Jihad Watch

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

Hugh Fitzgerald: A Field Day For Fatuity in Fresno

Apr 19, 2017 6:01 pm By Hugh Fitzgerald

“Fresno Muslims, faith leaders call shooter’s ‘Allahu Akbar’ cry a crime against Islam,” by Carmen George, Fresno Bee, April 18, 2017:

Muslim and other faith leaders gathered outside Fresno City Hall Tuesday to denounce a violent shooting spree that killed three people in Fresno and to offer prayers for the families of victims. Later Tuesday, a church group gathered near the shooting scene for a vigil.

A “vigil” not so much on behalf of the victims, but of the Muslims who everyone was so quick to assume were about to be unfairly victimized.

Fresno police reported that the suspect in the shooting, Kori Ali Muhammad, 39, yelled “Ali Akbar” before being arrested. However, a review of Muhammad’s social media shows he’s previously quoted the phrase “Allahu Akbar.” This is a common phrase in Muslim prayers and means “God is the greatest,” said Imam Seyed Ali Ghazvini of the Islamic Cultural Center of Fresno.

Imam Seyed Ali Ghazvini knows perfectly well that “Allabu akbar” means “our (Muslim) God is greater (than your god).”

Ghazvini said his center does not know the suspect, and he was not known at any local mosques. Ghazvini said the words “Allahu Akbar” are commonly used in Muslim prayers to ask God to bring healing and peace, and that using them in association with violence is a crime against Islam.

But “Allahu akbar,” whatever else it has been used by Muslims to express, has for 1400 years also been a terrifying battle cry, shouted by millions of Muslims who, we are now being asked to believe by Seyeed Ali Ghazvini of Fresno, California, were all “committing a crime against Islam” when they shouted “Allahu akbar” before, during, or after battle. How strange that up until the day before yesterday, no Muslims seemed to have realized this, for “Allahu akbar” has been shouted out during and after almost every attack by Muslims on Kuffar. Apparently, those Muslims attacking Infidels all over the globe, in Beijing, Mumbai, Moscow, Stockholm, Berlin, Munich, Amsterdam, Paris, Nice, Madrid, New York, Washington, Fort Hood, San Bernardino (oh fill up the page, printer, with a few hundred or a few thousand other sites of violent Jihad), continue to be unaware of what Imam Seyed Ali Ghazvini wants to convince us is its only legitimate use, which is “to ask God to bring healing and peace.”

“This individual does not represent our faith or our community,” Ghazvini said. “This individual does not represent your Muslim neighbor, your Muslim classmate or your co-worker. The Muslim community in the Valley are working hard for the well-being of our society and country.”

Because, you see, no Muslim would attack, at random, non-Muslims and scream “Allahu akbar” as he did it. Where would anyone get such an idea?

Possibly from here:

Mohamed Atta, in the letter to himself that he left behind, wrote “When the confrontation begins, strike like champions who do not want to go back to this world. Shout, ‘Allahu akbar,’ because this strikes fear in the hearts of the non-believers.”

Or from here:

The Muslim gunmen who burst into the Bataclan nightclub in Paris shouted “Allahu akbar.”

Or from here:

Major Nidal Malik Hassan repeatedly shouted “Allahu akbar” as he slaughtered his fellow soldiers at Fort Hood.

Or from here:

Within just the last few weeks, the Muslim who stabbed people outside the Louvre, shouted “Allahu akbar.”

Or here:

The Muslim who ran people down on Westminster Bridge, in London, shouted “Allahu akbar.”

Or here:

The Muslim who ran people over with a truck in Stockholm yelled “Allahu akbar.”

Or here:

The Muslim who stabbed a Jewish woman to death in Paris was heard shouting “Allahu akbar.”

Or here:

Muslims rampaging in Seville during Good Friday ceremonies “struck terror in the hearts” – caused a panic – among the Catholics celebrating by shouting (can you guess?) “Allahu akbar.”

The war-cry of Allahu akbar is uttered before, or during, an attack, to “strike terror into the hearts of the Unbelievers” or afterwards, to triumphantly declare the murderous mission accomplished.

Around 25 faith leaders – including representatives from several Fresno Muslim centers, interfaith groups, Christian churches and a Jewish temple – gathered to address the shooting during the news conference outside City Hall.

Reza Nekumanesh, director of the Islamic Cultural Center of Fresno, said that the shooter reportedly saying Allahu Akbar “brings pain to our community and truly crushes our hearts and souls.”

The “pain to our community” Reza refers to is that of having damage done to the image of Islam. Still worse a possible result would be if more people began to link attacks by Muslims — the Fresno shooter was a convert, though apparently more motivated by hatred of whites than by hatred of Infidels — to the ideology of Islam itself. Of course, the severest pain of all would be brought to the “Muslim community” if some of those Infidels actually decided to read the Qur’an and the Hadith for themselves, and would then be horrified to discover what they are most definitely not being told by, inter alia, Andy Levine, Reza Nekumanesh, Rabbi Laura Novak Winer, and the inimitable Imam Seyed Ali Rezvini.

“We condemn the acts of the criminal in the strongest terms,” Nekumanesh said, “and stand with our community and city in support and brotherhood … and we call upon our law enforcement agencies and our officials to properly investigate the motives of this man and hold him accountable accordingly.”

If the authorities conclude that among the “motives” of this man were the dictates of the Qur’an, would Reza Nekumaneesh ever be willing to accept that conclusion?

Andy Levine, executive director of the Faith in Fresno, part of Faith in the Valley, said he is standing with, and in support of, the many innocent members of the Muslim community and African American community who are already wrongfully receiving negative backlash because of the deadly shooting.

Might we have a single example offered of the “negative backlash” some Muslims claim they are receiving? Haven’t we been subjected many times before to stories about “hate speech” or other anti-Muslim acts that turned out either to be nonexistent, or committed by Muslims themselves to present themselves as victims?

“Sadly,” Levine said, “there are individuals and forces out there that will and already are using this to divide us and trick us into believing that we are different from one another

Of course, take it on faith from Faith in Fresno’s Mr. Levine, in true Family-of-Man style, that people are the same the whole world over, despite the entire history of the world providing evidence to the contrary.

and that we should be mistrustful of one another

There is no conceivable reason to be mistrustful, is there, of Muslims?

and that we should stay separated from one another.”

So remember: We are not different from, and should not be mistrustful of, one another, nor separate ourselves from one another. Also sprach Mr. Levine. What, then, does he make of one of the most powerful instructions in the history of the world, when it comes to dividing people, separating people, spreading mistrust among them? I am referring, of course, to Qur’an 5:51, the verse that reminds Muslims how very different they are from Jews and Christians, why they should be mistrustful of them, and stay carefully separate from them: “O you who believe! Do not take the Jews and the Christians for friends; they are friends of each other; and whoever amongst you takes them for a friend, then surely he is one of them; surely Allah does not guide the unjust people.” What does Andy Levine, executive director of Faith in Fresno, think of that?

Not to be outdone in run-of-the-mill vacuity, Rabbi Laura Novak Winer of Temple Beth Israel describes Islam as a religion of “peace and justice” and calls on the community (of non-Muslims) to educate themselves about Islam – a religion that “faith leaders estimate is followed by around 1.8 billion people around the world.” Shouldn’t others – say, Ayaan Hirsi Ali or Ibn Warraq or Wafa Sultan – be the ones calling on Rabbi Winer to educate herself about Islam before she expresses such certitudes about “peace and justice,” and even suggest that she pay special attention to Qur’an 9:29 and 9:5 and 8:12 and 5:51 and 98:6? Perhaps then she will refrain from making pronouncements about an assumed definition of “peace and justice” that she appears to believe is shared by Muslims and Unbeliever. She may discover that the Muslim notion of “peace and justice” is the one that descends upon us all when Islam covers the globe, and Muslims rule, everywhere.

“There’s a lot of assumptions made about what Islam is about and what it means to be a Muslim, and those assumptions very often are not true,” Winer said.

Which assumptions about Islam are not true? And who decided that Rabbi Laura Winer knows better than, say, Ayaan Hirsi Ali, about “what it means to be a Muslim”?

We who live in Fresno, in this very diverse and colorful city, have an obligation to understand who each other is

For “to understand one another.”

and what each other stands for.”

For “what others stand for.”

And her conclusion is this:

“Ultimately, we all stand for peace and justice in this world.”

This jejune and empty remark means nothing, for both “peace” and “justice” mean very different things to different people. Each day brings fresh news of Muslims demonstrating their own view of how to attain “peace and justice” as defined in Islam, which requires subjugating the Infidels (that brings “justice,” that assures “peace”), and spreading Islam in every possible way, through both violent and stealth jihad, through Da’wa (the Call to Islam), through demographic conquest, until Islam everywhere dominates, and Muslims rule, everywhere. Even Laura Novak Winer should be able to distinguish this from what Jews and Christians mean by “peace and justice.” Meanwhile, it’s been a field day for fatuity in sunny Fresno, California.

    Ahha, another day another Allahu Akbar jihadi mass murder. The after it’s time for some of that good Interfaith Dialog stuff. Like a few shots of whiskey, the dialog is filled with occlusions and misty visions. But it seems to me that Allahu Akbar is totally clear on what the deal is, what’s going on, why the mass murder.

      The Nazi ‘Sieg heil’ (victory hail) is an exact parallel of ‘Allah akbar’ as a battle cry.

      When Muslims use the Islamic battle cry, they are dedicating their attack to Allah and performing it in the NAME OF ISLAM.

      Their last suicidal act of hatred for dirty kafirs is in the name of Islam.

    Ah, yes, the spectre of ‘negative backlash’ against Muslims is again brought to the fore.

    Let’s just do a quick tally of the types of ‘backlash’ and it’s consequences against Muslims when compared to the innumerable instances of bloodshed perpetrated against ‘unbelievers’.

    There is no comparison.

      • Alarmed Pig Farmer says

        Apr 19, 2017 at 7:59 pm

        Only because such a backlash makes so much sense. The globo-socialists must keep the lid screwed down tight on the freedom thing. They think they’ll be able to deal with the Moslems later. But that one, I’m sure, will be won by the Moslems. Their followers are baked into the pie, more loyal. And they know the agitprop game better even that the globo-socialists, who are getting better at it themselves all the time.

          You can see “backlash” for yourself by looking at pictures of ashura marches by shiites. The ones where they whip themselves bloody.
          Other than that I haven’t got a clue what they are talking about; nor, I fear, have these imbeciles.

          It is just calumny against civilized Infidels. Muslims slaughter unbelievers; Muslims then claim that the real threat is from “Islamophobic” Kuffar.

        • Pumbar says

          Apr 20, 2017 at 7:02 pm

          You know that and so do I, but what are the idiots at this ‘vigil’ talking about when they refer to a ‘backlash’? I can almost guarantee you that none of them could provide concrete figures or facts to back up such a term. It’s just a misty, mysterious meme that they use to show that they don’t blame the muzzie “community”, that they are as dismissive of anyone pointing out the islamic nature of this killing as any muslim is and that they, above all the kuffar, are the ones that have the deep, empathic sharing of hurt that the innocent and doe eyed mahometan automatons are feeling.
          The rabbi, especially, gets it. She knows what it’s like to be a persecuted people, and moslems are now the ‘new Yids on the block’.
          Plus, for some of them it’s a shibboleth to get them into the after gig halal finger buffet.

    Every professing Muslim should go back and read their Koran, or better yet, google violent verses of the Koran. Then, with critical thinking caps on, ask themselves if these verses are true and open-ended for all time? Then, if they don’t agree with the kind of intolerance towards “people of the book” for example that is found in their book, do something to enact change!!!! SPEAK UP!!!! Criticize your faith for heavens sake! But you and I know that to criticize Islam is to invite wrath if you call yourself Muslim. I am so sick of these stupid, vacuous prayer vigils, that as this article states, only serve to put focus on the poor Muslim communities and the “peaceful” religion.

    • C T says

      Apr 20, 2017 at 12:50 pm

      There’s a way out for those who want to be faithful Muslims. Become a Quranist. The ahadith are clearly apostate writings that contradict the Quran in the most important way of all — coercion of faith. Once you leave coercion behind, faith becomes a personal matter of submission. Yes, I know one has to then work hard to interpret other Quranic verses peacefully, but where the overarching concept is that submission must be voluntary, it’s possible to do so by putting the violent parts of the Quran in historical context and keeping them there.
      The one thing that must be hammered on over and over when talking about Islam is how too many versions of it have gone from submission to coercion despite Muhammed saying very clearly that there is to be no coercion in religion in the Quran. Honestly, how can these oppressive versions of Islam even call themselves “a faith” when they support killing anyone born Muslim who wants to leave? There’s no room for faith in that. Freedom of religion doesn’t apply to any ideology that denies the same.
      Killing apostates and reformers (who are viewed as apostates thanks to the Sunni ahadith) naturally gives rise to fear of Islam in all who aren’t listening to the feckless voices of ignorant people who think you can imagine threats away. I love how the rabbi is telling people to educate themselves so they will see that Islam is a religion of peace….I DID read up on Islam, from websites by Islamic scholars, and that showed me that mainstream versions of Islam are anything but peaceful. Has this rabbi the slightest clue what Sunni Islam would do to her people if unchecked?

      • Jack Diamond says

        Apr 20, 2017 at 1:50 pm

        Rubbish. But good luck convincing the true Muslims of the world of your concepts. Or are they just aimed at the kuffar? Muhammad was all about coercion and Islam is nothing but coercion, it means submission, after all, not “freedom of religion”. The Qur’an speaks clear enough on these matters even without the sunnah. Islam is a declaration of war on mankind (start with 9:29) and the doctrine of hate and enmity for the disbelievers is a Qur’anic doctrine. Muslims have been acting on those concepts for fourteen centuries. Your concepts, not so much.

        C T, I’m afraid the Qur’an itself is hideously violent, calling for the slaughter of Infidels until they submit to Islam. Then there is the model of the “Prophet”, which is horrifying, as well.

        Jettisoning the Hadith *might* mean that Muslims would be less likely to stone “adulterous” women to death, since this is only specifically mentioned in the Hadith–but that is about it.

        Never mind that orthodox Muslims also consider rejecting the Hadith apostate, and are willing to murder for it. There are *very* few Qur’an-only Muslims.

    Really, Mr Spenser! Of course ‘Allahu Ackba’ doesn’t mean ‘God is Great’. It means ‘Please come and buy my ice-cream’. This is a common mis-translation. In early arabic the vowels were missed and sentences ran without stops or pauses so sentences were often misunderstood.

    A cry which is a crime against Islam? Really?

    I assert most emphatically that Islam is a crime against humanity. I am now in my 60s and if I a wrong here about Islam being a crime against humanity then I have not learned much in my life. Yes, very little, and so ignore me henceforth.

    But I think, in fact I would vigorously contend in my defense, that I have learned a fair amount to date about life (with due deficiencies aplenty still existing) and thus I maintain that Islam is the worst religion EVER created by man. I would here second gravenimage, who succinctly asserted in her 6:45 P.M. post above, “God, I hate Islam.” No one can do otherwise, again I would contend, who appreciates just how fragile freedom is since Islam is an eternal enemy of freedom——–and one knows this or should know it and all those arguing otherwise are culpable of either significant mendacity or enormous ignorance.

    If Islam is a good thing for humanity, then my life has been mostly not well lived. But I think it has been mostly well lived, with due errors aplenty, especially in my youth, which was long ago, and when I was wont to violate local community norms and mores I now see the wisdom of, but, notwithstanding and excuse this digression, if I know anything I know that Islam is an aberration of the first dimension. A monumental and catastrophic error which mankind is paying for to this vey day.

    Let me put it another way: Islam is putrid. And should Islam be the true faith (which I would bet my life on that it is not and may the all powerful Allah strike me dead tonight if it is the true faith), then this is, as I have asserted, a very creepy universe and God is a jerk.

    But I don’t think that if God exists that God is a jerk. Therefore, assuming I am correct here, and pursuant to Aristotelian logic, consequently Islam cannot possibly be the true religion. Bet my life on it. Again, may Allah strike me dead tonight if I am wrong (N.B., any of his deluded followers doing so “does not count”——–no, Allah, whom I have long contended was Mohammed’s hand puppet, must do me in).

    See you, so many of you, tomorrow. Count on it. It’s a good bet, you know. The odds are favorable. Easily so since Islam is the fraud of frauds of all time..

      Islam is the result of one man with a mental aberration. The man wanted power and wealth and followers. He was used by The Father of Lies to combine religious concepts with principles of totalitarianism and barbarism. Some of the teachings, because they appeal to the debauched nature of sinful man, found an enthusiastic following. Sadly, the oppression, poverty, ignorance, disease, and all kinds of violence have spread.

      In our age, my hope is that mohammedanism will hang itself on its own rope. My hope is that by choosing to attack the West, mohammedans will come in contact with another way of life, and that the thinking ones will question their upbringing and beliefs. I think there will be much suffering as islam is confronted with the outside world.

      I also believe that the universe is sustained by love. Mohammedanism is a system of hatred. Its author, Satan, is holding on by frightening people into leaving the devilish “religion” alone. For the love of our children and grandchildren, we must rise to the occasion and let this be our “finest hour”. Learn why we will not submit – learn our fate if we allow circumstances to deteriorate – support those who suffer under islam.

        There are 1.7 billion Muslims. For your optimistic idea above to happen, how many would have to discover and admit that someone else’s way of life is better, despite lifelong Islamic brainwashing?

        Perhaps more to the point, how many have to stick to their brainwashing to take the West down?

      It literally tells men to beat their wives if they “fear arrogance from them.” How in the world have feminists, who can’t watch a Disney cartoon without getting angry because of perceived failures to promote their agenda fully, not piled on the teachings of Muhammed yet?

      Apr 20, 2017 at 3:53 pm

      Nice post, Wellington, but–

      “May Allah strike me dead” (and it doesn’t count if one of the deluded followers does it).

      While I sympathize, it does remind me of a Christian joke told and tittered at by the devout.

      A man falls off a ship in the middle of the ocean. He knows he’ll drown, and prays, “God, please save me!”

      Before too long, a fishing smack comes along. On deck, someone cries out, “Look! There’s someone in the water, and he’s too far from land to survive long! Throw him a rope!”

      A rope’s end lands in the water near the struggling man, but he calls to the fishermen, “I’m sorry, but God himself will save me!”

      Flabbergasted, the fishing boat sails on. Next, a Freighter comes along. A sailor on board cries out, “Man overboard! Throw him s a rope lest he drown!”

      Again, the drowning man protests that it’s God who’ll save him.

      Finally, the US Coast Guard comes sailing along, They’re no nonsense, lower a boat, and a few burly Coast Guardsmen pull the man out of the water. Unfortunately, he’s too worn out, and hypothermia and a weakened heart kick in, and he dies on the deck of the Coast Guard ship.

      In Heaven, the man complains to God. “I believed you would save me from the Ocean! What happened?”

      God says, “First, I sent a fishing boat, then a freighter, and finally, the non-nonsense US Coast Guard, but by then, it was too late. What more could you want?”

      Frankly, I don’t know what the Islamic doctrine of providence is. But we Christians believe that if God can use a pagan Assyrian king to punish rebellious Israel and Judah, he can use just about anybody for whatever his purposes are.

      Then again, our Christian joke is about trying to save a life rather than snuff one out.

    I HATE Mohammad (pus be upon him). Islam was born because of this vile man.

      Mohammed was not the sharpest pencil in the box; he had help from someone a lot smarter and better informed, likely than any living person at that time.

      That entity that created a system which would plunder parts of the world for 1,400 years, and finally come to endanger the whole world, would have formed Islam (by whatever name) whether Mohammed or some other servant of evil was the middleman.

      Also, Islam would not have succeeded without tens of millions of willing criminals and would-be criminals supporting it. So there are 1.7 billion LIVING people to concentrate on!

    Imam Seyed Ali Ghazvini is not the only Muslim who tries to deceive non-Believers about the meaning of Allahu Akbar. Asma Afsaruddin Professor of Islamic studies in the School of Global and International Studies, Indiana University, Bloomington, .said that Allahu Akbar translates to ‘God is great,’ and is used to show appreciation when something good happens in life: see Ask A Muslim, .http://the1a.org/shows/2017-03-15/ask-a-muslim.

    It is impossible to commit a crime against a crime.

    islam is a huge, evil, ugly crime against all mankind…men, women and children of all ages, all colors, from all nations and languages on earth.

    islam is the crime and moslims keep on committing it.

    When a death happens, there is a *cause* and a *manner.* (cause: accident, suicide, illness/disease, homicide, undeterminded) {manner: strangle, shot, stabbed, natural causes, fall, etc.)

    These cases are different.

    islam is the *cause* and the *manner* are the moslims who stab, shoot, bomb, behead, drop in acid, burn, hang, drown, strangle, and in any other way…normally called the manner

    islam is the crime. It is not possible to commit a criminal act against a crime.

    “When Allah’s Apostle fought or raided people we raised our voices saying ‘Allahu Akbar! Allahu Akbar!’
    None has the right to be worshipped but Allah.” (Bukhari v5bk59n516)

    Narrated Anas: The Prophet set out for Khaibar and reached it at night. He used not to attack if he reached the people at night, till the day broke. So, when the day dawned, the Jews came out with their bags and spades. When they saw the Prophet; they said, “Muhammad and his army!” The Prophet said, Allahu–Akbar! (Allah is Greater) and Khaibar is ruined, for whenever we approach a nation (i.e. enemy to fight) then it will be a miserable morning for those who have been warned.”
    (Sahih Bukhari 4:52:195)

    kebir is “great” akbar is “greater.” ilah is “God” and Allah a proper name; and why is Muhammad telling the Jews of Khaibar that Islam’s Allah is greater than their God if they worship the same deity?

    “Allah’s Apostle said ‘I have been made victorious with terror (cast in the hearts of the enemy)” (Bukhari v4bk52n220)

    “God (allah) casts terror into the hearts of the unbelievers.” Q 3:151
    “God (allah) sends signs by way of terror.” Q 17:59
    “Unbelievers are made to quake from terror.” Q 34:51

    SAHIH BUKHARI VOL-IV (88) CHAPTER.

    Narrated Ibn ‘Umar that the Prophet (SA) said, “My livelihood is under the shade of my spear,(1) and he who disobeys my orders will be humiliated by paying Jizya”

    Footnote:- (1) “Under the shade of my spear” means “from war booty”.

    >My livelihood comes from war booty, i.e. Muhammad, seal of the prophets, earns his living from terror and plunder (theft).

    “Ghazvini said the words “Allahu Akbar” are commonly used in Muslim prayers to ask God to bring healing and peace, and that using them in association with violence is a crime against Islam.”

    Which would make Muhammad a criminal.
    Remember the ruling on one who would insult the prophet, Imam?

    Indeed, what about the victims? Why do we almost exclusively hear about the perpetrator (accurately or not), with almost no mention of the completely innocent victims, other than the raw body count. The reporting is callous and cold hearted.

    But then there is extensive coverage of the hypothetical and hasn’t-yet-happened “backlash” that the poor little Muslims are so worried about. Makes me want to puke.

    The media has it’s head up it’s ass on this subject, as do the majority of average Americans.

    Get your concealed carry permit and a Glock. Put a Mossberg 500 or an AR-15 in your car.

    The more Christians who do this, the less Jihad. We have at least 1/2 dozen armed people at every one of our worship services now, including our Pastor.

    Look at the IDF, they hit you, you hit them back harder

    The warcry ‘Allah akbar’ began as misogyny.

    In 624AD, at the battle of ‘Uhud’, the war cry of the Qurayshites was, “O people of Uzzā, people of Hubal!”

    Al-‘Uzzá was also called ‘Chabar’ (the great) or ‘Allat-al-Chabra’. Mohammed using a pun, twisted this into ‘Allahu Akbar’, meaning ‘Allah is greater than Allat’. Uzza was the Arabian ‘Venus’ or Morning Star. Her husband was the Lord of the Kaaba, the Arabian war god Hubal or

    John of Damascus (c. 675 or 676 – 4 December 749 ) described the Saracens in the early 8th century :

    There is also the people-deceiving cult (threskeia) of the Ishmaelites, the forerunner of the Antichrist, which prevails until now. It derives from Ishmael, who was born to Abraham from Hagar, wherefore they are called Hagarenes and Ishmaelites. And they call them Saracens, inasmuch as they were [sent away] empty-handed through Sarah (ek tes Sarraskenous); for it was said by Hagar to the angel : “Sarah has sent me away empty-handed” (cf. Genesis xxi. 10, 14). John of Damascus wrote in the early 700s: “These, then, were idolaters and worshippers of the morning star and Aphrodite whom in fact they called Akbar (Chabar-Choberra) in their own language, which means “great” (actually ‘the greatest’). So until the times of Heraclius they were plain idolaters. From that time till now a false prophet appeared among them, surnamed Muhammad (Mamed), who, having happened upon the Old and the New Testament and apparently having conversed, in like manner, with an Arian monk, put together his own heresy. And after ingratiating himself with the people by a pretence of piety, he spread rumours of a scripture (graphe) brought down to him from heaven. So, having drafted some ludicrous doctrines in his book, he handed over to them this form of worship (to sebas).É

        The Bible says that Abraham was “God’s friend.”

        You could show a little respect for someone who had nothing to do with islam, but through whom all may receive a blessing.

    “Allahu Akbar” has been used historically by Muslims as a battle cry during war. This precedent was set by Mohammed when he attacked the Jews of Khaibar. Mohammed also used it when he learned of assassinations of his verbal critics.

    We hear this battle cry frequently in the news reports wherever their are Islamic insurgents. This is the Islamic war cry.

    MESSAGE TO 25 FATUOUS INTERFAITH LEADERS:

    The 164 jihad verses in the Koran ABROGATE (annul) ALL the conciliatory, tolerant verses in the Koran.

    This doctrine called ‘NASK’ (abrogation) is canonical Islam. Look it up. Learn about the CORE VALUES of Islam : AL WALAA WAL BARAA (loyalty to Muslims and hatred towards kafirs).

    • Jeanette says

      Apr 20, 2017 at 10:11 am

      I think one of the greatest dangers to the West is that so many people REFUSE to inform themselves about Islam.

    Imam Seyed Ali Ghazvini knows perfectly well that “Allabu akbar” means “our (Muslim) God is greater (than your god).”

    Never give up the fight, Hugh. Your superb eloquence remains without match in the counterjihad.
