On MEMRI.org about the Muslim Nation. Followers of Islam all belong to the same Nation and must give support to other members of Islam. So if Muslims live amongst other non-Muslim communities fellow Muslims abroad are ordered by their religion to come to their support if there rights are perceived to be damaged. This makes Muslims a doubtful asset to the host community. This is illustrated by the Danish cartoon case:
Al-Naqqash: "I say, before you even ask, that the Arab countries... Any cleric with knowledge of Islam must guide the Jihad of Islam in the right direction. He must say: We declare Jihad against the U.S., England, and their allies occupying Islamic lands, and in this proper method. When the nation's clerics are silent, sitting on their backsides, and talking only about how Islam is a religion of love, they give the youth of the nation the liberty to act freely and respond in their own methods.
[...]
"Is the U.S. the enemy of Arabs, of Muslims, and of humanity? Yes or no? Are we are at war with the U.S. – yes or no? Blood is being spilled. Lands are occupied. An Israeli enemy is occupying our lands, taking our holy places, and the fundamental goal of US policy in the Middle East is to maintain Israel's superiority."
Host: "If there is a real clash between Muslim communities in Europe, the US, and other countries, on the one hand, and the societies, on the other..."
Al-Naqqash: "What is the duty of every Muslim in the world? Whether in New York, Cairo, Beirut, or anywhere else? Did God draw these geographic borders for us, or did he tell us we are one nation?"
Host: "One nation."
It is true some of the grievances of Muslims against Western nations are not without foundation. But that does not make it so that we must increase the number of future enemies living amongst us. One of the greatest callings of statemanship is to forestall preventable evil. The policy of letting in large amounts of members of other ethnic groups and cultures are causing the citizenship of our societies to be diluted by people with hostile intention. People who will take away our rights and ursurp our polities. They are already for a long time encroaching the right to safety and prosperity of the blue collar workers in the urban areas. They are now starting to have impact on the middle classes. Expect opposition to Multiculturalism and Mass immigration to harden and intensify.
