Update: On Front Page Magazine, Daniel Pipes has written about the results of a challenge he offered to the readership to name any other cases in history of forcible removal of citizens from their homes and property at the hands of a democracy. It's an interesting topic to read about.
Update 2: earlier from April: In the Jerusalem Post, Daniel Pipes reports of a new propaganda outfit called the Conflicts Forum, which wants to challenge "the prevailing Western orthodoxy that perceives Islamism as an ideology that is hostile to the agenda for global democracy and good governance." And they're led by a former member of the European Union, Alistair Crooke.
Plus, if you want to see the full document that Crooke wrote, expressing his biased positions in, here's the link to a copy of what he wrote from Intelligence.Org's website.
"The Islamists who assassinated Anwar Sadat in 1981 decorated their holding cages with banners proclaiming "The caliphate or death".Pipes is absolutely correct. At the same time, let us note that the Egyptian dictator Sadat was a nazi spy, as was revealed years ago in Prof. Paul Eidelberg's book "Sadat's Strategy." And that dictator Sadat was practically asking for it.
A biography of Abdullah Azzam, one of the most influential Islamist thinkers of recent times and an influence on Osama bin Laden, declares that his life "revolved around a single goal, namely the establishment of Allah's rule on earth" and restoring the caliphate.
Bin Laden spoke of ensuring that "the pious caliphate will start from Afghanistan". His chief deputy, Ayman al-Zawahiri, also dreamed of re-establishing the caliphate, for then, he wrote, "history would make a new turn, God willing, in the opposite direction against the empire of the US and the world's Jewish government". Another al-Qa'ida leader, Fazlur Rehman Khalil, publishes a magazine that declares: "Due to the blessings of jihad, America's countdown has begun. It will declare defeat soon", to be followed by the creation of a caliphate."
