New Jaguars owner Shahid Khan, Parvez Ahmed, and the Local Media

[ACT Jacksonville]

Please read and take appropriate action.

News 4 Jax posted an article yesterday in regard to racial and ethnic slurs against the new owner of the Jacksonville Jaguars Shahid Khan.  http://www.news4jax.com/news/No-Commenting/New-Jaguars-owner-focus-... 

 

Local Media’s decision to take a stand, and speak out against the ignorance of these bigoted slurs and statements would have been commendable, If they had stuck to the facts and not inserted their own prejudice and bigotry by slanting the story.

Immediately, WJXT/News 4 Jax began to compare the reprehensible slurs against Shahid Khan, to the opposition of Parvez Ahmed and his possible appointment to the Jacksonville Human Rights Commission…...  THERE IS NO COMPARISON.

Shahid Khan has been disparaged due to his race and/or religion purely.  This is the true face of bigotry, not so in the case of Parvez Ahmed.  Parvez Ahmed was not opposed because of his heritage or religious views, but because of his affiliations and support of terrorist like Sami-Al Arian, and the Holy Land Charity, a source of funding of terrorism and terrorist activities.

Parvez Ahmed, was opposed with FACTS to include his (10) year leadership position, to include (4) years as the National Chairman of the Council on American Islamic Relations (CAIR).  CAIR is the propaganda arm of HAMAS in America according to Congresswoman Sue Myrick, Co-Founder of the Counter Terrorism Caucus.

This ridiculous comparison by WJXT/News 4 Jax, is a direct attack on the character and integrity of some of our nation’s leading National Security experts who also opposed the appointment of  Parvez Ahmed in writing to our City Council and Former Mayor Peyton, as well as the Anti-Defamation League (ADL) and Former Muslims United (FMU).  Local News Agencies refused to make the following information public…Click Links below see documents submitted to council and Fmr Mayor Peyton.  If you would like a copy of the original documents contact [e-mail]

• Intelligence Brief on Parvez Ahmed
• Frank Gaffney, Center for Security Policy, CAIR under Parvez Violates FARA Act?
• Ed Soyster, Fmr Director, U.S. Defense Intelligence Agency
• Joesph Shmitz, Fmr Inspector General, Department of Defense
• John Guandolo, Fmr Special Agent FBI, Washington Field Office, Expert on Islamic Movement / Muslim Brotherhood in the United States
• Former Muslims United Parvez Ahmed denies former Muslims Equal Rights
• Anti-Defamation League, Opposition letter to City and Mayor
• Ali Sina Muslim Apostate, Opposition letter to City and Mayor

Parvez Ahmeds, immediate predecessor, Omar Ahmad was demoted as National Chairman when his supremacist statements went public, “Islam isn't in America to be equal to any other faith but to become dominant, he said. The Koran, the Muslim book of scripture, should be the highest authority in America, and Islam the only accepted religion on Earth, he said." (Lisa Gardiner, San Ramon Valley Herald, 'American Muslim leader urges faithful to spread Islam's message,' July 4, 1998)

CAIR was designated in a Federal Court as a Muslim Brotherhood Front Group, as well as a wing of the Palestine Committee aka HAMAS.   CAIR/HAMAS members under Chairman Parvez Ahmed’s watch were sentenced up to 65 years in prison for their involvement with their parent organization, the Holy Land Foundation, in funding approximately $12.4 million to the families of suicide bombers and other terrorist activities.

Omar Ahmed was to be tried in a subsequent trial along with 10 other individuals in April of 2010, however, Attorney General Holder quashed these upcoming proceedings and those against 246 additional defendants despite successful convictions on 108 counts.

The fact is, Parvez Ahmed acted as a HAMAS Operative in official capacity for (10) years, and appears to be continuing to fulfill the objectives of the Muslim Brotherhood via Cultural Jihad/Sensitivity Training otherwise known as Influence Operations in the intelligence community.

Local News stories continuously labeled ACT! for America and the local Chapter as a racists and bigots, without a single statement to corroborate those claims during the entire controversy.  ACT! for America and its members, made only factual statements which could verified.

ACT! for America's founder is a Lebanese Arab and its membership is very diverse.  ACT! for America, works with Muslims, former Muslims, Arabs, Jews, and people of all races, religions, and sexual orientation and does not fit the profile of a Bigot, hatemonger, or other terms used by local media to disparage it.

We call on all Citizens to call News 4 Jax and write letters to the appropriate staff/leadership, as well as other local media regarding their continued bias and to demand they begin to be ethical in their reporting and stop using Parvez Ahmed as the poster victim of hate and bigotry in Jacksonville.  Citizens deserve to know ALL the FACTS concerning Parvez Ahmed and his ties to terrorist organizations.

Were this beheading arrested? Yes. That is the point. There is no argument that supports these acts, it is considered a crime. Murder. That is the point of our system, being an apostate in the US does not mean entitle others to kill you. Nor does being a witch. Or an atheist. Or Hindi or anything else. I would prefer the rest of the world to believe likewise, Amnesty International is one the few groups who make this an issue. Pledges make no difference, governments must be held accountable. The continent of Africa is rife with zealots who kill based on these types of killings, whether it be religious, tribal or racial. No matter what you call it, genocide, ethnic cleansing, mass murder, the rationale does not matter, it is wrong.
It is noble that you seek to protect the weak. This pledge however shouldn't be the single defining element in determining a person's legitimacy.
If Dr. Ahmed had signed it, then he would be okay?

Mrs. Choate,

 

What you should be asking ..... IS WHY THESE FORMER MUSLIMS FELT IT NECESSARY TO TAKE THE TIME TO PREPARE SUCH A DOCUMENT AND THEN DISTRIBUTE IT TO EVERY MOSQUE AND ISLAMIC CENTER IN FLORIDA, AS WELL AS TO MOSQUES AND LEADERS OUTSIDE THE STATE.

 

Then you should ask why NONE of them would sign a document with is clearly a constitutional and human rights issue.  

 

Then you can asky why Human Rights Commissioners Parvez Ahmed of Jacksonville, and Ahmed Bedier of Tampa (both Fmr CAIR/Hamas leaders) refuse to sign it, despite both being in Human Rights and Advocasy Posiitons?

When you start to actually give some substance and not just personal opinion.... you might start to gain some credibility.

[ACT Jacksonville]

Pledge continued.... see post below for first half of pledge.

 

Louay Safi, the former Executive Director of IIIT and the Executive Director of the Islamic Society of North America (ISNA) Leadership Development Center, Peace and the Limits of War, IIIT publication, 2003 (p. 25): “A quiet desertion of personal Islamic duties is not a sufficient reason for inflicting death on a person.  Only when the person’s desertion of Islam is used as a political tool for instigating a state of disorder, or revolting against the law of Islam, can the individual apostate then be put to death as a just punishment for his act of treason and betrayal of the Muslim community.” 

 

Shaikh Syed Abul A’ala Maududi, Pakistani Islamic authority, The Punishment of the Apostate According to Islamic Law, translation by Syed Silas Husain, 1994: “In any case the heart of the matter is that children born of Muslim lineage will be considered Muslims and according to Islamic law the door of apostasy will never be opened to them. If anyone of them renounces Islam, he will be as deserving of execution as the person who has renounced kufr to become a Muslim and again has chosen the way of kufr. All the jurists of Islam agree with this decision. On this topic absolutely no difference exists among the experts of shari'ah.”

Therefore:

 

To support the civil rights of former Muslims, also known as apostates from Islam, I sign “The Muslim Pledge for Religious Freedom and Safety from Harm for Former Muslims”:

 

I renounce, repudiate and oppose any physical intimidation, or worldly and corporal punishment, of apostates from Islam, in whatever way that punishment may be determined or carried out by myself or any other Muslim including the family of the apostate, community, Mosque leaders, Shariah court or judge, and Muslim government or regime.

Please mail your signed pledge to Former Muslims United, 11856 Balboa Boulevard, #241, Granada Hills  CA  91344.  For more information contact [e-mail].  *Complete fatwa texts posted at www.formermuslimsunited.org .

The Muslim Pledge for Religious Freedom

 And Safety from Harm for Former Muslims

Whereas:

All four schools of Sunni Islamic law (Hanafi, Maliki, Shafi`i, and Hanbali), as well as the main schools of Shia Islamic law, unanimously agree that a former Muslim male, also known as an apostate, must be executed. While some hold that an apostate woman should also be executed, the Encyclopedia of Islamic Law: A compendium of the Major Schools, adapted by Laleh Bakhtiar, states that she should be imprisoned or beaten five times a day until she repents or dies. These specific world renowned Islamic legal authorities join in this consensus:

Head of the Fatawa Council of Al-Azhr, Abdullah al-Mishadd, of Al-Azhar University, the pre-eminent Shariah legal authority, Fatwa issued September 23, 1978: “This man has committed apostasy; he must be given a chance to repent and if he does not then he must be killed according to Shariah. As far as his children are concerned, as long as they are children they are considered Muslim, but after they reach the age of puberty, then if they remain with Islam they are Muslim, but if they leave Islam and they do not repent they must be killed…”*

 

Mufti of Lebanon, Beirut, Fatwa issued November 13, 1989: “Now, should the apostate (male or female) persist in his apostasy, he should be given the opportunity to repent, prior to his being put to death, out of respect for his Islam. A misunderstanding on his part may have taken place, and there would thus be an opportunity to rectify it. Often apostasy takes place on account of an offer (of inducement). So Islam must be presented to the apostate, things should be clarified, and his sin made manifest. He should be imprisoned for three days, so that he may have the opportunity to reflect upon his situation. This three-day period has been deemed adequate. But if the man or the woman has not repented of his or her raddah, but has continued to persist in it, then he or she should be put to death…”*

 

Ibn Rushd (Averroes), The Distinguished Jurist's Primer, "Chapter on the Hukm of the Murtadd (Apostate),” Volume II, (p. 552), Section 56.10:  “An apostate, if taken captive before he declares war, is to be executed by agreement in the case of a man, because of the words of the Prophet (God's peace and blessings be upon him), "Slay those who change their din:.  They disagreed about the execution of a woman and whether she to be required to repent before execution.  The majority said that a woman (apostate) is to be executed…”

 

Ahmad ibn Naqib al-Misri, Reliance of the Traveller, translation approved by Al-Azhar Islamic Research Academy and IIIT, 1994 (p. 595): “ o8.1 When a person who has reached puberty and is sane voluntarily apostatizes from Islam, he deserves to be killed….o8.4 There is no indemnity for killing an apostate (O: or any expiation, since it is killing someone who deserves to die).”

 

Ismail R. Al-Faruki , the Founder of International Institute of Islamic Thought (IIIT), Islam, 1979 (p. 68):  “That is why Islamic Law has treated people who have converted out of Islam as political traitors…[Islam] must deal with the traitors when convicted after due process of law either with banishment, life imprisonment, or capital punishment…but once their conversion is proclaimed, they must be dealt with as traitors to the state.”

 

Louay Safi, the former Executive Director of IIIT and the Executive Director of the Islamic Society of North America (ISNA) Leadership Development Center, Peace and the Limits of War, IIIT publication, 2003 (p. 25): “A quiet desertion of personal Islamic duties is not a sufficient reason for inflicting death on a person.  Only when the person’s desertion of Islam is used

Mrs. Choate,

Again, you have seen all the Authoritative Islamic documentation I have posted in our last debate, yet you jump in to say it is overblown.   The Sayyid Sister murdered in Texas, Aasiya Hussan the Wife of Muzzamil Hassan.. moderate "Bridges T.V. an interfaith outfit who was beheaded, and over two dozen other Muslim American women killed for being too westernized might disagree with you.  Of course those are just the ones we know of.

 

They are united because some of these Muslims live in fear and other who are in this group Nonie Darwish and Wafa Sultan have Fatwas or legal edicts calling on any Muslim in the Ummah or community to kill them in accordance with their doctrine.  

Amanda,  the three I's .... you are either Ignorant, Incompetent, or In bed (ideologically, monetarily, politically, or otherwise).   You can no longer claim ignorance...since our last lengthy debate.  You are either INCOMPETENT or IN BED...    WHICH IS IT?

[amanda choate]

The very fact that there is a group known as Former Muslims United certainly hints at the fact that the death to apostates position may be overblown. Wouldn't be much of a group, unless they are zombies????!

[Glenda Elizabeth Caldwell]

RUSH YOUR MONEY MUST HAVE BEEN AMERICAN MONEY!

[Theresa Pletcher]

Not really, my concern is that he didn't pay his taxes and why wasn't Rush Limbaugh's money good enough for the NFL...everyone is bending over backwards to defend this man and they did nothing to defend Limbaugh. 

[LOTTO NICK !]

Look ,my advise for the new owner is to swap one of our  quarterbacks for Tebow , a determined  leader and motivator who Denver does not want  , so the ticket sales will be there ,give the people of this town what they want  and the sales the owner needs .IT IS THAT SIMPLE to keep this team in this town for NOW.
