The Global Islamic Jihad

My brothers! The umma that knows how to die a noble and honorable death is granted an exalted life in this world and eternal felicity in the next. Degradation and dishonor are the results of the love of this world and the fear of death. Therefore prepare for jihad and be the lovers of death. Life itself will come searching after you. [ . . . ] You should yearn for an honorable death and you will gain perfect happiness. May Allah grant myself and you the honor of Martyrdom in His way.1

This clamor is mounting from thousands of madrasas, schools, universities, and mosques; from the mouths of dozens of thousands of predicators and imams; from hundreds of fatwas; from innumerable books, pamphlets, articles, and audio- and videocassettes; and from television shows and small circles and cells. It is a deafening din that crowds out other voices in the Muslim world. Al-Banna’s formulaic expression of a trope could have come from any of the radical-Islamic talking heads of the last half century, and many others who drone and psalmodize on the same theme. The constant repetition of the same stock phrases that prescribe and exalt killing and the veneration of death means that Allah wants blood, needs blood, that blood pleases Allah, whether the blood is that of His martyrs or that of His enemies. Allah demands blood as evidence of worship. In turn, society must be organized according to what Allah demands. A society that needs blood in so fundamental a way is a society whose mind is set on human sacrifice.

The excerpt is from "The Mind of Jihad" by Laurent Murawiec.

This book lays out in pristine detail and with full academic rigor the deadly origins of Islamic Jihad. We must expose this death cult to the light of reason and true moral faith. As Jesus says, those who have an ear let them listen to this and you will fully understand the diabolical nature of the philosophy which undergirds Islamic terrorism and realize how urgent it is we utterly destroy this 7th century mindset of barbarism and brutality!

The end of the excerpt is:

It has set its priorities – death, blood, killing. They are the highest modes of worship – the jihad that powers them is the highest form of worship. They drag along all the other aspects of society. They beg to be extended to other societies. Their demands are absolute because the God from whence they proceed is absolute in its demands. Their diktat thus spreads from the core conception outwards.

Inexorably, the this-worldly “life” is depreciated. The otherworldly “death” is exalted. The ceaseless mantra of the worthlessness of life and the infinite felicity of the afterlife establishes a scale of values.

The ratio set between life and afterlife is the determinant of the scale of values. Any religion must strike a durable balance between the call of the afterlife and the reality of life on earth. Overvaluing the this-worldly undermines faith and its normative feedback. Conversely, undervaluing this world, and overvaluing the afterworld, create a massive disequilibrium: It tilts this life toward the afterlife, and that in passing the gate between them should occur the most important act in this life – its termination.

We shall prevail because Good is stronger than Evil. These Jihadists follow Satan and have no truth or light in them. Trust in Christ and no force can stand against you!

Via population growth on one end, CAIR and public/media pushed policy on the other end.

It’s a great gig. Believe in Death and all the goodness of life and after life are promised to you. What’s not to love?

I think the left believes they can open up huge vaccums of belief, religion, ideas and then deny what the atmosphere pushes in with a vengeance.
