From another US Embassy Cable released by Wikileaks we find:
“Saudi Arabia is the world’s largest source of funds for Islamist militant groups such as the Afghan Taliban and Lashkar-e-Taiba – but the Saudi government is reluctant to stem the flow of money, according to Hillary Clinton….Donors in Saudi Arabia constitute the most significant source of funding to Sunni terrorist groups worldwide,” she said…Three other Arab countries are listed as sources of militant money: Qatar, Kuwait and the United Arab Emirates”.

“What thou hast done to thyself none else did,
Thou has caused pain to the spirit of the Prophet
Ignorant of the witchery of the Frank (the west),
Behold the mischief hidden in his sleeve!
By his diplomacy all nations prostrate,
Unity of the Arabs crushed to pieces,
As long as they are caught in his vicious trap,
The Arabs shall not enjoy a moment’s peace.”
–- Muhammad Iqbal, famed Pakistani Poet, “The Glory of Iqbal”, by Shakyh Abdul-Hanan Ali Nadwi
“None will grasp the message (Qur’an) but men of intellect” (Qur’an: 2:269)
The Dark Ages and the Age of Ignorance have descended upon the Muslim world much like a powerful tornado that rips and destroys everything in its path. The tornado in question is not an external force but resides in the minds and hearts of ruling tyrants and the terrorists they support, fund, and direct to do their evil bidding and savage understanding of Islam.
For the last one hundred years Arabs have not produced a single marketable product, except for one – Arab on Arab wars and conflicts. Arab tyrants preferred fighting each other, often as proxies in the Cold War or to preserve their fiefdoms, rather than fighting their true enemy – Israel.
Terrorism was initially introduced into the Middle East by Zionist terrorist groups such as the Irgun and Stern Gangs; but today the Arabs and Muslims have adopted and improved on their terrorism that has turned the Arab world into a basket case of death and destruction. Muslims killing Muslims – and these terrorist regimes and their sponsored terrorist groups are today claiming to represent true Islam.
These are indeed the worst of times for the Arab and Muslim world. Not a day goes by that the news doesn’t start with acts of terror, mass killings, coups and coup attempts, and the non-stop destruction of their own nations, and for what, no one really knows given that these regimes and their terrorist gangs have never announced any political, economic, or development agenda.
Their sole announced goal is to establish Islamic law in nation they are terrorizing and killing. They speak of creating an Islamic state under Shariah law upon those who are still alive.
Such a claim, despite their massive ignorance, stupidity, and illiteracy of Shariah will only manifest itself in the Un-Islamic strict oppression of women, such as preventing their education, joining the labor force, holding public office, on how they dress, that is if they allow them to leave their homes, go out in public, how they speak, if allowed, and the like.
Such “Islamic Shariah” states will simply be fascist states with Gestapo religious police seeking women to beat, humiliate, imprison, rape, torture, and even behead for the smallest infraction.
These animals have no place in Islam or the Muslim world. The Muslim world despites and rejects them totally and God willing the Muslim world itself will rise and eliminate these regimes and terrorist gangs
Only highly educated, qualified, specialized Scholars in Islam and Shariah are qualified to interpret and advise on Shariah Law. Out of 1.8 Billion Muslims there are perhaps only a few hundred scholars who meet these criteria. Muslim leaders and the Muslim population are totally uninformed on Shariah. That’s what makes the Zionist motivated fearmongering campaign in the west that Muslims seek to establish Shariah law in the west so laughable and so tragic. Yet one can’t blame their fear and apprehension of the subject given what their only understanding of Shariah emanates from news reports of Muslim terrorists demanding Shariah law in the very nations they are terrorizing and killing innocent civilians. They also only hear of Saudi Arabia, the Taliban, Pakistan, and the Sudan beheading men and women or cutting off their hands for stealing and claim they are following Shariah law.
Are these terrorists and the regimes that sponsor them following God’s command to use reason and the intellect in their code of conduct?
“None will grasp the message (Qur’an) but men of intellect” (Qur’an: 2:269)
Like all religions, it is a sad fact that the greatest majorities of adherents of Islam are illiterate of Islam and only practice “Islamic Rituals” such as prayers, fasting, pilgrimage etc. From this illiterate population arise the monarchs and military dictators who rule the Muslim world.
After reviewing some of the Qur’anic verses and Prophet’s teachings below, ask yourself this question. Where on earth do the Arab regimes that sponsor terrorism or independent terrorist groups possibly find anything anywhere in Islam that justifies their murderous terrorist campaigns that kill innocent Muslims and Non-Muslims.
God commands all of humanity to know, interact and dialogue with one another, respect and work together in a most constructive manner on earth to the benefit of all of humanity. Islam absolutely forbids any claim of superiority or prejudice against any person of a different faith, race, color, gender, or socio-economic status. In the eyes of God who created all, only a consciousness of God, piety, righteousness, and the doing of good works differentiates one human being from another.
“O Mankind! Behold, We have created you all out of a male and a female, and have made you into nations and tribes, so that you might come to know one another. Verily, the noblest of you in the sight of God is the one who is most deeply conscious of Him. Behold, God is all-knowing, all-aware. (Qur’an: 49:13)
God blessed and elevated humankind above all creatures by imbuing every human being with His loving Holy breath, thereby ensuring the SACREDNESS of every human life.
“Do not commit any shameful deeds, be they open or in secret; and do not take any human being’s life-[the life] which God has declared to be SACRED -otherwise than in [the pursuit of] justice: this has He enjoined upon you so that you might use your reason”. (Qur’an: 6:151)
In the Qur’an God tells us that He sent down the Qur’an as a revelation for “People who think”; “who use their reason”; “who understand”; and “who contemplate on the meaning and message of the Qur’an”.
Thus Islam requires the use of reason and intellect, the search for knowledge and the study of all the sciences so that man can better understand God’s majestic creation, to study the laws and order that govern the universe and life itself, and to use such knowledge to the benefit of humanity.
“In time We will show them Our signs in the utmost Horizons (Universe) and within themselves, so that it will become clear to them that this Qur’an is most certainly the truth. Is it not enough for them to know that your Lord is Witness to all things?
(Qur’an 41:53)
Prophet Muhammad taught”
“The first thing God created was the intellect”
“God hath not created anything better than Reason, or anything more perfect, or more beautiful than Reason; the benefits which God giveth are on its account; and understanding is by it, and God’s wrath is caused by disregard of it”.
One maybe surprised that the Qur’an, revealed 1400 years ago mentions many scientific miracles that were only discovered in the 20th Century, such as the Big Bang.
Tragically, only the Arab world contravenes the world’s movement and trend toward more democracy and economic prosperity. Democracy has transformed Central and South America, and Africa from dictatorships to freer societies where the people have a voice regardless of their poverty, education, gender, or status.
Rebellion against tyranny is an Islamic duty that calls on every Muslim man and woman to unite, and revolt against the Arab tyrannical imperialists who replaced European imperialists
Al Qaeda, Taliban, Boco Haram, Al Qaeda in the Arabia Peninsula, and Others
(Note: Despite the U.S. war against the Taliban for 13 years, the U.S. does not list the Taliban as a terrorist organization; perhaps to help extricate itself from the country)
These terrorist groups, both state sponsored by Arab regimes or acting alone, are nothing but “Barbaric Theologians” whose intellectual terrorism and mass ignorance of Islam has led them to a maddening mission of death and destruction.
Murder of the innocent in the name of God can only exist in insane minds devoid of any understanding of Islam, devoid of any humanity, mercy, or compassion. These men are simply mindless and soulless war criminals.
Every act committed by these terrorists is strictly prohibited and condemned by God in the Qur’an and by our beloved Prophet’s teachings.
What does the Qur’an say about Muslims deliberately killing fellow Muslims.
“Whoever deliberately kills another believer, his requital shall be hell, therein to abide; and God will condemn him, and will reject him, and will prepare for him awesome suffering. (Qur’an 4:39)
Boco Haram is aptly named for everything it does is Haram (forbidden) in Islam.
Its evil terrorist act of kidnapping innocent Nigerian girls and allegedly forcing them to convert to Islam directly contradicts Islam’s doctrine of “freedom of religion” as well as being a contemptible crime against humanity
An important doctrine in Islam is freedom of religion. Any person forced to convert to any faith will be a lying hypocrite. Is that the kind of worshipper God seeks?
“There shall be no coercion in matters of faith” (Qur’an: 2:256)
(This verse is the foundation for freedom of religion for all of humanity)
“…unto you your faith, and unto me my faith” (Qur’an 109:6)
“Call thou ALL Mankind unto thy Lord’s path with wisdom and goodly exhortation, and argue with them in the most kindly manner”. (Qur’an: 16:125)
“And do not argue with the followers of earlier revelation (Jews and Christians) except than in a most kindly manner – unless it be such of them as are bent on evildoing** and say: “We believe in that which has been revealed to us (Qur’an), as well as that which has been revealed to you (Torah, Gospel): our God and your God is one and the same, and it is unto Him that We all surrender ourselves.” (Qur’an 29:46)
(Those who are not amenable to friendly discussion, in such cases its best to avoid religious discussions.)
Never in all of Islamic history has a man, or woman, ever claimed that God spoke to him, much less tell him commit terrorism or sell the kidnapped girls. It’s incumbent on every Muslim nation and every Muslim to do whatever is needed to free these girls, including fighting the terrorists)
Yet this insanely mad leader of Boco Haram, Abubakar Shekau, said just that:
“Allah says I should sell. He commands me to sell,”
This barbarian also aims to prevent girls from an education, especially from a western education, much like the Taliban, in direct disobedience and contradiction to the Qur’an and the Prophet’s teachings.
“And say, Lord, Increase me in knowledge”. (Qur’an 20:114)
(Note: the word “knowledge” appears 180 times in the Qur’an)
Prophet’s Teachings on Education>
“Education is an obligation on every Muslim male or female”
“The ink of the scholar is more holy than the blood of the martyr”
“A person who follows a path for acquiring knowledge, Allah will make easy the passage to Paradise for him.”
“A Muslim will not tire of knowledge until he reaches Heaven.”
As for Boco Haram forbidding western education Prophet Muhammad taught his followers, men and women to:
“Seek Knowledge even if it is in China”
It should be clear by now that these allegedly “Muslim” terrorist groups are acting not only outside the realm of Islam but in fact against Islam. Their acts are contemptible, evil, horrid, and criminal.
Muslim terrorism is the golden gift to western Islamophobes, who are mainly Jewish Zionists to bash Islam as an enemy of humanity by which these Zionists aim to strengthen Israel’s argument that it is surrounded by violent murderous terrorists.
The Center for American Progress issued a comprehensive report titled; “Fear, Inc., The Roots of the Islamophobia Network in America”, published on August 26, 2011, found that the men and women behind such an Islamophobia campaign are Jewish Zionist supporter of Israel.
http://www.americanprogress.org/issues/religion/report/2011/08/26/10165/fear-inc/
It is the duty of all Muslims to do what they can to stamp out such terrorist groups from their midst. Fighting them is a religious duty and obligation. You must not wait for western forces to fight your battles.
Prophet Muhammad said:
“The best Jihad is to speak the truth to a tyrant”
The Wealthy Oil Rich Arab Regimes Behind Muslim Terrorism:
There have been several governmental reports issued by the American and British governments and by think tanks that directly link Saudi Arabia and other Gulf nations like Kuwait, Qatar, and the United Arab Emirates to the funding of terrorist groups throughout the Muslim world.
According to U.S. Embassy Cables released by Wikileaks we find:
“Hillary Clinton says: “Saudi Arabia remains a critical financial support base for al-Qa’ida, the Taliban, LeT, and other terrorist groups”
— “US embassy cables: Hillary Clinton says Saudi Arabia ‘a critical source of terrorist funding’, the Guardian, December 5, 2010/’
http://www.theguardian.com/world/us-embassy-cables-documents/242073
From another US Embassy Cable released by Wikileaks we find:
“Saudi Arabia is the world’s largest source of funds for Islamist militant groups such as the Afghan Taliban and Lashkar-e-Taiba – but the Saudi government is reluctant to stem the flow of money, according to Hillary Clinton….Donors in Saudi Arabia constitute the most significant source of funding to Sunni terrorist groups worldwide,” she said…Three other Arab countries are listed as sources of militant money: Qatar, Kuwait and the United Arab Emirates”.
— “WikiLeaks cables portray Saudi Arabia as a cash machine for terrorists”, Guardian, December 5, 2010
http://www.theguardian.com/world/2010/dec/05/wikileaks-cables-saudi-terrorist-funding
A report issued by the European Parliament titled, T
“The Involvement of Salafism/Wahabism in the Support and Supply of Arms to Rebel Groups Around the Muslim World”. Issued June 2013 confirms the findings by the U.S. State Department that Saudi Arabia does finance and support terrorist groups in the Muslim world. https://docs.google.com/viewer?a=v&pid=sites&srcid=ZGVmYXVsdGRvbWFpbnxoYWlkZXJub3Rlc3xneDo3NDEwMDI3NjViZTNjODZm
This European report claims that
“no country in the Muslim world is safe from their (Wahabi/Salafi) operations … as they always aim to terrorize their opponents and arouse the admiration of their supporters.”
It also states that Saudi Arabia alone has spent over $10 billion to promote Wahabism through Saudi charitable foundations.
Billions spent to convert people to Wahabism by the gun?
Only Saudi Arabia in the entire Muslim world follows the extremism of Wahabism which is rejected by the entire Muslim world.
The west that is fighting a “war on terror” deliberately turns a blind eye to such Gulf sponsored terrorism.
WHY? OIL will always trump the cheap value of a Muslim’s life, or any other life.
By their silence the U.S. and Europe are complicit in the terrorism and wars tearing apart the lives and nations of the Muslim world.
How long, fellow Muslims, will you be silent and apathetic in the face of such death and destruction of your kin and nation? How many of your children must die from rockets, bombs, or from starvation and disease. before you revolt against these tyrannical regimes and their terrorist networks?
Fellow Muslims who are you waiting for to deliver you from tyranny and oppression? There is no one but GOD. Strengthen your faith, trust in God, have courage, ask for His help, and you shall receive it.
Islam is your only liberating force.
Please watch this Video of the principled courage of ONE SINGLE Muslim woman, the journalist Mona Eltahawy, who stood up to defend Islam in a most public forum. She was arrested for this act of free speech.
Thank you Ms. Eltahawy and Jazaki Allah Khairan for your strength and courage to stand up to racist Zionists and to defend Islam and Muslims. If only the rest of the American Muslim community, a community that is silent and absent when courage is needed to counter Zionist propaganda and defend our beloved faith, can learn from your courage, unite, and become activists for Islam, God willing.
