As we all know, “Violent Extremism” is a euphemism for “Islamic Terrorism”. However, “violent” is pejorative and inherently discriminatory, and “extremism” implies a value judgment that says “moderate” ideologies are in some way preferable and superior to “extremist” ones.
Therefore I propose that we replace the outmoded phrase “Violent Extremism” with “Kinetic Activism”, which remains value-neutral while still addressing the dangerous tendencies of certain ideological radicals who interpret core documents in ways that negatively impact their fellow humans of all races, creeds, colors, and sexual orientations.
This past week President Barack Hussein Obama (pbuh) convened a summit in Washington D.C. to address the pressing issue of kinetic activism. The second day of the summit opened with an Islamic prayer in Arabic. No other religious invocations were offered — neither Christian, nor Jewish, nor Buddhist, nor Wiccan, nor Ásatruar. Only Muslim.
That makes sense, of course, since Mohammed was the final prophet of the only true religion, whose ministry made all previous avatars irrelevant. So let’s not quibble about the fact that a conclave of responsible theophostics chose to offer a prayer to Allah only, and nothing else. Those esteemed mantics have a legitimate claim to being the best of all people, beloved of Allah. They deserve their righteous privilege.
However…
An error of omission crept into the invocation at the Summit on the morning of February 19: not all of the prayer — which was offered up in Allah’s own language, Arabic — was translated into English.
The following video may help clarify matters. The Arabic text you hear was recited by Imam Sheikh Sa’ad Musse Roble, president of the World Peace Organization in Minneapolis, Minnesota (and an imam at the mosque in Karmel Square, which was loaned more than a million sharia-compliant dollars by the City of Minneapolis). The English-language audio features Imam Abdisalam Adam of the Islamic Civil Society of America, who is also the director of the Dar Al-Hijrah mosque in St. Paul, Minnesota. The translated Koran text is from Hilali-Khan, which is one of the authorized standard translations.
Many thanks to ritamalik for the translation and timing, to Dr. Andrew Bostom for his Koranic expertise, and to Vlad Tepes for the editing, annotation, and subtitling:
The recitation featured in the imam’s prayer was Koran 5:32, but not all of the noble text was translated into English. In the Hilali-Khan translation below, the missing text is marked in red:
Because of that We ordained for the Children of Israel that if anyone killed a person not in retaliation of murder, or (and) to spread mischief in the land — it would be as if he killed all mankind, and if anyone saved a life, it would be as if he saved the life of all mankind. And indeed, there came to them Our Messengers with clear proofs, evidences, and signs, even then after that many of them continued to exceed the limits (e.g. by doing oppression unjustly and exceeding beyond the limits set by Allah by committing the major sins) in the land!
The significance of the missing portions may not be obvious to those who have never studied the Koran.
The first sentence (omitted from the English translation) is intended to indicate that the stated rule applied solely to the “Children of Israel”, i.e. the Jews, and not to those who had submitted to Allah. Muslims were, and are, required to obey a different set of rules, as will become evident in the next verse of the Koran.
The translation of the last part of 5:32 was also omitted. It explains the exception to the rule, which includes anyone who has committed “mischief” or “major sins” in the land.
And who might those exceptions be? You guessed it! It’s them JOOOOS — and possibly those nasty Christians as well.
The next verse, Koran 5:33, has more details on what Allah has ordered up against those who commit mischief in the land (Hilali-Khan translation):
The recompense of those who wage war against Allah and His Messenger and do mischief in the land is only that they shall be killed or crucified or their hands and their feet be cut off on the opposite sides, or be exiled from the land. That is their disgrace in this world, and a great torment is theirs in the Hereafter.
In other words: If anyone killed a person, it would be as if he killed all mankind, UNLESS the victim happened to be a Jew or a Christian who refused to submit to Allah. In that case, his punishment would NOT be execution, or crucifixion, or having his limbs amputated, etc. He might even get a reward.
Ritamalik, who did the hard work of listening to the Arabic in the video to determine what the imam actually said, had this to say about the redacted translation:
The only verse from surah 5 that was recited was verse 32 in its entirety. But it was not translated in its entirety. The parts that I marked in red were recited in Arabic but not translated into English. Obviously verse 33 was not recited even in Arabic, because it is one of the most violent verses in the Quran, and it absolutely negates everything that verse 32 says. Also I assume that the imam neglected to translate the beginning of the verse 32, because it says that the peaceful sounding commands in verse 32 applied to the children of Israel and not to Muslims since, the Muslims have to follow this command in verse 33.
I only wish someone in the widespread media would dare to expose this often half-quoted verse by Muslim apologists once and for all, and explain that the best verse that they could find in Quran to show that Islam is peaceful is actually fake, and the real command is to kill and crucify and amputate limbs!

This perfectly demonstrates what I was saying about this being 7th century “gangsta rap”.
When all other music is banned, this is your music. This is your media. It tells you to “bust a cap” in your gang leader’s enemies, and worse.
“Islamic extremism” and the like are too restrictive. It had to be “violent extremism;” that generic term will allow whatever means Obama comes up with against IS –for use within US borders or outside – to be applied to the Tea Party and other domestic enemies. It also makes it easier for Obama to promote the Muslim Brotherhood agenda.
The DHS just made its next move in preparing the domestic battlespace: the Washington Times (!) headed its piece on the DHS’ warning about the danger of right wing extremists with an old file photo of a Tea Party rally.

The sad thing is that all of the “sovereign citizen” incidents I’ve read about involve people squatting in foreclosed home hoping to take advantage of adverse possession laws.
The last incident I heard about involved people who were apparently inspired by the “Moorish American National Republic” who squatted in a house that they claimed in the name of the “Moroccan Empire”. However the police just arrested them without incident and that was it, aside from them claiming that the police had no authority to arrest sovereign citizens of the “Moroccan Empire”.
So forgive me if I dont take this “violent extremist” soverign citizen claim seriously. Every incident I’ve heard of has involved extreme annoyance but not violence.
Obama the accident of a pop culture vote gone viral should be some sort of a clue even to the clueless that we are being preyed on by our Muslim enemy occupants as beings who are not ideologically kosher.
Thanks for that work GoV, excellently explained. The Prize for best Headline of the Month goes to the one who penned this:
The White Mosque Summit on Countering Kinetic Activism
“I only wish someone in the widespread media would dare to expose this often half-quoted verse by Muslim apologists”
The elite are so sure of the complicity of the journalistsa, academics and clergy, that even in the context of explaining why beheading someone like Lee Rigby is “unislamic”, they can use koran 5:32 and claim they are reading that verse aloud, whilst simultaneously omitting the parts where it enjoins murder.
Obama and Bush have abuses this verse. And the Deputy PM of the UK did it, before Lee Rigby’s body had even been buried. The Deputy PM was surrounded by “establishment” muslims, none of whom pointed out he had just edited the koran, something which is forbidden. Those muslims should have been fuming with anger; they would have been if the Deputy PM had drawn a picture of Mohammed.

Tell me again what the Muslim population of the United States is? Is it sixty or seventy million? The White Christian minority need to start asserting their rights soon. The Kenyan Muslim Presidency and partners the Egyptian Muslim Brotherhood is obviously putting in place an agenda that any Coptic Christian will tell you does not have your best interests at heart. What is going on in the US and the EU should be absolutely terrifying to the locals – but apparently it is not. Very strange that – all things considered.
” The White Christian minority need to start asserting their rights soon. ”
Let me state something which has already been stated many times.
Although I have no objection to a white, or Christian population working in its own interests, in the fight against Islamic takeover, your target population is far too narrow. You have strong allies in liberty-loving atheists, (very brown) Hindus who have been victims of Muslims for a thousand years, and, recently, (brown) Buddhists who are getting fed up with Muslim attacks in Thailand.
A fundamental value in the US and most Western countries is that we can maintain our differences as philosophical, while sharing a common devotion to representative government and freedom.
Also, since the Muslim Brotherhood is now illegal, banned, and prosecuted in Egypt, it might be better to not describe the Muslim Brotherhood as Egyptian.
The problem is Obama and the Left are not targeting atheists, Buddhists or Hindus. They are making white, Christian, Constitutional conservatives, whom they made out to be the bad guys and the chief source of evil in the world.
The latest report from DHS again makes white Conservatives the main source of domestic terrorism in the U.S. Not atheists, or some foreign adherents to Eastern religions who percentage wise are no more than a statistical error and tend to vote Democratic (hence no friends of Western Civ).
If atheists or Buddhists want to make common cause they are free to do so or simply form their own organizations. But they shouldn’t expect outreach since they are not the targets of the government and their Islamic associates the way white Conservative Christians are.
Wholeheartedly agreed.
The only analogy I can come up with is, the cobra ( Islam) is mesmerizing inducing a hypnotic state before it’s deadly strike. Is it pre-ordained by God to allow Satan to destroy the Christian World, or what else could it be?
Saudi Muslims got the Twin Towers, The Pentagon and now the White House. Halal and faux history in the schools. All they need is a few key player conversions and demographics will take care of the partition part.
So, does anyone still have any doubts as to Obama’s true religion and allegiance?
I never had any doubts about that creature occupying the White House.
He made it abundantly clear in his writings and associations what he was about before he even set foot in the White House.
The problem was, that the GOP ran someone who made Obama look good – McCain and the same in 2012 with Romney.
Never have had, even before he was voted in I had Obama pegged as a sunni muslim.
It wasn’t difficult, EVERYTHING he does is for islam, against America and all religions other than islam. Obama has not even tried to hide his affiliation with sunni islam, he even said straight out he “will side with islam”, and boy, has he done that! “I’m really a Christian”, well a little taqiyya doesn’t go astray! Pouring muslims into America while leaving Christians to be slaughtered by muslim mobs in the Mid. East, refusing point-blank to allow the destruction of his isis friends, allowing the western air strikes to only bomb where isis has been, or maybe taking out a Toyota pick up with a bomb that cost, how much?
Obama should never have been voted in, and after he was, should have been impeached, but two problems arose; he’s black, and imagine the legacy–‘The first black President, impeached?’ The second? Those who voted the impostor in will do anything but admit it–it isn’t only orientals who hate to ‘lose face’.
Misquoting of 5.32 and non-quoting of 5.33 is a favourite staple of the establishment in the UK, as well as the US.
Nick Clegg, Deputy Prime Minister did exactly the same after the murder of Lee Rigby by two muslim terrorists.

This report is a vocabulary expander; I had to look up
theophostic (God + light)
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Theophostic_counseling
and
mantic = prophetic, having the power of divination
By following the link, we find that
“Since 2006, Minneapolis has loaned more than
$1 million to Muslim business owners through
a program that complies with sharia law,
which prohibits Muslims from paying or earning
interest in a financial transaction.”
So these are interest-free loans (no riba)!
Hey, sudden idea: Jew-like interest on loans
is known by the Islamic term “riba”. And
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reba_McEntire
was born in McAlester, Oklahoma. So she
would be the perfect poster child for her fellow
Oklahomans at the Islamic Society of Greater
Oklahoma City (isgoc.com). Students at their
madrassa could prepare a placard with her picture
on it, crossed out with a big red slash to indicate
“No Riba!”
https://postmediacalgaryherald2.files.wordpress.com/2014/03/reba-photo.jpg
And they could find an editorial use for her song
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5Faw065zp8k .
This is just a note about sharia-compliant loans and interest.
Although interest is forbidden under sharia law, they get around that by agreeing to pay back more than the loan amount. In other words, there is an imputed interest, but not actual interest. I suspect this provision actually works against the lender. When interest is charged, you can usually pay off the loan before it is due, and save the remaining interest. I’m not so sure you can do that with sharia-compliant loans.
A much more salient point about sharia-compliant finance, is that part of the profits have to be used to support Islamic “charity” and dawah, which means in effect, support of terrorism and stealth jihad. This is just as strong a requirement as the “no interest” provision.
Way to go, Minneapolis.
I agree with RonaldB and the others: I studied Islamic “finance” and I came to the conclusion that they simply charge interest without calling it “interest”, to make themselves feel superior to the “Jooooos”, who charge interest.
In fact, without interest, there can be no lending at all. Why would you part from your money without any compensation?
By the way, Islamic “finance” is a recognized area of study in most Canadian universities, and they are hiring faculty right now. Just another way that Canada has found to submit its population to Islam.
This item reminds me of the censored video of the Pope’s prayers with an imam and a rabbi at the Vatican last year, also reported by GoV.
Thanks, Ronald B and Papa Liver, for this explanation of non-interest interest known as riba, which is a kind of enforced contribution for Islamic charities like jihad and dawah. Maybe Riba McEntire can be persuaded by a truckload or two of Wahhabi money to star in a series of commercials for Islamic finance (wearing appropriate headgear and giving up her hadith-verboten songstress ways).
This was no summit, it was a friendly round table discussion by practising muslims. We were probably being talked about but not consulted. This discussion was clearly designed to assist muslims to dispose of the rest of us.
