into accepting liberal values, into accepting feminism”

Consider carefully what Dr. Abdur-Rafay says here: “Moreover, we’re being coerced, we’re being coerced into accepting liberal values, into accepting feminism, and undermining Islamic injunctions on homosexuality and marriage itself. In the post-9/11 era, the battle for Muslim hearts and minds seeks to produce a good Muslim- a good Muslim who believes in a secular Islam and an American Islam.”

Yet the political and media elites want us to take for granted that all Muslims in the U.S. believe in a secular Islam, an American Islam, that accepts feminism and gay rights and everything else that conflicts with sharia. Yet here is a Muslim spokesman saying that they don’t, at a conference right in the heart of America. Authorities should think veru carefully about what Dr. Abdur-Rafay says here. But they won’t.

Yet here is a Muslim spokesman saying that they don’t, at a conference right in the heart of America. Authorities should think veru carefully about what Dr. Abdur-Rafay says here. But they won’t.

At Hizb-ut-Tahrir America’s 2018 Khilafa Conference, Dr. Abdur-Rafay said that the West has “launched a new Crusade – a much deadlier attack, with profound consequences, than just physical wounds,” and that “the bloody Crusades to spread Christianity… was now re-energized to infuse secular liberalism upon Muslims.” He accused Western governments and the media of linking any act of violence by a Muslim to extremism coming from a violent political ideology of Islam, and said that this narrative is a means of forcing Muslims to condemn violence, to prove their patriotism, and to adopt Western values. Abdur-Rafay said that this assault seeks to produce a “good Muslim” who believes in a secular, “American” Islam. The conference took place on April 29 in Palos Hills, Illinois.

The following are excerpts:

Dr. Abdur-Rafay: The West realized that they could not defeatthe Muslim nation militarily, so they launched a new Crusade– a much deadlier attack, with profound consequences, than just physical wounds. The aim of this new Crusade was to uproot Islam from the souls of the Muslims, to make it irrelevant in life’s affairs, to reduce it to tedious rituals. This assault predates 9/11, it predates the war on terror. The battle for Muslim hearts and minds has been a project of the West since the 17th century. This assault on the Muslim mind, this assault on the Muslim mind, my brothers and sisters, is an existential threat to the Islamic nation. The bloody Crusades to spread Christianity, as they claim, and to resist the spread of Islam was now re-energized to infuse secular liberalism upon Muslims.

[…]

The Muslim population was molded. They were molded like Play-Doh to have an inferiority complex, and view the West, and its secular ideas, as being superior to Islam and modern. Muslim scholars and intellectuals influenced by the West – they played a key role in forming the secular narrative on Islam….

So a narrative has been established by Western governments and the media that is imposed particularly on the Muslims living in the West and globally. This narrative seeks to link any act of violence by a Muslim as being violent extremism coming from a violent political ideology of Islam. Then the Muslims are forced to condemn. They’re forced to assimilate, to prove their patriotism, to adopt Western values. You gotta like it, and you gotta love it as well. Not just you’re OK with them, you gotta love these values. You need to reform Islam and redefine it so that it is palatable to secular liberalism. The forced conversion of Muslims in colonial America has now become the coerced conversion by secular narratives on Islam. Islamic terminologies like jihad, enjoining the good, forbidding the reprehensible,Sharia, etc. – they’re all being redefined to fit the secular order. Hijab, women’s rights, gender roles, laws on inheritance are all under attack. Moreover, we’re being coerced, we’re being coerced into accepting liberal values, into accepting feminism, and undermining Islamic injunctions on homosexuality and marriage itself. In the post-9/11 era, the battle for Muslim hearts and minds seeks to produce a good Muslim- a good Muslim who believes in a secular Islam and an American Islam.

Muzzies ideas of “manners” are beheadings. Wouldn’t bother me a bit to see all of them get a “haircut”.

Well, if pro-Sharia Muslims would just stay in their home shitholes, I really wouldn't care. But like Californians invading states such as Colorado and Idaho and then changing the states into what they fled, Muslims want to come here and bring their shithole-generating ways with them. When asked to do otherwise, they wail like this idjut about coercion.

You would think the logical solution would be for Islam to see that they have more in common with Christians and unite with us against the secular progressives.

Two entirely different viewpoints of liberal feminism, as an example. In this country, liberal feminism is largely about keeping abortion legal. To Muslims, feminism is about not being allowed to engage in honor killings, allowing women the same legal rights as men and to not treat women as the property of men - something already codified in our Western societies.

Muslim politicians have one goal -— to turn us into a calibrate. If they have to do it with the democrats help, so be it. They will turn on them, just as fast as they have turned on us. But, democrats aren’t fussy when it comes to votes. They’ll take any -— radical, crack pots, dead or alive -— they don’t care. But then, a vote’s a vote for any of us, but at least our platform isn’t vile.

They can go back to the hell hole they came from if they don’t like it here.

“Islam is a Death Cult. It really IS that simple.”

It really is. It is a 1,400 year old murder conspiracy, and should be regarded as such.

There is no legitimate place in civilized society for moslems.
