Why We Should Not Accept the Syrian Islamic Refugee Poison Pill?

I saw this important tweet from Susan @sdv92 this afternoon. It captures the essence of the problem in accepting any Muslim Iraqi or Syrian refugees without proper and complete vetting. I don't trust the current administration in doing any effective vetting.

Isn't it bad enough that our borders are essentially unsecured, expired visas are ignored, and our immigration laws are not being enforced?

A Perfect Portrait of Islam Painted by Progressive Pundits and Media

Hat tip goes to FBer Robert Moss who posted this pertinent and pointed cartoon about the true motives of the political-militaristic-cultural-religious system called Islam.

 

Taqiyya ("al Taqiyya") is the Muslims' license to lie to infidels in order to camouflage Islam's holy war strategy (jihad) to conquer the world. (1) The main stream media and  many politicians both Democrat and Republican and even some so-called Protestant "Christians" in the United States are complicit in helping Islamists in spreading the lie about the peacefulness and innocuous intentions of Islam. Nothing could be further from the truth.

Stealth Islamic Jihad and Progressive Cultural Perversion

 

Some entity or individual(s) in the Muslim community In Columbus, Ohio and in other cities in the United States recently purchased billboards insulting to Christianity. This incendiary advertisement, during the most sacred of Christian holiday seasons, which culminates with Easter, was meant to test the Christian response. Would there be apathy? Is this the prelude to further insult or injury? Who knows?

Well not all Christians stood idly by and ignored this travesty. Several Christians organized a rally to protest the false message being portrayed and propagated on the billboard. The billboard was changed once the media began to cover the story. The new message as I saw it today read “Muslims love Jesus, too,” which was quite a different message.

At the morning protest, held despite the leftover winter weather – 36 degrees and a cold biting rain – drew a crowd of between 50 and 100 people. Actually this "protest" could actually be considered a praise rally, where the name and nature of the real Jesus was raised up.

 

There was one lone Islamist with a megaphone across the street under the billboard spouting his falsehoods. I paid no attention, except that he said something to the effect that we were telling lies about Islam. What nerve, a case of the teapot calling the kettle black!

 A half dozen men or so Christian activists and leaders along with one recently returning veteran woman, gave speeches accurately describing the truth about Islam and pointing out the inconsistencies and lies that the preachers of this false so-called religion so easy inflict on the sheeple of America.

One of the speakers perceptively described the truth about the “Jesus is Muslim” billboard. He said that in a court of law, making such a testimony would be considered perjury. He said that in a civil lawsuit, it would be considered slander or defamation of character. He stated that in the church, that statement is considered heresy. An in regard to the bible, that statement would be considered blasphemy against God. Above all “Jesus is Muslim” is a lie straight from the pit of hell.

The Progressive Movement in many ways parallels that hypocrisy and bigotry of Islam. Much of the Progressive Movement is built on lies, like the “fact” that abortion is merely the exercise of a woman’s so-called reproductive rights, while ignoring the basic right to life of the aborted child. The left touts its stand against discrimination against homosexual and lesbian behavior and calls for “marriage equality.” Essentially this is calling for the institutionalization of perversion. Global Warming and Evolution are also part of the Progressive religion’s creed.

The progressives’ agenda of mainstreaming and forcing the acceptance and approval of abortion and homosexuality on our society, climate change, evolution, etc. is dangerous. Likewise, Islamists are using the freedom permitted in this country to spread their perverse, vile, and violent political-militaristic-religious system on America, which is equally destructive. One of the speakers pointed out that in Saudi Arabia there was no freedom of religion, except for Islam. In the United States more and more it seems that unless you fully embrace the Liberal or Progressive Agenda you are flat out wrong, haters, intolerable and bigoted.

Islamist and Liberal Progressives seek to anesthetize and desensitize Americans, hoping we will disregard or treat as irrelevant the principles and values that made America great and exceptional in the first place. The church and Christians, conservatives, and all patriots need to wake up and begin to plug the holes in the dyke holding back the water that, if uncontained, will drown our culture.

 

Here are some of the signs I saw today in the crowd included:

*   Jesus is God and He Loves the Muslim (the sign I brought)

*   Wake up Church

*   Jesus is Lord

*   Jesus is the Standard

*   Jesus Lord of Lords

*   Stop Supporting Pagan Traditions

Here is more information about the "Jesus is Muslim" billboard controversy by Dave Daubenmire, one of the key organizers of the praise and protest rally.

 

 

 

Islam the three stages of Jihad, Part 1

Putting Islam Under the Microscope

Americans, unfortunately, are woefully ignorant about the so-called ‘religion’ of Islam. First, it is not merely just another religion like Christianity, Judaism, or Buddhism. It is much more. Islam is a political, militaristic, and religious system. Second, the intent of Islam is to eventually rule, to subjugate the entire world. The video that will be the focus of this series of articles is called, “Three Stages of Islam.” It was created by AnsweringMuslims.com. It is extremely insightful and educational. It lays bare the purposes and the schemes of this cruel and insidious fascist system. It is every bit as pernicious, threatening, and evil as communism.

I would encourage every American to educate himself or herself on this vital subject. The fact is that Islam is the enemy of the United States. Like Marxism and secular humanism that have crept into our culture and taken over many of our institutions, including our education system and has corrupted it beyond recognition, Islam is the second battlefront we face. It is one we must engage. Islam has begun to infiltrate our culture and to indoctrinate Americans as to its real purpose and intent.

Watch and listen carefully to this video and read the transcripts of the video as they are presented here. You will be better equipped to confront the evil and to curtail its advance in this nation. Today we look at an introduction to the three stages of Jihad.

Transcript 0:00 – 2:40 minute mark on the video:

Islam can be a little confusing. You meet a Muslim at the grocery store, the nicest person in the world, cute kids, loves America. Later that day you turn on television and wait a minute, some other Muslim just blew up the grocery store!

What is going on here? Who represents Islam, the peaceful Muslim buying tomatoes, or the violent Muslim bombing tomatoes?

You’d like an answer so you open up the Qur’an, you read in Surah 2:256:  “There is no compulsion in religion.” That sounds peaceful and tolerant. I guess the peaceful Muslims are the true followers of Islam.  Then you go to Surah 9:29:  “Fight those who do not believe in Allah.” That’s not nice, now it seems that the violent Muslims got it right.

The evidence points in different directions. So, what are you supposed to believe?

Barack Obama quote:  “The partnership between America and Islam must be based on what Islam is, not what it isn’t.”

If you ever wondered why there are both peaceful and violent passages in the Qur’an? If it has ever bothered you the Muslims DEMAND religious tolerance in the West, while Christians and Jews cannot build Churches and Synagogues in Saudi Arabia. If you have never quite grasped why organizations like (the Council on American Islamic Relations) C.A.I.R. or (the Islamic Society of North America) I.S.N.A. claim that Islam is a religion of peace, while they support terrorism behind the scenes. Welcome to the most important video you’ll ever watch. You can’t understand Islam in the world today without understanding one fact – JIHAD PROCEDES IN STAGES.

(Just) As the tiny tadpole grows into the bellowing bullfrog, or the lowly acorn becomes the mighty oak, or as adorable Parent Trap Lindsey Lohan transforms into whatever she is now … So also the tolerant toddler of peaceful Islam eventually goes through puberty, that’s when we find out about full blown Jew-hating, church burning, wife beating, apostate killing, Akbar yellin’ Islam is really like in all its blood spattered glory.

Whether you look - at the life of Mohammed, or the early Muslim community, or the Qur’an, or the hadith, or the Surah literature, or classical Muslim commentaries, or modern Muslim scholarship, or the spread of Islam in the world today - you’ll find the exact same pattern.

There are three stages in the call of Jihad, depending on the status of Muslims in a society. And if you understand those three stages, you’ll understand Islam, 14 centuries of Islamic history, and the situation that we are in right now.

To be continued 
                    

Tomorrow we will look at the first stage of Jihad – Stealth Jihad.

                

This is Jihad Awareness Month, Part 3

Here is another excellent educational video revealing more truth about Islam’s core beliefs and America blindness toward them and the threat of Islam.  This is the third and last of a brief series that explores the video’s content. Hat tip again goes to www.AnsweringMuslims.com, where I first saw this timely and informative presentation. I will transcribe a portion of this video.

The transcript for the part three of the transcription of the video starts at 7:55 on the video below, at the point where President Obama speaks about his commitment to:

Here is where we left off yesterday, President Barack Obama annoyingly waxing on and on about the greatness of Islam …

It was Islam – at places like Al-Azhar University – that carried the light of learning through so many centuries, paving the way for Europe's Renaissance and Enlightenment.

Here’s the opposite view shared by David Wood, “Now what’s coming at us? On the one hand we have the jihadists, people whose greatest contribution to military strategy the suicide is bombing.  (Terrorist say,) ‘We just can’t figure out how to kill the infidels without blowing ourselves up in the process.’  These guys are one step away from inventing ejector seats for helicopters or screen doors for submarines. They are not deep thinkers!

“And on the other hand, we have the Obama administration and the media, people who would run from their own shadows if that shadow wre ever to make a true statement about Islam. The anti-American Dream Team consists almost entirely of cowards and morons. The only way we could ever be defeated by a force like that is if we do absolutely nothing.

“So let’s not do nothing when the President strives to impose willful ignorance, paradoxically on the intelligence community. We should strive even harder to spread accurate information about Islam.

“If the President goes a mile for the Muslim Brotherhood, we need to go 3 miles for freedom. When the President adds a brick to his wall of deception, let’s take down 5 bricks. That’s how you defeat a campaign of misinformation.”

Here’s some more drivel from the President,

Partnership between America and Islam must be based on what Islam is, not what Islam isn’t.

David Wood announces, “I’ll be doing my part this month in honor of the President’s decision to blindfold the agents who really, really need to see where to pin the tail. We’ll be having JIHAD AWARENESS MONTH over at www.AnsweringMuslims.com. Plenty of articles to read, new videos to forward, maybe some pamphlets you can print out and pass around.

“But whether you get your information from me or other sources, let’s all make an effort this month to learn a few essential passages from the Qur’an and the hadith to share those passages with others, and to work just a little harder than the media-endorsed-Obama-Approved Muslim Brotherhood front groups that seek our annihilation.

“I encourage everyone to get involved with some of the organizations that are standing up for human rights and educating people about jihad and Sharia. Organizations like:

·         American Freedom Defense Initiative http://FreedomDefense.typepad.com/

·         Stop Islamization of America http://StopIslamizationofAmerica.blogspot.com

·         Act for America http://www.ActforAmerica.org

“Teamwork has its advantages especially when the stakes are so high.

“And finally, I don’t care if you live on Mars, make sure you attend the Jessica Mokdad Human Rights Conference coming up in April (2012). This human rights discussion needs to take place, and there is no better place to have it in America than Dearborn, Michigan. See you there!”

Hopefully this transcript helped in your appreciation of the video. It really helped me to grasp the message. Islam is a present danger to America. Like socialism/communism that has invaded our intitutions, media, government, corporations, churches, and education, we face an equally evil and subversive threat to our values and principles and way of life from the political-militaristic-cultural-religious system, Islam.

I suggest these additions to the list of organizations to those mentioned by Mr. Wood that would help you becoming more educated about Islam:

·         Center for Security Policy http://www.centerforsecuritypolicy.org/  

·         Straightway Ministries http://www.thestraightway.org/

·         Islamic Jihad Watch http://islamicjihadwatch.wordpress.com/

Shoddy Reporting on the Religion of Islam by ABC News, Part 12

I came across a critique of the ABC News 20/20 program, “Islam: Questions and Answers.” That program originally was broadcast a year or so ago. A recent YouTube exposé points out 20 errors in the hour long supposed ‘news’ program. This is a twelfth of a series of posts series of posts that will delve into the various errors made by Diane Sawyer, Bill Weir, and guests on this program. I am not quite sure whether this was just a case of very bad or sloppy reporting, or merely a succumbing to political correctness, or outright lies about the so-called ‘religion’ of peace.

Here is the video, “Whitewashing Islam – 20 Errors on 20/20 (ABC News).” Following the video is a transcript of the next errors found in the ‘news’ production.

Error #17

[Transcription below for above video beginning at 19:16 on the video] 

Irshad Manji continues to lie through her pearly white ‘but false’ teeth:

“The Qur’an is very, very clear that in the eyes of (the Islamic) god men and women have equal rights and equal responsibilities.”

David Wood quote three clear passages from the Qur’an in retort to Miss Manji’s deliberate misstatement of Islamic teaching, “Surah 4:32 says that men can marry up to four women have the right to marry up to four men? No.

Wood continues, “Surah 4:24 says that Muslim men can have sex with their female captives and slave girls. Do women get to have sex with their male captives and slave boys? No.  Surah 4:34 says that men can beat their wives into submission.  Do women get to beat their husbands into submission? No.

Wood concludes, “So do men and women have equal rights and responsibilities in the Qur’an? No. Men and women are about as equal as hammers and nails in the Qur’an!”

Error #18

[Transcription below for above video beginning at 20:02 on the video] 

Irshad Manji continues to revise Islam history:

“As the prophet Mohammed’s ‘beloved’ first wife, Cadiga, was a wealthy self -made entrepreneur.”

David Wood comments on the statement just uttered by Miss Manji, “Now Irsad Manji is correct when she said Cadiga was a wealthy entrepreneur. So that is not the error. The error is that Irsda uses this to prove that men and women are equal in Islam. Cadiga was a wealthy entrepreneur BEFORE Islam, BEFORE she married Mohammed, and BEFORE Mohammed received his first revelation!

“So what does her status as a businesswoman tell us about Islam? ABSOLUTELY NOTHING!

“If we want to learn something about women in Islam let’s listen to someone with a little more experience of life with Mohammed. In Sahih al-Bukhari 5825 Mohammed’s child-bride A’isha says, “I have not seen any woman suffering as much as the believing women.”

“According to A’isha, the mother of the faithful, the believing women, the Muslim Women, were suffering more than the pagan women. And, by the way, the context of this quotation is that the Muslim man has beaten his wife until her skin turned green! A’isha was complaining about Muslim women being brutally beaten by their Muslim husbands. She realized that non-Muslim women were much safer because their husbands didn’t have a revelation from (the Islamic) god advocating spousal abuse!

“But this doesn’t matter at all to ABC because Mohammed 15 years before he declared himself to be a prophet married a rich old widow. I guess that settles things!”

I am beginning to see more and more evidence that the god of Islam and the God of the Judeo-Christianity are not the same. Islam, with all its trappings, is dangerous and is a threat to the United States. Sharia Law can never be tolerated without abridging individual freedom.  It is a boldfaced lie for this moderate Muslim Manji to say that in Islam men and women are equal. She is either herself blinded from the truth and is deceived, or she is trying to blatantly deceive naïve Americans with her malicious statements! I firmly believe that it is the latter.

Shoddy Reporting on the Religion of Islam by ABC News, Part 11

I came across a critique of the ABC News 20/20 program, “Islam: Questions and Answers.” That program originally was broadcast a year or so ago. A recent YouTube video exposé points out 20 errors in the hour long supposed ‘news’ program. This is a eleventh of a series of posts series of posts that will delve into the various errors made by Diane Sawyer, Bill Weir, and guests on this 20/20 program. I am not quite sure whether this was just a case of very bad or sloppy reporting, or merely a succumbing to political correctness, or outright lies about the so-called ‘religion’ of peace.

Here is the video, “Whitewashing Islam – 20 Errors on 20/20 (ABC News).” Following the video is a transcript of the next errors found in the ‘news’ production.

Error #15

[Transcription below for above video beginning at 16:27 on the video] 

ABC News now spotlights Reza Aslan, author of “No god, but God,” who spouts more nonsense:

“A FATWA is nothing more than just one cleric’s opinion. You could issue a FATWA that Coke is evil and that you should drink Pepsi. FAWAS are a dime a dozen. They are meaningless.”

David Wood responds to Mr. Aslan by asking and then explaining, “‘FATWAS are meaningless?’  No more than opinions?

“FATWAS are rulings by Muslim scholars based on Mohammed’s teachings. They don’t carry any additional weight beyond the quotations from Mohammed and the Qur’an.  But they are definitely not meaningless. They contain the commands of Allah and Mohammed."

Error #16

[Transcription below for above video beginning at 17:05 on the video] 

A viewer to the 20/20 program asks the question,

“Does the Qur’an teach the practice of TAKIYYA – lying to non-Muslims to advance and protect Islam?”

Disappointedly, in answer to the viewer’s insightful question, Bill Weir incredibly asserts,

“According to the ‘experts; an OBSCURE law called TAKIYYA did allow EARLY Muslims to deny their faith but only under the threat of persecution.”

David Wood comment on this glaring deception, “Recall the woman’s question, “Does the Qur’an teach the practice of TAKIYYA deceiving non Muslims?” Unlike ABC News, I’ll actually quote the Qur’an for you.

Qur’an 3:28 – Let not the believers take disbelievers for their friends in preference to believers. Who so doeth that hath no connection with Allah unless (it be) that you but guard yourselves against them, taking (as it were) security.

“According to this verse, which uses a form of the word TAKIYYA, meaning concealment, in order to guard yourself. Muslims are not allowed to be friends with non-Muslims, unless they are outnumbered and they feel like they’re in danger from a stronger adversary. That is when Muslims are allowed to pretend to be friendly. One of Islam’s greatest scholars Ibn Kathir comments,

Ibn Kathir – “In this case, such believers are allowed to show friendship outwardly, but never inwardly.”

“Abu Darda, one of Mohammed’s companions put it this way,

Abu Darda – “We smile in the face of some people, although our hearts curse them.”

“As for ABC’s claim that TAKIYYA is ‘just an obscure law for early Muslims, Mohammed’s companion Al Hasan said,

Al Hasan – “TAKIYYA is allowed until the Day of Resurrection.”

“So Muslims have a choice, they can either go with the Qur’an and Mohammed, and Mohammed’s companions and Islam’s greatest scholars and deceive us by smiling in our faces while cursing us in their hearts, or they can go with ABC’s Bill Weir, who although he knows next to NOTHING about Islam does do a remarkable impression of putty from Seinfeld …”

Just a note, the man quoted above, Reza Aslan, in a recent tweet commented,

@rezaaslan Sample Reza Aslan [tweet 12/2/2011]

Perfect! Trump moderated GOP debate proves once and for all this is not a nomination but a reality show filled with clowns & media whores.
.

Not only does Aslan seem to be pro-Islam, he practices TAKIYYA in lying about FATWAS, and he also insults America in the above tweet. I would not be at all surprised if he is doing all he can to advance the cause of Islam including the subversion and eventual destruction or subjugation of the United States for his god. By the way, I don’t believe that the god Muslims worship is the God of the Judeo-Christian scriptures. The God I know is not a self-absorbed, hateful, vengeful, as the Qur’an paints the god of Mohammed and Islam.

Shoddy Reporting on the Religion of Islam by ABC News, Part 10

I came across a scathing critique of the ABC News 20/20 program, “Islam: Questions and Answers.” That program originally was broadcast a year or so ago. A recent YouTube exposé points out 20 errors in the hour long supposed ‘news’ program. This is a tenth of a series of posts series of posts that will delve into the various errors made by Diane Sawyer, Bill Weir, and guests on this program. I am not quite sure whether this was just a case of very bad or sloppy reporting, or merely a succumbing to political correctness, or outright lies about the so-called ‘religion’ of peace.

Here is the video, “Whitewashing Islam – 20 Errors on 20/20 (ABC News).” Following the video is a transcript of the next error found in the ‘news’ production.

Error #14

[Transcription below for above video beginning at 15:18 on the video] 

Bill Weir of ABC News spouts more nonsense:

“Dictators combine that resentment with a PERVERTED version of Islam and manipulated their people with a ‘holy’ hated of America.”

David Wood rejects this lie, “‘Dictators use a PERVERTED version of Islam to incite hatred against America.’  Let me break this down for you, because a drugged monkey could figure this one out. Listen to the Qur’an:

(Surah) Qur’an 5:33 – The punishment of those who wage war against Allah and His Apostle and strive to make mischief in the land is only this, that they should be murdered or crucified, or their hands and their feet should be cut off on opposite sides, or they should be imprisoned.

“Here we have various penalties for making mischief in a Muslim land depending on the severity of the offense. The worst form of mischief-making is bring a non-Muslim military into a Muslim country. Has the United States done that? Yes. What is the penalty, according to the Qur’an? Death. Do Muslim leaders need to pervert Islam in order to fuel hatred against America? No. They is just needs the Qur’an!”

Based on this teaching of Mohammed, Representative Ron Paul is correct when he says America’s physical presence in the Middle East incites and causes the violence that has been unleashed on the U.S. and its military. But Bill Weir is wrong when he calls the current interpretation of Mohammed’s clear teaching “a perverted form” of Islam. No, it is the ‘pure’ and intentional interpretation of Islam. The teaching itself and not its application by dictators, I would argue, is perverted.

Moreover, the Islamic principles applied by dictators, like King Abdullah bin Abdul Aziz Al Saud of Saudi Arabia, or President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, or by any other Islamic terrorists, or even by subversive, seditious Imams ‘serving’ in American mosques or prisons, are just being true and obedient to Mohammed’s dictates. Therefore, there is no perverted version of Islam, it is what it is, Islam.

Shoddy Reporting on the Religion of Islam by ABC News, Part 9

I came across a critique of the ABC News 20/20 program, “Islam: Questions and Answers.” That program originally was broadcast a year or so ago. A recent YouTube exposé points out 20 errors in the hour long supposed ‘news’ program. This is a ninth of a series of posts that will delve into the various errors made by Diane Sawyer, Bill Weir, and guests on this program. I am not quite sure whether this was just a case of very bad or sloppy reporting, or merely a succumbing to political correctness, or outright lies about the so-called ‘religion’ of peace.

Here is the video, “Whitewashing Islam – 20 Errors on 20/20 (ABC News).” Following the video is a transcript of the next errors found in the ‘news’ production.



Error #12

[Transcription below for above video beginning at 10:26 on the video] 

Bill Weir introduces Tawfik Hamid, Senior Fellow with the Potomac Institute:

“He says best sellers, like “The Way of the Muslim,” are often quoted in place of the Qur’an and contain ‘dangerous’ ideas.”

Tawfik Hamid comments,

“…which means the blood money or compensation for killing of the disbeliever is half of the blood money of the Muslim man. When you devalue the life of the non-Muslim that is the root cause of the problem. Terrorism is the last step.”

David Wood responds, “Now this is just hilarious. Radical Muslims are quoting books in place of the Qur’an! And they’re using these modern books to justify killing. What is the real source of terrorism? Devaluing the lives of non-Muslims by saying that the blood money for killing a non-Muslim is half as much as the blood money for killing a Muslim. How do these modern Muslim authors ever come up with such a horrible teaching? THEY GOT IT FROM MOHAMMED!

Sunan Abu Dawid 45:27 – The value of the bloodwit in the time of the Apostle of Allah was eight hundred dinars or eight thousand dirhams, and the bloodwit for the People of the Book (Jews and Christians) was half that for Muslims.

“Are you catching this? According to ABC News the real source of jihad and terrorism isn’t Mohammed’s teachings. No, the violence springs from modern books from modern Muslim authors, who as you just saw, are getting their views directly from Mohammed’s teachings!

Error #13

[Transcription below for above video beginning at 14:42 on the video] 

ABC’s Bill Weir makes another fantastic assertion:

Radicals have used these murder and martyr myths…

David Wood disagrees using Islamic texts to refute this obvious falsehood, ““Murder and martyr myths,” all this talk about jihad and fighting unbelievers and martyrdom it is all based on MYTHS. I guess that is why Mohammed said in

Sahih al Bukhari 2797 – By Him in whose hand my soul is! I would love to be martyred in Allah’s cause and then come back to life again and then get martyred and then come back to life again, and then get martyred and then come back to life again and then get martyred.

“Just myths?”

Apparently ABC News and its assorted ‘experts’ like Mr. Hamid are trying to divert attention away from the real and root cause of jihad and terrorism.  They’ll blame modern day authors and they even try conjure up the notion that martyrdom in Islam is a myth. Wow, afraid of the truth, are we? Mohammed’s clear and adulterated teachings are the source and the driving motivation of Islamic terrorism in the world today. Al Qaeda, Hamas, Hezbollah, Muslim Brotherhood, and many subversive Imams in American mosques today, all embrace the teachings of the prophet of Allah.

Isn’t this sort of like the current occupier of the White House blaming his predecessor, blaming the tsunami in Japan, blaming ATMs, blaming Congress, blaming the GOP for the economic crisis? When, truth be known and faced, he had such a great part in expanding, in worsening. He refuses to take any responsibility for his failed economic policies and actions which contributed so greatly to the problem. Likewise, the appeasers of Islam such as ABC News ‘reporters’ refuse to acknowledge that the teachings and doctrines is Islam are flawed, fomenting, and often fatal for unbelievers.

Shoddy Reporting on the Religion of Islam by ABC News, Part 8

I came across a critique of the ABC News 20/20 program, “Islam: Questions and Answers.”

That flawed program originally was broadcast a year or so ago. A recent YouTube exposé points out more than 20 errors in the hour long supposed ‘news’ program. This is a eighth of a series of posts that will delve into the various errors made by Diane Sawyer, Bill Weir, and guests on this program. I am not quite sure whether this was just a case of very bad or sloppy reporting, or merely a succumbing to political correctness, or outright lies about the so-called ‘religion’ of peace.

Embedded below is the video, “Whitewashing Islam – 20 Errors on 20/20 (ABC News).” Following the video is a transcript of the next error found in the ‘news’ production.

Error #10

[Transcription below for above video beginning at 10:26 on the video] 

Bill Weir makes the following unfounded assertion:

“And the Qur’an only calls for jihad against invaders threatening a Muslim home.”

Annoyed by yet another misrepresentation, David Wood states, “I’ll tell you what Bill, I’ll read the verse and you tell me where you are getting confused.

Surah 9:29 – Fight (whom? Invaders? No) those who believe not in Allah [so this is based on fighting people based on what they believe] nor the last Day, nor hold that forbidden by Allah and His Messenger, nor acknowledge the Religion of Truth, from among the People of the Book (that’s Jews and Christians), until they pay the JUZYAH with willing submission, and feel themselves subdued.

“Does that sound like it has ANYTHING to do with fighting invaders? No. You know why? Because it has nothing to do with fighting invaders. It’s a command to fight unbelievers. When this was first ‘revealed,’ Muslims began their long tradition of OFFENSIVE JIHAD – fighting to subjugate all non-Muslims!

“You will not learn any of this from ABC News, though."

Error #11

[Transcription below for above video beginning at 11:54 on the video] 

Bill Weir now interviews Ms. Irshad Manji. Manji is the Director of the Moral Courage Project at New York University. He asks her,

“Is there anything in the Qur’an that promises the 72 virgins for the ‘holy’ martyrs?”

Irshad Manji, a thoroughly modern Muslim, straight faced answer is just outrageous,

“I don’t see any evidence of it in the Qur’an for the pledge of 72 virgins. This ‘notion’ of the virgins actually comes from a mistranslation with the ‘real’ translation being 72 ‘raisins.’

David Wood studiously reports, “There are actually 2 separate errors here [11A and 11B!].

“Irshad Manji seems to think that the number of 72 comes from the Qur’an. It doesn’t. it comes fromthe Hadith.

“Then she tell us the Qur’an doesn’t say Muslims will get virgins in paradise. It says that they’ll get ‘RAISINS!’ This is a mangled edition of an argument by Chrisoph Luxenberg.

"The main problem with Irshad Manji’s claims what the Qur’an says about these houtis. The Qur’an says these Muslims will marry the houtis. It says that the houtis will be chaste and beautiful. It says the houtis will have beautiful eyes and large breasts, and that they’ll love their husbands".

See Qur’an 44:51-54, 52:20, 55:54-56, 55:70-74, 56:22-24, 56:35-38, 78:31-34.

"It’s fine with me if Irshad Manji wants to translate ‘houtis as (meaning) ‘raisins,’ but if she does, Islam has got a lot creepier!"

Miss Manji, this past June released a book with the almost laughable title, “Allah, Liberty and Love, The Courage to Reconcile Faith and Freedom.” Based on everything this modern moderate Muslim Madame muffed by her misstatements about Islam above, the book has got to be classified as fiction. One wonders if this woman has even read the Qur’an and other Islamic documents. Or, if she has read the ‘sacred’ texts, why she wants to so distort and to hide the truth of Islam from the American people. In addition, I never associated Liberty and Love with the god of Islam. However, Islam and its god are oppressive, tyrannical, and hateful, inspiring world-wide terrorism, but Love, Liberty, Freedom, Faith? I don’t think so.

For those curious about learning more about Miss Manji (I don’t know why anyone would), Amazon.com offers a bio of this liberal and revisionist Muslim:

(Irshad Manj) “is a Canadian author, journalist and an advocate of "reform and progressive" interpretation of Islam. Manji is director of the Moral Courage Project at the Robert F. Wagner Graduate School of Public Service at New York University, which aims to teach young leaders to "challenge political correctness, intellectual conformity and self-censorship." Manji is a well-known critic of traditional mainstream Islam and was described by The New York Times as "Osama bin Laden's worst nightmare".
