Corruption of the Faith (Islmaic scholars declare jihadists are not "apostates")
The American Thinker ^ | August 15, 2006 | Andrew Bostom

Posted on 08/15/2006 8:21:23 PM PDT by theBuckwheat

Far too many people in the public eye mischaracterize the acts of terrorists and other villains as inconsistent with “mainstream” Islam, as a “corruption of the faith.” While this belief is comforting, especially to those who know, work with, or must obtain cooperation from non-violent Muslims, it is historically and theologically ignorant. ...

Ignoring the expected outpouring of complaints from apologists for jihad terror who cynically decried (for example here and here), any“Islamic” references, or other less pressing semantic concerns ( “Islamism” versus “Islamic fascism”), the Washington Times editorial, indirectly, raises this critical question: just what comprises “mainstream” Islam (“of course”), as opposed to “corruption of the faith”?

... But as he noted, just before the 7/7/05 London bombings a major conference of 170 Muslim scholars from 40 countries meeting in Amman, Jordan gave an opinion in a Final Communiqu, dated July 6, 2005:

It is not possible to declare as apostates any group of Muslims who believes in Allah the Mighty and Sublime and His Messenger (may Peace and Blessings be upon him) and the pillars of faith, and respects the pillars of Islam and does not deny any necessary article of religion.

This unfortunate communiqué clearly provides immutable protection to authentic Islamic advocates of homicide bombing—like the “esteemed” clerics Yusuf Qaradawi and Al-Azhar Grand Imam Tantawi....

Important imams have declare otherwise: that "every martyrdom operation against any Israeli, including children, women, and teenagers, is a legitimate act according to [Islamic] religious law." Thus "moderates" contradict the authorities of their own religion. It is either that or a deliberate contradiction meant to mollify the West.)

Doesn't matter if the jihadis are "apostates", the question is "are they hypocrits".

If so, Moslems are commanded to kill them with no quarter granted. That is, the hypocrits can't come back into the fold ~ an apostate is given one more chance to recant his error.

And what about those of us in the West (a growing number, I suspect) that feel allah is a dopey moon-god, muhammed was a pedophile, and that their followers are a load of suicidal nitwits?

A "good" mooselimb is one who will strap a bomb on himself, herself...or their BABY, to kill "infidels." They make up about 30-35% of the total population.

A "moderate" mooselimb is one too scared or too inconvenienced to go suicide bombing. They support terrorism, hate America and Israel, and condone terrorist actions. They make up about 50-65% of the population.

A "radical" Mooselimb is one who recognizes the evil pandemic and malignant in the mooselimb world. There are 384 known examples.

Done.
