True Islam Unmasked
February 06, 2006
Barbara J. Stock
The Islamic Pandora's Box has been opened and no amount of energy
spent trying to push the true face of Islam back in will be
successful. The inherent violence, intolerance, and inbred anger of
Islam is now out for all to see. The world is watching and the
"handful of terrorists who have high-jacked a peaceful religion"
doesn't pass the "laugh test" any longer.
An Islamic mob of over 500 marched through the streets of
Knightsbridge, England, chanting, "Massacre those who insult Islam!"
and issued warnings of further terror attacks by screaming, "Britain,
you will pay, 7/7 on its way." Embassies have been burned. Nearly
50,000 Muslims took to the streets in Sudan chanting, ""We are ready
to die in defense of you our beloved prophet." A Catholic priest has
been killed, and churches burned. These people are not "terrorists,"
but supposedly the average peace-loving Muslim. It doesn't seem take
much to turn a "peaceful" Muslim into a rampaging killer.
All of this chaos and destruction is over a few editorial cartoons.
The threats of kidnappings, riots, and boycotts are coming from
Muslims all over the world. Diplomatic action against Denmark has been
recommended by the Egyptian ambassador. Muslims in Norway are trying
to pass laws that anything short of praise for Islam should be
considered blasphemy and severely punished. The Council on
American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) felt it had the right to dictate to
the president of the United States concerning which terms would be
acceptable when referring to Islam in the State of the Union Address.
Islamic hysteria is in full voice to bend the world to Islam's will.
Of course, Islam never considers as blasphemy the daily insults to
Jews or Christians. Papers all over the Middle East and on the Islamic
web sites display cartoons depicting Jews and Christians as pigs and
monkeys and as murderous infidels butchering children with swords in
the shape of a swastika. Cartoons showing the attack on America on
9/11 are very popular. Apparently, the death of 3000 people is not
something Islam finds offensive.
Muslims lose touch with reality after being brought to a fever pitch
by the imams and mullahs, especially during Friday prayers. Men often
explode out of the mosque looking for someone to kill to ease their
Islamic rage against an infidel world. Muslims feel Islam has been
slighted and the world must pay. If these raging Muslims can't find
the guilty person to punish, any non-Muslim in their path will do.
What constitutes an insult to Islam? Basically, any non-Muslim is an
insult to Islam. If someone does not believe that Mohammed was a
prophet, that is considered an insult in Islam. Uttering any doubts
that the Quran is not a perfect book written by God through Mohammed,
is considered an insult to Islam. Depicting any picture of Mohammed is
considered an insult to Islam. It doesn't take much to trigger mass
hysteria and Islamic mobs screaming, "Death to the world."
The artists who made the editorial cartoons that have set off this
hate-fest are now in hiding, fearing that they will end up as Theo Van
Gogh who had his throat slit and a knife left sticking out of his
chest on a public street in broad daylight. Islam will not forget.
These cartoonists are now dead-men-walking and they know that carefree
walks in park are now a thing of the past.
An interesting twist is that a Jordanian newspaper also published the
cartoons and the editor was promptly arrested. Mr. Momani stated that
he wanted Muslims to stop and think about how the world is now viewing
Islam. The poor man asked the leaders of Islam to be reasonable. As a
Muslim himself, he should have known better. This brave editor
pleaded: "What brings more prejudice against Islam, these caricatures
or pictures of a hostage-taker slashing the throat of his victim in
front of the cameras or a suicide bomber who blows himself up during a
wedding ceremony in Amman?"
As a Muslim, Mr. Momani should have realized that in the eyes of Islam
the beheaders and bombers are heroes who praise Allah with their good
work. But a cartoon with Mohammed claiming paradise is running out of
virgins is an unforgivable sin. Butchers of innocent hostages are held
in high esteem in Islam but a leader in the new Hamas government of
the Palestinians had this to say to an Italian paper about the
cartoons: "The cartoonists should be punished by death."
Let's summarize. Slit a man's throat in the name of Allah for no
reason at all-good work and Allah is pleased. Draw a cartoon about
Islam-this is punishable by death. That, in a nutshell, is Islam.
The Syrian government has claimed that all the destruction could have
been avoided if the Danish government had apologized for the terrible
sin against Islam. While the paper that originally publish the
cartoons has done just that, the Danish government refuses to cave in
to Islamic threats. Nor should they.
In truth, no one should cower because of Islamic threats. The Danes
have done nothing to apologize for and should stand their ground as
should all the countries who have published the cartoons. In fact, The
Danes and every country around the world should continue to publish
them to show the world's solidarity against Islam and for freedom of
speech. Sooner or later, the daily staged rage-riots will exhaust
Islam and force it to realize that Islam does not give orders to the
world.
If there is anything good to come from all of the fury Islamics have
put on full display for the world, it is that passive people,
especially those in Europe, have now been witness to true Islam. We
have all seen the terrorist arm of Islam while the gullible continued
to cling to the idea that Islam is peaceful and accepting and
tolerant. It is none of those things. Islam demands acceptance while
accepting nothing. Islam demands tolerance while giving none. Islam
claims it only wants peace in the world while starting wars and
rioting and killing at the slightest perceived insult. Horrified
Islamic religious leaders will attempt to downplay the violence
knowing Islam has exposed its hateful nature, but it is too late.
At last, true Islam has shown its face to the world, and this time the
world was watching.
