FP: Why do you think moderate Muslims are virtually ignored by governments and the media?Massoud: Most of American mosques are financed and run by Wahhabis. Wahhabi imams are anything but moderate hence most of religious leaders are radicals. So-called “civil rights” groups i e.. CAIR. MPAC. ICNA. MAS etc that comprise Muslim establishment are nothing more than offshoots of the Muslim Brotherhood and fronts for Hamas and al-Qaeda. They are very well financed and are extremely skilful manipulators of the media. And most of the people in government and media truly believe that those groups are moderate because they are either too lazy to do research or they choose to ignore terrorist ties. As a result when either the government or the media needs an Islamic point of view. Muslim establishment groups are go-to “experts” by default. With the “expert” seat being filled moderate Muslims are left out. Another problem with moderate Muslims is they are scared and not organized. They are scared because they cannot speak up in mosques for fear of being kicked out and there are virtually no organizations that represent their views. They are not organized because unlike the radical they do not receive tens of millions of dollars in financial support therefore they have to work for a living. They cannot openly proclaim their agenda of Islamic domination in front of Western audiences. They are gradually taking over the West. Some countries in Europe (France. Britain. Germany etc.) are partially ruled by Sharia law and even up in Canada there is talk about Sharia courts for Muslim communities. Their strategy is very simple. They constantly claim that they are peaceful and moderate and Western media is more than happy to repeat that nonsense. They do not praise terrorism in public but they justify it by playing the Muslim victimhood card. And they are very effective at it. Many radical organizations have already been exposed by counter-terrorism researches like Steven Emerson. John Loftus. Rachel Ehrenfeld. Joe Kaufman. Paul Sperry. Zeyno Baran and many others. The proof that the Muslim establishment is anything but moderate is widely available. However the government and the media either for political reasons or out of sheer stupidity completely ignore it. Massoud: Absolutely. The determining criteria is the belief in Islamic supremacy. Radical Muslims believe in Islamic supremacy which makes them religiously obligated to wage Jihad for world domination using both terrorism and gradual subversion of host societies. Moderate Muslims consider their religion a private matter and believe in religious equality. Massoud: Most of the dangers are presented by passages based on Islamic supremacy doctrine. The Koran contains verses that command us to subjugate or murder non-Muslims in order to create Islamic rule. On the other hand the Koran teaches preciousness of human life. How can a logical person believe that those diametrically opposed concepts came from the same source? How could Allah the Most Merciful the Most Compassionate be the source of “kill [infidels] them wherever you find them”? The only logical explanation is that the Koran has been corrupted over the centuries and all we want to do is to revert it as close as possible to the original. FP: I would like to touch on your intriguing point that “the Koran has been corrupted over the centuries and all we want to do is to revert it as close as possible to the original. ” Is there any textual support for such a notion? And doesn’t this notion run counter to the Islamic doctrine of the perfection of the Qur’an which insists that the Qur’anic text is the same as it was in the time of Uthman? In light of these considerations do you think you will gain much support in the Islamic world? Massoud: We do not have any direct evidence that the Koran has been corrupted over the centuries. However there is some circumstantial evidence supporting our point. First if you take two English Korans translated by two different people the difference could be very substantial. Substantial to the point that the same verses could have completely different meaning. Case in point: who according to the fundamentalists misinterpreted some verses in the Koran. Based on these facts it is reasonable to conclude that when the Koran was copied many times over the mere mortals who did the copying might have “adjusted” the texts to reflect their personal views or the views of their superiors. Second is deductive reasoning. The Koran contains verses that represent mutually exclusive concepts i e. human ‘life is precious’ vs. ‘kill the infidels wherever you find them’ or ‘respect the People of the Book’ vs. ‘do not take Jews and Christians for friends’. Massoud: Islam in its present form is incompatible with modern society that’s why it needs to be reformed. The first step is to abandon the doctrine of Islamic supremacy and remove passages from religious texts that could be interpreted (or misinterpreted) as calls to violence. We believe it is possible. Muslims just as all other people are human beings. If Christians could abandon the Inquisition. Muslims can abandon Jihad. Taking violence out of Islam is not the same as taking Islam out of Islam. It is a historical fact that major religions like Christianity and Judaism have undergone reformations on more than one occasion. Islamic reformation is no different. FP: I am a bit confused as to who can arrogate to themselves the authority to be the arbiter of what the “original” Koran actually said. What if some Muslims argued that they need to “change it back” to get rid of all the peaceful messages that the Koran has in it on the premise that the violent passages represent the real Koran? Wouldn’t this make more sense since the historical Mohammed was himself a military man who waged war captured slaves preached war against unbelievers etc.? He led by example did he not? If this is not true then how exactly do you argue that Islam is meant to be peaceful if Mohammed was himself a man of war? It also appears from your words that you reject the idea of abrogation as delineated by Qur’an 2:106. If so how do you propose to distinguish between the original Qur’an you are saying existed and the interpolated passages since there is no textual evidence for such an original Qur’an? I would also like to touch on the point of the schools of Islamic jurisprudence. In terms of Sufism for example it remains a bit of mystery why this sect of Islam is constantly portrayed as being non-violent and tolerant when the history of the Sufis is actually one of violent jihad. The jihad in Chechnya is a prime example. Also. Sufism is an order a way of mysticism not a school of Islamic jurisprudence. Moreover the pioneering Sufi. Al-Ghazali was clear that his Sufism did not negate his support for Islamic supremacism. Andrew Bostom has published this quote from Al-Ghazali: “[O]ne must go on jihad (i e. warlike razzias or raids) at least once a year…one may use a catapult against them [non-Muslims] when they are in a fortress even if among them are women and children. One may set fire to them and/or drown them…If a person of the Ahl al-Kitab [People of The Book - primarily Jews and Christians] is enslaved his marriage is [automatically] revoked…One may cut down their trees…One must destroy their useless books. Jihadists may take as booty whatever they decide…they may steal as much food as they need…[T]he dhimmi is obliged not to mention Allah or His Apostle…Jews. Christians and Majians must pay the jizya [poll tax on non-Muslims]…on offering up the jizya the dhimmi must hang his head while the official takes hold of his beard and hits [the dhimmi] on the protruberant bone beneath his ear [i e. the mandible]… They are not permitted to ostentatiously display their wine or church bells…their houses may not be higher than the Muslim’s no matter how low that is. The dhimmi may not ride an elegant horse or mule; he may ride a donkey only if the saddle[-work] is of wood. He may not walk on the good part of the road. They [the dhimmis] have to wear [an identifying] patch [on their clothing] even women and even in the [public] baths…[dhimmis] must hold their tongue…. (From the Wagjiz written in 1101 A. D.)” Mr. Massoud please do not misunderstand by questions and arguments here. I am in full support of you and your organization and it is obviously the West’s and the world’s prayer that Muslims will follow people like you. I am only asking these questions to clarify matters and to crystallize if the possibility of an Islamic reformation is truly a genuine hope and can be based on strong and realistic foundations. Massoud: We do not claim to have authority to be arbiters of what the original Koran said. What we do is put forth our arguments why we believe that the modern Koran is not the same as the original. It is up to the Ummah to judge the validity of our arguments and whether accept or reject them. The notion that violent passages represent the real Koran is contradictory to the notion that Allah is the Most Merciful the Most Compassionate therefore we believe it is incorrect. The issue of the Prophet Muhammad is very complicated. On the one hand he was a human and therefore imperfect. On the other hand it is impossible to know how much of the historical accounts of that time are true and how much is fiction. If the Koran could have been changed over the centuries so is the version of events surrounding Mohammad’s life. The idea of abrogation would run contrary to the idea of Allah’s infallibility. We cannot with absolute certainty distinguish between the divine and ‘man-made’ verses. But we can do the best we can by using common sense. As for the Qadari movement (which I am not familiar with) not every reform movement achieves its goals but that does not mean that we shouldn’t even try. Islamic religious authority in the North America that does not advocate ideas of Islamic supremacy. Jihad in Chechnya is not indicative of Sufism. The remnants of Sufism that survived 70 years of Soviet rule are dominated by Wahhabism. Calling Chechen mujahideen Sufi is just as misleading as calling CAIR moderate. Mr. Glazov there is no reason to qualify your questions. They are legitimate attempts to get to the truth of the matter and nobody should be offended by honest and direct questions about ’sensitive’ subjects. Failing to ask those questions is what got us where we are today in the first place. Massoud: Darfur. Hundreds of thousands of Black Muslims are murdered by the radicals. Algeria: more than a hundred thousands of Muslims are murdered by the radicals. Iraq: tens of thousands of Muslims are murdered by the radicals. Afghanistan. Lebanon. Gaza. West Bank. Pakistan. Tajikistan. Chechnya. Any place where there is conflict that involves Muslims moderates are being murdered by radicals. Radical Muslims wage Jihad to kill infidels and many of them consider moderate Muslims as infidels that illustrates my point: Massoud: Muslims like us present the biggest danger to the Islamists because we are destroying the myth of moral authority of the fundamentalism. When non-Muslims point out flaws in Islam the radicals dismiss them as Islamophobes. When Muslims talk about problems with Islam they are not as easy to dismiss. Moderate Muslims are the best antidote to Islamist venom and Western governments are being very unwise to choose radicals over moderates. Massoud: You meaning non-Muslims must stop living in your PC fantasy world stop worrying about offending Muslims and start calling things what they are. You must draw a clear distinction between Muslims and Islamofascists between Islam and Islamism. Muslims will not be offended at the term “Islamofascism” as long as it is clear that the term applies to Islamists not Muslims in general. You can no longer afford to pretend that there is no global war between Islamists and the rest of the world. You must pressure the government and the media to stop whitewashing (and cut all ties with) Islamists. Just because Islamists claim to be moderates that doesn’t make it so. You must stop financing radical Islamic regimes like Saudi Arabia and Iran but sending billions of Petro-Dollars to the Persian Gulf. You must provide political (and should provide financial) support for moderate Muslim groups i e.. American Islamic Forum for Democracy. There are plenty of moderate Muslims who would join the fight against Islamism given the chance. It must be made absolutely clear that terrorism is a military issue and terrorism cases i e.. HLF or al-Arian have no place in civilian courts. When Islamists praise bin Laden march with “Hizballah is our Army” posters or desecrate the American flag you call it freedom of speech. But when a counter-terrorism researcher protests against events organized by Islamists he is charged with harassment and gets a restraining order. And when another counter-terrorism researcher sheds light on Islamist-al Qaeda ties she is sued for libel. Massoud: Yes if the West wakes up before it’s too late. Unfortunately at this time the West seems to be more interested in Left vs. Right rather than Freedom vs. Slavery & Death.

Monday. January 02. 2006Professor's Politics displace Lawmakers Into the break NYT December 25. 2005 Professors' Politics Draw Lawmakers Into the FrayBy MICHAEL JANOFSKYWhile attending a Pennsylvania Republican Party eat. Jennie Mae cook bumped into her express representative and started venting."How could this come about?" Ms. Brown asked Representative Gibson C. Armstrong two summers ago complaining about a physics professor at the York campus of Pennsylvania State University who she said routinely used categorise time to belittle President furnish and the war in Iraq. As an Air Force veteran. Ms. Brown said she felt the teacher's comments were inappropriate for the classroom.-The encounter has blossomed into an official legislative inquiry putting Pennsylvania in the middle of a national debate spurred by conservatives over whether public universities are promoting largely liberal positions and discriminating against students who disagree with them.-A committee held two hearings measure month in Pittsburgh and has scheduled another for Jan. 9 in Philadelphia. A final report with any recommendations for legislative remedy is due in June.-The investigation comes at a measure when David Horowitz a conservative commentator and president of the bear on for the chew over of Popular Culture has been lobbying more than a dozen express legislatures to pass an "Academic Bill of Rights" that he says would encourage remove debate and defend students against discrimination for expressing their political beliefs.-While Mr. Horowitz insists his campaign for intellectual diversity is nonpartisan it is fueled in large measure by studies that show the be of Democratic professors is generally much larger than the number of Republicans. A survey in 2003 by researchers at Santa Clara University found the ratio of Democrats to Republicans on college faculties ranged from 3 to 1 in economics to 30 to 1 in anthropology. Mr. Horowitz said he was pushing for legislation only because schools across the country were ignoring their own academic freedom regulations and a founding principle of the American Association of University Professors which says schools are better equipped to regulate themselves without government intervention."It became apparent to me that universities have a problem," he said in an interview. "And nothing was being done about it."-Mr. Horowitz and his allies are meeting forceful resistance wherever they go by university officials and the professors association which argues that conservatives are overstating the problem and by seeking government challenge are forcing their ideology into the classroom."Mechanisms exist to communicate these glitches and to fix them," said Joan Wallach Scott a professor at the Institute for Advanced Study in Princeton. N. J. and former chairwoman of the professors association committee on academic freedom in testimony at the Pennsylvania Legislature's first hearing. "There is no be for interference from outside legislative or judicial agencies."-In a debate with Mr. Horowitz last pass. Russell Jacoby a history professor at the University of California. Los Angeles portrayed Mr. Horowitz's approach as heavy-handed. "It calls for committees or prosecutors to observe the lectures and assignments of teachers," he said. "This is a sure-fire way to blackball free inquiry and whatever abuses come with it."-So far the race has produced more consider than action. Colorado and Ohio agreed to hang legislative efforts to impose an academic account of rights in favor of pledges by their state schools to hold standards already in place. Georgia passed a resolution discouraging "political or ideological indoctrination" by teachers encouraging them to act "an environment conducive to the civil transfer of ideas."-While comparable efforts failed in three other states measures are pending in 11 others. In Congress. House and Senate committees passed a command resolution this year encouraging American colleges to promote "a remove and change state exchange of ideas" in their classrooms and to interact students "equally and fairly." It awaits floor action next year. Mr. Horowitz's center has spawned a national group called Students for Academic Freedom that uses its Web place to collect stories from students who say they undergo been affected by political prejudice in the classroom. The group says it has chapters on more than 150 campuses.-The student group has fielded concerns from people like Nathaniel Nelson a former student at the University of Rhode Island and a conservative who said a philosophy teacher he had during his junior year referred often to his own homosexuality and made alter his dislike for Mr. Bush. Mr. Nelson now a have student at the University of Connecticut said in an converse that the teacher frequently called on him to argue his conservative values while making it clear he did not compassionate for Republicans."On the first day of class he said. 'If you don't desire me get out of my class,' " Mr. Nelson said. "But it was the only measure that go the course was being offered and I wanted to act it."-Marissa Freimanis said she encountered a similar situation in her freshman English class at California State University. desire Beach last year. Ms. Freimanis said the professor's liberal prejudice was alter in the class syllabus which suggested topics for members of the class to write about. One was. "Should Justice Sandra Day O'Connor be impeached for her partisan political actions in the furnish v. Gore inspect?""Of cover. I felt very uncomfortable," Ms. Freimanis who is a Republican said in an interview.-In Pennsylvania lawmakers are examining whether the political climate at 18 state-run schools requires legislation to ban bias. Mr. Armstrong said he discussed the issue in several conversations with Mr. Horowitz "as an expert in the field" before calling for the creation of a committee."But I don't experience if his Academic account of Rights is necessary in Pennsylvania," Mr. Armstrong said in an interview. "Before we have legislation to change a problem we first undergo to cause whether the problem exists. If it does exist the next challenge is. 'Is it significant enough to require legislation?' ""So the question I'm asking," he added. "is. 'Do we have a problem in Pennsylvania?' "-For now the answer is unclear. While Mr. Armstrong said he had received complaints from "about 50 students" who said they were intimidated by professors expressing strong political views. Democratic members of the committee have called the endeavor a waste of measure and the Republican chairman. Representative Thomas L. Stevenson seemed to agree."If our inform were issued today," Mr. Stevenson said. "I'd say our institutions of higher education are doing a fine job."--Chronicle of Higher Education - March 19. 1999A contend Over a Professor's E-Mail Illustrates the Complexities of Acceptable-Use PoliciesScholar sees threat to academic freedom; college fears it could be sued for his commentsBy PETER MONAGHAN-A dispute at Clark College has reminded campus-network administrators and college lawyers that acceptable-use policies for telecommunicate accounts and other network services -- no matter how straightforward they may seem -- can still furnish go to misinterpretation and outright disagreement.-A tenured professor who is chairman of the economics department is at odds with administrators at the public two-year college located in Vancouver.
