Sheik Yusuf al-Qaradawi: Theologian of TerrorIntroduction
Updated: March 15, 2011Sheik Yusuf al-Qaradawi, a radical Muslim Brotherhood ideologue based in Qatar, has garnered worldwide appeal through a wide network of associations and by making use of various media outlets. Through his speeches and writings, Qaradawi has demonstrated consistent support of terrorist groups that seek to undermine a peaceful resolution of the Palestinian-Israeli conflict.
In response to uprisings in several countries across the Middle East in early 2011, Qaradawi condemned the leaders of many of those regimes. In a February 21, 2011, interview with Al Jazeera television, Qaradawi encouraged Libyan soldiers to assassinate Libyan President Mu'ammar Qaddafi. Qaradawi also issued several fatwas in support of the Egyptian people and on February 18, 2011, spoke in Tahrir Square in Cairo. Qaradawi told Egyptian protestors, "I have hope that as God has delighted me to see a liberated Egypt, [so too will God] delight me with a conquered Al Aqsa," in Jerusalem.
Qaradawi similarly expressed his desire to see a "conquered" Jerusalem in a January 24, 2011, fatwa in which he negated Jewish attachment to Jerusalem and stated that it is the duty of Muslims to "defend" Jerusalem with "their lives, their money and all they possess, or else they will be subject to Allah's punishment." This fatwa is part of Qaradawi's long record of inciting violence against Jews and Israel. During a sermon that aired on the Arabic satellite channel Al-Jazeera TV on January 28, 2009, Qaradawi told his audience, "I will shoot Allah's enemies, the Jews, and they will throw a bomb at me, and thus I will seal my life with martyrdom." In another sermon on January 9, 2009, Qaradawi lashed out at Jews, including calling on God to "kill them, down to the very last one."He has also refused to dialogue with Jews. Qaradawi declined to participate in the 8th annual conference organized by the Doha International Center for Interfaith Dialogue because of the participation of Jews. In a statement released by Qaradawi's office, he reportedly said, "How can we conduct a dialogue in a time when they seize lands, shed blood, burn farms, and demolish houses? Palestine's conundrum has to be resolved first before we sit together at the same table."Qaradawi continues to endorse Palestinian suicide bombings against Israeli civilians. In his latest major work, Fiqh (Jurisprudence) of Jihad (2009), Qaradawi chastises those Muslims who do not observe jihad as an obligatory duty, including participation in "physical jihad" if capable. A significant portion of the book is dedicated to legitimizing suicide bombing, or "martyrdom operations," which Qaradawi casts as a "defensive jihad against oppression." He encapsulates his view of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict with anti-Semitic rhetoric, attesting that the "Zionist massacres of today" are a continuation of alleged Jewish calls to genocide in the Old Testament.During a July 2007 conference held in his honor in Doha, Qatar, titled "Imam al-Qaradawi: A Forum for Students and Friends," Qaradawi reiterated his support for suicide bombing and terrorist groups."I support the Palestinian cause. I support the resistance and the jihad," Qaradwi said according to MEMRI. "I support Hamas, the Islamic Jihad, and Hezbollah. I oppose the peace that Israel and America wish to dictate. This peace is an illusion. I support martyrdom operations."The conference, indicative of his ability to attract a worldwide following, was attended by at least 90 supporters from all over the world, including Hamas leader Khaled Mashaal, who praised Qaradawi on one of his previous fatwas (legal opinions) endorsing suicide bombing.Qaradawi, who has also expressed support for targeting American forces and civilians in Iraq, has been banned from the entering the U.S. since 1999 for his extremist views. In February 2008, Qaradawi was denied a visa to enter Britain for medical treatment.BiographyEarly Relationship with the Muslim Brotherhood Qaradawi, born in Egypt in 1926, graduated from Al Azhar University in Cairo. In 1942, during his time as a student, Qaradawi signed membership papers formally joining the Muslim Brotherhood, an Islamic extremist movement founded in Egypt that has spawned and inspired global terrorist groups, including the Palestinian terrorist group Hamas. He was arrested several times by Egyptian government authorities between 1949 and 1961 due of his activities with the Muslim Brotherhood. In 1951, Qaradawi toured Egypt giving political speeches in support of Brotherhood candidates for the parliamentary elections that year. Egypt banned the Muslim Brotherhood in 1954 because of its opposition to the Egyptian government. In 1961, Qaradawi moved to Qatar, where he currently resides. Despite his departure from Egypt, Qaradawi's theological influence on the Muslim Brotherhood continued. Qaradawi participated in developing the educational and cultural structure of the Brotherhood, publishing essays and books that were absorbed into the educational curriculum by its Tarbiyya (Education) Department. In addition, a number of Qaradawi's essays relating to Thaqafat ad-Da'iya (The Culture of the Preacher) were published in the Brotherhood magazine, Da'wa, during in the 1970s. Another of his books, at-Tarbiya al-Islamiyya wa Madrasat Hassan al-Banna (Islamic Education and Hassan al-Banna's school), published in 1979, was officially incorporated into the educational curriculum by the Brotherhood. Although Qaradawi has built a media empire formally independent of the Muslim Brotherhood, he remains the premier spiritual guide to the Islamist movement. The Brotherhood offered Qaradawi their highest leadership position of "General Guide" in 1973, after the death of the group's second General Guide, Hassan Al-Hudaybi, which Qaradawi declined in 1976. Qaradawi declined the position again in 2002, following the death of organization's fifth General Guide Mustafa Mashhur. Despite refusal to formally adopt the helm of the Brotherhood, Qaradawi maintains a close cooperation with the organization and its members. According to his memoirs, Ibn al-Qarya wa'l-Kuttab (Son of the Village and the Village Schools, vol. 2002, 2004, 2006). Qaradawi continues to regard Hassan al-Banna, the founder of the Brotherhood, as the teacher who had the most significant influence on him. Qaradawi's Activities over Last Decade Qaradawi has established a worldwide following through television appearances and by utilizing the Internet. He was relatively quick to take advantage of the Internet, launching a site in his name in 1997. The site includes several of his fatwas supporting terror. In 2006, Qaradawi used his Web site to denounce a Danish newspaper's cartoon of the Prophet Muhammad and declared February 3, 2006, an "international day of rage." Qaradawi hosts a weekly television show called "Shariah and Life" on the Arabic-language television news network, Al Jazeera, where he also expresses his support for terror. For example, during an April 2004 show, he credited Allah with providing Palestinians "human bombs," instead of the planes, missiles and weapons that Zionists have. In addition, his Friday sermons at the Umar bin al-Khattab mosque, a government-sponsored mosque in Doha, have been regularly broadcast live on Qatar television. In a 2005 sermon, while speaking about notable Hamas leaders killed by Israel, Qaradawi asserted, "Their fate was paradise. They died martyrs. They met the death that every Muslim wishes for himself, which is martyrdom in the cause of God." Qaradawi is also influential through a wide network of affiliations. In the U.S., he is the chairman (in abstenia) of the Michigan-based Islamic American University (IAU), a subsidiary of the Muslim American Society (MAS), according to the MAS Web site. The university aims to provide Islamic higher education, especially to converts and non-practicing Muslims, according to the IAU Web site. Qaradawi is also listed by the IAU as a faculty member. Prior to being banned from the U.S. in 1999, Qaradawi reportedly spoke to several Muslim organizations around the country. For example, Qaradawi spoke at the now-defunct Muslim Arab Youth Association (MAYA) conference in Toledo, Ohio, in 1995, where he stated, "If everyone who defends his land and dies defending his sacred symbols is considered a terrorist, then I wish to be at the forefront of the terrorists. And I pray to Allah if that is terrorism, then O Allah make me live as a terrorist, die as a terrorist, and be raised up with the terrorists." Despite the ban, Qaradawi's message still reaches the American public via satellite television and the Internet, in particular IslamOnline, a Web site published in both Arabic and English. The site contains articles and religious rulings which support violence against non-Muslims, as well as anti-Semitic, anti-Israel and anti-American content. Recent Selected Books Qaradawi has also written over 40 books, many of which have been published in different languages and disseminated throughout the world. In Qaradawi's Fiqh of Jihad, published in 2009, he chastises those Muslims who do not observe the obligatory duty of jihad, including violent jihad, and attempt to "cast a veil of oblivion on jihad and drop it from the life of the Ummah [the Muslim community]." In the introduction to the book, Qaradawi writes, "Without jihad, the Ummah's boundaries will be violated, the blood of its people will be as cheap as dust, its sanctuaries will be less worthy than a handful of desert sand, and it will be insignificant in the eyes of its enemies." A significant portion of the work is dedicated to legitimizing suicide bombing, or "martyrdom operations," which Qaradawi casts as a "defensive jihad against oppression." He encapsulates his view of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict with anti-Semitic rhetoric, attesting that the "Zionist massacres of today" are a continuation of alleged Jewish calls to genocide in the Old Testament. In another of his books, Fatawa' Min Ajl Falastin [Fatwas for the Sake of Palestine], published in 2003, Qaradawi provides a warning that Muslims should not befriend "Jews, in general, and Israelis, in particular" due to the current Palestinian-Israeli conflict. "Receiving enemies in our own countries and visiting them in the occupied lands," he writes, "would remove such a psychological barrier that keeps us away from them, and would bridge the gap that keeps the desire for Jihad against them kindled in the hearts of the Ummah."Support for TerrorAlthough Qaradawi has condemned the murder of civilians, including the September 11 terrorist attacks, he supports terrorist activities against Israel. In his condemnation of the September 11 terrorist attacks, Qaradawi claimed that "such martyrdom operations should not be carried out outside of the Palestinian territories." Qaradawi justifies this stance by claiming that Israeli civilians do not exist because the Israeli government requires all citizens to serve in the army. In 2009, Qaradawi reportedly allocated $21 million to Hamas to buy apartments and plots of land in Jerusalem to "build charitable institutions to broaden its base in the city," according to the Israel Security Agency Shin Bet. Qaradawi previously transferred tens of millions of dollars to Hamas directly through the Saudi-based Union of Good, an umbrella organization of over 50 charities worldwide headed by Qaradawi. On October 12, 2010, through a recorded message played by the Hamas-affiliated Ministry of Religious Endowment in Gaza, Qaradawi told guests at the meeting that Palestinians must continue to raise arms against Israel. According to Gazan Radio station Al Aqsa Voice, Qaradawi stated: "Not one inch of the land of Islam must remain in the grasp of infidels and occupiersâ€¦We must irrigate the tree of freedom with our blood. We must not leave the Palestinians alone. Every Muslim fulfill [sic] his role supporting our brothers in Palestine until they obtain their rights." He reiterated even more clearly, "Arms must not be laid downâ€”he who wants freedom must pay the price." Several days later, on his weekly "Shariah and Life" television show on the Al Jazeera network, Qaradawi was asked by the interviewer if Muslims should attempt to acquire nuclear weapons "to terrorize their enemies." Qaradawi, noting his pleasure to learn Pakistan had such a weapon to defend itself, replied that this goal would be permissible for Muslims and provided religious justification for "terrorizing the enemy." Qaradawi also has a long record of inciting violence against Jews. In a sermon that aired on the Arabic satellite channel Al-Jazeera TV in January 2009, Qaradawi expressed his desire to "go to the land of Jihad and resistance." He told his audience, "I will shoot Allah's enemies, the Jews, and they will throw a bomb at me, and thus I will seal my life with martyrdom." In another sermon that same month, Qaradawi incited violence against the Jews. "Oh Allah," Qaradawi said, "Take this oppressive, Jewish, Zionist band of peopleâ€¦do not spare a single one of them. Oh Allah, count their numbers, and kill them, down to the very last one."During a July 2007 conference held in his honor in Doha, Qatar, Qaradawi praised suicide bombings against Israel and reiterated his support for terrorist groups. The conference was attended by at least 90 people from all over the world, including Hamas leader Khaled Mashaal. Qaradawi has declared his unwavering support forHezbollah, Hamas and Islamic Jihad on numerous occasions.Qaradawi issued a 2001 fatwa legitimizing suicide bombings, which is posted on Hamas's Web site in order to justify their terrorist attacks in Islam. In 2003, Qaradawi authorized the use of women in suicide attacks in another fatwa, which provided religious sanction for Hamas when it began enlisting female "martyrs." Qaradawi's fervent support for Hezbollah is evident in his praise for the terrorist group during the 2006 Israel-Lebanon war for their ability to both capture Israeli soldiers and kill Israeli civilians by shelling cities in Israel. Qaradawi declared Hezbollah's war a legitimate Jihad in accordance with Islamic law on his Web site, where he also stated, "It is the duty of every Muslim to support this resistance against the Israeli enemy."Qaradawi has often expressed support for the insurgency in Iraq. According to MEMRI, in 2004, he endorsed the assassination of American civilians in Iraq in a fatwa issued at the Egyptian Journalists' Union convention in Cairo, saying, "All of the Americans in Iraq are combatants, there is no difference between civilians and soldiers, and one should fight them, since the American civilians came to Iraq in order to serve the occupation. The abduction and killing of Americans in Iraq is a [religious] obligation so as to cause them to leave Iraq immediately." Qaradawi later countered MEMRI's claim on his Web site, Islam Online, where he explains that Islam respects other nations, although he still is in the view that, "â€¦fighting the American invaders is a must endorsed by heavenly religions and international agreements."Qaradawi has also justified killing apostates and homosexuals. In an interview with the Egyptian newspaper Al-Ahram Al-Arabi in 2004, Qaradawi condemned apostasy and ordered the death penalty for those who stray from Islam. In 2003 Qaradawi stated on IslamOnline that the punishment of homosexuality is the death penalty.Affiliations
Qaradawi is a major figure in the Muslim Brotherhood, an Islamic movement founded in Egypt in 1928 that has spawned several contemporary terrorist groups (includingHamas and Egyptian Islamic Jihad, which was absorbed byAl Qaeda). Since the 1980s â€“ after several crackdowns in Egypt and Syria â€“ the group has generally refrained from violence while remaining dedicated to enshrining Islamic teaching as civil law.
Its ideology is rooted in anti-Semitism. For example, Said Qutb, the group's leading intellectual, wrote an essay in 1950 titled "Our Struggle with the Jews," in which he argues that the Jews had always been enemies of Muslims and in modern times used secular Western culture to corrupt and ultimately destroy Islam.
In early 2004, Qaradawi declined an offer to serve as the group's leader, a position he said had first been offered 28 years earlier. His prominence in the movement was underscored when he and two other Brotherhood leaders met with Syrian President Bashar Assad in May 2004 in an effort to improve the group's relations with Assad's government.
European Council for Fatwa and Research
Qaradawi is chairman and president of this Dublin-based group, which he founded in 1997 to establish a central religious authority for European Muslims. The organization issues fatwas that guide European Muslims to follow Shariah, or Islamic law, outside of the Muslim world.
The Council does not acknowledge the state of Israel and rejects any compromise with the Jewish state. The Council's deputy, Faisal Mawlawi, stated on IslamOnline in June 2007 that Palestinians fight merely "to drive out the Zionist aggressors and to force them to return to the countries they came from."
During its annual conference in 2003, the Council issued a fatwa supporting suicide bombing operations against coalition forces in Iraq as well as against Israelis. In April 2004, Mawlawi published a fatwa on IslamOnline in response to the mutilation of the bodies of security contractors in Iraq, where he permitted such acts. Two weeks after the fatwa was published, the body of a Spanish officer, who died during a raid on a terrorist cell associated with the March 11 Madrid bombing, was disinterred and burned.
International Association of Muslim Scholars
Qaradawi is founder and president of the International Association of Muslim Scholars (IAMS), which was officially launched on July 11, 2004, in London, and is now based in Dublin. The group describes itself as a "pan-Muslim body," working on "safeguarding the Muslim identity and bridging the gap between the peoples and their rulers in the Islamic countries."
IAMS has issued several anti-Zionist fatwas. For example, in May 2004, Taskhiri said on Iranian TV: "We must support this [Palestinian] uprising as much as we can so it will realize its goals and cut off the treacherous Zionist hands and the American hands standing behind Zionism and supporting it." He has also called the U.S. the "mother of international terrorism."
In September 2004, Qaradawi led an IAMS delegation to Sudan to fact-find and help mediate between the government and rebel forces in Darfur. Following the tour of Darfur, the association's secretary general, Dr. Mohamed Saleem al-Awa, denied that genocide had taken place in the region. He also insisted that reports of widespread rapes and other atrocities were false, and alleged that Muslims in the region were being victimized by a Zionist conspiracy.Qatar Foundation's Education City The Al-Qaradawi Centre for Research and Modern Thought, established in April 2009, is a "center for jurisprudence" under the aegis of Qatar Foundation's Faculty of Islamic Studies (QFIS), an Islamic university in Qatar's EducationCity. One of six research centers the QFIS planned to build on its campus, the Al-Qaradawi Centre's specific mission is to research "the challenges and complexities of the developments unfolding in contemporary societies and to propagate the message of the middle path as a tenet of Islam for which Qatar's most prominent Islamic scholar, Dr. Yusuf al-Qaradawi, has devoted all his life," according to the Qatar Foundation's publication. In an August 2009 interview with the Qatar Foundation shortly after the Al-Qaradawi Centre opened, Dr. Hatem El-Karanshawy, the Founding Dean of QFIS, said Qaradawi is "very well known for his moderate thinking and for his ability to face the challenges facing Muslims all over the world."Sheikh Qaradawi's affiliation with the university goes beyond being the namesake of its research center. Qaradawi reportedly participated in the commemoration ceremony for students on May 6, 2008, where he announced the Sheikh Al-Qaradawi Scholarship program. Five annual scholarships will be offered to students per year for a Master of Arts in Islamic Studies with a specialization in Contemporary Fiqh (Jurisprudence). Qaradawi also shields the Qatar Foundation's other projects from controversy with support in religious terms. In October 2009, Qaradawi reportedly provided verbal support to a stem cell storage bank that sought to operate within the Qatar Foundation's Science and Technology Park. IslamOnline In 1999, Qaradawi founded the online media outlet IslamOnline in Qatar with support from the country's royal family. Qaradawi served as the site's chairman, heading a committee of scholars that oversaw its content. The site, published in both Arabic and English, enabled Qaradawi to reach the American public despite being banned from the country in 1999. The site often featured comments and religious rulings by Qaradawi or his European Council on Fatwa and Research. The site was dedicated to all facets of Islamic life, but it focused primarily on religious and political topics. It contained articles and religious rulings which supported violence against non-Muslims, as well as anti-Semitic, anti-Israel and anti-American content. In several news stories, Zionism was referred to as a "cancer," and numerous reports claimed that the close ties between the U.S. and Israel demonstrated their mutual desire to oppress Muslims. Several news stories were marked by conspiracy theories, including one entitled, "Israel Uses Chemical Weapons against Palestinians." Many of the fatwas posted on the site condoned violence. For instance, a July 2007 fatwat by Sheikh Faysal Mawlawi, deputy chairman of European Council for Fatwa and Research, read: "Martyr operations are not suicide and should not be deemed as unjustifiable means of endangering one's life." In March 2010, after more than a decade, a reorganization by Al-Balagh Cultural Society, the company that owns the site, resulted in an end to Qaradawi's affiliation with the site. OnIslam After Qardawi's cut his ties with the Web site IslamOnline, some of the editorial staff also left and created a new online media outlet, called OnIslam. Although no explicit connection between Qaradawi and OnIslam has been reported, it appears that Qaradawi is engaged in the new initiative. The same week OnIslam launched in October 2010, the site published an extensive interview it conducted with Qaradawi "on the occasion of the official launch." Much of the content from IslamOnline is available on OnIslam, including Qaradawi's own fatwas expressing support for "martyrdom operations," or suicide bombing against Israel. The site is structured in much the same way as IslamOnline, with sections on various religious and political topics. The site includes articles and religious rulings supporting violence against homosexuals, as well as anti-Semitic and anti-Israel content. On February 24, 2011, OnIslam launched a new section as part of its "special focus on the institution of the family" that is singularly dedicated condemning homosexuals, arguing against gay rights and providing Islamic fatwas that call for the "worldly punishment" of death for gays. An anti-Semitic fatwa by Sheikh Mohamed El-Moctar El-Shinqiti was posted to the site on January 5, 2009. The ruling by El-Shinqiti, the former director of an Islamic center in Lubbock, Texas, who no longer resides in the U.S., read, "The Israelis are currently proving to the world that the blood-thirsty sacredness of their Old Testament ancestors is still acceptable in their ideology." In a number of other fatwas available on the site, El-Shinqiti expresses support for "the resistance" against Israel. Muslim American Society The Muslim American Society (MAS), based in Falls Church, Virginia, claims to be "America's largest grassroots Muslim organization with over 50 chapters nationwide." The organization has ties to the Muslim Brotherhood, sponsored anti-Israel rallies in the U.S. and publishes anti-Semitic articles in its magazine, The American Muslims. Qaradawi is chairman (in absentia) of the Michigan-based Islamic American University (IAU), a subsidiary of MAS, according to information on the MAS Web site. He is also listed by the IAU as a faculty member. The IAU vice-chairman, Jamal Badawi, and IAU's founder, Salah Sultan, are members of Qaradawi's International Association of Muslim Scholars and the European Council for Fatwa and Research. Both Badawi and Sultan attended a conference in July 2007 honoring Qaradawi and his support for suicide bombing in Israel. In 2006 Sultan was a keynote speaker at a Hamas rally in Istanbul, according to Qaradawi's Web site IslamOnline. Another IAU board member, Abdul Lateef Arabiyat, is a leader of the Islamic Action Front, the Muslim Brotherhood's political wing in Jordan. Islamic Society of Boston ISB was formed in 1981 in an effort to help new Muslims in the Boston area preserve their Islamic identity, as stated by the society's Web site. Qaradawi was a member of the society's board of directors, according to its tax returns from 1998-2000. Qaradawi was reportedly also featured on ISB's Arabic-language brochure endorsing a new building project for which the Society was raising money. The brochure, which was published in 2003, states that Qaradawi is one of "several international Islamic personalities who are working to support the project." Qaradawi reportedly also appeared in a video that was shown at a November 2002 fundraiser for the ISB project in Boston. Nonetheless, the group has said that Qaradawi "has never played any role in the ISB." ISB's founder and first President was Abdurahman Alamoudi, a prominent Muslim-American community leader who pleaded guilty to accusations that he had illegal dealings with Libya and that he took part in a plot to assassinate Saudi Crown Prince Abdullah. He is currently serving a 23-year prison term. In 2005 the ISB filed a defamation lawsuit against 17 defendants -- journalists, scholars and activist groups who expressed concerns about the society's leaders. In May 2007, ISB agreed to drop the lawsuit, claiming victory because the deal also brought to an end a related lawsuit that threatened the construction of a mosque in Roxbury, Massachusetts. Al Taqwa Bank This Bahamas-based financial institution, designated as terrorist financiers by the U.S. Department of Treasury in 2001, concealed terrorists' holdings, according to U.S. intelligence, including those of Al Qaeda. Qaradawi was one of the institution's largest shareholders, according to a 1999 shareholders list. He also served on the bank's Sharia Board, overseeing its adherence to Islamic law. In January 2007, the Egyptian government froze the assets of Yusuf Nada, the head of the Al Taqwa Bank, because of his involvement in the Muslim Brotherhood, an Islamic extremist movement founded in Egypt that has spawned and inspired global terrorist groups, including the Palestinian terrorist group Hamas. Union of Good Qaradawi serves as the president of the Union of Good (UG), a charity organization that was designated as a terrorist entity by the U.S. Department of Treasury on November 12, 2008. The UG, established in 2000 and based in Saudi Arabia, is an umbrella organization that represents over 50 Islamic charities worldwide. According to the U.S. Department of Treasury, Hamas leadership founded the UG shortly after the inception of the second Intifada with the purpose of facilitating the transfer of funds to Hamas. The UG is linked with various Hamas-affiliated organizations and has transferred tens of millions of dollars to Hamas directly. Hamas uses the money to support terrorism and the families of suicide bombers, according to court documents. Several of the primary charities under the UG umbrella are also designated as terrorist entities by the U.S. for providing support to Hamas and other terrorist organizations, including Australian based Al-Aqsa Foundation, the United Kingdom-based International Palestine Relief and Development Fund (Interpal), and the France-based Comite de Bienfaisance et de Secours aux Palestiniens (CBSP). Another organization under the UG umbrella, the Al-Salah Society, was designated in August 2007 after it was discovered that the now defunct charity employed members of Izzedine al-Qassam Brigades, Hamas's military wing, during the first Intifada. In 2002, Israel outlawed the UG because of its links to Hamas. Five years later, Israel indicted four officials in the A-Ram Charity Committee in Jerusalem for receiving money from the UG. These officials were charged with channeling money to Hamas. According to the indictment, 1 million New Israeli Shekels had been transferred from the UG to Hamas in 2007.In His Own Words"Jerusalem is not for the Palestinians only, but for all Muslims, be they Arabs or not. It is a city for all Arabs, be they Muslims or Christians. Therefore it is incumbent on Muslims, wherever they may be, to shoulder their responsibility of defending Jerusalem and Al-Aqsa Mosqueâ€¦offering in the process their lives, their money and all they possess, or else they will be subject to Allah's punishmentâ€¦The Christian patriarch of Jerusalem handed it to `Umar ibn Al Khattab. Among the patriarch's conditions was that no Jew should live there." -January 24, 2011, fatwa negating Jewish attachment to Jerusalem (OnIslam) "There is nothing new about this planned project, except that the Zionist media machine has exercised its influence on the public opinion, turning them against Islamic manifestations. Now, their anti-Muslim feelings are rising day after day." -October 18, 2010, interview regarding the proposed Islamic center near Ground Zero in New York (OnIslam) "Not one inch of the land of Islam must remain in the grasp of infidels and occupiersâ€¦We must irrigate the tree of freedom with our blood. We must not leave the Palestinians alone. Every Muslim fulfills his role supporting our brothers in Palestine until they obtain their rightsâ€¦ Arms must not be laid downâ€”he who wants freedom must pay the price." -October 12, 2010, recorded speech played by the Hamas-affiliated Ministry of Religious Endowment in Gaza quoted by Sawt Al Aqsa, Gazan Radio station "I supported martyrdom operations, and I was not the only oneâ€¦This is a necessary thing, as I told them in London. Give the Palestinians tanks, airplanes, and missiles, and they won't carry out martyrdom operations. They are forced to turn themselves into human bombs, in order to defend their land, their honor, and their homeland." -February 8, 2010, interview with BBC Arabic "Throughout history, Allah has imposed upon the [Jews] people who would punish them for their corruption. The last punishment was carried out by Hitler. By means of all the things he did to them â€“ even though they exaggerated this issue â€“ he managed to put them in their place. This was divine punishment for them. Allah willing, the next time will be at the hand of the believers." -January 30, 2009, Sermon on Al-Jazeera TV (MEMRI) "I will shoot Allah's enemies, the Jews, and they will throw a bomb at me, and thus I will seal my life with martyrdom." -January 28, 2009, Sermon on Al-Jazeera TV (MEMRI) "Oh Allah, take this oppressive, Jewish, Zionist band of peopleâ€¦ do not spare a single one of them. Oh Allah, count their numbers, and kill them, down to the very last one." -January 9, 2009, Sermon on Al-Jazeera TV (MEMRI) "I do not automatically permit martyrdom operations. I permit them under specific constraints, when necessary â€“ like in the case of our Palestinian brothers, who are forced to defend themselves by turning themselves into bombs... I sanctioned bombings and sacrifice operations for the Palestinians only â€“ not because their enemies are Jews, but because they are occupiers, and the Palestinians cannot fight them. They kill Palestinians on a daily basis, destroy their homes, burn their fields, uproot their trees, and so on." -February 15, 2008, interview on Al Hiwar TV (MEMRI) "I support the Palestinian cause. I support the resistance and the jihad. I support Hamas, the Islamic Jihad, and Hezbollah. I oppose the peace that Israel and America wish to dictate. This peace is an illusion. I support martyrdom operations." -July 12-14, 2007, speech at the conference "Imam al-Qaradawi: A Forum for Students and Friends" (MEMRI) "Actually, Muslim countries differ over the issue of female circumcisionâ€¦ I personally support this under the current circumstances in the modern world. But whoever chooses not to do it is not considered to have committed a sin for it is mainly meant to dignify women as held by scholars." -July 1, 2007, Response to question about female circumcision (IslamOnline) "It is incumbent on Muslims, wherever they may be, to shoulder their responsibility of defending Jerusalem and Al-Aqsa Mosque.

We are not a nation of jackasses. We are a nation that should rage for the sake of Allah, His Prophet, and His book. We are the nation of Muhammad, and we must never accept the degradation of our religion." -February 3, 2006, sermon on Qatar Television, referring to what the Muslim nation must do in response to the Danish cartoon scandal. In the same sermon Qaradawi also argues that Jews are protected by laws that prohibit the debate on the number of victims in the "alleged Holocaust." (MEMRI) "We do not disassociate Islam from the war. On the contrary, disassociating Islam from the war is the reason for our defeat. We are fighting in the name of Islam....They fight us with Judaism, so we should fight them with Islam. They fight us with the Torah, so we should fight them with the Koranâ€¦ Religion must lead the war. This is the only way we can win." -February 25, 2006, sermon on Qatar Television (MEMRI) "O God, make Islam's word the highest, and the word of the enemies of Islam the lowest. O God, support us against your enemies, the enemies of Islam wherever they may be. O God, support us against the treacherous, usurper, oppressive, and arrogant Jews and against their allies, the plotting rancorous Crusadersâ€¦ O God, make fate turn against them and send affliction in their way and stop their domination of your land. Don't let them dominate any of your faithful subjects. O God, unleash your might on them; the might that cannot be faced by criminal people. O Godâ€¦ defeat them and give us victory over them. O God, support our brother mujahidin for your sake in the land of Palestine, Iraq, Afghanistan, Chechnya, Kashmir, the Philippines, and all Muslim landsâ€¦." -June 10, 2005, sermon on Qatar television (BBC Monitoring, June 13, 2005) "The battle between us and the Jews began when they occupied the land of Palestine, expelled its residents, and perpetrated all their deeds. They are the ones who started the hostility, not usâ€¦ "[During the time of the prophet Muhammad] the problem began with the Jews, and by themâ€¦. [They] sided with [those who fought against Muhammad] and abandoned the Muslimsâ€¦they wanted to exploit this opportunity to bring about the Muslims' total annihilationâ€¦."The problem with the Jews is not their faith or law, but of greed and the events that led to this [Muslim] attitude toward the Jews since the time of the Prophetâ€¦ ever since they began to covet the holy and blessed land of Palestineâ€¦. "I say 'the hostile Crusaders,' and I mean 'the aggressive Americans who lean towards Israel'â€¦ "A few years ago the Vatican published a document proclaiming the Jews innocent of spilling Jesus' blood, but whoever reads history knows how the Jews incited the Roman governor to crucify Jesusâ€¦we believe that the Jews, I mean, they commit this crime." -January 16, 2005, Al -Jazeera TV (MEMRI) "[A campaign against me] has been unleashed by World Zionism and its strategic ally the United Statesâ€¦.The United States has proven its ability to manipulate the written, audio and visual media and to recruit people to condemn and defame anyoneâ€¦."O God, support our brothers in Palestine and Iraq and our Mujahidin brothers everywhereâ€¦.deal with the arrogant tyrants and aggressors against Muslims, oppressive Zionists and arrogant Americans. O God, deal with every oppressor of Muslims. O God, deal with them powerfully." -January 7, 2005, sermon on Qatar television (BBC Monitoring, January 11, 2005) "Oh My nation, the struggle has become obligatoryâ€¦.We should no longer speak with words; rather let the spears have their sayâ€¦ "The Crusaders have returned once moreâ€¦They spread perversion in the landâ€¦They are again spilling blood, without shame of exposure. And the Shi'ites play well the role assigned to them. The treacherous role, whose beginning and end are known to allâ€¦. "They gleefully abuse the victims' corpses, and violate the honor of women, fearing no retribution or punishmentâ€¦.Don't you see how conspiracies against Islam are hatched openly in the light of day?...Don't you see how the Jews commit outragesâ€¦They violated our Palestine, and declared that they will not leave itâ€¦. "Young men who offer up their blood â€“ and he who offers up his blood is blamelessâ€¦" -January 5, 2005, poem posted to Qaradawi.net (MEMRI) "Look for the Zionists behind every disaster. We have found their fingers in Darfur, and their fingers are in Iraq and Kashmir. Everywhere where the Muslims can be hurt â€“ you will find them there. It obligates us to be cautious of them." September 10, 2004, interview with Al Sharq, an Arabic-language Qatari newspaper (Qaradawi.net) "Fighting American civilians in Iraq is a duty for all Muslimsâ€¦ Americans in Iraq are all fighters and invaders. There is no difference between a civilian and a military American in Iraq." -August 31, 2004, address to the Journalists Syndicate in Cairo (Associated Press, September 2, 2004) "Allah Almighty is just; through his infinite wisdom he has given the weak a weapon the strong do not have and that is their ability to turn their bodies into bombs as Palestinians do." -July 7, 2004, interview with BBC TWO's Newsnight "O God, deal with your enemies, the enemies of Islam. O God, spare us their plots, blunt their weapons, and remove their empire and power from your earthâ€¦O God, make the word of Islam superior and the word of the enemies of Islam inferior. O God, we turn to You against them. Spare us their evil." -April 30, 2004, sermon on Qatar television (BBC Monitoring, May 2, 2004) "Women's participation in the martyrdom suicide operations carried out in Palestine - given the status of the land as an occupied territory, in addition to a lot of sacrilegious acts perpetrated by the Jews against the sanctuaries â€“ is one of the most praised acts of worshipâ€¦"I think the committed Muslim women in Palestine have the right to participate and have their own role in jihad and to attain martyrdom." -May 25, 2003, fatwa (The Jerusalem Post, May 25, 2003) "The American aggression on the whole region wants to impose the total American hegemony on us, and such a procedure cannot be accepted at all. The one who launches attacks against the American presence is really carrying the spirit of true defenders. When one dies while carrying out such attacks, then he is a martyr, in sha' Allah if his intention was to do the act for Allah's Cause, even though some people consider him committing a wrong." -March 24, 2003, fatwa on "seeking martyrdom by attacking US military bases in the Gulf" (IslamOnline) "America is the Pharaoh of the new era, and the greatest deceiver in the world â€“ killing people and assassinating them without properly charging them [legally]â€¦. "Through the Iraqi issue America has distracted us from the Palestinian issueâ€¦as they distracted the world before by the Al Qaeda movement and Al Qaeda's leaders â€“ bin Laden and al-Zawahiriâ€¦."You can say that what is happening in Palestine is done by Israel with the help of America, or by America with the help of Israel, and there is no difference between them... What is happening in Iraq is serving Zionism and Israel. The first to benefit from all of it is Israelâ€¦.Look for Israel, look for the Zionism â€“ all of it is behind these events. You will find their hidden fingers behind many of the events." -March 14, 2003, Friday sermon (Qaradawi.net) "The Israelis might have nuclear bombs but we have the children bomb and these human bombs must continue until liberation. "Calling for peace at this time is treason." -April 28, 2002, Al Jazeera program "The Islamic Law and Life" (BBC Monitoring, April 30, 2002) "Muslims are not allowed to indulge in any form of dealings with the militant Jews who tend to wage war against Islam and Muslimsâ€¦."The choice of peace is no longer practicable for us Muslims... it is obligatory upon Muslims to boycott the Jews economically, culturally and politicallyâ€¦."[Muslims] should not buy from those who support the Jews and Zionistsâ€¦ It is well known that America plays the greater role in supporting those Jews and Zionists." -April 28, 2002, fatwa (IslamOnline) "Has fighting colonizers become a criminal and terrorist act for some sheikhs...Israeli society was completely military in its make-up and did not include any civilians. Men and women are soldiers. They are all occupying soldiersâ€¦."I am astonished that some sheikhs deliver fatwas that betray the mujahedin, instead of supporting them and urging them to sacrifice and martyrdom." -December 4, 2001, in response to condemnations of a suicide attack that killed 26 Israelis (Agence France-Presse, December 4, 2001) "If the enemy of Islam invades a Muslim country, Jihad becomes an individual obligation upon the people of that countryâ€¦As for Muslims living beyond the territories [that were invaded] they are required to back the wronged with all means possible."
-October 10, 2001, fatwa supporting resistance to American forces in Afghanistan (IslamOnline)
"If such attacks were carried out by a Muslim â€“ as some biased groups claim â€“ then we, in the name of our religion, deny the act and incriminate the perpetrator."
-September 13, 2001, condemning 9-11 (IslamOnline)
"These martyr operations led by the Palestinian fighters against Israel spring from resistance and all Muslims who kill to defend their land, honor and religion are martyrs."
-May 12, 2001 (Agence France-Presse, June 2, 2001)
"Israeli society is a military society, and every person is either a soldier in the Israeli Army or a reserve soldier. This society must be intimidated, until they return to the countries from which they came."
-April 11, 2001, interview with Al Jazeera
"They are not suicide operations. These are heroic martyrdom operations, and the heroes who carry them out don't embark on this action out of hopelessness and despair but are driven by an overwhelming desire to cast terror and fear into the hearts of the oppressors."
-April 2001 interview with Al Raya, a Qatari newspaper (Los Angeles Times, May 27, 2001)
"Groups like Hamas, Jihad and Hezbollah are legitimately fighting the forces that occupied their land, made their people homeless, confiscated their futures. Their religion (Islam) makes it obligatory for them to defend their land and homesâ€¦.
"[Suicide bombers] are siding with the oppressed and with the powerless. Such operations limit the tyranny and wrong done to themâ€¦.
"America gives Israel absolute and unconditional support. This has led to Israel wrecking havoc in earth, killing women, children and men."
-February 7, 2001 (IslamOnline)
The processes of normalization with the Zionist regime are prohibited and unacceptable from the Shariah [Islamic law] standpoint. This normalization necessarily involves recognition by Arabs and Muslims of Zionist sovereignty over the lands that they usurped and arrogated from the Muslimsâ€¦.
"The Islamic resistance in Lebanon and Palestine represents the glorious face of the Muslim Umma and serves as an example to that effect. As for the martyrs, I have issued a religious edict blessing the martyrdom operations in which a given Muslim fighter turns himself or herself into a human bomb that casts terror in the hearts of the enemyâ€¦.
"If we can't carry out acts of Jihad ourselves, we at least should support and prop up the mujahideen financially and morally so that they will be steadfast until God's victoryâ€¦"
-August 1999 interview with Gaza-based Islamist weekly Al Istiklal (published by Palestine Times, a pro-Hamas Web publication)
"There should be no dialogue with these people [Israelis] except with swords."
-January 7, 1998, Associated Press

Somewhere to review books I'm reading without giving away any spoilers!
Title: Lost in Translation
Author: Audrey Davis
Publisher: Tanzanite Books
Published: January 11th 2021
This is the story of Charlotte Egerton and her family’s move from England to Switzerland. The first thing I want to say about the characters in this book is that everyone needs a best friend like Ruth in their lives! She’s a fantastic, supportive friend, always there to lend a listening ear or say exactly what she thinks but with humour and not malice. The exact opposite is true of Charlotte’s husband, Dom. They’ve been married for ten years, have two lovely sons but he’s an egocentric workaholic and Charlotte is starting to doubt if he is faithful. Despite this, he tells them they’re moving to live in Switzerland, denies straying and rides roughshod over any qualms or fears expressed by Charlotte.
The story is about settling into a new country, one where some customs, languages and expectations are different, learning to drive on the right hand side of the road and how to ski, for example! It is about making new friends, sorting out where things are and embracing a new way of life. It is a story with a mix of humour, betrayal, laughter, friendship and new possibilities for them all. There are plenty of dramatic moments and it has a heartwarming finale.
Thanks to the author for my copy of this book which I have voluntarily read and honestly reviewed.
Charlotte Egerton and family are off to Switzerland, after husband Dom bags a big-time job promotion.
But Charlotte isn’t exactly yodelling with delight at the prospect. Not since a chance discovery cast a shadow over her ten-year marriage. And navigating twisty Swiss roads and getting to grips with French only adds to her woes…
Following a bumpy encounter with an arrogant German, Charlotte is far from convinced the expat life is for her.
With doubts about Dom — and concerns for her best friend, Ruth — plaguing her mind, will Charlotte embrace the Swiss way of life, or are some mountains just too hard to conquer?
Embark on a journey filled with laughter, tears and lessons in love. Sometimes you just have to seize the day…
Praise for Audrey Davis
‘Warm, witty and highly entertaining.’
‘The author never fails to provide humour and pathos in equal measure.’
‘The story-telling is rich, intelligent and rewarding.’

Dear Mark Hamilton:
Neothink material is just… OUTSTANDING!… IMPOWERING!… INSPIRING!..and REWARDING to read & read!–so much so–that’s it’s hard to put down.
I was contacted by the Neothink Society with this heavenly gift, a few years back and personally it’s confirmation to my earlier learning with the Western Mystery Tradition; when I started reading Neothink publications, I could hardly believe my eyes…I mean, what I was seeing on paper–in white & black print. Something we all need to read and help in up lifting the consciousness of every man, woman and child…with answers for life’s most sought out questions, found no where else.. you know…food for the mind, body & soul; so, we can move forward to enjoy a wonderful world. Because a new day & way is Here!..to offer us real understanding.
Mark Hamilton, Author of The Neothink Heirloom Package, Mentor/Founder of The Neothink Society
The TVP (The Twelve Visions Party) are instrumental in giving us a chance…maybe our last
chance, to contribute in our own salvation …If you value anything in life–and I would not trade that for any-
thing–and that’s some of the things Neothink means to me! Oh, I can go on … and on…but, Mr. Hamilton, I accept the opportunity to become a Neothink Warrior , too. Thanks!

Cinema Guild has acquired U.S. rights to The Novelist’s Film, the Silver Bear Grand Jury Prize winner from Korean writer-director Hong Sangsoo, which recently made its world premiere at the 2022 Berlin Film Festival. The film is the third Silver Bear winner in as many years from Hong—who won Best Director for The Woman Who Ran in 2020 and Best Screenplay for Introduction in 2021—and will be the 11th of the director’s works released by Cinema Guild in the last seven years.
In The Novelist’s Film, Lee Hyeyoung (Hong’s In Front of Your Face) plays Junhee, a novelist who has grown disenchanted with her writing. On a trip to see an old friend, she runs into a film director who was set to adapt one of her novels before the project fell through. One chance encounter leads to another and soon she finds herself having lunch with Kilsoo (Kim Minhee), a well-known actress also questioning her role as an artist.
It’s then that Junhee has an epiphany: she will make a film starring Kilsoo, and it won’t be like other films. It will be the novelist’s film.
“For anyone who thinks they’ve seen everything that Hong Sangsoo can do,” said Cinema Guild President Peter Kelly, “The Novelist’s Film proves once again that there is no end to the surprises and delights this director has in store for audiences.”
Other upcoming releases from Cinema Guild include Fern Silva’s Rock Bottom Riser and Ramon and Silvan Zürcher’s The Girl and the Spider. Recent releases include Payal Kapadia’s A Night of Knowing Nothing, Ernst Karel and Veronika Kusumaryati’s Expedition Content and Hong’s Introduction.
Cinema Guild’s Peter Kelly negotiated the deal for Hong’s 27th feature with Youngjoo Suh of Finecut.

Around six hundred veterinary students from Canada, the United States and even beyond were present at the 30th National Veterinary Scholars Symposium that took place at Worcester State University in Worcester, Massachusetts, from July 24th to July 27th with some of the students coming from as far away as Germany, France, and the Netherlands.
The Cummings School of Veterinary Medicine at Tufts University was the host of the symposium that is responsible for showcasing the accomplishments by veterinary students of mostly first- and second-year that are completing biomedical research projects of around ten to twelve weeks during their summer. Each of the veterinary scholars is provided with a mentor as well as a laboratory for conducting a research project driven by a hypothesis which is developed by the scholar and his mentor. The students also have to attend seminars as well as discussions on careers in the field of science. The scholars have to present their findings to their peers and the attending faculty at the end of the program.
The Dean, Terence Flotte, MD, of the University of Massachusetts Medical School, gave the keynote address on the topic, “Impact of Research Collaborations Between DVMs and MDs.” A plenary address was given by Dr. Tim Leard of Boehringer Ingelheim on “Vaccines and Immunotherapeutics: Experiences and Opportunities in Animal Health.” And another one was delivered by Charles Shoemaker of Cummings on “How Re-engineered Antibodies from Camelids may be the Antibody Therapeutics of the Future.”
The symposium has highlighted some ways in which the veterinary scientists use to advance, basic and applied research for supporting evidence-based medicine. Furthermore, it enabled participants to gain insights into the options of careers in biomedical research. The meeting also featured poster presentations from many veterinary students. Students as well as the faculty attended the breakout sessions also on critical care, cancer biology, antimicrobial resistance, infectious diseases, regenerative medicine, and pathways for researching career development.

The Burmese military has overthrown the country’s civilian government and is trampling on the rights of their people to live and express themselves freely. Since the February 1 coup in Burma (Myanmar), the country’s oppressive military has killed or imprisoned hundreds of activists protesting their rule. Burma’s vaunted “transition to democracy” has collapsed, and the generals who terrorized the country for decades are back in full possession of the state.
It’s a horrific turn of events—but not a surprising one. Rohingya activists and other Burmese ethnic minorities warned against this for years. Even while the civilian government of Aung San Suu Kyi was partially in power, the military committed a genocide against the Rohingya and persecuted other minorities. Burma’s leaders—both civilian and military—worked together to disenfranchise the Rohingya, strip them of citizenship, and force them to live under apartheid conditions.
U.S. policymakers should have acknowledged sooner that Burma’s “democratic transition” was a sham. Instead, they poured millions of dollars into aid projects that were forced to meet conditions set by the Burmese government. And while some U.S. leaders spoke out against the persecution of the Rohingya and other minorities, the State Department never formally acknowledged the genocide or supported international legal mechanisms to seek justice.
The tragic events unfolding in Burma demand the U.S. shift course. The Burmese military’s actions have torn the mask off the country’s “democratic transition,” revealing the face of a genocidal military regime that never really left power. U.S. policy toward Burma must acknowledge this reality. We call on the U.S. State Department to:
- Officially recognize the 2017 mass expulsion and ongoing persecution of the Rohingya as a genocide under international law; and
- Support efforts through international mechanisms to bring the perpetrators to justice, including the case brought by the Gambia against Myanmar’s authorities in the International Court of Justice of the United Nations.
Add your name to our petition below to amplify these demands! Read the full text of the petition below the signing widget.
Petition to Secretary of State Antony Blinken and U.S. State Department
We, the undersigned, write to express our gratitude for your actions to hold the Burmese military accountable for their violent February 1 coup against the country’s elected civilian government. We urge you to follow through on the steps you announced, while also supporting broader demands to bring Burma’s military leaders to justice. This requires pressing for accountability not only for the events following February 1, but for the multitude of crimes the Burmese military (Thatmadaw) has committed against ethnic minorities, including the ongoing genocide against the Rophingya people. However unwittingly, prior U.S. policy enabled these abuses. The recent military coup invites a change of course.
First, we recognize and appreciate the steps you and other administration officials have already taken to seek justice and hold the Burmese military junta accountable, including applying new targeted sanctions to many of the individuals and entities responsible for the February coup. We now urge you to go one crucial step further by issuing a formal genocide determination.
This recommendation is based on a substantial and growing body of evidence. Numerous human rights observers, international bodies, and legal scholars have already concluded that the Burmese military’s actions in August 2017 (which were themselves the culmination of decades of persecution, apartheid, and disenfranchisement) meet the definition of genocide. The prior administration even went so far as to acknowledge that their assessment of the events of August 2017 were “consistent with” the finding of genocide, but they stopped short of issuing a formal genocide determination.
While we are grateful for the steps prior U.S. administrations have taken to condemn the Thatmadaw’s actions, this failure to issue a formal determination sends a mixed message. Sadly, this same inconsistent approach has characterized U.S. policy toward Burma for too long. U.S. officials have criticized the disenfranchisement of the Rohingya and apartheid conditions prevailing in part of the country’s Rakhine State, yet they have also fed a false narrative that Burma was undergoing a “democratic transition,” and that forceful measures to seek justice and accountability would risk derailing these efforts.
While such a strategy may have appeared justified at one time, it is plain now it did not work. The events of February 1 tore the mask off of Burma’s supposed “democratic transition” and made clear that the military never truly ceded authority to civilian leadership. Nor did the civilian government—even when it was nominally in power— take meaningful steps to hold the Thatmadaw accountable for their crimes. As USAID Administrator Samantha Power told a UUSC audience in 2020, the U.S. strategy to align with the civilian government (sometimes at the cost of muting urgent human rights concerns) was “a gamble that did not pay off.”
The tragic events unfolding in Burma since February 1 invite a change of course. This time, the United States should place support for human rights, justice, and accountability at the center of our foreign policy with respect to Burma. Specifically, we urge you to:
- Officially recognize that the 2017 mass expulsion and ongoing persecution of the Rohingya constitute a genocide under international law.
- Support efforts through international mechanisms to bring the perpetrators of the genocide to justice, including the case brought by the Gambia against Myanmar’s authorities in the International Court of Justice of the United Nations.
The events of February 1 and after have highlighted as strongly as possible the need for a new U.S. approach to Burma. We believe this administration is capable of crafting a more coherent policy that is grounded in the pursuit of justice and support for the communities and civil society organizations who have been harmed most by the Thatmadaw’s crimes—and who are already leading the international movement for accountability and redress. The United States can and should lend its voice to these efforts.

State history was made Sept. 11 in a 4A South Puget Sound League crossover football game when visiting Tahoma High School defeated Rogers, 48-41, at Sparks Stadium.
The score was not as important as the passing yards that were racked up that night. Amandre Williams of Tahoma and Griffen Stacy of Rogers became the first high school quarterbacks in Washington to throw for 500 or more yards in the same game.
By The News Tribune’s count, the 6-foot-3 Williams completed 37 of 50 passes for 579 yards and five touchdowns. Not only was that passing total a new SPSL record, it ranks No. 2 all-time in state history behind Shadle Park standout Brett Rypien’s 613, set last season.
Stacy’s effort was not far off the pace. He was 29-for-52 for 500 yards and six TDs.
Those totals elicited the same are-you-kidding-me smile and brief shake of the head from both coaches — Tahoma’s Tony Davis and Rogers’ Gene Bowen.
When Davis took over at Tahoma some 20 years ago, he ran the wishbone offense with future University of Washington and NFL defensive back Omare Lowe at quarterback. Those types of passing numbers would have been unfathomable.
“If you would have told me five years ago that one of my kids would throw for 500 yards, I would have laughed,” Davis said. “In fact, me and one of my assistant coaches on that staff with Lowe did laugh, because I don’t think we threw for that total in that first season.”
Much like the NFL and college, high school passing numbers are skyrocketing. Prep teams are copying the offenses used at those levels, making nights where a high school quarterback throws for 500 yards likely to happen more in the future.
Even though the spread offense has been around for almost 90 years, the idea didn’t really catch on until the late 1980s with the inception of the “run-and-shoot” offense.
The term spread offense refers to the horizontal stretching of the field, usually by multiple-receiver sets. And that makes it hard to defend.
“The hardest thing about defending it is it is not one offense,” said University of Puget Sound coach Jeff Thomas, whose Loggers run the spread. “The wishbone, the split-T, the West Coast offense — you have a vision of what they are, and people know those games. The spread offense is not one single entity. It is truthfully the idea of spreading the field.”
Thomas points to what the University of Oregon does — the Ducks predominantly use the formation to run out of it. And at Washington State University? There is a reason why quarterback Connor Halliday leads the country in passing yards.
“You can run Oregon’s zone-read out of it, or WSU’s pass-it-every-single-down out of it, or something in between,” Thomas said.
By 2012, Davis and his coaching staff at Tahoma were ready to change their power-running offense. So they implemented the no-huddle, shotgun-spread offense.
“In the old scheme, if you are really disciplined, especially against good defenses, you could put together long scoring drives 4 to 5 yards at a time,” Davis said. “But what we realized, you have to have a play to get big chunks of yards because it was hard to go 80 yards at 4 to 5 yards at a time.”
Davis, also the school’s athletic director, walked the hallways and saw an opportunity to recruit athletes with an offense that played fast, gained yards and scored points.
“We had kids who were not crazy about what was going on with Tahoma football,” Davis said. “To spread it out, now you could go to the point guard on the basketball team and tell him in the new offense, he could catch 30 to 40 passes. We’ve reaped the benefit of that.”
In this area, the offense has spread like wildfire. Ten years ago — of the 66 high school programs The News Tribune wrote preview capsules on — 15 ran the spread as their base offense. This season, that number has more than doubled to 32.
Another advantage of the offense is being able to get more snaps, which leads to more chances to score.
In the old SPSL days in the 1980s and early 1990s — when Lakes played playoff powerhouses such as Puyallup, Curtis, Rogers, Clover Park, even Spanaway Lake, who balanced runs and passes — the average amount of plays the Lancers would run would be between 50 and 60, said coach Dave Miller, who was then the school’s offensive coordinator.
Now, Miller hopes he can get 75 to 80 offensive snaps in a 48-minute game.
“I like it. I think it’s fun and exciting for the kids,” Miller said. “You get more players involved. The fans like it. It’s good for the game.”
And now, records are being set.
Williams’ showing on Sept. 11 broke former teammate Shane Nelson’s SPSL single-game passing record of 508 yards, set last season against Kentlake.
Rypien’s monster game last season against Mount Spokane in which he threw for 613 yards is not only the state record, but a top-20 mark nationally. Shadle Park runs a hurry-up spread offense.
And look at what North Carolina prepster Will Grier accomplished in 2012. As the Davidson Day School quarterback, Grier threw for 837 yards in a 104-80 victory over Harrells Christian Academy. That national record came out of a no-huddle spread offense.
Most point to the offense as the primary reason 300-yard passing performances seem to happen with regularity. But the quarterbacks are better, too — and far more prepared and organized than they used to be.
It was a mere 12 hours after the pass-crazy affair that Bowen had uploaded the game film for his players to watch.
The first one to view it was Stacy, who watched all of the team’s 78 offensive snaps all before his third-period class started.
“There were a lot of 10- to 12-yard out routes I threw, and there were a lot of yards (amassed) after the catch,” Stacy said. “That is when it set in how many yards I threw for.
“It was like a video game.”
One of the other connections between Stacy and Williams is they both regularly work with quarterback gurus through the Barton Football Academy, based out of Portland.
Year-round work is now a requisite, Stacy said.
“In the offseason, I really worked on footwork and mechanics, because I felt like I had a problem driving the football (on passes),” Stacy said. “And during the season, I watch film at least an hour a night. It starts with watching the game we just played, and seeing not only my mistakes, but maybe what our offense can do better, all in an effort of being a better teammate. And then I watch film on the team we play upcoming … just studying their defensive tendencies.”
Jordan Kitna, the quarterback at Lincoln High School, has also attended Barton camps even though his father, Jon, spent 16 years in the NFL as a quarterback.
“Numbers have gotten so gaudy in high school where kids are throwing for 450 yards every week, but doing it by not once throwing it over 10 yards on a play — and that is not realistic,” said Jon Kitna, now in his third season as the Lincoln coach.
“Because colleges are now watching everything, from footwork to all the little stuff you do outside football season … getting out to camps is beneficial, especially for guys up here. Quarterbacks from California, Florida and Texas can be outside all year long, and this is a way for us to keep up with that.”
‘A PERFECT STORM’
While the passing numbers keep increasing it still takes a special set of circumstances — big plays, porous defense and a near-equal amount of scoring — to produce a national record.
That’s exactly what happened when Grier set the record with 837 yards.
“That game just happened to be a perfect storm of explosive offensive football,” Davidson Day coach Chad Grier said, “and a nightmare for both defensive coordinators.”
Last week, Tahoma and Rogers went back-and-forth.
For Tahoma, Williams was on point with every throw, utilizing a host of wide receivers that included Cole Peckham, Tyson Cronin, Jacob Kutch and even tailback Marvis Bailey — all of whom caught touchdown passes. And 23 of his completions were for 10 yards or longer — but only three were of 40 yards or longer.
“My arm felt fine,” Williams said. “It wasn’t as sore as my body.”
And for Rogers, all six of Stacy’s touchdown throws were hauled in by Kyler Ooley, who scored on plays of 64, 71 and 78 yards.
“I had never seen an athlete … take over a game like that,” Stacy said about his teammate.
Looking forward, expect to see more passes and passing yards. And maybe even a record.
“Anything can happen in a football game,” Stacy said. “What (Williams and I) did, I could see it happening again — in the next game or 20 years from now.”

Thus, modernism was in a transient stage where writers were attempting make strives to move from the old forms of literature. In observation of Langston Hughes, he was considered a modernist that contributed a major part in the African American community. He was one the founders who incorporated jazz and poetry. This was during the period of the Harlem Renaissance when the African American culture was at its highest.
Poets Claude Mckay and Langston Hughes are both well known for their literary contributions to the Harlem Renaissance. Roughly spanning from the 1910s to the 1930s, about two decades, the Harlem Renaissance is pinned as the intellectual, social, and artistic explosion of African American culture. At the same time, African Americans were treated as second-class citizens and dealt with a common consensus of disdain from the white folk. Authors and poets during this time were determined to write on the sufferings and strengths within the black culture. Through literary works such as "America" by Claude McKay and "Freedom" by Langston Hughes, the struggles encompassing the black experience are realistically portrayed through reoccurring themes
From the 1900’s to the 1950’s poetry began changing to a more contemporary style of writing, a style that would bring forth more readers of the modern era to see the world around them in a different point of view. Many, many different poets emerged from the modern age of poetry; some names being very familiar such as Robert Frost, T.S. Elliot, and Sylvia Plath. Some of these poets made the poetry that we study today what it is; in our discussion we will be talking about Ezra Pound, Gertrude Stein, and E.E. Cummings. Ezra Pound is best known as the founder of imagism and for his usage of it in his poems. Imagism being clarity of expression through the use of precise images; this being the pinnacle device used to convey his point across in a
The Harlem Renaissance,was an explosion of African American culture,especially in the creative arts, and the most influential movement in African American literary history. Making use of the literary, musical, theatrical, and visual arts, contributors to this movement sought to revive the attributes of the “African American” from the stereotypes that the white had labeled them. They also sought to let loose of conservative moral values and bourgeois shame about aspects of their lives that the white majority would have seen as an reinforcement of racist beliefs. The contributors to this movement did not particularly belong to a major school of thought. They came from all over the country to give rise to this movement.
“I, Too” Poetry Analysis Poet Langston Hughes has written many great works including, I, Too. The poem was written in the nineteen twenties when Hughes, along with other African Americans, were facing segregation everywhere. This poem was one of the many pieces that was a part of the Harlem Renaissance, an African American movement in the fine arts. As the piece focuses on the struggles and hope for the future, it was definitely appropriate to be a part of the evolution of African American artists.
Through an extensive reference to recent social history and cultural studies pieces of literature, Eric Lott seeks to examine the role played by the blackface minstrel show during the prevalent political struggles that essentially saw the start of the civil war. In this account, Lott paints an image of the blackface minstrel as a show that primarily appropriated black dialect music and dance. In a similar regard, the show is perceived as one that, at some point applauded the black culture but unfortunately, and in an ironic manner, the show contributed to what was famously known as “blackening of America.” Additionally, through the content of his literary work, and reference to the blackface minstrel, Lott gives a novel interpretation of the very first and popularly renowned form of the 19th-century entertainment (Lott).
“I want to jump into you and feel this life as you do Perhaps then I could give as you do perhaps then I could live as you do” Love is elastic(2015:1) When we want to express our deepest feelings, our fears, our concerns and our sense of nothingness, words sometimes seem inadequate. But in poetry, structures don’t matter, meaning does. We open our mouths and before we think of editing, or of what people will say, we speak.
Hanna Santaren Mrs Maria Pia Reyes English Language Arts 9 5/10/2017 Poetry Analysis: Langston Hughes’ “Dream Deferred” INTRODUCTION “Dream Deferred,” more commonly known as “Harlem,” was written by African-American poet Langston Hughes in 1951. Hughes was an activist for the African-American community in America. According to biography.com, he played a big role in the Harlem renaissance which was a cultural movement the promoted the acceptance of black people and culture. The oppression in the USA was still apparent during the time “Dream Deferred” was written.
There are a multitude of techniques poets use to make their poetry both pithy and complex. Due to the limitations of certain poetic forms, poets may be forced to use the devices of meter and diction to accurately express their commentary. Some poets may choose to use allusions to relate a number of scenarios to a certain theme, utilizing the historical context of these scenarios as further material for interpretation. Other poets may choose the opposite approach to economy, intentionally writing little, but carefully using diction and metaphor to allow the reader to “say a lot” themselves by interpreting the work in a number of different ways. Although the poets John Keats, W.H. Auden, and Sylvia Plath use these techniques differently, they
"To think or speak poetically is to adopt a distorted stance toward the ordinary world..." and to do so is with the use of figurative language (Gibbs 1). Figurative language is the point at which you utilize a word or expression that does not make use of its literal meaning. Authors who utilize figurative language, use this to make their work more fascinating or more emotional than the exact language which essentially states simple facts. Authors frequently use figurative language to make unfamiliar things, settings and circumstances more relatable for the reader. Poems, specifically, depend intensely on figurative language.
“Sympathy” is a poem written by Paul Laurence Dunbar. Paul Dunbar is an American poet during the 19th and early 20th centuries. A child of former slaves, Paul Dunbar writes this poem to express his feelings toward slavery itself, but specifically the effect on his own life in the 1800’s. If one were to read “Sympathy,” for the first time it could be easy to misinterpret that this poem is actually about a caged bird. However there is a deeper meaning to this poem that has even inspired another famous poem by another famous poet, Maya Angelou.
Movements involved the songs described the Black Panther Party and the Black Liberation Movement. Designed as uprisings to political, economic, and social stances toward the ideal of separatism. Separatism as an idea for both movements because of lack of civil rights based off US history, blacks who descendants of slaves could not possess equal opportunities as their white counterparts. Black Americans from the 1970s and onward still lived in a type of enslavement where the oppression lies within their own history robbed from them. Common, Tupac Shakur, and Dead Prez with The Last Poets described those two movements depicting the representations in their music to their legacy of Black Power to the black people of today.
Langston Hughes and America Langston Hughes, as renowned poet, a leader during the Harlem Renaissance, and a man of color, had written poetry during a particularly difficult time for people of color. Considered a founding father of Jazz Poetry, using various techniques, and styles of poetry to convey story in a rhythmic style. Many of Hughes’ poems focus heavily on America or the American dream. While reading “Let America be America again” it is evident that this poem is a description of the American Dream, “Let it be the dream it used to be. Let it be the pioneer on the plain Seeking a home where he himself is free.”
A recognizable rap group in this era would be “The Last Poets”, who used aggressive but socially-conscience lyrics that played a major role in the birth of Hip-Hop. There are three major time zones involved with the evolution of rap and it is the early era, mid era, and modern era. In the late 1960’s, a group of African-American started to gather frequently in Harlem, New York, to share their poetry,
I was born in Cartagena, Colombia which is a country that have its origin time, from the rebellion of the colonies against the Spanish monarchy. It is the rebellion that characterized my country in favor to defend human rights and social inequality by our governors. Small guerilla groups were conformed with social ideals in profit the population to fight the injustices and corruption by the state. That definition of "guerilla" was known to me in early history class at school. Around 2000, the term "guerilla" was regular sounds at the radio, but in this time its purposes was different from the base that the group was created which was to fight Colombia 's inequality and corruption government at that time.

The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ and the love of God and the fellowship of the Holy Spirit be with all of you. (2 Corinthians 13:13)
Catholic apologist Frank J. Sheed described the relationship of the Holy Spirit to the Father and Son:
Father and Son love each other, with infinite intensity. What we could not know, if it were not revealed to us, is that they unite to express their love, and that expression is a third divine Person. . . . Each gives Himself wholly to the outpouring of His love for the Other, holding nothing back—indeed the very thought of holding back is ridiculous; if They give Themselves at all, They can give Themselves only totally—They possess nothing but Their totality! The uttered love of Father and Son is infinite, lacks no perfection that They have, is God, a Person, a Someone[—the Holy Spirit.]
The Holy Spirit has sometimes been called the “neglected” Person of the Trinity, the One who is “lonely.” Perhaps because he is referred to as “Spirit,” we find ourselves unable to imagine him, as we can Jesus. But we must rid ourselves of all such thoughts. Instead, we must embrace the truth that the Holy Spirit is God, a Person who fully shares life with the Father and the Son. Getting that straight prepares the way for us to come to know and love him more.
The fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, generosity, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control. (Galatians 5:22-23)
Many Christians regard love, joy, peace, and the other fruit of the Spirit as feelings, and they are disappointed when they try to stir them up. However, St. Paul presents the fruit of the Spirit not as feelings but primarily as behaviors that replace the works of the flesh (Galatians 5:19-21). For example, acts of love correct hateful conduct, peaceful initiatives calm fighting, patient behaviors replace angry outbursts, exercising self-control checks lustful acts, and so on. We receive these behaviors when we ask the Holy Spirit for the grace to conduct ourselves as Jesus would. Then we perform the actions that manifest the fruit of the Spirit. For example, to grow in love, we must do the loving thing in every situation, serving even someone we do not like. The Spirit will honor our repeating of this behavior by producing the fruit of love in us.
We recognize the works of the flesh in our lives and feel doomed to repeat them over and over. But we don’t have to: the Holy Spirit brings us antidotes that we can use to break free of them. May you face evil inclinations and persistent sinful patterns by expecting the Holy Spirit to give you the grace to overcome them, and may you replace them with the fruit of the Spirit. The Holy Spirit will help you to see clearly the works of the flesh in your life and will give you the grace to replace your evil behaviors with the fruit of the Spirit.
