They Are Neither ‘Losers,’ ‘Nihilists,’ ‘Worshipers Of Death,’ Nor ‘Sick Cowards’– But Devout Believers Pursuing a World Under Islam

“The problem lies not in the perpetrators’ innate character but in some of the core values of their religious belief system.”

“Western leaders cannot expect to defeat “terrorism” in their countries when they deny and evade acknowledging the roots of the jihadi phenomenon: the deep connection of the attacks to the faith.

It is good to see the distinguished Yigal Carmon forcefully defining what motivates the enemy — something my colleagues and I have spent our lives doing at great personal risk and cost. Carmon is the president and cofounder of the Middle East Media Research Institute (MEMRI), an organization which monitors and translates Arabic and Persian publications; radio and TV broadcasts; and religious sermons into many languages and circulates them over the Internet.

They Are Neither ‘Losers,’ ‘Nihilists,’ ‘Worshipers Of Death,’ Nor ‘Sick Cowards’– But Rather Believers And Idealists Who Commit Horrific Murders For A Cause And Sacrifice Their Lives For A Utopian Future: A World Ruled By Their Faith

By: Yigal Carmon, June 5, 2017:

Following the May 22 Manchester attack, UK Prime Minister Theresa May defined those behind such attacks as “sick cowards,” not Islamists. Between the March 2017 Westminster terror attack and Saturday’s London bridge vehicular and stabbing attack, five additional terrorist plots had been thwarted. We are re-sending this MEMRI article, penned by MEMRI President Yigal Carmon and originally published May 30, 2017. It focuses on the deep connection between these attackers and their faith and stresses the need to stop the hypocrisy aimed at not offending Muslims and instead to speak the truth, because it is more respectful as well as more helpful in the fight against this type of terrorism. It also proposes an immediate strategy: legislation to stop jihadi use of the Internet, which has been powering the spread of jihadi ideology for over a decade. Western leaders must disregard all the corporate excuses, that this is impossible or incompatible with free speech. Free speech does not permit incitement to murder, including faith-based incitement. They should honor the international conventions against genocide and not allow the Internet companies to flout the laws of democratic countries. For a detailed strategy for purging the Internet of jihadi incitement, see MEMRI Daily Brief No. 126, An Internet Clean Of Jihadi Incitement – Not Mission Impossible, May 1, 2017.

Just like Barack Obama, Francois Hollande and David Cameron, who denied that the jihadi bombings in the West were in any way connected to religion, Donald Trump and Theresa May now also insist on mischaracterizing the jihadi phenomenon, calling the jihadis by different names such as “evil losers” (Trump) and “sick cowards” (May).

During his campaign Trump spoke in different terms (“radical Islamic terrorism”) – but since then he has evidently adopted the approach favored by the other Western leaders, who consider any reference to the religious roots of terror as “unhelpful.” Like them, he is apparently motivated by the understandable need to avoid offending 1.4 billion Muslims.

So first, let’s put forward the true, if “unhelpful,” definition. The jihadis who perpetrate these horrific crimes are neither losers, nor nihilists, nor worshippers of death, nor sick cowards. On the contrary, the overwhelming majority of them are devout and fanatic believers. They are idealists who sacrifice their lives for the sake of a utopian future: a world ruled by their faith. The attacks they commit are extreme acts of piety. They seek to emulate the dedication of the early believers in order to revive the glory and grandeur of the past. In fact, as part of their training, many suicide bombers adopt a pious lifestyle: they immerse themselves in prayer, help the needy in their society, pay all their debts, and become moral and religious role models for others (see the Appendix of this document for the last statement of the suicide-bomber Hanadi Jaradat, who committed mass murder in a Haifa restaurant and began her will with the religious formula, “in the name of Allah the Merciful and Compassionate”).

Contrary to the approach of the Western leaders, who blame the evil character of the perpetrators while absolving the faith they follow, the truth is that these perpetrators, by the standards of their own belief, are virtuous people who follow the directives of the Koran [48:29]: “Be fierce towards the infidels, merciful towards each other.” The problem lies not in the perpetrators’ innate character but in some of the core values of their religious belief system. Indeed, their faith – any faith – includes elements that are beautiful alongside elements that are malevolent. Denying that these malevolent elements are part of the faith, as the Western leaders do, is wrong. It is such denial that is unhelpful; in fact, it is self-deception.

Can the mischaracterization of the terrorists’ acts actually achieve the goal of avoiding offense to the world’s Muslims? The answer is no. Faced with the Western leaders’ statements that totally disassociate the jihadis’ acts from their religious roots, the world’s Muslims can only conclude that Western leaders do not understand their faith and have the intellectual conceit to mischaracterize it. In fact, this mischaracterization denies some of the core values that underpinned the great achievements of Islam in which Muslims take pride: the establishment a great civilization and the building of not one empire but several in the course of history.

It would be far more respectful to Muslims to acknowledge that these values (of self-sacrifice and extreme dedication aimed at spreading the faith by force) were the basis of Islam’s expansion, just as the spread of Christianity, after the Emperor Constantine established it as the state religion, was based on a similar process of imposing the faith by force. However, Christianity has since renounced these values. Christianity does not deny its past, but it has jettisoned the element of coercion. Similarly, Western leaders must not denigrate the Muslim past by denying its core values, but rather should demand that Muslims follow the same path: realize that some violent values that underpinned their civilization and glorious past are incompatible with modern morality. Western leaders should therefore demand that contemporary Muslims focus on other aspects of their faith (as Christianity has done), and totally reject imposing their religious utopian vision by the force of arms.

Western leaders cannot expect to defeat “terrorism” in their countries when they deny and evade acknowledging the roots of the jihadi phenomenon: the deep connection of the attacks to the faith. Admitting this connection will not only be more respectful to Muslims, it will also be conducive to reforms and useful to Muslim reformists, who acknowledge that the terrorists’ ideals come from within: from the houses of worship, the schools and society at large. Being truthful towards the Muslims is more respectful than denial. It will also be much more helpful, since only discarding the completely unnecessary hypocrisy regarding the roots of Islamic terror will help Muslims adopt a normal attitude towards their past: pride in its achievements, along with the necessary criticism of the archaic values that led to these achievements. Muslims should accept a post-caliphate role for themselves just like all European states have reconciled themselves to post-imperial status. This is an admittedly painful process but it is an unavoidable one. The most senior Muslim religious leaders should seek a Muslim aggiornamento (a bringing up to date of the religion) along the lines of the reforms introduced by Pope John XXIII.

These messages should be delivered by Western leaders openly and insistently, in lieu of the intellectual evasion and denial practiced today. It should be emphasized that this demand is not addressed exclusively to Muslims. It is a demand that the West and Christianity have applied to themselves, and therefore have every right to demand it of the Muslim world. Only thus will the ideological base of jihad be eradicated and “terrorism” significantly decline. Needless to say, this is a long-term process, but it is nevertheless the genuine solution to the problem and the only way to produce results.

In translating this insight into concrete policies, two steps seem to be immediately necessary. First, Western leaders must cease the hypocritical denial of jihad’s deep connection to faith, and firmly and openly demand that the leaders of the Muslim world take significant steps to reform the religion.  Second – and this is up to them alone – they must enact legislation to stop the jihadi use of the Internet, which has been powering the spread of jihadi ideology for over a decade. They must disregard all the corporate excuses, that this is impossible or incompatible with free speech. Free speech does not permit incitement to murder, including faith-based incitement. They should honor the international conventions against genocide and not allow the Internet companies to flout the laws of democratic countries. For a detailed strategy for purging the Internet of jihadi incitement, see MEMRI Daily Brief No. 126, An Internet Clean Of Jihadi Incitement – Not Mission Impossible, May 1, 2017.

Appendix: The Will of Hanadi Jaradat

The following is the transcript of the videotaped “last will and testament” of Hanadi Jaradat, who carried out the Maxim Restaurant suicide bombing in Haifa on October 4, 2003. The transcript was posted on the Islamic Jihad website, at http://www.qudsway.com/Links/Jehad/7/Html_Jehad7/hinadi/hinadi2/hinadi_qudsnet_003.htm

mdb128.jpg

“The last will and testament of the Martyr Hanadi [Jaradat], before she set off to carry out the Haifa operation:

“In the name of Allah the Merciful and Compassionate, prayer and peace be upon the master of mankind, our master Muhammad, may Allah pray for him and give him peace:

“The Exalted One said [in the Koran]: ‘Do not consider those who died for the cause of Allah as dead, rather as alive, at their Lord sustained.’ [Koran 3:169]. Verily, Allah’s words are true.

“Dear family, whom the Lord of the world will reward as He promised us all in His Holy Book [with the words], ‘Give glad tidings to those who persevere.’ [Koran 2:155]. Indeed, Allah promised Paradise to those who persevere in all that He has brought upon them – and what a good dwelling Paradise it is.

“Therefore, reckon my sacrifice in anticipation of the reward of Allah, praised and exalted be He, to you in the Hereafter. I should not be too valuable to sacrifice myself for the religion of Allah. I have always believed in what is said in the Holy Koran, and I have been yearning for the rivers of Paradise, and I have been yearning to see the glorious light of Allah’s face. I have been yearning for all this ever since Allah bestowed guidance upon me.”

The root of Islamic terror is based on cult-leader Muhammad, the founder of Islamism, inventor of enslavement of Africans, around his sadist example & sadist theist psychopath commands.
Timing is a crucial part of our life.
If we condemn “faith” but exclude sadist & racist Muhammad from our criticism, “Muhammad” will slip through our vigilance so to speak.
We need to recognize unjust transgressions & need the awareness to apologize for them to be conscious & beneficial members of society.
#Ban Islam, save lives worldwide & free the African slaves from Saudi Arabia to Mauritania, the Biafra-leader, the Leavenworth 10, Israeli soldier Azaria, Salim Masih & so on.

Pam is correct once again. Western apologists keep making up excuses after each attack.
They are …”losers”…”lone wolves”…”insane”…etc…etc…
No! The islamists are doing what their ideology demands of them.

Islam is a political system, NOT a religion, and unless and until
humanity wakes the hell up and STOPS referring to it as a religion,
there is no hope. Islam is a hyper-aggressive, militaristic,
expansionist, totalitarian political system designed to create a
super-rich micro-oligarchical ruling class with a massive, destitute, genetically handicapped
underclass below. The paper-thin faux-religious facade was a conscious,
specific con from the very beginning – much like Mormonism and
Scientology – a pure racket using borrowed and piggy-backed religious
motifs to lend credibility to a massive, loosely-knit network of crime
syndicate cells.

Here is a quote from Osama bin Laden that sums it all up:

“Our talks with the infidel West and our conflict with
them ultimately revolve around one issue; one that demands our total
support, with power and determination, with one voice, and it is: Does
Islam, or does it not, force people by the power of the sword to submit
to its authority corporeally if not spiritually? Yes. There are only
three choices in Islam: [1] either willing submission [conversion]; or
[2] payment of the jizya, through physical, though not spiritual,
submission to the authority of Islam; or [3] the sword, for it is not
right to let him [an infidel] live. The matter is summed up for every
person alive: Either submit, or live under the suzerainty of Islam, or
die.”

–Osama Bin Laden

(The Al Qaeda Reader, p. 42)…

The problem lies in the corrupt and vile false god Allah, whose evil characteristics are displayed in his equally corrupt followers. Satan is the actual person behind the thin mask of Allah, and no one that actively serves him will be free of his evil influence, no matter how “moderate” or peaceful that some may be on the outside. “I’m a moral Satanist” would have the same significance as saying, “I’m a moral follower of Allah”…the two are mutually exclusive terms.

katzkiner, note that I said false god, not God. If you don’t believe that there is an actual fallen angel masquerading as Allah, then we disagree. I believe that Satan is very real, and that he or one of his demonic followers is indeed wearing the mask of Allah. In Allah, we can see every corrupt trait of Satan on clear and open display. I also believe that when the Mahdi of Islam does arrive, that he and the false Christ (the antichrist and false prophet of the Bible) will be actually demon-possessed at some point, allowing the Mahdi to claim that he is the embodiment of Allah on Earth. It does little good, in my opinion, to pretend that Allah is just a fiction invented by Mohammad, as I believe the stories and evidence indicate otherwise. To resist an enemy, it is necessary to acknowledge their existence, and I firmly believe that Allah is of demonic origin, and has been since the initial encounters with Mohammad. Allah is a God wanna-be, a vile pretender, a very real fallen angel, in my opinion.

muslims are notorious for inventing passages out of the qur’an that tend to agree with their most current hatred. There are a lot of passages in the qur’an that muslims will not talk about, feigning insult or ignorance, actually they do that all of the time, but these quotes illustrate that even mutgonad, police beat upon him, eventually admitted to being more of a liar than islam allows.
“Prophet Mohammed’s confession:

“I have fabricated things against God and have imputed to Him words which He has not spoken.”

— Al-Tabari, The History of Al-Tabari, vol. vi, p. 111

‘Then Gabriel came to the apostle and said , “What have you done, Muhammad? You have read to these people something I did not bring you from God and you have said what He did not say to you.”‘

— Ibn Ishaq, Sirat Rasul Allah, p. 166”

Islam practices abrogation. Later passages trump earlier passages. In Christianity, passages in the Bible must be harmoniously interpreted. So an interpretation of a New Testament verse which runs contrary to an Old Testament verse should be rejected.

The verses quoted about peace and stuff come early, and are over-written by later passages.

No music , no art, no books…spend a few months in Saudi Arabia and see what you have to look forward to. Islam is a BL:ACK HOLE…once in, almost impossible to get out and survive.

This article began with a refreshing and original point of view, but by the time we get down a few paragraphs it has gone right off the rail, specifically, when it began to paint a false equivalence between Islam and Christianity.

“It would be far more respectful to Muslims to acknowledge that these values (of self-sacrifice and extreme dedication aimed at spreading the faith by force) were the basis of Islam’s expansion, just as the spread of Christianity, after the Emperor Constantine established it as the state religion, was based on a similar process of imposing the faith by force. However, Christianity has since renounced these values.”

“Christianity” never had these values to begin with. It was Emperor Constantine who had these values. Christianity upholds and maintains the values espoused by Christ. Christ was a man of peace, love, compassion, and humility. He sought to build a “kingdom in heaven”, not here on earth.

“Christianity does not deny its past, but it has jettisoned the element of coercion.”

Christianity never had the element of coercion. Emperor Constantine did. Corrupted Popes through the ages did, Christianity? Never!

“Similarly, Western leaders must not denigrate the Muslim past by denying its core values, but rather should demand that Muslims follow the same path: realize that some violent values that underpinned their civilization and glorious past are incompatible with modern morality.”

This demonstrates a total ignorance of Islam. Islam cannot simply ignore the violence in the Quran. It is the direct word of Allah. That would be blasphemy. Similarly, they cannot ignore the demands of their prophet. He was “the perfect example” to be followed, as Jesus is the perfect example to follow for Christians. Problem is, where Christ was a man of peace, love, compassion, and humility who sought to build a “kingdom in heaven”, not here on earth, Muhammad was his alter ego. He was a ruthless warlord who killed anyone who stood in his way to establishing a kingdom on earth. He was a worldly man who raped and robbed and tortured and enslaved. He was the anti-Christ.

They will have to be rounded up and expelled. No, people are **NOT** equal, and I have known that since I was 10.

Is this supposed to be new information? Jihadi terrorists are irrevocably linked to their religion Islam! DUH??? What this article ignores is the low intelligence of the average Muslim (80.5 IQ). You can’t debate, or sensibly discuss, the changes that need to be implemented in Islam. They can only believe that you are lying to them because they are “right” in all things, and a non-Muslim can’t be trusted.The only way out for the western world is to fight fire with fire; Brute force is the only thing they will react to, whether or not they understand why you are forcing them to do anything.

Their fanaticism is what makes these deluded lunatics so dangerous. We protect their rights so they can plot their next jihad attack. And our idiot leaders just keep on trying to understand why they hate us.
