To: RetiredNow who wrote (709 ) 4/1/2002 7:29:23 PM From: joseph krinsky Respond to of 2279 "Why is it that Islamic extremists are terrorizing so many non-muslims in so many countries" Because their religion demands of them that they kill all non muslims. The non fanatics are just are breath away from becoming fanatics, they too also believe this. They just aren't acting on those beliefs, yet. Give them time, if the fanatics show them they can win, they'll get on the bandwagon. Verses from the Koran: VIII/12: When thy Lord inspired the angels (saying:) I am with you. So make those who believe stand firm. I will throw fear into the hearts of those who disbelieve. Then smite the necks and smite of them each finger. Here one can clearly see that the Quran is openly saying to the muslims to give a torturous death to those who are non-believers of the Islamic faith. XCVIII/6: Lo! those who disbelieve, among the people of the Scripture and idolaters, will abide in fire of hell. They are the worst of created beings. From the above passage you can clearly see that according to Mohammed, Allah has reserved a special place for non- mulsims--HELL! IX/5: Then when the sacred months have passed, slay the idolaters wherever ye find them, and take them (captive), and besiege them, and prepare for them each ambush. But if they repent and establish worship and pay the poor- due, then leave their way free. Lo! Allah is Forgiving, Merciful. This verse tells us that muslims are free to convert non-muslims by force and brutality. If unsuccessful in doing so, they are free to kill. IX/73: Oh Prophet! Strive against the disbelievers and the hypocrites! Be harsh with them. Their ultimate abode is hell, a hapless journey's end. LXIX/30-37: (It will be said)Take him and fetter him and expose him to hell fire. And then insert him in a chain whereof the length is seventy cubits. Lo! he used not to believe in Allah the tremendous, and urged not on the feeding of the wretched. Therefore hath he no lover hear this day nor any food save filth which none but sinners eat. Here we get a description of how to punish Non Muslims. This is in practice even today in Islamic countries. In fact, the Sikh Gurus and their families were tortured by muslims as prescribed in the Quran. For example, Sikh guru Tegh Bahadur on refusing to accept Islam, was brought to the prison in a cage like he was a wild animal. Three of his disciples were murdered in front of him. One of them was Bhai Mati Das. He was sawed alive. The other was wrapped up in cotton and burnt alive. Bhai Dyala, the third one, was boiled alive. Guru Tegh Bahadur himself was brutally tortured and killed in a similar fashion. We see further support of these types of torments in the verses below. XLIV/43-50: LO! the tree of Zaqqum (The tree that grows in the heart of hell bearing fruits like devil's heads) - the food of the sinner. Like molten brass, it seetheth in their bellies as the seething of boiling water. (And it will be said): Take him and drag him to the midst of hell, then pour upon his head the torment of boiling water. Saying: TASTE! LO! thou wast forsooth the mighty, the noble! Lo! this is that whereof ye used to doubt. IX/123: O ye who believe! Fight those of the disbelievers who are near to you and let them find harshness in you and know that Allah is with those who keep their duty (unto Him). IV/144: O Ye who believe! choose not disbelievers for your friends in place of believers. Would you give Allah a clear warrant against you ? This verse clarifies the fact that a true Muslim can never be a friend of a person of another faith. People who believe otherwise are under delusion. IX/29: Fight those who do not profess the true faith (Islam) till they pay the jiziya (poll tax) with the hand of humility. This verse in Quran gave birth to the law that all non muslims living in an Islamic state have to pay the jiziya or poll tax for the privilege of being there. These people are called zimmis and are allowed to live and work in the Islamic lands under the following 20 disabilities: (one has to wonder if apartheid was derived from this) They are not to build any new places of worship. They are not to repair any old places of worship which have been destroyed by the muslims. They are not to prevent muslim travellers from staying in their places of worship. They are to entertain for 3 days any Muslim who wants to stay in their homes and for a longer period if the muslim falls ill. They are not to harbor any hostility or give aid and comfort to hostile elements. They are not to prevent any one of them from getting converted to Islam. They have to show respect to every Muslim. They have to allow Muslims to participate in their private meetings. They are not to dress like muslims. They are not to name themselves with Muslim names. They are not to ride on horses with saddle and bridle. They are not to possess arms. They are not to wear signet or seals on their fingers. They are not to sell or drink liquor openly They are to wear a distinctive dress which shows their inferior status and separates them from Muslims. They are not to propagate their custom and usages among the muslims. They are not to build their houses in the neighbourhood of muslims. They are not to bring their dead near the graveyards of the muslims. They are not to observe their religious practices publicly or mourn their dead loudly. They are not to buy muslim slaves. Here again I have stated another handful of facts which expose the true nature of Islam. Any logical person by now should have realized that Islam is meant for the lowest of the low. The followers of Islam are mindless tyrannical demons who know nothing better than killing and torturing people in the name of Allah. And they do this because a pervert named Mohammed, among other things, promised his followers 72 Houris (Beautiful Virgin Women) and virility of 100 men in 'Jannat' (Heaven). This is very puzzling--why virility of 100 men and only 72 houris? Why not 100 houris? The answer is very simple--the prophet Mohammed promises these "pious" muslims that they will also be given 28 young boys in addition to the 72 houris for their sexual pleasure. flex.com flex.com This is a Hindu site, I believe. Using a Jewish or a Christian one tends to bring out the standard "ah you're just saying that because you're a jew or you're a christian" bogus response.
