jihad in north carolina

In Greensboro North Carolina, Muslim immigrants are trying to organize a boycott of “Jewish” products, lying about history, and praising jihad. The Arab News slaps one of their trademark anti-Semitic fantasy headlines on the story: “Tide turning against Zionist Jews.”
[Dr. Kaukab Siddique, Ameer of Jamaat al-Muslimeen, gave the Juma' khutba at the Islamic Center of the Triad on June 21, 2002. He spoke to a masjid packed with immigrants from Somalia, Sudan, Egypt, Syria, Palestine, Saudi Arabia, Jordan and Lebanon. The Khutba was covered by a reporter from Greensboro's biggest newspaper.]
The main points of the Khutba were as follows:
[The Qur'anic text for the Khutba: The Qur'an says about the Jews:
"And they took riba (interest on loans) though they were forbidden to do so, and they devoured the wealth of mankind wrongfully - We have prepared for those among them who are rejectors of truth, a grievous chastisement."
This is Greensboro, folks. Not Jeddah. Not Damascus.
North Carolina. The United States.
The Ameer then issues the standard proclamations of Muslim tolerance. They don’t force anyone to become Muslim, they respect all places of worship, Jews are welcome in Muslim countries.
Then out comes the hate.
2. All the wars are going on in MUSLIM lands. We are not trying to take anyone's land. We simply want to liberate lands which are ours: Kashmir, Chechnya, Afghanistan, Palestine are all our lands. We stand AGAINST OPPRESSION to liberate these lands and we have every right to do so.
3. In PALESTINE the source of the problem is that in 1948 the Jews TOOK OUR LAND by force. If we keep this fact in focus, it will become very clear that as long as Palestine is under occupation, the struggle to liberate it will continue.
Why is everyone always picking on Muslims? All they’re trying to do is liberate places. Places like Afghanistan, Kashmir, and “Palestine.”
But never mind this glorification of violence and distortion of history, because the Ameer makes it clear once again that Muslims are very tolerant.
4. We are not against the Jews as a collective. In fact throughout our history, we have given refuge and peace to the Jews. When the crusaders were killing the Jews, the Muslims provided security to the Jews. There has always been a small indigenous Jewish community in Palestine which has lived in peace with the Palestinians, Muslims and Christians.
“The Crusaders! They’re the bad ones who killed Jews! Why, they were so evil we’re still talking about them a thousand years later! We’re not against the Jews!”
4a. We are against the Jews because they have usurped Palestine and they take interest on loans and have built up the exploitative economic structure of economy (World Bank/IMF) built on interest-bearing loans.
“Really! We’re not against the evil, money-grubbing Jews and their international conspiracy! ...what? we are against the Jews? Oh. Never mind.”
Time for a heaping spoonful of insanely exaggerated paranoia:
i. Remember that you cannot appease the Jews who run this country by being quiet and humble. They will pursue and persecute you whether you are hiding in a corner of the mosque or staying away from all activity and hiding in your home.
“Infidel! Why do you keep saying we are against the Jews?”
Then our tolerant, loving Muslim preacher lavishes praise on the Holy Land Foundation. Never mind that it was shut down by the US government for funneling money to terrorist organizations.
ii. Look at HOLY LAND FOUNDATION, BENEVOLENCE and GLOBAL (Muslim charities helping widows and orphans). These were pro-Bush, non-political people never disturbing the Jews in any way but they have been targeted and victimized. So being non-political will not help. iii. Muhammad Mustafa (pbuh) was the most peaceful of men. None of us can be as kind, generous and sensitive to human suffering as he was. Yet the oppressors not only forced him to leave Makka but would not leave him alone even in Madina.
This kind, generous, sensitive man is also on the State Department’s list of Identified Terrorists and Groups.
And then we get to the part that, if I were living in North Carolina, would worry me. Greatly.
6. Pakistani women used to scare their children of cats. TODAY PAKISTANI WOMEN ARE SENDING THEIR CHILDREN TO JIHAD IN KASHMIR. Same with Palestinian women. Our Palestinian sisters have put males to shame with their tremendous sacrifices against the Jews. In America, our struggle is that of IDENTITY, SELF-RESPECT, COMMUNICATION and ORGANIZATION. In these areas, our communities are very weak. Unless immigrant women stop spoiling their children and start participating in community activity, the enemy will undermine us by luring away our families while we are in the mosque by ourselves.
Wake up, America. This is a call to jihad. Yes, it’s couched in terms that give it some deniability if the infidels ask troublesome questions—but the Jewish conspiracy ranting leaves no doubt of the true intent. Those who glorify Palestinian suicide bombers and Pakistani jihadis are our enemies. If you live in or near Greensboro, I suggest you keep a very close eye on this place.
