Aghast Scholarship
From Bill Warner,
Director, Center for the Study of Political Islam, copywrited material reprinted with permission:
February 13, 2010
Claude Salhami was 'aghast' at a recent politicalislam.com newsletter-Is a Nice Muslim a Good Muslim? He replied to the newsletter with his Scourge of 'Islam Experts', but he missed my point.
The point of the Nice Muslim newsletter is that the doctrine of Islam is inhuman, not that Muslims always practice the Islamic doctrine at all times. A Muslim can be a fine person in dealing with a kafir when they are not practicing Islam. A summary of the Nice Muslim argument is:
•The Koran defines the kafir, a non-Muslim. A kafir is hated and plotted against by Allah. Kafirs can be killed, tortured, crucified, raped, insulted, enslaved and deceived. Kafir is the worst word in the human language. A kafir does not have any positive attributes.
•There is no Golden Rule in Islamic ethics. The Koran repeats 12 times that a Muslim is not the friend of a kafir.
•Mohammed repeatedly said that it is good to deceive the kafirs, if it advances Islam.
•Mohammed destroyed each and every kafir neighbor. It is Islam's purpose to make all kafirs submit to Islam.
•A Muslim can only be a true friend to a kafir by the use of the Golden Rule, a non-Islamic principle.
The conclusion is that there is no good in Islam for the kafir. Sure there are those 2.6% of the Koranic words that seem to be good, but in every case the so-called good verses are abrogated later.
Anyone who implements the doctrine of Islam is not the friend of a kafir. If they are actually a friend, it is because of the power of the Golden Rule, not Islam. There is no good in Islam for the kafir. Note that this result was reached without the use of a single verse of the Koran (no cherry picking), but uses the systemic nature of its kafir doctrine.

Independence Day and Why We Fight Jihad
From the writings of Robert Spencer of Jihad Watch
Freedom of religion - WHAT WE MUST DEFEND
"Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion,or prohibiting the free exercise thereof..."
First Amendment to the U.S. Constitution
WHAT WE MUST DEFEND IT AGAINST:
"Islam isn't in America to be equal to any other faith, but to become dominant. The Koran should be the highest authority in America, and Islam the only accepted religion on Earth."
CAIR co-founder and longtime Board Chairman Omar Ahmad (he denies saying it, but the original reporter stands by her story)
"I wouldn't want to create the impression that I wouldn't like the government of the United States to be Islamic sometime in the future."
CAIR's Ibrahim Hooper
The Muslim Brotherhood must understand that their work in America is a kind of grand Jihad in eliminating and destroying the Western civilization from within and sabotaging its miserable house by theirhands and the hands of the believers so that it is eliminated and Allahs religion is made victorious over all other religions."
Mohamed Akram, An Explanatory Memorandum on the General Strategic Goal for the Group in North America, May 22, 1991
Freedom of speech - WHAT WE MUST DEFEND:
"Congress shall make no law...abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press..."
First Amendment to the U.S. Constitution
WHAT WE MUST DEFEND IT AGAINST:
"In confronting the Danish cartoons and the Dutch film 'Fitna', we sent a clear message to the West regarding the red lines that should not be crossed. As we speak, the official West and its public opinion are all now well-aware of the sensitivities of these issues. They have also started to look seriously into the question of freedom of expression from the perspective of its inherent responsibility, which should not be overlooked."
Ekmeleddin Ihsanoglu, Secretary General of the 57-nation Organization of the Islamic Conference
"Pakistan will ask the European Union countries to amend laws
regarding freedom of expression in order to prevent offensive
incidents such as the printing of blasphemous caricatures of Prophet
Muhammad (Peace Be Upon Him) and the production of an anti-Islam film by a Dutch legislator..."
Daily Times, June 8, 2008
Equality of rights before the law - WHAT WE MUST DEFEND:
"We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness."
Declaration of Independence
WHAT WE MUST DEFEND IT AGAINST:
"The indemnity for the death or injury of a woman is one-half the indemnity paid for a man. The indemnity paid for a Jew or Christian is one-third the indemnity paid for a Muslim. The indemnity paid for a Zoroastrian is one-fifteenth that of a Muslim."
'Umdat al-Salik, o4.9
"Thus if [a] Muslim commits adultery his punishment is 100 lashes, the shaving of his head, and one year of banishment. But if the man is not a Muslim and commits adultery with a Muslim woman his penalty is execution...Similarly if a Muslim deliberately murders another Muslim he falls under the law of retaliation and must by law be put to death by the next of kin. But if a non-Muslim who dies at the hand of a Muslim has by lifelong habit been a non-Muslim, the penalty of death is not valid. Instead the Muslim murderer must pay a fine and be punished with the lash....Since Islam regards non-Muslims as on a lower level of belief and conviction, if a Muslim kills a non-Muslim then his punishment must not be the retaliatory death, since the faith and conviction he possesses is loftier than that of the man slain...Again, the penalties of a non-Muslim guilty of fornication with a Muslim woman are augmented because, in addition to the crime against morality, social duty and religion, he has committed sacrilege, in that he has disgraced a Muslim and thereby cast scorn upon the Muslims in general, and so must be executed....Islam and its peoples must be above the infidels, and never permit non-Muslims to acquire lordship over them."
Sultanhussein Tabandeh, A Muslim Commentary on the Universal Declaration of Human Rights
Governments deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed - WHAT WE MUST DEFEND:
"That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed..."
Declaration of Independence
WHAT WE MUST DEFEND IT AGAINST:
Non-Muslims have "absolutely no right to seize the reins of power in any part of Gods earth nor to direct the collective affairs of human beings according to their own misconceived doctrines." If they do, "the believers would be under an obligation to do their utmost to dislodge them from political power and to make them live in subservience to the Islamic way of life."
Syed Abul Ala Maududi, founder of the Pakistani political party Jamaat-e-Islami
NEVER SURRENDER. NEVER SUBMIT. NEVER BE SILENCED.
FREEDOM AND INDEPENDENCE FOREVER.

A Shariah (Qur'anic Law) Assault on the US Constitution
SHARIAH RISK DUE DILIGENCE NEWSLETTER
A Project of The Center For Security Policy
April 01 -07, 2008
http://shariahfinan cewatch.wordpres s.com/
The Shariah Risk Due Diligence Campaign - A Project of the Center for Security Policy - Established to defend the U.S. Constitution and to protect our political and religious liberties, which are all under assault by those seeking to legitimize Shariah law (i.e., Islamic law) and its economic tool, Shariah-compliant finance. Shariah law is neither religion nor personal faith, but a theo-political doctrine seeking to dominate and to subvert Western liberties and representative government.
NOTE: This newsletter is not targeting Muslims or the religion of Islam; but rather, the political Islamists who seek to establish Islamic Law as defined by Shariah "scholarly consensus". This newsletter is not referring to the pietistic individual Shariah practiced by patriotic American Muslims.
WHAT IS SHARIAH LAW?
Understanding Shariah law is integral to understanding the dangers of Shariah-compliant finance. Shariah law is Islamic law dating back to the 9th century and is today the law of the land in Saudi Arabia, Iran, Sudan and the law under which the Taliban operates. Recent polls reveal that only 10-15% of Muslims worldwide want to live under this all-encompassing system of Islamic jurisprudence that covers all aspects of a Muslim's life including religious, social, political, and military obligations. However, with a current population of 1.5 billion Muslims, this translates to a huge pool of Jihadist recruits and supporters - a base of approximately 150 - 225 million Muslims.
Shariah law authorities, some of whom are now being paid handsomely by Barclays, Dow Jones, Standard & Poors, HSBC, Citibank, Merrill Lynch, Deutschebank, Goldman Sachs, Morgan Stanley, UBS, Credit Suisse and others have the power to dictate Shariah compliance as deemed by "scholarly consensus" on matters of finance, family, penal law, apostasy, and war. Examples of authoritarian Shariah law include: requirement of women to obtain permission from husbands for daily freedoms; beating of disobedient woman and girls; execution of homosexuals; engagement of polygamy and forced child marriages; the testimony of four male witnesses to prove rape; honor killings of those, principally women, who have dishonored the family; death to apostate Muslims who chose to leave Islam; inferior status of non-Muslims, and capital punishment for those "slander Islam."
FAQs - ISLAMIC FINANCE - WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW:
National Security and Financial Risks: Islamists are attempting to impose Shariah Compliant Finance (SCF) on Western institutions to use our own financial strengths against us. The most serious problem with SCF is that it legitimates and institutionalizes Shariah law (i.e., Islamic law), a theo-political- legal doctrine violently opposed to Western values. With $1 -$2 trillion petrodollars annually looking for an investment home, blind exuberance is driving financial institutions to adopt SCF, without even a minimal baseline for legal compliance. This willful blindness, and lack of both transparency and due diligence may cause SCF to be the next sub-prime crisis, but this time with deadly consequences.
Legal Risks: Western financial institutions which adopt SCF may have criminal and civil exposure to claims of aiding and abetting sedition and the material support of terrorism, securities fraud, consumer fraud, racketeering, and antitrust violations, as well as exposure to tort claims for sedition and terrorism, and for the violation of internationally recognized norms of the law of nations.
Terror Financing Mechanism: SCF as monitored by paid Shariah law advisors to U.S. banking institutions must "purify" certain return on investment (ROI) dollars that do not meet Shariah law standards. This money must be donated to Islamic charities - including some that promote Jihad and support suicide bombing. Investment disclosures state that these profits can be as high as 6% of profits of investments. With $800 billion already in SCF assets, the potential for billions of dollars to be siphoned off for terrorism is real. This would be a serious criminal violation of U.S. law.
Consider this example: Shariah Mutual Funds promote themselves as "ethical funds." To be Shariah-compliant, they donate "tainted" revenues to Shariah-compliant "charities." A post 9-11 U.S. investor in a Shariah-compliant "ethical investment" is not told that Shariah law also requires imposing Shariah as U.S. law, execution of gays and female apartheid. Is he a victim of consumer fraud? Is this same post 9-11 investor unwittingly funding terror? The government has shut down the three largest Shariah-compliant charities in the U.S. - the Holy Land Foundation, Benevolence International Foundation, and the Global Relief Foundation - after proving they funded terrorist organizations.
The American taxpayer deserves answers to these questions. The Center for Security Policy (CSP) is meeting directly with members of Congress, U.S. regulatory agencies and Wall Street financial institutions in order to ensure the enforcement of existing U.S. laws on sedition, disclosure, material support of terrorism, and money-laundering. CSP is committed to revealing the civil liability and criminal exposure of Shariah law and Shariah-compliant finance.
*These Frequently Asked Questions about SCF are updated monthly by the research team at the Shariah Risk Due Diligence Program. FAQ sources, detailed research papers and legal briefs are available on request.
