Aga Khan's interview in Der Spiegel

We are writing about Shia and Sunni Muslims. But we nearly never write about other Muslims. But there are others.

Searching in Internet, I have found an interview with Aga Khan, the head of the Islaimi Muslims, in the German Der Spiegel. This man, who is more known in Spain because of the Hola! reports, was interviewed about Pope Benedict's words.

In the same page you have a brief summary of what it takes to be an Ismaili Muslim:

Prince Karim Aga Khan IV is considered to be the direct descendant of the Prophet Mohammad and, as the 49th imam, the spiritual leader of the Ismaili Muslims. A minority community within the Muslim faith, the Ismailis include some 20 million members scattered across 25 countries in Central Asia, Europe and Eastern Africa. The Aga Khan himself lives near Paris in Aiglemont Palace. Born near Geneva, the prince grew up in Kenya, Switzerland and London before being educated at Harvard. At the age of 20, he succeeded his grandfather as the Aga Khan, thus becoming a religious leader and the administrator of billions in assets. Fed by his family inheritance and a 10 percent tithing fee from Ismaili Muslims, the Aga Khan channels much of the money into the Aga Khan Development Network, one of the world's most important private development aid organizations. The Aga Khan has two sons from his first marriage --Rahim, 34, and Hussein, 32. He also has a son from his second marriage to the German princess Gabriele zu Leiningen --six-year-old Ali Mohammed. The Aga Khan must name one of his sons as his successor, but that choice will remain a secret until his death.

In Wikipedia we have a summary of what he does:

At his Aiglemont estate, at Gouvieux in the Picardie region of France, about 4 kilometres west of the Hippodrome de Chantilly in Chantilly, France, he operates the largest horse racing and breeding operation in the country. In 1977, he paid £1.3 million for the bloodstock owned by Anna Dupré and in 1978, £4.7 million for the bloodstock of late Marcel Boussac.

In March of 2005, the Āgā Khān purchased the famous Haras d'Ouilly in Pont-d'Ouilly, Calvados that had been owned by such famous horsemen as the Duc Decazes, François Dupré and Jean-Luc Lagardère. In 2006, he became the majoity shareholder of Arqana, a French horse auction house.

After some background, the interview itself. I am going to copy some parts of it:

[...] SPIEGEL: Does Islam have a problem with reason?

Aga Khan: Not at all. Indeed, I would say the contrary. Of the Abrahamic faiths, Islam is probably the one that places the greatest emphasis on knowledge. The purpose is to understand God's creation, and therefore it is a faith which is eminently logical. Islam is a faith of reason. [NOTE: He does not even consider the education Muslim countries are giving their children. I do not think that learning by heart the Koram, as they do in most madrassas, is the best way to increase one child's knowledge].

SPIEGEL: So, what are the root causes of terrorism?

Aga Khan: Unsolved political conflicts, frustration and, above all, ignorance. Nothing that was born out of a theological conflict. [NOTE: this is the same reasons that punk jihadis -as Pamela calls them- say when they are asked about their behaviour in Paris]

SPIEGEL: Which political conflicts do you mean?

Aga Khan: The ones in the Middle East and in Kashmir, for example. These conflicts have remained unresolved for decades. There is a lack of urgency in understanding that the situation there deteriorates, it's like a cancer. If you are not going to act on a cancer early enough, ultimately it's going to create terrible damage. It can become a breeding ground for terrorism.

Now to the issue of spreading faith by the sword: All faiths at some time in their history have used war to protect themselves or expand their influence, and there were situations when faiths have been used as justifications for military actions. But Islam does not call for that, it is a faith of peace. [Jihad is a peaceful concept: after all Infidels are dead, peace be upon Earth].

SPIEGEL: It's true that horrible crimes were committed in the name of Christianity, for example by the crusaders. That was long ago, that's the past. But jihadists commit their crimes now, in our times.

Aga Khan: It is not so far in the past that we have seen bloody fights in the Christian world. Look at Northern Ireland. If we Muslims interpreted what happened there as a correct expression of Protestantism and Catholicism or even as the essence of the Christian faith you would simply say we don't know what we are talking about. [NOTE: really, when Protestant and Catholic argue because of land or political reasons, they are reading the Bible. Mr Khan, just tell me what part of the Bible tells me to argue with a Protestant, because I do not really know it. Oh, no, you're so cultivated, just know that these quarrels have no basis in religion].

SPIEGEL: "The West (will stand) against the Rest" wrote Professor Samuel Huntington in his famous book "Clash of Civilizations." Is such a conflict, such a clash inevitable?

Aga Khan: I prefer to talk about a clash of ignorance. There is so much horrible, damaging, dangerous ignorance.

SPIEGEL: Which side is responsible?

Aga Khan: Both. But essentially the Western world. You would think that an educated person in the 21st century should know something about Islam; but you look at education in the Western world and you see that Islamic civilizations have been absent. What is taught about Islam? As far as I know -- nothing. What was known about Shiism before the Iranian revolution? What was known about the radical Sunni Wahhabism before the rise of the Taliban? We need a big educational effort to overcome this. Rather than shouting at each other, we should be learning to listen to each other. In the way we used to do it, by working together, with mutual give-and-take. Together we brought about some of the highest achievements of human civilization. There is a lot to build on. But I think you cannot build on ignorance. [NOTE: Any dictator in the Middle East is necessary for peace, but the West, you ignorant infidels, you are the culprits of all the bad things in the world. Because you can study Science, Music, Mathematics, Law, Telecommunications, Economy, etc, but if you do not study Islam, then you are an ignorant and your ignorance is the culprit of jihadis, dictatorships, Bin Laden, Ahmadinejihad, the hunger in the world, the car accidents, the bad nourihsment in the Paleolithic age and of course, of the disparition of the dinasours...]

SPIEGEL: Nonethless, it is striking that a particularly large number of Muslim-dominated states figure among the most backward and undemocratic states in the world. Is Islam in need of an era of enlightment? Is the faith even incompatible with democracy as others claim?

Aga Khan: As I said before, one has to be fair. Some of the political leaders have inherited problems that are in no way attributable to the faith. New governance solutions have to be tested and validated over time. Nor do I believe Muslim states are systematically economic underperformers. Some of the fastest growing economies and some of the most successful newly industrialized countries are in the Islamic world. Now concerning democracy: My democratic beliefs do not go back to the Greek or French (thinkers) but to an era 1,400 years ago. These are the principles underlying my religion. During the prophet's life (peace be upon him), there was a systematic consultative political process. And the first imam of the Shiites, Prophet Muhammad's cousin and son-in-law, Hazrat Ali, emphasized: "No honor is like knowledge, no power is like forbearance, and no support is more reliable than consultation." [NOTE: Pericles, Locke, Montequieu, et al did not found democracy as we know it: it was Muhammad. You infidels, so ignorant, how on earth could you even think of inventing democracy.

Democracy in the Middle East? Oh, but that is because of the inherited problems, .... from Western societies, of course].

[...] SPIEGEL: Not many are functioning democracies.

Aga Khan: People speak about failed states. I do not think that states can fail, but democracies certainly can. The failure of democracy is not specific to the Islamic world. Indeed, about two years ago, the United Nations carried out an in-depth analysis of democracy in South America. About 55 percent of the population in South American states said that they would prefer to live under a paternalistic dictatorship instead of an incompetent or corrupt democracy that is not improving their living condition. [NOTE: firstly, there are some of them who have stablished democracies which function really well, as Chile, Brazil or Mexico -yes, Mexico is better than Morocco. The frontier with the most different way of live/religion/expenditure... is Spanish-Morocan one].

Secondly, they are speaking about a paternalistic dictatorship, not the same as in Iran (that is the result of an honour killingsmile_angry), for example.

And thirdly, there are Moroccan people coming to Spain saying that Spain is a Monarchy as Morocco, where a Monarch administers as he wants the happiness and the sufferings of his subjects. If Moroccans think like that, what would someone from other countries more underdeveloped than theirs? What would be the results of that analysis in Muslim countries?

Lastly, how many South Americans have come to other countries to kill people because of frustration/political problems/ignorance -accepting that is the reason-? How many they have killed in their countries by the same reasons? Is there any kind of ideal about conquering the world/killing all people that are not South Americans? Eeeh, let me think... NO. Yes, there have been South-American terrorists but were they supported by the population?]

He also does a large exposition about Iraqi war that finishes with:

SPIEGEL: In your opinion, was it pure ignorance and naivete that made the Bush government start the war? Was it really about introducing democracy or a strategic decision about conquering oil fields and military bases?

Aga Khan: I wish I could answer that question.

I'm normally very moderate about my comments on Islam. But this kind of stupid politically correct comments, just make me wonder. He is soooooooo cultivated, and yet he thinks the non-Muslims are idiot/stupid?

Gossip news: Aga Khan IV is the grandson of Aga Khan III, who was the founder of the Muslim League and the 48th Imam of the Sect of the Shia Ismaili. The son of Aga Khan III -and father of Aga Khan IV- was Prince Ali Khan, who married Rita Hayworth.  Yes, the actress. [NOTE: Rita Hayworth is not his mother]

Oh, no, you're so cultivated, just know that these quarrels[Protestant versus Catholic] have no basis in religion.

I suppose you are typing faster than you are thinking, since obviously such quarrels have a basis in religion. But Khan is more factually accurate here than you in even the question of whether Christians have used the Bible to support their military efforts, since it is matter of historical fact that they have. The key difference between Christianity and Islam is not any false claim that Christianity has been innocent of warfare, but instead that Christianity does not encourage warfare and urges peaceful solutions when possible. This is more than enough of a contrast with Islam to show Christianity to be a much better religion.

Pastorius,

Here are the 20 points with supporting links as requested in a comment to a previous post. Maybe other commenters would like to suggest additional links:

The formatting will need to be tidied up for posting.



Islam ...

1) Is a mind-control and information-control cult founded by a murderer, torturer, brigand, rapist and pedophile called Mohammed. The mind-control and information-control aspects require that all criticism be silenced.

2) Is Mohammed's personality cult. Has no foundations other than Mo's murderous rantings (Koran and Hadith). The Koran consists of two conflicting parts - Meccan and Medinan (peaceful and violent respectively). The Medinan stuff supersedes ('abrogates') the Meccan stuff. Muslims act Medinan, but quote Meccan verses to the gullible infidels.

3) Claims to worship the same God as Christians and Jews, but in fact worships Allah - a demonic channelling through Mohammed's psychopathic ego. The Death Cult mixes garbled versions of Christian and Jewish scriptures with pagan practices such as moon and meteorite-worship, and cut-throat blood sacrifice of animals and non-believers.

5) Cannot withstand rational criticism. Can only spread and maintain itself by ignorance, illiteracy, war, terrorism, and intimidation. Islam has bloody borders and cannot co-exist peacefully with other belief systems. Winston Churchill said that Islam in a man is as dangerous as hydrophobia (rabies) in a dog.

6) Has a superstitious dread of images of pigs, crosses, Buddhas, Saint George (and his flag) and of course Motoons.

7) Regards Islamic women as semihuman. Wife-beating, incest and child abuse (including mufa’khathat or 'thighing' - the ritual abuse of infants) are encouraged.

Treatment of women:

http://www.hinduunity.org/articles/islamexposed/excerptsayatollah.html ,




8) Regards all unbelievers (Kaffirs, Kuffar, Kufrs, Kafirs) as ritually unclean subhumans to be killed, subjugated, enslaved, exploited or parasitised. Kafirs are described by the Arabic word 'najis' - literally 'filth'. That's why Muslim hatred of Kafirs is intrinsic to their 'religion'. A Kafir doesn't need to DO anything to offend a Muslim, his very existence is enough of an affront.

Najis kafirs:

9) The ethical system applies only to Muslims. Allah encourages rape, pillage, extortion and enslavement of non-Muslims. Morality does not extend beyond the global gang (ummah). Muslim ethics are the ethics of the Mafia.

Loyalty to the Ummafia

10) Allah's followers are motivated by hatred, greed and lust. There is no love, mercy or compassion. Allah is vindictive, unpredictable, capricious and devious - "Allah leads astray whom he pleases".

11) The only religion NOT founded on The Golden Rule. Morality is based on Mohammed's example. If Mohammed did it then it's OK for all Muslims. Hence the encouragement of rape, pillage, subjugation and murder of non-believers and the institutionalised pedophilia prevalent throughout Muslim society (justified by Mohammed's activities with Ayesha, his child sex-slave - see and listen to http://islamcomicbook.com/lyrics1.htm).

12) All human relations are defined by Dominance/Subjugation. Muslims have schizoid inferiority/superiority complexes. (A well-balanced Muslim is one with a chip on each shoulder). They respect strength but despise compromise as weakness. Appeasement invites more aggression. The only political system which has been strong enough to subjugate Islam is Stalinism.

Honor/shame, dominance and subjugation:

Appeasement:
http://www.frontpagemag.com/Articles/ReadArticle.asp?ID=13284,




13) Polygamy ensures alpha-males get extra women, leading to a shortage of women for the betas. Beta-males must either jerk off (a sin leading to hell), or form dog-packs and rape or capture kafir women as booty in a razzia, or else self-destruct in the presence of infidels then they can screw 72 mythical virgins in Allah's bordello in the sky (see and listen to http://islamcomicbook.com/lyrics3.htm). Beta-males are often encouraged by their relatives to become suicide bombers because of the belief that such murderous 'martyrs' will be able to intercede with Allah to take 70 of their relatives to paradise with them.

14) Lying and deception of infidels (taqiyya) is encouraged. This may take many forms, including outright lies, feigned moderation, and condemnation of terrorist attacks to the Kaffir while rejoicing with fellow Muslims. All Muslims need to regard themselves as victims of some group of Kafirs so they can harbor grudges against them and against Kafirs in general. Individuals may appear law-abiding and reasonable, but they are part of a totalitarian movement, and must be considered potential killers who can flip in an instant (SJS -'Sudden Jihad Syndrome').

15) Muslims are forbidden to befriend Kaffirs except for purposes of deceit or where conversion may be possible.

http://www.islamreview.com/articles/whoareinfidels.shtml http://www.danielpipes.org/comments/25283




16) The Koran is Allah's final word and cannot be changed or challenged. To do so is punishable by death. Consequently, the Death Cult can never change or be reformed. The instructions to murder and rape infidels are just as valid now as the day they were written. Since Islam cannot be modernised, the Muslims are attempting to Islamise modernity. This requires spreading Islam in the West and simultaneously preventing any criticism of the cult by intimidation and PC legislation to curtail freedom of expression.

http://www.onlineopinion.com.au/view.asp?article=3674


17) Treaties and agreements with Kaffirs are made to be broken (Hudna). The word of a Muslim to a Kafir counts for nothing in the eyes of Allah. Allah is The Father Of Lies.

Hudna:
http://jihadwatch.org/archives/004085.php http://www.middleeastinfo.org/forum/index.php?showtopic=8365



18) The world is divided between Dar-al-Islam and Dar-al-Harb (the domain of war, the Kufr lands). Muslims living in Dar-al-Harb must work to disrupt their host nations until these can be brought into Dar-al-Islam.

Dar al Harb and the Umma:
http://www.islamreview.com/articles/hatredinislam.shtml , http://www.frontpagemagazine.com/Articles/ReadArticle.asp?ID=2601
http://www.ucg.org/commentary/madridbombings.htm



19) Muslims have no obligation to their host nations and in fact are encouraged to parasitise them. Welfare fraud, identity theft, forgery etc are endemic in Western Muslim populations, and serious crime against Kaffirs is regarded as normal and justified.

20) The attack on the host nation isn't just against its religion and economy, but is aimed at its very cultural identity. Islam is a complete system, including a culture, which Muslims regard as superior (despite all evidence to the contrary) to other cultures. Muslims are therefore required to destroy the symbols of 'Jahiliya' (sometimes sp. Jahiliyya) - non-Muslim culture. In the East this has included destruction of Hindu temples and Christian churches and replacement with mosques, and destruction of Buddhist artwork and universities and replacement with heaps of rubble. This process of cultural replacement is now beginning in the West..

ROP,
Wow, you're the man. Thanks so much.

It does seem kind of declasse for a man of such wealth and influence over millions to play the victim card so much. But perhaps that sums up the difference between a Western and a Muslim world view?

In any case, among the Muslims of this world, the present-day Ismailis are perhaps among the least offensive to Western sensibilities. There are many near where I live in Vancouver, mostly refugees from Idi Amin I believe, and they often have healthy worldly ambitions to succeed in school, professions, and business; they accept capitalism, don't tent their women, and they are capable of making non-Muslim friends.

However, this has not been enough to avoid all kinds of tensions at the level of the individual Ismaili youth torn between two worlds. There are ruined lives, forced marriages, mental illness, apostates, to be found in this community, as well as a secretive Mosque world of neo-Platonic rituals that is firmly closed to the outsider. I believe there are Muslims who don't consider the Ismailis to be real Muslims.

Wow, I have nt seen so much hate as expressed here - why can't you recognize the value of the Aga Khan's comments as a moderate, intelligent view instead of going over board and defiling everything that is Islam - you are not the only one with divine privilges to decide that the christian god is the only god

"Through the development network that bears his name, the Aga Khan has contributed significantly to advancement and stability in Asia and Africa while promoting Islam as a thinking, spiritual faith that teaches compassion," said Mr. Harper (Canadian Prime Minister).... {NOTE: The Emphasis he is not that a Politician is hand-shaking here and trying to butter-up Aga Khan and his image...rather, a true sense of appreciation of the true Islam... which this Aga Khan seems to try and portray to teh world... }

All that was done in the pre-historic times during the life of Prophet Muhammed (SAW)
... was for that time... it's now passe... What was the essense, the truth and the sense of peace is what we need to "cultivate" amongst other faiths...

Are we forgeting that Prophet Muhammed (SAW) was the last Prophet and he was precedded by many others and their teachings are embedded in our principles too...

Qu'ran is not just a book... read deeper and not just the literal way ... the way madrasas read ... read with getting the essence the inner meaning teh reason for each phrase... and you shall realize the beauty of Islam... the peace!

The Aga Khan is an extremely intellectual man. He leads his people in to the future towards success. He promotes peace and helping of others. Have you not heard of work done by the Aga Khan development network, the annual partership walk, and work with Focus? If not, maybe looking into that would help you understand what the Aga Khan and ismailis are REALLY about. Ismailis, are extremely progressive. The vast majoritey of us un the western world do not have arranged mariiages, as consider women to be capable just as men are. As for comments on what happens in our "closed doors" mosques, they most certainly are not closed door. If you know where one of mosques are, put on a nice dress shirt, go in, take off your shoes, sit down. I guaranteee you nobody will say a thing. All we really do is say a couple of verses out of the quran, and the whole thing is over in about 20-30 minutes. Above all, there is no such thing as a radical or terrorist ismaili, just thinking about that makes me laugh! Maybe the writer of this document should rethink what he has wrote, and people who read this paper and see what I have wrote should definetely look into what I have said in more depth.

A real theologian doesn't use links to support arguments. Read all the holy books from a spiritual point of view before commenting. Can't do it can you? Not patient enough I am sure! Heehee! For being so one-sided, you seem to have an unrestful and violent mind...not really a very good Xtian. Try Satanism, buddy, because that one will probably work for you best! In Satanism, the SELF is GOD, and apprently, that is the only thing that matters to you. YOU finding your little links... The Aga Khan is one of the most altristic and progressive people. If you want to see people come out of the dark ages and come into your highly esteemed knowledge on the subject of Islam, why don't you start a foundation and develop something other than a nasty obscure blog?

Listen buddy, lighten up, looks like you are lost, I think you need more education, look at the history, looks like blind person can post such a thing. I don't think you haven't finished kindagarden of you life yet, grow up. Let me see if you can even manage yourself first for rest of your life. I feel pity on you. Such a loser.

I read almost all comments... most of them are emotions, anger, rage, and lack of education.
I recommand each one of you to read carefully Quran, and please do not base your ideas on what you underestand, because until now I can proof that all of you guys are wronggggggggggggggggggggggggggggg.
If you want proof just let me know.
Regards

Some people at the end said that we do not do arrange mariage things like that... it really makes me laugh what is he thinking. Some one already asked that we did arrange mariage with Allah without even seeing him, lol... that is funny. A mother or father always think for the betterment of his or her child. If you think that you are doing good thing comparing to your dady it means you are born b4 your dady... that is again lack of education of the westreners.

Become aware guyssssssssssss

Hmm...
Reading the above article and comments requires you to leave your brain, logic, rational thinking, and sensibilities, all behind.
It's very easy to talk trash about something you don't know; how about talking sense about something that can make a positive difference to this world, as opposed to creating more distrust and hate.

Listen to the interview and the words spoken. Do not twist them and spin-them to justify your agenda.

A good interview-
Aga Khan has a lot of knowledge and is a man of reason, an Institution of knowledge that we should hear, listen and act on.

I believe the comments comming from Atom are based on Ignorance to the Maximum.

When Aga Khan talks, the world leaders stop and Listen......
He is a man of reason....a man that uplifts the value of human life and dignity

Please get more information about the Aga Khan before you post something that you have no knowledge of...

What a profoundly stupid comment. You're comment may be one of the dumbest comments of all time.

You tell us to get more info on the man.

This is a fucking interview with Aga Khan, you god damned dumbass.

What the fuck is wrong with you?

Anonymous said...

You have reached the height of stupidity.
I once again with total intelligence say that get more info about the Aga Khan than place a comment.

As we know 80% are sheep, seems you are a sheep as well, just get knowldege and than make comments.
