Responding to a Dhimmi Apologist

On Sunday, our local paper, the Sun
Herald, published a Letter to the Editor
from John Briggs of Roxie, Mississippi. Titled, "Do
not confuse ISIL with Islam," it
demonstrates a profound, conquered
dhimmi mentality on the part of Mr.
Briggs, who is an enthusiastic supporter of Islam.
In part, Mr. Briggs writes:
It is quite obvious that in their vain attempt to
slander Islam, certain media and individuals are
eager to display their Islamophobia by propping up
ISIL (Iblis' servants in Iraq and the Levant) as the
image of Islam. However, I am surprised the Sun
Herald would slyly participate in such behavior by
publishing such thinly veiled religious bigotry as
the Dec. 8 column ("How the Islamic State drives
Muslims from Islam") by Thomas Friedman of the New
York Times.
Iblis is the Arabic word for the personification of
evil (Satan). I share this linguistic lesson to
distinguish between the Muslim majority and those
who declare themselves to be ISIL. The Muslim
majority considers ISIL and its financial,
ideological, religious and sectarian supporters to
be enemies of Islam.
... Just as it would be wickedly absurd to put
cologne or perfume on a rose to enhance its
fragrance, it is equally absurd to attach
sunna-hadiths, sharia law or blatant bigotry to the
beauty and fragrance of Islam
The fact that out of the 1.5 billion Muslims on
Earth only a few thousand misbelievers have joined
the servants of Iblis or left Islam because of ISIL
should shed light on the true motives and integrity
of those who seek to use ISIL as their masterpiece
of anti-Islamic propaganda.
It's amazing to me that such a fervent apologist for
Islam resides in the tiny southwest Mississippi town
of Roxie, although I know leftists are everywhere.
It's also amazing that with the massive body count
of Islamist murder victims (in the hundreds of
millions), and the many others suffering under its
brutal oppression, that anyone could still be so
utterly deceived about the true, purely evil nature
of Islam.
I couldn't let Mr. Briggs letter go unanswered, so I
wrote a letter and e-mailed it to the Sun Herald
editor on Monday. I would be very surprised if my
letter is published, so I'm going to include it
here. You may wonder why I would write a column
about some small-town letter to the editor. The
reason is that Mr. Briggs' thinking and his
arguments in defense of the indefensible are far too
common today among utopian leftists. These people
ignorantly help the cause of Islamic supremacism,
and their claims must be refuted whenever they
surface. Here's my letter:
According to John Briggs (letter, Sunday Dec.
14), those who point out that ISIL is Muslim are
attempting to "slander" Islam and are displaying
"Islamophobia." I would note that with over 24,000
Muslim terror attacks globally since 9-11 alone,
Islam does a fine job of "slandering" itself without
any help from outsiders. As for the term
"Islamophobia," I have no regard for a bogus
construct that is intended to silence those who have
right, reasoned opposition to the subversive,
militant-political ideology of Islam that is couched
in a religion.
Since Mr. Briggs enjoys linguistics, I would assume
he knows the meaning of the word Islam. It means
submission. Contrary to what deceptive Muslim
apologists maintain, Islam is not a "religion of
peace." It is a religion of war and submission, as
it has been throughout its more than 1,400-year
history. When Muslims are the majority in a nation,
you either embrace Islam, submit to it, or expect to
be killed. Don't take my word for it. You need look
no further than the Koran itself:
"When the sacred months are over slay the idolaters
wherever you find them. Arrest them, besiege them,
and lie in ambush everywhere for them." – The Koran,
Surah 9:5
That's just one of many similar verses that instruct
Muslims to fight, subdue or kill the "idolater" or
"infidel," who is any non-Muslim or even a fellow
Muslim with whom you are opposed.
When Muslims are a minority in any country, they
employ the Muslim tenet of deception (taqiyya) in
the furtherance of Islam's spread. The claims that
sharia law, their hadiths and ISIL are not Islamic
are examples of this deception. Likewise, the
assertion that the "beauty and fragrance" of Islam
have been hijacked by the ugliness and stench of a
barbaric, apostate minority is a lie. The terrorists
are actually obeying the Koran.
We need to wake up and have the courage to shake off
the shackles of "political correctness" and realize
that Muslims who declare the United States is the
"Great Satan" that must be destroyed mean exactly
what they say.
