Disguised as religion, Islam has penetrated democracies to replace civility and liberty with the barbarism of 7th-century Islamic theocracy and Sharia law. Islam’s multi-pronged attack aims to destroy all that liberty offers.
With a long tradition of protecting religious freedom, America still clings to the “hands off” practice of leaving alone any doctrine or practice billed as religion. A thorny problem is deciding what constitutes a religion and who will make that call. To be a loyal and faithful Muslim, a Muslim must adhere to and perform many obligatory acts specified in the Quran by Allah and the Hadith/Sunna throughout his life.
The mosque serves as a house where Muslim devotees gather together for salat (prayer) and worship Allah and his messenger, the prophet Muhammad. Aside from worshiping Allah, a mosque is used for various reasons. These meeting places are perfect warehouses of indoctrination and future terrorists, who are made to read and understand the principles of Jihad, martyrdom, and Dar ul Harb (“land of war”—any place not Islamized.) Mosques cost money, and the money for these warehouses of intolerance comes straight from Saudi Arabia, the number one terrorist state in the world.
These mosques are being infused with an activist strain of Islam, Wahhabism. If you have to ask where the Saudis are getting their money, you are not paying attention…it’s coming from you. Not to mention, the current U.S. administration, in its continuous war against the American people, is doing everything it can to accommodate the “Cordoba Initiative” project at taxpayers’ expense “that is spearheading plans to build a $100 million Islamic center at Ground Zero, the site where nearly 3,000 Americans were killed by jihadists on 9/11.” The recent CNN Poll shows that 68% of American voters oppose the Ground Zero Mosque.
Those useful idiots-non-Muslims who support the building of the mosque near the 9/11 site or anywhere else by invoking the ideal of religious freedom are empowering a creed devoted to stamping out freedom of religion or any other form of space.
In this relentless campaign, the Islamists have a vast cadre of “experts,” “talking heads,” and for-purchase politicians who keep endlessly broadcasting the false mantra that Islam is a religion of peace. This latter bunch is criminally complicit in making the populace complacent and furthering the work of the Islamists.
When mosques are built, imams, mullahs, or mosque elders tend to be sent to the U.S. with one clear mission: Make Islamic religion, laws, and life supreme within the United States or any other host country, using any tactics necessary. Next, from within the safety of their local mosques, they begin to use their revolting practices and wild sermonizing to force the genteel Americans to relocate to safer, less threatening neighborhoods and cities, as in England and other European countries.
They will elect Muslims to all positions of local influence, creating and enforcing policy according to the Sharia law. Once they control a town, they will establish informal Sharia, and there’s nothing the government can (or will want to) do about it.
Sharia is the brutal means by which Islam controls its populations by force, intimidation, and punishments for offenses to Allah. Already in many European countries, national governments have, out of fear, given Islamic fascists the right to establish their shadow governments within the borders of countries like Sweden and England, where they can control their populations without accountability. Proposals for Sharia are being taken seriously by many Western countries.
“According to early Muslim historians, towns that surrendered without resistance and made treaties with the Muslims permitted the Muslims to take their churches and synagogues. One of the earliest examples of these kinds of conversions was in Damascus, Syria, where in 705 AD, Umayyad caliph Al-Walid I bought the church of St. John from the Christians and had it rebuilt as a mosque in exchange for building several new churches for the Christians in Damascus. Overall, Abd al-Malik (Al-Waleed’s father) is said to have transformed ten churches in Damascus into mosques.”
“Turning churches into mosques was especially intensive in the villages where most inhabitants converted to Islam. The Abbasid caliph al-Ma’mun turned many churches into mosques. Ottoman Turks converted nearly all churches, monasteries, and chapels in Constantinople, including the famous Hagia Sophia, into mosques immediately after capturing the city in 1453. In some instances, mosques have been established on the places of Jewish or Christian sanctuaries associated with Biblical personalities whom Islam also recognized.”
Again, Muslims first make their mark by establishing mosques in as many towns and cities as possible. These mosques range from the ostentatious, such as the one in Washington D.C., to the academically cloaked university Islamic centers, innocuous storefront types, and even prison chapels. One and all have the same aims: Hold the faithful in line, recruit as many new adherents as possible, and indoctrinate one in the imperative of Islamic conquest.
In these Islamic places, the impressionable young and fanatical adults are drilled with the duty to carry out Jihad against the Dar ul Harb (“land of war”—any place not entirely under the rule of Islam.)
Operating this vast network of Islamism requires significant financing. Saudi Arabia has spent over $80 billion on these operations since 1970. The other Persian Gulf States, with their treasuries, flush with oil money, have done and continue to do their share of financing.
Not to be outdone by the virulent Wahhabism of the Saudis and their co-sectist Sunnis, the Islamic Republic of Iran has been bankrolling its array of clientele in the Middle East, much of Africa, and as far away as Southeast Asia and Latin America in a push for Shiism. The non-Muslim world is caught in a pincer of the two rabid Islamic forces.
Some still delude themselves by preferring to believe that Islam has not made as many inroads into the United States as it has in other parts of the world, such as Europe. Facts prove otherwise.
According to a National Portrait survey released in April 2001, there were at least 1,209 mosques in the US. According to the latest report, this number has sky-rocketed to as many as 6,000 mosques in 2008.
“The official Saudi website reported a donation of $6 million, also in 1995, for a mosque in Cincinnati, Ohio. The website further stated, in 2000, “In the United States, the Kingdom has contributed to the establishment of the Islamic Center in Washington DC; the Omer Bin Al-Khattab Mosque in western Los Angeles, the Los Angeles Islamic Center, and the Fresno Mosque in California; the Islamic Center in Denver, Colorado; the Islamic center in Harrison, PA, New York City; and the Islamic Center in Northern Virginia.”
This entire guesstimate aside, a recent report from the FBI estimates that of the 2000 mosques in the United States, 10% preach Jihad. Welcome to the religion of peace as it is invading the land of the free to make it the land of submission. This is not some Islam-hating crackpot group reporting. It is the FBI, an agency known for bending backward to be politically correct and in tune with the rest of the administration.
In addition to the mosques already built in the land of the free, Islam is advanced by a large cadre of auxiliaries. Dr. Paul Williams (former FBI consultant, best-selling author, and investigative journalist) reports that many Muslim businesses around the country conduct regular business during the day. In the evening, they turn their stores into Islamic gathering places. There are several thousands of these makeshift “Takeyehs.”
If only the masses of Muslims arise and carry out the orders of Allah, then we would have the promised paradise of Islam on earth as exemplified by such rules as that of the Taliban, Saudi Arabia, Sudan, Somalia, and of course, the Shiite nirvana of the Islamic Republic of Iran.
In these model Islamic societies, freedom of expression, worship, and assembly are taken away. Women are treated as chattel. Young girls are subjected to barbaric genital mutilation, making them sex slaves and birth channels without the ability to enjoy intercourse. Minors are executed, adulterers are stoned to death, thieves have amputated limbs and much more. Isn’t that everyone’s idea of paradise?
What a travesty and how ironic indeed to have as many mosques as we already have in the U.S., yet, we intend to help the Islamists, building more training camps for future suicide bombers and endangering the safety of the American people and generations to come. With the average citizen, and not the devious and for-purchase politicians, rests the solemn obligation to act and act now to compel our government to stem the tide of Islamism before it is too late.
It is tragic that while our courageous service members are losing life and limb in far and away places fighting Islamofascism, useful idiots and servile politicians of the highest rank at home bend over backward to accommodate, even promote, Islamism.
There is a glimmer of hope that the American people are finally waking up to the deceit and the menace of the creed called Islam. Their opposition to the building of the mosque shows that the creeping Islamization of America is indeed something to stand against and prevent before it is too late.
