Egypt: Sunni scholars sanction ‘electronic Jihad’

Attacking American and Israeli websites by hacking and sabotage is allowed under Islamic law and is a form of ‘Jihad’ or holy war, top Muslim scholars have decreed.

The religious edict (fatwa) issued by a committee from the highest authority in Sunni Islam, Egypt’s Al-Azhar University in Cairo, was published on the website of the Islamist Egyptian Muslim Brotherhood movement on Thursday.  >>>>>

This comes years after the West has used their electronic warfare against even something as innocent as Islamic charities.

The Jihad Seminar

This legislation makes it unlawful for someone, on the ground of the religious belief or activity of another person or class of persons, to engage in conduct that “incites hatred against, serious contempt for, or revulsion or serious ridicule”. There is a similar provision about racial vilification. However, there is a defence for conduct that was engaged in “reasonably and in good faith” in the performance of an artistic work or in the course of a discussion or debate for any genuine academic, artistic, religious or scientific purpose. >>>>>

During the ongoing clashes over Muslims were killed and over 250,000 were displaced.

Nafez Azzam, an Islamic Jihad leader based in Gaza, voiced the stance of his movement to the press after being asked about the Egyptian proposal to send Arab forces to the territory.

Can Biden and Pelosi fend off Archbishops’ ‘fundamentalist’ views?

Irked by pro-choice Democrats who tout their Catholicism, the archbishop of Washington is chiding House Speaker Nancy Pelosi for misstating church history and the archbishop of Denver is warning vice presidential hopeful Joe Biden not to take Communion…

…Chaput added that abortion “is always gravely evil, and so are the evasions employed to justify it.”
During that 2004 presidential campaign, Chaput and a dozen other bishops called on Democratic nominee John Kerry to refrain from taking Communion. The church has also objected to former GOP presidential hopeful Rudy Giuliani taking Communion.  >>>>>

Even the Catholic Church has had enough of this secularist, political-elitist stance.  Religious practicing people from all walks would do well to understand that a clear message is being brought down by the Archbishops:  “Your political persuasion and power can get you only so far.  This castigation is a test (jihad) for the two Dems to seek more into their inner conscience and determine what is worth fighting for more: their ego-driven desire for status, or the desire of their souls to do what their God expects of them?”  This message should apply to all people of religions living in secular nations. 

For the past decades secularism has been chipping away at religious belief, and yes, by design.  I wonder if these two politicians have the gall to call these Archbishops ‘extremists’ or ‘fundamentalists,’ as Muslims have these titles attributed to them simply for wearing a head scarf or growing their beard. 

Muslims in the U.S. were once attracted to the Republican Party, they espoused a belief in God (even if it wasn’t always practiced).  The right and obligation to create and maintain strong family ties was more congruent with the anti-gay and anti-abortion stances of the right. 

Now that a certain group within the ‘right’ has wronged the world and the nation on many levels; Muslims and believers of other faiths seem more attracted to the Democrats.  The fact is, both Republicans and Democrats are of the same coin. 

They compliment each other to make a whole secular, two-party nation (which is by far a true example of democracy).  In an upcoming article, I will attempt to discuss this topic further.

I suppose that after they’re finished with helping to destroy Muslims around the world (with their silence), these top-level Democrats, the Speaker of the House and Obama’s Vice-Presidential candidate, are going to show the Catholic Church and other religious institutions that the US of A will not stand for that religious “mumbo jumbo.”  It’s a shame that the leaders of the ‘free world’ are not so enthusiastically welcomed in their own religious circles.

Alleged jihad writer ‘was a journalist’

Australian Federal Police (AFP) case officer Dale Redfern today said he knew of intercepted emails referring to Belal Saadallah Khazaal as being a journalist.

….He further agreed Mr Khazaal took steps to remove the book from the almagdese website, three days after the search, and weeks before his arrest.

Mr Redfern said Mr Khazaal was eventually granted bail after his arrest and has remained on bail since that time, living at his home address. >>>>>

Well, looks like a case is not going to get too far, God-willing. But the media coverage did wonders for negative public opinion about Muslims.

Islamic Jihad delegation in Cairo for talks on Palestinian crisis

Jihad and Gentle Resistance in the Wild West

Beijing has governed the giant Uighur province of Xinjiang for more than five decades. China’s Communist Party anticipates more attacks by Uighur separatists during the Olympics — as revenge for Beijing’s harsh treatment of the Muslim minority group.  >>>>>

One article attacks both sides with one sentence.  If this were about people of the West, those allied would be referred to as the resistance, freedom fighters, heroes and patriots.  I don’t think that the Muslims seek ‘revenge.’  I am very speculative of news that Muslims want to disrupt the Olympics.  It may be that there are several small false-flag operations that give way to the propagandizing about Muslims.  Muslims have nothing to gain by making a statement of terror in the Olympics.  Many others, including China, have a lot to gain — if something is made to look like Muslims did it, then the pressure to stop oppressing them may be eased off. 

Can the U.S. ever appear to have treated Muslims harshly?  In modern times, I think it starts with slavery of the Africans, including Muslims.  I’d like to talk about when it ended.  However, if you ask most Muslims in the U.S., they are being treated harshly up to now, so are non-Muslim Americans who feel the pinch and are numb to the pinch of the Patriot Act.  I think that over 1 billion Muslims worldwide would vote that the U.S. is still responsible for harsh treatment.  While most sought out a peaceful and nurturing co-existence with the “land of opportunity,” the American dream is proving more and more to be just that – a dream.

Somalia: ‘Djibouti Agreement does not concern us’: Al Shabaab

Hamas leader: We’ll retrieve Jerusalem only by way of jihad

‘Jerusalem will be returned to the Palestinians not by way of negotiations or hugging and kissing the enemy, but through blood, shahids and resistance,’ Haniyeh says, adding ‘Muslims must protect Al-Aqsa Mosque’   >>>>>

Belligerent occupation is governed by The Hague Regulations of 1907, as well as by the Fourth Geneva Convention of 1949, and the customary laws of belligerent occupation. Security Council Resolution 1322 (2000), paragraph 3 continued: “Calls upon Israel, the occupying Power, to abide scrupulously by its legal obligations and its responsibilities under the Fourth Geneva Convention relative to the Protection of Civilian Persons in a Time of War of 12 August 1949;…” Again, the Security Council vote was 14 to 0, becoming obligatory international law.

The Fourth Geneva Convention applies to the West Bank, to the Gaza Strip, and to the entire City of Jerusalem, in order to protect the Palestinians living there. The Palestinian People living in this Palestinian Land are “protected persons” within the meaning of the Fourth Geneva Convention. All of their rights are sacred under international law.  Professor Francis Boyle

It never ceases to amaze me that we are able to stand by while there are those who, contrary to the logic of humanity, feel that they can pre-emptively and criminally act – without impunity, while others are penalized for voicing that they are unable to continue their restraint — and one way or another, they must defend themselves — which is not a criminal nor pre-emptive.

Reconsider truce, says Jihad leader

GAZA: Israel is winning “collective gains” from the ceasefire with Palestinian factions in the Gaza Strip, the most significant of which is border security and maintaining the inter-Palestinian rivalry, Islamic Jihad leader Ibrahim An-Najjar said yesterday.  In a statement carried by the Palestinian News Agency (Ma’an), An-Najjar expressed his hope that Palestinian resistance factions would soon reconsider the “humiliating” ceasefire.  >>>>>
