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

UK: Conservative Party suspends members for criticizing Islam

Sep 20, 2019 2:00 pm By Robert Spencer

These suspensions illustrate the confusion — confusion that has been deliberately sowed by Leftist and Islamic supremacist groups — between legitimate criticism of Islam as a belief system and ideology, and hatred of innocent Muslims. Look at the statements that the BBC mentions here:

“Islam and slavery are partners in crime.”

Yet slavery is sanctioned in the Qur’an and Sunnah, as well as by the example of Muhammad, and is still widely practiced in Islamic states in North Africa, as well as in Saudi Arabia. If noting that is “Islamophobic” and will get you suspended from the Conservative Party, then the Conservative Party is at war with the truth.

“Islam is THE religion of hate (sic)”

Islam has a doctrine called al-wala wa-l-bara, “loyalty and disavowal,” that is, loving what Allah loves and hating what he hates. That includes hating unbelievers as “the most vile of created beings” (Qur’an 98:6).

“Muslims hate = free speech (sic).”

Unclear what is meant here. If the speaker is referring to the denial of the freedom of speech in Islamic law, that is here again simply a fact. Or if he means that hating Muslims is a prerogative allowed by the freedom of speech, his statement may be obnoxious, but it is accurate. If you’re not sure of that, consider this: is hating Christians also an offense that will get you suspended from the Conservative Party? Of course not. And hating Jews is practically a requirement of being a member of the Labour Party these days.

“Muslim scum.”

To whom was the speaker referring? Can murderous Islamic jihadis be referred to in this way? Or is any such statement immediately classified as “racist” and “hateful”? If someone during World War II had referred to “Nazi scum,” would he have been suspended from the Conservative Party?

“I don’t want Muslims in this country.”

This would involve expelling innocent people along with the guilty. And if this is not Conservative Party policy, as it most certainly isn’t, then this only would be grounds for suspension from the Conservative Party.

But these broad-based suspensions make it clear that any criticism of Islam or Muslims, no matter how accurate it may be, is forbidden today in Boris Johnson’s shabby little police state.

“Islamophobia: Conservative Party members suspended over posts,” by Alex Forsyth, BBC News, September 20, 2019:

A number of Conservative Party members have been suspended for posting or endorsing Islamophobic material online.

The BBC highlighted over 20 new cases to the party, who said all those found to be members who shared or supported anti-Muslim posts on Twitter and Facebook were suspended immediately.

However, the officials would not reveal the exact number of members suspended.

A Conservative spokesman said the party was now “establishing the terms” of an investigation into the wider issue.

There have been repeated calls for the party to hold an independent inquiry into allegations of Islamophobia among members, due to previous incidents that have been highlighted to the party and in the media.

The BBC was alerted to details of the new cases by an anonymous Twitter user, and independently verified each one before passing details to the Conservative Party.

The incidents ranged from individuals “liking” anti-Muslim pictures or statements on one or two occasions, to regular Islamophobic posts by people who said they were members of the Tory party.

Among the content that has been shared on social media, a Conservative councillor responded to a tweet in March, writing: “Islam and slavery are partners in crime.”

When contacted, he said the BBC was misrepresenting his views and he did not judge people by their race or religion.

He said out of 10,000 to 15,000 of his posts, three had been taken out of context as part of an effort by the BBC to “besmirch the Conservative Party”.

An independent parish councillor, who stated he had worked on Boris Johnson’s 2012 Mayoral campaign, posted: “Islam is THE religion of hate (sic)” and “Muslims hate = free speech (sic).”

When contacted, he told the BBC he was an atheist who was equally critical of Christianity and all other religions, and he found it annoying Islam was held aloft and critics of it were branded racist.

Other incidents included individuals posting comments such as “Muslim scum” and “I don’t want Muslims in this country”.
‘Robust processes’

Party sources said not all of the cases highlighted had involved members of the Conservative Party.

A spokesperson said: “All those found to be party members have been suspended immediately, pending investigation.

“The Conservative Party will never stand by when it comes to prejudice and discrimination of any kind.

“That’s why we are already establishing the terms of an investigation to make sure that such instances are isolated and robust processes are in place to stamp them out as and when they occur.”

Business minister Kwasi Kwarteng told BBC Radio 4’s Today that he believed an independent inquiry into Islamophobia in the Conservative Party was under way, but he was not able to provide details of it.

He said the party was “trying to get to grips with this problem” and it had taken “decisive action” when shown the cases by the BBC.

Since 2018, the Muslim Council of Britain (MCB) has been calling for the Conservatives to launch an independent inquiry into alleged Islamophobia, and in May, the council formally asked the Equalities and Human Rights Commission (EHRC) to hold one.

The MCB has listed a series of complaints against figures in the party, including Boris Johnson for comments he made about Muslim women before becoming prime minister….

    In March this year, the Archbishop of Canterbury Justin Welby spoke at an ‘interfaith gathering’ at Regent’s Park Mosque in London.

    Speaking after the Christchurch shooting, he said to his Muslim audience, ‘You are not “the other”, you are us.’

    And then this:

    qq/ For British Muslims who are feeling under threat, we are with you. Hatred of Muslims denies and blasphemes Christ. Those who co-opt Christian language and history for hatred commit blasphemy./qq

    I in no way endorse what the Christchurch shooter did. It was an odious crime. ‘Lock and load’ nutcases should be universally codemned.

    Nevertheless, what the Archbishop said is open to criticism. Here are a few points which occur to me.

    1. He uses the word blasphemy in a very loose and dubious way. Here is the Merriam-Webster explanation of the word:

    qq/ Blasphemy came into the English language in the 13th century, and for the first several hundred years of its life had but a single meaning, “the act of insulting or showing contempt or lack of reverence for God.”

    By the early 17th century it began to be applied figuratively to irreverence for things held in great respect that were not necessarily divine in nature, as in the phrase, “a blasphemy against friendship.”/qq

    I don’t see from this why disagreement with Muslims can be considered blasphemous, especially as they are a group who oppose Christian teachings and deny the divinity of Christ.

    In fact, the charge of blasphemy can more readily be laid against those Christians who say that all religions are equal and that there is nothing distinctive about Christianity.

    2. The Archbishop is conflating hatred and opposition, but the two are not the same. Certainly, Christians are commanded to love everyone as being ‘imago dei’ (in the image of God), but that does not mean they should tolerate all acts or should not oppose those who threaten them. The usual formula for this is ‘hate the sin, love the sinner’.

    I knew a family, one of whose children went off the rails in his late teenage years. He was living at the family home but started doing drugs and became very difficult to live with. He had violent tantrums, stole from his parents, intimidated his younger siblings and in general disrupted the family’s life so much that they could no longer tolerate him.

    Eventually they called the police and had him thrown out. Did they care about him? Of course. Did they tolerate his bad behaviour? No, of course not. Christians should treat Muslims in the same way.

    What is slanderously labelled as ‘hate speech’ can often more accurately be described as ‘opposition speech’. And there is nothing wrong with that. It is not wrong to oppose the supremacist religio-political ideology of Islam.

    3. In the same speech, the Archbishop says that Christians are called to be peacemakers. Now that is all very well, but peacemaking is rather like a game of tennis: it needs at least one genuine partner to be viable.

    Where is the evidence that Muslims are genuinely interested in peace? These ‘interfaith’ events are used by them to garner favourable publicity, but they never move one iota from the standard Islamic teachings. All the compromises come from the other side.

    In Islam, denigration of non-Muslims is baked in. It is there right from the beginning and is mainstream, not the province of a few cranks and crackpots on the lunatic fringe. Robert and many others on this site have quoted the relevant verses and sources many times, so I won’t repeat them here.

    Has anyone reading this studied negotiation strategies and tactics? I have. One key instruction in negotiation is never to make a concession without receiving something in return. You want a 25% discount? Ok, but only on bulk orders above a certain minimum value, without premium delivery and with no after-sales support.

    In other words, unilateral concessions are for dopes and saps, for people who have scrambled eggs for brains. But that is precisely what Western religious leaders do when they engage with Muslims.

    Even worse, in the misguided search for ‘harmony’ they fail to to stand up for their Christian correligionists who are being persecuted around the world, usually by Muslims.

    The Archbishop’s speech:
    https://www.archbishopofcanterbury.org/speaking-and-writing/archbishop-canterbury-hatred-muslims-blasphemy

    To be fair to the Archbishop, last year he did say that Sharia law is not compatible with British law and customs. So there is at least a glimmer of common sense there.

    https://blogs.spectator.co.uk/2018/03/justin-welbys-stance-on-sharia-law-is-a-welcome-relief/

    If Islamists are not opposed, they will seek to supplant Western societies with an Islamic theocracy. They are quite open about this. It is rather like the gradual process seen in the film ‘Invasion of the Body Snatchers’.

    https://www.meforum.org/islamist-watch/59063/emboldened-islamists-call-for-theocracy-in-america

    On a lighter note, a link to the hilarious market (non-) haggle in Monty Python’s ‘Life of Brian’. Western religious leaders are as clueless as this in their dealings with Muslims.

      All true, Lotus. Yet as bad as Welby is, he looks like a Counter Jihadist compared to his predecessor, the appalling pro-Islam Rowan Williams.

        Yes, you are right about Rowan Williams. He was an academic, bookish figure who did not recognise the Muslim threat and who failed to provide the leadership the Church required.

      • Lotus says

        Christians have opposed Islam ever since it first came out of Arabia. ‘Love your enemies’ does not mean roll over and allow them to supplant you.

        When the Muslims invaded Europe, they were militarily opposed by Christians who understood it was a fight for existence, no quarter given.

        Luckily for European civilisation, these was no political correctness in those days.

          The key figure in protecting north-west Europe was of course Charles Martel, and the key battle was the Battle of Tours, October 10th 732 (make a note in your diary and raise a toast to Charlie boy!)

          Although some historians have tried to play down the significance of the battles in southern France, there is no doubt that the victories over the Muslims on land and at sea were decisive in holding the Muslim influx at bay. What a hero!

          The line of Charles eventually went down to Charlemagne, a strong leader who profoundly shaped and advanced Christian Europe.

          Where are the men of yesteryear?

        URGENT NOTE TO THE ARCHBISHOP OF CANTERBURY … church history is filled with BISHOPS MURDERED BY MUSLIMS !!!

        What most Christian clergy today have yet to realize is that the Koran is an arrest warrant for Christians. Muslims are required to hunt Christians for booty and then, once they are caught and their leaders slaughtered, Muslims are to extract JIZZYA from Christians.

        Christian clergy have to see this matter of Islamic supremacism as a religiously-motivated war against disbelievers.

        Here is what the clear-thinking Fr. Henri Boulad SJ of Alexandria said:

        “Islamism is not a caricature, nor a counterfeit, nor a heresy, nor a fringe or atypical phenomenon versus classical, orthodox, Sunnite Islam.

        To the contrary, I think Islamism is naked Islam, Islam without a mask and without paint, Islam perfectly consistent and true to itself, an Islam that has the courage and lucidity to go all the way to its ultimate conclusions and final implications.

        Islamism is Islam in all its logic and in all its rigour. Islamism is present in Islam as the chick is present in the egg, as the fruit is present in the flower and as the tree is present in the seed.

        But what is Islamism?

        Islamism is political Islam, the bearer of a project for a model society and whose aim is to establish a theocratic state based on Sharia, the only legitimate law—since it is divine—since it was revealed and enshrined in the Koran and Sunna—it’s a law that applies to everything.

        Here is an all-inclusive and all-encompassing project, one that is total, totalizing and totalitarian.”

        Let the archbishop of Canterbury and other leading clergy MEMORIZE that.

          More accurately, Islam is a warrant to kill or enslave all who do not submit to Islam – after all, the very word ‘islam’ means surrender or submission. This demand for submission is ascribed by islamists and islam-apologists as meaning ‘submission to Allah’, but in actual fact the submission demanded here is not to ‘Allah’, or in fact to any god, but rather to those who devised this pseudo-religion in the first – i.e. the Arabs. After all, faith is a matter of heart and soul, of personal belief of the believer, not something brought about as a result of forced acquiescence to violence; and therefore such ‘faith’ aquired by force is de facto null and void.

          The majority of ‘followers of Islam’ throughout the world are the descendants of peoples conquered and enslaved by Arabs or their cohorts, deprived of their lands and their freedom, their language and their customs and their innate belief systems – and then forced on pain of death to convert to Islam; and subsequently equally denied the right to leave Islam on pain of death. This means that all forced convertees to Islam immediately become Arab slaves for life, to be used as their masters see fit. It also explains why we have this phenomenon of the ‘good’ Moslem; these ‘good’ Moslems are Moslems by force, not by choice.

          This leaves us with the remaining types of Islamic followers: Arabs and willing convertees. Why the Arabs would ascribe to a ‘religion’ which gives them the right to take anything and everything they desire by force and violence requires no explanation; it would unfortunately appear to be part of their DNA. The willing covertees to Islam are a bit harder to explain. In essence, all who willingly and of their own volition covert to Islam can be divided into two groups: they are either deluded fools who are in urgent need of psychiatric treatment; or else they are venal psychopaths who are attracted to a so-called ‘religion’ which gives them carte-blanche and wholeheartedly and actively encourages them to act out their most sickening and nefarious activities with impunity, claiming in their defense to merely be upholding the tennets of their religion. This explains why Islam is the fastest growing ‘religion’ in western prisons – it appeals to the criminally minded.

          What kind of religion is forced upon the believer irrespective of their personal beliefs or wishes? What kind of religion denies unbelievers the right to leave said religion at will? This is why I firmly believe that we should no longer refer to Islam as a religion, but rather as a cult – a cult of death and destruction to all who do not accept the cult and its final goal; Arab World Domination.

          After 1400 years of constant, bloodthirsty attempts by the Arabs and their cohorts to bring about their plan for world subjugation, isn’t it about time that we recognized that fact and joined the fight against the scourge of Islam, for our sakes and for the sake of all future generations?

(An aside: when we know that in the last days of her Premiership she appointed Qari Asim, who wants blasphemy laws and who cannot be removed from the post very easily it is no surprise we have these wolves in sheep’s clothing.)
      My apologies for the length of the interview, but Nissar Hussain is explaining how both Justin Welby and Theresa May dismissed his plight allowing him to be so badly treated.

        The British people are paralyzed by post-colonial guilt and they are afraid to take back their freedom of speech. Governments really don’t care about freedom of speech … it can be very inconvenient if someone has a GOOD POINT that differs from the government’s current propaganda.

        Free speech for ME but not for THEE.

        BIG NEWS TO THE BBC : THE ISLAMIC TEXTS: KORAN, HADITHS AND SIRA are the MOST VIOLENT RELIGIOUS TEXTS when compared to the texts of other religions.

        The decrees of Allah calling for violence against disbelievers are ETERNAL and thus LACK A CUT-OFF DATE on them.

        The 164 JIHAD VERSES in the Koran are STILL IN EFFECT and incumbent upon all Muslims.

        The BBC had a muslim Head of Religious Broadcasting until a prominent Christian organisation made a public complaint about it. Then, (according to my information), the BBC scrapped that position but kept the muslim on, doing the same job but wearing a different hat (not headscarf, as the person concerned was male!). This muslim has since left the BBC, but the BBC remains infested with muslims as witnessed by the constant islamic propaganda it pushes out – and they think no one notices!! By the way, we’ve had a reference to this ‘Muslim Council of Great Britain’, which seems to think that it’s some kind of organ of government with the right to throw its weight around influence if not actually determine offical national policy. Odd, since it’s completely unelected and can’t possibly pretend to represent anymore than about 4-5% of the current UK population – unless, of course, it sees itself as the future governing assembly of the UK.

        That’s not true, if the For Britain party receives the support it deserves. Many people in Britain are disgusted with the Labor party AND the Conservative party (which is also quite PC and Islam-friendly), and are alarmed by what is happening to their society. And Britain’s parliamentary system makes it easier for new parties to gain seats and attain power, compared to the clunky, fossilized, two-party system in the U.S.

        Everyone who is concerned about the Islamization of the UK/ Europe/ the West should become a member (you don’t have to be a Brit), make monthly donations of any amount you want, or at least help to promote them via the Internet. But what I see instead is a lot of people throwing in the towel, claiming that Britain is a lost cause — and suggesting that this party has no chance of coming to power, so why bother?

        Supporting this political party NOW, when they need it, is far easier and far less costly than taking part in the bloody revolution/ civil war that will be required to save Britain if the For Britain party fails to gain enough members & supporters. No one’s asking you to put your life on the line by fighting it out in the streets of London or Birmingham (yet); and if everyone who wants to see sanity restored to the UK throws their support behind this party, that may never be necessary.

        I’m not British, but I see this as an excellent opportunity to begin turning back the Islamic invasion of the West. And Britain is too important a part of Western Civilization to allow it to fall to Muslim invaders & their PC allies.

          You may not agree with me, but the spiritual power behind Islam is very strong and only the stronger and opposite power of the Jesus can overcome Islam.

          R Russell — No, I can’t say that I agree with you. Although Islam’s devotees are motivated largely by a superstitious belief in an afterlife, etc., we will fail spectacularly in the war with Islam if we rely upon supernatural agents or “solutions”.

          Jesus (assuming he ever lived) can’t help us. We’ve got to fix this problem ourselves, via practical, real-world solutions grounded in reality, rather than in wishful thinking. We have got to rid the West of Muslims ourselves — then contain Islam within Muslim-majority countries, and do what we can to de-fang & weaken it.

          The “spiritual power” of Islam, generated by religious superstition, would be no threat to us if it were not for the real-world human agents of that power (i.e., Muslims) who are actively trying to colonize & subjugate the Western world — and doing a lot of raping, murdering, & intimidating in the meantime. Those living, breathing Allah junkies operating in the real world must be thwarted & defeated by living, breathing human counter-jihadis.

    Honestly, while I feel for ‘grooming gang’ victims, I don’t feel sorry for the Ummah Kaliphate at large. This is a country that throughout history supported Mohammedan vermin – whether it was Turkey in the Crimean war, interrupting the reversal of Muslim domination of India in the 18th century, or made various other alliances w/ Muslim powers against Romanovsk Russia in the 19th century. That country is headed to be destroyed by Muslims – most of whom have nothing to do w/ the UK’s membership of the EU. Most UK Muslims are from those sub-continental jewel of Greater Pakistan – today’s Pakistan and Bangladesh, who came in courtesy their commonwealth membership. That’s something that none of their politicians – be it pro or anti Brexit – seem willing to acknowledge.

    The UK’s “Conservative Party is at war with the truth”.

    Further proof that the UK is finished as a free society.

    What little innocent girls. Just like the non muslim girls that are raped and pimped out, while their fathers are arrested for attempting to rescue them. Luckily that won’t happen to them, because they are muslims.
    Islam discriminates against non muslims, and the left covers up murder and genocide.
    Hopefully we will one day see christian, huidu and Jewish girls this age asking please dont rape me muslim man, I am not just A beast in the field, you cannot kidnap me, forcibly convert me, marry me as long as your right hand can posses me.
    The infadels know.
    in G-d I trust.

    UK: Conservative Party suspends members for criticizing Islam
    ………………….

    And these are *the conservatives*. Labour is now actively supporting Jihadists in many cases–just look at the egregious Jeremy Corbyn. Britain really is in deep trouble.

    Just glad to see that there were *some* in the Conservative Party who understand that Islam is not compatible with British values. Of course, after this they will be less likely to dare speak out.

    The west really focus too much on the White supremacism right now, they it seems to forget about the fact that there are other supremacist too.Many Asian are very racist, but the government of their country never do or attempt to do anything about it. Don’t forgot that sometimes Asian or Black can use racial slur to white too. White people are totally unprotect about this.
    Well, he just speak the truth even muslims don’t deny this. Even now they think slavery is acceptable.

    The Conservatives appeasement of Islam (going right back to the days of Enoch Powell), is almost as bad as that of Labour. Are these the views of Boris Johnson, or those politically correct dhimmis within the Conservative Party who want to get rid of him?

    “The Conservative Party will never stand by when it comes to prejudice and discrimination of any kind.” Not even if the criticisims are true? That would be a denial of free speech and the road to totalitarianism.

    Criticising Islam: Has the Conservative Party already adopted the Sharia as its legal code? Under the Sharia it is forbidden to criticise Islam, and the punishment for a blasphemer is death, “if one of the subject people mentions something impermissible about Allah, the Prophet (Allah bless him and give him peace), or Islam.” (‘Reliance of the Traveller’, O 11.10.05).

    The sign carried by the Muslim woman reads, “Don’t let the racists divide us”. But Islam is the most racist creed ever invented, and divides communities wherever it goes.
    “O you who have believed, do not take the Jews and the Christians as allies. They are [in fact] allies of one another. And whoever is an ally to them among you – then indeed, he is [one] of them. Indeed, Allah guides not the wrongdoing people.” (Quran 5:51).

    Muslims are forbidden to dress like kafirs (unbelievers):
    “The clothing of righteousness (read Isamic) is best.” (Q7:26).
    “And when he covers her, she carries a light burden and continues therein.” (Q7:189).
    “O Prophet, tell your wives and your daughters and the women of the believers to bring down over themselves [part] of their outer garments. That is more suitable that they will be known and not be abused. And ever is Allah Forgiving and Merciful.” (Q33:59). NB: Women who are not ‘covered’ are targets for abuse by Muslim men.

    “Islam is THE religion of hate (sic)”.
    “Let not believers take disbelievers as allies rather than believers. And whoever [of you] does that has nothing with Allah, except when taking precaution against them in prudence. And Allah warns you of Himself, and to Allah is the [final] destination.” (Q3:28). This verse is also the basis of the Islamic doctrine of Taqiyya, or lying to deceive unbelievers.
    “Indeed, those who disbelieve will be addressed, ‘The hatred of Allah for you was [even] greater than your hatred of yourselves [this Day in Hell] when you were invited to faith, but you refused’.” (Q40:10).
    “Indeed, we are disassociated from you and from whatever you worship other than Allah. We have denied you, and there has appeared between us and you animosity and hatred forever until you believe in Allah alone.” (Q60:4).

    Islam commands its followers to wage holy war or jihad against non-Muslims.
    “So let those fight in the cause of Allah (jihad) who sell the life of this world for the Hereafter. And he who fights in the cause of Allah and is killed or achieves victory – We will bestow upon him a great reward [Paradise – and all those virgins].” (Q4:74).
    “I will cast terror into the hearts of those who disbelieved, so strike [them] upon the necks and strike from them every fingertip. (Q8:12).
    “O you who have believed, fight those adjacent to you of the disbelievers and let them find in you harshness. And know that Allah is with the righteous.(Q9:123).

    Assimilation:
    “Indeed, they who have believed and done righteous deeds (Muslims) – those are the best of creatures.” (Q98:7).
    “The unbelievers will be in the fire of Hell. Those are the worst of creatures.” (Q98:6).
    In Islam there is no universal ‘Golden Rule’. Muslim men are regarded as superior to women (Q2:282); and all Muslims (men and women) are regarded as superior to unbelievers. This is why Islam is incompatible with freedom and democracy – and why most Muslims will never ntegrate into Western societies. Why would the “best of creatures” integrate into a society run by the “worst of creatures”?

    Any official of the Conservative Party who wades into this mire without a deep understanding of Islam and its political ideology, would be a thorough-going fool – and not fit to represent the Party or pass judgement on those who criticise Islam.

    Islam is a criminal ideology which has no place in a civilised society.

    Those UK pollys are absolutely desperate for immigrants to keep their economy “bubbling along”.
    It amounts to importing people who will prey on their current lot of citizens. Does the current population need replacement / up grading?

      Peter WF,

      Ironically, the immigrants are decimating the economies of Western Europe. Only a relatively small percent hold jobs while the rest of them live off the welfare state.

      I would not call this a population upgrade.

      I find it VERY hard to believe there are that many native (English) people in the UK who are unemployable thereby “forcing” leaders to import Moslems to do the jobs.

      What precisely happened to the English work ethic??

    This archbishop of Canterbury is a blasphemer and apostate of the Christian Faith. He is not a real Christian! He is one of those Judah who prefer to destroy the European tradition, culture and faith, for the sake of humiliating survival. Shame England! The Queen, as the head of this sa called church of England since King Henry, should fired this pro-islam hierarch. Uk is already in under sharia grasp.

    ISLAM HAS A DOCTRINE OF HATE and APARTHEID :

    ‘AL BARAA’ is translatable into English as Islamic Apartheid, Shunning, Avoidance, Hatred, Cleansing, etc. Allah ordered Muslims to have Baraa (to be cleansed) from the dirty kufaar and from kufr and shirk. ‘AL BARAA’ is the reverse of ‘COMRADESHIP WITH MUSLIMS’ (AL WALAA).

    AL BARAA is NORMATIVE ISLAM, rather than an aberration.

    -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.”

    – K. 28:86 says: “Lend not thou support in any way to those who reject Allah’s Message.”

    – 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.”
    (Note: not ‘if the time comes’, but ‘WHEN the time comes.)

    – “Killing a Kafir who is fighting you is OK. Killing a Kafir for any reason (i.e. criticism of Islam), you can say, it is OK – even if there is NO REASON for it. You can poison, ambush and kill non-believers. You must have a stand with your heart, with your tongue, with your money, with your hand, with your sword, with your Kalashnikov. Don’t ask shall I do this, just do it.”Abu Hamza al-Masri (Egyptian born British Cleric)

    – “As a Muslim, I must have hatred for anything non-Islam” – Anjem Choudary.

    MEMORANDUM TO THE PARLIAMENTARIANS OF WESTMINSTER:

    It is ironic for UK Parliamentarians to ban an undefined, theoretical, nebulous, unofficial ‘Islamophobia’, when Islam contains an intolerant, discriminatory doctrine that is ‘ESSENTIAL’, DEFINED, LEGALLY BINDING, PRECISE and OFFICIAL for all Muslims.
    • ‘Al Walaa wal Baraa’ – (Allegiance and Disassociation) is an Islamic doctrine that is very similar to apartheid, but more severe.
    • ‘Al Walaa wal Baraa’ is an ‘essential doctrine’ (usul ud-deen). ‘Essential’ means that all Muslims must believe and practice al Walaa wal Baraa as a condition of being admitted to paradise.
    • ‘Al Walaa wal Baraa’ is a highly developed, well-supported and canonical part of Islam approved by the consensus of Islamic jurists. Al Walaa wal Baraa is not an ‘opinion’.
    • ‘Al Walaa wal Baraa’ is legally binding and obligatory upon all Muslims.
    • ‘Al Walaa wal Baraa’ is precisely defined by Islamic jurists and is not a nebulous idea
    • ‘Al Walaa wal Baraa’ is an official Islamic doctrine and considered the second most important doctrine in Islam.

    Definition of ‘Al Walaa wal Baraa’ from Islamic sources:
    • from “The Islaamic Concept of al-Walaa’ wal-Baraa’” by Khalid El-Gharib: …“[iv] to show enmity to those who show enmity to Allaah and His Messenger” (i.e. Muslims are to visibly demonstrate their enmity or towards the kufaar – non-Muslims)
    • 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.” (i.e. the hatred of Muslims toward the kufaar is for the purpose of ethnic cleansing)

    Examples of Baraa from Historic Islamic Leaders:
    • from 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, just as he hates their kufr (disbelief in Islam) itself.”

    UK DO NOT REALIZE THAT THEY ARE ESTABLISHING ISLAM AS THE OFFICIAL RELIGION OF UK IF IT MAY NEVER BE CRITICIZED.

    …and, don’t worry, here in Australia, I and others try to quite visibly demonatrate (and convey) my/our enmity toward islam – in demeanor or word, or T-shirt, or bumber sticker, etc – at every oppertunity ee can as well.

    This strikes me as an application of Shariah Law. Absent calling for violence against Muslims, people should be able to express their opinions of Islam. No Muslims are being expelled from Parliament because the Koran denies the divinity of Christ and claims he was a Muslim fraud who faked his own death.

    It seem to me that Britain is in the process of submitting to Islam and only an uprising of the commoners will prevent Britain from becoming an Islamic state.

    I have criticized many religions, including my own Catholicism, many times. In our western society and culture the criticism of religion is an acceptable and necessary method of enabling reformations to occur that reflect the progress made in our civilization.

    Those who immigrate to western countries must either accept such critical discussion or leave. Our western culture and the necessary criticism of religions that exist or are imported into it, will not be changed …… PERIOD !!!
