1) Islam is attempting to be defeated by ‘Sufis’ supported by think-tanks such as the ‘Rand Institute’.

Part of the RIM line of thinking is to invent an Islam that is completely detached from politics. Instead of looking at those Muslim leaders, such as Imam Hasan al-Banna, who saw the modern world , colonialism and Western domination and developed a system based on Islamic principals to reform Muslim societies based on the principals of the Sunnah, and admiring them, RIMS call this “Islamist Modernism” as they sit in non-Muslim countries in their affluence.

The historic role of many Muslim organizations in America has been to raise money for and support groups in Muslim countries seeking to reform their societies based on the principals of al-Islam. RIMS reject this. They want no part of helping any Islamic Movement and even slander those engaged in the revival. Simultaneously they are at peace with many corrupt Muslim regimes and are joined at the hip in fighting the Islamic Movement which they both seek to destroy. They cede the public and political life of Muslim societies to secular forces and opt to relegate the role of Islam to the home and family life.

In America RIMS use their position to claim the role of good harmless upper-class Western Muslims who have no affinity for, or attachment to, those misguided Third World Muslim movements trying to establish Sharia and remove tyrants. While the Islamic Revival is working in the trenches of Muslim societies to reform; RIMS prefer to sit in circles and make dhikr and make duah that one day a miracle will occur and everything will change. Those RIMS in America sit in coffee shops using language strange to Muslims, but well-known to grad students of liberal arts colleges, to distance themselves from the dirty masses in the revival.

Which category do we put people such as Umar Lee, a white convert to Islam, dictating to us what Islam really means, while wearing his beret backwards? Muslims will inshaAllah have justice, but it will be on our terms Umar Lee. It won’t be in the terms of ‘revolution’ or ‘democracy’ with ‘political parties’. If a 100 years of history haven’t shown you that, then its time to write up “Rise and Fall of the American-Convert-pseudo-Salafi-Worldview”.

Our Sufi forefathers fought actual Jihad, our grandfathers are buried in Muslims graveyards and we visit them. ‘Sufism’ as a tradition contains wisdom from 1400 years of thought and action (including battle). Your ideas came from your own ego, yesterday.

One of the aspects of the Dajjalic freemasonic system is to create and promote two sides which are, ostensibly, against each other, but driven by the same agendas and methodologies. In other words, the world is filled with opposing teams, but they are playing the same game, they follow the same rules, and their continued success is connected to when the game succeeds.

Succeeding in ‘politics’ got us Ellison, that turned out well didn’t it? Ellison voted ‘present’ on HRES 34.

Succeeding in ‘politics’ got the Gazan people, Hamas. Where is their victory? Are the body counts truly affecting any side of this?

Who was it that killed Aslan Mashkadov, who fought a real sufi jihad? Which burning cancer came in to destroy that righteous movement which led to numerous successes?

We don’t have to be ‘Rand Institute Muslims’ to recognize that Hamas is an entity which exists for its own nationalistic agendas. And last time I checked, nationalistic agendas are in direct contradiction with the Khalifat. The choice Umar Lee gives us is: either buy into this new age of “Islamic states”, which will one day be able to exist for longer than 6 months, through the power of Allah, and ‘elect’ a Khalifa through their new-found-brotherhood-ness or…. be a sell-out. This is ridiculous.

It is above and beyond the ‘Rand System’ to create entities and personalities who simply advocate for Islam as a ‘side’ in this twisted game, rather than recognizing how deep the rabbit hole goes.

How do you establish Shariat through a constitution and by-laws? How do you establish Shariat without a Khalifa? Where is their nominee? Where is his success?

Umar Lee’s political positions are so confused between his actual genuine anger and post-modern government rhetoric that in one of his online videos, I would think that the first part of his video (speaking of the terrorism of the West), would make fun of the second part of his video (whose height of direction is to suggest Muslims in the West to stop the blockade of aide.. the how is not specified.).

This is your jihad Umar? A blog and a video? And you stand ready to criticize, who exactly?

Umar Lee, I suggest you watch this video of someone who actually fought for Islams sake:
