 RetweetCBC National: Why We Don't Hear from Moderate Muslims

Thu, Mar 8, 2007 at 5:51:58 pm PST

CBC program The National has an uncommonly honest look at the infiltration of Canadian mosques by militant Islamic front groups, and their threatening behavior toward less extreme Muslims. Scary and worth watching. (In two parts.)

(2) smaller governement
(3) individual state rights
(4) less governmental intrusion into the personal lives of citizens?
(5) A robust war on Terror

I feel sorry for the tiny minority of moderates in Islam. It's impossible to watch that story and conclude the majority of Muslims are anything approaching ready for democracy and freedom. The beard laughs at his ability to use 'freedom' to intimidate people.

And now I realize that Bedier was threatening the hell out of the participants at the Secular Islam Summit by saying they don't practice Islam. That's the shrewd taqiyyalope way of calling them apostates and unleashing the hordes to do the dirty work - another CAIR death fatwa.

Two Muslim mothers in Sweden on Wednesday lost a discrimination case against an indoor swimming pool where the lifeguards had asked them to remove their veils and body-covering clothing.

The Gothenburg court ruled the municipal pool had not discriminated against the women.

Both women arrived at the court shortly after the verdict was announced. Houda Morabet explained that she took great offence when asked to leave the swimming pool.

"Now it is even worse. Most of all I am disappointed by how the justice system has worked," she said.

Reminds me of that old saw about the 98% of lawyers ruining it for the good ones.

I do believe that the majority of Muslims don't espouse or engage in violence, but until such time as they take an ACTIVE stance is stopping the ones who do, they are not much more than enablers. . .part of the problem, not the solution.

Having viewed these, it is much easier to understand WHY Muslims killed the One Promised by Jesus, when He came at the time Jesus said He would; May 23, 1844.

Muslim clergy called Him apostate, NOT the Forerunner of the Glory of God, NOT the One promised as the Qa'im, the Point round Whom circle all the Messengers of God, NOT a good human and definitely NOT A MUSLIM!

So they killed Him, July 9, 1850; by firing squad; the SECOND 750 riflemen who fired on Him at point-blank range, because the FIRST 750 were Armenian Christians, and their musket-fire only freed Him!

Muslims "have the right, the obligation to warn & kill, if necessary" when they think somebody is DEVIATING from the one true path, and if (Baha'is) claim that the Glory of God HAS come, that is saying The Mahdi HAS come, and WE do not acknowledge that, THEREFORE He has NOT come, therefore we kill Baha'is!

...and moderate Muslims, rational Muslims, Christians, JEWS, homos, albinos, retards, polocks, beaners, geeks, nerds, dweebs and, uhm, ANYBODY that humiliates me!

33 mj  Thu, Mar 8, 2007 4:25:38pm

Clearly the sympathy of the reporter was for the
"moderate" Muslims.
However, for every 100 moderate Muslims who speak out against the "conservatives", there is probably 1 Muslim who agrees with the "moderates" but remains silent. For every "conservative Muslim" who disagrees with the moderates, there are probably 100,000 Muslims who agree with the "conservatives".

The report should have traced the funding for these "conservative" Imans". It's a sure bet that their money comes from the Saudis.

Sayyid Qutb's neat little rhetorical trick of defining "apostates" as those who disagree with you, thereby neatly circumventing the ban on killing other Muslims, continues unabated, apparently.

The bottom line is: those who argue the more extremist take on Islam have the right of it according to the Koran and hadith.

58 godziller  Thu, Mar 8, 2007 4:48:14pm

Pretty soon Muslims in the West will have to clearly define their cherished term "good Muslim". When they emphatically oppose wars against "Muslims" in Iraq and Afghanistan, are they implying that the Taliban, Sadaam, and the murderous death squads roaming Iraq that are being fought by Western forces are "good Muslims"?

Muslims must clearly state if they think that "good Muslims" are those that engage in beheadings, suicide bombings of markets, intentional mass slaughter of unarmed civilians, and utter contempt, violence, and hatred towards non-Muslims as long as they adhere to absolutist and literal interpretations of centuries old religious dogma.

These are bad Muslims, and any "good Muslim" should stand up and say so, and be thankful that non-Muslims are fighting them.

Homicidal suicide and wanton hatred is far worse than the separation of church and state and the tolerance of beliefs other than your own in your midst.

Islam needs a civil war.

Until that time, exposing and ridding the planet of those that bad Muslims call "good Muslims" is required.

Absolutely and literally.

Pay attention, everyone -- the "moderates" featured in this video actually seem moderate.

They're anti-sharia, pro seperation of church/state, and have been threatened and beat up by the extremists.

They tried to get legislators to classify "apostate killing" as a hate crime.

It's rare to find true moderate muslims, so catch them while you can.

Somebody needs to tell that smug asshole with the hat that Islam, historically, has been tolerant of others from time to time. It's not without precedent. I wonder what he would say if he was told that the current strain of radicalism in Islam was originally funded and organized by Nazi Germany.

None of what's happening in this report is news to LGF readers. Love the deflections from the fundies too: "I never said that", "We never threatened anybody", yadda yadda. The usual dosage of lies and deflections from the Islamists.

Not Greeks, not Italians, etc., no matter how far they stray are ostracized like these fascist muslims. If they want to practice their sick Sharia laws, they should board a plane leave and go back to their fun-loving camel-humping countries. It's that simple. If a moderate muslim wants to speak out in a democratic country, he/she has every right. This whole issue should be a no-brainer. Our laws should be tightly enforced and any signs of Sharia should be dealt with the full force of our laws. We should be sending these muslim extremists a bold message. Get the f**k outta here.

Because they have heads on their shoulders and want to keep them there (avoid the beheadings).

A minority of Muslims ≤ 49% who are violent and view death as a reward to an eternal whorehouse, intimidate and commit atrocities against the non-radical Muslims and Infidels.

The sins on earth these Muslims so readily condemned and killed for are now their rewards in heaven.

Unfortunately, this fanaticism is validated in their holy book the koran and there is the problem.

For the statistically challenged: Should only 1% of mos worldwide be considered extreme, we're still looking at more than 1 million Islamic soldiers who want to kill us for not believing as they do. I suspect the figure of 1% to be conservative.

As this is my 500th post, a little Infidelic self-congratulatory devil's brew (beer) is in order:). Can anyone out there recommend a good Jewish beer please?

Pay attention, everyone -- the "moderates" featured in this video actually seem moderate.

That's the part I like. Any muslim denouncing sharia law and wanting to live under the rules set up by Western societies gets my attention. It may seem like a small step but looking back over the last 5-6 years, I think this kind of news is big.

Mainstream Islamic: "We are the experts, no one else is qualified to voice an opinion. We don't have to debate moderates. They are simply wrong, do not represent mainstream Islam, and are beneath notice. Are you trying to tell us we don't have a right to silence them?"

Wow, they sure are compelling advocates for their side of the non-debate! That is if you admire arrogant a**holes with weird beards.

Hi all,

I am attempting to enlighten a friend who claims to be mostly apolitical. I am looking for a couple of websites that are in my bookmarks in my other computer, and I am unable to remember them precisely.

One is the site that lists all terrorist attacks worldwide ...its the older site, not the latest one that Ginn posted with the map and the flashing points. I believe it is somethingortheother religionofpeace.com? The other is an online version of the Quran ...an .edu site, IIRC.

Appreciate your help!

Thanks for posting those Charles.

Watched both - I feel for the moderate Muslims in that they are under pressure - but more power to them for voicing their opinions and persisting. I wish there was something more I could do to help people like this, so they'd know they are not alone in this quest.

Abertanator, same for me.
I was shocked that it was CBC that actually aired this.
Wonder what happened there?
At first glance really thought it was a typo in the headline and was suppose to be CBS.

Ratherdashing also agree here.
Good to see and need to see lots more of this.
Banishment of 'sharia law' is a key point of moderate Muslims.

In regards to the smirky, extremist iman, something about him is seriously wrong besides the words spilling from his mouth. He's one to keep the eye on, his supposed 'good guy' role in the recent terrorist plots has me wondering just how involved he was. Did he set this all up? After watching him interviewed a couple of times now, I don't doubt he's capable and motivated.

101 Grumpy Tory Student  Thu, Mar 8, 2007 9:11:29pm

I should say, it would make more sense to hold a strict libertarian line. I'm all for a robust WoT, but hate crime laws are a bunch of double-standard BS which serve as tools to create different codes of conduct for different levels of society. Using them in the capacity suggested by the moderates necesssarily welcomes their abuse against far more innocent targets.

My solution: let them call each other apostates or whatever the hell they want. If Islam is really represented by the "conservative" factions, all the better that they become more overtly prolific to undermine the standard "religion of peace" apologism.

And besides, as long as we maintain the value of freedom - freedom to portray whatever religious figure we want being just one tiny portion - we'll win this. Freedom has always trumped fascism, and it will, so long as we maintain the will to keep it.

Besides, if it comes down to a choice between oppressive orthodoxy on one hand and a Saturday nights on St. Catherine's Street in Montreal, we'll whittle away against the Islamofascist base in no time flat. :)

Why don't we hear from moderate Muslims?


Why doesn't Katie Couric ever interview one of those extraterrestrials that we all know the government is hiding in Area 57?
Why don't we ever hear from all the members of Code Pink who made the finals of the Miss America pageant?

I couldn't watch the second video in its entirety, but Big Beard with the skullcap came off as real ass.

That guy, Mubeen Shaikh (or however it's spelled), came across like the thug he is. But I'll admit, he's just following the sterling example set by his prophet...

104 Joan Not of Arc  Fri, Mar 9, 2007 3:09:50am

This did not even go near the truth of Islam and the fundamentalism that goes with it. CBC, as usual, skirts around the issues with its usual multicultural, liberal spin which they confuse as objectivity and fairness. As was posted before, they will be right back to defending this death cult.

105 Hot Rod Kid  Fri, Mar 9, 2007 3:45:02am

Many, many years ago when I was a kid in college I heard an Eastern Indian guru say somethng like, "The longer the beard of the holy man, the more suspicious you should be of him."

After observing Islam the past 10 years I'd add to that, "The more they cover their faces with hair and clothing, the more they are filled with intolerance for others outside their tribe."

106 Kenneth  Fri, Mar 9, 2007 4:01:56am

The woman interviewed in the report, Haideh Moghissi. a professor at York University, is a critic of some aspects of fundementalist Islam, but she has also said & written some less than "moderate" things.

Asked for comment about a recent poll of Muslim Canadians what she thought about the 12% of respondents who agreed the people arrested in the "Toronto 18" terror plot to bomb public buildings and behead the PM, were "at least somewhat justified in their actions" Moghissi answered,

"It's really negligible that 12 percent feel that the attacks would be justified," said Moghissi. "I don't think it even warrants attention."

Personally, I don't see how ignoring reality is a wise response to the problem.

That man, Mubin Shaikh , is not well regarded by the police who used his services. He has been described as dishonest and motivated only for money. He is not a "good guy", but he is more likely a rival extremist who wanted to eliminate a rival group, make some money and give himself some cover.

You might want to try the Skeptic's Annotated Quran. There's a menu on the right for categories such as, injustice, Intolerance, Cruelty and Violence, etc. But be warned, the skeptics who put this project together are pretty anti-religion, there's a Skeptics Bible and a skeptic's Book of Mormon too.

109 TickingBo  Fri, Mar 9, 2007 4:40:03am

They are getting dissent voices! And the dissenters claim to be muslims. Islam seems not to be immune to internal discord.

"For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction." The more they confront us, the more dissent they'll get in their midst.

Don't yoou know you aren't allowed to imply anything good about any form of islam at any time or place anywhere in the universe?

So disingenuous. Did you watch these videos?

The islamists view deviation from the koran as a sin, punishable by death. The islamists use the koran to call these "moderates" apostates. The islamists use the koran to justify threatening and harming these "apostates". The islamists use intimidation to silence these "apostates". These "apostates" are the very people I stated I hoped would be liberated from their islamic hell, Judith. I would consider getting death threats for opposing shari'a as a form of this islamic hell. You use your post to attack me when I'm not even here, while distorting my position on islamic apostates and the evils of islam. You've squandered this opportunity to enlighten yourself to the very real danger islamists pose to moderate muslims (such as your friends) who, if you'd open your eyes, you'd realize I support.

Every fiber in the Islam Preacher's being represents hostility. His body language, tone of voice, slick verbage, and glares all represent a potentially menacing dude.

112 MoonbatBane  Fri, Mar 9, 2007 5:51:14am

That stupid woman near the start said that she didn't think the extremists were silencing those trying to be moderate as part of an "organized campaign."

Unbelievable. It most certainly is organized. It goes by many names, for example wahabbism. And it is a LARGE part of Islam -- in fact, it's devout Islam that just follows the koran literally. It's well funded by our "friends" the Saudis. To say it's not organized is just plain denying the facts.

How can a so-called expert be so daft?!

An "expert" can be so daft the same way our wackademia and MSM and intelligentsia can be marching lockstep with totalitarianism (Chavez, Ahmadinejad, Al Qaeda, Taliban) and consider crazy any who disagree (President Bush and all who support fighting such totalitarians secular & jihadist).

Until these fundamentalists are treated as the Mafia that they are, we will continue to have problems. I could care less what anyone believes or does not believe. I have read the Koran and and slowly working my way through Al-Bakari's Hadith. But when any group uses physical coercion to enforce its believe system it is no longer a religion. It is best a cult. I am glad that this was aired. Its about time some of the MSM in America put this sort of stuff on the air too so that the ignorant among the American public understand what they are up against. This is Mafia omerta in religion, no more. no less. Not unique to Muslims either. Other cults have practiced it. But for the most part those cults are past tense. Islam as practiced by these Nazi cultists is not.

Hopefully, people will start to get pro-active in suing CAIR. Granted CAIR has deep pockets, but the are advocates of what constitutes hate crimes.

Somebody needs to tell that smug asshole with the hat that Islam, historically, has been tolerant of others from time to time. It's not without precedent

Oh my. Now you've done it! Don't yoou know you aren't allowed to imply anything good about any form of islam at any time or place anywhere in the universe? That's one of the "rules". As soon as yoou do, some people around here will jump all over you and label you as a terrorist enabler (and other less pleasant terms)...

nextstopmars was and is factually correct. From you're response, it looks like you think that you are posting on Daily Kos or somesuch, where dissent is first attacked and then banned. We don't demand groupthink here -- we leave that to the brain-dead left...

This is Mafia omerta in religion, no more. no less.

Rudy Giuliani during the Reagan Administration helped vigorously prosecute the Mafia using the newly enacted RICO (racketeering influenced crime organization) statutes--something Bobby Kennedy never did!

Interesting to note that the response of "moderate" Muslims is to ignore the hate-filled rants from the minbar, rather than standing up for their principles.

Sins of omission will get you sins of commission (beatings, beheadings, etc.)

Who among us didn't do likewise--bite our tongues--in our own Western culture when we were young & foolish & wanted to "fit in" with secular "progressives" who seemed to be the mainstream in school, work, place of worship? I wasn't always brave (or foolish) enough to stand up for my 180 degree more traditional values.

Luckily the "silent" majority in this country was able to vote by secret ballot and elect Non-McGovern, non-Carter presidents despite the pressure to go with the go-go candidates our media minarets called on us to bow down before.

I think Judith's real problem is she didn't have a means to refute me in a previous thread (and she still doesn't) so she's turned to the "victim" ploy. She was "jumped" (because posters have never disagreed with each other before on LGF) and called names (I called her tactic elitist) and then she distorts what I posted (which I why I linked to my comments) because she cannot grasp what it is I'm trying to tell her.

She states her muslim friends practice a form of islam. The islamists would consider this zandaqa (heresy), and when I try to inform her of this, I become the bad guy instead of the islamists hell bent on silencing, intimidating, and threatening her friends. In her mind, I'm a bigot for calling moderate muslims by the name the islamists give them- apostates, and she fails to realize my support of islamic apostates is in fact support for moderate muslims such as her friends and the people in the video above.

I wonder when the Canadian TV series Little Mosque on the Prairie will have some smiling, fun loving jihadis infiltrate their mosque.

Think of how much fun that would be! The jihadis could bumbling idiots who fumble around with their bomb vests and then blow themselves up. Then the kindly imam could suggest that maybe self-martyrdom is not their style but maybe threatening to behead Prime Minister would work better.

#107 Kenneth, thanks for that link.

Real piece of work isn't he?
This quip says it all for me not to mention he's a former druggie who injested -who knows what else, is now a cult leader in fine robes speaking for all Muslims in this country? (also a self-proclaimed Muslim expert?) Bull shit on every level. You're right Kenneth and others above he reeks of it.

Shaikh said he was ideal for job of informant because he was born and raised in Canada, but also has a solid foundation in Islam.
"Toronto's home, so I understand what concerns they have, but at the same time as a Muslim, I understand what concerns Muslims have. So I felt that I could be a link between the two sides," he said.

Religious bigotry on his part. Not suppose to be 'us and them' in when we question their requests on us, but they are allowed to rule over all other voices and all other Muslims?

We also hold moderate Muslims voices in better standing than he claims they have. They and we have a right to speak up as much as any 'fundamental' religious zealot, we get to question him and his religion, we get to object and demand answers to any religion in this country that prohibits our rights afforded to us in our laws, and we get to do so publicly, so get a grip there boys it's gonna be a bumpy ride.

Sharia law should be outlawed, outright.
Maybe that's the toe-hold into Islamic reformation born of the 'West's' reaction to terrorist attacks and attempts to push sharia law in anywhere possible by 'islamofascists' ha, the ultimate irony if that could be the result.

"For the statistically challenged: Should only 1% of mos worldwide be considered extreme, we're still looking at more than 1 million Islamic soldiers who want to kill us for not believing as they do. I suspect the figure of 1% to be conservative."

You have problem with numbers. Even 1% of Ummah means there are 15 Milion murderers.

But it is not 1%, not even close. All polls of British and other EU Moslems indicate 20-50% active or passive supporters of militant Jihad.

It means that in these USofA there could be 500K potential jihadis.

Aren't immigration wonderful?

For anyone still following these posts...

Mubin Shaikh (the guy in the beard with the wife who converted to Islam in the black bag) is a key informant in the alleged terrorist plot (the plot to blow up the Parliament buildings, behead the Prime Minister, etc.). CSIS (that's Canada's spy agency has paid Shaikh, according to an L.A. Times article 250,000 dollars. Shaikh claims that CSIS still owes him 300,000.)

I have yet to read anyone who thinks that Shaikh looks in the least bit credible...imagine this fellow taking the stand (I'd be slightly more than concerned if I were a prosecutor.) (There's an article on Mubin Shaikh at Wiki)
