The Ka’aba: ”Stupid Stone”

BBC: A Berlin art gallery has temporarily closed an exhibition where one of the posters made fun of Islam's holiest shrine, the Kaaba in Mecca.

The decision came after threats believed to be from Muslims.

The exhibition was organised by the Danish group Surrend, which said it wanted to oppose religious extremism.

A poster on display showed the Kaaba - the black granite cube-shaped building in Mecca. The words "stupid stone" in German were superimposed on it.

It is toward the Kaaba that Muslims must pray.

Confronting ideology

The poster - among 22 on display - also showed the faithful walking around it with speech bubbles saying "Zionist occupied government", which referred to the title of the exhibition.

The Danish artists said they wanted to satirise the conspiracy theory that Jews are behind everything - a view they say is prevalent among neo-Nazis and in parts of the Arab world.

The director of the art gallery in Berlin said there had been threats of violence if the poster was not removed, so they had decided to shut for a while. Berlin gallery in Islam art row >>> By Frances Harrison, BBC religious affairs reporter

Dutch Cabinet “Gravely Worried” about Wilder’s Film

RADIO NETHERLANDS WORLDWIDE: Dutch Prime Minister Jan Peter Balkenende says he's "gravely concerned" about the consequences of the yet-to-be-broadcast anti-Qur'an film being produced by right wing politician Geert Wilders.

The Dutch cabinet discussed the repercussions of the film at length during their weekly meeting. The cabinet clearly wants to get a message of tolerance and moderation out before the film is released.


In a statement to the press, the Prime Minister said the Netherlands stands for freedom, but also for respect. He stopped short of calling on Mr Wilders not to broadcast the film, but, he said, "the first person who has to take responsibility for the consequences, is Mr Wilders himself. And that's not a call for him to do anything, but he should look into his own conscience, and ask what his responsibility here is."

Capitulating to Islam


In reaction to the Prime Minister, Mr Wilders said "The cabinet is capitulating to Islam. I will never, ever do so." Earlier in the week, in an unusual move, Foreign Minister Maxime Verhagen called on Mr Wilders not to broadcast the film. Mr Wilders was even stronger in his response to the Foreign Minister, telling him to "stuff it".

Mr Wilders is the leader of the populist Freedom Party, the fifth largest party in the Dutch parliament. He has long been making headlines with his claims that Islam's holy book of is fascist, and should be banned. His film, which is said now to be finished, has been creating controversy in the Netherlands and abroad since the plan to make it became known in early December. The film is fifteen minutes long, and is called Fitna, Arabic for trial or ordeal. Dutch cabinet gravely worried about Wilders film >>>

There Should Be a Million Anti-Koran Films, Says Grant Swank

J GRANT SWANK JR: What fuss over “Fitna,” the Dutch anti-Islam film soon to be out.

There should be countless numbers of these films shown worldwide to stop Islam World Rule enthusiasts who would lay down their bodies for the take-over.

Per The Washington Times’ Leander Schaerlaeckens: “Europe's uneasy relationship with its Muslim minority faces another blow next month, when Dutch politician Geert Wilders releases a 15-minute film that compares Islam to Nazism and communism.

“The film is called ‘Fitna,’ an Arabic term for ‘discord.’ It intersperses verses of the Koran with footage of terrorist attacks and other Islamist-inspired violence.”

To begin with, all civil individuals around the planet should read the Koran just to know what they are talking about. The Koran in its complete form is on the Internet. Anyone can get to it via ”Koran.”

Then the knowledgeable individual will realize why these kinds of films are necessary to stave off the enemy encroaching at freedom countries’ doors.

"’The film will show that the Koran isn't a dead work, but the face of Islam — a tremendous hazard,’ Mr. Wilders told the daily newspaper NRC Handelsblad.

“He said the film calls the Koran ‘the latest test to Western democracies since Nazism and communism.’”

That is so true. Following Nazism and Communism, civil nations are now confronted with Islamic murderers espousing [that] all non-Muslims [be] slain. There are so-called moderates? All moderates will be considered cowards if they do not play out the final scene of erasing non-Muslims from the world. If they persist in being cowardly, they will be slain.

Dutch Film to Slam Islam

WASHINGTON TIMES: BRUSSELS — Europe's uneasy relationship with its Muslim minority faces another blow next month, when Dutch politician Geert Wilders releases a 15-minute film that compares Islam to Nazism and communism.

The film is called "Fitna," an Arabic term for "discord." It intersperses verses of the Koran with footage of terrorist attacks and other Islamist-inspired violence.

"The film will show that the Koran isn't a dead work, but the face of Islam — a tremendous hazard," Mr. Wilders told the daily newspaper NRC Handelsblad.

He said the film calls the Koran "the latest test to Western democracies since Nazism and communism."

Mr. Wilders said the film will be finished tomorrow and will be posted on a Web site, www.fitnathemovie.com, when it airs on television.

Several Pakistani Internet providers tried this week to block YouTube on the orders of the government because it carried a movie trailer for the film. The effort caused a worldwide crash of the popular online site for sharing videos.

In recent years, other perceived insults to Islam in Europe have turned deadly.

The Sensual Orient Has Become Chaste

RADIO NETHERLANDS WORLDWIDE: Dutch writers and artists in the 19th century took great interest in the Middle East. Art historian Jan de Hond wrote his dissertation about these orientalists. Some were out to prove the superiority of their own Western culture, while others were searching for something missing at home, such as free love.

In the 19th century, thousands of European writers and artists travelled to the Islamic countries around the Mediterranean. Their books and paintings found immense popularity among a large section of the public. French and British writers and artists were perhaps more obsessed with oriental culture than others but Orientalism was also a phenomenon in the Netherlands and it interested writers such as Marcellus Emants and Louis Couperus and the artist Marius Bauer.

What lay at the bottom of the enormous interest in the Orient? According to the Palestinian literary theorist Edward Said, the image that European writers and artists constructed of the Orient was dependent on colonialism. In order to justify colonialism, the Orient was presented as the opposite of the occident and the opposite of how Europeans saw themselves. Europe was dynamic, enlightened, rational and democratic and the Orient was seen as static, backward, irrational and despotic. In the 1970s, Mr Said's book, Orientalism became the bible of left-wing Arab intellectuals. One-dimensional >>> By Michel Hoebink | 29-02-2008

An Australian’s Path to Jihad

CBS NEWS - Adelaide: (AP) When young Australian David Hicks got an offer from a Saudi friend to go to Osama bin Laden's camps in Afghanistan in December 2000, he did not think twice.

"So many of today's Muslims want to meet bin Laden but cannot, and after only being Muslim for 16 months Allah has given me the chance to," he gushed in a letter to his mother. "Please don't worry."

Within six months, Hicks - who took the name Mohammad Dawood - had met bin Laden at least 20 times and was full of praise for the al Qaeda leader.

"Lovely brother, everything only for the sake of Islam," Hicks wrote to his mother in May 2001. "Only reason non-Muslims call him the most wanted terrorist is because he has the money to take action, which was given to him by Allah."

The meetings with bin Laden are mentioned in Hicks' account of his journey from a working-class background in the central Australian city of Adelaide to Islamic jihad, made public for the first time last week.

Hicks was the first person convicted before a U.S. military tribunal at Guantanamo, and is now free in Australia after serving a seven-year sentence for supporting terrorism.

Hicks, who is said to no longer be a practicing Muslim, is barred under a plea deal from speaking publicly. But Federal Magistrate Warren Donald released his letters and a diary in court to back his ruling that Hicks is still a terror threat.

The ruling puts Hicks under restrictions until the end of the year, requiring him to report to police twice a week and live at an approved address.

While the documents are at least seven years old, they offer firsthand, detailed descriptions of the intensive training undergone by would-be terrorists, as well as insight into the mind of a convert to extremist Islam.

In the papers, the Australian comes across as both an eager foot soldier and a wide-eyed, naive adventurer, whose notes on his military training are as detailed and casual as if he were studying high school physics.

Hicks, now 32, converted to Islam in 1999 after watching television reports of the conflict in Albania. He went to Albania to join the Kosovo Liberation Army, a Muslim group fighting against Serbian forces, but when he got there the conflict was over.

He then trained in Pakistan with Lashkar-e-Tayyaba, an al Qaeda-affiliated group that is fighting for the independence of Muslim-dominated Kashmir from India.

He sent home a notebook filled with details and diagrams on how to use numerous weapons, including mortars, ballistic missiles, rocket-propelled grenades and machine guns. He also learned how to carry out attacks against heavily guarded targets and blow up a tank.

"The training was very intense," he wrote to his family in August 2000. "Extreme fitness, which I gave up smoking, military tactics and technics (sic), religious knowledge and weapons training."

But as time went on, Hicks became disillusioned with Pakistan as not Islamic enough, and impatient that he was not being included in big military operations.

Pressure Mounts on Wilders to Drop Film

DUTCH NEWS: Pressure is mounting on anti-Islam politician Geert Wilders to drop plans to broadcast his anti-Koran film because of the economic and security damage it could cause to the Netherlands.

On Thursday night, Christian Democrat parliamentary leader Pieter van Geel urged Wilders not to proceed. ‘This is nothing to do with freedom of expression but with the responsibility he must take for the possible consequences for the safety of Dutch citizens and our economy,’ Van Geel said.

Foreign minister Maxime Verhagen told NOS news that broadcasting the 15-minute feature would be irresponsible. On Wednesday Verhagen and justice minister Ernst Hirsch Ballin spent an hour with Wilders trying to persuade him to drop the project.

But Labour, Liberal, Socialist and GroenLinks MPs said they did not support the CDA call. The right to freedom of expression was paramount, the MPs were reported as saying, while stressing that Wilders should be responsible in exercising this right.

The Campaign to Undermine Obama Has Begun

THE TELEGRAPH: Republicans have begun to emphasise Barack Obama's middle name Hussein in an attempt to spread doubts about his patriotism and raise fears among voters that he is a closet Muslim.

The unofficial smear campaign is a foretaste of what the Illinois senator would face if he becomes the Democratic Party's candidate for November's presidential election.

This week the Tennessee Republican party issued a press release with the headline "anti-Semites for Obama", which claimed that "a growing chorus of Americans [are] concerned about the future of the nation of Israel, the only stable democracy in the Middle East, if Sen Barack Hussein Obama is elected president of the United States".

The release said that Mr Obama had pledged to set up a "Muslim summit", referring to his idea of holding a Middle Eastern meeting.

It also tried to link the senator to Louis Farrakhan, the leader of the anti-Semitic Nation of Islam, as well as to fundraising events for alleged pro-Palestinian extremists.

The release was illustrated by a picture that began circulating on the internet a few days ago of Mr Obama dressed in ethnic Somali garb, which he wore on an official visit to Kenya.

Mr Obama's father was Kenyan and his mother was a white woman from Kansas. He spent part of his childhood in Indonesia, a largely Muslim country.

"My grandfather, who was Kenyan, converted to Christianity, then converted to Islam," he explained recently. "My father never practised; he was basically agnostic. So, other than my name and the fact that I lived in a populous Muslim country for four years when I was a child, I have very little connection to the Islamic religion," added Mr Obama, who began worshipping at the Trinity United Church in Chicago 20 years ago.

Right-wing broadcasters such as Rush Limbaugh and Ann Coulter have, however, regularly use his middle name, while never openly stressing its obvious echo of the nation's greatest recent enemy, Saddam Hussein. Name calling campaign to undermine Obama >>> By Alex Spillius in Austin

German Rescue from Honour Killing

BBC: A volunteer rescue operation in Germany has sheltered more than 100 Muslim women who fear they will be killed if they do not go through with marriages that their families have arranged for them.

I was unlocking my bicycle outside a shopping mall one afternoon when a group of teenage boys asked me in German if I knew how to break-dance.

I thought I was hearing things, so I said, "Excuse me?"

They repeated their question in typical slang, complete with Berlin dialect, saying they would be glad to show off their hip-hop moves, if I shared some steps of my own.

I laughed and replied that, while I do love dancing, my knees are not quite up to the acrobatic task of break-dance.

Once we got talking, though, I was in for a mental head-spin that would defy any choreography.

All but one of the boys - of Turkish, Kurdish and Palestinian origin - were born in Germany.

They wore jeans and T-shirts and their hair glistened with styling gel. One sported a gold earring.

With their playful jostling, they seemed like teenagers in any Western backdrop, except for one thing: they swore they would kill their own sisters if any of them had sex before marriage.

The boys were convinced that that would destroy their families' honour.

By coincidence, I had just attended a summit on the thorny subject of integration, where a female politician of Turkish descent had appealed for state support for a local organisation that rescues young women fleeing forced marriage, or the threat of an honour killing.

Woman to Conduct Egyptian Marriages

BBC: Egypt has appointed a woman to conduct Muslim marriages for the first time.

Amal Soliman, 32, has broken centuries of tradition by being chosen as a judicial assistant who officiates at weddings, known as a maazun.

Some commentators are saying she is the first female in the Muslim world authorised to conduct religious marriages.

The mother of three has a masters degree in law which helped her beat 10 male candidates to get the job.

As a maazun or notary, Ms Soliman will read verses from the Koran at ceremonies, sign marriage certificates and authorise divorce contracts. Woman to conduct Egypt [sic]* marriages >>> By Frances Harrison, BBC religious affairs reporter

Vast Majority of Muslims Want Western Style Democracy

If you believe this, then I’ve got a bridge to sell you in the desert! - Mark

BBC: The largest survey to date of Muslims worldwide suggests the vast majority want Western democracy and freedoms, but do not want them to be imposed.

The poll by Gallup of more than 50,000 Muslims in 35 nations found most wanted the West to instead focus on changing its negative view of Muslims and Islam.

The huge survey began following the 11 September 2001 attacks in the US.

The overwhelming majority of those asked condemned them and subsequent attacks, citing religious reasons.

The poll, which claims to represent the views of 90% the world's 1.3 billion Muslims, is to be published next month as part of a book entitled Who Speaks For Islam? What A Billion Muslims Really Think. Most Muslims ‘desite democracy’ >>>

Dänemark will Schuldenerlass für den Sudan blockieren

NZZ Online: Nach einem Boykottaufruf der sudanesischen Regierung gegen dänische Waren hat die Regierung in Kopenhagen angekündigt, einen Schuldenerlass für das afrikanische Land zu blockieren. Rund zwei Milliarden Kronen (440 Millionen Franken) Schulden könnten unter diesen Umständen nicht erlassen werden, erklärte die Ministerin für Auslandshilfe, Ulla Törnäs. Die Kürzung dänischer Hilfsgelder lehnte sie jedoch ab, da dies nur die Schwächsten im Sudan treffe, nicht aber die Regierung.

(ap) Die Ministerin bestellte den sudanesischen Botschafter ein, nachdem Präsident Omar al Baschir am Mittwoch vor Zehntausenden Demonstranten in Khartum zu einem weitgehenden Boykott Dänemarks aufgerufen hatte. Der Sudan ist einer der grössten Empfänger von dänischer Entwicklungshilfe. Bis 2009 sind derzeit Entwicklungs- und Hilfsprogramme von bis zu 500 Millionen Kronen (110 Millionen Franken) geplant.

The Hyperactive, Boastful Président and the Cautious, Ponderous Bundeskanzlerin

THE INDEPENDENT: To cancel one high-level Franco-German meeting is unfortunate. To cancel two in less than a week implies a bank of freezing fog is descending over the Rhine.

French and German officials sought yesterday to play down the significance of the abrupt postponement – both by Paris – of two meetings between the countries' most senior politicians.

Privately, and not so privately, the talk in both capitals is of a serious rift in the single most important national partnership in Europe. Officials blame an increasingly difficult relationship between President Nicolas Sarkozy and Chancellor Angela Merkel.

With France scheduled to take the presidency of the European Union in July, the Franco-German tiff could not be timed worse.

Berlin has been especially annoyed by M. Sarkozy's determination to push ahead with a so-called "Club Med" or formal union of countries on the shores of the Mediterranean. Chancellor Merkel believes that such an organisation would be either a pointless distraction or a threat to the unity of the EU.

There have also been tensions over the management of the euro and on foreign and defence policy. France has repeatedly criticised the monetary policy of the European Central Bank while ignoring its European commitments to restrain its budget deficit. Germany has refused to join a French-sponsored EU military mission to Darfur.

At the heart of the quarrel – not yet an overt crisis – is the strained relationship between the two leaders.

German officials say that the hyperactive and boastful behaviour of the French President – and his over-familiar personal style – has irritated Ms Merkel. French officials suggest M. Sarkozy finds Ms Merkel too cautious and too ponderous. French diplomats also complain that M. Sarkozy – in his determination to shake up all aspects of French government – wants to play down the Paris-Berlin relationship that has been the bedrock of France's domestic and European policy for half a century.

Franco Frattini, the EU’s Justice and Interior Affairs Commissioner, Proposes EU-Wide Protection for Ayaan Hirsi Ali and Other Officials Threatened with Death

PR-INSIDE.COM: BRUSSELS, Belgium (AP) - The European Union's top justice official on Thursday proposed offering EU-wide protection to former Dutch lawmaker Ayaan Hirsi Ali and other officials similarly threatened with death.


Franco Frattini, the EU's justice and interior affairs commissioner, said EU nations should draw up special measures to ensure Hirsi Ali and others in similar situations can move freely across the 27-nation bloc without fearing for their safety.

He said his plan won «unanimous» backing from EU justice and interior ministers, who agreed to draft rules to exchange and offer mutual recognition for people under national security protection.

Frattini said EU-wide regulation on the issue is important «to guarantee one of the most important rights: the rights of free movement.

«If you are not free, you are not safe,» Frattini said.

Hirsi Ali, the target of death threats over her criticism of radical Islam, has called on the EU for help with protection.

The Dutch government stopped paying for her security last October after she moved to the U.S., but Dutch authorities are keen to have the EU set up rules for cases like Hirsi Ali.

It was not clear whether Frattini's proposal would involve EU money or voluntary national funds used to pay for the security of people under special protection.

The Somali-born Hirsi Ali became the target of threats after writing the screenplay for the film «Submission,» a fictional study of abused Muslim women that includes scenes of near-naked women with Quranic texts engraved on their skin.

Muslim Anger Mounts Over Cartoons, Movie

CHRISTIAN SCIENCE MONITOR: Sudan threatens to ban Danish aid workers; Europe braces for possible protests.

Outrage continued to rise this week in parts of the Muslim world over the depiction of Islam in Danish newspapers earlier this month and the possible release of a film in the Netherlands critical of the religion.

Muslims in Sudan, Pakistan, Turkey, the Middle East, and other parts of the Islamic world, have been angered over the republication of one cartoon from a 2005 series that satirized Islam's prophet Muhammad. Muslims regard visual depictions of the prophet Muhammad as blasphemous.

Governments in Europe are also bracing for protests against the possible broadcast of an anti-Islamic film by right-wing Dutch parliamentarian Geert Wilders that links Islam to violence. Mr. Wilders says the film, which he plans to broadcast on the Internet and possibly television, will be finished Sunday, Reuters reports. Pakistan's YouTube shutdown last weekend has been attributed in part to the film's appearance on the video-sharing website.

In Sudan, President Omar al-Bashir said Wednesday that Danes would be banned from Sudan and the Danish peacekeeping force faced possible expulsion. He was speaking before a crowd of tens of thousands denouncing Denmark during a government-backed protest against the republications of the cartoons, reports the Associated Press.
"We urge all Muslims around the world to boycott Danish commodities, goods, companies, institutions, organizations and personalities," Al-Bashir told the crowd.

God Help Europe! Even the Financial Times Buys Into the Idea of the Reformation of Islam and the Rôle of Turkey in that ‘Reformation’

FINANCIAL TIMES: Aficionados of the clash of civilisations are fond of the thesis that the Muslim world’s problem is that it has not undergone a reformation. This imperiously ignores that Islam, by retrieving the classics of Greek science and philosophy, dragged Europe out of the dark ages and made possible the Renaissance.

It is nonetheless true that the articulation of modern Islamic thinking is hampered by a number of self-inflicted handicaps. News that Turkey’s religious establishment is close to completing a modern reinterpretation of Islam is therefore a potentially huge – and highly controversial – development.

Theologians at Ankara University, backed by the Diyanet, Turkey’s state authority for religious affairs, are re-examining the Hadith, the sayings and deeds attributed to the Prophet Mohammed. The Hadith were not codified until two centuries after the Prophet’s death in 632. While the Koran is held by Muslims to be the revealed word of God to the Prophet, the Hadith – initially an orally transmitted tradition of the Prophet’s time – are the origin of the majority of Sharia law.

Modern scholars believe many Hadith betray cultural traditions and mechanisms of social control – particularly of women – alien to the original message of Islam. Practices such as female genital mutilation, common in Egypt, are African customs alien to the Arabian peninsula. Even the veiling of women is thought to be a borrowing from the Byzantine aristocracy.

The “Ankara School” plans to strip away the accretions and apocrypha of the Hadith, looking at the texts through the contextual techniques of hermeneutics. The idea, encouraged by Turkey’s government of neo-Islamist reformists, is of a truly modernised Islam. Rethinking the message of Islam >>>

Qaradawi Embraces Rt. Rev. Williams Call for Start of Sharia Law in Britain

AN AMERICAN WARNING: The basic, public premise of the Muslim Brotherhood's strategy for the conquest of Europe hinges on creating Muslim enclaves that are exempt from national laws and under sharia law-then steadily expanding those areas. So it is not surprising the group headed by the Muslim Brotherhood's chief theologian would embrace the call from the Archbishop of Canterbury to actually implement such a plan.

The International Union for Muslim Scholars, led by Yousef al-Qaradawi, laments the "fierce attacks" in Britain against Archbishop Rowan William's statement that sharia law could be implemented in family matters and other issues.
