Found at The Plain Dealer, this article includes significant comments from several Muslims. Many Muslim Americans sense that presidential candidates have, at worst, conflated their faith with terrorism, and, at best, treated them as a liability to be kept at arm's length.Who conflated Islam with terrorism? Allah & his Messenger!
Allah commanded it, Moe performed it and bragged about it.
They're especially disappointed that Sen. Barack Obama, in denying claims that he is a closeted Muslim, left it at that. They say he could have at least defended Muslims, or knocked down the notion that being a Muslim is somehow a negative.Exactly why are Muslims concerned about what Barack Obama says about Islam? Why do they have high expectations for him if he is not one of them? How can anyone defend a murder cult that declares open season on Jews & Christians? [9:29 & Bukhari Volume 1, Book 8, Number 387]
"I think he knows Islam isn't a violent religion, but he certainly has some sort of hesitancy to talk about his experience with it because of a fear that this will damage his campaign," said Qasim Rashid, 25, who covered the issue on his weekly Muslim-themed online radio show.I know that:
- Islam is a war machine, not a religion.
- Islam is extremely violent, as demonstrated by a history of repeated brutal barbarian conquest and terrorism which continues to the present time.
Under Islamic law, children sired by a Muslim are Muslim and must be raised Muslim. Since Obama's father was a Muslim, he was registered as a Muslim when he entered schools in Indonesia.
@A4.6: How Much One Must Teach One's Children
Shafi'i and colleagues (Allah have mercy on them) say that fathers and mothers must teach their children what will be obligatory for them after puberty. The guardian must teach the child about purification, prayer, fasting, and so forth; and that fornication, sodomy, theft, drinking, lying, slander, and the like are unlawful; and that he acquires moral responsibility at puberty and what this entails. It has been said that this education is merely recommended, but in fact it is obligatory, as the plain content of its scriptural basis (n: mentioned below) shows. Just as it is mandatory for a guardian to wisely manage his charge's property, this is even more important. The merely recommended is what exceeds this, such as teaching him the Koran, Sacred Law, etiquette, and teaching him what he needs to earn a living.
The evidence for the obligation of teaching a young child is the word of Allah Mighty and Majestic,
"O you who believe, protect yourselves and families from a fire" (Koran 66:6). [Reliance of the Traveler]
Once a Muslim, always a Muslim, or dead.
Senator Barack Obama, under Sharia, is murtadd as an apostate and deserves to be killed. How then is it possible that faithful Muslims, who should be condemning one who "abandoned his religion", are supporting his campaign for the Presidency?@O1.2
The following are not subject to retaliation:
...
-3- a Jewish or Christian subject of the Islamic state for killing an apostate from Islam (O: because a subject of the state is under its protection, while killing an apostate from Islam is without consequences);
@O8.4
There is no indemnity for killing an apostate (O: or any expiation, since it is killing someone who deserves to die).
*2*Chapter O8.0: Apostasy from Islam (Ridda)
@(O: Leaving Islam is the ugliest form of unbelief (kufr) and the worst. It may come about through sarcasm, as when someone is told, ``Trim your nails, it is sunna,'' and he replies, ``I would not do it even if it were,'' as opposed to when some circumstance exists which exonerates him of having committed apostasy, such as when his tongue runs away with him, or when he is quoting someone, or says it out of fear.)
@O8.1
When a person who has reached puberty and is sane voluntarily apostatizes from Islam, he deserves to be killed.
@O8.2
In such a case, it is obligatory for the caliph (A: or his representive) to ask him to repent and return to Islam. If he does, it is accepted from him, but if he refuses, he is immediately killed.
Christianity Today has these revelations from Senator Obama:
I am a Christian, and I am a devout Christian. I believe in the redemptive death and resurrection of Jesus Christ. I believe that that faith gives me a path to be cleansed of sin and have eternal life.I have never practiced Islam. I am respectful of the religion, but it's not my own. One of the things that's very important in this day and age is that we don't use religion as a political tool and certainly that we don't lie about religion as a way to score political points.
- Senator, how can you convince us that you are not using religion as an instrument of politics and lying about it?
- How can you call Islam a religion? Its purpose is mercenary, not spiritual. At the core of Islam we find war. Surat Al-Anfal is about the spoils of war, its first ayeh deals with the division of the spoils. Surat Al-Taubah cusses out Muslims who were reluctant to join the ghazwat againt Tabuk. Surat Al-Fath is about victory, it promises rich spoils which Muslims will capture. Allah commands Muslims to invade and conquer the entire world, terrorizing their victims and making a great slaughter. How in Hell can you respect such an evil institution which has left a trail of death and destruction over half the globe?
Will you vote for a man who says "I admire the Islam" or one who says he respects Islam or will you join me in taking a principled stand, disrespectfully demanding a choice, not an echo? |
