Al-Qaida’s ‘Standards Of Friendship And Enmity In Islam’ Spells Out Jihad Against The West

October 1, 2013 by Ben Bullard

The Middle East Media Research Institute (MEMRI) has made public a translation of a recent al-Qaida broadcast in which a militant Pakistani cleric spells out who the enemies of Islam are — and how faithful Muslims should treat them.
It’s a translation of a lecture entitled “Standards of Friendship and Enmity in Islam” delivered by an Urdu-speaking cleric named Abdul Samad. Samad uses scripture and hadiths to cement the point that Muslims have no business associating with infidels, and that they should wage jihad against anything that isn’t Islamic to its very core until the world is populated only by Muslims.

i) The most powerful and binding relation is Islam.

ii) The believers, who do not disassociate themselves from nonbelievers and do not distinguish their ranks from people who have interest in worldly things, can never serve Islam effectively.

iii) Our friendship and enmity should only be for Allah’s cause.

iv) Our friendship, relationship and love should only be with the people who believe in Islam and Allah as the ruler.

v) The people, who do not accept Allah as the ruler and do not believe in Islam are our enemy and we should disassociate ourselves from them even if they are our close relatives and from our tribe.

vi) The infidels, whether they are the Jews or Christians, atheists and polytheists, are the real infidels and are the enemies of Allah’s faith (Islam).

vii) The Koran has termed friendship with Kuffar (infidels) as a sign of disunity and unbelief, as it is associated with the foundations of belief.

viii) The people declared by Allah as our enemy can never be our friends.

ix) The non-believers are the enemies of our elderly people, women and children. They kill the Muslims with bombs either in Kashmir, Iraq, or Palestine. There is hardly a day when a Muslim escapes their cruelty.

x) They open several fronts (against Muslims) after entering a region. One of their fronts is education. They used it in the Egypt and Turkey; and they currently use it in Pakistan against the Muslims.

xi) Our enmity towards Hindus is not due to the Kashmir issue; our enmity towards America is not due to Iraq and Afghanistan; the enmity between us and the Jews is not due to the Palestine; the real cause is that they do not accept our system and Islam.

xii) Our enmity towards them (the non-believers) will continue even if they renounce all their crimes.

xiii) Enmity towards infidels is a must. It is part of our faith. Islam says the Muslims should stay away from the infidels and their countries.

xiv) The best way to get rid of them (infidels) is to continue jihad until the Allah’s faith (Islam) is completely enforced all over the world.

In theory, there is no reason why Christians, Muslims, pagans and everybody else must actively pursue the obliteration of other belief systems. Regardless of what the religious books tell Christians and Muslims to do or not do to each other, it is mankind who decides doctrine and who chooses whether to follow the religious texts closely or with a wide interpretive berth.

There are places in this world where Christians and Muslims have lived together in peace for centuries. But those places are becoming scarcer, because we are living in a time when the local and regional prestige of Islamists who wish for a literal enactment of the Quran on Earth is strong. And the appeal of religious absolutism is on the rise in those impoverished, destabilized parts of the world where the population — and fundamentalist Islam with it — is burgeoning.

The United States needs leaders who will be clear about the threat to free society that fundamental Islamists pose. The “Standards of Friendship and Enmity in Islam” shows that the Islamists intend to speak and act with conviction when it comes to interacting with the “infidel” world. President Barack Obama and his successors should drop America’s temerity over discriminating against Islam as a religion or abstraction and hew to a policy that shows America isn’t afraid to identify our very human enemies.

A religion is benign until evil men wield it to serve a political agenda. And that’s a battle that’s continually unfolding, with frightening outcome, in the restless Islamic world. “The Allah’s faith” cannot be “completely enforced all over the world” without politics, without theocracy. Fundamentalist Islam is a political problem for the rest of the world, and there can be no solution until Western leaders will embrace that plain truth with unwavering confidence.

Al-Qaida and other legalistic Islamist groups are growing. And in many regions, their brand of fundamentalism isn’t the isolated, wing-nut, fringe social influence that our liberal leaders would have us believe.

Al-Qaida is telling us how and why it’s taking the fight to the West. Should the liberal West, whose leaders have become so open-minded that their brains are falling out, not start listening?

Everything I know about Islam I learned on 9/11!!

Gitzo Loc: Indiana

I knew quite a bit about it before 9-11-01; I read a lot, and I've read quite a bit about Islam.

Much of what I now know came about from a chance encounter with a fellow in Indianapolis about a year and a half or two years ago; I saw this guy in an outlet mall, and after "observing" him for a few minutes, I knew he must be a Muslim; so I went up and just asked him, "are you a Muslim"?

I have always been very curious about just about everything, but especially about things that I don't know very much about; I decided that the quickest way to learn about Islam, was to talk to someone who "embraced" it; this fellow not only "embraced it", he actually "ate it, lived it, and breathed it"! And he was quite willing to explain to me everything I was curious about, and to answer all of my questions; (and believe me, I can ask an awful lot of questions! )

Some of the things about Muslims and Islam I have been the most curious about, I asked him right in the beginning;

How do you make a living? what do you think about....( at least 500 different things)

What does your religion "teach you" that you must do, and must not do.

One of the things I have always been the most curious about, is why Muslims are "divided" into two different "factions", the so-called "Sunni", and the so-called "Shia"; I got a real surprise on that one! I quickly found that I actually knew more about that "argument" than he did!

After he had told me a lot about his family, his wife, how they lived, etc., etc., I asked him....."how do you feel about "gays" ? When he seemed a bit confused, I said, "you know, homosexuals"? I wish ALL gay people could have "seen" his "answer"! It wasn't verbal......he "answered" with what I'd call, a "gesture".....with his right forefinger from his left ear, across his throat to his right ear, then a "whisper"...."they must die"!

I think just about everyone on this forum realizes how I feel about "politics"; but there's a lot more to politics than just "who to vote for"; as I'm sure everyone knows by now, it has become quite "fashionable" among the liberals to "support" so-called "diversity"; different "life styles"; even in our grade schools, this huge push for "diversity" is teaching grade school children about, "Johnnie has two "mommies", and "Freddie has two "daddies"; and of course, "diversity always espouses "multi-culturalism"; right now, with liberals, "religion" per se is "out", and "different life-styles" AND "Islam" is "in";...big time ! For what ever reason, the gay community seems to see the Muslims as, "allies", or "kinderd spirits";

To anyone happening to read this who thinks "joining forces" with the Muslims in order to further you aims or "furthering YOUR cause, (multi-culturalism ), (or any other kind of
"ism" ),

Lot's of luck! I hope you do; because THEY see YOU, as just one more infidel who needs to be DEAD!

My "source" for this......a devout Muslim.

That is all you need to know.

I've heard a muslin will cheat or steal from a non-muslin in a heartbeat, even encouraged to, but absolutely not from their own.

I've tried to be respectful of others and their beliefs, but the more I am finding out about this religion--the less impressed I am of their faith. As Christians, we seem to be pretty tolerant of other beliefs but why are they so opposed, even violently intolerant of other sects of Islam, ( Sunnis, etc.)? I just don't understand this faith.

They don't even have to "infiltrate" any more; Obama is APPOINTING them! He has a whole gang of them in his "administration"!

Have you heard any mention of the murderous Boston bomber recently ? The Muslim who murdered a child, a young lady, and a young father who was a police officer ? Is he in Jail, or in prison? No....he's in a "hospital"....(much more "comfortable" than a prison); he will be where he is until the public "forgets" about his crimes! Do you think if this horrendous crime had been committed by, say, a "born here" American citizen, that he would still be in a "comfy" hospital?

daplight; The Muslim I talked to, (for 9 hours), was a Palestinian, but he had grown up in Syria; I asked him all manner of questions about that very thing; I asked him why the Sunni and the Shia are always murdering each other; he acted as if he was very "embarrassed".......because he didn't even know what I was talking about! when I asked him....."who is the "leader" at your Mosque, he said, "there is no "leader".....only Allah, and his "prophet", Muhammad ! So when I asked, "how does one get to be a "Mullah"......he acted bewildered! In other words.......anyone who spends a lot of time MEMORIZING the "Koran", and buys a nice white (what ever they call their "garb"), and can "attract" a following, can call himself the "Mullah".....(or just about anything else he wants to.) As far as I can tell, it's kinda like the old "school of minnows" example; usually, there is no real "leader"......everyone is "following" each other.

It's really all about what westerners call "charisma"; some people seem to "attract" other people! ( Kinda like Charley Manson ) No education, no morals, no anything......just the "ability" to induce "others" to follow.
