WHY ISLAM IS DIFFERENT & DANGEROUS
By Alan Caruba
ISLAM AS A DEADLY & IMPLACABLE ENEMY OF AMERICA & THE WEST: AN ENEMY THAT IS DETERMINED TO
DESTROY THE U.S.A., THE WEST & THE STATE OF ISRAEL, AS WELL AS SUBJUGATE OR EXTERMINATE CHRISTIANS, JEWS, &
ALL OTHER NON-MUSLIMS -- AN ENEMY THAT CANNOT BE ACCOMMODATED, THAT NEGOTIATES WITH THE END GOAL OF
ACHIEVING DOMINATION, & THAT CANNOT BE DETERRED EXCEPT THROUGH THE USE OF FORCE -- A HIGHLY POLITICIZED
RELIGION WHOSE ADHERENTS MUST BE EITHER CONVERTED OR DEFEATED
FULL STORY:
Imagine that every day of your life begins with a morning call to prayer from minarets around the city or village in which
you live.
Imagine that you are required to pray five times throughout the day, every day.
Imagine that the law of the land is based on Sharia, taken from the Koran.
Imagine that you live in a nation where stoning women, beheading criminals, and other draconian, ancient punishments
are deemed acceptable.
Imagine being Muslim and knowing that conversion from Islam is punishable by death.
Imagine saying or doing anything that might be interpreted as disrespect for Muhammad, the prophet of Islam, can get
you whipped or killed.
Imagine a religion that has no tolerance for any other religion, even those that existed for two or three thousand years
prior to Islam.
Imagine a religion that sanctions suicide, if it is done for the purpose of killing others.
Imagine a religion that has routinely taken over the temples and churches of other faiths and builds mosques in their
place or a religion that builds its mosques upon the most holy sites of other religions.
Imagine a culture that reduces women to chattel owned by their fathers and their husbands.
Imagine a culture that permits the killing of women for “dishonoring” the family.
Imagine a religion in which a close associate of Usama bin Ladin, Ayman al-Zawahiri, said:
“We have not reached parity with them. We have
the right to kill four million Americans — two
million of them children — and to exile as many
and wound and cripple hundreds of thousands.
Furthermore, it is our right to fight them with
chemical and biological weapons, so as to afflict
them with fatal maladies that have afflicted the
Muslims because of the (Americans’) chemical
and biological weapons.”
Imagine a religion that, on Iranian television, June 25, 2004, says: “May Allah, by virtue of the Hidden Imam, remove the
evil America and Israel from humanity.”
A recent news report says: “Al-Qa'ida is on the verge of producing radioactive weapons after sourcing nuclear material
and recruiting rogue scientists to build ‘dirty’ bombs, according to leaked diplomatic documents.”
In his book, In the Words of Our Enemies, Jed Babbin, wrote:
“Like the Nazis, the radical Islamists play on the
same sense of persecution and cultural inferiority
that many people in underdeveloped nations
possess because they are oppressed. And, like
the Nazis, the Islamists have convinced their
followers that the problems of their world are the
fault of others. The Islamists blame every ill of
their world on America, the West, the Jews, and
Israel.”
The Middle East and Northern African nations in which Islam dominates are in a state of turmoil, seeking to overthrow the
despots that have ruled for decades. No matter who is selected to replace them, Islam remains the guiding principle in the
lives of their people.
Imagine a religion that divides the world into Dar al Islam, the land of Islam, and Dar al Harb, the land of war.
They cannot be accommodated.
They negotiate only with the end goal of achieving domination.
They cannot be deterred except through the use of force.
The translation of the word “Islam” is “submission.”
We share the planet with 1.6 billion Muslims, and we must either convert them or defeat them.
