Adam Gadahn Urges American Muslims To Answer The Call Of Islam
Gotta love those silly "COEXIST" bumper stickers, which include Islam in among the other religions, despite the fact that Islam's mission (per the Quran and Hadith) is not "coexistence" but the conversion or death of all who do not believe as they do.
I have no problem "coexisting" with anybody who believes in anything -- even the silliest anything -- as long as their belief system doesn't command the murder of anyone who doesn't believe as they do, or of gays, or women who commit adultery.
More on what Islam's all about from thereligionofpeace.com. Educate yourself, will you?
The Myth:Islam is completely incompatible with acts of terrorism. It is against Islam to kill innocent people.
The Truth:
Islam does prohibit killing innocent people. Unfortunately, you don't qualify.
...In fact, the definition of "terrorism" in Islam is ambiguous at best. And the definition of an "innocent person" in Islam isn't something that Muslim apologists advertise when they say that such persons aren't to be harmed. The reason for this is that anyone who rejects Muhammad is not considered to be innocent under Islamic law.
...Even within the Islamic community there is a category of Muslims who are also said to bear guilt - greater even than the average non-believer. These are the hypocrites, or "Munafiqin," whom Muhammad referred to in the most derogatory terms. A hypocrite is considered to be a Muslim in name only. They are distinguished either by an unwillingness to wage holy war or by an intention to corrupt the community of believers (by befriending Christians or Jews, for example).
When Muslims frequently kill Muslims in the name of Allah, they usually do so believing that their victims are Munafiqin or kafir (unbelievers). This is actually a part of Islamic Law known as takfir, in which Muslims are declared apostates and then executed. (A true Muslim would go to paradise anyway, in which case he or she could hardly be expected to nurse a grudge amidst the orgy of sex and wine).
My personal preference is the "choose a side" bumper stickers made of the same symbols.

I thought he had assumed room temperature. Apparently, that was incorrect.
Darn.

I'm for the side with the Enlightenment values -- rights for women (not half the rights of a man, like under islam), including the right to drive, gays and lesbians being allowed to live their lives (instead of being hung for homosexuality), the right to criticize religion and exercise all our free speech rights, etc. Anyplace that's a Muslim majority country sees a decline and stoppage of these right and more. Islam might be practiced in an apparently benign way by many American Muslims, but while Christianity tells Christians to "turn the other cheek" and feed the poor, Islam tells Muslims to convert or kill the infidel (in the Quran, which is to be taken literally), and unlike crap in the bible telling people to put to death those who wear two different fabrics, etc., this backward barbarism is taken seriously by far too many Muslims.
Oh, and yoohoo, any moderate Muslims speaking up yet? Or are they either not interested or too afraid of being slaughtered by other Muslims for it?

The gun control folks will love his line there about guns in America. Its a complete and total lie that one can buy a fully automatic gun at a local gun show without all kinds of paper work and a month or two wait time due to ATF/FBI checks, and an extra $200 tax plus the fact that full auto weapons are insanely expensive.
You want a cheap full auto weapon, head on down to Mexico, the cartels get them from the Mexican army (who bought theirs from the US gov etc.) or order them in from China etc. for a fraction of the US price.

What gets me is how many atheists on the Left give Islam a pass, attacking posts like this one as "racist" or "hate speech", even though Islam's record on issues supposedly dear to them, like women's rights and gay rights, is far worse than Christianity's. Just my own opinion, but I suspect there are two factors involved:
1. Most Muslims are nonwhite, which means they're seen by leftists as oppressed and therefore sympathetic (yeah, I know Arabs are technically white, but not in the real world of racial politics);
2. "The enemy of my enemy is my friend", and the Great Satan for American atheists has always been Christianity.

For the record, I live in California, in part, because I LOVE being around people of different races and cultures (unlike in Boringland, where I grew up, where everybody, pretty much, was white and Christian).
Amy Alkon at June 4, 2011 11:41 AM
From what I know, most moslems are brown middleeasterners/arabs or brown asians or brown north africans.
Being around different races or different cultures is no longer interesting when those nonwhites(when they have the upper hand) start to impose their tendencies for immorality or unethical way of life or unpleasant totalitarian ideology onto us nonbelievers.

Consider the caliber of Western men who've converted to Islam:
Adam Gadahn
John Walker Lindh, the American Taliban
Richard Reid, the Shoe Bomber
Zachary Chesser, the would-be South Park Bomber
Thousands of gangstas in priaon
For some reason, Islam is an incredibly powerful loser magnet.
Martin at June 4, 2011 7:19 PM
Martin, that's a lame excuse for an attack. Anyone who wanted to could come up with a long list of losers who became Christians, or for that matter atheists.
The first names which come to mind when I think of Americans who converted to Islam are Mohammed Ali and Kareem Abdul-Jabbar--hardly losers.
Rex Little at June 4, 2011 10:47 PM
Those who converted voluntarily to islam may most probably tend to be nasty bullies, though they may also most probably be on the way to being big bullies before their voluntary conversion to islam.
WLIL at June 5, 2011 12:28 AM
Amy, you're exactly right. It's time to rise up and expel the Islamic troops from our Christian nation! ... oh wait - it's the Christian troops who are in their land. Never mind.
Tom Taylor at June 5, 2011 4:22 AM
Point taken, Rex.

It's written into the religion, and the Quran, unlike the Bible, is to be taken literally and unquestioningly. The lady in Iraq who blew up a bunch of other ladies and their children in a U.N. food line...these were all Muslim ladies, but some were just the "wrong" flavor of Islam.
Amy Alkon at June 5, 2011 7:48 AM
If it wasn't for Christian troops, Bosnia wouldn't exist. It would just be a gigantic mass grave and part of Greater Serbia. Likewise, Kuwait would be a mass grave and the 19th province of Iraq, while Iraq would be Saddam & Sons personal torture chamber.
Martin at June 5, 2011 9:24 AM
Cute point Tom. Do you support Islam, and the terror it spreads worldwide?
Amy, you made me look up xenophobe.

I find myself doing it more and more. Hopefully, not just a sign of old age.
The meaning of xenophobe just disappeared when I read it. He needs to get of of LA before he hurts himself.

Furthermore,extremely irrational bullies tend to be losers whether they win or not in anything.
WLIL at June 5, 2011 4:22 PM
Predominant islamic culture tend to create losers because they tend to give their own islamic community too much special privileges or scholarships to spread terror, shabbiness and incompetence.
WLIL at June 5, 2011 5:00 PM
I won't say that I completely agree, but then again I've never really thought of it quite like that before. Thanks for giving me something to occupy my mind when I'm trying to have an empty mind while trying to fall asleep tonight lol..
