What the Fatah?!

I'm NOT Tarek Fatah. Just sharing some of his "thoughts" and "wisdom".

[wtfatah]

“Any nation state that declares itself to have a hierarchy of citizenships is by its very nature a state that does not respect human rights…” - Tarek Fatah

@TarekFatah. World Summit on Counter-Terrorism - Round Table: Radicalization and Terrorism - hosted at the IDC International Radio studios (IDC Herzliya).

Muslim Brotherhood MO unwittingly revealed?

According to @TarekFatah, the MO of the Muslim Brotherhood in their ideological war is to have "Muslims that are anti-Islamists take the lead.”

It is funny that this Pakistani-born Sunni Muslim former host of "The Muslim Chronicle" TV show would become such an outspoken anti-Islamist media darling. Is he part of a Muslim Brotherhood sleeper cell, or just a pawn in their strategy to dominate Western society? Ever watch the "Manchurian Candidate"? 

He did spend a decade in Saudi Arabia, a puzzling place to take to take your wife and daughters.... unless your subscribe to an Islamist ideology.

He has also praised Tariq Ramadan, the grandson of the founder of the Muslim Brotherhood in Egypt.

He has accused Canadian security agencies of profiling Pakistanis and Muslims while defending individuals alleged to be a threat to national security.

He has criticized Israel.

His group, the Muslim Canadian Congress, has been linked to an organization that the FBI classified as a terrorist group.

And then there was this strange outburst... which may be his true colours coming out.

How can we trust Mr. Fatah? 

You are aware of the doctrine of Taqiyya, right?

[wtfatah]

Many Pakistanis with no links whatsoever to any other part of the world, spin their origins away from what they fear is a 'B' grade ethnicity. ... - Tarek Fatah

In light of the above, what conclusions can we draw from @TarekFatah's characterization of himself as "An Indian born in Pakistan".

It would also explain why he tells people to burn their Pakistani passports.

[wtfatah]

"My parents left Pakistan and chose..." Saudi Arabia?

My parents left behind Pakistan and chose Canada for the same reasons many other Muslim immigrants came here ... : for democracy, freedom, stability and modernity.

@NatashaFatah - Didn't your family actually leave behind Pakistan and choose Saudi Arabia? Was that for the democracy, freedom, stability or modernity of the kingdom? 

I suspect it was for tax-free money. The decadence of working for Saudi billionaires probably makes it easy turn a blind eye to the gender / racial inequity and Islamist indoctrination, eh?

I guess the inconvenient fact of your decade-long stop-over in Saudi Arabia would have to be omitted for the sake of your article. After all, truth must take a back seat to "good" journalism.

Did your father receive Islamist training and support while in Saudi Arabia? Or are you the one in the family to have embraced a politicized Islam, like the others described in your article?

Is Tarek Fatah a liar?

On Thursday, April 11th, the Zakir Husain Institute of Islamic Studies, Jamia Millia Islamia invited Mr. Tarek Fatah, a Pakistani-Canadian writer, to speak on the topic “Whither Muslims in Contemporary World.” However, on the day of the event, Jamia sent out a notice informing all that the event had been cancelled for “unavoidable reasons” giving the impression that it was Fatah who had cancelled it.

What at the time seemed like an innocuous cancellation of a speaking event, later turned into bit of a controversy.

Just like they did in the case of Shashi Tharoor’s cancelled visit to Jamia on February 25, 2013, Jamia tried to hide the reason behind Tarek Fatah’s cancellation and failed at it miserably. Just like they did with Shashi  Tharoor, they underestimated the intensity and the reach of Tarek Fatah’s voice. Just like Tharoor, Fatah told the world about his cancelled visit to Jamia.

What Jamia apparently did not know, or did not take into account, is that, just like Tharoor, Fatah is an avid tweeter with a significant fan following online; not to mention the fact he’s a columnist for a newspaper and thus would have access to the media.

Fatah soon told the world on twitter that it was Jamia who had cancelled his visit fearing a backlash from “angry Islamist students,” as he put it.

Similarly, when Jamia Journal asked Fatah about it he said: “What I know is that jihadis or Islamists on campus threatened to disrupt the event and heckle me for my opposition to Sharia Law in Canada and Muslim Personal Law in India.”

...

So that being said, how do we reconcile with Mr. Fatah’s claim that Jamia cancelled his visit fearing a group of its students. We could have believed if the people they feared were outsiders, and not Jamia students. That is a plausible scenario. But we cannot, in all sincerity, believe the university administration cancelled an event because it feared a bunch of students. Jamia could end all of this speculation if it were only to release a statement setting the record straight. But for whatever reason, Jamia currently wishes to stay silent on the issue. So until they break their silence, we are left with only one option, and that is to come up with our own explanation.

And we believe there is only one logical explanation to this conundrum, and that is: Tarek Fatah is a liar.

Addendum April 17, 2013:

Jamia broke its silence on the issue in an interview on NDTV with Mr. Tarek Fatah on Tuesday, April 16, 2013. Jamia refuted Mr. Fatah’s allegation that they cancelled his vist due to any threat from the students. The reason stated by Prof. Akhtarul Wassey on NDTV was that students were busy in their examination and they did not think there would be many students to hear Mr. Fatah speak and therefore they cancelled it.

Saudi-born?

Tarek Fatah and @SunNewsNetwork seem obsessed with a "Saudi-born" aide of Justin Trudeau.

Last time I checked, people don't choose where they are born. But they do choose where they immigrate to and raise their children. Mr. Fatah chose to leave his native Pakistan to go live in .... wait for it.... Saudi Arabia! That's where he made tax-free money working in Public Relations for Saudi billionaires. That's also where his daughter spent the first ten years of her life!

If being born is Saudi Arabia is a reason for concern, then I would be even more worried by the Pakistan-born + Saudi-paid Fatahs.

Are Islamist-linked journalists and commentators infiltrating Canadian media outlets like #CBC and @SunNewsNetwork?

[wtfatah]

Dear Tarek Fatah,

Would you mind disclosing how much money you made over a decade of doing PR for Saudi billionaires?

[wtfatah]

This picture of Egyptian army supporters shows a sea of hijabs - supposedly a sign of Islamists. How can the supporters of Morsi and the supporters of the army-led coup both be Islamists?

[wtfatah]

dangerous ideology?

@TarekFatah identifies with an ideology that has been linked to anti-Semitism, anti-capitalism, oppression, cultural destruction, violence and the massacre of millions of people around the world. 

[wtfatah]

Racist?

@TarekFatah maintains close ties to person responsible for "one of the longest and most sustained on-air broadcasts of hate-speech... in Canada".

[wtfatah]

@kenneyjason expresses support for an organization that @TarekFatah condemns as Islamist. http://web.archive.org/web/20111228020713/http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/department/media/speeches/2008/2008-11-29.asp

[wtfatah]

@TarekFatah, why did you choose to take your wife @TapalNargis and daughter @NatashaFatah to live in Saudi Arabia?

Was it because you wanted to ensure that they didn't drive, work or vote?

Was it so they would be veiled in burqas? 

Did you enjoy living in a decadent society built on the backs of African and South Asian labourers and Filipino domestic servants?

Or were the tax-free petro-dollars too much to resist?

[wtfatah]

Pakistani-born, Saudi-paid

@TarekFatah is a Pakistani-born Sunni Muslim that spent almost a decade in Saudi Arabia, the heartland of islamist and jihadist ideology.
