Islamophobia, Salafi-jihadist Extremists and Millennialism (rant)

Perhaps this is the reason for islamophobia, and inspiration for extremists like those Islamic State militants:

Quran 8:12
"I will cast terror into the hearts of those who disbelieve.

Therefore strike off their heads and strike off every fingertip of them".


However, the verse reads in full:

'Your Lord inspired the angels: “I am with you, so support those who believe. I will cast terror into the hearts of those who disbelieve. So strike above the necks, and strike off every fingertip of theirs.”'

Upon reading Quran 8, the Islamophobe has taken the chapter as proof that the Quran is a book of militancy.

Given that the word Islam means submission to God, the Quran inspires all Muslims to join the greater Jihad of taming the heart so that evil passions including anger, fear, and lust, are defeated by the five daily rituals of cleansing and prayer.

As well, the militants' extremism is evidence of the lesser Jihad which imposes politics upon Islam resulting in the extreme form of Sharia that aggressively imposes their will on men, women and children while claiming it is the will of God.

Yet the Quran exposes these aggressors.

"Fight in the path of God those who fight you, but do not aggress. Surely God does not love the aggressors. And fight them where you come upon them, and send them out from where they have sent you out, for persecution is a worse thing than fighting. And do not fight them at the Sacred Mosque (in Mecca) unless they fight you there, but if they fight you, then fight them back. That is the reward of the rejectors. Then if they cease, so God is All-Forgiving, Gentle. And fight them until there is no more persecution and the religion is for God. But if they cease, so let there be no hostility except against wrongdoers." - Qur’an 2:190-193

Though these Salafi inspired extremists have labelled righteous Muslims who fight them and Westerners alike as wrongdoers the aggressors are blind to their own wrongdoing, which they spin as righteousness.

Truly the extremists follow political Islam, Islamism, not as a religion but as a cultic militancy that is fascist, millennialist and totalitarian.   Contrary to the will of God, their ideology reflects the will of men bent on ushering in the Armageddon that they believe will result in the Second Coming of Christ.

We are dealing with extremists whose goal is the millennialism that is the shared hope of Christendom.   Few mainstream media outlets will mention this because it would cause panic among the Christian millennialists, which lead to unsubstantiated fear that a no-fly zone over Syria will lead to a world war.   Right-wing fear mongers even predicted that nuclear war with Russia was imminent if Hillary Clinton is elected.

Yet nobody in power will ever discuss this aspect of al Qaeda, Islamic State and Taliban ideology due to the moral panic it might cause.

Notes on Salafi-jihadism

The Salafi groups—which experts say encompass some of the deadliest organizations today, including Al Qaeda, Hamas, and the violent splinter groups from the Muslim Brotherhood (al Ikhwan al Muslimun)—aim to re-create the perfection of the early Islamic period. Salafism is associated with the beliefs of Wahhabism (fundamentalism in Saudi Arabia) and fundamentalist interpretations of Islam throughout the Islamic world. Such groups advocate the use of violence and emphasize the smaller jihad against the nonbeliever over the more important and larger jihad within each individual. Salafism differs from Islamism in that it rejects any Western ideologies or constructs such as constitutions, political parties, and elections, which Islamists support (as long as Islamic parties benefit). - Mia Bloom, Bombshell

What is Salfism?
Salafis are fundamentalists who believe in a return to the original ways of Islam. The word 'Salafi' comes from the Arabic phrase, 'as-salaf as-saliheen', which refers to the first three generations of Muslims (starting with the Companions of the Prophet), otherwise known as the Pious Predecessors. - What is Salafism and should we be worried by it?

If the vast majority of non-Muslims find it difficult to strike the right chord between attacking Salafi-jihadists without being perceived as attacking Islam, the hurdles for the United States and its allies seem almost insurmountable. Therefore, a counter-terrorism approach that highlights the corruption of Salafi-jihadist ideology not on religious, but on secular grounds, is more likely to have the desired effect of weakening that ideology’s appeal.

Rather than highlighting the doctrinal and theological inconsistencies among Salafi-jihadists, the United States and its allies should grasp every opportunity to highlight the disastrous consequences that Salafi-jihadist violence has wrought on the everyday lives not only of Westerners, but first and foremost on Muslims themselves. It is a simple, though not sufficiently emphasized fact that the primary victims of Salafi-jihadists are Muslims, who are killed and maimed in far greater numbers than non-Muslims.

Salafi-jihadists openly justify the killing of civilians, including Muslims, under a logic of the ends justifying the means. It is equally a fact that leaders of Salafi-jihadist organizations hypocritically preach about the benefits of martyrdom, but rarely, if ever, conduct suicidal operations themselves, or send their loved ones on such missions. It is a fact that al-Qa`ida and associated groups offer no vision for Muslims other than perennial jihad—hardly an appealing prospect. - The Salafi Jihad as a Religious Ideology

Islamic State is an example of a Salafi-jihadist extremist group originally associated with al Qaeda that has brought Islamic fascism with a totalitarian spin on Sharia. Because of its extreme form of Salafi jihadism, most of the Muslim world has allied with the West to defend itself from this extremist group.

Make War No More in the Middle East (satire)

This article is not an anti-religion rant; it is an anti-war message. For my purpose for hurting the feelings of religionists, especially the post-Christians, is to spill my figurative guts about the forever war started by Christendom against the Muslims with the First Crusades.

All the Western powers that be are doing are perpetuating this war, rather than peace because they are forcing Western democracy on the Muslim nations and the Jihadis are also complicit in all of this too.

When the West admits that the War on Terrorism is a religious war against secularist globalism by the jihadis such as ISIS, that will mark their willingness to confront the truth.

Indeed, the Catholic Church has to make amends to the Muslim nations, and put their support behind the West and their UN and NATO forces.

As seen through jihadi eyes, the UN and NATO peace-keeping forces are viewed as a secular Crusade that threatens the integrity of world's only believers of God Almighty, ISIS and their al Qaeda and Taliban allies.

I condemn the Catholic Church for the trouble in the Middle East since the First Crusades, which was a mad grab for land, fame and power as well as removing unwanted lesser nobility so that the regal elite of Europe could vie for the honor of being offered kingdoms for forcibly converting the Teutonic, Gothic, and savage barbarians such as the Huns and Mongols.

As well, the Church failed to stop its petty wars in the Holy Land where it implemented proxy wars which still play out today. Indeed, the Crusades is the reason of why the Muslims are divided between jihadis and its Salafi origins within Saudi Arabia and the rest of Islam, both Shi'ite and Sunni.

Why do you think Christians are being persecuted today? Because of the delusion called "a healthy ego" and the rise of narcissism that gives rise to the arrogance of individualism. Even the public education system in the West promotes the ideals that is seen by the jihadis as "decadent hedonism" e.g. abandoning overdressed tradition for nearly-naked modernism.

Back over a thousand years ago, the First Crusade was when the current war against jihadis began &madash; back when the Saracens were growing more civilized in their conquered lands, two hundred years after Mohammed's death circa mid -7th century and continuing until the modern era.

It is indeed the epitome of a forever war; not in 1947, though.

For the rise of the state of Israel is actually a continuation of the rivalry between the French and the English, which was started when the Normans conquered England so long ago that only legends of that time remain.

Thus the proxy war that Bashir Al-Assad of Syria mentioned in an interview recently originally began with the Frankish and the English nobles founding a handful of kingdoms in the Holy Land.

Today, both France and England continue their rivalry in the Middle East to this day through their dealings with the US, Russia and China.

As well, the jihadism, the Salafism and the Islamism are also not new: they began right after Mohammed's death and continue on to this day.

It is time for the Church to continue to make amends with the Muslim nations, and to admit its part in this abuse of power starting with Charlemagne circa 768 CE.

For it is the backing of the State by Religion that is truly an evil: for example, the current case of the Orthodox Church in Russia. In their arrogance, the Russian Orthodox Church shows signs of corruption. Putin's pogrom against homosexuality is no different from the anti-gay rhetoric from the pulpits of Christendom in the Byzantine Empire. By scapegoating the LGBT community, the world's religions are distracting us from the fact that nobody really cares if a person is gay except to exercise control over their private affairs.

Likewise, the Muslim nations exercise control over the lives of its community with a big obsession with cleanliness, as though washing the hands and feet is enough to truly be clean.

No religion's hands are truly clean when it comes to war if they cannot turn their swords into ploughshares.

Oil, 911 and the Jihadi Threat (satire)

Back in 2001, almost everyone misinterpreted my comment sometime after 9-11 that whoever planned it had the right to protest but I disagreed with its execution. Yet the moderate Muslim clerics in America soon decried it.

Ever since then, the mainstream media (MSM) has filtered out their response and provided what I perceived as unfair commentary. What rankled me the most was the Russian Orthodox church taking a Crusader attitude to it.

Then the US government led a neo-Crusader war in Afghanistan and later in Iraq. I call these conflicts neo-Crusader because the optics in the Middle East and most Muslim countries is colored by religion.

According to Muslim claims, one reason 9-11 happened because of one US military base on Saudi soil. The result of this is the current Islamic State in northern Iraq, and the radicalization of individuals in the West sympathetic to the jihadi cult and its extremism, worldwide.

Not all of this war is positive: the Taliban, al Qaeda, and even the Islamic State are barely contained.

FWIW I view in general terms the conflict in the Middle East as a global conflict where secularism and its variety of consumerism versus the political extremism that I call "the jihadi cult."

To call it radical Islam may be mistaken, since the MSM have filtered out the historical justification that the jihadi cult makes, which paints it as a continuation of the Crusades but with American secularism having replaced the Catholic church as defenders of Western values.

After reading about the Jordanian pilot being burned alive by the Islamic State, I heartily agree with the Jordani call to "wipe them out."

However, it is because of the oil wells in Syria that that conflict continues; it is because of the pipeline across Afghanistan that region may see more conflicts with the Taliban; and it is because of the pipeline from Russia into the Ukraine that is behind that conflict.

No nation is willing to admit to that. Even the US government will censor it. Instead, the Islamic State is a distraction as are the terrorist incidents in America, in the UK and even in Canada.

So is the Charlie Hebdo attack, the killing of a British soldier in the UK, the Bostom Marathon bombing, and the bombings in London. The MSM will never expose the fact that our worldwide oil supply is running out is the main reason for these conflicts.

Instead, the pretext for the conflicts (the West's demand for oil and its consumption) will be discounted as conspiracy theory.

Meanwhile, the propaganda against Islam continues unabated, despite the fact that most of the propaganda is too a distraction from the truth: the jihadi cults of al Qaeda, Islamic State and the Taliban are no longer tacitly supported by most moderate Muslim clerics. Ergo, the Islamophobes' fear mongering is no cause for concern, for it only feeds into the fears of right-wing conservatives without balancing it with the simple fact that most Muslims are not blood-thirsty terrorists.

Even Salafi Muslims are distancing themselves from the Islamic State.

Radical Islam is the threat, but not one MSM outlet will suggest bombing those oil wells that the Islamic State own. That is because the conflict is over oil and who owns it.

Update: February 13, 2015

Perhaps the Noble Qur'an in Surat Al-Baqarah, specifically Surah 2:6-21 (Shakir translation) best sums up extremist groups such as Al Qaeda, Islamic State and the Taliban as well as their allies in Nigeria and in Kenya.

Surely those who disbelieve — whether you warn them or not, it is the same to them — will not believe. God has set a seal upon their hearts and upon their hearing and there is a covering over their eyes, and there is a great punishment for them.

There are some people who say: "We believe in God and the last day"; and they are not at all believers. They desire to deceive God and those who believe, but they deceive only themselves and they do not perceive.

There is a disease in their hearts, so God added to their disease and they shall have a painful chastisement because they lied. When it is said to them, "Do not make mischief in the land," they say: "We are but peace-makers."

Now surely they themselves are the mischief makers, but they do not perceive. When it is said to them: "Believe as the people believe," they say: "Shall we believe as the fools believe?" Now surely they themselves are the fools, but they do not know.

When they meet those who believe, they say: "We believe;" and when they are alone with their Shaitans, they say: "Surely we are with you, we were only mocking." God shall pay them back their mockery, and He leaves them alone in their excessiveness, blindly wandering on.

These are they who buy error for the right direction, so their bargain shall bring no gain, nor are they the followers of the right direction. O men! serve your Lord Who created you and those before you so that you may guard against evil.

This quote is in reference to Muslims, specifically extremists, and in it God admonishes the true believer in Islam to not "make mischief in the land" while declaring themselves peace-makers and reformers.

Apparently the extremists in the Islamic State claim to be serving God yet their acts speak for themselves: wanton acts of violence against innocent Christians, Muslims, Yazidis and humanitarian aid workers. This is not Shariah; this too is a mockery of Shariah.

Despite claiming to be Muslim, the Islamic State has mocked God while committing horrible acts of violence, contrary to Islamic law. It is no wonder that the whole world has decried what they did to the Jordanian pilot.

Because of this latest spectacle of violence, most Muslims have aligned with the West, specifically America, including Canada, Japan, the UK and also Jordan, Kuwait, the United Arab Emirates (UAE), and even Saudi Arabia — to name a few of the Middle East nations. Their religious leaders have condemned the violence, and their political leaders have sent personnel to bomb the extremists. Other nations have sent humanitarian aid.

Recently the Syrian Foreign Minister criticized the violation of Syrian air space by the Jordanians. He has also rejected plans by the West to send in ground troops on Syrian soil.

Since the Islamic State occupies both sides of the border between Syria and Iraq, it is expedient to deal with the imminent threat of the extremists and let the diplomats both Syrian and Jordanian to work out the rules of engagement.

As well, the lack of protection of humanitarian aid workers has led to kidnappings and murders by the Islamic State. This is sad and tragic for their surviving families, especially since innocent lives have been lost.

Earlier I have endorsed the opinion that Jordan should help wipe out the Islamic State. Now that the UAE is also stepping up to the plate to help defeat the extremists, this is both good news and bad news. The bad news: more innocent victims might be killed. This is a given, considering the ruthless violence that the Islamic State is capable of. As for the good news, it disproves the conservative fallacy that "all Muslims are not to be trusted."

For not all Muslims are terrorists.

Indeed, extremism and other acts of violence that lead to terrorism are the work of jihadi cult members who pretend to believe in God and violently carry out their version of Sharia as the only true law. Were they truly believers of God's Oneness, they would not excuse their violence against Muslims and non-Muslims by misquoting the Quran.

Instead, they would treat both Muslims and non-Muslims kindly. Indeed, the extremists commit acts of violence that invalidate their claims of being Muslims, for they have become a law unto themselves.

While this war could be shortened by taking out the oil wells and sabotaging the oil pipeline leading to Banias, Syria, both sides want to keep these assets from harm, lest pollution from burning raw oil contaminate the landscape. Most importantly, if oil assets are destroyed, the war may escalate into a scorched earth scenario that will lead to more innocent lives being lost.

Since neither side wants that to happen, we shall see the continuation of the endless war which began when the US government sent its troops to "liberate" Baghdad in 2003.

It is quite clear that the West wants Assad's oil. Heck, the West also wants Russia's oil, which explains the current Ukraine crisis.

So this endless war is not going to stop any time soon. Meanwhile, more home-grown terrorism in Asia, Europe, The Americas (Canada and the US) and even Australia and New Zealand will be uncovered in the future.

Why we need Muslim terrorists in Canada (satire)

1. They will assassinate drug dealers but never deal in marijuana.
   
2. Sharia law will be enforced, rather than be eroded by anti-religion manifestos like in Quebec. Though the government will have to pay them off to keep their women safe from honor killing and FGM.
   
3. They could be used to keep the Pakistani-Canadian gang members in check e.g. assassinate pedophile Muslims.
   

Seriously though, the Canadian government is going to watch these guys when they return from Syria. It's unlikely they'll be on Muslim criminals' side after becoming Salafi. Those guys are anti-drug to the point of beheading drug dealers in Syria. So, why not use our Canadian al Qaeda to take a bite out of Muslim crime in Canada? Isn't that why the Canadian government sent them to al Nusra Front in Syria in the first place? I mean, we have Canadians there fighting beside the rebels against Assad. They will eventually come home once Assad is overthrown and his army obliterated.

This is probably why no country is supplying the rebels with bigger firepower yet. If only automatic rifles and smaller arms gets to them, then it'll be easier for the Syrian military to keep them at bay. However, it would be stupid to supply them with enough firepower to wipe out Assad, because that would force China and Russia to step in. When you add to this al Qaeda forces coming out of Pakistan, it's not hard to suspect Pakistan's Islamists and Taleban are doing what comes naturally for them, since Pakistan was the staging ground for most of the Taliban of Afghanistan.

Remember: there are up to 100 Canadian al Qaeda at the moment. Think of how useful they will be cleaning up Canadian inner cities from Halifax to Toronto to Edmonton to Vancouver, keeping it free of drug dealers. Sadly though, the security experts predict they will turn to crime and blow up trains and assassinate city councils. That's only if we deny them sharia law courts. However, it's going to cost a lot of money to keep them in line.

I'm sure sending in al Qaeda to take a bite out of crime in Canada is worth it because the RCMP are doing a shitty job of it as of now. The reports of Canadians in Syria fighting for al Qaeda implies they will get tips on how to foment "revolution" in Canada when they return. However, they may also eliminate gang members who offend them, not to steal drugs but to show what happens when sharia is used against drug dealers. Our criminal gangs in Canada are out of control. Legal enforcement and the justice system only recently legislated against gang violence by criminalizing it. However, they still fight with staff in youth custody facilities.

There was a recent incident in BC where a youth detention staff member was severely injured by a suspected teenaged gang member. I bet the government employees union is grieving that. For how can a staff member do his job if he is going to get beat up or killed at work?

While turning Canadian al Qaeda into anti-drug squad is fraught with the risk of death and injury, the risk of death and injury is prevalent in the lifestyle of gang members. The Surrey Six who died needlessly is a case in point.

When you start assassinating your rivals for horning in on your territory, then you are acting in a psychopathic manner that is contrary to the safety and security of law-abiding citizens like the two guys who were pulled in and murdered in cold blood, merely for being witnesses. Instead of targeting the State (the US government) for depriving their gangs of cocaine from Mexican cartels, gangsters in Vancouver plotted to kill off gang rivals in the big fight to distribute the dwindling supply of cocaine.

Overall, the deaths of four gang members and two innocent bystanders is a senseless waste of lives and of time. It was done because one gang tried to extort a "fee" from rival gang members to deal in their territory. When the rivals wouldn't pay up, they were executed. If Canadian al Qaeda are added to this, gang members could hire their services to wipe out other gangs.

However, the risk would be that the al Aqaeda would wipe them out if they don't convert to Islam and fight for the greater good of the imminent Caliphate. Islamists like this will threaten the group dynamics in the prison system if arrested and incarcerated with the general population.

You will see prisoners converting to Islam because the Islamists will protect you to the death. This is happening in the UK right now. It's only a matter of time before it occurs in Canada.

The Suppression of Arab Spring (satire)

al-Arsuzi is one of the founding fathers of Arab Baathism, which dominates Syrian government.

Arab Baathism is a mainly secular ideology based on Arab Marxism, due to pan-Arabist ideology. It differs greatly from the pseudo-religious ideology of al Qaeda and the Islamists, who are inspired by Salafi and Wahhabi ideology that dominates Saudi Arabian politics and the Saudi regimes of Qatar, Kuwait and Saudi Arabia as well as Bahrain.

Most Muslims devoted to Salafi and Wahhabi are not fanatics like al Qaeda. Sharia does not promote the killing of a Muslim by another Muslim. A Muslim would call it haram, which means "forbidden" or "taboo".

I would even consider al-Qaeda and the Islamists as well as other related terrorist groups (Chechen, Somalian, and home-grown terrorists seduced by on-line charismatic Muslim jihad rhetoric) to actually be subconscious unbelievers who project their unbelief onto other Muslims outside their small in-group.

When they get the expected outrage from Muslims, these fanatics then play the al Qaeda version of King of the Hill, in which they claim to be the only true believers. Their twisted logic is thus based on a pathological denial of their unbelief combined with the promise that by ridding the world of unbelievers in a holy war of jihad, the al Qaeda jihadi will on his death be carried to Paradise by angels who are sacred virgins.

I consider it likely these angels are actually Valkyries carrying fallen souls to Purgatory to prepare them like gold ore for refinement.

In my opinion, Arab Spring was suppressed in the Arab nations I have mentioned in this article as well being currently suppressed in Syria today.

Though the current situation in Syria is not a civil war but a proxy war by the following list of characters on one side.

This is because money talks as Qatar, Kuwait and Saudi Arabia finance the al Qaeda fanatics with covert approval by Canada, the US, the UK, New Zealand and Australia, who are the Five Eyes of the West.

Some of these characters were in the International Security Assistance Force that invaded Afghanistan to replace the repressive regime of the Taleban with the closest thing to a democratic government. A similar coalition known as Multi-National - Iraq also invaded Iraq under the false flag of weapons of mass destruction (WMD). Lumping the nations that opted out of this Coalition together, I'll call the ones who may have trade ties with the three Arab nations and the Five Eyes nations, the Friends of the Coalition in Afghanistan and Iraq (FCAI) to make this article readable.

Opposing the Coalition are Russia and China.

Most of the European Union (EU) is neutral but willing to make trade pacts with the newly minted democratic governments of both Afghanistan and Iraq while keeping whatever trade ties they may have with both sides, along with the Coalition.

As well, the FCAI may be considered to be neutral but also willing to do trade with Russia and China.

Some of the EU may also be in the FCAI. Most of the nations in Africa are in the FCAI.

To simply their relationship, let's imagine three circles intersecting each other. On the left is Russia and China and on the right, the Coalition. Intersecting both of these circles is the FCAI.

Moving right along, my reason for presenting a short history lesson of Arab Baathism by introducing one of the founding fathers is because of the current crisis in Syria. My analysis of al Qaeda however is due to their presence in Syria.

By using psychobabble in describing their subconscious projection and conscious denial of it, I am attempting to present humor into the situation. As well, the description of a jihadi's afterlife is presented in terms that a Westerner can understand. I merely paraphrased the al Qaeda political ideology.

As for depicting the angels as being like the Valkyries taking a jihadi to Purgatory, I am parodying an unorthodox mashup of Norse mythology about the Valkyries who were said to take fallen Viking warriors to Valhalla, the Norse Paradise for warriors combined with the Christian ideal of a Purgatory for fallen souls and added a hint of my personally created mythology about Purgatory and subtly implied that fallen souls will redeemed after being purified like gold ore into pure gold, perhaps after being purified in a pit of brimstone and fire. ;)

My opinion about Arab Spring failing in Qatar, Kuwait and Saudi Arabia implies that it never appeared in those nations.

The Moors Declined Due to Economic Competition with the Holy Roman Empire (satire)

I once checked the genetic map for Spain. It turns out that the ancestry of Spanish men were likely to be Greek, Berber, and what used to be called Moorish, along with a few Normans, Carthaginians, and Visigoths.

On the female side, the mitochondria assaying shows a predominantly Western European gene-pool e.g. Christian Hispanics (of Norman and Visigoth ancestry) sealing trade deals with the Moors by marrying off their daughters to predominantly Berber and a few Arabic Muslims.

Indeed, Spain and a part of France, and Sicily was conquered by the Moors, who soon settled into fiefdoms, only to conquer their neighboring Moorish governor if he kept his borders unguarded.

Once the Moors began to encroach on the Christian northlands of the Iberian peninsula, Christian knights in France were beseeched by emissaries of the Pope to rid Hispania of the Moors.

However, during the Moorish domination of Hispania, increased trade led to alliances between Christians, Jews and Muslims. IMO the reason for the Inquisition was originally to ensure piety and forced Christian conversion, so that the Pope's coffers were full of the faithful's tithes (and property when they died without heirs).

So the Colonial Period of Europe was probably due to economic competition with the Muslims. And it is not preposterous to have the Muslims discover America first.

Once the Catholics had the Moors leaving Spain, they at first let the Moors alone, being told they would give up Islam for Christianity along with a few of the Jews. In the end, a mass exodus of Jews left Spain for Constantinople and Asia Minor.

Meanwhile the Moors were forced to accept Christian or be burned at the stake after being tortured by the Inquisitors from Rome, who were Jesuits.

So, it was not just the lust for gold in China that led to Colonial powers of Europe sailing west. It was also the fact that a lot of gold left with the vanquished Moors, and Spain became somewhat impoverished just as the Dark Ages were falling.

Without the Moorish presence, the King and Queen of Portugal had to send explorers to find more gold to rebuild Spain for Western European tastes.

A pity though. The Moors were a cash cow for Europe but the Pope's anti-Muslim bigotry led to the rise of the Plague, since the storehouses of grain probably had less cats keeping the rats at bay due to the wars that drove the Moors out.

Now today, the average European is ignorant of Muslim culture and its history in the Levant and Arabia. So are a great many Americans, whose hatred is unfounded and much Islamophobia is concentrated among neo-conservative religious folk some of whom can barely read science or do their income taxes. As for any sense of history, even their GOP leaders are simpletons about Arab history in the Middle East.

In my opinion, this is probably why 911 happened: to smarten the West up to the fact that it was not Muslims who bombed the World Trade Centres but Islamists and al Qaeda who have made a mockery of Islam by using Salafi and Wahhabi Islam rhetoric in perverted ways.

Meanwhile, these political ideologists are not truly religious but fanatical about Sharia without any compassion or mercy whatsoever. If the descendant of Moors were more organized, then they'd teach the fanatical terrorists about what real Sharia actually is. But alas! They are in an unofficial civil war in Liberia, or dominated by the Muslim Brotherhood west of Tripoli to Morocco.

Indeed, the Arab Spring has yet to bear any fruit of democracy, due to the perversion of Salafi and Wahhabi ideology into its political ideology consisting of being so pious everyone else is an unbeliever and only worthy of death.

Qatar, Kuwait and Saudi Arabia are their bankrollers, and America and Canada their propagandists.

Get Out of Syria, Al Qaeda Terrorists! / الخروج من سوريا وإرهابيي القاعدة

السلفية هي شكل من أشكال الفاشية الدينية عند واحد من أعضائها تطالب النساء بتغطية وجوههن ويواجه الرجال مكة المكرمة خمس مرات في اليوم بعد غسل أقدامهم للصلاة.

تنظيم القاعدة يأخذ الفكر السلفي خطوة أخرى إلى يزعمون أنهم الآحاد الله المختار وأن جميع المسلمين الآخرين هم الكافرون لحظة والاسترخاء الأصولية من خلال فصل الكنيسة والدولة.

وبالتالي هذا ليس من الإسلام في شيء. لمحمد (الحمد له) لم نشن حربا ضد المسيحيين أو اليهود. بل كان يعاقب اليهود للخيانة ثقته ومنافسيه إنهاء لادعائه النبوة.

حتى معركة الجمل ليست على وشك التمرد والردة، ولكن عن نيتبيكينج على القيادة المنتخبة مقابل القيادة الموروثة، والفرق بين الخليفة المنتخب وسلالة الأئمة.

هذا هو الانشقاق من الشيعة والسنة.

النضال السوري حفر حكومة الأقلية الشيعية، وجميعهم من العلويين، ضد الأغلبية السنية.

ما هو جبهة النصرة آل ولكن واجهة لهيمنة الأميركية في سوريا؟
ما هو آل النصرة ولكن تابعا لتنظيم القاعدة؟ ما هو تنظيم القاعدة في العراق وبلاد الشام ولكن واجهة لمجموعة أصدقاء سوريا؟

وتمول المنظمات الإرهابية على حد سواء من قبل قطر والكويت والمملكة العربية السعودية.

مجموعة سوريا الحرة هو في الواقع منظمة غير حلف شمال الاطلسي التي تمول تنظيم القاعدة والشركات التابعة لها لغزو الأراضي وإقامة الشريعة، والذي يشكل تحديا لحقوق الإنسان بسبب قمعها من الرجال والنساء والأطفال الذين يرغبون فقط في أن يكون حرا.

للشيعة والسنة على حد سواء أحرار عندما لا يحكم الشريعة أراضيهم. وبالتالي آل النصرة والقاعدة ليست في سوريا أن تطلق سراح أحد ولكن لقمعهم مع أحكام الشريعة.
— Translation: English —
Salafi is a form of religious fascism when one of its members demands that women cover their faces and men face Mecca five times a day after washing their feet to pray.

al Qaeda takes Salafi ideology a step further to claim they are Allah's Chosen Ones and that all other Muslims are unbelievers the moment they relax their fundamentalism by separating church and state.

Thus this is not Islam at all. For Mohammed (praise be unto him) did not wage war against Christians or Jew. Rather he punished the Jews for betraying his trust and terminated rivals to his claim of Prophethood.

Even the Battle of The Camel is not about rebellion and apostasy, but about nitpicking over elected leadership versus inherited leadership, and the difference between an elected Caliph and a dynasty of imams.

Such is the schism of Shi'a and Sunni.

Syria's struggle pits a Shi'a minority government, all of them Alawi, against a Sunni majority.

What is al-Nusra Front but a front for American dominance of Syria?
What is al-Nusra but an Al-Qaeda affiliate? What is al-Qaeda of Iraq and the Levant but a front for the Friends of Syria Group?

Both terrorist organizations are funded by Qatar, Kuwait and Saudi Arabia.

The Free Syria Group is actually a non-NATO organization that funds al-Qaeda and its affiliates to conquer territory and establish Sharia, which is a challenge to human rights due to its oppression of men, women and children who just wish to be free.

For Shi'a and Sunni alike are free when Sharia does not rule their land. Therefore Al-Nusra and al-Qaeda are not in Syria to free anyone but to oppress them with Sharia.

PressTV's Propaganda or News Facts?

I've viewed PressTV and find myself amused by the spin they take.

I hope they interview that Lebanese singer Nancy Ajram about her songs for children, and her assuming modesty after her early years as entertainer, showing off her beauty. PressTV would perfectly play the clown for a classroom of middle school students.

Its content is easy enough for children 12 and up to understand to get a feel for Shi'a propaganda as opposed to the Salafi-influenced Egyptian and Hamas rhetoric and the civil war in Iraq between Salafi Sunni who were once the ruling minority and Shi'a majority (which actually now has become internal conflict within Iraqi parliament.

It is sad that Assad's Syria consists of the same demographics as Iraq but is not surprising as Iraq and Syra have been under Baathist dictatorships since 1966. Thus, the struggle in Syria is related to the NATO-backed Salafi Sunnis and the rebel Shi'a nationalists of Iraq, many of whom love the Iranian moral support but crave more munitions be diverted from Iran, rather than the infrequent trickle of today.

However, don't rely on my one-sided monologue. Check out PressTV to see why it's called propaganda.
