Islam Demands Surrender
January 26, 2009
What’s in a name? A great deal. Democracy, fascism, and communism
represent different systems of government. Judaism, Christianity, and
Islam are also titles for different religious systems.
Whereas democracy is defined as the rule of the people, by the
people, for the people, Islam is defined as the rule of Allah, by Allah
and his emissaries, for the pleasure of Allah. And when people, out of
concern for political correctness or ignorance, describe Islam as a
religion of peace, they are, at the very least, guilty of
misrepresenting it.
The word "Islam,” is derived from the word "taslim,” which means
surrender. The word for peace is not "taslim,” but it is "solh.” Hence,
when Muslims behave in violent barbaric ways, they are only doing so in
obedience to the dictates of their creed. They are surrendering and
sacrificing anything and everything in service to the will and pleasure
of Allah, as they see it.
Of course, not every Muslim surrenders fully to the will of Allah.
The great majority of Muslims are only partial Muslims. They may say
their daily obligatory prayers, they may tithe some, and they may keep
the fast from time to time. Yet, they may also have a few drinks now and
then, and do many things that they are not supposed to do.
But Islam can be a "forgiving” religion, specifically for the male.
If you neglect to say your prayers or you simply don’t want to, you can
hire someone, preferably an imam or a mullah, to pray on your behalf.
Going to the Hajj is too onerous and takes you away from the pleasures
and comforts of your life? You can deputize someone else to go in your
stead. You have a few drinks of the forbidden brew and it is time to say
your prayer? Simply rinse your mouth and go ahead with praying. But,
always remember the will of Allah and serve him. Do your duties to
vanquish the unbelievers, promote the rule of the Shari’a, and make the
earth Allah’s.
If only the masses of Muslims arise and carry out the orders of
Allah, then we would have the promised paradise of Islam on earth as
exemplified by such rules as that of the Taliban, Saudi Arabia, the
Sudan, and of course the Shiite nirvana of the Islamic Republic of Iran.
In these model Islamic societies, freedom of expression, worship,
and assembly are taken away. Women are treated as chattel. Young girls
are subjected to barbaric genital mutilation to make them sex slaves and
birth channels without the ability to enjoy intercourse. Minors are
executed, adulterers are stoned to death, thieves have their limbs
amputated, and much much more. Isn’t that everyone’s idea of paradise?
This misogynist religion of Allah is custom-made for the savage
male. A faithful follower of Allah is allowed to have as many as four
permanent wives – and replace any of them at any time he wants -- as
well as an unlimited number of one-night or one-hour-standers that he
can afford to rent. But, woe unto a woman if she even has a single love
affair with another man. Nothing less than death by stoning is her just
punishment.
The partial-Muslims are seemingly harmless, may appear normal, and
are under the radar. What gets our attention is the die-hard, the real
Muslims who are a small minority. Yet this virulent combative minority
is campaigning simultaneously on two major fronts. It works to herd the
partial-Muslim majority into its fold and vanquish all other
non-believers by any and all means.
It is prudent to keep in mind that all important events in the
history of humanity have been instigated by either an individual or a
small group. These individuals or groups have been the sheep-dogs that
have directed the movements and activities of the masses, the sheep.
This is exactly what the real Muslims, the Islamists, are doing in
the world today. It is suicidal to dismiss the Islamists as a bunch of
zealots of no consequences or as a fringe group that will burn itself
out. Sadly enough, it is the bulk of the Muslims that pundits portray as
"peaceful” who is either irrelevant or often serves as an instrument in
the hands of the Islamists. A couple of examples from recent history
conclusively prove the point that it is the fanatical minorities that
launch and implement campaigns that inflict immense suffering on the
larger society.
In the 1930s, very few Germans were Nazis, but many basked in the
resurgence of German pride and many others were too busy with their own
lives to care. Thus, Germany presented a wide-open unchallenged
opportunity for the Nazis to push forward their agenda and gather power
to a point that it was too late for any other force to stem their tide.
And we all know what suffering this gang of radical supremacists
inflicted on millions of people before their own demise.
The Khomeinism of Iran was started by a band of Shiite fanatics who
rode the tide of opposition to the rule of the Shah and promised the
masses the Islamic nirvana. No sooner had the Khomeinists ascended to
power than they made the entire nation captive by murdering tens of
thousands of the complacent and the late-to-awaken opposition,
imprisoning and torturing untold thousands more, and creating a state of
Islamic menace that threatens the entire free world.
The fact is that too many die-hard Islamists continue leaving the
failed Islamic states and settling in the lands of the
Kafir. These new arrivals bring with them the deeply
engrained hatred of the infidels and believe that they are indeed the
rightful owner of the entire earth and all other non-Muslims are mere
squatters that must be either subjugated or eliminated all together. In
this relentless campaign, the Islamists have a vast cadre of "experts,”
"talking heads,” and for-purchase politicians who keep endlessly
broadcasting the false mantra that Islam is religion of peace. This
latter bunch is criminally complicit in making the populace complacent
and furthering the work of the Islamists.
Islam may be a religion of peace. It is the kind of peace imbedded
in its very name: Surrender. Free people shouldn’t be cowed by the
Islamist savages and should take into account their accomplices who are
shamelessly deceiving the public regarding the true nature of Islam
Islam demands surrender of all that free people cherish and hold sacred.
It is Islam, a pathological doctrine and a vestige of long ago barbarism
that must surrender to the wholesome principles of freedom and free
people.
