Muslims scream “Allahu akbar” from mosques as Islamic State blows up church

Nov 26, 2014 11:02 am By Robert Spencer

IslamicStateblowsupShiamosqueBut…but…surely the peaceful, tolerant moderates — vetted or no — remonstrated with those who were screaming “Allahu akbar” and reminded them that the Qur’an teaches peace and respect for the People of the Book, didn’t they? Didn’t they?

Anyway, Bishop Kevin would say something about this, but the “Muslim-Christian dialogue” meeting is tonight, and Imam Muhammad is such a nice guy — did you hear the one he tells about the priest, the rabbi and the imam who walk into a bar? — and the hummus is so good over at Masjid Tarek Ibn Zayed…And anyway, Imam Muhammad has assured the bishop that he condemns the persecution of Christians. What’s that? Did Bishop Kevin ask him what programs Masjid Tarek Ibn Zayed had to teach Muslims to reject the understanding of Islam that led to the persecution? Oh, come now. You wouldn’t have expected him to be rude when everyone was being so nice, now, would you? That could harm the “dialogue”! And an ambitious man doesn’t get to be a Cardinal by asking that kind of question. And that hummus — it’s out of this world!

“ISIS blows up ancient church in Mosul, RUDAW, November 24, 2014 (thanks to The Religion of Peace):

ERBIL, Kurdistan Region – The Islamic State (IS) militants blew up the St. George’s Church and a nunnery in the city of Mosul on Monday, local sources aid.

A resident of Mosul told Rudaw that cries of Allahu Akbar ‘God is Great’ rose from many mosques in the city as Islamist militants blew up the church located in one of Mosul’s Arab neighborhoods.

Since its takeover of Mosul in June, the ISIS has blown up a number of churches, Shiite mosques and other ancient sites, including the shrine of Prophet Jonah.

Saad Mamuzin, head of the Kurdistan Democratic Party’s (KDP) 14th branch in Mosul believes that the latest bombings are the group’s revenge for their defeat on the battleground.

“The organization (ISIS) has once again turned to bombing churches and mosques after it lost popularity and many of its members to the airstrikes that have targeted strongholds in different areas of the city.”

The extremist group has also blown up Yezidi and Kakei shrines outside the city as thousands of Yezidi and Christians have fled their homes to the Kurdistan Region.

    There are some People who say that both Christians and Muslims worship and believe in the same God.If this claim is true and the God of the Bible is the also the same God as the god of Islam then it’s all very strange behavior that so many Muslims destroy church’s along with many Bible’s. Furthermore, it stands to reason that this claim is a lie not only because of the destructive actions of Muslims against Christian’s Church’s and Bible’s but also the very Nature of the Christian God of the Bible is in strong contrast to the nature of the Islamic god, the god of the Koran. For example the God of Christian being the God of the Bible that God is in essence by Nature a the only and One Triune God He is Lives as a Trinity, Matthew 3:13-17. 28:19. Second Corinthians 13:14. To be a bit more clear, by the Trinity it means that within the essence of the One True there are Three Persons. Who are God the Father., God the Son and God the Holy Spirit. In other words, the Tri-Personal Nature of God. That is Three Distinct Persons in One God. Not three gods in one which is a straw man argument used by some people against the Bible doctrine of the Trinity. In great contrast the god if Islam is a single being. in short the God of the Bible is not the god of Islam and many Muslim know it , this they prove by the action as in the above article.

    Myth No. 2: It’s all about Islam

    A disproportionate share of anti-Christian persecution is, indeed, fueled by radical Islam. Open Doors, an Evangelical group, put nine Muslim states on its “Top 10” list for 2011 of the most dangerous places for Christians, including Afghanistan, Saudi Arabia, Somalia and Iran.

    Yet simply identifying anti-Christian persecution with Islam is misleading. There are compelling examples of collaboration between Christians and Muslims in many parts of the world, which is the basis for Pope Benedict XVI’s vision of an “Alliance of Civilizations.” (One of the major political parties in the Philippines, for instance, is the “Christian Muslim Democrats.”) It also should not be forgotten that the most numerous victims of Muslim extremism are, in fact, other Muslims.

    Moreover, radical Islam is hardly the only source of anti-Christian animus. Christians suffer from a slew of other forces, including:

    •Ultra-nationalism (as in Turkey, where extreme nationalists tend to be a greater threat than Islamists)

    •Totalitarian states, especially of the Communist variety (China, North Korea)

    •Hindu radicalism (Anti-Christian aggression has become routine in some regions of India. This week, Hindu radicals armed with sticks and iron bars attacked 20 Pentecostal Christians in a private home near Bangalore, an assault that left the pastor missing a finger on his left hand. When Christians reported similar assaults two weeks ago, a member of the state’s official Commission for Minorities, which is under the control of a nationalist Hindu party, shrugged it off: “If you really knew the teachings of Jesus, Christians should not be complaining,” he reportedly said.)

    •Buddhist radicalism (as in Sri Lanka, where, contrary to stereotypes of Buddhist tolerance, mobs led by Buddhist monks attacked Christian churches and other targets across the country in 2009)

    •Corporate interests (as in Brazil’s Amazon region, where Christian activists have been killed for protesting injustices by agri-business conglomerates)

    •Organized crime, narco-traffickers, and petty thugs (For instance, the 1993 murder of Mexican Cardinal Juan Jesús Posadas Ocampo, shot 14 times at the Guadalajara airport by gunmen linked to a drug cartel, or the assassination in the same year of Italian Fr. Giuseppe Puglisi, a bitter critic of the Sicilian mafia.)

    •State-imposed security policies (as in Israel, where checkpoints, visa requirements and other restrictions divide Christian families between East Jerusalem and the West Bank and make it virtually impossible for Christians in one location to worship in the other)

    •Even, believe it or not, Christian radicalism

    If that last entry seems counter-intuitive, consider what happened in the village of San Rafael Tlanalapan, in the Mexican state of Puebla, this past September. Seventy local Protestants were forced to flee after a band of traditionalist Catholics issued a chilling ultimatum: Leave immediately or be “crucified or lynched.”

    The point is that extremism and intolerance of whatever stripe, not Islam, is the threat.

      “Myth No. 2: It’s all about Islam”

      No, it’s not. It’s all about Satan. Islam is only one of Satan’s tools, and it must be destroyed.

        Salah, you are so right. It’s all about Satan’s war against Jesus Christ and anyone who is a follower of the one and only Messiah.

      Christy, You curse Jews and Christians 17 times a day and hate them ‘for the sake of Allah’. You can’t fool people here, Christy. We read your books. Islam is extremely intolerant. Here are only two examples…I could provide hundreds.

      Until Muslims stop saying supremacist prayers, they will continue to be supremacist and intolerant.

      How about the following intolerant, ‘cursing’ prayer?

      “O Allah, make the apostates to be against each other and the polytheists against their likes and bring out the Unitarians from them safely, with their spoils, O Lord of Worlds, O Allah. May their women be widowed, may their children be orphaned, may their blood freeze in their veins, may their food be stuck in their inner testines. O Allah, destroy them make their miseries strong among them, O Allah, grant us victory over them, O Allah, send your punishment on them, bring division in the midst of their union, scattering them, disseminating their numbers. O Allah, grant us victory over them. O Allah, may their snares be slaughtered and be scuttled within themselves. O Allah, show us your power. O Mighty One and the Vanquisher, O Allah, show us in them a dark day as in the day of A’ad and Thamud. O Allah, quake the earth under their feet, O Allah, empower venomous creatures over them and send hail storms over them as you did over A’ad and Thamud and deliver them as captives in the hands of your believing slaves and humiliate the polytheists and, O Allah, lift up the banner of Islam…”

      How about the following intolerant, ‘cursing’ sermon?

      “Killing a Kafir who is fighting you is OK. Killing a Kafir for any reason, you can say, it is OK – even if there is no reason for it. You can poison, ambush and kill non-believers. You must have a stand with your heart, with your tongue, with your money, with your hand, with your sword, with your Kalashnikov. Don’t ask shall I do this, just do it.” – Abu Hamza al-Masri (Egyptian born British Cleric)

      Islam is very intolerant, isn’t it? It’s not an isolated thing, is it? Christy, you are fooling yourself.

    And meanwhile, in Australia, Muslims and naive Islamophiles are trying to make out that Muslims are being horribly, terribly persecuted, because a mosque here and there has copped a bit of graffiti (this in the wake of the exposure of plots by jihadis to murder Australians, and the steady stream of Aussie-passport-carrying Muslims going off to Syria to behead people or else to blow themselves up in the process of blowing others up, and the news reports – however watered-down – concerning Islamic State and Boko Haram and Al Shabab atrocities which Blind Freddie can see *are* connected with Islam) or in one case the deposition of some pig parts outside. (Although I personally am not necessarily convinced that non-Muslims are doing even *this* stuff, being all too familiar with the Muslim maxim that “war is deceit” and the Muslim propensity for falsifying “hate crimes” so as to be able to *pose* as victims when in fact they are *not*).

    http://www.abc.net.au/news/2014-11-24/pigs-head-dumped-at-southern-river-mosque/5913760

    And when the graffiti occurred an “anti-bigotry response team” was got up:

    http://www.abc.net.au/news/2014-11-23/anti-bigotry-group-established-to-help-minorities/5912260

    (I don’t see any Muslims in Mosul rushing to create an “anti-bigotry response group” to help defend the Christians of Iraq and rebuild their blown-up church.)

    Personally, I think that merely writing crude graffiti on a mosque – or on a Sikh temple that was mistaken for a mosque – or dumping pig parts outside, IF Aussie infidels have in fact done it, and not Muslims engaging in a ‘false flag’ attack (and that goes just as much for the alleged mistaking of a Sikh temple for a mosque as for graffiti’ing an actual mosque) is – within any Western country – counterproductive. One would do better to string up a banner opposite with a few Quran verses or citations from Sira or Hadith, so as to make uninformed non-Muslims *curious*: e.g “Islamic State beheads people; see Quran 47.4, ‘Strike at the necks'”.

    But here’s the point.

    Elsewhere in the world Muslims shriek with glee and howl allahu akbar when Islamic State blows up a nunnery and a church in Mesopotamia. Muslims hand out candy and dance in the streets when Muslims with guns and axes murder four rabbis and a Druze policeman in Israel. A huge Muslim mob beats two defenceless Christians to death – or to near-death – and then throws them (whether dead or still living) into a brick kiln to be burnt to ashes. Muslims hold up a bus in Kenya, let the Muslim passengers go, murder the non-Muslims. Muslims – lots of Muslims – attack and *destroy* the persons and property of non-Muslims, qua non-Muslims; and lots of other Muslims loudly approve of and praise these evil actions.

    Meanwhile, in Australia, Muslims wail that they are being persecuted!…and why, forsooth? – because someone has painted a bit of Islamocritical graffiti on the outside of a mosque. And everybody in sight rushes to sympathise with them and pat them on the back and wash off the graffiti and condemn that supposed attack…which may, of course, quite probably, have been fabricated by Muslims in the first place…

    Let me tell you how we learn what Islam means:
    When we hear bombs, we hear Islam.
    When we see women dressed in black sacks, we see Islam.
    When we learn of amputations and stonings, we learn about Islam.
    When we read about sexism and homophobia, we read about Islam.
    When we face animality, anger and greed for power, we face Islam.
    When we smell death, we smell Islam.
    When the blood flows, it’s the color of Islam.
    When we hear Muslims say peace, we know they mean war.
    Islam is just one big F-ALLAH-CY!
