Thursday Islam turned a man who says he is a Muslim first and an American second into a person who intended to be a homicidal-suicide killer. He did not succeed with suicide in the Islamic cowardly style however. After killing 13 Americans and sending over 20 to the hospital with bullets in their bodies a lady cop ended the Muslim’s reign of homicidal evil. Make no mistake about it; Major Nidal Malik Hasan very much intended to kill kafir American soldiers in the name of Mohammed’s Allah.
Believe it or not I don’t have a problem with the concept of Muslim first and American second. I feel the same way about Christianity.
As a Christian first I am told to honor the King (national authority) and all those in authority in order to live a peaceable life. Add to this the Christian concept of the Golden Rule: Do to others as you have them do to you. Or perhaps even love your neighbor. Or again do not render evil for evil. Do Christians now and in the past adhere to these demands of faith?
No, they do not or have not. Muslims, Jews, Secular Humanists and atheists are quick to point out the travesties of history perpetrated in the name of Christianity and/or Jesus Christ. Western Christians spent years of military movements toward the Holy Land after being fed up with Islamic brutal conquest, raids and humiliation of Christians in the grasp of Muslim control. Those military movements have become known in history as the Crusades. Crusaders unfortunately took a Just War cause and exacted violence and massacres of fellow Christians, Jews and Muslims along the way. This breaking of at least the “do not render evil for evil” Christian principle should not have exacted evil for Muslim hatred, slavery, sex-slavery, Christian humiliation of those choosing to live the life of paying the jizya tax for so-called Muslim protection to allow the practice the Christian faith.
There are a host of other atrocities executed in the name of Christianity. The next in the sphere of atrocity after the Crusades is the Inquisition in which Protestants, Jews, Muslims were tortured to death or convert to Christianity (Roman Catholic style). The Inquisition went after people suspected of practicing the dark arts such as witchcraft (which was more the case of hysteria of Roman Church greed). The Protestants are not off the hook either. Under the inspiration of otherwise great Christians (e.g. Martin Luther) Jews suffered horrendously. I am sure I have made my point even though there are more instances of acts of violence or massacre that can be dug up to accuse Christianity as being equally guilty of violence as Islam.
Yet is Islam or are Muslims a victim or possibly just simply having a comparable history similar to Christian abuses contrary to Scripture? As I said earlier acts of violence and atrocity exacted in the name of Christianity was absolutely contrary to the principles of Christianity.
Islam on the other hand exacted atrocities, violence, genocide and often the choice between converting to Islam, the humiliation of dhimmitude or death as traditional course of action as prescribed by Muslim founder Mohammed and the traditions of the Hadith and Sira (or is it Sunnah? I haven’t gotten two down yet.).
There is no Golden Rule in Islam especially toward a non-Muslim enemy or person (aka kafir).
Here are some Quranic Suras that demonstrate that Islam is NOT a religion of peace. The Suras are taken from an article written by Muslim Dr. Sami Alrabaa:
O you who believe! do not take the Jews and the Christians for friends; they are friends of each other; and whoever amongst you takes them for a friend, then surely he is one of them; surely Allah does not guide the unjust people. (Sura 5, verse 51)
And the Jews say: Uzair is the son of Allah; and the Christians say: The Messiah is the son of Allah; these are the words of their mouths; they imitate the saying of those who disbelieved before; may Allah DESTROY them; how they are turned away! (Sura 9, verse 30)
And the Jews will not be pleased with you, nor the Christians until you follow their religion. Say: Surely Allah's guidance, that is the (true) guidance. And if you follow their desires after the knowledge that has come to you, you shall have no guardian from Allah, nor any helper. (Sura 2, verse 120)
And KILL them (the unbelievers) wherever you find them, and drive them out from whence they drove you out, and persecution is severer than slaughter, and do not fight with them at the Sacred Mosque until they fight with you in it, but if they do fight you, then slay them; such is the recompense of the unbelievers. (Sura 2, verse 191)
They desire that you should disbelieve as they have disbelieved, so that you might be (all) alike; therefore take not from among them (the unbelievers) friends until they flee (their homes) in Allah's way; but if they turn back, then seize them and KILL them wherever you find them, and take not from among them a friend or a helper. (Sura 4, verse 89)
At this point a Muslim or Muslim Apologists think they have a great point to claim the Bible has the same enjoinders to kill non-Jews to make room for the Chosen People to receive the Land prepared by God. (Of course a Muslim would not say “Chosen People” or “God”). Let me point out that the order of God to kill everything in the Promised Land was based on the inhabitants being at the point of no-return in their moral arena. This people disowned the Creator in favor for false gods, committed sex sins (homosexuality and temple prostitution in their various polytheistic beliefs), infanticide of babies either unwanted or in human sacrifice and you get the idea.
Here is another point about the Old Testament Jews: the order to kill everything was not perpetual. Indeed it became obvious the Jews would not complete their God-ordained mission and time ran out on the task. It became the beginning of the constant error of forsaking God’s Law in favor of the same acts of the people they were to eliminate. Thus when the Jews of the Northern Kingdom of Israel followed by the Southern Kingdom of Judah were to the point of no-return, God removed them from the control of the Promised Land. Hence history has the Assyrian diaspora and the Babylonian diaspora (aka Babylonian Captivity). Upon a return to piety in foreign lands the Hand of God began repatriating Jews back to their Promised Land.
On the other hand Muslim holy writings have a perpetual command to kill the infidel (kafir) until they become Muslim. This command indeed stretches to the Quranic “People of the Book” (i.e. Jews and Christians). It is vague when the full throttle of the inclusion of convert or die for the “People of the Book” takes place; however it is a certainty that radical Islam acts as if this day is the age of extermination.
Another favorite rejoinder by Muslims and Muslim Apologists is this Quranic Sura:
“There is no compulsion in religion” (Quran Sura 2 verse 256).
In light of the Quranic verses above this is quite a deceptive ploy utilized by Muslim Apologists. The verse appears to promote the paradigm of tolerance but further reading of the Quran, Hadith or Sira would demonstrate there no compulsion in the sense of choice for the People of the Book. The non-Muslim is not viewed as being compelled when given the choice of convert, become a second class humiliated dhimmi or die. There is no compulsion when “choice” is involved is there?
There is also a difference between Christianity and Islam in points of view. Via Christianity the West has developed a unitary sense of logic. For example if something is valid then its opposite is invalid. If something is true then the opposite is false. If what goes up must come down then one does not jump off a tall building without some kind mechanical device that overrides the simple law of gravity.
Islamic logic is NOT the same. Islam is all about duality. This duality means two opposites can be the same under various man-molded ethics. This duality comes strait from the Quran.
For instance the “There is no compulsion in religion” Sura is an attributed to Mohammed during his Mecca and pre-flight to Medina days. Mohammed attempted the Christian path of persuasion to gain converts until he got the boot from the Arab polytheists (a few Christians and Jews) from Mecca. Mo developed a more martial concept of
Mo gained more adherents in Medina who he began to train militarily. As Mo became stronger the Jewish Arabs became a bit more resistant to the Muslim message. This all led to the slaughter of Medina Jews and the eventual conquest of Mecca. The die had been cast on how to spread Islam to the world. Hence Muslim violence and conquest is the continuation rather than the contrary of Muslim holy writings.
It is obvious that Christian atrocity is contrary to Christian principles and Muslim atrocities are ordained by Muslim principles. Thus we have one Nidal Malik Hasan going on an Islamic inspired killing spree.

Islam and the Fort Hood Murders

On Thursday, we learned about more murders perpetrated by a Muslim on American soil. A lone gunman carried out a reprehensible attack on an army base in the name of his Islamic god. Granted, this was not your typical Islamic jihadist using his body as a medium for exploding a homemade bomb or taking over a commercial airliner and using it as a missile, but it certainly appeared to have the same intent – to kill as many “infidels” as possible.
The next morning, Mr. Barack Hussein Obama cautioned us not to “jump to conclusions” on this matter. I am going to take the opportunity to do exactly that. I think a conclusion that is based on what we have learned so far is adequate enough. Considering the released details of the attack and the information gathered about the murderer, this conclusion is not premature.
The shooter, Major Nadil Malik Hasan, is a psychiatrist in the United States Army. He is a devout Muslim. It has been reported that he did not want to be deployed to either Iraq or Afghanistan and that he expressed this openly. It has also been reported that he did not want to go to either of those places as a soldier in the United States Army because he did not want to fight on the side of those killing other Muslims, since he is one himself. He has allegedly stated in the past that the War on Terror is actually a war against Islam.
Instead of being deployed, he decided to murder thirteen people and injure another 30. He took two handguns, drove into Fort Hood in Killeen, Texas, and gunned down over 40 people. There are reports that some witnesses claimed he was shouting the Islamic Takbir (“God is great”) while on his rampage. It is also reported that he gave away some of his furniture, along with copies of the Koran, earlier on Thursday morning.
I suppose this is merely a desperate act committed by a war-torn soldier trying to reach out for help. At least that’s how some people in the media are trying to spin this, or will try to do so. The only problem is, Hasan apparently has never been to either Iraq or Afghanistan. He was also a psychiatrist, so he most likely would not have seen any actual combat. In light of these facts, we can pretty much rule out Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) as the culprit in this case.
If associates of Hasan are saying that he was adamantly against our two wars due to his Muslim faith; if it is known that a former classmate has stated that Hasan considered himself “a Muslim first and an American second”; if it is known that he was handing out copies of the Koran the very same morning of the attack; and if witnesses at the scene of his attack are claiming that he was shouting, “Allahu akbar,” then I think it can be safely assumed that this was probably religiously motivated. If not actually motivated by his religious beliefs, then they were at least a prominent factor.
I’m not saying that Hasan is a terrorist, but he apparently fits the profile of one. We’ll see what further investigation turns up and whether or not he was associated with any radical organizations.
These murders ought to give us a good reason to reflect on how we are treating the problem of Islamic radicalism within our borders.
Should we allow devout Muslims to serve in the military while we are engaged in two wars where Islam is the predominant religion of the nations in which we fight? If members of our Armed Forces are so open in their opposition to our wars – and even consider them to be wars against the very religion that they practice – shouldn’t it be the duty of our military commanders to discharge these people from service?
Should we consider criminal profiling as “bad policy”? How many Muslim male extremists, mostly between the ages of 17 and 40, need to murder Westerners before we start keeping a closer eye on them? Why do we pretend that the problems we are facing are not with followers of the Islamic religion? We are constantly told, “We are not at war with Islam.” That message has even been hand-delivered to the Muslim world. Yet, for some reason, many people in that Muslim world believe that they are in fact at war with us because they are Muslims.
Perhaps it’s time for us to actually acknowledge those sentiments – and finally do something about it.
I have not seen Jews, Wiccans, or Buddhists murdering Westerners and declaring war on the United States. However, there is an overabundance of terrorist acts perpetrated by Muslims on all different cultures and faiths – including their own. And still, we claim that it’s wrong to engage in profiling in order to protect the innocent from these barbarians.
It’s time for the nations of the world, and particularly our own, to get treatment for our Irrational Disbelief Syndrome. Islam is at war with us. It may not be every Muslim in the world that wants to kill us, but it certainly is the Islamic religion that either foments or tolerates such hatred toward “infidels” around the globe. We don’t need to round up all the Muslims and intern them, but we at least need to recognize that it is their religious beliefs that have lead and are leading to the acts they commit. Whether or not those beliefs accurately portray the true ideals of Islam is irrelevant. Terrorism is being committed in the name of that religion by the followers of it.
How many more acts of terrorism will it take before we stop ignoring the real problem? How many more murdered Americans will we tolerate? Will we awake from our politically correct coma and deal with this problem, or will we simply allow ourselves to be butchered in our sleep?
