Title: France closing mosques Post by freediver on Feb 17th, 2016 at 7:48pm
:o
Not many recent updates on this. Gandalf how does this fit in with your theory that mosque attendance prevents radicalisation? France likely to close more than 100 mosques http://www.aljazeera.com/news/2015/12/france-100-mosques-close-151202142023319.html France is likely to close up to 160 mosques in the coming months as part of a nationwide police operation under the state of emergency which allows places of worship that promote radical views to be shut down, one of the country's chief imams has said. Following news that three mosques have already been closed since the November 13 attacks on the capital, Hassan El Alaoui, who is in charge of nominating regional and local Muslim imams and mediating between the imams and prison officials, told Al Jazeera on Wednesday that more were set to be shut. "According to official figures and our discussions with the interior ministry, between 100 and 160 more mosques will be closed because they are run illegally without proper licenses, they preach hatred, or use takfiri speech," he said. |

Thanks Gandalf, for diverting my attention away from the hate speech bit. I might have missed the bit about the paperwork not being in order. Those French love their paperwork, don't they? It's not about telling the truth, but about which truth to tell, right?
Do you think the causal link is one way? That is, violently inclined Muslims don't choose to go to the more radical mosques. Rather, they happen to go to a mosque that is more radical, which causes them to become terrorists? |

No, nor is that what is being discussed. The action taken here is in relation to unlicensed mosques that have been set up independently from the official islamic bodies, and who don't represent the mainstream French muslim population. There is no indication that there is any problem vis-a-vis radicalisation in the the mainstream, licensed mosques that represent the vast majority of muslims in France. |

Sorry, had to get on my PC for this: Harris In your work, you make a distinction between “revolutionary Islamists” and “jihadists.” I think we should define these terms. I would also like to know how you think public opinion is divided in Muslim communities. I picture several concentric circles: At the center are groups like the Islamic State,5 al-Qaeda, al-Shebab, Boko Haram, and so on. Their members apparently wake each morning yearning to kill infidels and apostates. Many of them also seem eager to be martyred in the process. Most of us refer to these people as “jihadists.” Then there is a larger circle of Islamists who are more politically motivated and appear less eager to kill and be killed. Beyond that is a wider circle of Muslims who probably support jihad and Islamism—financially, morally, or philosophically—but are not inclined to get their hands dirty. Finally, one hopes, there is a much larger circle of so-called moderate Muslims, whether they would label themselves that way or not, who want to live by more modern values. Although they may not be quite secular, they don’t think that groups like the Islamic State represent their faith. Perhaps there are also millions of truly secular Muslims who just don’t have a voice. I’m wondering whether you think my understanding of these categories is correct, and if so, what percentage of the earth’s 1.6 billion Muslims you would put into each of them. Nawaz Obviously, this won’t be an empirical answer, but I’ll give you my gut reaction. Continuing with your concentric-circles imagery, in the center, as you have rightly said, are the jihadists. Beyond them is a larger group of Islamists. So that there’s absolutely no confusion for our readers, when I say “Islamism,” I mean the desire to impose any given interpretation of Islam on society. When I say “jihadism,” I mean the use of force to spread Islamism. Islamism and jihadism are politicized, contemporary readings of Islam and jihad; they are not Islam and jihad per se. As I’ve said, Islam is a traditional religion like any other, replete with sects, denominations, and variant readings. But Islamism is the desire to impose any of those readings on society. It is commonly expressed as the desire to enforce a version of shari’ah as law. Political Islamists seek to impose their views through the ballot box, biding their time until they can infiltrate the institutions of society from within. Revolutionary Islamists seek change from outside the system in one clean sweep. Militant Islamists are jihadists. |

Sorry FD, not really sure where you are going with this.
Are you saying this muslim initiative in France was wrong? |
Title: Re: France closing mosques Post by freediver on Feb 18th, 2016 at 12:28pm
I am saying that it surprises me that they had a licensing system to begin with. France has an odd tendency to place secularism above freedom, which we have witnessed in particular with the efforts to ban the burqa. The idea of the state licensing religious organisations or having "official" religious organisations flies in the face of that value.
I am obviously not familiar with the details, and the closure of 3 mosques may not be a disproportionate reaction to the bloody violence that has happened there. I am also interested in what role you see the government having in getting rid of non-mainstream mosques here in an effort to prevent Islamic extremism - ie whether you think it would work, based on a theory of causation, and whether you think it is a good idea. |
Title: Re: France closing mosques Post by gandalf on Feb 18th, 2016 at 3:44pm freediver wrote on Feb 18th, 2016 at 12:28pm:
You misunderstand. The licenses were issued at the behest of the head Islamic body in France straight after the Paris shootings. It was an attempt to make all mosques and Imams conform to a set of values that are consistent with French culture: http://www.theguardian.com/world/2015/nov/25/leading-french-muslim-body-to-create-licence-to-preach-for-imams My understanding is the French authorities are now working with this Islamic body to identify unlicensed mosques who are preaching hate, and going in and closing them. For the government, they are acting under the emergency rule - still in place since the attack. |
Title: Re: France closing mosques Post by gandalf on Feb 18th, 2016 at 3:48pm freediver wrote on Feb 18th, 2016 at 12:28pm:
Its not a matter of closing mosques because they are "unofficial" or "unlicensed" - its about closing down anyone - muslims or non-muslim who incites hatred and violence. You don't stop and work out whether or not inciters of violence are causing this or that, you just shut them down full stop. Incitement in and of itself is justification enough to shut them down. |

In the half-hour program Sheik Hilaly said the controversy showed how standards were skewed and claims were fabricated. "There is no freedom and no democracy [for Muslims] - the most dishonest and unjust people are Western people and the English in particular." He said Australian law allowed freedoms that at times were "close to madness", and that Australia had a third gender of "in-between people who are not male or female". :D :D :D :D :D :D :D What a racist maggot. |

What causes your self loathing?[/quote] That's not Chinese whispers, Ian. That's good referencing. I fully agree with the argument about the foreign fighter's bill. The world is full of soldiers of fortune, including non-Muslim Australians. I also don't think it should be illegal to defend a foreign homeland, as some Australian Kurds are now doing against ISIS. They are equally subject to the legislation as it now stands. A Kurd in just this situation recently had his Australian passport cancelled. I'm not sure about the foreign fighter's bill being applied to sermons, but I only think people should be prosecuted if they incite actual violence. I'm not adamant about terrorist supporters. I'm adamant that people should have every right to defend others against brutal regimes like Syria and ISIS. I'm also adamant that people should have the right to say what they like about Western culture and values. You criticize Western values continuously on this site, and I don't think it should be illegal to do so. If you were a professional soldier and joined a foreign militia for a fee, I'd have to think about whether this should pass muster. There are international treaties (including the Geneva Convention) that address this. It is a huge issue now in places like Africa, where mining companies employ militias. It was also an issue in Bouganville, where BHP employed ex-Australian soldiers to defend their Ok Tedi mining lease against local guerillas. Should Australians have the right to fight locals defending their own land against mining or forestry companies? An interesting question, but one that I think goes outside our discussion here. |

Ian, your claims below stand. By blaming women who leave the house for rape, Hilali's comments are completely offensive. You're right - they do excuse rapists. His comments on excessive sentences for the Skaf gang also point to his thinking on rape. While he's right that these sentences were passed in the context of Sept 11, his comments do appear to minimize the crimes, which were brutal. This time, I'm impressed with your argument. Hilali deserves to be howled down for such comments. You're perfectly justified in raising them. Good quoting and good arguments. Hilali is indeed a dirtbag. |

The 'Aussie' moslem will never denigrate the misdeeds of another moslem who attends his own mosque. But the 'Aussie' moslem will 'stand up', and protest in support of those who murder in the name of their 'peaceful' faith. Here we see 'Aussie' moslem women and children in a moslem street protest on Sydney streets, .....moslems shamelessly exploiting the Australian flag, by seeking to associate themselves publicly, with the values which our Australian flag represent, .....while these 'Aussie' moslem women and children are marching on Sydney streets, in support of deposed President Mohammed Morsi and the Muslim Brotherhood of Egypt. IMO, the Muslim Brotherhood of Egypt are in the same class of moslem monsters as ISIS, Boko Haram, and every other jihadist group which is promoting violent jihad to pursue their political aims. http://www.ozpolitic.com/forum/YaBB.pl?num=1390857768/30#30 http://www.ozpolitic.com/forum/YaBB.pl?num=1390857768/31#31 http://www.ozpolitic.com/forum/YaBB.pl?num=1390857768/33#33 street theatre, depicting scenes from Egypt [with Muslim Brotherhood cadres of Egypt, depicted as victims]; http://www.ozpolitic.com/forum/YaBB.pl?num=1390857768/35#35 Quote:

Koran 8.67 Koran [8:67 above] meaning here, first moslems should beleaguer and slaughter their enemies in the land, to terrorise, to cower them.

I don't want the sole Muslims guy on these boards to pretend that you Muslims are putting in a maximum effort when you are nowhere near to even an anaemic and enervated effort. London, India, Calgary - not Australia. The demo in India, a country of hundreds of millions of Muslims - 12 turned out for the demo.

Because my thoughts on the matter should be patently obvious from my previous remarks. No matter, since you gave me a direct and sensible response in the other thread, I'll give you one here. No I don't agree we should start licensing mosques - because that would be redundant. The criteria is simple: if they are preaching hate, they should be banned. How would licensing add any value to this? You still have to determine whether or not they are preaching hate - license or no license. |
Title: Re: France closing mosques Post by freediver on Feb 24th, 2016 at 7:05pm
You have not actually expressed an opinion on any of it previously Gandalf. You have tried to clarify 'factual' issues - what it is, what is isn't, what is is 'about', but not whether it is good or bad.
Do you think the licences are of any value to the French? If not, why go to such effort to stress that they were illegal, unlicenced mosques? |
Title: Re: France closing mosques Post by gandalf on Feb 24th, 2016 at 7:12pm freediver wrote on Feb 24th, 2016 at 7:05pm:
It probably suits the French more given their near-militant insistence on secular values in all aspects of public life. We are a bit more relaxed about these things. Its important to emphasise because unlicenced/illegal mosques go hand in hand with non-mainstream mosques. I was not making an endorsement of licensing per se, but rather reaffirming the fact that its only the non-mainstream, unofficial mosques that are a problem. And again, I don't believe introducing a licensing system adds any value to identifying problem mosques. |
Title: Re: France closing mosques Post by freediver on Feb 24th, 2016 at 7:41pm
Do you see the irony in suggesting that officially licensed mosques are compatible with a militant insistence on secularism?

Truth, honesty, consistency - all infidel constructs. You speak Muslim truth. That's your abiding meme, Muslim truth. Infidel objectivity doesn't apply to the bruvvers and sistas.
