Jihad Murderer Tells Jury He’s a ‘Moderate Muslim’-Islam is Islam.

The murderer of British MP Sir David Amess, Ali Harbi Ali, who’s been described as “0an academic high-flyer” in a headline of the sleazy rag, the Guardian, told the jury in his trial that he was a “moderate Muslim.” This is just the latest reminder that we never really can know which Muslims are going to go jihad before it’s too late. Some Muslims have no history of violence, and then all of a sudden they commit the most heinous acts imaginable. And after these atrocities, Muslims-turned-jihadists can claim that what they did was not only moral, but religiously righteous. And they can even claim that they’re “moderate.”

It’s Muslim Roulette. Even the most “moderate” and “peaceful” Muslims can, out of the blue, commit the most obscene acts of violence, but with no prior warning signs. These Muslims may not act outwardly any different than they have before, but internally, they began to take Islam seriously. And the more serious a Muslim takes Islam, the more potentially dangerous he or she is. Here’s what I mean by Muslim Roulette:

A is A. Islam is Islam. There is no such thing as “Good” Islam or “Bad” Islam. Islam is a totalitarian religion, while Muslims are individual human beings who may or may not practice Islam faithfully. There are active Muslims and passive Muslims, the faithful and the unfaithful, the submitted and the un-submitted in Islam, but there is no obvious way to tell the difference between them, which has its benefits for Muslims who are committed to spreading Islam by any means necessary. Mohammad said “War is deceit” and practiced this, and Muslims have followed their leader in using deception against non-Muslims from the first days of Islam to today. When Islam, the very antithesis of peace, is sold to us by Muslims and their useful idiots as being the very definition of peace, and actually gains traction, that would have made Goebbels blush.

That Islam must be misrepresented by Muslims in order to appear at all appealing to non-Muslims speaks volumes, and its purpose is to make Islam appear harmless until it’s too late. And the Islamic enemy’s major weapon against us is us. From our multiculturalism, which our unicultural enemy exploits, to our crippling political correctness which “protects” us from the truth we need to know and act upon, to our irrational tolerance of the intolerant. The more intolerant they are, the more tolerant we are.

Another weapon that the Islamic enemy uses against us is our desire to believe that “Islam means peace,” no matter what it actually means, no matter what it demands from Muslims, and no matter what Islam’s “perfect model,” Mohammad, leads Islam’s true believers to do.

And then there are those who are moderately Islamic, but who advertise themselves as “Moderate Muslims,” who have hijacked the normatively immoderate Islam, not by admitting and thoroughly repudiating the inherent violence within Islam, but by merely mouthing the words, “Islam means peace,” and again, allowing our desire to believe it to do the rest.

The widespread usage of the term “Moderate Muslim” is a tacit confession of Islam’s immoderate nature. When’s the last time any of you have heard the terms “Moderate Christians,” “Moderate Jews,” “Moderate Hindus,” “Moderate Buddhists”?

And while Muslims are individuals who may or may not be following Islam, most Muslims have shown us that when it comes down to it, the majority of them will side with Islam against the non-Muslim world. They’ve made it clear, in their indifferent silence and inaction in the face of the daily horrors committed by their devout coreligionists, that in the end, they don’t give a damn about anything except Islam and its reputation. I can’t count the number of times that so-called “moderate Muslims,” from teachers to engineers to average, everyday Muslims, have threatened me with the most obscene death threats and rape threats. Many of them won’t act on these threats, but they sure as hell wouldn’t mind, and would even celebrate, if jihadists did act on their threats.

Also, I’ve read one too many accounts of Muslims whose first response to particularly horrific Islamic atrocities was to run to the rescue of Islam, the ideological source of the atrocities. The price we’re paying for denying the truth about what we’re facing is too high. The result of this mass evasion is that the truth about Islam, and any number of truths that we need to expose, is relegated to the underground.

I used to think that it will simply take more death and destruction for the civilized world to accept the truth about Islam before we’re ready to act on our behalf against it, but now I think that those who need even more death and destruction than we already get, with hundreds of people slaughtered weekly in the name of Islam, can’t be reached through reason, or even through being shaken to their core.

Some people, far too many people, can simply live with the mass deaths of others. That’s a damning thing to conclude, but it’s true.

That’s why I objected to my wife’s choice of a Moslem doctorps who is an upstanding member of the community but one never knows when he might realize that he is not performing the necessary things of his religion or the local imam chides him for being a wishy washy Moslem who will not go to Paradise because of his tainting by Infidel society.

My childhood was in İstanbul in the fifties. Turks then, at least the urban middle class, appeared to love Americans and I think they genuinely did. My sister and I when very young could go anywhere and if appearing lost would be picked up by a taxi or an army jeep either of whom would call the consulate and we would get a ride home, probably with a pastry or candy. Türkiye was kind of an exception to the Moslem rule, a secular state. That did not last. the army and the judiciary were the last holdouts of Atatürk's legacy. Erdogan gradually purged both and returned Türkiye to orthodox Islam. The shrinking middle class is still pro American but has no influence now.

The Armenıan genocıde ıs instructıve. Best friends and neighbors shared planting, harvesting and sheep shearing and celebrated together. Then came the orders from the capital repeated by the imams and hodjas to the Moslems- when the horn sounded at dawn they were to slaughter their best friends and neighbors and they did. When it blew again o signal the end of the "work"day at dusk they rushed to bind the wounds and succor the Christian survivors who had been their neighbors for generations. It happened on many days and when the Armenians tried to leave they faced the army who took them in hand to "expel" them by marching them across the arid parts of Anatolia to the Armenian border. Most of them died and were left where they died on the way.

This is the first person in this century who seems to have gotten it right and written it for publication. One should read a young Churchill's paragraph about Moslem's in The River War. to wit:

“How dreadful are the curses which Mohammedanism lays on its votaries! Besides the fanatical frenzy, which is as dangerous in a man as hydrophobia in a dog, there is this fearful fatalistic apathy. The effects are apparent in many countries. Improvident habits, slovenly systems of agriculture, sluggish methods of commerce, and insecurity of property exist wherever the followers of the Prophet rule or live. A degraded sensualism deprives this life of its grace and refinement; the next of its dignity and sanctity. The fact that in Mohammedan law every woman must belong to some man as his absolute property – either as a child, a wife, or a concubine – must delay the final extinction of slavery until the faith of Islam has ceased to be a great power among men. Thousands become the brave and loyal soldiers of the faith: all know how to die but the influence of the religion paralyses the social development of those who follow it. No stronger retrograde force exists in the world. Far from being moribund, Mohammedanism is a militant and proselytizing faith. It has already spread throughout Central Africa, raising fearless warriors at every step; and were it not that Christianity is sheltered in the strong arms of science, the science against which it had vainly struggled, the civilisation of modern Europe might fall, as fell the civilisation of ancient Rome.” ― Winston Churchill, The River War

Don't look at me. I'm a heathen. The only thing keeping me from defending myself, and incidentally everyone else around me, from Moderate Muslims^TM is your laws.

My ancestors were used to scare Muslim children to sleep for hundreds of years. "Be good or Allah will allow the Northmen to come for you..."

The Classic solutions still work.

In Malaysia and Indonesia. Islam is a thorn in Burma’s ribs and Thailand’s foot. When one of these two reacts to Moslem destruction of Buddhist villages or murders of officials and monks they incur the wrath of Western elites and media. Việt Nam does not allow Moslems into the country except as carefully monitored businessmen and diplomats lest they affect VN’s own tiny indigenous Moslem population which is syncretic with local paganism as Indonesia’s Islam was until the Wahhabis and the Brotherhood moved in and took over all the mosques.

Jihad terror is inherent in Islam.

Hadith Volume 4, Book 53, Number 352

Allah’s Apostle said, “Allah guarantees him who strives in His Cause and whose motivation for going out is nothing but Jihad in His Cause and belief in His Word, that He will admit him into Paradise (if martyred) or bring him back to his dwelling place, whence he has come out, with what he gains of reward and booty.”

The only GUARANTEED way into Heaven, is to die in Jihad.

If a Muslim is depressed, and wants to die, suicide is a sin. But “martyrdom” gets him into heaven.
