Islam

2011 Personal Daily Journal From the Stone Age

While surfing the net yesterday I saw something that really caught my attention, and even though it is not my habit to pick on innocent bystanders but this one really shows the chains of religion on (what seems like) a young man who is trying to understand what is the right thing to do. When you read and understand this you will also understand how it is very possible for believers to murder babies in the name of god, since even their own mother will not escape the harsh religious and cultural sentence.

A link got me to a site called “turn to Islam”, a forum with people discussing many things, but this one looked special, check it out

Zina-haram — Haram, My Mom is going to get Stoned

There is no information about this young man, but from the way he uses English I think its a safe bet to say that he is living in the West (“Blow off steam”), and it also seems like his mother has been divorced for a very long time, without it being a huge deal, also an indication that this post is not coming from someone living in Arabia. Even if this person is not living in the West it is still a testimony for the terrible problems that religions causes, in this case Islam, but to be honest it could have easily been any other religion.

“Zina” is a very strong word, it does not translate well into English and it carries with it very strong meaning of fornication and adultery, the punishment for this “crime” is death in some Arab countries like Saudi Arabia and Iran (who knew, right?) and can also be imprisonment and lashing (separately or a combo), the normal procedure in the Arab world is stoning the couple.

This might be a good time to say that views differ on the subject of the punishment, and that it is much more a cultural thing then the actual word of God in the book, however it is done in the name of religion, and in the case before us it is very easy to understand that the writer is above all in a state of overwhelming fear that his mother will be stoned.

Let’s think for a moment about how this could play itself in a modern secular family. A young adult has a reason to believe that his mother is having sex with a guy who he know is still married, he could be concerned about the future, the guy’s intentions, his mother’s feelings etc. He might be brave enough to ask his mother to have a serious talk with him, and he might discover that the guy is getting a divorce, that his wife is actually cheating on him for years, or any other thing that would make the situation look differently. Our believing writer here does not have a chance.

He is torn between fear and the need to show solid evidence against his own mother so that his brothers and sisters come to his help in removing the sex offender from their home and lives, the whole part of him thinking about placing a hidden camera in his mother’s bedroom so he can film her having sex (!) only to show it to all his siblings and go after her with the proof he so desperately needs to save her from stoning.

The totalitarian nature of religion removes that thought of the individual, even of the group, we can see how he has no concern for his mother’s feelings and sexual needs, to the guy’s family or to anyone in this situation, he is obsessed with following the religious process and stamping his mother guilty.

Scroll down and you will see the sound advice other believers give him, “get your brothers and kick him out” is basically it, no one stands to protect that mother, no one gives pause to any kind of human feeling, its all God’s prescribed movements that they are taking, and we should all be very concerned that in November of 2011 this kind of robotic behavior is displayed, because if they care not for their own mothers that will not care for our children.

Nigeria Is Zeroing in on Christians

November 6, 2011 by Leave a Comment

Nigeria is Zeroing in on Christians, seems a little harsh for a title no?, will not today.

The last work of pure evil is coming from a group called “boko haram” which is very much against the central government of Nigeria, and uses the same old tactics being used and implemented over the middle east for some time now, the indiscriminate slaughter of citizens of all ages to destabilize the power of the government and make life a living hell for everyone, with the exception of those defined as correctly religious.

The goal, also perfectly synched with all mid east terror groups, is a Sharia law country in which Islam calls the shots, even though Nigeria is a pretty big country with a mostly Christian based north, a Sharia law in Nigeria means very bad news to the Nigerian Christians – if it will happen.

Among the killing and slaughter of police officers and other people this group also remember to execute some of the real targets of radical Islamists, and makes sure to set fire to churches whenever possible, and to kill Christians as a bonus.

All of this should not surprise us, in a world that is blindly celebrating a so called “Arab Spring” which gives birth to new forms of totalitarianism many turn a blind eye and ear to the voices coming from Libya calling for Sharia law in the new country (combined with deadly violence in the name of Islam), the results of the elections in Tunisia which is turning into an Islamist radical country and the recent attacks on Christians and churches in Kenya and you get a clear picture. Small groups of local Islamic radicals are moving in on their targets, elimination of Christians from their environment.

Sharia Would Not Work Well for Us

September 14, 2011 by Leave a Comment

One of the things many people living in the West ask when they are told about the Muslim vision of a global Sharia governance is why would they care about it, they wrongly assume that Muslims will set their own law and live with it happily, while letting non Muslims carry on with their normal lives as usual, the truth is not as tolerant and nice going as that unfortunately.

Non Muslims will need to follow Sharia just the same as Muslims, they will also need to pay a tribute to the Muslims and declare Islams superiority over them, and what makes this such a confusing thing to westerners is that it seems very technical to them. “So I will pay a little extra tax for the Muslims and live my life, that is not the end of the world, right?” or “OK, I will say that Islam is better and stronger, and will go on with things as usual” will not do, it is not a technical thing at all.

Imagine you are under Sharia, you’re a non Muslim, you are already used to paying 50% of your earnings to the Muslim government, and do that annual ceremony where you kneel and kiss the feet of Muslim clerics, your daughter is married to a Muslim and had converted, better for her – you think.

One day she knocks on your door, her husband had hit her again, only this time he had broken her hand. You remember the last time you went to report this to the police, and the beating you suffered from them, so you will not go this time, she can stay with you until her husband calms down, her baby girl is with her as well.

A few days pass and your son-in-law knocks on your door, he demands your daughter comes back home to clean and cook for him. She leaves and cries, after a few hours he beats her again and she runs away, she does not want to involve you, so she hides in a park, he finds her, and kills her. It’s his right, there is nothing you can do about it, you have seen this happen many times, its come a long way from the “technical” sharia you submitted to.

*Note – honor killings are not in Islam but they are now deeply rooted in Islamic-Arab culture, you will find many Arab courts defending women killers and beaters with the claim that this is very clearly allowed and advised by God.

Ten Year Old Mistakes

September 10, 2011 by Leave a Comment

Ten years ago, after the 9/11 attacks, many of the world leaders went out of their way to explain to their people that the actions did not reflect the religion of Islam and everything it stands for, like many obedient citizens around the world I too listened and nodded as they talked about “the religion of peace”, as if out of the three monotheistic religions Islam was the most peaceful one.

If it was not religion what was it? was it something personal all these hijackers had against the city of New York and Washington? of course not. Was it something racial? probably not, ah, there is it – it was a misunderstanding of the holy books of Islam, so not really the religion but the interpretation of it by some religious extremists. I bought it, seems to make sense.

But even with this misunderstanding there must have been something that moved these people into action, and it seemed that the only things that could really do that would be the treatment of Muslim countries by the West and, of course, Israel. The Israeli Arab war and the fact that Israel was so close to the west in its identity and philosophy added a lot of fuel to this fire, with the American weapons support it only made it worst.

So all the pieces fell in together, it all made sense, some radical Islamist had some twisted idea of Islam and decided to punish the US for its arrogant behavior towards the Arab world and Israel. And that worked for a while, but then we started getting the footage from Egypt, Lebanon, Jordan, Gaza and Saudi Arabia, it looked like a lot of people were real happy with this, it looked like thousands actually celebrated 9/11.

So it was not just a few deranged crazy guys, it was much more, it was a culture of anti American sentiments and hatred of the U.S., and only a few years later I finally got a satisfying answer.

This was not a new fight, it was not a new battle and it was not a new sort of feeling that grow in the hearts and minds of many Muslims around the world, in fact it was very old, older then the American nation, much older then the idea of Zionism, it had nothing to do with the U.S. and nothing to do with Israel, September 11th 1683 Islam was stopped at the gates of Vienna and Europe was saved from the Ottoman empire.

The terrorists singnaled a very clear message to us in the west, the war for world domination is up once again, it was stopped for 318 years, and on Septmber 11th, 2001 they have resumed their fight for the world Islamic caliphate. This is a war which is hundreds of years old, it will not end if Israel falls, and it will not end if the U.S. will fall, it will end when the whole world falls and we all submit to Islam, giving away democracy, free speech and many other of the great things the western civilization accomplished.

Iran Murders 3 Iranians for Being Born Gay

September 8, 2011 by Leave a Comment

Not the first time that the Iranians have executed gays, and sadly not the last time, this is what expects all of us if Islam will have its way in the world. Any gay activity can be punished by death, the poor men and women who have just been born with this sexual tendency can beg all they want, Iran wants to see them dead, as well as other groups who had the misfortune of being born to a certain religion.

Check out this link with the story about Iran hanging 3 men for gay sex, at least they report it which seems difficult since there is no such thing as being gay for the Iranian president, he was proud to say so when he talked to an American audience in the U.S.A. (watch the video and you will hear people laugh when he tells them there are no homosexuals in his country, they actually laugh)
