Influential Muslim religious leader Yusuf al-Qaradawi dies
[ShabelleMedia] Sheikh Yusuf al-Qaradawi
...Egyptian Islamic theologian and teevee preacher, well-known for IslamOnline, a website he helped found in 1997 and for which he now serves as chief religious scholar. Al-Qaradawi has also published more than 80 books, including Islam: The Future Civilization. He is considered one of the most influential Moslem Brotherhood scholars living today. Al-Qaradawi is banned from entering the United States, Israel and Great Britain. In 2004, 2,500 Moslem academics from Saudi Arabia, Iraq and Paleostine accused him of giving Islam a bad name....
, one of the Sunni Moslem world’s most influential religious scholars, has died.

Al-Qaradawi, an Egyptian who was based in Qatar
...an emirate on the east coast of the Arabian Peninsula. It sits on some really productive gas and oil deposits, which produces the highest per capita income in the world. They piss it all away on religion, financing the Moslem Brotherhood and several al-Qaeda affiliates. Home of nutbag holy manYusuf al-Qaradawi...
, was the chairman of the International Union of Moslem Scholars, and also a spiritual leader for the Moslem Brüderbund. He was 96 years old.

His death on Monday was announced on his official Twitter account.

Al-Qaradawi, who formerly made regular appearances on Al Jazeera Arabic to discuss religious matters, hosted a popular TV program, "Shariah and Life," in which he took calls from across the Moslem world, dispensing theological rulings and offering advice on everything from global politics to mundane aspects of daily life.

Al-Qaradawi was highly critical of the coup that overthrew Egypt’s first democratically elected president, Mohammed Morsi, in 2013.

Morsi had been a member of the Moslem Brüderbund before he became president, and was backed by the movement.

Al-Qaradawi was unable to return to Egypt following Morsi’s overthrow due to his opposition to Egypt’s President Abdel Fattah el-Sisi.

The religious leader had previously been in exile from Egypt prior to the 2011 revolution that overthrew former President Hosni Mubarak
...The former President-for-Life of Egypt, dumped by popular demand in early 2011...
His death sparked strong reactions across the Moslem world, as people took to social media to mourn his death.

The Moslem Brüderbund, which was founded in Egypt and had branches across the region, played a considerable role in the 2011 uprisings that rocked the Middle East and led to widespread demonstrations in several countries across the region.

Al-Qaradawi had been tried and sentenced to death in absentia in Egypt.

Al Jazeera’s Jamal El Shayyal, said Qaradawi authored "more than 120 books and more than 50-60 other publications that spoke to a large section of the global Moslem community".

"He was probably the most internationalised Moslem scholar that Islam had in modern days — probably the single most influential in that he didn’t limit his teachings to a specific section of Islam," he said.

Qaradawi often spoke about modern day issues, including everything from the "permissibility of relationships to elections and democracy to social justice issues," El Shayyal added.

Born in 1926, while Egypt was still under British colonial rule, al-Qaradawi combined religious education with anti-colonial activism during his youth. His activism against the British occupation and later, his association with the Moslem Brüderbund led to his arrest several times during the 1950’s.

He moved to Qatar in the early 1960s when he was appointed Dean of the Faculty of Shariah at Qatar University and then later granted Qatari citizenship.

Ibrahim Salah al-Nuaimi, chairman of the Doha international centre for interfaith dialogue, described Qaradawi as a "moderate, great scholar".

"He worked closely with many representatives of different faiths to bring together harmony and to really put down the hate speeches" that would sometime arise between different faiths," al-Nuaimi told Al Jazeera.

One of his early famous works was the 1973 book Fiqh al-Zakat (The Jurisprudence of Zakat). al-Qaradawi also sought to reinterpret historical rules of Islamic law in order to better integrate Moslems in non-Moslem societies.

He supported suicide kabooms against Israel in the Second Intifada and also voiced support for the Iraqi insurgency that erupted after the US-led invasion of 2003 toppled Saddam Hussein. His stance on both issues won him a long standing infamy in the West.

In 2009, Israel’s Shin Bet internal security agency accused al-Qaradawi of allocating $21 million to a charity funded by Hamas, a regional Iranian catspaw, to set up turban infrastructure in Jerusalem. Hamas, which rules the Gazoo
...Hellhole adjunct to Israel and Egypt's Sinai Peninsula, inhabited by Gazooks. The place was acquired in the wake of the 1967 War and then presented to Paleostinian control in 2006 by Ariel Sharon, who had entered his dotage. It is currently ruled with an iron fist by Hamaswith about the living conditions you'd expect. It periodically attacks the Hated Zionist Entity whenever Iran needs a ruckus created or the hard boyz get bored, getting thumped by the IDF in return. The ruling turbans then wave the bloody shirt and holler loudly about oppression and disproportionate response...
Strip, denied the allegations.
No, no! Certainly not!

Related: Wikipedia also has yesterday as the date of Mr. al-Qaradawi’s death.

Afghanistan
Taliban Accuses Fallen General’s ‘Atrocities’ for Mass Grave, Discovered Recently
[KhaamaPress] Authorities from the Taliban
...the Pashtun equivalent of men...
government claim that a mass grave that was recently found in the southern Afghan province of Kandahar is related to the "atrocities" of General Raziq Achakzai, fallen police chief of Kandahar.

The attention of many human rights
One man's rights are another man's existential threat.
organizations has been drawn to the mass grave, which was discovered in the Spin Boldak area of Kandahar, contiguous to Pakistain. They demand a thorough probe into this matter.

The remains of these bodies should not be further "disturbed and destroyed" pending forensic testing, Richard Bennett, the UN Special Rapporteur on the Situation of Human Rights in Afghanistan stated on Sunday, in a tweet.

The Taliban should collaborate with the UN and other legal organizations concerning the investigation, Patricia Gossman, the Associate Asia Director of Human Rights Watch, said in a conversation with the media.

"Rather than bring the graveyard of empires, Afghanistan is an empire of grave sites," Gossman wrote in a tweet on Monday.

The discovery of a mass grave in this area was also confirmed by the Taliban government front man, Zabihullah Mujahid, who told the media that it was "the remains of the atrocities of General Raziq."

General Raqiz Achakzai was one of the border commanders of the republic regime and was also the police chief in Kandahar province. Raziq was killed on October 18, 2018, in an armed attack.
Tolo News adds:
The deputy spokesman of the Islamic Emirate, Bilal Karimi, said that the grave site and human remains are from eight years ago and that investigations are underway in this regard.

The video shows the residents of Spin Boldak exhuming sixteen bodies.

“The residents of Spink Boldak of Kandahar discovered this grave while they were digging a well. The history of the grave goes back eight years, when the former government was in power. Our investigation has been continuing in this regard,” Karimi said.

Exodus of Sikh Minority from Afghanistan: 55 Afghan Sikhs Reach India
[KhaamaPress] A special flight took the last group of the Hindu and Sikh communities’ remaining members in Afghanistan to Delhi on Sunday, marking a turning point in the history of the exodus of Afghan minorities.

According to India’s Tribune, a special flight carrying 55 members of the Afghan Hindu and Sikh communities — 38 adults, 17 children, and three infants — landed in New Delhi, the Indian capital, on Sunday, September 25.

The final batch of the Hindus and Sikhs that were stranded in Afghanistan was evacuated, and they were in close contact with the Indian Ministry of External Affairs about it, according to Rajya Sabha
...After the Libyan Civil War, Sabha grew in importance as a slave auctioning town. However, an investigation by the National Commission for Human Rights in Libya (NCHRL) revealed that while there was illegal slavery, reports were exaggerated, as slave auctions were rare and not made public. This was a great comfort to everyone but the slaves peddled in secret. The city was later seized by forces loyal to the Libyan National Army (LNA) and its leader Khalifa Haftar in January 2019, probably for its collection of MiG-25 aircraft....
MP Vikramjit Singh Sahney.

He added that 543 Afghan Sikh and Hindu families had already been evacuated to West Delhi as a result of his organization’s implementation of the "My Family, My Responsibility" program.

Sikhs have lived in Afghanistan for generations and are among the country’s oldest inhabitants. They numbered more than 20,000 families in Afghanistan until 20 years ago.

Around 700 Sikh citizens reportedly resided in Kabul and Jalalabad until the year 2020, but as the Taliban
...Arabic for students...
government regained power and terrorist attacks against religious minorities, particularly Sikhs, increased, they too, were forced to leave Afghanistan, according to reports in the Afghan media.

The Taliban government, nonetheless, has repeatedly stated that it will safeguard the security of all Afghan people, including the nation’s religious minorities

More than 300 Hindus and Sikhs have been evacuated from Afghanistan as a result of the humanitarian efforts coordinated and facilitated by India.
At least 43 Afghan Sikhs and Hindus are still waiting to be evacuated, the Indian Express said.

The Islamic Emirate called on the Afghan Sikhs and Hindu community to not leave Afghanistan, saying that it remains committed to their rights.

“The life of Sikhs and Hindus is protected under the Islamic Emirate rule. But if someone leaves the country and returns through legal ways, it is a normal process,” said Bilal Karimi, deputy spokesman for the Islamic Emirate.

Lakbir Singh is one of the members of the Afghan Sikhs and Hindu community and has been living in Afghanistan for more than four decades. Singh has a herbal medicine shop in Kabul.

“(People) tell us that you are not from Afghanistan. This is an Islamic country. We are happy here. It is ok that it is an Islamic (country). We had four generations here,” he said.

“The exiting of the country by our Sikhs and Hindu citizens will not only affect the image of Afghanistan in socially but will also affect Afghanistan’s economy,” said Darya Khan, an economist.

Earlier, a group of 60 Afghan Sikhs and Hindus left Afghanistan for India.

Balkh Child Rescued from Kidnappers: Taliban
[KhaamaPress] The 10-year-old child, who was kidnapped last week in Mazar-e-Sharif, the capital city of the northern Afghan province of Balkh, has been released, said local Taliban
...mindless ferocity in a turban...
authorities.

According to the Taliban Director of Information and Culture in Balkh province, Zabihullah Noorani, the kidnapped child was rescued from kidnappers after a Taliban security forces’ operation.

The rescued child was returned to his family in the presence of the Taliban governor of Balkh and security authorities from Balkh province, according to a tweet from Noorani on Monday morning, September 26.

Yousuf, a young boy who is the son of a doctor in Mazar-e-Sharif city, was kidnapped earlier on Sunday, September 18, on his way to school.

Yousuf’s father, Doctor Qayyum Hakimi, expressed gratitude and appreciation for the security forces of the Taliban in a Facebook post after his son had returned home.

Previously, the relatives of Yousuf were reported to have identified the kidnappers as three gunnies with a Toyota Corolla-type car.

Afghanistan has seen a rise in kidnapping, especially in the northern province of Balkh, where the crippling ransom demands have become debilitating.

Fifth Column
Muslim Migrants to Obtain the Majority of Diversity Lottery Visas
[Center for Immigration Studies] Recently released State Department estimates indicate that a majority of those coming to the U.S. via the Diversity Visa Lottery during the next fiscal year (2023) will be Muslims, despite the fact that adherents of that faith account for less than a quarter of the world's population..

This is up sharply from the FY 2020 level of about 18 percent, as we reported earlier this year.

Given our government’s reluctance to gather data along religious lines, this information is teased out of statistics dealing with the country of origin of the diversity visa holders. A more precise statement would be that, out of 43,129 expected diversity visas, 21,000 will come from five Muslim-majority nations (Algeria, Egypt, Iran, Morocco, and Uzbekistan), while 22,129 will come from the rest of the world, or so the most recent State Department Visa Bulletin tells us.
Funny how the thumb is on the scale of a supposedly random lottery when the Obama 1,2,3 admins are in power.

Notorious ISIS 'Beatle' AVOIDS spending life sentence in 'concrete box' at Colorado supermax prison: Killer, 34, who slaughtered four US hostages is sent to 'softer' jail as lawyers plead for his mental health
[Daily Mail, where America gets its news]
  • El Shafee Elsheikh,
    ...“George” from the London ‘hood. He was born in Sudan, and he is not at all a nice man — the rest is only vicious detail. The British government stripped him both of British citizenship and protections when they cast him on the bosom of American law, asking only that he not get the death penalty...
    34, will not go to what's known as a 'concrete box' at the ADX Florence prison in Colorado but a less restrictive prison on the same site

  • At USP Florence High — at the same site — Elsheikh will live among a general prison population rather than spend 23 hours a day in solitary confinement

  • Elsheikh received eight life sentences after committing 'some of the most barbaric terrorist acts ever seen' as part of the twisted 'ISIS Beatles' group

  • They captured, tortured and killed a group of journalists and aid workers in Syria in 2014

  • Other prisoners who have spent time at Florence High include Boston Marathon Bomber Dzhokhar Tsarnaev and Green River serial killer, Gary Ridgway

#1  ...Let's be careful what we wish for and stay vigilant - problem number one is that if the mullahs split, there's still a bunch of very bad hombres who all feel that they're the rightful heirs. Problem number two is that even if they somehow avoid an implosion, what you're still likely to get is a much more Westernized nation that still hates Israel and still feels they should be ruling the Persian Gulf.

#2  Very true. Ideally, a moslem nation must be kept squabbling and factions stabbing and shooting each other for power, never actually stable for very long. Stability brings prosperity, military power and influence with the international community. Which we shouldn't wish for Moslems of any stripe.
