A great irony of
the age is that the seemingly most diehard
proponents of freedom—
the useful idiots of our time—are the most
dangerous unwitting accomplices of liberty’s
enemy—Islam. Keep in mind that the very name
“Islam” is a derivation of “taslim,” the Arabic
word for “surrender,” surrender to the will and
dictates of Allah as revealed by Muhammad and
recorded in the Quran.
This non-negotiable surrender to Islam requires
the individual as well as the society to
disenfranchise themselves of many of the
fundamental and deeply cherished human rights.
Below is a brief presentation of what this surrender to Islam entails
and why it is imperative that all freedom-loving
people arise and defeat the menace of
Islamofascism.
Amendment I of the Bill of Rights enshrines
some of the most cherished ideals of
freedom-loving people:
Congress shall make no law respecting an
establishment of religion, or prohibiting the
free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom
of speech, or of the press; or the right of the
people peaceably to assemble, and to petition
the government for a redress of grievances.
Islam considers itself the three branches of
government. It enacts laws as it sees fit,
adjudicates laws, and executes as it deems.
Islam is anathema to the provisions of the First
Amendment and much more.
* Islam proclaims itself as the only legitimate
religion for the entire world, grudgingly
granting minor recognition to Judaism and
Christianity from whom it has liberally
plagiarized many of its dogma. Jews and
Christians are allowed to live under the rule of
Islam as
dhimmis and must pay a special religious tax
of jazyyeh. Buddhists, Hindus, Zoroastrians,
Baha’is, members of other religions, agnostics,
or atheists are not even allowed to live
practicing their belief or disbelief.
* Islam actively suppresses and even prohibits
the practice of other religions, including those
of the “people of the book,” Jews and
Christians. There is not a single church or
synagogue in the cradle of Islam, Saudi Arabia,
while thousands of mosques dot the tolerating
and welcoming non-Moslem lands. Islamic
countries that allow for Jewish and Christian
places of worship subject these “people of the
book” to numberless subtle and not-so-subtle
forms of persecution. Moslems in non-Moslem
lands proselytize relentlessly and convert
others while any Moslem who leaves Islam is
judged as apostate and automatically condemned
to death.
* Freedom of speech is just about non-existent
in Islam. The word is Allah’s, his chosen
divines such as Ayatollahs and Imams are the
only ones who are to make pronouncements
squarely-based on Allah’s word, the Quran. Any
expression in the least at deviance from the
Quran, the Hadith and the edicts of Islamic high
divines is heresy and severely punishable.
Hence, stifling of free expression is the major
mechanism by which the Islamic clergy retain
power and prevent constructive change in Islamic
societies.
* Freedom of the press is completely alien to
Islam, since a free press tends to express
matters as it sees it, rather than as it is
stated in the Quran. To Islam, the Quran is the
press and the only press. There is no need for
critical reporting, no need to present ideas
that may conflict with the Quran, and no place
for criticism of anything Islamic. The
stranglehold of Islam on the individual and
society is complete.
* Peaceful assembly of the people is not
allowed. The backward oppressive Islamic
societies inflict great hardship on the
citizenry and any assembly of the victims
presents a threat to the suffocating rule.
Islamic governments routinely prevent peaceful
assemblies from taking place. Failing to do so,
they unleash their hired thugs, the police and
even the military against any assemblage no
matter how peaceful and how legitimate is its
grievance. The Islamic Republic of Iran which is
vying with Saudi Arabia as the leader of true
Islamic rule, routinely attacks any and all
gatherings of its people, arrests them,
imprisons them without due process, tortures
them, and even executes them in secret dungeons.
Journalists, academics, unionists, students,
teachers, women rights groups who dare to
petition the government for redress are labeled
subversive and are severely punished.
* Maltreatment of religious minorities and the
non-religious is criminal indeed. In the Islamic
Republic of Iran, for instance, the government
has launched a systematic program of genocide
against its largest religious minority—the
Baha’is. The government is gathering a
comprehensive list of Baha’is, their
occupations, locations, properties and the
like—action reminiscent of the Nazis. The
government is banning Baha’i students from post
high-school education unless they recant their
religion, deprives them of engaging in numerous
forms of occupations and trades, denies them
from holding worship gatherings, razes their
holy places and much more. The Islamic Republic
of Iran is not satisfied with its cruel
treatment of the living Baha’is and has launched
a war on their dead by bulldozing Baha’i
cemeteries in several cities. Thus is the rule
of fundamental Islamism that is awaiting the
complacent and snoozing world.
* Oppression of women in general is tragic
indeed. Men are allowed to have as many as four
wives simultaneously and as many concubines as
they wish or can afford. Men can easily divorce
their wives and automatically have the custody
of the children, if they so decide. Women have
subservient status to men in all areas of the
law. Equality under the law has no meaning in
Islam. Just one example of the dreadful way of
treating women in Islam is a case of a Saudi
woman who was gang-raped. The Islamic court
convicted the woman to prison term and lashes
for having committed the “sin” of riding in a
car with a male who was not her relative. This
is a standard form of Islamic Shariah justice—a
savage heritage of barbarism that ruled the
Arabian Peninsula some centuries ago.
* Islam has a solution for every “problem.” It
deals with homosexuals, for instance, by hanging
them en mass and gloating about it, even though
homosexuality is just as prevalent in Islamic
lands as anywhere else. Recently an Ayatollah
made a ruling on homosexuals. He said that they
should be tortured before they are hanged. In
Islam the rulings of high-ranking clergy
constitute the law and are binding.
* Not only Islam does not allow freedom of
assembly and the press, it is intrusively
restrictive in every aspects of a person’s life.
The way women should dress, the haircut of men,
the music people are allowed, movies to watch,
television programs to view, and even parties in
the privacy of their home are subject to the
ridiculous monitoring of moral police. Islam is
hell-bent on outward morality and puritanical
conduct while it is rotten to the core just
below the pretentious surface.
* Islam segregates by gender many public places
and events such as beaches, sporting venues,
public transportations, and even building
elevators. Families are often prevented from
attending a sporting event together or swimming
together at a beach.
* Egypt, the crown of the Arab-Islam world,
demands that citizens declare Islam or only one
of the two other religions, Jewish and
Christianity, as their religion in order to
receive the government-issued identity cards. ID
cards are required for jobs, healthcare,
education, a marriage license and a host of
other things. If you are an agnostic, an
atheist, a Buddhist, a Hindu, a Baha’i, you are
forced to perjure yourself to receive the
indispensable ID card. In a real sense, Islam
the pretender of high moral ground compels
people to lie in order to receive what is their
birthright as citizens.
I have been sounding the alarm about Islam’s
imminent deadly threat for a number of years.
The Islamic treasury flush with oil extortion
money together with the help of useful idiots is
having the upper hand in this battle of survival
for freedom. The slaveholder Islam has been
transformed into a more virulent form of
Islamofascism; it is an inveterate unrelenting
enemy of freedom. We need to act now and stem
the tide of this deadly threat. Tomorrow may be
too late. Freedom is too precious to abandon
through complacency, acts of political
correctness, or outright cowardice.
