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

Long Island mosque “chipped in” to support jihad terrorists

May 4, 2014 4:01 pm By Robert Spencer

james-ujaamaSo says James Ujaama (pictured). And characteristic of the mainstream media, the New York Daily News (the only news source to report on this at all) buried the news in the contrast between the Long Island jihad-supporting mosque and the Brooklyn mosque that refused to support Abu Hamza. The mainstream media is avid to portray Muslims in the U.S. as opposed to jihad terror — so much so that when some support it, the media does all it can to obscure the news. “Oh, by the way, a Long Island mosque funded Al Qaeda,” Elder of Ziyon, May 3, 2014 (thanks to The Religion of Peace):

Which is bigger news: that a mosque on Long Island funded a terror group, or that a Brooklyn mosque didn’t?

The New York Daily News decided the latter:

When a Seattle man working in London with hate preacher Abu Hamza al-Masri flew to New York to raise money for jihad fighters in Afghanistan, a Brooklyn mosque told him to get lost, he testified.

Witness James Ujaama said a Long Island mosque chipped in to help Abu Hamza’s Supporters of Sharia group. “What was the reaction you received from the mosque in Brooklyn?” a prosecutor asked Thursday. “Not very supportive,” Ujaama said.

Abu Hamza, 56, is charged with aiding Al Qaeda and the Taliban.

I haven’t been following the case, but I don’t see anything else about any Long Island mosque funding terrorists (although there have been terrorists that attended at least one mosque on Long Island.)

It appears that political correctness forces the media to emphasize when American Muslims don’t support terror, and all but ignore when they do. This is pandering and ultimately an insult not only to the general readership but to US Muslims as well, as it implies that Muslims who say no to terror are somehow praiseworthy while those who support terror are the norm.

Meanwhile, shouldn’t people know the name of this Long Island mosque whose members happily fork over money to terrorists?

Yeah.

    Every Muslim by definition supports terrorism since every Muslim reveres the sociopath MUHAMMAD who PERSONALLY DECAPITATED 900 UNARMED JEWS: an act of terrorism that every Muslim celebrates….therefore a Muslim who does not support terrorism will never be found…unless he or she is an apostate who must be killed by observant Muslims.

      The vast majority of Muslims do not support terrorism, they do not want sharia, they are decent persons and wish to live in peace just like you and me.
      Technically, the vast majority of Muslims are actually apostates, and yes, they are often targeted and killed by observant Muslims.
      The free world has the moral obligation of protecting them from the observant-Muslim thugs. By doing so, we would be protecting ourselves.
      When they don’t feel threatened, decent Muslims openly and publicly leave Islam.

        ”The free world has the moral obligation of protecting them from the observant-Muslim thugs. By doing so, we would be protecting ourselves.”

        No we bloody well don’t, and no we would not.

        The **only** people we should be protecting are the Christians and Jews in the Middle East, and in all other mohammedan cess pits world wide.

        ‘Technically, the vast majority of Muslims are actually apostates, and yes, they are often targeted and killed by observant Muslims”

        What proof do you have for this **enormous** assertion ? That millions of Egyptians rose against morsi and the MB ? That doesn’t make them apostates. It just means they didn’t like the bullying MB.

        If, as you say, ”the vast majority of muslims are actually apostates”, then **they** have the moral obligation to put their money where their mouths are, and publicly apostasise. But they clearly don’t have the moral courage of Christians who refuse to reject Christianity, under sentence of death.

        ” … yes, they are often targeted and killed by observant Muslims”

        sunnis kill shias, shias kill sunnis, both kill ahmadiyyas, all turn on each other for being ‘insufficiently islamic’.

        And you think we have a **moral obligation** to protect them ? Faugh.

        By the way, what, exactly, in your mind, would constitute ”protection” ? Do you want the West to get any more involved than it already is in Syria, Yemen, Somalia, or is it just **Egypt** you have in mind ? Do you believe the West should be intervening **militarily** in order to fulfil our ‘moral obligation to protect muslims’ ?

        Funny, I haven’t seen you calling on the West to exercise a moral obligation to protect **Christians and Jews**. Why is that ?

        • Salah says

          May 5, 2014 at 11:42 am

          Moral Obligation does not mean Obligation. There’s a great difference. We don’t HAVE to protect them, and yes, we WON’T protect them, that’s because the post Christian West has lost the true sense of morality.
          No, we don’t have to do it through military intervention, all we need to do is stopping aid packages to countries that do not respect religious freedoms. We don’t do that and we won’t do it because, again, WE have lost our judeo-christian morality.
          It’s because of OUR cowardice that many Christians and Jews throughout history had no other choice but to submit to Islam in order to survive. And now, that they and their children have become Muslims, we are accusing THEM of being … Muslims!!!
          Well, let me tell you: They are Muslims because WE didn’t do enough to protect them. The West had, and still has, the power to correct this mistake. But first, we need to re-discover our true values, our Judeo-Christian values.

        Quote:

        end

        And I hope that eventually, this majority articulates itself clearly and in a way that their more violence-prone elements can comprehend.

          They’ve done it in Egypt and I hope it will spread. Problem is: they’re not only fighting against jihadists, but also against their supporters (i.e. the US, EU, UN, Turkey, Qatar…)

      Yes, the terrorists and jihadists are devout Muslims who are following in the footsteps of the Warlord Muhammad. Islam is a Religion of War that was created to justify the Arab empire’s conquests and to unite the Arab empire.

    In reply to salah:

    ”Moral Obligation does not mean Obligation. There’s a great difference.”

    I, and the rest of the present day West, are not responsible for the Islamic invasions over the past 1400 years, and the forced conversions of Hindus, Jews, Christians, Buddhists, or anyone else, so I refuse to buy into this pseudo assumption of guilt which you are trying to place on our shoulders.

    You make no comment on my point that if, as you assert, ” the vast majority of muslims are actually apostates”, the fact they do not all publicly apostasise argues either extreme moral cowardice, or in fact they are not actually ‘apostates’, at all.

    Contrast the behaviour of your ‘millions’ of putative muslim apostates with the tremendous courage shown by Christians in Islamic hell holes who **refuse** to convert, or deny their faith. Who do they have on their side ? Very few. But in your scenario, all these millions of muslims, who are **really** apostates, have each other on their side; why isn’t there a mass scene of muslim apostasies ?

    Neither do you comment on what I said about why you haven’t called upon the West, (or us here at JW) to exercise a moral obligation to protect **Jews and Christians**. Why not ?

    ” … yes, they are often targeted and killed by observant Muslims”

    Who is this ‘they’ ? Your putative ” vast majority of muslim apostates” ?

    Muslims kill each other. For being the wrong sect, for not being sufficiently Islamic, because they can gain some advantage out of it, or for no reason at all. From what can be seen, here at JW, and in the news when it is reported, it is Christians and other non-muslims who are being ”targeted and killed by observant muslims”, not some vague, amorphous, huge group of ”a vast majority of muslim apostates”.

    If there are these millions of muslim apostates, (whom I think exist mainly in your wishful thinking), where are they ? Why aren’t they speaking up ? Why aren’t they standing up for themselves, against the murderous ‘observant’ muslims ? And please don’t quote millions of Egyptians protesting against the MB. They are not protesting sharia, or spitting on mohammed.

    In truth, your millions of muslim apostates have as much real existence as ‘moderate muslims’. Scratch a ‘moderate muslim’, by questioning the character of mohammed, the rape of Aisha, and the hatred in the koran, and you will find a murderous, raging freak ready to rip your throat out.

    ”No, we don’t have to do it through military intervention, all we need to do is stopping aid packages to countries that do not respect religious freedoms.”

    I actually agree with this, the only point you make that I do agree with, but how will that ‘protect’ your putative ”vast majority of muslims who are actually apostates” ?

    ” I refuse to buy into this pseudo assumption of guilt which you are trying to place on our shoulders.”

    I’ll say it again: it’s not an obligation. So I’m not trying to place any guilt on your shoulders. It’ a MORAL obligation, meaning that you don’t HAVE to do it, but if you decide to do it you’ll be morally superior. Think Christ, he didn’t have to die for our sins, he did it out of extreme love, that’s why He is morally superior to all.

    “the fact they do not all publicly apostasise argues either extreme moral cowardice, or in fact they are not actually ‘apostates’, at all.”

    I would argue for the first: extreme cowardice.

    ” the tremendous courage shown by Christians in Islamic hell holes who **refuse** to convert”

    They are courageous indeed, but many of them did actually convert, that’s how their children and grandchildren became what we call today: Muslims. Most Muslims are the grandchildren of Christians and Jews who happened to be less courageous than others.

    ” all these millions of muslims, who are **really** apostates, have each other on their side; why isn’t there a mass scene of muslim apostasies ?”

    1-FEAR, they fear each other.
    2-IGNORANCE, many Muslims know almost nothing about their religion except praying five times a day and fasting Ramadan. That’s why most of them behave decently, according to their human nature and not to Muhammad’s true teachings.

    ” And please don’t quote millions of Egyptians protesting against the MB. They are not protesting sharia, or spitting on mohammed.”

    Yes, they ARE protesting sharia. No, they’re not spitting on Muhammad…yet! Some of them though, are indeed spitting on Muhammad, but that’s because they feel safe and protected:
    http://crossmuslims.blogspot.ca/2014/01/egyptian-muslims-tear-up-quran.html

    “by questioning the character of mohammed, the rape of Aisha, and the hatred in the koran”

    I know, but they don’t. That’s why education is extremely important. Check out this PPS, I’ve made it especially for Muslims so that they may discover the truth about their prophet. I’ve made it in english, french and arabic hoping to unveil Muhammad to the average Muslim:
    http://crossmuslims.blogspot.com/2010/12/perfect-man-of-islam.html

    “but how will that ‘protect’ your putative ”vast majority of muslims who are actually apostates” ?”

    Through political and economic pressure. All countries MUST respect religious freedom or face isolation, including zero economic aid.

    BTW, I’m an egyptian catholic. I am lucky my parents and grandparents didn’t submit to Islam otherwise I would have been a Muslim too.
