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

There are 149 overt and easily found verses of the Qur’an alone that invoke Muslims to fight against nonbelievers,
with scores more of supporting and more subtle references. Justifications and encouragement in
Muslim’s other sacred works are even more abundant. Despite the constant repetition of the view that
Islam is a religion of peace, only the most naïve and foolish could possibly look at events around the
world and conclude there is any truth to this. Time and again, the many biographies of Muhammad and
the Caliphs that followed him reveal that he employed murder and war repeatedly to advance Islam. He
was particularly obsessed with killing Jews.
A few brave souls struggle against its core teachings to move Islam toward civility, but Islam’s
response to terrorism is largely rhetoric, platitudes and disingenuous ‘lip-service’, in continuing contrast
to her actions. Actions like running training camps of hatred and war in Islamic schools where the chief
teaching tool is the Qur’an, a book that reads like a terrorist manifesto. It is wise to be wary of a people
that embrace a religion based on texts filled with bigotry, hatred, and graphic violence. Islam proclaims
peace as it engages in Jihad, tolerance as it persecutes, and freedom as it enslaves the rest of humanity.
The truth is that Islam’s religious tenants and philosophy are not benign but full of vile hatred, which is
continuing to drive terrorist acts. Yet this cult continues to deceive others at an astonishing pace to accept
the philosophy as a legitimate religion, and then later moves them to join in Jihad, a Jihad directed
towards each of us individually, our families, our neighbors, our friends, our Constitution, our
government, our nation, and our religious beliefs (or lack thereof).
So, why is it that so many Muslims want to see America broken or destroyed? The answer is simple,
America is a powerful superpower; indeed some say the last superpower. Its military strength and
pervasive cultural power represents the best hope against the violent spread of Islam. Obviously, if
America is weakened or incapacitated, then Muslim terrorists can begin to act with much more impunity
throughout the world. The attack against the WTC was not simply an effort to kill large numbers of
American people, had they wanted to do that they could have found better targets. Rather, the attempted
attack against the Whitehouse, and attacks against the WTC and Pentagon were strikes at America’s
financial strength, government, and military command and control center, conveniently coupled with the
murder and destruction of ordinary Americans. Muslims believe that if they can hurt us badly, we might
capitulate and not reply to the threat from the extremists, or at least hope to weaken us and make it much
more difficult to deal with or pursue them elsewhere in the world. Just as Muhammad destroyed the
financial strength and morale of the date-palm groves of the Banu Nadir, and had key leaders
assassinated, so to, these Muslims have struck at our financial strength and leadership.
Consider the current war in Afghanistan and Iraq costing hundreds of billions, no country can long
sustain such expenses. Eventually, our capacity to counter Islamic violence will diminish as it is spread
thin. Calculate the results of 9/11/01 with its billions of dollars lost and tens of thousands of Americans
out of work. The stock market crashed, taking over two years to recover, and its recovery may still be
somewhat tenuous. The economy fell deeper into recession. Looking further down the road, the militants
probably hope that once America is broken or destroyed, then the rest of Europe, Australia, or other
regions can next be targeted with impunity.
If Muslims in Algeria can slit the throats of small Algerian children and throw them down wells, then
zealots cut from the same violent cloth will not care one iota about any American life. These murdered
children were fellow Algerians and sometimes fellow Muslims. Perhaps they weren’t Muslim enough to
the Muslim terrorists. In either case, the devoted Muslims we are dealing with are of the same spirit that
murdered these children, who slaughtered the children of Beslan, Russia, and the same spirit that had the
Jews of the Banu Qurayza tribe massacred. This is a spiritual war, where militant Muslim extremists are
pawns in the hands of a force with a truly evil agenda …the utter domination and complete control of the
entire human race! My claim is that the spiritual power behind terrorism is bigger, and more perverse,
than all failed political theologies propagated to date, because it does not know human bounds. Militant
Muslims serving their terror masters will not care about millions of American deaths, they will cherish it.
Just as devout Muslims in Chicago and on American campuses rejoiced at the destruction of the WTC, so
too large numbers of Muslims here and abroad still look forward to the day that America can be brought
low.
