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

UK: Muslim who condemned Paris jihad attacks gets death threats from UK-born Muslims who support the Islamic State

Nov 23, 2015 9:04 am By Robert Spencer

Here is yet another episode in our never-ending series, Why We Don’t See More Sincere Muslim Reformers.

Mufassil Islam

“Muslim scholar who posted YouTube speech condemning Paris atrocities reveals he has received death threats from British-born children who support ISIS,” by Flora Drury, Mailonline, November 22, 2015:

The Muslim scholar who made an impassioned speech condemning the Paris attacks on YouTube has received death threats from ISIS’ online supporters.

In the three minute video, which has been seen by tens of thousands of people, Mufassil Islam, 49, said: ‘If you don’t like this country, why the f*** did you come?’

He has now told MailOnline that he is being threatened by British youngsters.

Mr Islam said: ‘I am getting death threats from British kids… British Bangladeshi kids, or Asian kids, they are born and bred here. They support ISIS.’

The lawyer turned academic, who has lived in Britain on and off for more than 22 years, spoke out after the terrorist attacks in Paris left 130 people dead, and says he will continue to do so despite threats on his life.

The father of two from Belfast, who is a devout Muslim, was praised after speaking out against extremism and the radicalisation he believes is creeping into mosques and communities across Britain.

He told MailOnline that unless something is done soon, it may be too late to save young Muslims from the path to extremism.

He said: ‘It has spread so much and so far – if you do not challenge it, it will be a point of no return. This is a virus, and the virus is dangerous now.

‘The British government have no clue what is going on. I’ve written letters [warning them], but there is no response. I feel like I am banging my head against a brick wall.’…

    Muslims are special.
    It is very easy for non-Muslims to fall in the trap of being judgmental toward Muslims who butcher children with shameless bloodlust. We are shocked when they even slice and dice their own children.
    But, we must not be religiously insensitive with followers of Islam.

    We so easily overlook that a Muslim is required to pray each day and fast during Ramadan in order to earn the right to have feelings of such moral superiority over others.

    “Prophet” Muhammad himself had a name for Muslims like Mufassil – he called them “hypocrites” – people who want to call themselves Muslims, yet somehow can’t bother to kill and be killed in the cause of Allah, or even support the good and proper Muslims who are eager to kill and be killed. If Mufassil doesn’t like immigrants who become jihadists, what the f*** is he doing in Islam?

      Indeed. That is the heart of the problem. This quaint, ‘cultural identity’ is quickly becoming meaningless during the Islamic Reformation that is insisting that Muslims get back to ‘basics”, i.e. killing and torturing the non-Muslims and taking over territory.

      He really would be well served to convert to Church of England.

      Wasn’t there an idea floating around that moderate Muslims are not being forthcoming with admonishments and condemnations of the fundamentalists – that they are silently approving the massacres and attacks on non-believers ?

      Now here is a brave fellow who dared to speak up ( with the same effing vocabulary as that Muslim Mayor of Rotterdam ) but he is not protected from threats and persecution from his brethren. If there is no legislation in place to criminalize religious death sentences against apostacy , who in his right mind would be willing to speak out ? The biggest hypocrites are the western lawmakers who are helping to enforce sharia law without any consideration for their own secular foundations.

      More Moslem tricks. Don’t fall for this Moslem propaganda. This has been part of Moslam jihad for 1,400 years, The ‘good guy’ ‘bad guy’ con trick. Islam is pure evil and will do anything to subjugate non-Moslems. Bo decent human being would be a Muslim or a Nazi.

    There are huge numbers of such people – Muslims who are much better people than Mohammed, essentially.

    We now know one of the big reasons why we never hear from them: the extremists are running the show.

    I know one such person, a female, who while being a very devout Muslim (according to her own interpretation, an interpretation which I do *not* have a problem with… probably because it has “nothing to do with Islam” :-)), goes out of her way not to be identified as such, and trust me, it’s not out of fear of “regular” people. By way of example, she wears a hippy-looking bonnet thing over her head, instead of a traditional veil. (Come to think of it, she looks – and behaves – largely like a Modern Orthodox Jew.) She also likes to poke fun at Islamists, for being backwards and so on. Somehow, she personally has reconciled the Western world and Islam. Sadly, this seems to be quite a rare phenomenon, albeit one that we should encourage, as it is a possible way out of the mess that we are in now.

    I doubt very much that she would say these things in public, however. If nothing else, stories such as the above serve as the necessary warnings.

      Islam is like a “language accent” for the vast majority of people born into Muslim cultures. They just cannot stop being Muslims–despite their personal opposition to Muslim cruelties and evil. Even if you prove to them that Muhammad was a murderer who snatched up the wives and daughters of murdered men just for his own pleasure–they will still name their sons Muhammad and get angry if you say the truth about their Prophet.

      Just as there are people who cannot erase the accents of their first language, so too there are Muslims who cannot shake off being Muslims. And even those who shake it off for a while, talways return home to Islam–as in the case of the violent killers of innocents in that Paris Bataclava concert.

    “it may be too late to save young Muslims from the path to extremism.”
    This sounds so worthy and convincing, but what exactly is “extremism”?
    The UK government has defined what it understands by “extremism”.
    Point by point it is indistinguishable from Islam.
    See “Extremism: “There Is a Problem Within Islam” at LibertyGB:

    Not surprising – I would expect that from the holy pious Muslims which every Muslim becomes all the time.
    That’s when their inner jihad or sudden jihad syndrome wakes up!!

    Once again the issue is one of violence, not da’wa, not changing laws on free speech “through the legal system” as the OIC attempts, not the hostile and incompatible belief system embraced by any “devout Muslim.” The problem with this intramural argument is a) those in favor of violence or imposing Islam
    tend to have the best arguments per the Qur’an and Sunna (as witnessed by the lack of widespread support thus far for men like Mufassil, let alone someone like the murdered Farag Foda, a Muslim advocate for secular society and western human rights) b) simply, those in favor of violence threaten or kill those who oppose it and silence them (see, Farag Foda, Mohammad Taha). The problem with Mufassil saying Muslims have no right to kill those who insult the prophet (at least in dar al-harb) is that the consensus of Islamic scholars says otherwise. Similar problems arise from the obligations on Muslims in kaffir lands to “remove the obstacles” to the spread of Islam, and from a situation where the kaffirs are considered waging war against Muslims and Muslims victimized by them at every turn.

    So, Mufasil calls on Muslims to act decently while in non-Muslim lands and obey their laws or fuck off and leave the country. Of course–every non-Muslim anyway–wants to hear this from Muslims, and that they at least are appalled or sickened by the violence and specifically the murder of non-Muslims. That’s how low our expectations have gotten. Happy for breadcrumbs.

    Aww.

    The problem is that we just don’t understand the poor little sad confused precious delicate snowflakes.

    One of us needs to volunteer to go take them some candy, ice cream, puppies, popcorn, unicorns, rainbows and sugar sprinkles, and give them backrubs and pony rides ’cause, ya know, we aren’t allowed to regard them with suspicion, defend ourselves against them, call them out on their teeny tiny misdeeds, etc.

    It’s all about peace love understanding candles and flowers for everyone all around, don’t you know?!

    “Why the f*** did you come?”
    To take over of course, what sort of a Muslim doesn’t know that?
    “… he believes is creeping into mosques…”
    It has been there since the first mosque was conceived of, and as if mosques were always an integral part of the UK. Whether a muslim is a saint or a demon, a muslim is a muslim is a muslim.
    They have been mind bent that way, it’s as deep as morality with muslims, their religion that is.
    How often does a muslim quote the Qur’an- to back up what he says? Only a muslim who is in the overt stage of jihad.
    There’s more bull than truth spoken about Islam, unless a terrorist muslim is quoting it in order to reinforce moral.

    How can a man who admires Mohammed say that jihad is wrong?

    Mohammed committed or commanded violence every six weeks in the last 9 years of his life. Jihad is Mohammed’s method to remove human rights and civil liberties from women and ‘others’ and make Muslim males supreme.

    By claiming that imitators of Mohammed are immoral, he is criticizing the actions of Mohammed the exemplar of all Muslims.

    He is blaspheming Mohammed.

    “He told MailOnline that unless something is done soon, it may be too late to save young Muslims from the path to extremism.”

    I have repeatedly said in this forum that RADICAL ISLAMIC CHIC IS PREVALENT AMONG MUSLIM YOUTH.

    No one gets it. Islamic study groups and RADICAL ISLAMIC CHIC are radicalizing the youth. THEY HATE THE WEST AND WISH TO DESTROY IT. They live and move among us. They are a time bomb.

      ADVICE FROM MUSLIM
      When I was talking by phone about the Paris attack with a Muslim friend in the Sudan, he said, exasperated, that we should stop letting foreigners into our countries.
      Pretty sensible advice, don’t you think?

  14. allahbullah says

    Nov 23, 2015 at 8:31 pm

    ‘From the full transcript of his video (source: the mail online article)

    —————++++++++++++——————

    “What does your religion, our religion, my religion Islam teach us? Islam teaches you to be tolerant and to respect other people’s faiths.

    ‘But if their views do not respect what are you going to do, go and shoot in this 21st century?

    ————++-++++++———

    It’s very easy to call his bluff. A couple of sentences into his expletive laden muse he switches to the canard of Muslim victimhood. Notice he says ” But if their views don’t respect ” What he means is, “even though you are justified in your jihadi activities, don’t do it.” He is in effect judging the victim at the same time appearing to be pontificating for Islamic peace. Their deceit knows no bounds.

    Well, at least I give Mufassil Islam a thumbs-up for trying. Unfortunately, he’ll be lucky if he doesn’t get killed by his fellow “peace-loving” Muslims. If he really wants peace, Mufassil should probably consider leaving Islam permanently, though of course he’d have to change his name and go into hiding since he’d be committing “blasphemy” which is punishable by death.

    Islam is just so cuddly, isn’t it?

    In the three minute video, which has been seen by tens of thousands of people, Mufassil Islam, 49, said: ‘If you don’t like this country, why the f*** did you come?’

    “One day, millions of men will leave the Southern Hemisphere to go to the Northern Hemisphere. And they will not go there as friends. Because they will go there to conquer it. And they will conquer it with their sons. The wombs of our women will give us victory.”

    Houari Boumedienne, president of Algeria, 1974
