Islamism equals war against the unbelievers – whomever they may be

You will not see the following information in any other newspaper, certainly not the Washington Post or the New York Times.

Islamism is at war against the “kafir,” unbelievers in Islam. What is Islamism? It is a radical political movement based on a fundamentalist and exact reading of the Islamic scriptures. Its goal is world domination by Islam. It is spreading havoc and slaughter around the globe. Most of its victims are Muslims who do not share the poisonous ideology.

This state of war has existed since the beginning of Islam. Islam is composed of three holy texts called the trilogy: the Quran, recorded during and after the life of the Prophet Muhammad (570-632 AD); the Suna (the Sira, the life of Mohammed and the aHadith — the traditions of Islam), written 100-200 years after Muhammad’s death; and Sharia Law, written in the 1400s. Islam is entirely incompatible with human freedom and the U.S. Constitution. Islam is not a religion of peace. It is a religion of submission to the laws inscribed in Sharia.

Under Sharia there is no freedom of religion, press or speech. There is no right to bear arms. Men are superior to women in every way. Women can be beaten at the husband’s will. Muslims are always superior to non-Muslims. Our Constitution must submit to Sharia. All governments must be ruled by Sharia law. It is eternal and can never be changed

Also, violence is commanded. Blasphemers, apostates, infidels, homosexuals and adulteresses are to be killed. Cruel and unusual punishments are prescribed.

Since Islam is incompatible with our Constitution and our laws, we cannot allow this to continue. We must stop it in its tracks and demand that Islam be reformed to eliminate violence except in self-defense, and to demand that women be accepted as equals to men. Only Muslims themselves can reform Islam. We must demand they do so. It is true that the Jewish Torah and the Old Testament of the Bible also contain violent commands and call for subjugation of women. But Jews have long since abandoned these verses and ruled that the laws of governments trump the commands of the Hebrew prophets. Muslims must do the same.

Europe is already falling victim to Sharia. When Sharia is allowed to overrule other laws, it gains a foothold and will insist that other Sharia laws be permitted as well. This is happening in Europe and even in the United States.

Islam commands Jihad against unbelievers. Jihad means war against unbelievers to establish Islam. Jihad is the duty of all Muslims. We are fortunate most Muslims are not engaged in Jihad, because there are 1.6 billion of them. If 1 percent engage in Jihad, we are faced with 16 million fanatics.

When we are attacked, or threatened with attack, we must respond with appropriate force. It is time to draw the line and say “no more, enough is enough.” Muslims who do not accept our Constitution or our laws should be asked to leave America.

Luckily there are courageous Muslims working hard to reform Islam before it’s too late. They are putting their lives on the line and we should support them.

Meanwhile, we should declare war against ”Islamism,” the fascist political movement whose goal is world domination by Islam. The enemy is not only Isis, Hamas, Hezbollah, al-Qaida or Boko Haram, it is Islamism — a deadly cancer that is spreading the worldwide. All those groups and many more share the Islamist goal — world domination by Islam.

Muslim BBC Chief Says ‘Of Course’ ISIS and Islam Are Related

Responding to the theory that ISIS has nothing to do with Islam, the head of the BBC religion section told students this week that people need to come to grips with the “uncomfortable” truth that the Islamic State terror group draws its inspiration from the religion of Islam.
Professor Aaqil Ahmed, himself a Muslim scholar and chief of BBC religion, denied the politically correct opinion that ISIS “has nothing to do with Islam” during a speech at before a group of college students at Huddersfield University this past week.

“I hear so many people say ISIS has nothing to do with Islam — of course it has. They are not preaching Judaism,” Ahmed noted.

As Breitbart reported earlier this year, more and more scholars and pundits are stepping forward to show that the Islamic State indeed draws its principles from the Qur’an and the writings of Mohammed.

A growing consensus suggests that the perpetrators of violent jihad do not represent Muslim “extremism,” but rather reflect a straightforward application of central Islamic principles.

One such scholar, James V. Schall of Georgetown University, has stated that Muslim violence is intrinsic to the nature of Islam itself in a recent essay titled, “Realism and Islam.”

Schall insists that Islam has consistently advocated violence, which it has practiced “from its seventh century beginning,” and that the purpose of jihad is, ultimately, “religious and pious.”

Far from a historical anomaly, then, the violent method of the Islamic State “is little different from what has been seen throughout the centuries wherever Islam is found,” he said. Islam “is actually and potentially violent throughout its entire history.”

“And while it may be politically incorrect to state these things, they need to be stated and are in fact the truth—things that both Muslims and non-Muslims need to hear and consider,” Schall said.

Schall is far from alone is his sober assessment of historical Islam.

In March of this year, Nabeel Qureshi, a former Muslim, published a provocative article in USA Today titled “The Quran’s Deadly Role in Inspiring Belgian Slaughter,” in which he recounts his own discovery “that the pages of Islamic history are filled with violence.”

The author also noted that “ISIL’s primary recruiting technique is not social or financial but theological,” and that they continuously draw from “the highest sources of authority in Islam, the Quran and hadith” in spurring their followers to violent jihad.

The fact of the matter is that violence and jihad are at “the very foundations of their faith,” he wrote.

Professor Ahmed’s recent statements regarding the relationship between ISIS and the religion of Islam are significant for two reasons.

First, as a Muslim scholar, Ahmed holds the credentials to make authoritative statements regarding the teachings of Islam. Second, as the religion director of the BBC, Ahmed represents the liberal media machine that has consistently avoided linking violent jihad to the Muslim faith.

“They [Islamic State] are Muslims,” Ahmed said. “That is a fact and we have to get our head around some very uncomfortable things.”

Ahmed has been with the BBC since 2009, and commissioned the documentaries Inside The Mind Of A Suicide Bomber and The Qur’an.
