Obamination: Eid-ul-Fitr

Obamination: Eid-ul-Fitr Barack Hussein Obama, like other Muslims & politicians, is a practiced and skillful liar. In the present case, he skillfully attributed anodyne beneficence to Moe's war cult on the occasion of Eid-ol-Fitr, the celebration of the end of the month of Ramadan.

In keeping with occasional habit, I have highlighted some key words and phrases in the President's spew of Al-Taqiyya, copying the most important of them to headings followed by my comments.

At variance with my usual habit, I have included only one full quote from Islam's canon. Others are linked in a list at the end of the post. Obama's spew is mercifully short, my list of links is not. I have included links to several ayat, with three tafsirs for each ayeh, several hadith and a few citations to Reliance of the Traveller.

Statement by the President on the Occasion of Eid-ul-Fitr

Posted on August 30, 2011 at 01:45 PM EDT

Type: Press Article, Statements and Releases

Michelle and I would like to send Eid greetings to Muslim communities in the United States and around the world. Ramadan has been a time for families and communities to share the happiness of coming together in intense devotion, reflection, and service. Millions all over the world have been inspired to honor their faith by reaching out to those less fortunate. This year, many have observed the month while courageously persevering in their efforts to secure basic necessities and fundamental ... , we send our best wishes for a blessed holiday to Muslim communities around the world.

Muslim communities

Why are there; why should there be "Muslim communities" in the United States? Settlements, outposts, colonies & bases might be better descriptive terms for areas with predominately Muslim populations.

intense devotion

Intense devotion would run parallel to and in conjunction with belief. Intense belief would mark them as believers, would it not? A review of that term is called for.

9:111. Verily, Allâh has purchased of the believers their lives and their properties; for the price that theirs shall be the Paradise. They fight in Allâh's Cause, so they kill (others) and are killed. It is a promise in truth which is binding on Him in the Taurât (Torah) and the Injeel (Gospel) and the Qur'ân. And who is truer to his covenant than Allâh? Then rejoice in the bargain which you have concluded. That is the supreme success .

Ramadan celebrates the month in which Moe received his first revelations. They are celebrating the revelation of the Qur'an which commands them to conquer the entire world, sanctifying and mandating conquest¹, genocide² & terrorism³.

honor their faith

Zakat is one of the five pillars of Islam. It involves a levy of 2.5% on income and accumulated wealth. One eighth of Zakat must be paid to those "fighting in Allah's cause⁴.

those less fortunate

There are special rules for Eid-u;-Fitr⁵. Giving Zakat to Kuffar is prohibited.⁶

securing fundamental freedoms

Al-Taqiyya seems to come naturally to President Barack Hussein Obama. Those revolting against Arab tyrannies are not seeking to secure fundamental freedoms, they are seeking, as Obama is, to secure power. Recent events and revelations in Egypt, Libya & Tunisia make this fatal fact abundantly clear. Those now in charge of Libya gained their combat experience against our troops in Iraq.

best wishes

True best wishes for Muslims would be expressed in supplication to the Almighty for their swift and permanent emancipation from slavery to Allah.

blessed holiday

How can anything associated with such an accursed screed as the Qur'an be blessed?

Obamination: 9/11 Disservice

Political correctness may be defined as irrational persistence in the belief that "it is possible to pick up a turd by the clean end". Ten years ago, the "Magnificent Ninteen", armed with box cutters, hijacked four commercial passenger aircraft and flew them three of them into occupied office structures.

The immediate tactical objective of that attack was to maximize grief, suffering, psychological impact, insecurity, distrust, physical destruction and economic damage to America. The extended tactical objective was to instill a sense of defeat, insecurity & helplessness; to effect the maximum possible negative impact on our will and ability to mount an effective counter attack and defense.

The strategic objective is to effectively eliminate what they perceive as the greatest obstacle to total global conquest & domination and the establishment of permanent Islamic hegemony.

The attack was not planned, funded facilitated and executed by a single nation state or alliance of nation states. It was planned and executed by believing Muslims, in the name of Allah. When they slit the throats of the flight crews, they shouted the takbir. "Allah hu Akbar" says it all. We do not need any investigation, we do not need any evidence, we do not require interrogations, trials or witnesses. The proof stands out clearly in Islam's cannon of scripture, tradition, exegeses & jurisprudence.

President Barack Hussein Obama, in his weekly address, made no mention of or allusion to the fatal facts stated above. He pretended that the G'd'd Abomination was the result of amorphous natural forces, equivalent to an earthquake or hurricane. In fact, it was an attack by enemies of the human race; deracinated zombies Hellbent on a course of maximal destruction by what they believe to be Allah's imperatives, threat & promise.

As a wise man said "Its Islam, stupid!". Not Al-Qaeda, the Muslim Brotherhood, 'extremists', 'radicals' neither was it terrorists. "Its Islam, stupid!"

Allah commands Muslims to conquer the entire world. The conquest imperatives are contained in Al-Anfal 39 & At-Taubah 29. "Fight them until" resistance ceases and "only Allah is worshiped", "altogether and everywhere". "Fight those who"... until they "pay the jizya" and "feel themselves subdued". What could possibly be re obvious?

Moe confirmed the imperatives, declaring that he was "ordered to fight the people" and "commanded to fight with men", the terminal condition in both cases being effective conversion & submission to Islam.

The imperatives are codified in Shari'ah, most clearly in Reliance of the Traveller, Book O, Chapter 9, Paragraph 8: "The caliph (o25) makes war upon Jews, Christians, and Zoroastrians "... . Jihad is defined as "war against non-Muslims", a "communal obligation" upon Muslims, "meaning upon the Muslims each year". Hedaya confirms the fact that jihad is undertaken on Islamic initiative, it is offensive, not defensive: "The destruction of the sword is incurred by infidels, although they be not the first aggressors" [Volume II, Book IX, Chapter `, Page 141]

The outcome is predicted in exegesis: Tafsir Ibn Kathir leaves no doubt.

Ten years ago, Shrub lied about the identity of the enemy who attacked us, presumably because his family is deep in the pockets of Saudi Arabia and he did not want to face well justified demands for the extermination of Islam.

Ten years later, Obamination persists in the same deception, presumably because he is a Muslim. He makes reference to ending the fighting in Iraq and withdrawing from Afghanistan, but none to why we invaded them. Both nations base their laws on Shari'ah, the same Islamic law that mandates yearly attacks against disbelievers. We lost those wars wasting billions of dollars and priceless lives & limbs. Victory requires stamping out Islam.

Thanks and a tip of the hat to Atlas Shrugs for bringing Obanination's spew of feces to my attention. But I am not in complete agreement with Pamela Geller: "The call for service on September 11th is inappropriate and sacrilegious. September 11th is a national day of mourning. Not service, remembrance for those who died in a surprise military strike against the United States of America conducted by the military wing of the global jihad, resulting in the largest loss of life in American history.".

September 11 should be a national day of cursing, neither service and not mourning. We should be united in raising our voices to God in supplication for the immediate death & eternal damnation of those who planned, financed, facilitated, executed, enjoyed, celebrated and sympathized with the attack. We should be united in prayer for the eternal damnation of Muhammad and the complete and permanent eradication of the war cult he founded.

Turds do not have clean ends. Islam does not have clean ends. It was created by Moe for his own personal emolument through the perpetuation of war, generating a continuing flow of spoils and tribute. Islam is mercenary, it can not be rendered beneficent. Islam is aggressively violent, it can not be rendered passive. For the disgusting details, see: Islam's Mercenary Mission and What's Wrong With Islam/Muslims?.

Obaminatio's spew is below, followed by my commentary on the major points.

Remarks of President Barack Obama
Weekly Address
Saturday, August 27, 2011

In just two weeks, we’ll come together, as a nation, to mark the 10th anniversary of the September 11th attacks. We’ll remember the innocent lives we lost. We’ll stand with the families who loved them. We’ll honor the heroic first responders who rushed to the scene and saved so many. And we’ll pay tribute to our troops and military families, and all those who have served over the past ten years, to keep us safe and strong.

We’ll also recall how the worst terrorist attack in American history brought out the best in the American people. How Americans lined up to give blood. How volunteers drove across the country to lend a hand. How schoolchildren donated their savings. How communities, faith groups and businesses collected food and clothing.

We were united, and the outpouring of generosity and compassion reminded us that in times of challenge, we Americans move forward together, as one people.

This September 11th, Michelle and I will join the commemorations at Ground Zero, in Shanksville, and at the Pentagon. But even if you can’t be in New York, Pennsylvania or Virginia, every American can be part of this anniversary. Once again, 9/11 will be a National Day of Service and Remembrance. And in the days and weeks ahead, folks across the country—in all 50 states—will come together, in their communities and neighborhoods, to honor the victims of 9/11 and to reaffirm the strength of our nation with acts of service and charity.

In Minneapolis, volunteers will help restore a community center. In Winston-Salem, North Carolina, they’ll hammer shingles and lay floors to give families a new home. In Tallahassee, Florida, they’ll assemble care packages for our troops overseas and their families here at home. In Orange County, California, they’ll renovate homes for our veterans. And once again, Michelle and I look forward to joining a local service project as well.

There are so many ways to get involved, and every American can do something. To learn more about the opportunities where you live, just go online and visit Serve.gov. Even the smallest act of service, the simplest act of kindness, is a way to honor those we lost; a way to reclaim that spirit of unity that followed 9/11.

On this 10th anniversary, we still face great challenges as a nation. We’re emerging from the worst economic crisis in our lifetimes. We’re taking the fight to al Qaeda, ending the war in Iraq and starting to bring our troops home from Afghanistan. And we’re working to rebuild the foundation of our national strength here at home.

None of this will be easy. And it can’t be the work of government alone. As we saw after 9/11, the strength of America has always been the character and compassion of our people. So as we mark this solemn anniversary, let’s summon that spirit once more. And let’s show that the sense of common purpose that we need in America doesn’t have to be a fleeting moment; it can be a lasting virtue—not just on one day, but every day.

Americans move forward together, as one people.

That crap belongs in a campaign speech, not in a remembrance of innocent lives lost in a violent attack by believers in Islam. For a politician who constantly divides the nation by race and economic status to mention togetherness, implying unity is the Acme of arrogance. "Move forward" implies the Socialist agenda of economic destruction & redistribution. That phrase belongs in a paid campaign commercial; it is entirely unrelated to the event being commemorated.

every American can be part of this anniversary

Those of us who are old enough to remember the Abomination can not avoid remembering the horrific events of that day. The image of jumpers evading the flames and smoke, hurtling toward the pavement below is indelibly imprinted on our memories. Likewise the image of the collapsing towers.

Far from being an empty clause, it is another appeal to unity: unity in voting to re-elect the worst President in American history. It belongs in a paid campaign commercial, not in a commemoration of innocent lives lost.

National Day of Service and Remembrance

There is no rational connection between service and remembrance. This clause, like its precedents, is polemical; unrelated to the topic at hand. "Service" fits right in with "sacrifice" and "eat your peas". I happen to like peas, I will eat as many as I can get my hands on when they are fresh. I had a bowl of pea soup for breakfast. I do not like the Socialist agenda of tax increases, which Obamination is promoting with his spew of excrement.

reaffirm the strength of our nation with acts of service and charity.

How did FDR reaffirm the strength of our nation after Pearl Harbor? "Service and charity" devolves into tax increases. It is entirely out of place in a speech remembering the Abomination.

Michelle and I look forward to joining a local service project as well.

Mr. President, do a national service, right now: resign! Resign!! Resign!!!

emerging from the worst economic crisis

No, we are plunging deeper into the abyss as a direct result of the Socialist agenda behind your outrageous policies. That phrase, like so many others, belongs in a paid campaign commercial.

taking the fight to al Qaeda

Al-Qaeda is a sub set of the enemy, not the enemy. Islam is the enemy. The war won't be over until Islam no longer exists; until there are no more Muslims. When every Muslim is dead or apostate, then the war will be ended in victory, not before.

ending the war in Iraq and starting to bring our troops home from Afghanistan

We have not won; we have lost and are losing because those nations are populated and governed by Muslims under Islamic law, the same law that mandates annual attacks on disbelievers.

rebuild the foundation of our national strength

The Declaration of Independence & Constitution are the foundation of our national strength; you are eroding and evading them. The clause actually refers to the economy, which you are deliberately destroying. Those words belong in a paid campaign commercial, not in a speech about the Abomination.

character and compassion of our people

This phrase and the clause it belongs to devolve into the theme of including the enemy under the umbrella of protection afforded by the Bill of Rights. "The right to peacefully practice Islam." Islam can not be practiced peacefully because "Jihad is ordained for you." and Muslims are not permitted to pick and choose from the Qur'an.

sense of common purpose

Common purpose? Communism! The phrase belongs in a paid campaign commercial.

not just on one day, but every day

So why bring it up now, in the context of remembering the G'd'd Abomination? A proper remembrance involves the 3000 who lost their lives and the thousands who suffered injuries, many of whom are disabled. A proper remembrance involves acknowledgment of the cause of those deaths & injuries and the identity & content of the ideology which motivated it. A campaign speech pushing the Socialist agenda is entirely out of place in that context.

Inside the Islamophobia Network

Inside the Islamophobia Network Muslims and their dhimmis are kvetching & caterwauling over what they perceive as a right wing extremist campaign to divert attention from the important items of their Socialist agenda by seeking laws to bar Shari'ah from American courts. Thanks and a tip of the hat to Bare Naked Islam for bringing this to my attention.

Inside the Islamophobia Network has a video in which snippets of remarks by several experts are used to create a false image of superficiality. The most accessible handbooks of Shari'ah run in excess of 1000 pages. The experts can't tell us everything in a few seconds of air time.

agenda: demonize Muslims

The "experts" called Shari'ah a threat, they accurately described it, they did not declare it satanic nor did they attach that label to Muslims. Shari'ah is a system of law based on the Qur'an & hadith. Many provisions of Shari'ah are not compatible with our Constitution.

link to terrorism

Terrorism is a battle tactic¹, the battle is part of jihad. Jihad is defined in Reliance of the Traveller, Book O, Chapter 9, which also describes the communal religious obligation to perform it annually. It describes the caliph as making war against Jews, Christians & Zoroastrians¹⁰ until they are subjugated and pay the jizya. It describes the caliph as fighting all other peoples until they become Muslim.

infiltration of Shari'ah

Shari'ah courts are operating in England, but not here, of course; it can't happen here. "This Shari'ah law business is crap". So Says Governor Christie.. But CSPI has a surprise for you: in the last three decades, fifty court cases have involved Shari'ah.

Shariah Law and American State Courts: An Assessment of State Appellate Court Cases
Version 1.4 / June 21, 2011 (PDF, 635 pages, 2.4 MB)

The Center for Security Policy’s report, Shariah Law and American State Courts: An Assessment of State Appellate Court Cases evaluates 50 Appellate Court cases from 23 states that involve conflicts between Shariah (Islamic law) and American state law.

The facts are the facts: some judges are making decisions deferring to Shariah law even when those decisions conflict with Constitutional protections.

Table 1 on page 44 enumerates the cases by state.
Table 3 on page 46 lists cases by category.
Table 4 enumerates compliant and non-compliant trial court decisions.
Table 5 enumerates compliant and non-compliant appellate decisions.
Table 6 on page 47 lists the conflicts by country of origin.

Twenty one cases dealt with marriage law and seventeen with child custody.

its crap!

The crap is flowing from the mouths of the smug, smarmy, holier than thou self-righteous deniers of objective factual reality. Shari'ah has been admitted to American courts already. Seventeen cases involved child custody. Do you have a clue concerning the relevant provisions of Shari'ah? I have some clues for you.

This is not hate speech. This is not demonization. This is not Islamophobia. This is exposing a significant sample of the provisions of Islamic law so that you can see and understand them. I am providing quotes and links to source documents so that you can delve as deeply into them as you like. Reliance of the Traveller, Books M & N regulate marriage and divorce.

This partial table of contents comes from page 508 of the text, page 526 of the pdf.
Child Care and Custody m13.0
Meaning of Child Care mB.O(O:)
Precedence Order of Who Deserves Child's Custody m13.1
Conditions for Eligibility to Have Child Custody m13.2
Non-Muslim Day-Care Centers, Schools, Etc. m13.3
A Woman Who Remarries Loses Right to Custody m13.4
Older Children Decide Which Parent to Stay With mB.5

Now we are going to get down to some gritty detail. There is blessed good reason why Shari'ah should not be enforced in our courts and I shall now expose you to it.

Shari'ah denies custody to a secular mother

Shari'ah denies custody to a Christian mother

m13.2 The necessary conditions for a person to
have custody of a child are:
(a) uprightness (def: 024.4) (0: a corrupt
person may not be a guardian, because child care
is a position of authority, and the corrupt are
unqualified for it. Mawardi and Ruyani hold that
outward uprightness (def: m3.3(f) is sufficient
unless there is open wrongdoing. If the corruptness
of a child's mother consists of her not performing
the prayer (sal at) , she has no right to
custody of the child, who might grow up to be like
her, ending up in the same vile condition of not
praying, for keeping another's company has its
effects);
(b) sanity (0: since a mother uninterruptedly
insane has no right to custody, though if her
insanity is slight. such as a single day per year. her
right to custody is not vitiated by it);
(c) and if the child is Muslim, it is a necessary
condition that the person with custody be a Muslim
(0: because it is a position of authority, and a
non-Muslim has no right to authority and hence
no right to raise a Muslim. If a non-Muslim were
given charge of the custody and upbringing of the
child, the child might acquire the character traits
of unbelief (kufr». {Emphasis added.}

Under Shari'ah a divorced woman loses custody of her children if she does not perform Salat, if she remarries or if she is not a Muslim. If you do not comprehend this, go back and read sections a, c & d again.

Risala treats of custody in Chapter 33 on page 332 of the pdf.
Maliki & Shafi'ite do not agree perfectly.

33.9b. Custody
After a divorce, the woman has custody of a boy until he reaches puberty
and a girl until she marries and the marriage consummated.
[This is the right of the mother, be she free or slave, Muslim, or Kitabi, sensible or
foolish according to Ibn 'Arafa. This right also pertains if she is widowed. The
girl's maintenance is owed by the father until her marriage is consummated.]
33.9c. Order of custody
After that if the mother dies or remarries, custody goes to the grandmother
and then the maternal aunt. If there are no female relatives of the mother,
then it goes to one of the sisters and paternal uncles. If there are none,
then the agnate relatives.
[Custody goes first to the mother's mother and then the father's mother.]

Hedaya, Volume I, page 138 on page 197 of the pdf, has this ruling, which indicates that re-marying would void the mother's right to custody.

In case of separation, the care of the infant
children belongs to the mother, the right
of nursing and keeping it rests with the
mother, because it is regarded that a woman
once applied to the. prophet, sayiug, " 0,
prophet of God ! this 1s .my son, the fruit
of my womb, cherished in my bosom and
suckled at my breast, and his father is desirous
of taking him away from me into ,his
own care ;"-to which the prophet replied,
" thou hast a right in the child prior to that
of thy husband, so long as thou dost not
marry with a stranger :'

On page 139, page 198 of the pdf, there is another interesting ruling. A non-Muslim woman loses custody once the child is old enough to decide on religion.

And also an infidel mother the wife of a
Mussulman or female infidel
subject, married to a Mussulman, is entitled
to the Hizanit of her child, although he be
a Mussulman like the father; but this only
so long as the child is incapable of forming
any judgment with respect to religion, and
whilst there is no apprehension of his imbibing
an attachment to infidelity ; but when
this is the case, he must be taken from.the
mother, because, although it be for the child's
advantage to be under her care until that
period, his remaining longer with he might
prove injurious.

forced marriage

Should a father be able to compel his pre-pubescent daughter to marry? He is, if Shari'ah is applied.

m3.13 Guardians are of two types, those who
may compel their female charges to marry someone,
and those who may not.
(1) The only guardians who may compel
their charge to marry are a virgin bride's father or
father's father, compel meaning to marry her to a
suitable match (def: m4) without her consent.
(2) Those who may not compel her are not
entitled to marry her to someone unless she
accepts and gives her permission.
Whenever the bride is a virgin, the father or
father's father may marry her to someone without
her permission, though it is recommended to ask
her permission if she has reached puberty. A virgin's
silence is considered as permission.
As for the nonvirgin of sound mind, no one
may marry her to another after she has reached
puberty without her express permission, no matter
whether the guardian is the father, father's
father, or someone else.

Risala rules on this issue in page 302 of the pdf.

32.2 The authority of the guardian
32.2a. A father arranging the marriage of a virgin daughter
A father can arrange the marriage of his virgin daughter without her permission even if she is
beyond the age of puberty. It is up to him whether he consults her or not.
[To whomever he wants for the dowry he wishes, even for less than a suitable dowry. He can give her
choice, and it states in al-Jawahir and elsewhere that it is recommended that he ask her permission.]

Hedaya covers this issue tangentially in Volume I, page 32, in the second column of Page 93 of the pdf.

I focused on the child custody issue because of its familiarity and critical importance. If your daughter marries a Muslim, gives you grand children and is divorced by tripple talaq, do you want the provisions listed above to determine who gets custody? If your wife is raped, do you want her to be required to provide four male witnesses to prove it? What is your attitude toward being excluded from being a witness because you are not Muslim?

Shari'ah compliant finance is a related issue, requiring the payment of a 2.5% tax. 12.5% of that tax must be paid to those "fighting in Allah's cause" ie. terrorists. Do you give a damn?

Remember, "it's crap!"; it can't happen here, "nobody is demanding it"; except that there have already been 50 cases involving Shari'ah in state trial and appellate courts. It will happen unless we rise up to put a stop to it. If your state has pending legislation to exclude foreign law, contact your legislators and ask them to vote for it. Contact your Congressman to ask him to co-sponsor and vote for H.R. 973. Congress.org lets you email your state and federal legislators without knowing their names or district numbers.

Educating our Youth about Islam

Regular readers of my posts know that my specialty is deliaring pious frauds. In the present case, two clues stand out from the beginning. First, the source: Common Ground News: the name implies the existence of common ground shared by Islam and Western Civilization where no common ground exists. The second clue is the French word in the title: it is impossible to re-establish cordial relations because only a state of war has existed since the foundation of Moe's war cult.

Three keys to Christian-Muslim rapprochement in the United States
Michael S. Bos

Before 9/11, many Americans were blissfully ignorant about Islam. After 9/11, everyone had something to say about it. Unfortunately, much of it was based on half-truths and unsubstantiated claims that cast Islam’s past, present and future as one of violence. This has left us with the great need and challenge of reshaping our public understanding of Islam in America.

Islam: violence

past

"How many Ghazwat did the Prophet undertake?" Zaid replied, "Nineteen."[Sahih Bukhari 5.59.285] Visit Wikipedia's article on Moe's military career and view the list of battles in the right sidebar. Next, visit the Wikipedia article on Islamic conquests and view the map in the right sidebar.

How was Islam established? "By Jihâd Islâm is established, Allâh’s Word is made superior, (His Word being Lâ ilaha illallâh which means none has the right to be worshipped but Allâh), and His Religion (Islâm) is propagated. "[Noble Qur'an footnote to 2:190]

What is jihad? Al-Jihâd (holy fighting) in Allâh’s Cause (with full force of numbers and weaponry); "Jihad means to war against non-Muslims"[Reliance of the Traveller O9.0]

present

The Armenian genocide, attempted reconquest of Israel, Indian civil war, Lebanese civil war and subsequent terrorist attacks are ample evidence of the continuance of jihad.

future

I do not have a crystal ball, and I doubt that Mr. Bos has one, but we do have Islamic texts. Allah's jihad imperative against Jews & Christians, contained in Surah At-Taubah 29, is outcome oriented, with neither geographic nor chronological limits. Moe's oral tradition has a clue for us:
"jihad will be performed continuously since the day Allah sent me as a prophet until the day the last member of my community will fight with the Dajjal ".
[Sunan Abu Dawud14.2526] Of course, Sunan Abu Dawud is ranked third in authenticity; perhaps we should consult the most authentic hadith collection. "The Hour will not be established until you fight with the Jews, and the stone behind which a Jew will be hiding will say. "O Muslim! There is a Jew hiding behind me, so kill him."[Sahih Bukhari 4.52.177] "The Hour" refers to the day of judgment, when the gates of Paradise will swing open to Muslims.

Perhaps Mr. Box will favor us with a comment elaborating on the "half truths" and "unsubstantiated claims", but I won't hold my breath waiting.

understanding of Islam

Exactly what is wrong with our "public understanding of Islam" that needs to be "reshaped"? Is it the infamous lie by President Bush that "Islam is a great religion of peace"? Is it his infamous lie that "Islam has been hijacked", or is it both?

Just a cursory review of the number of evangelical Christian responses to “A Common Word” (www.acommonword.com), a letter written by a number of high profile Muslim leaders that outlines common principles in the Muslim and Christian scriptures, evidences this.

common word

I have seldom seen such a slickly crafted and target rich fraud as the Ulema's missive to Christianity. My initial dissection ran to 45KB. I later created a separate blog, Go Burn With Muhammad, primarily to deliar it in detail.

People have overcome biases and changed opinions because of their relationships with Muslims. It is through the face of another, not facts about them, that we are forced to re-examine our positions. As the number of people who find themselves in relationships with Muslims increases, so will the fairness and respect with which they treat their faith.

relationships with Muslims

Our relationship with Muslims is prey:predator, nothing can change that objective factual reality. We do not have Muslim friends. Allah explicitly forbids friendly relations with Kuffar. This is one of nine explicit prohibitions: 5:51. O you who believe! Take not the Jews and the Christians as Auliyâ' (friends, protectors, helpers, etc.), they are but Auliyâ' to one another. And if any amongst you takes them as Auliyâ', then surely he is one of them. Verily, Allâh guides not those people who are the Zâlimûn (polytheists and wrongdoers and unjust).. The prohibition extends to parents & siblings[9:23].

face, not facts

Stare into the eyes of a photograph of Usama bin Ladin or Nidal Malik Hasan. How do their visages force you to re-examine your positionon Islam?
The assertion is so absurd on its face as to require no elaboration.

fairness

Fairness is an abstract concept that can neither be efficiently defined nor measured. Exactly how does it apply to Islam? What is fair; is it allowing the construction of Mosques in America while no church can be built in Saudi Arabia or Egypt? Is it fair to tell office workers in Britain that they must not eat in the presence of Muslim co-workers during Ramadan?

respect

Respect, like credit, is given where respect is due. Islam is not due any respect; it is due contempt and detestation. How can a Christian respect a cult whose doctrine denies the patrimony, deity, crucifixion, death & resurrection of his Savior and reveres him as a genocidal warlord? How can a freeman respect a cult whose doctrine postulates a divine mission to conquer him?

As I consider what the next ten years will hold in our rapprochement with Islam, I think the answer largely depends on where our youth will get their information. Make no mistake about it, someone will teach them.

where our youth will get their information

They will not receive relevant, accurate factual information from the public schools because Islam is already infiltrating and intimidating the text book publishers and those who set the standards for text books.

They will not receive relevant, accurate factual information about Islam from the mainstream media, because they are infiltrated & intimidated. They will not receive it from politicians because most of them are either ignorant or politically correct.

Will our youth receive relevant, accurate factual information about Islam from the church? Will Sunday school divert attention from the Gospel to the Qur'an, Life of Muhammad and hadith? Will our youth slog through several hundred pages of redundant, obtuse Arab fantasy? Will they read an 800 page biography? Will they slog through thousands of redundant and fantastic stories about men long dead? Perhaps they might if you tell them there is sex in it.

Will the church introduce students to the writings of Robert Spencer, Andrew Bostom, Andrew McCarthy or Raymond Ibrahim? Fat chance. Perhaps the students will become curious and search the web for information. With luck, they might discover this blog post and click its links.

Our youth have been exposed to disparate components of Islam and will not accept only broad generalisations and a bottom line message that Islam is a religion of peace – please be clear that I am not countering this as the religion’s ideal.

Islam is a religion of peace

While that might be the personal ideal of a substantial sub set of Muslims, it is not Allah's ideal nor that of his Messenger. A religion of peace would not devote two chapters of its scripture to the warfare, commanding its votaries to engage in it, commanding its Messenger to urge them to it and laying down rules for division of spoils. If Islam were a religion of peace, its canon law would not define a "religious obligation" to attack disbelievers in every year.

A religion of peace would not threaten its votaries with eternity in Hellfire if they refuse to go to war, nor would it promise them admission to Paradise if they join the jihad. A religion of peace would not impute "steps" to injure or enrage disbelievers to its votaries as "deeds of righteousness", accruing Brownie Points toward admission to Paradise.

Chrislam: Malignant Malarkey

NPR has a story about friendship between a church and a mosque: A Ramadan Story Of Two Faiths Bound In Friendship. It seems that a church offered the use of its facility while the mosque was under construction. A year later, the two groups cooperate in charity projects.

So friendly, touchy~feeley & upbeat; what a great story. Unfortunately, the story values form over substance. Christianity and Islam do not share a common deity. Christians worship the God of Israel. Muslims worship Allah, one of 360 idols in the Kaaba before Moe throw out the other 359.

The Christian God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten son. Allah has no son, only a slave, who was not crucified, did not die and was not resurrected, who will return to kill the Jews & Christians and rule the world by the Qur'an. Allah demands human blood sacrifice, setting great slaughter as Moe's price of admission to Paradise.

But Muslims and Christians can be friends and share common goals, can't they? Allah said they can't, and repeated it frequently.

What do pious Muslims pray for during Ramadan? Of course, they pray for blessing and forgiveness, and something more, which I have highlighted to make it stand out.

And bless us our hearing, and our sight, and our faculties, as long as You allow us to live; and make them protectors for us against the transgressions we have committed; and make us victorious over our enemies; and do not allow us to have problems in our deen; and do not allow us to make the life of this world our greatest concern; and remove from us difficulty in attaining knowledge; and do not make hellfire our destination; and make jannah our home; and do not impose upon us, because of our sins, people who lack mercy and do not fear You (as authorities over us)

Invite Muslims into our churches to remind Allah why he should burn us, pray four our defeat and the overthrow of our government; what a great idea.

Google: Commercial & Prejudicial Injustice

I received information by emal from Logan's Warning: Google has withdrawn its Ad Sense service from the web site because it publishes negative information and opinion about Islam.

VIOLATION(S) FOUND:

HATE/ANTI: Publishers are not permitted to place Google ads on sites with content advocating against any individual, group, or organization.More information about this policy can be found in our help center (https://www.google.com/adsense/support/as/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=105947).

ACTION TAKEN: We have disabled ad serving to your site.

Logan's Warning advocates for individual and civilizational life & liberty by warning against the demonic doctrines and predatory actions of Islam. Google's action is equivalent to censoring and squelching those warning about Hitler's program of world conquest in World War II and Communism;s program of expansion after the war.

Christopher Logan performs a service I am not in a position to perform: he produces local interest video from Islamic places and events in N.Y.C and does first person local reporting. Christopher incurs expenses in his reporting as well as in domain registration and site hosting. He needs to monetize his site to offset those expenses.

By complaining to Google against Logan's Warning, Muslims are attempting to silence an effective voice which exposes their demonic ideology. I hope that you will visit http://loganswarning.com/2011/08/22/google-disables-ads-on-logans-warning/ , sign up for email updates and develop a habit of making regular visits to the site. I hope that those who are financially able will click Logan's donation button and contribute to the site's mission. It may be the most you can do to preserve freedom of expression.
