The Muslim Dilemma

The next several items address some of the more controversial truths of the Islamic religion, in the words of Muslim holy men and scholars.  Despite efforts of western progressive scholars/appologists to soften or minimize the more radical aspects of Islam, they cannot override the words from Muslims/former Muslims themselves.  Many have claimed that Islam is a religion of peace, including Presidents George W. Bush and Barrack Obama.  Meanwhile those who are more truthful or better informed say otherwise.  Certainly all Muslims are not violent but you will find interesting the last item in this section which provides the statistics of global Muslim opinions regarding their religion and its precepts.

You will be interested to learn that Islam has a term called "taqiyya" which permits Muslims to lie to defend/protect Islam and Muslims.  Quote: "The Islamic doctrine of taqiyya permits Muslims to actively deceive non-Muslims—above and beyond the context of “self-preservation,” as is commonly believed."  Beware the words of a Muslim, they may well be lies.     http://www.raymondibrahim.com/islam/taqiyya-about-taqiyya/

This item derived from  http://www.thereligionofpeace.com/  provides details of permissible violence as contained in Muslim holy books.  What follows are two quotes lifted from the Additional Notes section at the end of the below linked article.   Quote: "Muhammad was a military leader, laying siege to towns, massacring the men, raping their women, enslaving their children, and taking the property of others as his own.  On several occasions he rejected offers of surrender from the besieged inhabitants and even butchered captives.  He inspired his followers to battle when they did not feel it was right to fight, promising them slaves and booty if they did and threatening them with Hell if they did not.  Muhammad allowed his men to rape traumatized women captured in battle, usually on the very day their husbands and family members were slaughtered." And, "Although scholars like Ibn Khaldun, one of Islam's most respected philosophers, understood that "the holy war is a religious duty, because of the universalism of the Muslim mission and (the obligation to) convert everybody to Islam either by persuasion or by force", many other Muslims are either unaware or willfully ignorant of the Quran's near absence of verses that preach universal non-violence.  Their understanding of Islam comes from what they are taught by others.  In the West, it is typical for believers to think that their religion must be like Christianity - preaching the New Testament virtues of peace, love, and tolerance - because Muslims are taught that Islam is supposed to be superior in every way.  They are somewhat surprised and embarrassed to find that this is contradicted by the Quran and the bloody history of Islam's genesis."    http://www.thereligionofpeace.com/quran/023-violence.htm  

We are told that Muslims want to integrate in countries where they live.  Far too many examples contradict that claim which intends to mislead.  There is a reason and it is this.  Quote:  "Many Muslims are loyal to the non-Muslim countries in which they live, of course, but do so in spite of Islamic teaching.  Unlike other faiths, Islam is not just a religion but a political system as well.  The state is intended to be inseparable from religious rule.  Islamic law, or Sharia, is complete and not designed to coexist with or be subordinate to other legal systems. Muslims are not meant to be ruled by non-Muslims.  The Qur'an is very clear that they are to resist unbelievers by any means, until Islam establishes political supremacy.  This doesn't mean that everyone must be forced to become Muslim, but rather that everyone must submit to Muslim rule."   http://www.thereligionofpeace.com/quran/014-loyalty-to-non-muslim-government.htm 

This Danish researcher studied the ten world's largest religious over a three year period and concluded that Islam is not a religion of peace.  Quote: "“Together with a number of research assistants, the Danish linguist Tina Magaard spent three years examining the texts of the 10 largest religions,” explained Nicolai Sennels on the Jihad Watch site. “The conclusion was clear: ‘The texts of Islam [are] clearly distinct from the other religions’ texts as [they include] a higher degree call for violence and aggression against followers of other faiths.’  “There are also direct incitement[s] to terror … Moreover, in the Quran [there are] hundreds of invitations to fight against people of other faiths.”  And, "The fact that Islam is the world’s most violent religion is most likely the reason why Muslims since September 11, 2011, [have] committed more than 27,000 deadly terrorist attacks in the name of Islam. This corresponds to approximately 2,000 a year or five a day,”      http://www.wnd.com/2015/11/danish-researcher-islam-is-more  

This thoughtful piece reinforces the previous item.  It is important to understand the truth of the Islamic religion.  Until and unless we understand their commitment to the precepts of the Koran we will never understand who and what they are.  Hiding from or denying the truth guarantees in time Islam's ultimate victory.  Quote: "The net result of all this? On the one hand, Muslims, who believe in truth -- that is, in the teachings of Islam -- will continue attacking the “false,” that is, everything and everyone un-Islamic.  And no matter how violent, Islamic jihad -- terrorism -- will always be exonerated in Muslim eyes as fundamentally “altruistic.” On the other hand, Western secularists and multiculturalists, who believe in nothing and deem all cultures and religions equal, will continue to respect Islam and empower Muslims, convinced that terrorism is an un-Islamic aberration destined to go away -- that is, they will continue disbelieving their own eyes.  Such is the offspring of that unholy union between Islamic logic and Western fallacy."    http://www.americanthinker.com/articles/2015/12/the_logic_of_islamic_intolerance.html

This will shock you.  And you know that Obama has known this for a long time.  Quote: "On Friday’s Breitbart News Daily (6AM-9AM EST) on Sirius XM Patriot channel 125, former FBI counter-terrorism Special Agent John Guandolo argued that the “vast majority” of the 2,200 Islamic organizations, centers, and mosques in the United States are a part of a broader “Jihadi network” intent on imposing Sharia Law in America." And, "Guandolo said that the San Bernardino terrorists attended the Islamic Center of Riverside, which he said was a “a Muslim Brotherhood Center.” He noted that the Boston Bombers attended the Islamic Society of Boston, which he said was a subsidiary of the Islamic Society of North America that was founded by an al-Qaeda guy who used to advise former President Bill Clinton and former Vice President Al Gore and is now in prison.  He said there are over 2,200 Islamic Centers and mosques in America and the “vast majority of them are a part of this network — they’re hostile.”  He said “over 75%” of these centers, based on their property records, are a part of the “Muslim Brotherhood network” since they are “owned by the North American Islamic Trust, which is the bank for the Muslim Brotherhood here.”  I am not in the know so I can only speculate. And you can call Guandolo a liar.  But I suggest, given the evidence in this piece and elsewhere I suspect that recorded history and ongoing actions taking place in the Middle East, Africa, Asia and more recently Europe and even here in our country strongly suggests that it is the Progressives of all stripes who tell us we have no cause for alarm are the ones who are lying.   http://www.breitbart.com/big-government/2015/12/04/breitbart-news-daily-ex-fbi-counterterrorism-agent-vast-majority-of-us-mosquesislamic-centers-part-of-jihadi-network/ 

Take a look at this item which provides a map of Muslim populations around the world.  http://www.pewforum.org/2009/10/07/mapping-the-global-muslim-population/?  Now, ask yourself why is it that the UN and our President demand that the Muslim refugees from Syria and other parts of the Middle East be relocated to Western World nations?  There are plenty of nations with large Muslim populations which are much more culturally aligned which common sense dictates is a far better solution than taking them out of their culture and placing them in ones that are diametrically different.  The hypocritical among the progressives claim refusing to do so us un-American, unchristian and not in accord with our values.  I think they lie.  It seems that, at least the elites among the progressives, have and ulterior motive.  Are they infiltrating the Western World with Muslims?  If so, why?  Part of the answer may have been touched upon in the Climate Change discussion.   

Given the cost per person Obama wants to spend of our tax dollars to settle Syrian refugees here along with all the host of other well established problems he has dumped on American citizens, why does he, the political left and progressive philosophy demand that we settle them here?  The political lie expounded upon by many is that it is their plot to stoke as many as possible future Democrat voters in areas where they will do the Democrat party the most good.  Sounds cynical I know but there is logic to their strategy.  In other words the lie is that it is the right thing to do for the Democrats, not all the people.  http://townhall.com/tipsheet/mattvespa/2015/12/01/waitresettling-middle-eastern-refugees-costs-over-64000-per-person-n2087699?    

This item provides poll numbers reflecting the percentages of supporters of various aspects of the religion of Islam by Muslims.  Quote: "Have you heard that Islam is a peaceful religion because most Muslims live peacefully and only a "tiny minority of extremists" practice violence?  That's like saying that White supremacy must be perfectly fine since only a tiny minority of racists hurt anyone.  Neither does it explain why religious violence is largely endemic to Islam, despite the tremendous persecution of religious minorities in Muslim countries.  In truth, even a tiny minority of "1%" of Muslims worldwide translates to 15 million believers - which is hardly an insignificant number.  However, the "minority" of Muslims who approve of terrorists, their goals, or their means of achieving them is much greater than this.  In fact, it isn't even a true minority in some cases, depending on how goals and targets are defined."    http://www.thereligionofpeace.com/pages/opinion-polls.htm

I am not a fan of Bill Maher but on this point I totally agree with him. Quote: "During his panel discussion on tonight’s Real Time, Bill Maher addressed how liberals rush to defend Syrian refugees and Muslims without acknowledging that many embrace a value set that is not shared with most Americans.  “If you are in this religion, you probably do have values that are at odds. This is what liberals don’t want to recognize,” Maher said. “This idea that somehow we do share values that all religions are alike is bullshit.”  In other words he recognizes the blatant lie that liberals deliberately espouse that Muslims and peace loving Christians and most Americans regardless of religion have a common set of values.  American and Christian values are definitely NOT compatible with Islam no matter how hard the progressive spawned liberal backed propagandists try to demagogue the issue.  To think otherwise is to believe a blatant lie.   http://www.mediaite.com/tv/maher-criticizes-liberal-support-of-islam-muslims-sharing-all-your-values-is-bullshit/
