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

Canada: Imam says “there is no difference between Islamophobes and terrorists”

Apr 30, 2016 8:07 pm By Robert Spencer

Today the imam Syed Soharwardy, who denounced me when I spoke in Calgary Thursday, posted this on his Facebook page:

Soharwardy

Note the bit about how the CIA created the Islamic State, al-Qaeda and the Taliban. But by far the best element of his nifty piece of victimhood propaganda is his claim that “there is no difference between the Islamophobes and the terrorists. Both have more in common than differences.”

The learned imam doesn’t mention it, but in fact there is one slight difference: there have been 28,254 murderous jihad attacks since September 11, 2001. In that span, how many murderous terrorist attacks have been committed by “Islamophobes”? Right: none.

No difference!

This post by Soharwardy is a vivid illustration of the fact that the term “Islamophobia” is designed to intimidate people into thinking it wrong to resist jihad terror.

    Islamophobia is a neologism used to refer to an irrational fear or prejudice towards Muslims and the religion of Islam.

    The term has achieved a degree of linguistic and political acceptance which is utterly at odds with facts and reality.

    Let us firstly deal with the FACTS:
    1 Muhammadan Muslims are the only group on the face of planet Earth who show their anger, their destructiveness, their Hatemongering and their Warmongering on TV, in Print, in their Educational System and in their Speech against ALL other belief systems be they Christian, Buddhist, Jewish, Hindu or Animist

    2 They are the only group who show their manifestations of Hate and Anger while holding their holy book the Quran in one hand and Guns, grenade launchers, swords and daggers with the other.

    3 They are the only group who while demonstrating their hatred and anger shout and call upon the name of their god with their TERROR VERSE “ Allahu Akbar”

    4 They are the only group who in the “name of Allah” slaughter UNARMED and innocent civilians by the sword, suicide bombings, beheadings, blowing up planes, buses, trains etc etc

    5 Of all the acts of terror and AGGRESSION in the world today, Muhammadan Muslims have the pride of being the number one in at least 55 countries in the world on FOUR continents.

    6 Muhammadan Muslim law, called Sharia’, discriminates unreservedly against the following:
    a) All females (even be they the followers of Muhammad
    b) All Unbelievers/ Infidels/ Kuffar such as Christians, Buddhists, Hindus, Jews etc
    c) All Homosexuals
    d) All sects of Muhammadan Muslims who do not follow their methods

    7 Muslims burn and destroy the holy places of other religious groups such as Churches, Buddhist temples, Hindu shrines and synagogues without remorse.

    8 Muhammadan Muslims show nothing but Utter Contempt for the beliefs, property and lives of all those who do not believe as they do

    9 Muhammadan Muslims massacre, mutilate, rape and destroy the lives and holy places of other Muhammadan Muslims who do not follow the same path.

    10 Muhammadan Muslims in the Western Democracies, while hiding behind their Freedoms of Speech and Belief, declare in public, in the media that they intend to turn the Christian Democracies into replicas of their Depraved belief systems

    11 Most Muhammadan Muslims in the world – the so called ‘Silent Majority’ – RARELY demonstrate against these inhumane, depraved and sickening acts and behaviour conducted daily in their name and in the name of ‘Islam’.

    12 One can understand and sympathize with those Muhammadan Muslims who live under Islamic governments and live in fear of being in the opposition, but those who live in Democracies have no excuse whatsoever in showing their disapproval, disgust and anger at those who are allegedly bringing Muhammadan Islam in Disrepute.

    13 It is one of the great ironies of history that it was Muhammad himself who said :
    “SILENCE MEANS CONSENT”, hence the silence of the followers of Muhammad in the West does mean that they CONSENT to what others are committing in their name and in the name of Muhammadan Islam.

    In fact and in reality, they have no choice since those that the media erroneously call ‘Islamic Radicals’ are actually the truest believers in the faith of Muhammadan Islam since they are only following what the Quran itself commands them to do in hundreds upon hundreds of verses:

    To force into Conversion, to Hate, to War, to Subjugate, to Slaughter, to Plunder, to Rape and to Enslave ALL those human beings who do not believe as they do. That is the remaining 80% of Humanity.

    If all the above items which any and all sane human beings are watching on TV, reading in the newspapers or listening to on the Radio DO NOT JUSTIFY being AFRAID of ISLAM, what will?

    Hence Fearing Islam & Muslims is totally RATIONAL while NOT fearing Islam & Muslims would be utterly IRRATIONAL

    Therefore Islamophobia is an Oxymoron; a contradiction of terms

      Hello IQ —- A huge “Thank you” for this comprehensive 13 point post on Islam and REALITY ABOUT IT. PAMELA GELLER essentializes what we see here: “THERE IS NO REASON IN ISLAM” As I have written here on JW several times before, for a devout Muslim the ultimate source is the Trilogy.

      The Argument From Authority is the weakest of all countervails and that is WHAT ISLAM REDUCES TO. Imam Sohawardy’s post omits ANY citations from the Qur’an and sacred texts, hoping his readers are too naïve to know Allah’s commands against non-believers.

        That is WHY very few Muslims (except those who want to be intellectually slaughtered) dare comment here

        Please ALWAYS remember that Muhammad in Medina created the first Organised Crime Syndicate in history and his followers for the last 1400 years continue the same process all over the globe

        We UMMAT al KUFFAR (Nation of Infidels) will prevail because we are 80% of humanity and we are the MOST Productive Inventive Creative & Powerful in human history

    In the post before that one, Imam SoCowardly is challenging Mr. Spencer to a public debate. I guess SoCowardly is either a masochist or has a “Max Abrahms©®™” jetpack prepared for a last-minute getaway. And my money is on option #3 – Imam SoCowardly has no intention of debating Mr. Spencer, otherwise he’d have contacted JW and/or Mr. Spencer directly instead of doing so on his FB page.

          Dear Mr. Spencer, you have likely used this before, but for me one of the best points to make is how islamists are always so “offended” and “persecuted” when they meet resistance to their intended Domination and oppression of infidels, how they are the “victims” when they are prevented from victimizing others, how they face “oppression” in the form of others not letting them have their way to oppress.
          i’m sure you know what i’m trying to say….

    Canada: Imam says “there is no difference between Islamophobes and terrorists”
    ………………………….

    Well, that’s right! “Islamophobes” are enslaving non-believers, beheading their enemies, burning down places of worship along with their parishioners, blowing up priceless artifacts, and stoning rape victims to death, just like terrorists.

    Oh…wait…no, they’re not…

    One of my favorite lines is the accusation that “Islamophobes” are trying to blame Muslims for atrocities carried out by the CIA–in other words, this is the grotesque “Truther” claim that all Jihad terror is actually perpetrated by the United States to ‘make Muslims look bad’.

    Another claims that both “Islamophobes” and Jihad terrorists are funded by “anti-Islam agencies”–in other words, that Jihad has nothing to do with Islam.

    The final line reads, “the only difference between the Islamophobes and the terrorists is that the Islamophobes are the agents of hate and the terrorists are their tools”.

    So–what exactly is he claiming here? That Islamic terror does not really exist? That there is nothing hateful about it? That it has somehow been created by “Islamophobes”?

    Absurd. But this foul Imam just hopes this works as Taqiyya.

    He has some other grimly hilarious stuff on his Facebook page and Twitter feed, including the story about the Muslim shopkeeper in the UK killed for wishing his customers a Happy Easter, without mentioning that it was a pious Muslim who murdered him, and a “scientific” study showing you should not hug your dog. He also compares Donald Trump to Islamic State Caliph Al-Baghdadi, and refers to Trump as the “American ISIS”.

    Remind me again where Mr. Trump has beheaded journalists and aid workers and used women as sex slaves? I must have missed that…

      May 1, 2016 at 1:54 pm

      A Jan. 17, 2004, column written by Soharwardy:
      “Sharia cannot be customized for specific countries. These universal, divine laws are for all people of all countries for all times.”

      from the same column: “I am one of the founding members of the Islamic Institute of Civil Justice. The mandate of the institute is to resolve disputes within existing Canadian laws by using the principles of conflict resolution from Islamic Law, or sharia.”

      From a 2008 meeting with Calgary Herald editorial board: “I never asked to bring sharia in Canada.”

      This is an Islamic taqiyya-muda’rat snake-oil salesman who has been proven to talk out of both sides of his mouth. Even regarding his celebrated “fatwa” against the Islamic State, where he calls them heretics, nothing such a man says can ever be taken at face value. Not when even lying under oath is permitted a Muslim in order to “guard” himself. Taqiyya can be practiced under oath: sura 5:89 “Allah will not call you to account for what is futile in your oaths but He will call you to account for your deliberate oaths”; sura 2:225 “Allah will not call you to account for thoughtlessness in your oaths, but for the intentions of your heart.” There even exists a fatwa allowing a Muslim to insult Muhammad if done for reasons of taqiyya (India, Fatwas of Kadikhan al fur ghani al hanafi 489). So, additional and worse cartoons of Muhammad were added by the Muslims to help whip up murderous hysteria about the Danish cartoons. And that was perfectly acceptable.

      Other statements Soharwardy has tried to walk back (from the Herald article in 2008):
      In 2000 he wrote in his newsletter: “Presently, what Israeli forces are doing to Palestinians is worse than the Holocaust of World War II.” In our meeting (Calgary Herald), he said the above quote was taken out of context, that he has numerous Jewish friends…

      After the 2004 tsunami that killed more than 280,000 people “while Christians from around the world were emptying their wallets to help the victims of this natural disaster, Muslim leaders were blaming the disaster on immoral Christian tourists in their countries. (Soharwardy’s) Jan. 23, 2005, news release said: “ISCC . . . strongly condemns the exploitation of tsunami victims by the Christian missionaries. There have been several reports that the Christian missionaries are kidnapping Muslim children in Indonesia. . . . It is now proven that the Christian missionaries do not help people on humanitarian grounds. They help people in order to exploit their needs and convert them to Christianity.”

      Even though it was mostly “Christian” countries and organizations that came to the aid of these devastated people, these kinds of news releases caused many Indonesian Christians to be attacked and killed, including three Christian school girls who were beheaded by Muslim men.

      Soharwardy explained: “I wanted to use that news to send a message to Muslim governments.”
      In other words, he knew his news release would find its way overseas.

      • Jack Diamond says

        May 1, 2016 at 2:47 pm

        Soharwardy also has a history of posting things on his website that later disappear. Ezra Levant preserved some for posterity: “Soharwardy publishes a rant claiming that Jews want to take over Jordan, Iraq, Syria and even parts of Saudi Arabia, as part of an international Jewish conspiracy, using ”Jewish capital”. The story ends happily for Soharwardy, though. Let me quote: ‘A great slaughter of the Jews will ensue and every one of them will be annihilated. The nation of Jews will be exterminated.’
        {hmm I wonder what Hadith he is not misinterpreting, like Hamas does not misinterpret it, and whether or not it promotes hate, intolerance, killing and genocide, just a little? You know, added in with that deluge of Jew-hatred from the Qur’an itself}

        and this Muslims-replacing (abrogating)-Jews-in-Holocaust victimology sweepstakes: “A new Holocaust may emerge in North America very soon. People are already talking about concentration camps and the Holocaust of more than 10 million Muslims in North America.”

          When the fundamentalist Muslim talks with an infidel it is like talking to dogs and pigs, They feel no ethical and moral need to consider respecting the audience or truth. That is enough but the Koran even requires of them that they use any kind of deceit against the infidel to achieve Islam’s victory of them. They could probably pass a liar’s test since they wouldn’t feel a thing or a moment’s concern about it.

    Apr 30, 2016 at 9:38 pm

    Soharwardy says terrorists and “Islamophobes” “misinterpret” the Qur’an, Hadith, and Islamic jurisprudence.

    Islamic jurisprudence itself is an interpretation of the Qur’an and Hadith. To the on-all-sides besieged professor imam, then, the “Islamophobes” are not only guilty of misinterpreting Islam’s primary sources, they are also guilty of misinterpreting the interpretation of them.

  9. Custos Custodum says

    Apr 30, 2016 at 9:56 pm

    The name “Syed” implies that the bearer is a direct descendant of old Mo himself.

    This is a common conceit among second-class (non-Arab) Muslims in Pakistan. Arabs, of course, are secretly contemptuous of non-Arabs sucking up to their religion which is in considerable part based on Arab supremacism.

    • maghan says

      May 1, 2016 at 6:54 am

      But the Arabs themselves are lazy plagiarizing thieves. Instead of developing their religion out of whole cloth they hijacked portions of Judaism and Christianity and added a set of cruel and primitive Arab customs to imbue it with local color.

      Then the hacker-thieves tried to sell their contraband back to the victimsk. When the victims refused to buy back their own distorted stuff, the conman Muhammad got all huffy and began to rage against all those who refused his illiterate concoction.

      This rage and spite is what permeates Islam making it into a violent, vile anti-human doctrine.

    Apr 30, 2016 at 10:02 pm

    The news tonight was talking about the success of Germany’s AFD party, which is very Islamorealist and has a very unMerkel-like leader.

    They started describing them as far-Right, and finished calling them ‘populist’, as if that was a bad thing.

    It’s easy to see how being anti-muslim and anti-merkel would make them very popular in Germany right now.

        That is such a positive uplifting song.

        Muslims in contrast, give themselves credit for their good deeds and therefore continue to always be enslaved by their own vanity.

      That’s only if they don’t say things like “This man isn’t a scholar, I can’t debate with him on this topic,” and chicken out like the last time.

      It would be awesome to watch Robert take this liar apart, but I bet this debate never happens. It’s much safer for this Imam to simply denounce Robert as a hate monger, with the full support of the MSM, the government, and a pack of “useful idiots.”

      Truth really is the new “hate speech” when it comes to Islam. It really is deeply disturbing that in the supposed “Information Age” the MSM absolutely refuses to make an intellectually honest assessment of mainstream Islamic theology. Much easier to pretend that Islam is too complicated and mysterious for Westerners to understand, that commands to violence against non-believers somehow mean something different than what the words clearly say. Cowardice and betrayal, in a nutshell.

    Prof Imam Syed Soharwardy is definitely not like terrorists or Islamophobes, he’s simply an intentional liar for Islam.

    May he enjoy his strutting hour upon the stage before the non-stop mayhem, committed in Allah’s name, highlights his delusion and awakens Canada. There is no place to hide; even the rocks proclaim, “there is an Islamic mischief maker behind me. Come and film him.”

      I wrote this about him a couple of years ago:

      https://www.jihadwatch.org/2014/06/back-in-canada-iraq-jihad-suicide-bomber-seemed-like-a-regular-guy#comment-1073857

      Soharwardy is just another run-of-the-mill mendacious grievance mongering taqiyya artist. A few years ago he compared the plight of Jews in pre-Second World War Nazi Germany with that of muslims in today’s Canada. Heck, just look at his “genuinely” surprised reaction at 1:19:

      Razzie material there.

      Unfortunately, the account that uploaded the video (Aloha Snackbar) was shut down and I can’t find a copy of it. Anyway, from JW’s archives:

    “there is no difference between Islamophobes and terrorists”

    Terrorists kill non-muslims. Islamophobes kill the the very ideology of islam that makes terrorists kill non-muslims.

      Islamophobes — reveal the Joke called Islam that poses as a religion.

      No wonder Muslims and their (lovers-of-death) ideology lash out with violence.
      They have no honorable defense to offer in support of Muhammad’s foul self-serving claim at receiving revelations.

    False paranoid messages of Soharwardy:

    “Islamophobes and the Terrorists”
    For me there is no difference between the Islamophobes and the terrorists. Both have more in common than differences.
    • Both misquote and misinterpret the verses of Qur’an to justify their hate.
    • Both misinterpret the Hadith (Sayings of Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him)) and Islam’s jurisprudence.
    • Both are intolerant, hateful and self-declared champions on Islam.
    • Both share hate for Muslims and the non-Muslims supporters of Muslims.
    • Both want to Isolate Muslims from the peaceful world.
    • Both stereotype all Muslims and blame Islam for the atrocities carried out by the terrorist organizations created by the CIA, like Daesh (ISIS), AlQaeda, Taliban, etc..
    • Both are funded, supported and trained by the anti-Islam agencies and individuals.
    • Both recruit youth to propagate their causes.
    • Both want to stop the propagation of Islam.

    The only difference between the Islamophobes and the terrorists is that the Islamophobes are the agents of hate and the terrorists are their tools.

    -Imam Syed Soharwardy

    … with paranoid fantasies like these, he doesn’t need enemies. He believes that Islam has nothing to do with Islam.

      When this moron/imam (redundant, I know) was foaming at the mouth and demanding that Ezra Levant be thrown in jail for DARING to ‘offend’ the lie called islam, his efforts were so much less than literate, that it was less than pathetic. He is an utter fraud, in every single aspect of his pathetic mockery of a life.

    The Imam fails to acknowledge a very crucial difference between so called “Islamophobia”,and terrorism, that being that it’s only “Islamophobia”,if it isn’t freaking true ! Sadly, more often than not anti islamic statements are the truth and that is very inconvenient for the practitioners of a doctrine that finds it acceptable and even laudable to promote their “peaceful” religion through violent means,Hence the .”Islamophobia”,label in an effort to silence the truth.

    It is a fact of reality that Western free and Democratic country that allows in a sizable Muslim population into their country is going to have to deal with this Islamic crap, of course everybody speaks and focuses on the terrorist attacks but the biggest threat is actually that our democratic system could be used against us once they have the demographic numbers to do so. In a democratic system the opinions of the people eventually enter the parliament and eventually into the executive they will also be found in the Constitution which is the basis for the democratic system once a country has a sizeable Muslim minority or worst-case even a majority0 then the Constitution will be changed the laws will be changed the political power of the political parties Exedra that sit in Parliament will be changed and the people who run the country in the executive will also be changed this is when a Western free country will become an Islamic I’m therefore not free Nation. It doesn’t matter what we wish it doesn’t matter what we imagine there is only one Islam the Islam of Muhammad the false prophet paedophilethe adulterer rapist the mass murderer and genocidist, you can see what he represented in today’s country known as Saudi Arabia Or in the places that are run by Islamic extremists that is the real uncensored Islam and it is ugly.

    Is it not the moderate muslims who suffer most from islamophobia, as they have the most to fear from islam, being branded as aspostates,

    Why are they so afraid of woman, that they have to subjugate them to their will.

    The religion of fear everything in it is based on fear, fear of leaving, fear of thinking, fear of woman, create fear in the non believers.

    Which brings me to the old saying:-

    FEAR IS THE EVIL AND CORRODING THREAD THAT IS THAT IS WOVEN THROUGH THE FABRIC OF OUR EXISTENCE
