Religion of Peace update: No choice but Islam

Posted 09 Jul 2007 in intolerance, Islam, jihadists, political correctness, Religion of Peace update, terrorism

Things like this continue to make me wonder just which Islam is the true faith: The millions who call for worldwide jihad and domination or murder of all non-Muslims as directed in the Qur’an, the millions whose silently ride along, or the few who advocate a live-and-let-live ideology. (h/t: Crush Liberalism)

Muslims declare sovereignty over U.S., UK
Across town from the site of the recent attempted car-bomb attacks, several thousand Muslims gathered in front of the London Central Mosque to applaud fiery preachers prophesying the overthrow of the British government – a future vision that encompasses an Islamic takeover of the White House and the rule of the Quran over America.

“One day my dear Muslims,” shouted Anjem Choudary, “Islam will govern Britain!”
…
The Muslim leader’s charge, along with interviews with protesters and a “literal foaming-at-the-mouth” diatribe by another speaker, were captured on tape June 22 by nationally syndicated talk radio host Rusty Humphries.
…
For Humphries, the response of the Muslims at Islam’s largest house of worship in the UK was telling.

“Not one said, ‘You’re not speaking for me’ or ‘Not in my name.’ They stood there and watched and applauded,” he told WND.
…
The Muslim leader said he does not believe in democracy and insists there is no such thing as freedom of religion, “because freedom is an absolute term.”

“Are we to say that Muslims can fully practice religion in America,” he asked in an attempt to explain. “Say, for instance, I was a Muslim in America. Could I call for the destruction of the American government and establishment of an Islamic state in America? No. So where is the freedom of religion? There is none.”

Humphries asked: “Do you call for that?”

“Of course,” he replied, “we want Islam to be a source of governance for all of mankind. And we also believe that one day America will be ruled by Islam.”
…
“There’s nothing we can do to be friends?” Humphries asked.

Abu Saif replied: “There is something you can do to be friends. You can become Muslim.”

This is precisely the kind of irrational Islamist ideology I can’t abide. Sadly, it’s getting to the point where annihilation of those who put forth this kind of venom will be an act of self defense. When somebody continuously picks up the phone and calls you to tell you that they’re going to murder you and your family, how long do you wait before you take their threats seriously? And how do you go about protecting yourself?

Every religion – even atheism – believes they are correct and all others have it wrong. That’s inherent in having a belief structure; you think you know the way, thus your choice. But there’s only one religion out there right now that demands all others convert or die.

Youssef Ibrahim at The New York Sun rolls up his sleeves and tackles the problem:

The latest batch of attacks by Islamic terrorists raised fresh concerns among Muslims over what they fear may be “heinous attempts” to link terror with Islam.

British Muslims, who number 1.6 million, are reportedly funding advertising campaigns across Britain that proclaim Islam is “the religion of peace” — in the process also implicitly warning fellow Britons against criticizing their faith.

Yet a year ago, a weighty Muslim writer and pundit, Abdelrahman Al Rashed, manager of the pan-Arab TV network Al-Arabiya Television, famously launched a stormy debate when he opined, “While all Muslims are not terrorists, all terrorists are now Muslims.”

Ever since, the question among Muslim scholars and activists is precisely how much of the terror inspired by Islam is due to the faith itself — and how much is due to the way it is being preached.
…
But as hundreds of thousands of people from New York to Baghdad are butchered under Islam’s banners, failing to tackle it head-on is unacceptable.

Reasonable Muslims now agree that when a religion veers so far off course, it loses immunity to inquisition. “We ought to go through very serious questioning and soul-searching,” a founder of the Muslim Public Affairs Council, Dr. Maher Hathout, wrote on “The American Muslim” Web site Thursday. “How did we, as a group, fail to nip this ugly phenomenon in the bud?” he asks. “How did we indulge in the luxury of theoretical debates, and craft all kinds of euphemisms to let this go on, spill out, and grow?”

There’s much more, and it’s well worth reading.
