Last Friday Muslim attorney Majed Moughni held a anti-terrorism rally outside of the Detroit Court House while the Christmas undie-bomber, Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab, 23, was being arraigned inside.
Here is video of the Muslim anti-terrorism protest:
Now Majed is getting death threats.
Click On Detroit reported:
A Dearborn attorney received a death threat after he led a demonstration against terrorism last Friday.
Majed Moughni reported the call to Dearborn Police Department, which is now investigating the threat.
During the call, which Moughni recorded, the caller tells him how he is going to kill him.
Caller: “I will shoot you. I will put a bullet in your head.”
Last Friday, Moughni led 150 Muslims protesting the act of terrorism on Christmas Day. The protest was held outside of federal court in Downtown Detroit while Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab, 23, was being arraigned inside. Abdulmutallab is the Nigerian accused of trying to blow up Northwest Flight 253 bound for Detroit.
Moughni played the call for Local 4. The conversation turned into a debate.
Caller: “There are consequences of a hypocrite.”
Moughni: “Then that would be a good reason to die.”
The call continued for several minutes. Sometimes the caller spoke in Arabic and said may Allah reward you by giving you a place in hell fire.
“This is the people we are fighting. This is our battle. Our battle is not the world against Islam. It’s Islam and the world against these terrorists. They got me as a target and we’re ready to die,” said Moughni.

Finally, a story about Muslims actually doing something to condemn radical Islamic Terrorism.

Majed Moughni is a brave man and should be supported in his efforts.
January 13th, 2010 | 8:32 am | #3
Prayers for Majed’s well being and that of all his family and friends for showing such courage. Prayers for all who were and are willing to demonstrate against evil.

The disturbing aspect of this is how alone Moughni is. His protest rally was gratifying, but at the same time the small size of it was saddening.
Death threats and intimidation work, and will continue to work until a sufficiently large number of Muslims reach the tipping point, rise up, and join with people like Mougni.
The 500 pound gorilla in the room is the simple fact that the problem is internal to Islam. Being afraid to say so is not a help.
January 13th, 2010 | 8:34 am | #5
This is why they generally don’t speak out. They are afraid of repurcussions.

I’ve been reading about the rise of Nazi Germany and noticed some similarities to Islam. Namely that, like most Germans, most Muslims are silent when it comes to Islamic supremicism and Islamic terrorism. The Germans were mostly passive when it came to Hitler, as can be seen by the small percentage, relative to the population of Germany, of people who were actual members of the Socialist party, (which was the Nazi Party).
Likewise, most Muslims are not members of Al Quaeda, Hezb Allah, Muslim brotherhood, yet it can be argued that their silence is in fact tacit support. As you look around the world, laws passed in Muslim countries show how truly intolerant Islamic laws are: laws against homosexuality, apostasy, blasphemy, and other religions.
Silence is the same as support in these instances.

I think thier hearts truly believe in the radical militant islamic attitude. Many from that region believe Americans are a lesser race than they. I have been told this to my face. The peaceful muslims are few and far between.

Detroit imam Mohammad Elahi spoke at a press conference in Detroit last Friday along with other area Muslim leaders to “denounce terrorism”. Their press conference coincided with the arraignment in the Detroit federal court of Flight 253 Undie-bomber Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab. As I noted over the weekend, a “Muslims Against Terrorism” rally outside the courthouse (in the largest Muslim community in America) only drew 50 attendees.
But who is Mohammad Elahi, and is he really committed to “denouncing terrorism”? Not so much, as the picture below demonstrates. This is the same imam who met with Hezbollah spiritual leader Ayatollah Fadlallah in Lebanon last May.

A bunch of Imam’s across North America declared their own war on these thugs. See this link:

Mr. Moughni, just leave Islam. Islam has no room nor tolerance for “moderates” like yourself who have no wish to actually do what Mohammad did and commanded. Leave it. They’re going to kill you anyway, so leave it, and seek Jesus. Be killed over something worth dying for (for you will not die, though your body does), instead of dying forever, over something as insane and baseless as “moderate” Islam.
January 13th, 2010 | 9:22 am | #12
I won’t support Mr. Moughni, if support consists of futilely attempting to change Islam.
Alchemists in the dark ages figured out that lead cannot be turned into gold.
In this case it’s worse. They’re trying (or telling us they’re trying) to turn feces into ambrosia.
LEAVE IT. Realize that Mohammad was a very evil man, and that to emulate even a tiny portion of his despicable, murderous, destructive, hateful, rapacious life is to make yourself more like the great Serpent of old.

Intolerance ignites intolerance. I stand side by side with Mr. Moughni. A revolution starts with a few brave souls who have the courage to stand for what is inherently right and fight against what is morally wrong.
Look at yourself in the mirror and ask yourself why you would not support a brave man like this. Is it because of your own intolerance?

Mike, you got me. I’m intolerant. After many years of studying both the Quran and many ahadith, and the history of Islam from its inception to the present, I cannot stand by someone who says they will remain in Mohammad’s service….but in a nice way.
It’s not possible, short of all the so-called moderates actually going to all-out shooting/stabbing/killing-in-their-sleep war with the “Radicals”, eliminating their presence from the earth….
IT IS THE MODERATES WHO NEED TO BE ISSUING FATWAS AGAINST THE RADICALS, AND CARRYING THESE FATWAS OUT.
Instead, they put on this little street show for us, explaining with twisted, taqiyya-dripping “logic” that their version of following the sickest, most insane, most demon-posessed man ever to come out of the middle east can actually be made to be a good thing if only we wish hard enough. It’s insanity.

“Sure, I’m a Nazi! But I’m a Moderate Nazi! I’ll stand and talk about how this tiny minority of violent Nazis has taken over the political system founded by our great leader, Adolph Hitler.”
“Sure, I’m KKK! But I’m Moderate KKK!”
“Sure I’m with the Kill or Subjugate Everyone On The Planet Religion! But I’m with the moderate Kill or Subjugate Everyone On The Planet Religion, and we don’t really do what our religion says to do. But we won’t leave it.”
INSANITY.

wow, that is certainly worth repeating..
and i’m simply amazed..
every time a Muslim speaks out against “Islamist terrorism”..
they not only get threatened by their own, but pounced on by those whose side they stand on who ARE NOT OUT THERE PROTESTING ISLAMIST TERRORISM themselves..

January 13th, 2010 | 10:53 am | #18
It’s because they don’t have the guts, or the common sense, to LEAVE Islam, bg. That’s where the pouncing comes from.
I don’t see what’s so amazing about that. If someone’s in a cult, and they talk about how they need to change it, but not leave it, and that even while changing it, it’s an internal problem and that outsiders’ comments are not welcome, then how the hell, and why the hell, should I “stand” with them?

Maybe Mike is right. I’ve dealt with the intolerance of Mohammad’s followers for so long that I’ve become intolerant myself.
These misled people have been killing and subjugating and lying and stealing and destroying all that is good for over twelve hundred years, all because Mo told them all to be intolerant towards non-followers of Mo, for all time.
My tolerance has its limits. Their 1,200 years of intolerant behavior has indeed ignited intolerance.
It sure does bear repeating.

Why won’t FOXNews show Bill Whittle’s interviews (posted above, #19, by Chisum)?
Even FOXNews, the great unholy enemy of all Good Progressives? Even they won’t touch this, despite all the good they do in journalism.
I’m tempted to burn a few thousand DVD’s, playable on regular DVD players, and litter the streets with them. Maybe label them Jay-Z or American Idol or something. Promise a freebie if the person watches it all the way through. (At the end, I’ll put the text, “You’ve just gained knowledge that was being held from you…there’s your freebie!”)
Sad that I think that Americans have reached the point where they have to be tricked into learning something.

that’s your opinion..
the Catholic Church was not “reformed” overnight..
you cannot demand Islam be annihilated &
still claim to stand for freedom of religion..
one of the main reasons the we have not heard from anti-Islamist Muslims is because they can’t get organize, they can’t organize because the deck is stacked against them via Islamists (radical Muslims), the powers that be, and those of the same opinion such as yourself..
there are billions of Muslims.. ergo, even a small
percentage that are radicals is a HUGE number..
the more the demand for Islam to be quashed
grows, the more the number of radicals grow..
Islam is not a religion of peace because of Political Islam aka: Sharia Law, Political Islam aka: Sharia Law is the enemy of all people’s of all religious beliefs..
we need to go after those in political positions who appease Islamsists for expediencies sake.. we are losing the battle not on the battlefield, but in the Halls of Justice in our own Government, in the light of day, right under our noses, eyes wide shut!!
Obama is a proponent of Political Islam aka: Sharia Law..
for that reason alone, he should be removed from office asap..

Where did I state that I unequivocally stand for “freedom of religion”?
If your religion – and all its laws and all its precepts and doctrines, and the actions and words of its founder – demands that you kill or subjugate or forcibly convert all those who do not follow the religion, then I most definitely do not support your freedom to practice that religion. Anyone who does would be suicidal and desirous of national suicide.
Regarding the Catholic church and its reformation: as I understand it, as a layman, the reformers LEFT, and founded Protestantism.
Besides, it’s not a viable analogy. The Christian church reformed by getting back to the basics, by getting back to doing and following the deeds and words of Christ, which made Christianity more peaceful, more loving, more tolerant, and more like the founder.
Islam also reformed, and the result is what you see. In 1979 (or so), Khomeini also got his “church” back to the basics, also by getting back to doing and following the deeds and words of Mohammad, which made Islam more violent, more hateful, more intolerant, and, yes, more like the founder.
You cannot pervert something to GOOD which is evil. Perversion of a text or a religion or a political philosophy can only be negative, just as you cannot add fresh, pure water to a bucket of poison and expect that the poison will be made pure. You can only do the reverse, pollute the good with the poison.
The reformations of Christianity and Islam have one thing in common: they both got their respective religions back to what their founders intended. To change Islam into something good cannot happen. What are we going to do, rewrite all of its history, the Quran, the ahadith, and the entire life of Mohammad? That would be twisting and perverting something which is true into something which is a lie. How are we to lie and twist something in order to produce something good? Like adding fresh water to poison and expecting the poison to be made into fresh water. Only the reverse can happen.
I’m not advocating, though it may sound like it sometimes, the murder-in-their-sleep of Radicals by Moderates. I’m just saying that if they believe their own prophet and that they can NEVER LEAVE, then that is the only option they have left. The moderates, within Islamic jurisprudence and doctrine, don’t have ANY legal basis for their position, and the Radicals have, within their religion and its texts, a solid foundation upon which to base their position.
So I tell the moderates to either leave Islam, or, if they cannot muster the logic and reason and ballsacks that involves, to fight them as their FOUNDER WOULD HAVE (had he somehow, in some alternate history, wanted to be moderate and tolerant), since the Radicals are going to kill them anyway.
Other than all that, I agree with almost everything you post, bg.

Islamic Infiltration “PROJECT”
The Muslim Brotherhood “Project”
The Muslim Brotherhood “Project” (Continued)
i must have posted those links at least
a hundred times over many months..
sad truth is, the “project” has been in the works for a minimum of 3 decades now, and i’ve a feeling it’s been working better than the Islamists even hoped it would.. but then again they can thank US as well, as we’ve helped them by electing Islamists into the political realm in America.. not to mention most Islamists are also Marxists by any other name, hence, the unholy alliance between Democrats (by any other name) & Islamists..
Obama & Dualism
[Islam is based upon the principles of dualism and submission. However, you don't have to be a Muslim to invoke them. Obama has closely aligned himself with Rev. Wright's "Black Liberation Theology", BLT.
[..]
Since Muslims are the best of people and follow a perfect doctrine, there is no need to even examine Islam, since, ipso facto, it is right. Therefore, all criticism of Islam is hate speech.]
Islam & Black Liberation Theology
[Barack Obama has closely aligned himself with Reverend Jeremiah Wright and Black Liberation Theology (BLT). When viewed from the Christian point-of-view, BLT is a strange creed, but when seen from the standpoint of Islam, there is a very strong parallel.
Islam and BLT are theologies that have a political goal of making
all politics submit to their demands. Submission is the political goal.]
The Near Enemy
[We have two sets of enemies. The far enemy is the politics of Islam.
The near enemies are the dhimmi apologists, fueled by ignorance and multiculturalism and political correctness.]
one of Obama’s first speeches as President
was in Cairo and addressed to Muslims..
which is okay by me, however, Obama is
a radical, thereby he legitimized radicals..
oh yeah, did i mention he’s a LIAR too??

whatever, it’s stil your opinion..
i personally believe moderates (ie: Jasser) within the Islamic religion have a hell of a lot more clout in transforming it than if they abandoned it..
unless it could be done en mas..
individuals leaving Islam one at a time serves ill purpose, not to mention would more likely than not reverse Muslims opinion to one of defense..
Jasser for instance, does much better job reaching Muslims than Bridgette Gabriel (God Bless Her & Protect!!), who reaches more non Muslims..
no, i think Jasser is much better off defending
his faith by bucking it from within his faith!!

what message does it send to any muslim
thinking about standing with the infidel when the infidel is busy sharpening the sword of the
one who believes it’s his duty to behead the infidel.
January 13th, 2010 | 3:27 pm | #30
Squeaky: a Muslim standing “with the infidel” is no Muslim, by definition – or the people he stands with are not “infidels”. Take your pick. You can only choose one, logically. Either he stands with the Muslims, or the non-Muslims.
The vacuum of logic on this matter is utterly astounding.

…case in point:

“no, i think Jasser is much better off defending
his faith by bucking it from within his faith!!”
Why do we, as free people, think it is a good thing for anybody at all to be defending Islam, or the posessed man who started it, in any capacity?
Unless by “defending”, you actually meant “defeating” and mis-typed. Because I might actually be on board with that idea. Get some infiltrators from among the moderates to do what the Libs have been doing with our U.S. Constitution: find a whole bunch of stuff in the documents of Islam that isn’t there, but is peaceful and harmonious with all, and at the same time take a whole bunch of stuff that IS in there, and using “penumbras and emanations”, twisted language, and willfull blindness, get rid of it. Yeah, I suppose that’s feasable.
Forgive my sarcasm, incredulity, and cynicism. It just comes naturally when faced with utter, complete illogic.
