Exposing the role that Islamic jihad theology and ideology play in the modern global conflicts

“The oppression of non-believers exists in every Islamic country”

Jun 1, 2009 11:47 am By Robert Spencer

Here is part three of Alyssa A. Lappen’s interview of Pamela Geller of Atlas Shrugs at Right Side News (part one is here, and part two here).

Atlas: The oppression of non-believers exists in every Islamic country. Shari’a law is oppressive. All those terrible acts committed in the name of Islam—honor killings, clitorectomies, death for apostasy, death to hypocrites—all happen under shari’a law. This is not under in any way, shape or form compatible with Democratic law. There’s no such thing as a little shari’a law. It’s like being a little bit pregnant. Shari’a taints the law. You cannot introduce this bad blood into good law and end up with good law.

It is like the [1958 classic horror movie] “The Blob. The more the blob consumes, the bigger it gets, the more it eats, the more it morphs into something bigger and bigger. Society is then completely overwhelmed. And we see it in America. We see the introduction of shari’a in America. When workers in Greeley [Colorado] or Emporia [Kansas] insist on prayer time in the work place, this is a form of Islamic supremacism. So are foot baths in public places like airports or universities, or Muslim-only prayer rooms in universities. They are special rights for special classes. So are special prayer rights for a special class, in this case Muslims in public schools, that is, giving Muslims special prayer times or closing schools on Muslim holidays. Some places like Seattle, Washington have also introduced special swim time for Muslims in public pools, often paid by taxpayers’ public, government funds.

In and of itself, it seems innocent. So, the boy needs to pray. It’s no big deal. Give him a special place and time for prayer. But this is what Muslims do. It is part of the [Islamization] movement. This needs to be seen in the context of an overall assault on a society. Muslims who have left their countries to escape this oppression should be speaking out the loudest but they are not.

AAL: Aren’t there are some ex-Muslims and a handful of Muslims speaking out about the assault on Western Democratic values?

Atlas: Wafa Sultan is the only American in decades whom threats have forced to live in hiding. She should be hidden in White House. The media’s lack of coverage of her case is criminal. Hers should be a cause célèbre. Her situation is among the most damaging to freedom of speech.

AAL: What’s the prognosis for positive change?

Atlas: If the hate crime laws pass under a very Islamic-sympathizing president, then voices and websites like mine will be shut down. It will be over. The line in the sand rests on freedom of speech. That is the basis of this country.

Even ugly speech. We see and saw this in “death to the Jews” rallies. We saw it the last generation, in 1970s Nazis rallies Skokie, Illinois. That is freedom of speech. The media demonizes the Tea Parties [protesting Obama’s profligate spending.] This is not an Islamic issue. But it is part of the leftist Islamic issue. You see the demonizing of free speech. This is the most dangerous development. The demonization of Geert Wilders is very dangerous….

There is much, much more. Read it all.
