Please download attachment and read it in your spare time, though, I would put on high priority, a lot of the content of this file is shocking.

It illustrates the sheer audacity with which our religion is being infiltrated and distorted by those who have no right to do so.

They are very, very determined.

The War Strategy ~ Building Moderate Muslim Networks

I hope these quotes encourage people to read more:

With regard to partners, it will be important to identify the social
sectors that would constitute the building blocks of the proposed networks.
Priority should be given to

1. Liberal and secular Muslim academics and intellectuals
2. Young moderate religious scholars
3. Community activists
4. Women’s groups engaged in gender equality campaigns
5. Moderate journalists and writers.

The United States should ensure visibility and platforms for these
individuals. For example, U.S. officials should ensure that individuals
from these groups are included in congressional visits, making them
better known to policymakers and helping to maintain U.S. support
and resources for the public diplomacy effort.
Assistance programs should be organized around the sectors listed
above, and would include:

Democratic education, particularly programs that use Islamic
texts and traditions for authoritative teachings that support
democratic and pluralistic values
Media. Support for moderate media is critical to combating
media domination by anti-democratic and conservative Muslim
elements.
Gender equality. The issue of women’s rights is a major battleground
in the war of ideas within Islam, and women’s rights
advocates operate in very adverse environments. Promotion of
gender equality is a critical component of any project to empower
moderate Muslims.
Policy advocacy. Islamists have political agendas, and moderates
need to engage in policy advocacy as well. Advocacy activities
are important in order to shape the political and legal environment
in the Muslim world.

There is some “networking” of moderates currently going on, but
it is random and insufficiently considered. Networking individuals and
groups whose credentials as moderates have not been firmly established
or networking pseudo-moderates not only is a waste of resources, it can
be counterproductive. The Danish imams who caused the cartoon controversy
to spiral into an international conflagration had earlier been
presumed to be moderates and had been the beneficiaries of state support,
including travel and networking opportunities. Closer scrutiny
after the incident revealed that these individuals were not true moderates
at all.

The central problem is that moderates lack the financial and organizational
resources to create these networks themselves; the initial
impulse for their creation may require an external catalyst. While the
United States has a critical role to play in leveling the playing field
for moderates, there are, of course, obstacles. In many parts of the
Muslim world there are few existing moderate networks or organizations
with which the United States could partner. Some also argue that
the United States, as a majority non-Muslim country, does not have the
credibility to successfully foment moderate Muslim networks. Indeed,
the obstacles to effectively influencing socio-political developments
abroad should not be underestimated. Nevertheless, the United States
has considerable experience fostering networks of people committed
to free and democratic ideas dating back to the Cold War.

Application Criteria: Moderate or not?

Therefore, in determining whether a group or movement meets this characterization of moderation, a reasonably complete picture of its worldview is needed. This picture can emerge from the answers given to the following questions:

1. Does the group (or individual) support or condone violence? If
   it does not support or condone violence now, has it supported or
   condoned it in the past?
2. Does it support democracy? And if so, does it define democracy
   broadly in terms of individual rights?
3. Does it support internationally recognized human rights?
4. Does it make any exceptions (e.g., regarding freedom of religion)?
5. Does it believe that changing religions is an individual right?
6. Does it believe the state should enforce the criminal-law component of shari’a?
7. Does it believe the state should enforce the civil-law component of shari’a? Or does it believe there should be non-shari’a options for those who prefer civil-law matters to be adjudicated under a secular legal system?
8. Does it believe that members of religious minorities should be entitled to the same rights as Muslims?
9. Does it believe that a member of a religious minority could hold high political office in a Muslim majority country?
10. Does it believe that members of religious minorities are entitled to build and run institutions of their faith (churches and synagogues) in Muslim majority countries?
11. Does it accept a legal system based on nonsectarian legal principles?

That'll do ...I mean its quite difficult to choose what to post since just about everything in that file is so messed up.

Thank you sister isra for sharing this. Jazakallah khairan

What the US wants to do is to mentally prepare the muslim world that "it is ok if we come all the way from the west and rule you. It is ok if we control the resources of your country. It is ok if we impose our own culture and sysytem of government on you. It is ok if we build permanent military bases in your countries and so on..."

but

"it is not ok if you ask us to leave. it is also not ok if you want to have your own system of goverment. What we say goes and what we say is right should be accepted right and so on..."

Things as above are being presented to the muslim world as moderate and its violation as extremism and terrorism.

US has never supported true moderation specially in the muslim world.
It fiercely backed the Mujahideen to fight against Russian invasion.
It still supports Jihadi movements in the muslim states under Russian rule.

Can anybody see the double standards?:angryred:

Dear sister Isra, may Allaah reward you with Jannah Firdaws!:tti_sister:

I didn't see this thread of yours until now, so I posted similar

CAN MODS PLEASE MERGE THESE TWO THREADS TOGETHER?

http://www.turntoislam.com/forum/showthread.php?t=34718

 

[A Kashmiri]

" We propose to launch the initiative recommended in this report
with a workshop, to be held in Washington or another appropriate
venue, gathering a small, representative group of Muslim moderates.
This workshop would serve to obtain their input and their support
for the initiative and to prepare the agenda and list of participants
for an international conference modeled on the Congress of Cultural
Freedom.
If this event were successful, we would then work with the core
group to hold an international conference to be held in a venue of
symbolic significance for Muslims, for instance, Córdoba in Spain, to
launch a standing organization to combat radical Islamism."[B][/B]


The idea is to take us back to Cardoba in Spain and silently tell us we as Muslims will face the consequence as Muslims in Spain if we dont accept them to be our masters, and allow them to rule the muslims and muslim countries throughout the world.

For those muslims who think that submitting their wills to these ( Zionists and Crusaders) instead of Allah , this report is an eye opener.

May Allah help muslim to unite and help us to present our beautiful deen to the world in the best of the manner.

What is a moderate Muslim? is there a definition?

If you walk without a hijab then you are moderate? without a beard,then you are moderate?
how about Christians who have a beard, are they extremists?
If i pray five times a day, what am i?
These people still do not understand that Islam isnt something that takes you to the mosque where by you pray and thats it.
Islam is a way of life.
Are they trying to modernize a way of life.
And they have the gall to talk about women rights!
women were given their rights 1400 years ago and yet here they try to tell and shout about women rights or maybe if a muslim woman walks around and not covered according to the shariah then she is free?
those calling for women rights are the ones that are enslaved by the fashion zombies and media that portrays a women as a chattel.
Yet we muslims fail to see what is happening around us, we are still thinking that nothing can happen
am so angry that i cannot add anything more!:angryred:

 

[island muslim]

Salaam Alaiykum,

Really good work by sister isra and sister saniyah. May allah reward you both ameen.

Jazakumallah khairan wa barakallah feekum

 

[MOSABJA]

I have the definition.

RADICALS.

Seeking enforcement of shariah.
Wearing Niqab.
doing Jihad against occupiers.
having beards and turbans and trouser above ankles.


MODERN MUSLIMS

nothing to do with shariah
dont bother hijad
Consider Jihad as unimportant.
Only consider prayers,rituals as complete islam.

SECULAR

hate shariah.
consider jihad as terrorism.
ban Hijab.
Consider even rituals as unimportant.


For them the first ones like Taliban are the real enemy,

I saw this a while back, and alhamdulillaah some institutions professionally outlined the clear problems with the whole RAND thing. You can even see major flaws in how they "categorise" the various Muslims.
