When I heard a sound bite on ABC radio news, I struggled to come up with a headline. I have settled on this:
Same Excrement, Different Day.
President Barack Hussein Obama never tires of repeating the same al-Taqiyya; I tire of refuting his lies, but I will continue because I view truth as a sacred value which must be preserved in order to preserve liberty. As usual, I will take the worst lies out of context and refute them. Those desiring the whole sack of feces can choose between the video:
Press Conference Video and the
transcript.
"As I said in Cleveland on Wednesday, I ran for President because I believed the policies of the previous decade had left our economy weaker and our middle class struggling. They were policies that cut taxes, especially for millionaires and billionaires, cut regulations for corporations and for special interests, and left everyone else pretty much fending for themselves. They were policies that ultimately culminated in a financial crisis and a terrible recession that we’re still digging out of today. "
The policies that weakened our economy belong to the
Lib
Tards in Congress and the White House, both Democrat and Republican. There is no free lunch and no magic wand. Due to the intentional destruction of our system of education, the general public lacks the knowledge of economics necessary to anticipate the stream of lies coming from hucksters & politicians. They did not learn from the .com bubble, so they bought into the housing bubble and got stung again.
This story has three morals:
- Get politicians & union goons out of the education system.
- Caveat Emptor!!!
- Never vote for a LibTard!!!
It is not possible to spur economic growth by wasting vast sums on boodoggles and increasing the national debt. It is necessary to get more money into the hands of consumers and increase their confidence in the economy. Everything Obama proposes is counterproductive.
"And finally, tomorrow we will commemorate not only the heartbreak of September 11th, but also the enduring values and resilient spirit of America. Both Michelle and I will be joining our fellow citizens in remembering those who were lost on that day and honoring all who exhibited such extraordinary heroism in the midst of tragedy. I’ll have further remarks tomorrow, but for now let me just note that tomorrow is a National Day of Service and Remembrance and I hope each of us finds a way to serve our fellow citizens -- not only to reaffirm our deepest values as Americans, but to rekindle that spirit of unity and common purpose that we felt in the days that followed that September morning."
heartbreak of September 11th
This demagogue can enrage me without making an effort. Expressions like that make my blood boil. Evil men, motivated by the evil doctrines of an evil institution committed an evil act designed to destroy our economic strength and crush our will to resist. There are empty chairs at three thousand dinner tables because of that act.
enduring values of America
Those words are polluted by passage through the lips of demagogues who have no respect for our God given rights to life, liberty, property; freedom of speech, religion, assembly & petition. Islam is a predatory way of life, not a religion. It has a religious component which serves to motivate its murderers and camouflage their mercenary mission. It is 180° out of phase with each and every one of those American values to which the demagogue alluded. None of those are applicable to it.
National Day of Service and Remembrance
Shanghai us into slavery in the guise of honoring the dead. Christ save me, how I hate that liar!!! A day of cursing Islam and renewing our resolve to destroy it completely.
deepest values as Americans
Those alluded to above, which are enshrined in the Declaration of Independence & Constitution which Obama hates and violates. Abomination!!!
spirit of unity and common purpose
Unity in cursing the evil institution which inspired the murderous act of war which killed three thousand and did billions of dollars of economic damage. Unity in seeking national security; in the urge to prevent further attacks. Unity destroyed by carping demagogues and their willing accomplices in the media. Common purpose wasted by a weak President who could not bring himself to name and declare war against the enemy.
"I think that at a time when the country is anxious generally and going through a tough time, then fears can surface, suspicions, divisions can surface in a society. And so I think that plays a role in it."
suspicions, divisions can surface
Translation: "Islamophobic bigots are blaming Muslims for every evil on the face of the earth--scapegoating them as Hitler scapegoated Jews." No rational person is blaming our economic situation on Muslims or their war cult. They own the blame. for the accursed abomination of nine years ago and subsequent attacks both failed and successful.
"One of the things that I most admired about President Bush was after 9/11, him being crystal-clear about the fact that we were not at war with Islam. "
not at war with Islam
Muslims, motivated by the damnable doctrines of Islam, which promise them forgiveness of sins and eternal carnality in Allah's celestial bordello, attacked us in the name of Allah, as they are commanded to do by that demon. They shouted "Allahu Akhbar!" while slitting the throats of the flight crews. Islam declared and prosecuted war against us So, why the Hell are we not at war against it?
Deniers are damned fools, Shrub included. More than two hundred years ago, the Barbary Pirates sacked our shipping and nearly bankrupted the new nation with demands for tribute. When asked by what right they attacked us, they gave a very enlightening answer.
"
The ambassador answered us that [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." [Wikipedia]
- founded on the laws of the Prophet
- written in their Koran
- those not submissive are sinners
- right and duty to make war on them
- martyrs going to heaven
Is there some part of the Muslim's answer to Adams & Jefferson that you can not comprehend? What part of it escapes Obama's comprehension?? When caliph Umar sent his army to Persia, the Persian general asked a question similar to Jefferson's and received a similar answer. This crucial quote comes from
Sahih 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."
- Prophet ordered us to fight you
- martyrs go to Paradise
- survivors will be your master
Can you see the parallels? Can you connect the dots? Why can't Shrub & Obama??? They can but they won't, because Shrub was not comfortable with the fact that he had two options: to kill 1.3 billion people or break their faith so that they would no longer be Muslims obligated to wage war against us. Obama won't because he is one of them. His father was Muslim; Islam passes through patriarchy. A Muslim's children are Muslims, by Islamic law. If Obama had a genuine conversion, he would
condemn Islam because he knows its evil from the inside.
"We were at war with terrorists and murderers who had perverted Islam, had stolen its banner to carry out their outrageous acts."
terrorists and murderers
Read "Muslims". Terrorism is an intrinsic sacrament of Islam. "
I will cast terror", "
so strike them over the necks, and smite over all their fingers and toes", "
to strike a terror", "
Allah cast terror",
"I have been made victorious with terror". How do you refute the Islamic record of what Allah & Moe said and did?
perverted Islam
In the previous paragraph, I gave you quotes from the Qur'an & hadith. Allah said that he would and did "cast terror". Moe said that he was made victorious with terror. What part of that do you not comprehend? I gave you links; click them and read multiple translations of the Qur'an and one translation of Sahih Bukhari.
`Who perverted Islam? Allah said something about war. I will quote one of those statements, an imperative commanding Muslims to wage war against Jews, Christians & Zoroastrians. This quote is from J.M. Rodwell's translation, linked to multiple translations.
9:29. 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.
What did Allah command Muslims to do? Most of the translators give it as fight. What does it mean? Moe told his companions what it meant to him, who is more expert in interpreting his revelations?
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." [Emphasis added.]
That Islamic scripture & oral tradition are codified in Shari'ah; Islamic law. I quote from Reliance of the Traveller, the handbook of Shafi'ite Fiqh.
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), [Emphasis & link added.]
- Make war upon...
- ordered to fight
- caliph makes war
What did Al-Mughira say to the Persian general? What did Sidi Haji Abdrahaman say to Adams & Jefferson? Then on what quicksand does Obama stand while asserting that Islam has been "perverted"? Moe set the standard of Islam with his recitation and actions. Islamic law, founded on that recitation & sunnah, obligates Muslims to wage war against disbelievers, aggressive, offensive warfare on Islamic initiative at least one attack per year. President Obama is a liar and a traitor. I direct doubters & dissenters to
Reliance of the Traveller, Book o9.0 through 9.9. Clueless morons who believe that those imperatives are anachronistic or metaphorical are directed to the following resources for correction. The last listed item will disabuse you of the delusion that Moe only fought defensive battles.
"And I was so proud of the country rallying around that idea, that notion that we are not going to be divided by religion; we’re not going to be divided by ethnicity. We are all Americans. We stand together against those who would try to do us harm. "
not going to be divided
by religion
by ethnicity
How can anyone hear or read those words without cursing? Obama and his party have made a career of racial & ethnic division as well as economic class warfare which is exemplified early in his press conference. He demands that a Mosque be erected on Ground Zero but says nothing about a Greek Orthodox Church that has been frustrated by bureaucrats for nine years. America ain't hyphenated.
"And I think it is absolutely important now for the overwhelming majority of the American people to hang on to that thing that is best in us, a belief in religious tolerance, clarity about who our enemies are -- our enemies are al Qaeda and their allies who are trying to kill us, but have killed more Muslims than just about anybody on Earth. "
religious tolerance
First, Islam is a predatory way of life, not a religion. It preys upon the human race. It declared and is prosecuting war against pagan and scriptural disbelievers.
Second, tolerance must be reciprocal; Islam is intolerant. Islam does not tolerate any religion, it only tolerates Islam. Get a clue.
3:85. And whoever seeks a religion other than Islâm, it will never be accepted of him, and in the Hereafter he will be one of the losers.
Islam curses us.
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!
When Islam triumphs over Christians, it imposes draconian legal and social restrictions on them. This quote from Reliance of the Traveller informs us that Christians can not give testimony in trials. Only Muslims can testify!
o24.2 Legal testimony is only acceptable from a witness
who:
(a) is free;
(b) is fully legally responsible (mukallaf, def:
c8.1) (0: as testimony is not accepted from a child
or insane person, even when the child's testimony
regards injuries among ehildren that oeeurred at
play);
(e) is able to speak;
(d) is mentally awake;
(e) is religious (0: meaning upright (024.4)
(A: and
Muslim), for Allah Most High says,
"Let those of rectitude among you testify"
(Koran 65:2),
and
unbelief is the vilest form of corruption, as
goes without saying); [Emphasis added.]
o11.5 Such non-Muslim subjects are obliged to
comply with Islamic rules that pertain to the safety
and indemnity of life, reputation, and property. In
addition, they:
(1) are penalized for committing adultery or
theft, though not for drunkenness;
(2) are
distinguished from Muslims in dress,
wearing a wide cloth belt (zunna:r);
(3) are not greeted with "as-Salamu
'alaykum" ;
(4)
must keep to the side of the street;
(5)
may not build higher than or as high as the Muslims' buildings, though if they acquire a
tall house, it is not razed;
(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.
011.6 They are forbidden to reside in the Hijaz,
meaning the area and towns around Mecca,
Medina, and Yamama, for more than three days
(when the caliph allows them to enter there for
something they need).[Emphasis added.]
Exactly why in Hell should we tolerate a war cult which curses us, denies the sanctity of our blood and property, denies our rights; declares & prosecutes war upon us!??
clarity about who our enemies are
What book contains a clear command to wage war upon us? Whose book is that? Then who the Hell is our enemy!?? "Its Islam, stupid!" Who prays for our defeat? Who burns our flag? Who marches in the streets chanting "Death to America!"? Who carries signs declaring "Freedom go to Hell!"??
The fact that Islam is divided into schismatic sects who hate each other's existence does not make any of them our friends or allies. They have one thing in common: hatred of disbelievers.
"And I will do everything that I can as long as I am President of the United States to remind the American people that we are one nation under God, and we may call that God different names but we remain one nation."
call that God different names
There is one God, aid he ain't Allah! Allah is an ancient deity of pagan Arabia, previously going under different names including Baal and Sin. Read the
Qur'an and see if it reflects the God you worship.
"But I’m also respectful that people of different faiths can practice their religion, even if they don't subscribe to the exact same notions that I do, and that they are still good people, and they are my neighbors and they are my friends, and they are fighting alongside us in our battles."
practice their religion
Does the practice of religion include obedience to religious obligations? Are you aware of the fard al-kifaya of Jihad? It binds all free, able bodied & sane adult male Muslims until a sufficient number have reported to the front. I refer doubters & dissenters to
Reliance o9.1. Muslims can not practice Islam without waging war on us. Its what they do; what Allah purchased them for.
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 . [Emphasis added.]
When disbelievers retaliate and invade Muslim lands, the obligation becomes fard ayn, binding upon all Muslims. If they are overrun, that includes women and children and Muslims wheresoever dispersed over the face of the earth.
Muslims are obligated to obey Allah and his Messenger. What did Allah command them to do? What did Moe do for them to emulate? In the last nine years of his life he started a war every six weeks on the average. Get a clue.
they are my friends
If they are good, obedient Muslims, they are not your friends. Allah expressly forbids friendship & partnership with disbelievers, even if they are parents & siblings.
3:118. O you who believe! Take not as (your) Bitânah (advisors, consultants, protectors, helpers, friends, etc.) those outside your religion (pagans, Jews, Christians, and hypocrites) since they will not fail to do their best to corrupt you. They desire to harm you severely. Hatred has already appeared from their mouths, but what their breasts conceal is far worse. Indeed We have made plain to you the Ayât (proofs, evidences, verses) if you understand.
9:23. O you who believe! Take not for Auliyâ' (supporters and helpers) your fathers and your brothers if they prefer disbelief to Belief. And whoever of you does so, then he is one of the Zâlimûn (wrong-doers, etc.).
"President Abbas and Prime Minister Netanyahu were here last week, and they came with a sense of purpose and seriousness and cordiality that, frankly, exceeded a lot of people’s expectations. What they said was that they were serious about negotiating."
serious about negotiating
There is no limit to treachery & irrationality. There is no peace between Muslims and Jews, never was and never will be. I have a few clues for you in addition to 9:29, previously cited.
7:167. And (remember) when your Lord declared that He would certainly keep on sending against them (i.e. the Jews), till the Day of Resurrection, those who would afflict them with a humiliating torment. Verily, your Lord is Quick in Retribution (for the disobedient, wicked) and certainly He is OftForgiving, Most Merciful (for the obedient and those who beg Allâh's Forgiveness).
Who might Allah send to torment the Jews? Any nominees?
2:191. And kill them wherever you find them, and
turn them out from where they have turned you out. And Al-Fitnah is worse than killing. And fight not with them at Al-Masjid-al-Harâm (the sanctuary at Makkah), unless they (first) fight you there. But if they attack you, then kill them. Such is the recompense of the disbelievers.
Sunan Abu Dawud Abu Dawud 14.2477
Narrated Ibn Hawalah:
The Prophet (peace_be_upon_him) said:
It will turn out that you will be armed troops, one is Syria, one in the Yemen and one in Iraq. Ibn Hawalah said: Choose for me, Apostle of Allah, if I reach that time. He replied:
Go to Syria, for it is Allah's chosen land, to which his best servants will be gathered but if you are unwilling, go to your Yemen, and draw water from your tanks, for
Allah has on my account taken special charge of Syria and its people.
Sahih Muslim 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. [Emphasis added.]
The Roman Province of Syria was conquered by caliph Umar in 638, driving out many Jews and Christians. In 1948, the jews recovered a tiny fragment of their stolen patrimony. Muslims can't tolerate that because land once conquered must forever remain in Muslim hands, it belongs to Allah. Allah promised them a two to one kill ratio and victory. Israel's successful self-defense proves Allah to be an impotent idol. That is the ultimate blasphemy which Muslims will never accept. There will be peace when there are no more Muslims, not until then, no matter what suicidal concessions you force Israel to make.
"The idea that we would burn the sacred texts of someone else’s religion is contrary to what this country stands for. It’s contrary to what this country -- this nation was founded on. And my hope is, is that this individual prays on it and refrains from doing it."
we would burn
The planned Qur'an burning is a private affair, belonging to the church involved, not to the nation as a whole or the government.
contrary to what this nation's foundation
This nation was founded on Judeo-Christian ideals, not Muslim ideals. The founders declared that we are free to choose what, when & how to worship or not. Islam declares that only Allah has the right to be worshiped and that war must be waged to secure that right. The Qur'an contains the conquest imperatives behind the accursed abomination perpetrated nine years ago today. This nation was also founded on the ideal of free expression. Pastor Jones has a right to express his indignation at Islam's demon worship & genocidal conquest.
"But I’m also Commander-in-Chief, and we are seeing today riots in Kabul, riots in Afghanistan, that threaten our young men and women in uniform. And so we’ve got an obligation to send a very clear message that this kind of behavior or threats of action put our young men and women in harm’s way. And it’s also the best imaginable recruiting tool for al Qaeda."
this kind of behavior
Our very existence offends Muslims. Nothing Pastor Jones can do will offend them more than the presence of our troops in Afghanistan. They need no further pretext for hating and attacking us. We can not exacerbate their hatred by any act or omission.
Backing down and suspending or canceling the protest as Pastor Jones has done is the worst possible error. It gives Islam a victory, proof that terror and the threat thereof is effective. It will enhance terrorist recruitment and funding.
My blog posts enrage them. One of my blogs has been banned by Pakistan. What is to stop you from demanding that my free expression of relevant, verifiable factual information be censored? By God I stand on the free speech clause of the First Amendment!!
Our national security is not endangered by those of us who expose & condemn Islam, it is endangered by traitors like you who appease Muslims and fail to eradicate Islam from the face of the earth.
"Well, I think it needs to happen. And we’re going to work with members of Congress -- and this is going to have to be on a bipartisan basis -- to move this forward in a way that is consistent with our standards of due process, consistent with our Constitution, consistent also with our image in the world of a country that cares about rule of law. You can’t underestimate the impact of that. Al Qaeda operatives still cite Guantanamo as a justification for attacks against the United States. Still to this day. And there’s no reason for us to give them that kind of talking point when, in fact, we can use the various mechanisms of our justice system to prosecute these folks and to make sure that they never attack us again."
consistent also with our image
Image be damned! Its the reality that is important, not any image, beauty is in the eye of the beholder. Khalid Sheikh Mouammad and his colleagues signed a confession in which they took pride in what they did, based on Allah's accursed imperatives and Moe's damned example. They need trials like you need a toothache.
Holding prisoners is the greatest possible incentive for fresh attacks because the enemy seeks hostages for exchange. Just usher them into Hell immediately and be done with them!!!
Those are unlawful enemy combatants, not purse snatchers. They do not deserve the privileges & immunities of citizens charged with petty offenses. F.D.R. set a good precedent, follow it.
"Here’s what I think. I think that in this day and age, there are going to be -- there is always going to be the potential for an individual or a small group of individuals, if they are willing to die, to kill other people. Some of them are going to be very well organized and some of them are going to be random. That threat is there. And it’s important, I think, for the American people to understand that, and not to live in fear. It’s just a reality of today’s world that there are going to be threats out there."
willing to die, to kill other people
Being killed in battle against disbelievers is the only guaranteed ticket to the best levels of the celestial bordello. It is also the only certified get out of Hell free card. If they are fully informed and really believe, they will seek martyrdom.
not to live in fear
After the accursed abomination there was anxiety over follow up attacks. During the D.C. Sniper episode, there was great anxiety and a few copy cat attacks. Those attacks are calculated to tear our social fabric, to induce paranoia and make normal life impossible. Ultimately, terrorism is intended to render its victims incapable of mounting an effective defense effort.
There is one and only one solution to this problem: remove the Islamic fifth column from our soil and keep them out. Deport Muslims and ban them from entering. If we won't do that, we won't have security.
"We are tougher than them. Our families and our businesses and our churches and mosques and synagogues and our Constitution, our values, that's what gives us strength. And we are going to have this problem out there for a long time to come. But it doesn’t have to completely distort us. And it doesn’t have to dominate our foreign policy. What we can do is to constantly fight against it. And I think ultimately, we are going to be able to stamp it out. But it’s going to take some time."
churches and mosques
The two do not belong in one sentence. Mosques are places where Muslims congregate to curse us and pray for our defeat. Seventeen times each day they remind Allah of why he wants to burn us; how we went astray or earned his wrath. Mosques are their armories. Recently, fifteen Muslims died in a Mosque in Afghanistan when their bomb detonated prematurely.
Religious faith is part of our strength. According to S.K. Malik's
Qur'anic Concept of War, destroying faith is a necessary prerequisite to instilling terror.
"With respect to the mosque in New York, I think I’ve been pretty clear on my position here, and that is, is that this country stands for the proposition that all men and women are created equal; that they have certain inalienable rights -- one of those inalienable rights is to practice their religion freely. And what that means is that if you could build a church on a site, you could build a synagogue on a site, if you could build a Hindu temple on a site, then you should be able to build a mosque on the site."
all men and women are created equal
Islamic law says that we can not build churches or maintain existing churches. Islamic law says that we can not testify in court. Islamic law says that the testimony of one man is equal to that of two women.
build a mosque on the site
The St. Nicholas Greek Orthodox Church stood across the street from the towers. It was crushed when they collapsed. The bureaucrats of the Port Authority have given them the run around for nine years, they celebrated Christmas in a tent. But the Mosque is on the fast track.
practice their religion freely
The practice of Islam involves waging war on disbelievers. President Obama said that Muslims have a right to practice Islam. President Obama is a traitor because he postulates a right to wage war against us. Democrats, ignoramuses and damned fools will deny this. Let them; facts trump emotions..
9:38. O you who believe! What is the matter with you, that when you are asked to march forth in the Cause of Allâh (i.e. Jihâd) you cling heavily to the earth? Are you pleased with the life of this world rather than the Hereafter? But little is the enjoyment of the life of this world as compared with the Hereafter.
9:39. If you march not forth, He will punish you with a painful torment and will replace you by another people, and you cannot harm Him at all, and Allâh is Able to do all things.
"And fortunately, the overwhelming majority of Muslims around the world are peace-loving, are interested in the same things that you and I are interested in: How do I make sure I can get a good job? How can I make sure that my kids get a decent education? How can I make sure I’m safe? How can I improve my lot in life? And so they have rejected this violent ideology for the most part -- overwhelmingly.".
peace-loving Muslims
Hypocrites, not Muslims if they love peace; their Islam goes no deeper than their throats.
interested in
They are interested in pleasing Allah, staying out of Hell and getting into the celestial bordello. Believers sold their souls so that they fight in Allah's cause, "kill others and are killed".
improve my lot in life
In Psychology class, we were taught that all humans share a common hierarchy of needs. Tell that to Allah.
9:38. O you who believe! What is the matter with you, that when you are asked to march forth in the Cause of Allâh (i.e. Jihâd) you cling heavily to the earth? Are you pleased with the life of this world rather than the Hereafter?
But little is the enjoyment of the life of this world as compared with the Hereafter.
6:32. And the
life of this world is nothing but play and amusement. But far better is the house in the Hereafter for those who are AlMuttaqûn (the pious - see V.2:2). Will you not then understand?
6:70. And leave alone
those who take their religion as play and amusement, and are deceived by the life of this world. But remind (them) with it (the Qur'ân) lest a person be given up to destruction for that which he has earned, when he will find for himself no protector or intercessor besides Allâh, and even if he offers every ransom, it will not be accepted from him. Such are they who are given up to destruction because of that which they have earned. For them will be a drink of boiling water and a painful torment because they used to disbelieve.
4:74. Let those (believers)
who sell the life of this world for the Hereafter fight in the Cause of Allâh, and whoso fights in the Cause of Allâh, and is killed or gets victory, We shall bestow on him a great reward. [Emphasis added.]
"The other reason it’s important for us to remember that is because we’ve got millions of Muslim Americans, our fellow citizens, in this country. They’re going to school with our kids. They’re our neighbors. They’re our friends. They’re our coworkers. And when we start acting as if their religion is somehow offensive, what are we saying to them? "
their religion is somehow offensive
What? Declaring unending warfare against the rest of the human race is not offensive? Declaring women to be half as intelligent and half as valuable as a man is not offensive? Declaring a right to enslave and rape non-Muslim women is not offensive? Declaring a right to enslave non-Muslim children is is not offensive?
Sanctifying terrorism & genocide is not offensive? Co-opting Jesus Christ as a genocidal warlord is not offensive?
"I’ve got Muslims who are fighting in Afghanistan in the uniform of the United States armed services. They’re out there putting their lives on the line for us. And we’ve got to make sure that we are crystal-clear for our sakes and their sakes they are Americans and we honor their service. And part of honoring their service is making sure that they understand that we don’t differentiate between them and us. It’s just us. "
Have you so soon forgotten what Maj. Nidal Malik Hasan did? How can anyone be sure that those enlisted Muslims are loyal, not just biding their time for the maximum return on their investment?
