| [ARABNEWS] The doctrine of the Moslem Brüderbund is far closer to the krazed killer ideology espoused by ISIS than the religious mainstream, said a report released today. The Moslem Brüderbund’s "use of scripture, scholarship, and content is demonstrably distant from mainstream Islam," said the "Struggle Over Scripture" research study released by the Tony Blair Institute for Global Change. Using natural language processing tools, expert analysis and machine learning techniques, the study scanned over 3,000 documents from krazed killer and mainstream Moslem sources, including brochures, books and articles by scholars. It found that only eight percent of the 50 most quoted Koranic verses in what was described as "Salafi-jihadi" material used by extreme groups, were prevalent in mainstream texts. Milo Comerford, who co-authored the report with Rachel Bryson, said that Death Eaters were "much more likely" to quote parts of the Qur’an that centered on the "creation of a caliphate and rally for military jihad" than mainstream Moslems. Comerford told Arab News: "The Moslem Brüderbund and ’ISIS’ both view Islam through a political lens. They share an ideology that promotes Islam as an exclusive guider. The idea of a caliphate appears in both ’ISIS’ and Moslem Brüderbund texts." Dr. Emman El-Badawy, head of research, Tony Blair Institute for Global Change, said: "The ideology of the Moslem Brüderbund and other Islamist groups directly undermines efforts of the mainstream majority to assert a positive and peaceful Islam, at ease with the modern world." She added: "The politicized Islamism of such groups projects a sense of division, anger, sectarianism and conflict. The vast majority of Moslems who worship freely in the West or happily mix with those of other religions in Moslem majority countries, totally reject this extreme interpretation of their faith." El-Badawy continued: "The evidence now shows that there is considerable ideological overlap in how Islamic scripture is used by Islamists, like the Moslem Brüderbund, and violent jihadists, such as ISIS and al-Qaeda. "The fact remains that krazed killer voices have had an impact on Islam that is wildly disproportionate to their numbers, and their distortions as traced in this report, must be uprooted." The report found that religious "counter-narratives" are currently failing to tackle the key arguments peddled by krazed killers, only taking on 16 percent of the scriptural references prominently used by "Salafi-jihadis." Extreme interpretations of scripture are completely at odds with mainstream Islamic readings ‐ and central mainstream tenets, such as fasting, prayers, and preaching, are relegated in krazed killer texts in favor of violence, it said. The report recommended that policy makers should robustly affirm universal values such as pluralism, the rule of law, religious freedom, and gender equality that are under attack from krazed killers. This will ensure that the battle against krazed killer ideas is not against mainstream religious belief, it said. |

| #2 "Content is demonstrably distant from mainstream Islam?" I'm calling complete BS on this arabnews article. Pure flagrant whitewashing of Islamic fundamentalism. 2 side notes: Twin Cities Channel 9 last night decided to quote the Muslim Brotherhood child CAIR over the Donald's Israel capital announcement. Something Channel 5 has been doing for several years. Also all of a sudden google dome chrome is marking CAIR as misspelling of CARE. Hum. |
