American Hero: You!

This well produced high impact video leads into a statement of need for a hero. Those expecting nomination of a high profile national savior will be disappointed. Uncle Sam's finger of selection points to the viewer.

    The video identifies problems, hinting at causes, leaving the solutions to you. In the end, it says "send the hippies home".  In other words, send in the rational, sane, sober conservative adults. 

    Your role is joint & several, not solitary. You are not Mr. Smith going to Washington to single handedly set things right. No individual can do that. The House has 435 members, the Senate has 100.  We need a multitude of Mr. Smiths, working in unity & agreement.

    Your role is to select those who will govern rationally & in good faith to replace the porkers feeding at the trough.  Don't let George do it.  Don't assume that George will do it. Expect that George will join you in voting right, but reserve the knowledge that he might fail. Recruit someone to take his place or reinforce him and go with them to the polling place.  Cast your votes for the most conservative candidates available.

    Whenever possible, vote LibTards & RINOs out of office.  Vote for the smallest possible number of incumbents.  We don't need compromisers, negotiators, log rollers and back scratchers. We need statesmen with solid  conservative core principles who will not accept the false premises postulated by LibTards & RINOs.

    After voting, phone your conservative friends & family, if they have not voted, exhort them to do it. When its all over, don't roll over and go back to sleep. Eternal vigilance is the price of liberty.  It is time to begin selecting candidates for the 2012 primary cycle.  In that year, we will have an excellent chance of bringing about an effective change of power in the Senate; the Democrats will be extremely vulnerable.  We must exploit that vulnerability!  Your vote won't be worth a tinker's dam if there are no conservative candidates in the general election. The primaries, conventions & caucuses are crucial; if we botch them, we lose.

    Voting is both an individual and collective act.  If we botch it individually, we will botch it collectively. Your rational vote won't be effective if the majority are swayed by packaged images & false promises. Your vote won't count at all if you do not cast it.  Be part of the solution, not a contributor to the  problem; vote  as if your future liberty and prosperity depend on it because they do.

    November 2, 2010 is general election day for real Americans. LibTards, RINOs and hyphated-Americans  vote on Wednesday.

Explaining Islam's Prime Directive & Answering Objections

Posted in response to:

The Key Point of the Whole Argument

Wherein  Citizen Warrior discussed one of the principal objections to the fatal fact of Islam, which Citizen Warrior refers to as its "prime directive", that being global conquest.

This should be the key point of any public education we engage in: That it's an essential part of Islam to wage jihad until the whole world submits to Islamic law. Once that point is accepted, all things that need to be understood can be understood easily.

But how can you get someone to accept that fact as a fact?

Citizen Warrior next brought up an attempt to edit the Qur'an. That set me off on a long comment which was more than blogspot would accept, so here it is.

    K.M. and others are either suffering from supreme cognitive dissonance or practicing al-Taqiyya.   "Allah's Word." "Allah's Word." God damn it, what part of that key phrase escapes comprehension?????!  Have all lost track of the concept of literalism?  The Qur'an is not relative, it is literal!!!

"Allah's Word."  Let that sink in for a moment.

    Allah commanded a pen to write. What it wrote is on a sealed tablet, guarded by angels. It is protected from editing, immune to change.  "Allah's Word. "
Allah recited it to Jibril, who recited it to Moe. Moe recited it to the Muslims, who memorized it.  "Allah's Word."  Have you no clue??? "Allah's Word." !!!  "Allah's Word." !!!

I have a clue for you.

2:59. But those who did wrong changed the word from that which had been told to them for another, so We sent upon the wrong-doers Rijzan (a punishment) from the heaven because of their rebelling against Allâh's Obedience. (Tafsir At-Tabarî, Vol. I, Page 305).

What did the Jews do?  Who said that?? Whose word is it?

7:162. But those among them who did wrong changed the word that had been told to them. So We sent on them a torment from heaven in return for their wrong-doings.

What did those Jews do?  Whose word??

14:28. Have you not seen those who have changed the Blessings of Allâh into disbelief (by denying Prophet Muhammad  and his Message of Islâm), and caused their people to dwell in the house of destruction?

What did they do to earn Hell?  Whose word??

50:28. Allâh will say: "Dispute not in front of Me, I had already, in advance, sent you the threat.

50:29. The Sentence that comes from Me cannot be changed, and I am not unjust (to the least) to the slaves."

"Allah's Word!"

"Allah's Word!"

"Allah's Word!"

Has it sunk in yet??

6:115. And the Word of your Lord has been fulfilled in truth and in justice. None can change His Words. And He is the All­Hearer, the All­Knower.

"None can change His Words." Whose words?  Which words??

18:27. And recite what has been revealed to you (O Muhammad ) of the Book (the Qur'ân) of your Lord (i.e. recite it, understand and follow its teachings and act on its orders and preach it to men). None can change His Words, and none will you find as a refuge other than Him.

"None can change His Words" Whose words?  Which words???

10:64. For them are glad tidings, in the life of the present world (i.e. righteous dream seen by the person himself or shown to others), and in the Hereafter. No change can there be in the Words of Allâh, this is indeed the supreme success.

"No change can there be in the Words of Allâh,". Whose words? Which words????

30:30. So set you (O Muhammad ) your face towards the religion of pure Islâmic Monotheism Hanifa (worship none but Allâh Alone) Allâh's Fitrah (i.e. Allâh's Islâmic Monotheism), with which He has created mankind. No change let there be in Khalq­illâh (i.e. the Religion of Allâh Islâmic Monotheism), that is the straight religion, but most of men know not. [Tafsir At­Tabarî, Vol 21, Page 41]

"No change let there be in Khalq­illâh"

35:43.  (They took to flight because of their) arrogance in the land and their plotting of evil. But the evil plot encompasses only him who makes it. Then, can they expect anything (else), but the Sunnah (way of dealing) of the peoples of old? So no change will you find in Allâh's Sunnah (way of dealing), and no turning off will you find in Allâh's Sunnah (way of dealing).

"So no change will you find in Allâh's Sunnah"

Sahih Bukhari Volume 9, Book 88, Number 174:

Narrated Sahl bin Sa'd:

I heard the Prophet saying, "I am your predecessor at the Lake-Fount (Kauthar), and whoever will come to it, will drink from it, and whoever will drink from it, will never become thirsty after that. There will come to me some people whom I know and they know me, and then a barrier will be set up between me and them." Abu Sa'id Al-Khudri added that the Prophet further said: "I will say those people are from me. It will be said, 'You do not know what changes and new things they did after you.' Then I will say, 'Far removed (from mercy), far removed (from mercy), those who changed (the religion) after me! "

"'Far removed (from mercy), far removed (from mercy), those who changed (the religion) after me!"  Far from mercy: roasting in the fire. Changed the religion after me: edited Allah's Words; introduced innovation.

Sahih Bukhari Volume 8, Book 76, Number 585:

Narrated Abu Hazim from Sahl bin Sa'd:

The Prophet said, "I am your predecessor (forerunner) at the Lake-Fount, and whoever will pass by there, he will drink from it and whoever will drink from it, he will never be thirsty. There will come to me some people whom I will recognize, and they will recognize me, but a barrier will be placed between me and them." Abu Hazim added: An-Nu'man bin Abi 'Aiyash, on hearing me, said. "Did you hear this from Sahl?" I said, "Yes." He said, " I bear witness that I heard Abu Said Al-Khudri saying the same, adding that the Prophet said: 'I will say: They are of me (i.e. my followers). It will be said, 'You do not know what they innovated (new things) in the religion after you left'. I will say, 'Far removed, far removed (from mercy), those who changed (their religion) after me." Abu Huraira narrated that the Prophet said, "On the Day of Resurrection a group of companions will come to me, but will be driven away from the Lake-Fount, and I will say, 'O Lord (those are) my companions!' It will be said, 'You have no knowledge as to what they innovated after you left; they turned apostate as renegades (reverted from Islam)."

"they turned apostate as renegades (reverted from Islam)."  What did they do to earn the fire?

From 5:3 
...This day, I have perfected your religion for you, completed My Favour upon you, and have chosen for you Islâm as your religion....

Exactly how will you improve that which is perfected?!? You will not improve Allah's perfection, you will only defile it.  Got a clue yet? If not, there is nothing I can do to help you.

    Fard: religious obligation. Two basic kinds: fard ayn: universal binding on every individual, such as salat & zakat; also defensive jihad when Dar-al-Islam is invaded.  Fard al-Kifaya: binding on all eligibile individuals until a sufficient number have answered the call; offensive jihad.

From Reliance of the Traveller, Book o, Chapter 9, Section 1:

"Jihad is a communal obligation (def: c3.2).  When enough people perform it to successfully accomplish it, it is no longer obligatory upon others "

"If none of those concerned perform jihad, and it does not happen at all, then everyone who is aware that it is obligatory is guilty of sin, if there was a possibility of having performed it."

"As for subsequent times, there are two possible states in respect to non-Muslims.

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

That is Islamic law. Jihad is defined in the previous section, as war against non-Muslims.

"Meaning upon the Muslims each year". What does that mean? How is it interpreted?  What did Moe do?  In the last 9 years of his life, he started a war every six weeks on the average. 

Got a clue yet?  I have a clue for you.

"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),
"

What does the caliph do?  Why? 

o9.9

The caliph fights all other peoples until they become Muslim

What does the caliph do?  Why??

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.

What?  Fight. Terminal condition: only Allah is worshiped; everywhere. There is the obligation to conquer the entire world. That is the why of o9.8 & o9.9 in Reliance of the Traveller. 

    "Muslims don't do that". Explain the conquest of Arabia, Africa, Asia & Europe. Muslims don't do that, so what the Hell is your explanation?  How did Spain & Bosnia become Muslim? 

    "Muslims don't believe that." They ain't Muslims, they are hypocrites. Go to http://www.quranbrowser.com and search for hypocrites.  Then read 9:38-39.

I have another clue for you.

13:36. Those to whom We have given the Book (such as 'Abdullâh bin Salâm and other Jews who embraced Islâm), rejoice at what has been revealed unto you (i.e. the Qur'ân) , but there are among the Confederates (from the Jews and pagans) those who reject a part thereof. Say (O Muhammad ): "I am commanded only to worship Allâh (Alone) and not to join partners with Him. To Him (Alone) I call and to Him is my return."

"but there are among the Confederates (from the Jews and pagans) those who reject a part thereof. " Islam is not cafeteria Catholicism; it is all or nothing. Selectivity is proscribed!

    What is the definition of believers? The answer is in 8:2 & context, not clearly explicated. You need to track down several key words. 

49:15. Only those are the believers who have believed in Allâh and His Messenger, and afterward doubt not but strive with their wealth and their lives for the Cause of Allâh. Those! They are the truthful.

"strive with their wealth and their lives for the Cause of Allâh" What does that mean?  I have a clue for you.

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 .

"They fight in Allâh's Cause, so they kill (others) and are killed. " That phrase defines believers. No jihad, no belief; hypocrisy.

Muslims are obligated [fard al-kifaya] to conquer the entire world for Allah. Why?  What did Allah say?  What did Moe do?  I have a clue for you.

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."

What was Moe ordered to do? Muslims are ordered to do that, too. I have a clue for you.

33:21. Indeed in the Messenger of Allâh (Muhammad ) you have a good example to follow for him who hopes in (the Meeting with) Allâh and the Last Day and remembers Allâh much.

Muslims are commanded to emulate Moe. Moe was commanded to conquer the world.

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."

What did Moe order them to do?  Why? 

"Allah's Word."  Get it yet?

Hector Aleem Update 10-25-'10

Today I received the following update on the persecution of Hector Aleem. As always, there is a desperate need for money to pay his lawyer and  a  mob outside the courtroom howling for Hector's head.  

    The first  video did not work for me on the first try, all I got was sound, nothing comprehensible.  On the second try I got a street scene.

    Discussion of the situation in Pakistan takes up 19 pages of Freedom House's new report on  Policing Belief, you will find it to be full of valuable background information.   Discussion of Hector Aleem's persecution is on page 83.

Mehwish Aleem October 25 at 5:46pm 

Dear Group Members

First of all I’d like to welcome new members.
As you all know that the trail of Our Father is at the end and as you all know that there is nothing against us and the mullahs knows that. That is why they are now pressurizing the judge to give the decision in their favor. As we always tells you that Mullahs gather outside the court and chant slogans against Christianity and daddy. We made their videos secretly. It is not allowed to take any camera inside the court and it was very dangerous for us to make this video. The judge is giving the hearings day by day. And we have to go to the court almost daily. These are two videos we made, one with the cell phone because the cell we got is not of good quality that is why the first video is of very bad quality but today we managed to take the camera of our aunt (mom’s sister) and we made this video. You can see that the Maulvies are gathered outside the court and the guy in brown turban is the plaintiff and the lawyer came out of the court is the plaintiff’s lawyer. In the end they chanted GIVE DEATH PUNISHMENT TO THE BLASPHEMER but we couldn’t film that part because we were so panicked that someone would catch us so we could not capture that moment.
Now I have request to all blogger friends to upload this video on your blogs and tell your friends that Hector’s life is in danger and someone should help us. We really need to pressurize the government and no body for the asylum has contacted us yet. We really need to bring daddy out of this situation. Please help us and please donate as much as you can. And those who cannot donate please tell your friends to do so. And also please pray for us. We are afraid that the judge can easily be pressurized by those Mullahs and give decision against daddy. Please take a look at those two video, you can find them by clicking those two links.

To donate through Pay Pal you can click this link: http://tinyurl.com/hectoraleem

And for sending your donations through Western Union or any other way please contact me

These are the links of both videos:

This is the Saturday hearing 22 October 2010:

And this one is Today’s i.e. 25 October 2010:

Obamination: "endowed by their Creator'"

Obamination: "endowed by their Creator" I found this video clip at The Party of Know.  President Barack Hussein Obama was using a teleprompter when he omitted the crucial phrase "endowed by their Creator" from the Declaration of Independence.  Since that was not the only incidence of omission, we can assume that it was deliberate, not accidental.

    In a recent rant on his radio show, Sean Hannity asked why the President made that omission. The general assumption would be that he did so in  compliance with the ACLU/AUSCS party line which denies the Creator any role in government.   By the same token, we might assume that he included the phrase in a later speech because of political heat stirred up by Hannity and other commentators.  I will offer a different, less benign explanation.

    Islamic doctrine includes a tactic of  casting terror¹ to weaken its victims, rendering them incapable of  effectively resisting Islamic conquest.  The modern implementation of that tactic involves the destruction of the victim's faith. The following quote is from a Pakistani Army training manual by Brig. S.K. Malik: The Quran'ic Concept of War. [Emphasis added.]

To instill terror into the hearts of the enemy,  it is essential, in the ultimate analysis, to dislocate his Faith. An invincible Faith is immune to terror. A weak Faith offers inroads to terror. The Faith conferred upon us by the Holy Quran has the inherent strength to ward off terror from us and to enable us to strike terror into the enemy. Whatever the form or type of strategy directed against the enemy, it must, in order to be effective, be capable of striking terror into the hearts of the enemy. A strategy that fails to attain this condition suffers from inherent drawbacks and weaknesses; and should be reviewed and modified. This rule is fully applicable to nuclear as well as conventional wars. It is equally true of the strategy of nuclear deterrence in fashion today. To be credible and effective, the strategy of deterrence must be capable of striking terror into the hearts of the enemy.

    To succeed in terrorizing us, Islam must first weaken or destroy our faith in God.  Since the end of WW2,  Communists have been attempting to erode our faith for the purpose of easing the triumph of Communism.  In my opinion, President Obama is attempting to erode our faith to ease the triumph of Islam.

ARRA News Service informs us that President Obama committed the phrase on three occasions, and recently included it. They provide video clips of one omission and one inclusion.

The fountainhead of terrorism: "Its Islam, stupid!". [Emphasis added.]

1. 3:151  We shall cast terror into the hearts of those who disbelieve, because they joined others in worship with Allâh, for which He had sent no authority; their abode will be the Fire and how evil is the abode of the Zâlimûn (polytheists and wrong­doers).
2. 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."  
3. 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.
4. 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.
5. 33:26  And those of the people of the Scripture who backed them (the disbelievers) Allâh brought them down from their forts and cast terror into their hearts, (so that) a group (of them) you killed, and a group (of them) you made captives.
6. 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).
7. 59:13  Verily, you (believers in the Oneness of Allah - Islamic Monotheism) are more awful as a fear in their (Jews of Bani An-Nadir) breasts than Allah. That is because they are a people who comprehend not (the Majesty and Power of Allah).
8. Sahih Bukhari 1.7.331  Allah made me victorious by awe, (by His frightening my enemies) for a distance of one month's journey.  
9. Sahih Bukhari 4.52.220  I have been made victorious with terror (cast in the hearts of the enemy)

 

Synod of Sin: Mideast Catholics Sell Out

Synod of Sin: Mideast Catholics Sell Out At the end of the Middle East Synod, a statement was issued. I found it at Asia News.  As I expected, it reflects dhimmitude & lunacy.  I have excerpted what I perceive as the worst of it, added emphasis to it and will respond critically.  Use the link above to read the entire statement in context. Superscripts in the text are linked to my comments below. After reading a comment, use your back button to return to the text.

We have taken account of the impact of the Israeli-Palestinian¹ conflict² on the whole region, especially on the Palestinians¹ who are suffering the consequences of the Israeli occupation³: the lack of freedom of movement, the wall of separation and the military checkpoints⁴, the political prisoners⁵, the demolition of homes⁴, the disturbance of socio-economic life⁶ and the thousands of refugees⁷. We have reflected on the suffering and insecurity in which Israelis live⁸. We have meditated on the situation of the holy city of Jerusalem. We are anxious about the unilateral initiatives⁹ that threaten its composition and risk to change its demographic balance¹⁰. With all this in mind, we see that a just and lasting peace¹¹ is the only salvation for everyone and for the good of the region and its peoples.

Recourse to theological and biblical positions which use the Word of God to wrongly justify injustices¹² is not acceptable. On the contrary, recourse to religion must lead every person to see the face of God in others and to treat them according to their God-given prerogatives and God’s commandments, namely, according to God's bountiful goodness, mercy, justice and love for us.

We are united by the faith in one God¹³ and by the commandment that says: do good and avoid evil. The words of the Second Vatican Council on the relations with other religions offer the basis for the relationship between the Catholic Church and the Muslims: “The Church regards with esteem also the Muslims. They adore the one God¹³, living and subsisting in Himself; merciful and all- powerful, the Creator of heaven and earth, who has spoken to men” (Nostra aetate 3).

We say to our Muslim fellow-citizens: we are brothers and sisters; God wishes us to be together, united by one faith¹⁴ in God and by the dual commandment of love of God and neighbour. Together we will construct our civil societies on the basis of citizenship, religious freedom and freedom of conscience. Together we will work for the promotion of justice¹⁵, peace¹⁶, the rights of persons and the values of life¹⁷ and of the family. The construction of our countries is our common responsibility. We wish to offer to the East and to the West a model of coexistence¹⁸ between different religions and of positive collaboration between different civilisations for the good of our countries and that of all humanity.

We address you regarding the importance of equality¹⁹ among all citizens. Christians are original and authentic citizens who are loyal to their fatherland and assume their duties towards their country. It is natural that they should enjoy all the rights of citizenship, freedom of conscience, freedom of worship and freedom in education, teaching and the use of the mass media.

We appeal to you to redouble your efforts to establish a just and lasting peace²⁰ throughout the region and to stop the arms race, which will lead to security and economic prosperity and stop the hemorrhage of emigration which empties our countries of its vital forces. Peace is a precious gift entrusted by God to human family, whose members are to be “peacemakers who will be called children of God” (Mt 5:9).

The citizens of the countries of the Middle East call upon the international community, particularly the United Nations conscientiously to work to find a peaceful, just and definitive solution²¹ in the region, through the application of the Security Council’s resolutions²² and taking the necessary legal steps to put an end to the occupation of the different Arab territories²³.

The Palestinian¹ people will thus have an independent and sovereign homeland where they can live with dignity and security²⁴. The State of Israel will be able to enjoy peace and security within their internationally recognized borders. The Holy City of Jerusalem will be able to acquire its proper status, which respects its particular character, its holiness and the religious patrimony²⁵ of the three religions: Jewish, Christian and Muslim. We hope that the two-State-solution²⁶ might become a reality and not a dream only.

We condemn violence and terrorism from wherever it may proceed²⁷ as well as all religious extremism. We condemn all forms of racism, anti-Semitism, anti-Christianism and Islamophobia²⁸ and we call upon the religions to assume their responsibility to promote dialogue between cultures and civilisations in our region and in the entire world.

1. "The Palestinian people does not exist. The creation of a Palestinian state is only a means for continuing our struggle against the state of Israel for our Arab unity. In reality today there is no difference between Jordanians, Palestinians, Syrians and Lebanese. Only for political and tactical reasons do we speak today about the existence of a Palestinian people, since Arab national interests demand that we posit the existence of a distinct "Palestinian people" to oppose Zionism." ...[Zahir Muhsein, P.L.O. Executive Cmte. Quoted in World Net Daily]
2. The conflict between Islam and disbelievers is global, not local. Wheresoever Islamic terror & genocide are dispersed over the face of the earth, the conflict is one, dictated by Surah Al-Anfal & Surah At-Taubah. Allah's immutable & timeless book commands Muslims to wage war upon pagans, Jews, Christians & Zoroastrians until only Allah is worshiped, all resistance ceases and the "people of the book" are subjugated and submit to continuing extortion. 
3. Israel is occupied, not occupying. The land belongs to Jews, not to Muslims.  Read the history at Palestine Facts.
4. If Muslims were not waging war against Jews, there would be no security measures to complain about. The Jewish state is obligated to protect her citizens. She could obliterate her attackers or erect barriers to keep them out. Which is more humane?
5. What political prisoners? Is Israel holding anyone who was not directly involved in, aware of or planning & facilitating terror attacks?  Would you be happier if Israel simply killed them instead of arresting and imprisoning them?
6. Everything you complain about would come to an end if the genocidal attacks would end. Falestinians do not want prosperity, they want genocidal conquest.
7. There would be no refugees if the Muslims had not attacked Israel in 1948. Nasser told them to leave and clear the way for pushing the Jews into the sea. Israel does not deserve blame for that.
8. All of your emphasis is on the self-imposed suffering of Israel's enemy. The whole affair is a function of Islam's determination to destroy Israel and exterminate the Jews. Why can't you acknowledge that fact and face reality?
9. Who built the city and made it their nation's capital? For what good reason should Jews be denied the right to construct housing and live in their capital city?  In 1948, Jordan illegally seized half the city and excluded Jews from it. They desecrated cemeteries & synagogues. Was that unilateral? Why do you ignore it?
10. Jerusalem is a Jewish city; it is the capital of Israel. Why should it be half full of Muslims?  Why should Jews be excluded from any part of their capital city?
11. The conflict is existential. Peace is only possible if one side or the other is exterminated. If the aggressors exterminate the defenders, is that justice?  The conflict flows from the Jews of the Hijaz recognizing Moe's fraud and scorning him. He designed Islam to appeal to Jews. They knew what he had done and rejected Islam. His first conquests were against those Jews. He said something which should hold your attention.
    
      He said to them, "If you embrace Islam, you will be safe.You should know that the earth belongs to Allah and His Apostle, and I want to expel you from this land. So, if anyone amongst you owns some property, he is permitted to sell it, otherwise you should know that the Earth belongs to Allah and His Apostle."  [Sahih Bukhari 4.53.392]
    
    He said something else, which indicates to the intelligent, open minded reader, that his intent is genocidal. They will not stop until they kill the last Jew, because admission to Paradise is dependent on that act.
    
    "The Hour will not be established until you fight with the Jews, and the stone behind which a Jew will be hiding will say. "O Muslim! There is a Jew hiding behind me, so kill him." [Sahih Bukhari 4.52.177]
    
    The identity of the aggressor becomes clear after reading another hadith in which Moe expresses his intent.
    
    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. [Sunan Abu Dawud 14.2477]
12. Is there a way to rightly justify injustices?  Where is the justice in driving Jews out of their homeland? Where is the justice in demanding that Judea & Samaria be Judenrein; exclusively for Muslim Arabs?? Where is the justice in rewarding the aggressors with land?  What precedent does that set for other "conflicts"?
13. There is one God, and Allah ain't him. If you think that Allah & Jehovah are one and the same, you have a new thought coming. Compare:
    
    John 3:16 (King James Version)

     

     ¹⁶For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.
    
    
    The Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, said, 'Allah, the Blessed, the Exalted, created Adam. Then He stroked his back with His right hand, and progeny issued from it. He said, "I created these for the Garden and they will act with the behaviour of the people of the Garden." Then He stroked his back again and brought forth progeny from him. He said, "I created these for the Fire and they will act with the behaviour of the people of the Fire." [Malik's Muwatta 46.1.2]
    Self-sacrifical love and arbitrary predestination do not describe the same entity unless that entity is severely schizophrenic.
14. You should be "united by one faith" with the Muslims? So convert to Islam if  you really believe that.  Conversion is a one way street in Arabia, so conversion to Islam is your only path to unity. 
15. To Islam, justice means "just us". 
16. To Islam, peace means what they enjoy when their global conquest is completed successfully.  
17. Muslims do not value life, they value conquest. Achieving Shahid status is their only guaranteed Get Out of Hell Free Card.
    
    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.
    13:26. Allâh increases the provision for whom He wills, and straitens (it for whom He wills), and they rejoice in the life of the world, whereas the life of this world as compared with the Hereafter is but a brief passing enjoyment.
    61:10. O You who believe! Shall I guide you to a commerce that will save you from a painful torment.

    61:11.  That you believe in Allâh and His Messenger (Muhammad ), and that you strive hard and fight in the Cause of Allâh with your wealth and your lives, that will be better for you, if you but know!

18. There is no coexistence with Islam. Islam conquers.
    
    The Messenger of Allah stated that no two religions should remain in the Arabian Peninsula, and the Jews and Christians should be expelled from it, all praise is due to Allah. [The Good News that Islam shall prevail]
19. Under Islamic law, you ain't equal, you are inferior.
    
    1. You can not hold public processions, prayers, or funerals.
    2. You can not build or maintain churches. 
    3. You can not testify in court. 
    4. Your life is worth only one third as much as a Muslim's. 
20. Peace is the absence of Islam.  While there is Islam, peace is impossible.  This is be cause Islam is permanent war. 8:39 & 9:29 command it. Sahih Bukhari 1.8.387 confirms it. Reliance of the Traveller o9.8 & 9.9 codify it.  "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 "[Sunun Abu Dawud 14.2526]
21. A solution can not be real or peaceful unless it removes Islam from a radius = rocket range around Jerusalem.  It can not be just unless it leaves Israel in full sovereignty over  Eretz Yisrael. 
22. Those resolutions are unjust, biased and without foundation in morality. They are not a foundation for peace.
23. Eretz Yisrael is not Arab territory. President Obama is ending our occupation of Iraq. We'll let the Sunni & Shi'ia kill each other. 
24. They have no homeland; their homelands are Egypt, Jordan, and other places from which they migrated to Israel. They can have no dignity while enslaved to Allah. To obtain dignity, they must abandon Islam  and join the human race. As Muslims, they are the threat to security.
25. Islam's stake in Jerusalem is strictly proscriptive: a game of keep away. Their only claim to the city resides in Moe's nightmare.
26. Two states: Israel & Jordan. There is no need for a third: Fallestine, since it is a fallacy; pure malicious malarkey. 
27. The fountainhead of terrorism: "Its Islam, stupid!".
    
    1. 3:151
    2. 8:12
    3. 8:57
    4. 8:60
    5. 33:26
    6. 59:2
    7. 59:13
    8. Sahih Bukhari 1.7.331
    9. Sahih Bukhari 4.52.220
28. If you condemn antisemitism & Christianophobia, then you must condemn Islam, because the Qur'an is full of them. By condemning criticism of Islam and revelation of its true nature, you demonstrate your own moral corruption. So, you want to dialogue with Islam? Then open a conversation about Christ's paternity, deity, crucifixion, resurrection & what he will do when he returns. According to Moe, when Jesus comes back, he is going to lead the Muslims in the final battle to exterminate you and the Jews.  That is a great starting point for your cherished dialogue.
    

 

Interfaith Harmony Week

This headline leads at the web page of A Common Word: H.R.H. Prince Ghazi bin Muhammad delivers King's World Interfaith Harmony Week proposal at UN. 

    The first week of February is now set aside as World Interfaith Harmony Week.  You know, peace, love and all that good stuff. The Prince explained why he spoke of harmony in the Chinese sense, not tolerance or acceptance. The crucial quote appears below; click the link above to read the whole address. 

In the very title of the resolution and in the second operative paragraph and elsewhere, the word ‘harmony’ is used in the Chinese sense of the term. We add it to the term ‘tolerance’ (which we have also used) because ‘tolerance’ can suggest that the other is so negative they have to be ‘tolerated’; we cannot use ‘acceptance’ because it implies that religions accept each other’s doctrines rather than their right to those doctrines and this is not the case; we cannot use the term ‘peace’ alone because it suggests merely the absence of war, and not necessarily the absence of hatred. Only the Confucian concept of ‘harmony’ can rescue us here because it suggests not merely ‘peace’, but also ‘beautiful and dynamic interaction between different elements within a whole’.

    Does anyone else perceive the irony?  The King's Ambassador of peace, speaking at the palace of peace, bears the name Ghazi.  A Ghazi is one who fought alongside Muhammad in the early ghazwat which established and spread Islam in the Hijaz.

    Prince Ghazi quotes a hadith which I can not find, this variant conveys the same message.

Sahih Muslim  Book 001, Number 0073:

It is narrated on the authority of Anas that the Prophet (may peace blessings be upon him) observed: By Him in whose Hand is my life, no, bondsman (truly) believes till he likes for his neighbour, or he (the Holy Prophet) said: for his brother, whatever he likes for himself.

The next hadith conveys a slightly different message which merits careful attention.

Sahih Muslim Book 001, Number 0074:

It is narrated on the authority of Abu Huraira that the Messenger of Allah (may peace and blessing be upon him) observed: He will not enter Paradise whose neighbour is not secure from his wrongful conduct.

So, a Muslim must love his brother [neighbor] and avoid harming him in order to obtain admission to Paradise.   Is that the equivalent of Christian brotherly love for one's neighbor?  Or is it only applicable if they are Muslims?

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.).

9:24. Say: If your fathers, your sons, your brothers, your wives, your kindred, the wealth that you have gained, the commerce in which you fear a decline, and the dwellings in which you delight ... are dearer to you than Allâh and His Messenger, and striving hard and fighting in His Cause , then wait until Allâh brings about His Decision (torment). And Allâh guides not the people who are Al-Fâsiqûn (the rebellious, disobedient to Allâh).

What does that really mean? Turning to Ibn Kathir's Tafsir, we discover that a similar verse, 58:22, was revealed in connection with a particular incident.

Al-Hafiz Al-Bayhaqi recorded that `Abdullah bin Shawdhab said, "The father of Abu `Ubaydah bin Al-Jarrah was repeatedly praising the idols to his son on the day of Badr, and Abu `Ubaydah kept avoiding him. When Al-Jarrah persisted, his son Abu `Ubaydah headed towards him and killed him. Allah revealed this Ayah in his case

    In the same topic, Ibn Kathir relates a hadith which should give us pause whenever we hear Muslims talk of peace.

(If you transact in `Iynah (a type of Riba), follow the tails of cows (tilling the land), become content with agriculture and abandoned Jihad, Allah will send on you disgrace that He will not remove until, you return to your religion.)'' Sunan Abu Dawud 23.3455

That saying makes commerce & agriculture disfavored alternatives to jihad which will bring disgrace to Muslims. Abandoning jihad is equated with abandoning Islam. If you don't know what jihad is, or you think that it is jihad an-nafs, refer to the definition in the footnote to 2:190 or Reliance of the Traveler o9.0.

    How shall we harmonize with a cult which reminds Allah 17 times each day why he wants to burn us? 

1:7. The Way of those on whom You have bestowed Your Grace, not (the way) of those who earned Your Anger (such as the Jews), nor of those who went astray (such as the Christians).

How shall we harmonize with a cult which curses us and declares war against us? 

2:159. Verily, those who conceal the clear proofs, evidences and the guidance, which We have sent down, after We have made it clear for the people in the Book, they are the ones cursed by Allâh and cursed by the cursers.

2:160. Except those who repent and do righteous deeds, and openly declare (the truth which they concealed). These, I will accept their repentance. And I am the One Who accepts repentance, the Most Merciful.

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.

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.

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!

How shall we harmonize with a cult which denies the paternity, deity, crucifixion, death & resurrection of Jesus Christ and depicts him as a genocidal warlord who will "kill the Jews? 

    "A Common Word Between Us And You" is a missive from the learned scholars of Islam to Pope Benedict XIV and other leaders of Christianity. Due to its length & target density, I created a new blog to dissect it.
