No, Obama, Muslim Heroism Means Reforming A Decrepit Faith

Yesterday, at the Islamic Society of Baltimore, the audience for President Obama's speech reflected an Islamist's vision of today's Muslim-American community. That setting, promoted by the media and the White House, was meant to teach the American people--and, certainly, the growing number of Muslims in America--what an authentic Muslim looks like. It was a collection of hijab-clad women and long-bearded, severe-faced men.

The choreographed scene didn't represent American Muslim immigrants like me--reformers, humanists, and critical thinkers--who find no place in Islamist mosques in this country, and are shunned by similarly Islamist pressure groups like the Council on American-Islamic Relations.

Obama's legacy in working with Muslim-American groups has consistently been flawed, with a long list of collaborators conflating detrimental narratives that reinforce pity, victimization, and loathing for America as a central and defining theme. His choice of mosque is no different.

The Islamic Society of Baltimore is riddled with direct ties to Islamist groups like the Muslim Brotherhood, a political movement designed to further an Islamic agenda through democratic means. ISB's veteran imam of 18 years, Mohammad Adam el-Sheikh, was a member of the Muslim Brotherhood.

Islam cannot be reformed.

The future must not belong to those who deny the true nature of Islam

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.).

I know when a ‘contrite’ Clinton, fresh off the BJ fields of battle and caught at it sought the guidance and counseling of ministers of faith like JJ et al there were a few photographs of the errant Slick entering or leaving a Christian Church on Sunday. Just a few as I recall.

I for the life of me can’t recall having seen a picture of the IMAM CinC entering or leaving a Christian Church on Sunday morning ONE DAY while he was in office.

If there are ‘pictures’ I’d like to see them. I don’t believer that there are any. But I do know there is at least one with him in a frigging Mosque.

Shireen is a Moslem but he is either an Apostate or he is a practitioner of the fine saracen art of strategic and tactical lying. If it be the first then he is marked for death, if the second he is part of the devils army.

Several quotes from Churchill

Winston Churchill had a keener understanding of Islam and its relations with the world than anyone in public life would give voice to even then.

In his article, Shireen struggles to sound as much like one of us so-called “anti-islamc bigots” as possible.

But—of course—he doesn’t make it!!!!

He’s part of the Devil’s army, as is that hijab-wearing, jihadi “bright young female college student”!!!!

Yes, Winston Churchill was unencumbered by political correctness, and saw Mohammedanism for what it is.

He does collect those quotes together, and his own attitudes look quite irrelevant. Put those quotes together in one place and try even to refute them and the refutations become mere noise and not even distracting noise because the materiel collected is so clear and precise.
