The Myth of Peaceful, Moderate Muslims

E-mail Print PDF

There are many non-fighting members, e.g., accountants, cooks, fund-raisers, logistics specialists, medical doctors, nurses or recruiters – who may play only a passive support role. But all of them have the same ultimate goal, i.e., to defeat the enemy. Similarly, there are many ways to support jihad, besides personal violence. The peaceful Muslims we know are playing this passive support role and the ultimate goal is to conquer the world for Islam by wiping out the infidels and their civilizations.


Islam, just like the Roman God Janus, has two faces”. --  Abul Kasem

The militant Muslim is the person cutting the head of the infidel while the moderate Muslim holds the victims feet”. -- Dr. M. Sabieski

In a country when Muslims are a minority, they demand more and more privileges and rights for minorities from the host country. When their number grows by birth or immigration, they want to impose Sharia rule. When they become the majority, they start bringing death and destruction to the host nation and start ethnic cleansing. This is the worst type of disloyalty and hypocrisy.

Is not this the same what Muhammad did to the early Meccans? When he was weak, he brought down verses, which were non-violent. He even uttered some verses, which praised the pagan gods (i.e. the satanic verses) to make the Meccans happy. But when he became powerful, his darker side began to emerge and the Qur’anic verses started losing their beauty. Once he conquered Mecca, he showed his true color to everyone – either convert or die by the sword.

Though the concerned governments, such as those in the West, spend billions to protect their citizens from Islamic jihadis, the policy-makers often fail to see this point. They are making the same mistake what the early Meccans did. They realize the impact of radical Islam, but fail to pay attention to moderate Islam. Little do they understand that this so-called moderate Islam is much more dangerous than the radical Islam, because it grows and silently kills the host. It is impossible for a Muslim to live and commune with non-Islamic societies without an obligation to convert them to Islam by force or deception. Islamic jihad has many faces. Jihad is not just slaughtering people for Islam; it is also a systematic suppression of truth and propagation of lies. If not, how can the moderate Muslims boldly assert (despite hard evidence to the contrary) that Islam is a peaceful religion?

The slogan “Islam is a peaceful religion” is about 1,400 years out of date. The seed of terrorism is germinating inside every Muslim. Anyone, who has put a single grain of trust on Muhammad and his Qur’an, fills up his mind with unjustified hate and paranoia, and he is bound to have similar destructive ideas like his Prophet. The dark force of Muhammad’s narcissism immediately starts working in him.

Even after a decade into the war on Islamic terror, we often hear that Islam is a religion of peace. While those so-called peaceful Muslims use this term for obvious reasons, those, who know Islam, use this term sarcastically. Terrorism is there in every cell of Islam. Islam cannot survive without terrorism, because terrorism is the life-force of Islam. Those, who are against terrorism, have no place in Islam; they are infidels. As Habis al Saoub, in his Arabic document, entitled A Martyr’s will, quoted (Spencer, 2003, p. 23): “The Prophet Muhammad’s seventh-century assertion is that abandoning the cause of jihad is a disgraceful act tantamount to leaving the Islamic religion.

From the above quote it is very clear that jihad in the cause of God is an integral part of a Muslim’s life. Violence against non-Muslims is not a twisting of Islam, but it is repeatedly affirmed in the Qur’an, the Hadith, the examples of Muhammad, and the rulings of every school of Islamic jurisprudence. Muslim terrorists are not “hijacking” Islam; they are, in fact, restoring it. Without terrorism, Islam will suffocate and collapse in quick time. The history of Islam is a millennium long devil dance of murder, massacre, rape and plunder, trickery, treachery, tyranny and torture across the world from the day of its inception. The peaceful face of Islam is a deception. It is political Islam, which is the mask of violent Islam. As the Turkish Prime Minister commented (McCarthy, 2010, p. 39); “These descriptions are very ugly. It is offensive and an insult to our religion. There is no moderate or immoderate Islam. Islam is Islam and that’s it”.

The only difference between a peaceful Muslim and a terrorist Muslim is that terrorists are openly in action and not at all shy to make their agenda known to non-Muslims, whereas the peaceful Muslims are silently in action and hypocrite. Muslims cannot be a loyal minority, and as their numbers and strength build up, they will demand to impose Islamic laws and systems on their hosts. In fact, the Qur’an instructs them not to live as minorities, but to try to take over. Their allegiance is always to the wider world of Islam over any national boundaries. As example, a prominent American Muslim spokesman Siraj Wahaj advised the Muslims in USA (cited Spencer, 2005, p. 45): “If only Muslims were clever politically, they could take over the United States and replace its constitutional government with a caliphate.”

Islam and terrorism are blood brothers. In the wake of the two London bombings in 2005, al-Ghurabaa, one of the most radical Islamic groups in Britain, stated (Dawkins, 2006, p. 307): “Any Muslim that denies that terror is a part of Islam is kafir (nonbeliever)”. And a similar self-explanatory statement from Zakir Naik (Al-Kindy, 2005, p. 86; Downing, 2009, p. 354) is: “Every Muslim should be a terrorist”. These so-called peaceful Muslims are very calculative and proceed sophistically. As example, the influential American convert to Islam Hamza Yusuf in November 2004 exhorted Muslims to advance strategically to their goals (cited Spencer, 2006, p. 189); “There are times when you have to live like a sheep, in order to live in the future like a lion”.

This is called al-taqiyya (legal deception) in Islam, which allows Muslims to literally deny any aspect of their faith, and defined as (Richardson, 2006, p. 172), “Taqiyya is merely uttering of the tongue, while the heart is comfortable with faith.” These so-called peaceful Muslims give long speeches on human rights and democratic values and sing the peaceful verses of the Qur’an, but once Islam becomes powerful, they will start singing another tune. The fundamental concepts of human rights, developed in the West with the help of John Locke and other enlightenment thinkers, have not had any impact on Islam even to this day. Hard-line Muslims have openly admitted this fact. In January 1985, Saeed Raja’i-Khorasani, the permanent delegate to the United Nations from the Islamic Republic of Iran, declared (Spencer, 2002, p. 104): “The very concept of human rights is ‘a Judeo-Christian invention’ and inadmissible in Islam.”

The so-called peaceful Muslims would not hesitate to implement Jyzia tax on Christians and Jews, and slit the throats of Hindus, Buddhists, Sikhs, ex-Muslims, atheists and agnostics in accordance with Sharia law. Deep down, every “believer” is potentially the judge and executioner of every “nonbeliever”. After all, both the terrorists and the peaceful Muslims are working for the same cause – to dominate the world in the name of Islam.

Since the noblest goal of a Muslim is to assist Islam rule the world, these moderate Muslims shamelessly try to deceive the infidels with their twisted logic and pathological lying. They repeat the same lies again and again thinking that it would become true if often repeated. If necessary, they will distort the meaning of Qur’anic verses as per their selfish needs. Imam Ghazali said (Shienbaum & Hasan, 2006, p. 63): “Speaking is a means to achieve objectives. If a praiseworthy aim is attainable through both telling the truth and lying, it is unlawful to accomplish through lying, because there is no need for it. When it is possible to achieve such an aim by lying but not by telling the truth, it is permissible to lie if attaining the goal is permissible”. As Imam Jafar Sadiq (cited Richardson, 2006, p. 170) advised,

“One, who exposes something from our religion, is like one who intentionally kills us.”

“You belong to a religion that whosoever conceals it, Allah will honor him and whosoever reveals it, Allah will disgrace and humiliate him.”

The peaceful and the terrorist Muslims are two sides of the same coin. For a peaceful Muslim, it is very easy to become a terrorist. Hate for non-Muslims is the basic tenet of Islam and violence is the conclusion. As Ayatollah Sadegh Khalkhali, a hard-line Iranian Judge openly declared (Scott, 2002, p. 201): “Those who are against killing have no place in Islam. Our Prophet killed with his own blessed hands. Our Imam Ali killed more than seven hundred on a single day. If the survival of the faith requires the shedding of blood, we are there to perform our duty”.

So, when a so-called peaceful Muslim emerges as a terrorist, it does not involve a discrete choice to change status. Thanks to the teachings of Islam, a terrorist is lurking inside every Muslim waiting for a chance to come out. One such example (Martin, 2010, p. 195): Qur’an says, “When the sacred months have passed, slay the idolaters wherever ye find them…” (Q: 9.5). A son of Pakistani businessman was inspired by this verse and took the oath: “I state in the presence of God that I will slaughter the infidels my entire life. May God give me strength in fulfilling this oath.” Throughout the recorded history of Islam, the Qur’an, the unholiest religious book, had turned men into monsters. Muslims, generation after generation, take up the Quran’s teachings and make themselves into weapons of injustice, oppression, and domination.

Islamic terrorism is a complex phenomenon; hence, the personalities of terrorists change from person to person. It would be useless to attribute a simple and global characteristic to all of them. In Islam, terrorists can assume many different roles – only a few will actually fire the weapon or detonate the bomb or become a suicide bomber. The “personality” of a Muslim politician, or a Mullah, or a financier of Islamic terrorism, or a burqa-clad (niqab, burqa, chador – Islamic veil) illiterate Muslim woman, who gives birth to a dozen kids because a large family pleases Allah, or the simple pious bearded Muslim, who pays regular Zakat to the mosque, is different from that of an administrator, or strategist, or an assassin, or a suicide bomber. This is the essence of jihad that had been widely discussed in Islamic books on religious laws. Though some systematic differences might be discerned between those who engage in terrorism and those who do not; deep down, they have identical psychological set-up. Taylor and Quayle, the two well-known researchers of the present-age religious terrorism, concluded (1994, p. 197): “The active terrorist is not discernibly different in psychological terms from the non-terrorist; in psychological terms, there are no special qualities that characterize the terrorist.

Who can deny the fact that the radical clerics and militant community leaders are elected by these moderate Muslims? Though terrorism expert Daniel Pipes estimates that 10 to 15 percent of world’s Muslims support jihadist agenda, there are indications from various parts of the Islamic world that the actual number is much higher. During a terrorism finance trial in New York in February 2005, Bernard Haykel, an associate professor of Islamic studies at New York University, estimated that 90 percent of the Arab Muslims support Hamas – the Islamic terrorist organization that blows up buses and restaurants filled with civilians to further its goals of a Palestinian Sharia state. Dr. Imran Waheed, the London spokesman for the international “peaceful” jihadist group, Hizb ut-Tahrir, claimed in May 2005 that 99 percent of the Muslims worldwide want a caliphate to rule the world (Spencer, 2005, p. 192). These statistics confirm that those Muslims, who support terrorism, are not a tiny minority but a vast majority.

In reality, peaceful Islam does not exist. A peaceful Muslim makes as much sense as a peaceful Nazi. “Al Islam huwa al hall” (Islam is the solution) is not a slogan raised by Muslim terrorists only, but by all Muslims (Phares, 2005, p. 251). The nouns “terrorist” or “terrorists” don’t necessarily refer to everyone within a terrorist organization. In an army, not everyone carries a gun. There are many non-fighting members, e.g., accountants, cooks, fund-raisers, logistics specialists, medical doctors, nurses or recruiters – who may play only a passive support role. But all of them have the same ultimate goal, i.e., to defeat the enemy. Similarly, there are many ways to support jihad, besides personal violence. The peaceful Muslims we know are playing this passive support role and the ultimate goal is to conquer the world for Islam by wiping out the infidels and their civilizations.

"ISLAM IS A PEACEFUL RELIGION" is the best joke told since the 7th Century CE. There is never any peace in any place muslims exist. That is why they hope and wish one another "peace be within you". You will wish a poor man "get rich" but not wish a rich man "get rich".

Mohamedans are basically hypocrites or terrorists or the two faced hypocrite-cum- terrorists. History has proven that. We can see for ourselves that reality.

Realistically you can not send a minority group of immigrants into a country to take it over.

The initial terrorist attack sets up the grounds for discrimination claims,as we see with 9/11,7-7,Beslan etc.

Next You send the kinder,gentler representatives in to mix into the population and to show the majority how they are unfair,racist,bigots against their foreign beliefs.

They then become slightly aggressive demanding their religious rights,no matter how small,to begin wearing down politicians ,laws and public opinion.

By increasing immigration and mass reproduction they establish communities.

Next comes the power players,financial entanglements ,political infiltration ,conversions,mid level threats,rape terrorism ,education adjustments and constant pressure for the invaded society to adapt.

It's all down hill from there.

All socities have portions that have the same mindset as muslims : win at all costs.Unfortunately there are people who will sell their fellow country men,religion ,ideology,political views and children to win.We call them criminals,politicians ,the rich and the emotionally needy.They have few morals,many desires and can self-justify their actions.Their goal is power and money,religion is a tool to success.

Practicing Stealth Jihad

To add to this, such Muslims is doing so know very well how to dissimulate in their schemes og gaining power for Islam. In other words, this is a subtle way of subverting the Western coutries for Islam. This soft war ploy goes as far back in time as in ancient China. For example, Sun Tzu in THE BOOK OF WAR wrote "At first, then, exhibit the coyness of a maiden, untill the enemy gives you an opening; afterwards emulate the rapidity of a running hare, and it will be too late for the enemy to oppose you."

It is a religion of Peace
written by malem , December 23, 2011
From the start it has always been a religion of peace, sure there have been a few individuals who have chosen the violent path, but that is the case for All religions. Islam is a beautiful and peaceful religion where there is no compulsion to convert.

Islam's Contributions to Peace
written by Yibel , December 23, 2011
Mohammed is Allah's apostle. Those who follow him are ruthless to the unbelievers but merciful to one another. Quran 48:29

The Quran contains at least 109 verses that call Muslims to war with
nonbelievers. Some are quite graphic, with commands to chop off heads and
fingers and kill nonbelievers wherever they may be hiding. Muslims who do not join the fight are called 'hypocrites' and are repeatedly warned that Allah will send them to a torturous Hell if they do not join the slaughter.

Most of the verses of violence are open-ended and are not restrained by the historical context of the surrounding text. They are part of the eternal and unchanging word of Allah, are just as relevant or subjective as anything else in the Quran, and call for nonbelievers to be fought and subdued until they either accept humiliation (pay the jizya protection tax), convert to Islam, or are killed (usually beheaded). Some examples:

Quran 2:216, Fighting is prescribed for you, and ye dislike it. But it is possible that ye dislike a thing which is good for you, and that ye love a thing which is bad for you. But Allah knoweth, and ye know not. (Not only does this verse establish that violence can be virtuous, but it also contradicts the myth that fighting is intended only in self-defense, since the audience was obviously
not under attack at the time. From the Hadith, we know that this verse was
narrated at a time that Muhammad was actually trying to motivate his people into raiding merchant caravans for loot.

Quran 3:56, As to those who reject faith, I will punish them with terrible agony in this world and in the Hereafter, nor will they have anyone to help.

Quran 3:151, Soon shall We cast terror into the hearts of the Unbelievers, for that they joined companions with Allah, for which He had sent no authority.
(This verse speaks directly of polytheists, which also includes Christians and Jews, since Muhammad incorrectly believed they were 'joining companions to Allah')

Quran 4:74, Let those fight in the way of Allah who sell the life of this world for the other. Whoso fighteth in the way of Allah, be he slain or be he victorious, on him We shall bestow a vast reward. (Martyrs of Islam, unlike Christian martyrs, are not led meekly to the slaughter. These Muslims are
killed in battle, as they attempt to inflict death and destruction for the cause
of Allah. This is the theological basis for today's suicide bombers.)

Quran 4:104, And be not weak hearted in pursuit of the enemy (nonbelievers); if you suffer pain, then surely they (too) suffer pain as you suffer pain... (Is pursuing an injured and retreating enemy really an act of self-defense?)

Quran 8:12, I will cast terror into the hearts of those who disbelieve. Therefore strike off their heads and strike off every fingertip of them. (No
reasonable person would interpret this to mean a spiritual struggle.)

written by Yibel , December 23, 2011
O ye who believe! Fight those of the disbelievers who are near to you, and let
them find harshness in you, and know that Allah is with those who keep their
duty. Qur'an, Sura 9:123

Muhammad's own martial legacy and the remarkable stress on violence found in the Quran have resulted in a trail of blood and tears across world history for the past 1400 years.
