Islamophobia & Moderation
This installment occurs out of sequence because its publication was stimulated by Tawfik Hamid’s Opinion Journal editorial: How to End ‘Islamophobia‘.
What does Islamophobia mean? Lets examine the definition of phobia.
Three out of the first five definitions include irrational; the other two include unrealistic. When they attach the Islamophobe label to us, irrational & unrealistic come along for the ride.
Is fear & loathing of Islam irrational? Only if Islam is benign. If Islam is aggressive, with a track record of aggression, then the fear & loathing are neither irrational nor unrealistic. What did Allah say?
- 3:151 We shall cast terror into the hearts of those who disbelieve
- 8:12 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.
- 59:2 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).
Allah declares that he will cast terror into our hearts, commands Muhammad and his slaves to decapitate and mutilate us so that we can not be resurrected and declares what he did to the Bani An-Nadir to be a warning to instill fear in us.
What did Muhammad say ?
- Bukhari 1.7.331 Allah made me victorious by awe
- Bukhari 4.52.220 I have been made victorious with terror
But those are anachronisms, which applied only in ancient times, in particular places and situations, when Islam was attacked. In a pig’s sphincter!!
- 2:216 Jihâd is ordained for you
- 8:39 fight them until there is no more Fitnah and the religion will all be for Allâh Alone
- 9:29 Fight against those who believe not in Allâh, … among the people of the Scripture , until they pay the Jizyah with willing submission, and feel themselves subdued.
- Abu Dawud 14.2526 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).
- Bukhari 4.53.386 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.”
In light of those damnable declarations and in light of the genocidal depredations against India, Assyria, Armenia, Israel, Madrid, London, Beslan, New York City and Washington D.C., I submit to you: fear & loathing of Islam ain’t irrational. Islamophobia is a false slogan cooked up for propaganda.
Tawfik Hamid quotes the OIC’s recent diatribe. From Arab News:
The ministers described Islamophobia as a deliberate defamation of Islam and discrimination and intolerance against Muslims. …
…the foreign ministers termed Islamophobia the worst form of terrorism and called for practical steps to counter it.
How can one possibly defame an institution so evil as Islam?! Revealing the damnable doctrines & practices of the demon’s own murder cult is “the worst form of terrorism“?!! Worse than the Beltway Snipings?! Worse than Beslan?!! That excrement would gag a maggot!!!
“The linkage of terrorists and extremists with Islam in a generalized manner is unacceptable,”
Can you find a more flagrant example of analencephalopathy? Who would ever think of linking Islam with terror? The links are solid, and on display in Islam’s canon of scripture, if anyone would take the time to read them!
Back to Dr. Hamid’s editorial.
To bring an end to Islamophobia, we must employ a holistic approach that treats the core of the disease. It will not suffice to merely suppress the symptoms. It is imperative to adopt new Islamic teachings that do not allow killing apostates (Redda Law). Islamic authorities must provide mainstream Islamic books that forbid polygamy and beating women. Accepted Islamic doctrine should take a strong stand against slavery and the raping of female war prisoners, as happens in Darfur under the explicit canons of Shariah (”Ma Malakat Aimanikum”). Muslims should teach, everywhere and universally, that a woman’s testimony in court counts as much as a man’s, that women should not be punished if they marry whom they please or dress as they wish.
First, he assumes that Islamophobia is real; that our fear & loathing are irrational & unrealistic. Nobody can make that claim with a straight face after the Abomination.
He says that new Islamic teachings must be adopted. He wants to write killing apostates, polygamy & wife beating out of the Qur’an. Ain’t it strange that he makes no mention of terrorism & Jihad?
I have some bad news for Dr. Hamid: Allah’s word is perfect and timeless. Perfection can only be defiled; never improved. Allah said that his word can not be changed.
- 6:115 None can change His Words.
- 10:15 ”Say (O Muhammad): “It is not for me to change it on my own accord; I only follow that which is revealed unto me. Verily, I fear if I were to disobey my Lord, the torment of the Great Day (i.e. the Day of Resurrection).”
- 10:64 No change can there be in the Words of Allâh
- 18:27 None can change His Words
- 30:30 No change let there be in Khalqillâh (i.e. the Religion of Allâh Islâmic Monotheism),
Exactly what part of No change; None can change His Words do the proponents of reform not comprehend?!
Muslims should–must–develop strategies to rescue our religion by combating the tyranny of Salafi Islam and its dreadful consequences.
Dr. Hamid expects us to be ignorant of the fact that Salafists are emulators of Muhammad. Salafis did not invent Islamic terrorism; Muhammad did, he bragged about being made victorious by terror. Islam is what Allah said & Muhammad did. It is what it is; it can not be reformed. Muslims are commanded to obey Allah and his Apostle; that’s what Salafis do.
