TERRORISM

My last article attempted to show how the Islamic fanatics use propaganda as a weapon against non-Muslims, worldwide..This article will show ways they use an even more powerful weapon of war. Terror,an inherently scary weapon. Terror uses violence, threats, intimidation, and more, to achieve their goal. I doubt if there is an individual who cannot be intimidated by some form of terrorism. Yet, in order to keep our freedom we must stand together and not give in. Terror can come from different directions and in different forms. Honor killing of female family members, such as wife, or children, particularly daughters, threatening violence to restrict freedom of speech or issuing a fatwa, which is a death sentence for offending Muhammad, the Quran, Islam or belief in their prophets. These are all forms of terror. They demand non-Muslims show respect for their religion and culture yet show no respect for the religion or culture of others. Let us not forget the brutal side when they send suicide bombers to indiscriminately kill non-Muslims and Muslims alike. Then we have one action that turns the stomach of every humane individual. There is the cutting off of the heads of their enemies, non fighting civilians or military, using a knife such as Nick Berg and Daniel Pearl, and compounding the brutality by displaying the beheading on the Internet. Ruth Edward, of the “Irish Independent,” reported about four honor killings in Canada. The victims’ crimes, in the eyes of their parents, husband and brother Hamed, 21, all convicted on four counts of murder, was that the three sisters had Western habits that offended the family. Their stepmother’s crime was that she was sympathetic to the daughters. Such actions are also meant to deter others from becoming westernized. According to Wikipedia, in some countries, specifically where Islam is the state religion, conversion to Islam is encouraged. Conversion away from Islam (Apostasy) legally can be punished by death. Such countries are “ Iran, Egypt, Pakistan, United Arab Emirates, Afghanistan, Saudi Arabia, Sudan, Qatar, Yemen, Malaysia and Nigeria. According to the Quran verse 4:89 If someone turns away from Allah seize them and slay them wherever ye find them" Enforcement of this verse is not limited to the Middle East. Two Iranian converts from Islam to Christianity, were stabbed in Norway. In an interview given on September 30, 2002, for CBS -60 minute program, American Christian minister, Jerry Falwell, said: "I think Muhammad was a terrorist. I read enough to decide that he was a violent man, a man of war." The following Friday Mohsen Mojtahed Shabestari, the spokesman of Iran’s Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, issued a fatwa calling for Flwell's death, saying Falwell was a "mercenary and must be killed." He added, "The death of that man is a religious duty.” I can readily understand how such a decree would frighten people and cause them to refrain from making such a comment. It is not uncommon for anti-Israel and anti-Semitic students to attempt to disrupt presentations not to their liking. This occurs at many universities as happened this February at the University of New Mexico. They tried to prevent an ex-Muslim, Nonie Darwish, from sharing her first hand knowledge of Islam. There have been a number hotels that received threatening calls to cancel scheduled anti-Jihad presentations. One such instance was in October 2011, where only a few hours before Pamela Geller was to make her presentation, “Islamization of America,” to hundreds of people, the event was canceled by the Hyatt Place Houston/Sugar Land. It was reported the hotel received numerous threatening calls to life and property .causing the hotel to surrender to Islamic terrorists demands. For many Muslims wild, destructive rioting is an acceptable response to being offended even though it causes untold damage and deaths. Hamid Karzai, President of Afghanistan, said “Our people’s emotion in this regard is legitimate and respectable.” It is interesting, however that Karzai is calling, on behalf of his people, for the punishment of Americans who accidently destroyed a few desecrated Qurans. Yet, he has not mentioned the Muslims who violated the Quran by writing in them. The US government has repeatedly apologized to no avail. I do not approve of our apologizing. When will Americans stop bending to the demands and threats of the Islamic world. It is apparent that the more we cave in the more they threaten and demand. Freedom loving people stand up proud and strong. As of February 29, 2012 Islamic Terrorists have carried out more than 18,520 deadly terror attacks since 9/11. These are the people who are fighting to take over the world.
