A Critical Analysis of 'Real Islam'. Its People ... - Bukti dan Saksi

launch the raid on Satan’s U.S. troops and the devil’s supporters allying with them, and to displace those who
are behind them so that they may learn a lesson".
When the U.S. Marines landed in Somalia at the end of 1992 as part of a U.N. humanitarian effort,
Bin-Laden’s troops were there, shooting down our helicopters and dragging the bodies of our murdered
sons through the streets. No action ever taken by Bill Clinton, who assumed office in the immediate
aftermath of the Somalian debacle, ever did anything to dissuade bin Laden of his convictions or slow his
minions. What lessons should we learn from this? The same lessons the world ought to have learned in
the late 1930s when Hitler occupied the Rhineland, remilitarized, and set about gobbling up his neighbors
in an attempt to make his Third Reich the –only- ‘Reich’. The first lesson is that weakness is provocative
to those who would conquer us.
Whatever is or is not authentic transcription of Islamic dogma, we do know that the people who ran
the airliners into the World Trade Center believed that a Qur’anic voice was telling them to do what they
did. We have the four-page document that told them not only what to do, but what to think. "Kill them, as
God said; No Prophet can have prisoners of war … God has prepared for believers in endless happiness
for martyrs … Be steadfast and remember [that in] God you will be triumphant."
Can we continue to refer to large parts of angry Islam as simply another religion when it clearly seeks
the destruction of western civilization? Carefully selected, there are Qur’anic preachments that are
consistent with civilized life, but we would be blind indeed to exclude the dominant Jihadist text and the
political and cultural realities of the remainder of widely taught dogma that incite issue after issue of
violent edicts (Fatwas) from its local leadership. On September 11 th we were looked in the face by a deed
done by Muslims who understood they were acting out Muslim ideals. It is all very well for individual
Muslim spokesmen to assert the misjudgment of the terrorist, but we must recognize that the Islamic
world is substantially made up of countries that ignore, countenance, if not support terrorist activity.
In December 1994, Bassam Alamoush, a prominent Jordanian fundamentalist, began talk before the
Muslim Arab Youth Association in Chicago with an anecdote: "Somebody approached me at the mosque
[in Amman] and asked me, ‘If I see a Jew in the street, should I kill him?’" From a videotape in his
possession, Steven Emerson, the well-known authority on international terrorism, describes what
happened next: After pausing a moment with a dumbfounded face, Alamoush answered the question to a
laughing crowd: "Don’t ask me. After you kill him, come and tell me. What do you want from me, a
fatwa [legal ruling]? Really, a good deed does not require one." Later in the speech, Alamoush was
interrupted by an aide with a note "Good news there has been a suicide operation in Jerusalem" killing
three people. Thunderous applause followed his statement.
A little more than two weeks after the 9/11 attack, an Associated Press reporter in Hamburg,
Germany was with some 200 worshippers who listened raptly as the imam at al-Quds mosque delivered a
fiery 45-minute sermon on the sins of the infidels and the arrogance of the West. "God, we implore You
to destroy the United States of America," shouted the imam. Not a soul flinched. The congregation recited
in unison, "Amen.". Mustafa Kamal Uddin, a 32-year-old body-and-fender man in Karachi, explained it
to a New York Times reporter. You see, he said, holy wars come about only when Allah has no other way
to maintain justice, times like now. "That is why Allah took out his sword".
We demand to know: Who taught Mustafa Kamal Uddin to reason in that way, and the crowds in
Karachi to support such thinking? Can the answer be other than Islam and many or most of its clerics?
Pending an answer to the question, and the unmistakable responsibility by reputable Muslims to extirpate
such mis-teaching, it is incumbent on all civilized peoples to renounce modern acrimonious Islam.
Responsible and thoughtful Muslims themselves need to recognize the fatal flaws within Islam’s society,
teachings, and structure, which are responsible for so many sorrows. Honest introspection will prompt the
wise, moral, and the spiritually alive to abandon dark anti-western tenants, and if still inclined to look for
purpose and structure from God, to a search for a superior source of inspiration.
The Answer
All Arab/Muslim grievances together could not possibly justify their actions or hatreds towards this
people, but rather are only very poor excuses from an errant thought process, otherwise known as
"magical thinking". But those errors in thinking and subsequent acts cannot mitigate in the slightest
