CAIR vs. Pompaeo: Both are Wrong
Rep. Mike Pompeo (R. Kan.) spent nearly five minutes calling on Islamic
leaders to denounce terrorism. I first learned of his speech from
Bare Naked Islam. As predicted by BNI, CAIR
reacted with a demand for apology.
The video clip of the speech is embedded below,
followed by my transcription of the remarks. I have placed
superscripts in the text, linked to a list of comments. To read a
comment, click its superscript. To return to the transcript, use your
backspace key.
Its been just under two months since
the attacks in Boston and in those intervening weeks, the silence of
Muslim leaders has been deafening. And that is sad, but perhaps
most importantly it’s dangerous1.
There have now been at least a dozen attacks by
Muslim terrorists on U.S. soil since Ramzi Yousef‘s
parked rental van exploded in the basement of the World Trade
Center on February 26 of 1993. Some have caused death and injury
such as the 9-11 attacks in 2001 and Nidal Hasan’s mass shooting at
Fort Hood Texas. Other attacks such as Faisal Shahzad’s fizzled Times
Square bombing or the unsuccessful underwear bombing of a flight were
thwarted or aborted.
Yet failed or not, all of these attacks
were
successful in scaring Americans; successful in reducing our freedom, in
the most freedom loving nation on earth. Successful in slowing our
economy and successful in demonstrating that a free and open society
can potentially be vulnerable. They were, in the former Attorney
General Mike Mukasey’s
words, crimes2
that are none the less meant to send a terrorist message.
When the most devastating terrorist attacks on
America in the last twenty years come overwhelmingly from people of a
single faith3
and are performed in the name of that faith4, a special
obligation falls on those who are the leaders of that faith.
Instead of responding, silence has made these Islamic leaders across
America potentially complicit5 in these acts and, more
importantly
still, those that may well follow.
If a religion claims6 to be one of peace, Mr.
Speaker, it’s leaders must reject violence that is perpetrated in its
name. Some clerics today suggest that modern Jihad is non-violent
and is only about making oneself a better Muslim. Perhaps that’s
true7
for moderate Muslims, but extremists seek to revive the era
when most Islamic scholars8 understood Jihad to be
holy war.
Mr. Speaker, for decades Middle Eastern oil money have [sic]
propounded
this more extreme violent interpretation9 in mosques around the
world. Less than two months after the 9-11 atrocities an
Egyptian Brotherhood preacher who is probably the most influential
Sunni cleric today, declared suicide bombing to be legitimate. He said
“these are historic heroic commando and martyrdom attacks and should
not be called suicide.”.
So, what is it that these Islamic leaders must
say? First, that there is never any justification for
terrorism10.
No political goal legitimizes terrorism11.
Terrorism is
never excusable as ‘resistance’12. Imams must say
unequivocally13
that terrorist actions- killing and maiming
[unintelligible- may be: solely is wrong].
They must also publicly and repeatedly
denounce radical14
clerics who seek to justify terrorism.
There is a battle of interpretation15
within
Islam, its not enough to deny responsibility saying one’s own
interpretation doesn’t support terrorism. Moderate16
Imams must strive to ensure that no Muslim finds solace for terrorism17
in the Qur’an. They must cite the Qur’an as evidence that the
murder of innocents18 is not permitted
by good believing19
Muslims and must immediately refute all claims to the contrary.
Finally, Muslim leaders must say that there is no
room for militant Islamism in the religion of peace20.
These statements must be made frequently, publicly and in the
mosques. Yes, in the mosques and in the madrassahs where many
learn their Islamic religion.
You know we have to call evil by its name in
order
to stamp it out21.
Downplaying atrocities and rampages assures more of them.
Every Muslim leader must unequivocally proclaim that terror
committed in the name of Islam violates the core tenets of the prophet
Muhammad22
and they must do so repeatedly, period.
My own faith has occasionally been hijacked in
the
name of violence and cruelty including in Kansas my home state by Fred
Phelps and his Westborough Baptist Church. In
response, hundreds of protestant ministers preached that Mr. Phelps’
actions violate the most fundamental Christian traditions and denounced
he [sic] and his church’s evil acts. Pope John Paul II similarly
apologized for the Catholic Church’s failure to do more to speak out
against the evils of Nazism and to protect Jews from the
Holocaust.
Just as these religious leaders have called up
those
who have acted cruelly and brutally in the name of their faith, so too
must Muslim religious leaders refute terrorist theology23.
We are now two decades into Islamic radicals
attacking Americans on U.S. soil; I know that not every Muslim supports
these actions. Dr. Zuhdi Jasser of the American Islamic Forum for
Democracy has spoken out in a clear and consistent way so has
Zainab Al-Suwai of the American Islamic Congress but the silence
in the face of extremism coming from the best funded Islamic advocacy
organizations and many mosques across America is absolutely
deafening. It casts doubt upon the commitment to peace by
adherents of the Muslim faith. This is utterly unacceptable, it
is dangerous24;
it must end. I yield back, Mr. Speaker.
Islamic condemnation of terrorism:
http://kurzman.unc.edu/islamic-statements-against-terrorism/
Mustafa Mashhur, General Guide,
Muslim Brotherhood, Egypt; Qazi Hussain Ahmed, Ameer, Jamaat-e-Islami
Pakistan, Pakistan; Muti Rahman Nizami, Ameer, Jamaat-e-Islami
Bangladesh, Bangladesh; Shaykh Ahmad Yassin, Founder, Islamic
Resistance Movement (Hamas), Palestine; Rashid Ghannoushi, President,
Nahda Renaissance Movement, Tunisia; Fazil Nour, President, PAS – Parti
Islam SeMalaysia, Malaysia; and 40 other Muslim scholars and
politicians:
We condemn, in the strongest terms, the
incidents, which are against all human and Islamic norms. This is
grounded in the Noble Laws of Islam which forbid all forms of attacks
on innocents.
Islamic condemnations of terrorism are the worst sort of malignant
malarkey. Islam can not condemn its own sacraments! I have dealt
with this crap before, in detail. Some links to the Qur’an, hadith
& tafsir may be broken, but the quotes are still accurate.
- The OIC Remembers the Victims of 9/11 on its 10th
Anniversary 09/17/11 The OIC Remembers the Victims of 9/11 on
its 10th Anniversary. The
OIC did not condemn the
Accursed Abomination, it celebrated it, smirking & snickering at
your gullibility. Read between the lines and between the words,
scratch the surface and delve into Islam’s canon to discover the
unpleasant objective factual reality.
The OIC’s malignant
pretense is reproduced below with superscripts linked to my revelatory
evidence and comments. Click anysuperscript to read the comment,
then use your Backspace key to return to your place in the septic spew. - “Condemn in the
Strongest Possible Terms” 04/07/11
“We
condemn the attack on innocent civilians in southern Israel in the
strongest possible terms as well as ongoing rocket fire from
Gaza,” Do you have the fortitude to view a cleaned up version of
the strongest possible terms, terms the Traitors won’t use? - Terrorism Fatwa: Feces
03/04/10 A Sufi Sheikh living in Britain issued a 88
page summary of a 600 page fatwa supposedly ruling terrorism &
suicide bombing harram. I exposed his malignant malarkey.
- Silence is less dangerous and
threatening than false assurances of passivity. False assertions
that Islam is the “religion of peace” lull some listeners into
inattention and apathy. - Islamic terrorist attacks are acts of war,
not civil criminal offenses. The crime-investigation-trial-punishment
model does not fit; the war-victory model is required. Because Muslims
are motivated to terrorism by Allah’s imperatives,
threat & promise, Muslims will never cease from attacking
until they become extinct. Extinction is victory; anything less is
defeat. - Muslims engage in terrorism because
it
is Allah’s battle tactic: to so
brutalize victims
that those “behind them” will “learn a lesson”; so that they will be
terrorized and thereby rendered unable to mount an effective
resistance. The use of terms such as “fearsome example” &
“strike terror” used in the parallel translations of Surah Al-Anfal 57
will afford a clue to the intelligent reader. - Islamic terrorism is performed in
the name of Allah: “Allah hu akbar”: the takbir which is
exclaimed when the attack is commenced, attaches the brand. They
shouted the takbir when they slit the throats of the flight crews; just
as they shout it when sacrificing the hadi at the eids. They
sacrificed their victims to Satan. - Imams are not complicit in terrorism
because they fail to condemn it, they are complicit because they teach,
preach and encourage it; they are Muslims–believers. Look up the
definition of believers in the Qur’an! 9:111
, 49:15. - Islam does not mean peace, it means
submission. ‘You will submit or we will make peace by waging war
and exterminate you. ‘ Imams can not reject anything that is part
of the Qur’an or part of Moe’s Sunnah. I disrespectfully direct
doubters, dissenters & deniers, damn fools one and all, to The Reliance of the Traveller, Book O8.7.
Tell
those Islamic leaders to denounce attacks against Jews & Israel and
observe their reaction. What is the difference between the many
bus and restaurant bombings in Israel and the Boston bombing?Open the Qur’an to 2:85,
and read it repeatedly until you understand it. Are Muslims
allowed to
pick what they like from that book and reject the rest? Islam is
an all or nothing, bundled package deal; take it or leave it. Study
9:29;
what does it command Muslims to do? Does it have geographic
limits?
Does it have an expiration date? What the Hell does it mean?http://www.islam-universe.com/tafsir//9.20980.html
http://www.muslimaccess.com/sunnah/hadeeth/bukhari/008.html#001.008.387
- The Qur’an does not define
Jihad.
Go to Corpus Qur’an and look up the Arabic terms used for it,
the third word in 2:216.. Hilali & Khan defined Jihad in a
footnote to 2:190. The legal definition is given in The Reliance of the Traveller O9.0. Is it
Jihad an-Nafs? Now, Smart Ass, explain to me exactly how a
Mujihideen gets
killed
in Jihad an-Nafs!!! And, being so God blessed smart, explain in
another comment exactly what Moe meant when he said he would love nothing better than multiple martyrdom!!What did Jihad mean to Moe? What did he
do
about it? Why does each of the six canonical hadith collections
have a “Book of Jihad”? - Islam is static, defined in
the immutable
Qur’an and exemplified by Moe’s Sunnah. It is and always will be
what it was when Moe died. - There is only one authentic
interpretation of the Qur’an: Moe’s. Read his Sunnah! He
said that he was ordered to fight with men. He fought. He dictated extortion letters and dispatched them to
neighboring kings by private courier. - Allah sanctified terrorism.
He said that he would cast terror into the hearts of disbelievers. 3:151,
8:12.
He said that he did cast terror: 33:26, 59:2. He commanded Muslims to take actions
designed to strike terror into the hearts of disbelievers: 8:57,
8:60. - Moe’s tactical objective was to keep
the loot flowing. His strategic objective was global domination;
read 8:39
with particular attention to the compound terminal conditions stated
therein. What part of “altogether and everywhere” or”in the
entire world” do you not understand? - Of course, resistance is their
rationalization for terrorism in the reconquest of Israel.
Demanding that their sophistry will accomplish nothing. - Moe is considered by Muslims to be the perfect
role model, to be emulated by all Muslims, in all places; at all
times. Moe was a terrorist, by his own testimony: Sahih Bukhari 1.7.331, 4.52.220. To see examples of Moe’s terrorism, read
the oldest extant biography: The Life of Muhammad;
page 368, page 523 and page 676. Rep. Pompeo demanded that Imams
renounce Moe’s terrorism, which would be, under Shari’ah, a death
penalty offense. - When applied to Islam and
Muslims, terms such as “radical” & “extremist” are superfluous.
Normative Islam, as Moe preached and exemplified it, is genocidal,
terrorist & imperialist. Believers are
only those who “fight in Allah’s cause”: 9:111,
49:15.
The rest are hypocrites, whose Islam does not reach beyond their throats. - Moe interpreted Allah’s word with
every word he spoke and act he performed. Refer to Sahih Bukhari’s books of Jihad, Khumus &
Expedition and to Guillaume’s The Life of Muhammad. - If they are moderate,
they ain’t Muslims; they are hypocrites,
to be killed and gathered
together with us into Hell. - Yes, of course, so nobody can
find these: 3:151, 8:12,39,57,60,65,67,
9:5,29,38, 39,111,120,123,
33:26,27,
47:4,49:15,
59:2,13,61:10-13;
Sahih Bukhari 1.7.331 & 4.52.220. What part of “None
can change His Words.” does the Congressman not comprehend? - Define innocent!
Extract a definition of innocent from an Imam, Alim or Qadi. Then
plant your foot in his butt because he is
a damned liar. Killing believers is expressly
forbidden. 5:32
does not mean what you think it does. Muslims will not cite 5:33
because it revels the awful truth: only Muslims are
innocent! Non-believers are not innocent, they are guilty
of rebellion: “waging war against Allah and his Messenger”. Tafsir Ibn Kathir
gives us the definition of “wage war” as an inclusive set, any member
of which is sufficient to condemn us. That set includes “disbelief”The blood and property of kuffar are not sacred to Muslims and kuffar have no human
rights until they become Muslims. The Jizya is imposed in lieu of destruction and a species of punishment for infidelity. - Believing Muslims wage war
against us. Refer to the ayat linked in #14. Imams can not refute
objective factual reality. - “Only Allah has the right to be worshiped“. Only Allah and his Messenger have the right to
legislate and rule. Non-Islamic governments are tyrannical and must be conquered. The original religion of Islam is Jihad! - Its name is ISLAM!
Islam is intrinsically evil, by design. Its mission is mercenary and its method is
martial. - Repetition does not convert a
lie into truth, even if it is believed and accepted as truth, it
remains a falsehood. - Muslim leaders must
refute Islam. Yeah, right. - Painting over a skunk’s stripes or
amputating a rattle snake’s rattles would be a dangerous act: removing
warning signs. Urging Muslims to misrepresent their war cult as
something else is equally irrational and dangerous.

Boston-Bombings-A-First-Look: Debunking CAIR’S Testimony to
the Homeland Security Cmte.
CAIR submitted thirteen pages of written testimony
to the United States House Committee on Homeland Security. In my
view, the major thrust of the testimony is condemnation of alleged
profiling & entrapment. I see it as equivalent to the Mafia
telling the committee how organized crime should be investigated and
prosecuted. Uncle Vladdi
suggested this, with which I agree:
Or, the Nuremberg trials
being boycotted until they were conducted by only officially
Nazi-vetted “prosecutors” (conciliators) “because otherwise they might
be prejudiced by bigots and lack legitimacy!”

statements exemplary of al-Taqiyya & kitman to refute. [Emphasis
added for clarity.]
Targeting al-Qaeda-Inspired Violent Extremism
to any
one ethnicity, political ideology or religion. In January, the West
Point Military Academy’s Combating Terrorism Center reported that since
2001, violent white supremacists and other far-right groups have
murdered 306 Americans and injured another 1,616.i Since the
events of
September 11, individuals associated with or inspired by al-Qaeda or
similar groups have committed 37 murders in the U.S., out of the
180,000 murders committed during that time.ii Moreover,
since 1979
environmental and animal rights extremists have committed over 2,000
crimes and caused more than $110 million in damage.iii
Terrorism is not limited to the USA. It is performed
all over the world. Most of it is done by Muslims. The two
attacks on the World Trade Center were not done by right wingers or
Christians. The attempted Times Square bombing was not plotted by
a Jew. Numerous foiled plots were planned and almost carried out
by Muslims. The Boston Marathon bombing was carried out by
Muslims, motivated by their religion.
No matter what anyone else does or has done, Islam;
off the shelf, normative, as revealed and exemplified by Moe, motivates
Muslims to maim, mutilate, kill and enslave. Since 623, 270*106 lost their lives to Islamic
imperialism.
Violent Extremism
Terrorism is an intrinsic sacrament of Islam
predating the formation of the Egyptian Muslim Brotherhood and its
offshoot, al-Qaeda. Allah said in the Qur’an that he would
and did
“cast terror into the hearts of those who disbelieve” and described the
consequences of that act. Allah commanded Muslims to strike
terror into the hearts of disbelievers by building
a mighty army and harsh
treatment of defeated victims. Allah promised to reward
Muslims who take
any step to injure or enrage disbelievers.
Moe said that he was made victorious by terror cast into the hearts of
his enemies. Allah said that Moe was an excellent
example to emulate if one desired admission to his celestial bordello.
Terrorism is not extremism; it is normative Islam,
commanded by Allah and exemplified by his Messenger. Moe terrorized his
victims by harsh treatment of defeated people and assassinations. He also dictated &
dispatched explicit extortion letters.
al-Qaeda-Inspired
Terrorist groups do not inspire terrorism, they draw
attention to Allah’s imperatives,
threat & promise, which motivate
believers to do his wet work. They remind believers
of the fard al-kifaya of participation in annual attacks
against infidels.
While al-Qaeda and other groups exploit real and
perceived provocations and grievances to pressure believers
to engage in violence, Allah’s imperatives, threat & promise
and Moe’s exemplary conduct are the real sources of the terrorist
impulse.
the government to responsibly counter domestic acts of terrorism
carried out or inspired by al-Qaeda or similar groups it is important
for law enforcement to develop a uniform and shared understanding of
the ideology that motivates al-Qaeda’s violent extremism as opposed to
the religious beliefs and principles of Islam.
ideology
- Only Allah has the right to be worshiped. 3:2
- Only Allah has the right to legislate & rule, which he
delegated to Moe and his successors. 33:36 - Jihad is ordained for Muslims. 2:216
- War must be waged against pagans until only Allah is worshiped on
a global scale. 8:39 - War must be waged against Jews & Christians until they are
subjugated & extorted. 9:29 - Acts of terrorism are credited to the terrorist as righteous good
deeds. 9:120 - The blood and property of infidels ain’t not sacred to Muslims.
Infidels only acquire human rights when they become Muslims. Bukhari 1.8.387 - The basic penalty for “waging war against Allah and his
Messenger” is execution. 5:33- “waging war against Allah and his Messenger” includes disbelief

The Quran, Islam’s foundational holy text, states: “We made you to be a
community of the middle way, so that (with the example of your lives)
you might bear witness to the truth before all mankind.” (Quran, 2:143)
Extremism prohibited
Moe massacred the men and boys of a Jewish settlement
after they had surrendered following a two week siege. Read more about
it here: http://www.islam-universe.com/tafsir//33.41512.html
. Moe did that; exemplary, moderate Islam, not extremism, which
would be prohibited.
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,
genocide
What does Allah want? Genocide: “great
slaughter”; “killed and wounded many of them”. What did Moe want?
Ransom & plunder: “the good of this world”. Can you get a
clue? Genocide is moderate, normative Islam, not extremism.
There is nothing wrong with the massacres of Hindus, Assyrians &
Armenians, Allah demanded “great slaughter”. Got a clue yet?
radicalization
Tamerlan, 26, and Dzhokhar, 19, Tsarnaev, journey to
violent extremism
had in part begun online through social networking sites linked to
al-Qaeda-inspired videos and content. Dzhokhar Tsarnaev has told
investigators that he and his brother learned to build the improvised
explosive devices (IEDs) used in the Boston attacks from the
English-language online magazine Inspire, circulated by al-Qaeda’s
Yemen branch, and were influenced partly
by the online sermons of Anwar al-Awlaki,
an al-Qaeda linked leader.iv It has been reported that Tamerlan had
posted to his personal YouTube account a video extolling al-Qaeda.”v
The Russian Federal Security Service (FSB) also allege that Tamerlan
was in contact by message board with at least two individuals who were
killed in a battle by Russian security forces in the Russian republic

There are no radicals or extremists; only believers.
There is no radicalization process; there is learning of Allah’s
imperatives, threat & promise and Moe’s excellent
example.
moderate Islam
Snake Excrement!!! No such entity exists; Islam is
what it is: Moe’s authentic interpretation of his recitation as
enshrined in the Qur’an & exemplified in his Sunnah.
moderate Muslims
Whose “faith will not go beyond their
throats (i.e. they will have no faith) and will go out from
(leave) their religion as an arrow goes out of the game. So,
where-ever you find them, kill them, for who-ever kills them shall have

Security
Security is not surveillance, security cameras,

that some G’d’d Muslim will not run you over with his auto, shoot you,
stab you or dismember you with a bomb, then send them all home and
exclude them from entry. No Muslim students, technical workers,
medical
specialists, religious workers or tourists. No Muslims!
Expel them and exclude them.
Raccoons and skunks carry rabies and knock over
trash
cans. Muslims maim and kill. Its what they do when they obey Allah and
emulate his Profit;. Put a bounty on
them if you want to be safe at home.
Exposing Islam Through CAIR’s Lies about the Boston Marathon Bombing
Bare Naked Islam posted and commented on a CAIR OPED, from which I extracted
a crucial phrase and did a search. The text turned up on CAIR’s
Facebook page. I have reproduced it below, highlighting some
important words, phrases & clauses which I will dissect below
the OPED.

Nihad Awad, like all lying Muslims, assumes that we
are stupid, illiterate and gullible. With a smug smirk he plays
semantic games, cherry picks scripture and misrepresents the damnable
doctrines & practices of Islam.
The bothers who bombed the Boston Marathon were
Muslims. The surviving bomber said that they were motivated by
religion. What component of Islam would motivate anyone to maim
and mutilate as many people as possible? After reading this
post, you will be able to answer that question.
[Qur’an & hadith links added. Superscripts are linked to my
comments.]
Jihad and Islam
By Nihad Awad
There is a growing attempt by some commentators to label the recent
bombings in Boston as “jihad” and to blame the deadly blasts on a
non-existent
concept they call “radical Islam.”1
I call “radical Islam” non-existent because radicalism or extremism
is
not permissible in Islam. Islam prohibits extremism2 and an
essential
part of the faith is moderation. A more accurate term
might be
“Al-Qaeda ideology3.”
The Quran, Islam’s foundational holy text, states clearly: “We made you
to be a community of
the middle way, so that (with the example of your
lives) you might bear witness to the truth before all mankind.” (Quran,
2:143)
The Quran also states: “O you who believe! Stand out firmly for
justice, as witnesses to God, even against yourselves, or your parents,
or your kin, and whether it be (against) rich or poor: for God can best
protect both.” (Quran, 4:35)
There is no such thing as radical Islam4,
but there are radical
Muslims5
– just as there are extremists
of every other religion6 or belief.
But there’s a huge difference between the existence of radical
individuals and a religion
that permits radical beliefs or actions.
These radicals
certainly do not represent the teachings of Islam or the
behavior or beliefs of mainstream Muslims7.
In one Islamic tradition, called a “hadith,” the Prophet Muhammad said:
“Religion is very easy and whoever overburdens himself in his religion
will not be able to continue in that way. So you should not be
extremists, but try to be near to perfection and receive the good
tidings that you will be rewarded; and gain strength by worshipping in
the mornings, the nights.” [Bukhari 1.2.38]
In recent years, we have seen the term “jihadist” come to be used as if
it means a person who kills people out of a religious motivation8,
but
this is terribly inaccurate.
“Jihad”
does not mean “holy war.” 9Literally,
jihad means to “struggle,”
strive and exert effort. It is a central and broad Islamic concept that
includes struggle against evil inclinations within oneself, struggle to
improve the quality of life in society, struggle
in the battlefield for
self-defense 10(e.g., – having a standing army
for national
defense11), or
fighting
against tyranny or oppression.
For the sake of accuracy and to avoid spreading false information about
a major world religion, extremist
Muslims who commit crimes should be
called criminals or, in cases where the definition fits, terrorists.
We
should not legitimize
their actions by calling them jihadists, even if
they attempt to call themselves by that label and seek a false
religious connection or justification. These criminals should not be
honored with a religious label.
Islam allows legitimate self defense, but prohibits
the killing of
innocent people12, even in times of war or
conflict. Aggression
is never
permitted.13
“And fight in the cause of God those who
, and do
not
commit aggression. Indeed God does not love those who are
aggressors,”
(The Quran, 2:190).
So yes, there are some Muslims who have extreme views, or mental
illnesses, or political grievances, or a host of other reasons that
lead them to kill people, and this is not only a tragedy and a crime
but an egregious
violation of the principles of Islam.
The difference between Muslim killers and killers from other
backgrounds is often the way they are described by the media and viewed
by the public: with Muslim killers, the
crime is almost always
attributed to their religion.14
Because the word “terrorism”15 is used almost exclusively to
describe
crimes whose perpetrators are Muslims, you might think that a majority
of mass killings and acts of terrorism in the U.S. were committed by
Muslims. But when we look at the facts, that perception does not hold
up.
* According to FBI statistics, of all terrorist attacks on U.S. soil
from 1980 to 2005, six percent were committed by Muslims. (Source:
http://www.fbi.gov/stats-services/publications/terrorism-2002-2005/terror02_05#terror_05sum)
* According to a study from the Combating Terrorism Center at the US
Military Academy, since 2011, politically-motivated attacks by Muslim
Americans have killed 33 people, while terrorist attacks by white
supremacists and other right-wing extremists killed more than 200
people. (Source:
http://www.ctc.usma.edu/posts/challengers-from-the-sidelines-understanding-americas-violent-far-right)
* According to a report by the Triangle Center on Terrorism and
Homeland Security, “66 Americans were killed in mass shootings by
non-Muslims in 2012 alone, twice as many fatalities as from
Muslim-American terrorism in all 11 years since 9/11.” (Source:
http://kurzman.unc.edu/muslim-american-terrorism)
In a well-known hadith, a man asked the Prophet Muhammad, “What is the
best
jihad?” to which Prophet Muhammad replied, “Speaking a word of
truth to an oppressive ruler.”
The constant misuse of terms like “jihad” and “radical Islam” is
offensive to the truth and is counterproductive to our nation’s efforts
to achieve security.
It is time we all speak a word of truth by applying the proper labels
to criminals and their acts of violence, no matter their religious
background.

radical Islam
To be effective, a professional liar will include
some truth in his spew of malignant malarkey. It is true that
there is no such thing as radical Islam. Islam is what it is; its
standard was set 1400 years ago by Moe’s recitation, which is recorded
in the Qur’an and exemplified by Moe’s sunnah
& Sira. Imperialism, terrorism, rape & pillage are
intrinsic sacraments of Islam, not bida introduced by “extremists
or radicals”
I disrespectfully direct doubters, deniers &
dissenters to Craig Winn’s The Prophet of Doom,
which combines the most significant parts of the Qur’an, hadith, Sira
& Tahrik in 1000 pages supplying the context & chronology
lacking in the Qur’an. If you lack the patience for 1000 pages,
read the In
His Own Words Appendix for the highlights.
extremism
Normative Islam is extreme; it encompasses global imperialism, terrorism, genocide, rape and
pillage. Those intrinsic sacraments of Islam are not
prohibited. Transgressing the limits is prohibited.
The limits are set in Sahih Muslim 19.4294,
in which Moe commands his generals to make holy war. What would profane
it? Embezzling spoils, killing children, mutilating bodies and fleeing
from battle are the limits which must not be transgressed; which would
profane Islam’s holy war.
Al-Qaeda ideology
Al-Qaeda is a subset of the Muslim Brotherhood,
which is a subset of Islam; what is their ideology? Islamic
ideology is most clearly stated in the motto of the Brotherhood,
which is copied in the Charter of HAMAS.
is its target, the Prophet is its model, the Koran its constitution:
Jihad is its path and death for the sake of Allah is the loftiest of
its wishes
- Only Allah has the right to be worshiped. 3:2
- Only Allah has the right to legislate & rule, which he
delegated to Moe and his successors. 33:36 - Jihad is ordained for Muslims. 2:216
- War must be waged against pagans until only Allah is worshiped on
a global scale. 8:39 - War must be waged against Jews & Christians until they are
subjugated & extorted. 9:29 - The blood and property of infidels is not sacred to Muslims.
Infidels only acquire human rights when they become Muslims. Bukhari 1.8.387 - The basic penalty for “waging war against Allah and his
Messenger” is execution. 5:33- “waging war against Allah and his Messenger” includes disbelief
http://www.islam-universe.com/tafsir//5.13751.html
- “waging war against Allah and his Messenger” includes disbelief
radical Islam
This entry is redundant: see .Extremism.
radical Muslims
The correct expression is: Believers.
Believers are defined in 8:1-5. The meaning will not be clear until
you look up the context of “spend” and “go out” at http://www.quranbrowser.com/ . The
definition in 9:111 is more explicit: they sold their souls to
Allah for admission to his celestial bordello so they fight in his cause,
killing and being killed. In 49:15, they are described as only those who fight
in Allah’s cause.
extremists of other
religions
Tim McVeigh was a lapsed Catholic who acted out of
political, not religious motives. Christians who shoot
abortionists or bomb abortion mills, like McVeigh, act in contravention
of Christ’s teaching and example. Muslims engaged in terrorism
act in obedience to Allah and emulation of Moe.

mainstream Muslims
Was Moe, the founder of Islam, a mainstream
Muslim? If not, then who is? Moe revealed the Qur’an, which
enshrines the doctrines of Islam; are those doctrines not mainstream?
If Moe’s sunnah does not define mainstream Muslims, what does?
about Abu Sufyan
coming from Syria, he summoned the Muslims and said, ‘This is the
Quraysh caravan containing their property. Go out to attack it, perhaps
God will give it as a prey.’
of Aslam told him that B. Sahm
of Aslam came to the apostle and complained that they had fought and got
nothing and found nothing with the apostle which he could give them. He
said: ~O God, You know their
condition and that they have no strength,
and that I have nothing to give
them, so conquer for them the wealthiest
of the enemy’s forts with the
richest food.’ The following day God conquered
the fort of al-Sa’b b. Mu’adh
which contained the richest food in Khaybar.
Moe was a predator. Predation is part of mainstream
Islam. In Tabari, Vol. VIII, page 122, we find the sad story of
the death of Kinanah, chieftan of Khaibar Oasis.
Kinanah refused to surrender
it; so the Messenger of God
gave orders concerning him to al-Zubayr
b. al-‘Awwam, saying, “Torture
him until you root out what he has.”
Al-Zubayr kept twirling his
fires tick in his breast 510 until
Kinanah almost expired; then the Messenger of God gave him to
Muhammad b. Maslamah, who beheaded him to avenge his brother
Mahmud b. Maslamah.
religious motivation
If your Lord issued divine imperatives commanding
you to wage war against pagans and ‘people of the book‘ and if he threatened you with eternal damnation if you refused to wage war and promised you admission to his celestial bordello
if you join the jihad, that would be religious motivation to engage in
offensive conquest. What if your Lord promised you extra credit
towards an upgrade in your seat in his celestial bordello for any step you take to injure or enrage disbelievers;
would that be religious motivation?
Khalid Sheikh Mohammad and his co-conspirators filed
with the military tribunal a signed response to the
“nine accusations” against them. In their document, they spill the
beans.
Many thanks to God, for his kind gesture, and choosing us to
perform the act of
Jihad for his cause and to defend Islam and Muslims.
Therefore, killing you and
fighting you, destroying you and terrorizing you,
responding back to your
attacks, are all considered to be great legitimate duty in our religion.
These
actions are our offerings to
God. In addition, it is the imposed reality on Muslims in
Palestine, Lebanon,
Afghanistan, Iraq, in the land of the two holy sites [Mecca and Medina,
Saudi Arabia], and in the rest ofthe
world, where Muslims are suffering from your brutality, terrorism,
killing ofthe innocent, and
occupying their lands and their holy sites. Nevertheless, it would have been the greatest
religious duty
to fight you over your
infidelity. However, today, we fight you over defending Muslims,
their land, their
holy sites,and their religion as a whole.
That is neither radicalism nor extremism; that is normative Islam, as
Moe preached and practiced it. That is motivated by Allah’s
imperatives, threat and promise. Those are religious motivations.
Jihad
Jihad means extreme exertion and striving. It
is not defined in the Qur’an, but it is defined in a footnote by Hilali
& Khan in their translation of 2:190.
fighting) in Allâh’s Cause (with full force of numbers and weaponry) is
given the utmost importance in Islâm and is one of its pillar (on which
it stands). By Jihâd Islâm
is established, Allâh’s Word is made superior, (His Word being Lâ
ilaha illallâh which
means none has the right to be worshipped but Allâh), and His Religion
(Islâm) is propagated. By abandoning Jihâd (may
Allâh protect us from that) Islâm is destroyed and the Muslims fall
into an inferior position; their honour is lost, their lands are
stolen, their rule and authority vanish. Jihâd is
an obligatory duty in Islâm on every Muslim, and he who tries to escape
from this duty, or does not in his innermost heart wish to fulfil this
duty, dies with one of the qualities of a hypocrite.
Narrated
‘Abdullâh bin Mas‘ûd رضي الله عنه: I asked Allâh’s Messenger صلى الله
عليه وسلم “O Allâh’s Messenger! What is the best deed?” He replied, “To
offer the Salât (prayers)
at their early fixed stated times.” I asked, “What is next in
goodness?” He replied, “To be good and dutiful to your parents.” I
further asked, “What is next in goodness?” He replied, “To participate
in Jihâd in Allâh’s Cause.” I did not ask Allâh’s Messenger صلى الله
عليه وسلم anymore and if I had asked him more, he would have told me
more. (Sahih
Al-Bukhâri,
Vol.4, Hadîth No.41).
holy fighting in Allah’s cause
What makes fighting holy? Intentions:
intending to please Allah. What profanes it? Embezzling spoils, killing
children, mutilating corpses and fleeing from battle.
What is Allah’s cause? To make Islam dominate the world.
legal definition
The Reliance of the Traveller, the Shafi’i school’s
handbook of Shari’ah, certified as accurate and authentic by the
Sheikhs of Al-Zzhar University, defines Jihad in Book O9.0.
(O: Jihad means to
war against non-Muslims, and is etymologically derived from the
word mujahada signifying warfare to establish the religion. And it is
the lesser jihad. As for the greater jihad, it is spiritual warfare
against the lower self (nafs), which is why the Prophet (Allah bless
him and give him peace) said as he was returning from jihad.
“We have returned from the lesser jihad to the
greater jihad.”
The scriptural basis for jihad, prior to
scholarly consensus (def: b7) is such Koranic verses as:
-1- “Fighting is prescribed for you” (Koran 2:216);
-2- “Slay them wherever you find them” (Koran
4:89);
-3- “Fight the idolators utterly” (Koran 9:36);
and such hadiths as the one related by Bukhari
and Muslim
that the Prophet (Allah bless him and give him peace) said:
“I have been commanded to fight people until
they testify that there is no god but Allah and that Muhammad is the
Messenger of Allah, and perform the prayer, and pay zakat. If they say
it, they have saved their blood and possessions from me, except for the
rights of Islam over them. And their final reckoning is with Allah”;
and the hadith reported by Muslim,
“To go forth in the morning or evening to
fight in the path of Allah is better than the whole world and
everything in it.”Details concerning jihad are found in the accounts
of the military expeditions of the Prophet (Allah bless him and give
him peace), including his own martial forays and those on which he
dispatched others. The former consist of the ones he personally
attended, some twenty-seven (others say twenty-nine) of them. He fought
in eight of them, and killed only one person with his noble hand, Ubayy
ibn Khalaf, at the battle of Uhud. On the latter expeditions he sent
others to fight, himself remaining at Medina, and these were
forty-seven in number.)
self-defense
“Jihad is ordained for you” in 2:216 Allah says
Jihad, not defense. When Moe was weak, with no army, Allah
prescribed patience and forbearance. When he moved to Medina and built
a small force, Allah prescribed defensive and retaliatory fighting in 22:39.
When his army grew strong enough to raid camel caravans and small
settlements, Allah revealed the primary Jihad imperatives in Surahs
Al-anfal & At-Taubah.
The Reliance of the Traveller, in Book O9.1,
sets forth two types of jihad: offensive and defensive. The former is
required in every year, and if not performed when possible, all who
know of the obligation are in sin. The obligation is communal,
binding on all eligible male Muslims until a su8fficient number has
reported to the front.
O9.1: The Obligatory Character of Jihad
Jihad
is a communal obligation (def: c3.2). When enough people perform
it to successfully accomplish it, it is no longer obligatory upon
others (O: the evidence for which is the Prophet’s saying
(Allah bless him and give him peace),
“He who provides the equipment for a soldier in
jihad has himself performed jihad,”
and Allah Most High having said:
“Those of the believers who are unhurt but sit
behind are not equal to those who fight in Allah’s path with their
property and lives. Allah has preferred those who fight with their
property and lives a whole degree above those who sit behind. And to
each, Allah has promised great good” (Koran 4:95).
If none
of those concerned perform jihad, and it does not happen at all, then
everyone who is aware that it is obligatory is guilty of sin, if there
was a possibility of having performed it. In the time of the
Prophet (Allah bless him and give him peace) jihad was a communal
obligation after his emigration (hijra) to Medina. As for subsequent
times, there are two possible states in respect to non-Muslims.
The
first is when they are in their own countries, in which case jihad
(def: o9.8) is a communal obligation, and this is what our author is
speaking of when he says, “Jihad is a communal obligation,” meaning upon the Muslims each year.
The second state is when non-Muslims invade a
Muslim country or near to one, in which case jihad is personally
obligatory (def: c3.2) upon the inhabitants of that country, who must
repel the non-Muslims with whatever they can).
Reliance O25.9
outlines the duties of subordinate rulers; one of them holds a clue for
you: to wage war against neighboring infidels and distribute the
spoils. .
The Hanifi school adds some crucial clarity.
The destruction of the sword is incurred by infidels, although they be
not the
first aggressors, as appears from various passages in the sacred
writings which are generally received this effect.
standing army
The purpose of Islam’s army is offensive, not
defensive: to strike terror into the hearts of intended victims.
Note the expressions used in multiple translations of 8:60.
Islam prohibits
killing innocent
SnakeShit!!! 5:22
does no such thing! Words have meanings, but Muslims have their
own. They play a vicious semantic game which must be exposed.
5:32. Because of that We ordained for the Children of Israel that if
anyone killed a person not in retaliation of murder, or (and) to spread
mischief in the land – it would be as if he killed all mankind, and if
anyone saved a life, it would be as if he saved the life of all
mankind. And indeed, there came to them Our Messengers with clear
proofs, evidences, and signs, even then after that many of them
continued to exceed the limits (e.g. by doing oppression unjustly
and exceeding beyond the limits set by Allâh by committing the major
sins) in the land!.
Note the highlighted escape clause. The prohibition is in 4:92.
is not for a believer to kill a believer
except (that it be) by mistake, and whosoever kills a believer by
mistake, (it is ordained that) he must set free a believing slave and a
compensation (blood money, i.e Diya) be given to the deceased’s family,
unless they remit it. If the deceased belonged to a people at war with
you and he was a believer; the freeing of a believing slave (is
prescribed), and if he belonged to a people with whom you have a treaty
of mutual alliance, compensation (blood money – Diya) must be paid to
his family, and a believing slave must be freed. And whoso finds this
(the penance of freeing a slave) beyond his means, he must fast for two
consecutive months in order to seek repentance from Allâh. And Allâh is
Ever AllKnowing, AllWise.
4:93. And whoever kills a believer
intentionally, his recompense is Hell to abide therein, and the
Wrath and the Curse of Allâh are upon him, and a great punishment is
prepared for him.
Who is innocent? Only Muslims!!! If you ain’t
Muslim, you are a rebel against Allah and his Messenger, due to be
killed for waging war against them.
The truth is revealed in 5:33 and clarified by Tafsir Ibn Kathir.
war against Allâh 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. Mischief
in the land refers to various types of evil. http://www.islam-universe.com/tafsir//5.13751.html
aggression is never
permitted
It is difficult to find a more egregious lie. You
have already seen ample proof of the obvious objective factual reality
if you have read this far. Whether you read Reliance of the Traveller, Risala or Hedaya, the aggressive and offensive nature of
Jihad is clear in Shari’ah.
Moe dictated and dispatched extortion letters by
private courier to his intended victims. Two of those letters are
extremely clear, leaving nothing to the imagination; I will link to
them. You can find the others on those sites.

- http://www.soebratie.nl/religie/hadith/IbnSad.html#01.2.73.3
The quote to 2:190 is not accurate; the operative expression is
transgress the limits, not commit aggression.

religion & crime
Islam is a crime against humanity: a war
crime. Its mission is mercenary and its method is martial.
terrorism
What did the terrorists say when they slit the
throats of the flight crews? What did Nidal Malik Hassan shout
when he shot the soldiers at Fort Hood? What did they say when
they cut off Nick Berg’s head? What did they shout when they blew
up children at Beslan?
Mohammad Atta, in his final message to the Magnificent 19, directed them
to shout the Takbir
while slaughtering because
it terrifies disbelievers.
like champions who do not want to go back to this
world. Shout, ‘Allahu Akbar,’ because this strikes fear in the hearts
of the non-believers.”
What did Allah say he would and did cast? How
did Moe say he was made victorious?
Rep.Joe Walsh:PC Costs lives, While Practicing PC
These statements by Congressman Joe Walsh and his detractors must be
subjected to logical analysis in the light of the facts. I am

muster. You will find superscripts in the transcriptions linked

my comments which appear below the horizontal line. Click the

My commentary contains links to Islam’s canon of

exhort readers to make good use of those links to documents which
contain the evidence which proves my points.
Thanks and a tip of the hat to Bare naked Islam for bringing this to my
attention Congressman Joe Walsh favored his constituents with an
honest statement about the consequences of political correctness and an
ill-informed statement about Islam. CAIR and its dhimmis are
exploiting the Congressman’s remarks for political gain. I will
use them as an opportunity to educate you and hopefully Rep.
Walsh.
Walsh statement:
CAIR press conference
The audio from the town hall meeting is not good enough to allow full
transcription. Rep. Walsh is talking about PC in relation to the
Fort Hood Massacre, saying that the government is too afraid of
offending Islam to avert that tragedy.
In reality, Maj. Hasan’s superior officers knew that he is a Muslim and
that he had made (and presented to fellow officers) a Powerpoint presentation in which he quoted
verses from the Qur’an and sayings from authentic hadith collections
which clearly establish the Islamic mandate of world conquest in an
uncritical manner. In the absence of PC, Hasan would have been
cashiered immediately. Because of PC, he remained in the service
and was able to perpetrate his massacre.
been a bit too worried about being
offensive1.
This is a real threat, its not just over there, and its here and we’ve
gotta keep a look out for it. (Racist?2) Oh gosh,
not at all. Most
Muslims, just like most Christians; most everybody are wonderfully
patriotic, loving, peaceful people3
but there is a radical
strain of Islam that is trying to hijack that religion4
and we’ve seen from 9/11 on we’ve seen attacks around the world
and we’ve seen attacks here, Fort Hood being one example and
we’ve seen a number of attacks that have been thwarted. So its not a condemnation
at all of the Muslim religion5, its a condemnation of radical
Islam; a radical strain of Islam6 which has tried to hijack that
religion. “
“Because our government is too politically correct, 12 Americans
died.” Exactly what is not objectively true about that
statement? They retained a traitor in the officer corps
because they were reluctant to offend Muslims.
Next comes CAIR and its coterie of self-hating dhimmis to condemn Rep.
Walsh.
“In his remarks, Congressman Joe Walsh made it abundantly clear7 where
he stands and now the time has come for all people of good will of
every faith tradition to send these ideas8 down and to say together that
there is no place for this kind of hatred9 in public discourse. ”
Chicago:
“There is a problem that has to be addressed: I don’t know if they10 are
trying to sound like the racist11 bigoted12 backward party or if its just
happened, but the leadership needs to step up and live up to the legacy13
of the great GOP of the past and know that America can not move
forward with hate and divisiveness14 but with hope and
inspiration.
“
Religious Studies:
“Its not an accident that you see such a diverse group of people
standing here. We are all alarmed at what the GOP is doing
to the social fabric of this country.” 15
Thanks and a tip of the hat to Weasel Zippers for posting this video of Rep.
Walsh responding to his critics.
that radical Islam poses to
America. I ‘ve said what I said hundreds of times: while the
overwhelming majority of Muslim Americans are as peace loving as anyone
else, there are radical Islamists right here in the United States
trying to kill Americans and destroy this country.
The Committee on Homeland Security of which I am a member, has held
numerous hearings on this issue. We have heard from countless
experts,including Obama Administration officials, about this
growing home grown threat from radical Islam. However, some want
to pretend16 that these threats do not exist. CAIR,
the Council on
American Islamic Relations, wants me to apologize for what I said. its
important to know that the Department of Homeland Security and the FBI
have severed all ties to CAIR because of their ties to terrorism.
Let me be clear: bowing down to political correctness has and
will get Americans killed. We must always speak the truth to this
threat no matter how politically incorrect. Yet Tammy Duckworth
agrees with CAIR when she calls me irresponsible. Tammy, What
exactly did I say that you disagree with? Yes or no: do you agree
with the Obama Administration that there is a home grown threat that
exists from a radical strain of Islam?
Miss Duckworth, if you truly think my remarks are irresponsible, I
invite you to join me in a debate on this very issue.
- Blessed right, and your repeated disclaimer
that most Muslims are peace lovers is a prime example. Have you
performed a scientific survey of American Muslims on the issues of
peace and attacks against Americans? Have you discounted the
survey results for the practice of al-Taqoyya & kitman given divine
sanction by Surah Al-Imran 3:28? For a full explanation of that verse, refer
to its topic in Tafsir Ibn kathir. - What race is Islam? Islam has conquered,
intimidated or seduced members of several races, so that there are
Arab, Caucasian, Negro and Asian Muslims. Islam is a way of life,
not a race. Playing the race card is a diversion, not a defense;
a meritricious attempt to demonize and discredit critics of Islam. - Do ‘peace loving’ {hypocrites} Muslims constitute a different race?
Exactly how is their supposed status as lovers of peace relevant to
false accusations of racism? - Rep. Walsh repeated in that sentence, two
of the most damnable lies about Islam. There are no radical
Muslims; there are believers and hypocrites whose faith goes no deeper than their
throats.. Believers are those who fight in Allah’s cause with their wealth and their lives,
killing others and being killed. Only those who join the jihad are believes.Islam has not been hijacked and is not being hijacked; it was revealed
under two dispensations: Mekkan and Medinan. In Mekkah, Moe was
out numbered and overpowered, living at sufferance of those whose
beliefs he insulted and whose livelihood he threatened. In Medina, Moe
built an army and began raiding camel caravans to raise funds to
enlarge it until he was able to conquer Mekkah. In Mekkah, Moe
preached tolerance and forbearance. In Medina, he preached
defense and retaliation. As his army grew large enough, he
preached offensive warfare. Let doubters, dissenters & deniers turn
to The Sealed Nectar to obtain a clue.Terrorism is an intrinsic sacrament of Islam. I
direct doubters, dissenters & deniers to the following Qur’an
verses & ahadith; note the explicit language used by several
translators including “strike terror” and “to terrify thereby”: 3:151, 8:12,39,57,60,65,67,
9:5,29,111,120,123,
33:26,27,
47:4,49:15,
59:2,13,
Sahih Bukhari 1.7.331 & 4.52.220. - Two classes of people will not
condemn Islam: ignoramuses and traitors. Islam is not a religion;
it is a deen: way of life: intraspecies predation. Islam
preys upon the rest of the human race. The mission of Islam
is not spiritual, it is mercenary: Moe’s enrichmentthrough
the propagation and perpetuation of war. Moe got his income by
his spear. He said that he was sent with a sword to see that only
Allah is worshiped. He declared jihad to be the peak of Islam. Two
difficult to find ahadith are quoted in one tafsir by Ibn kathir; decent people of good
will will read them and curse Islam. For further details, refer
to “Islam’s Mercenary Mission“. - Islam is Islam; there is no radical
Islam. Open the Qur’an read Surah Al-Anfal & Surah At-Taubah
using the links provided above. Allah’s imperatives to genocidal
conquest and terrorism are contained in those surahs; they are an
intrinsic part of Islam. Islam is not “Cafeteria Catholicism” it
is a bundled package deal: all or nothing. I refer doubters, dissenters
& deniers to Surah Al-Baqarah 2:85
to see it right from the demon’s book.Islamic law is based on what Allah & Moe
said and did. The Qur’an & hadith define and exemplify Islam;
Shari’ah codifies it. Are mandatory annual military attacks against passive
neighbors radical? They are part of Islam’s legal standard. Muslims
can attack infidels without provocation. The
caliph makes war upon Jews, Christians and Zoroastrians and
fights all other peoples until they become Muslims. That is
standard, off the shelf Islam, neither extreme nor radical. - Malarkey! Rep. Walsh muddied the subject
with his idiotic denial of the offensively aggressive nature of Islam.
He expressed opposition to “radical Islam”: to jihad & terrorism.
Exactly what in Hell is wrong with opposition to terrorist
conquest? - The idea expressed by Rep Walsh are
clear; exactly why in Hell should these ideas be condemned?
Which of them is not objectively true? :- “Radical Islam” seeks to injure and kill Americans.
- Terror attacks have been perpetrated all over the world and in
America. - Political correctness regarding Islamic terrorism cost thirteen
lives at Fort Hood.
- What hatred did Rep. Walsh express in his
statement to the town hall meeting? What hatred did he express in
the video clip? - Rep. Walsh spoke on his own accord, there is
no indication that he represented the party or anyone other than
himself in his remarks. The GOP, not CAIR appoints its spokesmen. - What race is Islam? Rehab is an Arab,
Hooper is White and Wahhaj is Black. What race is Islam! If Islam
is a race, it is not qualified for First Amendment protection.
Exactly what mention did Rep. Walsh make of race? - Bigotry is prejudiced, closed minded
rejection of facts. Exactly what bigotry did Rep. Walsh engage
in? - President Lincoln freed the slaves in the
1860s; the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia officially abolished slavery one
hundred years later. Moe engaged in razzia for the express purpose of
enslaving captives to sell for profit. The Africans sold to
colonists were enslaved by Muslims, not by the GOP. Your
hypocrisy shines and stinks like a dead carp under the noonday
sun. - The Democrat Party is the party
of hate & divisiveness: exploiting race and class hatred in its
Presidential campaign. Rep. Walsh engaged in neither hate nor
divisiveness. He issued a warning about the presence in America
of an enemy fifth column and the danger of ignoring it. That is neither
hateful nor divisive. Islam divides the world into Dar ul-Islam
and Dar ul-Harb. Dar ul-Islam is where Allah’s writ runs. Dar ul-Harb
is the house of war; every place not dominated by
Islam. Islam preaches “love and hate for the sake of
Allah”, the concept is called Wala wal Bara. Islam and the Democrats are
the parties of hate and division! - Rep. Walsh is alarmed at deliberate ignorance of the damnable
doctrines & practices of Islam which permitted a “soldier of
Allah to rise to and remain in the rank of Major in the U.S. Army
and kill thirteen soldiers. You are alarmed by the concept of
freedom of expression which permits an aware and alarmed citizenry to
warn of impending danger including that promoted and perpetuated by
Allah’s imperative,
threat and promise. - Congressman, why do you persist in the
pretense of passive Islam? Shrub lied when he declared Islam to
be “a great religion of peace”. Islam was spread by the
sword. The original religion of Islam is jihad. Jihad is war against non-Muslims. Summon
your courage, put on the whole armor of God and tell the truth: “Its Islam, stupid!”.
A Wad of Crap: CAIR’s Pormotion of Shari’ah
On
March 15. 2012, Bare Naked Islam published a fund raising solicitation
from CAIR. Most of the text from that post is reproduced below,
including the headline (linked to the original post) and one bold red
parenthetical comment from BNI.
The letter solicits money to finance CAIR’s campaign
to defeat proposed legislation to proscribe foreign legal systems in
our courts. I have highlighted several phrases which I intend to
address below.
OH,
GOODIE! A letter from my pal, Nihad, head litigation jihadist at CAIR
Our
strategy is working
As-salaamu
alaykum (peace be to you),
Alhamdulillah
(all thanks to God), we are finally seeing the tide turning.In the past
week, we’ve reached a turning point in our effort to block the
introduction and passage of anti-sharia laws
nationwide. Since last Tuesday, five states – Minnesota, Florida,
New Jersey, Georgia and Mississippi – have either withdrawn the
bills or allowed them to expire.
But
the fight isn’t over – the governor of South Dakota signed
an anti-sharia bill into law on Monday.
Almost
40 anti- sharia bills have been introduced in 30 states. It is
critical that we defeat these bills and end this well-financed campaign
to demonize Islam
and marginalize
American Muslims.
The
people and groups behind this unconstitutional campaign have the donors and resources we
currently lack. They are using their resources to exploit and
promote ignorance,
fear and religious hatred.
Laws don’t just go away. If these bills are passed into law, they will
affect your children, your grandchildren and their grandchildren.
I
ask that you provide us with the resources needed to prevent these unconstitutional
bills from becoming the law of the land.
CAIR
can’t do it alone. We need your help.
CAIR
is taking the lead on this issue and our strategy is working
(Alhamdulillah). But we need your support. This year alone, we
expect to spend $350,000 for the resources – legal and otherwise –
needed to fight the campaign
to enact anti-sharia laws.
Please
do whatever you can to help us preserve religious freedom for you, your
children and all those who may face unequal treatment.
Please
– RIGHT NOW – send a one-time donation of $50, $100, $500,
$1,000, $2,500, $5,000 or more to support this critical work. If you
prefer, commit yourself to $10 or more per month.
May
God bless you.
Thank
you again,
Nihad
Awad
CAIR
National Executive Director
Donations
qualify as zakat but are not tax-deductible at this time. (Because
the IRS removed CAIR’s tax-exempt status due to its terrorist
affiliations)
Please
send this appeal to your friends and family, and post on Facebook,
Twitter, and other networks.
To
volunteer to help push back against anti-Muslim hate in your state, contact
CAIR.
effort to block introduction
Democratic systems of government involve legislation
introduced, debated and voted on by members of an elected
legislature. If bills are not introduced, they can not be debated
and voted up or down. By uttering & publishing the phrase
which serves as the header for this paragraph, CAIR admits that
it stands opposed to democratic self government, preferring theocratic
authoritarianism.
Effort to prevent legislation from being introduced
implies a campaign of intimidation & threat against legislators.
What could be more anti-democratic? Efforts to defeat legislation
are legitimate; efforts to prevent it from being introduced are
not.
anti-sharia laws
The statutes proposed in Florida and Michigan do not
mention Shari’ah. They proscribe foreign legal systems to the
extent that those abridge the Constitutional rights of litigants.
By asserting that such laws are anti-Shari’ah, CAIR admits the fact
that Shari’ah conflicts with the rights, privileges & immunities
afforded to citizens as secured by the Constitution. If Shari’ah did
not abrogate Constitutional rights, there would be no issue to dispute.
campaign
While several organizations and individuals are
speaking out about the threat posed by Shari’ah, and promoting state
and federal legislation to exclude it from our courts, I do not see any
evidence of a unified or well financed campaign.
well-financed
How much money is involved, and what is its
source? How is it being spent? Are there numerous
billboards, radio and television advertising or full page newspaper
& magazine advertisements? Does the campaign involve
paid professional lobbyists?
demonize Islam
Islam can only be demonic if its deity is a demon,
in which case it is demonic and its critics are
merely exposing that fact to public scrutiny. Islam’s deity is
depicted by its founder, in Malik’s Muwatta 46.1.2 as creating people “for the
fire”.
Fire and they will act with the behaviour of the people of the
Fire.”
In the Noble
Qur’an, Surah Al-Anfal 67, Allah demands “great slaughter” as Moe’s
price of admission to his celestial bordello.
have prisoners of war (and free them with ransom) until he had made a
great slaughter (among his enemies) in the land.
Allah arbitrarily created a group of people predestined for eternal
damnation and demands genocide as the price of admission to his
celestial bordello. If that is not demonic, what would be?
marginalize American Muslims
Are Catholics marginalized by excluding their cannon
law from our courts? Are Jews marginalized by excluding
theirs? It seems that Muslims need to choose between America and
Islam because the two are incompatible.
donors and resources
The implication is that the anti-Shari’ah campaign
is well financed by wealthy interests with unlimited funds. Where is
the evidence of that? CAIR asserts that they do not have wealthy
donors and resources; did the Saudi Princes who provided their original
funding withdrawn their support, leaving CAIR to fend for itself?
The sentence from which the previous four headings
were taken implies that there is something wrong with having donors
& resources; in a letter soliciting funds. The hypocrisy is
palpable.
ignorance
Exactly how do those “well financed” campaigners
exploit and promote ignorance? How does publishing a book about
Shari’ah (Shariah The Threat to America) exploit and promote
ignorance? How does
publishing a well documented report about fifty trial & appellate
cases arising in the last three decades exploit and promote
ignorance?
Do blog posts quoting and linking to codifications of Shari’ah
also exploit and promote ignorance?
fear
The founders of this nation observed and experienced
tyranny and resolved that their posterity should be free from it
if possible. In modern times we observe amputations, decapitations and
hangings in Afghanistan, Saudi Arabia and Iran. We do not want
that here. We experienced horrific terrorist attacks and observe
others almost daily.
CAIR and other liars would have us believe that fear
of Islam is vain. But Moe deliberately cultivated a reputation for
barbarian rapine. I direct doubters & dissenters to Noble Qur’an, Surah Al-Hashr 13. Click the link
and read the context, then turn to Surah Al-Anfal 57 if any doubt remains.
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).
Moe attributed his military success to terror
inflicted on his victims.
victorious by awe, (by His frightening my enemies) for a
distance of one month’s journey. …
Sahih Bukhari 4.52.220 …I have been made victorious with terror…
Brig. S.K. Malik wrote a strategic training manual for the army of
Pakistan. It was not meant for our eyes. This quote comes from page 59 of The Qur’anic Concept of War.
into the hearts of the enemies is not only
a means, it is the
end in itself. Once
a condition of terror into
the opponent’s heart is
obtained, hardly anything is left to be
achieved. It is the
point where the means and the end meet
and merge. Terror is not a means of imposing decision upon
the enemy; it is me decision we wish to impose upon him.
We
have nothing to fear but fear itself; yeah, right.
religious hatred
For prime examples of religious hatred, see the
Qur’an. Muslims recite Surah Al-Fatihah at least twice in each of the
five compulsory prayers. When they recite it, they are reminding
Allah why he wants to burn us.
1:7. The Way of those on whom You have bestowed Your Grace, not (the
way) of those who
earned Your Anger (such as the Jews), nor of those who went astray
(such as the Christians).
Allah, Moe and the Muslims curse us and call us the
worst of living creatures.
and die while they are disbelievers, it is they on whom is the Curse of
Allâh and of the angels and of mankind, combined.
9:30. And the Jews say:
‘Uzair (Ezra) is the son of Allâh, and the Christians
say: Messiah is the son of Allâh. That is a saying from their mouths.
They imitate the saying of the disbelievers of old. Allâh’s Curse be on them,
how they are deluded away from the truth!
8:22. Verily! The worst of (moving)
living creatures with Allâh are the deaf and the dumb, those who
understand not (i.e. the disbelievers).
8:55. Verily, The worst of moving
(living) creatures before Allâh are those who disbelieve
, – so they shall not believe
98:6. Verily, those who disbelieve
(in the religion of Islâm, the Qur’ân and Prophet Muhammad ()) from
among the people of the Scripture (Jews and Christians) and
Al-Mushrikûn will abide in the Fire of Hell. They are the worst of
creatures.
unconstitutional
cruel and unusual punishments
How does Shari’ah square with the 8th Amendment? Reliance of the
Traveller has a clue for you. If you quit Islam, they kill you.
How does that square with the first Amdt?
When a person who has reached puberty and is
sane voluntarily apostatizes
from Islam, he
deserves to be killed.
O8.2
In such a case, it is obligatory for the caliph
(A: or his representive) to ask him to repent and return to Islam. If
he does, it is accepted from him, but if he refuses, he is immediately killed.
014.1 A person’s right hand is amputated.
whether he is a Muslim, non-Muslim subject of the
Islamic state, or someone who has left Islam,
when he:
(a) has reached puberty;
(b) is sane;
(c) is acting voluntarily;
(d) and steals at least a quarter of a dinar (n:
1.058 grams of gold) or goods worth that much (A:
at the market prices current) at the time of the
theft;
(e) from a place meeting the security
requirements normal (A: in that locality and time)
for safeguarding similar articles (def: 014.3);
(f) provided there is no possible confusion
(dis: 014.2(3» as to whether he took it by way of
theft or for some other reason.
If a person steals a second time, his left foot is
amputated; if a third time, then his left hand; and
if he steals again, then his right foot. If he steals a
fifth time, he is disciplined (def: 017). If he does
not have a right hand (N: at the first offense), then
his left foot is amputated. If he has a right hand but
loses it after the theft (0: by an act of God) but
before he has been punished for it, then nothing is
amputated. After amputation, the limb is
eauterized with hot oil (A: which in previous times
was the means to stop the bleeding and save the
criminal’s life).
religious test
How does Shari’ah square with Article
VI?
Representatives before mentioned, and the Members of the several State
Legislatures, and all executive and judicial Officers, both of the
United States and of the several States, shall be bound by Oath or
Affirmation, to support this Constitution; but no religious Test shall
ever be required as a Qualification to any Office or public Trust under
the United States.
Judges and governors must be Muslim!

a Muslim, evidently feeling that
uprightness ( (c) above) was sufficient to imply it.)
022.4 If the judge needs a court secretary, he
must be Muslim,
upright (def: 024.4), sane, and
learned (0: meaning familiar with writing up
plaintiffs’ cases, recording what is done in each
case and the judge’s decisions, and must be able to
distinguish between writing it correctly and incorrectly.
The above four conditions are obligatory,
there only remaining to be mentioned that the secretary
must be male and free).
025.3 (Nawawi:) Among the qualifications of
the caliph are that he be:
(a) Muslim (H:
so that he may see to the best
interests of Islam and the Muslims (K: it
being
invalid
to appoint a non-Muslim (kafir) to authority.
even
to rule non-Muslims.)

indemnity
the fraction named by the indemnity appropriate
to the death or injury’s type of intentionality and
other relevant circumstances that determine the
amount of a male Muslim’s indemnity (def:
04.2-6 and 04.13).)
The indemnity for
the death or injury of a
woman is one-half
the indemnity paid for a man.
The indemnity paid
for a Jew or Christian is
one-third of the
indemnity paid for a Muslim. The
indemnity paid for
a Zoroastrian is one-fifteenth
of that of a Muslim.
testimony
witness who:
(a) is free;
(b) is fully legally responsible (mukallaf, def:
c8.1) (0: as testimony is not accepted from a child
or insane person, even when the child’s testimony
regards injuries among ehildren that oeeurred at
play);
(e) is able to speak;
(d) is mentally awake;
(e) is religious
(0: meaning upright (024.4)
(A: and Muslim),
for Allah Most High says,
“Let those of
rectitude among you testify”
(Koran 65:2),
and unbelief is the
vilest form of corruption, as
goes without
saying);
024.7 The testimony of the following is legally
acceptable when it
concerns cases involving property,
or transactions
dealing with property, such
as sales:
(1) two men;
(2) two women and
a man;
(3) or a male witness together with the oath
of the plaintiff.
024.8 If testimony
does not concern propcrty,
such as a marriage
or prescribed legal penalties,
then only two male
witnesses may testify (A:
though the Hanafi school holds that two women
and a man may testify for marriage).
024.9 If testimony
concerns fornication or
sodomy, then it
requires four male witnesses (0:
who testify, in the
case of fornication, that they
have seen the
offender insert the head of his penis
into ber vagina).
Exactly what is unconstitutional about excluding
that unconstitutional crap from our courts???
Pamela Geller Reams Them a New Orifice
Pamela Geller is fast, frustrated & furious in this 40 minute video
she reams indolent society a badly needed new orifice. She has
much more than she can say in such a short time, but she gives us a
very good outline, drawing her points together to form a circle which
encompasses the globe full of issues.
Its war, and you are an army of one. Pamela is your
General. She gives you your orders: learn and teach others.
If you do nothing more, at least watch this video and share it with
everyone who will listen. Thanks and a tip of the hat to Front

Reading the Qur’an is not easy because it is
archaic, redundant and jumbled, lacking context & chronology.
The Noble Qur’an, translated by Hilali & Khan, is
reputed to be 95% accurate and contains parenthetical expressions from
tafsirs and the translator’s footnotes. Several Surahs are
essential to understanding the malignantly militant nature of Islam: 2,
3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 33, 47, 48, 49 & 61. You can select them
from a pick list at the top of the page.
Hadith are sayings of Muhammad, passed down from
mouth to ear by his companions. They have been collected by
several scholars, the most widely accepted collection being that of Bukhari. Like the Qur’an, hadith collections
suffer from redundancy. Begin with Books 52, 53 & 59, then
read the others if you have sufficient patience.
Tafsir are scholarly explanations of the Qur’an.
They use parallel verses and relevant ahadith to clarify the verses. Tafsir Ibn Kathir
is fairly complete and easily accessible. You can select the Surahs
listed above and read them instead of the Qur’an & hadith to save
time and effort.
Islamic biography and history are also important,
but less easily accessible than the Qur’an, hadith and tafsir.
Craig Winn compiled selections of the canon into a 1000
page book with the quotes compiled into handy appendices “The Prophet of
Doom“.
For those lacking the time, patience and ambition to
tackle the large tomes, there is a short book which encapsulates
the most essential information: Suhas Majumdar’s “Jihad: The Islamic Doctrine of Permanent War“.
Pamela Geller raises the issue of Shari’ah: Islamic
law based on the Qur’an & hadith. Much of it is arcane,
dealing with matters of prayer & ritual purity. The really
important parts deal with “justice”, marriage & divorce. It
will be easier for you go go to Amazon and buy a hard copy of Reliance
of the Traveller. If you can tolerate a low resolution scan and
large, pdf, this link will get you into Chapter 9 of Book O;
“Justice”.You can scroll up to Books N & M.
If you delve deeply into Reliance, you will discover
that divorce is affected by the husband’s thrice repeating “I divorce
you”. You will discover that a father can force his virgin,
pre-pubescent daughter to marry the man of his choice. You will
learn that a Christian woman married to a Muslim can not obtain child
custody in divorce.
CAIR vs. Santorum and Gingrich: More Islamic Lies
CAIR vs. Santorum and Gingrich: More Islamic Lies
CAIR published a press release objecting to remarks by Rick Santorum in which he asserted that
Islam is not the source of the concept of equality. I have
selected some representative quotes and will disprove CAIR’s lies with
citations to the Qur’an, hadith & Shari’ah.
Islam’s revealed text, is the best refutation of Mr.
Santorum’s inaccurate and offensive remarks, which are unbecoming of
anyone who hopes to hold our nation’s highest office. Christians, Jews
and Muslims all worship the same God and share religious
traditions
that promote justice and equality.

Do Christians and Jews Worship a blood thirsty demon who appoints
warlords as prophets and demands great
slaughter as their price of
admission to Paradise?
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.
promote justice and equality
Muhammad (peace be upon him) stress racial
and gender
equality.The Prophet
said: ‘All people are equal as the teeth of a comb.’
Allah’s word declares that men are superior to women, whose
testimony is valued as half that men and who inherit half as much
as men.
And wish not for the things in which Allâh has made some of
you to excel others. For men there is reward for what they have
earned, (and likewise) for women there is reward
for what they have earned, and ask Allâh of His Bounty. Surely,
Allâh is Ever AllKnower of everything.
2:282.
[…] And if there are not two men (available), then a man and two women, such
as you agree for
witnesses,
so that if one of them (two women) errs, the other can remind her. And
the witnesses should not refuse when they are called on (for evidence).
4:11.
Allâh commands you as regards your children’s (inheritance); to the male, a portion
equal to that of two females;
if (there are) only daughters, two or more, their share is two thirds
of the inheritance; if only one, her share is half. […]
Prophet once told a companion: ‘You are not better than people (of
other races) unless you excel them in piety.’ (Al-Tirmidhi, Hadith 1361)
excel them in piety
How might Muslims excel us in piety? Allah conceals,
Moe reveals, look beneath the surface of the text! Muslims excel us in piety by attacking and
enslaving us.
You [true
believers in Islâmic Monotheism, and real followers of Prophet
Muhammad and his Sunnah (legal ways, etc.)] are the best of peoples
ever raised up for mankind;
you enjoin Al-Ma’rûf (i.e. Islâmic Monotheism and all that Islâm has
ordained) and forbid Al-Munkar (polytheism, disbelief and all that
Islâm has forbidden), and you believe in Allâh. And had the people of
the Scripture (Jews and Christians) believed, it would have
been better
for them; among them are some who have faith, but most of them
are
Al-Fâsiqûn (disobedient to Allâh – and rebellious against Allâh’s
Command).
Sahih Bukhari Volume 6, Book 60, Number 80:
Narrated Abu Huraira:
The Verse:–“You (true Muslims) are the best of peoples
ever raised up for mankind.” means, the best of peoples for
the people, as you bring them with chains on their necks till they
embrace Islam.
All Faiths are Equal
Religious liberty is one of the fundamental ideas of
America, but not of Islam. The Qur’an treats Christians and Jews
rather harshly, criticizing, cursing and declaring war against them.
Way of those on whom You have bestowed Your Grace, not (the way) of those who earned Your
Anger (such as the Jews), nor of those who went astray
(such as the Christians).
2:159. Verily, those who conceal the clear proofs,
evidences and the guidance, which We have sent down, after We have made
it clear for the people
in the Book, they are the ones cursed by Allâh and cursed by the
cursers.
2:160. Except those who repent and do righteous deeds, and openly
declare (the truth which they concealed). These, I will accept their
repentance. And I am the One Who accepts repentance, the Most Merciful.
2:161.
Verily, those who
disbelieve, and die while they are disbelievers, it is they on whom is the Curse of
Allâh and of the angels and of mankind, combined.
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.
Where Allah’s writ runs, Christians and Jews are
subject to draconian restrictions under Shari’ah. The following
quote is from Reliance of the Traveller.
Such non-Muslim subjects are obliged to comply
with Islamic rules that pertain to the safety and indemnity of life,
reputation, and property. In addition, they:
-1- are penalized for committing adultery or
theft, though not for drunkenness;
-2- are distinguished from
Muslims in dress, wearing a wide cloth belt (zunnar);
-3- are not greeted with
“as-Salamu ‘alaykum”;
-4- must keep to the side of
the street;
-5- may not build higher
than or as high as the Muslims’ buildings, though if they
acquire a tall house, it is not razed;
-6- are forbidden to openly
display wine or pork, (A: to ring church bells or display crosses,)
recite the Torah or Evangel aloud, or make public display of their
funerals and feastdays;
-7- and are forbidden to build new
churches.
