In his latest essay, Michael Copeland reminds us that Islam conceals its supremacist agenda under a cloak of victimhood.
Islam’s “Sensitivity” Scam
by Michael Copeland
Burning a book is harmless. No-one is injured. A point is made. It is an example of freedom of expression, as endorsed, and protected, by the constitutions of Western democratic states. Now, the burning of one particular book is being used as a pretext for threats of violence. The excuse is “sensitivity”. The burning is claimed to offend the “sensitivities” of the book’s adherents.
The book is the Koran, that text “dripping with murderous levels of hatred”, as one commenter put it. “Kill them,” it commands concerning non-Muslims, kafirs, “Kill them wherever you find them” (9:5). “Between us and you enmity and hatred forever” (60:4). “Let them find harshness in you” (9:123); “when you have inflicted slaughter upon them, then secure their bonds” (47:4). Kafirs are filthy, “the vilest of beasts” (8:55). “Do not take them as allies” (4:89). Muslims are “the best of peoples raised up for mankind” (3:110). They are “merciful to each other” and “ruthless to the kafir” (48:29). It is no surprise that this book is not liked by kafirs, who are at the receiving end of all these murderous commands. The Koran is billed as “true from eternity to eternity,” explains Sam Solomon, ex-Muslim convert to Christianity, former professor of Islamic law. “None may change his words,” says Koran 18:27.
These commands in Islam’s book are not quaint Old-Testament-type exhortations from their historical time, like “Slaughter the Amalekites and Hittites”. These are current instructions of Islamic law.
“Muslims must kill kafirs wherever they are unless they convert,”
said Ali Gomaa, Grand Mufti of Egypt.
“Islam says: kill all of the kafirs. Jihad stands for killing all kafirs,”
proclaimed Ayatollah Khomeini.
“Enmity and hate shall forever reign between us,”
wrote Osama bin Laden.
“Jews and Christians are filthy. Their lives and property can be taken by the Muslims in jihad,”
preached Yasir Qadhi in Tennessee.
There is really no mistaking the recurrent message of the Koran — murderous intolerance and apartheid. What many people do not know is that all of the book forms part of Islamic law. Denying any verse instantly makes a Muslim an apostate, one who has left Islam. The punishment is death. The killing can be performed vigilante-style by anyone, and carries no penalty, “since it is killing someone who deserves to die” (Manual of Islamic Law, Reliance of the Traveller, o8.4). Islam is held in place by fear. “If they had gotten rid of the punishment for apostasy Islam would not exist today”, said the famous scholar and broadcaster Yusuf al Qaradawi.
For all the many kafirs in the world the Koran is the Book of Kill Them, the Book of Enmity and Hatred. Islam is opposed to Christianity, Judaism, Buddhism, Hinduism, in fact all other religions, as well as atheism: in Saudi Arabia atheists are beheaded. Islam is much more than prayers: it is a deen, to use the Arabic word, a system of governance, with its own body of laws. “Islam is not like Christianity,” explained Mullah Krekar, “Our Islam is political.” The Islamic deen is opposed to democracy, monarchy, and communism, in fact any kind of governance other than Islamic. It rejects “man-made laws”. “Islam is the perfect system for all mankind,” says the placard: “If anyone desire a deen other than Islam never will it be accepted of him” (3:85).

Islam means submission. Submission is, of course, one end of a relationship, the other end being control. Islam imposes control, and its control is tyrannical. In Tariq Ramadan’s favoured term, Islam is “all-encompassing”, that is, totalitarian. There is an order of superiority: Muslims submit to Islam, and kafirs must submit to Muslims. Islam has to be spread. This is to be “by persuasion or by force,” wrote the revered medieval scholar Ibn Khaldun. The ultimate aim is a global Caliphate, with the whole world under Islamic rule. No-one is allowed to criticise Islam or Mohammed. Islam has no freedom of expression.

Incidents of burning the Koran are made the subject of a crafty ploy, intimidation while claiming victim status. Muslims claim to be victims of “hurt feelings” when their Book of Kill Them is burnt. Kafirs are supposed to apologise and conform to Islamic rules. Failure to do so brings violent hostility in the form of riots, car-burnings, attacks on police and firemen, setting fire to shops and houses — all this until the kafirs give way to Islamic demands. The fake victimhood ploy is used to draw attention away from the real message — “Do as we say or else.” It is designed to make the kafirs feel guilty, and induce them to cede ground.
When Western kafir politicians give way to Islamic demands, as has happened again and again, they are eroding Western democratic rights by self-infliction. Without realising it, they are fulfilling the agenda of the Muslim Brotherhood’s Secret Explanatory Memorandum. The goal of the Brotherhood, it explains, is “destroying Western civilisation from within… by their hands”.
The posture of injured “sensibilities” is bogus. The real message is the threat of violence. Islam has extremely cruel features — beheadings by sword or more slowly by knife, daughter-killing, stoning, amputations, slavery, wife-beating, throat-slitting of animals without stunning, lashes for drinking alcohol, and so on and so on. For exponents of these cruel insensitive actions to claim that they have “offended sensibilities” is extremely unconvincing.

The violent rampages are decreed in the mosques. The ordinary Muslim has to be in submission and do as instructed. The revered twentieth century Islamic scholar Maududi wrote in his 1960 book, The Islamic Law & Constitution, “no one can regard any field of his affairs as personal and private.” The totalitarianism of God’s sovereignty, Maududi wrote, would “[bear] a resemblance to the Fascist and Communist states.”
When obedient Muslims, following their instructions, go on their criminal rampage, the tainted media persist in referring to the actions as “protests” or “demonstrations”. They are, in fact, low-grade war. Islam divides the world into two Realms. Where Islam rules is Dar al Islam, the Realm of Islam, and everywhere else is Dar al Harb, the Realm of War. “Britain has always been Dar al Harb,” insisted Anjem Choudary to a disbelieving BBC.
Sweden is currently facing much Islamic ill will for the Koran-burnings that have taken place there — protected under the constitution. Voices are being raised to give way to Islamic demands. Richard Jomshof, Chairman of the Swedish parliament’s Justice Committee draws the line:
“In this kind of situation, we must stiffen our backs and stand up for our society.”
Freedom of expression is not just a line in the sand for democracy: it is a defining requirement. Without it democracy cannot function. It is what has been defended in two World Wars. Democracy is under attack from Islam using subterfuges such as “offended sensibilities” and their attendant mayhem. As Eric Zemmour in France insists, “It is a civil war!” Democracy has to be defended if it is to survive.
