Many nations welcomed Islam as “part” of the Society
Islam does not stay “a part” – It Becomes “the” Society
Multiculturalism is leading to Islamic European TAKEOVER!
The ONLY GOOD American Infidel is a DEAD American Infidel,
Who carried a politically correct diplomatic dialog to the Grave
Believing an Islamic Religion would Live in a Multicultural Society
Without trying to change it to a Sharia Law Islamic Jihad Republic!

Multiculturalism has failed
Op-ed: European leaders finally starting to understand dangers of Muslim immigration
Shaul Rosenfeld
10.19.10, 16:15
Multiculturalism is an utter failure, German Chancellor Angela Merkel admitted over the weekend, even if she made sure to balance the painful truth with the required lip service to the master of European liberalism – political correctness – saying that Islam today is part of the Modern Germany.
It’s not quite clear how the chancellor’s logic corresponds to her claim regarding the utter failure of multiculturalism, when everyone knows that her words were almost exclusively directed at the Muslim community and its overwhelming commitment to the spirit of Islam. In her statement regarding Islam’s attachment to Europe, Merkel exposed her confusion and embarrassment (as well as that of many of her European colleagues) at this time, when the sword of Islam threatens the continent’s longtime cultural and demographic character.
Meanwhile, the leader of Germany’s Christian Social Union, Horst Seehofer, chose to adopt a more Lieberman-like and less Merkel-like rhetoric. He recently declared that the country does not need more immigrants from foreign cultures, since immigration law is important, and that’s why high rated green card lawyers are essential for people with migration issues. By uttering these works, Seehofer angered quite a few local politicians, who are having trouble (openly at least) accepting the grave news of multiculturalism’s premature demise.
Similarly to more and more European politicians and residents, Seehofer too is finding the foolish multicultural notion as increasingly less appealing.
This of course guarantees that he and his colleagues will be facing the harsh resistance of “progressive forces.”
These forces, which largely dominate the media, cultural, and academic spheres in the Western world, manage to convince many that a humane, enlightened person should accept cultural divergence, especially in light of Western colonialism’s effect on oriental nations. Indeed, European “fans of progress” feel this divergence must be lauded, regardless of whether Muslim immigrants view their very presence in Europe as a means to reinforce their isolationism, while shaping their new abode
in the spirit of their own religion and culture.
Of course, not every European Muslim strictly adheres to the decrees of Islam and Jihad, yet when the options one faces are Europe and its culture on the one hand, and Mohammad’s religion on the other, the overwhelming majority of Muslims prefer the values they grew up with at home over the ones promoted by their new European home.
Willful blindness
European authorities are of course aware of it, yet this does not prevent them from turning a blind eye to it, in the same way they ignore the methodical repression of women, violation of human rights, and wide-ranging incitement by imams at European Muslim communities (as confirmed by several unbiased European and international human rights groups.) Meanwhile, these governmental cover-up experts enjoy the support of liberal forces, which as we know raise a hue and cry every time a slight suspicion emerges in respect to Israeli human rights violations.
And if that’s the case, is it any wonder that Professor Robert Redeker from France had to run for his life, while quitting his place of work, only because he dared criticize the Islamic belligerence in Europe, while the abovementioned “progressive forces” remained silent? This was not much different than the “liberal support” accorded to Iranian artist Sooreh Hera, who was also forced to flee after seeking to present Mohammad and his partner as a homosexual couple at a Dutch museum.
Meanwhile, Geert Wilders continues to face various threats on his life following his film, “Fitna,” while cartoonist Kurt Westergaard barely survived an assassination attempt after drawing a Mohammad cartoon.
Indeed, the commitment of enlightened Europeans to glorious multiculturalism was maintained after the terror attacks in Madrid in 2004, the murder of Theo Van Gogh in Amsterdam in 2004, the terror attacks in London in 2005, the publication of the Mohammad cartoons in Denmark in 2005 (which led to more than 1,000 deaths worldwide,) the attempt to blow up seven European plans above the Atlantic in 2006, and the recent plot to carry out terror attacks at several European states (by “loyal” Muslim residents of Europe).
However, the incredibly effective ideological steamroller utilized by “progressive forces” in Europe for so long cannot face the pressure, and the rotten multicultural fruit are prompting many Europeans to wonder whether the time has come to put an end to this. And so, with almost no exception, the overwhelming majority of initiatives presented in recent years in a bid to start disengaging from the multicultural mirage and from the threatening Islamization are granted wide-ranging popular support.
Europe’s leadership is still far from crossing the ideological Rubicon, even if a leading figure like Chancellor Merkel may end up being the first great harbinger of the termination of Europe’s multicultural spring.

New Trend in Al-Qaeda’s Recruitment Efforts: American Muslims Should Carry the Burden of Jihad in U.S.
By: Y. Carmon and H.
Migron*
October 19, 2010
Inquiry Analysis Series Report No. 639
The second issue of Inspire, the English-language magazine of Al-Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula (AQAP), published October 10, 2010,[1] provides futher evidence of a striking new development: Al-Qaeda is striving to place the responsibility for jihad in America upon the Muslim community in the U.S. This is instead of having mujahideen come from other parts of the world to attack the U.S., and instead of recruiting American Muslims to fight on other jihadi fronts worldwide.
Following is an analysis of this new trend.
Jihad in America – The Responsibility of Its Muslim Community
Al-Qaeda’s effort to recruit Americans for action in the U.S. takes place on two levels, and is directed at two distinct audiences.
A) The ideological level:
On this level, Al-Qaeda ideologues address the more educated circles in the American Muslim community, and attempt to undermine the efforts of moderate Islamic scholars to challenge jihadist and extremist notions.
For example, the second issue of Inspire includes an article by Sheikh Anwar Al-Awlaki, the charismatic Americ
an-born jihadi leader and scholar who was the inspiration behind several terrorist attacks in America.
The article is a detailed denunciation of the New Mardin Declaration – a fatwa published by a group of moderate Muslim scholars from around the world in attempt to delegitimize extremism and violent jihad and promote values of tolerance and coexistence between Muslims and non-Muslims.[2]
B) The practical level:
On this level, Al-Qaeda appeals to the less educated elements of the Muslim community, with an eye to recruiting them for hostile action inside the U.S. Several articles in the second issue of Inspire provide practical suggestions for attacks that do not require advanced weapons or special training abroad, such as driving a vehicle into a large crowd in an American city, shooting up a crowded restaurant in Washington, DC, or using “a pickup truck as a mowing machine, not to mow grass but mow down the enemies of Allah.” The first issue of Inspire included similar advice, such as “how to make a bomb in the kitchen of your mom.” The magazine also encouraged Muslims in the U.S. to emulate the actions of Nidal Hasan, suspected of perpetrating the shooting at Fort Hood, and Faisal Shahzad of the attempted Times Square bombing.
The new trend of addressing Americans is reflected in the call made on Islamist websites to circulate the Inspire magazine on various English-language websites – not only on jihadist sites but on general ones, such as sports sites.
The trend is also reflected in the statement that “the target audience” of Inspire magazine is “non-Arab Muslims” (meaning English-speaking Muslims of all nationalities).
This new development is not relevant to the U.S. alone, since English-speaking Muslim communities are found in many parts of the world. Moreover, in our assessment, magaz
ines like Inspire will be published in additional Western languages, targeting Muslim communities in other countries.

[2] The declaration was issued at the “Mardin: Abode of Peace” conference, held in Turkey on March 27-28, 2010, which was an attempt by Islamic scholars from a number of countries to rule terrorism and aggression illegitimate. The conference centered on a fatwa by the medieval Islamic scholar Taqi Al-Din Ibn Taymiyya regarding the city of Mardin in southeast Turkey, which in his days had fallen to the Mongols.
When asked whether Mardin was dar al-harb (the Abode of War) or dar al-islam (the Abode of Islam), Ibn Taymiyya had replied that Mardin was a composite abode.
The main argument of the scholars participating in the conference was that just as Ibn Taymiyya had not strictly adhered to the classical division
of the world into dar al-harb and dar al-islam, so modern Islamic scholars need to take changing conditions into account when dealing with these concepts.
In particular, they argued that the international system today achieves the ends sought by Islam – peace, sovereignty, freedom of worship, etc.
– and thus the concepts of the “Abode of War” and jihad against it are no longer operative.
The conference was accompanied by a concerted public relations effort. The organizers employed the services of a consulting firm and set up an English-language website (http://www.mardin-fatwa.com) that included information on the proceedings, the conference’s closing declaration, and press clippings. It was clear that in addition to addressing the technical jurisprudential arguments, the conference participants were equally interested in presenting their message to a Western audience.
The Mardin conference raised the ire of many jihadists and hardline Wahhabis. This was primarily because the conference had chosen to base itself on a fatwa by Ibn Taymiyya for the express purpose of arguing that this scholar, who is the jihadists’ and Wahhabis’ preferred medieval authority, is today being misinterpreted. (Some of the scholars who participated in the conference, such as the Grand Mufti of Bosnia Dr. Mustafa Ceric, are actually from schools of Islam that have historically been at odds with many of Ibn Taymiyya’s positions; the decision to focus on him as an authority was thus primarily a means of undermining the jihadists’ own arguments.) Prior to Anwar Al-Awlaki’s article in Inspire, denunciations of the conference had already been penned by Sheikh Abu Muhammad Al-Maqdisi, Sheikh Hamid Al-‘Ali of Kuwait, the Saudi Wahhabi Sheikh ‘Abd Al-‘Aziz Bin Muhammad Aal ‘Abd Al-Latif, the pseudonymous jihadist sheikhs Hussein Bin Mahmud and Abu Ayyub Al-Ansari, and others.
