Officials in the Netherlands say the Dutch-Moroccan suspect — accused of killing Van Gogh on a busy Amsterdam street earlier this month — hosted gatherings of immigrants influenced by the Egyptian-founded Takfir ideology, which strives for a purified form of Islam and condemns anything or anyone deemed an enemy of the faith. [That includes ALL who believe in the Son of God. The allah of the Koran says so} 009.030 - 037.151 - 037.152 - 019.088 - 019.089

The "spiritual leader" of the Amsterdam meetings, officials say, was Syrian-born Redouan al-Issar, who has apparently fled the Netherlands. Authorities allege he had contacts with suspects linked to May 2003 suicide bombings in Casablanca, Morocco, which killed 33 people.

"They place their own actions in terms of jihad (holy war)," Dutch Justice Minister Piet Hein Donner told The Associated Press. "To that extent, there is jihad in the Netherlands."

They are "placing the terms" of the Koran: 004.094} O ye who believe! When ye ''''go abroad'''' in the cause of Allah, investigate carefully, and say not to any one who offers you a salutation: "Thou art none of a believer!" Therefore carefully investigate.  009.005} 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.  008.067} It is not fitting for a prophet that he should have prisoners of war [slay them] until he hath thoroughly subdued the land.  009.039} Unless ye go forth, He will punish you with a grievous penalty, and put others in your place.

There are self-professing 'scholars' [many of them] who claim these words don't really mean what they're saying. Meanwhile - there's a whole new international generation - proving exactly what they mean.

Mat 12:33 The tree is known by his fruit.

Alleged Takfir connections have popped up elsewhere over the past year, including France and Jordan. In Belgium, security forces are looking into possible links between the Nov. 2 slaying of Van Gogh and recent anonymous threats against politicians.

The uncompromising Takfir doctrine has been around for decades — denouncing even moderate Muslims as "infidels."

004.095 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. 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 [war] which is good for you and that ye love a thing [peace] which is bad for you?

009.039 Unless ye go forth, He will punish you with a grievous penalty, and put others in your place.

Even the allah of the Koran calls the 'moderate' Muslims liars.

But global communications and louder militant voices could be offering fresh energy. It's part of larger worries about rising Islamic extremism in an Internet age when texts and sermons reach nearly everywhere and peripheral movements can quickly gather momentum.

The immigration officials and the preachers of "Diversity' and "Tolerance" and also the 'asylum' defenders are the most responsible parties.  For decades the Vatican has been preaching that "Islam is a religion of peace" - leaving the Son of God to do so [because you cannot be friends with those who call the Son of God an abomination and be friends with the Son also]

The asylum defenders have done nothing but attack the gracious countries who have bent over backwards for immigrants - instead of the oppressive regimes they flee from [bring the very culture they flee from with them]

ALL of Islam is commanded to slay those who believe in the Son of God:

009.030 The Jews call 'Uzair a son of Allah, and the Christians call Christ the son of Allah. That is a saying from their mouth; (in this) they but imitate what the unbelievers of old used to say. Allah's curse be on them: how they are deluded away from the Truth!

 

037.151 Is it not that they say, from their own invention,

 

037.152 Allah has begotten children? but they are liars!

 

019.088 They say: (Allah) Most Gracious has begotten a son!

 

019.089 Indeed ye have put forth a thing most monstrous!

009.005 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.

047.004 Therefore, when ye meet the Unbelievers (in fight), smite at their necks. [Behead them]

002.191 Slay them wherever ye catch them

009.039 Unless ye go forth, He will punish you with a grievous penalty, and put others in your place.

1Jo 2:22 Who is a liar but he that denieth that Jesus is the Christ? He is antichrist, that denieth the Father and the Son.

Mixing Islam into societies where the majority claims to believe in the Son of God is a SURE recipe for a major bloodbath! - FOR ALL!

There are plenty of Islamic nations for Muslims to live in. Separate them - or prepare for what's coming.

Mat 25:32 Before Him shall be gathered all nations: and He shall separate them one from another

"Authorities are looking in the wrong direction," said Azzaz Tamimi, head of the Institute of Islamic Political Thought in London. "Many Muslims feel under pressure. This pressure and anger can make people radicalized. Extremism is not just with big terrorist groups. It's out on the streets and radical movements are easily tapping into it."

The authorities along with non-Muslim psychiatrists need to look in the direction of the Koran. Is it a good book to be handing to children? a whole generation of them?

Freedom House, a New York-based human rights group, is preparing a report that it says examines documents distributed in some American mosques containing denunciations against non-Muslims and fellow Muslims who show religious tolerance.

004.095 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. 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 [war] which is good for you and that ye love a thing [peace] which is bad for you?

Takfir, literally "excommunication, " refers to scorning societies perceived as corrupt and deserving retribution. Hijra refers to withdrawing from anything considered against Islam.

The name was coined by Egypt's government-controlled press in the 1970s in an attempt to make it scary and alien to mainstream Muslims. Takfir is often described as part of the founding forces for today's major terrorist networks. But it's not easy to draw clear connections.

2Cr 10:4 The weapons [Scriptures] of our warfare are not carnal, but mighty through God to the pulling down of strong holds;

Hbr 4:12 For the word of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any two-edged sword

Islamic researchers and scholars say terror groups may draw general encouragement from Takfir's militant dogma. But Takfir's core followers — an unknown number that could be in the thousands, experts say — are too renegade and insular to offer practical support to networks such as al-Qaida.

Takfir denunciations, in fact, often cover anyone who is not a committed follower, including al-Qaida leader Osama bin Laden — although his chief lieutenant, the Egyptian-born Ayman al-Zawahri, is reportedly a Takfir follower and has lectured on its tenets.

In 1995, an alleged Takfir gunman attacked bin Laden's compound in Sudan. Five years later, a suspected Takfir attacker killed 20 worshippers in a mosque as part of feuds with rival Islamic sects in the country.

"They consider themselves the only Muslim group," said Diaa Rashwan, a Cairo-based expert on Muslim militants.

And here lies a serious challenge for authorities.

The Takfir movement's limitless suspicion of outsiders and elusive tactics create huge complications for monitoring and infiltrating.

004.094 O ye who believe! When ye ''go abroad'' in the cause of Allah, investigate carefully, and say not to any one who offers you a salutation: "Thou art none of a believer!" Therefore carefully investigate.  <--that is not a 'Takfir' command. It comes straight from the mouth of their allah.

Among Takfir precepts is "taqiyya," or use of deceptions that include blending into non-Muslim societies. This led some U.S. investigators to suspect Takfir links to some of the Sept. 11, 2001, hijackers, though no clear evidence emerged.

There's also worry about a trend toward smaller, independent Takfir cells that follow their own random agendas.

"Now we have a new generation of fundamentalists," said Mohamed Salah, an expert on Islamic radicals and the Cairo bureau chief of the pan-Arab newspaper Al-Hayat. "The atmosphere in the world now makes it easy for someone to get two or three people together and form a group."

Takfir has cropped up on the fringes of recent terrorist probes.

In Jordan, one of 13 suspects accused of plotting to bomb American targets earlier this year is an alleged Takfir adherent. Moroccan officials have targeted Takfir followers in raids. Last year, French anti-terrorist agents detained more than a dozen suspected Takfir members.

Also last year, Lebanese forces arrested dozens of suspects accused of planning to assassinate the U.S. ambassador and other plots. Some suspects were reportedly Takfir followers.

Belgian investigators, meanwhile, are looking for possible ties between the Van Gogh slaying and threats against political figures including the justice minister and a lawmaker with Moroccan parents, Mimount Bousakla, who has challenged conservative Muslim social codes. Bousakla went into hiding after receiving anonymous calls that included a threat "to ritually slaughter her," Belgian officials said Wednesday.

Van Gogh was shot and then his throat was slashed. He had recently collaborated with Somali-born Ayaan Hirsi Ali, a parliament member, on a film criticizing Islam's treatment of women. She also has moved to a secret location.

"You can't dismiss the influence of Takfir on contemporary terrorism at some level," said Omid Safi, a religion professor at Colgate University. "It brands everyone it opposes as an infidel — including Muslims — and that makes it that much easier to inflict violence on them."

But he cautioned against making direct bonds between Takfir dogma and terrorist networks.

"It's there as part of the overall pathology of radical thinking. ... Takfir is just part of the destructive tendencies occurring now in Islam," Safi said.

There is no direct evidence showing how deeply Takfir ideology has infiltrated al-Qaida and other major Islamic radical factions, said Peter Wright, a lawyer and researcher at the University of North Carolina who has studied the movement's influence on terrorism.

But Takfir could be increasingly squeezed by authorities struggling to control radical Islam and wage "a pre-emptive war," said Wright.

"In the present political climate, guilt by ideological association appears to be the path of least resistance," he said. "If you express certain thoughts or maintain an association with individuals who do, you are a suspect."
