'Kill Ahmadis who don't convert to mainstream Islam' leaflets found in London mosque.

'Kill Ahmadis who don't convert to mainstream Islam' leaflets found in London mosque. (ET).

Leaflets calling for the killing of Ahmadis have been found in a London mosque, according to BBC News.

The flyers, which say Ahmadis should face death if they refuse to convert to Islam, were displayed in Stockwell Green mosque in London. The leaflets are believed to have been authored by Yusuf Ludhianvi, ex-head of Khatme Nabuwat, a group which lists the mosque as its overseas office. A mosque trustee, however, denied having seen it before and suggested they were fakes or left there with malicious intent.

Four trustees of the charity listed in the documents manage the mosque, while two of the current owners of the mosque run centres affiliated to the group elsewhere in the UK. The mosque is also listed as an “overseas office” on the group’s website for Khatme Nabuwwat.

The leaflets state, “Those who refuse to convert to mainstream Islam within three days should face a “capital sentence” — or death penalty.” Written in English, the leaflets were found arranged in piles on a desk next to a shoe-rack, the usual place to display literature in mosques.

In 2011, the Stockwell Green mosque was accused of helping to promote acts of terror and hate in Pakistan, prompting a vehement denial from its then trustee Toaha Qureshi who claimed the mosque’s name had been “falsely used” on a website listed on hate literature advocating the murder of Ahmadis.

“We are very angry and furious about that. We do not have any linkage with this organisation that is promoting hate,” Qureshi said, claiming the mosque was an independent organisation which did not take any dictation by anybody.

Regarding the latest discovery of leaflets and alleged links between the mosque and Khatme Nabuwwat, Qureshi upheld, “There is a link that we only need when we need some guidance or literature on that particular issue, then we seek advice from them.”


“We have not published any pamphlet of that kind. This is nothing to do with our mosque. Someone might have put it there and taken from there with malicious intentions,” he added. Read the full story here.

New clampdown on 'improperly veiled' women in 'moderate' Iran.

New clampdown on 'improperly veiled' women in 'moderate' Iran.(NCRI).

The Iranian regime is launching a tough new clampdown on 'improperly veiled' women in 200 towns and cities across the regime.

It is the latest in a series of increasingly draconian restrictions of basic human rights under Hassan Rouhani's new 'moderate' rule.

Rouhani pledged during election campaign speeches that he 'would not allow any agent to question anyone in the street' and that 'girls should feel secure'.

But only four months later, the Headquarters for Promotion of Virtue and Prevention of Vice has announced improperly dressed women will be issued with official warning.

Cleric Hayder Zahraei, who is in charge of the nationwide plan, said: "This grand plan will be implemented in some 200 cities across the country. The plan will be expanded and fully implemented in society."

Brig. Genral Ahmadi Moghadam, commander of the State Security Forces, also said on August 12: "With Rouhani there will be no changes with regards to the veil."

On September 8 then issued an order to 'intensify dealing with women who are not properly dressed'.

"Moderate" Iranian regime to hang prisoner for second time after surviving first hanging.

"Moderate" Iranian regime to hang prisoner for second time after surviving first hanging.(NCRI).

A prisoner in Iran is to be hanged for the second time after he 'becomes well again' after surviving the first execution. The 37-year-old man named as Alireza M was hanged in Bojnourd prison last Wednesday.

His family went to collect his body the next day but he found him still breathing.

One family member told state-run website Jamejamonline: "We went to the coroner's office collect his body to prepare for a memorial service. But we found him alive again, which made his two daughters very happy."

Jamejamonline reported that people expected the prisoner who had been hanged on drug charges to be pardoned after surviving the execution, but one judiciary said that the death verdict means taking someone's life according to the law and since his life not was not taken on Wednesday the prisoner has to be executed one more time.

Alireza M had survived but he is now is on death row again to be executed once he gets well.

Since the sham presidential election in June, at least 240 prisoners have executed, including 10 women.

Meanwhile, just in Ghezel Hessar prison, 3000 prisoners are on the death row. To facilitate group hangings, the clerical regime has put up stages in Ghezel Hessar prison for concurrent hanging of 24 and covertly hangs a number of prisoners every week.

Concurrent with arbitrary executions, medieval punishments such as hand amputations, blinding and cutting off the ear complements the cycle of atrocity and terror in mullahs’ regime. Six verdicts of hand amputation in Shiraz, four sentences of stoning, including that of two women in Tabriz, and a decree to gouge out the eye and cut off the ear of an imprisoned laborer in Tehran, is another example of the atrocity of henchmen ruling Iran.

'Moderate Iran': Man sentenced to have eyes gouged out, ear cutoff.

"An Eye for an Eye"

'Moderate Iran': Man sentenced to have eyes gouged out, ear cutoff.(CNR).

NCRI - The Iranian regime's judiciary in Tehran has condemned a young man to have his eyes gouged and his right ear cutoff, a state-run daily Shraq reported.

The man identified by his first name Jamshid was convicted of deliberately pouring acid on the face of a girl named Shirin which caused her to lose eyesight and right ear.

The Iranian regime's judiciary officials have publicly defended the cutting off of hands and feet, the removal of a “defendant’s” eye, and even stoning as very real part of their judicial law.

On May 1, Mohammad-Javad Larijani, who was at the time the head Human Rights Council in the mullahs' judiciary said: " Retaliation and punishment are beautiful and necessary things. It’s a form of protection for the individual and civil rights of the people in a society. The executioner or the person carrying out the sentence is in fact very much a defender of human rights. One can say that there is humanity in the act of retaliation."

Rafsanjani Urges Insightful Efforts to Stop Religious Extremism in Region.(IIT)

Chairman of Iran’s Expediency Council Akbar Hashemi Rafsanjani, in a meeting with Turkish Parliament Speaker Cemil Cicek in Tehran on Sunday, urged sagacious religious leaders to prevent extremists from fueling tensions and sparking sectarian wars in the region, specially in the Muslim countries.

Rafsanjani pointed to the recent developments in the regional Muslim nations, and said, “Sagacious leaders should not allow extremists, specially the Salafis, to disturb people’s everyday life and living under religious pretexts.”

Rafsanjani also pointed to the political developments in Afghanistan, Pakistan, Iraq, Egypt, Tunisia, Syria, Yemen, Bahrain and other parts of the Muslim World, and said, “It is regrettable that these extremists are publicized as Islam’s voice in the world, while Islam is the religion of brotherhood, equality and respect for others’ beliefs and rights.”

The Turkish parliament speaker, for his part, voiced concern over the actions taken by radical groups to impair the relations between states and people, and said extremists have blocked the path of the regional Arab nations to democracy.

“A political winter has overwhelmed many countries and extremist groups do not let the sun of moderation shine for the Arab Spring in the sky of the governments’ political will.”

Earlier this year, former Iranian Foreign Minister Ali Akbar Salehi also issued a stern warning against the spread of a new wave of Islamophobia by the West and through its support for extremist and Takfiri groups, including the al-Qaeda, in Muslim countries.

“The West has created several radical groups under different names such as Takfiri, al-Qaeda, … in Muslim countries to portray Islam as a radical religion to the international community and propagate Islamophobia,” Salehi said, addressing a press conference in Tehran in August.
Salehi underlined that the arrogant powers are trying hard to spread Islamophobia throughout the world.Hmmm......Moderates yeah sure.

Senior Israeli minister: Iran is on course to develop a nuclear bomb in 6 months

Senior Israeli minister: Iran is on course to develop a nuclear bomb in 6 months.(JPost).

Iran is on course to develop a nuclear bomb within six months and time has run out for further negotiations, a senior Israeli minister was quoted as saying by Reuters on Friday.

The comments came as Iranian President Hassan Rouhanihas launched a "charm offensive" in recent days, expressing a willingness to negotiate on Iran's nuclear program.

US President Barack Obama has cautiously welcomed Rouhani's overtures. The positive tone in US-Iranian relations, which have been fraught since the 1979 Iranian Revolution, worries Israel. It is warning the Obama administration not to be seduced by Rouhani's charm offensive.

Jerusalem urged the world on Thursday not to be fooled by Rouhani’s smiles and to intensify sanctions against the regime until he takes concrete steps toward dismantling Tehran’s nuclear program.

“One should not be taken in by Rouhani’s deceptive words,” the Prime Minister’s Office said in a statement. “The same Rouhani boasted in the past how he deceived the international community with nuclear talks, even as Iran was continuing with its nuclear program.”

However, a White House spokesman said on Friday, that the US is ready to engage in talks "on the basis of mutual respect" with Iran about its disputed nuclear program as long as Tehran is willing to demonstrate that its program is for civilian purposes,

"We have had a number of engagements with the Iranians and we'll continue to have conversations on the basis of mutual respect," Josh Earnest, the deputy White House spokesman, told reporters aboard Air Force One.

"And over the course of those conversations there will be an opportunity for the Iranians to demonstrate through actions the seriousness with which they are pursuing this endeavor," Earnest said.

Obama and Rouhani will be in New York next week for a meeting of the UN General Assembly. The White House has said that an encounter between the two leaders is possible.

Earnest said there was no meeting scheduled between Obama and Rouhani next week.

His comments were the latest signal from the White House that it views Rouhani as potentially someone with whom it can do business.

Iran’s President Hassan Rouhani wrote an op-ed piece in the Washington Post.

Iran’s President Hassan Rouhani wrote an op-ed piece in the Washington Post. (Wapo).

In the piece, Rouhani defines the country’s nuclear program in terms of Iran’s demand for dignity and respect and a consequent role in the region and the world. Rouhani then suggests a broad road map for future negotiations with the United States. He implies that Iran and the U.S. could resolve the Iranian nuclear impasse and the Syrian conflict as part of that broad approach. “We need to aim higher,” Rouhani says.

Iran-US tango turning into waltz.

Iran-US tango turning into waltz.(Taz).By Dalga Khatinoglu, head of Trend Persian Service.

Prior to his visit to the United States, Iranian President Hassan Rouhani gave his first interview among the foreign media outlets to the NBC TV Channel, in which he claimed that he has all the necessary authority for any steps in discussions of the nuclear issue with the West.

It was the first time that an Iranian president says he has the full authority to make decisions over such a priority and strategic issue.

According to article 110 of the Iranian constitution, the right to make strategic and foreign policy decisions in Iran, mainly belongs to religious leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei.

"I still support the rules of diplomatic ethical conduct, as well as what I said years ago, a heroic flexible policy," Khamenei said recently at a meeting with generals of the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC).

Saying that 'years ago, he spoke of the heroic flexible policy', Ayatollah pointed to the book, which he has translated and published by him 44 years ago at the age of 30. This is the 'The peace treaty of Imam Hasan' about a peace treaty signed by the second Shia Imam Hasan ibn Ali and Caliph Muawiyah.
It was the first time when Khamenei used the term 'flexible policy' in relation to the West. Also for the first time in his speech on September 17 he demanded the IRGC did not interfere in politics.

During the eight-year presidency term of the former head of state Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, the IRGC turned into the most powerful organisation in both the political and economic spheres of the country. It should be recalled that in 2009, the opposition leaders accused the IRGC of interfering in the election results. IRGC generals repeatedly made ​​statements about the country's internal and external policies.

During Ahmadinejad's first presidency, seven ministers were IRGC generals and during his second presidency - six IRGC generals were holding the posts of ministers including the minister of oil.
Apparently, Iran's spiritual leader intends to provide Rouhani with all authority and hold back the IRGC which has great influence in the country, from trying to prevent Rouhani.

In the last month the sanctions against Iran also have bees eased partly. Last week the European Court decided to cancel sanctions against 18 major Iranian companies, including several banks and an Iranian shipping company.

Last week, information about the bilateral correspondence between the presidents of the U.S. and Iran was confirmed. Prior to that, Ahmadinejad sent letters to Barack Obama, but the White House did not respond. Obama also sent a letter twice to the spiritual leader of Iran, but did not receive a response.

The 'olive branch list' presented by Iran to the United States also included a reduction of 20 percent-enriched uranium stockpile by half. A few months ago, Iran had reserves of 240 kg of 20 per cent enriched uranium gas (UF6). In the latest statistics of the International Atomic Energy Agency the figure is indicated as 180 kg, and on Wednesday, the head of Iran's Atomic Energy Organisation, Ali Akbar Salehi said that a significant part of the uranium gas was turned into fuel and there remain only 140 kg of UF6.
This means that even if Iran wants to, will not manage to produce sufficient amounts of uranium gas (up 90 percent- enriched) for a nuclear weapon in six months.

There are new hopes that the 34-year-old strife between Iran and the United States will end, and the tango with two steps forward and three steps back will turn into a waltz.
It's hard to overestimate how useful for the regional and international community will be talks between the two sides.

New Iranian President Hassan Rowhani Tied to 1994 Bombing of Jewish community center in Buenos Aires.

New Iranian President Hassan Rowhani Tied to 1994 Bombing of Jewish community center in Buenos Aires.(FreeBeacon).

Iranian President-elect Hassan Rowhani was on the special Iranian government committee that plotted the 1994 bombing of a Jewish community center in Buenos Aires, according to an indictment by the Argentine government prosecutor investigating the case.

The AMIA bombing is considered the deadliest terrorist attack in Argentina’s history, killing 85 and wounding hundreds more. The Argentine government had accused the Iranian government of planning the attack and Iran’s terrorist proxy Hezbollah of carrying it out. Numerous former and current Iranian officials are wanted by Interpol in connection with the bombing.

Former Iranian intelligence official Abolghasem Mesbahi, who defected from Iran in the late 1990s, testified that the decision to launch the attack was made within a special operations committee connected to the powerful Supreme National Security Council in August 1993.

According to the 2006 indictment, Mesbahi testified that Rowhani, who was then serving as secretary of the Supreme National Security Council, was also a member of the special committee when it approved the AMIA bombing.

“With regard to the committee’s role in the decision to carry out the AMIA attack, Moghadam stated that this decision was made under the direction of Ali Khamenei, and that the other members of the committee were [then-Iranian president Ali Akbar Hashemi] Rafsanjani, Mir Hejazi, Rowhani, Velayati and Fallahijan,” the indictment says.

Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei led the special committee, according to the indictment, and Khamenei and Rafsanjani made the ultimate decision to go ahead with the attack.

While Rowhani was allegedly present for deliberations about the planned bombing, it is highly unlikely he would have had approval authority, according to Iran experts.

“Rowhani’s power at that time comes directly from one individual, and that’s Rafsanjani,” said Reuel Gerecht, a senior fellow at the Foundation for Defense of Democracy.

“As far as that bombing was concerned, because Rafsanjani had to give his approval for that, there was no doubt Rowhani was aware of it, and obviously his approval’s not necessary,” Gerecht continued. “He’s a subordinate. But he certainly would have been aware of all the discussions that led to the attack.”.Hmmmm.....there go's 'Wir haben dass nicht gewusst'.Read the full story here.

Author Salman Rushdie calls Pakistan’s Imran Khan a “dictator in waiting”

Author Salman Rushdie calls Pakistan’s Imran Khan a “dictator in waiting”.(BM).
New Delhi (dpa) – British author Salman Rushdie lashed out at Pakistani cricket captain-turned-politician Imran Khan, describing him as a “dictator in waiting,” media reports said Sunday.
Rushdie was speaking at a conference in New Delhi from which Khan, founder of the popular Pakistan Movement for Justice (PTI) party withdrew, saying “he did not dream of being seen with Rushdie for the immeasurable hurt he has caused to Muslims.”
Rushdie attacked Khan for skipping the India Today Conclave, organized by the India Today news magazine, and said the neophyte politician was not a liberal.“I’m not sure Imran Khan has liberal points of view and I think if he ever gets in the seat, we might see the consequences,” he said.
“He has made deals with both the army and the mullahs. I think that’s pretty clear, in order to be where he is,” he said in comments broadcast on CNN-IBN network.Pakistani observers speculated that Khan, known for his close links to religious parties, decided to stay away from the event for fear of backlash from conservative circles in Pakistan.Rushdie denied causing harm to Muslims through his writing.“Fanatics cause biggest harm to Islam. Immeasurable harm has been caused to Muslims by terrorists,” he said.Rushdie’s 1988 novel, The Satanic Verses, created a storm in the Muslim world and Iran’s Ayatollah Khomeini issued a death edict, forcing the writer to spend the next 10 years in hiding.The book is banned in Pakistan and India. Two months ago, Rushdie withdrew from the Jaipur literary festival after threats by Muslim groups.
Rushdie also criticized the Indian government and some of its political leaders of “cowardice” over their failure to defend the freedom of expression amid protests by Muslim and Hindu radicals.
“In India, religious fanaticism and political opportunism and, I have to say, public apathy is damaging the freedom on what all freedoms depend, freedom of expression,” he said.
“Freedom is not absolute, if you don’t defend it, you will lose it.”Hmmmm....Love the following comment on this story in 'Pakistantoday':"We are moderate Muslims...Imran Khan is face of Moderate Islam...we hate Rushdie...Taslima and Rushdie should be tried for blasphemy..."........if you had any doubts this was 'Moderate Islam'.Read the full story here.

Saudi Columnist Princess Basma bint Saud bin Abd Al-Aziz Aal Saud Speaks Out against Islamic Extremism: This Is Not What the People Hoped to Achieve through Revolutions

Princess Basma bint Saud bin Abd Al-Aziz Aal Saud: The question that I ask myself now is how come the Islamist movement has arisen in all our countries. It is a very strange phenomenon that the Islamic movement is the only one capable of…

Interviewer: But this phenomenon is logical, isn't it?

Princess Basma bint Saud bin Abd Al-Aziz Aal Saud: In what way?

Interviewer: Because the Islamist opposition was the official, organized against the former regimes. When these regimes fell, along came the ready-made opposition. That was the case regarding the Muslim Brotherhood in Egypt, in Tunisia, and in Morocco [sic].

Princess Basma bint Saud bin Abd Al-Aziz Aal Saud: True, but is this what the citizen really wants? That is the question. What the citizens hope to achieve through the revolutions is civil power – the power of the individual, of the people, and of democracy. That is what we are hearing – that these revolutions brought democracy, so that the people would have a voice.
Does the people really want the Islamist movement in its present form, in which it spreads terror throughout the world with its extremism? This is what we are seeing today in the websites and messages of the Muslim Brotherhood in Egypt, in Algeria, in Tunisia, in Morocco, and even in Jordan today.
The messages we are hearing are not at all reassuring, because they do not belong to moderate Islam. They are a call to extremist Islam, which has nothing to do with [true] Islam. The Prophet Muhammad brought moderation. Other religions, which exited prior to Islam, became extremist to a terrifying degree. That was why the Prophet of the Islamic nation came – in order to convey a moderate monotheistic message.
Is what we are seeing today a moderate Islam? What we are seeing and hearing today about the agendas of the Salafis, the Islamists, and the Enlightened – are they moderate? In my personal opinion, they are not moderate. Instead, they are turning toward religious extremism, which suppress freedom of any kind, even if it is called by another name. Source Memri.
