The Big Lie: Terrorism Cannot be Associated With Islam

Two draft resolutions currently under debate in the U.N. General
Assembly’s Third Committee share boiler plate reaffirming an accursed lie.
This post ignores the rest of the resolution text to concentrate on
refuting the big lie.

While pretending to combat intolerance  &
violence based on religion and promote freedom of religion or belief,
these resolutions actually militate against freedom of religion,
promote violence and ignore the fact that tolerance becomes an evil
when applied to evil.

Terrorism is an intrinsic sacrament of Islam.
Allah commands and exemplifies casting terror.  Muhammad
deliberately built a reputation for barbarian rapine so as to
intimidate prospective victims so that they would surrender without
resistance.

The authors and sponsors of these resolutions seek
to criminalize criticism of Islam.   They want to be able to
persecute and torture me for uttering and publishing the fatal facts
found in this blog post.

Who Associated Islam with Terrorism?

Allah

Surah Al-Imran

3:151. We shall cast terror
into the hearts of those who disbelieve,
because they joined others in worship with Allâh, for which He had sent
no authority; their abode will be the Fire and how evil is the abode of
the Zâlimûn (polytheists and wrong­doers).

The Prohibition of Obeying the Disbelievers; the Cause
of Defeat at Uhud…”Allah next conveys the good news that He will put fear of the
Muslims, and feelings of subordination to the Muslims in the
hearts of their disbelieving enemies, because of their Kufr and Shirk.
“…

Tafsir Ibn Abbas …fear of you such that
they run from you…

Surah Al-Anfal

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.”

Allah commands the Angels to fight and support the
Believers … I
will cast fear, disgrace and humiliation over those who defied My
command and denied My Messenger,…

Tafsir Ibn Abbas …(I will throw) cast
(fear into the hearts of those who disbelieve) the fear of Muhammad
(pbuh) and his Companions. ( …

 

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.

• so
  as to strike fear
• thereby
  strike fear
  in those that are behind them

 Striking Hard against Those Who disbelieve and
break the Covenants …This Ayah commands punishing them harshly
and inflicting casualties on them. This way, other enemies, Arabs and
non-Arabs, will be afraid and take a lesson from their end, …

Tafsir Ibn Abbas  …deal with them so as to strike
fear in those who are behind them) such that they serve as a lesson
to those who are behind them, …

8:60. And make ready against them all you can of
power, including steeds of war (tanks, planes, missiles, artillery,
etc.) to threaten
the enemy of
Allâh and your enemy, and others besides whom, you may not know but
whom Allâh does know. And whatever you shall spend in the Cause of
Allâh shall be repaid unto you, and you shall not be treated unjustly.

• to strike
  terror
• to frighten
  thereby
• strike terror

Making Preparations for War to strike Fear in the
Hearts of the Enemies of Allah  …(to threaten), or to
strike fear,…

Tafsir al-Jalalayn  …that thereby you may dismay, terrify…

Surah Al-Ahzab

33:26. And those of the people of the Scripture
who backed them (the disbelievers) Allâh brought them down from their
forts and cast
terror into their hearts, (so that) a group (of them) you
killed, and a group (of them) you made captives.

33:27. And He caused
you to inherit their lands, and their houses, and their riches,
and a land which you had not trodden (before). And Allâh is Able to do
all things.

Read The Campaign against Banu Qurayzah
in Tafsir Ibn Kathir to see the convergence of 8:57 & 59:2 and to
discover the identities of the group that was killed and the group that
was taken captive.  Moe slaughtered the men and adolescent boys
who had surrendered after a long siege.

Surah Al-Hashr

59:2.
He it is Who drove out the disbelievers among the people of the
Scripture (i.e. the Jews of the tribe of Banî An-Nadîr) from their
homes at the first gathering. You did not think that they would get
out. And they thought that their fortresses would defend them from
Allâh! But Allâh’s (Torment) reached them from a place whereof they
expected it not, and He cast terror into
their hearts, so that they destroyed their own dwellings with
their own hands and the hands of the believers. Then take admonition, O
you with eyes (to see).

59:13. Verily, you (believers in
the Oneness of Allâh – Islâmic Monotheism) are more awful as a fear
in their (Jews of Banî An-Nadîr) breasts than Allâh. That is
because they are a people who comprehend not (the Majesty and Power of
Allâh).

 

Muhammad

Sahih Bukhari Volume 1, Book 7, Number 331:

Narrated Jabir bin ‘Abdullah:

The Prophet said, “I have been given five things which were not given
to any one else before me.

1. Allah
made me victorious by awe, (by His frightening my enemies) for a
distance of one month’s journey.

2. The earth has been made for me (and for my followers) a place for
praying and a thing to perform Tayammum, therefore anyone of my
followers can pray wherever the time of a prayer is due.

3. The booty
has been made Halal (lawful) for me yet it was not lawful for anyone
else before me.

4. I have been given the right of intercession (on the Day of
Resurrection).

5. Every Prophet used to be sent to
his nation only but I have been sent to all mankind.

Sahih Bukhari Volume 4, Book 52, Number 220:

Narrated Abu Huraira:

Allah’s Apostle said, “I have been sent with the
shortest expressions bearing the widest meanings, and I
have been made victorious with terror (cast in the hearts of the
enemy), and while I was sleeping, the
keys of the treasures of the world were brought to me and put in my
hand.” Abu Huraira added: Allah’s Apostle has left the world and
now you, people, are bringing out those treasures (i.e. the Prophet did
not benefit by them).

How did Allah cast terror?

Maulana Mufti Muhammad Shafi, commenting
on 59:2, in the Mariful Qur’an, says that Moe’s companions were the
agency of terror, by cutting and burning date trees.

• So, some
  of the blessed Companions, in order to anger them or cast terror
  into their hearts, cut and
  burned down some of their date trees.

He
also cast terror by murder and genocide.  Guillaume’s translation
of Hishham’s Rescension of Sirat Rasul Alah [The
Life of Muhammad] provides more details of a disturbing
nature.  You really should go to Amazon and purchase a copy to
read.  8:57 & 60get
clarified on page 326.

‘If
you come upon them in war, deal with them so forcibly as to terrify

those
who follow them, haply they may take warning,’ i.e. make a severe

example of them to those that come after, that haply they may
understand.

‘And prepare what strength you can against them, and cavalry by which

you
may strike terror into the enemy of God and your enemy‘ as far
as His

words, ‘And whatever you spend in the way of God will be repaid to you:

you will not be wronged,’ i.e. you will not lose your reward with God in

the next life and a rapid recompense in this world.

Moe,
sensitive to the fact that he was a false prophet acting out of
mercenary motives, routinely had critics murdered Ka’b Ibn ai-Ashraf
was one of them; the story of his murder is in Sahih
Muslim 19.4436.
The Sira adds a clarifying detail which tells us more about by what
mechanism Allah cast terror.  This brilliant little gem is found
on page 368.

Our
attack upon God’s enemy cast terror among
the Jews, and there was no Jew in
Medina

who
did not fear for his life.

The
assassination of Ka’b Ibn ai-Ashraf terrorized the Jews of Medina so
they all feared impending murder.   Asma bint Marwan was
enraged by Ka’b’s murder and recited critical poetry for which Moe had
her assassinated too.  The following gem of revelation is found on
page 676.

The
day after Bint Marwan was killed the men of B.

Khatma became Muslims because they
saw the power of Islam.

A
tribe, terrified by her assassination, converted to Islam rather than
defend themselves.  The raid on the Khaibar Oasis had a similar
effect, illustrative of 8:57 which confirms how Allah cast
terror.  This gem of revelation is found on page 523.

When
the apostle had finished
with Khaybar, God struck terror to the

hearts
of the men of Fadak when they
heard what the apostle had done to

the
men of Khaybar. They
sent to him an offer of peace on condition that

they should keep half of their produce. Their messengers came to him in

Khaybar or on the road or after he came to Medina, and he accepted their

terms. Thus Fadak became his private property, because it had not been 

attacked by horse or camel.

Further elaboration & confirmation is found in
the story of the conquest of B. Qurayza on page 461.

The
apostle passed by a number of his companions in al-Saurayn before

he got to B. Qurayza and asked if anyone had passed them. They replied 

that Dihya b. Khalifa al-Kalbi had passed upon a white mule with a
saddle

covered with a piece of brocade. He said, ‘That was Gabriel
who has been

sent
to B. Qurayza to shake their castles and strike terror to their hearts.’

Yeah, right, they saw an angel riding a mule.
But there is more and more realistic on the same page.

The
apostle besieged
the B. Qurayza for twenty-five nights until they were sore

pressed
and God cast terror into their hearts.

Then Moe enslaved the women and children, slaughtering the men and
adolescent boys as a terrifying example for other intended victims. Its
in 33:26-27
and on page 468.

‘And he cast
terror into their

hearts; some you slew and some you captured,’ i.e. he killed
the men and

captured
the women and children. ‘And caused you to inherit their land

and their dwellings, and their property, and a land you had not trod,’
i.e.

Khaybar. ‘For Allah can do all things.’
