There is No “Radical Islam” and There is Also No “Moderate Islam”

Beginning more or less with 9/11, the expression “radical Islam” became the accepted way for the media, politicians and public to define the religious and ideological foundations of Islam-based violence when referring to what the world calls “terror.” This expression was meant to be contrasted with “moderate Islam” which presents Muslims as ordinary people who wish to live in peace with all of mankind – Christians, Jews, Buddhists, unbelievers and the rest of us. The world created the image of two Islams, one radical and impossible to live with, and one moderate and “just like us.”
This differentiation between “radical” and “moderate” Islam is what gave rise to the claim that Islam had been “hijacked” by the radicals, implying that the real and original Islam is the moderate, not the false, radical one.
This is what allows today’s Europe to relate positively to the wave of mostly-Muslim illegal immigrants washing up on its shores – they represent “moderate Islam” and all they want is to live in peace and harmony with their European neighbors.
Permit me to raise some doubts concerning the psychological mindset that claims the existence of two types of Islam. In order to do this, let us clarify an important point: Islam is a text-based framework of ideas and behaviors, covering religion, culture, strictures, politics, law and economics. It is an all-embracing way of life. The most basic text is the Qu’ran, followed by the Hadith (oral law) and the Sura – biography – of Muhammad. The Sharia, Muslim law, is a system of binding laws and injunctions that Muslims are obliged to obey.
There are no two Islams, no moderate one and no radical one, there is just one Qu’ran that includes everything: verses on Jihad and all out war against unbelievers along with verses that speak of recognizing the “other” and living beside him.
There are no two types of hadith, one radical and the other moderate; there is just one body of hadith that includes everything, both violent and moderate ideas.
Muhammad does not have a moderate biography and a radical one; there is only one life story of the prophet of Islam and it has stories that express a radical, violent approach and others presenting a moderate one.
There is also just one Sharia that includes everything, from the radical cutting off of a thief’s hands to the unquestionably moderate admonition to care for the poor and indigent.
That being the case, there is no “moderate Islam” and no “radical Islam”, just one Islam that incorporates both terms, ranging from extreme radicalism to extreme moderation. In practice, we see people with different cultures, some of them extremists and some moderates, all finding verses,ideas, precedents and laws that support their views on life and society in the same Qu’ran, Hadith, Sura and Sharia. The radical Muslim chooses to quote sources that support his extremist approach, while the moderate Muslim finds sources to buttress his moderate approach.
Those two Muslims, the most extreme and the most moderate, are “kosher”, because they both rely on legitimate Islamic sources, and neither can claim that the other “hijacked” Islam. All the Muslims in the world, all one and a half billion of them, men, women and children, are to be found somewhere on the moderate-extremist continuum. They may live alone or as part of families, tribes, organizations and societies.
Islamic State is a state established and continuing its operations with the participation and cooperation of a large body of Muslims and converts to Islam who are on the extremist tip of the continuum. Al Qaeda is right there next to them, as are Hamas, Hezbollah and all the other terrorist organizations. On the other end of the continuum, the moderate one, are the members of the “Muslims for Tomorrow” organization, a totally moderate group of Muslims living in Toronto, Canada.
Along the scale connecting the endpoints of the continuum, one can find all the other Muslims in the world, each one on a point of his choosing, somewhere between radicalism and moderation. His place on the continuum is a dynamic, not a static one, and a once moderate Muslim can undergo a process of radicalization, while another, who was an extreme radical can change his views and become more moderate. Life has a way of moving people along the continuum, making it harder to predict the future of an individual or group.
Moderate Muslim migrants live in harmony with the foreign societies to which they have migrated. They blend in nicely, work for a living, are law abiding and contribute to the economy and society that absorbs them. More radical Muslims who migrate to new societies tend to live in the enclaves that preserve their culture and way of life, only partially blending into society and the work force and constantly attempting to influence and change for their own ends the society that let them in. If they are on the violent side of the continuum, that violence will be turned on the society that accepted them – a fact that is most evident in today’s Europe.

[h=1]Four men arrested in counter-terror operation appear in court[/h]
Four men arrested in the UK following an international counter-terrorism operation have appeared in court to face extradition proceedings to Italy.
Bakr Hamad, 38, of Hull, Sharif Kadir, 52, of Sheffield, Zana Rahim, 32, of Derby and Awat Hamasalih, 33, of Birmingham, appeared at Westminster Magistrates' Court on Friday.
All four refused to consent to extradition when appearing in court.
The men are due to appear before magistrates again on 20 November.
They were arrested on Thursday on European Arrest warrants.
During their court appearance, their lawyers indicated they may challenge their extradition because of the risk of "refoulement", which the United Nations defines as "the expulsion of persons who have the right to be recognised as refugees".
The men were held as part of raids in six European countries, led by Italian authorities and connected to a suspected "jihadist network", Rawti Shax, which is said to be seeking to establish a caliphate in Iraq's Kurdistan region.
The group was allegedly plotting to free its leader, Mullah Krekar, who is in detention in Norway.
[h=2]Recruiting pipeline[/h]Suspects were also arrested in Italy and Norway, while authorities in Italy, Germany, Finland, Norway, Switzerland and the UK also searched a total of 26 properties.
BBC security correspondent Frank Gardner said there was no suggestion any of those arrested were planning attacks in the UK.
Their focus appeared to have been in the Middle East, he added, with the investigation aimed at breaking up an international recruiting pipeline that was sending jihadists to join the Islamic State and Al-Nusra organisations - both proscribed terrorist organisations - in Iraq and Syria.
Eurojust, the EU agency which co-ordinated the European raids, said suspected leaders and several members of the group were arrested during simultaneous activity in the six countries.
It added: "The arrested persons are charged with international terrorism."
The operation, which follows several years of work by investigators, was launched under the direction of the Public Prosecution Office in Rome.
Image copyrightReutersImage captionMullah Krekar is currently in detention in NorwayMullah Krekar went to Norway as a refugee in 1991 from Iraq and founded radical Islamist group Ansar al-Islam, although he later tried to distance himself from it.
Norwegian authorities have been trying to deport him since 2003 after deeming him a threat to national security.
Eurojust said Rawti Shax, or Didi Nwe, meaning the "new course" or "towards the mountain", represented an "evolution of Ansar al-Islam", which is listed by the UN as a terrorist organisation affiliated with al-Qaeda.
It says the group has a "primary objective" which is to "violently overthrow the current Iraqi Kurdish government and replace it with a caliphate governed by Sharia law".
It also alleged that the group was active in providing logistical and financial support for the recruitment of foreign fighters to be sent to Syria and Iraq, and also had the intent of training them for a future conflict in Kurdistan.

MAN arrested in Hull as part of a major counter-terrorism investigation has appeared in court.
Bakr Hamad, 38, is facing extradition to Italy where he has been accused of 'international terrorism'.
Hamad, (pictured below), appeared at Westminster Magistrates Court this afternoon along with three other men, Sharif Kadir, 52, of Sheffield, Zana Rahim, 32, of Derby and Awat Hamasalih, 33, of Birmingham.

[FONT=open_sans]
All four were arrested after a series of in simultaneous raids across Europe in which a total of 17 people were arrested. The North East Counter Terrorism Unit led the arrest operation in Hull supported by officers from Humberside Police.
The operation was described as "the most important international police operation in Europe in 20 years".
The men have been linked to a Kurdish terrorist organisation Rawti Shax, which is linked to al-Qaeda and the Ansar al-Islam Islamic group.
European prosecutors said the arrests involved plots to recruit suicide bombers, target western diplomats and spread international terror inspired by the leader of Rawto Shax, Najmuddin Ahmad Faraj – also known as Mullah Krekar (pictured below).
In court Hamad and his three co-accused refused to consent to extradition to Italy which is leading the investigation.
Their lawyers indicated they may challenge the extradition request because they hold refugee status.
The men are due to appear before magistrates again next Friday.

[h=1]Chilling new face of police in Britain: New counter terrorism 'robocops' dressed in military fatigues and armed with semi-automatic rifles deployed at Wembley[/h]
PUBLISHED: 00:13, 18 November 2015 | UPDATED: 02:11, 18 November 2015
She is the new face of British policing.
Armed to the teeth and sporting military fatigues and a combat helmet, the officer is part of a counter-terrorism unit unveiled at Wembley last night.
The elite Scotland Yard squad arrived in huge armoured vehicles to throw a ring of steel around the 80,000 fans watching England beat France.

The marksmen were also toting their new lightweight, semi-automatic SIG 516 rifle.
The 130-strong unit has been developing new tactics with UK special forces, including abseiling from helicopters and tackling rampaging gunmen.
They have been trained to shoot for the head instead of the usual target, the chest.
They came out of the shadows in the wake of the massacre of 129 people in Paris on Friday.
The heightened terror threat was confirmed last night when another friendly – between Germany and the Netherlands – was called off very late because of a ‘concrete’ bomb threat.
No risks were taken because three of the seven Paris suicide bombers had targeted a fixture at the Stade de France between France and Germany.
Last night’s match began with English and French fans uniting to sing France’s national anthem, La Marseillaise.
One expert described the counter-terrorism officers at Wembley as ‘effectively SAS officers in police uniform’.
Amid some of the tightest security ever seen at a sporting fixture, they took up key positions around the ground.
Many of the officers chose to cover their faces because they sometimes work undercover.
Their new weapon was selected to boost the power of police to respond to armed threats with increased accuracy while allowing them to move in confined spaces.
Their distinctive Jankel vans were last seen on the streets of the capital during the 2011 riots.
The huge US trucks are effectively armoured vehicles, with huge amounts of space for officers and equipment.
Commenting on their weapons, firearms expert Mike Yardley said: ‘I have not seen these on the streets of London before. It is a carbine [light] version of a military assault rifle.
'It could be used to engage targets up to 100 metres away and is highly accurate. It is an ideal weapon for the Met.’
Another expert added: ‘These officers work hand in glove with special forces, training with them week in, week out.
‘The goal is for them to work side by side, sharing weapons, ammunition and tactics to defeat our most dangerous threats.’

There is concern that there are not enough firearms officers to counter a similar threat to Paris and they that could be outgunned by militants with battlefield weapons.
But senior officers say they are confident their officers can handle any threat, including a gang of marauding suicide bombers armed with AK-47s.
This summer they held an exercise in which assault rifle-wielding gunmen attacked a Tube station and took dozens of people hostage.
It demonstrated a new stage in British policing tactics in which officers abandoned ‘contain and negotiate’ in favour of an aggressive attack.
Officers were seen using ballistic shields of the kind used in Paris to directly confront the gunmen within minutes.

[h=3]MET SPECIALISTS' RIFLE DEADLY ACCURATE FROM 100 YARDS AWAY[/h]The gun issued to the Met’s specialist counter-terrorism firearms team is a SIG 516 assault rifle. It is semi-automatic, meaning it is capable of a high rate of fire, but is not a fully automatic machine gun that ‘sprays’ bullets.
This allows it to fire off rapidly but highly accurately to a range of 100 yards. It carries a magazine of 30 rounds, firing 5.56mm bullets. The weapon, manufactured by US firearms firm SIG Sauer, has an aluminium and hardened plastic body so it is tough but lightweight. It weighs 7.31lb and is 35 inches long.
The Met Police said it was chosen after ‘intensive’ testing and that it increases their ability ‘to respond to armed threats, through improved accuracy and ease of handling in confined spaces’. It is illegal for civilians to have one.

Palestinians: Our Kids Have Right to Stone Jews

Earlier this month, Israel’s Knesset enacted a minimum prison term for minors who throw stones and firebombs at vehicles. An outraged Palestinian Authority called the measure “punitive and racist.” face)(*^%
Stoning attacks in Israel go largely unreported, but on average there are several such incidents every day. The perpetrators are usually Palestinian Arab youth, and their victims are almost always Israeli Jewish motorists.
A number of these attacks have resulted in severe injuries and deaths, including Jewish children.
There are certain areas of Jerusalem that the police, ambulances and other public services simply won’t enter for fear of being stoned.
But engaging in such violence is the “right” of every Palestinian Arab child, insisted the Palestinian Authority’s Committee on Prisoners.
The committee accused the Israelis of attempting to “deprive Palestinian children of their ability to exercise their rights in an attempt to kill their sense of belonging to their land.”

All non muslims are destined to burn in the hell fire - they don't have to respect the laws of the land if those laws are not Islamic - I would hope that we never tolerate them and never allow them here - not matter how hip liberals think it is - they need to know we are not England or France and that they are not welcome here - we don't need to be their enemy but they need to know we are not friends
