The courageous ex-Muslim Walid Shoebat has sent in this commentary on his [1] recent encounter with the putative Muslim reformer Khaleel Mohammed. Walid is, of course, the former PLO member who is now a Christian. [2] My own run-in with Mohammed is here.

Quotes by “peaceful” Muslim reformer Khaleel Mohammed:

“Peace ceased when the crusades were launched, and which have not yet ended.”

Khaleel’s mission is simple: to punch America (the crusader) back for the war on Iraq. His other mission is to fight anyone who critques Islam:

“what is wrong with fighting against tyranny and oppression, whether it be intellectual or otherwise? Is this not what the US forces are supposedly in Iraq to do? What makes it right for these predominantly
"Christian" soldiers to do that and not for Muslims to have a similar philosophy?”

Jihad, according to Khaleel, is not war:

“word for war, as Mr. Shoebat ought to know, is Harb, and NOT Jihad.”

His first 'Islamic reformation' speech stated that Jihad is “self-struggle.”

Khaleel knows Jihad very well, not the “self struggle” type:

"I see no reason for Muslims to apologize for Jihad"

To denounce that, will bring Khaleel under Jihad.

Khaleel will NEVER denounce Khaibar massacre of Jews. No apology for Muhammad killing the Jews of Arabia. Khaleel, the Apologist who was educated on Islam in Saudi Arabia, knows well his mission:

“I am a Muslim, and for me to remain quiet in the face of some of the statements made would be to forego my duty of fighting against oppression--especially when it is in the form of intellectual tyranny.”

Yet, Khaleel supports fighting for Islam in America; according to him it's ok to allow Muslim missionaries in America and stop westerners to bring their idiologies to any Muslim country:

“For any Muslim with a brain, the concept of God having a son is the most odious of heresies, and so, it would be retrogressive for Muslim theocracies to open their doors to Christian missionaries, and subject the masses to deviation from the true Abrahamic concept of monotheism (i.e. Judeo-Islamic)..”

According to Khaleel, the Quran supersedes the Judeo-Christian books:

“Qur'an, a document that came AFTER the Christian testament and therefore emended what needed to be emended.”

This is why, according to Khaleel:

“Why did Egypt, Persia etc become Muslim? The answer is simple; the intellectuality of Islam was way above and beyond what they had.”

In other words, Islam supersedes the religions of these countries, as well as what we have in the United States. It is no wonder why Khaleel religiously protects the Islamic world from western ideologies.

According to Khaleel, a major obstacle that stops the reformation of Islam is:

“the status forced on Muslims by non-Muslim powers so that Muslims, instead of trying to genuinely reform their religion, are instead forced to defend against horrendous lies.”

In other words, Khaleel must be busy fighting us, the 'Islamophobes,' instead.

Khaleel writes: "I see two of the most destructive forces on earth as Muslim and Christian missionaries"

The difference, Mr. Khaleel, is that Christian missionaries these days might give you a headache; Muslim missionaries in Muslim countries, however, might just whack your head right off.

Big difference. Don't you think?

Even “dhimmitude,” according to Khaleel, under which Jews and Christians suffered for centuries, is a creation by an Islamophobe. According to Khaleel, dhimmitude is:

“a term coined by one Islamophobe I know”

Dhimmitude is defined by Khaleel as:

"the status in which non-Muslims within an Islamic state must live.”

In summary, Khaleel is right: “Jihad” does mean “self-struggle”, but so does Mein Kampf.

Mr. Khaleel Mohammed is also right that like Mafiatude, Dhimmitude is a “payment for protection,” under which Christians and Jews "must" live.

So much for this great reformer.
