Contrast what you see here with your standard Christian Sunday bible school class.
Religion of peace, my ass.
Muslim apologist, agitator activist and ambulance chaser attorney, Junaid Afeef, was poking his nose into the land of Sass here, doing the usual Muslim whine without offering any refutations or viable arguments to support his accusations.
This article/essay is full of errors.
Your understanding of Islam is woefully lacking, your MO is quite obvious and your reasoning leaves a lot to be desired.
Islam is in fact a religion of peace. Islam categorically prohibits offensive warfare and it absolutely forbids rape, mayhem, pillaging and wanton destruction.
Lastly, while the police may use modus operandi (MO) as one factor in an investigation, an MO is not a credible piece of evidence.
This blog is full of anti-Muslim bigotry (called Islamophobia).
Glancing through his blog and googling his name, I see that the poor, anguished lad is just obsessed with Islamaphobia. Everywhere the punk looks, there is yet another sane individual who just will not fall for his BS. And see, if you don’t buy into the “Religion of Peace”, you are automatically an “islamaphobe”.
Turns out that he tried to peddle his swill in the Wall Street Journal and those readers weren’t buying it either.
Debbie Schlussel made note of his pathetic efforts and reproduced the less than enthusiastic responses. So you see Mr. Afeef, it’s as I told you. People from all walks of life are waking up to the bogus claims of islam and if I were you, I’d hide my naked butt cause folks can see, islam has no clothes on. (And it ain’t a pretty sight)
Sphere: Related ContentLast week, on the eve of Independence Day, the Wall Street Journal Op-ed page ran a piece by Islamofascist Junaid Afeef, “Obama Should Embrace His Muslim Heritage.” The piece contained the usual BS you hear from Islamic Spokesmodels: that Islam is peaceful, that most Muslims are moderate, that they are the victims of all of us who are unduly prejudiced, that they would all put down their AK-47s and disposable Tracfone IEDs tomorrow if only Obama would embrace his ties to them, yadda, yadda, yadda, dogpoop, dogpoop, dogpoop.
Well, it seems that the well educated WSJ readers aren’t buyin’. Today, the Journal ran a selection of letters, and every single one of ‘em is good. The first one, I don’t agree with the first half of it. But the last sentence is pretty good. I’m putting that letter last. The rest are excellent!:
It is not irrational to fear Islam when we daily see property being destroyed and people murdered by terrorists, who use Islamic teachings and quote directly from Quranic verses to justify their actions.
Moderate Muslims have not been able to use theology to effectively refute the terrorists. We see the lack of women’s rights and lack of freedoms that exist wherever Islam rules. All cultures are not equal and we don’t want the Islamic culture introduced into the West. Our ancestors worked too long and too hard for the freedoms that we have, and we don’t want to be taken back to a 7th-century misogynistic, totalitarian ideology that cloaks itself within religious doctrine in order to hide its true goal of world domination.

I believe the anti-Muslim sentiments are not a product of fear or a lack of understanding. Rather they are based on a perception that Islam and mainstream democratic values are somehow irreconcilable.

I can’t say that I have read, seen or heard everything, but since 9/11 the Muslim world community has not raised its voice in anger against the terrorist perpetrators of evil. Why not? They raise their voices against cartoonists and authors; why not against killers?
Those in the Muslim world who stay silent are the true Islamophobes. Do they fear their own religion and so do not dare risk challenging the killers?
Mr. Afeef, look inward, and get your imams to issue fatwas condemning Osama bin Laden and all his ilk at every mosque world-wide and Islamophobia will disappear.

Rather than trying to debunk the bigotry of Islamophobes, I would ask Mr. Afeef to address the shortcomings of his own faith and its lack of a discernible, peaceful direction. Don’t smear the African-Americans, Chinese, Latinos and Jews of this country by associating their respective oppressions with the plight of today’s Muslim.
Denounce the violence, human rights violations and religious intolerance that are pervasive in Muslim nations, and watch the fear and lack of understanding of Islamophobes in America erode.

Regarding Junaid Afeef’s “Obama Should Embrace His Muslim Heritage” (op-ed, July 3): As a Christian I wouldn’t mind hearing Barack Obama positively acknowledge his father’s Muslim background. It could be a very good thing, especially given Mr. Obama’s exposure and international credibility. But to do so with a “can’t we all get along” ethos, as Mr. Aleef seems to suggest, will be no more helpful than Islamic public relations straining to assure the world that “jihad” is not just confined to a holy war intended to kill unbelievers.

from…Letters to the Editor of the Day: Answering the Boy Who Cried “Wolf”, er . . . Islamophobia
They say that there is religious tolerance and freedom in Islam, but then, there is always news like this…
A Saudi Arabian Muslim father cut out his daughter’s tongue and lit her on fire upon learning that she had become a Christian.The child became curious about Jesus Christ after she read Christian material online, the Gulf News reported.
Her father read of her Internet conversation, detached her tongue and burned her to death “following a heated debate on religion,” according to an International Christian Concern report.
The father is employed by the muwateen, or Commission for Promotion of Virtue and Prevention of Vice. The muwateen are police tasked by the government with enforcing religious purity. The man has been taken into custody, and his identity has not been released.
The ICC pointed out the United States Commission on International Religious Freedom has reported textbooks at the Saudi Arabian government school in Northern Virginia teach, “It is permissible for a Muslim to kill an apostate (a convert from Islam).” (Source)
They say that Islam respects and honors their women, that their women are better off than Western women, but then, there is always news like this…
…
Beneath the anonymity of the sky-blue burqa, Saliha’s slender frame and voice betray her young age.Asked why she was serving seven years in jail alongside hardened insurgents and criminals, the 15-year-old giggled and buried her head in her friend’s shoulder.
“She is shy,” apologised fellow inmate Zirdana, explaining that the teenager had been married at a young age to an abusive husband and ran away with a boy from her neighbourhood.Asked whether she had loved the boy, Saliha squirmed with childish embarrassment as her friend replied: “Yes.”
Ostracised from her family and village, Saliha was convicted of escaping from home and illegal sexual relations. The first carries a maximum penalty of 10 years, the second 20. These are two of the most common accusations facing female prisoners in Afghanistan.
Two-thirds of the women in Lashkar Gah’s medieval-looking jail have been convicted of illegal sexual relations, but most are simply rape victims – mirroring the situation nationwide. The system does not distinguish between those who have been attacked and those who have chosen to run off with a man.
Sitting among the plastic flowers around his desk, where an optimistic United Nations scales of justice poster competed for space with images of Afghanistan’s President, Hamid Karzai, Colonel Ghulam Ali, a high-ranking regional security officer, explained sternly that he supported the authorities’ right to convict victims of rape. “In Afghanistan whether it is forced or not forced it is a crime because the Islamic rules say that it is,” he claimed. “I think it is good. There are many diseases that can be created in today’s world, such as HIV, through illegal sexual relations.” (source)
They say that Islam is a mature and sophisticated belief system, but then they celebrate Ashura every year.
A devout Muslim forced two teenage boys to whip themselves with a bladed flail during a religious ceremony, a court has been told
Syed Mustafa Zaidi, 44, is said to have handed the youngsters the implement as members of the Shia community in Manchester celebrated the traditional ceremony of Ashura.The boys, aged 15 and 13, then took turns to flagellate themselves in front of a large crowd of men.
Zaidi, of Eccles, Greater Manchester, is the first person in Britain to be prosecuted over the use of a Zanjeer Zani – a wooden-handled implement fitted with five chains, each of them bearing a curved knife.
Although the practice of self-flagellation is common among Shia Muslims, allowing children to harm themselves is allegedly contrary to British law.
Zaidi is charged with inflicting two acts of child cruelty during a ceremony at a community centre in Levenshulme, Manchester, on January 19. (Source)
They say that Islam is compatible with Western freedoms, but in country after country, free speech is under attack by Islamists.
Sphere: Related ContentTo understand what’s at stake, look at the case of Rachel Ehrenfeld, in whose honor it has been nicknamed “Rachel’s Law.” In 2003, Ms. Ehrenfeld, an expert on terrorism who has served as an adviser to the Department of Defense, published “Funding Evil,” a study of how terrorist networks are financed. A Saudi billionaire sued her for libel in Britain, where the burden of proof for such lawsuits is lower than in America. Though only 23 copies of her book had been sold in Britain, its court found against Ms. Ehrenfeld, ordering her to have her book pulped and to pay hundreds of thousands of dollars in damages.
The judgment of the British court cannot be enforced in America. But the cost and burden to Ms. Ehrenfeld of defending the suit sent a message to any writer, or any publisher, contemplating a book on the subject of Islamist terror. “In effect,” wrote a senior fellow at the Ethics and Public Policy Center, Stanley Kurtz, “the Internet-driven internationalization of publishing is nullifying America’s First Amendment protections.”
As the capital of America’s publishing industry, New York is especially vulnerable to this threat. That’s why the State Legislature unanimously passed, and on April 30 Governor Paterson signed, a state version of Rachel’s Law. “New Yorkers must be able to speak out on issues of public concern without living in fear that they will be sued outside the United States, under legal standards inconsistent with our First Amendment rights,” Mr. Paterson said at the time.
The federal law as drafted won’t end all threats of foreign hassling of American-based journalists. We think of Mark Steyn, whose column regularly appears in these pages. Mr. Steyn spent the last year defending himself against charges brought by the Canadian Islamic Congress that an excerpt from his bestselling book “America Alone” suddenly constituted, when it was published in Maclean’s magazine, an incitement to hatred of Muslims. He was not sued in a regular court, with its legal protections and rules of evidence. Instead, he was hauled up before the Canadian Human Rights Commission, an unaccountable tribunal with sweeping powers to stamp out any speech it considers offensive.
After coming in for unprecedented public criticism over the Steyn case, the commission eventually dismissed the charges against him, though a case before the British Columbia Human Rights Tribunal is still pending. The Ehrenfeld and Steyn cases are but two examples in a trend that prompted the New Criterion magazine, along with the Foundation for Defense of Democracies, to host in April a conference on “Free Speech in the Age of Jihad.” The proceedings have just been issued as a pamphlet, underscoring that across the Western world, legal and quasi-legal mechanisms are being used to try to block open criticism of Islam or of prominent Muslims.

Sphere: Related ContentIn a National Geographic article on Persia [1] there is a remarkable quote: “Before they (Islam) came, we (Persia) were a great and civilized power.” …Echoing commonly stated, though disputed, lore…. “They burned our books and raped our women, and we couldn’t speak Farsi (the Persian language) in public or they took our tongues.”
Notice the hedging of bets with the “commonly stated, though disputed lore”. It is conventional wisdom, but it may not be true. There are different ways to verify whether or not Islam burned books and raped the Persian women, but one way to verify is with what police call, modus operandi, MO, method of operation. It is used in law enforcement to describe a criminal’s habitual patterns and style of committing crimes. MO is common sense. Criminals, like everybody else, do what is familiar and works.
But MO is usually applied to a person. Islam’s habitual patterns are preserved in its doctrine. The first great principle of Islam is that non-Muslims are kafirs. A kafir is not just an unbeliever in Mohammed’s prophecy but a kafir has a special place in Islam and that place is all bad. Islam has dualistic ethics for the kafir. A Muslim is a brother to another Muslim, but kafirs can be insulted, robbed, murdered and tortured.
Kafir women can be raped in jihad. There are three different verses in the Koran that relate to having sex with your slaves:
Koran 70:22 Not the devout, who pray constantly and whose wealth has a fixed portion set aside for beggars and the destitute, and those who believe in the Judgment Day, and those who fear their Lord’s punishment-because no one is safe from their Lord’s punishment-and who control their sexual desires, except with their wives or slave-girls, with them there is no blame; but whoever indulges their lust beyond this are transgressors), and who keep their trusts and promises, and who tell the truth, and who are attentive to their prayers. These will live with honors in Gardens.
This is an interesting verse. It is an ethical list of behaviors: pray, give charity to the poor, truth telling and having sex with your slave-girls. Another verse says that even married slave girls are to be used for sex.
What is a slave? A kafir who has been captured and who has no defenders. How long do you have to hold the captive until they can be considered good for sex? Well, the Hadith as an answer has for us.Here we see that at first the jihadists were reluctant to have sex with the captive women because of their husbands being nearby. But the Koran established that it was not immoral for them to rape kafir women because they had husbands.
Abu Muslim 008, 3432
Mohammed sent an army to Autas and encountered the enemy and fought with them. Having overcome them and taken them captives, the Companions seemed to refrain from having intercourse with captive women because of their husbands being kafirs. Then Allah, Most High, sent down regarding that: “And women already married, except those whom your right hands possess (iv. 24)” (i. e. they were lawful for them when their menstrual period came to an end).How soon? On the same day according to the Sira:
Ishaq 758 Dihya had asked Mohammed for Safiya, and when he chose her for himself Mohammed gave Safiya’s two cousins to Dihya in exchange. The women of Khaybar were distributed among the Muslims.
Ishaq 759 A man said, ‘Let me tell you what I heard the apostle say on the day of Khaybar. He got up among us and said: “It is not lawful for a Muslim to mingle his seed with another man’s [meaning to have sex with a pregnant woman among the captives], nor is it lawful for him to take her until he has made sure that she is in a state of cleanness [not having her period].As long as the kafir woman was not pregnant or having her period, the Muslim can rape her. Of course, a kafir should not even see the Muslim woman, hence, the veil, but a Muslim can have sex with a captured kafir woman. This is as good an illustration of Islam’s dual ethics as any other.
The story of Islamic rape was repeated in Turkey, Eastern Europe, Egypt, Spain and Hindustan. It is going on in Africa today. Rape is the Islamic modus operandi, way of doing business.
What about the book burning? When Islam invaded Hindustan (India) the largest library in the world was at Nalanda, a Buddhist center of learning. It took days to burn the library.
After all, all kafir culture was jahiliya, ignorant and hated by Allah. Books, art and all kafir culture are despised by Allah. When Muslims destroy civilizations, they are doing a good moral work. The books destroyed in Persia and India were an affront to Islam.
The other part of cultural destruction is the elimination of languages. When Islam invaded Coptic Egypt, a kafir would have his tongue cut out for speaking Coptic in front of Islamic government officials. Today, Islam has declared war on the Berber language and culture in North Africa.
The power of jihad is its totality. Jihad goes far beyond the use of violence. It is the purpose of Islam to annihilate all kafir civilizations. This doctrine allows political Islam to be constant over time and continents. The MO of Islam is fixed by the Koran, Sira and Hadith.

THERE ARE DIFFERENT KINDS OF ISLAM
The differences in the different kinds of Islam are due to religion, not politics. Take the Sunni/Shia split, the largest division in Islam. Both Sunnis and Shias completely agree on how to treat kafirs and jihad. All Muslim subscribe to one of five schools of the Sharia and the Sharia’s position regarding kafirs and jihad is the nearly the same for all the schools.
The only big difference is whether to use violent jihad or peaceful jihad against the kafirs.
HADITH—SOME OF THOSE AREN’T REAL
If you quote a hadith to a Muslim and they don’t like it, they will say, “Well, some of those hadiths are not acceptable (or true or some other disclaimer).” And that is true. Actually, when a Muslim says that, they are practicing taqiyya, sacred deception and duality. If it is a hadith, then a Muslim cannot be denied the right to follow it. It is Sunna.
The hadiths from Bukhari and Muslim are the creme de la creme of hadiths. When Bukhari made his collection, he threw out 99% of those he found. Those 99% are the unsure ones, the other 1% which are used here are authoritative.
THE MYTH OF THE ARABS, ABRAHAM AND ISHMAEL
The core of the myth is told in the Koran about how Adam built the Kabah at Mecca. It was the first house of worship. Then Abraham brought Ishmael to Mecca, prepared to perform the sacrifice demanded by God. Ishmael was left in Mecca with his mother, Hagar.

Once you know something about Islam and try to talk to others, you may find yourself in a debate. Here are some of the “standards”.
CAN YOU READ ARABIC?
Everyone from Muslims to atheists uses this. The implication is that Arabic is a unique language that can’t be translated and therefore, how could you know what you are talking about? First, the Koran claims to be a universal message for all humanity for all times. If the message is universal, then it must be able to be understood by all. If the message cannot be understood by everybody, then by definition it is not universal. So, which is it?
Another thing to consider is that over half of the Koran is about kafirs and politics. Do you really think that a political message about a kafir cannot be understood by the kafir? If so, what is that message that cannot be understood?
It must be made clear which Arabic is being spoken about. The Arabic of the Koran is classical Arabic which is about as similar to modern Arabic as the English of Chaucer and Beowulf is similar to modern English. Said in another way, not even a modern Arab can read classical Arabic. It is estimated that fewer than a thousand scholars who read classical Arabic can compose a paragraph on a random topic.
And what about the nearly billion Muslims who don’t even understand modern Arabic? If it is necessary to understand classical Arabic to understand what the Koran is about, then how can those billion non-Arabic-speaking Muslims understand the Koran? And if they cannot understand the Koran how can they be Muslims?

Artemesia was a woman who commanded the Iranian naval forces when Cyrus the Great attacked Greece in 563 BCE. The women of Iran were equal members of their society in ancient Iran and joined their men in the affairs of State – until 623AD, when Iran was invaded by the military forces of Islamic Arabs who imposed their rule upon Iranians.
During the 15th century, the Ottomans invaded Iran making the Mullahs partners of the crown in order to control Iranians and, worse yet, oppress women.
In 1888, the women of Iran joined the revolutionary forces to fight for modernity, constitutional monarchy and separation of the religion and state.
According to historians, alongside the dead revolutionaries in the battlefields lay the bodies of women who valiantly fought shoulder to shoulder with the men. The constitutional revolution succeeded in 1906, but in their negotiations with the plutocratic Mullahs, the revolutionary leadership left the family laws under the cleric-controlled Sharia. The women of Iran were betrayed but their war against the Mullahs had just begun. In 1907, with the establishment of their nationwide, underground organization, “The Secret Society of the Ladies,” a war was declared on the clergy; they would not stop until they had their equal rights.

The paramilitary forces of the Islamic regime make it impossible for the women to protest against their inhumane laws…..

Today an Iranian woman’s worth is considered to be half that of a man’s. They can not dress as they choose, but must comply with strict sharia law and there are plenty of religious police to arrest them off the street should they be so bold as to attempt to deviate. Eight women face death by stoning for so called crimes of adultery and Iran has racked up 155 executions so far this year.

The Nation of Islam leader said that his silence during Obama’s presidential campaign is not due to having nothing to say or speak on.Obama’s campaign has been dogged by controversy from comments made by his former pastor, Jeremiah Wright of Trinity United Church of Christ, and Rev. Michael Pfleger, pastor of St. Sabina church, but Farrakhan said he is holding his peace.
“I have something to say,” Farrakhan told the congregation.
“I’m going to take on the forces…once Barack is safely ashore,” he said, indicating that he would wait until Obama is in the White House before he makes public comments.
“I’m not gone. Let them use me to hurt my brother. I love that man,” Farrakhan said.

Jew and America hating terrorists such as Hamas also love Obama, and like their spiritual brother Farrakhan, they very much understand the islamic practice of deception, al-Taqiyya.
On Sunday, Aaron Klein and John Batchelor interviewed Ahmed Yousef, chief political adviser to the Prime Minister of Hamas, on WABC radio. The interview produced a scoop which, for some reason, has not been widely publicized: Hamas has endorsed Barack Obama for President. Yousef said, “We like Mr. Obama and we hope he will win the election.” Why? “He has a vision to change America.” Maybe Yousef has some insight into what Obama means by all these vague references to “change.”
[...]
Yousef was asked about Obama’s condemnation of Carter’s visit with Hamas, but didn’t seem troubled by it. Hamas, he says, understands American politics; this is the election season, and everyone wants to sound like a friend of Israel. Nevertheless, he hopes that the Democrats will change American policies when they take office.(Source)
And so , apparently does Europe, as evidenced by the almost pavlovian worship extended to the false messiah as he tours. Europe, who has fervidly denounced America, who has expressed hatred and disdain for this nation in unprecedented fervor for the last eight years, has found their salvation in Obama. And what the hell does that say about Obama? Jim Fennell over at My Country Tis of Thee calls it the Law of Political Attraction.
Fundamental understanding for the law of political attraction: Simply put, the nature of a politician will attract people/groups/causes to him/her based upon the nature of the politician’s composition, or political philosophy. Thus a politician will attract those persons/groups that line-up with the real (not surface) properties of that politician.
If this is true, then does it NOT make sense that Obama (the magnet) draws the following groups to himself?
