Vin's Notes on Islamism: Part Nine

by VIN IENCO April 26, 2011
 
 
When Freedom is a Dirty Word
 
 
Sharia punishment in Aceh, Indonesia.
 
On the 12th Of February this year, after 18 days of revolution, President Hosni Sayyid Mubaraks rule of 29 years was over. After some reservations, he decided to listen to the swelling and determined populace and step down from power. The media couldn’t contain itself and splashed headlines like ‘Go Egypt, freedom is sweet’ and ‘Joy as Egypt is free’. From Scotland to Australia to America, the headlines beamed free, free and free.
 
What Egypt got and what Libya will get is anything but freedom. The very concept of freedom in Islam is nonexistent. As the word ‘Islam’ means submission, there isn’t room for much else at all. Allah does not believe in freedom as it allows for idol worship.
 
In Saudi Arabia, Tunisia and Syria, the uprising of people was deemed un-Islamic. Under Islamic or Sharia law, protesting or criticism of the Government is haram (forbidden) and crushing such notions is to be expected, it is Allah’s word.
 
Qur'an (4:59) - "O you who believe! Obey Allah and obey the Messenger and those in authority from among you..."  
 
Obedience is strictly limited to the government drawn only from the pool of believers, not from the broader community.
 
Qur'an (5:49) - "So judge between them by that which Allah hath revealed, and follow not their desires, but beware of them lest they seduce thee from some part of that which Allah hath revealed unto thee". 
 
Here we see that Allah’s law takes priority over a person’s desires. If a Muslims loyalty is divided, this clarifies where the loyalty must fall.
 
Bukhari says in 89:251 –
 
Allah's Apostle said, "Whoever obeys me, obeys Allah, and whoever disobeys me, disobeys Allah, and whoever obeys the ruler I appoint, obeys me, and whoever disobeys him, disobeys me." 
 
Muslims will readily tell us that we ‘cherry-pick’ verses from the Koran and that we have misunderstood or misinterpreted the verse. It seems also that the respected Islamic mouthpieces, dictators and Imams etc, must also have it wrong.
 
 
Sayyid Qutb (1906 – 1966) in an Egyptian prison.
 
Cleric Sayyid Qutb, (Egyptian Cleric, author, educator, Islamist, poet, and the leading intellectual of the Egyptian Muslim Brotherhood in the 1950s and '60s), “It is Allah and not man who rules.  Allah is the source of all authority, including legitimate political authority. Virtue, not freedom, is the highest value.  Therefore, Allah's law, not men, should govern the society."
 
Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini (Iranian religious leader and politician, and leader of the 1979 Iranian Revolution): ‘Don't listen to those who speak of democracy. They all are against Islam. They want to take the nation away from its mission. We will break all the poison pens of those who speak of nationalism, democracy, freedom and such things’.
 
Anjem Choudary (English born former solicitor and proscribed spokesman for the Islamist group Muslims against Crusaders): ‘Nowadays, people worship idols which are more intellectual - like democracy, liberalism, freedom and so on. So these need to be destroyed as well, and replaced with worshipping and obeying Allah’.
 
Abu Bakar Bashir (Godfather of Indonesian Terror Group Jemaah Islamiyah), The west is trying to weaken Islam from within with ideas like secularism, freedom, liberalism and democracy. This is all designed to contaminate our pure Islam.
 
You can readily find video of Muslims protesting in adopted nations, like Britain and countries of Europe screaming ‘freedom, go to hell’ and ‘democracy, go to hell’. The irony is that they are able to assemble and protest and say such things as they live in a free society. These protests normally call for the implementation of Sharia Law, which further hinders human rights and freedoms.
 
Under Sharia Law, you are free to have your limbs ‘cross amputated’ (opposing leg and hand), if you steal something. Al Shabab executed such justice on three teenagers last week. A large crowd assembled and watched as ‘masked men with long knives’, performed the amputations. Al Shabab is the biggest organization confronting Somalia’s transitional federal government. The group already carried out public execution, amputations and flogging in southern parts of the country.
 
All across the Islamic world a raped woman is free to be hung or stoned or imprisoned for life. The ‘justice’ isn’t handed down based on a jury of 12 of her peers, but in her lack of providing 4 pious male adult Muslim witnesses.
 
In the USA and the UK, the lawmakers believe the lies told to them that Sharia is about justice in divorce and inheritance. Islam commands that a woman receives half of the inheritance of a man, though that hasn’t stopped merry old England opening over 100 Sharia Courts. No fewer than a dozen US states have anti –Sharia legislation on the table and CAIR is there fighting them, every step of the way.
 
Make no mistake, Islamic Law and the freedoms that we enjoy today ARE in polar opposite of each other. As the English Philosopher Bertrand Russell said, ‘Freedom in general may be defined as the absence of obstacles to the realization of desires’

Top Left: Shin Bet, IDF and police have arrested two Palestinians, both residents of the village of Awarta, in connection to the Fogel family massacre in Itamar in March.
The first suspect is Hakim Mazen Awad, 18, a high school student whose father was active in the Popular Front terror organization. Awad has a prison record. The second suspect, Amjad Mahmad Awad, 19, also a student, is affiliated with the Popular Front. The two suspects confessed to their involvement in the murders, and said that they sought to carry out a terror attack in order to kill Israelis. They expressed no regret over the murders.
 
Top Center: Muslim rioters in Nigeria protesting the just concluded presidential elections have killed more than 100 Christians and burned down more than 40 churches. Since the introduction of Sharia law in northern Nigeria in 2001, tens of thousands of Christians have been killed. A Christian leader in the northern Nigerian state of Kaduna stated: “Christians in northern Nigeria are being killed and their churches and property destroyed”. The casualties could be much higher as the attacks took place over many of the 12 Muslim majority states in northern Nigeria.
 
Top Right: London, England: Andrew Ryan, 32, "lost it" after watching videos of extremists which also included them abusing soldiers returning from duty in Afghanistan. After stealing a £5 copy of the Islamic holy book from a library he stood on a bench in a street and set it alight, yelling: "You burn our poppies, I'll burn your Koran." It comes after Islamic extremist Emdadur Choudhury, 26, was fined £60 for torching poppies in London on Armistice Day. The former squaddie who burned a copy of the Koran in anger after seeing Muslims set fire to poppies has been jailed for 70 days.
 
Bottom Left: Sydney, Australia: Villawood Detention Centre last night erupted into violence with rioting detainees setting fire to the facility and forcing guards to retreat. More than 30 firefighters were battling to control blazes in up to three of the center’s buildings after detainees gathered furniture which they lit and then hurled. The rioting followed a day-long protest by up to 11 detainees, some of whom refused to come down from the roof from where they threw tiles. Refugee advocate, Jamal Daoud, said that detainees inside one of the center’s compounds had attacked guards by throwing objects at them before lighting the fire.
 
Bottom Center: The leader of the English Defense League, Tommy Robinson, says the organization’s members will risk prosecution in a bid to protect next week’s royal wedding from Islamic extremists. He said ‘50 to 100’ members would be at each train station near Westminster Abbey to prevent extremist Muslims from reaching the ceremony. Muslims against Crusades announced this week that it planned to demonstrate outside the April 29 ceremony, but its bid was blocked yesterday by the Metropolitan Police.
 
Bottom Right: Misrata, Libya: Two news photographers, including the Oscar-nominated co-director of the 2010 film "Restrepo," were killed in Libya during a battle between rebel and government forces. Tim Hetherington, 41, who made the war documentary set in Afghanistan and was also a contributing photographer to Vanity Fair, was killed when an explosive round landed in a group of press photographers accompanying a rebel patrol. Another photographer, Chris Hondros, died after sustaining a grave head wound in the same incident. Mr. Hondros was working for Getty Images when he was hit.

Sen. Harry Reid: ‘Republicans have corrupted the Founders' intent'

May 22, 2013  10:30 PM

Poor Harry Reid’s dream of bipartisanship is always out of reach, but he’s not giving up. If accusing the GOP of corrupting the very core of America is part of his charm offensive, it’s no wonder he’s having so much trouble solving that gridlock problem. The problem of gridlock is real and needs to be […]
