The Media's Cheery Ignorance about Islam's Hostile Ideology
by A. Z. Mohamed

·
It is not the president who is spreading the idea that "Islam is an inherently hostile ideology," that "Muslims are enemies of Christians and Jews" and that "Muslims have always had a comprehensive, actionable, and jihadist plan to take over" -- but rather the Quran itself.

· In other words:
· Islam does not recognize Judaism or Christianity as religions.
· Muslims are enemies of, and must fight, Jews and Christians.
· Muslims will never be satisfied until all people submit to the beliefs of Islam and the laws of
sharia.

US President Donald Trump repeatedly rebukes the media for "dishonest" coverage and "fake news."

Despite its fury over the accusations, however, the press continues to prove him right -- albeit inadvertently.

Take a recent New York Times piece as an example. In their article, titled "Trump Pushes Dark View of Islam to Center of U.S. Policy-Making" (Feb. 1), authors Scott Shane, Matthew Rosenberg, and Eric Lipton cite a questionable source -- Prof. Asma Afsaruddin of the Department of Near Eastern Languages and Cultures at Indiana University -- to prove their point that the president is promoting a "master narrative that pits the Muslim world against the West." This, they claim, appeals to Trump supporters, "who know nothing of Muslims or Islam beyond news reports of terrorist attacks."

Although Americans may be more familiar with Islamist attacks in Europe, North America, North Africa, the Middle East and the Indian subcontinent than with the perpetrators or the religion, it is the Quran's content, the Prophet Muhammad's sayings and conduct and current fatwas that, regardless of Trump's rhetoric, have driven a wedge between the Muslim world and the West.

Indeed, contrary to what The New York Times piece asserts, it is not the president who is spreading the idea that "Islam is an inherently hostile ideology," that "Muslims are enemies of Christians and Jews" and that "Muslims have always had a comprehensive, actionable, and jihadist plan to take over" -- but rather the Quran itself.

The following Quranic verses, still in wide use today, serve to illustrate:

1. "O you who believe! take not the Jews and the Christians as Auliya' (friends, protectors, helpers), they are but Auliya' of each other. And if any amongst you takes them as Auliya', then surely he is one of them." (5: 51)

2. "And the Jews say: 'Uzair (Ezra) is the son of Allah, and the Christians say: Messiah is the son of Allah... Allah's Curse be on them, how they are deluded away from the truth!" (9:30).

3. "Among those who are Jews, there are some who displace words from (their) right places... Allah has cursed them for their disbelief..." (4:47).

4. The Jews say: "Allah's Hand is tied up (i.e. He does not give and spend of His Bounty)." Be their hands tied up and be they accursed for what they uttered...Every time they kindled the fire of war, Allah extinguished it; and they (ever) strive to make mischief on earth." (5: 64).

In other words:
· Islam does not recognize Judaism or Christianity as religions.
· Muslims are enemies of, and must fight, Jews and Christians.
· Muslims will never be satisfied until all people submit to the beliefs of Islam and the laws of
Sharia.

Muslim apologists always cite the Quranic verse below to highlight a different side of Islam:

"Allah does not forbid you to deal justly and kindly with those who fought not against you on account of religion nor drove you out of your homes." (60: 8).

Here is the problem, however. According to a strict interpretation of the verse, anyone or anything perceived as "fighting against you" is fair game for violence. Thus, even the slightest criticism or satirical portrayal of Islam, the Quran, Muhammad or Muslims – whether in books, movies, newspaper articles, cartoons or speeches -- can be construed not only as legitimate targets for attack, but as religiously mandated ones.

Indeed, the Quran orders Muslims to fight against "those who acknowledge not the religion of truth (Islam) among the people of the Scripture (Jews and Christians), until they pay the Jizyah (taxes) with willing submission..." (9:29); not to take the Jews, Christians and other non-Muslims as friends; and deal justly and kindly only with those who have not fought them, driven them out of their lands or made a mockery of Islam [emphasis added].

Shane, Rosenberg and Lipton attempt to paint those who hold Trump's view of radical Muslims with the kind of ignorance that they themselves possess and display. Unfortunately, their position appeals to many non-Muslims uneducated in the ways of Islam. Worse, it facilitates jihadist machinations.

No wonder Trump has been calling out the media for false reporting.

A. Z. Mohamed is a Muslim born and raised in the Middle East.

It's not "(D)umb," meridian, it's that "enemy of enemy, friend" crap. "Bible, and gun-clinging Americans are the enemy," BHO; and {radical} Islam has been using the "victim" status to wipe-out ignorant, humanitarian "infidels," since the invention of the religious "beard" of {radical} Islam. I only incorporate "radical," with Islam, because Islam (D)oes. The only real and measured (D)ifference between {radical} Islam and Western free-market secular liberal progressives (D), is the "radical" and "secular," and, of course, the "minor," legal and encouraged twists of the barbaric 7th century Sharia Law of "(D)evout" Islam {capture, slavery, sex-slavery, pedophilia, polygamy, harems, female genital mutilation, mutilation, morality police, whipping, stoning, dismemberment, crucifixion, caged burning, caged drowning, casting off high places, decapitation; or all of-the-above. Hummmmmmmmm. GOOOOOOOOOO REP. TREY GOWDY and, GOOOOOOOOOOOO PRESIDENT "45" DONALD J. {BORN AGAIN} TRUMP (R); JUST LIKE THE WEATHER!!! Why wouldn't the {anti-American, anti-Semitic} MSM (D), and "Hollyweird" (D),} come to the rescue of the "victim," {radical} Islam (D)???

You hit the nail right on the head about the media they have no connection at all with morals or with being a Christian...they are only believers in their own power and income.

I was thinking the same thing...haha!

I'd say we are in deep trouble already with a large share of this country demanding more Muslims be brought in. Until we all admit that there are no good Muslims where Christians and Jews are concerned, we'll remain in jeopardy. With Obama still calling the shots, we don't stand much chance and neither does President Trump. I cannot be convinced that Obama hasn't given up hope of becoming America's Imperial Highness.

You talking about the rat faced guy with the beard? He's ugly as well.

It isn't just Christians and Jews Carol, it is anyone who is not Moslem. That includes Atheists, Buddhists and the million and one Indian and Chinese religious cults. Even the Native American's religion will be attacked. No one is immune.

The law Obama ignored:

Nationality Act June 27, 1952
{SLAM WAS BAhINED FRCIM T,HE USA lN "1952, but Obama doesn't want
you to know that nar does he respect or upi"rold US law. The lmrnigration
and Nationality Act passed June 27, 1952 revised the laws relating to
imrnigration, naiuralization, and nationality for the United States. That act,
which became Public Law 414, established both the law and the intent of
Congress regarding the immigration of Aliens to the US and remains in
effect today" Arnong the many issues it covers, one irr particular, found in
Chapter 2 Section 212, is the prohibition of entry to the US it the Alien
belongs {o an organization seeking to overthrrow the government of the
United States by "force, violence, or other unconstitutional rn€ans," This, by
its very definition. rules out lslamic imrnigration to the United Stales, but this
Iaw is being ignored by the White House,lslamic irnnrigratron to the US
would be prohibited under this law because the Koran, Sharia Law and the
Hadith all require cornplete submission to lslam, which is antithetical to the
US govennrnent, the Constitution, and to the Republic. All Muslims who
attest that the Koran is their li{e's guiding principal subscribe to submission
to lslam and its form of government. Now the political correct crowd would
say that lsiarnists cannot be prohibited from enterlng the US because lslam
is a religion. Whether it is a religion is immaterial because the law states
that Aliens who are affiliated with any "or Eanization" that advocates the
overthrow of our governrnent are prohibited""

That was the same interpretation I got from this law. Islam is not and can never be American -- those who follow this cult should be offered a choice, deportation or jail. Forced conversion doesn't work, we would have to create our own inquisition and Torquemadas are not easy to find.

They can always check-in to one of those un-used FEMA camps.
Like they say,"Roaches check-in, but they don't check-out!"

Very wholesome idea, I hope for the future of our children and grandchildren....I don't like the thought of leaving satans faithful to be dealt holy justice for too much longer.
