IS IT JUST ME OR ARE THESE GUYS SCARY?

Muslim Radicals marching in London

Folks if these pictures don’t frighten you then you must have your head in the sand.  While we all would like to believe that this group is only a small radical element of a larger peace loving religious body, I ask you, why haven’t the leaders of the Muslim faith taken up “arms ” militarily or verbally and with demonstrative actions to protect their religion against an element presenting themselves as the core of Islamic faith?  Think about it!  What would Catholics,  Protestants, Baptists or other Christian believers do or say if a mob of people representing themselves as Christians marched down 5th Avenue in New York City carrying signs that say “Jesus is coming to cut off the head of all those not embracing Christianity or Judaism unless you denounce Allah and his agent Mohammad”.  What would our media say? What would our citizens say? What would our President say? Well forget that last question; we know what he would say.

Like most Americans and other civilized persons of the world, I don’t want to believe that these thugs are representative of any legitimate body of people.  But they are.  The reason we don’t see or hear the Islamic faithful or their leaders cry out for ridding the streets of such thugs is simply that they agree with them.  Although less active or even non violent, all or a huge majority of those of the Islamic faith believe that all Christians and Jews are deviants of the true faith in one God, Allah.  They read their testament, the Quran, as God’s words, brought to the people by Muhammad.  They believe that their God, Allah, commands them to accept and practice certain rules such as the “5 Pillars of Islam” which include the statement that “there is but one God” and therefore he had no son nor did he become a Holy Spirit.  Any body that proclaims otherwise is a deviant and unworthy of life?  They clearly hate the people of the advanced nations thinking them to be illegitimate beneficiaries of the world’s riches. Like Christianity and some sects of modern Judaism, Islam teaches the bodily resurrection of the dead, the fulfillment of a divine plan for creation, and the immortality of the human soul.  The righteous are rewarded with the pleasures of Paradise, while the unrighteous are punished in a fiery Hell. “It is popularly held by the vast majority of Muslims that the Holy Tawrat (revelation given to Moses) and the Holy Injil (revelation given to Jesus Christ) have been corrupted over time and that the present day Bible and Torah shares little or no resemblance to the original message.”

Well if the Mullahs teach despotism or absolutism, how can we expect the Muslim mind to negotiate or to accept compromise?  We can’t, President Obama’s belief that we can notwithstanding.  The Islam religion has no space for alternative view except that it is deviant and should suffer the fires of Hell.

Some Christians or non Muslims believe that all we need do is show good faith, perhaps as the President is doing, apologize to the Islamic world for our arrogance in believing that we Christians and Jews are decent honorable people who just want to live and let live; to create democratic societies where the individual has the right to choose how he practices his faith and governments assure the citizens that there is always room for and tolerance of differences of opinion regarding man’s belief in God.  But Muslims believe this tolerance thing is just flat out wrong.  If you read history or study the translation of the Quran, you can only conclude that one part of the Muslim world, clearly the largest or at least currently the most vocal, focuses on the differences between Islam and the Judeo-Christian world and takes an exclusivist and aggressive approach to those differences thereby requiring those promoting some diety other than Allah to come back to the ”Straight Path” by persuasion, or if that doesn’t work, by force, and if they do not respond then act out this belief by marching with signs saying “chop off the head” of those offending Allah.

Islam is the second largest religion in the world but its people are populating the world at a rate 50% faster than non Islamic people. With 23% of the world’s population it will not be too long before Islam, structured to assure discipline, will dominate the religious attitude of American children and at that time we will have begun to lose the fight for our freedoms.

If we are to win this war, and folks it is a war, we will have to know the truth about our enemy.  They don’t love us.  They don’t even tolerate us.  They want us to embrace Allah as the true God, the one God.  There are no others, period. Accept their beliefs  or suffer the ravages of Hell here on Earth.  And to learn that this President just wants us all to get along so he apologizes for who we are.  Yes I think it frightening don’t you?
