Extremism in Islam - How do We Understand the War on Terror

For some reason there is a tendency to make any Muslim who pops his head up apologize for all the evil in the world before he is allowed to speak. This so called reverse discrimination racism blow back is causing some Muslims to tire of having to explain that they are not terrorists.

Download Gathering Storm - Ibn Misr.mp3

Here is a debate that aired where we have an example of a gentleman named Ibn Misr who believes that all Muslims are lost without a chance and there fore there is no way but total war on Islam.

I try to start the conversation on a positive note but the time goes on with nothing but attacks against Islam. In vain I try to suggest that it is only a hand full of extremist that incorrectly interpret the religion and cause a bad name for the overwhelming majority of Muslims around the world.

I sometimes wonder why we do so much to help promote the interpretation and views of extremists. The glorifying of Al-Qaeda by the western media as well as the continued framing of the issues as a Global War on Terror, causes the fight to look greater than it is.

Here is an excerpt from Ibn Misr website regarding this "conversation"!

“A trip in the mind of a “supposedly” moderate Americanized Muslim

Muslim don't miss a chance to say how proud they're to be Muslims, but they're ashamed to debate their Koran as if it was plagued ... I can't blame them ... It is plagued. Geert Wilders should call it  "the plague movie".

Sons of Apes and Pigs

Many people believe there is no point talking or dealing with the extreme right wing conservatives. Such as the esteemed folks at the Gathering Storm group, I disagree. Just as I believe you might not always get your point across but at least you made the attempt.

POP-Culture Monday where we will discuss ASSASSIN’S CREED.

To become a true Assassin you must "Follow the Creed".

All of us watched as a political leader was assassinated last week in Pakistan. The assassination of Benazir Bhutto is being discussed by analysts and the general public alike all over the world.

We hear the term assassin so often in the War on Terror that it has become common place. In the new accepted view of how wars are to be fought, is the assassination of political targets a viable just cause. Where does Islam stand on assassination?

Microsoft XBOX 360 and Playstation fans have been enjoying a new game called Assassin's Creed. The game reveals the story of Al-Tair and his missions as an assassin during the time of the Christian crusades.

If you are a fan of the game or interested in the history of the Hashashin, then call into the show and share your thoughts!

To become a true Assassin you must Follow the Creed.

Take a Leap of Faith as we Talk about Islam.

 

“Nothing is true,

Everything is permitted”

Listen to the Show

After Midnight With Rick Barber (PODCAST)
Many people are asking how we handle the War on Terror in Pakistan after the assassination of Benazir Bhutto.

The west looked like they were about to support Bhutto in full swing. All respect of Pervez Musharraf the former ally in the War on Terror was gone. With THE General declaring de facto Marshall Law in the last few months it was hard to show sympathy for his cause anymore.

Who is our "Ally" in Pakistan currently. Was it the girl that we came to the dance with?

After 9/11 we forced Musharraf to be our Ally. He accepted !

He did not want to go into the tribal areas for us and round up all the "Usual Suspects", but he was keeping things fairly calm in a destabilized part of the world, while the US Ally was engaged in endless battle in Afghanistan and Iraq.

As soon as another girl walked into the dance, we dropped Musharraf like an old HAG and went for the new Girl!

But, Wait...the new Girl, was the old Girl.

And she was not even that good the last time.

Maybe we should have stayed with the Girl that we started this dance with...?

New Shows Starting Monday January 7th 2008

Call Live: 310-984-7600 or 631-247-9003 Code # 232885

For weeks on the HotConflict radio Show I have been discussing the situation in Pakistan.

You can check out our PAST Podcast archive and see that Pakistan has been extensively covered.

Today there has been talk that the upcoming elections will probably not happen.
After the death of Benazir Bhutto her 19 year old son Bilawal will take over as the leader of the party.
Again this looks like the continuation of a Bhutto dynasty  of the Peoples Party of Pakistan PPP.

There are all kinds of extremists who are taking credit fro the assassination of Bhutto. From Al-Qaeda to local political revolutionaries.

Was Pervez Musharraf involved in the assassination or just an indirect beneficiary?

Was the support of the Western Nations for a new election run by Benazir Bhutto too aggressive a political move? Apparently someone in Pakistan agrees and has killed Bhutto to make the point!

How should America proceed?

Listen to the conversation between myself and Jack Blood on Deadline Live News just after the former Prime Minister of Pakistan Benazir Bhutto was assassinated.

Saleem Siddiqui on Deadline News Live

Jack Blood and his radio show Deadline Live go against this trend. Jack Blood is on a crusade of his own. To remove the veil of ignorance and increase his audience with the light of knowledge. The motto of his show is to "Take the Red Pill", a Matrix movie reference. Those who take the red pill are people willing to face the Truth of Reality.

Contrary to original reports there appears to have been two assassins. A trigger man and a person charged with carrying out explosives detonation.

Attraction and Seduction: Muslim Girls Dating Marriage with Christian Jews White Boys

Seduction and Peacock Theory in Islam

One of the Most common concerns is that Muslims are perceived to treat their women poorly. Although it may be true that the conditions of women in many, if not all Muslim countries is terrible, it is not because of Islam that the condition exists.

The role of the mother in the Islamic society which ties in directly to the role of women and the place of social interaction is a complex issue.

Here I talk about the ideas related to new self help concepts.

• Laws of Attraction
• Art of Seduction
• The Game
• The Pick Up Artist PUA

VH-1 has recently done a reality show titled The Pick Up Artist with Mystery as the host.

Romance as a part of the natural interaction between the sexes is discussed in Islam. Recently there has been a religious element in the Muslim community who have led the general public to believe that affection and romance are not part of the Muslim vernacular. This is not true.

Romance is the Sunnah

Here in the west the divorce rates amongst Muslim couples is starting to increase, becoming similar to the general majority. The long term ramifications to the foundation of family upbringing for the next generation will have substantial consequences.

He conducts sermons and training for various religious and Nonprofit organizations. Working with effort to increase Muslim and Islamic awareness in Communications, Public Relations (PR), Public Speaking, Political Strategy, Media, Marketing, and many  other fields as they relate to the integration of Muslims in the United States of America and around the world.

The Proposal: How We Stop the War on Terror with Islam. Part 1

How to Stop the War on Terror Series

The Goal

Everyday there is a story about Islam and the Muslim community. All over the country and the world there are stories breaking everyday. Yet the overall Muslim community in the United States is extremely lacking in representatives who can communicate their views in a coherent and meaningful way. The best way for integration and change to occur is for Muslims to be active from within their own community to better portray and explain their views and opinions.

The goal: to find alternative ways to communicate and increase the diversity of opinions available by networking of individuals in the United States and elsewhere that can be trained and organized to be effective communicators for the Muslim world.

Implementation Areas

Viral Internet Content:

With the changes in technology it is becoming increasingly clear that more and more people are getting their opinions, and forming their religious and political views from the content on the internet. Even though many people still go and sit with a local Sheikh or Imam, the next generation of Muslims is getting a lot of their information from online content. Even amongst “radicals” or “extremists” as the terms may apply, the content they are viewing is online. Many times there is no direct content between those that react violently and any other organizations or Terrorist entities. Therefore, the necessity to provide positive alternative content, both audio and video, to help diversify the online Islamic content, is clear.

The Friday Khutbah (Sermon)

The key to change in any Muslim community is a better message from the pulpit on Friday. The position of the sermon in Islam is highly respected. The stature of the person who is able to command the pulpit is paramount. Generally speaking those that promote an integration model are considered by most, to be non-practicing or not authorities in religious matters and unworthy of the pulpit. Creating a new generation of Speakers that are qualified religiously to give a sermon and can be taken as authority from the community are the keys to changing the message the community hears.

Public Relations (PR) and the Media

Currently there are only a few organizations that are able to handle themselves with the Media and who can appear relevant as subject matter experts in the US Muslim community. There is a need to organize and develop individuals who can appear as experts in various fields. Daily there is a need for guests on TV for commenting on news stories. There are radio stations talking about Islam from both the left and the right, generally without any contribution form the Muslim community. Many organizations are looking for these Muslim individuals from Think Tanks, and expert witnesses for court, to poets and artists for entertainment.

Community Services

The Muslim community all across the country is in need of services. By helping individuals on a community level to better themselves you create and foster an environment of positive social change. There is a need to provide conflict resolution services for the community. Mediation of disputes, pre-marital and marital counseling, divorce prevention and support, youth leadership and entrepreneurship are just a few. By providing services and training we help alleviate the stresses of life for the community. People who are actively involved in self improvement do not resort to acts of desperation.

Concerns

The issue of concern is always what form of Islam is going to be promoted. There is a general misunderstanding amongst many people in the United States that there are forms of Islam. How do you stop the radicals from spreading their message? You can not control the information available. The best way is to develop a better message and provide more services. To spread many different opinions from various people and let the value of the content drive the information. By promoting alternative forms of information and content you provide the opportunity for young and old to have grater choice in what they chose to adhere to. Freedom of Speech. Freedom of Press. Freedom Religion. This is the American method, with the belief that if many alternatives are available, the messages of the extremists hurting Islam will be diluted.

This is part of the How to Stop the War on Terror Series

Implementation Areas

 

Viral Internet Content

Currently there are not many organizations or individuals creating alternative content online for the Muslim community. There is a need to produce content. From infotainment mainstream programming to political commentary and comedy, we need to broaden the horizons of Muslim awareness. Recently CBC in Canada has just produced and run a show about Muslim issues. The show, Little Mosque on the Prairie, by Zarka Nawaz has gotten a lot of viewers and has been picked up for another season.

Current Projects

1. Zaynab TV

Zaynab TV is an online viral programming show that will be created to deal with real life issues being faced by mainstream Muslims in America. This will be the initial project and will generate a lot of viral support. The viral internet content will generate networks of fans and viewers in the United States and around the world. This can then become a catalyst for other content to be created.

Currently the project is in need of funding. The producers and writers are already on board and the first four episodes are written. Sample trailers have been made and can be viewed on line. The model for this project is similar to that of PromQueen TV.

Zaynab TV Series Trailer

2. HotConflict.com

This an online audio and video blog dealing with the News, Pop-culture and Politics from a Muslim point of view. The key to this content is to be like a shock jock alternative commentator of current events.

www.HotConflict.com

Other audio and video content would need to be further developed. Another example of content currently being created out of Australia is Salam Café. A panel talk show format similar to many here in the west like The View, where Muslims talk about various issues, is something yet to be developed in the United States.

The stature of the person who is able to command the pulpit is paramount. Generally speaking those that promote an integration model are considered by most, to be non-practicing or not authorities in religious matters and unworthy of the pulpit. Creating a new generation of Speakers that are qualified religiously to give a sermon and can be taken as authority from the community are the keys to changing the message the community hears.

1. Friday Sermons

Start conducting sermons and promoting positive social change from the pulpit. The Khutbah Tour will be conducted by trained speakers who can deliver a positive message and promote Islamic values. These sermons will be geared towards getting community involvement in all aspects of integration into society. This message has to be Islamically based and focus on active participation, delivered with subtlety of a master!

1. National Tour

The Tour will be combined with other promotional events in major cities across the United States. This will cross promote the concepts in person with the viral internet content. Fans of the various websites will be able to meet those involved with the Zaynab TV show and producers of HotConflict.com.

Initial plan is for 12-15 cities to be included in the Tour in the first year.

3. Lecture Series

Friday nights in the Masjid are usually a gathering night for the community. Families come to listen to guest lecturers and possibly share meals with family and friends. This will be incorporated as a part of the tour and the Guest speaker will conduct a lecture on positive social change and identify leaders and begin the process of creating a network of positive change agents in each individual community.

4. Audio and Video content

The Sermon and Lectures will be recorded and available to be streamed on iPods for users as well as being available to listen and watch anytime online. There will also be interviews and commentary by community members all over the country to be added to online content as testimonials.

How to Stop the War on Terror Series

Public Relations and the Media

 

The key to changing the communications environment is not merely to identify the right individuals, but to help brand and promote them in their respected fields. It is important for the Muslim community to develop role models. These have to be individuals that are experienced in their area and actively participating in social change. Many times, there are great individuals with personality and talent available, but they lack infrastructure, organization, and funding, to market themselves correctly.

 

With correct branding and internet marketing, we can help promote these individuals and allow them the opportunity to become well know subject matter experts in their respected fields.

 

1. Making sure that the individuals are encouraged to Publish, will mean a combination of efforts.

-Publishing a blog or articles online in their area of focus.

-Access to ghost writers and publicity professionals and agents for Books.

-Submitting articles to trade journals and magazines.

-Create the genre of religious fiction and comics or Manga content.

 

2. Marketing experts to appear on Radio spots across the country. Talk radio is still a mainstay for the general public. There is a need for Muslim expert opinions who can communicate clearly over the air.

 

3. Preparing individuals to appear on TV. From large mainstream TV shows in syndication to little local community based talk shows. Scheduling and preparing individuals to present Islam and discuss the issues, while making them presentable for the audience.

 

4. Generating an online community by conducting Tele Seminars. With the advancement of technology, you can hold group discussing and seminars live online with teleconferencing and web seminars. This system has become very popular in recent years with networking organizations and network marketing. People will be able to ask questions and the barrier to entry is extremely easy. By holding these sessions online and on the phone, there is ease for the audience to listen and get involved from the comfort of their homes.

 

5. Individuals will be marketed as Subject Matter Experts for conferences, organizations, and other affiliated NGO’s. These will be people who can give academic lectures and appear as expert witnesses for the legal system and the courts. They will also form relationships with the local government and activist groups to help get the Muslim community involved in the public discourse.
