Is Islam A Religion Of Peace?

Instead of contorting Western intellectual traditions so as not to offend our Muslim fellow citizens, we need to defend both those traditions and the Muslim dissidents who take great risks to promote them. We should support these brave men and women in every way possible.

I was raised a practicing Muslim and remained one for almost half my life. I attended madrassas,
that is, Islamic schools, and memorized large parts of the Quran. As a child, I lived in Mecca
for a time and frequently visited the Grand Mosque. As a teenager, I sympathized with the
Muslim Brotherhood.

At 22 while my family was living in Kenya, my father arranged my marriage to a member of our
family clan, a man that I had never met. I ran away, made my way to Holland, studied there
and eventually was elected a member of the Dutch parliament. Now I live in the United States.
In short, I have seen Islam from the inside and the outside.

I believe that a reform of Islam is necessary and possible. And only Muslims can make that
reform a reality. But we in the West cannot remain on the sidelines as though the outcome of
this struggle has nothing to do with us. If the jihadists win and the hope for a reformed Islam
dies, the rest of the world will pay a terrible price. The terror attacks in New York, London,
Madrid, Paris and many other places are only a preview for what is to come.

For this reason, I believe that it’s foolish to insist, as Western leaders habitually do, that the
violent acts committed in the name of Islam can somehow be divorced from the religion itself.
For more than a decade, my message has been simple: Islam is not a religion of peace.
When I assert this, I do not mean that Islamic belief makes all Muslims violent. This is
manifestly not the case: There are many millions of peaceful Muslims in the world. What I
do say is that the call to violence and the justifcation for it are explicitly stated in the sacred
texts of Islam. Moreover, this theologically sanctioned violence is there to be activated by
any number of offenses, including but not limited to adultery, blasphemy, homosexuality and
apostasy—that is, to leave Islam.

Those who tolerate this intolerance do so at their own peril.
Those who tolerate this intolerance do so at their own peril.

As someone who has known what it is to live without freedom, I watch in amazement as those
who call themselves liberals and progressives—people who claim to believe so fervently in
individual liberty and minority rights—make common cause with the forces in the world that
manifestly pose the greatest threats to that very freedom and those very minorities.

In 2014 I was invited to accept an honorary degree from Brandeis University for the work I have
done on behalf of women’s rights in the Muslim world. That invitation was withdrawn after
professors and students protested my criticism of Islam. My subsequent “disinvitation,” as it
came to be called, was no favor to Muslims—just the opposite. By labeling critical examination
of Islam as inherently “racist,” we make the chances of reformation far less likely. There
are no limits on criticism of Christianity at American universities…or anywhere else for that
matter. Why should there be of Islam?

Instead of contorting Western intellectual traditions so as not to offend our Muslim fellow
citizens, we need to defend both those traditions and the Muslim dissidents who take great
risks to promote them. We should support these brave men and women in every way possible.
Imagine a platform for Muslim dissidents that communicated their message through YouTube,
Twitter, Facebook, and Instagram. These are the Muslims we should be supporting—for our
sake as much for the sake of Islam.

In the Cold War, the West celebrated dissidents such as Alexander Solzhenitsyn, Andrei
Sakharov, and Václav Havel, who had the courage to challenge the Soviet system from within.
Today, there are many dissidents who challenge Islam, but the West either ignores them or
dismisses them as ´not representative.µ 7his is a grave mistaNe. 5eformers such as 7aZfT
Hamid, Asra Nomani & Zuhdi Jasser and many others must be supported and protected. They
should be as well known as Solzhenitsyn, Sakharov, and Havel were in the 1980s.

If we do in fact support political, social and religious freedom, then we cannot in good
conscience give Islam a free pass on the grounds of multicultural sensitivity. We need to say
to Muslims living in the West: If you want to live in our societies, to share in their material
benefts, then you need to accept that our freedoms are not optional.

Islam is at a cross roads of reformation or self-destruction.
But so is the West.

MUSLIMS - Always Non-American

MUSLIMS SUCK - Always they are Non-American...

Don Caudill Can a Muslim be our friend?

Can a good Muslim be a good American? 
This question was forwarded to a friend who worked in Saudi Arabia for 20 years.
The following is his reply:

Theologically - NO.
Because his allegiance is to Allah, The moon god of Arabia.

Religiously - NO. 
Because no other religion is accepted by His Allah except Islam. (Quran,2:256)(Koran)

Scripturally - NO.
Because his allegiance is to the five Pillars of Islam and the Quran.

Geographically - NO.
Because his allegiance is to Mecca , to which he turns in prayer five times a day.

Socially - NO.
Because his allegiance to Islam forbids him to make friends with Christians or Jews.

Politically - NO.
Because he must submit to the mullahs (spiritual leaders), who teach annihilation of Israel and destruction of America, the great Satan.

Domestically - NO. 
Because he is instructed to marry four Women and beat and scourge his wife when she disobeys him. (Quran 4:34 )

Intellectually - NO.
Because he cannot accept the American Constitution since it is based on Biblical principles and he believes the Bible to be corrupt.

Philosophically - NO.
Because Islam, Muhammad, and the Quran does not allow freedom of religion and expression. ​

DEMOCRACY AND ISLAM CANNOT CO-EXIST.
Every Muslim government is either dictatorial or autocratic.

Spiritually - NO. Because when we declare 'one nation under God,' The Christian's God is loving and kind, while Allah is NEVER referred to as Heavenly father, nor is he ever called love in the Quran's 99 excellent names. Therefore, after much study and deliberation...
Perhaps we should be very suspicious of ALL MUSLIMS in this country. They obviously cannot be both 'good' Muslims and 'good' Americans. Call it what you wish it's still the truth. You had better believe it. The more who understand this, the better it will be for our country and our future.

 The religious war is bigger than we know or understand! Footnote: The Muslims have said they will destroy us from within.
 SO FREEDOM IS NOT FREE. THIS MESSAGE NEEDS TO ROLL ALL OVER THE U.S.  Qur’an:9:88 – “The Messenger and those who believe with him, strive hard and fight with their wealth and lives in Allah’s Cause.” Qur’an:9:5

- “Fight and kill the disbelievers wherever you find them, take them captive, harass them, lie in wait and ambush them using every stratagem of war.” Qur’an:9:112-

 “The Believers fight in Allah’s Cause, they slay and are slain, kill and are killed.” Qur’an:9:29 “Fight those who do not believe until they all surrender, paying the protective tax in submission.” Qur’an:8:39 “Fight them until all opposition ends and all submit to Allah.” Qur’an:8:39 “So fight them until there is no more Fitnah (disbelief [non-Muslims]) and all submit to the religion of Allah alone (in the whole world).” Ishaq:587 “Our onslaught will not be a weak faltering affair.
We shall fight as long as we live.
We will fight until you turn to Islam, humbly seeking refuge.
We will fight not caring whom we meet.
We will fight whether we destroy ancient holdings or newly gotten gains. We have mutilated every opponent.
We have driven them violently before us at the command of Allah and Islam.
We will fight until our religion is established. And we will plunder them, for they must suffer disgrace.” Qur’an:8:65

“O Prophet, urge the faithful to fight. If there are twenty among you with determination they will vanquish two hundred; if there are a hundred then they will slaughter a thousand unbelievers, for the infidels are a people devoid of understanding.” Qur’an:9:123 “Fight the unbelievers around you, and let them find harshness in you.” Ishaq:578 “Crushing the heads of the infidels and splitting their skulls with sharp swords, we continually thrust and cut at the enemy. Blood gushed from their deep wounds as the battle wore them down. We conquered bearing the Prophet’s fluttering war banner. Our cavalry was submerged in rising dust, and our spears quivered, but by us the Prophet gained victory.”
