Amil Imani
Liberal-Islamist Alliance
July 14, 2009
Presently, fanatical Islamists are lashing out with mad fury before
their own final demise. The “infidel” world has been complicit in the
surge of Islamism through its mistakes, complacency, and greed.
Our
academia leftists even engage in willful misinformation and deception
when it suits them. Terms such as “Political Islam,” or “Radical Islam,”
for instance, are contributions of our leftist
intellengtsia. These terms do not even exist in the
native parlance of Islam itself, simply because they are redundant. Even
a cursory study of Islam and its charter—the Quran—will clearly reveal
that it is a radical political movement. It is the socialist leftists
and paid-for-media and politicians who sanitize Islam and misguide the
populace by saying that the “real Islam” constitutes the main body of
the religion; and, that this main body is non-political and moderate.
Our liberal professors claim that Islam is inherently good, the majority
of Muslims are good and only a small minority has hijacked the good
faith of Muhammad by engaging in acts of intolerance, hatred and
violence. I agree, it is not uncommon to observe Muslims, anywhere in
the world, who are indeed exemplary in many ways. They are kind,
generous and much more. But these are the Cultural Muslims who are, in
effect, only part Muslim.
The question is: why is it that the good Islam is not ruling in the
world and the bad Islam is engulfing it in fire? Some
clear
instances of the rule of the real Islam are seen in places such as Saudi
Arabia, Iran, parts of Pakistan, Sudan, and Somalia. Iranians are
completely suffocated by the real Islam and that is one reason they are
revolting against the rule of Sharia (Islamic Law) and that is why they
are being butchered by the representative of Allah on earth, Ayatollah
Ali Khamenei, who considers himself the shadow of “Allah.”
Human nature is also the culprit, in part. We humans are attracted to
hate like flies are to honey. Hate is an easy sell. It is appealing and
little effort is required to hate. Hate gathers up the person’s or the
group’s frustrations, anxieties, fears, paranoia and many other negative
emotions in one handy bundle and hurls it at a convenient target.
History is replete with instances of hate energizing the masses into
commitment of small and large scale atrocities.
All one
has to do is to read the history of Islam and find out the truth for
himself. Mainstream Islam has been outright genocidal from inception.
Their own historians record that Ali, the first imam of the Shiite and
the son-in-law of Muhammad, with the help
of another man, beheaded 700 Jewish men in what is known as
“massacre of the Banu Qurayza”
in
the presence of the Prophet himself. The Prophet of Allah and his
disciples took the murdered men’s women and children in slavery. Muslims
have been, and continue to be, the most vicious and shameless
practitioners of slavery. The slave trade, even today, is a thriving
business in some Islamic lands where wealthy, perverted sheiks purchase
children of the poor from traffickers for their own sadistic
gratification.
The
Islamist, with the help of our liberal leftists, take advantage of the
provisions of the most benign system known to humanity, democracy, to
implode it from within. Islamists, by sheer numbers, will soon be in a
position to vote out democracy in many countries. They will elect
Muslims to all positions of local influence, who will create and enforce
policy according to the Quran. Once they have control over a town, they
will begin to establish informal Sharia, and there’s nothing the
government can (or will want to) do about it.
Sharia is
the brutal means by which Islam controls its populations by force,
intimidation, and punishments for offenses against Allah. Already, in
many European countries, national governments have, out of fear, given
Islamofascists the right to establish their own shadow governments
within the borders of countries like Sweden and England and Netherlands
where they can control their own populations without accountability.
Proposals for Sharia are being taken seriously by Canada. Politicians,
hungry for votes and devoted to the practice of political correctness,
bend backward to accede to Islamists’ demands.
At the
same time, Muslims will ally with
Leftist politicians who will gladly cede some of their power to this
group of enforcers, so conservative politicians and Christians who
advocate self defense and sane social policies are kept out of office.
Money that was once used to build mosques will now be used to buy
politicians. On university campuses, Islam will be portrayed as
righteous and peaceful, while Christianity will be associated with evil
Western and American values. The rebellious American youth will eat it
up.
Leftist
politicians will continue to hold the Bill of Rights over anyone who
dares to accuse this religion of wrongdoing. While crime and threats
skyrocket, Islamacized citizens will ignore the wrongdoing. They will
look the other way for fear of retribution, honor killings, and
punishments from those who uphold the Islamic requirement to seek
revenge on anyone who dishonors or disagrees with Islam.
Don’t our
liberal leftists assure us not to worry about Islamization of our
country, the United States? After all, Muslims are about a minority of
6-7 million in a population of nearly 300 million, you reason. Even a
smaller number of these Muslims are hothead radicals, while the majority
is just like everyone else. But small minorities can overwhelm the
majority by use of coercion and deadly force. Islamists are notorious
for their dedication to the use of force for achieving their aims. The
Taliban were a very small minority in Afghanistan, the Islamists were a
tiny faction in the 1979 Islamic Revolution of Iran. Both overwhelmed
the masses and imposed their reign of terror. The terrorist Hamas is
also a “minority” in number, yet it rules the Palestinian Territory.
Hizbollah of Lebanon is a minority, yet it has taken the country to the
verge of destruction.
Wait!
Should average Americans keep listening to self-styled expert liberal
professors and politicians who have aligned themselves with the
Islamists?
▪ Aren’t
these the same experts who told us Hitler could not possibly be crazy
enough to attack Russia or Britain?
▪ Aren’t
these the same “experts” who tried to cover up Mao Tse Tung’s reign of
terror in China, or Pol Pot’s genocide in Cambodia?
▪ Isn’t
this the same “expertise” that assured us in the 1970’s that inflation
was good, and could never be accompanied by a recession?
▪ Aren’t
these the same folks who tell us the Saudis are our best friends in the
Middle East, that the Titanic was unsinkable, that we should not succumb
to our racist impulses by reporting suspicious Muslim men who are
learning to fly jumbo jets?
▪ Didn’t
ultra liberal
Jimmy Carter call Ayatollah Khomeini, a holy man figure? And his
ambassador to Iran, William Sulivan, said,
"Khomeini is a Ghandi-like figure." (Khomeini turned Iran into one
of the biggest terror states ever and took American diplomats as hostage
for 444 days. This "Ghandi-like" figure executed hundreds of thousands
of political prisoners in 1988.)
▪ Aren’t
these the same folks that told us goods imported from China are
perfectly safe? Or that if we just “open up dialogue with our enemies,”
we can create peace?
Hmmm...It
seems we have much to worry about when the “authorities” begin to
disseminate their collective wisdom. And don't bank on the politicians
either. They are the master practitioners of the art of the politically
correct.
Shaming
the devil incites the devil, calling the USSR an “evil empire” did not
win Ronald Reagan points for diplomacy, but nonetheless, it was an evil
empire. Calling Nazis evil did not help endear the Americans to the
Germans either, but they were slaughtering the Jewish Poles down to the
last child. Calling Islam an evil empire, most likely doesn’t sit well
with “moderate Muslims,” but at least in the end will save lives.
This is
also why liberal appeasers in 1938, who refused to call Hitler “evil,”
got the world into so much trouble by creating a similar confused
intellectual forum about the Nazis. They tried to build bridges to the
“moderate” Nazis; they lectured clear thinkers about the dangers of
inciting German hatred by pointing out the truth. They accused
conservatives of being “just as fascist” as the Nazis (Napolitano called
conservatives “right-wing
extremists”),
they sent ambassadors and made treaties and trusted that the moderates
would come out and “reform” their zealous leadership. And they were
wrong
Fascism
is exactly what Political Islam was crafted to be. It is no coincidence
that Islamism has historically been so cozy with the fascist left. The
left habitually underestimates the intelligence of the American people.
The left is chronically unhappy about America, because it is looking in
the mirror and rightfully sees its own miserable reflection. Any time
anyone arises to serve this great nation and aims to keep it on its
course toward its glorious destiny, the left recoils.
In the
West, an unholy coalition of mentally-deranged suicidal-homicidal
liberals, together with self-aggrandizing Islamic apologists, are doing
their level best to assist the Islamists in the destruction of the
existing order of freedom and liberty.
To make
matters worse, a vociferous clique of local leftists, “useful idiots,”
with a suicide wish, are doing all they can to take the country with
them to the grave they so earnestly seek. These self-appointed squatters
of the higher-ground are riding so high on their high horse that they
are blind to the realities down on earth. The leftists don’t realize
that the opponents of Islamism demonize Islamism with Muhammad’s own
words and deeds. You cannot be a serial murderer and complain that it is
unfair for the DA to constantly harp about all those people you killed!
The
liberal left vows that we cannot win the war on terror only on the
battlefield. Yes, but tell that to the Viennese who in 1632 defeated the
marauding Muslims to save Christian Europe from slaughter and
annihilation. Explain that to the Sudanese Christians of 2007. How about
the Coptic Christians in Egypt? Does anyone know where all the
Christians and Hindus in Pakistan went? Ask the French and Spanish how
Charlemagne and Castile unceremoniously removed the Moors from Spain and
France. And what happened in 1948, the day Israel was legally declared a
nation? Oh, the battlefield is an ugly place, but it seems to have been
the only way militant Islam has been repulsed. Most loving Christians
believe that “love conquers all.” Well, rest assured that love does not
conquer Islamism.
I have
asserted in the past there is no such thing as a moderate Muslim, but we
have Muslims who have become
Cultural Muslims. This truth is not escaping intellectual blogs
because politically correct media cannot bring themselves to rank
religions or admit that some things are truly good or bad. They do not
want to offend their liberal or Islamic audiences. But in this great
argument, they are way behind the curve. The people are anxious for the
truth. The people must know the truth so that they can defend themselves
against a deadly and powerful adversary.
I believe
this is the most important argument facing us right now, but as long as
fence-sitters feel capable of condemning “all forms of extremism”
unchecked, most people will not take sides. Only when it is clear that
(whether or not people will admit it overtly) Islamism is unjust and
dangerous. Will we get support for a number of tough measures that
should send Islamism back to its cage where it belongs?
It is constructive to note how Islamists engage others in discussion.
When they don't like what they hear, they resort to ridicule,
accusations and name-calling. Wouldn't it be wonderful if these people
would, for once, abandon their primitive mindset and use a civilized
method of dialogue?
Muslims
must be encouraged to reject, if not Islam itself, one of its deadly
derivatives, Islamism, which has become a sharp thorn, inflicting huge
pain in our civilized society. They must be encouraged to combat
radicalism. They must know that the
free
people of the world eagerly embrace them with open arms once they rise
to the occasion and defeat Islamism
We, in the United States of America must resist Islamism while it is
still gathering momentum, unless we wish to end up in the same fix as
the Europeans.
