Last night I watched a long program on a Netflix download called "Islam-What the West Needs to Know." This program was in no way entertaining, but I watched the entire thing out of responsibility to my own education.
It consisted of six segments, many or all of which were basically forthright Muslims or former Muslims talking from a leather backed chair. One said he had converted to Christianity, and I made the assumption based on their appearance and accents that the others were Muslim.
The program kicked off with delusional declarations by Tony Blair, George Bush, and Bill Clinton that Islam was a religion of peace.
The rest of the program was sincere testimony (I call it testimony because it might have been taken from interviews of these people but their statements were not apparently answers to an interviewer's questions, but originated from their own initiative.)
These men, and a woman, were experts in their field and most of them had written books about Islam.
In a nutshell, they explained that Muslim beliefs were founded on the Koran and several other ancient books that were second only to the Koran.
They said the Koran consists of two main bodies, both written by Mohammad as the direct word of Allah. One, composed early in his career was written in Mecca and consisted of peaceful declarations that are the basis for the West's delusion that Islam is a religion of peace.
The other book, composed by Mohammad in Medina, consisted of declarations that Islamists are using to justify their evil intent and behavior. These are warlike declarations and all of them say in essence that believers shall kill non-believers unless they convert.
Mohammad himself dug a trench in Medina and beheaded into it 800 people who did not toe the line. This information resides in the Koran.
The clincher is that the second volume has a number of declarations or assertions that nullify earlier statements, much like the 14th Amendment to our Constitution nullifies slavery and counting blacks as 3/5ths of a person for census purposes.
Unlike our Constitution which corrects evil injustice through its Amendments, the second volume of the Koran nullifies the portions of the first that form the basis of the Western delusion that Islam is a religion of peace. The nullification process is explicitly declared by Mohammad as a "replacement of something with something 'better.'"
Unlike the Bible, which has many stories that basically document the growth of Jewish and Christian values throughout history, the Koran
Another significant point that was made has been discussed on this forum: Islam is not just a Religion but is a system of beliefs and 'law' that has the explicit intent of imposing itself on the entire world. Not through evangelism as is the case with Christianity, but by force and by overrunning the West by immigration and reproduction.
For me, the case is closed. Islam is NOT a religion of peace and is incompatible with our Bill of Rights unless and until it reforms itself to 21st Century values. We cannot impose this reform on Islam; it has to do it itself.
I do believe, however, that our country has the right to protect itself from being overrun by Islam.
If these people had not been Muslims I would have to moderate my conclusion with a bit of skepticism. |
