Islam's double standard
The Washington Times ^ | June 5, 2005 | Cal Thomas

Posted on 06/06/2005 5:18:31 AM PDT by Convert from ECUSA

The Pentagon has acknowledged five instances in which guards or interrogators at the Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, detention facility handled the Koran in a way that would offend some who believe it the revealed word of Allah. Three cases are said to have been deliberate and two unintentional. Amnesty International has put the United States high on the list of countries it says are guilty of prisoner and human-rights abuses because of its treatment of suspected terrorists. Joint Chiefs of Staff Chairman Gen. Richard Myers rebutted the notion of inappropriate treatment of detainees last weekend when he told Fox News Sunday these people would "slit our throats, our children's throats" if they were set free. Islamic countries apply a double standard on treatment of "holy books" and people who differ in faith and practice from Islamic dogma. While Islamic groups in the United States are engaged in "sensitivity training" sessions for non-Muslims that have included federal workers, the Ohio National Guard and U.S. Air Force Academy, there are no such sessions for Muslims to teach them tolerance for non-Islamic faiths. Quite the contrary. The least verbal or physical slight of any Muslim in America is immediately condemned by activist groups and sometimes the U.S. government. But the denigration of Jews and Christians throughout much of the Islamic world is theological and political business as usual. Jews are regularly referred to as "apes and pigs," mostly because that is what the Koran calls them.

Is this true? What a joke. If our military is doing this, then we are truly doomed and have already lost.

And don't forget MSM double standard and worse yet. Senator Biden's double standard.

I was watching BBC World last night and they had a special segment discussing Senator Biden's comment during a Sunday morning chat show how the government should close down Gitmo. How Biden thinks Gitmo with its abuse has angered the Muslim world. GRRRRRRRRRRRR!

Shame on Biden! How can the people from Delaware vote for such an idiot?

For those who want to read the report Cal is referring to, "SAUDI PUBLICATIONS ON HATE IDEOLOGY FILL AMERICAN MOSQUES", here is the shortcut.

When I was in school there was the old expression. "He can dish it out but can't take it".

That really does seem to apply to Islam.

Is this like the sensitivity training we used to have in the military concerning race relations? Which meant you go in sit down and get bashed for hours and cannot reply without being labeled a racist and hurting your career.

"Jews are regularly referred to as "apes and pigs," mostly because that is what the KORAN calls them."

In contrast.....

And HE will LOVE thee, and bless thee, and multiply thee, He will also bless the fruit of thy womb, and the fruit of thy land, thy corn, and thy wine, and thine oil, the increase of thy kind, and the flocks of thy sheep, in the land which HE SWARE unto thy fathers to give THEE. Deuteronomy 7:13

The Lord hath appeared of old unto me, saying, Yes, I have LOVED THEE with an everlasting LOVE, therefore with loving kindness have I drawn thee. Jeremiah 31:3

"...then we are truly doomed and have already lost."

I agree. We are in a major war for our survival and western civilization doesn't get it. There are far worse things loose in the world than the capitalist American president the liberal socialists in the world seem to be focusing on. They still think their fight should be the class warfare of the 1960s. At least the Soviets recognized the threat of fascism and put aside their differences until after the war. These idiots can't even seem to be able to do that. If we loose this war, one consolation would be to see the ACLU lawyers and their socialist proponents dragged out to face their executions after they tried to confound their new Islamic government by twisting the traditions and words of Islamic Law before Mullah judges.

Biden keeps getting back the same way the infamous Rep. Jim Moran (or Moron) from Northern Virginia keeps being voted back in - the area where he's from has more lib-dems than Americans, and he manages to ensure enough goodies get back to the folks at home that gaffs are ignored or forgotten.

Exactly. And even when the Lord chastizes them as recorded in the Bible - the real Holy Book - never does the Lord demean them even remotely like the heathen koran.

Islime's attitude is not one whit different from that of Nazism as it relates to non-islime-ick peoples. Just as the Nazis had Uebermenschen and Untermenschen, islime has the same concept, muslimes and "everyone else". The dar al-Islam (House of islime) in their view is destined to rule over the dar al-Harb (House of War), and those who are not muslimes will either be killed or subjugated. Abuses of all variety are approved against non-muslimes by muslimes, but Heaven forfend the non-muslimes should ever treat muslimes the way muslimes treat them! That's a violation of the moon god's law, and the non-muslimes must be punished! Same as if a Jew gave an SS man a dirty look.....the Jew would be dead in a heartbeat. No difference.

In the case of that moron Biden wanting to have Guantanamo Bay closed, he's playing to the RAT's two main constituencies: Communists and islime-ists. The Commies want Gitmo closed because it's a US enclave in a Communist country, and the islime-ists want it closed because it's holding muslimes captured trying to kill infidels. Biden has been a traitor since he entered politics, and this is just true to form for him. I'm not trying to minimize what he said, just pointing out that stupidity and treason are his (and every other RAT's) stock in trade.

A deeper point, though, is the way the RATs are sucking up to the muslimes. This is basically allowing dhimmitization without fighting back. By tacitly agreeing to separate treatment for muslimes (as Canada has already done, allowing shari'a courts to have jurisdiction over muslimes), the RATs have effectively said that Christian and Jewish Americans aren't as good as muslimes. That animated bag of suppurating cancerous sores John Conyers has effectively said the same thing with his resolution to "defend" the ignoble unholy koran (pig manure be upon it).

I've been saying for years that if you scratch a Democrat, you'll find a traitor, and since 9/11/01 that's become more true than before. Who is it who opposed the war against Saddam? Democrats. Who wants to make it impossible to catch muslime terrorists before they carry out an operation? Democrats. Who wants to treat the muslimes as if they were overlords so they won't "get the wrong idea about us"? Democrats. Democrats are the most active traitors we have in this country, and would sell all of us down the river to save their filthy hides.

Bush may not be perfect, and if I hear someone from the Republicans spout that State Department Arabist "islime is a 'religion of peace'" bull crap again, I'll scream, but at least the Republicans will fight back if we're attacked. The RATs would just whine and whimper and then disarm the American people because we must have offended the poor widdle muswimes somehow. What we need to do is get some Republicans with gonads into the Senate, and remind those striped-pants bluebloods at State that they are expendable (and expend a few of them right out the damn door!), and settle in to the long and necessary task of eliminating islime from the face of the Earth! We won't have peace until that foul ideology is totally expunged!

Too many skeletons in my closet to run for office, but thank you all the same. As God is my witness, I mean every word I say about that foul cult, and I just keep praying that our political leaders will wake up and take appropriate action to both defend this country and stamp out islime the same way we did Communism (short of the professors in universities and colleges.....).

God bless, Brother! And God bless our great Pope, Benedict!

Good post. I've read about dar al-Islam and dar al-Harb before. You are definitely right about how Islam is like the Nazis. I do know a few democrats that are for this war and understand how Islam works...but they are for gun control, abortion, ect. You're 100% right about the majority of them being traitors. 2 of the biggest examples -Kerry and Fonda.
