FITNA

Hey guys – please watch this.  It’s a short film highlighting the violence demanded of Muslims within the Quran, and the subsequent vision and goal of the leaders of the Muslim religion.

(sorry – I don’t know how to imbed videos yet)

A few things to keep in mind. 

• We are constantly being told by the media that Islam is a “religion of peace”. 
• We are constantly told that this is a very, very small “fringe” segment of the Muslim population.
• Arguments are often used in defense of Islam, such as “you could pull out small texts from the Bible and make it look like Christianity is also violent,” or “what about the Crusades!?”
• Why bring this up anyway?  You’re just trying to incite hatred towards this group of people.

Here are some of my immediate responses:
A)  While it is agreed and accepted that not everyone who is a Muslim supports this behavior, it is another thing entirely to say that this religion stands for “peace”.  Clearly, the core Islamic doctrines promote violence and hostility toward anyone who disagrees with it.  I think it would be more accurate to say that non-violent Muslims are not “pure” according to the basic tenet of their faith and beliefs.
B) If these many acts of violence are, indeed, acts of a lunatic minority, then where are the majority of Muslims standing up and fiercely opposing these actions?  I would dare say that if any Christian behaved in such a way, there would be quick and hostile denunciations by the entire Christian community.  Yet, you don’t see this kind of response from the Muslim community at large.  Why not?
C)  Yes, I agree, that taken out of context you could manipulate the Bible to make it seem as if Christianity promoted violence.  However, my response is ”please demonstrate where are the violent acts by Christians against other religions?”  The best example that can be used is the Crusades, which happened anywhere from 700-900 years ago.  And NOONE defends the Crusades.  If Christianity’s core tenets were promoting violence against other groups, then I would think it probable that we would see many more acts of violence by Christians worldwide.
D) Why do I bring this up?  What can be done about it anyway?  I think first, we need to arm ourselves with TRUTH.  We can not hide behind the idea of “tolerance and diversity” and allow those who are completely (and violently) against us to come in and live amongst us.  That’s lunacy.  Secondly, for those who read and are followers of Christ, we must be aware of the larger/spiritual war that rages behind these actions.  I find it fascinating that “the Jews” are the group most hated by Muslims, with Christians following at a close second.  Why??  We are naiive to believe that Satan is not behind such attacks.
 
Here are a few of my questions to those who continue to purport that Islam is a religion of peace?

• Where are the women’s rights groups (NOW, etc) that are fighting for equal (and non-violent) treatment of women in that society?
• Where are the gay-rights groups, fighting the religion as a whole for its unilateral treatment of homosexuals?  I dare say that if ONE gay person were murdered in America in the name of Christianity, then we would have federal restrictions upon our churches within the year.  Where are all the opposers of “hate crimes” when it comes to opposing Islamic practices?
• Why is there such a refusal by the media to acknowledge the violence behind the core tenets of Islam?  Why are the American people continually given the propoganda that Islam is a “religion of peace?”  

This short is 15 minutes and was produced by a guy in the Netherlands who has seen his country and his government literally taken over by pro-Muslim/anti-democracy groups.
 
Another example:  Last year Great Britain passed a law allowing Sharia law in the UK.  Short explanation:  Muslim groups are allowed to operate/live in UK under their own laws and governance, which sometimes even contradicts with UK’s laws. 

There is also a very clear agenda for infiltrating America with the same strategy that is being used in European countries.  I read about it in Glen Beck’s book (which I can’t source here), but here is a good source I found that was from July of last year.  Here’s an OP-ED piece, which is FICTIONAL, but I think it’s a pretty prophetic view of what’s to come.
 
Bottom line:  we must be aware of what is going on around us and be bold enough to ask the right questions when we are confronted with propaganda about Islam, “the religion of peace”.
