Islam, Not Extremism, Is The Problem

Family Security Matters has a post which links to a video produced by Americans for Peace and Tolerance.

The video is fairly short, and very interesting.



My thoughts after viewing it:

1. This jihadism isn't happening by accident. There are links between the terrorists here in the US, and the terrorists overseas. These people run in the same circles, and they have a common ideology.

2. Too many of our "religious" establishments that advocate the "Religion of Peace" are tied to organizations that have advocated the destruction of everything America has ever stood for.

This post is not a blanket condemnation of all Muslims. I know there are good people who are Muslims, and who really believe that theirs is a religion of peace. In fact, Americans for Peace and Tolerance, the organization which made the above video, apparently includes such people.

But Islam is not a "religion of peace". Islam is an expansionist political/philosophical doctrine, an ideology of totalitarianism and armed conquest.

Muslims who are "radical", "militant" or "extremist" are only symptoms; the disease is the Islam.

The situation is very much a parallel with Nazism. There were people who joined the Nazi party because of positive things they thought they heard the Nazis advocating. Not every Nazi had a personal hand in organizing the Holocaust. But, the Nazi Party itself, and the people who founded it and ran it, were the problem.

In the same way, Islam is a dangerous ideology, and these mullahs that preach death and destruction and the fire for us brothers and sisters of apes and pigs are not holy men the way a Buddhist monk is a holy man.

As soon as their brothers come to power, those good people who are Muslims that I mentioned above will either change their viewpoint, or they will share in our fate -- just like what happened to too many good people in Germany in the Nazi era. Their brothers have a name for good people who are Muslims: Takfir.

Let's get our heads out of our asses and call a spade "a spade": Islam is a totalitarian ideology of armed conquest, seeking complete domination of the body and mind in the here-and-now, and of the soul in the hereafter; in other words, Islam sucks.

Narrated Abu Huraira: Allah's Apostle said, "I have been sent with the shortest expressions bearing the widest meanings, and I have been made victorious with terror (cast in the hearts of the enemy), and while I was sleeping, the keys of the treasures of the world were brought to me and put in my hand." Abu Huraira added: Allah's Apostle has left the world and now you, people, are bringing out those treasures (i.e. the Prophet did not benefit by them).
