In the words of the Imams
The sources for all these quotes are on the internet. Need I add that these are less than a tithe of a tithe ofthe outpourings of bigotry, hatred, vile anti-semitism, calls-to-violence etc. that are the stock-in-trade of many Imams and Sheikhs – when speaking to Muslims that is?

Let me assure the reader that this is merely the flavour of what is said – much inevitably goes unrecorded and unreported. In other words, these arewhat the Imams deemed “fit for public consumption” rather than what may be said in “closed session”.

On non-Muslims.

Sheikh Omar Bakri Mohammed (Syrian-born British cleric): “We don’t make a distinction between civilians and non-civilians… Only between Muslims and unbelievers . And the life of an unbeliever has no value .”
Comment: Bakri is being very hard on Kaffirs here. According to the Laws of Qisas the non-Muslim’s life is worth half that of a Muslim, but this may only apply to dhimmis.

Sheik Riyadh ul Haq ( Leicester UK Mosques ): “the ones who are bitterest in their enmity towards Muslims, the most unrelenting, unforgiving, are the Jews and the idolators in all their forms [this use of “idolators” means all non-Muslims in effect]. And lest someone say that’s provocative or that is anti-Semitic,Allah, the creator of the Semite, says that.” Comment : So that’s all right then. I can be a nasty, racist, xenophobic promoter of Islamist intolerance because my god is too!

Sheik Nader Tamimi , Mufti of the Palestinian Liberation Army: “We Will Restore the Caliphate and You [the West] Will Pay the Jizya or else we will bring the sword to your necks.” Comment: so much for the“religion of Peace” TM . Also note that this isn’t “compulsion” since we have a choice – Jizya or death.

On Islamic supremacy.

Imam Abu Hamza al-Masri (Imam in Britain, Finsbury Park Mosque, London ): “ The real weapons of mass destruction are the desire for martyrdom… Half a million martyrdom shaheed is enough for Muslims to control the whole of earth forever. In the end of the day, Islam must control earth, whether we like it or not.” Comment: Thus the Imam is pursuing the Koran-mandated goal of world domination. It sounds like a bad B-movie plot, but it isn’t – and that is something that should concern us all. He is also calling for a half-million suicide-bombersto blow themselves up whilst murdering non-Muslims.

Dr Ijaz Mian (Derby mosques): “You are in a situation in which you have to live like a state within astate, until you take over.” Comment: And we wonder why Muslims do not integrate? And waste time on “Outreach” etc.

Imam Amir-Abdel Malik-Ali (Masjid Al Islam mosque, Oakland, CA): “ We must implement Islam as a totality (in which) Allah controls every place… the home, the classroom, the science lab, the halls of Congress.” Comment: this is what full-blown Islam means. Everything , every act, every thought, is subordinated to Islam. It makes Orwells’ dystopia “1984” look benign and enlightened.

Imam Siraj Wahhaj (Masjid Al-Taqwa mosque. Brooklyn, N.Y): “In time, this so-called democracy will crumble, and there will be nothing. And the only thing left will be Islam.”
Comment: and the world will return to the stone-age.

Imam Zaid Shakir (Former Chaplain at Yale University): “ Muslims cannot accept the legitimacy of the existing American order, since it is against the orders and ordainments of Allah.” Comment: Don’t think that is limited to America – any non-Sharia governed order must be overthrown.

Omar Ahmad (Council on American Islamic Relations, CAIR, not an Iman, but a “representative” of American Islam): “Islam isn’t in America to be equal to any other faith, but to become dominant . The Koran, the Muslim book of scripture, should be the highest authority in America, and Islam the only accepted religion on earth…” Comment : as above.

Ihsan Bagby (CAIR, as above): “Ultimately, we (Muslims) can never be full citizens of this country [America] … because there is no way we can be fully committed to the institutions and ideologies of this country…” Comment: nor any other non-Sharia Country.

On war, terror, violence and jihad.

Sheikh Omar Bakri Mohammed: “ Britain is dar-ul Harb…There should be, will be, new operations [terrorattacks] in London, inshallah [god willing].” Comment: why terrorist attacks? To “strike terror into the hearts” of the Kaffirs, of course – and to deny them a legitimate target in return.

Imam Abu Hamza al-Masri : “ Killing a Kafir for any reason , you can say it, it i s OK – even if there is no reason for it.” Comment: killing Kaffirs is justfine and dandy with Allah.

Imam Abu Hamza al-Masri : “It [murder-bombing] is not called suicide [in Islam], this is called martyring,because if the only way to hurt the enemies of Islam [is] by taking your life for that then it is allowed.” Comment: if you can’t fight in an open Jihad against Kaffirs, it’s definitely Okay to blow yourself up, provided you take some Kaffirs with you.

Imam Abdul Alim Musa (Al Masjid mosque, Washington, D.C.) “If you don’t give us justice. If you don’t give us equality. If you don’t give us our share of America . If you don’t stay out of our way and leave us alone, we’re gonna burn America down.” Comment : a clear statement that (some) American Muslims want their own state(s) and a separate society within America.

Imam Muhammad Al-Asi (Former Imam at the Washington, D.C. Islamic Center): “Now, all our Imams, our public speakers, should be concentrating on militarising the Muslim public… Only carrying arms will do this task.” Comment: a ‘call to arms’ as a prelude to starting a civil war.

Nihad Awad (CAIR): “I am in support of the Hamas movement.” Comment: Therefore you are a terrorist,possibly a “passive” one, but a terrorist nevertheless.

Edina Lekovic ( Muslim Public Affairs Council, MPAC): “When we hear someone refer to the great mujahid Osama bin Laden as a ‘terrorist’, we should defend our brother and refer to him as a freedom fighter (Sanusi said something similar)…” Comment: To the Muslim there are no terrorists in Islam, just freedom fighters and shaheeds. This despite the fact that ‘Mujhaid’ bin Laden’s organisation killed more Muslims than non-Muslims.

Ayatollah Khomeini: “Those who know nothing of Islam pretend that Islam counsels against war. Those (who say this) are witless. Islam says: kill all of the unbelievers as they would kill you all.”

On Islamic tolerance and equality.

Sheikh Abdul Aziz bin Abdullah , ( the Grand Mufti of Saudi Arabia): “[it is] necessary to destroy all the churches of the region [Arabian Peninsula].” Note: The Grand Mufti made his assertion in response to a question posed by a delegation from Kuwait: a Kuwaitiparliament member recently called for the “removal” of churches (he later “clarified” by saying he merely meant that no churches should be built in Kuwait), and the delegation wanted to confirm Sharia’s position on churches. Accordingly, the Grand Mufti “stressed that Kuwait was a part of the Arabian Peninsula, and therefore it is necessary to destroy all churches in it.” Comment: thus we see how Islam reacts to other faiths within its own borders.

On correct Muslim behaviour.

Zakir Naik (In Pakistan): “If a Muslim becomes non-Muslim and propagates his/her new religion then there is a death penalty in Islam for such a person.” Comment: In this case, Naik is rationalising apostasy as “treason” to the Umma, but he still maintains it is right to murder people for leaving Islam. This from a “moderate” Muslim.

Shaykh Abu-Ishaq al-Huwayni: “ Whoever insults the Prophet (PBUH), if he later comes and apologizes, and kisses the shoes (of the ruler), and says, ‘I want all Muslims, every one, to return and strike me with the soles of their feet’—does the ruler have the right to accept this? I bring up this question, as it was asked of me. The answer is that it is not permissible for anyone to accept this. Then what do we do with him? We kill him ! But he told you that herepented. We still kill him, even if he repents !” Comment: The merciful attitude of Islam revealed again.

On Sex.

In response to a gang r.ape , the Chief Mufti of Australia said, “If she was in her room, in her home, inher Hijab, no problem would have occurred. The Korangives a similar justification for a head to toe covering for women, “O Prophet! Tell your wives and your daughters and the women of the believers to draw their cloaks (veils) all over their bodies that they may thus be distinguished and not molested.” (Koran 33:59) Comment: thus any woman who isn’t burkha’d is definitely asking, nay begging, to be gang-rapedd according to the ‘Imam’. You will note there is not the slightest condemnation of the rapistss here.

On anti-semitism.

Sheik Yusuf al-Qaradawi chief theologian of theMuslim Brotherhood: “Oh Allah, take this oppressive, Jewish, Zionist band of people. Oh Allah, do not spare a single one of them. Oh Allah, count their numbers, and kill them, down to the very last one.” He also declared: “Throughout history, Allah hasimposed upon the people [Jews] who would punish them for their corruption. The last punishment was carried out by [Adolf] Hitler.” Comment: Islamic jew-hatred alive and well in the 14 st Islamic century –just like every other Islamic century.

Abd Al-Rahman Al-Sudayyis (Imam at the Grand Mosque in Mecca): “The scum of the human race, the rats of the world, the violators of pacts and agreements, the murderers of the prophets, and the offspring of apes and pigs [ are the Jews].”
