Mohammed Mahdi Akef Quotes

The veiled threat of violence and disruption was a tactic that did not work.

Half a century later some in the Muslim world were justifying terrorism, violence and intimidation on the grounds of desperation of the unique circumstances Islam as in and the attack Islam was under. However, many scholars use this quotation to illustrate that extra legal means and violence has been a Muslim tactic. It actually goes back to the beginning of Islam. It was ironic that Ali Kahn, after supporting extra-legal and violent means of achieving political objectives was himself the victim when he was assassinated in 1951.

Muslim League leaders wanted to stir up India's Muslims in order to prevent Indian Independence from Britain unless India were partitioned and the Muslims could have their own nation. At that point the British and the Congress Party of India—the majority political party were both starting to plan for independence. Most of the Muslim nationalists did not want to have any Muslims living in a Majority Hindu nation. To stop it, they first used fear claiming that when the British left, the Hindus would massacre all the Muslims. They galvanized the Muslims to first attack the Hindus to dissuade then from their attacks which at that point were imaginary except in the conspiracy theory of the Muslim League. The moral logic of this statement was similar, albeit not to the same bloody degree, as the famous quotation of Presidential Candidate Barry Goldwater on extremism." H. S. Suhrawardy

Two months earlier, Jinnah and the Muslim League had, behind the scenes, orchestrated and abetted vicious, murderous, terrorist attacks on Sikhs by Muslim tribesman brought into the Punjab for the purpose." Master Tara Singh

The Nazis and most of the Arabs were allies in WWII. The Jews of Palestine—although they were opposed to many of the British policies regarding Palestine—were active in the Allied cause contributing units to the British Army. Although the Germans were brutal to civilians, murdering millions, they refrained from public pronouncements or exhortations to kill civilians in most cases. The Arabs did not. The Mufti was actually given the rank of General in the Nazi SS and had his own SS unit. In this despicable exhortation he actually uses a concept and wording from the Koran. See {584355}. This quotation is important in that it refutes a common claim by some Palestinians that it was only the Germans who were responsible for the Holocaust and the post war Jewish Refugee problem and that the Palestinians had to bear the price rather than place Israel in Europe. This quotation and the other by the Grand Mufti prove that Palestinians were not only complicit in persecution of Jews but took a leadership and advocacy role.

The demonstration was on August 8, 1643. There are several important aspects to this quotation. First, it shows that a peace movement is not only a creature of modern times. Second, that women were actively involved in political protests and demonstrations in 17th century England. Last, that the police of the time behaved as brutally as many police forces do in later centuries in putting down and surpressing demonstrations.

He was also the primary planner of the assassination. He was executed for his crime which not only killed Sedat but also a diplomat and a Christian Cleric. Iran named a street in Tehran for Islambouli in 1981 in honor of his “martyrdom.”

Shoebat was a former PLO member and recalls this from his own childhood.

Some apologists for the Muslim Brotherhood claim that the organization is social and political and not violent or advocates of terrorism. However, quotations like this one calls clearly for the sacrifice of lives. Hamas, a recognized terrorist organization is the Palestinian Branch and Offshoot of the Muslim Brotherhood which has never repudiated any of their terrorist murders and actively raises money for Hamas. See the original founding principle of the Muslim Brotherhood—{621776}

This is a very important quotation as it shows the logic of many Islamic terrorists. To them Jihad is not terror regardless of what means are used. If the cause is just, like driving unbelievers from what they call Islamic land, then the violence is Jihad and is not only moral but is obligatory for a good Muslim. However if the cause is not moral—like invading someone else’s land, then the same actions are terrorism. The rest of the world defines terrorism by the means of the struggle—not the righteousness of the cause. Suicide Bombing which kills civilians shopping or at a wedding reception is terrorism whether the political or other end is good or bad. At the same time, members of the Muslim brotherhood often when they are speaking to Westerners or the media say that they are opposed to terrorism. The terrorism they are opposed to does not include to them does not include the terrorism of 9-11, the kidnapping and beheading of journalists, or bombing innocent civilians. That is why they can fund and support Hamas—the Palestinian component of the Muslim Brotherhood and still say they oppose terrorism. The occupation is the major offence they must rectify. The reality is that every group of people currently in the Middle East, is descended from peoples who occupied land by conquest and then were conquered by others. In Christ’s time, for example, Jerusalem and the area population was virtually all Jewish but the Romans had conquered and controlled the land. Some of the Jews became Christians, and they both shared the land because Christians then considered themselves to be a sect of Judaism. Then there were many conquests and re-conquests. The city has changed hands by force 44 different times. The Israelis were the last to capture it, The Jewish people were also amongst the earlier conquests, and the Palestinians argue that they inhabited the land even before Islam. Compared to Jerusalem, the problem of who has the right to the old Cherokee land in Georgia today is simple.

He was elected to Parliament while in jail and never took his seat as he died of a hunger strike in jail.

He was the first American citizen who was assassinated by the Central Intelligence Agency by means of a drone attack. He was a major recruiter for Al Qaeda, and he preached to 3 of the 9-11 terrorists.

Rouhani insists that “Death to America” does not have its literal meaning in the minds of Iranians. He asserts that it means that the United States should be stopped from interfering with the internal affairs of Iran and other countries. Before the Iranian Revolution the track record of the U. S. was extensive in overtly and covertly meddling in Iran, including the covert toppling of a democratically elected President. He did not offer any explanation as to why the Iranians don’t simply have a chant of slogan that says “Stop American Meddling”.
