Time to Tackle the Muslim Brotherhood by Jagdish N. Singh April 13, 2017 at 4:00 am https://www.gatestoneinstitute.org/10196/tackle-muslim-brotherhood Share102 Comment The final report of the Senate's "Joint Inquiry into Intelligence Community Activities before and after the Terrorist Attacks of September 11, 2001" revealed that U.S.-stationed Saudi intelligence officers, who provided assistance to the hijackers ahead of the World Trade Center and Pentagon bombings, were in direct contact with senior members of the American branch of the Muslim Brotherhood. During the Taliban regime in Kabul, the Brotherhood had training camps in Afghanistan for Kashmiri militants fighting against India and Central Asian states. In his inaugural address on January 20, U.S. President Donald Trump vowed to "unite the civilized world against... and eradicate radical Islamic terrorism." So far, however, the administration in Washington, like its predecessors, has done little to rein in one of the key sources of this growing global phenomenon -- the Muslim Brotherhood. Founded by Sheikh Hassan al-Banna in Egypt in 1928, the Brotherhood does not always openly advocate violence. But its main agenda is to establish a worldwide Islamic Caliphate by way of the sword. As its motto reads: "The Prophet is our leader; jihad is our way; death for the sake of Allah is our wish." The emblem of the Muslim Brotherhood, and its founder, Hassan al-Banna. The Brotherhood's hostility towards the United States has been clear. It not only backed the Taliban regime in Afghanistan, but founded al Qaeda, nineteen of whose operatives perpetrated the 9/11 attacks. The final report of the Senate's "Joint Inquiry into Intelligence Community Activities before and after the Terrorist Attacks of September 11, 2001" -- released in December 2002 -- revealed that U.S.-stationed Saudi intelligence officers, who provided assistance to the hijackers ahead of the World Trade Center and Pentagon bombings, were in direct contact with senior members of the American branch of the Brotherhood. Where future operations are concerned, the Brotherhood currently instructs its members: "...use diverse and varied surveillance systems to gather information...not look for confrontation with adversaries, at the local or the global scale, which would be disproportionate...and master the art of the possible on a temporary basis without abusing the basic [Islamic] principles." Unlike the Obama administration, which viewed the Brotherhood "as a moderate alternative to more violent Islamist groups like al Qaeda and the Islamic State," the new U.S. government is taking a tougher rhetorical stance. In his Senate confirmation hearings on January 11, Secretary of State Rex Tillerson referred to "agents of radical Islam like al Qaeda, the Muslim Brotherhood and certain elements within Iran." Meanwhile, U.S. Senator Ted Cruz (R-Texas), together with Congressman Michael McCaul (R-Texas) and Congressman Mario Diaz-Balart (R-Florida) reintroduced two bills aimed at holding Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps and the Muslim Brotherhood accountable for violent, Islamist, anti-Western ideology and enabling the U.S. to stifle the groups' funding. Moderate Muslims, too, favor action against the Brotherhood. Lebanese Shiite cleric Sheikh Mohammad Hajj Hassan, founder of the American-Muslim Alliance, on the face of it possibly not the most objective commentator on a predominately Sunni organization, called on Trump to designate the Brotherhood as a "Foreign Terrorist Organization." In February, Hassan told Fox News: "Terrorism is the enemy of the whole humanity, including Muslims; these Takfiri [apostate] terrorist organizations distort the real image of Islam and offen[d] Muslims who want to live in peace and security with all segments of the society... This group since its inception practiced killing crimes and terror attacks in the Arab world. In Egypt, Syria, Tunisia and other countries their clerics call for violence." Washington can and should expect support, as well, from the civilized international community in tackling the Brotherhood, which poses a threat to the entire world. Indeed, the organization has active followers in more than 70 countries. One of these is India, which has an obligation to back the U.S. in the war against the Brotherhood and affiliate terrorist organizations, such as ISIS. New Delhi can ill afford to overlook that during the Taliban regime in Kabul, the Brotherhood had training camps in Afghanistan for Kashmiri militants fighting against India and Central Asian states. The time is not only ripe for the U.S. and its allies to eradicate the Muslim Brotherhood; it is well overdue. The author is a senior journalist based in New Delhi. © 2017 Gatestone Institute.

Urgent Messages to the Muslim World by Nonie Darwish March 22, 2017 at 5:00 am https://www.gatestoneinstitute.org/10036/messages-to-muslim-world Share120 Comment A dangerous message is being sent to the Muslim world by the West:  There is nothing that moderate Muslims or anyone else should fear  from radical Islamic terrorism! Look at us Western governments! We  are bringing in refugees who cannot be vetted even if they are ISIS  infiltrators. In fact, we in the West are so goodhearted that we are  encouraging many organizations to operate legally in the West under  the banner of the Muslim Brotherhood -- even organizations that are  sympathetic to the terrorist group Hamas and that are pledging to  overthrow us! The West, by taking all the Syrian refugees, is emptying Syria of any  kind of resistance to the Caliphate (ISIS). The West's compassion,  by taking in the refugees escaping ISIS, will end up leaving only the  radicals to rule unopposed in Syria and Iraq. This, in US foreign policy , is not compassion; it is gross negligence and reckless endangerment. "Tough love" is badly needed when dealing with the Muslim world. We  must say: No, we cannot accept your jihadist aspirations. We cannot  accept you forcing your way of life on the world; your way of life is  unacceptable to us. Before you send your refugees, you must end  your "us against them" jihadist culture. The civilized world no  longer finds your aspirations for an Islamic Caliphate tolerable. The first reaction of the U.S. after 9/11 should have been to stop visas from all  majority-Muslim countries, except for those of utmost importance. But our politicians' hands were tied -- not by fear of a backlash from Islamic countries, which probably expected a U.S. boycott, but by fear of a backlash from the Western media and Western progressives. The decision to keep Muslims, refugees and others pouring into the US after  9/11 was wrong and has not done Islam and Muslim reformers a favor. Here  is why: The chaos and bloodshed in the Muslim world, even in the most moderate of Muslim nations, such as Turkey, is between Muslims who want to enforce  Islamic sharia law, totally and upon everyone by a theocratic government, and those who want less sharia by installing military rule. The West does not understand that the only form of government that can stand up to a totalitarian  Islamic theocracy is a military one and no other. Who could imagine that a military junta could be considered the only savior from Islamic tyrannies that require everyone to live totally, 100%, under the laws of sharia? When former U.S. President Barack Obama honored the Muslim Brotherhood with his first major speech as president, who were his guests of honor in the first  rows? Leaders of the Muslim Brotherhood. The less-radical Islamist military form  of governments in the Middle East were left out and thus weakened. Then Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak, who had a murky relationship with the Muslim  Brotherhood, got the message. He did not attend. With Obama's move, the balance  of power between the two combative forces over control of government immediately  favored the Muslim Brotherhood. It officially, for the first time since its founding in 1928, took control of the Egyptian government after the 2011 chaos of the "Arab  Spring." A year later, 22 million Egyptians had to undergo a bloody counter- revolution to bring back the type of government Egyptians have always favored over an Islamic theocracy. When former U.S. President Barack Obama gave his first major Presidential speech in Cairo, in 2009, his guests of honor in the first rows were leaders of the Muslim Brotherhood. The less-radical Islamist military form of governments in the Middle East were left out and thus weakened. (Image source: White House) Now, another, dangerous, message is being sent to the ordinary citizens of the  Muslim world by the liberal West: There is nothing that moderate Muslims or anyone else should fear from the possible infiltration of radical Islam! Look at us,  Western governments! We are bringing in refugees who cannot be vetted even  if they are ISIS infiltrators. Although the Muslim Brotherhood is illegal and considered a terrorist organization in several Muslim countries, we in the West  do not mind them at all. In fact, we in the West are so kind-hearted and welcoming that we are encouraging many organizations to operate legally in the West under  the banner of the Muslim Brotherhood -- even organizations that are sympathetic  to the terrorist group Hamas and that are pledging to overthrow us! See how we are  courageous, self-confident and free of "Islamophobia"! By embracing the Muslim Brotherhood as not dangerous to free societies and by bringing in refugees from terror-infested areas of the Middle East, we are sending  a message to moderate Muslims in the Middle East: Citizens in the West are not even bothering to protect their free system from being conquered by sharia-lovers,  so perhaps the dreams of the Caliphate are not that bad after all. The West, by taking all the Syrian refugees, is not just sending the above "unintended" message; it is also emptying Syria of any kind of resistance to the Caliphate (ISIS).  The West's compassion, by taking in the refugees escaping ISIS, will end up leaving  only the radicals to rule unopposed in Syria and Iraq. A US foreign policy that recommends absorbing unvetted Muslim refugees has been advocated as compassion, but in fact it is gross negligence and reckless endangerment  to U.S. citizens, Western freedoms and democracy. There are unintended consequences to rescuing all Muslim refugees: We are telling Muslim reformists, wrongly, especially in the Middle East, that  there is nothing to fear from ISIS infiltration. By not declaring the Muslim Brotherhood a terror organization we are yet again  legitimizing and empowering it. By not showing the proper angry response to Islamic terrorism, the West is not  perceived as gracious, but as weak. By taking in Islam and its refugees without proper vetting, the West is not doing either Islam or Muslims any favor: for the reformists, it is shutting out any hope of reform. Tough love is badly needed when dealing with the Muslim world. We must say:  No, we cannot accept your jihadist aspirations. We cannot accept you forcing  your way of life on the world; your way of life is unacceptable to us. Before you  send your refugees, you must end your "us against them" jihadist culture. The  civilized world no longer finds your aspirations for an Islamic Caliphate tolerable. If the West has the courage to do that, perhaps one day history will attribute the  reformation of Muslim world partly to strength and conviction of Western resolve against tyranny and human suffering.

Iran Wants To Raise The Flag Of Islam Over The White House. Will Obama Still Be President?

Iran Cleric Vows to ‘Raise Flag of Islam’ on White House

While members of the Iranian clergy threaten the US with war, Washington seeks a diplomatic agreement with Iran.

Ali Shirazi, an Iranian cleric and an aide to Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, vowed to “raise the flag of Islam over the White House.”

He made the statement while voicing threats against Israel, saying that Iran plans to revenge the death of its soldiers and the deaths of the Hezbollah terrorists who were reportedly killed in an Israel Air force (IAF) airstrike in the Golan Heights in January. The Iranians were plotting a terror attack against Israel.

Shirazi made the remarks during a ceremony for Iranian soldiers who

 died in Syria and Iraq. His comments were posted to the official Iranian

 Revolutionary Guards Corps (IRCG) website and reported by the Arab

 Al Arabiya news site.

Shirazi promised, “The resistance front led by Iran will retaliate from 

the global arrogance of killing [Iranians] and Hezbollah men…. we will

 raise the flag of Islam over the White House.”

The statement echoes another made by Islamic State (ISIS) press 

officer Abu Mosa during a battle with Syrian soldiers, in which he stated:

 “I say to America that the Islamic Caliphate has been established and

 we will not stop. Don’t be cowards and attack us with drones. Instead

 send your soldiers, the ones we humiliated in Iraq. We will humiliate

 them everywhere, God willing. And we will raise the flag of Allah in 

the White House.”

Mosa was reportedly killed in an airstrike only a few weeks after 

his video was released.

ISIS Beheads Christian Children When They Will NOT Convert.

'THEY CHOPPED ALL THEIR HEADS OFF'

Anglican priest recounts ISIS mayhem against Christian children

(WARNING: Some references and images in the following report are extremely graphic. Use extreme caution.)

An Anglican priest known as the “vicar of Baghdad” for his work in war-torn Iraq has recounted atrocities inflicted on Christian children by ISIS, the Muslim jihadist army that has declared the creation of an Islamic caliphate in parts of Iraq and Syria.

“They chopped all their heads off,” Andrew White told the Christian Broadcasting Network in an interview.

See the interview here:

In an interview in Jerusalem, where he was ordered to travel because of threats by ISIS fighters, he told of Iraqi Christian children ordered to convert to Islam or die.

“ISIS [fighters] turned up and they said to the children, ‘You say the words that you will follow Muhammad,’” White said. “The children, all under 15, four of them, they said, ‘No, we love Yasua. We have always loved Yasua. We have always followed Yasua.”

White, mimicking ISIS, shouted, “‘Say the words!’”

But the children replied, “We can’t.”

“They chopped all their heads off,” White said.

“That is what we [Christians in Iraq] have been going through. That is what we are going through,” he said.

Charisma News said in a report that “some some of the bravest martyrs this generation may ever know are teenagers – and perhaps even younger.”

While White, in the report, doesn’t provide a time or location, or whether he personally witnessed the atrocity, he said the same tactic had been used against adults.

“[Islamic jihadists] say to one man, an adult, ‘You say the words of conversion or we will kill all of your children.’ He was desperate. He said the words. Then he phoned me and said, ‘[Father], I said the words, does that mean Yasua doesn’t love me anymore? I have always loved Yasua. I said those words because I couldn’t see my children be killed.’ I said, ‘Jesus still loves you. He will always love you,’” White recalled.

He said that while Iraq had 1.5 million Christians, only a handful remain.

The largest Iraqi Christian community in the world now is in Chicago, he noted.

While reports on beheadings of adults, wholesale slaughter and torture with punishments such as crucifixion are common when ISIS is involved, WND has reported atrocities against children.

One such report came from the Anglican Communion News Service, which said the 5-year-old son of a founder of Baghdad’s Anglican church was “cut in half during an attack by the Islamic State.”

That report also cited an emotional White.

“I’m almost in tears because I’ve just had somebody in my room whose little child was cut in half,” he said. “I baptized his child in my church in Baghdad. This little boy, they named him after me – he was called Andrew,” he said at the time.

The report said it happened in the Christian village of Qaraqosh after Kurdish forces left and ISIS fighters arrived.

A Catholic.org report quoted a source, Mark Arabo, a Chaldean-American businessman, confirming the beheading of children by ISIS fighters, who then “put their heads on a stick and have them in the park.”

“The world hasn’t seen this kind of atrocity in generations,” he told CNN.

The report, which included images, said the terrorists “who have invaded Mosul and other ancient Christian communities in Syria and Iraq have made music videos of themselves murdering civilians and captured soldiers.”

“They are literally enjoying the act of killing and the fear and suffering experienced by others. This sadism may be the purest manifestation of evil witnessed since the Rape of Nanking during WWII.”

Jeff King, president of International Christian Concern, which had staff members traveling in Iraq, evaluated many of the reports and found them “completely consistent with who these guys are.”

“They’re absolute barbarians. We’re at a loss of words to describe who these guys are.”

He cautioned, nevertheless, that news agencies and readers always should be a little skeptical of random images posted online, because there’s likely an element of propaganda in such disputes.

Some of the recent images appeared to have been been staged, he said. But others appeared genuine.

The Anglican report quoted Archbishop of Canterbury Justin Welby.

“The horrific events in Iraq rightly call our attention and sorrow yet again. Christians and other religious minorities are being killed and face terrible suffering,” he said.

“What we are seeing in Iraq violates brutally people’s right to freedom of religion and belief, as set out under Article 18 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. It is extremely important that aid efforts are supported and that those who have been displaced are able to find safety. I believe that, like France, the United Kingdom’s doors should be open to refugees, as they have been throughout history.”

The Catholic.org report, which included images, said ISIS terrorists “have begun their promised killing of Christians in Mosul, and they have started with the children.”

“Several images have emerged of Christian children beheaded by ISIS, merely for being Christian,” the report said.

The report said the Muslim fighters crucified victims “because to them crucifixion is especially humiliating due to its Christian implications.”

The images show children lying in rocky fields where they died, a woman whose throat was cut and the decapitated bodies of children.

A Gospel Coalition “Factchecker” is warning that one of the images reportedly goes back to 2013 when it was claimed she was a Muslim Syrian girl named Fatima Meghlaj who was decapitated when Syrian forces shelled her home.

“ISIS is an organization that has committed heinous acts of violence and violated the human rights of many of our fellow believers,” the organization said. “But we must not partake in the spreading of lies, even if it is against our enemies.”

The report continued: “While it is possible that children are being beheaded by ISIS in Iraq, there is currently no credible evidence to support that claim. We should pray this report turn[s] out to be just rumor and that whatever other crimes are being committed, that God is sparing the children of Iraq from ‘systematic beheading.’”

Bishop Julian Dobbs of Barnabas Aid told WND he’s heard accounts of “atrocities against all Christians, adult and children.”

“This is a disaster of almost unparalleled proportions for Christians,” he said.

The Catholic.org report said the images and videos are made and distributed “to intimidate others.” One showed blood gushing from a woman whose throat was slit. Another was of a “distraught father in Syria” holding the body of his decapitated daughter, who was executed because she was of a Christian family.

WARNING: Following are extremely graphic images, purportedly of atrocities against children by jihadist fighters. Please exercise extreme caution.

WND columnist Les Kinsolving has noted the beheadings of captured Western adults and has suggested a solution.

“What would surely seem more effective … would be an Obama announcement that he had ordered Navy SEALs and Army Special Forces to engage in campaigns of mass capture of ISIS and other Muslim murderers of our troops. Then, with massive capture, an order could be given to execute five to 10 of these Muslim killers for every one of American forces and allies who are beheaded,” he wrote.

WND columnist Jerry Newcombe joined the conversation, writing: “I saw a photograph that makes me sick. It is the corpse of a little girl, about 10 years old, wearing a dress and tights. She lies sprawled on the floor with her arms outstretched. For a presumably poor girl, she looks like she’s dressed in her Sunday best.

“This photo makes you sick. It’s right out of a horror movie. Something within you dies when you look at it,” he continued. “How could you kill a child? And more importantly, how could you do so in the name of God? As of this writing, Christians continue to be killed in Iraq simply because they won’t convert to Islam. It is convert, flee, or die.”
