My Fellow Muslims: Wake Up!
religionjournal ^ | Feb. 25, 2005 | KAMAL NAWASH

(FreeMuslims.org) Muslim-bashing. That's the accusation many of my fellow Muslims now hurl at the various news outlets for their news stories about a Freedom House investigation that found extremist Islamic literature in some leading American mosques. This name-calling is unfortunate.

Since 1980, the Muslim world has experienced an enormous growth of religious fanaticism and extremism the likes of which Islam has not experienced in its 1,400 years. This movement continues to grow because of the spread of Wahhabi Islam, a sect that used to number no more than one percent of all Muslims, but because of money and technology, has spread to more areas around the world.

Extremism is also growing because of an ideology called political Islam. The basis of political Islam is the rejection of secularism and the belief that the mosque and the state should be completely intertwined. Unfortunately, history has shown that when politics and religion are completely intertwined, disaster results.

Most importantly, extremism in the Muslim world continues to grow because most Muslims are unwilling to admit that we have a problem with extremism and support for terrorism. The response by Muslims to the Freedom House report is not the first time that the Muslim community resorted to denial and accusations of Muslim-bashing when presented with evidence of Muslim culpability.

After September 11, many in the Muslim world chose denial and hallucination rather than face up to the sad fact that Muslims perpetrated the 9/11 terrorist acts. After 9/11, many Muslims, including religious leaders and "intellectuals," blamed 9/11 on a Jewish conspiracy, and went as far as fabricating a tale that 4,000 Jews did not show up for work in the World Trade Center on that day.

Wow! Excellent post, my friend. You really did your homework. Expect a fatwa from the Throat-slitters of Peace. Roaches don't like the light shined on them.

Is this person a Muslim? He does not appear to know what he is talking about.

"Since 1980, the Muslim world has experienced an enormous growth of religious fanaticism and extremism the likes of which Islam has not experienced in its 1,400 years."

My "Islam for Dummies" home teaching course tells me that fanaticism and extremism were the original design factors of Islam - plastered around a pastiche taken from other's doctrine and arab expansionism.

As far as I know the only lapse in that description was due to their utter inability to reach beyond the next sand dune in order to enforce it....today even the barbarians can drive a taxi or disarm a stewardess.

Ah, progress.

I want no more explanations about the misinterpretations of the Quran!
I want no more hand wringing from the "moderate" muslims!
I want no more "Religion of Peace" bullcrap!

I want the WHOLE muslim community to stand in force to STOP this insanity!
I want ACTION, not words!

If you don't stop it, we will!


...................................................



Well said, TC!

There is no other way around it, we will have to stop it; because the so-called moderate muslims have no intention of speaking out. They think their only hope of surviving this war is by blending in.

When we win...and we WILL win...they will profess that their loyalty has always been with us; but they were quiet for fear of the hardliners coming after them.

They think they will be OK as long as they are quiet.

They don't know who is going to win.

Their 'religion' teaches them to be weak; so they try to blend on the surface.

But ultimately, they will go with whoever wins.

These people are not an asset to our society; but being cowards, they will conform to the prevailing side.

I borrowed that from a fellow freeper. I wish I could remember who it was so they could be on the fatwa list with me.
LOL!

I agree that the teachings of the religion are always going to cause conflict if the followers are true to its teachings.It's more like a call to arms that uses the threat of death for disobeying and gives the reward of an endless supply of virgins for those who die while killing for the cause.There will always be a conflict as long as there are people who disagree with the religion.

I took the liberty of copying your list.

If I'm challenged on the authenticity of the events, I know how to verify each episode one at a time but do you have a source for the collective list?

Thanks Vaquero.

I hope he had body guards and CCW permit because that is one voice that will probably be silenced by his his less tolerant brothers.

Are you suggesting there are practicing Muslims who kill? Unthinkable!

All sarcasm aside, you've gotta admire this guy's guts. As some others have said, I wish he'd spoken out sooner, but better late than never. I also hope he's well-armed.

"I took the liberty of copying your list."

No problem. I got it from another freeper.

I'm sure you can Google each event and get verification.

Thanks TC for the reminder that the horror of islam did not start on 9/11/01. There is a long, bloodsoaked path that had already been eaked out and continues to be.

What will it take for Muslims to realize that there is a large, evil movement that is turning what was a peaceful religion into a death cult?

Earth to Kamal! Earth to Kamal! Islam has never been peaceful. It started as a death cult, and it will end as a death cult.
