Let’s Talk About How Islam Has Been Hijacked
The Wall Street Journal ^ | 10/26/2014 | Aly Salem

Posted on 10/28/2014 7:59:14 AM PDT by chajin

This week a Canadian Muslim gunman went on a rampage in Ottawa, killing a soldier and storming into the Parliament building before he was shot dead. Authorities have since said he had applied for a passport to travel to Syria. Three Muslim schoolgirls from Colorado were intercepted in Germany apparently on their way to Syria, the base for attacks there and in Iraq by the terror group Islamic State, or ISIS. An Aug. 20 article in Newsweek estimated that perhaps twice as many British Muslims are fighting for ISIS as are serving in the British army.

What could possibly inspire young Muslims in the West to abandon their suburban middle-class existence and join a holy war? How could teenagers in Denver or anywhere be lured by a jihadist ideology—or are grisly videos of ISIS beheadings and crucifixions not enough of a deterrent?...

Islam is a totalitarian ideology that hides under the veil of religion.

Want to hate and kill Jews?
Want to extinguish free speech?
Want to not allow political parties with democratic agendas?
etc...

...by the way, I’m talking about the Nazi’s :)

Yet Islam is not different, in fact it is worse. It is breathtaking that people can’t see evil for what it is, they’re confused because it is called a “religion”. Sorry, no it isn’t - it just claims to be and therefore fools billions.

Islam is a political force claiming to be religion. It is time people woke up. I don’t want to hear about “moderates” either, when the radicals show up the moderates will still point out where you live. They’ll not protest in support of you, this is why you never see outrage at Muslim atrocities. They don’t want to be labeled a “bad muslim”.

Islam was NEVER “hijacked”, it HAS ALWAYS been BAD from the start the devil appeared from the start as an “angel of light” to Mo.

And before Mo hijacked “Islam’s potential,” Islam hijacked the Bible and the Torah in the First Given half of the koran.

The Second Given half of the koran is original and the only part of allah’s word that is relevant according to Mo, since those were the last words of allah: Kill the nonbeliever.

Islam hasn’t been hijacked. It’s never been a good thing for any land it infects . . .

With the possible exception of its Saudi Arabian homeland and even that is arguable. Before: It was practicing human sacrifice and was a land of brigands. After: It was a land which exported their violence elsewhere.

Persia. Before: A center of culture and art. The replacements for the fallen Roman Empire of the West.

Byzantium. Before: Shelter of the civilization of what remained of the Roman Empire. After: Center of the Turkish Caliphate whose main claim to fame was that it hadn't deteriorated as far as the rest of the Islam World.

Palestine/Lebanon/Syria. Before: Eastern outposts of Christianity and Judaism. Good mix of Byzantine, Roman, Persian and Judeo-Christian. After: An economic backwater where sites sacred to Jew, Christians and (supposedly) Muslims were allowed to deteriorate to near ruin, a process reversed only by the post World War I colonization by Great Britain and France and the 1948 founding of the State of Israel.

East Africa. Before: Backward, but peaceful. After: Still backward, but able to live off the successes of their neighbors by the introduction of the slave trade.

You guys keep linking to a pay site.

There’s a way to beat it. Instead of clicking the link, Google the article by putting its entire tile, with its native capitalization, in the search pane. You’ll get the whole thing.

There's a shortcut. Install an extension that spoofs the Referer header to make it appear you clicked on a Google page to get there. E.g., that you came from http://news.google.com/, not from FR.

Examples: RefControl for Firefox or Referer Control for Chrome.

Islam’s potential’’? Potential to do what? Be peaceful? Mo’ was a criminal from the get go. There isn’t anything about Islam that has any ‘’potential’’ other than to be a criminal organization masquerading as a ‘’religion.’’
