Explain Islam To Us

Wednesday, December 2nd, 2009

Thomas Friedman, writing in the New York Times:

Whenever something like Fort Hood happens you say, ‘This is not Islam.’ I believe that. But you keep telling us what Islam isn’t. You need to tell us what it is and show us how its positive interpretations are being promoted in your schools and mosques. If this is not Islam, then why is it that a million Muslims will pour into the streets to protest Danish cartoons of the Prophet Muhammad, but not one will take to the streets to protest Muslim suicide bombers who blow up other Muslims, real people, created in the image of God? You need to explain that to us — and to yourselves.

[Bold mine.]

This is the closer on an excellent essay about the Fort Hood killer, Major Hasan, and “The Narrative” that inspired his act of religious war. Read the whole thing.

Purple Hearts For Fort Hood Fallen

Sunday, November 15th, 2009

Roger Kimball makes the case.

Will the soldiers whom Hasan killed or injured in this latest terrorist assault receive the Purple Heart?

In my view, they should. But whether they do depends on how the Obama administration decides to spin the episode. If it determines that the soldiers were victims of criminal assault, the answer is No: they do not get this most somber military decoration.

But if the Obama administration determines that those soldiers were injured or killed in the line of duty, then they are eligible for the Purple Heart. [UPDATE: the always excellent Diana West beat me to the punch with this insightful column about Ft. Hood and the Purple Heart.]

It’s tricky for Obama. His administration is devoted to transforming the jihadist war against the West into a civilian conflict. Hence the heavy odor of political correctness that has hung about Ft. Hood since November 5 when Maj. Hasan shouted “Allahu Akbar” and opened fire.

Kimball points to Diana West’s brief, but cogent, post. She says, “Witholding medals to these war dead and wounded is the ultimate act of submission”. It’s an act of submission, alright, but far from the ultimate one.

Worse than the President bowing to foreign potentates, to be sure, but there’s a long hard fall even beyond this, with plenty of bumps and breaks on the way down.Terrible precedent.

“$200 Haircuts on 88-cent Heads”

Thursday, November 12th, 2009

Mark Shea, one of many outside the mainstream pointing at the blatantly obvious truth the mainstream insists on not seeing:

One thing you can give our media Chattering Classes: They are utterly consistent. After Major Nidal Malik Hasan opened fire on a roomful of defenseless people in Fort Hood, it was absolutely assured that we would immediately be told that this outrage had nothing to do with his Islamic faith and that it was not an act of terror. Then, as time went on and the bleedin’ obvious became bleedin’ obvious, we would spend all weekend enduring TV pundits scratching the $200 haircuts on their 88-cent heads and pondering the question of whether there might be some remote connection between Islamic belief and a guy who praises Muslim suicide bombers as heroes and martyrs, sits under the teaching of a Radical Islamic imam who praises his act of slaughter as heroic, uses his authority as a psychiatrist to proselytize vulnerable patients with Islamic agitprop, and dresses in traditional Muslim garb and shouts “Allahu akbar!” as he guns down his prey.

It was a spectacular display of deliberate willed stupidity by a media culture that demonstrates repeatedly it does not want to acknowledge that Islam tends to breed such acts of terror with startling frequency. And it was predictable because it happens every time some Islamic butcher opens up on innocent victims in the name of the Prophet.

Well worth your time to read the whole thing.

Shea points at something in particular I’ve been trying to find; more evidence of Hollywood’s cravenness, in particular:

For 2012, Emmerich set his sites on destroying the some biggest landmarks around the world, from Rome to Rio. But there’s one place that Emmerich wanted to demolish but didn’t: the Kaaba, the cube-shaped structure located in the center of Mecca. It’s the focus of prayers and the site of the Hajj, the biggest, most important pilgrimage in Islam.

“Well, I wanted to do that, I have to admit,” the filmmaker told scifiwire.com. “But my co-writer Harald [Kloser] said, ‘I will not have a fatwa on my head because of a movie.’ And he was right.”

Emmerich went on: “We have to all, in the western world, think about this. You can actually let Christian symbols fall apart, but if you would do this with [an] Arab symbol, you would have … a fatwa, and that sounds a little bit like what the state of this world is. So it’s just something which I kind of didn’t [think] was [an] important element, anyway, in the film, so I kind of left it out.”

Traditionally, a fatwa has meant religious opinion by an Islamic scholar or imam. The term has gained currency in the West after Iran’s Ayatollah Khomeini issued a death sentence in the form of a fatwa against British author Salman Rushdie for alleged blasphemies in his book “The Satanic Verses” in 1989. As a result, the Indian-born writer was forced into hiding for most of the ’90s.

But noooo, we’re told to believe. “Jihad” just means “a peaceful inner struggle with one’s self”. We’re told, “religion of peace”. We’re told, “selective quotation of scriptures.”

NO. As I always say at this point:

There is no god, not even Allah, and Mohammed, may piss be upon him, was nobody’s prophet, but a child-molesting mass murderer.

And I say that simply because, so far, I can, but I’m beginning to fear the day is coming when I dare not say such things in public.

And when that day comes, you watch: I won’t be able to say that, but anyone will be able to piss on a statue of Christ, or daub the Virgin Mary with shit, and will get public funds to do it.

Witch Hunt

Sunday, November 8th, 2009

This, from comments:

You are calling for a witch hunt.

Yes, yes I am. Darn betcha.

However, what I am calling for is a witchhunt by what I am assured is the vast majority (at least here in America) of moderate Muslims against (what I am again assured is) the tiny minority of jihadist radicals sheltering among them. A few public condemnations of acts like the Ft. Hood murders are not enough. Muslims themselves must destroy this cancer growing in their breast. If they do not, the rest of us will, out of sheer self-defense, and the mastectomy will be radical.

As for “all first hand accounts” — Actually, no, there are many reports of the murderer’s longstanding, and increasing, Islamic fundamentalism over the past several years, including reports of him delivering Jihadist lectures during grand rounds; of him wearing the traditional white robe of a shaheed, a martyr to be; of him handing out copies of the Koran, and even giving away his furniture in the days before the attack. There are several links between mosques he attended and Wahabist clerics in Saudi Arabia. (Once again, yes, I’ve done my damn homework; you do yours. These reports are not at all hard to find.)

I’m sure he was stressed over being sent to the Middle East — but that stress arose from his conflict between his military oath and mission, and his religious fundamentalism.

He chose to betray his oath, his country, and his fellow soldiers. He chose sides, and became the enemy.

That must be stopped, and there only two ways: People like him, and the clerics who encourage them, can be rooted out by other Muslims, or the rest of us can do it for them.

Choose sides. Soon.

===

Related:

Carol Gould’s scolding of Michael Moore for his claim that there really isn’t a significant terrorist threat; it’s chock full of links to the contrary.

===

[update]
Another quick, but highly relevant link:

I believe it was Derb a few months after 9/11 who said that for this new struggle our watchword was “Better screwed than rude.” Major Hasan represents the institutionalization of that attitude. Thirteen people are dead, dozens more will live with their injuries for the rest of their days, and a lot of families have had a great big gaping hole blown out of their lives because of it.

Anwar al-Awlaki and his chums have bet that such a society is too sick to survive. Watch the nothing-to-see-here media driveling on about pre-post-traumatic stress disorder like gibbering lunatics in a padded cell, and then think whether you’d really want to take that bet.

Read the whole thing. Absolutely.

Jesus Incites Violence

Sunday, November 8th, 2009

Oh, wait, no, sorry; that would be Mohammad who incites violence amongst his devout.

Osama bin Laden’s communiqués have also quoted the Koran copiously. In his 1996 “Declaration of War against the Americans Occupying the Land of the Two Holy Places,” he quotes seven Koran verses: 3:145; 47:4-6; 2:154; 9:14; 47:19; 8:72; and the notorious “Verse of the Sword,” 9:5. Bin Laden began his October 6, 2002, letter to the American people with two Koran quotations, both of a martial bent: “Permission to fight (against disbelievers) is given to those (believers) who are fought against, because they have been wronged and surely, Allah is Able to give them (believers) victory” (22:39) and “Those who believe, fight in the Cause of Allah, and those who disbelieve, fight in the cause of Taghut (anything worshipped other than Allah e.g. Satan). So fight you against the friends of Satan; ever feeble is indeed the plot of Satan” (4:76).”
…
One pro-Osama website put it this way: “The truth is that a Muslim who reads the Koran with devotion is determined to reach the battlefield in order to attain the reality of Jihad. It is solely for this reason that the Kufaar [unbelievers] conspire to keep the Muslims far away from understanding the Koran, knowing that Muslims who understand the Koran will not distance themselves from Jihad.”

And yet, Spencer points out, it is not the kufaars, the non-believers, who need to be worried about harassment and, uh, getting killed and stuff. No, no.

Silly me. I thought that after an Islamic jihadist murdered twelve innocent non-Muslims, it would be the non-Muslims who would need reassuring and protecting. But of course that non-existent backlash takes priority over 12 dead unbelievers.

“Some Muslims fear backlash after rampage: In the wake of Fort Hood tragedy, Houston authorities try to assure the faithful steps are being taken to keep followers safe,” by Moises Mendoza and Lindsay Wise for the Houston Chronicle, November 7:

In Houston, government officials have been working to reassure Muslims that they’re safe, pointing out that there have been few cases of retaliation locally after previous attacks involving Muslims.

There have been few cases anywhere. So few that CAIR has had to invent them.

As always, I have to say (just because, so far, anyway, I can, and because it really upsets some people): There is no god, not even Allah, and Mohammad, may piss be upon him, was no prophet, but a child molesting mass-murderer.

Tom Maguire, over at JustOneMinute, points out “Some dots just can’t be connected.” He points to this piece from the New York Post:

What interpretation of Islam influ enced Maj. Nidal Malik Hasan? As often before, the trail leads to the official sect of Saudi Arabia — known as Wahhabism to most of us of who denounce it.
…
We’ve also learned that, before his transfer to Ft. Hood last year, Hasan served as a psychiatrist at Walter Reed Army Medical Center in Washington, DC, and regularly attended Friday prayer at the Muslim Community Center in Silver Spring, Md.

The Silver Spring clerics have issued formal statements condemning the carnage at Ft. Hood. But Imam Faizul Khan, long the main prayer leader at the mosque and a friend of Hasan, said he never believed Hasan capable of such an act.

Yet what docrines did Hasan absorb at the mosque? While he was a communicant, it hosted at least four talks by Enver Masud, the founder of The Wisdom Fund, the main Muslim “truther” group in America [link, link].

And Khan is a leading board member of the Islamic Society of North America — the main Wahhabi-lobby group in the United States, established by Saudi Arabia to impose extremism on American Muslims. ISNA has a long and disgraceful record of promoting radical Islam.

Read the whole thing for the links.

Here’s the problem: it’s cover-ups, misdirection, and denial like the Chronicle engages that will eventually result in exactly the kind of “backlash” they claim to be trying to head off.

The NYPost gets it more right:

Confronting the role of radical Islam here is not Islamophobic, but common sense — and the first response moderate Muslims themselves will have.

“More right”, because the only way to ensure that moderate Muslims confront radical Islam, and pull it out by the roots, is to make America a very uncomfortable place for Muslims generally as part of the aftermath of incidents like Ft. Hood.

Let me point out that I believe the overwhelming majority of American Muslims to be “moderate”, i.e., non-observant or minimally observant, about on par with most American Christians.

However, we absolutely must hold the moderates responsible for the actions of the jihadists sheltering among them.

They should be every bit as afraid as the rest of us should be. Coddling them, and their viper brethren, is close to suicide.

QotD: “The very model of a modern major massacre”

Friday, November 6th, 2009

Please forgive me for laughing when I read Tam’s headline on her View From the Porch post.

The whole thing is that good, short, and well worth the read.

The cherry on the icing of the cake of the night was the mealy-mouthed General Cone simpering from the lectern about “We don’t go armed around here, this is our home,” which caused me to look at the loaded pistol on the nightstand in bafflement. I thought Texas had that “Castle Doctrine” thing? I know Texans on the internets are always bragging about how it’s legal for them to shoot someone stealing their hubcaps after dark, so I’m pretty sure a guy Allahu Akhbar-ing his way through a hospital waiting room gets the green light in the target selection sweepstakes.

Female Police Officer Heroically Wounded….

Friday, November 6th, 2009

… protecting unarmed, defenseless American soldiers being shot on American soil in an American military base by a Muslim jihadist wearing an American uniform, sworn to save lives as doctor, and sworn to defend the Constitution as a soldier himself, but mostly sworn to kill those who kill the followers of Allah.
alg_kimberly_munley

Kimberly Munley, thank you for stopping this outrageous attack.

Officer Munley, you were the hero of the day yesterday. Whatever a skeptic’s prayers may be worth, you have mine. You certainly have my admiration and gratitude, as well as the gratitude of the soldiers and families who were spared further grief by your bravery.

Well done. Very well done indeed.

Proof At Last, I’m Converting to Islam Now.

Friday, October 23rd, 2009

Via Pharyngula:
allah-writes
“Miracle Baby” story on AOL:

Thousands of Muslims have been traveling to a remote town in a war-torn region of southern Russian hoping to see verses from Islam’s holy book appear on the skin of a “miracle baby.”
The parents of 9-month-old Ali Yakubov said the word “Allah” appeared on his chin soon after his birth, The Sun reported.

Let me say it again, people: There is no god, not even Allah, and Mohammad was nobody’s prophet, but a child-raping mass murderer.

Who even today persuades his followers to torture their own children in his evil name.

The Immune System of Our Country

Friday, October 16th, 2009

Bill Whittle:

The CIA is the immune system of the country. It operates invisibly to kill invading threats. This case officer confirmed what I have known from other intelligence operatives: namely, that “several” (to me that would be more than three and less than twenty, which would be “scores”) attacks EQUAL TO OR EXCEEDING 9/11 have been stopped by these people specifically because of the intelligence-gathering tools provided by the Patriot Act. But those men and women and their lifetime of experience are now leaving the agency in droves, specifically because this Leftist President — like most leftists — sees his own people as the enemy of peace and not the 7th Century savages that would have peace-loving people like Mary living in a Burka and unable to leave the house without male escort.
…
Obama is giving the American immune system AIDS.

When the subject of Obama as a “peacemaker” comes up, people like Mary seem to think that the answer is to be nice and talk to people and the problem will go away. This is known as “mirroring,” and it is the blind spot that most people bring to negotiations — the idea that our opponents want the same things we do. In Afghanistan we are dealing with an enemy who insists on praying to Allah multiple times a day, who believes that women are subhuman, that homosexuals be killed on sight (preferably by crushing them under falling walls — look it up) and that any criticism of Allah, his Prophet (PBOH) or his clerics is punishable by beating or death. That is their IRREDUCIBLE CORE BELIEF SYSTEM and for that they are willing to die. We, on the other hand, believe in fundamental human dignity for all, the right to worship or not as we see fit, the right of women and homosexuals to live lives as equal members of society, and the fundamental right to say whatever we damn well choose. Those in turn are OUR IRREDUCIBLE CORE BELIEF SYSTEMS for which SOME of us are willing to fight and die.

[Bold mine.]Yes, of course you should read the whole thing.

One of the tags on this post is “Government Idiocy”. I though long and hard about that, and I’m still not sure.

I meant that tag to point to things like blind, overzealous application of some regulation, hilarious results of conflicting bureaucracies, that sort of thing.

But Obama and his minions are not being stupid. I think Obama is very smart, albeit inexperienced and naive, but not stupid.

They have a mistaken, nay, deluded belief, many of them, in the most pernicious political superstition ever created: socialism, but that does not make them stupid. Even the smart and well-informed can fall victim to delusion.

However, increasingly, what we are seeing are deliberate actions having their intended effects: the weakening of the United States, and the eradication of the best, though still flawed, political truth ever found: people are by and large capable of running their own lives. It is in this sense that I hope and pray that Obama and company fail, for if they succeed in their plans, an age of darkness will fall. I want America and its ideals to triumph, and that cannot happen if the current administration is not stopped.

That truth undermines power, and Obama, his minions, and their teachers and backers and “favorite political philosophers” are all deeply in love with power.

I think Obama and most of his minions think they will use that power for the good.

But they are idiots drunk on delusion if they think that will last.

The “Government Idiocy” tag stands.

“Who’s On First?” At The State Department

Sunday, July 5th, 2009

Via Protein Wisdom and Powerline, Anne Bayefsky brings this scary funny briefing from The Big O’s Department of State:

Ian Kelly, State Department Spokesman, Daily Press Briefing, Washington, DC

TRANSCRIPT: June 30, 2009, 12:37 p.m. EDT

QUESTION: On Iran, now that the Guardian Council has announced its decision and announced Ahmadinejad as the final winner with even more votes than before, is that enough for the U.S. Government, or are you still going to wait and see what happens on the street and by the opposition?

MR. KELLY: …as the Secretary said yesterday, we’re very concerned about what’s happening in Iran…And I think this process still has to play out.

QUESTION: Well, what are you waiting – what are you waiting to play out? …

MR. KELLY: I’m not quite sure I understand what you mean by what are we waiting for.

QUESTION: Well, you say you’re waiting for it to play out. I mean, I’m just unclear what specifically you’re waiting for?….

QUESTION: What is it that hasn’t played out?

MR. KELLY: I think that there are – that the Iranian Government still has to take some action…

QUESTION: Well, I know, but –

***

MR. KELLY: In addition, we don’t see that they’ve addressed the concerns of the international community about their nuclear program. So we’re still waiting for some actions.

QUESTION: Well, but – I know. I mean, you could wait indefinitely for some actions, but just kind of –

MR. KELLY: Well, maybe we – I hope we don’t.

QUESTION: But – okay, but, I mean, at what point do you say there will be consequences if you don’t see some actions? …

MR. KELLY: Well, you know what the Secretary said yesterday. I mean, we’re going to – we are going to make decisions and base our actions on the national interests of the United States. We have…concerns …about Iran’s nuclear program, and we’re going to just continue to raise these concerns until we see that action is taken.

QUESTION: Well, …don’t you think that’s inconsistent with “we’re going to do what’s in the best interests of our national security interests regardless?”

MR. KELLY: I just – you’re asking us to take actions. I don’t think –

QUESTION: …I’m asking if you’re going to recognize President Ahmadinejad as the legitimate government that you will be – that you say you want to deal with in – on your other national security interests.

MR. KELLY: …[L]egitimacy of any government derives from the consent of the governed. I think that we’ve always had concerns about the political process in Iran…We will make decisions on that based on our dealings with Iran, based on our national interests. We think, right now, that this internal situation needs to play out.

QUESTION: Sorry, can I follow up? But it has played out. The Guardian Council has said –

MR. KELLY: I don’t think it’s played out.

QUESTION: — Ahmadinejad has – so what are you waiting for? You’re waiting for him to be sworn in?

MR. KELLY: Okay. I’ll say it again. We’re waiting for Iran to take some action.

QUESTION: What kind of action?

MR. KELLY: Well, they need to address the concerns of the international community.

QUESTION: But that’s separate from the election.

MR. KELLY: I know it’s separate from the election. We –

***

QUESTION: So at what point do you decide that you’re going to deal with Mahmoud Ahmadinejad?

MR. KELLY: Well, we haven’t reached that point yet. We will reach that point when – I mean, we’ve laid out exactly what we think needs to happen in the P-5+1. Javier Solana has invited Iran to participate. We have said that we will participate…

***

QUESTION: It’s a bit confusing. You are saying that you are going to recognize Ahmadinejad when they decide –

MR. KELLY: Did I say that?

QUESTION: — when they decide they will attend this P-5+1 meeting. I don’t see the relationship.

MR. KELLY: Look…the situation is still evolving in Iran…When and if the Iranians respond to the concerns of the international community and decide to abide by their responsibilities under their agreements –

QUESTION: Then –

MR. KELLY: — we will make our decisions based on our national interests.

It reads like an Onion parody, but no. This is actual national policy, as established by people who think they’re better able than we are to run our lives. We need their help, they insist, and yet they’ll let a tyrant like Ahmadinejad stomp his own people into bloody mud.
