Part four: The bottom line

Islam is not just a religion, it is a theocracy that is, a religion and a government combined. Under Islamic law, you have three choices, 1) convert to Islam, 2) do not convert and be a Dhimmis that is, have no rights and be subject to abuse or even slavery, or 3) be executed. Khomeini (1984) “Sometimes a person cannot be reformed unless he is cut up and burnt…you must kill, burn and lock up those in opposition.” Another quote here at home by Omar Ahmad, chairman of the council on American Islamic Relations, “Islam isn’t in America to be equal to any other faith, but to become dominate. The Koran should be the highest authoring in America, and Islam the only accepted religion on Earth.” Finally, again, Ayatollah Khomeini said,

Islam makes it incumbent on all adult males … to prepare themselves for the conquest of [other] countries so that the writ of Islam is obeyed in every country in the world. … Those who know nothing of Islam pretend that Islam counsels against war. Those [who say this] are witless. Islam says: Kill all the unbelievers … Islam says: Kill them, put them to the sword and scatter [their armies]… Islam says: Kill in the service of Allah those who may want to kill you! … People cannot be made obedient except with the sword. The sword is the key to Paradise … There are hundreds of other [Qur’anic] verses and Hadiths urging Muslims to value war and to fight. Does all that mean that Islam is a religion that prevents men from waging war? I spit upon those foolish souls who make such a claim”. (Ibn Warraq, “Why I Am Not A Muslim”, pp. 11-12)

I will leave this section with the following, which is taught to Muslim Children through their school textbooks.

First Grade: “Every religion other than Islam is false”
Fourth Grade: “True belief means … that you hate the … infidels”
Fifth Grade: “It is forbidden for a Muslim to be a loyal friend to someone who does not believe in … [the] Prophet”
Eighth Grade: “The apes are Jews while the swine are the Christians”
Twelfth Grade: “Jihad … is the summit of Islam. This religion arose through Jihad and through Jihad was its banner raised high. It is one of the noblest acts, which brings one closer to God…”

What about Christians?

I do not favor the inhalation of a religion or people. As a Christian, I do not want to see someone have free reign over me and kill my brothers and sisters just because our faith. As a Christian, I do not want to see lunatics who call themselves Christians have control over the faith or the government. As a Christian, I will fight against those lunatics who would do harm to others in the name of Christianity. Of course, Christians have overstepped the line in the past. The Middle Ages, saw greedy power hungry men use Christianity to gain wealth and power. Historically, we have seen the abuse of a theocracy within Christianity and we rejected it. While the crusades were bloody and the crusaders lost their humanity, the truth must not be lost; the crusades were launched in response to the Islamic invasions of the Byzantine Empire, and Jerusalem by Muslims.

I expect the world to do the same with Islam, that is to fight the ten percent of Islam that would do harm to people in the name of Islam. I would expect the 90% of Muslims that say they disagree with terrorism to stand up and deal with the lunatics in their religion. Peace is not a one sided proposition. Peace is not a matter of terrorism for gain, and then once that gain is achieved, more terrorism. It is the perpetrator surrendering to the authority of humanity and putting away the suicide vests, the rockets, the ideology of cutting off the heads of the infidels. We are the victims not the perpetrators.

Now we are faced with a great question. Will the new administration take us back to the failed paths of the past, appeasing the terrorist? Will we allow Islam to take over Israel and murder tens of thousands, perhaps millions of Jews? This war if not finished now, will be finished at a later date. This war, has been a war waiting to happen for a long time. Finally, Islamic fascist went too far on 9/11. The question is now, do we wait for them to secure nuclear, biological or chemical weapons? They will use them. They have show time and time again by dragging Americans dead bodies around the streets, by hanging them over bridges and burning them, and by recording the decapitation of innocent people, they have no respect for human life. What will the new administration do?
