Conspiracy To Undermine Islam, Is there One?

[Nur]

Is there an Orchestrated Effort By A Shadowy Group, Within A Government Elelcted By The public To Undermine Islam Or Muslims Worldwide, Cause Wars, Invade Lands, Steal Resources, Overthrow Governmens Illegally, Use False information to Occupy Foreign Lands?

 

Are The current Problems in The Muslim World the result of the negligence of Muslims ALONE, or are the perpetrators of these problems behind the scenes?

 

Whos is the beneficiary of the current problems, violence and instability in the Muslim world?

 

 

This Thread is to opena an intellectual discussion on a topic that has never been treated on its own at SOL boards, to my knowledge at least, the way to approach such topics is to :

 

 

1. First unsderstand the definition of Conspiracy

 

2. To understand the current issues as they really are

 

3. To decide if indeed there is a connection, or if there is none :

 

 

To begin with, let us explore what the law says about Conspiracy:

 

 

Legal Definition of Conspiracy:

 

 

CONSPIRACY - 18 U.S.C. 371 makes it a separate Federal crime or offense for anyone to conspire or agree with someone else to do something which, if actually carried out, would amount to another Federal crime or

offense. So, under this law, a 'conspiracy' is an agreement or a kind of 'partnership' in criminal purposes in which each member becomes the agent or partner of every other member.

 

In order to establish a conspiracy offense it is not necessary for the

Government to prove that all of the people named in the indictment

were members of the scheme; or that those who were members had entered into

any formal type of agreement; or that the members had planned together all

of the details of the scheme or the 'overt acts' that the indictment

charges would be carried out in an effort to commit the intended crime.

 

Also, because the essence of a conspiracy offense is the making of the

agreement itself (followed by the commission of any overt act), it is

not necessary for the Government to prove that the conspirators actually succeeded in accomplishing their unlawful plan.

 

What the evidence in the case must show beyond a reasonable doubt is:

 

First: That two or more persons, in some way or manner, came to a

mutual understanding to try to accomplish a common and unlawful plan, as

charged in the indictment;

 

Second: That the person willfully became a member of such conspiracy;

 

Third: That one of the conspirators during the existence of the

conspiracy knowingly committed at least one of the methods (or 'overt acts')

described in the indictment; and

 

Fourth: That such 'overt act' was knowingly committed at or about the

time alleged in an effort to carry out or accomplish some object of the

conspiracy.

 

An 'overt act' is any transaction or event, even one which may be

entirely innocent when considered alone, but which is knowingly committed by a conspirator in an effort to accomplish some object of the conspiracy.

 

A person may become a member of a conspiracy without knowing all of

the details of the unlawful scheme, and without knowing who all of the

other members are. So, if a person has an understanding of the unlawful

nature of a plan and knowingly and willfully joins in that plan on one

occasion,that is sufficient to convict him for conspiracy even though he did

not participate before, and even though he played only a minor part.

 

Of course, mere presence at the scene of a transaction or event, or

the mere fact that certain persons may have associated with each other,

and may have assembled together and discussed common aims and interests,

does not necessarily establish proof of a conspiracy. Also, a person who

has no knowledge of a conspiracy, but who happens to act in a way which

advances some purpose of one, does not thereby become a conspirator.

 

A combination or agreement of two or more persons to join together to

attempt to accomplish some unlawful purpose. It is a kind of

'partnership in criminal purposes,' and willful participation in such a scheme or agreement, followed by the commission of an overt act by one of the conspirators is sufficient to complete the offense of 'conspiracy'

itself even though the ultimate criminal object of the conspiracy is not

accomplished or carried out. To establish the offense of 'conspiracy'

the Government must prove:

 

(1) That two or more persons in some way or manner, came to a mutual

understanding to try to accomplish a common and unlawful plan, as

charged in the indictment; (2) That the person willfully became a member of

such conspiracy; (3) That one of the conspirators during the existence of

the conspiracy knowingly committed at least one of the methods (or 'overt

acts') described in the indictment; and (4) That such 'overt act' was

knowingly committed at or about the time alleged in an effort to

effect or accomplish some object or purpose of the conspiracy.

 

A person may become a member of a conspiracy without full knowledge of

all of the details of the unlawful scheme or the names and identities of

all of the other alleged conspirators. So, if a person has an

understanding of the unlawful nature of a plan and knowingly and willfully joins in that plan on one occasion, that is sufficient to convict him for conspiracy even though he had not participated before and even though he played only a minor part.

 

Of course, mere presence at the scene of a transaction or event, or

the mere fact that certain persons may have associated with each other,

and may have assembled together and discussed common aims and interests,

does not necessarily establish proof of a conspiracy. Also, a person who

has no knowledge of a conspiracy, but who happens to act in a way which

advances some purpose of one, does not thereby become a conspirator.

 

An agreement between two or more persons to do an unlawful act or an

act which may become by the combination injurious to others. Formerly this

offence was much more circumscribed in its meaning than it is now.

Lord Coke describes it as 'a consultation or agreement between two or more

to appeal or indict an innocent person falsely and maliciously, whom

accordingly they cause to be indicted or appealed and afterwards the

party is acquitted by the verdict of twelve men.'

 

The crime of conspiracy, according to its modern interpretation, may

be of two kinds, namely, conspiracies against the public, or such as

endanger the public health, violate public morals, insult public justice,

destroy the public peace, or affect public trade or business.

 

To remedy these evils the guilty persons may be indicted in the name

of the commonwealth. Conspiracies against individuals are such as have a

tendency to injure them in their persons, reputation, or property. The

remedy in these cases is either by indictment or by a civil action.

 

In order to render the offence complete, there is no occasion that any

act should be done in pursuance of the unlawful agreement entered into

between the parties, or that any one should have been defrauded or injured by it. The conspiracy is the gist of the crane.

 

By the former laws of the United States, a willful and corrupt

conspiracy to cast away, burn or otherwise destroy any ship or vessel with intent to injure any underwriter thereon, or the goods on board thereof, or any lender of money on such vessel, on bottomry or respondentia, is made

felony, and the offender punishable by fine not exceeding ten thousand

dollars and by imprisonment and confinement at hard labor not

exceeding ten years.

 

By the old Revised Statutes of New York it is enacted that if any two

or more persons shall conspire either: 1. To commit any offence, or; 2.

Falsely and maliciously to indict another for any offence, or; 3.

Falsely to move or maintain any suit, or; 4. To cheat and defraud any person

of any property, by any means which are in themselves criminal, or; 5. To

cheat and defraud any person of any property, by means which, if

executed, would amount to a cheat, or to obtaining property by false pretences,or; 6. To commit any act injurious to the public health, to public morals,or to trade and commerce, or for the perversion or obstruction of

justice, or the due administration of the laws; they shall be deemed guilty of a misdemeanor. No other conspiracies are there punishable criminally.

And no agreement, except to commit a felony upon the person of another, or to commit arson or burglary, shall be deemed a conspiracy, unless some

act besides such agreement be done to effect the object thereof, by one or

more of the parties to such agreement.

 

When a felony has been committed in pursuance of a conspiracy, the

latter, which is only a misdemeanor, is merged in the former; but when a

misdemeanor only has been committed in pursuance of such conspiracy,

the two crimes being of equal degree, there can be no legal technical

merger.

A TIMELINE SURROUNDING SEPTEMBER 11TH - IF CIA AND THE GOVERNMENT WEREN'T INVOLVED IN THE SEPTEMBER 11 ATTACKS, WHAT WERE THEY DOING?

 

 

by Michael C. Ruppert

 

 

Nov. 2, 2001, 12:00 PST -- On Oct. 31 the French daily Le Figaro dropped a bombshell. While in a Dubai hospital receiving treatment for a chronic kidney infection last July, Osama bin Laden met with a top CIA official -- presumably the chief of station. The meeting, held in bin Laden's private suite, took place at the American hospital in Dubai at a time when he was a wanted fugitive for the bombings of two U.S. embassies and last year's attack on the USS Cole. Bin Laden was eligible for execution according to a 2000 intelligence finding issued by President Bill Clinton before leaving office in January. Yet on July 14, 2001 he was allowed to leave Dubai on a private jet, and there were no Navy fighters waiting to force him down.

 

In 1985 Oliver North -- the only member of the Reagan-Bush years who doesn't appear to have a hand in the current war -- sent the Navy and commandos after terrorists on the cruise ship Achille Lauro. In his 1991 autobiography "Under Fire," while describing terrorist Abu Abbas North wrote, "I used to wonder: how many dead Americans will it take before we do something?" One could look at the number of Americans Osama bin Laden is alleged to have killed before Sept. 11 and ask the same question.

 

It gets worse, much worse. A more complete timeline listing crucial events both before and after the Sept. 11 suicide attacks, which have been blamed on bin Laden, establishes CIA foreknowledge of them and strongly suggests that there was criminal complicity on the part of the U.S. government in their execution. It also makes clear that the events that have taken place since Sept. 11 are based upon an agenda that has little to do with the attacks.

 

[June 19, 2002] -- As the revelations of Bush Administration foreknowledge have progressed from silence, to trickle, to cascade, the question has now changed from forcing the evidence into the open into one of forcing both the media and the people to avoid denying this information in the hopes that their desire for a sense of "normalcy" can be fulfilled. As many of us have known for years, normalcy went out the window forever when the first plane hit the tower. And what has been revealed will not be resolved with an expensive fact-finding commission, a few firing, or even an impeachment proceeding. What is needed in America -- and in the global economic system -- is an overhaul, not a tune up.

 

1. 1991-1997 - Major U.S. oil companies including ExxonMobil, Texaco, Unocal, BP Amoco, Shell and Enron directly invest billions in cash bribing heads of state in Kazakhstan to secure equity rights in the huge oil reserves in these regions. The oil companies further commit to future direct investments in Kazakhstan of $35 billion. Not being willing to pay exorbitant prices to Russia to use Russian pipelines, the major oil companies have no way to recoup their investments.

August 2000 -- Suspected Al Qaeda operatives wiretapped by Italian police made apparent references to plans for major attacks involving airports, airplanes and the United States according to transcripts obtained by the Los Angeles Times. The Times suggests that the information might not have been passed to U.S. authorities (hard to believe), but it did report that Italian authorities would not comment on the report.

14. January 2001 - The Bush Administration orders the FBI and intelligence agencies to "back off" investigations involving the bin Laden family, including two of Osama bin Laden's relatives (Abdullah and Omar) who were living in Falls Church, Va. -- right next to CIA headquarters.

A number of UAE, Middle Eastern, European, and U.S. sources were cited in this CNN report, which said the CIA requested Jarrah be interrogated because he had been in Afghanistan and was suspected to have ties to terrorists. An unnamed CIA spokesman said the other sources' claims that the agency knew anything about Jarrah before Sept. 11 were "flatly untrue." Jarrah's Jan. 30 detainment at the airport in Dubai, UAE came six months after he took flying lessons in the U.S. Jarrah was released because "U.S. officials were satisfied," said the report.

16. Feb. 13, 2001 - UPI terrorism correspondent Richard Sale -- while covering a trial of bin Laden's Al Qaeda followers -- reports that the National Security Agency has broken bin Laden's encrypted communications.

20. June 8, 2001 - Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty (RFE/RL) publishes a story headlined, "Central Asia: Charges Link Russian Military to Drug Trade." According to the article, figures for 1999 published in a report by the United Nations Drug Control Program (UNDCP) revealed that 80 percent of the heroin consumed in Western Europe originated in Afghanistan and Pakistan. The UNDCP report also revealed half of the drugs in that 80 percent traveled through Central Asia. A study by the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace published in March 2000 said Russian soldiers headquartered in Tajikistan were suspected of helping drug traffickers by providing them with transportation facilities. This was confirmed by a Russian intelligence officer who told the Moscow News weekly, "You can come to an arrangement [with custom officials] so that the search of military transport planes remains purely formal.

26. summer 2001 - Jordanian intelligence, the GID, makes a communications intercept deemed so important that King Abdullah's men relay it to Washington, probably through the CIA station in Amman. To make doubly sure the message got through it was passed through an Arab intermediary to a German intelligence agent. The message: A major attack was planned inside the U.S., and aircraft would be used. The code name of the operation was "The Big Wedding." "When it became clear that the information was embarrassing to Bush Administration officials and congressmen who at first denied that there had been any such warnings before Sept. 11, senior Jordanian officials backed away from their earlier confirmations."

43. August/September 2001 - According to a detailed 13-page memo written by Minneapolis FBI legal officer Colleen Rowley, FBI headquarters ignores urgent, direct warnings from French intelligence services about pending attacks. In addition, a single Supervisory Special Agent (SSA) in Washington expends extra effort to thwart the field office's investigation of Zacarias Moussaoui, in one case rewriting Rowley's affidavit for a search warrant to search Moussaoui's laptop. Rowley's memo uses terms like "deliberately sabotage," "block," "integrity," "omitted," "downplayed," "glossed over," "mis-characterize," "improper political reasons, "deliberately thwarting," "deliberately further undercut," "suppressed," and "not completely honest." These are not terms describing negligent acts but rather, deliberate acts. FBI field agents desperately attempt to get action, but to no avail. One agent speculates that bin Laden might be planning to crash airliners into the WTC, while Rowley ironically noted that the SSA who had committed these deliberate actions had actually been promoted after Sept. 11.

44. Sept. 3-10, 2001 - MSNBC reports on Sept. 16 that a caller to a Cayman Islands radio talk show gave several warnings of an imminent attack on the U.S. by bin Laden in the week prior to 9-11.

 

45. early-September 2001 - An FBI internal document, based upon field notes from Minnesota field agents discloses that the agents had been investigating and had questioned the "20th hijacker," Zacarias Moussaoui. The field notes speculate that Moussaoui, who had been taking flight lessons, might crash an airliner into the WTC. Interestingly, the field agents' requests to obtain a search warrant for his personal computer were denied. French intelligence confirms to the FBI that Moussaoui has ties to terrorist groups and may have traveled to Afghanistan. The agents also had no knowledge of the Phoenix memo (See Item #18). One news story states that agents were in "a frenzy," absolutely convinced that he was "going to do something with a plane." [source: Newsweek, May 20, 2002 issue, story by Michael Isikoff].

At the same time two U.S. carrier battle groups arrive on station in the Gulf of Arabia just off the Pakistani coast. Also at the same time, some 17,000 U.S. troops join more than 23,000 NATO troops in Egypt for Operation "Bright Star." All of these forces are in place before the first plane hits the WTC.

Sept. 4-5, 2001 - A freshman at Brooklyn's New Utrecht High School who had recently emigrated from Pakistan reportedly predicts the destruction of the World Trade Center a week prior to the 9-11 attacks, according to the JournalNews newspaper in White Plains, N.Y. Citing "three police sources and a city official familiar with the investigation" as well as confirmation from the FBI that the bureau had received this information, the paper reported that in the midst of a heated class discussion the student pointed to the World Trade Center from a third story window and said, "Do you see those two buildings? They won't be standing there next week." New York City Board of Education spokeswoman Catie Marshall confirmed for the JournalNews "that school officials reported the matter to police within minutes of the Sept. 11 attack" and students told the paper that "FBI agents and NYPD detectives descended on the school on Sept. 13 to interrogate the student [who made the prediction] and others in his class," which was "an English class for Arab-American students."

Now, let's go back to the Oct. 31 story by Le Figaro -- the one that has Osama bin Laden meeting with a CIA officer in Dubai in July 2001.

 

The story says, "Throughout his stay in the hospital, Osama Bin Laden received visits from many family members [There goes the story that he's a black sheep! --MCR] and Saudi Arabian Emirate personalities of status. During this time the local representative of the CIA was seen by many people taking the elevator and going to bin Laden's room.

 

"Several days later the CIA officer bragged to his friends about having visited the Saudi millionaire. From authoritative sources, this CIA agent visited CIA headquarters on July 15, the day after bin Laden's departure for Quetta.

 

"According to various Arab diplomatic sources and French intelligence itself, precise information was communicated to the CIA concerning terrorist attacks aimed at American interests in the world, including its own territory.

 

"Extremely bothered, they [American intelligence officers in a meeting with French intelligence officers] requested from their French peers exact details about the Algerian activists [connected to bin Laden through Dubai banking institutions], without explaining the exact nature of their inquiry. When asked the question, What do you fear in the coming days?' the Americans responded with incomprehensible silence.

 

"On further investigation, the FBI discovered certain plans that had been put together between the CIA and its 'Islamic friends' over the years. The meeting in Dubai is, so it would seem, consistent with 'a certain American policy.'"

 

Even though Le Figaro reported that it had confirmed with hospital staff that bin Laden had been there as reported, stories printed on Nov. 1 contained quotes from hospital staff that these reports were untrue. On Nov. 1, as reported by the Ananova press agency, the CIA flatly denied that any meeting between any CIA personnel and Osama bin Laden at any time.

 

Who do you believe?

 

 

-------------------------------------------------

 

Of course Mr. Rupert has his own agenda too, but the question here of who to believe is that only simple people believe that manure that we are bottle fed day in and day out, an Animal Farm indeed.

 

 

Questions:

 

Is Al Qaeda a real group, is it a witch hunt, or a creation to serve a purpose , a higher one?

 

Can officials get away with crimes of this magnitude, is there a shadowy government within the government?

 

Why are the century old civil liberties suspended if the law was made to protect the publics freedom and liberties? are we bracing for a totalitarianism?

 

Who was behind the London bombing? and why would any sane person attack a friendly nation that has walked the streets to oppose the occupation of Iraq alongside all peace loving people?

 

Why does Bin Laden and Crew periodically send their threatening tapes just before an election and then disappear int thin air? has Holywood participated in the war of Terror to create Speilberg style rendition of Binladen and Company? I bet that Bin Laden made more money for Holywood than Micky Mouse.

 

Why are Bin Laden and company still at large after four years of state of the art searches, by Sattelliite cameras with resolution to capture a mosquito on Coffe Anans face, yet, Goodol bin Laden still manages to direct the deadliest attacks on America from his hideout in the pulverized mountains of Aghanistan, ( Are these girls Katrina and Rita , part of Bin Ladens Female Al Qaeda Plumbing Forces went haywire ?)

very interesting post Nur.

 

in number 2: To understand the current issues as they reaaly are

 

I would add that Peak Oil and the Rise of China, specialy its need for more and more imported oil, have much influence in the current events that are taking place.

 

when we speak of Islam and Conspiracy, in this subject to be specific, i take it we are focusing on the Middle East(Iraq) and Central Asia(Afghanistan). If you study Peak Oil and the reserves that are left in the world, you will see a pattern that is unmistakable, starting long before the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan.

 

It looks like a chess game, what we are seeing now, is just a increase in speed of the moves, the end game.

 

a site for those interested in Peak Oil,

The following is the oldest topic I could gather from my archives after the 911 tragedy, it was prophetic, so predictive, a coolition of the willing was formed by bribing Palau and Poland, to join the purported war on terror, I pretty much figured it that early, that US was eyeing Iraq as a scape goat for securing cheap Oil, in addition to other strategic regional plans. My joke was realized as a fact.

The Rational to Attack Afghanistan

The Simplistic View

 

 

An Imaginary Discussion in The White House After 911 Tragedy .

 

 

Bush: Who are these terrorists?

 

FBI Chief: Saudis, at least they hold Saudi passports

 

Bush: What can we do about that?

 

Powell: Saudi Arabia can not be bombed, they supply us with oil

 

Bush: That terrorist Mohammad Atta, is an Egyptian, may be we can bomb Egypt

 

Powell: No Mr. President, Egypt is our ally, they made peace with Israel

 

Bush: But he was trained in Germany, those Germans hate us, don't they?

 

Powell: Germany lost the war, they are no longer against the allies, besides they no longer like wars, and they are busy making Mercedes Benz, they need our market.

 

Bush: Where did Mohammed Atta learn flying planes?

 

FBI Chief: Florida, Sir

 

Bush: S---, I can?t bomb Florida, Brother Jeb Bush is there, he can get hurt

 

FBI Chief: We have reports that the Mafia may be behind this attack, Sir.

 

Bush: If we define all Pizza Parlors as legitimate strike targets, that would be unpopular with Italian Americans and Catholics, besides, Rudolph Giuliani is well liked for his heroism.

 

FBI Chief: We have a claim by the Japanese Red Brigade, Sir

 

Bush: Japan has surrendered to us in WWII, they are not in military confrontation with us anymore, and economically speaking, Japan and Germany are still a threat, d---.

 

FBI Chief: Mr. President, we also have reports of Anti Globalization suspects

 

Bush: These are good looking, clean-shaven white boys, no one will accept that they are terrorists.

 

Powel: How about blaming it on Iraq, Sir?

Bush: That is too boring, I want to do something original.

 

Powell: How about blaming it on the CIA, they trained Osama Bin Ladin.

 

Bush: My dad was their chief I can?t incriminate my own Dad, are you crazy?

 

Powell: My last guess would be the Mossad of Israel; you see Sharon is under fire and he needs to divert international scrutiny to Terrorism, he may have pulled this one to get off the hook while he finishes his domestic fall Home cleaning.

 

Bush: Blaming congress is far easier than blaming Sharon, any more ideas?

 

Powell: Then let the FBI and the CIA investigate this issue some more and when credible evidence emerges, let us handle it in the international courts of law like we did with the TWA Libyan hijackers case.

 

Bush: Remember next election is only three years away

 

Powel: So what should we do Mr. President?

 

Bush: I think we should strike somewhere very soon, I want to look like a hero during thanksgiving, so Americans can watch the censored evening news to enjoy their turkey and their tax money at work going after the bad boys.

 

Powell: How should we rationalize such a move Mr. President?

 

Bush: A War against terrorism

 

Powell: That is too broad Mr. President; we need a more accurate objective, Sir?

 

Bush: Destroying Bin Laden hideouts in Afghanistan, with high tech laser guided CNN camera carrying missiles.

 

Powell: The Russians lost 100,000 soldiers in Afghanistan Sir, in ten years.

 

Bush: Then let us form a Coalition of Nations against terrorism; we legitimize it as an international effort like my dad did it in the Gulf War, I am sure the British will follow us, they owe us one for the Falklands, later, we can drag Europeans along, we've liberated them in WWII after all, we can count on their support. In addition, we will persuade A-rabs and even I-ranians who hate Taliban Sunnis, you see this is the best strategy, and to make it decisive , we tell everybody, to choose either Freedom or Terrorism.

 

Powell: Fine with me Mr. President, if that is what you want,

 

Powell: Talking to himself (I am going to write a book about this, a practical objective indeed)

Conspiracy Theory, a la carte

 

From the Anarchist: An e-Nuri Publication For The Politically Challenged.

 

 

Banana Terrorism

 

e-Nuri News Analyses

 

 

Not Quite The News

 

 

The US Administration is weighing the possibility of declaring war on Somalia after reports that Somali refugees have thrown bananas on Park Avenue in New York, causing many American pedestrians to slip and fall, some with injuries. The banana samples used in these attacks were traced to a small town in Somalia called Afgoi which presents a fresh evidence of complicity of Somalis to commit Banana terrorism to hurt innocent pedestrians along Park Avenue and in affect creating a new weapon of MOSS destruction ( Moss is Somali means Banana) which among other things can cause loss of balance and a lot of laughter for the onlookers, which in turn can endanger their intelligence, the Administration has equated this threat to that of Iraq, and the threat is being taken too seriously by the white House staff as the president ordered bananas for lunch today.

 

 

The administration is taking the case to the UN to get an approval to declare war on Somalia and rid the country of the war lords who have caused a lot of destruction the past 12 years. The administration is looking for the funniest guy in Somalia to lead this nation to happiness after years of pain and sorrow. The White House report shows clear evidence that all the Somali leaders went bananas, and if they are not stopped, the whole world can follow suit. The USA is sharing this report with many countries and specially China the most populous nation in the world, which is worried that if the banana threat comes to china, it will be the most important historical event since the construction of the Great Wall of China.

 

The administration will appoint a commission of advisors for the Somali American banana wars led by the CEO of Dole fruit company who will oversee the dibananaization of Somalis so that Somalia will never be used as launching pad for banana terror aimed at making fun at American citizens walking down American streets. The Banana war will be led by Dole and other fruit companies in Florida citrus belt, California Fruit growers, McDonalds Restaurants and Red Lobster Restaurants. Red Lobster Restaurants have shown interest in the giant Somali Lobsters that are threatening the Dubai markets and destabilizing the Lobster prices which can cause Lobster wars for the unknown kind.

 

As a response to the American possible invasion, the spokesman for the 15 Banana Warlord Governments in Somalia is threatening to use a secret banana formula that will make Americans laugh too much and loose control of their guns during landing, which will make them ineffective to control the Banana farms in Afgoi, The white House meanwhile, is taking this news as a new threat which is sending shockwaves across the Banana complex in Guatamala and Equador.

A Message From Nairobi

Mr. Cag Bakayle, Acting Chairman and Chief strategist

Somali Anarchist Armchair Commodores

 

 

I have been too busy these days with Anarchiland Somalia' entrepreneurial business development, I was about to auction the Jawhar Isbaara for failing business, when I heard a Scoopy Doo cartoon from Denmark trivializing our Prophet Muhammad SAWS which we Somalis, orderly and anarchists alike agree that its uncalled for and insensitive to our feelings (whatever left of it), just like trivializing the Holocaust is insensitive to Jews, which no newspaper dares to publish, a testament that freedom of speech is mufffled by money in the west, and guns in the east, making the faithful Muslims the only group with no money and no guns ( I am talking about 11 thousand Nuclear warheads arsenal of NATO) in this case though, emotions are running high on the Muslims streets, and many Eurppeans may get hurt or bitten by angry Muslims in Cairo and istanbul, in my opinion, this event sure fits in with the big picture of the e-Nuri Conspiracy theory, hmmmmmm......Could this incident be a precursor of a wider West vs Islam conflict in the making? in which the unwilling Europeans are being dragged into an uglier trans-continental war with many possible outcomes metamorphosing into a NEW WORLD ORDER (DISORDER A LA BUSH)

Is this Tom and Jerry Cartoon business a masked bait for Muslims to bite, to be dragged to violence against western interests to neccetitate a military intervention of sorts, to secure a popular support of passive European voters for an Iranian invasion by NATO, which makes Iraq and Iran the new Democrtaic Nations on the block to satisfy the ever increasing Oil appetite of Europe and Norh America? of course with the pretext of civilizing these turbaned politicians?

 

 

Well, As Somali Anarchists, we feel comfortable with a Chaotic world, everytime we worry about order coming our way, we get a new life, our friends in the west make the world more chaotic, I guess it will take another 15 years before Coffee Anaan looks our way, well, back to Anarchi in Somalia, misery loves company.

^^^Good research...You are really an intelligent man..God help you brother..I noted many things from this paragraphs..

[Sayyid]

Is there an Orchestrated Effort By A Shadowy Group, Within A Government Elelcted By The public To Undermine Islam Or Muslims Worldwide, Cause Wars, Invade Lands, Steal Resources, Overthrow Governmens Illegally, Use False information to Occupy Foreign Lands?

 

Are The current Problems in The Muslim World the result of the negligence of Muslims ALONE, or are the perpetrators of these problems behind the scenes?

 

Whos is the beneficiary of the current problems, violence and instability in the Muslim world?

 

Yes, I do believe that there is a conspiracy to undermine Islam and muslims worldwide by a elite within western governments and societies.

 

It is well documented in the Holy Quran, in which Allaah confirms not to take those who have "disbeliefed" as "friends" and "protectors", also Allaah the exalted made it very clear in his divine book that kaafirs plot and plan against the muslims everytime and it is mostly driven by the wish "that" we as muslims "join" them in their "disbelief" and act like they do. Allaah the glorified mentioned that they will never accept us until "we" belief what they "belief" i.e. idoltry and multiple gods such as money, clothes and other materialistic stuff.

 

On the other hand Allaah subxaanah wa tacaal said that the "kaafirs" plan and plot against the muslims but also Allaah the glorified "plans" himself and Allaah is the best "planner"!

 

From that we can see that they plot against the muslims and the religion of Allaah but their plans and plots will be a "failure" because as long as we trust Allaah, Allaah the exalted will not "turn" his "back" at us because he is the best planner and truely we trust his wisdom and supreme will.

 

I believe it is because of the "emigration" of the muslims from their faith that certain aspects of this "conspiracy" has actually produced some results for the infidels!

 

"We" collectively as muslims need to "return" to the book of Allaah the exalted and the Sunnah of the last prophet of god peace be upon him, his family and companions.

 

Only then will we get out of this "circle" of uncertainity, humiliation and defeat! We have been warned a long time ago but I am glad that muslims are realising their strength in menpower, capital and good people who can guide this ummah to success!

 

The Kaafirs need us, that's why they don't want to offened muslims but the ignorant "jews" are pushing them from behind in order to escalte the situation. No one actually benefited from this "violance" except the muslims because finally they're smelling the coffee and realising their strength and power.

 

Islam is supreme and we have to work to spread the risala of Allaah in order to make his divine word the highest and most supreme regardless what the "establishments" think of this act.

 

We are strong enough and if we would today stop the "oil" that is coming out from the middle east the whole western world would come to a standstill, but because of our "weak" leaders and the decline of the faith of the majority of the muslims who only think about the next car they're going to purchase, we wouldn't be allowing that kind of sell out tha his happening in the Khaleej and arabian peninsula, who have been blessed with the "black gold" and other resources such as gas etc.

 

We need a islamic "revolution" who will top off the "sell-outs" that are currently leading us.

 

Islam is supereme and it will become the dominant religion and force of this world very soon inshallh!

 

BTW this whole scenerios remind me of the scenes that preceeded the events of 1939 in Europe, but this time "we" are the victims of the coming genocide that is coming our way!

 

I can only laugh at those who think that is Islam is compatibable with western "democracy" (nobody knows what democracy really is) or the notion of western liberalism, they are indeed deluded and diluded as well.

 

They have to wake up and realise the struggle and the "backclash" of socities that is going to be part and parcel for the past and coming twenty years inshallah.

 

On which side will you be on, on the infidels side or the muslims side? I hope that you have thought about that!

 

Islam is an ideology and we as "muslims" have a religious "duty" to spread this "ideology" in all ways and means we can. We will call people upon and towards islam but if their "elites" and establishments refuses we will say to them pay then the "jizyah" and if they refused that we have to overcome them by force.

 

"Oh Allaah glorified you are, help us and "your" religion to fulfill its requirements and what you set out for it to achieve. Give us your victory and help us to destroy "your" enemies and the enemies of Al-Islaam! Ameen."

^ yes guys thats exactly it. I stupidly tried to explain it away with the chronic and self imposed lack of good governance, responsability, education, the poverty, fraud, corruption, accountability, respect for human rights.

 

I mean how dump, i should of realised it was the isrealis pulling the strings and all we needed was the caliphate revolution.

 

Let the heads roll.

What a charismatic smile bro. Your smile is killing a lotta Xalimos on-line, Oh and your 70s Afro Hairdo, could be a test if you are not planning to tie up with a Xalimo on-line anytime soon, courtesy of e-Nuri Mariage counsellors. You see Caano Geel, it was reported that a good looking fellow like yourself was blamed for tempting the girls of Madina during the Caliphate of Omar, Omar ordered his hair shaved, The Caliph was told the guy looks even more handsome, captivating and a threat to the girls in Madina, Omar ordered the guy to be austed from Madina city limits altogether.

 

I am not suggesting such an austere measure in your case, a simple e-Nuri Questionnaire on these boards will do to see how many Xalimo felt tested by your looks, and if a threat is detected, a simple Photoshop rendering will do the trick, also, the Caliphate is not here yet, you can sigh with relief, but at one step a day pace, Islam is coming, and we are collectively working toward that end with Allah's help so you too can smell the cappuccino, so dont worry from the Caliphate anytime soon my bro. you can still enjoy sipping your favored Caano Geel in your civilized western setting while throwing blame right and left in the meantime exempting yourself from any real role to make a difference.

 

But for once bro., think that by having a different opinion a Nomad is not neccessarily a stoopid, when we fail considering a different point of view, we may not see the full picture of what is going on, your observation of our faults goes without saying, but like kids building a sand castle on the beach, looking out for violent waves is as important as decorating the sand castle.

Bro Nur,If we disregard the ambiguous and highly speculative personifying of Brother Caano Geel, where does he, or anybody(that fails to grasb and embarrass this theory of conspiracy) for that matter could have gone so wrong and miss the supposedly point-blank proof you seemingly to have presented for this highly contagious accusal of conspiring against Islam?.

 

I neither doubt the pure heartedness of Caano geel and his disappointment in the lack of consistency in the conspiracy theory nor do i doubt your good will of "get it right ", So i can´t let go but point at the Islamist cacophony that is reaching a fever pitch at the face of Caano geel´s innocent hint at the lack of convincing proof for the hidden cry of "let heads roll" behind the "I´m beeing cospired against" mofo.

 

Brother Nur, Once you start pointing a finger , it better be the right finger, unless you can proof who might conspire against Islam , your finger pointing runs the risk of beeing percieved as a loony reason for a hidden agression.

 

and that no more nor less is what brother Caano geel has pointed at.

[Nur]

JB bro.

 

If religion was a football game, Muslims represent a team and kufr represents another, each team has a goal and the two at times are in conflict, as such in the absence of a regulatory body ( There is non for world religions to do the policing ) we get into a mess of sorts, the goal post is kept moving and out of frustration Muslims feel cheated, the play is not on level grounds, we call it rigging or fixing in the sports. In politics, we call it dirty games, Nixon wire tapped the Democrats, and the conspiracy became the famous watergate scandal.

 

But, I respect your prudence, and your choice of explaining everything that happens to Muslims as a Coincidence, a coincidence by design may be? . Saxib The dilemma is how to prove a Conspiracy of this magnitude, because its based on utter secrecy, no one will ever admit to it, and no court is big enough to try it on earth as the accused wields more temporal power than the victim. But if the daily dose of lies that is being unearthed on a daily basis is a measure, Cag Bakayle, Chairman of the Somali Anarchist Union, has more integrity and credibility than these politicians, So, the best thing we can do here at SOL, is pose the question, the real answer will only be known in the next life, how interesting?. The most famous conspiracy story in the Quran is that of Prophet Josef, another coincidence that the same evil is taking place in the same lands.

nuur saaxiib, without waxing lyrical about my 'fro and yes my smile is a killa, lets discuss the point.

 

> luxury

Yes i do have the luxury of sibbing my fav. caano geel, in fact as i write this, it is black cardamom expresso with a bit of hot water and one spoon of sugar, and i am grateful to the mercy of allah for giving me the opportunity.

 

> throwing blame right and left

 

1. there is problem with the muslim world

--> yes

2. its the fault of blah

--> no, IT IS OURS

 

 

> having a different opinion a Nomad is not neccessarily a stoopid,

 

Yes your right, but depends on the point. I dont like your point because it absolved us - yes me and you of the blame.

 

Ultimately, the argument you present is that of salvation, come with us and we will save you and i dont buy it, if for nothing else institutions in this world care more for their greed than their faith.

 

You want to see a stable and successfull muslim umma, do a bit of intraspection and try to address the real problems that face the ordinary people. So since we're not kids and lets start talking about building sand banks before we start decorating.

[Nur]

Caano Geel bro.

 

For you to write off any other explanation for our decadence other than our own self inflicted wound is simplistic at best, no problem of this magnitude has a single solution set, and this is no different, so I agree with you to our contribution to the problem, and to that end lets be practical about it, lets identify the problems, analyse the causes, devise solutions, prioretize them and then walk our talk.

 

On a personal level, what should each and every Muslim do to reverse this evil cycle? Your response will show the depth of your understanding of the problems at hand.

Yes it is simplistic, but ultimately you are can only change your actions, to other, your opinion are just another choice. Therefore if we're being practical, for this reason if nothing else i dont see the point in the blames you lay.

 

We know that muslims are victimised, we know that they are oppressed, but muslims are implicitly complicit for fostering cultures that perpetuate the victim mentality.

 

Now tell me how many lectures you've been to that you about the hardship and pain of muslims suffer in the world and ask for your contribution to support the struggle. And how many tell you how muslims can integrate their societies in the world and better the quality of life for the ordinary people, the ask for your support to foster businnesses to provide livelyhoods for muslim?

Dude, to be honest phrasing your question in a manner of an exam whose worth you judge i find kinda insulting - however i'll go along with ya and try to cover my back, so prepare your pigeon hole.

 

Personal:

treat everybody how you would like to be treated

 

Religiously:

treat everybody how you would like to be treated

 

Econonicaly:

treat everybody how you would like to be treated

 

Political:

support and foster institution that aim to treat everybody how you'd like to be treated

 

what will this do for muslims?

 

give ordinary muslims the opportunity to better their quality of life and have a collective voice with respect and legitemacy rather than the mixture pitty and indifference we currently recieve in a world that is more than happy to turn over the weak.

 

Now back to your orginal proposition of the 'Conspiracy To Undermine Islam'

 

yes there is one, religion is exclusive, it has a basic of us not them, the aim of every religion is to show you that its set of believes are it not the others. What your aiming to ask is 'why are muslims all too often the victims of humiliation, abuse and riducle?'
