The plan Mr. Edwards presented yesterday - which he dubbed “A Strategy to Shut Down Terrorists and Stop Terrorism Before It Starts” - calls for a 10,000-person “Marshall Corps” to deal with issues ranging from worldwide poverty and economic development to clean drinking water and micro-lending. He said investing in those areas would shore up weak nations and help ensure that terrorism does not take root there. That, he said, would allow the country to stop potential terrorists before they even join the ranks.
The paragraph quoted above is from the New York Sun. The AssIdiot quoted by the N.Y. Sun suggests that :
- fighting poverty will “shut down” & “prevent terrorism before it starts”
- economic development will ”shut down” & “prevent terrorism before it starts”
- clean drinking water will ”shut down” & “prevent terrorism before it starts”
- micro-lending will ”shut down” & “prevent terrorism before it starts”
- investment in failed third world nations will ”ensure that terrorism does not take root there”
- all of the above listed would prevent activation of potential terrorists.
The above listed idiotic assertions are based on an unstated false premise:
- Islamic terrorism is a grievance driven; resulting from economic & social conditions.
John Edwards is a practicing lawyer, an ex-Senator ex-Vice Presidential candidate and now seeks his party’s nomination for President. How is it possible that such a high caliber individual is unaware of:
- Peace Corps
- UNESCO
- World Bank
- rapid development in the Gulf Emirates
- rapidly escalating oil revenues in the region?
Have those factors prevented terrorism? Have they reduced terrorism? And exactly how will more of the same have any beneficial effect?
Together now, lets take a firm grip on Mr. Edward’s shoulders and pull his head out of the orifice where it is stuck. Careful, don’t muss his hair.
- Usama bin Ladin is a multi millionaire, the son of a super rich construction contractor.
- Ayman al-Zawahiri is a pediatrician, able to earn plenty of money in his profession.
- Sheik Khalid Mohammed is a western trained engineer.
- Many of the splodydopes are law & medicine students.
Get a Godblessed clue!!! Islamic terrorism does not result from poverty, deprivation, etc. What does cause it?
- 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).
- 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.”
- 59:2. He it is Who drove out the disbelievers among the people of the Scripture (i.e. the Jews of the tribe of Banî An-Nadîr) 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 Allâh! But Allâh’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).
- 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.
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).
- Volume 1, Book 7, Number 331: 1. Allah made me victorious by awe, (by His frightening my enemies) for a distance of one month’s journey.
- 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.”
Review Quiz:
- To what does Presidential Aspirant John Edwards attribute Islamic terrorism?
- Do the leaders of al-Qaeda and the splodydopes fit that pattern?
- What did Allah say about terror?
- What did Muhammad say about terror?
- What did Allah say about fighting?
- What did Muhammad say about fighting?
- Whom are Muslims commanded to obey?
- Whom are Muslims commanded to emulate?
The bottom line: Islamic terrorism results from belief in and obedience to orthodox Islamic doctrine, not economic nor social conditions. Ending poverty will not end terrorism. Clean water & modern plumbing/sanitation will not end terrorism. Education will not end terrorism. Only eradicating Islam from the face of the earth will end terrorism.
Take action:
- If you comprehend the fatal fact, demand that aspirants to the Presidency and other offices quit lying about Jihad & terrorism. Disrespectfully demand that they cease using qualifiers in conjunction with Islam. The problem is standard, orthodox, off the shelf Islam, not some mythical ‘radicalism’, ‘fundamentalism’ nor ‘extremism’.
- Copy this article and post it in your own blog or web site.
- Email it to your friends and relatives.
- If you don’t comprehend the fatal fact; if you believe Mr. Edwards, then burn your voter registration card immediately; you’re too stupid to be allowed to vote.
