Bart Ehrman explains during a debate, why his criticism of the historicity of the claim of Jesus’ resurrection is more than valid and qualified. That being, in opposition to the biased Christian view of already believing and trying to then qualify their belief. A short, but interesting and intellectually stimulating clip:

A Challenge to Christians

The  latest mantra of our Missionary Christians friends, of which they have taken much pride in stating, is the following:

 The Qur’an is the most violent book in history!

That’s a very distasteful statement, not only does it generalize the Qur’an, it’s also quite hypocritical and dishonest. You see, the Bible has much more violent passages (as it is a generally larger book as well) than the Qur’an and it’s indeed, much more graphic. However, in response to our missionary friends, I offer one passage. It is with this passage, that I challenge any Christian to find an equitable passage or greater (in severity) in the Qur’an:

However, in the cities of the nations the Lord your God is giving you as an inheritance, do not leave alive anything that breathes. – Deuteronomy 20:16.

The challenge is therefore, quite simple. If the Qur’an contains a passage on equal footing with Deuteronomy 20:16, or worse, let me know! Otherwise, our Christian friends would have no choice but to concede that their book is the most violent.

Shaykh Muhammad al Yaqoubi’s Challenge to Terry Jones

بِسۡمِ ٱللهِ ٱلرَّحۡمَـٰنِ ٱلرَّحِيمِ ,

Sayyidi, Shaykh Muhammad Abul Huda al Yaqoubi al Hassani from Damascus in Syria, has moments ago released a public challenge to Pastor Terry Jones about Sayyidina Muhammad [saw]!

 

You can read the challenge here, via the Shaykh’s official Facebook account, or if you are Terry Jones (or a member of his Islamophobic organization), feel free to let the Shaykh know of your response via his website, ‘Sacred Knowledge‘. This is not a challenge by any da’ee, or any young Imam, this is a fully acknowledged, international heavyweight in the deen of Islam. I am certain that Terry Jones will never respond to his challenge. You can read a full biography of the Shaykh here, or an excerpt below:

He is an authority in the science of Hadith; his asanid (chains of transmission) are of the highest amongst scholars of our time. Students and scholars visit him in Syria or when he travels, to hear the masalsalat and take ijaza in narration of Hadith. In his efforts to revive the tradition of Hadith recitals, he has taught al-Muwatta of Imam Malik, Sahih al-Bukhari, Sahih al-Muslim, Sunan Abi Dawud, Jami’ al-Tirmidhi and he intends to finish all the main six books of Hadith in the coming terms insha’Allah.

He has travelled extensively and participated in conferences, delivered lectures and taught intensive programmes. Additionally, he has delivered Friday speeches in Lebanon, Egypt, Jordan, Kuwait, Saudi Arabia, Algeria, Pakistan, Denmark, Finland, Sweden, Norway, Switzerland, Germany, France, Spain, Canada, the United States, Indonesia, Singapore, South Africa, Morocco and the UK. Over a thousand people have embraced Islam at his hands and many have repented after listening to him. He is a scion of the prophetic household, a torch bearer in this time and a charismatic public speaker in both Arabic and English.

Anti-Islam Movie Continues to be Shrouded in Mystery

Posted on by Leave a comment

Bismillahir Rahmanir Raheem
بِسۡمِ ٱللهِ ٱلرَّحۡمَـٰنِ ٱلرَّحِيمِ ,

The origins of the 13 minute ‘film’, continues to be shrouded in a great deal of mystery. From what we’ve established thus far,  is that Sam Bacile is a false name with a false identity, as seen on various news websites. See CBS News’, The Atlantic News’ and Entertainment Weekly’s latest reports on the newest developments. However, the most striking news thus far is the deceit employed by the Coptic Christian director, as reported via Gawker:

Cindy Lee Garcia, an actress from Bakersfield, Calif., has a small role in the Muhammed movie as a woman whose young daughter is given to Muhammed to marry. But in a phone interview this afternoon, Garcia told us she had no idea she was participating in an offensive spoof on the life of Muhammed when she answered a casting call through an agency last summer and got the part.

The script she was given was titled simply Desert Warriors.

“It was going to be a film based on how things were 2,000 years ago,” Garcia said. “It wasn’t based on anything to do with religion, it was just on how things were run in Egypt. There wasn’t anything about Muhammed or Muslims or anything.”

In the script and during the shooting, nothing indicated the controversial nature of the final product, now called Muslim Innocence. Muhammed wasn’t even called Muhammed; he was “Master George,” Garcia said. The words Muhammed were dubbed over in post-production, as were essentially all other offensive references to Islam and Muhammed.

What’s also quite noticable to those of us who have watched the 13 minute ‘movie’, are the obvious dubbing of the names as reported  by ON THE MEDIA:

If you watch closely, you can see that when the actors are reading parts of the script that do not contain Islam-specific language, the audio from the sound stage is used (the audio that was recorded as the actors were simultaneously being filmed). But anytime the actors are referring to something specific to the religion (the Prophet Muhammed, the Quran, etc.) the audio recorded during filming is replaced with a poorly executed post-production dub. And if you look EVEN closer, you can see that the actors’ mouths are saying something other than what the dub is saying.

BUZZFEED’s Rosie Grey, has also noticed some peculiarities about the video itself:

As the video above — cut from the YouTube video tied to a global controversy — shows, nearly all of the names in the movie’s “trailer” — is a compilation of the most clumsily overdubbed moments from what is in reality an incoherent, haphazardly-edited set of scenes. Among the overdubbed words is “Mohammed,” suggesting that the footage was taken from a film about something else entirely. The footage also suggests multiple video sources — there are obvious and jarring discrepancies among actors and locations… whoever made (it) may well have made use of little more than the standard editing software Final Cut Pro — far from a cast and crew of over 100 and millions of dollars.

It’ll also be quite informative to read the Christian Science Monitor’s article on this issue as well. The only information we can be certain of thus far is of Morris Sadek’s involvement. Anything beyond that, inclusive of the director, producer, funding, origins are all a mystery. Stay tuned as more information continues to be produced in what is probably one of the single most odd events of the 21st century.

Morris Sadek: Missing in Action

بِسۡمِ ٱللهِ ٱلرَّحۡمَـٰنِ ٱلرَّحِيمِ ,

After breaking the news about Morris Sadek’s perverted videos earlier today, following the tragic attacks on the American envoy in Libya, it seems as if our efforts have paid off. Morris still had his Facebook page, other Facebook alias “Haqiqa” and his Facebook group (with insulting images) operational as of this morning (12/09/2012), however a routine check later todaytoday surprised us as it seems Morris has now retracted on his ‘brazen attack against Islam‘. Meaning then, his page for the most part, has gone off line:

Even though Morris has demonized Islam, mocked Islam, cursed Islam and worked on a $5 Million dollar film (of 13 minutes long) to abuse Islam, we still pray and hope for his safety. We understand that via his group on Facebook he has been promoting these anti-Islamic ideas for a number of years, he touts himself as a ‘defender of human rights’. It seems today his luck has run out and his insults took on more weight than he expected. Whatever the case may be, after posting his Facebook details and contact information (via Youtube), his page now seems to be offline, although his other account “Haqiqqa” is still active! All journalists who would like to contact him, may do so until he pulls that one offline as well!

The Muslim Response to Libyan Deaths About Anti-Islamic Video

Posted on by Leave a comment

Bismillahir Rahmanir Raheem
بِسۡمِ ٱللهِ ٱلرَّحۡمَـٰنِ ٱلرَّحِيمِ ,

Shaykh Yasir Qadhi had this to say via his Facebook Page:

Clerics and leaders who instigate Muslims to ‘defend the honor of the Prophet (saw)’ by attacking people who have nothing to do with insulting his honor, actually disrespect the memory of our Prophet (saw).

Yes, the movie was disgusting, but I’m sure the happiest person today is the person who made it, because his goal of smearing the Muslims has succeeded.

For how long will we tolerate such stupidity?

I strong encourage everyone to read what Ustadh Abu Eesa has written about this:
http://www.1stethical.com/2012/09/12/forget-about-not-in-my-name-but-think-of-your-own-name/

Ustadh Abu Eesa’s article can be read here, although you can still read what he had to say below:

Although contrary to popular belief, it isn’t through some incredible display of patience, forgiveness or even ambivalence that the majority of us in the West don’t respond with anger to inflammatory and abusive attacks via media/video/cartoons/whatever upon the Prophet Muhammad (upon whom be peace).

It’s actually because we just don’t find out about these things (I spend half my day reading about news and topical issues and I never heard a whisper about any video) due to the fact that they are often the work of a tiny number of sick bigots who most people utterly ignore. And why wouldn’t we ignore them? We’re talking about comparing mighty Prophets and irritating bugs. “The mountains are never shaken by the wind,” especially when it comes out of the backsides of such racist, xenophobic individuals. That was, until, you turn on the news channels to see Muslims in their own countries perhaps not feeling the same way about their own “mountains” of faith and belief, which seem to be rocked to the core every time a non-Muslim opens his or her mouth.

The Prophets of God particularly Muhammad and Jesus (may peace be upon them) have always been under a continual barrage of attacks and insults from the beginning of them being sent to mankind, to especially such times as now where the world operates on new levels with respect to “free speech”. Such insults are part and parcel of the price we pay in living in such democracies, and no we’re not happy about it but we certainly cannot accept the outrageous actions of those who would respond with wanton violence and murder against those who are utterly innocent or indeed those who are living under the protection of the Muslims regardless of their own personal and political beliefs.

Let me be clear: I do not condemn the atrocities such as the murder of the American Ambassador to Libya so that it makes the lives of Muslims in the West that bit easier, and to avoid revenge attacks on us or because it is the politically correct thing to do. No, absolutely not.

I condemn it because the religion of Islam doesn’t allow such an action. Common sense and a call to revise sensibilities clearly have failed with such people. So we have to focus on the only thing that might speak out to them: their religion. These militiamen have not just insulted themselves, but they’ve insulted their Prophet, the same Prophet who stated authentically and unequivocally,“Whoever kills a person who is granted protection by the Muslims shall not smell the fragrance of Paradise even though its fragrance can be smelt from a distance of forty years of travelling.”

In another narration the Prophet Muhammad (upon whom be peace) authentically stated that the Muslim who killed such a person had “betrayed God’s covenant” i.e. that he had broken his covenant and committed treason.

Let there be no doubt whatsoever in any Muslim’s mind: a non-Muslim entering upon a visa is under the protection of the Muslims, by Islamic law, by state law, and by international law. Indeed even a person residing under the country without a visa and simply believing that he is as protected as any other citizen would be, is under that same legal protection. And as for a member of a diplomatic corps? These individuals are afforded the very highest level of protection, security and guarantee from the Muslims. An attack on such embassy and diplomatic staff is completely and utterly prohibited.

It is embarrassing for me to have to write such a childishly obvious statement when it comes to murder but these are the times we live in. It is even more unbelievable that any practising Muslimshould not reflect on this before they act on their anger. Yet with the amount of ignorance we see these days from “practising” Muslims, we are sadly no longer shocked to read the sad headlines as we are seeing today of more destruction, murder and chaos all on Islam’s tab.

Forget the PR reasons. Forget the PC reasons. Forget common sense. Forget the fact that Muslims are now seen internationally to be as pathetic as the ignorant racist bigots who initiate such situations – actually, more pathetic. Forget the fact that the Muslims live 2nd rate lives in their own countries. Forget the other priorities.

Just don’t forget this: these responses of violence and chaos have nothing to do with Islam and for that, shame upon you for trying to claim it as such. May God forgive you. To any non-Muslims reading this, please forgive us for the actions of the murderers for they indeed know not.

Similar sentiments have been expressed by Br. Ibn Percy in his article here.Please share this article with your friends, whether Muslim or non-Muslim to demonstrate that we as Muslims wholly condemn the murder of any innocent persons and such actions are far removed from the religion of Islam. Today a demonstration in Libya was held against the killings:

[UPDATED: x4]: New information from various news sources seem to indicate that Sam’s identity is most likely fraudulent. Why someone would be making such crazy accusations on such an internationally sensitive issue is beyond me. See CBS News’, The Atlantic News’ and Entertainment Weekly’s latest reports on the newest developments.

[UPDATED: x3]: Sam Bacile continues to be pin pointed as the main culprit behind sparking the violence, see NBC News. Egypt’s government has aimed to take legal action against the film, see Reuters. Afghanistan has banned Youtube, temporarily because the film is now being downloaded and uploaded back to the website, see The Australian News. The Global Post has an insightful article, documenting the condemnation of the attacks by the Libyan and Egyptian people, the attacks are being blamed on a fringe of extremist groups.

[UPDATED]: Various scholars, lecturers and Islamic personalities have come out in condemnation of the killings and violent protests. You can read their statements here.

Following our report on Morris Sadek (located here) and our call to action for the video to be removed (located here), new information has arisen that Sam Bacile, an Israeli – American colluded with Morris Sadek to have the video made. The report from the Huffington Post states:

Speaking by phone Tuesday from an undisclosed location, writer and director Sam Bacile remained defiant, saying Islam is a cancer and that the 56-year-old intended his film to be a provocative political statement condemning the religion.

“This is a political movie,” said Bacile. “The U.S. lost a lot of money and a lot of people in wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, but we’re fighting with ideas.”

Bacile, a California real estate developer who identifies himself as an Israeli Jew, said he believes the movie will help his native land by exposing Islam’s flaws to the world.

“Islam is a cancer, period,” he said repeatedly, his solemn voice thickly accented.

The two-hour movie, “Innocence of Muslims,” cost $5 million to make and was financed with the help of more than 100 Jewish donors, said Bacile, who wrote and directed it.

You can read the full article on Sam Bacile, the anti-Muslim, American Jew, here. The video is still up on his channel and can be reported by following these steps for removal:

1. Click this link to report the page.

2. Follow step 2 from our earlier tutorial.

Riots Over Video About Muhammad [saws]

بِسۡمِ ٱللهِ ٱلرَّحۡمَـٰنِ ٱلرَّحِيمِ ,

The man in this photo is Morris Sadek, you can visit his personal Facebook profile here. He’s been making the news (see here) for a recent video in which it is said:

The video, clips of which are online, shows a portrayal of the prophet having sex and calling for massacres, the AP reported.

Protests have broken out in Egypt and Libya, I expect further protests worldwide as well. We may see Afghanistan and Pakistan erupt in protests as is what occurred when Terry Jones attacked the Qur’an. I want you to look at the photo of this uneducated coward and remember it. He hides behind his computer and produces videos insulting Muhammad [saws], in several of his poorly produced videos, he portrays the mercy of mankind as an uneducated caveman! News of his videos seems to have only come about recently as other videos, with far worse hate propaganda seem to go back atleast a year. So desperate was this man to insult Muhammad [saws] that he even became allies with hate Pastor, Terry Jones:

 

So horrible are his videos that even the Coptic Church has condemned them:

An Egyptian state website carried a statement by Egypt’s Coptic Orthodox church condemning what it said were moves by some Christian Copts living abroad “to finance the production of a film insulting Prophet Mohammad.”

Medhat Klada, a representative of Coptic Christian organizations in Europe, said Sadek’s views are not representative of expatriate Copts.

“He is an extremist … We don’t go down this road. He has incited the people (in Egypt) against Copts,” he said, speaking from Switzerland. “We refuse any attacks on religions because of a moral position.”

This is the state of Christianity today, they have to stoop low, they cannot engage in dialogue any longer. All they know to do now is hate Islam and Muslims and this is a product of their archaic, barbaric ideology. He also happens to run a Facebook group which contains cartoons of bearded men having intercourse with goats and other animals. There were many other pictures with insults to Islam, calls to fight Muslims and other forms of hate speech and propaganda. We hope that justice is served and that the videos are removed.

9/11: 11 Years Later

Posted on by Leave a comment

Bismillahir Rahmanir Raheem
بِسۡمِ ٱللهِ ٱلرَّحۡمَـٰنِ ٱلرَّحِيمِ ,

Note: This is an opinion piece by Br. Ijaz Ahmad and is not intended to represent the views of Calling Christians.

Today marks eleven years since the 9/11 terror attacks and what a turbulent eleven years its been. Before we get into the heat of things, I’d like to say that the 9/11 terror attacks was an attack on persons of all creeds, races and religions. The WTC had no specific religion, or race, the compounds attacked contained a plethora of persons, including Muslims. This attack should not be labelled, an American tragedy, a Christian tragedy, a Republican tragedy, but it should be labelled as a global tragedy. The whole world to this day, continues to feel the ramifications, the consequences of that ghastly event. Of the 2, 753 victims, let’s remind our right wing friends of the Muslims who also perished on that day:

Many seem to think that this was an attack by the Muslim world on the Western world, more so on America. The problem is that whether you believe that 19 Muslim men could orchestrate such a sophisticated attack despite the FBI and CIA, both knowing and tracking such persons, is beside the point. Or the fact that the 9/11 commission was fixed and great amounts of information was not taken into consideration, but ignored and discarded, thus creating the wrong conclusion as indicated by Senator John Farmer, see – [1], [2], is also not the crux of the issue. The real problem rests on blaming more than 1 Billion persons for the acts of 19 men. The American government has made this mistake before, directly after the Pearl Harbour attack (of which controversy also surrounds, see [1], [2], [3]), Japanese citizens were rounded up and placed in concentration camps, see – [1], [2], [3]. Yet, what did those Japanese citizens ever do to be put in concentration camps? The Nazis were clearly not the only ones who thought that camps were needed. So vindictive was the American government that they even bombed civilian populations to the extent that there were 275, 000 causalities (deaths and injuries, see [1]). This pattern has re-emerged with devastating effects. As a cause of 9/11, the American government has since contributed to or directly caused the following:

  • An illegal invasion and occupation of Afghanistan, see –  [1], [2], [3].
  • An illegal invasion and occupation of Iraq, see – [1], [2], [3], [4].
  • Initiated a proxy war by drones in Pakistan, see – [1], [2], [3], [4], [5].
  • Initiated a proxy war by drones in Afghanistan, see [1], [2], [3].
  • Bombed civilian populations in Afghanistan, see [1], [2], [3], [4].
  • Bombed civilian populations in Iraq, see – [1], [2], [3], [4].
  • Bombed civilian populations in Pakistan , see – [1], [2], [3].
  • Bombed civilian populations in Libya, see – [1], [2], [3], [4].
  • Armed unstable non-FSA rebels in Syria, see – [1], [2], [3], [4].
  • Provided military aid which resulted in the siege of Gaza, see – [1], [2], [3], [4].
  • Provided military aid which resulted in the murder of 1, 600 Palestinians, see – [1], [2], [3], [4].
  • Provided military aid which resulted in the Georgia – Russian war, see – [1], [2], [3], [4].
  • Enabled the Patriot Act to spy on citizens, see – [1], [2], [3], [4].
  • Illegally detained and tortured persons without any reason, see – [1], [2], [3], [4].
  • Waterboarded unarmed civilians, see – [1], [2], [3], [4].
  • Kidnapped unarmed civilians, see – [1], [2], [3], [4].
  • Murdered US citizens (a Father and Son), see – [1], [2], [3], [4].
  • Provided Hosni Mubarak with aid, used against his own populace, see – [1], [2], [3], [4].
  • Contracted mass murder squads in Iraq, see – [1], [2], [3], [4].
  • Contracted mass murder squads in Pakistan, see – [1], [2], [3], [4].
  • Illegally murdered Saddam Hussein, see – [1], [2], [3], [4].
  • Attempted to control the internet via SOPA and PIPA, see – [1], [2], [3], [4].
  • Sunk into $16.02 Trillion Dollars in National Debt, see – [1], [2], [3].
  • Almost defaulted the American economy, see – [1], [2], [3].
  • Greatest financial crisis since the Great Depression, see – [1], [2], [3].
  • Installed puppet leaders in Afghanistan who embezzled millions, if not billions, see – [1], [2], [3], [4].
  • Installed puppet leaders in Iraq who embezzled millions, if not billions, see – [1], [2], [3], [4].

Just as how the Japanese were stigmatized for something they themselves had not done, so are Muslims in America being targeted – see [1], [2], [3], [4], [5]. The stigma even extends to children, see – [1] and Sikhs (because they wear turbans as Muslims do), see – [1]. Suddenly building a Masjid (the Muslim place of worship) is seen as a threat, see – [1], [2], although the threat’s non-existent, see – [1]. Being a Muslim politician is suddenly wrong, see – [1], and speaking out against governmental abuse gets you detained, see – [1]. Millions have died in Iraq and Afghanistan, see – [1], due to Bush’s ‘Crusade’, see – [1], even troops were supplied with Bible verses on their guns, see – [1], Bibles were even handed out by troops, see – [1]. Is this a war on terror or a war of terror? How can you continue to kill millions of Muslims in revenge for something they did not do? It’s time to wake up and understand, this isn’t a war on terrorism but a war on freedom. Whether you’re American, Arab or otherwise, we must not let the acts of a few irrational hegemonic politicians deter us from attempting to build bonds and heal. I say enough is enough, too much blood has been spilt, terrorists may have done one 9/11, but American/ NATO troops have mimicked and multiplied that figure far beyond our wildest fears.

wa Allaahu Alam,
and Allaah knows best.
