In other words, fix your little problem, or we’ll fix it for you.
The Religion of PIECES.
It’s like some sort of bizarro world listening to the excuse makers. Virtually no one I know, whether conserv, lib libertarian or populist is unaware of the connection between radical Islam and terrorism. Only the chattering classes in the beltways and the excuse makers think that the connnection can be hidden if they get the papers and govts to push that crap.
Saudi money fuels alot of this. American muslims need to regulate their imams, fire those who claim killing is a way to salvation and tip the FBI and law enforcemnt to those in their midst suspected of being jihadists or providing support to the psychopaths.
Muslim countries are full of peace and tolerance:
Saudi Arabia - Conversion by a Muslim to another religion is punishable by death. Bibles are illegal. Churches are illegal. Easter celebrations are illegal. It is punishable by death for a non-mulsim to enter the “holy” muslim cities of Medina and Mecca.
Yemen - Bans proselytizing by non-Muslims and forbids conversions. The Government does not allow the building of new non-Muslim places of worship.
Kuwait - Registration and licensing of religious groups. Members of religions not sanctioned in the Koran may not build places of worship. Prohibits organized religious education for religions other than Islam.
Egypt - Islam is the official state religion and primary source of legislation. Accordingly, religious practices that conflict with Islamic law are prohibited. Muslims may face legal problems if they convert to another faith. Requires non-Muslims to obtain what is now a presidential decree to build a place of worship.
Algeria - The law prohibits public assembly for purposes of practicing a faith other than Islam. Non-Islamic proselytizing is illegal, and the Government restricts the importation of non-Islamic literature for distribution. The country has passed the “Regulation of Religious Practice” law, which stipulates a punishment of two to five years’ imprisonment and heavy fines for anyone convicted of urging a Muslim to change his religion.
Syria - The constitution requires the president to be a Muslim and specifies that Islamic jurisprudence is a principal source of legislation. Sharing your Christian faith is discouraged as “posing a threat to the relations among religious groups” and carries a penalty of up to life in prison. A Christian is not allowed to proselytize – ever. Churches who want to hold an extra service must get a government permit. Sermons are routinely monitored, as is church fundraising.
Jordan - Has the death penalty for any Muslim selling land to a Jew.
Sudan - Conversion by a Muslim to another religion is punishable by death.
Pakistan - Conversion by a Muslim to another religion is punishable by death. Bans proselytizing by non-Muslims. Christians regularly put in prison for charges of blasphemy. Islam is the state religion, and in a court of law the testimony of a Christian carries less weight than that of a Muslim. Section 295(c) of the Penal Code calls for a death sentence for anyone who defiles the name of the Prophet Muhammad and requires the testimony of four Muslims for a conviction. This fosters an environment in which Muslims can feel free to use intimidation and violence against religious minorities for personal gain. Also, if any criminal Muslim rape with any Christian female and then take plea that she has accepted Islam and marry with him. Such person is not culpable under Pakistani criminal law
Qatar - Islamic instruction is compulsory in public schools. The government regulates the publication, importation, and distribution of non-Islamic religious literature. The government continues to prohibit proselytizing of Muslims by non-Muslims.
Malaysia - Under Malaysian law, any convert to Christianity must apply to a shariah (Muslim law) court to legally renounce Islam. Many Christians prefer to remain silent converts rather than take their battle to the shariah courts, where apostasy or conversion out of Islam is punishable by whipping, fines, imprisonment and—in the most extreme application—death. In a country where Muslims account for more than half of the population, conversion from Islam is punished with a 5-year prison sentence and a $3,000 fine. A Malaysian Muslim who marries a non-Muslim and who converts the non-Muslim to Islam is rewarded with an apartment, a car, a one-time payment of $2,700, and a monthly stipend of $270.
The Maldives - In the island paradise visited by tens of thousands of tourists each year, Christianity is simply not tolerated. While local Christians – said to number around 300 out of a total population of 300,000 – do get together to worship, they do so at the risk of imprisonment or worse if discovered by the Muslim authorities. Bibles are banned, and tourists can be arrested for trying to bring them into the country.
bump for later reading
Bump. Will read more than the excerpt later.
Isam for Dummies 1.0 might say that. Dummies for Islam 1.0 says something completely different.
In the 1930s few Germans were Nazis or even strongly supported Hitler, but by their silence or tacit approval of at least some of Hitler’s policies they allowed him to take over Germany and perpetrate a monstrous evil on the world. Muslims today are in the same position and unless they actively seek to purge their religion of Islamic fascism, they like the German people will have to suffer the world’s wrath.
1350 years of history isn’t enough to answer the question?
Everybody shut up and things will be peaceful. Or you can have eternal peace fairly rapidly. Those are the choices offered by the ROP apologists.
Until that happens, then folks like this author are just whistlin' Dixie, with no demonstrable courage of conviction.
You did it because you and hundreds of millions of mohammedan followers like you read and adhere to the hateful teachings of a maniacal caravan looter.
This is going to be a pretty hard sell given the be-headings, bombings, murders, etc. that we hear about every day. Just an hour ago, Rush was telling about the Taliban serving an 11 year old boy to his parents baked with fruit in his mouth in an attempt to force them to join their movement. Rush said he's seen pictures of the child on Michael Yon's web site.
Heinous attempts to link terrorism with Islam?
Perhaps these "muslims' should write a new Koran and dream up a new "life of Mohammad" story. Otherize, LYING in an attempt to make Islam what is contrary to it's teachings will get them nowhere.
Unlike 80% of Muslims in the third world, Western Society is litterate, it's people can read the evil and hatred the Koran is filled with, and the monster Mohammad was and held up in the Islamic world as model of behavior to follow.
Qur'an:8:7 "Allah wished to confirm the truth by His words: ‘Wipe the infidels out to the last.'"
Qur'an:8:39 "So, fight them till all opposition ends and the only religion is Islam."
Qur'an:21:44 "Do they[not] see Us advancing, gradually reducing the land (in their control), curtailing its borders on all sides? It is they who will be overcome." obviously, they do not see this)
More "peacefull Islam":
Ishaq:322 "I will cast terror into the hearts of those who reject Me. So strike off their heads and cut off their fingers. All who oppose Me and My Prophet shall be punished severely."
Ishaq:204 "‘Men, do you know what you are pledging yourselves to in swearing allegiance to this man?' ‘Yes. In swearing allegiance to him we are pledging to wage war against all mankind.'"
Qur'an:24:55 "Allah has promised to those among you who believe and do good work (Jihad) that He will make them rulers of the earth. He will establish in authority their religion - the one which He has chosen for them."
Qur'an:2:216 "Jihad (holy fighting in Allah's Cause) is ordained for you (Muslims), though you dislike it. But it is possible that you dislike a thing which is good for you, and like a thing which is bad for you. But Allah knows, and you know not. Warfare is ordained for you."
Bukhari:V4B52N311 "Allah's Apostle said, ‘There is no migration after the Conquest of Mecca, but only Jihad. When you are called by the Muslim ruler for Jihad fighting, you should go forth immediately, responding to the call.'"
Qur'an:9:111 "Allah has purchased the believers, their lives and their goods. For them (in return) is the Garden (of Paradise). They fight in Allah's Cause, and they slay and are slain; they kill and are killed."
Bukhari:V4B52N196 "Allah's Apostle said, ‘I have been ordered to fight with the people till they say,"None has the right to be worshipped but Allah. (in the whole world)"'"
Bukhari:V4B52N50 "The Prophet said, ‘A single endeavor of fighting in Allah's Cause is better than the world and whatever is in it.'"
Noble Qur'an:2:190 Footnote: "Jihad is holy fighting in Allah's Cause with full force of numbers and weaponry. It is given the utmost importance in Islam and is one of its pillars. By Jihad Islam is established, Allah's Word is made superior (which means only Allah has the right to be worshiped), and Islam is propagated. By abandoning Jihad Islam is destroyed and Muslims fall into an inferior position; their honor is lost, their lands are stolen, their rule and authority vanish. Jihad is an obligatory duty in Islam on every Muslim. He who tries to escape from this duty, or does not fulfill this duty, dies as a hypocrite."
Bukhari:V4B52N220 "Allah's Apostle said, ‘I have been sent with the shortest expressions bearing the widest meanings, and I have been made victorious with terror. While I was sleeping, the keys of the treasures of the world were brought to me and put in my hand.' Allah's Apostle has left the world and now we are bringing out those treasures."
Bukhari:V4B52N267 "The Prophet said, ‘Khosrau will be ruined. There won't be a Persian King after him. Caesar will be ruined. There will be no Caesar after him. You will spend their treasures in Allah's Cause.' He proclaimed, ‘War is deceit.'"
Claiming Islam is a 'religion of peace" is just more deceit. There is no "peacefull Islam" to be found anywhere in the Koran and hadith. All there is, is Hate, and instructions on how to kill infidels, Jews.
“Reasonable Muslims now agree that when a religion veers so far off course”
Islamic apologists refuse to admit that it has not veered off course. It is on the same course it’s been on for 1400 years.
Two numbers you need to know about Islam:
8843 - the number (to date) of documented Islamic Terror attacks worldwide since 9/11
107 - the number of signatures on CAIR’s “Not in the name of Islam” online petition that has been available for people to sign for over three years (May 2004).
Crazy. Next thing you know they'll try to link thunder with lightning or smoke with fire.
Reasonable Muslims now agree that when a religion veers so far off course, it loses immunity to inquisition...Well Shit-Howdy!...that’s mightly Muslim of you!
Crickets chirping again...
