O' MUSLIM WHO ART THOU

When trying to understand the Muslim mind, it helps to listen to some of their own words. The following comes from a Jihadist website. It is their idea of freedom, and they feel it should be worldwide.

"In Islam, however, freedom is to be able to practice your Religion as much as possible, which includes establishing the Shari’ah (sharia law) and waging Jihad for the cause of Allah.

Freedom is to be able to stand up to the tyrants and tell them, ““Verily, we are free from you and whatever you worship besides Allah.” Free from your wretched laws, methodologies, constitutions and values… free from your repugnant governments, courts, distinguishing characteristics and media…

“We have rejected you, and there has become apparent between us and you, enmity and hatred forever, until you believe in Allah ALONE.” THEREFORE, WE WILL CONTINUE TO SHOW HOSTILITY AND HATRED TOWARDS YOU FOREVER UNTIL YOU BELIEVE IN ALLAH ALONE...and freely".....

Their idea of freedom, is the TALIBAN, pure and simple and they won't rest until they achieve that goal. They make it pretty clear, they also speak in oxymoron's and contradictions and don't even realize it. These are all copy and paste, they are NOT my words, but theirs.

It is important for all of us to pay attention to the signs of the times. Far too often we busy ourselves with the mundane day to day tasks. How many "man on the street" episodes, have you seen, where the person being questioned, has no clue who the people, in the highest level of government are??

If we cannot be bothered to know who is running our country, then how do we expect to win a war of ideology??

Here is another Muslim's opinion on democracy:

All Who Believe in Democracy, The Religion of Godlessness, Are Infidels
by Abu Muhammad Al-Maqdisi, a pseudonym for Asem Al-Burqawi

"[Democracy is] denying Allah the Almighty, associating [other deities] with [Allah,] the Sovereign of heaven and earth, and is contrary to the religion of unity [i.e. Islam] and the religion of the prophets, for many reasons, among them:

"First, [democracy] is legislated by the masses or the regime of tyrants, and it is not the rule of Allah the Exalted. Allah commanded his Prophet to act according to the law that Allah sent down to him, and forbade him from following the desires of the nation or the masses and warned him that they would divert him from part of the [precepts] sent down by Allah: 'Judge between them by that which Allah has sent down, and do not follow their wishes to deviate from it' [Qur'an 5:49]. This [appears] in the religion of unity and of Islam.

"With regard to the religion of democracy and association [of other deities with Allah, i.e. polytheism], those who worship it say 'Judge between them by that which the people wish; be wary of deviating from what they want, desire, and legislate'… This is what they say, and thus it is determined that democracy is unbelief and association [of other deities with Allah] if it is implemented…

"Second, the rule of the masses or the tyrants is in accordance with the constitution, and not in accordance with the law of Allah, and thus say their constitutions and their books, which they sanctify over the Qur'an. Evidence of this is that the law [of the constitutions and books] is preferred to the law [of the Qur'an], and the law [of the constitutions and books] is higher [to them] than [the Qur'an's] laws… According to the religion of democracy, the masses do not accept the judgments and laws … unless they are based on the precepts and articles of the constitution, because they see it as the father of the laws and the holy book. In the religion of democracy, there is no consideration of the Qur'an verses or the Hadiths [prophetic tradition] of the Prophet, and laws cannot be legislated in accordance with them unless they are compatible with the precepts of their holy book, the constitution…

"Third, democracy is the vile fruit and illegitimate daughter of secularism, because secularism is a heretical school of thought that aspires to isolate religion from life or separate religion from state … and democracy is the rule of the people or the rule of the tyrants. But in any event, it is not the rule of Allah the Exalted, and it does not take the unswerving legislation of Allah into account at all unless it is first compatible with all the articles of the constitution, and then with the desires of the people, and even before that with the desires of the tyrants or the masses…

So, the people that we are fighting, desire to do away with the rule of law. They feel that giving people the right to vote and choose their leaders, who make laws to protect and benefit their constituents, is wrong. Unless it is all done, in Allah's name and in accordance to the Quran. This is why they have no problem with beheading people, or stoning them, or cutting off hands and feet.

There is no consideration for current times and beliefs. There is no consideration for what the people think. This is NOT, a isolated way of thinking. Muslims have no loyalty to the country in which they live. There are films of Muslims in downtown New York city, standing on the American flag. Yelling that they want the world to know that their only allegiance, is to Allah.

As a Christian, I try to follow Gods words, and if I HAD to choose between, that and anything else, my loyalty would be to God. But make no mistake, it is not the same way of thinking in Islam. The threat is not only to our country, the threat is towards ALL countries. Including Muslim nations that don't rule under strict sharia law. I would ask the "moderate" Muslim, if this is acceptable to them.

Open Letter to Muslims

Before 9/11/2001, I didn't know anything about Islam. Since then I have learned plenty. I have learned that there is no shortage of Muslims willing to kill in the name of Islam. I have learned that they have no problem with killing other Muslims, when they don't believe the way the killers do, or are just in the way. I have learned that even though they call Christians and Jews, "People of the Book", in Muslim eyes they are all infidels/kufars and as such are worth nothing but contempt. The goal is to convert them or kill them. While Christianity is a religion of love and redemption. Islam is hate, vengeance and "awful doom".

Some Muslims will be offended by the words in this post. Maybe you should be more concerned with changing how Islam is viewed by stopping the killing. Stop all the death fatwa's. Stop beheading people and teaching children the fine art of beheading. Maybe you should stop indoctrinating little children in hate and death. Maybe you should stop trying to get 6 yr. old kids to become suicide bombers.

Some Muslims think that the war, is about us, wanting to convert all Muslims. They use this kind of talk to convince other Muslims that they are in a legitimate, worthy fight, and that Allah calls them to "protect" the faith. First of all, I believe that they Muslims that fall for this garbage are ignorant and have no real grasp of what is really going on in the world.

The west couldn't care less, about your religion. Unlike Muslim countries, the west has true freedom of religion. There is no compulsion one way or another. All are welcome to worship who they want, when they want, or not at all if that is their desire and it is all without threat. The same cannot be said about Christians in Muslim countries. If you are a Muslim and want to convert to another religion, you face death.

I am not calling you a terrorist, but I am calling on you to condemn the terrorist actions of you brother Muslims. If you cannot do that then it leads me to believe that you approve of their actions. Which is only a short step away from committing acts of violence or terror yourself, or encouraging others to do so.

I do not understand why it is so hard for Muslims to speak out against violence. Are you afraid for your safety?? Maybe you can explain it too me. And please explain why so many Muslims feel the need to kill others for not believing the way that they do. Why behead priests, and nuns and monks? Are these people deserving of that treatment?? What about beheading school girls on their way to school. What in Gods name could they have done to deserve that?? Why rape women for showing an interest in the Bible. Does your Holy book command you to do this?? Come on somebody tell me why this is OK. I really want to know.

Why do you care if someone decides to leave Islam, you call them apostates and threaten them with death. And don't try and tell me that you "care" about the soul of the apostate. Quite frankly, knowing all the garbage that is carried out in the name of Islam, it is no wonder people would want to leave it. I guess threats of death would keep them in line.

Do you really believe that this type of behavior will get people to want to become part of your religion, or respect it?? I certainly have a hard time respecting anyone who believes these things. I have posted these questions before, and have not found any honest people, willing to answer my questions. Just some indignant Muslims, that have no problem being offended by my writings, but not offended enough about their own religion to stand up and shout for the insanity to stop.

Do I hate all Muslims....NO. I hate the actions of extremest, I hate the silence of the so called "moderates". I hate the double talk of the so called "moderate" Muslim, who say one thing when in front of the camera's and says something else when he thinks only like minds are listening. I have a problem with any religion that allows their members to lie about their actions and true feelings about jihad, or anything else, to keep the "kufar" from knowing what they are doing.

I hate the kufar terminology, nothing like a religion that blatantly calls for slavery, discrimination and murder. As I have said, Christianity is based on love, and forgiveness. Islam is based on hate, discriminate, death, and "awful doom". You can cherry pick verses that are against these things, but if you look at it in context or as a whole, the Koran is all about death.

The Christian Bible says nothing about killing everybody who doesn't believe, the Bible says of enemies: "Bless them that curse you, pray for them who despitefully use you. And unto those who smack you on one cheek, offer to him the other; And if one takes away your cloak, give to him your coat also." It says to love your enemy and to pray for them. And when asked of the Lord how often to forgive those who offend you, He said "until seventy times seven" daily. And what do some Muslims do with this information?? They mock it. How you can call Jesus Christ a prophet on one hand and mock him with the other is beyond me. The Christian Bible and the Koran are polar opposites.

I learned a lot about Islam since 9/11, I learned that if I was in a position of either converting to Islam, or death...you would have to kill me. I will never understand why anyone would want to be in a religion that is so hateful. And as far as Muslims condemning the acts of terrorist....I'm sorry, I just don't see enough of it to think that you really mean it.
