Jihadi Olympics In Tampa Florida

From March 11th through the 12th, the Muslim American Society of Tampa will be holding its MAS Olympics 2006. The two-day event will comprise of the standard kids sports - basketball, football, soccer, volleyball - things certainly that would appear wholesome and not present the general public with any grounds for pause.

However, according to Joe Kaufman's piece in Frontpage Magazine, given this group's propagation of radical Islamist beliefs, there are a number of reasons why this event should concern everyone who cares about the welfare of children and the safety and security of the United States.

(...) According to its website, MAS is "a charitable, religious, social, cultural, educational, and not-for-profit organization... a pioneering Islamic organization, an Islamic revival, and reform movement that uplifts the individual, the family, and the society." However, to those involved in the war against terrorism, MAS is nothing more than an American arm to the violent Muslim Brotherhood, the organization from which such groups as Hamas, Al-Qaeda and the Egyptian and Palestinian Islamic Jihads were brought into being.

(...) In a full-length investigative report by the Chicago Tribune, entitled 'A rare look at secretive Brotherhood in America,' it is stated: "In recent years, the U.S. Brotherhood operated under the name Muslim American Society, according to documents and interviews. One of the nation's major Islamic groups, it was incorporated in Illinois in 1993 after a contentious debate among Brotherhood members... When the leaders voted, it was decided that Brotherhood members would call themselves the Muslim American Society, or MAS..."

Regarding jihad, one can view the following quotes in MAS-Tampa's "e-Library":
"A Muslim must always worship Allah and wage jihad until death in order to reach his ultimate goal... Therefore the steadfast Muslim will achieve this goal either through a lifetime of effort or through sudden death as a martyr... Regularly make the intention to go on jihad with the ambition to die as a martyr. You should be ready for this right now, even though its time may not have come yet." (Fathi Yakan, 'To Be a Muslim')

"First: we Muslims have not discharged the duty of jihad that is compulsory for everyone of us in many Islamic countries to liberate the Muslim land from usurpers and aggressors in Palestine, Eritrea, the Philippines, Afghanistan, Tashkent, Bukhara, Samarkand, Uzbekistan, Azerbaijan and other Muslim republics (and cities) of the Soviet Union, and other similar places in China, Ethiopia and Thailand, etc... no force can stand in our way today if we act in earnest and devote our efforts to conveying our Call to the whole world." (Yusuf Al-Qaradawi, 'Priorities of the Islamic Movement')

"...the Movement has never forgotten and will never forget the Palestinian cause... [This] has been crystallized in the steadfast, brave, aware Islamic resistance movement "Hamas". Hamas is an embodiment of the Palestinian People's belief in its Muslim and Arab origins, and a testimony that this people is still alive and will never die and that its jihad will be carried on by pure hands and clean hearts until victory is achieved with the will of Allah." (Yusuf Al-Qaradawi, 'Priorities of the Islamic Movement')

"The Prophet (peace be upon him) said: He who does not join the warlike expedition (jihad), or equip, or looks well after a warrior's family when he is away, will be smitten by Allah with a sudden calamity." ('Partial Translation of Sunan Abu-Dawud')

"...the Mujahidun who return safe and sound from the battlefield and get their share of booty are inferior in reward to those who are martyred or wounded in Jihad and do not get any share from the booty... when the situation calls for Jihad then the foremost priority of a Muslim should be Jihad." ('Riyad-us-Saliheen')

Regarding non-Muslims, one can view the following quotes in MAS-Tampa's "e-Library":

"The Holy Prophet (and through him the Muslims) has been reassured that he should not mind the enmity, the evil designs and the machinations of the Jews... In view of the degenerate moral condition of the Jews and the Christians, the Believers have been warned not to make them their friends and confidants." (Abul Ala Mawdudi, 'Chapter Introductions To The Quran')

"God will cause the jews to be defeated. Earth shall be filled with muslims as a vessel is filled to the brim with water-the entire world shall recite the same Kalima (Islamic declaration of belief) and worship shall be offered to none else except God Almighty." (Abul Ala Mawdudi, 'The Finality of Prophethood')

"The Prophet, peace be upon him, said: 'May Allah destroy the Jews, because they used the graves of their prophets as places of worship.'"... "The Prophet, peace be upon him, said: 'May Allah curse Jews and Christians for they turned the graves of their Prophets into places of worship.'" (Sayd Sabeq, 'Fiqh-us-Sunnah')
"Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that the Prophet (peace be upon him) once said: 'He who possesses sufficient provisions and means of journey for the performance of Hajj and yet does not do so, let him die the death of a Jew or a Christian.'" (Sayd Sabeq, 'Fiqh-us-Sunnah')

"A Jew came to the Prophet asking for his debt and said: 'You are from the tribe of Abd Manaf whose tribe likes to delay paying debts.' When Umar heard this, he swore that he would cut off the Jew's head." (Fathi Yakan, 'To Be a Muslim')

"The Hour will not be established until you fight with the Jews, and the stone behind which a Jew will be hiding will say. 'O Muslim! There is a Jew hiding behind me, so kill him.'" ('Sahih Bukhari')
These Islamist imperatives show that the agenda of MAS-Tampa is to create an exclusively Muslim American Society 'by any means necessary.' It is clear that young children subjected to this form of indoctrination have a good chance of becoming radicalized.

Please read all of this incredible report. The fact that this group is operating within America's borders (with apparent immunity) is alarming to say the least - it is literally a terrorist organization teaching terrorism in the city of Tampa, Florida, with impunity. WHY?

There will be much more to come on this...
