Jihad Watch

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

What we fight — Obama: “Violent extremism”; Cameron: Those “perverting Islam”

Jan 17, 2015 11:09 am By Robert Spencer

obama_cameronCameron is winning praise for daring to suggest that the foe we face has anything to do with Islam. At the same time, however, he continues to maintain that the jihadis are “perverting” their peaceful religion. That is an unproven assertion and not a harmless one: it forces law enforcement and intelligence officials to waste time and resources on a fruitless search for what motivates young Muslims to join jihad groups — since the officials are bound as a matter of policy to ignore the fact that the jihad groups appeal to Islamic texts and teachings to recruit peaceful Muslims. And this leads to policy errors such as the endless flow of jizya to Pakistan and Afghanistan, predicated on the false assumption that poverty causes terrorism and wealth will end it.

Ultimately, neither Cameron nor Obama is facing the jihad threat squarely or realistically. And so the jihad fire will continue to rage, despite their best efforts to contain it.

“Obama vs. Cameron: British PM takes hard line on ‘Islamist’ extremists, Obama avoids I-word,” FoxNews.com, January 16, 2015 (thanks to Robert):

…Obama:

“We both recognize that intelligence and military force alone is not going to solve this problem, so we’re also going to keep working together on strategies to counter violent extremism that radicalizes recruits and mobilizes people, especially young people, to engage in terrorism.”

“We also look forward to welcoming our British friends to our summit next month on countering violent terrorism, because whether in Europe or in America, a critical weapon against terrorism is our adherence to our freedoms and values at home, including the pluralism and the respect and tolerance that defines us as diverse and democratic societies.”

“This phenomenon of violent extremism, the ideology, the networks, the capacity to recruit young people, this has metastasized and it is widespread, and it has penetrated communities around the world.”

“I do not consider it an existential threat. As David said, this is one that we will solve. We are stronger. We are representing values that the vast majority of Muslims believe in — in tolerance and in working together to build, rather than to destroy.”

“And so, you know, this is a problem that causes great heartache and tragedy and destruction, but it is one that ultimately we’re going to defeat. But we can’t just defeat it through weapons. One of the things that we spoke about is how do we lift up those voices that represent the vast majority of the Muslim world, so that that counter-narrative against this nihilism is put out there as aggressively and as nimbly as the messages coming out from these — these fanatics.”

Cameron:

“We know what we’re up against. And we know how we will win. We face a poisonous and fanatical ideology that wants to pervert one of the world’s major religions, Islam, and create conflict, terror and death. With our allies, we will confront it wherever it appears.”

“We will deploy additional intelligence and surveillance assets to help Iraqi forces on the ground, and we will ensure they are better trained and equipped to counter explosive devices. But most important of all, we must also fight this poisonous ideology starting at home.”

“We do face a very serious Islamist extremist terrorist threat in Europe, in America, across the world. And we have to be incredibly vigilant in terms of that threat.”

“It means countering this poisonous, fanatical death cult of a narrative that is perverting the religion of Islam.”

“But here’s, I think, the really determining point: You can have, tragically, people who have had all the advantages of integration, who’ve had all the economic opportunities that our countries can offer, who still get seduced by this poisonous, radical, death cult of a narrative.”

“So, let’s never lose sight of the real enemy here, which is the poisonous narrative that’s perverting Islam. That is what we have to focus on, recognizing that, of course, we help ourselves in this struggle if we create societies of genuine opportunity, if we create genuine integration between our communities.”

    Is Cameron doing this because of lucrative Saudi and Qatar “on the board of directors” positions coming his way once he’s out of office? Is indirectly in their pay now? Is he doing this because he is completely clueless and is only listening, blocking out all reality, to “trusted advisors”. Advisors and consultants who are moslem, naturally — with their own agenda, which is ultimately only about advancing Islam. Or is he just one of those completely delusional leftists who has never even tried to actually research Islam and what it says in its texts, and is instead subsituting an imaginary vision of the way he and other leftists are sure MUST be in there, and what they imagine MUST be going on in those mosques. Or is he a mixture of al these?

    With Obama, we have many of the same questions. However, it has been virtually established that he is a moslem. I didn’t want to believe it, but the evidence has become overwhelming, and any jury in the modern world would find him guilty if he were put on trial for such a thing.

      Some points:
      Cameron keeps praising the “fantastic contribution” of Islam;
      “He doesn’t listen”, said the killers of Lee Rigby;
      His advisers include Tariq Ramadan, purveyor of taqiyya.

    Just on the the subject of Obama alone. In that he willfully refuses co call Islam terrorism what it really is. Which is Islamic terrorism. He even refuses in ,in spite of the facts, to use the word ‘jihad’ then a jihad terror attack happens. As in for example Fort Hood and the Boston Islamic terror bombing. The needs to come to reality and call things as they really are. Furthermore, Brigitte Gabriel who is the founder of actforamerica.org and the author of the book entitled THEY MUST BE STOPPED was on television this week on FOX NEWS and she was right on the mark when she stated that”Obama is more interested in protecting image of Islam then protecting the safety of the American public.” Lets all face it Obama has a strong case of denial concerning the violent nature that is so much part of the essence of Islam.”

    Obama and his gang of likewise PC minded people try as much as they can to coverup the truth about the real nature of Islamic terror. In an attempt to put up a smokescreen and hide the truth many PC people use the fake word “Islamism” for Islam. Likewise ,they also use the fake word “Islamist” the describe a Muslim terrorist . They also make the unfounded claim that those kinds of terrorists “have hijacked Islam.” Instead of calling things as they really are and saying that these kind of terrorists are engaging in the violent and deadly jihad of actual Islam. Obama and his PC folk need to wake up to reality and call thing as they really are.

    • Michael Copeland says

      Jan 17, 2015 at 12:30 pm

      The “hi-jacking” metaphor is almost certainly owed to CAIR, being fed to GW Bush when they invited him to Washington mosque after 9/11. Bush was reading, not very well, a script that was in front of him, and still made mistakes. The CAIR personnel were monitoring his performance with a critical look in their eye. Who knows how many “takes” it took before the footage was released: they probably fed him the famous line “Islam is peace”. Bush is not known for general knowledge.

      Exactly. ‘islamism’ or ‘islamist’ are absolutely meaningless words created to confuse ordinary people to make them think that it’s something different from ‘religion of islam’.
      On the same note is the term ‘moderate muslim’, as we all know that mythical creature does not exist except in the minds of leftists.

    WISHFUL THINKING ABOUT ISLAMISM IS DANGEROUS!

    Fr Henri Boulad SJ of Alexandria refutes the baseless and DANGEROUS generalizations of Cameron and Obama:

    “Islamism is Islam!

    This claim is neither arbitrary nor fanciful. It does not stem from either prejudice or provocation or from a fanatical or intolerant position, or from an obstinately negative or reductionist position.

    On the contrary, I believe this claim is perfectly consistent with Islam’s history and geography, with the Koran and the Sunna, with the life of Mohammed, with the evolution of Islam, and with what Islam says about itself. I refute the position of all those—be they Muslim or Christian—who veil their faces, play the ostrich, waffle, refuse to see reality in all its objectivity or indulge in wishful thinking…all in the name of ‘dialogue’ or ‘tolerance’…

    Islamism is naked Islam, Islam without a mask and without paint, Islam perfectly consistent and true to itself, an Islam that has the courage and lucidity to go all the way to its ultimate conclusions and final implications.

    Islamism is Islam in all its logic and in all its rigour. Islamism is present in Islam as the chick is present in the egg, as the fruit is present in the flower and as the tree is present in the seed.”

  10. Know Thy Enemy says

    Jan 17, 2015 at 2:18 pm

    Obama, David Cameron, and many others have fully vested themselves in the idea that Islam is peaceful and has nothing to do with the deeds of its followers. Their is no way they can entertain the opposite idea without destroying themselves, and therefore we should not even hope that they will!

    IMO The only solution is to change the government in the next elections. We should direct our time, energy and resources to find and promote those people who already name the enemy correctly. In the US, one such person that I can think of who also seems to have decent leadership qualities, is Ben Carson! Of course there might be more such candidates.

    Canada already seems to have a decent leader at the PM position. It seems to me that the only reason why he holds back what he really thinks of Islam is because he realizes that his opinions will directly clash with the very beliefs that other western leaders have vested themselves in! If that were not a issue, he would be more open.

    Once again, we need to dedicate ourselves to promoting the good people for leadership of our nations. The sooner we start, the more success we are likely to have!

    According to these Quislings, Mohammad himself perverted Islam.

    By beheading people over a religious dispute, taking sex slaves, and enjoining his hordes to slaughter unbelievers in the name of Allah.

    Mohammad,. the first bad Muslim.

    That’s Barack’s and Cameron’s story.

    And they can have it.

  13. ECAW says

    Jan 17, 2015 at 4:09 pm

    I see signs of Cameron edging towards the light here.

    1. He’s too embarrassed to come out with the “Nothing to do with Islam” line these days.

    2. Islam is no longer “a religion of peace” just “one of the world’s major religions”

    3. “A poisonous and fanatical ideology” and “a fanatical death cult”.

    These are phrases from the counter jihad world and I haven’t heard him using them before. It’s just that he uses them to refer to a small part of Islam whereas we apply them to the whole. Hopefully that part will grow in his mind, as it is growing with the public, till it covers a quarter of Islam then a half of Islam then…..

    4. “People who have had all the advantages of integration, who’ve had all the economic opportunities that our countries can offer”.

    So someone has pointed out to him that the “poverty causes terrorism” line doesn’t wash any more.

    Sadly he still uses the term “Islamist extremists”. When he switches to “Islamic centrists” we’ll know that he’s got it.

      I notice they both have their sleeves rolled up too as if to say, “Look at me. I’m ready to get my hands dirty doing some strenuous work.” I’d like to see Obama and Cameron out mowing the lawn or weeding the garden. Would they know that it’s best not to let the dandelions bloom so the wind can spread the seeds? Would they know that eliminating such a weed requires killing the root? Would they understand that radical Islam is no less than Islam in full bloom? Would they see the connection between dandelions and Islam? What do you think?

    Thomas Jefferson knew a lot more about Islam then the current occupant of the White House.

    Jefferson then wrote a letter to John Jay that read:
    “The Ambassador answered us that it was founded on the Laws of their Prophet, that it was written in their Koran, that all nations who should not have acknowledged their authority were sinners, that it was their right and duty to make war upon them wherever they could be found, and to make slaves of all they could take as Prisoners, and that every Musselman [Muslim] who should be slain in battle was sure to go to Paradise.”

    This is loosely based upon the Qur’an’s teaching from Surah 47:4 which reads,
    “Therefore, when ye meet the Unbelievers (in fight), smite at their necks; At length, when ye have thoroughly subdued them, bind a bond firmly (on them): thereafter (is the time for) either generosity or ransom: Until the war lays down its burdens. Thus (are ye commanded): but if it had been Allah’s Will, He could certainly have exacted retribution from them (Himself); but (He lets you fight) in order to test you, some with others. But those who are slain in the Way of Allah,- He will never let their deeds be lost.”

    Camoron is every bit as much an appeaser, an effete Quisling capitulator, as Bin Bama. Both are hog-tied by the politically correct, multi-culti myth and marxist doctrines set out by the Frankfurt school, the EUSSR, etc. Camoron is torn between his puppet Fuehrerin Merkel and his lap-dog trainer, Bin Bama. The muslims laugh at their kow-towing, lying their heads off pretending that they do not intend to destroy civilisation, whilst funding, supporting and recruiting their front-line killers. Until the west has the courage to proscribe the evil, 7th century hate and war-driven cult of islam, the world will continue to spiral down to oblivion. Bin Bama’s and Camoron’s inability to face the truth amounts to genocide, effectively – no different to Nazi Germany where people looked the other way rather than admit what was going on

We preferred some to others; to some of them Allâh spoke (directly); others He raised to degrees (of honour); and to ‘Iesa (Jesus), the son of Maryam (Mary), We gave clear proofs and evidences, and supported him with Rûh-ul-Qudus [Jibrael (Gabriel)]. If Allâh had willed, succeeding generations would not have fought against each other, after clear Verses of Allâh had come to them, but they differed – some of them believed and others disbelieved. If Allâh had willed, they would not have fought against one another, but Allâh does what He likes.

        PPL CAN’T DEFETE ISLAM FROM THEIR MEDIA,MONEY ,POWER & LYING….

        BEC’S ITS PROTECTED NOT MUSLIM PPL,ITS PROTECTED ALMIGHTY CREATOR OF UNIVERSE AND ALL…..
        2: 255. Allâh! Lâ ilâha illa Huwa (none has the right to be worshipped but He), the Ever Living, the One Who sustains and protects all that exists. Neither slumber, nor sleep overtake Him. To Him belongs whatever is in the heavens and whatever is on earth. Who is he that can intercede with Him except with His Permission? He knows what happens to them (His creatures) in this world, and what will happen to them in the Hereafter . And they will never compass anything of His Knowledge except that which He wills. His Kursî extends over the heavens and the earth, and He feels no fatigue in guarding and preserving them. And He is the Most High, the Most Great.

          As a follower of Muhammad it is impossible for you to use logic or rational thinking attempting to defend your indefensible CULT belief system. This I have known to be a FACT for at least 30 years

          You start your comments with a LIE that Allah is the same as the God of the Bible when in reality Allah is only the mouth piece of Muhammad the ventriloquist

          Let me prove you WRONG based as usual on your own scripture

          If Allah is God, then he should be ALL KNOWING (Past Present & Future). If he were all knowing WHY has Allah ABROGATED earlier verses with later ones? How is it possible that Allah did NOT know the weaknesses of the followers of Muhammad?

          WHY does the Quran have 71 chapters containing Abrogating & Abrogated verses?

          Maybe you have a better answer than al Suyuti one of the foremost exegetes of Islam!

          As a Muslim intending to DECEIVE Quran ignorant readers, you have deliberately AVOIDED quoting verses from Muhammad’s Quran against ALL none Muslim humanity!

          As a Muslim, you Mendacity, Hypocrisy & Duplicity are fully understandable by those who know Islam

          You are still under the impression that Muslims can continue deceiving none Muslims in this internet connected world! You really are a fool!

          Will you please refute my comments?

          “in reality Allah is only the mouth piece of Muhammad the ventriloquist.”

          Once again, Amen, Al-Rassooli!

          Because it is Allah who Muhammad asserts is the speaker providing the words of the Qur’an.

          Allah, thus, in other words, the one projected into “sight” as the speaker–Muhammad, the real speaker of the words in the Qur’an, the ventriloquist, hidden behind the “curtain”–his wooden puppet, Allah, speaking, the words of the Qur’an.

          In truth, the fact that some of the rulings in the Qur’an have
          been abrogated actually represents one of the evidences to prove its
          divinity. The Qur’an is the last book that has been revealed by God for
          the guidance of humanity. It is a book that puts forward wholly
          practicable methods in the moulding of an ideal society on the basis of
          a moral code which it, in itself, dictates. It is, in addition, a book that
          seeks to show how, in the process of creating an exemplary and ideal
          society out of nothing but the most primitive human conditions, the
          divine law had influenced the making of such a society in the various
          stages of its evolution. The Qur’an does not contain certain numbered
          injunctions like the Ten Commandments that were revealed by God. It
          is, in fact, the compendium of laws that grew with the beat and rhythm
          of an evolving society that would eventually result in the fruitful
          transformation of an entire people. In that chain of legislation, it is but
          natural that the rulings that came at a time of total decadence will
          become irrelevant when the society has gone past that stage in its
          evolution. It is this loss of relevance that is, in fact, implied in the term
          ‘abrogation.’Consider, for instance, the verses related to the consumption of
          intoxicants. It must be remembered that the Qur’an was revealed to a
          society that virtually bathed in wine. It was not about wine, which
          turned man into beast, that the Qur’an first talked to them about. The
          Qur’an firstly impressed upon their minds the purest conception about
          God and of the unflinching awareness of the Hereafter. Indeed, the
          Qur’an had, as the first step, sought to create a readiness in submitting
          one’s entire life before the Creator. It was after having created a
          mind-set to which the acceptance of all legislations that were confirmed
          to have been issued from God had become easy that the Qur’an
          declared: “They ask thee concerning wine and gambling. Say:
          ‘In them is great sin, and some profit, for men; but the sin is
          greater than the profit.’” (Qur’an 2:219)
          This was the first stage. The Qur’an’s approach here has been
          to first seek to show the benefits, or otherwise, of a thing and to make
          it clear that the sin in it would be greater than any benefit that may
          accrue thereof.
          With this verse, the society, now trained in alienating itself from
          sin and in moving along the path of virtue, soon begins to free itself
          from the vice-like grip of intoxicants and gambling. It was then that
          the second verse was revealed: “O ye who believe! Approach not
          prayers in a state of intoxication, until ye can understand all
          that say …” (Qur’an 4:43)
          The prayer constitutes a conservation with the Lord Creator.
          However, many a man approached prayer in a state of intoxication.
          Indeed, the degree of their slavery to intoxicants can be seen from this
          single fact. The Qur’an had then made the second step towards
          achieving the goal of a society that was free of intoxicants. Prayer
          must be made only with the acute awareness of that which is being
          said in the conservation with God; with the mind and heart solemnly
          influenced by that which is being uttered therein. Briefly put, therefore,
          prayer must never be in a state of intoxication.
          With the arrival of the second ruling a good section of those
          conscious of God were freed of their slavery to intoxicating drinks.
          They resolved, thenceforth, that they would, at least, abstain from
          intoxicants during the times of the five daily prayers. It was then that
          the third ruling, which sought to fully abolish all intoxicants, was finally
          revealed.
          “O ye who believe! Intoxicants and gambling, sacrificing
          to stones, and (divination by) arrows, are an abomination – of
          Satan’s handiwork: Eschew such (abomination), that ye may
          prosper. Satan’s plan is (but) to excite enmity and hatred
          between you, with intoxicants and gambling, and hinder you
          from the remembrance of Allah, and from prayer: will ye not
          then abstain?” (Qur’an 5:90,91)
          With the revelation of this verse, the other verses that were
          revealed earlier had now become irrelevant. They were, in fact, verses
          that had been revealed for the creation of an intoxicant-free society
          which were revealed in the two stages of the society’s evolution. It
          can, therefore, be said that with the coming of this verse, the other
          two verses had, for all practical purposes, become abrogated.
          It was mentioned earlier that even this abrogation serves only
          to stress the divine nature of the Qur’an. Prophet Muhammad (e)
          was, himself, never one to take intoxicating drinks even before his
          attainment of prophethood. Even if he were to put forward a law
          against intoxicants which was of his own making, it would have been
          in a fashion that straightaway prohibited all intoxicants forthwith.
          However, it is the Creator who is best aware of the intricacies as well
          as of the methodology of variation of the human mind. It is for that
          same reason that He brought a law into effect stage by stage. When
          such is the implementative process, therefore, it is only natural that the
          laws issued in the earlier stage tend to be abrogated at a later stage.
          This is why it has been said that the Qur’an makes it clear that these
          abrogations are, indeed, from Allah, the Omniscient.

          Add to the above response of al-Rassooli to Baseer: “Allah and his messenger” even got their Mariam’s mixed up.

          How in this world, can anyone with a good sound mind, believe, an all knowing, almighty God, get’s his Mariams mixed up and needs the help of al-Rassooli the set him straight on the matter?

          How can you be so fearful of truth?

    So many western leaders cop the plea that extremists are perverting the Islamic religion, but no one bothers to say just exactly what it is that they are perverting. Seems to me that those who maintain that Islam is a religion of peace are the one who are guilty of perverting it.

    ISLAM DOESN’T MEAN PEACE, IT MEANS SUBMISSION TO ALLAH AND THE VOICE OF ALLAH IS MUHAMMAD A VERY VIOLENT 7TH CENTURY MAN. GOD CHOSE IMPERFECT PEOPLE IN BOTH JUDAISM AND CHRISTIANITY TO BRING HIS MESSAGE SO HE COULD REASSURE US THAT WE DIDN’T HAVE TO BE PERFECT TO BELIEVE IN GOD. BUT JEWS AND CHRISTIANS WORSHIP GOD, NOT HIS HUMAN MESSENGERS. ISLAM WORSHIPS MUHAMMAD THE IMPERFECT MESSENGER AND HAS MADE HIM GOD.

    Hello IQ Al Rassooli, I am an Iraqi as yourself, and I have been studying Islam in detail for sometime now. I have also listened to all of your videos on your website. I was in a debate with a shia muslim on jihad, and he gave me a hadith that I have not done much reading about. So I am wondering if you could give me a a proper response to this Hadith.

    Al-Majlisi, Bihar al-Anwar, vol. 19, p. 182, hadith no. 31

    I tried finding it online and even tried to look for that specific volume but I was unlucky. Please provide me with as much detail as possible. I am doing my best to show my muslim friends the truth because they are in complete denial about there terrorist self proclaimed prophet Muhammad.

      This particular Hadith is a Shia one and a WEAK one at that

      It is IRRELEVANT since according to every verse in Muhammad’s Quran & Sunna, Jihad is Physical WAR and NOT a Spiritual one

      Debating with believers is like talking to the brain dead

      You are wasting your time since you will NEVER convince them even if you drown them with floods of Hadiths proving them WRONG!

      Thank you for asking
