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

Many who have known devout followers of Allah have felt the distance between themselves and their
associates. This anti-social philosophy also goes a long way to explain the experiences of many women
who have married Muslims, only to be turned into slaves or otherwise treated harshly. In the officially
‘state sponsored’ Wahhabi controlled elementary schools in Saudi Arabia (our alleged ally in the war on
terror), there is a fifth-grade lesson book that reads as follows: "It is forbidden for a Muslim to be a friend
of one who does not believe in Allah and his Messenger or who fights the Islamic religion. God has
severed the [link of] friendship between Muslims and infidels. The Muslim, even if he lives far away, is
your brother-in-belief, while the infidel, even if he is your brother of kin, is your enemy by religion." It is
the Qur’an itself that directs Muslims to break friendship and business ties and other allegiances. The
Qur’an even takes this a step further.
58:22 You (O Muhammad) will not find any people who believe in Allah and the Last Day, making friendship
with those who oppose Allah and His Messenger (Muhammad), even though they were their fathers, or their
sons, or their brothers, or their kindred (people). For such He has written Faith in their hearts, and strengthened
them with Ruh (proofs, light and true guidance) from Himself. And We will admit them to Gardens (Paradise)
under which rivers flow, to dwell therein (forever). Allah is pleased with them, and they with Him. They are the
Party of Allah. Verily, it is the Party of Allah that will be the successful.
This shows that even family blood ties are to be broken in the cause of Islam, sometimes causing
orthodox Muslims to fight and kill their own relatives if they reject Muhammad’s rule. Family ties,
devotions, and sensibilities form the backbone of Western civilizations, from which we derive our
strength and teach morality. In Islam, even normal, natural family bonds are subservient and must yield to
Muhammad’s vision of Islam. This explains why, in many Muslim communities and households, family
member are expected to police the acts, thoughts, and expressions of other household members. On a
slightly broader scale, communities are expected to monitor the conduct of families in their
neighborhoods. So in Islamic lands, the control structure in place extends from the highest branches of the
government (including the Judiciary), to the lowliest family member. The consequences imposed for
failure to support the official family, neighborhood, tribal, national policy with respect to violent Jihad
vary by tribe and region, but are often quite brutal. Here is some more supporting Muslim opinion on the
subject:
"O believers, do not treat your fathers and brothers as your friends, if they prefer unbelief to belief, whosoever
of you takes them for friends, they are evil-doers." (Repentance: 20)
"Let not the believers take the unbelievers for friends.... whoso does that belongs not to God." (The House of
Imram: 60)
"O believers, do not make friends with the Jews and Christians; whoso of you makes them his friend is one of
them." (The Table: 55)
When one takes into consideration all that Muhammad asks of the faithful, the direction to have no
Muslim friends makes perfect sense. It’s all part of the psychology of violence. Built-in natural human
feelings of empathy and all impulses of conscience must first be overcome before an individual can
perform an act of violence or treachery upon another. Normal feelings of affection, respect, and trust
toward a friend would get in the way of a Jihadic action that might require the killing of that same friend.
When Muhammad specifically tells followers not to develop personal relationships others it serves to
dehumanize all non-Muslims. This philosophy and psychology, when internalized, is designed to groom
the Muslim believer into becoming an effective, non-thinking, non-feeling Jihadist warrior (i.e. a killing
machine). Objects of disdain are much easier to kill than real live, feeling human beings. Not exactly in
line with their oft repeated claim that ‘Allah is most merciful, most forgiving, most loving and charitable’,
but for some reason that contradiction does not seem to register. Certainly any personal dilemma resulting
from such contradictions are easily dismissed once fully immersed in the blood-lust and lynch-mob
mentality of Islamic militants. Apparently ‘most-merciful’ in their minds only applies to fellow Muslims
and is not proffered to infidels, except perhaps to survivors who agree to pay the eternal ‘survivor tax’
(assuming you can wrap your mind around the concept of ‘kind enslavement’ or ‘merciful indenturedservitude’).
From the perspective of non-brothers however, the Muslims personification of Allah seems
awfully cruel, unforgiving, unmerciful, and unfeeling.
