Here's Why Islam Wants Our Heads -- In THEIR Own Words
Townhall.com ^ | November 29, 2015 | Doug Giles

Posted on 11/29/2015 5:09:48 AM PST by Kaslin

The other day I was talking to an acquaintance of mine at the gun range about the Paris terrorist attacks. What he surmised was the root cause of that senseless slaughter by Islamic radicals nearly made me drop my Sig Sauer on the range floor.

The Texan told me that he believes Islam wouldn't be killing innocent peeps as they ate their dinner or enjoyed a death metal concert or watched a soccer game if said nutters had more "job opportunities".

What he said was shocking to me because of two primary things:

1). A frickin' Texan said that crap.

2). Someone really thinks if Ahmed was a barista at a Starbucks in Babbila that alone would make someone stoked on the 7th century murderous ramblings of a pedophile who believed God personally talked to him chill out regarding ill-will towards us "infidels".

I think not.

Matter of fact, I think that particular job would actually make things much worse because he'd be all jacked up on caffeine and everyone would make fun of him for working at a Starbucks which would lead to … well … um … uh … more … ka-boom!

Indeed, many on the Left are still left wondering:

1). Why is Islam attacking Europe and America?

2). Is it because they feel unloved and so lonely?

3). Is Islam getting really tired of seeing Katy Perry's constant display of her ample assets?

4). Is Islam enraged at Ryan Seacrest's overuse of American Crew's Molding Clay?

5). Is Islam not actually attacking us and it’s merely a few rogue scalawags that have hijacked what Obama calls a 'beautiful religion?'

Are one or more of the aforementioned the reason(s) why they're out of sorts with the West?

Many Europeans think that in order to get Islam to stop killing them they should open their borders even wider to their "refugees", stop eating bangers and mash, tell Katy P to cool it with the cleavage and ban all male hair pomades. Especially those with the satanic "high shine" and "heavy hold".

While a lot of Leftists, primarily, are getting wrapped around the angst axle wondering why Islam is in defcon mode with The West, and are thus changing their laws to accommodate Islam, being politically correct, banning Jello and the smell of BBQ, hoping that such concessions will get radical Muslims to calm down, I say we examine why they say they hate the West and are out to kill us.

Wes Walker, my buddy and religious editor over at my website ClashDaily.com, did a little poking around after the Paris attacks and found out that the reason why the Islamic State killed 100-plus and wounded hundreds of others was not because of political, economic or cultural reasons but were, instead, explicitly religious reasons.

Here's Walker's findings and his comments. Check it out:

When claiming responsibility for the Paris attacks IS said: "In a blessed battle … believers … set out targeting the capital of prostitution and vice, the lead carrier of the cross in Europe Paris" (Quote in context here).

Two very specific points are made. They are attacking what they see as moral corruption, and they are attacking a city that however untrue it may be today historically, was very much associated with Christianity.

We love to point fingers at the Crusades, that they were a great historical evil, but neglect the wider context that Western armies were called upon in response to Islam's aggressive Empire-building, militarily swallowing up of areas that were the seedbed of Christianity.

In previous generations, Europe was the breakwater that the waves of Islamic expansion crashed against before being turned away. Not so now. And that statement by the attackers sheds some light in it.

Previously, Europe resisted two pitfalls. We were not fully conquered even when their military held the advantage and more importantly, we were not assimilated. We were not, despite the fact that Islam's dhimmi laws echo Secularism's approach to rival religion in the public square -- suppression of traditional belief, and actively inviting, and rewarding its abandonment.

We were able to resist, because we held to something that defined us, called us to virtue, courage, endurance and hope. That same "something" was actively undermined by Enlightenment philosophers, and -- in Paris itself saw a bloody purge during the Reign of Terror.

That "something" (historical Christian faith) was replaced with a variety of -isms, some of them religious, some of them political, others a more basically hedonistic grasping for money, pleasure or power.

So, when reporters gloss over the song that was playing when the slaughter began "Kiss the Devil" they overlook the very impetus of the attackers.

They believed themselves the righteous, purging the world of evildoers. They do not distinguish between the paganism or the Christianity of the West, believing the former to be part of the latter.

They attack us, because they still see us as the Great Enemy we once were, the same one that pushed back their empire, retaking Spain and Southeast Europe.

Our resistance is now feeble, in part, because we no longer know who we are, or for what we stand. We’ve jettisoned our values, and replaced them with Politically Correct platitudes.

And so, now that we’ve identified the moral vacuum, what will we do about it?

So, after reading Wes's assessment and the killers' own admissions of their motivations for the massacre in Paris, do you guys still think that more jobs, being PC with our beliefs and speech, and opening wide our borders to their hordes will get them to chill with their Islamic ill-will?

Islam is like herpes. It goes dormant for a while after you treat it. However it always comes back to fester and boil on its host.

There are ample spinoffs about crusades, debauched culture and so on — and maybe that is the subtext. But the trigger, the pretext, for this whole business is 1948. The Wile E Coyote muslims keep going back to the drawing board to find some way of rolling back what happened to them in 1948. Israel, the Roadrunner, is what the rage is about; and anyone who likes the idea of Israel’s survival enough to help sustain it is squarely in the crosshairs.

How the Crusades saved Europe and America

Part of a great series on the "Real History of the Crusades". Well documented, and quite encompassing (for a video series).

Actually I don’t buy that argument. Muslims would still be killing Jews even if there was no homeland. If the Palestinian problem was so bad leading up to Israel’s creation, how come Saudi Arabia, Syria, Turkey, Iran, Iraq, Jordan, Oman, UAE (or predecessor) give these poor refugees actual refuge? For that matter, why aren’t these same countries providing refuge for all the refuse invading Europe now?

The videos show it - Germany or Bust .....give me money, money, money - housing, housing, housing......nothing at all said about jobs.

The real impetus for all this was the crowning of Mohammed as a prophet of Allah and the subsequent inculcation of this debauched pervert’s teaching into Islam at large. It is a disease that needs no reason for existence now - it just exists and spreads.

The differences of ALL religions from Islam, end up being far greater than any incidental similarities.

Almost all other religions have an underlying doctrine of forgiveness and mercy, and the underlying expectation that, with time and growing familiarity, those not of that religion could come to understand and believe what the practitioners of that religion already do as a matter of course and training. Not that that religion would wish one would convert (some of the other religions have strong resistance to proselytes), but that at least a sort of mutual respect and tolerance would grow between various belief systems.

Islam, on the other hand, has a “My way or DIE!” attitude, and their “tolerance” is limited to, “Well, you can keep your religion, but only if you acknowledge that your god is a lesser God than Allah, as revealed to the Prophet Mohammed Ali, and keeping to a true interpretation of that prophecy.”

Failure to acknowledge what, to them, is the “very obvious” superiority of Allah, is cause enough for killing (preferably by beheading, but other means are perfectly satisfactory, too) the “Kufir” or infidels. Even the wrong interpretation of what Allah may have revealed to Mohammed, is reason enough to slaughter the poor fool who chose to believe the “wrong path”. And trying to leave Islam, a crime known as apostasy, is also considered to be worthy of no less than a death sentence.

The truth is, Muslims are in far greater danger from OTHER Muslims, than they may ever be from any non-Muslim they may encounter. Islam is not a real religion, by any means, but they do make up a broad and sometimes inflexible ideology.

That ideology (expressed as Shari’ah law) is almost entirely incompatible with any other civilized system anywhere, and is not subject to reforming itself in any way.

“Righteous” is not at all the same thing as “right”. The bearded men with the burning eyes do not share a moral compass with the majority of people.

I agree there are lots of symptoms. But in point of fact, there is only one cause. By that I mean the cause whereby muslims came out of their shell. Jews’ existence as a powerful state in their midst is an affront to allah, the koran and all of their medieval sensibilities.
That is the text. The rest is subtext. Israel’s continued existence humiliates them. They continually refer to this humiliation.
So, I have noticed that people with a mostly secular worldview do not acknowledge that Israel is the linchpin in all that we are seeing these past 65+ years. I am never surprised that interpretations other than mine exist.

Sorry for the double post. My computer and modem decided to digress into some dispute, so I pushed “enter” again while they were disagreeing. Hate that. But I guess if I think back a few years, we’d have fought everyone in wal-mart for the privilege of double posting. LOL

For some oddball reason leftists hate every other religion (especially Christianity) but tolerate Islam. Whenever a Muslim terrorist strikes, these leftists announce that 500 or 1000 years ago some Christian people killed some other people in the name of Christ.

Are there Christians (or people from religions other than Islam) doing that now? No, they're not. And if some religious nut does pop up to kill someone in the name of Christ, they are denounced, arrested and punished by other Christians.

Like virtually every other issue, leftists are unable to see the obvious: Islam is not compatible with modern civilization. Turkey seemed to be on the path to shaking off the shackles of primitive Islamic law when Kemal Ataturk secularized the country in the early 20th century. But now even Turkey with Erdogan seems to be regressing.

Show me the modern Islamic state which is not aggressive, regressive, and incompatible with western civilization. Then I'll believe that Islam has a chance to placed with modern civilized religions.

Islam has been at war with everyone else since 622 A.D.
It must remain so until thereis only Islam according to their book.
Mad Mo made it so.

John Quincy Adams on Islam

In the seventh century of the Christian era, a wandering Arab of the lineage of Hagar, the Egyptian, combining the powers of transcendent genius, with the preternatural energy of a fanatic, and the fraudulent spirit of an impostor, proclaimed himself as a messenger from Heaven, and spread desolation and delusion over an extensive portion of the earth. Adopting from the sublime conception of the Mosaic law, the doctrine of one omnipotent God; he connected indissolubly with it, the audacious falsehood, that he was himself his prophet and apostle. Adopting from the new Revelation of Jesus, the faith and hope of immortal life, and of future retribution, he humbled it to the dust, by adapting all the rewards and sanctions of his religion to the gratification of the sexual passion. He poisoned the sources of human felicity at the fountain, by degrading the condition of the female sex, and the allowance of polygamy; and he declared undistinguishing and exterminating war, as a part of his religion, against all the rest of mankind. THE ESSENCE OF HIS DOCTRINE WAS VIOLENCE AND LUST: TO EXALT THE BRUTAL OVER THE SPIRITUAL PART OF HUMAN NATURE.

Between these two religions, thus contrasted in their characters, a war of twelve hundred years has already raged. That war is yet flagrant; nor can it cease but by the extinction of that imposture, which has been permitted by Providence to prolong the degeneracy of man. While the merciless and dissolute dogmas of the false prophet shall furnish motives to human action, there can never be peace upon earth, and good will towards men. The hand of Ishmael will be against every man, and every man’s hand against him. It is, indeed, amongst the mysterious dealings of God, that this delusion should have been suffered for so many ages, and during so many generations of human kind, to prevail over the doctrines of the meek and peaceful and benevolent Jesus (Blunt, 1830, 29:269, capitals in orig.).

Israel? Really? This war by Islam against the world has been going on for 1,400 years.

Riddle me this, Batman: where do the Jooz fit into the picture in the Philippines or in Nigeria?

Watch “Fury”and see what Brad Pitt’s character Wardaddy says to do with the brainwashed SS troops when they encounter them in wartime.

1948 was not 1400 years ago. Islam is the problem. NOT the Jews.
