MIM: Naseer Khader : Liberal Socialist pushes leftist agenda which aids and abets Islamists enjoys cult status as Denmark's "poster boy for moderate Islam".

A look at Khader's CV in Danish and English shows a glaring omission. On the Danish CV he lists his taking correspondence from the radical Islamist Al Azhar University - and that he attended their summer course. Which begs the question as to how the 'Viking' of Muslim assimiliation, and self proclaimed 'non practising Muslim' was able to be admitted to and attend a 'school for shari'a' which is a bastion of the Muslim Brotherhood and the alma mater of Bin Laden's mentor Abdullah Azzam.

    Declaration by the newly founded "Moderate Moslem"-Network

    Declaration by the newly founded "Democratic Moslem"-Network, passed on saturday 4. february 2006, during an assembly held at the Danish parliament, as a response to the drawings of the Prophet Mohammed.

    We declare, today, that now is the time for dialogue, rather than digging trenches. We call on the Moslem countries, the Danish imams and the government to enter into dialogue, to settle this conflict, so that we may again meet on a friendly footing, and ensure that exchange of views and experiences across cultural, religious and geographic boundaries can continue.

    As Moslems, we are the proof that Islam and democracy are not incompatible.

    It is our hope that our example here in Denmark will make Moslems around the world react and follow our lead. Only by uniting, can we change the fundamentalistic picture of Islam that the many extremists have drawn with violence.

http://www.khader.dk/flx/in_english/the_ten_commandments_of_democracy/

The ten commandments of Democracy

  1. We must all separate politics and religion, and we must never place religion above the laws of democracy.
  2. We must all respect that all people have equal rights regardless of sex, ethnicity, sexual orientation or religious beliefs.
  3. No person must ever incite to hatred, and we must never allow hatred to enter our hearts.
  4. No person must ever use or encourage violence – no matter how frustrated or wronged we feel, or how just our cause.
  5. We must all make use of dialogue - always.
  6. We must all show respect for the freedom of expression, also of those with whom we disagree the most.
  7. No person can claim for themselves or assign to others a place apart, neither as superior persons, as inferior persons or as eternal victims.
  8. We must all treat other people's national and religious symbols as we wish them to treat ours – flag-burning and graffiti on churches, mosques and synagogues are insults that hinder dialogue and increase the repression of the other party.
  9. We must all mind our manners in public. Public space is not a stage on which to vent one's aggressions or to spread fear and hate, but should be a forum for visions and arguments, where the best must win support.
  10. We must all stand up for our opponent if he or she is subjected to spiteful treatment.

The commandments were first voiced in a speech by Naser Khader in 2002.

MIM: Leftwing moderate Muslims never eschew capititalism when it comes to support for their cause. The West is prepared to bankroll anyone Muslim who pays says the magic words "democratic" and "alternative".

"...I have been overwhelmed by the many positive responses I have received recently, also from non-Muslim Danes. I am heartened and very pleased that there is so much support for the alternative network!

At Saturday's meeting (February 4) there was positive support for establishing "The Danish Support Network for Democratic Muslims". Regardless of religious conviction you are invited to support the initiative by joining the mailing list below.

As many will have seen on Politiken's homepage on February 8, Democratic Muslims intend to spread its views through advertisement in Arabic media. If you want to support this and the network's other activities with a donation you can make a contribution to bank account: 9510-10141931. If you wish to donate from a broad, then use IBAN: DK913000001014931.

On behalf of myself and the network a big thank you for the many encouraging messages that keep streaming in. I can't respond to all at this time but will try to do so in due course.

With kind regards
Naser Khader
