August 18, 2011 <http://www.familysecuritymatters.org/authors/id.157/author_detail.asp> Amil Imani http://www.familysecuritymatters.org/imgLib/20110817_CrescentGlobe.jpg The terror and death inflicted on humanity is not the work of radical Islam, neither the political Islam, nor the militant Islam. It is Islam, period. Get it? And the perpetrators are not fringe elements confined to brainwashed Saudis, loony Taliban, or some know--nothing Pakistanis who have hijacked Islam and are now in the business of mass murder. The latest project of the practitioners of the "religion of peace," aimed to blowing planeloads of innocent civilians to smithereens in midair over the Atlantic, - ought to finally drive the point home: It is Islam, dummy. Get it? How could people calling themselves sincere God-fearing religionists bring themselves to even think of acts of such barbarity, yet plan them methodically and cold-bloodedly proceed to execute them? The answer is Islam. The life manual of Islam, the Quran, is a document of exclusion, hatred and violence that shapes the Muslims' thinking and behaving. This stone-age document is optimally suited for people of stunted development; people who prefer to follow than to think for themselves, to hate than to love, and to seek death rather than to celebrate life. Sadly, Muslims themselves are the ones who are most victimized by Islam. They have inherited this viral psychological disease of hate and violence; they live by it, and transmit it to their children as well as to receptive others. A puzzle to non-Muslims: why any intelligent and reasonably sane person would live his life by the dogma of Islam? It is particularly disconcerting when this Muslim lives in a secular non-Islamic society. The befuddlement becomes mind-boggling when seemingly educated women in free societies voluntarily submit to the yoke of Islamic misogyny. There are a number of possible explanations to the enigma of believing in Islam and even propagating it with zeal and violence. Some possible explanations are treated here. For one, Islam is stamped on the impressionable mind of the child from birth. The parents and immediate members of the family are the ones who make the very first impressions on the tabula rasa of the young mind. These early impressions are the grid-work for further formation of the person's mind and belief system. It is by far easier, as life goes on, to incorporate "items" that readily fit into the grid-work, than to modify it or dismantle it altogether and begin anew. It is in recognition of the importance of early training and education that people such as Saint Augustine and Freud considered the first few years of life as critical for molding the person. "Teaching the very young is like etching upon my youth is when your stones in the stone," says an Eastern proverb. Another reason is the herd mentality-stay with the group, be one of them, and don't strike out on your own. This strong disposition to belong is reinforced by privileges that the group bestows; social pressure, as well as the fear of castigation by the wielders of power. There is security and power in numbers-in any numbers. Islam is also appealing for giving purpose and order to the person's life-both the life on earth as well as an immortal life after death. Islam is an omnipresent and omniscient father figure who draws the boundaries, points out the path, dictates the terms, holds the carrots and the sticks. It absolves the person, for most parts, from the often demanding tasks of dealing with difficult questions and choosing what to do with oneself-a highly attractive trade off for many. Accept Islam as your guide, follow its path and you will never have to suffer the agony of not knowing and having to make decisions by yourself; you will be guided along the path of eternal happiness and salvation. Just follow the unerring guide given to mankind by the seal of the prophet, Muhammad. An elaborate package of mostly illogical and bizarre prescriptions and proscriptions comes with the Islamic offer, covering every imaginable aspect of life. In the matter of being a good Muslim, nothing is left to chance that one needs to figure out for himself. "I think, therefore I am" said Rene Descartes in substantiating his claim to existence as a conscious being. "I don't think, I have faith; therefore I am an automaton," says the Muslim in absolving himself of the need for independent thinking. Even the minutest detail of the Muslim's life is rigidly structured. He is to perform the obligatory prayer, for instance, five times a day at the exact appointed times. He must drop everything and go through the prescribed gesticulation and recitation of the verses while facing Mecca. Before saying his prayer, however, he must perform ablution. The Ablution, using water, must be carried out in a precise manner and sequence. In the absence of water, the faithful can substitute soil for water and go through the practice of "purifying" himself by running soil over his hands, arms, face and feet. After completion of ablution, as prescribed, he may proceed to say his prayer unless he commits flatulence. In that case, he must re-perform the ablution all over again. Being a good Muslim, particularly a good male Muslim, is indeed a full time job. Male Muslims are obligated to go for Hajj-women don't have to do so. Islam is a man's religion, through and through. Women are to please men erotically, to attend to them like chattel, and birth them boys. Going on Hajj and accumulating merit points for admission to Allah's paradise is reserved for men. Women may also go to Hajj, if they are lucky enough to afford the journey or allowed by their owners, men, to do so. For women, there are no promises that by going on Hajj and paying tribute to the house of Allah they endear themselves to him. "Women are calamities, but no home should be without one," is an old Islamic characterization of women. Hence, a woman is a necessity and not much more. In short, Islam treats its believers as children irrespective of age. An extensive cadre of mullahs and imams, who themselves are thoroughly indoctrinated, minister to the children. These professional leeches-the mullahs and imams-systematically program the minds of their charges through liberal use of fear, threats of hell, and occasional promises of eternal life of bliss in Allah's paradise if they be obedient good children. A Muslim is born Muslim, yet he acts as if he independently and through his own labor has discovered the great find; he clings to it as his cherished security blanket; and, would part with his life, rather than give it up. It is, therefore, understandable what a recent poll has found. Fully 81% of British Muslims consider themselves Muslims first and British second. The 81% know full well that there is absolutely no chance of being harassed, much less persecuted, in Britain for professing their highest loyalty to Islam. So, they come out and admit it. The other 19% are even more Muslim. They are practicing what the Quran teaches-dissimulation. Muslims are taught to lie. They lie when they have to and they lie when they don't have to, just to stay in practice. The bottom-line is that the non-Islamic world has a huge problem on its hands-the ever-encroaching Islam. For as long as there are mosques, madrasehs, and Islamic centers; as long as vast cadres of well-paid, highly indoctrinated and strategically placed mullahs and imams; and, as long as there are people who prefer to be treated as children, Islam will flourish anywhere and will pose an existential threat to unbelievers. All the excuses, grievances and reasons given for savagery of the jihadists and Islamofascists are side issues. It is Islam, dummy. It is Islam itself.

WOW....Here's something hizzoner can use the next time an islamic terrorist threatens to blow up Times Square,crash a plane or disrupt the subway system. posted by: Terry Thursday, August 18, 2011 at 04:26 AM _____ Very powerful article. Every American should read this post. The Islamists focus on our major weakness: Political Correctness and that's an opening, a weakness, that will allow them to bulldoze our society with their intolerant, totalitarian, and outrageous views. Will it take another 9/11 attack to spur the U.S. to stop all immigration from Islamic countries to this nation? Liberals and secularists have well nigh succeeded in muffling our traditional champion, Christianity, so in the spiritual realm we are defenseless against this onslaught of Islam. It's the height of irony that while liberals, atheists, and agnostics have attacked and silenced Christianity they stand mute and complacent before the aggression of the most intolerant, murderous religion in the world today. It's quite clear what is coming: Major Hasan's killing spree at Fort Hood, the failed bomb attempt in NYC, and the radical preaching in U.S. mosques illustrates that we have a continuing murderous threat to the very foundations of our society and it's not going away. We should stop all Muslim immigration to this country immediately. It's sad to contemplate that for our NATO allies it may already be too late: i.e., Great Britain, France, Germany. No more compromises, no surrender. It's a religious war but we disarmed our champion, Christianity, and now are relying on a secular PC complacency to man the barricades [Non-text portions of this message have been removed] ------------------------------------ -------------------------- Want to discuss this topic?
