All In The Family: Shaima Alawadis: Not Victim of Islamophobia!

All In The Family: Shaima Alawadis: Not Victim of Islamophobia! Thanks and a tip of the hat to Bare Naked Islam! A few readers with elephantine memories will recall the mysterious battery of Shaima Alawadis which precipitated her death.  An obviously forged note was produced, casting suspicion on an unknown "Islamophobe". The usual line up of self-righteous AssWholes proceeded to do their ritual song & dance blaming "Islamophobia" & 'hate speech" implying that "right wing extremist" bloggers caused her death. 

    Months after the echo of the song reverberated their last notes, an arrest has been made in the infamous case. The person arrested is not an Islamophobe inspired to  murder by "extremist" blog posts.  He is Shaima's husband.  Her death has the hallmarks of honoricide.

    How convenient to blame her  death on  those who  sound a warning about the damnable doctrines & practices of Islam including  genocidal conquest, slavery, barbarian rapine & terrorism.   If the  government would only silence us, Shaima would still be alive.  Yeah, right.  I will not hold my breath waiting for an apology from the LibTards & AssWholes.

We are all Shaima!

    Shame on you: AssWholes! If married to a Muslim, you very well could join her in the hospital if not the cemetery.  You exploited a brutal murder for political gain, unjustly accusing the innocent of  inspiring & inciting murder.  [Emphasis added.]

4:34. Men are the protectors and maintainers of women, because Allâh has made one of them to excel the other, and because they spend (to support them) from their means. Therefore the righteous women are devoutly obedient (to Allâh and to their husbands), and guard in the husband's absence what Allâh orders them to guard (e.g. their chastity, their husband's property, etc.). As to those women on whose part you see ill­conduct, admonish them (first), (next), refuse to share their beds, (and last) beat them (lightly, if it is useful), but if they return to obedience, seek not against them means (of annoyance). Surely, Allâh is Ever Most High, Most Great.

The parenthetical "lightly, if it is useful"  is not in the original Arabic text.  Source:  Corpus Quran

Alternative translations:  http://www.islamawakened.com/Quran/4/34/  Tafsir Ibn Kathir teaches against severe beating.

    Indeed Moe told his followers not to beat their wives severely, but in doing so, he let the cat out of the bag. This text is found on page 651of The Life of Muhammad.

You have rights over your wives and they have rights over you. You
have the right that they should not defile your bed and that they should
not behave with open unseemliness. If they do, God allows you to put
them in separate rooms and to beat them but not with severity. If they
refrain from these things they have the right to their food and clothing
with kindness. Lay injunctions on women kindly, for they are prisoners
with you having no control- of their persons. You have taken them only
as a trust from God,³ and you have the enjoyment of their persons by the
words of God, so understand (T. and listen to) my words, 0 men, for
I have told you.

3. *bi amanati ilah* This is a difficult phrase. It is probably to be understood in the sense
of Sura 8. 27 and more particularly 33. 72 where the Quranic commentators differ widely.
See Lane, 102a.

    The oral traditions of Moe's companions amplify the concept for us.  Moe first told his companions not to beat their wives, then he revised his order. And don't beat your wife as you would your slave girl.

Sunan Abu Dawud Book 11, Number 2139:

Narrated Mu'awiyah al-Qushayri:

I went to the Apostle of Allah (peace_be_upon_him) and asked him: What do you say (command) about our wives? He replied: Give them food what you have for yourself, and clothe them by which you clothe yourself, and do not beat them, and do not revile them.

Sunan Abu Dawud Book 11, Number 2141:

Narrated Abdullah ibn AbuDhubab:

Iyas ibn Abdullah ibn AbuDhubab reported the Apostle of Allah (peace_be_upon_him) as saying: Do not beat Allah's handmaidens, but when Umar came to the Apostle of Allah (peace_be_upon_him) and said: Women have become emboldened towards their husbands, he (the Prophet) gave permission to beat them. Then many women came round the family of the Apostle of Allah (peace_be_upon_him) complaining against their husbands. So the Apostle of Allah (peace_be_upon_him) said: Many women have gone round Muhammad's family complaining against their husbands. They are not the best among you.

Sunan Abu Dawud Book 1, Number 0142:

Narrated Laqit ibn Sabirah:

I was the leader of the delegation of Banu al-Muntafiq or (the narrator doubted) I was among the delegation of Banu al-Muntafiq that came to the Messenger of Allah (peace_be_upon_him). When we reached the Prophet, we did not find him in his house. We found there Aisha, the Mother of the Believers. She ordered that a dish called Khazirah should be prepared for us. It was then prepared. A tray containing dates was then presented to us. (The narrator Qutaybah did not mention the word qina', tray).

Then the Messenger of Allah (peace_be_upon_him) came. He asked: Has anything been served to you or ordered for you? We replied: Yes, Messenger of Allah. While we were sitting in the company of the Messenger of Allah (peace_be_upon_him) we suddenly saw that a shepherd was driving a herd of sheep to their fold. He had with him a newly-born lamb that was crying.

He (the Prophet) asked him: What did it bear, O so and so? He replied: A ewe. He then said: Slaughter for us in its place a sheep. Do not think that we are slaughtering it for you. We have one hundred sheep and we do not want their number to increase. Whenever a ewe is born, we slaughter a sheep in its place.

(The narrator says that the Prophet (peace_be_upon_him) used the word la tahsabanna, do not think).

I (the narrator Laqit) then said: Messenger of Allah, I have a wife who has something (wrong) in her tongue, i.e. she is insolent. He said: Then divorce her. I said: Messenger of Allah, she had company with me and I have children from her. He said: Then ask her (to obey you). If there is something good in her, she will do so (obey); and do not beat your wife as you beat your slave-girl.

I said: Messenger of Allah, tell me about ablution. He said: Perform ablution in full and make the fingers go through the beard and snuff with water well except when you are fasting.

 

 

Honoricide

    The Qur'an depicts the killing of a boy who was expected to dishonor his parents by taking the wrong path.  The murder was in anticipation of the birth of a better child who would be obedient and not sinful.

18:74. Then they both proceeded, till they met a boy, he (Khidr) killed him. Mûsa (Moses) said: "Have you killed an innocent person who had killed none? Verily, you have committed a thing "Nukra" (a great Munkar - prohibited, evil, dreadful thing)!"

18:80. "And as for the boy, his parents were believers, and we feared lest he should oppress them by rebellion and disbelief.

18:81. "So we intended that their Lord should change him for them for one better in righteousness and near to mercy.

    Shari'ah provides no retaliation for killing one's offspring or grandchildren.  This is from page 584 of Reliance of the Traveller.

O1.2 The following are not subject to retaliation:...
(4)  a father or mother (or their fathers or
mothers) for killing their offspring, or offspring's
offspring;

Innocence of Muslims Update: CAIR Wants You to Know Moe: Free DVD

 I learn from God Discussion, that the St. Louis chapter of CAIR has put up a billboard offering a dvd containing the PBS hagiography of Moe: "Muhammad: Legacy of a Prophet.". The billboard offers two methods of contacting CAIR to ask questions about Moe or to order the dvd: (636) 686-0650 and an email legacy@cair-stlouis.com .  This is CAIR's response to The Innocence of Muslims. If you have not seen that trailer, view it now before reading and viewing further. For documentation of the trailer's conceptual content, see this blog post: http://dajjal.posterous.com/innocence-of-muslims-true-or-false-you-be-the


    The billboard advertises a web address: http://www.knowthelegacy.com/ . It also offers a single sentence about Moe: "The man who came in peace.".
Lets examine the veracity of that description.  Tafsir Ibn Kathir  quotes three hadith, two of which are relevant to this issue.

(I was sent with the sword just before the Last Hour, so that Allah is worshipped alone without partners. My sustenance was provided for me from under the shadow of my spear. Those who oppose my command were humiliated and made inferior, and whoever imitates a people, he is one of them.)
http://www.islam-universe.com/tafsir//57.52680.html

When a man says that he was "sent with the sword", I have doubts about his passivity.  When he says that his income came from his spear and those who oppose him were humiliated, the doubt increases in intensity. But there is more. 

http://www.soebratie.nl/religie/hadith/IbnSad.html#01.1.25.7
Volume 1, Parts 1.25.7
He (lbn Sa`d) said: `Abd Allah Ibn Numayr informed us on the authority of Malik i.
e. Ibn Mighwal, he on the authority of Abu Husayn, he on the authority of Mujahid,
he on the authority of the Apostle of Allah, may Allah bless him; he said:
I am Muhammad and Ahmad, I am Rasul al-Rahmah, I am Rasul al-Malhamah, I
am al-Muqaffi and a1-Hashir; I have been raised for Jihad and I am not raised for
tillage.

Moe said that he was "raised for Jihad", not "for tillage". What is Jihad; is it peaceful? How are Jihad and agriculture alternatives? Lets tackle the first question with a translator's footnote to Surah Al-Baqarah 2:190 which defines the word.

(V.2:190) 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. By abandoning Jihâd (may Allâh protect us from that) Islâm is destroyed and the Muslims fall into an inferior position; their honour is lost, their lands are stolen, their rule and authority vanish. Jihâd is an obligatory duty in Islâm on every Muslim, and he who tries to escape from this duty, or does not in his innermost heart wish to fulfil this duty, dies with one of the qualities of a hypocrite.
Narrated ‘Abdullâh bin Mas‘ûd رضي الله عنه: I asked Allâh’s Messenger صلى الله عليه وسلم "O Allâh’s Messenger! What is the best deed?" He replied, "To offer the Salât (prayers) at their early fixed stated times." I asked, "What is next in goodness?" He replied, "To be good and dutiful to your parents." I further asked, "What is next in goodness?" He replied, "To participate in Jihâd in Allâh’s Cause." I did not ask Allâh’s Messenger صلى الله عليه وسلم anymore and if I had asked him more, he would have told me more. (Sahih Al-Bukhâri, Vol.4, Hadîth No.41).
http://www.qurancomplex.com/Quran/Targama/Targama.asp?nSora= 2&l=eng&nAya= 190# 2_ 190

According to the translators, Jihad is "holy fighting" , of the utmost importance, a pillar of Islam  that establishes and propagates Islam. If Jihad is abandoned, Muslims lose their temporal power.  But what is the legal definition? 

Chapter O9.0: Jihad

(O: Jihad means to war against non-Muslims, and is etymologically derived from the word mujahada signifying warfare to establish the religion. And it is the lesser jihad. As for the greater jihad, it is spiritual warfare against the lower self (nafs), which is why the Prophet (Allah bless him and give him peace) said as he was returning from jihad.

``We have returned from the lesser jihad to the greater jihad.''

The scriptural basis for jihad, prior to scholarly consensus (def: b7) is such Koranic verses as:

-1- ``Fighting is prescribed for you'' (Koran 2:216);

-2- ``Slay them wherever you find them'' (Koran 4:89);

-3- ``Fight the idolators utterly'' (Koran 9:36);

and such hadiths as the one related by Bukhari and Muslim that the Prophet (Allah bless him and give him peace) said:

``I have been commanded to fight people until they testify that there is no god but Allah and that Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah, and perform the prayer, and pay zakat. If they say it, they have saved their blood and possessions from me, except for the rights of Islam over them. And their final reckoning is with Allah'';

and the hadith reported by Muslim,

``To go forth in the morning or evening to fight in the path of Allah is better than the whole world and everything in it.''Details concerning jihad are found in the accounts of the military expeditions of the Prophet (Allah bless him and give him peace), including his own martial forays and those on which he dispatched others. The former consist of the ones he personally attended, some twenty-seven (others say twenty-nine) of them. He fought in eight of them, and killed only one person with his noble hand, Ubayy ibn Khalaf, at the battle of Uhud. On the latter expeditions he sent others to fight, himself remaining at Medina, and these were forty-seven in number.)
http://www.shariahthethreat.org/wp-content/uploads/2011/04/reliance_of_the_traveller.pdf#page=617

Jihad means war against infidels, of course it must be purely defensive, right? 

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).
http://www.shariahthethreat.org/wp-content/uploads/2011/04/reliance_of_the_traveller.pdf#page=622

Offensive Jihad against passive infidels is fard Kifaya, a communal obligation and required in every year.  Perhaps we should cross check this to make sure of it. 

Hedaya Vol II, Book IX, Ch. 1 Pg. 141  PDF 154
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.
http://www.archive.org/stream/hedaysorguide00hamigoog#page/n154/mode/1up

The Shafi'i & Hanifi schools of fiqh hold offensive Jihad to be fard Kifaya and constant. We need a third opinion, lets turn to the Maliki school.

30.2b. Inviting people to Islam first
And it is preferable, according to us, that the enemy are not fought until they have been invited
to the din of Allah except if they attack first.
[The Malikis prefer that each group be called upon to abandon their disbelief and be called to the
shahada whose contents are not prescribed. He calls to the general message of the Prophet for three
days in succession unless they attack first. Then the call is not recommended. Indeed, it becomes
obligatory to fight them.]
http://www.baytulislam.org/Documents/fiqh/imammalik/The-Risala-A-Treatise-on-Maliki-Fiqh.pdf#page=284

    Three strikes and you are out: Islamic law holds offensive Jihad, undertaken on Islam's initiative against passive infidels, without provocation, to be an  annual mandate.  Moe said that he was raised for Jihad, not for tillage.  One hadith illustrates the difference: Jihad and agriculture are alternative sources of income and wealth.  Jihad is preferred over agriculture. 

Sunan Abu Dawud Book 23, Number 3455:

Narrated Abdullah ibn Umar:

I heard the Apostle of Allah, (peace_be_upon_him) say: When you enter into the inah transaction, hold the tails of oxen, are pleased with agriculture, and give up conducting jihad (struggle in the way of Allah). Allah will make disgrace prevail over you, and will not withdraw it until you return to your original religion.

What would they abandon?  Jihad. What would they return to?  Jihad. What is their religion? Jihad. What is Jihad?  Aggression  against infidels. Jihad is not listed as one of the five pillars of Islam, so what is its status?  Jihad is the highest peak of Islam!

Then, he said, “Shall I not inform you of the head and pillar of the issue and the apex of
its hump?” I said, ‘Certainly, O Messenger of Allah (SAW) .” He said, “Its head is Islam, its
pillar is Salah and the apex of its hump is jihad.” Then he said, “Shall I not tell you about
the root of that”? I said, “Certainly, O Messenger of Allah (SAW)!” He held his tongue
and said, “Keep it in check.” I asked, “Shall we be taken to task for what we speak with
it”? He said, “May your mother weep at you, O Mu’adh! Will people be cast in hell on
their faces or on their nostrils except as the consequence of their tongues?”
[Ahmed 22-77,Ibn Majah 3973]

    Having dispensed with the al-taqiyya about Moe being peaceful, I present to you the PBS documentary, available to everybody, not just those in St. Louis.   I watched it on tv several years ago, and found it to be hagiographic due to the LibTard bias of PBS.  Some alternatives follow. 

    An alternative documentary consists of narration, apparently from Lings' Sira, and classical and modern art.  I was surprised to find  two of Moe's murders of critics mentioned in this series.  The producer is a skeptic.

Before I tell you about original sources, I present for inducement of slumber a long, slow paced narration, apparently from Ishaq's Sira. I did not listen to much of this, so I can not tell you whether it is complete. It is likely to be biased, because it is narrated by a Sheikh.

Books

    Ishaq's Sirat Rasul Allah was edited by Hishham to remove material embarrassing to Islam.  Judging by what remains, that was one Hell of a book! Guillaume translated Hishham's Rescension as The Life of Muhammad. 

    Tabari's 40 volume world history runs parallel to Ishaq and the translators use Ishaq as a reference.  Volumes 6-9 are of interest. Having read Volume 8, I can recommend it without reservation. 

    Those books are not inexpensive, and there is a great deal of dross to slog through to reach the juicy bits.  Fortunately for us, Craig Winn sorted them out  for us. His 1000 page The Prophet of Doom combines the Qur'an, hadith, Ishaq & Tabari to provide context & chronology. The most significant quotes from those sources are included in an appendix Winn melds five Qur'an translations, so those quotes will not match up directly with the standard works but the
hadith , Ishaq and Tabari quotes are faithfully reproduced. 

    Ibn Sa'd's hadith collection is effectively a sira.  While, like other hadith collections, there is much redundancy, you will find some interesting material not available in the other collections, including extensive quotes from Moe's extortion letters. 

    The Sealed Nectar comes close to being an official biography.  It confirms much of the material in the other books. If you combine this book or Ibn Sa'd's with the six hour lecture series, your curiosity should be well satisfied.

Tawfik Hamid: Reform Islam

Tawfik Hamid, writing at NEWSMAX, wants to reform Islam. Here are a few vital points from his article.

• Suspend the traditional teaching that Muslims must wage wars on non-Muslims to offer them one of three options: convert to Islam, pay jizia (humiliating tax paid by non-Muslims to Muslims), or be killed.
• Publish new theologically-based books of Islamic jurisprudence that stand against beating women, slavery, killing apostates, and other violent edicts of Shariah.
• As long as the Muslim world insists on teaching violent principles as mentioned earlier, the gap between it and the West will only increase, and the efforts to bridge the gap of civilizations will be inefficient.
• Once the Muslim world puts an end to the destructive points, the voices that emphasize the “common values” will be able to succeed in their great mission to make our world better.

The aforementioned "traditional teaching" is found in the Qur'an: 8:39, 9:29 & Sahih Muslim 19.4294. There is a problem with attempting to suspend teaching of Qur'anic doctrine. Allah's word describes itself as perfected in 5:3 "This day, I have perfected your religion for you, completed My Favour upon you, and have chosen for you Islâm as your religion".

Allah's perfect and final words can not be changed, Allah strictly forbids it. Allah said: "And the Word of your Lord has been fulfilled in truth and in justice. None can change His Words." 6:115 & 18:27. Allah said "No change let there be in Khalq­illâh (i.e. the Religion of Allâh Islâmic Monotheism), that is the straight religion, but most of men know not." 30:30. Allah's messenger confirmed it with a curse: "'Far removed, far removed (from mercy), those who changed (their religion) after me." Sahih Bukhari 8.76.585.

The clear and absolute prohibitions are confirmed by Shari'ah. Reliance of the Traveller contains a list of acts which entail apostasy, which carries a death sentence. These items are included in that list. O8.7.

-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;

-14- to deny the obligatory character of something which by the consensus of Muslims (ijma`, def: B7) is part of Islam, when it is well known as such, like the prayer (salat) or even one rak'a from one of the five obligatory prayers, if there is no excuse (def: u2.4);

Allah's imperatives can't be re-interpreted because they are clear, 3:7, requiring no interpretation. Moe's Sunna shows us what they mean; read the book of Jihad or Expedition in any of the canonical hadith collections.

Jihad can not be abandoned because it is central to Islam; its very core. Too much of the Qur'an must be ripped out, the Sira & Sunnna truncated radically, likewise Shari'ah. Then there is Moe's execration.

Sunan Abu Dawud Book 23, Number 3455:

Narrated Abdullah ibn Umar:

I heard the Apostle of Allah, (peace_be_upon_him) say: When you enter into the inah transaction, hold the tails of oxen, are pleased with agriculture, and give up conducting jihad (struggle in the way of Allah). Allah will make disgrace prevail over you, and will not withdraw it until you return to your original religion.

Islam will no more be reformed than lions will become herbivores and graze with the sheep..

Obamination: Iftar Treason

President Obama celebrated sunset with an Iftar Tuesday, August 1, 2009. Excerpts from his remarks follow, with my comments interspersed.

Islam, as we know, is part of America.

Islam can not be a part of America. Islam is, by its own intrinsic nature, permanently alienated. In the Islamic world view, only Allah has the right to rule. Any government that rules by man made law instead of Shari'ah is unjust and must be removed by Jihad, if necessary. Moe prophesied that Jesus Christ will rule by the Qur'an when he returns.

Islam is not compatible with democracy. Allah said "It is not for a believer, man or woman, when Allâh and His Messenger have decreed a matter that they should have any option in their decision." [33:36] Allah and his Messenger (or Caliph ) make all the decisions; Joe Camel has no choice in the matter. Islam is theocratic autocracy, the polar opposite of democracy.

One of those values is the freedom to practice your religion -- a right that is enshrined in the First Amendment of the Constitution. Nashala Hearn, who joins us from Muskogee, Oklahoma, took a stand for that right at an early age. When her school district told her that she couldn't wear the hijab, she protested that it was a part of her religion. The Department of Justice stood behind her, and she won her right to practice her faith.

The practice of Islam entails more than hijab, salat, zakat, hajj & iman. Islam is not complete without Jihad, which is mandatory, not an optional extra. Jihad is defined in Islamic law as making war on non-Muslims. [Reliance of the Traveller, O9.0.] Jihad is a communal obligation, binding upon Muslims in every year. [O9.1]

The annual obligation to perform Jihad is confirmed by fiqh. Observe what Al-Shafi-i said about it. "The least that the imam must do is that he allow no year to pass without having organised a military expedition by himself, or by his raiding parties, according to the Muslims' interest, so that the jihad will only be stopped in a year for a (reasonable) excuse."

If Muslims have a right to practice their religion, then they have a right to kill you, rape your widow, enslave your orphans and seize your property. If there is a right to practice Islam, we have no rights.

They all contain truths. Among those truths are the pursuit of peace and the dignity of all human beings. That must always form the basis upon which we find common ground.

Islam divides the world into Dar al-Islam, where Allah's writ runs and Dar al-Harb, where Allah's writ does not run. Peace is when Dar al-Harb (the house of war) is conquered and engulfed by Dar al-Islam. I suggest that you read O9.8 & O9.9 of Reliance of the Traveller. So much for the pursuit of peace.

Islam recognizes the dignity of Muslims, not all human beings. Pagans & Atheists are to be converted, enslaved or killed, people with scriptural religions are to be subjugated and extorted, surviving as sub-humans living at sufferance. One of Islam's codified oral traditions has Moe declaring that our blood and property are not sacred to Muslims until we become Muslims. [Sahih Bukhari 1.8.387.]

Together, we have a responsibility to foster engagement grounded in mutual interest and mutual respect.

There is no mutual interest between prey and predator. Respect is earned, Islam has not earned it. Respect is reciprocal, Islam gives none, see the citation immediately above: our blood and property are not sacred to Muslims.

So tonight, we celebrate a great religion, and its commitment to justice and progress.

What is Islam's greatness? Judaism gave us monotheism. Christianity gave us hope of salvation. Islam gives us predestination & predation. Islam's 'greatness', which it seeks to restore, is the Caliphate which enslaved nearly half the world at its peak.

What commitment to justice and progress? Shari'ah prescribes hudud, including corporal punishment. Proving rape requires four male witnesses who observed penetration. Rape victims are punished. The testimony of two women is required to equal that of one man.

Ten days prior to the eighth anniversary of the Accursed Abomination, our recently elected President celebrated the month in which the damnable book was "revealed"; the book whose sanctification of Jihad motivated the nineteen murderers of three thousand of our fellows. He referred to the war cult which sponsored the attack a "great religion", praising its "commitment to peace" & justice.

Allahu skata!! Camel dung in the desert. Islam: predatory war cult. Moe: profiteering pirate, pretender to prophecy, pederast, lecher & murderer. Obama: traitor. You fools who elected him should burn your voter registration cards and hang your heads in shame. No words can express my disgust.
