British MP warns that some Muslim children at primary school are dangerous fanatics

On 8/10/2008 Britain’s Schools Secretary suggested some primary school pupils were already displaying "early warning signs" of extremist attitudes. He called on teachers to challenge pupils sympathizing with terrorists. Guidance published by the Department for Children, Schools and Families outlined a series of recent examples of schoolchildren being confronted by extremist groups. Speaking as it was launched at a school in north London, Mr Balls said: "Violent extremism influenced by Al-Qaeda currently poses the greatest security threat but other forms of extremism and hate- or race-based prejudice are also affecting our communities and causing alienation and disaffection amongst young people…Our goal must be to empower our young people to come together to expose violent extremists and reject cruelty and violence in whatever form it takes.” British Officials also narrated how one primary age pupil started talking in a playground about "the duty of all true Muslims to prepare for jihad war as we grow up", as well as referring to the "7/7 martyrs" with admiration. After having lost the intellectual battle with Muslim adults and teenagers the British government is now turning its attention to brainwashing Muslim children below the age of 11. Soon this will prove to be futile and they will be forced to discuss with Muslim babies.

Canadian Masjid to recruit Muslims to fight in the army

On Wednesday, October 8, The Vancouver Sun reported that a Canadian masjid was hosting a military recruitment session that aims at drawing more Muslims into army ranks to join the fight in places like Afghanistan. Speaking to the newspaper, Imaad Ali, youth director at Al-Salaam Mosque said,”Our community takes great pride in our country”. The newspaper further stated that several members of the Armed Forces would be at the mosque to discuss career opportunities and answer questions from the community. They would try to highlight the army's Muslim-friendly accommodations, including halal meals and Muslim chaplains. Among those answering questions would be a senior Muslim naval officer who wears a specially-designed hijab. She would explain the rules regarding the uniforms of Muslim women in the military. It is a great shame that Muslims are using the Masjid to promote munkar and divide Muslims. Allah says:

وَالَّذِينَ اتَّخَذُوا مَسْجِدًا ضِرَارًا وَكُفْرًا وَتَفْرِيقًا بَيْنَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ وَإِرْصَادًا لِمَنْ حَارَبَ اللَّهَ وَرَسُولَهُ مِنْ قَبْلُ ۚ وَلَيَحْلِفُنَّ إِنْ أَرَدْنَا إِلَّا الْحُسْنَىٰ ۖ وَاللَّهُ يَشْهَدُ إِنَّهُمْ لَكَاذِبُونَ

“And those (hypocrites) who built a mosque to cause harm, and due to disbelief, and in order to cause divisions among the Muslims, and to await the one who is at the outset an opponent of Allah and His Noble Messenger; and they will surely swear that "We wished only good"; and Allah is witness that they are indeed liars.” [TMQ At-Tawba: 107]

Muslim’s massacred in India’s Assam region

On 9/10/2008 the economist magazine reported that Muslims in India’s Assam region were massacred by Hindus. From October 3rd to 7th, members of Assam’s largest tribe, the Boro fought bitterly with local Muslims, before troops and paramilitaries sent by the central government quelled the violence. By then, 53 people had died, 25 of them shot by the police, and 150,000 people had sought shelter in camps. The economist speculated that the motive behind the attacks was to subdue Indian Muslims who were willing to fight back. The episode is further proof that Indian’s coveted secularism has failed to provide peace and security to Indians 200 million plus Muslims. Indian Muslims must take it upon themselves to re-establish the Khilafah, so that can provide peace and security for Muslims as well as Hindus, Christians and Bhuddists.

Pakistani government wants Muslims to adopt America’s war against Islam
Lately, the Pakistani government has embarked on a relentless campaign to convince the Pakistani nation that they should support America’s war against Islam. The campaign uses posters, songs, current affair programmes as means of conveying this message. The message of supporting America’s war against Islam is disguised as war against the terrorist and militants. But the message is falling on deaf ears and rulers are repeatedly wondering why? This is because every sane Pakistani knows that before America’s occupation of Afghanistan, the tribal areas, Swat and the cities of Pakistan never witnessed such violence. Why the rulers cannot fathom this fact belittles their credentials to rule, and renders them unfit to lead.
