This is a FYI addressing followers and/or members of G+ who conclude from off-the-cuff remarks I made about misogyny and sexism. I as the messenger am sometimes accused of being a misogynist and sexist by certain #SJW within the communities both on Google Plus and on social media, e.g. Reddit.
"Hori ez dela nire asmo bat!" ("This is not my intent!") was what the Basque iraultzaileen (revolutionaries) were sometimes hear to shout when the Spanish government accused them of being terrorists rather than freedom fighters that they all were. Today they are politicians after they chose to serve their community rather than to continue to blow up Spaniards.
In response to such ignorance by my fellow revolutionaries who ought to know better, I have only the motto of the Order of the Garter to remind my accusers that this is evil thinking - "Honi soit qui mal y pense".
Though the word "honi" is borrowed from the Basque, the overall meaning in this context is, "just because I mention misogyny and sexism, your accusations of me regarding misogyny and sexism are but blaming the messenger.
For I am not a misogynist nor a sexist; rather, my use of misogyny and sexism help to inspire hyperbole and satire.
If you punch a fascist as Antifa, then you have become the fascist. Your high ideals and higher moral ground is a disgrace to freedom and democracy, and your only claim is to degeneracy and perversions of all kinds.
Until people of color, especially women, are no longer oppressed like those so-called terrorists in Europe, the New Left's cause is lost in parties on the weekend while a few revolutionaries begin a slow descent into the madness of drug abuse and the endless cycle of addiction and rehabilitation.
Yet not all revolutionaries are addicts. For the majority of the New Left are productive and sober members of society.
As for women who follow me and were offended by direct messages prior today, I have only this excuse: "I am old school and the metrosexuality of the average beta male who fronts feminism could lead I as a fool to become a misogynist and sexist by one small error, to listen to the heart when the voice of reason cries "Resist, resist, wafi sabil allah eiz wajil" (Resist, resist, for the sake of God Almighty).
No, I am not a terrorist for speaking Arabic; I am a revolutionary for peace, love, unity and respect.
Fuck ISIL, and death to the death cultists known as Da'esh. My thanks to Russia and America - work together to make politics great again!
For those feminists in the know, I rebuke the youtube male feminist who shot dead his co-streamer, a woman. Social justice ideology condemns murder as more heinous than shutting down free speech, and I condemn Antifa supporters for that.
In closing I will also deny that the presumed to be terror attacks in Europe and the UK are by terrorists. They were , are, and have always been freedom fighters.
In closing, I have this to say:
Après avoir été qualifiés de terroristes,
les combattants de la liberté
ont perdu leur cause de liberté,
et l'Occident - le monde libre -
n'est plus ce qu'il était.
After they were labeled terrorists,
the freedom fighters
have lost their cause of freedom,
and the West - the free world -
is no longer what it was.
As for extremists, they have lost their true reason for existence - to free their peple from oppression from the majority, who are "whiter" than they are, while taking the moral high ground.
This is not a race war, because the race ideology is based on pseudoscience - it is a fact that the West honors the light skinned over the dark skinned people.
This is not racist; this is the once unspoken truth, a manner of apocalypse, my revelation to freedom lovers everywhere.
If you are truly a revolutionary for freedom, you know what greater jihad means. Even if our right-wing detractors mock us, remember this: jihad is the holy war against the worldly, not all of humanity but only those people who have lost their way. So offer them the true way of freedom lovers, charity, loving-kindness or whatever you call it these days.
And remember that I am not an Islamist nor am I what label is used to delegitimize my place in the history of freedom.
Finally, as my German friends might think, I say: "Die einzige gute Party ist der Block Party. Fuck Politik!" (The only good party is the block part! Fuck politics!"

Islamophobia, Salafi-jihadist Extremists and Millennialism (rant)
Perhaps this is the reason for islamophobia, and inspiration for extremists like those Islamic State militants:
Quran 8:12
"I will cast terror into the hearts of those who disbelieve.
Therefore strike off their heads and strike off every fingertip of them".
However, the verse reads in full:
'Your Lord inspired the angels: “I am with you, so support those who believe. I will cast terror into the hearts of those who disbelieve. So strike above the necks, and strike off every fingertip of theirs.”'
Upon reading Quran 8, the Islamophobe has taken the chapter as proof that the Quran is a book of militancy.
Given that the word Islam means submission to God, the Quran inspires all Muslims to join the greater Jihad of taming the heart so that evil passions including anger, fear, and lust, are defeated by the five daily rituals of cleansing and prayer.
As well, the militants' extremism is evidence of the lesser Jihad which imposes politics upon Islam resulting in the extreme form of Sharia that aggressively imposes their will on men, women and children while claiming it is the will of God.
Yet the Quran exposes these aggressors.
"Fight in the path of God those who fight you, but do not aggress. Surely God does not love the aggressors. And fight them where you come upon them, and send them out from where they have sent you out, for persecution is a worse thing than fighting. And do not fight them at the Sacred Mosque (in Mecca) unless they fight you there, but if they fight you, then fight them back. That is the reward of the rejectors. Then if they cease, so God is All-Forgiving, Gentle. And fight them until there is no more persecution and the religion is for God. But if they cease, so let there be no hostility except against wrongdoers." - Qur’an 2:190-193
Though these Salafi inspired extremists have labelled righteous Muslims who fight them and Westerners alike as wrongdoers the aggressors are blind to their own wrongdoing, which they spin as righteousness.
Truly the extremists follow political Islam, Islamism, not as a religion but as a cultic militancy that is fascist, millennialist and totalitarian. Contrary to the will of God, their ideology reflects the will of men bent on ushering in the Armageddon that they believe will result in the Second Coming of Christ.
We are dealing with extremists whose goal is the millennialism that is the shared hope of Christendom. Few mainstream media outlets will mention this because it would cause panic among the Christian millennialists, which lead to unsubstantiated fear that a no-fly zone over Syria will lead to a world war. Right-wing fear mongers even predicted that nuclear war with Russia was imminent if Hillary Clinton is elected.
Yet nobody in power will ever discuss this aspect of al Qaeda, Islamic State and Taliban ideology due to the moral panic it might cause.

Notes on Salafi-jihadism
The Salafi groups—which experts say encompass some of the deadliest organizations today, including Al Qaeda, Hamas, and the violent splinter groups from the Muslim Brotherhood (al Ikhwan al Muslimun)—aim to re-create the perfection of the early Islamic period. Salafism is associated with the beliefs of Wahhabism (fundamentalism in Saudi Arabia) and fundamentalist interpretations of Islam throughout the Islamic world. Such groups advocate the use of violence and emphasize the smaller jihad against the nonbeliever over the more important and larger jihad within each individual. Salafism differs from Islamism in that it rejects any Western ideologies or constructs such as constitutions, political parties, and elections, which Islamists support (as long as Islamic parties benefit). - Mia Bloom, Bombshell
What is Salfism?
Salafis are fundamentalists who believe in a return to the original ways of Islam. The word 'Salafi' comes from the Arabic phrase, 'as-salaf as-saliheen', which refers to the first three generations of Muslims (starting with the Companions of the Prophet), otherwise known as the Pious Predecessors. - What is Salafism and should we be worried by it?
If the vast majority of non-Muslims find it difficult to strike the right chord between attacking Salafi-jihadists without being perceived as attacking Islam, the hurdles for the United States and its allies seem almost insurmountable. Therefore, a counter-terrorism approach that highlights the corruption of Salafi-jihadist ideology not on religious, but on secular grounds, is more likely to have the desired effect of weakening that ideology’s appeal.
Rather than highlighting the doctrinal and theological inconsistencies among Salafi-jihadists, the United States and its allies should grasp every opportunity to highlight the disastrous consequences that Salafi-jihadist violence has wrought on the everyday lives not only of Westerners, but first and foremost on Muslims themselves. It is a simple, though not sufficiently emphasized fact that the primary victims of Salafi-jihadists are Muslims, who are killed and maimed in far greater numbers than non-Muslims.
Salafi-jihadists openly justify the killing of civilians, including Muslims, under a logic of the ends justifying the means. It is equally a fact that leaders of Salafi-jihadist organizations hypocritically preach about the benefits of martyrdom, but rarely, if ever, conduct suicidal operations themselves, or send their loved ones on such missions. It is a fact that al-Qa`ida and associated groups offer no vision for Muslims other than perennial jihad—hardly an appealing prospect. - The Salafi Jihad as a Religious Ideology
Islamic State is an example of a Salafi-jihadist extremist group originally associated with al Qaeda that has brought Islamic fascism with a totalitarian spin on Sharia. Because of its extreme form of Salafi jihadism, most of the Muslim world has allied with the West to defend itself from this extremist group.

Propaganda and The So-Called War on Terrorists (satire)
IMO the biggest fallacy on the Internet is this: "All Muslims are terrorists." This is the fallacy that the Mainstream Media (MSM) put out daily in their broadcasts. Yet they fell over themselves trying to paint the Chapel Hill terrorist as an angry man who hated Christians and Muslims equally.
Yes, you heard me correctly: I am labelling the far-left atheist turned anarchist a terrorist. Why? To show that the label "terrorist" is as ridiculous for an atheist as it is for all terrorists who hide behind religion.
This explains why the MSM use the neutral term "extremist" rather than applying a religious label since such extremists hide behind religion.
Even when the false flag terms "Muslim terrorist" and "Islamic jihadi" are bandied about, it is used by MSM as propaganda to distract from the fact that these conflicts in the Middle East, and in the Ukraine are about oil and supported by Big Oil.
So far, when exposed to this truth, the people who buy into this propaganda will go to any lengths to denigrate naysayers while paint the term "Muslim terrorists" as an unrealistic fact, despite it not being anywhere near the truth, except in their minds.
To put it bliuntlu: Big Oil wants Syria's oil. It also wants Libya's oil, and Iraq's oil. It wants a pipeline to traverse Afghanistan from oil fields in Kazakstan to Pakistan, and it wants Russia's oil to keep flowing through pipelines through the Ukraine into the EU.
Most likely, Boko Haram is a distraction from the fact that Mr Jonathan is unwilling share the wealth with all Nigerians, which is a factor in extremists who arose from marginalized Muslims in northeastern Nigeria.
This is the truth that the true believers of "Muslim terrorists" do not want the world to hear. They would rather perpetuate the propaganda that this war is about religion while ignoring the strings being pulled by Big Oil.
Thanks to Big Oil for pulling the wool over their eyes. All the naysayers will just pretend what I just wrote is a conspiracy theory and fall for the MSM lies about "Muslim terrorists."
For not all Muslims are terrorists. Indeed, these extremists hide behind Islam.
Sadly, the fact that few people in the West bother to educate themselves about Arabs and Islam is obvious in how they focus on the Quran and perpetuate hate on Muslims.
Aisha being 9 when she married Mohammad? A fiction concocted to justify child marriage, which is a tradition preceding Islam.
The growing militancy depicted in the Quran? A fiction concocted by taking the Surahs out of context and scrutinizing it from a biased point of view.
It is not the Quran that is the problem with Islam. Rather, it is the fact that the hadiths seem to be misused in a way that reflects the patriarchal tradition preceding Islam. Even shariah has been misused by the extremists, contrary to the ethics contained in the Quran.
I will call the antipathy towards Islam fiction when it is based solely on anti-Muslim propaganda designed to foment hatred towards Muslims. There has not been an unbiased reflection on Islam by certain elements of MSM, but rather a biased slant that paint it as militant.
Such is propaganda, for it creates the fallacy that the object of hatred is worth hating, and thus distracts us from the authors of that propaganda: the elites who stand to profit from their investments in Big Oil.
We in the West are dupes if we believe that Muslims are our enemies. The true enemy will always be the elites who do not care if we fight amongst ourselves, as long as they maintain their investments.
This is why I have stated previously that bombing the oil wells and the pipelines will stop the conflicts in Libya, Syria, Iraq, Nigeria and even the Ukraine.
For the conflict is not the West versus "Muslim terrorists." Rather it is the haves versus the have-nots. They even profit were the far-left to fight with the far-right over Israel, through their investments in weapons of war.
This is why certain elements in the West will not confront the fact that the elites are controlling the people through the State by pushing the propaganda about "Muslim terrorists" since it is safer to believe in a lie than to face the truth.
Yet they will insist these lies about Muslims are the truth, because it fits their limited world view.
Thankfully, they represent a small but vocal minority.
Most people loathe the fact that the elites are controlling our view about wars in the Ukraine, in the Middle East and in Africa. Yet the protests against the propaganda are filtered out of the MSM's stream.
IMO the TV political pundits will discount anti-war demonstrators because serious discussion about the propaganda might lose profits for their masters, the 1% that controls most of the world's wealth.
This is why the call to explain the War on Terror as a "religious war" was given. It is a ruse to divide the people so that the State can control them. As long as the right-wing conservatives are fighting with the left-wing libertarians, the rich can profit from the confusion.
In the end, the West will continue the drama as report by the MSM in support of their masters. We all want the Islamic State wiped out. Yet this drama is orchestrated by the elites for their profit, including the training of the extremists by Israel, Turkey and other players in this sick drama called war.
As for myself, my role is to watch it all and remind the people that Big Oil and their elite masters wants this drama in the name of free market capitalism.
While the rich profit, the middle class is made all the poorer as they fight among themselves, encouraged by cleverly placed propaganda by the State, all thanks to the MSM.
This so-called war on terrorism is inspired by carefully placed propaganda. And the only people laughing on the way to the banks are the rich.
Update: March 12, 2015 @ 1330
According to propaganda from Raqqa in eastern Syria, Assyrian Christians' lives have been lost to the Islamic State extremists.
From the extremist's point of view, Islamic State in Iraq and Syria bases their ideology on radical Islam, and their foot soldiers are intent on ushering the End of Days.
That's right: these Muslim religious fanatics are not only deadly, they believe themselves to be the chosen ones of God Almighty, ready to fight with the armies of the Anti-Messiah (the West led by America).
What irony! All of Christendom believes they too are fighting the armies of the Antichrist (jihadi extremists).
In truth, this is merely a distraction from the fact that both the 'anti-Isis' coalition and the ISIS have their eyes on the oil wells, both in eastern Syria and in northern Iraq.
Meanwhile, the Russian government is in full support of an anti-ISIS coalition that is authorized by the UN Security Council and is in accordance with international law.
For the proxy war in Syria and in Iraq is based on Big Oil interests lobbying for control of the lucrative oil market in the Western nations, both of the US-led anti-ISIS coalition and of the proposed UN-approved coalition that Russia wants.
Coincidentally, the 25 cents per litre drop in the price of petrol in the latter part of 2014 was followed by the rise to the same prices before the drop occurred. A lot of oil investors profited from the resulting rise in oil prices, and speculation points to a lot of oil shares being turn into cash to fund the US government's anti-ISIS coalition.
Somewhere in America, Big Oil investors are still laughing on the way to the bank.

The American Muslim Political Coordination Council (AMPCC):
American Muslims utterly condemn what are apparently vicious and cowardly acts of terrorism against innocent civilians. We join with all Americans in calling for the swift apprehension and punishment of the perpetrators. No political cause could ever be assisted by such immoral acts.
September 11, 2001, Washington D.C.
The American Muslim Alliance (AMA) Condemns Terrorist Attack:
Dr. Agha Saeed, the National Chair of the American Muslim Alliance: “These attacks are against both divine and human laws and we condemn them in the strongest terms. The Muslim Americans join the nation in calling for swift apprehension and stiff punishment of the perpetrators, and offer our sympathies to the victims and their families.
September 11, 2001, Newark, California
AMC Deplores the Attacks on the World Trade Centre and the Pentagon:
The American Muslim Council (AMC) strongly condemns this morning's plane attacks on the World Trade Centre and the Pentagon and expresses deep sorrow for Americans that were injured and killed. The AMC sends out its condolences to all victims of this cowardly terrorist attack. There is no cause that justifies this type of immoral and inhumane act that has affected so many innocent American lives. The AMC supports all efforts of the investigation in order to track down the people responsible for this tragic act of terrorism.

ISNA Condemns Terrorist Attacks:
The Islamic Society of North America (ISNA) joins Muslim Americans and all Americans in expressing its deep sorrow over the apparently deliberate air-crashes in New York and Washington, D.C. that have led to the loss of countless innocent lives.
ISNA joins Muslim organisations throughout North America in condemning these apparent terrorist attacks and calls upon Muslim Americans to come forward with their skills and resources to help alleviate the suffering of the affected people and their families. ISNA condemns these apparently senseless acts of terrorism against innocent civilians, which will only be counterproductive to any agenda the perpetrators may have had in mind. No political cause could ever be assisted by such immoral acts.
We join with all Americans in calling for the swift apprehension and punishment of the perpetrators, and call upon our justice system to maintain strict standards of justice and fairness in these trying times. We also urge the media to exercise restraint, and to act responsibly when reporting on these terrorist attacks. Until the perpetrators are brought to justice, all media reports should be accurate, restrained and sensitive. Let us pray to God that He may Guide us all to keep firm in following our principles and offer relief to the victims of violence wherever they may be.

The Shari'ah Scholars Association of North America (SSANA) strongly condemn this morning's plane attacks on the World Trade Centre and the Pentagon and expresses its deep sorrow for Americans that were injured and killed. SSANA sends out its condolences to all victims of this cowardly terrorist attack. There is no cause that justifies this type of immoral and inhumane act that has affected so many innocent American lives. SSANA supports all efforts to investigate and immediately
capture the evil persons responsible for these immoral and cowardly acts. Certainly, there is no justification for these acts from either an Islamic perspective or, in truth, from the perspective of any other moral and freedom-loving people. These acts diminish the freedom of all Americans, including American Muslims. Our condolences go out to all of the victims of these inhumane acts.

Our hearts bleed for the attacks that have targeted the World Trade Centre (WTC), as well as other institutions in the United States despite our strong oppositions to the American biased policy towards Israel on the military, political and economic fronts. Islam, the religion of tolerance, holds the human soul in high esteem, and considers the attack against innocent human beings a grave sin, this is backed by the Qur'anic verse which reads: "Whosoever kills a human being [as punishment] for [crimes] other than manslaughter or [sowing] corruption in the earth, it shall be as if he has killed all mankind, and whosoever saves the life of one, it shall be as if he had saved the life of all mankind". (Al-Ma'idah, 5:32);

Yusuf Islam (formerly Cat Stevens), prominent British Muslim:
I wish to express my heartfelt horror at the indiscriminate terrorist attacks committed against innocent people of the United States yesterday. While it is still not clear who carried out the attack, it must be stated that no right thinking follower of Islam could possibly condone such an action: the Qur'an equates the murder of one innocent person with the murder of the whole of humanity. We pray for the families of all those who lost their lives in this unthinkable act of violence as well as all those injured; I hope to reflect the feelings of all Muslims and people around the world whose sympathies go out to the victims at this sorrowful moment.
On singing an a cappella version of "Peace Train" for the Concert for New York City: After the tragedy, my heart was heavy with sadness and shock, and I was determined to help in some way. Organisers asked me to take part in a message for tolerance and sing "Peace Train" Of course, I agreed … As a Muslim from the West, it is important to me to let people know that these acts of mass murder have nothing to do with Islam and the beliefs of Muslims.

Sheikh Muhammad Sayyid Al-Tantawi, Imam of Al-Azhar Mosque in Cairo, Egypt:
Attacking innocent people is not courageous, it is stupid and will be punished on the Day of Judgement … It is not courageous to attack innocent children, women and civilians. It is courageous to protect freedom, it is courageous to defend oneself and not to attack.

Sheikh Muhammad Hussein Fadlallah, spiritual guide of the Hizbullah movement in Lebanon:
Beside the fact that they are forbidden by Islam, these acts do not serve those who carried them out but their victims, who will reap the sympathy of the whole world … Islamists who live according to the human values of Islam could not commit such crimes.

Fatwa from 'Abdul-'Aziz bin 'Abdullah bin Muhammad Aal Al-Sheikh, the Grand Mufti of Saudi Arabia, President of the Committee of Major Scholars and the Centre for Knowledge-Based Research and Verdicts
As for the very dangerous occurrences that have happened in the United States of America, on account of which thousands of souls have passed away; Islamic Shari'ah (legislation) does not sanction such actions which are not from this religion. These actions do not agree with the spirit and foundations of Shari'ah from numerous angles.
September 15, 2001
Hamza Yusuf, American Muslim leader:
Religious zealots of any creed are defeated people who lash out in desperation, and they often do horrific things. And if these people [who committed murder on September 11] indeed are Arabs, Muslims, they’re obviously very sick people and I can’t even look at it in religious terms. It’s politics, tragic politics. There’s no Islamic justification for any of it … You can’t kill innocent people. There’s no Islamic declaration of war against the United States. I think every Muslim country except Afghanistan has an embassy in this country.
And in Islam, a country where you have embassies is not considered a belligerent country. In Islam, the only wars that are permitted are between armies and they should engage on battlefields and engage nobly. The Prophet Muhammad said: “Do not kill women or children or non-combatants and do not kill old people or religious people,” and he mentioned priests, nuns and rabbis. And he said: “Do not cut down fruit-bearing trees and do not poison the wells of your enemies.” The Hadith, the sayings of the Prophet, say that no one can punish with fire except the lord of fire. It’s prohibited to burn anyone in Islam as a punishment. No one can grant these attackers any legitimacy. It was evil.

Ayatollah Ali Khamene’i, supreme jurist-ruler of Iran:
The killing of people, in any place and with any kind of weapon, including atomic bombs, long-range missiles, biological or chemical weapons, passenger or war planes, carried out by any organisation, country or individuals is condemned … It makes no difference whether such massacres happen in Hiroshima, Nagasaki, Qana, Sabra, Shatila, Deir Yassin, Bosnia, Kosovo, Iraq or in New York and Washington.

Sheikh Muhammad Yusuf Islahi, Pakistani-American Muslim leader:
The sudden barbaric attack on innocent citizens living in peace is extremely distressing and deplorable. Every gentle human heart goes out to the victims of this attack and as humans we are ashamed at the barbarism perpetrated by a few people. Islam, which is a religion of peace and tolerance, condemns this act and sees this as a wounding scar on the face of humanity. I appeal to Muslims to strongly condemn this act, express unity with the victims' relatives, donate blood, money and do whatever it takes to help the affected people.
Sheikh Muhammad Ali Al-Hanooti, Palestinian-American Mufti and member of the North American Fiqh Council:
The people who attacked the WTC and Pentagon and hijacked the fourth plane that crashed in Pennsylvania are criminals who deserve the severest punishment as the Qur'an elaborates. They are murderers and terrorists. If there were any person who felt happy for that incident we would not be able to equate them with those criminals, but we can say that no one with faith and ethics would accept the murder and targeting of innocent people.
September 20, 2001, Fatwa Session on Latest Tragic Events
Sheikh Yusuf Qaradawi, Qatar; Tariq Bishri, Egypt; Muhammad S. Awwa, Egypt; Fahmi Huwaydi, Egypt; Haytham Khayyat, Syria; Sheikh Taha Jabir Al-Alwani, U.S.A.:
All Muslims ought to be united against all those who terrorize the innocents, and those who permit the killing of non-combatants without a justifiable reason. Islam has declared the spilling of blood and the destruction of property as absolute prohibitions until the Day of Judgment. [It is] necessary to apprehend the true perpetrators of these crimes, as well as those who aid and abet them through incitement, financing or other support. They must be brought to justice in an impartial court of law and [punished] appropriately; [It is] a duty of Muslims to participate in this effort with all possible means.

The Conference strongly condemns the brutal terror acts that befell the United States, caused huge losses in human lives from various nationalities and wreaked tremendous destruction and damage in New York and Washington. It further reafirms that these terror acts run counter to the teachings of the divine religions as well as ethical and human values, stresses the necessity of tracking down the perpetrators of these acts in the light of the results of investigations and bringing them to justice to inflict on them the penalty they deserve. It also underscores its support of this effort. In this respect, the OIC expresses its condolences to and sympathy with the people and government of the United States and the families of the victims in these mournful and tragic circumstances.
October 10, 2001, Final Communiqué of the Ninth Extraordinary Session of the Islamic Conference of Foreign Ministers
Salih bin Muhammad Lahidan, Chairman of the Supreme Judicial Council, Saudi Arabia:
Killing the weak, infants, women, and the elderly, and destroying property are considered serious crimes in Islam... Viewing on the TV networks what happened to the twin towers ... was like watching Doomsday. Those who commit such crimes are the worst of people. Anyone who thinks that any Islamic scholar will condone such acts is totally wrong ... This barbaric act is not justified by any sane mind-set ... This act is pernicious and shameless and evil in the extreme.

Syed Shahabuddin, Indian Muslim author:
Islam prohibits terrorism as well as suicide. Jihad is neither and has no place for taking innocent lives or one's own life. No cause, howsoever noble or just, can justify terrorism. So while one may sympathize with the legitimate aspirations of the Palestinian people and support their claim to a state of their own, while one may appreciate the democratic awakening among the people of many Muslim states and uphold their demand for withdrawal of foreign presence from their soil and support their struggle for revision of the terms of trade for their natural resources, no thinking Muslim can go along with the use of terrorism for securing political goals.
