Ireland: Judge jails Muslim for funding the Islamic State, warns against “Islamophobia”

Jul 5, 2018 1:29 pm By Robert Spencer

“In his comments, he also said the overwhelming majority of Muslims in Ireland do not support such radical ideologies as IS and stressed that the rise of Islamophobia should have no place in society.”

How does he know that the overwhelming majority of Muslims in Ireland do not support such radical ideologies? He doesn’t. He just hopes it is true, and assumes it is true, because contemplating the alternative is too terrifying for him.

He also “stressed that the rise of Islamophobia should have no place in society.”

Did he distinguish between “Islamophobia” as referring to vigilante attacks on innocent Muslims, which are never justified, and “Islamophobia” as honest analysis of how Islamic jihadis use the texts and teachings of Islam to justify violence and make recruits among peaceful Muslims? He did not, and so his warning is likely to inhibit the latter, rather than the former.

“Irish man jailed for providing funding for so-called Islamic State,” by Damien Tiernan, RTE, July 5, 2018 (thanks to Anne):

An Irish man has been sentenced to two-and-a-half years in prison for providing funding for the so-called Islamic State.

26-year-old Hasan Bal, formerly living at an address at O’Connell Street in Waterford, was sentenced at Waterford Circuit Court this afternoon.

Bal had pleaded guilty to two separate terrorist-related offences when he was arraigned on the charges at a previous sitting before Judge Eugene O’Kelly.

Bal first pleaded guilty to unlawfully transferring €400 by means of an An Post/Western Union to Stevo Maksimovic in the city of Brako in Bosnia Herzegovinia on 2 October 2015.

The court heard he did this intending or knowing that the money would be used in whole or in part for the benefit of the terrorist group, also known as Daesh….

The court heard evidence from Superintendent Anthony Pettit that through another Islamic State member based in Syria, Abu Issa Amriki, contact was made between the journalist and a person the court was told was a ‘brother who was a fundraiser in the UK’.

This was Hasan Bal, who was operating out of Waterford and using a false online name….

The court heard that Bal had made an attempt in April 2015 to travel to Syria to be part of IS there but was turned back at Istanbul airport in Turkey….

Supt Pettit said that the people Bal had been in contact with were medium to high level members of IS.

Bal was born in Britain to a Turkish father and a mother of Irish descent. He came to Ireland in 2005 and his parents separated. The court heard how he became radicalised out of guilt that he was not living a strict Muslim life and his anger at what was happening in Syria.

His defence said Bal was extremely sorry for what he had done; that he was very remorseful; that he regretted what he had done; that he has now been deradicalised and was asking the judge for mercy.

The court heard that there is no Jihadi group in Waterford and the Muslim community in the city had no idea what was going on….

Judge O’Kelly said Bal had secured the confidence of significant members of IS but he said there were a number of mitigating factors, including his guilty plea, lack of prior convictions and his commitment to changing his ways.

Judge O’Kelly gave Bal, a father-of-one, a four-and-a-half year sentence but suspended the final two years and the sentence was backdated to April 2017 when he was first taken into custody.

In sentencing, Judge O’Kelly said that people are well aware of the escalation of acts of terror around the world and that a few hundred euros in the hands of a ruthless and dedicated terrorist could be used to deadly effect.

He said he was taking into account aggravating and mitigating factors in relation to the sentence.

In his comments, he also said the overwhelming majority of Muslims in Ireland do not support such radical ideologies as IS and stressed that the rise of Islamophobia should have no place in society….

The judge also made it a condition of suspending part of the sentence that Bal engage in deradicalisation counselling by experts in the field….

        To Judge Eugene O’Kelly believes it is relevant that ‘most’ Muslims dislike terrorism?

        To Judge Eugene O’Kelly I ask: ‘WHAT DOES IT MATTER WHAT MUSLIMS THINK?’, because the Koran says otherwise!

        The Koran clearly says that ‘FIGHTING (in jihad) is PRESCRIBED FOR YOU (by Allah)… even if you dislike it!’

        You see, Your Honour, ALLAH DOES NOT CARE WHAT MUSLIMS THINK. They must conduct jihad, because ALLAH … the ultimate judge … has decided and decreed that.

        IS ‘ISLAMOPHOBIA’ the problem or ‘TERRORISM’? Surely, that is easy to answer.

        Moreover, TERRORISM is part of jihad. ‘TURHIBUNNA’ … terrorise them. Koran 8.60.

          Rob, we have a fairly good idea what Muslims believe, because they tell us time and again in ANONYMOUS telephone surveys that they support Sharia law (65%) and a caliphate (65%). However, only about 15% support terrorist groups which is well over 250 MILLION.

          HALF of those Muslims in UK supported ISIS. That should be similar in Ireland.

        ‘Islamophobia’ is a portmanteau word that contradicts itself and which condemns verbal opposition to the POLITICAL IDEOLOGY of POLITICAL ISLAM.

    There would be no “Islamophobia”, and the word would not even have been created, if Muslims across the planet behaved like civilised beings and co-existed peacefully not only with “non-believers”, but with each other.

    And why would those non-Muslims NOT experience “Islamophobia” – a fear of Islam –when every day, in every corner of the globe, they see atrocities carried out against innocent people in the name of the “religion”? No wonder they are afraid, suspicious, and angry.

      Islam instructs muslims to make the kuffar fear them:
      “Terrorise them………..strike terror into their hearts”.

  10. DHazard says

    Jul 5, 2018 at 2:56 pm

    It’s kind of like the Miranda warnings; the Muslim “qualifier”. It has different variations but mostly it occurs after a Muslim acts like Muhammad. It is issued by non-Muslims to other non-Muslims who might think the criminal is actually following Islam and only works for people who are already blind and deaf to the reality of jihad. Generally it goes something like “these are not the actions of a true Muslim”. So we have a non-Muslim public figure, who knows little about Islam, making a sweeping conclusion that, if negative, would have drawn accusations of Islamophobia.

  11. PATRICIA FRANCES KOENIG says

    Jul 5, 2018 at 3:03 pm

    Another type of healthy “Islamophobia” is the fear of Muslims out-voting non-Muslims in democratic nations and voting in Sharia Law and/or voting in Muslim mayors (London) and Prime Ministers (Canada).

      Reliance of the Traveller O9.1 “Jihad is a communal obligation,” meaning obligatory upon the Muslims each year.

      O9.8: The Objectives of Jihad
      The caliph (o25) makes war upon Jews, Christians, and Zoroastrians…

      O9.9
      The caliph fights all other peoples until they become Muslim (O: because they are not a people with a Book…

      Koran said:

      2:216 Fighting is prescribed for you though you dislike it.” (Muslims who don’t like jihad are condemned by Allah.)

      8:39. And fight them until there is no more Fitnah (disbelief and polytheism: i.e. worshipping others besides Allâh) and the religion (worship) will all be for Allâh Alone [in the whole of the world ]….

      9:29.Fight against those who (1) believe not in Allâh, (2) nor in the Last Day, (3) nor forbid that which has been forbidden by Allâh and His Messenger (4) and those who acknowledge not the religion of truth (i.e. Islâm) among the people of the Scripture (Jews and Christians), until they pay the Jizyah with willing submission, and feel themselves subdued.

      Muhammad said:
      “I have been ordered to fight the people till they say: ‘None has the right to be worshipped but Allah.’ And if they say so, pray like our prayers, face our Qibla and slaughter as we slaughter, then their blood and property will be sacred to us and we will not interfere with them except legally and their reckoning will be with Allah.” Sahih Bukhari Volume 1, Book 8, Number 387

    SHARIAH SAYS ALL MUSLIMS MUST SEND MONEY TO TERRORISTS

    Zakat is a form of tithing in Islam and is considered one of the Five Pillars of the faith. Essentially, every Muslim who is able to do so is required to give 1/40 of his wealth each year to the “needy” through the system of zakat. Today, most of the zakat payments, at least in the West, go through Islamic charities and mosques.

    This has proven to be a problem because so many Islamic charities and mosques have been shown to provide material support for terrorism.

    Periodically, during the course of our research, we come across examples of confirmation of Islamic doctrine identifying the acceptable destinations for zakat (Muslim tithing). Invariably, number 7 on the list of 8 destinations for zakat is jihad.

    This isn’t come rare, obscure practice. It is mainstream practice and it is part of Shariah.
    There is a connection to Shariah-Compliant Finance here since there is a mandatory zakat component with Shariah-compliance.

    The latest confirmation we discovered comes from Bangladesh, specifically the Ahsania Mission Zakat Fund.

    On its “Zakat in Islam” page on its web site, the Ahsania Fund identifies and explains the 8 acceptable destinations for zakat. Here is number 7:
    Fisabillillah – One who fights for the cause of Allah.
    Here is a link to that page for confirmation:
    http://www.zakatdonation.org/Zakat-in-Islam.php

    That doesn’t end our analysis though.
    The Ahsania Fund doesn’t just collect money in Bangladesh. It lists contacts and addresses for zakat donations in the USA, UK, Australia and Canada:
    http://www.zakatdonation.org/Bank-Account.php

    Now, we have no definite indication that the Ahsania Fund collects and distributes money for jihad, but we do know this:

    1. The Ahsania Mission Zakat Fund collects zakat money on 4 continents.
    2. On its web site the Ahsania Mission Zakat Fund lists the 8 categories of people to whom zakat may be distributed.
    3. Number 7 is “One who fights in the cause of Allah”

    There is, of course, a connection to Shariah-compliant finance here. Shariah-compliant institutions, as well as many Shariah-compliant investment vehicles and transactions, are required to make zakat donations. And the explanations of the system of zakat show just exactly why zakat ends up funding terrorism (an explanation we will get to once again in a moment). We have addressed this previously, citing Islamic Shariah scholars and texts. We cited one text in particular, the widely circulated and popular Reliance of the Traveler:

    It is very important to show, however, that Reliance of the Traveler is far from the only authoritative manual of Islamic sacred law that confirms the use of zakat to fund Jihad. In fact, some discount (inappropriately and incorrectly) the importance of Reliance because it traces its origins back several hundred years.

    Therefore, when we find another authoritative text that confirms zakat funding Jihad, we are absolutely compelled to reveal it in as great detail as practical. Now is just such an opportunity/

    A Summary of Islamic Jurisprudence written by Dr. Salih Al-Fawzan in 2005.
    Sheikh Fawzan is considered one of the most esteemed Shariah scholars in the entire Islamic world, having received three degrees in Shariah from the University of Imam Muhammad in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. He is a member of the Council of Senior Scholars, the Fiqh Committee in Mecca and the Committee for Supervision of the Callers in Hajj. He also heads the Permanent Committee for Islamic Research and Fatwas. He is the Imam at the Prince Mut’ib Ibn Abdul-Aziz Mosque, hosts a national radio program in Saudi Arabia and has published 60 books.

    A Summary of Islamic Jurisprudence is published by Al-Maiman Publishing House in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.

    Several chapters of Volume 1 are devoted to zakat. Chapter 8 is devoted in its entirety to “Entitled Recipients of Zakat.”

    This chapter provides a complete explanation of the 8 categories of recipients of zakat who are entitled to receive it. Of particular interest to those of us in the West is the seventh category. From pages 364-365 of A Summary of Islamic Jurisprudence, Volume 1:
    The seventh category is that spent in the Cause of Allah such as that given to warriors who volunteer in fighting for the Cause of Allah and they do not take salaries from the Public Treasury of Muslims. Generally, the phrase “the Cause of Allah” refers to the war against the enemies of Muslims, as Allah, Exalted be He.”

    This passage is particularly important because it defines “the Cause of Allah.” Other sources, such as Understanding Islamic Law (Shari’a)by Professor Raj Bhala, have used this vague phrase and implied that it had nothing to do war or fighting. Clearly, Sheikh Al-Fawzan clarifies this point. To conceal or deny that zakat funds warfare is a form of taqiyya (sacred deception).

    It is not refutable; zakat funds warriors who volunteer to fight for the Cause of Allah against the enemies of Muslims, but who do not draw a salary. This can only be interpreted to mean irregular combatants–terrorists.

    It is vital that everyone understand that NO ONE is permitted to change these laws. Shariah is regarded as Allah’s law. So when someone on Wall Street or Fleet Street claims that no proceeds from their Shariah-compliant institutions, products, transactions or instruments could possibly be used for a nefarious purpose, they have no basis for these hollow assurances, simply because they have no authority or control over the ultimate distribution of zakat funds.

    It might help to refresh readers’ memories, or enlighten new readers, with the fact that one of the recipients of Zakat (‘alms’), the obligatory annual tax on all Moslems and Islamic financial transactions, is the Mujahideen — those who Fight for the Cause of Allah, i.e. those who wage Jihad. Perhaps some quotes from Reliance of the Traveller (‘Umdat al-Salik) would help:

    Book O: Justice, Chapter 09.0: Jihad

    (O: Jihad means to war against non–Muslims, and is etymologically derived from the word mujahada, signifying warfare to establish the religion…”) [It then lists verses from the Koran and Hadiths Bukhari and Muslim to support this]

    and

    H8.7 The Eight Categories of Recipients [of Zakat]

    It is obligatory to distribute one’s Zakat among eight categories of recipients (O: meaning that Zakat goes to none beside them), one-eighth of the zakat to each share

    […]

    H8.17 Those Fighting for Allah…meaning people engaged in Islamic military operations for whom no salary has been allotted in the army roster (O: but who are volunteers for jihad without remuneration). They are given enough to suffice them for the operation, even if affluent; of weapons, mounts, clothing and expenses (O: for the duration of the journey, round trip, and the time they spend there, even if prolonged. Though nothing has been mentioned here of the expense involved in supporting such people’s families during this period, it seems clear that they should also be given it.)”

    In the Name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful.
    Zakat-ul-mal
    (Friday speech delivered by Imam Mohamad Baianonie at the Islamic Center of Raleigh, N .C. on April 17, 1987)

    Zakat is the third Pillar of Islam. It is sometimes translated as alms or poor-due, but actually means purification, growth, and blessing.

    Zakat purifies the heart from the detested trait of stinginess, and also purifies the wealth by giving out a portion of that wealth. It also causes the wealth to grow through Allah’s blessings. While regular charity is strongly recommended and abundantly rewarded by Allah (S.W.T.), Zakat is a debt we owe Allah (S.W.T.), and must be paid as a part of our belief in Him.

    Zakat, as a specific amount, was ordained in Madinah during the month of Shawwal of the second year of Hijrah. In order to emphasize its importance, the order to give Zakat is associated with the order to perform prayers over eighty times in the Qur’an. In one Ayah which is repeated many times Allah (S.W.T.) says: “… And perform prayers and give Zakat…” and in Surat At-Tawbah (9:103), Allah (S.W.T.) says to His Messenger (S.A.W.) ” Of their wealth take alms so that, through it, you may purify and sanctify them…”

    The order to give Zakat is established numerous times not only in the Qur’an, but also in the Ahadith of Prophet Muhammad (S.A.W.). In a Hadith narrated by Imams Al-Bukhari and Muslim, the Prophet (S.A.W.) said: “Islam is built on five pillars…” and he mentioned Zakat as one of them. Also Imams Al-Bukhari, Muslim, and others narrated that when the Prophet (S.A.W.) sent Mu’ath to the people of Yemen, he told him: “… And let them know that Allah has ordained on them alms, to be taken from their rich (people) and given to their poor…”

    There are several Ayat (verses) and Ahadith that warn about the severe consequences for those who do not pay Zakat. We read in Surat At-Tawbah (9:34-35): “… And those who hoard gold and silver and spend them not in the way of Allah, announce unto them a most grievous penalty. On the Day, when they (gold and silver) will be heated in the fire of Hell and used to brand their foreheads, their flanks, and their backs. This is what you have hoarded for yourselves, taste you then what you have hoarded.” What is meant by “hoarded” here is every wealth on which Zakat was due but was not paid.

    Imams Al-Bukhari, Muslim and Ahmad narrated a Hadith in which the Prophet (S.A.W.) says: “For every owner of a hoarded wealth on which he does not pay Zakat, this wealth will be heated in the fire of Hell and made into sheets with which his flanks and forehead will be branded until Allah passes judgment among His servants on a day that measures fifty thousand years (of our reckoning), then his path will be shown, either to Heaven or to Hell.”

    The companions of the Prophet (S.A.W.) have unanimously agreed, during Abu-Bakr’s term of Khilafah, to fight those who refused to pay Zakat; and they did in fact fight those who withheld Zakat.

    …he [Judge O’kelly] also said the overwhelming majority of Muslims in Ireland do not support such radical ideologies as IS and stressed that the rise of Islamophobia should have no place in society….

    Well first off, this judge is wrong about the majority of Muslims in Ireland not supporting radical ideologies, mainstream islam is inherently radical with its violent views toward “unbelievers” and apostates. These “moderate” muslims should not be afforded the luxury of total immunity from responsibility for sustaining and encouraging ideas that are explicitly violent and bigoted toward non-muslims, a.k.a “infidels.” The good people of Ireland should feel angry that this judge took the opportunity to scold them in reaction to a muslim’s criminal activity. This judge says he knows of the escalation of acts of terror around the world, but then he quashes all rationality about islamic jihad with his sledgehammer condemnation of “islamophobia.” My reaction to that is, FUCK OFF! Judge, you just keep your “judgments” pertinent to your nation’s laws, but keep your condescending views about our legitimate concerns to your idiot self, you stupid c*nt. Don’t embarrass yourself, judge, in thinking we give a damn what you think about our moral and legal objections to islam.

    This just goes to show how detached from reality these pandering fools really are, as if the issue of islamic jihad and all the terror that comes with it can be “corrected” with a firm scolding against “islamophobia.” What are we supposed to do in reaction, hang our heads in repentance and promise to never again care about murder and terror for religion? HA! kiss my a$$! I can just see this intellectual midget shaking his finger while saying it, too, “Now don’t you naughty bigots start offending these nice muslims with all your talk of rape and enclaves and violence!” Puke! these idiots make me so mad, they have no serious concern for what’s really going on, they live in an entirely different world of privilege and power. Won’t be long and reality is going to bust their a$$ hard. These idiots will be the first that muslims sweep away as so much trash. Imams will be the new “judges,” and the law of the land will be barbaric sharia and all the brutality it brings. And as their heads are getting removed I can just hear Sadiq Khan exclaiming, “This is all part and parcel of living in a big city.” And I’ll just have to laugh.

    And by the way, did you all get the tips of your kitchen knives dulled like Sadiq wanted? Cuz we want a safer world, don’t we? They’re nuts! all of them, NUTS!

    I’m not sure but I may have created a new word, “Islamaversion”.

    “Well first off, this judge is wrong about the majority of Muslims in Ireland not supporting radical ideologies, mainstream islam is inherently radical”

    My friend, it’s not a radical ideology, It’s just another ideology.

    And the judge–like so many–is parroting the false notion that complying with Qur’an and Sunna is a perversion of “the religion of peace”.

    I am Islamophobic. Also, Nazi-phobic, commie-phobic, and Obama-phobic!

    Judge Eugene O’Kelly related to Judge Sweeny?

    Can we call him Imam O’Kelly.

    If you take examine the matter logically the only true islamophobe can be a moslem, because it is they who seem to have a problem with how muslim they are, and as this [Hasan Bal] case demonstrates, if they feel they are not moslem enough the resulting phobia scares them into being better moslems. That means they have to do as muhamhead did, in thought, word and deed; the only prescription allah gives for being the perfect moslem is to be like muhamhead.

    Dear Irish Judge,

    Is there a buffered, non-cannabinoid medication I can take for my Islamophobia so I don’t have to be locked up ?

    …he [Judge O’kelly] also said the overwhelming majority of Muslims in Ireland do not support such radical ideologies as IS and stressed that the rise of Islamophobia should have no place in society….

    ha ha ha ha ha… what a joke and that too from a judge and that too a Catholic.. as infidel as one could get,…VOW!!!

    This judge proves, once again, that it is possible to be highly intelligent and well educated but a fool nonetheless.

    In an ideal world, Justice O’Mally would be correct in his assessment of Muslim intolerance in Ireland and elsewhere. Sadly, he is incorrect. Casting an eye across the Muslim world, we see persecution, genocide and appalling brutality leveled against those who are not Muslim. As well, violence and murder continue to plague Islamic countries as Muslim kills Muslim; indeed, it can be argued that Mohammed rained a plague on the house of Islam. There is NO peace anywhere Muslims have migrated. From Mindanao to China, India, Australia and Europe – even The American continent, violence and discontent are introduced by Muslims. NO non Muslim culture, anywhere on this planet satisfies Muslim immigrants. NO peaceful people are rewarded by the assimilation of their Muslim immigrants whose natural proclivity is war and unending chaos for themselves and others. A pox on their wretched house. If war is their hearts desire for themselves, we cannot stop them, but we CAN stop them if they wish to introduce war to our shores.

    It’s the local town near me. And must say that every Friday the amount of Muslim walking around the streets you would think you were in an English town. Not a small city in Ireland and it’s it’s not unusual to see women now wearing a niqab walking around. .This is the third time in a few years Jihads for the city have been brought to court.

    Search “images world map average IQ”
    and “………………………….marry first cousins”
    and “………………………….corruption”
    and “………………………….muslims”
    Also “effects of centuries inbreeding in muslims”
    Notice a pattern? Many think it is an unfortunate coincidence.

    And call it “Islamophobia”.
