The most important thing is to tell the truth no matter how much they shout "Islamophobia!"

The media and most of our so-called "leaders" still refuse to tell the truth that Islamic terrorism is caused by Islam itself.

Some countries in Europe have gone so far as to make it illegal to tell the truth about Islam. It takes courage to fight Islamic bombs and hate with mere words of sincere honesty, especially when you will be mocked by the media, perhaps fired from your job, and maybe even fined or imprisoned.

Bogus arguments that you can easily refute:

  • "Saying bad things about Islam is Islamophobic".

    What if those things are true, and well documented by Muslims themselves? Doesn't that make Muslim apologists Truthophobic?

  • "Islamic terrorism is caused mostly by US policy in the Mideast"

    Then how do you explain Islamic murder of random innocent people in Denmark, Sweden, Germany, Argentina, Russia, Nigeria, Kenya, India, China, Thailand, Bali, the Phillipinies, etc? They had nothing to do with US policy in the Mideast.

    It is, however, valid to point out that Islamic terror in each country generally followed Saudi funding of Wahhabi madrassas (Koranic schools) in that country, and that America always supports Saudi Arabia no matter what they do. So it is Americas fault to some degree, for supporting Saudi Arabia. And it is also true that George W Bush's attack on Iraq in bogus "retaliation" for the Saudi attack on America on 9/11 greatly inflamed the existing problem. Bush should be in jail for starting a war under false pretenses.

  • "American wars are also terrorism"

    No, terrorism is the deliberate murder of random unarmed civilians. America does not try to kill civilians. If we did try, they would all be dead.

    The only reason we are not all dead is that the Islamic world is so weak and ineffective.

  • "Islamic terrorism is caused by inequality and poverty"

    Not it's not. Most terrorists are fairly well educated and not poor. In fact, propensity to Islamic terrorism increases with income and education. Osama bin Laden was very rich.

    Islamic terrorism is motivated mainly by a desire to prove devotion to Islam to other Muslims, and to one's family. "See, look how many kuffar I killed! Aren't you proud?" The horrifying part is that most so-called "moderate" Muslims and the families of terrorists are indeed proud of the terrorists for "fighting back" against dirty unbelievers by killing random unarmed civilians, such as teen girls in Manchester.

  • "Muslims used to be more peaceful, so it's something we've done to them."

    No, Muslims were always this way. What's different is that now they can use the Internet, and especially YouTube, to share and amplify their resentment of all non-Muslims and their bomb-making techniques. Google helps terrorists by spreading terrorist ideology via YouTube.

    If you've done anything to offend Muslims, it's simply being part of a successful, generally happy and tolerant non-Muslim society, clearly proving that Islam is not only unnecessary, but obviously a huge impediment to success, happiness, and tolerance.

    "In March 1786, Thomas Jefferson and John Adams went to London to negotiate with Tripoli's envoy, ambassador Sidi Haji Abdrahaman (or Sidi Haji Abdul Rahman Adja). When they enquired "concerning the ground of the pretensions to make war upon nations who had done them no injury", the ambassador replied:

    "It was written in their Koran, that all nations which had not acknowledged the Prophet were sinners, whom it was the right and duty of the faithful to plunder and enslave; and that every mussulman who was slain in this warfare was sure to go to paradise. He said, also, that the man who was the first to board a vessel had one slave over and above his share, and that when they sprang to the deck of an enemy's ship, every sailor held a dagger in each hand and a third in his mouth; which usually struck such terror into the foe that they cried out for quarter at once.[25]

    Jefferson reported the conversation to Secretary of Foreign Affairs John Jay, who submitted the ambassador's comments and offer to Congress. Jefferson argued that paying tribute would encourage more attacks."

    Note the year, 1786. The Constitution was created in 1787, and ratified in 1788. The reason we have a Constitutional republic is largely to enable Congress to raise an army and navy, and the reason America needed that was largely because Islam says what it says.

    See https://patrick.net/1306992/2017-06-05-saudi-arabia-egypt-bahrain-uae-cuts-off-diplomatic-relations-with-qatar#comment-1416821

  • "Christians are terrorists too"

    So rarely as to make the comparison comical. The difference is about 1,000-fold. For every Christian attack on an abortion clinic there are about 1,000 Islamic attacks on random people. See http://www.thereligionofpeace.com/

  • "Christianity also teaches evil things"

    No, Jesus himself did not rob, rape, or kill anyone. Mohammed robbed, raped, and killed lots of people. For just one example of many, Mohammed murdered Safiya's father, then tortured her husband to death to get him to tell the location of his money, then raped her the same day, according to Islamic history.
    There is no exhortation to hate in the New Testament, but butt-hurt resentment of non-Muslims is the main theme of the Koran and the hadith. See https://patrick.net/Islam

    It is true that the Old Testament has some similarities to Islam in its very harsh punishments for violating its rules, and some genocidal wars.

  • "Islam is tolerant of other religions"

    No, Islam allows Jews and Christians to remain alive (outside of Saudi Arabia) but only if they pay an annual ransom (jizya) to Muslims under deliberately humiliating conditions, and "feel themselves subdued". Hindus, athiests, and members of other religions are officially not allowed to live at all, and must be killed, according to Islam. No other religion is allowed to exist in Saudi Arabia. No synagogues or churches, no torahs or bibles allowed.

    Anyone who leaves Islam must also be killed, according to Islam. And this is actually the law in many Islamic countries.

  • "But Jesus is part of Islam too"

    Not the same "Jesus" at all. Muslims believe that Jesus was a Muslim first of all, and was never crucified and reject the whole story about his redeeming mankind with his own sacrifice. They also believe he will come back in the final days to kill the Jews. They use the name "Isa" and say he is the same Jesus, but he's obviously a totally different guy with far different ideals. They do not include the gospels at all in their beliefs.

  • "But I have good Muslim friends. They would not murder people."

    Of course, most Muslims are better human beings than Muslims. If they are friends with you at all, they are already violating Islam, for the Koran says (5:51) - "O you who believe! do not take the Jews and the Christians for friends. It's good to be friends with them, and to tell them the truth about Islam because they will listen if you are friendly and don't make it about them personally.

  • "Muslims tell me that Islam doesn't teach those awful things"

    Lying to non-Muslims is officially a praiseworthy part of being a Muslim. Muslims are encouraged to lie about anything that makes Islam look bad. You can easily look up the truth for yourself. See http://www.thereligionofpeace.com/ for a good introduction to the truth.

  • "Terrorist are not real Muslims"

    Sorry, but they are actually very authentic Muslims doing what their religion commands them to do. Who are you to tell them they are not Muslim? They are giving their lives for Islam by killing unbelievers. At least they are honest about it. If they are not Islamic, then Mohammed was not Islamic either. The head of ISIS has a PhD in Islamic studies. He knows exactly what he's doing and why.

    If someone says "radical Islam", you should ask them which version of the Koran these radicals are reading and acting on. Is it any different from the moderate Muslims' Koran?

  • "Most Muslims are not terrorists"

    True, but most terrorists are indeed Muslim, and most "moderate" Muslims have sympathy for radical Muslims' terrorist attacks. And so we have the saying "Radical Muslims want to kill you. Moderate Muslims want radical Muslims to kill you."

  • "It's racist to talk about the connection between Islam and terrorism."

    No it isn't. Islam has made murderers out of people of all races. It's very egalitarian that way. Chinese Muslims murder random non-Muslims in China, and Nigerian Muslims murder random non-Muslims in Nigeria. The only thing they have in common is the Islamic teaching to hate and murder non-Muslims.

  • "We need to open our doors to refugees"

    No, Muslim countries need to open their doors to Muslim refugees, especially oil-rich Muslim countries. The majority of so-called "refugees" are angry young men looking for easy money and easy women in the West. The legitimate Muslim refugees are nonetheless still infected with a very dangerous virus of the mind, and their children often grow up with hate for the host countries that generously took in their parents, such as the Manchester bomber who blew up all those teen girls.

  • "The principal victims of Islam are other Muslims"

    This is true. But we are talking about protecting ourselves from Islam here.

  • "You're more likely to get attacked by a shark than murdered by a terrorist"

    Nope, there are only about 20 shark attacks per year, and Islamic terrorist attacks kill tens of thousands worldwide and are increasing exponentially.

  • "The constitution forbids excluding Muslims based on religion"

    No, the constitution forbids the government from establishing a state religion. Non-citizens may be excluded from entry for any reason or no reason at all. Islam is more than just a religion. It is a violent subversive political movement which demands that secular government be overthrown and replaced with sharia. We banned communists for decades for much less violence and subversion.

  • "It's pointless and dangerous to offend a billion Muslims"

    No, it's more dangerous to shut up and let your family and civilization die because you were merely too sensitive to speak the truth in time. Muslims are human beings. Deep in their core they know that there is something very wrong with Islam, and they need encouragement from millions of honest people to admit this so that they can free themselves and rejoin the rest of humanity. If you speak with respect and sincerity, they are likely to listen.

    They never hear the truth about Islam in their home countries, so it's up to us. Speak up or die.

  • "There is nothing you can do"

    OK, then Islamic atrocities are now to be expected and tolerated and there is no reason to be alarmed. Please continue moving toward the slaughterhouse in an orderly manner.

Here are some nonviolent ways we can end Islamic terrorism in the West: End all Islamic immigration, instantly revoke citizenship and deport all members of the extended families of anyone who commits terrorism in the West (this idea was proposed by an English Muslim in the wake of the Manchester bombing), allow freedom of speech about Islam, and stop teaching that Islam is a religion of peace, because it is not. And Trump has a good line: Islamic terrorists are losers, so call them that.

If you want to take the long view, stop using foreign oil, and demand that we cut off all diplomatic relations with the ultimate source of almost all terrorism: Saudi Arabia.

Your comment above illustrates what I meant when I said you answer usually with hate. Especially when proven obviously wrong, you explode emotionally into baseless name-calling. Instead of using evidence and reason, you try to insult people and tell everyone else what they need to do. Perhaps you should get your own house in order before you start pointing your finger at everyone else.

" you answer usually with hate"

THat's funny coming from you.

No, I don't hate assholes and idiots, but I know them when I see them.

Actually, when you collapse into calling me names because you cannot respond with evidence and reason

But it's amazing that you want to say I resort to name calling. I dare you to look at the first argument you made with me in recent weeks. Could you argue with my point without going in to how much you hate me ? Truly. You know. You won't check it, because you know what you would find. On some level you know you're a dysfunctional and childish asshole.

Ah, Patrick, I do not mean to claim that YOU deem muslims to be sub-human people. There are however a not insignificant fraction of Americans that do. Including many that call them sandniggers and goatfuckers. Most would not outright use the phrase subhuman, of course, but what is the difference?

That being said, is it always true that the common people are innocent when their rulers kill lots of other people? In some cases they elected those rulers and did not speak up against the killing, for various reasons.

I hate killing, whether it is a random farmer in Afghanistan or a random person in the West.

I know you have no love for Bush, Patrick. I know you wish war did not happen. I am saying that it is not surprising that some people are filled with hate and want to kill, and that our wars and unrestrained self-worship are a BIG part of the problem. In my view, one cannot claim that Islam being a flawed religion is what is causing this.

Marcus, I don't hate you, nor even call you names. In that comment, I pointed out why you were wrong, and criticized your endless name-calling. You do usually comment emotionally, mainly with hate and trolling, including name-calling and profanity, as above. Anyway this thread isn't about either of us. Please try to post comments relevant to the topic of the thread, rather than asking other people questions about your own butt-hurt feelings.

It's the first time you had argued with me in a while (God knows you should be on ignore if only the ignore feature still existed). Because unlike you, that's what I do if I don't like or respect another person on the forum. You're such a liar. 99% of the time I have used the term dimbulb, it's in generic reference to the half of the right wing that truly are dimbulbs. It's understood where I'm coming from on that.

curious2 says

Fucking liar.

If you weren't such a liar, you would admit that the only time I resort to calling individuals names is when it's in response to a troll or name calling towards me, in your case a troll that was obsessed with me for a while, following me around trying to get in fights with me, becasue that time I embarrassed you many years ago.

Yes you do hate me. You're a small hateful pathetic childish person, and I would greatly appreciate it if you would fuck off and leave me alone.

FortWayne says

Our founders were moral Christian men, and our laws and everything is based on those underlying principles.

The founding fathers based the governement on the Age of Enlightenment, not the Iron Age during which Christ allegedly lived. Here are their very words.

“The government of the United States is not, in any sense, founded on the Christian religion.”

- John Adams

"The day will come when the mystical generation of Jesus by the Supreme Being in the womb of a virgin, will be classed with the fable of the generation of Minerva in the brain of Jupiter. ... But we may hope that the dawn of reason and freedom of thought in these United States will do away with all this artificial scaffolding...."

- Thomas Jefferson

"The government of the United States is not, in any sense, founded on the Christian religion."

- U.S. Treaty with Tripoli, 179...

You are picking and choosing alternative facts Dan. Because they all refer to founding fathers saying they don't want to establish any national religion. But the principles, the founding principles are very much Christian. They were very progressive for it's time, because Christian principles are ahead of the times even today because of the love it preaches.

If world followed it, you'd have no wars, you'd have no poverty. We'd have a paradise on earth.

PATRICK BRING BACK IGNORE - and not just for a month at a time !!

Triggered. At least you don't believe what Islam says, or you might have detonated. You remind me of the Santa Barbara Muslim couple, who accelerated their murderous and self-destructive rampage reportedly because somebody said something about the guy's beard. They had been planning an even bigger attack, with bombs, but couldn't restrain themselves.

I do see that you can't stand being proven wrong, and the cognitive dissonance hurts you so much that you explode emotionally and demand someone else save you from yourself. I hope you can see how you have illustrated the problem with importing people who believe what Islam says. When they explode, they take others with them, because the phony promise of eternal paradise with 72 whores and a kingdom from Syria to Yemen seems so much better than having to reason based on evidence.

As for what you can do to stop Islamic terrorism, you've demonstrated part of the answer. People who believe what Islam says should not be imported into western countries, where they risk exposure to facts that might hurt their feelings. You've shown that some people can't handle that experience, and explode in whatever way seems ready to hand: lying and name-calling and profanity for you, and lethal weapons for Muslims. People who believe what Islam says should be encouraged to go to Mecca, and prohibited from returning.

Why is it not terrorism for Christian nations (US and so many European allies) to bomb and shoot and maim and kill rampantly all over the middle east for the last 15 years, for no valid moral reason, in fact mostly for all kinds of morally reprehensible real reasons that are rarely spoken.

I'll expand on this a bit. You seem to be implying that the terrorism is a war tactic, which I believe a lot of it is. It is part command and control war tactic, and part spreading a viral thought pattern, which like bio-terrorism can take on a 'life' of it's own. Monkeys are smart enough not to attack a big monkey head on. They will just terrorize the big monkey's family. Human's are certainly this smart. When they or their tribe is getting bullied, they will find a way to strike back as a means of deterrence. We of course want them to fight on our terms following international law. But I wouldn't do that if I were them. That'd be like leading your flock to the slaughterhouse.
One can argue that it is immoral to intentionally kill civilians, and we do not do that. Hell, we do as much as we can at great expense to avoid it. The counter arguments are that we did Hiroshima. We dropped napalm. We use smartbombs now, because we have them. We have not always had the luxury of being so discriminate. Russia is less so today. Even with all of our efforts, estimates of the number of killed due to the Iraq war were in the 500K to 1MM range many years ago. Those calculations were based on the death rates pre and post war. If one attributes that war with the rise of ISIS, we can drive up the cost of that catastrophe, can't we.
One can argue that it is Islam that causes terrorism. Well, the Irish found a way to justify terrorism for a while, didn't they? Perhaps Islam makes a much more ready excuse than Catholicism. I would say that there doesn't always have to be one cause for things. It always amazes me how people like to attribute a single cause.

89   anonymous   2017 May 26, 6:17am  

But let's waste time by debating the evil of Christianity

-------------

Why are actual, tangible, resolvable problems always a "waste of time" or "impossible ", to the same people expending most of their energy bloviating about a problem absent a solution, a world away?

There's a saying that "those who live in glass houses, shouldn't throw stones". Why not make America a place worth saving, before embarking on such a complex and likely impossible journey to eradicate Islam? Let's clean house here at home first. Save this country and it's people from all the horrors we suffer from here at home, at the hands of Christians that have infected our government. Then we can go abroad and start solving other people's problems by sending other peoples sons off to war, to fight the war that the keyboard warrior Trumpcucks are demanding after consuming all the MIC propaganda?

90   anonymous   2017 May 26, 6:34am  

Arguing that we should embrace Christianity because it's better than Islam is like arguing we should embrace rape because its better than murder. That's a false choice. Lesser evils enable greater evils. The police call this The Broken Window Theory. It applies to religion and all irrational superstitious nonsense as well.

91   anonymous   2017 May 26, 6:42am  

Since "Christian" defines as "follower of Christ," and you're not following Christ when you commit atrocities (even if you claim to be doing His work), then I fail to see your point!

-------------

Fail. Go to any prison, and you will meet the most devout Christians, who just so happen to be the worst of the worst, convicted criminals. Coincidence?

This is the fatal flaw in Christianity, and any American who feels the need to participate in religion, would be best served to revert back to the Quaker brand of Christianity. The Friends parse out the nonsense that makes Christianity such a terrible religion, in true American fashion. They take personal responsibility for their actions , absolving themselves from the shortcomings of modern American Christianity. Their relationship with God is an inter-personal experience, and they don't subjugate themselves to the false prophets that rape and molest the children of the Christian rubes.

Christianity is not "rape". That's a really bad analogy. Christianity is the only thing that keeps our nation together, with forgiveness and second chances. You have to understand that those good "American values" are coming from "Christianity", they are Christian values. You take Christianity out, you get a whole lot of Donald Trumps and alike, because that is what happens when someone worships narcissism and dollars instead of the all loving, all forgiving lord.

Let's apply this No True Scottsman argument to Islam.

Islam is a religion of peace. Therefore when you cannot be a Muslim if you commit atrocities even if you clam to be doing Allah's work. So stop blaming Islam for all the Islamic terrorism.

The problem with your argument is your initial premise! It's demonstrably true that Islam is NOT a religion of peace, and anyone with half an eye cracked or greater than 25% hearing ability would know this fact to be absolutely true. How can a religion be peaceful when it's unquestioned core tenets are jihad and murder of outsiders and unbelievers or apostates or people who draw a damned cartoon of Mohammed!? I remain certain that you are capable of reason, even though this argument is sheer Marcus territory.

There is indeed a failure here, and it's a failure to understand. I'll blame myself this time for not explaining well enough.
If you are a follower of Christ, you follow His teachings and example. When you are NOT following that example, you are not a following Christ! The prisoners in your example who have committed heinous acts and subsequently turned to follow Christ ARE followers of Christ because it's not your history that defines this, it's your dedication to His story! Your will and your choices determine if you are a follower, not your birth, ancestry, family associations, or even whether you attend a church.

You are picking and choosing alternative facts Dan.

You are outright lying. I've quoted the founding father's exact words describing how America has nothing to do with Christianity and is not based on it. The very words of the persons you're trying to make your case contradict your case.

There have been many societies founded on Christianity; they all sucked. Just look at the Dark Ages.

America and the rest of the western world only became successful when the power of Christianity was greatly reduced. As time went on and Christianity waned, the western world became better. There is a direct and obvious correlation between rejection of Christianity and all other religions, and the quality of life in a society. This correlation continues today. The causality is clearly proven because rejection of religion allows us to advance science and technology, and those two things are responsible for everything good in our society.

What if you already are, for most intents and purposes?

Promote rationality, including atheism, and point out the stupidity and dangers of religions. Don't be silent against these injustices. Silence allows problems to fester.

Correct....exponentially lesser

Irrelevant. It's still the same fundamental problem. Religion is a cancer. It spreads and mutates. Remember, Islam was created from Judaism and Christianity. If those two religions did not exist, Islam never would have existed.

It's demonstrably true that Islam is NOT a religion of peace,

It's demonstrably true that Christianity is NOT a religion of peace. Just look at the 2000 year history of the religion. For most of the time, it's been every bit as violent as Islam. Counting up centuries of violence, Christianity is actually worse than Islam. Hell, if we gave Islam another 700 years, I'm sure it would become like Christianity is today. Might as well give both religions the same amount of time to mature, right?

Again, what's the upside to tolerating either religion?
