Goals of Islam

Of course, when non-Muslims lay this out, they're "Islamophobes" -- so then what is Shaikh Abdurrahman Abdul-Khaliq? Well, for one thing he is refreshingly candid. From Islamweb (thanks to Nicolei):

The fourth reason for sending Prophet Mohammad is to establish Islam as the dominant religion above all, till the Day of Judgment. Allah said, what translated means: "He it is Who has sent His Messenger (Mohammad) with Guidance and the Religion of Truth (Islam), that He may establish (make) it (Islam) superior over all religions. And All-Sufficient is Allah as a Witness." [48:28] Also, "It is He Who has sent His Messenger with Guidance and the Religion of Truth to establish (make) it superior over all religions even though the Polytheists hate (it)." [9:33]
To establish it means to make apparent its domination above all religions. Allah made this promise a reality whenever Muslims were seeking victory by being well-prepared with the right belief and material needs. Muslims dominated all the powers and religions of the world with reasoning first and then using the sword. Above mentioned are a short summary of the goals of the Message of the Prophet Mohammad.

Clerical body calls for 'Islamic' Iraq
No surprise here. From the Washington Times, with thanks to Jeffrey Imm and Ali Dashti:

Iran's Assembly of Experts, the body of powerful Muslim clerics that chooses the country's supreme leader, opened its 12th session Sunday calling for an Islamic republic in Iraq.
In his opening speech, the assembly's speaker, Ayatollah Ali Meshkini, urged Iraqi leaders to unite to expel foreign troops in Iraq and establish a government based on the principles of Islam similar to the one in Iran, according to reports in the Tehran Times yesterday.

The Iraqi leadership must "expel the occupiers and establish an Islamic government," the ayatollah said.

He also said that the United States and Britain were responsible for "the ruthless massacre of the Iraqi people and must be punished by a competent court."

New York: Yemeni Cleric Said to Urge Revenge Against Americans
Revenge for his arrest. From the New York Times, with thanks to Jeffrey Imm:

Federal prosecutors in Brooklyn claimed yesterday that a Yemeni cleric accused of major terrorism financing had issued a "public call for revenge against Americans for his arrest."
The cleric, Sheik Mohammed Ali Hassan al-Moayad, is in custody in Brooklyn awaiting trial Jan. 10 in federal court on charges of funneling money to Osama bin Laden.

A court document filed by the prosecutors quoted Mr. Moayad as denying what he called muddled American charges. "And the American side must be cautioned that it is not in their benefit to antagonize all the people," the document quoted the sheik as saying.

"They will not be spared the revenge even if it is late in coming," the quotation continued. "And as they showed us that they have power, we hope to see good manners from them. And God has destroyed uncounted people before them. And he will definitely revenge us."

The terrorism financing charges were announced in March 2003 by Attorney General John Ashcroft. Officials said that the sheik had funneled millions of dollars to Al Qaeda, some of it raised in Brooklyn, and that he had boasted of personally delivering $20 million to Mr. bin Laden.

Mr. Moayad's comments appeared to come from an interview he gave to a Yemeni news organization while he was held in Germany before being extradited to the United States in November.

His lawyer, Howard L. Jacobs, questioned the translation in an interview yesterday. He said he had not heard that his client had made such comments until he was told about the allegation by a reporter.

"I find it totally inconsistent with the behavior I've seen since I've been representing him," Mr. Jacobs said, adding that his client had a peaceful and anti-terrorist record.

Don't they always?
