International Judge Muhammad Day: Update

International Judge Muhammad Day: Update Since my original post involving International Judge Muhammad Day, new information has been discovered.  The event has a Facebook page, which informs us that the great day of judgment will be September 11, 2012, with the trial to take place in Gainesville, Fl. from 5 to 8 p.m.  It also has a promotional video, which is embedded below. 

    In anticipation of the possibility that political, legal and or financial attacks in the intervening months will cause cancellation of the event, I have paraphrased the questions propounded by Rev. Terry Jones in the promotional video and will answer them below. 

Was Muhammad a Prophet?

mercenary motivation

    Moe was a profiteer, not a Prophet.  While he claimed to be a 'warner' bringing Allah's 'guidance' for mankind, his true motivation was mercenary, as revealed with great clarity in Surah Al-Anfal. 

    Moe settled a dispute over spoils by claiming them for himself. Can an impotent idol use and enjoy captured camels, armor and women?  But Moe could, and did.  Don't go away, there is more; Moe distributed spoils among his companions who fought, but took the top 20% for himself.

  • And know that whatever of war-booty that you may gain, verily one-fifth (1/5th) of it is assigned to Allâh, and to the Messenger, and to the near relatives [of the Messenger (Muhammad )], (and also) the orphans, Al-Masâkin (the poor) and the wayfarer,...

    Other verses such as 48:15,19,20 &21 promise spoils to be captured, but 8:67 explicitly reveals Moe's prime motivating factor. I have quoted the entire ayeh, highlighting the crucial phrase, because this ayeh makes several important points bearing on other questions.

  • It is not for a Prophet that he should have prisoners of war (and free them with ransom) until he had made a great slaughter (among his enemies) in the land. You desire the good of this world (i.e. the money of ransom for freeing the captives), but Allâh desires (for you) the Hereafter. And Allâh is All-Mighty, All-Wise. 

What did we learn from 8:67?

  • Waging war is one of the missions of Prophets.
  • Great slaughter is a prerequisite for ransoming prisoners for profit.
  • Allah desires great slaughter.
  • Moe desired ransom money.

We learned that Islam is militant,  genocidal & mercenary; that loot was Moe's prime motivating factor. 

inspiration

    Moe's economic prime motivating factor is sufficient to prove my case, but I like to pile on the facts so as to make the obvious truth absolutely beyond dispute.  Far from being a Prophet, receiving divine dicta, Moe was a conniving hallucinator. Lets see how Moe received his 'inspiration'.

At times it comes to me like the ringing of a bell and that is most severe for me and when it is over I retain that (what I had received in the form of wahi), and at times an Angel in the form of a human being comes to me (and speaks) and I retain whatever he speaks.

'Ubida b. Samit reported that when wahi (inspiration) descended upon Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him), he felt a burden on that account and the colour of his face underwent a change.
Allah's Apostle replied, "Sometimes it is (revealed) like the ringing of a bell, this form of Inspiration is the hardest of all and then this state passes ' off after I have grasped what is inspired. Sometimes the Angel comes in the form of a man and talks to me and I grasp whatever he says." 'Aisha added: Verily I saw the Prophet being inspired Divinely on a very cold day and noticed the Sweat dropping from his forehead (as the Inspiration was over).
The commencement of the Divine Inspiration to Allah's Apostle was in the form of good dreams which came true like bright day light, and then the love of seclusion was bestowed upon him.

"Allah's Apostle used to bear the revelation with great trouble and used to move his lips (quickly) with the Inspiration."
He said (to the Holy Prophet): What do you command me to do during my Umra? (It was at this juncture) that the revelation came to the Apostle of Allah (way peace be upon him) and he was covered with a cloth, and Ya'la said: Would that I see revelation coming to the Apostle of Allah (may peace be upon him). He (Hadrat 'Umar) said: Would it please you to see the Apostle of Allah (may peace be upon him) receiving the revelations 'Umar lifted a corner of the cloth and I looked at him and he was emitting a sound of snorting. He (the narrator) said: I thought it was the sound of a camel.

Lets recap the highlights of 'inspiration'.

  • dreams
    • seclusion
  • ringing bell
  • angel speaking
  • change of color
  • sweating
  • lost consciousness
    • snorting
    • covered 

Moe received 'inspiration" in dreams and epileptic fits, which is obvious from the reports included in the two most authentic of the canonical hadith collections. 

revelation

    Many ahadith describe the circumstances of revelation, a few samples should suffice.  If not, use your favorite hadith search engine  to find this phrase, without the quotes: "was revealed".

When the Divine Inspiration: "Those of the believers who sit (at home), was revealed the Prophet sent for Zaid (bin Thabit) who came with a shoulder-blade and wrote on it. Ibn Um-Maktum complained about his blindness and on that the following revelation came: "Not equal are those believers who sit (at home) except those who are disabled (by injury, or are blind or lame etc.) and those who strive hard and fight in the Way of Allah with their wealth and lives)." (4.95)


That he heard Allah's Apostle, when raising his head from bowing of the first Rak'a of the morning prayer, saying, "O Allah! Curse so-and-so and so-and-so" after he had said, "Allah hears him who sends his praises to Him. Our Lord, all the Praises are for you!" So Allah revealed:-- "Not for you (O Muhammad! )......(till the end of Verse) they are indeed wrong-doers." (3.128) Salim bin 'Abdullah said' "Allah's Apostle used to invoke evil upon Safwan bin Umaiya, Suhail bin 'Amr and Al-Harith bin Hisham. So the Verse was revealed:-- "Not for you (O Muhammad!)......(till the end of Verse) For they are indeed wrong-doers." (3.128)

Zainab, Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) has sent (me) with a message to you. She said: I do not do anything until I solicit the will of my Lord. So she stood at her place of worship and the (verse of) the Qur'an (pertaining to her marriage) were revealed, and Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) came to her without permission.

It seems to me that your Lord hastens to satisfy your desire.

   
    We don't need to be Prophets to see what is plain and obvious on the face of the texts: Moe 'revealed' situational scripture.  Even his child bride was wise to him.  Thus it becomes clear to us that Moe was a profiteer, not a Prophet.

Was Muhammad a liar?

    The answer to the previous question makes this one obvious: situational scripture is a blasphemous lie against God.  Moe 'revealed' permission for his sexual proclivities and marital infidelities.

Islam:

Religion of :

    The question is misleading because it assumes that Islam is a religion.  In fact, Islam is a way of life having a faith & ritual component which serves as a social control mechanism, troop motivator and camouflage to prevent prospective victims from recognizing approaching danger.

war or Peace?

    War: Islam is jihad as made clear by a saying collected in Sunan Abu Dawud.

When you enter into the inah transaction, hold the tails of oxen, are pleased with agriculture, and give up conducting jihad (struggle in the way of Allah). Allah will make disgrace prevail over you, and will not withdraw it until you return to your original religion.

Allah will curse Muslims if they exchange agriculture or trade for jihad as a way of making a living.  Take a good, long look at the last highlighted clause in the last sentence of the hadith.  Let me make the analysis easy for you with an outline. 

  • abandon jihad
    • cursed with disgrace
  • until you return to your original religion. 

They left jihad; they return to their original religion: jihad is their original religion.  What is jihad?  For the legal definition, we turn to Reliance of the Traveller, the all purpose handbook of Shafi'ite fiqh aka.  Shari'ah.

(O: Jihad means to war against non-Muslims, and is etymologically derived from the word mujahada signifying warfare to establish the religion.

Jihad is war against non-Muslims. War is the religion of Muslims.  Examine the similar definition provided by the translators of the Noble Qur'an as a footnote to 2:190.

(V.2:190) Al-Jihâd (holy fighting) in Allâh’s Cause (with full force of numbers and weaponry) is given the utmost importance in Islâm and is one of its pillar (on which it stands). By Jihâd Islâm is established, Allâh’s Word is made superior, (His Word being Lâ ilaha illallâh which means none has the right to be worshipped but Allâh), and His Religion (Islâm) is propagated. By abandoning Jihâd (may Allâh protect us from that) Islâm is destroyed and the Muslims fall into an inferior position; their honour is lost, their lands are stolen, their rule and authority vanish. Jihâd is an obligatory duty in Islâm on every Muslim, and he who tries to escape from this duty, or does not in his innermost heart wish to fulfil this duty, dies with one of the qualities of a hypocrite.
Narrated ‘Abdullâh bin Mas‘ûd رضي الله عنه: I asked Allâh’s Messenger صلى الله عليه وسلم "O Allâh’s Messenger! What is the best deed?" He replied, "To offer the Salât (prayers) at their early fixed stated times." I asked, "What is next in goodness?" He replied, "To be good and dutiful to your parents." I further asked, "What is next in goodness?" He replied, "To participate in Jihâd in Allâh’s Cause." I did not ask Allâh’s Messenger صلى الله عليه وسلم anymore and if I had asked him more, he would have told me more. (Sahih Al-Bukhâri, Vol.4, Hadîth No.41).

violence?

    Of course, the question is redundant. But, since I did not propound it, I can, in good conscience,   exploit it to expand on the relationship between  Islam and war.  Jihad: warfare against non-Muslims, is  ordained for Muslims in 2:216.

Jihâd (holy fighting in Allâh's Cause) is ordained for you (Muslims) though you dislike it, and it may be that you dislike a thing which is good for you and that you like a thing which is bad for you.

    The first reaction to that ordinance must be to assume that it refers to defense.  In Mecca, weak; with no army, Moe preached tolerance and forbearance. In Medina, when he built a fighting force, Moe preached defensive and retaliatory jihad.  As his army grew in numbers and capability, he preached offensive jihad. 

 Permission to fight is given to those (i.e. believers against disbelievers), who are fighting them, (and) because they (believers) have been wronged, and surely, Allâh is Able to give them (believers) victory
2:190. And fight in the Way of Allâh those who fight you, but transgress not the limits. Truly, Allâh likes not the transgressors. [This Verse is the first one that was revealed in connection with Jihâd, but it was supplemented by another (V.9:36)].

2:191. And kill them wherever you find them, and turn them out from where they have turned you out. And Al-Fitnah is worse than killing. And fight not with them at Al-Masjid-al-Harâm (the sanctuary at Makkah), unless they (first) fight you there. But if they attack you, then kill them. Such is the recompense of the disbelievers.

And fight them until there is no more Fitnah (disbelief and polytheism: i.e. worshipping others besides Allâh) and the religion (worship) will all be for Allâh Alone [in the whole of the world ]. But if they cease (worshipping others besides Allâh), then certainly, Allâh is All-Seer of what they do.
 Fight against those who (1) believe not in Allâh, (2) nor in the Last Day, (3) nor forbid that which has been forbidden by Allâh and His Messenger (4) and those who acknowledge not the religion of truth (i.e. Islâm) among the people of the Scripture (Jews and Christians), until they pay the Jizyah with willing submission, and feel themselves subdued.

    The last two ayat quoted above command offensive, not defensive conquest.  If any doubt remains, click through to their topics in Tafsir Ibn Kathir and Reliance of the Traveller.  Islamic law declares that the caliph makes war against Jews & Christians and fights all other peoples until they become Muslims. There is no hope in hell of disproving the obvious because of a cryptic expression in a preceding section, decrypted by another quote. Hedaya contains a parallel expression which removes all possibility of doubt. These quotes come from Shari'ah: Islamic jurisprudence.

In the time of the Prophet (Allah bless him and give him peace) jihad was a communal obligation after his emigration (hijra) to Medina. As for subsequent times, there are two possible states in respect to non-Muslims.

The first is when they are in their own countries, in which case jihad (def: o9.8) is a communal obligation, and this is what our author is speaking of when he says, "Jihad is a communal obligation," meaning upon the Muslims each year.

"The least that the imam must do is that he allow no year to pass without having organised a military expedition by himself, or by his raiding parties, according to the Muslims' interest, so that the jihad will only be stopped in a year for a (reasonable) excuse."

  • Text
    •     The destruction of the sword  is incurred by infidels, although they be not the first aggressors, as appears from various passages in the  sacred writings which are generally received this effect.
  • Marginal Note

   Moe made statements confirming the jihad imperatives, one of them should be sufficient in the light of other evidence supplied above. This hadith also bears upon the last two questions which follow.

Sahih Bukhari Volume 1, Book 8, Number 387:
Narrated Anas bin Malik:
Allah's Apostle said, "I have been ordered to fight the people till they say: 'None has the right to be worshipped but Allah.' And if they say so, pray like our prayers, face our Qibla and slaughter as we slaughter, then their blood and property will be sacred to us and we will not interfere with them except legally and their reckoning will be with Allah." Narrated Maimun ibn Siyah that he asked Anas bin Malik, "O Abu Hamza! What makes the life and property of a person sacred?" He replied, "Whoever says, 'None has the right to be worshipped but Allah', faces our Qibla during the prayers, prays like us and eats our slaughtered animal, then he is a Muslim, and has got the same rights and obligations as other Muslims have."


  I will outline that to make it clear for the slow learners in the class.

  • Ordered to fight
    • confirming 8:39, 9:28 & 9:123
  • until they testify & practice
    • the jihad imperative is offensive, not defensive
  • their blood and property will be sacred
    • our blood and property are not sacred to Muslims, we are targets of an open season
  • then he is a Muslim and has got the same rights...
    • until we become Muslims we have no rights. 

 

equal rights?

    Review Sahih Bukhari 1.8.367 which was quoted and analyzed immediately above.  The blood and property of disbelievers are not sacred to Muslims: in other words, we have no right to life; its open season on us. 

second class citizens?

    When Muslims conquer infidel territory, the indigenous people not conmverted, slain, enslaved or driven out become dhimmis: "protected" people. Who are they protected from?  From Muslims, by virtue of paying jizya, which is extortion money paid in lieu of execution. 

    Muslims will dance about in circles, chanting, "but they don't pay Zakat and they don't fight in jihad". They may kiss my fat, smelly, deformed, ulcerated foot.  Jews & Christians only become dhimmis as a result of being conquered or intimidated; dhimmitude is not a voluntary condition, it is imposed by force; a result of conquest.

  • "When the Muslims enter the enemy's country, and besiege the cities or strongholds of the infidels, it is necessary to invite them to embrace the faith, because Ibn Abbas relates of the prophet that 'he never destroyed any without previously inviting them to embrace the faith.'  If, therefore, they embrace the faith, it is unnecessary to war with them because that which was the design of the war is then obtained without war. The prophet, moreover, has said 'we are directed to make war upon men until such time as they shall confess there is no God but one God; but when they repeat this creed, their persons and properties are in protection. " If they do not accept the call to faith, they must then be called upon to pay the jizya, or capitation-tax; because the prophet directed the commander of his armies so to do; and also, because by submitting to this tax, war is forbidden and terminated, upon the authority of the Koran."
  • for as to apostates and idolators of Arabia, to call upon them to pay the tax is useless, since nothing is accepted from them but embracing the faith, as it is thus commanded in the Koran)

    Is that clear enough for you?  For the benefit of politicians, professors, preachers and assorted other Morons I will gild the skunk weed with excessive redundant detail. 

  • "The arguments of Haneefa upon this point are twofold. First, capitation-tax is a sort of punishment inflicted upon infidels for their obstinancy in infidelity, ( as was before stated;p) whence it is that it cannot bve accepted of the infidel if he send it by the hands of a messenger, but must be exacted in a mortifying and humiliating manner, by the collector sitting and receiving it from him in a standing posture: (according to one tradition, the collector is to seize him by the throat, and shake him, saying, Pay your tax, Zimmee!)' --it is therefore evident that capitation-tax is a  punishment; and where two punishments come together, they are compounded, in the same manner as in Hidd, or stated punishment. Secondly, capitation-tax is a substitute for destruction in respect to the infidels, and a substitute for personal aid in respect to the Muslims, (as was before observed;_--but it is a substitute for destruction with regard to the future, not with regard to the past, because infidels are liable to be put to death only in future, in consequence of future war, and not in the past.  "

    This outline is for the benefit of the low functioning Morons and high functioning Imbeciles in the audience.

  • jizya is
    • punishment for infidelity
    • intended to be humiliating
    • substitute for being killed

    Dhimis are subjected to severe social and legal restrictions besides suffering extortion, the list comes from Reliance of the Traveller.

O11.5

Such non-Muslim subjects are obliged to comply with Islamic rules that pertain to the safety and indemnity of life, reputation, and property. In addition, they:

-1- are penalized for committing adultery or theft, thought not for drunkenness;

-2- are distinguished from Muslims in dress, wearing a wide cloth belt (zunnar);

-3- are not greeted with "as-Salamu 'alaykum";

-4- must keep to the side of the street;

-5- may not build higher than or as high as the Muslims' buildings, though if they acquire a tall house, it is not razed;

-6- are forbidden to openly display wine or pork, (A: to ring church bells or display crosses,) recite the Torah or Evangel aloud, or make public display of their funerals and feastdays;

-7- and are forbidden to build new churches.

O11.6

They are forbidden to reside in the Hijaz, meaning the area and towns around Mecca, Medina, and Yamama, for more than three days when the caliph allows them to enter there for something they need).

severely punished

    "If Muhammad is found guilty,  then Muhammad, Islam and his teachings will be severely punished." Moe died in 632, placing him beyond the power of Rev. Jones to impose punishment.  We can only hope and pray that Moe is suffering the torment of the grave, preparatory to richly deserved eternal damnation.

    Islam is Moe's teachings, books full of excrement, believed in and implemented by mortal men. It is not in Rev. Jones' power to punish Moe or his teachings.  Burning the Qur'an was purely symbolic. Burning the hadith, tafsir, jurisprudence, biography & history of Islam would do no more benefit.

International Judge the Koran Day Update: Video Released

International Judge the Koran Day Update: Video Released On March 20, 1011,  Pastor Terry Jones held a mock trial of the Koran at Gainesville, Fl. and executed it by burning.  The imposition of punishment upon the book was condemned as 'hate speech' & 'inciting violence' by the OIC, UN, President, Secretary of State, Congressmen & Generals.  it was said that the act endangered our troops overseas and threatened world peace. 

     Inflammatory kutbah at Jumah Salat incited riots which resulted in considerable death and property damage, consequent of rabble rousing rants in mosques, not the trial & burning of the Koran.  

     
    A  press release from Stand Up America, dated January 29, 2012, announced the delayed uploading of the video of  International Judge the Qur'an Day, which occurred March 20, 2011. The original streaming video has been divided into five parts.  The audio quality of the first part is marginal.  Since the trial was conducted in Arabic with a translator, it is not easy listening. 

    The execution begins just after 57.5 minutes into the fifth part.  One matter becomes clear: the front cover of the book is facing us and the spine of the book is on the left, which shows us that they burned a translation, not an Arabic Qur'an, which is printed from right to left.   Only the Arabic Qur'an is considered sacred.  The riots and recriminations were a big fuss over nothing. 

Koran on trial






      The prosecutor gave prominent mention of the following verses in his opening statement:

Note that close context can be significant and that there are differences in the numbering schemes between Arabic and English translations.  For a table of 37 parallel translations for easy comparison, visit: http://www.islamawakened.com/  and select the surah and ayeh of interest. 

    For a terse but authentic explanation of any ayeh, visit http://www.altafsir.com/tafasir.asp?tmadhno=0&ttafsirno=73&languageid=2 and select the surah and ayeh. 

    For a longer and more detailed tafsir, including quotes from relevant hadith, visit http://www.qtafsir.com/ and select the surah & ayeh of interest. 


Charges:

  1. crimes against humanity: training and promoting terrorists
  2. death, rape, torture of people worldwide whose only crime is not being of the Islamic faith
  3. crimes against women, against minorities, against Christians and with the promoting of prejudice and racism against anyone who is not a Muslim

Verdict: guilty. Sentence: burning.

Muhammad on trial

A press release from Stand Up America, dated January 30, 2012, announced intent to judge Muhammad in International Judge Muhammad Day, at a date and time to be announced later. Issues to be decided at the trial of Muhammad include the following points:

  • Was he a prophet of God as is claimed by the religion of Islam? 
  • Or was he a pedophile? 
  • Was he a deceiver? 
  • Was he a man of peace or was he a man of violence? 
  • Did he leave behind a world religion that betters mankind and promotes the equality of mankind? 
  • Or did he leave behind a religion of violence, a religion of racism and prejudice? 
  • Did he leave behind a religion that does not promote living together in peace and harmony and disrespects others opinions and religions? 
  • Did he leave behind a religion that believes only Muslims, believers in Allah and the so-called prophet Muhammad deserve the right to live and pursue their goals in life?

    In anticipation of International Judge Muhammad Day, which is sure to be interesting & controversial, some preparation will be required. Trying Muhammad will require reference to Guillaume's The Life of Muhammad, which is the oldest and most nearly complete & authentic sira.  The current price is  $32.08  and they only have ten in stock, with more on order.  For a free, on line alternative, read  The Sealed Nectar.

    Other sources include various hadith collections and Tabari's history. To avoid the redundancy and boring detail, I recommend reading the quotes in the appendix to Craig Winn's The Prophet of Doom.  Winn has collected the most interesting tidbits from the Profit's biography, history & sunnah in one easy to access collection, sorted by topic. 

    The credibility of Islam rides on Moe's shoulders.  If Moe is discredited, Islam is discredited.  Because of this, Muslims are super sensitive to criticism of Moe.  The proposed trial has potential to be more threatening & irritating to Muslims than the infamous Motoons. 

    I expect that the domestic & international caterwauling & condemnation of the trial of Moe will far outstrip that over the trial of the Qur'an. Rev. Jones will be falsely accused of racism, defamation of Islam, defaming a Prophet and endangering our troops, national security, international peace and diplomatic efforts.

     There is one new element which was not present March 20, '11: HRC 16/18 and the Istanbul Process to implement it.  Look for the OIC, EU & UN to demand imposition of civil & criminal persecution of Jones over damages done by  any rioting that might be blamed on the trial.

Bare Naked Islam Is Back!!

Bare Naked Islam, the video rich blog about current events related to Islam, taken down by Word Press after badgering by CAIR, is back, on its own, previously registered domain. 

    At present, there is a redirect from the old WordPress domain, but that might not last forever, so visitors should go to http://www.barenakedislam.com/
bookmark it and sign up for email notification of new posts. 

    Tyrants & dictators have long sought to squelch critics; the Stamp Act and attempts to limit access to printing presses played a role in causing the ar of Revolution which resulted in American independence. 

    George Washington said something of vital importance about free speech, we must ever bear his wise words in mind.

"If the freedom of speech is taken away then dumb and silent we may be led, like sheep to the slaughter."
"[http://www.georgewashingtonsociety.org/Mission.html]

    When attackers threaten, we must be free to identify & accurately describe the source of the threat and warn our fellows to fend off approaching danger.  Islam arrogantly demands that the alarm be silenced so as to facilitate conquest. Moe set the pattern, by commissioning the murder of poets & singers who criticized and mocked him. 

    Bare Naked Islam, which had more than 100,000 page views per month at WordPress, is one of the premier watchdogs, loudly sounding the alarm. It will not be silenced.

Pamela Geller Reams Them a New Orifice

Pamela Geller Reams Them a New Orifice. Pamela Geller is fast, frustrated & furious in this 40 minute video she reams indolent society a badly needed new orifice.  She has much more than she can say in such a short time, but she gives us a very good outline, drawing her points together to form a circle which encompasses the globe full of issues.

    Its war, and you are an army of one. Pamela is your General.  She gives you your orders: learn and teach others.  If you do nothing more, at least watch this video and share it with everyone who will listen.  Thanks and a tip of the hat to Front Page Magazine
http://frontpagemag.com/2011/09/23/pamela-geller-wednesday-morning-club/

    Reading the Qur'an is not easy because it is archaic, redundant and jumbled, lacking context & chronology.  The Noble Qur'an, translated by Hilali & Khan, is reputed to be 95% accurate and contains parenthetical expressions from tafsirs and the translator's footnotes.  Several Surahs are essential to understanding the malignantly militant nature of Islam: 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 33, 47, 48, 49 & 61.  You can select them from a pick list at the top of the page.

    Hadith are sayings of Muhammad, passed down from mouth to ear by his companions.  They have been collected by several scholars, the most widely accepted collection being that of Bukhari. Like the Qur'an, hadith collections suffer from redundancy.  Begin with Books 52, 53 & 59, then read the others if you have sufficient patience. 

    Tafsir are scholarly explanations of the Qur'an. They use parallel verses and relevant ahadith to clarify the verses. Tafsir Ibn Kathir is fairly complete and easily accessible. You can select the Surahs listed above and read them instead of the Qur'an & hadith to save time and effort. 

    Islamic biography and history are also important, but less easily accessible than the Qur'an, hadith and tafsir.  Craig Winn compiled  selections  of the canon into a 1000 page book with the quotes compiled into handy appendices  "The Prophet of Doom". 

    For those lacking the time, patience and ambition to tackle the large tomes, there is a short book which encapsulates the  most essential information: Suhas Majumdar's "Jihad: The Islamic Doctrine of Permanent War".

    Pamela Geller raises the issue of Shari'ah: Islamic law based on the Qur'an & hadith.  Much of it is arcane, dealing with matters of prayer & ritual purity.  The really important parts deal with "justice", marriage & divorce.  It will be easier for you go go to Amazon and buy a hard copy of Reliance of the Traveller.  If you can tolerate a low resolution scan and large, pdf, this link will get you into Chapter 9 of Book O; "Justice".You can scroll up to Books  N & M.

    If you delve deeply into Reliance, you will discover that divorce is affected by the husband's thrice repeating "I divorce you".  You will discover that a father can force his virgin, pre-pubescent daughter to marry the man of his choice.  You will learn that a Christian woman married to a Muslim can not obtain child custody in divorce.

worship same God,promote justice & equality,faiths equal,

CAIR vs. Santorum and Gingrich: More Islamic Lies CAIR published a press release objecting to remarks by Rick Santorum in which he asserted that Islam is not the source of the concept of equality.  I have selected some representative quotes and will disprove CAIR's lies with citations to the Qur'an, hadith & Shari'ah.

"The Quran, Islam's revealed text, is the best refutation of Mr. Santorum's inaccurate and offensive remarks, which are unbecoming of anyone who hopes to hold our nation's highest office. Christians, Jews and Muslims all worship the same God and share religious traditions that promote justice and equality.

Dr. Laleh Bakhtiar 4:142  Truly, the ones who are hypocrites seek to trick God. And He is The One Who Deceives them, and when they stood up for formal prayer, they stood up lazily to make display to humanity. And they remember not God but a little,

Muhammad Sarwar  4:142 The hypocrites try to deceive God but He, in fact, deceives them. They stand up in prayer lazily just to show that they pray, but, in truth they remember God very little.

Do Christians and Jews Worship a blood thirsty demon who appoints warlords as prophets and demands great slaughter as their price of admission to Paradise?

8:67. It is not for a Prophet that he should have prisoners of war (and free them with ransom) until he had made a great slaughter (among his enemies) in the land. You desire the good of this world (i.e. the money of ransom for freeing the captives), but Allâh desires (for you) the Hereafter. And Allâh is All-Mighty, All-Wise.

promote justice and equality

"The Quran and the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) stress racial and gender equality.The Prophet said: 'All people are equal as the teeth of a comb.' 


 Allah's word declares that men are superior to women, whose testimony is valued as half that men and who inherit half as much as  men. 

4:32. And wish not for the things in which Allâh has made some of you to excel others. For men there is reward for what they have earned, (and likewise) for women there is reward for what they have earned, and ask Allâh of His Bounty. Surely, Allâh is Ever All­Knower of everything.

2:282. [...]  And if there are not two men (available), then a man and two women, such as you agree for witnesses, so that if one of them (two women) errs, the other can remind her. And the witnesses should not refuse when they are called on (for evidence).

4:11. Allâh commands you as regards your children's (inheritance); to the male, a portion equal to that of two females; if (there are) only daughters, two or more, their share is two thirds of the inheritance; if only one, her share is half. [...]

"The Prophet once told a companion: 'You are not better than people (of other races) unless you excel them in piety.' (Al-Tirmidhi, Hadith 1361)

excel them in piety

    How might Muslims excel us in piety? Allah conceals, Moe reveals, look beneath the surface of the text! Muslims excel us in piety by attacking and enslaving us.

3:110. You [true believers in Islâmic Monotheism, and real followers of Prophet Muhammad  and his Sunnah (legal ways, etc.)] are the best of peoples ever raised up for mankind; you enjoin Al-Ma'rûf (i.e. Islâmic Monotheism and all that Islâm has ordained) and forbid Al-Munkar (polytheism, disbelief and all that Islâm has forbidden), and you believe in Allâh. And had the people of the Scripture (Jews and Christians) believed, it would have been better for them; among them are some who have faith, but most of them are Al-Fâsiqûn (disobedient to Allâh - and rebellious against Allâh's Command).

Sahih Bukhari Volume 6, Book 60, Number 80:

Narrated Abu Huraira:

The Verse:--"You (true Muslims) are the best of peoples ever raised up for mankind." means, the best of peoples for the people, as you bring them with chains on their necks till they embrace Islam.

 

CAIR Reminds Gingrich That All Faiths are Equal in America http://tinyurl.com/7rvpa2e

All Faiths are Equal

    Religious liberty is one of the fundamental ideas of America, but not of Islam.  The Qur'an treats Christians and Jews rather harshly, criticizing, cursing and declaring war against them.

1:7. The Way of those on whom You have bestowed Your Grace, not (the way) of those who earned Your Anger (such as the Jews), nor of those who went astray (such as the Christians). 

2:159. Verily, those who conceal the clear proofs, evidences and the guidance, which We have sent down, after We have made it clear for the people in the Book, they are the ones cursed by Allâh and cursed by the cursers.

2:160. Except those who repent and do righteous deeds, and openly declare (the truth which they concealed). These, I will accept their repentance. And I am the One Who accepts repentance, the Most Merciful.

2:161. Verily, those who disbelieve, and die while they are disbelievers, it is they on whom is the Curse of Allâh and of the angels and of mankind, combined.

9:29. Fight against those who (1) believe not in Allâh, (2) nor in the Last Day, (3) nor forbid that which has been forbidden by Allâh and His Messenger (4) and those who acknowledge not the religion of truth (i.e. Islâm) among the people of the Scripture (Jews and Christians), until they pay the Jizyah with willing submission, and feel themselves subdued.

  
    Where Allah's writ runs, Christians and Jews are subject to draconian restrictions under Shari'ah.  The following quote is from Reliance of the Traveller

O11.5

Such non-Muslim subjects are obliged to comply with Islamic rules that pertain to the safety and indemnity of life, reputation, and property. In addition, they:

-1- are penalized for committing adultery or theft, though not for drunkenness;

-2- are distinguished from Muslims in dress, wearing a wide cloth belt (zunnar);

-3- are not greeted with "as-Salamu 'alaykum";

-4- must keep to the side of the street;

-5- may not build higher than or as high as the Muslims' buildings, though if they acquire a tall house, it is not razed;

-6- are forbidden to openly display wine or pork, (A: to ring church bells or display crosses,) recite the Torah or Evangel aloud, or make public display of their funerals and feastdays;

-7- and are forbidden to build new churches.

Newt Gingrich Misses the Mark on Islam & Shari'ah

Newt Gingrich Misses the Mark on Islam & Shari'ah News Gingrich swerves dangerously close to the truth, but veers away at the last moment.  Thanks and a tip of the hat to Pulp Ark, who posted a link on Facebook.  I viewed the video and read the accompanying article at Huffington Post


    The amateur transcript which follows will not be perfect, but should be close enough.  I have highlighted some major points which I will consider below.

Q:  Now you mentioned that the founding fathers have said that we are all created equal as men and also you have unquestionable support for Israel, obviously.  My question is on foreign policy--you've mentioned through the campaign theat the Palestinian people were invented people. What do you suggest should happen to them, should they become Israeli citizens, or should they just... what do you suggest should happen to them?

The other question is:  I know this is South Carolina, I am from South Carolina, but ...is 60% Evangelical Christians and with a strong support for Israel, but also my question is, you know, the governor of the state is, you know, of Indian heritage, her parents came from India, and we have a Catholic running for President, a Mormon running for President; would you, as Newt Gingrich support a Muslim American running for President, would you endorse, at one point in the future, in American history, that a Muslim American could possibly be running for President  given that we had a woman running for President in Hillary Cl8inton and we had a Jewish American in Joe Lieberman running for Vice President, thank you very much?

A:  I think it would depend entirely on whether they would commit in public to give up Shari'ah.  I am totally opposed to Shari'ah law, being accepted by any court in the United States, in fact I favor a federal law that preempts it and says Shari'ah law will not be used in any court in the United States and this is a very fundamental question.  I mean, people who are truly moderate ...we have a friend in Arizona who served in the U.S. Navy, who is a medical doctor, who is Muslim but he is a totally modern person trying to find ways to bring Islam into modernity

   When you realize it was said last night that a rising Islamization of Turkey has been accompanied by  a 1400% increase in women being killed; when you look at the actual  implementation of Shari'ah in places like Iran, when you look at churches being burned in Nigeria and in Egypt...the decline of Christians in Iraq from 1,200,000 when Americans arrived to about 500,000 today;  It depends entirely on the person: If they are a modern person integrated into the modern world, and they are prepared to recognize all religions, that's one thing, on the other hand, if they are the Saudis,  who demand that we respect them while they refuse to allow either a Jew or a Christian to worship in Saudi Arabia, that's something different.  and I think we need a President who stands up, tells the truth and rejects any kind of effort to impose on us a sense of guilt because we believe in our religion and we're prepared to tell the truth and I am totally opposed to the State Department meeting a week ago with the Organization of Islamic Countries who are seeking to censor any comment about Islam because I think it is a fundamental violation of our right of free speech as Americans.  But within that framework, a truly modern person who happened to worship Allah would not be a threat.  A person who belonged to any kind of belief in Shari'ah, any kind of effort to impose that on the rest of us, would be a mortal threat

    Now, the Palestinian question is a good one.  I think if HAMAS and the PLO would recognize Israel's right  to exist, and if they meant it; if they would hunt down and stop the terrorists and the bombings, I would favor peace with the Palestinians; I would favor an independent state, I would  an ability of them to become prosperous and live in safety and have the right of property rights.  But, in Novemeber, eleven missiles were fired into Israel; that's not a peace process, that's war,  and I think this idea... and HAMAS's official position is the extinction of Israel...we don't have negotiations with somebody who says lets sit down and  negotiate while I figure out how to wipe you out.  and I think that we have tolerated for too long terrorist activities disguised as diplomatic behavior, and i think the Palestinian people should throw out the folks .who want to destroy Israel and should say "Ok, we  accept Israel's right to exist, if Israel will accept our right to be prosperous, have the rule ... of our property... and candidly, that means giving up the 'right of return', and the reason I talk about it that way is no natural right of return.  Greeks have no right to return to Turkey,  East Germans have no right to return to Poland, Poles have no right to return to Russia, and we;ve had all sorts of changes in territorial boundaries in the last 200 years, and the only place where it's propped up is  against the state of Israel and the purpose of propping it up is to destroy Israel and we are to say 'fine, that's over; there is no right of return, now lets negotiate the future. '.

give up Shari'ah

    Including that phrase in a conditional clause is either a token of irony or ignorance.  I am not sure which applies in this case.  Abandonment of Shari'ah is an act of apostasy, one of twenty such acts listed in Reliance of the Traveller, Book O8.7.

-14- to deny the obligatory character of something which by the consensus of Muslims (ijma`, def: B7) is part of Islam, when it is well known as such, like the prayer (salat) or even one rak'a from one of the five obligatory prayers, if there is no excuse (def: u2.4);

-19- to be sarcastic about any ruling of the Sacred Law;

    Allah's permissions, prohibitions 7 imperatives, expressed in the Qur'an, are the primary source of Shari'ah. 

Only Allah has the right to rule

 

5:44. [...] And whosoever does not judge by what Allâh has revealed, such are the Kâfirûn (i.e. disbelievers - of a lesser degree as they do not act on Allâh's Laws ).

5:49.  And so judge (you O Muhammad ) between them by what Allâh has revealed and follow not their vain desires, [...]

22:41. Those (Muslim rulers) who, if We give them power in the land, (they) order for Iqamat-as-Salât. [i.e. to perform the five compulsory congregational Salât (prayers) (the males in mosques)], to pay the Zakât and they enjoin Al-Ma'rûf (i.e. Islâmic Monotheism and all that Islâm orders one to do), and forbid Al-Munkar (i.e. disbelief, polytheism and all that Islâm has forbidden) [i.e. they make the Qur'ân as the law of their country in all the spheres of life]. And with Allâh rests the end of (all) matters (of creatures).

33:36. It is not for a believer, man or woman, when Allâh and His Messenger have decreed a matter that they should have any option in their decision. And whoever disobeys Allâh and His Messenger, he has indeed strayed in a plain error.  

truly moderate

    That phrase defines a hypocrite [47:20], not a believer. Believers are only those who engage in jihad, killing others and being killed fighting in Allah's cause [9:111].
Newt appears to imply that he would endorse the candidacy of Dr. Zuhdi Jasser if he seeks high office.  I find Dr. Jasser to be an exemplar of cognitive dissonance because, while professing to be Muslim, he asserts that Islam can be modernized or reformed; that it is compatible with our Constitution & Republic, which it clearly is not.   You will not catch me knowingly voting for a Muslim, including Dr. Jasser!

bring Islam into modernity

    Dr. Jasser might as well try to fly by jumping off his roof and flapping his arms like wings. Islam is perfected and immutable. 

5:3. [...]This day, I have perfected your religion for you, completed My Favour upon you, and have chosen for you Islâm as your religion.  [...]

6:115. And the Word of your Lord has been fulfilled in truth and in justice. None can change His Words. And He is the All­Hearer, the All­Knower.

10.64. [...] No change can there be in the Words of Allâh, this is indeed the supreme success.

18:27. [...] None can change His Words, and none will you find as a refuge other than Him.

30:30. [...] No change let there be in Khalq­illâh (i.e. the Religion of Allâh Islâmic Monotheism), that is the straight religion, but most of men know not. [Tafsir At­Tabarî, Vol 21, Page 41]

Sahih Bukhari 8.76.585 [...] 'I will say: They are of me (i.e. my followers). It will be said, 'You do not know what they innovated (new things) in the religion after you left'. I will say, 'Far removed, far removed (from mercy), those who changed (their religion) after me." Abu Huraira narrated that the Prophet said, "On the Day of Resurrection a group of companions will come to me, but will be driven away from the Lake-Fount, and I will say, 'O Lord (those are) my companions!' It will be said, 'You have no knowledge as to what they innovated after you left; they turned apostate as renegades (reverted from Islam)."

depends entirely on the person

    Is the person a Muslim in name only, or is he a zealous Muslim concealing what he believes to avoid offending potential voters?  In one of his books, President Obama said that the would "side with the Muslims" if things turned ugly.  Who did he side with in the "Arab spring"?  Who is he siding with on the issue of censoring critic8ism of Islam?  Is he exemplifying his belief or is he practicing al-Taqiyya?

3:28. Let not the believers take the disbelievers as Auliyâ (supporters, helpers, etc.) instead of the believers, and whoever does that will never be helped by Allâh in any way, except if you indeed fear a danger from them. And Allâh warns you against Himself (His Punishment), and to Allâh is the final return.

The Prohibition of Supporting the Disbelievers
[...](unless you indeed fear a danger from them) meaning, except those believers who in some areas or times fear for their safety from the disbelievers. In this case, such believers are allowed to show friendship to the disbelievers outwardly, but never inwardly. For instance, Al-Bukhari recorded that Abu Ad-Darda' said, "We smile in the face of some people although our hearts curse them.'' Al-Bukhari said that Al-Hasan said, "The Tuqyah is allowed until the Day of Resurrection.'' [...]


    A Muslim's oath of office can not be trusted.  66:2 is in the context of marital disputes and 9:1 is in the context of breaking the hudna with Mecca to facilitate conquest.  But the hadith collected by Muslim shows us that Muslims have a break your oath free card from Moe.  This dispensation vitiates a Muslim's oath. 

66:2. Allâh has already ordained for you (O men), the dissolution of your oaths. And Allâh is your Maula (Lord, or Master, or Protector, etc.) and He is the All-Knower, the All-Wise.

9:1. Freedom from (all) obligations (is declared) from Allâh and His Messenger () to those of the Mushrikûn (polytheists, pagans, idolaters, disbelievers in the Oneness of Allâh), with whom you made a treaty.

9:3. And a declaration from Allâh and His Messenger to mankind on the greatest day (the 10th of Dhul-Hijjah - the 12th month of Islâmic calendar) that Allâh is free from (all) obligations to the Mushrikûn (see V.2:105) and so is His Messenger. So if you (Mushrikûn) repent, it is better for you, but if you turn away, then know that you cannot escape (from the Punishment of) Allâh. And give tidings (O Muhammad ) of a painful torment to those who disbelieve.

9:4. Except those of the Mushrikûn with whom you have a treaty, and who have not subsequently failed you in aught, nor have supported anyone against you. So fulfill their treaty to them to the end of their term. Surely Allâh loves Al- Mattaqûn (the pious - see V.2:2).

Sahih Muslim  Book 015, Number 4052:

Abu Huraira reported: A person sat late in the night with Allah's Apostle (may peace be upon him), and then came to his family and found that his children had gone to sleep. His wife brought food for him. but he took an oath that he would not eat because of his children (having gone to sleep without food) He then gave precedence (of breaking the vow and then expiating it) and ate the food He then came to Allah s Messenger (may peace be upon him) and made mention of that to him, whereupon Allah's Messenger (may peace he upon him) said: He who took an oath and (later on) found something better than that should do that, and expiate for (breaking) his vow.

recognize all religions 

    Islam is declared to be perfect, final & superior.  Allah declares Jews & Christians to be the "worst of living creatures" Allah, his angels and Muslims curse Jews & Christians.  The religion with Allah is Islam, and nothing else will be accepted.  A Muslim who tolerates other religions is either ignorant, deceptive or an apostate.

a President who tells the truth

    Yes, we need a truthful President. First, we must find truthful candidates who will acknowledge the fact that Islam is the existential & irreconcilable enemy, with whom negotiation is fruitless. It is Islam, not Wahhabism, 'radicalism' or 'extremism'.  Islam's perpetual enmity and aggression are functions of the core doctrines of Islam, having nothing to do with nationality or sect.

modern Muslim

    There is no moderate Islam. There is no modern Islam.  Islam is what Moe preached and practiced 1400 years ago, not what you wish it to be.  Islam is defined by the Qur'an, which is immutable because the text forbids editing and Moe's sunnah, which does not change because he is dead. 

Shari'ah

    If Allah or Moe said it or did it, it is Shari'ah.  A Muslim who abjures Shari'ah signs his death warrant for believers to execute.  Because Shari'ah is primarily derived from the Qur'an, it is impossible to abjure it without abjuring Islam. 

mortal threat

    If one is a Muslim believer, one is a mortal threat to every person who is not a Muslim.  Exactly what part of Islam do you not comprehend?

8:39. And fight them until there is no more Fitnah (disbelief and polytheism: i.e. worshipping others besides Allâh) and the religion (worship) will all be for Allâh Alone [in the whole of the world ]. But if they cease (worshipping others besides Allâh), then certainly, Allâh is All-Seer of what they do.

9:29. Fight against those who (1) believe not in Allâh, (2) nor in the Last Day, (3) nor forbid that which has been forbidden by Allâh and His Messenger (4) and those who acknowledge not the religion of truth (i.e. Islâm) among the people of the Scripture (Jews and Christians), until they pay the Jizyah with willing submission, and feel themselves subdued.

9:111. Verily, Allâh has purchased of the believers their lives and their properties; for the price that theirs shall be the Paradise. They fight in Allâh's Cause, so they kill (others) and are killed. It is a promise in truth which is binding on Him in the Taurât (Torah) and the Injeel (Gospel) and the Qur'ân. And who is truer to his covenant than Allâh? Then rejoice in the bargain which you have concluded. That is the supreme success .

if HAMAS would recognize Israel

    If pigs grew wings they could fly.  HAMAS is Islam.  Allah promised Muslims that they would conquer the world, irreversibly.  Allah's judgment is final, there is none to put it back, but Israel recovered some of her territory stolen by Muslims in 638 & 1948.  That recovery of territory is the ultimate blasphemy; empirical proof of the fact that Allah is an impotent idol.  If you expect Muslims to tolerate that, you need a brain transplant.  It has not happened in 63 years, and it will never happen because it ain't possible. 

throw out the folks

    Brilliant idea, Newt, you found the solution!  Expel the Muslims from Israel, including Judea & Samaria.  But you must also push them back beyond rocket range.
