Qaradawi On Doha Interfaith Conference: Keep Jews Out!

Rad­i­cal Mus­lim Broth­er­hood cleric Yusuf al-Qaradawi derided the 10th annual Doha inter­faith con­fer­ence held in Qatar last week for includ­ing Jews.qaradawi-doha

Dur­ing his April 26 Fri­day ser­mon at the Omar Bin al-Khattab Mosque in Doha, Qaradawi said he decided to boy­cott the con­fer­ence because he can­not dia­logue with Jews. “…I can­not be with [sic] a con­fer­ence that includes the oppres­sor Jews,” Qaradawi said.

No way I will put my hand in their hands,” Qaradawi added. “Their hands are soiled with blood. Their hands are the hands of killing, the hands of tyranny and the hands of injus­tice. I can­not con­t­a­m­i­nate my hands by putting it in their hands.”

Qaradawi ini­tially announced his inten­tion to boy­cott the con­fer­ence in an inter­view with the Qatari daily news­pa­per Al-Arab on April 22. “I decided to not par­tic­i­pate, so that I would not sit with the Jews on one plat­form… the Jews are usurp­ing Pales­tine and al-Aqsa Mosque and destroy­ing the houses of God…” Qaradawi told Al-Arab reporter.

In the same inter­view, Qaradawi crit­i­cized all efforts to have a dia­logue with other reli­gious groups, claim­ing they are useless.

Qaradawi pre­vi­ously declined to par­tic­i­pate in the 8th annual Doha con­fer­ence in 2011. In a state­ment released by Qaradawi’s office at that time, he report­edly said, “How can we con­duct a dia­logue in a time when they seize lands, shed blood, burn farms, and demol­ish houses? Palestine’s conun­drum has to be resolved first before we sit together at the same table.”

Qaradawi, who heads The Inter­na­tional Union of Mus­lim Schol­ars, has gar­nered world­wide appeal through a wide net­work of asso­ci­a­tions and by mak­ing use of var­i­ous media out­lets. Through his speeches and writ­ings, Qaradawi has demon­strated con­sis­tent sup­port of ter­ror­ist groups that seek to under­mine a peace­ful res­o­lu­tion of the Palestinian-Israeli conflict.

New Black Panther Party Returns From Africa With New Goals And Same Message

The New Black Pan­ther Party(NBPP), the largest orga­nized anti-Semitic and racist black mil­i­tant group in Amer­ica, has announced plans to expand its inter­na­tional activ­ity and out­reach after a del­e­ga­tion of its lead­ers returned from a March trip to South Africa and Zimbabwe.

Malik Zulu Shabazz and New Black Pan­ther Party in Africa

In the group’s online radio broad­casts on Black Power Radio in April, the NBPP lead­er­ship dis­cussed the trip and their plans to increase mem­ber­ship through addi­tional out­reach in South Amer­ica, the Caribbean, Canada and the rest of Africa.

In South Africa, the del­e­ga­tion met with mem­bers of the Pan-Africanist Con­gress of Aza­nia, a minor pan-African polit­i­cal party, and in Zim­babwe they met with Pres­i­dent Robert Mugabe’s cab­i­net (Mugabe did not attend the meet­ing). NBPP National Chair­man Malik Zulu Shabazz later made his sup­port for the Zim­bab­wean dic­ta­tor clear, offer­ing to have a web­cast up on the NBPP web­site “within 60 days” in sup­port of Mugabe in the upcom­ing elec­tions. He also hopes to have the web­cast shown on the Nation of Islam (NOI)’s website.

Shabazz also said that over 200 Black orga­ni­za­tions from around the world will con­vene in South Africa for a con­fer­ence focus­ing on pan-Africanism on June 16, 2014, the anniver­sary of the Soweto Stu­dent Upris­ing that took place on the same day in 1976. Shabazz explained that Africa should be as cen­tral to African-Americans as “Israel is to the so-called Jew and all over the so-called Jew­ish Diaspora.”

Mem­ber­ship reports on the recent trip to Africa on Black Power Radio have fre­quently devolved into hate­ful rhetoric against whites, Jews, and other groups. National Spokesman Chawn Kweli referred to the NYPD as the “Jew York Police Depart­ment” and to the “Zionist-Jewish con­trolled media out­lets.” National Field Mar­shal King Samir Shabazz, prone to often vio­lent racist rants, called on NBPP mem­bers to shine their boots and press their uni­forms, adding that the “crease should be able to cut that cracker’s throat in half and watch his head roll down the street.”

Samir Shabazz also called on Black Mus­lims to make their Hajj to Africa instead of to Mecca. “I hate to say this but Mecca is not my home. I’m a Mus­lim but…I can’t see myself walk­ing around no black stone with those God­damn crack­ers any­way.” Instead of par­tic­i­pat­ing in the rit­ual act of throw­ing stones dur­ing the pil­grim­age to Mecca with “smelly Arabs and crack­ers,” he indi­cated that he would rather go to Africa and “throw some stones at six white peck­er­woods.” Samir Shabazz also went on a homo­pho­bic rant, express­ing dis­may at see­ing same-sex cou­ples in Africa.  He said that it “blew his mind” since he didn’t know that “the white man got Africans fag­gin’ and sag­gin’ like they do in America.”

Louis Farrakhan’s 52 Weeks Of Hate

Update: In part 19 of Farrakhan’s lec­ture series, he char­ac­ter­izes the Jew­ish peo­ple as “Satanic” and instructs his lis­ten­ers to look for a hid­den Star of David on the back of the one-dollar bill.

Louis Farrakhan’s lat­est lec­ture series, launched in Jan­u­ary 2013, enables the Nation of Islam (NOI) leader to reach online audi­ences with his unique brand of racist and anti-Semitic con­spir­acy the­o­ries. While Far­rakhan con­tin­ues to pro­motes his hatred at large NOI events such as Sav­iours’ Day, the lec­ture series, titled “The Time and What Must Be Done,” is broad­cast online in weekly installments.

Far­rakhan has thus far pri­mar­ily focused the series on the impor­tance of NOI’s teach­ings as they con­tinue to be revealed to him, but he also spends a sig­nif­i­cant por­tion of each lec­ture proph­esy­ing the immi­nent down­fall of the United States and advis­ing Amer­ica to heed his warn­ings or face divine pun­ish­ment through severe weather, nat­ural dis­as­ters, and world wars. Addi­tion­ally, through­out the lec­ture series, Far­rakhan reit­er­ates his long-standing anti-Semitic ideology.

For exam­ple, Far­rakhan invokes anti-Semitic the­o­ries of Jew­ish con­trol over the Amer­i­can gov­ern­ment and dis­pro­por­tion­ate Jew­ish wealth and influ­ence in a recent install­ment on March 30 (part 12 of the series). In this lec­ture, he claims that “nobody becomes Pres­i­dent of the United States with­out going before Israel or AIPAC and promis­ing the Zion­ists every­thing that you think will allow you access to their wealth, their influ­ence, and their power.”

In part 11, Far­rakhan rants about Hol­ly­wood, which he describes as “know[ing] the Torah.” This descrip­tion is con­sis­tent with past state­ments Far­rakhan has made about Hol­ly­wood sup­pos­edly being con­trolled by Jews. He explains, “You are pro­mot­ing that which is against the will of God and you’re doing it pur­posely.” He then elab­o­rates on his belief that the “King­dom of God” will be taken from the Jews and given to “the Black man.” He cites this as the rea­son for Jews allegedly using their con­trol of Hol­ly­wood and other media to encour­age sin­ful behav­ior in the Black community:

You hate the fact that our rule is going to come whether you like it or not…You know this, so you want to feed us all the filth that we can eat, all the debauch­ery we can stand, so you are now bring­ing the pri­vacy of sex into pub­lic view in your movies, in your mag­a­zines, in your news­pa­pers. It’s all about sex….you are pro­mot­ing that which is against the com­mand­ments of God.”

Far­rakhan also makes con­spir­a­to­r­ial state­ments about what he per­ceives as Jew­ish con­trol of Hol­ly­wood in part 3. While not explic­itly men­tion­ing Jews, he claims that “those that own Hol­ly­wood” are writ­ing plots to encour­age a race war in Amer­ica, get­ting Black char­ac­ters to kill white char­ac­ters in movies “so that white peo­ple in Amer­ica who have these guns will start prepar­ing their minds for a race war.”

In part 9, Far­rakhan describes the Tal­mud as “part of the tricks and lies” used by Jews to “mas­ter the orig­i­nal peo­ple with that sys­tem of tricks and lies and unright­eous­ness.” He then claims that such state­ments are not anti-Semitism but rather truth, a truth that “exposes the lie, the liar, the deceit­ful one.”

Far­rakhan fre­quently dis­cusses race in the lec­ture series as well, call­ing on Amer­ica to give “mil­lions of acres of land” to Blacks so there can be “sep­a­ra­tion” between Blacks and whites. In part 4 he warns, “You’ll see the end [of the white race] by 2050. Sep­a­ra­tion will save you. Sep­a­ra­tion will give you more time as a white per­son on this earth.” In the same lec­ture, he accuses the Amer­i­can gov­ern­ment of hatch­ing a plan to kill “two to three bil­lion peo­ple on our planet,” ask­ing “Could this be why, in Africa, AIDS is slaugh­ter­ing black men and women, par­tic­u­larly in those areas where the min­eral resources of that area is nec­es­sary to keep Amer­i­can in power in this 21st cen­tury?” He then claims that the “same geno­ci­dal thought” of whites towards Blacks “will be against the Mex­i­cans and oth­ers as well.”
