Is Islam inherently violent? It's the secret question in official Washington, D.C., in the Pentagon, and in the White House. It's the question that is so radioactive that most in government and the press dare not even pose it, let alone answer it: Is Islam inherently violent and expansionist? Five Big Lies Muslims Tell: (#4) They proclaim that Islam is a religion of peace, when Islam was established by the edge of the sword; when Muslims are involved in almost every war on the planet; and when Muslims introduced terrorism as we know it today to the world, and are responsible for almost all terrorist attacks in the world. You Must Remember This. "We are in the process of an historical war between the World of Arrogance and the Islamic world," Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad has declared, "and this war has been going on for hundreds of years." "We are not fighting so that you will offer us something," said Hussein Massawi, a former leader of Hezbollah. "We are fighting to eliminate you." "Rome will become an advanced post for the Islamic conquests, which will spread though Europe in its entirety, and then will turn to the two Americas, even Eastern Europe," Yunis al-Astal, a Muslim cleric and Hamas parliamentarian has pledged. Are Muslims really turning against the cult of the suicide bomber? [Scroll down] So will Osama be feeling the squeeze of moderate Muslim opinion? Will he and other Islamist leaders be holding policy review and consider abandoning suicide-bombing campaigns? Or, given the evidence of 1400-year long aggression against non-Muslims, does the media's sense of hope tell us more about the on-going denial of the Western mindset when it comes to the Jihadist concept of 'perpetual war'? The Decline and Fall of Islam: Islam has literally been at war with all other religions since its inception. It looks at the world as being divided between Islam and the world of the infidel, the unbeliever, the world of war. … Mohammed said, "The sword is the key to Heaven and Hell." By contrast, six hundred years earlier, Jesus said, "He who lives by the sword shall perish by the sword." One third of Muslim students back killings. Almost a third of British Muslim students believe killing in the name of Islam can be justified, according to a poll. The study also found that two in five Muslims at university support the incorporation of Islamic sharia codes into British law. Islamic 'Bugs Bunny' programme 'spreads extremism'. An Islamic television station is using a Bugs Bunny lookalike in a programme for children, who vote whether to chop off his hands when he breaches Sharia law. Assud the rabbit vows to "kill and eat Jews" and glorifies the maiming of "infidels" on the Palestinian children's show Tomorrow's Pioneers. Dalai Lama defends Islam as peaceful religion. The Dalai Lama said Sunday that "it's totally wrong, unfair" to call Islam a violent religion. The Tibetan spiritual leader, appearing at Lehigh University in Pennsylvania, offered a defense of Islam in response to a question about the rise of violent religious fundamentalism. He added that he has made a point of reaching out to Muslims since the attacks of Sept. 11, 2001. The Editor says... As far as I know, there's only one religion that is known for "violent religious fundamentalism," and that is Islam. Baptists and Catholics don't hijack planes and fly them into office buildings. Lutherans and Presbyterians don't make people nervous at the airport. Suicide bombers follow Quran, concludes Pentagon briefing. With suicide bombings spreading from Iraq to Afghanistan, the Pentagon has tasked intelligence analysts to pinpoint what's driving Muslim after Muslim to do the unthinkable. Their preliminary finding is politically explosive: it's their "holy book" the Quran after all. Love, blackmail and rape — how al-Qaeda grooms women as 'perfect weapons'. A woman pretending to be pregnant walks up to a hospital in one of Iraq's most dangerous regions and blows herself up. Minutes later a man, also laden with explosives, attacks the rescue workers who rushed to the scene in Diyala province, north of Baghdad. Thirty-two people are killed and 52 wounded. Islam's Barbarism is no 'Religion of Peace'. The savages who practice radical Islam continue their march down the road of seventh century barbarism. No other religion in the modern world is so vile, so hate-filled, so violently aggressive in the pursuit of its goals. In Indonesia, the world's largest Islamic state, three Christian teenage girls walking home from school were abducted and beheaded as "Ramadan trophies" by militants who conceived the idea after a visit with fellow jihadists in the Philippines. Jihadism, Liberalism and Perversion: Only Islamic clerics sanction the murder of women who have been raped. Only Islamic clerics issue murderous fatwas, celebrate murder of artists, and mobilize sword-wielding men to demand death for a female teacher who allowed children to name a teddy bear 'Mohammed'. Only Islam proudly exhibits videos of throat-cutters torturing helpless victims. Islam is intrinsically violent, says convert. Italian editor and critic of Islamic extremism Magdi Allam, who converted to Catholicism from Islam and was baptised by Pope Benedict XVI, today branded his former faith as intrinsically violent. "I had to do this (abandon Islam)", Allam wrote in a long letter to the Italian daily Corriere della Sera. "Beyond … the phenomenon of extremists and Islamist terrorism at the global level, the root of evil is inherent to a physiologically violent and historically conflictual Islam," wrote the Egyptian-born journalist, who says he has received death threats and is under police protection. Islamic books justify violence. Textbooks at a private Islamic school in Northern Virginia teach students that it is permissible for Muslims to kill adulterers and converts from Islam, according to a federal investigation released Wednesday [6/11/2008]. Other passages in the school's textbooks state that "the Jews conspired against Islam and its people" and that Muslims are permitted to take the lives and property of those deemed "polytheists." Bomber who struck Canadian troops was 11 years old, military sources say. Military sources say a bomb that wounded two Canadian soldiers near Kandahar on Friday [5/16/2008] was carried by an 11-year-old boy and was detonated by remote control, killing the boy. The two Canadian soldiers were not badly hurt, but the blast also struck two Afghan soldiers patrolling with them, one of whom later died. Muslim-only "No-go" zones Bishop warns of no-go zones for non-Muslims. Islamic extremists have created "no-go" areas across Britain where it is too dangerous for non-Muslims to enter, one of the Church of England's most senior bishops warns today. The Rt Rev Michael Nazir-Ali, the Bishop of Rochester and the Church's only Asian bishop, says that people of a different race or faith face physical attack if they live or work in communities dominated by a strict Muslim ideology. Threats to 'no-go areas' bishop. A bishop who claimed Islamic extremism has turned some communities into no-go areas for non-Muslims has received threats against himself and his family. The Bishop of Rochester, the Right Reverend Dr Michael Nazir-Ali, said last month non-Muslims may find it hard to live or work in some areas. Now he says he has received threats which have been reported to police. You can't preach the Bible here, this is a Muslim area. Two Christian preachers were stopped from handing out Bible extracts by police because they were in a Muslim area, it was claimed yesterday. They say they were told by a Muslim police community support officer that they could not preach there and that attempting to convert Muslims to Christianity was a hate crime. A Muslim Hate Crime is in Your Future. Two Christian preachers were stopped from handing out Bible tracts by police officers because they were in a Muslim neighborhood in England. According to British news reports, the preachers were told by a Muslim community support police officer in Birmingham that attempting to convert Muslims to Christianity is a hate crime. They were warned that if they came back and were beaten up, it would be their fault, not that of the thugs who beat them. Report: Non-Muslims Deserve to Be Punished. A report posted on Islam Watch, a site run by Muslims who oppose intolerant teachings and hatred for unbelievers, exposes a prominent Islamic cleric and lawyer who support extreme punishment for non-Muslims — including killing and rape. Either Allah isn't on their side, or jihadis are just plain useless. So it may well be that the fundamentalists have resorted to that brave and noble tactic of sending the mentally impaired or deeply troubled off to do their dirty work, lacking the resolve and commitment to do so themselves. Al-Qaeda, you may remember, strapped explosives to two women suffering from Down's syndrome and sent them to a market in downtown Baghdad where these walking bombs were detonated remotely, wiping them out together with 91 other people. Teens were trained as suicide bombers, Iraqi army says. The Iraqi military on Monday displayed a group of weeping teenagers who said they had been forced into training for suicide bombings by a Saudi militant in the last urban stronghold of "al-Qaida in Iraq." Four of the six boys were lined up for the media at police headquarters in the northern city of Mosul, where they said they had been training for a month to start suicide operations in early June. 84% of PA Arabs Support Massacre of Jews. The vast majority of PA Arabs support the terror attack on Jerusalem's Merkaz HaRav Yeshiva in which eight students were executed earlier this month, according to a new poll cited in the New York Times on Wednesday. According to the poll, 84 percent of those surveyed "stood behind" the shooting attack. In addition, 64% supported the firing of Kassam rockets at Negev towns. Morbid Celebrations: Palestinians revel in violence. The streets of Gaza were packed with thousands of joyous revelers on Thursday following the terrorist attack at a Jerusalem rabbinical seminary that killed eight people. In mosques throughout Gaza, according to news reports, many residents went to perform the prayers of thanksgiving. Armed men fired machine gun bursts into the air in celebration. Others passed out candies to random passersby on the streets. This is not the first time that large numbers of Palestinians have celebrated bloodshed. A World of Peace — A World Without Militant Islam. Imagine, dear friends, for a moment, the following scenario. Picture a Christian man walking into a Hindu school and opening fire on students as they were learning their holy books. Then imagine that, not only had he murdered eight young students and wounded more than 30, but just try to visualize groups of Christians breaking out in song and dance to celebrate this "brave victory." Let's call a spade a spade here, folks, before this thing comes to haunt all of us across Mother Earth. Yes, it is utterly impossible to do so in the civilized world. The War and the Home Front: Were there any doubt that the global war between the West and the Islamist extremist terrorist enemy rages on, the events of yesterday [3/7/2008] should put it to rest. A Palestinian Arab gunman from eastern Jerusalem shot and killed eight Jewish students — young men studying the Torah — in an exceptionally barbaric attack on an Israeli religious school. The massacre that was greeted with cheers and prayers of thanksgiving in Gaza. Islamists leave Israel no choice. The attack yesterday in Jerusalem on a Jewish religious school in which eight civilians died disclosed important political trends. It showed once more the depths of the divisions within the Palestinian leadership. The Palestinian Authority, under its President Mahmoud Abbas, condemned the attack. On the other hand, Hamas, the Palestinian leadership in the Gaza Strip, praised the attack and Gazan civilians danced in the streets with joy. Palestinian Militants Hail Massacre at Jerusalem Seminary. Hamas Islamists have claimed responsibility for a Jerusalem shooting attack at a Jewish religious school that killed eight people, Reuters reports. Hamas militants cheered over the deadly shooting as thousands of Palestinians took to the streets of Gaza to celebrate Thursday [3/6/2008] amid recent armed conflicts in the Hamas-controlled strip. Islam: Not Just Another Religion. This campaign season, presidential candidates seem intent on battling each other with a war of words over universal healthcare, tax reform, immigration, the war in Iraq, the economy and Biblical literalism. Yet, they have spent few words on and have literally ignored the greatest threat to America and Western civilization since the Cold War: the global jihad. Afghan Radio Station Attacked for Being Un-Islamic; 2 Poppy Police Killed. Arsonists set fire Friday to a radio station near Kabul accused of being un-Islamic, and two poppy eradication policemen were killed in Afghanistan's southwest, officials said.

Al Qaeda's Dentist: London dentist Sohail Qureshi told the police he was just off to celebrate the Muslim festival of Eid with his family in Pakistan. But instead of dental floss and fluoride, Qureshi, 30, tried to board a plane at Heathrow Airport with $18,000 in cash, a night vision scope, two metal batons, terror handbooks, extremist material, military information on CDs and medical supplies. Worshippers of Death: Zahra Maladan is an educated woman who edits a women's magazine in Lebanon. She is also a mother, who undoubtedly loves her son. She has ambitions for him, but they are different from those of most mothers in the West. She wants her son to become a suicide bomber. Man Butchers 15-Month-Old Nephew in Jeddah Supermarket. Early morning shoppers at a supermarket in Jeddah were left reeling yesterday [3/2/2008], with some falling unconscious, after a well-built Syrian man clinched a knife and decapitated his 15-month-old nephew in front of his mother in the store's fruit and vegetable section. Imam's daughter in hiding after her conversion to Christianity sparked death threats. The daughter of a British imam is living under police protection after receiving death threats from her father for converting to Christianity. The 31-year-old, whose father is the leader of a mosque in Lancashire, has moved house an astonishing 45 times after relatives pledged to hunt her down and kill her. Kids used as decoys in car bomb, U.S. says.

Six Islamic militants were sentenced to up to 19 years in prison Monday [12/3/2007] for terrorist acts in eastern Indonesia that include beheading three Christian schoolgirls and shooting to death a priest. Children who died in strike on madrassa were shields, say coalition. Seven children were killed in an airstrike on a religious school in eastern Afghanistan, the US-led coalition said yesterday. It said that the building was believed to house al-Qaeda fighters and accused the terrorists of using children as human shields. Jihad this! I no longer accept that we are only at war with Islamic fascists or Islamic fundamentalists or whatever the heck we're calling them this week. I believe that we in the West are at war with Islam, period. I have heard any number of politicians, up to and including President Bush, claim, contrary to all reason and evidence, that Islam is a religion of peace. If you buy that load of malarkey, I've got a Brooklyn mosque I'd like to sell you. There is no defence against these children of death. We are deep inside intelligence headquarters in Kabul. On the faded sofa opposite is an extraordinary new weapon — a 17-year-old Pakistani peasant boy called Farman Ullah. He is the world's first remotely detonated human bomb. Palestinian Authority Cartoon Prays That Allah Will Kill Americans. A cartoon published Tuesday [10/9/2007] in an official Palestinian Authority newspaper shows a Muslim man calling on Allah to kill Americans, said a group that monitors Palestinian media. Palestinian Media Watch, an independent research group, said the cartoon shows the Muslim man kneeling before a U.S. fighter jet. His prayers are enclosed in four missiles aimed at the American plane. The dangers of tolerance. In the same week Farzana Hassan was threatened with death, Quebec's chief electoral officer said Muslim women who wear the niqab would not have to show their faces to confirm their identities at the ballot box. So, what do those two disparate events have in common? Hassan sees such "concessions" to fundamentalist factions of Islam as fuel that emboldens those who endanger her life, her freedom and that of other women. The religion of peace — at gunpoint. You need a scorecard to keep up with all the region's disaffected. Apparently, when three or more angry Muslims gather in a garage, a new jihadist group is born. What's perfectly clear is that video is the new weapon of mass destruction. A billion people manipulated into religious frenzy is a formidable force. It is also clear that the West's continued existence — at least from the perspective of Islamist militants — depends upon our willingness to bow to Islam. Islamic Prejudice: Christians. Traditional Islamic law mandates the death penalty for Muslims who leave Islam, in accordance with Muhammad's command: "Whoever changed his Islamic religion, then kill him." This is still the position of all the schools of Islamic jurisprudence, although there is some disagreement over whether the law applies only to men, or to women also. Saudi Squander: Where does all the money go? Of the more than 1,200 mosques in America, more than 80-percent were built with Saudi money, according to author RezaF. Safa (Inside Islam). In fact, Safa writes that the Saudis have spent "$87 billion since 1973 to spread Islam throughout the United States and the Western hemisphere." Elsewhere in the world, it is believed that Saudi Arabia finances some 85 percent of the world's mosques, where the vitriolic and violent Wahabbist interpretation of Islam is taught. It is indisputable that the current hatred of the United States and the ideology of Islamist violence are reinforced via these mosques. In Search Of The "Peace-Loving Muslims" — Again. What is it with the combination of being a medical doctor and a "Muslim? That's a very legitimate question to ask, in light of a certain event that unfolded at the end of last week in Virginia. Dr. Esam Omeish, who in addition to being an "M.D." was, up until last Thursday, a member of the Virginia State Commission on Immigration. He also happens to be president of the Muslim American Society. Three Bible publishers killed. Attackers on Wednesday [4/18/2007] slit the throats of three people in a Turkish publishing house that printed Bibles, the latest attack on minorities in mainly Muslim Turkey, said officials. Three dead in attack on Turk Christian publisher. Attackers on Wednesday slit the throats of three people in a Turkish publishing house which printed bibles, security officials said, the latest attack on minorities in mainly Muslim Turkey. NTV said a fourth person had died in hospital, but the report could not be confirmed. Turkey Detains 5 In Bible Shootings. Police detained five more people Thursday in connection with an attack on a Christian publishing house that killed three employees, doubling the number of suspects in custody, a Turkish official said. One group of suspects detained in the slayings Wednesday at a publishing house that distributes Bibles told investigators they carried out the killings to protect Islam, a Turkish newspaper reported. Stoned to death for loving the wrong boy. A 17-year-old girl has been stoned to death in Iraq because she loved a teenage boy of the wrong religion. Tied up, blindfolded, waiting to die: the truth about the hostages' ordeal. Blindfolded and lined up against a concrete wall with their hands tied behind their backs, the British marines and sailors heard the sound of weapons being cocked. One of them dropped to the floor screaming, "They are going to execute us." Another could be heard throwing up. Fighting back was simply not an option'. The British captives held by Iranian Revolutionary Guardsmen described yesterday how they were bound, blindfolded and lined up against a wall while weapons were cocked behind them. Defending themselves against suggestions that they surrendered too readily and were too eager to cooperate with their captors, they said that they had feared the worst and that fighting back was simply not an option. Mixed signals: Although his critics accused the president of misrepresentation, it was they who engaged in such a practice. For example, CAIR falsely charged he had "equated the religion of peace [Islam] with the ugliness of fascism." In fact, Mr. Bush did something altogether different — and laudable: He made clear that those who use Islam to justify and provide political cover for their totalitarian aggression are at odds not only with America but with Islam, itself. Such dangerous ideologues cannot be appeased. They must be destroyed. 'Islamofascism': The word has … caught on, not least because it provides a convenient way of announcing that you are not against Islam but only against its perversion by the terrorists. But this prompts the question whether terrorism is really as alien to Islam as we should all like to believe. The gap between Islam and peace. The experts tell us militant Islamic fundamentalists, or "Islamists," represent a narrow, if murderous, fringe. They number no more than 10, maybe 15, percent of all Muslims. That estimate works out to somewhere between 100 million and 150 million people. Which is a lot of murderous fringe. The Editor says... The other 85 percent are keeping a low profile for now, but they'll gladly join the winning team if Islamism gains momentum. Muslim pupils kill teacher. Muslim pupils at a secondary school in northeastern Nigeria beat a teacher to death today after accusing her of desecrating the Koran. Oluwatoyin Olusase, a Christian, was adjudicating an Islamic Religious Knowledge exam at the school in Gombe state when the incident occurred. Man gets 30 years for ripping out wife's eyes. A man who ripped out his wife's eyes in a fit of rage was sentenced by a French court to 30 years behind bars on Tuesday. Mohamed Hadfi, 31, tore out his 23-year-old wife Samira Bari's eyes following a heated argument in their apartment in the southern French city of Nimes in July 2003 after she refused to have sex with him. World War III. The American people and free people everywhere must come to grips with the fact that radical Islamists and the countries that back them are already engaged in a global war to defeat us. The attacks against the U.S. and other nations are all connected to one source … radical Islamists intent on initiating a new Golden Age of Islam. Which leads to my second point, that it is imperative that the American people and especially our leaders, understand that Islam is not a religion of peace. We should not tolerate the preachers of jihad. It is a war fought with planes crashed into buildings or blown up in mid-air, roadside bombs, kidnappings, beheadings and other unspeakable instruments of terror. It is decentralised but global in scope, from madrassas in Pakistan, to mosques in London, to "charities" in America, to banks and boardrooms in the Middle East. It is a war with a cultural and ideological component that is lavishly financed by easy oil money from states like Saudi Arabia that we have long (and foolishly) regarded as "moderates" and "friends". The rise of the caliphate. Thanks to a steady flow of petro-dollars, today's leaders of "the religion of peace" — both Sunni and Shia — have been able to launch and sustain well-financed, extremely aggressive campaigns to advance their beliefs. Sheiks, imams, mullahs and ayatollahs routinely expound the virtues of "martyrdom" and vicious treatment for Christians and Jews. The "common ground" for all Islamic radicals is hatred of the United States and Israel. Terrorism threat is here to stay. A broad and deep coalition of Islamic extremists is determined to murder very large numbers of Americans, Westerners, Christians, Jews and — let us not forget — insufficiently committed Muslims. … Those whom Bush now calls Islamic fascists have been killing Americans for decades. Al-Qaeda declared war on America when Bush was still in Texas. Why Islam is the new Marx. The 20th century saw the demise of communism, despite its attraction to millions of people who felt poor or downtrodden. It was exposed as a totalitarian system that stifled the aspirations of man. But its stain is spreading within the casing of Islamic fundamentalism. Beyond wishful thinking about Islam. Now that three years and three months have passed since nearly 3,000 died on a day that will live in infamy, the hills are alive with the sound of positive musings about Islam. Publisher's Weekly has reported that many new books on the religion are hitting the stores, with most assuring readers that Islam is a religion of peace. Islamofascism — an enemy like no other. "If other people in al Qaeda are really as sadistic as this guy seems to be, then we're really in for a long and awful war." National Public Radio's Daniel Schorr made this comment about the anti-American courtroom tirade of Zacarias Moussaoui, the so-called 20th hijacker. Yes, Mr. Schorr, the Islamofascists — the ones who want us dead — are, indeed, that "sadistic." This shows that a lot of people, who should know better, still don't get it. When Muslims kill Muslims: When it comes to maiming and killing, the Arab-Muslim world holds a place of prominence. In particular, the ancient land between two rivers, now Iraq, has proven to be greatly fertile as killing fields. Beauty pageants can be murder: Inasmuch as liberals are demanding that Americans ritualistically proclaim, "Islam is a religion of peace," Muslims might do their part by not killing people all the time. Recently, the Religion of Peace suffered a PR setback when Muslims in Nigeria welcomed the Miss World beauty pageant by slaughtering Christians in the street and burning churches to the ground. At last count, more than 200 people were dead, hundreds more were injured and thousands were left without homes. The battle over Islam: Islam now stands at a crossroads. And the burden rests on the majority who call Islam a "religion of peace" to show us what they mean. By the Word or by the Sword: President has gone out of his way to assure Americans that they have nothing to fear from the religion of Islam. "These acts of violence against innocents," declared President Bush, "violate the fundamental tenets of the Islamic faith." Is the President right? Is Islam fundamentally a peaceful religion? Why not say it bluntly? Islam is an aggressive, violent political ideology. It may be that Islam in its true form is as gentle as a lamb. But in the real world, it is an aggressive, violent political ideology. It may also be that a majority of U.S. Muslims object to the jihad being waged against infidel Christians, Jews, Hindus, atheists, agnostics and democrats of all denominations. But if so, they are keeping it to themselves. Islam is a religion of WHAT?. Standing on Atlantic Avenue in Brooklyn, on the afternoon of September 11, 2001, … the residents of the neighborhood danced in the streets, laughing, shouting to each other, shaking hands. These people were not what one would suppose to be fanatical or militant Muslims. … They were American citizens however, who were expressing their judgment — joy at the events of that horrible day that forever changed our world and America's place in that world. They were also the followers of Islam: religion of oppression, discrimination, violence, terror, war, superstition, intolerance and prejudice. What you need to know about the 'religion of peace'. There are millions of peaceful Muslims … but the fact is that radical Muslims are using core texts of Islam that are deeply rooted in Islamic theology, tradition, history and law to justify their actions, and those radical Muslims are able to recruit and motivate terrorists around the world by appealing to these core Islamic texts. What you need to know about the 'religion of peace', Part II. A recent poll in the Palestinian Authority indicated that 71 percent [of Muslims] approved of suicide attacks against civilians in Israel. Noncombatants are not to be targeted … but if they are considered to be aiding in the war effort, then they can legitimately be fought. This is the justification that Osama bin Laden used for 9/11, and the Palestinians use for suicide bombing attacks in Israel. Religion Of Peace? In the wake of the cartoon jihad and mosque-on-mosque violence in Iraq, most Americans now think Islam has more violent believers than any other faith. Yet many still view it as a "peaceful religion." Psychologists might call this cognitive dissonance — a state of mind where rational people essentially lie to themselves. But in this case, it's understandable. In our politically correct culture, criticizing any religion, even one that plots our destruction, is still taboo. And no one wants to suggest the terrorists are driven by their holy text. Dear Muslims: What is It that You Don't Understand? We, the non-Muslims — the infidels, heathens, unbelievers, apostates, enemies of Allah, najis (soiled), as you prefer to call us — would like to know what is it that you don't understand and what is it that makes you behave so badly toward us? You blame us for your problems and believe if we embrace Islam and help establish the Islamic ummah, the earth would be cleansed of us, transformed to paradise, and all your problems disappear? What A Muslim Really Wants: The most comprehensive survey of attitudes toward terrorism in the Islamic world (over 9,000 respondents in nine Muslim countries were polled by Gallup in 2002) showed entrenched anti-Americanism, seething rage and a total disconnect from reality. Only 19% of those surveyed believed the 9/11 hijackers were Arabs. Evil across our planet: More than 4,000 people have died as Islamic terrorism has spread across the world over the last decade. Islam, a Religion of Peace — or of Violence? Instantly after the atrocities of 9/11 our president George Bush sought out the head imam in Washington. He took the podium with him to proclaim, and to ensure one and all, that "Islam is a religion of peace." … Our president is grievously mistaken. Islam is not a religion of peace, but a religion of violence. Five questions non-Muslims would like answered. [Question #4] Why are so many atrocities committed and threatened by Muslims in the name of Islam? Young girls in Indonesia were recently beheaded by Muslim murderers. Last year, Muslims — in the name of Islam — murdered hundreds of schoolchildren in Russia. While reciting Muslim prayers, Islamic terrorists take foreigners working to make Iraq free and slaughter them. Muslim daughters are murdered by their own families in the thousands in "honor killings." And the Muslim government in Iran has publicly called for the extermination of Israel. What right have Muslims to claim moral superiority? The West is not free from sin. But what sets this type of murder apart is that the perpetrators believe that what they are doing is morally justified. In another (dis)honour killing in 2001, Faqir Mohammed stabbed his daughter 20 times in the head and stomach. He told police: "According to the law it was not right, but according to religion it was right." Hawking hell. As T. S. Eliot once observed, "No culture can appear or develop except in relation to a religion." And fundamentalist Islam remains the creed of Afghanistan. The Taliban was not a foreign pathogen, but a malignancy naturally arising from within that state. 'Peaceful' PA official praises suicide bombers. Speech in Arabic language belies his pronouncements in English. Hamas defends suicide blast. Monday's suicide bombing in Tel Aviv [4/17/2006], which killed seven people, was a part of the Palestinian right to self-defence, a spokesperson for the ruling Hamas party said in Gaza. Islamic terrorists shot aid couple as they watched TV. A husband and wife who dedicated their lives to helping African children were murdered in cold blood by Islamic terrorists, an inquest heard yesterday. Dick and Enid Eyeington were watching television at their home in Somaliland when a terrorist linked to al-Qaeda shot them. The couple were considered "infidels" by their attackers, who wrongly believed that they were trying to convert Africans to Christianity. A religion of peace? Really? Western Muslims' Racist Rape Spree. In Australia, Norway, Sweden and other Western nations, there is a distinct race-based crime in motion being ignored by the diversity police: Islamic men are raping Western women for ethnic reasons. We know this because the rapists have openly declared their sectarian motivations. Raped for reading the Bible. An Iraqi man allegedly raped a Muslim woman as "punishment" for reading the Bible, saying, "let your Jesus help you", a court [in Australia] heard yesterday. Saudi Marriage 'Expert' Advices Men In the 'Right Way' to Beat Their Wives. Move over, Dr. Phil, there's a new relationship expert in town. He's Saudi author and cleric, "Dr." Muhammad Al-'Arifi, who in a remarkable segment broadcast on Saudi and Kuwaiti television in September, counseled young Muslim men on how to treat their wives. Cleric 'predicted bombings'. Television footage was screened on Friday of radical Muslim cleric Omar Bakri Mohammed apparently predicting terrorists would strike on the British mainland several months before the July 7 London bombings. … Bakri famously praised the September 11 hijackers as "magnificent". He then triggered further outrage after the July 7 bombings when he said he would never tip off police if he knew a Muslim was about to carry out an attack. Islam: A religion of peace? Canada faces a unique dilemma because the doctrine of multiculturalism is seen as intrinsic to our national identity. The recent disruption of an alleged homegrown Islamist terror plot has caused many Canadians to ask: How can multiculturalism — which preaches tolerance above all else — be squared with a militant, intolerant creed that demonizes non-believers? Islam Is not a Religion of Peace. The U. S. has many predominantly Muslim allies. We are largely dependent on Arab oil. Much of the press and public have bought into the multiculturalist nonsense that the Clinton and Bush Administrations have helped to instill. Probably the less said the better, but we should not determine our foreign policy and strategy in the Mideast on the utterly false and laughable proposition that Islam is a religion of peace and tolerance. Killers Defy the Koran. It's time to stop calling the global terrorists Islamic fundamentalists. The slaughter of the Russian children in Beslan has absolutely nothing to do with Islam. If the Islamic community does not rise up en masse against the fanatics who dare to use the name of Allah while committing these atrocities, they need to stop insisting Islam is a religion of peace. Iran's new president promotes suicide squads. In the second TV appearance since his election victory, Iranian President-elect Mahmoud Ahmadi-Nejad spoke in praise of "the art of martyrdom" as volunteers continued to mobilize for suicide squads aimed at U.S., British and Israeli forces. Religious hatred, Saudi-style. Before Sept. 11, 2001, the notion that literature in mosques could be dangerous might have struck some as alarmist. But of the 19 terrorist-hijackers that day, 15 were Saudi, and all of them were steeped in the relentless hostility to "infidels" that the Saudi publications inculcate. For some, the mosques were a crucial resource. A religion of peace? Al-Qaida-related group attacks pastor. A Muslim extremist group tied to al-Qaida set fire to the house of a well-known pastor in Pakistan who had been warned to "repent" and return to Islam. Fighting Radical Islam: Where is the worldwide condemnation of these latest killings by the political and religious leaders of Muslim countries? Where are the U.N. resolutions sponsored by France and Germany condemning what occurred? Terrorism: "Everything To Do With Islam," Says Author: Robert Spencer, author of Islam Unveiled and an adjunct fellow at the conservative think tank Free Congress Foundation, believes Islam's theological foundation is creating many of today's terrorists and would-be terrorists. Spencer's book takes a critical look at the religion of Islam, its holy book, The Koran, its prophet Muhammad and concludes that the religion is producing violent behavior in a significant numbers of its adherents. Khilafah: The Move Toward A One-World Islamic Government. Exactly what it is that Islamists want? They're murdering innocent people around the world, disrupting commerce with their attacks on ships and businesses, attacking churches and temples, and broadcasting threats to the world almost daily. Iran is the Root of Islamic Terrorism. Destroying its theocracy would be a major victory in the war on terrorists. Islam: a religion of peace? A "religion of peace," says President Bush about Islam. But investigative journalist Robert Spencer, in his new book "Onward Muslim Soldiers: How Jihad Still Threatens America and the West," argues that what we call "Islamic extremism" stems from a straightforward reading of the Koran and interpretative Islamic texts. The Willingness To Kill Or Be Killed In The Name Of A Peaceful And Caring Allah! Terrorists wage war on the defenseless civilian population … and these demented maniacs specifically target women and children. Slouching Toward "2084". The Dutch novelist Margriet de Moor, writing in a German newspaper, wants to know whether anyone is at work on a novel titled "2084." … Ms. de Moor describes a visit to a Dutch shelter for battered women, where typically 80 percent of the women are Muslims. Sheik says "It's OK to kill non-Muslims": "If a kafir person (non-believer) goes in a Muslim country, he is like a cow," explains Sheik Abu Hamza. "Anybody can take him. That is the Islamic law." Update: It's in the Book: Sheik Abu Hamza claims that he cannot be accused of inciting violence because he is a cleric who only preaches Muslim law. "I say the reality that's in the Muslim books anyway. Whether I say it or not, it's in the books." Day of the Locusts: Today, leaders and diplomats are claiming, "Islam is a religion of peace." But everything in Islam's history cries out against this. Most wars taking place right now are between Moslems and some other group or nation. The truth is, Islam was born in violence, and it has been a religion of the sword ever since. Mullahs and ayatollahs enforce Islam's laws by flogging people and by chopping off their fingers, limbs or heads. Boys forced into Muslim flogging ritual. A devout Muslim encouraged two teenage boys to flog themselves until their backs were covered in bloody cuts, a jury was told yesterday. Syed Mustafa Zaidi, 44, a Shia Muslim, was celebrating the traditional Ashura festival, a ritual act of lamentation commemorating the slaughter of the Prophet Muhammad's grandson, Husayn, and his followers in the 14th century. Islamists – not who they say they are: Those Moslems variously known as fundamentalists or Islamists often appear to outsiders to be the most authentic adherents of their faith. They refer constantly to God and conspicuously pray in public. Men sport full beards and women wear veils. They urge Moslem solidarity and demonstrate a suspicion of non-Moslems. A closer look, however, finds that Islamists are hardly model Moslems. Religion of peace kills 200 in Nigeria: Hundreds of Muslim youths have gone on the rampage in Nigeria's capital, Abuja, following Friday prayers. The BBC's Haruna Bahago in Abuja says people armed with sticks, daggers and knives set fire to vehicles and attacked anyone they suspected of being Christian. Declare War on Wahhabism: It was not by accident that 15 of the 19 Sept. 11 murders were Wahhabi from Saudi Arabia. Or that the Taliban was the ideal form of Wahhabite government. Or that bin Laden himself is a Wahhabite Saudi. Wahhabism, masquerading as a religion, has a network of Mosques and schools worldwide which are poisoning the young and sowing hatred. Our own PC military is seeking additional Wahhabite clergy. Wahhabite clergy teach in our prisons. The Altar of Death Worship: "We believe our sons go to heaven when they are martyred. When Jewish sons die, they go to hell." Are All Muslims Terrorists? Recently I decided to look further into the Muslim religion. So I went straight to the Koran: the core of Islam. What I have found is absolutely shocking! The Culture of Martyrdom: How suicide bombing became not just a means but an end. Looking Evil in the Face: Danny Pearl was murdered not for any crime or other misdeed he might have committed. He was murdered just because he was an American, a Jew and a reporter. The Toleration of Evil: It is time the world recognizes Palestinian terrorism as a form, indeed the heir, of Nazism. It is time Israel demanded that the toleration of such evil no longer be accepted by civilized societies. It is time for human garbage such as Robert Mugabe, Saddam Hussein and Yasser Arafat be disposed of along with Osama bin Laden. Peace, prosperity and civilization itself can be achieved only by the refusal to tolerate the evil such men embody. "Relentlessly and Thoroughly": The only way to respond. Islam is an imperialist religion, more so than Christianity has ever been, and in contrast to Judaism. The Koran insists that nations, however mighty, must be fought "until they embrace Islam." JIHAD: Unmasking America's new enemy Islamism is a brutal, coercive utopian movement — a politicized and virulent interpretation and implementation of Islam — bent on nothing less than The Battle Over Islam: Oh, certainly, Arab leaders and others issued statements condemning the September 11 attacks, but take a look at the fine print. Other interesting web sites: Jihad Watch. Because the West is facing a concerted effort by radical Muslims, most of whom are ignored by the Western media, to destroy the West and bring it forcibly into the Islamic world. That effort goes under the general rubric of jihad. Jihad Watch is dedicated to bringing public attention to the role that jihad theology and ideology plays in the modern world, and to correcting popular misconceptions about the role of jihad and religion in modern-day conflicts. We hope to alert people of good will to the true nature of the present global conflict that radical Islam is waging against the rest of us.  Islam: The Religion of Peace -- and Terror.
