Making Excuses Muslim Style

In the wake of what the Council on American-Islamic Relations repeatedly calls an "alleged airline terror plot" (notice they never refer to Israeli attacks in Lebanon as "alleged") Muslim groups in Britain, the United States and around the world continue to trumpet the big lie that US/UK foreign policy and support for Israel and stealing Muslim oil (while paying a record $75+ per barrel) is the root cause of terrorism.

The British blog, Making Headlines, runs down the latest excuse making from Muslims in Britain who push a subtle version of the false claim that radicalism is caused by scenes of Israeli bombings in Lebanon in particular and overall Western foreign policy in general.

None of this is new of course. Both Al Queda #2, Ayman Zawahiri and And American Leftist Cindy Sheehan have stated that the cause of terrorism is support for Israel and "infidel armies"occupying the land of Mohammed. This "occupation" means all of the Middle East (later the world) and would also mean the destruction of Israel.

Contradictions Ignored

It won't surprise anyone paying the slightest attention that this stated goal is nothing more than the typical big lie propaganda that is so eagerly lapped up by delusional lefties in denial and their comrades in the lamestream "news" media.

We could go down the list of attacks against fellow Muslims targeted in Afghanistan, Iraq, Iran, Egypt, Sudan, Algeria. And let's not forget the bombing of a Muslim wedding at a Jordanian hotel last year.

The British Broadcasting Corporation reported less than three weeks ago on the murder of a Buddhist teacher in Thailand; killed in front of a classroom of children. More than 1,300 Buddhists have been murdered by Islamic fascists in Thailand in the last two years. No one, not even Muslim apologists have attempted to accuse the Buddhists of supporting Israel or US/UK foreign policy.

Indoctrination of Hate Root Cause of Terrorism

If you've viewed the movie "Obsession" you had a pretty good primer into indoctrination of the culture of hate and death that permeates radical and fascist Islam. The roots of this problem go back centuries, long before Israel existed as a state. And more recently, military ties between Muslim groups and the Nazis (photos here) where Muslims were recruited to fight for Germany make it clear that the problem isn't anything new.

Children are inculcated at an early age to embrace jihad and die for Allah. The toddlers shown at right were "playing" jihad during protests in London over the Danish cartoons in February. But this is mild compared to what happens every day in places like Gaza (photo presentation here).

The Goal: Islam Rules the World

The ultimate goal of jihad as practiced by those who embrace the culture of death and hate is Muslim domination of the entire world. A world where Sharia law is paramount over all.

Not all Muslims believe this, but their voices are increasingly harder to find. One voice of clarity is that of Tashbih Sayyed who in July writes:

Who is a moderate Muslim?

Muslims who oppose theocracy, who seek democracy, who want equal rights for women and an end to child labor, honor killings, and child marriages are moderates. But there is much more to the concept than just these basics. Before enlisting an apparently moderate Muslim group in the war on Islamist terror, we must know a bit more. Do they believe that non-Muslims are inherently inferior? Do they consider religious or national identity pre-eminent? What do they believe about Jews and Israel? How do they characterize Arab terrorism in Israel? What is their opinion about Osama bin Laden's long list of grievances? Do they consider the war on terror a war on Islam?

This entire article is a must read.

It would be an understatement to say that is a minority viewpoint.

The more radical voices which, President Bush accurately described as "Islamic fascism,"( a term strongly opposed by Muslim groups like CAIR) seem to be heard above all others. And it's this tolerance in the Muslim community for those who espouse the culture of hate and death which makes it all the more difficult to eradicate the problem.

Here's an American example of where this culture leads. A video from the Islamic Thinkers Society, whose web site proudly proclaims: "We invite you to Islam," presumably before it is too late. One fine day not long ago on the streets of New York, the Thinkers gathered and shot a video that pretty much unmasks who they are:

In accented English, these hometown terrorists trampel an American flag underfoot while holding a Koran high and declaring : "Our loyalty does not belong to this flag but to the laws of Allah...[the goal of Islam is] to dominate all other religions, to dominate the United States, to dominate the world." This monster goes on to encourage fellow American Muslims to join their Jihad "Do not be afraid, this is not so much like your countries at home where you raise your voice and they come after you and they take you in for torture. No! One of the loopholes in this country is that they allow the freedom of expression. "

What? No torture? Someone tell the Democrats!

Are these minority Muslim viewpoints? Here's a reminder from the chart describing Muslim allegiance to their religion, not the nation to which they reside.
