MBVD: Huckabee

I have, this morning, sent emails to these aspirants to the Presidency , challenging them to denounce the damnable doctrines of Islam which prompted the Abomination of 09/11/01.

Hillary Rodham Clinton
Mike Gravel
Mike Huckabee
Jesse Johnson
Alan L. Keyes
John McCain
Cynthia A. McKinney
Kent P. Mesplay
Ralph Nader
Barack Obama
Ron E. Paul
Kat Swift

I sent those emails through www.congress.org, with a single click. If I can do it, so can you; why not echo my message? Use this link.

Who can possess this knowledge of Moe's murder cult without cursing and condemning it? No person so hungry for power that he will abstain from condemning Islam for fear of alienating a minority of voters is worthy of my vote. If he won't name the enemy, neither will he effectively combat the enemy.

I therefore issue this challenge to the Presidential aspirants:

Do you specifically & explicitly reject & denounce the following listed Islamic doctrines concerning conquest, terrorism & genocide?

Muslims are obligated to fight, Jihad is mandatory, not optional.
2:216. Jihâd (holy fighting in Allâh's Cause) is ordained for you (Muslims) though you dislike it, and it may be that you dislike a thing which is good for you and that you like a thing which is bad for you. Allâh knows but you do not know.
Muslims are commanded to fight Pagans until only Allah is worshiped.
8:39. And fight them until there is no more Fitnah (disbelief and polytheism: i.e. worshipping others besides Allâh) and the religion (worship) will all be for Allâh Alone [in the whole of the world ]. But if they cease (worshipping others besides Allâh), then certainly, Allâh is All-Seer of what they do.
Muslims are commanded to fight "people of the book" until they are subjugated and pay extortion.
9:29. Fight against those who (1) believe not in Allâh, (2) nor in the Last Day, (3) nor forbid that which has been forbidden by Allâh and His Messenger (4) and those who acknowledge not the religion of truth (i.e. Islâm) among the people of the Scripture (Jews and Christians), until they pay the Jizyah with willing submission, and feel themselves subdued.
Our lives and property are not sacred to Muslims until we become Muslims.
Sahih Bukhari Volume 1, Book 8, Number 387:
Narrated Anas bin Malik:
Allah's Apostle said, "I have been ordered to fight the people till they say: 'None has the right to be worshipped but Allah.' And if they say so, pray like our prayers, face our Qibla and slaughter as we slaughter, then their blood and property will be sacred to us and we will not interfere with them except legally and their reckoning will be with Allah."[...]
Muslims obtain salvation; escape from Hellfire and obtain admission to Paradise by participating in Jihad.
61:10. O You who believe! Shall I guide you to a commerce that will save you from a painful torment.

61:11. That you believe in Allâh and His Messenger (Muhammad ), and that you strive hard and fight in the Cause of Allâh with your wealth and your lives, that will be better for you, if you but know!

61:12. (If you do so) He will forgive you your sins, and admit you into Gardens under which rivers flow, and pleasant dwelling in Gardens of 'Adn Eternity ['Adn (Edn) Paradise], that is indeed the great success.
Muhammad's admission to Paradise was dependent on genocide: making a great slaughter.
8:67. It is not for a Prophet that he should have prisoners of war (and free them with ransom) until he had made a great slaughter (among his enemies) in the land. You desire the good of this world (i.e. the money of ransom for freeing the captives), but Allâh desires (for you) the Hereafter. And Allâh is All-Mighty, All-Wise.
Allah sanctified, commanded and Muhammad practiced and bragged about terrorism.

3:151. We shall cast terror into the hearts of those who disbelieve, because they joined others in worship with Allâh, for which He had sent no authority; their abode will be the Fire and how evil is the abode of the Zâlimûn (polytheists and wrongdoers).

8:12. (Remember) when your Lord inspired the angels, "Verily, I am with you, so keep firm those who have believed. I will cast terror into the hearts of those who have disbelieved, so strike them over the necks, and smite over all their fingers and toes."

33:26. And those of the people of the Scripture who backed them (the disbelievers) Allâh brought them down from their forts and cast terror into their hearts, (so that) a group (of them) you killed, and a group (of them) you made captives.

Sahih Bukhari Volume 4, Book 52, Number 220:

Narrated Abu Huraira:

Allah's Apostle said, "I have been sent with the shortest expressions bearing the widest meanings, and I have been made victorious with terror (cast in the hearts of the enemy)

Hussein: what's the big deal? That name is an honorific, after Husayn ibn 'Ali ibn Abi Talib, grandson of Moe, who was martyred at Karbala in 680. When ranks of Shi'ia cut & flagellate themselves in the streets, they are commemorating his death.

Barack means blessed, similar to the Jewish name: Baruch. The infant son of an American atheist and an African Muslim, allegedly an apostate, was given those names, which indicate Islamic origin. The big deal is this: Senator Obama claims to be Christian, not Muslim. What difference would it make if is Muslim?

Muslims are obligated to raise their children as Muslims and instruct them in the tenets & rituals of Islam. [See Reliance of the Traveler, Book a4.6.] Instructing them is necessary to save them from Hellfire.

Muslims are obligated to obey Allah and his Messenger. [Reliance, Book B7.3] What did Allah order them to do? Most important to us are his orders to:

Using the Senator's full name is considered to be an implication that he is, in fact a Muslim, and as such, inimical to the interests of this nation.

Is there any indication of his leanings in his public statements? From Wikipedia:

At a meeting with Palestinian students two days later, Obama stated opposition to Hamas in favor of rival party Fatah, noting his desire to "consolidate behind a single government with a single authority that can then negotiate as a reliable partner with Israel." In a comment aimed at Hamas, he said that "the US will always side with Israel if Israel is threatened with destruction.

What is the strategic difference between Hamas & Fatah? Which one does not use violence? Which one does not give high praise to shaheed? Which one does not demand the erasure of Israel? Which one does not incite terrorism? Which one is not Muslim? The leader of Fatah was the bag man at the Munich Massacre; some moderate!

...on March 11, 2007, Obama said that "if we could get some movement among Palestinian leadership, what I'd like to see is a loosening up of some of the restrictions on providing aid directly to the Palestinian people.

On March 11, 2007 Obama said: "Nobody is suffering more than the Palestinian people."^[48] On June 4, 2007 Obama stated that "resolution [to the conflict] and a better life for all people" "is something that can be achieved, but it's going to require some soul-searching on the Palestinian side. They have to recognize Israel's right to exist; they have to renounce violence and terrorism as a tool to achieve their political ends; they have to abide by agreements. In that context, I think the Israelis will gladly say, 'Let's move forward negotiations that would allow them to live side by side with the Palestinians in peace and security.'"^[49]

Were Senator Barack Hussein Obama not a Muslim, his statements about Iran, Darfur and the Armenian Massacre would bring down upon him universal condemnation from Muslims, as would his superficial appearance of support for Israel.

Because he is in favor of the "road map", we know that his 'support' for Israel is not genuine. Demanding concessions to Islam in exchange for empty promises is not support!!

Because of his urge to pull out of Iraq and abandon it to al-Qaeda, it is obvious that he sides with our enemy in the global war on terror. Iraq would replace Afghanistan as the staging area for new attacks prompted by the Qur'anic commands listed above. Terrorism would only increase as a result of our demonstrated weakness and lack of resolve, as it did when we fled Tehran, Beirut & Mogadishu.

Were Senator Barack Hussein Obama a genuine convert to Christianity, Muslims the world over would be howling for his head. Apostasy carries a death sentence. Again, I quote from Reliance

O8.1

When a person who has reached puberty and is sane voluntarily apostatizes from Islam, he deserves to be killed.

O8.2

In such a case, it is obligatory for the caliph (A: or his representive) to ask him to repent and return to Islam. If he does, it is accepted from him, but if he refuses, he is immediately killed.

Why then does Senator Barack Hussein Obama have Muslim supporters?

From Belief Net:

This year, the bulk of Muslim support is likely to go to Democratic Sen. Barack Obama of Illinois, said Mukit Hossain, a political consultant to the Muslim American Society, which has taken a leading role in mobilizing Muslim Americans to vote and be active in political life.

Obama, whose Kenyan relatives include Muslims and who lived in majority-Muslim Indonesia as a child, has courted Muslim voters, saying he would be more understanding of their concerns because of his background.

If he is not now and never was Muslim, why would Senator Barack Hussein Obama "be more understanding of their concerns because of his background"? And what difference would that understanding make? Would he reverse Shrub's paltry & superficial security measures? Would he prosecute the war effectively or would he surrender to Islam?

If he is a Christian, not a Muslim, let him stand and recite the Nicene Creed. Let him declare Jesus Christ crucified, dead & resurrected as his savior. Let him expressly abjure Islam's evil imperatives to conquest, genocide & terror as laid down in :

2:216
8:12
8:39
8:67
9:29
47:4

Let him expressly abjure the explicit declarations of those commands found in Ibn Kathir's Tafsir, as outlined in my blog post: ROPMA.

At the same time, I want to hear Senator John McCain, Senator Hillary Clinton and Governor Mike Huckabee acknowledge the existence of those same immutable Islamic doctrines and denounce them as inimical to human life & liberty.

Islam is neither a religion nor peaceful; it is a war machine. I disrespectfully demand that anyone seeking my vote for high office acknowledge that fact! I can not place trust in anyone who refuses.

Blue, underlined text in my posts is linked to source material. Click the links and see the true nature of Islam, exposed by authentic sources. When I declare that Islam is a war machine, I am not engaging in hyperbole, I am stating a proven fact. The Tafsir titles revealed in ROPMA clearly demonstrate the true nature of Islam. Click those titles and see Ibn Kathir's combination of Qur'an & Hadith quotes which make things abundantly clear, beyond dispute. The orders and commands to fight disbelievers are explicit & indisputable.

For the doubters, I have one more surprise: a Swedish forum called FOMI where a poster has published copious quotes from Islamic Jurists. Revelation, tradition, exegesis & Fiqh form a congruent pattern, which reinforces the truth which is obvious on the face of the revelations.

In perusing the headlines at memeorandum today, there was quite a bit of a stir about a comment Huckabee made regarding gays.

The comment causing such a stir from Meet the Press:

MR. RUSSERT: But when you say aberrant or unnatural, do you believe you're born gay or you choose to be gay?

GOV. HUCKABEE: I don't know whether people are born that way. People who are gay say that they're born that way. But one thing I know, that the behavior one practices is a choice.

It's very clear to me, in this instance, Huckabee is talking about personal choices and how one implements their own personal, behavior choices.

However, in an article entitled "No Sex For You", author Steve Benen, guest posting at Washington Monthly, descends immediately to sex--he sets up the strawman Huckabee is telling gays they have to be celibate. To quote:

I see. So, Huckabee doesn't actually care if someone is gay, he cares whether or not gays are celibate.

And here I thought his years of bizarre criticism of the gay community were a sign of intolerance. I've clearly misjudged him.

The comments section of this article get even sillier, with the "best" (tongue firmly planted in cheek) being this one:

Bruce:

You hit the nail on the head. I was wondering the same about mandatory English requirement everyone wants to impose on new immigrants. How free are we as a country if people have to be forced to learn another language?

Republicans love to talk about "freedom" but when you look at their policies you will quickly find out that they want to impose control on individual freedoms while liberating corporations from the burden of accountability. It boils down to freedom for the wealthy to do as they please.

From there, we go to Jeff Fecke at Shakespeare's Sister--his article name is "Sorry Homosexuals, No Sex For You"--same Huckabee quote:

Mike Huckabee thinks that God may have made homosexuals the way they are, and therefore, you'd best keep your legs crossed until death

and

For the record, shooting at reporters is perfectly cromulent behavior. Having sex with someone of the same sex as you? Awful. To be fair, Huckabee thinks all sex outside of marriage is sinful. He just doesn't think homosexuals should be able to ever get married. At least to each other.

The best comment from this place is here:

Unless they're publicly fornicating, how does Huckabee determine what their chosen behaviors are? Or is it like that WMD thing, you make a guess, condemn, and punish on the basis of what the judges imagine?

Man, this bigotry stuff needs to come with better instructions.
Kevin Hayden | Homepage | 12.30.07 - 7:15 pm | #

So. We see how someone commenting on what a person chooses to do in their own life can be completely twisted to fit someone else's agenda.

Nowhere did Huckabee take the comment to the sexual level. He was commenting on the choices people make--and putting responsibility for those choices squarely on the person themselves.

This is where the right and left have a significant divergence--the left has no concept of personal responsibility, no concept of personal accountability for their choices and actions. It's always someone else's fault: they were "born" that way, they "couldn't help themselves", they're "sick" and need another pill, or whatever--anything possible they can think of to excuse their personal choices and actions and attempt to exonerate their personal responsibility for those choices and actions.

With today's irresponsible MSM, however, we get half quotes, fake stories, lack of research, lack of follow through--but ultimately, the "lead" will always have something to do with sex. As it does here.

The liberals, the secularists, the atheists will continue to find a way to ridicule anyone of faith for their very faith. My belief regarding this is simply these people are afraid. They are afraid there is nothing else for them. They are perpetually angry because they know nothing else. They think life is supposed to be "fair". Life isn't fair. Anyone who states a truth, anyone who points out to them they and they alone are responsible for the choices they make in life, in any aspect of their lives, is going to be ridiculed.

And such we see here. I don't agree with a lot of what has come out about Huckabee. However, I don't see where he referenced a person's sexual behavior. He was asked a direct question. He answered it--honestly--in that he doesn't know if someone is born gay or makes that choice down the road. He followed up by stating a person's behavior is that person's choice.

Sex? This isn't about sex. This is about choices made and acted upon. The left just can't handle personal responsibility and being held accountable for their own choices. And so they have to set up a sexual strawman and fight that strawman.

Completely, utterly shameless, ridiculous and, frankly, nuts. They need to get some new mirrors, preferably mirrors not pilfered from the local carnival funhouse, but mirrors forcing them to face reality.
