NEVER SPEAK ILL OF ISLAM.

I’m sure you will be aware that Dutch politician Geert Wilders has posted a film critical of the Koran on the internet. The opening scenes show a copy of the Koran, followed by footage of the attacks on the US on 11 September 2001. The 17-minute film was posted on video-sharing website LiveLeak. (It’s been posted over on my own blog as it all helps the general debate on the Religion of Peace AND Love.)

Now then, the BBC reports this but the BBC report itself is laced with all kinds of subtle poison. For example, if you read it you will note that the State Broadcaster cannot apparently find anyone to interview who is in FAVOUR of this film on the nature of Islam. Furthermore it immediately characterises Geert Wilders as “right-wing” however no other political comment is prefaced with such a description. Is anyone who opposes the advance of Islam a right-winger?

Now I don’t hold the BBC responsible for the cowardly Dutch PM Jan Peter Balkenende who disowns this questioning of Islam, but I do hold the BBC responsible for ensuring that the topic is covered by providing a range of views. However anyone who raises questions about the Koran and those who use it to justify their terrorist pathologies seems to be persona non gratia in Beebland.

    Aye, Nietzsche (who went mad) believed that the falseness of a proposition is no argument against it if it furthers the feeling of life and power. Now that’s kind of similar, except Allah has been replaced with vitality.

    Though there is this:

    2:106. Whatever a Verse (revelation) do We {Allah} abrogate or cause to be forgotten, We bring a better one or similar to it. Know you not that Allah is able to do all things?

    and,

    “2.106”: Whatever communications We abrogate or cause to be forgotten, We bring one better than it or like it. Do you not know that Allah has power over all things?

    Which of course means the blood thirsty Medina verses superseed the earlier verses where they contradict.

    Islam is not a religion nor is it a cult. It is a complete system.
    Islam has religious, legal, political, economic and militarycomponents. The religious component is a beard for all the othercomponents.
    Islamization occurs when there are sufficient Muslims in a country to agitate for their so-called ‘religious rights.’
    When politically correct and culturally diverse societies agree to ‘thereasonable’ Muslim demands for their ‘religious rights,’ they also getthe other components under the table. Here’s how it works (percentagessource CIA: The World Fact Book (2007)).
    As long as the Muslim population remains around 1% of any given countrythey will be regarded as a peace-loving minority and not as a threat toanyone. In fact, they may be featured in articles and films,stereotyped for their colorful uniqueness:
    United States — Muslim 1.0%
    Australia — Muslim 1.5%
    Canada — Muslim 1.9%
    China — Muslim 1%-2%
    Italy — Muslim 1.5%
    Norway — Muslim 1.8%At 2% and 3% they begin to proselytize from other ethnic minorities anddisaffected groups with major recruiting from the jails and amongstreet gangs:
    Denmark — Muslim 2%
    Germany — Muslim 3.7%
    United Kingdom — Muslim 2.7%
    Spain — Muslim 4%
    Thailand — Muslim 4.6%From 5% on they exercise an inordinate influence in proportion to their percentage of the population.
    They will push for the introduction of halal (clean by Islamicstandards) food, thereby securing food preparation jobs for Muslims.They will increase pressure on supermarket chains to feature it ontheir shelves — along with threats for failure to comply. (UnitedStates).
    France — Muslim 8%
    Philippines — Muslim 5%
    Sweden — Muslim 5%
    Switzerland — Muslim 4.3%
    The Netherlands — Muslim 5.5%
    Trinidad & Tobago — Muslim 5.8%At this point, they will work to get the ruling government to allowthem to rule themselves under Sharia, the Islamic Law. The ultimategoal of Islam is not to convert the world but to establish Sharia lawover the entire world.
    When Muslims reach 10% of the population, they will increaselawlessness as a means of complaint about their conditions (Paris –car-burnings). Any non-Muslim action that offends Islam will result inuprisings and threats (Amsterdam — Mohammed cartoons).
    Guyana — Muslim 10%
    India — Muslim 13.4%
    Israel — Muslim 16%
    Kenya — Muslim 10%
    Russia — Muslim 10-15%After reaching 20% expect hair-trigger rioting, jihad militia formations, sporadic killings and church and synagogue burning:
    Ethiopia — Muslim 32.8%At 40% you will find widespread massacres, chronic terror attacks and ongoing militia warfare:
    Bosnia — Muslim 40%
    Chad — Muslim 53.1%
    Lebanon — Muslim 59.7%From 60% you may expect unfettered persecution of non-believers andother religions, sporadic ethnic cleansing (genocide), use of ShariaLaw as a weapon and Jizya, the tax placed on infidels:
    Albania — Muslim 70%
    Malaysia — Muslim 60.4%
    Qatar — Muslim 77.5%
    Sudan — Muslim 70%After 80% expect State run ethnic cleansing and genocide:
    Bangladesh — Muslim 83%
    Egypt — Muslim 90%
    Gaza — Muslim 98.7%
    Indonesia — Muslim 86.1%
    Iran — Muslim 98%
    Iraq — Muslim 97%
    Jordan — Muslim 92%
    Morocco — Muslim 98.7%
    Pakistan — Muslim 97%
    Palestine — Muslim 99%
    Syria — Muslim 90%
    Tajikistan — Muslim 90%
    Turkey — Muslim 99.8%
    United Arab Emirates — Muslim 96%100% will usher in the peace of ‘Dar-es-Salaam’ — the Islamic House ofPeace — there’s supposed to be peace because everybody is a Muslim:
    Afghanistan — Muslim 100%
    Saudi Arabia — Muslim 100%
    Somalia — Muslim 100%
    Yemen — Muslim 99.9%Of course, that’s not the case. To satisfy their blood lust, Muslims then start killing each other for a variety of reasons.
    ‘Before I was nine I had learned the basic canon of Arab life. It wasme against my brother; me and my brother against our father; my familyagainst my cousins and the clan; the clan against the tribe; and thetribe against the world and all of us against the infidel. — LeonUris, ‘The Haj’
    It is good to remember that in many, many countries, such as France,the Muslim populations are centered around ghettos based on their ethnicity. Muslims do not integrate into the community at large.Therefore, they exercise more power than their national average would indicate.

    When it comes to Islam, I am indeed a “raving bigot.” Guilty as charged. For good reason, I might add. And yes I would sue if it were my child being subjected to this outrageous multi-CULTI propaganda. In fact I would do more than threaten to sue — I’d show up at the principal’s office and scream bloody murder until they took me out feet first.

    It would beggar belief if someone wrote that about a visit to a synagogue. I doubt anyone is advocating pulling down Erevs, banning kosher meat and closing synagogues because multiculturalism is a bad thing.

    “I lost one of my children to that evil cult many years ago– I don’t intend to lose the other one. Make of that what you will.”

    Firstly, I’m sorry for you, although if you don’t mind me asking how did you lose your child, i.e. what happened?

    But the danger of declaring that every mosque visit is submission to the forces of evil, that every muslim is a cultist is that it’s a self-fulfilling prophesy – the reaction of anyone to a threat on their “culture” is radicalisation – and it’s a fairly unpleasant slur on the large numbers of moderate, law abiding muslims.

    I’m no great fan of multiculturalism either but a bunch of 7 year old kids visiting a mosque, or a sikh temple, or a synagogue isn’t a big deal.

    A large bunch of muslim kids becoming more radical, or ghettoised enclaves is a big deal. There is a difference.

    I’m inclined to agree. A check of the school website has the Year Two children making Torah scrolls from aluminum foil and cardboard tubes and Twinning with a Sri Lankan (Buddhist) school. This trip seems to be well inline with National Curriculum Religious Education guidelines. The story wasn’t even covered by the BBC so why waste bandwidth?

    RE provokes challenging questions about the ultimate meaning and purpose of life. Faith schools are free to make their own arrangements.

    Has anyone ever heard of an Islamic school visit to a synagogue, church or temple? Did they in any way adapt to the place e.g. kneel? It seems to me that is the real story.

    “a self-fulfilling prophesy”

    No, no, no. I’m embarrassed for you. Avoiding “a self-fulfilling prophesy” been the tactic followed by the entire western world for decades now and it hasn’t worked. That’s why they wanted to ban Fitna. It engenders opposition to Islamification which requires violence from muslims which is therefore “a self-fulfilling prophesy.”

    Do you know in the Netherlands the police don’t bother dispersing (muslim) rioters because it would “escalate” the trouble. It doesn’t work of course but that wont stop the cognitively impaired police from doing it anyway.

    “It would beggar belief if someone wrote that about a visit to a synagogue. I doubt anyone is advocating pulling down Erevs, banning kosher meat and closing synagogues because multiculturalism is a bad thing.”

    This is just typical of egalitarians. In order to promote the illusion that everyone is equal, equally good, equally bad, none more blame worthy than any other they have to distort reality. Judaism is not Islam. Interestingly Jews are now being persecuted with a vigour that hasn’t been seen since WW2 by muslims. Judaism is not Islam. It is very bad form to make that comparison.

    “A large bunch of muslim kids becoming more radical”

    No, you have your facts wrong. The ring leader of the 7/7 bombers Mohammed Siddque Khan was age 31 when he died. He was married with 1 child and had another on the way. He was university educated. Out of the 4 7/7 bombers 2 of them were teenagers, the others were fully grown adults. To call them kids is, at the very best, glib. At worst it is base and evasive. Many people have tried to reduce them perverted individual psychology–petulant, young hot heads, repressed homosexuality etc–but that is not what they are: for they are Islamic terrorists.

    Also, consider this:

    David Cameron:
    “Last year I visited Birmingham Central Mosque. While there, I was told that the 7/7 bombers were innocent and that, in fact, MI5 may have carried out the atrocities.I was particularly shocked because the person who said this was not some teenage hothead…he was the chairman of the Mosque…”

    What tactic – not treating the whole of Islam, every man woman and child, like a dangerous cult?

    Plenty of reasonable people believe that government treatment of multiculturalism generally and radical Islam specifically has been poor without feeling the need to declare the whole of Islam as a dangerous cult.

    “In order to promote the illusion that everyone is equal, equally good, equally bad, none more blame worthy than any other they have to distort reality. Judaism is not Islam.”

    So what, multiculturalism is OK if you’re defined as an OK religion? By who exactly? Given history, I would bet that most of the UK’s Jews population here in the UK would be extremely uncomfortable with selective proscribing of a few million religious followers based on someone, or some system, declaring them bad but another group OK.

    “A large bunch of muslim kids becoming more radical. No, you have your facts wrong”

    No, I have my facts right: a large bunch of muslim kids are becoming more radical. The fact that Khan wasn’t a kid doesn’t change that.

    I hesitate to contradict your fine sense of fury over the prep school’s admirable desire to see its children understand each of the world’s major religions, but…

    I recently had the pleasure to attend my little girl’s school Easter service. As it happens, the chairman of the PTA at this C of E school is a Muslim, and he’s succeeded in raising more for the school funds than any recent PTA leader. All of his 5 children have attended this primary, before going on to an Islamic secondary school.

    What’s more, I sat a few rows back from his little boy, who happily sang, knelt, stood and prayed along with his otherwise entirely Christian classmates.

    As yet, no fatwah has been issued against the family (prominent local business people) or the school and its patron, the local Anglican vicar.

    Doubtless it’s been held up in the post.

    In this case the mosque visit may have been part of their general religious education. But such well intentioned educational ‘add-ons’ are justifiably regarded by people who fear Islam as the thin end of a wedge because they divorce Islam from what Hillhunt calls ‘the nasty side.’ Even at their most radical there is no element in any of the other religions you mention that is comparable to the hatred fear and violence espoused by Islam.

    It’s not that a mosque visit in itself is a wholesale submission, as you very well know. It’s the normalisation of Islam, the first step in establishing a general acceptance that Islam is becoming part of the status quo. To those who fear this encroachment it symbolises an unwelcome societal change, whereas to you it seems harmless. But with all the undesirable aspects of Islam that are in front of your nose, the mystery is actually your complacency.

    Your tactic, branding us as racist bigots, is an all too familiar argument stifler. Resorting to such verbal rhetoric merely shows you can hit out but not discuss. I see that in your later post you did modify that tactic, so good.

    You obviously believe that normalising Islam will discourage radicalisation and encourage moderate Muslims. But this will not happen. I fear the opposite will be the case. Too many of the actual community leaders and Imams that preach in mosques are the ones who are dangerous, unadaptable, fear engendering, and the moderate muslims are in fact the ones who have adapted to a more secular way of life, i.e. are ‘bad’ muslims. Normalising Islam is wrong. Abnormalising it is right for this country.

    Hillhunt,
    Your daughter’s school has one Muslim pupil? Lucky for you that you don’t have to send her to a school where she’s the only non muslim pupil. (Assuming she is non muslim)
    Ridiculing by exaggeration again, your fatwah remark was daft. Mind you, I know what you mean about the post. Terrible innit.

    I wouldn’t generalise from Hillhunt’s personal interpretation of his Islamic experience above. My experience of Islam is very different.

    I put much more credence on this assessment and exposition of the Muslim Brotherhood’s ‘PROJECT’; here’s an extract:

    “What makes The Project so different from the standard ‘Death of America! Death to Israel!’ and ‘Establish the global caliphate!’ Islamist rhetoric is that it represents a flexible, multi-phased, long-term approach to the ‘cultural invasion’ of the West. Calling for the utilization of various tactics, ranging from immigration, infiltration, surveillance, propaganda, protest, deception, political legitimacy and terrorism, The Project has served for more than two decades as the Muslim Brotherhood ‘master plan’. As can be seen in a number of examples throughout Europe • including the political recognition of parallel Islamist government organizations in Sweden, the recent ‘cartoon’ jihad in Denmark, the Parisian car-burning intifada last November, and the 7/7 terrorist attacks in London • the plan outlined in The Project has been overwhelmingly successful.

    “Rather than focusing on terrorism as the sole method of group action, as is the case with Al-Qaeda, in perfect postmodern fashion the use of terror falls into a multiplicity of options available to progressively infiltrate, confront, and eventually establish Islamic domination over the West. The following tactics and techniques are among the many recommendations made in The Project:

    *Networking and coordinating actions between likeminded Islamist organizations;
    *Avoiding open alliances with known terrorist organizations and individuals to maintain the appearance of “moderation”;
    *Infiltrating and taking over existing Muslim organizations to realign them towards the Muslim Brotherhood’s collective goals;
    *Using deception to mask the intended goals of Islamist actions, as long as it doesn’t conflict with shari’a law;

    Looking at the article from George R | 31.03.08 – 3:36 pm | #, omitted from it is the most important component – PC in the west which is islam’s agent and facilitator. The BBC is PC embodied and is an agent and facilitator for islam. Imagine if there were no PC: islam would make no headway in the west because islam would not be allowed entry into the west. That is why PC is extremely important: it suppresses the western immune system.

    “Your tactic, branding us as racist bigots, is an all too familiar argument stifler”

    No, it’s a response to someone who sees a visit by schoolchildren to a place of worship – without any accompanying evidence – as something highly sinister, and suspect. It’s also a response to an inability by those making those generalisations that there is anything other than a dangerous, cultist form of Islam.

    “the normalisation of Islam, the first step in establishing a general acceptance that Islam is becoming part of the status quo.”

    For better or worse, Islam is part of the status quo, unless there are plans to eject the x million muslims currently living in the UK, or forcibly convert them to another religion, or shut down all mosques. Are you suggesting any of those options is either feasible or desirable?

    “Too many of the actual community leaders and Imams that preach in mosques are the ones who are dangerous, unadaptable, fear engendering”

    Agreed, but why that makes a trip to Yeovil mosque some act of dhimmitude is the same rather unpleasant insinuation that every Muslim is suspect and any recognition of Islam is in some way a capitulation from good to evil.

    “You obviously believe that normalising Islam will discourage radicalisation and encourage moderate Muslims”

    Well I don’t actually, because “normalising” Islam, could mean anything, depending on whether you’re simply libertarian – these people should be free to worship what they choose – or a full blown moonbat who thinks a parallel sharia legal system is A-OK.

    What I do believe is that taking unnecessary steps to radicalise muslims is counterproductive.
