequence of attacking the modern world. Let this be testament to what happens when sympathetic Muslims breed hatred for non-Muslims.
What we cannot forget is that this is asymmetrical warfare - One or more nation states engaging an enemy without border or origin. We are vulnerable in that anywhere and anytime, we are at the mercy of a Jihadists choice of "soft" targets. Therefore in order to insure long term survival against militant Islam, "Muslim obligations" and other assorted Islamic gibberish - we too should attack Islams most "soft" and indefensible target. Allah.
Allah, for one, cannot defend "himself" so why not take a shot right at the heart of Islam and disprove Allah? Muslims need only blame their fellow Islamikazes for the threat their powerless god faces. Disprove Islam to the rest of the world and the spread of Islam ends forever.
Defeat the concept of Allah or threaten to inoculate the rest of the world from Islam and within a half century, Islam will be an extinct mythology.
Disproving Mohamed and his silly little friend "Allah" is bloodless. It will take the fight right out militants (since they will find no sympathy) and shove Islams violent and subversive nature into a dark and obscure little hole.
P.I.G. and other such texts are already doing this very thing - weakening and softening up the foundations of Islam with the truth.
If Muslims object to this line of thinking, maybe they should start to reject the militant underpinnings of Islam and re-join the human race in peace.

Militias riding on camels and horses attacked Abu Sarouj village in the West Darfur state of Sudan on Monday, killing 20 people and wounding 16 others, according to a United Nations official in the area.
"The attackers also burnt 50 shelters,
temporarily displacing several thousand people,"
Andy Pendleton, the West Darfur coordinator for the UN Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA) told IRIN on Wednesday.
Fifteen men, three women and
two children were killed.
Two of the victims were burnt alive when their homes were torched.
This is Islam
This is the Jihad they are talking about
Jihad means exactly what it means
DEATH TO ALL NON MUSLIMS... Period
Islam is from SATAN
So was Mohammed....

If you dont believe that click the link above then read the story..
Tell me if this has anything to do with American imperialism or a zionist plot..

Jihad a Muslim obligation, here is more proof
BALI bombings commander Mukhlas has written a fanatical call-to-arms from his death-row prison cell, exhorting Muslims to kill Westerners.
Published on a website on the orders of notorious terror chief Noordin Mohammed Top, the polemic demonstrates the undiminished fervour of Mukhlas, who has been sentenced to death for commanding the Bali bomb blasts in 2002 that killed 202 people, including 88 Australians.
"You who still have a shred of faith in your hearts, have you forgotten that to kill infidels and the enemies of Islam is a deed that has a reward above no other," says the 60-page polemic written in Indonesian by "Sheikh Mukhlas", posted on the anshar.net website, which has since been shut down by Indonesian police.
"Aren't you aware that the model for us all, the Prophet Mohammed and the four rightful caliphs, undertook to murder infidels as one of their primary activities, and that the Prophet waged jihad operations 77 times in the first 10 years as head of the Muslim community in Medina?"

Everyday there are muslims killing and bombing in countries where they have recently arrived, they seem to be the only ones who cannot accept the simple existance of people of a different religion.
They are ther ones who wish to change the customs of their host country. I cannot understand how polititians are so blind and are ready to give away the liberties of the locals and their rights to profess the religion of their choice.
When I became a US Citizen I had to swear to uphold the US Constitution. How can any one become a US Citizen if they at the same time have to jihad, and how on earth name can this lawyer say that jihad is the equivalent to pray??? Killing, bombing, killing infidels...what is this ? is this a religion of peace?. I believe that our polititians have a duty
to think of the good of the country and demand that the Constitution is No.1., not the rellgions believes of some people.
They can believe, pray the way they want but firstly they have like you and me, respect the Constitution. Where are those concerned that children sing a Christmas Carrol because the separation of State and Religion is not respected according to them? Where are they when this lawyer goes saying that these people they have the right to jihad?
Their rights ends where the rights of others begin.
I am wrong?
Are we so used to find out each day of bombings, killing, decapitating that we are not even shocked anymore...

It is no surprise that CAIR sides with the Jihad ‘heroes’
over the interests of the rest of America’s citizens. If we all turn into crispy fritters one night, after a mini nuke goes off in one, or many, of our Western cities, CAIR will find that many Muslims will perish
(Muslims also died at their workplace on Sep 11, 2001),
but CAIR does not mind, it is all about being a good loyal Muslim,
engaging a kind of self sacrifice, for the greater good of Islam,
for the establishment of Sharia Law,
and the best is, Muslims believe they will get a special reward, Quran Chapter 9 Verse 111.
Use your common sense, be very suspicious when you here all the nonsense about protecting ones ‘rights’ and ‘respect’ in a time when our Western intelligence services are attempting to stop the next colossal Jihad attack in America or Europe, or any place in the world.
We are not Muslim, we don’t get any ‘special gift’ from Allah, for sacrificing ourselves for the greater good the of global Islamic community.
We also declare, we are not in a perpetual state of delusion,
under the ‘constant’ threat of an ancient external god, seeking revenge,
if we do not ‘obey’ written rules, found in religious abstracts from thousands of years ago,
this god does not exist, even if the ‘ religious books’ are sold at your local bookshop,
it is time we all begin to realize this ‘fact’
all the supernatural and racial supremacist ‘claims’ and ‘rights’ found in the worlds’ religions
are human constructs or ‘fiction’
intended to gain a tribe some special
‘rights’ and ‘means’
Maybe the world will be a better place if we spend more time, striving toward principals of common sense ethics, morals, and democracy, for everyone.
Declaration of the Rights of Man and Citizen,
Universal Declaration of Human Rights (of course the non-Muslim version),
and the ideals embraced by the founding fathers of America.
