“We also witnessed the dark forces of human nature. Fear and anger. Resentment and violence against Muslim-Americans — true and faithful followers of a peaceful religion.”
There is no justification whatsoever under any circumstances for violence against innocent Muslims, or any innocent people. But this idea that Islam is a “peaceful religion” is nothing more than a dogma of the Leftist faith. It has no basis in reality.
Islam is not actually a religion of peace, and it is not a matter of bigotry or hatred to point this out. Are the authoritative schools of Sunni jurisprudence “Islamophobic”?
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).
Of course, there is no caliph today, and hence the oft-repeated claim that Osama et al are waging jihad illegitimately, as no state authority has authorized their jihad. But they explain their actions in terms of defensive jihad, which needs no state authority to call it, and becomes “obligatory for everyone” (‘Umdat al-Salik, o9.3) if a Muslim land is attacked. The end of the defensive jihad, however, is not peaceful coexistence with non-Muslims as equals: ‘Umdat al-Salik specifies that the warfare against non-Muslims must continue until “the final descent of Jesus.” After that, “nothing but Islam will be accepted from them, for taking the poll tax is only effective until Jesus’ descent” (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.
“Joe Biden Marks 20th Anniversary of 9/11 Criticizing ‘Dark Forces’ in America Against ‘Peaceful Religion’ of Islam,” by Charlie Spiering, Breitbart, September 10, 2021:
President Joe Biden marked the 20th anniversary of the 9/11 terrorist attacks by criticizing Americans for the anti-Muslim anger that occurred in the United States after the attacks took place.
“We also witnessed the dark forces of human nature. Fear and anger. Resentment and violence against Muslim-Americans — true and faithful followers of a peaceful religion,” Biden said in a prerecorded video published for the occasion.
The president said that the principle of “unity” in the country was endangered by the attacks but ultimately prevailed.
“We also saw something all too rare, a true sense of national unity,” he recalled. “Unity and resilience – the capacity to recover and repair in the face of trauma, unity in service.”
Biden released his pre-recorded video, as the White House confirmed Friday he had no plans to address the nation on the 20th anniversary of the attacks.
He began by recalling a friend of his who lost their son in the attacks in New York City and sympathized with the families who lost loved ones in the attacks….

DO MUSLIM SCHOLARS CLAIM ISLAM IS A RELIGION OF PEACE ?? NO !
MUSLIMS LEADING SCHOLARS SAY THAT ISLAM IS *NOT* A RELIGION PEACE .
– Mohammed says the ‘original’, essential Islam is jihad … Islam is sacred warfare against non-Muslims.
-“Narrated Abdullah ibn Umar: I heard the Apostle of Allah say: When you enter into the inah transaction (become businessmen), hold the tails of oxen (become cattlemen), are pleased with agriculture (become farmers), and give up conducting JIHAD, Allah will make disgrace prevail over you, and will not withdraw it until you return to your ORIGINAL RELIGION.” – Sunan Abu Dawud Book 23, Number 3455
-“Killing the infidels is our religion, slaughtering them is our religion, until they convert to Islam or pay us tribute.” — Abu Musab al-Zarqawi, 2005
-“Maulana Mufti Khabeebur Rehman Qazi, preacher in the Department of Preaching of Pakistani jihadi organization Jaish-e-Muhammad (JeM), addressed a series of religious gatherings in the city of Sahiwal in Pakistan’s Punjab province…” “Allah has ordered Muslims to take up weapons and has ordered the use of weapons against unbelievers. However, only that Muslim whose heart has the strength of faith can raise a weapon against an unbeliever … The sword is raised due to the strength of faith. Our Prophet [Muhammad] has taught us that the sword should be raised against kafirs, for the defense of Muslims, for the defense of our religion, and for the enforcement of the religion of Islam on this earth. All praise be to Allah, the mujahideen are fully performing this duty.”
(Source: ‘Allah Has Ordered Muslims To Take Up Weapons And Has Ordered The Use Of Weapons Against Unbelievers,’” MEMRI, March 12, 2019)
-“Those who know nothing of Islam pretend that Islam counsels against war. Those [who say this] are witless. Islam says: Kill all the unbelievers just as they would kill you all! Does this mean that Muslims should sit back until they are devoured by [the unbelievers]? Islam says: Kill them, put them to the sword and scatter [their armies]….Islam says: Whatever good there is exists thanks to the sword and in the shadow of the sword! People cannot be made obedient except with the sword! The sword is the key to Paradise, which can be opened only for the Holy Warriors! There are hundreds of other ayahs and hadiths urging Muslims to value war and to fight. Does all this mean that Islam is a religion that prevents men from waging war? I spit upon those foolish souls who make such a claim.” – Ayatollah Khomeini

Spot on. Muslims never call Islam a religion of peace when speaking to other Muslims. This is just Taqiyya for the credulous Infidels like Biden.
Robert_k says
Biden is a dimwit Dhimmi. “Islam Is a peaceful religion”. Tell it to the Afghans you pull the rug from under in Afghanistan, or to the families of the slaughtered Marines I n Afghanistan.
mortimer says
Agree. Biden’s naïve, clueless statements are totally preposterous. He has created a HELL ON EARTH for the Afghans after all the years NATO fought for their freedom.
Biden has submitted to Islamic propaganda, even after the Taliban has seized Afghanistan and $85 billion in advanced military equipment.
Is the Taliban ISLAMIC ? Yes, definitely. Is Islam ‘peaceful’ … NO! The Taliban is HIGHLY ISLAMIC and it is *NOT* peaceful.
David says
This is why Islam is called the ‘religion of peace’: Peace is when all resistance to Islam is ended. However, notice the subtle difference: it is NOT a peaceful religion.
I notice the number of terror attacks has recently exceeded 40,000. Each one futile, and has achieved nothing positive whatsoever. Well, maybe it is showing the World what a disgusting religion Islam really is. Most of the World does not seem to care: Nothing to do with muslims, so they are led to believe.
mortimer says
The ‘challenge’ of Mohammed’s jihadists to resisters was:
‘ASLEEM, TASLAM!’ (Be pacified under us, and you will have peace.)
A better translation for ‘Islam’ is ‘pacification’.
‘Pacification’ removes the right of the conquered to resist tyrannical authority.
mortimer says
American Muslims had no blame for the 9-11 attacks, but certainly many of them initially were DELIGHTED by the ability of Arabs to infiltrate the US system and carry out successful attacks on Wall Street and the Pentagon.
The third airplane which was supposed to hit Congress or the White House was thwarted by intrepid COUNTER-JIHADISTS who swiftly organized a counter-attack on the airplane.
Sleepy Joe is a DHIMMI … he has surrendered to Islamic propaganda. He has learned nothing from his years of daily briefings about jihadism. He is CLUELESS.
Mike says
when Muslims in the US and around the world start to turn in there own that are the radical nothing will change
O I’m bad Sharia Law forbids Muslims to say anything bad against each other
the people promote the very hate
Islamophobia is of there own making
Islam is the religion of Hate
PRCS says
Democracy (a system of government by the whole population or all the eligible members of a state, typically through elected representatives}
Theocracy (a system of government in which priests rule in the name of God or a god}
Two methods of governance.
Islam is a theocracy, making it both antithetical to and incompatible with the U.S. Constitution.

It is unacceptable after the last 20 years of CONSTANT JIHADISM throughout the world … Afghanistan, Philippines, Iraq, Syria, Israel, Egypt, India, Nigeria, Congo, Burma, Bangladesh … for any politician to CONTINUE to lie about JIHADISM.
It is the most preposterous claim on earth to insist that Islam is either benign or ‘peaceful’.
The 164 jihad verses in the Koran are not ‘PEACEFUL’ … they are ‘WARLIKE’.
The Koran’s 164 Jihad Verses: K 2:178-179, 190-191, 193-194, 216-218, 244; 3:121-126, 140-143, 146, 152-158, 165-167,169, 172-173, 195; 4:71-72, 74-077, 84, 89-91, 94-95,100-104; 5:33, 35, 82; 8:1, 5, 7, 9-10, 12, 15-17, 39-48, 57-60, 65-75; 9:5, 12-14, 16, 19-20, 24-26, 29, 36, 38-39, 41, 44, 52, 73, 81, 83, 86, 88, 92, 111, 120, 122-123; 16:110; 22:39, 58, 78; 24:53, 55; 25:52; 29:6, 69; 33:15, 18, 20, 23, 25-27, 50; 42:39; 47:4, 20, 35; 48:15-24; 49:15; 59:2, 5-8, 14; 60:9; 61:4, 11, 13; 63:4; 64:14; 66:9; 73:20; 76:8.

I think Biden and Bush should get together and determine what narrative they wanna peddle. Bush praised us all for ‘reject prejudice and embrace people of the Muslim faith’. At this point in history, Bush and Biden are on the same side, and not divided by party loyalties, so which is it?
mortimer says
Their narrative … though 3,000 Americans were killed by the 9-11 attackers … the Muslim are the REAL VICTIMS through prejudice.
Well, if the Muslims disagreed so much with 9-11, they would have held MASSIVE RALLIES of their own.
Muslims in the US are too busy complaining about ‘Islamophobia’ … and micro-aggressions from people who make challenging remarks about jihad or question the loyalty of Muslims to the US constitution … valid concerns even if poorly worded. US Muslims generally couldn’t care less if other Muslims around the world are committing atrocities in the name of Islam. US Muslims feel ‘someone else’ should criticize the jihadists. They won’t do it.
Raja says
This POTUS is total disgrace. On this occasion, he has chosen to rub the entire mankind in the wrong way, not just US.
To shove the narrative “peaceful” islam under our throats is treacherous, that he is ignorant of islam’s overreaching tentacles on every human (whether through propaganda or through social media or through tech giants is immaterial. Though he is dumb, he cannot be excused of the statement: islam is “peaceful”.
David says
Spot the difference: 1:The ‘religion of peace’…2: A ‘peaceful religion’
The first one means: Peace is when all resistance to Islam is ended. The second one clearly does not apply to islam.
mortimer says
Inept, habitual liar, Sleepy Joe is INSULTING our INTELLIGENCE when he says Islam is peaceful and benign. Islam and JIHAD are actually one and the same.
PMK says
He’s not the first ignorant POTUS and he won’t be the last. The man who addressed Congress just ten days after 9/11 had numerous inaccuracies in his speech.
He said: The terrorists practice a fringe form of Islamic extremism that has been rejected by Muslim scholars and the vast majority of Muslim clerics; a fringe movement that perverts the peaceful teachings of Islam
He effectively declared the GWOT a lost cause with these words:
I also want to speak tonight directly to Muslims throughout the world. We respect your faith. It’s practiced freely by many millions of Americans and by millions more in countries that America counts as friends. Its teachings are good and peaceful, and those who commit evil in the name of Allah blaspheme the name of Allah.
Clinton, Bush, Obama and now Biden.
Clinton let the hijackers in and did his best to destroy John O’Neill, who tried to warn us of the threat posed by Islam. The man ultimately took a job in WTC, where he died on 9/11. In the early weeks of Clinton’s presidency, the WTC was bombed by Muslim immigrants who objected to our troops being in Saudi Arabia. He put them on trial in a criminal court. I believe it was at that trial that the specifics of how the towers were constructed were revealed, giving Osama and company more information on how to destroy them. He ignored the reports of Middle Easterners attending flight schools in the US. Our embassies were bombed. The USS Cole was attacked. Clinton did nothing. Bush let Osama’s family flee to Saudi Arabia after the attacks. Obama traded Gitmo detainees for Bowe Bergdahl, a deserter. Biden is just the latest leader who is determined not to let America defend itself.
Joeyn says
What a despicable compulsive liar. Only idiots like him resent and despise Muslims and as a result do not want them to wake to the fact that their minds have been possessed by an evil ideology called Islam. Because if Muslims did wake up to this fact then they would realize that there is a way out of this bondage to a more liberated and fulfilling life. Something which the bufoon Biden knows nothing about.
David says
Afghanis had a taste of 20 years of relative freedom. Now sadly gone. I know which most would prefer. Well the women at least.
Joeyn says
I agree with RS that Americans should have got out of Afghanistan much sooner but not in the way the bufoon Biden did it.
mortimer says
Bufoon Biden surrendered an entire democratic country to the backwards Taliban and enriched them with $85 billion of advanced military equipment.
He should be in jail for GROSS NEGLIGENCE.

I used to merely think that Biden was one of the dimmest bulbs in the Senate. Since then I have come to realize that he is not only an ignoramus, but also loathsome and corrupt. Ordinarily I would sympathize with a person who has dementia, which Biden clearly does, but not with this bastard. He really is a loathsome human being.
mortimer says
Not only ‘corrupt’, but criminally negligent. If I had through my negligence caused the collapse of a building or a factory involving loss of life, I would be tried and convicted and sentenced to 20 years.
However, Biden caused the collapse of an entire country with the concomitant destruction of thousands of lives that will occur under the Taliban.
This evil, negligent, pompous man goes unpunished! It would be just for him to be imprisoned.
The US forces and NATO will have to return to fight for the same real estate a second time, because the Taliban WILL REPEAT what it did before.
Wellington says
“…but criminally negligent.”
No argument here, mortimer.
James Lincoln says
Wellington,
100% correct.
Biden has always been a dim bulb, but he has evolved:
He is now a fraudulently elected / demented / sociopathic / fake POTUS.
As Robert Spencer would say, what could possibly go wrong?

Wellington, I think you mean: ‘ I used to merely think that Biden was one of the dhimmist bulbs in the Senate’.

Nice adjustment, David.

“True”?….No. There is not one bit of what these satan-worshippers are taught that is true. And they are taught to lie and lie until the cows come home…and then lie and lie even after.
“Faithful?”….They don’t have “faith,” so they cannot be “faithful.” Faith is a deep belief in something one knows for a certainty is true, but cannot literally see, and a willingness to wait for things that one is not authorized with power to do.
mozlums can be said to be loyal to their demon god and his fake prophet. But not “true and faithful.” They carry out the serpent’s desires….all of which involve others suffering and dying. They have an urgent need to do what they claim is the “will” of their “god.” Things that, if he truly was a ‘god,’ he would be doing, not waiting for humans to do his bidding.
islam is evil, through and through and they will never have peace.

He said that there was a danger that these people might do on trains what they had done with the planes.
Just for a moment, he was being truthful. Of course, self-interest was the reason for the truth.

In order to understand just arrogant ‘Ole Joe is:
WHEN JOE MET AYAAN
Ayaan Hirsi Ali recalls a conversation with the current US vice president:
He informed her that “ISIS had nothing to do with Islam.” When she disagreed with him, Biden actually responded: “Let me tell you one or two things about Islam.” “I politely left the conversation at that,” Hirsi Ali said, to laughter. “I wasn’t used to arguing with vice presidents.”
That’s all right. After five years, Joe Biden still isn’t used to being one. Hirsi Ali, as readers will be aware, was raised as a Muslim in Somalia, endured genital mutilation and fled when her family tried to force her into an arranged marriage. She knows a little bit about Islam.

Koran 9:29 commands that Muslims fight all Infidels until everyone in the world submits to Islam either through becoming a Muslim or by paying the Jizya to those who are Muslims. The only other option for not submitting to Islam is to die at the hands of Muslims. Any Muslim who does not obey the command to fight to force submission or to kill those who refuse to submit is counted by Allah as being among the hypocrites – so a large number of Muslims are hypocrites and not true and faithful Muslims. Joe Biden is a lying SOB. Islam is about fighting to make everyone submit to Islam. The word Islam itself means submission – not peace. Every time that Joe Biden opens his mouth another lie can’t keep from flying out. He can go pound sand in Hell.
Jim says
Biden and Obama want to believe in the new world Order. This can only be real if Islam is a peaceful religion, so they cling to the idea that Islam is a religion of peace, like Bush did and like all adherents of the new world order.
