Do Parents Know What is Jihad in Theier Kid’s School. ?


It
is all jihad….It is in your schools Taqiyya , the perversion of islam

A school cafeteria is turned into a mosque on Fridays.
Here is a bit of the scenario, “School administration take part preparing the
Cafeteria and making it into mosque every Friday and no one but Muslims can use
the Cafeteria during the Islamic prayers on Friday.” Got that? So no children of
the book, kafir kids or infidel kids can use the cafeteria.
Make sure this is not happening where you children
attend school or something similar regarding islam, is not being waged upon your
children. Do you trust your local schools to give your children a ‘well rounded,
open, honest, ETHICAL education’ without bias or whitewashing the truth about
islam?
 Does the school allow EQUAL opportunity for other ‘true religions’ and
not just some garbage like this from a cult like islam, fueled by hatred and
washed in the blood of innocent victims?
How about a school being quietly and subversively
being sold to become an islamic center, the sale kept from the community?
The  sale never being disclosed to the public until the sale was almost completed?

That happened as well as the above.
It is becoming a reoccurring nightmare all
across America and it is called Islamic JIHAD.
Make no mistake about these events.
Jihad is jihad and islam is a lie.
A lie built upon years and years of  deceit, lies, peddled by islam and the imams who troll in their mosques.
One sermon for the kafirs and infidels. Another sermon for the long time brainwashed
slaves of allah who bow down to the pervert and pedophile mohammad.
Read what follows next and then be sure it does not happen near you or to your loved ones.!
 This is islam, sneaky, lying, and full of deceit, persecution and violence. It is coming and it is here. What will you D0 ?

Update: The Toronto District School Board Teaches That
Palestinians did not Celebrate 911.
I received this e-mail from Mark Harding. I phoned
Valley Park Middle School, who in a panic directed me to call the TDSB directly
@ 416-397-3000. The TDSB ”Communications Dept.” is so far incommunicado -they
are away at a meeting.
….
“Islamic ritual prayers are done in my 13 year old
daughter’s middle school on every Friday.
Every Friday my daughter’s school cafeteria changes
into a mosque as dozens of Muslim boys and their imams (Islamic preachers) lead
Islamic ritual prayers and no one else can even walk through the
cafeteria.
Some imams (Islamic preachers) come from the outside
of the school and lead Muslim students in the Islamic prayer and this happens at
the school Cafeteria after the lunch on Fridays.
All other non-Muslims are in
classes in the afternoon when they are using the cafeteria as mosque. There is a
mosque nearby but the Muslim kids pray in the school
School administration take part preparing the
Cafeteria and making it into mosque every Friday and no one but Muslims can use
the Cafeteria during the Islamic prayers on Friday.
And there are a number of other incidents involving
Islam and other anti-Christian issues that I complained about, including a white
convert to Islam who was a supply teacher and who openly promoted Islam and
bashed Christianity last year!”
The school’s name is: Valley Park Middle School, and
the address is:
130 Overlea Boulevard

“Mark, my other two kids also go to a different public
primary school and the snack for all the kids in this primary school is all
“Halal”. My wife complained about it and she was told she can prepare her own
snack for our kids but the school would not drop the Halal menu for all the
students. All the school kids in this primary school have to eat halal snacks
whether they are Muslim or not”
Update: It is confirmed thanks to reader Munimula, the
Valley Park Middle School cafeteria is turned into a mosque and a local Imam is
brought in to lead the children in worshipping Allah:
“Prayer Service, the school is providing a venue for
the Muslim student’s to have prayers at school on Fridays. An Imam from the
neighbouring mosque comes to our school and conducts the prayers. Prior to this,
students signed out early on Friday afternoons to go to mosque. By staying at
school, valuable instructional time is saved for our students.”

Michigan Public
School Sneakily Converted To Islamic Center
As you read this, be mindful that it could just as
easily be your community—and probably will be, eventually.
Farmington, Michigan’s Public School Board of
Education voted unanimously to sell their vacant Eagle Elementary School to the
Islamic Cultural Association (ICA) for $1.1 million. The transaction was kept
secret until the sale was nearly (some say clearly) complete. Many in the
community have decried this as an under-handed sale intended to circumvent the
largely Christian and Jewish residents of the immediate area.
Much of the controversy is the ICA’s association with
the HUDA school of Franklin, Michigan—just a few miles away. The HUDA school was
ultimately denied their expansion which was the intended site for the ICA two
years ago. The HUDA school could not satisfactorily reconcile the charge that
they secretly wanted this new structure, in the charming and historic downtown
area, to be a mosque. They refuted the charge despite the fact that their
website, openly but prematurely, celebrated the soon-to-be new Franklin Village
Islamic Center and Mosque. They also failed to explain why cars regularly fill
their parking lot until the wee hours of the morning in this “children’s”
school, particularly on weekends. Another disturbing issue was their refusal to
reveal the source of their funding which many believe to be Saudi-Wahhabi in
origin. More recently but equally disturbing is he HUDA school’s recent
invitation to the highly controversial and pugnacious anti-Israel Jew, Norman
Finkelstein, to speak at their center in this largely Jewish village. So, when
the ICA again claims that they simply desire to have a community center in the
Farmington school for their children—although few Muslims currently live in this
area—many are incredulous and believe this to be just one more example of
Al-Taqiyya.
Al-Taqiyya is the Islamic equivalent to using deceit,
concealment and “tradecraft” in order to advance the cause of Islam. The Qur’an
(16:106, 3:54, 3:28, 40:28) and the Hadith (49:857, 84:64-65) are replete in spelling out the
circumstances when a Muslim can and should deceive infidels for a greater
purpose. Al-Taqiyya must be appreciated if one is to understand the nature of
nonviolent Jihad. In centuries past, Muslims practiced al-Takiyya as a means of
defense and subterfuge against enemies, such as during the Spanish Inquisition.
Today, radical Islam uses this as a necessary tool that extremists living in
non-Muslim lands (Dar al-Harb) utilize to deceive their unsuspecting compatriots
into believing they are assimilating while they are actually engaging in nonviolent Jihad against
their host societies.
Islamic jurisprudence has sanctioned this

deception in modern times as depicted in confiscated al-Qaeda training manuals.
It is said that
al-Takiyya is “in tongue only, not the heart.”
We must not forget the stated mission of the Muslim
Brotherhood which is to penetrate and conquer the infidel lands, most notably,
America.
Read it all, and recall from our post on this takeover
a few weeks ago, the Muslim Brotherhood is indeed involved in this effort.
Hamas-linked CAIR was pictured in the new story and likely representing the
Muslim organization that got the secretive deal, as we noted here, Michigan Islamic Group Cleared To Take Over Elementary
School:
Judging by the photograph included with this story,
residents have every right to be extremely concerned. The terrorist-linked
Muslim group CAIR
is involved in some way with the school, and that does

not bode well for the area. Check back in five to ten years.

Churches, schools, car dealerships, movie theaters,
Ground Zero. It’s all fair game when the goal is for only Allah to be
worshiped.

Sexual Slavery of Women in Islam


Sexual Slavery of Women in Islam

Islam has a long history of the enslavement of women. Of course, this was never mentioned to me at all. It was always said that a Muslim man can marry up to 4 women but 1 is better and hardly anybody actually did that any more. I never understood that part about “And that which your right hand possesses” but in truth, upon further study, it is quite clear that sexual slavery was practiced by the first Muslims.

There are hundreds of Hadith that deal with slavery and whole chapters of Hadith are dedicated to dealing with the taxation, treatment, sale, and jurisprudence of slaves. In addition to this, many Hadith mention slaves, and their relation to their Muslim masters. Here is a well known example that deals directly with our topic of female slaves used for sexual purposes according to Sahih Bukhari.

Vol. 7-#137 Narrated Abu al-Khudri: “We got female captives in the war booty and we used to do coitus interruptus with them. So we asked Allah’s messenger about it and he said, “Do you really do that?” repeating the question thrice, “There is no soul that is destined to exist but will come into existence, till the Day of Resurrection.””

So, the Muslim warriors took prisoners of war and used them for sexual purposes. Mohamed doesn’t address this at all. He doesn’t say, “Do not have sex with them,” or “Ask for their hand in marriage and if they don’t agree, leave them alone.” Instead he addresses their question which is frankly, “During sex, can we pull out our members before we ejaculate (coitus interruptus) so as to not get them pregnant?” There is no mention of the emotional state of these women. No mercy for the feelings of those who had just seen their men-folk captured or killed and then taken off to a foreign land in which they were inevitably traumatized, scared, and far from everything familiar. Muhammad simply states that there is no reason to not ejaculate inside of them because whatever happens is destiny anyways, i.e. if they get pregnant, so they get pregnant. It’s Allah’s will.

Vol. 5-#459 [This Hadith is similar to the above. However, additional details are added]. Narrated Ibn Muhairiz: “I entered the mosque and saw Abu Khudri and sat beside him and asked him about coitus interruptus. Abu said, “We went out with Allah’s messenger for the Ghazwa (attack upon) Banu Mustaliq and we received captives from among the Arab captives and we desired women and celibacy became hard on us and we loved to do coitus interruptus. So when we intended to do coitus interruptus we said “How can we do coitus interruptus without asking Allah’s messenger while he is present among us?” We asked (him) about it and he said “It is better for you not to do so, for if any soul (till the Day of Resurrection) is predestined to exist, it will exist.””

Related Hadith show that they didn’t want to get the women pregnant because they wanted the option to sell them or negotiate them for a ransom later on. Under Islamic law, they couldn’t sell pregnant female slaves.

In effect, Muhammad Okayed non-consensual sex. Could anyone believe that these women actually wanted to have sex with these men? Everyone always says what a mercy Islam was for woman because it erased the practice of burying girls alive. While that is true, I think that an issue as important as a woman’s choice of sexual partners is also an integral issue that should have been dealt with in a vastly different way.

Vol. 5-#637 Narrated Buraida: The prophet sent Ali to Khalid to bring the Khumus ([one fifth] of the booty) and I hated Ali, and Ali had taken a bath (after a sexual act with a slave girl from the Khumus). I said to Khalid, “Don’t you see this (i.e. Ali)?” When we reached the prophet I mentioned that to him. He said, “O Buraida! Do you hate Ali?” I said, “Yes” He said, “Do you hate him, for he deserves more than that from the Khumus.”

The note for this Hadith says “Buraida hated Ali because he had taken a slave girl frorm the booty and considered that as something not good.”

Here Ali took a newly captured slave girl, and had sex with her. It seems that when Muhammad was told about it, he didn’t have a problem with this, and further stated that Ali deserved more than this.

Vol. 5-#512 Narrated Anas: “…..The prophet had their warriors killed, their offspring and woman taken as captives….”

This Hadith details the attack on the Jews of Khaibar. Again, many of the women and children were taken and made into slaves.

There are hundreds of other Hadith that deal with the topic of slavery in Islam, too numerous to mention. But does the Qur’an deal with the issue of female sexual slavery? Most definitely, and in vivid detail.

Qur’an (33:50) – “O Prophet! We have made lawful to thee thy wives to whom thou hast paid their dowers; and those (slaves) whom thy right hand possesses out of the prisoners of war whom Allah has assigned to thee”

This is a special command that Muhammad handed down to himself, allowing virtually unlimited concubines. Although Muslims are limited to four wives, but they may also have sex with an unlimited number of slaves, as long as they are obtained in Jihad.

Qur’an (23:5-6) – “..who abstain from sex, except with those joined to them in the marriage bond, or (the captives) whom their right hands possess…” This verse allows the slave-owner to have sex with his slaves.

Qur’an (70:27-30)- “And those who are fearful of the punishment of their Lord, indeed, the punishment of their Lord is not that from which one is safe – And those who guard their private parts, Save with their wives and those whom their right hands possess, for thus they are not blameworthy.”

This is a direct reference to concubines taken in Jihad.

Qur’an (4:24) – “And all married women (are forbidden unto you) save those (captives) whom your right hands possess.” So in other words, (once they enter Muslim territory) sex with married slaves is permissible because they were taken in Jihad.

Muslims will constantly say that these verses are taken out of context, but then they will never explain the context to a Western female. Instead they will question your Iman and ask questions regarding your questions which try to make you feel insecure and imply that you are weak, at least that was my experience.

However, Maududi, a respected Islamic writer of Tafseer clearly writes regarding this verse:

Two categories of women have been excluded from the general command of guarding the private parts: (a) wives, (b) women who are legally in one’s possession, i.e. slave-girls. Thus the verse clearly lays down the law that one is allowed to have sexual relation with one’s slave-girl as with one’s wife, the basis being possession and not marriage. If marriage had been the condition, the slave-girl also would have been included among the wives, and there was no need to mention them separately. (Ibid. p. 241, note 7)

According to Mufti Ebrahim Desai, a prominent sheikh of the Marasah In’aamiyyah in Cape Town, South Africa, when asked if female slavery could be implemented in this day and age, he responded with the following:
.

One question that still remains is whether slavery still legally prevails anywhere in the Islamic world and whether it can be successfully implemented in this age…. Firstly, the prisoners have to be captured in ‘Jihaad’ in the true sense of the word.….. According to Islamic Law, captive female prisoners are also part and parcel of the booty. One fifth of the booty has to be first distributed to the needy, orphans, etc. The remaining four-fifths should then be distributed among the soldiers who participated in the war. The distribution can only take effect after the booty is brought into Islamic territory. The Ameerul-Mu’mineen (Head of the Islamic State) remains the guardian of the female prisoners until he allocates them to the soldiers. Only after a soldier has been allotted a slave girl, and made the owner of her, will she become his lawful possession. After she spends a period called ‘Istibraa’, which is the elapse of one menstrual period, it becomes permissible for her owner to have relations with her.[1]

It may be argued that American slave-owners committed sexual crimes against their slaves before the Civil War (1861-1865), so who are Americans to complain about Islam?

In fact, the two situations are different i.e. apples can not be compared to oranges. First, it is wrong to compare the US with the Muslim community founded by Muhammad, who claimed divine inspiration. Instead, it is best to compare the founder of a religion for example Jesus or Buddha with another founder, Muhammad. Second, in no place in the New Testament or in the Diamond Sutras does God give permission to men, to have sex with slave-girls. If Americans in a bygone era did this, then they were simply being immoral, but it was not religiously sanctified. The Quran, however, codifies and legalizes these sexual acts. I just don’t know how any clear-thinking individual can not see that having sex with women in a very desperate condition i.e. being enslaved is wrong.[2]

One might say, but how does this affect you and most women in this day and age? First of all, anything done in Islamic history can be revived at any time, so if Muslims gained power over Western nations, which many have every intention of doing, and practiced Jihad as the followers of Islam actually did, which they are commanded to do, it is plausible that this could happen. Secondly, again, Mohamed was presented to me as a spiritual leader, not a military warlord, so inevitably, a person assessing Islam has to ask himself, “Are these the actions of the person who should be followed and admired for all time?”

When You Talk to Your Friends About Jihad, Try to NOT Scare Them


I was reading one of my Friends http://www.citizenwarrior.com Blog and came to this Well written article so i am posting it here as it was written and reflects my thoughts. I had similar conversation with many Moslim and non Moslim friends on similar grounds.

When You Talk to Your Friends About Jihad, Try to NOT Scare Them 

A FRIEND of mine and I were waiting for an event to end, and we had about 20 minutes with nothing to do. With a smile on my face, I said, “I have an idea! Let’s talk about Islamic jihad! She gave me a look that said, “Please let’s talk about anything but that.” I’ve talked to her about it before.

So I said, “I’ve been meaning to ask you, for research purposes, why don’t you like talking about jihad?”

She said, “It creeps me out.”

“You mean it’s scary?” I asked.

“Yes,” she reluctantly admitted, as if she was embarrassed to say so.

I said, “Well there is some good news. The majority of Muslims ignore the Qur’an’s instructions to subjugate infidels. People are people, and in many places in the world, Muslims did not choose to be Muslims. Somewhere along the line, they lived in a place that was converted to Islam by whatever means, and now they are Muslims, but may have never read the Qur’an in their own language, don’t really know what’s in it, and don’t follow most of the things prescribed in it.

“They are casual Muslims. They’re just living their lives, going about their business, raising their families, and are not interested in taking over the world.”

But at this point, I couldn’t help myself. I said something scary: “Of course, the children of these Muslims are vulnerable to the fundamentalist Muslims who come into town (as they have done in many places) and start saying to the young men, ‘Your parents are hypocrites. They say they are Muslims but they don’t know what’s in the Qur’an and they don’t practice real Islam.’ Young teenagers being what they are, are very open to this message, and already prone to seeing something wrong about their parents, and they are easily recruited to the jihad.”

I then started talking about something a less scary, and we kept talking. But I’d gotten some good information in there, and she might see the news a little differently now, and maybe eventually she’ll get a chance to vote on immigration laws or sedition laws, and she’ll be more informed about what’s at stake.

It’s hard to talk about jihad without being scary, but it’s something we should all work on. Our fellow infidels need to know about this stuff. It is ugly and unnerving, but there are many ways to make it more interesting and less upsetting.

Even though I didn’t really mean it as a technique, when I asked my friend why she didn’t like talking about jihad, she became more open to talking about it. I was at least acknowledging her feelings, and after we talked about it, we both knew each other a little better, and that makes it more comfortable to talk about anything, including jihad.

So that question could be used as a technique when you see someone’s hesitancy about talking about jihad-related things. Ask the person why they don’t like talking about it. This will give them a chance to relax and open up, and it’ll give you some insight into what is going on in the minds of your fellow citizens.

If you have tried to talk to someone about jihad recently, we would love to hear about your experiences, good or bad (leave a comment on this post). One of the best things we can share with each other is what kinds of approaches we have tried that worked well, and what didn’t work very well.

And if you haven’t been talking to anybody about it, try the approach above, and then come back here and tell us about it. We can help each other get better at this. One of the great things about the internet is you can share your personal experience and it can help thousands.

Why I write and Expose Islam & It’s Lies…Part 1


SOME TIMES BY;  SAM HINDU                              

    

 

 

I was born in remote village in Western  India near the sacred city Ambaji, in a poor non practicing brahmin family. There were quite a  few moslims in our village who worked  as tailor, barber and mason, Farmer etc.  But in my very early childhood days I never got chance to meet them or mingle with them.  

  

 One day I went to a weekly market to buy some vegetables with my younger  brother, then i would have been of 7 or 8 years old. There I noticed some unusual crowd  at the some distance from the main bazaar. My younger  brother, whom I was accompnying, hold my finger .We made our way to the street  and I saw a horrible thing, a strong man was butchering a poor lamb which was reeling under pain, and desperately trying to free itself from the grip of butcher.   

 ’Let’s go, said my brother, I thought it would be  a snake charmer, but this was a butcher ?  what he was doing?  Asked my brother who was clearly looking upset, I  unwillingly replied ‘he is a Kasai ( butcher) and it is his profession’. ‘He was whispering some mambo jumbo ! why and what he was mumbling  and Horrible smell from meat and Bones and Blood made both of us feel like we were walking or standing near  Toilet.   

   I bewildered and  laughed, at Butcher that what a fool he was praying to his God, they call their God Allah’ . Why? again I whispered. ‘He is a Moslim and they call their God Allah’ Now keep quite I said  and my  annoyed brother pulled me to go Home.    

At second incident we all kids were playing Top and Gilli Danda and Marble in compound of school and confiding wall of school had some Moslim living or window of  Hall and some ugly-looking man with beard and no mustache wearing just a LUNGI was praying. ( I came to know NAMAZ ) after some time.    

The way he was Banging his head on earth made me  fable grafted and dumb found what the heck he was doing and made us kids laugh at stupid rituals and raising his ass.   

This was my first introduction to a muslim’s cruelty  and barbaric behaviour, those horrible images are still fresh in my mind. At the age of 8, I came to near by Big city  with my parents in search of some better life, here I met people from all walks  of life, there were some muslim friends also. There is a sizeable population of Moslims.    

 I invariably visited homes of my classmates whose parents or grand parents migrated to my city  during partition of India. and met my Best friend whose parents migrated from Pakistan after partition.    

They used to tell us horrible stories, that how women had been raped, children burnt alive men were cut into pieces. Large population was forced to convert to Islam at the pain of death. There are thousands of such muslims in Pakistan who are muslims against their wish, situation in Bangladesh and Kashmir is no different.   

 The present phase of Islamic jihad in India started in 1965, when India faught war with PAKISTAN IN BANGLADESH. In Kashmir. and when  Muhammad’s SO CALLED hair which was preserved in a shrine in Kashmir was stolen, NOW HOW THE HECK THAT HAIR CAME TO KASHMIR IS ANOTHER PROPAGANDA OF MUSLIMS AND IS ANOTHER SUBJECT TO WRITE.    

And some opportunists fueled it further by alleging Indian government of misconduct in electro process. Trained mullahs from pakistan, incited the hatred among locals, warning had been issued against Kashmiri pandits to immediately leave Kashmir, leaving behind their women and belongings. Pundits in Kashmir literally hunted down by the jihadists, their homes vandalised, women were raped, children and men were brutally murdered.   

 America and Britain were smiling on the Indian helplessness, little realising that this menace, will one day reach to their lands.
 In 1992 India got another setback, some ultra nationalists demolished the burned mosque at Ayodhya. This mosque was built by general Mir Banqi by razing the Ram temple in the 15th century. In Mumbai muslims vandalized several shops and killed several Hindus in retaliation, Hindus also counter attacked this madness continued over a month.Obviously muslims were at receiving end this time and  revenge of Hindu and  the rioting  Mumbai underworld took place, which is muslim dominated, carried out at large-scale bombings at Mumbai with the help of pakistan’s ISI.
   

With these  events rioting were became common. Again in 2003 a coach of a train was burnt by muslim fanatics, killing 59 pilgrims including children and women, the whole conspiracy was hatched in pakistan, and the culprits are still in pakistan under the safe patronage of ISI.   

 As was anticipated large rioting broke out in Gujarat claiming more than 2000 lives mostly muslims. To revenge the rioting student islamic movement of India along with Indian mujahideen in collaboration of Lashkar-e- taiba carried out a large-scale bombings over period of two or three years. While all these things happening around, I was busy at my studies, never bothered that why all these things happening.
        
In the last two decades India witnessed so much unnecessary bloodshed, because of Islamic Jihad and there is no hope of respite in the near future. It is not only Hindustan ( Bharat )  India which is feeling heat but Islamic Shit holes  countries like pakistan, Afghanistan, Somalia, Iraq, Iran, Sudan, Ethopia, Uzbekistan, Krygistan etc. are hostage to Islamic Ideology, and people are killing each other absolutely for nothing. 
   

 In november 2008 after Mumbai carnage, i was compelled to come out of my comfort zone, I was more than willing to help my country to come out of this difficult phase. I was considering  ‘all’ the options available to me. But fortunately one day in 1999  I landed on the faith freedom international, after reading extensively I got new perspective about this problem, I learnt first time that it  is not the muslims but the devil ideology Islam is the real culprit. I would like to thank Dr Ali Sina  for correcting my way of thinking, today I find myself in better position to fight this curse ‘Islam’.   

I was the first few who started reading Dr. Ali Sina’s view when he started his web site and I read every word he wrote about Islam and His own Experience as Child and student in Pakistan and then Western world and his understanding of Cult called Islam and Moslim made my mind clear.   

Going back in to memory lane when I migrated to western world back in 1986 to England and during my student years there All the Muslims wanted to come to Europe leaving behind pathetic life and life style and wanted to make better future for their and theirs loved one.    

But once they started getting some sizeable population what I saw was hat instead of better life they were all thinking like real Moslims and wanted to make that beautiful country a shit hole like their mother land.. and that is when I started thinking and questioning motives and    ideology and started questioning and were trying to understand their mentality and inspiration behind zeal.
