interesting article

this is long but worth the read. from Lee Jay Walker. this is an eye opener.



The United States is now gradually waking up to a growing internalIslamic menace which desires to kill in the name of Islam. In the pastweek you have had three different cases involving Islamists who desiredto kill and intimidate the people of America. In the United Kingdom thesame problem exists but just like in America, under President Obama,both nations are pandering to Islam and propagating false lies aboutthis religion. Therefore, it is time to focus on the real factors behindthe growing Sunni Islamic threat within America and in other nations.The first important factor that must be understood is that this threatcomes from radical Sunni Islam and not from Shia Islam. In America andthe United Kingdom you have many Shia Muslims; however, it is clear thatall major global Islamic terrorism derives from radical Sunni Islam.It is also abundantly clear that the Ahmadiyya Muslim community is notinvolved in terrorism because their brand of Islam is based on differentinterpretations and this branch of Islam suffers greatly in Pakistan andother nations, for example in Indonesia. Therefore, it is vital tounderstand where the focus should be because Ahmadiyya Muslims and ShiaMuslims, and other branches of Islam like the Alevi, must be split fromwhere the problem exists.In Lebanon you do have Shia terrorist organizations however they arefocused on either internal problems in Lebanon or on the situation inIsrael. Also, in Yemen you have current problems with the restive Shiapopulation but once more this is an internal matter and not based onexpanding jihad and the same applies to Shia organizations in Iraq andPakistan.Therefore, Islamic terrorist attacks in America, India, Indonesia,Kenya, the United Kingdom, and other nations, have all been done byradical Sunni Islamists. Also, the inspiration behind these terroristattacks is coming from the same avenue and this avenue of terrorism andglobal Islamic jihad can be traced back to Saudi Arabia and Pakistan.B. Raman, a specialist in this field stated in the South Asia AnalysisGroup, paper number 1767, that "While the Deobandi extremists have beenbacking---openly or covertly--- Al Qaeda and its ideology, the Barelvishave been uncomfortable over it. Many of them have been critical of theuse of the Pakistani territory by Al Qaeda and the (InternationalIslamic Front) IIF for their terrorist operations in other countries.They have also been worried over the implications of the messagedisseminated by bin Laden in January, 2006, in which he claimed thatplans for another terrorist strike in the US homeland were alreadyunderway."B. Raman also states that "There are two main groups of Sunni sectarianorganisations in Pakistan---the Sipah-e-Sahaba and theLashkar-e-Jhangvi, both strongly Deobandi-Wahabi-Salafi and both membersof the IIF, and the Sunni Tehrik, strongly Barelvi andanti-Deobandi-Wahabi-Salafi. Since many years, the Sipah-e-Sahaba andthe LEJ have embarked on a campaign for the Arabisation and Wahabisationof the Barelvi Muslims and for removing the distorting influence ofHinduism. The Sunni Tehrik has been resisting the onslaught of theDeobandis, Wahabis and Salafis."Therefore, just like B. Raman points out, we can apply this to theinternational arena because the same forces and with Saudi financialbacking, irrespective if government or organizations or wealthyindividuals, is spreading the same message of hate to other nations farand wide. Yet why do nations like America, Indonesia, and the UnitedKingdom, and many others, allow this?It is abundantly clear that the Muslim community in the UK in the 1960sand 1970s is very different to elements within the Muslim communitytoday. According to B. Raman he states that "For the last fifteen years,there has been a conflict between the Deobandis and the Barelvis for thecontrol of the mosques and their funds not only in Pakistan, but also inthe UK. Previously, the Barelvis used to control the mosques in the UKfrequented by immigrants from the sub-continent, but they have sincebeen driven out by the Deobandis and Wahabis. This was the startingpoint for the radicalisation of the Pakistani-origin Muslims in the UKand in the other countries of West Europe. The ISI (Pakistan'sInter-Services Intelligence) has been supporting the Sipah-e-Sahaba andthe LEJ in Pakistan as well as in West Europe."Therefore, it is clear that funding within Pakistan and Saudi Arabia iscausing mayhem and it is obvious that you have "a war within Islam" and"an ongoing Islamic jihad" against moderate Muslims, other sects withinIslam and against non-Muslims. Other channels of funding throughout theMiddle East also applies but the mindset and ideological thinking isbased on the same branches of Islam and it is clear where thecounter-jihad must begin.Yet amazingly, and even after September 11th, whereby nearly all SunniIslamists were Saudi nationals; the United States destroyed a secularbased nation in Iraq and ignored the greater problem. After all, howmany American soldiers and other international forces have been killedby radical Saudi Islamists in Iraq or by Saudi Arabian organizationswhich preach jihad and hatred?Given this, it appears that the focus of attention is based on the wrongarea and even today Saudi Arabian funding is creating mayhem in mainlyMuslim societies or mainly non-Muslim societies where Muslim minoritiesare growing.Walid Phares, author of "The Confrontation: Winning the War againstFuture Jihad," and of many other books and a senior expert in thisfield, stated "Petro-Islamism is also having a big impact in the highereducation sector. As Walid Phares, an expert on global terrorism remarksin The War of Ideas (2007), globally, "a wave of oil funding hituniversity after university, college after college, and research centreafter research centre. The objectives were fully ideological: furtherthe cause of Islam, support the Palestinian cause, and plant the seedsof the concept of an illegitimate West."In Britain, a report about the growing rise of Islamic funding by BrunelUniversity's Centre for Intelligence and Security Studies highlightedthe nature of the problem. The report stated that more than $491 milliondollars have been spent on funding Islamic study centres and other formsof propagation. These institutions include Cambridge and Oxford,therefore, radical Islamists have gained a foothold in major circles.I myself studied at the University of London and radical Islam wasclearly a daily problem and militants were often trying to spread theirhatred and propaganda. It is also noticeable that Omar Sheikh who wasconvicted for the beheading of Daniel Pearl, the Wall Street Journalreporter, also studied at the London School of Economics.Getting back to the radical Sunni Islamic threat then it is vital toconfront this threat openly and to stop hiding behind liberalism, moralrelativism, or untold excuses for why we must understand the causesbehind radical Sunni Islam. The apologist brigade, for example KarenArmstrong, and countless others, portray Islam to be a religion of peacebut Mohammed, the prophet of Islam, did not show much peace towards hisenemies, instead he either enslaved them, had them killed or they wereexiled.Another important factor which must not be overlooked is history. Forexample the Buddhist/Hindu lands which are now called Afghanistan,Bangladesh, Pakistan, and Uzbekistan (especially influenced byZoroastrianism), and other nations; all allowed diversity despiteoccasional bouts of religious tensions. Therefore, you had Buddhists,Hindus, Jains, Nestorian Christians, Pagans, Zoroastrians, and otherfaiths, all mingling together in a vast regionHowever, the onset of Islam changed all this because over time in bothAfghanistan and Uzbekistan, the older religions of Buddhism, Hinduism,and Zoroastrianism (the oldest religion), would be Islamized because ofseveral factors.These factors were multiple but clearly the role of Islamic jihad,dhimmitude, jizya, massive persecution, slavery, forced conversion,control of resources, and so forth, all culminated in a tide ofIslamization.Yet the leaders of these areas would also have believed thataccommodation could have been met and that Islam was just anotherreligion. However, Islam is based on victor and vanquished, and thisreligion is more like an ideology because it fuses religion, politics,economics, law, and the regulation of society, together and clearlynon-Muslims are unequal (indeed Buddhists and Hindus are deemed to besubhuman because they are not people of the Book) in accordance with theteachings of Islam.Even in 2009 apostates from Islam can be killed in accordance with theteachings of Mohammed and other religious believers are still sufferingfrom Islamization. This applies to Christians being burnt alive inPakistan, apostates from Islam being killed in Somalia, attacks againstAhmadiyya Muslims in Pakistan, persecution of Baha'is in Iran, Christianpastors being beheaded in northern Nigeria, Assyrian Christians andother minorities (Shabaks, Yazidis and Mandaean) also fear daily attacksand the same applies to the persecution of Coptic Christians in Egypt.The forces of Islamic jihad is ongoing and Buddhists face severepersecution in southern Thailand and the Chittagong Hill Tracts (alsoChristian and Hindu tribal's) in Bangladesh and of course Buddhism inhistory always collapsed when Islamic armies conquered their lands.I stated in a past article, that "Today, just like the 7th century,Islam is still killing apostates or persecuting them. Today, just likein the 7th century, Muslims are still waging wars against non-Muslims incountless numbers of nations. Today, just like the 7th century, Muslimfanatics are still killing fellow Muslims who are deemed to be notMuslim enough.""The apologists will keep on making excuses; however, it is clear thatin many parts of the Islamic dominated world, that hatred stilldictates. Therefore, in 2009, just like in the 7th century, non-Muslimsstill suffer enormous persecution and some Islamists are still dreamingof spreading Islam by the sword or by propaganda."Now this war against non-Muslims and moderate Muslims alike is beingwaged in northern Nigeria against Christians, against Ahmadiyya Muslimsin Pakistan, against Hindus in Bangladesh and Pakistan, and againstBuddhists in southern Thailand. The same also applies to countless otherconflicts or nations where minorities suffer enormous persecution, forexample the persecution of Coptic Christians in Egypt.This jihad is now being propagated within nations like America and theUnited Kingdom. Yet how can you confront your enemy when you have toplay by political correctness, pander to the very same people who wantto enforce Islamic Sharia law on you or have dialogue with a religionwhich supports killing all apostates and treating non-Muslims unequallyin Islamic Sharia law?If we ignore the past diversity of Afghanistan, Bangladesh, Pakistan,and Uzbekistan, then one day our civilizations may end up the same way?After all, just like the past, religious leaders and elites within theBuddhist, Hindu, Nestorian Christian, and Zoroastrian communities didnot understand the true nature of Islam. However, by the time theyunderstood it was too late and today Buddhism in Afghanistan andPakistan is a distant memory and the same applies to Zoroastrianism inUzbekistan. At the same time, in the modern world Buddhism may soon be adistant memory in southern Thailand if Islamists get their way and maybeIraq will soon have no more Mandaeans?Walid Phares comments on recent events in America and states that "TheNorth Carolina cell, the New York subway plot, the Dallas attempt, theIllinois case, added to the previous cases of the shooting of a soldierin Arkansas, the precedent New York cells, Georgia's young Jihadists,all the way back to the infamous Virginia paintball network, if anythinggives us the genome of what is morphing inside the country -- a vastbody of dispersed cells with at least one binding force -- the Jihadiideology. The question thus is to find out who is propagating thedoctrines of Jihadism: who is funding it; who is protecting theindoctrination operation which leads naturally to the rise of homegrownor foreign linked, lone wolves or packs of Jihadists, Terrorists. Thatis the real question: where is the factory?"Therefore, it is vital to stop major funding which is spreading radicalSunni Islam and to focus on where the threat is. It is also vital thatnational governments work together and that history is not forgotten.Also, more attention must be focused on persecution and injustice"within the House of Islam" and the "real Mohammed" must be told insteadof the Western liberal version which is bent on appeasement andrevisionism.
