What does the word/term Contemporary mean ?

No worries, we all made mistakes and hopefully corrected by others who would not to leave us in error. :statisfie

Yes, jihad plays a predominant role in islam but it is often a misunderstood concept. The Western media especially leads the masses the wrong way when it comes to understanding of this.

Peace :shade:
 
I have Emailed Steven Emerson before in my personal opinion I don't believe he hates all Muslims/Islam to be honest I don't care if he hates Islam or not but I he does Anti Terrorism work I don't agree with him on everything I have looked at his films I even own his book I also own Milestones and a book attacking the Israel Lobby in America is it wrong to want to learn and other points of views I am in no way Anti Islam I think hate crimes that target Muslims need to be stopped it makes me sad when Muslim Women get attacked ?
 
Well it would be better for him to hate his enemies openly than playing the trickster Zionist, they are the worst type. Remember tweaking Islam to conform to modern Zionist expectations is heresy. Also the Jews have sold out to these secularists adopting the laws and morality of the Anti Christ. In the prophesy the ten crowns or powers of the Anti Christ will throw down and kill the "***** of Babylon" which has been riding upon the back of the Beast. Figure that out, it is obvious.
 
Karl being that I must clarify I myself am a Revert/Convert to Islam and my Family is Non Muslim fact is they tell me that Emerson is a good guy fact is when I first converted to Islam I thought Terrorism was just but I believe if Emerson wants to stop Terrorism why should I hate him for that it is a noble thing ? If I criticized the Ku Klux Klan would you call me Anti White if I criticized Mafia am I anti Italian if I criticized Jewish Zionists am I Anti Jewish ? Anyway look I guess we will disagree than disagree to disagree ? I just don't believe it is Islamophobia to criticize Terrorist Actions commited by people claiming to be Muslims also you know very well Islam will never be Secular fact is all Non Muslims I meet say Islam should be Secular because they don't want to live under Sharia why should we care what others think let them have their opinions we know Islamic rule is better ? Emerson has got death threats from terrorist groups do you approve of that why is it wrong to feel sorry for him ? You think I agree with everything Emerson says when I repeat I did not in fact I believe Western Foreign Policy is one of the main causes of Terrorism also there are Muslims that Emerson calls Radical that admire I admire/respect Sayyid Qutb also it is not a black and white issue to me why can't I agree with good points a person makes and disagree with their bad points I do criticize Emerson for things he says. Also not every Muslim that supports Emerson wants to make Islam secular also I have books and films by Emerson one more thing I first learned about Emerson as a Non Muslim at age 14 after 9/11 I don't believe anyone of any religion can really separate religion from politics as a whole since both deal with morality. Also if I hate Emerson I feel like Im defending Terrorism end of story that's how I see it you can attack me if you want I have friebnds in my personal life that disagree with me on this we get along can't Muslims disagree on certain things or have their own opinions ? I can even agree with things Anjem Choudary says you know who Anjem Choudary is right ? I respect/admire Anjem Choudary a lot more than I respect a Muslim that pretends to not support Terrorism but really does in his or her mind I can support Anjem Choudary on certain things here is a good video by Anjem Choudary that I like. I believe the UK is wrong to ban Anjem Choudary 's groups and websites I believe Anjem Choudary should have freedom of speech as the UK claims to believe in Emerson has Freedom to Speech in USA his anti terrorism work well so should Anjem Choudary . Emerson got into these pro terrorism rallies by pretending to be a Muslim may Allah guide him than if Allah wills. I do wish Emerson would of pointed out in his film Brother Tameem al-Adnani rejected Terrorism. Film below the Muslims debating Emerson say Emerson's film made some valid points. Abdurahmad Alamoudi met Emerson in his office at cnn years ago I have this on dvd the 3 Muslims and Emerson seemed to joke around laugh were soft spoken and respectful why can't I be even when Emerson interviewed Muslims he thought supported Terrorism they both had good manners no raising their voices in anger I admire that. Karl for the record I liked your post I respect your opinion right to hold it.

According to Emerson, the impetus for the film came in 1992, when he happened to come across a conference of Arab youths in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma. After gaining entrance by pretending to be Muslim, Emerson said that he found tables of pro-terrorism literature from groups such as Hamas and heard speeches calling for death to Americans.[SUP][1][/SUP]

Interestingly, while in Pakistan and Afghanistan for several months in 1993, shooting the documentary, Emerson befriended Azzam's son Hodeyfa.

Here is some info from Wiki

Criticism[edit]

Gloria Cooper of the Columbia Journalism Review gave a "dart" to Emerson and co-author Brian Duffy for their "want of professional manners", saying a number of passages in their The Fall of Pan Am 103 bore "a striking resemblance, in both substance and style" to reports in the Syracuse Post-Standard.[48]

Adrienne Edgar, writing in The New York Times Book Review described Emerson and Cristina del Sesto's 1991 book Terrorist, as "marred by factual errors (such as mistranslations of Arabic names) and marked by "a pervasive anti-Arab and anti-Palestinian bias."[49] Emerson and del Sesto responded: "We defy anyone to point to any passages that suggest such bias.... these characterizations of the book are wild figments of Ms. Edgar's political imagination."[50]

In a 1995 editorial in The Nation, Robert I. Friedman accused Emerson of "creating mass hysteria against American Arabs."[51]

A 1999 article in the Egyptian newspaper Al-Ahram Weekly criticized the detention of two Saudi airplane passengers who mistakenly tried to open the cockpit door of the plane they were on, thinking it was the bathroom. The newspaper claimed Emerson was the cause of the "Islamophobia" that led to the authorities' overreaction, as he had "turned denigrating Islam into a full-time job."[52]

Emerson was also criticized in a 2002 review of American Jihad in Salon by Eric Boehlert. Boehlert called Emerson a "heavy-handed scaremonger who fails to grasp – or deliberately blurs – the most rudimentary distinctions between different radical groups." Boehlert also criticizes Emerson for saying that Ghazi Ibrahim abu Mezer, a Palestinian immigrant who planned to blow up a Brooklyn, N.Y., subway station,[53][54] was a member of Hamas when James Kallstrom, head of the New York FBI office, said that he wasn't.[55]

Boehlert also criticized Emerson for suggesting that Katherine Smith, a 49-year-old Tennessee motor vehicles inspector who died when her car exploded was the victim of assassination even though authorities denied this. Boehlert quotes a former director of counterterrorism for the CIA Vincent Cannistraro who said of Emerson's thesis:


"He's trying to say people who move to this country and set up charities and think tanks and are associated with Hamas and Islamic Jihad and Hezbollah, that there's some kind of connection between them and Sept. 11, that there's a liaison or support network. He doesn't know what he's talking about."[55]

In their report "Fear, Inc. The Roots of the Islamophobia Network in America", the liberal advocacy group Center for American Progress accused Emerson of being an "misinformation expert" who, through his testimonies, exaggerates the presence of Sharia law in America and terrorism sympathizers in mosques.[56]


Most journalists are dirt bags that just want to make money, he is probably as trustworthy as a carpet bagger. But if you want to be a friend to him that's none of my business.
 
Yes I know about the Left Wing Criticism of Emerson but why trust the Left either the Left Wing hates all Religion including Islam they are Atheists. Charities can be used to fund terrorism or other crimes but that's hard to prove. I don't believe in guilt by association as Emerson offen does and others who talk about terrorism do guilt by association is wrong guilt by association is not right end of story.

Also to go outside that community and start a dialogue with the media. An hour after the bombing, I was at CNN talking to a reporter by the name of Steve Emerson and his producer. I told him, just half an hour ago you painted the Muslim community with a broad brush. I went there, made my case and talked to Emerson.

Muslims Are Minority Among Terrorists


While any violent extremist is dangerous, let's compare extremists.
* The F.B.I. reports that extremists from the Jewish Defense League and like-minded groups committed more than a dozen terrorist attacks in this country in the last decade.


* Kach and Kahane Chai, two of the Middle East's most ruthless and racist Jewish terrorist groups, have had offices in New York for years and annually send millions of dollars to Jewish militants in the occupied West Bank. While the assets of the groups were recently frozen by executive order, their leaders held a news conference Jan. 24 and bragged that they had been tipped off about the order and will step up activities in the United States.
* According to Chip Berlet of Political Research Associates, there are more than 10,000 members of Christian militias formed in more than 40 states in the last 18 months.

Are these Christian militias Zionist or anti Zionist? Most of the people of the USA are Germanic. These people are slow boilers but once they go off look out. The Zionists are controlling them but they are losing their grip. A third of the people don't vote because they know the system is a Zionist sham. Muslims are best not to cause trouble there but that wont stop MOSAD from staging false Muslim terrorist attacks.
 
As Salamu Alaykum Brother Karl if you don't mind I would like to ask you a question my question is do you believe that the September 11th 2001 were an Inside Job others would use the term Conspiracy to you think the CIA/FBI/MOSSAD had a hand in it is it possible ? What about the World Trade Center Attack in 1993 and the 2004 Madrid train Attacks or the 7/7 Attacks in London ? Even Steven Emerson says in one of his Film that the CIA funded the Mujahideen in Afghanistan to fight the Soviet Union since 1979 to late 1980's do you think Bin Laden was ever CIA Agent ? Also have you heard that Israel at one time funded Hamas thank you for your time I am curious if you have an opinion/views on this subject I found this link from Alex Jones ?

[h=3]CIA HELPED TRAIN BIN LADEN, RAMZI YOUSEF AND OTHER ISLAMIC TERRORISTS WHO BOMBED WORLD TRADE CENTER[/h]





We Created Terrorists to Fight the Soviets in Afghanistan
Washington’s Blog
March 1, 2014
Top American officials admit that the U.S. armed and supported Bin Laden and the other Mujahadin – which later morphed into Al Qaeda – in the 1970s, in order to fight the Soviets.


We know of their deep belief in God – that they’re confident that their struggle will succeed. That land over – there is yours – and you’ll go back to it some day, because your fight will prevail, and you’ll have your homes, your mosques, back again, because your cause is right, and God is on your side.

I remember a Hollywood movie about the Twin Towers and some Muslims that tried to bring it down with a van bomb parked down near the foundations. They failed and near the end of the movie they decided to fly an airliner into it. This movie came out years before it happened. It is possible it was an inside job or just to let it happen. Pearl harbour was a set up to get into war. The plutocrats and their servants the government need the backing of the masses. So all they have to do is sacrifice some of the people (secretly of course) to fire up the masses to support war. Baksheesh for a few and misery for everyone else, what a diabolical world. But I suppose you can only really believe in conspiracy theories if you have the facts and know the truth, that's the hard part. But my gut instinct is that there is a lot of evil stuff going on and we are not being told the truth. These stiff shirts that can neither confirm or deny probably toddle off to the Pentagon to attend a Black Mass.
 
Karl Emerson made a name for himself by investigating and exposing the real threats Muslim terrorists pose to this country. In 1998, he went before Congress to warn of the imminent dangers posed to this country by Osama bin Laden, the Taliban, and their followers and sympathizers. But at some point, he became consumed by anti-Muslim zealotry. Today he is just another highly-paid anti-Muslim crusader. His group, the Investigative Project on Terrorism, is completely devoted to attacking Muslims.
The bottom line is that it is impossible to know where the money Emerson collects goes. Is he paying himself a million dollar salary? Is he investing it? Buying art? Funding illegal settlements in the West Bank? Who knows! (These are precisely the kinds of accusations that Emerson and his ilk routinely employ against others. By his own twisted logic, Emerson could very well be funding terror with this money.)
