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

Egyptian Salafi party defends Islamic State from “secularists who never fail to distort everything connected to Islam”

Oct 26, 2014 5:46 am By Raymond Ibrahim

SalafiFurther demonstrating its true face, Egypt’s National Salafi Party recently refused to count the Islamic State as a “terrorist” organization, or even that it had misinterpreted Islam.

Despite the fact that the Islamic State’s many atrocities are well known—crucifixions, beheadings, massacres, enslavements and rapes—Yousry Hammad, the party’s vice president, said: “I hope that a delegation of ulema [Islamic scholars and jurisprudents] respond regarding the Islamic State’s creed and methodology—for this question preoccupies many of the Islamic community’s youth.”

He added that he did not trust many of the sources reporting on the Islamic State, “especially the secularists who never fail to distort everything connected to Islam.”

He made no comment regarding the atrocities the Islamic State itself has broadcast via videos and images on the Internet.

The Egyptian Salafi leader concluded by saying that, “If they [Islamic State] are righteous, I ask that Allah glorify Islam at the hands of the righteous; and if they are corrupt, Allah brings injustice against injustice, brings them against the injustice of Maliki and his allies, and Bashar and his allies…”

    There’s ‘good terrorism’ and ‘bad terrorism’.

    Koran 8.60 ‘turhibunna’ (terrorize them) is ‘good terrorism’ for the Salafists.

    Islam need more apologists, especially after last week.

    Those damn secularists are at it again! Distorting the many well known atrocities—crucifixions, beheadings, massacres, enslavements and rapes—they will never fail to distort anything connected to Islam.

    I guess it’s all of those verses in the Koran that commands its followers to constantly fight, and kill, and slay, and cut off heads and fingertips that the ignorant secularists do not properly understand and continually distort. If they would just submit and embrace Islam and the Religion of Peace.

    Please take a look at the links below so all of you ignorant misinformed secularists can see the many verses that command murderous violence throughout the Koran:

    I was a cradle catholic, an altar boy – still remember most of the Latin – and seriously considered the priesthood.

    But I had doubts. So I read the entire bible cover to cover several times and investigated other religions. I won’t call myself an expert on any of them, but one thing stood out. Unlike ALL of the others, islam is violent. And the prophet they revere was a bandit, a killer, a slaver who promoted an authoritarian POLITICAL system. Other religions, I found, had committed violence, but those acts of violence has to be explained away; they are inherent to islam.

    So I have been warning people about islam for 50 years; it’s just now that others are starting to listen.

    Yes, I am a secularist and left wing – but I am ready to put my differences aside with the right wing and fudamentalists of all other religions to INFORM our fellow citizens of the danger we face while it is still possible to prevent the conquest of of the civilized world by the most violent, subversive and downright evil ideologies we have ever faced.

    The only comparative examples are naziism and communism – political ideologies, which is, of course, what islam actually is, dressed in the trappings of a religion

    Like Hitler and Stalin, Mohammed was primarily interested in despotic rule; sharia law is his response to all other forms of government, including our constitutional one.

    We need to remove religious protections from islam; it’s not a religion, it’s a plan for conquest. Advocating the violent overthrow of our government is not protected speech. Unless muslims publicly denounce the crimes of Mohammed and the prophet they should be driven from the country

      Great to hear from an ‘old timer’, older in it than Robert!

      Are you familiar with the Murfreesboro masjid issue?
      From what I had read in the past, it seems like the intent is to end up in the Supreme to argue, successfully, that islam is not a religion and deserves no special protection.

      Perhaps you can share some resources, aside from Robert and Pam(!), that you can share?

        “Are you familiar with the Murfreesboro masjid issue?”

        No. got a link?

        Sorry, I probably use the same sources you do, like “Answering muslims” and “Religion of Peace”

        Didn’t turn out that way, unfortunately. The Supremes declined to take the case: http://www.religionnews.com/2014/06/03/murfreesboro-mosque-fight-laid-rest-supreme-court-ruling/

    Essentially there is not a nickles worth of difference between Wahhibists [the principle sect in Saudi Arabia] and Salafists. They both subscribe to a fundamentalist interpretation of Islam. Islam as practiced by Mohammed, Islam by the book. This is what ISIS is, Islam by the book, Islam as practiced by Mohammed. The mainstream media and politicians like John Kerry turn themselves inside out trying to avoid recognizing and discussing this basic truth.

      “Islam as practiced by Mohammed”

      That’s the key phrase of your comment. If rape, murder, banditry, slavery, and pedophilia are not evil, then the word has no meaning.
