Blackburn Catholic School likely to be handed over to Local Muslims

The Islamic Standard has been noted for its sometimes quite strong attacks against the Catholic Church, we believe not unjustly given the scandals and problems in that part of Christianity.
However credit where it is due to the Catholic Diocese of Salford, which runs Catholic schools across the north-west of English for taking an excellent decision that it no longer has the moral authority to continue running a Catholic School in Blackburn, given the school is overwhelming Muslim majority and only 5 or 6 Catholic pupils remain out of 200 students.
Muslim numbers continue to rise year on year with a much higher birthrate, as well as large numbers of people becomming Muslim and wanting their children to be raised in the Islamic faith.
The Diocese of Salford has told Blackburn with Darwen Borough Council that it no longer believes it is “appropriate” for the church to be in charge and the board of Governers, also Catholics have resigned en-masse to bring about a change in management at the publicly paid for school.
According to a report presented to the council’s executive, the school, which sits in a predominantly Asian populated area of the town, has been struggling to recruit a permanent headteacher because of rules imposed by the church that the head must follow the Catholic faith.
Geraldine Bradbury, director of education at the Diocese, said population shifts meant there were only “five or six” Catholic pupils left at the school.
“We have never experienced a change to this extent before,” she said.
“We would not be serving the local community by insisting that we run the school. It brings things like having a Catholic headteacher and devoting 10 per cent of the timetable to RE. It would be very wrong of us to insist on putting a school community through that.”
The report for the future of the school goes further, recommending the school maintains its status as a publicly funded faith school and suggests that the running of the school would be best in the hands of Blackburn Tauheedul Islam Masjid which already runs the Tauheedul Islam Girls High School in the town.
The report states that the Masjid leadership of the school would “provide increased diversity… and offer a faith school that matches the population in this area of the town.”
Muslim
community leaders are already in talks and Tauheedul Islam Girls High
School principle Hamid Patel said the Masjid would like to take over the
running of Sacred Heart school. “Given that almost all of the pupils
are Muslim it makes sense for us to engage with the school.”
Taheedul Islam Girls High School has consistantly been one of the best in the country, and last year was the 3rd highest in Ofsted’s league table in England.
The new provider will be decided by a competition, under which different organisations bid to the local authority to be put in charge with the Church of England diocese of Blackburn looking at keeping Christian control of the education of Muslim children and also wanting to take over Sacred Heart.
Secularists have condemned the report, instead wanting a school with no religious ties or religious education, despite the clear evidence that even the non-religious are desperate to get their kids into religious education given the better results produced by the more moral school environment.
According to the report, the council believes that any attempt to turn Sacred Heart into a non-religious community school would be rejected by the Government because of the Coalition’s “stated preference for… new faith schools and free schools”.
Education Secretary Michael Gove named five faith schools among the list of the first 16 free schools to open next year, including two Jewish schools, a Sikh school and a Hindu primary.
Though in principle there should be no barriers for Muslim schools to open, in practice those wishing to open an Islamic school are made to jump through hoops to satisfy the Government and local education boards that they are in practice schools run by Muslims with as little Islamic ethos as possible but even so they are better than secular educational establishments for those parents who cannot afford the fees of private Islamic schools or the time needed to home school.
Even so The Islamic Standard welcomes the increased recognition of Islam and the needs of its followers through the education system and hopes the council and authorities make the right choice in who takes over Sacred Heart School, given the overwhelming desires of the pupils and parents for an Islamic School in the area.
‘Pope plot’ shows Police lacking a sense of humour
Posted in Broken Britain, Catholic Church, False religions, Media, UK News with tags bbc, Catholic, Islam, Joke, Met, muslim, Plot, police, Pope Benedict, terrorism, Veolia on September 20, 2010 by Abu Khadijah
Six
brothers of Algerian origin quizzed by counter-terrorism police
investigating a plot to attack Pope Benedict XVI were all released
without charge, Scotland Yard announced yesterday.The men were arrested on Friday in London after a reported ‘plot’ against the life of the Pope on his visit to the UK.
A Metropolitan police spokesman said: “Six men who were arrested under the Terrorism Act 2000 on Friday, 17 September, were all released without charge late on Saturday night and early this morning.” (this statement was made yesterday, Sunday 19th September).
Armed Police turned up at eight homes in north and east London and two business premises in central London, including a street cleaning depot, arresting the men, violating their homes, going through their families things but it all turns out to be over a reported joke about the Pope and his visit overheard by a fellow member of staff.
The BBC giving the usual ‘no smoke without fire’ line quoted Scotland
Yard sources saying that the men posed no credible threat, but refusing
to state why they had been arrested or released while the Sunday Mirror
at least reported what a bunch of violent muppets the Police had been
once again and that the men had simply been overheard sharing a joke in
their canteen.
One of the men, a 29-year-old, was arrested in north London shortly before 2pm on Friday by armed Policemen bursting into his home, as they done with many other Muslim brothers, only for them to be released a few days later without charge or charged with other minor offences such as traffic violations.
The five other men, believed to be street cleaners, were arrested at gunpoint as armed officers swooped on their base as they prepared to start their shift shortly before 6am on Friday.
The brothers work for Veolia Environmental Services, a contractor that employs 650 on-street staff to keep the streets of Westminster clean but these days, even sharing a joke can get you arrested, it seems either the Police have too much time on their hands, or no way to tell a credible plot from a joke, or a serious lack of a sense of humour.
Note From Editor: We do not know what the joke is, so people please stop asking that question! I’ll send a Cadbury’s Double Decker to the first person who came up with a true version of the joke that is sourced and verifiable (UK entries only due to postal costs)
Calling The Pope To Account

Written by The Islamic Standard reporter, Ali Hussain Ludlow
Bismillahir Rahmaanir Raheem,
And the Jews say:
Uzair is the son of Allah; and the
Christians say: The Messiah is the son of Allah; these are the words of
their mouths; they imitate the saying of those who disbelieved before;
may Allah destroy them; how they are turned away!
They take their priests and their anchorites to be their lords in besides Allah, and (they take as their Lord) Christ the son of Mary; yet they were commanded to worship but One Allah: there is no god but He. Praise and glory to Him: (Far is He) from having the partners they associate (with Him).
Translation of the Quran, Surah At Tawbah, 9:30-31
On Saturday the 18th came the visit to London of the Taghout ( false god) Pope Benedict the leader of the crusade against Islam in our lifetime, whereby he was to parade himself to the general public in Hyde Park to a cheering crowd of Christians who sadly see this man as a partner to Allah when they should pay their worship and veneration to the Lord who fashioned them in due proportion.
I decided to attend this demo and I was eager to join with the brothers together to speak out against this evil man and his evil beliefs, before I left my home I prayed to Allah after performing two sunnah after zuhr to help us in commanding the good and forbidding the evil at this demonstration and also against the Pope.
I arrived in London and met some brothers at the station we waited around for the other brothers and then we went and met some more brothers and then we proceed into two lines to walk to hyde park and set up the place where the demonstration was due to take place.
Barely five minutes in two EDL members came up to us saying loudly like a bunch of gorillas EDL! EDL! EDL! and the brothers responded with Allahu Akbar the police took the Police took the two EDL thugs away and following which one of them was arrested cant seem to stay out of trouble can they?
The demonstration went ahead and there was the usual cries of Allahu Akbar and La Ilaha IllAllah altogether it was a iman boost for me and it made me feel comfortable to help in enjoining good and forbidding evil, There was a few speakers at the demonstration including brother Anjem as this was also a chance to give dawah to the Christians to invite them to Islam and if Allah wills someone from amongst that Christian crowd will open their eyes, though these were the hardcore of Christian Pope worshippers.
It was Asr time and I had to pray so I was about to pray on my own until some brothers joined me for a jammat to pray together with me as the imam so I led them in prayer as I was a traveller and then we finished praying went back into demonstrating against the evil man who claims to be a man of God.
Following an address by the brothers about the crusade against Islam taking place in the Muslim lands and the past history of the crusades and what the Bible instructs its followers to do such as killing anyone who doesn’t Believe in God even women and children there was then the chance to catch a glimpse of the pope who I saw being driven in the pope Mobil.
This
man insulted the prophet sallahu alayhi wasalam a few years saying he
brought nothing but the sword meaning that Islam forced people to become
muslim and that Islam is a violent religion whereas there are plenty of
skeletons in the history of the christian closet.We shouted altogether at the pope Burn In Hell for his crimes and that is the fate that awaits him in the hell fire unless he repents to Allah and embraces Islam and accepts Allah as his Lord and Muhammad sallahu alayhi wasalam as the final prophet and messenger.
The adrenaline at the demonstration was immense and it felt good inside my heart to join altogether in a group to speak out against the injustice and hypocrisy of this man.
Also don’t forget the many paedophile priests who molested children and this was covered up by this same Pope so where is the is this justice for them? And what was the fault of the children were they responsible and were they victims? Certainly not and no person is above the law.
I
enjoyed this demonstration it was my sixth this year I myself used to
believe Jesus alayhi salaatu was salaam was the Son Of Allah and I used
to wear the cross until I embraced Islam and accepted Allah as the
Almighty Lord who I obey and worship.I hope with Allahs will and mercy that one christian from amongst the crowd of the christian population who was there at Hyde Park takes heed of the invitation to islam that was offered to them and embraces this deen of truth and dies on the belief of the way of the previous prophets and he will earn a big reward by Allah.
This is my story and May Allah reward those who took part, ameen.
And from among you there should be a group who invite to the
good and enjoin what is right and forbid what the wrong, and these it is
that shall be successful.
Translation of the Quran, Surah al Imraan, 3:104

Is Fasting only for Ramadhan? NO!
Islam Q&A – On What days on which it is prescribed to observe naafil (supererogatory) fasts?
Praise be to Allaah. By His Wisdom, Allaah has prescribed that His slaves should voluntarily seek to draw closer to Him, after performing the obligatory acts of worship, by doing more of the same kinds of acts of worship, and He has assigned to that great rewards, as the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) told us that his Lord said: “My slave does not draw near to Me with anything more beloved to Me than the religious duties I have enjoined upon him, and My slave continues to draw near to Me with supererogatory works so that I will love him, When I love him, I am his hearing with which he hears, he seeing with which he sees, his hand with which he strikes and his foot with which he walks. Were he to ask [something] of Me, I would surely give it to him, and were he to ask Me for refuge, I would surely grant him it.” (al-Bukhaari, 6502)…

Private School headmaster jailed for Gay sex abuse
If you speak to older people who went to private schools in
Britain they will tell you that homosexual abuse is rife in such
establishments and that either they themselves or someone they knew was
abused by either the teachers or other students, often in quite horrifc
ways.
Why generation after generation of people would continue to
send their boys to be used and abused by these perverts is beyond me,
most of the time they knew what happened as they had lived through it
themselves but still off they sent their little children to follow in
the family footsteps of wealth, privilege and sodomy…

Saudi telecom shuts websites violating Kings Fatwa edict
Updated: Saudi Arabia’s telecom regulator has shut down several websites that were violating the demands of Saudi King Abdullah and his decree limiting the issuance of religious edicts to the country’s most senior group of Government clerics only.
But King Abdullah has been trying to clamp down on ultraconservative ideology, including reining in the fatwas from various groups who are seen as a challenge on his authority, and the authority of the Saudi clan to rule the country, and take it increasingly in a more liberal direction…

EDL run out of Nuneaton after Soldiers home coming parade
Muslims are never happy having returning crusaders march through city and town centres but such a parade of murderers passed without incident as they usually do today when the Royal Regiment of Fusiliers were given freedom of the borough but that didn’t stop the EDL from trying to cause trouble anyway.
The parade had been flagged up on their own EDL chat forums (which I do sneakily snoop on from time to time) as one to go and cause trouble at, after all the Nuneaton Muslim community is tiny with only has a couple of Masaajid, a few Halal foodshops and takeaways so just the sort of place the EDL will look to go to after having their snot kicked out of them in Bradford, East London and elsewhere…

‘British Heroes’ Smuggling Heroin back into the UK
By The Islamic Standard Reporter, Ali Hussain Ludlow
With the crusade against Islam intensifying in Afghanistan where many muslims have been bombed and slaughtered by the Christians and secularists, there has emerged stories that the british soldiers, the ‘heroes’ constantly bigged up in the press have been using their military aircraft and lack of customs checks to smuggle heroin out of Afghanistan into the UK.
Defense Ministry officials said the accusations are said by the BBC to have originated with Afghans working with the British military following which procedures to ensure the prevention of drug trafficking was carried out have been massively beefed up on the airfields where British aircraft fly back troops, equipment and even casualties…

Case for the Prosecution of Pope Benedict XVI

In both UK and Shariah law a person covering up, facilitating and helping in a crime is also due for punishment and Pope Benedict was XVI was for nearly 25 years head of Catholicism’s cover up unit, the ‘Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith’ which deals with all discipline issues affecting the Catholic Church.
So for near a quarter of century he led the body which covered up the sexual abuse of children by priests, mainly little boys who would be sodomised and abused in what some Catholics refer to as Endemic numbers…

Protest against the Pope, Hyde Park corner, Saturday 18th September

Muslims against the Crusades are planning a demonstration against this man, and his beliefs in London and said we “are also reminded of the gravity of his visit and the need for Muslims to rise and account the crimes of this very wicked man; the Pope’s habit for sacrilegious speech, poignantly became manifest on 12th September 2006, where he cunningly proceeded to endorse the slander of our beloved Messenger Muhammad (saw), through calculated comments deliberately intended to malign the Deen of Al-Islam…”

Case for the Prosecution of Pope Benedict XVI
Posted in Broken Britain, Catholic Church, Chickens coming home to roost, Christianity, False religions, UK News, World News with tags Abuse, Cardinal Ratzinger, Catholic, Children, Church, Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith, gay, Pope Benedict, shariah, Sodomy, UK on September 16, 2010 by Abu Khadijah
As he flew to Scotland, at the start of his UK visit the Pope spoke of his “sadness” over his church’s handling of child abuse by his priests, but let’s be blunt and clear here of all the Church leaders he is the one who will know most about such abuse.
In both UK and Shariah law a person covering up, facilitating and helping in a crime is also due for punishment and Pope Benedict was XVI was for nearly 25 years head of Catholicism’s cover up unit, the ‘Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith’ which deals with all discipline issues affecting the Catholic Church.
So for near a quarter of century he led the body which covered up the sexual abuse of children by priests, mainly little boys who would be sodomised and abused in what some Catholics refer to as Endemic numbers.
4.3% of Catholic Priests in North America were suspected of abuse, almost all of them moved onto other areas where abuse would begin again, then again, then again.
If such a percentage was true over the rest of the Catholic Church the 10,000 abuse cases reported so far is only the tiny tip of the iceberg so how did they get away with it for so long?
Until very recently if a Catholic child made an allegation against the local priest, if it was believed at all (remember Catholic believe these people grant forgiveness on behalf of God and many hold them in God-like awe) it would make its way up the chain of command until reaching the then Cardinal Ratzinger’s organisation who would usually move the Priest to another parish, or if particularly bad abuse which had become more widely known then to a different country.
So the present Pope was in charge of cleaning up the Catholic Churches mess, buggered altar boys and their stunned families, the most pious of the Pope followers would be sworn to secrecy whilst the Church conducted its investigations and even if found guilty under Papal law the priest could just make confession, move on and start again elsewhere and allegations were almost never passed on to the legal authorities in each country.
The Church protected its own, and it’s clear its own was not the youngest reported victim so far, a 2 year old child in Belgium but the priest who abused him who was protected along with the reputation of the Church he represented and protected from prosecution.
Official
reports in that most Catholic of nations, the Republic of Ireland said
that sexual abuse of children by priests was widespread and common and
described it as “endemic” in Catholic boys’ institutes, the Churchmen
who ran the orphanages and boys homes were known by their charges as the
Christian buggers, not their official title of Christian brothers, a
now disbanded and discredited Catholic order.Geoffrey Robertson QC said the Pope’s office should provide no immunity: “benefit of clergy” has long been abolished in Britain, where the first principle of the rule of law is that formulated by Dr Thomas Fuller in 1733: “Be you ever so high, the law is above you”. As Lord Bingham explained it earlier this year, “If you maltreat a penguin in the London zoo, you do not escape prosecution because you are the Archbishop of Canterbury.”
Similarly in Shariah law, the man who continuously oversaw the coverup of a crime, even if he didn’t partake in sodomy himself would be prosecuted under the Shariah law and quite possibly share the same punishment as his gay sodomising horde of Priests. If found guilty then executed by being thrown off a high building or cliff to cause the crushing injuries which God used to finish off the people of Sodom and Gomorrah.
But at the direction of the Vatican, i.e Cardinal Ratzinger’s organisation – ‘Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith’, these filthy priests were dealt with in such a way that removed the risk of from exposure of them (and the Church), silenced their victims, aided and abetted many abusers to move onto pastures new and innocent, whilst always keeping back evidence of their serious crimes from the legal authorities in the land they were committed.
Many victims and their families, who lets not forget came from the most pious sections of Catholic society felt violated twice, once by the criminal and once again by the criminal and culpable actions of the Church which ran their own legal system where the guilty need only repent and then go unpunished and the lips of their victims were sealed – by forced oaths and confidential legal settlements.
The Barrister Geoffrey Robbinson states “The church’s response is that hierarchical sex abuse occurs in all religious institutions and in secular schools, and it is wrong to “stereotype” the Roman Catholic priesthood. But the evidence does reliably show a markedly higher level of abuse in Catholic institutions, and in any event the defence misses the point – namely that this church, through its pretensions to be a state, with its own non-punitive canon law, has actually covered up the abuse and harboured the abusers.”
Exactly the allegation laid at the gates of the Catholics by this blog, they just don’t get it still, bad enough to abuse, even to let abuse become so widespread but to cover up and protect the guilty means those doing the covering up are equally to blame under British law and indeed the Shariah law should the Pope ever come before a Shariah court.
Catholicism is particularly vulnerable to this sort of abuse as it gives a God like status to its priests in the eyes of Children, something my own father who was brought a Catholic confirms.
Father Tom Doyle, an outspoken critic of the Vatican’s stance on cases of abuse, explains the phenomenon of child obedience to a priest’s sexual requests as induced by “reverential fear” – the victims have such emotional and psychological respect for the abuser that they cannot deny their requests: “Catholics are indoctrinated from their childhood that priests take the place of Jesus Christ and are to be obeyed at all costs, and never questioned or criticised.”
Just last night it was revealed on the Channel 4 evening news that the Catholic Church in the UK had watered down its own guidelines that any priest convicted and sentenced to more than 1 year in prison should be defrocked but this is still not happening in most cases and now the guidelines only state it should be considered and in the mean time they are still officially registered as priests, their wages, accomodation and living expences paid for by the Catholic faithful – the very people they abused in the first place.
As Muslims we have deep differences with Christians, but Catholics especially. They seem to sum-up the worse aspects of worshipping of pious men we are forbidden in the Quran and traditions of Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) who often warned his followers not to exaggerate about him after he died as the Christians and Jews did about their pious dead.
But as Muslims we also have a duty to stand up to oppression, especially against those who are incapable of defending themselves and wars in the past have been started over less.
It was in the end the rape of just one girl which justified the force of Muslims who invaded and conquered the Iberian peninsula and though I am not calling for all out war or for anyone to take the law into their own hands, Pope Benedict should certainly be arrested if he ever comes to a Shariah ruled country and if found guilty under a Shariah court then punished to the full extent of Shariah law for his crimes.
Obviously a sinful person can repent, though as a Muslim I would question whether such an open idolator as a Catholic are could have their repentance accepted by God almighty, but there must also be an answering in this life which is something the Catholic Church still doesn’t get and if presented with the opportunity the Muslims of the world should teach them this lesson and finally give some justice to the victims of this idolatrous and abusive organisation.

New York Taxi Driver attacked for being Muslim
Michael Enright, a middle class student of film and cinema who just returned from filming U.S. Marines in Afghanistan used a pocket knife to slash a cabbie – just because the driver was Muslim, police said on Wednesday.
Enright, 21, of upstate Brewster, was charged with felony attempted murder as a hate crime – among other crimes – after the sick attack on Ahmed Sharif, 43, which occured last Tuesday night.
He slashed Taxi driver Sharif across the face, arm and hand after asking the Bangladesh-born cabbie if he was Muslim and then saying ‘As-salaam alaikum’ – which means ‘peace be unto you’ in Arabic, before beginning the attack…

Reaping The Benefits Of Ramadan
By Sheikh Ali At Tamimi, may Allah grant him Sabr and hasten his release, ameen
In the month of Ramadaan it is very important that we spent a few moments to understand some of the wisdoms and lessons that we can learn from this month of fasting.
Unfortunately, many Muslims come in to this month and they are as a companion of the Prophet, peace be upon him, said: “Let it not be that the day that you fast and the day that you break fast be equal.” Meaning, one’s behaviour, attitude and outlook are the same whether one fasts or not, i.e. fasting has no effect upon that person. This is why we need to reflect on some of these lessons…

Instead what happened was 700 or so EDL supporters turned up and tried to cause trouble but did little more than look foolish on the television cameras and get slapped around away from the camera crews…

Secret recordings reveal a senior figure in the Catholic church pleaded with a sex abuse victim to delay going public about his ordeal until the 73-year-old bishop who had abused him resigned, writes Jonathan Rugman.
The self-confessed abuser was 73-year-old Bishop Roger Vangheluwe of Bruges (pictured right), who was forced to resign in disgrace earlier this year after his nephew accused him of abuse from the age of five to 18.
But the apparent cover up goes even higher up the Catholic Church than that: to the Bishop’s former boss, Cardinal Godfried Danneels, the ex-head of the Church in Belgium. He was secretly taped in April – before the Bishop resigned – urging the victim not to go public…

The battle for hearts and minds in Somalia has long been fought and won on the basis of tribe and tribal allegiances. But with the rapidly changing political landscape, particularly here in Southern Somalia, a recent shift in perspective has had a tremendous effect on the Somali population. Today the battle of hearts and mind is fought and won on the basis of religion and the people of Somalia judge the worth of an administration by what it can do to alleviate the suffering of the population or by the number of services they can provide the public; and here there is a great divide…

The horrors of the Bosnian War are still part of the living memory of many people, how the Serbs waged a terrible war in the name of ethnic pride and their Christian faith, supported by their orthodox priests.
Serb football ‘fans’ to this day shout the cry “Noz, ZICA, Srebrenica!” meaning “knife, wire, Srebrenica” glorifying in their attacks and murder of over 6000 civilian dead in the massacre of that city.
So it comes as no surprise to see Serbs up to their old tricks last week and in fights before and after the Anderlecht – Partizan Belgrade Champions League qualifications match, fighting the local people and harassing women…

The Sufi Disintegration in Somalia
From Mogadishu Man blog
When Al-Shabaab exhumed the graves of the Sufi scholars in their Polytheism Eradication Campaign, all the people here in Mogadishu expected, in addition to the usual public outcries, an all-out war between Al-Shabaab and Ahlu Sunna Wal Jamaa’a (ASWJ). Radio stations were abuzz with debates, coffee shops were alive with the silent Somali murmurs, animated discussions filled the public gatherings and the vociferous Sufi supporters protested as much as they could. But when the campaign swept through Somalia, leaving no stone unturned in its quest, and the Sufis, except for their spokesman vehemently expressing his sorrow on the airwaves and some demonstrations outside Somalia, silently bewailed their loss, the public noticed something slightly disconcerting. Was this all ASWJ could do? Or was there something more to come? The answer was painfully led down ASWJ supporters. Nothing happened; not the much expected boldness in words and deeds, not the gathering of forces and not even the slightest of movement towards reclaiming their lost honour and saving the reputation of their saints…

This notorious private contractor is spreading its tentacles in Pakistan for undercover activities on behalf of the US agencies
Not too long ago, a wave of concern had swept through Pakistan when the local media began screaming about Blackwater’s growing infiltration in the country and its dubious activities. The mounting pressure to expel this infamous US defense contractor put the Zardari government in a corner. It could neither ignore public pressure nor displease its benefactors in Washington. In the end, it chose to vehemently deny these stories. Pakistan’s interior minister, Rehman Malik, said publicly he would resign if Blackwater is found operating anywhere in Pakistan, as if his resignation would be a great loss for the people…

US Muslim soldier refuses to serve…
A Muslim brother serving as a soldier has made tawbah and is now trying to avoid deployment to Afghanistan. He said his year in the Army has shown him that “no Muslim should serve in the U.S. military.”
ABC news in America reported that Pfc. Naser Abdo, 20, has filed for conscientious objector status, which would allow him to leave the Army without consequence, on the belief that his Islamic faith and one-time desire to serve his country can’t be reconciled.
“A Muslim is not allowed to participate in an Islamicly unjust war,” the Texan told ABCNews.com. “Any Muslim who knows his religion or maybe takes into account what his religion says can find out very clearly why he should not participate in the U.S. military.”

Ikhlass (sincerity) cannot be combined in the heart together with the love of being praised and the greed for what other people have, except in the way that water and fire are combined.
So if your conscious tells you to seek ikhlaas, then turn to greed firstly, and slaughter it with the knife of despair [1], then turn to the love of being praised and abandon it like how those who adore the life of this world abandon the hereafter. If you are successful in slaughtering greed and in abandoning the love of being praised, then ikhlaas will be easy for you…

New York Taxi Driver attacked for being Muslim
Michael Enright, a middle class student of film and cinema who just returned from filming U.S. Marines in Afghanistan used a pocket knife to slash a cabbie – just because the driver was Muslim, police said on Wednesday.
Enright, 21, of upstate Brewster, was charged with felony attempted murder as a hate crime – among other crimes – after the sick attack on Ahmed Sharif, 43, which occured last Tuesday night.
He slashed Taxi driver Sharif across the face, arm and hand after asking the Bangladesh-born cabbie if he was Muslim and then saying ‘As-salaam alaikum’ – which means ‘peace be unto you’ in Arabic, before beginning the attack…

Reaping The Benefits Of Ramadan
By Sheikh Ali At Tamimi, may Allah grant him Sabr and hasten his release, ameen
In the month of Ramadaan it is very important that we spent a few moments to understand some of the wisdoms and lessons that we can learn from this month of fasting.
Unfortunately, many Muslims come in to this month and they are as a companion of the Prophet, peace be upon him, said: “Let it not be that the day that you fast and the day that you break fast be equal.” Meaning, one’s behaviour, attitude and outlook are the same whether one fasts or not, i.e. fasting has no effect upon that person. This is why we need to reflect on some of these lessons…

Instead what happened was 700 or so EDL supporters turned up and tried to cause trouble but did little more than look foolish on the television cameras and get slapped around away from the camera crews…

Chechen President’s Model Village Attacked by Mujahideen
Tsentoroi is something of a showcase of Chechen support for Russian occupation in this overwhelmingly hostile Muslim country.
Somewhere where foreign journalists and dignitaries can be brought outside the still shattered capital to see a secular rural ideal that the vicious tyrant Ramzan Kadyrov would like to see the whole country live under to once his death squads have finished liquidating all opposition and potential opposition.
So it is somewhat embarrassing that Sunday saw at least 19 people were killed after the Mujahideen launched an audacious attack on the heavily defended residence of Chechnya’s pro-Kremlin president in the village…

Uganda and Burundi have deployed more than 6,300 troops to support Somalia’s Transitional Federal Government (TFG) which are pinned down in a few square blocks around the Presidental Palace, protecting the Secularist kufr government of ‘President’ Sheikh Ahmed Sharif and the PM Omar Abdirashid Ali Sharmarke…

Yet Another Catholic Sex Scandle Cover-up…

Channel 4 News
Secret recordings reveal a senior figure in the Catholic church pleaded with a sex abuse victim to delay going public about his ordeal until the 73-year-old bishop who had abused him resigned, writes Jonathan Rugman.
The self-confessed abuser was 73-year-old Bishop Roger Vangheluwe of Bruges (pictured right), who was forced to resign in disgrace earlier this year after his nephew accused him of abuse from the age of five to 18.
But the apparent cover up goes even higher up the Catholic Church than that: to the Bishop’s former boss, Cardinal Godfried Danneels, the ex-head of the Church in Belgium. He was secretly taped in April – before the Bishop resigned – urging the victim not to go public.
The tape was made by the abuse victim, now a 42-year-old man, who has said he made the recording to counter rumours apparently put about by the church that he had received hush money from his uncle to gain his silence.
The recording was made on 8 April and lasts for more than 18 minutes. In order to counter the charge that it has been selectively edited, the transcript was published in full in two Belgian Flemish newspapers over the weekend.
“The Bishop will resign next year, so actually it would be better for you to wait,” the Cardinal tells the victim, when they are discussing whether to go public on the abuse.
The victim replies: “No, I can’t agree that he takes his leave in glory, I can’t do that.”
The Cardinal says: “I dont think you’d do yourself or him a favour by shouting this from the rooftops,” before imploring the man not to drag the Bishop’s “name through the mud”.
“He has dragged my whole life through the mud, from five until 18 years old,” counters the victim. “Why do you feel so sorry for him and not for me? You’re always trying to defend him. I thought I was going to get some support, but I have to sit here and defend myself against things I can’t do anything about.”
The Cardinal’s spokesman says he has been quoted selectively but a spokesman for his successor has said the transcript speaks for itself. Child abuse scandals have swept the Catholic church worldwide, but what makes this one different is that we have a verbatim transcript of a Cardinal’s response.
Speaking not 10 years ago, but in April this year, and claiming in the tape that he has no authority over the offending Bishop, because authority, he says, rests with the Pope himself. This was just after Pope Benedict had apologised to victims of abuse in Ireland and when damning evidence of older cover-ups from Germany and the United States was coming to light through the press.

Khalid Kelly Beaten in his home by Irish Police!
Posted in Jahil ways of life, War on Islam, World News with tags Catholic, Dublin, Garda, Ireland, Islam, Khalid Kelly, muslim, Protestant, Punishment beating on July 29, 2010 by Abu Khadijah
The
Term Punishment beating and the Island of Ireland have an unfortunate
correlation with thousands beaten for stepping out of line by either the
Catholic or Protestant factions during the troubles and even to today
if the ‘former’ militants feel they have been slighted in any way.
Now Dublin Garda (police) seem to want to get in on
the act with Khalid Kelly, a well known Da’ee (caller to Islam, the
tawhid and islamic way) being brutally beaten up in his Dublin Home on
Wednesday 21st July 2010 in an operation involving over 30 armed Irish
Police in a totally unprovoked and premeditated attack.
The main attack against our brother Khalid Kelly was carried out by 5 or 6 plain clothed officers during which his face and body was punched and kicked leading to him being left in a pool of blood with his nose broken and body severely bruised.
They had burst into his home whilst he entertained guests, didn’t even announce they were police before beating him to the ground and assaulting him for several minutes.
The Muslim community globally are rightly outraged and we wonder where and when the next attack against an innocent Muslim in Ireland will occur and where this is all going to lead as many Muslims facing persecution in the UK had left and gone to Ireland in the hope of avoiding harassment there.
Khalid Kelly is a former student of radical preacher Omar Bakri Muhammad and has always propagated that he lives in Ireland under a covenant of security where the life and the wealth of the Irish is protected in return for his life and wealth being protected. Such a covenant does not now appear to be true in the case of himself.
Khalid Kelly has been an open critic of the war in Afghanistan and Iraq, for which the Irish regime have allowed Shannon airport to be used as a fuelling post for American planes flying over for bombing raids against Muslim civilians. It seems that the Taoiseach Brian Cowen could well be complicit in trying to silence such voices of opposition to its aiding and abetting the US crusade in Muslim countries.
In his own words Khalid describes the attack:
‘…its hard to remember how long it went on for I was kicked and punched all over my body and at one stage I curled up into a ball to protect my head and vital organs but the beating continued. Then I was placed on my stomach and my hands placed behind my back and I was handcuffed but even at that stage when I thought they would cease to beat me it still continued with kicks and punches. I began to recite the Qur’an and I was told to keep quiet and at that stage my head was smashed on the floor and blood started to pour from my nose and I think when they saw the pool of blood then they stopped punching me. I was stood up but with my head forced down and was dragged to the bedroom area and thrown to my knees but all the time there was continual shouting cursing using foul language as there had been from the beginning of the ordeal…’
The tactics described above are not dissimilar to those used against Muslims around the world in Guantanamo bay and in Bagram Air Base, leading to speculation that Khalid was singled out to be beaten or tortured with the hope that he remain silent, the Irish special branch already having warned him in April 2010 of consequences should he continue to speak with the media and to spread his ‘radical views’.
Spanish mayor closes ‘too popular’ Masjid
Posted in Catholic Church, Christianity, False religions, War on Islam, Women in Islam, World News with tags Catholic, Crusades, Inquisition, Lleida, Masjid, Mosque, muslim, Niqab, Socialist, Spain, Women in Islam on July 24, 2010 by Abu Khadijah
A Spanish mayor has told Muslim worshippers to “pray at home” and closed the town’s mosque because it was “too popular."
Angel Ros, the socialist mayor of Lleida, in the northeastern region of Catalonia, complained that the mosque was too full and closed it on Wednesday until further notice depriving Muslims of a place to pray in Jammat or even for Jummah prayers.
The building, was often filled with crowds exceeding a thousand people, the council said, saying was too many people praying in one place and ordered them home.
This is a country where Catholic Churches and town halls and squares are often packed for Christian festivals, many of which date back to Muslim persecution where those forced to Convert were made to eat pork and drink wine to prove their catholic faith.
A new mosque is under construction on the outskirts of the town presumably away from Spaniards who might otherwise be upset seeing Muslims going to pray 5 times a day but even that is months away from completion at least and funding has anyway dried up in the harsh economic circumstances.
“The municipality has no obligation to provide places of worship,” Mr Ros said in response to complaints from the town’s Muslim population over the closure. “Those that wish can pray at home, as I do,” he added.
He is so kind… He is letting the Muslims pray at home, how good of him to let Muslims pray in their own homes if they want. The Muslims should tell him to stick his executive order where the Sun don’t shine and pray in the street, outside his Town hall office if necessary!
The move follows a recent ban on women wearing the burka or niqab in municipal building in the Catalan town. In June Lleida was the first town council in Spain to introduce a ban, which has since been adopted by half a dozen other councils, including Barcelona, the capital of the region.
Abdelwahab Houzi, the local imam, said the mosque closure had added to the Muslim community’s sense of “persecution” by authorities, which is putting it lightly.
Only 5% of Spaniards reguarly go to Church at least once a week, but the rest showing their faith only during festivals but the Muslims take their duties to the creator much more seriously and the Masjid is not only a place of worship, but a social centre for men and women, a place of education and religious instruction and no Kafir should be able to take it from us.
Echoes of the Past and Hope for the Future
Islam once thrived in Spain after Muslims crossed over into what we still call Al-Andalus at the invitation of persecuted Christians. For several centuries Muslims, Jews and Christians thrived together in Southern and Central Spain but then through disunity and corruption of the people and rulers, we lost this beautiful land.
The Christians in awe didn’t know what to do with Corbaba Masjid shown in this picture, it was beyond anything they could construct but at the back of the picture you will see the horid start of a tiny Christian Cathedral sqauting in the middle of what was once one of the greatest Masaajid in the world.
It seems recent news shows that the Spaniards are determined despite their claims to be a modern democracy to try not to let Islam gain a foothold in the country again where they spend hundreds of years driving it out and persecuting its secret adherents who could face torture and death at the hands of the ‘Holy’ Inquisition.
Crusading armies from all over Europe raped, pillaged and murdered their way through the divided Muslims of Al-Andalus who had become corrupted and life-loving. The crusading Catholics helped by an army from the South of England sacked what is today the Portuguese city of Lisbon, killing 154,000 Muslim, Jewish and non-Catholic Christian men, women and children in an orgy of destruction, rape and blood-letting lasting several days just in that one city.
The Catholic Church despite recent moves to appear mellowed out in its public statements still believes the Inquisition and Crusades to be valid and correct then and Priest’s will not say they were wrong or couldn’t be used again in the future if they ever were in a position to do so.
Despite the best efforts of Catholics and Secularists alike in Spain, Islam continues its revival there with thousands of people accepting Islam and rejecting the Catholic and Socialist creeds of disbelief and idolatry and the plummeting birth rate leaving many Spanish worried that Muslims will not need to invade Spain to take it back, they need only keep out-converting and out-breeding the Iberians.
In a reversal of history, the Spaniards, loving their corrupted lifestyles too much are losing their youth and their country to Islam – the way of life of many of their forefathers and if the Muslims are courageous enough and dertermined enough to put their trust in Allah, Al-Andalus could become a land resounding to the call of the Adhaan once again.
Papal anger at Belgian Church Paedo priest investigations
Posted in Catholic Church, Chickens coming home to roost, Christianity, False religions, World News with tags Allah, Belgium, Benedict, Catholic, Christianity, Islam, muslim, paedophile, Pope, Quran, Vatican on June 27, 2010 by Abu Khadijah
Pope
Benedict has joined mounting Vatican criticism of raids by Belgian
police investigating alleged child sex abuse, calling them “deplorable”. The Pope who previously compared Police investigations into the many thousands of Paedophile priest allegations around the world to a Nazi witch hunt and now compares them to anti-religious drives under communist rule in eastern Europe.
In a message to Belgian bishops, the pope expressed solidarity “in this moment of sadness” over raids in relation to investigations into allegations of abuse and cover-up.
Several buildings were searched in raids targeting a retired archbishop and the graves of two prelates in those buildings and documents and items including personal computers taken away as suspected evidence.
In the past Catholic children and their parents were expected to keep quiet about abusive priests, who even if they had multiple allegations against them would be just moved to another Church where the abuse would start again.
Now the Catholic Church is in dire trouble after decades of bullying and hushing up allegations of abuse, portraying what some would say is a culture of impunity for priests in the past over allegations of soddomy and other child sex abuse by hundreds of priests, nuns and monks with one monastic order who looked after boys homes in Ireland being nicknamed the Christian buggers by their children instead of their proper name the Christian brothers.
The Pope’s latest comments shows they still don’t get it… so lets spell it out for them in clear terms…
PRIESTS BUGGERING LITTLE BOYS IS BAD, THE CHURCH COVERING UP AND ALLOWING IT CONTINUE FOR DECADES IF NOT LONGER IS EVEN WORSE!
Are we all clear now?
The problem is that the Catholic Church is meant to not make mistakes as an institution and neither is the Pope but both have clearly covered up abuse in the past, leaving homosexual priests free to commit decades of abuse without anyone ever letting the Police know about it.
Well
they can’t let anything as small as a little child being buggered get
in the way of making money leeching off the poor can they?As Muslims lets reach out to the Christians who are suffering a crisis in faith in the Church by showing them the true message of Jesus Christ (upon him be peace), as a Prophet of God, a humble, simple man calling to the teachings of God, not the son of God, or a partner with God or part of God but a righteous man, a human being.
Lets tell these Christians…
Qul, hu-wallahu ‘ahad,
Say, he is Allah – the one,
Allahus-Samad,
Allah the eternally besought,
Lam yalid wa lam yuulad,
He begets not, nor was begotten,
Walam yakul-la-huu, kufuwan ‘ahad,
And there is none comparable to him.
(Quran, Chapter Ikhlaas)
