NOT MORE RADICAL THAN JOHN PILGER
US-born Muslim leader Sheik Khalid Yasin, currently raising funds to open an Islamic television network in Australia, offers his intriguing views on:
MULTICULTURALISM: “How can you put a sacred trust in the hands of a non-Muslim? There’s no such thing as a Muslim having a non-Muslim friend.”
FASHION: “If you prefer the clothing of the kafirs over the clothing of the Muslims, most of those names that’s on most of those clothings is faggots, homosexuals and lesbians.”
SEPTEMBER 11: “We now know that the way that the World Trade Center fell the way that those buildings fell — they fell from internal explosive charges, the same way it’s done in a construction site.”
AIDS: “An AIDS virus, that is a classic disease that was created in Fort McKinley, United States. Fort McKinley, the AIDS virus, 63,000 gallons ... Missionaries from the World Health Organisation and Christian groups went into Africa and inoculated people for diphtheria, malaria, yellow fever and they put in the medicine the AIDS virus.”
HIMSELF: “Some people characterise me as a radical cleric. I’m not more radical than Mahatma Gandhi or John Pilger or Jesus Christ.”
(via Brian Miller)
I’m not more radical than Mahatma Gandhi or John Pilger or Jesus Christ.
Damn, I’ve got to clean my screen now…

Speaking as a lesbian, any gay person who makes excuses for Islamism needs a good hard smack. And not in an enjoyable, S&M sort of way, either.

Posted by Pogue Mahone on 2005 10 10 at 01:28 PM • permalinkDoes that include lending money to a muslim? For the purchase of drugs? to support global jihad??
Not that I personaly know of a connection (much less jihad than mebad) between some chaps from Chistmas island and Oz…Posted by thefrollickingmole on 2005 10 10 at 01:44 PM • permalinkI started to understand class and I started reading things and I developing inside of myself a distaste for issues of exploitation and oppression — Nicaragua and Panama and Honduras, South Africa and apartheid — and started to understand what those words meant.
Interesting how he dates his conversion to radical Islamic fundamentalism to about the same time as what appears to have been his conversion to Marxism, and his burgeoning interest in the fashionable left issues of the 80’s. I guess a philosophy that preaches that men who want to change the world don’t just think or write, don’t just argue with their opponents--they greet intellectual opposition not with words but with swords--can be forgiven for suggesting at the same time that Mr. Yasin’s religious faith is an ‘opiate’.
I’m not more radical than Mahatma Gandhi or John Pilger or Jesus Christ.
Gee, I don’t remember Jesus calling anyone a faggot.
But it is sad that some of his other opinions are really the same ones held by elements of the left. Through my brief association with radial AIDS activists in the 90s, I can tell you that I’ve heard the very same explanation for the genesis of AIDS proposed by college-educated westerners, usually also invoking Ronald Reagan as the initiator of the AIDS manufacturing project.
And downtown New York is currently plastered with professionally printed stickers calling 9/11 an “inside job”. These people know what they are doing. Sow doubt in the minds of the ill informed and superstitious, and you’ve got a fertile field in which to grow all manner of foul crops. (see Salem, Massachusetts, 1692, the Inquisition, Germany, 1930s, et al)
SEPTEMBER 11: “We now know that the way that the World Trade Center fell the way that those buildings fell — they fell from internal explosive charges, the same way it’s done in a construction site.”
That would explain the general dismay with which the World Trade Center’s fall was greeted throughout the muslim world. When muslims are upset, they ululate and hand out candies.
They don’t?
Never mind.
”...most of those names that’s on most of those clothings is faggots, homosexuals and lesbians.”
Levi Strauss was a wha...???

I’m thoroughly boggled.

Some people characterise me as a radical cleric
And some people characterise me as a gangsta of love....Posted by SoCalJustice on 2005 10 10 at 04:34 PM • permalinkCourtesy of Honest Reporting, I see that Melbourne’s Age newspaper has just been studied and found wanting. Hardly suprising, you may think, but here it’s caught in flagrante delicto.
“The Age newspaper does not adhere to required journalistic standards, as determined by its own and other established external codes, in its reporting on the Arab - Israeli conflict.
This report has shown that The Age contained numerous violations of impartial journalistic standards and expectations and that the reporting is consistently and overwhelmingly one-sided. The probability that this occurs by chance is exceedingly small.
The Age has failed in its obligations to be a fair and impartial reporter of the Arab - Israeli conflict with its violations being detrimental to the Israeli side.”

Not homophobic, but definitely anti-multiculturist (defined as, “thinks a philosophy that says Western=bad, non-Western=good is incredibly fucking stupid.")
So, maybe just preaching to the baritones.
Oh, and fuck off.
Would you like him back..?

For once in his life, instilling hatred and waging jihad makes him feel like a real man.

Posted by The Thin Man Returns on 2005 10 10 at 10:34 PM • permalinkIt’s working too! The rate of infant vaccination in Islamic countries has fallen significantly due to Sheik Yasin-style paranoia. I guess the West will have to pick up the bill for that too, somewhere along the track.
Fascinating isn’t it that an extremist like Yasin quotes John Pilger, don’t you think? I wonder how much Pilger-style bile Mohammed Atta and his cohorts were exposed to while they lived in Hamburg? I wonder if Atta ever said to himself something like, “well I guess if Westerners are saying it too, what Sheik Osama says must be true!”
Whyners take note:
It’s not Iraq, nor East Timor, it’s booze and bikinisDISCUSSION GROUP PARTICIPANT: Basically people look at Muslims these days with the wrong scope. They look at us like we’re criminals, people who want to see destruction and things like that.
You think?
Well, I blame the MSM for making me think there are a lot of Muslims who would blow themselves up just to kill me! Just look at all of their false reports of suicide exploders around the world.
More WD OT -

Any ideas on how I can get my dog to squat over a tupperware container?
As a bit of light-satire Roy and HG have had their moments. I used to love listening to their League commentary on JJJ. And they were sublime during the Sydney 2000 Olympics. However, since then they have proven that their 15 minutes have well and truly expired.
The excerable “Marking Time” mined new depths of manipulation and exploitation of a complex issue that the incurably politically correct bourgeois-left ABC can not and WILL not allow itself to view through the eyes of the majority of Australians. And let’s noty even mention the unspeakable “Memphis Trousers”, which is half and hour too long!
One observation that caught my attention was his damning of “Big Brother and his suggested way to improve it:
“Big Brother is a waste of an opportunity. The housemates live in a state of perpetual boredom, unless they’re pissed. Why not engage them. A house of really smart gifted young people from various fields: scientists, engineers, mathematicians, builders, a Latin scholar, a poet etc and they have a problem to solve. With a shared incentive of a few million dollars they have to find a solution to Australia’s water problems in ten weeks – there’s a show.” Doyle suggested.
Compare that with the cynical bandwagon-jumping of ubiquitous “Media Tart” Associate Professor Catharine Lumby, who has decreed that far from being a banal sexploitaion of vulnerable young girls by capitalist dirty old men, a banality excoriated by our Favourite Raving Old Bat, Germaine Greer,
“[Germaine Greer] is also absolutely wrong, as demonstrated by extensive research I conducted with Professor Elspeth Probyn into young women’s attitudes to the media.
In our three-year research project, Big Brother emerged as one of the most popular shows with girls aged 12 to 18. And why did they love it? Because they face a lot of the same dilemmas as the housemates. They are constantly under surveillance from parents, teachers and experts. They spend a lot of time trying to work out how to be an individual while fitting into a group. And they wonder a lot about how far you should go in telling other people what you think of them.”
The Ethical Goddess thundered from her Fairfax pulpit
I shall be publishing my banned Webdiary article tomrrow, where such issues will be touched on. On what constitutes “research” in “Cultural Studies” we can only wonder.
Given the orgy of deification for the rather John Doyle by the ABC Usual Suspects, perhaps I should expect a Pulitzer Prize for my own modest musings.
Clerics who talk like this are just waiting for the day…
and that day will come.
Mayhaps they should visit Dresden first...the decadent west has been known to defend it’s comfy chair with extreme violence now and again.
A view of Hiroshima might also be to the point.

As for multiculturalism, well it has its problems, but Australia is a very successful multicultural country.
Posted by Major Anya on 2005 10 11 at 06:40 AM • permalinkSorry Darlene, Australia was a very successful multicultural country.
However, turning naturally occuring multiculturalism into mandated social policy poisoned it.

Posted by Andrew Ian Dodge on 2005 10 11 at 07:29 AM • permalinkFight for the sake of God those that fight against you, but do not attack them first. God does not love the aggressors. Slay them wherever you find them. Drive them out of the places from which they drove you. Idolatry is more grievous than bloodshed… but if they desist, God is forgiving and merciful. Fight against them until idolatry is no more and God’s religion reigns supreme. (Sura 2.190-193)
Here’s a quote from the Koran which might explain why Khalid Yasin is so keen to portray the Australian community at large as the aggressor.
We won’t begin to deal with these guys until we start saying publicly that that Mohammad himself was wrong and that the Jihad he commanded was wrong and has always been wrong.
At least this guy defends his own misguided culture - which is more than you can say about Pilger, who would trash in a minute the very system, culture and society that gives him the chance to speak his mind freely.

Another whyner moment.

After that I burned the White Album. Not because of what he said, just that it deserved burnin’.
Posted by Monroe Doctrine on 2005 10 11 at 02:35 PM • permalinkGood point, Nick.
True of most things.
As I said multiculturalism has its problems, but most Australians - regardless of background - live together quite happily. There is a distinction between social policy and the way people live their lives.
They do so without making a big fuss about it as well.
Posted by Major Anya on 2005 10 11 at 05:08 PM • permalinkWould you like him back..?

I was promptly informed that I was completely off base and that Al-Quaida had nothing against them. Looks like my original assessment now stands. Those who think we can avoid being targetted just by saying nasty things about G.W. Bush and the Yanks are in for a surprise. If they want the freedoms to express themselves as they wish then they better get on side. We are all of us in this together.

Posted by wronwright on 2005 10 11 at 09:41 PM • permalinkThe Islamists want the following:
1. all governments to be Islamic
2. one overall sultanate, under the rule of a Walhabist Muslim
3. no democracy anywhere
4. a strictly patriarchal society
5. women stay in the home
6. women stay out of the work force
7. women know and stay in their place, specifically in the home tending house, taking care of the children, and willing and eager to perform bedroom duties
8. if women need to go outside the home, they be covered from head to feet, completely
9. one religion
10. no homosexuality, anywhere
11. no liberal thoughts or actions
12. all men must wear a beard and wear conservative attireIf you don’t believe in or follow any of the above, you are in violation of their beliefs and are deserving of death. And ironically, you are part of the root causes of their attack against the West.
