Hugh Fitzgerald: Swift Current’s Muslim Community Hoping for Education on Islam in Wake of Mosque Shootings [Part I]

51

In Swift Current, local Muslims gave a thought not just to the Muslims killed in New Zealand, but to other Muslims, too — namely, themselves.

Following the deadly attack on two mosques in New Zealand, Swift Current’s Muslim community is reacting to the tragedy, which have claimed the lives of 49 people and have garnered vocal responses from local and global politicians.

After a prayer service at the Islamic Centre of Swift Current Friday afternoon, calls for tolerance, education, and inclusion were heard from its participants.

Story continues below advertisement

‘Mirvat Ouwayza, one of the participants in the prayer, spoke about her reaction, and said that inclusion is something she would strive towards.

Would that ‘inclusion” Ms.Ouwayza will “strive towards” mainly mean that Muslims should be included — welcomed — in the larger society? But they already are. There are no barriers to Muslim “inclusion” in liberal Canada, and this attack on a mosque in New Zealand — news of the “man bites dog” variety — hardly changes that. Wherever in the Western world Muslims have now settled, the obstacle to their “inclusion’” in the larger society is not the attitude of the indigenous Infidels, who have been remarkably welcoming, but rather, the attitude of Muslims who are taught, in the Qur’an, that they are the “best of peoples” while all non-Muslims are the “most vile of created beings.” It makes little sense for Muslims to wish to integrate with those who are the “most vile.” Besides, the Qur’an reinforces the message: “Do not take Christians and Jews as friends, because they are friends only with each other.”

“What happened in New Zealand is breaking our hearts, because they are innocent people. Whether they are Muslim or from different religions, it would be hurting our hearts, because any innocent people, they aren’t supposed to be killed in this way.”

Could Mirvat Ouwayza tell us what she thinks of the Muslim terrorists who murdered the Charlie Hebdo cartoonists in France? Does she think that blasphemy should be punished by killing, or does she believe that Muslims who wish to continue living in the West must accept the Western view that freedom of speech permits even what Muslims, or non-Muslims, might regard as blasphemy?

“All immigrants in general choose, for example, Swift Current, or Canada to be our home, because we are seeking safety – we are seeking to be in a good place for our children to be raised in. For this reason, we are here in Canada, and for sure we are all against racism [sic]against any religion. We are happy to live with all other religions in general.”

Why is it that Muslim immigrants seek safety in Canada, or other Western countries — the very safety that they do not find in their own, Muslim, countries of origin? Why are so many Muslim countries convulsed in violence, including Syria, Iraq, Yemen, Afghanistan, Pakistan? Why are so many Muslim countries run by family despotisms, including Saudi Arabia, United Arab Emirates, Kuwait, Bahrain, Jordan, Syria, Morocco? Why are so many Muslim countries run by authoritarian regimes, such as that of Erdogan in Turkey or of El-Sisi in Egypt or the military junta headed by Bouteflika in Algeria? Why are violence and aggression so much a part of life in the Muslim countries? Why do Muslims seeking a peaceful and quiet life find it only in Dar al-harb? These are questions those Muslims enjoying the peace and tranquillity of life among the Unbelievers in Swift Current, Newfoundland ought to be asking themselves. But will they?

Meanwhile, Anas is a Syrian refugee and entrepreneur, and noted that New Zealand’s deadliest-ever shooting highlighted the need for education about inclusivity.

“I think what happened was an isolated action. I condemn it – I condemn any type of violence against any person,” said Anas. “We are peaceful people, we like to live with peace with anybody, and I wish that the government does something to clarify the image [of muslims] that the media has portrayed around the world.”

Anas, even at this point, is still offering Taqiyya. “We [Musims] are peaceful people, we like to live with [sic] peace with anybody.” Not a hint of recognition that — let’s compose the desired response — “we too, Muslims, must examine what we learn and teach to make sure our lesson is one of peace and tolerance, not feigned but real. We have much that needs changing in our faith, we know that.”

“Whoever has a problem with Islam, I recommend them to come up to a Muslim person and ask them about anything that he’s in doubt with,” Anas explained. “Hopefully, we can avoid this type of violence in the future, as this obviously is a misunderstanding of Islam.”

“Come up to a Muslim person and ask them [sic]about anything that he’s in doubt about”? Here we are, not for the first or last time, being invited to Ask-A-Muslim Anything. Let’s take a brief intermission now, so as to come up with ten questions to Ask-That-Muslim.

Islam is considered the “religion of color”.
As Islam takes over Africa, imagine this….

Half of the world’s youth will be African
Apr 10, 2019
by Shannon Roberts –

In Africa the median age is 19.4 years;
In Europe it is 41.8 years.
Over 60 per cent of Africa’s population is under the age of 25,
and the continent’s population is expected to double by 2050.
In contrast, in Europe just 27 per cent of the population are under 25, and it is a continent in decline.

More than half of the world’s population growth out to 2050 will be in Africa, according to United Nations projections. So, the world will look a lot more African in 2050. And they will be young Africans.

What will this young, new generation have to offer the world, and how will they change it?

shitslam coincides with the dark ages…

The world’s largest and oldest library was in Alexandria, Egypt.

Accounts were given by:
-Persian traveler Abd-Al-Latif of Baghdad (1162-1231),
-Jamal Ad-din Al-Kufti (1169-1248), and
-Syrian prelate Bar Hebraeus (1226-1286)

that when Caliph Omar was asked in 642 AD what to do with the books in the library, he told his commander Amr bin al-Ass:

“Touching the books you mention, if what is written in them agrees with the Qur’an, they are not required; if it disagrees, they are not desired. Destroy them therefore.”

The account continued that the library books were burned to heat the city’s bath-houses for six months.

Other libraries in Babylon, Syria and Greece met similar fates.

“tolerance, education, and inclusion” … are more lies by Muslims.

1,400 … soon to be 1,500 years of ‘education’ has taught us there is no tolerance and no inclusion in Islam.

Tolerating and including Islam … is suicide.

Sooner or later … billions of people will pay with their lives for this malarkey.

“Let’s take a brief intermission now, so as to come up with ten questions to Ask-That-Muslim.” Ok.
1. Hey Mohammed, when you fu*k your neighbor’s horse, do you have to use a stool. You know, to get ‘up there?’
2. Do you let your wife give you tips on techniques when fu*king your neighbor’s horse?
3. Does your imam give you and your neighbor’s monetary incentives to plow as many sheep and donkeys in one month as you can?
4. Is it best to approach a sheep as it’s sleeping, or feeding out in the pasture?
5. How do you tell the difference between your wife and your favorite sheep?
6. Do you talk to the sheep after sex?
7. Who gets into it more, the sheep, or the donkey?
8. If you can plow a goat, hold a koran and do an FGM at the same time, are you given higher status in the dirty mosque?
9. When your daughter has her ‘bring your goat to school day’ do you have to give her ‘special instructions’ on what to tell her teacher?
10. When your finished with the sheep, do you send them off to the Battered Lambs Association of Afghanistan, or B-L-A-A?

Perhaps one way the more informed can help the gullible is to take the latter along when questioning one of the faithful about the RECORD of Islam in the west and elsewhere over 1400 years.

Perhaps the faithful could explain how it is that there’s no peace movement among Islamic societies and in light of that when would he like to come to Bible studies so he may reflect upon his many sins against the true God and his teachings.

However, as no muslim can do so much as to leave his bed in the morning before lying to the first kuffar he meets, make other plans for your day.

And remember, watch which of his hands you shake. It matters.

“In Swift Current, local Muslims gave a thought not just to the Muslims killed in New Zealand, but to other Muslims, too — namely, themselves.”
That’s funny, because I always give many thoughts about Americans killed by mozzlems on 9/11, at my hometown Boston Marathon, in San Bernadino, to the ethnic cleansing going on as we speak in Nigeria……I guess mozzlems don’t think or care about any of that.

Islam is only one generation away from extinction, if totally banned.
Islam is only 2 generations away from extinction if only partially banned, because their children become “westoxicated” by western culture.

Islam can only exist if it is allowed to live in a parallel society, this allows emams and clerics to perpetuate the Islamic warning at mosques,
This Islamic warning says basically, ” We know where you live and we will kill you and your family if you leave our death cult..” this is followed by the claim that Allah is most merciful and Islam is a religion of peace.

where Sharia law is allowed to control a physical space ( a no go zone) the very same government exists that made the ” refugees” flee in the first place.
A Somalian no go zone is run by Al- Shebab,..
A Palestinian no go zone is run by Hamas.. and so on..

Islam expands when mass immigration allows no go zones to ncrease in size until the local areas go to sectarian war against eachother,,

in this manner the highest order a society can acheive, is a repetitive apocalypse and mass genocide of most of the inhabitants
It is in reality the most true representation of Islam and remains unchanged since first conceived within the brain of a 6th century barbarian named Mohammad. .

this theory that Islam is peaceful is just insane. The are using that oil money to pay the media to paint a picture of ahab with his camel riding into the sunset playing his lute. What a crock! the media paints these murdering savages as peaceful? They wiped out the entire eastern church and most of the jews. Every murder they commit while praising Allah, is said to be just a fluke. Millions of flukes happen all the time right? Their murders and crimes are rarely reported.

Cult Members get to come to civilized countries mainly due to the greed and stupidity of politicians and other pedophile groups like Cathlic Church and the Puppet Pope Dipstick in Rome, Usually paid off by slime balls like Soros and Clinton Foundation not to mention Libtards by the score.

Notice that first thing they do once they arrive in the host country, after being set up in free housing and handfuls of cash, is to start with their scream/murder/intimidation tactics on the host population to quickly change to sharia law and allow them freedom?

If they are not willing to live by the laws of whichever country they bribe their way into then they should stay home with the sheep and goats that they force into professing great love for them.
