[The Great Satan]

Ding Dong!

Islam Calling!

[anniegetyourgun]

How long, oh Lord, before you avenge the blood of the martyrs.....

[Birdwatcher]

We all need to remember that Islam is a religion of peace. (sarcasm)

[PokeyJoe]

Islam is a religion of peace.

-bwa hahahaha-

[another cricket]

"If the law empowers me to (execute the two for converting from Islam to Christianity), I will have no hesitation in doing that," the judge said.

But how can that be? Haven’t we all heard how tolerant Islam is?

Poor Cat Stevens. He was in the habit of changing his religion every so often......he can't change anymore!

[InvisibleChurch]

sorry, auwal, you can't win...come join The Lord

Revelation 6:9-11 When he opened the fifth seal, I saw under the altar the souls of those who had been slain because of the word of God and the testimony they had maintained. They called out in a loud voice, "How long, Sovereign Lord, holy and true, until you judge the inhabitants of the earth and avenge our blood?" Then each of them was given a white robe, and they were told to wait a little longer, until the number of their fellow servants and brothers who were to be killed as they had been was completed.

[Savage Beast]

What these poor benighted Muslim theocracies need is massive apostasy--and massive inundation by Christian missionaries.

[InvisibleChurch]

and now time out for a golden oldie...

Hundreds of thousands of Shiite Muslims turned out across Lebanon on Sunday to mark Ashoura, the Shiite Muslim religious festival which marks the AD 680 battle in which Imam Hussein, the grandson of Islam's Prophet Mohammed, was killed.

So where is amnesty international, the red cross and all those other human rights groups??? Oh, I forget, they are all down at Gitmo making certain our soldiers are bowing at the feet of terrorists.

[swarthyguy]

Questions for Rumsfeld -Why did you ever make it (gitmo and prisoners) public?
-Why are we feeding them a fresh lamb feast on eid?
-Why are their beards and heads not shaved?
-Why are they allowed the Koran? They get their spiritual sustenance from this book...We would not have allowed Nazi POW's access to MeinKampf. Dream Scenario:: They are guarded by the women of the WWF -- they won't know whether to be turned on or scared. Rottweilers and Dobermans roaming the immediate perimeter; for a change allow a few rutting hogs every few nights. Food: PulledPorksandwiches and KeystoneLight beer. Keep them incommunicado so they cannot talk to each other; if necessary blast LOUD rocknroll at them so they cannot hear each other! -

[JeepInMazar]

Even in the most democratic, tolerant forms of Islam the penalty of one who leaves Islam is death. There are different words for apostate in Islamic law. One who leaves Islam is called a murtad and a murdad should be killed, according to Islamic law. This is a very clear point in Islam, the religion of peace.

[Floratina]

Gee, I wonder where Amnesty International is on this?

[Post Toasties]

This policy of Islamic governments should be universally protested and condemned, particularly by non Islamic governments, human rights and civil rights groups.

Any criminal penalty for converting to a religion other than Islam is not compatible with modern juridical concepts, human rights or religious freedom.

[Godfollow]

Dear God, Please set your angels of protection around Lawali Yakubu and Ali Jafaru for their faith in your son Jesus Christ. And like Shadrach, Meshach and Abed-nego may they not waver in their faith, even in the face of certain death. And confound their persecutors and all that worship the false God Allah.

From the Palestinian Violence video:

"Have no mercy on the Jews, no matter where they are.
Fight them, wherever you are. Wherever you meet them, kill them.
Wherever you are, kill the Jews, the Americans who are like them, and those who stand by them.
They are all in one trench, against the Arabs and the Muslims.
They should be slaughtered. They should be murdered.
Such is the word of Allah."
- an Islamic mufti, broadcast on Pali TV

From MEMRI:

Sheikh Muhammad Sayyed Tantawi, top Imam of Al-Azhar University [Egypt], demanded that the Palestinian people, of all factions, intensify the martyrdom operations [i.e. suicide attacks] against the Zionist enemy, and described the martyrdom operations as the highest form of Jihad operations. He emphasized that every martyrdom operation against any Israeli, including children, women, and teenagers, is a legitimate act according to [Islamic] religious law, and an Islamic commandment, until the people of Palestine regain their land and cause the cruel Israeli aggression to retreat

and

"The solution to the Israeli terror lies in a proliferation of Fidai [martyrdom] attacks that strike horror into the hearts of the enemies of Allah. The Islamic countries, peoples and rulers alike, must support these martyrdom attacks."

- Sheikh Al-Tayyeb, Egypt’s new "moderate" mufti

and

"If it be through the death of Sharon or the death of Bush,
please brighten-up our hearts, O Lord,"

- Ayatollah Ahmad Jannati, head of Iran's powerful Guardian Council

and

"We must not stand in the way of the intifada and jihad [holy war].
Rather, we must stand at their side and encourage them."

- Sheikh Akrameh Sabri, Mufti of Jerusalem

---

and

"Islam makes it incumbent on all adult males, provided they are not disabled and incapacitated, to prepare themselves for the conquest of other [countries] so that the writ of Islam is obeyed in every country in the world. But those who study Islamic Holy War will understand why Islam wants to conquer the whole 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 just as they would kill you all! Does this mean that Muslims should sit back until they are devoured [by the unbelievers]? Islam says: Kill them [the non-Muslims], put them to the sword and scatter [their armies]. Does this mean sitting back until [non-Muslims] overcome us? Islam says: Kill in the service of Allah those who may want to kill you! Does this mean that we should surrender to the enemy? Islam says: Whatever good there is exists thanks to the sword and in the shadow of the sword! People cannot be made obedient except with the sword! The sword is the key to Paradise, which can be opened only for Holy Warriors! There are hundreds of other [Koranic] psalms and Hadiths [sayings of the Prophet] 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."
- Ayatollah Khomeini, responding to apologists for Islam
(Taheri, Amir, Holy Terror, London 1987, pp. 226-7):

And more:

"These suicide attacks are the weapon that God gave to this nation, and no one can take it away. We tell Palestinians, stay tough. Our martyrs’ operations are laying the grounds for the coming victory. Do not listen to those who say these types of attacks go against Muslim Sharia (law). Those who say there are civilians and soldiers in Israel are mistaken. There are no civilians in Israeli society. All of them are invaders, collaborators in crimes and massacres, and it is for this reason that you must continue on your path"

- Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah, Hizbullah’s secretary-general

---

and in the US:

Fatima Hussein, Idara Jaferia Islamic Center: "They are martyrs."

Shamshad A. Nasir, Imam of Bait-Ur-Rahman Mosque: "[the Palestinians] are protecting their country."

An anonymous cleric, Masji dush-Shura mosque: "suicide is [wrong], except... in a war."

---

and in Saudi Arabia:

Ghazi Algosaibi, Saudi Arabia's ambassador to London, the suicide bombers are "martyrs"

Sheik Saad-al Braik, Saudi cleric, supports "martyrdom operations against Israel"

---

So...
Muslim "True Believers" see the Arab-Israeli conflict as religious.
Therefore, any compromise with the Israelis is a heresey.
Therefore, any "peace process" that requires compromise is heresey.
Therefore, only complete surrender or complete victory will bring peace.

So far, the US has not let the Israelis obtain complete victory.
Therefore, Israel's only options are surrender or death.
And if Israel goes, the US is next on the islamists' list.
Or as they famously put it: "After Saturday comes Sunday".

If anyone can explain how Islam isn't the issue here, I would be eager to listen.
If anyone can explain how this isn't a clash of civilizations, please post away.
