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

UK: Muslim who ‘who advocated dying while fighting jihad’ given platform at London university

Nov 24, 2016 11:54 am By Robert Spencer

In the UK, the government harasses and hounds foes of jihad, and bans foreign ones from entering the country. Jihad preachers, however, have free reign. How can this possibly end well?

“Muslim preacher ‘who advocated dying while fighting jihad’ given platform at London university,” by Mark Chandler and Robin De Peyer, Evening Standard, November 24, 2016:

A preacher who has advocated “dying while fighting jihad” and claimed men can use “physical force” on their wives was given a platform at a London university, the Standard can reveal.

Abdurraheem Green, a Muslim convert from Roman Catholicism who was once banned from Arsenal’s Emirates Stadium for making anti-Semitic comments, preached to students at a SOAS Islamic Society charity event this month.

Green has previously written that conflict between Islam and Western societies is “ordered in the Koran”. He has also claimed: “Dying while fighting jihad is one of the surest ways to paradise and Allah’s good pleasure.”

In 2005 he was barred from boarding a flight to Australia after being placed on a “movement alert list” amid concern over his radical comments.

This month the Islamic Education and Research Academy, a charity he co-founded and chairs, was warned by the Charity Commission to distance itself from extremists. Green has since said he does not support terrorism and acknowledged saying “some radical things in the past”.

During his SOAS University of London address he told the audience that the “whole world is a prison”. Discussing the plight of people in Gaza, he said: “They’re blessed in a way that we’re not blessed, because they’re not deluded.

“They’re not deluded into thinking that there’s some enjoyment in this life. They know the reality. They really know that this world is a prison.”

Green told the Standard that he did not support terrorism and his comments about jihad were years old and related to traditional Islamic teachings.

He said: “Jihad wasn’t a dirty word 20 years ago. Now if you say ‘jihad’ you probably think of terrorism or Isis. I don’t encourage anyone who lives here to go and participate and to go abroad and fight.” The preacher also denied encouraging violence against women and claimed he now only advocated “self-improvement”….

    Why doesn’t this sociopath have the decency to go to Syria or Iraq and attain martyrdom?

      insha alah!!! All Muslims in the West should make the decision to go to Syria, Iraq, Arabia … and form their caliphate.

      This is SOAS, infamous for its support for islamists of all stripes and this is Abduraheem Green, a convert to islam. No surprises there. Also not surprising is that the loudest mouths are correspondingly the least brave. These wretches are good at ranting about it being good for poor fools to die for their allah but have a distinct yellow streak when it comes to setting an example by leading the way and showing the rank and file how it’s done.

      • Oliver says

        Nov 25, 2016 at 2:43 pm

        Babs– it is NOT ONLY Muslims with the loudest mouths being the least brave.

        It is true in the west as well. Soldiers- especially those who had command postions (or saw combat) are usually the least eager to enter into a war- especially one that has political overtones (like, ‘ we cannot do this or that-it would upset the Useless nations, or the people of Pakistan or whatever)).

        Both Bush and Obama fit into this category (in my opinion).

        But, I agree- more Muslims shoudl go to Syria, Iraq, Lebanon ( they can use another civil war); Iran and Pakistan- and fight and die, and kill a few (or more) fellow Muslims in the process.

    • Oliver says

      Nov 24, 2016 at 7:25 pm

      Marty & Eur– THERE ARE ONLY SOMETHING LIKE 103 DIFFERENT GROUPS FIGHTING IN SYRIA.

      These raises a few questions.

      1. How does one, who wishes to fight in Syria decide which group to join? Is there some sort of “ratings” to see the strength; successes and failures so one can compare them?

      2. What about the viewpoints of the 103 groups? Is there some sort of directory- say Group 19 prefers sex with female goats over the age of two; while Group 38 prefers sex with male camels. One has to be careful to join a group with ideas and views are similar to his/her’s.

      3. Which (if any) group(s) offer training and benefits-other than the virgins when martyred?

      I am sure that I can think of other reasons why these pieces of garbage stay in the west, rather then fight for what ( they say) they believe in/want for their country.

        Better to let them go to die there but cancel their citizenship just in case they survive. They would be happier in a Muslim paradise.

        • Oliver says

          Nov 24, 2016 at 9:33 pm

          C. I agree. But how would these anal pores know which group to join. Question.

          My view. Any. Just get killed
          While killing members of a rival group
          Sort of like Hillary Clinton twofers.

          Kill a jihadist from another group and get killed. Each get 72 diseased chickens.

    “Discussing the plight of people in Gaza, he said: “They’re blessed in a way that we’re not blessed, because they’re not deluded.” ”

    Whereas he admits that he is.

    Neither are they poor or starving or deprived except at the hands of Hamas. Gaza ranks equally with Glasgow, in Scotland, in terms of dangers to health from obesity.

    Green is a walking threat to society. He should either have a GPS leg or arm bracelet or be segregated on a government-mandated ‘Devil’s Island’ for known terrorists where he is deprogrammed right out of Islam. This is the only way to remove JIHADISM.

    “Dying while fighting jihad is one of the surest ways to paradise and Allah’s good pleasure.”…….

    Well, Mr. Green, I can assure you that t would be the surest way to MY pleasure as well. Just so long as you keep the pleasure entirely to yourself a long way from the UK, because a lot of us here have other more useful things on the agenda apart from eternal nocturnal athletics with 72 fictitious virgins. And in any case we’re not sure that we’re included in Allah’s invitation to you. So off you go to Syria, and enjoy the sunshine!

    Green has previously written that conflict between Islam and Western societies is “ordered in the Koran”. He has also claimed: “Dying while fighting jihad is one of the surest ways to paradise and Allah’s good pleasure.”

    Ah, so this Green fellow must be some sort of disgusting, notorious “islamophobe”, whose unbridled hatred and resentment of anything islamic only contributes to fan the flames and create terrorist from what would otherwise be upstanding, loyal citizens… /sarc. off

    The United Kingdom= Stockholm Syndrome. They, the people seem to be unable to take any legal alternatives to dump the government that refuses to acknowledge the voices of the Britons who did, after all, vote to leave the EU.
    Now, that vote is being contested, according to reports. If the Brits don’t shed themselves of a EU-infected government, they then are party to self-destruction.
    They too, must “drain the swamp” or that once great nation will have committed suicide.

    It is time to awaken for the well meaning British citizens about the Soudi bad money in their political system. At the same time the original White natives of that ‘Emerald Island’ must take back the charge of their ancestral land, the land of their forefathers. It is the truth of this time of political correctness that the White race is severely discriminated against all over the world. In fact, if there is any racism in today’s world ,it is only against the White race .Moreover,this racist envy and hatred govern the politics of this cursed time,as aided and abetted by the Left cunning and islamic barbarism . These groups are trying incessantly to demean and demonise the White race ,cunningly and conveniently fogetting their great contribution to science and technology , and almost all fields of the current civilisation,of which they are taking every advantage of.
    Whites are a great race indeed ,the vilification of the left’s and islam notwithstanding .
    PC has demonized the White race. The White race must break out of it.
    NOW IS THE TIME !!!!!

I sincerely hope many people here on Jihad Watch will REACT , and that they’ll give you the same advice : JIHAD WATCH is NOT A PLATFORM FOR RACIST/WHITE OR WHAREVER SUPREMACIST DENOMINATION .

    This menace was also invited to address the Financial Ombudsman Service in London. He was also on a panel “Ask a muslim” with other extremists. He was advocating the caliphate and said that the only mistake ISIS made was doing it too soon. This was on the evening of the Paris theater massacre.

    Disgusting but useful in the sense that it helps in understanding the nature of the enemy. Knowledge is power. “The battle is won before it is fought.”

    The speech itself is nothing more than a recruitment drive to lure Muslims into holy war. You really have to wonder about the management of this university and it’s goals. It would be a target of any Muslim government and would be restricted as to what it could teach. Another useful idiot making the decision to give this man a forum.

    “Jihad wasn’t a dirty word 20 years ago?” I beg to differ. It was always a dirty word dating back to the days of the meshugga profit of Islam in the days of Yathrib.

    It always was a dirty word for those on the receiving end, and those who experienced the ‘fanatical frenzy that is more dangerous than rabies in a dog’ will be forever scarred. Don’t tell me about “dirty words”. I know what jihad means. The peace of islam is the peace of the grave.

    The U.K. political establishment is a ‘closed shop’ as far as the treatment of Islam is concerned and hence these repeated double standards. A litmus test of renewed openness and true dialogue will be the lifting of the visa ban against Robert Spencer. This will likely occur, if it occurs at all, within the next calendar year as the stubborn and pervasive fog of the Obama era lifts and the British again find the courage to think their own thoughts about the nature and challenges of Islam.

        I THINK ( have not checked) it was Churchill who said there is a difference between a statesman and a politician.

        A politician thinks ahead to the next election (Rand Paul on the Rep. side is a good example- when he was sworn into the Senate, one of the first things he did was file to create a committee to raise money for his re-election in 6 years); A statesman THINKS AHEAD TO THE NEXT GENERATION.

        Other than (as of now) Bibi N. in Israel, I see no statesmen in postions of power. Perhaps, hopefully, Mr. Trump will be one- even with the media cricizing his every move–even if not important.

      It was Theresa May, as Home Secretary, who denied Robert Spencer entry to the UK.

      Her department misquoted English law by saying he had made statements “that may foster hatred”. The law concerns “statements that foster hatred” NOT statements that MAY foster hatred.

      Perhaps she should be called Theresa May Foster.

    Muslims can never be sure or paradise even Mohammad was unsure upon his deathbed, “have I done enough” the only surety is jihad and killing infidels while dying yourself then you get 72 virgins, which seems odd to me maybe women are unhappy as muslims there surely are mistreated so the “virgin ploy” seems quite suspect.
    Jesus Christ preached love thy neighbor as thyself and love the God pretty simple and no deaths.

    “A muslim convert from Roman Catholicism”
    From bad to worse…..
    Any christian who converts to islam chooses the path of the sword over peace.
    He is rejecting the only one who can save his sorry soul.
    Recently,a Mr Khalid Kelly,an Irish ex-catholic blew himself to pieces for his beloved ISIS and his “allah”.
    It is amazing how these Christ-rejecting converts to the Cult Of Murder expect to go to paradise.
