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

Ireland: Muslim cleric who led anti-ISIS demo praises Hamas jihadis

Jul 30, 2015 5:46 pm By Robert Spencer

Muslim antiISIS protestRecently I wrote (here) about a Muslim rally in Ireland against the Islamic State, that drew a grand total of fifty people. It was led by Shaykh Dr. Umar Al-Qadri, who said this about “radical teachings”: “We as Muslims, we must condemn them. We must not remain silent. The Mosques, the Islamic centres, the organisations, we should not ignore these, because these people are like an infection, like a cancer. If you remain silent you will let them come in the Mosque and they will speak to the youth and spread the cancer of extremism to the Muslim youth.”

However, it turns out that Al-Qadri is not quite as vigilant against this “extremism” as many may have assumed. Here is some important information from Mark Humphrys:

Umar Al-Qadri of the Blanchardstown mosque attacks Israel at a protest in Dublin in Jan 2009.
This video was here but was deleted.

  • He has a fanatical hatred of Israel. He calls Hamas “my brothers and sisters”. He says “Hamas loves peace.” But of course reluctantly has to be fanatically violent.
  • He says (at 5 min) that he stands with Hamas in not recognising Israel. No two-state solution here.
  • He claims Israel rapes Muslim women in front of Muslim men: “If you kill our children, rape our women in front of us, in front of our eyes, how can we remain peaceful people?”
  • The crowd chants Islamic war cries during his fanatic speech. An uncovered infidel woman stands by on stage with these religious maniacs as they chant their war cries. This is possibly Freda Hughes.
  • Umar Al-Qadri’s mosque was inaugurated by Minister for Justice Brian Lenihan in January 2008. Did Brian Lenihan ask a single question about Islamic extremism at this mosque? Did it ever cross his mind?
  • Umar Al-Qadri organises demo against ISIS, July 2015. Great. But how does this square with his support for Hamas?

It is remarkable how many “moderates” prove to be anything but when it comes to Israel.

    RTE, Ireland’s official national TV and radio service LOVES Islam and never skips a chance to praise Islam and Muslims at every turn, whilst at the same time denigrating Christians and Christianity. This year’s Ramadan was awash on RTE TV with various programmes pro Islam. Ireland has a relatively small population, but now had at least 60,000 Muslims (many more illegals)….They DEMAND their rights at every turn and appear to get preferential treatment in benefits and housing.

      Yes, they are very pro pallies, they will “enjoy” some taste of jihad sooner or later. Anyways, they are strongly anti-British and almost supported Germany during WWII.

        Here is just one of those RTE programmes. Not one criticism of Islam…all lovey dovey…If you can’t see it because of IP issues…uses Chrome browser and add Hola Better Internet in Google Store…It will give an IP for most countries to watch online TV.

          Thanks for the link.

          Couldn’t watch the whole thing–the lovey dovey aspect made me sick–so don’t know if there was any criticism of Islam in it; but doubt it.

          Those really wonderful Muslims and their brain dead Irish wives may not kill their neighbors for braking the fast–but their coreligionists in the Islamic State do; during that extra swell month of “peace”.

      You’re right and we can ill afford the illegals claiming hand outs from Irish taxpayers via the government and Bimbo’s promoting Islam over RTE1.

    It makes no difference….whatever you say about Islam, the usual suspects will first say “most Muslims are peaceful”…..and “Islam is a Religion of Peace”.

    When you demonstrate this is not so, they then attack Christianity by quoting the Old Testament out of context.

    Despite the fact no Christians of any denomination justify violence against people for not being Christians.

    You get the ” Christians blow up abortion clinics” argument. Well, yes some have, but very few. Hardly the same as the genocide Muslims are wreaking everyday.

    It is hopeless!

    • Brian says

      Jul 30, 2015 at 6:18 pm

      Indeed. Of course many Christians are sidelined by Muslims in those fallacious arguments. Christians follow Jesus Christ who preached love, peace and forgiveness, so any Christian who commits violence in the name of Christianity is anti-Christian. Any Muslim that commits violence in the name of and for Islam is a true Muslim.

      Islam seems to be enjoying the underdog syndrome; it’s smaller, and because we are ignorant of history we assume it’s like any other minority needing some consideration. Big mistake, but it’s being skillfully played by all the advocacy groups like CAIR (scum). Good people don’t want to pick on an underdog, so this can only change with education.

      • Babs says

        Jul 31, 2015 at 10:33 am

        Islam dictates deflection at all costs, and that includes pleading victimisation to fob us all off when it is victimising others. It has that down to a fine art, as the Arab/Muslim proverb tells us:

        ““He strikes me and weeps and then he runs before me weeping and saying that I struck him” –ضربني وبكى وسبقني واشتكى

        Proverbs are often derived from attitudes and beliefs embedded in the culture from which they come.

    When I saw the original article about this topic, I hoped, I really, really hoped, that maybe, just maybe, there were some level heads in Is-la-la-lam finally taking a stand.

    I even tried to point out what I thought were several flawed assumptions made by our side, because you shouldn’t on the basis of a lone photograph.

    And now not a week later I have to backtrack with case of egg on my face/foot in mouth disease.

    And they wonder why we’ve had it with all Islam.

    • Babs says

      Jul 31, 2015 at 10:35 am

      Surely the (lack of) numbers, and the wording of the banner which blamed Muslim barbarism on foreign police, rather than accepting that Islam is to blame must’ve given you a clue?

    This Dr Umar, I am picking this guy is a Shiite and an Iranian, correct me if I’m wrong.

    So he doesn’t like Sunnis for a start, but like other muslims that don’t like ISIS, he is in fact an Islamist, with an aim to conquer the West by stealth. So the noisy hot heads of ISIS are a bit of an irritation as they may “scare the birds”. Dr Umar doesn’t want that at it might upset the carefully laid plans of the Islamists.

    No, its not hopeless. We must use their tactics to refute their TAQIYYA and make them aware we are on to their bullsh*t.
    1. The bible- tell them you’re an atheist and you agree the bible is corrupt- but the koran is EVIL.
    2. “Islam is a Religion of Peace”– Only ONE religion has suicide bombers, car bombers, beheaders…
    Which one is that, oh Muslim??
    3. Peace? As we see every day in Islamic hell-holes; ISIS, Al Qaeda, Boko Haram, Al Shabaab and
    hundreds of other “peace-loving” Muslim jihad groups ??
    4. Here are a few suggestions to post to Muslim apologists—
    http://www.koran-at-a-glance.com/
    http://commentarama.blogspot.co.uk/2011/03/quran-book-of-hate.html
    http://www.answering-islam.org/Quran/Themes/jihad_passages.html
    You will get denials, deflections and outright lies- but that’s what Islam is all about—

    The Qur’an openly states many times that Allah is the ‘best deceiver’. The root word used in these verses is Makr which means deception. Qur’an 3:54; 7:99; 8:30; 10:21; 13:42– if Allah is a liar,
    then a believing Muslim is, too.

    • koran-at-a-glance says

      Jul 31, 2015 at 1:57 pm

      JIMJFOX – I expect you noticed the similarity between the answering-Islam jihad verses and those highlighted in Koran-at-a-glance. It was our basic source (with just a little tinkering around the edges). We thought they would look nice in pink.

    Its hardly unusual in the Irish media and especially on RTE that the fact that the leader of the group not in our mane would support Hamas and ever other terrorist against Israel but not be called up on it . Indeed the name Palestine is always used and not Israel. And as for a Muslim moderate while at lest he is willing to say that there is a problem with Muslim extremism . Some thing that the media don’t wont to know. At he end of the day this Muslim moderate wont’s Israel off the map and probable wont’s sharia how in Ireland.
    And like some one else said on here RTE goes out of its way to say how peaceful Islam is .

    Yep Saudi Airlines now fly direct into Dublin, we have too many mosques. Our cabbies in Dublin hate the ‘bloody’ moslems and especially the Arab so called princes who want to visit every sex venue that has arisen for the benefit of Saudi’s. Aherne got the ball rolling when he sold off The West coast of Ireland’s Oil to Shell Intnl – 60% owned by Saudi Arabia. Four members of the Muslim brotherhood resident in Dublin were held in prison by Egypt after the fall of Morsi!. We ain’t got a problem? We sure have and RTE just promotes the problem. Ireland is so dumb – any enemy of Britain is a friend of Ireland’s., Have the Irish not heard of the grooming gangs of Muslims in UK? How many of our women and children have gone missing in the last ten years? Irish compatriots check out missing persons registered with the Garda you’ll learn something. Stop listening to that blonde middle aged bimbo who delivers our news on regular basis on RTE. The last thing the Emerald Isle needs is another invasion of Barbary Pirates from the Arabian Gulf stealing our green/blue eyed Celtic women with pale skin and long dark lusterous hair. Read the Koran check out the bodies and looks of the 72 Virgins alloted for every martyr!

    “Read the Koran check out the bodies and looks of the 72 Virgins allotted for every martyr!”

    Except that they’re not called martyrs. The original/biblical meaning of martyr means witness. The secondary meaning is someone who is killed for confessing (aka witnessing to) their beliefs. I don’t know the Arabic term for fighters who are killed for a religious cause, but I’m sure it doesn’t mean “witness”.
    Jihad fighters are clearly not killed for their faith, but because they engage in warfare.
