ummah-384x217Are you fed up with numerous daily horrific acts that are clearly committed under the banner of Islam throughout the world? Are you tired of hearing it? Well, so am I. However, I have to inform you that it is only going to get worse before it finally disappears into the dustbin of history. The savagery and variety of actions of Islamic extremists are seen daily around the globe committed under the banner of Islam, have become so commonplace that the world has come to view them as the normal part and parcel of a troubled humanity. And, from time-to-time, the world is shocked into a passing and momentary realization of the evil deeds these Islamist robots commit and quickly gets over it and does nothing to seriously address this affliction of humanity.

Numerous criminal acts are also committed on a daily basis, by non-Muslims. The critical difference is that non-Muslim criminals do not hoist a religious banner to justify their misdeeds, while Muslims proudly claim that they commit their heinous acts in obedience to the dictates of their religious faith.

Humanity is facing a deeply troubling dilemma. On the one hand is the desire of enlightened people whose aim it is to forge a world of diverse people into one universal society ruled by peace and justice for everyone while, on the other, Islamists are hell-bent on imposing their Stone-Age system on everyone. Tellingly, the Muslims themselves are at one another’s throat regarding which of dozens of Islamic sects’ dogma should rule.

Right from the start, violence served as the engine of Islam under the command and supervision of Muhammad himself. For one, the Prophet’s son-in-law cousin, Ali, was titled the Commander of the Faithful for his unsurpassed feats of butchery. Ali with the assistance of one or two of his thugs, beheaded some seven hundred captives, most of them Jews, in only one day. This man, highly esteemed by the prophet of Allah, had a sword that had its own name—Zolfaquar. Ali’s portrait, holding the menacing sword, adorns the homes and shops throughout Shi’a’-lands. And the Shiites, at the same level as Muhammad, revere Muhammad’s executioner, Imam Ali.

On the Sunni side, Muhammad’s co-revered is Umar, another unabashed killer of untold numbers. And of course the choice weapon of these champions of the religion of peace was the sword. And to this day, a sword adorns the flag of the birthplace of the religion of peace, Saudi Arabia.

And Islam, by the nature of its very doctrine, appeals to man’s baser nature. It promotes intolerance, hatred, discrimination, and much more:

Qur’an:61:2 “O Muslims, why say one thing and do another? Grievously odious and hateful is it in the sight of Allah that you say that which you do not. Truly Allah loves those who fight in His Cause in a battle array, as if they were a solid cemented structure.

Truth be told as bitter as it may be. Islam is a violent ideology. Islam is anything but a religion of peace. Violence is at the very core of Islam. Violence is institutionalized in the Muslim’s holy book, the Quran, in many suras:

Qur’an:9:5 “Fight and kill the disbelievers wherever you find them, take them captive, harass them, lie in wait and ambush them using every stratagem of war.”

Qur’an:9:112 “The Believers fight in Allah’s cause; they slay and are slain, kill and are killed.”

Qur’an:8:39 “So fight them until there is no more Fitnah (disbelief [non-Muslims]) and all submit to the religion of Allah alone (in the whole world).”

Qur’an:8:65 “O Prophet, urge the faithful to fight. If there are twenty among you with determination they will vanquish two hundred; if there are a hundred then they will slaughter a thousand unbelievers, for the infidels are a people devoid of understanding.”

Truth is not always welcome and can often be greatly disturbing. But truth is the best weapon against evil and falsehood. When I point out the horrific teachings of the Quran, I don't make them up. I cite surahs from their holy book, surahs that exhort Muslims to carry out all kinds of evil deeds against non-Muslims. This book of Allah is a license to kill. When I point out that Muhammad set terrible examples for his followers by his own deeds, I cite from their own sources to document my assertion.

Is there anyone in this messed-up world who doesn't read, see, or hear about the daily Islamic atrocities performed by these savages, with every act justified on the basis of Allah's holy book?

Qur'an 8:12 "I shall terrorize the infidels. So wound their bodies and incapacitate them because they oppose Allah and His Apostle."

Self-described doctors of Islamic ideology universally practice sugarcoating the cult of Islam. They keep ranting about the importance of accepting things on faith, denigrate reason, dangle carrots and sticks, and demand unconditional surrender in return for guaranteed bliss and salvation. The masses toe the line, support the clergy’s lavish parasitic lifestyle and the charade continues. It works like a charm. Use the Jihad of the sword when it can and use the “Soft Jihad” until the sword can be unsheathed to finish the job. And don’t forget, the end justifies any and all means, Islam apologists keep on preaching to the hordes.

Islam apologists never present the naked face of Islam. They never speak of the Islam that thrives on hate, throws acid in the face of women who fail to don the hijab or girls going to school; flogging people for sporting non-Islamic haircuts,  stoning to death, violators of sexual norms and other forms of Islamic brutalities such as Honor Killing. They never talk about institutionalized pedophilia in Islam.

Moderate Muslims dilemma

 

wishy-washy_and_real_muslimsIn my opinion, cultural Muslims (Muslims in name only), or better known in the west as “Moderate Muslims” are a wavering segment who are caught between their imprinted belief in Islam, their disillusionment and problem with many aspects of the secular society, and their personal fantasies.

These people will continue wavering and reach for any straw to balance themselves. Not an easy task. Being a Muslim, no matter how little a Muslim, gives these vast numbers of people, many bewildered and overwhelmed by modern life's complexities and contradictions, a kind of refuge. They yearn for safety, for immortality of the soul if not the body; they want all the pleasures of physical life, yet they want to make sure that they are also providing for the life after death by pleasing Allah. So, as you can surmise, this whole thing is extremely complicated. It is a most difficult task to give up the concocted and imaginary life vest that Islam seems to provide for these people. They have nothing else to grab onto.

Another religion? Would it be any better? Would it serve them both in this world and the next? Would it relieve their personal existentialistic crises? These are all tough issues. Most humans need to believe in something. Something bigger than themselves, something that would give them, or at least hold the promise of granting them, their wishes at little cost.

Religion of one form or another seems to be the most attractive source for the masses to turn to. Of course there are other sources. Many to be sure. Yet, all exact a price. Becoming a nihilist, for instance, and not believing in anything and leading life on a moment-to-moment basis is one way to go. A life that is akin to a rudder-less ship that drifts in circles until it sinks. This kind of life is extremely disturbing to the person and may lead him to resort to auxiliary activities such as excessive drinking, use of mind-numbing drugs, sexual promiscuity, and much more.

Yet, for one and all, there is a price to pay. Humans seem to be unable to exist in a psychological and spiritual vacuum. They need to believe in something to maintain a degree of self-sanity and stability. Islam provides a degree of this highly sought stability and security. For this reason leaving it altogether, even for the highly educated and for a person who knows better is extremely difficult.

It is indeed baffling to me that a particular tyrannical group of fanatics claim to represent the Creator of all and pass judgment who is to live in peace and who is to suffer horrific treatments. This mentality is the ultimate form of arrogance and the world must confront and erase it by a united effort. Enough is enough. This is the 21st century and people all over the world must be afforded the freedom to lead their lives, pray as they like, and be protected under fair laws.

It is truly sad that these people are driven by a horrific lower nature trait of hate. Love is alien to them, justice only limited to their own, and tolerance is something that they have nothing to do with. Sad, very sad indeed. They are like bats — beasts of darkness. They hate the light of love. How sad, indeed. We should do what Christ said: Pray for them, for they do not know better.

In short, Islam is busy with what it did from the time of its birth, fighting non-Muslims and infighting. Truth be told: Violence is the animating force of Islam. Islam is a religion born through violence, raised by violence; it thrives on violence and dies without violence.

Well said and well done, Amil.
I have worked with a few Muslims over the years and as every day people they seem pretty normal. But when they are seen as a group they take on different attributes. The once humble soft spoken person or neighbor now is more outspoken and more demanding of respect. Any questions about their religion are viewed as insults and are met with frowns. If this is the macro version of Islam what in the hell can we expect of the world wide view? ANY religion that teaches supremacy is wrong and dangerous to all others of different faiths or no faiths. There is no good version of Islam and the sooner we as free people of the world rise up and tell them NO MORE violence or else, the sooner the world will be stable again.
We err in referring to Islam as a religion, which it is not. It is a totalitarian system of absolute control over it's adherents and victims. As with all such systems (Communism, Nazism, socialism) it leads to complete chaos and destruction where ever it holds sway. Additionally, Muslims are steeped in intolerance and a poisonous hatred for anyone different, misogyny at it's most virulent and violent, and complicated by in-breeding and perverted sexuality. As a culture they are truly a throw back to savagery and barbarism not seen in 3000 years of human experience. Islam is EVIL, through and through.

The fact that Islam has destroyed cultures and traditions, obliterated or re-written History every place they've conquered, should alone make anyone wary of the intent of this insidious group. No matter what a so-called "moderate" says - they are only following the diktats of their un-holy book and deranged "prophet" to dominate the world by any means.
The wahhabis have always been the problem. Saudi Arabia is ruled by many Princes, some of whom ignore these folks and go on about their lives but some who actively encourage and support JIhad. The Shia movement in Iran is also a problem but the undercore of jihad movement is in Saudi Arabia. Both of the movements have little to do with the belief of anything other than personal power of a few over many. It is totally severed from any spirituality. Religion is used as a powerful tool to control many, particularly in Islamic state where education is limited. It is time we smell the coffee. This religion is no mare than the codification the violent ways of the Arabian Peninsula, it is a religion spread by fear and violence. Christians have had some practitioners who did and do this, however the texts of Christianity do not condone it. Good and evil do exist, the lines are not always pure nor are individuals always pure, but it seems to me one who respects human dignity is different from one who does not.
A "terrorist Muslim" will kill you any time any place. A "moderate Muslim" will let them and do nothing about it. Any Questions?
Wiser men than I am have observed Islam and found it wanting. "I studied the Koran a great deal. I came away from that study with the conviction there have been few religions in the world as deadly to men as that of Muhammad. So far as I can see, it is the principal cause of the decadence so visible today in the Muslim world and, though less absurd than the polytheism of old, its social and political tendencies are in my opinion to be feared, and I therefore regard it as a form of decadence rather than a form of progress in relation to paganism itself. - Alexis de Tocqueville

"How dreadful are the curses which Mohammedanism lays on its votaries! Besides the fanatical frenzy, which is as dangerous in a man as hydrophobia in a dog, there is this fearful fatalistic apathy. The effects are apparent in many countries. Improvident habits, slovenly systems of agriculture, sluggish methods of commerce, and insecurity of property exist wherever the followers of the Prophet rule or live. A degraded sensualism deprives this life of its grace and refinement; the next of its dignity and sanctity." - Winston Churchill
The truth is that islam is a radical expansionist, militaristic, seditious faux-religion. There are no moderate muslims any more than there are moderate Nazis or moderate KKK members, or moderate white supremecists. By pretending to be a religion, islam gets a free pass from the well-meaning Judeo-Christians who understand bigotry, persecution and the evil of the Holocaust. Those believers understand how important freedom of religion must be for the world to survive. The bottom line is simple: if you read and understand the koran and sharia law, you know the truth of islamic sophistry.
Thank you Mr. Imani for a fine and reasonable article.

Without Islam, the mass murders on 9/11 would never have happened. It took a Koran and pious Muslim preachings to convince 19 young men it was all right to indiscriminately massacre thousands of innocent men, women and children. In that sense, Islam was doing what Islam was created to do. That is, create a climate where ignorant people believe they would be rewarded by heaven when they martyr themselves doing something grotesquely evil in the name of a religion. No rational, nonbeliever would think that true. Sure, it may be possible the convince one crazed sociopath to murder, but to get a whole gang to calmly murder so many guiltless people would be impossible without a belief system like Islam. The hijackers were not misusing their religion, their religion was using them exactly as the warrior religion of Islam was designed to use good Muslims. Moderate Muslims are no different than mass murdering Muslims except they have yet to be called upon by their spiritual leaders to do their religious duty.
Islam is an existential threat to humanity. There are millions of moderate Muslims, but there is no moderate Islam. There is no Islamic doctrine other than eternal jihad against non-believers, subjugation of women, persecution of gays, and so on. "Moderate" Muslims are just normal human beings, "normal" meaning an inborn tendency of humans to not kill and maim strangers, who were trapped at birth into the violent, relentless tyranny of Islam.

Few among us want to talk about this, but if we don't wipe Islam off the earth, it will NEVER stop killing us and subverting our culture. They won't stop. Ever. We don't want to talk of this because, well, the idea of wiping out Islam sounds like genocidal talk to our PC-compliant ears, conditioned over generations to worship "religious tolerance."

Islam is not a religion. It's a relentless tyranny willing to use any and all means to wipe us out and assimilate the survivors into their alien world. In a struggle for survival, not just for us and our children, but for humanity itself, what weapons will we voluntarily lay aside? Gulp. Gut-wrenching and awful as it is, this is the truth. Wishing it weren't will just kill more of us. It won't stop Islam from it's endless and relentless goal of total subjugation of all humans.
The problem many of us have with "non-practicing muslims" is that they are still claiming to the world that they believe mohammed was the perfect man and should be emulated. A "moderate" person cannot claim to be of a religion (even one he does not practice) that has a mass-murdering rapist and torturer at its core. Islam must be denied not just "left alone" or 'lived with," in order to stop their adoration of mohammed's life.
