Guardian Unlimited | Special reports | British Muslims want Islamic law and prayers at work

A special Guardian/ICM poll based on a survey of 500 British Muslims found that a clear majority want Islamic law introduced into this country in civil cases relating to their own community. Some 61% wanted Islamic courts – operating on sharia principles – “so long as the penalties did not contravene British law”.

From civic activist to alleged murderer

MSNBC – From civic activist to alleged murderer

AMSTERDAM – “Hello, dear readers,” wrote the cheerful new contributor in the March 2002 issue of a local newsletter. He introduced himself as a volunteer staff member of a community center in a western suburb of Amsterdam dominated by working-class Moroccan immigrants.

Two and a half years later, Dutch police say, the same man gunned down Theo van Gogh on a street in Amsterdam, stood over the Dutch filmmaker’s body and calmly slit his throat with a black-handled butcher knife. The killer then impaled a five-page letter to the victim’s chest that pledged that Islam would “drive evil back to its dark hole using the sword.”

A civil war on terrorism

Economist.com | Charlemagne

The Dutch security services are taking no chances because three weeks ago Theo Van Gogh, a prominent Dutch film-maker who had made a movie attacking Islam’s attitude to women, was murdered on the streets of Amsterdam. And this was not any old street killing. Mr Van Gogh was dragged from his bike, shot six times and his head was nearly sliced off by an Islamic radical, who then impaled a five-page letter attacking the enemies of Islam on the chest of his dying victim. Ayaan Hirsi Ali, a Dutch politician of Somali Muslim origin who was repeatedly threatened in the letter, is also in hiding and, unlike Mr Wilders, has not re-appeared in parliament. Other prominent politicians and even some journalists now have permanent armed protection. �You’re nobody as a columnist unless you have an armed guard,� jokes one eminent Amsterdamer.

NRC Handelsblad – Scholieren: Terroristen gedragen zich als sekteleden

,,In alle commentaren waren er steeds twee verklaringen”, zegt hij. ,,De eerste was: dit is wraak op het rijke westen, op het christendom, op de kruistochten. En de tweede: het zijn psychopaten.”

Meertens, hoogleraar sociale psychologie aan de Universiteit van Amsterdam, denkt dat er een derde verklaring is die dichter bij de werkelijkheid komt.

NRC Handelsblad – Rubrieken: Wat zingt?: Relle en knalle

Het laatste woord is aan wijsgeer-rapper Zuen. ‘Wat is goed, wat is slecht? Wat is krom, wat is recht?’ vraagt hij zich af. De Prediker zou het hem niet kunnen verbeteren. Ook hij heeft zo zijn nare ervaringen, vooral weer met de politie, maar ook hij blikt er met humor op terug: ‘Ik werd behandeld als een drie, maar ik was een dikke tien.’ (Het moest rijmen op ‘ik heb het zelf gezien’, vandaar.)

Pakistan bans Newsweek over Van Gogh article

AMSTERDAM � A court in Pakistan has banned the latest edition of US news magazine Newsweek because an article about murdered Dutch filmmaker Theo van Gogh was said to desecrate the Koran.

BBC reported that Islamic parties objected to the article ‘Clash of Civilisations’ because they said it was biased against Muslims. A judge in Islamabad ordered that all copies of the 22 November issue of the magazine in Pakistan be destroyed.

Liberales.be – De islam verkrampt van de pijn – Hafida Ashrawi

De islam is ziek: hij bevat zo veel etterende wonden die gezuiverd dienen te worden vooraleer hij kan genezen. Die etterende wonden zijn het onrecht dat vrouwen wordt aangedaan. Tarik Fraihi wordt te pas te onpas opgevoerd als een �denker met moslimroots�. Zoals zo vele moslims schittert ook hij in het minimaliseren en ontkennen van de problemen van moslimvrouwen en -meisjes. Sterker nog, de fout ligt niet bij de moslims maar bij de autochtonen die alleen horen wat ze willen horen en zien wat ze willen zien.

Maroc.NL – ‘Angst blokkeert onze toekomst’

Tarik Fraihi door Koen Vidal

‘Vrouwenbesnijdenissen en gedwongen huwelijken zijn ontoelaatbaar. Lul daar niet over. Maak een wet en verbied ze”Ik verzeker u dat 99 procent van de Belgische moslimgemeenschap ook tegen de boerka is. Waarover moeten we dan nog discussi�ren?’

Na de moord op Theo van Gogh begrijpt filosoof-auteur-activist Tarik Fraihi nog minder dan voordien waarom geweld en waanbeelden het integratiebeleid gijzelen. ‘Eerst wachten we tot de etter uit de maatschappij drupt en dan schieten we in paniek. Als we van de botsing der beschavingen het vertrekpunt van ons denken maken, zullen we nooit tot een dialoog en ook nooit tot oplossingen komen.’
