Everywhere
I listen, they are claiming that ISIS and other terrorists are not true
Muslims, or are hijackers of their faith.
Hence we hear all sorts of excuses about what makes people
self-radicalize or join a radical group.
Obama and company seem to be saying that it comes from lack of
opportunity and no jobs for Islamic youth.
In
actual fact the demographics and teachings of Islam point in exactly the opposite
direction, that it is the religion itself that radicalizes. A central deficiency of Islam is that God has
no love and all people go to hell upon death except those who earn God’s favor
to heaven by doing a life-ending jihad.
These “martyrs” circumvent hell and go straight to heaven. What of the other Muslims who are in
hell? God lets them suffer for a time,
some forever. “But for him whose balance [of good deeds] is light, he will have
his home in hell.” Sura 101:6-9. God has
some mercy but it is unpredictable. Hence individuals are in competition for
God’s attention.
Doctor
Mark Gabriel, 15 years an imam of Giza, Egypt and scholar of Al-Azhar
University of Egypt (Most prestigious Muslim school in Cairo), says that
Muslims are scared to death of hell.
Reza Safa, former Iranian terrorist, calls Muslims a people terrorized
by their own belief. What do you do if
you are a Muslim who has it all—money, career, family, education? Your final act of life is to do jihad and go
to heaven. Gabriel says that Allah is
something of a cosmic sadist who loves to lead people astray (Sura 6:39,126),
and is full of discrimination against women, Christians, and Jews.”There is no
guarantee of Paradise, even if you do good works all your life. It all depends on what Allah decides.”
Gabriel, Islam and Terrorism, pg.27
And
so if you look at the demographics of terrorists, you don’t see dregs of
society, men of hopelessness, committing jihadic violence. It is upstanding citizens. The nineteen 9/11 bombers were all foreign
students or engineers working in USA. Just think how privileged they were,
select students from a third world country to study in America, and well-paid
professionals. The 4 doctors who bombed the Glasgow airport terminal were
physicians working in England. The
underwear bomber’s father was an important official in an African government
who tried to warn US authorities of his son.
Usama bin Laden was heir to a billion dollars. These are not hopeless goatherders. These are influential folks.
What
then of all the peaceful Muslims? Safa
says that these are people who don’t take the faith too seriously, like half-agnostic
Christians. “Secularized Muslims.”
And
the religion is also politics intermingled inseparably. Mawlana Abul Ala Mawdudi, the founder of
Pakistan’s fundamentalist movement writes, “Islam is not a normal religion like
other religions…are very special because they have a command from Allah to rule
the entire world and to be over every nation in the world. Islam can use every power available every way
it can be used to bring worldwide revolution.
This is jihad.” The Arabic word
for war is also the word for deception.
Abi Hamid Al Gahazali, founder of Sufism states: “Know this that lying
is not a sin by itself, but if it brings harm to you it could be ugly. However, you can lie if that will keep you
from evil or if it will result in prosperity.”
It is also held by most Muslim sects that if a leader is not behaving
according to the Quran, you can denounce him as apostate and kill him. (Justified
by the Haditha or writings about Mohammad, which are sacred as is the Quran.)
Thus ISIS kills fellow Muslims from the Shiite sect or Jordan or Turkey.
The mindset
is to fight evil. Fight evil and win is
to win glory. Fight evil and lose is to
win God’s favor. Either way, you just
fight evil that you perceive.
Consequently, there is no compromise
with a jihadist. Social programs don’t
work. Appeasement doesn’t work. And it is all in the teaching of the Quran,
Haditha, and Sharia.
