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

There are two very practical pieces of advice upon which one can base fair judgment of other people,
religions, and governments. In fact those who fail to embrace this advice completely are destined to
remain forever as lost as 'old' Europe is today. I believe my source is a good one. The first litmus test to
use in judgment is … "Only through a mans works is his true nature exposed". The other is "By this we
can know if man has truly repented … he will confess and forsake the bad behavior". By these two pieces
of advice, one can fairly judge the value of individual and groups actions, and also gauge the progression
if and when they realize their actions lead to bad fruit, and make claim to be reformed. Until then, it
would be stupid to call the kettle anything other than 'black', even when speaking from a pot that is less
than white.
It seems inevitable that this work is likely to be tagged by some as Islamophobic or racist. It may
appear (and some will undoubtedly charge) that the facts and views presented herein are extreme. But the
data is in fact genuine, accurate, as is the context in which it is presented. It seems inevitable these days
that perspectives based on traditional values are quickly tagged as politically 'incorrect', and often judged
as coming from the extreme far right. The author admits only to ascribing to a political and social
philosophy centered much more on personal responsibility and social/cultural accountability than is
currently interpreted as 'politically correct' by the far-left. There is Far-Left, Left, Middle, Right, and Far-
Right. Be careful not to limit and ascribe correct thinking and judgment to any one political philosophy.
Within all these leanings are valuable perspectives, truth, and sometimes even wisdom. The trick is
sorting through the mountains of propaganda necessary to get to any information of true value. Whatever
our political affiliation, continued prosperity, as well as our very survival, now dictates that this people
put aside their differences and concentrate on the values we share, and the threat common to all of us.
This work will explain exactly why the West waits in vain for Islam to take full responsibility for the
vile acts being produced in her name by a myriad of groups. Hopes will remain unfulfilled that majority
peaceful Islam, out of a sense of principal and humanity, will actually doing something to reform itself,
without having to be pressured by others. Until such a day we must be realistic and realize that what we
can expect is more of the same …a little 'hand wringing' is probably all we will ever see from their
regional and world leaders, along with more finger pointing at Israel and the West. The reasons for such
pessimism will become clear later. In the mean time, until we see effective action and hear convincingly
from this supposed vast silent majority of peace-loving Muslims, it is expedient for the rest of the world
to take off the blinders and begin to live with both eyes wide open. From knowledge comes wisdom, from
wisdom comes power, and from power comes safety. The only thing that springs from ignorance is error,
weakness, and sometimes …mortal peril. This is one of those times.
The Emperors Raiment
Once upon a time, there was a grand Emperor who enjoyed elaborate clothing and fine robes as
ornate and decorated as any great leader of vast kingdoms. Seeking to be the greatest of all he sought ever
finer raiment so that others might see outwardly the greatness and power of his office and influence. He
had the finest clothes and trappings commensurate with his desires, but a great tailor and wizard from
another land came and whispered in his ear that he could create an adornment so beautiful, grand, and
powerful that all who saw it would naturally worship the wearer as the greatest of all leaders. He claimed
the material to be used possessed the unique quality of being visible only to the truly enlightened and
intelligent, but would be invisible to stupid infidels. Work commenced and soon the great one was on
proud display with his new robe for the entire world to see. ‘The Emperor's New Clothes’ by Hans
Christian Andersen should be studied carefully as it seems more applicable today than any other time in
history. Today many view plainly the works of Islam yet continue to issue the usual politically correct
euphemisms of how beautiful and perfect the new robes appear (i.e. how peaceful the great religion is).
The simple innocence and honesty of an unafraid, unsophisticated child is called for to give the rest of us
the courage to state the obvious. Who are the modern-day weavers of the emperor’s new clothes today?
Islamic apologists, the myopic liberal media, academic elitists, as well as an unusual conflagration of
fascists, communists, European socialists, anarchists, and many other far-left and far-right organizations
throughout the world. But then even President Bush regularly defends and praises the "great, peaceful
world religion", giving it blanket legitimacy irrespective of the inaction and failure of the worlds ‘best’
