Afghan Convert And My Thoughts About Islam |

This article is written in connection with Abdul Rahman, who rejected Islam for Christianity, his strong determination not to give up under pressure and fear of death, his ultimate release and the recent interest of Afghan Muslims in Christianity. Ansarullah Mawlazezadah, Afghan trial judge had left no stones unturned to prove that Islam is a religion of peace and tolerance. He had given Abdul a chance to return to Islam and only be killed if he refused. But Abdul refused to return back to slavery. Unlike many other Muslims he knows the real meaning of freedom. Bible had given him enough strength to stand alone against the Islamic government of Afghanistan. Freedom is his birthright. The Afghan bloodthirsty mullahs had tried their best to tear "Rahman to pieces" but Allah could not fulfill their wishes as international infidel pressure was too strong and Rahaman was too determined to keep his faith. So he was declared mentally unfit to stand trial. Reliable sources from Afghanistan indicate something else -- Rahman was depressed, but surely not mentally unfit.

 As news of the further development of superbugs is released (Age 24/7/08) - not to mention infection with lesser bugs following hospital stays, the need for a comprehensive , systematic approach to ‘Healthcare Associated Infections’ becomes very urgent. Such an approach requires infection control, hand hygiene, mandatory immunisation of health-care workers against vaccine-preventable diseases etc. But, will the safety of others be compromised to comply with Muslim demands and practices - we wouldn’t want to ‘offend’ a Muslim would we?
Many of the areas examined below may apply to some extent to others but Muslims are a particular problem because of their:
- uncritical ‘religious’ observance;
- demands that we agree to Islam’s dictates hidden under the guise of ‘tolerance/religious freedom/ multiculturalism/diversity’ etc and that failure to do so is followed by threats and cries of ‘racist’ or ‘persecution’;
- aims to takeover - Islamization of Australia;
- allegiance to the umma;
- horrific attitudes to non-Muslims and females

We are at war with Militant Islam and those who support and appease its agenda. And I guess anyone who has knowledge  of recent history, would agree with me, that we have been at war with this ideology since the late 1960’s when the Islamists began their terrorist campaign against the west, by hijacking airliners. The Islamists, emboldened by the compliance to their demands of western governments, particularly those in Europe, have, since their first forays into terror, now become an adept world wide movement which threatens ALL nations with extinction. But this is not a conventional war in the sense that we have a recognizable enemy that we may close with in combat. Our enemy refuses to fight openly knowing they cannot match the might of the Coalition forces so chooses instead to fight using guerilla tactics. Part of those tactics is to commit acts of unbelievable cruelty and barbarity against those who cannot defend themselves with the intention of fracturing our societies. Our enemy is ruthless, cunning and prepared to die for his cause. In this regard we should never underestimate his strength of purpose and resolve. |

 France’s highest court has denied French citizenship to 32-year-old Faiza Mabchour, a Moroccan woman who wears a burka, on the grounds she had failed to integrate. After moving to France in 2000, following her marriage to a French citizen of North African origin, she converted to Salafism. She attended interviews with state officials: "clothed from head to toe in the clothing of women from the Arabian Peninsula, with a veil covering her hair, forehead and chin and a piece of cloth over her face. Her eyes could only be seen through a small slit…
She lives virtually as a recluse, disconnected from French society and in total subservience to the men in her family."

Can we learn anything from Britain as it dives into dhimmitude? The horror started for Sarah Desrosiers when, as  owner of a hairdressers which specialised in "urban, funky" cuts, she advertised for a junior stylist and in walked hijab wearing Bushra Noah. Ms Desrosiers said she needed her staff to display their hairstyles to the public to showcase different styles so no hats/caps can be worn. In the 10 minute job interview Ms Noah refused to remove her scarf at work. (It should be noted that Ms Noah appears heavily made-up in her photograph and in another she has fairly form revealing clothes on ---isn’t all this illegal for the good Muslim woman?) Apparently Ms Noah has not unsurprisingly been turned down for 25 jobs ---one wonders why she cannot get a job in salon specialising in ‘under hijab’ styles! Apparently Ms Noah 19, left a job to get married in Syria in 2006. |

 Why do Muslims insist that Jerusalem is their Holy City?
When Mohamed and his faithful followers moved from Mecca to Medina, they found themselves among three Jewish tribes/clans (BANU-L-NADIR, BANU KAINUKA and BANU KURAIZA) which settled there some time after their expulsion from their homeland and also living there were two Arab, pagan tribes.
Mohammed, who at this stage needed more followers, decided to win those tribes over and convert them to his newly invented religion.
Islam was yet not as fully developed as we know it today, and Mohammed was still having his sessions with Allah (the Medina period revelations).

Public Lecture on Islamic Science |
|
Written by Victoria Lovejoy
|
|
Monday, 28 July 2008 |
Before I talk about the speaker at the next public lecture at Melbourne University, I would like to make a few observations.  1. I am puzzled by the title ‘Islamic science’, as I believe science, the pursuit of knowledge based on evidence, belongs to all of us. We do not have Hindu, Christian or Jewish science, so why have Islamic science? Admittedly we have Hindus, Christians and Jews who are scientists, but they are continuing the tradition of rational enquiry, which has in former times been in opposition to religion - one only has to think of Galileo as an example. But the world’s great scientists, from Isaac Newton to Thomas Edison to Albert Einstein, were not acting in the name of religion, but out of a quest to expand the boundaries of human knowledge.
2. If the subject is science, why is it not taught in the Science Department? It seems odd that it is taught as a religious subject, when the speaker has an honours degree in science from an Australian University. He also has a PhD on Islamic Studies.
3. If there is no decline in Islamic science, how come there are hardly any Muslim Nobel Prize winners in the sciences, only for “Peace” and these as we know are highly politicised - just look at jihadi Yasser Arafaat!

Holy Islam - Holy Illiteracy, Holy Poverty, Holy Backwardness [A note to the readers: The olden unsolved ‘Chicken or the egg’ riddle does not bother me anymore because very recently another similar type of doubt rose within me. We all know that ignorance, poverty and backwardness are the holy heritage of Islam. But, which came first? Are Muslims poor because they are ignorant and backwards; or ignorant because they are poor and backwards; or backwards because they are ignorant and poor? The billion dollar question is; which came first – Muslim’s ignorance or Muslim’s poverty or Muslim’s backwardness?
I have spent enough sleepless night to solve this puzzle but in vain. I leave it to the readers to make inquiries and to come to a logical conclusion. Thank you.]

8 (10) year old Yemeni girl Nujood Ali/ Nojoud Muhammed Nasser in Sana was handed over in marriage to a man 3 times her age and was raped and beaten by her husband and then had to compensate her husband to get a divorce (which she only got because she happened upon the right lawyer and media coverage). She’s lucky she hasn’t been honour killed! (reference) (reference) Nojoud’s plight is barely reported and quickly forgotten yet it is a plight awaiting all girls under Islam!! - But DON”T mention it!!
NONE of the behaviours of the husband/father contravene Islam - the father has the right to marry off his pre-pubescent daughter with/without her consent (she wouldn’t know what she was consenting to); the husband has the right to sex with a pre-pubescent child and the right to beat her; and under Islam it’s very difficult for women to gain a divorce particularly if the marriage has been consummated, and the man must be compensated!

Myer Dubai – My Burqua Store Myer |

Melbourne icon Myer is set to open its first store in Dubai later next year, with a further four Middle Eastern stores to follow. Myer chief executive Bernie Brookes said Dubai shoppers would have the same feeling as if they were walking into Myer Chadstone.
 "Culturally and economically I think Dubai has a lot of similarities with Melbourne and indeed Australia” (source)
Maybe Bernie should do a little homework before claiming that Dubai and Melbourne are culturally and economically similar. My previous article about Dubai (See:Emirates – What does it mean to you?) shows that its glitzy appearance belies its dark Islamic heart. For instance, UAE law allows people trafficking, so non-Muslim employees may well be sourced from third world countries, lowly paid or unpaid and subject to cruel treatment. Despite Dubai’s pretensions as an international hub, shari'a courts there act in accordance with traditional Islamic law and practice. This means that acts acceptable in Australia are forbidden in Dubai. For instance, fornication and homosexuality are crimes, as is criticism of the Government and ruling families (punishable by imprisonment). (reference) |

World Youth Day and the Chaldean Connection |

Tuesday, 22 July 2008 |
As someone who attended World Youth Day celebrations and the final Papal Mass at Randwick Racecourse, it was astounding to see so many groups – the Hawaiians, the Fijians, Indians, Italians, Poles, Germans, Vietnamese, Spaniards (they sing at the drop of a hat), Mexicans and the list goes on  . There were No riots, no killings, no suicide bombs, no aggression – after all, this was not a Muslim gathering. In the midst of this were groups of Lebanese Maronites and several groups of Chaldean Christians from various parts of the world. What stood out was how polite and joyful these Middle Eastern groups were. Take away Islam from the Middle East and you get a whiff of what the Middle East could be like – full of lively, friendly people who go out of their way to talk to others and wish others well in a normal, human way. Most of these Middle East Christians were émigré groups who had fled the Islamic persecution of their home countries. However, there was one group who had a most difficult time getting here and their story deserves to be told- that is the story behind the arrival of Chaldeans from Iraq itself. Actually, 140 Chaldeans applied to come to WYD and the applications had to go through the Australian embassy in Amman, Jordan, and were initially refused. However, when the story of the refusal was made public through the Catholic News Service, 27 visas were finally granted to the Iraqis, and even thought the number was small, this group was able to come to Sydney to join in the WYD celebrations.

 In today’s scenario, the invaluable service provided by Commercial Shipping to the society and to the nations across the globe cannot be overlooked. It is the main artery that advances the world commerce. Modern economies cannot exist without a well organized and efficient merchant cargo fleet, because it is the cheapest mode of transport. From the early beginning shipping is a risky venture. In addition to the long monotonous sailing for months together, there are threats of typhoon, piracy, sinking etc. Piracy has existed almost as long as shipping and trade. Along the way, piracy came to be seen as an interesting historical problem associated with skull and crossbones flag, galleons of gold and villains carrying cutlasses. It was even perceived with a dash of excitement and even romance as depicted in the movie, ‘Pirates of the Caribbean’. |

Combating Defamation of Freedom |

Sunday, 20 July 2008 |
In the last few days many of us have received information regarding yet another odious “United” nations resolution  which, in classic Islamo-speak is entitled “Combating Defamation of Religions”. It will come as no surprise to any who are watching, alert and alarmed, that this “resolution” was hatched in the extremist Islamist enclave, the Organisation of the Islamic Conference. This …. enlightened….. body of thinkers is an international organization with a permanent delegation to the United Nations. It groups 57 member states, from the Middle East, Africa, Central Asia, Caucasus, Balkan, Southeast Asia, South Asia and South America.
Note, please, that Malaysia is a core member. I’ll get to Mahatir-land, (where this little kafir learned of the munificence and beneficence of Islam first-hand), in a moment. (I know he’s not the PM now, but his shadow is cast long on that land). Just pause and reflect for a moment on the… quality… of the 57 varieties of bean that make up this august soup group!
Niger!! Uganda!! Chad!! All “beacons” of civilisation. What is that sound I hear; your mind boggling?

Clitoridectomy; Wikipedia; The Age and Islam |

Warning: Very graphic and disturbing content! Surprise, surprise the Age (9/7/08) does its usual article concentrating on ‘female circumcision’, particularly the most horrific variety with the ‘gosh isn’t it shocking but it’s nothing to do with Islam’.... The reality that Islamic text/laws make clitoridectomy mandatory or regard it as sunnah (supported by Mohammad) or at least a worthy practise is completely  ignored. Also ignored are the many hadiths (which dictate day-to-day life) that support the practise. No-one claimed Islam invented clitoridectomy - the Arabs practiced it at the time of Mohammad ..but to deny that it was taken up by Islam, is promoted by Islamic religious leaders, is mostly practised by Muslims and has spread around the world with Islam just shows the power of Islam in stopping people (including UN groups) from telling the obvious truth - in the case of Islam, there IS a religious base to the practice!!! Note: May 2008 the Egyptian parliament seemed to have dropped laws making female genital mutilation illlegal in Egypt (other laws re increasing marriageable age and reporting families who beat their children were also over-ruled) (reference), though more recent reports claim clitoridectomy has been criminalised with trivial maximum sentences of up to 2 years jail and $1000 fine –AND it’s allowed in cases of ‘medical necessity!!! Conservatives maintain that Islam condones the removal of a girl’s clitoris to tame her sexual desires and condemn the amendment as a western import. (reference) |

FP: Abul Kasem, welcome to Frontpage Interview. Kasem: Good to be here Jamie. FP: We’re here today to discuss the potential demise of Islam and the fact that the Prophet Muhammad actually predicted this demise himself – a fact that sounds somewhat odd and that many are unaware of. What is the best way to start a discussion of this issue? Kasem: Well, I would start by asking this question: could the current civilization ever imagine a world without Islam?

 During the Third Reich (from 1933 to 1945, the prime time of the Nazis in Germany), it was a strict law to greet the Fuehrer with 'Heil Hitler'. People were put into concentration camps if they refused to use this greeting (Schirrmacher, 1992). 'Heil' is the German word for 'salvation', which is extensively used in the German Bible translations. 'Salvation Hitler' or 'Salvation through Hitler' was the message that almost every German daily preached to others. Hitler addressed to his fellowship, “Workers, you must look upon me as your guarantor.” (Hitler’s speech: December 10, 1940. Berlin). The message was clear: everybody should accept that Hitler is the salvation for Germany and for the world. Read more...

If you join the Nazi party If you join the Nazi party, does that make you a Nazi?
Well, morally there is no difference between a member of the Nazi party and one who sympathizes with and supports the Nazis.
Similarly with Islamists. If you support these racist misogynists, who endorse slavery and treat non-Muslims as subjugated inferiors, you are just as culpable as they are. More so in a way, as you don’t have the excuse that you were brainwashed from an early age and it was part of your culture.

We are not at war with terror, terrorists or some mysterious extremists. We are at war with Islam. It must be stressed that this is not a war against Muslims per se, but against the current Islamic elites, whose aim is to continue the struggle in the path of Allah until the whole world is ‘united’ under the house of Islam. It is a war against Islam and those who insist that it should remain as defined by Muhammad and all those who guard its foundations. Islamic Gratitude
We Australians are an altruistic lot: vast numbers of Aussies are involved in voluntary work – firefighters, surf lifesavers, those caring for the aged, the homeless, disabled, troubled or addicted, plus a variety of other worthy causes. Often these volunteers put their own lives and well-being on the line, all for the sake of helping others. People donate blood, even donate a kidney, to total strangers and risk their lives to rescue children from burning buildings. What makes people act so unselfishly?
I believe this altruism stems from our Judeo-Christian culture, where the obligation to help those less fortunate is woven into its fabric.
