Islamist Antisemitism [Effort post] : r/Destiny

  • Hidith are more explicitly violent than Mein Kampf
    • Hitler does say they’ll be a permanent solution for Jews grip
    • But Islam is much more explicit

    • Since the September 11, 2001, Islamist terrorist attacks on the United States, Islamic terrorists have perpetrated more than 35,000 attacks across the globe.
    • No other religion has come even remotely close to Islam in inspiring, justifying, or supporting terrorism.
    • obfuscation starts with the use of fantastical euphemisms and misdirection in referring to the terror attacks.
    • The deflect strategy which she employed is a very common progressive defense of Islam. By pointing to ugly realities elsewhere, progressives hope to absolve Islam from criticism. The All Religions Have Extremists fallacy is immeasurably deceptive. It is true that a minuscule number of Christian individuals have used their faith as a justification for attacking abortion providers in the United States over the past twenty-five years. 31People with functioning brains, though, recognize that the scale of a phenomenon matters. Even though Islam does not hold a monopoly on ideologically-based violence, it is certainly much more conducive to violence than, say, the beliefs of extremist Jains (who would assiduously use a broom to ensure that they do not walk on ants)
    • within a very restricted time and place, nearly a millennium ago. As for the Bible, you can count on one hand the number of individuals who have used violent passages from Deuteronomy to justify acts of terrorism in the twenty-first century. On the other hand, innumerable Jihadis around the world use Islamic doctrines to justify their violent actions. Scale matters.
    • Another classic ploy used by apologists is the No True Scotsman fallacy. This argues that entire Islamic countries, Islamic governments, and leading Islamic scholars are “fake” representations of the true faith. If you point to sharia law in Saudi Arabia, the retort is that this does not represent True Islam. Similarly, Iran’s mullahs apparently do not represent True Islam. Osama bin Laden was a “fake” Muslim. Other “fake” Muslims include Amin al-Husseini (the Grand Mufti of Jerusalem who was on friendly terms with Adolf Hitler), Sheikh Hassan al-Banna (founder of the Muslim Brotherhood), Grand Ayatollah Khomeini (the leader of the 1979 Iranian revolution), Sheikh Yusuf al-Qaradawi (arguably the leading Sunni theologian today), and Caliph Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi (the late leader of ISIS).
    • Infinite Spiral of Delegitimization strategy meant to delegitimize your right to critique Islam. For most Westerners it takes only one question: Do you speak Arabic? But other questions might include: Did you grow up in the Middle East? Are you a Muslim? Do you understand Qur’anic philology? Are you a hafiz (someone who has memorized the Qur’an in its entirety)? Did you attend Al-Azhar University (the supposed leading institution of Sunni Islam)? Are you an imam? Or, if all else fails: Are you one of the faithful companions of Muhammad? No? Well, shut up then.
    • Andalusian era of alleged peaceful coexistence is a historical myth. 32People of the Book (Jews and Christians) were at times tolerated as second if not third-class citizens, but they needed to know their place in the grand fabric of Islamic society. They held the status of a dhimmi, which required that they adhere to specific laws including the payment of the jizya (protection tax). In Muslim societies, non-Muslims are tolerated until they are not—at which point you better run fast. You never know when this is going to happen, but you know that the looming metaphorical heart attack is just around the corner.
    • In a quest to appear nuanced, many academics will posit that a given phenomenon (like global jihad) is due to a broad range of hyphenated and concatenated factors that represent a complex multifactorial problem. I call this the concatenation strategy. I have often satirized this form of intellectual duplicity whenever another terror attack takes place with the perpetrators yelling Allahu Akbar. I remind people (satirically) that the true motives of the terrorists may never be known but they are likely due to a confluence of paleo-botanic, sociocultural, biopolitical, neurophysiological, psychoeconomic, hetero-historical, geo-organic, and ethno-ketogenic factors. The more nonsensical terms that you can strew together, the greater the illusion of explanatory profundity.
    • When faced with the unsavory nature of many Islamic doctrines, progressives argue that these cannot be taken seriously because the interpretation of texts (hermeneutics) is a subjective exercise, and very clear Islamist edicts of genocidal hate have, we are told, been mistranslated, misinterpreted, and misunderstood (I call this the Holy 3M of Apologia33). Using the political philosophy of multiculturalism, OPS sufferers refrain from criticizing truly abhorrent cultural and religious practices such as female genital mutilation, child brides, and honor killings under the guise of moral and cultural relativism. It is apparently wrong to apply universal moral principles when judging the precepts of a given society. Thus, Western critics are silent if not supportive of cultural and religious practices that otherwise should be universally condemned, as it would be “racist and bigoted” to question the traditions of others.
    • In his book That’s Offensive! Stefan Collini addresses the misguided progressive desire to shield some groups from equal scrutiny.

      Similar arguments apply to attempts to exempt the views or tastes of any group from reasoned appraisal and measured judgment. However well intentioned, all such attempts are, in the end, condescending. They assume that, in relation to a given topic, those who are in a disadvantaged “minority” (we are all in minorities in relation to certain topics) need—in addition to efforts to remedy their disadvantage—the further protection of not having their most cherished convictions critically scrutinized. This in effect posits a two-tier society intellectually with the grown-ups deciding not just what may or may not be said in front of the children but who are to count as children in the first place. This eventually engenders a situation in which it is considered acceptable to criticize, mock or give offence to those deemed to be among the privileged but not to those deemed to be among the less privileged—a moral asymmetry which is ultimately corrosive of genuine respect and equality.

    • sharia law is even more fundamentally opposed to Western legal standards because Islam rejects the Western idea of impartial justice applied fairly regardless of an individual’s identity. Under sharia, punishments are applied as a function of the identity of the victim and perpetrator. A Jewish man who kills a Muslim man is judged very differently than a Muslim man who kills a Jewish man. 36Sharia law specifically states that no retaliation can take place when a Muslim kills a non-Muslim and that indemnities depend on the identities of the parties in question.
    • The framework for understanding the epidemiology of infectious diseases is relevant to examining the spread of ideas, beliefs, urban legends, and other packets of transmissible information such as religions.
    • to convert to Islam simply requires that one proclaim openly one sentence, the shahada (the testimony): “There is no true god but Allah [God], and Muhammad is the Messenger (Prophet) of Allah.”
    • While the Old Testament does mention the death penalty for apostasy, it has seldom been applied throughout Jewish history, whereas to this day apostasy from Islam does lead to the death penalty in several Islamic countries.
    • perhaps the most important difference is that Judaism does not promote or encourage proselytizing, whereas it is a central religious obligation in Islam. According to Islam, the world is divided into dar al-harb (the house of war) and dar al-Islam (the house of Islam). Peace will arrive when the entire world is united under the flag of Allah. Hence, it is imperative to Islamize the nations within dar al-harb.
    • fifty-seven member states of the Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC)
    • In many OIC countries, Islam is not only the majority religion, it is practically the only religion. Here is a list of Islamic countries where Muslims currently comprise between 95 and 100 percent of the total population: Afghanistan, Algeria, the Comoros, Iran, Iraq, Jordan, Kosovo, Libya, the Maldives, Mauritania, Morocco, Niger, Pakistan, the Palestinian Territories, Saudi Arabia, Senegal, Somalia, Sudan, Tajikistan, Tunisia, Turkey, Uzbekistan, Western Sahara, and Yemen. The most populous Arab Muslim nation, Egypt, has a small and continually dwindling population of Coptic Christians.
    • Among the intelligentsia of the West, it is common to self-flagellate by pointing to Western colonialism and American global hegemony. The West, we are told, was built by war and conquest whereas Islam spread via love and peace. The reality is that Islamic history is replete with endless conquests. In the now infamous words of the Harvard political scientist Samuel P. Huntington, “Conflict along the fault line between Western and Islamic civilizations has been going on for 1,300 years.” And even more succinctly, “Islam has bloody borders.” 45 Since its founding in the seventh century, Islam has subjugated, converted, or killed hundreds of millions of people.
    • Bill Warner, a former professor of physics and founder of the Center for the Study of Political Islam has conducted content analyses on the three canonical sources of Islam: the Qur’an (which represents the inerrant, universal, and eternal word of Allah), the hadith (the amalgamation of the traditions, deeds, and sayings of Muhammad, the prophet of Islam), and the Sira (the biography of Muhammad). 48Warner has analyzed the percentages of the three texts that are devoted to the Kafir (pejorative term for nonMuslims), to Jew-hatred, to politics, and to Jihad (holy war against nonbelievers). The conclusions are striking. For example, 51 percent of the trilogy of texts is devoted to uncomplimentary and unloving portrayals of the Kafir, and there is more Jew-hatred in the trilogy (9.3 percent) than in Adolf Hitler’s Mein Kampf (7 percent).
    • sixty-eight current terror groups present on the U.S. Department of State’s Foreign Terrorist Organization List. Eighty-one percent of the terror groups (fifty-five of them) are Islamic. Two other terrorist groups (the Kurdistan Workers Party and the Revolutionary People’s Liberation Party/Front) are largely composed of Muslim individuals but their founding is not rooted in Islamic theology. The Canadian government maintains the Public Safety Canada’s list of terrorist organizations. 50It lists fifty-five terror groups, of which forty-four are Islamic (80 percent). These Islamic groups vary along ethnic, racial, linguistic, economic, political, and geographical lines but are united by a common religious ideology.
    • number of Islamic terror attacks since September 11, 2001. As of July 19, 2019, there have been 35,339 Islamist terror attacks in nearly 70 countries. 51This is astronomically higher than all other religions combined. The National Consortium for the Study of Terrorism and Responses to Terrorism produced a background report of global terrorism (for the year 2017) including the number of victims killed by the twenty most active terror groups. 52An astonishing 96.6 percent of the victims were murdered by Islamic groups (19,089 out of 19,752).
    • Polling
      • In 2010, a Pew survey captured the extent to which people from Islamic countries held unfavorable views of the Jews. 54Jew-hatred is the proverbial canary in the coal mine when it comes to measuring a society’s hateful prejudices. In Lebanon, 98 percent of those surveyed admitted to holding unfavorable views of Jews; in Jordan, the number was 97 percent; in the Palestinian territories, 97 percent; in Egypt, 95 percent; in Pakistan, 78 percent; in Indonesia, 74 percent; in Turkey, 73 percent; in Nigeria, 60 percent of Muslims dislike Jews, while a relatively paltry 28 percent of Christians do; and among Israeli Arabs, 35 percent. The Anti-Defamation League produced a global report of Jew-hatred using interviews with 53,100 individuals carried out between July 2013 and February 2014 in 101 countries and the Palestinian Territories (West Bank and Gaza). 55Here is the list of the sixteen most anti-Semitic countries, in decreasing order of hate: West Bank and Gaza, Iraq, Yemen, Algeria, Libya, Tunisia, Kuwait, Bahrain, Jordan, Morocco, Qatar, United Arab Emirates, Lebanon, Oman, Egypt, and Saudi Arabia. If only there was a way to uncover a unifying rubric for these bastions of love, peace, and tolerance.
      • Examining a society’s attitudes towards gay people serves as another valuable indicator of tolerance. Pew conducted a global survey in 2013 asking respondents whether homosexuality should be rejected by society.56 Islamic countries led the way in intolerance toward gays. Here are some of the relevant data: Senegal, 98 percent; Jordan, 97 percent; Egypt, 95 percent; Tunisia, 94 percent; the Palestinian territories, 93 percent; Indonesia, 93 percent; Pakistan, 87 percent; Malaysia, 86 percent; Lebanon, 80 percent; Turkey, 78 percent. The Western LGBTQ activists who belong to or support Queers for Palestine might be interested to know that Israel (even counting its Muslim population) is more than twice as tolerant of homosexuals as is Palestine. Incidentally, homosexuality can merit a death sentence in ten countries: Yemen, Iran, Mauritania, Nigeria, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Afghanistan, Somalia, Sudan, and United Arab Emirates.
      • How well do women fare around the world? In 2018, the World Economic Forum released “The Global Gender Gap Report,” wherein countries were ranked in terms of gender gaps in four domains: health, education, economics, and politics. 58 Out of 149 countries, here are the twenty worst for women, in decreasing rank order: Turkey, Ivory Coast, Bahrain, Nigeria, Togo, Egypt, Mauritania, Morocco, Jordan, Oman, Lebanon, Saudi Arabia, Iran, Mali, Democratic Republic of Congo, Chad, Syria, Iraq, Pakistan, and Yemen.
      • In 2018, the Foundation for the Advancement of Liberty, a Spanish libertarian think tank released its 2018 World Index of Moral Freedom wherein 160 countries were ranked on a composite score composed of five freedom measures. 59 Here are the rankings of the fourteen worst countries, in decreasing order: Libya, Oman, Algeria, Brunei, Pakistan, Iran, Egypt, Afghanistan, Kuwait, Qatar, Iraq, United Arab Emirates, Yemen, and Saudi Arabia. These nations vary along ethnic, racial, linguistic, economic, and sociopolitical metrics, but they have one thing in common.
      • Here are the countries that currently impose a death penalty for atheism: Afghanistan, Iran, Malaysia, Maldives, Mauritania, Nigeria, Pakistan, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Somalia, Sudan, United Arab Emirates, and Yemen.
      • Research Center examined which countries have the most governmental restrictions on religion. 61 Combining the data from the 2013 and 2014 surveys, the twenty worst countries are China, Indonesia, Uzbekistan, Iran, Egypt, Afghanistan, Saudi Arabia, Malaysia, Burma, Russia, Syria, Turkey, Azerbaijan, Sudan, Brunei, Eritrea, Kazakhstan, Turkmenistan, Laos, and the Maldives. Seventy-five percent of the worst countries are Muslimmajority nations.

  • Consideration Points to Contemplate
    • People from all religions or even believing in a dogmatic way, for instance Marxism, can take a normal person and turn them into a monster yet they think their being God-like. The issue is, Islam, the Quran itself, is a book that at the most fundamental, basic level incredibly violent and backward.
