Someone recently sent me an Arabic video that juxtaposes snippets of sermons delivered by Christian and Muslim leaders in the Middle East.
The Christian preachers give universal supplications that include phrases like O Lord, lover of all mankind and savior of all the world; they quote biblical passages such as love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you (Matt 5: 44); they pray that God may heal all people around the world of their diseases.
While such an approach is familiar, taken for granted even, the supplications of the Muslim preachers may surprise some. Popular Egyptian preacher Sheikh Muhammad al-Zoghbi was taped invoking his god thusly:
May Allah cut your tongue out! May he freeze the blood in your veins! May he inflict you with cancer and allow you no reprieve. Allah, strike them with all sorts of disease, afflictions and pain! Allah, strike them with cancer! Allah, let your prophet overpower them! Allah destroy them! Allah destroy them! Allah destroy them! Allah destroy the criminals who challenge the noble prophet!
[Then, very serenely to his Muslim viewers] And peace upon you, and Allahs mercy and blessings.
Likewise, Sheikh Abdullah Nihari supplicated Allah with outstretched arms accordingly:
Lord, Lord, we condemn them before you! Freeze the blood in their veins! Strike them with evil, or at the very least freeze the blood in their veins until they pray for death, but do not receive it! O Lord! O Lord! O Lord!
One need not understand Arabic to appreciate the intensity of Niharis hate: watch the 45 seconds starting at minute 2:15, and see the gesticulating cleric issue his curse while striking the floor with a stick, hurling a picture, and banging on the wall.
Also shown was a snippet of formal prayers at Mecca, Islams holiest city. As Muslims circumambulated around the Kaaba, the following supplications were blasted on a megaphone, chanted to by Islams devotees:
O Allah, vanquish the unjust Christians and the criminal Jews, the unjust traitors; strike them with your wrath; make their lives hostage to misery; drape them with endless despair, unrelenting pain and unremitting ailment; fill their lives with sorrow and pain and end their lives in humiliation and oppression; inflict your tortures and punishments upon the unjust Christians and criminal Jews. This is our supplication; Allah, grant us our request!
What to make of this immense contrast between Christian and Muslim supplications to the deity? Of course, in former times, these contradicting approaches would simply have been interpreted as natural reflections of the divine and the diabolical.
Today, however, where moral relativism insists that all religions are viewed equally that is, all are viewed as equally meaningless with no tangible impact on their devotees lives no doubt many will conclude that the Christian prayers, calm and placid, evince Christian contentment in the Middle East, whereas the Muslim prayers, irate if not insane, evince sincere grievance.
Nothing could be further from the truth. If prayers and supplications were mere reflections of ones level of contentment or discontentment with this world, then surely the Christians of the Muslim world where churches and Bibles are burned, Christian girls are abducted and forced to convert, blasphemy and apostasy laws kill, and the state massacres Christians would be praying for fire and pestilence to descend upon their persecutors.
Conversely, Muslim leaders are quick to point to anything to rationalize their prayers of hate. Thus when Professor Abd al-Latif was asked if Sharia law permits Muslims to pray for the annihilation of Jews and Christians, he said yes, since Jews are unjust to Palestinians and Christians are responsible for Abu Ghraib, adding that the prophet himself used to invoke curses against his enemies.
Indeed, Muhammad who counseled cursing Islams enemies by, among other things, telling them to bite their fathers penis condemned and called for violence against Christians and Jews (e.g., 9:29). This begins in the Qurans opening prayer, the Fatiha, which Muhammad uttered many centuries before the creation of the modern state of Israel and the events of Abu Ghraib that is, before any grievances.
The lesson? Prayers do not reflect ones situation in the world; they reflect the teachings of ones faith.
Islam is a theology of a psychopath, perhaps something will be done about it.
Now we have a dyed-in-the-wool America-hating Muslim-Communist in the White Hut surrounded by like-minded sycophants. If we don't get this POS evicted we are, indeed, lost. Our nation and our Constitution are in tatters now; in fact, both the Democrats and their infamous friends the Republicrats have been using it and our flag as toilet paper.
TLC is going to have a show called American Muslim where they paint the picture that muslims are just like us, peace loving, family caring Americans.
Islam does indeed promise and preach peace, but the Mohammedan conception of peace is so severely defective the prima facia true assertion, "Islam is a religion of peace," becomes a lie. (Just as the Evil One's conception of life and death were so defective that the prima facia true "you will not die" -- neither Adam nor Eve died in the material sense we post-lapsarian humans and the already lapsed serpent use the word "die" -- was a lie, as mankind died to God in the Fall.)
The Semitic root slm is common to both islam = submission, and salem = shalom = peace. The only peace Muslims can conceive is the peace between conqueror and conquered, the peace between master and slave. Even "Islam means peace" is only a lie deep down, as to the Muslim peace and submission are identical. There are no negotiated peace treaties in Islamic law, only "hudna", ceasefires of at most ten-years duration, which Muslims are wont to break on any pretext if it is to their military and political advantage. There is no spiritual peace that a Christian or Buddhist or Hindu would recognize as such in Islam, only the peace between cowering slaves and the arbitrary tyrant that Muslims understand Allah to be.
Boy, and we Christians think we’ve had a tough road to hoe with snake-oil salesmen in revival tents.
If his flock had anything above a second-grade education this mullah would be the one getting his tongue cut out.
Repent, or it’s off to Pyrexistan for you.
Islam translates to the English : “ Submission (to Allah)”
My tagline says it all ...
“The real problem with the assertion “Islam is a religion of peace” is that....”
GWB never retracted that statement and many unthinking Americans still accept it as truth.
But one point of confusion (that has been discussed and clarified countless times here at FR) is that the Arabic word for "peace" and the verb for "submit" sound very similar but have completely different roots. The word "Islam" derives from the latter and that fact is all one really needs to know about the whole religion. If any religion (including so-called Satanism, Wicca, whatever) can be described as homicidal in its principles and Infernal in its origins it's Islam.
It’s actually the imperative form of the verb, so picture a crazed homicidal pedophile pointing at you and ordering you to submit. Sort of explains why images and visual portrayal of their “prophet” is forbidden. If anyone drew him accurately the jig would be up.
We need to bombard TLC with protests.

When GWB made that statement, I instantly knew we were in much bigger trouble than a couple of buildings being knocked down.
strike them with your wrath; make their lives hostage to misery; drape them with endless despair, unrelenting pain and unremitting ailment; fill their lives with sorrow and pain and end their lives in humiliation and oppression; inflict your tortures and punishments
They are devils.
Absolutely correct.
The filthy koranimals want us dead & these prayers are a reflection of their intentions that they desire for us lowly Kafirs which they repeat in every mosque across the globe.
Study every major conflict of Christians against the muslims. Especially as regards the moro war.
Worth watching.

Cowards...the whole lot of the koranimals.
Tommy, unfortunately, is a piss poor-example for non-muslim views!
The snowballing of imams and mosques is very scary and prophetic.

The link to the video doesn’t work. Does anybody know where it is?
