The Liquor Licensing Board: Sacrilegious, Cynical or Corrupt?

 The Liquor Licensing Board: Sacrilegious, Cynical or Corrupt?

      

Waajihatul Islaamiyyah (The Islamic Front) an Islamic Organisation situated in Bon Accord Tobago had strongly objected to Urmela Ragbir and Dundee Mohammed of Stop n’ Shop located at shop #4 of Lal’s Hardware Compound, #31 Store Bay Local Road, Bon Accord, Tobago, from obtaining a Licence to sell Spirituous Liquors. We saw this as having a negative impact on our adult citizens and by extension our youths, our families and our community. However the hypocritical pious, Ignorant, Narrow-minded Liquor Licensing Board did not see it that way hence their Irrational, Unintelligent, decision to grant the same.

Every Citizen is a building block of this Society; it implies a sacred vow to protect and create a safe and peaceful environment. The consuming of alcohol encourages vile and vulgar displays of human behavior, thus creating a Godless society. It was Sacrilegious to grant such a licence and in so doing brought humiliation on the Liquor Licensing Board by offering themselves to being very cynical indeed.   

The sale and consumption of alcohol has negatively impacted on our society for many years.

This fallout has resulted in a gateway into the use of illicit drugs and as a consequence grown to addiction and health issues, caused the break-up of families and homes, decreased productivity in the work place, have contributed to an increased occurrence of crime – assault, rape, robbery and murders. Alcohol related activities have placed an added burden on health care and health care reform and worst of all have plunged the youths into a state of adolescence intolerance reaping havoc in the home and in school. Adding another venue where alcohol can be brought will just make alcohol more easily available and accessible to the public and in particular the youths. This action in itself would counteract all the initiatives and programs being facilitated by our government in promoting a culture of Peace, safety and security in our communities.

It was within this context we begged the Liquor Licensing Board not to grant this licence. The decision they made to Grant this Licence will inevitable allow the continued degradation of our society at the hands of reckless, irresponsible and immoral citizens of this Twin Island state of ours.

Being very Acrimonious we decided to pursue an answer as to what may have influenced their decision. Further to our Assumptions, information has come to us that Urmela Ragbir is the wife of Subash Ragbir CEO of MIC a Government Tertiary Education Program. Isn’t it ironic on the one hand we have the Husband participating in the development of youths and on the other we have the wife volunteering her services to destroy them? Which leads us to our next question: How is it possible that the wife of a Government appointed CEO be granted a Licence to sell Spirituous Liquors? Especially in light of the following:

1. There existed a number of Health, electrical, Fire and structural issues with the building where the said business establishment is located. All the necessary Statuary checks and inspection was not conducted according to law before approval was given.
2. The preservation of moral and ethical values in our community was compromised.
3. A number of religious organisations and churches are operating in very close proximity to the said establishment i.e. less than 400 meters away.
4. A lot of families with children live in very close proximity to this business establishment.
5. A lot of very young children and teenagers frequent this same business establishment and there is no clearly visible signs cautioning the Sale of alcohol to minors.
6. Just opposite operates a Day Care Centre.
7. The social culture in Tobago is as such that where ever alcohol is sold whether it be a Bar, Supermarket or Mini Mart you’ll find individuals sitting right outside consuming the alcohol they brought. And that was exactly what happened there. Urmela Ragbir and Dundee Mohammed would provide seating arrangements for their customers and would also gather and collect the empty beer bottles and take it inside their shop. They would often times have a young boy name Davanand Singh serve out Alcohol and cigarettes to the customers. Also visible at times were children accompanying those customers while consuming alcohol and smoking cigarettes. Doesn’t that type of activity bears the resemblance of a Bar? There isn’t any urinal so those customers would pass urine all over the compound thus creating an unhealthy environment with a stench in the air.
8. Directly arising out of the sale and consumption of this alcohol as it relates to this business establishment – ‘Stop n’ Shop’ – is a number of criminal and civil matters that is now before the courts.
9. Dundee Mohammed was convicted of a criminal offence and did spend time in a correctional facility.
10. It is alleged that Urmela Ragbir the wife of CEO Subash Ragbir attempted to pervert the course of justice by paying $100.00 to avoid prosecution in a matter where it is alleged she destroyed property belonging to a tenant. That alleged $100.00 was logged at the Crown Point Police Station by Officers Karute and Sergeant Piggott.    
11. There are already too many Shops and ‘Watering Holes’ that sell alcohol in the Canaan, Bon Accord and Crown Point area. Just to think, the very same street on which this shop is located there were already ‘FOURTEEN’ Shops, Bars and Mini-Marts that sell alcohol and this does not include the Shop in question and other areas of the community.
12. Copies of an objection letter and a petition were submitted to The Liquor Licensing Board and others.

In consideration of the entire above, one would assume that the granting of this licence was politically motivated. Our question is; was it?

Waajihatul Islaamiyyah (The Islamic Front) sees this action as corrupt on path of The Liquor Licensing Board. We therefore call on all Citizens of this beautiful Island of Tobago to lobby The Liquor Licensing Board to review their decision in this regard and revoke with immediate effect any and all such Licence granted to Urmela Ragbir; the wife of CEO Subash Ragbir and by extension urge all stakeholders and Government agencies to have all such license reviewed and to further disallow all such first time application for sale of Spirituous Liquors in communities where it will negatively impact on our adult citizens and by extension our youths.

  

Ten (10) years from now when all statutory limits would have ended we may then come to the realization that a wrong decision was made in granting this and all such licence and we did nothing to prevent it. At that time it will be too late and nothing we do would be able to change it.

Disgrace and humiliation for the French...

Allahu Akbar! 
Allahu Akbar! 
Allahu Akbar! 
Allah has already started to disgrace and humiliate the French for their decision to ban the Veil and Burqah... Never underestimate the Dua (Prayers) of the oppressed... America, Belgium, Spain, Canada and the likes should take a lesson from this...

Farmers sad... Ministers smiling...

Farmers sad... Ministers smiling... During the Manning Administration the homes of the farmers were almost Bulldozed so they; the farmers voted for 'Exchange'. Today under the Peoples 'Parasitic' Government their Agricultural Lands were Bulldozed, Their livelihood destroyed, Their 'Bread and Butter' Snatched from their hands by TnT's biggest bullies. This is no more than an attempt by the Peoples 'Parasitic' Government to re-define the Constituencies so as to gain benefit at the polls come election time. So while they were smiling with the farmers giving them the assurance of 'Land Tenure' playing 'Good Cop, Bad Cop' they had their Henchman Jerlene John come like a thief in the night to demolish all their hard work, dreams and aspirations... We as a people must not allow this to happen. Trinidadians and Tobagonians must take a stand against the tyranny and exploitation being experienced in our country. While the government attempts with all their might to deceive us, we must respond! We must send a strong message to the world that all is not well in Trinidad and Tobago! We are a broken nation, constantly living in fear from the rampant crime, economic depression and corruption plaguing us. The time is right to rise up and come together. It is now up to every one of us to take back this beleaguered country from contempt and corruption. Let us Join and support each other fully in our attempt to change all this… We can do it with the help of God Almighty… The alternative to doing nothing is living in this abyss that is Trinidad and Tobago…

...Lean On The Side Of Caution And Withdraw.

Even though in a society like America where one would have the right to burn all kinds of things — letters, flags, books, Bibles and Qurans and not be punished and censored for their political expression based on their own emotional reactions or sense of morality, we must also understand Rights, Privileges and Laws; especially if they are not Divine, do change over time and these changes are dependent upon the Social, Economic and Political impact on our society at the time. In cases where the impact is negative so as to cause wide spread social and political unrest resulting from a phobia of harm and provocation; we must all agree to lean on the side of caution and withdraw.

French Face Veil Ban

In light of the recent developments in France, Waajihatul Islaamiyyah (The Islamic Front) vows to take every possible and necessary action in response to the banning of the Burka.

The Prophet (pbuh) of Islam said:

"The similarity of the believers in their mutual love and brotherhood is similarity of the single organism. When one part hurts, the whole body hurts".

When this occurs we must be able administer a cure that would kill the bacteria and destroy the parasite…

The duty of the Muslim Leaders

It is a duty of the Muslim Leaders, wherever they are, to give importance to the Command of Allaah. The essential benefit of Leadership by Muslim Leaders is that they direct the Muslims to Allaah's Religion, compel them to obey His Command, help them in obedience to Allaah and forbid them from what is contrary to or at variance with Allaah's Law. This is the intended purpose of Muslim Leaders. Allaah's Command should be established under their leadership by guiding the people to good and by compelling and helping them to adhere to what Allaah has make obligatory.

The BIG Picture...

None of you 'political pundits' saw the big picture... First let me state this... The PP is the worst Government to have ever been unleashed on the People of this twin Island State... This whole Nizam fiasco was well orchestrated to divert the attention of the whole country so as to allow the Government to carry out a more sinister act... That act was the granting of bail to the two biggest financiers of the UNC and the PP. It came like a thief in the night... The BIG JOKE is on all of us... All it took was for just another 'Muslim' to be sacrificed at the halter... First it was Fazeer then Nizam... Who would it be next?

Saying As-Salaatu Khayrum Mi Nan-Nawm In The Adhan.

Saying As-Salaatu Khayrum Mi Nan-Nawm
 In The Adhan.

 When should the words as-salaatu khayrum mi nan nawm (prayer is better than sleep) be said? In the first adhaan or in the second? It is a consensus by some scholars that ` As-salaatu khayrum mi nan nawm `in FAJR Adhan is a Bi`da cause Hazarat Bilal use to use these words in TAHAJJUD Adhan and IBN MAKTOUM use to call the FAJR Adhan whereby he did not use these words. The other consensus is that, by the use of these words you are trying to compare SLEEP with FAJR Salat which should not be the case. It is also said that Shaikh Albaani had made a Du`aa for the youngsters of today asking ALLAH to give them Hidaya to stop this Bi`da. If this is correct, why is it being followed in Mecca and Madina as well?

Praise be to Allaah.

It is narrated in a number of saheeh ahaadeeth that the as-salaatu khayrum mi nan nawm (prayer is better than sleep) are to be said in the adhaan for Fajr. It is mentioned in some of them that this phrase is to be said in the first adhaan without stating what is meant by the phrase “the first adhaan” – is it the adhaan that is given before Fajr or is it the adhaan of Fajr itself?

These ahaadeeth include the following:

1 – It was narrated that Abu Mahdhoorah (may Allaah be pleased with him) said: I used to give the adhaan for the Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) and in the first adhaan of Fajr I used to say: “Hayya ‘ala al-falaah, As-salaatu khayrum mi nan nawm, As-salaatu khayrum mi nan nawm, Allaahu Akbar Allaahu Akbar, laa ilaaha ill-Allaah (come to prosperity, prayer is better than sleep, prayer is better than sleep, Allaah is Most Great, Allaah is Most Great, there is no god but Allaah).”

Narrated by Abu Dawood, 500; al-Nasaa’i, 647; classed as saheeh by al-Albaani in Saheeh Abi Dawood.

2 – It was narrated that Ibn ‘Umar (may Allaah be pleased with him) said: In the first adhaan after the word al-falaah it said: As-salaatu khayrum mi nan nawm (prayer is better than sleep, prayer is better than sleep).

Shaykh al-Albaani said:

It was narrated by al-Tahhaawi (1/82) with a hasan isnaad as al-Haafiz said in al-Talkhees (3/169).

Al-Thamr al-Mustataab, p. 131

These ahaadeeth provide evidence for those who said that this should be said in the first adhaan which comes at the end of the night. But the correct view is that it should be said the adhaan which comes after the time for prayer has begun. That is for a number of reasons:

(a)  The word awwal (first) is in relation to the iqaamah, and the iqaamah is the second call to prayer. In the saheeh Sunnah there are reports in which the iqaamah is called an “adhaan”, as in the words of the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him): “Between each two calls (adhaanayn)…” Narrated by al-Bukhaari, 598; Muslim, 838.

In Saheeh Muslim (739) the adhaan which comes after the time for prayer begins is called the first adhaan. This appears in the hadeeth narrated by ‘Aa’ishah (may Allaah be pleased with her) about the prayer of the Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him). She said: He used to sleep during the first part of the night and wake up during the latter part, then if he had any need for intimacy with his wife he would satisfy that need, then he would sleep. Then when it was the time of the first call, he would wake up and pour water over himself, and if he was not junub he would do wudoo’ as a man does for prayer, then he would pray two rak’ahs.

What is meant by two rak’ahs here is the regular Sunnah of Fajr, as stated by al-Nawawi in Sharh Muslim.

(b)  In some saheeh ahaadeeth it is clearly stated that the adhaan in which this phrase appears is called adhaan salaat al-subh, adhaan al-fajr, etc. These phrases indicate that this adhaan should come after the time for the prayer begins and the adhaan that is given at the end of the night comes before the time for prayer begins. These ahaadeeth include the following:

1 – It was narrated that Abu Mahdhoorah (may Allaah be pleased with him) said: I said: “O Messenger of Allaah, teach me the Sunnah of adhaan.” He wiped the front of my head and said: “Say Allaah Akbar, Allaahu Akbar, Allaah Akbar, Allaahu Akbar (Allaah is Most Great, Allaah is Most Great, Allaah is Most Great, Allaah is Most Great)… And if it is Fajr prayer, then say: As-salaatu khayrum mi nan nawm, As-salaatu khayrum mi nan nawm (Prayer is better than sleep, prayer is better than sleep).

According to another, similar report, it says: “As-salaatu khayrum mi nan nawm, As-salaatu khayrum mi nan nawm (Prayer is better than sleep, prayer is better than sleep) in the first adhaan of dawn.”

Narrated by Abu Dawood, 501; al-Nasaa’i, 633; classed as saheeh by al-Albaani in Saheeh Abi Dawood.

According to another report narrated by Abu Dawood (504) from Abu Mahdhoorah (may Allaah be pleased with him): He used to say in Fajr: “as-salaatu khayrum mi nan nawm (Prayer is better than sleep). Classed as saheeh by Shaykh al-Albaani in Saheeh Abi Dawood.

2 – It was narrated that Anas (may Allaah be pleased with him) said: It is Sunnah for the muezzin, after saying Hayya ‘ala al-falaah (come to prosperity), to say: “as-salaatu khayrum mi nan nawm (prayer is better than sleep)” twice.

Shaykh al-Albaani (may Allaah have mercy on him) said:

This was narrated by al-Daaraqutni (90), Ibn Khuzaymah in his Saheeh and al-Bayhaqi in his Sunan (1/423), and he said: its isnaad is saheeh.

It was also narrated by al-Daraaqutni and al-Tahhaawi (1/82) via Hushaym from Ibn ‘Awn with the wording: In the adhaan for Fajr prayer, when the muezzin said: Hayya ‘ala al-falaah (come to prosperity), he said: “as-salaatu khayrum mi nan nawm (prayer is better than sleep),” twice. This version was narrated by Ibn al-Sakan who classed it as saheeh, as it says in al-Talkhees, 3/148

Al-Thamr al-Mustataab, p. 132

These ahaadeeth show that this phrase appears in the adhaan for Fajr prayer.

The adhaan which is the call to prayer is that which comes after the time for the prayer has begun, because the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: “When the time for prayer begins, then let one of you give the adhaan for you.” Agreed upon.

As for the adhaan which comes at the end of the night, this is not an adhaan for Fajr prayer as such, rather it is done “so that the one who is praying qiyaam may go back and the one who is asleep may wake up”, as is narrated from the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) in al-Saheehayn. Thus it is clear that the phrase which appears in the adhaan which comes after the time for the prayer begins is not a bid’ah (innovation), rather it is Sunnah.

A Standing Committee of scholars were asked:

What is the reason why the Sunnah of the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him), to say as-salaatu khayrum mi nan nawm, is not done in the first adhaan for Fajr, as is mentioned in Sunan al-Nasaa’i, Ibn Khuzaymah and al-Bayhaqi?

They replied:

Yes, this phrase should be mentioned in the first adhaan of Fajr, in accordance with the command of the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him). It is clear from the hadeeth that it is the adhaan that is done when the true dawn comes, and it is called ‘first’ in relation to the iqaamah, which is an adhaan according to sharee’ah, as it says in the hadeeth, “Between every two calls (adhaanayn) there should be a prayer.” The word adhaan here does not refer to the call that is given before the appearance of the true dawn. That call is prescribed in order to wake those who are asleep and so that those who are praying qiyaam may go back. It is not a call to announce the Fajr prayer. Whoever studies the ahaadeeth about this phrase will see clearly that they refer to the adhaan given to announce the time of Fajr, not the adhaan which is given at night just before dawn. End quote.

Shaykh ‘Abd al-‘Azeez ibn ‘Abd-Allaah ibn Baaz, Shaykh ‘Abd al-Razzaaq ‘Afeefi, Shaykh ‘Abd-Allaah ibn Ghadyaan, Shaykh ‘Abd-Allaah ibn Qa’ood.

Fataawa al-Lajnah al-Daa’imah li’l-Buhooth al-‘Ilmiyyah wa’l-Ifta’, 6/63

For more information on the refutation of those who say that this phrase should be said in the adhaan which comes before the time for the prayer begins, please see al-Sharh al-Mumti’ by Shaykh al-‘Uthaymeen (may Allaah have mercy on him), 2/61-64

And Allaah knows best.

Playing cards is not permitted!

IN THE NAME OF ALLAAH MOST GRACIOUS MOST MERCIFUL

Playing cards is not permitted, even if there is no money involved, because the problem with that is that it distracts people from remembering Allaah (dhikr) and from prayer. Even if they claim that this is not the case, then it is still a means that may lead to gambling which is expressly forbidden in the Qur’aan. Allaah says (interpretation of the meaning):

“O you who believe! Intoxicants (all kinds of alcoholic drinks), and gambling, and Al-Ansâb, and Al-Azlâm (arrows for seeking luck or decision) are abominations of Shaitân's (Satan's) handiwork. So avoid (strictly all) that (abominations) in order that you may be successful. Shaitân (Satan) wants only to excite enmity and hatred between you with intoxicants (alcoholic drinks) and gambling, and hinder you from the remembrance of Allâh and from As-Salât (the prayer). So, will you not then abstain? And obey Allâh and the Messenger (Muhammad [sal-Allâhu 'alayhi wa sallam]), and beware (of even coming near to drinking or gambling or Al-Ansâb, or Al-Azlâm) and fear Allâh. Then if you turn away, you should know that it is Our Messenger's duty to convey (the Message) in the clearest way.”

[Surah al-Maa.idah - 005:090 – 092]

These cards have an effect on society, for the bonds of a strong society are achieved by means of two things: following the commands of Allaah and heeding His prohibitions. A society disintegrates when it neglects any of those duties or does any of those things that are forbidden. These cards form one of the factors which have an effect on society. They cause people to neglect prayer in congregation, and they generate alienation, breaking of ties, hatred and negligence through the committing of haraam actions and they make people too lazy to earn a living. 

With regard to the history of these playing cards: No one really knows who invented playing cards or when or where they were invented. It has been said that they are of Chinese or Indian origin, or otherwise. But historians are agreed that they came to Europe from the Middle East in the latter part of the Middle Ages. Experts also say that there is agreement that playing cards have clearly evolved from that time until now. 

Playing cards made their first appearance in Europe in Andalusia, and were brought to northern Spain in the eleventh century CE. 

The traditional deck of cards in Spain consisted of 40 cards, including the numbers 1 to 7, plus three characters, the highest of which was the “ruler”, followed by the “deputy”, then the “scribe” or “knight.” 

In the sixteenth century, the French changed the cards, replacing the “ruler” with the king, the “deputy” with the queen, and the “knight” with the jack. They also added three new numbers, so that the deck now consisted of 52 cards. In the seventeenth century, the Germans added a fourth character, the joker.

It may also be added that playing cards is devoid of any of the goals of recreational activities as required in Islam; it does not teach any skill that is needed for jihad or any useful knowledge or bring any social benefit or relaxation that will calm the nerves. Rather it is a game that has nothing good in it; it causes arguments and simply kills time. It is based on speculation and chance, and it is like playing with dice, in that it leads to disputes and fighting, and it is like alcohol and gambling. 

Based on the above, it would not be far fetched to suggest that it is haraam rather than makruh, by analogy with dice, because both are based on chance and both lead to arguments.

This is based on the fact that it leads to enmity and hatred, and because it is a great waste of time and it distracts people from remembering Allaah (dhikr) and keeps them from worshipping and obeying Him.

MEDIA RELEASE: STAY AT HOME!

Waajihatul Islaamiyyah (The Islamic Front) is sending a stern warning to all citizens of our twin island state to stay away from all Carnival festivities in light of the following:

1.     Wrath of God Almighty:

Never in the history of this Nation has God Almighty been so displeased and dissatisfied with our behaviour as a people.  Imagine the day has come in this land when a man will be given a prize of two million dollars for glorifying the consumption of alcohol and the vile disrespect of women.  The carnal sin of the people during this time by far exceeds what is normally accepted by God Almighty by way of misguidance and human error.  Whenever these acts of lewdness and promiscuity are rampant in the land that place becomes destined for God Almighty’s destruction.  They are correct when they say ‘Carnival is the Greatest Show on Earth’; it’s ‘The greatest Show of Obscene Disrespect and Vile Contempt to God Almighty.’

2.     People’s Frustration:

The ‘Democratic Capitalism’ has done very little if any at all to improve the life of the people of this blessed land of ours.  The blood and sweat of the people has reached its boiling point and it will take just one inconsiderate action to bring out the unreasonable beast in anyone.  One can well imagine the outcome of such an incident being influenced by consumption of alcohol and illicit drugs.

3.     Police Impasse:

An attempt by the police to withhold their much needed services would lead to wanton chaos and destruction.  This is inevitable due to the failed negotiation between the police and the CPO.  Imagine, monies can be found by the millions to promote a culture that is destructive but not 40% more to the men and women who are responsible for the safety and security of the entire country.

Waajihatul Islaamiyyah (The Islamic Front) cannot guarantee the safety of either citizens or foreign nationals during the Carnival season.  We are calling on all men, women and children to stay away from all carnival festivities or suffer the consequences.  You have been warned.

‎"And tell the believing women to reduce [some] of their vision and guard their private parts and not expose their adornment except that which [necessarily] appears thereof and to wrap [a portion of] their headcovers over their chests and not expose their adornment except to their husbands, their fathers, their husbands' fathers, their sons, their husbands' sons, their brothers, their brothers' sons, their sisters' sons, their women, that which their right hands possess, or those male attendants having no physical desire, or children who are not yet aware of the private aspects of women. And let them not stamp their feet to make known what they conceal of their adornment. And turn to Allah in repentance, all of you, O believers, that you might succeed." (Quran 24:31)... 

She should be whipped in public for her utterances....

Reincarnation - ‘vomit’ or ‘regurgitated food?’

People who believe in reincarnation simply see themselves as ‘vomit’ or ‘regurgitated food’. From inception to birth and then death, one goes through different dimensions in a journey towards meeting his/her Maker. Upon embarking on the dimension of death one as to be a total fool to think that the dimension death would ‘regurgitate’ or ‘vomit’ him/her back into the dimension of birth to live another life… That is preposterous! Are you ‘vomit’ or ‘regurgitated food?’

Media Release:

The death of our Bro. Imtiaz Ali

Waajihatul Islaamiyyah (The Islamic Front) is appalled by the dastardly and gruesome crime which resulted in the death of our Bro. Imtiaz Ali... It is an ugly reflection of the face of this New Peoples Partnership Government and their aimless efforts in mending this broken society, more so it reflects the corrupt and horrible state of the Muslim community in this Twin Island State of ours.

We therefore call upon the Commissioner of Police to arrest this situation and bring the perpetrators to answer for their diabolic and cynical crime. We call upon all Muslim groups and members of the general public to assist in whatever way they can to bring an end to this nightmare.

Fifteen (15) murders in Twelve (12) days is nothing to be proud about.

Anyone with information regarding the circumstances and or the perpetrators of this dastardly and gruesome crime which resulted in the death of our Bro. Imtiaz Ali can call Umar Abdullah @ 787-0765 or 365-6253.

Devastating News....

I Just received one of the most devastating news I could ever imagine... It just goes to show what we see with our physical eye is never always the reality... Never take for granted the smile of an individual... It may very well be a cry that was meant to deceive...

Saudi Salafis - Allies or Enemies?

Many in the West believe that the Islam practiced in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia holds the best chance of defeating jihadi ideology, because of the strength of its clerics and their proximity to militant Salafis, who espouse jihad and support the movement. But such alliances for strategic gain could easily turn to backfire against the West, as it has before.
At first glance, an Islamic movement relentlessly arguing against jihad would appear to be an ideal ally for the United States in the war on terrorism. Even more appealing, the movement claims to be the modern-day heirs of the Salafi movement and is prolific in issuing condemnations of fellow Salafis who have engaged in organized resistance or encouraged individuals to heed the call of jihad. Clearly, there are many potential dangers in creating such an alliance in order to weaken the global jihadi movement. Yet, in many ways it is occurring ipso facto through the U.S. partnership with Saudi Arabia and the powerful positions held by Salafi clerics in the kingdom. U.S. support for this movement—whether direct or indirect—should be reevaluated in consideration of the waning influence of the Saudi Salafis both inside and outside of the kingdom, and the resulting long and short term effects on U.S. counterterrorism efforts.

The fundamentalist rhetoric of Saudi Salafis (commonly referred to as Wahhabis) has been the subject of debate in Washington since September 11. Less frequently discussed is that this same movement also produces a significant amount of literature aimed at impugning the Islamic credentials of Salafi-jihadis and organized Islamist groups like the Muslim Brotherhood. In strategic terms, the alliance with a pro-Western Saudi Arabia benefits the U.S. twofold, as it also indirectly supports the Saudi Salafis and their attempt to purify Salafi ideology—the main driver of Islamic extremism—from jihadi tendencies. However, the alliance may prove detrimental as the public image and legitimacy of the Saudi Salafis continues to decline in Muslim eyes.

Osama bin Laden and countless other mujahidin, as well as Muslim reformers, have turned against the Saudi Salafi movement—which oversees the religious and educational institutions in Saudi Arabia—yet it has remained loyal to the kingdom and its policy of cooperation with the U.S. This, coupled with the decadence of Saudi rulers, has made for an extremely unpopular image in the Muslim world, not just among supporters of the mujahidin. The U.S. must not rule out the possibility that Saudi Salafis may continue to lose influence to the point that Salafis advocating resistance to the tyrannical forces of the West could consolidate the movement and present a unified Salafi doctrine on jihad. Such a scenario would be a significant blow to U.S. efforts to de-legitimize the global jihadi movement, and could serve as a very public loss in the long term struggle against the patron ideology of the mujahidin.

The main catalyst of the decline of the Saudi Salafis came in the late 1990s with the death of three of their most prolific and well-known leaders (Bin Baz, al-Albani, and al-Uthaymin). They were the leaders of the committees issuing fatwas, or religious rulings, controlling the two holiest sites in Islam, and overseeing the curriculum of the most prestigious Salafi universities. Since then, their successors have attempted to preserve their legacy, treating them as the highest scholarly authorities in doctrinal and ideological issues. But no new leaders have risen to fill their shoes, and Salafi leaders outside the kingdom are now the ones capturing an audience and defining the ideology of the movement.

The ineffective and often pedantic tactics of the Saudi Salafi movement are a major factor in their decline. They ceaselessly refute their detractors; the “innovators” who have adopted the methods of “deviant sects” and are thus leading the Muslim community into sectarianism and discord. Yet, the rancorous rhetoric used to attack these “innovators”—many of whom are among the most popular Islamic leaders—seems to have little resonance among most Muslims. Because many Muslims lack the rigorous classical education needed to parse through the minutia of Saudi Salafi arguments, their condemnations of jihadists often prove unapproachable or unappealing. Thus, Saudi Salafis obsess over religious doctrine and practice while offering little guidance on political or social affairs in a time of great upheaval in the Muslim world.

Their failure to address issues of concern to the Muslim nation is exemplified in the networks of English-language Salafi websites, which are aimed primarily at American and British audiences. Salafitalk.net supports the positions of the Saudi Salafi movement, hosting a discussion forum, links web-broadcasts lectures from Saudi scholars and providing extensive refutations of innovators and deviants. Over the past four years, they have posted hundreds of articles on Abul-Hasan al-Ma’ribi, a little known figure outside of volitile northern Yemen and Saudi Salafi circles. The massive number of condemnations and refutations against al-Ma’ribi point to the Saudi Salafis’ fear of defection, especially from those who attempt to mobilize Islamic resistance—the greatest threat to stability in the kingdom. But devoting such resources to de-legitimizing an individual ideology (literally hundreds of detailed refutations of every aspect of al-Ma’ribi’s ideology have been published) has not yielded results for the Saudi Salafis. Instead, more charismatic leaders have been able to win support with simpler messages addressing Muslims’ greatest concerns—bin Laden being the best example.

It seems apparent that the Saudi Salafi campaign against Salafi-jihadi ideology is having little effect on the morale or public image of the mujahidin. For the very reason that Saudi Salafis have built their movement around the illegitimacy and deviancy of social or political mobilization in Islam makes them an ineffective organization for countering militancy. Without public campaigns that address key societal and political issues, Saudi Salafis are left only to continue the seemingly endless ideological and doctrinal debates with Salafi-jihadis and other figures oppose them, who in turn eventually focus their energies on winning supporters and strengthening their movements rather than wasting resources to convince Saudi Salafis that their methods are sound.

Indirect support for an ineffective religious movement may seem benign, but the consequences of its failure are not. Abul-Hasan al-Ma’ribi and the numerous others condemned or excommunicated by the Saudi Salafi movement continue to lecture, publish and organize Muslims around a more persuasive call of unity and collective action. Additionally, although the Saudi Salafis are able to issue textually elaborate materials condemning jihadi ideology, their methods of scholarship are not shared by the majority of Sunni scholars, and the language of their arguments are far too detailed for the lay reader.

Over recent decades, the prestige Saudi Salafis enjoy from ruling Mecca and Medina has won the trust of the average Muslim. But if the current trend of the last five years continues, Saudi Salafis will undoubtedly lose power and in all likelihood an alternate current of either jihadist of Islamic reform-minded Salafis will replace them. U.S. policymakers should not underestimate the importance of Mecca and Medina to organized Islamic movements. If it is indeed the case that these most important and holy cities are lost to supporters or sympathizers of global jihad, the U.S. will be forced to fight a far greater ideological backing for the mujahidin and face a tide with sweeping momentum in the Middle East.

Hypocrites...Be Careful You May be One of Them...

In the Name of Allâh, the Most Beneficent, the Most Merciful

“And of mankind, there are some (hypocrites) who say: "We believe in Allâh and the Last Day" while in fact they believe not.

They (think to) deceive Allâh and those who believe, while they only deceive themselves, and perceive (it) not! In their hearts is a disease (of doubt and hypocrisy) and Allâh has increased their disease. A painful torment is theirs because they used to tell lies. And when it is said to them: "Make not mischief on the earth," they say: "We are only peacemakers."

Verily! They are the ones who make mischief, but they perceive not. And when it is said to them (hypocrites): "Believe as the people (followers of Muhammad Peace be upon him , Al-Ansâr and Al-Muhajirûn) have believed," they say: "Shall we believe as the fools have believed?" Verily, they are the fools, but they know not. And when they meet those who believe, they say: "We believe," but when they are alone with their Shayâtin (devils - polytheists, hypocrites, etc.), they say: "Truly, we are with you; verily, we were but mocking." Allâh mocks at them and gives them increase in their wrong-doings to wander blindly.

These are they who have purchased error for guidance, so their commerce was profitless. And they were not guided.

Their likeness is as the likeness of one who kindled a fire; then, when it lighted all around him, Allâh took away their light and left them in darkness. (So) they could not see.

They are deaf, dumb, and blind, so they return not (to the Right Path).

Or like a rainstorm from the sky, wherein is darkness, thunder, and lightning. They thrust their fingers in their ears to keep out the stunning thunderclap for fear of death. But Allâh ever encompasses the disbelievers (i.e. Allâh will gather them all together). The lightning almost snatches away their sight, whenever it flashes for them, they walk therein, and when darkness covers them, they stand still. And if Allâh willed, He could have taken away their hearing and their sight. Certainly, Allâh has power over all things.”  (Al-Baqarah 8-20)

The first parable depicts those hypocrites who in their inmost hearts did not believe in Islam at all, but had become ‘Muslims’ for the sake of self-interest or expediency. The second parable gives a description of those hypocrites who were suffering from doubt, suspicion and lack of faith. Though they were not wholly unbelievers, they practised Islam only to the extent which might not involve them in trouble.  In this parable rainfall stands for Islam which came as a blessings to humanity; pitch darkness, thunder and lightning stand for the impending obstacles, the threatening dangers and the glaring difficulties which were being experienced on account of the strong resistance from the opponents of Islam. When the situation eased a little, they began to move onward on the path of Islam but when the clods of difficulties began to appear or when they were given such commands as were against their self-interest or their superstitious beliefs and prejudices, they again stood still in sheer perplexity.

To all you Muslims who voted in the last Democratic Elections and 'Muslim Parliamentarians' alike... Beware YOU are being WARNED!...
