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

Denmark: No imams want to join anti-Islamic State demonstration

Sep 12, 2014 2:59 pm By Nicolai Sennels

ISISdoctrineQuranTranslated from Information:

A demonstration in Aarhus (Denmark), where Muslims are encouraged to denounce the terrorist group Islamic State, has had difficulty attracting participants. Muslims are afraid of being attacked or receiving hate mail from IS followers in Denmark, say representatives of the Muslim community in the city …

It is not surprising, says Ann-Sophie Hemmingsen, a researcher on radicalization at the Danish Institute for International Studies (DIIS), that many Muslims in Denmark fear reprisals.

“It is not currently possible to determine whether the fear of reaction from the IS support at home is justified. But it’s very understandable that Muslims in Denmark, showing their resistance to IS, fear that IS’s brutality in Iraq, for example, can be followed up with actions from the IS supporters at home,” she says. …

“None of the imams I have spoken to have been keen to set up and support the demonstration, and it’s really annoying,” said Mohammad Sabah Ahmad (organizer of the demonstration).

    what a pity.Islam is engulfing civilization.

      Yes, it has an unpleasant habit of doing that .. or trying to do that. Cultures have gone extinct because of islam.

      Yes, and the so-called ‘moderates’ are doing nothing.

    Hardly surprising; Islam functions solely on the basis of violent threats from the fanatics and cowardly submission from the rest.

    • mortimer says

      Yes…and ordinary Muslims feed, clothe and finance them.

    Says one from a Muslim Street in Denmark: “The surprising thing is not why people are afraid of them (IS) but more that some people have the courage to mobilize peaceful restance”.

        Steffen,
        Maybe most of them support Sharia and the caliphate…just like ISIS.

          I think it s a combination of being gutless wonders, and a desire to see Islam dominate the world.

    ”A demonstration in Aarhus (Denmark), where Muslims are encouraged to denounce the terrorist group Islamic State, has had difficulty attracting participants.

    Whoo hoo ! This tells us exactly what **nonsense** it is for us to depend on ‘decent muslims’. What a load of Shiite ” ( and Sunni sunni orange juice) They are a bunch of gutless wankers. One might as well as depend on the Brown Shirts in Nazi Germany to defend one against the SS. What unmitigated **crap**.

    FEAR!!!
    Muslims are afraid of the jihadists even in peaceful, law-abiding Denmark!

    The jihadists KILL FOR ALLAH!

    Anyhow, what is the difference between ISIS and Saudi Arabia?

    There isn’t a difference.

    The non-existent tiny minority of non-extremists. My how things have changed.

    Sep 12, 2014 at 7:12 pm

    Unwittingly, they have told us *exactly* what it would be like to live under sharia.

    No, thanks. I’d rather stick needles in my eyes.

    No problem have them draw a cartoon of all the Imams rejecting IS & their interpretation of the Koran.

  9. fair_dinkum says

    Sep 13, 2014 at 3:41 am

    you have to look a bit further in.

    you will never get many moslem participants. they are instructed in the koran to show neutrality until their position strengthens.. beyond changing.

    so its influenced by 2 elements. fear of reprisals and the teachings of the book.

    i would say that, as in other countries, more moslems believe in supporting the islamic state than dont support it.

    there’s a big factor right there.

    Why not just use Taqqiya? thats what its there for.

    “yes we condemn ISIS! (wink wink)” – is it so difficult for Muslims to obey the Islamic injunction lie and fool the unbelievers?

    strange

      Apparently ISIS or OSIRIS or whatever they call themselves are consummate Islamophobes. Go figure, they have just proven what all “moderate” muslims have been maintaining all along. This pesky Islamophobia is now coming at them from every direction and the poor sensitive little darlings just can’t take any more. It just proves that like Obama said, ISIS ain’t Islamic. S’cuse me, my head is spinning.

    It is NOT from fear. It is from support. This stupid woman needs to wake up and face reality.

  12. Dave says

    Sep 13, 2014 at 4:52 pm

    The reason they don’t is because deep down inside they support it.

    It is beyond ironic that muslims say we are fear mongoring ISLAMOPHOBIA but now here they are not enabling and staying silent out of fear of Islamic terror. they are now ISLAMOPHOBIC too!! They are discriminating against 99% of all the Muslims by thinking the majority of muslims would join ISIS if they showed up in America. ISIS is here now. Most Muslims have already joined when they said the shahada. Muslims for speaking out against the Islamic State. They accuse us of being “islamophobic” and now they are displaying the same irrational fear as everyone else is?

    There is no such thing as islamophobia! Muslimophobia yes. I think/hope 51% of all Muslims wouldn’t actively kill or harm others, but I am not sure about the other 49%.

    I am sure Sweden, Norway and all the other Euro and American imams and mosques will say the same thing. “That acknowledging them strengthens them, and that to fight them is to incur their wrath. ” So they will just let them roll on in because as Muslims themselves they have the best chance of living.

    They are Hypocrites and liars of the highest order that I have ever seen in any population.

    Islam is itself a contradiction and falsehood by eradicating truths and differeing opinions. So it is inevitable that the same backwards quran and hadith that vomited out the abortion called sharia law, lying, even if they protest and speak up, they will NEVER actively fight against the islamic state because it furthers their religion and they don’t think they have blood on their hands. But really they do have the same ISIS weaponry they use to justify their mass violence.

    Muslims all over the world know you can’t even trust the other Muslims denominations. Islam breeds a healthy rational fear of itself if the interpretations are different from their own.

      Sorry I should have proof read the above. here are 2 errors of mine.

      1st sentance. “not enabling and staying silent” should be “enabling the terrorists and staying silent”

      2.”the abortion called sharia law, lying,” should be “the abortion of lies called sharia law, would by default create an entire lying population.”

    “None of the imams I have spoken to have been keen to set up and support the demonstration, and it’s really annoying,” said Mohammad Sabah Ahmad (organizer of the demonstration).

    They have a good head on their shoulders and they want to keep it that way. Good for them.

    The Muslim faith is slowly doing by subterfuge what it could never achieve openly and quickly.
    Taking over the western world without firing a shot, aided by politically correct suicidal fools.

  16. kaz says

    fearful? horse apples. they agree with ISIS. what they are fearful of is Danish reaction if they told the truth. so they lie, and danes will pretend to believe them, and continue their descent into slavery and genocide at the hands of islam.

    Europe is doomed, I heard the PM of the UK say with a strait face that Islam was a religion of peace. Sweden is quickly following France down the Islamic rat hole. Saudi style Morality Police are patrolling in Germany. Europe is quite simply doomed, and most of the people wont see it until it to late.
