LAUNCHING OF RABIA TV CHANNELS

Launching of Rabia TV Channels

rabia

Yusuf al-Qaradawi, President of the International Union of Muslim Scholars, recently inaugurated the “Rabia” satellite channel.

He insisted on the importance of resistance against the military coup and called on all Egyptians, Arabs, Muslims and free people around the world to work on banning injustice and aggression.

“These words are directed to our brothers who launched the “Al-Rabi’a’Adawiyya” channel. We call on our brothers around the world to be by their side, support them, protect them, and assist them in what they are doing. We ask God to bring everyone around guidance, bring together hearts around piety, and souls around love. We wish that all efforts are made to achieve good and good works”.

“Rabia, the chain of freedom” chain officially began broadcasting its programs from Turkey.

The Rabia, and its little yellow hand, have become a rallying cry for the Muslim Brotherhood and their supporters.

Beyond solidarity with victims of repression, the Rabia has a mystical meaning. Each finger of the Tamkeen hand represents a step in the taking of power.

THE MUSLIM ASSOCIATION OF SWEDEN – SVERIGES MUSLIMSKA FORBUND (SMUF)

The Muslim Association of Sweden – Sveriges Muslimska Forbund (SMuF)

05.04.2015 La rédaction

The Muslim Association of Sweden claims to represent at least 70,000 Swedish Muslims, i.e. the majority of Muslims in Sweden. It further claims that it does not belong to the Muslim Brotherhood, but is only inspired by its values.

Mahmoud Aldebe has been for a long time one of the Association representatives.

In April 2006, he sent a letter to various Swedish political parties requesting that specific rights apply to Muslim students and that the Swedish Law of divorce do not apply to Muslims.

On 30 January 2009, Youssef Al Qaradawi, the spiritual leader of the Brotherhood, declared on Al Jazeera that Jews extermination by the Nazis is a “divine punishment” and that if “Allah wants it, the same thing will be done again by the hand of believers” (Al-Jazeera TV, 30 January 2009)

These statements caused a good deal of commotion in Scandinavia, and most religious leaders distanced themselves from these statements.

Except Mahmoud Aldebe who declared that “Muslims can see the difference between Muslims and Jews and Israel as a State.” (Dagens Nyheter, 16 February 2009).

An answer that has nothing to do with the polemic, but points to the absolute loyalty of Mahmoud Aldebe toward the spiritual leader of the Brotherhood

Since 2010, the new representative of the Association is Tahir Akan.

In November 2014, the United Arab Emirates included the Muslim Association of Sweden / Sveriges Muslimska Forbund (SMuF) on the list of terrorist organizations.

ANAS HAJJAR

Anas Hajjar

04.04.2015 La rédaction

Anas Hajjar was born in Damascus (Syria) in 1969.

He moved to Finland in 1988 and studied medicine.

On 9 November 2010, he was elected as Imam of the Islamic Society of Finland, following the death of Imam Khodr Chehab.

According to the Imam, sexual acts outside marriage are a sin. Hajjar has nothing against cutting a thief’s hand. Regarding imams’ training, he states that Muslims cannot receive religious instruction from non-Muslims. Hajjar condemns certain aspects of the Islamic State, but does not give further details about them.

These stances do not prevent him from being described by the media as moderate and open to interreligious dialogue.

In November 2014, the United Arab Emirates declared his Suomen Islam-seurakunta (Finnish Islamic Association) association as a terrorist organization.

In 2015, the Finnish public television, Yle, entrusted to Anas Hajjar and Jaakko Hameen-Anttila (who translated the Qur’an into Finnish) the preparation of a series of 60 episodes consisting of read the Quran from the first to the last page and “discussing it”. In the course of an interview by the BBC which is considering buying the series, Jaakko Hameen-Anttila explains: “Iman Hajjar finds considers the practical side and contemporary importance of the text, while I see a historical work in it, which relates to the period of its creation”.

By entrusting this gigantic educational mission to the leader of the Muslim Brotherhood, Finland breaks its tie with its 500-year-old Muslim community, which does not have a political vision of Islam.

RACHID MESLI

Rachid Mesli

04.04.2015 La rédaction

A lawyer in Criminal Law in Algeria, Rachid Mesli has defended many detainees following the cessation of the legislative electoral process in January 1992.

According to his biography, he was kidnapped by security forces on 31 July 1996, and then detained for three years after being repeatedly beaten, threatened, and convicted following a trial that “clearly violated international standards for a fair trial “according to Amnesty International. He was later sentenced to 20 years of imprisonment in absentia in Algeria.

The site Rue 89 posted an article praising him and explained why Algeria is after him:

“I have always embarrassed the authorities of my country by taking care of political prisoners. They went mad when I submitted the files of Abbassi Madani and Ali Belhadj in 2001 to the Working Group on Arbitrary Detention, which recognized that the two FIS (Islamic Salvation Front) leaders had been detained following an unfair trial. Last year, the Human Rights Committee also condemned Algeria for these same cases. “(Rue 89)

Rachid Mesli moved to Geneva in 2000.

For a long time, he was the spokesman of the Arab Commission on Human Rights, which co-publishes an anti-Semitic leaflet since 2002 called: “The Jewish-Nazi Manifesto of Ariel Sharon”.

He co-founded Al Karama in 2004, a foundation whose links with Al Qaeda and its admirers are regularly questioned.

In 2014, Alkarama Foundation was included on the list of terrorist organizations issued by the United Arab Emirates.

MOHAMED-TAÏEB SAGHROUNI

Mohamed-Taïeb Saghrouni

01.04.2015 La rédaction

Mohamed-Taïeb Saghrouni is the UOIF Regional Delegate – North.

He is also the president of the “Tunisiens des deux rives” Association (Tunisians on Both Shores).

According to Mohamed Louizi, who has long been a member of the Muslim Brotherhood in Northern France, Mohamed-Taïeb Saghrouni is the man behind Amar Lasfar. He is also his ideological foundation.

“(Behind) Amar Lasfar, hides another serious and scowling face, that of Mohammed-Taïeb Saghrouni, a face which should raise serious concerns. This man is a living memory and a very active member of the qotbist school of thought. He was also the “guardian of the seal of allegiance” in the region, and I cannot confirm that it is no longer the case. Until 2006, one could not be co-opted to join the brotherhood, without his blessing. In Egypy, Mahmoud Ezzat used to hide behind the Supreme Guide, Mohamed Badie. In France, behind the ideological background of Amar Lasfar, there has always been, of course, Mohammed- Taïeb Saghrouni!”

The qotbist position of Mohamed-Taïeb Saghrouni Association does not even hide.

The “Tunisiens des deux rives” Association regularly carries out spectacular actions to support the Muslim Brotherhood. In the image below, it amalgamates Muslim Brotherhood prisoners with prisoners dressed in orange. These clothes are typically put on by American prisoners and by those to be beheaded by the Islamic State.

ALKARAMA FOUNDATION

Alkarama Foundation

03.03.2015 La rédaction

Alkarama was established in July 2004 by Abdul Rahman Al-NaimiRachid Mesli and Abbas Aroua, with the objective of defending the Arab regime victims and victims of fight against terrorism before the UN Human Rights Council.

However, reality is quite different for the US administration:

“Al-Naimi is a terrorism financier established in Qatar. He has been providing funds and material support to Al-Qaeda in Syria, Iraq, Somalia and Yemen for the past ten years. (Together with Humayqani), he is at the heart of a network supporting and funding terrorism. “

In order to start the organization in 2007, the leaders sought the assistance of Mourad Dhina. At that time, the latter had just given up on militancy within the Islamic Salvation Front (Algeria FIS), which then appeared to him as “less active”. Several years earlier, Dhina had also been a member of the Islamic Front for Jihad (Fida), an organization responsible for killing hundreds of journalists, intellectuals, trade unionists and Algerian political figures.

A resident of Switzerland, Dhina was arrested on 16 January 2012 at the Orly airport, where he had just arrived to deliver his version of the 1992 coup. He was the subject of an international arrest warrant issued in 2003 by the Algerian authorities, accusing him of “committing terrorist acts in Zurich, Switzerland, between 1997 and 1999 “. Following a considerable support campaign led by the “Indigènes de la République” movement, and thanks to his defense lawyer, Antoine Comte, Dhina was not extradited to Algeria, but nevertheless spent six months in la Prison de la Santé in Paris.

In 2007, Alkarama began working with the United Nations treaty monitoring bodies, specifically with the UN Committee against Torture (CAT), the Human Rights Commission (EHRC), and the Universal Periodic Review (UPR), developed by the newly created Human Rights Council (HRC), by relaying alternative information relating to the implementation, by the Arab States, of various relevant treaties, at each stage of their review process. In this context, Alkarama provided CAT/ EHRC experts as well as HRC members with access to civil society information along with real-life cases of violations of several articles of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, the Convention against Torture and the Universal Charter on Civil and Political Rights.

Starting 2009, Alkarama launched an award for Human Rights defenders, which was mainly awarded to Islamic militants and their supporters. One of the most ambiguous beneficiaries of the award is AbdulElah Shyea, an admirer Al-Qaeda attacks in Europe.

According to the site Algerie Patriotique, Alkarama Foundation is funding three satellite TV channels “aimed at overthrowing the political regime in Algeria.” These channels are allegedly Al-Magharibia (managed by the son of Abassi Madani, who also owns a Qatari solar company), Al-Rachad (belonging to Rachad organization, which is managed by Mourad Dhina) and Al-Asr. Alkarama, which is self-funded according to its leaders including Qatari Al-Naimi, has spent, always according to Ennahar, more than one million Swiss francs in 2011 on what it is described as “humanitarian work”. It all suggests that the Islamic Salvation Front remaining members persist and consistently try to destabilize Algeria.
