Taqiya and Duality are two of the most important concepts for all unbelievers, kafirs, to understand about the doctrine of Islam and the inconceivably horrible atrocities that are commited in its name.
The concept of duality is foundationally important to understanding Islam. Islam has a dual code of ethics and logic. This is diametrically opposed to our unitary logic. In unitary logic, which is the logic of the West, in a scenario of a contradiction only one side of the contradiction can be true. So, in symbolic logic, you would say that A and NOT A are contradictory and both cannot be true; either A is true or NOT A is true; both cannot be true.
This is unitary logic. Unitary logic is the foundation of the scientific method and rational thinking. This is not however the logic of political Islam.
Islamic logic is dualistic. In symbolic logic, you would illustrate duality by saying that both A and its opposite, NOT A, are both TRUE. This is impossible in a unitary logic understanding of reality. It is also contrary to the fundamentals of reason and science.
For example, in Islam adherents of the doctrine (those who submit to Allah and Mohammed) can say that Islam is a “religion of peace” because, in their concept of the term “peace”, insofar as it is laid out in the doctrine, Islam can be described as a religion of peace. The important point that such an assertion neglects is that “peace” in the Islamic concept of the term can be arrived at ONLY through the nonexistence of the kafir, or unbeliever. This means that Islam is at war with every nonbeliever everywhere on this planet forever until everyone is either a dhimmi or a believer (or dead). This means that both statements in dualistic Islamic logic– Islam is a religion of peace, and Islam is a religion of conquest, warfare, violence, and intolerance, are BOTH true.
When we see horrible atrocities committed in the name of Islam; when we see jihadists quoting doctrine as they behead a kafir; when we see churches burned in Iraq and Christians being driven out of that country by the thousands; when we see brutal torture of gays in Baghdad; this is all jihad. Jihad is the obligation of all adherents of the “religion of peace”. Jihad is the violent opposition to all those who do not accept Allah and Muhammad. The Koran calls Jihad “fighting in Allah’s cause”. This phrase occurs over 150 times in the Koran. It is one of the central concepts of Islam. Death in Jihad is the ONLY promise of a direct route to paradise with all its promised virgins (rivers of honey, and young boys, too) in the doctrine.
Taqiya, or sacred deception, is often used to portray a false vision of what Islam is. It is always practiced in Interfaith dialogue sessions which are always dawa sessions (conversion sessions) for adherents of Islam. Taqiya allows adherents to give a false perception of Islam to the kafir by not giving the full story and by withholding information, and by twisting the reality of Islam so that the Kafir is fooled. Adherents are commanded by Allah to falsify the doctrine of Islam to the Kafir. When the kafir does not understand the reality of Islam, the kafir cannot mount a defense or respond. This is why conquered peoples, the dhimmis, are not allowed to study the Koran. The lies of taqiya, backed by the duality of Islamic logic, has the effect of paralyzing those who would oppose Islam. Taqiya allows the adherent to say, essentially, anything they wish to a kafir on any subject. But most importantly, adherents deceive kafirs about the truth of Islam, its history, and its purpose which is jihad and the destruction of kafirs (and their conversion to Islam).
No treaty, no obligation, is binding to an adherent when it is made with a Kafir. This is Sunna of Muhammad.
Taqiya allows the adherent to hide the fact that the peaceful facade of Islam is truly a mask which hides the reality of Islam which is worldwide conquest until the entire world is under Islam.
You will never hear this truth of Islam from an adherent except from a Jihadist. Jihadis know that Islam is on the rise and that the west is weak, etc. When they hold their signs in Europe that say, “Islam will dominate the World”, they are telling the truth of their intentions; when their signs say, “We love Hitler”, or “The Holocaust is coming Jews!” believe them. They know their doctrine and believe themselves to be good Muslims. When the doctrine of Islam is known and understood it is clear that they (jihadists) are in fact good, observant Muslims – faithful adherents to the doctrine and commands of Allah and Mohammed.
War, according to Muhammad, is deception. (Jihad is war against the unbeliever.) Taqiya, because it allows the adherent to deceive the unbeliever, is a form of Jihad. The purpose of Jihad is to conquer and convert the kafirs everywhere until all the world accepts Allah as the only god, Islam as the only religion and political system, and Mohammed as his prophet.
Our western judaeo-christian concepts of morality are diametrically contrary to Islamic doctrine. We reject the concept of dualistic logic and ethics. We believe in the idea of the family of humanity. Islam does not believe in a family of humanity. In Islam, there is the Umma and there is the Kafir. The Kafir is outside the Umma (the community of believers anywhere in the world) therefore, the kafir is the enemy. The doctrine is clear on these points.
There is no peace with Islam. There is only a pause between battles (hudna). There are no treaties of peace that are worth anything with Islam. A treaty is a tool of war to jihad; not a tool of peace.
The idea of engaging with Islam in the Western rationalist unitary way in which the concepts of Right and Wrong are the foundations of the debate is a failure. There are no moral concepts in the Islamic doctrine (in the way that westerners understand morality)– there is only what is allowed by Allah and Muhammad and that which is forbidden. There is no morality associated - in any way that we understand morality to be – with these injunctions or commands. Essentially, in Islam, what is allowed is moral, and what is forbidden is immoral.
Taqiya (sacred deception of the unbeliever) is both allowed and commanded, and is therefore in the internal logic of Islamic doctrine moral. Because Allah and Mohammad command all adherents to be involved in Jihad forever war against the kafir is considered, in Islam, a moral absolute good. Unfortunately for the non-believer, there are no taboos in Jihad. So, when you see jihadists killing, beheading, torturing, and doing all manner of cruelty to Christians, Jews, Hindus, or any non-believer (and simultanteously quoting doctrine) the jihadist firmly believes that he/she is a moral, upstanding, devout muslim surely on his way to paradise. According to his own doctrine of Koran, Sira, and Hadith he is on the correct path. This path has an end point. Jihad ends only with our destruction.
Nazis followed Sunna in killing kafir Jews
Hijab is a symbol of the subjugation of women - it is not freedom but its opposite. This is taqiya.
Jews are unbelievers - Allah and Mohammed hate the Jews - It is written in the Koran. This is Jihad.
"Believers, take neither Jews nor Christians for your friends." (Surah 5:51); Narrated Abu Huraira: Allah's Apostle said, “The Hour will not be established until you fight with the Jews, and the stone behind which a Jew will be hiding will say. 'O Muslim! There is a Jew hiding behind me, so kill him.'” Bukhari Vol. 4, Book 52, Num. 177 also 179 and 180.
Taqiya – Islam is the “religion of peace”; Truth – It isn’t. The great sin of Islam is not murder it is being an unbeliever, or leaving Islam, ‘Whoever changes his Islamic religion, kill him’ Hadith – Sahih Al-Bukhari (9:57)
I finished reading the Koran on Sunday afternoon, no “beauty” was found.
I read Abridged Koran (from the Center for the Study of Political Islam). The Koran is organized non-chronologically; it goes from largest chapter to the smallest. The result of this “organization” is that everything in the Koran is without context; events come and go, people come and go without any contextual logic. In addition, there is extensive repetition so that stories are told again and again, with slight variations. This means that the Koran in its original form is almost impossible to understand; not so with the Abridged Koran.
Muslim clerics often assert that the Koran cannot be understood except in the original classical Arabic, but Dr. Puin [a noted German Koranic scholar] maintains that much of the book is unclear, even to Arabic scholars:
“The Koran claims for itself that it is ‘mubeen,’ or ‘clear,’“ [Puin] says. “But if you look at it, you will notice that every fifth sentence or so simply doesn’t make sense. Many Muslims — and Orientalists — will tell you otherwise, of course, but the fact is that a fifth of the Koranic text is just incomprehensible. This is what has caused the traditional anxiety regarding translation. If the Koran is not comprehensible — if it can’t even be understood in Arabic — then it’s not translatable. People fear that. And since the Koran claims repeatedly to be clear but obviously is not — as even speakers of Arabic will tell you — there is a contradiction. Something else must be going on.” (Source: Gates of Vienna)
The Abridged Koran is the only Koran that has eliminated the extensive repetition of stories and linked the text with the biography of Mohammed, the Sira. Most importantly, this Koran is in chronological order. This means that the Koran is understandable from a chronological perspective and is easy to read; this is not to say that reading the Koran is a pleasurable experience; it wasn’t.
Defenders of Islam must read the Koran and build their defenses of Islam around the Koran and the two other books of the Islamic doctrine trilogy, the Hadith and the Sira. There is no other foundation upon which to discuss Islam other than the doctrine and the things that Muslims do on account of it. Most defenders have not read the Koran. If they had read the Koran they would find it difficult to defend because it is such a shattering book to read. For a non-believer there is nothing in the Koran that is defensible.
I could only read it in segments of an hour or less. For a kafir the Koran is mentally and emotionally exhausting.
Understanding that this document is the core of the doctrine of over one billion people is an astounding and deeply disturbing revelation. Reading the Koran is as shattering an experience as learning that the earth is not flat, or that some deeply held foundational beliefs about the world are wrong.
When I reached the end of the Koran I realized that everything that occurs in the world of Islam is because of the Koran and the doctrine trilogy. What this means for unbelievers is deeply disturbing as it means that we are at war with an ideology that is a diabolical as Nazism and even more cruel. The Nazis planned destruction for the Jews and were clear on this point in their own foundational document, Mein Kampf. The Koran does not limit itself to Jews alone, though there is a special deep hatred for Jews in the Koran; rather the Koran and Islam is at war with all unbelievers (the kafir) everywhere and forever. War against the kafir is described in the Koran as “fighting in Allah’s cause”. All Muslims are obligated to do Jihad, even if they do not want to participate.
Murder of innocents is not the greatest sin of the Koran; unbelief and apostasy (leaving Islam) are far worse. Because unbelievers are guilty through their lack of acceptance of Allah and Islam, anything can be done to them by Muslims.
Islam is at war with kafirs because kafirs do not believe. The fact that kafirs in the west pretend that the war is not real is irrelevent only to the dreaming kafirs, nothing about Islam is relevant; to Islam it is an ally in jihad.
Islam’s purpose is to bring the unbelievers into Islam, out of their criminal “ignorance” as the Koran puts it. If kafirs refuse to accept Islam they can be killed or enslaved to live as dhimmis as their cultures, countries, and religions are destroyed by Islam. Osama bin Laden specifically called the west to Islam before and after 9/11 just for this ideological purpose – when the west refuses or ignores the call to Islam anything, even mass murder, can be done to them because they are unbelievers, the worst kind of sinners in Islam. An “invitation” from Islam cannot be whimsically ignored; this is akin to the “offer that one cannot refuse” from the “mob”.
In Islamic doctrine one is a slave of Allah and of Mohammed. Mohammed is Allah’s Prophet but he has a special role. Mohammed is not just a prophet of Allah, rather he is The Prophet. The Koran puts Mohammed in a position of authority over Muslims equivalent with Allah. This is why all Muslims everywhere emulate Mohammed as the perfect human being to be modeled. Mohammed is the model for all humanity forever in the Islamic worldview.
When you see terrorists beheading kafir captives and quoting the Koran, they do this because Mohammed did this; when you see Islamists torture and kill the innocent they do this because Mohammed did; when you see Islamists kill thousands of kafirs, torture them, burn their churches and temples, and rape their women, they do this because Mohammed the perfect example for all Muslims forever did these things.
“We have prepared a blazing fire for these unbelievers who do not believe in Allah and his Messenger.” (Koran, 48:13)
As an example of moral and ethical behavior most decent people in the west would reject Mohammed as someone worhty of emulation. Not so in Islam. Mohammed is the perfect example; Mohammed killed the kafir, so today and since the inception of Islam, Muslims have done the same thing.
Koran is alive. While it lives, kafirs die.
Mohammed is the example for all Muslims to follow.
“Those who obey the Messenger, obey Allah.”
(4:79, 4:80)
“And it is not the place of a believer, either man or woman, to have a choice in his or her affairs when Allah and his Messenger have decided on a matter. Those who disobey Allah and his Messenger are clearly on the wrong path.” (33:36)
All Muslims are obligated to participate in Jihad. This is the conquest of kafirs and bringing them into Islam, very often by force. If they do not come to Islam, they are destroyed. Because the majority of the Koran is reserved for how Islam treats kafirs it is a political document. Because conquest, conversion, or death are the only options for kafirs the Koran is exceedingly dangerous for any unbeliever.
There are “five pillars” of Islam, these are religious and community-oriented (the Muslim community, not the human community). But there is much more to being a Muslim than the five pillars. The core of Koran is “fighting in Allah’s cause”.
Anyone who fights and dies in Allah’s cause will live forever in paradise with Allah. The temporal world is not the focus of the Koran, rather it is the world to come. The only assured way to get to paradise in Islam is by doing jihad (and ideally, dying in the process). Jihad is killing and enslaving kafirs. This means that Islam is in an existential war with all unbelievers wherever they may be, forever. It also means that Islam is an ideology of anti-life, death; the world to come is superior to the world we live in and the best way to get there is by killing unbelievers in jihad.
“Existential” means that our existence as individuals and as part of nations or religions or anything external to, other than, Islam is at stake. If Islam is successful, there is nothing in the world but Islam. Nothing.
“Let those who would sell the life of this world for the world to come fight for Allah’s cause. Whoever fights for Allah’s cause, whether he is killed or is victorious, We will grant him a great reward. How could you not fight for Allah’s cause?” (4:74)
“The believers fight for Allah’s cause, and the unbelievers fight for Satan. Therefore, fight against the friends of Satan. Truly Satan’s strategy is weak.” (4:76)
In Islam, all non-believers are evil and ignorant, and must be brought under Islam, enslaved or killed. The history of Islam shows that this is believed, literally. The events of today show that this ideology of war and cruelty is very much alive.
The defenders of Islam speak of the “beauty” of the Koran. I found none. There is some poetics, but it is reserved for the descriptions of unbelievers burning in hell.
“If only you could witness the angels carrying off the unbelievers’ souls!They slash their faces and backs saying, ‘Taste the torment of the fire!’” (8:49)
The real “beauty” of the koran is for the jihadists. Koran is not about our world, it is about the next, and how to get there. Unfortunately, for those who are not Muslim, the best path to paradise is by jihad, war against the kafir. We see jihad every day. Jihad is the murder of kafirs, wherever they are.
“The forgiveness and mercy they, who die or are killed for Allah’s cause, will receive from Allah will be far better than anything they could have gained. If you die or are killed, then surely you will all be gathered before Allah.” (3:157)
If the reader is, like me, a non-Muslim the Koran is not a friendly book. There is little tolerance in the Koran. The only tolerance is for Muslims, there is none for the kafir. If you are a Jew or Christian, reading the Koran is particularly unpleasant.
“Oh, believer, do not take the Jews or Christians as friends. They are but one another’s friends. If any one of you take them for his friends, he surely is one of them. Allah will not guide the evil doers.” (5:51)
One could quote the Koran for hundreds of pages to illustrate the actual message of the Koran. There is no need for this as the Koran is quite clear about its message. We in the kafir world simply choose to ignore it. This doctrine of pretending, this immature view of the world in which we pretend that the world is something other than what it is is the foundation of political correctness and multiculturalism. These two absurd concepts further the purposes of jihad. Politically correct people who prevent the truth of Islam to be disseminated are self-destructive fools, the useful idiots of jihad.
Muslims are not allowed to be friends with Christians or Jews or any unbeliever. The fate for unbelievers is hellfire, death, or conquest/conversion. So, why bother befriending such people, I suppose. But more importantly, the kafir is considered evil, ignorant, and less than human as they are outside of Islam. Anything outside of Islam is considered evil in the doctrine. This is the opposite of inclusiveness and tolerance. Those apologists and defenders of Islam who say that it is tolerant are lying or are ignorant of the doctrine, or both.
“The unbelievers among the People of the Book (Jews & Christians) and the idolators will burn for eternity in the fire of Hell. Of all the created beings, they are the most despicable.” (98:6)
The Koran is a diabolical political document that lays out a plan for the conquest of the entire world by Islam. One could put this ideology into a movie and make quite a thriller out of it, but nobody would believe it. Suspension of disbelief would not be possible as the plot would be seen as impossible, completely unrealistic. But this is exactly what is happening now in the west, total disbelief and no suspension of it. Our ignorance of Islamic doctrine furthers the cause of jihad, and undermines our ability to exist. This is cultural insanity and suicide. We do not defend ourselves against jihad because we prefer to pretend that it is not real.
This reluctance to accept the truth of the Koran and of Islam is entirely based upon ignorance of Islam and its very clear doctrine, and ignorance of jihad. The time for wishful thinking is long over.
Defense of Islam is not based upon knowledge, experience, learning, or understanding of the motivations of Islam which come entirely and without exception from the doctrine trilogy of Koran, Hadith and Sira. The Koran is diabolical because it justifies and demands death for untold millions and more. Defense of such an ideology can only be explained in two ways, ignorance or active support. In this case, ignorance of Islam and it doctrine is support of jihad and the destruction of kafirs.
Mohammed said that war is deception. Jihad is war and one of its weapons is deception. We are told that Islam is the “religion of peace” but we see in Koran that it is a religion and ideology and political system of war. It is much more than religion, it is an entire civilizational system dedicated to the destruction of all non-believers everywhere and forever.
We are told that Islam has been “hijacked” by “extremists” and that Islam is peaceful and tolerant. The only tolerance in Koran is for believers, there is no tolerance for kafirs.
The word “extremist” and “moderate” are western concepts, they are not Islamic. In the Islamic context these concepts are completely different in meaning. In Islam someone who follows Koran and participates in Jihad as commanded by Allah and Mohammed are actually moderate because they are following the law of Islam as dictated to Mohammed by Allah through the angel Gabriel.
Those non-jihadist Muslims sought out by western apologists and wishful thinker fantasists as proof that there is tolerance in Islam are outside the religion/ideology as they deny their obligation to do jihad. Failure to do jihad is antithetical to Islam; it is a sin. Jihad is required.
Non-jihadist Muslims are in apostasy and are extremists. The moderate Muslim is Osama bin Laden because he follows the doctrine; the Taliban are moderate because they follow the doctrine (in the extreme). These are the true pious followers of Mohammed.
The fact that so many millions of Pakistanis are fleeing the Taliban shows that many Muslims do not want to be jihadists. Many Muslims do not accept their doctrine. The response to the Taliban in Pakistan is cause for hope because it shows that many Muslims reject their doctrine, it also means that Muslims are victims of Islam, too, in many ways.
What are we kafirs who have read the Koran to do? Koran is the word of Allah delivered to Mohammed by the angel Gabriel, according to Islam. Criticism of the doctrine is forbidden, debate is forbidden. This is why we see rote learning of Koran and Hadith and Sira in Madrassahs all over the world because rote learning is the only way to learn the word of Allah. Can such a doctrine founded upon the word of Allah that cannot be debated or criticized be reformed? This is a great question of the moment, and the answer would appear to be “No”.
We kafirs must accept the world in which we live; accept the Koran for what it says, and take the jihadists at their word when they say they are killing unbelievers because their doctrine (Allah and Mohammed) tells them to do so. They are not lying. We just pretend that they are, or that they have misinterpreted their doctrine. They haven’t. We are unwilling to face the truth. This reluctance to learn and to know and to teach empowers jihad.
This is the ugly truth of our times – murderers and conquerors are motivated by this book to do appalling inhuman things. They believe that they are doing “God’s work”. When you read the Koran you will see that this is not possible. The work of God as we understand him is peace not wholesale cruelty, hatred, intolerance, violence, brutality, and war.
All the mysteries of terror attacks; all the warfare in the middle east; all the conflicts with Islamic states; all the brutality against Christians, Jews, Hindus, Buddhists, against all non-believers by Muslims around the world will become clear when you read the Koran.
The most important and widely discussed but rarely read book of the 1920s and 30s was Hitler’s Mein Kampf. Its sales made Hitler a wealthy man, but few who purchased the book read it though many chose (incorrectly) to defend Hitler as the “rescuer” of Germany in spite of not having read it. Had the book been widely read at home and abroad the plans of the lunatic Fuehrer for world war and for the destruction of the Jews would have been known because they were all discussed in detail in the unread Mein Kampf. Could Chamberlain have gone to Berlin and declare “peace in our time” had the majority of those in Europe read Mein Kampf?
Now, with the rise of Islamism and global jihad across the world another profoundly important book goes almost entirely unread but is widely discussed regardless, the Koran. Most discuss Islam and Koran from ignorance and wishful thinking and condemn those who have read it, understand it and ring the bell of warning about it.
There can be little confusion as to the message of the Koran. In the Koran you will find no good news.
There is no more important book in the world at this time than the Koran. It is fitting that Mein Kampf and the Koran are juxtaposed; both lay out a grand plan of global conquest and war, both involve violence, intolerance, and hatred; both are ideological political documents that present a plan for world-wide totalitarianism. The high cost of Mein Kampf is now known – in the tens of millions of victims. The ongoing cost of jihad is almost too painful to consider; the cost of Jihad since the publication of the Koran is in the hundreds of millions.
Everyday in the persecution of unbelievers across the world we see a resurgent Islam. This is the great struggle, the great jihad. They are fighting heart and soul to bring the world to Islam by any means – while we pretend it is not so. Jihadists are obeying their god and their messenger, while we ignore both and pretend that both are peaceful and tolerant. They are not.
The events of violence, hate and war coming from the Islamic world are not “hijackings” of a peaceful tolerant religion, they are the thrashings of a great beast of war. Read the Koran, you will see. When you see, you must teach others. There is nothing of more import than learning the motives of the cruelest ideology on the planet earth. An ideology whose purpose is our destruction.
Ignorance is not an option. Read the Koran. The guidebook of the world as we know it now is the Koran. It is a book without beauty, it is a book of war and horrors. We had better read it. All of us.
The late 1970s conversion to Islam of Cat Stevens, the most popular singer-songwriter in the world at the time, came as no surprise to those who followed the deep threads of searching that he wove throughout his songs. Cat had always been a searcher, searching for “something” as was the popular motif during those days.
Always searching, he finally found what he didn’t know he had been looking for, Islam. His embrace of religion was the not-surprising conclusion to his extensive songbook of yearning and searching for “something”, his selection of Islam and his subsequent and continuing embrace of jihad is a profound disappointment and a deep betrayal of the entirety of western culture and the finer concepts of love and brotherhood, forgiveness and humanity about which he so consistently wrote and sang.
For me personally, I learned the guitar because of my affection for Cat Stevens’ music. I learned his songs, playing them for hours at a time. His conversion to Islam and his embrace of Islamic domination of all others; his support of the death of Salmon Rushdie, his financial support of terrorist organizations that eventually got him placed on a US “no-fly” list was a personal disaster to me. Owning all his records, and now CDs as I do, they sit now unlistened.
But it is also a cultural disaster for the world because his music was so stunningly beautiful and so indicative of acceptance and love. I do not listen to the music of pseudo failed artists who support global jihad - neither should you.
Last week, Cat Stevens played a venue in Los Angeles for the first time in 20 years. The review in the LA Times was sycophantic, fawning, and as out-of-context as it possibly could have been. There was no mention of his Islamism, Rushdie, terrorism links, nothing. They failed to mention this:
He also courted controversy by allegedly funding charities that were fronts for the Islamic militant group Hamas. Israeli authorities have barred Islam twice from entering the country because of his alleged ties to Hamas. (source)
There were some Hollywood glitterati in attendance. There is no question, his voice is astounding, but his ethics are revolting. The Hollywood types cared not a whit.
It was an invitation-only event, potentially a prelude to an actual concert tour, and the audience was dotted with celebs, including Josh Groban, Colin Farrell, Rosanna Arquette, Cameron Crowe and Jake (Body by Jake) Steinfeld.
In the now obvious theme of journalistic ignorance, intellectual dishonesty (bias) and white-washing the “reviewer” commented that Cat Stevens, now an entirely different entity named “Yusuf Islam” was not proselytizing but was “reconnecting” with his old fans who appeared to know nothing about his new self, or don’t care. The truth is that everything “Yusuf Islam” does in public is dawa, converting people to Islam with propaganda and falsehoods.
He also made it effortless for fans to reconnect with him personally, even for those who can’t fully comprehend the scope of his conversion three decades ago to the Islamic faith. His new songs reflect a perspective of one who, unlike Bono, has found what he’s looking for spiritually, but never in a proselytizing or patronizing way. (Source: LA Times)
Mr. Stevens/Islam is now two people; he is a man with a laudable past, a man who once embraced brotherhood and peace but now an emissary of a totalitarian ideology who embraces a brutal and intolerant way of life whose purpose is global expansion and the destruction of every culture and form of religion or government that is not Islamic. This is the doctrine of Islam, and as a total believer Mr. Stevens/Islam embraces this horrific ideology in its entirety.
In 2007, Mr. Stevens/Islam received an “award” from MEDEA for his work in bridging the gap between the Arab world and Europe. Unfortunately, the Islamic concept of “peace” only includes a world in which there are no other religions; this is the concept of “dar al-Islam”. There is only “peace” where Islam reigns; everywhere else is war “dar al-harb”.
Yusuf is being awarded the prestigious award as a result of the work he has done to increase peace in the world. (Source, Gates of Vienna)
Stevens/Islam said that he has read the Koran and that is why he converted to Islam, you know, for the message of peace that he found there. He said, in August, 2005, that
The message I picked up from the Qur’an was quite different. I found the light of knowledge and godliness shining from the verses and stories, linking mankind together as one family, regardless of color, status or nationality. It told me of the wondrous universal teachings of peace and unity advocated by the greatest of educators, people such as Abraham, Moses, Jesus and others. (source)
The Salmon Rushdie affair is illustrative of the profound change that has occurred within this person formerly known as Cat Stevens. Once a global spokesman for peace, understanding, tolerance, love, and goodwill, Mr. Stevens/Islam called publicly for the death of a writer whose book he does not approve (because his new “ideology” does not approve it). This is anti-art, anti-intellectualism, anti-creativity, and anti-human, all foundational principles of the doctrine of political Islam. This is the polar opposite of what Cat Stevens used to be.
May 22, 1989: The musician known as Cat Stevens said in a British television program to be broadcast next week that rather than go to a demonstration to burn an effigy of the author Salman Rushdie, ”I would have hoped that it’d be the real thing.” …
He also said that if Mr. Rushdie turned up at his doorstep looking for help, ”I might ring somebody who might do more damage to him than he would like.”
”I’d try to phone the Ayatollah Khomeini and tell him exactly where this man is,” said Mr. Islam, who watched a preview of the program today and said in an interview that he stood by his comments. (source)
Interviewed on Larry King’s show in early October of 2004, Mr. Stevens/Islam let it “all hang out”.
“And the first thing that came so clear to me was this declaration in the belief in one God in this universe. You know, now that’s powerful. That’s powerful. Of course, in the Jewish faith, you know, that’s fairly well known but — but here, it was a universal approach. It wasn’t now, you know, if you like a racial approach where it was only owned by Arabs. The Quran was talking to me in terms of humanity. I’d never heard that before.
When I saw the name of Jesus and Moses, Abraham, along with the prophet Mohammed, of all these prophets mentioned in the Quran, that was quite startling. I never expected that.” (Larry King interview, transcript)
This is taqiyyah, sacred deception. Mr. Stevens/Islam must know that the Koran is very clear about universality, in that there isn’t any. Muslims are not allowed to befriend Jews and Christians and any unbelievers; the Jesus, Moses, and Abraham stories of the Old and New Testaments are lifted from the original holy books so that all of them are Islamic prophets in Islam. Mr. Stevens/Islam’s education in Koranic studies perhaps was not as thorough as it should have been. And, after all this time, one would think he would have done his homework and “caught up”. This is likely.
He is “caught up” now but he is no longer Cat Stevens the lover of humanity; he is now the creature “Yusuf Islam”, the perpetrator of deception and falsehoods, and the proponent of global jihad. There have been fewer more public transformations than his.
The Larry King interview performance is textbook taqiyyah.
KING: So a Muslim who commits terrorism is going totally against his faith?
ISLAM: Yes. I mean, this is obvious. And the Quran is very clear about it. You know, if you look at the teachings of Quran, which I learned when I became a Muslim, you know, what does it say? It says belief, you know, and good deeds. Well, you tell me how to do good deeds. Good deeds is prayer, it’s charity, it’s fasting, it’s speaking the truth. It’s being honest.
So you know, it’s an antithesis of what Islam stands for, and therefore, you know, we completely condemned it. It’s abhorrent.
And if you study the history of Islam — when it was correctly applied in this world, it was tolerant, there’s always the room for people of different faiths living together.
If only this were truth. It is not.
There is no tolerance in Islam for unbelievers, and little for Muslims themselves. The 1.5 million people fleeing the Taliban, the great implementers of the doctrine of Islam, is evidence of this. The doctrine is cruel and brutal to everyone, believers and unbelievers alike. Those who know it, flee.
The suggestion that Islam is tolerant is false. Islam is not tolerant of any other faith, culture or political system. Islam is a form of totalitarianism akin to Stalinism and Nazism. Mr. Stevens/Islam knows this, but he does not care. He is a believer, woe to the unbeliever. (Was “Woe to the Unbeliever” ever a Cat Stevens tune? No.)
A statistical study of Islam recently undertaken by Mr. Bill Warner shows that there is a peaceful component of Islam.
The Sirais Mohammed’s biography (sira is an Arabic word that means biography, but Sira is reserved for Mohammed) and has three versions by three authors. The most definitive is by Ibn Ishaq, Sirat Rasul Allah, translated by A. Guillaume as The Life of Muhammad….
Based upon the Sira, Islam is 2% peace, 28% argument and threats, and 70% jihad. If the Sira were a two-hour movie, then the peaceful part would last for nearly 3 minutes, the fist fights, brawls, arguments and threats would last 34 minutes and the killing would take up 83 minutes. But the movie ends with the beaten kafirs saying that they will do whatever Mohammed wants, if he will only stop the jihad. (Bill Warner, PoliticalIslam.com)
A great deal of the doctrine of Islam deals with the Jews. Islam does not like the Jews. The Jews rejected Mohammed’s prophethood, Mohammed hated them for it, so then do all Muslims. Mr. Stevens/Islam has another interpretation for those who know nothing of the matter.
KING: Does the Quran at all attack Judaism? I’ve never read the Quran, but I’ve heard this through the years that the Quran — parts of the Quran are anti-Semitic.
ISLAM: Well, I think part of the New Testament would be too if you analyze it. I mean, Jesus is reported at some point to have been correcting certain Pharisees and scribes and saying, oh you, whatever.
Of course, there are verses in the Quran which try to, if you like, correct maybe some deviations, but as far as the Jewish faith is concerned, let me tell you a verse in the Quran, a very important verse. It says: “Those who believe,” means Muslims in this case, “and those who are Judized (ph) and those Sadains (ph) and the Christians, whoever believes in God and the last day and does good works, no fear shall come upon them, neither shall they grieve.”
That is a verse of the Quran, Larry. Now, a lot of people don’t get to that part. They look at some of the sections, which, yes, they talk about certain wars which took place. Again, some of those are historical and have to be read in context. But the general principle is that there is no compulsion in religion and life is sacred, simple as that.
Islam hates all non-believers (kafirs), but reserves a special hatred for Jews. There is this “PeaceTrain” for all unbelievers, it is a train to Auschwitz:
Koran, 2:191 – And kill them wherever you find them, and drive them out from whence they drove you out, and persecution is severer than slaughter, and do not fight with them at the Sacred Mosque until they fight with you in it, but if they do fight you, then slay them; such is the recompense of the unbelievers. (source)
For the Jews, there are many doctrinal comments about killing:
Sahih Bukhari Hadith Volume 4, Book 52, Number 176: Narrated by ‘Abdullah bin ‘Umar: Allah’s Apostle said, “You (i.e. Muslims) will fight with the Jews till some of them will hide behind stones. The stones will (betray them) saying, ‘O ‘Abdullah (i.e. slave of Allah)! There is a Jew hiding behind me; so kill him.’” Sahih Bukhari Hadith Volume 4, Book 52, Number 177: Narrated by Abu Huraira: Allah’s Apostle said, “The Hour will not be established until you fight with the Jews, and the stone behind which a Jew will be hiding will say. “O Muslim! There is a Jew hiding behind me, so kill him.” (source)
Things are not much better for those who want to leave Islam. Islam is something like LaCosaNostra, or “the Company” – nobody leaves:
Koran: 4:089 – They desire that you should disbelieve as they have disbelieved, so that you might be (all) alike; therefore take not from among them friends until they fly (their homes) in Allah’s way; but if they turn back, then seize them and kill them wherever you find them, and take not from among them a friend or a helper. (source)
One wonders which Koran Mr. Stevens/Islam read when he converted to Islam. There is one Koran, wherein it says to kill Jews and hate the unbelievers and kill and hate those who want to leave Islam. There is but one God this God says the same, there can be no religion but Allah’s religion. All kafirs must convert, be enslaved, or die.
Where is the beauty in Koran? Perhaps there is some small speck left of what was Mr. Cat Stevens. Perhaps the Islamic concepts of charity are what got him so interested in Islam, interested enough to embrace its totalitarian concepts of existence. Many searchers finds absolutism attractive, this is likely what happened with Cat Stevens. It does not matter that Islam is opposed to everything he ever said, ever sang about prior to his conversion; what matters is that his searching is over, his questions (every one of them forever) are now answered, and he can rest.
You learn fasting. You learn — well, you might already be giving charity, but here you learn how to give — you have to give charity. It’s not a question of an option or a voluntary choice. You have to give charity. (Larry King interview, see above)
Islam believes in charity… but only for Muslims; the kafir, the unbeliever is not considered worthy of Islamic charity.
A person who calls himself or herself a Muslim might offer help to a kafir out of true generosity. But let’s closely examine the psychology of this event. The only way for a Muslim to give freely to a kafir is to not see him as a kafir, but as a fellow human being, an equal deserving compassion and empathy. But a kafiris not ever equal to a Muslim. Seeing humanity as one is contrary to the Islamic doctrine of kafir and believer found in the Koran. Humanity-as-one is a kafir concept, not an Islamic concept. ….
The zakat is the Islamic charity.
The zakat is to be given to eight categories: the poor, those short of money, administrative costs, those whose hearts are to be reconciled, slaves to buy their freedom, those in debt, jihadists, and travelers who need assistance. A kafir (a non-believer) is forbidden to receive money from the zakat.
So Islam, as a corporate body, does not give charity to kafirs. (Warner, PoliticalIslam.com)
What Mr. Islam has lost is his soul, what we have all lost is a great artist and humanitarian. Cat Stevens is gone, he is a wisp in YouTube movies and captured on CDs and LPs around the world. His lyrics are beautiful as are his guitar work, and singing. Mr. Stevens repudiated and abandoned the principles and moral/ethical concepts that are the foundation of his music and artistic output. So much of his lyrics talk of searching. Mr. Islam believes he is found, but he is truly lost.
Now theres a way and I know that I have to go away.
Koran, Jihad:
Koran, 3:156 – O you who believe, do not be like those who disbelieved and said of their kinsmen who traveled or mobilized for war, “Had they stayed with us, they would not have died or gotten killed.” GOD renders this a source of grief in their hearts. GOD controls life and death. GOD is Seer of everything you do. (source)
Koran, 3:157 – The forgiveness and mercy they, who die or are killed for Allah’s cause (jihad), will receive from Allah will be far better than anything they could have gained. If you die or are killed, then surely you will all be gathered before Allah.
Well, if you want to sing out, sing out
and if you want to be free be free
’cause there’s a million things to be
you know that there are, you know that there are
Qur’an (33:50) – “O Prophet! We have made lawful to thee thy wives to whom thou hast paid their dowers; and those (slaves) whom thy right hand possesses out of the prisoners of war whom Allah has assigned to thee.”
Qur’an (24:32) – “And marry those among you who are single and those who are fit among your male slaves and your female slaves…”
She must be hurt very badly.
Tell me what’s making you sadly?
Open your door, don’t hide in the dark.
You’re lost in the dark, you can trust me.

Islam, Wife Beating
Koran, 4:34 - “Men are the maintainers of women because Allah has made some of them to excel others and because they spend out of their property; the good women are therefore obedient, guarding the unseen as Allah has guarded; and (as to) those on whose part you fear desertion, admonish them, and leave them alone in the sleeping-places and beat them; then if they obey you, do not seek a way against them; surely Allah is High, Great.” (source)
Muslim (4:2127) – Muhammad struck his favorite wife, Aisha, in the chest one evening when she left the house without his permission. Aisha narrates, “He struck me on the chest which caused me pain.”
Oh, baby, baby, it’s a wild world
I’ll always remember you like a child, girl
You know i’ve seen a lot of what the world can do
And it’s breakin’ my heart in two
Because i never wanna see you a sad, girl
Don’t be a bad girl
But if you wanna leave, take good care
Hope you make a lot of nice friend out there
But just remember there’s a lot of bad and beware
Islam - Mohammed married Aisha when she was 6 years old, consummated the marriage when she was 9. In the Islamic doctrine whatever Mohammed has done, since he is the perfect example of humanity, is the right thing to do, even if it’s wrong.
Interview with Dr. Abd Al-Hamid Al-’Ubeidi, an Iraqi expert on Islamic law, which aired on Al-Rafidein TV on March 14, 2008:
Many criminals, the enemies of Islam, ask: “How could the Prophet Muhammad, at 52 years of age, marry ‘Aisha when she was only 8 years old, and consummate the marriage when she was 9 years old?” I say to them: People who live in glass houses shouldn’t throw stones. Why do you permit your young girls to fornicate? They consider it one of their liberties. Therefore, in these stupid countries, you rarely find girls aged 10 or 12 who are still virgins. They permit this. They have even legislated laws stating that if a girl is under the age of 18, and her girlfriend [sic] or whatever has had sex with her, she has the right to have an abortion. How can you permit the outcome without accepting the cause? Why do you allow your girls to have sex and say this is an individual liberty? It is okay to fornicate with girls there or force them to have sex, and so on, and they have the right to have an abortion. If you permit all this before the age [of 18], without a marriage contract and without any legal grounds – how come you forbid marriage? (source)
Everyone jump upon the peace train
Come on now peace train
Get your bags together, go bring your good friends too
Cause its getting nearer, it soon will be with you
Koran, endless war against unbelievers everywhere, universal Jihad
Koran, 2:190: – ..fight in the way of Allah with those who fight with you…[2.191] And kill them wherever you find them, and drive them out from whence they drove you out, and persecution is severer than slaughter, and do not fight with them at the Sacred Mosque until they fight with you in it, but if they do fight you, then slay them; such is the recompense of the unbelievers. (source)
Koran, 4:89- …take not from among them friends until they fly (their homes) in Allah’s way; but if they turn back [to their homes], then seize them and kill them wherever you find them… Koran, 4:91 – seize them and kill them wherever you find them…(source)
Koran, 5:51 – Oh, believers, do not take the Jews or Christians as friends. They are but one another’s friends. If any one of you takes them for his friends, he surely is one of them. Allah will not guide the evildoers. (source)
There is no Peace Train; there is only Universal JihadTrain. This is a train that must be derailed. Cat Stevens is gone, don’t let Yusuf Islam tell you otherwise.
What is Lost
What Remains
Note: This is not Cat Stevens/Yusuf Islam, the placard represents the belief system of his adopted ideology. Cat Stevens is gone.
Recently, the David Horowitz Freedom Center released a very disturbing online video about the ongoing Muslim persecution of Christians. The news is very bad, and the images in this movie are very disturbing. If you are squeemish, do not watch this video.
To Islam, Christians are people of the book, those who have rejected the message of the prophet Mohammed and his god Allah. Just as the Jews have done, they have refused to convert to Islam. For this reason, Islam hates Christians and Jews… passionately.
This is a very old hatred that began when Mohammed was rejected by the Jews of Medina, and was not embraced by Christians in Arabia. But this hatred is still very much alive.
“Islam makes it incumbent on all adult males, provided they are not disabled and incapacitated, to prepare themselves for the conquest of [other] countries so that the writ of Islam is obeyed in every country in the world. But those who study Islamic Holy War will understand why Islam wants to conquer the whole world…. Those who know nothing of Islam pretend that Islam counsels against war. Those [who say this] are witless. Islam says Kill all the unbelievers just as they would kill you all! Does this mean that Muslims should sit back until they are devoured by [the unbelievers] Islam says Kill them [the non-Muslims], put them to the sword and scatter [their armies]. Does this mean sitting back until [non-Muslims] overcome us Islam says Kill in the service of Allah those who may want to kill you! Does this mean that we should surrender to the enemy Islam says Whatever good there is exists thanks to the sword and in the shadow of the sword! People cannot be made obedient except with the sword! The sword is the key to Paradise, which can be opened only for Holy Warriors! There are hundreds of other [Koranic] verses and Hadiths [sayings of the Prophet] urging Muslims to value war and to fight. Does all that mean that Islam is a religion that prevents men from waging war I spit upon those foolish souls who make such a claim.” (Ayatollah Khomeni, 1942; the founder of the Iranian Islamic Revolution)
For followers of Islam, befriending non-believers is a sin.
“O you who believe! do not take for intimate friends from among others than your own people, they do not fall short of inflicting loss upon you; they love what distresses you; vehement hatred has already appeared from out of their mouths, and what their breasts conceal is greater still; indeed, We have made the communications clear to you, if you will understand.” (Koran, 3:118)
“O you who believe! do not take the Jews and the Christians for friends; they are friends of each other; and whoever amongst you takes them for a friend, then surely he is one of them; surely Allah does not guide the unjust people.” (Koran, 5:51)
It is a sin to befriend unbelievers unless such friendship is false and furthers Islam. What is mandated is jihad against the unbelievers.
“We will strike terror into the hearts of the unbelievers because they worship others besides Allah, which He gave them no permission to do. Their home will be the fire, a terrible resting place for the evil doers.” (Koran, 3:149)
If you’ve ever wondered why Islamic jihad mobs burn down churches and homes, the above quote explains it. Read the following, and put them into the context of the images you will see in the following film, if you can handle it.
“The flames of Hell are sufficient punishment for them [the people of the book]! Those who reject Our revelations We will cast into the fire. As soon as their skins are burnt away, We will give them new skins so that they will truly experience the torment.” (Koran, 4:53)
“As for the unbelievers, they will be punished with excrutiating agony in this world and the world to come. They will have noone to help them.” (Koran, 3: 54) (source)
Jihad is about bringing agony, terror and death to the unbelievers everywhere in this world and the next. Followers of Islam take the Koran, Hadith (traditions of Mohammed), and Sira (the biography or Way of Mohammed) very, very seriously. This seriousness is an existential threat to all kafirs (unbelievers) everywhere.
A final warning: Please do not watch this movie if you are squeemish or if horrible, violent, murderous images disturb you. Jihad is upon us. We must learn and respond.
Jihad was first developed from the eighth century by theologians and jurists who divided the world in two: Muslims and infidels. Infidels, as they saw it, included all non-Muslims and those Muslims not pious enough according to them. The jihadists concluded that Muslims have a sacred duty, mandated by Allah, to defeat the infidels and to impose Qur’anic law [Sharia] upon them. – Bat Ye’Or, Global Jihad and America’s War.

It is not a common thing to see a religious leader calling for murder from the pulpit – except in the Arab world. The reason that this is so common in the Islamic world is that the doctrine of Islam calls for the conversion and/or death of all unbelievers. In the clip posted here you will see an Imam condemn the Jews and worse, and reference Koran and Mohammed, and the Sunna as justification.
In the world at large and even during the Nazi Holocaust we did not see religious leaders call for their followers to do appalling things because it was “God’s Work” or “Christ’s Work”. We do see this in the Islamic world, however – such things are Mohammed’s work.
This is the great threat of political Islam. Watch, and see. The Hamas Imam begins his “sermon”…
“We Muslims know best the nature of the Jews, because the Koran has informed us about this, and because the pure Sunna of the Prophet Muhammad has devoted much space to informing the Muslims of the truth about the Jews and their hostility to Islam and its Prophet.” [...]
The following quotes are from a Hamas sermon run recently on Hamas TV in Gaza. Click the film still below to watch the actual broadcast, translated by MEMRI. (Courtesy of FrontPage.)
“Allah Willing, The Moment Will Come When… Not a Single Jew Or Zionist is Left on the Face of the Earth”; “Dogs And Pups Bark and Bite, and… Are Impure – That Is The Truth About the Jews”
“Allah willing, the moment will come when their property will be destroyed and their sons annihilated, until not a single Jew or Zionist is left on the face of the Earth.
[...]
“There once was a dog that frightened the entire neighborhood with its barking. This dog begot a pup which was more wicked than its father. The Jews are always the same, brothers. Both dogs and pups bark and bite, and both are impure. That is the truth about the Jews.”
Hamas and Islamists everywhere are clear in their rhetoric in Arabic, but often not so in English. Arafat was famous for talking about peace in English to American and European audiences then screaming for Jihad and death to the Jews in Arabic the following day. This has always been very confusing to westerners; so many are convinced that there must be some mistake, or some miscommunication. But there is no miscommunication, only misunderstanding on our side; the Islamists are very clear, and always have been.
They are guided by their doctrine which is forever unchanging and perfect, and guided by their Prophet Mohammed, the great example for Muslims to follow. If Mohammed had been more a peace-loving fellow, there would likely be little concern today. But we are not so lucky. The message of Mohammed is jihad forever and everywhere until the entire world is Islamic and all live under Sharia in the great Umma. Islam and its doctrine is quite clear; Muslims who follow the doctrine do not hide the message or their goals. We choose not to listen.
A Sermon from the Religion of Peace
For those not interested in becoming Muslim, living as a dhimmi, being conquered and having their cultures and states destroyed or subsumed, or being dead Islam is something of an unfortunate philosophy that is difficult to accept.
There are many kinds of non-acceptance. Active and vociferous denial is the most common response in the American cultural landscape. This is most unfortunate for those who discuss the doctrine of Islam, that is those who speak the truth.
Only in literature has there been a more anti-intellectual environment than that of America, 2009. There is a time, and a place. The place is in a book, and the setting is 1984.
For those who speak the truth, and have the temerity and bravery to discuss such unpopular things as truth the epithet “hater” is often thrown about. What is one to do? How should one respond? Here are a few suggestions, courtesy of Citizen Warrior.
As a service to our readers, please find responses below to those poor ignorant folks who suggest that discussion of the truth of Islamic doctrine and Islamic cruelties is hatred, and that you must be a “hatemonger” for speaking of such things.
A fearful, clueless person might say, “You are a hater!” Consider a reply as follows:
Hatred is not the answer. If anything, I am anti-hatred. That’s why I am trying to expose Islamic teachings: Shari’a law includes a system of legally-mandated hatred. Mohammad is their model, and he expressed hatred toward non-Muslims. He maligned them, robbed them, tortured them, killed them, raped them, and took them as slaves. Muslims are supposed to follow his example. It says so in the Qur’an over seventy times.
… “You’re a bigot!”
I’m talking about the teachings, not the people. Some Muslims follow the teachings, and some are Muslim in name only. But non-Muslims need to know about the teachings, because many of the most fundamental Islamic teachings are about how to deal with non-Muslims. According to the teachings, we must be subjugated under Islamic law. All of us. Voluntarily or by force. And the tens of millions or hundreds of millions who follow Islamic doctrine to the letter are actively working toward that end. They have gained control over how Islam is taught in American schoolbooks. Devoted followers have set up organizations in the United States and other Western democracies with the express purpose of undermining those democracies from within. We need to know about this stuff. It is affecting us already.
…”You’re a hatemonger!”
If I say the teachings of communism advocate ending economic inequalities, does that make me a hatemonger? If I say Republicans advocate smaller government, does that make me a hater? If I say Buddhists believe in reincarnation, does that make me a hater? But if I say the teachings of Islam advocate striving to institute worldwide Shari’a law, that makes me a hatemonger? That doesn’t make any sense. Where did you come up with that?
Walid Shoebat in his new book God’s War on Terror says, “May I suggest that for your next vacation you go to Mecca and carry a poster that says, ‘We all worship the same god – Muslims, Christians, Jews, and Bhuddists are all one – and Allah, Jehovah, God, and Bhudda are but the same God.’ You will learn that when it comes to God Muslims will not simply draw a line in the sand, but on your neck. (p. 15)
Most folks you talk with who know nothing of Islam will know one thing, they will know fear. Fear is the capital with which Islam trades across the world. Islamists understand that fear works, they use it everywhere. Fear is the great weapon of Islam, of totalitarianism everywhere throughout history.
Consider this:
Westerners do not understand that when it comes to the Muslim world, even the most “moderate” of Muslims, if they are religious, all believe in the coming of the Mahdi and the establishment of the Caliphate to rule the entire Globe by changing world laws to adopt the Islamic Sharia. The coming of the Mahdi to religious Muslims is as holy of a belief as the coming of the Messiah is to Christians and Jews. (God’s War on Terror, Walid Shoebat, p.45)
The only thing that fights fear is knowledge. Learn, teach, don’t fear.
Several years ago the UCLA Center for European and Eurasian Studies posted an article titled, “Is Europe Unable to Assimilate Its Growing Islamic Minority?” The question itself is flawed, and because the question is flawed all the conclusions and suggested remedies are also entirely erroneous.
The truth of the matter is that Europe is fully capable of assimilating Muslims, but the doctrine of Islam prevents Muslims from assimilating. A better title would have been “Are Muslims able or willing to Assimilate to Western Host Cultures?” The answer is No.
The answer is No because the doctrine of Islam prevents assimilation and specifically commands that Muslims are not to befriend non-believers (kafirs). This explains the self-ghettoization of Muslim immigrants across Europe and in the United States. Muslims must submit to the Koran and the Koran is the perfect word of Allah. The Koran is very clear on this point: Muslims are not to befriend unbelievers. You may find this shocking or difficult to believe. This is not opinion; this is the Koran of Islam.
[3.118] O you who believe! do not take for intimate friends from among others than your own people; they do not fall short of inflicting loss upon you; they love what distresses you; vehement hatred has already appeared from out of their mouths, and what their breasts conceal is greater still; indeed, We have made the communications clear to you, if you will understand.
The message of Koran 3.118 cannot be clearer. Non-believers are not to be trusted, non-believers have ill-will towards believers, non-believers take pleasure in anything that “distresses” a Muslim. This is the command of the Koran. Is it any wonder then that Islam will not assimilate to the culture and way of life of their host countries?
Assimilation is not on the Islamic agenda, though it is very much on ours. This fundamental conflict of purposes must be understood and accepted as truth. It is in the Koran; for Muslims it is the truth.
[3.28] Let not the believers take the unbelievers for friends rather than believers; and whoever does this, he shall have nothing of (the guardianship of) Allah, but you should guard yourselves against them, guarding carefully; and Allah makes you cautious of (retribution from) Himself; and to Allah is the eventual coming.
The point is made again and again. Muslims are forbidden from taking unbelievers as friends, as doing so puts one outside the Muslim worldview and outside the favor of Allah. Do not take the unbelievers for friends; only guard against them.
If the message is not yet clear, there is more. Islam is particularly unfriendly to Christians and Jews (the people of the book). There must be no friendly interaction between Muslims and all kafirs.
[5.57] O you who believe! do not take for guardians those who take your religion for a mockery and a joke, from among those who were given the Book before you and the unbelievers; and be careful of (your duty to) Allah if you are believers. … this is because they are a people that do not understand.
In fact, even those family members who do not submit to Allah and Islam are to be shunned, friendships and associations ended forever. This is the command of the Koran for all those who submit (Muslims). Association with the unbelievers, even within the family, is forbidden because submission to Allah and the doctrine of Islam are far more important to Allah than the family itself. Those who do this are the “unjust”.
[9.23] O you who believe! do not take your fathers and your brothers for guardians if they love unbelief more than belief; and whoever of you takes them for a guardian, these it is that are the unjust.
Recently, events in England illustrated these points clearly. British soldiers returning from Iraqi service were harangued by an angry mob of Muslims that accused the soldiers of butchery, murder, etc. These are British Muslims protesting British soldiers returning from war. Most importantly the soldiers are non-believers, kafirs, returning from war in the Islamic world against Muslims. For those who follow the doctrine of Islam, the idea of kafirs fighting Muslims in Muslim territory is impossible to countenance.
Muslims Will Not Assimilate Because the Koran Commands them Not To
This was the scene (above) that greeted homecoming soldiers in Luton this week. Behind it is a community where integration has abjectly failed, breeding a small but rabid band of poisonous fanatics.
The call to morning prayers begins at dawn: ‘Allahu akbar, Allahu akbar’ (Allah is the greatest, Allah is the greatest). The voice echoes across the rooftops from an amplifier on a minaret at Luton Central Mosque. (more)
What is happening in England, our oldest allied country, our partner in democracy and the culture and society from whence our own sprouted, is the model of Islamization across Europe. Why? Because is it so successful.
“Hate preacher get OK to run sharia law demo,” by Tom Savage and Ross Kaniuk for the Daily Star, February 28:
HATE preacher Anjem Choudary will march in London today calling for Britain to adopt Islamic Sharia law.
The startling move comes just days after processions celebrating St George were banned for being racist. (more)
Choudary was given the green light yesterday despite a previous demonstration in which some of his supporters chanted: “Bomb the UK”.
Assimilation is a sin in Islam. Submission of the Host is the Mission.
When societies do not understand and acknowledge existential threats within their midst, when they do not have the political will to enforce the already existing laws to protect institutions and borders and when seditious and treasonous behavior is accepted with a wink and a nod, the host society is on a path of total failure and conquest from within.
This is the fate that we in the United States face. Islam will not assimilate because Muslims are commanded not to assimilate. Islam means “submission”. All cultures and political systems that are non-Muslim must submit. This is the purpose of political Islam.
Learn the doctrine of Islam. Everything that is done in the name of Islam becomes clear when one knows the doctrine of Islam. Muslims know their own doctrine, and live accordingly. We in the west are ignorant of it, and suffer the consequences. Learn the doctrine. Knowledge is power.
