DEFINING ISLAM DOWN
CurryforAmerica.com
Islam is a political ideology masquerading as a religion. It is protected in this country by political correctness run amuck. Muslim extremists and terrorists hide behind Muslim moderates, moderates who do not endorse the senseless brutal murder of innocents outright, but who – almost without exception – fail to forcefully oppose or fight against it. Anyone who fairly or publicly opposes or criticizes Islam or the Koran is accused of damning all Islamists because of the actions of a few radical extremists, of unnecessarily stoking the fires of anti-Islamic prejudice, and of being an Islamophobe.
Some claim that American Muslims have contributed much to American civilization and that Islam is faithful and true to American principles. It would be good to be reminded of the heroic contributions made by Muslim patriots at Valley Forge, Gettysburg and Yorktown, or to hear about their sacrifices and sufferings at Omaha Beach and Iwo Jima. But there are none.
Other Muslims demand that we apologize for American exceptionalism and success, for being who we are, for our reluctance to accept Islamic Sharia Law as a political system – an ideology that has no American history and has made no contribution to our founding.
To assume that Muslims
appreciate and accept the same moral values as those
cherished by our Founders is insanity bordering on
stupidity. Consider that Islamic culture embraces
and institutionalizes such things as the murder of
innocents, the cutting off of hands and heads,
mutilating and honor killing of girls, men beating
and flogging women, and parents training their four
year old children to be suicide bombers.
Still there are those who, in dealing with Muslim nations, wave olive branches when the situation calls for wielding a battle ax. Islam in the middle-east is much like Communism in China and Russia. Islam does not need to be contained; it needs to be defeated.
Those who prefer to live under Islam or Communism pretend that the state is good and exists solely to fight for the common man. Therefore, whatever is good for the party is good for the state and, by extrapolation, is good for the common man, which in turn is supposedly good for the state.
Our Founders believed that American citizens had a God given right, rooted in self-government, to Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness. Muslims do not share such beliefs. They see man’s rights not as self-evident, but as entitlements from Allah. Kipling the poet said it best, “East is east and west is west and never the twain shall meet.”
We Americans are governed by a Constitution that was designed to secure the blessings of liberty to ourselves and to our posterity. Muslims are governed by Koranic Sharia Law. These systems of government are mutually exclusive. You can follow one or the other, but you cannot follow both at the same time.
No nation can be governed by two Constitutions; the people will come to respect one and despise the other, or vice versa. America’s Declaration of Independence proclaims that governments are instituted among men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed. In this nation all power comes from the consent of the people, not from a religion.
Under Islam there is no such thing as objective right and wrong no matter how the writings of the Koran are interpreted. According to the U.S. Constitution, man’s rights are unalienable and come from God. Islam does not believe in our Founders’ God, self-evident truths, natural laws, or personal responsibility.
Islam does not advance morality as a concept of personal conduct or government. John Adams our second president summed it up best when he said, “Our constitution was made only for a moral and religious people. It is wholly inadequate to the government of any other.” And I would suggest that it is wholly inadequate to Muslims.
Islam and Sharia Law are one and the same; there is no separating them. They are both political and religious and in addition to prescribing ritual worship, they prescribe how to conduct business affairs, how to define morals and manners, as well as beliefs and punishment. They are a way of life and to Muslims, a republican form of government and free speech are abominations which must be eliminated.
Omar Ahmad, founder of the Hamas terrorist related group Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) said, “Islam isn’t in America to be equal to any other faith, but to become dominant … the only accepted religion on earth.” In short, Muslims do not believe in or practice religious freedom.
Islamic extremists are cowardly and avoid engaging military forces that are armed and trained to fight back on equal terms. Instead, they prey on, maim and kill unarmed women and children, then celebrate their massacres in the streets as if they were great and honorable military victories.
Clearly Islam is in the process of trying to deconstruct western civilization’s traditional freedoms and values. It is concerned with license, not freedom, with establishing a new world order based on despotic Islam, not freedom and justice. There is a titanic struggle taking place as to whether future generations will continue to build upon the concepts of our Founders and on the Laws of Nature and of Nature’s God, or on the dictatorial capriciousness of Islam.
Does this mean that we are at war with Islam? Not unless you consider Muslims killing nearly 3,000 innocent Americans on 9/11 an act of war. While we may not be at war with Islam, Islam is clearly at war with us. Islam is and will continue to be at war with the U.S. and the western world unless and until we all convert to Islam. According to Muslim teachings the world can only live in peace when Islam and Sharia Law reign supreme in every country in the world, including China, India and Russia.
Obviously that day will never come, so Islam will always be at war with the non-Muslim world; Islam will always be wed to violence, killing, rape and murder. Sir Winston Churchill would probably conclude, “Muslims don’t want to go to war with the United States. What they desire are the fruits of war and the indefinite expansion of their power and Islamic doctrines.”
The New York Times got it right in reporting on the ten medical workers who were killed by the Taliban in Afghanistan, “The Taliban claimed responsibility for the killings … in spite of this outrage Muslims around the world are silent. There is no condemnation, no shame, and no contrition. No one has suggested that this act is inconsistent with the Koran, the Muslim religion, or anything. What are the rest of us to conclude about this so-called peace-loving, hospitable religion?”
One prominent American Muslim
points out that when he was a child growing up in
his family, “We learned the doctrine of
al toqia,
of lying to our enemies for the sake of Islam.”
It is very convenient to be able to lie on
demand, as all Muslims are taught to do. When a
Muslim refers to Islam as a religion of peace he is
lying and being deceitful
Raheel Raza and Tarek Fatah, two Muslims who are members of the Canadian Muslim Congress write: “As for … New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg and much of the media, who are blind to the Islamist agenda in North America … their stand is based on ignorance and guilt, and they will never in their lives have to face the tyranny of Islamism that targets, kills, and maims Muslims word wide, and is using liberalism itself to destroy liberal secular democratic societies from within.”
So it is not possible to completely believe any treaty that a Muslim state agrees to or signs. Today the middle-east stands on the brink of a cultural and religious abyss. How can Israel, in good conscience, enter into and honor a peace agreement with any Muslim country or political group? How can the U.S. or the U.N. believe that Iran will not develop nuclear weapons just because it says it won’t?
There can be exceptions, but they are few and far between and have nothing to do with religion. The word of certain Islamic leaders and royal families can be honored because over many years they have demonstrated that they are honorable people and their word can be relied on and trusted.
Muslim terrorist actions don’t support the feigned moderate Muslim cry of “peace, peace!” The horribly evil terrorist attacks targeted against our great country and its citizens before and after on 9/11were not initiated and carried out by Episcopalians, Baptists, or Catholics. They were carried out by Muslims. Don’t forget that Islam is a political ideology masquerading as a peaceful religion. It is protected in this country by misguided academic, political and media elites who day and night try to destroy anyone who opposes America becoming Islamitised.
But we Americans will continue to fight on for the rights and freedoms our Founders bequeathed to us. They didn’t surrender to repugnant foreign values, ideas and deceptions, and neither must we.
