HaRav Nachman Kahana on Parashat Chukat 5772

BS”D

Parashat Chukat 5772

The midrash states (Midrash Raba, Bamidbar 19:1):

זאת חקת זה שאמר (איוב יד) מי יתן טהור מטמא לא אחד, כגון אברהם מתרח, חזקיה מאחז, יאשיה מאמון, מרדכי משמעי, ישראל מעובדי כוכבים, העולם הבא מעולם הזה מי עשה כן מי צוה כן מי גזר כן לא יחידו של עולם, תמן תנינן בהרת כגריס באדם טמא פרחה בכולו טהור מי עשה כן מי צוה כן מי גזר כן לא יחידו של עולם

Job 14,4: ‘Who can bring what is pure from the impure? No human being can’ (only HaShem).

Avraham (the righteous who was born from) Terech, King Chizkiyahu born from Achaz, King Yoshiyahu born from Amon, Morchechai born from Shimi, the Jewish nation from out of the pagan nations, the World-to-Come from out of this world. Who has performed this? Who has commanded this to be? Who has decreed this to be? Only the Holy One Blessed Be He

The Midrash continues to tell of the contrary-to-logic, contradictory wonders of HaShem regarding the Para Aduma (Red Hefer). The kohanim who prepared the ashes and water of the Para Aduma became tamei, while the ashes and water when sprinkled on one who is tamei-met (through contact with a corpse) becomes tahor (the halachic terms tamei and tahor are not translatable).

The antithesis of Jewish redemption was our ancestors’ involvement with Yishmael and Aisav as individuals in their time, and our involvement with Aisav’s and Yishmael’s biological, religious and ideological offspring and followers during our protracted, tragic history.

Aisav represents those nations where Christianity is the dominant religion and Yishmael the nations where Islam is dominant.

These two illegitimate break-aways from the true wishes of HaShem (the seven Noachide commandments meant for the gentile peoples) will be the unwitting conduits to bring about the redemption of the Jewish nation and our return to the Biblical borders of Eretz Yisrael contrary to all reason and logic.

How will it evolve?

The world’s situation as it stands today is that Islamic-Shi’ite Iran will soon achieve nuclear capability. The West and some Islamic states are on a collision course with Iran, whenever they meet to discuss ways of defusing the ticking Iranian time-bomb. The parties are utterly frustrated in their attempts to find mutual grounds for understanding, except in one area – their mutual enmity and hostility towards the Jews in general, and specifically the Jewish State in Eretz Yisrael.

At some point, the two sides will join together in order to achieve their mutual goal of ridding the world of the maverick, renegade State of Israel and its archaic, heretical beliefs.

As the European states continue to sink into the endless abyss of financial bankruptcy, oil-rich Arab countries will extend an offer they will not be able to resist – financial bailout in return for political and military cooperation against the Jewish State.

This will be a “heaven-sent” offer for the Christian faith which has never recovered from the religious knockout they are suffering minute by minute by the Jews’ return to the Holy Land. And Islam will continue to stomp, buck, plunge, pounce and wrench as a caged wild animal, as long as the children of Yitzchak control Al Aksa and the building with the gold dome.

At some point in the near future, the peoples of Aisav and Yishmael will field an army to embark on an updated version of the Crusades. But this time, they will be certain that the communion between Rome and Mecca will arouse their gods to bless their “pure” intentions.

Here, in Eretz Yisrael, bewilderment will share the stage with dread. Many will try to leave, but there will be nowhere to go. The emergency “hotline” request to Washington will go unheeded because of the decision of the UN General Assembly where the US has no veto power. The US President will inform the Prime Minister that he has no choice but to remain neutral in this situation.

The sky will become clouded by the ascending dust caused by the multitudes of gentiles making their way to Eretz Yisrael, with each person filled with ardor, ecstasy and zealousness to do the will of his god.

The above scenario and what will pursue is detailed in the Book of Yechezkel (32:17) and elaborated on in the Malbim’s commentary, which I frequently quote in these weekly messages.

The prophet describes the treaty between the uncircumcised Aisav’ian peoples to the north and west of Eretz Yisrael – today’s Europe – and the circumcised House of Turgema – today’s Moslems.

The initial attack against the Jewish State will be launched by Moslem Egypt. They will be destroyed (byTzahal), and their allies will attack us to avenge the obliteration of the largest Moslem army in the Middle East. At the crucial moment of their attack, the pent-up religious and cultural animosity between Christianity and Islam and between Sunni and Shiite Moslems will erupt, and each side will destroy the other. The Jewish nation will emerge unscathed as the pre-eminent power in the world.

That is the scenario as described by the prophet Yechezkel.

This week, the Egyptian people democratically elected the head of the Moslem Brotherhood as its nation’s president. The Moslem Brotherhood is one of the sources of radical Sunni Islam, not far behind Saudi Arabia. Syria will soon fall into the hands of radical Sunni Islam, when the secular leadership of Dr. Assad (an ophthalmologist) will either escape or be hanged in the main square in Damascus.

The players are all present. Moslem Sunnis who hate Moslem Shiites who both hate Christians who hate them in return.

This will be the crescendo at this stage of Hashem’s plan for the world, where the contrary-to-logic, contradictory wonders of HaShem will appear in all its glory.

The Para Aduma that brings tuma to those who prepare it but brings tahara to one who is tamei, will be the model for the tuma of our enemies which will bring tahara and redemption to the Jewish nation.

This is what the Gemara, at the end of the first chapter of Tractate Berachot, is referring to when it predicts that the miracles of the future will outshine the unbelievable miracles of the Egyptian exodus.

Where will the Jews in galut be at this time? It remains better unsaid.

Shabbat Shalom

South Africans will demonstrate in support of Israel this Thursday, June 28.

Global March for Israel Organized by Blacks in South Africa

 South Africans will demonstrate in support of Israel this Thursday, June 28. The march has been initiated by non-Jewish Black groups which is very significant, especially in South Africa. Victims of apartheid are coming out in strong support of Israel – and against the anti-Israel boycott movement (BDS).

The march is a response to a recent decision by South Africa’s Department of Trade and Industry that products produced by Israeli companies in Judea and Samaria (Yehuda and Shomron) cannot be labeled as products of Israel.

Relabeling goods from Israel as coming form the “Occupied Palestinian Territories” is discriminatory. It is part of the International Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions campaign to isolate and delegitimize Israel.

Several Pro-Israel groups are joining together to oppose this attempt to delegitimize Israel. Join us and show your support for Israel and condemnation of this move by the government of South Africa.

DATE: Thursday 28 June

TIME: 8:45 – 15:00

VENUE: From the Union Buildings to the Department of Trade and Industry in Pretoria, 1.5 km

COST: FREE

Former Israeli diplomat calls for boycott of settlement goods

http://www.israelhayom.com/site/newsletter_article.php?id=4839

The perils of the peace industry

For quite some time, former Foreign Ministry director general Alon Liel has called for peace with Syria with his one-man organization. This organization is part of the peace industry that has sprung up alongside the familiar industry of lies. A quick look at Syria now indicates how firm Liel’s grasp on reality is.

Now his bizarre political stance is also emerging: The same man who headed the Foreign Ministry and served as an Israeli ambassador to South Africa is now encouraging a boycott on products made in “occupied Palestinian territory” because “settlements are a violation of international law.” He even hinted that Israel was an apartheid state — where of all places? In a South African newspaper. That’s great! The peace industry wants to undermine Israel’s industry.

Liel has an original take on why the peace process is dying — it is not because of the terror and the suicide attacks, but rather because Israel’s desire for peace was “myopic.” He wrote that “this hope belittled the sense of outrage Arabs felt about what they considered a foreign intrusion.” Oh, now we understand why rockets are being fired from Gaza into southern Israel. Whew, I feel better. Silly me, I thought that the myopia stemmed from Israel’s irresponsible policy of bringing Palestinian terror gangs into the land west of the Jordan River, and hoping that they would ensure our safety. This stupid mistake was wrapped in media euphoria and international support until it blew up in our faces. The Palestinians proved time and time again that they are not interested in peace, because it would force them to recognize the Jews’ right to a part of the historical Land of Israel, and that is not acceptable to the Arabs.

Now Liel is calling on South Africans to boycott Israeli goods made in “occupied Palestinian territory,” hoping that the world forces Israel to do what the Left has failed to achieve democratically. Excuse me, but who did we occupy the territory from? As far as I can recall, no ancient Palestinian coins have been discovered in the ground anywhere around here. There is a dispute over the land, and Israel is claiming its right to it. In stark contrast with Liel’s claims, international law does not preclude Jewish settlement in Judea and Samaria. The best legal minds, in Israel and around the world, have shown this.

Apartheid? How long will people continue to spread this lie? The only apartheid around here is the fact that Jews aren’t allowed to enter certain places or use certain roads. Currently, 97 percent of the Palestinians are in full control of their lives, in education, economy, foreign relations, culture and more. The only thing that remains under Israeli control is the military, but nobody wants a Hamas state on the Samarian hills, a stone’s throw from Ben-Gurion International Airport. The last 20 years have taught us that when it comes to these things you can’t trust the Palestinians, nor can you trust Liel and his friends.

“Mahmoud Mohammad Issa Mohammad” – Why is this barbaric islamic terrorist in CANADA ?

http://www.danielpipes.org/blog/2004/09/canadas-immigration-chaos-mahmoud-mohammad

Today’s article by Stewart Bell in the National Post, “Terrorist says health will suffer if deported,” brings back a host of bad memories.

The terrorist is question is Mahmoud Mohammad Issa Mohammad, 61. He joined the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine in about 1968. In December of that year, he and another terrorist attacked an El Al Boeing 707 in Athens as it was readying for takeoff. The two assaulted the aircraft with 83 rounds of ammunition and 6 grenades, killing one passenger. Convicted and sentenced by a Greek court in March 1970 to 17 years in prison, Mohammad was released later that year, when six Palestinian terrorists hijacked a Greek airliner and threatened to blow it up unless he was freed. Mohammad slipped off to Cyprus, Spain, and finally – with his wife, Fadia, and three children – he reached Canada as a landed immigrant on Feb. 25, 1987.

JASON KENNY – *Petition* – “Faster Removal of Foreign Criminals”

Friends,

This month we introduced the Faster Removal of Foreign Criminals Act (Bill C-43). Convicted foreign criminals and fraudsters should not be able to rely on endless appeals as a loophole in order to delay their deportation from Canada. That only endangers ordinary Canadian families.

Below is a link to a media report about the proposed legislation:

http://news.nationalpost.com/2012/06/20/kenney-launches-crackdown-on-foreign-criminals-who-abuse-appeals-process-to-delay-deportation/

Critics for both the Liberal and NDP parties have strongly criticized this law, choosing instead to defend the flawed appeal process that keeps foreign criminals on our streets.

If you disagree with them and want us to go ahead with this new law, please sign the petition at:

http://www.jasonkenney.ca/criminals/

It is important that you let me know if you think we are on the right track.

Best regards,

Jason

PS: As always, please forward this e-mail to your friends. Ask them to sign the petition if they support this legislation.

 

 

TAZPIT AND THE FIGHT AGAINST THE ARAB MEDIA FRAUD – “Blog Wrath” Blog

June 25th, 2012 |

With sincere thanks to “Blog Wrath” for his continued support and passion in defence of our values, morals and ethics.

Earlier today JDL-Canada organized a BBQ in Toronto. The great food and the conversations of members and friends contributed to the great time that everybody had. However, the main event of the evening was the presentation of a guest from Israel – Amotz Eyal, Director and Founder of the Tazpit News Agency. It’s hard to believe it, but Tazpit is the ONLY news agency that Israel has.

The introduction by Meir Weinstein, JDL’s Director concentrated on the current problems facing Israel, so it wasn’t very cheerful. The Muslim Brotherhood is taking over Egypt, which means that they will militarize Sinai. Israel should’ve never given it away. When Israel had it under its control, Sinai served a buffer, but the government exchanged it for a piece of paper, which is now totally worthless. The Muslim Brotherhood already stated that is wants to make Jerusalem capital of Egypt. Egypt is even going to strengthen its alliance with Iran. In these difficult times the Jews are not united – some of them even call for boycott and sanctions against the settlements, they even accuse of anti-Semitism friends of Israel like Glen Back (for his criticism of Soros). That’s why it is so important to have people like Amotz Eyal, who expose the false propaganda.

After that Amotz Eyal took over the stage. He is young (only 25 years old) but he achieved quite a few things in his life. He grew up close to Arabs and experienced firsthand their violence. His brother was injured when the family was forced to evacuate from a settlement. Later he served in IDF, taking part in most of their recent military operations. He founded the Tazpit News Agency which, as I already mentioned, is the only Israeli news agency (there was another one, but it was shut down about 20 years ago). In contrast, the Arabs in Israel have 5 news agencies.

The agency’s goal is to show the events as they really happen, defending the Zionist point of view. It operates by using exclusively volunteers (there over 100 of them). They show the good things about Israel and also cover what is done against the country.

In his opinion the PR (public relations) of Israel is poorly managed by the government. He has stated that earlier in his blog:

“Israel’s PR – many people are critical of the Israeli PR, and I think they should be. Israeli PR is defensive at all time, and at the most crucial moments it doesn’t function as it’s supposed to. Israel loves to complain, but she’s forgetting that the best defense is to attack. Not to attack back physically, but to attack the media, immediately after the flotilla departed.”

He shows us a few examples of Palestinian truth distortion. We see a crowd of settlers hurling stones at Arabs. It’s a video used by the Muslim propaganda against Israel. But this is just a small part of the real video – he shows more of it and we see that a large crowd (the target of the attack) is holding and beating a Jew. His rock-throwing friends confused the Arabs so he was able to escape.

Another one is the Al-Durra case, where a father and son were supposedly killed by IDF while trying to hide near a wall.

(This obvious hoax, in which the father was “hit” by 12 bullets, but there was no blood on the scene, was debunked by Philippe Karsenty who fought for years the French television, which first released the video. He had a presentation about that at JDL last year.)

What Amotz found disturbing here was that after the video was released, the IDFcommanders simply apologized for the “murder” as being a mistake. They never investigated what really happened.

However, the Arabs continued to use that hoax – in another picture they claim to show the unit that “killed” Al-Durra. However, they were so ignorant that they didn’t realize that the soldiers in the picture had weapons that shoot rubber bullets.

Next was one of the pictures used most by the Palestinian propaganda – the one with the little girl lying on the ground with a soldier pointing his machine gun at her with his boot on her chest.

The picture was enough to create rage among the Arab fanatical idiots, which they expressed in their atrocious English:

“Azara Moulana: Allahu musta’an. May that shaytaan rot in hell!

Waleed Jaber: What if I did that..? Bankemoon will called the human right at me… I’m gonna Do the same thing to the Zionist.”

Again, Amotz had to deal repeatedly with the army to bring their attention to the hoax. Other than looking staged, the picture contains other clumsy attempt of falsification.

The soldier is armed with AK-47, which has never been used by the IDF. As you can see in the picture above, the IDF uniform has a different colour and the shirt is always tucked in the pants, which doesn’t match the appearance of the “soldier” in the picture.

On another occasion, Tazpit photographers caught Arabs cutting their trees and later blaming that on Israel (the destruction of the olive trees by the Israelis is one of the favourite Palestinian sob stories).

Another picture showed settlers with sticks attacking Arabs. For that action the Jews were arrested by the police and it took two weeks to vindicate them.

As you may have already noticed, the same pattern runs through all of the cases. When Amotz shows us the whole video, we see two Jewish shepherds (that’s why they carry sticks) who are attacked by a group of Arab baghead harpies armed with rocks. They try to protect themselves and eventually other Jews show up, but by that time the Palestinians had already taken their “incriminating” pictures.

And that is getting worse by the day – now IDF must avoid any conflicts in an area where there are Arab photographers, because they’ll always distort the truth. It’s a very simple scheme, which is illustrated by the picture below.

Most often on Friday, groups of women and children gather around Israeli soldiers and try to provoke them. Many people with powerful cameras (seen in the top part) follow every move of the army trying to get something that could be interpreted as a hostile reaction. That’s why the commanders have chosen the unfortunate path of leastresistance – often in such cases the whole unit hides in a bunker rather than risking being blackmailed. That makes Arabs more aggressive and results in assault like the one shown below, where a soldier from IDF was injured by a rock:

It is hard to believe that the Israeli Government has neglected its public relations activities to such extent that it has left the Arabs with their five news agencies to misinform the world by manipulating pictures and films. Not only does that situation help the leftists and the Muslim fanatics to demonize Israel, but it also creates frustration among the friends and supporters of Israel. However, it looks like Tazpit is filling that gap slowly, but consistently.

Let’s hope that Tazpit gets enough support from the Israeli Government and the people to make a real difference.

Rocket Attacks Resume on Southern Israel

Palestinian Authority terrorists resumed firing rocket attacks on southern Israel Sunday afternoon.

By Chana Ya’ar

First Publish: 6/24/2012, 4:43 PM

Qassam Strike

Flash 90

Palestinian Authority terrorists resumed firing rocket attacks on southern Israel Sunday afternoon.

Three short-range Qassam rockets were launched at the Eshkol Regional Council district area by Gaza terrorists at about 4:30 p.m.

One of the missiles exploded in a residential area, according to the IDF Spokesperson’s Unit, but residents of the area had managed to reach their bomb shelters in time.

No one was physically injured, authorities said, although residents with post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) had symptoms triggered by the attack.

There were no reports on property damage.

The window of safety in which to reach shelter in that area is approximately 15 seconds from the time the Color Red incoming rocket alert system is activated, until the point of impact.

The Evils of the Muslim Brotherhood

by Raymond Ibrahim - June 25, 2012

Investigative Project on Terrorism
http://www.meforum.org/3272/muslim-brotherhood-evils

Egypt’s longtime banned Muslim Brotherhood—the parent organization of nearly every subsequent Islamist movement, including al-Qaeda—has just won the nation’s presidency, in the name of its candidate, Muhammad Morsi. That apathy reigns in the international community, when once such news would have been deemed devastating, is due to the successful efforts of Muslim apologists and subversive agents in the West who portray the Brotherhood as “moderate Islamists”—irrespective that such a formulation is oxymoronic, since to be “Islamist,” to be a supporter of draconian Sharia, is by definition to be immoderate.

Obama administration officials naturally took it a step further, portraying the Brotherhood as “largely secular” and “pluralistic.”

Back in the real world, evidence that the Brotherhood is just another hostile Islamist group bent on achieving world domination through any means possible is overwhelming. Here are just three examples that recently surfaced, all missed by the Western media, and all exposing the Brotherhood as hostile to “infidels” (non-Muslims) in general, hostile to the Christians in their midst (the Copts) in particular, and on record calling on Muslims to lie and cheat during elections to empower Sharia:

Anti-Infidel: At a major conference supporting Muhammad Morsi—standing on a platform with a big picture of Morsi smiling behind him and with any number of leading Brotherhood figures, including Khairat el-Shater, sitting alongside—a sheikh went on a harangue, quoting Koran 9:12, a jihadi favorite, to portray all those Egyptians who do not vote for Morsi—the other half of Egypt, the secularists and Copts who voted for Shafiq—as “resisters of the Sharia of Allah,” and “infidel leaders” whom true Muslims must “fight” and subjugate.

The video of this sheikh was shown on the talk show of Egyptian commentator Hala Sarhan, who proceeded to exclaim “This is unbelievable! How is this talk related to the campaign of Morsi?!” A guest on her show correctly elaborated: “Note his [the sheikh's] use of the word ‘fight’—’fight the infidel leaders’ [Koran 9:12]; this is open incitement to commit violence against anyone who disagrees with them…. How can such a radical sheikh speak such words, even as [Brotherhood leaders like] Khairat el-Shater just sit there?” Nor did the Brotherhood denounce or distance itself from this sheikh’s calls to jihad and takfir.

Anti-Christian: It is precisely because of these sporadic outbursts of anti-infidel rhetoric that it is not farfetched to believe that Morsi himself, as some maintain, earlier boasted that he would “achieve the Islamic conquest (fath) of Egypt for the second time, and make all Christians convert to Islam, or else pay the jizya.”

Speaking of the minority Christian Copts of Egypt, in an article titled “The Muslim Brotherhood Asks Why Christians Fear Them?!” secularist writer Khaled Montasser, examining the Brotherhood’s own official documents and fatwas, shows exactly why. According to Montasser, in issue #56 of the Brotherhood journal The Call (al-da’wa), published in December 1980, prominent Brotherhood figure Sheikh Muhammad Abdullah al-Khatib decreed several anti-Christian measures, including the destruction of churches and the prevention of burying unclean Christian “infidels” anywhere near Muslim graves. Once again, this view was never retracted by the Brotherhood. As Montasser concludes, “After such fatwas, Dr. Morsi and his Brotherhood colleagues can ask and wonder—”Why are the Copts afraid?!”

Lying, Stealing, and Cheating to Victory: In a recent article titled “The Islamist Group’s Hidden Intentions,” appearing in Watani, author Youssef Sidhom exposes a document “which carries the logos of both the Muslim Brotherhood and its political arm, the Freedom and Justice Party.” Written by Khairat el-Shater, the Deputy to the Supreme Guide, and addressed “to all the Brotherhood branches in the governorates,” the memo calls on Muslims to cheat, block votes, and “resort to any method that can change the vote” to ensure that Morsi wins, which, of course, he just did—amidst many accusations of electoral fraud. El-Shater concluded his memo by saying, “You must understand, brothers, that our interest lies wherever there is the Sharia of Allah, and this can only be by preserving the [MB] group and preserving Islam.”

In short, the Muslim Brotherhood has not changed; only Western opinion of it has. As it was since its founding in 1928, the group is committed to empowering and spreading Sharia law—a law that preaches hate for non-Muslim “infidels,” especially Islam’s historic nemesis, Christianity, and allows anything, from lying to cheating, to make Islam supreme. Now that the Brotherhood has finally achieved power, the world can prepare to see such aspects on a grand scale.

Life Under Sharia by Marc J. Fink  •  Jun 21, 2012 at 4:21 pm http://www.islamist-watch.org/blog/2012/06/life-under-sharia  Print  Send  RSS Share:      Be the first of your friends to like this. Brutality and Injustice Islamist Watch, a project of the Middle East Forum, defends the freedoms and liberties of Western society against “stealth jihad,” a campaign by Islamists to slowly and methodically implement a Sharia-compliant theocracy in the West. Sharia is Islamic law, based on the Koran and the teachings and personal actions of Mohammad (known as The Sunnah, noted and reported in Hadiths). Below, very personal examples of life under Sharia in Islamist societies. The intolerance, the brutality, the inhumanity. The extreme lack of religious pluralism, women’s rights, free speech and equality under the law. 1. Sudanese Woman Lashed (Video) 2. Saudi Woman Harassed in Mall By Sharia Police for Wearing Nail Polish (Video) 3. Woman Stoned to Death Along Pakistan-Afghanistan Frontier (Graphic Video) 4. Turkey Indicts World-Famous Pianist for Atheist Tweet 5. Kuwait Man Receives 10 Years In Prison for Anti-Mohammad Tweet 6. Homosexuals Executed in Iran (Graphic Photos) 7.

Sudanese Woman Lashed (Video) A Sudanese woman is lashed by uniformed policemen at a Khartoum police station. The crowd of men gathered around laugh at the process. Following the spectacle is an interview with Khartoum Governor Dr. Abd Al-Rahman Al-Khadhr, which aired on Blue Nile TV on December 12, 2010. Under Sharia law in Sudan, it is illegal for women to wear pants in public. The penalty: 40 lashes. Source: Middle East Media Research Institute, TV Monitor Project. Please see, memritv.org and memri.org Excerpt from interview: Gov. Abd Al-Rahman Al-Khadr: What was aired was the implementation of an Islamic punishment. … We should consider the more important issue in this case – our penal code is in keeping with Islam, and the Shari’a is the main source of our legislation. Islamic punishments are carried out to purge the perpetrator. INTERVIEWER: This is not a case of a woman wearing pants, is it? Gov. Abd Al-Rahman Al-Khadr: No, it is not. I did not mention the nature of the crime, because I do not want to slander her. It has to do with immoral activity and prostitution. _________________________________________________________________________________ 2. Saudi Woman Harassed in Mall By Sharia Police for Wearing Nail Polish (Video) A woman caught the attention of Saudi Arabia’s feared Sharia Police at an upscale shopping mall in Riyadh. Contrary to the strictly enforced Sharia law, she was wearing lipstick, nail polish, and a few strands of hair were visible under her veil. The agency that zealously enforces Sharia law in Saudi Arabia is called the Commission for the Promotion of Virtue and the Prevention of Vice. This very brave woman stunned the Sharia Police – who are used to absolute obedience – by putting up a public protest and recording the incident with her camera phone. The State Police were eventually called in. It is not known what eventually happened to this woman, who lives in a closed society with no civil liberties. Since the video was posted on YouTube, it is reasonable to assume she survived – at least for the short-term. Source: Middle East Media Research Institute, TV Monitor Project. Please see, memritv.org and memri.org Excerpt from video: Woman: None of your business! I’m free to put on nail polish if I want to. … I’m not getting out! What are you gonna do about it? … You are not the boss of me, and you can’t tell me not to wear nail polish! _________________________________________________________________________________ 3. Woman Stoned to Death Along Pakistan-Afghanistan Frontier (Graphic Video) A lot has been written about women being stoned to death under Sharia law. But rarely has it been seen. The cell-phone video below shows a woman being stoned to death, allegedly by the Taliban in Pakistan, along the Afghanistan border. Watching it is very upsetting, but necessary to serve witness to the brutality of Sharia law. The woman is ruthlessly killed in a slow form of execution by having stones thrown at her again and again. Her “crime”: allegedly being seen out with a man. Below, ABC News shows a heavily edited and sanitized version of the video in a Sept 24, 2010 report by Brian Ross: Below, an unedited version, as originally shown by Al-Aan TV in Dubai: See also, Memri’s translation of the Al-Aan TV segment. ________________________________________________________________________________ 4. Turkey Indicts World-Famous Pianist for Atheist Tweet World famous concert pianist Fazil Say is considering never returning to his native Turkey after a Turkish court accepted an indictment against him for allegations of insulting Islam. After decades of secular rule, Turkey has recently fallen to the forces of Islamism. Say’s offense? A tweet: The openly atheist Say wrote a tweet mocking the muezzin, a person who leads the call to prayer in a mosque. “The muezzin finished the azan in 22 seconds. What’s the rush? A lover? A raki table?” he asked. He also retweeted a verse attributed to the 11th-century poet Omar Khayyám: “You say rivers of wine flow in heaven, is heaven a tavern for you? You say two houris (beautiful young virgin women) await each believer there, is heaven a brothel to you?” Say is known for his electric performances of Beethoven. Great art that will never be heard where Sharia reigns. ________________________________________________________________________________ 5. Kuwait Man Receives 10 Years In Prison for Anti-Mohammad Tweet A Kuwaiti man was sentenced to 10 years in prison for allegedly sending “disparaging” tweets about the Prophet Mohammad. Hamad al-Naqi was found guilty of “endangering state security” – whatever that means. Mr. al-Naqi is actually lucky. Shortly after being arrested for his “crime,” Kuwait’s parliament approved a law imposing the death penalty on any Muslim who insults God, his prophets, messengers, Prophet Mohammad’s wives or the Koran, in any form of expression, if they don’t repent. ________________________________________________________________________________ 6. Homosexuals Executed in Iran (Graphic Photos) Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad infamously told an audience at Columbia University that there are no homosexuals in Iran. If that’s true, it’s because they are being murdered under Sharia law. Four Iranian gay men are due to be executed for sodomy under their nation’s Sharia law, according to recent stories in the Huffington Post and Jerusalem Post. The four men — identified by the Human Rights Activist News Agency in Iran as Saadat Arefi, Vahid Akbari, Javid Akbari and Houshmand Akbari — are set to be hanged after their guilty verdicts were approved recently by “high court” judges. A recent study found homosexuals in Iran are comprehensively and systematically brutalized by the Islamist regime, which exposes them to horrific punishment, bullying and risk of suicide. The first detailed report on Iran’s homosexual community has found that its members live under social and state repression, with some being persecuted, forced into exile or even sentenced to death. A series of photos from 2005 shows the hanging of two terrified teenage Iranian boys, allegedly for their “crime” of homosexuality. The photos are of Mahmoud Asgari, 16, and Ayaz Marhoni, 18. The Washington Post reported on the controversy surrounding the photos and the difficulty in verifying the “crimes” of these two teenagers in the closed, totalitarian Islamist society of Iran. ___________________________________________________________________________________ 7. Tunisian Demonstration Demands Death for Man Accused of Heresy (Video) The following is footage of an Islamist demonstration held in Tunisia in response to statements made by an unnamed Tunisian expat deemed heretical to Islam. The footage aired on the Al-Jazeera network on June 8, 2012. Translated by Memri. Excerpt from video: Tunisian cleric Mokhtar Jbeli: That man had the audacity to affront us and all that is sacred to us. He does not respect the Tunisian people. He must be punished. We demand that he be placed on trial and punished. Interviewer: Even if he apologizes? Mokhtar Jbeli: Anybody who affronts the Prophet Muhammad must be punished by death, even if he repents. The punishment for heresy must be imposed upon him. Even if he repents, he must be killed, because it is the decree of Allah. Crowd: Allah Akbar. Allah Akbar. Mokhtar Jbeli: Islam will be victorious, whether the atheists, the infidels, the secular, and their ilk like it or not. Tunisian cleric Shihab Al-Din Tleish: Let everybody know that for the sake of the Prophet Muhammad, we are willing to sacrifice our fathers, our mothers, and ourselves. We will be slaughtered for your sake, oh Messenger of Allah. We will not allow the Messenger of Allah to be cursed. ___________________________________________________________________________________ 8. Tunisian Islamists Slaughter Convert to Christianity (Extremely Graphic Video) According to the Encyclopaedia of Islam, the most authoritative reference work on Islam in the English language, “there is unanimity that the male apostate must be put to death.” WARNING: The video below of a brutal beheading is EXTREMELY GRAPHIC. It is highly recommended that you do not view. It is posted here only to serve as an historical witness to the brutality of Sharia law – the barbarity of Islamist societies can not be denied. For those who prefer not to view it, a full textual summary can be found here. The “crime”: converting to Christianity and refusing to renounce it. By Raymond Ibrahim, Gatestone Institute, June 4, 2012 Liberal talk show host Tawfiq Okasha recently appeared on “Egypt Today,” airing a video of Muslims slicing off a young man’s head off for the crime of apostasy — in this instance, the crime of converting to Christianity and refusing to renounce it. A young man appears held down by masked men. His head is pulled back, with a knife to his throat. He does not struggle and appears resigned to his fate. Speaking in Arabic, the background speaker, or “narrator,” chants a number of Muslim prayers and supplications, mostly condemning Christianity, which, because of the Trinity, is referred to as a polytheistic faith: “Let Allah be avenged on the polytheist apostate”; “Allah empower your religion, make it victorious against the polytheists”; “Allah, defeat the infidels at the hands of the Muslims,” and “There is no god but Allah and Muhammad is his messenger.” Then, to cries of “Allahu Akbar!”— Allah is greater!”—the masked man holding the knife to the apostate’s throat begins to slice away, severing the head completely after approximately one minute of graphic knife-carving, as the victim drowns in blood. Finally, the severed head is held aloft to more Islamic slogans of victory. More. [Please "like" this article on Facebook and share with your contacts.
