Terror Arrests and the “Misunderstood” Religion

E-mail Print PDF

Another terror arrest in the U.S., this time at Boston: Tarek Mehanna, a Muslim, plotted to attack Shopping Malls to kill large number of Americans. And Muslims are shrilling, reminding the infidels not to link his case to Islamic teaching. He's another misunderstander of Islam.


From Frontpage Magazine on 22 Oct., 2009. 

Mehanna

Today we have yet another terror-related arrest of a Muslim, Tarek Mehanna, who was plotting jihad terror attacks against U.S. shopping malls. But Americans are told to never link that to Islamic teachings.

Committed Muslims insist that Islam is misunderstood by the West. Sensitivity training to Islam is forced upon U.S. government employees and teachers. They are told that Islam has nothing to do with terrorism, implying that if they believe their eyes, ears and common sense, then they must be Islamophobes.

Muslim propaganda is cleverly wrapped in illogical strategies to get the Westerners confused about their own perceptions of Islam. For centuries Muslims lived with unchallenged, warped logic regarding their religion. Instead of examining non-Muslim fear of Muslim violence and oppression encouraged by Muslim scriptures, Muslims are trained to regard such complaints as an attack Islam itself.

I have no doubt in my mind that when Dalia Mogahed, White House advisor on Islamic issues, really means it when says that Sharia is misunderstood. Like her, early in my life as a Muslim, I believed the same. That is how we were trained to accept our destiny under Sharia which turned us into robots ruled by fear, intimidation and warped logic.

Women are told they have been liberated by Islam because pre-Islamic society used to kill new born girls. Islam stopped that. We were told that before Islam came, men could marry an unlimited amount of women and slave girls. Then Islam came and limited the number to 4. We were told that women were not able to hold property before Islam. Then Islam came and gave us that right and the right not to share our property even with our husbands.

The absence of community property between husband and wife in Islam is sold as a benefit when it really is the result of polygamy, where women have to protect their inheritance from being shared by other wives and by a husband who does not want to share his wealth. “What a great deal,” we Muslim women thought. Day in and day out we had to thank Allah for Islam that stopped our murder at birth. We had to thank Allah for being supported by husbands in a society that crippled us and did not allow us to get out of the house without our husband’s permission.

Just as Muslim women are indoctrinated into believing that Islam saved them from murder at birth, Muslims are trying to convince the West that they too have nothing to fear from Islam. Thus we see the sensitivity training of Westerners who are expected to never blame Muslim teachings for terrorism. Westerners deep fear of being called racist has been transferred to fear of being called an Islamophobe. Thus, if the definition of Jihad in Muslim scriptures states that Jihad means “to war with non-Muslims to establish the religion,” the West should not misunderstand the word ‘war’ to be aggression. If Muslim scriptures clearly state that an apostate must be killed immediately and their killers will not be punished, then we must not take the word ‘kill’ at face value. If Muslim scriptures say that women are deficient in intellect and religion and must not be trusted, we should not take that seriously. Thus connecting Muslim commandments to kill and war with Islamic terror and violence is an act of Islamophobia that must be punished as a hate crime.

We are still told that the West simply misunderstands Islam. Even after constant and persistent acts of Muslim terror against the West, we are told with deep sincerity, not to be afraid of Islam even if Muslims are holding the Qur’an in one hand and decapitating non-Muslims with another. The message of Islam to kill kafirs and apostates is so unreal and unimaginable to the Western mind that some Westerners actually are convinced it can’t be true and that no religion can openly advocate such violence and stay respected by the international community.

It must be us, in the West, who do not understand Islam because the alternative is unimaginable. But the unimaginable has survived and thrived for 1400 years and it is still going strong with full force with the support of petro-dollars and facilitated by Western do-gooders.

Editor’s note: To get he whole story on the reality of Sharia, buy Nonie Darwish’s new book, Cruel and Usual Punishment.

Nonie Darwish is a Palestine-born former Muslim and the founder for Arabs for Israel and Former Muslim United. Her other book is: Now the Call Me Infidel.

Islam is a filthy lie ,a BIG FILTHY LIE! If women got property rights only after islam came into being in Arabia ,then how come Khadija ,the first wife of Muhamad the fake prophet of islam, had property and was owning and running a business on her own ??? After the advent of islam ,women in Arabia were reduced to sex-slaves and subjected to humiliatiions. Take for example, in Saudi Arabia, a woman cannot drive a car, go out without a male accomplice who should be either her father,husband or brother , a woman cannot hold public office , a woman cannot stand for any elected office ,a woman cannot proveide any witness to a crime as her worth is just half of that of a man, and so on. Islam has denigrated women to a lower species ,no better than beasts of burden bearing men's children,doing household chores and waiting on hand for the husband to take a sexual fling whenever he wants to.

Islam is nothing but a primitive barbarian ,mafia cult with no conscience or morals ,except male chauviism and treachery at every turn. It is a filthy cult that finds favour with anyone having criminal tendencies. A psychopath would rejoice in such a filthy cult, not any civilised and rational human being ,for even in their socalled 'islamic paradise' it is just sexual perversion,drinking and debauching with 72 "whores" provided by that imaginary pimp called Allah! This Allah is just a figment of Muhamad's imagination taken from the pantheon of pre-islamic arabian deities to suit his attrocious and immoral lifestyle.

Americans should call the bluffs of the islamist there and tell them in no uncertain terms what islam actually means and put those double-dealing bastards like CAIR,etc in their place.

islam
written by Azmi , October 23, 2009
If you are a muslim you are bound to be totally blind to reality. I know this because I used to be one. It is really sad that most muslim women really believe that they are given a better place in the society because of Islam. They do not feel that the Koran and Muhammad's sayings tell entirely a different story. Muslim women should find out what their religion says about their rights instead of listening to male Imams and Sheikhs and Mullahs. Women in Kuwait are fighting and winning. Now they can have their own passport and travel freely. And they are fighting against other discriminations like wearing the veil etc. All muslim women should fight for their rights.

ya allah the bulla....women travel freely....they will become whores.

its an entirely different story if arab men travel to india,pakistan,bangladesh,europe,and have temporary marriage with young girls or simply make out with non muzlim women and then break the marriage or pay the prostitutes and go back having satisfyed their sexual desire.

but women shud be kept under control,and must be oppressed,this is true islam.

I'm am glad to see the women in Kuwait have found a brief respite from the normal oppression. I say brief because this will not last. It will revert back again.

Too many women do not understand that Islam can and will not be reformed. Any small gain will once again be taken away, with violence if necessary. There is only one solution.

Same thing in Iran. These brave people will lose even if they win. Why? Because the problem is not in who is the leader. The problem is having Islam in the country. They will only find disappointment until they finally recognize what their real problem is.

written by i agree with u....here is 1 ex , October 23, 2009
i agree,here is 1 example.

i am an ex muzzie,ex-sunni muzzie.i live in india.

i had convienced a family to leave islam,and they
became token muslims,as they cud not leave islam
totally,since they live in a muslim area.

the people around them started taunting them especially during ramzan etc and some even started to pass lewd comments against the family and
girls.

finally they had to leave that area and live in a cosmopolitan area,where ppl r happy to be friendly to them,they r non muzzie.

so as long as u r surrounded by muzzies u r not free.

they did finally leave islam,and now r free.

but the point is even if 1 muzzie exists he can contaminate entire humanity.

like 1 aids virus is enuf to kill humans by multiplying and destroying the healthy body.

did allah teach adam names of all things ????
written by did allah teach adam names of , October 23, 2009
Surah 2: Science and History

And He taught Adam all the names."
Allah taught Adam all the names of the plants and animals, which must have taken a while since there are 1.7 million species that are known today, with probably another 10 million or so that are yet to be discovered. And this only includes those that are alive today. If extinct species are included (~99%), then Allah must have taught Adam a billion or so names. 2:31

just another misunderstander
written by duh_swami , October 23, 2009
He's another misunderstander of Islam.

It would seem that the only people who do understand Islam are kufrs...Muslims can't seem to make up their minds about their own religion...They have some basics down, but the rest is chaos...Non comprehension, leads to mis comprehension which leads to confusion...This confusion ends with abandoning misunderstanding, and joining kufr, by apostasy...Sometimes called 'enlightenment'...

Ex-muslims are best hope
written by Fahid , October 23, 2009
Many non-muslims living a comfortable life , have no idea what Islam is. They cant even immagine that there is a cult islam, which want them dead and have there women, children as sex slave as 'right hand possession'. Whether the non-muslim is a christian, atheist, hindu, buddhist, they consider Islam as like any other normal religion having there own god and so harmless. But they dont know that this god is created by a lunatic, who sold sex, violence and deception and have 50 % of the teachings for killing, harming etc for non-muslims.
The ex-muslims and non-muslims who stayed in islamic majority areas and countries know in and out of this inhuman fanatic cult. Hope many muslims will understand what is 'morality', 'humanity', 'love', care is and leave this cult and work with non-muslims to make earth a better place to live.

I agree with you.As a famous Christian scholar once stated about the Quran,In the communities of the world ,the muslims are people that have tried hard to understand their holy book,but as much they have tried, the less they have understood.Kafirs have tried less but they understand better.In the last fifteen centuries, Muslim scholars did not leave any particular formula behind so that they understand the Quran,they still behave like children at their first day at school.

Ms. Darwish would know
written by Kohi , October 24, 2009
I have read both of Ms. Darwish's books and the lady knows about what she speaks. Islam is a curse upon all humans.

If a muzzie told me the sky was blue I would have to look up.

Muslims in India always used this tactic against Hindu girls. Lately, Hindus in Gujarat reacted to such tactics. Journalists sympathetic to the Muslims in Indian Press demonised the Hindus who resisted. They portrayed them as villains who stood in the path of true love.

Now, in Kerala, Muslims have started using this against Christian girls. The Malyalee (Keralite) are a powerful lot and they also own mainstream media. There are also many Christians in media who are quite sensitive and vocal about Christian interests, which is why the issue is NOW getting attention when Christian girls are targeted..

Anyway, better late than never.

Muslims Figuring Islam Out
written by Defining Islam , October 25, 2009
Here are Muslims trying to not misunderstand Islam:

Who Speaks for Islam
http://www.linktv.org/wsfi

"...WHO SPEAKS FOR ISLAM hosted by Ray Suarez, a series exploring Islam in an age when Muslim extremists are laying claim to the religion. As Suarez interviews an elite panel of researchers, scholars, Hollywood producers and actors, they debate — and often debunk – preconceived notions about Islamic law, the status of women in predominantly Muslim countries, attitudes about free speech and democracy, and portrayals of Muslims in Hollywood."

The question is how accurate are they and how influential in the ummah.

Misunderstood- but where?
written by lw1 , October 26, 2009
Is Islam misunderstood in Pakistan and Iraq (which is patrolled by Iraqi forces in cities and towns) or Somalia where Muslims are killing Muslims? Why did Muslim Council of Great Britain issue a fatwa to say that suicide bombing is 'haram'? (sinful)

Well, you think it is harder to god, who is most powerful, to teach Adam the name of everything, not only living but matter and inventions of the modern ages, but you don't find it difficult for your grandparents to be monkies who evolved to homo sapiens. How convincing!!

Misunderstood? ha ha ha ......
written by ha ha ha ...... , November 03, 2009
Is the ayah in sura 4:86 telling to kill non moslem a misunderstanding?

If islam is the best religoion, why should moslem afraid of other religion, especially Christian?

If islam is so good, why many moslem still try to proof that it is better than other religion?

There is no misundertanding here. We all understand, that islam is no religion of peace. Islam is the religion of terror even to other moslem, not to say to other religions. Mohammad is the apostle of syaithan. He is the incarnation of Lucifer hiding in a prophet mask. ha ha ha ......
