Islam Demands Censorship!!!

Thanks and a tip of the hat to Creeping Shariah for the tip off.  A search for transcripts proved fruitless. It appears that the Daily Caller is the root source for the crucial quotes.  The Justice Department met with Islamicists to discuss discrimination: "Confronting Discrimination in the Post-9/11 Era: Challenges and Opportunities Ten Years Later"

to redefine criticism as discrimination, said Sahar Aziz,

The word “Muslim,” she said, “has become racialized. … I don’t accept this formalistic cop-out that this is all about religion.”

Aziz’s advocacy was supported by a second Islamist advocate, Islamic Society of North America president Mohamed Magid. He argued that “teaching people that all Muslims are a threat to the country… is against the law and the Constitution.”

"redefine criticism as discrimination"  

    A Muslim law professor expressed confidence that the sharp DOJ lawyers can redefine criticism of Islam as discrimination to make it illegal.  The familiar context of discrimination is "whites only", excluding racial minorities from public accommodations. 

   

"formalistic cop-out that this is all about religion"

    Your race; skin color & physiognomy ain't at issue; neither is religion. The issue is adherence to a set of doctrines which inculcate hatred of and incite violence against all non-Muslims.  The redefinition concept is neither original nor an empty threat. The UN has already proclaimed it. 

The following quote is from Preliminary document of the African Regional Conference Preparatory to the Durban Review Conference  [Emphasis added.] 4.  Emphasizes the urgent need to address the scourges of anti-Semitism, Christianophobia, and Islamophobia as contemporary forms of racism as well as racial and violent movements based on racism and discriminatory ideas directed at African, Arab, Christian, Jewish, Muslim and other communities;

“teaching people that all Muslims are a threat to the country"

    All Islamic believers are threats to the country. This is because they are obligated to participate in global conquest. I refer doubters & dissenters to the all purpose handbook of Shafi'ite fiqh aka Shari'ah: Reliance of the Traveller.

O9.1: The Obligatory Character of Jihad

Jihad is a communal obligation (def: c3.2).  When enough people perform it to successfully accomplish it, it is no longer obligatory upon others (O: the evidence for which is the Prophet's saying (Allah bless him and give him peace),

"He who provides the equipment for a soldier in jihad has himself performed jihad,"

and Allah Most High having said:

"Those of the believers who are unhurt but sit behind are not equal to those who fight in Allah's path with their property and lives. Allah has preferred those who fight with their property and lives a whole degree above those who sit behind. And to each, Allah has promised great good" (Koran 4:95).

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. In the time of the Prophet (Allah bless him and give him peace) jihad was a communal obligation after his emigration (hijra) to Medina. 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.

The second state is when non-Muslims invade a Muslim country or near to one, in which case jihad is personally obligatory (def: c3.2) upon the inhabitants of that country, who must repel the non-Muslims with whatever they can).

All Muslims are potential threats.

    Secular o in name only Muslims can 'get religion' and become believers without warning.  Islamic hate literature, web sites, clerics and friends may convince a secular Muslim of the validity of Allah; his jihad imperative, threat and promise. 

    When someone believes that his eternal destiny: paradise or the fire is dependent on his participation in genocidal conquest, what will he do?  Once their numbers are sufficient to confer a degree of  impunity, they will obey Allah, emulate Moe, and attack the disbelievers nearest them. 

   

But they aren't all attacking us.

    Did every Muslim participate directly in the conquests of Arabia, Egypt, Syria & India?   Islamic conquest is fard al-kifaya, binding on all until a sufficient number have responded, not fard ayn.  Read Reliance O9.1 again.  Muslims are obligated to join the jihad when called. 

criticism of Islam: illegal

    How is it possible that revealing these fatal facts about Islam is "discrimination" and "against the Constitution"?  Only when we are intimidated or conquered!
When Muslims conquer dar ul-harb,  Jews, Christians & Zoroastrians living in the former domain of war are subjected to Islamic law.  Reliance of the Traveller, O11.10 lists five acts which break the contract of dhimmitude, subjecting the violator to the death penalty.

-5- or mentions something impermissible about Allah, the Prophet (Allah bless him and give him peace), or Islam.

    What is "impermissible to mention" ? Reliance O8.7 lists 20 acts which entail apostasy. Here are the most relevant items from that list. 

-4- to revile Allah or His messenger (Allah bless him and give him peace);

-5- to deny the existence of Allah, His beginingless eternality, His endless eternality, or to deny any of His attributes which the consensus of Muslims ascribes to Him (dis: v1);

-6- to be sarcastic about Allah's name, His command, His interdiction, His promise, or His threat;

-7- to deny any verse of the Koran or anything which by scholarly consensus (def: b7) belongs to it, or to add a verse that does belong to it;

-15- to hold that any of Allah's messengers or prophets are liars, or to deny their being sent;

-16- to revile the religion of Islam;

-19- to be sarcastic about any ruling of the Sacred Law;

-20- or to deny that Allah intended the Prophet's message (Allah bless him and give him peace) to be the religion followed by the entire world (dis: w4.3-4) (al-Hadiyya al-`Ala'iyya (y4), 423-24). )

    Reviling Islam, Allah or Moe gets one killed; any and all criticism of Islam is fatal under Islamic law. That is what they are seeking to subject us to.  The purpose is to render us defenseless against demographic subversion & militant jihad alike.  This is akin to outlawing criticism of Nazism during  WW2.

Justice Department: Counter-Terrorism Training or Indoctrination?

Salam Al-Marayati, President of the MPAC, has an interesting op-ed piece in the Los Angeles Times.  Lets focus on the important points.

"Law enforcement and intelligence agencies' continued use of anti-Muslim training materials could lead to the collapse of a critical partnership with the Muslim American community."

training materials

    Exactly what "anti-Muslim" training materials are they using?  I want to see a list of the texts & audio-visual materials involved.  Are those materials objective or subjective; what if anything is wrong with their content?

partnership

    Allah expressly forbids Muslim-kuffar partnerships in several ayat including 3:28, 3:118 & 60:1. [Click these links for parallel translations,  the next set for context.]

3:28. Let not the believers take the disbelievers as Auliyâ (supporters, helpers, etc.) instead of the believers, and whoever does that will never be helped by Allâh in any way, except if you indeed fear a danger from them. And Allâh warns you against Himself (His Punishment), and to Allâh is the final return.

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.

60:1. O you who believe! Take not My enemies and your enemies (i.e. disbelievers and polytheists, etc.) as friends, showing affection towards them, while they have disbelieved in what has come to you of the truth (i.e. Islâmic Monotheism, this Qur'ân, and Muhammad ), and have driven out the Messenger (Muhammad ) and yourselves (from your homeland) because you believe in Allâh your Lord! If you have come forth to strive in My Cause and to seek My Good Pleasure, (then take not these disbelievers and polytheists, etc., as your friends). You show friendship to them in secret, while I am All-Aware of what you conceal and what you reveal. And whosoever of you (Muslims) does that, then indeed he has gone (far) astray, (away) from the Straight Path .

    Have MPAC & CAIR  leaders jeopardized eternal destiny by allying themselves with disbelievers or are they practicing al-taqiyya by creating a false appearance of partnership?

FBI training Materials

    Al-Marayati refers to Wired Magazine's Danger Room Blog as his source for his description of the FBI's training materials. Here are his main points:

• bigoted and inflammatory views on Muslims
  • devout Muslims more violence prone
  • Islam aims to drag victims back to the 7^th century
  • Zakat funds combat
  • Muhammad lead a violent cult.  

devout Muslims more violent

    Two ayat define believers as those who "fight in Allah's cause", which is to make Islam dominate the world.

• 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 . 
• 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. 

Who is more likely to engage in jihad: the secular or Muslim in name only or the believer who accepts Allah's threat and promise at face value? drag victims

Islam seeks to drag its victims back to the 7^th century

    Islam seeks to impose Shari'ah: the laws derived from Moe's recitation & sunnah, upon the entire world. That includes lapidation, lashing & amputation as punishments for crimes.

Zakat funds combat

    Shari'ah requires Muslims to pay zakat of 2.5% on accumulated wealth and financial transactions.  The rules of zakat are codified in Reliance of the Traveller, Book H.  There are eight categories of recipients of zakat who receive equal shares;  the seventh category is those fighting in Allah's cause. H8.17

Muhammad lead a violent cult

    If you can find a good working definition of cult, we can argue whether or not Islam was a cult under Moe's leadership. The Branch Dividians of Waco were said to be a cult because their leader arranged marriages and exploited children.  Moe also arranged marriages and exploited a child.  Leaving the cult issue aside, was Islam violent under Moe's leadership?  Several slides in Gawthrop's PowerPoint presentation are derived from the table of contents of The Life of Muhammad.  Those slides consisted of the names of raids, battles, attacks and conquests engaged in or ordered by Moe.

    Part III is the Migration, wars, triumph and death. It begins on page 219 and spans through 678.  Moe personally participated in 17 battles. How peaceful.

Here are the relevant blog posts by Spencer Ackerman:

• FBI ‘Islam 101′ Guide Depicted Muslims as 7th-Century Simpletons
• FBI Teaches Agents: ‘Mainstream’ Muslims Are ‘Violent, Radical’
• Video: FBI Trainer Says Forget ‘Irrelevant’ al-Qaida, Target Islam
  • Includes video of Wm. Gawthrop describing Islamic law, differentiating it from spiritual matters; concentrating on ideology. This 27:20 video gets detailed; pay close attention.  He goes into "Islamic motivations" for terror attacks. 9:19 into the video, Gawthrop describes organizations as irrelevant and explains why they are irrelevant.
  • Includes a sidebar listing these training documents which consist of Gawthrop's power point presentations.:
    
    • Militancy Considerations

    • Chart: Violence and Adherence to the Torah, Bible and Koran
• Congress Grills FBI Chief About Anti-Islam Training
  • includes some stark descriptions and
  • 5 minute video of testimony before a congressional hearing

Two minutes and forty two seconds into the video  embedded in the last of the cited blog posts, Rep. Jan Schakowsky, D. Il9 reads a list of radicalization indicators including:

• increased isolation from [inaudiable]
• wearing traditional Islamic attire
• growing facial hair
• frequent attendance at a mosque or prayer group
• travel to a Muslim country
• increased activity in pro-Muslim social groups or political cause
• proselytizing
  
  • "If you change Muslim to Christian or Orthodox Jewish, you could find the same kinds of activities." 

    If a Muslim undergoing 'radicalization' seems isolated from his family, it might be because Moe ordered Muslims not to associate with disbelievers.  The baggy pants, long shirt & turban might be warning signs, but not necessary elements of 'radicalization'. 

    Practicing fitra could very well be a sign of 'radicalization'. If a Muslim grows a long beard, shaves his mustache & body hair, those are signs of ardent belief.

    Zealous Muslims are expected to attend the five compulsory prayers every day on a fairly rigid schedule. 

    Hajj is one of the hallmarks of a believer. But pilgrimage to Pakistan is frequently associated with attendance at terrorist training camps.  Dawah is another sign of zealotry.  What  is wrong with police and security personnel observing the initiation and intensification of the listed behaviors?  One who transitions from Muslim in name only to believer is likely to display some if not all of those characteristic behaviors. Any or all of those signs could precede  sudden jihad syndrome. 

    Jews might grow beards and go to the Synagogue.  They might even visit Jerusalem. But how many Jews are hijacking airliners and planting bombs?  Does God command them to conquer the world?  Does he promise them admission to Paradise if they wage war and threaten them with eternal damnation if they shirk? 

    Christians might grow beards, attend Church services frequently, make pilgrimage to Rome & Jerusalem, but how many terrorist acts are perpetrated by zealous Christians?  Did Jesus Christ command them to conquer the world, engage in genocide & practice terrorism?  Did he model those behaviors for them to emulate? 

destructive ideas

"More important, Muslim leaders, not FBI agents, can more effectively battle Al Qaeda's destructive ideas."

    What destructive ideas, and who really owns them?   In his lecture, Gawthrop indicated that winning the war requires combating the ideas which motivate Muslims to wage it.  I will go farther, listing the worst of them with sources & confirmation in Shari'ah.

• Only Allah has the right to rule. [18:26, 33:36]
• Only Allah has the right to be worshiped. [3:2]
• Jihâd (holy fighting in Allâh's Cause) is ordained for you. [2:216]
  • Al-Jihâd (holy fighting) in Allâh’s Cause (with full force of numbers and weaponry) is given the utmost importance in Islâm and is one of its pillar (on which it stands). By Jihâd Islâm is established, Allâh’s Word is made superior, (His Word being Lâ ilaha illallâh which means none has the right to be worshipped but Allâh), and His Religion (Islâm) is propagated.[2:190]
  • Jihad means to war against non-Muslims, and is etymologically derived from the word mujahada signifying warfare to establish the religion.[Reliance of the Traveller, O9.0]
• Fight pagans until only Allah is worshiped on a global scale. [8:39]
  • 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) ) [Reliance o9.9]
• Fight "people of the book" until they are subjugated and submit to extortion. [9:29]
  • 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,... [Reliance O9.8]
• O you who believe! Fight those of the disbelievers who are close to you...[9:123]
• "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...."[9:111]
• "...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...."[9:120]
• Go to Jihad and go to Paradise or go to Hell. [9:38-39, 61:10-12]
• "The destruction of the sword  is incurred by infidels, although they be not the first aggressors, as appears from various passages in the  sacred writings which are generally received this effect." [Hedaya, Volume II, Book IX, Chapter 1, page 141]
• "War must be carried on against the Infidels, at all times, by some party of the Muslims." [Hedaya, Volume II, Book IX, Chapter 1, page 140]
• A Prophet must make great slaughter before ransoming prisoners for profit. [8:67]
• "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." [Sahih Bukhari 1.8.387]
• "We shall cast terror into the hearts of those who disbelieve..." [3:151]
• "I will cast terror into the hearts of those who have disbelieved..."[8:12]
• to strike terror 
  
  • al-Anfal 8:57
  • al-Anfal 8:60

• "Allah cast terror" [33:26]
• "Allah made me victorious by awe, (by His frightening my enemies) for a distance of one month's journey. "[Sahih Bukhari 1.7.331]
• "I have been made victorious with terror" [Sahih Bukhari 4.52.220]

    The ideas outlined above come from Allah's word and Moe's sunnah. They define Islam; normative Islam, neither extremism nor radicalism.  Jihad, genocide & terror are the mainstream, not the right fork of Islam. 

"Biased and faulty training leads to biased and faulty policing."

    Perhaps it would be better to have complete and objective training. Everyone involved in terrorism prevention & prosecution should be required to read all of the following:

• Noble Qur'an: Surahs Al-Baqarah...At-Taubah.  Reading 8 of 113 chapters of that book might bore them, but it won't harm them.
  
• To assure proper comprehension of the meaning of the Qur'an, they should read Tafsir Ibn Kathir for the explanations of those chapters. 
• To see how Moe interpreted those chapters, the FBI, police and CIA should read the relevant hadith, found in Riyad us-Saliheen, Book 11, Chapter 234.
• To learn how those ayat & ahadith are codified in Shari'ah, they should read Reliance of the Traveller, Book O, Chapter 9.0 ...O11.11

    Terrorism is an intrinsic sacrament of Islam, sanctified by Allah's saying that he would and did cast terror and Moe's bragging of being made victorious by casting terror.  Islam and terrorism are inseparable. Barring all reference to Islam in relation to one of its sacraments is the Acme of suicidal insanity.

You've Been Mooned: Combating Defamation of Religions

The Secretary General of the United Nations issued his annual report on combating defamation of religions [Islam] September 23.  I present a link to the report below, along with several important excerpts. I have also included a list of links to various documents referenced in the report. 

A/66/372
Combating defamation of religions
Report of the Secretary-General

This issue came to the front burner in 1999 when the HRC passed the original resolution combating defamation of Islam.  Because of the ensuing  controversy, subsequent resolutions substituted religions for Islam in their titles but their contents belie the distinction without a difference.  My sources confirm the original title, but the document linked above lacks it; I presume it has been bowdlerized.

    It is difficult to find the resolution; in my search for it, I found an important quote attributed to Masood Khan, representing Pakistan at the UN.

"Stereotyping of any religion as propagating violence or its association with terrorism constitutes defamation of religion. It unfortunately breeds a culture of hatred, disharmony and discrimination,"

There is one little problem: the element of falsity.

def·a·ma·tion

    [def-uh-mey-shuhn] 

noun

the act of defaming; false or unjustified injury of the goodreputation of another, as by slander or libel;
calumny: She suedthe magazine for defamation of character. [Emphasis added]

"Islam promotes violence"

"Islam promotes violence" is not defamatory if it is true.  "Terrorism is an Islamic tactic" is not defamatory if it is true.  Those statements do not defame Islam or stereotype Muslims unless they are false. 

    "Islam promotes violence" is either true or false. The veracity of the statement can be verified by reference to Islam's canon of scripture, tradition, exegesis & jurisprudence.  Allah said that he ordained jihad for Muslims.

2:216. Jihâd (holy fighting in Allâh's Cause) is ordained for you (Muslims) though you dislike it, and it may be that you dislike a thing which is good for you and that you like a thing which is bad for you. Allâh knows but you do not know.

Hilali & Khan included a definition of jihad in a parenthetical expression. They give a fuller definition in their footnote to 2:190.  Islamic law defines jihad as "to war against non-Muslims".  Islamic law declares annual military expeditions against disbelievers to be a "communal obligation".  Al-Shafi'i put it this way:

"The least that the imam must do is that he allow no year to pass without having organised a military expedition by himself, or by his raiding parties, according to the Muslims' interest, so that the jihad will only be stopped in a year for a (reasonable) excuse."

Al-Ghazali said something similar:

…one must go on jihad (i.e., warlike razzias or raids) at least once a year...

Islamic law says that the caliph "The caliph (o25) makes war upon Jews, Christians, and Zoroastrians... " In the next section (O9.9) it says that the caliph "fights all other peoples until they become Muslim".   Why would Islamic law  make such statements?   Only because of what Allah & Moe said and did.   "Ordained" was not Allah's last word on the subject.   "Fight them", "fight those who",  "Fight those of the disbelievers who are close to you" . Moe said that he was "ordered to fight the people till they say: 'None has the right to be worshipped but Allah."

What did Moe do to implement those jihad imperatives?  He dictated and dispatched extortion letters, and followed up with his army.  See. for example, the letter to the Jews at Khaibar, and the oral tradition about his raid on them.

    Examine the critical quote again, because I have a prime example for you: "Islam promotes violence".  This is the heading from Book 21 of Malik's Muwatta:  "Section: Stimulation of Desire for Jihad"  The title of Riyad us-Saliheen, Book 11, Chapter 234 is "Obligation of Jihad".  It quotes the relevant ayat & ahadith with commentary. 

    Islam is intrinsically violent, by design. It has not been perverted, distorted nor hijacked; it promotes violence because violence was Moe's source of income.  Doubt this?  How did Allah make Moe wealthy?

    This is not defamation of Islam because it is truthful, proven so by Islam's own canon.  This is not stereotyping of Muslims because Allah stated their obligations, defined believers as those who "fight in" his cause, promised them Paradise if they do and Hell if they don't.  Islam is all or nothing, Muslims are not allowed to select the verses they like.

"Terrorism is an Islamic tactic."

    Most of the Qur'anic references to terror are concerned with what Allah will do to when the world ends. Those are not important to this discussion; the others are. Allah said that he would cast terror.  He said that he cast terror. He said that the Jews were more afraid of Moe and his army than of him.

    Islam Awakened presents a table of 37 parallel translations. Here are some interesting samples from 8:57.

• to strike fear
• then scatter by (making an example of) them those who are in their rear
• deal with them in such a manner that those that follow them should abandon their designs and may take warning
• use them to frighten off anyone who comes in their rear
• set an example of their humiliation serving as a deterrent
  
• make a fearsome example of them
• disperse thou through them those behind them,
  
• make a harsh example of them
• deal with them in such a manner as to deter those behind them
• (by inflicting an exemplary punishment upon them) disperse those behind them
• make them a fearsome example
• so as to strike terror among them
• then thereby strike fear in those that are behind them
•  strike terror in those that are behind them
• make of them a fearsome example

8:60 is another prime source of terror references.

• to strike terror into (the hearts of) the enemies, of Allah and your enemies
• to strike terror into the hearts and minds of Allah's enemy
• you terrorize/terrify with it God's enemy
•  to strike terror thereby
•  so that you may strike terror into the hearts of your enemy
• Cause terror with this (war readiness) amongst the enemy of Allah
•  so that you strike terror into the enemies of Allah
• to frighten thereby the enemy of Allah
  
•  that you may strike terror in (the hearts of) the enemies of God
  
• whereby you may frighten the enemy of ALLAH
• to strike terror into (the hearts of) the enemies, of God
• you shall strike terror through it
• to threaten the enemy of Allah
•  that you may overawe the enemies of Allah
• whereby ye may strike a terror into the enemy of God,
• whereby ye may strike terror into the enemy of God

    Moe also had something to say about how he was made victorious:  " Allah made me victorious by awe, (by His frightening my enemies) for a distance of one month's journey. "; "I have been made victorious with terror ". Who associated Islam with terrorism? 
            

    Back to the report, this paragraph quotes from another big title officer. [Emphasis added.]

79. In March 2011, the Office was informed that church members of the Dove
World Outreach Center in Gainesville, Florida, burned a copy of the Koran. The
incident elicited strong condemnation on the part of the United States Government
and religious leaders from different faiths across the world. It also resulted in
violent reactions, including the killing of United Nations staff and others in
Afghanistan. Both the High Commissioner for Human Rights and the Secretary-
General replied to letters from the Organization of the Islamic Conference
condemning those acts, which divided peoples and societies, and reaffirming the
collective interest of the international community in countering acts of intolerance.
The Secretary-General also condemned the incident and said that such actions
cannot be condoned by any religion. He also condemned the killing of the United
Nations staff in response. In addition, the United Nations Special Rapporteur on
freedom of religion or belief and the Special Rapporteur on contemporary forms of
racism sent joint communications about those incidents.

Qur'an burning

    Pastors Terry & Sapp hosted a moot trial of the Qur'an, conducted in Arabic and spanning four hours prior to the burning.  The trial included a qualified Imam and several expert witnesses, at least two of whom are converts from Islam to Christianity.  Why would they find the Qur'an "guilty" of inciting violence?

    The violent reactions did not result from the trial & burning of the Qur'an, they resulted from rabble rousing Imams spewing hatred at Jumah Salat.  Check out the day and time of those riots. They occurred after Friday prayers. 

    UN staff had nothing to do; no connection to the trial & burning of the Qur'an in Florida.  There is no logical relationship between the two acts.   Peoples and societies are divided by the belief of some that they have a divine obligation to conquer the rest.  What did Allah & Moe say that might give them that conceited idea?

    Qur'an burning is an act of outrage, not intolerance.  The Qur'an does not tolerate the existence of disbelievers. Our right to live and worship as we choose or not is the primary issue at stake.  Islam's canon denies those rights, inciting outrage which is expressed by incinerating Qur'ans. 

    The trial & burning of the Qur'an was not condoned by Christianity, it was performed by two pastors and their congregation.  They burned the book which curses them, condemns them to Hell and commands Muslims to wage war upon them. 

    ¶79 is an obvious demand for legislation to prohibit criticizing Islam & burning Qur'ans.  It blames the innocent for the independent criminal actions of the guilty.

81. General Comment No. 34 recognizes that “freedom of opinion and freedom of
expression are indispensable conditions for the full development of the person ...
they constitute the foundation stone for every free and democratic society”. It
further recognizes that “freedoms of opinion and expression form a basis for the full
enjoyment of a wide range of other human rights”.
82. The General Comment also expounded the extent of lawful restrictions that
can be imposed on the right to freedom of expression, prescribing that any
restrictions to freedom of expression must be compatible with the strict
requirements of article 19, paragraph 3, of the International Covenant on Civil and
Political Rights. The General Comment also deals with the relationship between
articles 19 and 20 of the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights,
prescribing that “a limitation that is justified on the basis of article 20 must also
comply with article 19, paragraph 3”. On this point, it underscores that “it is only
with regard to the specific forms of expression indicated in article 20 that States
parties are obliged to have legal prohibitions”. In every other case — while the State
is not precluded in general terms from having such prohibitions — in which the
“State restricts freedom of expression, it is necessary to justify the prohibitions and
their provisions in strict conformity with article 19”.

    I do not see any sign that Ban Ki-moon shares the opinion of the committee of experts who composed Comment 34. 

88. The Special Rapporteurs emphasized the principle that individuals rather than
religions per se are rights-holders. Whereas the debate concerning the dissemination
of expression which may offend the adherents of religions or faiths has throughout
the past 12 years evolved around the notion of “defamation of religions”, they
welcomed the fact that the debate appeared to be shifting to the concept of
“incitement to national, racial or religious hatred”. In his thematic report at the
sixteenth session of the Human Rights Council,3 the Special Rapporteur on freedom
of religion or belief noted that school education could and should contribute to the
elimination of negative stereotypes, which often poison the relationship between
different communities. He stressed that such negative stereotypes had particularly
detrimental effects on minorities and with regard to religious or belief communities.
The Special Rapporteur highlighted the importance of eradicating stereotypes and
prejudices that constitute the root causes of fear, resentment and hatred in order to
prevent violence and human rights abuses.

    I presented sufficient evidence to establish the fact that Islam is not defamed by describing its jihad imperatives & promotion of war through carrot and stick doctrines.  If a Muslim goes to war, he goes to Paradise; if not, he goes to Hell.  Stating this fatal fact is not defamatory because it is truthful, based on Surah At-Taubah 38-39 & Surah As-Saff  10-13.

    At the time of its publication, Ban Ki-moon described Fitna,  Geert Wilders' short documentary exposing the nexus between the Qur'an & terrorism as "hate speech" & "incitement".  It is the Qur'an, not Fitna which constitutes "hate speech" & "incitement" to hatred and violence. 

Negative stereotypes

    If a Muslim is a believer, he "fights in Allah's cause", "killing others and being killed".  That definition of believer is contained in Surah At-Taubah 111.  Muslims are commanded to "Obey Allah and the Messenger". Allah commanded them to fight us until only Allah is worshiped; until we are subjugated and submit to extortion.  Are they then Muslims who sit at home?  Surely they are hypocrites, not believers who are only those who join the jihad.

    Allah said "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. " How is a Muslim to obey Moe without emulating his exemplary conduct?  What did he say about how he was made victorious?  How did Allah make him wealthy??

    You can not be Muslim without being evil. That is a fatal fact, not a negative stereotype. Allah commands obedience, which he rewrds with gardens flowing with rivers of wine and punishes with the fire.  What did he command Muslims to do?  Was there something about cutting off our heads, fingers and toes?  8:12

    What did Moe do to the men and adolescent boys of the Banu Qurayzah?  He besieged them for two weeks, when they surrendered he slaughtered them in beautiful downtown Medina.  How in Hell does a Muslim obey Allah and his Messenger without engaging in terrorism & genocide??  This is a fact, not a negative stereotype.  "It is not for a Prophet" that he should hold prisoners for ransom until he has made great slaughter.  This is not negative stereotyping, it is stating the fatal facts as contained in Islam's canon.   If Allah's slaves are offended by revelation of these fatal facts, they should break his yoke of slavery and rejoin the human race. 

89. The contributions received indicate that States are addressing the upsurge
in incitement, intolerance and hatred in many parts of the world in various
ways. States and national actors are taking measures to combat these
phenomena and the majority of these actions are in the constitutional and
legislative domain. The principles of equality and non-discrimination as well as
freedom of religion and freedom of expression and opinion are provided for at
the highest level through constitutional enshrinement. Most States have such
provisions on freedom of expression and opinion and freedom of religion and
belief, to varying extents. Some States have prohibitions, inter alia, on the
vilification and desecration of religious symbols, sites, places of worship, and
sacred grounds. In the submissions received, there is often a concurrent
criminal regime for the prohibition of actions infringing the freedom of religion
and belief at the national level. Where advocacy and incitement to hatred is
criminalized, it is often prohibited on several grounds, including racial,
national and ethnic or religious.

incitement, intolerance and hatred

    On what day of the week and at what time of day do riots, bombing & burning of churches and the homes & business of Christians occur in Africa, Arabia & Asia?  Why on friday?  Why after Jumah Salat?  There is no innocent explanation.  What does Allah tell Muslims to do?  What did Moe do that they must emulate?  Do expressions such as "fight them until" and "be harsh against them" have any meaning for you?  Do you have a brain?  Can you obtain a clue??

freedom of religion

    Where in domestic or international law is the right to conquer enshrined?  Muslims are commanded to fight pagans until only Allah is worshiped on a global scale.  Muslims are commanded to fight Jews & Christians until we are subjugated and submit to perpetual extortion.  We must not build or repair churches, display crosses, ring church bells, hold public processions or funerals. 

    If there is no right to conquer, then there is no right to practice Islam.  Show me, by God, exactly where the right to invade & conquer is enshrined in law other than in Reliance of the Traveller, Hedaya & Risala. 

    Where in domestic or international law is the right to rape enshrined?  Show me, by God, exactly where it is written that Muslims have a right to sexually exploit capive women except in the Qur'an, hadith, and Shari'ah compiled there from!  God bless you, can you read and comprehend?  What is the meaning of this:

4:24. Also (forbidden are) women already married, except those (captives and slaves) whom your right hands possess. ...

I entered the Mosque and saw Abu Said Al-Khudri and sat beside him and asked him about Al-Azl (i.e. coitus interruptus). Abu Said said, "We went out with Allah's Apostle for the Ghazwa of Banu Al-Mustaliq and we received captives from among the Arab captives and we desired women and celibacy became hard on us and we loved to do coitus interruptus. So when we intended to do coitus interrupt us, we said, 'How can we do coitus interruptus before asking Allah's Apostle who is present among us?" We asked (him) about it and he said, 'It is better for you not to do so, for if any soul (till the Day of Resurrection) is predestined to exist, it will exist." [Bukhari 5.59.459]

    Moe did not just say he was ordered to fight us, he said that until we become Muslims our blood and property are not sacred to Muslims and we have no rights.  Exactly how in Hell can there be a right to believe that, propagate it and act upon it?  If there is any such right, then all our rights are null and void.  It is therefore impossible that there can be any right to propagate and practice Islam. 

freedom of expression

    The first amendment to the US Constitution prohibits Congress from making any law abridging the freedom of speech.  It therefore remains legal for me to reveal the fatal facts of Islam as documented by its canon of scripture, tradition, exegesis & jurisprudence.  This is exactly what Ban Ki-moon & co. seek to outlaw.

    If we can not accurately name and describe the enemy and his doctrines & practices, then we will be rendered defenseless.  That is their objective.  If you harbor any doubts about this, crack open the Risala & Reliance of the Traveller and start reading.  If the expression "anything impermissible" is too vague for you, turn to O8.7 to see the detailed list of prohibited speech.

91. A number of other actions and measures have been highlighted in the
contributions. The importance of public education in promoting tolerance and
understanding in the public education system was noted. The value of ongoing
public awareness-raising by the State, national human rights institutions,
non-governmental organizations, faith groups and religious organizations, the
media and other partners at the national level especially was underlined. The
media has a significant role, and some contributions highlighted its use in
educating the public about different cultures and religions, in counteracting
contentious political discourse and divisive speech, and as a means for
disseminating balanced information and portrayals, as well as bringing
together groups and adherents of different religions and faiths.

    ¶91 promotes indoctrination, not education.

promoting tolerance

    What could be more  obnoxious?  How can any sentient & self-respecting lover of life & liberty tolerate the arrogant assumption of supremacism which assumes global conquest to be a divine right & mandate?  I can not tolerate that which seeks to disposses & kill me, enslaving my widow and orphans.  I can not accept any suggestion or demand that I should tolerate it. 

awareness raising

    Ban seeks to criminalize raising awareness of the existential threat of Islam.  He wants the organs of the state to spew propaganda and paint a false image of benign & anodyne religion; the polar opposite of the objective factual reality of Islam. 

balanced information

    I prefer truthful information that can be objectively evaluated and verified.  That is why I provide links to my sources so that readers can explore the context and verify the quotes.  Allah said "fight them"; Moe said "I am commanded to fight".  Moe fought in 17 battles and ordered about 60 more in which he did not directly participate.  Sahih Bukhari's books of Jihad & Expedition describe the circumstances of some of those battles.  The book of Khumus describes how Moe divided the loot.  Tafsirs confirm the obvious meaning of Allah's jihad imperatives. Shari'ah codifies what Allah said and Moe did.  Africa, Arabia, half of Asia and South East Europe were not conquered by a "religion of peace"  Peace has no part in barbarian conquest.  This subject matter requires truth,  not not malignant malarkey.

The Schalit Exchange: Suicidal Stupidity

The title pretty well says it; there is no use trying to conceal my disgust.  Freeing one thousand genocidal murderers in return for one Israeli is not a good deal.

    First and foremost, you get more of what you reward and less of what you punish. Freeing capture terrorists is an incitement to terrorism.  It gives them another opportunity to torment and kill Jews and other innocent people. 

    Yes, I recognize the fact that Schalit is worth millions of zombies.  The answer is to kill a million zombies while demanding his immediate release; not to send  one thousand back to the battlefield.  

    How many shootings, rocket & mortar attacks, suicide bombings, rock attacks and vehicular assaults is Schalit's return worth?   I doubt that his parents can see that price tag.  Surely the media and the politicians will never acknowledge it.  Yet Israel will pay in blood, both in the short and long terms. 

    As each of those zombies is welcomed as a conquering hero, with schools, streets, parks and events named after them and other tributes, the enemy will gain great psychological advantage. 

    There is a difference between living to kill and killing to live.  Too many people are unable to comprehend the difference.  Crack open your Qur'an and read Sural Al-Anfal 67.

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.

Sahih Muslim 19.4345 has a message for us. It is a long hadith, I will include a brief excerpt which contains the most vital information.

So I brought them, driving them along. Among them was a woman from Banu Fazara. She was wearing a leather coat. With her was her daughter who was one of the prettiest girls in Arabia. I drove them along until I brought them to Abu Bakr who bestowed that girl upon me as a prize. So we arrived in Medina. I had not yet disrobed her when the Messenger of Allah (may peace be upon him) met me in the street and said: Give me that girl, O Salama. I said: Messenger of Allah, she has fascinated me. I had not yet disrobed her. When on the next day. the Messenger of Allah (may peace be upon him) ag;tin met me in the street, he said: O Salama, give me that girl, may God bless your father. I said: She is for you. Messenger of Allah! By Allah. I have not yet disrobed her. The Messenger of Allah (may peace be upon him) sent her to the people of Mecca, and surrendered her as ransom for a number of Muslims who had been kept as prisoners at Mecca.

What was the narrator planning to do to that woman?  What was more important to Moe?  Taking captives for ransom is part of their tactical manual.  The obvious solution is to quit taking prisoners. When you capture zombies, send them directly to Hell, where they belong.

    The captivity of Schalit and death of his colleagues is a consequence of failure to comprehend and counter the enemy's tactics.  Sending a small force when a large force is required is penny wise and pound foolish.  When they plant bombs along the fence, send in air cover to find their locations and cut them off from escape and reinforcement.  When you send in the patrol to defuse the bombs, give them plenty of cover and backup. 

    Consider the happy homecoming: what if Schalit comes back in a box?  How can you face the families of murdered Jews in that case?  How will you face the survivors of the victims of ensuing attacks?   You should never place yourself in that position.

   

Christie & Palin: Wall Flowers; So What?

I can't get excited about the announcements that Governors Christie & Palin are not candidates for the GOP nomination.  Big deal.  Christie is important because he won in a 'crat heavy state and took on the unions.  Palin is important because she almost pulled McCain's bacon out of the fire. 

    The press, pundits & hierarchy love Christie because he projects a conservative image without being conservative.  The press & pundits would build him up before the nomination is cinched and tear him down afterwards.  They want to select our nominee again; another loser just like last time. 

    The press, pundits & hierarchy hate Palin because she is a conservative.  Her record as Governor of Alaska makes no difference, they want a Socialist in power, preferably one they can manipulate and exploit.  Nothing could stop them from harping on the family issue and Sarah's mis-statements any more than I could be stopped from harping on her insane statements about Islam. 

    The press, pundits & hierarchy seek enlargement of the field for several reasons.  Most importantly, they want pseudo-conservatives; they are more interested in image than substance. They hate the true conservatives and seek the destruction of their campaigns.  A large field reduces the money and media attention available to the back of the field, and that is exactly what the power brokers want. 

    In this election cycle, the party's base of faithful core supporters is more important than ever.  Now is the time for the base to rise up and demand a choice, not an echo.  Goldwater & Reagan are dead; the time of a new generation has come, and its leaders must step up and meet the challenge.

    Our role is to test those leaders and measure their mettle. We must reserve the selection to ourselves in the primaries & caucuses, we must tell the press, pundits & hierarchy to sit down and shut up. If we let them choose, we lose, and we may never recoup.
