Answering The Bridges of Faith Letter to President Elect Trump

    While searching for other responses to the Muslim Leader's open letter to President Elect Trump, I found this missive from a group of self-righteous Dhimmis at cincinnati.com. The original Face Book post in the first link above includes a list of signatories which I have omitted from the text below.

Bridges of Faith Trialogue

Yesterday at 10:16am ·

Dear President Elect Trump,

We are a group of Muslims, Christians and Jews in Ohio called Bridges of Faith Trialogue, who have come together for the past 13 years fostering mutual respect¹ and understanding. The Trialogue has grown into a model of interfaith dialogue and collective work for our community. In so doing, we are living the belief that our communities and our country are stronger and greater when people from diverse cultures and traditions work together on common causes².

You have been elected on a message of making America great again³. You have also stated you plan to be the President for all Americans and create a country in which we can all be proud and prosperous. America is a nation built by immigrants who have enriched this country with their talent and hard work. As the new leader of the United States, it will be important that you make Americans of all religions⁴, races, genders and cultures feel included in your goal to make America great again.

As President you must lead the effort to be inclusive of all Americans. We urge everyone to put negative rhetoric aside and for you to bring together a leadership team that can help unite Americans and move us forward together. As our new President, you cannot be successful if any segment of our society feels disenfranchised by you or your administration.

We commit as individuals, as a group and as part of many diverse groups to work with you to create a country in which no one feels excluded or becomes a victim of prejudice. Like you, we want an America that is free of racism⁵ and bigotry⁶ and believe that only by returning to these principles upon which our country that we love was founded will America reach its full potential and stand as a shining model for the rest of the world.

We implore you not to forget Abraham Lincoln's words from his second Inaugural Address, "With malice towards none, with charity for all... let us strive to finish the work we are in, to bind up the nation's wounds." Thank you.
Respectfully,

Bridges of Faith Trialogue

mutual respect

    Christians & Jews may respect Muslims if they are damned fools, but Muslims will never reciprocate. In Islamic eyes, Jews earned Allah's wrath and Christians went astray. They curse us early and often. Our blood and treasure are not sacred to Muslims and we have no human rights until we become Muslims. Its open season! In the list of impure substances, we rank between dogs and liquor.

common cause

    The Muslim's cause is global imposition of  Shari'ah. [More evidence.] Did we make common cause with Nazis in WWII?  Why not?

Trump's Platform

    While #MAGA was the centerpiece of the campaign, Candidate Trump also promised  to "keep radical Islamic terrorism the Hell out of America".  Although President Elect Trump probably does not know it, excluding terrorism requires excluding Muslims.

    Muslims carry Islam with them wherever they go and terrorism is an intrinsic sacrament of Islam. Muslims are commanded to "strike terror" and  "terrify" "enemies" .  Allah said he would and did cast terror. Moe said he was made victorious with terror.

Americans of all religions

    Muslims are not Americans: they are Muslims! Their  allegiance  is to Allah and the Ummah, not to America. Prior to the invasion of Afghanistan, they were under fard al-kifaya: a communal obligation to wage war against us. Following that invasion, their Jihad obligation is fard ain:  individually binding on all Muslims wheresoever dispersed over the face of  the earth.  If you have doubt, read about it in The Book Of Jihad.   The commands to wage war are found here: 

• 9.29
• 9.123
• If they don't, they go to Hell.  If they do, they go to Allah's celestial orgy. 

racism

    Did Ayaan Hirsi Ali change her race when she apostatized or is she still Black?  Did Dougie Hooper change his race when he reverted to Islam or is he still white?  

Who wrote this, was he a Jew or Christian? Was he a racist?

The   reason for this is that (the Arabs) are a savage nation, fully
accustomed to savagery and the things that cause it. Savagery has become their
character and nature. They enjoy it, because it means freedom from authority and no
subservience to leadership. Such a natural disposition is the negation and antithesis
of civilization. All the customary activities of the Arabs lead to travel and
movement. This is the antithesis and negation of stationariness, which produces
civilization. For instance, the Arabs need stones to set them up as supports for their
cooking pots. So, they take them from buildings which they tear down to get the
stones, and use them for that purpose. Wood, too, is needed by them for props for
their tents and for use as tent poles for their dwell ings. So, they tear down roofs to
get the wood for that purpose. The very nature of their existence is the negation of
building, which is the basis of civilization. This is the case with them quite
generally.

Furthermore, it is their nature to plunder whatever other people possess.
Their sustenance lies wherever the shadow of their lances falls. They recognize no
limit in taking the possessions of other people. Whenever their eyes fall upon some
property, furnishings, or utensils, they take it. When they acquire superiority and
royal authority, they have complete power to plunder (as they please). There no
longer exists any political (power) to protect property, and civilization is ruined.

On page 197 of the same text, we find this:
Therefore, the Negro nations are, as a rule, submissive to slavery, because
(Negroes) have little (that is essentially) human and have attributes that are quite
similar to those of dumb animals, as we have state.

    The author of those passages was a North African Arab!  

The following image is from page 48 of an anthology of hadith from Mishkat Ul-Misabih. The story is on pages 117-118 of  the third volume of Mishkat if you can find it. http://aaiil.org/text/books/others/durrani/mishkatulmasabeehmasabih/mishkatulmasabeehmasabih.pdf#page=48

Fact based objection to Islamic doctrine and practice is not racism. It is not a function of physignomy or pigmentation, it is opposition to pure unmitigated evil including racism and misogyny.

Bigotry

    Bigotry denotes hidebound adherence to prejudice in the face of  facts. The fatal facts of Islam are to be found in its cannon. Sane, intelligent and open minded men of good will curse and condemn Islam after discovering those facts in the Qur'an,  hadith, sira and shari'ah.  

    having read two Qur'an translations, four of the six sittah, The Sealed Nectar and sampled The Reliance Of The  Traveller, Hedaya, Risala and The Life Of Muhammad, I am no bigot.  I know the truth about Islam and I will not be silent.

    The worst bigots are those who adhere to the hidebound prejudice that "Islam is a great religion of peace." having nothing to do with  Jihad, genocide, terrorism, slavery & oppression.  

    Most of the facts which contradict that prejudice are contained in pdf files embedded in this blog page:
http://islamexposed.blogspot.com/p/islam-101-for-politicians.html  Two files not included in that page show that Allah is Satan, not Jehovah.:

Muslims curse us

• 1.7
• 2.160
• 9.30
• They smile in our faces although inwardly they curse us.
• They are commanded to wage war against us.
• 9.29
• 9.123

imposition of shari'ah

   In the Muslim community, the holy war is a religious duty, because of the
universalism of the (Muslim) mission and (the obligation to) convert everybody to
Islam either by persuasion or by force. Therefore, caliphate and royal authority are
united in (Islam), so that the person in charge can devote the available strength to
both of them  at the same time.  https://asadullahali.files.wordpress.com/2012/10/ibn_khaldun-al_muqaddimah.pdf#page=303

Obamination: Liar, Liar, Pants on Fire!

Bare Naked Islam posted a still shot taken from the video of the execution of the Qur'an at the Dove World Outreach Center. I saved that image, cropped, adjusted and enlarged it for maximum clarity.

This is the original image, as posted at BNI.

Examine it closely. Note that the cover is to the right of the back binding. Arabic Qur'ans are printed from right to left, their bindings are on the right side, not the left.  Note that the title is in English, barely legible.

In this cropped image, the Qur'an is brought up close. Note the title.

This cropped image has been enlarged as much as possible and adjusted for maximum clarity.

The English title is legible. Because of the binding and title, we know that the executed Qur'an was an English translation, not an Arabic Qur'an.

Routledge encyclopedia of translation studies   By Mona Baker  will give you some important background information on the controversy over translating the Qur'an into other languages. 

    When the PLO seized the Church of the Nativity, they performed istijmar with pages torn from the Bible. There was an on line fatwa permitting the practice, but it has been scrubbed.  They don't consider the Bible to be holy, because the Qur'an supersedes it, and claims it to be corrupted.

    It is required that Qur'an recitation be performed in Arabic.  They assert that no other language can convey the full meaning of the Arabic words.  They consider translations to be interpretations of the meaning of the Qur'an, not the Qur'an itself, so burning it should be no skin off their noses.

    Pastors Jones & Sapp spent four hours trying the Qur'an before convicting and executing it. I was unable to view the streaming video, so I do not know what evidence was presented by the prosecutor, but I know that he is an apostate fluent in Arabic.  The prosecution witnesses were also apostates.

    I have no knowledge of the evidence presented or witnesses called, if any, by the defense. I would like to see both sides post their briefs and evidence in pdf format. 

    In any case, rioting, murder & malicious destruction of property in reaction to the trial & execution of a Qur'an translation do not defend it, instead they pile on evidence of its evil effect on believers. 

    Obamination had remarks on the subject Saturday, since they are not yet posted on the White House blog, I rely on quotes found in a report on Yahoo News.

"The desecration of any holy text, including the Koran, is an act of extreme intolerance and bigotry,"

 

desecration

How anyone, especially the President of the United States, can impute sanctity to the Koran, or consider it to be sacred, is beyond imagining. What is sacred about a text which attributes divine sanction to imperatives for offensive conquest on a global scale, terrorism & genocide?  Muslims & liars will aver that the Qur'an does not do so. I challenge them to disprove the obvious!

• 8:39. And fight them until there is no more Fitnah (disbelief and polytheism: i.e. worshipping others besides Allâh) and the religion (worship) will all be for Allâh Alone [in the whole of the world ]. But if they cease (worshipping others besides Allâh), then certainly, Allâh is All-Seer of what they do. 
  • Tafsir Ibn Kathir
• 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. 
  • Tafsir Ibn Kathir
• 8:12. (Remember) when your Lord inspired the angels, "Verily, I am with you, so keep firm those who have believed. I will cast terror into the hearts of those who have disbelieved, so strike them over the necks, and smite over all their fingers and toes." 
• 8:57. So if you gain the mastery over them in war, punish them severely in order to disperse those who are behind them, so that they may learn a lesson.
• 9:120. It was not becoming of the people of Al-Madinah and the bedouins of the neighbourhood to remain behind Allah's Messenger (Muhammad SAW when fighting in Allah'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 Allah, 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, Allah wastes not the reward of the Muhsinun* 
• 8:67. 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.  

    What can be more profane than attributing to deity a desire for genocide?

intolerance

    What is more  intolerant than declaring war upon people because they do not share your superstition?  Is there any rational excuse for tolerating that?  The President of the United States implied that we should tolerate the damnable doctrines which motivated the Magnificent Nineteen  to hijack four airliners and slit the throats of the flight crews with the intention of flying them into occupied office buildings.

    Demanding that we tolerate and hold sacred that which instigated Abomination 9/11 is treason, for which Obama should be impeached.

bigotry

    Bigotry implies prejudice. Jones judged the Qur'an, based on evidence.  That is judgment, not bigotry.  Obama is "a person who is obstinately or intolerantly devoted to his or her own opinions and prejudices" concerning Islam, in denial of the evidence. 

No religion tolerates the slaughter and beheading of innocent people, and there is no justification for such a dishonorable and deplorable act.

 

slaughter

    When one Jewish tribe surrendered following a two week siege, Moe slaughtered all the adult men and adolescent boys. Everything he did is sunnah: exemplary conduct to be emulated.  If no religion tolerates slaughter, then Islam is no religion.

• Sunan Abu Dawud Book 38, Number 4390:
  Narrated Atiyyah al-Qurazi:
  I was among the captives of Banu Qurayzah. They (the Companions) examined us, and those who had begun to grow hair (pubes) were killed, and those who had not were not killed. I was among those who had not grown hair.

innocent

    Only Muslims are innocent, all others are kuffar and rebels against Allah.

• 5:33. The recompense of those who wage war against Allah and His Messenger and do mischief in the land is only that they shall be killed or crucified or their hands and their feet be cut off on the opposite sides, or be exiled from the land. That is their disgrace in this world, and a great torment is theirs in the Hereafter.
  • 'Wage war' mentioned here means, oppose and contradict, and it includes disbelief, blocking roads and spreading fear in the fairways. Tafsir Ibn Kathir

Anti-Muslim Bigotry

A new post at Barenaked Islam pointed to two articles accusing Islam's opponents of bigotry.

Michelle Boorstein asks at the Washington Post: How influential will anti-Muslim groups become?

For years there has been a small but passionate group of people concerned with the influence of Islam, and their activism seemed to be largely focused on blogging and lobbying political conservatives. But their presence -- and the arguments they raise -- seem to be coming into the broader sphere of late.

The author cites the controversy over the Cordoba House project and Paypal's censorship of Atlas Shrugs. The Salon article she links to shouts "racially-motivated hatred" in its headline.

The entire anti-mosque campaign isn't about anything other than pure, paranoid Islamophobia.

The article closes with a short story about two Arab Christians who were allegedly driven away from a recent protest of Cordoba House in N.Y.C. Atlas Shrugs posted a communication from one of the Arab Cristians involved in that incident. Here is one paragraph from that communication.

The reason I am writing to you, is because I am very disappointed in the mainstream media who used this minor incident to make a blanket generalization about all the attendees of the rally as Muslim haters.This kind of generalization was unfair to the good American people who legitimately stand against the building of a mosque next to ground zero and who are against Islamist agenda in the US. I am very well aware of such an agenda which has destroyed the Christian and Jewish existence in the Middle East.

Now you know what theose smug, smarmy left wingers are doing to pull the woll over your eyes.

The REAL News Network posted a video of two academics making the usual smarmy, self-righteous denunciation of "bigotry". Note their loaded title:

How Western anti-Muslim bigotry became respectable.

According to them, the Islamic conquest and occupation of Southern & Eastern Europe was the greatest thing before sliced bread. It produced a wonderful culture of architecture, infrastructure and academia. They don't give a damn about the slaugher, enslavement or burning of churches and monestaries. Oh, no, those are minor, inconsequential incidents.

According to the Socialist narrative, all opposition to Islam is bigotry; Islamophobia. It is evidence of paranoia. Their narrative is false and malignant. An estimated 270*10⁶ people were slaughtered by Islam since 622. The slaughter of Hundus and the Armenian & Assyrian genocides flow directly from the foundational texts of Islam.

Genocide

Allah's divine word includes these gems of genocidal bestiality. Denial is not a river in Egypt. You can not disprove objective factual reality.

8:67. 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.

47:4. So, when you meet (in fight Jihâd in Allâh's Cause), those who disbelieve smite at their necks till when you have killed and wounded many of them, then bind a bond firmly (on them, i.e. take them as captives). Thereafter (is the time) either for generosity (i.e. free them without ransom), or ransom (according to what benefits Islâm), until the war lays down its burden. Thus [you are ordered by Allâh to continue in carrying out Jihâd against the disbelievers till they embrace Islâm (i.e. are saved from the punishment in the Hell-fire) or at least come under your protection], but if it had been Allâh's Will, He Himself could certainly have punished them (without you). But (He lets you fight), in order to test you, some with others. But those who are killed in the Way of Allâh, He will never let their deeds be lost,

The differential desires of Moe and Allah are clear from the phrases which I emphasized with bold font. Moe wanted ransom, Allah wants great slaughter, killed and wounded many of them. I linked the Surah:ayeh numbers to a table of ten parallel translations so that you can verify the obvious meaning of the quotes.

Of course, it could not possibly mean that, could it. No, those verses must be metaphorical or allegorical. Yeah, right. Ibn Kathir explained them in
The Command to strike the Enemies' Necks, tighten Their Bonds, and then free Them either by an Act of Grace or for a Ransom.

(until you have fully defeated them,) meaning, `you have killed and utterly destroyed them.'

It appears that this Ayah was revealed after the battle of Badr. At that time, Allah reproached the believers for sparing many of the enemy's soldiers, and holding too many captives in order to take ransom from them.

Surely those are anachronisms, long since expired. Yeah, right.

(There will always be a group of my Ummah victorious upon the truth, until the last of them fight against Ad-Dajjal.)

jihad will be performed continuously since the day Allah sent me as a prophet until the day the last member of my community will fight with the Dajjal (Antichrist). Sunan Abu Dawud 14.2526

So, where is my proof? My proof is in another hadith collected by Abu Dawud. Read it carefully, paying particular attention to the parts I emphasized.

Sunan Abu Dawud Book 38, Number 4390:

Narrated Atiyyah al-Qurazi:
I was among the captives of Banu Qurayzah. They (the Companions) examined us, and those who had begun to grow hair (pubes) were killed, and those who had not were not killed. I was among those who had not grown hair.

Had Atiyya reached puberty, he would have been slaughtered, he would not have survived to narrate that saying. When the Banu Qurayzah surrendered, Moe had their men and adolescent boys slaughtered. The estimates run between 700 and 900 decapitations in that incident. And they are not finished yet. Muslims can not open the gates of Paradise until they complete the genocide of the Jews.

Sahih Muslim Book 041, Number 6985:
Abu Huraira reported Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) as saying: The last hour would not come unless the Muslims will fight against the Jews and the Muslims would kill them until the Jews would hide themselves behind a stone or a tree and a stone or a tree would say: Muslim, or the servant of Allah, there is a Jew behind me; come and kill him; but the tree Gharqad would not say, for it is the tree of the Jews.

Genocide is not only a divine imperative, it is sunah, an example for future genrations of Muslims to emulate. Now let us examine the consequence of the codification of that divine imperative and exemplary conduct. I quote from CPPCG.

Article 3

The following acts shall be punishable:

(a) Genocide;

(b) Conspiracy to commit genocide;

(c) Direct and public incitement to commit genocide;

(d ) Attempt to commit genocide;

(e) Complicity in genocide.

Article 3(c) of the Convention on the prevention and punishment of the crime of genocide requires that Islam be proscribed by law. Other standing violations of international human rights covenants which require the proscription of Islam are documented in Islam vs Human Rights.

Islam is intolerant; 3:85. And whoever seeks a religion other than Islâm, it will never be accepted of him, and in the Hereafter he will be one of the losers. In 9:29, it declares perpetual war on Jews, Christians & Zoroastrians.

The current contrempts center around Ground Zero, where Muslims seek to erect a Mosque in the Burlignton Coat Factory outlet, as a symbol of superiority. There is a little secret most Amaericans are unaware of. Islamic law forbids conquered Christians from building or maintianing churches. The quote is from a list of seven restrictions on dhimmis found in Reliance of the Traveller, Book O11.5.

-7- and are forbidden to build new churches. http://www.crusadersarmory.co.cc/RelianceO11-5.html

We have ample cause for objecting to Islam's violence, supremacism, intolerance, terrorism & genocide. Our objection is not bigotry nor is it racism; Islam is a predatory way of life, not a race.
