Ophidiophobia: the irrational fear of snakes.

Seeing a snake on TV, squealing in fear and running from the room is an example of ophidiophobia. Feeling a rattlesnake strike at your boot, jumping back and reaching for a pistol or even a stick is not. Preparing for a fight when you hear shouts of allah akbar is no more Islamophobia than looking for where the danger is upon hearing a snake's rattle is ophidiophobia.

That's why it irritated me so much when people went ballistic over ISIS explaining how to raise children to be fighters. That is nothing new. In the Koran, the primary purpose of women is to produce and raise jihadists. Its written right into the Hamas Covenant which is widely seen as the blueprint for a constitution of the Caliphate.

The Covenant of the Islamic Resistance Movement

The Role of the Moslem Woman:


Article Seventeen: The Moslem woman has a role no less important than that of the moslem man in the battle of liberation. She is the maker of men. Her role in guiding and educating the new generations is great. The enemies have realised the importance of her role. They consider that if they are able to direct and bring her up they way they wish, far from Islam, they would have won the battle. That is why you find them giving these attempts constant attention through information campaigns, films, and the school curriculum, using for that purpose their lackeys who are infiltrated through Zionist organizations under various names and shapes, such as Freemasons, Rotary Clubs, espionage groups and others, which are all nothing more than cells of subversion and saboteurs. These organizations have ample resources that enable them to play their role in societies for the purpose of achieving the Zionist targets and to deepen the concepts that would serve the enemy. These organizations operate in the absence of Islam and its estrangement among its people. The Islamic peoples should perform their role in confronting the conspiracies of these saboteurs. The day Islam is in control of guiding the affairs of life, these organizations, hostile to humanity and Islam, will be obliterated.

Article Eighteen: Woman in the home of the fighting family, whether she is a mother or a sister, plays the most important role in looking after the family, rearing the children and embuing them with moral values and thoughts derived from Islam. She has to teach them to perform the religious duties in preparation for the role of fighting awaiting them. That is why it is necessary to pay great attention to schools and the curriculum followed in educating Moslem girls, so that they would grow up to be good mothers, aware of their role in the battle of liberation. She has to be of sufficient knowledge and understanding where the performance of housekeeping matters are concerned, because economy and avoidance of waste of the family budget, is one of the requirements for the ability to continue moving forward in the difficult conditions surrounding us. She should put before her eyes the fact that the money available to her is just like blood which should never flow except through the veins so that both children and grown-ups could continue to live. "Verily, the Moslems of either sex, and the true believers of either sex, and the devout men, and the devout women, and the men of veracity, and the women of veracity, and the patient men, and the patient women, and the humble men, and the humble women, and the alms-givers of either sex who remember Allah frequently; for them hath Allah prepared forgiveness and a great reward." (The Confederates - verse 25).

It’s interesting the way socialists approach theological concepts but when it comes to Islam they are not the only ones who refuse to approach the issue. That even includes leading Christian clergy including Pope Francis.

Followers of Mohammed not only claim, but truly believe that God has authorized them to kill those who refuse to submit to their version of God’s will. That is a basic tenet of that religion. A claim which goes unchallanged. While it’s understandable for atheists which most socialists are, not to approach that claim on a theological basis. It’s bewildering why any Christian clergy refuse to admit it even exists and is a basic part of Islam creed and worse yet are unable to condem it.

The Koran and its enforcement of sharia law is a pseudo religious concoction using monotheistic selected texts taken and misconstrued from the new and old testaments. Both of which cite the Almighty has granted free will to accept or obey his laws and is the final judge not man. Sodom and Gahmora is a glaring example.

Yet followers of Mohammed under the severest of penalties are forbidden to read either which would refute that assertion in a creed which institutionalizes disgusting arab tribal views, observances,and customs. Claiming adhearants are authorized by our Creator to demand submission to it or suffer an ignominious death administered by followers of Islam.

I heard some of the discussion about this issue on French news this morning. It was actually pretty refreshing.

The argument was that the the term “Islamophobia” was created by Islamists as a weapon to beat down their critics, that it’s a “medicalization” (illness) of a necessary, justifiable examination and criticism of political Islam.

The take away from the discussion was that “words matter,” and that using terms designed by one’s enemies (”pro-choice/anti-choice,” anyone?), whether by oneself or in the media, promotes the enemy’s agenda.

Yeah, I don’t like the term either. It implies that I fear them, which I don’t. I prefer the term Islamoabhorent. I really do detest and abhor what they are inclicting on MY country.

I recently read something written by a psychologist who reached the conclusion that islam would collapse if they were forced to recognize that simple fact.

As our FRiend Missy observed, “using terms designed by one’s enemies (”pro-choice/anti-choice,” anyone?), whether by oneself or in the media, promotes the enemy’s agenda.”

We have allowed the enemy to shape the battlefield - that’s how you lose.

That would be the case if the goal being sought is defined as a relativistic one, but not if absolutes are employed to shape what is defined as a goal worth pursuing. For want of a better word, pragmatism allows a person to sort wheat from chaff, rather than scampering like a kitten after the chaff when some of it blows across the floor.

Phobia refers to overreaction or unfounded fear ergo Islamaphobia is the wrong term because its dangerous nature has been proven by thousands of acts of terrorism resuling in death or disfigurement...
