What Would Decent, Civilized Humans Do?

Over the years, I have learned to judge people by their actions. And not just current behaviors, but past behaviors, especially if such past behaviors never change. I have often been accused of unfairly judging the majority of Muslims in a harsh light, in particular, the Arabs occupying Jewish Palestine. In truth, I do not judge them; I merely point out their unswerving behaviors regarding Jews, Christians and Israel. This latest genocide/homicide bombing in Tel Aviv is yet another example of the wholly self-occupied, self-centered behaviors of the Islamist world.

For many years, I awaited the Arab/Muslim world to condemn attacks on Jews as being reprehensible because it constituted murder, as well as genocide. It meant the ripping apart of families and loved ones. It meant the ultimate evil of cutting short the lives of individuals and targeting an entire group of people for genocide.

During those years, I did not go after the Arab/Muslim world. Instead, I often wrote about atrocities committed upon Muslims. This is because I am a true liberal, unlike today's pseudo-liberals who pick and choose which victims to support, and which victims to further victimize by blaming them for their victimization. I believe with all my soul that anyone who is singled out for murder, genocide, oppression or ethnic cleansing (even by their own governments) must be defended. And I distinguish between rightful defense to preserve life and illegitimate territorial conquest for political and/or religious goals.

While I waited, I wrote about or participated in actions designed to help the Muslims of the Balkans who were being ethnically cleansed, raped and murdered. I wrote about the plight of Muslim women living in Afghanistan under the rule of the Taliban. I even did some volunteer work for these and other causes in defense of Muslims. And all the while, I waited. I waited for the Arab/Muslim world to do something, anything, that would show they had a shred of humanity or decency regarding Jews in general and Israel in particular. But nothing was forthcoming.

Even during the first year of the intifada I waited. But 9-11 was a watershed moment. After the first few weeks of condolences and offers of aid, the Arab/Muslim world began to vociferously blame the Jews, saying we were all warned beforehand and that the Israelis orchestrated the attacks.

Well, no one called me to warn me away. I was supposed to be in the Twin Towers that fateful morning. I was supposed to be in the second tower struck, on one of the floors that was directly hit. It was sheer luck (although I certainly didn't think so at the time) that I had had a freak accident the night before that prevented me from being able to walk more than a few steps until I healed a bit. So I stayed home that day.

Although I couldn't walk more than a few steps, I could drive. And I was living two towns away from Paterson, New Jersey, home to a large Palestinian contingent. I forget now how I found out, but I heard that the Palestinians of Paterson were dancing in the streets at the tragedy of 3,000-plus dead Americans. It was such an unthinkable thing that I couldn't believe it. So, I drove over and witnessed this barbaric, nay, demonic, celebration of murder, reminiscent of frenzied pagan blood sacrifices.

So here we are today, on the verge of supposed peace, and nothing has changed. Unfortunately, our leaders choose to ignore clear signals, in the form of behaviors, which indicate not only that there will be no true peace, but that the Arab/Muslim side of the 'peace partnership' is nothing more than a thinly veiled deception for gullible Westerners.

A few examples of decent, civilized human reactions to tragedies were the Jewish and Christian outreach to the mostly Muslim victims of the recent tsunami. Another is Israel's offer of medical and search and rescue aid to its sworn enemy, Iran, after a devastating earthquake. Another were the American Christian groups that helped the Muslim victims of Christians in the Balkans.

Every time there is a human tragedy, and especially if such tragedy is a willful act done in the name of their own religions, Christians and Jews help the victims. They denounce the act as a crime against humanity and give overwhelming aid.

Here is what the Arab/Muslim world has had to say about the Tel Aviv bombing of the other day. Often, it is part of the Muslim deception of Al-Takeyya(1) not to lie outright, but to omit things. In this case, they are deceiving us into thinking they feel badly about this atrocity, but note what they do not say. I was not able to find a single quote offering condolences for the victims. Nor did I see any offers of aid or assistance for the victims or their families.

Instead, all I saw was totally self-centered, self-involved concern about how the bombing would affect them. Not even a mention that such mass murder is wrong because of the victims. Not a mention of victims, in fact, other than the potential Arab/Muslim victims of the consequences of this act:

"We will not allow anyone to sabotage our national goals, aspirations and ambitions," Abbas said Saturday in the West Bank town of Ramallah.(2)

"If Hizbullah was behind this attack, I as a Palestinian tell them, 'Deal with your own problems and stay out of ours,'" said Akram Abu Sbaa, 38, of Jenin.(3)

"Another Jenin resident, Bashar Jalloudi, 40, said Hizbullah's alleged involvement in the Tel Aviv bombing would only hurt Palestinian interests at a time of relative calm."(4)

"We think that the Israeli defence minister's comments show that he knows the identity of the real perpetrator and that he is to be found inside Israel," he said. "Israel is known around the world for sabotaging any peace process," the official added.(5)

I looked at the online English websites of Kuwait Times, the Middle East Times, Jordan Times, the Islamic Republic News Agency (Iran) and the Egyptian Gazette - not even a mention of the horrific murders in Tel Aviv. This is the Islamist, Hadith-sanctioned Al-Takeyya at its most insidious: omission of facts and critical information, meant to skew an individual's view of reality.

And certainly no condemnations of the murder of Jews because they are Jews living their normal lives in their rightful and legal homeland.

Over the past few years, it has only been the rare Muslim who has condemned these bestial, demonic acts of serial mass murder in the name of Allah and 'Arab unity.'(6) And the excuse for the general silence is that people are afraid. This same excuse was used time and again at the Nuremberg trials and didn't wash. And quite frankly, if someone has true faith in Allah, they should certainly not be afraid to do and say what is the whole truth and what is right.

So, are the newly-heralded Arabs who claim to want peace really decent, civilized human beings, or selfish bi-pedal carbon-based creatures who have not one shred of sympathy, empathy or humanity for any victims of atrocities committed by their own people? And can there ever be trust, let alone peace with them in their current state? You be the judge.

1) "Islam in general, forbids lying. The Quran says, 'Truly Allah guides not one who transgresses and lies.' Surah 40:28. However, within Islam there are certain provisions under which lying is not simply tolerated, but actually encouraged. According to Muhammad, 'He is not a false person who (through lies) settles conciliation among people, supports good or says what is good.'" -- Abdullah Al-Araby

Here, the author is only referring to lying for "good" reasons. Therefore, you must ask yourself, "What is 'good' to these Islamists?"

According to radical Islam, anything that promotes the spreading of Islamic conquest is good. This also means that anything that weakens the non-Islamist is also good. Therefore, any lie, omission of fact or half-truth that fools the non-Islamist is "good".

6) ''The Palestinian people does not exist. The creation of a Palestinian state is only a means for continuing our struggle against the state of Israel for our Arab unity. In reality, today, there is no difference between Jordanians, Palestinians, Syrians and Lebanese. Only for political and tactical reasons do we speak, today, about the existence of a Palestinian people, since Arab national interests demand that we posit the existence of a distinct Palestinian people to oppose Zionism." -- PLO executive committee member Zahir Muhsein (in the Amsterdam-based newspaper Dagblad de Verdieping Trouw,' March 31, 1977)

"Islam in general, forbids lying. The Quran says, 'Truly Allah guides not one who transgresses and lies.' Surah 40:28.

The Qu'ran condemns lying to fellow Muslims

The Qu'ran says to be charitible and merciful to fellow Muslims

Infidels are not covered by the "good" parts

Yesterday I wrote the President asking him to do what he could to be sure the Iraqi Constitution included Freedom of Religion AND to work towards allowing other faiths into Iraq to build hospitals, schools, orphanages, etc. I also mentioned the inalienable right to change one's religion if one so desires without fear of reprisal.

Without Religious Freedom in Iraq, Democracy will not survive.

A rational person would set about to destroy as many of the Islamanazis as possible --- and to bleed them white until they offer UNCONDITIONAL SURRENDER....

Why should the world deal with this self professed enemy of civilization any differently than we dealt with the Nazis or the Japanese?

Semper Fi

Oh I know. My freshman year in history, we watched a movie all about Islam. The funniest part was when the documentary guy said that Muslims are most tolerant - of other Muslims. It didnt matter what skin color they were, they were a very tolerant people - as long as they were Muslim. I was stunned, but not that he said that, but that everyone else thought that Muslims were very tolerant to everone, completely ignoring what the guy just said.

While I waited, I wrote about or participated in actions designed to help the Muslims of the Balkans who were being ethnically cleansed, raped and murdered.

Meanwhile, in the real world, the Muslim KLA was an associate group of Al Qaeda. Their claims of mass graves of Muslim victims of ethnic cleansing were lies. They launched a civil war against the nation of Serbia as part of an attempt to take Kosovo from Serbia. They used standard Muslim tactics against the Serbs, and the Serbs often retaliated in kind. For a small nation like Serbia, there was no other choice. Bill Clinton needed a distraction to keep people from listening to Juanita Brodderick's very credible charges of rape, and the attack of Serbia was an effective distraction. We shouldn't have been involved in that conflict, and we joined on the wrong side.
