The Islamic vacuum
Barbara J. Stock December 8, 2004
I receive the most amazing e-mail messages from all over the world. Some of these messages are angry, most are supportive, and some are from Muslims who feel they are on a mission from Allah to show me the error of my ways. Many from other countries show a woeful lack of knowledge of Americans and what is really happening in the world. One very nice Muslim man said, "Look at me, I am peaceful." Well, that's one.
Over and over again I am reminded that Islam is only peaceful. The well documented genocide at the hands of the Islamic government in Sudan is just simply not true, most Muslim writers say. The post-script is usually something like, "but look what the Christians are doing in Sudan!" Trying to survive comes to mind. So does starving to death at the hands of yet another failed Islamic government. Many Muslims that write to me have no knowledge of any of the mass death in Sudan and if they do know about it, they have been told it is the Christians who are committing the murders.
Another nice man insisted there are no angry words in the Quran. When I sent him hundreds of lines such as, "Have no unbelieving friends. Kill the unbelievers wherever you find them," there was just silence. He just simply ignored it and tried a different route. Those doing the killing aren't real Muslims.
When I asked him who all these "fake" Muslims were that were killing in the name of Allah he just said it was for Allah to judge. I'm sure Allah will judge them but in the meantime we Americans were going to defend ourselves and kill all terrorists, real or fake, before they kill us.
Amazingly, I was told by a very polite and seemingly knowledgeable Muslim man that we Americans are fighting the wrong enemy. Everyone but we Americans know that it was the Jews that attacked America on 9/11. There were no Muslims on those planes. Muslims just don't do such things. It was a Zionist conspiracy that blamed peaceful Muslims for the attack on America and the attack was planned and carried out by Jewish plotters to have the most powerful country in the world destroy Islam for Israel.
When I pointed out that Osama Bin Laden had admitted to the attack and clearly stated he planned more destructive attacks on America, the response was mind-boggling. It seems there are Muslims out there in the world who believe that bin Laden is fictional. That's right, Bin Laden doesn't exist. He is just part of the elaborate Jewish plot. This explains why we have not caught him. The most frightening thing is that this educated man truly believes what he says.
Of course, this same man said Christians are not harassed in Saudi Arabia, the United States created the Taliban, and it is Muslims that are tormented around the world, sighting the fact that France will not allow Muslim girls to keep their heads covered in school. The fact that the Saudi "religious police" let Muslim girls burn to death behind a locked gate because their heads were not covered was not addressed. This was simply a lie on my part because, as he was inclined to say often, "Muslims don't do such things." There sure are a lot of "fake" Muslims out there in high and powerful positions.
Fortunately, the tooth fairy and the Easter Bunny never came up. If they had, I have no doubt this man would have told me they are both Jewish plots to corrupt the minds of American children.
There is a saying: "Absolute power corrupts absolutely." When the religious leaders have total control over every element of a person's life, that power corrupts those leaders, absolutely. This is why in America, our founding fathers split up the power between three equal but separate branches of government. They also said, without hesitation, that while we are founded on Christian-Judeo philosophy, there shall never be a State run or controlled religion inflicted on the people.
Many in Europe and Islam seem to feel President Bush will be — or already is — a "dictator." They compare him to Hitler. This shows how ignorant they are of how our system works. An American dictator, with total control over the country and its people simply isn't possible. Our military would not follow his commands. Every man and woman in any branch of the service takes an oath. That oath is to protect and defend the Constitution from all enemies, foreign and domestic, not the president. A rogue president with visions of dictator-hood would become a domestic enemy. I should also add that any American Muslims who decide they should be in charge would meet the same fate. As a footnote — or perhaps a warning — we Americans are heavily armed and our founders, in their infinite wisdom, planned that as well.
It is becoming more obvious every day that even educated Muslims living in countries that are totally under Muslim rule or where Muslims are not allowed to integrate themselves with the general population, live in a vacuum. The only information allowed into that vacuum is what the Islamic leaders want them to hear. What they hear is that the West is evil incarnate and is on a mission to destroy all of Islam. If these unfortunates hear of a bombing in Iraq that has taken the lives of 25 Iraqi Muslims, they are told it was done by the Jews to make Muslims look bad. Beheadings? Lies, all of them are lies and the videos were put out by Jewish Hollywood. Those that wrote to me absolutely believe this.
Virtually everything these people hear and see has been twisted in such a fashion that it is no wonder they hate the West and obsess over the Jews. What seems to be impossible to make these completely miss-informed Muslims understand is that they are being used and abused by those whose only desire is absolute power. For many, they are subjected to hours of hate-filled, incoherent preaching every Friday from their Mosque.
Most Muslims have been taught from birth to believe every word from their Imam's mouth as if was coming from the very mouth of Allah. If they are told that the Jew is evil, they believe it. If they are told Americans are taking over the entire Middle East and plan to kill all Muslims, they will believe it. Why else would a mother kiss her beloved son goodbye and then praise him as a martyr when he blows himself up? The more "infidels" he kills the higher the family's stature within the community. This is insanity!
As Americans we must defend ourselves against those preaching this insanity. Muslims who know the truth need to protect their own from the same insanity or more Muslim children will be sent out to die for nothing. These children aren't dying for Islam; they are dying for leaders obsessed with having that absolute power while they hide in their Mosques preaching lies and hate.

Ping!
Wow. Very scary.
Without reform, this 10-40 problem is going to get bigger and bigger.
total control over entire state apparatus, which is true in virtually all muslim ruled countries, can have devastating effects indeed (note: it does not justify any deed), see Germany 1933-1945, the Germans had a decade of lies and propaganda spewed at them without a single dissenting voice, no wonder they fought so fanatically they thought the evil imperialists and communist hordes were going to kill them all. The people living in islamic countries have been subjected to this sort of structural propaganda for over 2 generations, and while it does not excuse murder, genocide or anything, one can hardly blame their ignorance, they are simply not allowed to view/hear dissenting material.
Among Lucifer's most effective tools are obfuscation and obscurantism. He uses deceit to hide the truth from infidels and he uses it to hide the truth from Muslims. Great confusion all round.
The mystery is, why all Christians and Jews don't recognize that Allah is Lucifer.
Consider all the personality characteristics and traits they share. They are either the same or they are twins.
.
No excuses for Islam believers---they are the cult/religion for the eternally naive and for the willingly stupid.
..."...Over and over again I am reminded that Islam is only peaceful."...
This simple refusal to accept the true nature of things, more than anything else, dooms Islam to extinction.
".... Allah is Lucifer. ... Consider all the personality characteristics and traits they share. They are either the same or they are twins."
I've wondered the same thing for a long time. After all, St. Paul warned that Satan can masquerade as an angel of light to deceive people.

If Lucifer existed, he would be Allah. But Lucifer does not exist. And neither does Allah.
The supreme deity is I Do Not Know, a/k/a I Am Who Am.
Mohammed was the evil one, an evil man the same as millions of other evil men. And because of so many weak or corrupted minds, he has been vastly successful.
Jesus was the anti-Mohammed. Jesus more than any other, taught and reflected the beauty of life, such as the beauty is. Mohammed cleverly exploited the ugliness of life.
But both were men. In his humanity, Jesus saw and understood the Mohammeds among men. He warned us to be unlike Mohammed, specifically warning against the false adherence to bogus religiosity which is the very heart of Islam, and which is consorting with evil if not the embrace of evil.
The weapon against the evil of Islam and the evil man called Mohammed, is not the invocation of your own religious belief.
It is the application of the human mind to it's natural understanding of what is best in all of us.
The weapon against the evil of Islam and the evil man called Mohammed, is not the invocation of your own religious belief.
But you are doing the same...you inject your religious belief (or in your case, non-belief)...what's the diff...yours and mine are both our respective religious beliefs.
Apply yours and give me your suggestion...I have many friends you don't necessarily agree with me and they are still my friends.
You believe in the existence of Satan, whom you identify with Allah. I believe if Satan existed, and Allah existed, then you would be absolutely right. Satan is the Old Deceiver, the obscurantist and obfuscationist, and so is Allah.
But I believe that Satan no more exists than does Allah. It makes perfect sense to me that you would say that Allah and Satan are one and the same. If one existed, the other would just be another name for him.
There is zero evidence that either exists, and in fact such evidence as there is refutes their existence.
What cannot be refuted, I believe, is the existence of evil and evil men. Evil is on the baseline of human contemplation. We all have the potential for evil, and to some degree or another we have all given into it.
Some men give themselves over to evil, meaning give themselves over to themselves totally. Some men are geniuses at evil. That would be Mohammed. He gave himself over to some naturally occurring condition in his mind.
Good men resist giving themselves over to evil, and understand that doing so means going outside of yourself while remaining yourself. You are who you are, one of many, but you.
Human minds are easily inflamed and distorted, in proportion to their lack of integrity. The objective adherence to principle is the difficult armor against evil.
The diff is this: I believe the Golden Rule is a naturally occurring part of men. Evil is deliberatly ignoring the Golden Rule.
The very premise of Islam is to deliberately ignore the Golden Rule.
Some men are geniuses at evil.
And some genius can become evil or work for good. I was once slipping into evil. And I was good at it. But somehow I was rescued.
If you think the golden rule is in the nature of man...you might not be as atheistic as you think you are.
I do not try to convert, but I will help when called upon.
Those are words I use...you are not being honest.
If would like to talk but you would expect me to be honest...unless you think I am a Muslim.
Speak the truth and we can speak...otherwise, no.
We are not so far apart, true, altho I wonder how far apart anyone is from anyone else.
Where we are apart is here: altho we both believe the Golden Rule to be the essential aspect of man's life and man's thinking, I really do not have the faintest idea how or why that should be so. To me, it would be immodest to think I had the faintest idea.
The Golden Rule is at once the principle of love, justice, moderation, liberty and prudence.
Islam is none of those things. Besides the factual phoniness of Islam, its central idea of total submission to God is repellant and evil. No man who is a man could ever give up his conscience. That is not a moral statement ... it is a factual statement.
Islam calls upon men to be other than men ... to give up the Golden Rule and censor yourself totally.
Satan has nothing to do with this. Each man must look to himself and see what is actually there, and decide whether he will follow or not.
