Al-Muhajiroun: "Stay a Muslim: Don't Vote"

The British radical Muslim group Al-Muhajiroun has once again come out against the peaceful assimiliation of Muslims into British secular society with a piece entitled "The Shirk of Voting to Man-Made Law" (thanks to LGF), by "Dr Abu Osama and Dr Abu Ziyaad." Shirk is the association of partners with Allah — the cardinal sin in Islam. In other words, therefore, Al-Muhajiroun is asserting that to participate in the British political system is to worship false gods. In the article they make it clear that the only form of government acceptable to Muslims is the Sharia, which they consider to be divine law.

Yet even to suggest that Western Muslims may be attached to the Sharia is, as far as American Muslim advocacy groups are concerned, evidence of "Islamophobia." I guess we're just not supposed to notice Omar Bakri and Al-Muhajiroun. Pay no attention to the man wearing the caftan, eh?

Unfortunately for the Muslims in the West (who are living in the heartlands of the Kufr and the Shirk), election season is upon us, with voting for the European Parliament, the Mayor of London and the local UK elections taking place on the 10th of June. I say unfortunately because for the real Muslim Muwaahid (true monotheists) this is a time of great pain and sadness as they see how the kuffaar usurp one of the most important Names and Attributes of Allaah (swt), that of al-Hakam al-Adl (the Divine Just Ruler), and direct it to themselves.

However, the greater pain is caused because the people who call themselves by Muslims names and attribute themselves to the Muslim Ummah (falsely), saying that they care for its concerns, participate in these events, choosing, canvassing and even arguing with their Muslim brethren about which Kaafir (disbeliever) they should give their vote to so that they may take office and thereby rule and judge by Kufr (non-Islam). ...

Regrettably, of recent has surfaced a more manifest attack against the Islamic ‘Aqeedah and the Tawheed (oneness) of Allaah (swt), in that so-called Muslims and their groupings (like Islamic Awakening (formerly known as Azzam publications) and Al-Muntada) are now calling other Muslims to vote for and choose Kufaar (disbelievers) to come into power, citing examples such as the story of Yusuf (as) and the principles of the "lesser of two evils" to further their cases whilst trying to cloak their actions of Shirk by wearing the negligee of Islamic Shariah in an attempt to look and appear legitimate in the eyes of the Muslims. ...

And we have mentioned numerous clear-cut, non disputable evidences before citing that the law is only for Allaah (swt) and that Allaah (swt) is the Supreme Legislator (Al-Musharri). How then can Islam be compatible with Democracy? How then can one engage in the process of voting or choosing an MP within such a system? A system that disregards the commandments of Allaah (swt); a system that performs istihlaal (making halaal what Allaah (swt) has declared haraam), changing the orders of Allaah (swt); Democracy is a system (nizaam) that says to Allaah (swt) “Our majority judgement is better and more wiser than what You (the Creator of man life and the universe) have sent to us in your Qur’an and in the Sunnah of Your Prophet (saw).”

What about: "Stay a Muslim. Stay home!" ? Wouldn't that be great for all of us?

Well, my guess is that these radical Islamists have already worn out their welcome in a lot of the world, and we're going to have some painful changes in immigration policy.

Kepha: Yes, we do. Holland is already on the verge of blowing up:

Strong increase of migrant population in Dutch cities

The percentage of migrant residents in the four largest Dutch cities, Amsterdam, Rotterdam, Utrecht and The Hague, increased sharply from 36 to 43 percent between 1995 and 2003, the Central Bureau of Statistics (CBS) said on Monday.

Rising tensions between native Dutch, Muslim immigrants

Dijkstal said the stigmatisation of Muslims and repeated attacks against the Islamic community cultivates fierce anti-Muslim reactions and breeds hate among Muslim youth for white Dutch nationals.

The jihadis are, regrettably, sending out mixed messages. This article, by the head of the Canadian Islamic Congress, calls for muslims to vote- which op-ed piece followed on an earlier piece in the same newspaper ("Canada's National Newspaper") in which he explicitly stated that the muslim vote in Canada should be used to advance islamic issues. For example, the abolition of the Parliamentary Canada-Israel Caucus:

As a Canadian khufr (and certainly if I were a Canadian Jew) I am concerned about this political activism. Not unexpected, though, what with unrestricted islamic immigration into Canada and the muslims' procreative excesses. It was only a matter of time before the islamists seized on the nature of parliamentary democracy allied with PC sensitivites, and advanced the ummah under the noses of a largely-ignorant non-muslim public.

Dhimmitude, anyone?

The radicalism of Moslem populations in the west and the polarisation it inevitably implies are actually extremely useful to Europeans and European-Americans. Privately, we should welcome these developments. They serve to concentrate minds wonderfully, leaving no doubt as to the intolerance of Islam for our cultural expression and the kind of future that awaits us. They also present us with a clear fissure among those whose interests are normally advanced by continued third world immigration. In Britain, for example, the Chief Rabbi, Jonathan Sachs, called for immigration restrictions last year - the first time I've seen Jews break with their established, pluralist agenda.

Yes, as Europeans and European-Americans deplore the nature of radical Islam by all means. But exploit the opportunities it provides.

Ok, that's it. I am going to find every newspaper link I can for Canada and send this article to them. And every politician I can, also.

Posted by: Gary at June 8, 2004 8:28 AM

Gary, just goto canada.com. You can reach every paper coast to coast. Don't forget to send an email to Pete "the heat" Warren. ( http://peterwarren.ca/) he even has jihadwatch linked, LoL.

Gary, I see where you're coming from now. On the other thread I thought you were shilling for Kerry, but you were doing somethint else instead. I've forgotten where the other thread is, but I still wanted to post my apologies.

Don't worry jawa, if these text books are as dull as the ones they fed me in school, no one is paying any attention to them....

jawa-

anti american textbook said "In contrast, Canadians are depicted as orderly, harmonious and gentlemanly."

These guys were never around my home town. Nor were they anywhere near a hockey game. What a joke.

I have recently started collecting the e mails and web site addresses of all the womens/gay rights organisations I can.
I then e mail them any stories available about the maltreatment of these 2 groups in the wonderfull world of islam. some of the replies make me think that slowly the penny is dropping and the worm is turning.
These 2 groups need to realise that being PC about islam is not going to help them in an islamic state. There is nothing PC about the koran.
