How not to run a Counter-Extremism Think Tank

with 15 comments

 

The Quilliam Foundation are now so arrogant or so isolated that they have no concerns for their image among Muslim. I am still scratching my head. Why did they need to do this ? I mean. it does not help their cause to show the people that work for them . Aren’t they concerned about their image in front of Muslims ?  Of course they are not ! Was there going to be an expose ?

http://quilliamfoundation.org/people.html

They know very well that any Muslim reading profiles like this

… Head of Operations and graduated from Southampton University in 2002. For the next 6 years he pursued a military career, commissioning at the Royal Military Academy Sandhurst in 2003. During his service he reached the rank of Captain and managed over 100 soldiers and officers. He was deployed operationally to the Middle East several times experiencing and observing the effects of Al Qaeda terror cells first hand whilst conducting counter terrorist operations. These experiences drive him in his role at the Quilliam Foundation.  

would think that he some kind of spook! Whether it is true or not is irrelevant. As Mr Admani said

A person with military background with establishment contacts was access to see that material. How could we allow it ?

Richard Watson asked rhetorically  

You think that would have put you in  difficult position ?

He replied

Its not…., it would render the whole project illegitimate. Full stop.. “

 

(see from 1:33)

We know who they are concerned about and it isnt the Muslims. Ahhh, I know why this is a frank way to deal with “westophobia”. Not all C.V.’s like this deserve suspicion. It’s in the “paranoid” Islamist mindset.  You would think that the home office would be banging their heads against the wall. What in the world have we done ?

Ed Spends Tax Payers Money for “Social Cohesion “

with 12 comments

 

Ed has provided a report on the mosques in Britain and has given the same same alarmist agenda as those of the Centre of Social Cohesion and it’s parent Civitas.  The summary of his conclusions can be found here

http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/comment/columnists/guest_contributors/article5792445.ece?Submitted=true

Let us look at how this “wonderful” piece contributes to “social cohesion”. Imagine the BNP when they look at it. In fact, any innocent non-Muslim. I quote

Of the 27 or so Muslim seminaries or dar ul uloom in Britain, 25 come from the austere, Deobandi tradition – the preferred school of the Taleban. So while British soldiers risk their lives in Afghanistan, in British Muslim seminaries we allow the teaching of intolerance, unequal treatment of women, religious rigidity, the banning of music and theatre, and an end to free mixing of the sexes.

So the vast majority of Muslim seminaries in this country are the preferred school of the Taliban. In other words in the mosques we have “conveyor belts to terrorism”. I was particularly “terrified” by the banning of music and theatre! lol! Ok Ed, our fake paranoid middle class wannabe, you can send these  “evil mosques” a list of your favourite west end shows so that the Imam can take his children on an outing to “We Will Rock You”. The Imam can hold hands with them singing his favourite Freddie Mercury hymns. We could even make Nasheeds using themes from the songs of Queen!  Hmmm. Then we have the segregation of sexes in mosques! Really, has there ever been a mosque in history that does not do that? The Deobandis are to blame for this ? What in the world does this have to with tackling terrorism or even Islamism for Allah’s sake?  Now Muslim brothers and sisters, do you not think that the report laced with comments like this will even further alienate Muslims in this country? Don’t you think that Muslims would get more hostile to a British government that is funding projects with an agenda like this ? Note the actual report, that you can download from the Quilliam site is much more level headed then the ridiculous statements that Ed makes!

They have even infiltrated our prisons! I quote

Graduates of these highly conservative madrassas have taken up nearly 100 posts as chaplains in our prisons. Soon, they will move into mosques as English-speaking imams, without any understanding of British values of liberty, tolerance and pluralism.

Quickly the Taliban are in our Prisons on behalf of her Majesty the Queen Ha Ha! Sorry, I have to accurate, they hold beliefs that are the inspiration of the Taliban. Ed then asks this question

Two years ago the Government established a Mosques and Imam National Advisory Board and included Hamas supporters to win over radicals. What has it achieved?

We do not deny that things need to be improved in certain Mosques but this does not help. So let us answer the counter question ? What does your analysis achieve? You want Imams that go to West End shows (ok, ok, teach about theatre), that do not hold onto the “medievalist” Hanafi school of thought (or any Muslim school of thought for that matter ), and are against the segregation of sexes in Mosques (Your understanding of the problematic segregation Ed! The index that the methodology in the study uses is the female attendance of mosques! lol! Hardly an issue of concern for “Islamists” ). You may even want them to put on a fake posh accent. Maybe they can have names like Sam, Bob, or Tracy (hey whats wrong with female Imams right? We can’t dehumanise females!) .

Great, but unfortunately it is very unlikely to meet an Imam like this. In other words, this idea of tackling Islamism is a charade now and this foundation is now even out to demonise Muslims for certain agendas. Any Imam who is now shown this will never touch the Quilliam Foundation with a barge pole. Hey, we knew that anyway but the Government wants policies that work. (do they? ). I assume that interaction is a formal condition for this. Funding  Civitas inspired groups does not help. Allah help us when the Conservatives get into power! Ed and Maajid are a burden to what can be genuine cooperation between mosques and the government on a common good. When any Imam sees the comments of Ed he will run a mile, and will always think of the ulterior agenda of the Government especially when they are funding idiots like this.

The Idea of a Practising Muslim is an Innovation!

with 87 comments

 

On the Big Question today on the BBC we had a set up! Here was Douglas Murray, Maajid Nawaz and Anjum Choudry discussing whether Islam was an abhorrent religion . Anyway, it was funny to see Anjum Choudry and Maajid Nawaz shouting it out between each other. Maajid telling him that he was virtually a terrorist who supported the 9/11 terrorist attack on the United States and then in reply Anjum shouting that he was a Munafiq and an apostate destined to hell! Clearly it was good for television but not really good for social cohesion in this country. Especially when you have Douglas Murray taking this all in to prove his point. After all, Civitas which founded the Centre for Scoial Cohesion has published works that produce wonderful quotes like this. The benefits of  Immigration and “multiculturalism” are and  I quote

“….rather difficult to specify beyond a wider range of ethnic restaurants for the middle classes and new kinds of pop music”.

Leaving aside the charade of Maajid “defending” the Muslims, we had Maajid putting his foot in it again! He actually started out well against Anjum, given some of the basic errors he made! Unfortunately, Maajid has to ruin it for himself. After Anjum called him an apostate, the presenter asked Maajid (see from 9:55 on the clip inserted)

Are you a real Muslim ?

 

What did Maajid say ?

Well, I wouldn’t like to claim anything about myself. I hope God accepts me for who I am. I don’t think people should label each other or others. This whole term that Islamists have invented doesnt exist in the Quran about practising and non practising Muslims. This is an innovation. This word practising doesn’t exist in the scripture so I think the way in which they label people is very divisive.

 

 

 

He does not like labels like this! That is right, the label of being called a real Muslim! It seems to categorise him and he is not for that at all!  In fact he does not like to claim anything, that is right, anything for himself! Allah, in the end decides who I am (maybe he was being humble and was concerned about the ”real” nature of the heart lol!, a bit difficult if Islam is a relative concept )  !  Oh great, extreme Irj’aa strikes again. In fact, according to Maajid on that day Islam is what people make of it. In other words it is a culturally relative byproduct! Interesting, since in reply to  Sarah Joseph during the Doha Debate in Qatar we had an opposite reasoning.  She tells him about the  different definitions of Islamism. he replies that  their maybe different definitions of Islamism or Communism but it does not mean that they do not exist !  In other words, there is a core that is not culturally relative.  What inconsistent rubbish! Oh it gets worse (can it ?). According to Maajid the differentiation between a practising Muslim and a non practising Muslim is not in the Quran or Hadith and is in fact an innovation! Oh yeah, he blames it on the Islamists again! Would I even bother to ask him for a reference for this farcical claim ?

That is just funny! I think, Maajid’s take is not even innovative just idiotic. You just don’t know when to shut up do you?

The Advisors list is still up !

with 7 comments

 

Remember the spectre of the of the “Islamist-Wahabite” conspiracy that “threatened” and “harassed” their poor defenseless advisors. They had to protect them  and that is why they removed the advisors list. If this is true, then they are not very good at hiding the advisors. The link is not even in the archives and has not even been taken down! It proves that this whole thing was a charade to hide the fact that they had no popularity and were getting harassed by the advisors (themselves

http://www.quilliamfoundation.org/Advisors.htm

Note that this is the old list and we had quite a few scholars that were very angry because they had their names on it. These include Mufti Abu Laith, Shaikh Abdus Sabhan, and Shiekh Babikr! Now why would a link still be active with people who clearly do not want their names on that list ?  By the way, sources close to Usama Hassan now are saying that even he is having second thoughts! I am sure they would not be happy if they found out!

Quilliam Foundation, I am sure this is a “mistake” that you will correct. You must protect them  from the “evil ones”, you know.

A Draft of Contest 2 has been leaked. Well Done to the Quilliam Foundation. They are not Extremists!

with 27 comments

 

In an utter bizarre blunt policy the government has come out in the open. We do not interact with you as long as you are Muslim. Here is the link 

http://www.guardian.co.uk/politics/2009/feb/17/counterterrorism-strategy-muslims

According to the “leaked” report if you even say homosexuality is a sin then you are an extremist to be sidelined. Of course, we had Ed Husein commenting

“Violent extremism is produced by Islamist extremism and it’s only right to get into the root causes.”

We must remember that even homosexuality as a sin (we are not talking about the punishment) is a “medievalist” position according to Maajid Nawaz. They, in some “mysterious” way planned the foundation to utter the views of this “leaked” report. No “westophobia”, no “Caliphate”, no “Sharia law”, the sin of homosexuality is a “medievalist” position, and Israel does not engage in any state terrorism (it does not deliberately target civilians).

According to this leaked report even Abdul Hakim Murad, Dilwar Hussein, Aftab Malik, Nuh Amin Keller, Hamza Yusuf, Abdullah Bin Bayyah, Ali Goma, Habib Allah Jifri, obviously the Radical Middle Way, are all extremists to be sidelined. The goverment will also not provide funding.

Simply put, the government is thinking of throwing in the bin this whole notion of the “hearts and minds” and branding Islam as extremist. Certain elements  want an ideological war. lol! We will only talk to you if you leave Islam. 

This also could be a “kite flying” exercise as one internal source on counter-terroism said. We await the publication of the report next month, and if the government are stupid enough to include these points then they will have just shot themselves in the foot. Imagine this scenario, the government engages or provides funding for individuals and some journalist i.e. Richard Watson googles the statements of the said individual. Lo and behold he wants Sharia Law in Muslim countries, a Caliphate in Muslim countries and believes in a legitimate defense of Muslims against aggresive military targets.  He is an extremist! Unfortunately for the Government the body of Sunni orthodoxy believes in these views. Any Sunni that you engage with will be an extremist and the Government will end up engaging with no one.

Any comments ?

BAN SHEIKH QARDAWI AND LET GEERT WILDERS IN!

with 19 comments

Another stunt by these idiots that just oozes hypocrisy. The Quilliamites have issued a press release where they say:

The Quilliam Foundation has announced its opposition to the decision by the Home Office to ban Geert Wilders, the Dutch MP, from the UK. The Quilliam Foundation believes that although many of Wilders’ public statements are bigoted, ill-informed and offensive to people of all faiths, this is not an adequate reason to prevent him from coming to the UK. “

Now we remember the whole charade with Ed and Sheikh Qardawi when he tried to come to this country to get medical treatment:

http://www.thepeninsulaqatar.com/Display_news.asp?section=local_news&month=march2008&file=local_news200803041416.xml

Well, Geert Wilders who leads the notorious PVV party in Holland wants the Quran banned or at least half of the Quran torn out if Muslims want to stay in Netherlands. He considers our prophet a devil and also thinks that the book incites hatred and murder. I assume therefore any Muslim according to him who believes in the Quran and wants to convert people to Islam is inciting hatred and murder.

Now the Quilliam Foundation says do not ban him and let him in. We want to debate him so that we can show the Muslims in this country that we are defending Islam. We remember the last time Ed debated Ayan Hirsi Ali where he famously insulted the rulings of Islam and was not concerned if people considered him Non-Muslim! (all this in the name of the Maqasid ! ).

Personally I am not  here to discuss the ins and outs of whether he should be banned or not and Muslims in this country should be careful when certain people of the Islamophobic variety try to cause fitna for political gains. I am concerned about the reasons why they differentitate! Remember in the eyes of Ed Geert Wilders is on the same level as the Islam Expo event who are ”every bit as fascist as any far right party”. We are not concerned with accuracy here in terms of political views. Ed does not give us that courtesy. It is an issue of demonisation.

So why did he want to ban Sheikh Qardawi ?

I quote:

“He is a man who speaks two languages. There should be no exceptions in condemning the deaths of innocent people. When it comes to Jews, he thinks it is favourable to kill. It was right to refuse him a visa to the UK because his views have an audience there.”

Ahhh, I see but hold on, did they not invite Ali Goma to the launch of the Quilliam Foundation?  He does hold the same views as Sheikh Qardawi on  “martydom operations” in Israel despite what the idiot Maajid says! We even have a signed document from Ali Goma along with other Ulema from al Azhar supporting such activities.  We also have Ed saying this about someone he loves i.e. Jamal al Banna

“…..Jamal al Banna, Shiekh al Banna God bless him! His brother is sitting there in a room in Cairo, today 7/7 refuting everything that his brother stood for”

God bless him this Shiekh! He says! I assume he wouldnt mind inviting him to the UK to refute Islamism but lo and behold what are his views on “martydom operations” ? I quote Jamal al Banna:

“..When I say soldiers, the entire Israeli population is recruited, the women are the most vicious of them all , therefore from this angle it is allowed. I consider this martydom”

What a joke! Now, like I said, I do not believe in suicide operations and I think that Jamal al Banna’s view on civilians is problematic but what about Ed and his sidekick Maajid ? Oh yeah, we cannot forget that Maajid thinks that the Israeli state has not engaged in any state terrorism in Gaza! In fact they never intentionally target innocent civilians!  Simply put, this is their policy.

Let nasty, Islamophobic people in, allow “anti-Islamists” who believe in martydom operations in , do not let Islamists who believe in martydom operations in. Let Israeli war criminals in.  Be confused about HT.

Yeah the Quilliamites are as clear as the sun! Thank God they do not deal with immigration.

Sell-out humiliation – Hassan Butt

with 5 comments

When you humiliate yourself for money – this is where you fall to:

http://www.guardian.co.uk/uk/2009/feb/09/uksecurity-july7

Butt was arrested in 2008 over his planned autobiography Leaving Al Qaeda: Inside The Life And Mind of a British Jihadist, in which he was planning to claim involvement in the US consulate attack in Karachi, Pakistan, in June 2002, which killed 12 people.

The book was being co-authored by freelance journalist Shiv Malik, who became a media cause celebre after counter terrorism officers demanded he hand over his notes.

But in court Butt agreed he had taken Malik for a “right patsy”.

Cross-examined by Andrew Edis QC, prosecuting, Butt was asked: “So, you were a professional liar then?

Butt replied: “I would make money, yes.”

Edis continued: “If the money’s right you’ll say absolutely anything?”

“Absolutely anything, yes,” Butt said, “If I wasn’t going to cash up on it, someone else was going to cash up on it.”

That someone else is of course the gang of quilliamites and shiraz maher

He went on to hold talks with former security minister Tony McNulty who Butt said “absolutely loved” his ideas on reforming radicals.

Sound familiar?

He confessed he had also stabbed himself in the arm to make it appear as if he had been attacked by extremists for speaking out against violence.

Speaking of Malik, Butt told the jury: “I guess he wanted to make his career out of the back of my story. Many people were making a career out of being former radicals. I had to take it one step further and actually say I was a terrorist, which wasn’t true.

Ahhh – many people making careers out of it

Lets hope their careers are not as short lived as yours butt eh

Otherwise who would we have to expose, laugh at and unify against??

the QF have proven to be the biggest self-defeating government project with respect to the muslim community to date.
The higher you fly the harder you fall. Butt didn’t fly very high at all, what will become of these stooges?

Just like Butt spun a line he thought that would ingratiate him to the authorities, these quilliamite heretics have been falling over themselves to parrot whatever the government line is both privately and publicly. not good if you are supposed to be an “adviser” surely?? No grassroots support, no academic integrity, no personal integrity either for that matter!!

Ed and his merry gang of sidekicks – beware – you have already been exposed as the servile pathetic gang of liars and opportunists you are, only in it for the sake of a salary, its just a matter of time before it all comes crashing down. That will make butt’s humiliation look small in comparison

Letter from EdNerd Hussein, MajEd Nawaz and the Rev Uthman Hussain to the British Government

with 8 comments

Another spoof letter doing the rounds (also modified it a bit to add the even more ludicrous views of this foundation of Kufr!), which tells what was really between the lines of recent overtures to the British Government during the barbaric assault on our brothers and sisters in Gaza.

“Dear Prime Minister,

We are a group of avowedly anti-extremist “Muslims” who have been  honoured  to work alongside the government as part of its Preventing Violent  Extremism agenda. This has been not least because of the pots of money  that has been so kindly and generously made available to us to implement  PVE, not to mention the wonderful free all-expenses-paid trips abroad we  have been treated to by the Foreign Office and its Projecting British  Islam unit.

We have been delighted to visit Cairo, Alexandria, Islamabad, Jakarta, Tehran, Istanbul etc and be able to tell their people’s about how  wonderfully and fairly our justice-loving government acts towards  Muslims. And, of course, we never ever mention Iraq or Afghanistan! God forbid.

Unfortunately we have to write to you today because we are slightly concerned about what is happening in Gaza. Well, just to expand on that  a teensy bit, we are concerned that the government’s ongoing refusal to clearly condemn Israel is leaving us more than a little exposed as being cheap opportunistic stooges .

Please can you do something to alleviate our embarrassment because we are worried that the pictures of dead and bloodied children that are continuously coming out of Gaza will serve to create great anger in  Muslim communities. Again, as we are friends, let us be more frank. We  are petrified that these pictures will create great anger in Muslim  communities against us. We signed up to receiving PVE dosh and free  trips abroad, not to being publicly scorned as being ‘money-grubbing  morons who are manipulated by the government.’

We urge you to call on Israel to try and improve the conditions in the Occupied Territories just a little bit. Let us be clear: We are  certainly not calling for the condenmation of the war crimes of Israel because after all Israel never intentionally targets civilians. They are all near misses No, no. After all, we are not  Islamists, ha-ha!

Yours

Ednerd Hussein

MajEd Nawaz

Reverand Uthman Hussain

Assortment of other sellouts and easy rides”

The Abolishment of the Quilliamite Ottoman Fiasco

with 110 comments

This is a new article that has been written in response to the Quilliamite claim that the Islamic Criminal code was  and I quote

……explicitly repealed by leading Muslim theologians of the then capital of the abolished Caliphate in Istanbul …

You can see the full article here – munafiq QF sloppy academia

In fact, they claim that there was an Ijma of the Ottoman Ulema in a certain time period on this. What was the reality? Well, it is safe to say that the Hudud was not repealed, there was no Ijma on this and in fact the  major Ottoman Ulema refused to even abolish the Apostasy law.

This article is quite large so I have attached it as a PDF format

It will also be added to the refutation section

The Abolishment of the Quilliamite Ottoman Fiasco

The article has been revised with some minor changes ( 20/2/2009 )
