Followers of Islam: do you see the blood on your hands?
Since the events of September 11, 2001, we Americans have spent much
time reassuring Muslims that we are sure that the radical among them
is a small number. President Bush has repeatedly stated that a small
number of fanatics have "hijacked" a peaceful religion. But is Islam a
"peaceful" religion?
A Palestinian murderer shows off the blood of an Israeli civilian murdered by a Palestinian mob. Certainly there are a few Muslims would have a problem with actually
beheading another human being or slitting a toddler's throat but there
are many Muslims who find nothing wrong with this behavior. They read
their Quran and agree that it is all justified. Indeed, if one reads
the Quran, just about everything from slavery to pedophilia to rape is
justified. The only thing that matters is who is doing what to whom.
If it is a Muslim beheading an infidel then it has Allah's blessing
and thus is perfectly legal and is encouraged.
From the Quran: Surah 4: Women Have no unbelieving friends. Kill the
unbelievers wherever you find them. From the Quran: Surah 5: The Table
Spread Christians will be burned in the Fire. Christians are wrong
about the Trinity. For that they will have a painful doom. From the
Quran: Surah 2: The Cow War is ordained by Allah. Do these words addressed to
believers of Islam in the Quran sound very peaceful to you?

For the past several months I have been having a rather one-sided
conversation with a Muslim in London who writes about the joys of
killing Americans, his fellow Brits as well as Jews and Christians. He
speaks endlessly about what animals we Americans are. This
conversation has been one-sided because all Yamin Zakaria ever does is
send me his hate-filled rantings that justify absolutely everything
the butchers in Iraq inflict on the civilian population. Yamin has
gone so far as to condemn the most respected Islamic leaders in Iraq.
According to Yamin, "Inside Iraq, the Shia Ulemas (scholars) like
Sistani and the Kurdish leaders driven by their narrow tribal,
sectarian and self-centered interests are collaborating with the
Americans." For their dealings "with the devil" they will pay a high
price. Zakaria continues: "We as Muslims are obliged to support our
Mujahideen; we should pray for their victory they are our boys!"
I always respond asking Yamin if he is bursting with pride over the
deaths of a busload of small Iraqi children at the hands of his
"friends" but he never answers. I ask if he is proud that his
"friends" have dragged Iraqi policemen out into the street with their
hands tied behind their backs and then executed them for all to see.
But he has no answers. He just sends more of his columns with titles
such as: "The Satanic Christians of the USA" and "The Final Solution
(Endl๖sung) for Fallujah and Ramadi." You see, all is justified in the
Quran. The killing of one of his "boys" is an outrage. The suicide
bomber who kills women and children is a hero.
Living in London, Yamin is quite safe. His family is safe. Zakaria can
sit in the safety of his London home and write whatever he wishes.
What he wishes to do is be a cheerleader for the killing, the
slaughter, the executions and beheadings because he doesn't have to do
any of it. No one will come and ask him to send his son out to be a
suicide bomber or ask him to prove his loyalty by executing a
three-year-old Jewish toddler. Yamin posts his hate-filled words on an
Islamic blog and Islamic web sites and he is regarded as insightful
and brilliant by the followers of Islam that read them. The question
in my mind is this: is he and others like him any less guilty than
those carrying out these heinous acts? Is there any less blood on
their hands just because they don't pull the trigger or plant the
bomb?
Yamin writes, "One can accept the direct loss of life in the course of
battle. But when prisoners of war and the general civilian population
are gratuitously subjected to torture, abuse and execution, this can
only be classified as sheer barbarism, propelled by the innate racism
and hatred rather than the heightened instinct of survival produced in
battle." Is Zakaria referring to the crimes of Saddam Hussein or his
sons? Is he pointing out the crimes of his "boys" who are killing
fellow Muslims all over the world? Perhaps Yamin is referring to the
bombings in Spain or Bali or the genocide in Sudan? Of course he is
not. Those attacks are repeatedly praised as great victories. Yamin
dwells on the crimes of a few soldiers in the Abu Ghraib prison. His
logic is this: If the world would just accept Islam, his "boys"
wouldn't have to kill everyone. Therefore, it's our fault. Islam's
hands are clean.
The torture and murders carried out at the command and pleasure of
Saddam, a Muslim, is never addressed. The videos of arms and legs
being hacked off, tongues being cut out, and men being thrown off four
story buildings, are never mentioned. However, discussed at great
length is the fact that some Muslim men had underwear put on their
heads. Yamin insists that the Geneva Convention was ignored but the
Geneva Convention apparently does not apply to the terrorists. It is
their right to behead members of the Iraqi National Guard and innocent
civilian hostages. The Quran says so.
Yamin ignores that the American soldiers involved in those prison
crimes will collectively spend decades in prison. Pay no mind to the
tens of thousands that went into that prison under Saddam and were
never seen again. Don't look at those mass graves full of infants
buried alive under their executed mothers or view the pictures of the
thousands of gassed Kurds. No, pay no attention to the crimes of a
Muslim. Muslims never commit crimes. All is justified in the name of
Allah.
Certainly there are a few Muslims would have a problem with actually
beheading another human being or slitting a toddler's throat but there
are many Muslims who find nothing wrong with this behavior. They read
their Quran and agree that it is all justified. Indeed, if one reads
the Quran, just about everything from slavery to pedophilia to rape is
justified. The only thing that matters is who is doing what to whom.

This Muslim decries the fact that uncivilized Americans fire on
mosques! We even have blown up a few of them. The fact that they are
anything but holy places is ignored. When a mosque becomes an
ammo-dump where terrorists hide, even under the rules of the Geneva
Convention, it is fair game. When snipers hide in the towers, I assure
you that tower will soon be rubble. What Yamin seems to forget is that
we Christians leveled churches in World War II that had become havens
from which the enemy chose to wage war. (Actually we can win this war
when we start levelling mosques not because the terrorists are hiding
in there, but because they are signposts of an evil ideology called
Islam - WoJ)
