The Real Threat to Freedom: Islam or "Radical Right"?

The Real Threat to Freedom: Islam or "Radical Right"? Ahmed Rehab  : Let's Face it: It's the Radical Right, not Islam, that is the Greatest Threat to the American Way

    Rehab's screed at the Huffington Post names Congressmen Allen West and Peter King as examples of  "Radical Right" politicians.  There is one little problem with that: "Radical Right" denotes authoritarian and fascist systems and ideologies such as Nazism.  Nazism was National Socialism.  Those two Congressmen are free market capitalists who believe in limited, constitutional government, not fascism. 

    Did Rep. West really say that " Islam is the enemy" and "Islam is not a religion"? 

Ten seconds into this video, West says: "This is not a religion that you are fighting against, you are fighting against a theo-political system, a construct --you are fighting against something that has been doing this thing since 622 A.D. ...:


    The quote is not exact, but it conveys the essential meaning.  Unfortunately for Rehab, West is correct; Islam describes itself as a "Deen", a way of life. Islam dictates all facets of human life from conception to burial.  Consider Reliance of the Traveller, the handbook of Shari'ah; Book O treats of justice; its table of contents takes up five pages with as many as 49 items on three of them.  Examine the portion pertaining to jihad. I linked one item to the pdf file so that you can examine the text.

    Reliance of the Traveller is based on what Moe preached and practiced as recorded in the Qur'an & hadith, which define and exemplify Islam.  What legitimate religion has laws which require constant war of offensive conquest?  What legitimate religion has a law requiring offensive conquest to be carried out "in every year"?  [See Hedaya, Volume II, Book IX, Chapter 1 for confirmation of constant jihad on Islam's initiative.]  What legitimate religion has a chapter in its scripture titled "The Spoils of War"?    What deity worth worshiping terrorizes his creation and commands his Prophets to make "great slaughter"?.    Islam is waging war against us and it is a way of life, not a religion; West is correct. 

    Consider Rep. King's inquiry into "radicalization".  The titles of the hearings suggest a dichotomy between a normative, "moderate" Islam and a violent "radical' Islam.  There is one Qur'an, and there is one authentic interpretation of it exemplified by the oral traditions of Moe's companions.  Is normative Islam passive or aggressive?  What did Moe say and do about jihad?  One book has the answer to this question: Riyad us-Saliheen, Book 11, Chapter 234 : Obligation of Jihad.  Normative Islam is aggressively violent, by design. 

    "Radicalism" is a false meme used to divert our attention from objective factual reality.  The difference between the passive Muslim and the terrorist is the intensity of his faith, not its content. The proof is in 9:111 & 49:15, read them and weep.  The dichotomy is hypocrite||believer, not moderate||radical.

    Lets get down to the gritty detail:

    Lowe's is putting forth a very dangerous argument: that the far right bigots and the mainstream Muslim voices with their pro-tolerance allies of all faiths are equal opposites; that those who wish to humanize a faith community that comprises 25 percent of humanity and those who wish to demonize them are equal opposites; that the forces of bigotry and the forces of anti-bigotry are equal opposites. The pervasive assumption that there is a moral equivalency between the two sparring sides is a major factor in the rise of Islamophobia in the US. But Lowe's goes further than to claim moral equivalency. It actually takes sides, the wrong side: the side of the bigots.

    The running complaint used to be that Muslims are always portrayed as terrorists. But now, the message being sent is that "not portraying American Muslims as terrorists" is sufficient for complaint and controversy. It's moving the goal posts to a dangerous new "lowe."

    The purpose of the tv series about Muslims is to project an image of normalcy for the purpose of  lulling us into a state of apathy and inaction.  It is a hagiographic polemic.  The tactic is kitman: deception by obfuscation.   Two things are important: the content and intensity of their faith. The content is dictated by the Qur'an & hadith.  Muslims pose a real, proximate & continuing threat which varies directly with the intensity of their faith.

    Muslims are promised that if they fight in Allah's cause, they will be admitted to Paradise.  If they take any step to injure or enrage disbelievers, they get extra credit for "deeds of righteousness".  Muslims are threatened with eternity in the fire if they shirk jihad.   Put yourself in the Muslim's faith; if you really believe Allah's threat and promise, what will you do?

    Rejection of Islam is not a function of bigotry or political extremism, it is a function of knowledge of the doctrines & practices of Islam   About that running complaint, refer to Front Page Mag's revelation of CAIR's intimidation of FOX24.

    The forces of bigotry are Islam and political correctness. Representatives King and West are among the forces of anti-bigotry. The bigots do not want you to examine the facts. We want you to examine and consider the facts contained in Islam's canonical texts.

The hypocrisy of Congressional Bigotry

The hypocrisy of Congressional Bigotry
Fatwa on Islam brought this video to my attention. I had read a little about the controversy but had not delved deeply into it. I can't let this slide by without a blast of the torch. We find Christopher S. Murphy on the floor of the House, wasting precious time.

Last week, the giant home improvement chain, Lowe's decided to pull their ads from a new show on The Learning Channel called All American Muslim. ...American Muslim families of Lebanese descent in Dearborn, Michigan and highlights how their faith affects their lives and their families.  The show is aptly titled because it shows Muslim families to be exactly what they are in this situation and millions like them around the nation; they're Americans.  They face problems just like the rest of us, the only difference is they worship in a different church

    Now Lowe's pulled these ads because one right wing anti-Muslim group in Florida show hides the "true agenda" of Islam which, according to this group, is to destroy America. 

    Now this kind of anti-Muslim bigotry isn't new, it seems like every month we are being warned by a new radical group about the creep of Shari'ah law or a peaceful Mosque is being run out of a community or a radical pastor is burning the Qur'an on television.  But it is one thing when a fringe group or a radical unhinged pastor is doing it, it is quite another when a Fortune 100 company is endorsing this nonsense.

    Now Lowe's defends itself by saying that they are pulling these ads because some of their customers have "strong social and political views on this topic".  Well, congratulations to Lowe's for acknowledging that there are some really bigoted people in the world.  That doesn't mean  that Lowe's or any other company should acquiesce to this kind of behavior.  For instance, there are, unfortunately, a  lot of people out there who still hold racist views about African-Americans, but I don't think that means Lowe's is going to be pulling its ads from television shows featuring African-Americans.   Lowe's also says that they are sorry for walking into a "hotly contested debate".  Well, what debate are they talking about?  yes, we face threats from a fringe sect of radical anti-American Islamists but there is no debate that the millions of patriotic, peace loving Muslims who live in this country have no connection to that movement and do nothing except strengthen the fabric of our nation. 

    And maybe you think that this is just a minor side show and Congress shouldn't be talking about it on this floor; I submit to you that you're dead wrong.  This is a major American company rubber stamping basic foundational bigotry against a major American religious group

    This nation was founded on the premise of religious freedom and this body should never remain silent when a group of people is marginalized just because they worship a different god.  And though its certainly got more important things to worry about like fixing the economy,  its traditionally  been in bad economic times that this kind of social marginalization has been at its worst  because people don't speak up against it. 

    Now further, this kind of bias, it endangers our national security. Thadius  McDunn*, the President's deputy national security adviser, recently said: "al-Qaeda's core recruiting argument is that the West is at war with Islam".  With this action, extremists can say "Look, we're already being run out of their neighborhoods, now we're being run off of their television sets.". 

    This kind of anti-Muslim sentiment doesn't just endanger our nation's soul, it endangers our national security.  and so, here's my message for the folks at Lowe's who made this decision, and, frankly anybody out there of sound mind who is considering getting behind this growing anti-Muslim bias: you're better than this; you know that the history of this country and of this world never ever looks kindly on this kind of marginalization that you've endorsed with your actions.  And whether its agains Irish-Americans or Jewish-Americans or African-Americans,  the history books make sure that this kind of exclusionary politics becomes a stain on the reputation of anyone who takes part in it. 

    Today I am leading a group of members of Congress calling on Lowe's to reconsider their decision and listen, we do have a lot to fear from Islamic groups that seek to do harm to America, but we have nothing to fear from a tv program called All American Muslim and we have nothing to fear from the tens of millions of peace loving and patriotic Muslim Americans who are just like those who are portrayed in that show.  This is America and we have never been perfect at living up to our founding ideals, we've gotten pretty good at calling out bigotry when we see it and stamping it out before its mark becomes indelible; this can be one of those moments. 

* I typed what I heard, rewound the video and played that segment back. I checked Wikipedia and found: Denis McDonough. Not being a cat, I can safely indulge curiosity. I ran the quote through Google and found that most of the serps went to articles about the present controversy.  This one is the Congressman's letter.  The second link I tried turned out to be the 109 page transcript of the House Security hearing. This turned up on  page 2.

Just this past Sunday, for instance, Denis McDonough, the deputy national security adviser to President Obama, made a major speech on radicalization, stating that, quote, "Al Qaida and its adherents have increasingly turned to another troubling tactic, attempting to recruit and radicalize people to terrorism here in the United States. "For a long time, many in the U.S. thought that we were immune from this threat. That was false hope and false comfort. This threat is real and it is serious." "Al Qaida does this for the express purpose of trying to convince Muslim Americans to reject their country and attack their fellow Americans,"


Another quote, from the first Muslim elected to Congress,  turned up on page 12.

Mr. McDonough noted that Al Qaida's core recruiting argument is that the West is at war with Islam.


    Representative Ellison also quoted President Obama

"Islam is not part of the problem in combating violent extremism. It is an important part of promoting peace."


    There is a major problem in the recruit and radicalize meme: al-Qaeda and other so called "extremists groups" are normative Islam. Muslims have already been recruited.  Radicalized is a shibboleth designed to reinforce the false moderate || radical dichotomy.  Islam is not moderate and there is no moderate Islam.  There are Muslims who are ignorant of their "religious" obligations and Muslims who ignore their obligations, but there are no moderate Muslims.
For the detestable details of that Islamic obligation, turn to Reliance of the Traveller, Book O9.1.  Pay particular attention to the first and penultimate paragraphs of that section.  [See also: http://islamic-world.net/youth/jihad_articles.htm]

    Islam's normal state is war, periods of peace are the exception; for the duration of a state of weakness. Outside of incapacity, failure to attack disbelievers is a sin. If you do not comprehend that, follow this link, read the page, then scroll up to the proceeding page and read it; Jihad is undertaken on Islamic initiative and must be continuous. 

    The West is not at war against Islam but should be because Islam is at war against us.  If you do not comprehend this, open the Qur'an to 9:29.  if reality still does not sink in, follow up with Tafsir Ibn Kathir.

    Representative Ellison and President Obama are damned liars: Islam promotes war, it does not promote peace.  I direct doubters and dissenters to the links in the previous paragraph and the link two paragraphs up, to Reliance of the Traveller.  Islamic law says that the caliph makes war upon Jews, Christians and Zoroastrians.  Allah said "fight them".  Moe said that he was 'ordered to fight the people".  Al-Mughira told a Persian general: "Our Prophet, the Messenger of our Lord, has ordered us to fight you till you worship Allah Alone or give Jizya (i.e. tribute); and our Prophet has informed us that our Lord says:-- 'Whoever amongst us is killed (i.e. martyred), shall go to Paradise to lead such a luxurious life as he has never seen, and whoever amongst us remain alive, shall become your master.'"[Sahih Bukhari 4.53.386]

    The Dey of Algiers explained to Adams & Jefferson by what right the Barbary Pirates attacked our shipping.

[the right] was founded on the Laws of the Prophet (Mohammed), that it was written in their Koran, that all nations who should not have answered their authority were sinners, that it was their right and duty to make war upon them wherever they could be found, and to make slaves of all they could take as prisoners, and that every Mussulman (or Muslim) who should be slain in battle was sure to go to heaven. [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/First_Barbary_War]


    From the Islamic viewpoint, peace is the condition appertaining after Islam has conquered the entire world, until then there is war.  Islam promotes peace by conquering us.  If that ain't the Acme of arrogance, what is?

worship in a different church

    Muslims are not our fellow believers in Jehovah & his son. The difference between us and Muslims is not analogous to the difference between Catholics and Baptists. Their deity commands them to participate in offensive warfare to conquer the entire world  Those Muslims who observe the five compulsory prayers curse us seventeen times every day, reminding Allah why he wants to burn us

right wing anti-Muslim

    That is argumentum Ad Hominem, a meritricious personal attack designed to denigrate one's opponent and distract attention from the merits of his facts & logic.  In the old French Parliament, the regime and its supporters sat on the right side, the populists sat on the left.  When they shout "right wing", they are labeling us authoritarians or fascists.  The popular connotation is Nazi.  But the Grand Mufti of Jerusalem was allied with Hitler and raised two divisions of SS from Muslims in Bosnia. 

    The meme:  we are against Muslims, we must be bigots. What we oppose is Islam: propagation & implementation of Allah's imperatives to genocidal conquest through terrorism.  This is not about Arabs or Asians, we have no problem with Christian Arabs or Asians.  This is about an ideology which is the polar opposite of ours and denies our dignity and rights because we do not embrace it.

true agenda of Islam

    That phrase was used derisively, to dismiss, a priori, without evidence, the fact that Islam is a system of global conquest. If any doubt lingers, read Sahih Bukhari 1.7.331with particular attention to items 1 & 5.

anti-Muslim bigotry

    That phrase is another example of argumentum Ad Hominem, which dismisses, without facts & logic, informed, principled opposition to being murdered, our widows raped and our orphans sold into slavery. The academics, clergy, media personalities & elected officials who spew Ad Hominem against us should read and comprehend Noble Qur'an 9:111, 120 & 123; if they did, those who have any conscience would feel great shame.

radical group

    They attack us because they can not contest the facts we present.  Because they can not refute our facts and logic, they seek to denigrate  us in hopes or discrediting our arguments. Intelligent and open minded people can see through that tactic. Exactly what is "radical" about SIOA, UAC & Act! For America?

creep of Shari'ah

    There have been 50 trial and appellate cases involving Shari'ah in American courts.    Shari'ah allows a Muslim to divorce his wife by repeating "I divorce you." three times. Shari'ah prohibits granting custody of a Muslim child to its Christian mother. A mother who remarries loses custody of her children. Christians are disqualified from giving testimony.

Mosque is being run out

    Exactly where has an existing Mosque been run out of a community?  Objections have been raised to the Mosque proposed for Ground Zero and construction has been opposed in other areas, with good reason. 

radical pastor is burning the Qur'an

    Exactly what is radical about Rev. Terry Jones?  He opposes an ideology which demands that he be slaughtered. Is there something wrong with that?  He held a four hour trial in which the Qur'an was convicted of inciting violence and subsequently burned.  Burning the American flag is protected free speech but burning a book which commands perpetual genocidal war against us is "bigotry", "hate speech" & "inciting violence".  Kindly kiss my big, deformed, ulcerated smelly foot, Congressman!

radical unhinged pastor

    Notice how the Congressman makes repeated use of argument against the man because he can not contest the facts.  Argumentum Ad Hominem is a constant theme in his screed.

Fortune 100 company

    There he goes again; a "radical unhinged pastor" has no credibility, but  a "Fortune 100 company" has plenty of credibility so its speech must be coerced.

endorsing this nonsense

    Pulling their advertisement does not prove the assertion that Lowe's opposes Islam.  It is probable that their primary motivation is financial, related to diminishing ROI as the show's audience shrank. 

nonsense

   Resistance to the invading and occupying fifth column of an existential enemy is not nonsense. Islam caused the untimely deaths of 270*106 people  over the last 1388 years. As recently as ten years ago it murdered 3000 on our soil.  Arrogant dismissal of that  proximate & continuing threat is the real nonsense.

strong views = bigoted

    Bigots are uninformed and closed minded. Opponents of Islam are informed by Islam's canon of scripture, tradition, exegesis & jurisprudence and by information shared by scholars who have studied those sources. The real bigots are those who accuse us of bigotry.

acquiesce

    Terrible bigotry it is to acquiesce to customer complaints over advertising on a tv show which covers the enemy fifth column with the false mantle of religion, but how sensible & righteous to acquiesce to an arrogant demand letter from a Congressman.  Does anyone else recognize hypocrisy when they see it? Did these Congressmen send demand letters in opposition to Muslim boycotts of advertisers on Mike Savage & Rush Limbaugh's radio shows?  If not, they should sit down and shut up.

what debate

    The debate about Islam: "great religion of peace" or genocidal crime syndicate disguised as a religion.  Six years ago, a "Soldier of Allah", holding the rank of Major in the U.S. Army, shot and killed 13 soldiers as an act of worship in Allah's name.  Political Correctness labels his act as "workplace violence".  Kindly take PC to Hell with you.

fringe sect of radical Islamists

       Are these the words of fringe radicals:

  • 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 ]. But if they cease (worshipping others besides Allâh), then certainly, Allâh is All-Seer of what they do.
  • O9.9

    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' (y21), 6.48-49) ).

  • 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 (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 with willing submission, and feel themselves subdued.
  • O9.8: The Objectives of Jihad

    The caliph (o25) 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: o11.4) -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),...

  • 8:67. It is not for a Prophet that he should have prisoners of war (and free them with ransom) until he had made a great slaughter (among his enemies) in the land. You desire the good of this world (i.e. the money of ransom for freeing the captives), but Allâh desires (for you) the Hereafter. And Allâh is All-Mighty, All-Wise.

  • 9:111. Verily, Allâh has purchased of the believers their lives and their properties; for the price that theirs shall be the Paradise. They fight in Allâh's Cause, so they kill (others) and are killed. It is a promise in truth which is binding on Him in the Taurât (Torah) and the Injeel (Gospel) and the Qur'ân. And who is truer to his covenant than Allâh? Then rejoice in the bargain which you have concluded. That is the supreme success . 
  • 9:120. It was not becoming of the people of Al-Madinah and the bedouins of the neighbourhood to remain behind Allâh's Messenger (Muhammad  when fighting in Allâh's Cause) and (it was not becoming of them) to prefer their own lives to his life. That is because they suffer neither thirst nor fatigue, nor hunger in the Cause of Allâh, nor they take any step to raise the anger of disbelievers nor inflict any injury upon an enemy but is written to their credit as a deed of righteousness. Surely, Allâh wastes not the reward of the Muhsinûn
  • 9:123. O you who believe! Fight those of the disbelievers who are close to you, and let them find harshness in you, and know that Allâh is with those who are the Al-Muttaqûn (the pious - see V.2:2). 
  • 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." 

Is Allah, the deity of Islam, a "fringe radical"?  Is Moe, who founded and exemplified Islam, a "fringe radical"?  Explain to me, with valid, verifiable facts, that what Allah said and Moe did ain't normative Islam.  Explain to me exactly how the genocidal conquest of India was anything but normative Islam.  Explain to me how the conquest of Arabia, Syria, South East Europe and North Africa was anything other than normative Islam.  Explain to me how the Assyrian & Armenian genocides were anything other than normative Islam.  Explain to me how the attacks on New York City, London, Madrid, Beslan & Mumbai were anything other than normative Islam.  And prove it!!!

    Damned fools and liars will assert "mis-translation", "mis-interpretation" & "cherry picking"~"out of context".  Save your voice. Parallel translations, an Arab/English dictionary and scholarly exegesis expose your malignant malarkey. 

To all of which, the arrogant anal orifices will respond, chanting in unison: "That's all Sunni, inauthentic; we don't believe in it.". Ok, try Al-Mizan, a Shi'ia Tafsir. The translation of Surah Al-Anfal & At-taubah is not available, but 2:190 nicely covers the same territory.

Although Reliance of the Traveller is Shafi'ite, it is most widely accepted as authentic Islamic Law. let the doubters & dissenters resort to the Maliki & Hanifi fiqh.

But, of course, Moe was kind and gentle, the best and greatest of men; a perfect role model for emulation. If you are stupid enough to believe that, reading his biography probably won't help, but I'll link it anyway.

    For permanent reference and easier reading, go to Amazon and buy a hard copy, they have the books except the Maliki  Risala.  Note that the Hedaya is Volume II, Volume 1 lacks the information on jihad.

http://www.florida-family.org/take_action_form.php?message=51
Here is the message Florida Family wants supporters to send to advertisers.

All-American Muslim is propaganda. Please do not support it with advertising.

The Learning Channel's new show All-American Muslim is propaganda clearly designed to counter legitimate and present-day concerns about many Muslims who are advancing Islamic fundamentalism and Sharia law.

The show profiles only Muslims that appear to be ordinary folks while excluding many Islamic believers whose agenda poses a clear and present danger to the liberties and traditional values that the majority of Americans cherish.

One of the most troubling scenes occurred at the introduction of the program when a Muslim police officer stated "I really am American.  No ifs and or buts about it."  This scene would appear to be damage control for the Dearborn Police who have arrested numerous Christians including several former Muslims for peacefully preaching Christianity.

Many situations were profiled in the show from a Muslim tolerant perspective while avoiding the perspective that would have created Muslim conflict thereby contradicting The Learning Channel’s agenda to inaccurately portray Muslims in America.

Clearly this program is attempting to manipulate Americans into ignoring the threat of jihad and to influence them to believe that being concerned about the jihad threat would somehow victimize these nice people in this show.

I encourage you to stop supporting this show with your advertising dollars.

Is the show propaganda designed to improve Islam's image?  What other purpose could it have?  Are there reality shows about Amish and Mormons? Why not?  What is so interesting about the lives of  ordinary Muslims that we should want to look through their living room windows?

    Would the show be less objectionable if it also portrayed members of Revolution Muslim, showing them preaching hate and violence on the sidewalks of New York?  Have any segments been taped showing RM or other "radicals"?  Are there any segments on American Muslims parading photographs of Khomeini?  If not, why not?

    For the other side's POV, with some hyperbole, more quotes & links and css that makes it difficult to read, visit The American Muslim:  http://theamericanmuslim.org/tam.php/features/articles/all-american-muslim.

    Murphy's screed is an archetype of Hillary Clinton's implementation of HRC 16/18: combating "defamation of Islam" * "negative stereotyping", "hate speech" & "incitement to violence"  by denouncing anyone who criticizes Islam. Contradiction is the best counter to lies, but against relevant, verifiable facts and clear logic, it needs more than argumentum Ad Hominem, which is all Murphy has to offer.

    I urge and exhort all lovers of liberty and freedom of expression to join in demanding an immediate and permanent halt to implementation of the Istanbul Process. Sign this petition to send emails to your Representative & Senators. Please share and promote the petition as widely as possible.

Preserve Free Speech!!!

 Between December 12 & 14, 2011, the OIC, Department of State and others met in Washington to find ways of implementing HRC Res. 16/18.  From the available evidence, they appear to have settled on a new enforcement model, linked to "consequences" .

    If this new model had been in place a year ago, Pastors Jones & Sapp would be sued for civil liability and persecuted for trying and burning a Qur'an , based on the assertion that Pakistani Muslims rioted, causing death and destruction, as a result of their book burning. 

    The fact that the riots resulted from inflammatory sermons at Jumah Salat probably would not have saved the Pastors from legal expenses and penalties.  The intention is to impose self censorship by implementing a heckler's veto. 

    If we expose Islam and they don't like it, Muslims can riot and blame us for their actions, and the government can impose fines, costs, and imprisonment.
Now is the time to stand up for the First Amendment's Free Speech clause by demanding that Congress block implementation of the Istanbul process. 

    I now therefore ask you to take the following actions:

  1. Sign this on line petition:  http://www.petition2congress.com/5741/preserve-first-amendment-from-attack-by-oic/
  2. Send emails to  your Representative & Senators as part of the petition process. 
  3. Share the petition through Facebook, Twitter and other social media.
  4. Exhort your friends & family to sign and share the petition. 

Istanbul Process: Censorship Through Subterfuge

 The fall session of the Istanbul Process has concluded; while we await publication of their report we can reflect on the manifold deceptions which passed the lips of two participants.  I have selected the most important phrases out of context for criticism.

    It is not possible to advance respect for religious freedom & tolerance where Allah's writ runs. There is neither tolerance nor respect for religions other than Islam in Egypt, Saudi Arabia and other nations dominated by Islam.  The positive attitudes desired by Amb. Cook do not  and can not exist there because of the doctrines of Islam. 
  • Non-Muslims are cursed.
    • 2:161. Verily, those who disbelieve, and die while they are disbelievers, it is they on whom is the Curse of Allâh and of the angels and of mankind, combined.
    • 3:12. Say (O Muhammad ) to those who disbelieve: "You will be defeated and gathered together to Hell, and worst indeed is that place to rest."

    • 9:30. And the Jews say: 'Uzair (Ezra) is the son of Allâh, and the Christians say: Messiah is the son of Allâh. That is a saying from their mouths. They imitate the saying of the disbelievers of old. Allâh's Curse be on them, how they are deluded away from the truth!

    For the full quote, turn to page 35 of the April '11 Islamophobia Report. Hillary's assertion is malignant. Islam demands that all criticism of Islam be squelched, which is clear in the text of previous HRC & GA resolutions "Combating Defamation of Religions".

    Reliance of the Traveller defines apostasy with a list of twenty acts which entail leaving Islam [O8.7] Those acts include reviling Allah, Muhammad or Islam and denial of any Islamic law or doctrine.  The penalty for apostasy is execution, specified in the second section of chapter 8. [O8.1]    The same rule and punishment are imposed upon conquered Jews & Christians living in Dar ul-Islam as Dhimmis: -5- or mentions something impermissible about Allah, the Prophet (Allah bless him and give him peace), or Islam. [O11.10] The penalty imposed upon a Dhimmi who blasphemes is the same as he would suffer when captured in battle, one of four choices by the Imam, death being the first listed. [O9.14]

    The OIC demanded prosecution of the publisher of the Motoons and demanded that the Dutch government block the publication of Fitna. After the publication, they demanded prosecution. Egypt is demanding that publication of Wilders' upcoming book be blocked.

      • Resolution 16/18 secured an international consensus around an action-oriented approach to combat religious intolerance in line with respect for universal human rights—including religious freedom and freedom of expression.
    "Respect for freedom of expression" yeah, right. The following paragraph occurs on page two of the resolution:

Expresses deep concern at the continued serious instances of derogatory
stereotyping, negative profiling and stigmatization of persons based on their religion or
belief, as well as programmes and agendas pursued by extremist organizations and groups
aimed at creating and perpetuating negative stereotypes about religious groups, in particular
when condoned by Governments;

"Derogatory stereotyping " & "negative stereotypes"  are encrypted references to  associating Islam with terrorism.  Last year's GA resolution expresses it this way: 

Also emphasizes that no religion should be equated with terrorism, as this
may have adverse consequences on the enjoyment of the right to freedom of religion
or belief of all members of the religious communities concerned;

Oh, but that meme has been abandoned, hasn't it?  Yeah, right. Two resolutions came out of the Third Committee in November, one based on 19/18 and
A/C.3/66/L.48/Rev.1 : "Elimination of all forms of intolerance and of discrimination based on religion or belief".

Also emphasizes that no religion should be equated with terrorism, as this
may have adverse consequences on the enjoyment of the right to freedom of religion
or belief of all members of the religious communities concerned;

    Islam = terrorism because Allah said that he would cast terror, did cast terror & Moe said that it made him victorious.  I present to you relevant, verifiable proof from the Qur'an, Tafsir Ibn Kathir & Sahih Bukhari, the most authentic of the six canonical hadith collections. 

  • 3:151. We shall cast terror into the hearts of those who disbelieve
  • 7:4.  How many a township have We destroyed! As a raid by night, or while they slept at noon, Our terror came unto them.
    • Our torment came upon them by night or while they were taking their midday nap. ) means, Allah's command, torment and vengeance came over them at night or while taking a nap in the middle of the day. Both of these times are periods of rest and leisure or heedlessness and amusement.  Nations that were destroyed
  • 8:12. (Remember) when your Lord inspired 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."
    • ...(I will cast terror into the hearts of those who have disbelieved.) means, `you -- angels -- support the believers, strengthen their (battle) front against their enemies, thus, implementing My command to you. I will cast fear, disgrace and humiliation over those who defied My command and denied My Messenger,  (so strike them over the necks, and smite over all their fingers and toes.) strike them on their foreheads to tear them apart and over the necks to cut them off, and cut off their limbs, hands and feet....Allah commands the Angels to fight and support the Believers
  • 8:60. Against them make ready your strength to the utmost of your power, including steeds of war, to strike terror into (the hearts of) the enemies, of God and your enemies, and others besides, whom ye may not know, but whom God doth know. Whatever ye shall spend in the cause of God, shall be repaid unto you, and ye shall not be treated unjustly.
  • 33:26. And those of the people of the Scripture who backed them (the disbelievers) Allah 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.
    • (and cast terror into their hearts;) means fear, because they had supported the idolators in their war against the Messenger of Allah and the one who knows is not like the one who does not know. They had terrified the Muslims and intended to kill them so as to gain earthly power, but their plans backfired; the idolators ran away and the believers were victorious while the disbelievers were losers; where they had aimed for glory, they were humiliated. The Campaign against Banu Qurayzah
  • 59:2. He it is Who drove out the disbelievers among the people of the Scripture (i.e. the Jews of the tribe of Bani An-Nadir) from their homes at the first gathering. You did not think that they would get out. And they thought that their fortresses would defend them from Allah! But Allah's (Torment) reached them from a place whereof they expected it not, and He cast terror into their hearts, so that they destroyed their own dwellings with their own hands and the hands of the believers. Then take admonition, O you with eyes (to see).
    • ...Therefore, Allah sent His torment down on them; it can never be averted, and His appointed destiny touched them; it can never be resisted. The Prophet forced them to evacuate and abandon their fortified forts that Muslims did not think they would ever control. ...Then take admonition, O you with eyes.) meaning, "Contemplate the end of those who defied Allah's command, contradicted His Messenger and denied His Book. See how Allah's humiliating torment struck them in this life, as well as, the painful torment that Allah has reserved for them in the Hereafter.''... The End that Bani An-Nadir suffered
  • 59:13. Of a truth ye are stronger (than they) because of the terror in their hearts, (sent) by God. This is because they are men devoid of understanding.
  • 8:57. So if you gain the mastery over them in war, punish them severely in order to disperse those who are behind them, so that they may learn a lesson.
    • ...(then disperse those who are behind them,) by severely punishing ﴿the captured people﴾ according to Ibn `Abbas, Al-Hasan Al-Basri, Ad-Dahhak, As-Suddi, `Ata' Al-Khurasani and Ibn `Uyaynah. This Ayah commands punishing them harshly and inflicting casualties on them. This way, other enemies, Arabs and non-Arabs, will be afraid and take a lesson from their end,... Striking Hard against Those Who disbelieve and break the Covenants
  •  Sahih Bukhari Volume 1, Book 7, Number 331
    Narrated Jabir bin 'Abdullah: 
    The Prophet said, "I have been given five things which were not given to any one else before me. 
    1. Allah made me victorious by awe, (by His frightening my enemies) for a distance of one month's journey. .
  • Sahih 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).

    "Programs and agendas pursued by extremist organizations" is an encrypted reference to the Dutch and Austrian Freedom Parties and the American Tea Party.  They want to make the Tea Party and negative expressions about Islam in campaign advertisements illegal. If you doubt this, read the April '11 Islamophobia Report, pages 3, 6 & 49

      • calls on states to take specific measures to combat religious intolerance
The call comes on page 2 of the resolution.

Expresses its concern that incidents of religious intolerance, discrimination
and related violence, as well as of negative stereotyping of individuals on the basis of
religion or belief, continue to rise around the world, and condemns, in this context, any
advocacy of religious hatred against individuals that constitutes incitement to
discrimination, hostility or violence, and urges States to take effective measures, as set forth
in the present resolution, consistent with their obligations under international human rights
law, to address and combat such incidents;
  • incidents of
    • intolerance: Islamophobia
    • negative stereotyping: Terrorism is an intrinsic sacrament of Islam :. Muslims are terrorists.
    • avocacy of religious hatred
      • constitutes incitement
        • discrimination
        • hostility
        • violence: any & every criticism of Islam, exemplified by Fitna, the Motoons & Qur'an burning
  • effective measures:  legislation and its enforcement

Article 19

1. Everyone shall have the right to hold opinions without interference

2. Everyone shall have the right to freedom of expression: this right shall include freedom to seek, receive, and impart information and ideas of all kinds, regardless of frontiers, either orally, in writing or in print, in the form of art, or through any other media of this choice

3. The exercise of the rights provided for in paragraph 2 of this article carries with it special duties and responsibilities. It may therefore be subject to certain restrictions, but these shall only be such as provided by law and are necessary.

   (a) For respect of the rights or reputations of others;

   (b) For the protection of national security or of public order (ordre public), or of public health or morals.

Article 20

1. Any propaganda for war shall be prohibited by law

2. Any advocacy of national, racial or religious hatred that constitutes incitement to discrimination, hostility or violence shall be prohibited by law.


Reservations:

       "(1) That article 20 does not authorize or require legislation or other action by the United States that would restrict the right of free speech and association protected by the Constitution and laws of the United States.

Several of the resolutions make allusion to  19.3, attempting to stretch 19.3.a to cover Islam.  Note that the U.S.A. reserved our First Amendment right of free expression.  Several resolutions bitterly kvetch about that reservation, demanding its repeal. The HRC has an Ad Hoc Committee on Elaboration of Complementary Standards whose mission is to write a binding protocol which will insert the provisions of previous defamation of Islam resolutions into one of the human rights covenants.

    Define advocacy of hatred that constitutes incitement. Exactly what does that expression in 20.2 mean in the real world.  For the answer, we must turn to the Secretary General.
.

Reuters quotes U.N. Secretary General Ban Ki-moon about Fitna:"There is no justification for hate speech or incitement to violence," Ban said in a statement. "The right of free expression is not at stake here."

According to Ban, the short documentary by Geert Wilders meets the test of 20.2. There is one little problem: Fitna is an exposure of incitement, it is not incitement.  I direct doubters & dissenters to this blog post which documents Fitna's scriptural citations: The intention of HRC 16/18 is to criminalize Fitna, the Motoons, this blog post and every criticism of Islam. 

  •  
    •  
      • Those rights include the right to believe and the right practice a religion not sanctioned by the state -- or no religion at all.
    Who can argue with the right to belief & practice of religion?  Islam does, and I can, too!  The existence of a right to practice Islam is an impossibility because the practice of Islam entails genocide, terror,plunder, extortion, & rape. This fatal fact is fully documented here:  No Right to Practice Islam!
   
    Allah said  that only he has the right to be worshiped. Get a clue.
  • 3:2. Allâh! Lâ ilahâ illa Huwa (none has the right to be worshipped but He), the Ever Living, the One Who sustains and protects all that exists. 
  • O11.5 -6- are forbidden to openly display wine or pork, (A: to ring church bells or display crosses,) recite the Torah or Evangel aloud, or make public display of their funerals and feastdays;  -7- and are forbidden to build new churches.
    Islam does not accept the UDHR, it substituted the Cairo Declaration, which makes Shari'ah the bottom line. I just quoted the relevant Shari'ah for you. Get a clue: scroll to the end of the declaration and read Articles 24 & 25.  Its Shari'ah, stupid, refer to Reliance of the Traveller, Book O, Chapter 11.5, quoted above.  Freedom of religion is a one way street: for Muslims only.
  •  
    •  
      • This purpose is to advance religious freedom, promote religious tolerance, and combat discrimination on the basis of religion or belief—consistent with universal human rights principles.
The purpose is permanently frustrated because Islam does not and will not allow religious freedom or  tolerate religions  and discriminates against indigenous religious minorities.   Those flaws are intrinsic to the core of Islam and can not be altered or removed because Islam can not be reformed.
  • protect religious minorities and protect freedom of expression
    Indigenous Christians in Egypt & Pakistan will be charged with blasphemy and persecuted, up to and including execution for saying "Jesus is Lord.". HRC 16/18 does nothing to change Shari'ah nor its implementation in Islamic nations and that is not its intention.  Its stated mission is to prevent and punish "negative stereotyping", which is substituted for "defamation of religions", which was substituted for "defamation of Islam". A skunk by any other name will smell as pungent.  The resolution reeks, likewise the clever words with which it is being disguised & promoted, which are redolent of feces.
  •  
    •  
      •  some people distort various religious doctrines to justify intolerance, foment violence, or create strife that serves their narrow political purposes
    Islam's mission is to enrich its founder & his successors through the professional practice of war and extortion.  I direct doubters & dissenters to a previous blog post for the disgusting details: Islam's Mercenary Mission.  Genocidal jihad which terrorizes its victims is an intrinsic sacrament of Islam, not a radical innovation.  I direct doubters & dissenters to a previous blog post which exposes the disgusting details: What's Wrong With Islam/Muslims? .
  •  
    •  
      • faith must never be a crime and religion must never be used as an excuse to stifle freedom of expression.
    "Faith without works is dead." and faith without content is empty.  Faith ain't the problem: doctrines are!  It is what they believe, not the fact that they believe. Faith produces works; the works of Islam are genocidal conquest, rape, pillage & extortion; this is why there can be No Right to Practice Islam.

     The objective of HRC 16/18 and its successor before the GA is to criminalize and punish the publication of the facts contained in this blog post. The OIC tried to block the publication of Fitna. They are trying to block the publication of a new book by Geert Wilders. They demanded that he be persecuted for Fitna. 

  • Remarks at the Istanbul Process for Combating Intolerance and Discrimination Based on Religion or Belief
    Hillary just told us that there is a right kill, enslave, rape, plunder and extort disbelievers. Does she also  believe that there is a right to free expression? What did she say about International Burn the Qur'an Day?  Did she uphold Rev. Jones' right to express his disdain for the damnable doctrines of Islam by burning a Qur'an?  No, she condemned the planned event, labeling it as hate speech and inciting violence, the same terms she used to condemn the trial & burning of the Qur'an last March.

      • this resolution marks a step forward in creating a safe global environment for practicing and expressing one’s beliefs
    •  
      • In it, we pledge to protect the freedom of religion for all while also protecting freedom of expression.
    There is no step toward religious freedom short of eradicating Islam. Does Hillary plan to send the Marines to protect Copts in Egypt?  No resolution will protect them!  Only overwhelming force will prevent Muslims from killing members of Christian minorities in Africa, Arabia & Asia.  Nobody proposes to assemble and apply that force. 

    Islam can only be eradicated by inducing mass apostasy.  Mass apostasy can only be induced by exposing the Ummah to the glaring reality of the identity and attributes of Allah, the character and works of Moe and the horrific crimes against humanity perpetrated in Allah's name over the last 14 centuries.

    Previous resolutions demanded criminalizing association of Islam with terrorism, an intrinsic sacrament of which Moe bragged. Another resolution pending in the General Assembly demands criminalizing equating Islam with terrorism.

Who will go to Pakistan and enforce the right to convert to Christianity?  Will Hillary or Ban go?  Whom will they send; will they return alive and whole from that mission?  You can not change the Qur'an & sunnah on which O8.1 is based, so, exactly what will you do about it?

    Only the U.S. government has an obligation to protect our rights.  Res. 16/18 is part of a campaign to eviscerate our right to free speech. Hillary's State department is acting in contravention of the First Amendment.
  •  
    •  
      • restricting the practice of anyone’s faith is a threat to the human rights of all individuals.
    Muslims believe that they have a divine right and religious obligation to conquer the entire world, by intimidation & force, including "casting terror". That right and obligation is inseverable; Islam is all or nothing. Muslims who believe "fight in Allah's cause, killing others and being killed. Only those who participate in jihad are believers. Muslims are commanded to obey Allah and Moe.  Allah commanded them to "fight the disbelievers nearest you".  Open Sahih Bukhari 52 to see what Moe did, which is to be emulated.  Terrorism is an act of worship, intrinsic to the practice of Islam; Muslims earn Brownie Points for any step taken to injure or enrage disbelievers.

    Hillary just informed us that preventing Muslims from engaging in terrorism is an infringement of their human right to the free practice of religion. Muslims can not fully practice Islam without it.

  •  
    •  
      • my ability to practice my religious faith freely does not, and indeed cannot, diminish yours
    Your Methodism, Hillary, does not impair the practice of Islam. A Muslim, practicing his religion can rape and kill you as an act of worship.  Of course, that does not diminish your rights at all, does it?
  •  
    •  
      • Religion can be such a powerful bond, but we also recognize that it can be misused to create conflict.
    Creating conflict and perpetuating war are not misuses of Islam, they are its mission.  Its jihad, stupid! The "original religion" of Islam is jihad and jihad is war against non-Muslims. Allah will curse Muslims with disgrace if they abandon jihad for trade and agriculture. 
  •  
    •  
      • There are those who, for reasons actually having little to do with religion, seek to instill fear or contempt for those of another creed.
    That is an obvious sideswipe at "Islamophobes"; those of us who expose and warn others about the damnable doctrines & practices of Islam.  Hillary implies that critics of Islam are rousing the rabble to lynch Muslims.  If that was true, we could and should be prosecuted.  In fact we are not, but far from it. 
  •  
    •  
      • So we believe that it is the duty of every government to ensure that individuals are not subject to violence, discrimination, or intimidation because of their faith or their lack of faith. 
    The governments of Egypt, Pakistan and other Islam dominated nations are active, willing participants in intimidation, discrimination & persecution of indigenous Christian minorities and turn a blind eye to Islamic violence. 
  •  
    •  
      • At the same time, as we strive to protect individuals from violence and discrimination because of their religion or their beliefs, we must also express the freedom of expression.
       Terrorism is an intrinsic sacrament of Islam.  Muslims earn Brownie Points with each act of terrorism.  9/11 was an act of worship.  The OIC seeks to criminalize and punish the uttering and publishing of those fatal facts.  The resolution they ran through the GA last year is clear on that matter.  Res 16/18 focuses on incitement to hatred and violence.  According to Ban Ki-Moon,  exposing the direct connection between Islamic scripture, preaching and terrorism is hate speech and incitement not protected by freedom of expression.  If he had the power, Ban would prohibit the publication of this blog post. The purpose of Res 16/18 is to con our government into doing it for him. 
  •  
    •  
      • Well, how would one know that you were being discriminated against if you didn’t have the right to freedom of expression?
    The right of free expression is essential to discussion of affairs of state; to political campaigns in particular.  When we perceive a real, proximate and continuing threat to our personal and national security, we must be free to warn our fellow citizens.  When we are offended by the arrogant exactions of enemy forces, we must be free to express our outrage and contempt.  The resolution you seek to implement is designed to eliminate our right to free speech.

  •  
    •  
      • So the freedom of religion and the freedom of expression are absolutely bound up together.
    My right to warn of the damnable mission, doctrines and practices of Islam does not, in any way impair anyone's freedom of religion.  If Muslims have a right to practice Islam, then all of my rights are impaired.  The right to live and the right to practice Islam can not coexist because Islam is a license to kill; a declaration of open season in denial of the right to life and property.  I direct doubters & dissenters to Sahih Bukhari 1.8.387.
  •  
    •  
      • Now, there are those who have always seen a tension between these two freedoms, especially when one person’s speech seems to question someone else’s religious beliefs, 
    Open Reliance of the Traveller, the Shafi'ite handbook of fiqh which serves as the main codification of Shari'ah, to Book O11.10 and learn that Dhimmis can be killed for mentioning anything "impermissible" about Allah, Moe or Islam.
  •  
    •  
      • or maybe even offends that person’s beliefs.
      • But the truth we have learned, through a lot of trial and error over more than 235 years in our country, is that we defend our beliefs best by defending free expression for everyone, and it lowers the temperature. It creates an environment in which you are free to exercise and to speak about your religion, whether your neighbor or someone across the town agrees with you or not.
      •  In fact, the appropriate answer to speech that offends is more speech.
    Speech that offends: "fight them until", "fight those who ...until", "I am commanded to fight", "I will cast terror", "Allah cast terror" so that "some you killed" and others you "made captive". I am offended by the Qur'an, hadith, Exegesis & Shari'ah! I am offended by shouts of  "Allahu akbar!".  I am offended by the accursed abomination 9/11 and every Islamic act of terrorism. 

    This blog post, the hundreds of similar posts which preceded it and those that will follow it are my response to intolerable evil.  My disrespectful demand that Islam be outlawed, Muslims expelled and excluded from the U.S.A. is my response to intolerable evil.  My curse that I will not vote for any candidate for high office who does not explicitly condemn Islam is my response to intolerable evil. 

  •  
    •  
      • It is hurtful when bigotry pollutes the public sphere, 
    Informed and reasoned opposition to & denunciation of Islam, based on the facts contained in its canon of scripture, tradition, exegesis & jurisprudence is not bigotry. The hallmarks of bigotry are ignorance and a closed mind. 
  •  
    •  
      • but the state does not silence ideas, no matter how disagreeable they might be, 
    You just confessed, in context of Res.16/18, that exposure & condemnation of Islam are disagreeable to you and that you consider them to be bigotry.  You also lied, because the state, in seeking to implement 16/18, seeks to criminalize & punish all criticism of Islam.  You have, in fact, adopted the  agenda of the enemy: to silence our messages of warning and dissent.
  •  
    •  
      • because we believe that in the end, the best way to treat offensive speech is by people either ignoring it or combating it with good arguments and good speech that overwhelms it.
    My side has the facts, Hillary. It is not possible to refute our condemnation of Islam because what we say is supported by ample evidence found in Islam's canon.  You can not refute the facts outlined in this blog post. You can lie about them, spew ad-hominem & Tu-quoque, but you can not prevail with fact and logic because Islam is intrinsically evil, by design and incapable of reformation.
  •  
    •  
      • So we do speak out and condemn hateful speech.
    You condemned Pastor Jones when he sponsored International Burn the Koran Day.  You condemned him when he tried and executed the Qur'an last March. You and General Petraeus betrayed us, blaming Jones for Muslim riots stirred up among rabid rabble by rabid Imams at Jumah Salat.  Jones did not incite violence. Jones did not engage in hate speech. Jones did not violate anyone's rights.  When you accused Jones of inciting violence, you did, in fact, incite violence by encouraging Muslims to riot.  I call treason when I see it.  You and Obama should be impeached, convicted of treason and removed from office.

    •  
      •  In fact, we think it is our duty to do so,
      •  but we don’t ban it or criminalize it.
    Res. 16/18 is a continuation of the string of resolutions spawned by the OIC's Ten year Plan.  Scroll down to Art. VI, item 3 and read about it.  Read Ekmeleddin Ihsanoglu's speech to the HRC Session 15 and Amb. Akram's statement to Session 16, which is transcribed in this blog post.  When we read those two screeds and the Islamophobia Reports,  the intent of the resolution is unmistakably clear.

    Fasten your seat belts, this is where the going gets rough. Put away all fire, choke and spill hazards before you continue reading.

  •  
    •  
      • Now, with Resolution 1618, we have clarified these dual objectives. 
    Malignant malarkey!  You clarified nothing, you obfuscated your intention to criminalize criticism of Islam. That is kitman as well as al-Taqiyya.
  •  
    •  
      • We embrace the role that free expression plays in bolstering religious tolerance. 
    No sentient person, informed of the damnable doctrines & practices of Islam, will ever tolerate its existence! Free expression does not bolster tolerance, it bolsters exposure and awareness! You spoke of a one sided free expression, limited to false praise of Islam, not extending to honest criticism.
  •

    Only Islam and Muslims advocate violence; we advocate laws to expel and exclude Islam's fifth column for the purpose of preventing violence. Do you allow rattlesnakes to reside in your house? Excluding rattlesnakes is discriminatory.

    When a Muslim says "education" he means indoctrination.  Nothing exposed in the links provided in this blog post is included in instructional materials used in our educational system, with the exception of some doctoral programs at large universities.     Outreach translates to appeasement.

      • it’s one thing if people are just disagreeing. That is fair game. That’s free speech. 
    They say that "only Allah has the right to be worshiped" and that I must convert or be killed. I say that I have a right to worship or not as I blessed well see fit, without being intimidated or coerced.  They assert a duty to attack us, I assert a right to effective national defense. They say I must be silent, I say that I have an absolute right to expose their evil doctrines & practices.

      •  if it results in the destruction or the defacement or the vandalization of religious sites, 
    In Africa, Arabia, & Asia, Muslims burn down churches, with Christians in them.  That results from what is preached in their local mosques, not what we write in our blogs.  We do not incite vandalism, a few  idiots driven over the edge by frustration act on their own free will, without anyone telling them to.

    •  
      • if it even results in imprisonment or death, 
    The trial and execution of a Qur'an in Florida did not result in death. Those deaths and property damage resulted from the rabid preaching at Jumah Salat, not anything anyone said or did over here.

      • then government must held those – hold those who are responsible accountable.
    I'd like to see how you are going to hold Allah & Moe responsible for riots & murders inspired by the Qur'an & Sunnah. Allah is an impotent idol and Moe has been dead since   Do you think you can go to Egypt & Pakistan to arrest, try and incarcerate the rabid Imams who rouse the rabble to riot?  I'd like to see you try it. 

    There is a difference between shouting fire in a crowded theater where there is no fire or rousing a lynch mob and burning a Qur'an.  Exposing the damnable doctrines of Islam in a blog post does not kill anyone or destroy any property.  Property is destroyed and people are killed by Muslims engaged in an act of worship: terrorism.  They don't get their incitement from us, they get it from Islam's canon of scripture, tradition, exegesis & jurisprudence and from their Imams.

      • But I have to say we have one difficulty in understanding all of the problems that we see around the world, and that is
      • that because religion is so personal and because it is something that we highly value in ourselves,
    No, it ain't and anybody smarter than a Moron can see it after a little investigation. Ignorant & indolent Morons like you project the western concept of religion onto Islam, which it does not fit.  We view religion as a beneficent & anodyne agency of theology & interpersonal relationships.  Religions are our source of much of our morality & ethics. 

    Islam is presented and accepted by Muslims as the absolute rule of Allah, which must be obeyed in all times, at all places. It governs every facet of human life from conception through burial.  It dictates how they eat, how they defecate and how they wipe their butts. It also imposes upon them a demonic mandate to conquer and subjugate the entire world.  Go to Amazon.com and get a copy of Reliance of the Traveller or Volume II of hedaya and start reading. You can learn much from the table of contents.

    Islam is not a benign, anodyne & benevolent theology, it is a continuing criminal enterprise; a war crime against humanity motivated by filthy lucre: "The Spoils of War".  After reading the first verse, skip ahead to 41, then 60 & 67.  Turn next to 33:26-27 and  48:15-20.   Turn next to Sahih Muslim 19.4327Sahih Bukhari 4.52.220,  & 4.52.267.  If, after checking those references, you can not correctly answer the following review questions, its time to consider suicide to protect the gene pool.

  1. To whom do the spoils belong?
  2. Who gets the top 20%?
  3. What was Moe's motivation?
  4. What is Allah's motivation? [Hint: it ain't getting Moe into his celestial bordello.]
  5. What was the net effect of casting terror?
  6. What did Allah promise Muslims?
  7. What is the legal status of taking spoils?
  8. What did Allah give Moe?
  9. How did Muslims invest the treasures of the Persian & Byzantine Empires?

      •  it strikes us as troubling that people are not confident in their religious beliefs
      • to the point where they do not fear speech that raises questions about religion. 
    Muslims are hypersensitive because their faith is false.  The ruling class is in the know, it is likely that many of the clerical class are true believers. They do not want the Ummah to find out. 

    Christians have a long chain of fulfilled Jewish prophecies to base their faith on.  Muslims have only Moe's word. Islam begins and ends with Moe, who co-opted Jewish Prophets in hopes of deceiving the local Jews.  The trick did not work; the Jews laughed him to scorn, recognizing the fraud.

    Go to a hadith search engine such as Islamic Network and search Sahih Bukhari  for these terms, without the quotes: "was revealed", "inspiration" and "your wishes and desires".

      • every one of us who is a religious person knows that there are some who may not support or approve of our religion.
      • But is our religion so weak that statements of disapproval will cause us to lose our faiths? 
    Moe was extremely sensitive to criticism, so much so that he ordered his companions to kill several critics.  One clear example is in the hadith  where we can easily find it, others are buried in  The Life of Muhammad and  Tabari's TahrikAnswering Islam has several of the relevant accounts.

      • That would be most unfortunate. In fact, what we have found, in study after study, is that the United States is one of the most religious countries in the world. And yet anybody can believe anything and go anywhere.
      • And so there is no contradiction between having strong religious beliefs and having the freedom to exercise them and to speak about them and to even have good debates with others.
    Res. 16/18 puts some emphasis on inter-religious dialog, assuming that it will deaden our awareness of the existential conflict between Islam and Christianity. When Pope Benedict XVI lectured at Regensburg, Muslims raised hell and a large number of the Ulema wrote a missive entitled A Common Word Between Us and You. in which they called for dialog to find "common ground".  The central concept of the missive is drawn from Surah Al Imran 3:64.  That ayeh ends with this sentence: "Bear witness that we are Muslims"; those are fighting words.  Read the context through #112.  Those threatening words were used in Moe's extortion letter to Heraclius

    To see how Moe conducted dialog with Christians (demanding that they curse themselves) turn to this topic in Tafsir Ibn Kathir: The Challenge to the Mubahalah.

      • Now, the fact is that no matter how strongly each of us believes, none of us has the benefit of knowing all the truth that God holds in his hands
    Nobody knows for certain, but Islam asserts a claim of certainty that it alone has a monopoly on truth and that our religion is in error.

    •  
      • And therefore, we are doing the best we can here on earth to reflect and to give honor to our creator in a way that is manifest in our religious values. Because truly, at the root of every major religion, is a connection with the divinity, 
    The root of Islam is war, not a connection with divinity.  Search the hadith for "inspiration", you will discover how Moe got his "revelations": in epileptic seizures. In the first instance, he thought that he had wrestled with the devil but his wife convinced him that he had encountered an angel.  Take another good long look at 8:67;' that is some connection with "divinity".

      • Now I know that some in my country and elsewhere have criticized this meeting and our work with all of you.
    •  
      •  But I want to make clear that I am proud of this work, and I am proud to be working with every one of you. And I believe that this work is an affirmation of America’s values, but equally important an affirmation of universal values
   Since when is anal osculation either an American or universal value?  Lifting Satan's tail & inserting tongue  solves nothing. Abandoning our precious, hard won right to speak and write the truth is not an American value.  American values include life, liberty, property, pursuit of happiness and defeating our enemies. Yielding liberty to our enemies is the polar opposite of American values.

      • Because we nor – no country individually has a monopoly on the truth, and we will do better when we live in peace with each other, 
    In 1789 we were willing to live in peace with the entire world but the Barbary pirates were not willing to live in peace with us. They attacked our shipping and demanded tribute, which nearly bankrupted the young nation. When asked by what right they attacked us, the Algerian Ambassador replied in terms which parallel the reply of Umar's field commander to the Persians in Sahih Bukhari 4.53.386.     Peace will only be possible after Islam is eliminated because Islam is permanent war.

      • when we live with respect and humility, and listen to each other. And it is important that we recognize what we accomplished when this resolution ended 10 years of divisive debate where people were not listening to each other anymore.
    It is abundantly clear from the recent statements of Akram & ishanoglu, as well as the Islamophobia Reports, that  the change is purely rhetorical, a semantic game at which our side lost.

      • Now we are. We’re talking. We have to get past the idea that we can suppress religious minorities
    This is a terrible place to use the royal we .  It is Islam, not America that suppresses indigenous religious minorities.  There is an external 'religious' minority which has infiltrated a fifth column into America with moles in high places in defense, intelligence and security agencies.  We need to expel and exclude them. You condemn the only recourse we have a priori.

      • that we can restrict speech,
    When you create a legal construct which ties what we utter and publish with the completely unrelated actions of unrelated people on other continents, completely beyond our control, assigning blame to us for what they do on their own accord, then you are attempting to restrict free speech by forcing self-censorship.  You are, in effect, erecting a heckler's veto and abandoning the First Amendment.

      • that we are smart enough that we can substitute our judgment for God’s and determine who is or is not blaspheming. 
    Open Reliance of the Traveller to O8.0 and start reading, continuing through O8.7; get a clue!

    •  
      • And by bringing countries from around the world here,
      • we are affirming our common humanity
      • and our common commitment to defend and promote fundamental rights.
    I doubt that any falser words were ever uttered in the history of mankind. We are committed to defend and promote fundamental rights, Muslims are not; Muslims are committed to the abrogation of our rights.  Islam denies the sanctity of our blood and property, declaring that we have no rights until we become Muslims. Those denials are contained in Moe's declaration  quoted in Sahih Bukhari 1.8.387. Projecting our own values onto the enemy is a suicidal blunder.

      • We can think others are wrong, but we don’t feel so insecure and so fearful of their wrong views that we try to suppress them, imprison them, or even kill them.
    Ten years ago, 19 Muslims hijacked four passenger aircraft and flew three of them into occupied office structures.  They shouted "Allahu akbar!" while slitting the throats of the flight crews. Subsequently, other Muslims, acting in the name of Allah, bombed subways in Madrid and London and seized a school in Beslan.  Get a clue!  In the last 1400 years, 270*106  innocent people lost their lives to Islam.  If we do not eradicate Islam, either ideologically or militarily, they will out breed &  out last us and civilization will be destroyed.
