Exposing the role that Islamic jihad theology and ideology play in the modern global conflicts

Hamas-linked CAIR protests exclusion from U.S. of Muslim cleric who preached jihad against Christians: “Throats must be slit and skulls must be shattered”

Dec 27, 2012 3:47 pm By Robert Spencer

Hamas-linked CAIR, ever-lauded by the mainstream media as a “civil rights organization,” once again reveals its true colors. “CAIR Protests Saudi Radical’s Exclusion From U.S.,” from IPT News, December 27:

The
head of the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) vows to
complain to U.S. Department of Homeland Security officials after they blocked a radical Saudi cleric from entering the country this week to attend a national Islamist conference in Chicago.

Sheikh Ayed al-Qarni
was scheduled to speak twice during the Muslim American-Society
(MAS)/Islamic Circle of North America (ICNA) national convention Dec.
22-25. But a statement
released during the convention expressed “the unpleasant and saddening
news” that al-Qarni had been removed from his flight from Saudi Arabia
despite having a visa from the U.S. embassy, and that he appears to be
on the U.S. “no-fly list.” Al-Qarni is described as “one of our great
speakers” and as someone known “for his logical discourse and balanced
views, he promotes understanding and collaboration between all people,
regardless of their faith, background, or language.”

Al-Qarni has advocated jihad in the past and his preaching on the subject has been described as influential among al-Qaida followers.

CAIR Executive Director Nihad Awad told an Arabic news outlet
that he would protest al-Qarni’s exclusion with DHS and State
Department officials. “We defend all Muslims who are subject to
arbitrary measure, and by this logic, we will act but not formally
plead, unless we obtain authorization from him.”

It’s an ironic protest to make in light of a public relations campaign orchestrated by CAIR’s Chicago chapter.
“MyJihad” aims to show non-Muslims that the term jihad is more about
peaceful, personal attempts at overcoming challenges than about calls
for violence and terror.

Through Awad, also a listed speaker
at the convention, CAIR is fighting to bring a Saudi cleric into the
United States who has argued the exact opposite message. During a 2005 sermon
flagged by the Middle East Media Research Institute (MEMRI), al-Qarni
called the jihad against American forces in Fallujah “a source of pride “¦
downing their planes, destroying equipment, slaughtering them, taking
them hostage, and proclaiming ‘Allah Akhbar’ from the mosques, and the
worshippers and the preacher cursing them in their prayers, and then
come others begging for forgiveness, and requesting a dialogue and a
ceasefire and negotiations. Who can say even one word against this true Jihad against these colonialist occupiers?” [Emphasis added]

He belittled Muslims who failed to take action, including “harming
the Jews.” He invoked Israel’s targeted killings of Hamas leaders Ahmed
Yassin and Abdel-Aziz Rantisi, saying he prayed that Allah “will destroy
the Jews and their helpers from among the Christians and the
Communists, and that He will turn them into the Muslims’ spoils. I
praise the Jihad, the sacrifice, and the resistance against the
occupiers in Iraq. We curse them all of them every night and pray that
Allah will annihilate them, tear them apart, and grant us victory over
them…”

“Throats must be slit and skulls must be shattered,” al-Qarni said. “This is the path to victory, to shahada, and to sacrifice.”
