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

British convert to Islam added to US list of global terrorists for raising funds for al-Qaeda and the Taliban

Apr 1, 2016 2:47 pm By Robert Spencer

Authorities remain completely and doggedly incurious about the phenomenon of conversion to Islam, and why so many converts to Islam get the idea that their new religion wants them to commit treason and murder.

James McLintock

“British man added to US list of ‘global terrorists’ after being suspected of raising funds for Al Qaeda,” by Sam Tonkin, Mailonline, March 31, 2016:

A British man suspected of raising funds for Al Qaeda has been added to a list of global terrorists by the US Treasury.

James Alexander McLintock, who is thought to be 52, is accused along with three other men of raising money for terrorist groups.

Born in Dundee, McLintock said in an interview with The Scotsman in 2004 that he had been a ‘committed Jihadist‘ who fought in Afghanistan and Bosnia.

He told the newspaper he had converted to Islam in his 20s, changed his name to Yaqub McLintock and lived with his family in Pakistan.

McLintock said he started a charity and a news agency in the 1990s to show what was ‘really happening’ in Afghanistan and Pakistan.

The US Treasury said his Pakistan-based Al-Rahmah Welfare Organisation (RWO) is a front that provides money for al Qaida, the Taliban, Lashkar-e-Taiba and other Afghan extremists groups under the guide of helping orphans….

The US Treasury said in a statement: ‘As of early 2013, McLintock recruited Afghan insurgents to obtain photos of children, Afghan identity documents, and cell phone numbers to create falsified dossiers used to obtain donations for RWO, which were funnelled to support al Qaida.

‘As early as 2010, McLintock used RWO and the cover of providing stipends to Afghan orphans to finance the Taliban’s militant activities in Kunar Province, Afghanistan.’

The department said McLintock also regularly met with Taliban and other militant commanders.

McLintock received about £125,000 (180,000 US dollars) from donors in Britain between April 2011 and April 2012 and also received money from charities in the Persian Gulf and the United Kingdom, the US Treasury said.

    No doubt, British intelligence services are aware of the motivations of Islamic terrorists, but the UK’s extreme political correctness prevents them from saying in public what they say to one another in private.

    The discussion of the doctrines of political Islam needs to go public in UK. People need information about the CORE teachings of political Islam which are: 1) the kafir doctrine 2) misogyny 3) supremacism 4) Islam’s apartheid doctrine: al Walaa wal Baraa 5) the taqiyya doctrine 6) the revenge doctrine 7) the vigilantism doctrine 8) the hejira-jihad doctrine 9) theocratic fascism 10) the world conquest doctrine 11) the non-reformability doctrine.

      Yes, by all means, go Public, but tell the truth unlike the whoppers told to the US Public. Right after 9/11, Pres. Bush lied to us about the ” Religion of Peace, & it’s still going on.
      So many of our people went right to work, apologizing to the Muslims in the US, while the Muslims had been cheering during the falling towers.
      No, I would not believe the citizens will do anything, but capitulate, which is what their Government wants.

        Islam appeals to violent men and criminals who like to rape women and little girls, that is why prisons are such ripe recruiting grounds for Muslims.

      From comments made by various people after leaving leadership positions in the various security type services actually, its rather alarming.

      The comments they make show they are completely ignorant of what islam actually teaches.

      They do tackle terrorists plans and disrupt them etc.

      But essentially their complete ignorance is what has helped the islamist agenda in the first place.

      Do you think camercon and co would tell so many lies to help the muslims disguise islam if the security services actually were aware of islams actual teachings?

      I dont.

      So basically we are in the state we are in, in fact, due to the ignorance of the security services, going back a great many years, concerning islam’.

    First, if this Muslim man in the above picture really feels that supporting the Taliban and Al Qaeda is a “good thing” then the more fool him.To be even more specific, the more deluded and confused fool him…Second. those in power in the Untied States Government ,as Obama, and Kerry as well as those in others in power in other Western government are in still strong denial that Al Qaeda and other like-minded jihad terror entities are actually Islamic They must have their religious blinder on. They need to wake up and have a reality check. For this those murderous jihad groups , by they Al Qaeda ,ISIS or the Taliban are based on the Koran which does teaches violence and killing in the jihad for Islam. As seen in For example , 4:89. 5:33. 9:5,111,123. 47:4.Third, about the Koran, or as some call it the Quran .A claim by Islamic scholars as well as jihadists is that no one can produce something as beautiful as the Quran in the way the words are arranged and thus it can only be of God. This claim should be answered.
    First, all someone has to do is examine some of the great works of literature to fine much written beauty. Such as the Greek epic poet Homer with his Iliad and Odyssey and then Virgil who produced the Aeneid has beauty. Even one of the non-Bible books in the Apocrypha called The Song of Three Children is also very beautiful. Thus just because someone sees a work that is written in great beauty doesn’t mean it’s inspired by God.
    Second, the scholar Edward Gibbon wrote after an examination of the Quran that it is an “incoherent jumble of fable and precept and declamation which seldom excites a sentiment or an idea, sometimes craws in the dust and is sometimes lost in the clouds…” The writer Thomas Carlyle wrote the Quran is “A wearisome jumble, crude, incondite [with] endless iterations [and] longwindedness…” Likewise, the philosopher David Hume was NOT favorably impressed after reading the Quran.
    [Source of the three scholars mentioned – Secrets of The Koran: Revealing Insight Into Islam’s Holy Book .56,66, by Don Richardson]

    Furthermore, the following should be taken into consideration.

    Of course the Muslim who reads the Quran will see great beauty in the way the words are arranged. This is, in part, because of the power of suggestion after being told so many times that the Quran is so beautifully written. That’s an old brainwashing method, repeating and being told that same thing again and again. Since he or she is always being told the same lie will end up believing that lie. In addition to that, the Imams try to discourage their people from reading other works, such as the Bible, so then they don’t have much or anything to compare or contrast the Quran with. Of course there are some Muslim’s that do read other works, but they are exceptions and they read other things only after they were already brainwashed by the Imams. In short, the Muslims can’t read the Quran objectively because their Imams have programmed them to have a strong bias towards it.

        No true Scotsman would become a ‘committed jihadist’.

        McClintock is at war against his country and people.

        Muslims must hate their own families if they are not Muslims.

        Sira:Ishaq:455 (At the Battle of Badr)

        As the bodies were thrown into the well, one of the Muslims saw the body of his father thrown in. He said, “My father was a virtuous, wise, kind, and cultured man. I had hoped he would become a Muslim, but he died a kafir. His abode is Hell-fire forever.

        Don’t help the kafirs, don’t support the infidels: (al-walaa wal-baraa)

        Koran 28:86 says, “Therefore lend not thou support in any way to those who reject Allah’s Message.”

        Our Western elites are culpably negligent by refusing to learn the core teachings of political Islam.

          Majority Scots are at war with themselves. They support the SNP. A far left radical party that wants to open the Scottish borders to refugees. On a side note Syrian refugees are now being transplanted to the Outer Hebrides. It’s pretty much game over for the UK.

    $180,000 income received in one year, I wonder if it all went into the jihad or did some line his pockets?

    This 1 hr documentary will cure any guilt trips someone may have about the crusades. It exposes Islam for the conquest ideology it is.
    This next documentary shows how the Bible is historically valid.
    This web site shows a different perspective on Christianity than we are used to in the west and I think is far more accurate. http://www.roccoaerrico.com/index_htm_files/903.png

    These videos need to be shared as widely and rapidly as possible

    I just don’t get it.. why do people convert to this violent cult? We see the same pattern again and again. Westerners deciding to dump the liberal progressive lifestyle and taking on this monster violent faith and then committing terrorist activities. I just don’t get it!
