Apologists for Islam often quote, out of context, a Koranic verse, which says ‘Whosoever killeth a human being… it shall be as if he had killed all mankind, and whoso saveth the life of one, it shall be as if he had saved the life of all mankind” as proof that Islam is humanitarian.Huffington Post UK Director Who Called Non-Muslims Animals, Claims Islam is Not Hateful
In fact this is a Talmudic quote that the Koran appropriates and then uses to spew hate against the Jews and Christians as unbelievers. Hasan, like most apologists, amends the quote removing the exception that you may kill as revenge for a killing or “for creating disorder in the land”. Those who create disorder should “be slain or crucified or their hands and their feet be cut off on alternate sides.”
For a full measure of Mehdi’s perversity, the Koranic verse quoted by the London Beheader advocating an eye for an eye is in Koran 5:46. The one quoted by Mehdi is in 5:33.
In a recent Al-Jazeerah interview, Richard Dawkins was asked his views on God. He argued that the god of "the Old Testament" is "hideous" and "a monster", and reiterated his claim from The God Delusion that the God of the Torah is the most unpleasant character "in fiction".READ MORE
As you can see, Dawkins has no trouble attacking the Hebrew God in a most direct and uncompromising manner. No atheist wallflower he.
Asked if he thought the same of the God of the Koran, Dawkins ducked the question, saying: "Well, um, the God of the Koran I don't know so much about."
How can it be that the world's most fearless atheist, celebrated for his strident opinions on the Christian and Jewish Gods, could profess to know so little about the God of the Koran? Has he not had the time? Or is Professor Dawkins simply demonstrating that most crucial trait of his species: survival instinct.
Whoops. It’s funny how these confident, cocksure prophets of atheism-who barely have time to take a breath between slamming the tenets of Christianity and Judaism-often get curiously tongue-tied and shy when the subject of Islam comes up. The idea that Dawkins doesn’t “know so much about” the God of the Koran is absurd. Of course he knows about Islam. And the same disdain and disregard that he has for Judaism and Christianity should surely apply to Islam as well.
The truth is that bashing and mocking Judaism and Christianity is easy and painless. You’ll get praise and admiration from those within the “right” circles of academia, media, and entertainment. Your opponents will argue with and debate your views and they may even offer (gasp) to pray for you. There’s no real price to pay at all.
However, should you direct the same scathing criticisms towards Islam you’ll find those “right” circles suddenly closed off to you. And your opponents’ rebuttals may not be offered in articles and debate halls, but rather with bullets, bombs, and knives. Standing up to that takes real courage not the false bravado we see on displays as atheists attack Judaism and Christianity.
An inappropriate relationship with top ranking military officers is one thing. An inappropriate relationship between a woman with ties to foreign governments, some of whom are in league with enemies of the United States, and top military officers operating in a theater against terrorists with ties to some of those same countries is wildly problematic.Jill Khawam Kelley acted as “Go-Between” for Central Command Officers and Muslim Leaders
We are talking Cold War era stuff here.
The guilt of the West lies in the out-and-out lies (there is no compulsion in Islam) despite overwhelming evidence (in the quran and the daily death toll worldwide) and the silence of the lambs (media, culture and political elites). The majority of devout Muslims believe this because this is Islam and this is what is taught, but the acquiescence to this brutal and radical ideology by the "enlightened" is unforgivable.Muslims Brutally Beat Christian With Rods for Refusing Islam
Even if you don’t do anything else today, please take a moment to look at the two videos that Ann Barnhardt, an intrepid Colorado resident, made a couple of days ago responding to Senator Lindsey Graham’s spineless attack on Terry Jones, the Florida minister who presided over a “trial” and burning of a Koran late last month.

Folks are sending me links to all the different websites that have posted me. Many folks are posting movie clips that they feel apply to me, like the DeNiro "Taxi Driver" clip, etc. Ladies and Gentlemen, I've got you covered. If you want to know who I am, down to the bone, you need look no further than the clip below, which is one of the single greatest scenes in cinema.

Karzai knew what the outcome of his condemnation would be. People are dying to help his wretched country move out of the dark ages and what we get in return are finger pokes in the eye from him and suspect “kill team” footage from a liberal press. I believe the timing of the events is not coincidental, but I am cynical by nature.Read the whole thing...
Enter our President into the fray:
Devotion to Jihad for the sake of Allah, and the desire to shed blood, to smash skulls, and to sever limbs for the sake of Allah and in defense of His religion, is, undoubtedly, an honor for the believer. . .Why don't you believe them???
The Koranic verses that deal with fighting the infidels and conquering their countries say that they should convert to Islam, pay the jizya poll tax or be killed.
More than eight years after 9/11, with the United States still at war with an enemy that attacked it on a scale not seen since Peal Harbor, U.S. national security is in the hands of a brilliant political campaigner--but a grossly inexperienced and inept leader--who has shown himself to be more comfortable quoting "the Holy Koran" than protecting the world's greatest democracy against those who seek its destruction in the name of Islam's central religious text.Read the whole thing!
POSTSCRIPT: Pamela Geller's powerful piece on the comng, post-American, Jihad decade is another must read. Geller is the editor and publisher of Atlas Shrugs, and the author (with Robert Spencer) of the forthcoming book The Post-American Presidency: The Obama Administration's War on America (Simon and Schuster, July 2010).
Sharia OK with Obama's Top LawyerSharia claims jurisdiction over non-Muslims as well as Muslims. The great Pakistani Islamic theorist of the twentieth century, Sayyid Abul Ala Maududi, whose writings remain internationally influential among Muslims today, wrote that non-Muslims have “absolutely no right to seize the reins of power in any part of God’s earth, nor to direct the collective affairs of human beings according to their own misconceived doctrines.” If they do, “the believers would be under an obligation to do their utmost to dislodge them from political power and to make them live in subservience to the Islamic way of life.” In accord with this, there is no concept in the Qur’an, Islamic tradition, or Islamic law of non-Muslims living as equals with Muslims in an Islamic state: Muslims must be in a superior position.
