Muslims Against Sharia

This new organization, Muslims Against Sharia, sounds interesting.  "Muslims Against Sharia is an international non-profit organization formed by Muslims who understand that Islam has two choices: reform or destruction."  Their goals:

• to educate Muslims about dangers presented by Islamic religious texts and why Islam must be reformed
• to educate non-Muslims about the differences between moderate Muslims and Islamists (a.k.a. Islamic Religious Fanatics, Radical Muslims, Muslim Fundamentalists, Islamic Extremists or Islamofascists)
• to educate both Muslims and non-Muslims alike that Moderate Muslims are also targets of Islamic Terror

I liked this item from their Manifesto:

The need for reform

Islam, in its present form, is not compatible with principles of freedom and democracy. Twenty-first century Muslims have two options: we can continue the barbaric policies of the seventh century perpetuated by Hassan al-Banna, Abdullah Azzam, Yassir Arafat, Ruhollah Khomeini, Osama bin Laden, Muslim Brotherhood, al-Qaeda, Hizballah, Hamas, Hizb-ut-Tahrir, etc., leading to a global war between Dar al-Islam (Islamic World) and Dar al-Harb (non-Islamic World), or we can reform Islam to keep our rich cultural heritage and to cleanse our religion from the reviled relics of the past. We, as Muslims who desire to live in harmony with people of other religions, agnostics, and atheists choose the latter option. We can no longer allow Islamic extremists to use our religion as a weapon. We must protect future generations of Muslims from being brainwashed by the Islamic radicals. If we do not stop the spread of Islamic fundamentalism, our children will become homicidal zombies.

I like that they name names, instead of the generic "We're reject terrorism against civilians," which the Islamic Fiqh Council of North America declared a few years ago. That means not much, unfortunately, as "civilian" is a tricky term for Islamic radicals.  Anyway, this group specifically calls out the extremists and their organizations by name, and they include the Muslim Brotherhood, which has numerous front groups in the U.S. 

This group appears to have been started in response to the Swedish cartoon controversy.  I can't say I think much of the cartoon. Seems like the work of an adolescent, thinking he's being daring when he's just being rude. Designed to insult and provoke, to what end? I understand and appreciated the Mohammed cartoons in the Danish newspaper Jyllands-Posten .  I don't get the Swedish cartoon.  I wouldn't be impressed by a cartoon of Jesus' head on an animal's body either.  What's going on with these folks?   

That said, I'm happy to see that there are Muslims Against Sharia. The U.S. branch is based in Nebraska, of all places.  A Boston branch would be nice.

Hi, like the blog! Did you get also that they offered a counter bounty for the leader of the Islamic State in Iraq?

Aryans are Masters of the World; Everyone else is Subhuman

If you think that the title sounds a little out of date, (seventy years or so), think again!
On August 28, 2007, Dr. Hamza Dhib Mustafa, member of the Palestinian Authority Supreme Fatwa Council, appointed last year by a so-called "moderate" PA president Mahmoud Abbas, stated the following:

"Muslims are masters of the world, its leaders and teachers, even if the West rejects this."

Muslims Against Sharia condemn, in the strongest possible terms, Dr. Mustafa's statement and demand his immediate excommunication and removal from the PA Supreme Fatwa Council. As a figure of religious authority, Dr. Mustafa has a responsibility to strive for World Peace and not to call for worldwide domination of Islam. We hold PA president Mahmoud Abbas responsible for his appointee and demand a public apology and repudiation of Dr. Mustafa's statement. We call on all democratic governments, including the governments of Israel and the United States to halt any aid to Palestinian Authority until president Abbas rectifies the situations for which he is personally responsible.

How can they be "Muslims Against Sharia" when most of them are Zionist Jews. That makes no sense.

Akira is a typical example of a Nazi retard. On the one hand he claims that we are "Zionist Jews"; on the other hand he claims that we "promote Jihad".

Muslims Against Sharia is not a non-profit, that has been carefully checked with the IRS. In reality, multiple sources have confirmed that they are actually a group of Jewish zealots acting as agents provacateure. The money they raise goes to the Canadian JTF, a U.S. banned foreign terrorist organization. See the multiple articles exposing MAS at www.chasingevil.org

LOL if it isn't the felon Mr. Sutter spreading his defamations again.

I suggest before anyone takes the fraud and con artist seriously they look long and hard at his criminal history.

He has been arrested many times including filing a false police report that got an Innocent person arrested. See phonyrev.com or exposingsutter.com
