"Holy" warrior, Khaled Shawish, arrested by IDF engaging in ultimate act of infidelity at "holy" grave of Arafat.

An elite IDF unit arrested a senior commander of the Al Aksa Martyrs Brigade, Khaled Shawish, in Ramallah on Monday, the Jerusalem Post reported. Officials said that Shawish was behind dozens of attacks, including suicide bombings in Jerusalem as well as shooting attacks on roads in the Ramallah area. He was believed responsible for eight murders, and dozens of injuries.

Two of those killed Rabbi Binyamin Ze'ev Kahane, son of Rabbi Meir Kahane, and his wife Talia, both U.S. citizens in December 2000. Five of their children were seriously wounded.

Shawish, deputy to Ramallah-area commander of Arafat's Force 17, Mahmoud Damra, also organized the murder on October 30, 2000 of U.S. citizen Esh-Kodesh Gilmore. According to a report in Haaretz, Shawish was personally involved in the shooting of the Kahane family. For seven years Shawish, 36, evaded arrest by Israeli security forces, making him one of the most wanted figures in the West Bank. But on Monday afternoon a joint IDF, Police Counter-Terrorism and Shin Bet operation led a Special Forces team to arrest him in his car in Ramallah. He was armed but reportedly indisposed.

World Net Daily reports that "According to Israeli security officials and Al Aqsa Martyrs Brigades sources in Ramallah, Shawish was arrested after the Israeli police stormed his jeep, which was parked in a lot outside the Muqata, about 200 feet from Arafat's grave.

The sources said at the time of his arrest, Shawish was having intercourse in the back seat of his jeep with a Palestinian woman," who was not his wife. The WND report added that "The Brigades, founded by Arafat, largely considers the late PLO leader's resting place to be a sacred site. " http://www.wnd.com/news/article.asp?ARTICLE_ID=55901

According to Israeli and Palestinian security sources, Shawish, as a member of Force 17, received US training in 1997 at an American managed military base in the West Bank city of Jericho. The base continues to train Force 17 members. Multiple other Brigades members who also double as Force 17 officers previously received US training.

The US in recent months reportedly transferred large quantities of weapons to Fatah, purportedly to back Abbas' military organizations in recent deadly clashes against Hamas.
The last confirmed US weapons transfer to the Palestinians took place last May and consisted of 3,000 assault rifles, but WND reported multiple other transfers later were delivered to Fatah, including a cache of 7,000 rifles last January and about 8,000 assault rifles in February.

"The Islamist" Confesses Movement's Global Aspirations

Validating Tashbih Sayyed's warnings about Islamism in the West, once radical-Muslim Mr. Ed Husain confirms the plutocratic threat that fundamentalist Islam poses. In this interview in Britain's "Sunday Times" he affirms civilization's challenge.

"My time in Saudi Arabia bolstered my conviction that an austere form of Islam (Wahhabism) married to a politicised Islam (Islamism) is wreaking havoc in the world. This anger-ridden ideology, an ideology I once advocated, is not only a threat to Islam and Muslims, but to the entire civilised world!

I vowed, in my own limited way, to fight those who had hijacked my faith, defamed my prophet and killed thousands of my own people: the human race.

I was encouraged when Tony Blair announced on August 5, 2005, plans to proscribe an array of Islamist organisations that operated in Britain, foremost among them Hizb ut-Tahrir. At the time I was impressed by Blair’s resolve. The Hizb should have been outlawed a decade ago and so spared many of us so much misery. Sadly the legislation was shelved last year amid fears that a ban would only add to the group’s attraction, so it remains both legal and active today. But it is not too late."



Sky News also featured an exploration of the issues he presents in new book, "The Islamist." Read entire transcript.

Moderate Muslim Leader, Dr. Tashbih Sayyed, Remembered

Dr. Tashbih Sayyed, publisher, broadcaster, and author, died of natural causes in Los Angeles. Muslim, Jewish and Christian mourners joined together to celebrate his life at a funeral service over the Memorial Day holiday.

Pictured here receiving a "Voice of Courage" award with co-recipient, Salman Rushdie, Dr. Sayyed was an outspoken voice for integrity and justice. As a head of Pakistani TV News, politics make it uncomfortable for his family to remain and they emigrated to the U.S. in the early 1980's. He founded The Council for Democracy and Tolerance, and was an adjunct fellow of the Hudson Institute.

Dr. Sayyed was respected for promoting honesty, freedom, and justice. Dr. Sayyed published the weekly newspaper "Pakistan Today" and "Muslim World Today" which bravely spoke-out against Zionophobia in Muslim culture and society.

He was awarded a "Voices of Courage" Award from the AJCongress in September, 2006. Videos of his remarks can be found on our site.



The film documentaries, "Relentless: The Struggle for Peace in Israel" (2003) and "Obsession: Radical Islam's War Against the West" (2005) feature Dr. Sayyed.

As a regular columnist for newspapers in the US, Pakistan, Germany and India, Tashbih Sayyed wrote courageously on the Islamist threat to the world.

Dr. Sayyed's books include: History Of The World, Left Of The Center, Pakistan - An Unfinished Agenda, Mohammad - A secularist's View, Foreign Policy Of Pakistan, and Shadow Warriors - Afghanistan, Pakistan, Taliban. He inspired Muslim, Jewish, Christian and secularists to unite against Islamist tyranny. Dr. Sayyed leaves a wife and three children.

In his recent column, linked here, Dr. Sayyed points-out the common dynamic of Islamism vs Israel and Islamism vs Democracy:

"The rejection of Israel as a Jewish state by Israel's Arab minority has underlined the level of threat to Israel’s security which has never been so pronounced. It seems as if all the dark forces determined to undermine and overwhelm democracy and pluralism have joined hands;

* Hezbollah has convinced the world that Israel is not invincible;

* Saudi Arabia, Egypt, Jordan and other Muslim states have arguably proved their effectiveness in convincing Washington that without validating Palestinian terrorism, it cannot win its war on Islamist fascism;

* Iran is on its way to gain the second Islamist nuclear bomb; and the

* international assaults on Israel’s character are gaining in momentum.

The Islamists’ demand to redefine the foundations of Israel is part of the same campaign that has been working not so discreetly in the US to replace the Jeffersonian civic religion by Islamist fascists.

It is in the US interest to watch how Israeli Arabs’ move to dismantle the Jewish state is shaping up. Just like the manner in which Islamist organizations in the US are taking advantage of our openness to destroy our Judeo-Christian foundations, Israeli Arabs are also taking advantage of a democratic constitution to subvert an open and pluralistic way of life.

It is an historical fact that fighting an internal enemy is much more difficult than defending against an external threat. Israel and the US both have fought off external enemies with success but now both are facing an enemy that has entrenched itself deep within their democracies. This onslaught on our freedoms from within has to be dealt with forthwith before it gets out of hand."
