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

Nihad Awad of Hamas-linked CAIR teams with Jew-hating Muslim cleric who hopes Muslims will imitate Hitler’s genocide

And together they’re going to produce a whitewashed movie about Muhammad, so as to fool the ever-credulous kuffar. And why not? As head of Hamas-linked CAIR, Nihad Awad has been fooling the kuffar for years, as has Sheikh Qaradawi, who has won praise as a reformist from John Esposito and counts former London Mayor Ken Livingstone among his friends.

Qaradawi is the most popular Islamic preacher in the world. He said on al-Jazeera: “Throughout history, Allah has imposed upon the [Jews] people who would punish them for their corruption. The last punishment was carried out by Hitler. By means of all the things he did to them — even though they exaggerated this issue — he managed to put them in their place. This was divine punishment for them. Allah willing, the next time will be at the hand of the believers”¦.”

Qaradawi continued: “I’d like to say that the only thing I hope for is that as my life approaches its end, Allah will give me an opportunity to go to the land of Jihad and resistance, even if in a wheelchair. I will shoot Allah’s enemies, the Jews, and they will throw a bomb at me, and thus, I will seal my life with martyrdom.”

Awad is consistent, at least. In 2002 he was at a prayer service led by jihad terror mastermind Anwar al-Awlaki, and now he is working with Qaradawi. He must think that nothing will shake the faith that government, law enforcement and the media have in Hamas-linked CAIR as a “civil rights” organization. And he’s probably right.

“CAIR Leader Teams with Radical, Jew-Hating Imam,” from IPT News, December 21 (thanks to Blazing Cat Fur):

One leads an organization that poses
as a mainstream civil rights organization, defending individual rights
and fighting discrimination. The other is an influential cleric who has
repeatedly expressed his wish to kill Jews before he dies.

Together, they are promoters of a new film venture about the Muslim prophet Muhammad.

Nihad Awad,
co-founder and executive director of the Washington, D.C.-based Council
on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR), shared a stage with Yusuf al-Qaradawi, a Muslim Brotherhood spiritual leader, during a news conference in Qatar earlier this week.

The Muhammad movie project carries an estimated $1 billion price tag.
It will be produced in in English to appeal to non-Muslim audiences and
is backed by the al Noor Holding Group, Qatar’s al-Sharq newspaper reported.

During the news conference, Awad complained that the American film
industry had generated 750 movies “in which Islam and Muslims were noted
in a negative way,” the article said. The seven-part Muhammad film was
an important step in countering the resulting image, Awad said.

Qaradawi, whose extremist rhetoric prompted France to ban him
from visiting the country, essentially blessed the script as acceptable
under religious law despite its portrayals of the prophet and his
companions. He was joined by other trustees from Qaradawi’s
International Union for Muslim Scholars in supporting the project.

The union’s board includes Tunisian Islamist leader Rachid
Ghannouchi, a Hamas supporter who has praised Hamas rocket fire toward
civilians and blessed mothers of suicide bombers, and Salah Soltan, a former Ohio imam who has repeatedly called for the killing of Jews.

“There is no excuse for anyone to refrain from jihad after God has
removed the affliction, which obstructed us from jihad to liberate
Palestine,” he said last year. In a speech last week, he called on Egyptians to approve the country’s heavily-Islamist constitution, saying it would help lead to Jerusalem’s liberation….
