5 Ways the Quran Explains Today’s Headlines
Pajamas Media ^ | 08/17/2014 | Robert Spencer

Posted on 08/17/2014 7:51:59 AM PDT by SeekAndFind

Nihad Awad of the Hamas-linked Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) has claimed [2] that “research has shown that anti-Islam prejudice goes down when people interact with ordinary Muslims and have greater knowledge of Islam.” Accordingly, he says, “it might also be a good idea for Americans of other faiths to borrow a Quran from a Muslim friend, neighbor or co-worker. In that way, knowledge may be increased as bonds of friendship are formed.”

Awad is right. Americans should read the Quran. If they did, they would find that it makes sense of a great many recent events that might otherwise remain inexplicable, bereft of clear motive or purpose.

5. The kidnapped aid workers in Syria.

It was revealed Thursday [3] that two young aid workers from Italy, Greta Ramelli, 20, and Vanessa Marzullo, 21, were kidnapped in Aleppo by Islamic jihadists. Western non-Muslim analysts routinely cite such stories as evidence of the evil of the jihadis — or else as evidence of how self-defeating their jihad is, if they would even try to drive out of their lands the people who have come there to help.

But the Quran makes the reasoning behind the abductions clear. Islam’s holy book directs Muslims to wage war against unbelievers, killing them by beheading and taking captives who may then be freed or ransomed: “Now when ye meet in battle those who disbelieve, then it is smiting of the necks until, when ye have routed them, then making fast of bonds; and afterward either grace or ransom till the war lay down its burdens” (47:4).

“O you who have believed, do not take the Jews and the Christians as allies. They are allies of one another. And whoever is an ally to them among you - then indeed, he is one of them. Indeed, Allah guides not the wrongdoing people.”

NOTE THE HATRED SUNNI's EXPRESS TOWARDS THEIR NON-MUSLIM NEIGHBORS...

Sabah Hajji Hassan , a 68-year-old Yazidi, in recounting the recent jihad massacres of his people, noted that “the worst killings came from the people living among us, our [Sunni] Muslim neighbors….The Metwet, Khawata and Kejala tribes – they were all our neighbours. But they joined the IS, took heavy weapons from them, and informed on who was Yazidi and who was not. Our neighbours made the IS takeover possible.”

Two weeks earlier, a Christian refugee from Mosul said much the same thing: that his Sunni Muslim neighbors “said that this land belongs to Islam and that Christians should not live there…We left Mosul because ISIS came to the city. The [Sunni] people of Mosul embraced ISIS and drove the Christians out of the city. When ISIS entered Mosul, the people hailed them and drove out the Christians.”

When non-Christians (and even some Christians) offer, as an excuse for many atrocities by Muslims, that “Christians” have committed such acts - and they often cite things like the Crusades (which by the way usually only tell the 2nd have of the “Crusades” when Christians finally respond to the Crusades Muslims had been making against them for a few hundred years), they ignore that for the Christian there is/was no scriptural justification for them in the New Testament, but for the Muslim there is scriptural justification for brutality - in the Quran.

.
Or for a muzzie to borrow a bible?

Lived in a muzzie society for more than 25 years — never had a muzzie friend and never felt the need.

Don’t be deceived Islam denies Christ as anything more than a prophet, liars and thieves, the reality they see on the world is not from God..

As I’ve repeatedly said, moderation increases as the Muslim distances themselves from the Koran until it is achieved by the unbeliever.

There is no justification in either Testament. The extermination of the Canaanites was the Canaanites only. There was no directive to kill anyone else categorically, no command to continue killing.The Koran gives an unlimited command to kill nonbelievers. That is what makes Islam a Pest.

I have had Moelem acquaintances. A couple I thought were friends at first. Then social conversation always seemed to lead to an insistence that I must convert. One fellow I had thought a lot of told me that it was a shame that eventually he would probably have to kill me in the final war that was coming soon. I cut that connection. I do not speak to Moslems. I do not goint stores that have Moslem clerks. If I am unsure I ask. If the clerk says he is from India that is fine. If he is a Pak then I turn about and leave.

Any non-muslim culture that allows or invites muzzies has a death wish — ours in particular.

The muzzie question should be brought up and discussed intensively before the 2016 elections.

If we are so concerned about the spread of ebola, then why the silence about the much more dangerous spread of islam?

Islam has killed many more than ebola ever has.

Even our rightmost politicians are afraid to talk about Islam truthfully fearing to be labeled as RACISTS! It will not be up for discussion ever, even when we are fighting battles on American soil. They will be called Riots and the 100% Mohammedan makeup of the “rioters” will never be mentioned, just the wonderful interracial character of the action because some of the rioters will be dark of skin while others will have light skin.

>>>“O you who have believed, do not take the Jews and the Christians as allies. They are allies of one another. And whoever is an ally to them among you - then indeed, he is one of them. Indeed, Allah guides not the wrongdoing people.”

Yup, this is the Koranic ayat Muslim's use to avoid assimilation & wildly use their religious freedom card in a non-Islamic governed country ruled by non-muslims (i.e. muslims are NOT to be ruled by non-muslims such as "Jews and the Christians". Further out, the more ignorant & extreme muslims would see your posting of the "allies" as rather weak/mild (Sahih (correct) International). The one more favored is from Yusuf Ali O ye who believe! take not the Jews and the Christians for your friends and protectors: They are but friends and protectors to each other. And he amongst you that turns to them (for friendship) is of them. Verily Allah guideth not a people unjust. Note the inclusion of "friends"! Now if you peered deeper their allah says even 1400 plus yrs ago to today full scale racial discrimination (Jews) and religious discrimination (Christians) are to be practiced. There's more to this ayat, enuf for now.

The cowardly politicians and the MSM and their silence is what the muzzies are banking on, both here and in Europe.

Not until family members or close friends of them get hurt or killed by these bearded barbarians, will we see a change in their attitude.

Quran false Book - Rabbi Yosef Mizrachi
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AUpSjy5Dsg4

The mark in the forehead is in the Quran and you get one by bowing to Mecca...

On their faces are their Marks, (being) the traces Of their prostration. This is their similitude In the Taurat; And their similitude In the Gospel is:

Fat-h or Victory SECTION 4, 29
