Qaradawi, Int'l Muslim Scholars' League call for Aug. 5 protest by Muslims in US, Europe

From Islamic Republic News Agency: "Muslim scholars call for support to Lebanese and Palestinian resistance"

The International Muslim Scholars' League has accused the European and US governments of a biased policy concerning Palestine and Lebanon and urged the Muslim Ummah to help the suffering people of the two Arab nations.
"The tyrannical Israeli aggression against our people and brothers in Lebanon and Palestine has reached unprecedented levels of brutality.
"It is our duty as Muslims to stand by the steadfast peoples of Lebanon and Palestine, to support their resistance and salute the solidarity between their Muslims and Christians, for the truth is that the Zionist aggression makes no distinction between Muslim or Christian, fighter or civilian," said the League in a statement received by IRNA in Brussels Wednesday.

In other words, the dhimmis are behaving -- like Lebanese President Emile Lahoud, who claimed that Hizballah freed his country.

"We must denounce the national and international forces that back this aggression financially and psychologically and provide it with cover, trampling on the principles of justice, equality and nations' legitimate rights." "It is the religious duty of every Muslim man and woman to condemn these crimes. If it were not for the European and US governments' positions biased towards the Zionist aggressor, the latter would never have been able to perpetrate its atrocities safe in the knowledge that it will neither be reprimanded nor prosecuted." The League appealed to Muslims in Europe and the United States to rally on Saturday August 5 in denunciation of Zionist aggression, and condemnation of the support it continues to receive from European and the US governments.
It called upon the Muslim communities and all those of conscience to unite in peaceful organized protest, and express their solidarity with the people of Lebanon and Palestine in their legitimate resistance to Zionist aggression and occupation.
The statement was issued among others by the famous Egyptian scholar Sheikh Yusuf al-Qaradawi, President of the League.

If the mohammedan ummah owes anyone help for their suffering, it's my fellow Infidels and myself. I'm suffering from a headache from all their childish whining.

so now these muslim losers want to drag in others to do their dirty work, they have it the other way the around, its muslims against the rest of the civilized world. one point do you see any armies coming from Egypt,Jordan,Saudi Arabia, all very silent, except for their virtual formenting immans as usual try to get brainwashed muslims to do their killing. l say let them protest, the more hate they put on the streets, the more it wakes up lazy westerners. from a wide awake Canadian.

The zombies are getting restless. Better send up some fireworks to divert their attention.

So we can expect armies of zombies walking in the streets of U.S. and Europe tomorrow. Complete with burka beauties. The dead walk.

Find out where the demos are to be held and pelt them with rotten eggs and bacon fat.

Hey, let's see if the Egyptians, Pakistanis and other recipients of American largesse return the money as an expression of their displeasure.

I wonder if the MSM will cover the event?

Posted by: freewoman [TypeKey Profile Page] at August 4, 2006 9:14 AM

Kepha, freewoman,

Better, anyone not working (or not religiously prohibited, Saturday/Sabbath) should show up with digital still and video cameras. Let no one carrying an offensive sign later try to present themselves as "moderate". Send the images to Charles Johnson at LGF, he's collecting and displaying them.

Maybe this would be a good time to have our military ready to round up and deport those that show up to protest and show solidarity with the hez. We need to let these people know, we are not going to put up with them. They cannot live in our free societies and support terrorism and criminal and antisocial behavior. If they love this deranged cult, then they need to go live in the heart of a country that condones it.

Let me get this straight.....
Hassen Nasrallah and the Hizballah organization has pledged to "wipeout Isreal and the Sunnis, the Christians, and the Druze of Lebanon;" so that when his mahdi comes - that he (Nasrallah) will become the Imam's viceroy of all Greater Syria.

I wonder if the Sunni Muslims are aware of how truly sick and deranged Nasrallah is?

I wonder if the Lebanonese Christian and Druze are aware of this?

It's time to shine the light upon evil.

What of it ? So , all the usual suspects (Galloway , etc) will turn up and spout the usual rants about Israel. No change there. No interest , either , from 99.9% of the citizenry.

Best ignore them . Treat them with the contempt they deserve , and deny them what Margaret Thatcher called 'the oxygen of publicity'.

Alternatively , do as ciaospirit did on LGF : Video them at their worst and show it to the entire world
