How to defeat radical Islam

$100 million Saudi dollars are available for the building of a Mosque near ground zero. That money is not available if the price of oil is $25 per barrel instead of $70 per barrel. Billions of Middle East dollars are buying media interests around the world to influence people’s perception of Islam. That money was not available in the early nineties when oil was $25 per barrel. The simplest and most cost effective way to stop the spread of radical Islam (and Islam in general) is to reduce our dependence on oil, period.

Top Muslims Condemn Ground Zero Mosque as a 'Zionist Conspiracy'

by Raymond Ibrahim

Pajamas Media

In a recent article, I argued that the Ground Zero mosque is counterproductive to Islam. The following day, on August 5, the Egyptian newspaper Al Masry Al Youm reported that none other than Al Azhar — one of Sunni Islam's most authoritative institutions — agrees. My translation of the relevant excerpt follows:

A number of Al Azhar ulema expressed their opposition to building a mosque near [where] the events of September 11 [occurred], convinced that it is "a conspiracy to confirm a clear connection between the strikes of September [11] and Islam." Dr. 'Abd al-Mu'ti Bayumi, a member of the Islamic Research Academy [of Al Azhar] told Al Masry Al Youm that he rejects the building of any mosque in this area [Ground Zero], because the "devious mentality" desires to connect these events [of 9/11] with Islam, though he maintains that Islam is innocent of this accusation. Instead, it is a "Zionist conspiracy," which many are making use of to harm the religion. Likewise, Dr. Amna Nazir, professor of doctrine and philosophy at Al Azhar, expressed her rejection that a mosque be built near the World Trade Center, saying: "Building a mosque on this rubble indicates bad intention — even if we wished to shut our eyes, close our minds, and insist on good will. I hope it is a sincere step, and not a new conspiracy against Islam and Muslims."

Press Release

Egyptian Media and Islamic Justice
by Dottore Architetto Ashraf Ramelah

A few days ago an Egyptian newspaper, Al-Ahram, reported the massacre of six Muslim employees of the Al-Mokauloon al Arab construction company and the wounding of six others when, apparently without warning or provocation, a Muslim bus driver stopped his bus, took out a rifle and began shooting. The incident took place about three hundred meters from the entrance of the company's office building. The driver then returned to his seat and drove the bus to its final destination.

Since the terrorist attacks of 9/11, it has become clear that there has been a seismic shift in the structure of global Islam, and from this situation is emerging an "age of sacred Terror", (1) in which "a new type of terrorism threatens the world, driven by networks of fanatics determined to inflict maximum civilian and economic damage [and] yearning for martyrdom and eager to kill".

The Tragedy of Egypt's Copts ...

by Tarek Heggy.

   In Egypt, the Copts are being denied access to certain high positions, deprived from the freedom to build new churches, and suffering from increasing suffocating fanaticism from all directions.

   My special interest in the Coptic question, which is known to many people, led me to conduct an in-depth study of the history of Christianity in Egypt, in an attempt to acquaint myself with the source of the Coptic culture in all its dimensions and aspects.  This entailed establishing close relations with hundreds, not to say thousands, of Copts, including many prominent figures of the Egyptian church.  A number of Coptic friends believe that the Coptic question has reached a critical stage, and others dismiss this as an imaginary problem with no basis in reality.

Muslims Debate asked Mr. Geert Wilders why he became anti-Islam and what is his message to the Muslims?

I first visited an Islamic country in 1982.

I was 18 years old and had traveled with a Dutch friend from Eilat in Israel to the Egyptian Red Sea resort of Sharm-el-Sheikh.

We were two almost penniless backpacking students.
