Obamination: Liar, Liar, Pants on Fire!

Bare Naked Islam posted a still shot taken from the video of the execution of the Qur'an at the Dove World Outreach Center. I saved that image, cropped, adjusted and enlarged it for maximum clarity.

This is the original image, as posted at BNI.

Examine it closely. Note that the cover is to the right of the back binding. Arabic Qur'ans are printed from right to left, their bindings are on the right side, not the left.  Note that the title is in English, barely legible.

In this cropped image, the Qur'an is brought up close. Note the title.

This cropped image has been enlarged as much as possible and adjusted for maximum clarity.

The English title is legible. Because of the binding and title, we know that the executed Qur'an was an English translation, not an Arabic Qur'an.

Routledge encyclopedia of translation studies   By Mona Baker  will give you some important background information on the controversy over translating the Qur'an into other languages. 

    When the PLO seized the Church of the Nativity, they performed istijmar with pages torn from the Bible. There was an on line fatwa permitting the practice, but it has been scrubbed.  They don't consider the Bible to be holy, because the Qur'an supersedes it, and claims it to be corrupted.

    It is required that Qur'an recitation be performed in Arabic.  They assert that no other language can convey the full meaning of the Arabic words.  They consider translations to be interpretations of the meaning of the Qur'an, not the Qur'an itself, so burning it should be no skin off their noses.

    Pastors Jones & Sapp spent four hours trying the Qur'an before convicting and executing it. I was unable to view the streaming video, so I do not know what evidence was presented by the prosecutor, but I know that he is an apostate fluent in Arabic.  The prosecution witnesses were also apostates.

    I have no knowledge of the evidence presented or witnesses called, if any, by the defense. I would like to see both sides post their briefs and evidence in pdf format. 

    In any case, rioting, murder & malicious destruction of property in reaction to the trial & execution of a Qur'an translation do not defend it, instead they pile on evidence of its evil effect on believers. 

    Obamination had remarks on the subject Saturday, since they are not yet posted on the White House blog, I rely on quotes found in a report on Yahoo News.

"The desecration of any holy text, including the Koran, is an act of extreme intolerance and bigotry,"

 

desecration

How anyone, especially the President of the United States, can impute sanctity to the Koran, or consider it to be sacred, is beyond imagining. What is sacred about a text which attributes divine sanction to imperatives for offensive conquest on a global scale, terrorism & genocide?  Muslims & liars will aver that the Qur'an does not do so. I challenge them to disprove the obvious!

• 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. 
  • Tafsir Ibn Kathir
• 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. 
  • Tafsir Ibn Kathir
• 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." 
• 8:57. So if you gain the mastery over them in war, punish them severely in order to disperse those who are behind them, so that they may learn a lesson.
• 9:120. It was not becoming of the people of Al-Madinah and the bedouins of the neighbourhood to remain behind Allah's Messenger (Muhammad SAW when fighting in Allah's Cause) and (it was not becoming of them) to prefer their own lives to his life. That is because they suffer neither thirst nor fatigue, nor hunger in the Cause of Allah, nor they take any step to raise the anger of disbelievers nor inflict any injury upon an enemy but is written to their credit as a deed of righteousness. Surely, Allah wastes not the reward of the Muhsinun* 
• 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.  

    What can be more profane than attributing to deity a desire for genocide?

intolerance

    What is more  intolerant than declaring war upon people because they do not share your superstition?  Is there any rational excuse for tolerating that?  The President of the United States implied that we should tolerate the damnable doctrines which motivated the Magnificent Nineteen  to hijack four airliners and slit the throats of the flight crews with the intention of flying them into occupied office buildings.

    Demanding that we tolerate and hold sacred that which instigated Abomination 9/11 is treason, for which Obama should be impeached.

bigotry

    Bigotry implies prejudice. Jones judged the Qur'an, based on evidence.  That is judgment, not bigotry.  Obama is "a person who is obstinately or intolerantly devoted to his or her own opinions and prejudices" concerning Islam, in denial of the evidence. 

No religion tolerates the slaughter and beheading of innocent people, and there is no justification for such a dishonorable and deplorable act.

 

slaughter

    When one Jewish tribe surrendered following a two week siege, Moe slaughtered all the adult men and adolescent boys. Everything he did is sunnah: exemplary conduct to be emulated.  If no religion tolerates slaughter, then Islam is no religion.

• Sunan Abu Dawud Book 38, Number 4390:
  Narrated Atiyyah al-Qurazi:
  I was among the captives of Banu Qurayzah. They (the Companions) examined us, and those who had begun to grow hair (pubes) were killed, and those who had not were not killed. I was among those who had not grown hair.

innocent

    Only Muslims are innocent, all others are kuffar and rebels against Allah.

• 5:33. The recompense of those who wage war against Allah and His Messenger and do mischief in the land is only that they shall be killed or crucified or their hands and their feet be cut off on the opposite sides, or be exiled from the land. That is their disgrace in this world, and a great torment is theirs in the Hereafter.
  • 'Wage war' mentioned here means, oppose and contradict, and it includes disbelief, blocking roads and spreading fear in the fairways. Tafsir Ibn Kathir

Anti-Muslim Bigotry

A new post at Barenaked Islam pointed to two articles accusing Islam's opponents of bigotry.

Michelle Boorstein asks at the Washington Post: How influential will anti-Muslim groups become?

For years there has been a small but passionate group of people concerned with the influence of Islam, and their activism seemed to be largely focused on blogging and lobbying political conservatives. But their presence -- and the arguments they raise -- seem to be coming into the broader sphere of late.

The author cites the controversy over the Cordoba House project and Paypal's censorship of Atlas Shrugs. The Salon article she links to shouts "racially-motivated hatred" in its headline.

The entire anti-mosque campaign isn't about anything other than pure, paranoid Islamophobia.

The article closes with a short story about two Arab Christians who were allegedly driven away from a recent protest of Cordoba House in N.Y.C. Atlas Shrugs posted a communication from one of the Arab Cristians involved in that incident. Here is one paragraph from that communication.

The reason I am writing to you, is because I am very disappointed in the mainstream media who used this minor incident to make a blanket generalization about all the attendees of the rally as Muslim haters.This kind of generalization was unfair to the good American people who legitimately stand against the building of a mosque next to ground zero and who are against Islamist agenda in the US. I am very well aware of such an agenda which has destroyed the Christian and Jewish existence in the Middle East.

Now you know what theose smug, smarmy left wingers are doing to pull the woll over your eyes.

The REAL News Network posted a video of two academics making the usual smarmy, self-righteous denunciation of "bigotry". Note their loaded title:

How Western anti-Muslim bigotry became respectable.

According to them, the Islamic conquest and occupation of Southern & Eastern Europe was the greatest thing before sliced bread. It produced a wonderful culture of architecture, infrastructure and academia. They don't give a damn about the slaugher, enslavement or burning of churches and monestaries. Oh, no, those are minor, inconsequential incidents.

According to the Socialist narrative, all opposition to Islam is bigotry; Islamophobia. It is evidence of paranoia. Their narrative is false and malignant. An estimated 270*10⁶ people were slaughtered by Islam since 622. The slaughter of Hundus and the Armenian & Assyrian genocides flow directly from the foundational texts of Islam.

Genocide

Allah's divine word includes these gems of genocidal bestiality. Denial is not a river in Egypt. You can not disprove objective factual reality.

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.

47:4. So, when you meet (in fight Jihâd in Allâh's Cause), those who disbelieve smite at their necks till when you have killed and wounded many of them, then bind a bond firmly (on them, i.e. take them as captives). Thereafter (is the time) either for generosity (i.e. free them without ransom), or ransom (according to what benefits Islâm), until the war lays down its burden. Thus [you are ordered by Allâh to continue in carrying out Jihâd against the disbelievers till they embrace Islâm (i.e. are saved from the punishment in the Hell-fire) or at least come under your protection], but if it had been Allâh's Will, He Himself could certainly have punished them (without you). But (He lets you fight), in order to test you, some with others. But those who are killed in the Way of Allâh, He will never let their deeds be lost,

The differential desires of Moe and Allah are clear from the phrases which I emphasized with bold font. Moe wanted ransom, Allah wants great slaughter, killed and wounded many of them. I linked the Surah:ayeh numbers to a table of ten parallel translations so that you can verify the obvious meaning of the quotes.

Of course, it could not possibly mean that, could it. No, those verses must be metaphorical or allegorical. Yeah, right. Ibn Kathir explained them in
The Command to strike the Enemies' Necks, tighten Their Bonds, and then free Them either by an Act of Grace or for a Ransom.

(until you have fully defeated them,) meaning, `you have killed and utterly destroyed them.'

It appears that this Ayah was revealed after the battle of Badr. At that time, Allah reproached the believers for sparing many of the enemy's soldiers, and holding too many captives in order to take ransom from them.

Surely those are anachronisms, long since expired. Yeah, right.

(There will always be a group of my Ummah victorious upon the truth, until the last of them fight against Ad-Dajjal.)

jihad will be performed continuously since the day Allah sent me as a prophet until the day the last member of my community will fight with the Dajjal (Antichrist). Sunan Abu Dawud 14.2526

So, where is my proof? My proof is in another hadith collected by Abu Dawud. Read it carefully, paying particular attention to the parts I emphasized.

Sunan Abu Dawud Book 38, Number 4390:

Narrated Atiyyah al-Qurazi:
I was among the captives of Banu Qurayzah. They (the Companions) examined us, and those who had begun to grow hair (pubes) were killed, and those who had not were not killed. I was among those who had not grown hair.

Had Atiyya reached puberty, he would have been slaughtered, he would not have survived to narrate that saying. When the Banu Qurayzah surrendered, Moe had their men and adolescent boys slaughtered. The estimates run between 700 and 900 decapitations in that incident. And they are not finished yet. Muslims can not open the gates of Paradise until they complete the genocide of the Jews.

Sahih Muslim Book 041, Number 6985:
Abu Huraira reported Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) as saying: The last hour would not come unless the Muslims will fight against the Jews and the Muslims would kill them until the Jews would hide themselves behind a stone or a tree and a stone or a tree would say: Muslim, or the servant of Allah, there is a Jew behind me; come and kill him; but the tree Gharqad would not say, for it is the tree of the Jews.

Genocide is not only a divine imperative, it is sunah, an example for future genrations of Muslims to emulate. Now let us examine the consequence of the codification of that divine imperative and exemplary conduct. I quote from CPPCG.

Article 3

The following acts shall be punishable:

(a) Genocide;

(b) Conspiracy to commit genocide;

(c) Direct and public incitement to commit genocide;

(d ) Attempt to commit genocide;

(e) Complicity in genocide.

Article 3(c) of the Convention on the prevention and punishment of the crime of genocide requires that Islam be proscribed by law. Other standing violations of international human rights covenants which require the proscription of Islam are documented in Islam vs Human Rights.

Islam is intolerant; 3:85. And whoever seeks a religion other than Islâm, it will never be accepted of him, and in the Hereafter he will be one of the losers. In 9:29, it declares perpetual war on Jews, Christians & Zoroastrians.

The current contrempts center around Ground Zero, where Muslims seek to erect a Mosque in the Burlignton Coat Factory outlet, as a symbol of superiority. There is a little secret most Amaericans are unaware of. Islamic law forbids conquered Christians from building or maintianing churches. The quote is from a list of seven restrictions on dhimmis found in Reliance of the Traveller, Book O11.5.

-7- and are forbidden to build new churches. http://www.crusadersarmory.co.cc/RelianceO11-5.html

We have ample cause for objecting to Islam's violence, supremacism, intolerance, terrorism & genocide. Our objection is not bigotry nor is it racism; Islam is a predatory way of life, not a race.

Intolerant, Hateful Bigot! How Dare You Criticize Muslims?

What is a Muslim? What beliefs & actions attach to that status? Is ascribing those mandatory tenets & actions to Muslims an act of bigotry?

In Al-Taubah 71 we find certain characteristics ascribed to believers:

• support one another
• enjoin Islamic monotheism
• forbid disbelief
• forbid all that Islam has forbidden
• pray at scheduled times
• give Zakat
• obey Allah and his Messenger.

In Al-Baqarah 245, we find this list of attributes:

• obey Allah with full submission
• fear his punishment
• believe in his promise
• and in his warnings

What do believers do ? In Surah An-Nisa' 74 we find a convenient list of actions:

• sell this life for the hereafter
• fight in the cause of Allah

What did Allah command the believers to do? Fight disbelievers!!!

1. 2:216
2. 8:39
3. 9:29

• How does Allah test the believers? Surah Al-Imran 139...143
• So do not become weak (against your enemy), nor be sad, and you will be superior (in victory) if you are indeed (true) believers.
• If a wound (and killing) has touched you, be sure a similar wound (and killing) has touched the others. And so are the days (good and not so good), We give to men by turns, that Allâh may test those who believe, and that He may take martyrs from among you.
• And that Allâh may test (or purify) the believers (from sins) and destroy the disbelievers.
  
• Do you think that you will enter Paradise before Allâh tests those of you who fought
• You did indeed wish for death (Ash­Shahâdah - martyrdom) before you met it. Now you have seen it openly with your own eyes.

What follows was received in an email from a Gold Star Mother, who has good reason to be passionate about our enemy. I have added links so that you can read the source documents and explore them further.
Unfortunately, Allah--who does not wish to play anymore, since we have discovered his play book--decides what a Muslim is. Thus, his decision is what I and most now informed go by in grasping what a Muslim in.

The charge of stereotyping is inane. Read a dog book, the dog is called a dog because that is what he is.

Is that stereotyping? No, that is calling a dog a dog.

Read Islamic History and those spoken of in those books who have uttered the shahada, accepted the duty to defend Muhammad and his religion; in the Islamic Sacred text, those individuals are called Muslims.

Throughout those same text, the people who have embraced Islam and uttered "la ilaha illallah wa anna Muhammadan rasulullah" (there is no god but Allah and that Muhammad is Allah's Messenger), then proceed on, as all Muslims are obligated to, in doing the killing, the raiding, the conquering, and the praying, the supporting and defending of the ummah, they are called Muslims.

Why? Because that is what they are.

That is why, when I refer to those who call themselves Muslims, I call them Muslims--that is what they are, keepers of the tenets of Islam. Followers of the way, the tradition, the example, the sunnah of Muhammad.

Here's a few of those basic traditions:

To make the Heart Tender (Ar-Riqaq)

Bukhari :: Book 8 :: Volume 76 :: Hadith 509

Narrated Abu Huraira:

Allah's Apostle said, "Allah said, 'I will declare war against him who shows hostility to a pious worshipper of Mine.

Jihad (Kitab Al-Jihad)

Dawud :: Book 14 : Hadith 2526

Narrated Anas ibn Malik:

The Prophet (peace_be_upon_him) said: Three things are the roots of faith: to refrain from (killing) a person who utters, "There is no god but Allah" and not to declare him unbeliever whatever sin he commits, and not to excommunicate him from Islam for his any action; and jihad will be performed continuously since the day Allah sent me as a prophet until the day the last member of my community will fight with the Dajjal (Antichrist).

Funerals (Al-Janaa'iz)

Bukhari :: Book 2 :: Volume 23 :: Hadith 483

Narrated Abu Huraira:

When Allah's Apostle died and Abu Bakr became the caliph some Arabs renegade (reverted to disbelief) (Abu Bakr decided to declare war against them), 'Umar, said to Abu Bakr, "How can you fight with these people although Allah's Apostle said, 'I have been ordered (by Allah) to fight the people till they say: "None has the right to be worshipped but Allah, and whoever said it then he will save his life and property from me except on trespassing the law (rights and conditions for which he will be punished justly), and his accounts will be with Allah.'

" Abu Bakr said, "By Allah! I will fight those who differentiate between the prayer and the Zakat as Zakat is the compulsory right to be taken from the property (according to Allah's orders) By Allah!

If they refuse to pay me even a she-kid which they used to pay at the time of Allah's Apostle . I would fight with them for withholding it" Then 'Umar said, "By Allah, it was nothing, but Allah opened Abu Bakr's chest towards the decision (to fight) and I came to know that his decision was right."

Laws of Inheritance (Al-Faraa'id)

Bukhari :: Book 8 :: Volume 80 :: Hadith 747

Narrated 'Ali:

We have no Book to recite except the Book of Allah (Qur'an) and this paper. Then 'Ali took out the paper, and behold ! There was written in it, legal verdicts about the retaliation for wounds, the ages of the camels (to be paid as Zakat or as blood money). In it was also written: 'Medina is a sanctuary from Air (mountain) to Thaur (mountain). So whoever innovates in it an heresy (something new in religion) or commits a crime in it or gives shelter to such an innovator, will incur the curse of Allah, the angels and all the people, and none of his compulsory or optional good deeds will be accepted on the Day of Resurrection. . . . . And the asylum granted by any Muslim is to be secured by all the Muslims, even if it is granted by one of the lowest social status among them; and whoever betrays a Muslim, in this respect will incur the curse of Allah, the angels, and all the people, and none of his Compulsory or optional good deeds will be accepted on the Day of Resurrection."

Jihad (Kitab Al-Jihad)

Dawud :: Book 14 : Hadith 2497

Narrated AbuUmamah:

The Prophet (peace_be_upon_him) said: He who does not join the warlike expedition (jihad), or equip, or looks well after a warrior's family when he is away, will be smitten by Allah with a sudden calamity. Yazid ibn Abdu Rabbihi said in his tradition: 'before the Day of Resurrection".

Hence, we know, when Allah, via Muhammad, added this into the Qur'an, we know, the two were serious: "Oh you who believe! Fear Allah. . . . If you do not, take notice of war from Allah and his Messenger." Al-Baqarah: 278-9)

All Muslims are ordered to imitate Muhammad and his rightly guided companions. That is basic Islam. Embracing Islam is the only thing that makes one a Muslim, as being born a canine, makes one just that.

To state calling a Muslims a Muslim is oversimplifying is equal to stating it is oversimplifying to call a Poodle a Poodle--something, obviously, only the simple minded do.
