Raymond Ibrahim: Islam's Black Flag Flies over Egypt

Over at FrontPage Magazine (via RaymondIbrahim.com), I place the U.S. Embassy in Cairo attack in context:

The United States embassy of Egypt is under siege. According to Fox News, "Mainly ultraconservative Islamist protesters climbed the walls of the U.S. Embassy in Egypt's capital Tuesday and brought down the flag, replacing it with a black flag with an Islamic inscription to protest a video attacking Islam's prophet, Muhammad. Hundreds of protesters marched to the embassy in downtown Cairo …. Dozens of protesters then scaled the embassy walls, went into the courtyard and took down the flag from a pole. They brought it back to the crowd outside, which tried to burn it, but failing that, tore it apart. The protesters on the wall then raised on the flagpole a black flag with the Muslim declaration of faith on it, 'There is no god but God and Muhammad is his prophet.' The flag, similar to the banner used by al-Qaida, is commonly used by ultraconservatives around the region…. By evening, the protest grew with thousands standing outside the embassy, chanting 'Islamic, Islamic. The right of our prophet will not die.' A group of women in black veils and robes that left only their eyes exposed chanted, 'Worshippers of the Cross, leave the Prophet Muhammad alone.'"

Some clarifications for context: Islam's black flag with the shehada and sword inscription is not an al-Qaeda banner but rather Islam's most ancient banner, popularized by the Abbasid caliphs in the 800s. In other words, these protesters were not imitating al-Qaeda; rather they—and al-Qaeda—are imitating Islam's heritage, replete with jihad against the infidel. Same with the phrase "worshippers of the cross"—Islam's ancient appellation for the hated Christians.

The reason behind this latest rampage is Muslim outrage over the appearance of a film deemed offensive about the Islamic prophet Muhammad. Apparently it depicts him inciting jihads, deceiving people, and exercising his libido—not unlike what is recorded in Islam's own authoritative biographies and hadiths of the prophet. It is not exactly clear who made the video, though Egyptian expatriates and Copts are being accused, possibly in conjunction with Pastor Terry Jones. In other words, the reason for this latest bit of Muslim outrage is once again the issue of free speech—in the same camp of Danish Muhammad cartoons, burned Korans, and any number of other freedoms of expression exercised by non-Muslims, and even Muslims.

The U.S.'s formal response to this terror campaign against its embassy and the desecration of the American flag has, once again, been to lay the blame on free speech. In a statement, the U.S. said, "The Embassy of the United States in Cairo condemns the continuing efforts by misguided individuals [film makers] to hurt the religious feelings of Muslims—as we condemn efforts to offend believers of all religions. We firmly reject the actions by those who abuse the universal right of free speech to hurt the religious beliefs of others."...

And in Benghazi, Libya:

"US official dies in Libya consulate attack in Benghazi"


http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-africa-19562692

Call me stupid, but how can one ''hurt the religious beliefs'' of anyone with True belief ?

This is like watching a World War 2 movie that lasts 1,000 hours.

Let's see how long our dimwitted fellow Westerners can put off the inevitable. I have faith in their obtuse resolve. We're in for a long ride -- how does forever feel like, asked Doris Day. The only snag is all the people who are going to be mass-murdered by Muslims in the coming decades while we dawdle with our earnestly misplaced priorities.

I've never wished I was wronger in my life.

It is now approximately mid-September, 2012.

Looking ahead, what do people realistic think a more "fully Islamic" Egypt will look like in ten years time?

To say the least, it's not gonna be a pretty sight. For as anyone with any realistic grasp of Islamic theology and history knows -

The more Islam that gets applied, the worse things get.

Damn sure wouldn't want to be a Coptic Christian or a women trapped in Egypt considering the direction that this "newly" Islamized country is clearly heading...

Should Women Respect Muhammad and His Islam?

Muslims love to claim that Islam has granted women equal rights. Sadly, this is not true. The Qur'an states several times that women are to be granted less rights then those enjoyed by men.

This article will examine the status of women and their rights according to Islam, as well as some of the many disgusting things that Muhammad said regarding women.

The inherent oppression and degradation of women in Islam is abhorrent. For every good thing Muhammad’s Islam says about women, one can easily find a passage referring to women in the most unkindly of lights. Such is the reality of the fundamentally contradictory religion of Islam. One minute Islam is the perfect religion of peace and justice - the next it commands Muslims to maim, murder and subjugate others. Muslim women should learn the truth about Islam, and fast, if they truly care about their daughters and the future of women in general.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

In controversial verse 4:34 of the Qur'an, men are told to beat their disobedient wives after first warning them and then sending them to sleep in separate beds. This horrendous verse approves of and even sanctions, domestic abuse. As we shall see momentarily, Islamic theology also permits slavery and rape. No person of sound mind and good heart could believe that this is the wish of god. Islam is nothing more than the cult of a long dead, selfish little mad man named Muhammad ibn Abdullah.

Qur'an, 4:34:

Men have authority over women because God has made the one superior to the other, and because they spend their wealth to maintain them. Good women are obedient. They guard their unseen parts because God has guarded them. As for those from whom you fear disobedience, admonish them and send them to beds apart and beat them. Then if they obey you, take no further action against them. Surely God is high, supreme.

Here is an examination of how other translators render this controversial passage:

Pickthall: "and scourge them"
Yusuf Ali: "(And last) beat them (lightly)"
Al-Hilali/Khan: "(and last) beat them (lightly, if it is useful)"
Shakir: "and beat them"
Sher Ali: "and chastise them"
Khalifa: "then you may (as a last alternative) beat them"
Arberry: "and beat them"
Rodwell: "and scourge them"
Sale: "and chastise them"
Asad: "then beat them"

Hadith, Sunan Abu-Dawud, Book 11, Number 2142:

Narrated Umar ibn al-Khattab:
The Prophet (peace_be_upon_him) said: A man will not be asked as to why he beat his wife.

The Qur'an permits Muslim men to marry up to four wives, and have sex with their slave girls if they want to do so:

004:003 "If ye fear that ye shall not be able to deal justly with the orphans, marry women of your choice, two or three or four; but if ye fear that ye shall not be able to deal justly (with them), then only one, or (A CAPTIVE) that your RIGHT HANDS POSSESS, that will be more suitable, to prevent you from doing injustice"

According to Muhammad and his Islam, a woman’s testimony is worth half that of a man’s:

002:282 "Get two witnesses, out of your own men, and if there are not two men, then a man and two women, such as ye choose, for witnesses, so that if one of them errs, the other can remind her"

The Qur'an compares women to a field (tilth) that a man is free to use when, and as he chooses:

002.223
Your wives are as a tilth unto you; so approach your tilth when or how ye will; but do some good act for your souls beforehand; and fear Allah. And know that ye are to meet Him (in the Hereafter), and give (these) good tidings to those who believe.

Hadith, Sahih Bukhari, Vol. 1, Book 6, No. 301:

Narrated Abu Said Al-Khudri:
Once Allah's Apostle went out to the Musalla (to offer the prayer) o 'Id-al-Adha or Al-Fitr prayer. Then he passed by the women and said, "O women! Give alms, as I have seen that the majority of the dwellers of Hell-fire were you (women)." They asked, "Why is it so, O Allah's Apostle ?" He replied, "You curse frequently and are ungrateful to your husbands. I have not seen anyone more deficient in intelligence and religion than you. A cautious sensible man could be led astray by some of you." The women asked, "O Allah's Apostle! What is deficient in our intelligence and religion?" He said, "Is not the evidence of two women equal to the witness of one man?" They replied in the affirmative. He said, "This is the deficiency in her intelligence. Isn't it true that a woman can neither pray nor fast during her menses?" The women replied in the affirmative. He said, "This is the deficiency in her religion."

The Qur'an allows Muslim men to marry pre-pubescent girls, stipulating that Islamic divorce procedures shall apply to those who have not yet menstruated.

065.004
YUSUFALI: Such of your women as have passed the age of monthly courses, for them the prescribed period, if ye have any doubts, is three months, and for those who have no courses (it is the same): for those who carry (life within their wombs), their period is until they deliver their burdens: and for those who fear Allah, He will make their path easy.

PICKTHAL: And for such of your women as despair of menstruation, if ye doubt, their period (of waiting) shall be three months, along with those who have it not. And for those with child, their period shall be till they bring forth their burden. And whosoever keepeth his duty to Allah, He maketh his course easy for him.

SHAKIR: And (as for) those of your women who have despaired of menstruation, if you have a doubt, their prescribed time shall be three months, and of those too who have not had their courses; and (as for) the pregnant women, their prescribed time is that they lay down their burden; and whoever is careful of (his duty to) Allah He will make easy for him his affair.

Muhammad was a deranged con man who has betrayed women. Muhammad has betrayed all of mankind, in fact. Here is some more of what Muhammad said and did:

Hadith, Sahih Bukhari, Volume 4, Book 54, Number 460:

Narrated Abu Huraira:
Allah's Apostle said, "If a husband calls his wife to his bed (i.e. to have sexual relation) and she refuses and causes him to sleep in anger, the angels will curse her till morning."

Hadith, Sahih Muslim, Book 008, Number 3371:

Abu Sirma said to Abu Sa'id al Khadri (Allah he pleased with him): 0 Abu Sa'id, did you hear Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) mentioning al-'azl? He said: Yes, and added: We went out with Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) on the expedition to the Bi'l-Mustaliq and took captive some excellent Arab women; and we desired them, for we were suffering from the absence of our wives, (but at the same time) we also desired ransom for them. So we decided to have sexual intercourse with them but by observing 'azl (Withdrawing the male sexual organ before emission of semen to avoid-conception). But we said: We are doing an act whereas Allah's Messenger is amongst us; why not ask him? So we asked Allah's Mes- senger (may peace be upon him), and he said: It does not matter if you do not do it, for every soul that is to be born up to the Day of Resurrection will be born.

"By him in Whose Hand lies my life, a woman can not carry out the right of her Lord, till she carries out the right of her husband. And if he asks her to surrender herself [to him for sexual intercourse] she should not refuse him even if she is on a camel's saddle." -- Ibn Majah 1854

We ex-Muslims living with Islam's formal and informal death penalty for apostasy know for certain that Islam is an evil religion/ideology both in part and on the whole.

Here is a recent statement from a group of Bangladeshi apostates living in the UK explaining the reasons why they have abandoned Islam:

"One who claims to be a messenger of God is expected to live a saintly life. He must not be given to lust, he must not be a sexual pervert, and he must not be a rapist, a highway robber, a war criminal, a mass murderer or an assassin. One who claims to be a messenger of God must have a superior character. He must stand above the vices of the people of his time. Yet Muhammad’s life is that of a gangster godfather. He raided merchant caravans, looted innocent people, massacred entire male populations and enslaved the women and children. He raped the women captured in war after killing their husbands and told his followers that it is okay to have sex with their captives (Qur'an 33:50). He assassinated those who criticized him and executed them when he came to power and became de facto despot of Arabia. Muhammad was bereft of human compassion. He was an obsessed man with his dreams of grandiosity and could not forgive those who stood in his way...

The statement continues,

Muhammad was a narcissist, like Hitler, Saddam or Stalin. He was astute and knew how to manipulate people, but his emotional intelligence was less evolved than that of a 6-year-old child. He simply could not feel the pain of others. He brutally massacred thousands of innocent people and pillaged their wealth. His ambitions were big and as a narcissist he honestly believed he is entitled to do as he pleased and commit all sorts of crimes and his evil deeds are justified."

Ex-Muslim Ali Sina's ongoing challenge to Muslims can be found over at Faith Freedom.org:

The Challenge

I receive many emails from angry Muslims, who sometimes beg me, and sometimes order me to remove this site. I consider both, pleading and bullying, signs of psychopathology. Argumentum ad baculum and argumentum ad misericordiam are both logical fallacies.

If you do not like this site and want me to remove it, instead of acting as a bully or as a victim, disprove my charges against Muhammad logically. Not only will I remove the site, I will publicly announce that Islam is a true religion. I will also pay

$50,000 U.S. dollars

to anyone who can disprove any of the dozen of the accusations that I have made against Muhammad. I accuse Muhammad of being:

a narcissist
a misogynist
a rapist
a pedophile
a lecher
a torturer
a mass murderer
a cult leader
an assassin
a terrorist
a madman
a looter

...These charges are irrefutable. You simply can’t disprove them because they are reported in Islamic sources and as such they are as good as confession...

http://www.faithfreedom.org/the-challenge/the-challenge/

Now is the time for all Americans to put an hour or two aside to gain a complete understanding of Islam.

I'm reading Dr. Andrew B. Bostom"s two books, The Legacy of Islamic Antisemtism and The Legacy of Jihad. I just finished The Professors and and in the middle of Ivory Towers On Sand by Martin Kramer. I urge everybody to please, PLEASE get Dr. Peter Hammond's book Slavery, Terrorism and Islam. You won't regret it I PROMISE you. It's a book for people who think they've read everything on Islam. Maybe so. But this is a GREAT reference book. I've also got Maulana Muhammad ali's "Commentary" Quran. Even though they boast that it's published by "moderate" Muslims, true to form this religion can't help but continually shoot itself in the foot. I've read Taha's The Second Message of Islam and even though I acknowledge him as the "Gahndi of Islam" (Read the article "The Moderate Martyr" by George Packer), and even then his writing is an argument against himself. One of my favorite parts is when he says: "No sooner had we dusted from our hands the soil of the Messenger of God's grave than we disowned our hearts" and "From that point onwards, Islamic civilazation continued to decline". He gives good arguments regarding Abrogation, but when you look at the reality that is Islam it's like pissing in the ocean hoping it will rise... ...the religion is just too corrupt, starting with its founder. Muslims need to see this and books like Hammonds scare the crap out of them. It's a work of art.

Perfect: Thanks

Spencer and Geller are much more experienced and media savvy then Terry Jones, the pastor that “caused” the riots yesterday, but apparently Jones really knows something about ad campaigns and how to irk Islamists.

It’s hilarious how the media treats Jones worse than bin Laden himself because he, along with a group of Middle Eastern Christians, “burned a Koran” and now made a fact-based film that Muslims don’t like. The same media go watch Mormons mocked in “Book of Mormon” on Broadway no less, or a Dennis Leary show ripping the Catholic Church, as though its totally natural for educated people to do, so Christians just needs to get over it (which they have, just as Islamists will need to (lol)).

The media is truly spineless and so is the Obama Administration and the UN for morally siding with the Islamists. So is the DOD for that matter, which is apparently punishing some troops for accidently burning a Koran last year.

Aside from the biker looks, which the elite media hates as “white trash”, Jones is actually a totally rational, decent person with a sophisticated view of what is happening and a long view of what needs to be done. Not sure he’s the best spokesman for counter-jihad, but sometimes you can’t chose how these things turn out. He's got the mic for this week. Three cheers for Pastor Jones!! And a moment of respect for those who Islamists murdered yesterday.

Let us remember, Kristalnacht was based on the pretext that a Jewish kid murdered a Nazi diplomat in France. And let us also remember, some Nazis were "moderate" like the Nazi diplomat who save 100,000 Chinese from being murdered by the Japanese in Nanking. His existence didn't change Nazism or stop the Holocaust.

Apropos of Larry's and SaleemSmith's comments, Muhammad was a man of humble status employed by a wealthy woman, who he eventually married, or who eventually married him. They were childless. With this background he reached out to a Jewish group whom he desired to become his followers and allied to his new concept of religion. The Jews refused him, whereupon he became bitterly angry and full of revenge against the Jews, and later towards, all who refused his claims to their allegiance.
Possibly he was envious of his wife's status and may have felt humiliated, this added to by not having the joy of fathering children, nor a following of his own.
Whatever fine religious beliefs he may have enshrined I am not knowledgeable to comment on, but his accompanying bitterness has given us the ever-present dilemma within Islam. Fine modern world-renowned Muslim scholars, state the need for re-definition of Islam and the acceptance that the Holy Book should be privy to such modification and abrogation.
This indeed could be a contribution to the world as we know it today.

It now seems that the "U.S. official" killed in Benghazi was the U.S. Ambassador, J. Christopher Stevens. Some reports have three additional Consular staff dead. The fruit, no doubt, of "leading from behind." Expect more abject apologies from the White House and State Department.

Which movie was this that Muslims in Cairo and Benghazi are rioting over? And why does the US have a consulate in Benghazi? If it restored ties w/ Libya, how was the embassy in Tripoli not enough?

I'm not sure which is worse, a real historical Mahound, or a fictional Mahound, as Spencer indicates...Either way it's hero creation, out of nothing, or modeled after a real character...Billy the Kid, Wyatt Earp, Jesse James, Butch Cassaday and the Sundance Kid etc, were not hero's in the real world, but heartless murderers and criminals...The same hero creation goes on with Mahound...If he existed in real life, he was a heartless murderous criminal...If he is made up, he is still a heartless, murderous criminal...Real or imaginary, Mahound is the exact opposite of Jesus, who was not a heartless murderer, and never robbed a caravan...Krishna never robbed any caravans either...
Of all histories greatest holy men, only Mahound robbed caravans and villages, killed the men and took women and children as slaves, and put 'hit' contracts out on enemies...Yet to the mentally deprived he is an object of worship, a role model to be emulated in every way...

If that is not dangerously pathetic, I don't know what is...

"Fine modern world-renowned Muslim scholars" get thrown out of high windows for suggesting things like that.
Suliman Bashear at the University of Nablus was thrown out of the window by his scandalized Muslim students. JW March 18 2004
Why bother with philosophical arguments when violence and terrorism will do the job? That is after all the basis of Islam.

Very sad day. Ambassador killed by Muslim crackpots ???

Is this a joke ?
"U.S. said, "The Embassy of the United States in Cairo condemns the continuing efforts by misguided individuals [film makers] to hurt the religious feelings of Muslims—as we condemn efforts to offend believers of all religions. We firmly reject the actions by those who abuse the universal right of free speech to hurt the religious beliefs of others."..."

I guess pulling our Iranian embassy looks brilliant in hind sight !

What is wrong with the Obama administration ?
They are the biggest "Misunderstanders of Islam"

Just watched "My Brother is an Islamist"
A film about a step brother born in Weymouth UK who converted to Islam. Very revealing & I was shocked at the number of Brits converting to Islam. I knew it was bad but not that bad !

I came away from the film realizing that these converts were angry & Islam was a conduit for that anger ! They were radicals & at one point drove around London looking for a radical Mosque . While they drove they spewed hate for the Kafirs walking on the streets. You could feel the hate . Bill boards set them off, girls western attire , a drunk etc just mad them very angry.
Very worthwhile film if you haven't seen it !

Our [United States of America] Embassy in Teheran was stormed by Muslims in 1979 with our Diplomatic Staff held as hostages for over four hundred days.

The combative war-zone working conditions in Iraq at the time required, and still to this very day require, that we Americans fortify a buffer zone around our Embassy in Baghdad.

Just now, we read that our Embassies in both Libya and Egypt have been stormed by Muslims, with the United States Ambassador to Libya.....murdered.

Now.....just what should that tell us Americans?

It tells this American that in a not too distant time in the past these attacks, each individually, would've constituted individual Acts of War against the United States.

Apparently that time is past, was even past at the time of the surprise Muslim attacks upon Manhattan and Washington, D.C., our nation's Capitol.

It tells this American that the sooner we cut off the US Green Dollar Faucet to all Muslim countries as USAID, which is AIDing only their continued active warfare against our Nation, the better off we'll be.

Notice, if you will, what our USAID to Libya and Egypt has yielded, is yielding.

When will we act like we understand that we are at war against all of Muslim/Islam?....especially on this eleventh anniversary of the barbaric deaths of thousands of us Americans directly at the hands of these Muslims?

When will we Americans grasp publicly that our only business in any Muslim country is concentrated in one industry only...oil. So, we must end our dependency upon Muslim oil and exploit our own known natural reserves within American territory.

Our only leverage with these medieval murdering Muslims is our Dollars. They will "feel the pain" upon that withdrawal of their foundational income supporting their own in-country graft and corruption.

Lastly, stricter, much tighter, publicized control of Muslim immigration which only invites admission of their subversive, infiltrating "students" and temporary "visitors" is another method, along with our containment and isolation of Muslim countries, of getting this strange new message across that we can, indeed, be a Learning Nation.

Wake up, America....we're in a long war.

12 September, 2012.

Attacking an embassy is an act of war. Embassies are to be protected by the host government. But islamic sociopaths don't care about or recognize international law. The United States should immediately terminate diplomatic relations with egypt and libya and cease all financial and military assistance. Doing so would recognize the arab spring for what it really is, a jihad against civilization.

The USA response tells all !

If we attacked embassies here like that we would be tried for murder etc !

Obama needs to go and a tougher administration put in power !

He has failed in Fiscal policy & foreign policy !
A once proud America is on it's knees under Obama !

Stop the fraternizing with Muslim enemy states they hate us pure and simple.
Stop funding our enemies ! They are treacherous killers and paling up to them isn't working. We have seen their treachery over and over !

@Dvora

other than "story" ... what info have you that Muhammad existed at all? ... what did his contemporaneous enemies report about him?

At least this latest unreasonable rampage by the followers of 'the perfect Prophet and Messenger' should make a few more of the blind and deaf, who assume their is a difference between moderate and radical Islam, begin to see and hear.

And fear not. We may be sure that CAIR will point out to their Egyptian co-religionists that Islam is not a violent religion and is in every way fully compatible with the Western way of life.
