Why Don't More Muslims Speak Out Against Islamic Extremism? Part II

Moderate Muslims Farzana Hassan-Shahid and Tarek Fatah have been speaking out against Saudi and Iranian extremist influences on Canadian mosques. As is so often the cases with Muslims who dare to speak up against extremism, they have received death threats:

OTTAWA–Toronto police have launched a hate crime investigation into a phone call from a man who vowed to "slaughter" members of a local Muslim group unless they stop speaking publicly about Islam.

A message left Monday on the voice mail of the secretary general for the Muslim Canadian Congress warned that organization members must "cease from your campaign of smearing Islam" or "I will slaughter you."

The message mentioned congress founder Tarek Fatah and current president Farzana Hassan-Shahid by name. Both have openly criticized the politicization of Islam and alleged influence of Iran and Saudi Arabia in Canadian mosques.

It's not the first time they've been threatened. Hassan-Shahid said since publishing her book Islam, Women and the Challenges of Today, she has been heckled and had her home vandalized.

"But swearing by God that `I will do this and slaughter all of you,' that's pretty chilling," Hassan-Shahid said yesterday.

Fatah says both he and Hassan-Shahid will continue to speak out but are frustrated with the lack of public debate and the inability to air their views without the threat of violence.

"It's the youth I'm trying to reach out to with respect to providing a different perspective on Islam and women's rights and progress in general and nobody seems very interested in even entertaining another viewpoint," Hassan-Shahid said yesterday. (cont'd)

Saudi U.K. Textbook: "The monkeys are the Jews; and the pigs, they are the Christian Infidels at Jesus' table"

Saudi Arabia is using money derived from its vast oil resources to "Spread Islam to every corner of the earth".

Unfortunately, Wahhabism, the Saudi type of Islam, is full of bigotry and intolerance.

This rather shocking video shows the type of hatred towards the kufr (infidels, or "non-believers") being taught in the King Fahd Academy in England and, in fact, by Saudi sponsored institutions throughout the world. (Btw, notice the attempt at taqiyya, the Islamic practice of deception, by the spokesperson for the school):



In addition to using their oil wealth to indoctrinate children in schools, the Saudis are also the main contributors to mosques worldwide. (cont'd here)
