“Muslims are the vilest of animals…”
“Show mercy to one another, but be ruthless to
Muslims”
“How perverse are Muslims!”
“Strike off the heads of Muslims, as well as their
fingertips”
“Fight those Muslims who are near to you”
“Muslim mischief makers should be murdered or
crucified”
Hate speech? Incitement to
violence? Sounds like it to us, but a knowledgeable Muslim
would have to disagree.
Why would Muslims not consider this
to be hate speech? How is it that we can post these quotes
with full certainty that CAIR won't be contacting the media (or
Congress) with wild-eyed accusations of Islamophobia?
Well, for one thing,
we don’t actually agree with any of these disgusting statements, of course.
But the real reason is that Muslims themselves honestly believe
these quotes to be the literal,
eternal word of Allah. In fact, CAIR is promoting
this hate speech on their own website! It is
actively propagating
the very literature that contains these comments, even while
sanctimoniously claiming that it is working against hate and
violence.
But… isn't CAIR a
Muslim organization? What’s the catch?
Well, if you haven’t
guessed it already, these are quotes from the Qur’an in which we've
replaced the word ‘Christian’, ‘Jew’ or ‘unbeliever’ with the word
‘Muslim.’
Here is how they
actually appear in the literature that groups like CAIR are pushing:
Sura (8:55) -
Surely the vilest of animals in Allah's sight are those who
disbelieve
Sura (48:29)
- Muhammad is the messenger of Allah. And those with him are hard
(ruthless) against the disbelievers and merciful among themselves
Sura (9:30) -
And the Jews say: Ezra is the son of Allah, and the Christians
say: The Messiah is the son of Allah... Allah (Himself) fights
against them. How perverse are they!
Sura (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
Sura (9:123)
- O you who believe! Fight those of the unbelievers who are near
to you and let them find in you hardness
Sura (5:33) -
The punishment of those who wage war against Allah and His
messenger and strive to make mischief in the land is only this, that they should
be murdered or crucified or their hands and their feet should be cut off on
opposite sides or they should be imprisoned; this shall be as a disgrace for
them in this world, and in the hereafter they shall have a grievous chastisement
These verses come
from five different places in the Qur’an. There are dozens of
others scattered throughout that advocate violence in open-ended
fashion. There are hundreds more that speak of hatred and hell
toward Christians, Jews, and other non-believers. (Is it
any wonder that the Muslim world is split largely between those who
tacitly support Islamic terror and those who do nothing about it?)
Very few of these
verses are bound by historical context within the text of the
Qur’an, and any appeal to external sources for mitigation would
apply also to the tiny handful of verses that are used
(disingenuously) to promote Islam as being loving and tolerant.
More importantly, there is a far greater number of violent verses than ones of
tolerance, and most were “revealed” later, thus abrogating the
handful of earlier ones.
And yet, this is the
book that CAIR wants people to read! This is what CAIR
considers to be holy text, even to the extent that an exact replica
of the Qur’an (grammatical errors and all) is said to be on a table
in heaven guarded by angels.
So, the next time
you hear CAIR smugly accusing its critics of “hate speech,” just
remember what the organization's agenda really is:
They
don’t mind hate speech directed at non-Muslims. In fact,
they promote it.
They don't mind religious minorities being denied rights that
Muslims have in Muslims societies. In fact, they plug
fatwas and religious literature that encourage discrimination.
They don't even mind the vast amount of terrorism in the name
of Islam. In fact, they refuse to acknowledge and denounce
more than 99% of it, including the on-going genocide against
black Africans by Arabs.
The language of civil rights and
tolerance is merely a tool of convenience for prominent Muslim
organizations in the West to advance the cause of Islamic supremacy.
A true civil
rights organization, however, is concerned about rights for all
people, regardless of race or religion, and this is something that
Islam has never been able to produce... and probably never will...
At least according
to our Qur’an!
