Since several Muslims have been elected to Congress, I think we should look at Islam and its attitude toward our system of government. Islam is much more than a religion. As a matter of fact, the legal and cultural aspects of Islam are much more important than the religious aspects.
Islam wants to portray itself as a force against repression, segregation, intolerance, and racism. In actuality, Islam is a source of all of these evils.
In Islam, there is no concept of human rights or inalienable rights as described in our Declaration of Independence. Allah is the only one who has any rights in Islam. Everyone else is subject to his whims.
In Western-style democracies, the individual enjoys the freedom of action and expression. Islam does not allow such freedoms. The only reason Islam is considered a religion is a reference to Allah as its god. Islam is a totalitarian ideology that rejects democracy, personal freedom, and every other religion. It is totally anti-Semitic and anti-Western culture.
Man-made laws are considered evil and are meaningless to Muslims. For laws to be valid they must find their origin in the Islamic scriptures. Under Shariah (Islamic) law there is no concept of democracy, liberty, or any form of government where the people have any voice.
Saudi Arabia, a country ruled by Islamic law, punishes any religion other than Islam with death. Those who practice other religions are considered criminals and are punished by beheading in the public square. It is done publicly to discourage anyone from leaving Islam. This is the punishment prescribed by Islamic law. The punishment for leaving Islam is the same as for practicing another religion. In Saudi Arabia, there is a Religious Police to enforce all the aspects of Shariah Law. Islam is not a religion of tolerance, as so many Muslims claim.
“True Islam permits neither elections nor democracy.”
— Sufi Mohammed, Muslim Cleric
If you pay attention to world affairs you will see that when elections are allowed in Islamic countries the people elect imams to rule them because their religion recognizes no other form of government. Of course, the imams rule with Shariah Law.
Our Constitution Is In Conflict With All Devout Muslims
In Islamic countries like Saudi Arabia, Islamic law is enforced in all aspects of daily life. The fact that it is against the law to practice any other religion should end any discussion of religious tolerance in Islam. The governments of Islamic countries base all their laws on Shariah Law, which finds its foundation in the Islamic scriptures. Muslims believe that the only right way to live is according to Shariah. They believe it is based upon the Qur’an which they believe is the direct word of Allah.
Islam, as practiced by those we mistakenly call radical fundamentalists, discourages the pursuit of knowledge outside of itself. Anything that is not Islamic is discouraged and is often forbidden.
Ideas like freedom of religion, freedom of speech, and freedom of the press have absolutely no place within Islam. Shariah Law is a totalitarian means of ruling society at every level, including ritual worship; transactions and contracts; morals; maters of beliefs and punishments; the servitude of women; and so forth.
When Americans talk about peace and tolerance, they mean getting along with those who think differently. Islam wants us to think that these words have the same meaning to them, but they don’t. Muhammad defined these words for Muslims. He said that there will only be peace and tolerance when the entire world submits to Allah and embraces Islam.
Islam uses migration into non-Muslim countries, jihad, and the institution of the Shariah (Islamic law) to take over non-Muslim countries. There can be no compromise, no tolerance of other religions, and no allowing non-Muslims to exist on more than a temporary basis. They do have something called dhimmitude which allows Christians and Jews to live under the protection of Islam for a time if they pay some very high taxes (up to 50% of what they own and 50% of what they earn). Of course, Islam is protecting them from only one threat, and that is Islam. Dhimmitude will end when Islam controls the whole world. Christians and Jews will then have to convert to Islam or die.
It is the duty of every Muslim male to wage war (jihad) against Infidels until world domination is achieved. This is not just through preaching and persuading, but by any means necessary. It includes extreme violence whenever possible. This is one of the core beliefs of Islam.
If you have any doubt about this, listen to the following quote:
“If we were united and strong, we’d elect our own emir (leader) and give allegiance to him… Take my word, if 6-8 million Muslims unite in America, the country will come to us.”
— Siraj Wahaj, a black convert to Islam and the recipient of some of the American Muslim community’s highest honors, had the privilege of becoming the first Muslim to deliver the daily prayer in the U.S. House of Representatives
Islam has no real tolerance, as defined in the Western World, for non-Muslims. For a while, they may pretend to have some because they are to use deceit when necessary, but their ultimate goal is the destruction of everyone and everything that is not Islamic.
Three Things You need to Know about Islam
In Islamic states, Shariah Law is the basis of their legal system. It is the final law of Allah and cannot be changed in any way by human beings. There is no separation between religion and law or mosque and state. Freedom cannot exist in Islam. Islam and its teachings are to run the state and all laws are to be based on Shariah.
“Islam is a revolutionary faith that comes to destroy any government made by man. Islam doesn’t look for a nation to be in better condition than another nation. Islam doesn’t care about the land or who own the land. The goal of Islam is to rule the entire world and submit all of mankind to the faith of Islam. Any nation or power in this world that tries to get in the way of that goal, Islam will fight and destroy.”
— Mawlana Abul Ala Mawdudi, founder of Pakistan’s Fundamentalist Movement
When those of us in the West look at the Islamic nations we see different states. There is a bit of truth to the view, but it is not the Islamic view. In Islam, there is but one state. Today we see the different Islamic states fighting over who is the real Islamic State, but the Islamic view is there is only one real Islamic state. This is why the destruction of ISIS will not end Islamic jihad. It will just raise up its ugly head in another location.
The goal of Islam is to create a Worldwide State led by Islamic religious leaders who will have complete power. They will not allow any opposition or criticism. They will control all aspects of life based on Islamic teachings. There can be no freedom of thought or expression under Islamic law.
This is something that is very hard to understand by those who are used to the freedoms and liberty in the West. Islam requires mandatory submission to the law of Allah. It is the goal of all Muslims. It is actually the meaning of the word “Muslim”
Muslims believe Islam is the only true religion. They believe that all other religions are false and an insult to Allah, Allah’s prophet Muhammad, Islam, and all Muslims. This, in itself, is not too different from most religions. Where we find the difference is, Islam teaches all other religions and beliefs are not to be tolerated. They believe everyone must convert to Islam or die.
“He who fights that Islam should be superior fights in Allah’s cause.”
— Muhammad, Prophet of Islam.
“By their acts, we shall know them and so we know them.”
— Pamela Gella, 06 November 2009
We call true Islam “radical,” but in truth, it is the moderate Muslims who are radical because radical means a departure from what is normal. Violent jihad and the destruction of all that is not Islamic is not radical in Islam, it is normal. If you doubt this, just look at the 1,400-year history of Islam. Islam has always been spread by the sword. Using the word “radical” to describe militant Islam assumes there is a more moderate and peaceful version of Islam. There is not! Any other form of “Islam” is really “fake” Islam. There is only one Islam and it is at war with the rest of the world for total control and domination. If Islam gains control it is the so-called “moderate Muslims” that will be the first to convert or die.
There are those who tell us that these Islamic terrorists are not true Muslims. The truth is, these terrorists are the most dedicated Muslims and are serious students of Islam and its teachings. They understand that a good Muslim will be a fighter (jihadist) for Allah and will use any means to advance the cause of Islam.
Muslims believe that only Muslims are innocent and all others are guilty of offending Allah. They, therefore, believe that killing non-Muslims is not only acceptable to Allah but that it is commanded by him. They are on a mission with orders directly from Allah to destroy anything they see as a threat or an insult to Islam and Allah. Unbelievers are not innocent and deserve to die.
The primary goal of Islam is the complete domination of Islam over all other religions. The final goal is the eventual elimination of other religions.
We have a hard time understanding suicide bombers, but Muslims don’t believe it is suicide. They believe that it is part of the war to advance the cause of Islam. It is considered a glorious act which secures a place in Paradise for the bomber and those for whom he intercedes. This belief is unique among the major world religions. The Qur’an teaches there is only one sure way of salvation, and it is to die fighting in the cause of Allah. Whenever a suicide bomber strikes, Muslims are quick to heap praise on the terrorist and on the family of the suicide bomber. There is total contempt for the victims.
Muhammad was anything but a peaceful ruler. The level of violence that the Muslim armies poured out on people as they spread Islam is beyond most of our imaginations. As they marched across North Africa, the Middle East, Europe, and Asia as far as India, their conquest was characterized by slavery, rape, murder, and forced conversion to Islam. Muhammad used violent jihad as the main tool for spreading his religion and building his empire. Today it is one of the main tools used against Western infidels. It is also used against other Muslims who don’t share fundamentalist views.
Let me add a caution here. The violent jihad we see is really a smokescreen. Muslims have learned that they cannot defeat the West by the sword. Jihad is a distraction designed to keep our attention from the real tactic they are using. They are migrating into non-Muslim countries, having lots of children, and reaching a point where their voice in elections is sufficient to elect Muslims and Muslim sympathizers to high offices. From these positions, they can start getting some of the aspects of Shariah Law into the countries legal system. One of the first Shariah principles they get in is anti-defamation laws. These are laws that make it a crime to say anything negative about Islam even if it is true.
It should be obvious, in light of these facts about Islam, that Islam is not compatible with America’s Constitution or Western style democracy. Those that tell us that there is a kinder, gentler version of Islam are either ignorant of Islam and its history or are deliberately distorting the truth for whatever motives they may have.
Let me repeat a quote from earlier in the article:
“If we were united and strong, we’d elect our own emir (leader) and give allegiance to him… Take my word, if 6-8 million Muslims unite in America, the country will come to us.”
— Siraj Wahaj, a black convert to Islam and the recipient of some of the American Muslim community’s highest honors, had the privilege of becoming the first Muslim to deliver the daily prayer in the U.S. House of Representatives
It is sad that we now have Muslims in Congress who are in perfect agreement with this quote. They have made anti-Semitic statements and have said they will not assimilate into American culture. They took their oath of office on the Qur’an, not on the Bible. This means their loyalty is to the god of Islam, Allah, and not to the God of the Bible. In America, there can be no religious test for holding political office, but there is great danger in allowing people to be sworn into office on a book that advocates the overthrow of any government that is not Islamic.
Let me end this article by saying that I love my country and the freedoms I have here. I am not going to sit still and be quiet while Islam tries to take these things away from me.
