Islam – And What We Must Do About It


A recent article in Human Events has pointed out some misconceptions about “radical Islam” vs. “moderate Islam” – that there is no such thing as “moderate” Islam, but only Islam.  Islam is, in and of itself, NOT moderate, but militantmalevolently militant.  One only has to look at the Koran itself to see this -- and another recent report (not an article, but a YouTube video) has done just that.  The video excerpts several quotations from Suras (chapters) and verses of the Koran.  We have listed them below for the reader's perusal, as follows: the Sura and chapter numbers (written in bold as two numbers, separated by a colon, eg., “2:191”), followed by the passage itself (in italics), and – when appropriate – some parenthetical explanation as to what the passage means (or refers to).  Here are some of those excerpts:

2:191: And fight the infidels, wherever you find them; and expel them from the place they have turned you out from. 2:193: Fight them until idolatry comes to an end, and the law of Allah prevails.  4:24:  Also forbidden are married women, unless they are captives of war: such is the decree of Allah.  (What they’re talking about here is who a man can or cannot have sex with; so what they’re doing is ratifying the rape of women captured in a jihad.)  4:24: They give those of these women you have enjoyed the agreed dower.  It will not be faithful if you have agreed to something else by mutual consent, after having settled the dowry.  Allah is certainly all-knowing and all wise.  (What this verse is doing is ratifying prostitution; if a man pays a woman a “dower” or dowry, i.e., a certain quantity of money, he can have sex with her without obligation.) 4:34 (This is talking to a man, one of whose many wives will not have sex with him willingly):  As for women who you feel are averse, talk to them persuasively, then leave them alone in bed without molesting them, then beat them, then go to bed with them when they are willing.  (This ratifies beating your wife if she won’t have sex with you.)  5:33:  The punishment for those who wage war against Allah and his prophet [Mohammed] is to kill or crucify them, and have a hand on one side and a foot on the other cut off.  8:12:  And Allah said to the angel, ‘I am with you; go and strengthen the faithful.  I shall fill the hearts of the infidels with terror, so smite them on their necks and incapacitate them. (i.e., a  call to behead all infidels)  9:29: Fight those among the People of the Book [i.e., Christians] who do not believe in Allah nor the Last Day, nor forbid what Allah and His Messenger have forbidden, nor embrace the religion of truth [i.e., Islam], until they pay the jizya [tribute] with willing submission and feel themselves subdued.  9:80:  Whether you plead forgiveness for them or not, Allah will not forgive them, even though you plead seventy times, for they disbelieve in Allah and his apostle; and Allah does not show transgressors the way. (A loving, forgiving God?)  13:42:  Sure those who have gone before them did deceive, but Allah is all deceiving, for he has knowledge of what each does. (This is calling God a deceiver and liar, which, of course, implies that Allah’s true identity is Satan.)  23:1:  The true believers will be successful who are humble in their service who shun all frivolities, who strive for betterment, who guard their sex except from their wives and their women slaves of old [This ratifies concubines].  52:24 (regarding man-boy sex):  And young boys, like pearls within their shells, will go around; and 56:17:  Boys of never-ending bloom [pubescence] will pass around them cups and decanters; and then 76:19:  And boys of everlasting youth will go about attending them.  Looking at them, you would think that they were pearls dispersed.   (This is an allusion to the Islamic sponsorship of pedophilia, and of looking on young boys as sex objects.  Most boys in Islamic cultures do not escape childhood without being anally and orally raped, according to speaker.)  55:4: As for your women who have lost hope of menstruation and in case you have doubts, the prescribed period of waiting for them is three months, as also for those who are not menstruating yet. (What this is doing is ratifying the violation of pre-pubescent girls, i.e., pre-puberty girls.)

Allah, then, as is evident from those excerpts (which are just a sampling), is a vengeful, deceiving “God” who justifies (and indeed prescribes) the rape and beating of women, sex with minors, prostitution, wanton slaughter (usually by beheading) of “infidels” (including women and children), and even pedophilia.  Is this the kind of God that IS God?  NO.  The speaker in the video contends that “Allah” is actually Satan; and she is probably right -- for NO God would condone such things and still BE God. 

Islam, both in word and in practice, is EVIL.  The modern, media-orchestrated notion of Islam as “tolerant” is a total MYTH.  Islam never was tolerant – and never will be.  The irony of it all is that these media that portray the Moslems as “tolerant” are, by and large, Zionist controlled – and the Zionists and Moslem Arabs are portrayed as archenemies.  But the truth is, this is only cosmetic: they’re both “on the same team.”  They’re both belligerently vindictive; they’re both not about forgiveness, but about “eye-for-an-eye” retaliation, retribution -- about vengeance; and they’re both out to destroy Christianity, except that the Moslems do it with “swords” (and very clumsily) -- while the Zionists do it with “cash registers” and “Hollywood”  (but much more subtly).

The notion of Moslem “benevolence” is quickly dispelled when sees what they really practice: women are genitally mutilated with the express purpose of maximizing the man’s sexual pleasure -- and the woman’s pain and suffering.  A man can be unfaithful, can fornicate at will, can have limitless “wives,” and can divorce a woman on any pretext – with total impunity.  Yet when a woman does the same, she is beheaded or stoned to death.  A man can wear as much (or as little) as he wants; but a woman, to be a “true” Moslem, must be covered from head to toe -- with a mask over her face.  Young, pre-puberty Moslem girls are routinely “sold” to seedy, middle-aged men as “wives” (that is, to be sex slaves for middle-aged pedophilic perverts).  Indeed, the selling of young girls as sex slaves is big business throughout the Islamic world – an embarrassing, damning reality.

Our media have routinely claimed that in the past, the Moslems came as benevolent, tolerant conquerors, and that Christian conquerors were, in contrast, butchers -- when in fact the opposite was true.  When Moslems conquered Christian lands, they wantonly butchered the “infidels” (as the Koran and “Allah” commanded); and the women were wantonly raped and/or sold as slaves into harems – practices that routinely go on to this day: just recently, reports of whole villages – including women and children -- being slaughtered by Islamic militants (usually by beheading) have been confirmed by independent sources.  And the selling of young girls as sex slaves has already been noted -- a widely recognized (and accepted) practice in Moslem countries throughout the world. 

It is interesting to note, too, what the Islamic notion of Heaven is: in the Koran’s own words, it is a “garden of earthly delights” – a sensual Valhalla where each man is attended to (and sexually satisfied) by “a hundred virgins.”  “Heaven,” then, is little more than an eternal sex orgy, where men are in a never-ending state of hormonal ecstasy – while women are servile non-entities, whose only function there is to provide that ecstasy. Wow!  Any woman who subscribes to that sort of nonsense must be either an IDIOT or (literally) a damned fool  -- and so must any man: to believe that something as accidental as one’s gender rewards the one with eternal bliss while condemning the other to nameless, mindless servitude), is a  notion that is utterly absurd to any rational being.

It is also interesting to note that in the aforementioned YouTube video about Islam, the speaker was a woman – and probably not Catholic at that.  (Actually, she appeared in two videos: the first video dealt with her reply to comments made by U.S. Senator Lindsay Graham (R, South Carolina) on a nationally televised show (Face the Nation), where he proposed restricting Americans from burning the Koran (but said nothing, of course, about Moslems burning our flag and our Bible).  Both videos are excellent, and the woman is very articulate – and brave.  To the tinhorn potentates of Traddieland (such as Daniel Dolan and Anthony Cekada), she probably comes across as a “whining woman” – probably with a “feminist agenda.”  And, being the puritanical prudes that they (and their cultlings) are, they probably “ding” her as well for her “language” (she calls Allah a “sonofabitch” several times during the video, and she uses some “anatomical” metaphors).

But what this woman has is something that Dannie and Tony don’t have: courage and integrity.  She is saying something that should have been said by these two tinhorns a long time ago.  Like the Samaritan in Christ’s parable, she – most probably a protestant, is the good “neighbor” – the true Christian – who deals with issues that really count, while these pharisaic cowards sit on their hands and proselytize about “una cum” and the rest of their letter-of-the-law nonsense.  It is really deplorable for them that it took this “latter-day Samaritan” to “show them the way.”  While they, the “Neros” of traddieland, were “fiddling while Rome was burning,” she was the one “putting out the fire.” She, the “Samaritan,” is more Catholic than they are.

But that’s what the cult-masters are all about: appearances, not reality; protecting turf, not rights; expediency, not truth; and money, not principles.  Just this past week (in his Bishop’s Corner), Dannie once again made the pitch for each cultie family to cough up $20 a month (over and above their usual Sunday donation) for “cost saving arches for the cloister.”  How about “NO arches for the cloister”?  (It already has arches, Dannie!  Why the need for more -- are the old ones crumbling, like the roof is?)

The “religion” of Islam is one of HATE, not love.  Our Lord told Mary Magdalene to “go and sin no more.”  The Moslems would have her stoned to death.  Christianity bids us to forgive our enemies; Islam bids its followers to slay them. Their god “is all deceiving, for he has knowledge of what each does.”  Our God “can neither deceive nor be deceived.”  Our religion protects and dignifies women; theirs treats them as barely tolerated play-things – to be raped and beaten at will, or exploited as prostitutes.  Our heaven is the Beatific Vision; theirs is an endless, sordid male wet dream.  Christianity is the ONLY system of belief that is rational, that makes sense (both philosophically and morally -- that is theologically legitimate.

That being said, there are, to be sure, Moslems out there who are virtuous, well-meaning folks, who ignore the Koran’s more irrational (and hateful) passages.  What they need to do, however, is to not ignore them, but to look at the real evidence of what Islam really says, and then to REJECT it – because its tenets are not only wrong, they are disgusting.  Islam indicts itself with its own words.  But we Catholics must be the ones educating them -- because it won’t happen by itself.  And we must do it not by “the sword” (i.e., narrow-minded, rancorous confrontation and effrontery) -- nor can we win them over by “Franken-pope” accommodation (the “We all worship the same God” approach).  Appeasement and “watering down” one’s beliefs  (or kowtowing to the ignorant) never work.

Instead, we must do it by charitable but direct, rational persuasion – and by Christ-like example.  The “tinhorns of traddieland” need to do this as well – but they won’t. They should be concerning themselves with issues that really count – with the Church’s enemies without – such as Islam (as this woman in the video has done) -- instead of pursuing their own vainglorious goals.  But they won’t – because they are part of the enemy within.  They’re too preoccupied with feeding their flock such heady fodder as, “una cum is a no-no” – and in realizing their own “champagne wished and caviar dreams.”

As Catholics, we must take comfort in Our Lord’s promise that He will be with us “all days, even unto the consummation of the world” and that He will “put enmities between thee [Satan] and the woman [Mary], and thy seed and her seed: she shall crush thy head, and thou shalt lie in wait for her heel.”  These indeed are consoling words: Islam, as well as all other false creeds, will ultimately fall; and Christ’s Church will triumph.  But how will it play out?  To be sure, it won’t “happen” by itself – or overnight.  And it’s also true that today’s inertial, “live and let live” détente won’t do the job either.  That is a “car stuck in neutral.”  That car must go somewhere -- and have a “driver” (or make that the plural: drivers).  But they must be good “drivers” (i.e., priests): selfless men who will “take us to the right destination” – not mammon-craving hucksters who will just “take us for a ride.”  Again, how it will “play out,” only God knows -- but a start must be made.
