Radicalization

Now comes another symposium at Front Page Magazine wherein Brigitte Gabriel and several shrinks debate the roots of 'radicalization'. After presenting several critical ayat which form the foundation of Jihad, Brigitte Gabriel gives us this neat summary.
Going forward we must realize that the portent behind the terrorist attacks is the purest form of what the Prophet Mohammed created. It not radical Islam. It’s what Islam is at its basic core. A core that has been “peacefulized” over the past century as it became infused and diluted by the civilized and moderate norms of new adherents, by the strength of Western civilization, by the historic weakness of the Muslim world. But Muslims are no longer weak and no longer poor. They have traded their swords for AK47’s, RPG’s, TNT and missiles. They are spreading their oil wealth around the world to bring Islam back. The time of moderation and watered down religion is over, and the Islam of Mohammed is back. It’s not radical Islam. It is not Wahabbi Islam, it’s Mohammed’s original Islam.
I hope that this small sample will entice you to click the link and read the entire article!

Eurabia: Canary in the Coal Mine

The founder of the United American Committee recently returned from a visit to Europe where he met with Conservative politicians and saw the actual conditions in France & Holland. Those conditions should serve as a warning to Americans.

Please see UAC founder Jesse Petrilla's article in today's FrontPage Magazine describing in detail his recent experiences in Europe with jihad and liberalism, and the implications it has on America. Read it now by clicking here.

Please forward this article to everyone you can, and post links to it on your blogs to warn the nation of the failed policies that brought about Europe's problems, and how those problems will come to America if we stay on the same course.

Its Shari'ah, Stupid #25

This series of posts quoting various Islamic Jurists' Fiqh on offensive Jihad is derived from FOMI's Offensive Jihad Thread, which I saved prior to the forum's censorship by the Swedish government. The Offensive Jihad Thread is preserved in FOMIJihad.chm.

Sharia: the path to the living waters; threatening to drown the world in blood. It is Islamic law, derived from Allah's word and Moe's Sunnah, the constitution & precedent.

"Umdat as-Salik wa 'Uddat an-Nasik (Reliance of the Traveller and Tools of the Worshipper, also commonly known by its shorter title Reliance of the Traveller) is a classical manual of fiqh for the Shafi'i school of Islamic jurisprudence." Here is the Wikipedia entry.

The book is about 1200 pages long. While you can search it at Muhaddith, there are some limitations to the search. The text has been posted an an educational site. I suggest using the Ctrl F search function to find what you are seeking if you go here and delve into it: http://www.nku.edu/~kenneyr/Islam/Reliance.html .

Scribid displays a scanned image of the book. Somehow they arranged a means of searching it, which works much faster than I expected. Of course you can't cut and paste from it, but it should be useful for verifying content found in other sources.

Allah.com displays a text file, so you can copy & paste. That will facilitate using quotes in blog posts. Unfortunately, they renamed and rearranged the books, and added a half dozen. Two columns are displayed, on the left, a list of the books and a code for deciphering the original names. Book O is transmuted to Book 9. Links to the entry points are in the right hand column.

Offensive Jihad is fard Kifaya, a communal obligation jointly binding on all capable male Muslims until a sufficient number are recruited. This concept is raised in quotes from several Jurists. Numbers in parenthesis refer to order in this series of posts.
  • al-Shafi'i (3)
  • Ibn Qudama (8)
  • Ibn Taymiyya (9)
  • al-Misri (12)
  • Molla Khosrew (13)
  • Shykh Zeenu’d-Din (14)
  • Fadl-Ullah bin Ruzbihan Isfahani (15)
  • Abdullah Yusuf Azzam (23)
  • Hasan al-Banna (24)
Fard denotes obligatory religious duty. Fard al-ayn is binding on all individuals, such as the five daily prayers. Fard al-kifaya is a communal obligation. The obligation to attack Kuffar is fard al-kifaya. The obligation to repulse invaders is fard al-ayn..

The duty to attack Kuffar is particularly addressed to the Imam. This is raised by several of our Jurists.
  • al-Mawardi (5)
  • al-Ghazali (6)
  • Ziauddin Barani (11)
  • Ziauddin Barani (13)
  • Ziauddin Barani (15)
  • Shah Wali-Allah (19)
  • Abdullah Yusuf Azzam (23)
Several of the rulings we examined mention the ayat which make offensive Jihad obligatory.
Three of these are well worth review.
  • 9:29. Fight against those who (1) believe not in Allâh, (2) nor in the Last Day, (3) nor forbid that which has been forbidden by Allâh and His Messenger (4) and those who acknowledge not the religion of truth (i.e. Islâm) among the people of the Scripture (Jews and Christians), until they pay the Jizyah with willing submission, and feel themselves subdued.
  • 9:38. O you who believe! What is the matter with you, that when you are asked to march forth in the Cause of Allâh (i.e. Jihâd) you cling heavily to the earth? Are you pleased with the life of this world rather than the Hereafter? But little is the enjoyment of the life of this world as compared with the Hereafter.
  • 9:39 If you march not forth, He will punish you with a painful torment and will replace you by another people, and you cannot harm Him at all, and Allah is Able to do all things.
Allah commanded Muslims to fight Jews & Christians. He reprimanded those who refused, threatening them with Hellfire and luring them with the promise of Paradise.

Umdat as-Salik tells us what the Caliph does and why:

O9.8: The Objectives of Jihad

The caliph (o25) makes war upon Jews, Christians, and Zoroastrians (N: provided he has first invited them to enter Islam in faith and practice, and if they will not, then invited them to enter the social order of Islam by paying the non-Muslim poll tax (jizya, def: o11.4) -which is the significance of their paying it, not the money itself-while remaining in their ancestral religions) (O: and the war continues) until they become Muslim or else pay the non-Muslim poll tax (O: in accordance with the word of Allah Most High,

"Fight those who do not believe in Allah and the Last Day and who forbid not what Allah and His messenger have forbidden-who do not practice the religion of truth, being of those who have been given the Book-until they pay the poll tax out of hand and are humbled" (Koran 9.29),

The Caliph makes war on "people of the Book" because Allah ordered it in 9:29. Later in the chapter, the duties of the Caliph are listed. One of them isof interest.

O25.9-8 and if the area has a border adjacent to enemy lands, an eighth duty arises, namely to undertake jihad against enemies, dividing the spoils of battle among combatants, and setting aside fifth (def: o10.3) for deserving recipients.

Riyad-us-Saliheen, Book 11, Chapter 234 lists several relevant ayat and many relevant ahadith, with commentary.
Other relevant ayat are translated and explained, along with relevant ahadith in the following topics in Ibn Kathir's Tafsir. These demonstrate the obligation of Jihad, supremacism & triumphalism.
I have now made available to you ample evidence of the fact that Islam is a war cult, not a "great religion of peace". If you will turn to Sahih Bukhari and read these books, you will know that Moe was a warmonger. That should be sufficient to convince you that Islam has not been hijacked by a violent minority of extremists.

Its Shari'ah, Stupid #24

In this twenty-fourth installment of Offensive Jihad in Fiqh, we turn to another modern authority.

The Muslim Brotherhood founder Hasan al-Banna, wrote in his text Jihad to offensive jihad decreed by Muhammad, and that the edict is still legitimate.


The verses of the Qur'an and the Sunnah […] summon people in general […] to jihad, to warfare, to the armed forces, and all means of land and sea fighting.
All Muslims Must Make Jihad
Jihad is an obligation from Allah on every Muslim and cannot be ignored nor evaded. Allah has ascribed great importance to jihad and has made the reward of the martyrs and the fighters in His way a splendid one. Only those who have acted similarly and who have modeled themselves upon the martyrs in their performance of jihad can join them in this reward. Furthermore, Allah has specifically honoured the Mujahideen {those who wage jihad} with certain exceptional qualities, both spiritual and practical, to benefit them in this world and the next. Their pure blood is a symbol of victory in this world and the mark of success and felicity in the world to come.
Those who can only find excuses, however, have been warned of extremely dreadful punishments and Allah has described them with the most unfortunate of names. He has reprimanded them for their cowardice and lack of spirit, and castigated them for their weakness and truancy. In this world, they will be surrounded by dishonour and in the next they will be surrounded by the fire from which they shall not escape though they may possess much wealth. The weaknesses of abstention and evasion of jihad are regarded by Allah as one of the major sins, and one of the seven sins that guarantee failure.
Islam is concerned with the question of jihad and the drafting and the mobilisation of the entire Umma {the global Muslim community} into one body to defend the right cause with all its strength than any other ancient or modern system of living, whether religious or civil. The verses of the Qur'an and the Sunnah of Muhammad (PBUH) are overflowing with all these noble ideals and they summon people in general (with the most eloquent expression and the clearest exposition) to jihad, to warfare, to the armed forces, and all means of land and sea fighting.
[…]
The Scholars on Jihad
I have just presented to you some verses from the Qur'an and the Noble Ahadith concerning the importance of jihad. Now I would like to present to you some of the opinions from jurisprudence of the Islamic Schools of Thought including some latter day authorities regarding the rules of jihad and the necessity for preparedness. From this we will come to realise how far the ummah has deviated in its practice of Islam as can be seen from the consensus of its scholars on the question of jihad.
The author of the 'Majma' al-Anhar fi Sharh Multaqal-Abhar', in describing the rules of jihad according to the Hanafi School, said: 'Jihad linguistically means to exert one's utmost effort in word and action; in the Sharee'ah {Sharia -- Islamic law} it is the fighting of the unbelievers, and involves all possible efforts that are necessary to dismantle the power of the enemies of Islam including beating them, plundering their wealth, destroying their places of worship and smashing their idols. This means that jihad is to strive to the utmost to ensure the strength of Islam by such means as fighting those who fight you and the dhimmies {non-Muslims living under Islamic rule} (if they violate any of the terms of the treaty) and the apostates (who are the worst of unbelievers, for they disbelieved after they have affirmed their belief).
It is fard (obligatory) on us to fight with the enemies. The Imam must send a military expedition to the Dar-al-Harb {House of War -- the non-Muslim world} every year at least once or twice, and the people must support him in this. If some of the people fulfill the obligation, the remainder are released from the obligation. If this fard kifayah (communal obligation) cannot be fulfilled by that group, then the responsibility lies with the closest adjacent group, and then the closest after that etc., and if the fard kifayah cannot be fulfilled except by all the people, it then becomes a fard 'ayn (individual obligation), like prayer on everyone of the people.
[…]
The scholarly people are of one opinion on this matter as should be evident and this is irrespective of whether these scholars were Mujtahideen or Muqalideen and it is irrespective of whether these scholars were salaf (early) or khalaf (late). They all agreed unanimously that jihad is a fard kifayah imposed upon the Islamic ummah in order to spread the Da'wah of Islam, and that jihad is a fard 'ayn if an enemy attacks Muslim lands. Today, my brother, the Muslims as you know are forced to be subservient before others and are ruled by disbelievers. Our lands have been besieged, and our hurruma'at (personal possessions, respect, honour, dignity and privacy) violated. Our enemies are overlooking our affairs, and the rites of our din are under their jurisdiction. Yet still the Muslims fail to fulfill the responsibility of Da'wah that is on their shoulders. Hence in this situation it becomes the duty of each and every Muslim to make jihad. He should prepare himself mentally and physically such that when comes the decision of Allah, he will be ready.
I should not finish this discussion without mentioning to you that the Muslims, throughout every period of their history (before the present period of oppression in which their dignity has been lost) have never abandoned jihad nor did they ever become negligent in its performance, not even their religious authorities, mystics, craftsmen, etc. They were all always ready and prepared. For example, Abdullah ibn al Mubarak, a very learned and pious man, was a volunteer in jihad for most of his life, and 'Abdulwahid bin Zayd, a sufi and a devout man, was the same. And in his time, Shaqiq al Balkhi, the shaykh of the sufis encouraged his pupils towards jihad. …
Associated Matters Concerning Jihad
Many Muslims today mistakenly believe that fighting the enemy is jihad asghar (a lesser jihad) and that fighting one's ego is jihad akbar (a greater jihad). The following narration [athar] is quoted as proof: "We have returned from the lesser jihad to embark on the greater jihad." They said: "What is the greater jihad?" He said: "The jihad of the heart, or the jihad against one's ego."
This narration is used by some to lessen the importance of fighting, to discourage any preparation for combat, and to deter any offering of jihad in Allah's way. This narration is not a saheeh (sound) tradition: The prominent muhaddith Al Hafiz ibn Hajar al-Asqalani said in the Tasdid al-Qaws:
'It is well known and often repeated, and was a saying of Ibrahim ibn 'Abla.'
Al Hafiz Al Iraqi said in the Takhrij Ahadith al-Ahya':
’Al Bayhaqi transmitted it with a weak chain of narrators on the authority of Jabir, and Al Khatib transmitted it in his history on the authority of Jabir.'
Nevertheless, even if it were a sound tradition, it would never warrant abandoning jihad or preparing for it in order to rescue the territories of the Muslims and repel the attacks of the disbelievers. Let it be known that this narration simply emphasises the importance of struggling against one's ego so that Allah will be the sole purpose of everyone of our actions.
Other associated matters concerning jihad include commanding the good and forbidding the evil. It is said in the Hadeeth: "One of the greatest forms of jihad is to utter a word of truth in the presence of a tyrannical ruler." But nothing compares to the honour of shahadah kubra (the supreme martyrdom) or the reward that is waiting for the Mujahideen.
Epilogue
My brothers! The ummah that knows how to die a noble and honourable death is granted an exalted life in this world and eternal felicity in the next. Degradation and dishonour are the results of the love of this world and the fear of death. Therefore prepare for jihad and be the lovers of death. Life itself shall come searching after you.
My brothers, you should know that one day you will face death and this ominous event can only occur once. If you suffer on this occasion in the way of Allah, it will be to your benefit in this world and your reward in the next. And remember brother that nothing can happen without the Will of Allah: ponder well what Allah, the Blessed, the Almighty, has said:
'Then after the distress, He sent down security for you. Slumber overtook a party of you, while another party was thinking about themselves (as to how to save themselves, ignoring the others and the Prophet) and thought wrongly of Allah - the thought of ignorance. They said, "Have we any part in the affair?" Say you (O Muhammad): "Indeed the affair belongs wholly to Allah." They hide within themselves what they dare not reveal to you, saying: "If we had anything to do with the affair, none of us would have been killed here." Say: "Even if you had remained in your homes, those for whom death was decreed would certainly have gone forth to the place of their death: but that Allah might test what is in your hearts; and to purify that which was in your hearts (sins), and Allah is All-Knower of what is in (your) hearts."' {Sura 3:154}

Its Shari'ah, Stupid #23

In this twenty-third installment of Offensive Jihad in Fiqh, we turn to another modern authority.

Abdullah Yusuf Azzam issued his fatwah Defense of the Muslim Lands, the First Obligation after Faith (1979) after the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan. Fatwahn supported by Saudi Arabia's Grand Mufti, Abd al-Aziz Bin Bazz. Azzam legitimize both defensive and offensive jihad.


Quote:
”Jihad Against the Kuffar is of two Types: Offensive Jihad (where the enemy is attacked in his own territory) ... [and] Defensive Jihad. […] Where the Kuffar [infidels] are not gathering to fight the Muslims, the fighting becomes Fard Kifaya [religious obligation on Muslim society] with the minimum requirement of appointing believers to guard borders, and the sending of an army at least once a year to terrorise the enemies of Allah. It is a duty of the Imam to assemble and send out an army unit into the land of war once or twice every year. Moreover, it is the responsibility of the Muslim population to assist him, and if he does not send an army he is in sin. - And the Ulama have mentioned that this type of jihad is for maintaining the payment of Jizya. The scholars of the principles of religion have also said: ’Jihad is Daw’ah with a force, and is obligatory to perform with all available capabilities, until there remains only Muslims or people who submit to Islam.”

http://www.religioscope.com/info/doc ... _chap1.htm


Notice the minimum requirement:the sending of an army at least once a year to terrorise the enemies of Allah. This is is agreement with Al-Shafi'i and other authorities. Notice also that offensive Jihad is fard Kifaya.

Its Shari'ah, Stupid #22

We continue exploration of modern Fiqh in this twenty-second episode.

Another contemporary jihad Evangelist is Yusuf al-Qaradawi (b. 1926), a member of the Muslim Brothers (the world's first terrorist organization), and leader of the European Council for Fatwa and Research. Al-Qaradawi is counted as one of the most influential Muslim authorities. He has defended suicide bombings against Israelis, because he believes that there are no Israeli civilians, as all Israelis do military service, and therefore counted as soldiers. In the following interview, he advocated jihad to fight Israel. He does this by referring to Muhammad as a role model for today's jihadists.


http://memri.org/bin/articles.cgi?Pa ... ID=SP24601

”On the other hand, Allah wanted Muhammad’s life to be a model. […] Similarly, Allah has also made the prophet Muhammad into an epitome for religious warriors [Mujahideen] since he ordered Muhammed to fight for religion […]

”The youth who wish to hurry to establish an Islamic state with an Islamic rule seek clashes with the existing regimes in the Arab states despite the fact that they don’t have sufficient strength; they don’t have military strength and not even the mental strength to establish an Islamic rule.” […]

”On the other hand, there are some things that cannot wait; for instance, when the land of the Muslims is being invaded. When that happens, we do not say ’let’s wait, we will surrender to them and only then [we shall see]’ […] no! In that case, Islam requires that the people of the invaded land will fight the invaders […] and following them, their neighbors. And if this is not enough, all the Muslims [must enlist for this purpose]. Hence, a problem like the current Intifada and the Palestinian problem is one that cannot wait; the nation must fight and defend itself and not allow the invader to ruin the land […]

Sheik Al-Qaradhawi argued that there are two types of Jihad: ”A Jihad which you seek, and a Jihad in which you repulse an attack." In the Jihad which you are seeking, you look for the enemy and invade him. This type of Jihad takes place only when the Islamic state is invading other [countries] in order to spread the word of Islam and to remove obstacles standing in its way. The repulsing Jihad takes place when your land is being invaded and conquered […] [in that case you must] repulse [the invader] to the best of your ability; if you kill him he will end up in hell, and if he kills you, you become a martyr [Shahid] […]

Sheik Al-Qaradhawi – who throughout his recent appearances has declared that Palestinian suicide attacks are considered ”self-sacrifice” and not suicide, and thus are permitted and even welcome from a religious standpoint – was again asked about this issue. He argued that the person who commits that act ”is not a suicide [bomber]. He kills the enemy while taking self-risk, similarly to what Muslims did in the past […] He wants to scare his enemies, and the religious authorities have permitted this. They said that if he causes the enemy both sorrow and fear of Muslims […] he is permitted to risk himself and even get killed.”


  • They said that if he causes the enemy both sorrow and fear of Muslims […] he is permitted to risk himself and even get killed.”
Do you understand this saying? Self sacrifice is permitted if it results in death, grief & terror suffered by the victims. Where in Hell does a "holy man" obtain such ideas? If our leaders and academicians did not have their brains burried in their butts they might be able to search Islam's canon and discover the source. Because my brain is at the correct end of my spinal column, I am able to investigate and report the source to you. I do this because I want you to know, to be angered, to inform others, organize, and disrespectfully demand effective action to defend our way of life from Islam's invasion, subversion and demographic conquest.

Who are the Shaheed, the honored martyrs? Those who fought to the death. The hadith are sunnah: models to be emulated.
These expressions should be clues for you to help understand what the Sheikh's blood thirsty opinion is derived from.
  • Indignity is put over them
  • destruction is put over them
  • We shall cast terror
  • afflict them with a humiliating torment
  • I will cast terror
  • punish them severely
  • Allâh will punish them by your hands and disgrace them
  • Strive hard against the disbelievers and the hypocrites, and be harsh against them
  • fought until he was killed
I close this post with a negative examplar.
9:120. It was not becoming of the people of Al-Madinah and the bedouins of the neighbourhood to remain behind Allâh's Messenger (Muhammad when fighting in Allâh's Cause) and (it was not becoming of them) to prefer their own lives to his life. That is because they suffer neither thirst nor fatigue, nor hunger in the Cause of Allâh, nor they take any step to raise the anger of disbelievers nor inflict any injury upon an enemy but is written to their credit as a deed of righteousness. Surely, Allâh wastes not the reward of the Muhsinûn
Muslims get credit for righteous deeds by:
  • any step to raise the anger of disbelievers
  • inflicting any injury upon disbelievers.
Got a clue yet? If not, we know where your head is.

Its Shari'ah, Stupid #21

In this twenty first installment of Offensive Jihad in Fiqh, we receive enlightenment by the late great 'man of god', Ruhollah Khomenei.
Another modern interpreter of jihad is Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomenei (d. 1989), who in a speech in 1942 clarifies that, as the title suggests, "Islam Is Not a Religion of Pacifists".
[Cit. ur red. Rubin & Rubin, Anti-American Terrorism and the Middle East, s. 29, 32-6.]

Islam’s jihad is a struggle against idolatry, sexual deviation, plunder, repression, and cruelty. The war waged by [non-Islamic] conquerors, however, aims at promoting lust and animal pleasures. They care not if whole countries are wiped out and many families left homeless. But those who study jihad will understand why Islam wants to conquer the whole world. All the countries conquered by Islam or to be conquered in the future will be marked for everlasting salvation. For they shall live under [God’s law]. […]

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 that mean that Muslim should sit back until they are devoured by [the unbelievers]? Islam says: Kill the [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] psalms 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.

Kuffar fight for spoils & sex slaves; Muslims fight for virtue. Yeah, right. Examine the following hadith, which was Bowdlerized from USC-MSA's Bukhari collection, but included in Aisha Bewley's translation.
Bukhari Ch 61 # 2756: ...It is mentioned from Ibn 'Umar from the Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, "My provision has been placed under the shadow of my spear, and abasement and humility have been placed on the one who disobeys my command.
Examine Allah's understanding of Moe's motivation.
It is not for a Prophet that he should have prisoners of war (and free them with ransom) until he had made a great slaughter (among his enemies) in the land. You desire the good of this world (i.e. the money of ransom for freeing the captives), but Allâh desires (for you) the Hereafter. And Allâh is All-Mighty, All-Wise.
Bear this fact in mind: Moe got the top 20% of the spoils, by Allah's command.
And know that whatever of war-booty that you may gain, verily one-fifth (1/5th) of it is assigned to Allâh, and to the Messenger, and to the near relatives [of the Messenger (Muhammad)], (and also) the orphans, Al-Masâkin (the poor) and the wayfarer, if you have believed in Allâh and in that which We sent down to Our slave (Muhammad) on the Day of criterion (between right and wrong), the Day when the two forces met (the battle of Badr) - And Allâh is Able to do all things.
Do you understand that booty includes captive women?
Bukhari Volume 4, Book 52, Number 143:
Narrated Anas bin Malik:
The Prophet said to Abu Talha, "Choose one of your boy servants to serve me in my expedition to Khaibar." So, Abu Talha took me letting me ride behind him while I was a boy nearing the age of puberty. I used to serve Allah's Apostle when he stopped to rest. I heard him saying repeatedly, "O Allah! I seek refuge with You from distress and sorrow, from helplessness and laziness, from miserliness and cowardice, from being heavily in debt and from being overcome by men." Then we reached Khaibar; and when Allah enabled him to conquer the Fort (of Khaibar), the beauty of Safiya bint Huyai bin Akhtab was described to him. Her husband had been killed while she was a bride. So Allah's Apostle selected her for himself and took her along with him till we reached a place called Sad-AsSahba,' where her menses were over and he took her for his wife. Haris (a kind of dish) was served on a small leather sheet. Then Allah's Apostle told me to call those who were around me. So, that was the marriage banquet of Allah's Apostle and Safiya. Then we left for Medina. I saw Allah's Apostle folding a cloak round the hump of the camel so as to make a wide space for Safiya (to sit on behind him) He sat beside his camel letting his knees for Safiya to put her feet on so as to mount the camel. Then, we proceeded till we approached Medina; he looked at Uhud (mountain) and said, "This is a mountain which loves us and is loved by us." Then he looked at Medina and said, "O Allah! I make the area between its (i.e. Medina's) two mountains a sanctuary as Abraham made Mecca a sanctuary. O Allah! Bless them (i.e. the people of Medina) in their Mudd and Sa (i.e. measures)."
The old fart wasted his entire life immersed in Islam's scripture & tradition; knew it inside out, yet he spewed holy hypocrisy. Yoel Natan has compiled a list of 164 violent verses. You can find the worst of them, along with the ahadith which confirm them and tafsir which explain them in EgregiousAyat.chm.

It is true that Islam is violent, not pacifist. It is not true that Islam is pure virtue. If you don't understand or don;t believe these fatal facts, read the Qur'an & hadith and see for yourself. The evidence is available, you just need to read it. Here are the links; will you use them or waste them? Surahs 2,3,4,7,8,9,33,47 48, 59 & 61 and Bukhari's Books 52,53&59 contain most of what you need to know; EgregiousAyat.chm contains a wider sampling plus relevant Shari'ah.. .

Wilders or Wilderness?

STOP THE PERSECUTION OF GEERT WILDERS BY THE DUTCH STATE AND HELP THE CAUSE OF FREE SPEECH

Watch THIS video from victimlesscriminal entitled ‘Geert Wilder's Helpline and then take the action suggested:

Text from the Video Description mentioned in the video:

TWO WAYS TO HELP:

1. Please copy this letter (or alter/replace it with your own letter) and post/email to

Mr Ernst Hirsch Ballin
Dutch Minister for Justice
Postbus 20301
2500 EH Den Haag
Nederland
email: vragen@postbus51.nl

Dear Mr Ballin

Amsterdam Court of Appeal vs. Mr Geert Wilders

As you now seek to jail Mr Geert Wilders on charges of discrimination and hate speech I wonder if you will also seek to ban the Qur'an that has page upon page of discrimination and hate speech, calling for death and punishment for a vast range of activities which are perfectly legal in The Netherlands - such as for not being Muslim, particularly for being Jewish, for being an apostate or an adulteress or for a selection of other actions or beliefs that would hardly rank as indiscretions or misdemeanours by any non-Qur'anic terms of reference?

That we have all witnessed the words of the Qur'an inspire some Muslims to commit the most discriminatory and hateful actions in recent history is a matter of public record and cannot be denied. That the passages of this book were used in the movie 'Fitna' along with footage of Muslim leaders and Imams is also a matter of public record and cannot be denied.


If Mr Wilder's is to suffer the charge of discrimination and hate speech for quoting passages of the Qur'an, then the Qur'an itself must face the identical fate.

Thank you for your time,

2. Go to http://www.petitiononline.com/wilders... and sign the growing petition in support of Geert Wilders, which reads:

To: The Dutch Government
WHEREAS Geert Wilders has exercised his fundamental human right of freedom of expression and spoken out, with facts and evidence, of the threat posed by radical Islam;

WHEREAS certain elements within Islamic communities have threatened a boycott of Dutch goods if Geert Wilders is not punished by the Dutch government for exercising his freedom of expression; and

WHEREAS certain elements in Dutch industry and the Dutch government are suggesting that Geert Wilders be prosecuted civilly or criminally, in order to prevent such a boycott;

IT IS RESOLVED that, in the event that the Dutch government attempts, in any way, to punish or prosecute Geert Wilders, civilly or criminally, for exercising his freedom of expression, the undersigned will initiate a boycott of any and all Dutch goods.

Sincerely,

While your at it, please go to http://www.shariapetition.com and support the Global Statement Against Sharia Law and the UK One Law For All Campaign and Petition.

Sharia Law is the legal culmination of religious efforts to curb freedom of thought and speech. It will be demanded by Islamic dogma in countries where it gains political power. Sharia Law is to be avoided AT ALL COSTS.


The item published above was received through email. I used their sample email as the basis for a very sharply worded missive to the Minister of Justice. Since I am monolingual, I used Google's Translation service to translate it into Dutch.

I also signed the petition in support of Wilders and urge you to sign and promote it.



Its Shari'ah, Stupid #20

In this twentieth installment looking into offensive Jihad in Fiqh, we tap into a more modern source.
Al Azhar University, which can be seen as Sunni Islam's equivalent of the papacy, held a conference in 1968, after the Arab defeat in the U.S. war against Israel. The conference advocated for jihad as the only way to defeat Israel.
[Cit. ur Bat Ye’or, Dhimmi: Jews and Christians Under Islam, s. 391-4.]
Jihad is legislated in order to be one of the means of propagating Islam. Consequently Non-Muslims ought to embrace Islam either willingly or through wisdom and good advice or unwillingly through fight and Jihad. […] It is unlawful to give up Jihad and adopt peace and weakness instead of it, unless the purpose of giving up Jihad is for preparation, whenever there is something weak among Muslims, and their opponents are, on the other hand, strong. […] War is the basis of the relationship between Muslims and their opponents unless there are justifiable reason for peace, such as adopting Islam. [Shaikh Abdullah Ghoshah, chief judge of the hashemite kingdom of Jordan]

Your honorable conference has been an Arab, Islamic and patriotic necessity in view of the present circumstances in which the Arabs and Muslims face the most serious difficulties. All Muslims expect you to expound Allah’s decree concerning the Palestine cause, to proclaim that decree, in all clarity, throughout the Arab and Muslim world. We do not think this decree absolves any Muslim or Arab from Jihad (Holy War) which has now become a duty incumbent upon the Arabs and Muslims to liberate the land, preserve honor, retaliate for [lost] dignity, restore the Aqsa mosque, the church of Resurrection, and to purge the birthplace of prophecy, the seat of revelation, the meeting-place of Prophets, the starting-point of Issa, and the scenes of the holy spirit, from the hands of Zionism – the enemy of man, of truth, of justice, and the enemy of Allah. […] The hoped-for judgment is that of Muslim Scholars who draw their conclusions from the Book of Allah, and the Summa of His prophet. […] May your decisive word rise to the occasion and enlighten the Arab and Muslim world, so that it may be a battle-cry, urging millions of Muslims and Arabs on to the field of Jihad, which will lead us to the place that once was ours. […] Muslims who are distant from the battle-field of Palestine […] are indeed sinful if they do not hasten to offer all possible means to achieve success and gain victory in the Islamic battle against their enemies and the enemies of their religion. Particularly, this battle is not a mere combat between two parties but it is a battle between two religions (namely, it is a religious battle). Zionism in fact represents a very perilous cancer, aiming at domineering the Arab countries and the whole Islamic world. [Sheikh Hassan Khalid, mufti of the republic of Lebanon]

Here you have Fiqh from modern scholars, a Jurist and a Mufti engaged in a conference at the most famous Islamic university. What do they base their opinions on?
  • Allah’s decree
  • The hoped-for judgment is that of Muslim Scholars who draw their conclusions from the Book of Allah, and the Summa of His prophet.

Lets cut the crap and drill down to the nitty gritty.
  • Jihad is legislated in order to be one of the means of propagating Islam.[footnote]
  • Non-Muslims ought to embrace Islam
    • willingly
    • through wisdom and good advice
    • unwillingly through fight and Jihad
  • It is unlawful to give up Jihad and adopt peace and weakness
  • War is the basis of the relationship between Muslims and their opponents unless there are justifiable reason for peace, such as adopting Islam.
  • We do not think this decree absolves any Muslim or Arab from Jihad
  • urging millions of Muslims and Arabs on to the field of Jihad
  • it is a battle between two religions
Back to the matter of Jihad: its purposes.
  • means of propagating Islam
  • to liberate the land,
  • preserve honor,
  • retaliate for [lost] dignity,
  • restore
    • the Aqsa mosque,
    • the church of Resurrection,
  • and to purge from the hands of Zionism
    • the birthplace of prophecy,
    • the seat of revelation,
    • the meeting-place of Prophets,
    • the starting-point of Issa,
    • the scenes of the holy spirit, from the hands of Zionism.
Compare that list to the positive and negative lists in Hilali & Khan's footnote to 2:190 [ means of propagating Islam]

Its Shari'ah, Stupid #19

In this nineteenth installment of offensive Jihad in Fiqh, we examine another quote from a Sufi.
Shah Wali-Allah, d. 1762, teolog, sufi, politisk aktivist. Cit. ur Saiyid Athar Abbas Rizvi, Shah Wali-Allah and His Times (Canberra 1980), s. 294-6, 299, 301, 305.
It has become clear to my mind that the kingdom of heaven has predestined that kafirs should be reduced to a state of humiliation and treated with utter contempt. […]

Oh Kings! Mala a’la urges you to draw your swords and not put them back in their sheaths again until Allah has separated the Muslims from the polytheists and the rebellious kafirs and the sinners are made absolutely feeble and helpless. […]

Moreover, wherever there was even the slightest fear of a Muslim defeat, the Islamic army should be there to disperse infidels to all corners of the earth. Jihad should be their first priority, thereby ensuring the security of every Muslim.

Tell me again about how Sufism is pacifism. According to this Sufi, Kafirs should be humiliated and dispersed, absolutely enfeebled. Jihad should be Islam's first priority.

Waky Paki Policy

NTI's Global Security News Wire reported on a presentation by three members of the Commission on the Prevention of Weapons of Mass Destruction Proliferation and Terrorism to the House Armed Services Cmte.

The article includes a link to the Commission's Dec. '08 report, a 161 page .pdf file. The following quote is from the Executive Summary, occurring on
page xxiii of the report [pg. 24 of the .pdf]. [The main Pakistan section runs from pg. 94-104 of the .pdf and includes more recommendations.]
RECOMMENDATION 6: The next President and Congress
should implement a comprehensive policy toward Pakistan that
works with Pakistan and other countries to (1) eliminate terrorist
safe havens through military, economic, and diplomatic
means; (2) secure nuclear and biological materials in Pakistan;
(3) counter and defeat extremist ideology; and (4) constrain a
nascent nuclear arms race in Asia.
  1. Military action is the only possibility because Islam is doctrine driven; Jihad is not a function of economics or diplomacy, it is mandated by Islamic law.
  2. The perfect impossibility. The ISI is heavily infiltrated by Mujahideen. The country is more than 80% Muslim.
  3. There is no extremist ideology, there is only Islam. Countering Islamic doctrine is difficult and untried. Any attempt to do so will increase violence in the short term and would likely result in overthrow of the regime by Mujahideen. Certainly the regime will not participate in and will vigorously oppose such a campaign.
  4. No hope in Hell; that genie is out of the bottle already.

U.S. policy should "focus on building the institutions that will stabilize the country and begin to drain off some of the enmity that is currently being evinced toward the U.S. and Western culture, generally," Graham said.

That means emphasizing "soft power," including diplomacy, culture and education, according to Graham and Talent.

No institution can stabilize Pakistan. Neither can enmity toward the West be drained off. It is first necessary to remove Islam from the equation by inducing mass apostasy among the citizens of Pakistan. See pt.3 above.

Muslims do not want our culture or education; they hate us, our culture and our education. Islam is their Deen and they don't want anything else.

Obamination: Hypocrisy & Deceit

I commenced my dissection of President Obama's Inaugural Address with his message to Muslims. In this episode, I return to excerpts
From the President's Prepared Remarks, as published by the Miami Herald.

Our nation is at war, against a far-reaching network of violence and hatred.

On this day, we gather because we have chosen hope over fear, unity of purpose over conflict and discord.

On this day, we come to proclaim an end to the petty grievances and false promises, the recriminations and worn out dogmas, that for far too long have strangled our politics.

We remain a young nation, but in the words of Scripture, the time has come to set aside childish things.

Starting today, we must pick ourselves up, dust ourselves off, and begin again the work of remaking America.

We will build the roads and bridges, the electric grids and digital lines that feed our commerce and bind us together. We will restore science to its rightful place, and wield technology's wonders to raise health care's quality and lower its cost. We will harness the sun and the winds and the soil to fuel our cars and run our factories. And we will transform our schools and colleges and universities to meet the demands of a new age. All this we can do. And all this we will do.

The question we ask today is not whether our government is too big or too small, but whether it works - whether it helps families find jobs at a decent wage, care they can afford, a retirement that is dignified.

As for our common defense, we reject as false the choice between our safety and our ideals. Our Founding Fathers, faced with perils we can scarcely imagine, drafted a charter to assure the rule of law and the rights of man, a charter expanded by the blood of generations. Those ideals still light the world, and we will not give them up for expedience's sake.

And so to all other peoples and governments who are watching today, from the grandest capitals to the small village where my father was born: know that America is a friend of each nation and every man, woman, and child who seeks a future of peace and dignity, and that we are ready to lead once more. Recall that earlier generations faced down fascism and communism not just with missiles and tanks, but with sturdy alliances and enduring convictions. They understood that our power alone cannot protect us, nor does it entitle us to do as we please. Instead, they knew that our power grows through its prudent use; our security emanates from the justness of our cause, the force of our example, the tempering qualities of humility and restraint.

  • Our nation is at war, against a far-reaching network of violence and hatred.
That sentence does not fit in with those which follow it. He fails to elaborate, without naming the enemy, without specifying the theaters of war or evaluating the status of the war effort. Why did he raise the issue of war so briefly only to drop it to hint at his Socialist agenda? The objective clause is problematic because it exemplifies an effort to distract us and divert our attention from the identity & nature of the enemy.

Islam is the enemy. Islam's canon of scripture expresses and its Imams inculcate hatred of all who do not submit to Allah's writ exactly as they do. We are described as the "worst of living creatures", will abide in Hell, the "worst of creatures". Allah curses us and commands Muslims to make war on us. President Obama perpetuates the lie spewed by his predecessors: the claim that our enemy consists of a tiny minority of radicalized extremists who belong to Al-Qaeda and similar organizations spawned by Al-Ikhwan Al-Islamiyya. His assertion is far removed from objective factual reality. Islam's permanent war is sanctified by Allah's Qur'an and codified in Sharia. 8:39 & 9:29 contain the eternal commands to fight. 9:123 reinforces them. They are codified in Book O, Chapter 9, Paragraphs 8&9 of Reliance of the Traveller. [Search for O9.8.] Muslims are commanded to conquer the entire world for Allah and they have been engaged in that conquest since 623. Muslims who seek to live in peace without joining Jihad are not good Muslims; they are hypocrites whom Moe cursed and assigned to Hell. Allah commanded Muslims to fight the hypocrites along with us.
  • On this day, we gather because we have chosen hope over fear, unity of purpose over conflict and discord.
The ceremony at which he spoke was not ad-hoc, it is a traditional part of our system of peaceful turnover of power by elected officials.
  • On this day, we come to proclaim an end to the petty grievances and false promises, the recriminations and worn out dogmas, that for far too long have strangled our politics.
Here we have a prime example of a narcissistic, arrogant demagogue so confident of his ability to hypnotize his victims that he tells them in plain language what he has done to them. His was a campaign of petty grievances and false promises; the worn out dogmas of Socialism.
  • We remain a young nation, but in the words of Scripture, the time has come to set aside childish things.
Childish things like sense of dependency & a sense of entitlement? Those are part of his campaign pitch, how can he abandon them now?
  • Starting today, we must pick ourselves up, dust ourselves off, and begin again the work of remaking America.
The statement is ambiguous and dangerously broad. What is he talking about? Is he calling for a new Constitutional Convention to undo the Bill of Rights? Does he intend to increase the powers and thereby the dangers inherent in government?
  • We will build the roads and bridges, the electric grids and digital lines that feed our commerce and bind us together. We will restore science to its rightful place, and wield technology's wonders to raise health care's quality and lower its cost. We will harness the sun and the winds and the soil to fuel our cars and run our factories. And we will transform our schools and colleges and universities to meet the demands of a new age. All this we can do. And all this we will do.
That indicates physical infrastructure. Building roads and bridges requires vast sums of money and years to plan and execute. It involves lawyers and engineers, skilled equipment operators, machinery and trucks, asphalt and cement production. How many years does it take to turn out an engineer, and what will he do with his degree when the roads & bridges are finished? A massive make work project will result in shortages & inflation, not in new jobs. It will balloon the national debt beyond control.

Electric grids & digital communications are private industries, not government monopolies. Does President Obama intend to nationalize them or to subsidize electric utility & telecommunications companies? Or does he intend to burden them with new, higher cost structures so as to drive them out of business or inflate the rates we must pay?

What is the "rightful place" of science? Who displaced it, when and how? The technological wonders that improved health care are extremely expensive and increased the fixed cost structure of the industry, pushing up the cost of health care. How do you lower cost by more of the same? Who gets screwed in this process?

Sunlight and wind power can not replace hydrocarbon fuels for land transportation. Solar cells are too expensive and not sufficiently efficient. Issues of scope, scale, efficiency and cost are always overlooked by dreamers & schemers peddling snake oil.

Everybody promises to wave a magic wand to transform the educational system; nobody fulfills the promises. In Chicago, President Obama's buddy ran the school system into the ground instead of improving it. There are problems involving money, and there are problems involving people, both administrators and unions. None of those problems are easily soluble. The most important factor is beyond the President's control: the abilities and attitudes of the students. So long as the students are focused on video games, movies, the idiot box, beer, sex and drugs, you can throw all your money at the schools without improving the outcome.
  • The question we ask today is not whether our government is too big or too small, but whether it works - whether it helps families find jobs at a decent wage, care they can afford, a retirement that is dignified.
Take a long, cold look at the Constitution; where does it assign those tasks to the federal government? This is part of the culture of dependency & unreasonable expectations which got us into the present mess. President Obama seeks to expand the role and power of government, the result will be less liberty, less prosperity, increased poverty and reduced security.
  • As for our common defense, we reject as false the choice between our safety and our ideals. Our Founding Fathers, faced with perils we can scarcely imagine, drafted a charter to assure the rule of law and the rights of man, a charter expanded by the blood of generations. Those ideals still light the world, and we will not give them up for expedience's sake.
Rights are only enjoyed by those who seize, hold and zealously enforce them. It would be right for all men to be free & prosperous, without slavery, repression & discrimination. Unfortunately, the world does not work that way. Many parts of the world are ruled by tyrants, the people living there do not share our freedoms. They can't until they seize them as our forefathers seized them from King George. The idea that murdering Muslims have a right to maim and kill our servicemen and contest their capture & detention in our courts of civil law is the absolute peak of suicidal idiocy. There is no right to make war on us and get off Scott free. They have neither signed nor complied with the Geneva Conventions. The idea that terrorists should enjoy privacy in their communications just because one party to the conversation is in America exposes the suicidal insanity of its holders. The President is erecting and knocking down a straw man.
  • And so to all other peoples and governments who are watching today, from the grandest capitals to the small village where my father was born: know that America is a friend of each nation and every man, woman, and child who seeks a future of peace and dignity, and that we are ready to lead once more. Recall that earlier generations faced down fascism and communism not just with missiles and tanks, but with sturdy alliances and enduring convictions. They understood that our power alone cannot protect us, nor does it entitle us to do as we please. Instead, they knew that our power grows through its prudent use; our security emanates from the justness of our cause, the force of our example, the tempering qualities of humility and restraint.
Future of peace and dignity? Its ok if they seek war and rapine here and now, but we're their friend and benefactor if they seek peace in the future? Yeah, wrong! War is the condition while any part of the world is in Kuffar control. Peace will obtain after Islam completes total world conquest. What was sturdy about our temporary alliance with Stalin? Without power, we have no protection. If we have power but are unwilling to use it, we have no protection. Old Harry had the power and the will to use it, so WW2 came to and end with victory over Japan.

This last quoted paragraph exemplifies President Obama's hypocrisy. He was going to put away petty grievances and false promises. He expects us to forget that and accept his old campaign shibboleths. When an enemy declares genocidal intent and attacks you, there is no role for restraint. Humility has no place in this debate. Our ideals are superior, our rights are superior and our force is superior. We have a right to defend ourselves and our way of life. Those who made war upon us must pay its penalties.

Its Shari'ah, Stupid #18

Eighteenth in a series on offensive Jihad in Fiqh.
al-Majlisi, d. 1698, shia-jurist. ”The Treatise Lightning Bolts Against the Jews”, övers. V.B. Moreen, Die Welt des Islams (32:1992), s. 187-93.
That is, fight against those who do not believe in God and in the Day of Resurrection, who do not prohibit the things that have been prohibited by God and His Prophet, such as wine and pork, and do not believe in the religion of truth, from among those who had been given the Book, until they pay the jizyah, with their own hands, while they are in a low and abased state.


In this case, the jurist was paraphrasing & explaining an infamous ayat, do you recognize it? What does it command Muslims to do; to whom? What are the essential elements of the compound terminal condition?Does this vary significantly from the Sunni Fiqh?

Got a clue yet? Its 9:29.

Israel at War

The Jewish Press has a most excellent oped piece by Rabbi Steven Pruzansky which I urge you to read. It is full of facts and well founded opinions based upon those facts. These samples should be sufficient to whet your appetite for more.

Israel's greatest weakness is its lack of a plan for victory, which suggests to the world that the outcome of this war - the eighth war in Gaza since 1948 - should be yet another round of Israeli concessions and the resuscitation of the futile land-for-peace formula. Nothing that has occurred has stripped most Israeli politicians of the illusions that one can negotiate evil away; that all that is required for peace to erupt is a little more talk, a little more time, and another signed agreement; that rockets from Gaza can be stopped without Israeli boots on the ground; and that victory is not possible - the first war in history in which victory has been pronounced an impossibility.

Nonetheless, the party with the end game usually prevails over the party that dithers, fantasizes and projects its good intentions and nobility on a cruel and heartless foe - and it is this that bears reflection in the days and months ahead.

The enemy deserves a heavy and sustained blow for each rocket it launches - or will launch - against our brethren. Compassion for the cruel is one of the most harmful emotions in man, and guilt over the preservation of Jewish life in the face of a brutal and sadistic enemy - one that uses its own children as cannon fodder - is un-Jewish, foolhardy, dangerous and counterproductive.

Please click the link, read the entire article and share it as widely as possible.

Obamination: Gnat Strain

King James Bible Mt 23:24
Ye blind guides, which strain at a gnat, and swallow a camel.

They bollixed the Presidential oath of Office, so the Chief Justice and President Obama repeated the oath, just to make sure. How in the eternal love of God can they worry about the sequence of words in a vain, forsworn oath while ignoring the more significant fact that President Obama has failed to prove one of the vital factors of eligibility: his status as a native born citizen?

"I Barack Hussein Obama do solemnly swear that I will execute the office of president to the United States faithfully," "And will to the best of my ability, preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States, so help me God," [WND]
"I do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will faithfully execute the office of President of the United States, and will to the best of my ability, preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States." [memory.loc.gov]
The adverb's sequence does not effect the meaning in this case.


If anything would ruin the oath, it is that last addition, which is not in the Constitution. What harm does it do? It was repeated in the re-enactment.

Why all the fuss and news coverage over an inconsequential detail while Obama's eligibility and illegal fund raising practices are totally ignored?

Which office is most important, President or Vice President? Compare their oaths of office.
I, A— B—, do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic; that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same; that I take this obligation freely, without any mental reservation or purpose of evasion; and that I will well and faithfully discharge the duties of the office on which I am about to enter. So help me God.[Wikipedia]
If the sequence of verb and adverb were significant, wouldn't the extra bindings in the VP oath be even more so? So why hasn't the Constitution been amended to enrich the Presidential oath?

Obama was probably born in Kenya to an alien and an underage citizen, if he is a citizen, he traveled illegally to Pakistan, and he sealed the records which would disclose his citizenship status. He refuses to display the vault copy of his birth certificate and spent enormous amounts of money contesting litigation demanding its disclosure, but the Supreme Court don't give a damn. Yet the Chief Justice made a special trip to the White House to re-administer the oath. Am I the only one to perceive the incongruity?

Its Shari'ah, Stupid #17

In this seventeenth installment of offensive Jihad in Fiqh, we discover how passive and spiritual the Sufis really are.
Shaykh Ahmad Sirhindi, d. 1624, sufi. Cit. ur Saiyid Athar Abbas Rizvi, Muslim Revivalist Movements in Northern India in the Sixteenth and Seventeenth Centuries (Agra, Lucknow 1965), s. 247-50; Yohanan Friedmann, Shaykh Ahmad Sirhindi. An Outline of His Thought and a Study of His Image in the Eyes of Posterity (Montreal 1971), s. 73-4.
Shariat can be fostered through the sword.

Kufr and Islam are opposed to each other. The progress of one is possible only at the expense of the other and co-existence between these two contradictory faiths is unthinkable. […]

The execution of the accursed kafir of Gobindwal [Arjun, fifth guru of the Sikhs, executed in 1606] is an important achievement and is the cause of great defeat of the accursed Hindus. Whatever might have been the motive behind the execution, the dishonour of the kafirs is an act of highest grace for the Muslims. […] Whenever a Jew is killed, it is for the benefit of Islam.


Islamic law can be spread by the sword. So far, so good, such a peaceful mystical Sufi. Co-existence is unthinkable. Yes, it really is! Whenver a Jew is killed, islam benefits. Got a clue yet?

Obamination: to the 'Muslim World'

The Miami Herald published the prepared text of President Obama's Inaugural Address. For the purpose of this blog post, I present one paragraph excerpted from the transcript for dissection.

To the Muslim world, we seek a new way forward, based on mutual interest and mutual respect. To those leaders around the globe who seek to sow conflict, or blame their society's ills on the West - know that your people will judge you on what you can build, not what you destroy. To those who cling to power through corruption and deceit and the silencing of dissent, know that you are on the wrong side of history; but that we will extend a hand if you are willing to unclench your fist.
  • To the Muslim world, we seek a new way forward, based on mutual interest and mutual respect.
Anything other than seeking to emancipate them from Allah's yoke of slavery is a step backward. Peaceful coexistence with Islam is not possible because Islam is permanent war.
  • based on mutual interest
We have no mutual interest with Islam. Islam's interest is total world conquest and domination, so that only Allah is worshiped altogether and everywhere; so that Shari'ah is enforced globally. Our interest is in liberty, security, prosperity & peace. There is no intersection, no convergence; nothing shared.
  • and mutual respect.
There is no mutual respect and can be none. Islam is contemptuous of everything un-Islamic. Islam hates our way of life without reservation and seeks to destroy it. It labels us Kuffar: rebells against Allah who must be defeated and gathered together into Hell.
  • To those leaders around the globe who seek to sow conflict,
That is what Islam is all about: total world conquest; to make Allah's word superior; his writ run on a global scale. That is why the Qur'an contains open ended, unlimited imperatives to fight pagans and make war upon people with scriptural religions. That is why Muslims first attacked our merchant vessels in the 18th century.
  • or blame their society's ills on the West -
Such projection is standard operating procedure for tyrants, Muslim & Kuffar alike. We serve as a handy focus of popular resentment to prevent it turning inward against the tyrants.
  • know that your people will judge you on what you can build, not what you destroy.
Islam measures glory by building empire, not peace & prosperity. Islam is about power & predation, not about construction, production & consumption. The Muslim who reconquers Israel will receive the highest honors, superceeded only by the Muslim who conquers America.
  • To those who cling to power through corruption and deceit and the silencing of dissent, know that you are on the wrong side of history; but that we will extend a hand if you are willing to unclench your fist.
Those hands always have been, are now and always will be clenched upon swords. Islam seeks conquest; nothing else. The contest among Muslims is over who will sit upon the throne, wield power and reap the spoils. While they hold power, they will be stirring up Jihad. Whoever holds power among Muslims will be rousing the rabble to fight; that is their divine mission which will only be completed when the entire world is ruled by Moe's Caliph. The Muslim ruler who drops his sword will be overthrown eventually by one who will grasp and wield it.

Giving foreign aid to Islamic nations is the ultimate in idiocy; it allows them to dedicate more of their own resources to preparation for Jihad.

President Obama's remarks to the 'Muslim world' are based upon false premises; assumptions of mutual interests and respect, both of which are purely mythological. His remarks assume that Islamic aggression is a function of nationalism & personal leadership, while it is actually based upon Islamic doctrine. Bold blue underlined text in this blog post is linked to sources of vital information, particularly the Qur'an and Jihad: The Islamic Doctrine of Permanent War. Read them and know the magnitude of the blunder you participated in November four of last year.
