I guess building bridges between our communities will be a little harder than some would have us believe. From OBM on-line, the official repository for the “wisdom” of Omar Bakhi Muhammed

The Jews and Christians want to make Christianity, Judaism and Islam the same in order to the stop the jizyah and what it represents. Jizyah is not just an economic transaction or a tax taken from the Kuffaar; rather, jizyah represents the submission of the Kuffaar to Islam.

Allah (SWT) says in the Qur’aan, “Rule and judge by whatever Allah (SWT) has revealed”. Verily, the call for the interfaith theory using any of its slogans or symbols is a call to unite the Deen of Islam, al-Haq, the absolute truth, the Deen which dominates and abrogates all other ways of life, with what the Jews and the Christians believe in. Their (the disbelievers’) deen is falsehood and an evil religion.

Interfaith is one of the biggest conspiracies and plots against Islam and the Muslims. The Jews and the Christians forsake their disputes and differences and gather on common ground, which is their hatred and animosity towards Islam. They package interfaith with glossy slogans and send their own messengers with lies and fabrications, inevitably leading to the most terrifying destiny for the Muslims.

The Islamic verdict on Interfaith is that it is an innovation at the ‘aqeedah (belief) level, it is a call for kufr and misguidance and leads to inevitable apostasy from Islam. Interfaith is a contradiction to all that is known in Islam by necessity at the belief level. It violates the sanctity of Almighty Allah, His books, the Messengers and all previous Prophets. It invalidates the domination and abrogation by the Qur’aan, over whatever was before. It invalidates the finality of the message of Islam and invalidates the Prophethood of the final Messenger Muhammad (SAW). The views of trinity call for kufr and the one who promotes kufr is a Kaafir. It is prohibited for Muslims to participate in or to attend any interfaith conference or seminar, even if one rejects the interfaith theory. Therefore, the fatwaa is as follows.

It is not allowed for a Muslim who believes Allah (SWT) is the Lord, Islam is the Deen and Muhammad (SAW) is the final Messenger to respond to the call of interfaith. It is not allowed to join its organization, participate in its activities or attribute oneself to its activities or seminars or any type of interfaith gathering. It is compulsory for Muslims to reject the interfaith call, oppose it, warn the Muslims about it and about the consequence of believing in its values, i.e. that the consequences are apostasy. We must seek reward from Allah (SWT) by exposing interfaith, by putting hatred in the hearts of the people towards it and by showing all types of rejection towards it.

The interfaith organizations must be thrown out of Muslim lands; they must be boycotted, isolated and sent into exile. Those who call for it must be cut from their roots, so that their beliefs are confined to their own hearts. We must not permit any of the slogans of interfaith to reach the public arena. It is compulsory for the Muslims to establish the Islamic state and appoint an international khaleefah, who will establish the Hudood of apostasy for the one who believes in interfaith. We must call for the Hudood as protection for the sanctity of the Deen of Allah, as discipline for those who want to play with the Deen of Allah, as obedience to Allah (SWT) and His Messenger and in order for the pure Sharee’ah to prevail, i.e. the pure Deen of Allah.

Notice that the Imam is saying that Christians and Jews reaching out to the Muslim community in kindness is some sort of plot against Islam. In other words, being nice to Wahhabists doesn’t pay

So what’s our other option?
