Muslims Alarmed
as Germany Plans Islamist Database

BERLIN (Reuters)
- Germany said Thursday it would create a central database on suspected radical
Islamists, provoking concern from the country's large Muslim community.
Interior
Minister Otto Schily also announced plans to boost the fight against terrorism
by pooling intelligence from the three national security agencies in a new joint analysis center.
The moves,
announced after two days of talks between Schily and interior ministers from the
16 states or 'Laender', are designed to strengthen Germany's defenses against
terrorism by making its complex security structure work more efficiently.
Germany has
stepped up its guard against radical Islamists since 2001, when three of the
suicide hijackers involved in the Sept. 11 attacks on the United States turned
out to be Arab students from Hamburg.
Authorities are
investigating about 150 cases involving alleged Islamic militants, and have
conducted several prominent trials.
But a Muslim
leader, reacting to news of the database, said innocent Muslims risked falling
under suspicion unless the term 'Islamist' was properly defined.
All of the Muslims are suffering from abuse.

Not equal are those believers who sit
(at home) and receive no hurt,
and
those who strive and fight
in the cause of Allah with their goods and their persons.
Allah hath granted a grade higher
to
those who strive and fight
with their goods and persons than to those who sit (at home).
Unto all (in Faith) Hath Allah
promised good: But
those who strive and fight
Hath He distinguished above those who sit (at home) by a special reward.
002.216
Fighting is prescribed for you,
and ye dislike it. But it is possible that ye dislike
a thing which is good for you.
047.004 Therefore, when ye meet the
Unbelievers (in fight), smite at their
necks [behead them]
That is mental abuse. It's not right!
019.083 Seest thou not that We have
set the Evil Ones on against the unbelievers,
to incite them with fury? Seest thou not? that it is the
Muslims who are the ones being incited with fury?
"When you speak
about Islamism, you have to clarify what you mean by it. We are concerned that
every Muslim could fall under this catch-all term, which is unacceptable," said
Nadeem Elyas, chairman of the Central Council of Muslims in Germany.
"We're worried
that people may be caught up arbitrarily who have nothing to do with
terrorism. By arbitrarily, I mean at the discretion of officials or
authorities, which would be a violation of data protection rules."
The allah of the Koran [which is the very heart of
Islam] makes himself perfectly clear. He repetitiously demands that his
followers slay the 'infidels'. Let 'allah' speak for himself...as he has
authority above any thing any Muslim has to say.
Because the Muslims who are claiming that they would not
take part in terrorism...are the 'lesser' servants of their 'allah'. He
says so} 004.095
A spokesman for
the federal data protection commissioner said it was important to establish
clear rules on who could enter or view data on suspects, and how long entries
would be held in the system.
Because of its
historic experience of Nazi and Communist dictatorship, Germany has strict rules
on data protection and on separating the functions of the police and the
intelligence services.
With its federal
structure, it also has more than 30 bodies responsible for security -- a federal
crime office and two spy agencies, plus police and domestic intelligence
services in every state.
To avoid
duplication and the risk of vital information falling between the cracks, Schily
last month proposed bringing the state services under the direct control of
their federal equivalents. But the idea has been vigorously resisted by interior
ministers in the 16 Laender.
The national
police union said it was baffling to ordinary Germans why such questions were
still being ponderously thrashed out nearly three years after Sept. 11. "One
can only hope that international terrorism will show due consideration for
German thoroughness," it said in a statement.
The world has a decision to make here. Separate
the religions...or deal with a blood-bath. Because there are always going
to be those Muslims...who want to be the 'greater', not the 'lessor' servants
of their 'allah'. 004.095
These are the facts and the 'moderate' Muslims are not
willing to admit to them. Let their own 'allah' speak...robbing them of
any argument....so that the world can get down to the business of facing the
Truth. Peoples lives are at stake. So is freedom.
Where is the ACLU on this one?
The ACLU says the Patriot Act is
threatening the ability of America's non-profit charities to do their
essential work by requiring them to check their employees against a "black
list" in order to receive donations from a government-run charitable program.
In a letter to the head of the program, the ACLU said it will reject an
anticipated $500,000 in funds. "In this climate of fear and intimidation, we
will act not only on our behalf, but on behalf of our nation's non-profits, to
defend ourselves against John Ashcroft and a
government that tramples on the Constitution in the name of
national security," ACLU Chief Anthony Romero said.
Which issue is more serious?
009.029
Fight those who believe not in Allah
nor the Last Day,
nor hold that forbidden which hath been forbidden by Allah and His Messenger,
nor acknowledge the religion of Truth, (even if they are) of the
People of the Book,
until they pay the Jizya with willing submission,
and feel themselves subdued.
<--That is violent religious discrimination. It is mental cruelty to
Muslims, brainwashing them into committing violence towards non-Muslims.
009.005 When the forbidden months are
past, then fight and
slay
the Pagans wherever ye find them,
and seize them, beleaguer them, and
lie in wait for them in every stratagem (of war).
002.191 Slay
them wherever ye catch them
005.033
The punishment
of those who wage
war against Allah
and His Messenger
[who commands.... when they ''go
abroad''
004.094}
take no prisoners until "after
they subdue the land''
008.067}
which
actually....is a command to "wage
war"]
is:
execution, or crucifixion, or
the cutting off of hands and feet
I ask the American Civil Liberties Union} Who is
trampling the United States Constitution more so?
Where is their wisdom to know the difference? and do
they really care?
If not? Then let the U.S. government send them
packing to live under some other constitution!
