A prayer to Allah to “destroy the enemies of Islam, and annihilate the heretics and the atheists” is not just a request directed to the deity. The Qur’an explicitly says that Allah will punish people by the hands of the believers: “Fight them; Allah will punish them by your hands and will disgrace them and give you victory over them and satisfy the breasts of a believing people, and remove the fury in the believers’ hearts.” (9:14-15) Thus Kathrada may be issuing a call to action to believers who think it incumbent upon themselves to heed this Qur’anic directive and become instruments of Allah’s wrath.

Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden promised on Wednesday that Muslim Americans would serve at “every level” of his administration. In a video message to civil rights organization Muslim Advocates, Biden repeated his pledge to repeal the Trump administration's travel ban on his first day in office. The former vice president added that he would push for legislation to fight a rise in hate crimes in the United States, according to media reports. “As president, I'll work with you to rip the poison of hate from our society, honor your contributions and seek your ideas,” Biden said in the video address. “My administration will look like America, Muslim Americans serving at every level,” he added.

The Iran Lobby, the Pakistan Lobby, and the Muslim Brotherhood are funding Biden.

Now, Vienna
If Western Europe is to survive . . .
Although I’ve lived in Europe since 1998 and traveled widely on the continent ever since, I’d never set foot in Austria until November of two years ago, when I spent a few days in Vienna. I enjoyed the visit so much that I went back in September of last year. I’d hoped to make these visits an annual practice, but the pandemic got in the way.
Meanwhile, I found myself writing a great deal about the U.S. presidential campaign, which shifted my focus away from my longtime principal topic, Islam in Europe. Also contributing to this shift was the fact that terrorism in Europe went through something of a lull. Yes, there were those horrible beheadings in France, which I wrote about. But for the most part I was preoccupied with Trump vs. Biden.
Then, on Monday evening, in an effort to clear my mind of all thoughts about the election, I sat down with my partner to re-watch The Americans, the best drama series in the history of American television. While we were watching it, he said that something had happened in Vienna. I replied that he must have misunderstood: nothing in the entire series has ever had anything to do with Vienna. He said no, he was talking about the real world. I looked over to see that he’d been checking the news on his phone.
Vienna! Multiple shooters, it was reported, had opened fire at several locations in the city center. Latest reports from the BBC indicate that two men and two women were killed and twenty-two more wounded, most of them apparently shot outside of bars and restaurants.
One of the terrorists, a 20-year-old with dual North Macedonian and Austrian citizenship who carried a rifle, a pistol, and a machete, was shot dead by police; reports are that he was imprisoned in April of last year “after trying to get to war-torn Syria to join Islamic State (IS) jihadists,” but was given early release in December “under more lenient terms for young adults.” Home searches in Vienna led to the arrests of several suspects; two others were arrested in a nearby town. As of this afternoon, Vienna time, people were being urged to stay inside, and to keep children out of school, while the police hunt down other suspects; 90% of stores in downtown Vienna were closed.
In its report, the BBC noted that in recent years Austria had largely been spared the kind of terrorist acts that have taken place elsewhere in Western Europe. Let it be remembered, however, that it was in Vienna, 337 years, seven weeks, and four days ago, that the united forces of much of Christendom, under the command of Polish king Jan III Sobieski turned back the army of the Ottoman Empire, thereby effectively quashing an Islamic threat to Europe that has been revived only in the last few decades.
Eastern European leaders have long made clear their determination to stand up to Islam; in an October 2 speech, French President Emmanuel Macron, formerly wishy-washy on the topic, seemed to channel his own Jan Sobieski, issuing a ringing affirmation of French secularism and condemning decades of creeping Islamization in French institutions. And Austria’s own chancellor, Sebastian Kurz, is arguably tougher on the enemy within than any other head of state in Western Europe, closing foreign-funded mosques, deporting dangerous imams, and spearheading an initiative to uproot the influence of “political Islam” in Austria.
All very good, but not enough. If Western Europe is to survive, its leaders need to get on the same page – defending human freedom and civilization against a barbaric ideology of violent conquest and oppression. So do the Western European media, such as the Financial Times, which only hours after the attacks in Vienna posted a ridiculous article in which Brussels correspondent Mehreen Khan accused Macron of “stok[ing] moral panic about the ‘Muslim question,’” and the Guardian, which on November 1 ran a despicable column in which Simon Tisdall essentially blamed the recent beheadings in Paris and Nice on Macron’s October 2 speech.
And what are the chances of that? Well, consider this: yesterday afternoon, according to Reuters, police in seven European countries – the UK, Germany, France, Italy, Greece, Norway, and the Czech Republic – took part in “coordinated raids.” They searched 83 apartments and questioned 96 suspects. What were those suspects suspected of? Planning jihadist attacks? No. Of writing “hateful posts…online” about guess who.
Canada: Imam Denounces Free Speech, Trudeau Agrees
Canadian PM talks “respect” for Muslims, while Imam issues veiled threats.
Samuel Paty, the French schoolteacher who was recently beheaded for showing his class a cartoon of Islam’s prophet Muhammad, was a “cursed individual,” an “evil-spirited man,” a “filthy excuse for a human being,” according to the Canada-based imam and Islamic scholar Younus Kathrada. The learned imam complained that Muslims had objected to Muhammad cartoons for years, but “nobody bothered listening.” However, Kathrada quickly picked up an ally who echoed his remarks, albeit more mildly: asked about the cartoons, Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau said, “Freedom of expression is not without limits.”
Those limits include, apparently, material that offends Muslims. Trudeau explained: “We will always defend freedom of expression. But freedom of expression is not without limits. We owe it to ourselves to act with respect for others and to seek not to arbitrarily or unnecessarily injure those with whom we are sharing a society and a planet.”
Trudeau reached for a hoary example: “We do not have the right for example to shout fire in a movie theatre crowded with people, there are always limits.”
Yes. There is no right to incitement to violence or criminal activity. Deliberately causing a panic when there is nothing to panic about, however, is markedly different from doing something entirely innocuous, i.e., drawing a cartoon, that offends the sensibilities of a particular group. If offense to a group, any group, is criminalized, that group has a free hand to do whatever it wants, including illegal activity, up to and including the imposition of tyrannical rule, without fear of opposition.
Instead of the equality of rights of all people before the law, a special protected class is established with privileges beyond those of other groups. Thus what Justin Trudeau is saying here subverts the very idea of a free society.
Trudeau himself, however, actually cloaked his surrender to violent intimidation in the garb of the very pluralism he was advocating be effectively destroyed: “In a pluralist, diverse and respectful society like ours, we owe it to ourselves to be aware of the impact of our words, of our actions on others, particularly these communities and populations who still experience a great deal of discrimination.”
He could have been responding to Kathrada’s complaint about how Muslim rage over the Muhammad cartoons had been ignored for years: “We know that some years ago, in some European countries, they published cartoons, claiming that these were depictions of the Prophet, insulting cartoons, depicting him as a criminal. That happened some years ago, and more recently it has happened again. Of course the Muslims objected, years ago, and the Muslims objected again, but this time, not as strongly as they did before. But nobody bothered... Nobody paid attention to what the Muslims said... And why should they? Because we, now, are a humiliated people – there is no worth to us – so nobody bothered listening.” This happened again, he said, just recently: “In any event, not too long ago, a teacher in France chose to show those insulting cartoons to his class, at school. And of course, some of the Muslim students who were there were very annoyed and upset and they objected – as did their parents. They spoke up, but nobody bothered listening to them. Nobody paid any attention to them.”
Kathrada need not continue to nurse his hurt feelings: Justin Trudeau appears ready to make sure that Muslims are “a humiliated people” no more, even at the expense of one of the principal foundations of any free society.
Trudeau, however, would be well advised to listen carefully and ponder the implications of some of the other things Kathrada said, particularly his characterization of Paty and the jihadi who beheaded him: “Then, about a week ago, it is said – I repeat, it is said – that a young Muslim man confronted this cursed individual, he confronted this evil-spirited man, he confronted this filthy excuse for a human being, on the street, and he beheaded him.”
Kathrada gave no hint that he was upset about the murder. It was not Paty’s murderer who was a “cursed individual,” an “evil-spirited man,” a “filthy excuse for a human being”; these epithets were reserved only for the man who dared to show a Muhammad cartoon and was murdered for doing so. Kathrada also prayed: “Oh Allah, give strength to Islam and Muslims, and humiliate the infidels and the polytheists. Oh Allah, destroy the enemies of Islam, and annihilate the heretics and the atheists….Oh Allah, support those who wage jihad for Your same everywhere….Oh Allah, annihilate all those who slandered Your Prophet Muhammad.”
A prayer to Allah to “destroy the enemies of Islam, and annihilate the heretics and the atheists” is not just a request directed to the deity. The Qur’an explicitly says that Allah will punish people by the hands of the believers: “Fight them; Allah will punish them by your hands and will disgrace them and give you victory over them and satisfy the breasts of a believing people, and remove the fury in the believers’ hearts.” (9:14-15) Thus Kathrada may be issuing a call to action to believers who think it incumbent upon themselves to heed this Qur’anic directive and become instruments of Allah’s wrath.
The upshot of this is that Trudeau may soon find that he will have to limit the freedom of expression not just out of “respect” for Muslims, but out of the genuine concern that if he doesn’t, some Muslims will commit acts of violence in Canada. Standing up for the freedom of speech and stopping this violent thuggery doesn’t seem to be on the table, at least not in the worker’s paradise to our immediate north.
