Why?

An Islamist rebel administration in Somalia had a 13-year-old girl stoned to death for adultery after the child's father reported that three men had raped her.
Amnesty International said the al-Shabab militia, which controls the southern port city of Kismayo, arranged for a group of 50 men to stone Aisha Ibrahim Duhulow in front of a crowd of about 1,000 spectators. A lorryload of stones was brought to the stadium for the killing.
Amnesty said that Duhulow struggled with her captors and had to be forcibly carried into the stadium.
"At one point during the stoning, Amnesty International has been told by numerous eyewitnesses that nurses were instructed to check whether Aisha Ibrahim Duhulow was still alive when buried in the ground. They removed her from the ground, declared that she was, and she was replaced in the hole where she had been buried for the stoning to continue," the human rights group said.
"Inside the stadium, militia members opened fire when some of the witnesses to the killing attempted to save her life, and shot dead a boy who was a bystander."

A young woman recently stoned to death in Somalia first pleaded for her life,
a witness has told the BBC.
"Don't kill me, don't kill me," she said, according to the man who wanted to remain anonymous. A few minutes later, more than 50 men threw stones.
Human rights group Amnesty International says the victim was a 13-year-old girl who had been raped.
Numerous eye-witnesses say she was forced into a hole, buried up to her neck then pelted with stones until she died in front of more than 1,000 people last week.

Muslim Families Force Women Into Suicide
But women’s groups and human rights advocates believe the suicides are tantamount to murder. Stories have emerged of girls as young as 12 being locked in rooms for days with rope, poison or a pistol.

Nazmeen, an 11 year old girl, was molested and set on fire by her relative, for wearing lipstick. The perpetrator, her great uncle, is a conservative Muslim.

An 11 year old girl suffered 90% burns on her body when her great uncle set her on fire in Jaipur, India.

The 55 year old man, a conservative Muslim, told authorities that he was outraged over her wearing lipstick and being "scantily dressed". After conducting inappropriate acts with her body, he poured kerosene over her and set her in flames on Friday.

However, relatives of the girl later told reporters that the man had tried to molest her, and upon meeting resistance, set her ablaze.

Pakistani Girl Thrown to Dogs

There is more to the bone-chilling account of the 17-year-old Taslim Solangi of Khairpur who was thrown to dogs ?she was 8-month pregnant and was forced to give birth to her baby prematurely.

The baby was immediately thrown into the nearby Ubhal Wah canal after her killer father-in-law passed a judgement that the child was illegitimate and did not deserve to be allowed to live.

Meanwhile, a new report said hit men have also been dispatched to Karachi to kill the absconding mother of Taslim who had fled the village.

...But one morning Zamir Solangi came to Khajan with holy Quran in his hands to assure him that if he handed over his daughter-in-law, he would not harm her. He vowed on Quran that he would not kill her and would keep her at his house. Zamir also gave a word on Quran to her frightened niece and daughter-in-law Taslim that he would not kill her. Khajan agreed and handed over the girl to Zamir Solangi.

After taking the girl to his home, the first thing he did was to take the pregnant Taslim to a midwife Baashi to arrange the delivery of the child whose actual date of delivery was still fifteen days away. The moment the child was born, he was thrown in the Ujhal Wah canal.

The incidents harassment of women at main markets, shopping malls, and public places is on rise as Eid festival is nearing and families are out for shopping in the provincial metropolis.
Mostly, such incidents go unreported as families do not like to go to police stations in order to save their reputation.
Some boys even start walking with families and touch the sensitive parts of ladies and manage to escape from the scene just for fun. The girls in order to hide such kind of vulgarity never disclose it to their family considering that it would just add to their embarrassment.
It is also learnt that youths especially students of different colleges and universities bet on such occasions and if someone succeeds in molesting a girl, he wins the bet. And if the boy fails to harass the girl, he has to pay the bet money to his friends on his failure.
Another boy said that he had no fear in teasing girls as no second person could notice his tricks while the girl would never tell it to anyone.
The police cops deployed at main markets, shopping malls and at rush points also enjoy the tricks used by the ‘teasers’. They do not take any action against such rogues. If they take any action against them, both parties reconcile with each other and refuse to carry any legal proceedings.

Some years back, when I was studying in the college, our class went on picnic. When we reached there, groups of girls separated and I with my five or six mates went in one directions. Not more than five minutes later, we were surrounded by some 10 to 12 boys, who first invited us with them and upon our stern refusal and anger, they just attacked us. They pinched and spanked us on breasts, hips and where ever they could lay their dirty hands on. We screamed in terror and tried to break away, and fortunately our screamed were heard by other girls and teachers, and as soon as those animals heard others coming, they vanished. I still have those scars on my body and on my soul.

I bet that every girl has a story or stories like this to tell. But she in our society keeps it to just herself. Whom to tell, and what would be the gain? That is how we are living this life. We cannot tell this to our fathers and brothers, and we cannot fight back. If we speak against it, we are called as sluts and shameless. What do we do? Keeping getting pinched, spanked and groped?

Pakistani Girls Rapes on Rise

According to the media reports, A 13-year-old schoolgirl was kidnapped, raped, killed and thrown in an area with dense growth of vegetation in Gulzar-e-Quaid, Rawalpindi. According to the hospital sources, she was so brutally gang-raped by more than dozen people, she couldn’t sustain her life.

In a similar horrific incident, one Suhail Khan raped a nine-year-old maid in a house in Banni, Rawalpindi. Though he was arrested but then was released on bail, according to the mother of the victim.

In yet another terrible incident, a girl of age 22 was gang-raped in Lahore and then criminals hanged her to death after molesting her for hours.

In Badin, Sindh two minor sisters were gang-raped in the outskirts of the city and then both were killed and thrown into a deserted well, and their bodies were found after a week.

Such incidents are becoming more and more rampant in our society. People commit these horrendous crimes and if by luck they are arrested, they get themselves free either through bribing police or through the shenanigans of the lawyers who exploit the loopholes in the blind law.

Absence of justice is the root cause of spread of such barbaric crimes with the daughters of this country.

In a very tragic incident in Mandi Bahuddin, a remote area of Punjab province, a girl kid of just 11 was gang-raped and then murdered. She was missing for some time and then her body was found from a dung of heap outside the village.

Her body was badly mutilated and the autopsy report showed that more than 5 people raped her repeatedly till she died. Then she was strangled by those animals in their effort to erase any mark of their crime.

The parents of the girl were frantically searching for the girl and when they found the abused body of their child, they went subconscious with grief. Mother is said to be in very critical condition and father has tried to commit suicide.

The justice must have smiled broadly when some of the brave boy of Pakistan gang raped Samia, a student of Mandi Bahauddin brutally and repeatedly, threw acid on her face and then dumped her on the road in Islamabad in broad day light. The girl was abducted from the remote area of Mandi Bahauddin, and like many other girls was abused by multiple men in many cities before she was thrown with acidified face.

The Egyptian court has decided to overturn the ban on female genital mutilation.
While human rights advocates condemn the decision, Islamic leaders express their support. The ritual was prohibited after a campaign conducted by human rights workers claiming that the practice was dangerous. Meanwhile human rights advocates express their desire to appeal the decision made by the court.

Norwegian-Somalian Kadra, who became famous in Norway for exposing imam support of female circumcision, was beaten unconscious on Thursday.

"I was terrified. While I lay on the pavement they kicked me and screamed that I had trampled on the Koran. Several shouted Allah-o-akbar (God is great) and also recited from the Koran," Kadra told VG.

In 2000 she investigated female genital cutting in the Somali community in Norway. Going undercover, she exposed the support of imams in Norway for the practice. For her efforts she received the Fritt Ord award, but has since been living in hiding.

Medics in Iraqi Kurdistan said on Saturday that they had seen a surge in violence against women in May, with both so-called "honour" killings and female suicides on the increase. "At least 14 women died in the first 10 days of May alone," a doctor told AFP in the region's second largest city of Sulaimaniyah. "Seven of them took their own lives, the other seven were murdered in still unexplained circumstances" -- apparently the victims of "honour" killings. "Over the same period, we recorded 11 attempted self-immolations. These women were so desperate they set fire to themselves," the doctor added, asking not to be identified.

According to Kurdish regional government figures, in Sulaimaniyah province alone more than 50 women attempted suicide by burning in the first four months of the year and another eight tried to hang themselves.

The United Nations Assistance Mission for Iraq has regularly highlighted "honour" killings of Kurdish women as being among the country's most severe human rights abuses. Most such crimes are reported as deaths caused by accidental fires in the home.

Aso Kamal, a 42-year-old British Kurdish Iraqi campaigner, says that between 1991 and 2007, 12,500 women were murdered for "honour" reasons or committed suicide in the country's three Kurdish provinces.

The Kurdish autonomous region runs its own affairs and has enjoyed relative peace and growing prosperity since the US-led invasion of 2003, while Arab areas of Iraq have been plunged into sectarian warfare.

But crimes against women continue despite campaigns by human rights activists and repeated condemnation by women members of the regional government and parliament.

Most of the attacks are carried out by close relatives who believe the victims' behaviour to have been immoral. Desperate to escape the cycle of domestic violence, many women turn to suicide. In 2002 the Kurdish government abolished a law which reduced the penalties for those convicted of "honour" crimes, but this has still not eradicated the violence, according to those fighting to protect Kurdish women's rights.


Saudi Arabia: Women choosing suicide over social pressures

Segregated from men, banned from driving and facing restrictions on travel, work, and even study, many Saudi women attempt suicide to escape one of the world's strictest societies. (Reuters)

Saudi Arabia, an Islamic state where clerics demand the seclusion of females, often has an unforgiving attitude to women who find themselves victim to male violence.

But the pressure of their closeted lifestyle in Saudi society forces women to live in a world of their own, often making the anxieties of adolescence or ordinary family problems harder to bear. Suicide is strongly proscribed in Islamic law, and hospitals often register suicides as "misuse of medicine" thus allowing cases to slip through the statistical net.

Saudi Arabia's religious police stopped schoolgirls from leaving a blazing building because they were not wearing correct Islamic dress (head cover), according to Saudi newspapers.
About 800 girls were inside the school in the holy city of Mecca when the tragedy occurred.
One witness said he saw three policemen "beating young girls to prevent them from leaving the school because they were not wearing abhaya and veil. A large number of girls were burnt alive while their relatives watched helplessly from outside.

Azam Kamguian is an Iranian writer and women's rights activist. She was born in 1958 and started her political activities as a socialist in 1976. She was a medical student at Pahlavi University in Shiraz until arrested and imprisoned for a year for organising student protests. The second time she was imprisoned for political activities was after the Islamic Republic of Iran took power. Azam was released from prison in 1983, after a brutal treatment in prison including constant torture and solitary confinement. She resisted all the pressure and kept her real political identity undiscovered. Lest this be discovered, placing her life in real danger, Azam fled to Kurdistan, a free region at that time, and continued the struggle for eight years until the beginning of 1990s, when she left Kurdistan for America.

Azam Kamguian has been writing since 1979. She has written several books including "Islam, Women, Challenges and Perspectives", "Feminism, Socialism and Human Nature", "On Religion", "Women's Liberation and Political Processes in the Middle East", "Islam & Women's Rights", "Iranian Women's Movement for Equality" and "Godlessness, Freedom from Religion & Human happiness"

by Azam Kamguian

The final decades of the 20th century witnessed another Holocaust - an Islamic one, in which millions have been and continue to be shot, decapitated and stoned to death; in which people have been slaughtered and displaced by Islamic states, political Islamic movements and Islamic terrorists in Iran, the Sudan, Afghanistan, Algeria, Egypt, Nigeria, Central Asia, and now in America. The robe, turban and Koran continue to victimize people. Any voice of dissent or freedom has been silenced on the spot. The oppression maintained by Islamic movements primarily takes the form of opposition to the freedom of women, by crushing women's civil liberties, by curtailing freedom of expression in the cultural and personal domains, by enforcing brutal laws and traditions, and by the mass killing of people from young children to the elderly.

In Iran, I lived through thousands of days when Islam shed blood. Since 1979, a hundred thousand men, women and children have been executed in the name of Allah. I have lived through days when I, along with thousands of men and women throughout the country, looked for the names of our lovers, husbands, wives, friends, daughters, sons, colleagues and students in newspapers which daily announced the names of the executed. Days when the soldiers of Allah attacked bookstores and publishing houses and burned books. Days of armed attacks on universities, killing students all over the country. Weeks and months of bloody attacks on workers' strikes and demonstrations. Years of assassination of opponents inside and outside Iran. Years of suppression and brutal murder of atheists, freethinkers, socialists, trade union leaders and activists, Marxists, Bahais, women who resisted the misery of hijab and the rule of sexual apartheid, and many others who were none of these, who were arrested in the streets and then executed simply because of their innocent non-Islamic appearance. And to the hundred thousand murdered in Iran must be added the millions who have died in Algeria, the Sudan, Afghanistan, Pakistan and elsewhere. A silent holocaust about which the civilised world does nothing.

Muslim Rape Wave in Sweden

Swedish girls Malin and Amanda were on their way to a party on New Year's Eve when they were assaulted, raped and beaten half to death by four Somali immigrants.
Sweden is in the midst of the worst rape wave in Scandinavian history. Judging from numbers from neighboring countries Norway and Denmark, this is probably intimately related to recent mass immigration, especially from Muslim countries.

Some Muslim immigrants admit their bias quite openly. An Islamic Mufti in Copenhagen sparked a political outcry after publicly declaring that women who refuse to wear headscarves are “asking for rape.” Apparently, he’s not the only one thinking this way. “It is not as wrong raping a Swedish girl as raping an Arab girl,” says Hamid. “The Swedish girl gets a lot of help afterwards, and she had probably fucked before, anyway. But the Arab girl will get problems with her family. For her, being raped is a source of shame. It is important that she retains her virginity until she marries.” It was no coincidence that it was a Swedish girl that was gang raped in Rissne – this becomes obvious from the discussion with Ali, Hamid, Abdallah and Richard. All four have disparaging views on Swedish girls, and think this attitude is common among young men with immigrant background. “It is far too easy to get a Swedish whore…… girl, I mean;” says Hamid, and laughs over his own choice of words. “Many immigrant boys have Swedish girlfriends when they are teenagers. But when they get married, they get a proper woman from their own culture who has never been with a boy. That’s what I am going to do. I don’t have too much respect for Swedish girls. I guess you can say they get fucked to pieces.”The number of rapes committed by Muslim immigrants in Western nations are so extremely high that it is difficult to view them only as random acts of individuals. It resembles warfare. Muhammad himself had forced sex (rape) with several of his slave girls/concubines. This is perfectly allowed, both in the sunna and in the Koran. If you postulate that many of the Muslims in Europe view themselves as a conquering army and that European women are simply war booty, it all makes perfect sense and is in full accordance with Islamic law. Western women are not so much regarded by most Muslims as individuals, but as “their women,” the women who “belong” to hostile Infidels. They are booty, to be taken, just as the land of the Infidels someday will drop, it is believed, into Muslim hand.

Haqqani on Muslim Brotherhood's real agenda
At a Hudson Institute conference in Washington last year, the Muslim scholar Zeyno Baran spoke about how the radical Muslim Brotherhood has established front groups in the US to mask and mainstream its Islamist ideology.
...Fourth, a Muslim Brother should free his country from every foreign, non-Islamic control. He should not allow any other political, spiritual or economic power to step into his country. The fifth point, is that the Brother should reform the government until the government is, in the true sense of the word, Islamic. Further, the government should be able to perform its duty and responsibility as a servant for the entire Muslim Umma.

http://dallasmorningviewsblog.dallasnews.com/archives/2008/12/haqqani-on-musl.html

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The Brotherhood -- or al-Ikhwan al-Muslimun, as it is known in Arabic -- is a sprawling and secretive society with followers in more than 70 countries. It is dedicated to creating an Islamic civilization that harks back to the caliphates of the 7th and 8th centuries, one that would segregate women from public life and scorn nonbelievers.

In some nations -- Egypt, Algeria, Syria, Sudan -- the Brotherhood has fomented Islamic revolution. In the Palestinian territories, the Brotherhood created the Islamic Resistance Movement, or Hamas, which has become known for its suicide bombings of Israelis. Yet it is also a sophisticated and diverse organization that appeals to many Muslims worldwide and sometimes advocates peaceful persuasion, not violent revolt. Some of its supporters went on to help found al Qaeda, while others launched one of the largest college student groups in the United States.

For decades, the Brotherhood enjoyed the support of the government of Saudi Arabia and its oil billions, which helped the group expand in the United States.

For years federal agents paid little heed to the Brotherhood, but after Sept. 11 they noticed that many leads went back to the Brotherhood. "We see some sort of nexus, direct or indirect, to the Brotherhood, in ongoing cases," said Dennis Lormel, until recently a top FBI counterterrorism official.

Stemming the Rise of Islamic Extremism in Bangladesh
Bangladesh has been a secular Muslim state since its independence from Pakistan and founding by Sheikh Mujibur Rahman in 1971. While its short history has been full of military coup d’états, it has always returned to its roots as a secular democratic state. There are, however, troubling new signs of a shift towards a growing Islamism that could jeopardize the sanctity of secularism in the country. While the governing construct’s legitimacy is suffering politically from the past two years of emergency military rule, Islamism may be the biggest threat to the country’s Constitution and secular underpinnings.

For Muslim Who Says Violence Destroys Islam, Violent Threats

In the interview, which has been viewed on the Internet more than a million times and has reached the e-mail of hundreds of thousands around the world, Dr. Sultan bitterly criticized the Muslim clerics, holy warriors and political leaders who she believes have distorted the teachings of Muhammad and the Koran for 14 centuries.

Dr. Sultan said the world was not witnessing a clash of religions or cultures, but a battle between modernity and barbarism, a battle that the forces of violent, reactionary Islam are destined to lose.

In response, clerics throughout the Muslim world have condemned her, and her telephone answering machine has filled with dark threats. But Islamic reformers have praised her for saying out loud, in Arabic and on the most widely seen television network in the Arab world, what few Muslims dare to say even in private.

"I believe our people are hostages to our own beliefs and teachings," she said in an interview this week in her home in a Los Angeles suburb.

The Iran Human Rights Documentation Center (IHRDC) has released a new report on the situation of the Baha’is in Iran called, “A Crime Against Humanity: The Islamic Republic’s Attacks on the Baha’is.”

Some 300,000 Baha’is live throughout Iran, making the Baha’i Faith the country’s largest minority religion. The persecution of Baha'is in Iran has been taking place since the religion began there in the mid-nineteenth century. More than 200 Baha’is were killed in Iran between 1978 and 1998, the majority by execution, and thousands more were imprisoned. Official Iranian government documents, smuggled out of the country and authenticated, reveal an initiative by Iran to eradicate the Bahá’í Faith, the largest religious minority in the country.

Iran: Persecution of women's rights campaigners rife- new report

Iran should end its persecution of women rights campaigners, said Amnesty International today, as the human rights organisation published a new report showing that the targeting of women's rights campaigners is rife in Iran.

Since a women-led 'Campaign for Equality' was launched in the country in August 2006, says Amnesty International, women's rights activists have suffered an 'acute' backlash from the Iranian authorities involving harassment, intimidation and imprisonment.

Iran: Outspoken Ayatollah Alleges Official Persecution

PRAGUE, October 6, 2006 (RFE/RL) -- A dissident Iranian cleric who advocates the separation of religion and politics, Ayatollah Seyyed Hossein Kazemeyni Boroujerdi, is accusing officials of persecuting him and his followers. Boroujerdi claims dozens of his supporters have been arrested and taken to Tehran's notorious Evin prison in recent weeks.

Ayatollah Boroujerdi says that in the past 14 years, he has been summoned on numerous occasions to the country's Special Court for Clergy and spent months in prison. He claims he still suffers from health problems stemming from torture he was subjected to in prison.

Belgium arrests 14 in anti-terrorism sweep

One of the 14 held, Malika Aroud, seen last year with her husband, Moez Garsallaou, at a federal court in Bellinzona, Switzerland.
Police say one of the suspects, who are accused of having ties to Al Qaeda, apparently was planning a suicide attack.
Although authorities issued a terrorism alert, the suspects were all released without charges -- a frequent occurrence in a nation that has weaker anti-terrorism laws than its European neighbors.

Meeting Somalia's Islamist insurgents

In recent weeks, Somali insurgents have stepped up attacks on the Ethiopian army and the Somali transitional government it is backing.

For BBC World Service's Assignment programme, Rob Walker went in search of the Islamist movement playing an increasingly deadly role in the conflict.

In the past few weeks insurgents have taken over a series of towns, killing government soldiers, stealing weapons, and then withdrawing.

Civilians say they are afraid to speak out against al-Shabab

"The Democratic system that is predominant in the world is not a suitable system for the peoples of our region... The system of free elections is not suitable to our country" --King Fahd of Saudi Arabia

(1) Women are inferior under Islamic law; their testimony in a court of law is worth half that of a man; their movement is strictly restricted, they cannot marry a non-Muslim

(2) Non - Muslims living in Muslim countries have inferior status under Islamic law, they may not testify against a Muslim. In Saudi Arabia, following a tradition of Muhammed who said " Two religions cannot exist in the country of Arabia ", non _ Muslims are forbidden to practice their religion, build churches, possess Bibles etc.

(3) Non-believers -- atheists (surely the most neglected minority in history) -- in Muslim countries do not have "the right to life ". They are to be killed. Muslim doctors of law generally divide sins into great sins and little sins. Of the seventeen great sins, unbelief is the greatest, more heinous than murder, theft, adultery etc..

(4) Slavery is recognised in the Koran. Muslims are allowed to cohabit with any of their female slaves (Sura iv.3); they are allowed to take possession of married women if they are slaves (Sura iv.28); the helpless position of the slave as regard his master illustrates the helpless position of the false gods of Arabia in the presence of their Creator (Sura xvi.77).

(1) We have seen what punishments are in store for the transgressers of the Holy Law: amputations, crucifixion, stoning to death, floggings. I suppose a Muslim could argue that these were not unusual for a Muslim country, but what of their inhumanity? Again a Muslim could contend that they are of divine origin and must not be judged by human criteria.

(1) As we shall see in our chapter on women, women under Islam do not have equal rights: they are not free to marry whom they wish, the rights of divorce are not equal.

(1) Women are not free to choose their work under Islam, certain jobs are forbidden to them, even in so - called liberal Muslim countries. Orthodox Islam forbids women from working outside the home.

(1) Quite clearly under Islam, one does not have the right to change one's religion, if one is born into a Muslim family. Applying double standards, Muslims are quite happy to accept converts to their religion, but a Muslim may not convert to another religion, this would be apostasy which is punishable by death. Here is how the great commentator Baydawi (c.1291) sees the matter:

" Whosoever turns back from his belief, openly or secretly, take him and kill him wheresoever you find him, like any other infidel. Separate yourself from him altogether. Do not accept intercession in his regard ".

(3) Those who convert to Christianity and choose to stay in the Muslim country do so at great personal danger. The convert has most of his rights denied him, identity papers are often refused him, so that he has difficulties leaving his country; his marriage is declared null and void, his children are taken away from him to be brought up by Muslims, and he forfeits his rights of inheritance. Often the family will take matters into their own hands and simply assassinate the apostate; the family are, of course, not punished.

Here is how Amnesty International describes the scene in Saudi Arabia: " Hundreds of Christians, including women and children have been arrested and detained over the past three years, most without charge or trial, solely for the peaceful expression of their religious beliefs. Scores have been tortured, some by flogging, while in detention... The possession of non_ Islamic religious objects - including Bibles, rosary beads, crosses and pictures of Jesus Christ __ is prohibited and such items may be confiscated. " AINO 62 JUly / Aug 1993

Last week, the attacks in India and the threat to New York City's subway system provided another stark reminder of the need for a united front against global terrorism.

Yet instead of figuring out how to combat Islamic extremists, the United Nations is worried about offending them.

On November 24, 2008, the U.N. passed a draft resolution against the defamation of religion sponsored by the 57-member Organization of the Islamic Conference (OIC), where all U.N. members are being asked to pass domestic legislation against blasphemy. The resolution was originally introduced in 1999 by the OIC, asserting that "Islam is frequently and wrongly associated with human rights violations and terrorism."

In reality, terrorism happens in Islam's name, or more accurately, in Islamism's name. Islamism is a 20th century product arising from the writings of sincere Muslims such as Hasan al-Banna and Syed Qutb. Frustrated by the fallen status of Muslims vis-à-vis the West, they offered a new version of Islam as a totalitarian socio-political alternative to democracy and Western license. Disparate followers from Osama bin Laden, Hezbollah and Hamas to the Jihadis that waged war on Mumbai last week are not deranged or crazy. Rather, they subscribe to a worldview that is antithetical to most Muslims and the West.

The OIC nations charge critics of Islamic extremism with "racism" and "Islamophobia" to deflect attention from the fact that such violence originates at the hand of Muslim clerics born and bread in their lands. This is because they realize they can't control Islamism, or they tacitly agree with its message.

These Muslim clerics also export this ideology to the West to radicalize Muslim immigrants abroad, and reform-minded Muslims are usually the first victims.

Kadra Noor was beat up in 2007 for speaking out against "Islamic" female genital mutilation in Norway. In Sweden, cabinet minister Nyamko Sabuni proposed that honor killings be labeled a separate crime in the Swedish penal code and girls get mandatory gynecological exams to discourage female circumcision.

As a result, she was called an "Islamophobe" and instead of supporting her, 50 Islamic Swedish organizations petitioned against her appointment to the cabinet in an effort to suppress her growing influence in Swedish politics.

Apostasy in Islam is commonly defined as the rejection of Islam in word or deed by a person who has been a Muslim.
The four major Sunni and the one major Shia Madh'hab (schools of Islamic jurisprudence) agree that a sane adult male apostate must be executed.

in Pakistan, vigilante attacks against alleged apostates are common.

Dear Islamic Community,

New Delhi - An 11-year-old girl was set on fire by a relative
in India's northern city of Jaipur for wearing lipstick and being "inappropriately dressed", media reports said on Saturday. The girl suffered burns over 90 percent of her body. Her chances of survival were bleak, police officers told the NDTV network. Police arrested her great uncle, who allegedly poured kerosene on the girl and set her ablaze on Friday. Investigators told the PTI news agency that the 55-year-old man, a conservative Muslim, had told the police that he was enraged at the girl wearing lipstick and being "scantily dressed".
But relatives told news channels that the man had tried to molest the girl and had set her on fire when she objected. Neighbours came to her rescue, one of whom was also injured while trying to put out the flames, police said. A case of attempted murder was registered against the accused. Police are continuing investigations. Sapa-dpa

Gang-Raped Girl Stoned By Mob
An Islamist rebel administration in Somalia had a 13-year-old girl stoned to death for adultery after the child's father reported that three men had raped her.
Amnesty International said the al-Shabab militia, which controls the southern port city of Kismayo, arranged for a group of 50 men to stone Aisha Ibrahim Duhulow in front of a crowd of about 1,000 spectators. A lorryload of stones was brought to the stadium for the killing.
Amnesty said that Duhulow struggled with her captors and had to be forcibly carried into the stadium.
"At one point during the stoning, Amnesty International has been told by numerous eyewitnesses that nurses were instructed to check whether Aisha Ibrahim Duhulow was still alive when buried in the ground. They removed her from the ground, declared that she was, and she was replaced in the hole where she had been buried for the stoning to continue," the human rights group said.
"Inside the stadium, militia members opened fire when some of the witnesses to the killing attempted to save her life, and shot dead a boy who was a bystander."

A young woman recently stoned to death in Somalia first pleaded for her life,
a witness has told the BBC.
"Don't kill me, don't kill me," she said, according to the man who wanted to remain anonymous. A few minutes later, more than 50 men threw stones.
Human rights group Amnesty International says the victim was a 13-year-old girl who had been raped.
Numerous eye-witnesses say she was forced into a hole, buried up to her neck then pelted with stones until she died in front of more than 1,000 people last week.

My tolerance with Islam is rapidly decreasing and if I should have more tolerance
I hope you can help me with some of these issues. I have been studying Islam now very intently for quite some time. I am having a very serious personal crisis, I'm really struggling with what I'm discovering. I really need someone intelligent to talk to about this since most people are uninformed, not interested, radical for one side or another and thus unwilling to listen, or belligerent. I would appreciate it if you could take the time to read through my letter, consider it carefully and respond in particular to the numerous questions I ask throughout. Please read it all the way though and consider it carefully in its total context, just as Muslims request the Quran is considered in its whole context. And I request that you not automatically label me as hateful and view what I say through that lens. While I may not be totally free from the affliction of hate, for the most part what I hate is hate itself, greed, cruelty and senseless suffering. There are many questions posed throughout the letter and I appreciate any answers be given on all of them as much as possible.
Keep in mind I do not adhere to any one specific religion so I am not arguing on behalf of any specific religion, and I am not atheist. but I have studied and practiced many religions and have found the majority of them to be compatible and have a similar effect on the mind and lifestyle, although some more effective and positive than others. The one exception being Islam which I could not commit to due to the dangerous and disturbing nature of it's teachings and the countless examples of Muslims I have heard about, read about, seen or met in person. Islam has stood out to me as being exceptionally violent & dangerous and current events are continually proving this to be true.

We don't have to blame all Muslims, all Indians, all Asians or all Men. But we can see trends in societies and ideologies. When we hear countless reports of a certain kind of behavior from a specific group, it tells us some things and makes us question; especially about the causes.

A religion is an ideology that shapes the very foundation of how a person thinks and behaves.
I have studied many religions un-bias for years. Islam is the only religion in modern times to demonstrate such an endless series of reports of extremely brutal violence toward women and little girls, besides endless other atrocities and human rights violations. While practitioners of other religions do commit crimes and violence, the amount of violence and the extreme degree of violence within Islamic communities far outweighs other religions. There are huge volumes of reports attesting to the quantity and extremity of violence within Islamic communities especially the Middle Eastern countries.
Islam is a religion that shapes every aspect of the practitioners life in a totalitarian way. Muslims themselves have acknowledged this.
It is a simple conclusion that there is something in the teaching and ideology of Islam that is causing people to act in these abominable ways.
I have never heard of a person of any other religion committing this extreme of an abuse on a little girl that young, and yet this kind of thing happens in Islam all the time, it's rampant. Buddhism for comparison shows an extremely low or non-existent record of terrible abuses and inhumanities. In fact history shows that the height of Buddhist influence in India pacified the people so much that they weren't strong enough to defend against the holocaust committed by Muslims that swept India; slaughtering so many people, annihilating so much art, libraries and architecture. If we examine in detail the texts of Buddhism we can see they are radically different from the texts of Islam in regards to violence and how to treat other people.
Even though the bible has quite a lot of violent teachings, it is still nothing like the degree we find in Islam, especially in regards to misogyny and a violent call to arms against non-Islamic groups. One thing that can be said for The Bible. It was taught that the Old Testament is outdated and people should give up the old barbaric ways and simply follow the teaching of Jesus as in the New Testament. It should be recognized that the Old Testament is very different from the New Testament. While Islam recognizes Jesus he is widely ignored. There are good teachings in Islamic text, but the sheer number and degree of violent teachings found in Islamic texts must be acknowledged? Are these numerous passages denied? Is it fair to totally ignore them? Do we deny they have an effect on devotees of Islam? Muslims consider the entire Quran infallible and stress that to question it is a sin which is punished severely.

Sharia law is practiced in Islam's home countries, Iran, Iraq, Afghanistan, Saudi Arabia, Pakistan, etc. There are volumes of reports of this law being carried out. I assume you are familiar with the Sharia laws? Stoning, public lashing, death to those who leave Islam, female genital mutilation (maybe not Sharia in all parts but widely practiced). Are these practices justified because they are considered religious? I know no other religion that still practices feudal laws and punishments like Islam.
It is well known that dissenters are readily killed in Islamic countries. Anyone who speaks out against the leader of the country or the religion is mercilessly killed. When Ruhollah Musavi Khomeini came into power it is well known that he killed thousands of people in order to secure his political position. Don't forget he was a high cleric of Islam looked up to as an example.
Female genital mutilation is a widespread practice in Islam. Now Islam may not be the only group that practices it but it is a distinguishable feature of Islam and it is not found in Christianity, Buddhism, Judaism, Taoism, no other religion that I can think of except radical cults and tribal religions so readily practices the mutilation of female genitals.
I'm sure you have heard the stories about the critical cartoons in Denmark and the violent mass protests and burning of the embassy. The people called for his death! Have you ever heard of this kind of extreme reaction to a critical cartoon anywhere else, ever? Or the British teacher who was ordered imprisoned for 15 days while thousands of demonstrators called for her death; for naming a teddy bear Mohammed? My understanding is that it wasn't even a matter of criticism or ridicule, her class wanted to name the teddy bear. Does this have nothing to do with certain Islamic teachings or passages in the Quran? Aren't high clerics calling for so many extremely violent Fatwa's? Actually I can think of quite a few other examples of many of the above stories. But they come from extremist political parties like the Nazi's and communist countries. In the last century I can't think of any instance where a religion was so violent and intolerant (outside of small radical cults).
I know not all Muslims are like this. I'm not saying they are. But it doesn't mean that the violent and extreme actions I have talked about aren't caused by the effect of Islam on the persons. Is there no way that the teachings found in Islam could be a significant part of the cause of the behaviors I have discussed? Again I'm assuming you have read the Quran and other Islamic texts thoroughly. Have you witnessed the teachings given live in a mosque? The Muslims I know who are not violent and extreme do not seriously follow the religion; they don't bother to read the text, they don't go to the mosque and they don't associate with other highly active serious Muslims. They have mostly disregarded the religion but somewhere in their personal identity they hold onto the idea that they are Muslim, just like many Christians I have known do. I know some Christians and Muslims that haven't read an ounce of scripture or been in a mosque/church for many years. But from the volumes of stories I have read, watched, and heard from others; those who commit the atrocities I discussed earlier are the Muslims that are very serious about Islam, study the text all the time, go to lectures all the time associate with other serious practitioners. Does this say anything to us? Wouldn't you say that study of text, listening to lectures and associating with a certain crowd can have a powerful effect on ones thoughts and behavior?

Even if quite a few people can seriously practice the religion without exhibiting the above mentioned behaviors doesn't it say something that such a large population of people within Islam do exhibit these inhuman behaviors? It's as if there were a drug, when some people consume it they experience a nice effect and are pleasant to be around when others consume it they go mad and commit crimes. Would this be considered a safe drug? Would it not be carefully regulated if not entirely banned? Would it not be fixed or reformulated?
My understanding of a religion is of a teaching, a system, an ideology that serves to tame the barbaric side of a person and results in a person gentle, tolerant, peaceful, forgiving, understanding, even in the face of abuse and aggression. Islam has proven to fail quite a very large number of people in this way. In fact it seems to me that many people have become as violent, intolerant and extreme as is humanly possible. These people must have been unimaginably bad before if Islam has actually helped them.

Now I'm not a hating person, I'm not a racist or bigot of any sort. I have loved people of so many races. One of my best friends is gay. I'm from a European country living in America and I'm married to an Asian lady. I have studied and practiced all the world's major religions and some minor ones. I have found excellent true and beneficial teaching in so many religions. I have studied politics extensively. I favor some parties over others but I have seen the good side of almost all of them and almost everything has something to teach. There is a way to take the best side of everything. With my heart and conscience I have been able to discern the harmful from the beneficial, to leave what is harmful and to maintain what is beneficial. But what I have found in Islam is a large percentage of teaching that is dangerous, conflicting, or in serious violation of human rights. Can we really just call something a religion and by that factor consider it perfectly just and beyond questioning? I can say that I did not like what I saw of the Communist USSR nor Mao Zedong, I have certainly not liked what I have learned about Hitler's Nazi Germany; in fact it evoked very strong emotional responses, anger even, sometimes I felt hate for the things I learned about the Nazi's.

If some Muslims are complaining that they receive anger and fear from some people shouldn't they understand that when people encounter the kind of intolerance, hatred, anger and terrorism of radical Islam that they should expect people will react negatively? When we walk down the street how can we tell violent terrorists from non-violent? Wasn't Mohammed Bouyeri who killed Theo Van Gogh appearing as an ordinary mainstream Muslim as he walked down the street until he pulled out a gun shot him numerous times, nearly cut off his head and stabbed him numerous times leaving knives in his chest? Do they use segregated mosques that we can tell who is a violent Muslim and who is not? Muslims all worship in the same place. If we make an investigation into a mosque to see if it is preaching violence or supporting terrorists we will be branded as unfairly targeting Muslims. Violent Muslims are protected by religious tolerance. How can we practice religious tolerance and still eliminate violent terrorists? How can we tell between the non-violent Muslims that support the actual terrorists and those non-violent Muslims that are not involved at all until they actually attack or kill us? At this point religious tolerance can be misappropriated in ways that protect terrorists and supporters of terrorists.

Aren't wisdom and understanding to recognize the things I've just talked about in the previous paragraph, and wisdom and understanding for why others are angry, a key component of religion? Just as heat and light distinguish fire. What of forgiveness for those who are angry or harmful toward Muslims, even if it is unjust; is this not an essential criteria to be called a religion?

I can see a possibility though. There could be a form of social and psychological warfare, a discrediting tactic; if some Muslims took notice of some of the special features of the western countries such as religious tolerance and a sharp condemnation of hate and prejudice it could be used like this. A hidden group uses guerilla terrorist attacks of a brutal nature to aggravate the enemy. When confronted with the Islamic community in general the anger will be so great people will vent and react in defaming ways. The more angry some people become and demonstrate that anger the more our own western ideologies can be used against us to shelter the whole group from criticism and investigation by condemning critics as guilty of hate. Is this totally impossible? In our modern age we have learned from the past, our warfare has become highly sophisticated, we use media for propaganda, we use psychological warfare. Many great lessons both harmful and beneficial came out of WWII. It is well known that an Islamic leader met and worked with Hitler and trained Bosnian Muslims. It seems ironic that some of the worst warfare and genocide since WWII in Europe has been seen Bosnia.

If the west is kuffar(non-religious unbelievers) and Islam is the one true and pure religion; as many in Islam believe. Is it not then up to those who hold religious wisdom to demonstrate it, to diffuse a critical situation, to practice the behavior of a spiritually enlightened people in order to transmit that religious wisdom to those who lack it via actual performance? To deserve to be recognized as a functional and practiced religion with the honors and protections due?

When confronted with the volumes of reports of horrific atrocities caused by devotees of Islam. So many and so terrible that nothing these days matches it to that degree and scale; I have to wonder why. What's causing this? And why is actual demonstration of many critical religious principles missing in so many fundamental serious practitioners up to the highest leaders such as Ruhollah Musavi Khomeini?

Have you seen the movie "Undercover Mosque" where a cameraman goes inside a prominent mosque in the UK and films the lectures? How the teachings are beamed directly from the highest authorities in Saudi Arabia. How people are sent to Saudi Arabia to learn directly from the source how to preach. Now I know they compiled only the bad stuff in that video. I know clerics say a lot of good stuff. But the bad stuff, it's really bad. Even if you have a full cup of fresh water a few drops of strong poison ruins the whole thing. I mean this is not what I expect from a religion especially one that is requesting tolerance and understanding and doesn't understand why people are afraid of them and hate them. They speak about killing gays, beating women, a form of racism against those who are not Muslim, glorification of terrorists. So many terrible things are there, and this is a prominent popular mosque that claims to be moderate and tolerant. The dangerous side of Islam and the potentially dangerous teachings in Islam should be represented as well when informing a public or person who knows nothing about Islam.

If it is acknowledged that there is a significant threat from a large portion of the Islamic world; how can we solve it? What is the human way to deal with the problem and what kind of results do we expect when the problem is to be considered solved? The issue of terrorism coming from a very large religion with a long history of massive warfare presents some very difficult problems which are critically linked with how we practice religious tolerance. If we are too tolerant in irrational ways, if we are not allowed to make any criticism or examination into what's going on won't this seriously cripple our ability to deal with the dangerous aspect of Islam? Should we ignore the suffering and inhumanities taking place within the Islamic home countries? Should we ignore these things because some Muslims take offense when we publicly make available information about what's happening? Are we not allowed to critique aspects of a religion we find questionable? Is the importance of religious freedom high enough to justify the killing of cartoonists and filmmakers, wife beating, stoning, public flogging, gender inequality, forced marriages, scorn for non-believers? Shouldn't we be able to critique without being afraid of being murdered or branded a hater? Should we stand by while terrible things happen in other countries? If a person is being robbed or raped in an ally should we just stand by and watch? There is a video of two Muslim ladies talking on a TV program about the severe cruelty to women in their home country and specifically telling a story about how the Islamic law protected a man's right to brutalize his wife while the father of the wife is restrained by police from doing anything to protect her. Is this religion and should we tolerate it? If some call this aspect religion should we allow it to become law in our country to fairly accommodate?

Extremist Islam is by my assessment very big. The borders between moderate and extreme Muslims are very hard to define. In just the same way as Hitler relied on media to convey his message to the majority of ordinary Germans since he required a cooperative foundation to support his Nazi party and military campaigns; Isn't it obvious that violent Islamists would require cooperation and support from the masses who are the non-violent working class? That some of the non-violent Muslims are well informed about what is happening but accept it for personal or religious reasons. That some of the non-violent range in a broad spectrum of different degrees of ignorance about what is actually happening. That some (very very few I have discovered) fight back against radical Islamists. That media is used to present certain ideas and agendas to win support and thus some are not accurately informed? Is Islam so infallible and pure that these things aren't possible if not very likely? Are you familiar with CAIR? If you haven't already please read the article, especially the last part: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Council...amic_Relations

I have seen numerous videos of Muslims, many leaders, speaking or screaming like criminal psychopaths both in the East & West. I can't recall any other religion that has been so filled with so many violent raging zealots spouting massively radical hate dogma; ever. Perhaps in the distant past Christianity was like this. And I'm not talking about a heated fire and brimstone sermon, I mean violent rage threatening to destroy and slaughter and actually carrying it out. Even if other religions did preach and practice like this that would not make it right and I would condemn those religions as well. I condemn the intolerance and cruelty of religions past. It's just that right now, Islam really stands out, I mean REALLY stands out. Is it really just the work of anti-Muslim propagandists targeting a peaceful and innocent religion?

These Muslims scare me a lot, they make me feel like I ought to stockpile defenses. I feel as if the majority of mainstream Muslims accept and support the militant sector. I never want to be a part of Islam. I don't want to be trapped in a 7th century feudal regime of violence and fear. I don't want to live in a society where I have to submit to the state religion or be ostracized to live and work in a waste dump or be tortured and killed for not being Muslim, which is exactly what happens in Middle Eastern countries. Is this unfair to want? I don't want people to have to suffer in the ways they have suffered for so long in the Middle East, especially the women. In many Islamic villages they inflict surgical mutilation of the genitals on every little girl. They claim this is Sunna the will of the prophet. Is this religion? Should it be tolerated? Should we allow it in the Western countries? Female genital mutilation is even starting to happen in the U.S. so much so that Colorado had to enact a law against it simply because their are new and increasing Muslim communities there.

Don't misunderstand. I'm not rejecting the Islamic feudal life because I wish unbridled hedonism or chaos. I've noticed some Muslims believe that the only alternative to Islam is sure to be corrupt uncontrolled hedonism. I also wish to practice a simple life, self-controlled, peaceful, free from greed, lust, hate, anger and ignorance. But I wish to do so by my own choice, not coerced by threat of violence as we see in the Middle Eastern countries.

I feel we must question, we must examine and find out what is happening in our society. If there are atrocities taking place we must discover the real cause. If there is suffering we must root it out. We may have different rooms, different houses, neighborhoods, cities, states, countries, but we forget we share one world together. The problems and suffering in Islamic countries is our problem and suffering too.

Finally I need to ask these questions. Answers appreciated. If the majority of the Islamic world is cooperating with and supporting violent jihad, how bad will it need to get before the majority of non-Muslims and ignorant Muslims acknowledge and recognize what's happening? And if this scenario is true, how will we deal with it when it has escalated into an issue of critical proportions? How far should we extend religious tolerance to organizations with a long history of violence and conquest who continue to carry it out? Is it not somehow possible that ALL of this is pointing to some fundamental problem within Islam that has been there for a long time if not the beginning. Is it not true for Muslims that the word of Allah is absolutely correct and must not be questioned in any way? Doesn't this say something? I think it might just really strike right at the heart of the problem. If Islam is already a perfect religion as is claimed by many Muslims. It has been around for a long time. Why hasn't the religious system of Islam helped that large sector of violent fundamentalists? Why is there still so much suffering in the religion of peace?

If Muslims believe their religion is perfect while the nation of Islam is afflicted with so many problems and suffering, what must the conclusion be? One possible conclusion may be that the problems are caused by those outsiders who don't follow Islam. This would explain why many Muslims blame non-Muslims for all of the problems in Islamic countries. Granted many new injustices and exploitation have been brought to Islamic countries by the U.S.A., but even before the US invasions and in fact throughout history Islamic nations have suffered extreme internal violence and problems.

Death penalty for apostasy. Shouldn't this alone disqualify Islam as a legitimate religion and reduce it to a totalitarian regime headed by the idea or belief in God? And if all of Islam doesn't practice Death for apostasy then my question applies only to those sects that do. Is it that all we have to do is incorporate God and divine inspiration into our ideology and everything we do is protected by religion?

Not all individual Muslims practice Jihad in the form of violent terrorism.
Not all sects of Islam are identical in every way.
However, wherever non-violent Muslims go in the world the violent Muslim community is found there too. The mainstream Muslim community has not been successful at eliminating the violent Muslim sector. This can be seen today in France, Holland, Belgium, Norway, Sweden, U.K., Bosnia, Sudan & Darfur, Indonesia, Russia, some African countries and many others.
In those countries where Islam is entirely dominant widespread suffering and human rights violations are the norm and greatly protected by the laws of those countries. Does this really have nothing to do with Islam?


Here is a very interesting article from the Washington Post I hope you will get a chance to read it through as well. This section talks about just the problem I was discussing. I presented some video links at the bottom, I would appreciate your feedback on those as well. The videos help to support some of the claims I have made in this letter.

http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/articles/A12823-2004Sep10.html
"The Brotherhood's history and the challenges it poses to U.S. officials illustrate the complexity of the political front in the campaign against terrorism three years after the attacks of Sept. 11, 2001. FBI agents and financial investigators probe the group for terrorist ties and legal violations, while diplomats simultaneously discuss strategies for co-opting at least its moderate wings. In both sectors of the U.S. government, the Brotherhood often remains a mystery.
The Brotherhood -- or al-Ikhwan al-Muslimun, as it is known in Arabic -- is a sprawling and secretive society with followers in more than 70 countries. It is dedicated to creating an Islamic civilization that harks back to the caliphates of the 7th and 8th centuries, one that would segregate women from public life and scorn nonbelievers."

This shows some very important psychology, some very important things are revealed here.

Insulting the Leader is a crime in the Islamic Republic of Iran,
and Khamenei, who has been called "notoriously thin-skinned," has not been hesitant in seeing this law enforced against Journalists and writers in Iran. Even family members are not immune, as his younger brother, the reformist cleric Hadi Khamenei, was "brutally beaten ... after a sermon in which he criticized the powers of the Supreme Leader," by Basij militia loyal to him. Some writers, journalists and politicians who have been charged with "insulting Ali Khamenei" include:
Ahmad Zeidabadi, Abdollah Nouri, Mojtaba Saminejad, Arash Sigarchi.

A Wolf in Sheeps Clothing

First of all I hope that I am wrong. I hope I am just over reacting. I hope we do not have to do anything about this, especially since we probably won't do anything until it's too late.
The following is the results of my ongoing research. I have no special religious or political ties nor any hidden agenda. My primary interest is peace for all; especially those countless people suffering under tyranny.
I am not driven by hate or prejudice. If there is anything I hate it's hate itself.

During the early years of Hitler’s rise to power Americans embraced and promoted the Nazi party, before they knew what it really was.
Within Germany the Nazi party grew while many knew nothing about what was really happening.
Hitler’s war to take over the world was well underway by the time the rest of Europe took serious notice.
Laughable if it weren't so sad, even after Hitler began to conquer neighboring countries the Prime Minister of England gave Hitler a portion of European territory in promise that he would not expand further.
Many rejected and ignored the warnings that there was a problem brewing in Germany.
America did not join to support the war against Nazi Germany until the war had grown to monstrous proportions.
History has a tendency of repeating itself.

There is a movement of Taqiyyah within the "peaceful" majority of Islamic followers to promote a view of Islam that is acceptable to western sensibilities in order to conceal one of the fundamental pillars of Islam namely violent and coercive world domination and the complete elimination of everything that is not Islamic.
A portion of Muslims especially western Muslims that have not experienced life in Middle Eastern Islamic countries support Islam due to ignorance of Islam’s true nature as demonstrated in the well established root societies of the Middle East primarily Iran, Iraq, Afghanistan, Pakistan and Saudi Arabia.
These countries represent the true substance of Islam while western Muslims work to spread disinformation in order to quell western resistance.
Islam seeks to dominate the world through propaganda, various infiltration techniques, and population explosion and where those don't work, ruthless, merciless violence, murder, torture and rape.
The evidence to support these claims is astonishing.
Life in the Middle East is a form of feudal religious oppression and fascism.
Violent control of the citizens is the norm. Cruel and extreme violence and oppression of women is the norm. Violent intolerance for anything that is not Islamic is the norm. Within Islam there are numerous sub-sects that violently battle for superiority.

The situation for "peaceful" Muslims is similar or identical to the situation of the German citizen during the rise of Nazi Germany. Many were won over by the promise of a better life and a cause that is fighting to protect the German way of life, interests, security, culture, wealth, etc.
Some Germans knew about the real nature of the Nazi party and choose to accept and promote it.
Some Germans who knew about the Nazi party but rejected it were either killed for speaking out or had to remain silent.
Many Germans had no idea what the real nature of the Nazi party is and supported it due to ignorance and various manufactured false beliefs.
By the time the majority of Germans realized what was happening in Nazi Germany they were powerless to do anything, they had the choice of supporting the Nazi party or death.

The term Nazi encompasses a complex set of ideologies that is well understood by the majority of people.
To call Islam Religious-Nazism is correct and effective since Islam demonstrates many of the key features that are well known as Nazi.

How Islam is Nazi.
-Anti-semetic and calling for the total annihilation of the Jews.
-Fascism is a totalitarian nationalist ideology that is primarily concerned with perceived problems associated with cultural, economic, political, and social decline or decadence, and which seeks to solve such problems by achieving a millenarian national rebirth by exalting the nation or race as well as promoting cults of unity, strength and purity.
-Third Position opposing capitalism & communism
-Nationalism for the nation of Islam
-Totalitarian, Islam seeks to regulate nearly every aspect of public and private life. Islam maintains political power by means of an official all-embracing ideology and propaganda disseminated through the state-controlled mass media, a single party that controls the state, personality cults, control over the economy, regulation and restriction of free discussion and criticism, the use of mass surveillance, and widespread use of terror tactics.
-Eugenics, Islam targets those humans identified as "life unworthy of life", including but not limited to the criminal, degenerate, dissident, feeble-minded, homosexual, idle, insane, those professing religion other than Islam, for elimination from the chain of heredity. Those deemed unworthy are shunned into extreme poverty, brutalized or killed outright. Marriages are carefully controlled through ruthless violence and coercion.
-Opposition of political liberalism. In Islam individual liberty is not important; submission to the one true god and his priests is of highest importance.
-Millenarianism, Islam sees a coming revolution where high leaders will launch a massive Jihadist call to arms.
-Violent suppression of all dissenters.
Islam could simply be called a totalitarian or fascist regime but the addition of ruthless anti-semetism warrants Islam be recognized as a Religio-Nazi movement.

Islam is different from Nazi in these ways.
-Islam is religious while Nazi is secular. Islam enjoys significant protection from criticism due to its religious nature.
-Islam is not usually racist; however the extreme prejudice between believers and non-believers functions in the same way and with the same brutal consequences as the worst Nazi racism. Believer prejudice is utilized to force conversion to Islam or die.
The Western ideal of extreme religious tolerance and the deception of Taqiyyah make it nearly impossible to solve the problem of Islamo-nazism.

Islam is especially dangerous because of the idea that the justice and righteousness of God is on their side in everything they do.
Islam is often called "The Religion of Peace", which means that Islam seeks world peace through total world dominion. When the entire world is Islam and there are no opponents to Islam, then there will be peace.
Islam uses terror attacks to aggravate other nations to retaliate at which point Islamic nations cry injustice to win sympathetic support and justify the need to defend. For Islam the need to defend is seen as a total elimination of the enemy.

Ultimately I must ask, is it possible to separate the violence, oppression, intolerance, and other harmful inhumanities from Islam?
Once Islam becomes enough of a threat to be visible to the masses for what it is, will it be too late to do something about it?
Western governments have put enormous resources into anti-communist measures and anti-communist propaganda. We fought hard to eliminate the Nazis. Why is their so little effort to publicize the real threat of Islam and so much effort to conceal the real barbaric nature of Islam?
I am sincerely seeking answers, please Email me with your wisdom.
