Muslim Response to Burn A Qur'an Day: Al-Taqiyya & Kitman

Muslim Response created  an animated cartoon to portray Pastor Terry Jones as an ignorant bigot and Islam as a religion of peace.  With a cartoon, it is easy to set up Jones as a straw man, conceal the evil aspects of Islamic doctrine & paractice and paint Islam in a beutific light.

    Thanks and a tip of the hat to Logans Warning  for bringing this to my attention.  The video is a well drawn animated cartoon with poor audio quality. Its theme is an encounter between a passing Muslima and  Pastor Jones attempting to burn Qur'ans. It runs about three and a half minutes. As the dialog between Jones and the Muslima continues, his flock picks up Qur'ans and departs one by one, as if the Muslima's lame excuses for Islam  are converting them.

Lets take it point by point.

• Islam is of the devil. 

Yes, we say he interviews in which the title of his book was mentioned, and we saw the interviewers keeping Jones busy, never letting him get down to details.  Allah was one of 360 idols ensconced in the Kabaa in the seventh century, until Muhammad conquered Mekkah and destroyed the other idols.  Allah is a moon deity, note the crescent moon on the domes of mosques. At various times and places, Allah went by other names, including Sin.  

    Who demands sacrifice, human blood?  Is it the God you worship or his adversary?  When Muslims slaughter sheep, goats and camels for Eid, what  do they say while slitting throats?  What were the last words heard on the cockpit voice recorder of Flight 93? What did they say when they slit Nick Berg's throat?  Why is Allahu Akhbar! pronounced on all those occasions?  

    Does God really desire human blood in  genocidal quantitiy?  Allah does. The Qur'an has a clue for you. I will emphasize key phrases for clarity.  

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 does Allah desire? What does Allah require as a prerequisite?  Does God declare perpetual war against Jews & Christians?  Who does?  

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.

 

• The Qur'an refers reverentially to the Bible. 

2:41. And believe in what I have sent down (this Qur'ân), confirming that which is with you, [the Taurât (Torah) and the Injeel (Gospel)], and be not the first to disbelieve therein, and buy not with My Verses [the Taurât (Torah) and the Injeel (Gospel)] a small price (i.e. getting a small gain by selling My Verses), and fear Me and Me Alone. (Tafsir At-Tabarî, Vol. I, Page 253).

Ain't that wonderful, the Qur'an  confirms the Bible. Yeah, right.  We will revisit this subject soon.

• The Qur'an respects Jesus Christ.  Yeah, right, as Allah's slave, a genocidal warlord who will exterminate the remaining Jews & Christians just before the end of the world.  

Is Jesus the son of God?  Does he divine? Was he crucified? Was he resurrected?  If you remember anything from Sunday school, you will recognize the fact that the Qur'an, while claiming to confirm the Gospels, contradicts them.[Emphasis added.]

4:157. And because of their saying (in boast), "We killed Messiah 'Iesa (Jesus), son of Maryam (Mary), the Messenger of Allâh," - but they killed him not, nor crucified him, but the resemblance of 'Iesa (Jesus) was put over another man (and they killed that man), and those who differ therein are full of doubts. They have no (certain) knowledge, they follow nothing but conjecture. For surely; they killed him not [i.e. 'Iesa (Jesus), son of Maryam (Mary) ]:

4:158. But Allâh raised him ['Iesa (Jesus)] up (with his body and soul) unto Himself (and he is in the heavens). And Allâh is Ever All­Powerful, All­Wise.

4:159. And there is none of the people of the Scripture (Jews and Christians), but must believe in him ['Iesa (Jesus), son of Maryam (Mary), as only a Messenger of Allâh and a human being], before his ['Iesa (Jesus) or a Jew's or a Christian's] death (at the time of the appearance of the angel of death). And on the Day of Resurrection, he ['Iesa (Jesus)] will be a witness against them.

 23:91. No son (or offspring or children) did Allâh beget, nor is there any ilâh (god) along with Him; (if there had been many gods), behold, each god would have taken away what he had created, and some would have tried to overcome others! Glorified be Allâh above all that they attribute to Him!

3:61. Then whoever disputes with you concerning him ['Iesa (Jesus)] after (all this) knowledge that has come to you, [i.e. 'Iesa (Jesus)] being a slave of Allâh, and having no share in Divinity) say: (O Muhammad ) "Come, let us call our sons and your sons, our women and your women, ourselves and yourselves - then we pray and invoke (sincerely) the Curse of Allâh upon those who lie."

   
Instead of confirming the Gospels concerning the  papternity, deity, death & resurrection of Jesus, the Qur'an contradicts them, declaring that Allah has no offspring and Jesus is his slave.  Can there be anything worse than this?  Of course there is!  

    What is the Islamic interest in Jesus? Why to Muslims revere him?  Because of their eschatology.  Its all about what they believe he will do when he returns. In a word: genocide.

    I now present for your enlightenment a hadith from Sunan Abu Dawud, ranked third in autenticity among the canonical collections.  I have added emphasis to make the important phrases stand out for you.

Sunan Abu Dawud Book 37, Number 4310:
Narrated AbuHurayrah:

The Prophet (peace_be_upon_him) said: There is no prophet between me and him, that is, Jesus (peace_be_upon_him). He will descent (to the earth). When you see him, recognise him: a man of medium height, reddish fair, wearing two light yellow garments, looking as if drops were falling down from his head though it will not be wet. He will fight the people for the cause of Islam. He will break the cross, kill swine, and abolish jizyah. Allah will perish all religions except Islam. He will destroy the Antichrist and will live on the earth for forty years and then he will die. The Muslims will pray over him.

What will Jesus do?

• fight the people for the cause of Islam
  • Have you read 8:39, 9:29 & Sahih Bukhari 1.8.387?  Islam molds Jesus in the likeness of Moe, as a warlord.  
• break the cross
  • That phrase is a code for exterminating Christians. 
• kill swine
  • That phrase is a code for exterminating Jews. 
• abolish jiaya
  • Jizya is paid by conquered or intimidated Jews, Christians and Zoroastrians. When they are extirminated, there will be nobody left to pay it. 
• perish all religions except Islam
  • Jesus will wage war on them and exterminate them. 

    Put those points to a Muslim and he will swear that I am a liar, twisting and distorting the Qur'an and haidth. Unfortunately for that Muslim, there is more clear evidence to prove him wrong.  7:167 says that Allah will continually send someone to torment the Jews.  Ibn Kathir's Tafsir of that ahyeh holds a secret clue for you.[Emphasis added.]

Eternal Humiliation placed on the Jews  
...In the future, the Jews will support the Dajjal (False Messiah); and the Muslims, along with `Isa, son of Mary, will kill the Jews. This will occur just before the end of this world. ...

• The Qur'an has a chapter dedicated to women.  Indeed it does, Surah An-Nisa' 

What is the relationship between the Muslim woman and her husband?

2:223. Your wives are a tilth for you, so go to your tilth (have sexual relations with your wives in any manner as long as it is in the vagina and not in the anus), when or how you will, and send (good deeds, or ask Allâh to bestow upon you pious offspring) before you for your ownselves. And fear Allâh, and know that you are to meet Him (in the Hereafter), and give good tidings to the believers (O Muhammad ).

Tilth litteraly means "field to be plowed".  And the prohibition on sodomy is not to be found in the Arabic text.  Visit this site and scroll down to the beginning of 2:223, then scroll through it.

    Of course the relationship is more complex than that. [Emphasis added.]

4:34. Men are the protectors and maintainers of women, because Allâh has made one of them to excel the other, and because they spend (to support them) from their means. Therefore the righteous women are devoutly obedient (to Allâh and to their husbands), and guard in the husband's absence what Allâh orders them to guard (e.g. their chastity, their husband's property, etc.). As to those women on whose part you see ill­conduct, admonish them (first), (next), refuse to share their beds, (and last) beat them (lightly, if it is useful), but if they return to obedience, seek not against them means (of annoyance). Surely, Allâh is Ever Most High, Most Great.

Men are superior to women, who must obey their husbands.  Husbands are allowed to beat their wives. Lightly was added by the translators, it is not in the Arabic.  You won't find beat there, either. Try this page, even though it is fine print. The literal translation says scourge.

    There is another little detail the Muslima withheld from your  virgin ears. I am not so shy: women are deficient in intelligence & religion![Emphasis added.]

Sahih Bukhari Volume 1, Book 6, Number 301:

Narrated Abu Said Al-Khudri:

Once Allah's Apostle went out to the Musalla (to offer the prayer) o 'Id-al-Adha or Al-Fitr prayer. Then he passed by the women and said, "O women! Give alms, as I have seen that the majority of the dwellers of Hell-fire were you (women)." They asked, "Why is it so, O Allah's Apostle ?" He replied, "You curse frequently and are ungrateful to your husbands. I have not seen anyone more deficient in intelligence and religion than you. A cautious sensible man could be led astray by some of you." The women asked, "O Allah's Apostle! What is deficient in our intelligence and religion?" He said, "Is not the evidence of two women equal to the witness of one man?" They replied in the affirmative. He said, "This is the deficiency in her intelligence. Isn't it true that a woman can neither pray nor fast during her menses?" The women replied in the affirmative. He said, "This is the deficiency in her religion."

2:282. O you who believe! When you contract a debt for a fixed period, write it down. Let a scribe write it down in justice between you. Let not the scribe refuse to write as Allâh has taught him, so let him write. Let him (the debtor) who incurs the liability dictate, and he must fear Allâh, his Lord, and diminish not anything of what he owes. But if the debtor is of poor understanding, or weak, or is unable himself to dictate, then let his guardian dictate in justice. And get two witnesses out of your own men. And if there are not two men (available), then a man and two women, such as you agree for witnesses, so that if one of them (two women) errs, the other can remind her. And the witnesses should not refuse when they are called on (for evidence). You should not become weary to write it (your contract), whether it be small or big, for its fixed term, that is more just with Allâh; more solid as evidence, and more convenient to prevent doubts among yourselves, save when it is a present trade which you carry out on the spot among yourselves, then there is no sin on you if you do not write it down. But take witnesses whenever you make a commercial contract. Let neither scribe nor witness suffer any harm, but if you do (such harm), it would be wickedness in you. So be afraid of Allâh; and Allâh teaches you. And Allâh is the All-Knower of each and everything.

 

• A claim is made that the Qur'an is compatible with the Constitution. Unfortunately it is so mumbled that I can not decipher it word for word.  it begins at 2 2 minutes 18 seconds into the video.

Our Constitution specifies that laws are made by a bicameral legislature, by majority vote in most cases.  The Qur'an specifies that Allah's word is law and his decisxion is final.

33:36. It is not for a believer, man or woman, when Allâh and His Messenger have decreed a matter that they should have any option in their decision. And whoever disobeys Allâh and His Messenger, he has indeed strayed in a plain error.

Our Constitution forbids "cruel and unusual" punishments.  The Qur'an specifies amputation & lashing.

5:38. Cut off (from the wrist joint) the (right) hand of the thief, male or female, as a recompense for that which they committed, a punishment by way of example from Allâh. And Allâh is All­Powerful, All­Wise.

24:2. The woman and the man guilty of illegal sexual intercourse, flog each of them with a hundred stripes. Let not pity withhold you in their case, in a punishment prescribed by Allâh, if you believe in Allâh and the Last Day. And let a party of the believers witness their punishment. (This punishment is for unmarried persons guilty of the above crime but if married persons commit it, the punishment is to stone them to death, according to Allâh's Law).

Our Constitution guarantees freedom of  religion.  The Qur'an says that Muslims must wage war to give Allah a global monopoly.

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.

 

• 5:32 is quoted, asserting that killing one innocent person is the moral equivalent of global genocide. This quote is used to disclaim 'radicalism'. 

5:32. Because of that We ordained for the Children of Israel that if anyone killed a person not in retaliation of murder, or (and) to spread mischief in the land - it would be as if he killed all mankind, and if anyone saved a life, it would be as if he saved the life of all mankind. And indeed, there came to them Our Messengers with clear proofs, evidences, and signs, even then after that many of them continued to exceed the limits (e.g. by doing oppression unjustly and exceeding beyond the limits set by Allâh by committing the major sins) in the land!.

Did you notice the exceptions: murder & fitna?  The devil is in the details, and Muslims always conceal the vital details.  They will not quote the next verse. Why do they conceal it?   Surah Al-Ma'idah  33 specifies hudud for fitna & "waging war against Allah and his Messener".  

5:33. The recompense of those who wage war against Allâh 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.

Just what is this great sin that subjects one to being killed, crucified, mutilated or exiled??  Once again Ibn Kathir comes to the rescue with a clear definition. [Emphasis added.]

The Punishment of those Who Cause Mischief in the Land

...`Wage war' mentioned here means, oppose and contradict, and it includes disbelief, blocking roads and spreading fear in the fairways....

Is that clear enough for you? Disbelief is waging war against Allah.  If you don't believe, you can be crucified or mutilated.  The video ends with an exhortation to read the Qur'an.  That is the one part I agree with.  Read it, and learn what is really in it.   The Qur'an is widely available on the web, you can read it without buying a copy.  The King Fahd Complex presents the Hilali & khan translation, which is 95% accurate. The inaccuracies are intentional. They relate to 'fight' in which case the real word is fight/kill, essentially wage war, and  'marry' in which case the true word is a four letter obscenity.  

    I gave you a link to 2:190, because the translator's footnote defines jihad with great clarity.  You can selelect  any Surah and ayeh from drop down boxes.  You should, at  minimum, read Surahs 2,3,4,8,9,33,48 & 61.  To fully comprehend those Surahs, you should supplement them with the authentic hadith of  Bukhari. I recommend Books 52, 53 & 59.

Contemporary Forms of Racism: 'Islamophobia '

Mr. Githu Muigai, Special Rapporteur on contemporary forms of racism, racial discrimination,xenophobia and related intolerance made a statement on his written report to the UNHRC September 28, 2010.  

• Statement   5 page pdf, scanned image from type written document.
• Full Report.   A/HRC/15/53  19 page pdf, text based. 
• Citations located:
• A/HRC/12/38  Previous special report concentrates on legal issues. 
• Res 13/16 Apr30 '10  Defamation of Religions
• A/HRC/15/45  Report of the Special Rapporteur on contemporary forms of racism, racial discrimination, xenophobia and related
  intolerance on the implementation of General Assembly resolutions 63/162 and 64/147  07/15/'10

    Mr. Muigai apparently hoped to explain how defamation of religions and in particular, "the serious implications of Islamophobia"  impact on the "enjoyment of all human rights by their followers"

    "Islamophobia" implies irrational fear and loathing of Islam.  Since the hijackings, shooting incidents and bombings of the latter third of the last century and the more recent attacks in New York City and Washington D.C., fear and loathing of Islam is hardly irrational.  The history of Islam is a  1387 year trail of blood and  tears leaving an estimated 270 million innocent victims dead.

One of the most recent examples was the plan of a small group of individuals in Florida to organize a "Burn a · Koran Day" on ll September 2010. I very much regret this initiative and I welcome  the reactions of a wide variety of political and religious leaders opposing it. This event  demonstrates that actions undertaken by a small group of persons may sometimes  have worldwide repercussions. It is vital therefore to exercise caution in denouncing such acts, so as not to play into the hands of such individuals. 

    International Burn a Qur'an Day consisted of a web site, a Facebook page, banners, emails and television interviews.  No Qur'ans were burned by Pastor Terry Jones or his congregation.  Bibles and US flags were burned and property damage was done by rioting Muslims.

    President Obama, Secretary of State Clinton & General Petraeus did not exercise caution in denouncing the proposed Qur'an burning.  They imputed death & destruction  to Pastor Jones, instead of to its true source: the damnable doctrines of Islam  enshrined in the Qur'an and  preached in every Mosque.

play into the hands

    That is exactly what their kvetching does: it gives  those of us with rational objections to the doctrines and practices of Islam to expose them
to public view.

why burn the Qur'an?

propaganda for war

    ICCPR

Article 20

1. Any propaganda for war shall be prohibited by law.

Qur'anic propaganda for war

• 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.
• 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. 
• 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. 
• 9:38. O you who believe! What is the matter with you, that when you are asked to march forth in the Cause of Allâh (i.e. Jihâd) you cling heavily to the earth? Are you pleased with the life of this world rather than the Hereafter? But little is the enjoyment of the life of this world as compared with the Hereafter.   
  9:39. If you march not forth, He will punish you with a painful torment and will replace you by another people, and you cannot harm Him at all, and Allah is Able to do all things. 
• See also 61:10-13
• 9:111. Verily, Allâh has purchased of the believers their lives and their properties; for the price that theirs shall be the Paradise. They fight in Allâh's Cause, so they kill (others) and are killed. It is a promise in truth which is binding on Him in the Taurât (Torah) and the Injeel (Gospel) and the Qur'ân. And who is truer to his covenant than Allâh? Then rejoice in the bargain which you have concluded. That is the supreme success .
  
  
• 9:123. O you who believe! Fight those of the disbelievers who are close to you, and let them find harshness in you, and know that Allâh is with those who are the Al-Muttaqûn (the pious - see V.2:2).

A search for "strive hard" in the Hilali\Khan translation  turned up 33 results. This sample is typical.

• 9:41 March forth, whether you are light (being healthy, young and wealthy) or heavy (being ill, old and poor), strive hard with your wealth and your lives in the Cause of Allah. This is better for you, if you but knew.

    Surah Al-Anfal 39  commands Muslims to wage war against pagans until only Allah is worshiped on a global scale. It has neither geographic nor chronological limits.  Surah At-Taubah 29 commands Muslims to wage war against Jews, Christians & Zoroastrians until they are subjugated & extorted.  It has neither geographic nor chronological limits.

    Surah At-Taubah 111 reveals the relationship between Allah and Muslims. They are slaves, purchased to fight his battles.  In the same chapter, verses 38 & 39 warn Muslims that they go to war or go to Hell.  In Surah As-Saff, verses 9-13 tell Muslims how they can avoid Hell and enter Paradise: by jihad.  If that does not constitute propaganda for war under ICCPR 20.1, what would?

    The offensive verses listed above only scratch the surface of the evil of Islamic doctrine & practice.  They are the most important objections to Islam.  If international human rights covenants were enforced, those verses would be sufficient to outlaw Islam.  For that purpose I call your attention to the  International Qur'an Petition.

    A growing cadre of lovers of liberty are wising up to Islam. A search for ban Islam turned up 12,400,000 matches. A search for outlaw Islam turned up 605,000 matches.  The subject is turning up in blog posts, forums and comments all over the web.

negative stereotyping   

    This subject is raised on the fourth page of the statement.

Numerous cases of negative stereotyping of religions, their believers and sacred persons have also been brought to my attention. Among others, I received reports on TV broadcasts and cartoons depicting Jews, Muslims or other believers in a negative  manner; public protests against the Islamization of certain regions or countries; or books that were considered as insulting of the Buddhist religion. While I regret these worldwide reports of stereotyping which do not contribute to constructive dialogue among communities, I nonetheless recognize that peaceful expressions of opinions and ideas should always be tolerated, as long as they do not fall under the specific restrictions enshrined in articles 19 and 20 of the Intemational Covenant on Civil and Political Rights. `

Article 19

1. Everyone shall have the right to hold opinions without interference.
2. Everyone shall have the right to freedom of expression; this right shall include freedom to seek, receive and impart information and ideas of all kinds, regardless of frontiers, either orally, in writing or in print, in the form of art, or through any other media of his choice.
3. The exercise of the rights provided for in paragraph 2 of this article carries with it special duties and responsibilities. It may therefore be subject to certain restrictions, but these shall only be such as are provided by law and are necessary:
   1. For respect of the rights or reputations of others;
   2. For the protection of national security or of public order (ordre public), or of public health or morals.

Article 20

1. Any propaganda for war shall be prohibited by law.
2. Any advocacy of national, racial or religious hatred that constitutes incitement to discrimination, hostility or violence shall be prohibited by law.

    The Special Rapporteur on contemporary forms of racism, racial discrimination,xenophobia and related intolerance has clearly stated an objection to attempting to  outlaw "negative stereotyping".  His opinion runs counter to the mainstream.

International Burn a Qur'an Day: Fan the Embers!

The pr campaign initiated by Pastor Terry Jones, though it ended in a fizzle, afforded us an opportunity to expose the  evil contents of that abominable book. In Washington D.C., at the White House,  two courageous men revealed the contents and crumpled pages from a translation.  In New York, near the site of the proposed Ground Zero mosque, one brave man burned pages torn from a translation.

    Islam  has nothing to kvetch about because:

1. Pastor Jones abandoned the burning ceremony.
2. The crumpled Qur'an was a translation, not Arabic.
3. The burned Qur'an was a translation, not Arabic. 

Muslims do not consider translations to be sacred.  The Qur'an's magic is in the sound; it is meant to be memorized and recited, not read.

    Yet Muslims are bitching like a nervous little dog tied up outside, cold, hungry & lonely:   barking incessantly. Their barking is both a threat to our liberty and an opportunity to expose Islam's damnable doctrines.  We must repulse the threat and exploit the opportunity.

threat:

    On September 22, 2010, Pakistan's delegate to the United Nations Human Rights Council submitted a draft resolution condemning International Burn a Qur'an Day.  The draft is a single page packed with feces, some old and stale, some fresh and pungent. [Emphasis added to quotes for clarity.]

stale feces

    The preamble contains  abusive  perversion  by reference to the U.N. Charter,  the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, ICERD & ICCPR.  It continues with a disingenuous call for one sided inter-cultural  dialogue.  It extends its spew of feces by  conflating criticism of Islam with racism by reference to the United Nations Millennium Declaration.  It aggravates the offense by conflating criticism with physical violence.

•     Reaffirming the pledge made by all States under the Charter of the United Nations to
  promote and encourage universal respect for and observance of human rights and fundamental
  freedoms for all, without distinction as to race, sex, language or religion,

    Human rights belong to individual humans, not to groups, associations or institutions.  There is no right to be shielded by coercive force from all questioning and criticism.

• Reaffirming also that all human rights are universal, indivisible, interdependent and  interrelated,

    This is exemplary kitman, the Islamic art & science of deception by obfuscation.  They are equating a non-existent & unstated right to be  shielded from criticism with our right of free expression.  The reaffirmation is boiler plate taken from previous Defamation of Religions resolutions.  The implicit false premise: "our right to be shielded from criticism  negates your right of free expression; you can't say anything about our demon, profit, doctrines or practices".

• Reaffirming further that discrimination between human beings on the grounds of
   religion or belief constitutes an affront to human dignity and a disavowal of the principles of
  the Charter of the United Nations, and shall be condemned as a violation of the human rights
  and fundamental freedoms proclaimed in the Universal Declaration of Human Rights and
  enunciated in detail in the International Covenants on Human Rights, and as an obstacle to
  friendly and peaceful relations between nations,

    Pastor Jones proposed to burn an unholy book.  That is not an act of discrimination, it is a condemnation of a set of evil doctrines & practices. Condemning & incineration of the demon's manifesto of predation is not discrimination, nor does it pose an obstacle to peaceful international relations.  All of the threats and violence came from the other side, who burned flags & Bibles, destroyed property and killed people in their riots;  none came from the Dove World Outreach Center. 

• Welcoming also the resolve expressed in the United Nations Millennium Declaration,
   adopted by the General Assembly in its resolution 55/2 on 8 September 2000, to take
  measures to eliminate the increasing acts of racism and xenophobia in many societies and to
  promote greater harmony and tolerance in all societies, and looking forward to its effective implementation at all levels, [Emphasis added.]

    The preliminary document for the recent Durban Conference contains  the key to the emphasized expression. Pay close attention to this, which constitutes a demonic distortion of the English language. I added the bold red font to make the evil  clause stand out.

4.  Emphasizes the urgent need to address the scourges of anti-Semitism, Christianophobia, and Islamophobia as contemporary forms of racism as well as racial and violent movements based on racism and discriminatory ideas directed at African, Arab, Christian, Jewish, Muslim and other communities;

The U.N. has equated opposition to Islam with racism.  Islam is not a race. Arab is a race; Islam, invented by an Arab,  enslaves Arabs, Africans, Asians & Europeans.  If we condemn Islam's sanctification  of mandatory genocidal conquest through terrorism, we are automatically branded as racist.   The intent is to silence us; to shut down debate arbitrarily.

fresh feces

    The novel crap is contained in a five point enumerated list of action items.

    Noting with deep concern the instances of intolerance, discrimination, profiling and
acts of violence against Muslims occurring in many parts of the world,

1. Condemns in this regard the recent call by an extremist group to organize a ‘Burn a Koran Day’; 
2. Condemns also any advocacy of religious hatred that constitutes incitement to I hatred, discrimination, hostility or violence; 
3. Calls upon the international community to stand united against such events which undermine peaceful coexistence between nations and create an environment  conducive to violence; reprisal
4. Calls upon also all States to condemn and oppose, in accordance with their obligations, under international human rights law, any advocacy of national, racial or religious hatred that constitutes incitement to hatred, discrimination, hostility  and violence;  
5. Urges the international community to support all international and regional initiatives to promote cross-cultural and interfaith harmony.

extremist group

    Extremist connotes violent tendencies.  In common parlance, the Muslims who slaughter innocents in the name of Allah are labeled "extremists".  Who has Pastor Jones and his Dove World Outreach Center threatened?  Who have they assaulted?  Who have they killed?  They condemned and expressed an intention to burn the book which inspires & motivates terrorists.  What is extreme about that?

    This term of opprobrium, delivered in the absence of definition and evidence, constitutes  libel and slander.  Pakistan's delegate ought to be sued for libel and so should the UNHRC  when it passes that resolution.

incitement

    Exactly what did Pastor Jones say that incited anyone to hate Muslims?  Exactly what did he say that incited anyone to assault Muslims?  Precisely who acted on that incitement?  Did he brandish a sword and shout "Crusade, Crusade, Crusade! ?

undermine peaceful coexistence

    Did Pastor Jones call for war?  Did his congregation march upon  Pakistan's embassy hurling snones and firebombs?  Who  rioted?  Who incited them to riot?  Did they listen to the Pastor's sermon or their Imam's Kutbah at Juma Salat?

condemn and oppose

    President Obama, Secretary of State Clinton & General Petraeus  condemned and opposed  International Burn a Qur'an Day. They met their obligations. What more  do you demand?  Note the repetition of boiler plate from an earlier point.  What is its source?

ICCPR

Article 20

1. Any propaganda for war shall be prohibited by law.
2. Any advocacy of national, racial or religious hatred that constitutes incitement to discrimination, hostility or violence shall be prohibited by law.

The United Nations
INTERNATIONAL COVENANT ON
CIVIL AND POLITICAL RIGHTS

That just happens to be an international human rights covenant, legally binding on and enforceable against signatories.

opportunity

    The enemy has pointed out our best weapon against it!  We have an opportunity to pick up and deploy that weapon.

demand enforcement of Art. 20!

1.  Any propaganda for war shall be prohibited by law.

What institution violates that provision in its immutable constitution?  I have a clue for you: Pastor Jones proposed to burn it.

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.

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.

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.

9:38. O you who believe! What is the matter with you, that when you are asked to march forth in the Cause of Allâh (i.e. Jihâd) you cling heavily to the earth? Are you pleased with the life of this world rather than the Hereafter? But little is the enjoyment of the life of this world as compared with the Hereafter.

9:39. If you march not forth, He will punish you with a painful torment and will replace you by another people, and you cannot harm Him at all, and Allâh is Able to do all things.

9:123. O you who believe! Fight those of the disbelievers who are close to you, and let them find harshness in you, and know that Allâh is with those who are the Al-Muttaqûn (the pious - see V.2:2

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.

    If that ain't propaganda for war, what the Hell is?      ICCPR 20.1 requires that it be proscribed by law.  Who will enforce 20.1?

2. Any advocacy of national, racial or religious hatred that constitutes incitement to discrimination, hostility or violence shall be prohibited by law.

1:6. Guide us to the Straight Way 

1:7. The Way of those on whom You have bestowed Your Grace, not (the way) of those who earned Your Anger (such as the Jews), nor of those who went astray (such as the Christians). 

2:161. Verily, those who disbelieve, and die while they are disbelievers, it is they on whom is the Curse of Allâh and of the angels and of mankind, combined.

98:6. Verily, those who disbelieve (in the religion of Islâm, the Qur'ân and Prophet Muhammad ()) from among the people of the Scripture (Jews and Christians) and Al-Mushrikûn will abide in the Fire of Hell. They are the worst of creatures.

98:7. Verily, those who believe [in the Oneness of Allâh, and in His Messenger Muhammad ()) including all obligations ordered by Islâm] and do righteous good deeds, they are the best of creatures.

Reliance of the Traveller, o.11.5 lists discriminations against non-Muslim subjects.

-2- are distinguished from Muslims in dress, wearing a wide cloth belt (zunnar); 

-3- are not greeted with "as-Salamu 'alaykum";

-4- must keep to the side of the street;

-5- may not build higher than or as high as the Muslims' buildings, though if they acquire a tall house, it is not razed;

-6- are forbidden to openly display wine or pork, (A: to ring church bells or display crosses,) recite the Torah or Evangel aloud, or make public display of their funerals and feastdays;

-7- and are forbidden to build new churches.

    If the cited ayat ain't incitement to & the cited Shari'an ain't discrimination against Jews & Christians,  what the Hell is?  ICCPR  20.2 requires that it be proscribed by law.l  Who will enforce 20.2?

    It is expected that the draft resolution condemning International  Burn a Qur'an Day will be debated and voted on this week.  It is certain that it will pass because the OIC and its allies have a majority of seats in the HRC.   This gives us a brief moment of opportunity. Let us seize it!!

International Qur'an Petition

    The petition linked immediately above cites the relevant provisions of ICCPR, ICERD & CPPCG and the Islamic doctrines which violate them.  It prays to the World Court for enforcement of those provisions which require civilized signatories to outlaw Islam.

    The link is to an html formatted copy which contains links to source texts. At the end of the text, it contains a signature link. I  urge you to  copy the petition, paste it into an email and send it to everyone you can hope to influence with an exhortation to sign and forward it.  Signing and promoting this petition is the best hope we have of prevailing over an existential foe which seeks to silence our protest against its intention to enslave us.

     U.N. resolutions are not binding, they lack the force of law.  ICERD can be enforced. At the end of November, the Ad Hoc Committee for the Elaboration of Complementary Standards will meet to write the resolutions into ICERD.  You can kiss the First Amendment goodbye, because it will be passed, signed and ratified.

    Our only hope of retaining our liberty  rests in raising the cost of this attack above the price Islam is willing to pay.  We must link full exposure of the Qur'an's evil contents to their attack against our free expression right.  We must do it now, while it is still legally possible.

    Act now if you love liberty and want to preserve it for yourself and your progeny.  Sign and propagate the International Qur'an Petition. Copy and cross post this blog post.  Seize the opportunity, it may be our last.
