Fighting Terror

Education is key to fighting terror

The Bangkok Post gave that headline to an interview with Jean-Paul Laborde, who heads the U.N.'s Counter-Terrorism Implementation Task Force Office.  Click the link above to read the article, i am digging for coprolites. 

Terrorism has yet to be eradicated after lots of security and law enforcement efforts over several consecutive years, so integrated approaches which uphold the value of educational curricula, promotion of tolerance and protection of human rights are needed for medium-term and sustainable policies to better address the regional and global menace.

yet to be eradicated

    How do you hope to eradicate terrorism without eradicating those who perform it and those who direct them to perform it?

lots of security

    A balloon compressed at any point expands wherever it is not compressed. It is not possible to secure every potential soft target 24/7/365.

law enforcement efforts

    Terrorism is not a law enforcement issue, it is one component of warfare. Since it is inspired by sanctified doctrine and directed by both state and non-state entities, it must be combated on two battlefronts: ideological and military.  Whenever you arrest or kill one terrorist, others will come forward to replace him.

educational curricula

    We do not control the schools in Afghanistan, Saudi Arabia, Pakistan, Lebanon, Syria or Iran. Their text books are not printed in our language. We can not dictate what content they inculcate or how they inculcate it.  The suggestion that it can be done demonstrates the rare height of arrogance achieved by bureaucrats.
   
    Schools in Islamic nations teach the sanctity, necessity & divine obligation of terrorism because they are Islamic. They teach the contents of the Qur'an, Sunnah & Sira because those texts define & exemplify Islam.  If you want to do something about that, eliminate Islam.

promotion of tolerance

    We stupidly tolerate Islam, which seeks to destroy or dominate us; there is no better sign of civilizational insanity.  Islam does not tolerate us because intolerance is ordained by Allah in his book and Moe in his Sunnah.  You can not inject tolerance into Islam because Allah said "whoever seeks a religion other than Islâm, it will never be accepted of him" [3:85] Moe said "I have been ordered to fight the people till they say: 'None has the right to be worshipped but Allah.'".  [Sahih Bukhari 1.8.387]

protection of human rights

    Such as our right to live, secure in our persons and property; or the Muslim's 'right' to kill, enslave, rape, pillage and plunder. Moe said something about that in the hadith cited above, so I will quote the entire saying here. Read it slowly; let the full meaning sink in.

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." Narrated Maimun ibn Siyah that he asked Anas bin Malik, "O Abu Hamza! What makes the life and property of a person sacred?" He replied, "Whoever says, 'None has the right to be worshipped but Allah', faces our Qibla during the prayers, prays like us and eats our slaughtered animal, then he is a Muslim, and has got the same rights and obligations as other Muslims have."

ordered to fight the people

    What could possibly be less tolerant than that?

till they say

    Freedom of religion, anyone?

 then their blood and property will be sacred to us

    Our blood and property are not sacred to Muslims until we become Muslims. Life? liberty? Property?  Kiss them goodbye if you will not eliminate Islam from the earth. Its open season on us so long as Islam exists.

has got the same rights and obligations as other Muslims have 

    Only Muslims have rights. Got a clue yet??    

sustainable policies

    Slowly bleeding to death, sending our soldiers to fight an invisible enemy with suicidal rules of engagement is not sustainable.  Random pat downs & body scans are not sustainable. Waiting for the next bomb to detonate is not sustainable. Constant terror is not sustainable.  Paying tribute is not sustainable. What did President Jefferson do?

In the coming years, greater regional and international cooperation will be very much needed, or we will not have the whole picture of the terrorist groups.

regional and international cooperation

    You might begin by adopting Israel's airline security tactics and continue by accepting her check points and security wall instead of condemning them.

terrorist groups

    There is one terrorist group: Islam.

Violent extremism is still very well spread among the populations. If you don't do something now _ for example, promoting proper Islamic teaching _ in a year or two it will be more dangerous.

Violent extremism

    "Its Islam, stupid."  Islam is intrinsically violent, Allah's jihad imperatives are clearly stated in the Qur'an. [8:39, 9:29]  

proper Islamic teaching

    Islamic teaching consists of the Qur'an, Sunnah, Sira & Fiqh, exactly what they are teaching now: the 'religious obligation' to hate & exterminate Jews and conquer the entire world.  Anything that contradicts the Qur'an & Sunnah will not be accepted, it will be rejected as bida.

    The next coprolite incorporates the questioner's false premise which is included and italicized.

How do you balance recognition of expression of religious freedom and prevention of radicalism, especially in grass-roots education?

We need to promote a culture of peace and of tolerance.

While we speak about freedom of religion, we must address issues of tolerance to respect diversity.

religious freedom

    The right to practice one's religion is restricted to Muslims. Where Allah's writ runs, Jews & Christians are forbidden to build or maintain houses of worship, display crosses, ring bells, pray aloud in public and hold public processions & funerals.  They are not permitted to own or carry weapons, use saddles or testify in court  against a Muslim.

    The practice of Islam involves obedience to Allah & emulation of Moe. It is inseverable, not a la carte. Allah commanded: "fight them until". Jihad is an integral part of the practice of Islam. It can not be ignored, neither can it be stricken from the Qur'an. Believers fight in Allah's cause, killing others and being killed. [9:111] This little sample of fiqh may help you to comprehend the fatal fact.

"The least that the imam must do is that he allow no year to pass without having organised a military expedition by himself, or by his raiding parties, according to the Muslims' interest, so that the jihad will only be stopped in a year for a (reasonable) excuse."

culture of peace and of tolerance

    As already demonstrated, peace & tolerance are polar opposites of Islam. They won't fit and can't be forced.

Of course, there is the insurgency in southern Thailand, but there needs transnational elements before the UN can get involved. Internal terrorism is not our issue.

transnational elements

    The insurgency in southern Thailand is Islamic. Islam is transnational, it crosses borders freely. U.N. bureaucrats are neither intelligent enough nor honest enough to acknowledge that fact.

fighting terror

    Terror is a psychological condition, imposed as a battle tactic for the purpose of rendering a victim incapable of mounting an effective defense.  When stung by a wasp, do you settle for killing the offending wasp?  No, you destroy the nest so that you will not be stung again.  Islam is the source of terrorism. Allah said "I will cast terror".  Allah commanded Muslims to maximize the strength of their army to "strike terror" in their enemies. Allah cast terror, resulting in the death, enslavement and dispossession of local Jewish settlements. Moe bragged that: "I have been made victorious with terror".

    It is not possible to fight terror, you must fight its source: Islam. Believers are motivated by Allah's promise of eternity in the celestial bordello and threat of eternity in the fire.  So long as there are Islamic believers , there will be terrorism.  You have three choices:

1. make them stop believing
2. make them stop breathing
3. suffer continued torment and eventual defeat & enslavement.

The Pope's Vain Hope

My Google Alert for UN Interreligious Dialogue  triggered on  UPI NewsTrack TopNews which revealed that Pope  Benedict XVI issued an apostolic exhortation in which he called upon Islamic countries to reciprocate in religious freedom.

    The full text of  "Verbum Domini" is available at Zenit. It begins with an index, which indicates that it is rather long.  The section of interest to me comes just before the conclusion.

The Word Of God And Interreligious Dialogue

The value of interreligious dialogue [117]
Dialogue between Christians and Muslims [118]
Dialogue with other religions [119]
Dialogue and religious freedom [120]

In this dialogue the Synod asked for a deeper reflection on respect for life as a fundamental value, the inalienable rights of men and women, and their equal dignity. 

life as a fundamental value

    It is a fundamental value to us, but not to Islam.

• 2:212. Beautified is the life of this world for those who disbelieve, ...
• 3:185. ...The life of this world is only the enjoyment of deception (a deceiving thing). 
• 4:74. Let those (believers) who sell the life of this world for the Hereafter fight in the Cause of Allâh, and whoso fights in the Cause of Allâh, and is killed or gets victory, We shall bestow on him a great reward. 
• 6:32. And the life of this world is nothing but play and amusement. ...
• 9:38. ...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.

inalienable rights

Sorry, those are for Muslims only.

• Sahih Bukhari 1.8.387 :
  ...Narrated Maimun ibn Siyah that he asked Anas bin Malik, "O Abu Hamza! What makes the life and property of a person sacred?" He replied, "Whoever says, 'None has the right to be worshipped but Allah', faces our Qibla during the prayers, prays like us and eats our slaughtered animal, then he is a Muslim, and has got the same rights and obligations as other Muslims have."

equal dignity

•  Sahih Bukhari 1.8.387 :   ..."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...

Our blood and property are not sacred to Muslims and we have no rights; a great basis for dialogue indeed. Reliance of the Traveller, book o, Chapter 4 details the indemnity to be paid in the case of manslaughter. Few things reflect Islam's inequity better than this provision of Islamic law.

• o4.9 ...
  

  The indemnity for the death or injury of a woman is one-half the indemnity paid for a man.

  The indemnity paid for a Jew or Christian is one-third of the indemnity paid for a Muslim. The indemnity paid of a Zoroastrian is one-fifteenth of that a Muslim....

 

All the same, dialogue would not prove fruitful unless it included authentic respect for each person and the ability of all freely to practise their religion. Hence the Synod, while encouraging cooperation between the followers of the different religions, also pointed out "the need for the freedom to profess one's religion, privately and publicly, and freedom of conscience to be effectively guaranteed to all believers":[381] indeed, "respect and dialogue require reciprocity in all spheres, especially in that which concerns basic freedoms, more particularly religious freedom. Such respect and dialogue foster peace and understanding between peoples".

 

authentic respect

Yeah, right; our blood & property ain't sacred to them, is there something more we need to know before we tell them where to go?

freedom of religion

• 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.

What does Islamic law say about religious liberty?

• o11.5
  

  -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.

• o11.10

  The agreement is also violated (A: with respect to the offender alone) if the state has stipulated that any of the following things break it, and one of the subjects does so anyway, though if the state has not stipulated that these break the agreement, then they do not; namely, if one of the subject people:

  -1- commits adultery with a Muslim woman or marries her;

  -2- conceals spies of hostile forces;

  -3- leads a Muslim away from Islam;

  -4- kills a Muslim;

  -5- or mentions something impermissible about Allah, the Prophet (Allah bless him and give him peace), or Islam.

Islamic doctrine holds that only Islam is true, that all other belief systems are false or defiled by demonic interjection.  Where Allah's writ runs, Christians are persecuted; that is not going to change.  Islamic doctrine is fixed & immutable.  The relationship between Islam and Christianity is predator : prey.

    As far as Muslims are concerned, they alone have the truth, you have error & doubt.  There is only monologue, no dialogue; it is a one way street.  Religious freedom is for Muslims only. Dignity & rights are for Muslims only. 

    We have a desperate need for leaders, elected, academic & ecclesiastic who know the truth about Islam and have the courage to stand up and declare it.  The rest of us need to be sufficiently informed so that we can detect lies when we hear or read them. 

    For the comprehensive course, read Craig Winn's The Prophet of Doom. It is only 1000 pages long. yet it combines the most essential elements of the Qur'an, hadith, sira & tahrik.  For the short course, read Suhas Majumdar's  Jihad, The Islamic Doctrine of Permanent War.

    If you are willing to read primary sources, you can access the Noble Qur'an which includes bracketed expressions from tafsir and the translator's notes. I gave you a link to the page containing 2:190 because its footnote includes the most honest definition of jihad. You can use navigation links on that page to access any part of the Qur'an.  Sahih Bukhari and three other hadith collections are available at USC-MSA. I gave you a direct link to the first saying in the Book of Jihad. Navigation links are at the top of the page.

    If you prefer to take it all in at once, try Tafsir Ibn Kathir, which combines the Qur'an with relevant hadith and commentary. Each page has a link to its successor. I suggest beginning with Surah 8, continuing through Surah 9.
