Ron Prosor and the Fatal Fact He Dare Not Reveal

Security Council-"Situation in the Middle East, including the Palestinian Question"  Israel's UN representative, Mr. Ron Prosor, spoke to the Security Council today, bringing to the surface several truths while evading the most fatal fact. The concluding paragraph of his remarks  at once sums up thespeech and points out its hollow core. 

Sustainable peace must be negotiated. It must be nurtured. It must be anchored in security. It must take root in homes, schools and media that teach tolerance and understanding, so that it can grow in hearts and minds. It must be built on a foundation of younger generations that understand the compromises necessary for peace. A brighter future in the Middle East must be forged from within, when we are open and honest about the challenges before us – and resolute in our determination to meet them together.

when we are open and honest

    I have concluded that will be on the 33rd day of the month of never. Is there any Israeli elected or appointed to high office or likely to be elected or appointed who has the requisite fortitude to openly speak the truth about the permanent war against Israel?  I doubt it; I doubt that any such leader will arise in the foreseeable future. 

    It is true that peace can not be imposed without genocide. It is true that Israeli settlements are not the obstacle to peace. But it is not true that a two state solution is possible or would be if the Arab institutions would cease inculcating hatred, glorifying & inciting aggression.  The Arabs will not cease those activities and if they did, it would make no difference.

Its Islam, stupid!

    Ambassador Prosor can not speak that simple truth, expressing that fact would be fatal to his career.  The content of the Qur'an, exemplified by Moe's sunnah, rules out peace.  Peace is not possible and never will be. Examine the fatal facts. 
  • 1:6. Guide us to the Straight Way 

    1:7. The Way of those on whom You have bestowed Your Grace, not (the way) of those who earned Your Anger (such as the Jews), nor of those who went astray (such as the Christians).  

  • 2:161. Verily, those who disbelieve, and die while they are disbelievers, it is they on whom is the Curse of Allâh and of the angels and of mankind, combined.
  • 5:60. Say (O Muhammad  to the people of the Scripture): "Shall I inform you of something worse than that, regarding the recompense from Allâh: those (Jews) who incurred the Curse of Allâh and His Wrath, those of whom (some) He transformed into monkeys and swines, those who worshipped Tâghût (false deities); such are worse in rank (on the Day of Resurrection in the Hell­fire), and far more astray from the Right Path (in the life of this world)." 
  • 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. 
  • 9:30. And the Jews say: 'Uzair (Ezra) is the son of Allâh, and the Christians say: Messiah is the son of Allâh. That is a saying from their mouths. They imitate the saying of the disbelievers of old. Allâh's Curse be on them, how they are deluded away from the truth!

    9:31. They (Jews and Christians) took their rabbis and their monks to be their lords besides Allâh (by obeying them in things which they made lawful or unlawful according to their own desires without being ordered by Allâh), and (they also took as their Lord) Messiah, son of Maryam (Mary), while they (Jews and Christians) were commanded [in the Taurât (Torah) and the Injeel (Gospel)) to worship none but One Ilâh (God - Allâh) Lâ ilâha illa Huwa (none has the right to be worshipped but He) . Praise and glory be to Him, (far above is He) from having the partners they associate (with Him)."

    9:32. They (the disbelievers, the Jews and the Christians) want to extinguish Allâh's Light (with which Muhammad  has been sent - Islâmic Monotheism) with their mouths, but Allâh will not allow except that His Light should be perfected even though the Kâfirûn (disbelievers) hate (it). 

  • 98:6. Verily, those who disbelieve (in the religion of Islâm, the Qur'ân and Prophet Muhammad ()) from among the people of the Scripture (Jews and Christians) and Al-Mushrikûn will abide in the Fire of Hell. They are the worst of creatures.
  • 7:167. And (remember) when your Lord declared that He would certainly keep on sending against them (i.e. the Jews), till the Day of Resurrection, those who would afflict them with a humiliating torment. Verily, your Lord is Quick in Retribution (for the disobedient, wicked) and certainly He is Oft­Forgiving, Most Merciful (for the obedient and those who beg Allâh's Forgiveness).
  • Sahih Bukhari Volume 4, Book 52, Number 177:
        Narrated Abu Huraira:

        Allah's Apostle said, "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 Volume 4, Book 53, Number 392:

        Narrated Abu Huraira:

        While we were in the Mosque, the Prophet came out and said, "Let us go to the Jews" We went out till we reached Bait-ul-Midras. He said to them, "If you embrace Islam, you will be safe.You should know that the earth belongs to Allah and His Apostle, and I want to expel you from this land. So, if anyone amongst you owns some property, he is permitted to sell it, otherwise you should know that the Earth belongs to Allah and His Apostle." 

  • Sunan Abu Dawud 14.2477
    Narrated Ibn Hawalah:

        The Prophet (peace_be_upon_him) said: It will turn out that you will be armed troops, one is Syria, one in the Yemen and one in Iraq. Ibn Hawalah said: Choose for me, Apostle of Allah, if I reach that time. He replied: Go to Syria, for it is Allah's chosen land, to which his best servants will be gathered but if you are unwilling, go to your Yemen, and draw water from your tanks, for Allah has on my account taken special charge of Syria and its people.

    Jews: "earned Allah's wrath", "sons of apes and swine", "worst of living creatures". Allah commands Muslims to wage war against Jews and promises to continuously send someone to humiliate and torment them. Who will he send?  Allah has, on Moe's account, taken special charge of the Jews.  And Muslims are going to let Jews live in peace? Yeah, right. 

Impossible!!!

    Three ayat absolutely rule out that possibility.  Israel, by recovering a tiny fragment of her ancient patrimony seized by Muslims in 638, proves the fact that Allah is an impotent idol whose promise is vain.  This fatal fact makes peace between Jews & Muslims absolutely impossible.
  • 8:65. O Prophet (Muhammad )! Urge the believers to fight. If there are twenty steadfast persons amongst you, they will overcome two hundred, and if there be a hundred steadfast persons they will overcome a thousand of those who disbelieve, because they (the disbelievers) are people who do not understand.

    8:66. Now Allâh has lightened your (task), for He knows that there is weakness in you. So if there are of you a hundred steadfast persons, they shall overcome two hundred, and if there are a thousand of you, they shall overcome two thousand with the Leave of Allâh. And Allâh is with As-Sâbirin (the patient ones, etc.).

  • 13:41. See they not that We gradually reduce the land (of disbelievers, by giving it to the believers, in war victories) from its outlying borders. And Allâh judges, there is none to put back His Judgement and He is Swift at reckoning.
Allah promised a 10:1 kill ratio.  He reduced the ratio because the Muslims could not cut the mustard.  Allah's judgment: Islamic conquest is final; there is none to put it back!  Allah gives the land to Muslims through conquest and the gift is irreversible!  This is your first clue.

    Allah promised permanence of conquest yet Israel recovered some of her land. Allah promised a 2:1 kill ratio, yet Arab armies, fare more numerous, were defeated in 1948, 1967 and 1973.  Israel is proof of the fact that Allah is an impotent idol; Islam is an impious fraud!  To Muslims, that is the worst possible blasphemy and they can never tolerate it.  They absolutely must reconquer Israel to restore Allah's honor.

    Israel will never obtain peace & security until Islam becomes extinct. This is the fatal fact which none dares to acknowledge.  Pretending that it does not exist is suicidal because, like Wylie Coyote, Islam will keep attempting genocide & politicide until it succeeds. . 

Islam Demands Censorship!!!

Thanks and a tip of the hat to Creeping Shariah for the tip off.  A search for transcripts proved fruitless. It appears that the Daily Caller is the root source for the crucial quotes.  The Justice Department met with Islamicists to discuss discrimination: "Confronting Discrimination in the Post-9/11 Era: Challenges and Opportunities Ten Years Later"

to redefine criticism as discrimination, said Sahar Aziz,

Read more:

The word “Muslim,” she said, “has become racialized. … I don’t accept this formalistic cop-out that this is all about religion.”

Read more:

Aziz’s advocacy was supported by a second Islamist advocate, Islamic Society of North America president Mohamed Magid. He argued that “teaching people that all Muslims are a threat to the country… is against the law and the Constitution.”


"redefine criticism as discrimination"  

    A Muslim law professor expressed confidence that the sharp DOJ lawyers can redefine criticism of Islam as discrimination to make it illegal.  The familiar context of discrimination is "whites only", excluding racial minorities from public accommodations. 

   

"formalistic cop-out that this is all about religion"

    Your race; skin color & physiognomy ain't at issue; neither is religion. The issue is adherence to a set of doctrines which inculcate hatred of and incite violence against all non-Muslims.  The redefinition concept is neither original nor an empty threat. The UN has already proclaimed it. 

The following quote is from Preliminary document of the African Regional Conference Preparatory to the Durban Review Conference  [Emphasis added.] 4.  Emphasizes the urgent need to address the scourges of anti-Semitism, Christianophobia, and Islamophobia as contemporary forms of racism as well as racial and violent movements based on racism and discriminatory ideas directed at African, Arab, Christian, Jewish, Muslim and other communities;

teaching people that all Muslims are a threat to the country"

    All Islamic believers are threats to the country. This is because they are obligated to participate in global conquest. I refer doubters & dissenters to the all purpose handbook of Shafi'ite fiqh aka Shari'ah: Reliance of the Traveller.

O9.1: The Obligatory Character of Jihad

Jihad is a communal obligation (def: c3.2).  When enough people perform it to successfully accomplish it, it is no longer obligatory upon others (O: the evidence for which is the Prophet's saying (Allah bless him and give him peace),

"He who provides the equipment for a soldier in jihad has himself performed jihad,"

and Allah Most High having said:

"Those of the believers who are unhurt but sit behind are not equal to those who fight in Allah's path with their property and lives. Allah has preferred those who fight with their property and lives a whole degree above those who sit behind. And to each, Allah has promised great good" (Koran 4:95).

If none of those concerned perform jihad, and it does not happen at all, then everyone who is aware that it is obligatory is guilty of sin, if there was a possibility of having performed it. 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).

All Muslims are potential threats.

    Secular o in name only Muslims can 'get religion' and become believers without warning.  Islamic hate literature, web sites, clerics and friends may convince a secular Muslim of the validity of Allah; his jihad imperative, threat and promise

    When someone believes that his eternal destiny: paradise or the fire is dependent on his participation in genocidal conquest, what will he do?  Once their numbers are sufficient to confer a degree of  impunity, they will obey Allah, emulate Moe, and attack the disbelievers nearest them

   

But they aren't all attacking us.

    Did every Muslim participate directly in the conquests of Arabia, Egypt, Syria & India?   Islamic conquest is fard al-kifaya, binding on all until a sufficient number have responded, not fard ayn.  Read Reliance O9.1 again.  Muslims are obligated to join the jihad when called

criticism of Islam: illegal

    How is it possible that revealing these fatal facts about Islam is "discrimination" and "against the Constitution"?  Only when we are intimidated or conquered!
When Muslims conquer dar ul-harb,  Jews, Christians & Zoroastrians living in the former domain of war are subjected to Islamic law.  Reliance of the Traveller, O11.10 lists five acts which break the contract of dhimmitude, subjecting the violator to the death penalty.

-5- or mentions something impermissible about Allah, the Prophet (Allah bless him and give him peace), or Islam.

    What is "impermissible to mention" ? Reliance O8.7 lists 20 acts which entail apostasy. Here are the most relevant items from that list. 

-4- to revile Allah or His messenger (Allah bless him and give him peace);

-5- to deny the existence of Allah, His beginingless eternality, His endless eternality, or to deny any of His attributes which the consensus of Muslims ascribes to Him (dis: v1);

-6- to be sarcastic about Allah's name, His command, His interdiction, His promise, or His threat;

-7- to deny any verse of the Koran or anything which by scholarly consensus (def: b7) belongs to it, or to add a verse that does belong to it;

-15- to hold that any of Allah's messengers or prophets are liars, or to deny their being sent;

-16- to revile the religion of Islam;

-19- to be sarcastic about any ruling of the Sacred Law;

-20- or to deny that Allah intended the Prophet's message (Allah bless him and give him peace) to be the religion followed by the entire world (dis: w4.3-4) (al-Hadiyya al-`Ala'iyya (y4), 423-24). )

    Reviling Islam, Allah or Moe gets one killed; any and all criticism of Islam is fatal under Islamic law. That is what they are seeking to subject us to.  The purpose is to render us defenseless against demographic subversion & militant jihad alike.  This is akin to outlawing criticism of Nazism during  WW2.

Justice Department: Counter-Terrorism Training or Indoctrination?

Salam Al-Marayati, President of the MPAC, has an interesting op-ed piece in the Los Angeles Times.  Lets focus on the important points.

"Law enforcement and intelligence agencies' continued use of anti-Muslim training materials could lead to the collapse of a critical partnership with the Muslim American community."

training materials

    Exactly what "anti-Muslim" training materials are they using?  I want to see a list of the texts & audio-visual materials involved.  Are those materials objective or subjective; what if anything is wrong with their content?

partnership

    Allah expressly forbids Muslim-kuffar partnerships in several ayat including 3:28, 3:118 & 60:1. [Click these links for parallel translations,  the next set for context.]

3:28. Let not the believers take the disbelievers as Auliyâ (supporters, helpers, etc.) instead of the believers, and whoever does that will never be helped by Allâh in any way, except if you indeed fear a danger from them. And Allâh warns you against Himself (His Punishment), and to Allâh is the final return.

3:118. O you who believe! Take not as (your) Bitânah (advisors, consultants, protectors, helpers, friends, etc.) those outside your religion (pagans, Jews, Christians, and hypocrites) since they will not fail to do their best to corrupt you. They desire to harm you severely. Hatred has already appeared from their mouths, but what their breasts conceal is far worse. Indeed We have made plain to you the Ayât (proofs, evidences, verses) if you understand.

60:1. O you who believe! Take not My enemies and your enemies (i.e. disbelievers and polytheists, etc.) as friends, showing affection towards them, while they have disbelieved in what has come to you of the truth (i.e. Islâmic Monotheism, this Qur'ân, and Muhammad ), and have driven out the Messenger (Muhammad ) and yourselves (from your homeland) because you believe in Allâh your Lord! If you have come forth to strive in My Cause and to seek My Good Pleasure, (then take not these disbelievers and polytheists, etc., as your friends). You show friendship to them in secret, while I am All-Aware of what you conceal and what you reveal. And whosoever of you (Muslims) does that, then indeed he has gone (far) astray, (away) from the Straight Path .


    Have MPAC & CAIR  leaders jeopardized eternal destiny by allying themselves with disbelievers or are they practicing al-taqiyya by creating a false appearance of partnership?

FBI training Materials

    Al-Marayati refers to Wired Magazine's Danger Room Blog as his source for his description of the FBI's training materials. Here are his main points:
  • bigoted and inflammatory views on Muslims
    • devout Muslims more violence prone
    • Islam aims to drag victims back to the 7th century
    • Zakat funds combat
    • Muhammad lead a violent cult.  

devout Muslims more violent

    Two ayat define believers as those who "fight in Allah's cause", which is to make Islam dominate the world.
  • 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 . 
  • 49:15. Only those are the believers who have believed in Allâh and His Messenger, and afterward doubt not but strive with their wealth and their lives for the Cause of Allâh. Those! They are the truthful. 
Who is more likely to engage in jihad: the secular or Muslim in name only or the believer who accepts Allah's threat and promise at face value? drag victims

Islam seeks to drag its victims back to the 7th century

    Islam seeks to impose Shari'ah: the laws derived from Moe's recitation & sunnah, upon the entire world. That includes lapidation, lashing & amputation as punishments for crimes.

Zakat funds combat

    Shari'ah requires Muslims to pay zakat of 2.5% on accumulated wealth and financial transactions.  The rules of zakat are codified in Reliance of the Traveller, Book H.  There are eight categories of recipients of zakat who receive equal shares;  the seventh category is those fighting in Allah's cause. H8.17

Muhammad lead a violent cult

    If you can find a good working definition of cult, we can argue whether or not Islam was a cult under Moe's leadership. The Branch Dividians of Waco were said to be a cult because their leader arranged marriages and exploited children.  Moe also arranged marriages and exploited a child.  Leaving the cult issue aside, was Islam violent under Moe's leadership?  Several slides in Gawthrop's PowerPoint presentation are derived from the table of contents of The Life of Muhammad.  Those slides consisted of the names of raids, battles, attacks and conquests engaged in or ordered by Moe.

    Part III is the Migration, wars, triumph and death. It begins on page 219 and spans through 678.  Moe personally participated in 17 battles. How peaceful.

Here are the relevant blog posts by Spencer Ackerman:


Two minutes and forty two seconds into the video  embedded in the last of the cited blog posts, Rep. Jan Schakowsky, D. Il9 reads a list of radicalization indicators including:
  • increased isolation from [inaudiable]
  • wearing traditional Islamic attire
  • growing facial hair
  • frequent attendance at a mosque or prayer group
  • travel to a Muslim country
  • increased activity in pro-Muslim social groups or political cause
  • proselytizing
    • "If you change Muslim to Christian or Orthodox Jewish, you could find the same kinds of activities." 
    If a Muslim undergoing 'radicalization' seems isolated from his family, it might be because Moe ordered Muslims not to associate with disbelievers.  The baggy pants, long shirt & turban might be warning signs, but not necessary elements of 'radicalization'. 

    Practicing fitra could very well be a sign of 'radicalization'. If a Muslim grows a long beard, shaves his mustache & body hair, those are signs of ardent belief.

    Zealous Muslims are expected to attend the five compulsory prayers every day on a fairly rigid schedule. 

    Hajj is one of the hallmarks of a believer. But pilgrimage to Pakistan is frequently associated with attendance at terrorist training camps.  Dawah is another sign of zealotry.  What  is wrong with police and security personnel observing the initiation and intensification of the listed behaviors?  One who transitions from Muslim in name only to believer is likely to display some if not all of those characteristic behaviors. Any or all of those signs could precede  sudden jihad syndrome. 

    Jews might grow beards and go to the Synagogue.  They might even visit Jerusalem. But how many Jews are hijacking airliners and planting bombs?  Does God command them to conquer the world?  Does he promise them admission to Paradise if they wage war and threaten them with eternal damnation if they shirk? 

    Christians might grow beards, attend Church services frequently, make pilgrimage to Rome & Jerusalem, but how many terrorist acts are perpetrated by zealous Christians?  Did Jesus Christ command them to conquer the world, engage in genocide & practice terrorism?  Did he model those behaviors for them to emulate? 

destructive ideas

"More important, Muslim leaders, not FBI agents, can more effectively battle Al Qaeda's destructive ideas."

    What destructive ideas, and who really owns them?   In his lecture, Gawthrop indicated that winning the war requires combating the ideas which motivate Muslims to wage it.  I will go farther, listing the worst of them with sources & confirmation in Shari'ah.
  • Only Allah has the right to rule. [18:26, 33:36]
  • Only Allah has the right to be worshiped. [3:2]
  • Jihâd (holy fighting in Allâh's Cause) is ordained for you. [2:216]
    • Al-Jihâd (holy fighting) in Allâh’s Cause (with full force of numbers and weaponry) is given the utmost importance in Islâm and is one of its pillar (on which it stands). 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.[2:190]
    • Jihad means to war against non-Muslims, and is etymologically derived from the word mujahada signifying warfare to establish the religion.[Reliance of the Traveller, O9.0]
  • Fight pagans until only Allah is worshiped on a global scale. [8:39]
    • 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) ) [Reliance o9.9]
  • Fight "people of the book" until they are subjugated and submit to extortion. [9:29]
    • 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,... [Reliance O9.8]
  • O you who believe! Fight those of the disbelievers who are close to you...[9:123]
  • "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...."[9:111]
  • "...nor they take any step to raise the anger of disbelievers nor inflict any injury upon an enemy but is written to their credit as a deed of righteousness...."[9:120]
  • Go to Jihad and go to Paradise or go to Hell. [9:38-39, 61:10-12]
  • "The destruction of the sword  is incurred by infidels, although they be not the first aggressors, as appears from various passages in the  sacred writings which are generally received this effect." [Hedaya, Volume II, Book IX, Chapter 1, page 141]
  • "War must be carried on against the Infidels, at all times, by some party of the Muslims." [Hedaya, Volume II, Book IX, Chapter 1, page 140]
  • A Prophet must make great slaughter before ransoming prisoners for profit. [8:67]
  • "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." [Sahih Bukhari 1.8.387]
  • "We shall cast terror into the hearts of those who disbelieve..." [3:151]
  • "I will cast terror into the hearts of those who have disbelieved..."[8:12]
  • to strike terror 
    The ideas outlined above come from Allah's word and Moe's sunnah. They define Islam; normative Islam, neither extremism nor radicalism.  Jihad, genocide & terror are the mainstream, not the right fork of Islam. 

"Biased and faulty training leads to biased and faulty policing."

    Perhaps it would be better to have complete and objective training. Everyone involved in terrorism prevention & prosecution should be required to read all of the following:

    Terrorism is an intrinsic sacrament of Islam, sanctified by Allah's saying that he would and did cast terror and Moe's bragging of being made victorious by casting terror.  Islam and terrorism are inseparable. Barring all reference to Islam in relation to one of its sacraments is the Acme of suicidal insanity.

The Schalit Exchange: Suicidal Stupidity

The title pretty well says it; there is no use trying to conceal my disgust.  Freeing one thousand genocidal murderers in return for one Israeli is not a good deal.

    First and foremost, you get more of what you reward and less of what you punish. Freeing capture terrorists is an incitement to terrorism.  It gives them another opportunity to torment and kill Jews and other innocent people. 

    Yes, I recognize the fact that Schalit is worth millions of zombies.  The answer is to kill a million zombies while demanding his immediate release; not to send  one thousand back to the battlefield.  

    How many shootings, rocket & mortar attacks, suicide bombings, rock attacks and vehicular assaults is Schalit's return worth?   I doubt that his parents can see that price tag.  Surely the media and the politicians will never acknowledge it.  Yet Israel will pay in blood, both in the short and long terms. 

    As each of those zombies is welcomed as a conquering hero, with schools, streets, parks and events named after them and other tributes, the enemy will gain great psychological advantage. 

    There is a difference between living to kill and killing to live.  Too many people are unable to comprehend the difference.  Crack open your Qur'an and read Sural Al-Anfal 67.

8:67. It is not for a Prophet that he should have prisoners of war (and free them with ransom) until he had made a great slaughter (among his enemies) in the land. You desire the good of this world (i.e. the money of ransom for freeing the captives), but Allâh desires (for you) the Hereafter. And Allâh is All-Mighty, All-Wise.

Sahih Muslim 19.4345 has a message for us. It is a long hadith, I will include a brief excerpt which contains the most vital information.

So I brought them, driving them along. Among them was a woman from Banu Fazara. She was wearing a leather coat. With her was her daughter who was one of the prettiest girls in Arabia. I drove them along until I brought them to Abu Bakr who bestowed that girl upon me as a prize. So we arrived in Medina. I had not yet disrobed her when the Messenger of Allah (may peace be upon him) met me in the street and said: Give me that girl, O Salama. I said: Messenger of Allah, she has fascinated me. I had not yet disrobed her. When on the next day. the Messenger of Allah (may peace be upon him) ag;tin met me in the street, he said: O Salama, give me that girl, may God bless your father. I said: She is for you. Messenger of Allah! By Allah. I have not yet disrobed her. The Messenger of Allah (may peace be upon him) sent her to the people of Mecca, and surrendered her as ransom for a number of Muslims who had been kept as prisoners at Mecca.


What was the narrator planning to do to that woman?  What was more important to Moe?  Taking captives for ransom is part of their tactical manual.  The obvious solution is to quit taking prisoners. When you capture zombies, send them directly to Hell, where they belong.

    The captivity of Schalit and death of his colleagues is a consequence of failure to comprehend and counter the enemy's tactics.  Sending a small force when a large force is required is penny wise and pound foolish.  When they plant bombs along the fence, send in air cover to find their locations and cut them off from escape and reinforcement.  When you send in the patrol to defuse the bombs, give them plenty of cover and backup. 

    Consider the happy homecoming: what if Schalit comes back in a box?  How can you face the families of murdered Jews in that case?  How will you face the survivors of the victims of ensuing attacks?   You should never place yourself in that position.

   

Christie & Palin: Wall Flowers; So What?

I can't get excited about the announcements that Governors Christie & Palin are not candidates for the GOP nomination.  Big deal.  Christie is important because he won in a 'crat heavy state and took on the unions.  Palin is important because she almost pulled McCain's bacon out of the fire. 

    The press, pundits & hierarchy love Christie because he projects a conservative image without being conservative.  The press & pundits would build him up before the nomination is cinched and tear him down afterwards.  They want to select our nominee again; another loser just like last time. 

    The press, pundits & hierarchy hate Palin because she is a conservative.  Her record as Governor of Alaska makes no difference, they want a Socialist in power, preferably one they can manipulate and exploit.  Nothing could stop them from harping on the family issue and Sarah's mis-statements any more than I could be stopped from harping on her insane statements about Islam. 

    The press, pundits & hierarchy seek enlargement of the field for several reasons.  Most importantly, they want pseudo-conservatives; they are more interested in image than substance. They hate the true conservatives and seek the destruction of their campaigns.  A large field reduces the money and media attention available to the back of the field, and that is exactly what the power brokers want. 

    In this election cycle, the party's base of faithful core supporters is more important than ever.  Now is the time for the base to rise up and demand a choice, not an echo.  Goldwater & Reagan are dead; the time of a new generation has come, and its leaders must step up and meet the challenge.

    Our role is to test those leaders and measure their mettle. We must reserve the selection to ourselves in the primaries & caucuses, we must tell the press, pundits & hierarchy to sit down and shut up. If we let them choose, we lose, and we may never recoup.

UN Counter Terrorism: Cognitive Dissonance

In a previous post, I detailed the statements of Allah and his messenger which sanctify, mandate and incite Islamic terrorism, as expressly denied in three statements before the General Assembly's 6th Committee.  This post concentrates on the cognitive dissonance exemplified by those statements. 

    The fun begins with the double representation of Kazakhstan as a member of the SCO  and a representative of the OIC.  How does Kazakhstan reconcile these polar opposite positions?

  • condemning terrorism in all its forms and manifestations, regardless of its
    motivation, wherever, whenever and by whomsoever committed.
  • terrorism, irrespective of its motivation, objectives, forms and manifestations,
    committed by whomsoever and wherever, can never be justified.
  • without any "double standards"
  • ---------------------------------------------------------------------
  • root causes of terrorism including unlawful use of
    force, aggression, foreign occupation, festering international disputes, denial of
    the right of peoples living under foreign occupation to self-determination,
  • outstanding issues including those related to the legal definition of terrorism,
    particularly on the distinction between terrorism and the struggle for the rights of
    self-determination by people under foreign occupation,
    How is it possible at once to condemn all forms of terrorism, regardless of motivation, location &  perpetrator without double standards and to exclude terrorist attacks against Israel from the definition of terrorism?  How can it be permissible to bomb civilian mass transit in Israel but not in Europe?

    The fun continues with cognitive dissonance regarding the root cause of terrorism. 
  • The SCO member States express grave concern over the expansion of terrorist ideology.
  • We actively support the widespread prevention of terrorism, including countering the ideology that nourishes it.
  • ----------------------------------------------------
  • No religion or religious doctrine encourage or inspires acts or terrorism.
  • improving the living conditions of the poor and unemployed youth and
    people living under political and historical oppression and foreign occupation.
  • In this connection, we note that attempts to link terrorism with any particular religion or a particular ethnic
    group are themselves provocative and contributes to the spread of terrorism.
China swerves into the truth by citing terrorist ideology, but does not name or describe it, obviously because of excessive political correctness. China's affiliate, Kazakhstan, assigns economic injustice, oppression & occupation as causes of terrorism.  Which is it: the belief that Allah demands global conquest, sanctifies & mandates terrorism as exemplified by his messenger, or poverty and foreign occupation? 

    Qatar brings another dimension to cognitive dissonance, asserting that exposing the Islamic doctrines that incite terrorism provokes terrorism.  If Islam was not involved, exposing it would not provoke Muslims to engage in terrorism.  With one sentence, Qatar blows up the entire house of cards.

China/SCO

It is my great honor to speak today on behalf of the Members
of the Shanghai Cooperation Organization (SCO): the Republic of
Kazakhstan, the Kyrgyz Republic, the Russian Federation, the
Republic of Tajikistan, the Republic of Uzbekistan , and my own
country the People's Republic of China.

The SCO reiterates its fundamental position of condemning
terrorism in all its forms and manifestations, regardless of its
motivation, wherever, whenever and by whomsoever committed.

In this regard, the SCO Member States
emphasizes that counter-terrorism cooperation should be
conducted on the principle of respect for international law
including state sovereignty and without any "double standards" .

The SCO member States express grave concern over the
expansion of terrorist ideology. Representatives of numerous
ethnicities with different religious beliefs and cultural traditions
live in the territory of this Organization. It is vital that the idea of
condemning terrorism becomes an intrinsic part of the dialogue
between religions and civilizations. We actively support the
widespread prevention of terrorism, including countering the
ideology that nourishes it.

Kazakhstan/OIC

The OIC Group reaffirms that terrorism should not be associated with any religion,
race, faith, theology, values, culture, society or group. No religion or religious
doctrine encourage or inspires acts or terrorism, and, thus, none should be
portrayed as such.

To achieve this objective the OIC Group support a comprehensive strategy to combat
terrorism that must address the root causes of terrorism including unlawful use of
force, aggression, foreign occupation, festering international disputes, denial of
the right of peoples living under foreign occupation to self-determination,
political and economic injustices, and political marginalization and alienation.

We reaffirm our determination to make every
effort to reach a consensus agreement on the draft convention, by resolving the
outstanding issues including those related to the legal definition of terrorism,
particularly on the distinction between terrorism and the struggle for the rights of
self-determination by people under foreign occupation, and colonial or alien
domination, as well as on the scope of the acts covered by the draft Convention.

Qatar/Arab Group

On the other hand, it is unfortunate that a large part of international efforts to
combat terrorism is limited to reactions to terrorism and its symptoms, rather than
discussing and addressing its root causes and eliminating the factors that feed it. For
international efforts to eliminate terrorism to succeed, it is imperative to address its
root causes, as recognized by the United Nations Global Counter-Terrorism Strategy,
and the relevant resolutions of the Security Council. This includes several aspects,
including improving the living conditions of the poor and unemployed youth and
people living under political and historical oppression and foreign occupation. We
must also prevent the incitement to hatred, including incitement to violence and
hatred of minorities of ethnic groups, religions and foreigners. In this connection, we
note that attempts to link terrorism with any particular religion or a particular ethnic
group are themselves provocative and contributes to the spread of terrorism.

Root Cause of International Terrorism

Speakers at the General Assembly's 6th Committee raised the issue of causation, invoking unstated false premises:

  • International terrorism can be eliminated by removing a few root causes. 
  • The root causes of international terrorism do not include ideology. 
    Examine Qatar's statement, which approaches the Acme of arrogance. [All emphasis added.]

poverty & unemployment

    Yeah, that's the ticket! Usama bin Ladin formed al-Qaeda because he was impoverished and unemployed. A construction engineer with inherited wealth, bin Ladin was motivated by something else, not poverty.

political and historical oppression

    Were the medical, law & engineering students who were studying in European universities motivated to mount terrorist acts by oppression?  Were they oppressed by the European nations they attacked or were they oppressed by dictatorships in Arabia & Asia?

foreign occupation

    Exactly what foreign nation was America occupying & oppressing September 11,2001?  We were protecting Kuwait & Saudi Arabia from invasion and enforcing UN resolutions in Iraq, we were not engaged in occupation & oppression.

link terrorism with any particular religion

    I provoke terrorism by publicizing the fact that Islamic terrorism flows directly from Islamic doctrines enshrined in the Qur'an & exemplified by Moe's sunnah.  Yeah, right.

     "We shall cast terror into the hearts of those who disbelieve", "I will cast terror into the hearts of those who have disbelieved", "deal with them so as to strike fear in those who are behind ", "to strike terror into (the hearts of) the enemies, of Allah", "Allah brought them down from their forts and cast terror into their hearts, (so that) a group (of them) you killed, and a group (of them) you made captives.", "Indeed, you strike more terror in their hearts than their fear of God".

    "Allah made me victorious by awe, (by His frightening my enemies) for a distance of one month's journey."  "I have been made victorious with terror (cast in the hearts of the enemy)"

    Lets strip off the chaff and review what Allah & Moe said.

  • I will cast terror
  • to strike terror
  • Allah cast terror
  • you strike more terror
  • victorious with terror
    Surah At-Taubah 120 contains the smoking fuse, a statement which confirms the rest in the worst possible way. Muslims earn Brownie Points by terrorism: "That is because they suffer neither thirst nor fatigue, nor hunger in the Cause of Allâh, nor they take any step to raise the anger of disbelievers nor inflict any injury upon an enemy but is written to their credit as a deed of righteousness."

    Of course, it could not possibly mean that, could it.  But two of the most respected exegetes agree: Tafsir Ibn Kathir & Tafsir al-Jalalayn.
http://www.islam-universe.com/tafsir//9.22174.html

(nor they take any step to raise the anger of disbelievers), by strategies of war that would terrify their enemy,

(nor inflict), a defeat on the enemy,

(but is written to their credit) as compensation for these steps that are not under their control, but a consequence of performing good deeds that earn them tremendous rewards,


http://www.altafsir.com/Tafasir.asp?tMadhNo=0&tTafsirNo=74&tSoraNo=%209&tAyahNo=%20120&tDisplay=yes&UserProfile=0

nor tread they any tread (mawti’an is a verbal noun, meaning wat’an) that enrages the disbelievers, nor gain any gain from the enemy, of God, be it through slaughter, capture or plunder, but a righteous deed is therefore recorded for them, that they may be rewarded for it. Truly God does not leave the wage of the virtuous to go to waste, that is, the wage of those [mentioned], rather He rewards them.

Focus on the most significant elements again:
  • Exactly what part of 9:120 do you not comprehend?
    • raise the anger of disbelievers
    • enrages the disbelievers
    • good deeds that earn them tremendous rewards
    • a defeat on the enemy
    • slaughter, capture or plunder
    • righteous deed is therefore recorded for them
    Lets put it together to make the pattern crystal clear.
  • Do Allah's words and Moe's bragging match up in a congruent pattern or not? 
    • I will cast terror
    • strike fear
    • strike terror
    • Allah cast terror
    • you are more of a terror
    • victorious with terror.
    Lets take a closer look at the concluding clauses of 8:57 & 59:2 to make the pattern stand out.
  • What do these ayat have in common?
    •  so that they may take admonition
    •  so that they may be admonished
    • will always be aware of the threat of your power
    • so that they take a lesson
      • So learn a lesson, O ye who have eyes!
      • take warning, then, O ye with eyes (to see)!
      • Then take admonition, O you with eyes (to see).
    Brigadier General S.K. Malik wrote a strategy manual for Pakistan's army. It is called "The Qur'anic Concept of War". What role might terror play therein?

Terror struck into the hearts of the enemies is not only
a means, it is the end in itself. Once a condition of terror into
the opponent's heart is obtained, hardly anything is left to be
achieved. It is the point where the means and the end meet
and merge. Terror is not a means of imposing decision upon
the enemy; it is me decision we wish to impose upon him.

Terror cannot be struck into the hearts of an army by merely
 cutting its lines of communication or depriving it of its routes
of withdrawal. It is basically related to the strength or weakness
of the human soul. It can be instilled only if the opponent's
Faith is destroyed. Psychological dislocation is temporary;
spiritual dislocation is permanent. Psychological dislocation can be
produced by a physical act but this does not hold good of the
spiritual dislocation. To instill terror into the hearts of the enemy, 
it is essential. in the ultimate analysis, to dislocate his Faith. An
invincible Faith is immune to terror. A weak Faith offers inroads
to terror. The Faith conferred upon us by the Holy Qur'an has
the inherent strength to ward off terror from us and to enable
us to strike terror into the enemy. Whatever the form or type of
strategy directed against the enemy, it must, in order to be effective,
be capable of striking terror into the hearts of the enemy. A strategy
that fails to attain this condition suffers from inherent drawbacks
and weaknesses; and should be reviewed and modified. This rule
is fully applicable to nuclear as well as conventional wars. It is
equally true of the strategy of nuclear deterrence in fashion
today. To be credible and effective, the strategy of deterrence
must be capable of striking terror into the hearts of the enemy.


If the first sentence in the quote from page 59 of The Qur'anic Concept of war did not clue you in, you should do the world a favor by removing yourself from the gene pool; you are too stupid to reproduce, much less vote. 

UN Can't Define International Terrorism

While the United Nations pretend to condemn and eliminate international terrorism, they don't know what they are condemning and eliminating.  The United Nations are unable to reach consensus on a definition of international terrorism.   In this post, I will delve into  the divisive issue of defining international terrorism.

    Mr. Yousef Sultan Laram, Deputy Permanent Representative of the State of Qatar to the United Nations raised the issue of definition of terms.

An important step to combat terrorism would be to find a clear and realistic  definition to this phenomenon. In this regard, we must distinguish between terrorism and legitimate resistance movements against foreign occupation.

When Irgun bombed the King David Hotel, was that an act of terrorism or an act of legitimate resistance to foreign occupation?  Was Great Britain occupying Israel or not? Did the Balfour Declaration promise Israel independence in their national homeland or not?

    The Permanent Mission of Kazakhstan on behalf of the OIC Group worded the same concept a bit differently.

We reaffirm our determination to make every effort to reach a consensus agreement on the draft convention, by resolving the outstanding issues including those related to the legal definition of terrorism, particularly on the distinction between terrorism and the struggle for the rights of self-determination by people under foreign occupation, and colonial or alien domination, as well as on the scope of the acts covered by the draft Convention.

    China approaches the issue very carefully, by indirection.

SCO Member States emphasizes that counter-terrorism cooperation should be conducted on the principle of respect for international law including state sovereignty and without any "double standards" .

The "double standards" reference must be to Islam's arrogant implication that  their bloody murders ain't terrorism.  When they blow up an Israeli school bus or a British subway, that ain't terrorism, its "legitimate resistance".  Their arrogance is exposed by two logical fallacies.

    When Irgun bombed the King David Hotel, was that an act of terrorism or an act of legitimate resistance to foreign occupation? No, it was both.  Was Great Britain occupying Israel or not? Did the Balfour Declaration promise Israel independence in their national homeland or not?  The resistance was legitimate, the attack was terrorism. If we accept Islam's definition, the bombing of the King David Hotel was not terrorism.

    Israel is occupied by Arab Muslims, not occupying them. The Levant belongs to Jews, it is their homeland, not the Arab's.  Caliph Umar's conquest in 638 does not confer legitimate title; Israel's recovery of Judea & Samaria as a consequence of Islam's genocidal attack in 1967 conveys legitimate title. 

    Afghanistan is occupied by NATO forces as a consequence of its complicity in the Accursed Abomination. Resistance to that invasion and occupation is not legitimate.
