Rejecting hatred, extremism, “all forms of discrimination,” exclusion and division is good, right? Not when such words are manipulated by stealth jihadists, far-Leftists and hate-filled Black Lives Matter revolutionaries. And an even starker reminder of this nefarious manipulation has now occurred in Saudi Arabia. This international group of Islamic leaders isn’t assembling to figure out how Saudi Arabia can put its lip-service to reform into action; rather, they’re there to combat divisions and “discrimination” between Muslim groups — not infidels, not apostates, not anyone other than Muslims.
More than 1,299 religious scholars and intellectuals took part in a conference titled “International Conference on Islamic unity — the perils of labeling and exclusion” held in Makkah on Wednesday.
Non-Muslims are barred from entering Makkah (Mecca). The event was organized by the Muslim World League. The Saudi-backed charity International Islamic Relief Organization is an offshoot of the Muslim World League, which has been found to be supported by jihadist organizations. This Conference “committed to serve Muslims” is also uniting the Islamic powerhouses of the world to battle “Islamophobia,” and the Organization of Islamic Cooperation is included, as expected. The OIC leads the global charge against “Islamophobia,” which is nothing more than a “jihad on free speech” in the West.
The secretary-general of the Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC), Dr. Yousef Al-Othaimeen, hailed Saudi Arabia’s successful experience against extremism, violence and terrorism. He said the steps Saudi Arabia has taken to counter this negative trend have transformed it into a reliable reference for everything related to Islam.
Never mind that Saudi Arabia spends billions to export Wahhabism worldwide, and that the Islamic State’s doctrine is rooted in Wahhabism. Saudi Arabia acts as “both the arsonists and the firefighters.”
“Saudi Arabia’s King Salman says Kingdom is committed to serving Muslims,” Arab News, December 12, 2018:
MAKKAH: Rejecting all forms of hatred and extremism, Muslim scholars from 127 countries have proposed to initiate an intercultural partnership to effectively fight Islamophobia.
More than 1,299 religious scholars and intellectuals took part in a conference titled “International Conference on Islamic unity — the perils of labeling and exclusion” held in Makkah on Wednesday.
Makkah Gov. Prince Khaled Al-Faisal inaugurated the event organized by the Muslim World League (MWL).
The participants of the conference called for a comprehensive plan to address sectarianism and extremism.
They also stressed the need for creating effective channels of communication between followers of different Islamic schools of thought to remove misunderstandings and increase cooperation.
They unanimously rejected sectarian views and extremist ideas and urged scholars and preachers to play their role in uniting Muslims.
The Makkah governor delivered a speech on behalf of King Salman underlining the need to remove misconceptions about Islam and Muslims through dialogue. He also urged Muslims to set aside their petty differences and to work together to achieve a great and prosperous future.
Saudi Arabia’s Grand Mufti Sheikh Abdul Aziz Al-Asheikh, who is also head of the MWL Supreme Council, highlighted the teachings of Islam that categorically reject all forms of discrimination.
The grand mufti urged the Muslims to forge unity among their ranks and do away with rivalries, petty differences and say no to divisions and factionalism….

Saudi Arabia where non-muslims are barred from entering whole regions is basically an APARTHEID state!

Saudi Arabia is one of the very worst Shari’ah states on earth.

The Grand Mufti “highlighted the teachings of Islam that categorically reject all forms of discrimination.”
Like this one?
“Muhammad (SAW) is the Messenger of Allah, and those who are with him are severe against disbelievers, and merciful among themselves.”
Koran 48:29

Hypocrisy thy name is Islam!!
mortimer says
But hating kafirs ‘for the sake of Allah’ and discriminating against them is NORMATIVE ISLAM and an ‘essential teaching’ of Islam.
Allah ordered Muslims to have Baraa (to be cleansed) from the dirty kufaar and from kufr and shirk.
-Imam Abdul-Latif ibn Abdur-Rahman Rahimullah said, “It is not possible for someone to realize Tawheed (Islamic faith) and act upon it, and yet not be HOSTILE against the mushrikeen (i.e. wrong worshippers). So anyone who isn’t HOSTILE against the mushrikeen, then it cannot be said that he acts upon Tawheed nor that he realizes it.” [ad-Durar as-Saniyyah 8/167]
-“The doctrine of al Walaa wal Baraa is the REAL IMAGE for the actual practice of this faith.” – source “Al Walaa wal Baraa According to the Aqeedah of the Salaf”, by Sheikh Muhammad Saeed al Qatani, authoritative Saudi Sharia lawyer and imam at the Abu Bakr and Al Furqan Mosques in Mecca. – https://islamfuture.wordpress.com/2009/08/20/al-wala-wal-bara-according-to-the-aqeedah-of-the-salaf-parts-123/
-Shaykh Ahmad ibn ‘Atiq said:
“There isn’t in the Book of Allah the Exalted – after the issue concerning the obligation of tawheed and the forbiddance of its opposite (kufr=wrong belief)- any issue which has as so many proofs, nor so clearly explained, than the issue of al-walaa’ and al-baraa’.” (W-B is ‘Islamic apartheid’)
– Dr. Muhammad Saeed Al-Qahtaani said: “Thus, it is clear that Al-Wala’ Wal-Bara calls on Muslims to “love” their fellow Muslims and hate the non-Muslim (or Kafir).”
– from Sufi scholar Ahmad Sirhindi (1564-1624): “The honour of Islam lies in INSULTING kufr and kafirs. One who respects the kafirs dishonours the Muslims… The real purpose of levying jiziya on them is to HUMILIATE them to such an extent that they may not be able to dress well and to live in grandeur. They should constantly remain TERRIFIED and TREMBLING. It is intended to hold them under CONTEMPT and to uphold the honour and might of Islam.”
– from ibn Taymiyya, “Book of Emaan”: “… true believers show ANIMOSITY and HATRED towards disbelievers and NEVER support them.”
– from Umar Sulayman ‘Abd-Allaah al-Ashqar, “Belief in Allah”: “The Muslim should regard the Kuffaar as ENEMIES and HATE them because of their kufr (wrong belief), just as he hates their kufr (disbelief) itself.”
– from [Chap.iv] “The Islaamic Concept of al-Walaa’ wal-Baraa’” by Khalid El-Gharib: “… to SHOW ENMITY to those who show enmity to Allaah and His Messenger”.
(Note: Muslims are to visibly demonstrate their ENMITY or HATRED towards the kufaar)
– from a lecture given by Sheikh Abdullah al-Faisal (H.A.): “The implication of al-Baraa is that one HATES for the sake of Allah (SWT)…Al-Baraa means to recognize who your enemies are and to HATE them and EXTERMINATE them in their Endeavour to get rid of your Deen, al-Islam…Al-Baraa is to HATE the people who propagate Baatil (falsehood)—the Muslim should HATE them and (at least desire to) KILL them when the time comes.”
Robert Carrillo says
Ahhh… “Welcoming” and “Inclusive”.. That’s the ticket..
The difference between a “religion” and a “CULT”, is exactly this and more.. …and of course, when you try to leave it behind you, and say to them: No Thanks.. ..you are marked for death…
FYI says
End discrimination?They will have to scrap or abridge the violently antisemitic antiChristian koran and open synagogues and churches and Temples{ for Buddhists and Hindus: its enslaved foreign workers}throughout Saudi Arabia…..that will not happen!…
They could at least agree to stop funding the hideous,triumphalist and culturally inappropriate mosque-building epidemic in the West.
Non-muslims are barred from entering meccah:so if Moses or Jesus were around today,being Jews,they couldn’t enter the ‘holy’ city…that’s reserved for the holiest people in the world koran 3:110
Casey says
When they say “perils of exclusion” they mean THEM being excluded from US, not the other way around.
Islam want everything its way – e.g. our “free speech” works for them here but not for us any more, and so on.
Wellington says
Perils of exclusion and yet this conference is held in Mecca which is off limits to non-Muslims? If Islam weren’t so dangerous it would be worth a laugh fest on virtually a daily basis. Being Muslim comes with blithe ignorance of how unintentionally ironic it so often is. Put another way, Islam really does do terrible things to the mind.
dan christensen says
“Hypocrisy” is the most widespread religion in the world today; it is not restricted to Arabia. The more adherents, the more hypocrisy.
Everywhere the female members of the Elites are crying their eyes out for the plight of the millions of migrants pouring into Europe. The same delicate females are the first and most eager protesters, when even a few migrants move into the residential areas of the sensitive Elite females.
No wonder that Europe appears tumultous and pychologically disturbed. Nervous extreme emotional women vacillates between anxiety over the proximity of unbridled savagery of young muslim males and a shamefaced feelings of guilt.
Purity of heart is to have only one desire. You cannot share a civilized society with a bunch of warmongering money-grabbing religious maniacs. It is unproductive to wish for two opposites at the same time; but of course natural for strongly religious inhabitants of sand dunes.

Saudis hold “International Conference on Islamic unity” and “perils of exclusion” in city where non-Muslims banned
………………..
I’d say that was ironic, except that Muslims have no sense of irony…
What they are actually saying is that Islam has to be accepted everywhere, and the ‘filthy Infidels’ have to submit.
Guy Forester says
The problem is they are no different than any other groups that base their loyalties on family, clan, and tribe. The primary role of the police and military in any of these despotic regimes is to protect the elite from the average person. In the KSA, that is largely along family, clan, and tribal lines. I suspect that this is common in most of these third world pits.
After they all agree that no one can discriminate against a Muslim, they will start to argue over who is a real, true, muslim.
