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.

GFY, joobat
Lying SOS. 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.... "Religion of Peace." Bwaaahaa!!!!
"All non-Muslims are required to pay the protection tax. Have you paid recently?" Well...HAVE YOU??
There are 1.4 billion Muslims on the Earth. You've taken a census? You've even met three of them?
I pay lots of taxes, joobat. None to Mooslums. So GFY.
Thanks for the human virus count. 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.
None to Mooslums. Color me surprised (or blue); I thought you were posting from Islam-Central as a brainwashed dhimmi.
Lying SOS
Your joos chose to be dhimmis for 1,300 years, joobat. What's not to like? Paying taxes?
Exactly.
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.

It's obvious that you're the first to absolve Jews. BTW, you have some brown stuff on your nose.... One cannot not support Islam and be pro-America, yet the converse of supporting both Israel and America IS true. Oops. More brown stuff.
So you just use this fool's propaganda...why?
Wisdom.
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.
He doesn't need any defending. Your ass got kicked all over this thread.
Jews say Abraham was a Jew. Neat trick considering Judaism didn't exist in his day.
LOL squared!
Which fool are you referring to? 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!
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.
All of that sounds dreadful. So where are the Muslims in the American government that are going to foist this all on you?
Long after his death, rebbe’s words resound among Washington’s elite
Watch world events. It seems that when Muslims become a certain percentage of the population, they start demanding Sharia. Given how we here in the West value giving people The Vote, all we have to do is wait. It will come. So, I'm going back and re-reading the Koran and Hadiths to work out a bunch of this stuff. You know the drill, answering questions and all that. It turns out that they can't have a reformation. Long ago they decided that the only people who were fit to interpret the Koran were those who were compatriots of Mohammed and a few other folks who led exceptional lives. The gotcha is that there hasn't been one of those in about a thousand years. So, when reading about Islam, you end up with commentaries based on commentaries as the only 'official' commentaries are those from a thousand years ago. Its a failing in the religion; it keeps itself mired in the middle ages as a result. Then there is the principle of Abrogation. Verses in the Koran are negated by other verses depending on when they were revealed by the Prophet. There is a gotcha there; the way the Koran is organized, it is not chronological so you need to split out the Meccan and Medinian suras and then look for what would abrogate what. Once you've done that, you can drop out more than half of the Meccan suras. It is a very confusing religion to say the least.

Two things for you. I have more if you like: 1. Pentagon 9-11 Memorial Chapel Hosts Historic Torah Dedication: http://www.jewsingreen.com/home/blog/comments/pentagon_torah/ This would be wise, but the worldviews diverged quite some time ago. Understanding the difference between 'Dar al Islam' and 'Dar al Harb' and what it means to Muslims is something both the US and the Israelis need to do. If the two countries truly understood what those two terms meant and how they call for Holy Jihad (and not just regular jihad) then they would know there will be no peace so long as Israel exists.

And whether you realize or not, the rise in immigration of Muslims to Europe and the US is a direct result of Jewish activism during the 20th century. Cultural Jews want Muslims to supplant Christianity. The best way to do it is to break America over the heads of the Muslim world. The Muslim world will survive. America won't. At the end of it all, as with every colonial venture, the aggressors (America) will be taken over by the aggressed.
This time it appears to be backfiring most magnificently as currently, the Muslims have a score to settle and don't particularly care which Jews they take out their vengeance on. We can look forward to more Temple, Yeshiva, and Jewish Center bombings and shootings as the Arab Muslim population grows. We can also look forward to more terror cells and recruiting like the lovely Somalis in Minneapolis just got picked up for. Yes, that will backfire quite nicely.
COMRADE! Why are you not showing your Party affiliation and showing proper respect for Dear Leader? Put your Barackstika armband on RIGHT NOW!
Nor should there be. Drive them into the sea.
Is that why the Jews of Iran are leaving in huge numbers? We can look forward to more Temple, Yeshiva, and Jewish Center bombings and shootings as the Arab Muslim population grows. Why is that a problem?
That's pretty cold-blooded. How about just settling for leaving them alone? The Israelis have proven capable of taking care of their own matters. Just leave them alone and stay out of it entirely. If they can hold the land, they can keep it. If not, perhaps your sentiments will be on the nightly news.
COMRADE! Why are you not showing your Party affiliation and showing proper respect for Dear Leader? Put your Barackstika armband on RIGHT NOW!
As long as they're living off the tit of America, you mean.
Iran is an interesting case. The 1979 revolution drove a huge number of them out UNTIL Ayatollah Khomeini issued a fatwa decreeing they were to be protected. The number of Jews in Iran is much smaller now than before the revolution, is the largest number in any Islamic country, and still numbers less than 25000. There aren't "huge numbers" of Jews to leave Iran even if all of them packed up and left.
COMRADE! Why are you not showing your Party affiliation and showing proper respect for Dear Leader? Put your Barackstika armband on RIGHT NOW!
Cut the umbilical. Leave them alone to take care of their own matters themselves.
COMRADE! Why are you not showing your Party affiliation and showing proper respect for Dear Leader? Put your Barackstika armband on RIGHT NOW!
But none of them are leaving and they're still protected. It kind of blows the whole "Muslims are killing Jews!" schtick out of the water.
Israel would die in two seconds without Uncle Samuel.
