Cahaya's Rants

Dubai, 28 March (AKI) – A photo of Dutch right-wing politician Geert Wilders has been posted on several Islamist websites linked to al-Qaeda, after his anti-Koran film was released on a video-sharing website on Thursday.Wilders’ 17-minute film entitled Fitna, criticised Islam’s holy book, the Koran.The film sets verses of the Koran against a background of images from terrorist attacks.

“The Dutch, enemy of Allah, has done what he threatened to do and distributed his film,” said a banner in an Islamist website.

The message is followed by dozens of posts by visitors of the site asking for Muslims to act against him.

Someone tell me why and how quoting verses from the Koran is anti-Koran? Those verses are indeed found in the Koran, aren’t there?

AMSTERDAM (Reuters) – Iran and Indonesia on Friday condemned a film by a Dutch lawmaker that accuses the Koran of inciting violence, while Dutch Muslim leaders urged restraint.

Islam critic Geert Wilders launched his movie on Thursday evening. Titled “Fitna”, an Arabic term sometimes translated as “strife”, it intersperses images of the Sept. 11, 2001 attacks and other Islamist bombings with quotations from the Koran.

The film urges Muslims to tear out “hate-filled” verses from the Koran and starts and finishes with a cartoon of the Prophet Mohammad with a bomb under his turban, originally published in Danish newspapers, accompanied by the sound of ticking.

The image ignited violent protests around the world and a boycott of Danish products in 2006. Many Muslims consider any depiction of the Prophet as offensive.

Iran called the film heinous, blasphemous and anti-Islamic and called on European governments to block any further showing.

Indonesia, the world’s most populous Muslim nation and a former Dutch colony, also condemned the film.

“We are of the view that the film has a racist flavour and is an insult to Islam, hidden under the cover of freedom of expression,” a foreign ministry spokesman said. “We call on Indonesian people not to be incited.”

Someone tell me how showing images and video clips of clerics, protestors, and jihadists, basing their hatred of Jews and infidels from the Koran, is viewed as anti-Islamic?

Racist? What race is Islam?

The three Indonesians sentenced to die for the 2002 Bali blasts say that they are ready to be executed and their only regret is that Muslims were among the 202 killed in the attack.Imam Samudra and the brothers Mukhlas and Amrozi are held at the top-security Batu prison, off the southern coast of Java. They were allowed to meet relatives yesterday in what is likely to be the last such visit before they face a firing squad, probably within the next two months.Amrozi became known as the smiling bomber because of his constant grin during his trial. “People ask me, why am I smiling? I am happy because I will be united with 72 angels in heaven,” he said in an interview with Reuters and a local television network. “I have killed many with my bombs. I have been tested by spending time in this prison, but if you make infidels angry you will be rewarded.”

….

“We have no regrets at all,” Mukhlas said. “The Bali bombing was intended to uphold the divine order. My brother Amrozi was visited by a dead friend in a dream last night, who told him that a flying creature with a golden saddle is waiting to take him to heaven. This is why we will not ask for pardon. This is about heaven and hell. Asking for pardon is a big sin.”

No regrets. It is a divine order. That is why Islamists like Muklas cannot be ignored. If we do, we do it at our peril. We cannot underestimate the willingness of those who believe that their killing is divinely inspired, to kill more.

(CNN) — U.S. Embassies and American interests “at home and abroad” are prime targets for terrorist attacks, American al Qaeda member Adam Yahiye Gadahn said in a newly released al Qaeda-produced video.

“We shall continue to target you at home and abroad just as you target us at home and abroad … ,” Gadahn — also known as Azzam the American — says in the video provided to CNN by www.LauraMansfield.com, a Web site that analyzes terrorism.

Later in the video, which is about an hour long and takes the form of a documentary, the self-proclaimed American jihadist makes explicit threats against the United States and U.S. interests, singling out embassies and consulates.

“These spy dens and military command and control centers — from which you plotted your aggression against Afghanistan and Iraq and which still provide vital moral, military, material and logistical support to the crusade — shall continue to be legitimate targets for brave Muslims … until and unless you heed our demands: Stop the crusade and leave the Muslims alone,” he said.

Here’s one American convert to Islam who wants the Caliphate to rule the world. Hope he meets the same fate as Abu Musab al Zarqawi, and meets his 72 virgins really soon!.

The cries and demands from the Muslim community for the Pope to apologise after repeating quotes about Islam is just another example of the mindless hypocrisy of the Islamists.

How many of the people who burnt effigies of the Pope and who participated in protests in the streets and calling for the extermination of the Pope have actually read what the Pope said?

The violent reactions of the protesters proved and confirmed beyond a doubt what the Pope was merely quoting about Islam the religion and its practitioners.

What is most laughable to me is the Prime Minister of Malaysia who has joined the chorus of other Islamists for the Pope to apologise. And just a few days after that call is made, I see on TV the Prime Minister sitting next to George W Bush and recieving praise and accolades for being a leader of a moderate Muslim country! What hypocrisy.

Any right thinking individual is aware of the almost daily vitriol that Muslim clerics, in most part of the Muslim world, spout against Jews, Christians and infidels. Countless video recordings of such vitriol can be found on YouTube.

Where are the protests and the violence associated with the vitriol spouted by Muslims against Jews and infidels? Is it because there is no such reaction from others that Muslims are so bold to spew such hatred and preach violence against others?

Islam, hypocrisy is thy name.

Speaking briefly on a visit to Wisconsin, Bush said the foiled plane plot was “a stark reminder that this nation is at war with Islamic fascists who will use any means to destroy those of us who love freedom, to hurt our nation.”

U.S. Muslim groups criticized Bush, saying his choice of words could inflame anti-Muslim tensions.

“The problem with the phrase is it attaches the religion of Islam to tyranny and fascism, rather than isolating the threat to a specific group of individuals,” said Edina Lekovic, spokeswoman for the Muslim Public Affairs Council in Los Angeles.

The truth hurts doesn’t it? It is about time that President Bush uses the correct term to describe the enemy.

Muslims who do not want to be associated with the fanatical Islamo-fascists should condemn them loud and clear every time an act of terror is committed by the Islamo-fascists. If the peaceful Muslims make it clear that they are against Islamic terrorism, then there is no reason for them to fear that there will be any kind of anti-Muslim sentiments against them.

The truth is, Islam the religion, cannot be overlooked or disassociated from the Islamo-fascists. They are the very ones who follow the letter of their religion. It is their religion that teaches them to destroy the Jews and the infidels.

And when has present day Islam not been associated with tyranny and fascism? In what Muslim country is there real freedom? They are either governed by dictators or dictatorial mullahs.

Call a spade a spade.
