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 Quran 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 Quran 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.

Well, I guess you never read any of the Islamic holy books, or you would not say that they have been corrupted by extremists. Who cares about atheists? They have their own row to hoe.
how the hell do you know what you know more of compared to someone else?
I was thinking I was helping you out but sod it
“allah akkk!” is about all they’ll get to if I’m in the room ... ;-)
It's going to take more than words = especially since the fanatics are taught it's allowed to lie to the infidels - to make friends with them and then kill them.
Which is exactly what the CIA bomber did...
Let's hope this is sincere - and not a 'mass-move' to be 'friends' before a wide spread move...
Reagan: "Trust - but verify."
They can smell the backlash that’s coming.
America’s patience has worn thin with the Satan-worshipping sons-of-bitches.
If there is one more successful attack on this country, I wouldn’t want to be in their shoes.
...takiya.

“What Has This Country Come To!” was the general topic
with the locals as well as the out-of-town folks at
the Gun Show on Sat.,,,
Met some friends and walked around a little,,,
The “Crush” came about 1:00 when the crowd got there,,,
Texas folks I guess,,,
We retreated to the snack bar for coffee and watched the
stream of folks go by with new guns and lot's of ammo,,,
I've never been so happy to live in NW Louisiana,,,
I've never been so sad for the folks that have to live in
the North...
“Well, I guess you never read any of the Islamic holy books, or you would not say that they have been corrupted by extremists.”
I never said that the books or texts of the Islamic holy books have been corrupted by jihadists or extremists. I’m pointing out that Islamic extremists who murder and believe they have “martyred” other muslims for their non-jihadist interpretation(s) are not legitimate muslims. For these terrorists and their victims, there is absolutely nothing to be gained unless their surviving family members have been paid in exchange for a volunteer(s) to perform a terrorist act(s).
The idea that the victims are also martyred makes me wonder why the victims’ families are not being paid.
Nevertheless, if those kinds of terrorist contracts are carried out apart from normal muslim society then it would be like the American mafia where they might take solace in the fact or attempt to justify their actions by pointing out that they were only having other mobsters killed.
“It’s going to take more than words = especially since the fanatics are taught it’s allowed to lie to the infidels - to make friends with them and then kill them.”
“Which is exactly what the CIA bomber did...”
For some, that’s just another inconvenient truth.
“Im pointing out that Islamic extremists who murder and believe they have martyred other muslims for their non-jihadist interpretation(s) are not legitimate muslims.”
There is only one version of Islam. If you have read the 5 books (koran, muslims, bukhari, tabari, and ishaq) then you would know that there is no such thing as a “legitimate muslim”. There is only one kind. No other.
If you imagine that any of the acts of violence by “muslim extemist” is commited for monetary gain then you totally misunderstand their intents, and motivations. Islam is not a Middle Eastern version of Christainity - from which view point you seem to be looking at all of this. Islam is the antithesis of Christainity/Jedaiism.
Jihad is “normal muslim society”. Jihad is obligitiory for all muslims. The Mafia comparison is inept and misleading - the Mafia does what they do for money and power, jihadis do what they do because allah commanded all muslims to jihad.
When jihadis are not killing westerners, the are busy killing each other - why do you imagine the Saudis export their most violent imams to the west setting up wahhabist mosques? As any honest Saudi will tell you - it is because they fear them, and it is better to have them any where else than in Saudi.
As for the moderate or the normal muslim - those who have not done jihadi... yet, they best thought of this way:
“They also serve who only stand and wait.” - John Milton, in the poem “On His Blindness”.
I don’t know if you’ve ever read the Asia Times and Spengler, but here’s an illustrative joke about normal Islmic society:
A Comparative Tale of Two Religions
Christian vs. Christian
A man was despondent. His life seemed worthless. He decided to end it all and climbed up onto a bridge railing high above a raging river.
Just as he was leaning forward to make his final plunge, a man happened by and said, “Wait. Let me help you.”
How can you help me? My life is over?”
“Are you a Christian, Jew, Hindu or Muslim?”
“A Christian”
“So am I! What denomination are you?”
“I used to be a Catholic, but have not been to mass in decades.”
“Im a Protestant. Let me help you find your way back to life.”
“What can you possibly tell me?”
“I can tell you that Jesus loves you and for His sake and His love of you, you cannot take your life. There is so much more to live for.”
“Like what?”
“Children.”
“I dont have any.”
“Neither do I. But there are still children in need of adults to guide them. Would you deny some child your wisdom and experience?”
“No, of course not!”
“Then step back and come with me.”
So the two men walked off together.
Muslims vs. Muslim
Far away in a distant land, another man stood on a different bridge.
A man was walking across a bridge one day, and he saw a man standing on the edge, about to jump off and commit suicide.
He immediately ran over and said, “Stop! Dont do it!”
“Why shouldnt I?” the other replied.
The man said, “Well, theres so much to live for!”
“Like what?”
“Well are you religious or atheist?”
“Religious.”
“Me too! Are you Muslim, Christian or Jewish?”
“Muslim.”
“Me too! Sunni or Shiite?”
“Sunni.”
“Me too! Hanafi, Hanbali, Shafi or Maliki?”
“Hanafi.”
“Wow! Me too! Do you follow Sheikh Fulaan al-Fullani or Sheikh Kaza Kazah?”
“Sheikh Fulaan al-Fullani.”
To which the first man said, “What?!! Die, heretic scum!” and pushed him off the bridge.

“If you imagine that any of the acts of violence by muslim extemist is commited for monetary gain then you totally misunderstand their intents, and motivations.”
I should’ve referred to Saddam Hussein and how he would pay Islamic extremist’s families in US Dollars when one of them VOLUNTARILY martyred themselves and how no money was paid to any of the non-extremist muslim victims’ families- Sunni on Shiite, Shiite on Sunni, whatever. Either way, nothing is ever gained unless they martyr themselves right out of existence. That would be world’s gain and a loss to no one but Islamic extremists and other al Qaeda types.
This is not a money issue - unless you count buying weapons and explosives to kill more non-muslims. Personal gain was not happening.
The muslim violence will never end as long as that book exits.
Charlie Yankee Alpha!
BULL S****
They are pissing on us and trying to tell us it’s raining.
Scary stuff La Dita... we are in Buffalo on family visit this week.
And in completely unrelated news 48 hours later...
Canadas airlines and airports have been put on a heightened state of alert.
CTV News reports Transport Canada issued a warning to all Canadian airlines, airports and the Air Transport Security Authority on Saturday after Canada received credible intelligence of a potential terrorist threat.

Okay...I question the assertion that non-extremist muslims who are murdered by Islamic extremists are not truly martyred. It’s jihad run amok.
