Muslims in Australia 10 times more likely to die waging jihad in Syria than serving in the military

Robert Spencer – Jihad Watch

In the Australian military, as in the American military, Islam is a protected topic. No one dares utter a critical word for fear of charges of “Islamophobia” and the attendant career ruin. The most shameful examples of this were the strongly favorable performance reviews given to the Fort Hood jihad mass murderer, Nidal Malik Hasan, even after it was abundantly clear that he was a jihadist and many of his colleagues were threatened by his behavior.

“Criticising Islam, gays sets army major up for a fall,” by Paul Sheehan for the Sydney Morning Herald, March 17:

Major Bernie Gaynor jnr has served three tours of duty in Iraq but he is going to be thrown out of the army this week, or next, or very soon. And he is not going quietly.

Last week, I attended a conference in Melbourne called the Symposium on Islam and Liberty in Australia, organised by the Q Society, and Gaynor was one of the speakers. I also interviewed him at length about why a patriotic, articulate Australian intelligence officer, now serving in the Army Reserve, has become an unbearable presence for the Chief of Army, among others.

In his blog, Gaynor describes himself as ”a conservative Catholic who writes what normal men dare not speak out loud”. I put it to him that his commentary online and on Twitter had evolved into a provocation to the army.

New study: wealthy, better educated Muslims more likely to wage jihad

Robert Spencer – Jihad Watch

This study makes a statement that is absurd on its face when it says that “religious practice” plays no role in “violent radicalization,” when in reality we have seen time and time again that jihad terrorists are devout, observant Muslims who appeal to peaceful Muslims by invoking the Qur’an and the example of Muhammad and portraying themselves as the true Muslims. But nonetheless, this study debunks once again one of the core assumptions of the Washington foreign policy establishment: that poverty causes terrorism, and that therefore throwing money at the problem of jihad will make it go away.

“Risk factors for violent radicalization: youth, wealth and education,” from Medical News Today, March 21 (thanks to LA):

New research from Queen Mary University of London has found youth, wealth, and being in full-time education to be risk factors associated with violent radicalisation. Contrary to popular views – religious practice, health and social inequalities, discrimination, and political engagement showed no links.

The pioneering research assessed population prevalence of sympathies for terrorist acts – a key marker of vulnerability to violent radicalisation – and their relationship with commonly assumed causes of radicalisation. The community study surveyed over 600 men and women of Pakistani, Bangladeshi and Muslim heritage in London and Bradford, aged 18-45.

Pakistan’s blasphemy law used to “kill innocent Christians without giving them a chance to prove their innocence”

Robert Spencer– Jihad Watch

Savan Masih was accused of blasphemy after a Muslim barber, who no doubt considered him an unclean Infidel (in accord with Qur’an 9:28), refused him a haircut, and they started to argue about religion. Following that, a 3,000-strong Muslim mob rampaged through a Christian area of Lahore. And no Savan Masih, if convicted, will be executed.

“NEWS ALERT: Verdict Expected In Pakistan Blashemy [sic] Case,” from BosNewsLife, March 21:

LAHORE, PAKISTAN (BosNewsLife)– A verdict was expected in Pakistan Saturday, March 22, in a controversial case involving a young Christian man charged with blasphemy against Islam, which sparked one of the country’s worst anti-Christian riots.

Savan Masih, 27, was detained in March 2013 after allegedly making derogatory remarks about Islam’s Prophet Muhammad.

Residents said the problems began when Masih was refused a hair cut by the local barber shop’s Muslim owner, Imran Shahid. The incident triggered a heated exchange about religion between the two men, residents said at the time.

RUAP Media Release: A selfless Federal Budget affects the selfish mind set We must think of our children and grandchildren – If not we might have to depend on Islamic Sharia Finance

Rise Up Australia PartyGeneral Immediate Media Release 27th May 2014

Today from his office in Melbourne the National President of RUAP, Daniel Nalliah, called on people in Australia not to be selfish but instead to be selfless.

He stated, “in the past 2 weeks I have been watching many protesting the Federal Budget. Let me ask you a question, ‘Why are you protesting against the budget??

Is it because you are being led by organised gangs in Universities and Unions? Is it the media hype? Is it because you are a member of the opposition (Labor or Greens, etc.)?

Or, is it simply because we are so selfish?’

One of Rise Up Australia Party’s election campaign policies was to ‘Keep Australia debt free’. So how can we do it, and more importantly why should we do it??

I took a good look at the federal budget over the past few days and realised, that this is quite a hard hitting budget for our back pocket, but it is worth paying the price in order to Keep Australia debt free. Unfortunately, we also have very short memories. Whenever Labor takes office they dole out large sums of money, which they have promised to give before elections, in order to get elected. Perhaps, we can call it a bribe. Then of course they do what they are very good at doing, guess what?? Run the country into debt.

The Coalition Government (Liberal & National) have a reputation of putting the country back in order by cleaning up the mess Labor & Greens have created. But this is hard work. It does not come with bags of lollies, or claps and cheers.

Well, the budget is hard hitting, but let’s be self-sacrificing and think of our children and grandchildren. Are you willing to pay the price now?? Or are you going to leave our country in a mess for them??

What is most interesting is the creeping in of Islamic Sharia Finance into the Western world. Today the West is in debt to the Middle East, in particular Saudi Arabia, which demands the promotion of Islam (the worst type of Islam known as Sunni / Wahhabism) in return for their petro dollars.

“My name is Layla Murad. I left Islam in April 2013”

Here is a fascinating and illuminating exposition of the journey of a mind, as a young Muslim woman explores and examines Islam, and ultimately decides to leave it altogether.

Her exercise of her freedom of conscience in this way has placed her life in perpetual danger, thanks to Islam’s death penalty for apostasy — an outrage to human rights that is greeted only with indifference by the world “human rights community.”

“My Journey In and Out of Islam,” by Layla Murad at Desperately Seeking Paradise, December 28, 2013:

1. Introduction

My name is Layla Murad. I left Islam in April 2013.

I’ve always been intellectually curious. My story is a long one. A lot of my infatuation with Islam was to do with my inquisitive nature… and of course… the internet.

2. Background

I was brought up in a practising but liberal Muslim household. My parents are Pakistanis, both hailing from Muhajir families in Karachi. Even the most religious among the Muhajirs are often highly progressive and secular minded when it comes to politics and global affairs. My aunt in Pakistan, for example, who started wearing niq?b after the death of her paralysed daughter, has the same zeal for Farhat Hashmi (a popular female Wahhabi preacher) as she does for the secular, ethno-centric policies of the MQM.

Islam was not an obvious, nor a quietist force in my life. It was just there…I didn’t, nor did anyone else, think too much about it. My parents were the kind of people who would be willing to drop me to a nightclub and pick me up again. Yet, they attributed the good in life to the One God, prayed five times a day, fasted during the month of Ramadan, gave charity. I saw my dad make the Hajj. The Islam that had been passed on to me was the basics: the Five Pillars.

But this approach had always seemed bland. I wanted something more….

Islamizing Britain’s Schools

April 1, 2014 by Bruce Bawer – Frontpage Mag

Real Muslims understand the critical importance of teaching the young. The critical importance, that is, of teaching them the “right” things and not teaching them the “wrong” things. The most important single element of stealth Islamization is the effort to convert Western schools from centers of secular education into hubs of Islamic indoctrination. Fortunately, there are plenty of dhimmi teachers and school administrators eager to help out, convinced that they’re serving the interests of multicultural peace and harmony. These days, for some reason, this form of dhimmitude seems to be most prevalent – and to take its acutest form – in England.

Take, for example, Lynn Small, headmistress of a state elementary school in Huntington, England, who last November wrote a letter to parents of fourth- and sixth-grade students warning that if they didn’t let their children attend an “Explore Islam” workshop at Staffordshire University, a “Racial Discrimination” note would be placed in the kids’ permanent records. Fortunately, parents kicked up a fuss, and the media took notice, and Small backtracked – kind of – while still insisting that since some of the school’s “pupils and teachers…belong to the Islam faith,” it was only “right for the children to understand and appreciate their faith as well as their own.”

Obviously, Small realized she’d miscalculated. Slightly. Apparently there were no repercussions for her. She still has her job, and there’s no indication that school authorities even put a note in her permanent record chiding her for making Stalinist-type threats against parents. No, her heart was plainly in the right place, as far as the British educational establishment is concerned – she just went about things the wrong way, confronting parents directly instead of taking a more crafty approach.

Sharia in action in Syria: Jihadists kill, crucify man for “purposely killing a Muslim to take his money”

Indeed, the penalty for those who wage war against Allah and His Messenger and strive upon earth [to cause] corruption is none but that they be killed or crucified or that their hands and feet be cut off from opposite sides or that they be exiled from the land. That is for them a disgrace in this world; and for them in the Hereafter is a great punishment.” — Qur’an 5:33

Note that the accusation specifies that he purposefully killed a Muslim. This is because the Qur’an also says: “And never is it for a believer to kill a believer except by mistake” (4:92). If he had killed a non-Muslim, he might have been able to justify the deed on Islam’s sharp dichotomy between believers and unbelievers, and command to be “merciful to unbelievers, but ruthless to unbelievers” (48:29).

Blindfolded, shot in the head and strung up on a crucifix for all to see, the body of a suspected murderer is paraded in a town square for people to take pictures on mobile phones.

Great presence of God in Sydney / Passover dinner

Speaking in PenrithMinistering in BlaxlandDear family & friends in Christ,

1) We thank and praise God for a wonderful time of ministry in Sydney over the past weekend. Pr Daniel along with a team from CTFM ministered in Plumpton, Penrith and Blaxland in Sydney at YWAM, also in a Brethren church and a Full Gospel church.  People who came for the meetings were mightily touched by God’s word and the powerful testimonies of what God is doing in Australia in this hour.

One lady stated, “I was wondering whether or not to come for one of the meetings, but thank God I ended up coming for all 3 meetings. I was challenged and now I feel so uplifted up and encouraged.” Many young people who were at the meetings were also greatly impacted.

There was two main high lights of the meeting:

Passover dinner at CTFMWorshipping the Lord at Passover1) A young girl shared with us that her mother had wanted to abort her, but because someone was willing to adopt her, praise God she was not aborted and lived. This young girl was so happy that Pr Daniel has been advocating for people to be given greater access for adoption.  This should encourage people not to abort in Australia. She also told us that her adoptive parents went through a very hard time to get the rights to adopt her.

Australia: Muslim who married 13-year-old girl has bail refused over child sex charges

Australia Muslim who married 13-year-old girl has bail refused over child sex chargesRobert Spencer Feb 7, 2014 – www.jihadwatch.org

Despite the abundant attestation for child marriage in Islamic law, most non-Muslims remain completely ignorant of it, because Islamic apologists in the West routinely deny that it exists, insisting that Aisha was 18 when Muhammad married her, and claiming that the incidence of child marriage in Muslim countries is due solely to cultural factors (they hope you don’t notice that those cultures are Islamic).

Those who point out that child marriage will come West with Muslim immigrants receive in response only ridicule and scorn as “bigots” and “Islamophobes.” But note that this story is from Australia, not Yemen or Iran or Saudi Arabia. And while Ahmad Chamma has been prosecuted, watch for pressure to amount to lower the legal marriage age, on the grounds of “multiculturalism” and “tolerance.”

Few things are more abundantly attested in Islamic law than the permissibility of child marriage. Islamic tradition records that Muhammad’s favorite wife, Aisha, was six when Muhammad wedded her and nine when he consummated the marriage:

“The Prophet wrote the (marriage contract) with Aisha while she was six years old and consummated his marriage with her while she was nine years old and she remained with him for nine years (i.e. till his death)” (Bukhari 7.62.88).

John Kerry, Jihad Coddler

By Michelle MalkinJewish World Review Jan. 17, 2014/ 16 Shevat, 5774

The myth of the poor, oppressed jihadist never dies. U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry is the latest Obama administration official to peddle this odious narrative. Cue John Lennon’s cloying “Imagine,” don your plaid pajamas, and curl up with a warm cup of deadly naivete.

While meeting with Catholic Church officials at the Vatican in Rome on Monday, Kerry expounded on their “huge common interest in dealing with this issue of poverty, which in many cases is the root cause of terrorism or even the root cause of the disenfranchisement of millions of people on this planet.” In other words: If only every al-Qaida and Taliban recruit had a fraction of Kerry’s $200 million fortune, they’d all be frolicking peacefully with infidels on jet skis sporting “Coexist” bumper stickers.

This wasn’t a one-off. Kerry delivered a similar Kumbaya-style discourse at the Global Counterterrorism Forum last fall: “Getting this right isn’t just about taking terrorists off the street. It’s about providing more economic opportunities for marginalized youth at risk of recruitment.” Naturally, the Foggy Bottom apple doesn’t fall far from the Pennsylvania Avenue terror-excusing tree. President Obama subscribes to the very same “midnight basketball” theory of counterterrorism. In the immediate aftermath of 9/11, Obama asserted that jihad “grows out of a climate of poverty and ignorance, helplessness and despair.”
