Islamofascism
[From Islamo-Fascism is More Dangerous than Nazi’s Fascism! by Syed Kamran Mirza]
What
is fascism?
The word “fascism” stands for: Dictatorship, one party government, autocracy, totalitarianism, racism, Nazism, Hitlerism (Webster’s New World Thesaurus). More precisely the word “fascism” stands for: A philosophy or system of government that is marked by stringent social and economical control headed by a dictator (The American heritage Dictionary). Fascism is a form of government headed by a dictator which involves total government control of political, economical, cultural, religious and social activities (World Book).
What is Islam?
Islam is politically motivated Arab imperialism in the garb of a religion. Surprisingly, Islam does not possess much spiritualism in a real sense; instead, it is a totalitarian ideology which attempts to control human’s mind and body and every aspect of man’s life in its entirety. That is why Islam is widely known as the so called ‘code of life’ which is strictly articulated, which is implemented through the ‘Islamic Shariah’, the very constitution of the Islamic state. Islamic Shariah was originally formulated by the strict scriptural dictums from Holy Quran (the words of Allah) and the hadiths (Sunnah of the Prophet). Now, if we do the detail analysis of the Shariah-based state called Islamic state then clearly we can learn that actually an Islamic state is more dangerous than all known fascist states of the world. Because, Islam does not have any regard for human life or human freedom; Islam only cares obligation of obeying Allah and His prophet.
The true Islamic Sharia laws (Hudud) strictly control and dictate every single affair of human lives. Islamic Sharia or so called Islamic ‘code of life’ is bound to control political, economical, cultural, family-life, business, personal life, sexual life, dress-codes, food habits and everything else on earth. In other words, the Islamic code will dictate people – what politics they can do or can not do, what they can eat or can not eat, how to greet or whom they can not greet, how to dress or what they can not dress, when to pray or what not to pray, how to do sex, how to wash their body or face, how to do business, what to produce or not to produce, what man can do or can not do, what women can do or can not do, what to sing or not to sing, what musical instrument can or can not be used, how to cry or not to cry, whom to marry or not to marry, what to play or not to play and so on. Islamic sharia-based nation will control almost every affair of citizen’s lives (from the day of birth until the day of death/grave) by the strict rules prescribed by the Islamic God and Prophet Muhammad.
A few examples will clarify this matter more vividly:
Religious practice: Only Islam will be allowed to practice freely and all other religions will be strongly persecuted, discouraged or allowed with a number of restrictions and social and political handicaps. Because Islam does not recognize or respect any other religion on earth (Quran-3:85). Non-Muslims will lead the life of second class citizens and will reside in the country as Dhimmis.
[Islam divides
human race into three main groups:
1. The believers (Muslims – slaves of Allah);
2. The Dhimmis (Christians, Jews, Buddhists, Zoroastrians);
3. The kafirs (all polytheists such as Hindus, animists and atheists).
The 2nd group are considered the Dhimmis and are allowed to
practice their creed with severely handicapped privileges of a
citizen. The 3rd group must either be converted to Islam or
be brutally killed]
Coercive imposition of Islamic rituals: Islam is the only religion in which people are being forced/coerced to observe the daily religious rituals. In any Islamic paradises – like Saudi Arabia, Iran, Talibani Afghanistan, or any other Islamic Arab countries – the Sharia police (Muttawalli) force the general citizens to observe daily rituals very strictly. Anybody who fails to obey is punished by beating severely or even by imprisonment. Even in the moderate Muslim countries like Bangladesh, Pakistan, Indonesia, Malaysia etc., the clergies, general public or the elders will repeatedly remind or even force younger people to join the daily five-time prayer rituals of Islam. Anybody who do not join or refuse to join will be cursed, looked down or insulted.
People’s dress: Islam has a special dress code for both men and women. Citizens of any Islamic nation can not choose their own dress at will and they must obey Islamic strict dress code. State will dictate what men can wear and what women can wear. For example, men will be compelled to keep long beard (giving them billy goat’s appearance) and women will be compelled to wear black burkha, hijab or Nikhab (Quran-33:59 – giving them frightening ghostly appearance). Violators will be punished by Islamic beating/lashings or by imprisonment. Anybody from another religion or foreign land converting to Islam also needs to adopt/change her/his dresses according to Islamic requirement. A devout Bangladeshi, Chinese or a Burmese convert to Islam will pretend to be a good Muslim by wearing Arab garb or Hijab for women, even though his/her own national dress is not at all similar to Arab national dress.
Education: Islamic state will prohibit western style education, i.e., anything that contradicts Islamic dictum will be prohibited. Modern science in general and biological science in particular, such as the evolution theory will be strictly prohibited. Women will be barred from going outside for education, i.e. women will not be allowed to go to school and college and they will only be allowed to learn about religion inside confines of their homes and how to be obedient and submissive to their husbands and male elders.
Working outside/job: Only men will be allowed to work outside, not the women. Women will stay at home to serve men and to breed and rear children.
Medical treatments: Islam will dictate even treatment privilege of general citizens. Male doctor will not be allowed to treat any female patient and vice-versa. Many of the modern treatments (surgical procedures etc) will be prohibited for women and men.
Business or Industrial development: Islamic state will decide which businesses and productions are legal and which are not according to the precepts of Islam. For example, productions like alcohol, musical instruments, music recording and sports goods etc. will be strictly prohibited. Violators will be beaten severely by Islamic methods.
Sports and leisure: All sports like football, cricket, volleyball, basketball etc. will be prohibited. Islam does not condone any types of sports for recreation purposes. Sport of any type is considered the game of Satan. Praying five times a day is their main sports.
Banking or economic programs: Modern economic systems of banking or monetary business like stocks, bears and bulls market, mutual funds and bonds etc. will be prohibited. Islamic Banking without interest payment will run the country’s economic transactions.
Drama/theater/Cinema: All forms of drama, theaters and cinema are deadly illegal in Islam; hence will be strictly prohibited by Islamic shariah. Islamic morality/virtue police (Muttawalli) will roam the country to stop these Satanic vices and will severely punish with beatings and lashing, if anybody violates the code of Islamic virtues.
Tourism/recreations: Tourist’s attractions will be almost nil and only thing will be allowed is to pilgrimage to some holy places for the devout Muslims. Recreations like sun-bathing in the sea-beaches will be strictly prohibited. Violators will be punished by beating and lashing.
Food and drinks: Muslims will follow the very strict Islamic codes on food and other consumables. Unlike other religious groups, Muslims can not eat the most hygienically produced meat products in the West. Muslims need to eat so called halal meat obtained from animals slaughtered according to Islamic codes normally under un-hygienic conditions. Alcoholic drinks of all types will be strictly prohibited.
Music: In the Islamic Shariah laws, music is considered weapons of Satan (Devil); hence music of all kinds are strictly prohibited. Only vocal music of religious nature (commonly known as Gazzal), which exalts the greatness of Allah and his prophet, is allowed. All instrumental music, i.e. all musical instruments is strictly prohibited. Violators are punished or imprisoned.
Arts and sculptures: Islam does not allow drawings or sculpturing of any living beings (such as humans, animals and birds). The drawings of plants and vines will be allowed, because the Islamic God thought plants and vines were lifeless objects!
Criminal Punishments: Punishments for the crimes (like stealing, adultery, killings etc.) will be cutting/chopping hands, feet and even chopping heads, or stoning death and lashings one hundred and one times. Present Islamic paradises like Saudi Arabia, Iran, Nigeria, Pakistan, Sudan and many other Arab nations randomly practice these above mentioned punishments according to Islamic Sharia or hudud laws.
Sexual life: Islamic shariah laws will also control people’s sexual life and marriage life. Shariah will dictate when, what and how to do sexual acts. Usage of condom etc will be prohibited. Love acts of all types will be strictly prohibited at the outside of the private home.
Family life: Even the family lives in the Islamic country are controlled by the Sharia laws. Family planning such as birth-control will be strictly prohibited. Islam decides how to distribute family wealth, how to divorce or not to divorce, who is the leader of the family etc.
[The above mentioned Islamic codes used to be strictly implemented in the erstwhile Afghanistan under the Taliban and are applied with 90-60% strictness in the present Islamic countries like Saudi Arabia, Iran, Sudan, Pakistan and the Muslim regions of Nigeria]
In brief, according to the true Islamic state
as per the puritanical Islam preached by the Prophet of Islam, humans
have been created only to worship Allah and to praise and sing about
Allah and His prophet only. Every Muslim is a slaved (submission) to
Allah and his laws as enshrined in Islam (Sharia). Human race is
nothing but the slave its creator, the Allah! In this mortal earth,
Islam (Sharia laws) will control almost everything a Muslim will do or
won’t. Because, Islam is allegedly perfect, yet a super totalitarian,
divine system, which controls human’s life with an iron-fist.
Therefore, Islam is the strictest form of fascism on earth and cannot
be compared with any other type of known fascism.
On the other hand, a true fascist ideology or state (like Hitlerism, Italian fascism or even communism) may only control political, economical or rarely some religious events. They are never known to have controlled or dictated people’s freedom to lead their lives so completely like the way Islamic states (Sharia laws) do.
Therefore, it’s an obvious fact and reality that Islamic fascism is manifold more dangerous and brutal than the Nazism or Italian fascism that are known to the world today. World must recognize that Islam is not just a religion (like Christianity, Judaism or Hinduism etc), but instead, a fascistic Arab imperialist agenda in the garb of a religion of peace, which is about to engulf entire civilized world through terrorist campaign and other deceptive means.
Jihad
[From Thinking Errors of Muslims in Pathways to Jihadi Terrorism by Dr. Babu Suseelan.]
Jihad (in Arabic, "struggle") is a central duty of every Muslim. Modern Muslim theologians have spoken of many things as jihads: the struggle within the soul, defending the faith from critics, supporting its growth and defense financially, even migrating to non-Muslim lands for the purpose of spreading Islam. But violent jihad is a constant of the Islamic history. Many passages of the Qur'an and sayings of the Prophet Muhammad are used by jihad warriors today to justify their actions and gain new recruits. No major Muslim group has ever repudiated the doctrines of armed jihad. The theology of jihad, which denies unbelievers equality of human rights and dignity, is available today for anyone with the will and means to bring it to life.
Jihad (terrorism) is as old as Islam. Jihad war, death and destruction have followed in the wake of Islam for hundreds of years. Ancient Egypt, Greece, Spain, Persia, India and several societies have experienced the deadly Islamic conquest. Now Jihadi terrorism has propelled to dangerous proportions and is a major threat to public health and world peace. Jihadi terrorists are said to have the unique ability to perpetuate their deadly terrorism wreaking havoc in every city in the world. Its destructive impact on the economy, public health and public safety is widespread and on the increase.
Sensational Jihadi terrorism, mass riots, violence, beheading, suicide bombing and plane hijacking are under constant media scrutiny. Jihadi terrorism is also a compelling subject for terrorism scholars, social scientists and security planners. Nevertheless, agreement on the important underlying causes has been elusive and inconsistent. Liberal left wing social scientists attribute Jihadi terrorism as a product of "labeling" and social causes including economic deprivation and interference of non-Islamic countries. They romanticize Jihadi terrorists as involved in protest against social injustice. In their eagerness to promote the irrational doctrine of "political correctness", left wing armchair speculators see Jihadi terrorists as victims of reactionary, reductionist "conspiracy theories" that make the terrorists the real victim of unjust society. For phony, left wing, liberal social scientists, suicide bombing, mass murder, riots, arson and public beheading of non-Muslims by Jihadi terrorists are negotiated product of formal responses to political injustices.
Numerous empirical evidence and case study of Muslim terrorists proves the unbalance of this equation. Such malicious "politically correct" statement is misleading and mischievous. The unified left wing explanation of Jihadi terrorism as a social phenomenon in the changing political and economic context is false and falls far short of explaining reliable and stable psychological and religious variables influencing Islamic terrorism.
In recent years, studies of risk prediction and identification of both static and dynamic factors associated with Jihadi terrorism have provided a clear understanding of the problem. Empirically based investigations of psychological factors on Jihadi terrorists have indicated important cognitive and behavioral variables acting as pathways for Jihadi terrorism. Focused studies have revealed unusual ways of Jihadist's thinking, asocial attitudes, cruelty, and indifference to the feelings of victims, paranoia and aggressive hostility.
The problems mostly identified with the jihadi terrorists and Muslim fundamentalists have been discussed more elaborately in the chapter "Thinking Errors of Muslims".
Islam and Democracy
[From Democracy’s Problems with Islam by Amil Imani]
Muslims believe that Allah’s rule must govern the world in the form of a Caliphate – a theocracy. Making mockery of democracy, subverting its working, and ignoring its provisions is a Muslim’s way of falsifying what he already believes to be a sinful and false system of governance invented by the infidels.
To Muslims, Ummah-ism (international Islamism) is the legitimate form of government. Ummah-ism is another form of despotism such as the communism and fascism, with the added feature of enjoying “divine” authority.
The world has good samples of Ummah-ism in practice to scrutinize in Islamic autocracies. Khomeini of Iran is not called “Caliph.” He is called the “Supreme Guide.” The Saudi King is just another Caliph vessel of the “divine.” These Islamic despots are every bit as vile as the Hitlers, the Stalins, the Pol Pots, and the Mussolinis. The government these Islamic autocrats head is infested to the core with the Islamic disease of oppression, corruption and the absence of accountability to the people.
Democracies believe that government must be of the people, by the people, and for the people. Ummah-ism is anathema to this sacrosanct fundamental democratic ideal.
