BBC MUSLIM SAYS ISIS ROOTED IN ISLAM
The Catholic League ^ | 3 June 2016 | Catholic League

Posted on 06/04/2016 5:39:21 AM PDT by AncientAirs

"Ahmed, who is a professor at Middlesex University, was asked about the phrase “so-called Islamic State.” His answer was enlightening: “I hear so many people say ISIS has nothing to do with Islam—of course it has. They are not preaching Judaism. It might be wrong but what they are saying is an ideology based on some form of Islamic doctrine.” He added that the Islamic nature of ISIS is “a fact and we have to get our head around some very uncomfortable things.”

Bill Donohue comments on remarks made this week by Aaqil Ahmed, the head of the BBC’s religious programming ....

President Obama bears much of the blame for closing down an honest discussion on the religious roots of ISIS; his constant denial of any relationship between the teachings of Muhammad and terrorist acts conducted in his name is absurd. We can’t make progress in any area without robust freedom of speech, untainted by political considerations.

Professor Ahmed has done us a service. It is up to others to grab this opportunity.

The head of ISIS is an actual Islamic Scholar, as opposed to our pedantic diatriber AA know-nothing puppet dicktator.

The mullah of 1600 Pennsylvania Ave needs to learn that fact...along with his America hating so-called wife.

He is very wrong.

Check with Obama for the correct take on ISIS.

Or ISIL—as Obama calls it.

The future must not belong to those who deny the true nature of Islam

John Qunicy Adams on Islam

In the seventh century of the Christian era, a wandering Arab of the lineage of Hagar, the Egyptian, combining the powers of transcendent genius, with the preternatural energy of a fanatic, and the fraudulent spirit of an impostor, proclaimed himself as a messenger from Heaven, and spread desolation and delusion over an extensive portion of the earth. Adopting from the sublime conception of the Mosaic law, the doctrine of one omnipotent God; he connected indissolubly with it, the audacious falsehood, that he was himself his prophet and apostle. Adopting from the new Revelation of Jesus, the faith and hope of immortal life, and of future retribution, he humbled it to the dust, by adapting all the rewards and sanctions of his religion to the gratification of the sexual passion. He poisoned the sources of human felicity at the fountain, by degrading the condition of the female sex, and the allowance of polygamy; and he declared undistinguishing and exterminating war, as a part of his religion, against all the rest of mankind. THE ESSENCE OF HIS DOCTRINE WAS VIOLENCE AND LUST: TO EXALT THE BRUTAL OVER THE SPIRITUAL PART OF HUMAN NATURE.

Between these two religions, thus contrasted in their characters, a war of twelve hundred years has already raged. That war is yet flagrant; nor can it cease but by the extinction of that imposture, which has been permitted by Providence to prolong the degeneracy of man. While the merciless and dissolute dogmas of the false prophet shall furnish motives to human action, there can never be peace upon earth, and good will towards men. The hand of Ishmael will be against every man, and every man’s hand against him. It is, indeed, amongst the mysterious dealings of God, that this delusion should have been suffered for so many ages, and during so many generations of human kind, to prevail over the doctrines of the meek and peaceful and benevolent Jesus (Blunt, 1830, 29:269, capitals in orig.).

Original article from Lapido Media, the group that put on the conference.
http://www.lapidomedia.com/islamic-state-muslims-bbc-head-religion

It’s interesting, for a group that has ‘media’ in their title, I couldn’t find any video of this conference, and they have a very tiny presence on youtube.

Aaquil Ahmed now had best walk around wearing a bicyclist’s head mounted rear view mirror.

Remember, professor that to Muslims, “slander” doesn’t mean lying about someone. It means telling the unwelcome truth about Islam and its profit.

Al Azhar University beat him to it many many months ago.
The scholars of Al Azhar declared ISIS is absolutely Islamic and follows Sharia law

“...even if it is not embraced by most Muslims.”

Nice lying suggestive comment - 80% embrace it.

*****

I think the Mullah knows full well that ISIS, excuse me, ISIL is rooted in Islam. His denial is just an innocent little technique called Taqiyya.
