Islam Under Scrutiny by Ex-Muslims

Obama: Bowing, Scraping and Praising

Well, if the President said 'so', he must have meant it. When FDR said 'he hated war', he wasn’t just making conversation; he hated war more than he hated the Depression. When Harry Truman called Molotov a liar, he was angry and in earnest. When Old Hickory said he regretted not shooting Henry Clay or hanging John C. Calhoun everyone took him at his word.

 

Similarly, when Barack Obama praised Islam’s contributions to civilization he must have meant it. He just wouldn’t make it up. It was probably one of the first things he learned in Madrassas School.

And the "bowing", well, the chances are even Danny DeVito would have curtsied to Prince Abdullah if he had learned what Obama learned in that Indonesian blab school.

Would Abe Lincoln have bowed to Abdullah? Would a prairie lawyer make an obeisance to a desert Sheikh? Not likely. Old Abe might have measured heights with the Prince. They would have stood, back to back—a sort of bloodless duel. Lincoln liked to do things like that, but he would never have bowed.

Of course, Obama’s bow wasn’t a bow—it was more like a genuflection without the bended knee part, like a lackey would make to Henry VIII while hurrying Ann Boleyn’s head to the graveyard. But if the President says it wasn’t a bow, it wasn’t a bow. Maybe Abdullah’s shoelace was untied and Obama didn’t have any other way of telling him.

The President didn’t go into the details of Islam’s contributions to civilization though they must have been considerable or he wouldn’t have bothered to mention them. Many of them—maybe all of them—are listed in 1001 Inventions Book: Muslim Heritage in Our World, a bestseller in the UK and if Mayor Gavin Newsom of San Francisco ever gets wind of it required reading for grades K-12 in Serendipity Valley.

The book is loaded with incredible eridentia. How many people in America know that Leonardo da Vinci got his ideas about flying machines from Muslims? Up till now Tom and Huck thought Leonardo was painting The Last Supper when a bat flew off with his turquoise, but it turns out it was Muslims and not the observations of bats that started the Old Master on the road to scientific discovery. Wilbur and Orville Wright wouldn’t have got off the ground without Islam.

In the 1930s the Soviet Union claimed they invented ‘baizeball’ but now it appears they might have stolen the idea from Iran or Afghanistan.

Qur’an: 38:27 “We have not created the heavens and earth and all that lies between for nothing.”

That takes in a lot of territory.

Those who have read 1001 Inventions Book have been impressed. Most of the reviews have been positive. “Who would have thought,” wrote one reviewer, “that paper and gunpowder was brought to Europe by Muslims via the Muslim lands. Who would have thought it was in translation from Arabic, not the original Greek, that knowledge of Greek philosophy became prominent in Christian thought.”

Icarus preceded Islam; China invented gunpowder; they also invented paper; and Islam rejected Greek philosophy.

But Islam made great contributions to civilization and was instrumental, if not in the creation of the US Navy, but in its transition from a handful of armed tugboats into a fleet of first class warships. If it hadn’t been for all those pirate vessels swarming out of Algiers and Tunis and Tripoli in the 17th and 18th Centuries seizing American merchant ships in the Mediterranean and the along the coast of Northwest Africa and enslaving their crews, Thomas Jefferson would not have went along with the Big Navy advocates in the US Congress. The cry was “Millions for defense, but not one cent for tribute!” And the Marine Corps anthem says “to the shores of Tripoli,” another Islamic contribution to America! Will it never end?

Ms. Bettany Hughes, a renowned British TV presenter, was ecstatic in her praise of 1001 Inventions. “I am absolutely delighted to support the 1001 Inventors Project.”

The book is being used to promote Islam in the UK.

“This is scintillating and original initiative and incredibly timed…Of course, the tragedy of much of Muslim Heritage is that it was burnt in 1492 in Spain, over one million Muslim texts were set into the fires.”

That darn Queen Isabella!

“I think we are going to see a phoenix rise from the ashes,” said Hughes.

Rise! Rise, O Phoenix!

Book burnings were popular long before 1492. The Great Library at Alexandria was destroyed in 641 AD. The Christians have always blamed the Muslims but recent ‘historical’ research claims it was rogue Christians that applied the torch. Robert W. Mosimann of the University of Minnesota Press disagrees. In his review of God’s Crucible: Islam and the making of Europe, 570-1215 by David Lewis, Mosimann took a good whack at the new myth. Mohammed issued the order to destroy the library at Alexandria says Mosimann, and the order was preserved by a respected Islamic judge and exists to this day.

In the words of the Prophet: If the library contained works in accordance with Islam, they were not needed and should be destroyed and if they contained works at variance with Islam they should be burned. It was no easy task. It took six months to destroy the books. It was not the only time Mohammed ordered the burning of a library. From Alexandria to India the Greek classics went up in flames. The Main Christian Library at Constantinople, containing 250,000 books, was destroyed.

Regrettably,” writes Mosimann, “Islam over its 1,400-year history has destroyed far more wisdom than it has ever produced. An estimated 90% of Greek culture has been lost to us directly as a result of Islam. The greatness of this western heritage is of far greater significance than anything Islam has ever come close to producing.

The reviewer of 1001 Inventions said, “Who would have thought it was in translation from Arabic, not the original Greek, that knowledge of Greek philosophy became prominent in Christian thought.” One should be thankful for 10 percent. A dhimmi is born every day.

Where Obama sees contributions to civilization Thomas Jefferson and John Adams saw something else. Perhaps they were closer, could smell the stench of the slave pens, hear the cries of “Allahu akbar!”

In 1786 Jefferson, as Ambassador to France, and Adams, as Ambassador to Britain, reported to Congress on their negotiations with the Barbary States. Muslim hatred of America, they said,\

 “...was founded on the Laws of their Prophet; that it was written in their Koran, that all nations who should not have acknowledged their authority were sinners, that it was their right and duty to make war upon them wherever they could be found, and to make slaves of all they could take as Prisoners and that every Musselman (Muslim) who should be slain in Battle was sure to go to Paradise.”

Forty-four years later John Quincy Adams found little to change in his father’s original estimate of Islam. “In the seventh century of the Christian era,” he wrote, “a wandering Arab of the lineage of Hagar (Mohammed), the Egyptian, combining the powers of transcendent genius, with the preternatural energy of a fanatic and the fraudulent spirit of an imposter, proclaimed himself as a messenger from Heaven, and spread desolation and delusion over an extensive portion of the earth…He poisoned the sources of human felicity at the fountain, by degrading the condition of the female sex, and the allowance of polygamy, and he declared undistinguishing and exterminating war, as a part of his religion, against all the rest of mankind.

It all depends of whether the President’s bow was a bow or a scrape.

It was shocking to see an American President to stoop so low to the Saudi king as if he was looking for his balls to kiss.Shame on America to pick such a lowly man as their leader.This is just the beginning.See what comes next.Burak Hussein has already started showing his true colours.He is going to be the greatest threat to America from within.You can only know the reality of a person when he gets power.He presents hiself as a Saviour of the world but time will tell that he would prove to be the worst disaster.Always remember that all the poisonous snakes are dangerous but the one in your sleeve could prove to be most dangerous.Americans should start looking for a new person for the next election as their leader unless it has been sold to the Muslim terrorists by a man with Islamic heart and mind by then.May God save America.It takes long to build a good house and short time to destroy it.Americans are so gullible and fools but kind hearted.

i think may be he was showing respect to older man and try to be polite but saying that islam have contribution to civilization is wrong and distortion of the history facts. after all every rational and honest person knows that the anciant egyptian , roman , greek and indian & chinese and western europe and the americas have avery much greater contributions to the human civilization than islam .simply because islam & jihad have backward effect .

you said "JUDGE ISLAM BY THE BOOK OF GOD NOT BY THE PEOPLE" If we Judge Islam by the Book "Quran" then it will be easy to say Islam is not a religion at all but a GREAT LIE and Quran is a book of SLAVERY, RAPE, SEX, CHILD MARRIAGE, MURDER, WAR, POLYGAMY and more... do you have Quran different then me or you are ignorant to read or understand the quran correct.

Yes. We judge Islam by the Book of Allah. Isn't it crystal clear to you yet as to WHY ? Secondly, we detest those who follow the book to the last word and practice everything that is written in the your terrorist handbook called KORAN.

It's about time to ban the Koran, the book of hate, rape and murder. We have to liberate the Muslims from Islam. Start by burning mosques, religious schools.

The library in Alexandria was burnt down by muslims:this is a fact. The muslims have also destroyed the Taxila University and Nalanda University(in India ,Taxila in what is Pakistan today but India for several millennia) ,both the oldest Universities in the world because " they did not have Quran or Hadiths among their tomes of knowledge ". Muslims thrive only in ignorance and fear. Whatever was disseminated through arabic translation of the works of the Greeks and the Romans was done by non-muslims(jews and Christians) using muslim-like names to escape persecution by the mad, lunatic hoardes of muslims. It is common knowledge that muslims vehemently claim that all the knowledge and science of today and those yet to be invented/discovered comes from that shit book of theirs 'Quran'.I have not come across a more blatant obfuscation than that in all my life.Be it embryology or the "Big Bang" theory of the origins of the Universe. Human embryo is just a "clot" for these muslims , just what you can expect from a human who has clot in place of brain in his skull. Or for that matter the "Big Bang" theory according to sura 21 verse 30-31 stating that this Allah tore asunder the Earth and Heaven apart to start "his creation". Just imagine Earth pre-existing Stars,Galaxies,Space! The Big Bang theory talks of the Universe starting from a point of singularity having infinite heat and all space compressed to an infinitely small point. The great explosion is supposed to have 'created ' matter,particles,energy,space,time,etc. This is supposed to have happened some 15 Billion years ago,while the Earth came into existence much later and is just around 4 Billion years old .Look at the fallacy of sura 21 verse 30-31 ,which is just an imitation of the book of Genesis recast in a more ambiguous manner. After all Quran is just a distortion of stories robbed from the Bible and muslims thrive in brigandry,looting, taking credit for others discoveries/inventions. Just as muslims are a totally unreliable lot , the USA has gone bonkers electing a muslim but born-again "christian" into presidency. Maybe Obama has perfected the taqiyya art taking it to a different level !

The Russians defeated the Islamists in Chechnya by killing many of them. The way to stop Somali pirates is to burn their homes, kill their family and most of all the mosques and the imams. If they still don't stop, wipe them out completely.

Since when does the president of the United States bow to other world leaders? Bowing is a sign of submission! I am highly suspicious of his action. It only confirms his true religion is Islam. Actions speak louder than words!
