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

Muslims are the biggest threat to Muslims, contrary to Obama and Islamophobia narrative

Aug 24, 2016 2:35 pm By Christine Douglass-Williams

In September 2014, Obama stated that “ISIL is not ‘Islamic.’ No religion condones the killing of innocents. And the vast majority of ISIL’s victims have been Muslim.”

That statement is as ludicrous, as Muslims killing Muslims is a longstanding practice. Published in an article by the Asian Image, a news site for British Muslims and Hindus:

“So, whilst we may well moan of Islamophobia, let’s face it, the biggest threat to Muslims are in fact other Muslims.” Glasgow shopkeeper Asad Shah was murdered for “disrespecting Islam” and then there was the killing of a Rochdale Muslim leader by fellow Muslims for “practicing black magic”.

If Muslims are to be concerned about being victimized, they need to look in their own backyard, as Muslim-on-Muslim attacks are a much bigger threat to Muslims than the invented term “Islamophobia.”  Some Muslims just don’t think other Muslims are Muslim enough, so they kill them and/or marginalize them:

“As a Muslim you are more likely to be abused for your belief by another Muslim on social media than you are from a non-Muslim.”

The fact is that Muslims are killing Muslims in droves, but Israel and Westerners get condemned. Since 1948, over 10 million Muslims have been killed by Muslims. The propaganda about “Islamophobia” is glaring, and is clearly an agenda-driven tool to subjugate Westerners into dhimmitude.

obama on ISIL and Muslim killings

“Muslim on Muslim hatred is far more of a problem than hatred against non-Muslims”, Asian Image, by Amjad Malik, August 23, 2016:

The idea that one deserves to die for blasphemy is something that has been common in Muslim culture for many years.

Recently, Tanveer Ahmed was sentenced for the brutal murder of Asad Shah. The case heard that Ahmed was incensed over the beliefs held by Mr Shah. He then travelled to Glasgow to brutally murder the family man and shopkeeper.

What was shocking was he held no remorse for the killing.

This belief that one will be rewarded in the afterlife for upholding the name of Islam in this way is clearly a major issue within the Muslim community not only here but worldwide.

Individuals are being taught that blasphemy should be punishable by death. Speaking up against such incidents is the job of all the imams and religious leaders in this country. But you are unlikely to hear clear condemnations.

To condemn this is to some way suggest that you agree with the opposing view.

Which isn’t the case at all but you will find most Muslims will not publicly speak up about blasphemy in case they themselves get drawn into the argument. It is an argument you are unlikely to win.

In this case Ahmed clearly did not feel that Mr Shah had the right to follow his own beliefs.

Sadly, I have spoken to many people who do agree with that.

You have Imams and religious leaders who will publicly talk of Islam being a religion of peace but privately condone the killing of individuals who are deemed to have blasphemed. Even if the case is unclear we will condemn them.

What is just as worrying is that in the UK we now have groups and individuals who are have learnt the benefit of keeping quiet on particular issues.

This is not just a Muslim problem though as all religions have similar questions to answer.

As a Muslim you are more likely to be abused for your belief by another Muslim on social media than you are from a non-Muslim. This can be anything from Eid celebrations to simply commemorating the Prophet’s birthday.

One only has to view the opinions of the next generation of ‘Islamic experts’ on social media who will spend hours and days encouraging their army of followers to spread this narrative.

This is not just a male thing either. It is clear that women are as equally prone to this idea that they must abuse others who do not follow the ‘correct path.’ We Muslims have become obsessed with pointing out minor differences and the belief prevails that one is more superior than the next person because one follows a different school of thought.

And whilst we may well like to highlight the rampant Islamophobia, you are unlikely to say anything of the religious schools of thought and organisations that clearly are teaching young children that they are inherently better Muslims than others in their own community…

…We have groups and schools who receive public money and are following set beliefs that hammer home the message that one is more of a Muslim because one follows a particular Islamic theology.

These are not extremists. Publicly not anyway.

So, whilst we may well moan of Islamophobia, let’s face it, the biggest threat to Muslims are in fact other Muslims…

    THIS IS AN EXCELLENT TIME TO RECOMMEND, FOR THOSE WHO HAVE NOT SEEN IT, “OBAMA THE MUSLIM — IN HIS OWN WORDS”

    Easily found on YouTube but be sure you watch the full video running about 9:40 or so — there are some shorter edits — be careful.

    Muslims are the biggest threat to humanity and us . Period. I don’t care if they the biggest threat to Muslims themselves. What else will one expect from this murderous cult. They have to kill somebody to please Mo/allah.

    No religion condones killing, etc. etc. That excludes Islam, which is a cult that nurtures psychopaths It is not a religion.

      I’ve begun referring to it in the past few months as “an ideology.” The term “ideology” doesn’t get people’s backs up as quickly as “cult” does; this may give you a chance to sneak in a few facts about Islam before your hearer walks away, screams vituperative insults at you, or (heaven forbid) decides on direct physical assault.

      Yep: Islam is “an ideology.”

      • heidi says

        Aug 25, 2016 at 3:21 am

        exactly right, everyone needs to refer to this as what it is: an oppressive, totalitarian ideology violently enforced w/sharia law

      Islam does not condone killing innocents;but by definition,only devout muslims are considered ‘innocent’.We others are ‘guilty’ of refusing the way of allah.
      Is Obama so ignorant or is he using ‘taqiya’?

    >”What was shocking was he held no remorse for the killing.”<

    Ha, ha,.when do Muslims have any remorse for killing and murdering. If they had any conscience or soul they wouldn't be doing what they do so dutifully as a command from Mo/allah.

    The civilized world must clearly and unambiguously understand one thing – there are no moderate muslims. A moderate muslim is not considered “a muslim” under islamic laws, and therefore, is marked wajib ul qatal. The islamic pecking order will always have a radical, sword-waiving, allah-o-akbaring, mass murdering islamist at the top. he is the true (and only) muslim. All other muslims will fall in line one day.

    Please, do not be under any misconception or be swayed by what the so-called moderate muslims and libertards tell you.

    Islam is a religion of beauty and peace. Terrorist who claim that they are Muslims are in fact not. They justify their actions under the Quran when in fact the book and it’s followers themselves don’t accept that. All this page does is promote hatred. Your supposed to bring religions together. No matter who they are we are all part of one race the human race. We must not wish revenge onto others who are not involved in the radical Islam. One thing that you guys aren’t obviously aware of is there is a difference between radical Islam and Islam.

    • CogitoErgoSum says

      Aug 24, 2016 at 7:13 pm

      Paul, Quran 9:29. Is that the method you have in mind for bringing all religions together?

      Is bringing all religions together what Muhammad had in mind when he smashed all the idols at the Kaaba? Oh yes, that was a wonderful display of tolerance and understanding of another person’s religion, was it not? Truly an example for all of us to follow in this brave new multi-cultural world, eh? Smack, bang, boom you filthy idol worshipers! Allahu akbar! My god is greater than yours! Muhammad sends beauty and peace (on Allah’s terms) to all! Allahu akbar (again).

      Paul Simon: Turkey’s kingpin, Erdogan, who is working hard to take Turkey back to the days before Ataturk, says that “Islam is Islam.” Yes, just as Christianity is Christianity. Yes, there are Muslims who are faithful to the Qur’an and will kill the apostate and infidel and some won’t do it. So also there are Christians who are faithful to God’s Word and will help you and protect you from your enemy and some are weak and won’t bother. Jesus knew that we are of one human race, as you say; we all know that. But, still, we must realize that there is truth and falsehoods. The human being that rejects Jesus to be the Saviour from our sins will be forever separated from God. And his fellow human being that trusts in Jesus for his salvation goes to heaven. And they’re both human beings. Paul Simon it’s nice that you want peace and love and good will and tolerance, and all that nice stuff, but God bless you to do some better thinking than you show in your paragraph.

    ” No religion condones the killing of innocents.

    One insists on killing the guilty…If you don’t know who the guilty are, let me spell it out for you…KUFFAR…sometimes spelled TAKFIR…after all, they don’t deserve to live…

    Islamophobia ???

    How about the outrageous levels of Infidelphobia on the part of Muslims? That is, hatred against anyone not Muslim.

    It is Muslims who, in following the instructions* of the holy books, are practicing hate and discrimination.

    *Examples (and many more could be cited),

    Sura 5, 51 – O you who believe [common descriptor of Muslims]! Take not the Jews and the Christians as Auliya’ (friends, protectors, helpers), they are but Auliya’ of each other. And if any amongst you takes them as Auliya’, then surely, he is one of them. Verily, Allah guides not those people who are the Zalimun (polytheists and wrongdoers and unjust).

    Sura 9,29 – Fight those who do not believe in Allah or in the Last Day and who do not consider unlawful what Allah and His Messenger have made unlawful and who do not adopt the religion of truth from those who were given the Scripture – [fight] until they give the jizyah [a tax imposed only on the non-Muslim] willingly while they are humbled [meaning taking on dhimmi status].

    —–

    Over the years Robert has had any number of posts listing out the many, many Quran passages divinely sanctioning the belittlement or the murder of non-Muslims.

  10. Angemon says

    The world we live in:

    A muslim who commits violence and justifies it with islamic orthodoxy is widely considered as someone who twisted islam – i.e., not a muslim. Except, of course, by devout muslims who are familiar with islamic texts and history. Muslims who don’t commit violence, whether because they don’t know their religion well enough, willingly ignore it or prefer to wage stealth jihad, are widely regarded as muslims. Except, of course, by devout muslims who are familiar with islamic texts and history.

    When a muslim attacks another muslim is usually because they perceive their victim to be not muslim enough. So muslim-on-muslim violence consists on people professing to be, while not actually being (since they are committing violence and justifying it with islam), muslims attacking people they claim are not, but in fact are (since they are not the ones initiating the use of force), muslims. Muslims, who are in fact non-muslims, attacking non-muslims, who are in fact muslims. Ergo, muslim-on-muslim violence is merely “islamophobia”.

    Seems unacceptable allowing the same destructive force destroying islamic countries into a country.

  12. No Fear says

    Aug 24, 2016 at 5:38 pm

    Muslims only kill those muslims who are deemed to be not muslim enough. i.e. they only kill non-muslims.

    Who are the innocents? Certainly this does not include infidels, (non -believers) Christians LGBT persons apostates, Obama often quotes incompletely and it works for the agenda, because he knows most people are very unfamiliar with the “peaceful religion” and the commands ….that every terrorist group knows but some judges don’t.

  14. gravenimage says

    Aug 24, 2016 at 10:36 pm

    Muslims are the biggest threat to Muslims, contrary to Obama and Islamophobia narrative
    …………………….

    Islam even has a tenet for Muslims declaring other Muslims essentially Infidels and hence fair game just as unbelievers are: Takfir. Any Muslims declared “Takfiri” can be murdered. We see this everyday with Muslims.

  15. Guest says

    Aug 25, 2016 at 3:03 am

    The Aztec religion demanded sacrifice for rain. Obama doesn’t know what he’s saying when he says there are no religions that demand murder.

    Whenever you see such statemens just look hard and you almost certainly will find the word “innocent”. It pretty much depends on the definition of “innocent”. Similarly a muslim might always make the claim that no death sentences is passed without being sanctioned by law. See, throwing gays from rootops is as much legally (sharia) sanctioned as the racial persecution of Jews under the Nazis. The awarness that “law abiding” doesn’t make you a morall integer person isn’t widespread.

    Ever heard the claim that “islam has given rights to women” ? Just ask to what extend those rights have improved the life of christian and jewish women under islam. Ask specifically. The thing with giving rights is that it always sounds like an improvement, no further questions asked. To that I say that in the West we have given rights to animals, which will end up as burgers and steaks nevertheless.

    It isn’t worth a broken fingernail to host a muslim population in an infidel nation, let alone the needless deaths and the heartache. Who cares if they’re killing each other? Not one of us should be harmed to satisfy some liberal social agenda.

    ”This is not just a Muslim problem though as all religions have similar questions to answer.”

    What **utter** crap, and absolutely typical of mohammedan lying and bullshit. What other religion has the death penalty for apostasy ? **None**.What other religion demands the death of anyone who refuses to accept it ? **None**.

    Only islam. This pernicious creep is trying to imply that other, decent religions, hold to the same foul tenets as islam. What vicious **CRAP**.
