Islamic school set ablaze in Netherlands

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

THE HAGUE, Netherlands -- Suspected arsonists set an Islamic elementary school on fire Tuesday amid a string of attacks following the killing of a Dutch filmmaker by an alleged Islamic extremist.

Firefighters struggled to extinguish the flames at the burning Bedir school in the southern town of Uden, where someone had scrawled "Theo Rest in Peace" in the building in homage to slain filmmaker Theo van Gogh, but the building was destroyed in the blaze.

Uden Mayor Joke Kersten told Dutch television she didn't know the exact cause of the fire but suspected arson. She said the school had not been the target of prior attacks.

Arsonists attempted to burn down Protestant churches in Rotterdam, Utrecht and Amersfoort in apparent retaliation for the bombing of a Muslim elementary school in Eindhoven on Monday, police said.

Muslim sites have been the target of a half-dozen attacks in the past week. No injuries have been reported and no arrests have been made.

Tensions have been high in the Netherlands in the week since the murder of Van Gogh, who was shot and stabbed in Amsterdam by an alleged Islamic radical after making a movie critical of Islam. A funeral was held for Van Gogh on Tuesday.

In Utrecht, police arrived Tuesday to find that a church window had been smashed and a container of flammable liquid thrown inside. In Amersfoort, several Molotov cocktails were thrown at the outside wall of a church.

I live and work a bike ride from the Pentagon. I heard the plane that his the Pentagon fly past my window.

I am not saying these fanatics don't exist. I am saying that not everyone is like them.

People here talk like "the only good Indian is a dead Indian."

They might as well be working for OBL with that attitude.
He wants us to drive the moderates into his flock for him.

I guess the number of Koranimals in Holland has now reached critical mass...

Will the Dutch free Milosevic from the pro-Muslim Bastille in Hague?

K, let's differentiate ....

Muslims: Not all bad. See several of my past posts on this thread, and praise for Muslims like Ibn Warraq and the folks on FaithFreedom.Org. I'm tired of repeating.

ISLAM: By Islam, I mean true Islam in the salafi sense. Pure unadulterated intolerant hatred - a vile ideology that believes in gender and religious apartheid, terrirotial conquest, genocide and global conquest as written in the suras of the Koran and sunna/hadiths. Evil ideology akin to fascism that the world will be better off without.

We should not confuse ISLAM with MUSLIM. (See my earlier reference on this thread to Ibn Warraqs book "Leaving Islam.") Happy?

I think Islam is modernizing and that is what the Wahabbis can't stomach.

That young Muslim convert from California that the Americans are so concerned about. He was turned in because the Imam of a mosque called the FBI.

It is the Muslims who have a lot to offer in the War on Terrorism. Provided we don't act like bigots and play into Osama's hands.

Personally, I think that Imams that call for Jihad in the pulpit should be arrested for solicitation of murder.

Sure, I agree.... but back to what you said earlier:

They might as well be working for OBL with that attitude. He wants us to drive the moderates into his flock for him.

What folks like me say here on Freep, and what I would say on the Islamic forums I frequented, is totally different. I think most people here are aware that were currently dealing with the global jihad and Islam by attempting to dilute it, modernize it, lead it towards a 'reformation" in the Christian sense of the word. This is the Bush way. A Machiavellian approach, know they enemy, exploit their weaknesses, and divisions, shites against wahabbi, seculars against traditionalists, Pan Arab Bathists against salafis, play so-called "moderates" (oxymoron, by the way) as allies against the "true believers." Go into the terrorist harboring and sponsoring nations, turn on the lights, watch the insects run, and splat 'em. Wash, rinse, repeat.

I and others know that IF Islam can impose reform on itself ("Biddah" and punishable by death as I wrote earlier, and I have serious doubts it can/will), it will have to be pressured from within as well as from the outside and undergo a bloody struggle... a civil war. I'm fine with that. Nobody kills Muslims better than a militant Muslim. It keeps our losses to a minimum, and theirs too.

But being on Freep is like sitting on the porch drinking beer with friends. We're all yapping knowing that we're mostly among friends... IMHO, if we were the President or high ranking public officials that would be quotes and taken seriously in the Islamic press, we would zip it and half of us (myself included) would visiting Mosques, and trying to rally as many of them as we could, because we know how that serves our purpose.

But we're not. And simply venting a little of what's on our minds...

And I'm tired and need to log off before I start typing about stuned beebers...

I don't see any Muslim outrage over the Muslim atrocities being committed in the Sudan --- over 2 million Christians and animists slaughtered in the Sudan, the Arabs killing people so they can take their land. If there was any goodness in the Muslims there should be outrage for the acts their kind are committing over there.

Where is your soapbox over what is being done in Sudan by the Muslims?

Whenever Muslims "condemn" atrocities committed by other Muslims it's because "it makes Islam look bad" and "we are so afraid of backlash"

I mean, the brutal murders of the little Russian children, is just bad PR for Muzzies.

Yes --- I think it's the backlash they're reacting to --- you don't see alot of Muslims speaking out for the atrocities committed on innocent Israelis. And if it's just something about Jews --- that doesn't explain the horror that has been taking place in the Sudan. There is no Muslim speaking out against that either.

Re: #35
Howdy Teezle,
Welcome, and I have a few comments regarding your post:

About hatred and Koran. The Bible does not say nice things about Jews but Jews and Christians are living and working together all over the world. As will be the Muslims sooner or later.

Do you care to elaborate? All the Disciples were Jews. The Lord Jesus Christ wept over Jerusalem. Paul, in Romans (Chapter 11, I believe), expresses his desire that the people of his birth (the Jews) would be stirred to jealousy and eventually saved... What passages are you making reference to in the Bible that preaches anything remotely similar to the hatred that is spewed out in the Koran? Hatred for sin? - yes. Remorsefulness, over our inability to not sin ('There is none righteous, no not one') - certainly. And certainly our desperate need for a Saviour. But hatred of others? No. You've confused it with another book (that you probably also haven't read) and are parroting the lines of those who wouldn't know the Bible if they tripped over it.
I encourage you to read the Good Book, Teezle. It IS God's Word - and it contains the Truth, and the path to eternal life.

The terrorist that killed Dutch filmmaker Theo Van Gogh, left a five page letter pinned to his chest with a knife.

The letter was revealed by the Dutch authorities, and Dan Cannon, a member of FFI translated it into English:

Open Letter to Hirshi Ali
In the name of Allah the kind, the merciful.

Peace and blessings upon the Emir of the Mujahideen, the laughing killer Mohammed Rasoulou Allah (Sala Allaho alaihie wa Sallam), his family and companions and those who follow him truthfully till the day of judgment.

There is no aggression except against the aggressors.

The following:

Peace and blessings upon any who follows the guidance.

This is an open letter to an infidel fundamentalist, Ayaan Hirshi Ali, of the Thaghoet party VVD.

Dear miss Hirshi Ali,

Since your entrance into the political arena of Holland you have been constantly terrorizing Muslims and Islam with your words. You are not the first and you won't be the last to join the crusade against Islam.

With your apostasy, you have not only turned your back on the truth, but you also march along the ranks of the soldiers of evil. You mince no words about your hostility against Islam, and for this your masters have rewarded you with a seat in parliament. They have found in you a companion in their crusade against Islam and Muslims. A companion who gives them the "gunpowder" so they don't have to do the dirty work. Seeing as that you're blind by the burning infidelity which rages inside you, you are incapable of seeing that you are just an instrument of the true enemies of Islam.

You are being used to spew various hostilities about Islam and the most noble, Mohammed Rasoul Allah (Salla Allaho aleihie wa Sallam).

I don't blame you for all of this Miss Hirshi Ali. As a soldier of evil you are merely doing your job.

The fact that you can openly spew your hatred is not to blame on you, but on the Islamic ummah. They have ceased their task of resistance against injustice and are sleeping it off.
All your hostilities can thus only be blamed on the Islamic ummah.

This letter is Insha Allah an attempt at silencing your evil once and for all. These written words will Insha Allah make you drop your mask

I would like to start with your recent proposal to 'screen' (profile) on their ideology at job interviews.

Your proposal is very interesting, more so because the application of it unveils the rotten faces of your political masters (when they would of course be tested honestly and they would openly reveal their ideology

It is a fact that Dutch politics is dominated by many Jews who are a product of the Talmud schools; that includes your political party-members.

Seeing as you always propagate "self-criticism", we shall test your proposal in your own political surroundings. The same politicians that with their policies have launched terrorism against Islam and Muslims.

I would like to ask you the following questions:

How do you feel about the fact that Van Aartsen (leader of the VVD) subscribes to an ideology where non-Jews are considered as non-humans?

Baba Mezie 114a-114b: Only Jews are people ("Only you are called people"). Also see Kerlthoth 6b under subtitle ("Oil of anointing") and Barakath 56a, where gentile (non-Jews) females are called animals ("female-donkeys")

Yebamoth 92a: All Gentile children are animals.

How do you feel about the fact that a mayor is leading Amsterdam , whom subscribes to an ideology where Jews can lie to non-Jews?

Baba Kamma 113a: Jews may lie ("listen") to mislead a Gentile.

How do you feel about the fact that you are part of a government that supports the state with an ideology that proposes genocide?

Sofarim 15, line 10 (Minor Tarcctates): These are the words by rabbi Simom ben Yohai: Tod shebe goyyim herog ("Even the best of the Gentiles should be killed").

Since you are a fighter for equal rights, you will probably (after learning this knowledge) ask with your Jewish masters in chambers to reject the teachings of the Talmud. You will also probably make work of asking the Jewish community in Holland to reject it.

Our actions now and then are in response to your coward temerity with which you seek attention for your cause. Like how you had the temerity to ask Muslim school children to chose between their creator and the constitution.

Then you used the answer from these young, pure souls to justify your crusade. With these hostilities you have released a boomerang and you know it’s only a matter of time before this boomerang will seal your fate.

However, you will get the opportunity, Miss Hirshi Ali, to prove you're right and crave it forever in the pages:

There is one certainty in the whole of existence; and that is that everything comes to an end.

A child, who is born into this world and fills this universe with his life cries, will ultimately leave this world with his death cry.

A blade of grass sticking up its head from the dark earth and being caressed by the sunlight and fed by the descending rain, shall ultimately whither and turn to dust.

Death, Miss Hirshi Ali, is the common theme of all that exists. You, I and the rest of creation can not disconnect from this truth.

There shall be a Day where one soul can not help another soul, a Day with terrible tortures and torments, a Day where the unjust shall emit from their lounges horrible screams. Screams, Miss Hirshi Ali, which will cause shivers to roll down one's spine; that will make hairs stand up. People will be seen drunk with fear while they are not drunk. FEAR shall fill the atmosphere on that Great Day:

When the sun (with its spacious light) is folded up;
When the stars fall, losing their lustre;
When the mountains vanish (like a mirage);
When the she-camels, ten months with young, are left untended;
When the wild beasts are herded together (in the human habitations);
When the oceans boil over with a swell;
When the souls are sorted out, (being joined, like with like);
When the female (infant), buried alive, is questioned -
For what crime she was killed;
When the scrolls are laid open;
When the world on High is unveiled;
When the Blazing Fire is kindled to fierce heat;

And when the Garden is brought near;-
(Then) shall each soul know what it has put forward. (81:1-14)

That Day shall a man flee from his own brother,
And from his mother and his father,
And from his wife and his children.
Each one of them, that Day, will have enough concern (of his own) to make him indifferent to the others.
Some faces that Day will be beaming,
Blackness will cover them:
Such will be the Rejecters of Allah, the doers of iniquity. (80:34-42)


You, as unbelieving extremist of course won't believe in the above described scene. For you the above is merely a made-up drama piece from a Book like many. And yet, Miss Hirshi Ali, I bet my life that you are sweating with FEAR when you read this.

You, as unbelieving fundamentalist, of course do not believe that a Supreme Being controls the entire universe.

You do not believe that your heart, with which you cast away the truth, has to ask permission from the Supreme Being for every beat.

You do not believe that your tongue with which you deny the Guidance from the Supreme Being is subject to his Laws.

You do not believe that life and death has been given to you by this Supreme Being.

If you really believe this, then the following challenge should be no problem for you.

I challenge you with this letter to prove you are right.
You don't have to do much:

Miss Hirshi Ali: WISH for DEATH if you are really convinced you are right.

If you will not accept this challenge; know then that my master, the Most High, has unmasked you as an unjust one.

”…seek ye for death, if ye are sincere."
But they will never seek for death, on account of the (sins) which their hands have sent on before them. And Allah is well-acquainted with the wrong-doers.” (2:94-95)

Lest I be accused of the same, I shall make this wish FOR you:

My Rabb (God), give us death and make us rejoice with martyrdom.

Allahoemma Amien.

Miss Hirshi Ali and the rest of the extremist infidels: Islam has resisted many hostilities and oppressions throughout the history. Every time the pressure on Islam was added, the fire of Faith was merely alighted.

Islam is like a withered plant, which has been rendered by the years-long pressure and extreme high temperatures, a diamond, a withered plant which is formed by the fancies of time into the strongest jewel on this Earth, a jewel on which the hardest hammer is broken.

AYAAN HIRSHI ALI YOU SHALL BREAK YOURSELF ON ISLAM!

You and your companions know very well that the current Islamic youth is a rough diamond that only needs smoothing, so that it may spread her all-invading light of Truth. Your intellectual terrorism will not stop this; on the contrary you will only hasten it.

Islam will conquer by the blood of the martyrs. It will spread its light to every corner of this Earth and it will, if necessary, drive evil to its dark hole by the sword.

This unleashed battle is different from previous battles. The unbelieving fundamentalists have started it and Insha Allah the true believers will end it.

There shall be no mercy for the unjust, only the sword that is raised at them. No discussion, no demonstrations, no parades, no petitions; merely DEATH shall separate the Truth from the LIE.

Say: Lo! The death from which ye shrink will surely meet you, and afterward ye will be returned unto the Knower of the Invisible and the Visible, and He will tell you what ye used to do. (62:

And like a great prophet once said:

"I deem thee lost, O Pharaoh. " (17:102)

And so we want to use similar words and send these before us, so that the heavens and the stars will gather this news and spread it over the corners of the universe like a tidal wave.


I deem thee lost, O America.

I deem thee lost, O Europe.

I deem thee lost, O Holland .

I deem thee lost, O Hirshi Ali

I deem thee lost, O unbelieving fundamentalist.

Hasboena Allah wa ni3ma alwakeel

Ni3ma alMawla wa Ni3ma anNasseer


Saifu Deen al Muwahhied

America will never become Muslim. I believe Americans would rather see our country destroyed than transformed into an Islamic country.

I know I would.

125 - "I was sarcastic (is this a word), cause somebody was sarcastically speaking to me that I would want to free MB."

While your English is good, much better than my Dutch/German, and Arabic, Sarcasm is very tough, and should best be left to native language speakers. If you follow FR more, it is hard enough for Native Americans to be sucessfully sarcastic, and many will label their sarcasm as such.
