Traditional Muslims Can Not Disconnect From ISIS

November 15, 2015 by Leave a Comment

Whenever terror strikes, in Istanbul, one a Russian plane above the Sinai or in the streets of Paris you can count the minutes until someone mentions the obvious, “most Muslims in the world are good, honest and hardworking people, they have nothing to do with this kind of behavior and they certainly do not support it”. Well, thats is somewhat true, not completely true.

Here is a terrifying truth about your Muslim neighbor, the guy that owns that nice Lebanese restaurant and the nice shy Muslim woman who you see in when you walk your dog, almost all traditional Muslims have some support for the ideas of the most radical, militant and fanatical terrorists out there.

This might sound pretty harsh, and it is – and it should make you think about it for a moment. This is not a guess or an invention, it i s based on annual research and polls presented to Muslims around the world – and especially ones in the Western part of it, and in all of them you will be shocked to find that, for example, Muslims in the UK strongly believe that blasphemy should be punished, or that directly insulting the prophet should be punishable, and by punishable they do not mean someone writing you a ticket.

So while Muslims all over the world might shake their heads and sigh over the Paris attacks, they will not truly condemn the “Charlie Hebdo” massacre because “why should they paint hurtful images of the prophet to begin with?”, and that is exactly the kind of connection many traditional and Western Muslims have with the most radical murderers out there.

An easy way to spot this is the answer “Yes, but…”, notice Muslims defend terror, murder and even calls for genocide by saying “yes, but…”

The Americans brought this on themselves by invading Iraq.

The Danish papers should not have published those images.

The French should not have bombed those villages in Syria.

The Jewish girl should not have been somehow connected to the State of Israel.

There is no “but”, killing innocent people, targeting them, months of planning on how to murder the most coffee drinking Parisians does not have any type or kind of excuse. Try and think of one major terror attack of the recent years that did not directly targeted unsuspecting civilians, its not easy to find one. There is no “struggle” or “fight” there is just a routine killing of anyone who is not liked by the radical Muslims, in Turkey in Sinai and in Paris.

ISIL Is the Real Deal – Even Obama Can Not Take It Away

September 14, 2014 by Leave a Comment

 

Say what?
Say what?

The second week of September is always difficult, well not always – it has been difficult for the last 13 years, since September 2001. Almost everyone remembers president Bush speech in which he said the Islam is the religion of peace, and maybe the same thought had passed in the mind of the current president last weekend.

Obama’s ISIL speech made one false accusation and labeled the fighters of the Islamic state (ISIL, or ISIS if you want), for some reason the president wants to deny this group of people the only one thing that they truly are – Islamic.

How can an American president even start to give out marks for religious capabilities to anyone? from when did the main job of politicians start with correcting the names by which we can groups of people who are united in a common cause (as wrong and as prevent as it might seem to them, or us).

So we find ourselves, 13 years later, with the same distracting and fully wrong message ringing in our ears – the exact opposite of the evident truth is told to the masses in hope that they will take the bait and… keep calm and carry on?

It does not work any more, even fanatic dazed neo-liberals (ones that prefer full rights to the religious and reduced rights to secular) everyone knows that this fight is about religion, that its main purpose and call is for religion – and much more than that, these Islamic fighters now in middle east are in fact reenacting the same path of the historic birth of Islam, if the prophet would have arrived today he would find in them the perfect partners to share the prophecy, in this sense these people are (to Islam) perfect believers.

So please, first out of the respect for the intelligence of the general population and second for the simple idea of understanding who you are facing – say the truth, ISIL is everything but not Islamic, it is as Islamic as it gets.

The Plight of the Yazidis

August 7, 2014 by Leave a Comment

Begging for Help - World is more concerned with Hamas Terror "victims"
Begging for Help – No One Really Listens 

The Yazidis, an old and ancient religious community in Iraq sent a woman to beg for their lives in front of the national assembly of the Iraqi people. They are currently being butchered by the forces of Sonni Islam, ISIS, who is making its way through the Iraqi state.

The world is mostly indifferent, apart from a couple hundred people who marched in support of Christians (not Yazidis) in Brussels, as what the police calls a some “young” people shouted and cursed them as they passed (saying that all Christians should be killed).

The Yazidis are not as well prepared as the Kurds who are getting ready to face ISIS, they have been misled and misread the upcoming storm, now they are left for themselves – they are stranded in an area that would not support an life, so it is either they are killed by ISIS or die of hunger and dehydration.

If you need to do one thing today is to dedicated 2 and a half minutes to see this woman, desperately begging for the lives of basically everyone she knows, this is not the sexy Gaza Palestinians who during 30 days of active fighting had list an estimated 800 non combatants to what they called a “Genocide” attempt by Israel, the Yazdis do not get 3 Billion dollar annual support from Qatar, nor do they have the UN call an urgent meeting on their behalf, in the last week estimated are that up to 3,000 of them have been murdered – and more will follow if this is not stopped.

Christians Flee Mosul

With no help from the West - Christians need to run for their lives
With no help from the West – Christians need to run for their lives

What this life might seem for those Arab Christians in Iraq these days must be a gloomy, realistic and desperate thought. While they know of their brothers and sisters in the West, of their military power and financial strength they do not feel even the slightest touch of aid to try and solve their desperate situation.

As ISIS rolls in, Christians are faced with a choice that they did not confront for about 1,400 years. Convert, pay or Die. The ISIS fighters are firm believers in the Islamic old ways, and they stay true to that, non Muslims are offered – just as they did hundreds of years ago, the option between paying the Jizya, converting to Islam or death by the sword.

In many terms these Christians would have been much better defended 800 years ago, when sympathy and help would arrive from Christian nations in Europe, but now their tears produce no more than 5 minute on French TV news.

The latest information is that France has offered some of the Christians refuge, maybe in hope to pathetically balance the figures of religious immigration to the country, however French Arabs – or simply Arabs in France, who are fanatics to human rights when it comes to anything that has to do with Israeli issues, do not take to the streets for their fellow Christian Arabs, or even for the Shiite community in Iraq which is fighting for its life. What a strange world this is, that an Atheist blog laments the end of Christian presence in Iraq you realize how hypocrisy and bigotry rule the Western Governments.
