The following thread has garnered a lot of attention here on ATS, and highlights a terrible event which cannot be justified:
World silent as Muslim massacre goes on in Myanmar
Moderators, please allow this thread to stand by the merit of the references drawn at the end, which are legitimate Islamic doctrine, taken straight
from the Koran. I do not encourage violence against anyone, and would never encourage people to take action into their own hands. I am simply trying
to make clear the point that Islam, in its original and unadulterated nature, was an instruction in the direction and purposes of warmongering efforts
as much as it was a religion. I also make clear that Moderate Muslims are to be applauded for their valiant efforts at defying the reams of hateful
instruction found within the pages of the Koran.
I deplore any orchestration of bloodshed on any scale, and am not siding with the perpetrators in the Myanmar incident linked in the thread above.
The tone of the above-linked thread is what caused me to want to write this thread now, though it has been on my mind for some time. I am not
suggesting any cause-and-effect relationship of any sort, and would have ended up writing this thread anyway, even without the prompting of the
Myanmar incident.
So, without further ado...
The Western world has bought into a shedload of propaganda concerning Islam, and it is all too apparent that we are ready to believe the best about
the 'religion of peace', without considering the actual facts.
Something has become brutally clear in recent years. Our leaders are jumping up and down to be counted as 'tolerant' and as ambassadors for
religious freedom, and both they, and simpering members of multi-faith groups are quick to label Islam as a 'religion of peace'.
However, Islam in itself, in its literal and true form, is not a religion of peace. The scriptures of the Koran openly promote violence against all
who are not Muslim, with explicit instructions regarding the need for ongoing conquest and subjection of all who are not in submission to Islam (in
fact, 'Islam' literally means 'submission').
Islam is questionably not even a religion, as the word is properly understood. It is unique, in that it claims to be a totalitarian spiritual and
materialistic revelation to Mankind. It is a total life-system, with its own political aims and its own judicial practices (Sharia law - for example,
a woman who testifies that she has been raped can legitimately be stoned to death for adultery)... In the religious sense, God is claimed to be
unknowable, and so prayer is not an intimate time of personal reflection, but is rather the repetition by rote en-masse of loosely fixed mantras.
Any deviation from the largely materialistic precepts laid out in the pages of the Koran is considered blasphemous. That is why hardline Muslims will
quite often kill their more moderate counterparts. Moderate Muslims only succeed in being 'moderate' (they are to be applauded for this), because
they ignore the more hateful commands in the Koran.
Do not be in any doubt that in the unabridged form of Islam, you are considered an enemy worthy of death if you:
a) Are a Muslim who does not obey every single Islamic precept..
b) Are a Christian..
c) Are Jewish..
d) Are in favour of non-Islamic means of governance, such as democracy..
e) Are a Buddhist..
f) Are a Sufi mystic..
g) Are a Hindu
(add any other religion that comes to mind)..
h) Are an atheist..
i) Are homosexual..
ETC.
Basically, in the true application of the Koran's dictates, you are worthy of death unless you entirely submit to Islam. Entirely.
Here is a list of hardline Islamic violence as perpetrated in the ongoing global Jihad in recent days.
The past thirty days, in
fact.
In summary - it is right to be appalled at the way in which Muslims in Myanmar are being massacred.
However, it is wise to understand the wider social context, and to consider the actual precepts of Islam - that as a result of the actual text, there
are serious social issues arising from a fundamental application of Islamic doctrine. These issues will never go away by mere 'tolerance', or
committee meetings to determine how best to promote 'inclusivity'.
The Koran is clear - nothing but subjection for and submission to the rule of Islam will satisfy the conditions of Islamic foreign policy.
Jihad has been proclaimed since the day Mohammed received the Koranic scripture. And it will not stop, until the inverted morality of the 'religion
of peace' is recognised en-masse by those in its snare, and those who are targeted in its line-of-sight.
Here are some quotes from the Koran which emphasise my point clearly:
"...make war on the leaders of unbelief...Make war on them: God will chastise them at your hands and humble them. He will grant you victory over
them..." (Surah 9:12-)
"Make war on them until idolatry shall cease and God's religion shall reign supreme." (Surah 8:36-)
"Fight against such as those to whom the Scriptures were given [Jews and Christians]...until they pay tribute out of hand and are utterly
subdued." (Surah 9:27-)
"Prophet make war on the unbelievers and the hypocrites and deal rigorously with them. Hell shall be their home." (Surah 9:73)
"Believers, make war on the infidels who dwell around you. Deal firmly with them." (Surah 9:121-)
"Muhammad is God's apostle. Those who follow him are ruthless to the unbelievers but merciful to one another." (Surah 48:29)
