A Leaven In The World . . . The Myth Of Islamophobia

A Leaven In The World . . . The Myth Of Islamophobia

The truth about Islam:

“The Muslim religion is the fastest-growing religion per capita in the United States, especially among minority races.

“Last month I attended a training. During the training session, three speakers representing the Roman Catholic, Protestant, and Muslim faiths each presented their beliefs.

“I was particularly interested in what the Islamic Imam had to say. The Muslim gave a great presentation of the basics of Islam, complete with a video.

“After the presentations, time was provided for questions and answers. When it was my turn, I directed my question to the Muslim and asked:

“ ‘Please, correct me if I’m wrong, but I understand that most Imams and clerics of Islam have declared a holy jihad [Holy war] against the infidels of the world and, that by killing an infidel (which is a command to all Muslims), they are assured of a place in heaven. If that’s the case, can you give me the definition of an infidel?’

“There was no disagreement with my statements and, without hesitation, he replied, ‘Nonbelievers.’

“I responded, ‘So, let me make sure I have this straight. All followers of Allah have been commanded to kill everyone who is not of your faith so they can have a place in heaven. Is that correct?’

“The expression on his face changed from one of authority and command to that of a little boy who had just been caught with his hand in the cookie jar.

“He sheepishly replied, ‘Yes.’

“I then stated, ‘Well, sir, I have a real problem trying to imagine the pope commanding all Catholics to kill those of your faith or Dr. Stanley ordering all Protestants to do the same to guarantee them a place in heaven!’

“The Muslim was speechless.

“I continued, ‘I also have a problem with being your friend when you and your brother clerics are telling your followers to kill me! Let me ask you a question: Would you rather have your Allah, who tells you to kill me for you to go to heaven, or my Jesus, who tells me to love you because I am going to heaven and He wants you to be there with me?’

“You could have heard a pin drop.

“Needless to say, the organizers and / or promoters of the ‘diversification’ training seminar were not happy with my way of dealing with the Islamic Imam, and exposing the truth about the Muslims’ beliefs.

“In 20 years there will be enough Muslim voters in the U.S. to elect the president.

“I think everyone in the U.S. should be required to read this, but with the ACLU, there is no way this will be widely publicized unless each of us sends it on! This is your chance to make a difference” (@SparkleKitten39 on X).

“Islamophobia” is a myth. It is completely rational to fear those who have sworn to kill you. Christians do not suffer from a psychological malady when they fear Muslims; their fear is a rational response to a team threat. It is laudable to defend one’s life by avoiding danger, not a psychological defect.

Islam is not a “religion.” It is a political ideology of domination dressed up in religious garb. This from a Muslim — Dan Burmawi (@DanBurmawy on X):

“There is absolutely no difference between Islam and Islamism.”

“A few months ago, a university professor who knows @GadSaad asked me what I think of what Professor Saad says about Islam and Islamism.

“I told him it is unbelievable that he would even ask such a question.

“It shows how far the false narrative about Islam has been pushed, to the point that the plain truth Gad Saad is stating is treated as questionable.

“There is absolutely no difference between Islam and Islamism.

“I was raised Muslim, and the word ‘Islamism’ never crossed my path until I encountered Western discourse.

“Islam is not a religion; Islam has a religion.

“Imagine a version of communism where Marx is a prophet and the manifesto is the holy book, that is exactly what Islam is: a political ideology with a religious aspect.

“Islam is a state. Muslims are citizens of that state. It has a constitution (Sharia), it has a foreign policy doctrine (jihad), and it has a leader (the caliph).

“Wherever Islam exists, it exists to rule and to replace man-made law.

“Stop being afraid to say the truth.

“Stop debating whether what we say is true or not.

“You have been deceived into thinking there is a difference between Islam and Islamism, there is none.”

From @GadSaad:

“If a Jew robs a bank, he is not doing it based on a religious teaching. If he circumcises his kid, he is doing it based on a religious teaching.

“Many acts that Muslims commit have nothing to do with their faith but many other acts that they commit are precisely due to their faith.”

As Denise @NoDMsPerfavore tweeted and as Gad Saad warned:

“In Dearborn, Mich.: Muslims demand submission!!”

“In Dearborn, Mich., Muslims are now demanding that Christian churches stop ringing their bells on Sundays. This is real and their reasoning should terrify every Christian American.

“Muslims are saying, ‘According to Sharia law, church bells cannot be louder than our Islamic call to prayer. We are the majority in this city and you have to respect us, our laws, and our religion.’

“They are not asking for equality, they’re demanding submission. Roughly 45,000 Muslims participated in the walk for Arbaeen in Dearborn on Sunday. In small numbers, Islam is ‘a religion of peace’ that stays very private. But once an overpowering amount of Muslims control a certain area, they’ll make their presence known, in staggering numbers, as a show of dominance.

“The Dearborn Heights police department is the very first police department in the country to have Arabic language and writing on its uniforms. With that in mind, do you think that these police officers would defend the Constitution and arrest Muslims for attacking and assaulting a white Christian republican man?

“These people have moved to America, settled in a Christian country, and now that they have the demographic majority in that one city, they’re demanding that Christians silence their own churches to comply with Islamic laws that they brought with them from the Middle East.

“This is exactly what’s happening, right now, in Europe. First they ask for tolerance, next they demand accommodation, and then they enforce submission.

“The City of Dearborn already has a Muslim mayor and majority Muslim city council. However, the rest of the politicians in Michigan are letting it happen because they’re afraid of losing that voting bloc. You will never get elected to office in Michigan without it.

“Imagine for a second, if this was the other way around. If Christians moved to Saudi Arabia, and demanded that Muslims turn off their call to prayer, what do you think would happen? They would be arrested or worse. But in America, we’re just supposed to hand over our culture, submit, and give them whatever they demand because it’s their First Amendment rights to ‘freedom of religion.’

“As we’ve seen in Spain, one radical liberal policy undid, in 24 hours, what was held for thousands of years after the Crusades removed Islam from that country. Ceuta was a happy and peaceful place for Christians . . . now it’s being overrun by Third World savages.

“We’ve got to cut out the cancer before it’s too late!”

Dan Burmawi again:

“Twenty years ago, Joe Biden was an outspoken defender of traditional Christian marriage. He publicly opposed same-sex marriage. But then his position shifted completely.

“Now imagine someone digging up his old speeches and quoting them as proof that he opposes gay marriage today.

“This is exactly what Muslims do when they quote the early verses of the Qur’an to prove Islam is peaceful.

“When Muhammad was weak in Mecca, powerless, outnumbered, mocked, he preached tolerance, patience, and coexistence.

“The Qur’anic language during this period reflects that weakness:

“ ‘There is no compulsion in religion.’ ‘To you your religion, to me mine.’

“As Muhammad gained power, the message changed. When he moved to Medina and acquired political and military control, the Qur’an’s tone shifted from persuasion to domination.

“The peaceful verses were abrogated, canceled out, by newer revelations calling for conquest, bloodshed, and the extermination of unbelievers.

“Over 200 verses from the later chapters of the Qur’an explicitly promote violence, warfare, and the subjugation or killing of non-Muslims.

“To quote early peaceful verses and ignore the later violent ones is intentional deceit.

“Islam’s trajectory, from marginal prophet to militant ruler, is baked into the structure of the Qur’an itself.”

There is no such thing as “Islamophobia.” It is a lie to invert the truth that Christian peace is abused to undermine Western civilization by, if necessary, even a bloody Islamic war of domination.
