Ignorance of Islam Is No Excuse
Enza Ferreri Blog ^ | 9 August 2013 | Enza Ferreri

Muslim women in Shepherds Bush, London

The unfortunate article published on The Telegraph "Islam is way more English than the EDL" is a classical example of the most myopic and ignorant journalism. The author, Tim Stanley, has no idea of what Islam is, and yet insists in writing about Islam.

Just read this:

By contrast, most Muslims cling on to values that were once definitively English and that we could do with rediscovering. Islam instructs its followers to cherish their families, to venerate women [by beating and stoning them], to treat strangers kindly [by beheading them], to obey the law of any country they are in (yes, yes, it really does) [by imposing sharia law everywhere by hook or by crook], and to give generously. One recent poll found that British Muslims donate more money to charity than any other religious group.
Pity he doesn't know that the Quran prescribes to believers only charity for other Muslims, not infidels.

He is also unacquainted with the fact that one eighth of Muslim charity - zakat - must go, according to Islamic law, to jihadists fighting in Allah's cause: terrorists, killers of Christians in the Middle East, Hamas, al-Qaeda-linked groups and other such nice company.

The Muslim website Mission Islam clarifies it:

Zakat can be given in the path of Allah. By this is meant to finance a Jihad effort in the path of Allah, not for Jihad for other reasons. The fighter (mujahid) will be given as salary what will be enough for him. If he needs to buy arms or some other supplies related to the war effort, Zakat money should be used provided the effort is to raise the banner of Islam.
Which explains why one of the world’s largest and most influential Islamic charities, the Islamic Relief Worldwide (IRW), much loved by clueless Prince Charles and given tens of millions of dollars by the European Union, the United Nations and Western governments, is, according to an extensive amount of evidence gathered and recently published by the Gatestone Institute, “an extremist organization with a pro-terror agenda":
IRW’s accounts show that it has partnered with a number of organizations linked to terrorism and that some of charity’s trustees are personally affiliated with extreme Islamist groups that have connections to terror.
These include Hamas, al-Qaeda, terrorists in Chechnya, and other terror and Muslim Brotherhood groups in various parts of the world.

But Tim is adamant that Islam represents traditional English values worth rediscovering. What he writes next makes you think of a borderline case of a person living in a parallel universe:

Much is written about the need for Muslims to integrate better into English society, although I'm sure 99 per cent of them already do [they integrate even better into English prisons]. But I hope they retain as much of their religious identity as possible – it is vastly superior to the materialist, secular mess that they're being compelled to become a part of. [I'm really curious to know who compels them: it must be the invisible man, because I've never seen such a person or persons.]

...But its [sic] precisely because I'm a traditionalist that I look at Islam and see much to admire – ordered, sensitive to the sacred, civilised.

I suppose that it's because Islam is so civilised that Muslim countries are among the poorest, most violent, most illiterate, inhumane, politically unstable and backward countries in the world, and the people living there can't wait to leave those places to come and inhabit our materialist mess.

I am convinced that the ultimate agenda is to get EVERYONE to convert to Islam. Why?

1. Less conflict between Islam and less aggressive religions [completely ignoring the bloody conflicts between different branches of Islam, but I digress]
2. A populace that is easier to control and manipulate—more submissive
3. A populace that is more accepting of a dictatorial elite

But, you may ask, what about the Gay factor? Doesn’t Islam forbid homosexuality?

They do, but it doesn’t stop if from happening. And apparently they are okay with pedophilia too.

The "Good Muslims" are little more than non combat support personnel!

They provide aid, cover, concealment, and shelter, for the MURDERERS that walk amongst them!

They are for sodomy and sodomy of children/women. It is why women are mutilated.

Walid Shoebat on the Michael Savage show stated-—that the Saudis all prefer little boys for sex. The behavior (homosexuality) is learned through culture/environment/child abuse/severe segregation of the sexes as the Samurai/Spartans/Afghanis prove;

It is easy to convince such dhimmis to change their minds. Simply let it be known to the Muslims that they were seen desecrating a Koran. Imagine his surprised when hate filled protestors show up to demand that he be beheaded. Utterly deaf to his entreaties that he likes Islam and Muslims.

Apparently EDL stands for English Defence League.
