Hmm … Stinger it may appear that indeed the reporter Tim Marshal writing the eye-witness article entitled, “Islamophobia. Ignorance Or Propaganda?” is telling the truth about the 450 Muslim child brides not being brides but nieces and/or sisters to prospective grooms. Mr. Marshal even admits that the Hamas organization is a terrorist – murdering organization. Then Mr. Marshal moves on to say that the Muslims of Gaza(stan) are just regular people like you and me:
Sure Hamas have cold blooded killers among them, sure they support the murder of children in Israel, sure they are cracking down on women's rights, but many of their supporters are just ordinary people. And they need a break.
They what!? “Need a break”!
The British rag Guardian reported in February 2009 that Hamas went on a rampage even among its own people murder Muslims who were simply thought to have collaborators with Israel or were critical of Hamas. So Hamas is not just bloodthirsty killers of Israeli Jews and against women’s rights but the Islamic terrorist organization utilizes murder of its own to keep the “ordinary people” under control.
There seems to be a discrepancy in reporting among MSM outlets. In late January 2009 a Wall Street Journal article claims the “ordinary people” were behind Hamas more than ever because of the Israeli invasion caused by being fed up with Hamas missiles being sent to Israeli cities.
I know it sounds unrelated to the “450 child bride” accusation of Gaza Muslims; however the point is the “ordinary people” of Gaza are indeed supporters of Hamas. This means the “ordinary people” subscribe to the same form of Islam that Hamas promotes. THAT is not so ordinary.
What kind of Islam does Hamas and their supporters follow?
Here is a glimpse of Hamas’ Islam as quoted from Hamas overall leader Khaled Mashal:
We say to this West... By Allah, you will be defeated. You will be defeated in Palestine, and your defeat there has already begun. True, it is Israel that is being defeated there, but when Israel is defeated, its path is defeated, those who call to support it are defeated, and the cowards who hide behind it and support it are defeated. Israel will be defeated, and so will whoever supported or supports it.
Tomorrow, our nation will sit on the throne of the world. This is not a figment of the imagination, but a fact.
They do not understand the Arab or Muslim mentality, which rejects the foreigner.
The stated goal of the murdering Islamic thugs controlling little Gaza Strip is the destruction of Israel, world domination and a global Caliphate.
This is the traditional path as interpreted by Conservative-Salafist-Wahabi Muslims that believe the Quran as delivered by Mohammed to be the exact word of Allah and the reliable Hadith and Sunnah as factual. In the case of the “450 brides” it is easy to surmise the child-girls walking with the 450 grooms were indeed brides and not just nieces and sisters. Old Mohammed married his favorite wife when she was 6 (or 7) and consummated that marriage when the favorite wife was NINE.
This is why the link to the story that I used to the Last Crusade utilizes Mohammed’s pedophilia to assume the little girls were brides. Is the story inaccurate due to the mistrust of Islam’s concept of dawa culminating in jihad? If we take Tim Marshall’s word for it then yes, the “450 bride” story is inaccurate. On the other hand because of the principles of Islam the story DEFINITELY was not off base.

Jihad Denial Syndrome is still rampant among the MSM. Ben’s Blog does an awesome job in refuting the syndrome.

Islam Inspired Nidal Hasan
Thursday Islam turned a man who says he is a Muslim first and an American second into a person who intended to be a homicidal-suicide killer. He did not succeed with suicide in the Islamic cowardly style however. After killing 13 Americans and sending over 20 to the hospital with bullets in their bodies a lady cop ended the Muslim’s reign of homicidal evil. Make no mistake about it; Major Nidal Malik Hasan very much intended to kill kafir American soldiers in the name of Mohammed’s Allah.
Believe it or not I don’t have a problem with the concept of Muslim first and American second. I feel the same way about Christianity.
As a Christian first I am told to honor the King (national authority) and all those in authority in order to live a peaceable life. Add to this the Christian concept of the Golden Rule: Do to others as you have them do to you. Or perhaps even love your neighbor. Or again do not render evil for evil. Do Christians now and in the past adhere to these demands of faith?
No, they do not or have not. Muslims, Jews, Secular Humanists and atheists are quick to point out the travesties of history perpetrated in the name of Christianity and/or Jesus Christ. Western Christians spent years of military movements toward the Holy Land after being fed up with Islamic brutal conquest, raids and humiliation of Christians in the grasp of Muslim control. Those military movements have become known in history as the Crusades. Crusaders unfortunately took a Just War cause and exacted violence and massacres of fellow Christians, Jews and Muslims along the way. This breaking of at least the “do not render evil for evil” Christian principle should not have exacted evil for Muslim hatred, slavery, sex-slavery, Christian humiliation of those choosing to live the life of paying the jizya tax for so-called Muslim protection to allow the practice the Christian faith.
There are a host of other atrocities executed in the name of Christianity. The next in the sphere of atrocity after the Crusades is the Inquisition in which Protestants, Jews, Muslims were tortured to death or convert to Christianity (Roman Catholic style). The Inquisition went after people suspected of practicing the dark arts such as witchcraft (which was more the case of hysteria of Roman Church greed). The Protestants are not off the hook either. Under the inspiration of otherwise great Christians (e.g. Martin Luther) Jews suffered horrendously. I am sure I have made my point even though there are more instances of acts of violence or massacre that can be dug up to accuse Christianity as being equally guilty of violence as Islam.
Yet is Islam or are Muslims a victim or possibly just simply having a comparable history similar to Christian abuses contrary to Scripture? As I said earlier acts of violence and atrocity exacted in the name of Christianity was absolutely contrary to the principles of Christianity.
Islam on the other hand exacted atrocities, violence, genocide and often the choice between converting to Islam, the humiliation of dhimmitude or death as traditional course of action as prescribed by Muslim founder Mohammed and the traditions of the Hadith and Sira (or is it Sunnah? I haven’t gotten two down yet.).
There is no Golden Rule in Islam especially toward a non-Muslim enemy or person (aka kafir).
Here are some Quranic Suras that demonstrate that Islam is NOT a religion of peace. The Suras are taken from an article written by Muslim Dr. Sami Alrabaa:
O you who believe! do not take the Jews and the Christians for friends; they are friends of each other; and whoever amongst you takes them for a friend, then surely he is one of them; surely Allah does not guide the unjust people. (Sura 5, verse 51)
And the Jews say: Uzair is the son of Allah; and the Christians say: The Messiah is the son of Allah; these are the words of their mouths; they imitate the saying of those who disbelieved before; may Allah DESTROY them; how they are turned away! (Sura 9, verse 30)
And the Jews will not be pleased with you, nor the Christians until you follow their religion. Say: Surely Allah's guidance, that is the (true) guidance. And if you follow their desires after the knowledge that has come to you, you shall have no guardian from Allah, nor any helper. (Sura 2, verse 120)
And KILL them (the unbelievers) wherever you find them, and drive them out from whence they drove you out, and persecution is severer than slaughter, and do not fight with them at the Sacred Mosque until they fight with you in it, but if they do fight you, then slay them; such is the recompense of the unbelievers. (Sura 2, verse 191)
They desire that you should disbelieve as they have disbelieved, so that you might be (all) alike; therefore take not from among them (the unbelievers) friends until they flee (their homes) in Allah's way; but if they turn back, then seize them and KILL them wherever you find them, and take not from among them a friend or a helper. (Sura 4, verse 89)
At this point a Muslim or Muslim Apologists think they have a great point to claim the Bible has the same enjoinders to kill non-Jews to make room for the Chosen People to receive the Land prepared by God. (Of course a Muslim would not say “Chosen People” or “God”). Let me point out that the order of God to kill everything in the Promised Land was based on the inhabitants being at the point of no-return in their moral arena. This people disowned the Creator in favor for false gods, committed sex sins (homosexuality and temple prostitution in their various polytheistic beliefs), infanticide of babies either unwanted or in human sacrifice and you get the idea.
Here is another point about the Old Testament Jews: the order to kill everything was not perpetual. Indeed it became obvious the Jews would not complete their God-ordained mission and time ran out on the task. It became the beginning of the constant error of forsaking God’s Law in favor of the same acts of the people they were to eliminate. Thus when the Jews of the Northern Kingdom of Israel followed by the Southern Kingdom of Judah were to the point of no-return, God removed them from the control of the Promised Land. Hence history has the Assyrian diaspora and the Babylonian diaspora (aka Babylonian Captivity). Upon a return to piety in foreign lands the Hand of God began repatriating Jews back to their Promised Land.
On the other hand Muslim holy writings have a perpetual command to kill the infidel (kafir) until they become Muslim. This command indeed stretches to the Quranic “People of the Book” (i.e. Jews and Christians). It is vague when the full throttle of the inclusion of convert or die for the “People of the Book” takes place; however it is a certainty that radical Islam acts as if this day is the age of extermination.
Another favorite rejoinder by Muslims and Muslim Apologists is this Quranic Sura:
“There is no compulsion in religion” (Quran Sura 2 verse 256).
In light of the Quranic verses above this is quite a deceptive ploy utilized by Muslim Apologists. The verse appears to promote the paradigm of tolerance but further reading of the Quran, Hadith or Sira would demonstrate there no compulsion in the sense of choice for the People of the Book. The non-Muslim is not viewed as being compelled when given the choice of convert, become a second class humiliated dhimmi or die. There is no compulsion when “choice” is involved is there?
There is also a difference between Christianity and Islam in points of view. Via Christianity the West has developed a unitary sense of logic. For example if something is valid then its opposite is invalid. If something is true then the opposite is false. If what goes up must come down then one does not jump off a tall building without some kind mechanical device that overrides the simple law of gravity.
Islamic logic is NOT the same. Islam is all about duality. This duality means two opposites can be the same under various man-molded ethics. This duality comes strait from the Quran.
For instance the “There is no compulsion in religion” Sura
is an attributed to Mohammed during his Mecca
and pre-flight to Medina
days. Mohammed attempted the Christian path of persuasion to gain converts
until he got the boot
from the Arab polytheists (a few Christians and Jews) from Mecca. Mo developed a more martial concept of
winning forcing converts in Medina
where the Jewish Arabs would not hear that Mohammed was one of the long line of
Prophets as well as being the last and final prophet which heard from God
Almighty. Yet the Jews and polytheists of Medina
did not desire early on to harm Mo as long as he stuck to his Mecca message.
Mo gained more adherents in Medina who he began to train militarily. As Mo became stronger the Jewish Arabs became a bit more resistant to the Muslim message. This all led to the slaughter of Medina Jews and the eventual conquest of Mecca. The die had been cast on how to spread Islam to the world. Hence Muslim violence and conquest is the continuation rather than the contrary of Muslim holy writings.
It is obvious that Christian atrocity is contrary to Christian principles and Muslim atrocities are ordained by Muslim principles. Thus we have one Nidal Malik Hasan going on an Islamic inspired killing spree.

Ben of Ben’s Blog operates several blogs as many of us bloggers do including me. Many such blogs operate under a pseudonym to avoid be a target in their personal life. I suspect Ben may be a pseudonym. I mention this out of clarification rather than as an exposé.
Ben has written a post which demonstrates that organized Islamic terrorism is still trying to make hits on American soil. Home grown Islamic terrorism comparable to Major Nidal Hasan’s killing spree on American soil might be the result of an individual snapping at the perceived insult to Islam; however organized efforts representing foreign radical Muslims continues as well.
Ben’s Blog writes about such an occasion.

Have you heard or read from a Muslim, a Muslim apologist or a kafir who has befriended a Muslim a statement similar to this:
“Islam is no different than Christianity or Judaism. They both have bloodshed – one in the Quran and the other in the Bible. Muslims worship the same god as Christians and Jews.”
I have heard this often from friends and family who question my criticism of Islam (Mohammedanism is a better word) as being hate-speech or racism.
Bill Warner of Political Islam has posted the best rebuttal to the accusation my blog(s) are full of hatred toward Islam and Muslims.

What happened at Fort Hood yesterday is a demonstration of the influence of Mohammed’s Islam on an individual. Regardless of what the Politically Correct Mainstream Media (MSM), the typical Leftist or the majority of so-called non-violent Muslims will you; Mohammed’s religion was created on the back of theo-political conquest as well as harshly securing the conquest by humiliating or killing the conquered.
The peace found in Islam is by those who submit to the theo-political dogma of Islam as inspired by Mohammed (its author), the Quran (the so-called words of Allah as delivered by Mo), the Hadith, Sunnah and various other Islamic commentary writings.
The so-called peace is submerged by the violence called for when Islam is offended either from within (Muslims) or outside (kafir).
As more and more info becomes available about Muslim U.S. Army psychiatrist Major Nidal Hasan, we will become aware that Islam played a huge part in his decision to go on a bloodthirsty psycho-spree.
A blog on the New York Times has been keeping track with updates at Fort Hood and Nidal Hasan. I am going repost the updates in reverse order up to the time of this writing. I have know idea when the updates will discontinue however I am certain a few more will arrive at the blog so go there to get caught up or possibly a location not quite as politically correct as the New York Times.

Islamic honor killings in America are on the rise yet the obsessively politically correct MSM refuses to expose this as a problem in America. Usually it is male Muslims (Fathers, brothers or male relatives) that perpetuate the heinous deaths of honor killing.
I just read of a crime in America in which the Muslim wife of a Pakistani couple murdered her husband (Sheikh Naseem) because he was becoming more American than Muslim. He begged his wife to dress more American which meant to her – more revealing clothes. GASP!
“Honey I got to kill you for insulting Islam.” (Imaginary quote)
Look out Rifqa Bary.
JRH 11/2/09 (Hat Tip: Radical Islam)
What!? Israel and Jews in general should confront the religion of Islam as being a pack of Jew-haters. How dare Bill Warner make such a suggestion? It is not politically correct of castigating an entire religion with followers in the billions, is it?
Actually Bill Warner is right on!

Regardless of the notions of President Barak Hussein Obama, America is in a Global War on Terror. The reason is simple (in my book): There are a group of people espousing the exact example of Mohammed and the Theo-political ideology of world domination under a deity known as Allah. Part of that ideology is total intolerance of other religions, creeds or thoughts that are contrary to the way of Mohammed. These people wish the glory of ancient Muslim conquest which includes convert, be a dhimmi or die. These Muslim literalists attacked and murdered Americans on American soil by the thousands with the aim of taking a shot of the American way of life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness.
America is perceived by these cowardly murdering Islamic terrorists as the primary obstacle of a global Caliphate and the protector of the Jewish State of Israel which is a very tiny sliver of land on the coastal outskirts of Dar al-Islam (i.e. Muslim conquered land that slowly became Islamic as the result of people not wishing to be oppressed by their conquerors).
Does it sound like I am a little ticked? Muslims and Leftists would call my attitude a racist Islamophobe. I call it a patriotic Islamophobe though not in the sense of phobia equals fear. Rather I call Islamophobia “… a fear of losing life or liberty to Islamic rule merely because the laws, sacred texts, and modern practices of Islam demand the submission of culture, politics, religion and all social expression. It tends to afflict those most familiar with the religion, while sparing the more gullible.” (TheReligionOfPeace.com)
With my attitude in mind it is important to keep track of what the enemy is doing and the setbacks the enemy experiences. I have found The AfPak Reader to be an excellent source of tracking the enemy by ways you will rarely read in the Mainstream Media (MSM).
Once in awhile Gary H. Johnson, Jr. sends me a snippet of info that he usually elaborate in greater detail later on The AfPak Reader. Here is one such case at SlantRight.com below this minor introduction.

Rep. Keith Ellison (D-MN) has the irony of being both a Leftist and an Islamist fifth columnist.
As a Leftist he would fall into the category of pro-abortion, multicultural tolerance (e.g. tolerant of all religions and atheism), a supporter of Secular Humanism (which is diametrically opposes the Christian moral paradigm, Homosexual Rights and socializing the American system of government.
As an Islamist Ellison supports the purist view of Islam as instrument by the Muslim prophet Mohammed and his immediate followers that developed Islamic Supremacist ideological theology. An Islamist will claim women have rights yet will beat them for spousal disappointment or disobedience, supports sex slaves, supports pedophilic weddings, death to homosexuals, ending secularism in favor of only Islamic Sharia ethics and morality, the only civil rights are those bequeathed to a Muslim under the rules of Sharia, no civil rights for kafir, murder of a the kafir believed to insult the nature of Islam and its prophet Mohammed and so on all in the form of intolerance.
Can I say Ellison espouses the absolute beliefs of a Leftist or an Islamist? Of course I cannot, but I can look at his associations, his public writings and the organizations he supports to draw a decent picture of the Islamist Ellison.
Ellison’s close association with the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR), Muslim Students’ Association (MSA), Islamic Society of North America (ISNA), American Muslim Council (AMC), International Institute of Islamic Thought (IIIT) and others which all (Check out this MB memo: English translation begins p. 16) have deep roots with the Muslim Brotherhood and many terrorist organizations.
CAIR Watch’s YouTube site has put together a slide show of Ellison being the friend of America’s enemies. These are enemies in the sense that their goal is the replacement of America’s Christian foundation and the termination of America’s Constitution instituting the American experiment of Liberty, the pursuit of happiness and a representative Republic based on the concept all men are created equal.
Here is the CAIR Watch summary:
United States Representative Keith Ellison, ever since he got into office, has been associating himself with radical Muslim organizations and individuals. This video created by Americans Against Hate (AAH) exposes Congressman Ellison's actions. The public has a right to know, and hopefully the public will speak out.
