If the recent events of the past 14 years have not brought clarity to understanding the core teachings of Islam are the sole reason the West is facing the warfare we are from so many different directions, then you may be incapable of reasonable and rational thought.
Since two Muslims killed a dozen people at the media outlet Charlie Hebdo in France, Muslims all over the world are holding massive protests. For the victims? No. They are protesting their “outrage” over the cartoons. In a sane society, a group of people who barbarically brutalize decent society would not be able to globally complain about how cartoons affect their feelings. But we go out of our way to pander to these people because intellectually dishonest leaders in Europe and America tell us we should embrace, appease, and empathize with the Islamic world.
The Islamic community threatens us with violence while our leaders tell us to embrace the Muslim community because, as our leaders say, “Islam is a religion of peace.”
Truer words have never been spoken – if you understand “Peace” in Islam (per Sharia/Islamic Law) occurs when the entire globe is under the rule of Islam and Islamic Law.
As massive crowds of Muslims across the globe call for more violence and killings (read “justice” for those who “slander” the prophet), our leaders tell us we should stop offending the Muslim by publishing cartoons or speaking truth about Islam. Color me reactionary, but I find sawing the heads off of 5 year old children and putting them on spikes for all the world to see just a bit more offensive. Yet I do not see any massive demonstrations around the world against that or for the children who are victims.
It is time for rational and reasonable people to stop giving quarter to those who are psychotically disconnected from reality – i.e. those who believe Islam “doesn’t stand for this (violence).”
* Nearly every Islamic School on the planet, beginning in the first grade, teaches Jihad is a permanent obligation on the Islamic community until the world is under Islamic rule (under Sharia).
* Islamic legal scholars are (and always have been) unanimous in their understanding on the definition of “jihad”; the obligation of jihad; the requirement to establish a global Islamic state (Caliphate) under Sharia (Islamic Law); and that Muslims may never take Jews or Christians as their friends. There is no such thing as a “version” of Islam that teaches something other than that.
* Sharia mandates jihad when the Islamic community has the strength and material ability to wage it. Historically, over the last 1400 years, the Muslim community has waged jihad when they had the strength to do so. In Islam, Mohammed is the “insan al kamil” or the “perfect man.” Mohammed commanded Muslims to “fight and slay the unbelievers” until they (1) convert to Islam, (2) submit to Islam, pay the jizya (non-Muslim poll tax), and “feel themselves subdued,” or (3) be killed. Mohammed waged war on the non-Muslims until they submitted, converted or were killed.
* All published Sharia (Islamic Law) defines “slander” as those who say anything about the prophet or Islam “which a Muslim would dislike.” This is a capital crime in Islam. The truth of the comment is not a part of the discussion in Islamic Law – only that a Muslim “dislikes” it.
The jihadis who took innocent lives in France at Charlie Hebdo, did so in accordance with, not against, Islamic Law.
100% of the Islamic jihadis we face on the battlefield, have committed acts of jihad in Europe or America, or those jihadis we have arrested before they did what they were trying to do all say words to the effect of: “We are jihadis fighting jihad in the cause of Allah in order to impose Sharia and establish the Islamic State.”
All Islamic doctrine backs this statement up – unequivocally.
The jihadis – or “terrorists” – are in complete agreement as to why they are doing what they are doing across the globe. All Islamic jurisprudence supports them and never hasn’t supported them. We are witnessing millions of Muslims protest over cartoons but not over the victims at Charlie Hebdo or Fort Hood or London or Madrid or Mumbai or Boston or anywhere else in the world.
To make this as clear as possible, Al Qaeda has never misquoted Islamic Law in furtherance of what they are doing. Never.
If you had a dinner guest who didn’t follow your rules, was rude and inappropriate with your wife and daughter, and threatened you while eating a dinner you prepared in your house, you would ask him to leave.
The West may want to consider this option for a Muslim population which continues to threaten our lives in bolder and bolder fashion, while demonstrating absolutely no respect for human life, decency, liberty, 0r reasoned thought.
