Larbi Kechat at UOIF Meeting

23.05.2015 Fiammetta Venner

Larbi Kechat, the former Rector* of Addawa Mosque, was one of the speakers at the UOIF gathering.

His lecture was entitled “How to enjoy the blessed month nowadays”.

Larbi Kechat has long favored the Muslim Brothers in his mosque, even though his sermons were more radical.

In the eighties, the Addawa mosque sheltered the group of Meherzia Laabidi women for a long time. Then a dispute forced the group to leave. In 2011, Meherzia Laabidi was elected to the Tunisian Constituent Assembly on behalf of the Ennahdha movement and became the first vice-president of the Assembly.

Larbi Kechat received donations from many Muslim Brotherhoods for his mosque, including:

• Youssef Al Qaradawi
• Saïd Ramadan Al-Bouthi
• Omar Abdelkafy

*A battle is underway at Addawa Mosque to determine whether or not Larbi Kechat is the leader of the Mosque.

Tareq Al-Suwaidan Wants to Coach the Swiss

30.04.2015 La rédaction

At the invitation of the European Academy for Leaders Preparation, Tareq Al-Suwaidan, will be leading a coaching course in Switzerland in May 2015.

In 2007, his income as a conference speaker exceeded $ 1 million.

Tareq Al-Suwaidan is a star preacher and shows up on several Arab satellite channels.

The leader of the Muslim Brotherhood in Kuwait, Tareq Al-Suwaidan, is an active supporter of the Hamas Palestinian movement.

In a speech on 31 October 2014, at a fund-raising event for Palestine in Doha, he explained:

“I do not believe in the “clash of civilizations”, I rather believe in cultures integration, with one exception: the sons of Zion. They wanted our struggle with them to be a clash of civilizations, a shock for survival, a confrontation of existential order. Inshallah, we are ready for this shock, until the State of Israel, this geographical and historical anomaly, is erased. This State is a geographical and historical anomaly.

[…]

All the wars of history – from our Prophet Muhammad to date – have been triggered by the sons of Zion. All of them!

[…]

Our struggle with the sons of Zion requires more than just tears and donations. Our struggle with them will continue until either civilization triumphs: the Islamic civilization, with its peace, compassion, humanity and respect for all religions – a faith devoid of insolence and barbarity – or the repugnant and savage civilization of barbarism that the whole world is witnessing. They are so insolent that they do not care about what others say. Our struggle with them imposes jihad and not scattered efforts here and there.

[…]

We are not raising money for the Palestinians. Let it be clear. We are not raising money for the people of Gaza. The inhabitants of Gaza are the spearhead of this war, but the spearhead is nothing without the spear.” (Source: Memri)

In November 2014, Tareq Al-Suwaidan was scheduled to perform at the Muslim Fair in Brussels. This event was organized by the League of Muslims of Belgium (LMB), which is included on the list of terrorist organizations by the United Arab Emirates.

Close to the former Malay Deputy Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim and Said Ramadan Al Boutih, Tareq Al-Suwaidan has repeatedly made anti-Semitic statements.

The cabinet of Interior Minister Jan Jambon finally announced that the preacher is not welcome in Belgium, due to “his unacceptable anti-Semitic remarks”. Tareq Al Suwaidan replied on his Facebook page that this decision was taken “under the pressure of the Zionist lobby “.

Nicolas Sarkozy and UOIF

07.04.2015 La rédaction

Nicolas Sarkozy has repeatedly tried to reassure those worried about the Republic endorsing an organization such as the Union of Muslim Organizations in France (UOIF). “They are only Orthodox Muslims,” he once soberly declared in Complement d’enquete, a documentary which however did not give the most brilliant image of the concerned organization [1]. In his book, Sarkozy refuses to believe there is a “double discourse” or even a so-called radicalism within the organization: “I add that UOIF leaders have always respected the Republic and do not recognize themselves in the radical image projected about them. I chose to believe them “[2]. The former Minister of the Interior believes them so much that he presents the UOIF simply as a “fundamentalist” organization, and even as a movement against Islamic and secular extremism: “If Fouad Alaoui denounces both extremisms, Secular extremism and Muslim extremism, I cannot and will not blame him. (…) Both must be rejected with equal intensity! “[3]

Never mind the term “secular extremism” – which is perfectly improper, as it suggests that the desire to strictly separate politics and religious refers to religious … extremism! More serious is the fact that Nicolas Sarkozy puts on the same level what he calls “secular extremism” (whose extremism consists of aiming to separate politics and religion in the interests of all) and Muslim extremism (which kills liberties every day, when it does not simply kill.

Mohamed Youssef and the Rabia Sign

06.04.2015 Fiammetta Venner

Egypt Kung Fu champion, Mohamed Youssef, was suspended for wearing a T-shirt with the Rabia logo.

Gamal al-Gazzar, spokesman for the Egyptian Kung Fu Federation, described Mohamed Youssef gesture as “unacceptable”.
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.

Step 1 : Presentation of Islam.
Step 2 : Selection of future “Muslim Brotherhood” members
Step 3 : Confrontation and specialization
Step 4 : Domination and Tamkeen
