Several days ago Robert Spencer posted the photograph of a sign advertising a Muslim propaganda meeting, as part of a college-campus “Islam Awareness Week,” to which someone had helpfully added the annotation “Sura 9:5.” This cryptic addition directed would-be visitors to Qur’an 9:5, the “Verse of the Sword” that commands Muslims thus:
And when the sacred months have passed, then kill the polytheists wherever you find them and capture them and besiege them and sit in wait for them at every place of ambush. But if they should repent, establish prayer, and give zakah, let them on their way. Indeed, Allah is Forgiving and Merciful.
That’s not a verse Muslim propagandists are likely to want to have the attention of non-Muslims drawn to; nor are they likely to want non-Muslims to become aware of other, quite similar verses preaching hate and homicide, such as Sura 9:29:
Fight those who believe not in Allah nor the Last Day, nor hold that forbidden which hath been forbidden by Allah and His Messenger, nor acknowledge the religion of Truth, (even if they are) of the People of the Book, until they pay the Jizya with willing submission, and feel themselves subdued.
Or Sura 2:191-192:
…fight in the way of Allah with those who fight with you…[2.191] And kill them wherever you find them, and drive them out from whence they drove you out, and persecution is severer than slaughter, and do not fight with them at the Sacred Mosque until they fight with you in it, but if they do fight you, then slay them; such is the recompense of the unbelievers.
Or any others among what are often described as the “Jihad verses” in the Qur’an.
That anonymous annotator who scribbled “Sura 9:5” was onto something.
To be effective in countering Muslim propaganda, it will not do only to denounce, without more, an ideology called “Islam” or people called “Muslims.” That simply signifies, to the simple-minded, that the denouncer is “intolerant” and an “Islamophobe.” Always and everywhere, those informed about, and therefore worried about, Islam, should attempt to force the actual Islamic texts, by constant quotation, into our collective consciousness. We must put Muslims on the detailed defensive, so that they are not simply standing up for something called “Islam,” but made to acknowledge, and forced to try to explain, or explain away, the most disturbing passages in the Qur’an, Hadith, and Sira. It is much harder for Muslims to justify a specific blood-curdling verse than to defend Islam in general terms.
And it would also be exceedingly useful to have mass-produced mini-posters displaying not just one but several dozen passages of the Qur’an, but also the proper names – say, those of little Aisha (age 9) and Asma bint Marwan and Abu ‘Afak – that might stimulate non-Muslims to look into Muhammad’s morality (the moral issues raised by his 9-year-old child bride, and his evident approval of the murders of those who mocked him in verse) – that need to be made part of a discussion of Muhammad, and that would be far more disturbing for defenders of the faith than such vasty terms as “Islam” and “Muslims.” If the hundreds of thousands, or perhaps by now a few million, of non-Muslims in this country who have educated themselves – not least through this site – about Islam, were to carry with them at all times several dozen of these mini-posters, adhesive paste on their backs, and of a size to be seen when affixed to any announcement of Muslim propagandizing that they run across, whether advertising an Infidels-Welcome Night at the local mosque, or a presentation of Islamic post-colonial victimhood before a university’s left-wing student group, or a soulful more-in-sorrow tale of victimhood before a churchful of interfaith outreach innocents, or AFDI-denouncing signs in subways and on buses, this would certainly make things much more difficult for Muslim propagandists engaged in the task of taqiyya.
In the same way, those few political candidates who have been warning publicly about Islam would be more effective by quoting from, and drawing attention to, the actual wording of Qur’anic texts. Imagine, for example, that instead of saying “I think Islam hates us” without more, Donald Trump had said: “Based on my reading of the Qur’an I don’t think it unreasonable to conclude that Islam inculcates hatred of non-Muslims. Let’s all start by looking at 9:5 and 9:29.” The difference in effect would be considerable. It is certainly not his wonted tone, but he can surely put that tone on for the occasion, playing the sudden scholar of Islam for the greater good. Then, to answer him, Muslim defenders would be stuck to the tar-baby of those impossible-to-explain-away verses from the Qur’an, and forced to discuss them. And the whole galere of their willing media collaborators – The New York Times, The Huffington Post, CNN, NPR, the BBC — would be forced to do the same, in reporting on this guerilla war of counter-posters. “And,” continues this revised edition of Trump (or, of course, of other candidates – Cruz? — who show a willingness to take Islam’s measure), “I’d like to learn more about Muhammad’s marriage to little Aisha, and about what happened to Asma bint Marwan and Abu ‘Afak.” All in a disingenuous spirit of Youth-Wants-To-Know. Once these names are put out there, they can’t be unremembered, their stories cannot be ignored, as defenders of Islam would much prefer. But by then it would be too late. Imagine a world where Muslims are forced to discuss not the abstract “Islam,” but the “Jihad verses” of the Qur’an and the marriage-and-murder record of Muhammmad the Perfect Man, as set out in the Sira and Hadith.
The more general and vague the charges made against Islam, the less effective and more easily challenged they will be; the more specific and textually-based those charges, the harder it will be for Muslims to ignore them. “Islam hates us” can be waved away; a Qur’anic passage, or several dozen, commanding Muslims to “Kill the Unbelievers,” can not. But don’t wait for last week’s scribbler of “Sura 9:5” to reappear; rather, pitch in yourself, follow his lead and expand upon his work with your own supply of pre-printed Post-It-Note lists of passages or personages from Qur’an, Hadith, and Sira, ready for affixing to a larger pro-Islam propaganda poster, whenever one crosses your path. For which would you rather encounter at this point in our collective confusion and doubt, on a college campus or a local mosque, accompanied by a Middle Eastern dinner and bake sale — an evening of “Islam Awareness” or what is a very different thing, an evening of Islam Awareness?

linnte says
I think this is a great idea! When on Facebook I always encourage people to read the Qur’an but posting verses is much better.
Maybe Mr. Spencer could have 4*6 stickers printed in bulk and charge us for them at a bit bigger cost? Maybe Jamie G could do it. They take donations from people. WHICH BTW, ROBERT! YOU DO THIS BLOG FOR NOTHING!!!! Thank you!
I would order stickers if they were available, and Robert would know the best verses to print.
Dr John says
A really fantastic idea. I have been thinking about this for a long time. In order to get the widest use and take up, however, I believe that they should be free. We really need to go on a practical offensive now and not just talk to ourselves.

I would put stickers all over the place. EVERYWHERE people congregate, like shopping malls, grocery stores etc. I would be willing to pay! I saw the link above for making your own stickers, but I would be best to have many different verses from Qur’an to spread around. Actual verses, not just references to them.

Hugh Fitzgerald wrote: “it would also be … useful to have mass-produced mini-posters”… of K.9.5.
I had the same thought as Hugh did: a sticker that simply says “Koran 9:5” or T-shirts with “K. 9:5” (in the same way as some have “Jn 3:16” on a T-shirt) or “Read Koran 9:5” or “THE PRIME DIRECTIVE-K.9.5” or “K.9.5=The Hump of the Camel” or “The Verse of the Sword-K.9.5”, etc., etc. … Stickers like that can go with you anywhere in your pocket. Slap them where they will provoke critical thought about Islamic supremacism. Let Muslims know we have figured out their duplicitous, disingenuous game.
Once most people in the West understand that ‘The Verse of the Sword is the Prime Directive of Islam’, it’ll be game over for Islam. Muslims will then have to choose to identify with terrorism or leave Islam entirely.
There would be an ENORMOUS demand for such stickers, I’m sure.
Are there any JihadWatch readers out there who make stickers for a living??? Let us know.
Robert Spencer might put an ad on the side of this page so you can sell them. I will place an order for a thousand.

Me too, and re-order as soon as I run out.

Bill Warner has proposed and implemented a similar strategy by getting people to go into some Interfaith meeting with muslims and at some moment, they take out their placards and make a silent protest. He also brought some Copts, victims to Islamic terror to give testimony. He argues that the way to overcome the liberals is not just with facts, but by appealing to compassion. Liberal compassion is not up to much, but they pretend to have it. . It is also about making known the persecution of Christians among churchgoers who are into this sham Interfaith stuff with muslims who go on and on with more and more takiya. He calls it “A voice for the voiceless”. Another gag is to tape up one’s mouth. Such efforts are not very expensive, as placards can be made available in websites, printed out and posted in billboards and other places.
In the 1932 election, when Roosevelt won and there were millions of unemployed and hungry people, a group of people were at a campaign meeting and began all at once saing “When will we eat?”. The politician had to shut up.
jewdog says
Some of those who become Islam-aware run away in disgust, but others go off to join ISIS. It depends on your values and preferences. If you are a decent person who likes puppies and babies, you probably won’t find Islam very compatible, but if you like to pull the wings out of flies, to beat your girl friend, and think Big Bang Theory is funny, you may find Mohammad cool and ISIS inspiring. It’s all very subjective.

billybob says
How many times I have been in discussion with somebody in a forum, when I remembered I had read an article on Jihad Watch on the subject, but could not recollect when, not alone the title.
You know what I think would be helpful? If Robert could provide an index to all his articles by topic. Pay a university student to spend a hundred hours on this project. I’m sure the money could be found, or he could even request donations specifically for this project. The end product would be a searchable database where one could go for all articles related to the topic of search. This would be an extremely valuable resource for everyone.
Then one could input a term like “Muhammad’s marriage” or “Sharia” or “Islam and gay” or “Islam and dogs”, whatever, and get all articles that illuminate the requested subject.
Now I think it might be possible to have a Google Search button on site, that will then search the site’s contents, but I’m not sure how this works, if it has to be paid for or what.
Of course, we can always search the Internet at large, but if we are really looking for a specific article from Robert we are not going to easily find it that way.

Alas, as much as I love Jihad Watch, its internal search engine is not what it might be.

Hugh Fitzgerald makes some excellent points in this article. The only time I have ever rendered an opponent speechless in a debate over Islam was when I quoted that verse about striking off the heads and fingertips of unbelievers (8:12). He just didn’t know what to say about that.

Excellent, Hope!
I carry around a notebook with a few short, damning verses–Qur’an 9:5, the Sura of the Sword, and Qur’an 4:34, about wife beating, among them.
EYESOPEN says
You mean like these, graven?
These quotes are from their UN-holy book – the quran:
2:191-193: “And slay them wherever you come upon them…”
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.”
5:33: “This is the recompense of those who fight against Allah and His Messenger, and hasten about the earth, to do corruption there: they shall be slaughtered, or crucified, or their hands and feet shall alternately be struck off…”
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!”
8:60: “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 practice 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 fulfills 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.”
gravenimage says
Absolutely, EYESOPEN. All good examples.
Diane Harvey says
And be prepared for that old-standy, “You’ve taken that out of context.”
Yes, yes, please tell us in what context is “then kill the polytheists wherever you find them and capture them and besiege them and sit in wait for them at every place of ambush” acceptable?
gravenimage says
So true. But so many of these quotes are so stark that it is not really possible to posit a peaceful interpretation. Not that this will stop those in deep denial.
And good to see you posting again, Diane!
maghan says
Well, if such verses are all in context, then the only Muslims in the world should be Arabs from Arabia and nowhere else.
Or pushing this evasion about “context” to its logical conclusion then Islam should stop being a religion and become extinct once Muhammad died.
Susan B says
Islam should have been extinct except for a nasty little apostasy law.
Yusuf al-Qaradawi, head of the Muslim Brotherhood and one of the most respected leaders of Sunni Islam. Said:
“If they had gotten rid of the apostasy punishment islam wouldn’t exist today. Islam would have ended since the death of the prophet. Opposing apostasy is what kept islam to this day.”

Absolutely, right to the point. This is what makes the Sura reference, inked onto the poster, an effective, minimalist, educational intervention, rather than an act of defacement or rage.
mortimer says
…yes, Mathieu, we only have seconds to score a point
Custos Custodum says
In the same spirit of innocent inquiry, one might ask:
Why does the flag of Islamic State (or “ISIL” in Barry-speak) say:
Allah is the messenger of Muhammad [sic!].
(Print a copy of the flag to show.)
The three lines in the bottom portion read
الله Allah [is]
رسول the messenger rasul
محمد [of] Muhammad
mortimer says
Yes.
Allah is the messenger of Mohammed
Custos Custodum says
Teacher’s answer key for JW readers (use AFTER you have put your local taqiyya artist on the spot):
(1) The words read from top to bottom do indeed mean “Allah is the messenger of Muhammad” in Arabic.
(2) The trick is that Muslims prefer to write the name of Allah ABOVE that of Muhammad. So they simply switch the first and the third line, and effectively read from the bottom up: MUHAMMAD [is the] MESSENGER [of] ALLAH
Again – have fun letting THEM explain all this!
This can be combined with Hugh’s very helpful hints – keep it simple and memorable/disturbing for your listeners.
Mark Berlinger says
Inform all the Islam ignorant about the threat to our freedom. Expose the Islamic texts by constant quotation into the collective consciousness.
Put Muslim apologists on the defensive. Do not let them off the hook by simply defending Islam in general terms. Make them acknowledge and try explaining each specific assault on our freedom. Muslims cannot justify any of those 109 verses of violence.
awake says
Bravo Hugh, bravo!
The Islamic doctrine, and the words and deeds of their prophet Muhammad, (as comparative to the same for the literary doctrinal words and deeds of Christ), serve as an irrefutable object lesson, and will ultimately be the undoing of Islam.
Get in the game folks! It is far past time to begin to operate outside of the JW echo chamber. The rotten fruit that Islam is, and has been, is ripe for the picking, and the picking apart, as we speak.
Their immutable doctrine is a flaw on it’s own. Their prophet and his historical actions are indefensible to all but those bereft of any compassion and logic.
Veiled Threat says
Muslims will indeed say you are taking the verses out of context and then cite bloodthirsty verses from the bible, proving that anyone can make a religion look bad. So you have to also make the distinction as to how the verses are widely interpreted by modern Islamic scholars and Imams and by Islamic nations around the world. For instance, that the official state-sanctioned punishment for apostacy is death in Afganistan, despite the fact that the US went in there and installed a modern democratic government.
Michael Copeland says
Point out the HUGE difference.
The Koran is part of Islamic law. The Old Testament is not part of US law.
One who denies any Koran verse is to be killed, vigilante style and penalty-free,
“since it is killing someone who deserves to die”.
Kepha says
There’s a bigger problem with raising the moral issues about Islam with the Islam-unaware folks: Westerners are, at this point, steeped in moral relativism. One reason why the post-modern West is so averse to making any value judgments and so prone to a cultural relevance that will ever be making excuses for Islam is because it has rejected any basis for moral judgment in its search to shake from itself the bands of God and his Messiah (Ps. 2).
Even secular philosophers have observed the ethical problem with an anti-Christian modernity. Joseph Schaechter and Friedrich Waismann of the Vienna Circle (a group of 1930’s critical thinkers who sought to ground all knowledge and values in the empirical) recognized they had a problem getting from the empirical “is” to the ethical “ought”. Their colleague Moritz Schlick, observing how Austria was falling to the Nazis, uttered a cry of the heart “Where is the Socratic man to lead us out?”–forgetting that Socrates, when Callicles challenged him that the tyrant was the happiest of men, could only fall back on affirming a judgment after death.
Islam–or any fiercely assertive ideology that threatens violence if it doesn’t get its way–has traction today because of our rebellion against Christ.
maghan says
The secular West has already solved that problem. The solutions were Kantian deontological ethics and Millian utilitarianism. The former derives from Kant’s categorical imperative principle and the latter from the principle of sensate pleasure and pain. Both are based on the idea of human empathy, In short, both Kant’s and Mill’s ethics reduce to the “golden rule”.
Donna says
This is very useful information, I’ll try to integrate this idea wherever I can here. “To be effective in countering Muslim propaganda, it will not do only to denounce, without more, an ideology called “Islam” or people called “Muslims.” That simply signifies, to the simple-minded, that the denouncer is “intolerant” and an “Islamophobe.” Always and everywhere, those informed about, and therefore worried about, Islam, should attempt to force the actual Islamic texts, by constant quotation, into our collective consciousness. We must put Muslims on the detailed defensive, so that they are not simply standing up for something called “Islam,” but made to acknowledge, and forced to try to explain, or explain away, the most disturbing passages in the Qur’an, Hadith, and Sira. It is much harder for Muslims to justify a specific blood-curdling verse than to defend Islam in general terms.”

I and a few like minded friends, have been doing this, on a small scale, for a while. We download and print koranic verses into paper, cut them up, and carry them around with us. When opportunity presents itself, we leave them in strategic places. Not sure how to do this on pre-printed Post-It notes, but am going to try.
When I visited a friend in the Hallamshire, Sheffield, I had been told by an acquaintance who works there, that mohammedans had demanded the prayer room be free from religious symbols. So I provided myself with lots of religious symbols, and left them in the room, including the link to Jihad Watch.
Incidentally, the prayer room was full of ? Yep, **mohammedan prayer rugs**.
jim Archambault says
Several problems with quoting the Qur’an, aside from chronology and abrogation, is the mindless rants.

According to them, ‘this verse approves the killing of non-Muslims anywhere at any-time.’ This is simply not true. This passage has always been quoted out of context. They never post other verses 9:1-14, for if they did, people would find out that it says opposite of what they claim. Let’s read from 9:1 – 9:14,
9:1 [This is a declaration of] disassociation, from Allah and His Messenger, to those with whom you had made ”””””’a treaty among the polytheists”””””””.
9:3 And [it is] an announcement from Allah and His Messenger to the people on the day of the greater pilgrimage that Allah is disassociated from the disbelievers, and [so is] His Messenger. So if you repent, that is best for you; but if you turn away – then know that you will not cause failure to Allah . And give tidings to those ”””””who disbelieve of a painful punishment”””””””’.
9:4””””””” Excepted are those with whom you made a treaty among the polytheists”””””’ and then they have not been deficient toward you in anything or supported anyone against you; so complete for them their treaty until their term [has ended]. Indeed, Allah loves the righteous [who fear Him].
THE ABOVE VERSES CLEARLY SAYS THAT WAR ORDERED THE PEOPLE (NON MUSLIM ) WHO BROKEN THE PEACE AGREEMENT WITH MUSLIM ,SPREADING VIOLENCE THROUGH THE STATE,THEY ARE NOT INNOCENTS PEOPLE ,ISLAM EVER/NEVER ORDERED TO KILLING INNOCENT PEOPLE ……………..
“God forbids you not, with regard to those who fight you
not for (your) faith nor drive you out of your homes, from dealing
kindly and justly with them: for God loveth those who are just.”
(H.Q. 60:8)
“God only forbids you, with regard to those who fight you
for (your) faith, and drive you out of your homes, and support
(others) in driving you out, from turning to them (for friendship
and protection). It is such as turn to them (in these circumst
ances), that do wrong.” (H.Q. 60:9)
STAND WITH JUSTICE/TRUTH
72:14. And among us are Muslims and among
us are the unjust. And whoever has become Muslim –
those have sought out the right course.
15. But as for the unjust, they will be, for Hell, firewood.’
29: 68. And who does more wrong than he who invents a lie against Allâh or denies the truth (Muhammad SAW and his doctrine of Islâmic Monotheism and this Qur’ân), when it comes to him? Is there not a dwelling in Hell for disbelievers (in the Oneness of Allâh and in His Messenger Muhammad SAW)?

Hey, Sham. How about the non-muslim people murdered at the airport in Brussels or the concert hall in Paris? Were they “innocent?” Who gets to decide?

Firstly, the moronic sham does not appear to realize that this article was written by Hugh Fitzgerald, not Robert Spencer.
Moreover, Qur’an 9:5 is a direct quote from the Islamic “holy book” itself–how can a Muslim consider it “a lie”? This is what all pious Muslims–including sham–believe.
More:
I AM VERY PITY OF HIM,ABOUT HIS WEAKNESS HANGING WEAK CLAIMS FOR CRITICIZING MY ALLHA (sic) RELIGION ISLAM , HIS DREAM EVER GOING TO HAPPENS,HE DIGGING HIS OWN ETERNAL DOOM,ISLAM PURE FROM ALL THESE VULGARITY,I DON’T BELIEVE HOW CAN THESE BRAIN DEAD PPL (sic) ENCOURAGE /SUPPORT THESES WEAK/FOOLISH CLAIMS? DID THEY ATE ANIMAL DUNGS?
………………………………..
Yes–sham has found us out–we don’t relish being murdered by Mohammedans.
As he sees it, that must mean we “ate animal dungs (sic)”. If not, surely we would welcome being slaughtered.

HERE I AM REPEATING 10000 TIMES
………………………………..
And why? This all-caps rant made no more sense the first time.
More:
According to them, ‘this verse approves the killing of non-Muslims anywhere at any-time.’ This is simply not true. This passage has always been quoted out of context.
………………………………..
What Qur’an 9 posits is that it is lawful for Muslims to slaughter any Infidel who has not accepted Islam, either as a convert or a humiliated dhimmi.
If we are not living under the heel of Islam, we are regarded as being “at war” with Islam.
The whole non-Muslim world is designated “Dar-al-Harb”, or the “House of War”.
More:
STAND WITH JUSTICE/TRUTH
72:14. And among us are Muslims and among
us are the unjust. And whoever has become Muslim –
those have sought out the right course.
………………………………..
Telling–as Muslims see it, *any* non-Muslim is “unjust”, because he does not follow the vicious creed of Islam.
More:
15. But as for the unjust, they will be, for Hell, firewood.’
29: 68. And who does more wrong than he who invents a lie against Allâh or denies the truth (Muhammad SAW and his doctrine of Islâmic Monotheism and this Qur’ân), when it comes to him? Is there not a dwelling in Hell for disbelievers (in the Oneness of Allâh and in His Messenger Muhammad SAW)?
………………………………..
It’s not so much that Mohammedans consider us all hell bound; it is that they are happy to move us along to the afterlife in as violent a manner as possible.

All caps is just a typical ” shouting down”

Oh brother the “shamster” just won’t stop with his egregious lies …
Please it’s time to ban this ridiculous clown!
Jay Boo says
Champ
Yes, lies and proselytizing
Lucky for sham that he is heavily proselytizing chapter and verse for Islam.
If he put out that much spam about Christianity certain atheist commenters would be all over that.
Champ says
Indeed, Jay Boo, and the “sham” lies about Christianity, too. So, yes, he lies by attempting to put islam in a good light, and Christianity in a bad one. And he doesn’t just lie, but he’s a *grotesque* liar.
Dacritic says
“In the same way, those few political candidates who have been warning publicly about Islam would be more effective by quoting from, and drawing attention to, the actual wording of Qur’anic texts. Imagine, for example, that instead of saying “I think Islam hates us” without more, Donald Trump had said: “Based on my reading of the Qur’an I don’t think it unreasonable to conclude that Islam inculcates hatred of non-Muslims. Let’s all start by looking at 9:5 and 9:29.” The difference in effect would be considerable. It is certainly not his wonted tone, but he can surely put that tone on for the occasion, playing the sudden scholar of Islam for the greater good. Then, to answer him, Muslim defenders would be stuck to the tar-baby of those impossible-to-explain-away verses from the Qur’an, and forced to discuss them. And the whole galere of their willing media collaborators – The New York Times, The Huffington Post, CNN, NPR, the BBC — would be forced to do the same, in reporting on this guerilla war of counter-posters. “And,” continues this revised edition of Trump (or, of course, of other candidates – Cruz? — who show a willingness to take Islam’s measure), “I’d like to learn more about Muhammad’s marriage to little Aisha, and about what happened to Asma bint Marwan and Abu ‘Afak.” All in a disingenuous spirit of Youth-Wants-To-Know. Once these names are put out there, they can’t be unremembered, their stories cannot be ignored, as defenders of Islam would much prefer. But by then it would be too late. Imagine a world where Muslims are forced to discuss not the abstract “Islam,” but the “Jihad verses” of the Qur’an and the marriage-and-murder record of Muhammmad the Perfect Man, as set out in the Sira and Hadith.”
Here is what I sent to the Donald’s party regarding this.
“Dear Mr Trump (or whoever who is reading these emails on your behalf),
The Left is making you a bigger and bigger target everyday. You have been called a bigot, and a violator of civil rights. I believe it is because you said this, “We need to temporarily stop Muslim immigration to the US until we figure out what is going on.”
And then you said this, “I think Islam hates us.”
Mr Trump, from the time you said “…until we figure out what is going on” until now, have you managed to figure out what is going on? I have a sneaky suspicion that you have, because otherwise you wouldn’t have “thought” Islam hates us.
And since we’re on this, let me say something very upfront. You…think Islam hates us? Think?
No Mr Trump. You don’t “think”. Islam does hate us. Islam hates the Jews and the Christians (Q98:6, Q9:29). Every single day, five times, when a Muslim prays he recites the al-Fatihah, condemning those who have earned Allah’s wrath (the Jews) and those who have been led astray (the Christians). They are told to strike the necks of those who “disbelieve” (Q47:4, Q8:12) and those who kill and are killed in Allah’s cause are promised Paradise (Q9:111). Muhammad himself walked these commands out when he slaughtered 900 Jews in one afternoon in front of his child bride.
Mr Trump, don’t “think” any more. Don’t “figure out what is going on” any more. The Left already thinks you’re a pariah, so if you are already walking on thin ice, you might as well dance.
Read the Quran and then quote it! Read the Hadith and the Sira and quote them! These are their sources. If you’re too thin on time, get a Christian apologist to help you out. If you continue to “think” and “figure”, you are no better than the defenders of Islam (Muslims or otherwise) who throw rotten eggs at you and demand your apology when you say Islam hates us. You’ve got to add some serious weight to your words! Substantiate it. If you don’t, you are no better and are just as ambiguous as the Muslims who disagree with you.
You have the opportunity of opportunities to make this go viral and since you’re already walking down this path and being hated for it, I suggest you sprint. Prove to the people of America and the world you are only telling facts as it is. It would send the cockroaches hiding in the dark that is Islam scurrying out into the light. If anything, it would at least be interesting to see how the Muslims would respond to your quotes. Don’t worry, America has got the best debaters against Islam in the world and they will help you out.
It is time to hit, and hit them them hard where it hurts the most.”
I’m not sure he heard me, but I hope he did.

I think it was a good letter. I hope he DOES hear what you said.
jim Archambault says
Very well written and to the point.
dumbledoresarmy says
Well said, mate.
Other American jihadwatchers here present need to do the same, QUICKLY.
Keep it brief. Short, sharp and to the point. Cite some of those deadly Surahs, some of those Hadiths, a bit of the Sira of Ibn Ishaq. Give Mr Trump some ammo and tell him and his staffers where they can go to get more… LOTS MORE.
Suggest Mr Robert Spencer’s “The Complete Infidel’s Guide to the Koran” and “The Politically Incorrect Guide to Islam and the Crusades”; also mention Sam Solomon, ex-Muslim, author of “The Mosque and Its Role in Society” and “Al-Hijra: The Islamic Doctrine of Immigration”, and Australian scholar Rev Dr Mark Durie, author of “The Third Choice: Islam, Dhimmitude and Freedom” and Coptic-American scholar Raymond Ibrahim, who has written extensively on Islamic modes of deception, as persons that Trump and his team would do well to consult, in addition to the very erudite gentleman, one Walid Phares, whom Trump has already identified as an adviser on the subject of Islam.
Chuck says
Here’s another idea: The Counter Jihad Coalition has PDFs you can download and print as hand-out (or leave-somewhere) fliers. You print them on 8.5″ x 11″ paper (both sides) that you then fold in thirds. http://counterjihadcoalition.org/brochures/

THANKS Chuck! It is just what I have been looking for! Woohoo!
citycat says
Yes, very true, but i can’t do it.
Reading the Qur’an makes me feel ill. Not only that but also it’s vibe is sick yellow, and i can’t have it in the home, and i have to burn it.
