Islamic Cleric: “Islam is Not a Religion of Peace?”
Canada Free Press ^ | 01/10/15 | Leigh Bravo

Posted on 01/10/2015 8:38:10 AM PST by Sean_Anthony

When a leader of the Muslim community stands up and defends the murder of innocents in the name of Islam, we all need to listen, take him at his word, and respond appropriately

There was a post trending on Facebook yesterday. A commentary by a British Muslim Cleric, Anjem Choudary, in the USA Today, defending the Paris terrorist attack on the publication, Charlie Hebdo.

Why would the USA Today give a voice to a Muslim cleric who thinks the Paris attack was well deserved? Why does the US press always give front page coverage to those who have done harm, intend to do harm, or support those who do harm? Can they not grasp the concept that giving a voice to our enemies gives them the power they believe they deserve? Does the media understand that when they give our enemies a voice it allows them to draw in more support from the very people who want us dead?

In the opinion piece, Choudry claimed that people “know the consequences”of speaking ill of Mohammad. He further confirmed what we, in the public, have known all along, but our leadership refuses to acknowledge,

“Contrary to popular misconception, Islam does not mean peace but rather means submission to the commands of Allah alone. Therefore Muslims do not believe in the concept of freedom of expression, as their speech and actions are determined by divine revelation and not based on people’s desires.”

What is a Muslim cleric? The dictionary defines it as a “ulema,” meaning, “Muslim scholars trained in Islam and Islamic law.”

If people would reach out and push a button on big mouths like Choudry and maybe film his body being eaten by pigs this stuff would stop

It is a religion of “peace.”

But what is “peace”?

To Muslims, “Peace” is the absence of opposition to Islam.

Is "duh" the proper spelling for "duh"?

I would use something cheaper than a .45, and I’d make sure it was coated with lard, but other than that, I think you’re right on.

Most likely, it will require Julius Streicher therapy.

Thank you for pointing this out. Also, every time you hear someone say that Islam doesn’t condone the killing of innocents, remember that according to Islam, everyone who is not Muslim is By Definition Not in submission to Allah and therefore is infidel and is Not Innocent. That means you. That means me. According to them, we Are Not Innocent and therefore deserve death.

After 9-11 many people wanted to retaliate by turning Mecca into a sheet of radioactive glass. I thought this was a bit extreme at the time, but I’m not so sure anymore.
