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.
Author's Bio:
Amil Imani is an Iranian-born American citizen and pro-democracy activist residing in the United States of America. Imani is a columnist, literary translator, novelist and an essayist who has been writing and speaking out for the struggling people of his native land, Iran. He and his family escaped Iran after the radical Islamic revolution.
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."
And Father Abraham said:
"By your sword you shall live, and your brother you shall serve. But when you become restive, you will throw his yoke from off your neck."
You are parasites living off of America, and I am on America's side.
YOU are an anti-American pro-Muslim POS liar.
AV, you are on the side of the sick and depraved; You cheer on Muslims who murder innocent blood around the world WHEREVER they infect it.
OI, you may play that game of neutrality with a twist - but no one's buying it.
YOU will always be cheering for Islam to wipe Israel off the face of the earth - just like the other Islamic Death Cultists like your pro-jihadist pal.
American tax dollars did not pay for that beheading, dissembling SOS.
American tax dollars did pay for this one.
Except you pathetic anti-American raghead, American troops do NOT celebrate Death. Innocent death makes them sick. They've taken great care NOT to be careless - considering Muzzies are sniping at Americans from Mosques and behind women and children. Effin cowards that they are.
Your Muslim brethren kill...for kicks. They rampage through African villages slashing off the breasts of defenseless mothers, dismembering men, women and children - ALL in the name of Allah.
Gonna blame the Joos or Americans for that too? Would you like to see more grizzly photos?
9-4. (But the treaties are) not dissolved with those Pagans with whom ye have entered into alliance and who have not subsequently failed you in aught, nor aided any one against you. So fulfil your engagements with them to the end of their term: for Allah loveth the righteous.
9-5. But when the forbidden months are past, then fight and slay the Pagans wherever ye find them, an seize them, beleaguer them, and lie in wait for them in every stratagem (of war); but if they repent, and establish regular prayers and practise regular charity, then open the way for them: for Allah is Oft-forgiving, Most Merciful.
9-6. If one amongst the Pagans ask thee for asylum, grant it to him, so that he may hear the word of Allah. and then escort him to where he can be secure. That is because they are men without knowledge.
9-7. How can there be a league, before Allah and His Messenger, with the Pagans, except those with whom ye made a treaty near the sacred Mosque? As long as these stand true to you, stand ye true to them: for Allah doth love the righteous.
Like a broken clock you found an exception; With Muslims IT'S THE RULE. And EVERYONE knows it. The bloodier, the better. The more decapitations, the better; And curiously enough, Muslims LOVE killing other Muslims....
About 10% of them are capable of living as normal human beings.
Oh btw...I bought my new car from a Muslim. He was very respectable and a gentlemen. Of course who knows what goes on at home or at his Mosque, or what he thinks of a non-Muslim America.

I'm cruising along, reading this tripe, when I saw this:
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.
Liberator and mirage: are you down with this One World Paradise that the author speaks of? Both of you are using diversity propaganda as a method of countering Muslim immigration and, to be honest, it makes you come off as even bigger jerks than you already are.
If Islam is so evil, why did your joos survive and even thrive in it for 1,300 years, and only now are telling us white folks - and I don't include you in this group - how bad Islam is so we will fight their tribal wars for them.
Because they forgot. They meant to tell us but they didn't get around to it until the late 1980's/early 1990's. What with having to get the Federal Reserve up and going AND trying to take Palestine away from the locals, their plate was full.
I do my own research and come to my own conclusions.
With all the apologetics for Islam being thrown about, I still can't find an answer for why these "misunderstanders" of the Religion of Peace all seem to "misunderstand" Islam in exactly the same way.
Try as I might, I cannot find an answer to that. Either it is a Religion of Peace and all Muslims are happy little folks frolicking their way through life or there is something about it that creates nutcases who scream "Allah Ackbar" while shooting up military bases in Texas or passing out candy while cheering the World Trade Center coming down.
Most of the conflicts on the planet involve Muslims in one form or another. This is not a disputable statement.
Muslims commit "honor killings" on a seemingly regular basis and in a number of countries, apostacizing from the official religion carries the death penalty.
In Australia, the Lebanese immigrants have been on a tear. Cronulla Beach riots and rapings oh my. For some reason, it wasn't Lebanese Christians out telling women they can't wear bikinis. If you can work that one out so it wasn't Lebanese Muslims (which it was) then let me know.
As for specfically WHY it happens to be that Muslims, and in particlar, Arabized Muslims do this stuff, I haven't got an answer as of yet. Bad culture perhaps? Not being slapped silly as a kid by mommy? Being forced to memorize the Koran by age 5 and not having any other books around? I honestly don't know ... yet.
But I will leave you with a quote.
"There is no fun in Islam." - Ayatollah Khomeini
COMRADE! Why are you not showing your Party affiliation and showing proper respect for Dear Leader? Put your Barackstika armband on RIGHT NOW!
Jews say Abraham was a Jew. Neat trick considering Judaism didn't exist in his day.
Well then we have a conflict. Can Abraham be both a Jew and a Muslim at the same time?
Muslims will tell you that the Christians and the Jews have corrupted their scriptures and that's why they are wrong and Abraham was a Muslim.
If you really want to have some fun, did Abraham offer Ishmael or Issac? The Bible says it was Isaac. Islam says it was Ishmael.
For bonus points, the Koran challenges unbelievers to write a Sura just as good as those in the Koran. That challenge is not recommended as those who have done so in the past have met some violence done to their person.
COMRADE! Why are you not showing your Party affiliation and showing proper respect for Dear Leader? Put your Barackstika armband on RIGHT NOW!
I'm not defending Islam. I also don't have a fight with Islam. If Muslims in America gain the kind of political and economic clout that Jews have, then I'll probably have a fight with Islam.
I trust you're aware that political Jews always hold the gates open for the invaders while they pretend to be opposed to them? Re: American immigration law and Jewish efforts through the 20th century to keep our immigration laws lax, some things never change.
