Who Are The Village Idiots In The U.S. Who Support ISIS?: The American Islamophobes and the American Jihadis!!

The American Islamophobe is probably the most dangerous!!  He or she is akin to a sleeper cell and a fifth column combined.  People like Sam Harris and Bill Maher!!  Sam, with his two stupid books calling Islam all kinds of nasty names.  Bill, with his antics, and his tongue on talk shows quoting from the Somali Ayaan her negative tribal experiences in Somalia.  What both of these "village idiots" say in the safety of their mock salons in the U.S. endangers the safety of this great country.

They hurt the homeland, advance the cause of religious apartheid, and assist ISIS in its idiotic claim that all of Islam is under attack by the U.S.  None of these idiots, including their propagates on the extreme right of US politics, such as Michelle Bachman and Sara Palin, know anything credible about Islam or the 1.6 billion Muslims.  They swallow as objective truth what the jihadists say about Islam and do to non-Muslims.  Then proceed to make the most atrocious and negative conclusions about that great faith.

It all seems to stem from the likes of Bernard Lewis of Princeton.  In his books, especially "What Went Wrong With Islam?," he imagines that the Muslim of today (a) wants to establish a Caliphate; (b) his (the Muslim's) faith suffered from no reformation movement; and (c) Islam and modernity are antagonistic.  That celebrated guru of Islam is no guru at all!!  The Caliphate is as dead as King Tut; Islamic jurisprudence (Sharia) is continuously evolving through ijtihad and legislation; the Christian Reformation and Counter-Reformation of the 16th and 17th centuries were rebellions against papalist regimes which glorified symbols over substance.

As to Islam being antagonistic to modernity, this is an Islamophobic trait that has no relationship to Islam itself.  It has to do with the demagoguery of terrorists like Boko Haram which regards Western education as un-islamic.  So Lewis, Harris, Maher, Ayaan, Bachman, Palin and Fox News are in the camp that judges Islam from their dark corner of ignorance.  They are playing on the post 9/11 fears, and on their desire to manifest loyalty to America.

They in fact drink from the well which has been contaminated by jihadi propaganda against the West, and by jihadi abhorrence of any rapprochement between the 1.6 billion Muslims and the rest of humanity.

Here is what they do not comprehend about Sharia (Islamic Law) of which I am professor at Fordham University School of Law, New York City:

• Islam is the submission to the will of the Creator. "In God (Allah in Arabic) We Trust,"
• Unless you are a jihadi butcher, "Allahu Akbar" means: We are all equal before God, regardless of whichever faith we hold.  Equality before the law;
• The principle of Tawheed (There is no God but God) is a principle that ties every faith to all faiths.  For the oneness of God is a commitment to non-discrimination -the acceptance of the other (diversity);
• In that principle there is no middle man between man/woman and their Creator.  There is a hotline between earth and the heavens, with no server or intercessor;
• "Infidel" is not what Somali Ayaan stupidly describes as non-Muslim.  "Infidel," in Islamic jurisprudence, means someone with no values;
• The Prophet Muhammad, a messenger of revelation, was born a natural birth.  And died a natural death.  Christ, in the Quran, is "the word of God." born of "immaculate conception," and "will come again,"
• A tyrant should be removed from power, if the means exist for avoiding a total breakdown of law and order (Fitna - Mayhem);
• Maslahah (public good) trumps the religious text.  In fact there is an entire jurisprudence entitled "The Non-Textual jurisprudence," on which I shall refocus my course for the Fall of 2015;
• Jihad is not the equivalent of combat.  The jihadis criminally mix between the two.  Jihad is both inner (self-improvement), and outer -self-defense (The UN Charter, Article 51);
• The law of war in Islam is fully compatible with the Geneva Conventions of 1949.  In all respects.  Including the protection of civilians in times of war.
• Under Sharia, there is no "Holy War" -as the Islamophobes claim.  Holy War is a western expression from the time of the Crusaders of the 10th, 11th, and 12th centuries.  It has never been an Islamic jurisprudential term.
• Torture is fully repugnant to Islam.  For Islam, like every other faith, values the sovereignty of the individual.  US warlords like Dick Cheney, Donald Rumsfeld, Condelesa Rice, Wolfowitz, Feith and John Yoo believe that torture is a state exigency.  That waterboarding is OK.  That Guantanamo is a Maginot Line of defense for America.  That holding Muslims for a dozen years without being either charged or released is OK -the new order (in effect, the new disorder),
• Ijtihad (the application of the mind to the text) is the means by which Islamic law evolves.  Both through unanimity (ijmah); analogy (Qiyas); or public policy for public good (Maslahah),
• Regardless of counter-practices within the variegated spectrum of 1.6 billion Muslims, Islamic Law guarantees gender equality.  Where the text connotes differences, legislation has remedied that disparity.  A woman has the unilateral right to divorce her husband, and her wealth cannot be commingled with that of her spouse by his own wish,
• The judge in Islamic Law is defendant oriented.  And the fatwa (religious pronouncement with no enforceability) is the preserve of licensed Muftis; thus the likes of Bin Laden or the crazed so-called ISIS Caliph, Al-Baghdadi, are rogue muftis.  You might as well take their fatwas to the toilet;
• As to the use of force, there is no self-help in Islamic Law.  The State under that law has the monopoly of the use of force, not the crazy jihadis, and 
• Blasphemy laws in Pakistan are nothing but a heap of crap!! 

This is only a fraction of Islamic Law.  Isn't it ridiculous:

• For several states in this United States to pass laws preventing citing Sharia in state courts as a source of law?
• For the U.S. policy-makers to slap sanctions on Egypt for removing an Islamic tyrannical rule of the Muslims Brotherhood by public recall of Brotherhood? Morsi had threatened the Copts, the Shiis, women, other broad sectors of Egyptian society and secularism!!;
• For the great majority of Americans to regard the Saudis -all Saudis -as potential terrorists, while the U.S. is assiduously seeking cooperation from Riyadh as a member of the anti-ISIS coalition?  Was David Koresh of Waco, Texas, a representative of all Texas, "The Lone Star Republic?"
• For the overwhelming  majority of the members of both houses of the US Congress to regard the Israeli/Palestinian unresolved conflict as having no impact on the growth of jihadism?

None of the above writing has the central intention of defending Islam as a faith.  No faith needs a defense, because faith is non-negotiable!!

It is an illustration of how attacking any faith can only backfire.  Pogroms and the holocaust have not succeeded in vanquishing judaism; Jihadism shall not vanquish Islam; Western colonialism did try to be a vehicle for Christianization.  It largely failed.  ISIS is only a passing disturbing phenomenon.

The clearest fact is what you can prove to be supported by demonstrable experience.  The fact is that both American Islamophobes and American jihadis cohabit the same tent.  Over that tent, the black flag of ISIS flutters.

To the village idiots, I say: You have no future.  Hate and cruelty paralyze the human brain.  That brain no longer does its work -thinking.  It is in a coma!!  And when that coma is over, the village idiots shall discover that: the suicide bombers commit anti-Islamic acts of destruction; that they have taken an express train, not to heaven but to hell; that there are no 70 virgins awaiting them, as it is only a parable, which may in reality exist only in Playboy, porn literature and in the so-called "jihad by fornication."  In summary, neither Islam nor Sharia has anything to do with the criminality that goes nowaday by the name of ISIS, Jihadism, or the Friends of Jerusalem.

With David Kirkpatrick in Cairo, The New York Times Becomes An Oracle for Fear-Mongering of Cultish ISIS!! How Brain-Dead!!

Of course, reporter David Kirkpatrick is no Franklin Roosevelt.  Kirkpatrick, through slanted reporting on Egypt , is a fear-monger.  President Roosevelt is hailed as calming the nation following the Pearl Harbor attack in December 1941.  David's article of November 11, 2014 headlines "Milestone for Islamic State"  as it "widens reach."  Insane!!  Roosevelt calmed the nerves of the U.S. when he uttered: "The Only Fear Is Fear Itself."  Kirkpatrick is providing evidence of his becoming an Egyptophobe.  Roosevelt was providing evidence on the new dawn of "The American Century."

Kirpatrick's analysis, if one glorifies it by calling it "analysis," is a see-through to a bunch of non-factual depictions.  His point of reference was that: "On Monday, Egypt's most dangerous military group, Ansar Beit Al-Maqdis, pledged obedience to the organization that calls itself the "Islamic State."  So what: a group of marauders declaring fealty to another group of maniacal marauders.

No!!  To Egyptophobe Kirkpatrick, that recognition by a bunch of criminals of a bigger bunch of criminals is very "significant."  It is a as if the U.N. Security Council recommended to the General Assembly the admission to UN membership of a new State - "The Islamic State."  But, El-Ayouty, you do not get it: That recognition of subservience to ISIS is a historic change of regional power balance.  How, Mr. Kirkpatrick?!

It is the first significant international affiliate in the bet that the link will provide new money, weapons and recruits to battle the government in Cairo!!  Oh my God, Mr. Kirkpatrick: where were you when El-Sisi administration declared in December 2013 the Muslim Brotherhood and all of the branches of that poisonous tree, including Ansar Beit Al-Maqdis, to be a monolithic structure?!  Under a rock?!

The declaration by Ansar Beit Al-Maqdis, the criminal gangs infiltrating Sinai from Gaza and from sleeper cells in Sinai, of their fealty to ISIS is no new development.  They and other such anarchic outfits seek one another.  With their umbrella, the Muslim Brotherhood, folding, they grope for publicity through Egyptophobe media to project an aura of an imperialist reach.  Your expose of that declaration by the Ansar/ISIS axis, whether out of your agenda or out of your ignorance, acts as a fear weapon.  It is a blunt weapon, as far as the New Egypt, and its Arab and non-Arab allies are concerned.

So please save your breath and your fanciful projections of an Egyptian rout before the cultish hordes.  Did I say "rout"?  Yes I did.  Here are your words, David, in the New York Times -your unholy pulpit dated, November 11, 2014.  They, meaning, Ansar, have "recruited experienced fighters; staged increasingly sophisticated raids from the western desert to the Sinai peninsula; beheaded informants."  

Then you go on with your hopeless efforts at psychological warfare.  You, sir, have no shred of evidence!!  Your Bla Bla Bla is no evidence!!  You describe that declaration of affiliation of Ansar Beit Al-Maqdis with ISIS in words of gloom and doom affecting Egypt's attempts to rise up economically.  Again to your words, Mr. Kirkpatrick: "The pledge alone could undermine the government's efforts to win the trust of western tourists, a vital source of hard currency."  Reaching for a crescendo, you emphatically provide a conclusion which only idiots can subscribe to.  "The endorsement is a major victory for the Islamic State in its rivalry with Al-Qaeda... and could now help recruit fighters and affiliates far beyond Egypt."

As I gradually absorb the contours of your tortured claims, I cannot avoid wondering to myself: "On whose side is David Kirkpatrick and his newspaper on?"  Have the Muslim Brotherhood achieved a brain-washing coup to the point of no return?  I don' think so.  Why?  Because the tradition of "a security State" is so ingrained in Egypt of 5000 years.  This is to the point of safely predicting an eventual defeat of jihadism.

This is the nature of things in old civilizations:  Could be down for a while, but never out.

Just look at the recently-promulgated Egyptian law on deportation.  One day following Kirkpatrick's predictions of an Egyptian collapse in the face of an Ansar declared affiliation with ISIS, which is now reeling from the slow but sure loss of territory, President El-Sisi issued a new law.  It allows him, in the present absence of a House of Representatives, to "deport non-Egyptians convicted of crimes to their home countries."  Weakening States do not do that.

In the meantime, Abu-Bakr Al-Baghadi, the pretending Calipha, is playing house.  His house is a State -the Islamic State, a fictitious cult.  His "State of the Union" recent speech, said it all.  All bluster, all swagger, all threats.  In his 17-minute of November 14, 2014, he belittled not only Obama.  He belittled all foreign leaders, especially those of Arab and Muslim States.

These repairs came from none other David Kirkpatrick from Bagdad.  This is the capital of Iraq where one third of its landmass raised, not the Iraqi flag, but the ISIS black flag.  Al-Baghdadi, the street thug from Al-Anbar, thunders as follows: Calling on "the Mujahedeen among the disciples to erupt volcanoes of jihad everywhere."

If that is not enough, Al-Baghdadi of what is expected to be the shortest lived Caliphate ever, adds other layers of bluster.  He exhorts all Muslims (the 1.6 billions of them) to: "rise up against the agents of the Jews and crusaders, their slaves, tails and dogs."

Would Egyptophobes, like Kirkpatrick or Human Rights Watch, take positive note of the recent Egyptian law releasing representatives of errant organizations like Al-Jazeera from incarceration?  I cannot bet on it.  Because their specialty is poisoning the well of facts in a brain-dead support of the propaganda line of the Muslim Brotherhood.

The well has been sufficiently poisoned by the likes of David Kirkpatrick and his mouth-piece, The New York Times.  The poison here is in the form of myth-information and misinformation.  It has even seeped into the thinking of well-recognized law organizations such as the New York City Bar, the oldest Bar in the U.S.

A recent event was held on November 13 by the Middle East and North Africa Committee.  It featured the Consul-General of Egypt, Ambassador Ahmed Farouk.  He addressed that forum at a standing-room only affair.  That was in the presence of a galaxy of senior diplomats including the Consul-General of Saudi Arabia, Khalid Al-Sharif, the UN Under-Secretary-General for African affairs, Ambassador Maged Abdel-Aziz, and the permanent observer of the League of Arab States, Ambassador Fathallah.  His speech was luminous, especially with regard to a controversy maliciously generated by elements of the Muslim Brotherhood.  Namely: Is the present government of El-Sisi the outcome of a "revolution" or a "coup."

In his speech, Ambassador Farouk did his best to lay this controversy to rest: A Revolution.  Yet during the Question and Answer period, one of the attendees, an attorney, screamed his head off about "total absence of respect for human rights in Egypt."  The questioner was obviously unpersuaded by the plain logic set forth by the speaker.  And being a veteran diplomat, Ambassador Farouk, referred the questioner to the speech.

Being not beholden to the restrains of diplomacy, I jumped to my feet.  Among other points, I asked that opponent: What do you read when you say, with undeserved haughtiness, that the demonstrators at Rabaa and Al-Nahda were peaceful?  Moreover why do you hold the Egyptian process leading to democratization at a a standard which you do not apply to the U.S. -such as in regard to Guantanamo torture, the declaration that the Geneva Conventions were obsolete, and the rendition policies of the Bush Jr. administration?

He looked ashen, and ready to jump ship.  Good!!  But the point is that the likes of Mr. Kirkpatrick are having their way with the facts of the situation on the ground in Egypt.  Ambassador Farouk said it best: "Call it what you want: A Coup!!  A Revolution!!  It is up to you.  I provided the facts.  You provide your own conclusion.

Here is my own conclusion: The Muslim Brotherhood is active and is heard in America.  They have the funds, the penetration, the voice, and the professionalism of lying to their audiences.  In this, they are well practiced.  For over 86 years!!

America, in sum, is taken for a ride by the mother of all jihadism -the Brotherhood!!  The government of the New Egypt should bear in mind that fighting terrorism in its deserts should not be by armed might alone.  It should also be by articulated voices which know how to respond to an American environment which is being manipulated by the scum cells of the Brotherhood in the hope of bringing back to Cairo the nightmare of the Islamic one-year rule!!

In Favoring Morsi Over Sisi, America Looks Like a Sleep-Walking Uncoordinated Hulk!!

The American media are on a mission.  A crazy mission.  Day in, day out, the shrill voices rise in unison.  A prolonged lamentation of the removal of Morsi from power in Egypt.  And a prolonged unreasoned condemnation of the seating of El-Sisi as Egypt's president.

Like a sleep-walking uncoordinated hulk, pundits, politicians, op ed pages, panels and interviews with a pre-selected corps of commentators, the bottom line is one and the same.  "ISIS is a menace!!"  OK.  Correct.  Good.  Bravo.  Simultaneously, the talking machine laments: "El-Sisi has come to power through a military coup."  How ridiculous!!

When America started on this dangerous obfuscation, people like me, with one foot by the shores of the East River in New York, and the other foot by the banks of the Nile, said: "A misunderstanding ."  Now with the passing of time, and the singularity of this hopeless American myth, I say: "Even ignorance has a shelf life.  ENOUGH!!"  

What does America want?  Mind you that Egypt and the U.S. need one another.  For a historic purpose: Defeat terrorism which is masquerading as Islamic!!  Yet from Fareed Zakaria, to Thomas Friedman; from David Kirkpatrick of the New York Times in Cairo to the Carter Center; from the so-called think-tanks in Washington, D.C., to some faculty voices at the American University in Cairo: the bad wind of trying to delegitimate El-Sisi, together with the secular Constitution of 2014, keeps on blowing.

Well, let it blow; let it blow.  It shall not lift the sphinx from its desert moorings one single inch.  For Egypt is not just an Egypt of El-Sisi, who won his post of President in an openly-contested elections in June 2014.  Of course the crows of Egyptophobia, attempting to impugn that process, tried to find loopholes.  So they found a tiny one: the turnout was low.  Really?!  At 45% turnout in a population with 40% illiteracy, in the midst of trying to rescue Sinai from the Hamas/Friends of Jerusalem terrorist barbarians, that percentage is higher than that of the U.S. in these midterm elections.

Nonetheless, the shrill voices of doom, emanating from the U.S., which still demands from its first black President to produce his birth certificate, never stop.  Here are samples of their "Road Runner" imbecility attacks:

Imbecility/Mental Weakness #1

• Morsi is the first freely-elected President in Egyptian history!!

• Well: What did Morsi do with his win?  Broke his social contract with secular Egypt:  Attacks on the Copts; torture of the Shiis; veiling the monuments as pagan relics; changing the curricula to cleanse secularism from children's books;
• Furthermore, humiliating the forces of law and order of the Ministry of Interior; calling for prayer in the midst of a Parliamentary session; downgrading the independence of Al-Azhar as the highest locus for Fatwas, and the loftiest oracle of moderate Islam; and inveighing against the Judiciary to the point that the head of the Judiciary Club, Judge Al-Zind, threatened to sue at the International Criminal Court (though he has no standing at the ICC); 
• Morsi's elections and assumption of the presidency for one year (June 2012 - July 2013) cannot be regarded as a free ride to power.  Legally speaking, that victory and its consequences are akin to somebody purchasing a token to ride the subway.  That purchase of subway fare is no excuse for harassing the passengers.  Felonious assault is a negation of the right to ride mass transit.
• Morsi's most despicable assault was his November 2012 declaration (so-called Constitutional declaration) to the effect that he was above the law.  
• Have the American supporters of the Muslim Brotherhood noted that?  No!!  Had Ayatollah Morsi not been forced to recant his ridiculous claim to totalitarian power, Egypt of 93 millions would have been engulfed in a bloody civil war.

Imbecility/Mental Weakness #2

• The American nay-sayers claim, that the Egyptian Revolution of June 30, 2013 constituted, together with the removal of the Morsi/Brotherhood regime from power, a "brutal military coup."

• We learnt in civics course 101 that sovereignty resides in the people; that that sovereign has the right, indeed the obligation, to remove a tyrant from power, if they can; 35 million Egyptians raised that historic call for the removal of Morsi; the national army of Egypt protected that revolution, as they had duly protected the incoming wave of the Muslim Brotherhood as of January 28, 2011, 3 days after the start of the January 25 revolt of the masses;
• After the ouster of Morsi by means of recall by the masses, in the absence of a presidential removal clause in the defunct Islamic Constitution of 2012, the interim President of Egypt, the venerable Judge Adel Mansour (of the Egyptian Supreme Constitutional Court) paved, as a Care-Taker, the road for new presidential elections.  That exercise of sovereignity brought General El-Sisi from the military barracks of the Defense Ministry to the Ittihadyiah Presidential Palace.

Imbecility/Mental Weakness #3

• The pundits and others of the U.S. non-coordinated hulk viciously claim that the fact that President El-Sisi was a military man, thus Egypt is now ruled by a military regime!!

• Really?!  Does that mean that the great administration of say, President Eisenhower (formerly General Eisenhower) who scored electoral victory in 1952, with Nixon as his running mate, was a military regime? 
• Have the American supporters of the Muslim Brotherhood absent-mindedly forgotten that it took the Egyptian Government of Adly Mansour (interim President) and Dr. Mehleb (Prime Minister) 3 full days (from June 30 to July 3, 2013) to dialogue with the Islamist opposition to no avail?  Even the Muslim Brotherhood, a monolithic organization which is not given to admission of self-inflicted wounds is now saying "We were wrong!!"  
• The ultimatum by the military of 72-hours for compliance by Morsi, who was not even the first choice for presidential candidacy by his own Brothers (El-Shater was) was a warning signal.  It was also a rescue call.  It saved Egypt from impending disaster in which Qatar and foreign funds and agents were active as "agents provocateurs."  A popular voice for the removal of a dictator, needs, for its enforcement, the backing of a national army.  That national army timely acted.  And the Egyptian public which sings even through its critical moments chanted: "May God Bless the Hands of Our Army!!"  (Teslam El-Ayadi. Ayadi Qaish Bilady).  The Copts sang even lounder!!

 Imbecility/Mental Weakness #4

• The security forces committed a war crime by killing "more than a thousand peaceful demonstrators at Rabaa and El-Nahdha squares in Cairo!!"

• Well; isn't that fanciful?!  For six weeks from July 3 to August 14, the government called on the hordes to end their emirates which they declared in the heart of Cairo of 10 million inhabitants.  The governments pleaded to "please, go home and avoid bloodshed!!"  
• Response: more defiance; more smuggling of arms; killing by throwing someone from the roof of a building at Rabaa; calls by the armed demonstrators for outside intervention; non-sensical support from the new Ottoman Caliph, Mr. Ordogan from his multi-million dollars palace in Ankara; felonious attacks against the besieging security forces which kept exits open for those wanting to end that open rebellion.
• Finally, the Rabaa and Al-Mahdha sieges had to be broken by force.  Yes, people died: demonstrators and security forces.  A tragedy; self-inflicted wounds by the murderous gangs of the Brotherhood.

 The sad list of imbecilities goes on and on and on:

• Suppression of free expression!  Response: Shouting "fire" in a crowded theater, causing a stampede and death is not a "freedom of expression."  In national emergencies, communal rights temporarily trump individual rights. 
• Abortion of democracy!!  Response: What is your definition of "democracy?"  In the global dictionary, there is no consensual definition of three terms: democracy, terrorism, and aggression.  If Egypt needs time to put its house in order, who are these alien voices to judge an incomplete process?!
• Terrorism in Sinai is the result of suppressing the Islamists!  How laughable is the claim that action on security is the cause of terrorism!!  Show me on the world map a major region which is free today from some acts of terrorism!!  This includes the U.S., Canada, Great Britain, France, Russia, China, Australia, India.  Muslims ignorant of their own faith commit these horrendous acts.  Motivations: imagined injustice and a cultish belief in rewarding their crimes by palaces in paradise.
• The Egyptian Law on Public Demonstrators is brutal!!  Well!!  I have examined the U.S. laws on the same issue, and found that by comparison, the Egyptian law is less stringent.

Now:  Let us hear the voice of El-Sisi at the U.N. General Assembly on September 24, 2014 put the ravings of the Uncoordinated Hulk to rest.  In response to the global demand to stand united in the face of terror through religion, this President who came to power only in June 2014 declared:

Terrorism is a plague that does not differentiate between developing and developed societies as it spreads.  Terrorists come from different societies.  They are not bound together by any true religious faith.  That is why it is imperative that we all intensify our cooperation and coordination efforts, pursuant to the principles of the Charter of the United Nations and in fulfilment of its objectives, to end the support provided to those terrorist organizations that enables them to continue perpetrating crimes.

America's siding with the Brotherhood shall not bring Islamic rule back.  U.S. pundits, media and NGOs, through their interference in the internal affairs of Egypt, are summarily rejected.  America's "exceptionalism" should stay at home; it is not for export, especially to the New Egypt.  The New Egypt shall move, at its own pace towards democratization and freedom from terror and want without uninvited helping hands.
