Islam Religion of Murder...
THE BLAZE
Islam is the Most Violent Religion in the World, But Lets Keep Calling it Peaceful Anyway
By: Matt Walsh / Jan. 7, 2015
And here we are again. You might recognize this place. Weve been here frequently over the past, say, 1,500 years or so. Its the place where the whole world stands in dumbfounded shock after witnessing unspeakable brutality at the hands of Islamists. Maybe we should stop being so surprised.
This time around, three masked gunmen stormed the offices of a French satirical newspaper, executing 12 people in cold blood, including two police officers. This is the same newspaper that infamously published a cartoon poking fun at the Prophet Mohammed a few years ago, and was promptly greeted with death threats and a Molotov cocktail for their troubles. In fairness, theres still a lot we dont know about this attack, but it seems very certain that this was another case of Muslim terrorism. The gunmen took out 12 people while shouting Allahu Akbhar and the Prophet has been avenged. All of this over some jokes in a magazine.
Can you imagine Christian radicals committing mass murder at The Onion offices because theyre upset about something they found on its website? Can you even fathom such a thing? Probably not, because it never happens. It just never happens. And its not like Christians dont have plenty of provocation. I still remember stumbling upon this
lovely little gem from The Onion last year. Its a hysterical article imagining that Jesus Christ, the Son of the Living God, became a prostitute to make ends meet. Ha Ha?

This is the kind of thing Christians encounter all the time. Brutal mocking and ridicule dressed up as humor, but designed only to offend. Theres no wit, no punchline, just scorn heaped upon people of my faith. Kind of like this Family Guy episode, featuring an adulterous Jesus looking to have sex with a mans wife. Or that hilarious Curb Your Enthusiasm episode a few years back where Larry David peed on a picture of Jesus. Or of course the famous Piss Christ, a crucifix dunked in a bottle of urine and passed off as art. Or the painting of the Virgin Mary smeared in elephant dung. Or Dogma. Or The Da Vinci Code. Or a thousand other examples.
Yet nobody ever died because of any of that. And, oh man, if anyone did, can you imagine the backlash? Can you imagine the media reaction if just one Christian murdered just one person as a reprisal for some offensive joke or provocative cartoon? Wed be ready to ban the entire religion in this country. Progressives are so desperate to prove that Christianity is just as violent as Islam that they frequently cite the murder of a******n doctors as an example. Only, none of those attacks were carried out in the name of Jesus. As far as Im aware, none of the murderers shouted Praise be to Christ when they pulled the trigger.
And how many incidents are we even talking about here? Ill tell you: eight. Eight a******nists and a******n clinic workers have been k**led in the U.S. in the past 40 years. Its happened once in the last decade and a half. Once.
Yet Christians are held to such a high standard that even these extraordinarily rare k*****gs, not even done in the name of the faith, and always condemned by nearly every prominent Christian, are cited in almost every conversation about religious violence. Meanwhile, Muslims just gunned down 12 people over a cartoon this morning, and what do we immediately hear? Islam is a religion of peace.
A White House spokesman came out within hours of the attack and spent about 40 seconds condemning the violence before immediately repeating this same slogan. While another dozen bodies lay dead in the street, were told that it all happened at the hands of a peaceful religion. (But at least he didnt repeat Obamas quote from 2012: The future must not belong to those who slander the prophet of Islam.) This is a sick joke. Islamist militant wreak havoc across the globe, and the best our simpering, kowtowing, politically correct leaders can do is continuously suck up to the religion that produces these travesties like its operating some kind of terrorist assembly line. Its pathetic. Its shameful.
Youll soon hear, if you havent already, that this latest bout of Islamic violence should be put in context. That these murderers are in the minority. Im even being informed that the people who provoke Muslims are partly to blame themselves. But Ill know weve finally progressed as a people, and grown some semblance of a collective spine, when we stop putting Jihad into context and when we stop making excuses for it. These are bloodthirsty barbarians. They dont have a point. They dont need to be understood. They dont deserve any considerations at all.
I dont know where we go once weve reached that point. I dont have an easy solution to the kind of animalistic behavior that has infected Islam since its inception. But I do know that it starts with honesty. It starts with having the fortitude to say, without qualifier, without equivalency, that Islam is the most violent religion in the history of the world. You can ask why or how, but the what really isnt up for debate.
I didnt say that all Muslims are violent, or even that most Muslims are violent. I didnt even say that Islam is the most destructive religion in the world that title belongs to progressivism, which murders babies, destroys families, and damns souls.
Yet it is the most violent, and we all know it.
These are bloodthirsty barbarians. They dont deserve any considerations at all.
Does Islamic law call for its followers to slaughter the innocent? Certainly thats how a fair number of them throughout history have seen it, but I dont claim to be a Muslim theologian. I assume there are different ways to interpret Muslim scripture, same as Christians argue over interpretation of the Bible. Whats the correct interpretation? I have no idea. But my religions Holy Book tells me that by their fruits you shall know them. I am looking at the fruits of Islam, and I see something that so often blossoms into death and terror. Thats the reality. Its right before my eyes. All I have to do is open them to see it.
But even now, as the news tells us of another Muslim atrocity, and as Islamists continue their thousand year war against every other religion on Earth, and as they violently persecute Christians across the Middle East and Africa, and as they visit death and misery upon millions worldwide, we here in the West are still too afraid to notice that which cannot be avoided.
And when we do notice, we dont say, look, Muslims are executing blasphemers, crucifying Christians, and beheading children. Instead, we use meaningless qualifiers to stipulate that these are radical Muslims or fundamentalist Muslims. Then we quickly bury even that observation in a bunch of wimpy babble about how all religions have these sorts of violent elements.
Hopefully we soon come in contact with a dictionary, or any book actually, because if we do well see that a fundamentalist is simply someone who follows the fundamentals of a religion. Saying that Islam isnt the problem; fundamentalist Islam is the problem is the same as saying Islam isnt the problem; the basic, fundamental nature of it is the problem, which is the same as saying Islam isnt the problem; Islam is the problem.
And although it might make us feel better to assume that no culture and no religion carries its own unique flaws and pitfalls, the fact remains that Christians and Jews are not often found brutalizing innocent civilians in the name of their religion. And if such an anomaly were to occur, it would be quite easy to tell that the murderous Christian is not a fair representative of his Creed. After all, his Savior spoke rather extensively about the need for peace and mercy. His Savior also wasnt a militant figure in His own right, k*****g infidels and taking child brides along the way.
Rather, our Savior told us to turn the other cheek, and thats what Christians have consistently done. They were pursued, captured, beaten, k**led, and made into lions food for 300 years before they finally emerged as a dominant religion. If Christianity is inherently violent, it would have been born in violence and spread through violence, but it wasnt. Unlike Islam.
These are the simple facts, and Ive pretty well had my fill of these friendly people, with their polite ways, who are so terribly tolerant that they feel like they have to pretend that, somehow, mysteriously, the impression every rational human being on Earth has that Islam is more violent than other religions is off-base. They cant explain why its off-base, they can only offer some trite platitude about how the violent Muslims are not true Muslims.
Bull crap, you cowards. There is disagreement about the true nature of every religion. Put 100 Christians of different denominations in a room and theyll argue over virtually every aspect of their faith. What they wont do, however, is debate whether theyre supposed to be out k*****g cartoonists, shooting up schools, murdering soldiers at the Canadian parliament, or taking hostages at a cafe in Sydney. Only one religion has to even entertain that discussion. And that, to me, clearly indicates some very serious and inherent flaws.
And, please, dont tell me that Muslims tend to be violent because theyre a historically oppressed people. All religions have been oppressed at one time or another, but Muslims have also always controlled wide swaths of the globe. Ever hear of the Ottoman Empire?
And dont try to work the Crusades into this conversation, unless you want to prove my point for me. The Crusades were waged against Muslim aggressors after several hundred years of persecution at the hands of Arabic forces. The Crusades were a war of defense, sparked, as usual, by Muslim conquest.
No, theres no way around this. Islam is more violent than any religion thats ever existed anywhere.
We have to face that fact. Muslims especially have to face it.
And then we can take the next step, wh**ever that is.

Have you read the 9/11 articles on Veterans Today? It seems these ISIS folks may not be what you think Don. Bush, Cheney and John McCain are mentioned in the reports. Seems they and our government might be behind a bunch of this. Democrat or Republican it seems both parties are out to destroy our nation.
Impressive. Best article I've ever read on what Islam REALLY is.
Time for another Crusade. We could eradicate these devils, if only we had the will. Unfortunately, our leaders are not only not opposing them, they are supporting them. I believe that this is pretty strong evidence that God has truly abandoned us, and that the Devil now has free reign to do what he wants. How else can you explain this worldwide insanity?

You present a frightening thought.
You may indeed be correct.
Our future may lie inside the souls of
those who remain faithful.
After all, what fun is winning if the odds are in one's favor?

God never will and never
has abandoned us .
Our president however is another story.
There is no way he can deny his religon.
It trumps any oath or loyalty to country.
That is scary.

He will never abandon His children, but He has given up on America and the rest of the world. What I mean by that is that America has turned it's backs on Him, so He has withdrawn His protection and His blessings. How else do you explain Obama?

Excellent article Don.
We should have taken care of the muslimes along with the N**i's and the f*****ts. The arabs marched in lock step with Adolf Hitler. They even goosestep when marching now. Good thing they don't have the fighting prowess of the Germans.
