We have no excuse for not familiarizing ourselves with the Quran and Hadith, especially when they are online. I've read both.

As an introduction to the Quran, read Surah 9, which discusses Jihad:

And when the sacred months have passed, then kill the polytheists wherever you find them and capture them and besiege them and sit in wait for them at every place of ambush. But if they should repent, establish prayer, and give zakah, let them [go] on their way. Indeed, Allah is Forgiving and Merciful.
You might say "But I'm not a polytheist, so this does not apply to me". Do you believe in the Trinity? Do you believe that Jesus was equally God with the Father? Then you are a polytheist per Muslim definition.

And then, the Hadith chapter on Jihad and Hadith chapter on dividing loot from conquest

Disgusting. Don’t they have one reporter buried in the Kremlin Wall?

Turkish professional moderate Mustafa Akyol (pictured above) claimed: “True Islam Does Not Kill Blasphemers.”>

Ah, yes - I recognize this tactic from the Cold War days. "True Islam" is something like the legendary "true Communism".

Tell you what, Mustafa - you find me a working national example of "true Islam" that doesn't clash violently with non-believers, oppress women, destroy the religious sites of other faiths, and make ridiculous demands for special privileges and I'll start taking Islam seriously as something other than a dangerous cult.

Islam is a war plan.

And a cult for very weak-minded easily led by the nose. Pigs.

Apparently Mohammed himself didn’t practice “true Islam” according to the New York Times.

Ironic that Jews, homosexuals, and feminists look the other way with Islam and even encourage Islamic invasion via migration. They’ll be the first hanged once the takeover happens in Europe.

NYT has protested truth in decades. Isn’t that a sorry thing for a prominent organization.

It’s always a throw away when people write a ton of cool words but never experienced the millions starved and jailed with the sound of those Black Marias, or maybe such freedoms in islam.

Real head banging article full of camel dung.
This person probably has grand delusions as to when all the people in America are rolled up and slaughtered but he has no idea the Bolsheviks and infidel do-goodniks are the first to Lubyanka, chop chop square or just discarded trash

Sickening is the only word that can describe the output of the NYT over the years.

That .. and backstabbing, low-life scum masquerading as a newspaper/editorially sound platform for the dissemination of truth and fact.

They deserve a Rummy Award..

“It’s unlikely that anyone laughed” because nobody has such a macabre sense of humor.

There are many Muslims, some devout, who don’t kill infidels. After all, they pay well and some infidels are pretty nice fellows to work for. But blasphemers? There are some who have a very high threshold as to what constitutes blasphemy. There are also some devout Abrahami Suffis who believe jihad is an internal struggle, but even they might not forego killing a blasphemer, if they believed blasphemy had been committed.

Many people will be decent to others regardless of their cultural milieu. And, I’m convinced that some people are born misfits. But, in between, there’s a significant population fraction that can be pushed in either direction, depending on what they are exposed to.

Islam pushes a lot of them towards the dark side. Islamic recruitment should be discouraged in prison, where it entrains people with demonstrated antisocial tendencies with the promise they can act out on the unbelievers.

In a milder fashion, today’s leftists play on the weaknesses of the psychologically malleable.

An interesting side conversation could be had on estimating the population distribution of these tendencies.

It would have to be estimated. Torabora doesn’t respond to survey study questionnaires. Would make a great spoof to draft one.

That bit about the Soviet Union is Spencer's comment, not something that was in the Times article. The article was an op-ed somebody sent in to the paper, not something the newspaper's staff or management produced.

In fact, it may not even have appeared in the paper but only on the website. In any case, newspapers provide space in print or on line for people who write articles on their own.

By publishing op-eds they do imply that the article isn't completely absurd or dishonest, but they aren't necessarily endorsing the opinions in the op-ed.
