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

Muslim leaders: “Identifying Islam with terrorism stems from evil intentions and dirty ambitions”

Oct 25, 2019 12:00 pm By Christine Douglass-Williams

Islamic supremacist leaders everywhere are upping the ante on spreading the misinformation that Islam is a “religion of tolerance” and peace, and that it has no connection with violence.

Pontificating as though the persecution of Christians and other non-Muslims, the murder of apostates and gays, the abuse of women and girls and the efforts to obliterate the state of Israel are fake news, Ali Erbas, head of Turkey’s Directorate of Religious Affairs, read out a joint declaration of the African Muslim Religious Leaders Summit, which stated:

Portraying Muslims, who follow the religion of mercy, as the perpetrators of violence and identifying Islam with terrorism is a perception operation which stems from evil intentions and dirty ambitions and is never acceptable.

It is well established that the Sharia and all Islamic states which ascribe to it sanction human rights abuses. Iran, Saudi Arabia, Turkey and Pakistan are state funders of jihad terror.

Violent jihad as a tool of Islamic conquest has been a command in normative Islam for 1,400 years. Still, the declaration continued:

It is obvious that dirty interests and insidious global structures are backing Boko Haram, al-Shabaab, Daesh and similar terrorist organizations that emerged in Islamic geography and are engaged in violence and terrorism, the declaration added.

Now who might these “dirty interests” be, for 1,400 years? The declaration continued….

Africa has a rich and deep-rooted pluralistic Islamic culture which can build a better world where love, tolerance and togetherness is plentiful. The declaration said Fetullah Terrorist Organization (FETO), the group behind the 2016 defeated coup bid in Turkey, is targeting African Muslims and trying to maintain its presence on the continent.

Among the many Muslim countries, there is not a single one where “love, tolerance and togetherness” are a way of life. Also, far too many Westerners in their own arrogance have accepted the lie that Westerners are to blame for Islamic rage and violence, when it actually began long before colonialism, and every other accusation that Islamic supremacists hurl at Westerners. Meanwhile, black slaves are still being held in Mauritania, Sudan, Algeria and Libya.

The tactic of blaming everyone else for abuses sanctioned by Islamic law is commonplace. The goal of this conference was to further the cause of Islamic law globally, and to keep on propagating the word “Islamophobia” in order to advance efforts to beat down critics of Islam everywhere. Anyone who does not believe that Islam is inherently non-violent, peaceful, tolerant, and “the religion of mercy” is defamed as “Islamophobic.”

“Istanbul meet condemns associating Islam with terrorism,” by Zehra Nur Duz, Anadolu Agency, October 22, 2019:

Islam is a religion of peace therefore associating it with terrorism and violence is unacceptable, Muslims leaders attending a conference in Istanbul said on Tuesday.

The third edition of the African Muslim Religious Leaders Summit saw the participation of academics, ministers and religious leaders from 51 countries

Ali Erbas, head of Turkey’s Directorate of Religious Affairs, read out a joint declaration at the final day of the four-day event.

“Portraying Muslims, who follow the religion of mercy, as the perpetrators of violence and identifying Islam with terrorism is a perception operation which stems from evil intentions and dirty ambitions and is never acceptable,” he said.

It is obvious that dirty interests and insidious global structures are backing Boko Haram, al-Shabaab, Daesh and similar terrorist organizations that emerged in Islamic geography and are engaged in violence and terrorism, the declaration added.

It went on to say that Africa has a rich and deep-rooted pluralistic Islamic culture which can build a better world where love, tolerance and togetherness is plentiful….

    Fine, simply adjust the Koran accordingly and make all Mullahs preach the adjusted Koran and you will be fine. Deal harshly with all old Koran commanded murder and violence.

      Yes, Identifying Islam with terrorism Stems from the Qur’an, with roots of evil and dirty ambitions. Fear and terror is also to control their own.

      A very many signatures (of well know/respected authors. professors, politicians, even a few Clerics of Islam from France) on a petition demanding exactly that was sent to al Azhar U, Cairo (last word on Jurisprudence/interpretation for Sunni); but they said NEVER! Not one word will ever be changed. Yet, they say some of it was only meant for a certain time in history but no explanation of that can ever be added or preached.

      Send your peaceniks into Al Azhar en masse (Islam has billions of followers, right?). AL AZHAR is considered the unofficial VATICAN of Islam. How inexplicable that they won’t budge but only give increasingly offensive, hypocritical remarks to the rest of the world who have not yet wearied of complaining (almost 36,000 attacks since 9/11? – that likely translates into how many thousands of actual lives? If you count not just the attacks but side effects such as immediate death and injury, and then later deaths from things like starvation, lack of shelter, lack of parents etc. it’s probably in the MILLIONS in just these 18 years (five times collateral death and damage per initial death is usually a fair measure they say).
      Yes, garner your force as a group of free-thinking INDIVIDUALS who are responsible for their choices. The world is watching. If ever-so-concerned peacenik insiders accomplish zilch at this first attempt, then you might mercifully scout around for a bad boy or two to put everyone out of their misery and finish the job at Al Azhar. The intelligent world will surely help you bury the traces.

    Muslim leaders: “Identifying Islam with terrorism stems from evil intentions and dirty ambitions”

    Hey, take it up with Big Mo himself (570-632). He brimmed over with evil intentions and dirty ambitions and he laid it all out in his behavior and his Qur’an.

    • Jule Bacal says

      Oct 26, 2019 at 2:56 pm

      The phenomena of those times is that people really Believed these things were necessary to survive in the world they lived in. They were not ever seen as evil or wrong but Right and necessary. TODAY, they must see that those old ways Are wrong.They must be reminded that the Qur’an was written about 100 years after Mo’s Death by a bunch of human Warlords about the old Warlord life/Culture everyone lived by. And it was not just the hadiths but the whole thing. But this is why Muslim countries do not want ‘others’ spreading things inside their countries and why they call others Satan who people must be fooled by etc. Then there is the Public punishments and stories of worse by Allah after death with the torture that will last forever. It is all BELIEVED.

        More than just decent Jews and Gentiles sought to escape the nearby trap/formula of the murderous desert marauders. The latter’s descendents seem to pick up on cellphones and PC’s pretty quick these days – so why can’t they pick up on logic, perspective, humility and common decency? Brain and heart fossilization?

    “The Muslim Ottomans, the Barbary pirates, Crimean Tatars, and Turks enslaved European, Russian, Mediterranean, and Caucasus whites between the 15th and 19th centuries. According to The Islamic Trade in European Slaves by Emmet Scott, the most conservative estimate is 15 million white slaves. Women and boys were preferred. Most of the women were sold into sex slavery, while boys were castrated and used as eunuchs. Crimean Tatars, who enslaved about 3 million, gave older men of little value to Tatar youths, who killed them for sport.”

      Yes, Diane, you are right to highlight this slave trade. It was massive and prolonged. But these days it is mostly overlooked.

    Ali Erbas, head of Turkey’s Directorate of Religious Affairs, is just doing his bid to make Turkey, rather than Saudi Arabia, look like the leader of Islam in the world. No reason to take apart any of his arguments: just look at it as public consumption for – not Western, but Muslim – people.

    By now, Western opinion seems to be pretty unified against Erdogan – and by extension Turkey – that their statements would be given less credibility. The only people this statement was meant for is the ummah

  6. Jaladhi says

    Oct 25, 2019 at 1:21 pm

    Islam is terror!1 Mo himself said – “he is made victorious by terror” or something like that. When Mo himself equates Islam with terror then who are we to argue the point. Muslims follow Mo and Islam to a tee and so identifying Islam with terrorism is just the right thing to do. They should go back and read their Quran carefully and if they don’t understand in Arabic, maybe they should read its translation in English!!

      You can always spot a new murmuration as they delightedly attempt to lambaste the kuffar in new and more advancing ways (knives and vehicles don’t seem to be passe this year however) What’s ironic is that it’s quite possibly their own house that’s being “destroyed from within” by it’s interaction with daylight and a superior culture and value system. You don’t fight with crazy, you just hope it tires and takes a long nap.

      Murmuration definition: murmurations are believed to act as giant signposts, attracting all the other starlings in the area so that all the birds can roost together. … Safety in numbers – When there are thousands of birds all wheeling and turning together, it makes it much harder for predators to single out one particular bird.

      In this case the “predators” are the ones wheeling about.

    No problem with fibbing by muslims. it is their duty…..don’t expect anything other than for them (Imams and followers) to deny the nature of the sura’s that call for terror, or war but for national security to allow the passage into the western countries after finding out we are their targets and the goal is warfare, and not study their concepts then I have a problem….with the left and the fantasy islam democrats/ republicans who enriched themselves and colluded, telling the population diversity with evil is fine, for whatever reason….this must be addressed and reversed. Many countries due to open borders, have accommodated the migration part of the war, and now have huge populations and it’s pretenses, while the citizens get arrested for speaking up about their concerns and fears. “Fear of others”is what Obama” proclaimed is due to racism but it is a fear of Quranic terror, that like a scorpion is in the nature for those who follow the commands, even the ones who don’t agree can’t speak up safely when the “other” may attempt to follow the sharia or Quran. Europe is in big trouble and keeping a cover slander laws on a boiling pot won”t help unless you remove it from the heat of words that are not exposed and say enough to the people who were determined to be citizens so they could fundamentally change the govenrnment to sharia, and be given a legal (sharia law) right to terror?

    Always hilarious to witness these Muslim con-artists twist themselves into freaking pretzels trying to square a circle and rationalize their insane, ultra violent ideology. Islam a religion of peace and tolerance? Hey dudes, that train left the station a looong time ago and it ain’t comin back. You can’t polish a turd like Islam. It stinks on ice and EVERYONE knows it….even you. I was born at night, but it wasn’t last night.

    Muslim leaders: “Identifying Islam with terrorism stems from evil intentions and dirty ambitions”

    As opposed to frank and forthright honesty which would show the terrorism of the qu’ran, the terrorism of Mohammed, and the terrorism commanded therein, and in the laws of Sharia.
    I’d love to quietly say this into the face of those who peddle the prior nostrums

    “Identifying islam with terrorism stems from evil intentions and dirty ambitions”

    But wait!

    Didn’t muhammed identify himself{…and thus as its prophet,islam..} with TERROR:So on that basis he must have been subject to evil intentions and dirty ambitions. …since after all,he identified himself with TERRORISM*?

    How dare muslims insult muhammed:we here at JW won’t stand for that….

    And is it now,the religion of “mercy”:oh now stop it.

    ABU DAWUD 4390:muhammed,mass murdered Jews ,men and boys,by beheading them{800+}
    Does that sound like a prophet of love,of peace,of mercy?

    mo the merciless{bbuh,(their) blood be upon him}
    {Actually,given that muhammed was killed by an enslaved Jewish woman who cunningly outsmarted him with her poisoned roast recipe which resulting in him FAILING the Poison test thus proving himself to be a fraud,it could be argued that Justice was done on behalf of muhammed’s victims by YHWH..}

    *”I have been made victorious through TERROR”

    Islam is a religion of peace therefore associating it with terrorism and violence is unacceptable, Muslims leaders attending a conference in Istanbul said on Tuesday.

    It all depends on what they mean by “terrorism”. Do they consider murdering infidels who criticize/mock islam/muhammad “terrorism”? Muhammad is recorded, in islamic texts, to have those who criticized/mocked him and his religion murdered. Since he is, per quranic definition, the perfect man, muslims are exhorted to emulate his behaviour as closely as possible.

  14. Merri-joy says

    Oct 25, 2019 at 4:30 pm

    “Istanbul meet condemns associating Islam with terrorism,” – they obviously havenot read their Quran’s recently so must be apostates because they are disobeying their false god Allah’s instructions to put terror in the heart of infidels – i.e. be Terrorists!

    It is certainly on the move, Islamic propaganda… andthe goal to capture American children minds. I just listened to a clip from Fox News about a Supreme Court case, of a child in a school in America, who was under pressure to write an Islamic prayer… the case was presented to the Supreme Court and denied. This is insane, dangerous and ignorant to force a child to write a Islamic prayer, who states she is Christain. Religion in school ,unless a religious school, has never been taught in my lifetime. This also dangerous for a child to say the shahada, that is really serious offense, since she is a Christian who has not converted to Islam if under pressure to or forced to say it…..with penalties that should never be considered in the U.S. as acceptable. I cannot beleive the level of misinformation and the twisted prezel attempt to even consider it….nor should a moderate muslim be given any credibilty even if a professional to state that it is not true that Islam teaches or commands muslims to fight against Christians and Jews since that is the fantasy Islam…being described as tolerant and Iam sure he wishes it to be but he knows the Quran and is fibbing. That really shocked me.

    “evil intentions”

    Such as justifying murder?

    “dirty ambitions”

    Such as rape and child molestation?

    No thanks, I pass.

    By the way muslims, to the average non muslim the problem is much more than just terrorism. Western leaders are fighting terrorism and only terrorism. You must be mistaking the average non muslim with western leadership. Big mistake, but you seem to be experts at that.

    “Identifying Islam with terrorism stems from …. THE KORAN,
