Durka Durka Mohammed Jihad

Radical Islam might be funny were it confined to a song: Durka Durka Mohammed Jihad.

But that isn't the reality and Channel 4 in the UK has at least made an effort to expose Islamic radicalism in Britain. Fine, but where is the American media on this issue?

Secret video footage reveals Muslim preachers exhorting followers to prepare for jihad, to hit girls for not wearing the hijab, and to create a ’state within a state’. Many of the preachers are linked to the Wahhabi strain of Islam practised in Saudi Arabia, which funds a number of Britain’s leading Islamic institutions.

This below was first posted here in June as Welcome To The New Jihad. Our American media is afraid to publish some silly cartoons. It's hard to imagine they have the courage to pull the mask off of some allegedly moderate Muslims in America who are undoubtedly pushing Jihad behind closed doors.

Here's something else that gave me pause while surfing the web tonight - the new jihad. Welcome to the Islamic Center of America.

The small jihad is over and now remains the greater jihad; we have finished off with the smaller challenge so thankfully we can move onto our larger challenge which is to establish the roots of moderate and open minded Islam in a pluralistic society such as the United States.

I appreciate the moderate rhetoric, though question the need to use the word jihad. I realize he has met with President Bush ... and apparently also advocated removing Saddam Hussein. But some would suggest Imam Hassan Qazwini isn't the moderate he would profess.

This supposedly "moderate" Imam from the Detroit, Michigan-based Islamic Center of America (ICA) has some disturbing connections to radical Islamists that cannot be overlooked by a conservative President who has been entrusted by the American people to fight a war on global terrorism.

For starters, Imam Qazwini's Islamic Center once invited Nation of Islam leader Louis Farrakhan to be the keynote speaker at a memorial for its deceased founder Imam Mohamad Jawad Chirri.  At the time, Arab American News described his address as "dynamic" and "always controversial," and reported that he urged the Muslim community "to become politically active...[and] as powerful as the Zionists."

The Iman may well be a moderate in his beliefs, though he has also been linked to a group in Florida which has invited other anti-Semitic speakers in for conferences.

The key point that should not be overlooked is that "has met with President Bush" a known liar to the American people whose "war of choice" in Iraq has led to the deaths of 3000+ American troops and the wounding of nearly 40,000 more.

Some have speculated that the increasingly disasterous foreign policy will force congressional hearings which will expose the neo-cons' front man for the tool he is.
