GERMANY OFFERS HOTLINE FOR RADICAL MUSLIMS

DON’T SET OFF THE BOMB WITHOUT SAYING GOOD-BYE

by

Paul L. Williams, Ph.D.

If you are a Muslim suicide bomber in Germany and have second thoughts about carrying out your mission, we have good news for you.

You can call the suicide bomber hotline at 0221/792-699 and receive immediate advise from trained advisors.

The hotline is called HATIF, meaning “telephone” in Arabic and has been set up to provide guidance to Muslims who want to abandon the jihad against all non-believers.

“The primary goal of HATIF is to prevent violence in the name of Islam,” states the German Federal Constitution Protection Office.

A spokeswoman for the German domestic intelligence agency says that all callers will be granted absolute anonymity and that no tips will be related to counter-terrorism units or law enforcement officials.

The amount of money that the German government has set aside for this unique endeavor remains a mystery – - also unknown is the number of employees standing by to take the incoming calls.

“Our program is an offer for those who want to leave extremism behind,” one program official told the Associated Press. “Once we find out what their needs are, we will develop the program accordingly,” she said. The program will also reportedly help family members and friends of people who have come under influence of extremists.

“We know that in almost all of these groups, there are people who want to leave, but it is not easy to get out of such an environment,” saya Peter Neumann, an expert from the International Centre for the Study of Radicalization and Political Violence in London. “Therefore it is great that Germany makes this offer even though this definitely won’t lead to the end of radical Islam in Germany.” Neumann also mentioned that no such program exists anywhere else in Europe.

There are approximately 36,000 Islamist extremists presently in Germany – - many are considered to be potentially violent.

The Muslim population in Germany has climbed to 4.3 million, making Muslims account for 5.2 per cent of the country’s population.

The new government service is offered in Arabic, Turkish, and German.

Those who do not wish to call may receive help and discouragement by sending an e-mail to hatif@bfv.bund, or by visiting http://www.verfassungsschutz.de/en/index_en.html

After the terrorist attacks of 11 September 2001, the Bundesamt für Verfassungsschutz (BfV / Federal Office for the Protection of the Constitution) has clearly intensified its efforts to look into Islamic extremism and Islamist terrorism.

In view of the extensive threat posed by Islamist terrorism, we would like to address all fellow citizens – especially those of the Muslim faith – and ask you for your assistance:

• Do you know of any planned acts of violence or terrorist attacks?
• Do you know anybody who is involved in the planning of acts of violence or terrorist attacks?
• Do you know of anybody being recruited for such planning?

Your hints can be of great significance for us and may save human lives. You can contact us under the following phone number:

+49-221-792-3366

This hotline is staffed 24 hours a day.

Monday to friday from 9.00 a.m. to 3.00 p.m., callers can be attended in Turkish or Arabic. Confidentiality is granted.

Shariah for Uncle Sam?

White House Official Endorses Universal Caliphate

by

Paul L. Williams, Ph.D.

The first woman to wear a veil in the White House has endorsed the Gulen movement which seeks to restore the Ottoman Empire and to establish a universal caliphate.

Dalia Mogahed, President Barack Obama’s Muslim advisor, said: “I think the Gülen movement offers people a model of what is possible if a dedicated group of people work together for the good of the society. I also think that it is an inspiration for other people and Muslims for what they can accomplish.”

Asked about the movement’s hidden agenda, Mogahed told Sunday’s Zaman that she usually does not attach any importance to such allegations.

“It (the Gulen movement) has moved beyond Turkey in its very benevolent projects and it serves people from all around the world of all backgrounds, but it is still made up mostly of Turks. That is what I feel is in need of expanding,” she said.

Fethullah Gulen has been called the “most dangerous Islamist” in the world.

He has amassed a fortune – - thanks, in part, to the CIA – - of $25 billion.

This money has been used to transform the secular government of Turkey into an Islamic Republic under the Justice and Democratic Party (Adalet ve Kalkinma, AKP)- – a party under the Gulen’s control.

Abdullah Gul, Turkey’s first Islamist President, is a Gulen disciple along with Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan, and Yusuf Ziya Ozcan, the head of Turkey’s Council of Higher Education.

Under the AKP, Turkey has transformed from a secular state into an Islamic country with 85,000 active mosques – - one for every 350- citizens – - the highest number per capita in the world, 90,000 imams, more imams than teachers and physicians – - and thousands of state-run Islamic schools.

Turkey, as Rachel Sharon-Krespin points out in Middle East Forum, has never seen a single incident of attacks on pious Muslims for fasting during Ramadan, whereas in recent years there have been many incidents of attacks on less-observant Turks for drinking alcohol or not fasting and on Christian clerics, including the recent murder of a Catholic bishop. While women who cover their heads in the Islamic manner can move freely in any area of the country, uncovered women are increasingly unwelcome in certain regions and are often physically assaulted by observant Islamists.

AKP leaders, including Gül and Erdoğan, have repeatedly expressed their opposition to the “imprisonment of Islam in the mosque,” demanding that it become omnipresent as the prevailing force throughout modern Turkey.

Ms. Mogahed call for the expansion of the Gulen movement throughout the world has failed to evoke a negative remark or comment from the national press.

Born in Egypt, Ms. Mogahed has been a staunch defender of the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) and the Islamic Society of North America (ISNA). Both of these US groups are tied to the Muslim Brotherhood.

In addition to her White House position, Ms. Mogahed serves as the Director of the Gallup Center for Muslim Studies.

CONCESSION TO GROWING ISLAMIC POPULATION

U.S. MEDS MANIFEST MUSLIM SENSITIVITY

AMERICAN ACADEMY OF PEDIATRICS SANCTIONS FEMALE CIRCUMCISION

thelastcrusade.org

Realizing that the Islamic population in the U.S. has soared to ten million, the American Academy of Pediatrics wants American doctors receive legal permission to perform a ceremonial pinprick or “nick” on the genitalia of Muslim baby girls.

The academy’s committee on bioethics, in a policy statement last week, said some pediatricians had suggested that current federal law, which “makes criminal any non-medical procedure performed on the genitals” of a girl in the United States, has had the unintended consequence of driving some families to take their daughters to other countries to undergo circumcision.

“It might be more effective if federal and state laws enabled pediatricians to reach out to families by offering a ritual nick as a possible compromise to avoid greater harm,” the group said.

Opponents of female genital mutilation, or F.G.M., have decried the Academy’s stance.

“I am sure the academy had only good intentions, but what their recommendation has done is only create confusion about whether F.G.M. is acceptable in any form, and it is the wrong step forward on how best to protect young women and girls,” said Representative Joseph Crowley, Democrat of New York, who recently introduced a bill to toughen federal law by making it a crime to take a girl overseas to be circumcised. “F.G.M. serves no medical purpose, and it is rightfully banned in the U.S.”

Georganne Chapin, executive director of an advocacy group called Intact America, said she was “astonished that a group of intelligent people did not see the utter slippery slope that we put physicians on” with the new policy statement. “How much blood will parents be satisfied with?”

Ms. Chapin added: “There are countries in the world that allow wife beating, slavery and child abuse, but we don’t allow people to practice those customs in this country. We don’t let people have slavery a little bit because they’re going to do it anyway, or beat their wives a little bit because they’re going to do it anyway.”

A member of the academy’s bioethics committee, Dr. Lainie Friedman Ross, associate director of the MacLean Center for Clinical Medical Ethics at the University of Chicago, said the panel’s intent was to issue a “statement on safety in a culturally sensitive context.”

Dr. Friedman Ross said that the committee members “oppose all types of female genital cutting that impose risks or physical or psychological harm,” and consider the ritual nick “a last resort,” but that the nick is “supposed to be as benign as getting a girl’s ears pierced. It’s taking a pin and creating a drop of blood.”

She said the panel had only heard hackneyed anecdotes from worried doctors.

“If we just told parents, ‘No, this is wrong,’ our concern is they may take their daughters back to their home countries, where the procedure may be more extensive cutting and may even be done without anesthesia, with unsterilized knives or even glass,” she said. “A just-say-no policy may end up alienating these families, who are going to then find an alternative that will do more harm than good.”

More than 130 million women and girls worldwide have undergone female genital cutting, according to the American Congress of Obstetricians and Gynecologists. It is mostly performed on girls younger than 15 in countries including Ethiopia, Sudan and Somalia. Consequences can include severe complications with pregnancy, childbirth and sexual dysfunction.

The academy’s statement acknowledged that opponents of the procedure, “including women from African countries, strongly oppose any compromise that would legitimize even the most minimal procedure.”

Dr. Friedman Ross said, “If you medicalize it and say it’s permissible, is there a possibility that some people will misunderstand it and go beyond a nick? Yes.”

But she added the risk that people denied the ceremonial procedure, usually on the clitoris, would opt for the more harmful one was much more dangerous.

And the statement said that, “in some countries where FGC is common, some progress toward eradication or amelioration has been made by substituting ritual ‘nicks’ for more severe forms.” The Last Crusade can find no reported accounts or other evidence to support the statement regarding “ritual nicks”.

WARNING! GRAPHIC PHOTO

IN VOGUE: BEHIND THE VEIL

GALA ISLAMIC EVENT GETS UNDERWAY TODAY

thelastcrusade.org

She might be nubile and nude beneath the niqab or a withered old hag.

Few will know when Islamic women gather today in Winnipeg to demand the right to wear their form and face concealing niqab.

The event takes place from 6:30 to 8:30 p.m. in the Carol Shields Auditorium at the Millennium Library.

It will feature the latest in Islamic fashion, including the burquini which is sure to capture more attention on the beach than the scantiest bikini.

“It’s a woman’s choice to wear a miniskirt or niqab,” says event organizer Shahina Siddiqui, president of the Islamic Social Services Association.

A niqab is a full-body garment that covers the hair and face, except for the eyes.

For Canada to be truly inclusive, people need to have a better understanding of each other, Ms. Siddiqui maintains, even if they cannot see the person with whom they are trying to communicate.

The organizers of the event are fearful that Canada and other Western countries might follow France in banning the wearing of hijabs and religious head scarves in public schools.

“People said, ‘There’s no way it’s going to happen here,’ ” Ms. Siddiqui says.

But in the last two months in this country, two women in Quebec have been ejected from class for not removing their religious head coverings. That’s too close for comfort for the Islamic Social Services Association

“Where does it end?” Ms. Siddiqui asks.

She wants Islamic women throughout Canada to voice their protest against “religious intolerance,” such as the demand that they remove their facial covering for the purpose of security.

Thousands of Muslim women are expected to join here although few will be possible to recognize.

Manitoba’s Muslim population is growing as the province increases its annual immigration targets.

In 1991, there were 2,805 Muslims in Manitoba. In 2001, there were 5,100.

Today, there are more than 7,000.

By 2015, the Muslim population is again expected to triple.

NIX TO NIQAB

BEHIND THE VEIL

thelstcrusade.org

A French journalist who posed as an Islamic woman and wore a full-length niqab in public for five days to report on the experience says she felt isolated, humiliated, and disgraced.

Elizabeth Alexandre, who reports her findings in this month’s issue of the French publication Marie Claire, wrote the article in an effort to deal with with the controversy surrounding the niqab, or Islamic face veil, that is raging in France.

“I wanted to feel the fabric on my cheeks and forehead and see the world from this tiny slit. I also wanted to know how the world would see me,” Alexandre writes. “I felt as if I am inside a tent. I couldn’t see my feet and when I walked the garment rolled around my legs and I had to slow down. I was terrified I was going to fall on my face.”

The French journalist draws three conclusions from her week under the veil. She says the veil is impractical and uncomfortable; that it creates isolation; and that it arouses self-consciousness.

“Being totally covered made me feel that my body is a disgrace. All men around me turned into sexually obsessed beasts that want to devour me. It is then that I felt I need the veil to protect me from this imminent danger. For the first time in my life, I felt I was a sex bomb and a source of sin,” Alexandre maintains. “This secrecy gives free reign to everybody’s imagination and makes people wonder about what the hidden parts look like.”

The U.S. Army rescinded its invitation to evangelist Franklin Graham for the upcoming National Day of Prayer at the Pentagon over controversial remarks he made about Islam.

“True Islam cannot be practiced in this country,” he told CNN’s Campbell Brown last December. “You can’t beat your wife. You cannot murder your children if you think they’ve committed adultery or something like that, which they do practice in these other countries.”

Fitzgerald: Ayatollah Khomeini and Fethullah Gulen

The Ayatollah Khomeini was forced to leave Iran by the Shah, but he found refuge in Iraq, and lived there for years until Saddam Hussein booted him out. Saddam considered him a potential threat to the Sunni despotism that, disguised as “Ba’athism,” had reigned, more and less harshly depending on the ruler and the outside circumstances, in Iraq for decades. And when he had to leave Iraq, it was not clear where Ayatollah Khomeini could go. He couldn’t return to Iran. But he also couldn’t or wouldn’t be taken in by any other Muslim Arab state, for they were all ruled by, dominated by, Sunni Arabs. They would not likely give refuge to a fanatical Shi’a Muslim who might hearten local Shi’as (in such countries as Bahrain, Lebanon, Saudi Arabia, Yemen). In any case, he would be regarded with natural hostility and distrust, not unmingled with contempt, by Sunni Arabs.

But there was one country that was wiling to take the Ayatollah Khomeini in. And that country was not a Muslim state, but France. Famous for offering refuge to all sorts of revolutionaries and dissidents in the nineteenth century, the French government, or some in it, no doubt were moved by the Morality Play that was artfully constructed. According to it, the Shah, being vainglorious (he was that), and his court, being corrupt (it was that), and the regime, being allied to the Americans (it was that), was certifiably on the side of the Devil. And therefore Khomeini must have been a brave, tiers-monde debout-les-damnés-de-la-terre fighter for freedom, with – who could expect otherwise? – a special fondness and interest in Islam. But why not, and what was wrong with Islam anyway?

So he settled down, did this fanatic, into a comfortable existence at Neauphle-le-Chateau. And there he was not prevented from acting, not prevented from receiving visitors, not prevented from recording tapes full of calls for the violent overthrow of the Shah. Those tapes were then smuggled back to Iran, re-recorded by the tens of thousands, and then sent all over Iran to be listened to by others, including the rural poor and the urban bazaris. They were eager to listen to this fiery orator who was also a learned Shi’a theologian, and could appeal without any effort to the texts and tenets of Islam for support as he painted the Shah as an enemy of Islam because the Shah was a friend of, and defender of, Infidels.

MADRASSAHS FOR THE U.S. MASSES: AN EXPLOSIVE EXPOSE’

NETWORK DRAINS MILLIONS FROM AMERICAN TAXPAYERS

by

Paul L. Williams, Ph.D.

Turkish Muslims, under the leadership of Fethullah Gulen, have established over 85 madrassahs (Islamic schools) throughout the United States to further the cause of radical Islam.

The madrassahs, set up as “charter schools,” receive millions from U.S. taxpayers and serve to promote “education jihad” by radicalizing students to promote a universal caliphate.

How dangerous are the Gulen schools?

Consider Tarek ibn Ziyad (TIZA) Academy in Inver Grove Heights, Minnesota – - a charter school with 300 students – - almost all Muslims.

TIZA was established in 2003, and received $4.7 million from Minnesota taxpayers in 2008 – 2009.

It is named after Tarek ibn Ziyas, the Muslim warlord who conquered Spain.

Students at TIZA pray Islamic prayers; the cafeteria serves halal food; and Islamic studies are held within the building every day. The entranceway is inscribed with passages from the Quran and the Hadith.

Recently, a TIZA teacher testified that one of her duties was taking the female students to the restroom in order to supervise their ritual washing before the Friday prayer service.

TIZA is so radically Islamic and subversive in nature that the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) has initiated a lawsuit to shut it down. In the suit, the ACLU maintains that the school requires female teachers to be covered “from neck to wrist and ankle,” and female students to wear full-length dresses (jihaabs)

Yet the Minnesota Department of Education ruled that TIZA is neither an Islamic nor a religious school.

The decision remains quizzical in light of the fact that TIZA is closely linked to the Muslim American Society (MAS) of Minnesota, which occupies space within the school building.

MAS has been called “the Muslim equivalent of the Neo-Nazi party.”

“It is the de facto arm of the Muslim Brotherhood in the U.S.,” said Steven Emerson, director of the Investigative Project on Terrorism. “The agenda of the MAS is to … impose Islamic law in the U.S., to undermine U.S. counterterrorism policy.”

MAS was founded by members of the Muslim Brotherhood, an international Islamist movement created in Egypt in 1928. Radical members of the Brotherhood founded the terror group Hamas and were among the first members of Al Qaeda.

The Muslim American Society’s former secretary general has acknowledged that the group was founded by the Brotherhood, and in 2004 he estimated that about half of MAS members were in the Muslim Brotherhood.

“Ikhwan [Brotherhood] members founded MAS, but MAS went way beyond that point of conception,” Shaker Elsayed told the Chicago Tribune, explaining that the group had expanded to include a wider viewpoint.

The Department of Justice has never taken action against MAS and declined to comment on whether it was investigating the group’s ties.

Charles Samuelson, Minnesota’s Executive Director of the ACLU, says that the Gulen charter school funnels money – - derived from US taxpayers – - to MAS without a word of censure from the Minnesota Department of Education or the Internal Revenue officials who supervise the activities of non-profit schools and organizations.

The Minnesota chapter of MAS featured writings on its website from Islamic clerics praising Hamas and urging Muslims to “wage Jihad until death.”

Last December, the Minnseota chapter funded Representative Keith Ellison’s trip to Mecca. Ellison, a Democrat, became the first U.S. congressman to make a hajj.

“Their founding ideologues are all members of the Muslim Brotherhood,” Emerson said. “I don’t think you can get more radical in the United States without crossing the line to incitement.”

TIZA is not unique. Other Gulen schools within the US, including the Beehive Academy in Salt Lake City, the Chesapeake Science Point School in Washington DC, and the Sonoran Academy in Tucson have been charged with indoctrinating students in the tenets of radical Islam so they may be of serve in the restoration of the Ottoman Empire and the creation of an Islamic world order.

Most of these schools are staffed by Turkish teachers – - primarily male – - who reportedly are bound by tuzuk – - an obligatory pay back of 40% of their wages to the Gulen movement.

Stay tuned.

More on Gulen and the threat of his movement to national security forthcoming.

The Last Crusade has had a team of Crusaders operating deep inside Turkey for many months. These Crusaders have collected irrefutable evidence of the threat posed by Fethullah Gulen to both the Turkish democracy and the United States of America.

IMAMS INSIST PRACTICE MUST BE MANDATORY

SUGGESTED AGE FOR MUTILATION: 7 DAYS

thelastcrusade.org

Nahdlatul Ulama (NU), the leading Islamic organization in Indonesia with 30 million members, sanctioned pedophilia this weekend at its 32nd Congress, ruling that Muslim men may marry prepubescent girls as young as six, and also gave its stamp of approval on female genital mutilation.

The NU clerics ruled that female circumcision should not only be viewed as “sunnah” or “recommended but should be made mandatory throughout the Islamic world.

Several of the Sunni clerics in attendance offered suggestions that midwives and handmaids should employ while conducting partial clitoridectomies.

“Don’t cut too much. Just cut the small skin on the tip of the clitoris. Otherwise, a woman would lose her sexuality, and you males don’t like that to happen, do you?” prominent cleric KH Mohammad Masyhuri Naim told a press conference.

Mr. Masyhuri, who is also a member of NU Suriah (lawmaking body), said that a proper female circumcision should not cause any damage to woman genitals. “No bleeding, if you do it properly.”

He suggested that circumcision should be conducted on a female baby at the age of 7 days.

The NU religious leader also took an example of mass female circumcision in Bandung in the past which had triggered opposition from many Islam communities, some of which then considered female circumcision haram.

“That was not a good example of the way to conduct a female circumcision. The bad thing was that the media had blown the issue out of proportion,” Mr.Masyhuri said.

Nahdlatul Ulama has been the authoritative voice of Islam in Indonesia since 1926.

Lolo Soetoro, President Barack Obama’s stepfather, reportedly was a member in good standing of this organization until his death of liver cancer in 1981.

Scores of cases involving the genital mutilation of infant Muslim girls have been reported in the United States in recent years. On March 15, 2010, a Muslim woman was arrested in Le Grange, Georgia, for performing a life-threatening clitoridectomy on her newborn daughter.

140 million Muslim women throughout the world have been subjected to circumcision – - almost all in primitive and unsanitary settings.

The National Women’s Health Information Center reports that preventing minors from undergoing FGM is hampered by problems “with cultural adaptation, immigration status, economic issues, isolation and access to education and healthcare services.”

The Center further states that remains unlikely that a girl or woman experiencing complications from undergoing female genital mutilation will receive health care “because the fear of legal repercussions would be too strong.”

Although female genital mutilation is illegal under federal law, only seventeen states have passed legislation that criminalizes the practice on minors and children.
