Soldiers of an Islamist New World Order

“We Muslims do not recognize any law or system but the Islamic one. Any system other than Islam is null and void.” - Soldiers of Allah

Soldiers of Allah (SOA), a Los Angeles-based rap group that now goes under the name Muslim Studio, was the brainchild of Ali Ardekani. Ardekani got the idea about Muslim rap, when he was attending an Islamic camp and a “brother from [sic] east coast” showed him a song he had written. He liked it so much, he wrote and recorded his own. It became an instant hit, as, according to Ardekani, “over 100 copies were sold in the two days of its release at a local Islamic conference.”

The song was entitled, ‘Staring into the Enmies’s [sic] Eyes.’ They also use an alternative title for it: ‘Staring into Kafir’s Eyes.’

Kafir is a very important word in the Soldiers of Allah (or Muslim Studio) vernacular. It means infidel or denier of the truth. It separates the world into two groups, those who believe (Islam) and those who don’t. They fashion their songs and their various writings on the recreation of the Ummah (universal knowledge of Islam), which encompasses a Khilafah (unified Islamic nation) with its Khaleefah (single leader) ruling over all by Allah’s law.

SOA sites the year 1924 (which is the title of one of their albums and songs) as being the year when the Khilafah was abolished by the Turks and the one and only Ummah – “from the time of the Prophet (Mohammed)” – was destroyed. They sing:

“In 1924, our state was demolished. Hundred years of planning, and their plans were accomplished. Kafirs broke our bond, contaminated our knowledge. Better listen up, because you won’t learn this in college. Beginning of the end and the divisions began. Step by step, they divided our lands.”

"It’s year 2000, and nothing has changed. Past generation has aged, let us write the next page. It’s time for us to change. It’s up to you and me. Either we make history, or we become history…”

To get to this greater Muslim dominion, the masses must be joined under the banner of Allah and rise up in jihad against their “oppressors” and “occupiers,” eventually to celebrate a one world Islam.” It’s a grandiose dream that could only be trumped by that of Adolph Hitler.

“We fear Allah and only Allah. Let us be the generation who puts Islam back on the map. We will never compromise Islam. Islam will rule the world.”

“From Turkey to Afghanistan, from Palestine to Iran, implement Islamic laws. Take a stand!! It’s Allah’s demand. Implement global Jihad!! Take back our Muslim lands!!!

One web source has termed the SOA’s style “Islamofascist rap.” Where do they get all of this rage from?

If the above wasn’t hint enough, the entrance of the Soldiers of Allah website should tell the tale. There, you will be treated to a Flash presentation which centers around a man standing atop the Earth, waving a flag. The flag is black with white Arabic letters. It represents the Islamic flag of war or Ar-Raya. According to Muslim lore, a jihad is to be launched with it, and when the Ummah comes to fruition, it’s white counterpart or Al-Liwaa is to be hoisted.

The said ideologies are shared and disseminated by select groups. They include the radical fundamentalist Al-Muhajiroun and its affiliate, Hizb ut-Tahrir, an organization that Ariel Cohen from the Heritage Foundation states is establishing ties with neo-Nazis and “is an emerging threat to American interests in Central and South Asia and the Middle East.” You will notice that on the homepage of each of these groups’ websites they proudly display the same black flag.

In addition, the SOA have a kinship for another website which espouses the same beliefs, www.islamic-state.org. In fact, they share some of the exact same material, word for word, picture for picture. And the SOA even offer downloads of their songs on this site. Also on this site, you can see exclusive communiqués and press releases from Hizb ut-Tahrir.

The Soldiers of Allah website was created by Ardekani, who is, as it happens, a web developer by profession. You can check out much of his work – whilst staring into his empty, soulless eyes – on his personal website, www.flashimage.com.

From there, you’ll be able to see the site he developed for Manatt, Phelps & Philips, a law and consulting firm that has been described as a “political powerhouse.” Headed by former ambassador to the Dominican Republic and former Democratic National Committee chairman, Charles T. Manatt, in 1991, the firm found itself representing the number two man for the Bank of Credit and Commerce International (BCCI), Swaleh Naqvi. At the time, BCCI was “at the center of a worldwide scandal involving alleged drug money laundering, arms trafficking and support of terrorists.” “Internal BCCI documents are said to show that the bank used the Manatt firm to lobby the National Security Council in 1992 in an attempt to close down [District Attorney Robert] Morgenthau's Manhattan investigation.”

You’ll also be able to connect to the site Ardekani did for the Islamic Center of San Gabriel Valley, a venue that not too long ago featured a lecture by Maulana Tariq Jamil. Jamil is a senior leader in the Tablighi Jama’at, an organization of Muslim Missionaries that has been found to be a recruitment center for al Qaeda. One writer reported on another lecture Jamil once gave, where he allegedly appealed to then Prime Minister of Pakistan, Nawaz Sharif, “to enforce an Islamic system similar to that in neighboring Afghanistan under the Taliban.”

And of course, on Ardekani’s website, you’ll be able to link up to SOA’s latest incarnation, www.muslimstudio.com.

The website for Muslim Studio – as I stated, the new name of Ardekani’s rap group – has basically the same characteristics as the one for the SOA. One thing you’ll notice, when you go there, is that it contains a full blown message board… which is actually done through the same exact message board company as the one used by the Islamic-State website. Surprise, surprise!

In the message board, you’ll view some pretty outrageous material. A prime example of this was when one person posted an article entitled, ‘Three More American Troops Die in the Killing Fields of Iraq.’ The first reply it received was “DIE DOGS DIE.”

But that was only from a poster. Now, let’s see what one of the administrators of the site, Saeed, has to say [I did not want to fix any of the grammar]:

*On the question of whether suicide bombers are good (halal) or not (haram), he stated, “it all matters on what intention the individual has in mind. if it’s nationalism then it’s haram. but if it’s truly for islam then it is halal. There are many examples in the past of great warriors of islam doing likewise.”

*On the question of suicide bombing being against the Islamic religion, noticeably upset, he stated the following, “hmmm… that’s a very bold statement, this would imply that all those muslims are going to hell. are you sure?”

*He had a better term for suicide bombers. He said, “lets call it martyrdom operations.”

*On the question of civilians being murdered, he said the following, “from my understanding, the rules change when we are faced with an alien presence within our land. all occupiers are in fact combatants due to there mere presence there. so all of them effectively must be fought until they leave or die in the process.”

*Concerning the khilafah, he stated, “but yes, the boarders of the khilafah are not stagnated. but rather they will seek to expand, and in tern remove any obstacle in it's way, including the so called muslim rulers.

*About musical instruments, he had this to say, “ps it’s haram to play string instruments, and play in front of mixed gender audiences. they promote ideas alien to Islam. they should be banned.”

This is what Administrator Kareem has to say about the creation of a future unified Islamic nation:

*“Similarly, Israel and India have occupied Muslim lands and have had a history of oppressing Muslims; therefore, the Islamic State would (assuming things have not changed) be in a state of war with these two countries when it is established.”

*“Nor does it mean that the Islamic State will rampage through the world, killing everyone left and right. Anyone who has this mentality needs a reality check. The Islamic State is a tool that is designated to implement the Deen of Allah and carry the Message of Islam to the world. By killing everyone, who are you going to rule and who will you convey the Message of Islam to?”

*“The Islamic State must formally declare a war, and it must specify the time and place of the fighting. In this manner, the people will know beforehand where and when the fighting will take place.”

*And concerning his own views, “We should refrain from any history that is replete with gross exaggerations, fairy tales, and twisted facts that leave the reader disgusted with Islamic history and culture.”

And who could forget about our friend, Ali Ardekani? Administrator Ali had his own gory material:

*When Ali had in his possession a picture depicting President George W. Bush and Prime Minister Ariel Sharon as monkeys, he couldn’t help but post it to the World Wide Web. He stated, “I don’t usually post pictures, but this one is funny.”

*With respect to the Taliban, because they “enforce some Islamic rulings but they neglect other rulings,” he refers to them (the Taliban) as “the lesser of two evils.”

*About Americans and Christians, he stated, “Out of all the countries I have been able to travel, I am sorry to say that Americans (Northern) seem to be the less intelligent when it comes to politics or current events. Now don't get me wrong, I am not referring to ALL Americans but rather the majority of them. Of course, there are the few rare exceptions that understand what is really going on. But [as] for the rest of them, they are treated like cattle and they react like sheep… Could it be because of their Christian mindset (follow blindly) that they have been conditioned so easily?”

*And when a fellow poster said that Muslims should raise money like “the YAHOOD” (i.e. Jews), except not “be greedy like or act like them,” Ali had this to say, “JazakAllah kair. May Allah (swt) reward you for your intentions.”

The above was not the first time Ardekani responded positively to someone posting antisemitic material on the internet. On a website that states, “The Jews are killing our Muslim children.” And “The Jews are torturing our brothers,” Ali wrote to the web owner, “I like your site. It is vivid and real.” He goes on to say, “It’s sad to see the situation of the Muslims today. What we see are only symptoms of living without an amir. Without a state. Without a generation who loves death more than life.”

Ardekani loves death more than he does life. This jibes with the fact that, according to a poem he had written, he once contemplated suicide.

On the Muslim Studio message board, Ali gets asked, on numerous occasions, what the names of his band mates are. And every time, he refuses, saying he will not give out their identities. He says it’s better to listen to the message in the music than to know who’s playing it. But still, why is it such a big deal? What is he worried that people will find out?

The only other group member that can be found on the net [as far as I can tell] is Daniel Hashimi. Hashimi, aside from being affiliated with Soldiers of Allah, is the Vice President of the Muslim Student Association (MSA) of California State University Northridge (CSUN).

Just months prior to the attacks on September 11, 2001, the MSA of CSUN “participated in a fundraiser held by Islamic Relief to raise money and awareness for our brothers and sisters in Afghanistan…” Islamic Relief is reported to have raised millions of dollars for terrorists in Chechnya and is “a charity whose British office received $50,000 in 1999 from a Canadian group that the Treasury Department says is a Bin Laden front.” According to the MSA of CSUN website, at the fundraiser they brought in $53,000 for the cause.

On their website this bit of information was followed by a link to “Learn some background information on Afghanistan and the Taliban.”

Around the same time as the fundraiser was taking place, another MSA (at the University of Southern California) brought a Taliban Ambassador, who happens to have the same last name as Daniel Hashimi (Sayyid Rahmatullah Hashimi), to speak at the University. In a press release put out by the MSA concerning this event, it is stated, “Many people have questions about Afghanistan and the Taliban. Most of these questions stem from the portrayls [sic] in the media. The truth is that many of the stories in the media are inaccurate.” Again, this was just prior to 9/11.

Ali Ardekani also developed the website for Muslim Basketball, a series of organized basketball tournaments for Muslims. As a matter of fact, Ardekani is a “lead organizer.”

One of the tournaments was held at the Islamic Society of Orange County (ISOC). Muzammil Siddiqui, the Director of the ISOC, “has made statements supporting the violent ideology of radical Islam and shunning the West… glorifying the jihad in Afghanistan and its spread to other places in the world…” (Steven Emerson, American Jihad, 2002) Siddiqui was also the President of the Board of Directors of the Islamic Society of North America (ISNA), which “publishes a bi-monthly magazine, Islamic Horizons, which often champions militant Islamist doctrine, and it convenes annual conferences where Islamist militants have been given a platform to incite violence and promote hatred.” (ibid)

What is interesting about Muslim Basketball is that one of the graphic images for it contains a character playing basketball that looks identical to the person waving the flag in the Soldiers of Allah site. And what’s even more interesting is that, on another personal website of Ardekani’s, there is the same character… which, incidentally, looks exactly like Ardekani’s picture. So it seems the person waving the black Islamic flag of war is none other than Ardekani himself.

“Assalammu’ Aliakum, welcome to the new Soldiers of Allah website. Anything we say incorrect is from us. Anything we say correct is by the mercy of Allah (swt).”

When analyzing the above quote, one is posed with a dilemma: How does a novice reader of the site make sense of the “correct” from the “incorrect?” The passage is deceiving. But so is the cast for which the passage was written.

*On the question of civilians being murdered, he said the following, “from my understanding, the rules change when we are faced with an alien presence within our land. all occupiers are in fact combatants due to there mere presence there. so all of them effectively must be fought until they leave or die in the process.”

Hmmm... what if this logic was applied to him, an alien in America ?

Sometime in the future, the media will be judged for not telling the truth about these fiends.
