Clever Calgary Imams Playing it Safe

Some clever imams have signed a petition for Canadian and American Muslims (and imams) to denounce terrorism.

Of course this is a ploy to get Canadians to exclaim: even imams don't like terrorists!

Firstly, the petition never explains who these extremists are. They could be Tamil Tiger terrorists, for all they care, or abortion clinic bombers.

Second, and related to the first, they don't denounce jihad, which is what Muslim "terrorism" is all about. They of course do not see jihad as terrorism, as this frank (for a change) Muslim announced here. So jihad can continue, but terrorism is out.

Third, they are simply lying. Taqqiya is a common strategy by Muslims in times of jihad and war with infidels and infidel countries to gain the upper hand.

Finally, they make very clear that Canada and the U.S. have already accepted Muslims, who entered these countries and are infiltrating them through the original strategy of Hirja or immigration - which is how Mohammed entered and converted Medina into a Muslim city. As the petition says, Muslims can observe every aspect of their religion, from Ramadan to building mosques, in absolute freedom.

All this petition is doing is to try and avoid angry retaliation by Canadians and Americans after the recent bombing attempt on Christmas day by the Nigerian Muslim.

Don't rock the boat, for now, is the message. But, tomorrow, or the next day, or at any other unpredictable moment, Muslim jihadists can (and will) resume their violent incursion into these countries. It is written in the Koran, after all. And it is not terrorism.

This Is Exactly Right!

Virginia Muslims: "We are jihadists, and jihad is not terrorism"

Good Muslims

I've written about Abul Kasem here, who was on a Frontpage Magazine symposium which also included Robert Spencer. Kasem, an ex-Muslim delineated the Islamic presence in the West very clearly, and even gave some steps to alleviate that problem. When I confronted Spencer about his lack of solutions, his only response was that he thought the public wasn't ready to see Muslims as the "bad guys."

Kasem is interviewed again by Jamie Glasov of FPM about Front Hood's jihadist Hasan. Here's what he has to say about good Muslims:

The US military says they desperately need Muslim soldiers to fight the war. They want more good Muslims to join the US army. But the Islamic terrorists are the good Muslims. Major Hasan is a good Muslim.

Who, What, Where, When and How

Pamela Geller of Atlas Shrugs (about whom I have posted here) has an article on American Thinker and writes about the sharia take-over of America. She says:

By and large, the conservatives have dropped the ball on Islamic jihad. This has been made painfully clear by the lack of a leader on the right who speaks to and takes up the fight against the sweeping Islamization of America. America has no Geert Wilders.

Geller, along with Robert Spencer, Andrew Bostom and Daniel Pipes is one of the more realistic of the conservatives writing on Islam. But she has never advocated before for a national leader to combat the Islamic take-over. Could she be reading this blog?

But, more to the point, these writers spend almost every day (sometimes several times a day) writing about jihad, sharia, honor killings and the myriad of horrors that Islam is bringing to the West. Geller says she's been doing this since 2005. What made her wait so long to make this recommendation? I have been writing my side-blog Our Changing Landscape since last September, and I almost immediately realized that writing about, or more precisely describing, the problem wasn't enough.

Perhaps that is the curse of writers. It takes so much energy for them to forumlate the words on paper, that they are unable to pull the meanings out and act on them in concrete ways.

Of course, in my short post a couple of days ago titled "What to do about it," I presented concrete ideas and my own humble plan of action. Geller, a seasoned writer, who should be able to come up with the who, what, where, when and how, was unable to do this.

Just words, again. Just words.

"They shot me! And I'm still here in this country!"

These were the words of Pfc. Keara Bono who was wounded in the shoulder from Nidal Malik Hasan's gun shot at Fort Hood.

People have spent a lot of time lately differentiating sharia from jihad; peaceful encroachments through sharia and hijra or immigration (for total take-over - what's peaceful about that?) from violence. I wrote in a recent post that they're intertwined. Islam cannot work without jihad. However successful the "peaceful" means are, jihad - violent confrontation of the infidels - has to be part of the picture. That was what Nidal Malik Hasan was doing.

There will be death and carnage, there will be jihad. It is written in the Koran. Either way, sharia and hijra, or jihad, the final outcome is a complete take-over. The picture is not pretty, however one looks at it.

And please, no longer the victimized, poor Muslims, or the unassimilated angry Muslims who will fit in with time. This guy was born in Virginia, and he had enough money to train as a medical doctor, and later a psychiatrist.
