Only for an hour .. Jihad Marriage to overthrow the Syrian regime

I read the below fatwa in Arabic at the Syrian site DAM PRESS, I just saved it, because some readers would think its a Syrian propaganda. Today, being tweeted by Shaikh Mohamad Al-Arifi, I decided to puplish it, and remind the readers of UP, here and of deLiberation, that this wahabi shaikh and his likes are the reference for the British “Muslim” Activist, Laura Stuart,

“What do I want to see happen there? I want to see Islam rise there exactly as Sheik Arifi says in his talk on the video.” Laura said

Laura StuartWhen I read the Fatwa, I immediately remembered Laura, and her brother, Khalid Hamayreh, and their propaganda war on Syria, Iran and what Hamayreh called  ’Shiits of Iblis”. Hamayerh described the Shae temporary marriage a kind of  prostitution. 

Back to the wahabi fatwa:  

The fatwa states that Syria ‘freedom’ fighters against the regime, unmarried or married but can not meet their wives, may mary girls , 14 years and above, or widows and divorced women  for short periods not exceeding few hours to give the opportunity to another fighter to do the same with the same girl/woman. The aim of the fatwa is to enable the fighters to get theirlegitimate right” and thus raise their morale of combat. Moreover, the Syria’s Jihadis girls/women who follow the fatwa are entitled to go to Paradise.

Back to the Shea temporary marrage, the marrage is allowed in certain case, provided, the girl, woman, can remarry only after making sure that she is not pregnant, if pregnant her son/daughter is entitled to get his/her share in the father‘s legacy.

I will leave it to the readers to decide which one is prostitution?

—–

For better ‘Jihad’: Wed a 14 years old, have sex with her for hours & then let another Jihadi wed her …

Good for Syria’s Jihadis morale, says Dr. Alarefe!

 
 


 

Did Britain try blackmail to cripple Palestinians’ UN bid?

Did Britain try blackmail to cripple Palestinians’ UN bid?

Thursday, November 29th, 2012

Promise not to prosecute Israeli war criminals, not to go for full UN membership, not to seek justice but submit to rigged talks, and we’ll support you.

Britain’s Foreign Office, on its website, states loudly and clearly: “The UK is committed to upholding international justice and all of our international obligations. Our core principle is clear. Those guilty of war crimes must be brought to justice whether they are Israeli or any other nationality. We are also committed to ensuring that UK systems are robust in meeting its international law obligations.”

Palestinian-bid-for-statehood-at-UN

Yet ugly rumours are flying that the British government twisted the arm of President Abbas and told him the UK would only support Palestine’s modest upgrade to ‘observer state’ at the UN (to be decided tomorrow, Thursday) if he pledged not to pursue Israeli war criminals through the International Criminal Court.

In a statement issued yesterday by the Palestinian Mission in London, Ambassador Hassassian says:

“It was reported recently in several media outlets that in exchange for its – the British government’s – support of the Palestinian UN bid it wants guarantees from Abbas including: (1) That the Palestinians will not bring cases against Israeli officials to the ICC or other UN agencies…(2) That the Palestinians will not use UN observer status as a basis for a renewed appeal to the UN Security Council for full membership to the UN…(3) That Abbas will commit to renewing peace talks with Israel without preconditions.

Such steps would undermine the Palestinian leadership and its credibility with its own constituents. The British government is once again putting conditions for its support to the Palestinian people instead of shouldering its historic responsibility towards them… I urge the British government to fulfil its responsibility and stand at the right side of history by recognizing the state of Palestine and voting in favour of an enhanced Palestinian status at the UN.”

This morning the Palestinian embassy in London was unable to verify that any such pressure was put on Abbas. But that is not to say it didn’t happen and numerous media sources got it wrong. The conversation was likely to have taken place in Ramallah, and Ramallah is not noted for its responsiveness to media questions.

A last-minute message from the PLO communications office reads:

I can confirm that there has been British pressure to deprive of our right to ratify an international treaty. I can also ratify that we have been very clear in telling the UK that we are not going to compromise on our sovereignty. The resolution haven’t been and will not be modified to adequate any objection to our right to self determination and protection of our people.

What exactly that means I don’t know. And they still won’t say who put the squeeze on Abbas. If nothing else, this episode demonstrates once again the deplorable state of the PLO/PA’s media skills.
If indeed any attempt were made by the UK government to deprive the Palestinians of the status, privileges and freedoms enjoyed by their neighbours it would be a deep disgrace on the people of Britain.

Solemn and binding obligations to pursue war criminals… do they mean nothing?

It was established at Nuremberg after World War 2 that crimes against the peace, crimes against humanity and war crimes are also offences against the whole of international society.

All states that are party to the Geneva Conventions – and that includes the UK – are under a solemn and binding obligation to seek out those suspected of having committed grave breaches of the Conventions and bring them to justice. There should be no hiding place for those suspected of crimes against humanity and war crimes.

The UN’s Goldstone report and the international law panel appointed after the Gaza flotilla incident raised the issue of Israel’s impunity and unaccountability.

But what we’re up against in the UK is a biased and unprincipled administration that wants to let ‘friendly’ war criminals off and protect them from arrest while they visit Britain. The government recently watered down UK law on universal jurisdiction arguing that foreign politicians they happen to like, no matter how thuggish, should never be made to feel unwelcome. The overriding principle that no-one, regardless of nationality, should feel able to commit war crimes with impunity, is sacrificed so that the likes of former foreign minister Tzipi Livni, with the blood of thousands of Palestinian dead and wounded on her hands, can go shopping in London.

Livni, the pin-up girl of the Knesset, is reported to be making a comeback in Israeli politics at the head of a new party in January’s elections. Seems our Foreign Office chaps are hopelessly smitten by her.

Meanwhile mountains of evidence of Israel’s war crimes are just waiting to be tested in the International Criminal Court.

The purpose of the ICC http://untreaty.un.org/cod/icc/statute/romefra.htm is

to help end impunity for the perpetrators of the most serious crimes of concern to the international community

The Court has jurisdiction over genocide, crimes against humanity and war crimes committed by nationals of a State Party or on the territory of a State Party since July 2002.
115 states have signed up. The UK is one of them, and so too is Afghanistan. But rogue states like the US, Israel and Saudi skulk in the outer darkness.

A further 34 countries, including Russia, have signed but not ratified. Three — Israel, Sudan and the United States — signed and then, presumably realising their conduct was not up to the standards expected and no doubt wishing to undermine its work whenever it suited them, ‘unsigned’.

Palestine declared its voluntary acceptance of the ICC’s jurisdiction in 2009, but whether it should be regarded as a ‘State’ as required by Article 12(3) of Rome Statute has been the subject of much debate. In April this year the ICC General Prosecutor Luis Moreno-Ocampo said the court would not accept a Palestinian demand to investigate alleged war crimes by Israel until Palestine was recognize as a state by the UN General Assembly.

In order to proceed we need the General Assembly of the UN accepting Palestine as an observer state. As soon as this is done we can proceed.

If the ICC does acquire jurisdiction, it will inherit a whole shed-full of damning evidence gathered not only by Goldstone but many other organisations such as Human Rights Watch, Amnesty International and the Arab League

Consequently Israel and its obedient friends America and Britain are getting edgy.

In the meantime the PLO Executive’s Hanan Ashrawi has announced that Palestine’s final resolution was submitted to the UN on Monday, so all this last-minute bickering and arm-twisting is academic. It has been too late to change the wording since last weekend.

Asked whether Palestine would file complaints with the International Criminal Court, Ashrawi said it would be for the Palestinian leadership to decide. She also said that the Palestinian Authority would not abandon any of the inalienable Palestinian rights guaranteed by international law.

Within Palestinian ranks there seems to be a measure of unity. Hamas’s chief-in-exile Khaled Meshaal and fellow political bureau member Izzat al-Rishq said on Monday that they supported Abbas in going before the United Nations, but warned that Palestinian “constants and rights” must not be compromised nor any inch of Palestinian land sacrificed.

Whether Hamas’s leaders-on-the-ground are quite so enthusiastic isn’t clear. However, prime minister Ismail Haniyeh said,

nobody is against statehood, and (my government) supports any political move to establish a Palestinian state on the occupied Palestinian territory.

ADDENDUM:
Since the writing of this article the statement on the Palestinian Resolution by William Hague has been issued (29/11/2012).

Despite Gaza’s courage under fire Hamas puts a brake on the Palestinian ambition

I posted the article of brother Stuart Littlewood, and read the comments on it on deLiration.

netanyahu

With full appreciation for Stuart Littlewood, and all pro-Palestine activists, journalists, writers and thinkers I
disagree with Stu, and this is not the first time.

On  05. Sep, 2010, Stuart called: Hamas, don’t blow this chance.

Instead of hurling threats of more violence, which only serve to reinforce opinion that Hamas is a terrorist organization, the words and deeds of the resistance movement should be carefully chosen to harmonize with the West’s values and beliefs.”

“The world needs reminding how the refusal by that delinquent duo – Obama and Netanyahu – to sit down with democratically elected Hamas tramples on everyone’s democratic principles, not just the Palestinians’, and how their contemptuous attitude disqualifies them from ever again preaching democracy to others.” 

They could even consider setting up alternative, parallel peace talks to ridicule the US-Israel-Fatah axis and to produce an alternative, parallel final status solution based on justice… just for fun, or maybe as a serious counterpoint.

Hamas would also do well to frame their case in a manner that allows others, outside the Holy Land, to sympathize and feel persuaded that it’s time they were welcomed into the mainstream.

It is part of the re-positioning and re-branding process one hoped had already begun. But judging from those threats to step up violence they haven’t yet made a start.

Read the article and my comments on it here

I have the courage to admit that I was wrong about Hamas leadership. Two years later,  Hamas leadership did what Stu and others asked, but not for fun. I am sad to say that Hamas Leadership failed to learn from the lesson of 1973 war, Camp David and Oslo, and Mishaal would face the fate of Sadat or Arafat.
 
Zooming out of Gaza, and Palestine, I would claim that despite Gaza’s courage under fire Hamas puts a brake on the Palestinian ambition, and may lead under current Hamas leadership and its brothers in the Arab Spring to A New OSLO  wearing a beard, or call it, an Islamist’s Camp David. 

The so-called Arab Spring in Egypt delivered nothing but a new Mubarak wearing a beard, I would say a Mubarak cubed ( Raised to Power 3).

Like Mubarak he is a dictator, but, being backed by Egyptian and International brotherhood he is more dangerious. Unlike Mubarak he is a sectarian involved to his ears in the American aganda for new middle east.


The truce blessed by the Americans on Wednesday evening is intended to become a Camp Davidbased on abusing the Quranic verses, wrongly understood and consequently wrongly transtated: “If they seek peace, then seek you”
 
I shall an extract the followi from a post I wrote commenting on Laura Stuart claiming that  “Success will never come from deviant”







Laura Stuart ‘If they seek peace, then seek you ‘peace.


 Go to all Quran translations you will find that the verses is translated like this: And prepare against them what force you can and horses tied at the frontier, to frighten thereby the enemy of Allah and your enemy and others besides them, whom you do not know (but) Allah knows them; and whatever thing you will spend in Allah’s way, it will be paid back to you fully and you shall not be dealt with unjustly. (60)

‘If they seek peace, then seek you ‘peace. FORCE And trust in God for He is the One that heareth and knoweth all things.’ (8.61)

Translation, in general, is based on Tafseer books. The above translation of verses (61), reflects how our Muslim leaders, and their puppet “scholars” used and abused the Quran to justify treason and taking our enemies as allies. The verses was used and abused by Sadat and his puppet Shaikh Shaarawi, to justify visiting Jerusalem, and the “Shalom” Camp David treaty, and to justify the so called Arab initiative, and now is used by your Islamist in Egypt, Tunis and Libya, to Justify taking Nato and the west as their allies.

The two Verses should be read together, let me do that using my mind not Sheik Arifi likes “pre-set minds”

And prepare against them what “FORCE” you can and horses tied at the frontier, to frighten thereby the enemy of Allah and your enemy and others besides them, whom you do not know (but) Allah knows them; and whatever thing you will spend in Allah’s way, it will be paid back to you fully and you shall not be dealt with unjustly. (60)

Allah is asking “you who have believed,” to prepare for THEM and others besides them(Your real enemies, not the so-called “deviant sects”, look around you and you will see both THEM and OTHERS BESISES THEM) what FORCE you can…. to “frighten them and others beside them.

In other words, the first verses urges us to acquire power to prevent aggression (Frighten -not terrorize) the enemy and others beside him. In modern terms: Achieve Power Balance.

According to syrian resercher Professor Mohamad Shahrour IT refers not to Peace in vesres 61, but to FORCE in Verses 60.


And if they incline to peace, then incline to it (FORCE, not PEACE) and trust in Allah; surely He is the Hearing, the Knowing. (61)

In English “it” stands for both feminine, masculine, In Arabic Force is feminine, Peace is masculine, So if Allah is talking about peace, Allah should have used [ له not لها]
[ قال لها أي اجنح للقوة، ولو قصد الجنوح للسلم لقال له]

In other words: IF THEY INCLINE TO PEACE, THEN INCLINE TO FORCE, to keep the ememy frightened and prevent WAR.


May be Stu would say: Well thats exactly what Hamas did.

I would say, true, Hamas and other factions did it, thanks to Palestian freedom fighters and to IRAN, SYRIA, and Hezbollah, but SIR, Hamas leadership is looking for a long very long truce, and its Qatari God father, who tamed and brought Mishaal to the house of obedience, would turn Gaza into a new Dubia, a lot of prosperity weaken the resistance”.  and like what America and Europe did in WB, turn thousands of freedom fighters into an army waiting their salaries.

Bribing Hamas achieves two goals of the donor countries, first ensure turning Hamas into an independent authority in Gaza eager to serve Israel’s security, and the second get it away from the axis of Hezbollah and Iran, who supported supported the ungrateful Hamas financially and militarily.

Personaly, I belive, Hamas succeeded in Hijacking the Victory of Gaza, but will not succeed in achieving what Arafat and OSLO one failed to achieve because the other armed factions will be a stumbling block in front, especially Jihad, so far, linked to Iran who pledged in its first release after the cease-fire that the aggression does not mean the end of the battle,” and that its potential military still strong, and its ready to continue the battle. Moreover, Hamas itself is not united behind Mishaal, Mahmoud Zahar, in his first appearance after the cessation of hostilities “The time of self-defense is over and it is time to liberate the land

Palestinians, who turned the page of PLO, are able to turn the page of tired Hamas leadeship, and the Majority of Gazans are refugees waiting to return to their villages and towns occupied by Israel.

SECTARIANS AGAINST THE RESISTANCE

SECTARIANS AGAINST THE RESISTANCE
Twice I have been shocked lately , first by the Sheikh Ra’ed Salah; the Sheikh of al Aqsa -as he likes to be called- and second by a person called Laura , a new convert to Islam.
In both cases the problem that I faced was none other than sectarian Islam and NGO .
The notorious Sheikh Raed Salah had succeeded for many years in deceiving us by projecting the image of a committed person , a religious reference defending fiercely al Aqsa and rallying people for this cause all over the world ; the image of a passenger on the Mavi Marmara who exposed his life and was about to get killed , of a prisoner incarcerated constantly by Israelis.
I feared for Sheikh Raed Salah , I feared for his life and for his freedom and considered him a symbol of the Resistance in the occupied Palestinian territory . Never the idea would have occurred to me that the Sheikh was a hired NGO, a person promoting –above all-his own self in order to sell his stands in the Turkish and Qatari markets at a the highest price.
He had fallen even lower than Azmi Beshara, who had also defected from Palestine to Qatar to join the prince of Qatar and Sheikha Moza in their “dubious ” endeavors ; what an end for the leftist intellectual that he posed for!

As for the sheikh Raed Salah he reserved us a special surprise when he started -from Palestine and Turkey- rallying against Syria and calling for liberating Damascus as if Palestine had already been liberated .

The Sheikh was just playing the sectarian card , the winning card that Qaradawi had played before him ,calling – like Qaradawi -for division and for civil war in Syria , siding with NATO and the western establishment and Israel , waging enmity to the country that hosts half a million of refugees , the country that hosted for years the leaders of HAMAS where they were welcomed and honored and catered to.

Shame on such a Sheikh who forgot Palestine and forgot Israel that has usurped his country and village, to call for war on Syria under the pretext that Assad is a dictator depriving Sunnis from the rule !

Where is Palestine from all this and where are Palestinians and where is the Resistance and where is the struggle and where is religion ?

There is nothing in here except utter sectarianism that serves best the world order and Israel .

As for Laura the new convert to Islam, her story is the saddest of stories for -while she thought she had converted to Islam- she had actually converted to sectarianism which meant that she would never know what true Islam is .

The converted lady that seems a respectable person –-wants -like Sheikh Raed Salah – the Sunnis to rule Syria , it does not matter who are the Sunnis who would rule- whether they are good or bad-as long as they get to rule, and for this there is need to overthrow Assad and create all this havoc .

Long live the Sunnis ! This is what the new convert understands by Islam which is a total misconception of religion and a total misunderstanding of Islam .

Sectarianism is not Islam , it is Islam as conceived by the Intelligence Services of the western establishment , it is Islam as conceived by the enemies of Islam, by the enemies of Arabs and Palestinians .

Sectarianism is the Islam prepared especially to the taste of NGOs whose goal is to distort the religion and everything that relates to it and to replace it by its fake projection so as to get an Islam that compromises and normalizes with the state of Israel .

This Islam waged by Secret Services and NGOs is neither Sunni nor Shi’a because Sunni and Shi’s are not exclusive of one another but complement each other in every respect .

This is nothing but sectarian Islam that seeks the destruction of religion to make it co exist with Israel for which true committed Islam represents a real threat .

Sectarianism is nothing but the liquidation of the Palestinian and Arab cause at the hands of Zionists and their clientele all over the world .

He who does not recognize Islam as the religion of unity and solidarity and commitment that transgresses all differences will never know what Islam is, for Islam is something that will never-under any circumstance- coexist with something called Israel .

Let this be known to all sectarians- like Sheikh Raed Salah and the new convert Laura -who want to undermine the Resistance seeking a compromise with Israel at the expense of religion .

“Israeli Apartheid Week” Event at Middlesex Uni Wins Award

by Laura Stuart
Saturday, May 26th, 2012

Some might be looking forward to the Olympic Games in London this summer – but we have 3 even bigger champions to be proud of.
CHAMPIONS OF PALESTINIAN/HUMAN RIGHTS

Baroness Jenny Tonge – Ken O’Keefe and Dr Ghada Kharmi were the three speakers at an “Israeli Apartheid Week” event at Middlesex university. Now the Middlesex Student Union have voted this event

Watch Baroness Tonge’s talk here.
Watch Ken O’Keefe’s talk here.
Watch Dr Gharda Kharmi’s talk here.

Despite much gnashing of teeth by Israel supporters such as the Jewish Chronicle no breeches of the law were found by the police investigation. However, despite the fact that no hate speech or racism laws were broken Baroness Tonge had to resign from the Liberal Democrats which illustrated perfectly the fact that our own government takes its orders from Tel Aviv.

A SPECIAL PRIZE FOR THE LOSERS

Sour Grapes for ex Muslim Raheem Kassam and his so called anti extremist website, “Student Rights” (promoters of free speech [/sarcasm off]) for alerting us to the fact that the Free Palestine Society at Middlesex Uni had won the award, because without his website I might not have known.

The People of Bradford Vote for Change

by Laura Stuart The Respect Party has scored another victory in Bradford winning 5 seats in Bradford Council. The leader of Bradford Council Labour Candidate Ian Greenwood has also lost his seat.

Will the 3 main political parties in the U.K. get the message? The messages are many but the main points are that the people of Bradford are against the endless wars which have cross party support in the U.K. and also that we can’t see any difference to our lives which ever of the main parties is in power.
Muslims were traditionally Labour voters but the Labour party cannot count on that any more.

Muslims in Bradford have woken up to the fact that they can actually make a difference by getting out and voting, something which is controversial in itself as it is interpreted by some as wrong to be a participant in any form of goverment which is not shariah.

Laura Stuart: Why I Won’t Be At The Protest Today

Why Laura??” I ask 
“More than 60 years of protests and of petitions have not changed anything on the ground for the Palestinian people.” She claimed “As a Muslim I convinced that the situation in the Middle East will change only when the Muslims and particularly the Arabs decide they want to take action. When the Arabs and Muslims reach this point then as we have seen with the Arab Spring even the most vile and oppressive leaders and regimes can be toppled.” she added.

Laura is talking about Muslims and particularly Arabs, most likely she meant Arab Muslims, and unless she changed her mind she is taking about Arab Muslim brother, because, her Shaikh told her Success will never come from deviant sect like the Shia” (click the link and read my coment on that), In other words success will never come from Alawis in Syria, Shia in Iran and Lebanon, the Axis if resistance.

For Laura, like all Islamists, “Islam is the only solution”

“When the Arabs and Muslims reach this point then as we have seen with the Arab Spring even the most vile and oppressive leaders and regimes can be toppled.” she claimed.

Which regimes Laura?

Most likely, Laura is talking about Egypt and Tunis, where her brothers hijacked the half-revolution, and reached a conclusion: to govern we should respect the international agreements (Camp david), and Tunis constitution, where Israel is not an enemy. She meant also her Nato brothers in Libya, caught yesterday off Lebanese shores Smuggling Weapons to Syria, the Muslim land occupied by deviant sect.

Finally I agree with Laura, Islam is is the only solution, but in a country like Iran, in a country, like Lebanon and Syria, even in Egypt, Islam (I mean Colorblind islamist’s ISLAM) is the problem.
Resistance, starting with protest outside the Israeli embassy or Downing Street, all forms of popular resistance ending with armed resistance is the only solution. Zoom out of your dark veil. Its not black or white.

We should be standing up as Muslims (HUMANS), and believe that we can make a difference if we organise and unite.

“Islam the only solution”
Laura StuartToday there is a protest in London in support of the Palestinian Hunger Strikers, but I won’t be there. Not because I not totally against administrative detention and against the occupation, clearly administrative detention and occupation are morally wrong.
But I have come to the conclusion that such actions as protesting outside the Israeli embassy or Downing Street have zero value, of course it’s always nice to see my friends and fellow activists but I keep asking myself – what does this really achieve? I go home after such protest happy to have seen my friends but thinking so what really happened there? We waved a few banners and shouted a few chants but in reality nothing – absolutely nothing changed. More than 60 years of protests and of petitions have not changed anything on the ground for the Palestinian people.

As a Muslim I convinced that the situation in the Middle East will change only when the Muslims and particularly the Arabs decide they want to take action. When the Arabs and Muslims reach this point then as we have seen with the Arab Spring even the most vile and oppressive leaders and regimes can be toppled.

Also as a Muslim I feel that such organisations as the Palestine Solidarity Campaign have nothing to offer at all. This week for one example Sarah Colborne unfriended me on Facebook after she posted an article about B.B.C. bias – I asked her on the comments why she declines to mention the reason for this bias i.e. Jewish lobby groups such as B.I.C.O.M. however, apparently the words Jew or Jewish are totally verboten in the P.S.C. since it’s take over by Jewish lobby groups – read about that hereherehere and here.
So if Jews proudly identify as Jews and form Jew only groups such as “Jews for Justice for Palestine” or “JBig” or have Jews only ships sailing to Gaza then why am I not allowed to use the term Jewish lobby group? Surely they are exactly that?

The fact that Palestinians do not find themselves welcome in the P.S.C. has been written about extensively by Palestinians themselves and I would add to that the fact that P.S.C. do not really offer anything for Muslims either. We had better look into the teachings of Islam for a solution to injustice than expecting any solution from non Muslims. I wrote a few days ago and indeed many times how Western justice does not apply to Muslims read it here. We cannot forget that British politicians got the Palestinians into this mess and have continously failed to offer the Palestinian people any justice ever since, so why should anyone waste their time outside Downing Street? Perhaps it gives some people a feeling of having done something, however the results of such actions speak for themselves.

Definitely it is time that Palestinians and Muslims in the U.K. lost their fear of retribution from the Israeli controlled British Government and stopped hiding behind left wing organisations that claim to be against apartheid but appear to follow a very similar agenda to the Zionists by oppressing free speech. Such organisations as P.S.C. are part of the system of the oppressors and operate with the same methodology. We should be standing up as Muslims and believe that we can make a difference if we organise and unite.

If any Muslim really believes that the solution is going to come from a political or legal resolution then they must have had their heads buried in the sand to events of the last 60+ years. There is no solution coming from Cameron or Obama just as there was no solution from all the previous Prime Ministers or Presidents and with 80% of the Conservative M.P.s being members of Conservative Friends of Israel we should not be surprised.

Life & Death Under Siege in Gaza

by Laura Stuart
Wednesday, April 25th, 2012

Laura StuartWe in Britain are a nation of animal lovers, in fact we often seem to care more about animal rights than human suffering.
Stories of eccentric wealthy people leaving their fortune to cats’ homes and Brits opening up donkey santuaries in Cairo are typical manifestations of our love for “defenseless creatures” (of the non human variety). Perhaps we need to publicise the plight of animals in Gaza as a means of raising awareness on the effects of the illegal and immoral siege. Dead Muslims are just statistics, but animals looking a bit thin and siege-weary should cause absolute outrage here in the U.K.

For the citizens of Gaza, death is always close by – now even some of the animals in the zoo are dead! It would be impossible to shelter the children of Gaza from the reality of death, since it happens around them as a daily and weekly occurence – and I do not mean the death of elderly relatives. I mean that they witness the murder of their school mates shot in their class rooms, or children out picking up stones to earn money to feed the family. One of the great traumas for every Gazan parent is the knowledge that they are completely unable to save or protect their children from death at any moment, at the hands of the Israeli Occupation forces. This sad reality is something which parents living live in freedom and relative safety in the U.K. with our myriad of health and safety laws, would find impossible to comprehend.

Mater artium necessitas’ in Vulgaria – necessity is the mother of invention

Save the donkeys (and the humans)This surely should be the moto of Gaza and especially its zoo. a story I especially loved was that zebra-stripe painted donkeys a couple of years ago – you can read about that here.
A new threat is facing Gaza’s donkeys since the rise of the “Tuk Tuk” which are smuggled through the tunnels from Egypt and run on very cheap fuel.
What is going to happen to all of those redundent donkeys now? I think this is a question that will trouble many of our most ardent activists for animal rights in the West. Who knows, perhaps animal rights activists might find a way to end the siege where we activists for human rights have failed. I really hope they join us in the struggle.

Galloway: ‘I’m better Pakistani than Hussain’

As a great shock to both pro-Israel British government and official Opposition – the maverick George Galloway returned to British parliament from Bradford West constituency by securing 56% majority. A great majority of Muslim residents of Bradford West (38%) voted for George Galloway against fellow Muslim Labour candidate Imran Hussain, a Pakistani Muslim Tom. In one of his speeches Galloway told his audience: “I am a better Pakistani than Hussain (the pro-war Labour candidate) will ever be”. Watch the video below.

The frustrated Israel lobby groups immediately called George Galloway; “a Jew hater”, a “secret Muslim” like Barack Obama, supporter of “terrorist groups”, such as Hamas and Hizbullah and “anti-British” for working with Iran’s Press TV.

Laura Staurt wrote in deLiberation (April 1, 2012) that whining by Zionist-controlled British media proves that George Galloway’s victory is “apparently not good for the pro-Israel Jews“.

So the Zionist media and the pro-Israel blogs are spitting out endless bile and lies against George Galloway as to the reasons he might have won so descively in Bradford West, which can only mean one thing “George Galloway’s return to the House of Westminister in NOT GOOD FOR THE JEWS,” wrote Laura.

George Galloway will hopefully be a strong voice against the war on Iran which Israel wants its proxies to fight for them. Enough war and enough pointless deaths – it’s time politicians concentrate in getting Britain back on its feet,” added Laura.

Mike Freer M.P. – Coming to Finchley Masjid Again

by Laura Stuart

Laura StuartMonday, April 9th, 2012
A few months ago Mike Freer Conservative M.P. for Finchley and Golders Green, a man in my opinion who is very deserving of the title “Shabbos Goy”, came to Finchley Masjid. Some Muslims objected to this beforehand, however, the Management Committee of the masjid refused to consider the wishes of the Muslims instead insisting that those with a grievance should come and confront Mike Freer directly and not the committee, the result of this confrontation, according to “Mad Mel” made Finchley a “no go area” for non-Muslims. Since Finchley is a beacon of Jewish/Muslim co existance and tolerance this must surely be hysteria on a grand scale and also totally false. Because of his rabidly pro-Israel stance and specifically his actions against Sheik Raed Salah he was not a welcome figure to those Muslims who stand for Truth Justice and Peace.

So let us see exactly what Mike Freer is all about.

Mike Freer M.P. Conservative Friend of Israel
Mike Freer stood in the House of Commons and said the following
MP Mike Freer asked Home Secretary Theresa May about the case in the Commons on Monday, accusing Sheikh Salah of having a “history of virulent antisemitism“.
As we now know this is a false accusation since Sheik Raed Salah has been completely cleared of all of the accusations made against him – not only that but the judge said that the Home Secretary was misled by C.S.T. – read all about it here

Mike Freer has been called “a friend” on the C.S.T. website
From the outset, however, it would not have been possible without support from John Mann and the Parliamentary Committee Against Antisemitism. Other MPs from all political parties have also made invaluable contributions, both of moral encouragement and practical input. In particular, Mike Freer and Matthew Offord provided outstanding support whilst they were still Barnet councillors, and then after their election to Parliament.

Mike Freer has also suggested in the House of Commons that the goods into Gaza should perhaps be increased – he does not specify how many calories per day they should be increased to, although according to this analysis the citizens of Gaza get more than they would have in Auschwitz. Anyway, here is his statement:

Mike Freer: Will my hon. Friend update the House on what steps have been taken, and what more can be done, to increase the flow of goods into the Palestinian territories?

Absolutely no reference there to the issue of free movement or the ability to trade with the outside world or rebuild their bombed homes, or goods outward -so caring of Mike Freer. Keep the Gazans on a diet and in prison Mike!

Read here an article I posted on deLiberation previously on Mike Freer’s lack of understanding the difference between legal and illegal with regard to the Israeli settlements

I am grateful to my hon. Friend for obtaining this important debate. It is important that we have balanced debate on the peace talks. Does he agree that a strong Prime Minister goes into negotiations defending the national interest with clear red lines and that that is the secret to good negotiation? Asking one side to give up all its bargaining chips, such as settlements, in advance of negotiations, is clearly nonsense.

Mike Freer came to Finchley masjid a few months ago and went to the media with some wild accusations of being called a “Jewish Homosexual Pig“, Mike Freer is not Jewish, but then no one who was present except him heard it, although there was one man there who got upset and shouted “where is the Jew” he was restrained by his friends. Mike Freer is openly gay according to his profile on Wikipedia but these were not the issues that people were concerned about, it is his political leanings that really are so pro-Israel and anti-Muslim to such a degree that he recently attempted to convince the House of Commons that Netanyahu is demonised and promoted Israel as a “beacon of democracy”

Mike Freer:My hon. Friend makes a good point. Prime Minister Netanyahu is often demonised. I have no doubt that he can be a forceful and difficult character, but would people not want their Prime Minister to be forceful and to stand up for their security when their country was in an almost permanent state of war and they were fielding suicide bombers and missiles fired into their territory?
The hon. Member for Barrow and Furness made the good point that we have to remember that Israel is a beacon of democracy in a part of the world where democracy is in short supply. Religious minorities of whatever shape or flavour have freedoms. Minorities have freedoms, to pursue their religion or their sexuality, and even to stand for Parliament. It does not really matter what shape, colour or religion someone is; they have the ability to follow their beliefs, and that is not seen elsewhere.

Regular deLiberation readers and commentators will have got the measure of exactly where Mike Freer M.P. stands now, we can perhaps assume that he receives his orders from Tel Aviv. I just need to clarify how I can call him a “shabbos goy“, my understanding is that to qualify for this label you have serve Jews for a financial gain or reward. A quick look at “They Work for You” helps us out here with the listing of a donation by none other than Chaim Zabludowicz, ( read an article by Inayat Bunglawala called “Were Liam Fox and Adam Werritty Mossad’s ‘Useful Idiots’?) the man believed to the the financial backer of Werrity, friend of the former disgraced British Defence Minister Liam Fox. Zabludowicz is the Chairman and a founder of B.I.C.O.M. a pro Israeli lobby group which amongst other things advises the B.B.C. on how to present Israel in a positive light – please read an excellent article by Gilad “How Israel Runs the British Press
From the “They Work for You” website

So having given an outline of Mike Freer M.P. and his activities, the real question is why would the Management Committee of North Finchley Mosque allow such a man to set foot inside? Some of the people in the community emailed their concerns about Mike Freer before his last appearance in the masjid but they were met with very evasive tactics by the Committee. In fact the Committee were willing to conceal the fact that no-one was in the slightest bit interested in giving Mike Freer the chance to say he has “excellent relations with the Muslim community in Finchley and especially the mosque management committee”. The committee tried to say no one other than myself had contacted them to express their concerns, which is an absolute lie.
Mike Freer clearly has a lot to gain by being able to say he provides an “advice clinic” for local Muslims in Finchley masjid. Ironically, his office is just around the corner – easy to find for any Muslim with a problem (as long as it is local and not about foreign policy)! But quite who and what the Management Committee are gaining, remains unclear. One suggestion is that one member of the Management Committee is looking to pursue a position as a councillor. It is always sad and disheartening to see Muslims put morals aside and to welcome those to the masjid who support the leaders of the occupation, oppression and ethnic cleansing of our brothers and sisters in Palestine. The committee believe that if they are nice to Mike Freer he may become a Muslim. I would suggest they go and talk to him about Islam in his office (the numbers and address are on his website so they can make an appointment), Mike Freer can hardly refuse some heavy proselytizing when the Committee have put out the welcome-mat for him so often – and don’t forget to take some curry our local Tableegh Jamaat group firmly believe in the power of curry to persuade those who are astray from the right path!

لَّا يَنْهَاكُمُ اللَّـهُ عَنِ الَّذِينَ لَمْ يُقَاتِلُوكُمْ فِي الدِّينِ وَلَمْ يُخْرِجُوكُم مِّن دِيَارِكُمْ أَن تَبَرُّوهُمْ وَتُقْسِطُوا إِلَيْهِمْ ۚ إِنَّ اللَّـهَ يُحِبُّ الْمُقْسِطِينَ ﴿٨
Allah does not forbid you from those who do not fight you because of religion and do not expel you from your homes – from being righteous toward them and acting justly toward them. Indeed, Allah loves those who act justly.
إِنَّمَا يَنْهَاكُمُ اللَّـهُ عَنِ الَّذِينَ قَاتَلُوكُمْ فِي الدِّينِ وَأَخْرَجُوكُم مِّن دِيَارِكُمْ وَظَاهَرُوا عَلَىٰ إِخْرَاجِكُمْ أَن تَوَلَّوْهُمْ ۚ وَمَن يَتَوَلَّهُمْ فَأُولَـٰئِكَ هُمُ الظَّالِمُونَ ﴿٩
[60:9]
Allah only forbids you from those who fight you because of religion and expel you from your homes and aid in your expulsion – [forbids] that you make allies of them. And whoever makes allies of them, then it is those who are the wrongdoers.
