Another ‘Moderate’ GZ Mosque Supporter Can’t Bring Himself to Call Hamas a Terrorist Organization
National Review ^ | Andrew c. McCarthy

Posted on 08/25/2010 7:57:04 PM PDT by ventanax5

Last night, I was on David Asman’s Fox Business Channel show, Scoreboard, debating Imam Dawoud Kringle of the New York State prison system, a GZ mosque supporter. Imam Kringle, who seems like a nice enough fellow, reeled off the usual talking points about how Islam forbids terrorism and, therefore, if someone commits an act of terrorism that act is, by definition, un-Islamic.

Then came the moment of truth: the very simple question, “Is Hamas a terrorist organization?” Have a look at the YouTube clip below. Like his friend Imam Feisal Rauf, Imam Kringle won’t answer the question. I pressed him, pointing out that it is a very simple question. And it is: Quite apart from the fact that Hamas is formally designated as a terrorist organization under U.S. law, Hamas’s own charter makes abundantly clear — indeed, wears like a badge of honor — that Hamas exists solely for the purpose of driving Israel out of Palestine by violent jihad. Yet the imam cannot bring himself to say Hamas is a terrorist organization.

it would be impressive if we all could become familiar enough with the Koran so we could quote to the soothe sayers passages which direct violence against non-believers.

They need to know that we know. And, as I have been told, it is the more modern documents where these mostly are found.

If you wish to trace the roots of “Modern Islamic Terrorism” you need to go no farther back than 1940.

In 1940 there was an Islamic sponsored revolt in Syria, at that time a French supervised, under the League of nations charter. The uprising was pushed by the grand Mufi of Damascus. When the French put down the revolt the Grand Mufi fled to Berlin where he was received by Adolph Hitler.

Afterward an Armed SS Division of Muslin volunteers was raised for duty in the Balkans. That division was used primarily for anti-partisian duties. This lead directly to the current anti-Islamic feelings in the Balkins not the Islamic occupation from the mid 17th century.

The Islamic Brotherhood was founded in the late 1940s and much of its original political thoughts were copied directly from Mien Kamph.

Unfortunately this bit of information, while available on the web, was never taught in American schools and has been totally ignored by the MSM in their individual and collective reporting from the region.

I like to quote the President of Eqypt. “There is no such thing as Moderate Islam. There is only Islam”. He should know.
