OTA - Islamic Funding of Terrorism from Planck's Constant

When I visit Islamist blogs I note that Muslims like to say that Islam is superior to western religions, giving examples of how women are treated better under Islam, how Islam is in tune with nature, that they are not under the influence of drugs and alcohol. Of course, this is all hypocrisy. At least Christians admit that they are sinners and looking to make the world better. But Muslims feel they have already achieved a perfect state by merely being Muslims.

Now we learn that al Qaeda is killing animals for Allah:

Poaching for Bin Laden
According to India's security services, police, intelligence analysts, local traders and forestry officials, Islamic militants affiliated to al-Qaida are sponsoring poaching in the reserve for profit. These groups have established bases in the formerly moderate enclave of Bangladesh and have agents operating all along the country's porous 2,500-mile border with India. They have gone into business with local animal trappers and organised crime syndicates around Kaziranga - as well as in parks and reserves in Nepal, Burma and Thailand - in a quest for horns, ivory, pelts and other animal products with which to raise "under the wire" funds that they can move around the world invisibly.

A small rhino horn, the size of a bag of sugar, with good provenance (the beast's tail and ears, presented to a prospective buyer) and in the right marketplace (in Asia, Europe or North America), can fetch £20,000. Big cat pelts can go for up to £10,000. Monkey brains, bear bile, musk, big cat carcasses, elephant feet, tails, horns and teeth have considerable value. A shipment worth £2.8m was recently intercepted by UK customs. Profits from the trade run from $15bn to an incredible $25bn a year, according to estimates from the WWF (formerly the World Wide Fund for Nature). The punishment for trading in these items is generally a fine as low as £300 in India and £900 in Nepal.

Although this story is ten days old, PETA has yet to add this to their Action Alerts. Perhaps they cannot bring themselves to condemn anyone who is anti-American? Why is it that those who most despise white corporate America cannot bring themselves to condemn the most violent violators of their own organization's principles?

Muslims themselves will deny that other Muslims are engaged in the slave trade, trade in endangered species, or sell drugs. They will bring up the fact that the Taliban banned opium poppy cultivation back in 2001. Actually, the Taliban only banned the sale to raise the price of opium so they could collect higher taxes on it and to get subsidies from the US.

As much as Muslims may harp about how peaceful and beautiful Islam is, the plain fact is that Muslims will trade in any forbidden vice, do any evil deed, sell slaves, kill animals, or deal in drugs as long as it is done to destroy infidels.

It is interesting to note that the majority of Muslims in America are black and while blacks continue to harp on how slavery is the main reason for black poverty today, they ignore the fact that Islam institutionalized slavery and that it was white Christians here in America and in Britain that abolished slavery in the western world. Blacks should be ashamed of themselves for becoming Muslim. Where is Al Sharpton when blacks really need him?

Answering Islam,
The Ultimate Goal of Islam
the Quran states unequivocally the superiority and triumph of Islam over all religions in three different verses: 61:9, 48:28, and 9:33. These verses are found in the historical context of warfare and violence, so how can they fail to inspire violent fanatics?

Answering Islam,
SLAVERY IN ISLAM
Muslims were enslaving black Africans long before any slave ships sailed for the New World. Muslims were taking and making slaves all over the lands they had conquered. Later, when slave ships were loaded with black slaves, often, a Muslim slave broker had the human cargo all ready to go. American slavers rarely had to go into inland to capture slaves, they were already waiting there, courtesy of some Muslim ruler, and/or slave broker! In many cases, if the black slaves were not sent to the New World, they were sent to the Mideast to be enslaved by Arabs, or kept by other black Muslims as slaves.
