Everything is relative. Sixteen million out of over a billion muslims is a ver small group (less than 1%).
I would also be interested to see if this so called "moderate" group adhere's to Sariah Law.
Considering this group does not veil their women, encourages education of women, etc, I doubt they subscribe to a strict interpretation of sharia law.
Well, do you suppose they could have Jamatkhana mosques in Pakistan and Afghanistan if they DIDN’T? Surely, you are not that naive. And surely you have by now heard the word taqiyya.
The rate at which they are building mosques in Texas is astounding, not to mention each one’s size and scope. And to ease the misgivings of us infidels, they even disguise their mosques and build them using modern architecture without the minarets. They don’t CALL them mosques either. They call them Jamatkhanas and learning centers. They are MOSQUES.
“Ismailis belong to the Shia tradition of Islam, which is a sect of the Shiite group. As such, they believe in one God and consider the Quran the holy text through which God’s words were revealed to the prophet Muhammad. They believe that Muhammad was the last of God’s messengers to mankind.”
Furthermore, islam is being taught in the public schools and colleges in Texas as per an agreement with these people. Try teaching Christianity there, why don’t ya.
You can tout Perry all you please. You can explain away and wash away all his sins until he glows in the dark, but you cannot refute that the man promotes shia islam in Texas, and just like Bush, he will do the same thing nationally. Bank on it.
Some information about Perry’s Muslim Friends Foundation though I am certain you will find some defense of this as well....I will continue to oppose Perry for his affiliation and promotion of Islam in our country. You paint a clean picture of this Imans’ faith...it is hardly that....as follows.
While the Aga Khan Foundation looks good on the surface, they also have formed associations with mobsters and serious Islamists, including al Qaida and one of the suspected perpetrators of Daniel Pearl’s murder.......
Scroll down to see the paragraphs about them. Emphasis added. Clean they are not. http://www.deepcapture.com/the...
The Aga Khan Foundation, it is not just a charity – it is also a massive business enterprise that owns, among other things,........................Tthe Cala Di Volpe hotel, and the Pakistan-based Habib Bank.
‘Habib Bank’ has been ....................accused of laundering money for Al Qaeda and for Omar Sayed Sheikh, the Jaish-e-Mohammed operative and suspected agent of the Pakistani spy services who handed Wall Street Journal reporter Daniel Pearl to 9-11 mastermind Khalid Sheikh Mohammed, who then (according to Khalid Shiekh Mohammed) sliced off Pearl’s head with a Yemeni knife.
In addition to the interesting business partners of its market manipulating CEO, Ali Nazerali, the Aga Khan Foundation....’ maintains close associations with agents of Iran’s Revolutionary Guard’...., which is tasked with “exporting” Iran’s Islamic revolution by directing the operations of Hezbollah and other jihadi concerns.
The Aga Khan Foundation’s membership and supporters ...’also include top military officers in Syria......, such as General Moustapha Sharba, who had a hand in the early stages of the covert nuclear weapons program that Syria was developing with help from North Korea (and probably Iran).
Another Aga Khan Foundation member is Aziz Mohammed Bhai, a Bangladeshi Mafia kingpin who became a billionaire smuggling high-powered weaponry and narcotics into Myanmar and India. Aziz Mohammed Bhai is one of the Aga Khan Foundation’s more prominent members. He is also alleged by Bangledeshi authorities to have conspired with an Al Qaeda tied terrorist named Sanjidul Islam Imon to assassinate a number of people considered to be enemies of the jihad. In 2009, Bhai was arrested and charged with the murder of Sohel Chowdhury, who was, according to Bhai, an apostate. Until her untimely death, Ms. Chowdhury had been Bangladesh’s most famous film star.
