Salman Rushdie: world learned “wrong lessons” from his Iran fatwa

July 23, 2015 – By Robert Spencer

“The writer said that the controversy that surrounded the PEN prize to Charlie Hebdo this year convinced him that, if the attacks against ‘The Satanic Verses’ had occurred today, ‘these people would not come to my defence and would use the same arguments against me by accusing me of insulting an ethnic and cultural minority.’”

Indeed so. That was what happened after our free speech event in Garland, Texas: the international media, including many “conservatives” such as Bill O’Reilly and Laura Ingraham, excoriated Pamela Geller and declared that she should have shown more “respect” — which really meant that she should have submitted in fear, as they were doing.

The freedom of speech is seriously imperiled, and most Americans have bought into the idea that “hate speech,” which they assume to be an entity that can be objectively established, does not deserve protection. They have no idea that they’re thereby paving the way for authoritarianism and totalitarianism.

“Salman Rushdie says the world learned the ‘wrong lessons’ from his Iran fatwa ordeal,” Agence France-Presse, July 22, 2015: More than a quarter century after being slapped with a fatwa fromIran [sic] calling for his murder over his book “The Satanic Verses”, Salman Rushdie says the world has learned the “wrong lessons” about freedom of expression.

The Mahdi: Islam’s Awaited Messiah

Among the Major Signs, the most anticipated and central sign that Muslims are awaiting is the coming of a man known as, “The Mahdi.”  In Arabic, al-Mahdi means, “The Guided One” 1 He is also sometimes referred to by Shi’a Muslims as Sahib Al-Zaman or  Al-Mahdi al-Muntadhar which translated mean “The Lord of the Age” and “The Guided/Awaited One.”  The Mahdi is the first of the Major Signs.  This is confirmed by Ibn Kathir, the renowned Muslim scholar from the eighth century:

After the lesser signs of the Hour appear and increase, mankind will have reached a stage of great suffering.  Then the awaited Mahdi will appear; He is the first of the greater clear, signs of the Hour.2

The coming of the Mahdi is the central crowning element of all Islamic end-time narratives.  So central to Islamic eschatological expectations is the coming of the Mahdi, that some Muslim scholars do not even refer to “the Minor Signs” as such, but instead, refer to them as, “The signs accompanying the Mahdi”. 3 While there are some variations of belief between the Sunni and Shia’ sects of Islam and while certain quarters of Sunnis reject him altogether, general belief in the Mahdi is not a sectarian issue within Islam, but is universal among most Muslims.  According to Shaykh Muhammad Hisham Kabbani, chairman of the Islamic Supreme Council of America:

The coming of the Mahdi is established doctrine for both Sunni and Shi’a Muslims, and indeed for all humanity 4

2) Top URGENT. Please call the Fiona Stanley Hospital (08 6152 4013) and the Perth Children’s Hospital (1800 303 303) to state your protest against the ‘Muslim only prayer room’.

Following are some questions you can ask them.

Why a Muslim only prayer room, while all the others have to use the interfaith prayer room? Where did you get the funding from?

Isn’t this discrimination against all other faiths? Who gave the approval for this prayer room? What is their response to your complaint?

Please be very nice to them, but also be very firm. Don’t let them get away giving you any excuses. This is very important.

3) We praise and thank God for His wonderful hand at work over the last weekend in Perth (WA), as Ps Daniel and his team from Melbourne spoke and ministered at 5 meetings on Friday, Saturday & Sunday.

Many people attended the meetings and were greatly blessed.

On Friday night the RUAP meeting was addressed by National President Daniel Nalliah and WA State President Anthony Hardwick.

Several unchurched people came to the meeting and stated, “we never knew that there are such passionate Christians who love Australia and have the guts to stand up for what they believe in.”

In the plane, at the airport, in the shopping centres, people were so very open to hear the message and some commented, “if we don’t stand up now, it will be too late”.

Take Christian & Yazidi refugees says RUAP Dr Daniel Nalliah

FOR URGENT RELEASE – WEDNESDAY 9th SEPTEMBER 2015

Rise Up Australia Party would formally welcome Syrian, Iraqi and Yazidi refugees who are fair dinkum.

This goes without saying.

https://youtu.be/tmmOrbqd90I

From his Melbourne office this morning, Party President Daniel Nalliah stated: “I am proud of Australia’s long term policy of acceptance of the tired and broken and starving refugee. However, I am also not a mug. Contrary to the overwhelming media bias, I believe the most persecuted people, and children, in the entire Middle East are not the Red Cross mocking, agents of ‘Allah Akbar’ breaking Europe’s borders, one after another, but the Christian and Yazidi.

We should first and foremost, as has been suggested by Julie Bishop, Cory Bernardi and the P.M. himself, be giving favour to these aforementioned groups as they have zero Homeland status and on arriving in Australia would have near zero risk of becoming ‘radicalised’.”

RUAP MEDIA RELEASE: PUBLIC RALLY TO PROTEST “MOSLEM ONLY” PRAYER ROOM IN WEST AUSTRALIAN HOSPITALS

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE –  TUESDAY 1st SEPTEMBER 2015

From the W.A today, “A group of West Australian MPs has called for Christian symbols to be permitted in prayer rooms in Perth’s two new hospitals alongside prayer rooms built to cater for the Muslim faith.

‘After all, our tradition here is a Christian country and, while not everyone shares that faith, tradition is we are Judeo-Christian sort of country. Let’s acknowledge that’.”

Media Release – IF PREMIER ANDREWS ABOLISHES RELIGIOUS INSTRUCTION IN SCHOOLS, WE DEMAND REMOVAL OF ALL HALAL PRODUCTS FROM THE SCHOOL TUCK SHOP!

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE –  THURSDAY 27th AUGUST 2015

“VICTORIA” IS FAST BECOMING A MISNOMER FOR AUSTRALIA’S SECOND STATE; TRADITIONALLY OUR MOST CONSERVATIVE AND EDUCATED.

The only victories for the Garden state are those of the ALP “Stalinist regime”, as recently quipped by our Prime Minister. The Victorian Labor government has announced that SRI, the special religious instruction program will be dropped from classes at the start of 2016.

Boss Andrews has consulted neither the parent, teacher nor chaplaincy nor any religious group, with this red letter, bad decision.

Rise Up Australia Party leader Daniel Nalliah is struck by the rapid disintegration of our Christian values in what has always been a Christian nation:

“Generally, the blind acceptance of Islamic demands is very dangerous” Mr Nalliah said from his Melbourne office.

“The double standards of political correctness are staggering. A vocal, potentially brutal, minority have almost stolen Christmas”.

Absence of the Bible and religious instruction willingly volunteers our schoolchildren as cannon fodder for, inter alia, U.N. Agenda 21.

IT IS HYPOCRITICAL OF PREMIER ANDREWS TO REMOVE OUR JUDEO-CHRISTIAN HERITAGE FROM SCHOOLS WHILST ALLOWING THE NEAR MONOPOLY OF RELIGIOUS ITEMS IN SCHOOL TUCK SHOPS SUCH AS HALAL FOOD! BAH HUMBUG!

Great meetings in Darwin

Dear family & friends in Christ,

Ps Daniel spoke and ministered with his team this past weekend from Friday to Monday at several meetings in Darwin at a public hall, hotel, church and parliament.

Many who came for the meetings were greatly impacted to hear his message on “Why Christians should stand up for government.”

On Sunday at church the mighty presence of the Holy Ghost swept through the place as Ps Daniel shared the Word of God and led in worship and intercession.

Many people from other churches came to the meetings and were greatly blessed. Some stated, “We have never experienced anything like this ever before in Darwin.” Oh glory to God it was a great weekend!

People came to the altar weeping, asking more of God. Ps Merv the Senior Minister of the church, and a very well respected man of God stated, “Truly, God has sent this man (Ps Daniel) into Australia for an hour such as this to stand in the gap for our nation.”

Several people joined RUA Party understanding the importance of Christians having a voice in parliament.

Ps Daniel stated, “I thank and praise God for giving me this wonderful opportunity to serve Him in my nation Australia. I know Australia will turn back to Jesus. I also thank God for giving us the opportunity to go right inside parliament and intercede for our nation. It was just wonderful”.

Thank you Jan and all the team (our coordinator for NT) for doing a great job in standing in the gap for NT.”

UK: Muslim convert to Christianity persecuted for 19 years

July 2, 2015 – By Raymond Ibrahim

Nissar Hussain, a former Muslim from Pakistan who converted to Christianity in 1996, recently wrote a letter to his local MP recounting some of the violence, abuse, and other attacks that he and his wife and their six children have suffered at the hands of Muslims in the Bradford area where they live. Written to his MP—a Muslim, who did not respond—the letter follows:

Dear Naseem Shah MP,

Can I congratulate you on behalf of myself and family on your stunning victory and we can’t express our delight as our newly elected MP for the Ward of Manningham and wish you every success for the future. On a serious note can I express our utter misery and dire situation as Christian converts from a Mirpuri/Muslim background since 1996 [Mirpuri is a region in Pakistan].

We were forced out of our previous home after over several years of suffering as converts and in short my family and I endured ‘hell’ by my fellow Pakistani young men in the form of persecution which entailed assault, daily intimidation, criminal damage to property: smashing house windows and also 3 vehicles written off whilst the community looked on and even endorsed this. One of vehicles was torched outside my home. Despite witnessing another vehicle being rammed deliberately by a man who I knew, the Police did not even take a statement never mind an arrest. Finally after being threatened to be burnt out of my home these young men deliberately set the neighbours’ house (which was vacant) on fire in the hopes that our house would catch fire. When I had reported it to Police prior to this happening the Police sergeant’s response was: “Stop trying to be a crusader and move out!” In short the Police had wilfully failed us so as not to be labelled racists or seem to cause the Muslim community offence at our suffering and expense.

‘Religion of peace’ is not a harmless platitude

17 January 2015 – Douglas Murray– The Spectator

The West’s movement towards the truth is remarkably slow. We drag ourselves towards it painfully, inch by inch, after each bloody Islamist assault.

In France, Britain, Germany, America and nearly every other country in the world it remains government policy to say that any and all attacks carried out in the name of Mohammed have ‘nothing to do with Islam’. It was said by George W. Bush after 9/11, Tony Blair after 7/7 and Tony Abbott after the Sydney attack last month. It is what David Cameron said after two British extremists cut off the head of Drummer Lee Rigby in London, when ‘Jihadi John’ cut off the head of aid worker Alan Henning in the ‘Islamic State’ and when Islamic extremists attacked a Kenyan mall, separated the Muslims from the Christians and shot the latter in the head. And, of course, it is what President François Hollande said after the massacre of journalists and Jews in Paris last week.

All these leaders are wrong. In private, they and their senior advisers often concede that they are telling a lie. The most sympathetic explanation is that they are telling a ‘noble lie’, provoked by a fear that we — the general public — are a lynch mob in waiting. ‘Noble’ or not, this lie is a mistake. First, because the general public do not rely on politicians for their information and can perfectly well read articles and books about Islam for themselves. Secondly, because the lie helps no one understand the threat we face. Thirdly, because it takes any heat off Muslims to deal with the bad traditions in their own religion. And fourthly, because unless mainstream politicians address these matters then one day perhaps the public will overtake their politicians to a truly alarming extent.

Prepare for Muslim extremism as we prepared for WW2 says former defence chief

By Hannah Furness, Ben Farmer and Matthew Holehouse – 23 June 2015

Britain must stop “sleepwalking” and prepare to tackle Muslim extremism as seriously as it planned for the Second World War, a former head of the Armed Forces has warned.

Lord Richards of Herstmonceux said extremism poses a “real threat” to the world and condemned dithering politicians too reluctant to lead the way.

Warning that Islamic State militants would wreak a “hell of a lot of damage” in the coming years, he argued the Armed Forces risk being left “on the back foot” by leaders who fail to plan properly.

“I think the problem is that we have not seen that we need to approach this issue of Muslim extremism as we might approach World War Two back in the 30s,” the former Chief of the Defence Staff said.

“This is a real threat to us and we’re sleepwalking in the way we’re approaching it.”

Pakistan’s government won’t abolish blasphemy law because it “fears the reaction of extremists”

June 25, 2015 By Robert Spencer – Jihad Watch

All over the world, the principle is being reinforced: terrorism works. To get what you want, threaten violence, and the “free world” will jump to comply with your wishes.

And Archbishop Coutts’ brother bishops in the U.S. are pursuing an illusory and self-defeating “dialogue” even to the extent of silencing those voices that speak honestly about the root causes of the Muslim persecution of Christians. They are heading the Church in the West off a cliff, and will bear the responsibility for that.

“Pakistan’s ‘fear of extremists’ prevents abolition of blasphemy law,” by Felipe Avillez and Abigail Frymann Rouch, The Tablet, June 24, 2015:

The Government of Pakistan might be willing to abolish the country’s draconian blasphemy law, if it were not for the fact that it “fears the reaction of extremists”, the President of the Pakistani Bishops’ Conference said.

More Muslims from Britain trained as terrorists than ever before, says MI5

June 12, 2015  By Robert Spencer

MI5 apparently refers to them as “Britons.” The Telegraph certainly does. Neither one shows any indication of realizing that none — absolutely none — of these Islamic jihadis has anything but contempt for Britain, and none — absolutely none — of them think of themselves as “Britons.” British authorities should be asking themselves why, after all their pandering, all their accommodation, all their demonization of opponents of jihad terror, they have more jihad terror than ever. But that is the one question they will not and dare not ask.

“More Britons trained as terrorists than ever before, says MI5,” by Tom Whitehead, Telegraph, June 11, 2015:

There are more Britons trained in terrorism than at any point in the country’s history in a growing threat to national security, MI5 has warned.

The Security Service said the number of UK-linked suspects involved in or exposed to terror training or fighting with fanatics is “unprecedented”.
