The Sleeping World Is Awakening to the Dangers of Islam

CHRONWATCH.COM ^ | NOVEMBER 27, 2004 | BARBARA STOCK

[CHARLITE]

This past week, I have received many responses from Muslims concerning my two most recent columns: ''Followers of Islam: Can You See the Blood on Your Hands'' and ''Here Comes the Arab/Muslim Outrage.''

In one breath, some the writers would call themselves ''intellectuals'' and then accuse me of being a Jew when I put tough questions to them that they could not answer. They maintained that as an American, I just was not intelligent enough to understand Islam. The mistake these ''intellectuals'' made is believing that I have any intention of ''understanding'' Islam.

It has taken me since 9/11 to realize that civilized humans cannot understand Islam. I am just overjoyed and somewhat relieved that the world is finally waking up in time to see the rabid dog coming its way disguised as Islam.

If Bin Laden has done one good thing in his wretched life, it was to poke a stick in the eye of the world by bringing his radical beliefs forward and urging his followers to commit violent acts. It has taken some time for people to begin taking a look at Muslims in their own areas, but it is happening. The French and the English are beginning to ask themselves, ''When did this happen? When did 6 million Muslims get here and what are they planning to do?''

Approximately 33% of the world is Christian and 20% is Muslim, based on figures for the year 2000. The number of Muslims is growing at an alarming rate. Muslims immigrated to peaceful, mostly Christian countries in Europe where they had large families that were reasonably safe from the ravages of their own strict religious teachings. At least these Muslims were safe until the radical element migrated from the oppressive Middle Eastern countries and began exerting its power over the masses and started menacing the indigenous populations that took Muslims in and welcomed them over the years. The mind-control of the clerics over the average Muslim is frightening and total.

This problem is most notable in the smaller European countries such as the Netherlands and Sweden, where a backlash against Islam is growing because of the strict Islamic laws forbidding mingling with the non-Muslim citizens of a country. In short, Muslims do not fit in. They are not allowed to fit in. The religious leaders lose their total control of the people if those people are allowed to see and experience the freedom that others enjoy. This is why Islam loathes democracy. Democracy steals the power of the Islamic leaders. It gives the people the right to think for themselves and thinking people might start to question their laws. Free people will question the absolute authority and power of the Islamic leaders over every aspect of their lives from birth to often violent death.

These days, it seems that anyone who speaks out against Islam runs the risk of being murdered, as in the case of filmmaker Theo Van Gogh who was shot, stabbed, and then had his throat slit by a radical Muslim in the Netherlands. Van Gogh had made documentaries exposing the brutality directed at women under Islam. Now, mosques and Muslim schools have been burned and the normally peaceful Dutch are considering closing their borders at the very least and perhaps even expelling Muslims from their country. As one Dutch citizen said on a blog, ''This country is a free country but we can’t even speak anymore without wondering if some Muslim will murder us.'' The hate and unrest towards the followers of Islam is growing. It is just a rumble now, but it will get louder as the killing and bombing continues across Europe.

A recent report on Fox News showed the hostility growing between the Swedes and their Muslim population. There are Muslim areas where firefighters and emergency personnel will not enter without a police escort because they will be attacked. Firefighters attempting to put out a fire in a mosque were stoned. The anger between these two forces in Sweden is growing and the most liberal country in Europe is contemplating the same action as the Netherlands. It seems Muslims feel their neighborhoods are not a part of Sweden anymore but theirs, to do with as they see fit. The Swedish government does not see it that way. In those pockets of Islamic rule, poverty is common, unemployment is high, and the clerics foment hate and point fingers of blame on the evil West for Muslims' lot in life.

In France, which has the largest Muslim population in Europe, Islamic clerics openly troll the streets seeking restless young men to indoctrinate and send out to kill for Islam. They weed out the weaklings by having them view videos of the actual torture and beheadings of human beings complete with the screams of pain and all blood and gore of a nightmare. They watch Islamic ''snuff films.'' This is what will be expected of them as ''warriors'' of Allah.

Here in the United States we have a different set of problems. America is just too large for Islam to overpower by reproduction. It has also been impossible to isolate its followers from the American population and American Muslims are far less likely to follow the path of death and destruction. Here, they take a different tact.

Radical Islam is rampant in the prisons, converting the worst of the worst so that when they leave prison they are unleashed on society as pre-programmed, radical Islamic killing machines. On the outside they appear as average Americans which allow them to move about the country unencumbered and overlooked. These killing machines wait for their orders to kill and terrorize, cared for and protected by the radical Islamic element within our own borders.

Muslims live in the past where they had their glory days of conquest and power. They often refer to the Crusades, which ended around 1300, as if they happened last year. I am constantly reminded of Wounded Knee and American slavery. Wounded Knee took place in 1890 and slavery ended in the 1860s.

Muslim writers love to point out the Spanish Inquisition, which was an over-reaction to the conquests of Islam in Spain and was just as much political as religious. The Inquisition officially ended in 1834. What they fail to mention is that it was not only Muslims that were persecuted, but Jews and Protestants as well. Muslims always see themselves as the only victims of injustice in the world. Muslims also fail to mention that the Pope tried to intervene and stop the Inquisition but was unable to exert his power on the political machine.

We Catholics look at this period in our history with shame, not pride. Belief in God or Jesus cannot be forced on someone; it must come from the heart. Forced conversion is not done out of love, but fear. Islam can control one's body, but it cannot control one's thoughts. Converts that are forced will not stay with Islam. They will leave it at the first opportunity.

This is knowledge that has escaped the Islamics. As they condemn the Spanish Inquisition, Islam is doing the same right now in countries such as Sudan. What Muslims are doing in Sudan is far worse than the Spanish Inquisition. Humanitarian groups estimate that since 1983, an estimated 2 million people have died from war and related famine in Sudan at the hands of the Islamic leaders. Anyone refusing to denounce Jesus and accept Islam is executed. Rape is used as a weapon. It seems that all modern-day Islam needs is a coliseum with some lions. Trapped in the past, Muslims call the coalition forces ''crusaders.''

Since the attack on 9/11 here in the United States, the enemy has been exposed. The havens of safety in Afghanistan and Iraq have been taken from the Islamics. In its fury, Islam has made many mistakes. The attacks in Spain and in Bali and murders in the Netherlands and elsewhere have made the world realize that Islam is not just the enemy of America, but the enemy of the entire free world.

Some people were foolishly saying that America deserved to be attacked but when death came to their shores, they were taken aback. They had welcomed Muslims with open arms and this is how they are repaid for their kindness? Some countries are instituting laws that make our Patriot Act pale in comparison. Threatening tapes released by Bin Laden have had the opposite effect.

Instead of cowering, the world is beginning to look Islam in the eye and say, emphatically and collectively: ''NO! This will not be allowed.'' If it was a final crusade that Islam wanted, they have it.

"How many cult leaders of the last one hundred years have claimed to see visions?"

I could ask how many televangelists claim that.

The point is, it's accepted as one of the world's major religions. It is practiced peacefully by most. I don't condemn all members of the religion for the actions of the few.

BTW - the Koran is going to undergo major scrutiny with the release of this work............... http://syrcom.cua.edu/Hugoye/Vol6No1/HV6N1PRPhenixHorn.html

I'm sure it will cause major debates within the religion forever more. Maybe some new sects will be formed?

There is nothing in that book that exhorts people living since 500 BC to kill and slaughter. The Koran has a number of such commands that point to the present and future untill all the world is Islamic or dead, or at least dhimmi. The apparent nastiness in the Bible pointed to by critics was time, place, and enemy specific and was not extended to any other peoples that have lived since. The Crusades were not religious wars to convert anyone but were defensive actions to keep the Holy land open to pilgrims. There is no comparison between Islam and religion.

[broadsword]

That is why I condemn ISLAM for the bad things that Muslims do. Any effort to humanize Islam is a waste of time. The obstacle to any reform is Quran. The enemy is Islam...

That is the ABSOLUTE TRUTH.

Keep up the good work, my friend.

Another great post.

KABLAM!!!!!

There is nothing like plain truth to shoot down the Islamodefenders' lies.

[dennisw]

Right clown. Next you'll be trying to sell the Islamic fairy tale that Muhammad only fought defensive wars.

[dennisw]

In what way have you been trying to emulate the life of Muhammad? And what part of Muhammad's life are you going to cherry pick to copy? What part of Mohammed's life are you going to pretend does not exist?

[nuconvert]

You miss the point. This isn't a Bible vs Koran discussion. You will have to find another thread for that.
You may not like the Koran and that Islam is an accepted religion, but it is. The majority of people practicing it, do so peaceably. That's all.

[nuconvert]

First, since you haven't read my responses....I am not muslim. Therefore, I am not trying to emulate or even defend Mohammed. You've gone off on your own tangent.
I am defending people's rights to practice their religion, and informing the uninformed that not all muslims are terrorists, and therefore labelling all muslims as such and calling for their collective deaths is not only ignorant but bigoted.

When people stoop to childish name-calling (as you have), I end the discussion with that person.

Oh please don't do that. Please please please please with sugar and strawberries on top.

"We need to stop beating around the bush about how dangerous radical Islam is..."

We need to stop Bush beating aroung the bush re Islam. Radical Islam is the enemy, and it is often nearly impossible in this country to know whether a moslem is a radical. I think we have to treat them all with suspicion.

Thanks for that link, dennis.

Dennis, Broadsword, Nuconvert
I know you guys have probably all read Warraq and Amer Taheri, but just in case you (or others) haven't read these two quotes, I'll repost it here:

"Muslims do not need patronizing liberals to meet them halfway; Muslims need to write an honest biography of the prophet that does not shun the truth, least of all cover it up with the dishonest subterfuge of condescending western scholars" -Ibn Warraq Author of; "Why I Am Not A Muslim", "Studies on Muhammed", and the "Rise of Islam".

"Muslims can build a democratic society provided they treat Islam as a matter of personal, private belief and not as a political ideology that seeks to monopolize the pubic space and regulate every aspect of individual and community life." - Amir Taheri

Nuconvert,
Thanks for the replies...I think we are probably in agreement on this issue:
We both don't care what anyone else does in who or what they worship, propvided they are peaceful, and leave other people alone. I think that is the frustration many people here have, and that is that many Muslims don't know how to leave non-muslims alone, and they infringe on other folks freedoms and security.

Again as Warraq said:
"Muslims need to write an honest biography of the prophet that does not shun the truth, least of all cover it up with the dishonest subterfuge of condescending western scholars"

Once that happens, I think we will begin to get a handle on the radical sects of Islam...or better yet, non-violent Muslims will begin to handle the radical sects for us. As of yet, they have not.

>"If you don't know, I closely follow DcotorZIn's Daily Iranian Alert Thread."<

Yes, I have seen your posts there.
Thanks for the conversation, and I'll probably catch you on DoctorZins thread sometime.

thanx!!

Again as Warraq said:
"Muslims need to write an honest biography of the prophet" .........

Any Mohammedan who does that is dead meat.

I compare the Islamo fascists to a tree bearing bad fruit. It has a Biblical message to it: "Likewise every good tree bears good fruit, but a bad tree bears bad fruit. A good tree cannot bear bad fruit and a bad tree cannot bear good fruit. Every tree that does not bear good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire (Mathew 7:17-19. Islam has so far shown itself incapable of eliminating the pestilence that has caused its tree to bear blighted fruit. They do need to eliminate the pestilence that is causing the Islamic tree to bear blighted fruit. They need to do it now or the world will begin chopping and burning the trees like we do with maple blight. They don't have much time either. The world is not patient with these primitives who bear the blighted fruit.
