Our enemy in the West is not Islam, it's a fifth column of
Wahhabi Salafi hate preachers and their appeasers who allow the Wahhabi Salafi
Takfiri Jihadi ideology to proliferate and radicalize Muslim youth to commit
atrocities here and abroad as foreign fighters.
The West cannot allow the extremists to hide behind the
skirts of religion, so called charities and misguided notions of free speech to
facilitate radicalization and lone wolf terrorism in our homelands.
The Council of American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) describes
itself as a "non-profit, grassroots membership organization … established
to promote a positive image of Islam and Muslims in America," to protect
Muslims from hate crimes and discrimination, and to present “an Islamic
perspective on issues of importance to the American public.” However an
investigation of its activities and publications (in Arabic) shows that CAIR
supports Wahhabi Salafi ideology and are instrumental in the propagation of
that cult throughout America and have been the root cause of radicalization of
terrorists. It is reported that CAIR have been instrumental in Wahhabi Salafi
cult infiltrating or controlling over half the mosques in America with the help
of huge donations from Saudi Arabian sources and so-called charities in the US
such as the Holy Land Foundation for Relief and Development (HLF) headquartered
in Richardson, Texas with branch offices in New Jersey, California, and
Illinois. The Freedom House yearlong investigation concluded in its 89 page
report, "Saudi Publications on Hate Ideology Invade American
Mosques." that hundreds of Saudi documents disseminated at Wahhabi Salafi
mosques in the US are telling America's Muslims (surreptitiously in Arabic)
that it is a religious obligation for all 'good Muslims' to hate Christians and
Jews.
With the threat of fanatical lone wolves being so
radicalized that they want to axe, bomb and kill their fellow non-Muslim
citizens, it is imperative that CAIR and Wahhabi Salafi mosques, bookshops and
hate preachers are fully investigated and if appropriate prosecuted under
Anti-Terrorism legislation. The UAE terror listing of CAIR accords with the
evidence it seems.
"CAIR has a key role in the "Wahhabi
lobby"—the network of organizations, usually supported by donations from
Saudi Arabia, whose aim is to propagate the especially extreme version of Islam
practiced in Saudi Arabia. For one, it sends money to other parts of the lobby.
According to CAIR's Form 990 filings for 2003, its California offices invested
$325,000 with the North American Islamic Trust (NAIT). The NAIT was established
in 1971 by the Muslim Student Association of the U.S. and Canada, which bills
itself as the precursor to the Islamic Society of North America, now the
largest member of the Wahhabi lobby. According to Newsweek, authorities say
that over the years "NAIT money has helped the Saudi Arabian sect of
Wahhabism—or Salafism, as the broader, pan-Islamic movement is called—to seize
control of hundreds of mosques in U.S. Muslim communities." J. Michael Waller,
a terrorism expert, testified before the Senate Judiciary Committee that NAIT
is believed to own 50 to 79 per cent of the mosques in North America. According
to Waller, NAIT was raided as part of Operation Green Quest in 2002, on
suspicions of involvement in terrorist financing”
Randall ("Ismail") Royer, an American convert to
Islam, served as CAIR's communications specialist and civil rights coordinator;
today he sits in jail on terrorism-related charges. In June 2003, Royer and ten
other young men, ages 23 to 35, known as the "Virginia jihad group,"
were indicted on forty-one counts of "conspiracy to train for and
participate in a violent jihad overseas." The defendants, nine of them
U.S. citizens, were accused of association with Lashkar-e-Taiba, a radical Islamic
group designated as a foreign terrorist organization by the U.S. Department of
State in 2001. They were also accused of meeting covertly in private homes and
at the Islamic Centre in Falls Church to prepare themselves for battle by
listening to lectures and watching videotapes. As the prosecutor noted,
"Ten miles from Capitol Hill in the streets of northern Virginia, American
citizens allegedly met, plotted, and recruited for violent jihad."
According to Matthew Epstein of the Investigative Project, Royer helped recruit
the others to the jihad effort while he was working for CAIR. The group trained
at firing ranges in Virginia and Pennsylvania; in addition, it practiced
"small-unit military tactics" at a paintball war-games facility in
Virginia, earning it the moniker, the "paintball jihadis." Eventually
members of the group travelled to Pakistan.
Five of the men indicted, including CAIR's Royer, were found
to have had in their possession, according to the indictment, "AK-47-style
rifles, telescopic lenses, hundreds of rounds of ammunition and tracer rounds,
documents on undertaking jihad and martyrdom, [and] a copy of the terrorist
handbook containing instructions on how to manufacture and use explosives and
chemicals as weapons."
After four of the eleven defendants pleaded guilty, the
remaining seven, including Royer, were accused in a new, 32-count indictment of
yet more serious charges: conspiring to help Al-Qaeda and the Taliban battle
American troops in Afghanistan. [25] Royer admitted in his grand jury testimony
that he had already waged jihad in Bosnia under a commander acting on orders
from Osama bin Laden. Prosecutors also presented evidence that his father,
Ramon Royer, had rented a room in his St. Louis-area home in 2000 to Ziyad
Khaleel, the student who purchased the satellite phone used by Al-Qaeda in
planning the two U.S. embassy bombings in East Africa in August 1998. [26]
Royer eventually pleaded guilty to lesser firearms-related charges, and the
former CAIR staffer was sentenced to twenty years in
prison.[http://www.meforum.org/916/cair-islamists-fooling-the-establishment]
Laws banning incitement to terrorist acts must be uniformly
promulgated amongst civilized nations and strictly enforced until the Wahhabi
Salafi madness stops and the blood stops dripping from the hatchets of the
haters of our way of life.
‘Inspire’,‘Resurgence’,‘Dabiq’ and all hate websites and
Social Media sites must be taken down and all hate preachers who distribute or
promote them and their incitement to terrorism and criminality must be
prosecuted to decrease the very real terrorist risk to our homelands of
radicalized Salafi’s cashed up with Saudi petro dollars.
On Monday 13 October 2014, in St-Jean-sur-Richelieu Canada,
a new but zealous convert to Wahhabi Salafi Islam 12 months ago, Canadian
Martin Couture-Rouleau murdered Canadian soldier Warrant Officer Patrice
Vincent by running him and another soldier down in a car pointing his finger to
heaven seeking Allah as his justification for doing so. Like so many Salafi’s
this convert changed his name to a more Arabic one; Ahmad LeConverti (Ahmad the
Converted) before embarking on his jihad against the West. Like so many young
Salafi’s he became enamoured with ISIS and heeded its online call to glorify
Allah by running down and murdering infidels by using motor cars.
Michael Zehaf-Bibeau was radicalized at a British Columbia
Mosque, the Masjid Al Salaam & Education Centre. The umbrella
organization for that Mosque, the British Columbia Muslim Association (BCMA)
manage many schools and 15 Mosques in British Columbia. They are (according to
their own literature) funded in large part by the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia and
the Muslim World League. BCMA have a history of inviting radical hate preachers
(like Siraj Wahhaj alleged co-conspirator with the Blind Sheik Omar Abdel
Rahman in the first World Trade Centre Bombings in 1993 who also spoke at the
BC mosque calling the West a ‘filthy garbage can’) to speak to their community
(said to number 80,000) in British Columbia. The Koran’s they distribute are
the Wahhabi annotated Korans that emphasize armed and violent Jihad as an
obligation of all ‘good Muslims’.
Zaim Farouq Abdul-malik (Zale Thompson) like Wahhabi Salafi
inspired maniac, Michael Adebolajo (the Woolwich hatchet slayer) just followed
the Wahhabi Salafi Takfiri ‘script’ as articulated by its ideologues like:
• The Blind Sheikh Omar Abdel-Rahman,
• Anwar al-Awlaki,
• Omar Bakri Mohammed,
• Abu Hamza (al-Masri) ,
• Anjem Choudary,
• Trewvor Brooks (Abu Izzadeen),
• Mizanur Rahman,
• Mohammed Achamlane,
• Mohammad Ali Baryalei, and
• Abu Musab Al Suri,
• Al-Bagdadi etc
Many troubled Muslim youths approached by Salafist groups
like Forsane Alizza (FA- The Knights of Pride) and encouraged to progress his
study their cult which was their brand of militant Salafi ‘Islam’ from their
radical mosques or private ‘prayer groups’ and if suitable for mission training
Al Qaeda operatives then arranged for the acolyte go to Pakistan for deeper
indoctrination into the cult and specialist weapons and bomb training when he
got out.
Forsane Alizza aka ‘Sharia4France’ is ostensibly an
anti-Islamophobia group but authorities say it is a terrorist organization that
used the mantra of anti-Islamophobia to mask its deeper purpose of radicalizing
disenchanted youth from Islamic backgrounds. They followed the rhetoric of
fellow terrorists like Yemeni-American cleric Anwar al-Awlaki to recruit
disillusioned youth from Islamic communities in the West away from the traditional
Islamic faith of their parents who immigrated to the West and instead adopt
their cult. Their cult made everything from their plight to the perceived
injustice of Muslims around the world easily understood in a populist way and
in the vernacular. The converts were shown a way out of their sin and into
heaven by taking the express lane of radical militancy to attack all enemies of
the Wahhabi-Salafi Jihadi’s (the only true Muslims) whether they be
Crusader-Zionists in AF-PAK, Shia Muslims, Sufi Muslims or Moderate Sunni
Muslims (all apostates in the cults eyes to be excommunicated (Takfiri) and
worthy of death) or non-Sharia democracies in the West. The ultimate goal of
the cult is establishing a kind of ‘Third Reich’ Salafist caliphate stretching
from Chechnya to the Philippines that will restore pride and power to “Muslims”
(the ones that are left after the bad Muslims have been enlightened as to the
true ‘path’ or eliminated); hence their name Forsane Alizza -The Knights of
Pride.
Forsane Alizza has links to other radical Islamist groups in
Europe, such as al-Muhajiroun / ‘Islam4UK’ in Britain and ‘Shariah4Belgium’,
‘Muslims against Crusades’ as well as ‘Revolution Muslim’ in the United States.
Al-Muhajiroun means "the Emigrants". The name comes from their
‘target market’, the children of traditional Islamic parents who immigrated to
the West. These Islamo-Fascist cult’s modus operandi is not unlike the Hitler
Youth movement of the Nazi’s, brainwashing the youth with magazines, and sending
them to specialized indoctrination schools and camps with their ‘brothers’ and
SS style (Mujahedeen) elite training, how to be ‘good Muslims’ just like the
Nazi’s did in the 1930’s by teaching the ‘jugend’ how to be ‘good Germans’. The
devotees would then have no qualms about the war ahead and what had to be done
to the ‘untermench’ (Jews, Crusaders and Takfiri or moderate/traditional
Muslims). The allies upon liberating Eastern Europe could not believe how
civilized people could commit the atrocities that the Einsatzgruppen did
especially against women and children. These Hitler Youth graduates were formed
into heartless death squads responsible for the murders of over 1,000,000
people, mainly Jews including women and children in occupied Eastern Europe
between 1939 and 1944.
It is no surprise then that when today’s Wahhabi Salafi
Takfiri Jihadi’s strike whether its Bali, Beslan or Toulouse, they do so
without mercy and show no remorse afterward if they survive. Indeed they often
laugh and smile chanting "Allahu Akbar” like the Bali mass murderer Amrozi
bin Nurhasyim did when sentenced by an Indonesian Court rejecting his defence
that his actions in 2002 planting bombs that indiscriminately killed 202
tourists because he was seeking to ‘strike at America and its allies,
especially Israel’ were justified under Islam.
If we in the West allow them and other Wahhabi Salafi
Takfiri’s free reign to radicalize our youth and the Wahhabi warpath will be
strewn with the lives of more innocents in our homelands and ordinary Muslims
will start to face persecution from an ill-informed public. This will play into
the hands of Al Qaeda and ISIS and their narrative of a clash of civilizations
and so become a self-fulfilling prophecy.
Security agencies and Police must be able to fully
investigate radical hate preachers the mosques, bookshops and internet sites
known to incite, support and facilitate hatred, extremism and terrorism. How
else can lone wolves be interdicted before they execute their schemes? For
example:
Islamic Centre of Queens on 37th Avenue Woodside (aka Masjid
al-Fatima) which was founded by Brother Aqeel Khan and taken over by radicals
from the Wahhabi Salafi group Hizb ut Tahrir and associated group
al-Muhajiroun/Sharia4UK (via Omar Bakri Mohammed)
• American Al-Muhajiroun member Syed
“Fahad” Hashmi frequented the Mosque. He was indicted on terrorism charges in
May 2007
• Sajil Shahid / Sajeel Shahid also went
to this Mosque. Sajeel was one of the Wahhabi Salafi mentors of the London 7/7
tube bombers setting up a safe house for them during their bomb making training
in Pakistan. Shahid is associated with the Queens mosque by reason of his being
both a leader of al-Muhajiroun in Pakistan as well as UK. Britons were outraged
this year to learn he and his brother Adeel Shahid set up and ran for the last
5 years a government funded Wahhabi Salafi primary school ‘Ad-Deen’ in Ilford
Essex using the pseudonym Abu Ibrahim. He said in an interview
• ‘We see the US and British governments
as the biggest terrorists in the world.’
• Al Muhajiroun and its leadership
(through such operatives as brothers Sajil and Adil Shadid and associates such
as Junaid Babar) used Lahore Pakistan as a base to train British Muslims to
perform armed jihad in Af-Pak, Chechnya, Bosnia and UK. Richard Reid the Al
Qaeda shoe bomber was a regular attendee of the Essex Islamic Community Centre
before his failed attempt in 2001 to blow up American Airlines Flight 63 over
Miami. Several jihadi brothers meeting at Ilford for ‘prayer’ were also foreign
fighters with the Taliban in AF-Pak and now Syria/Iraq.
• “'Al-Muhajiroun (aka Sharia4UK) has one
goal,' said Anjam Choudry, its UK chairman.’we would like to see the
implementation of the sharia law in the UK. Under our rule this country would
be known as the Islamic Republic of Great Britain. To do that, attracting young
Asians is not enough. So we are making a conscious effort to recruit large
numbers of non-Muslims. 'Whites, Chinese, Japanese and Indians in this country
are all bored with the capitalist system. It's a bankrupt ideal. We have found
that young non-Muslims, like our Asian followers, want something new. You can
tell that from the anti-globalisation movement. So we're offering them
something pure: a religious mission, the values of sharia law and jihad.'”
http://www.theguardian.com/uk/2002/feb/24/religion.september11
That is one of the reasons why Anjam Choudry, loves and
promotes ISIS so much as they are imposing Sharia law strictly wherever their
black flags capture a town in Syria or Iraq.

“In July 2006, while London mourned the victims of 7/7 on
the first anniversary of the attacks, the Islamist Mohammed Sawalha held an
exhibition celebrating Islam. This Islam Expo, held at Alexandra Palace in
north London. Here Sajil Shahid had a stall, promoting Islamic computer
games.... Al Muhajiroun members such as Abdul Raheem Saleem, aka "Abu
Yahya" in 2006 demonstration in Sloane Square, where placards called for
the beheading of "those who insult Islam" ... Abu Hamza, the radical
preacher at Finsbury Park Mosque (and leader for a time of UK Muhajiroun had a
role to play in the brainwashing of) Zacarias Moussaoui, the "20th
man" in the 9/11 conspiracy”

• • Masjid al-Fatima Mosque also has links
to Pakistani/American Wahhabi Salafi terrorist Moahmmed Junaid Babar who was
implicated as a bomb instructor at a Lahore terrorist training centre used by
the radicalized Muslim youths who committed the 2005 London 7/7 Bombings. He
grew up in Queens NY before becoming radicalized by Al Muhajiroun’s with Abu
Hamza al-Masri and Omar Bakri Mohammed. Babar was an associate of
Pakistani/Canadian Momin Khawaja, andOmar Khyam who were part of a fertilizer
bomb plot in London. He was also an associate of Kazi Nurur Rahman of East
London who was planning a Mumbai style attack in the UK (having been trained by
the Lashkar-e-Taiba (Let) who carried out that atrocity as well as being part
of the fertilizer bomb plot. Kazi Rahman was jailed for 9 years and will be
released this year. Babar although guilty and liable for a life sentence went
to prison for only 4 years being released in 2011 (as part of a plea bargain).
He said in a BBC TV interview “I will kill every American that I see.”

Salafi Lone Wolves and Wahhabi-Salafi hate preachers who
radicalize them are hatchet wielding ISIS jihadists on our streets seeking to
do the ‘will of Allah’ as they are brainwashed to believe with radical zeal,
especially if freshly ‘converted’.
How does one stop the Wahhabi warpath? Deal with KSA funding
of Wahhabi Mosques and Islamist ‘Centres’ in our homelands and shut the mouths
of the Salafist hate preachers and you minimize the Jihadist threat at our
Parliaments and on our streets. Hadal Muhajiroun/Sharia4UK been dealt with in
London, Forsane Alizza/Sharia4France, Sharia4Belgium been dealt with sooner by
appropriate laws and LEO in France and Belgium, and had Masjid Al Salaam
& Education Centre and BCMA been dealt with in Canada and the poison
dripping from the hate preachers lips who use Masjid al-Fatima dealt with in
New York, London’s ‘7/7’, the Woolwich slaying, the Toulouse and Brussels
massacres would not have happened and Patrice Vincent would be alive today and
also Nathan Cirillo ( whose funeral is pictured above) would be alive today and
the New York policemen would not be in hospital from axe wounds of the Wahhabis
on the warpath.
The UN Counter-Terrorism Committee Executive Directorate
(CTED) at a regional workshop on incitement and violent extremism held in
Nairobi November/December 2011 reaffirmed the UN’s policy that States need to
prohibit and prevent incitement to terrorist acts motivated by extremism and
intolerance.
It is clear that the United Nations General Assembly
circumscribes the right of people (including religious preachers and political
leaders of whatever ethnicity) to have freedom of opinion and expression and
dissemination of ideas (Article 19 The Universal Declaration of Human Rights
1948) by the necessary caveat that laws can and should be made to curb that
freedom for the protection of national security and the rights of others
(Article 19 International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights 1966).
Moreover in 2005 the Security Council of the UN made
Resolution 1624 concerning threats to international peace and security caused
by acts of terrorism condemning in the strongest terms the incitement of
terrorist acts.
The UN repudiates any attempts at the justification or
glorification (apologie) of terrorist acts that may incite further terrorist
acts. The international community recognizes that incitements of terrorist acts
are motivated by extremism and intolerance and that this poses a serious and
growing danger to global communities.
Many terrorists masquerade as religious organizations and so
the UN has made it clear that States must prevent the subversion of
educational, cultural and religious institutions by terrorists and their
supporters.
The Salafi-Takfiris seek like the Nazi party or the
Bolsheviks, to be the vanguard of their own form of global revolution of what
they see as their constituency (not Arians or the proletariat as Nazis and
communists do) but of the world wide Ummah of Muslim people who they are
actively seeking to convert to their cause and their dogma. They do this
primarily through the financial and ideological infiltration and takeover of
traditional Muslim mosques, educational institutions and ‘charities’.
If there is trouble with Turkey in relation to Cyprus or
with respect to the treatment of Muslim minorities in Greece, it would serve
Greece well to make lawful categorizations and distinctions in their laws and
policies based on a thorough understanding of the real source of terrorism.
That way it can withstand the international pressure and scrutiny that may come
to try and exploit any domestic problems that may arise from the country trying
to protect its legitimate national interest.
In a recent article in ‘Defecnegreece.com’, Ionnis
Michaletos titled, ‘Radical Islam passing through Greece’ (Nov 25 , 2011), the
point is made that Greece in its delicate financial state is at serious risk
from domestic terrorism and a transit point for the flow of terrorist resources
across its borders and further into Europe.
However, it is dangerous, against the UN resolutions and
counter-productive to label people too broadly by reference to religious,
ethnic or national profiling as ‘terrorists’. For example the use of
‘Islamists’ by Ioannis and many others is unfortunate. The perpetrators of
terrorist acts in the name of ‘Islam’ are not really ‘Muslims’ at all but
simple political terrorists who try and legitimize their criminality and hatred
by adopting the mantle of religion. By analogy it would be unjust to call
anarchists who commit terrorist acts as ‘Orthodox Extremists/Orthodoxists’ even
if the anarchists sought to justify their criminality by reference to the
Orthodox religion.
The better approach would be to call them by the name of
their philosophy; ‘Salafi-Takfiris’.
They are the Islamo-fascist ideological umbrella, source of
funds and foot soldiers for Al Qaeda and associated movements (AQAM);
Indonesian ‘JI’ ; Pakistani ‘JeM’; ‘LeJ’; Moroccan ‘Direct Path’; Algerian
‘GSPC’ Philippines ‘Abu Sayyaf’, etc. and lone wolves/home-growns.
99.99% of the terrorist problem in Greece and the West
(whether cells or lone wolves) does NOT come from traditional/orthodox Islam
but from the well-funded and extreme Salafi-Takfiris (AKA Salafi-Jihadis).
Any Greek who is serious about wanting to know the truth
behind unrest at home or in the Middle East should simply type ‘Salafi’ into
the Google box before the issue they want to research. This will open up
avenues of investigation that can ‘cut through’ the media speak that sometimes
play to the tune of the rich and powerful who have an unfortunate financial
vested interest in the nation states that support them that often leads to
misinformation in the global media.
Read articles and books on Salafi- Takfiris and then you
will see the scale and nature of the threat not just to our Greek homeland but
also to millions of traditional Muslims who they hate as much as us. For
example a Muslim referred me to an excellent small book ‘Terror’s Source' by
Vincenzo Oliveti. Even though it’s a 2002 book, it is well worth reading.
In fact because it’s central thesis is that Takfiris are
spawned from Salafis and Salafis are the growing in number and themselves
spawned from state sponsored/petro dollar driven Wahhabi infrastructure. Their
game plan is the world 'take over' of mosques in the West, nation states in the
Middle East then the mobilization of them against the West.
It is the current generation of ordinary orthodox Muslims
more than the West that are currently the victims of this right wing ‘putsch’
into the West via traditional/orthodox Islam.
Rather than ethnic/cultural profiling and casting the net
wide in a discriminatory manner against all Muslims or people from the Middle
East, all law enforcement (LE) has to do to maximize its effectiveness both at
counter radicalization and interdiction of lone wolves and extremist cells is
to concentrate their efforts against all and any forms of Salafi-Takfiris and
the nation states that sponsor them.
That includes funding (whether through so called 'charities
or schools) and propaganda (whether that be disguised as religion or not).
If all else fails 'follow the (source of the) money’ and
make laws that stop that flow and you will reduce the risk of contagion and
brainwashing of home-grown individual terrorists and cells.
If you do not tomorrow’s generation of Muslims may well be
press ganged; financed or duped into Salafi-Takfirism.
It would serve the Greek people well if the war on terrorism
properly defined who the ‘terrorists’ are (especially as Al Qaeda was but a
form of Salafi-Takfirism).
The term ‘terrorist’ should therefore not be classified as
'Islamists' but rather 'Salafi-Takfiris' and that adherents to that philosophy
be named in the anti-terrorist legislation as ‘terrorists’ or ‘supporters of
terrorist organization’.
Once the law is focused on the real threat (in our Greek
homeland) the imposition of criminal sanctions can be effective and
non-discriminatory. Also with broad community dialogue with Islamic communities
in Greece with this understanding (whether they be domestic or refugees) can
assist to ‘inoculate’ the broad Islamic community (on our own soil and in
Europe more broadly) from contagion of this extremist group. In this way the
authorities in Greece can protect the national interest in conformity with
international law.
