Resistance See other Resistance Articles 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 payers 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 Muslims 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 Prophets 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 nameZolfaghar. Alis portrait, holding the menacing sword, adorns the homes and shops throughout Shia-lands. And this man, Ali, is revered by the Shia at the same level as Muhammad. On the Sunni side, Muhammads 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 mans 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, wont 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 IslamSubmissioneverything 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 anothers 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.

Refutations? Anyone? Who will be the first the blame "THE JOOS"?? And who will be the first to ignore the truth and be an apologist for Islam? One cannot not support Islam and be pro-America, yet the converse of supporting both Israel and America IS true. Remaining "neutral" is virtually impossible; Pick a side. Under whose influence or "neighborhood" would you survive?
The first pillar of Islam is Belief and Witness - believing and professing the unity of God and the messengership of Muhammad, teaching others about Islam but do not use coersion to convert them. There are those who choose to distort the scriptures and abuse it, just as in other religions, even in Christianity. Most of the slaves brought here from Africa were of Muslim faith. They were forbidden to practice their own faith and forced to convert to Christianity. They see Christianity as part of the oppression they suffered under the white man as slaves and early on after they were freed. There are many movements now dedicated to helping them revert back to their ancestral religion - Islam. I've been studying their beliefs this week and the stereotypes are disgustingly misleading. Believe whatever you want to believe. Most of our ancestors came here to escape religious prosecution - they came here to practice their beliefs in peace. Our nation was founded on freedoms, the freedom of religion included. Get off your high horse. Your religion has done just as much damage as anyone elses.
Mel, I hate to step on your god-damned toes but you are [full] of shit.
Mel, I hate to step on your god-damned toes but you are [full] of shit. It's well documented Bucky.
Prove your perspective.
Fisher, M. P. (2005). Living religions (6th ed.). It's not my perspective. It's fact - recorded history.
Many does not mean most. Yet where is the evidence that African slaves brought teachings and practices from the Koran to the New World? That author is basing his theory on an unproven premise. And don't forget also that most Caribbean Indian tribes were captured and enslaved by good Christians right here in the New World without an ounce of Muslim help.
Only those slaves from [West] Africa. I inadvertantly left out the "West" pat in my original post. It's not theory and it's not unproven. Seiously? lol. They were not allowed to practice their religion. They were forced to practice Christianity. Still, they maintained some pat of their ancestral religion in secret. Here's some more from the text:
They kept many parts of their tribal culture hidden but still practiced especially in the Caribbean Islands. Yet not an ounce of the Koran made it through until it's "revival" by Jewish white liberals in the seventies. To take advantage of the upcoming need for Black distinction and division among the races in this country, plus Indian power, feminism, gay rights and even animal rights got their start then too and by many of the same people most of whom belonged to an ancient tribe. This killed the melting pot theory in it's tracks. Who would be the least interested in assimilating?
In the 70's is when oil-rich nations found that by banding together they could control the price and availability of oil. Illegals from Mexico. ;-)
