The
American people must hear the truth about the nature of Islamic doctrine
continually until they are totally aware of its threat to their way of
life and the US Constitution. Sadly, our Churches and other religious
institutions dare not speak up for fear of being accused of intolerance
toward another religion. Our academia, the university teachers and professors,
left or right, dare not, because, most likely, they would be expelled
and lose their income. Our elected officials and politicians dare not
because they are mostly master practitioners of euphemism, hedging, doubletalk,
and outright deception, and they need your votes as well as your money.
Many media contributors and editors dare not because they could lose subscribers
and be shut down. Countless entrepreneurs and businessmen dare not because
they might lose customers and clientele. Even ordinary workers dare not
because they might be fired or called bigots and racists. So, I thought
I would tell you!

America
is faced with a formidable adversary. This adversary has a name: Islam,
not radical Islam or political Islam, just Islam. Muslims don’t
call it radical Islam, why should we? I think it is time to revisit the
First Amendment of the U.S. Constitution and see if Islam is qualified
as a religion. Is this an outlandishly absurd proposal? Not at all, serious
problems require equally serious solutions. The call for evaluation of
the First Amendment may be seen as an attempt to curb Islam or other militant
cults. The truth is: it is. It is truly a matter of survival of the United
States and the free world.

It is
long past time to take a stand and shift the debate to orthodox Islam.
There is no need to exhaustingly investigate every other religion on the
planet in order to compare them or offer an opinion about their relative
“goodness” in declaring that on the whole, Islam perpetuates
malevolence and violence. Let others devolve into religious disagreements.
But for the press and some commentators who would further question: “OK
great, so now what? You claim Islam is malevolent. How do we combat that?”
Your response is already clear: Through the spread of truth, not deceit.
Through voluntary social sanctions and laws in every civilized country
that forbid evil practices like Sharia, coercion and violence
against women, threats against those who disagree, honor killings, apostasy
and other hate crimes. Let the world know the truth and decide for itself.
Let Muslims who come to their senses, opt out.

Religion
and Islam
and Islam
America,
with a long history of protecting religious freedom, still clings to the
“hands off” practice of leaving alone any doctrine or practice
billed as religion. A thorny problem is in deciding what constitutes a
religion and who is to make that call. The dictionary supplies a sociologically
useless definition for religion: “The expression of man’s
belief in and reverence for a superhuman power recognized as the Creator
and Governor of the universe.” Just about anyone or any group under
this definition can start a religion, and indeed they do—and some
do so at significant costs to others.

Muslims,
under the banner of religion, are infringing blatantly on the rights of
others, not only in Islamic countries, but also in much of the non-Muslim
world. By their acts of dogmatic barbarity, Muslims are slowly awakening
non-Muslim democracies to the imminent threat of Islamic terrorism keen
on destroying their free secular and free societies.

As more
and more Muslims arrive in America, as they reproduce with great fertility,
as they convert the disenchanted and minorities, and as petrodollar-flush
Muslims and Muslim treasuries supply generous funds, Muslims gather more
power and become a serious challenge to the American system of governance—representative
democracy. As for democracy, the rule of the people, Muslims have no use
for it whatsoever. Muslims believe that Allah’s rule must govern
the world in the form of a Caliphate. Making a mockery of democracy, subverting
its workings, and ignoring its provisions is a Muslim’s way of falsifying
what he already believes to be a sinful and false system of government,
invented by the infidels.

We must
begin to declare Islam evil, not from a sectarian perspective, but from
a universal, humanist one. Every encroachment of Islam as a religion must
be rejected, harassed and discouraged by all people everywhere. Any leftist
attempts to give aid and comfort to this religion of hate must be denounced
and frustrated at every turn.

Christianity
Unlike
some peaceful religions such as Baha’i, Buddhism, Hinduism, Zoroastrianism
and Christianity which advocate universally understood principles of good
within their Holy books, and perhaps other religious doctrines (with which
I am not personally familiar), Islam cannot be reformed. An example, when
the Roman Catholic church was reformed, it was the church that was found
to be in violation of Biblical teachings. It had in many ways become anti-Christian.

Reform
restored orthodoxy to the plain and well-understood concepts revealed
by Christ and the disciples (one of the reasons it took so long was the
church forbade lay-people from reading the bible or translating it from
the obsolete language of Latin…so Europeans were largely ignorant except
for what they were told…see the story of Martin Luther). Some evolutionary
ideas such as the abolition of slavery were not addressed in the Bible
(in part because Christ was after souls not bodies), but the other teachings
such as compassion, forgiveness, non-violence, and brotherly love are
and were always incompatible with slavery. Therefore, it should be no
surprise that eventually Christians in Europe and America led the abolitionist
movement (they were scripturally correct). If a Christian bombs an abortion
clinic, there is no scriptural commandment supporting this. It is unchristian
(however, it is not unchristian to denounce abortion and seek to make
it illegal and thus prevent abortionists from practicing their craft).

It is
sad when the counter-argument to this definition of Christianity is lame
references to Old Testament violence. Old Testament stories are taught
in Christianity as historical fact, not prescriptions based on Christian
ethics. If to a Christian, God is sanctioned a violent act, it is 100%
irrelevant to the New Covenant that is taught by Jesus. So, to say…yeah
but the Bible has violence in it too is insultingly banal, simplistic
and misleading.

If some
Christians abused their doctrine and hid behind the Cross to justify their
personal desire to kill, enslave, and conquer, then they are and always
were sinners and they are wrong; and this is why Christianity has taken
the natural form it has today…as a religion of peace and compassion
(even if many supposed Christians continue to sin). This is not to say
that Christians are unable to defend themselves, or intervene to stop
injustice. Christians are taught to hate the sin and love the sinner…period!
The decision to become aggressive is always a burden on the Christian
conscience.

In comparison,
Islam does not tolerate revisionism in its beliefs or practices over time.
Reform is not at play, because one cannot point to Jihadists or terrorists
and say Muhammad did not advocate it. He most certainly did, and delighted
in his evil thoughts. Islam is a literal religion, taking unabrogated
scripture as eternal and absolute. Moreover, there are no calls in Islam
for compassion, forgiveness, non-violence, and brotherly love. Instead
there are specific prescriptions to retain evil with evil, eternal warfare,
religious hegemony, slavery, killing Jews, taxing nonbelievers, stoning,
promulgating terror, establishing a caste social system, and perpetuating
discrimination against women. The only way to reform Islam is to discard
Sharia, but also to purge the Quran itself of its enormous Suras that
are not only patently false, but totally repugnant to a civilized humanity.
This line of thinking, to sanitize Islam is explicitly forbidden in the
Quran:

2:85: “Do you, then, believe in some parts of the divine writ and
deny the truth of other parts? What, then, could be the reward of those
among you who do such things but ignominy in the life of this world and,
on the Day of Resurrection; they will be consigned to most grievous suffering?
For God is not unmindful of what you do.”

There
is no such thing as “radical Islam.” I have refused to accept
several organizations that seek to combat or expose the antics of “radical”
or “extreme” Islam, because I know that it is not extremism
that is causing the violence…it’s mainstream, typical, normal,
traditional, specified, canonical Islam.

There
are those who with a wink and a nod understand this but continue to work
as revisionists because they are afraid of starting a religious war, even
as they feel compelled to do something. They tell me, “You can’t
openly accuse an entire religion of being evil! That would just incite
them and make them hate us even more.” My response: the war started
in the 7th century, and if in the 21st century we still refuse to accept
that reality, then there is perhaps no hope at all for civilization. Nothing
good can come from self-deception.

I argue
that any belief system that licenses murder in the name of Jihad and the
conquering and subduing of the world of the infidels by the Umma,
should be outlawed. The prophet Mohammad brewed up a militant, radical
and extremely irrational imperialistic cult that sought world dominance.
My fellow travelers, let us make one thing clear; Islam is no more a religion
deserving our respect or legal recognition than is cannibalism.

And
those who take a “liberal” view of Islam should be forced
to back up their nouveau interpretation with unabrogated scriptural
facts. Unless such “reformists” can denounce fascist Islam
with scripture, they are the true radicals, which is why we never see
them pointing to scriptural arguments against jihad…they cannot because
they are lying. Islamic terrorists are doing exactly what the prophet
Muhammad demanded. And his demands were not suggestions and were not ephemeral.
They were “perfect,” eternal ultimata. Islamic terrorists
are faithful and true to what is written in the book of Quran.

President Obama go around the Muslim heartland and sing the praises of
Islam at every stop? Didn’t he bow with great deference to the King
of Islam in Saudi Arabia? Didn’t he proudly proclaim Islam as the
faith of his near and dear kindred? Didn’t he, time and again, tell
us that Islam is indeed the religion of peace? Didn’t he with his
captivating oratory skills cite passages from the Quran to show how reverent
he was toward this religion? Didn’t he appoint a raft of “devoted”
Muslims to sensitive and high posts in government? Didn’t the Obama
administration pull back all training materials used for law enforcement
and national security communities, in order to eliminate all references
to Islam that some Muslim groups have claimed are offensive?

Conclusion
It is
long past time for Americans to call upon the lawmakers of the United
States of America to immediately create a safety board and commissioner
to study and examine the dangers of Islamic doctrine in our society. Islam
today is dysfunctional, to say the least. As a matter of fact, Islam went
astray from the very beginning and inflicted a great deal of suffering
on both its followers and those who resisted its advance.

In the
monumental task of dealing with Islam, every individual, group and government
must combine their resources and energies to prevail. The destiny of the
civilized world hangs in the balance. Shirking this responsibility is
an unpardonable act of every enlightened human being and organization
that values individual freedom, liberty and dignity.
