Islam, a different civilization whose people are convinced of the superiority of their culture and are obsessed with the inferiority of their power
A-Arabiyya TV Director-General:
'Why Do Islamist Extremists Who Incite Against the West Insist on Living There?'
March 8, 2007
In an article in the London daily Al-Sharq Al-Awsat, Al-Arabiyya TV Director-General Abd Al-Rahman Al-Rashed criticized the hypocrisy of Islamist extremists who live and operate in the West. He said that while these extremists spread hatred for the West and incite against Western culture, at the same time they fight for the right to stay there.
The following are excerpts:
"All of Them Want To (Live) In The West"

"All of Them Want To (Live) In The West"
"The common denominator shared by Abu Qatada, currently under arrest in Britain, Osama Nasser, who was kidnapped in Rome, and Omar Bakri, who fled from London, is that all of them want to [live] in the West, rather than in their native Islamic countries. Abu Qatada prefers to remain under arrest in Britain, and not to be deported to Jordan.
The Italian imam Abu Omar Osama Al-Masri, who was kidnapped by the CIA [and taken] to Egypt, is likewise demanding to return to Milan, the fashion capital, and is even suing for financial compensation...

Our Random Thoughts for the Week...
TROP: It’s too bad that Islamic extremists don’t bother CAIR as much as do Muslims trying to make Islam into a peaceful religion.
In a week in which hundreds of people were slaughtered explicitly in the name of Allah, CAIR has had harsh words only for moderates such as Wafa Sultan, Hirsi Ali, and the Secular Islam Summit – a group of diverse Muslims united in their opposition to extremism and violence in the name of their religion.
In fact, CAIR is so proud of opposing peaceful moderates that it has prominently posted a video of Ahmed Bedier going after a Summit member on the Glenn Beck show. You will see no such videos of Bedier (or any of CAIR’s other leaders) attacking an Islamic radical the way that he does the unfortunate Tawfik Hamid.
Bedier starts off complaining that secularists are the “wrong messengers,” and that the much-needed reform of Islam should be driven by people like himself who “love and respect” the faith.
By the end of the 9-minute segment, Bedier is showing his “love and respect” for Islam by taking advantage of his opponent’s struggling language skills and hurling cheap insults at him like “Jew” and “opportunist.”
It is obvious that Muslims like Ahmed Bedier enable Islamic terrorists by undermining the only legitimate opposition to them from within the faith. If reform of Islam can only be done by the likes of him, then it will surely never happen. Bedier doesn't even bother to speak out when Copts are murdered in his home country of Egypt.
For his part, Glenn Beck is clearly pandering to CAIR, the organization that recently targeted him for boycott. In spite of what had just taken place in front of him, he signs off the segment by informing viewers that CAIR is just as committed to peaceful solutions as the reformers that it opposes. The organization’s tactics of intimidation have paid off handsomely.
If Beck still has a backbone, then he might consider asking CAIR these questions (from our CAIR Baby Site) the next time he has one of their spokespersons on his show.
TROP: In Thailand over the weekend, Islamic terrorists shot two teenage girls to death as they were on their way to take an exam at their high school. Two days later, they gunned down a 70-year-old rubber worker. All of the victims were Buddhist. This is not the first time that the Religion of Peace has deliberately victimized children and the elderly, since they make easy targets for Islam’s “Holy Warriors.”
Neither is it the first time that Muslims around the world have ignored the brutality in the name of their religion and searched for more petty offense (such as CAIR’s current obsession over whether someone in Minnesota did or didn’t say something bad about a Muslim congressman behind his back).
Nope. This is just Islam as usual.
