It’s Time to Take the Islamic State Seriously

Islam has no central or definitive body or figure authorized to define what exactly it is. Opinions about its essence and scope vary widely according to the political or philosophic background of its own interpreters. The current effort to establish an Islamic State, with a designated Caliph, again to take up the mission assigned to Islam, brings to our attention the question: “What is Islam?”

The issue of “terror” is a further aspect of this same understanding. Many outside Islam seek to separate “terror” and “Islam” as if they were, in their usage, independent or even opposed ideas. This latter view is almost impossible seriously to maintain in the light of Islamic history and the text of the Qur’an itself.

John Kerry, however, insists that what we see is “terrorism” with nothing to do with Islam. The Obama administration seems to have a rule never to identify Islam with “terrorism,” no matter what the evidence or what representatives of the Islamic State themselves say. The vice-president speaks of “Hell” in connection with actions of the Islamic State. Diane Feinstein speaks of “evil” behind the current slaughters in Iraq and Syria. The pope mentions “stopping aggression.” The English hate-laws prevent frank and honest discussion of what actually goes on in Islamic countries or communities in the West. Not even Winston Churchill’s critical view of Islam is permitted to be read in public.

Ecumenism and liberalism both, in their differing ways, because of their commitment to tolerance and free speech, make it difficult to deal with what is happening in Islamic states. Islam is not friendly to relativism or to subtle distinctions.

An absolute MUST-READ. A Catholic priest has taken the time to thoroughly study Islamic doctrine and the history of Islam and he has articulated his opinion in very clear terms. A courageous move given the official statements on Islam from much of the Catholic church's leadership in America.

You certainly don't have to be Catholic to appreciate the significance of this article.

ISLAM RELIGION OF THE SWORD

Obama’s father was Muslim, and by Islamic law, he was Muslim by birth. He was educated as Muslim in Indonesia, the most populated Muslim country in the world. Obama knows their prayers, and praised them as the most beautiful sound in the world. He studied the ”holy” Koran and Muhammad teachings.

Obama, might not know American history, or that United States have 50 states, no 53; but he knows well the bloody history of Islam, even though he still call it a “religion of peace”.

It is a well known fact the bloody history of Islam, but Obama, and a gutless media, still call it a “religion of peace”, even though that in the name of Allah more than 220 millions infidels have been slaughtered by Muslim, since the prophet of Allah beheaded in 627 AD over 700 hundred men and the pubescent boys and enslaved the women and children. In doing this, he wiped entirely the last remaining major tribe of Jews in Medina: the Qurayza.

Under Obama’s lawless regime we might see beheading in U.S. spreading as a virus more lethal than Ebola.

Beheading is Islam M.O., That’s Why Mohammed Owned a Sword Named “Cleaver of Vertebrae”

Posted By Daniel Greenfield On September 30, 2014

Islam really is the religion of the sword. Mohammed had a huge sword collection, a lot of them stolen from other people, and he gave a name to each of his swords because he was kind of a psycho. One of his favorite swords was Dhu al-Faqar or “Cleaver of Vertebrae”. When you see this kind of sword on a Jihadist flag, that’s ole Faqar. Muslim legend says that the sword was given to Mohammed by an angel. Actually he looted it in battle or his followers did.”

“Dhu al-Faqar is the name of this sword, taken as Booty by the prophet Muhammad at the Battle of Badr. It is reported that the prophet Muhammad gave the sword to Ali b. Abi Talib, and that Ali returned from the Battle of Uhud covered with blood from his hands to his shoulders, having Dhu al-Faqar with him. “

To avoid the fate of Lebanon o Eurasia, mass deportation of Muslims is in order. Close the door to more Muslim immigration. Close Mosques involve in promotion of hate against US or promoting Islamic terrorism.

Fr Schall is very good - he’s one of the remaining smart, orthodox Jesuits!

A good sign, however, is that this morning at the closing of a conference of Middle Eastern bishops, the Pope actually cited the “Islamic State” by name as a threat to Christians and called for worldwide opposition to it. He’s been pretty vague about the issue, but maybe reality is sinking in.

Keep in mind that before Obola was elected the idiot George W. Bush worked overtime to sell Islam to the USA, and his stuck on stupid sycophants want him back.

Of course Islam is a pedophile death cult, but even here on these forums it's defenders were ready to stand up for it even in the immediate wake of 9/11.

There really are people who can be fooled all of the time.

Islam is the Pale (Green) Horse of the Apocalypse. Its rider is named Death and Hell follows him.

IS is a state-—Its not a bunch of terrorists—Its more like Nazi Germany (only not as powerful—yet) We should declare war upon them and invade (with Russian and Syrian Permission).
