There is no Amish Jihad. There is no Jewish Jihad and no Christian Jihad. There is only Islamic Jihad. Why?

The failure to acknowledge the unpleasant truths of Islam, its intolerance, violence, cruelty, misogyny, and hatred is fundamental to multiculturalism. Moral relativism is multiculturalism. We are told that we cannot discuss Islam because Islam is a religion and that therefore what Islam is about is the business of Muslims only. This is a confusion of purpose and a lack of understanding of daily events whereby Muslims kill and abuse non-believers with Western multiculturalists defending their right to such activity on the basis of ”its their religion”. 

The concept that “Islam has been hijacked” and that Islam is “the religion of peace” is counterintuitive as much as it is a worldview that is simply untrue. Since the majority of the doctrine of Islam is about how Muslims are to interact with kafirs (non-believers) it is the right and duty of all kafirs to understand Islam and discuss it, especially when Islam’s purpose vis-a-vis unbelievers (and apostates) is overtly hostile.

The greatest mistake of President Bush’s administration was in stating that Islam is a “hijacked” “religion of peace”. The statement is false. Acceptance and tolerance of a political political ideology that is existentially opposed to everything that Americans say that they hold dear in the name of “tolerance” is national suicide and nothing less.

A recent ethical and core mission failure on the part of the Anti-Defamation League (ADL) is illustrative.  Geert Wilders the Danish parliamentarian and creator of the film Fitna has been a lightning rod of controversy across the world for his outspoken views on the dangers that Islam and the ever-increasing Muslim population of Europe and in the US (and the concomitant shrinking of the populations of host countries) pose to the West. Wilders is only one of very few European politicians who are speaking out on these issue. He is several years ahead of the curve, though Europe is probably ten years late in responding to this very serious problem. At a recent speech in Florida Mr. Wilders was condemned by the state director of the ADL.

The Florida area director of the ADL, one Andrew Rosenkranz, attacked Wilders who has been speaking at synagogues across Florida. Rosenkranz condemned Wilders’ alleged “message of hate” which refuses to distinguish between the religion of Islam and Jihadism. A great many scholars of Islam would not affirm Mr. Rosenkranz’s simplistic bifurcation (however civic-minded). Making that distinction is, in fact, a far more difficult intellectual and theological undertaking than he recognizes. While in a narrow sense Islamism with a capital “I” is a recent historical development – we associate the derivation of the term with the birth of the Muslim Brotherhood in Egypt in 1928 under the leadership of Hasan al-Banna – Islamism/Jihadism has been a foundation stone of Islam from its inception, and any close reading of the Qur’an, the Hadith, or familiarity with the Sunnah or the four schools of Islamic jurisprudence makes the point incontestable.

The ADL’s embrace of tolerance for all includes tolerance for those whose ideology tells them to kill Jews wherever they are found. It is a moral and ethical failure to recognize a conflict between good and evil.

Without an apology by the ADL, the ADL’s effectiveness as a defender of Jews is at an end, and their new mission of defending liberal concepts of multiculturalism and inclusiveness has now come to the fore. The irony of defending those whose ideology promotes absolutism and intolerance under the banner of tolerance is likely lost on the leadership of ADL.

Americans confuse tolerance and inclusiveness far too often with a complete laissez-faire political and cultural milieux that simply does not exist; it pretends that the world is not what it is and immediately forgets 9/11, Mumbai, London, Paris, Beslan, Khobar, USS Cole, Pentagon, Flight 93, Kenyan embassies, Bali, etc.

This blind tolerance of intolerance is founded upon anti-intellectualism and a firmly held disconnect from the realities that surround us and of those forces of brutality and death whose goal is our destruction. Only a society in danger can actively defend those whose mission is the destruction of that society. We did not defend the rights of Nazis during the Second World War; we fought them.

We have dealt with absolutist and cruel ideologies in the past; and we have gone to war against those ideologies. Americans oppose ideologies that value death over life or, at least we did so in the past. Cultures that cannot identify cruelty and violence as something to be opposed are fertile ground for absolutist ideologies, be they cults or “religions”.

Many multi-culturalists and defenders of Islam, those who generally know nothing of Islam and its doctrine, often look to the Holocaust. They say that criticism of Islam is akin to the criticism of the Jews by the Nazis prior to the Holocaust.  They say that criticism of a religion or group of people must then inevitably result in some horrible reaction against adherents of such groups.

But there is no underlying hatred of Muslims in the United States, nor in Europe, as there was extreme Jew hatred across Europe prior to the war, and now resurgent again today. The West opposed Communism and Nazism because the ideologies of these movements were fundamentally antagonistic to our own American culture and political system. These were ideologies of cruelty and expansion and a total deconstruction and debasement of the individual to the system. The doctrine of Islam is similar.

In Islam the individual Muslim is not alone with God. Instead, he is a “slave of Allah” and the rules of his mental and moral and other kinds of servitude are all set out in the Shari’a, the Holy Law of Islam. So you’ve Got Friends. Every Muslim is your new true-blue friend. And, because of how Muslims are taught to view the world, every Infidel who somehow makes problems for Islam, who insists, for example, on the right of free peoples in the West to exercise their freedoms — freedom of speech, freedom of conscience — is now your enemy. (Fitzgerald)

This is not to say that there aren’t nice Muslims; there are. This discussion is not about individuals but about a political ideology of warfare, conquest, cruelty, and intolerance.

Many Muslims know less of their doctrine than non-believers. But, since the Koran  is the actual word of Allah the Koran cannot be changed, ever. Because the Koran is very clear that Jews are to be killed; that no religion can exist other than Islam; that Islam is at war with all unbelievers everywhere and forever; that those captured in war can be enslaved; that slaves can be raped and sold; that torture and brutality, theft, murder, pedophilia, and a demand for total submission to this doctrine by all adherents are fundamental requirements; and that leaving the religion is a sin punishable by death – what is the nice Muslim who does not know the doctrine to do when he/she finds out about it?

Because the doctrine of Islam is locked in time and cannot be changed or reformed, the nice Muslim must make a decision to behave according to the rules laid down by Allah and Mohammed in the Koran or become an apostate and leave the religion.  For many, this is a very, very difficult decision. But many have left and are speaking out about the truth of Islam and its doctrine.

The context of world events in which cruelty and barbarism are seen daily as perpetrated by Islamists is the doctrine of Islam. The majority of the Koran is not about how to be a Muslim but is about how Muslims are to interact with non-believers. This means that Islam is a political ideology.

Because Islam is a political ideology as well as a religion adherents must behave towards the unbelievers as commanded by Koran (the never-changing perfect word of Allah) to war against them forever until they are conquered or until they submit to Islam. This means that an observant Muslim must embrace the political concepts and commands of the doctrine if they are to be a devout religionist in Islam and properly submit to Allah and the commands of Mohammed.

According to statistical analysis, “the amount of text in the entire Koran devoted to kafirs is 61%.”  A kafir is non-believer, all non-Muslims are kafirs.

Defenders of Islam, mainly those who know nothing of the doctrine, say that the violence in the Koran is echoed by similar violence in the major religious books of Judaism and Christianity. This is not so.

The violence in the old and new Testaments is temporaryand localized; the violence in the doctrine of Islam is permanent and universal. Islam is always at war with the unbelievers, forever and everywhere; Islam is always desirous of the death of Jews, everywhere and forever; Islam requires kafirs to be conquered, converted, or killed, everywhere and forever. Those multiculturists and leftists who defend Islam and its doctrine usually know nothing of its doctrine and usually explain away all terror attacks and daily events of cruelty and violence done because of the doctrine of Islam as further evidence of the “hijacking” of Islam rather than further proof of its actual cruel and barbaric nature.

It is critical to bear in mind that Muslims cannot view the Qur’an as Westerners do their Holy Scripture as a smorgasbord from which to pick and choose in the interest of the most humane exegesis. In Islam, one cannot retain the nice bits and leave out the nasty ones. That’s because there’s no parallel between the status of the Qur’an in Islam and that of the Hebrew Bible in Judaism or the New Testament in Christianity. The great majority of Jews and Christians (excluding the relative handful of true literalists in both faiths) understand scripture as the divinely inspired words of human beings who were children of their time, whose values were historically conditioned. If an ancient text has become an ethical anachronism (such as passages in Leviticus recommending stoning homosexuals or adulterers) we no longer consider them binding. But Muslim believers see the Qur’an in very different terms. It is the literal word of God transmitted whole and perfect – perfect for all time – to Mohammed by the Angel Gabriel. It is thus an extension of God himself; the analogy would not be the Hebrew Bible or New Testament but rather to the Christian Eucharist. No human being can change what is written or reinterpret it in light of contemporary understanding. It is neither historically nor socially conditioned. What was true when the revelation was allegedly made to Mohammed in the seventh century is equally true now. Passages that strike a modern Western ear as utterly barbarous and malevolent – because they are – retain all their sanctity for an authority over believers. (Stephen Steinlight, FrontPage Magazine, source)

Defenders of Islam, those who say that Islam is “peaceful”, are generally unaware that there were previous holocausts perpetrated by Islam against Jews, Hindus, Christians, Zoroastrians, and many other religions and cultures. The body count of jihadis in the hundreds of millions since the inception of this cruel ideology 1400 years ago. The extreme cruelty of Islam is ignored by multiculturalists who prefer to see Islam and the world itself as they would prefer it to be rather than acknowledge the truth.

Tolerance of ideologies that oppose our existence is not rational. Opposing an ideology that is brutal and cruel and intolerant itself is not hate-mongering or “racism” or “bigotry”. Islam is not a race.

The discussion of the doctrine of Islam, in particular Islam’s holiest book the Koran, holds all the answers. The cruelty of the Koran and its almost unbelievable commands to adherents for perpetual war, slaving, barbarity and hatred is too much for many in the West to accept. Every day we see proofs that the ideology of Islam is alive and well, and motivating many across the world to do deeds that we consider outside the family of humanity.

There are no Amish jihadis. If there were, would they hassle you with annoying encomiums of their religion and suggest strongly that you convert, and give you a headache? Yes. This is not the approach of Islam. In Islam, all kafirs(non-believers) must submit to Allah and Mohammed – they will not give you a headache, they will remove your head. 

We have daily reports of the brutality of the ”religion of peace”, but many will not listen choosing not to believe it. Read the Koran yourself.

We have fought cruel ideologies in the past. We have faced Nazis and Communists, and destroyed them. We destroyed them because if we did not, they would destroy us.

All kafirs are to be conquered, converted, or killed. Any philosophy that raises death over life we have in the past and should today condemn and oppose.  Amidst a devastating ideological war that involves the killing and brutalization of Jews, Christians, Americans, and non-believers across the world it is absurd that we should pretend that such a conflict does not exist.

Suggesting that this conflict is not real, and that Islam is the “religion of peace” is contrary to the doctrine of Islam and the daily activities and stated aims of those who submit to Islam. Suggesting that Islam is the religion of peace – hijacked, is akin to suggesting that there are Amish jihadists.

There is no Amish jihad.

Walid Shoebat, the former PLO terrorist, recently said about the Jews, “The sheep do not know the wolf, but the wolf knows the sheep.” It is not only the Jews who do not know the sheep, it is the majority of western society that does not oppose those whose mission is the destruction of everything that we hold dear. Our lack of knowledge of Islam is a moral failure, our failure to oppose cruelty and barbarity is the seed of our national destruction. Knowledge is the foundation of any response to this existential threat that is political Islam. Pretending that Islam is the “religion of peace” is a convenient sop for the majority but it is not so.

Too many in the West prefer to fight dead Nazis, and Amish jihadists while the real battle continues without them. The forces of Islamic jihad prefer that we fight Amish jihadists. If only we should be so lucky in that Islam’s foundation would be non-violence (instead of warfare and cruelty) like those concepts embraced by the Amish. We are not so blessed. We must accept the world for what it is, and the nature of Islam for what it is also. To do otherwise is national suicide.

The violent conflict between orthodox and non-orthodox Islam that is ongoing in Pakistan is instructive. If the purpose of Islam is to live life according to the Koran, Sunna, and Hadith, and follow the perfect example of Mohammed, why do hundreds of thousands flee the Taliban, instead of embracing them as they advance on the capitol?

According to M. A. Khan, author of Islamic Jihad, the Talibanization of Pakistan is nothing less then the fulfillment of the founders’ vision of that country. Khan suggests that the failure of Pakistan’s government and conquest of the Taliban are essentially “inescapable”.

“Pakistan” means “land of the pure”. In Islam, non-Muslims are filthy, impure (Quran 9:28). So the name “Pakistan” was carefully chosen to make it exclusively an abode of a pure people, Muslims—completely disconnected from the filthy non-Muslims. And Jinnah’s tool to create this pure, organically Islamic, state was “Jihad” or holy war: he tried to emulate Prophet Muhammad’s model of Jihad that he had applied to create the first Islamic State in Arabia by slaughter, expulsion, enslavement and forced conversion of the infidels en masse. (M. A. Khan, Talibanization of Pakistan: Realizing the Dreams of Founding Fathers, Islam-Watch.org)

Khan, one of the top scholars of Islamic history and jihad explains that the purpose of Pakistan was to be a “pure” Islamic state. The purpose of the Taliban is to be the purest Islamic movement. It seems a perfect fit; a purist Islamist movement is significantly challenging the non-purist Pakistani government for supremacy.

The recent treachery of the cancellation of the Swat Valley peace agreement after the Taliban was granted ownership of that region and the right to implement Sharia law is easily understood in the context of Islamic history and from the actions of  Mohammed himself.

In Islam, if Mohammed “did it”, because Mohammed is the perfect example for all humans to follow, then it is “good” and something that should be emulated; it’s ok for you to do it, too (if you’re a Muslim – in fact, Mohammed is your model). If Mohammed breached a treaty, then so can you, and that is exactly what the Taliban did after they got what they wanted in Swat. When Islam is strong, it is to be unrelenting and unforgiving; treaties are a means to an end, and the end is not peace. the “end” is the total supremacy of Islam. Khan shows that Pakistan is now fulfilling its original purposes.

Pakistanis have been fooled for too long by Jinnah [Muhammad Ali Jinnah, one of the "founding fathers" of Pakistan] to begin with, depriving them of a truly Islamic state. Thanks to the Taliban, they are about to realize their ‘dream state’, for which they relentlessly fought and sacrificed immensely. On this, the words of Qazi Hussain Ahmad, the ever-honest leader of Jamaat-e-Islami Pakistan, is most instructive:

“Complete Islamisation of Pakistan has been the genuine and long-standing demand of the overwhelming majority of Pakistanis. Not only that, it is also the appropriate answer to the lurking fears of Talibanisation, growing rapidly with every passing day, as a natural response to the suppression of this public demand at the state level.” (M. A. Khan, Talibanisation of Pakistan: Realizing the Dreams of Founding Fathers, Islam-Watch.org)

If, as Khan suggests, the current rise of the Taliban in Pakistan is the fulfillment of the original concept of the kind of Islamic state that Pakistan was always meant to be – why then are so many thousands of Pakistanis fleeing the Taliban? The answer is that though Islamic doctrine is a monolith, the implementation of it is not.

Speaking to thousands of followers in an address aired live from Swat on national news channels, cleric Sufi Mohammed bluntly defied the constitution and federal judiciary, saying he would not allow any appeals to state courts under the system of sharia, or Islamic law, that will prevail there as a result of the peace accord signed by the president Tuesday.

“The Koran says that supporting an infidel system is a great sin,” Mohammed said, referring to Pakistan’s modern democratic institutions. He declared that in Swat, home to 1.5 million people, all “un-Islamic laws and customs will be abolished,” and he suggested that the official imprimatur on the agreement would pave the way for sharia to be installed in other areas. (Washington Post, 4/20/2009)

It is clear that though the doctrine of Islam commands adherence to Sharia and the law of Allah and Mohammed as forwarded to all the world by jihad; not all Muslims embrace this idea. Because they do not embrace this idea, they are considered something less than Muslim by orthodox absolutist Muslims like the Taliban.

It would be wrong to think that all Muslims adhere to the ideology of jihad for, in fact, many Muslims reject it. Some have fallen victim to it, as is the case in Algeria, where jihadists carry out violence against moderates in an attempt to enforce Shari’a (Islamic law). There are many other Muslims around the world fighting for values of freedom.(Bat Ya’or)

The brutality of life under the Taliban was clear to the world, prior to the American invasion of that country in 2001. The Taliban are the strictest adherents to Sharia and insist on a literal interpretation of the commands of Allah and the doctrine of Islam. This is orthodoxy, but it is also moderation (this is duality, fundamental to Islamic doctrinal logic) as implementation of Sharia and the rule of Allah is commanded in the doctrine.

The Koran is clear on these points.

“We bring misfortune to mankind in turns so that Allah can discern who are the true believers, and so that We may select martyrs from among you.” Koran, 3:140

“If you follow the unbelievers, they will cause you to reject the faith and lead you to eternal damnation.” Koran, 3:149

“Anyone who opposes the Messenger after having received Our guidance and follows a path other than that of the true believer will be left to their own devices. We will lead them into Hell, an evil home.” Koran, 4:115

Muslims who are not as exacting in their implementation of Koranic law are not considered proper Muslims by the Taliban. Therefore, the Taliban can make war upon them to bring them into alignment with the way of Islam as it is written in the Koran, Sira, and Hadith.

In fact, people under the Taliban who are outside of the doctrine of Islam often face the death penalty. The brutality of the Taliban has made the world cringe since their activities in Afghanistan became widely known prior to 9/11. Cruelty is an ongoing theme in the Islamic world. This is the way of Mohammed, if Mohammed was cruel, then so can Muslims be cruel as Mohammed is the perfect example of humanity for all Muslims to follow. This is particularly seen often with torture and beheading cases across the Islamic world. The recent case of the torture video that shows a UAE prince brutally torturing a man (a fellow Muslim) is only the most current in this nauseating, anti-human theme of cruelty that runs throughout Islamic history and current practices.

Daniel Pipes, noted authority on Islamic and Middle East politics and culture wrote recently on this case,

That cruelty, usually at a remove from outsiders, became cinematically vivid on April 22, 2009, when ABC News aired a tape of a prince from the United Arab Emirates sadistically torturing an Afghan merchant he accused of dishonesty. No less instructive were the passive reactions of his government and of American officials. The story reveals much and is worth pondering. (The Culture of Cruelty, Daniel Pipes, May 15, 2009)

When put in context of Pakistan and the cruelty of the Taliban against their fellow Muslims, the UAE torture tape is illustrative. It does not matter that the torture victim in the tape is a fellow Muslim, just as it does not matter in Swat, or anywhere in Pakistan that a victim of Taliban brutality is a fellow Muslim. Islam is a brutal ideology to both believers and non-believers.

Cruelty is at the foundation of Islamic doctrine. Mohammed tortured people, so the UAE prince feels it’s alright to torture. This is the way of Mohammed, the perfect example for all Muslims to follow.

“Muhammed therefore ordered his fellow Zabeer Bin Awwam to torture Kinanah until he confessed. He burned Kinanah’s chest and body until he fell unconscious. When Kinanah woke up, Muhammed ordered another follower called Muhammed Bin Mosalamh to torture Kinanah and eventually behead him. (Bukhari,6947; quoted in Living by the Point of My Spear” by Zaki Ameen, p116)

Islam is totalitarianism. When Islam is implemented according to the doctrine it is a system of cruelty and injustice that is rarely if ever surpassed for brutality. Those unfortunate enough to live under Sharia know its cruelties and savageries. We see the Taliban and their cruelty, and its defense in Islamic doctrine. The United States drove the Taliban out of Afghanistan just for this brutality and savagery as well as their support of the terrorists/jihadists who attacked the US on 9/11. We are not the only ones who watch the Taliban with growing concern.

Those whose fate it will be to live under Taliban orthodoxy flee in the hundreds of thousands to escape a form of civilization whose cruetly and violence is mandated in the doctrine of Islam. The fact that the civilization they flee is their own, is cause for deep reflection in the Muslim world, and a cause for hope in the west. The New York Times puts the number of those fleeing the Taliban at 1.3 million. The high cost of jihad has been documented.The cruelty of Islam comes directly from the doctrine. The brutality of its followers can be seen daily.

Mr. John David Lewis, in a lecture presented at the Ayn Rand Institute’s OCON conference “The Jihad Against the West,” in Boston, MA, on October 21, 2006 states the case quite clearly. He explains why political Islam is inherently contrary to freedom and the rights of individuals, and why everything in the world is subsumed to the purposes of jihad and the spread of this cruel ideology as described in the doctrine of Islam. This is why the people of Pakistan flee the Taliban.

A government that turns its force against its own citizens, especially to impose an ideological doctrine on them, subordinates the rights of individuals to the demands of the State. This is statism—the elevation of the State over the individual, and the inversion of the very purpose of government. Statism is the greatest killer in history—dwarfing all attacks by criminals—precisely because it is motivated by some form of mystical political ideology. Because statists claim an authority that is above the rights of man—whether the Fuehrer’s master race, the communists’ dialectic, or the theocrat’s God—they do not recognize the principle of individual rights or the self-ownership of men on earth; rather, they claim the right to rule men, and to kill with impunity anyone who disobeys the ideology or regime.

…The all-encompassing, totalitarian nature of Islamic Law—its claims to divine origin, its commitment to uphold “Allah’s” will, and its ultimate goal of making everyone on earth submit to it—leaves no room for individual rights or freedom. This code is barbaric and tribal, frozen in time for over a thousand years, not open to rational scrutiny but only to unquestioned obedience (as the Indonesian cleric emphasized). To impose this primitive code by force is to inject religion into every aspect of human thought and action—which is the ultimate goal of Islamic Totalitarianism. (Source)

If Muslims reject Talibanism and flee from them, preferring not to live under their rule, what then does this mean about the nature of Islam itself? Hundreds of thousands of people are running from the Taliban but the Taliban promises a true implementation of the commands of Allah and Mohammed. Wouldn’t most if not all Muslims want to live in this way, live according to the foundational concepts of Islam and the commands of Allah and Mohammed? Apparently, the answer is “No”.

The Taliban is extraordinarily unattractive because of their rigidity, brutality, and totalitarian absolutism. There are fewer less attractive political groups in the world today. But the Taliban are Islamic foundationalists, they implement what they are told to implement according to the doctrine of Islam. The knock on the door by the Taliban, is similar to the knock on the door of the Gestapo.  Brutality and barbarism are the same throughout time; a total disregard for morality, ethics, and a total devaluation of others, particularly those who do not follow the ideology of the oppressor.

Gestapo, WW2:

The pounding on the door became louder, and we heard male voices shouting something in a language I did not understand. As we started toward the door its latch shattered and it swung open; soldiers rushed in with rifles and fixed bayonets extended before them.

Pakistan, May, 2009:

Suddenly she heard shots, and the screaming grew louder: “Long live Taliban! Death to infidels!”
The men forced their way into her house, hurled loose tiles and a glass at her and fired a shot. She fainted.
-GoogleNews, Pakistan’s religious minorities report violence

The rise of the Taliban in Pakistan may indeed be the fulfillment of the original concepts of Pakistan the “state” as envisaged by its founders as M. A. Khan stated above. But perhaps there is something else going on in Pakistan. Perhaps the rejection of the Taliban by so much of Pakistan’s population is a wider rejection of the brutality of the doctrine of Islam itself by Muslims.

The conflict in Pakistan may actually be cause for hope in these dark times of global jihad and cruelty. If the thousands of people fleeing from Taliban brutality have rejected what the Taliban stand for, haven’t they also rejected the cruel nature of the doctrine of Islam itself? Events in Pakistan are a cause for soul-searching in the Muslim world and a time for awareness of an existential danger in the kafir (unbeliever) world.

Shortly before his death, Robert E. Lee wrote to a friend,

“It is history that teaches us to hope.”

Lee himself repudiated one of the foundational components of the Confederacy for which he fought when he wrote,

“So far from engaging in a war to perpetuate slavery, I am rejoiced that slavery is abolished.”

In that case, the society that perpetuated slavery (the society that Lee fought for) was destroyed and overturned, and those who supported it often came to very different realizations after the war than could have been expected from them during the war itself. Lee’s rejection of slavery and embrace of the union after the Civil War in the United States gives us hope generations later that those who fight and kill for an idea can change.

The rejection of the Taliban is a rejection of the fundamentals of Islamic doctrine, its cruelty, its barbarity and absolutism. We do not know for certain why so many have fled the Taliban, but it is easy to venture a guess.

Most people, Muslim or kafir, prefer not to live under totalitarianism if they can avoid it. So, they run, and fight.

If Lee is right perhaps this is a moment of hope. There is little in the history of jihad that provides any cause for hope for kafirs; the death toll from jihad is in the hundreds of millions. Rarely have we seen a rejection of Islam from Muslims as wide spread as the rejection of the Taliban by so many Pakistanis, the pure Islamic state. Perhaps the cycles of history are turning, and Lee’s idea is again in force and this is the moment where those after us will say, “This was an important moment when we had cause to hope.”

We are not all ignorant of the purposes and history of political Islam. Our greatest weapon is understanding why Islam does what it does. And when we understand, we can and must reject it.

As a species we are very good at denying the truth.

When reality is ugly, or simply too unpleasant to countenance we deny it; often vocally railing against it. Very few now deny the truth of the crimes of the Nazis during WW2 but the denial of the crimes of Islam from its inception to today continues to occur almost universally in western society.

Denial of the reality of Islam, its purposes and foundational doctrine of cruelty, hatred, misogyny, and universal perpetual warfare against unbelievers has brought more than several countries in Europe to the breaking point.

Again, and again we see the violence and cruelty of Islam; we hear the language of hate and intolerance from Muslim leaders and yet we continue to deny the ugly truth of what Islam truly is about. This ability to deny unpallatable truths and our societal ignorance of Islam and its doctrine is the foundation of our failure to respond to the existential threat that Islam represents.

Two recent cases of tragic lovers illustrate denial; denial of individuals to face ugly truths, and denial of Islam to accept any behavior that is outside the doctrine, outside the collective construct of what is acceptable to Islam in life.

In Islam pleasure can only be understood in the way that Mohammed and the doctrine of Islam approve, anything outside this context of absolute control by Islam of its adherents, or those trapped within its borders, is strictly verboten. Time and again, we see that the penalty for human individualism, human questing for freedom and love and happiness outside of Islam is death.

Islam is about a collective reality and has nothing whatever to do with the concept of “the individual” except in so far as the individual conforms to the doctrine and fits into the collective. This is a form of mind-control and a brutality of the spirit that can only be understood in a totalitarian context.

Islam is a totalitarian ideology built upon the denial of the human spirit and the better part of our souls; it is the denial of the individual. Can there be a more contrasting philosophy to democracy and inclusiveness and tolerance than this?

The great historian and analyst of American democracy, Alexis de Tocqueville understood this to be so when he wrote in a letter to Arthur de Gobineau, 10/22/1843, “I studied the Koran a great deal. I came away from that study with the conviction there have been few religions in the world as deadly to men as that of Muhammad. (source).”

The nature of Islam is clear and cannot be disputed, it is described in detail in the doctrine of Islam – the Koran, Sira, and Hadiths; the violent history of Islam originates directly from the doctrine.

“In fact, an appropriate and statistically acceptable characterization is that Islamic doctrines overwhelmingly preaches dislike, hatred and conquest of unbelievers and that this material constitutes the majority of the content in the Koran.”

The goals of Islam are the same as they have ever been - the complete Islamization of the world and destruction of every religion, culture, and government that is not Islamic; this is indisputable. Because we are not taught the history of Islam, and because we are in the main ignorant of it we cannot respond intelligently nor defend ourselves from this existential threat that is Islam (which is seen clearly in the doctrine and in Islamic history).

Islam is at war with all unbelievers everywhere and forever, this is jihad. Unbelievers are called kafirs in Islamic doctrine and in Muslim speech today. But through ignorance and the failure of our leaders to acknowledge the truth of Islam, and teach their people, “Kafirs are in absolute denial that a history of political Islam even exists. (source)“ 

The majority of Americans do not know history, and cannot therefor place any current events of Islamic violence and cruelty into an understandable and rational context. In many ways, as a society, we are personally outside of the flow of history, though history does not care.

“Considered as a nation, they are deplorably wretched, because they have no property in the soil to inspire an ambition to cultivate it. They are abject slaves to the despotism of their government, and they are humiliated by tyranny, the worst of all tyrannies, the despotism of priestcraft. They live in more solemn fear of the frowns of a bigot who has been dead and rotten above a thousand years, than of the living despot whose frown would cost them their lives… The ignorance, superstitious tradition and civil and religious tyranny, which depress the human mind here, exclude improvement of every kind…”
William Eaton — U. S. Consul to Tunis (1764-1811)

Our leaders and our population continues to deny the truth of Islam, just as we as individuals in our own personal lives shut away the truth and create bubbles of palatable illusion into which we retreat when truth is just too ugly to accept. “‘Denial can be a very intoxicating state,’ said criminal profiler John Kelly.”

The doctrine of Islam encourages and demands a level of cruelty, institutionalized and society- wide, through its concepts of sharia law and jihad that westerners can barely comprehend and accept. The doctrine cannot be more clear: “61 percent of the Koran talks ills of unbelievers or calls for their violent conquest and subjugation, but only 2.6 percent of it talks about the overall good of humanity.” Two similar cases of tragedy illustrate denial in a way that is difficult to …deny.

Ongoing investigations into the so-called “Craigslist Killer” in the Boston area appear to show a young man with an apparently bright future but a predilection to murder and brutality. An unlikely suspect, a 22-year old male medical school student has been arrested for the murder and assault in the case. Police authorities have found a gun in his apartment, which they now say is the murder weapon; they have found articles of clothing belonging to the victims in his apartment, and have tracked his internet use and connected it definitively to at least one victim. The evidence is mounting, and is overwhelming. In addition, surveillance photos from the crime scenes appear to show a man who looks remarkably like the arrested man.

But this picture, this reality of a man who is a predator and a killer is entirely contrasted with how his fiance and most of those who knew him (but not all) understood his character to be. The fiance in fact is now publicly defending the suspect, stating to the press that “he couldn’t hurt a fly”.

There is a great deal of interest in this case and in the denial of the fiance to accept the ugly reality of her boyfriend, the man she was to marry in August. This is an illustrative case; denial of the fiance is roundly criticized. The deluded woman is attacked across the internet. Most people condemn her foolishness and lack of insight in refusing to accept the obvious truth that her fiance is a fiend, a predator, and killer. There is sympathy, too, but mainly astounded disbelief that someone could be so attached to an idea and simply refuse to give it up when reality proves that the idea is false. This is classic denial. “‘People fall in love and want to see what they want to see. It’s a fool’s paradise,’ said family therapist Charles Foster of Cambridge.”

There is little sympathy for those who speak the truth about the history of Islam, the doctrine of Islam, the dangers of Sharia, and the cruelty of this ideology that has killed millions over the course of the centuries. Why? Because the majority of Americans, forgiving, multicultural, tolerant, and ignorant of history and Islamic doctrine live in a “fool’s paradise”.

As we face a growing threat from Islam across the west, those few brave enough to speak the truth are attacked as hatemongers and racists and bigots because the West is in denial about Islam. Worse, those who discuss the history and doctrine of Islam are criticized by the deniers as ignorant, while the ignorant deniers take the high moral ground of knowledge and scholarship – a false “scholarship” based upon ignorance.

We have been warned about the denial of knowledge and learning; about the embrace of ignorance by Huxley, Orwell, and many other authors and philosophers. We have seen in history where denial of truth and the embrace of ignorance leads- it leads to Nuremberg rallies and Sobibor and Treblinka.

One could ask if “ignorance is bliss” why aren’t more people happy? Ignorance is the embrace of a lie. Lies do not bring happiness; the fiance of the Craigslist killer in Boston will tell you.

This denial will see the destruction of our countries, our religions, our cultures over time. Denial is demise, destruction.

Islam also embraces denial but in a very different way. Islam’s denial is the foundation of its ideology, the denial of the individual; denial of the truth of Islam by the West is the denial of our own independence and individuality which is the mission of Islam. We know this because this is what the doctrine says, this is what Mohammed says, this is what the followers of Islam say across the world. If these ugly and unpopular truths are denied perhaps they will go away. Perhaps the poor deluded fiance whose betrothed is a killer can will reality away with her active denial of the truth; perhaps she can will the past to return when everything seemed alright and the future was still before her rosy and bright? Her denial has placed herself outside the flow of reality, but reality does not care.

Islam is very interested in denial although it is characterized as freedom. “Islam” means “submission”, all Muslims (one who “submits”) must submit to Allah and to the doctrine of Islam.  Submission is the opposite of freedom. Freedom through submission is a popular concept in cults, and in totalitarian states and in cultures that believe all cultures are of equal value, merit, and importance (like ours). For those who submit, or who are born into submission to Islam, attempted escape or non-compliance with the rules of Islam can have dire consequences.

Submission is encouraged and required, denial of submission is a death sentence. Two young people in Afghanistan unlucky enough to live in a Taliban-controlled area found this out recently. For every kafir, this is an instructive case. For every denier of the truth of Islam this is an impossible case because what it means is that the truth of Islam is very unpleasant and very dangerous, it is a truth that must be denied, again and again and again by those who hate the truth.

Islam is not known for its tolerance, forgiveness, or acceptance of others. Intolerance is at the core of Islam and its all-ecompassing ideology of control. Leaving Islam, leaving the collective, or disobeying the rules of Sharia are particularly serious matters.

“The consensus among Muslim scholars for a long time — for 14 centuries — was that those who leave the faith should be killed,” said terrorism expert Daveed Gartenstein-Ross.

Gartenstein-Ross has studied Islamic law extensively. He says those who convert out of Islam–especially Christians–lead a lonely and dangerous existence.

He said, “And even today, the view that apostates from Islam should not be killed — that people should be free to convert to another religion — is very much a minority view.”

Within the Islamic world there are at least 14 states that make it illegal to convert out of Islam. In at least eight of those states, it is punishable by death.(source)

Even at America’s supposedly “finest university” the horrific, intolerant idea that leaving Islam is a justifiable death sentence can be found, and only last week! The Islamic Chaplain at Harvard supports this concept. Why? Because it is in the doctrine, and since the doctrine is perfect and absolute he is doing what he is supposed to do as a practicing Muslim- submit to the doctrine of Allah and Mohammed. (”It is clear quite clear that under Islamic Law an apostate must be put to death. There is no dispute on this ruling among classical Muslim or modern scholars.”-Ibn Warraq)

“In a private e-mail to a student last week, Abdul-Basser wrote that there was “great wisdom (hikma) associated with the established and preserved position (capital punishment [for apostates]) and so, even if it makes some uncomfortable in the face of the hegemonic modern human rights discourse, one should not dismiss it out of hand.(source)”

Early in April it was reported that a young couple was executed by a Taliban Sharia court in Afghanistan for attempting to elope. Some reports stated the young woman’s age at 14. “Officials said they were shot by a firing squad outside the mosque in Lokhi, the village where they had lived.”(source, UPI)

The Guardian (UK) states, “Officials from the south-western province of Nimroz say Gul Pecha, in her late teens, and her boyfriend Abdul Aziz, 21, were shot by a firing squad outside a mosque in their home village of Lokhi on Monday.” The execution of these young people is the action of a Sharia court, “who held them for four days in Lokhi’s mosque before putting them on trial” (The Globe UK). This case is illustrative of the cruelty of Islam, the denial of individual freedoms and the savagery of Sharia law. (This case is covered extensively in international media, one could not make up such things.)

It is important not to dimiss this horror as the action of extremists.

The Taliban is comprised of Pakistanis and Afghanis who are considered the true “Mujahideen” or “holy warriors of Allah” because they have established a purely Islamic state which rigidly conforms to the “pious Muslim ideals” which were outlined and set down by Prophet Mohammed. (source)

Islam is about control, a deep, pervasive, obsessive control of all Muslims everywhere, and the desire to control all non-believers. This is a political ideology, a unified brutal way of life. This is totalitarianism.

“…for all its pretensions about ideology and doctrine, militant Islam is first and foremost about power. It is totalitarianism, not ideology. It is the Communism of this era.” (source)

Throughout history there have been totalitarian movements, cruel and harsh systems of total control. Nothing comes close to the all-encompassing desire for control of Islam.

The Greek historian Thucydides, writing about the calamitous war that had destroyed his own world, made an important observation about the causes of historical events: Even though circumstances may change, human nature remains the same…(source)

H.L. Mencken the great American journalist, editor, and iconoclast once said about the Puritans, that Puritanism was “the haunting fear that someone, somewhere, may be happy.” The desire for control of others and the capability to deny truth are two of the more unfortunate components of human nature. In Islam, doctrinally acceptable “happiness” is the only acceptable form. The leader of the Islamic Revolution in Iran, Ayatollah Khomeini proved the point; no fun of any kind is allowed.

Allah did not create man so that he could have fun. The aim of creation was for mankind to be put to the test through hardship and prayer. An Islamic regime must be serious in every field. There are no jokes in Islam. There is no humour in Islam. There is no fun in Islam. There can be no fun or joy in whatever is serious.

 

Ayatollah Ruholla Khomeini, radio sermon, 1979. (source)

The murder of the young couple by the Taliban occured because two young people wanted to find happiness outside of Islam. Hugh Fitzgerald laid out the truth of Islam in a superb article in Jihad Watch recently.

Islam is the most regulating of all faiths. It’s a Total Belief-System. It tells its adherents what to do, and does not suggest but rather offers a complete list of what is Prohibited, and what is Commanded. It does not offer room for possible autonomous moral judgment, for at every step one is discouraged from one’s own questioning, is told to be “a slave of Allah” and to realize that whatever Allah wills must not be questioned.”

Fitzgerald shows clearly that Islam is so attractive to so many because adherents are never required to make moral choices, they are all made already. Islam is the perfect cult.

The mistake that the two unfortunate lovers in Afghanistan made is that they thought that they had some leeway to make decisions for themselves. They did not. They thought that they could make moral and ethical decisions about their own lives themselves; they were wrong. In Islam, there is no room for such things. Anything that is contrary to Islam is offensive to Islam, and must be quashed.

“One submits, one never questions, one never has an occasion to exercise moral sense. And far from being a faith that allows for individual autonomy, Islam is a collectivist faith. One’s sole duty is to Islam. In Islam, it is perhaps most accurate to say that neither Allah nor even Muhammad, that exemplary Perfect Man, is being worshipped, but rather Islam itself. Yes, in Islam one worships….Islam.” (Fitzgerald)

Denial is a very popular philosophy in America in 2009. Its greatest proponents are our political and religious leaders, our uninformed scholars, and the rapidly failing establishment media.

Denial of Islam is taught in the public schools and called “history” or “politics” or “international relations”. The doctrine of Islam is not taught, nor is the history of jihad.

When it comes to Islam and understanding it we are in complete denial as a society. Bill Warner in a March, 2009 interview described this embrace of ignorance as the “NewState”.

The Newstate prohibits the study of political Islam in the Universities. The role of Islam in the history of slavery, the dhimmi (unbelievers living under Islamic rule) history, and the annihilation of kafir (unbeliever) civilizations is forbidden. The curriculum of the Universities only includes small samples from the Koran, the Sira (Mohammed’s biography) and the Hadith (his traditions).

Even after 9/11, Beslan, Mumbai, London, Paris, Madrid, Khobar Towers, Kenya, and daily events around the world (here, here, here) that illustrate the implementation of Islamic doctrine and the true nature of the so-called “religion of peace” we sustain our denial.

As a culture we are the characters in history who say “It is not so”, when the survivors of a critical battle return home to warn their countrymen to rise and defend their homes, their country and their lives. Our denial empowers an existentially destructive ideology.

“In July 1942, he, his first wife and their 12 year old daughter lived in the Warsaw Ghetto. ‘I knew what was happening,’ he said.  ‘Many people knew, but most of them wanted to pretend they didn’t.  I knew for certain because, only ten days before, I was finally taken (August 27, 1942), a young man called Friedmann came back from Treblinka hidden under rags. His escape had been carefully arranged so as to have somebody come back to bring us the truth; to warn us. But nobody believed him. It was perfectly extraordinary. But I did.’” (Another source tells how this young man besought the ghetto elders to believe him and how finally they said he was overwrought and needed a rest which they would arrange for him in the ghetto clinic…).” (Sereny, Into That Darkness, p.257, Vintage Books/Random House (1974, 1st Random House edition, 1983))

As we embrace this false peace between Islam and our society (and the West), and lies of a false history and fake present we step aside from the flow of history and are passed by.

Our strongest desire is that Islam is not what its detractors say it is; that the doctrine cannot be real; that Muslims want to assimilate; that Islam is a friend to America. These are the foundations of our denial as a society, the falsehoods that we so desperately want to be true.

We are in denial, none of it is true.

April 3rd, 2009 by admin

Late last month a Palestinian youth orchestra based in the West Bank town of Jenin was disbanded. This was not done without cause. As music is considered the language of peace and understanding – the universal language – something egregious must have occurred. Perhaps there was some mismanagement, some inappropriate behavior, some “misappropriation” of orchestra funds? No.

For the supporters of the orchestra what happened was far worse. What the orchestra had done was something so appalling so horrific to the community from which the orchestra came that the enterprise itself was forever ruined.

For what they had done there could be no forgiveness. The orchestra of Palestinian youth had performed a concert for Jewish Holocaust survivors in Israel.

In the upside-down world of the Palestinian Authority this is an unforgivable sin, a politicized event that undermines the existence of the Palestinian Authority, of Fatah, of the entire world view of the majority of the Palestinian people. For “punishment,” the leader of the orchestra was deported to Israel from the West Bank.

Music is the universal language, except in Islam

JENIN, West Bank (AP) — Authorities in an impoverished Palestinian refugee camp have shut down a youth orchestra, boarded up its rehearsal studio and banned its conductor from the camp after she took 13 young musicians to perform for Holocaust survivors in Israel, an official said Sunday.

Conductor Wafa Younes took the children from her Strings of Freedom orchestra to sing songs of peace last week as part of an annual Good Deeds Day organized by Israel’s richest woman. But once parents and leaders back in West Bank’s Jenin refugee camp realized where the group had been, they shut down the program, saying Younes had dragged the children into a political issue.

The discord highlights both the distrust many Palestinians have of any engagement with Israel, as well as their reluctance to acknowledge Jewish historical suffering because of concerns that it weakens their own claim to this disputed land. (See link above for more.)

The Holocaust is a serious political matter in the Islamic world, especially in the Palestinian Authority. Why? Because acknowledgment of the suffering of Jews humanizes Jews, and puts the existence of the State of Israel into an historical context that is intolerable for the jihadists of the PA.

These allegations are part of a central antisemitic motif in the Koran which decrees an eternal curse upon the Jews (Koran 2:61/ reiterated at 3:112) for slaying the prophets and transgressing against the will of Allah. It should be noted that Koran 3:112 is featured in the pre-amble to Hamas’ foundational Covenant.  This central motif is coupled to Koranic verses 5:60, and 5:78, which describe the Jews transformation into apes and swine (5:60), or simply apes, (i.e. verses 2:65 and 7:166), having been “…cursed by the tongue of David, and Jesus, Mary’s son” (5:78). Muhammad himself repeats this Koranic curse in a canonical hadith (Sunan Abu Dawoud, Book 37, Number 4322). And the related verse, 5:64, accuses the Jews-as Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas did in a January 2007 speech, citing Koran 5:64-of being “spreaders of war and corruption,” a sort of ancient Koranic antecedent of The Protocols of the Elders of Zion.

The centrality of the Jews’ permanent “abasement and humiliation,” and being “laden with God’s anger” in the corpus of Muslim exegetic literature on Koran 2:61/3:112, is clear. By nature deceitful and treacherous, the Jews rejected Allah’s signs and prophets, including Isa, the Muslim Jesus. Classical Koranic commentators when discussing Koran 5:82, which includes the statement (”Thou wilt surely find the most hostile of men to the believers are the Jews..”), concur on the unique animus of the Jews towards the Muslims, which is repeatedly linked to the curse of  Koran 2:61/3:112. (Bostom, American Thinker)

The leadership there have been very determined to paint the Holocaust in just the right context so that the children can learn the right lessons, and continue the jihad against Israel and the Jews. It’s difficult to do jihad against people with whom one has sympathy or empathy. So the PA, aided by the doctrine of Islam, does everything it can to make sure that the Jewish people of Israel are never humanized – empathy is an evil in the Orwellian world of the PA and the wider Islamic world.

The doctrine of Islam supports this hard-hearted approach to the kafirs, the unbelievers. All followers of Islam are warriors in jihad for Allah – fighters with moral compunctions and empathy for the unbelievers might turn out not so effective. This cannot be allowed to happen.

The PA has used the tools of authority since its inception to dehumanize and demonize the Jews of Israel. This is pure Islamic doctrine, there is nothing new here but the context and the technology.

Those aware of the Holocaust’s role in PA media, culture, and education will not be surprised by any of this, and a handy summary is available here. For instance (source):

• PA TV has asserted that the Nazis did not specifically plan to kill Jews and that the term Holocaust refers to experiences of Palestinians and Gypsies.
• A PA crossword puzzle matches “Yad Vashem” (the Holocaust memorial museum in Jerusalem) with “the Jewish Center for eternalizing the Holocaust and the lies.”
• PA educational TV has taught that Dachau and Auschwitz were disinfection sites.
• The official PA daily Al-Hayat Al-Jadida wrote that “The Jews transformed what people think is the smoke of their burnt bodies into…a hen laying golden eggs.”

This kind of callousness, cruelty on such a large scale, is foreign to most westerners. Islam’s hatred of the kafir (unbelievers) has been discussed at length in other posts and is a central lesson of the Islamic doctrine. Islam is at war forever and everywhere with unbelievers. All Muslims are to do jihad for Allah and Islam. Those who die in jihad have fulfilled the highest purposes of the Islamic doctrine – expansion of Islam and the destruction and conquest of all non-Islamic cultures and political structures whereever they may be.  We have seen since 9/11 beheadings of Americans and other westerners (all kafirs) by Islamists in Iraq and elsewhere. We say, how can this be; how can these people be so heartless, so cruel? The answer is in the doctrine of Islam.

There are three components of the doctrine of  Islam: the Koran (word of Allah), the Hadiths (stories of Mohammed told by contemporaries), and the Sunna (the life of Mohammed). The version of Hadith considered most authoritative is Sahih Bukari. It is from Bukari’s Hadiths that an understanding of the cruelty of the PA, the callousness of its leadership, and the miseducation of its people can be found. But this need not be limited to the PA; all of Islam is required to obey the lessons of Mohammed as found in the triumverate doctrine. All of Islam is therefore callous, as this is what the doctrine of Islam commands.

Mohammed commands that women mourning at funerals are not to cry. No crying at funerals. Mohammed was quite clear on this point. When told that the women would not listen to him, he ordered his followers to fill their mouths with dust so that they would obey. No crying at funerals. The followers must never cry, only Mohammed may shed tears at funerals.

Bukhari Hadith
http://www.iiu.edu.my/deed/hadith/bukhari/023_sbt.html
Volume 2, Book 23, Number 386:
Narrated ‘Aisha:
When the Prophet got the news of the death of Ibn Haritha, Ja’far and Ibn Rawaha he sat down and looked sad and I was looking at him through the chink of the door. A man came and told him about the crying of the women of Ja’far. The Prophet ordered him to forbid them. The man went and came back saying that he had told them but they did not listen to him. The Prophet (p.b.u.h) said, “Forbid them.” So again he went and came back for the third time and said, “O Allah’s Apostle! By Allah, they did not listen to us at all.” (’Aisha added): Allah’s Apostle ordered him to go and put dust in their mouths. I said, (to that man) “May Allah stick your nose in the dust (i.e. humiliate you)! You could neither (persuade the women to) fulfill the order of Allah’s Apostle nor did you relieve Allah’s Apostle from fatigue. ”
 
Volume 2, Book 23, Number 390:
Narrated Anas bin Malik:
We went with Allah’s Apostle (p.b.u.h) to the blacksmith Abu Saif, and he was the husband of the wet-nurse of Ibrahim (the son of the Prophet). Allah’s Apostle took Ibrahim and kissed him and smelled him and later we entered Abu Saif’s house and at that time Ibrahim was in his last breaths, and the eyes of Allah’s Apostle (p.b.u.h) started shedding tears. ‘Abdur Rahman bin ‘Auf said, “O Allah’s Apostle, even you are weeping!” He said, “O Ibn ‘Auf, this is mercy.” Then he wept more and said, “The eyes are shedding tears and the heart is grieved, and we will not say except what pleases our Lord, O Ibrahim ! Indeed we are grieved by your separation.”

As Mohammed was a military commander, a politician, and a warlord as well as the leader of his disciples rigid discipline, rigid emotional discipline would be very useful. Followers, all obligated to do  jihad, who could suppress their emotions, who could control their sorrow, stop their tears would be excellent fighters for the cause. 

But there is some confusion added by another hadith:

Narrated ‘Abdullah bin ‘Ubaidullah bin Abi Mulaika:

One of the daughters of ‘Uthman died at Mecca. We went to attend her funeral procession. Ibn ‘Umar and Ibn Abbas were also present. I sat in between them (or said, I sat beside one of them. Then a man came and sat beside me.) ‘Abdullah bin ‘Umar said to ‘Amr bin ‘Uthman, “Will you not prohibit crying as Allah’s Apostle has said, ‘The dead person is tortured by the crying of his relatives.?” Ibn Abbas said, “Umar used to say so.” Then he added narrating, “I accompanied Umar on a journey from Mecca till we reached Al-Baida. There he saw some travelers in the shade of a Samura (A kind of forest tree). He said (to me), “Go and see who those travelers are.” So I went and saw that one of them was Suhaib. I told this to ‘Umar who then asked me to call him. So I went back to Suhaib and said to him, “Depart and follow the chief of the faithful believers.” Later, when ‘Umar was stabbed, Suhaib came in weeping and saying, “O my brother, O my friend!” (on this ‘Umar said to him, “O Suhaib! Are you weeping for me while the Prophet said, “The dead person is punished by some of the weeping of his relatives?” Ibn Abbas added, “When ‘Umar died I told all this to Aisha and she said, ‘May Allah be merciful to Umar. By Allah, Allah’s Apostle did not say that a believer is punished by the weeping of his relatives. But he said, Allah increases the punishment of a non-believer because of the weeping of his relatives.” Aisha further added, “The Quran is sufficient for you (to clear up this point) as Allah has stated: ‘No burdened soul will bear another’s burden.’ ” (35.18). Ibn Abbas then said, “Only Allah makes one laugh or cry.” Ibn Umar did not say anything after that.

Reviewing #375, we see that Aisha, Mohammed’s favorite wife, said that the other hadiths on the same subject were incorrect and that Mohammed meant that only unbelievers would be punished by weeping at a relative’s funeral. According to Aisha’s interpretation the unbelievers would be punished by Allah if they weep for a relative. Even in the confusion is callousness, callousness for the kafir (the unbelievers) that they are denied sorrow and mourning for their loved ones. The text is clear, kafirs are punished for their humanity, for their sorrows. The previous hadiths are to control the jihadists, those who submit while the hadith above promises Allah’s wrath for the unbelievers who weep for their losses. Allah controls tears and sorrow and everything else; Islam is “submission”. “Only Allah makes one laugh or cry.” In all events, the kafir is the victim – this is the way of Islam. 

Suppression of emotions is a classic form of group control (and self-control) that has been used for centuries. We see jihadists do the cruelest things; we saw the brutality of the Mumbai attacks during which Allah and Islam were invoked again and again as the cause and purpose of the horror. We know this because the phone conversations between the killers and their jihadist handlers in Pakistan were intercepted and recorded.

“WE HAVE three foreigners, including women from Singapore and China,” a terrorist says into his mobile phone. “Kill them,” is the reply.

Doctrinal Callousness

People everywhere are entitled to their religious beliefs, this is the idea of God and the worship of God. Islam is a political system as well as a religion and that is the issue. Islam’s relationship with unbelievers is endless warfare, endless conflict and jihad. Jihad for Islam is commanded to all Muslims everywhere, forever. This is the doctrine of Islam.

After several generations of indoctrination by the authorities of the PA in the West Bank and Gaza we see the results. The results are not good for those who value civilization and freedom, but they are very good for those who do jihad for Islam. Followers of this extreme and cruel ideology know their purpose, and act.

Islam has become a set of fundamentals which preach social segregation, hatred of non-Muslims and elimination of dissenters through dominance, death and destruction. These conclusions, no matter how true, cannot be palatable to the Muslims and therefore rank as fabrications, from their standpoint. I can do no better than quote from the Koran to decide the issue. Examine the following for yourself:

1. “Do not let non-Muslims enter mosques. They will go to hell.” ( Repentance: 17 )
2. “O ye who believe! The non-Muslims are unclean. So let them not come near the Inviolable Place of Worship.” (Repentance: 28)
3. “O ye who believe! Murder those of the disbelievers …. and let them find harshness in you.” (Repentance: 123)
4. “Humiliate the non-Muslims to such an extent that they surrender and pay tribute.” (Repentance: 29)
5. “O believers, do not treat your fathers and brothers as your friends, if they prefer unbelief to belief, whosoever of you takes them for friends, they are evil-doers.” (Repentance: 20)
6. “Certainly, God is an enemy to the unbelievers.” ( The Cow: 90 )
7. “God has cursed the unbelievers, and prepared for them a blazing hell.” ( The Confederates 60 )
8. “Let not the believers take the unbelievers for friends…. whoso does that belongs not to God.” (The House of Imram: 60)
9. “O believers, do not make friends with the Jews and Christians; ..whoso of you makes them his friend is one of them.” (The Table: 55)
10. “The believers indeed are brothers.” ( Apa rtments: 10 )
11. “Moslems are hard against the unbelievers, merciful to one another.” (Victory: 25) (Source)

People who have Islams’s doctrine as their guide who believe it is their duty to kill unbelievers and treat them with a callousness that is unimaginable in our culture are the perfect soldiers of jihad and the expansion of Islam.

• A terrorist on Thursday (April 2) infiltrated Bat Ayin in the Gush Etzion region of the West Bank and killed Shlomo Nativ, a 13-year-old Israeli boy, by striking him in the head with an axe. [1] (Source)

The cruelty and callousness of adherents to Islam who do their ideology’s jihad as they are commanded knows no bounds and continues to bring us fresh assaults daily.  Only today an apparent American is shown on an Islamist video posted on the internet fighting with an alqaeda group in Somalia, jihad. People do horrible things because the doctrine of Islamic tells them to.

Another English speaker does not appear on the tape but raps over a track of Islamic devotional songs.

“Bomb by bomb, blast by blast, only going to bring back the glorious past,” the man chants atonally. “Mortar by mortar, shell by shell, I’m only gonna stop when I send them to hell.”

Ben Venzke, director of IntelCenter, the U.S. contractor that tracks extremist propaganda, told the AP that the video appears to be authentic.

Recognition of this threat is critically important to the survival of the west and of freedom everywhere. Jihad is the core principal of the expansion of Islam across the world at the expense of kafirs everywhere. The doctrine is clear, the followers are following. Learn the doctrine, knowledge is power.

Recently an elderly widow in Saudi Arabia, our ally and leading supplier of oil, was sentenced to 40 lashes for “mingling” with two men who are not her relatives. The assumption on the part of the Islamic authorities is that any woman in the company of men who are not related must be doing something “inappropriate”. But this is a kind “take” on the matter.

In actuality this abomination, for which Saudi Arabia should be universally condemned, is Sharia law in action. The implementation of Sharia law across the world is the goal of Islamists and jihadists everywhere.

Spreading of Sharia is in the doctrine of the Koran, Sira, and Hadith; Islam must rule the world. You’ve heard of the terms Dar al-Harb and Dar al-Islam? Dar al-Harb is the “House of War”; this is the condition of those sections of the planet Earth that are not under Islamic rule. War against kafirs (unbelievers) forever and universal is a fundamental component and commandment of political Islam. Dar al-Islam is the “House of Peace”.

Interestingly, for us kafirs, is how do we get from the house of war to the house of peace? The only way to get to the so-called “House of Peace” is to be ruled by Islam. For kafirs this means conversion, death, or dhimmitude (semi-slavery).

So, everywhere that is not under Islam is forever at war with Islam and its adherents, and whereever Islam is in control, that is the “House of Peace”.

In the so-called “House of Peace” whose capitol must certainly be the Saudi kingdom, old women are lashed for associating with men who are not their relatives. This is not any concept of “civilization” or “justice” that anyone in the West, male of female can possibly comprehend let alone condone.

Sharia law is contrary to universally understood concepts of human rights, contrary to the rights of women; it is anti-Jew, anti-Christian, anti-all unbelievers (kafirs).

The idea of a “legal system” mandating the torture of an elderly widow because she is out of line with the impossible (and impossible to believe) mandates of a brutal and oppressive political ideology is almost too much to believe.

Even the New York Times has covered this shocking story.

A 75-year-old widow living in Saudi Arabia has been sentenced to 40 lashes and four months in jail for mingling with two young men who are not close relatives, her lawyer said Monday. The newspaper Al Watan said the woman, Khamisa Sawadi, met with two 24-year-old men in April after she asked them to bring five loaves of bread to her home. The two men, her nephew and his business partner, were arrested by the religious police after delivering the bread, the newspaper said. They were also sentenced to lashes and imprisonment. The verdict against Ms. Sawadi, a Syrian who was married to a Saudi, also orders her deportation after her sentence is served. Her lawyer said he would appeal. <more>

There is one letter to the editor on this story that the NYT has posted online. It is worthy of our appreciation and our attention. People who know the truth of political Islam, who see the abhorrent things that followers of this cruel and violent ideology do under Sharia, cannot but understand that Sharia and political Islam itself are existential threats to us all. History shows this, and our daily experience of the banality, cruelty, and anti-civilizational actions of the followers of this astoundingly cruel and violent ideology of hatred and misogyny can only awaken people across the planet to this growing threat.

Re “Saudi Arabia: Lashes for Widow, 75” (World Briefing, March 10):

Where is the outrage over the sentencing of a 75-year-old widow in Saudi Arabia to 40 lashes and four months in jail for an innocuous meeting with a couple of young men, one of whom was her nephew?

Saudi Arabia’s scabrous treatment of women is indefensible. For all its wealth, it is a primitive country. There should be an immediate public outcry, and the United States should threaten to boycott its oil if this sentence isn’t rescinded.

This is the Salem witch hunt of the 21st century. It should not be condoned with silence. <Post can be read here.>

Bill Warner and the indefatigable staff of researchers and editors at PoliticalIslam.com have done a great service for kafirs everywhere. A kafir is a non-Muslim. Political Islam is very clear in how kafirs are to be treated. This dualism of one set of ethics for Muslims and quite another for non-Muslims is one of the foundational components of the ideology of Political Islam. Because Islam has a different and oppressive/violent approach to non-believers Islam is a political ideology.

Its doctrine of Koran, Sunna, and Hadith require total submission to Islam for adherents and dhimmitude/semi-slavery and cultural annhilation for non-Muslims. Women, in particular, have a very unpleasant life under Islam. See an excellent article here about the oppression of women in Islam.

For Jews, Christians, Buddhists, Hindus, and all non-Muslims history is rife with oppression and conquest of non-Muslims by political Islam. Unfortunately, in our universities and schools this doctrine of conquest and cruelty is not taught nor is the political ideology and history of warfare, brutality and oppression of 1400 years of Muslim expansion.

While this history and political ideology is ignored and remains largely unknown, the same violence and oppression continues today, every day.

PoliticalIslam.com has several Bulletins documenting the current activities of political Islam. These reports are disturbing and frightening, but they are a wake up call to us all. Every week these bulletins will arrive in your mailbox – you will react with horror… and then, anger. But you will know the truth, every week.

We must not let this happen in our own United States of America. Register for these bulletins at PoliticalIslam.com. Send them to everyone you know. Thank you Bill Warner and your associates.
