Cherry picking season



OUCH! That 'Dispatches' program is gonna leave a mark! Too bad you guys got all busted on your Islamic supremacism, hatred of Jews and Christians, and subjugation of women. That's a crying shame.

Surprise. Surprise. Remember that Muzzie expose on BBC4 and the Internet that put the lie to all the Muzzie, "we're the religion of peace stuff"?

Well, it really must have hit a nerve because the Imams are squawking.

In their press release they whimper:

"...portray Muslims in the worst possible light. ‘Dispatches’ has opted for sensationalism over substance with total disregard for peaceful community relations.” And not only that: “This so-called ‘undercover’ investigation merely panders to age-old anti-Muslim prejudices by employing the time-honoured tradition of cherry picking statements and presenting them in the most inflammatory manner.”

Heck. Let's employ that 'time-honoured tradition' and go cherry picking ourselves. Inflammatory? You make the call. The complete article is here at Front Page Magazine with Robert Spencer!

“Allah has created the woman – even if she gets a Ph.D. – deficient. Her intellect is incomplete, deficient. She may be suffering from hormones that will make her emotional. It takes two witnesses of a woman to equal the one witness of the man.”

“By the age of ten, it becomes an obligation on us to force her to wear hijab, and if she doesn’t wear hijab, we hit her.”

“Men are in charge of women. Wherever he goes she should follow him, and she shouldn’t be allowed leave the house without his permission.”

And then there are these little gems:

“You have to live like a state within a state until you take over.”

“We want the laws of Islam to be practiced, we want to do away with the man-made laws.”


“Muslims shouldn’t be satisfied with living in other than the total Islamic state.”

“I encourage all of you to be from amongst them, to begin to cultivate ourselves for the time that is fast approaching where the tables are going to turn and the Muslims are going to be in the position of being uppermost in strength, and when that happens, people won’t get killed – unjustly.”

“Allah has decreed this thing, that I am going to be dominant. The dominance of course is a political dominance.”


Oh, dear. Was that one too many Muslim cherry picked remarks to stomach? Can't do any more? Well, let me leave you with Robert's sobering observation.

"Muslims in Britain who sincerely reject the idea that Islam must be dominant and that Islamic law must be instituted in Britain, and that women and non-Muslims must be subjugated, and who accept the idea that non-Muslims and Muslims should live together as equals on an indefinite basis, should not condemn the “Dispatches” documentary. Instead, they should welcome it as a opportunity not only to expel “extremists” from their ranks, and to formulate a comprehensive rejection and refutation of their literalist understanding of the Qur’an and Sunnah.

But so far they are not doing that. Instead, the Muslim Council of Britain, the Muslim Public Affairs Committee of the United Kingdom, the Federation of Student Islamic Societies, and the UK Islamic Mission
have all denounced the program as “Islamophobic.” None have taken even a single step to combat the spread of the understanding of Islam depicted in the show, or to mitigate the elements of Islam that incite to violence and inculcate Islamic supremacism.

And that itself is very, very telling."

Yoo-hoo! Moderate Muslims! Where are you?
