The Muslim Youth Nazi Movement (MYN) is spreading throughout Europe at a rapid rate. Many Western nations are learning that the Muslim immigrants are bringing their deep hatred, racist supremacy and anti-semiticism with them when they arrive.
Muslims are converting the indigenous youth of their host nations, not only to Islam but Nazism. Many of these muslim youth are recruiting their members right off the streets, through their vast network of friends and off the internet
One of the primary sources of this hatred seems to be the nation of Turkey although, no muslim nation has been found to be exempt.
Islam and Nazism have a long shared history together, as well as shared ideologies and philosophies.
This is an incredible piece of video taken from an interview between a man and several Dutch Muslim youth. The hatred for Jews expressed by these boys is breathtaking. It never ceases to amaze that being likened to Hitler or Nazis is typically considered insulting and usually represents the end of any rational argument.
Yet, these youths invoke Hitler's name as if he was a hero.
Meanwhile, Geert Wilders (also Dutch) is the one fighting charges of racism and intolerance.

"Few people realize that we are today living through the largest persecution of Christians in history, worse even than the famous attacks under ancient Roman emperors like Diocletian and Nero."
By: Bruce Thornton / Human Events.com
Few people realize that we are today living through the largest persecution of Christians in history, worse even than the famous attacks under ancient Roman emperors like Diocletian and Nero. Estimates of the numbers of Christians under assault range from 100-200 million. According to one estimate, a Christian is martyred every five minutes. And most of this persecution is taking place at the hands of Muslims. Of the top fifty countries persecuting Christians, forty-two have either a Muslim majority or have sizeable Muslim populations.
The extent of this disaster, its origins, and the reasons why it has been met with a shrug by most of the Western media are the topics of Raymond Ibrahim's Crucified Again. Ibrahim is a Shillman Fellow at the David Horowitz Freedom Center and an associate fellow of the Middle East Forum. Fluent in Arabic, he has been tracking what he calls "one of the most dramatic stories" of our time in the reports and witnesses that appear in Arabic newspapers, news shows, and websites, but that rarely get translated into English or picked up by the Western press. What he documents in this meticulously researched and clearly argued book is a human rights disaster of monumental proportions.
In Crucified Again, Ibrahim performs two invaluable functions for educating people about the new "Great Persecution," to use the label of the Roman war against Christians. First, he documents hundreds of specific examples from across the Muslim world. By doing so, he shows the extent of the persecution, and forestalls any claims that it is a marginal problem. Additionally, Ibrahim commemorates the forgotten victims, refusing to allow their suffering to be lost because of the indifference or inattention of the media and government officials.
Second, he provides a cogent explanation for why these attacks are concentrated in Muslim nations. In doing so, he corrects the delusional wishful thinking and apologetic spin that mars much of the current discussion of Islamic-inspired violence.
Ibrahim's copious reports of violence against Christians range across the whole Muslim world, including countries such as Indonesia, which is frequently characterized as "moderate" and "tolerant." Such attacks are so frequent because they result not just from the jihadists that some Westerners dismiss as "extremists," but from mobs of ordinary people, and from government policy and laws that discriminate against Christians. Rather than ad hoc reactions to local grievances, then, these attacks reveal a consistent ideology of hatred and contempt that transcends national, geographical, and ethnic differences.
In Afghanistan, for example, where American blood and treasure liberated Afghans from murderous fanatics, a court order in March 2010 led to the destruction of the last Christian church in that country. In Iraq, also free because of America's sacrifice, half of the Christians have fled; in 2010, Our Lady of Salvation Church in Baghdad was bombed during mass, with fifty-eight killed and hundreds wounded.
In Kuwait, likewise, the beneficiary of American power, the Kuwait City Municipal Council rejected a permit for building a Greek Catholic church. A few years later, a member of parliament said he would submit a law to prohibit all church construction. A delegation of Kuwaitis was then sent to Saudi Arabia––which legally prohibits any Christian worship–– to consult with the Grand Mufti, the highest authority on Islamic law in the birthplace of Islam, the Arabian Peninsula.
The Mufti announced that it is "necessary to destroy all the churches of the region," a statement ignored in the West until Ibrahim reported it. Imagine the media's vehement outrage and condemnation if the Pope in Rome had called for the destruction of all the mosques in Italy. The absence of any Western condemnation or even reaction to the Mufti's statement was stunning. Is there no limit to our tolerance of Islam?
Moreover, it is in Egypt––yet another beneficiary of American money and support–– that the harassment and murder of Christians are particularly intense. Partly this reflects the large number of Coptic Christians, the some sixteen million descendants of the Egyptian Christians who were conquered by Arab armies in 640 A.D. Since the fall of Mubarak, numerous Coptic churches have been attacked by Muslim mobs. Most significant is the destruction of St. George's church in Edfu in September 2011. Illustrating the continuity of mob violence with government policy, the chief of Edfu's intelligence unit was observed directing the mob that destroyed the church. The governor who originally approved the permit to renovate the building went on television to announce that the "Copts made a mistake" in seeking to repair the church, "and had to be punished, and Muslims did nothing but set things right."
The destruction of St. George's precipitated a Christian protest against government-sanctioned violence against Christians and their churches in the Cairo suburb of Maspero in October 2011. As Muslim mobs attacked the demonstrators to shouts of "Allahu Akbar" and "kill the infidels," the soldiers sent to keep order helped the attackers. Snipers fired on demonstrators, and armored vehicles ran over several. Despite the gruesome photographs showing the crushed heads of Copts, the Egyptian military denied the charges, but then claimed that Copts had hijacked the vehicles and ran over their co-religionists.
False media reports of Copts murdering soldiers fed the violence. Twenty-eight Christians were killed and several hundred wounded. In the aftermath, thirty-four Copts were retained, including several who had not even been at the demonstration. Later, two Coptic priests had to stand trial. Meanwhile, despite an abundance of video evidence, the Minister of Justice closed an investigation because of a "lack of identification of the culprits."
The scope of such persecution, the similarity of the attacks, and the attackers' motives, despite national and ethnic differences, and the role of government officials in abetting them, all cry out for explanation. Ibrahim clearly lays out the historical and theological roots of Muslim intolerance in the book's most important chapter, "Lost History." Contrary to the apologists who attribute these attacks to poverty, political oppression, the legacy of colonialism, or the unresolved Israeli-Arab conflict, Ibrahim shows that intolerance of other religions and the use of violence against them reflects traditional Islamic theology and jurisprudence.
First Ibrahim corrects a misconception of history that has abetted this misunderstanding. During the European colonial presence in the Middle East, oppression of Christians and other religious minorities was proscribed. This was also the period in which many Muslims, recognizing how much more powerful the Europeans were than they, began to emulate the political and social mores and institutions of the colonial powers.
Thus they abolished the discriminatory sharia laws that set out how "dhimmis," the Christians and Jews living under Muslim authority, were to be treated. In 1856, for example, the Ottomans under pressure from the European powers issued a decree that said non-Muslims should be treated equally and guaranteed freedom of worship. This roughly century-long period of relative tolerance Ibrahim calls the Christian "Golden Age" in the Middle East.
Unfortunately, as Ibrahim writes, the century-long flourishing of Middle Eastern Christians "has created chronological confusions and intellectual pitfalls for Westerners" who take the "hundred-year lull in persecution" as the norm. In fact, that century was an anomaly, and after World War I, traditional Islamic attitudes and doctrines began to reassert themselves, a movement that accelerated in the 1970s. The result is the disappearance of Christianity in the land of its birth. In 1900, twenty percent of the Middle East was Christian. Today, less than two percent is.
Having corrected our distorted historical perspective, Ibrahim then lays out the justifying doctrines of Islam that have made such persecution possible during the fourteen centuries of Muslim encounters with non-Muslims. The foundations can be found in the Koran, which Muslims take to be the words of God. There "infidels" are defined as "they who say Allah is one of three" or "Allah is the Christ, [Jesus] son of Mary"––that is, explicitly Christian. As such, according to the Koran, they must be eliminated or subjugated. The most significant verse that guides Muslim treatment of Christians and Jews commands Muslims to wage war against infidels until they are conquered, pay tribute, and acknowledge their humiliation and submission.
In the seventh century, the second Caliph, Omar bin al-Khattab, promulgated the "Conditions of Omar" that specified in more detail how Christians should be treated. These conditions proscribe building churches or repairing existing ones, performing religious processions in public, exhibiting crosses, praying near Muslims, proselytizing, and preventing conversion to Islam, in addition to rules governing how Christians dress, comport themselves, and treat Muslims.
"If they refuse this," Omar said, "it is the sword without leniency." These rules have consistently determined treatment of Christians for fourteen centuries, and Muslims regularly cite violations of these rules as the justifying motives for their attacks. As a Saudi Sheikh said recently in a mosque sermon, "If they [Christians] violate these conditions, they have no protection." From Morocco to Indonesia, Christians are attacked and murdered because they allegedly have tried to renovate a church, proselytized among Muslims, or blasphemed against Mohammed––all reasons consistent with Koranic injunctions codified in laws and the curricula of school textbooks.
Both Islamic doctrine and history show the continuity of motive behind today's persecution of Christians. As Ibrahim writes, "The same exact patterns of persecution are evident from one end of the Islamic world to the other––in lands that do not share the same language, race, or culture––that share only Islam." But received wisdom in the West today denies this obvious truth. The reasons for this attitude of denial would fill another book. As Ibrahim points out, the corruption of history in the academy and in elementary school textbooks have replaced historical truth with various melodramas in which Western colonialists and imperialists have oppressed Muslims.
These and other prejudices have led American media outlets to ignore or distort Islamic-inspired violence, as can be seen in the coverage of the Nigerian jihadist movement Boko Haram. These jihadists have publicly announced their aim of cleansing Nigeria of Christians and establishing sharia law, yet Western media coverage consistently ignores this aim and casts the conflict as a "cycle of violence" in which both sides are equally guilty.
As Ibrahim concludes, even when Western media report on violence against Christians, "they employ an arsenal of semantic games, key phrases, convenient omissions, and moral relativism" to promote the anti-Western narrative that "Muslim violence and intolerance are products of anything and everything––poverty, political and historical grievances, or territorial disputes––except Islam."
Within the global Muslim community, there is a civil war between those who want to adapt their faith to the modern world, and those who want to wage war in order to recreate a lost past of Muslim dominance. We do the former no favor by indulging Islam's more unsavory aspects, since those aspects are exactly what need to be changed if Muslims want to enjoy the freedom and prosperity that come from political orders founded on human rights and inclusive tolerance. Raymond Ibrahim's Crucified Again is an invaluable resource for telling the truth that could promote such change.
editorial footnote: There is one truth and that truth is this:
There has never been a persecution of Christians since the dawn of mankind, that comes close to the persecution of today. This persecution comes at the hands of one people: Muslims. This persecution comes at the hands of one religion: Islam.
Every 5 minutes, a Christian is murdered somewhere in the muslim world.. just for being a Christian. This is only done by Muslims. This is only done by Islam. Anyone that tells you different is a liar. Islam is a religion of hatred, intolerance and violence. Anyone that tells you different is a liar. And, that's the truth.

Advanced Placement history students at one Florida school have plenty of course materials on Islam, including 36 pages in the textbook devoted to the religion. But not so much on Christianity or Judaism — and that has one state lawmaker in an uproar.
"The book has a 36-page chapter on Islam but no chapters on Christianity or Judaism," said Rep. Ritch Workman, in Townhall, about the Prentice World History textbook. "It's remarkably one-sided.
Mr. Workman said the textbook, which has been on the Brevard County schools' approved course list for three years, also rewrites the history of Islam. He looked through it and found the authors "make a very obvious attempt not to insult Islam by reshaping history," Townhall reported.
"If you don't see it from the eyes of a parent, kids are going to take this book as gospel and believe that Christians and Jews were murderous barbarians and thank God the Muslims came along and the world is great," he said, as Townhall reported.
Here's an example: Muhammad and his armies' take-over of Medina states depicted "people happily accept[ing of] Islam as their way of life. It leaves out that tens of thousands of Jews and non-believers were massacred by [Muhammad's] armies. It's a blatant deception."
At the same time, the book depicts Jesus as claiming to be the Messiah — but writes as fact that Muhammad was the prophet, Mr. Workman said in the Townhall article. Students in the class are also taught about the Koran and pillars of Islam.
"They don't do that for Christianity," he said, as Townhall reported. "That is offensive to me."
At least one member of the school board is similarly alarmed.
"Some of the descriptions of the battles use the word 'massacre' when it's a Christian battle and 'takeover' when it's a Muslim battle," said Amy Kneessy to Fox News. "In young minds, massacre paints a very different visual picture than a takeover or occupation — when in fact both battles were very bloody."
The publisher, Pearson, denied any bias. But Mr. Workman said he was told by a spokesperson for the publisher that a Muslim cleric was hired to write the sections on Islam.
The Trouble with Textbooks co-author Dennis Ybarra is interviewed by Fox News in a one-hour documentary: "Do Your Know What Textbooks Your Children Are Really Reading?" broadcast September 4-6. Over the past year, the Institute promoted the first ever exposé of anti-Semitism and anti-Israelism in the K-12 textbooks most widely used in Americas schoolrooms. This shocking study, The Trouble with Textbooks, has substantially spurred and influenced the national debate about errors and bias in textbooks, particularly about religion. Recently, Fox News produced a documentary that analyzed all sides of the issue.
This excerpt looks at the textbook publishing industry and examines how pressure groups make use of textbook adoptions in major states to push their agendas, especially when it comes to teaching about the history of the major religions. The Textbook Industry The industry suffers from systemic ills. Textbooks are assumed to contain only facts and truths, yet special interest groups successfully push their agendas in a variety of ways. History textbooks are a primary target. Publishers' reluctance to offend any group results in the dumbing down of textbook lessons to the lowest common denominator.
The textbook industry is dominated by only three companies, making it easier for multiple product lines to be wrong. Textbooks are a big business, with $10 billion in annual industry sales. The textbook customer is not the teacher, but often adoption committees such as in Texas and California, particularly Texas. Millions of dollars are at stake in every adoption in these major states. Mel and Norma Gabler founded Educational Research Analysts of Longview, Texas, one of the oldest pressure groups. Other organizations, of varying ideologies, have followed in their footsteps.
The Role of Islam in U.S. Public Schools Muslims have disproportionate influence on public school curriculum and textbooks. The Council on Islamic Education and other Muslim organizations have successfully lobbied publishers and schools to improve the image of Islam and to present the Israeli-Palestinian conflict only in terms of the Arab narrative. Some examples of the problematic material in textbooks are: • Any connection between Islam and terrorism is expunged. • The concepts of jihad and sharia (Islamic law) have been removed. • The three major monotheistic religions are not treated alike: Judaism and Christianity are qualified and critiqued while Muslim beliefs are taught as historical fact. •One textbook teaches that Jesus was a Palestinian.
Allegations are made that the indoctrination of students through intolerant textbooks is occurring at a Saudi-funded private school in greater Washington, D.C. Should what goes on at the school, which receives no U.S. government funding, be a public concern or not?

Too Blind to See
by, J. Schuyler Montague
With wounds too deep
too deep to heal
flesh that's burnt
skin that's peeled
With eyes too blind
too blind to see
oceans blue
dark destiny
With a broken heart
deep down inside
her misery
she cannot hide
For all her tears
left uncried
they could not flow
even if she tried
No more painted sunsets
no skies of blue
not a sunrise
nor a morning dew
The only visions
she'll ever see
are in her dreams
and memories
This is the Islam.. they don't want you to see.
- dedicated to all of the women that have lost their vision as a result of an acid attack.

Di Khan, Pakistan: A man reportedly killed his daughter and her boyfriend after he found them in a room inside his house in Kathar Yanwalla Mohallah early Saturday morning. A city police official said the father came to the police station following the incident and confessed to his crime. Abdur Rauf Khattak told the city police he woke up to go to the bathroom during the night when he saw a light switched on in one of the rooms. When he entered the room, he saw his 15-year-old daughter Sabina Bibi sitting with an unidentified boy. Seeing this, Khattak got furious and killed them both. Khattak said he suffocated the boy to death using a pillow and strangled his daughter using a rope. The boy was later identified as Asad Abbas, 20. Khattak is currently being held in a lock up at the city police station and a murder case has been registered against him.

Bazzu Uzaman befriended, wooed and married the young girl, only to subject her to abuse; when she tried to extricate herself from the marriage, he abducted her and used his razor blade on her for nine days, leaving a mesh of surface injuries all over her body.
by, Akela / Mid-day.com
Mumbai, India: While many faceless, nameless women are sure to have been through the torment that this 22-year-old girl was subjected to, few have lived to tell the horrifying tales of their ordeal.
Sarita Sharma (name changed) is one of the few lucky survivors who have been to hell and back; after being tortured, abused, abducted by her husband, she was slashed with a blade all over her body, continuously, for nine long days.
Friendship request
According to the police, the accused in the case Bazzu Uzaman Akbar Badshah alias Suka alias Pasha (23) is a resident of Adamjee Jivajee Chawl in Sewri, while Sarita lives in Mulund (West).
Their ill-fated romance began in the virtual world, when Pasha befriended Sarita on Facebook in February, and wooed her aggressively. The young girl fell for his charms, and took a hasty decision that would cost her dearly. Weeks after their online romance had begun, they wed each other at the Bandra family court.
Troubled times
Sarita's conjugal bliss was short-lived. Soon, Pasha bared his uglier, more real side to his wife. She felt the first tremors in the relationship when he started tormenting her over her religion. Her suspicions of having been cheated were confirmed when she discovered that his claims of owning an import-export business were elaborate fabrications. He had also lied about being a graduate, having dropped out of school in Std IX.
Pasha's menacing behaviour was soon extended to Sarita's family, whom he started threatening and abusing. On April 14, a traumatised Sarita finally decided to turn things around, and lodged her first complaint — a non-cognisable (NC) one — in Mulund police station. Discord erupted between the couple, and on May 29, the two divorced, in the presence of a qazi and several relatives. However, the divorce was yet to be formalised in a court of law, and Pasha's abusive ways continued. On June 16, an increasingly despairing Sarita registered her second NC in the police station.
Finding it difficult to accept that the two had parted ways, Pasha started making desperate attempts to meet her. Sarita ignored his overtures. Outraged at the slight, Pasha plotted revenge. On June 17, while Sarita was on her way to Nirmal Lifestyle, Pasha ambushed her and took her to his residence in Sewri, where he held the girl captive for days.
Having ensnared his victim, the diabolical man gave free rein to his sadistic urges, assaulting her with kicks and punches. Any attempts made by Sarita to defend herself infuriated him, and soon he found a new weapon of torment — a razor blade. Over the next nine days, the fiendish man subjected Sarita to unspeakable torment, slashing her all over her body, slashing her face, neck and arms with the blade, leaving a mesh of about 100 surface injuries on her skin. Her agonised screams frightened Pasha, who took her to a private clinic in his vehicle — but not before trying to stage Sarita's suicide.
En route to the clinic, Pasha clicked pictures of Sarita's wounds using his camera phone, and forwarded them to Sarita's sister. He sent an accompanying message, making it sound like Sarita had written it. The SMS gives a clear picture of his intentions, saying: 'Listen don't ever call on this number. Don't show these pictures to jiju [brother-in-law] as well. But show mom and dad. I love you all. Giving my life now. Bye forever. Don't lodge any complaint against anyone. I love you all." Cops investigating the case suspect that this was Pasha's first step in staging his wife's suicide.
Sarita received treatment at the clinic, after which Pasha took her back home to subject her to more violence. Surprisingly, not a single member of the attending staff reported Sarita's tell-all injuries at a police station.
Sarita's ordeal continued. Thinking of new ways of tormenting his partner, Pasha threatened to falsely implicate her in a case under the Maharashtra Control of Organised Crime Act (MCOCA). Her spirits flagging, Sarita started contemplating suicide at this point. Pasha also bullied her into telling her parents not to lodge a complaint against him.
The great escape
An opportunity to flee this private hell presented itself to Sarita on June 26, and desperate for freedom, she seized it. Her first step was to complain to several police authorities through her lawyer Satyam Dubey. On July 3, the police registered an FIR against Pasha and two others. He was arrested and produced at the Mulund court yesterday, where he was remanded to police custody till July 14.
"We have arrested Pasha under a slew of sections of the IPC — 323 (hurt), 324 (hurt by dangerous weapons), 341 (wrongful restraint), 342 (wrongful confinement), 366 (kidnapping, abducting or inducing woman to compel her marriage), 387 (putting person in fear of death or of grievous hurt, in order to commit extortion), 506(2) (criminal intimidation), 34 and sections three and 25 of the Arms Act," said JJ Jadhav, senior inspector, Mulund police station.
History of crime
During interrogations, Pasha confessed that his father is an accused in the 1993 Mumbai blast case. A history sheeter, 16 criminal cases have been registered against him in the past, 13 of them in the RAK Marg police station. Police have recovered three weapons from him. He was in the 'business' of lending money.
"Sarita was brutally thrashed, and attacked with a blade on her face, hand and body," said Dubey.
Sarita, who is still in shock from the trauma of her hellish experiences in captivity, refused to comment on her ordeal.

Someone just attempted to set-up Stewart Rhodes (founder of Oath Keepers) & Dan Johnson (founder of People Against the N.D.A.A) by sending child porn to Dan Johnson's email from a tormail.org anonymous email account, pretending to be Stewart. Clearly, they knew Dan and Stewart work together on anti-NDAA nullification legislation, so they tried to trick Dan into opening the files containing child porn by impersonating Stewart Rhodes. Fortunately, Dan realized it was a tormail email and not actually from Stewart, so he did not open the attached pdfs. PANDA'S internet security expert was able to determine that the files contained child porn without opening them. This attempt to set Dan Johnson up failed.
This attempt is very similar to the July 3 attempt to set up activist Luke Rudkowski, where someone claiming to be a whistle-blower emailed Luke saying he had some incriminating pictures of Bilderberg elites, which Luke was able to see with his "view" function and determine were actually child porn without opening them. Once Luke did a video exposing the attempt, he was contacted by the hackers who bragged that they were going to do the same thing to other alternative media activist leaders. This is something you all need to be aware of, and protect yourselves against. You can expect more of these malicious smear campaign attacks to happen going forward.

This just shows how desperate the powers that be are getting.

In a timely debate, held just 24 hours after the religiously motivated incident in Woolwich, the Union considered the question of the nature of Islam.
Proposition speaker Matthew Handley started the debate by grounding it in recent events, deploring the previous day's "reprehensible act in Woolwich", a sentiment that he was sure would be shared by Muslims around the world.
Handley continued by separating the religion of Islam from the individuals who "violently hijack faith for violent and maniacal ends" and maintained that the Qur'an has an "overwhelmingly peaceful character."
In the light of the "decade long surge of violence and aggression" against Islam since 9/11, he summarised the debate as a choice between "love and hate and rejection, peace and conflict" and concluded: "I hope you make the right choice."
Speaker Anne-Marie Waters, council member of the National Secular Society, began the case for the opposition by denying that she and her fellow opposition speakers cause fear of Islam and blamed instead "the actions of Islam itself".
She listed "9/11, 7/7, Mali, Somalia, gender discrimination, forced marriages, polygamy, amputation", and many more. To the opposition's claim that these acts belong to an "extreme fringe" which has misunderstood the words of the Qur'an, she described the executions for blasphemy and apostasy in Saudi Arabia, and asked "has there ever been a more spectacular misunderstanding?"
Waters concluded by arguing that it is the moderate Muslims who must "dance around meanings" and "stretch interpretations" when confronted with the fundamentally violent ideology of the Qur'an.
Adam Deen, a prominent Muslim intellectual and founder and director of the Deen Institute, countered this by arguing that "if we approach Islamic teaching fairly and objectively, there is a golden thread that runs through whole Qur'an," an ideal of "justice" and "positive peace".
He argued that in fact the whole of Islam is compatible with "just war theory", in which "the virtue of avoiding violence is superseded by the virtue of justice." He then quoted from the Qur'an which states: "Fight in God's cause but do not overstep the limits. God does not love those who overstep the limits."
Daniel Johnston, journalist and editor of what he called the "not very right-wing" magazine Standpoint, called Islam "the most direct threat to Western civilization in the world today".
Johnston deplored the lack of "freedom of speech, freedom of conscience, equal rights, and separation between church and state" in Islamic countries, emphasizing that "all these ideals emerged in the West."
Johnston claimed that a university like Oxford, with its tradition of free academic inquiry, could not exist under the conditions of an Islamic state and that "there is no university in this sense in the Islamic world".
Muslim journalist Mehdi Hasan, political editor of the Huffington Post, warned Anne-Marie Waters that her "astonishing claims" might endanger her future as a Labour Party candidate, but assured her "don't worry, the BNP will take you".
Hasan asked why, if Islam is "responsible for killing," such a tiny percentage of believers actually participate in violence. He asked the audience if they really believe that 1.6 billion people are all "followers, promoters and believers in a religion of violence".
Hasan urged them not to "fuel the arguments of the phobes and bigots and legitimise hate", but to "trust the Muslims that you know and that you hear."
Opposition speaker Peter Atkins, former Professor of Chemistry at Oxford, concluded the debate by describing Islam along with all other religions as a "supermarket of ideas and instructions" from which good and bad men can select what they want "according to their taste."
However, he claimed that Islam "does in practice inspire more violence than the other Abrahamic religions". Taking on Adam Deen's metaphor of a 'golden thread', he argued that "the opposite of peace is woven into the fabric of the Qur'an."
Atkins declared that "all the seas incarnadine cannot wash the blood from a religion's hands", because "when evils destroy a human life, as they did yesterday, that life cannot be restored".
He called on the audience to oppose the motion "for the sake of humanity."

It was spine-chilling for Pakistanis to hear news of the grandfather who killed his daughter and his own grandchildren only for protecting the so-called honour of the family. The crime was that the daughter had married a man of her own choice, and not that of the head of her family. The father was so vindictive he waited five years to take revenge for his 'honour'. He was quite satisfied after taking his revenge on the grand children, who had nothing to do with their mother's decision to marry of her own choice. He didn't stop there either. He also killed two young men, brothers of the groom, as he held them responsible too for dishonouring his prestige.
Ms. Shahnaz Tahir, resident of Tara Singh village in Depalpur, Okara district, Punjab Province, was brutally murdered by her father and his henchmen on the night of 22nd July. Shahnaz had tied the knot with Mr. Tahir Sarwar five years ago. She eloped with Tahir, an action which brought social stigma to her family. His father vowed to kill his daughter, following a practice understood to be traditional.
Tahir, after marriage, left his home town along with his wife and lived in another city due to fear of honor killing. After five years of marriage, they decided to visit their parents, thinking that now their parents would accept them and their innocence. But when daughter and his son-in-law arrived at the house, Shahnaz's father opened fire with weapons, and as a result Shahnaz, her husband Tahir Sarwar, and their two children, Adnan and Ramsha, and their two brothers-in-law, Mr. Zahid and Mr. Nawaz, were all killed. After the massacre Shahnaz's father was satisfied and opted to run away with his henchmen. A case has been filed with the police and, as per usual, the investigation continues.
In the recent months, Pakistan has witnessed brutal murders of several married women in the name of honour and the state has remained a silent spectator to brutal medieval practices. This is despite Pakistan having passed a categorical law, which has made the honour killing equivalent to crime of murder. Earlier such killings were treated as a defensive crime in protection of the prestige of the family.
It is said that the tradition of honour-killing was a typical way out for landlords who did not want to divide their property, in having to give some to the in-laws of the daughter. However, with the passage of time, honour killing has also extended to marriages by choice. Rather than accepting the marriage of their daughters own choosing, the paternal family take it as a dishonor to the pride of the family and prefer to take law in their own hands. Such families know that the rule of law does not exist in Pakistan; therefore, it is better for them to kill the women, with no botheration of the law, which in a real sense has become impotent, toothless.
These types of cases are abundant and occur in every corner of Pakistan every year. The fire of revenge ends with the loss of innocent lives. The reason: marriage of own choice. Hundreds of women have been killed by their brothers, fathers, cousins and other blood relatives for exercising their rights.
A similar case became public knowledge last year when a girl chose a taxi driver as her life partner. Brutal killings were the result when Ms. Nargis from Mardan, Khyber Pakhtunkha province, fell in love with a taxi driver, Mr. Ehtesham. She was tortured to death and her two children were killed by the family in honor killing. When they first found out regarding the relationship, her parents beat her cruelly and kept her locked up inside their house. One day she succeeded in eloping and married Mr. Ethesham. They signed a marriage contract and began leading a happy life. Nargis, after a long time, went to her home town to see her mother. However, she was welcomed by her family with severe anger and violence. Her family members ruthlessly beat her two minor children. Their thirst of revenge not fulfilled, they threw the infants from the roof-top of their home, and Nargis was forced to see her children's murder. After this, she was brutally beaten to death.
But their inhuman revenge didn't end there. A case of murder was lodged by the family of Nargis against her husband. The police arrested Mr. Ethesham and his brother and kept them inside the jail for four months, torturing them. Despite all the records disproving any involvement of Ehtesham in any murder the police forced Ehtesham's brother to sign a statement against his brother, accepting that his brother was a suspect in this case. Later the Judge released Ethesham and his brother and ordered a new inquiry.
Every month many heart-wrenching cases make news, some are registered with the police and others not. The murder of two teenage sisters, Noor Basra and Noor Sheza, by five gunmen in Chilas, Gilgit, is one such case registered. They were killed because they danced during the rain outside their home along with other children and a video was recorded. Their dancing video was leaked in the town. Their half-brother killed the girls for restoration of family honour. A case has been registered by the brother of the girls against their step brother Khutore and four other alleged gunmen.
Similarly, in Dera Gazi Khan, a woman was stoned to death for having a mobile. This order was given by a feudal lord of the area. She was murdered in the name of honor, as having a mobile was understood here to mean dishonor for the family. Such barbaric ideas and actions still flourish in our society and our state and law enforcement departments have no problem with this.
It is an alarming situation for women of Pakistan, where killing of the women along with their children in the name of honor is treated not as an offence, but something in accord with Islamic traditions. Society is being forced to denounce marriage on the basis of choice of the couple. 'Talibanisation' is not only restricted to terrorist activities or bomb blasts. Its ideology against the freedom of women has seeped into society with considerable speed, and practices that have nothing to do with Islam have come to be understood as principals of Islam. Therefore, the woman's right to choose her own life partner is being dealt with medieval violence. Women are being killed in the settlement of family debts, or are being married to aged people, or to save the property are being married to the Quran, or are being sold for money. They are being killed if they raised their voice for their rights, killed if they seek divorce from husbands, or seek to escape domestic violence. And, religion is being used against them.
Honor killings are caused by many factors of society, including feudal culture, customs, absence of a criminal justice system and fair trial, a weak judiciary, and gender bias and corruption in law enforcement agencies.
Landed aristocracy have a great influence in some areas of Pakistan where they hold jirgas (illegal judicial system for the settlement of the disputes). In jirgas, generally, decisions are taken against the women, and minor girls are exchanged to settle feuds.
In the presence of a law which makes it a criminal offence how are honour killings being allows to continue with such violence and brutality. As of yet, no one has been punished according to the law. In the absence of a proper criminal justice system and a witness protection law, the killers get good patronage of the police. By seeking legal protection from Sections 323 of Pakistan Penal Code (PPC); the perpetrators (family member/relatives) not only enjoy legal impunity but social redemption as well. With the compensation through the Diyat (Section 323 of PPC), the perpetrators get impunity by law, which allows the payment of compensation to the victim for the settlement of disputes outside the court. And it is during this phase that the victims, the women, are intimidated, threatened, or abducted so they accept the meager amount as compensation, and courts remain silent spectators.
In many cases, gender biased judges force the affected women to settle the crime outside the courts. The said section of Diyat also holds a minimum compensation of Rupees 30,000, which has no value. But by the amount of compensation being kept at a minimum level, perpetrators take advantage. There is a strong demand from the civil society of Pakistan to abolish Diyat, but the state and higher judiciary take shelter behind Islamic teachings and so-called sacred norms.
If the higher judiciary, and particularly the Supreme Court, does not take notice of honour killings that punish women for choosing their life partners, society will face the worst violence in the name of religion. Courts have to ensure protection of girls under threat. Government must stop all kinds of jirgas.

Tea Party circles in East Tennessee might seem an unlikely environment for launching a Muslim organization. Will Coley, a 31-year-old Tennessee native, Muslim convert and Tea Party activist did just that.
His one person outreach project to Tea Party conservatives and libertarians grew into the first national organization countering Islamophobia on the Right.
Their message: Islam is compatible with an anti-big government or libertarian philosophy. They do not denounce sharia, but defend it within a libertarian framework.
"Our approach is different," says Coley. "We use principles within sharia like maqasid (primary goals) to show their connection with John Locke's principles of life, liberty and property."
Coley claims this strategy makes an impact.
"I have noticed everywhere we go it is about the same," says Coley. "We talk to 50 people. The five to six that pointed the group in an anti-Islam direction still hate us, but the rest start thinking, researching."
Most notably, in 2011 Coley persuaded the majority of Tea Party organizations in East Tennessee to take a stand against Islamophobia.
After speaking with fourteen Tea Party chapters about Muslim beliefs on liberty and sharia (Islamic religious law code), twelve of them agreed to reject anti-Muslim appeals. They even publically supported a petition opposing a proposed "sharia ban" in Tennessee.
Coley's efforts drew the attention of members of the small but growing community of Muslim libertarians, especially after an initial article on the anti-Islamophobia website Loonwatch.com.
Davi Barker, 31, a California journalist, national columnist at Examiner.com and blogger forSilver Circle Underground and Daily Anarchist, first contacted Coley to do a story on him. The two quickly began working closely together. Coley did the public presentations, and Barker writing on their philosophy of Islamic libertarianism. They were soon joined by Hesham El-Meligy, 41, from New England and Ramy Osman, 35, from Virginia.
The last two had started a website called Muslims4Liberty.org, while Coley and Barker had independently started a Facebook group called Muslims For Liberty. They decided to combine forces.
"[W]e started collaboration with them and we became a family immediately," says El-Meligy.
By 2012, Muslims4Liberty/Muslims For Liberty (M4L) has gained hundreds of followers, establishing chapters in Tennessee, California, Ohio, Florida, New York, New Jersey, and Washington, D.C., as well as in Australia, Malaysia and Pakistan.
El-Meligy, drawing on his connections and experience in the Northeast US, led M4L's work with other groups in opposing New York Police Department surveillance of American Muslims. Osman organized M4L's participation in the National Coalition to Protect Civil Freedoms' (NCPCF) "Ramadan Gifts for Prisoners" charity drive. M4L also co-sponsored the only two national debates featuring third party presidential candidates during the 2012 election, hosted by Larry King and broadcast by C-Span and Al Jazeera.
The rapid growth and rise of M4L developed as an entirely grass-roots effort, without the support of more established Muslim or civil rights organizations.
"It started out as just me, basically," says Coley. "[G]oing to events, going to protests, educating people about Islam."
Coley began doing Tea Party outreach in Florida in 2009. He started as an ordinary Tea Party activist, concerned about economics and allegedly growing government power.
But his concern at what he saw as the emergence of Islamophobia in the Tea Party movement spurred him to act.
"I was watching the neocon takeover happen," says Coley. "Literally overnight I saw groups devoted to economics and constitutional limits turn into something else. Suddenly there were invites to see anti-Islam speakers. This crazy anti-Islam message was taking over."
Coley responded by going to events, giving speeches and presentations, and challenging alleged anti-Muslim speakers.
The libertarian talk show host Phil Russo invited him onto his show as a guest. When Russo's co-host quit in protest, he invited Coley to become his new co-host.
Coley also found other allies. "[W]e had republican candidates serving the homeless at Masjid al-Haqq," says Coley adding that he "got A LOT of help from non-Muslims."
At this time, Coley's work was entirely solo. Other Muslims had a "you go and then tell us how it went when you get back" attitude, says Coley. "An event would be me inviting everyone I know, and then myself, my wife, and our 5 month old….500 people there, 3 Muslims."
Things changed in 2011, when Coley moved his family to his home state of Tennessee. "I wanted to raise my family here, not in big city Orlando," says Coley.
He also began doing outreach to local Tea Party groups. His original intention was to focus on educational basics about Muslim belief and practice, such as the Five Pillars and the Qur'an, as well as Muslim artwork.
The sudden announcement in the press of anti-sharia legislation in the Tennessee House and Senate changed everything.
"[We] changed the format of the Islam Awareness lectures at the library. Since sharia had become the issue, we decided to devote each week to covering a different area or aspect ofsharia," says Coley. "We invited two Tea Party groups. One cursed at me, called me names and said I was Muslim and therefore they had no interest in speaking to me or hearing anything my 'lying mouth' had to say. The other invited other Tea Party groups."
"After the lectures, these Tea Party groups took our information home with them. We offered paper, pens, and wrote notes on the board. Then there was a meeting of all the East Tennessee tea party groups, fourteen in all, and they had a vote. 12/2 was the vote, to abandon attacking Islam as a tactic."
The rise of an American Muslim libertarian movement is not surprising to Anthony Gregory, 31, a leading antiwar libertarian, policy analyst and commentator.
"Islam has long had a deep respect for commerce, having been founded by a merchant, as well as many voices calling for peace and limits upon political power as demanded by natural law and natural rights," says Gregory.
Asked whether it is really worthwhile to do Muslim outreach to right of center circles, where suspicion of Islam and Muslims has been alleged to be most prominent, El-Meligy responds,
"No one is conservative on everything and no one is liberal on everything, we are but a rainbow, within ourselves and on our planet, so let's make it better for everyone."

As thousands of radical jihadis have moved from abroad into Syria and the Sinai Peninsula, and joined radicalized local fighters to create the largest pro-al-Qaeda presence in the region, Israel is perfecting its ability to neutralize targets as quickly as possible.
As al-Qaeda-affiliated radical forces pour into areas bordering Israel's north and south, the Israeli defense establishment is adjusting itself to prepare for a new, post "Arab spring" reality.
According to Israeli security assessments, thousands of radical jihadis have moved into Syria from abroad, and joined radicalized local fighters to create the largest pro-al-Qaeda presence in the region.
The concern now is that Syria will act a springboard for jihad [holy war in the service of Islam] and that terrorists will move from Syria to nearby states — Lebanon, Jordan, and the Sinai Peninsula in Egypt — to create zones of extremism and violence.
This trend has already begun to take shape in Syria's neighbor, Iraq, where, since the spring months, thousands of people have been murdered in bombings and shootings in resurgent al-Qaeda attacks, mainly on Shi'ite targets.
The newly empowered Iraqi al-Qaeda elements are tied to Syria's largest al-Qaeda-affiliated group, the Al Nusra Front.
If or when the regime of Bashar Assad crumbles and these rebels seize Damascus, Israel and the US would immediately have to answer the question of how to secure Syria's enormous chemical weapons arsenal. Allowing those and other weapons to fall into radical hands is unthinkable.
Meanwhile, to Israel's south, thousands of jihadi fighters have turned the Sinai Peninsula into a terrorist base. The Egyptian military, although occupied with efforts to stabilize Cairo, Alexandria, and other cities, has internalized the scope of the new threat in Sinai, and is busy preparing a large counter-terrorism offensive to rein in the radicals. Israeli Defense Minister Moshe Ya'alon said Egypt will likely launch the operation in the near future, and that it will proceed for a long period of time.
Despite increased Egyptian counter-terrorism efforts, senior Israel Defense Force [IDF] officials have stated that they expect the terrorists in Sinai sooner or later to attack Israel again.
These attacks could take two forms. First, they could fire rockets at Israeli population centers, such as the Red Sea resort city of Eilat, which relies heavily on tourism, and is located a stone's throw from the Sinai Peninsula.
Eilat has been already been targeted several times in recent years by Sinai terrorists firing rockets; the IDF recently mobilized an Iron Dome anti-rocket battery near the city to protect it from future rocket threats.
The second type of threat involves a ground raid by cells of terrorists armed with bombs, shoulder-held rockets, and automatic weapons, and with a view to penetrating the Israeli frontier and striking either a high-value target or a civilian population center inside the country.
Due to the increase in regional jihadi activity, as time goes by the chance of such incidents increases.
The IDF, not resting on its laurels, has put into action a large-scale plan to prepare Israel's northern and southern borders for the new threats they face.
On both borders, fences with sophisticated electronic sensors have been erected. Infantry brigades are being mobilized for border patrols in growing numbers. And commanders have increased the number of Artillery Corps and Armored Corps units.
As a direct response to the rising threat, the IDF held its largest Paratroopers Brigade exercise this week, in which, to practice mobilizing large forces behind enemy lines at a moment's notice, a thousand soldiers parachuted at night from Hercules transport planes to the ground. After landing, the paratroopers practiced how to form quickly into battalions, link up at staging grounds and launch assaults on enemy targets.
A senior IDF source said the exercise was taking place because "the enemies around us are gathering near our borders." He described the ability to parachute a thousand paratroopers behind enemy lines as a "huge advantage."
Col. Eliezer Toledano, Commander of the Paratroopers Brigade, said, "Many eyes are watching us in this drill: The eyes of the Israeli people, who must know that when Israel decides to, it can send 1,000 combat soldiers deep into enemy territory at a moment's notice; the eyes of IDF senior command, who knows it needs only mark the spot, and we'll already be there; and the eyes of our enemies, who will know that any moment, more than 1,000 paratroopers keen for battle will spit fire behind their lines."
Additionally, the IDF is working hard on gaining improved intelligence pictures of what is occurring beyond the northern and borders – an effort that includes the setting up of new field surveillance unit.
Throughout, the IDF is perfecting its ability to identify and neutralize targets as quickly as possible, by employing accurate firepower from a range of platforms.
In a region which is facing its most uncertain phase in decades, Israel is taking every possible step to ensure it is ready for anything.

JERUSALEM, Israel – With the news media now profiling New York City mayoral candidate Anthony Weiner's wife, there is a glaring part of Huma Abedin's personal story that is not being told – her ties to the Muslim Brotherhood and other Islamic supremacists.
The connections not only extend to her mother and father, who are both deeply tied to al-Qaida fronts, but to Abedin herself, as WND previously reported in a series of exposes.
Abedin's purported forgiveness of Weiner's extramarital sexting is regarded as central to the politician's continued candidacy.
The New York Times claimed Abedin was "eager to end a difficult period of social exile" and "a main architect of her husband's rehabilitative journey, shaping his calculated comeback."
Abedin has played a visible role in Weiner's campaign and has been instrumental the effort to portray her husband as rehabilitated, leading to significant backlash from critics.
Some are claiming Abedin is trying to follow in the footsteps of Hillary Clinton, whose loyalty to her husband during the Monica Lewinsky scandal increased her popularity and was credited with helping to launch her political career.
Abedin served as Clinton's longtime chief of staff, with the two working closely together for nearly 20 years.
Elspeth Reeve of the Atlantic wrote: "As the many glowing profiles of Huma Abedin in recent months have noted, she learned a lot working as Hillary Clinton's right-hand woman since the 1990s.
"But maybe the biggest lesson Abedin learned was not just how to help her husband survive a sex scandal, but how to launch her own political career," she wrote.
Media strategist Adam Weiss said in the New York Post: "Huma comes from the Clinton school of forgiveness – power is more important than dignity."
Politico's Hadas Gold said Abedin "has critics saying the long-time Hillary Clinton aide might just be taking a page out her boss's playbook for her own future benefit."
Transforming America
Major news media profiles of Abedin, meanwhile, report she was born of Pakistani and Indian parents, without delving much further into her family's history.
As WND reported last August, a manifesto commissioned by the ruling Saudi Arabian monarchy places the work of an institute that employed Abedin at the forefront of a grand plan to mobilize U.S. Muslim minorities to transform America into a Saudi-style Islamic state, according to Arabic-language researcher Walid Shoebat.
Abedin was an assistant editor for a dozen years for the Journal of Muslim Minority Affairs for the Institute for Muslim Minority Affairs. The institute – founded by her late father and currently directed by her mother – is backed by the Muslim World League, an Islamic organization in the Saudi holy city of Mecca that was founded by Muslim Brotherhood leaders.
The 2002 Saudi manifesto shows that "Muslim Minority Affairs" – the mobilizing of Muslim communities in the U.S. to spread Islam instead of assimilating into the population – is a key strategy in an ongoing effort to establish Islamic rule in America and a global Shariah, or Islamic law, "in our modern times."
WND reported Abedin also was a member of the executive board of the Muslim Student Association, which was identified as a Muslim Brotherhood front group in a 1991 document introduced into evidence during the terror-financing trial of the Texas-based Holy Land Foundation.
At her father's Saudi-financed Islamic think tank, WND reported, Abedin worked alongside Abdullah Omar Naseef, who is accused of financing al-Qaida fronts.
Naseef is deeply connected to the Abedin family.
WND was first to report Huma's mother, Saleha Abedin, was the official representative of Naseef's terror-stained Muslim World League in the 1990s.
Shoebat previously reported that as one of 63 leaders of the Muslim Sisterhood, the de facto female version of the Muslim Brotherhood, Saleha Abedin served alongside Najla Ali Mahmoud, the wife of Muslim Brotherhood figure Mohammed Morsi, Egypt's now ousted president.
Saleha Abedin and Mursi's wife both were members of the Sisterhood's Guidance Bureau, Shoebat found.
Huma worked with al-Qaida front man
Abdullah Omar Naseef is secretary-general of the Muslim World League, an Islamic charity known to have spawned terrorist groups, including one declared by the U.S. government to be an official al-Qaida front.
The institute founded by Huma Abedin's father reportedly was a quiet, but active, supporter of Naseef.
The institute bills itself as "the only scholarly institution dedicated to the systematic study of Muslim communities in non-Muslim societies around the world."
Huma served on the Journal of Muslim Minority Affairs's editorial board from 2002 to 2008.
Documents obtained by Shoebat revealed that Naseef served on the board with Huma from at least December 2002 to December 2003.
Naseef's sudden departure from the board in December 2003 coincides with the time at which various charities led by Naseef's Muslim World League were declared illegal terrorism fronts worldwide, including by the U.S. and U.N.
The MWL, founded in Mecca in 1962, bills itself as one of the largest Islamic non-governmental organizations.
But according to U.S. government documents and testimony from the charity's own officials, it is heavily financed by the Saudi government.
The MWL has been accused of terrorist ties, as have its various offshoots, including the International Islamic Relief Organization, or IIRO, and Al Haramain, which was declared by the U.S. and U.N. as a terror financing front.
Indeed, the Treasury Department, in a September 2004 press release, alleged Al Haramain had "direct links" with Osama bin Laden. The group is now banned worldwide by U.N. Security Council Committee resolution 1267.
There long have been accusations that the IIRO and MWL also repeatedly funded al-Qaida.
In 1993, bin Laden reportedly told an associate that the MWL was one of his three most important charity fronts.
An Anti-Defamation League profile of the MWL accuses the group of promulgating a "fundamentalist interpretation of Islam around the world through a large network of charities and affiliated organizations."
"Its ideological backbone is based on an extremist interpretation of Islam," the profile states, "and several of its affiliated groups and individuals have been linked to terror-related activity."
In 2003, U.S. News and World Report documented that accompanying the MWL's donations, invariably, are "a blizzard of Wahhabist literature."
"Critics argue that Wahhabism's more extreme preachings – mistrust of infidels, branding of rival sects as apostates and emphasis on violent jihad –laid the groundwork for terrorist groups around the world," the report continued.
An Egyptian-American cab driver, Ihab Mohamed Ali Nawawi, was arrested in Florida in 1990 on accusations he was an al-Qaida sleeper agent and a former personal pilot to bin Laden. At the time he was accused of serving bin Laden, he also reportedly worked for the Pakistani branch of the MWL.
The MWL in 1988 founded the Al Haramain Islamic Foundation, developing chapters in about 50 countries, including for a time in Oregon until it was designated a terrorist organization.
In the early 1990s, evidence began to grow that the foundation was funding Islamist militants in Somalia and Bosnia, and a 1996 CIA report detailed its Bosnian militant ties.
The U.S. Treasury designated Al Haramain's offices in Kenya and Tanzania as sponsors of terrorism for their role in planning and funding the 1998 bombings of two American embassies in East Africa. The Comoros Islands office was also designated because it "was used as a staging area and exfiltration route for the perpetrators of the 1998 bombings."
The New York Times reported in 2003 that Al Haramain had provided funds to the Indonesian terrorist group Jemaah Islamiyah, which was responsible for the 2002 Bali bombings that killed 202 people. The Indonesia office was later designated a terrorist entity by the Treasury.
In February 2004, the U.S. Treasury Department froze all Al Haramain's financial assets pending an investigation, leading the Saudi government to disband the charity and fold it into another group, the Saudi National Commission for Relief and Charity Work Abroad.
In September 2004, the U.S. designated Al-Haramain a terrorist organization.
In June 2008, the Treasury Department applied the terrorist designation to the entire Al-Haramain organization worldwide
Bin Laden's brother-in-law
In August 2006, the Treasury Department also designated the Philippine and Indonesian branch offices of the MWL-founded IIRO as terrorist entities "for facilitating fundraising for al-Qaida and affiliated terrorist groups."
The Treasury Department added: "Abd Al Hamid Sulaiman Al-Mujil, a high-ranking IIRO official [executive director of its Eastern Province Branch] in Saudi Arabia, has used his position to bankroll the al-Qaida network in Southeast Asia. Al-Mujil has a long record of supporting Islamic militant groups, and he has maintained a cell of regular financial donors in the Middle East who support extremist causes."
In the 1980s, Mohammed Jamal Khalifa, Osama bin Laden's brother-in-law, ran the Philippines offices of the IIRO. Khalifa has been linked to Manila-based plots to target the pope and U.S. airlines.
The IIRO has also been accused of funding Hamas, Algerian radicals, Afghanistan militant bases and the Egyptian terror group Al-Gamaa al-Islamiyya.
The New York Post reported the families of the 9/11 victims filed a lawsuit against IIRO and other Muslim organizations for having "played key roles in laundering of funds to the terrorists in the 1998 African embassy bombings" and for having been involved in the "financing and 'aiding and abetting' of terrorists in the 1993 World Trade Center bombing."
'Saudi government front'
In a court case in Canada, Arafat El-Asahi, the Canadian director of both the IIRO and the MWL, admitted the charities are near entities of the Saudi government.
Stated El-Asahi: "The Muslim World League, which is the mother of IIRO, is a fully government-funded organization. In other words, I work for the government of Saudi Arabia. I am an employee of that government.
"Second, the IIRO is the relief branch of that organization, which means that we are controlled in all our activities and plans by the government of Saudi Arabia. Keep that in mind, please," he said.
Despite its offshoots being implicated in terror financing, the U.S. government never designated the MWL itself as a terror-financing charity. Many have speculated the U.S. has been trying to not embarrass the Saudi government.
Huma's mother represented Muslim World League
Saleha Abedin has been quoted in numerous press accounts as both representing the MWL and serving as a delegate for the charity.
In 1995, for example, the Washington Times reported on a United Nations-arranged women's conference in Beijing that called on governments throughout the world to give women statistical equality with men in the workplace.
The report quoted Saleha Abedin, who attended the conference as a delegate, as "also representing the Muslim World League based in Saudi Arabia and the Muslim NGO Caucus."
The U.N.'s website references a report in the run-up to the Beijing conference that also lists Abedin as representing the MWL at the event.
The website posted an article from the now defunct United States Information Agency quoting Abedin and reporting she attended the Beijing conference as "a delegate of the Muslim World League and member of the Muslim Women's NGO caucus."
In the article, Abedin was listed under a shorter name, "Dr. Saleha Mahmoud, director of the Institute of Muslim Minority Affairs."
WND has confirmed the individual listed is Huma Abedin's mother. The reports misspelled part of Abedin's name. Her full professional name is at times listed as Saleha Mahmood Abedin S.
Hillary praise
Saleha Mahmood at which she helped to create. She formerly directed the Institute of Muslim Minority Affairs in the U.K. and served as a delegate for the Muslim World League, an Islamic fundamentalist group Osama bin Laden reportedly told an associate was one of his most important charity fronts.
In February 2010, Clinton spoke at Dar Al-Hekma College in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, where Abedin is an associate professor of sociology.
Clinton, after she was introduced by Abedin, praised the work of the terror-tied professor.
"I have to say a special word about Dr. Saleha Abedin," Clinton said. "You heard her present the very exciting partnerships that have been pioneered between colleges and universities in the United States and this college. And it is pioneering work to create these kinds of relationships.
"But I have to confess something that Dr. Abedin did not," Clinton continued, "and that is that I have almost a familial bond with this college. Dr. Abedin's daughter, one of her three daughters, is my deputy chief of staff, Huma Abedin, who started to work for me when she was a student at George Washington University in Washington, D.C."
In an extraordinary interview Walid exposes Huma Abedin, the wife of the disgraced Congressman Anthony Weiner as a potential infiltrator in the State Department who has access to sensitive information.
This is a fantastic interview with Michael Savage, and goes into detail to the depths of deception of the stealth Jihad that we face as a nation. The age of the "war against terror" is not as big a threat because we are very vigilant in this area however the threat from a Islamic fifth column infiltrating our government, military, FBI, CIA and all areas of power in order to destroy us from within is full at hand, yet our main stream media and our government are oblivious to this threat and we have no vigilance to counteract this. As far as we know we are the only organization that is doing research on real time cases to warn America of this very big problem, much bigger than anyone can imagine.

NEW DELHI, INDIA (BosNewsLife)– Four young students at an evangelical missionary school in eastern India are recovering from their injuries after they were gang-raped in what locals called "another chilling reminder" of how unsafe the area has become for schoolgirls and minority Christians, BosNewsLife learned Tuesday, July 23. The girls, between the ages of 12 and 14, were abducted and raped after some 25 masked men carrying knives broke into the residential school of the Evangelical Church of India in Labda village in India's eastern state of Jharkhand, church sources confirmed.The victims, whose names were not immediately revealed, were rushed to hospital following the July 14 incident, reported Catholic news agency Fides.
They were reportedly among some 135 students enrolled on a vocational course at the Christian school, 60 of whom are minors. Most of them, including the girls, come from impoverished tribal families or other marginalized groups in India's predominantly Hindusociety.
Indian media said the school does not have a security system in place and its isolated, hilly position, made it an easy target for the intrusion. The attackers reportedly tied up and gagged four teachers who were on the school grounds at the time before abducting the four girls of the Pahariya tribal group. They were then taken away and raped for two hours and released at 1 am local time on July 15, Christians said. The girls were sent to the regional Pakur Sadar hospital for medical examination where doctors described their condition as "serious but stable".
In a statement local police said no efforts would be spared to detain suspects. "It is a gruesome crime. Raids are on to nab the culprits," said regional superintendent of police Y.S. Ramesh in published remarks. It is the first major crime case for Ramesh who took over as superintendent of Jharkhand's Pakur District police after his predecessor Amarjit Balihar was killed this month by suspected Maoist rebels. The violence comes shortly after two other 13-year-old girls, both students and daughters of policemen, were found dead in May in a pond in the city of Jasidih following a reported gang-rape attack.
"The main problem is impunity. The preferred victims are girls from tribal, [the low Hindu caste] Dalit or [other] marginalized communities," said Faustine Lobo, Director of India's Pontifical Mission Society in a statement distributed by Fides.
"These groups are vulnerable, weak, they have very little social and political influence and are often defenseless," the priest added.Christianity has been spreading among impoverished tribal groups, missionary groups say. The reported gang rape came as another setback for the Evangelical Church of India, which has congregations in at least ten Indian states and provides education and other social aid to impoverished groups, amid opposition from Hindu hardliners and other groups.Priest Lobo linked the phenomenon of rape and other attacks to a corrupt and "inefficient legal and political system." "Current laws would be useful in preventing and punishing such crimes if they were actually applied, but they are not. This is mainly because of the corruption that exists among police officers or administration officials who cover up these cases," he claimed."It is a despicable crime which demeans women's dignity which we, as Christians, have always upheld," the priest said.
