Title: Does Islam Breed Violence? (An Iranian-Born American's View)

There is a division of the house. On one side are the politically correct in government, the leftist mainstream media, and a raft of Islamist apologists. One and all are tripping over each other in reassuring us that the mass murderers such as Maj. Nidal Malik Hasan and suicide bombers who detonate their explosive vests in crowded marketplaces and even mosques are individual anomalies and Islam is not responsible for what they do.

On the other hand are those who have been fed up with the numberless daily horrific acts that are clearly committed under the banner of Islam throughout the world. In all fairness, there needs to be a distinction. 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 the Muslims proudly claim that they commit their heinous acts in obedience to the dictates of their religious faith.

Would someone, please, explain what motivated Nidal Hasan who had been, at tax payer’s expense, educated from college all the way through medical school and post medical-school training, to turn his deadly weapons against a nation that gave him everything he had?

If Islam had nothing to do with what Maj. Nidal Malik Hasan did, why:

* had he repeatedly preached the ascendancy of Islam to the U.S. Constitution?

* had he publicly supported Islamic suicide bombing?

* had he proclaimed his highest loyalty to Islam?

* had he been in contact with violent anti-U.S. Islamists and a virulent Yemeni Imam?

* did he distribute copies of the Quran to people the morning of his bloody attack?

* did he keep screaming “Allah-o-Akbar” as he heartlessly sprayed over a hundred bullets, killing thirteen and injuring some thirty innocent men and women?

Here is the truth, as bitter as it may be. Islam is the culprit. 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."

Qur'an:9:38 "Believers, what is the matter with you, that when you are asked to go forth and fight in Allah's Cause you cling to the earth? Do you prefer the life of this world to the Hereafter? Unless you go forth, He will afflict and punish you with a painful doom, and put others in your place."

Qur'an:47:4 "When you clash with the unbelieving Infidels in battle (fighting Jihad in Allah's Cause), smite their necks until you overpower them, killing and wounding many of them. At length, when you have thoroughly subdued them, bind them firmly, making (them) captives. Thereafter either generosity or ransom (them based upon what benefits Islam) until the war lays down its burdens. Thus are you commanded by Allah to continue carrying out Jihad against the unbelieving infidels until they submit to Islam."

And the Quran is considered by Muslims as the word-for-word literal edicts of the Muslims’ god, Allah.

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—Zolfaghar. Ali’s portrait, holding the menacing sword, adorns the homes and shops throughout Shi’a’-lands. And this man, Ali, is revered by the Shi’a at the same level as Muhammad.

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 base 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."

In reality, Islam is like a deadly contagious disease. Once it invades the mind of its victim, this debilitating disease is capable of transforming him to a helpless pawn that has no choice but to execute what he is directed to do.

Of the reported 1.3 billion Muslims in the world, millions are already trapped in the terminal stages of this affliction while millions of others are rapidly joining them. The people enslaved with the extreme cases of Islamic mental disease are highly infectious. They actively work to transmit the disease to others, while they themselves engage in horrific acts of mayhem and violence to demonstrate their unconditional obedience to the dictates of the Islamic cult of violence.

The savagery and variety of the actions of these Islamic captives are seen daily around the globe. Many of these acts, 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.

The recent dastardly mass murder at Fort Hood, committed by Maj. Nidal Malik Hasan will be forgotten by the public before very long. Life will continue on its deadly course, pushed along in a variety of ways by agents of death, Islamists. Only the families who lost their loved-ones and those who survived the bullets have to live the rest of their lives with incapacitating injuries, in the main, won’t be able to put the episode behind them.

The mass murderer Nidal Malik Hasan did not riddle people with bullets under the pressure of momentary insanity. The insanity, ironically, in a man who was trained to help people with sanity was introduced in him from the moment of birth and from the very early years when he prostrated himself five times daily toward Mecca in expression of total submission to the dogma of hate called Islam.

Islam is a mental retrovirus that has mutated into numerous varieties and degrees of severity, over the past 1400 years. Everyone born in a Muslim family, as well as those who convert to Islam, contract a particular mutation of the Islamic Virus. As is the case with all retroviruses, the Islamic Virus burrows deeply in the person and erupts, from time-to-time with potentially devastating consequences.

The Islamic Virus first divests the person of his most fundamental human attribute. It takes away his right to make decisions himself and absolves him, in return, of any responsibility for his actions rendered in blind obedience to it.

A true Muslim does not and cannot believe in freedom of choice. In the religion of Islam—Submission—everything is up to Allah, as clearly and repeatedly stipulated in the Quran .The Raison d'être for the Muslim is to be an unconditional submissive to the will and dictates of Allah. Everything that a “good” Muslim does is contingent upon the will and decree of Allah, he is indoctrinated to believe.

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 hand, 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.

For now, Islam is busy with what it did from the time of its birth, fighting the non-Muslims and infighting.

Truth be told: Violence is the animating force of Islam. Islam is a religion born through violence, raised by violence, thrives on violence and dies without violence.

You can't handle the truth.

Here's the truth.

9:6 And if anyone of the idolaters seeketh thy protection (O Muhammad), then protect him so that he may hear the Word of Allah, and afterward convey him to his place of safety. That is because they are a folk who know not.

9:7 How can there be a treaty with Allah and with His messenger for the idolaters save those with whom ye made a treaty at the Inviolable Place of Worship ? So long as they are true to you, be true to them. Lo! Allah loveth those who keep their duty.

You are forgetting the rule of Abrogation. In Islam, later revelations cancel out earlier ones.

You may want to keep that in mind when quoting the Koran. Meccan suras are peaceful; those were the first the prophet revealed.

Isn't that just like them to get it backwards.

Avoiding foreign entanglements is the best domestic policy.

Then you only have half the story. Check the Hadith and the Sunnah as well.

Here's a hint: The penalty for apostacy is death. It is not in the Koran but it is in the Hadith.

Check your sources, get your facts right. The Hadith is where the fun stuff is and it is what is consulted for an "interpretation" most often.

Like this modest example:

Bukhari Volume 4, Book 52, Number 177:

Narrated Abu Huraira:

Allah's Apostle said, "The Hour will not be established until you fight with the Jews, and the stone behind which a Jew will be hiding will say. "O Muslim! There is a Jew hiding behind me, so kill him."

Muslims are obligated to give alms (zakat).

Non-Muslims are obligated to pay taxes instead of giving alms.

Now how did the Muslims tax all those dead infidels they supposedly massacred?

ROTFLAMO!!!!

And since a substantial portion of income taxes goes to the military industrial complex, and a substantial portion of US foreign aid goes to support Israel, I certainly have paid my Israel protection money lately.

Although written by an atheist, at least a basic understanding of how the term is defined

Link

The nature of dar al-harb, which literally means "territory of war," needs to be explained in a bit more detail.

For one thing, its identification as a region of war is based upon the premise that strife and conflict are necessary consequences of people failing to follow God's will.

In theory, at least, when everyone is consistent in their adherence to the rules set down by God, then peace and harmony will result.

That being said, the continuous internecine strife in Muslim regions between Muslims demonstrates that they too are living in dar-al-harb.

I use commentaries for the Koran and we have a friendly local Imam who says that Sura 9:5 is "problematic" and explained to me why things are taken the way they are.

"Misunderstanders" of Islam all seem to "misunderstand" it the same way. Why? If you compare the Bible to the Koran you find a glaring difference.

Old Testament: "And God said to some person 'Go thou forth into the promised land and slay the Hittites, rape their women, and do a bunch of other nasty stuff."

Koran: "And do nasty stuff to people"

The difference? The Bible time-limits and directs individuals at certain times in certain places. It is pretty consistent in that. The Koran is open-ended. There are no time limits or places or specific people in many of the verses.

Obviously, some people take that open-endedness a bit too seriously.

Funny how that happens, isn't it, but they don't consider it 'dar al harb' if it is under Muslim rule.

Now, for the bonus question, what two things are Muslims required to do per their religion before commencing hostilities, what is a 'hudna' and what is the penalty for apostacy in Islam and why is it that way?

Just kidding, but seriously, how is that time-limiting?

More importantly, many followers of the Bible justify the nasty doings with these verses. Time-limited or not.

Actually, what happens is that you become an 'outlaw' in the traditional sense of the word (meaning you are outside the PROTECTION of the law) and the public may do with you as they please.

Rape, murder, assault - you're outside of their protection and they may feel free to have at you as they see fit.

Better pay your protection money promptly if you're under Islamic rule and you don't feel like converting.

Oh, and as a bonus, the Koran and Hadiths encourage the collection of the jizya to be "humiliating" to the unbeliever. Expect the collection to be impolite. Also, don't expect to be able to build a Church with much ease in an Islamic nation. If you pay, you are allowed to seek permission to do so, but they don't make it too easy to get that permission.

Atheists, well, they're pretty much screwed as the Koran limits the niceties to the "people of the book" - meaning Christians and Jews.

Oh, aren't you full of yourself..

Let me take a wild-ass guess.

The same things prescribed in Deuteronomy 20: 10- 18???

10 When you march up to attack a city, make its people an offer of peace.

11 If they accept and open their gates, all the people in it shall be subject to forced labor and shall work for you.

12 If they refuse to make peace and they engage you in battle, lay siege to that city.

13 When the LORD your God delivers it into your hand, put to the sword all the men in it.

14 As for the women, the children, the livestock and everything else in the city, you may take these as plunder for yourselves. And you may use the plunder the LORD your God gives you from your enemies.

15 This is how you are to treat all the cities that are at a distance from you and do not belong to the nations nearby.

16 However, in the cities of the nations the LORD your God is giving you as an inheritance, do not leave alive anything that breathes.

17 Completely destroy [a] them—the Hittites, Amorites, Canaanites, Perizzites, Hivites and Jebusites—as the LORD your God has commanded you.

The "time limit" is that the instruction is given to a specific person at a specific time in a specific place.

If I say to you, "Dude, go to the store and pick me up a pack of smokes" do you consider that to be an instruction for one specific time or do you consider it to be an instruction in perpetuity?

People who try to squeeze a lot of those verses into a "for all time" aren't taking the context appropriately. It doesn't stop them from trying to do it, but it gives the rest of us some ammunition to go after them with.

It's the New World Order Zionist Satanists we need be far more concerned with.

the Jews in Spain were so ***humiliated*** by the Moors that when the Moors left, the Jews left with them....

They did? Explain the Inquistion then, if they all left.

COMRADE! Why are you not showing your Party affiliation and showing proper respect for Dear Leader? Put your Barackstika armband on RIGHT NOW!

How about the rest of it? Care to define a 'hudna' for us?

How about taking out the plank in your own eye before you comment on the speck in your neighbor's eye?

A Jew said that.

You had him killed for saying things like that, of course.

You think the Inquisitors were that good they never make any mistakes?

LOL!

Explain how "Sephardic" [translation - "Spanish"] Jews ended up in Turkey.

Was Turkey ever part of Spain?

Nobody is perfect, least of all you.

So, define 'hudna' for us, please, since you are the self-proclaimed expert on Islam here tonight.

Just kidding, but seriously, how is that time-limiting?

The "time limit" is that the instruction is given to a specific person at a specific time in a specific place.

If I say to you, "Dude, go to the store and pick me up a pack of smokes" do you consider that to be an instruction for one specific time or do you consider it to be an instruction in perpetuity?

People who try to squeeze a lot of those verses into a "for all time" aren't taking the context appropriately. It doesn't stop them from trying to do it, but it gives the rest of us some ammunition to go after them with.

Yes, thank you for clarifying.

The problem is that many will take this type of verse found in the OT...

"And God said to some person 'Go thou forth into the promised land and slay the (Hittites), rape their women, and do a bunch of other nasty stuff."

And use it to justify what is happening in Palestine now.

WTH did Liberator go anyway?

You are not controlling the conversation.

Define it yourself.

If you are wrong and I feel like it, I will rebut you.

...and use it to justify slavery in the American South...and anything else that they want to use it to justify...

Yes, it is a problem and it is one that has been around for a long long time and is not likely to go away anytime soon.

The Palestinians need to take a lesson from Mohammed and call a hudna.

The difference? The Bible time-limits and directs individuals at certain times in certain places. It is pretty consistent in that. The Koran is open-ended. There are no time limits or places or specific people in many of the verses.

Absolute and utter bull$hit.

You can make just as much an argument that the Koran applies to the Arabian Peninsula in the 7th Century as the OT applies to whenever the Hittites and Canaanites existed.

More importantly, today's Jews are still fighting with the descendants of those individuals their deity commanded them to slaughter.

Now for your ****bonus question.***

Are today's Jews still worshipping that same deity?
