No fun in Islam
“Allah did not create man so that he could have fun. The aim of creation was for mankind to be put to the test through hardship and prayer. An Islamic regime must be serious in every field. There are no jokes in Islam. There is no humor in Islam. There is no fun in Islam. There can be no fun and joy in whatever is serious.”

Great Muslim composers
Although our president tells us that Muslims have a rich history and have made wonderful contributions to human civilization, there is no great Muslim composer. Ever wonder why?
Because Muslim fundamentalists despise music. To Sayyid Qutb – a former leader of the Muslim Brotherhood – the purpose of life is death through jihad, not enjoying music. But it’s not just founding fathers of terrorism saying this stuff. Here’s what one Islamic legal manual has to say about those who listen to music: “On the day of Resurrection, Allah will pour molten lead into the ears of whoever sits listening to a songstress.”

Music: enemy of Islam
“Music corrupts the minds of our youth. There is no difference between music and opium. Both create lethargy in different ways. If you want your country to be independent, then ban music. Music is treason to our nation and to our youth.”

al Qaeda to Obama admin: ‘You lie!’
Even al Qaeda is fed up with the lies coming from the White House:
“[The Obama] administration, tried to portray the operation of brother Nidal Hassan, as an individual act of violence from an estranged individual. The administration practiced a control on the leak of information concerning the operation in order to cushion the reaction of the American public. Until this moment the administration is refusing to release the emails exchanged between myself and Nidal. And after the operation of our brother Umar al-Faruq the initial comments coming from the administration were looking the same: another attempt at covering up the truth.”

Islam is not a religion of peace
“You can’t say that Islam is a religion of peace. Islam does not mean peace, Islam means submission. So a Muslim is the one who submits. You know, there is a place for violence in Islam. There is a place for jihad in Islam.”
“The Qur’an is full of – you know – jihad is the most talked about duty in the Qur’an after tawhid (belief). Nothing else is mentioned more than fighting.”
On the July 2005 terrorist attacks in London that killed 52 and wounded hundreds:
“For the people who carried it out, it was legitimate. If you look at the will of Mohammed Siddique Khan and Shehzad Tanweer, they would be justified. And there are many verses of the Qur’an and many statements to say that’s the Islamic argument. And that is a difficult Islamic argument to refute. And there are many scholars who support that argument as well.”

Definition of Jihad
“To all members of Jemaah Islamiyah, unite! Jihad is not waged with pens or wearing prayer caps and sarongs. No, you fight jihad with weapons. Before your hair goes grey with age, join us!”

US Muslim soldiers are betraying Islam?
“Working in the American Army to kill a Muslim is a betrayal to Islam. America today is yesterday’s Pharaoh; it is an enemy to Islam. A Muslim is not allowed to work in the American Army unless he intends to walk in the path of Brother Nidal [Malik Hasan].”
- Anwar al-Awlaki
(in an interview with Al Jazeera – translated by NEFA Foundation)
Imam al-Awlaki was the “spiritual adviser” to two of the 9/11 hijackers, Army Maj. Nidal Malik Hasan (the Fort Hood shooter), and to Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab (attempted to detonate a bomb on a flight to Detroit). He was born in the U.S. and lived here until 2002 before fleeing for Yemen.
