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

Egyptian Muslim group: Democracy “theorizes the equality of Jews, Copts and Muslims and must therefore be condemned”

May 9, 2014 11:51 pm By Robert Spencer

Ansar Bayt al-MaqdisAnsar Beit al-Maqdis (not “Magdis,” as in this article) means “Supporters of the Holy House,” which refers to the al-Aqsa Mosque in Jerusalem and the surrounding area. Anyway, in the U.S. we are constantly told that only greasy Islamophobes think that Islam and democracy are incompatible, despite the fact that there has not been a single Islamic democracy (Turkey is, or was, a secular democracy, not an Islamic one) throughout the history of Islam. So how did Ansar Beit al-Maqdis get the Islamphobic idea that democracy and Islam are incompatible, and that Islam doesn’t allow for Jews, Christians and Muslims to be equal? Have they been reading books by that horrible Spencer?

“Egypt: Ansar Beit al Magdis will fight ‘crusaders, Zionists,'” ANSAmed, May 9, 2014 (thanks to Blazing Cat Fur):

(ANSAmed) – CAIRO, MAY 9 – Al-Qaeda-inspired militant group in the Sinai, Ansar Beit al Magdis, has posted an audio message on Islamic websites saying that ”democracy equals apostasy” and that it will fight ”crusaders and Zionists”. The jihadist group, which has carried out a number of attacks against Egyptian security forces, explained its doctrine in the statement, saying that ”democracy leads Muslims to follow a world order dominated by Zionists and crusaders that promote their perception of the world, where only their blood is valued and not that of Muslims”.

”The fortunes and resources of Muslims are in the hands of apostate rulers due to this democracy soiled by Muslim blood which prevents the prophet’s principles from being carried out”, the statement also said.

The movement concluded stressing that democracy must be eliminated because ”it does not allow to save Muslims and theorizes the equality of Jews, Copts and Muslims and must therefore be condemned”. (ANSAmed)

    If only all the Jews and Christians and other non-Muslims would perish than Islam really would be a religion and Muhammad really would be a prophet and Muslims would live in perfect peace.
    WAKE UP MUSLIM WORLD

      the truth is that the HOUSE OF ISLAM will never be at peace with itself because it is a |”house divided,|” and as such is doomed to fall.
      Islam is EVIL, incarnated by that false prophet and demon possessed mass murderer, thief, liar and pedophile Muhammed.

          just look at lands conquered by muslims, they are the LEAST PEACEFUL places on earth becasue the various factions (sunni vs shia) which each consider themselves “true muslims” try to kill the others off because they are apostates to the others vision of true islam!

          And Satan /Allah the author of islam is esctatic with glee when he sees people killing each other over his evil religion

          There is no ‘dialogue’ with totalitarians. They instruct us. They lecture us. It’s one-way. Islam is allegedly ‘divine’ so they have nothing to learn from anyone except how to make bombs.

          Islam is eroded where there is free speech.

          =======

          This whole dress up like a Muslim routine is not to ‘honor’ Allah
          It is merely to show that Muslims are ‘entitled’ to impose on their host societies.
          So what that they pray five times a day, does that mean they must flaunt it?
          Why yes, in fact it does. Muslim claims that it is all for the sake of Allah are unscrupulous LIARS who have no other choice but to flaunt their display because Allah is nothing but a perverted fetish built around a cheap stage prop idea conjured by Muhammad.
          OH the sacrifices Muslims must make to be a good Muslim.
          Doesn’t it then follow that a Muslim is entitled to behead non-Muslims
          in yet another fit of orgasmic self-righteous rage.
          They don’t belong in a mosque; they belong in a cage.

    Ansar Beit al-Maqdis? Ha!
    Another offshoot of the Muslim Brotherhood thugs!
    They are raging like rabid dogs. They know the game is over.
    In less than a month, Egypt will have a new president, most probably al-Sisi. Muslims, Christians and Jews (at least what’s left of them) will be equal before the law. That’s the country the New Egypt will become: A Democratic country.
    Of course we need to understand that it will take a few decades before a complete change in the people’s mentality, but Egypt is surely on the right path.
    That’s why the Muslim Brotherhood rabid dogs are raging.

      Democracy will allow free(r) speech in Egypt. Freer speech will bring secular ideas that contradict traditional Sharia. When Sharia is contradicted and nothing bad happens, people will see it is an empty superstition. People will enjoy freedom to think independently. When they think independently, they will discover the falsity of Islam, its lies, its lack of a basis in historical fact. When people discover Islam is false, they will cease obeying the mullahs and one million mullahs will lose their jobs. There will then be no way to enforce conformity. All the jihadists will be arrested and jailed for life. There will be peace, prosperity, stability and progress. How un-Islamic.

  4. Saleem Smith says

    May 10, 2014 at 1:02 am

    This Egyptian Muslim group opposed to democracy believes that the only legitimate governments on earth are those ruled by Islamic law. And there are hundreds if not thousands of these types of Muslim groups and they all want the same thing – to plunder the booty of the non-Muslims and implement Shariah law.

    We ex-Muslims know that Mohammedanism is a steaming pile of lies.

    Shariah law is essentially Islam applied. Or applied Islam.

    Islamic Law, The Shariah:

    Islamic Laws are made up of Sharia and Islamic jurisprudence (fiqh). Shariah is seen as sacred and constitutes the Qur’an and Muhammad’s Sunnah (way), which is found in the Hadith and Sira. Islamic jurisprudence is a complimentary expansion of the former by Islamic jurists.

    Shariah not only governs public life, but also many facets of ones personal life. It has laws covering Muslim interactions with non-Muslims, sexuality, food, rituals, leisure activities, dress, hygiene etc. This is due to Muhammad’s pivotal role in both the practice of Islam and the formation of Islamic law. He is considered by all Muslims, in Islamic theology, as the uswa hasana (perfect example). As both are based on the same source, they are inseparable from one another.

    Separation of ‘Church’ and State:

    It is a generally accepted fact among Muslims, that there is no concept of “separation of ‘Church’ and State” in the Islam faith. We have already touched upon why Shariah is inseparable from the public and the personal aspects of practising Islam, so once again, we need to look to the example set forth by Muhammad. Islam, unlike many other faiths, was a theocracy from its very beginning. As the founder and Head of the first Islamic state, Muhammad most certainly did not believe in the concept of rendering unto Caesar what is Caesar’s, and this is reflected in Muslim thought. The results of a survey released in November of 2009 found a massive 67 percent of Turks said ‘they would continue acting in accordance with their religious beliefs if the Parliament passed a law that contradicted religious laws.’ and only ‘Twenty-six percent said they would obey the country’s law in this case’. As is evident; even in ‘moderate’ ‘secular’ nations like Turkey, we find that the majority of its population (in accordance with Sahih Bukhari 9:89:258) refuse to accept the authority of its government when they deem its man-made laws contrary to that which is prescribed in the Shari’ah.

    Sahih Bukhari, Vol.9, Bk.89, No.258:

    Narrated ‘Abdullah:
    The Prophet said, “A Muslim has to listen to and obey (the order of his ruler) whether he likes it or not, as long as his orders involve not one in disobedience (to Allah), but if an act of disobedience (to Allah) is imposed one should not listen to it or obey it.

    Islamic Laws: Criminalized Personal Matters:

    1 Adultery
    2 Intoxicants and Recreational Games
    3 Apostasy (rejection of Islam)
    4 Free Speech/Blasphemy
    5 Fornication between two consenting adults
    6 Homosexuality
    7 Lack of hijab/un-Islamic dress
    8 Mingling of un-related men and women
    9 Pornography and Prostitution
    10 Music and Art

    Islamic Laws: Legalized Crimes:

    1 Domestic violence against women
    2 Gender disparity
    3 Lying
    4 Polygamy
    5 Pedophilia
    6 Rape
    7 Religious discrimination
    8 Slavery
    9 Terrorism
    10 Assassination and Murder

    Muslims are drinking the blood of allah this day as they wage jihad across the globe. Muslims are eating the vomit of mohammeds evil soul while devouring the hadith and sira. Hundreds more will die tonight and tomorrow because of what is written in the koran. But don’t talk about it or you are a bigot and might get thrown in jail for being an “islamophobe” .

      Muslims are offering the blood of those they hate ‘for the sake of Allah’. Allah is thirsty for their blood. Allah especially craves the blood of jihadists and pays for it exorbitantly with heavenly prostitutes, rivers of wine and numberless slaves in paradise. The goal of Islam is to drink and own sex slaves.

    Quite by accident I came across this website, http://www.myislamicdream.com

    It was quite enlightening as to the Muslim mindset. Enter a term for what your dream was about and you will get an interpretation. Seeing a Jew is your dream evidently can be quite distressing. This is one interpretation among others:

    “Dealing, befriending or accompanying a Jew means the dreamer will meet someone who denies what is right, procrastinates, and is niggardly in showing or coming out with what he has or knows, a sorcerer, a treacherous person, someone who makes you spend your money forcibly and who does not pay back what he owes without dodging and prevaricating, or an astrologer, a diviner, or a cheat. ”

    Seeing a Christian in your dream is apparently not quite not as bad (can even be good) but not necessarily,

    “Being or becoming a Christian: (1) For a pious person: Will inherit one’s uncle or aunt (the mother’s brother or sister). (2) For a debauchee: Dissatisfaction with God’s bounty and sacrilege by insulting or speaking ill of God. (3) In case the dreamer refuses to eat from the food presented to him: He is dissatisfied with his lot and has committed many sins. ”

    Seeing a church can be positively thrilling. In one instance:

    “Seeing a church being destroyed, burning, or undergoing some other calamity: Stronger religious faith (for the Muslims) and defeat for the polytheists and the hypocrites. ”

    It’s sometimes amazing to me that all this damning evidence of hatred is out there on the web for anyone to see and still people who point it out are called “Islamophobes.”

    Check out the website and show others!

    There is democracy in theory, but not in practice. There is always an overseer to make sure democracy does not get too democratic.
    Usually this is a government. Governments really don’t do well in a democracy which is why none of them allow it. Islam is just one big government, looking to buy a headquarters somewhere, and appoint someone to be the chief…Or Caliph. The whole idea that Allah would permit the membership to run the cult, and change his laws as they see fit is unthinkable for the pious. That would destroy Islam…Which is not a bad idea, but is unlikely to happen any time soon…

      May 10, 2014 at 9:24 am

      Many of them want to ‘update’ Allah’s laws. They start by questioning the hadiths. It’s like pulling the loose threads on a sweater. The whole thing will unravel a bit at a time and putting it back will be almost impossible. Freedom is addictive.

    ” … and theorizes the equality of Jews, Copts and Muslims and must therefore be condemned….”

    equality is a threat, particularly when the Allah god of Islam (unknowable; the best of all deceivers) has declared that Muslims are the best of peoples, evolved for mankind (3:110)

    the adherents to the SHARIA must control, must rule, or they would otherwise not be supreme; they must subjugate all. They won’t tolerate a majority vote if it’s not in their favor and will subvert any vote not deemed in their favor

  11. eib says

    May 10, 2014 at 12:16 pm

    Democracy doesn’t theorize the equality of all people.
    It demands it.
    In practice.
    It means that if a person insults you, your prophet, or your god, you suck it up and be civilized for a change.

    Egyptian Muslim group: Democracy “theorizes the equality of Jews, Copts and Muslims and must therefore be condemned”
    …

    ”democracy leads Muslims to follow a world order dominated by Zionists and crusaders that promote their perception of the world, where only their blood is valued and not that of Muslims”.
    …………………………………

    Follow this “logic”: considering Jews and Copts to be the *equal* of Muslims—somehow—means that only Infidels’ blood is valued, and not that of Muslims.

    This sounds contradictory, but as supremacist Muslims would have it, they are only getting their due if their blood is valued, and that of the Kuffar is cheap.

    Notice, too, the reference to blood—pious Muslims conceive of *everything* in terms of murder and bloodshed—and Muslims are “oppressed” if they cannot freely murder Infidels.

    This is why Muslims complain that they cannot fully practice Islam in Dar-al-Harb, even in a place like the United States that guarantees freedom of religion—because for them to be able to *really* practice Islam, they have to be allowed to oppress, threaten, and slay those of other faiths.

    And this is why you will *never* find true democracy in Dar-al-Islam.

    • Know Thy Enemy says

      May 10, 2014 at 4:22 pm

      “And this is why you will *never* find true democracy in Dar-al-Islam.”

      I hope we don’t keep looking for “true democracy” as Muslims continue to seek a govt backed by ‘true Islam’. Neither reach the ‘true’ stage in practice!

      Yes, this includes democracy! There is always a significant enough portion of population that is apathetic to the democratic process, or they are too dumb to know who to vote for.

      It appears to me that the Left figured this out a long time ago, and this is the reason why they have worked hard to gain power/influence through alternative means, with great success.

      • gravenimage says

        May 10, 2014 at 11:02 pm

        Yes, the practice of democracy is imperfect in the West, no doubt.

        But to then pretend that there is ipso facto no difference between the civilized West and the chaotic, oppressive, sanguinary horror of Dar-al-Islam is, I’m afraid, just witless.

        • Know Thy Enemy says

          May 11, 2014 at 2:44 am

          Dar-al-Islam is in that state because of Islam. The reason why I am concerned about the imperfect democracy of non-Muslim countries is because it is like a weak automotive engine. Islam and the Left can easily put enough stress on it to break it.

          I do not know yet what a feasible solution is to save our democracy from them. All I know for now is that democracy is weak and the Left is strong (stupid and suicidal, but strong)!
