What The Qur'an Says About Non-Muslims

You can look up the following passages in any Qur'an. The first number is the chapter or "sura" number, the second number is the verse. Here's what the Qur'an says about non-Muslims:

They (people of the book, meaning Jews and Christians) disbelieve in Allah and confound truth with falsehood (3:70-3:71). Christians lie when they talk about the son of God (18:4-5).

Jesus taught them compassion and mercy in the Gospels, but Christians turned to monasticism…many of them are evil-livers (57:27).

Fight against them, kill, convert, or subdue them and (only if it is beneficial to Islam) force them to pay a tax that Muslims do not have to pay (9:29-35). If they refuse to pay, kill them. (Other option is slavery).

Non-Muslims are condemned to hell/cursed/doomed/bad/evil/turned into swine or apes, etc. (2:61, 4:48, 4:50, 4:116, 4:47-52, 4:55, 4:157, 4:160, 5:12-5:13, 5:37, 5:51, 5:53, 5:59-60, 5:72-73, 5:79, 9:29-35, 18:52, 33:26, 59:14, 98:1).

Jews will face Allah’s wrath because they made friendships with those who disbelieve (5:80).

Must convert to Allah only, or else be doomed (2:62-65, 3:85). Note that 3:85 refers explicitly to the Islamic religion as the “Surrender.” Jews are wrong-doers who will face a painful doom unless they believe in Allah (4:160-161).

He who ascribes partners to Allah is lost, as if a bird has snatched him out of the air and taken him away (22:31)

Mohammad (Allah) says Jews look ugly and they are foolish (62:5). Jews are greedy (2:91), and are evil-livers (5:59).

Allah will mock Christians when they burn in Hell, asking them Where are your partners now? (40:73).

Priests and Rabbis do “evil work” (5:63). Many Jews guilty of evil conduct (5:81). Jews act like Christians when they are around Christians (5:82).

Some of them (people of the scripture) are believers, but most of them are evil-livers (3:110), wretchedness is upon them because they disbelieved, slew the prophets wrongfully, were rebellious and transgressed (3:112).

Muslims won’t get hurt fighting them (the people of the book), who will turn and flee and afterwards will not be helped (3:111)

The Jews and Christians flung the scripture behind their backs and gained evil (3:187)

Christians and Jews who disbelieve scripture are the worst creatures in Allah’s sight (98:6) and will receive hell-fire.

Idolaters are unclean (9:28). Turn away from idolaters (6:106). Don’t pray for idolaters (9:113). Let the idolaters kill their own children (6:137).

U.S. Muslims Taken Aback

"American Muslim groups responded with uncustomary silence on Tuesday to the news that leaders of a Muslim charity shut down by the federal government had been convicted in a retrial of money laundering, tax fraud and supporting terrorism," says an article in the New York Times.

I love this:

Hina Shamsi, a lawyer with the National Security Project of the A.C.L.U., said, “The Islamic Society of North America does a lot of outreach and interfaith dialogue, and works in cooperation with the F.B.I., and yet, as a result of this stigma, its reputation has been deeply harmed.”

“The irony is obviously that this is the very community whose cooperation the government most needs for effective counterterrorism,” she added.

Yes, of course, everyone knows how helpful it is to have Muslims with intimate ties to terrorists, who are funneling money to terrorists, and who help keep the American non-Muslims confused about Islam, how helpful it is to have those people "helping" the FBI with their counterterrorism efforts! What, is Shamsi on their payroll too?

What Is Happening In Italy

ON THE ARTICLE, At War With Islam, I got the following comments from Rick of Italy, and I am publishing them as an article with his permission (and with some editing). The Islamization process is much further advanced in European countries than it is in the United States. Their Muslim citizens are a larger percentage of their populations. And here is what at least one man in Italy is experiencing:

The problem is not only American. I am based in Italy and our government and political parties keep stressing the "difference" between so called "moderate" Muslims and integralists.

Integralists are those who're more prone to be terrorists...those who behead people, while "moderate" are those whom, in the safe living room of their safe houses in their safe Western welcoming countries clap at the actions of the integralists. And when they go out they show disregard (rarely) against terrorism.

I can see the increased arrogance of black African Muslims in Italy miles away. Till they were only a bunch of people we all helped them thinking they were needy. Many of us swallowed the pill of multiculturality. Now that they increased in number, they are showing their real colors...for those who can see. Superiority complexes, subtle implies threats about their future dominations, etc. All this in the total blindness of our government, no matter which party.

Seven years in the UK and France showed me enough of Islam and how they treat women and how double-sided they are.

It is so obvious what they are doing that I am amazed at how people can keep thinking they are nice people. And they are the same slowtards whom, later on will say "Who could imagine they would do something like this! My neighbor was so nice and his kids used to play with mine."

They are exactly the same people! More than the media...it's people's blindness. If they only took a world map and saw what Muslims are doing around the world, bribing politicians in the EU to rectify history, bribing more politicians in single countries to get Shari'a enforced, etc. If they saw this they wouldn't be so happy and positive about it.

Mind blindness and lack of mental clarity is one of the worst things a human being can happen to have and at the moment. Most people are biased by the idyllic (and fake) theory that we're all alike (created from scratch after WW 2 just to avoid new Nazism cases in Europe and the world). We are not all alike and Muslims are the best proof of what I am saying. Background, upbringing, religions, family education and brainwashing all make people different from one another. Paradoxically, if we were really ALL ALIKE ALL EQUALS....WE WOULD ALSO BE ALL NAZIS and the ANTINAZIS WOULD BE NAZIS. It's a theory that crumbles down on its own pillars.

WE ARE NOT ALL ALIKE and ISLAM has declared (not so) silent war on the rest of the world.

A Muslim woman interviewed in Italy said, "You don't have to fear; we'll eventually outnumber you and then we'll turn Italy into an Islamic country. It's the natural order and was forecast by Mohammad. After all, for every kid you (Catholics/atheist Italians) make, we (the Muslims) make 3, 4 or 5."

And that's only one. They say it with a satisfied grin on their face, with the self-confident arrogance of those who know nothing can happen to them for the things they say!

[At this point, I told Rick I had just seen the video What Islam is Not, and that one of the ways to wage jihad is to have lots of children.] Then Rick wrote:

I am based very near to Africa in Italy, so we have a lot of "imported" Muslim Africans. There is not even need to watch all those movies (which I have widely seen on other occasions). I simply need to stop one on the street and ask him. He'll tell you what his opinion is, with such a self-confidence you can't even imagine.

Only two things I don't share with your analysis, as I've read around the posts on your blog, and they are:

1) Freedom as a unifying factor. Religion is more powerful than the concept of freedom for many reasons. Religion still is a strong unifying value. And democracy is undergoing a crisis due to corruption, etc. And Muslims are very much aware of this.

2) The fact that you can stop them with "civil" actions.

My personal opinion is that we'll end at war with them, sooner or later. I don't know why our governments are doing what they are doing, but sooner or later someone will begin to act within the government influence or out of it. In Europe there is a growing Islamophobic tendency. It's hidden because they blame you immediately for racism (especially in Northern Europe — in the UK, Netherlands, and Scandinavian countries in particular), but people are really fed up. Fed up of Muslims, fed up of our governments allowing them for oil, and trade, and careers, and personal interests, etc. There is also a rebirth of extreme right movements, inspired by Nazism but with a strong Islamophobic nuance (and of course against Jews too but Muslims are item number one on the agenda).

In my opinion, immigration should be left aside of trade agreements, while at the moment it is a primary item in the agenda and that's not good. You can't mix wolves, lions and sheep together.

My idea is we'll end up at war with those. We have known Muslims for centuries here, and they don't give up until you leave them one chance to do something. Letting them in a country to do what they do can only be because of two factors.

1) Ignorance and/or...

2) Personal interests (Bribing, corruption, career issues, etc.)

People like me will never even wonder what they do in places like Guantanamo or when the U.S. exerts forced "pickups" of Muslim leaders in our countries. People like me wonder WHY GOVERNMENTS KEEP LETTING THEM IN.

For example, Italy it's a Catholic country. ONE WIFE/ONE HUBBY. Muslims are polygamous and polygamy is expressly forbidden. But they keep bringing in their 3 or 4 wives here and all those kids, and then live on the dole with houses, minimum wages, etc. provided by the government.

You ask a police officer, "Why don't you punish him for his 4 wives?" The answer is: "Well if I put him in jail they will claim we're intolerant and will begin to make public manifestations on streets. Plus, communist/left organizations will begin to protect them and we will have to release them."

That's the situation here! We had Imams clearly stating they are here to Islamize Italy. They claimed that on TV, in front of a million people and they are still there.

Hence, I don't think our governments know what they are doing.

[That's what Rick of Italy had to say. I agree with him about governments. Most of the people in politics don't know even the most basic Islamic principles, and even if they did, they probably wouldn't know what to do about it. It's up to ordinary citizens to do something about it, to spread the word, to help educate our fellow citizens, to figure out solutions, and to put pressure on the politicians to do what needs to be done. It's up to us. Like Rick, I don't think our governments know what they are doing.]

Somalia's Islamic Pirates

The following is from an article called Pirates Exploit Confusion about International Law:

On Saturday, off the coast of East Africa, pirates seized their largest catch ever: a giant Saudi-owned oil tanker called the Sirius Star. The brazen attack came on the heels of the capture of a Ukrainian vessel (loaded with armaments destined for Kenya) by Somali pirates in September. Humanitarian food shipments into Somalia have had naval escort for nearly a year — evidence of how much the security of sea-lanes has eroded. Media reports suggest that Somali pirates have already attacked more than 80 ships in 2008. [You will see in the report below, the number is already up to 95.]

By the 1970s, as a part of a growing chaos in parts of Africa and Asia, incidents of piracy began to pick up. But it was not until the 21st century that piracy has experienced a meteoric rise, with the number of attacks increasing by double-digit rates per year. Last year, according to the International Maritime Bureau, 263 actual and attempted pirate attacks took place. Large maritime areas have now become known as pirate heavens, where mariners can expect to be routinely molested.

Experience — especially that of colonial America — suggests that a few sporadic antipirate efforts will not be enough to solve the problem. Only a dedicated naval campaign, along with a determined effort to close the pirates' safe havens, will succeed in sending piracy back to the history books.

There has been some progress on this front. The North Atlantic Treaty Organization has dispatched a formidable multinational force — including British, Italian and Greek ships — to join the American, French, Canadian and Danish vessels already cruising off Somalia's vast coastline. France has also aggressively pursued pirates, freeing captured vessels and hostages.

One thing is certain: As in the war on terror, the new campaign against piracy will test the mettle of Western governments. It will also require them to balance the rights of lawbreakers against the indisputable rights of the law-abiding to not live their lives in danger and fear.

The following is quoted from an article called Somalia's Dangerous Waters:

In the bad old days they used to hang them on the mast. Today the "international community" is worried about their "human rights." But they remain what they have always been — criminals of the high seas or, simply put, pirates. In recent years they have been active in a number of places — Nigeria, the Malacca Straits and, most blatantly, Somalia. The difference is that in the former two cases pirates are mostly freelancers, while in the latter case piracy is the national industry (together with the cultivation of khat, the Somali narcotic of choice). Piracy flourishes along the Somali coast because it is profitable and it can be done at small risk. [Not to mention the fact that imitating the example of Mohammad is obligatory on all Muslims, and Mohammad was a raider of caravans, usually taking the plunder to fund his jihad and ransoming the wealthy people he captured, and enslaving the rest.]

As Mary Harper reported for the BBC: “Whenever word comes out that pirates have taken yet another ship in the Somali region of Puntland, extraordinary things start to happen. There is a great rush to the port of Eyl, where most of the hijacked vessels are kept by the well-armed pirate gangs. People put on ties and smart clothes. They arrive in land cruisers with their laptops, one saying he is the pirates’ accountant, another that he is their chief negotiator. Special restaurants have even been set up to prepare food for the crews of the hijacked ships.”

Reporter Jonathan Clayton, meanwhile, provided this portrait of life in a pirate city: "Activity in Eyl moves up a gear. Clan elders arrive, eager to broker a deal between their young clansmen, who use speedboats to board vessels, and shipping companies eager to pay a ransom for cargoes and staff. The ransoms are sometimes paid into foreign accounts in places such as the United Arab Emirates and even Western Europe, and may also be paid in cash through middlemen in neighboring Kenya. These have spawned more pirate gangs, armed with better weapons and better attack boats.” [This is the same mistake Europe and America made in the 1500's, 1600's and 1700's with the Muslim pirates on the Barbary Coast. They armed and funded the enemy.]

Even Abdullahi Said O’Yusuf, the mayor of Eyl, has admitted that pirates use ransom payments to "buy houses in big cities" in different parts of the country. All of these activities mean local jobs, a share of the loot, delivered through clan elders, and strong popular support. It also involves the shrewd manipulation of Western respect for the law, a concept that does not exist locally.

Since the beginning of 2008, pirates operating off the Somali coast have seized 95 ships, the most spectacular being the Saudi-owned Sirius Star, a supertanker carrying 2 million barrels of oil, more than a quarter of Saudi Arabia’s daily exports and worth about $100 million. Insurance companies have so far paid hundreds of millions of dollars in ransoms for ships and crews, with the rate per ship varying from $300,000 to $1.5 million. As a result, insurance premiums have gone up by 10 percent and the increasingly frequent change of ship routes, from the Suez Canal to that around the Cape of Good Hope, is 30 percent longer and 20,000-30,000 Euros a day more expensive.

Something can and should be done about this, and the rest of the article goes into detail about what needs to be done.
