Thousands gather at Navy Pier Eid Expo to promote Islam, peace
Chicago Tribune ^ | Grace Wong

Bright colors and breezy fabrics of traditional tunics and trousers floated across the sidewalks of Navy Pier, which housed the first Eid Expo, bringing together diverse denominations and ethnicities Wednesday.

The two-day event celebrated Eid al-Fitr, a holiday that concludes Ramadan, the Islamic month of fasting. Thousands of Muslims from the Midwest attended the event to pray, mingle and eat halal food. Imam Zaid Shakir, who led Muhammad Ali's funeral prayers, led the Eid prayers.

Asma Ahad, director of market development for the Islamic Food and Nutrition Council of America, one of the co-sponsors along with the Council of Islamic Organizations of Greater Chicago, said 20 years ago, a community Eid was held at McCormick Place, but since then, people moved to the suburbs and attended Eid celebrations at their local mosques.

Can we stop importing these people? The hijab is un-American. Hijab is short of head-garbage-bag. Of course tho, these are the Democrat Party's new voters, given how Obama Hussein alienating white voters.

This is what is at stake this November.

Wouldn’t it be a hell of a lot smarter for these dumb bastards to go home and tell this to ISIS, the Taliban, Al Qaeda and the Muslim Brotherhood?

Eid al-Fitr, which sounds a little like Adolph Hitler.

Hijab is about monstrously oversexed males who have to make their problem everybody’s problem.

Islam means peace only in the sense that once you submit—as a jizya paying subservient dhimmi or muslim convert—they will stop trying to kill you.

How nice, and did they explain what Eid celebrates, the death of all infidels?

What did they say about their culture of throwing gays off of buildings? Of stoning women? Of beating women? Of having sex with boys? Any comments about that?

Peace will prevail when there is only Islam.

If the Muslims are unable to convince their people (e.g. through peaceful da’wah) to embrace Islam and implement the Sharee’ah, it then becomes an obligation upon them to make hijrah and unite (build their own community and execute the Sharee’ah over themselves) and then rise against the government by force at a later date, regardless of whether they are the majority or the minority.

So how will Islam dominate the world? Most likely by force! If the people do not embrace Islam and implement the Sharee’ah on their own accord, it becomes an obligation upon the Muslims to fight and implement Islam. In countries such as Britain and America, their people have clearly rejected to embrace Islam and will never choose to live by the Sharee’ah. Therefore, the only two ways in which these countries can become under the domain of Islam is by the last two options, a group of Muslims rise and overthrow the government, or an Islamic state is established elsewhere and comes to conquer these nations.

“This matter (Islam) will keep spreading as far as the night and day reach, until Allah will not leave a house made of mud or hair, but will make this religion enter it, while bringing might to a mighty person (a Muslim) and humiliation to a disgraced person (who rejects Islam); might with which Allah elevates Islam (and its people), and disgrace with which Allah humiliates disbelief (and its people).” (Musnad al-Imaam Ahmad)

“A small portion of Muslims will rise and conquer the White House.” (Musnad al-Imaam Ahmad)

Any person who mocks this concept of Islam dominating the world has one of the attributes of the Munaafiqeen and could have committed one of the negations of Islam – disbelieving in the sayings of Allah and his Messenger (saw).

duaat.wordpress.com has been set up by Muslim individuals in the UK. As Muslims we believe we have been created for one purpose only, which is to obey, follow and worship none but Allah swt exclusively. As Allah swt says: “I have not created the Jinn and man except that they should worship Me” [dhaariyat, 51:56] Our aim is to awaken the masses within the Muslim Ummah who have taken the sleeping pill of democracy. Our call of awakening is Al-Islaam. By the will of Allah we will carry his word to those around us, collectively as duaat (callers to Islam).

Ahhh the end of Ramadan, so does this mean we can expect Muslims slaughtering infidels to increase, stay the same, or decrease in the near future? ANy way you look at it, there will be plenty of innocent blood spilled in the name of Allah, curses be upon him.
