Jihad Defined & Exemplified
this 20 page pdf contains the dirty details of the damnable doctrine. See how Jihad is defined by Hilali & Khan in their footnote to 2.190 in Surah Al-baqarah.
See how Jihad is defined by Reliance of the Traveller. See how Jihad is exemplified in authentic ahadith. follow links to the Jihad books of Sahih Bukhari, Sahih Muslim, Sunan Abu Dawuid, Malik's Muwatta, Tirmidhi, Riyad us-Sa;ojeem. Sumam Obm Majah and Sunan an-Nasai.
What is the ostensible purpose of Jihad? What is its real purpose? What does terror have to do with it? Who did Moe pray to and what did he pray for? Find the answers in this dissection of the damnable doctrine of Jihad!!!
CAIR Spokesman Ibrahim Hooper Spews al-Taqiyya and Kitman, Denigrating Christ
Ibrahim Hooper of CAIR spewed malignant malarkey, asserting falsely that Muslims love Jesus Christ. He cherry picked Qur'an verses which superficially make his case of common ground. But the common ground turns to quicksand when we delve more deeply into Islam's canon.
The Qur"an denies Christ's paternity & deity in 1930…34 and his crucifixion, death and resurrection in 4.157. Authentic hadith depict him as inferior to Moe in Sahih Bukhari 6.60.3 and as a genocidal warlord who will eliminate the remaining Jews and Christians in Sahih Bukhari 4.55.653 & Sunan Abu Dawud 37.4310. For greater clarity, see Tafsir Ibn Kathir: "Eternal Humiliation placed on the Jews" For full documentation, see: "The Defamation Of Jesus Christ".
Allah explicitly forbids Muslims from being on friendly or equal terms with Christians: 5.51, 9.33; they can not be our friends and Islam must be dominant.
The Qur'an curses us: 2:161, 9.30. Allah calls us "the worst of living creatures" 8.22. 98.6. Every time they pray, Muslims recite Surah Al-Fatiuha, reminding Allah why he should burn us.
Allah commands Muslims to wage war against us until we are subjugated, acknowledge the superiority of Islam and make annual extortion payments: 9.29,. which is confirmed by Sahih Bukhari 1.8.387 and codified in Shari'ah as The Reliance Of The Traveller O9.9.
Muslims are commanded not to greet us first and to force us to the narrowest part of the road. They are commanded to pray for Moe in 33.56 because he was a sinner who did not know "what Allah will do with me". When Muslims append PBUH to the Profit's title, they are praying that Allah will lessen the torments of the grave for Moe. [For the grisly details, see Mishkat ul-Misabih] When Muslims say "Jesus, PBUH" they are denigrating him, equating him to a sinner who is being tormented in his grave whereas the sinless Christ's tomb is empty.
Hooper does not directly assert that Jesus is a Muslim, but he quotes a hadith that implies it. I have added emphasis to make two phrases stand out.

The Prophets are paternal brothers: they have a common father; Moe is claiming to be Christ's half brother; remember that Islam denies Christ's paternity. Born 530 years apart, they could not share a human father. Islam and Christianity are not identical, they are not even close. Islam is a predatory way of life which preys upon the rest of the human race. The original religion of Islam is Jihad.
What sort of Prophet would claim that God married him to the mother of his half-brother? What sort of Prophet would be married to the Mother of Jesus?
departure to the eternal world, the Prophet visited her and said, "To me it is a heavy
burden to see you thus, but when you reach your place in Paradise give your companions
my salutation."
"Who are they?" she inquired. He replied, "Maryam, daughter of Imran, Kulthum, sister of
Musa, Asiya wife of Firon, all of whom, with yourself, will be my wives in Paradise." "May
the union be blessed," added Khadija. [Hayat al-Qulub, pg. 415 http://www.al-islam.org/printpdf/book/export/html/19336]
The claim that Jesus is Muslim falls flat on its face when we see that Moe was the first Muslim: 6.14, 39.12, Lest any lingering doubt remain, compare the orders given by Jesus and Moe in case of rejection :
- And whosoever shall not receive you, nor hear your words, when ye depart out of that house or city, shake off the dust of your feet.Mt 10.14
- If they refuse to accept Islam, demand from them the Jizya. If they agree to pay, accept it from them and hold off your hands. If they refuse to pay the tax, seek Allah's help and fight them. Sahih Muslim 19.4294
everyone shall have the right to freedom of thought,conscience and religion
A/C.3/68/L.48 Combating intolerance, negative stereotyping,stigmatization, discrimination, incitement to violence and violence against persons, based on religion or belief continues with reaffirmation of an egregious error.
provides, inter alia, that everyone shall have the right to freedom of thought,
conscience and religion or belief, which shall include freedom to have or to adopt a
religion or belief of one's choice and freedom, either alone or in community with
others and in public or private, to manifest one's religion or belief in worship,
observance, practice and teaching,
The supposed right is stated without any consideration of content & consequence. Islam is inseverable, an all or nothing bundled package. Muslims are not empowered to select the bits they like and reject the rest. Observe the clear text of Surah Al-Baqarah 2.85.
Muslims are required to obey Allah and his Messenger; to emulate Moe.
33:21. Indeed in the Messenger of Allâh (Muhammad ) you have a good example to follow for him who hopes in (the Meeting with) Allâh and the Last Day and remembers Allâh much.
Allah requires Muslims to wage perpetual offensive warfare against Pagans, until only Allah is worshiped on a global scale; against Jews, Christians and Zoroastrians until they are subjugated and pay extortion. Those Jihad obligations are fard al-kifaya: binding on all eligible male Muslims until a sufficient number have reported to the battle front. To obtain a clue, Read Shari'ah: The Reliance Of The Traveller, Book O, Chapter 9 from section 0 through section 14.
Lest there be any lingering doubt that Jihad is permanent; continuous and undertaken offensively, on Islamic initiative, read pages 140-141 of the second volume of Hedaya, which is the Hanifi school's handbook of fiqh.
Allah requires Muslims to engage in genocide: "great slaughter" otherwise expressed as "killed and wounded many of them" and Moe exemplified it, slaughtering several hundred men and boys who had surrendered.
Allah requires Muslims to engage in terrorism: to administer harsh treatment to defeated victims to strike terror into prospective victims and to maximize military power to terrify them. Allah rewards terrorists for any act performed to injure or enrage disbelievers. Moe was made victorious with terror.
Normative Islam entails terrorist, genocidal imperialism and its practice is incomplete without them. If Muslims abandon Jihad, Allah will curse them with disgrace, not lifting it until they return to their 'original religion'.

While the greater part of the video is true and
easily verifiable, it ends with two egregious errors. Imran
Firasat allowed his optimism to overcome rational thought.
Islam is incapable of reform because it is
absolutist, presented as perfected and immutable. You can not improve perfection.
Jihad can not be removed from the Islamic doctrine
set. While Muslims are Muslims, we can not live in peace with
them. We can live in peace with apostates or dead Muslims, but
not with living Muslims who believe in and attempt to implement Allah's
imperatives, threat & promise.

The most authentic traditions concerning Jihad are
found in Sahih Bukhari's Books of Jihad, Khumus & Expedition. The placards boasting of world
domination have their origin in three of Ibn Kathir's Tafsirs:

We Are Prey; Its Open Season: Get rid of the Predators!
Bare Naked Islam posted a most revealing video,
one that must be heard to be appreciated. In this video, Yasir Qadhi
lays bare the evil core of Islam, which, fully exposed, can be
recognized as pure evil. Listen carefully to what he said,
contemplate it carefully, and contumaciously demand the
eradication of Islam from the face of the earth.
This exposure of normative Islamic doctrine flows
from the lips of the Imam of a mosque in Memphis, Tn. His accent and
the poor audio quality make listening difficult. I pulled a
transcript, which appears to be the product of speech to text software
so I will attempt to correct it as much as I can.
Full comprehension of what the Imam is preaching
will not come without reference to the canonical Islamic texts he is
teaching from. I will display the quotes he uses with links to
source texts. Note the highlighted clauses running parallel to
those in the transcript below.
Narrated Abu Huraira:
Allah 's Apostle said, " I have been ordered to fight with the people
till they say, 'None has the right to be
worshipped but Allah,' and whoever says,
'None has the right to be worshipped but Allah,' his life and property
will be saved by me except for Islamic law, and his accounts
will be with Allah, (either to punish him or to forgive him.)"
Narrated Anas bin Malik:
Allah's Apostle said, "I have been ordered to fight the people till
they say: 'None
has the right to be worshipped but Allah.' And if they say so,
pray like our prayers, face our Qibla and slaughter as we slaughter, then their blood
and property will be sacred to us and we will not interfere with
them except legally and their reckoning will be with Allah." Narrated
Maimun ibn Siyah that he asked Anas bin Malik, "O Abu Hamza! What makes
the life and property of a person sacred?" He replied, "Whoever says,
'None has the right to be worshipped but Allah', faces our Qibla during
the prayers, prays like us and eats our slaughtered animal, then he is
a Muslim, and has got the same rights and obligations as other Muslims
Imam Bukhari's hadith collection is considered by Islamic scholars to
be the most authentic and accurate of all the collections. The
order to wage war, whose terminal condition is conversion to Islam,
comes from the Qur'an.
(disbelief and polytheism: i.e. worshipping others besides Allâh) and
the religion (worship) will all be for Allâh Alone [in the whole of the
world ]. But if they cease (worshipping others besides Allâh), then
certainly, Allâh is All-Seer of what they do. The Order to fight to eradicate Shirk and Kufr
Allâh, (2) nor in the Last Day, (3) nor forbid that which has been
forbidden by Allâh and His Messenger (4) and those who acknowledge not
the religion of truth (i.e. Islâm) among the people of the Scripture
(Jews and Christians), until they pay the Jizyah with willing
submission, and feel themselves subdued. The Order to fight People of the Scriptures until They
give the Jizyah
Since Allah and Moe are to be obeyed and Moe is to be emulated, in all
places & at all times, the orders to wage war are binding on
Muslims at the present time.

relates to a statement of the female suicide bomber which I found
to be inaudiable. She expressed her expectation of being ushered into
the presence of Allah in al-Firdhause as soon as her deed was done.
Note that lying Muslims assert that Jihad is Jihad an-Nafs, which is
mentioned and deprecated in Islamic law,
but they never tell us how anyone died or got killed in striving
against his ego or temptations. One gets killed in Jihad Asghar, as per
9:111, not in Jihad Akbar.
Some importaint points are raised and questions
propounded in the trailerl; they are noted in the outer level of this
bullet list. My responses are indented.
- >20,000 terrorist attacks since '01/
- TROP features extensive charts of deadly terror attacks year
by year. Many blogs embed their badge, which is updated daily.
- motivated by the doctrine of Islamic Jihad
- Poverty, deprivation, repression, suppression, colonialism
& occupation are superficial pretexts, not basic motivating
factors. Imams & Mullahs first demonize the intended victims,
blaming them for every evil under the sun and equating their actions
with every imaginable injustice. Then they remind the Islamic
congregation of their obligation to Allah. The proper name for
that process is rabble rousing.
- tens of thousands of innocent lives lost
- Bill Warner estimates the 1,390 year total at 270*106 .
- what motivates Muslims to kill?
- Jihad is required by normative Islamic doctrine. Individuals
are motivated to participate by belief in Allah's imperatives, threat
& promise. Their emotions are stirred and escalated by
demonization of the infidels to be attacked.
- what is Jihad?
- your obligation
- Jihad is ordained for Muslims: 2:216 Jihâd (holy fighting in Allâh's Cause) is
ordained for you (Muslims) though you dislike it, and it may be that
you dislike a thing which is good for you and that you like a thing
which is bad for you. Allâh knows but you do not know.
- Offensive Jihad is fard al-kifaya: binding on all eligible
male Muslims jointly & severally until a sufficient number have
- Must be performed in every year if there is sufficient
manpower and material to carry it out.
- All who know of the communal obligation yet fail to perform
it when possible are sinners.
- Defensive Jihad is fard ayn: binding
on all Muslims to repel invasion
- The Reliance of the Traveller, Book O9.1
- In
the Muslim community, the holy war is a religious duty, because of the
universalism of the (Muslim) mission and (the obligation to) convert
everybody to Islam either by persuasion or by force.
- your duty
- Jihad is carried on with the hand, heart, tongue and
purse. Muslims unable or unwilling to take weapons in hand and
engage in the fighting should pray for victory, engage in propaganda
and spend Zakat for the upkeep of Mujahideen and their families.
Failure to perform those duties has consequences.
- salvation
- 9:111. Verily, Allâh has purchased of the
believers their lives and their properties; for the price that theirs
shall be the Paradise. They fight in Allâh's Cause, so they kill
(others) and are killed. It is a promise in truth which is binding on
Him in the Taurât (Torah) and the Injeel (Gospel) and the Qur'ân. And
who is truer to his covenant than Allâh? Then rejoice in the bargain
which you have concluded. That is the supreme success .
- 61:10 O You who believe! Shall I guide you
to a commerce
that will save you from a painful torment.
- 61:11. That you believe in Allâh and His Messenger
(Muhammad ), and that you strive hard and
fight in the Cause of Allâh with your wealth and your lives,
that will be better for you, if you but know!

disbelievers, by giving it to the believers, in war victories)
from its outlying borders. And Allâh judges, there is none to put back His
Judgement and He is Swift at reckoning.
- How to defeat it?
- Destroy their faith: cause them to comprehend the true
character of Allah & Moe; an impotent idol and barbarian warlord
respectively. Doubters, dissenters & deniers should refer to
the following sources:
- The Quranic Concept of War, page 60 for the key to
- The Life of Muhammad for the fatal facts which
will disgust anyone who retains a scintilla of vestigial morality..
- How to restore peace and security?
- Make the believers extinct and the world an Islam free zone by
inducing mass apostasy. Jihad can only be stopped by extinction
because of belief in Allah's imperatives, threat and promise. While men
believe that Allah commands them to conquer the world and will condemn
them to the fire if they don't go to war or admit them to his celestial
bordello if they fight in his cause, they wiull wage war. Jihad
can only end when their faith or their lives come to an end.

The Innocence of Jihad: New Movie from Imran Firasat!
The Innocence of Jihad New Movie from Imran Firasat!
Great news for humanity came in the form of a Stand Up America press release
today. Imran Firasat in collaboration with two experts, has produced a
high quality animated cartoon which illustrates and explains the
Islamic doctrine
of Jihad. The movie is scheduled for release July 4, 2012.
The official trailer is embedded below.
I find the quality of this trailer to be orders of
magnitude above that of the trailer for The
Innocent Prophet.
The content is accurate and the presentation is excellent.
The trailer is fast paced, if anything, a little too fast. I
could catch the scripture citations because I am familiar with
them. Keep your mind open and your eyes glued to the screen as
you view this trailer.
A note to the FBI, Department of State, Military
Intelligence and Florida's State and local Police Departments:
This blog post contains information which you need to know but are
prohibited from obtaining in your formal training due to obsessive
& suicidal political correctness. The Brass may ram it up
their ass, so make a note of the url and make another visit from home,
on your own computer. Bold blue, underlined text is hyperlinked
to important source documents or other blog posts. This blog post
includes links to the Qur'an, two hadith collections, Tafsir Ibn kathir
and three books of Islamic law.
Superscripts in the text are linked to an
enumerated list below the horizontal line. Most of the items in that
list contain multiple links. To read them, click the superscripts, then
tap your Backspace key to return to your place in the text.
Muslims are motivated to maim & murder by
Allah's imperatives1, threat2 & promise3. One of those imperatives
and the promise are cited in the trailer.
Imran Firasat asks: "What is Jihad?" Literally, it
is striving with great exertion. The third word in 2:216 is a clue for you: here is the dictionary entry. Jihad is fighting,
and it involves killing
and being killed. Jihad an-Nafs: struggling against
temptation & ego, does not result in death.
Hilali & Khan, in their footnote to 2:190,
define Jihad as "….(holy fighting) in Allâh's Cause (with full force
of numbers and weaponry) is given the utmost importance in Islâm and is
one of its pillar (on which it stands). By Jihâd Islâm is established,
Allâh's Word is made superior, (His Word being Lâ ilaha illallâh which
means none has the right to be worshipped but Allâh), and His Religion
(Islâm) is propagated….."
Islamic law, most clearly codified in The Reliance
of the Traveller Book O9.0, informs us that Jihad is "….to war against
non-Muslims….". Is Jihad an outdated anachronism? Sunan
Abu Dawud 14.2526 informs us that it will be "performed
continuously" until the last day; 23.3455
tells us that Jihad is the "original religion of Islam" which Allah
prefers over agriculture and trade as a means of generating income.
Is Jihad innocent? Jihad is mercenary4,
and genocidal6,
far from innocent. Most Muslims are descended from early victims
of Islamic aggression. They are Muslims because their ancestors
were conquered and converted at sword point or impoverished by the levy
of Jizya. Many of them are unaware of the doctrines related to Jihad
& terrorism. The threat comes from Believers7 who
actively seek to obey
Allah & emulate
Moe. While they believe
Allah's imperatives, threat & promise, they will maim and kill in
order to obtain admission to his celestial bordello and avoid his fire.
Innocence of Jihad is not intended to piss off
Muslims, although it will have that effect; it is intended to alert and
inform you; to motivate you to pressure your government for
effective action to prevent further attacks and bring about the
eventual end of Jihad. Jihad can only be defeated by destroying their faith: inducing mass

Imperatives confirmed in ahadith: Sahih Bukhari 4.52.196, 1.8.387, Sunan Abu Dawud 14.2635.
Imperatives codified in Islamic Law: The Reliance of the Traveller, Hedaya, Risala.
- Allah will condemn Muslims who shirk Jihad
to eternal damnation: 9:38-39, 61:10,
Sunan Abu Dawud 14.2497.
- Allah will admit those who fight in his
cause to his celestial bordello. 9:111,
Allah promises those who perform acts of terrorism extra credit towards
an upgrade in his celestial bordello: 9:120.
- How did Moe earn his income? By the tip
of his spear! Read the ahadith quoted in the second paragraph of this topic in Tafsir Ibn Kathir.
How did Allah make Moe wealthy? By conquests! What was Moe's prime
motivating factor? Loot!
What did Moe receive from Allah while he was sleeping? The keys to the treasures of the world! Who
gets the spoils? Moe! 8:1,
- There is no hint of defensive
motivation in the primary jihad imperatives previously cited. As per
the citation to their codification in Reliance of the Traveller, the
caliph "makes war upon Jews…" and "fights all other peoples until".
The actions depicted in those laws are clearly offensive, not
defensive. Kuffar are warred against both defensively and offensively, as laid down in O8.1,
"when they are in their own countries". The

Exposing Islam Through CAIR's Lies about the Boston Marathon Bombing
Bare Naked Islam posted and commented on a CAIR OPED, from which I extracted
a crucial phrase and did a search. The text turned up on CAIR's
Facebook page. I have reproduced it below, highlighting some
important words, phrases & clauses which I will dissect below
the OPED.
Nihad Awad, like all lying Muslims, assumes that we
are stupid, illiterate and gullible. With a smug smirk he plays
semantic games, cherry picks scripture and misrepresents the damnable
doctrines & practices of Islam.
The bothers who bombed the Boston Marathon were
Muslims. The surviving bomber said that they were motivated by
religion. What component of Islam would motivate anyone to maim
and mutilate as many people as possible? After reading this
post, you will be able to answer that question.
[Qur'an & hadith links added. Superscripts are linked to my
Jihad and Islam
By Nihad Awad
There is a growing attempt by some commentators to label the recent
bombings in Boston as "jihad" and to blame the deadly blasts on a
concept they call "radical Islam."1
I call "radical Islam" non-existent because radicalism or extremism
not permissible in Islam. Islam prohibits extremism2 and an
part of the faith is moderation. A more accurate term
might be
"Al-Qaeda ideology3."
The Quran, Islam's foundational holy text, states clearly: "We made you
to be a community of
the middle way, so that (with the example of your
lives) you might bear witness to the truth before all mankind." (Quran,
The Quran also states: "O you who believe! Stand out firmly for
justice, as witnesses to God, even against yourselves, or your parents,
or your kin, and whether it be (against) rich or poor: for God can best
protect both." (Quran, 4:35)
There is no such thing as radical Islam4,
but there are radical
– just as there are extremists
of every other religion6 or belief.
But there's a huge difference between the existence of radical
individuals and a religion
that permits radical beliefs or actions.
These radicals
certainly do not represent the teachings of Islam or the
behavior or beliefs of mainstream Muslims7.
In one Islamic tradition, called a "hadith," the Prophet Muhammad said:
"Religion is very easy and whoever overburdens himself in his religion
will not be able to continue in that way. So you should not be
extremists, but try to be near to perfection and receive the good
tidings that you will be rewarded; and gain strength by worshipping in
the mornings, the nights." [Bukhari 1.2.38]
In recent years, we have seen the term "jihadist" come to be used as if
it means a person who kills people out of a religious motivation8,
this is terribly inaccurate.
does not mean "holy war." 9Literally,
jihad means to "struggle,"
strive and exert effort. It is a central and broad Islamic concept that
includes struggle against evil inclinations within oneself, struggle to
improve the quality of life in society, struggle
in the battlefield for
self-defense 10(e.g., – having a standing army
for national
defense11), or
against tyranny or oppression.
For the sake of accuracy and to avoid spreading false information about
a major world religion, extremist
Muslims who commit crimes should be
called criminals or, in cases where the definition fits, terrorists.
should not legitimize
their actions by calling them jihadists, even if
they attempt to call themselves by that label and seek a false
religious connection or justification. These criminals should not be
honored with a religious label.
Islam allows legitimate self defense, but prohibits
the killing of
innocent people12, even in times of war or
conflict. Aggression
is never
"And fight in the cause of God those who
, and do
commit aggression. Indeed God does not love those who are
(The Quran, 2:190).
So yes, there are some Muslims who have extreme views, or mental
illnesses, or political grievances, or a host of other reasons that
lead them to kill people, and this is not only a tragedy and a crime
but an egregious
violation of the principles of Islam.
The difference between Muslim killers and killers from other
backgrounds is often the way they are described by the media and viewed
by the public: with Muslim killers, the
crime is almost always
attributed to their religion.14
Because the word "terrorism"15 is used almost exclusively to
crimes whose perpetrators are Muslims, you might think that a majority
of mass killings and acts of terrorism in the U.S. were committed by
Muslims. But when we look at the facts, that perception does not hold
* According to FBI statistics, of all terrorist attacks on U.S. soil
from 1980 to 2005, six percent were committed by Muslims. (Source:
* According to a study from the Combating Terrorism Center at the US
Military Academy, since 2011, politically-motivated attacks by Muslim
Americans have killed 33 people, while terrorist attacks by white
supremacists and other right-wing extremists killed more than 200
people. (Source:
* According to a report by the Triangle Center on Terrorism and
Homeland Security, "66 Americans were killed in mass shootings by
non-Muslims in 2012 alone, twice as many fatalities as from
Muslim-American terrorism in all 11 years since 9/11." (Source:
In a well-known hadith, a man asked the Prophet Muhammad, "What is the
jihad?" to which Prophet Muhammad replied, "Speaking a word of
truth to an oppressive ruler."
The constant misuse of terms like "jihad" and "radical Islam" is
offensive to the truth and is counterproductive to our nation's efforts
to achieve security.
It is time we all speak a word of truth by applying the proper labels
to criminals and their acts of violence, no matter their religious

radical Islam
To be effective, a professional liar will include
some truth in his spew of malignant malarkey. It is true that
there is no such thing as radical Islam. Islam is what it is; its
standard was set 1400 years ago by Moe's recitation, which is recorded
in the Qur'an and exemplified by Moe's sunnah
& Sira. Imperialism, terrorism, rape & pillage are
intrinsic sacraments of Islam, not bida introduced by "extremists
or radicals"
I disrespectfully direct doubters, deniers &
dissenters to Craig Winn's The Prophet of Doom,
which combines the most significant parts of the Qur'an, hadith, Sira
& Tahrik in 1000 pages supplying the context & chronology
lacking in the Qur'an. If you lack the patience for 1000 pages,
read the In
His Own Words Appendix for the highlights.
Normative Islam is extreme; it encompasses global imperialism, terrorism, genocide, rape and
pillage. Those intrinsic sacraments of Islam are not
prohibited. Transgressing the limits is prohibited.
The limits are set in Sahih Muslim 19.4294,
in which Moe commands his generals to make holy war. What would profane
it? Embezzling spoils, killing children, mutilating bodies and fleeing
from battle are the limits which must not be transgressed; which would
profane Islam's holy war.
Al-Qaeda ideology
Al-Qaeda is a subset of the Muslim Brotherhood,
which is a subset of Islam; what is their ideology? Islamic
ideology is most clearly stated in the motto of the Brotherhood,
which is copied in the Charter of HAMAS.

- Only Allah has the right to be worshiped. 3:2

radical Muslims
The correct expression is: Believers.
Believers are defined in 8:1-5. The meaning will not be clear until
you look up the context of "spend" and "go out" at http://www.quranbrowser.com/ . The
definition in 9:111 is more explicit: they sold their souls to
Allah for admission to his celestial bordello so they fight in his cause,
killing and being killed. In 49:15, they are described as only those who fight
in Allah's cause.

mainstream Muslims
Was Moe, the founder of Islam, a mainstream
Muslim? If not, then who is? Moe revealed the Qur'an, which
enshrines the doctrines of Islam; are those doctrines not mainstream?
If Moe's sunnah does not define mainstream Muslims, what does?
about Abu Sufyan
coming from Syria, he summoned the Muslims and said, 'This is the
Quraysh caravan containing their property. Go out to attack it, perhaps
God will give it as a prey.'
of Aslam told him that B. Sahm
of Aslam came to the apostle and complained that they had fought and got
nothing and found nothing with the apostle which he could give them. He
said: ~O God, You know their
condition and that they have no strength,
and that I have nothing to give
them, so conquer for them the wealthiest
of the enemy's forts with the
richest food.' The following day God conquered
the fort of al-Sa'b b. Mu'adh
which contained the richest food in Khaybar.
Moe was a predator. Predation is part of mainstream
Islam. In Tabari, Vol. VIII, page 122, we find the sad story of
the death of Kinanah, chieftan of Khaibar Oasis.
Kinanah refused to surrender
it; so the Messenger of God
gave orders concerning him to al-Zubayr
b. al-'Awwam, saying, "Torture
him until you root out what he has."
Al-Zubayr kept twirling his
fires tick in his breast 510 until
Kinanah almost expired; then the Messenger of God gave him to
Muhammad b. Maslamah, who beheaded him to avenge his brother
Mahmud b. Maslamah.
religious motivation
If your Lord issued divine imperatives commanding
you to wage war against pagans and 'people of the book' and if he threatened you with eternal damnation if you refused to wage war and promised you admission to his celestial bordello
if you join the jihad, that would be religious motivation to engage in
offensive conquest. What if your Lord promised you extra credit
towards an upgrade in your seat in his celestial bordello for any step you take to injure or enrage disbelievers;
would that be religious motivation?
Khalid Sheikh Mohammad and his co-conspirators filed
with the military tribunal a signed response to the
"nine accusations" against them. In their document, they spill the
Many thanks to God, for his kind gesture, and choosing us to
perform the act of
Jihad for his cause and to defend Islam and Muslims.
Therefore, killing you and
fighting you, destroying you and terrorizing you,
responding back to your
attacks, are all considered to be great legitimate duty in our religion.
actions are our offerings to
God. In addition, it is the imposed reality on Muslims in
Palestine, Lebanon,
Afghanistan, Iraq, in the land of the two holy sites [Mecca and Medina,
Saudi Arabia], and in the rest ofthe
world, where Muslims are suffering from your brutality, terrorism,
killing ofthe innocent, and
occupying their lands and their holy sites. Nevertheless, it would have been the greatest
religious duty
to fight you over your
infidelity. However, today, we fight you over defending Muslims,
their land, their
holy sites,and their religion as a whole.
That is neither radicalism nor extremism; that is normative Islam, as
Moe preached and practiced it. That is motivated by Allah's
imperatives, threat and promise. Those are religious motivations.
Jihad means extreme exertion and striving. It
is not defined in the Qur'an, but it is defined in a footnote by Hilali
& Khan in their translation of 2:190.
fighting) in Allâh's Cause (with full force of numbers and weaponry) is
given the utmost importance in Islâm and is one of its pillar (on which
it stands). By Jihâd Islâm
is established, Allâh's Word is made superior, (His Word being Lâ
ilaha illallâh which
means none has the right to be worshipped but Allâh), and His Religion
(Islâm) is propagated. By abandoning Jihâd (may
Allâh protect us from that) Islâm is destroyed and the Muslims fall
into an inferior position; their honour is lost, their lands are
stolen, their rule and authority vanish. Jihâd is
an obligatory duty in Islâm on every Muslim, and he who tries to escape
from this duty, or does not in his innermost heart wish to fulfil this
duty, dies with one of the qualities of a hypocrite.
'Abdullâh bin Mas'ûd رضي الله عنه: I asked Allâh's Messenger صلى الله
عليه وسلم "O Allâh's Messenger! What is the best deed?" He replied, "To
offer the Salât (prayers)
at their early fixed stated times." I asked, "What is next in
goodness?" He replied, "To be good and dutiful to your parents." I
further asked, "What is next in goodness?" He replied, "To participate
in Jihâd in Allâh's Cause." I did not ask Allâh's Messenger صلى الله
عليه وسلم anymore and if I had asked him more, he would have told me
more. (Sahih
Vol.4, Hadîth No.41).
holy fighting in Allah's cause
What makes fighting holy? Intentions:
intending to please Allah. What profanes it? Embezzling spoils, killing
children, mutilating corpses and fleeing from battle.
What is Allah's cause? To make Islam dominate the world.
legal definition
The Reliance of the Traveller, the Shafi'i school's
handbook of Shari'ah, certified as accurate and authentic by the
Sheikhs of Al-Zzhar University, defines Jihad in Book O9.0.
(O: Jihad means to
war against non-Muslims, and is etymologically derived from the
word mujahada signifying warfare to establish the religion. And it is
the lesser jihad. As for the greater jihad, it is spiritual warfare
against the lower self (nafs), which is why the Prophet (Allah bless
him and give him peace) said as he was returning from jihad.
"We have returned from the lesser jihad to the
greater jihad."
The scriptural basis for jihad, prior to
scholarly consensus (def: b7) is such Koranic verses as:
-1- "Fighting is prescribed for you" (Koran 2:216);
-2- "Slay them wherever you find them" (Koran
-3- "Fight the idolators utterly" (Koran 9:36);
and such hadiths as the one related by Bukhari
and Muslim
that the Prophet (Allah bless him and give him peace) said:
"I have been commanded to fight people until
they testify that there is no god but Allah and that Muhammad is the
Messenger of Allah, and perform the prayer, and pay zakat. If they say
it, they have saved their blood and possessions from me, except for the
rights of Islam over them. And their final reckoning is with Allah";
and the hadith reported by Muslim,
"To go forth in the morning or evening to
fight in the path of Allah is better than the whole world and
everything in it."Details concerning jihad are found in the accounts
of the military expeditions of the Prophet (Allah bless him and give
him peace), including his own martial forays and those on which he
dispatched others. The former consist of the ones he personally
attended, some twenty-seven (others say twenty-nine) of them. He fought
in eight of them, and killed only one person with his noble hand, Ubayy
ibn Khalaf, at the battle of Uhud. On the latter expeditions he sent
others to fight, himself remaining at Medina, and these were
forty-seven in number.)
"Jihad is ordained for you" in 2:216 Allah says
Jihad, not defense. When Moe was weak, with no army, Allah
prescribed patience and forbearance. When he moved to Medina and built
a small force, Allah prescribed defensive and retaliatory fighting in 22:39.
When his army grew strong enough to raid camel caravans and small
settlements, Allah revealed the primary Jihad imperatives in Surahs
Al-anfal & At-Taubah.
The Reliance of the Traveller, in Book O9.1,
sets forth two types of jihad: offensive and defensive. The former is
required in every year, and if not performed when possible, all who
know of the obligation are in sin. The obligation is communal,
binding on all eligible male Muslims until a su8fficient number has
reported to the front.
O9.1: The Obligatory Character of Jihad
is a communal obligation (def: c3.2). When enough people perform
it to successfully accomplish it, it is no longer obligatory upon
others (O: the evidence for which is the Prophet's saying
(Allah bless him and give him peace),
"He who provides the equipment for a soldier in
jihad has himself performed jihad,"
and Allah Most High having said:
"Those of the believers who are unhurt but sit
behind are not equal to those who fight in Allah's path with their
property and lives. Allah has preferred those who fight with their
property and lives a whole degree above those who sit behind. And to
each, Allah has promised great good" (Koran 4:95).
If none
of those concerned perform jihad, and it does not happen at all, then
everyone who is aware that it is obligatory is guilty of sin, if there
was a possibility of having performed it. In the time of the
Prophet (Allah bless him and give him peace) jihad was a communal
obligation after his emigration (hijra) to Medina. As for subsequent
times, there are two possible states in respect to non-Muslims.
first is when they are in their own countries, in which case jihad
(def: o9.8) is a communal obligation, and this is what our author is
speaking of when he says, "Jihad is a communal obligation," meaning upon the Muslims each year.
The second state is when non-Muslims invade a
Muslim country or near to one, in which case jihad is personally
obligatory (def: c3.2) upon the inhabitants of that country, who must
repel the non-Muslims with whatever they can).
Reliance O25.9
outlines the duties of subordinate rulers; one of them holds a clue for
you: to wage war against neighboring infidels and distribute the
spoils. .
The Hanifi school adds some crucial clarity.
The destruction of the sword is incurred by infidels, although they be
not the
first aggressors, as appears from various passages in the sacred
writings which are generally received this effect.
standing army
The purpose of Islam's army is offensive, not
defensive: to strike terror into the hearts of intended victims.
Note the expressions used in multiple translations of 8:60.
Islam prohibits
killing innocent
SnakeShit!!! 5:22
does no such thing! Words have meanings, but Muslims have their
own. They play a vicious semantic game which must be exposed.
5:32. Because of that We ordained for the Children of Israel that if
anyone killed a person not in retaliation of murder, or (and) to spread
mischief in the land – it would be as if he killed all mankind, and if
anyone saved a life, it would be as if he saved the life of all
mankind. And indeed, there came to them Our Messengers with clear
proofs, evidences, and signs, even then after that many of them
continued to exceed the limits (e.g. by doing oppression unjustly
and exceeding beyond the limits set by Allâh by committing the major
sins) in the land!.
Note the highlighted escape clause. The prohibition is in 4:92.
is not for a believer to kill a believer
except (that it be) by mistake, and whosoever kills a believer by
mistake, (it is ordained that) he must set free a believing slave and a
compensation (blood money, i.e Diya) be given to the deceased's family,
unless they remit it. If the deceased belonged to a people at war with
you and he was a believer; the freeing of a believing slave (is
prescribed), and if he belonged to a people with whom you have a treaty
of mutual alliance, compensation (blood money – Diya) must be paid to
his family, and a believing slave must be freed. And whoso finds this
(the penance of freeing a slave) beyond his means, he must fast for two
consecutive months in order to seek repentance from Allâh. And Allâh is
Ever AllKnowing, AllWise.
4:93. And whoever kills a believer
intentionally, his recompense is Hell to abide therein, and the
Wrath and the Curse of Allâh are upon him, and a great punishment is
prepared for him.
Who is innocent? Only Muslims!!! If you ain't
Muslim, you are a rebel against Allah and his Messenger, due to be
killed for waging war against them.
The truth is revealed in 5:33 and clarified by Tafsir Ibn Kathir.
war against Allâh and His Messenger and do mischief in the land is only
that they shall be killed or crucified or their hands and their feet be
cut off on the opposite sides, or be exiled from the land. That is
their disgrace in this world, and a great torment is theirs in the
`Wage war' mentioned here means, oppose and contradict, and it includes
disbelief, blocking roads and spreading fear in the fairways. Mischief
in the land refers to various types of evil. http://www.islam-universe.com/tafsir//5.13751.html
aggression is never
It is difficult to find a more egregious lie. You
have already seen ample proof of the obvious objective factual reality
if you have read this far. Whether you read Reliance of the Traveller, Risala or Hedaya, the aggressive and offensive nature of
Jihad is clear in Shari'ah.
Moe dictated and dispatched extortion letters by
private courier to his intended victims. Two of those letters are
extremely clear, leaving nothing to the imagination; I will link to
them. You can find the others on those sites.

The quote to 2:190 is not accurate; the operative expression is
transgress the limits, not commit aggression.
religion & crime
Islam is a crime against humanity: a war
crime. Its mission is mercenary and its method is martial.
What did the terrorists say when they slit the
throats of the flight crews? What did Nidal Malik Hassan shout
when he shot the soldiers at Fort Hood? What did they say when
they cut off Nick Berg's head? What did they shout when they blew
up children at Beslan?
Mohammad Atta, in his final message to the Magnificent 19, directed them
to shout the Takbir
while slaughtering because
it terrifies disbelievers.
like champions who do not want to go back to this
world. Shout, 'Allahu Akbar,' because this strikes fear in the hearts
of the non-believers."
What did Allah say he would and did cast? How
did Moe say he was made victorious?

Bullshit: Ghouse vs Geller–Jihad
Pamela Geller and Michael Ghouse argued about Islam & Jihad on Sean Hannity's radio show. You can listen to the audio here. The title of this post reflects a phrase used by twice by Ghouse in this debate. This debate is in the context of revelation of the fact that John Brennan, nominated to head the CIA, is one of the enemy, a slave of Allah.
Thick accents and rapid speech make this argument hard to follow, but its context and content are extremely important. Mike is a liar: he asserted that "there is no offensive warfare in Islam", that Islam only fights defensively. Pamela exhibits cognitive dissonance: at once demanding that violent imperatives be expunged from the Koran and acknowledging the impossibility of expunging them.
Muslim supremacists are super arrogant, condescendingly assuming us to be so stupid & gullible that their lies will never be fact checked. With the exception of Risala, which is only available on the web, the books you should be reading are available at Amazon and other book stores. The internet makes some of these texts available to those of us who are not sufficiently affluent to accrue large libraries.
The Muslim appointed to head the CIA claims that Jihad is a "legitimate concept" of self-purification & control in Islam. Each of the six canonical hadith collections, considered the most authentic by Islamic scholars, has a book of Jihad or expedition. I invite you to search each of those books and extract from them the ahadith relating to Jihad an-Nafs. What proportion of those books relate to offensive warfare against infidels and what proportion relate to wrestling with one's ego?

Ghouse asserts that Jihad asghar is strictly defensive: he is a liar; I submit proof! Reliance of the Traveller, cited by Geller in the debate, defines Jihad as war against non-Muslims. Here is the full quote, with links added for reference.
Chapter O9.0: Jihad
(O: Jihad means to war against non-Muslims, and is etymologically derived from the word mujahada signifying warfare to establish the religion. And it is the lesser jihad. As for the greater jihad, it is spiritual warfare against the lower self (nafs), which is why the Prophet (Allah bless him and give him peace) said as he was returning from jihad.
"We have returned from the lesser jihad to the greater jihad."
The scriptural basis for jihad, prior to scholarly consensus (def: b7) is such Koranic verses as:
-1- "Fighting is prescribed for you" (Koran 2:216);
-2- "Slay them wherever you find them" (Koran 4:89);
-3- "Fight the idolators utterly" (Koran 9:36);
and such hadiths as the one related by Bukhari and Muslim that the Prophet (Allah bless him and give him peace) said:
"I have been commanded to fight people until they testify that there is no god but Allah and that Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah, and perform the prayer, and pay zakat. If they say it, they have saved their blood and possessions from me, except for the rights of Islam over them. And their final reckoning is with Allah";
and the hadith reported by Muslim,
"To go forth in the morning or evening to fight in the path of Allah is better than the whole world and everything in it."Details concerning jihad are found in the accounts of the military expeditions of the Prophet (Allah bless him and give him peace), including his own martial forays and those on which he dispatched others. The former consist of the ones he personally attended, some twenty-seven (others say twenty-nine) of them. He fought in eight of them, and killed only one person with his noble hand, Ubayy ibn Khalaf, at the battle of Uhud. On the latter expeditions he sent others to fight, himself remaining at Medina, and these were forty-seven in number.)
Islamic law describes the obligation to wage war against passive infidels as communal: fard al kifaya, which lapses with respect to individuals once a sufficient number have responded. Other obligations, such as Saum & Zakat, are fard Ayn: individually binding. Jihad only becomes fard Ayn when Dar ul-Islam is invaded or threatened. I refer doubters, dissenters & deniers to Reliance O9.1. The obligation to attack passive infidels is described as binding upon Muslims in every year.
Subsequent sections of Chapter 9 inform us that "The caliph makes war on Jews, Christians and Zoroastrians" and "fights all other peoples until they become Muslims. " I disrespectfully direct doubters, dissenters & deniers: damned fools one and all, to O9.8 & 9.9 for a critical lesson in objective factual reality.
The handbook of Hanifi Fiqh makes it plain with slightly archaic language: war must be carried out continuously, and it is undertaken on Islamic initiative, not in reaction to provocation. I disrespectfully direct doubters, dissenters & deniers, damned fools one and all, to Hedaya, Volume II, Book IX, Chapter 1, pg. 140 & 141 to obtain a clue.
- Text
- The destruction of the sword is incurred by infidels, although they be not the first aggressors, as appears from various passages in the sacred writings which are generally received this effect.
- Marginal Note
- Infidels may be attacked without provocation.
The Sealed Nectar is described As the official biography of the Profit. I now present to you a portion of its Table of Contents. Note the frequent occurrence of terms such as battle and invasion. Islam is so peaceful! The violence started while the Profit was alive, in his last decade though Ghouse would have you believe that it is bida, inserted long after his death. Note the extortion letters dictated and dispatched to neighboring Kingdoms prior to several invasions.

- The Good News that Muslims will Dominate the People of the Book
We have foolishly allowed an enemy fifth column to invade our territory and infiltrate our government. It is essentially necessary to expel and exclude Muslims from America and Western Civilization. We must first strip off the false mantle of religion, exposing Islam as a mercenary & martial predator preying on the human race. Once exposed and defrocked, Islam can be removed from the penumbra of protection offered by the First Amendment's Free Exercise Clause, its institutions closed and Allah's slaves expelled & excluded.
Please do your part by sharing this blog post with as many people as you can hope to influence. Take the second step by signing the International Qur'an Petition, emailing it to your Representative & Senators.

Sarkozy brings al-Assad and Sleiman together on eve of Mediterranean summit.
He said both leaders had authorised him to make the announcement. It would be the first time the two countries had full-fledged embassies in each other's countries since Lebanon became independent in 1943 and Syria in 1945.
Sarkozy is also scheduled to visit Syria by mid-September in an effort to build relations between Paris and Damascus. Relations between the two countries have been tense since the assassination of Rafiq al-Hariri, a former Lebanese prime minister, in 2005, which France believes was orchestrated from Damascus.
France and the US have previously called on Lebanon and Syria to establish full diplomatic relations after Damascus pulled its troops out of Lebanon in 2005, ending nearly three decades of military presence.
'Diplomatic breakthrough'
Al-Assad was welcomed in Paris for a meeting at the Elysee palace before joining 40 other foreign leaders.
The Syrian president is among 43 leaders who will launch a so-called Union for the Mediterranean at a summit in Paris on Sunday.
Al Jazeera's Jacky Rowland, speaking in the French capital, said al-Assad is soaking up the international exposure from this trip.
She said: "The Syrian president's willingness to build ties with Lebanon, which have been strained for so long, is music to French ears.
"This is also something that Sarkozy will take credit for, and essentially see this as a diplomatic breakthrough."
Al-Assad met Michel Sleiman, the Lebanese president, the first time since he was elected in May, ending Lebanon's worst political crisis since the 1975-1990 civil war.
Sheikh Hamad bin Khalifa Al Thani, Qatar's emir, whose country brokered the power-sharing deal that ended the country's crisis, also met the two leaders.
However, a meeting between al-Assad and Ehud Olmert, Israel's prime minister, has been ruled out.
Sarkozy also raised human rights issues during his one-on-one talks with Assad on Saturday and try to advance the Israeli-Syrian peace process, aides said.
Constructive role
Despite concerns over Syria's rights record, France sees Assad's willingness to take part in the new Mediterranean forum and its indirect talks with Israel as signs that Damascus is seeking a more constructive role in the Middle East.
While the US continues to view Syria as a "terror state", France under Sarkozy has moved to renew high-level ties that suffered as a result of the 2005 assassination of al-Hariri, Lebanese ex-premier, who was a personal friend of Jacques Chirac, the former French president.
Israel and Syria, which technically remain at war since the creation of the Jewish state in 1948, have held three rounds of indirect talks through Turkey since March, raising peace prospects after an eight-year break.
Sarkozy has invited leaders from 44 countries, including Arab nations and Israel, for the founding summit of the union aimed at boosting co-operation between EU and bordering Mediterranean states.
On Monday, the Syrian leader will join about a dozen leaders to watch the annual Bastille Day military parade on the Champs Elysees during France's national celebrations.
However France's Bernard Kouchner, the foreign minister, last month commented that he was "not particularly pleased" by al-Assad's presence at the July 14 national fete.
While al-Assad will be applauding troops marching in the Bastille Day parade, Chirac will be conspicuous by his absence.
Officials have denied the former president's decision to stay away was linked to al-Assad.
Al-Assad's visit comes during France's presidency of the 27-nation European Union.

UC ANR shared California's impressive ag and natural resources with research center professionals
UC Agriculture and Natural Resources hosted members of the national Research Center Administrators Society (RCAS) in September for a tour, traveling from San Jose to Visalia, up to the mountains and then west to Paso Robles and Monterey, providing first-hand knowledge about the extraordinary agriculture industry and natural resources of the San Joaquin Valley and Central Coast.
The 50 participants – research station managers, directors and university, college and USDA administrators – visited the San Romero Visitors Center at the San Luis Reservoir, where they learned about the state and federal complex of facilities that form the California State Water Project and the federal Central Valley Project. The tour continued through the heart of the San Joaquin Valley, an agricultural region that supplies supermarkets around the nation and world with a diversity of fruits and vegetables.
"The RCAS annual tours give research center directors and superintendents from across the country an opportunity to talk in informal settings about issues we have in common," said Lisa Fischer, director of UC ANR's Research and Extension Center System. "Our tour in September also allows us to show the great things we are doing in California."
At the 330-acre UC Kearney Agricultural Research and Extension Center in Parlier, the visitors toured research plots of pistachios, almonds, tree fruit, wine and table grapes, and other crops, before traveling to the source of much of California water, the Sierra Nevada. In Sequoia-Kings Canyon National Park, the research station administrators saw the largest trees in the world.
While driving west across the vast San Joaquin Valley, the participants witnessed the change in cropping patterns, from citrus trees at the foot of the Sierras to vast dairy operations in Tulare and Kings counties, and farms that stretch thousands of acres in the west side of the valley,
As the bus ascended the Coast Range, UC Cooperative Extension advisor Royce Larsen pointed out the charred areas along the road where grass fires had robbed ranchers of forage for their cows. Larsen shared the other challenges faced by coastal rangeland managers and a new land use interest, developing solar farms in hot dry areas where irrigation water resources have dried up.
During the midday stop at J. Lohr Vineyards in Paso Robles, UCCE viticulture advisor Mark Battany detailed the growth of the local wine industry.
"In 1970s, there was about 1,000 acres of winegrapes in San Luis Obispo County," Battany said. "In the 1990s and 2000s, we had an explosion of interest. Now have 50,000 acres of vineyards and the industry provides a tremendous boost to the local economy – with things like luxury hotels and fine dining."
When the group reached the beach, the wind blew ferociously during a tour of the Kenneth S. Norris Rancho Marino Reserve in Cambria. Situated on a beautiful stretch of coastline, the reserve includes rocky shoreline, freshwater ponds, coastal grasslands and a mixed Monterey pine and coast live oak forest. In this UC research facility, development rights were donated to UC for research in perpetuity, but the owner reserves the right to build homes for family and workers.
The tour ended with visits to the Monterey County Ag and Rural Life Museum, a strawberry farm and the UC Cooperative Extension office in Monterey County.
"It was an honor for us to expose research directors to California agriculture," Fischer said. "Many come from states that only produce two or three commodities at the commercial level. In California, we produce more than 400 commodities."

They seem to be anyway as the IPA's latest survey into advertiser intentions shows that 22 per cent of those surveyed cut their budgets in the last quarter of 2010 against 17 per cent that increased them. The IPA represents UK advertising, marketing and media agencies.
All is not doom and gloom however, on balance UK marketing budgets are still set fair to increase in 2011 although not by as much as some of the optimists hope.
At the same time the Advertising Association has reported that UK ad expenditure grew by 6.6 per cent in 2010, better than it anticipated, while WPP's Group M says it expects worldwide ad revenue to top $500bn for the first time in 2011 with the US growing by 3.9 per cent and Western Europe by 2.5 per cent.
So it's the usual of mish mash of fact and opinion and, as we've said before, forecasts of marketing expenditure are notoriously unreliable, 2010 saw a slew of them that turned out to be completely wrong on the downside and which were rapidly revised.
As far as the UK is concerned there seem to be a few reasons why the startling growth in ads during 2010 will come under pressure in 2011.
The coalition's government's public spending cutbacks intended to cut the national deficit will hit purchasing power in the economy generally as hundreds of thousands of public sector workers lose their jobs. This will be compounded by the increase in VAT to 20 per cent although retailers are clever at absorbing such rises. At the moment most of the big ones have enough cash in their coffers to ignore the rise until they deem consumer confidence to have recovered.
So marketers may worry about their return on investment and decide to hang on to more of their cash.
But big UK companies, like their peers in the US and across the world, are mostly doing quite nicely thank you, particularly those that export to faster-growing economies in Asia and the Far East.
And ad levels in 2010, even at booming ITV, only clawed their way back to the pre-recession levels of 2008 so there is ample room for further, pretty run of the mill growth as the global economy continues to recover.
Even the battered old UK won't be immune from this trend so we can expect marketing spend and adspend (the two aren't the same of course) to resume their upward path, certainly in the second half of the year, and by rather more than 2.5 per cent.

Finally picked up a copy of Chris Lee reading Strange Conflict on ebay. I had to pay an alarming price for it though. It's well worthwhile . Chris Lee's charactorisation is excellent and his enthusiasm comes accross in the production. He is obviously enjoying the read (and why not) The story is sucessfully condensed on to four c90 cassettes, and it would not be too difficult to transfer it to CD. I'm very tempted to put it back on ebay (not that I would dream of copying the original of course).
Having said that I get the feeling that Prelude audio books are no longer a going concern, and I wonder who would be bothered if I did make copies available. Has any body got any thoughts? May be an irate MD of prelude might join our merry band of DW enthusiasts and tell us where we can all get a copy and the elusive version of DRO mentioned in the liner notes. On a more serious note I really do think that there is a market for DW on audio, and if some body could thread their way through the red tape.......Ah well...if I smoked a pipe (or a Hoyo) I'd carry on dreaming

Congratulations, nick - an excellent choice, but isn't it frustrating to see the other titles there and no way to find them?!nick wrote:Finally picked up a copy of Chris Lee reading Strange Conflict on ebay.
I know we've discussed this topic before, but have absolutely no idea how popular the format would be (apart from myself, of course). If you do find the will and a way to do it, let me know and I'll put you in touch with the Wheatley copyright owners.
Others' views, please.

Adolescent depression presents as ongoing sadness, a sense of discouragement or hopelessness, loss of self-worth and lack of interest in activities that formerly brought pleasure. While depression in adolescents is common (four in 100 teens become seriously depressed annually) due to hormonal changes, conflicts with parents regarding issues of independence and the stress that accompanies the change from a child to a young adult, not all teenagers suffer from depression, and not all adolescent depression is a stage that will pass. Sometimes teenage depression is a reaction to the death of a relative or a friend, divorce in the family, academic or social failure in school, physical or sexual abuse or breaking up with a boyfriend or girlfriend.
In addition, if family members suffered from depression, teens are more likely to experience it as well. Other illnesses that include depression as a component -- and which commonly appear during the teen years -- are bipolar disorder, anorexia, bulimia, schizophrenia and anxiety disorders. If your teen displays a lack of appetite, fatigue, memory loss, problems concentrating, irritability, intentions of suicide (talks about suicide or death a lot, distributes cherished belongings), withdrawal from family and friends, criminal behavior or if he or she starts abusing alcohol or drugs, these could all be signs of depression. If these signs continue for two or more weeks or it seems like your teen is getting worse, seek an immediate physical and psychiatric examination.
If your teen needs antidepressant medication, use only those that are FDA-approved for adolescents, and make sure that your teen receives follow-up care. Some antidepressants come with a warning that taking them can increase the risk of suicidal thoughts and behaviors when taken by children, so keep an eye on your teen. Don't suddenly stop giving your teen the medication, as symptoms can return; speak with your doctor about gradually tapering off. Cognitive behavior therapy and support groups may also be helpful in dealing with depression.

Father of Dallas Police HQ Shooter James Boulware Talks to Media
CBS Dallas Forth Worth talked to the father of 35-year old James Boulware, the lone suspect in the shooting of the downtown Dallas Police Headquarters early Saturday morning.
73-year-old Jimmy Lee Boulware told CBS that "Johnny never had a complete balanced view of his rights versus other people's rights."
He went on to say that his son blamed the police for taking his child away from him.
Boulware said that his son was "beaten down" by police and Child Protective services during a custody battle over his son. He also said that no police officers deserved to get shot at.
The 35-year-old Boulware was a high school dropout who regularly struggled with work and had run-ins with the law in the past, including assault and possession of drugs.

I love meeting clever and creative people, and it was such a pleasure to recently meet Holly from Sweet Little Dreamers, a one of a kind photo experience for babies and young children in Perth.
Holly came up with the idea after the birth of her son Harper, when she wondered what he dreamt about at night and from there started to hand make dreamer sets like dancing with dinosaurs, landing in outer space, flying with butterflies, swimming with a whale plus loads more.
These dream photos are then created into the most beautiful, personalised story books where your child is the star.
Holly has a fascinating background – a former professional runner, as well as studying photography she also has a Psychology degree and told me that a child who has a positive self-perception is more likely to succeed academically, socially and physically. *
Last week I took my energetic Chloe Bear in to have her own Sweet Little Dreamers photo experience, and we had so much fun!
Normally having photos of little ones can be a bit stressful, but Holly ensures the experience is really relaxed and enjoyable.
I'm SO excited for my little book lover to see herself star in her very own story book, (I may even have to take Ava back so she can have one too!)
I'm so excited to have met Holly and discovered Sweet Little Dreamers – the photos and story book will be something Chloe will treasure forever.
I also love that Sweet Little Dreamers have gift vouchers available – such a beautiful and unique gift idea for baby showers and new mums.
Here's to giving our children the gift of daring to dream!

Have you had professional photos done of your children?
How did they go?
'As a Mum, I love that my son Harper can look at his book and know that there are no limits to what he and his imagination can accomplish. Children have a blank canvas it is up to us as parents to love them, dare them to dream and see what an amazing life they can create.
I created Sweet Little Dreamers so more young children can experience what my son has and give them the gift of daring to dream.
I hope that each child's book sets them up with a positive and ambitious sense of self holding them in great stead for their exciting future.' Holly Noack – Sweet Little Dreamers

We would be the first to say that walking through the streets of Houston is pretty special, but did you know that there is a whole underground system of tunnels below the city? This Heart of the Tunnel Walk will take you through the city, over and underground, and into the sky to the best lookout point in Houston.
Meet your local guide and begin this Houston tour by walking down Main Street to the Chase Bank Building, which features eight frescoes depicting Texas history. With your local guide to explain these pieces, you'll gain a greater understanding of the history of the city. From here we'll enter the Downtown Houston Tunnel System and walk over to Chase Tower, the tallest building in Texas. Ride an elevator up to the 60th floor and take some epic photos of Houston from the sky lobby!
Time to head back to ground level and go outside for a photo op in front of Joan Miro's 1982 Personage and Birds. Next on this historical Houston Tour you'll head across the street and enter Philip Johnson's award-winning Pennzoil Place. You'll ride an escalator down to the Tunnel and walk underground to Skidmore, Owings and Merrill's 1972 One Shell Plaza, where you'll have a shopping opportunity at Mendota, a unique boutique featuring gifts from around the world.
Next, you'll head outside to walk through Hermann Square Park into Houston's City Hall, home to one of the largest visitors centers in the U.S. Watch a short video about Houston, pose for a photo with a life-size statue of Houston's namesake, purchase cowboy hats, postcards and souvenirs, look at exhibits, and pick up free literature about what to do in the nation's fourth-largest city.
Finish your Houston tour by walking through downtown's newest tunnel and returning to Georgia's Market with your guide. If you prefer to stay downtown, your guide will show you how to explore more of downtown's best sites above and below, like Discovery Green, the Theatre District, and more via the Greenlink Connector and MetroRail.
