As a false Muslim in Yemen

[Q]

bazonline.ch As a false Muslim in Yemen - By Tobias Asmuth

The American author Theo Padnos has spent three years undercover in Yemeni Islamic schools. The book about his experiences with fanatical Islamists appear in spring in the U.S..

Future Islam teachers: students of Dar al-Mustafa school in Tarim (Yemen) are preparing again before evening prayers.

Mr. Padnos, you have spent three years in madrasas. Are you for camouflage converted to Islam?

I was officially a Muslim in the fall of 2005. I have stated before a witness: "There is no god but God and Mohammed is his prophet." Actually, a large bathroom is required, mine was small and short. For some Muslims, there are a number of other ceremonies. But in Yemen is quite sober about as fast as possible to get from A to B.

Were there suspicious to you as Americans?

In the Koran schools I have just distrusts many of the converts from the West - and indeed had to be right. The Yemenis, however, the sincerity is very important, have not I suspect.


What a day in a madrasa?

He begins with the first prayer at five clock, then it is usually back to bed. In some schools there were classes at eight clock, but this is very early for Muslim students. In schools, there were even more stringent courses from six clock, right after the prayer. Most students are only around ten clock on. If you like, you can visit there the whole day teaching. In between is prayed and ate almost all the classes then make an afternoon nap in the mosque. Afternoon is learned the Koran by heart. After evening prayer, the married students go to their wives, the unmarried students sit in front of the mosque and drink tea.


Have you felt comfortable in the schools?

I did not feel at home, but one develops a sense of belonging to a community. The people you trust. This was important for me: I wanted to understand the Koran, but also the people who believe in him, and find out what the fascinating and disturbing lies on Islam.


What is taught in schools?

Many Islamic schools teach the Ummah, so the idea of a global family of believers. The students will explore the Muslim presence, and discover the past. This is Islamic past as something always gives great things, while the present is felt to be humiliating for Islam. The main goal is to bring the students to ask themselves what they can do personally to the Golden Age of bring back three caliphs in the Middle Ages when Islam was strong.


In the West many people think religious schools are hotbeds of radical Islam.

I'm not even sure what radical Islam is off the terror. Radical Islam has aspects, such as his image of women, the idea of holy war, the attitude to violence. But he also has a mystical and almost sentimental side. A major problem is the world view that is taught in schools, namely, that Islam would deceived by the West. Before long, the students feel personally threatened and attacked, and they want to strike back and kill this many enemies, and most Jews.


Not every Muslim student is a terrorist.

But they almost all the feeling in a kind of war to be with the West, which justifies violence at any time. The Murder of two German nurses, for example, was approved some time ago in the classroom. It was between the teacher and the students agreed that the Nurses in Yemen were not Yemeni women to help at birth, but that they may acquire in the future any more children: The West always wants to control everything and now just the uterus of the Yemeni woman, so it is no longer there so many believers. At the end the teacher said: "The United Nations and the Christians do not want their children receive. Each of you must go out and have ten children.» In a room with sexually frustrated men - in the Koran schools of course are no women allowed - came the idea very well.


They were also in Daru-l-Hadith, an Islamic school in the city nordjemenitischen Dammaj. The school is, according to Western intelligence agencies, a training center for the jihad.

The school founded by the Saudi Sheikh Muqbil al-Wadi, who belonged to the intellectual environment of the 1979 attack on the Grand Mosque in Mecca. In the eighties he had his students sent to Afghanistan, but when I was there, the school was not a training camp for jihad. There is no bomb was taught. But certainly there is taught a very anti-Western Islam, Salafism. And most students are there megalomaniac and believe at some point to save Islam alone.


Why radical Islam continue forever?

Many Islamic countries have something of a crumbling castle. And nowhere in the moment to break the stones from the wall faster than in Yemen. Of course, seeing the inhabitants of the castle would like to have battlements and towers rise proud in the sky, and they hate the creeping decay. Many Yemenis have the feeling that those in power to sell everything in their country. The fields, the country's natural resources. For many Muslims, but that country is for the family of believers, not for Western companies, soldiers or tourists.


What do you think about the future of Yemen?

A incompetent government and the increasing influence of radical Islamic groups are very driven the country into chaos. And the chaos makes it interesting for Al-Qaeda terrorists.


Do you respect your classmates and teachers Yemeni not feel guilty - you have finally systematically deceived?

Many Muslims in Yemen were very hospitable and friendly towards me. I knew they are really appalled at the idea that believers could enter from the West, their holy places. Of course, I was often afraid of the consequences, but I have simply learned the Koran, I washed before the prayers - and more lies.


Would you be surprised if Muslims would say: "Theo, you have betrayed us, you have betrayed our Prophet, the punishment is death."?

I would not.

With all respect, I call that a feature as they should.

Frankly, I do not know what will take it if the West is there - in whatever form - brings. The leftists are always present as a form of colonialism / imperialism, and allowed the Muslims to make the West for the problems in the country responsible.

We should let countries like Yemen in peace. Should be but the neighboring countries or the OIC to worry about when he does cut and pirates and terrorist stronghold is.

On the part of the UN it would not need more than both the political shield for the pirates to fight sea.

That the terror could be fought there, I think to Afghanistan not to say I never really believed.

[Tempelritter]

Actually, the topic could be done quite quickly:

- Flächenbomarbdierung of opium and hemp plantations
- Konntensperrung / attachment and stop the money flow to these countries
- Totales trade embargo
- No man can be in and out (except-Taliban returns)

These countries are, de facto, not in a position of your residents and the residents not in a position to provide themselves.

Let them dry up the Taliban in their caves. After a few months had shot himself the other.

Land for land just seal off the lid on it and the topic is faster than fertiggegart in the pressure cooker. Although it may take longer, would the rest of the world peace and harmony, then master. And when we turn that oil? What better can happen to us did not, for I am sure the plans are long in the drawers, but as long as oil is there, we will fine the old technique and the supposed electric and hybrid innovation are sold ..

[Kahina]

In Afghanistan, despite the drug is grown opium prohibition in Islam, not hemp.
Hemp is the way, a very valuable commodity, right here, watch out in the forum, now I have to explain to you your own story of how cumbersome:

Hemp was 1945 grown in Australia across the board, then the Americans (wise to go there on nylon Dupontpatent), ensuring that legislative measures have been pushed back by the cultivation of hemp, as this is a competition would have been to (U.S.) plastic products and still represents for-another, I need hardly can not be explained

If oil is shut off: then we fall back on the coal hydrogenation "Fischer Tropsch" process, coal is enough there, and this procedure has been tested and developed further.

In the future, probably is the fuel cell to come to the train

This is intended as a short excursion into the wonderful world of our technology

[Tempelritter]

thank you for the information:

yes I found this very interesting:

History

The Fischer-Tropsch synthesis was developed in 1925 at the former Kaiser Wilhelm Institute for Coal Research in Mülheim on the Ruhr coal liquefaction. Historically, the synthesis was particularly during the Second World War for Germany is of enormous importance, since then the demand for liquid fuels could be met from domestic coal. It was also applied an alternative to the coal liquefaction after the Bergius-Pier process.

http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fischer-Tropsch-Synthese

[Kahina]

You're welcome.
This procedure was in East Germany developed new catalysts Maybe I'm even a brief presentation here, although probably low interest with Burkaschnitten I had more success or a survey to Miss "headscarf" who is the most beautiful Bedouin girl (MT sic !)
Interest in crude oil have only the international corporations that make their exorbitant profits with it. That is why various Islamfaschistische regime are kept alive, as you do not want to miss the good deals.

That does not understand parts of the left because of the three neo-Nazis at a bus stop again organize a major demonstration times,
nor the rights or the Conservatives let this capitalist system "fuck"
and wonder why there is no money in the account at the end of the month.
Then parts of the population against each other,
the SozialhelferbetrügerInnen, etc. to distract from this misery.

Capital knows no ideology or religion, the Bedouin of the stupidest kind of man are,
if you look at the facts about the Iraq war,
then the Saudis are probably a branch of the State of Israel, according to the logic beduinistischen who is to blame or the cause of the war. -A Christian crusade that was certainly not Saudi-US interests have been represented here

[abandländer]

-A Christian crusade that was certainly not Saudi-US interests have been represented here

This explains also why the Saudis, the Americans willing to Prince Sultan Air Base made available. Both in the first as in the second Gulf War.

Osama Bin Laden's offer to fight Saddam Hussein was rejected by the Saudi royal house, was left to a foreigner statdessen military on holy ground. The upset of course all the real true believers.

@ Haiduk: I am quite of your opinion. the western world should not interfere there. wants what does it matter if the Islamic world live like in medieval times. we are from capsules (as with Israel's wall).

say, and if the left: creating peace without weapons, civilian development aid instead of military intervention, then I agree that even. the left of me shall immediately after afghanistan, sudan in, or somewhere to go to Nigeria, where it burns in order to live out their gutmenschenmasochismus. but they should not expect that a German soldier even a single committee to add to their defense. I watch me watch TV in the result will be happy to, if CFR discussed with the taliban on women rights. : Biggrin:
