» 3.5 MB - 7,816 hits - 24 January 2015
This study (by ITIC) is an overall analysis of the Islamic Salafist-jihadi terrorist organization ISIS. It examines the historical background and reasons for its founding and increase in strength, its ideological attraction, its tactical and strategic objectives and its military, governance and financial capabilities. The main objective of this study is to understand what lies behind its successes and how it became a threat not only to Syria and Iraq but to the Middle East and the international community as well.

  What Happened To The Jews of Medina
» 422.5 KB - 5,978 hits - 2 May 2010
A comprehensive report of the tragic end of the Jews of Medina. A case of ethnic cleansing, betrayal and genocide carried out by the Messenger of Allah (PBUH). The prophet raided the 2000 year old Jewish communities of Medina, killed their men, confiscated their properties, enslaved their wives and children and banished the unwanted with no provocation on the part of the Jews. The holy Prophet's sole motive was greed for their wealth and lust for their women. Many millions of the Muslims in the world have a deep hostility towards Jews or "the Jew." Osama bin Laden said that the enmity between the Muslims and Jews goes far back in time and is deeply rooted. Seeds of violent ambiguity have been planted in the early soil of Islam. It is no wonder and no surprise that non-violent and violent fanatics are inspired by Muhammad and his book, especially in their hatred of the Jews. And it is no wonder and no surprise that average Muslims would have hatred for Jews, too. This document exposes in detail the roots of Jew-hatred in early Islam based on Muhammed's life and Islamic sources. (By Ali Sina and James M. Arlandson).

  The Muslim Brotherhood's "The Project"
» 82.1 KB - 4,604 hits - 27 May 2010
The Muslim Brotherhood's Islamic master plan to destroy Europe and the West from within and part of The Muslim Brotherhood's charter. In November 2001, Swiss investigators searched the home of Youssef Nada [prominent member of the Muslim Brotherhood and key Muslim Brotherhood organizer], and leader of Al Taqwa Bank, a Swiss bank that had just been shut down by the US and the UN for alleged ties to al-Qaeda, Hamas, and other radical militant groups. They discover a 14-page document [written in Arabic] from December 1, 1982 entitled “The Project.” The document details a strategic plan whose ultimate goal is “the establishment of the reign of Allah over the entire world.” It recommends to “study of the centers of power locally and worldwide, and the possibilities of placing them under [Islamist] influence,” to contact and support new holy war movements anywhere in the world, "to adopt the Palestinian cause as part of a worldwide Islamic plan, with the policy plan and by means of jihad", and “nurture the sentiment of rancor with regard to Jews.” The document also advocates creating a network of religious, educational, and charitable institutions in Europe and the US to increase [Islamist] influence there.

» 48.6 KB - 1,800 hits - 24 February 2010
On February 13, 2009, a meeting was held in Istanbul attended by members of Islamic groups (Hamas, the Muslim Brotherhood and Jamaat-e-Islami) from all over the world. Representatives (including British, Kosovar, Swedish and Danish Muslim leaders) signed a document proclaiming the "victory" of Hamas in Gaza (i.e., in Operation Cast Lead) and stating that the jihad in Gaza was part of the global jihad being waged by Islam. The declaration included support for the "resistance" (i.e., terrorism) throughout the world and for a jihad against Israel (and Israel supporters) until the "liberation of all Palestine." The Swedish Muslim leader is Yusuf Muhammad al-Barahimi (nr. 90 on the list of signatures).

  A Guide to Refuting Jihadism: Critiquing Radical Islamist Claims to Theological Authenticity
» 1.3 MB - 1,784 hits - 29 March 2014
The first English-language handbook to comprehensively debunk the theological basis of jihadist aims and methods, this guide is an essential contribution to the on-going debate concerning extremism in our society. Jihadist groups offer theological reasoning in support of their political ideology and violent activities. By showing that their arguments are not based on traditionally recognised interpretations of classical Islamic sources, A Guide to Refuting Jihadism provides a scripturally sound counter-narrative to al-Qaeda and like-minded groups. A Guide to Refuting Jihadism has been endorsed by a range of prominent Muslim scholars, including from al-Azhar in Cairo, Sunni Islam’s highest religious authority, as well as by leading academics and writers.

  The Muslim Brotherhood's Strategic Goal for North America
» 2.2 MB - 1,420 hits - 27 May 2010
The Muslim Brotherhood (Arabic: "Hizb al Ikhwan al Muslimeen" - The party of the Muslim Brothers or "Jamaat al-Ikhwan al-Muslimun" - Society of the Muslim brotherhood) is a fundamentalist international organization originating in Egypt, whose goals are the conversion of Muslim countries into states ruled by Sha'ria law, the re-establishment of the Caliphate and ultimately, world dominion. The MB's [anti-semitic and anti-west] ideology, which insists that Islam is a prescription for governance as well as religion, is the prototypical example of Islamism. Their slogan is self-explanatory: "God is our purpose, the Prophet our leader, the Qur'an our constitution, Jihad our way and dying for God's cause our supreme objective." The general goals and strategic plans of the MB are only found in Arabic documents. One for Europe called "The Project" was found in 2001 in Switzerland, another for North America was found in 2005 called the "General Strategic Goal for the Group in North America." One citation from this document makes the objectives of the MB clear: "The process of settlement is a 'Civilization-Jihadist Process' with all the word means. The Ikhwan must understand that their work in America is a kind of grand Jihad in eliminating and destroying the Western civilization from within and "sabotaging" its miserable house by their hands and the hands of the believers so that it is eliminated and God's religion is made victorious over all other religions." This is the original Arabic version with translated memorandum (in English).

  The Federation of Islamic Organizations in Europe
» 510.7 KB - 1,298 hits - 17 July 2010
The Federation of Islamic Organizations in Europe (FIOE) claims to be an independent organization representing the interests of Muslims in Europe. In reality, the FIOE is an umbrella group that comprises the global Muslim Brotherhood in Europe. Strong links connect FIOE's leadership central institutions and member organizations to the Brotherhood, as well as to Saudi Arabia. Funding for the FIOE is derived largely from Gulf sources, including some of the ruling families of the United Arab Emirates. The FIOE has strong ties to Hamas and Hamas fund-raising organizations, and some FIOE member organizations show evidence of links with Al-Qaida. The FIOE has recently opened a headquarters office in Brussels and has had some success in positioning itself as a “dialog partner” for the EU and other important institutions.

  Shariah: The Threat to America
» 1.7 MB - 1,050 hits - 25 November 2010
"This study is the result of months of analysis, discussion and drafting by a group of top security policy experts concerned with the preeminent totalitarian threat of our time: the legal-political-military doctrine known within Islam as "shariah." It is designed to provide a comprehensive and articulate "second opinion" on the official characterizations and assessments of this threat as put forth by the United States government. This study challenges the assumptions underpinning the official line in the conflict with today's totalitarian threat, which is currently euphemistically described as "violent extremism," and the policies of co-existence, accommodation and submission that are rooted in those assumptions."
