Saying that Islam is not compatible with terror ignores reality
July 26 2005

There is a justifiable and even laudatory urge not to paint all believers in a so-called faith, with the same brush. One could term Islam a so-called faith since it is more a political doctrine of submission than anything spiritual. But being politically correct and stating that Islam is a peaceful religion and terror does not represent Islam, is a sign of weakness, not moral strength. Ignoring the obvious only benefits evil. The history of Islamic jihad against the West, Asia, India, Africa and even intra-Islam, has been ongoing in various forms for 1400 years. Listen to what the Islamacists from Bin Laden, to Islamic scholars, to Imams, to fanatical crowds in mosques and soccer stadiums are sayng – they want the complete destruction of the West. These people are not atheists, animists, Christians, sun worshippers or nature lovers. They are Islamic.

The Toronto Sun, a purportedly right of centre newspaper writes a baseless editorial titled, ‘Don’t Blame Islam’. The CBC and BBC expunge the word terrorism from their web-site’s focusing instead on analysis and understanding - as if terror is based on sound logic and rational thinking. Islamic groups in Canada and elsewhere, almost 4 years after 9-11, sign declarations or make pronouncements that terror does not befit their religion. Islamic terror has been a fact of modern life since 1968, so sorry the compassionate Imam’s are a bit late with their PR statements. The entire history of Islam has been one of war, terror, and aggression. [see Islam is a philosophy of violence] Unacceptable acts, treachery, and barbaric murder, all under the flag of Islam, demand an unwavering political-military and financial response. We don’t need silly editorials saying ‘Don’t blame Islam’.

Islam is certainly to blame. The doctrine of Islam is fascistic in concept. Total submission and ‘religious’ state control is anathema to the Western experience, yet this is what Islam wants. The only ‘moderate’ Islamicists are those who reject their very faith and embrace Western ideals. Mullah’s in the West, many using the welfare systems are openly calling for the establishment of Caliphates. In the UK for the past 20 years while on welfare, Sheik Omar Bakri has been busy denouncing the UK state and urging his followers who number in the thousands, to overthrow the UK government. If this is not treason, than what is? Why do the Brits, Canadians and Americans put up with Imams who verbally abuse their host nations and call for revolution? Allowing 5th columns to enrage growing Islamic populations is possibly a bad security risk.

Bin Laden has repeatedly stated that the US is the only obstacle to Islamic world wide revolution – and the US is therefore his main focus. Such an attitude informs his preoccupation in drudging up every historical grievance from US slavery, to Hiroshima, to Israeli support, to the Iraq war, in generating anti-US hysteria. Of course Bin Laden and like minded reductionists leave out the billions in US foreign aid sent yearly to Islamic countries, the defense by US forces of Muslim nations and peoples in Somalia, the Middle East, Afghanistan, and the Balkans; and the acceptance by the US of some 3 million Muslims to live in relative harmony amongst the dhimmi heathen. Such niceties are forgotten in a time of war.

So for Bin Laden and his fans, terror is legitimate against the Great Satan. Millions of Muslims support this idea. In a recent Middle East survey a majority of people said that terror against civilians was acceptable. This support transcended Sunni-Shiite groups and nations. This contempt for human life, in the great struggle to convert the heathen or dhimmi, is the true root cause of Islamic terror. Islam like all fascist movements, is predominantly a death cult. The Islamic death cult has proven itself sublime in murdering innocents from a variety of faiths, races, and nations.

It must be hard being a Muslim in the West. The embrace of rational Western thought immediately demands the rejection of a fascist political theology. This must be the torment of the average Western educated Muslim. How much stock should an educated Muslim put into a moon cult theology with fascist overtones built in the 7th century pagan Arabian desert ? Unless Islam radically transforms itself and proves itself worthy as a political-social construct and organizing principle in the modern world, it must be viewed for what it is – an ideology of fascism. After all Lenin, Stalin and Hitler used the same religious fervor to justify their domination and evil creeds. To say that Islam is responsible for terror is politically incorrect – but entirely accurate.
