The Prophet Ordered Butchering of 706 Jews - Killing Infidels is a Mitzvah*!

Articles in an Urdu Magazine of Islamic Movement of Uzbekistan (IMU): "706 Jews of Banu Quraiza Tribe were Butchered on the Prophet's Order; Therefore, By Killing the Infidels We Must Give Testimony of Our Love to Allah and His Messenger"

A jihadist internet forum released two issues of an Urdu-language magazine published by the Islamic Movement of Uzbekistan (IMU), a terrorist organization based in the Pakistani tribal region. The magazine is named Ghazwa-e-Hind (the Battle of India), a battle forecast in one of the sayings of Prophet Muhammad which is frequently quoted by jihadist organizations in Pakistan. The two issues released are numbered 5 and 6, respectively for November and December 2011.

GPN Editor's Comment: The message is clear: Killing infidels is an expression of love to the Prophet. While most religions, including what are traditionally called in the West the world's three great religions, include too many messages and histories of violence against non-believers, the basic message instructing the faithful to kill comes across most directly from the source religion in Islam. This is a huge ideological hazard that a progressive Islam has to overcome. See also the comparative study by late Professor Leo Kuper, who was considered by many the doyen of genocide studies.

Neo-Nazi Politician in Greece Announces Confidently "There Were No Ovens and There Were No Gas Chambers"

Reuters and the Associated Press report from Greece that the leader of the extreme right wing party, Nikolaos Michaloliakos who heads the "Golden Dawn Party," that received a disturbing 7% of the vote in the recent election, proceeded to announce: "There were no ovens, it's all a lie… and there were also no gas chambers. Michaloliakos made this statement in an interview on a television station.

Members of "Golden Dawn" use the traditional Nazi salute.

Michaloliakos founded "Golden Dawn" in 1993. Photographs of him in the press during the election and since show him accompanied repeatedly by a giant rough-looking man plus other toughs.

Sudanese President Omar Al-Bashir: "We Want to Liberate Our Brothers in the South from those Vermin

The following excerpts aired on Sudan TV on April 19 and 20, 2012 :

April 19, 2012:

Omar Al-Bashir : Our Lord, open up a new gateway for us – a gateway to Paradise, Allah willing.

Our casualties go to Paradise and theirs go to the Hellfire...

Our lands in the Blue Nile Province and in South Kordufan continue to be defiled by their forces. Your role and your instructions right now… We don't want any vermin left in the Blue Nile Province. We don't want any insect left in the Nuba Mountains...

We want [Defense Minister] Abd Al-Rahim here to deliver us the land in its entirety before the end of autumn, and leave the land of Sudan free of any poisonous vermin. My message to our people and our fellow citizens in the South is that we thought those people were interested in peace, and in the well-being of the South. So we signed an agreement with them. We implemented the agreement and handed over the South to them. But now, we have realized that we were wrong. We want to rectify the mistake.

We want to Liberate our Brothers in the South from Those Vermin.

Sudan TV via Al-Arabiya TV, April 19, 2012

I salute you today, at a time when a precious part of the land of Kordufan has been defiled by the traitors – by traitors, mercenaries, and vermin…

It is a precious part of Kordufan. We will not relinquish even a single inch of our land. We have said this in the past: If anybody dares to lay his hand on Sudan, we will chop it off.

Governor of North Kordufan Mu'tasim Zaki Al-Din : There is flagrant aggression on the part of the state of South Sudan, with which we signed treaties and agreements, but it wants to backtrack and continue in the path of enmity, and of subservience to global Zionism, which remains hostile to our country. But we praise Allah for allowing us these moments so that we could get dust on our boots on the path of Allah, in response to the call to Jihad, from which we took a respite for a while because we wanted peace. Peace is the basis of Islam. [The Koran says]: "If the enemy inclines toward peace, do thou incline toward peace." But they wanted war and fighting. [break in audio] … like we were previously in the forests of the South, steadfast mujahideen. The path of Jihad continues, even if it took a few days' respite for the sake of peace. Jihad, however, must return.

Today, we in the province of North Kordufan, just like in any other province of Sudan, have declared a state of alert and mobilization. Mr. President, these are the sons and daughters of Kordufan, who have responded to the call of Jihad.

It Really Happened

Taliban in Afghanistan: "We are Here and We Will Launch Attacks Whenever We Want"

Taliban suicide bombers and gunmen barraged for many hours the diplomatic quarter of Kabul and the Parliament, and also struck in at least seven reported attacks in Kabul and at least 4 provinces in Afghanistan in what was overall a characteristic complex Taliban attack. The New York Times reported, "The airport was closed to traffic, underscoring that although the suicide bombers and gunman were small in number they could hold buildings for hours, disrupt normal life and terrify locals."

The Times described the "choreography of the attacks" included multiple suicide bombers and a focus on high profile government and foreign targets. It noted that the attack was similar to one in September 2011 on the American Embassy in Kabul. The Taliban proudly claimed responsibility. Their spokesman said, "This is a message to those foreign commanders who claim that the Taliban lost momentum. We just showed that we are here and we will launch attacks whenever we want."
