Here’s a new slogan for the zeitgeist: stay quiet and you’ll be OK. This was the message, according to the tapes released last week, that Muhammad Atta gave to the passengers on the ill-fated airplane that he and his fellow terrorists had commandeered.
Stay quiet and you’ll be OK. Don’t mention that a Saudi imam who spoke at the opening of a large new Islamic center in London once preached a sermon in which he called Jews “evil offspring, infidels, distorters of [others’] words, calf-worshippers, prophet-murderers, prophecy-deniers... the scum of the human race ‘whom Allah cursed and turned into apes and pigs,” and “an ongoing continuum of deceit, obstinacy, licentiousness, evil, and corruption.” AP noted that in
London he said that Islam’s history was “the best testament to how different communities can live together in peace and harmony.” The BBC called him “one of Islam’s most renowned Imams” and reported his praise for British Muslims for having “taken great steps towards achieving community cohesion.” Neither said anything about his hate speech.Stay quiet and you’ll be OK. Have you heard about the churches destroyed in Kosovo? “To keep the Serbs from claiming this area as part of their national heritage,” says Mikhael de Thyse of the Council of Europe, “some Albanians are attacking their churches.” In March, the cathedrals in Pristina and Prizren, Kosovo’s two main cities, were burned to the ground. Others that have been destroyed include the Holy Archangels Monastery, a charming and, of course, irreplaceable jewel dating from the fourteenth century. The local bishop has had harsh words for NATO peacekeepers, who he says have done little or nothing to protect the churches. But the media establishment has kept mum. Jihad in Kosovo? Come on. Everyone knows the Balkan Muslims are the victims, not the perpetrators!
Stay quiet and you’ll be OK. UN Secretary General Kofi Annan went to Harvard to give the commencement speech and receive an honorary degree. The intrepid Charles Jacobs of the American Anti-Slavery Group was ready for him, saying at a rally the day before: “Kofi Annan does not need to come to Harvard tomorrow, he needs to go to Sudan. … He needs to go to the North, and he needs to tell Khartoum to free the slaves. There are tens of thousands of slaves like Francis Bok, still serving their masters in Sudan. Kofi Annan needs to tell the truth: For a decade Khartoum wages ... what they call a Jihad against Christians and tribalists in the South. Kofi Annan never once said that the war was a Jihad. It’s not diplomatic to say...but it’s the truth. Two million people died because of this war. Tens of thousands were enslaved. Arab militias storm African villages, kill the men and capture the women and children like Francis Bok. Kofi Annan needs to tell the world about Jihad slaves. It’s not diplomatic...but it’s the truth.”
Stay quiet and you’ll be OK. In Saudi Arabia, a young Indian Catholic, Brian Savio O’Connor, has been imprisoned and tortured by the religious police, the mutawa. Says L’Osservatore Romano: “Officially the Mutawa has accused O’Connor of using drugs and praying to Jesus Christ, accusations which imply he runs the risk of being punished with the death penalty. The family says that the proofs of his use of drugs have been fabricated by the police, while it does not deny that Brian is a good Christian.” Where is the outcry? Why haven’t you read about Brian O’Connor in the New York Times? Why hasn’t 60 Minutes gone to Riyadh to put a Saudi official or two on the hotseat?
As Ralph Peters has had the courage to declare, “It’s time to end the politically correct baby-talk insisting that Islam isn’t the problem. In the decaying Arab world, Islam is the problem — because of the way bitter old men interpret and deform its more humane precepts while embracing its cruelest injunctions.” It’s time to end the baby talk, and the silence. For whatever combination of political correctness, fear, and indifference has made for the silence on these stories and others like them, it does nothing but play into the hands of those who would destroy us.
Stay quiet, and the jihad will continue to advance: in Iraq, and Afghanistan, and Israel, and Indonesia, and Nigeria, and the Philippines, and Western Europe, and elsewhere — and if you think we will not feel its impact here, just remember where Atta was when he said those words, and what happened next.
Robert Spencer is the director of Jihad Watch and the author of Onward Muslim Soldiers: How Jihad Still Threatens America and the West (Regnery Publishing), and Islam Unveiled: Disturbing Questions About the World’s Fastest Growing Faith (Encounter Books).
I have learned this much in life: never, ever, EVER, cooperate with an opponent.
Oh, yeah. "Stay quiet so the Religion of Peace can help you to rest in peace."
When Islam takes the last city you will be given the choice of a prayer rug or a coffin. Man, it's about time human civilization wakes up and gets as serious about its survival as the seventh century savages are about our annihilation!
You got that right.
Part of the old knights' code of chivilry stated, "I will never cower before the enemy."
These same instructions were given to the American captives by the Japs...right before they beheaded them...according to the small numbers of witnesses that survived...
Stop the pandering to Islam as The Religion Of Peace. TM Its more like the murderous Thuggee cult in India.
This sounds like the Democrat Party montra. Stay quiet, ie: suck up to the Euro-weenies, don't make waves, and the terrorists, that America made to commit these dispicable acts against humanity, will go away.
Can't we all just get along?
When the unspeakable happens, whatever monstrous horror Muslims inflict on us, and America decides to call a spade a spade, we'll probably be down a few hundred thousand citizens and have suffered the loss of Detroit or Chicago or San Francisco. Never mind, Kerry and the UN will fix everything.
my thoughts exactly!
will it take war in the backyards, on the streets of america,to wake the lion.
No, and it's about time we understand we can't get along with our countrymen that think we can.
British Ahmadi Muslims are to unveil a new architectural landmark near London with capacity for 10,000 worshippers. Adorned with a 15.5 metre dome, the mosque is located on a five-acre site at Morden, Surrey. Hadhrat Mirza Masroor Ahmad, the new Worldwide Supreme Head of the Community, will inaugurate the mosque with Friday prayers. The inauguration ceremony will symbolise how Ahmadi Muslims, now spanning to 80 community centres and branches all across the UK, have peacefully coexisted and integrated in Britain for nearly a century.
Mosque leaders said: "This uniquely British Muslim centre will bolster London's reputation as a vibrant and diverse international city."
It remains to be seen how peacefull they will be........
BUMP
About a year or so ago, I was watching Sesame Street with my daughter, and KOFI ANNAN was on there doing the ABC's for the children! I was thinking he surely must have some better things to be doing, and someone else could be doing the ABC's !!!
Kosovo may turn out to be the stupidest thing Clinton did. Or at least one of the stupidest. Always on the wrong side of history.
That's all there is to it. Islam is hellbent on world subjugation to its satanic, moon and meteorite worshiping death cult.
I've been thinking the same thing. The Muslims are at war with Christians, Jews, Hindus, Buddhists, pagans and even godless Chi-Coms. They are sitting up and begging for the world to war against them.
Thanks for posting the article. I start every day with coffee and http://www.jihadwatch.org/
Both Jihadwatch & Dhimmiwatch (on the same site) keep me up to date with the activities of the 'religion of peace' around the world. Robert Spencer doesn't waste words and doesn't miss much, either. May I recommend a daily diet of
Jihadwatch to anyone who doesn't already partake.
/sarcasm.
Are you trying to say we have entered into a world wide religious war?
Muslims against Christians?
. Thank God that your eyes are open to the truth!
good one here!
