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

Tunisian Islamic supremacists screaming “Allahu akbar” rally against secular constitution: “Establishing Islam is obligatory”

Jan 25, 2014 11:39 am By Robert Spencer

These Islamic supremacists seem to have gotten the crazy idea that Islam is incompatible with secular government. Have they been listening to greasy Islamophobes?

“Hundreds of Islamists rally against new Tunisia charter,” from AFP, January 24:

Hundreds of Islamists with the radical Tunisian group Hizb ut-Tahrir, which advocates establishing an Islamic “caliphate”, gathered in Tunis Friday to protest against the “secular” new constitution.

The protesters waved the black and white Islamist flag, and shouted slogans, including “Down with the secular constitution!” and “Establishing Islam is obligatory, sovereignty is for the Koran and sharia (Islamic law).”

“We are announcing our rejection of this constitution which serves foreign intelligence services… We have one master, our Prophet Mohammed,” one of the speakers shouted to the crowd, to the cries of “Allahu akbar! (God is greatest)”.

Lawmakers on Thursday completed their line-by-line scrutiny of the text late on Thursday, after three weeks of heated debate and disagreement on a range of subjects, including the role of Islam and a ban of accusations of apostasy.

The national assembly is due to vote on adopting the long-delayed new constitution on Saturday, which would be a major step towards ending months of political crisis and would pave the way for fresh elections.

The charter needs the approval of two-thirds of the 217 assembly members to be adopted, failing which it must be put to a referendum.

The Tunisian branch of Hizb ut-Tahrir was created in the 1980s but only legalised in 2012, the year after the ouster of Zine El Abidine Ben Ali in a popular uprising that also opened to the door to hardline Islamist movements repressed under the secular dictator.

It calls for the sovereignty of the Ummah, or Muslim community, and legislation based on sharia law.

    It’s almost like muslims don’t have the ability to see just how shitty life is under Islamic law. It’s like they can’t seem to draw the same comparisons that SANE people do , that EVERYWHERE that Islam is the law of the land or the guiding influence , there is MISERY AND STRIFE.

    When in fact Islam is the most FAILED political ideology that has ever existed in regards to quality of life , humanity, and peace and joy.
    Their intellectual output to the world is practically nil, and they require most of the worlds aid and charity at this time, although to be fair they have been VERY successful though, at VIOLENCE, MAYHEM AND MURDER.

    IF Islam is so wonderful , as we are told it truly is, then it should not be considered a legitimate claim to immigrate to the west from a Muslim country,
    because they already have everything they need and have the TRUTH and LOVE of Islam, SO why WOULD WE CONSIDER THEM REFUGEES OR LEGITIMATE IMMIGRANTS, when our corrupt societies have nothing to offer them?

    Looking at the current state of affairs in the western world & the stance our politicians have taken the day is not far when this will be in our doorsteps.
    We should not hope much action to stop this nonsense from our politicians on their own. They’ve been brainwashed by islamists and are power hungry, they believe moslems. through ill-conceived immigration policies, hold the votes in western countries, we need to make then aware that the rest of the population also counts and we are not going to take this BS anymore. If moslems want to stay in any western country better adapt to and respect the host culture & values or get out back to your shithole.
    However, I guess that would be impossible for a moslem because islam being an epitome of savagery & barbarianism is not compatible with any civilization and culture so better for these moslem NOT to enter any country outside their shitholes or I could suggest a BETTER solution for every mo, renounce islam (the root cause of evil on earth) and embrace some other religion (like Christianity or Buddhism) and save your souls.

    When a majority of Americans understands what 75% of French and Germans understand…that Islam is incompatible with democracy…we will be ready to declare Islam a threat to women, modernity, progress, human rights and the security of the person.

    Can someone explain why Muslims worship Mohammed; I thought they believe he is their prophet and was just an illiterate man. From his writings and history, he does not seem to be a Godly, loving or forgiving person and many of his writings are pornographic and arousing. Since human sexuality appears to be a taboo subject for many Muslims, why is there so much written about sex in Islamic books? Why can’t Muslims drink wine on earth, but they can drink all the wine they want in their Paradise? Why are virgins so important to Muslim men? Why do they believe that so few women enter their Paradise? So many Muslims can’t answer these questions when I ask.
    Life in a Sharia ruled country must be very depressing for those who don’t have the money to pretend to follow Sharia, like those who visit strip clubs in Monte Carlo.

      ………………………………..

      Elise, Muslims do not technically “worship” Muhammed, but the distinction can be a pretty fine one. Certainly, Muslims focus a lot more on the “Prophet” than they do on the distant, unknowable Allah.

      The biggest problem is that Muslims consider Muhammed the “perfect man”, and so his actions—including mass-murder, conquest. caravan raiding, slaving, assassination, and pedophilia—remain ideals for all time.

      More:

      From his writings and history, he does not seem to be a Godly, loving or forgiving person and many of his writings are pornographic and arousing.
      ………………………………..

      You are looking at this as a civilized person, Elise—not as a devout Muslim. It is better to think of Islam as primarily appealing to violent thugs—Muhammed is essentially a warlord or gang leader. If a person is interested in violence and exploitation, then the appalling “Prophet” *is* an ideal model.

      More:

      Since human sexuality appears to be a taboo subject for many Muslims, why is there so much written about sex in Islamic books?
      ………………………………..

      It is a mistake to believe that Islam is simply a prudish creed. Basically, exploitative sexuality is perfectly fine in Islam—polygamy, rape, sexual slavery—but consensual affection and love is taboo, as is an *inferior* figure such as a woman determining her own sexuality.

      More:

      Why can’t Muslims drink wine on earth, but they can drink all the wine they want in their Paradise?
      ………………………………..

      This is a spur for Jihad—the only way to be sure to reach paradise in Islam is to wage violent Jihad—thus, “Mujahideen” have additional reasons to die—so that they can indulge in things forbidden on earth. This is also a way for lower-status males who cannot afford multiple wives or sex slaves—in Muslim paradise, they get unlimited sex, both heterosexual and homosexual (those “pearly boys”), as well as unlimited wine.

      More:

      Why are virgins so important to Muslim men?
      ………………………………..

      This is not like the traditional Christian focus on chastity. It is because Muslim males are so concerned with ownership and control. A virgin by definition has never “belonged” to another man. I believe this is why Aisha is so important—a pre-pubescent girl would have had no real libido, and hence it was clear that she ’belonged’ to Muhammed when he deflowered her when she was just nine.

      More:

      Why do they believe that so few women enter their Paradise?
      ………………………………..

      Islam is a male-focused creed (I won’t say “masculine”). The focus is on conquest, physical intimidation, murder, and control. So women as despised as weak. In fact, Islam despises *any* it deems weak—women, children, the disabled, and minorities.

      More:

      So many Muslims can’t answer these questions when I ask.
      ………………………………..

      Some can’t answer them—and some just can’t think of a way to whitewash the savagery of Islam.

      Of course, when Muslims reach sufficient numbers, they no longer try to hide the naked aggression of their appalling faith.

      More:

      Life in a Sharia ruled country must be very depressing for those who don’t have the money to pretend to follow Sharia, like those who visit strip clubs in Monte Carlo.
      ………………………………..

      Yes and no—it depends on the Muslim. Many of them, as you note, are hypocrites who do visit places like Monte Carlo.

      But many pious Muslims get their “enjoyment” out of oppressing and threatening women, children, Infidels, and minority-sect Muslims.

      And in a Caliphate, Muslims could also “enjoy” slavery and sex-slavery.

      You can’t apply civilized standards to understanding Islam—there is a reason why Islam spreads so easily in a thuggish prison population.

    Jihad (Arabic for “struggle”)

    It is such a struggle to pretend the bad joke of Islam is a religion.
    Each Islamic lie attempts to defend yet another.
    Whenever Islam is examined it is such a laughable farce that it all falls apart.
    Therefore Islamists refuse to allow an honest critique of Muhammad the sneak.
    If Islam were a great religion there would be not need to threaten apostates.

    It is such a struggle to pretend the bad joke of Islam is a religion.

    “Allahu Akbar” is, of course, to be taken as a threat. Do our bidding or face Jihad terror.
