Terrorism vs. Terrorists

“Terrorism” is derived from the word “terror” (of Lat. terrere, to frighten), which “in the most general sense … denotes extreme fear, usually stemming from a vaguely defined, relatively unknown and largely unforeseeable threat” (Guillaume, 2004: 537). “Terror” is therefore a state of mind and, at least to some degree, a subjective category (Schmid and Jongman, 2005: 20). Both terms, “terrorism” and “terror,” came to the spotlight of the political discourse during the Jacobin terror period of the French Revolution (1793-1794).

We should fight terrorism, not terrorists. Do you think that sounds absurd? Well, all kinds of well-meaning and not so well-meaning people who are alarmed with Islam’s Mayhem and Murder, Inc., have been proclaiming that their fight is with Islam and not with Muslims.

Who knows what motivates these people and how their system of logic runs. Geert Wilders says that his battle is with Islam and he does not hate the Muslims. No one, please, should take my criticism of Muslims as hating them. I certainly am critical of their belief and feel that Muslims must wake up to the destructive nature of their creed. The Muslims not only need to leave or reform Islam, they owe it to themselves and the rest of humanity to actively work at putting an end to one of humanity’s most harmful dogmas.

In my opinion, Islam is the problem, because there are Muslims who take its holy book, the Quran, as gospel and carry out its divisive and deadly provisions. Without Muslims, Muhammad’s Quran would be just another historic relic sitting on library shelves, next to Hitler’s Mein Kampf, gathering dust, and the criminals of the world would have to find other instruction manuals to guide their activities.

Some people like to burn the Quran. OK, if that makes them feel relaxed. But what good is it to burn the Quran or desecrate it? The fire from burning the Quran only energizes the already zany fanatical believers of Allah to further engage in their world-dismembering acts.

People who keep proclaiming that they have nothing against Islam, but their battle is with Muslim terrorists are an enigma. Perhaps these people are the politically correct; the delusional who rearrange reality to their fancy, or the naïve who are incapable of dealing with facts. These people are either incapable or do not want to see that it is the Muslims, the active jihadists as well as their masses of supporters, who are and remain culprits committing much of what is repugnant and harmful to civilized humanity.

If the fight is with Islam and not with Muslims, then in the interests of fairness, we must apply the same standards to other criminality.

We should condemn arson, but not arsonists; rape, not rapists; theft, not thieves; murder, not murderers; and all other forms of crimes, but not the people who commit them.

Terrorism has no external reality without terrorists. For as long as there are people who cling no matter how loosely or tightly to Islam, humanity, including Muslims, stands to suffer the consequences. Yet sadly, many Muslims refuse to recognize the fact that it is their sickly belief system that is at the core of leading them astray and inflicting great harm to all.

It is foolish to wage battle against beliefs that promote mayhem and murder while giving a free pass to those who adhere to those beliefs and whether or not carry out their dogma.

“When your Lord revealed to the angels: I am with you, therefore make firm those who believe. I will cast terror into the hearts of those who disbelieve. Therefore, strike off their heads and strike off every fingertip of them.” Quran 8.12

I fully realize that not every Muslim is a card-carrying hell-bent jihadist. Yet by being a Muslim, the individual, willingly or unwillingly, directly or indirectly, empowers the zealot jihadist Muslims who live and die to further the cause of Islam.

In what way does your average peaceful Muslim support the work of the not too insignificant cadre of Islamist terrorists, you may ask? In multiple ways. For one, by paying his religiously required tax, known as Khums (one-fifth of his income) to the imams and mullahs. What do the Islamic clerics do with the funds? They make a very good living by not breaking a sweat while day and night preaching hatred of non-Muslims and training wave after wave of impressionable young as soldiers of Allah.

These clerical parasites are equal opportunity haters and promoters of violence. They do not limit their campaign only against all non-Muslims. They even exhort their happy jihadists to wage war against each other whenever it suits them and they can get away with it.

Just look at what is happening these days in the lands of the religion of peace. In Iran, Saudi Arabia, Syria, Sudan, Iraq, Pakistan, Bahrain, and even the Islamic showcases such as Egypt and Turkey. Repression and slaughter are in full operation.

Syria’s in-power Alawites and their Shiite allies are engaged in shocking butchery of the Sunnis, even under the eyes of the impotent United Nations observers. In one recent brutal attack by the Alawites forces of President Bashar Assad, some 90 people, including many children, were murdered.

I hardly need tally the criminality and horrors of these Muslim-inspired regimes. Peace, tolerance and respect for others are alien to the followers of Muhammad, no matter which sect they belong to and irrespective of where in the world they live. No sooner in power, in any place, they shamelessly and brutally begin their mayhem and murderous practices.

This primitive chauvinistic creed is custom-made for the savage male, where women are systematically abused in every imaginable way. Not only women are officially worth one-half of a man, they are to serve as a man’s property in the tragically ordained manner. Four women to a man in regular marriage and as many women as a man wishes in temporary marriages. Woe upon a woman who thinks of herself as an equal-rights human and violates these Islamic draconian laws. Honor killing awaits the fate of any woman who steps outsides Islam’s misogynistic boundaries.

Give the ringleaders of this creed of violence credit. They have perfected their skills at their trade of spreading Islam, the means of making their parasitic living.

These so-called clerics make “good” use of the funds they extract from their followers. For one, they buy the ever ready-for-purchase politicians to further their cause through legislation that would muzzle freedom of expression by any voice that dares to expose Islam for what it is.

For yet another, with their coffers flush with funds, the clerics enlist lawyers and launch lawsuits to destroy any person who speaks the truth about their barbaric beliefs and practices.

For another, they intimidate businesses that in any way fail to toe their line by boycotting their products and services. They force other businesses to withdraw their advertisements from any print or electronic medium that may report honestly about the horrors of their belief.

Tolerance is a great social virtue that becomes vice if extended to those who do not practice it and to criminals who take advantage of this noble human attribute. Muslims are the most oppressive and intolerant people of the world and they justify their intolerance on the teachings of their holy book, the Quran.

Persecution of religious minorities in Islamic states is legend. Yet these very intolerant people come to the welcoming Western countries and demand one-sided tolerance from their hosts. Over time, these Muslims increase their demands to the point of aiming to subvert the civilized hosts and transform them to their failed savage system ruled by the Sharia Law.

Keep in mind that Islam operates by stealth when not yet quite powerful, just the way Muhammad himself operated. Then, gradually builds its power to the point that the soft approach no longer is necessary to subdue others and impose its will.

The stealth soft strategy is presently playing out in the United States. Islam’s tentacles are expanding into the body of this free and welcoming nation. In 2000, there were 1209 mosques in the United States of America. By 2010, the number has almost doubled and now almost tripled by why!!

If nothing is done, before very long, we end up facing the Islam Mayhem and Murder, Inc. operating with its full evil force.

Islam is a bad idea, and Muslims are guilty of living by it and promoting it. Some Muslims take up arms, following the examples of Islam’s founder, Muhammad, in their aim to vanquish non-Muslims. Other Muslims empower the frontline jihadist by supplying them with material support and manpower. In the same manner that an army can’t fight without the essential logistics supplied them by civilians, the soldiers of Allah will be incapable of waging their death and destruction campaign without the support of the generality of Muslims. It is long overdue that Muslims be held accountable for the so-called religious belief that controls their actions: actions aimed at destroying anything and anyone non-Muslim.

It is imperative that we see reality and deal with it. No euphemism, no sugarcoating, no politically correct posturing. It is time to abandon all pretenses and place the blame where it belongs. It is the Mayhem and Murder Islam, Inc. that is breeding terrorists. Without Islam, there would be no Islamic terrorists.

Islam is bad idealogy of terror. And they know how to buy out the political , media elites and clergy to takeover non-muslim lands.

Finally Vatican Bishop confesses: “Senior Catholic officials are being paid off by George Soros to promote mass Muslim migration into Europe” https://tinyurl.com/y7hllebo

If only the Christians and other enemies of Islam had been more alert and united back then, when Muhammad and his followers first tried to wage jihad against the disbelievers. Perhaps they could have ended the threat before it ever began.

You’re forgetting that in 1095 much of Europe did unite after about 400 years of Muslim aggression against southern Europe and the invasion of Spain, and conducted the Crusades that had varying degrees of success and failure. Initial Muslim success stemmed from the reality that before the Arab hoard rampaged out of Arabia in 634AD, the Byzantine Empire and the Persian Empire had fought a 20 year war, were exhausted and ripe for defeat by the fresh Muslims. In addition a plague had wiped out a huge number in the Byzantine Empire. Both the major Muslim empires in time failed, the Ottomans finally during the first world war, but have got a new lease on life while much of the West has degenerated into a state of gutlessness.

I still don’t understand how the Christians ultimately lost the Crusades though.

THE MUSLIM BROTHERHOOD IN FRANCE
https://www.bitchute.com/video/FCthViAU9YYW/

Background;

A Channel 10 journalist, Zvi Yehezkeli has assumed a new identity to report from behind the front lines on the goings-on of the Muslim Brotherhood.

A dangerous mission
Yehezkeli is a Jewish-Israeli reporter who speaks flawless Arabic and took the name Abu Hamza to infiltrate the Muslim Brotherhood ranks and report–via hidden microphones and cameras–on their activities. He did so throughout Europe and as far as the United States for a five-part series titled “False Identity.”

The first installment focuses on the Muslim community in Paris. Yehezkeli believes it’s important for the Western world to see what goes on behind closed doors and to get a glimpse of a world many do not see.

But it wasn’t without its danger. He said there were times when he feared for his life and came close to being caught.

Rampant extremism
What Yehezkeli found was rampant extremism from such figures as Yusuf al-Qaradawi, a cleric who is not allowed to enter these countries. Yehezkeli said that there is much doublespeak in the community–in mosques and schools. The extremist factions try to control the Muslim communities in France–and elsewhere–from afar.

“Islam is a legitimate faith like any other faith in the world,” Yehezkeli told the Jerusalem Post, “until the moment when its politics and organizations try to force an extremist version of Islam on other Muslims. This is one of the problems of the Muslim Brotherhood… There’s a reason they’ve been thrown out of Arab countries; there’s a reason they’re operating now in the West.”

Popular Arab affairs correspondent Zvi Yehezkeli went undercover in Muslim pockets in Europe to film the “quiet bomb” – his name for the expansion of the Muslim Brotherhood – from a Muslim perspective • “ISIS is a pimple; Muslim Brotherhood is cancer.”

Terror is a condition. To comprehend
it, go to quranx.com/ click the Full Search tab and enter “hoary”. The hadith is about the last day, when Allah comes to condemn you to the fire but it describes the condition Muslims wish to impose in page 59 of “The Quranic Concept Of War”.

Terrorism is a tactic, not an enemy. You can not fight it. You can not use it against Muslims ‘cuz their Iman makes them invulnerable to it as per pg. 60 of “The Quranic Concept Of War”.

Islam entails Jihad. Jihad entails terrorism. Allah commands it, Allah did it, Allah awards Brownie Points for it and Moe did it too, for Muslims to emulate.

Believers perform Jihad. Only those who do it are believers! Solution: destroy their Iman!!! Make them quit believing. Make them doubt. Make them ashamed to be associated with Allah & Moe. Or make them dead.

Get a clue! Read Surahs Al-Anfal & At-Taubah, then go to the internet archive and read Volume 4 of Sahih Bukhari. You can find links in my series: “Why Peace Is Impossible” at Islam Exposed.

The title is what drew me to read within. I won’t speculate as to what, if anything, Mr. Imani has read written by myself on this subject, the differences between the “-ism” and the “-ist.”

I found my head spinning uncontrollably some point within the piece, which is, perhaps, equally as dangerous as my head exploding, for which I have duct tape handy at all times to prevent. The spinning head remains unsolved–beware!

Let me simplify, no? Yes. (I’ll be quoting myself, which means it’s a very bad day.)

When within the classroom and the task is to discuss Communism, that particular “-ism”, for example, should we discuss the theory, the doctrine, the form of government, as found in a textbook or discuss the numerous, real-world, actual instances throughout history and presently?

Put another way, to what end would we discuss only the theory, excluding the actual, numerous instances? We call that, “academic exercise.”

Let’s agree on this one thing: anything we decide must be destroyed, eradicated, eliminated (or modified) is worthy of condemnation.

Let’s agree on this other thing: We all ought to be judged by our actions.

B-b-b-b-b-but scherado, which should we fight, the terrorist or terrorism?

Well, how, by what means would we combat the -ism? One might attempt to persuade the “keepers of the faith” that they ought to modify the doctrine. If I were attempting to modify Catholicism, then I would go to the Vatican and begin persuading. Is there such an entity representing Islam? Given the Sunni-Shia divide, I think not. Let’s suppose one faction defeats the other. How far would one get attempting to persuade the keepers of the faith, Sunni or Shia? From what we’ve seen to date, nowhere.

At this point, it seems we ought to condemn, without loosing any sleep or twisting ourselves into logical pretzels, the ones whose actions garner the label “terrorist.”

I rest my case, without pay. “Thank me!” (Mark Levin)
