Barbarism vs. Civilization: The Final Conflict?

2006-02-05
By

It has begun to appear that wherever Muslims maintain large populations, a riot will break out and spread across the world; without the necessity of the proverbial “moment’s notice”. As I write this the world is being assaulted by reports and visuals of new Muslim “rebellions”, which are affecting renewed global violence; this time over unacceptable cartoons. In Lebanon and Syria, Danish embassies have already been torched over the Danish newspaper Jyllands-Posten’s publication of the Muhammaden cartoons in September.

Riots in Indonesia, Afghanistan, the Palestinian Gaza and multiple other countries are now occurring. Fox News is reporting that the Muslim violence is now spreading to attacks on Christians and Christian churches. For some reason, it took months for this information to get out to the general Muslim populations. It has become increasingly evident that they will take any and all opportunities to riot about anything and everything. By the way, when was the last time we saw Jews or Christians, who were offended by the daily assaults on their religions, burn down buildings over said offense; with many of these onslaughts (including vicious cartoons) regularly coming from Islam? Answer: It has never happened. In other words, Muslims believe they can “dish it out” but, “can’t take it”. Bullies and thugs inevitably act this way.

Granted the cartoons depicting the Muslim prophet Muhammad were and are in “bad taste”. But, there are many instances of bad taste, in every day life, and people on the planet who revel in presenting their puerile offerings. Also, as it is the Islamic world (do you still remember the USS Cole bombing, the 1993 WTC attack, the 9/11 2001 WTC destruction, the 11 March 2004 Madrid train bombings, the 7 July 2005 London underground bombings etc…etc?) that is assailing all of us.

In order to establish its dominion over the Earth, Islam will threaten, blow things up, burn, pillage and murder everyone who gets in its way—including its own people. It also relishes its presentations of murders of “non-combatants”. Did you see the video-beheadings of Nick Berg, Paul Johnson, Eugene Armstrong, Daniel Pearl and South Korean Kim Sun-il? Reluctantly, I watched one of them. I felt it incumbent upon me to actually have the courage to view at least one. But, I admit I had no way to prepare myself for my reaction. The revulsion and overwhelming sorrow that I experienced stayed with me for days. This is the image that Muslims have presented and continue to portray to the rest of the world—an image of barbaric and unrelenting violence and mayhem it uses to achieve its goals. However, the Muslim prophet Muhammad (from the Koran) tells them to do it, when he commands: “Therefore when ye meet the unbelievers’ in fight, smite them at their necks (047.004)” and “We would surely have punished those who disbelieved from among them with a painful punishment (048.25).”

Islamic Sheikh Abu Hamza Al-Masri writes in Allah’s Governance on Earth: “Allah is the only one that must be worshipped on Earth, and the only way to guarantee this is to control all the land masses, air and sea and give Islam the proper channel to be heard by the people.” Further, Sheikh Abdullah Azzam said: “Jihad and the rifle alone. No negotiations, No conferences and No dialogue!” The Holy Bible tells us: “Wherefore by their fruits ye shall know them.”—Matthew 7:20. The rotting fruits of these behaviors are now seen by everyone who is not yet blind.

I pose two questions that many have asked since the 9/11/2001 Twin Towers mass slaughter: “If there truly are moderate Muslims, where are they? If they aren’t in agreement with their militant and obsessed brethren, why aren’t they actively working to stop them?”

To top it off, Islamic Iran has now “officially” restarted its full-scale nuclear weapons programs and its President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad is reported to have gleefully said: “Our enemies can’t do a damned thing!” Forget about foolish and trivial “global warming” arguments. A madman with nuclear bombs can (and very possibly will try to) destroy the world. Evil delights only in its own purpose. And from all rational observations, it is bound and determined to force itself, by whatever means necessary, down our throats. If we don’t accept it—we die. Will the final conflict on this planet be barbaristic ideology vs. civilization? At this juncture, it appears that is precisely what will occur.

    With this most recent violence, Muslims are creating their own caricatures. They ARE true!

    They actually expect people to buy Islam as the “religion of peace”? Next to the Nazis, they’re the most brutal hordes the world has ever seen!

    The civilized world will continue to watch and tsk-tsk without action. It is the Nazi threat all over again. Using our own framework of international and local laws to persue a hate-filled dogma which leads to world domination. When legal avenues are not available the populace of these hate-mongers takes to the streets. They are just not as co-ordinated as the Nazi were, they can’t manage a ‘kristalnacht’. For if the could they would have.
    Or maybe the breaking of the Glass on the Twin Towers was it?

    The brutality and insanity of Muslims is self-evident. Now Europe is calling for suspension of free speech…but, onky if it “offends” Muslims.

    Will the US be next to do away with free speech, if Muslims are “offended” by something?

    I have been trying to bring together a list that describes all the positive and creative attributes that each social group defining a civilization has given to the whole of humanity. Even a single individual from the group would add “a point”.

    Presently, the extreme Muslim faction has removed the one point I initally gave as representing only their existance…….

    With foreign policy decisions in the U.S. being made by a hard line right wing administration supported by a resurgence in right wing extremism in reaction to the September 11 attacks, the situation in the Middle East really is shaping up to be like a Super Bowl match up. The team with the most vehement extremists wins.

    Nobody in the red states or Sher Zieve wonders what motivates people in the Middle East to act with such violence. For Sher Zieve and other hard line right wingers that answer is unimportant. She assumes that all Muslims are monomaniacal fanatics who have been consumed by evil and who have no motives aside from the desire to cause harm. She calls them barbarians and casts them as unhuman evil doers (objectification is an extremely important mechanism in neofascist rhetoric). And she is ready to hold them all responsible for their transgessions with righteous force. Her editorial presumes that Muslims are not like anybody else. She presumes that if Muslims did not feel threatened and had food, clothing, and shelter that they would still be rabidly seeking the demise of the non-Muslim world.

    The real answer to the problem of eventually stabilizing the Middle East is understanding why these people feel so desperate, why they feel so disenfranchised, why they are enraged, and why they feel hopeless. It is from those passions that the violence stems.

    There are no strong traditions of liberalism in the Middle East and no liberal elite to challenge the right wing status quo. And liberalism in the U.S. has been greatly weakened in the wake of September 11 by fear and lack of solid leadership.

    So, for now it seems we just have the burning convictions of the right. And the right has nothing if not conviction in its own beliefs. And you get bet its the same way over there.

    The world geopolitical stage is set up to be a face off between right wing hardliners. And Sher Zieve sounds like she is ready to lead the charge.

    This is typical leftwing mumbo jumbo. We need to find out why they feel this way. Muslims have been fighting Christains, Jews, Buddists, etc… since their butt pumping phophet came onto the scene in the 5th century. Name me another religion that celebrates beheadings and death like this Satanic cult does? There are 22 conflicts in the world today and they are all Muslims against their neighbors. They can’t coexist with others because they are ass backwards in everything they do. If there was ever world peace, it would have to be a world without Islam because they can’t live in harmony with anybody!

    Maybe we should send an army of psychiatrists to all the various Muslim war zones across the planet. They could sit with them, talk and “feel their pain” until the terrorists decided to behead the shrinks.

    Alright, so you’ve countered “typical left wing mumbo jumbo” with thoroughly typical hardline right wing rhetoric.

    If I took blood from you and blood from an Islamic extremist, the similarities between the two samples would far outweight the similarities. The genetic identity between the two would be more than 99%.

    The behavior of Homo sapiens is not a mystery. If I take you and a thousand people very much like you and I expose you to an environment in which you begin to believe that your values are threatened, what would you do? If you begin to feel that your Christian values were being devalued, that your ability to raise your children with Christian beliefs was under attack, and that your national and cultural identity was being assailed …

    … how many of the 1000 would sit quietly while a Bible was defiled in front of them or their flag was burned? Have Americans never been violent when they feel their values are threatened?

    Muslims who do not feel threatened and who have their basic needs for survival met would have no greater impetus for violence than any other group of Homo sapiens.

    People are more like each other than unlike each other. There is, in fact, a Christian mandate for the recognition of this fact (although it is easier to hate your foe if you do not have admit that he is also a child of God). But, burning as they are with the fires of their own righteous conviction, the right has no willingness to heed such a call.

    In the meantime, the future will surely be rife with posturing from the right on both sides.

    So…Muslims feel threatened by cartoons that were published in September of last year…so they riot, burn, pillage and have now killed.

    It sounds as if you want the rest of the world to bend to Muslim’s “sensitivity” about these cartoons. What about the degrading cartoons of Jesus and Jews? Neither Christians no Jews have rioted.

    So, now we are to have “special” rules for Muslims? Go kiss a flower or hug a tree. What you suggest is discrimination against all but, Muslims. Typical inane leftist comments.

    Its interesting Detroit Michigan and the surrounding suburbs have a very large Middle Eastern population probably the largest in America, no violent there. Is it possible violence only occurs where Muslims know it’ll be tolerated? So far the American [enablers] are in the minority, we’re talking about liberals of course. It’s unfair to assume all Muslims are violent. Many of those who’re protesting in other lands I’m assuming are doing so out of fear of reprisal by the terrorists. After all there’re no protests when Muslims terrorists kill Muslims civilians and that flies in the face of the qur’aan.

    I am the same person you are replying too in this posting… how many of the 1000 would sit quietly while a Bible was defiled in front of them or their flag was burned? Have Americans never been violent when they feel their values are threatened?

    you are a complete idiot! I don’t give a damn if you burn 100 bibles, I don’t care if you burn a flag. You people on the left think the world is a utopia and their is no such thing as evil. The fight with radiccal Islam has been going on since their death cult leader Muhammad declared himself the prophet back in the 5th century. Is is a fight that is long overdo and you people on the left remind me of Chamberlin’s stance against the Nazi’s in 1940. They are brainwashed(you liberal’s should know how that feels) and can’t be convinced otherwise. So when you want to talk about feeling their pain, I would rather have then feel my pain, and that is a bullet right in the middle of their forehead

    Liberals need to read the websites from the apostates of Islam so they can get an idea of what radical islam is all about. It’s not about politics – it’s about world domination through the sword. Liberalism is the cause – not the answer. Liberalism wants to appease – here take my land just please leave me alone! They’ll take more than that!. Take you’re behind over there and try to rationalize with these B**stards; I’m sure we’ll see you over there with your head getting chopped off as well. Islam is evil and liberals.. well they’re just ignorant.

    Muslim religious “leaders” are screaming for a war with the West. This is what was planned all along. The 5-6 months old cartoons were just the catylist. They WANT a world war, as they belive that they will be victorious and can forcibly impose Islam on the world…as a worldwide theocracy.

    The Libs, of course, will agree to anything; as long as they don’t have to fight.

    Everyone, even if you are not a Christian, needs to understand the Book of Revelations in the Bible. These Muslims follow the Anti-christ, the false prophet mohamed, and they are only trying to fulfill prophecy. This is supposed to happen, and if we continue to fight, by God’s hand righteousness will prevail. The West is the only hope for humanity and we will win, or we will take everyone out in a hail of nuclear arms!
