Jihad

I quote from Islam's canon of Sharia, adding links to the Qur'an citations. I also added links to the ahadith quoted so that you can verify them as well. Reliance of the Traveler is Islam's legal handbook, sanctioned by Al-Azhar. You can verify that at Wikipedia.

I have added emphasis & hyperlinks; I have not otherwise altered the quotes. The quotes you are about to read are Islamic law, based on Moe's recitation & sunnah. If there is any doubt in your mind, visit The Risala of 'Abdullah ibn Abi Zayd al-Qayrawani (310/922 - 386/996) A Treatise on Maliki Fiqh .

Do not blindly take my word for this. Click the links I have provided and verify what I have written. Reliance is one large text file, use the Ctrl F search function to locate the quotes.


What is Jihad? Is it 'holy war'? Is it an internal contest against ego & tempation? The root word is strive. In Hilali & Khan's tranlation of the Qur'an, you will find this expression frequently used: "strive hard and fight". Lets see how it is defined in Sharia.

The Reliance of the Traveller. Version 1.06 - By Ahmad Ibn Naqib Al-Misri
BOOK O: JUSTICE >> Chapter O-9.0: Jihad


Chapter O-9.0: Jihad
(O: Jihad means to war against non-Muslims, and is etymologically derived from the word mujahada signifying warfare to establish the religion. And it is the lesser jihad. As for the greater jihad, it is spiritual warfare against the lower self (nafs), which is why the Prophet (Allah bless him and give him peace) said as he was returning from jihad.
``We have returned from the lesser jihad to the greater jihad.''
The scriptural basis for jihad, prior to scholarly consensus (def: b-7) is such Koranic verses as:
1- ``Fighting is prescribed for you'' (Koran 2:216);
2- ``Slay them wherever you find them'' (Koran 4:89);
3- ``Fight the idolators utterly'' (Koran 9:36);
and such hadiths as the one related by Bukhari and Muslim that the Prophet (Allah bless him and give him peace) said:
``I have been commanded to fight people until they testify that there is no god but Allah and that Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah, and perform the prayer, and pay zakat. If they say it, they have saved their blood and possessions from me, except for the rights of Islam over them. And their final reckoning is with Allah'';

and the hadith reported by Muslim,
``To go forth in the morning or evening to fight in the path of Allah is better than the whole world and everything in it.''

Details concerning jihad are found in the accounts of the military expeditions of the Prophet (Allah bless him and give him peace), including his own martial forays and those on which he dispatched others. The former consist of the ones he personally attended, some twenty-seven (others say twenty-nine) of them. He fought in eight of them, and killed only one person with his noble hand, Ubayy ibn Khalaf, at the battle of Uhud. On the latter expeditions he sent others to fight, himself remaining at Medina, and these were forty-seven in number.)

Al Misri overlooked 8:39, 9:29, 9:123 & 47:4 in that explanation. To those who would deny the clear and obvious meaning of the cited ayat, I answer with Ibn Kathir's scholarly exegeses, which includes the ayat and relevant hadith. The tafsir titles alone should be sufficient to clue you in. Click them and read the entire text, ignoring the Arabic, which is translated in the text.

What is the practical application of Al-Anfal 39, Al-Taubah 29 and the hadith which confirm them?

The Reliance of the Traveller. Version 1.06 - By Ahmad Ibn Naqib Al-Misri
BOOK O: JUSTICE >> Chapter O-9.0: Jihad


O-9.8: The Objectives of Jihad
The caliph (o-25) makes war upon Jews, Christians, and Zoroastrians (N: provided he has first invited them to enter Islam in faith and practice, and if they will not, then invited them to enter the social order of Islam by paying the non-Muslim poll tax (jizya, def: o-11.4) -which is the significance of their paying it, not the money itself-while remaining in their ancestral religions) (O: and the war continues) until they become Muslim or else pay the non-Muslim poll tax (O: in accordance with the word of Allah Most High,
"Fight those who do not believe in Allah and the Last Day and who forbid not what Allah and His messenger have forbidden-who do not practice the religion of truth, being of those who have been given the Book-until they pay the poll tax out of hand and are humbled" (Koran 9.29),
the time and place for which is before the final descent of Jesus (upon whom be peace). After his final coming, nothing but Islam will be accepted from them, for taking the poll tax is only effective until Jesus' descent (upon him and our Prophet be peace), which is the divinely revealed law of Muhammad. The coming of Jesus does not entail a separate divinely revealed law, for he will rule by the law of Muhammad. As for the Prophet's saying (Allah bless him and give him peace),
"I am the last, there will be no prophet after me,"
this does not contradict the final coming of Jesus (upon whom be peace), since he will not rule according to the Evangel, but as a follower of our Prophet (Allah bless him and give him peace) ).


O-9.9
The caliph fights all other peoples until they become Muslim (O: because they are not a people with a Book, nor honored as such, and are not permitted to settle with paying the poll tax (jizya) ) (n: though according to the Hanafi school, peoples of all other religions, even idol worshippers, are permitted to live under the protection of the Islamic state if they either become Muslim or agree to pay the poll tax, the sole exceptions to which are apostates from Islam and idol worshippers who are Arabs, neither of whom has any choice but becoming Muslim (al-Hidaya sharh Bidaya al-mubtadi' (y-21), 6.48-49) ).

How frequently does the Caliph attack Kuffar?

@O9.1: The Obligatory Character of Jihad

Jihad is a communal obligation (def: c3.2). When enough people perform it to successfully accomplish it, it is no longer obligatory upon others (O: the evidence for which is the Prophet's saying (Allah bless him and give him peace),

"He who provides the equipment for a soldier in jihad has himself performed jihad,"

and Allah Most High having said:

"Those of the believers who are unhurt but sit behind are not equal to those who fight in Allah's path with their property and lives. Allah has preferred those who fight with their property and lives a whole degree above those who sit behind. And to each, Allah has promised great good" (Koran 4:95).

If none of those concerned perform jihad, and it does not happen at all, then everyone who is aware that it is obligatory is guilty of sin, if there was a possibility of having performed it. In the time of the Prophet (Allah bless him and give him peace) jihad was a communal obligation after his emigration (hijra) to Medina. As for subsequent times, there are two possible states in respect to non-Muslims.

The first is when they are in their own countries, in which case jihad (def: o9.8) is a communal obligation, and this is what our author is speaking of when he says, "Jihad is a communal obligation," meaning upon the Muslims each year.

The Caliph makes war upon Kuffar because it is Allah's command expressed in 8:39 & 9:29. That is Islamic law because Allah commanded and Muhammad exemplified it. See the Tafsir topics including the word order from the list provided above.

If you doubt that Muhammad exemplified obedience to those commands, then turn to Riyad-us-Salaheen Book 11, Chapter 234 : Obligation of Jihad.



Underlined bold blue text in this post is hyperlinked to authentic translations of Islamic texts. Click those links and verify what I have written. The Koran and hadith links will give you direct access to the specific verses and indirect access to the entire Koran and four major hadith collections.

Jihad is not about talking down your woody, its about rape, pillage, plunder, terror & genocide. Islam is not peaceful, it is extremely violent, not by distortion or perversion, but by design. Now that you know you've been lied to by Muslims, Presidents, Prime Ministers, academics and the media, what are you going to do about it? Will you go back to sleep or will you share your new found knowledge with others less informed?

If you love truth, if you love freedom; if you want your children & grandchildren to live in peace, prosperity & freedom, then you will immediately copy this blog post, paste it into an email, and send it to all your associates, friends and relatives.

Obamination!!

WTOL 11, a CBS affiliate in Toledo, reports an interview with Senator Obama on their web site.
Obama has pledged to give a speech in a "major Islamic forum" to "redefine our struggle" against fundamentalism within his first 100 days in office. Aides have said the speech would take place in an unspecified Muslim-majority country. Asked what form the redefinition would take, Obama differed little from standard Bush rhetoric on the subject, saying he would "make it clear that the United States is not at war with Islam . . . [and] stands ready to support those who reject violence with closer security cooperation . . . [and] increased foreign assistance."
What is Islam if not 'fundamentalism' ? When Islam renovates itself every hundred years, what will it turn to if not the documents which constitute its foundation?

"Our struggle" is against fundamentalism? No! Our self defense effort must be targeted at the source; the damnable doctrines which motivate Muslims to murder, rape, pillage, plunder & cast terror. Those damnable doctrines are an intrinsic part of the core of Islam; they can not be severed from it.

If we don't stop men from maintaining & propagating the belief that they are under an interminable mandate to conquer & subjugate us, this war will not end without our death or enslavement. Either we sever Muslims from their belief system or we sever them from the surface of the earth. There are no acceptable alternatives. Surrender is not an option. Perpetual warfare is not an option.

Obama's promised speech will "make it clear that the United States is not at war with Islam". This alone is sufficient to disqualify Obama from high office. No Goddamn fool should be in the Senate, much less the White House. Islam is at war against us. We must reciprocate. If we do not prosecute war against the source of attack against us, we will surely be defeated and lose our lives, liberties & property.

Islam is at war against us. War against Jews & Christians was declared by Moe, in Allah's name, subsequent to the Hegira and previous to Moe's death in 632. Observe Rodwell's translation of the declaration. [Emphasis added.]

Make war upon such of those to whom the Scriptures have been given as believe not in God, or in the last day, and who forbid not that which God and His Apostle have forbidden, and who profess not the profession of the truth, until they pay tribute out of hand, and they be humbled.


Moe confirmed that declaration of war.
Sahih Bukhari Volume 1, Book 8, Number 387:
Narrated Anas bin Malik:
Allah's Apostle said, "I have been ordered to fight the people till they say: 'None has the right to be worshipped but Allah.' And if they say so, pray like our prayers, face our Qibla and slaughter as we slaughter, then their blood and property will be sacred to us and we will not interfere with them except legally and their reckoning will be with Allah." [...]

Islamic law confirmed that declaration.

One must go on jihad (i.e. warlike razzias or raids) at least once a year […] one may use a catapult against them [non-Muslims] when they are in a fortress, even if among them are women and children. [ al-Ghazali, d. 1111, shafi’i, sufi. Kitab al-Wagiz fi fiqh madhab al-imam al-Safi’i (Beirut 1979), s. 186, 190-1, 199-200, 202-3, övers. Michael Schub.] Quoted by Dr. Andrew Bostom.



The destruction of the sword is incurred by infidels, although they be not the first aggressors, as appears from various passages in the traditions which are generally received to this effect. […] When the Muslims enter the enemy’s country and besiege the cities or strongholds of the infidels, it is necessary to invite them to embrace the faith, because Ibn Abbas relates of the Prophet that he never destroyed any without previously inviting them to embrace the faith. If, therefore, they embrace the faith, it is unnecessary to war with them, because that which was the design of the war is then obtained without war. […] If the infidels, upon receiving the call, neither consent to it nor agree to pay capitation tax, it is then incumbent on the Muslims to call upon God for assistance, and to make war upon them […] [ Sheikh Burhanuddin Ali of Marghinan, d. 1196, hanafi. The Hidayah, cit. ur T.P. Hughes, A Dictionary of Islam (London 1895/1994), s. 244-5.]


Since lawful warfare is essentially jihad and since its aim is that the religion is God’s entirely and God’s word is uppermost,[Bukhari 4.53.355] therefore, according to all Muslims, those who stand in the way of this aim must be fought. As for those who cannot offer resistance or cannot fight, such as women, children, monks, old people, the blind, handicapped, and their likes, they shall not be killed, unless they actually fight with words [i.e. by propaganda] and acts [e.g. by spying or otherwise assisting in the warfare]. […] we may only fight those who fight us when we want to make God’s religion victorious. […]

This jihad is obligatory if it is carried out on our intitiative and also if it is waged as defence. If we take the initiative, it is a collective duty, [which means that] if it is fulfilled by a sufficient number [of Muslims], the obligation lapses for all others and the merit goes to those who have fulfilled it […] But if the enemy wants to attack the Muslims, then repelling him becomes a duty for all those under attack and for the others in order to help them.

So the latter [form of jihad] consists in defense of the religion, of things that are inviolable, and of lives. Therefore it is fighting out of necessity. The former, however, is voluntary fighting in order to propagate the religion, to make it triumph and to intimidate the enemy, such as was the case with the expedition to Tabuk and the like. [ Ibn Taymiyya, d. 1328, hanbali. Al-Siyasa al-Shariyya, cit. ur Rudolph Peters, Jihad in Classical and Modern Islam, s. 44-54.]


Ibn Kathir's Tafsir confirms the declaration of war and its eventual outcome:
[The United States] " stands ready to support those who reject violence with closer security cooperation . . . [and] increased foreign assistance"
To reject violence, Muslims must reject Islam; they must cease being Muslims. . Violence is intrinsic to Islam, whose demon commands them to fight pagans until only Allah is worshiped; "people of the book" until they pay extortion in a state of subjugation. Those commands are confirmed by Muhammad's Sunnah, Fiqh & Tafsir. Jihad is ordained for Muslims. Participation in Jihad is essential to a Muslim's salvation from Hellfire [61:10...13].

Vocal denial is not sufficient; it is impossible to trust a Muslim because he is given license to deceive Kuffar for self protection and the advancement of Islam. That deception tactic is called al-Taqeyya.

He has pledged to [...] spend $2 billion on education to counter fundamentalist Islamic madrassas in countries such as Pakistan.
How does Obama hope to stop madrassas from inculcating Allah's damnable commands? Reading, math & science instruction will only supplement, not supplant study of Moe's revelation, example & Sharia. We can not stop Jihad by throwing money down the toilet.

If President Obama would end the war by surrendering & submitting to Islam, the time for revealing his grand plan is now, before the election, so that we can make an informed choice and reject him. If he thinks that there is some possibility of obtaining & maintaining peace and security without eliminating Islam from the face of the earth, now is the time for him to inform us so that we can reject him. If he lacks the spinal fortitude required to effectively wage war against Islam on both fronts (military & ideological) this is the time to inform us so that we can reject him.

The same goes for all aspirants to high office. I therefore renew my challenge to the candidates. Now I must challenge you, the reader. You know, by evidence from Islam's canon of scripture, tradition & jurisprudence, that Islam is a war machine, neither a religion nor peaceful. You know that it has declared and is prosecuting unremitting war against us. You know that it will not cease from attacking until it succeeds or is exterminated. What are you going to do about it?

Will you sit on this knowledge or will you share it with others? Will you ignore this knowledge, or will you take due notice and vote against any candidate who expresses admiration or respect for Islam or refuses to denounce it?

If you love life & liberty, you will not hesitate, but will take the following actions:
  1. Copy this blog post and insert it into an email; send it to all your friends and relatives.
  2. Send this url to the campaign headquarters of your favorite candidate for high office and demand a response: http://www.anewtone.com/2008/03/challenge-to-candidates.html .

Face The Facts!!!

Our leader's blathering about "extremism" & "radicalism" is unmitigated excrement. What they label extreme is the standard of Islam. Most people do not know what is in Islam's canon of scripture & tradition, nor would they understand it if they did.

The terrible facts are exposed in documents published by the Muslim Student Assn., Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, and numerous Islamic organizations.

We are told that offensive Jihad is an insignificant artifact of "extremism". Muslims are told something else, in every Goddamn Mosque, Masjid & Madrassa.

190. And fight in the Way of Allâh[1] those who fight you, but transgress not the limits. Truly, Allâh likes not the transgressors. [This Verse is the first one that was revealed in connection with Jihâd, but it was supplemented by another (9:36)].


[1] (V.2:190) Al-Jihâd (holy fighting) in Allâh’s Cause (with full force of numbers and weaponry) is given the utmost importance in Islâm and is one of its pillar (on which it stands). By Jihâd Islâm is established, Allâh’s Word is made superior, (His Word being Lâ ilaha illallâh which means none has the right to be worshipped but Allâh), and His Religion (Islâm) is propagated. By abandoning Jihâd (may Allâh protect us from that) Islâm is destroyed and the Muslims fall into an inferior position; their honour is lost, their lands are stolen, their rule and authority vanish. Jihâd is an obligatory duty in Islâm on every Muslim, and he who tries to escape from this duty, or does not in his innermost heart wish to fulfil this duty, dies with one of the qualities of a hypocrite.
Narrated ‘Abdullâh bin Mas‘ûd رضي الله عنه: I asked Allâh’s Messenger صلى الله عليه وسلم "O Allâh’s Messenger! What is the best deed?" He replied, "To offer the Salât (prayers) at their early fixed stated times." I asked, "What is next in goodness?" He replied, "To be good and dutiful to your parents." I further asked, "What is next in goodness?" He replied, "To participate in Jihâd in Allâh’s Cause." I did not ask Allâh’s Messenger صلى الله عليه وسلم anymore and if I had asked him more, he would have told me more. (Sahih Al-Bukhâri, Vol.4, Hadîth No.41).
The material in brackets & parenthesis was provided by the translators to clarify the scripture. It is derived from various tafsir [exegis]. 2:190 refers to defensive Jihad, but take close look at the translator's footnote on this ayat. Since its length and detail exceed your attention span, I will excerpt the most vital clauses.
  • [Jihad is ] given the utmost importance in Islâm and is one of its pillar
  • By Jihâd
    • Islâm is established
    • Allâh’s Word is made superior
    • His Religion (Islâm) is propagated
  • By abandoning Jihâd
    • Islâm is destroyed
    • the Muslims fall into an inferior position
    • their honour is lost
    • their lands are stolen
    • their rule and authority vanish
  • Jihâd is an obligatory duty in Islâm on every Muslim
Where did they get those ideas about abandoning Jihad? I linked it to an ahadith which makes the matter crystal clear. Doubting that you will follow up, I quote it in full.
Abu Dawud Book 23, Number 3455:

Narrated Abdullah ibn Umar:

I heard the Apostle of Allah, (peace_be_upon_him) say: When you enter into the inah transaction, hold the tails of oxen, are pleased with agriculture, and give up conducting jihad (struggle in the way of Allah). Allah will make disgrace prevail over you, and will not withdraw it until you return to your original religion.

I added emphasis to the font to make the critical phrases stand out and catch your attention. Trade Jihad for farming, and Allah will curse you. There can be no doubt of the meaning of this Islamic tradition.

Lest you doubt that offensive Jihad is the standard of Islam, not a deviation, I will quote the ayat which sanctify it.
2:216. Jihâd [1] (holy fighting in Allâh’s cause) is ordained for you (Muslims) though you dislike it, and it may be that you dislike a thing which is good for you and that you like a thing which is bad for you. Allâh knows but you do not know.
8:39. And fight them until there is no more Fitnah (disbelief and polytheism, i.e. worshipping others besides Allâh) and the religion (worship) will all be for Allâh Alone [in the whole of the world[1]]. But if they cease (worshipping others besides Allâh), then certainly, Allâh is All-Seer of what they do.[2]
9:29. Fight against those who (1) believe not in Allâh, (2) nor in the Last Day, (3) nor forbid that which has been forbidden by Allâh and His Messenger Muhammad (صلى الله عليه وسلم) (4) and those who acknowledge not the religion of truth (i.e. Islâm) among the people of the Scripture (Jews and Christians), until they pay the Jizyah [2] with willing submission, and feel themselves subdued.
8:65. O Prophet (Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم)! Urge the believers to fight. If there are twenty steadfast persons amongst you, they will overcome two hundreds, and if there be a hundred steadfast persons they will overcome a thousand of those who disbelieve, because they (the disbelievers) are people who do not understand.
What did Muhammad say outside the Mosque, when he was not revealing new messages from Satan?
Sahih Bukhari Volume 1, Book 8, Number 387:
Narrated Anas bin Malik:
Allah's Apostle said, "I have been ordered to fight the people till they say: 'None has the right to be worshipped but Allah.' And if they say so, pray like our prayers, face our Qibla and slaughter as we slaughter, then their blood and property will be sacred to us and we will not interfere with them except legally and their reckoning will be with Allah." Narrated Maimun ibn Siyah that he asked Anas bin Malik, "O Abu Hamza! What makes the life and property of a person sacred?" He replied, "Whoever says, 'None has the right to be worshipped but Allah', faces our Qibla during the prayers, prays like us and eats our slaughtered animal, then he is a Muslim, and has got the same rights and obligations as other Muslims have."
Your blood & property are not sacred to Muslims until you become a Muslim. Open season is declared on you! There is no bag limit. The Muslim must only give 20% off the top to Moe or his Caliph.
And know that whatever of war-booty that you may gain, verily one-fifth (1/5th) of it is assigned to Allâh, and to the Messenger,...
But I'm a liar, one who distorts, perverts & mis-translates Islamic scripture. Yeah, right. Ibn Kathir, the greatest of Koranic exegetes, mis-translated, misinterpreted distorted & perverted Islam.
And Al-Misri, who compiled the all purpose go to handbook of Islamic law: Reliance of the Traveler, misinterpreted & distorted Allah's commands, too.

That text comes from a search of Reliance of the Traveler, using Al Muhaddith's search engine I can't link to the search results, but I did link to a plain text file containing the same information.

Islamic law mandates making war upon Jews & Christians and all other peoples. Somewhat ambiguous; can we get a clarification?

One must go on jihad (i.e. warlike razzias or raids) at least once a year […] one may use a catapult against them [non-Muslims] when they are in a fortress, even if among them are women and children.
al-Ghazali, d. 1111, shafi’i, sufi. Kitab al-Wagiz fi fiqh madhab al-imam al-Safi’i (Beirut 1979), s. 186, 190-1, 199-200, 202-3, övers. Michael Schub.

al-Ghazali was a Sufi, and Sufi are supposed to be spiritually oriented, mystical & peaceful. Perhaps we need to consult a Sunni.
Al-Shafi'i (God have mercy on him) said: "The least that the imam must do is that he allow no year to pass without having organised a military expedition by himself, or by his raiding parties, according to the Muslims' interest, so that the jihad will only be stopped in a year for a (reasonable) excuse." He said: "If he did not undertake the sending of enough troops to fight, those who are absent (must) go out, and consider as an obligation that which God (who is praised) said."
Sufi & Sunni Agree: the Caliph must attack us at least once each year. It's a requirement of Islamic law, not a deviation from standard Islam.

But terrorism; surely it must be haram. Allah could not sanction that, could he? Only damn fools believe that!
3:151. We shall cast terror into the hearts of those who disbelieve, because they joined others in worship with Allâh, for which He had sent no authority; their abode will be the Fire and how evil is the abode of the Zâlimûn (polytheists and wrong-doers).
8:12. (Remember) when your Lord revealed to the angels, "Verily, I am with you, so keep firm those who have believed. I will cast terror into the hearts of those who have disbelieved, so strike them over the necks, and smite over all their fingers and toes."

13. This is because they defied and disobeyed Allâh and His Messenger. And whoever defies and disobeys Allâh and His Messenger, then verily, Allâh is Severe in punishment.

14. This is (the torment), so taste it; and surely for the disbelievers is the torment of the Fire.
But surely that must be allegory, not something they'd ever perform. Yeah, right.
33:26. And those of the people of the Scripture who backed them (the disbelievers), Allâh brought them down from their forts and cast terror into their hearts, (so that) a group (of them) you killed, and a group (of them) you made captives.

27. And He caused you to inherit their lands, and their houses, and their riches, and a land which you had not trodden (before). And Allâh is Able to do all things.
Is this confirmed?
. Allah made me victorious by awe, (by His frightening my enemies) for a distance of one month's journey.
Bukhari Volume 4, Book 52, Number 220:
Narrated Abu Huraira:

Allah's Apostle said, "I have been sent with the shortest expressions bearing the widest meanings, and I have been made victorious with terror (cast in the hearts of the enemy), and while I was sleeping, the keys of the treasures of the world were brought to me and put in my hand." Abu Huraira added: Allah's Apostle has left the world and now you, people, are bringing out those treasures (i.e. the Prophet did not benefit by them).
Now you know that the elected leaders of Western Civilization are damned liars, who chant "peace, peace" where there is no peace and declare the enemy of all mankind to be our steadfast ally. What are you going to do with this new found knowledge? Will you conceal it, keep it private, shove it to the back of your mind and forget it? Or will you join me in sharing it? The choice is yours. If you want your children & grand children to live in peace, prosperity & freedom, you will join me in propagating knowledge of the evil which seeks to subjugate them. If you give a blessing, you will latch onto this issue like a pit bull and shake it in the world's face until they take due notice and govern themselves accordingly.

I exhort you to sign the on line petitions listed below. Then email this post to all your contacts, asking them to follow suit.
  1. Congress Debate Koran
  2. Outlaw Islam! Amend the U. S. Constitution to exclude Islam from the definition of religion. Copy the blog post with the petition text, signature link, and links to the evidence presented. Paste it into an email and broadcast it widely!!
  3. Ban Islam , written & posted by a Canadian Crusader, this petition asks the World Court to ban Islam. In a few weeks, this petition has garnered 334 signatures, many from Europeans. Please sign this petition, copy it, paste it into an email & send it to everyone in your address book. Ask the recipients to pass it on.
  4. Muhammad, A Symbol Of Terrorism Syed Jamaluddin obviously put a great deal of time and effort into creating this excellent petition which lays out the critical evidence against Moe's damnable murder cult. It should have 80 million signatures, not just 80!!! In adition to the ayat & ahadith I use, Syed quotes Ishak & Tabari, laying bare the evil which is the core of Islam.

The Hiatus

I generally do not post frequently. When the Muse pokes me with her magic wand or some evil or idiocy provokes me I post. A change in the software caught me unawares, and left me unable to to gain access to my blogs. Some times things come slowly to old farts; it took a while to figure out how to get back in.

In the mean time, other participants at the Victory Caucus forum asked me to contribute to their blogs. The result was a 14 part series titled Know Thine Enemy followed by a continuing series which presents an egregious ayat & links to it in Ibn Kathir's Tafsir. Here is a sample:

Myth Fact
Islam: Religion of peace. 3:160 If Allâh helps you, none can overcome you; and if He forsakes you, who is there after Him that can help you? And in Allâh (Alone) let believers put their trust.
Tafsir: 1 2

I have retained the html source for both series and will be happy to provide it to other bloggers.

There is more than one way to expose evil. It can be done directly, with its own scripture, as I have done, or indirectly, in prose, poetry or drama. Today I was informed of a simple script which features three Muslims: 'moderate', 'mainstream' & 'radical' who have candid discussions of Islamic law & practice. It was published at Political Mafioso, by Tony GOPrano. HJS may not make it to Broadway, but his dialog is consistent with Islam's canon of scripture, and entertaining enough to keep me reading.

Open Letter to Keith Ellison, Member of Congress

Dear Congressman Ellison,

The Detroit Free Press informs us that you claimed that President Jefferson's possession of a Qur'an shows "that from the earliest times of this republic, the Koran was in the consciousness of people who brought about democracy."

Our Declaration of Independence, written by Jefferson, speaks to the founder's belief "that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness. — That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed".

What does Jefferson's beloved Qur'an say about human equality, dignity and rights? [George Sale's translation, the same version used by Jefferson.]
98:6 Verily those who believe not, among those who have received the scriptures, and among the idolaters, [shall be cast] into the fire of hell, to remain therein [for ever]. These are the worst of creatures.
Jews and Christians who do not accept Islam are "the worst of creatures". And what are Muslims to do to them?
9:29 Fight against them who believe not in God, nor in the last day, and forbid not that which God and his apostle have forbidden, and profess not the true religion, of those unto whom the scriptures have been delivered, until they pay tribute by right of subjection, and they be reduced low.
How did Muhammad interpret that command?
Sahih Bukhari Volume 1, Book 8, Number 387: Narrated Anas bin Malik: Allah's Apostle said, "I have been ordered to fight the people till they say: 'None has the right to be worshipped but Allah.' And if they say so, pray like our prayers, face our Qibla and slaughter as we slaughter, then their blood and property will be sacred to us and we will not interfere with them except legally and their reckoning will be with Allah." Narrated Maimun ibn Siyah that he asked Anas bin Malik, "O Abu Hamza! What makes the life and property of a person sacred?" He replied, "Whoever says, 'None has the right to be worshipped but Allah', faces our Qibla during the prayers, prays like us and eats our slaughtered animal, then he is a Muslim, and has got the same rights and obligations as other Muslims have."
Our blood and property are not sacred to Muslims until we submit. We are targets of open season. Were those mere lofty words, or were they backed up with actions on the ground?
33:26 And he hath caused such of those who have received the scriptures, as assisted [the confederates], to come down out of their fortresses, and he cast into their hearts terror [and dismay]: A part [of them] ye slew, and a part ye made captives;
33:27 and [God] hath caused you to inherit their land, and their houses, and their wealth, and a land on which ye have not trodden; for God is almighty.
Islam demands imposition of Sharia: Allah's law, not man made law. No man made law can supercede Allah's law.
33:36 It is not [fit] for a true believer of either sex, when God and his apostle have decreed a thing, that they should have the liverty of choosing a [different] matter of their own: And whoever is disobedient unto God and his apostle, surely erreth with a manifest error.
For example, Allah allows a Muslim to beat his wives. [Emphasis added.]
4:34 Men shall have the pre-eminence above women, because of those [advantages] wherein God hath caused the one of them to excel the other, and for that which they expend of their substance [in maintaining their wives]. The honest women [are] obedient, careful in the absence [of their husbands], for that God preserveth [them, by committing them to the care and protection of the men]. But those, whose perverseness ye shall be apprehensive of, rebuke; and remove them into separate apartments, and chastise them. But if they shall be obedient unto you, seek not an occasion [of quarrel] against them; for God is high and great.

Why then did you seek a seat in Congress, which creates man made law by consensus, in direct contravention of the requirement of Islam? If you are a lover of peace; if you reject Allah's commands to fight pagans until only allah is worshiped, to fight Jews & Christians until they pay extortion, to cast terror and make a great slaughter then I invite you to endorse and promote the Moderate Muslim Majority Rejecting Terrorism Petition.

Elllison's Oath: Forsworn

Congressman Ellison, our Declaration of Independence records our belief that all men are created equal. Allah said that Muslims are the "best of people." Allah also said that Christians & Jews who do not believe in him are"the worst of creatures". He said "Indignity is put over them wherever they may be, except when under a covenant (of protection) from Allâh, and from men; they have drawn on themselves the Wrath of Allâh, and destruction is put over them."

Congressman Ellison, our common law holds women to be economically and legally equal to men in their rights. Allah said that "Men are the protectors and maintainers of women, because Allâh has made one of them to excel the other, and because they spend (to support them) from their means. Therefore the righteous women are devoutly obedient (to Allâh and to their husbands), and guard in the husband's absence what Allâh orders them to guard (e.g. their chastity, their husband's property, etc.). As to those women on whose part you see
ill­condtut, admonish them (first), (next), refuse to share their beds, (and last)
beat them (lightly, if it is useful), but if they return to obedience, seek not against them means (of annoyance).".

Furthermore, Allah said, in the matter of inheritance "to the male, a portion equal to that of two females" and in the matter of witnessing contracts, he said "And get two witnesses out of your own men. And if there are not two men (available), then a man and two women, such as you agree for witnesses, so that if one of them (two women) errs, the other can remind her.".

Congressman Ellison, Allah commanded Muslims to "fight" Jews and Christians until "until
they pay the Jizyah with willing submission, and feel themselves subdued. "
. Furthermore, he said, concerning disbelievers, "I will cast terror into the hearts of those who have disbelieved, so strike them over the necks, and smite over all their fingers and toes.".

Congressman Ellison, our Constitution declares that "Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion" but Allah says, speaking of Islam, "to make it superior over all religions even though the Mushrikûn
(polytheists, pagans, idolaters, disbelievers in the Oneness of Allâh) hate (it). "
.

Congressman Ellison, did not Allah command Muslims "O you who believe! Obey Allâh, and obey the Messenger (Muhammad) and render not vain your deeds."? Did not the Messenger say "People
are subservient to the Quraish: the Muslims among them being subservient to the Muslims among them, and the disbelievers among the people being subservient to the disbelievers among them."
?
And did not Allah say "And whosoever does not judge by what Allâh has revealed, such are the Kâfirûn (i.e. disbelievers - of a lesser degree as they do not act onAllâh's Laws ). " ? And did not Allah say "
It is not for a believer, man or woman, when Allâh and His Messenger have decreed a matter that they should have any option in their decision. And whoever disobeys Allâh and His Messenger, he has indeed strayed in a plain error. "
?

Are you not then forsworn in your oath of office, being obligated to obey Allah & his Messenger, whose ordinance is in direct contravention of the organic law of our nation? You are obligated to make war on and terrorize Christians and Jews. Our blood and property are sacred to you only after we submit, according to Allah's Messenger Sahih bukhari 1.8.387. Muslims have a divine right to beat their wives. No law can stand in
opposition to Allah's decree. As one forsworn in his oath of office are you not unworthy to take a seat in the House of representatives?

Ahmedinejad: Hell No!!!

President Ahmadinejad of Iran has written a letter to the American people. I have selected the most interesting parts of his missive and will reproduce them here with my comments below, linked by superscripts. Click the superscript to view my comment on that part of the text, then click your back button to return to resume reading the letter. Blue underlined text in my comments is hyper linked to external documents for easy verification and reference.

O, Almighty God, bestow upon humanity the perfect human being promised to all by You, and
make us among his followers1....

And if we did not share a common responsibility to promote and protect freedom and human
dignity and integrity2; Then, there would have been little urgency to have a dialogue with you....

While Divine providence has placed Iran and the United States geographically far apart, we
should be cognizant that human values and our common human spirit, which proclaim the dignity
and exalted worth of all human beings3, have brought our two great nations of Iran and the United
States closer together. Both our nations are God-fearing4, truth loving5 and justice seeking6, and both seek dignity, respect
and perfection.

Both greatly value and readily embrace the promotion of human ideals such as compassion,
empathy, respect for the rights of human beings7, securing justice and equity, and defending the
innocent and the weak8 against oppressors and bullies9. ...

We all deplore injustice, the trampling of peoples' rights and the intimidation and humiliation of
human beings. ...

Our nation has always extended its hand of friendship to all other nations of the world.10 ...

As mentioned, we have common concerns, face similar challenges, and are pained by the
sufferings and afflictions in the world.
We, like you, are aggrieved by the ever-worsening pain and misery of the Palestinian people.11
Persistent aggressions by the Zionists12 are making life more and more difficult for the rightful
owners of the land of Palestine. In broad daylight, in front of cameras and before the eyes of the
world, they are bombarding innocent defenseless civilians, bulldozing houses, firing machine
guns at students in the streets and alleys, and subjecting their families to endless grief.13 ...

No day goes by without a new crime.
Palestinian mothers, just like Iranian and American mothers, love their children, and are painfully
bereaved by the imprisonment, wounding and murder of their children.14 What mother wouldn't?
For 60 years, the Zionist regime has driven millions of the inhabitants of Palestine out of their
homes15. Many of these refugees have died in the Diaspora and in refugee camps. Their children
have spent their youth in these camps and are aging while still in the hope of returning to
homeland. ...

My questions are the following:
Is there not a better approach to governance?16
Is it not possible to put wealth and power in the service of peace, stability, prosperity and the
happiness of all peoples through a commitment to justice and respect for the rights of all nations,
instead of aggression and war?17
We all condemn terrorism18, because its victims are the innocent19.
But, can terrorism be contained and eradicated through war, destruction and the killing of
hundreds of thousands of innocents20?
If that were possible, then why has the problem not been resolved?21
The sad experience of invading Iraq is before us all.
What has blind support22 for the Zionists by the US administration brought for the American
people? It is regrettable that for the US administration, the interests of these occupiers23
supersedes the interests of the American people and of the other nations of the world.
What have the Zionists done for the American people that the US administration considers itself
obliged to blindly support these infamous aggressors24? Is it not because they have imposed
themselves on a substantial portion of the banking, financial, cultural and media sectors?25
I recommend that in a demonstration of respect for the American people and for humanity, the
right of Palestinians to live in their own homeland should be recognized so that millions of
Palestinian refugees can return to their homes and the future of all of Palestine and its form of
government be determined in a referendum26. This will benefit everyone. ...

I'd also like to say a word to the winners of the recent elections in the US :
The United States has had many administrations; some who have left a positive legacy, and
others that are neither remembered fondly by the American people nor by other nations.
Now that you control an important branch of the US Government, you will also be held to account
by the people and by history27. ...

To sum up:
It is possible to govern based on an approach that is distinctly different from one of coercion,
force and injustice.28
It is possible to sincerely serve and promote common human values, and honesty and
compassion.29
It is possible to provide welfare and prosperity without tension, threats, imposition or war.30
It is possible to lead the world towards the aspired perfection by adhering to unity31, monotheism32,
morality and spirituality and drawing upon the teachings of the Divine Prophets.
Then, the American people, who are God-fearing and followers of Divine religions33, will overcome
every difficulty. ...

I am confident that you, the American people, will play an instrumental role in the establishment
of justice and spirituality34 throughout the world. The promises of the Almighty and His prophets will
certainly be realized; Justice and Truth35 will prevail and all nations will live a true life in a climate
replete with love, compassion and fraternity36.
The US governing establishment, the authorities and the powerful should not choose irreversible
paths. As all prophets have taught us, injustice and transgression will eventually bring about
decline and demise37. Today, the path of return to faith and spirituality38 is open and unimpeded.
We should all heed the Divine Word of the Holy Qur'an:
" But those who repent, have faith and do good may receive Salvation. Your Lord, alone, creates
and chooses as He will, and others have no part in His choice; Glorified is God and Exalted
above any partners they ascribe to Him. " (28:67-68)39
I pray to the Almighty to bless the Iranian and American nations and indeed all nations of the
world with dignity and success.
Mahmoud Ahmadinejad
President of the Islamic Republic of Iran
29 November 2006


  1. That is a reference to the Madhi, supposedly a youth who disappeared down a well about 900 years ago. See these sources: Were you thinking Jesus is the Saviour? Muhammad had this to say:
    Sahih Bukhari

    Volume 3, Book 34, Number 425:

    Narrated Abu Huraira:

    Allah's Apostle said, "By Him in Whose Hands my soul is, son of Mary (Jesus) will shortly descend amongst you people (Muslims) as a just ruler and will break the Cross and kill the pig and abolish the Jizya (a tax taken from the non-Muslims, who are in the protection, of the Muslim government). Then there will be abundance of money and no-body will accept charitable gifts.

  2. Make that Muslim dignity & integrity, we Kufar don't have any! We are to be fought , humiliated and subdued.
    • 9:29
    • Sahih Bukhari Volume 1, Book 8, Number 387:

      Narrated Anas bin Malik:

      Allah's Apostle said, "I have been ordered to fight the people till they say: 'None has the right to be worshipped but Allah.' And if they say so, pray like our prayers, face our Qibla and slaughter as we slaughter, then their blood and property will be sacred to us and we will not interfere with them except legally and their reckoning will be with Allah." Narrated Maimun ibn Siyah that he asked Anas bin Malik, "O Abu Hamza! What makes the life and property of a person sacred?" He replied, "Whoever says, 'None has the right to be worshipped but Allah', faces our Qibla during the prayers, prays like us and eats our slaughtered animal, then he is a Muslim, and has got the same rights and obligations as other Muslims have."

  3. Not all; only those who obey Allah and his Messenger!
  4. Allah commands Muslims to fight Jews & Christians until we are subjected and pay extortion 9:29, and to make a great slaughter in the land before ransoming prisoners of war 8:67. Does that describe the God you believe in?
  5. Truth loving? Ahmedinejad denies the holocaust, reverses the role of aggressor & defender and abuses the common meaning of common words.
  6. To Islam, truth means the Qur'an and justice means the its total dominion over the earth without resistance.
  7. Islam considers us to be subhuman so long as we do not submit to it. In some lists of najis things, you will find Kufar listed with dog excrement.
  8. Only Muslims can be considered innocent. Kufar are regarded as rebels against Allah, denying his right to rule. Because you do not accept Islam, you are guilty of fitna, and should be punished by crucifixion and amputation of your left foot and right hand. 5:33
  9. Muhammad was the archtypical oppressor and bully. I refer you to his numerous extortion letters, and his wars & genocide.
  10. Like they extended the helpful hand of friendship in 1979!!!
  11. Palestine is a new name imposed on Israel after an unsuccessful rebellion against Rome. Palestinian means Jew. Innocent victims: the villagers of Sderot, subjected to daily rocket attacks. Occupiers & oppressors: Fallestinians; murdering lie spewing false pretenders to special status; devil take them and their patrons.
  12. Muslims constantly misrepresent truth by reversing the aggressor/defender roles. Israel is the homeland of the Jews, not of Fallestinians. Muhammad hated them because they recognized his Islam as a fabricated fraud which plagiarized and distorted their scripture.
  13. Who attacked whom in May of 1948? Who has been constantly engaged in policide and genocide ever since? If you want to know why, then read the HAMAS Charter and learn! Islam can not tolerate the existence of Israel, because, by overthrowing the last in a long succession of conquering occupiers and ruling over squatting Muslims on land once conquered by Islam; and by winning four wars against overwhelming odds, Israel proves Allah to be an impotent idol.
    Book 041, Number 6985: Abu Huraira reported Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) as saying: The last hour would not come unless the Muslims will fight against the Jews and the Muslims would kill them until the Jews would hide themselves behind a stone or a tree and a stone or a tree would say: Muslim, or the servant of Allah, there is a Jew behind me; come and kill him; but the tree Gharqad would not say, for it is the tree of the Jews.
    8:65. O Prophet (Muhammad )! Urge the believers to fight. If there are twenty steadfast persons amongst you, they will overcome two hundred, and if there be a hundred steadfast persons they will overcome a thousand of those who disbelieve, because they (the disbelievers) are people who do not understand.
    8:66. Now Allâh has lightened your (task), for He knows that there is weakness in you. So if there are of you a hundred steadfast persons, they shall overcome two hundred, and if there are a thousand of you, they shall overcome two thousand with the Leave of Allâh. And Allâh is with As-Sâbirin (the patient ones, etc.).
  14. "Um Nidal (explaining why she sent her son to die): "My son is not dearer than Islam. I have offered him as a gift and a sacrifice to Allah, may he be glorified, and to His true faith..." [Al-Jazeera, July 14, 2002]"
  15. Ever see any mention of the millions of Christians driven out of their homes by Muslims?
  16. He wants to substitute the Qur'an & Hadith for our Constitution. A representative republic, where the citizens elect representatives to make the laws is not allowed by Islam, which demands obedience to Allah's Qur'an and considers man made law to be blasphemous.
  17. What a hypocrite!! He pours billions into building up Hizbollah's arsenal of rockets and small arms while the needs of his population go unmet.
  18. No! No Muslim has ever condemned terrorism; to do so would be blasphemy!
  19. See #8.
  20. Terrorism can be terminated by exterminating Islam. Terrorism will continue so long as Islam exists.
    Abu Dawud Book 14, Number 2526 Narrated Anas ibn Malik: The Prophet (peace_be_upon_him) said: Three things are the roots of faith: to refrain from (killing) a person who utters, "There is no god but Allah" and not to declare him unbeliever whatever sin he commits, and not to excommunicate him from Islam for his any action; and jihad will be performed continuously since the day Allah sent me as a prophet until the day the last member of my community will fight with the Dajjal (Antichrist). The tyranny of any tyrant and the justice of any just (ruler) will not invalidate it. One must have faith in Divine decree.
  21. Conventional warfare can not terminate terrorism. Islam must be made extinct by emancipating Allah's slaves so that there will be no Ummah al-Islamiyya left to continue terrorism.
  22. "Blind support" ? Preventing Israel from achieving complete victory in three wars? Constantly demanding "restraint" & "good will" concessions? Imposing the Road Map to Hell on Israel?
  23. More of the role reversal tactic: Israel is occupied by Muslims!
  24. Refer to #s 12 & 13!
  25. 1938 repeats! Ahmedinejad is trotting out the old canards.
  26. The true Palestinians had their referendum 58 years ago. They restored the state of Israel. The Fallestinians rejected statehood in favor of genocidal terrorism.
  27. That last statement is a veiled threat. Remember the last line in his previous letter? "Peace be upon him who follows the guidance." It is a quote from Muhammad's extortion letters. It means you will be safe if you embrace Islam; attacked if you don't.
  28. But no Muslim kleptocrat will ever try it!
  29. But no Muslim kleptocrat will ever try it!
  30. But no Muslim kleptocrat will ever try it!
  31. By embracing Islam.
  32. By embracing Islam.
  33. If you ain't Muslim, you are Kufar!!! Islam curses Christians & Jews! 9:30.
  34. The triumph of Islam.
  35. The triumph of Islam.
  36. The triumph of Islam.
  37. Look what happened to the Ottoman Empire!
  38. The triumph of Islam!!
  39. Islam denies Christ's crucifixion, death & ressurection. It considers Christ to be an inferior prophet.

The President of Iran is an Islamic deceiver. In this letter, he attempted to fool us into believing that America and Islam share common goals and values. Now you have been invited to embrace Islam. In the previous missive, you were warned. Ahmedinejad, as a self appointed agent of Islam, is now authorized to attack us at a time of his own choosing.

We must reject his deceptive invitation to Islam, which is enslavement to Satan. We must answer with a resounding shout of HELL NO!!! and disrespectfully demand that our government put Iran and Islam in their place and discontinue deceiving us.

In this commentary, I have provided links to the Qur'an & Hadith so that you can read them and discover the truth about Islam. I urge you to follow those links and read, at minimum, Surat 8, 9, 47 & 48 and the Jihad & Khumus books [52 &53] of Sahih Bukhari. Much of the information therein contained is reflected in linked quotations throughout the text of the Congress Debate Koran petition. If you will read it, you will have a good head start. Please sign it and send its url to your Congressman & Senators. Then send it to everyone in your address book, urging the recipients to pass it on to others.

My web site, Crusader's Armory , contains links to the Qur'an & Hadith, and other resources. It also includes fliers you can print & distribute and Power point presentations you can use as email attachments.
