Muslims Against Sharia

Evidently they want to keep Iman & Salat and chuck out everything else. I doubt that its possible, but-- if they can bring it off, the effects would be life saving. Imagine Islam totally pacified, without violence!

At minimum, their efforts may wake a few Muslims up to reality. I learned about Muslims Against Sharia from a post at Jihad Chat. Here is a sample.

OUR GOALS

• to educate Muslims about dangers presented by Islamic religious texts and why Islam must be reformed
• to educate non-Muslims about the differences between moderate Muslims and Islamists (a.k.a. Islamic Religious Fanatics, Radical Muslims, Muslim Fundamentalists, Islamic Extremists or Islamofascists)
• to educate both Muslims and non-Muslims alike that Moderate Muslims are also targets of Islamic Terror

The need for reform
Islam, in its present form, is not compatible with principles of freedom and democracy. Twenty-first century Muslims have two options: we can continue the barbaric policies of the seventh century perpetuated by Hassan al-Banna, Abdullah Azzam, Yassir Arafat, Ruhollah Khomeini, Osama bin Laden, Muslim Brotherhood, al-Qaeda, Hizballah, Hamas, Hizb-ut-Tahrir, etc., leading to a global war between Dar al-Islam (Islamic World) and Dar al-Harb (non-Islamic World), or we can reform Islam to keep our rich cultural heritage and to cleanse our religion from the reviled relics of the past. We, as Muslims who desire to live in harmony with people of other religions, agnostics, and atheists choose the latter option. We can no longer allow Islamic extremists to use our religion as a weapon. We must protect future generations of Muslims from being brainwashed by the Islamic radicals. If we do not stop the spread of Islamic fundamentalism, our children will become homicidal zombies.

That is a small sample from their manifesto. Follow the link in this next excerpt to a long, detailed list of violent verses to be expunged.

• Outdated verses
  The following verses promote divisiveness and religious hatred, bigotry and discrimination. They must be either removed from the Koran or declared outdated and invalid, and marked as such.

And violence?

• Islam vs. violence
  Islam has no place for violence. Any person calling for an act of violence in the name of Islam must be promptly excommunicated. Any grievances must be addressed by lawful authorities. It is the religious and civic duty of every Muslim to unconditionally condemn any act of terrorism perpetrated in the name of Islam. Any Muslim group that has ties to terrorism in any way, shape, or form, must be universally condemned by both religious and secular Muslims.

Are they sincere? I believe they are. The group’s President endorsed the No2Jihad petition. That involves forswearing terrorism against Israel, the ultimate test for a Muslim.

Lets show some sincere support for www.reformislam.org. Blog them up and spread the word, particularly to your Moderate Muslim friends and associates. If Islam is to reform, it must start from within, and this effort could be the start.

Breakfast With The President On The South Lawn...UPDATED

From Mary Katharine Ham

This is what we should all learn:

A Leader (though some disagree with him at times)

The White House Is Pretty Cool

Marines In The Mix...Brothers

We assaulted The Hill today, 250+ Vets For Freedom in alliance with nearly 600 of Families United. We spoke with our Representatives and our Senators. Most of them were completely on our side and some of them were receptive. The others were flat-out losers.

We had a press conference around 1430 hours. Naturally, the moonbats just felt it a requirement to break the laws...again...and were arrested. I believe 4 or 5 were arrested because we ignored them. However, all 250+ of us diligently observed the Code Wacko Pinko Moonbat Fruit Loops as they unlawfully unfurled their banners, keeping a keen eye for this one.


The Capital Police and the DC Police were on hand, knowing that 250 + veterans and currently active duty would not allow the banner to be raised. The above banner was not presented and that is a good thing for all concerned.

I find it curious that we, professional warriors, do not feel the need to disrupt moonbat rallies. Yet, the Moonbats in the Fruit Loop Brigades, feel it needful to disrupt ours. Why is that? Oh. Wait. Fruit Loops have no respect for anyone or anything but themselves. I forgot.

As we were getting on stage and waiting for many Congress Critters to arrive, the moonbats began to chant something retarded like "healthcare not warfare." They were drowned out by Kansas:

Carry on my wayward son
There'll be peace when you are done
Lay your weary head to rest
Don't you cry no more

Once I rose above the noise and confusion
Just to get a glimpse beyond this illusion
I was soaring ever higher
But I flew too high

Though my eyes could see I still was a blind man
Though my mind could think I still was a mad man
I hear the voices when I'm dreaming
I can hear them say

Carry on my wayward son
There'll be peace when you are done
Lay your weary head to rest
Don't you cry no more

Once I rose above the noise and confusion
Just to get a glimpse beyond this illusion
I was soaring ever higher
But I flew too high

Though my eyes could see I still was a blind man
Though my mind could think I still was a mad man
I hear the voices when I'm dreaming
I can hear them say

Carry on my wayward son
There'll be peace when you are done
Lay your weary head to rest
Don't you cry no more

Masquerading as a man with a reason
My charade is the event of the season
And if I claim to be a wise man, well
It surely means that I don't know

On a stormy sea of moving emotion
Tossed about I'm like a ship on the ocean
I set a course for winds of fortune
But I hear the voices say

Carry on my wayward son
There'll be peace when you are done
Lay your weary head to rest
Don't you cry no more

NO!

Carry on, you will always remember
Carry on, nothing equals the splendor
The center lights around your vanity
But surely heaven waits for you

Carry on my wayward son
There'll be peace when you are done
Lay your weary head to rest
Don't you cry (don't you cry no more)

They behaved for a while. But, alas, spoiled children NOT getting their way and sorely outnumbered, just had to begin their disruptive bull and cutting a long story short, 4 of 5 of their number were arrested and carted off and we stood tall, confident and professional...not that we didn't want to severely trounce some more trolls, we did not take the bait...they took ours as they always do.

Not only did we make history on 9/15/2007, we also made history today, 9/18/2007. The opposition has lost their momentum and we could see it in their countenance last Saturday and again today as we met them in the Halls of Congress. We did not see all that many in either House and when we saw them on the street, they could not maintain eye contact with warriors.

The more I review the videos of 9/15/2007 and the more I go by one frame at a time, I notice that the bloated numbers of our opposition is most assuredly NOT what they claim. I am nearly convinced that we had them outnumbered again. Last March we had them outnumbered 3 to 1.

Today, we had them outnumbered nearly 12 to 1. Naturally, the Lame Stream Media plays it another way. We have our own videos and Vets For Freedom will post them as they conclude their activities of this rally in a few days.

We have the momentum and with the CONgress Critters and the usual suspects of ignorance, we have them beat and it will only be a matter of time before the full impact of the MoveOn infamous ad and the "special" Code Pinko Banner takes its full effect; we have them on the run and they'll not recover.

UDATE! The Texas Vets split up into three groups...our groups visited Sessions, Bernice Johnson, Burgess, Carter, Hutchison, Cornyn, Sam Johnson.

The only ones we have pics with is Burgess and he is very much on board:

Pastor Ed and myself met up with Forest Langley, a thrice decorated Iraq War Hero.

The poetry written by Forest Langley is outstanding and one day, I will be able to read an entire piece. There are too many ghosts and demons in my life at this time and reading Forest's material brings them rushing in...perhaps that is a good thing...I cannot say at this point.

Wake Up America, Do The Right Thing and Mary Katharine Ham all have excellent and multiple posts covering this day that Pastor Ed and myself attended and stood with our brothers and sisters...fellow True Patriots.

And yes, I do and always will call into question the patriotism of others that support people that say it is OK to murder American Troops.

Buzz?
