ISCC affiliated Imams Issue Important Fatwa
Attack on Canada and the United States is Attack on Muslims Over 10 million Muslims Live in North America
Calgary) Twenty Imams affiliated with the Islamic Supreme Council of Canada have issued a Fatwa today declaring the attacks on Canada and the United States by any extremist will be the attack on 10 million Muslims living in North America. This is the first Fatwa by the Muslim clergy declaring attacks on Canada and the United States as attack on Muslims. Following is the text of the Fatwa.
FATWA (religious edict)
In the Name of Allah, the Most Beneficent, the Most Merciful
We, the undersigned Imams, are issuing the following Fatwa in order to guide the Muslims of North America regarding the attacks on Canada and the United States by the terrorists and the extremists. In our view, these attacks are evil and Islam requires from Muslims to stand up against this evil. In the holy Qur’an Almighty Allah orders Muslims,
"Let there among you be a group that summon to all that is beneficial commands what is proper and forbids what is improper; they are the ones who will prosper." (3:104)
"Believing men and believing women are protecting friends of one another; they enjoin what is right and forbid what is wrong; they perform salat and give zakat..." (9:71)
"Those who, if We establish them in the land (with authority), establish regular prayers and practice regular charity and enjoin the right and forbid the wrong..." (22:41)
Our beloved Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) said in a Hadith;
"When people see a wrong-doer and do nothing to stop him, they may well be visited by God with a punishment."
Therefore, it is an obligation upon us (Imams) to inform all Muslims around the world that Muslims in Canada and the United States have complete freedom to practice Islam. There is no single city in Canada and the United States where MASAJIDS (Mosques) are not built. In all major cities Islamic schools provide education to Muslim children about Qur’an and the Islamic traditions. Thousands of Muslims perform Hajj every year and travel to Saudi Arabia with complete freedom and respect. In the month of Ramadan, both Canadian and the United States governments recognize the occasion and greet all Muslim citizens. Muslims pray five daily prayers in mosques without any fear or restrictions. Muslims have complete freedom to pay Zakat (poor due) to the charity or a person of their choice. Muslims have complete freedom to celebrate their festivals openly, publicly and Islamically. Muslims enjoy freedom of religion just like Christians, Jews and others. No one stops us from obeying Allah and His Messenger (Peace be upon him). No one stops us from preaching Islam and practicing Islam. In many cases, Muslims have more freedom to practice Islam here in Canada and the United States than many Muslim countries.
In fact, the constitutions of the United States and Canada are very close to the Islamic guiding principles of human rights and freedom. There is no conflict between the Islamic values of freedom and justice and the Canadian /US values of freedom and justice.
Therefore, any attack on Canada and the United States is an attack on the freedom of Canadian and American Muslims. Any attack on Canada and the United States is an attack on thousands of mosques across North America. It is a duty of every Canadian and American Muslim to safeguard Canada and the USA. They must expose any person, Muslim OR non-Muslim, who would cause harm to fellow Canadians OR Americans. We, Canadian and American Muslims, must condemn and stand up against these attacks on Canada and the United States.
May Allah save Canada, the United States and the entire world from the evil of wrong doers. Ameen.

In Middle East cultures lying is quite acceptable.
Taqiya.
it’s another lie by muslims to fool folks and sadly many folks will still fall for it.
They are told that they have to fool and pretend t spread their word of allah .
exactly and some on here are falling for it
AARRGGHHH
First of all, I doubt if there are more than three million Muslims in North America, and second the Muslims are commanded by the KORAN to lie to Infidels, and third, while they are against terrorism, they are for JIHAD against Infidels.
What the difference between JIHAD and terrorism?
None.
Yet another diversion and dishonest representation. Didn’t you read the “lost” addendum. It most likely said “we are mooslim. we want to kill you and your children. we want to blow you to bits, hack off your heads or poison you, you non-believers. we will do this as we get you to trust us. we hate you and your decadent western culture. death to the infidel.” moist likely, that was all left off the announcement by this purported “imam”.
Superbowl 2/7
I'm willing to bet there are numerous smaller arrests NOT made in America and Canada that don't get the high profile stuff the ones above listed are given but these high profile failures by Islam to kill innocent Americans once again are making "WE THE PEOPLE" so furious we're slamming Islam ( even after the 7 CIA operators MURDERED in Afghanistan) with attempting to really PROFILE these SOB's the way Israel does this or maybe even stronger. This tie with Israel or even considering this way of "profiling" El Al does is in direct conflict with any Imam's beliefs and shatters the attempts to further ATTACK America because they've again found loopholes in our free system.
Therefore, IF we do go for the profiling Israel does, which would probably be against what even Obama the "present" voter, the psuedo-(alleged)-Christian backslider-pro-muslim-apologizer would never do but if he does this fatwa issued by the Imam would show complete "loss of face( more an asian term but works here) and he can declare all mosques and muslims in America and Canada under attack and foreces muslims here and in Canada to be "forced" to choose all out war.
This is just a perception and I may be wrong but this fatwa was not as much a CYA as it was a carefully planned 'line in the sand" and warning not to step over the boundaries and freedoms the US and Canada has already given muslims. I believe there ARE peaceful muslims but their doctrines if followed through are directly anti- Christian/Jewish atheist, Hindu, Buddhist(ad nauseam) and all other beliefs. Therefore again, this fatwa is not as peaceful as it sounds especially when right in the Qur'an it states one can lie to their enemy( how the CIA operatives were MURDERED) and we are ALL infidels and just dhimmi( if we comply and then taxed or forced into slums NO MATTER we "convert") in their eyes according to their hadith and their Qur'an. The Imam is a sly demon. He's also in a sense issuing a further statement of war which "sounds" so peaceful.
This fatwa to America and Canada is just another move forward to all out antagonism between muslims that want NO part of radical viewpoints to take action IF America and Canada attempt to treat muslims IN ANY WAY as enemy, as second class citizens or whatever CAIR draws up
I call BS on this fatwa. It's the sly setting up of landmines while people actually THINK this is in any way, shape or, form a fatwa of peace toward the very people who the Imam and his followers consider and will always consider INFIDELS. BS! BS! BS! and camel poopie.
It’s war!
In Memory Of The 50 Million Victims Of The Orthodox Christian Holocaust

hhhmmmmmmmmmmmm . . . we’ll see . . . . . words are easy, actions are hard.
I don’t know that they have some inside information on something pending.
They may. They may not.”
Yeah, time will tell.
So what are they going to do about it?
They need to instruct all 10 Million muzzies to start giving it up right here on FreeRepublic...fully detailed information on terrorist chatter.
Never mind telling the US government...right now they are worthless.
You could say the same thing about many other religions.
Scroll down to the “history” section. No one is perfect.

Sure. And plenty of people here in this culture lie regularly as well.
But in this instance, since so many individuals are involved, it may be a harbinger of things to come. Muslims coming together, united, to make a cultural/political stance in public. Islam has no central authority like the Roman Catholic Pope in Rome.
Now in the U.S.A., we may have the germ of something unique in all of Islam.
Pleas note I said ‘we may’. I am not going to scoff at these concerted actions on the part of American Muslims, but live the words of Reagan: trust but verify.
Most of my family is on the east coast. My kid walks to High School through my lovely part of town/sarc and I always tell him - Be Vigilant. 80% of communication is non-verbal.

Interesting read.....
The doctrine of taqiyya
Much of this revolves around the pivotal doctrine of taqiyya, which is often euphemized as “religious dissembling,” though in reality simply connotes “Muslim deception vis-à-vis infidels.” According to the authoritative Arabic text Al-Taqiyya fi Al-Islam, “Taqiyya [deception] is of fundamental importance in Islam. Practically every Islamic sect agrees to it and practices it. We can go so far as to say that the practice of taqiyya is mainstream in Islam, and that those few sects not practicing it diverge from the mainstream. … Taqiyya is very prevalent in Islamic politics, especially in the modern era [p. 7; my own translation].”
Some erroneously believe that taqiyya is an exclusively Shia doctrine: as a minority group interspersed among their traditional enemies, the much more numerous Sunnis, Shias have historically had more “reason” to dissemble. Ironically, however, Sunnis living in the West today find themselves in a similar situation, as they are now the minority surrounded by their historic enemies — Christian infidels.
The primary Koranic verse sanctioning deception vis-à-vis non-Muslims states: “Let believers [Muslims] not take for friends and allies infidels [non-Muslims] instead of believers. Whoever does this shall have no relationship left with Allah — unless you but guard yourselves against them, taking precautions” (3:28; other verses referenced by the ulema in support of taqiyya include 2:173, 2:185, 4:29, 16:106, 22:78, 40:28).
Al-Tabari’s (d. 923) famous tafsir (exegesis of the Koran) is a standard and authoritative reference work in the entire Muslim world. Regarding 3:28, he writes: “If you [Muslims] are under their [infidels’] authority, fearing for yourselves, behave loyally to them, with your tongue, while harboring inner animosity for them. … Allah has forbidden believers from being friendly or on intimate terms with the infidels in place of believers — except when infidels are above them [in authority]. In such a scenario, let them act friendly towards them.”
Regarding 3:28, Ibn Kathir (d. 1373, second in authority only to Tabari) writes, “Whoever at any time or place fears their [infidels’] evil may protect himself through outward show.” As proof of this, he quotes Muhammad’s close companion, Abu Darda, who said, “Let us smile to the face of some people [non-Muslims] while our hearts curse them”; another companion, al-Hassan, said, “Doing taqiyya is acceptable till the Day of Judgment [i.e., in perpetuity].”
Other prominent ulema, such as al-Qurtubi, al-Razi, and al-Arabi, have extended taqiyya to cover deeds. In other words, Muslims can behave like infidels — including by bowing down and worshiping idols and crosses, offering false testimony, even exposing fellow Muslims’ weaknesses to the infidel enemy — anything short of actually killing a Muslim.
Is this why the Muslim American sergeant Hasan Akbar attacked and killed his fellow servicemen in Iraq in 2003? Had his pretense of loyalty finally come up against a wall when he realized Muslims might die at his hands? He had written in his diary: “I may not have killed any Muslims, but being in the army is the same thing. I may have to make a choice very soon on who to kill.”
