Boston-Bombings-A-First-Look: Debunking CAIR'S Testimony to the Homeland Security Cmte.

Boston-Bombings-A-First-Look: Debunking CAIR'S Testimony to the Homeland Security Cmte. CAIR submitted thirteen pages of written testimony to the United States House Committee on Homeland Security. In my view, the major thrust of the testimony is condemnation of alleged profiling & entrapment. I see it as equivalent to the Mafia telling the committee how organized crime should be investigated and prosecuted. Uncle Vladdi suggested this, with which I agree: Or, the Nuremberg trials being boycotted until they were conducted by only officially Nazi-vetted "prosecutors" (conciliators) "because otherwise they might be prejudiced by bigots and lack legitimacy!"

If you desire to read the testimony, use the thirteen pages link above to download it in pdf format. I am extracting a few statements exemplary of al-Taqiyya & kitman to refute. [Emphasis added for clarity.]

Targeting al-Qaeda-Inspired Violent Extremism

Violent extremism is not limited to any one ethnicity, political ideology or religion. In January, the West Point Military Academy’s Combating Terrorism Center reported that since 2001, violent white supremacists and other far-right groups have murdered 306 Americans and injured another 1,616.ⁱ Since the events of September 11, individuals associated with or inspired by al-Qaeda or similar groups have committed 37 murders in the U.S., out of the 180,000 murders committed during that time.ⁱⁱ Moreover, since 1979 environmental and animal rights extremists have committed over 2,000 crimes and caused more than $110 million in damage.ⁱⁱⁱ

Terrorism is not limited to the USA. It is performed all over the world. Most of it is done by Muslims. The two attacks on the World Trade Center were not done by right wingers or Christians. The attempted Times Square bombing was not plotted by a Jew. Numerous foiled plots were planned and almost carried out by Muslims. The Boston Marathon bombing was carried out by Muslims, motivated by their religion.

No matter what anyone else does or has done, Islam; off the shelf, normative, as revealed and exemplified by Moe, motivates Muslims to maim, mutilate, kill and enslave. Since 623, 270*10⁶ lost their lives to Islamic imperialism.

Violent Extremism

    Terrorism is an intrinsic sacrament of Islam predating the formation of the Egyptian Muslim Brotherhood and its offshoot, al-Qaeda. Allah said in the Qur'an that he would and did "cast terror into the hearts of those who disbelieve" and described the consequences of that act. Allah commanded Muslims to strike terror into the hearts of disbelievers by building a mighty army and harsh treatment of defeated victims. Allah promised to reward Muslims who take any step to injure or enrage disbelievers.

    Moe said that he was made victorious by terror cast into the hearts of his enemies. Allah said that Moe was an excellent example to emulate if one desired admission to his celestial bordello.

    Terrorism is not extremism; it is normative Islam, commanded by Allah and exemplified by his Messenger. Moe terrorized his victims by harsh treatment of defeated people and assassinations. He also dictated & dispatched explicit extortion letters.

al-Qaeda-Inspired

Terrorist groups do not inspire terrorism, they draw attention to Allah's imperatives, threat & promise, which motivate believers to do his wet work. They remind believers of the fard al-kifaya of participation in annual attacks against infidels.

While al-Qaeda and other groups exploit real and perceived provocations and grievances to pressure believers to engage in violence, Allah's imperatives, threat & promise and Moe's exemplary conduct are the real sources of the terrorist impulse.

For the government to responsibly counter domestic acts of terrorism carried out or inspired by al-Qaeda or similar groups it is important for law enforcement to develop a uniform and shared understanding of the ideology that motivates al-Qaeda’s violent extremism as opposed to the religious beliefs and principles of Islam.

ideology

Only Allah has the right to be worshiped. 3:2
Only Allah has the right to legislate & rule, which he delegated to Moe and his successors. 33:36
Jihad is ordained for Muslims. 2:216
War must be waged against pagans until only Allah is worshiped on a global scale. 8:39
War must be waged against Jews & Christians until they are subjugated & extorted. 9:29
Acts of terrorism are credited to the terrorist as righteous good deeds. 9:120
The blood and property of infidels ain't not sacred to Muslims. Infidels only acquire human rights when they become Muslims. Bukhari 1.8.387
The basic penalty for "waging war against Allah and his Messenger" is execution. 5:33

"waging war against Allah and his Messenger" includes disbelief http://www.islam-universe.com/tafsir//5.13751.html

religious beliefs and principles of Islam

The bullet points immediately above this heading contain bold blue underlined text: hyperlinks to authentic Islamic sources including the Qur'an, Sahih Bukhari and Tafsir Ibn Kathir. The imperatives, threat & promise laid down in Surahs Al-anfal & At-Taubah, confirmed in authentic hadith and codified in Shari'ah, are religious beliefs and principles of Islam.

Anyone wishing to understand the ideology of Islam should read The Prophet of Doom in addition to the texts linked above. .

Islam prohibits extremism and an essential part of the faith is moderation. The Quran, Islam's foundational holy text, states: "We made you to be a community of the middle way, so that (with the example of your lives) you might bear witness to the truth before all mankind." (Quran, 2:143)

Extremism prohibited

Moe massacred the men and boys of a Jewish settlement after they had surrendered following a two week siege. Read more about it here: http://www.islam-universe.com/tafsir//33.41512.html . Moe did that; exemplary, moderate Islam, not extremism, which would be prohibited.

8:67. It is not for a Prophet that he should have prisoners of war (and free them with ransom) until he had made a great slaughter (among his enemies) in the land. You desire the good of this world (i.e. the money of ransom for freeing the captives), but Allâh desires (for you) the Hereafter. And Allâh is All-Mighty, All-Wise.

47:4. So, when you meet (in fight Jihâd in Allâh's Cause), those who disbelieve smite at their necks till when you have killed and wounded many of them, then bind a bond firmly (on them, i.e. take them as captives). Thereafter (is the time) either for generosity (i.e. free them without ransom), or ransom (according to what benefits Islâm), until the war lays down its burden. Thus [you are ordered by Allâh to continue in carrying out Jihâd against the disbelievers till they embrace Islâm (i.e. are saved from the punishment in the Hell-fire) or at least come under your protection], but if it had been Allâh's Will, He Himself could certainly have punished them (without you). But (He lets you fight), in order to test you, some with others. But those who are killed in the Way of Allâh, He will never let their deeds be lost,

genocide

What does Allah want? Genocide: "great slaughter"; "killed and wounded many of them". What did Moe want? Ransom & plunder: "the good of this world". Can you get a clue? Genocide is moderate, normative Islam, not extremism. There is nothing wrong with the massacres of Hindus, Assyrians & Armenians, Allah demanded "great slaughter". Got a clue yet?

radicalization

The Marathon’s accused bombers, Tamerlan, 26, and Dzhokhar, 19, Tsarnaev, journey to violent extremism had in part begun online through social networking sites linked to al-Qaeda-inspired videos and content. Dzhokhar Tsarnaev has told investigators that he and his brother learned to build the improvised explosive devices (IEDs) used in the Boston attacks from the English-language online magazine Inspire, circulated by al-Qaeda's Yemen branch, and were influenced partly by the online sermons of Anwar al-Awlaki, an al-Qaeda linked leader.iv It has been reported that Tamerlan had posted to his personal YouTube account a video extolling al-Qaeda.”^v The Russian Federal Security Service (FSB) also allege that Tamerlan was in contact by message board with at least two individuals who were killed in a battle by Russian security forces in the Russian republic of Dagestan in 2012.^vi

Radicalizer

1998 & 1999: Serves as vice president of Charitable Society for Social Welfare Inc., the U.S. branch of a Yemeni charity headed by Abdul Majeed al-Zindani. Federal prosecutors in a New York terrorism-financing case later describe the charity as “a front organization” that was “used to support al-Qaeda and Osama bin Laden.”

After Sept. 11: Attends Muslim outreach luncheon at the Secretary of the Army’s Office of General Counsel, according to documents obtained by Fox News.

Feb. 5, 2002: Awlaki delivers lecture to senior Defense officials at the Pentagon on Islam and Middle Eastern politics and popular culture. See here. http://awlaki.sethhettena.com/

    How could such a nice, moderate Imam radicalize the brothers Tsarnaev, after all, the Pentagon reached out to him. Didn't he lead prayers for the Islamic Congressional Staffers, too?

    Do you believe? Then you sold your soul and life to Allah in return for admission to Paradise. Prove your faith and zeal: Allah tests them by fighting.

    There are no radicals or extremists; only believers. There is no radicalization process; there is learning of Allah's imperatives, threat & promise and Moe's excellent example.

moderate Islam

Snake Excrement!!! No such entity exists; Islam is what it is: Moe's authentic interpretation of his recitation as enshrined in the Qur'an & exemplified in his Sunnah.

moderate Muslims

Whose "faith will not go beyond their throats (i.e. they will have no faith) and will go out from (leave) their religion as an arrow goes out of the game. So, where-ever you find them, kill them, for who-ever kills them shall have reward on the Day of Resurrection."

Security

Security is not surveillance, security cameras, investigations or infiltrating mosques. Security is eliminating enemy personnel from within our borders. If you want to be sure that some G'd'd Muslim will not run you over with his auto, shoot you, stab you or dismember you with a bomb, then send them all home and exclude them from entry. No Muslim students, technical workers, medical specialists, religious workers or tourists. No Muslims! Expel them and exclude them.

Raccoons and skunks carry rabies and knock over trash cans. Muslims maim and kill. Its what they do when they obey Allah and emulate his Profit;. Put a bounty on them if you want to be safe at home.

Obamination: Treachery In Cairo #5

REMARKS BY THE PRESIDENT ON A NEW BEGINNING Cairo University Cairo, Egypt. [Block quote format, Ariel font, emphasis added.]
Refutation by a disgusted citizen interspersed in Times New Roman.

Now, that does not mean we should ignore sources of tension. Indeed, it suggests the opposite: We must face these tensions squarely. And so in that spirit, let me speak as clearly and as plainly as I can about some specific issues that I believe we must finally confront together.

The first issue that we have to confront is violent extremism in all of its forms.

violent extremism

This shibboleth is employed to establish a false premise: "Islam is a great religion of peace; Jihad and terrorism are deviations from standard Islam.". Jihad is defined and mandated (ordained) in 2:216. Allah dedicated Surahs Al-Anfal & At-Taubah to warmongering. Moe exemplified it in his sunna. Ibn Kathir brings the two together most effectively. Intelligent men of good will will read it and curse Islam, demanding its extinction.

In Ankara, I made clear that America is not -- and never will be -- at war with Islam. (Applause.) We will, however, relentlessly confront violent extremists who pose a grave threat to our security -- because we reject the same thing that people of all faiths reject: the killing of innocent men, women, and children. And it is my first duty as President to protect the American people.

Not at war with Islam

Islam is permanent war against all mankind. What part of "fight them until" do you not comprehend? You have seen "Islam will dominate" on signs in demonstrations in Britain. You have heard it in Juma Kutba. What part of it do you not comprehend? Ibn Kathir calls it "good news". Get a clue.

The situation in Afghanistan demonstrates America's goals, and our need to work together. Over seven years ago, the United States pursued al Qaeda and the Taliban with broad international support. We did not go by choice; we went because of necessity. I'm aware that there's still some who would question or even justify the events of 9/11. But let us be clear: Al Qaeda killed nearly 3,000 people on that day. The victims were innocent men, women and children from America and many other nations who had done nothing to harm anybody. And yet al Qaeda chose to ruthlessly murder these people, claimed credit for the attack, and even now states their determination to kill on a massive scale. They have affiliates in many countries and are trying to expand their reach. These are not opinions to be debated; these are facts to be dealt with.

facts to be dealt with

Al-Ikhwan al-Muslimeen, Muslim Brotherhood, al-Qaeda,& Hamas are all one and the same. They are Islam. Islam is them. They are all devoted to one Gd'd demon and based upon one Gd'd book. A lion is a deadly predator, no matter what you call it. Islam is a deadly predator, no matter what name it goes by.

Now, make no mistake: We do not want to keep our troops in Afghanistan. We see no military -- we seek no military bases there. It is agonizing for America to lose our young men and women. It is costly and politically difficult to continue this conflict. We would gladly bring every single one of our troops home if we could be confident that there were not violent extremists in Afghanistan and now Pakistan determined to kill as many Americans as they possibly can. But that is not yet the case.

But that is not yet the case

It never will be! So long as Islam dominates Afghanistan, it will be a source of terrorism. Terrorism and genocide are intrinsic sacraments of Islam. Have you read 3:151, 8:12, 8:60, 8::67, 33:26, 33:27, 47:4, 59:2 and 59:13? Why the Hell not? Those ayat are short, easy to read and comprehend. I gave you links to them. Please use those links. In 8:60, scroll down to Abdullah Yusuf Ali's translation. What is the purpose of a large army and arsenal? To do what to whom?

In Germany, we broke the yoke of Nazism. In Japan, we broke the yoke of Shinto. In Afghanistan & Iraq, Shari'ah is the source of law in the new constitutions. Get a clue, for Chrissake! We are wasting blood and treasure on a fool's errand. Would you kick a bear's teeth down his throat and then buy it dentures?

And that's why we're partnering with a coalition of 46 countries. And despite the costs involved, America's commitment will not weaken. Indeed, none of us should tolerate these extremists. They have killed in many countries. They have killed people of different faiths -- but more than any other, they have killed Muslims. Their actions are irreconcilable with the rights of human beings, the progress of nations, and with Islam. The Holy Koran teaches that whoever kills an innocent is as -- it is as if he has killed all mankind. (Applause.) And the Holy Koran also says whoever saves a person, it is as if he has saved all mankind. (Applause.) The enduring faith of over a billion people is so much bigger than the narrow hatred of a few. Islam is not part of the problem in combating violent extremism -- it is an important part of promoting peace.

extremists

Same old shibboleth. Jihad, genocide & terrorism are intrinsic sacraments of Islam, they are not extreme; they are normal.

irreconcilable with the rights of human

Islam is irreconcilable with the rights of human beings. Islam denies the right to life. It denies the right to autonomy. It denies freedom of belief & practice. It denies dignity. It denies equality. It murders. It enslaves. It rapes. Moe said that our blood and property become sacred to Muslims when we become Muslims. Get a clue.

and with Islam

The activities of al-Qaeda and Taliban are not irreconcilable with Islam! They are Islam! Taliban means "students of the Koran". They memorize that damned book and the accursed hadith. They obey Allah and emulate his Messenger. That is what Islam is; that is what Believers do. For Chrissake, get a God Blessed clue!!!

49:15. Only those are the believers who have believed in Allâh and His Messenger, and afterward doubt not but strive with their wealth and their lives for the Cause of Allâh. Those! They are the truthful.
Sahih Bukhari Volume 4, Book 52, Number 65:

Narrated Abu Musa:

A man came to the Prophet and asked, "A man fights for war booty; another fights for fame and a third fights for showing off; which of them fights in Allah's Cause?" The Prophet said, "He who fights that Allah's Word (i.e. Islam) should be superior, fights in Allah's Cause."

Fighting to make Islam dominate the world is Allah's cause; if you don't participate, you are not a believer; you are going to Hell.

whoever kills an innocent

Another shibboleth, from 5:32. They never quote the next verse; why is that? Only because it prescribes hudud for those who "wage war against Allah": bilateral amputation, crucifixion, death or expulsion. What is the meaning of "wage war against Allah? Ibn Kathir has the answer. Wage war' mentioned here means, oppose and contradict, and it includes disbelief, blocking roads and spreading fear in the fairways. [The Punishment of those Who Cause Mischief in the Land] Disbelief is sufficient to render you najis, not innocent. Kufar are not innocent, they are guilty of rebellion against Allah and may be killed with impunity unless they are under a treaty of protection. Hypocrites fall into the same category. Get a clue! The Order for Jihad against the Disbelievers and Hypocrites

Islam is not part of the problem

Islam is the problem!!! Allah said "fight them until" ; 8:39, 9:29. Islamic law says that the Caliph makes war upon Jews, Christians and Zoroastrians. That is in Reliance of the Traveller, O9.8, which cites 9:29 as its scriptural basis. O9.9 says that the Caliph fights all other people until they become Muslim. O9.1 says that it is an obligation binding upon Muslims in every year.

promoting peace

I challenge the President to show how Islam promotes peace! Is this how it promotes peace??

Each item in that list is a link to a topic in Ibn Kathir's Tafsir. Ibn Kathir spent his entire adult life studying and teaching Islam. He was a hafiz and a qadi. He quotes the relevant ayat and ahadith, putting them together so that the meaning will become clear to you. If you could comprehend plain English, you would not need his assistance.

Although prepared for martyrdom, I preferred that it be postponed.
Attitude is a little thing that makes a big difference.
Battles are won by slaughter and maneuver. The greater the general, the more he contributes in maneuver, the less he demands in slaughter.
Danger - if you meet it promptly and without flinching - you will reduce the danger by half. Never run away from anything. Never!
I always seem to get inspiration and renewed vitality by contact with this great novel land of yours which sticks up out of the Atlantic.

I like a man who grins when he fights.
I was only the servant of my country and had I, at any moment, failed to express her unflinching resolve to fight and conquer, I should at once have been rightly cast aside.
If you have an important point to make, don't try to be subtle or clever. Use a pile driver. Hit the point once. Then come back and hit it again. Then hit it a third time-a tremendous whack.
In war as in life, it is often necessary when some cherished scheme has failed, to take up the best alternative open, and if so, it is folly not to work for it with all your might.
It is no use saying, 'We are doing our best.' You have got to succeed in doing what is necessary.
Moral of the Work. In war: resolution. In defeat: defiance. In victory: magnanimity. In peace: goodwill.

Never, never, never give up.
No folly is more costly than the folly of intolerant idealism.
One ought never to turn one's back on a threatened danger and try to run away from it. If you do that, you will double the danger. But if you meet it promptly and without flinching, you will reduce the danger by half. Never run away from anything. Never!

These are not dark days: these are great days - the greatest days our country has ever lived.
They are decided only to be undecided, resolved to be irresolute, adamant for drift, solid for fluidity, all-powerful to be impotent.
True genius resides in the capacity for evaluation of uncertain, hazardous, and conflicting information.
Victory at all costs, victory in spite of all terror, victory however long and hard the road may be; for without victory, there is no survival.
War is a game that is played with a smile. If you can't smile, grin. If you can't grin, keep out of the way till you can.
War is mainly a catalogue of blunders.
We shall defend our island, whatever the cost may be, we shall fight on the beaches, we shall fight on the landing grounds, we shall fight in the fields and in the streets, we shall fight in the hills; we shall never surrender.
We shall draw from the heart of suffering itself the means of inspiration and survival.
When the eagles are silent the parrots begin to jabber.
