StopSpamming: iERA Reloaded and their Dawah Outlets

It looks as though iERA, the Islamic European Research Academy, has been severely hit by the constant confrontation with reality and their head-on clashes with truth.

It seems to me that iERA has suffered severely as more Muslims are turning to reason and rational thinking, limiting their propensity to spending money on iERA’s simplistic and superficial argumentation.

iERA must have taken a hard look at its operations and has had to decide on whether to declare bankruptcy or soldier on. Well, it seems they’ve decided to give it one last shot and have apparently identified a need in the market and subsequently adapted their business model.

What they are doing is creating franchises. They take their core sales messages from Christian apologists, based on the old and tired William Lane Craig rhetoric, which seems to appeal to primitive, uneducated and gullible ignorants. This is further dumbed down, adapted to Muslim vocabulary, and mixed with the nonsensical contents of rich, well-funded Islamic indoctrination factories like Zakir Naik with his Peace TV. Because Naik himself is banned in the UK for his extremist views like “every Muslim should be a terrorist”, which I have on video here, they are taking only his claims - based on Bucailleism. After the script is done, they then send their guys out on a “train-the-trainer” program.

They distribute these so-called dawah training packages to smaller dawah organisations, helping them to grow and have them fishing for more and more victims. These fishermen are turned into sales people, essentially working like a Scientology pyramid scheme. So giving dawah is nothing else but baiting victims.

So we have groups like the “London Dawah Movement” who are given training by iERA and are provided with this sales pitch. Now, you have hundreds of ignorants trawling the streets, all equipped with the same idiotic iERA “sales kit”. You suddenly see the same rhetoric in Hyde Park, Glasgow and Birmingham, all with the same, stupid question and answer game.

iERA is doing the marketing, distributing a video which shows how beneficial your actions are and how it is your brotherly and Islamic duty to pay back to allah and Muhammad. How? By selling the product Islam. Suddenly, you see this video in several places and then several more videos, all telling Muslims to – what they call – give dawah or, more commonly known as “sell ignorance and stupidity”, proselytising.

School dropout and iERA chairman Anthony Waclaw Galvin-Green who goes by the stage name Abdur Raheem, a controversial preacher, ex-Christian, ex-Buddhist, has 2 wives and loves rubbing shoulders with violent and aggressive dawah, gets onto the sales motivation wagon, wearing his 7^th century costume, complete with long beard and long dress. He makes appearances, giving pep-talks, praising the benefits of a life on your knees and shrouded in ignorance.

Just like a bad sales manager he tries to motivate his troops by using emotional pleas and making them feel closer to and more like a Muhammad of the 7^th century. He first talks about prophets and messengers and then depicts Muhammad as the best person to have ever lived on this planet and then describes the hardships and sacrifices he went through – with only one goal, to bring the message to people. Muhammad, according to Green, was the most wonderful person, trustworthy, who never lied, never cheated and who described his hardest day as being when he was rejected by the people of Taif. Poor Muhammad.

Green leaves out the stories where Muhammad tortures people, steals and lies, has people killed, releases limits on others which don’t apply to himself. He has sex with his slave and a child, marries his own daughter-in-law and has people stoned. In other words, known issues are suppressed.

Then Green makes sure his guys know the alternative, the hell-fire, just as an untalented and incompetent sales manager would.

But Green seems to be proud of - even admits to - getting on the nerves of everyone around him, being the dick who starts talking about religion on the bus, the train or the plane, where it is difficult to avoid or scream at him. What I found interesting is that even his fellow Muslims warn others about Green, saying “May Allaah save us from the ignorant ones who love to speak without knowledge.”

But he does not care and sends his guys out and the people in the UK will soon see more dawah clubs come out of the woodwork all asking people whether their mother could give birth to herself. Pathetic.

I just don’t think that people in the UK are that stupid. I don’t think they will immediately start transferring money to their dawah team, which will flow back to iERA eventually.

In all fairness, the idea sounds good superficially, but as any experienced company or management consultant will know, it’s not the sales, it’s the customer retention which counts at the end of the day. And here, the track record is abysmal. Converts only last a few days or weeks, until the brain kicks in and the slick sales pitch and all the talking them to death wears off.

Then reality returns and as soon as they start checking something they were told on the street by the dawah preachers, the entire construct of lies comes crashing down. Not only will they be angry with the guy dishing out the nonsense, but also disappointed by the ideology as a whole, which means the brand will be shunned for life. Just like I will never in my life buy anything by Sony again due to the clash of marketing propaganda and their poor handling of several product failures in reality. And to think that I was one of their big supporters when they came on the scene.

So we have Islam, a dying ideology, trying to sound all modern and rational and failing across the board. If they don’t reform, we’ll eventually have a couple of backward fundamentalists sitting in caves somewhere, while the rest of the world develops and progresses, in peace.

And this is the easiest and most efficient counter to all the stupid claims worked out by iERA. Progress. Knowledge.

While the only answer we have today to the question: “how did the Universe start off?” is “I don’t know”, how long before we do know? And what will these guys then base their belief on, if this is their strongest argument?

And why, if we don’t know something, should the only alternative be one of the gods anyway? So even if we will never know what the status of the Universe was, why should anyone simply believe it was a god with some fabricated attributes?

Watching these mindless moppets, their excursion into the Koran which says in 52:35-36 “Or were they created out of nothing? Or are they the creators? Or did they create the heavens and earth?” simply results in a rehash of the Cosmological argument. They will cite Alexander Vilenkin, without understanding a single word he said or wrote. Too funny and so cute, hearing them use intelligent words without understanding anything they mean. All it represents is substituting the word mystery with the word allah. Yet an apologist will call this an “inference”, which would mean a logical conclusion based on valid premisses, while all it is, is just a heap of claims based on arguments from ignorance.

Brain challenged Muslims will ask questions like “can something come from nothing” without defining either term and ignoring that when talking quantum physics not everything is intuitive and straightforward. We simply don’t know yet. They frequently mix up the possibility with the cause and are easily caught up in self-contradictory statements. They are taught to call a sceptic closer and theatrically place an empty hand onto the hand of the sceptic, exclaiming: “what have I just given you? Nothing!” ignoring that they have just transferred not only a couple of billion molecules of our atmosphere but also a few droplets, filled with germs and/or bacteria or viruses. But they think they have just made a profound demonstration.

“Can my mother give birth to herself” is also a popular question, supposed to stun the participants in their little game.

The answer is yes, sure, why not?

There are different alternatives on different levels, such as the one described by archangel Gabriel: Sanat Kumara Channelling, when the New Dimensional frequencies of Gaia will peak.

You can’t make this up. But the mother gives birth to herself.

Then you have less spiritual cloning, where the mother can have her own clone in her womb and thus give birth to herself. Muslims are generally not so clued up when it comes to concepts, logics or science, especially medical and biological science.

A mother can relive the moments she was born, essentially giving birth to herself spiritually.

If a mother travels back in time and has sex with her younger father, she is giving birth to herself.

If that is not 100% accurate you can always take your father’s sperm and your mother’s ovum and have an artificial insemination, almost giving birth to yourself.

ELCA's first female Presiding Bishop, Elizabeth Eaton, believes that Jesus has helped his mother give birth to herself into eternity.

The Quan Yin say their mother Earth must be reborn [give birth to herself in the higher dimensions], and she invites you to participate in this "rebirthing" process

Diana Arosio physically demonstrates in her artwork how the woman finally decides to give birth to herself.

There are more examples, but I will stop here. So we have plenty of alternatives and just because Muslims are unable to conceive of these possibilities does not make them non-existent.

Muslims are taught to obey and believe without evidence. They are not trained or even encouraged to question or apply critical thinking.

So hearing their god-attributes like uncaused, uncreated, eternal, omnipotent, personal, self-existent is actually a logical fallacy called “Begging the Question” which does not occur to Muslims, because they will call this rational, not able to comprehend intellectually that this assumes that the origin of these attributes, a god, has already been proven and demonstrated. But it has not. They will continue claiming that the Koran is a profound book and contains profound statements and logical arguments.

The introduction of questions such as “what is your purpose in life” is as asinine and inane as it is naive. Again, no definitions are deemed necessary, yet a simple question such as: “what is life?” will cause some concern for our Muslim intellectuals. We humans have generally defined life as a being capable of reproduction, energy conversion and evolution. The activities of life-forms will tend to avoid pain and strive for pleasure or well-being. I could well write an entire book on this last sentence and indeed, people have, so we have quite a good understanding of it. But as simple as I have tried to convey the contents of these principles, Muslims still see the need to squeeze their super-natural being in here somewhere. They don’t know where, so they just go and declare the entire story impossible and pre-suppose their god, without whom none of this would make sense. Asking what exactly does not make sense will get you a whole lot of embarrassed silence.

I actually sometimes feel sorry for these poor sods. They try so hard and all they get is derision and ridicule. But how can you take this seriously? It’s like seeing a cat carefully moving and falling down. You have to laugh. The cat will quickly lick its paw, pretending nothing happened, but you can see the embarrassment. Do Muslims feel embarrassed?

The guy on the ladder thinks he is making an impression on the people listening to him. But he is incredibly naïve and completely untrained in rational or critical thinking. He just rattles off what he was told. He does not realise his little games and rehearsed rhetoric is illogical and completely inconsequential.

It’s like listening to 100s of Hamzas now spreading all over the country, but even less trained. It’s uncanny. They go on to this strange sequence, where a creator is created by a creator who is created by, you guessed it, a creator. This serves 2 purposes, 1. The rejection of an infinite regress which in the real world is a known quantity and result and 2. The assumption that we would never get a Universe.

What this dimwit doesn’t seem to comprehend is that 1. Is a viable option and that 2. Is only true if the Universe indeed was created and by his favoured creator on top of that, making his point a moot point as a Universe without a creator would cancel his creator out automatically.

You can’t make it up.

It’s unbelievable.

These are human beings. Like me.

Living in the 21^st century. Like me.

With brains. Like me.

But completely incapable of rational and logical thinking. And I am nowhere near a deep thinker or philosopher.

So, what is their target audience? Who are the humans who are actually impressed with this? Who are the ones who contribute this frenetic and hysterical applause when a primitive human like Hamza asks these primitive and nonsensical questions?

Who are the new customers iERA is trying to attract via their dawah kits in the dawah unit sales channels? Is it cannon-fodder they can recruit and send to Syria to die a fool’s death? Or to Sochi to terrorise the people competing in the way of sportsmanship?

Is it simply gullible cash machines?

Are they scraping the barrel to get fundamentalists who have no spine and no standing in society and crave attention and false recognition from a gang? Well, maybe we need to remember that more than half of the Muslims are illiterate, so being able to read is already a distinct advantage.

Are they looking for reliable, long-term supporters?

Whatever they are doing, I doubt the public in the UK is that easily impressed. Sure, you can jump a teenager and squeeze a shahada, the admission ticket into Islam out of them, but will they be long-term supporters? We know today that most converts leave as quickly as they join. In fact, Islam is shrinking and Muslims are the last to accept this. They are still passing out the fairy tale of the “fastest growing religion”. Maybe on Mars, but then, many religions and spiritual cults make that claim to seem more important than they are. As people are more educated, they start seeing through these emotional comforters and anecdotes.

iERA is trying to keep their followers dumbed down and in the doctrines of fundamentalist Islam. This means a very restrictive life within narrow boundaries. There’s nothing here of a reformed and more modern Islam. iERA still reject the reality of evolution and the findings of science in general, if they are not in alignment with the Koran, the book which is wrong on almost everything.

Modern Muslims such as Seyyed Hossein Nasr of George Washington University, a Sufi, have long left this behind. They see humans as animals and the link between worldly Earth and spiritual heaven, allowing for evolution and Islam simultaneously.

That would be the future of Islam – but iERA will not take part in it, I fear.

Dr Naik:

That means if any man or woman who is not married, if they have unlawful sexual

intercoolers, the punishment is 100 lashes, flogging them with 100 lashes... So the

punishment for adultery, unlawful sexual intercourse done by married man is Islam, it is

stoning to death

Yusuf Chambers:

Well, Dr. Zakir, I feel that those 2 punishments were enough to frighten

the most of the individuals from Zina [adultery]. May Allah protect us from that.

Dr. Naik:

That’s in Islamic country but the punishment is not there in a non-Muslim country.

So If it’s put throughout the world, InshaAllah, Zina would be removed from the face of the
