“The spiritualism falls apart in the face of the jihad, okay, which is a perversion of Islam, we all know that.”
Do we, now?
Leave aside the fact that jihad is a central tenet of Islam for all Muslims, although all don’t endorse the terrorist form of it. Obviously O’Reilly is referring to jihad terrorism, which we are constantly told that the overwhelming majority of Muslims reject.
Sio is jihad terrorism a perversion of Islam? Most politicians and pundits in the West take for granted that it is. But there is, unfortunately, evidence to the contrary. Certainly Islamic terrorists believe that what they are doing is jihad, and that it is justified by the Qur’an and Sunnah:
“Jihad was a way of life for the Pious Predecessors (Salaf-us-Salih), and the Prophet (SAWS) was a master of the Mujahideen and a model for fortunate inexperienced people. The total number of military excursions which he (SAWS) accompanied was 27. He himself fought in nine of these; namely Badr; Uhud, Al-Muraysi, The Trench, Qurayzah, Khaybar, The Conquest of Makkah, Hunayn and Taif . . . This means that the Messenger of Allah (SAWS) used to go out on military expeditions or send out an army at least every two months.” — Abdullah Azzam, co-founder of al-Qaeda, Join the Caravan, p. 30
“If we follow the rules of interpretation developed from the classical science of Koranic interpretation, it is not possible to condemn terrorism in religious terms. It remains completely true to the classical rules in its evolution of sanctity for its own justification. This is where the secret of its theological strength lies.” — Egyptian scholar Nasr Hamid Abu Zayd
“Many thanks to God, for his kind gesture, and choosing us to perform the act of Jihad for his cause and to defend Islam and Muslims. Therefore, killing you and fighting you, destroying you and terrorizing you, responding back to your attacks, are all considered to be great legitimate duty in our religion.” — Khalid Sheikh Mohammed and his fellow 9/11 defendants
“Allah on 480 occasions in the Holy Koran extols Muslims to wage jihad. We only fulfil God’s orders. Only jihad can bring peace to the world.” — Taliban terrorist Baitullah Mehsud
“Jihad, holy fighting in Allah’s course, with full force of numbers and weaponry, is given the utmost importance in Islam….By jihad, Islam is established….By abandoning jihad, may Allah protect us from that, Islam is destroyed, and Muslims go into inferior position, their honor is lost, their lands are stolen, their rule and authority vanish. Jihad is an obligation and duty in Islam on every Muslim.” — Times Square car bomb terrorist Faisal Shahzad
“So step by step I became a religiously devout Muslim, Mujahid — meaning one who participates in jihad.” — Little Rock, Arkansas terrorist murderer Abdulhakim Mujahid Muhammad
“And now, after mastering the English language, learning how to build explosives, and continuous planning to target the infidel Americans, it is time for Jihad.” — Texas terrorist bomber Khalid Aldawsari
All of these, of course, may be dismissed as “extremists,” although they were also all devout Muslims who were determined to follow their religion properly. One finds the same thing, however, when one turns to the authoritative sources in Sunni Islam, the schools of Sunni jurisprudence (madhahib). Compare the “extremist” statements with these:
Shafi’i school: A Shafi’i manual of Islamic law that was certified in 1991 by the clerics at Al-Azhar University, one of the leading authorities in the Islamic world, as a reliable guide to Sunni orthodoxy, stipulates about jihad that “the caliph makes war upon Jews, Christians, and Zoroastrians…until they become Muslim or pay the non-Muslim poll tax.” It adds a comment by Sheikh Nuh Ali Salman, a Jordanian expert on Islamic jurisprudence: the caliph wages this war only “provided that he has first invited [Jews, Christians, and Zoroastrians] to enter Islam in faith and practice, and if they will not, then invited them to enter the social order of Islam by paying the non-Muslim poll tax (jizya)…while remaining in their ancestral religions.” (‘Umdat al-Salik, o9.8).
Hanafi school: A Hanafi manual of Islamic law repeats the same injunctions. It insists that people must be called to embrace Islam before being fought, “because the Prophet so instructed his commanders, directing them to call the infidels to the faith.” It emphasizes that jihad must not be waged for economic gain, but solely for religious reasons: from the call to Islam “the people will hence perceive that they are attacked for the sake of religion, and not for the sake of taking their property, or making slaves of their children, and on this consideration it is possible that they may be induced to agree to the call, in order to save themselves from the troubles of war.”
However, “if the infidels, upon receiving the call, neither consent to it nor agree to pay capitation tax [jizya], it is then incumbent on the Muslims to call upon God for assistance, and to make war upon them, because God is the assistant of those who serve Him, and the destroyer of His enemies, the infidels, and it is necessary to implore His aid upon every occasion; the Prophet, moreover, commands us so to do.” (Al-Hidayah, II.140)
Maliki school: Ibn Khaldun (1332-1406), a pioneering historian and philosopher, was also a Maliki legal theorist. In his renowned Muqaddimah, the first work of historical theory, he notes that “in the Muslim community, the holy war is a religious duty, because of the universalism of the Muslim mission and (the obligation to) convert everybody to Islam either by persuasion or by force.” In Islam, the person in charge of religious affairs is concerned with “power politics,” because Islam is “under obligation to gain power over other nations.”
Hanbali school: The great medieval theorist of what is commonly known today as radical or fundamentalist Islam, Ibn Taymiyya (Taqi al-Din Ahmad Ibn Taymiyya, 1263-1328), was a Hanbali jurist. He directed that “since lawful warfare is essentially jihad and since its aim is that the religion is God’s entirely and God’s word is uppermost, therefore according to all Muslims, those who stand in the way of this aim must be fought.”
This is also taught by modern-day scholars of Islam. Majid Khadduri was an Iraqi scholar of Islamic law of international renown. In his book War and Peace in the Law of Islam, which was published in 1955 and remains one of the most lucid and illuminating works on the subject, Khadduri says this about jihad:
The state which is regarded as the instrument for universalizing a certain religion must perforce be an ever expanding state. The Islamic state, whose principal function was to put God’s law into practice, sought to establish Islam as the dominant reigning ideology over the entire world….The jihad was therefore employed as an instrument for both the universalization of religion and the establishment of an imperial world state. (P. 51)
Imran Ahsan Khan Nyazee, Assistant Professor on the Faculty of Shari’ah and Law of the International Islamic University in Islamabad. In his 1994 book The Methodology of Ijtihad, he quotes the twelfth century Maliki jurist Ibn Rushd: “Muslim jurists agreed that the purpose of fighting with the People of the Book…is one of two things: it is either their conversion to Islam or the payment of jizyah.” Nyazee concludes: “This leaves no doubt that the primary goal of the Muslim community, in the eyes of its jurists, is to spread the word of Allah through jihad, and the option of poll-tax [jizya] is to be exercised only after subjugation” of non-Muslims.
Could all these jurists, who were instrumental in the codification of Sharia, be getting jihad wrong? Well, let’s see if the Qur’an has any passages justifying violence against unbelievers:
2:191-193: “And slay them wherever you come upon them, and expel them from where they expelled you; persecution is more grievous than slaying. But fight them not by the Holy Mosque until they should fight you there; then, if they fight you, slay them — such is the recompense of unbelievers, but if they give over, surely Allah is All-forgiving, All-compassionate. Fight them, till there is no persecution and the religion is Allah’s; then if they give over, there shall be no enmity save for evildoers.”
4:89: “They wish that you should disbelieve as they disbelieve, and then you would be equal; therefore take not to yourselves friends of them, until they emigrate in the way of Allah; then, if they turn their backs, take them, and slay them wherever you find them; take not to yourselves any one of them as friend or helper.”
8:12: “When thy Lord was revealing to the angels, “I am with you; so confirm the believers. I shall cast into the unbelievers’ hearts terror; so smite above the necks, and smite every finger of them!”
8:39: “Fight them, till there is no persecution and the religion is Allah’s entirely; then if they give over, surely Allah sees the things they do.”
8:60: “Make ready for them whatever force and strings of horses you can, to terrify thereby the enemy of Allah and your enemy, and others besides them that you know not; Allah knows them. And whatsoever you expend in the way of Allah shall be repaid you in full; you will not be wronged.”
9:5: “Then, when the sacred months are drawn away, slay the idolaters wherever you find them, and take them, and confine them, and lie in wait for them at every place of ambush. But if they repent, and perform the prayer, and pay the alms, then let them go their way; Allah is All-forgiving, All-compassionate.”
9:29: “Fight those who believe not in Allah and the Last Day and do not forbid what Allah and His Messenger have forbidden — such men as practise not the religion of truth, being of those who have been given the Book — until they pay the tribute out of hand and have been humbled.”
9:111: “Allah has bought from the believers their selves and their possessions against the gift of Paradise; they fight in the way of Allah; they kill, and are killed; that is a promise binding upon Allah in the Torah, and the Gospel, and the Koran; and who fulfils his covenant truer than Allah? So rejoice in the bargain you have made with Him; that is the mighty triumph.”
9:123: “O believers, fight the unbelievers who are near to you; and let them find in you a harshness; and know that Allah is with the godfearing.”
47:4: “When you meet the unbelievers, smite their necks, then, when you have made wide slaughter among them, tie fast the bonds; then set them free, either by grace or ransom, till the war lays down its loads. So it shall be; and if Allah had willed, He would have avenged Himself upon them; but that He may try some of you by means of others. And those who are slain in the way of Allah, He will not send their works astray.”
To be sure, there are some tolerant verses in the Qur’an as well — see, for example, sura 109. But then in Islamic tradition there are authorities who say that violent passages take precedence over these verses. Muhammad’s earliest biographer, an eighth-century Muslim named Ibn Ishaq, explains the progression of Qur’anic revelation about warfare. First, he explains, Allah allowed Muslims to wage defensive warfare. But that was not Allah’s last word on the circumstances in which Muslims should fight. Ibn Ishaq explains offensive jihad by invoking a Qur’anic verse: “Then God sent down to him: ‘Fight them so that there be no more seduction,’ i.e. until no believer is seduced from his religion. ‘And the religion is God’s’, i.e. Until God alone is worshipped.”
The Qur’an verse Ibn Ishaq quotes here (2:193) commands much more than defensive warfare: Muslims must fight until “the religion is God’s” — that is, until Allah alone is worshipped. Ibn Ishaq gives no hint that that command died with the seventh century.
The great medieval scholar Ibn Qayyim (1292-1350) also outlines the stages of the Muhammad’s prophetic career: “For thirteen years after the beginning of his Messengership, he called people to God through preaching, without fighting or Jizyah, and was commanded to restrain himself and to practice patience and forbearance. Then he was commanded to migrate, and later permission was given to fight. Then he was commanded to fight those who fought him, and to restrain himself from those who did not make war with him. Later he was commanded to fight the polytheists until God’s religion was fully established.”
In other words, he initially could fight only defensively — only “those who fought him” — but later he could fight the polytheists until Islam was “fully established.” He could fight them even if they didn’t fight him first, and solely because they were not Muslim.
Nor do all contemporary Islamic thinkers believe that that command is a relic of history. According to a 20th century Chief Justice of Saudi Arabia, Sheikh ‘Abdullah bin Muhammad bin Humaid, “at first ‘the fighting’ was forbidden, then it was permitted and after that it was made obligatory.” He also distinguishes two groups Muslims must fight: “(1) against them who start ‘the fighting’ against you (Muslims) . . . (2) and against all those who worship others along with Allah . . . as mentioned in Surat Al-Baqarah (II), Al-Imran (III) and At-Taubah (IX) . . . and other Surahs (Chapters of the Qur’an).” (The Roman numerals after the names of the chapters of the Qur’an are the numbers of the suras: Sheikh ‘Abdullah is referring to Qur’anic verses such as 2:216, 3:157-158, 9:5, and 9:29.)
All these Muslim authorities didn’t get the memo that jihad was a perversion of Islam. They have plenty of followers in the modern world, too. Imam Bill O’Reilly has a lot of work to do.
“O’Reilly Connects WDBJ Shooting to U.S. ‘Turning Away from Spiritualism’ and Religion,” by Josh Feldman, Mediaite, August 27, 2015:
…“The spiritualism falls apart in the face of the jihad, okay, which is a perversion of Islam, we all know that. But over the years and centuries, religion has been used to justify murder, even in the Christian precincts. That has happened. But individuals in this country now, I believe, are tending away from spirituality and into the secular-progressive ‘it’s all about me.’ And when you combine that with a mental illness, you have what you had in Virginia yesterday.”

Kepha says
Like most American political commentators, Bill O’Reilly has zilch understanding of anyone’s theology, including the one in which he was raised. For all his supposedly Catholic education, I saw Bill Maher (whom I think a stupid, pompous, unintelligent, thoroughly unfunny poser) make an ass of him on Bible knowledge. What O’Reilly knows about theology, whether Muslim or Christian, seems to be a handful of standard shibboleths largely drawn from the golden age of American liberal theology (the 1950’s and early 1960’s).
OT (but just by a little), I recently saw a screed that the U of Tennessee wanted to introduce a bunch of gender-neutral pronouns into the English language. Sigh. Apparently, monoglott North American feminists who make it a point to find offence everywhere are now dictating how English is spoken and written. This shows that the America in which we live is becoming, under the blight of the EmCeePeeCee mindset, intellectually smaller and more provincial.
O’Reilly’s most recent idiocy is yet another example of how we have become a land of “know-nothings”–only this time, instead of protecting an American culture from a perceived threat, the “know-nothingism” is self-destructive, as well as being wise in its own conceits when it is transparently foolish to any outside observer.

Trump is out there — hovering, waiting, and will take this POS down HARD!
Wellington says
No he won’t. Trump is as ignorant of Islam as is O’Reilly. Look at the way Trump excoriated Pamela Geller for holding the Mohammed drawing contest down in Garland, Texas. Truth of the matter is there is not one person running for President from either party who is telling the truth about Islam. Not one. Including Trump.

And yet, everything they do is Sunnah, and based on the model of the baleful “Prophet”.
But while ISIS does exemplify naked Islam, they are hardly the only ones–Al Qaida, the Taliban, Boko Haram, Al Shebaab, the Mullahs of Iran, and every “lone wolf” Jihadist acts on the same texts and tenets. This was true long before the Islamic State was ever declared.

But in fairness to all Muslims in general, it can be said that having an Islam devoid of such things to distract from Islam’s 5 prayer a day spiritual emptiness it is not surprising that so many Muslims follow in Muhammad’s disgraceful example.
No wonder Muhammad was so suicidal and finally brought to justice by the hands of a Jewish woman.
Don Foss says
Too much scripture and Hadiths to quote for you, and then you would only say they are “misinterpreted,” even though every word in the Qur’an is the supposed word of the all powerful and all knowing Islamic god…who could not make himself perfectly clear even in Arabic or even to Muhammad himself.
You have a Pakistani name, Khan. I lived and worked in Lahore for ytears, right near Pace Mall and Liberty Market and Ghaddafi Cricket Stadium, twenty minutes from the Indian border. Do you currently live in Pakistan? If not, why not? And if it was your parents who moved out, why did they? Happy to carry on a conversation with you once I know where you live.

“TO KNOW WHAT REAL JEHAD IS:”
Muhammad had a REAL inner JEHAD struggle convincing Allah to order Muhammad to commit adultery with his own daughter in law but Allah had no trouble at all issuing a command exactly as Muhammad instructed.
Lucky coincidence?

Zaheer bhai,
No disrespect but you need to differentiate the concept of moderate muslims from moderate Islam.
I have interacted with a lot of Muslims some very closr friends as well and are good people.
Robert Spencer has done a lot of research and for arguments sake even if some of his research was inaccurate, let me know which text the hard core ISIS, boko harams etc. are reading from?
If you follow Quran, hadith and other Islamic literature to the letter you will be eligible to join ISIS and you will loose every fibre of your humanity and start massacring every non beliver (or infidel in sight). Quran is a book of contradictions one place says no compulsion in religion and other places death to infidels, people question Islam and who leave it. It is based on Mohammed’s mood swings.
ISLAM CANNOT BE WORD OF GOD BECAUSE GOD DOESN’T CHANGE HIS MIND THIS OFTEN! AND SUDDENLY START HATING JEWS, CHRISTIANS ETC. JUST BECAUSE THEY DID NOT LISTEN TO MUHAMMAD. HUMANITY WAS LIVING FOR CENTURIES BEFORE MOHAMMED AND WE’RE DOING OK.
EVEN YOUR ANCESTORS WERE NON MUSLIMS THAT WERE FORCED TO CONVERT UNDER THE SWORD AND YOU GUYS ARE CREATING A SELF DESTRUCTIVE GENERATION OF HATERS.
IF YOU HAVE THE COURAGE I DARE YOU TO HAVE THE GUTS TO READ ROBERT SPENCER’S BOOK BEFORE YOU COMMENT.
ISLAM IS A PRISON FOR YOUR MIND AND CONSCIOUSNESS BECAUSE YOU HAVE NOT WITNESSED WHAT IS OUTSIDE THE SMALL ISLAMIC POND THAT IS STAGNATING AND IS A DANGEROUS IDEOLOGY AND IS MAN MADE OR MAHAM-MADE.

REAL jihad?
How about Boko Haram, Seleka, Muslim Brotherhood, Taliban, al-Qaeda, al-Shabaab, the Ottoman Empire, the Barbary Pirates, the black African slave trade, the destruction and genocide across South Asia, the Haqqani Network, Lashkar-e-Taiba, the Iranian Shia regime, and all the rest? Eh?
Z.H. Khan, you are truly pathetic. Islamic State is a massive international network. They have up to 30,000 jihadis from over ninety ( 90 ) countries. And massive support for their classical Islamofascism from hundreds of millions in many parts of the world.
Plus, they are completely sincere about executing people for not observing Ramadan, completely sincere about jihad and Sharia and slavery and all that stuff that the bloodthirsty psychopath Mohammed pushed on people.
At this point there are only two questions people here could pose to you.
-Are you completely deluded?
-Are you a complete propagandist / liar?
Everything you said flies in the face of reality. The Islamic State is run by Islamic Sharia legal scholars and Abu Bakr has a PhD is Islamic Studies. Even Al Azhar won’t condemn Abu Bakr!
So – do you think you know more than Al Azhar?
Islamic State is the PERFECT expression of Mohammed’s life and teaching, the perfect expression of Islam, Sharia and jihad. All sincere Muslims must support this true Caliph, and then we must exterminate all the vicious belligerents. This is civilizational warfare. There is nothing to misunderstand, and nothing to negotiate. It’s all in the Andrew Bostom books for everyone to read.
You do not get to override Mohammed the Desert Pirate, nor the dictates of classical Islam, nor the support of hundreds of millions for this wholly fascist system of oppression and endless warfare.
From here on out it is civilization versus jihad. Perhaps many tens of millions must die this century. But this is a fight to the death. Political Islam must be destroyed. It all comes down to this:

Ah, the idiot speaks again. Bill O’Reilly is a pathetic excuse of a journalist. Even the most cursory research into islam gives the lie to O’Reilly’s statement. For someone who has been in the news business as long as he has there is no excuse for not knowing the facts. All one has to do is read the Koran and the Hadiths that muslims themselves read. The jihadists are following in Mo’s footsteps and you have to be willfully ignorant to say otherwise. .
pennant8 says
O’Reilly Book Writers, Inc. will probably have another historical snow-job rolling off the assembly line pretty soon – “Killing Infidels.” This book will examine the mythology that the motivation behind 9/11 and countless other jihadist attacks were directed at infidels, simply because they were infidels. The book will point out that the fact that a disproportionate number of of the victims were infidels is just a statistical anomaly which helps to fuel the epidemic of Islamophobia in our society.

Questions for Muslims Regarding “Jihad” 12-25-14 (Edited 5-16-15)
Part I
“What the horn is to the rhinoceros, what the sting is to the wasp, the Mohammedan faith is to the Arabs of the Sudan-a faculty of offence. All the warlike operations of Mohammedan peoples are characterised by fanatacism” Winston Churchill.
“An appeaser is one who feeds the crocodile hoping it will eat him last. Victory will never be found by taking the line of least resistance.” Winston Churchill.
“While Hindus, Sikhs, Christians, Parsees and Jews, along with several million adherents of an animistic religion, all coexisted in relative harmony, one religion that would not accept compromise stood out from the rest: Islam.” Mahatma Gandhi.
At one time I didn’t know diddly about this “Islam thing” or issues related to Israel and the Middle East until I happened to read The Haj by Leon Uris and Because They Hate by Brigitte Gabriel almost back to back. Long story short I gave Islam and Muslims a “clean slate” in my own mind and addressed this issue the same way I did my racism as a youth: I read some books.
About three years ago I ordered some reading material, including Taha’s “Second Message”, and a “study” Koran to find out what this “Islam thing” was all about. When I was sixteen I was chanting nam yo ho renge kyo to a piece of paper, (gahonzen?), having NO idea what I was doing. A few years later, hair down to my ass and a knapsack on my back, I hitchhiked cross country, got saved in Nashville Tenn. and went to live on a Christian farm in Mansfield Ohio. (Not the prison.) My gra’mom called me a “seeker”. As I said, there came a time recently when I wanted to understand this “religion of peace”. It was Humaid’s article on jihad I found in my Summarized Bukhari that decided “things” for me.
Read The Source by James A. Michener.
Jihad in the Qur’an and Sunnah by Sheikh Abdullâh bin Muhammad bin Humaid (I had two links to this article that no longer work. In any case, Google it. It should be easy to find. Also check out the publisher Dar-us-Salam and sinister general manager of “Sound Vision” Abdul Malik Mujahid who personally plugs this article.)
“we may describe it, (jihad), as a surgeon’s lancet and not a butcher’s knife.” Mahmoud Mohammed Taha (I’m sure there are about 200 million dead people that would disagree with him. And this from the guy who’s been called the Mahatma Ghandi of Islam.)
Question for Muslims:
Explain this articles prominence, and significance almost as an
“Introduction”, in a book, my Summarized Sahih Al-Bukhari, and tell me….
….WHY, out of all the articles, out of all the words of pearly Muslim poetry and wisdom the publishers could have put in this, “the most authentic and true among the books of the Prophet”, this article on JIHAD is the one they chose?
Also
If Islam is the “religion of peace”, where in Sheikh Abdullah bin Humaid’s article on jihad can I find the equivalent of “Love Thy Neighbor” and “good will toward men”?
Compare Humaid’s “jihad” and Emmet Fox’ Sermon on the Mount and tell me which one best represents a spirit of Love and “compassion”
Also address “jihad” as it’s defined in Reliance of the Traveller and answer the same question. Chapter O-9.0: Jihad O: “Jihad means to war against non-Muslims, and is etymologically derived from the word mujahada signifying warfare to establish the religion.” And explain why the “greater” jihad is only mentioned once here and never seen again in this “Classic Manual of Islamic Sacred Law”.
I’ve posted this hundreds of times to many Muslims and have yet to get a single response. Well, I did receive a response from some goofball named “Dr.” Mohsen El-Guindy asking me to read his books. Instead I downloaded a bunch of his articles. Which were pure rants. An Imam, sidestepped it by telling me I had to “study Islam” to gain a greater understanding.
If you want an example of the Muslim “success story”. If you want a perfect illustration of what defines Muslims and Islam, it’s past and its present, and counter the claims that Muslims “promote peace and tolerance” with those outside the Muslim Community, and the claim that “radicals pervert the Koran through omission and false interpretation” read the following:
The 4th Conference of the Academy of Islamic Research: Arab Theologians on Jews and Israel. Sept. 1968. Translated by D.F. Green/David G. Littman (Support Secure Freedom) Front to back; 95 pages of outrageous lies, inversion and vile Jew-Hatred. I’ve read this whole thing. I invite you to find any comparison with Jewish, Christian or Buddhist “Conferences” or similar events. See the Declaration of War titled “Resolutions and Recommendations” on page 73. I use Sheikh Abdullah bin Humaid’s article on jihad, and it’s place as an “Introduction” in the Sahih Al Bukhari submitted in this flyer, as “Exhibit A” when it comes to refuting the “religion of peace” claim. “The 4th Conference…” could easily be Exhibit B.

Question #5 for Our Muslim Friends: Why has Islam never been able to deliver on the promise of ummah? The better question would be when he askes why is it that Democracies don’t fight each other yet Muslims slaughter other Muslims? (Jacob Prasch-You Tube video)
Larry A. Singleton says
Excerpt from “On Jihad” letter that I wrote a while back. My point; always “compare”. Compare Muhammad to Jesus, compare Sheikh Abdullah bin Humaid’s article on Jihad to Emmet Fox’s book Sermon on the Mount and compare the Koran to the Bible.
Another man, who does have a deserving title in front of his name, is the Reverend Richard Wurmbrand. It’s men like him, and his experiences as a Missionary in Communist Russia, that teach me the differences and the realities of who the legitimate men of God are. A perfect example is the description of the word “martyr” on page eight of his book “Tortured for Christ”:
“According to the original Greek, “martyr” means “witness”. The writer of Hebrews states that “we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses [martyrs]” (12:1), and Jesus instructs us in Acts 1:8, “You shall be witnesses [martyrs] to Me in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the end of the earth.” The New Testament martyr not only personally testified to the truth and power of Jesus Christ, but was instructed to take that witness to others, regardless of the cost. Later in the book of Acts, we read about the stoning of Stephen, making him the first to pay the ultimate price for that witness. It is at this time that the word martyr took on a much stronger meaning as one who not only is a witness but as one who is willing to give his life or to be martyred for that cause.”
In my copy of Tortured For Christ I’ve got the last four words double underlined; “martyred for that cause”. How is Muslim “martyrdom” different from that of Christians?
The world over Muslims are murdering Buddhists. And using the word “murder” is putting it kindly. In all of Islamic literature; Sahih Muslim, Sahih Bukhari, The Koran and especially Reliance of the Traveller where can you find teachings that would result in the following story?:
This is from the book “the Wisdom of Forgiveness” by His Holiness the Dalai lama and Victor Chan. Pages 47 and 48:
“Whenever the Dalai lama talks about forgiveness, he likes to use as an example the story of Lopon-la, a Lhasa monk he knew before the Chinese occupation. ‘After I escaped from Tibet, Lopon-la put in prison by Chinese’, the Dalai Lama told me. ‘he stayed there eighteen years. When he finally free, he came to India. For twenty years, I did not see him. But he seemed the same. Of course looked older. But physically OK. His mind still sharp after so many years in prison. He was still same gentle monk. He told me the Chines forced him to denounce his religion. Thery tortured him many times in prison. I asked him whether he was ever afraid. Lopon-la then told me: ‘Yes, there was one thing I was afraid of. I was afraid I may lose compassion for the Chinese.’”
I’d like to know, when I look at the pictures of the wild-eyed fanatics in pictures and TV, (or stoning Christians at Muslim Festivals in Dearborn MI.), where is that spirit of love and forgiveness when they’re shouting “alahu-akbar”? I can’t even find it in Taha’s Second Message of Islam. Here’s an exerpt of what I DO find;
“we may describe it, (jihad), as a surgeon’s lancet and not a butcher’s knife.” I’m sure there are about 200 million dead people that would disagree with him.
I’ve got a neat little “poster”; one side is a picture of a bunch of screaming, frothing at the mouth Arabs and on the panel beside that a picture of a Jew in a lab coat. The caption below says: “In 2007 Islam and Judaism’s holiest holidays overlapped for 10 days. Muslims racked up 397 dead bodies in 94 terror attacks across 10 countries during this time… ….while Jews worked on their 159th Nobel Prize.”

Larry A. Singleton says
I subscribe to Good News Magazine and Biblical Archaeology. In the latter is an article titled The Fluid Bible by Sidnie White Crawford. And what I got from that was, even when there are “mistakes”, Hebrew scripture is consistent all the way down the line. I remember the pilot in a Columbo episode where one of the characters refers to Columbo and says “He’d even look for flaws in the Old Testament”. In other word; you can’t find any. You can’t find any flaws or inconsistencies in the Old Testament. And you can’t find any flaws or inconsistencies in the New Testament.
In Peter Hammond’s book, Slavery, Terrorism and Islam, he’s got a chapter called “The Sources of Islam” and a segment called “Evaluating the Quran”. Down the side of the page I wrote, ala Batman, “Pow”, next to these paragraphs by men who have studied the Koran and their evaluations of the Koran.
Edward Gibbon in his Decline and Fall describes the Koran as “…an incoherent rhapsody of fable and precept declamation”. Volume III, Chapter L, P-86
Philosopher David Hume; “Muhammad bestows praise upon such instances of treachery, inhumanity, cruelty, revenge and bigotry as are utterly incompatible with civilized society….and every action is blamed or praised so far only as it is beneficial to the Muslims”.
Thomas Carlyle; “A wearisome jumble, crude, incondite with endless iterations…long-windedness…nothing but a sense of duty could carry any European through the Koran”.
Gerd Puin, so skilled with Arabic that Yemen entrusted him with the analysis of extremely old copies of the Koran wrote “The Quran claims for itself that it is ‘mubeen’ or clear. But if you look at it you will notice that every fifth sentence or so simply doesn’t make sense…the fact is that a fifth of the Quranic text is just incomprehensible…If the Quran is not comprehensible—if it can’t even be understood in Arabic—then it is not translatable….And since the Quran claims repeatedly to be clear but obviously is not—as even speakers of Arabic will tell you—there is a contradiction.”
Even Muslim intellectuals such as the Iranian Ali Dashti have found the literary style of the Quran to be defective: “The Quran contains sentences which are incomplete and unintelligible without…commentaries…illogically and ungrammatically applied pronouns which sometimes have no referent…more than 100 Quranic aberrations from Arabic’s normal rules have been noted”.
somehistory says
He basically knows nothing about everything, and will often spout off to a guest expert and then ask, “Tell me where I’m wrong.”
If the guest disagrees, he argues because he doesn’t want to have anyone disagree with him.
If he had Mr. Spencer, or Mr. Ibrahim on his show, spouted this nonsense of “we all know” and then asked, “where am I wrong” or “Tell me where I’m going wrong,” his audience might learn something, but he would not, at least, on air.
Zafafer says
Haha so why a guy who hold nightwatch in a jihad became a lot of blessings?
Are the whole world so stupid?Ok 1933 the whole world has Nazi Symphati and Adolf was the men of the year in 1938.
Or did they get some money?
D.C. Watson says
O’Reilly, with remarks like this, is part of the problem. He is a blowhard who pops off at the mouth either without knowing what the hell he’s talking about or knowing that he has to tow the P.C. line and mislead the public on this issue.
All of this talk about Jihad on the television and radio, yet the Suras in the Qur’an are never debated on these shows so that the public can decide for itself. Either way, why anyone still watches O’Reilly’s show or listens to anything he says is a mystery to me.
PRCS says
Many who have had the opportunity, the opportunities for some, to simply tell the O’Reilly’s, the Hannity’s, etc. that there is no “radical” Islam and that such phrases are factually bankrupt simply don’t.
One of the reasons given is fear of not being invited back to those programs–ostensibly needing those return engagements to make the case in kinder, gentler terms.
It’s been almost 14 years since 9/11.
The kinder and gentler method is a failure, as O’Reilly’s comment makes clear.
It’s time for them to stop playing games and tell the unvarnished truth–on the air.
dlbrand says
D.C. Watson said: ” O’Reilly … is a blowhard who pops off at the mouth either without knowing what the hell he’s talking about or knowing that he has to tow the P.C. line and mislead the public on this issue.
….why anyone still watches O’Reilly’s show or listens to anything he says is a mystery to me.”
Indeed.
In response to your posed question: people get addicted to many things, obviously, with respect to O’Reilly’s audience, they are seemingly addicted to horse crap–gobble it up, believe they’ve had themselves a good meal. Thus, the well fed, well informed.
voegelinian says
Bill O’Reilly is just one of countless examples of conservatives who in one way or another, with respect to the problem of Islam, are deformed by PC MC — demonstrating that the Problem of the Problem is not merely those Dastardly Leftists. How many Conservatives must defend Islam, before a Jihad Watcher sees that it’s not merely Leftists who do…?
The answer, my friend, is blowin’ in the wind… the answer is blowin’ in the wind.
gerard says
“before a Jihad Watcher sees that it’s not merely Leftists who do…?” (defend Islam)
There plenty of Jihad Watchers who see that problem.
voegelinian says
If they do, they never ever ever say so. I’m the only one who points it out. (Now, Dear Quibblers, make sure you get straight precisely what my “it” is referring to.) Meanwhile, comments over the years are inundated with robust implications (if not outright asseverations) that it’s only Leftists who are the Problem of the Problem.
dlbrand says
Leave me out of that crowd, Voegie.
Left and Right, as I have stated repeatedly and consistently, on Islam, stuck on “Extreme”; therefore, in short, cowardly. Absent in the fight against it. Present only in the masking, whitewashing, thus in the steady advancing of it.
voegelinian says
“Left and Right, as I have stated repeatedly and consistently, on Islam, stuck on “Extreme”; therefore, in short, cowardly”
Once a Jihad Watcher notices that (a seeming majority of) people on all points of the political spectrum are persisting in whitewashing Islam, the important question becomes Why? dlbrand’s answer is one of the Esdrujula Elves — Timidity (i.e., “cowardice”). Other Elves we can choose from to address this most exigent problem are Cupidity (greed) and Stupidity. As I pointed out years ago, these labels only describe general human foibles; they don’t explain why relatively decent and intelligent Westerners would go out of their way for years enabling not only evil, but an evil which threatens to destroy our societies through sedition & terrorism. Where this supposed explanation fails, the Real Problemers leap in — for Counter-Terror Analysis abhors a Vacuum — and they supply the answer with a tad too much eager alacrity, all too ready to damn vast swaths of their fellow Westerner as members of a Dastardly Cabal knowingly allying themselves with, or manipulating (one sometimes can’t disentangle which from the incoherent ravel of their ill-thought-through scenarios), Muslims.
Anyway, back to reality: What needs explaining is how it has come to pass that millions of relatively decent & relatively inteligent Westerners — on all points of the political and social spectrums (not merely “Elites”) — persist in a variety of ways to whitewash Muslims and their Islam. The reason this is an important question is because currently and for the foreseeable future our war of ideas theater of this World War — by which we are trying to wake up our fellow Westerners to the problem of Islam — remains the most important “battle space” (as Frank Gaffney aptly put it).
gerard says
“I’m the only one who points it out.”
Rubbish! eg Look at Wellington’s post above. (There are many others)
voegelinian says
I knew someone would come along and not advert specifically to my “it” (I even predicted it, and it still happened…)
Thus gerard quote my very “it” sentence — “I’m the only one who points it out.” — then wrote: “Rubbish! eg Look at Wellington’s post above. (There are many others)”
I took a gander at Wellington’s comments “above” and found only one that came close —
Truth of the matter is there is not one person running for President from either party who is telling the truth about Islam. Not one. Including Trump.
— close, but no cigar. It’s a welcome baby step from Wellington, to be sure, but he needs to go further and ask why people from both parties are doing this; then go further to notice that while of course Leftists are worse, they are not sufficiently worse such that it makes sense to characterize this as a Leftist problem — as Wellington’s language in countless posts massively imply.
Jay Boo says
@voegelinian
The jihad softies don’t see the full mountain of data that voeg offers because the don’t recognize the symptoms like the all wise voegelinian
Their view of Islam in comparison to voeg’s high standards is of an Islam that is relatively asymptomatic to which voeg misspelled using a freshman calculus term ‘asymptotic’ but rather than admit the typo he invented a voeg neologism within his own mind.
gerard says
One can make a distinction between Repubicans and Conservatives. The Conservative Republicans (for the most part) have been sidelined and are not running for office. I’m glad you recognise that the Left is worse in it’s blindness visavis the threat from Islam. Your claim “I’m the only one who..” is false. The are many JWers who are well aware of inadequacy of Republicans on the subject of Islam.
With Obama or Clinton (Hillary) we have no chance. With a Reblican President we at least have a chance.
Angemon says
“I’m the only one who points it out.”
This pretty much is voegelinian in a nutshell – we have to believe his word that he and only he alone, points “it” out, with “it” being context dependent. No need to fact check or look at any other sources – if voeg says it it must be the purest, unadulterated truth, and anyone having any sort of disagreement “quibbler” using “sophistry” to make “rabbit trails”.
mortimer says
PERVERSION? WHAT DO MUSLIMS AUTHORITIES SAY ABOUT JIHAD?
-Ayatollah Morteza Motahhari, former Chairman of the Revolutionary Council of Iran, in a collection of lectures titled, “JIHAD, HOLY WAR OF ISLAM AND ITS LEGITIMACY IN THE QU’RAN,” published by the Islamic Propagation Organization, Tehran, Iran.
-Ibn Khaldun (d. 1406), jurist, renowned philosopher, historian, and sociologist, summarized these consensus opinions from five centuries of prior Muslim jurisprudence with regard to the uniquely Islamic institution of jihad:
“In the Muslim community, THE HOLY WAR IS A RELIGIOUS DUTY, because of the universalism of the [Muslim] mission and [the obligation to] convert everybody to Islam either by persuasion or by force… The other religious groups did not have a universal mission, and the holy war was not a religious duty for them, save only for purposes of defense… ISLAM IS UNDER OBLIGATION TO GAIN POWER over other nations.”
-Condemnation of the one who dies without having gone out for jihaad or having thought of doing so: hadeeth of Abu Hurayrah, who said: “The Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: ‘Whoever dies without having gone out for jihaad or having thought of doing so, dies on a branch of hypocrisy.’” (Saheeh Muslim, 3533).
-“The head of its matter is Islam and its pillar is the Salah and its highest peak is the Jihad.” -Mohammed
-“There is no izza (honour) without Jihad.” – Second Caliph Umar ibn Khattab
-Anas ibn Malik: “Jihad is continuous until the Day of Judgement, till the last one of my Ummah fights the ‘Dajjal’.”
-“This Deen will never cease to exist. A party of the Muslims shall always fight for it until the Hour comes to pass” [Sahih Muslim]
-“sixty percent of the Quranic verses talk about jihad” -Mark Gabriel, scholar of Islam
-“One must go on Jihad at least once a year…One may use a catapult against them when they are in a fortress, even if among them are women and children. One may set fire on them and/or drown them… One may cut down their trees… One must destroy their useful book [Bible, Torah etc.]. Jihadists may take as booty whatever they decide…” – Al Ghazzali
-“Muslims must … educate their children to Jihad. This is the greatest benefit of the situation: educating the children to Jihad and to hatred of the Jews, the Christians, and the infidels; educating the children to Jihad and to revival of the embers of Jihad in their souls.” -quote from Sheikh Muhammad Saleh al-Munajjid
-The Prophet (s.a.w) was asked: “O Rasulullaah! What deed could be an equivalent of Jihad Fi Sabilillaah?” He answered: “You do not have the strength to do that deed.” -Sahih Muslim, 4636
-“If we follow the rules of interpretation developed from the classical “science of Koranic interpretation, it is not possible to condemn terrorism in religious terms. It remains completely true to the classical rules in its evolution of sanctity for its own justification. This is where the secret of its theological strength lies.” — Egyptian scholar Nasr Hamid Abu Zayd
-The Moroccan imam Ahmed Assid condemned violence in Islam’s name and was immediately declared an apostate and threatened with death by his fellow clerics. If the Ahmed Assids of the world represent “authentic Islam,” the message has not gotten through to all too many of their coreligionists.
O’Reilly hasn’t done the reading. He’s expressing what he WANTS to be true.
Jihad is superior to prayer in Islam. Mohammed called it the ‘hump of the camel’…the pinnacle of Islamic practice.

Saudi fundamentalism (Salafism) is creating the terrorism.
Stephen Schwarz wrote in his book “Saudi Fundamentalism and its Role in Terrorism”: “Despite the proliferation of terrorist groups with diverse sounding names and backers, the REAL SOURCE of our problem is the PERVERSION of Islamic teachings by the fascistic Wahhabi cult that resides at the heart of the Saudi establishment, our putative friends in the region.”
In other words, SODDY BARBARIA DOES NOT THINK JIHAD TERROR IS A ‘PERVERSION’.
mortimer says
PAKISTANI CABINET MINISTERS APPROVE OF TERRORISM TO PUNISH BLASPHEMY:
ISLAMABAD, Pakistan (AP) — Pakistan yesterday condemned Britain’s award of a
knighthood to author Salman Rushdie, and a Cabinet minister said the honor provided a
justification for suicide attacks. “This is an occasion for the world’s 1.5 billion Muslims
to look at the seriousness of this decision,” Mohammed Ijaz ul-Haq, religious affairs
minister, said in parliament. “The West is accusing Muslims of extremism and terrorism.
If someone exploded a bomb on his body, he would be right to do so unless the British
government apologizes and withdraws the ‘sir’ title,” Mr. ul-Haq said. … “The ‘sir’ title
from Britain for blasphemer Salman Rushdie has hurt the sentiments of the Muslims
across the world. Every religion should be respected. I demand the British government
immediately withdraw the title as it is creating religious hatred,” Mr. Niazi told the
National Assembly.
Westman says
Didn’t Mr. ul-Haq get that exactly backwards, that is, the “Religious Hatred” by Muslims, in particular a specific Iranian cleric-madman, caused Salmon Rushdie to be become knighted?
Mr. ul-Haq simply demonstrates Winston Churchill’s observation that Islam is as dangerous and volatile as hydrophobia in a dog.
Brian says
All prominent people are targeted by “moderate” taqyyia spewing Muslims who insist in guiding their prey with the lie that jihad is an inner struggle and of course they fall for that lie without due process of researching thoroughly…The more the lie is spewed, the more it gets accepted as truth…
Sad but true…
“A lie told often enough becomes the truth.” Vladimir Lenin
dlbrand says
“… jihad …is a perversion of Islam, we all know that.”
Over the top words of one, with respect to Islam, huge uninformed fool.

You bet he believes in the myth of the moderate.
As do the lot of FNC, if we are to take their statements on Islam at face value. Therefore they propagate the lie.
Misstating on Islam and its following, thus misleading those unread on Islam, deceiving the gullible, FNC crowd is simply in the circle of Islam’s useful idiots.
Thomas says
Republican or democrat doesn’t matter, the goal is one religion, one people, one currency and the law will be sharia. This cannot be stopped, every country is being overrun with jihadist just waiting to strike. We are all sitting ducks. Christians are being Slaughtered in the Middle East and in the years to come it will happen in western nations as they take in hundreds of thousands of jihadists. Game over, check mate! The west has no wil to stand up against these savages.

Cecilia Ellis says
LOL! Good one, Doc! I doubt very seriously that O’Reilly would take on that “provocation.” That would require looking at the facts, something which O’Reilly appears unwilling to do. It would also require that he acquire around-the-clock security to protect himself from the outrage of adherents of the Religion of Peace. There is really nothing that I can add to what already has been said superbly by other commentators on this thread. To all, great analysis. Like you, there is no way one can conclude that O’Reilly has read one word of Islam texts — Qur’an and/or Hadiths.

Jihad is the most important and Continuous Activity till World Caliphate is Established and Sharia is Implemented. Any Activity towards Jihad is ok in Moral and legal Aspects. Thereby Sex Jihad, Love Jihad, Taqiyya Jihad, Lure Jihad, Deceptive Jihad, Homicide Jihad, Suicide jihad etc are seen.
In Suicide Jihad, one has to see Maximum Numbers of Kafirs are Massacred are pushed into Hell. Kaffir Strength come down to that Extent, and the Suicider enters Jannah(Islam’s Paradise) straight,In Homicide Jihad, Kafir Strength comes down;the Jihadi will enter Janaah at his death.
In other Jihads, Not Only the Number of kafirs comes down, but the strength of Boasters go up. It gives double difference. For Example Boaster strength is a and b is Kafir strength and a=b. If 5 leave Kafir and Embrace Boasters, the Net Difference will be 10.
If someone could brought into Boasters side, Janaah is not only for the Jihadi but his/her ancestors too.
Is there any Evidence. No. Only Myth.
Till World Caliphate is achieved, Muslims will be in 2 Groups. Frontline Jihadis and 2. Stealth Jihadis. Both helps each other, though on many occasions Latter blame the Former for their Atrocities, but is only Eyewash..

This Bill O’reilly is a curious guy. Sometimes he seems to get Islam and other times he is so off you just wonder. I don’t trust him anymore as I don’t know where he stands on issues. This statement of Jihad is perversion of Islam is so damaging only JW readers can understand the impact on Islam Ignorant people. What a shame! Thanks to all enablers of Islam and Bill O’reilly.

And I have sent him Stephen Coughlin’s information and of course he’s aware of Frank Gaffney’s Center for Security Policy and even had Dr Gorka on the show. He’s had Franklin Graham even tell him. He’s lost any respect I had for him. He is as you say bowing to his paymaster. Saudi’s own around 20% of FOX.
He should be asked about slandering islam because he’s already showing how he’ll be a good little dhimmi. Shame of FOX and shame of Bill. Gretta is another FOX show giving islam slack. Shame on her too. When any of the TV talking heads ask Why are they…doesn’t mater who it ends; they don’t understand this: “It is the nature of islam to doinate not to be dominated; to impose it’s power on all nations and to extend it’s power to the entire planet.” Hasan Al-Banna founder muslim brotherhood.

My e-mail to Bill O’Reilly:
Once again, you pontificate on things you don’t have a clue about.
However, in this instance, your ignorance helps to provide cover for the threat that comes from Islam.
The jihadists tell us quite clearly (and so does the Koran) that jihad is an obligation of muslims and that it is in line with the teachings and history of Islam,
and then you have the arrogance to tell these people that they are wrong, that they don’t understand their own beliefs.
You’ve made a big deal about Dear Leader and the democrats not accurately identifying the terrorism the world faces, and here you are doing the exact same thing.
For God’s sake man, educate yourself, talk to real experts, read some works by experts like “Catastrophic Failure: Blindfolding America in the Face of Jihad” by Stephen Coughlin.
It looks like you’re suffering from fear and bowing to P.C. tyranny – fear of being labeled with the “Islamaphobic” tag. You’re giving us spin – dangerous spin, in the “no spin zone.”

Leave aside the fact that jihad is a central tenet of Islam for all Muslims, although all don’t endorse the terrorist form of it
I will believe that when I see the MMM, million Muslim march against Islamic terrorism. Ok, I will settle for
500,000 or even 250,000. When somebody tries to organise a rally against IS etc. they usually get 20 – 50 people. In this ‘peaceful’ religion they are all scared of what their community will think of them.
every Muslim believes in their deepest core in the coming domination of Islam.

Dave Schwep says
Islam itself is INDEED The Perversion – It is an affront to the plan of God blessing the rest of the world through Isaac, Not Ishmael as many Arabs believe. Moreover Mohammed himself has a very sordid character – easily verified by history. Mohammed ‘created Allah from a plethora of False god’s around 600AD – just 1400 years ago.
It is extraordinary how many have bought into the Mohammedan / Islam lie.

WTF…!?
It’s highly ironic that in a post highlighting the softness of O’Reilly, Spencer shows his own soft nougaty underside.
wildjew says
I am reading Glenn Beck’s book, “It Is About Islam.”
Beck wrote: ‘On Fox News, Greta Van Susteren said that Geller’s free speech rights should not trump police officers’ safety. “My message is simple— protect our police. Do not recklessly lure them into danger, and that is what happened in Garland, Texas, at the Mohammed cartoon contest,” she said at the top of her May 5 program. “Yes, of course, there’s a First Amendment right and it’s very important, but the exercise of that right includes using good judgment.”
There is actually no “but” in the First Amendment. And Greta seemed to forget that government exists to protect us and our rights, not the other way around….
Good enough but Mr. Beck does not touch his friend and former colleague Bill O’Reilly:
“Okay, now the group says it is entitled to insult Mohammed because of freedom of speech.
That is true. They have the right to do it.
BUT again, it is stupid. It accomplishes nothing.
There has been no program stronger than The Factor in speaking out against the jihad.

So. Glenn Beck is evil. He rejects the open society. I did not know that. A traitor, just like Noam Chomsky, CNN anchors, British Labour, the European Parliament and so many others. Our list of allies grows thin.
Every day I learn that my outreach work on social media is more and more important. Much more so than I could have thought. I vote with my keyboard. I will reach as many as I can.

Victor Redlick says
The unfortunate perversion, in this case, is O’Reilly’s distortion of the truth. Bill likes to encourage the study of etymology; as is demonstrated by his nightly inclusion of words uncommon to the masses in everyday chatter. Can he say “capricious”?
Aton says
The other thing that Reilly forgets is that there are two kinds of Jihadist. There are those who go out and fight Jihad, and there are those who support the Jihadists (financially, materially). And as Mo found out, the latter are just as important as the former (there is a reference in the Koran somewhere, i forget where it is now).
So you can be a devout fundamentalist Jihadist, by simply cramming the Zakat collecting box with money. And just as important – you can completely deny being a real Jihadist at the same time. So many of these richer Westernised Muslims may be performing Jihad as much as any fighter in France, USA or Syria.
kay says
Re: ” There are those who go out and fight Jihad, and there are those who support the Jihadists (financially, materially).”
Truth. As pointed out by Dr. Bill Warner.
Jihad is by force of arms; it is also by contributing effort, by contributing money, by contributing sons for war and so forth.
The requirement is that SOME Muslims from each community go out and kill, plunder, enslave and so forth. AND that the broader Muslim community support the war effort.
Thus, when Islamists from ninety or more countries go to Islamic State to kill and destroy. all those communities are in fact represented in jihad, especially the mothers of the jihadis.
Islamofascism is a true transnational effort and supra-national effort.
And the Saudis have done a great job in supporting both al-Qaeda and Islamic State.
We are fighting ALL of Islam. What we see is the part of the iceberg that sits above the waterline. Basically they have huge infrastructure. Including strong support in Europe.
Speaking of icebergs, I hope that Europe is not going down slowly ( over a ninety year period ) like the Titanic.
It was just a scratch. And they had no lifeboats.
voegelinian says
Anon and kay did not mention another crucial type of Jihad — of the Pen and Mouth: Propaganda, or Desinformatsiya as the Evil Empire of Commnists called it — or taqiyya (Islamic deceit), of which there are many permutations and subcategories:
Taqiyya (Shia) or Muda’rat (Sunni): tactical deceit for the purposes of spreading Islam.
Kitman: deceit by omission.
Tawriya: deceit by ambiguity.
Taysir: deceit through facilitation (not having to observe all the tenets of Sharia).
Darura: deceit through necessity (to engage in something “Haram” or forbidden).
And my favorite:
Muruna: the temporary suspension of Sharia in order that Muslim immigrants appear “moderate.”
The reason Islamic deceit, Jihad of the Smiling Lie, is so important is because it reinforces the West’s gullibility which continues to think most Muslims Just Wanna Have a Sandwich (and Just Wanna Have Western Values in Synch with their Charming Oriental Multicultural Ways) — thus allowing innumerable Muslims deep into every institution of our societies where over decades they can lay the ground for terror attacks worse than 911.
kay says
Islam is all cultural warfare, all the time. Jihad. Sharia. Taqiyya. It is a whole culture based on arrogance and aggression and power plays and coercion and intolerance and negativity and sheer irrationality. And that’s all it is. All negativity, all the time. About 700 million to 800 million of these Muslims are substantially fascist. The others are just warm bodies.
I just spent several hours over on youtube hammering on Islamists. It’s amazing to see, in August 2015, people outright claiming that “Islam is Peace” and that any violence is somehow non-Islamic or anti-Islamic.
I take those ridiculous statements as teachable moments and slam in some pieces with cut and paste. It’s kind of like janitorial work. A lot of the pro-Islam stuff is just lying and fabrication. Like a video post labelled as “100 million Muslims in China.” There are at most 23 million, and other people also hammered on that. There is real counter-jihad on youtube, and my posts are among the most effective. My posts encourage and back up and arm other people who fight the good fight.
One way you can tell you’re winning on youtube is when there is no counterattack. Now, the pro-Islam party need not respond, but that’s a win if the anti-Islam statement is effective. And the stuff I post is pretty hard core and substantial. My material builds a real case, but we do not know how many people read the comments. Yet we DO know that people are automatically alerted to thread updates.
One tactic is to join in on youtube discussion threads that have 20 to 100 comments already. Then every person who posted for that thread is guaranteed to get word of my post when next they log into youtube. They don’t even have to visit the video per se. It’s in their face. Starting a new thread does not mean anyone will ever read it. People have to look for those.
In one hour I can change the balance of power for a large stack of threads, revisited or newly engaged. It was fun smashing Reza Aslan and the fascist Tehran regime this evening. Seems no one else knew Reza is a paid running dog for the Shia fascist theocracy. So I’m destroying his street cred. Permanently. I’m “killing” him with “death by a thousand social cuts.” Supporting Sam Harris is equally important. So is destroying Islamic State supporter Noam Chomsky. So is promoting the new Robert Spencer book, the Bostom books and so forth.
I am fully engaged in cultural warfare. Because the attack on Charlie Hebdo Paris really pissed me off. Stephane Charbonnier was a brave man who risked death each day to satirize religion. But he did not deliver political analysis per se. He wasn’t breaking the bad guy narratives.
I do. I’m smashing these bad guys and removing the stigma of counter-jihad in social media. I am racking up a decent number of small social media wins to help jump-start a serious political conversation and wake people up. Counter jihad work is extremely hard. It’s a LOT of effort. But I KNOW my approach works. And helping save western civilization is actually rather cool.
I tell lots of people about Bill Warner, Andrew Bostom and Robert Spencer, among others.
And some woman posted back to me on youtube saying Ali Sina is being translated into Portuguese. I requested the translation link via another post but don’t have it. We have to build out a big network and share resources.
In any event, I am defeating Bill O’Reilly nonsense without directly addressing him. All the pro-Islamic statements come down to nonsense. But that nonsense is high volume and pervasive and it needs to be broken in the public square. So youtube is of huge and central importance, and I’m getting the job done there, a few videos at a time.
Don Foss says
Great stuff, and by Kay also. Excellent! Keep up the great work and never stop letting Muslims know that we are educating ourselves from the sources, the truth of Islam, and what those Muslims on threads or CNN or Salon and HuffPost say about Islam matters not a single iota; what the Islamic god says in the Qur’an and what Muhammed said and did from Hadiths are all that matters. THAT is Islam, not what some taqiyya-spewing Muslim BSers say it is.
kay says
Re Don Foss: “Great stuff, and by Kay also. Excellent! Keep up the great work and never stop letting Muslims know that we are educating ourselves from the sources,”
Hi Don. Thanks. Just keep those rose bouquets and Milano cookies coming. 🙂
You gave an important phrase here which I will use. You said “educating ourselves from the sources”.
That’s really what it comes down to. So the question is this: what is a valid source?
I definitely know, and I shove the good stuff out there.
The source is “valid” If No One Can Break It. I put stuff out there and the bad guys should be worried. They can’t break my stuff. But I am breaking their bogus pseudo-arguments.
Did another couple hours today on the front lines. The saving grace is that Youtube allows me to slam in posts that are article length, 100 to 200 lines. Plus the Youtube police are not cutting out my web link references. So I can deliver lots of payload and connect people up to the Underground, as in Robert Spencer and Pamela Geller. Like I did today.
Front lime work means taking abuse and dealing with arrogance and contempt. It’s good training in patience. Since I RESPOND to people and tailor my writing, Youtube is not clobbering me for spamming. My posts are not being edited nor are they taken down. Also, I’m kinda flooding some their threads with really high-quality stuff.
Again, there is no idea what kind of readership one gets. There are no view count metrics. But I am entering hot debates on some popular and/ or important videos. Sometimes the important thing is to back up someone being hammered by Islamic orcs.
There are two chicks I back up really well. One is a Persian girl whose mother was killed by the effing Shia fascists. This chick swears all the time when she’s fighting the Islamist orcs on youtube. Anyway, from personal experience I can tell you that getting a Plus 1 or backup comment makes all the difference on the front lines.
No one should have to do this social media combat alone. We should do it in pairs or roundrobin style. That approach is one of my contributions to the theory of social media counter-jihad.
I have also learned that there is a tremendous amount of anti-Semitism on youtube. Lots of Muslim anti-Semitism. And lots of non-Muslim anti-Semitism. There is TREMENDOUS anger associated with religion. It’s a real pandemic on youtube.
Don Foss says
The greatest source for me was eight years in 4 different Islamic countries as a civilian, living and working with everyday Muslims, and having a long term romantic relationship (secretly, of course) with a Palestinian Muslima in Kuwait who educated me on what most Muslim women, including her, really think of Islam. Through my friendships, and after gaining trust, I learned how many Muslims – Muslimas especially – actually hate their own religion but are stuck and trapped in a culture where
aposticizing (or simply nt giving lip service or going through the right motions) means serious problems in their lives, from employment and shunning to impossible death. I know and lived in the cultures where Islam is like an always-present dark cloud over the entire culture. Then, the sources anyone can us: The Qur’an, Ahaddeth/Hadiths, legal documents and decisions made in the name of sects (edicts), and understanding Islam’s true history of jihad and the concept of jihad; the 6th pillar of Islam.
I am currently living and working in South America – I had actually too much of Arabia, North Africa and Pakistan and SA is like a reward at the end of my career. I am outlining and gather notes for a book will attempt to write as soon as I retire….soon.
Happy to see people like yourself talking sense from a knwledge-based POV. Keep it up.

It’s possible that merely the one Esdrujula Elf, Cupdidity, can explain a Bill O’Reilly. Or, one would be forgiven for succumbing to the temptation of reaching for that other Elf, Stupidity (others include Timidity (fear) and Rigidity (unexplained resistance to data). However, this persistent, stubborn inclination on the part of Counter-Jihadists to nearly always explain Western Islamophilia by reaching either for one of the Elves — or to reach for the darker explanation of a conspiracy of a Dastardly Cabal of Leftist Elites pulling all the strings of our lives which seem increasingly, dismayingly out of our control — all seems predicated on the inability to see the broader phenomenon of a cultural sea change, a paradigm shift, that has occurred in the modern West, where over the past half century or so it has become dominant and mainstream to denigrate the West while elevating non-Western cultures.
Along come (or, rather, return with a vengeance) on our radar recently one particular non-Western culture Muslims. For reasons I detailed meticulously in another couple of comments elsewhere –
1. http://www.jihadwatch.org/2015/08/the-sad-case-of-mogens-camre-criminalizing-dissent-in-denmark/comment-page-1#comment-1284180

— Muslims have become the “Mother of all Others”, elevated to the status of #1 Aggrieved Ethnic Minority to be Respected and Kowtowed To, no matter what they do.
This dynamic requires a cultural receptivity on the Western side which in turn needs a reasonable explanation. The Esdrujula Elves and the conspiracy theory, for reasons that should be self-evident, don’t suffice – unless one likes either to trivialize the problem, or lurch into the darker waters imputing the West itself as hopelessly evil (and requiring a Mad Max global civil war to “purify”).

O’Reilly just continues to show the world that he’s, pure and simple, a pompous know-it-all. He’s got all the answers! He even thinks he can rewrite the Gospels, i.e., his book entitled, ‘Killing Jesus’. I avoid watching him as much as I can, and I usually can’t stand more than about 10 minutes of him whenever I make the mistake of thinking he might actually have a guest that’s interesting! It’s absolutely clear, from this article, that he has no clue what fundamental islam is really all about!!! He still thinks islam is a “peaceful religion”–PATHETIC!!!!!
