BOSNIA'S CLERIC DECRIES "WAVE OF ISLAMOPHOBIA" IN EUROPE
Dnevni avaz, Sarajevo, BBC Monitoring ^ | August 22, 2006 | Dnevni avaz, Sarajevo, BBC Monitoring

Text of unattributed report entitled "Muslims dream of a world in which everyone will live together in peace" published by the Bosnian newspaper Dnevni avaz on 21 August:

The 19th international conference for Islamic Unity entitled "Muslims in Non-Islamic Countries - Their Rights, Duties, Problems, and Strategies" opened in Tehran yesterday.

At the first session, which was held immediately after the opening, Reis-ul-Ulema Mustafa effendi Ceric [head of the Islamic Community in Bosnia-Hercegovina] spoke about the position of Islam and Muslims in Europe and the contents of the Declaration of European Muslims, Mina news agency [News agency of the Bosnian Islamic community] reported.

In his address, Reis Ceric expressed gratitude to the Iranian people and Ayatollah Ali Khamene'i for the humanitarian aid they have been providing to this country, especially to refugees. He emphasized that the wave of Islamophobia that is sweeping across Europe could only be stopped through hard work and showing good examples.

"Europe is afraid of Islam, because some individuals and groups are using Islam for the wrong purposes. Muslims in Europe also feel fatigued and worried. Their emotions are a mixture of fear and rage.

"They are frightened of the tremendous media and military force that they have been threatened with in the wake of the 11 September attacks in New York, the events of 11 March in Madrid, and 7 July in London and are enraged over the injustice done to them - 70 per cent of all refugees and displaced people in the world are Muslims. If one looks at the wars that are currently being waged on the planet, almost all are being fought in Islamic countries and the victims are mostly Muslims.

"Bearing all this in mind, the Tehran conference does make a difference. This is because, as far as global issues are concerned, Muslims throughout the world expect to be represented by those who have knowledge, ability, and willingness to ensure that they enjoy the right to life, faith, freedom, property, and honour. Muslims expect the ulema [religious scholars] to show wisdom and politicians to show courage in the fight for a better world in which all peoples and nations will live together in peace and security," Reis-ul-Ulema Ceric concluded.

Both the attacks on 9/11 and the cartoons incident have both shown the real, ugly face of Islam.

in order to be accepted, Muslims will have to disavow jihad and actively work against it: failing to do so means they have joined its ranks and have chosen a fight to the death...

I call the Pulitzer Prize the Putzpuller Prize, because it is an award by and for yerkoffs.

No, all most all the wars currently being waged are NOT "in Islamic countries" -- They are in countries that you want to convert to Islam -- and you are losing!

Actually he is correct, every single border between any Muslim countries are automatically a war zone. Iraq is a perfect example, given freedom, the people do not build a Nation, they slaughter each other. They are even more interested in killing other Muslims than Americans. No wore infidel to them than another Muslim.

Mohammad's fruit is ripening.

Every time a so-called Muslim moderate opens his mouth about how Muslims are victimized, someone needs to challenge him about his support or lack of criticism of Sharia Law as applied in Islamic countries, a law that victimizes non-Muslims and enshrines their inequality and discrimination in the legal framework of those countries. If they're not willing to stand up for those non-Muslim minorities, then they have no standing for criticizing western governments who provide Muslims with equal protection and standing before their laws.

>I don't quite understand the biological connection...

What I mean is, that most people are biologically capable of sympathy for others; lacking that is called being a psychopath. It's mainly the psychos and others on the edge of society who are involved in pathological slammism, but the hell of it is that even one percent of a billion people is too many to have doing that sort of crap. That's the problem.

Yes, and plus the entire sovereign territory of any non-Islamic country is also considered a fair target.

Israel, the US, England, Spain, India, Russia, Serbia, Bali, the Phillipines are not "in Islamic countries" and yet we are all at war with Islamic radicals.

"What I mean is, that most people are biologically capable of sympathy for others..."

Got it.

The biggest problem that I think that we have and will continue to have is that Osama and his ilk are willing to sacrifice an enormous number of Muslims in order to win -- perhaps as many as 100 million Muslims dead out of a billion. And are we willing to stomach that kind of carnage, even if it is their dead and not ours, without crying uncle? Muslims would certainly try and dump the guilt for it on the US and you know that many Libs will willingly accept that guilt on our behalf. And then what? Do we force the remaining Muslims alive to convert to Christianity? Do we commit genocide?

I think that many of us know what needs to be done, but how to do that in a legal way that makes sense without destroying our own culture in the process is the challenge -- and it isn't an easy one.

What an American president COULD do, at least in theory, and I'm afraid we'd need at least one more 9-11 type thing before there'd be any chance of it ever happening, would be to absolutely flatten both Mecca and Medina either with nukes or with something else sufficiently big, and then go out on worldwide television the next morning and say something like:

"Hey, you know, for the benefit of all the former muslims out there in the world, I thought I'd take this opportunity to announce that you no longer need to fear that phony god allah or that a$$hole psychopath phony prophet momahhed you used to worry about, I just took care of both of them yesterday and they won't bother anybody any more.

At the same time, I am announcing a worldwide ban on the form of devil worship formerly called Islam, and I am announcing that anybody caught practicing that form of devil worship henceforth will be put to death and buried according to the tradition established by General Jack Pershing of the US army, i.e. in a box with the remains of a pig, and that all former slammite mosques will be required to have a Christian cross or a star of David over them beginning two hours from now, or they will become bombing targets.

Former slammites will be pleased to know that there will be no program of rounding them up and deporting them since the ban is worldwide and not just within the United States, and anybody wishing to get hanged for devil worship can do it here or there just as easily."

And the best places for Muslims to live in peace are the US and Israel. Go figure.

Really good one, potlach!

What would be funny if it weren't so sad, is that while this Bosnian cleric is wondering "why there is Islamophobia in Europe", they are currently searching for Al Qaida operatives not far from him in Kosovo!:

The village of Talinovac is only several kilometers away from the largest military base in Kosovo 'Bondsteel' in which about 1,500 USA soldiers are stationed'.

Amazing. Maybe they called it a "paintball training camp" like in Australia!! Thanks for the link Bokababe!
