The Pope’s Vain Hope
My Google Alert for UN Interreligious Dialogue triggered on UPI NewsTrack TopNews which revealed that Pope Benedict XVI issued an apostolic exhortation in which he called upon Islamic countries to reciprocate in religious freedom.
The full text of “Verbum Domini” is available at Zenit. It begins with an index, which indicates that it is rather long. The section of interest to me comes just before the conclusion.
The Word Of God And Interreligious Dialogue
The value of interreligious dialogue [117]
Dialogue between Christians and Muslims [118]
Dialogue with other religions [119]
Dialogue and religious freedom [120]
life as a fundamental value
It is a fundamental value to us, but not to Islam.
- 2:212. Beautified is the life of this world for those who disbelieve, …
- 3:185. …The life of this world is only the enjoyment of deception (a deceiving thing).
- 4:74. Let those (believers) who sell the life of this world for the Hereafter fight in the Cause of Allâh, and whoso fights in the Cause of Allâh, and is killed or gets victory, We shall bestow on him a great reward.
- 6:32. And the life of this world is nothing but play and amusement. …
- 9:38. …Are you pleased with the life of this world rather than the Hereafter? But little is the enjoyment of the life of this world as compared with the Hereafter.
inalienable rights
Sorry, those are for Muslims only.
- Sahih Bukhari 1.8.387 :
…Narrated Maimun ibn Siyah that he asked Anas bin Malik, “O Abu Hamza! What makes the life and property of a person sacred?” He replied, “Whoever says, ‘None has the right to be worshipped but Allah’, faces our Qibla during the prayers, prays like us and eats our slaughtered animal, then he is a Muslim, and has got the same rights and obligations as other Muslims have.”
equal dignity
- Sahih Bukhari 1.8.387 : …”I have been ordered to fight the people till they say: ‘None has the right to be worshipped but Allah.’ And if they say so, pray like our prayers, face our Qibla and slaughter as we slaughter, then their blood and property will be sacred to us…
Our blood and property are not sacred to Muslims and we have no rights; a great basis for dialogue indeed. Reliance of the Traveller, book o, Chapter 4 details the indemnity to be paid in the case of manslaughter. Few things reflect Islam’s inequity better than this provision of Islamic law.
- o4.9 …
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 of a Zoroastrian is one-fifteenth of that a Muslim….
authentic respect
Yeah, right; our blood & property ain’t sacred to them, is there something more we need to know before we tell them where to go?
freedom of religion
- 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.
What does Islamic law say about religious liberty?
- o11.5
-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.
- o11.10
The agreement is also violated (A: with respect to the offender alone) if the state has stipulated that any of the following things break it, and one of the subjects does so anyway, though if the state has not stipulated that these break the agreement, then they do not; namely, if one of the subject people:
-1- commits adultery with a Muslim woman or marries her;
-2- conceals spies of hostile forces;
-3- leads a Muslim away from Islam;
-4- kills a Muslim;
-5- or mentions something impermissible about Allah, the Prophet (Allah bless him and give him peace), or Islam.
Islamic doctrine holds that only Islam is true, that all other belief systems are false or defiled by demonic interjection. Where Allah’s writ runs, Christians are persecuted; that is not going to change. Islamic doctrine is fixed & immutable. The relationship between Islam and Christianity is predator : prey.
As far as Muslims are concerned, they alone have the truth, you have error & doubt. There is only monologue, no dialogue; it is a one way street. Religious freedom is for Muslims only. Dignity & rights are for Muslims only.
We have a desperate need for leaders, elected, academic & ecclesiastic who know the truth about Islam and have the courage to stand up and declare it. The rest of us need to be sufficiently informed so that we can detect lies when we hear or read them.
For the comprehensive course, read Craig Winn’s The Prophet of Doom. It is only 1000 pages long. yet it combines the most essential elements of the Qur’an, hadith, sira & tahrik. For the short course, read Suhas Majumdar’s Jihad, The Islamic Doctrine of Permanent War.
If you are willing to read primary sources, you can access the Noble Qur’an which includes bracketed expressions from tafsir and the translator’s notes. I gave you a link to the page containing 2:190 because its footnote includes the most honest definition of jihad. You can use navigation links on that page to access any part of the Qur’an. Sahih Bukhari and three other hadith collections are available at USC-MSA. I gave you a direct link to the first saying in the Book of Jihad. Navigation links are at the top of the page.
If you prefer to take it all in at once, try Tafsir Ibn Kathir, which combines the Qur’an with relevant hadith and commentary. Each page has a link to its successor. I suggest beginning with Surah 8, continuing through Surah 9.
Islam as Perpetual Predation
Gordon Osmond, writing at Open Salon, discusses “Islam as Religion” His second paragraph raises an important issue and fails to settle it.
That bridge between Islam and the First Amendment’s free exercise clause must not be crossed. Islam is a way of life, not a religion. Everything Allah and Moe commanded is law.

Islamic law encompasses all of human life, it is not limited to religious issues. That is because Islam is a complete, all encompassing way of life, not a religion. That way of life is predatory, and its pray are those who disbelieve. Book O defines jihad, describing its obligatory nature and objectives. Did you notice the two classes of people upon whom war is waged? Did you notice the rules regarding spoilation and the division of spoils? For those who can not connect the data points, I present links to a few relevant ayat and one relevant hadith.
Why does the “religion of peace” have laws fixing the allocation of spoils? Why did Allah give Moe special dispensation to collect spoils? For those who can not connect the data points, I present another saying.
Narrated Abdullah ibn Umar:
I heard the Apostle of Allah, (peace_be_upon_him) say: When you enter into the inah transaction, hold the tails of oxen, are pleased with agriculture, and give up conducting jihad (struggle in the way of Allah). Allah will make disgrace prevail over you, and will not withdraw it until you return to your original religion.
Two alternative ways of life are presented, agriculture and jihad. What is the consequence of rejecting jihad in favor of agriculture? What is their “original religion”?
Osmond’s concluding paragraph brings up an extremely important issue; I added emphasis to the critical clause.
Does Islam threaten human dignity and freedom? Two ayat contain jihad imperatives:
Those commands to wage war are codified in Reliance of the Traveller, Book O9.8-9. I will show you enough to confirm what I have already stated and arouse your curiosity. Click the links for full documentation.
http://www.crusadersarmory.co.cc/RelianceO9-8.html
The caliph fights all other peoples until they become Muslim (O: because they are not a people with a Book, nor honored as such, and are not permitted to settle with paying the poll tax (jizya) ) http://www.crusadersarmory.co.cc/RelianceO9-9.html
Does waging war against us impair our dignity and freedom? Consider what Moe said about the matter, paying special attention to the clauses I emphasized.
Narrated Anas bin Malik:
Allah’s Apostle said, “I have been ordered to fight the people till they say: ‘None has the right to be worshipped but Allah.’ And if they say so, pray like our prayers, face our Qibla and slaughter as we slaughter, then their blood and property will be sacred to us and we will not interfere with them except legally and their reckoning will be with Allah.” Narrated Maimun ibn Siyah that he asked Anas bin Malik, “O Abu Hamza! What makes the life and property of a person sacred?” He replied, “Whoever says, ‘None has the right to be worshipped but Allah’, faces our Qibla during the prayers, prays like us and eats our slaughtered animal, then he is a Muslim, and has got the same rights and obligations as other Muslims have.”
Are our blood and property sacred to Muslims? How do we obtain human rights? If you can accurately answer those two questions, you will understand how Islam conflicts with our dignity & rights. It will then be clear to you exactly why Islam can not fit under the umbrella of the free exercise clause.
Obamination: Iftar Treason
President Obama celebrated sunset with an Iftar Tuesday, August 1, 2009. Excerpts from his remarks follow, with my comments interspersed.
Islam, as we know, is part of America.
Islam can not be a part of America. Islam is, by its own intrinsic nature, permanently alienated. In the Islamic world view, only Allah has the right to rule. Any government that rules by man made law instead of Shari’ah is unjust and must be removed by Jihad, if necessary. Moe prophesied that Jesus Christ will rule by the Qur’an when he returns.
Islam is not compatible with democracy. Allah said “It is not for a believer, man or woman, when Allâh and His Messenger have decreed a matter that they should have any option in their decision.” [33:36] Allah and his Messenger (or Caliph ) make all the decisions; Joe Camel has no choice in the matter. Islam is theocratic autocracy, the polar opposite of democracy.
One of those values is the freedom to practice your religion — a right that is enshrined in the First Amendment of the Constitution. Nashala Hearn, who joins us from Muskogee, Oklahoma, took a stand for that right at an early age. When her school district told her that she couldn’t wear the hijab, she protested that it was a part of her religion. The Department of Justice stood behind her, and she won her right to practice her faith.
The practice of Islam entails more than hijab, salat, zakat, hajj & iman. Islam is not complete without Jihad, which is mandatory, not an optional extra. Jihad is defined in Islamic law as making war on non-Muslims. [Reliance of the Traveller, O9.0.] Jihad is a communal obligation, binding upon Muslims in every year. [O9.1]
The annual obligation to perform Jihad is confirmed by fiqh. Observe what Al-Shafi-i said about it. “The least that the imam must do is that he allow no year to pass without having organised a military expedition by himself, or by his raiding parties, according to the Muslims’ interest, so that the jihad will only be stopped in a year for a (reasonable) excuse.”
If Muslims have a right to practice their religion, then they have a right to kill you, rape your widow, enslave your orphans and seize your property. If there is a right to practice Islam, we have no rights.
They all contain truths. Among those truths are the pursuit of peace and the dignity of all human beings. That must always form the basis upon which we find common ground.
Islam divides the world into Dar al-Islam, where Allah’s writ runs and Dar al-Harb, where Allah’s writ does not run. Peace is when Dar al-Harb (the house of war) is conquered and engulfed by Dar al-Islam. I suggest that you read O9.8 & O9.9 of Reliance of the Traveller. So much for the pursuit of peace.
Islam recognizes the dignity of Muslims, not all human beings. Pagans & Atheists are to be converted, enslaved or killed, people with scriptural religions are to be subjugated and extorted, surviving as sub-humans living at sufferance. One of Islam’s codified oral traditions has Moe declaring that our blood and property are not sacred to Muslims until we become Muslims. [Sahih Bukhari 1.8.387.]
Together, we have a responsibility to foster engagement grounded in mutual interest and mutual respect.
There is no mutual interest between prey and predator. Respect is earned, Islam has not earned it. Respect is reciprocal, Islam gives none, see the citation immediately above: our blood and property are not sacred to Muslims.
So tonight, we celebrate a great religion, and its commitment to justice and progress.
What is Islam’s greatness? Judaism gave us monotheism. Christianity gave us hope of salvation. Islam gives us predestination & predation. Islam’s ‘greatness’, which it seeks to restore, is the Caliphate which enslaved nearly half the world at its peak.
What commitment to justice and progress? Shari’ah prescribes hudud, including corporal punishment. Proving rape requires four male witnesses who observed penetration. Rape victims are punished. The testimony of two women is required to equal that of one man.
Ten days prior to the eighth anniversary of the Accursed Abomination, our recently elected President celebrated the month in which the damnable book was “revealed”; the book whose sanctification of Jihad motivated the nineteen murderers of three thousand of our fellows. He referred to the war cult which sponsored the attack a “great religion”, praising its “commitment to peace” & justice.
Allahu skata!! Camel dung in the desert. Islam: predatory war cult. Moe: profiteering pirate, pretender to prophecy, pederast, lecher & murderer. Obama: traitor. You fools who elected him should burn your voter registration cards and hang your heads in shame. No words can express my disgust.
Instruments of Love and Harmony #4
From Zenit.org comes Final Statement of Catholic-Muslim Forum “Called to Be Instruments of Love and Harmony”
For background information about the meetings, see this Reuters article of 11/06/08.
The statement includes an enumerated list of fifteen points which present a target rich environment In this installment, I’ll take on the fourth point of agreement.[Links & emphasis added.]
We affirm that God’s creation of humanity has two great aspects: the male and the female human person, and we commit ourselves jointly to ensuring that human dignity and respect are extended on an equal basis to both men and women.
Taken at face value, the fourth point means that the Muslims participating in the meeting accept the concept of gender equality. By so doing, they would sever themselves from Allah and become apostates.
Allah said “Your wives are a tilth for you“. World Reference defines tilth as: “cultivated land, farmland, plowland, ploughland, tilled land,”. Ibn Kathir affirms the fact that 2:223 is a proscription of anal intercourse. According to Ibn Abbas, “the vulvas of your wives are plantations for your offspring“. It is clear that Islam values women for reproductive capacity. Is the land a farmer tills equal to him? Does it share his dignity? Unless he is a slave, sharecropper or renter, it is his property.
An-Nisa’ 34 is generally cited as divine permission for wife beating but I want to point out its masculine supremacism.
- 4:34. Men are the protectors and maintainers of women, because Allah has made one of them to excel the other, and because they spend (to support them) from their means. Therefore the righteous women are devoutly obedient (to Allah and to their husbands), and guard in the husband’s absence what Allah orders them to guard (e.g. their chastity, their husband’s property, etc.). As to those women on whose part you see illconduct, admonish them (first), (next), refuse to share their beds, (and last) beat them (lightly, if it is useful), but if they return to obedience, seek not against them means (of annoyance). Surely, Allah is Ever Most High, Most Great.
There can be no doubt that the Muslima’s role is subordination & submission. In the third installment of this series, I pointed out the fact that Muslimas receive only half an inheritance and their testimony is weighted as half that of a male’s.
Moe taught that women are deficient.
- The women asked, “O Allah’s Apostle! What is deficient in our intelligence and religion?” He said, “Is not the evidence of two women equal to the witness of one man?” They replied in the affirmative. He said, “This is the deficiency in her intelligence. Isn’t it true that a woman can neither pray nor fast during her menses?” The women replied in the affirmative. He said, “This is the deficiency in her religion.” [Bukhari 1.6.301]
Either the Muslim participants in the forum are contradicting Allah and his Messenger or their affirmation of equality is insincere. Which is it?

Islam Guarantees Human Wrongs.
Thanks and a tip of the hat to The Gathering Storm whose email alerted me to this!
The quotes below are from an article in the Gulf Times.
Islam guarantees every citizen basic human rights and a successful society will have to be based on these principles, said Dr Mubarak al-Kuwari, an Awqaf official, while delivering a lecture at the two-day workshop organised by the Ministry of Interior (MoI) yesterday. [Emphasis added.]
The words in bold face are deceptive; substitute every Muslim to make the statement truthful. Conquered pagans & atheists must revert to Islam be killed; Jews, Christians & Zoroastrians are allowed to retain their religion, but are subjected to severe legal, social & economic restrictions, making them less than second class citizens. Refer to the Pact of Umar for the details.
“The Shari’ah (jurisprudence) of Islam doesn’t allow mistreatment of any other human being, regardless of creed, ethnicity or religion and treats all humans equally,”
Sharia is based on Moe’s recitation & example; take a peek at a small sample thereof.
- 3:12. Say (O Muhammad ) to those who disbelieve: “You will be defeated and gathered together to Hell, and worst indeed is that place to rest.”
- 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.“
- 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.
- Sahih Bukhari Volume 1, Book 8, Number 387:
Narrated Anas bin Malik:
Allah’s Apostle said, “I have been ordered to fight the people till they say: ‘None has the right to be worshipped but Allah.’ And if they say so, pray like our prayers, face our Qibla and slaughter as we slaughter, then their blood and property will be sacred to us and we will not interfere with them except legally and their reckoning will be with Allah.” Narrated Maimun ibn Siyah that he asked Anas bin Malik, “O Abu Hamza! What makes the life and property of a person sacred?” He replied, “Whoever says, ‘None has the right to be worshipped but Allah’, faces our Qibla during the prayers, prays like us and eats our slaughtered animal, then he is a Muslim, and has got the same rights and obligations as other Muslims have.” - 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. - Abu Dawud Book 41, Number 5186:
Narrated AbuHurayrah:
Suhayl ibn AbuSalih said: I went out with my father to Syria. The people passed by the cloisters in which there were Christians and began to salute them. My father said: Do not give them salutation first, for AbuHurayrah reported the Apostle of Allah (peace_be_upon_him) as saying: Do not salute them (Jews and Christians) first, and when you meet them on the road, force them to go to the narrowest part of it.
“In fact, Islam goes on to the extent and calls one innocent death of a fellow being as the death of all ‘mankind’,”
That quote relates to 5:32. But they’ll never cite the ayeh which follows; I will!
- 5:33. The recompense of those who wage 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.
Waging war against Allah includes self defense when attacked by Muslims. What does mischief mean in this context?
- `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. [Ibn Kathir’s Tafsir]
Mere disbelief is sufficient to subject one to the barbaric punishments listed in 5:33 !!! Your blood and property are not sacred to Muslims. You can be crucified, killed or crippled for simple disbelief in their demon. Is there anything more you need to know about Islam before condemning it?
