Thanks and a tip of the hat to Logan's Warning for alerting me to Barack Hussein Obama's al-Taqiyya. Indian Express carries the story of Obamination at Xavier's College, where a Muslim student asked for his views on jihad.
Lets break it down point by point.
great religion
- great
- What's great about Islam? It built an empire that stretched from the border of China to the border of France. That is political/imperial greatness, not religious greatness.

- religion
- Religion is generally understood to be a benign, beneficent & anodyne institution dealing with spiritual, theological & cosmological matters. Islam is a predatory way of life: predation upon the remainder of the human race.

- 8:1. They ask you (O Muhammad ) about the spoils of war. Say: "The spoils are for Allâh and the Messenger." So fear Allâh and adjust all matters of difference among you, and obey Allâh and His Messenger (Muhammad ), if you are believers.
- 6:124. And when there comes to them a sign (from Allâh) they say: "We shall not believe until we receive the like of that which the Messengers of Allâh had received." Allâh knows best with whom to place His Message. Humiliation and disgrace from Allâh and a severe torment will overtake the criminals (polytheists, sinners, etc.) for that which they used to plot.

extremists
- Muhammad bin Abdullah, founder of Islam
- 8:39. And fight them until there is no more Fitnah (disbelief and polytheism: i.e. worshipping others besides Allâh) and the religion (worship) will all be for Allâh Alone [in the whole of the world ]. But if they cease (worshipping others besides Allâh), then certainly, Allâh is All-Seer of what they do.
- 9:29. Fight against those who (1) believe not in Allâh, (2) nor in the Last Day, (3) nor forbid that which has been forbidden by Allâh and His Messenger (4) and those who acknowledge not the religion of truth (i.e. Islâm) among the people of the Scripture (Jews and Christians), until they pay the Jizyah with willing submission, and feel themselves subdued.
- Sahih Bukhari Volume 1, Book 8, Number 387:
Narrated Anas bin Malik:
Allah's Apostle said, "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." Narrated Maimun ibn Siyah that he asked Anas bin Malik, "O Abu Hamza! What makes the life and property of a person sacred?" He replied, "Whoever says, 'None has the right to be worshipped but Allah', faces our Qibla during the prayers, prays like us and eats our slaughtered animal, then he is a Muslim, and has got the same rights and obligations as other Muslims have." - Sahih Bukhari Volume 4, Book 52, Number 220:
Narrated Abu Huraira: Allah's Apostle said, "I have been sent with the shortest expressions bearing the widest meanings, and I have been made victorious with terror (cast in the hearts of the enemy), and while I was sleeping, the keys of the treasures of the world were brought to me and put in my hand." Abu Huraira added: Allah's Apostle has left the world and now you, people, are bringing out those treasures (i.e. the Prophet did not benefit by them).
Moe defined Islam with his recitation and set the standard with his Sunnah. Normative Islam is extreme; there is no extremism over and above it.
distorted
The standard of Islam is open on the face of the Qur'an & hadith. What is distorted about it? "Ordered to fight" & "made victorious with terror" are the standard, not distortions.
justify violence
What did Allah say about "fighting" ? What did Moe say about it? "Fight them until", "ordered to fight". How do you justify offensive wars of conquest? In Mecca, outnumbered, in a position of weakness, Moe preached tolerance & forbearance. In Medina, as he accrued an army, he preached defensive & retaliatory warfare.
- 22:39. Permission to fight is given to those (i.e. believers against disbelievers), who are fighting them, (and) because they (believers) have been wronged, and surely, Allâh is Able to give them (believers) victory
- 2:190. And fight in the Way of Allâh those who fight you, but transgress not the limits. Truly, Allâh likes not the transgressors. [This Verse is the first one that was revealed in connection with Jihâd, but it was supplemented by another (V.9:36)].
Click the link to 2:190, read the translator's footnote and the surrounding context. While the verse relates directly to defensive warfare, the definition of jihad in the footnote is anything but defensive.
Al-Anfal 39 & At-Taubah 29, quoted above, command offensive, not defensive warfare. When they were revealed, Moe's army had grown in numbers and skill, he was ready for the conquest of Mecca and neighboring kingdoms & empires. Ibn Kathir's Tafsir describes these as orders "to fight".- The Order to fight to eradicate Shirk and Kufr
- The Order to fight People of the Scriptures until They give the Jizyah
- This honorable Ayah was revealed with the order to fight the People of the Book, after the pagans were defeated, the people entered Allah's religion in large numbers, and the Arabian Peninsula was secured under the Muslims' control. Allah commanded His Messenger to fight the People of the Scriptures, Jews and Christians, on the ninth year of Hijrah, and he prepared his army to fight the Romans and called the people to Jihad announcing his intent and destination. The Messenger sent his intent to various Arab areas around Al-Madinah to gather forces, and he collected an army of thirty thousand.
Those abominable imperatives are codified in Shari'ah: Reliance of the Traveller, Book o, Chapter 9, Sections 8 & 9.

o9.8: The Objectives of Jihad
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,
"Fight those who do not believe in Allah and the Last Day and who forbid not what Allah and His messenger have forbidden-who do not practice the religion of truth, being of those who have been given the Book-until they pay the poll tax out of hand and are humbled" (Koran 9.29),
the time and place for which is before the final descent of Jesus (upon whom be peace). After his final coming, nothing but Islam will be accepted from them, for taking the poll tax is only effective until Jesus' descent (upon him and our Prophet be peace), which is the divinely revealed law of Muhammad. The coming of Jesus does not entail a separate divinely revealed law, for he will rule by the law of Muhammad. As for the Prophet's saying (Allah bless him and give him peace),
"I am the last, there will be no prophet after me,"
this does not contradict the final coming of Jesus (upon whom be peace), since he will not rule according to the Evangel, but as a follower of our Prophet (Allah bless him and give him peace) ).
o9.9
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) ) (n: though according to the Hanafi school, peoples of all other religions, even idol worshippers, are permitted to live under the protection of the Islamic state if they either become Muslim or agree to pay the poll tax, the sole exceptions to which are apostates from Islam and idol worshippers who are Arabs, neither of whom has any choice but becoming Muslim (al-Hidaya sharh Bidaya al-mubtadi' (y21), 6.48-49) ).
Reliance of the Traveller o9.1 defines the religious obligation of offensive conquest. The closing paragraphs of the section convey vital information.
-
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).
What does this mean: "meaning upon the Muslims each year"? Muslims are required to mount at least one military expedition against kuffar in every year. The question is answered with extreme clarity by this quote from Al-Shafi'i.
innocent people
In Islam's view, only Muslims are innocent. All others are rebels against Allah who must be warred against. Scroll up to the quote of Bukhari 1.8.387 and read it again. Our blood and property are not sacred to Muslims until we become Muslims. We only obtain rights by becoming Muslims. That should be a clue for you.
Muslims love to quote Surah Al-Ma'idah 5:32, which says that killing one innocent person is equivalent to killing the entire population of the world, but never quote the succeeding verse. That is because 5:33 prescribes hudud for those who "wage war" against Allah. It says that they can be crucified, killed, mutilated or expelled. But it does not define "wage war". Ibn Kathir's Tafsir fills in that gap for us. If you do not believe in Allah; if you are not a Muslim, then you are waging war against him, subject to the punishments listed in 5:33.`Wage war' mentioned here means, oppose and contradict, and it includes disbelief, blocking roads and spreading fear in the fairways.
President Barack Hussein Obama is an accursed liar, a traitor to the human race as well as the nation over which he has been elected to preside. He lies about the nature and identity of our sworn existential enemy and demands that we tolerate its existence & perpetual aggression.
