Sharia Allows Muslims Rape in Pakistan
John R. Houk
© June 16, 2013
Kainat Soomro in 2007 was raped by her fellow co-religionist Muslims at the age of 13. Indeed she was raped by four Muslim men as she was returning home. I read in one place she was returning from school and in another she was returning with a gift for her niece. The salient point is that no matter where Kainat was walking home from, she was raped by four Muslims, two of which were a father and son team.
The community that Kainat lived in ordered that she be put to death because the family honor was defiled. The death sentence was to be carried out by a family member. Typically in Muslim honor killings such execution is handed out be the father or brother in the family but really any family member is eligible to avenge the family honor by killing a victim of rape rather than going to the criminals who raped her to at least use the rule of law to send them to prison and at worst exact revenge on the perpetrators.
Kainat’s tortured life is a snapshot to expect of a growing Muslim immigrant population in America. This is the case especially case among Muslims demanding the U.S. government to allow the practice of Sharia Law in America. Sharia Law contradicts American rule of law as embodied in the U.S. Constitution.
The reason Kainat Soomro is back in the news is that a documentary was made exposing the shame of Islam about honor killing. In this case the nation is Pakistan.

Girl Gang Raped in Pakistan: Dares to Fight for Justice
A new film follows the harrowing true ordeal of a Pakistani family who dared to fight for justice after their daughter was gang raped.
June 6, 2013
When a girl was gang raped by four men at the age of 13, her village in Pakistan identified her as a “black virgin” and ordered her killed.
In the rural village of Dadu in southern Pakistan, tradition held that Kainat Soomro’s own family should murder her, as her sexual assault had made her a token of disgrace. Four years later, Kainat is alive and a documentary about her story premiered on television in the United States last week. That does not mean that she or her family is safe.
The film, Outlawed in Pakistan, shows how Kainat Soomro is still “destined to be killed” because she took the extraordinary step in Pakistan of fighting for justice. The film is a testament to her family’s strength and endurance in a life which has only become more difficult the longer they have stood up against tradition.
The Soomros have faced isolation, fear and intimidation from the four men Kainat accused of raping her, and from the members of the small village who were afraid of challenging moral laws which have been in existence for centuries. By the mere fact of having made the accusation of rape, Kainat is an outlaw in her own country.
The film, which was first screened at the 2013 Sundance Film Festival, retells the story of the young girl’s attack while walking home from school down a narrow village street by a shop where Kainat says the owner, Shaban Saikh, and three other men — including a father and son — held her down and sexually assaulted her.
The village declared her “kari,” or a black virgin, and ordered her family to carry out an honor killing to end the shame a rape victim brings to a family, according to Pakistani culture.
The alleged rapists beat her father and one of her brothers. Her older brother went missing for three months and was later found murdered.
Kainat’s parents refused to kill their daughter and instead decided to take up her cause in a legal system which places the burden of proof on the victim.
VIDEO: Outlawed in Pakistan (trailer)
“They told me I am not a real man,” Kainat’s brother, Sabir told the film-makers, “because you failed to follow your tradition, you failed to kill your sister.”
Meanwhile, threats of death and further violence have forced the Soomros from the house they owned in Dadu to the city of Karachi, where all 18 family members now live in a two-bedroom apartment.
The men are unable to find work, so the women embroider fabrics to pay rent. They often have to resort to asking charities for food.
When Kainat attends court she undergoes a barrage of “nasty” questions, up to 300 at a time, including “what part of your clothing did you remove?” or “who raped you first.
The presiding judge is annoyed that Kainat has brought the charges and rules against her in part because she has accused a father and son of a gang rape. “In his view,” the film’s narrator says, “he said that would never happen in Pakistan” and describes Kainat’s accusations “as a product of her own fantasy.”
The men were acquitted of their crime, and, in an interview with the film makers, appear bewildered at why their accuser did not just stay at home “and keep quiet.” They see their acquittal as proof that Kainat “does not have good character. If she was a decent woman, she would have sat at home, silent.”
Even as Kainat and her family say they will fight on, perhaps for years, her lawyer suggests the future will be difficult.

About Frontline:
Since 1983, FRONTLINE has served as American public television’s flagship public affairs series. Hailed upon its debut on PBS as “the last best hope for broadcast documentaries,” FRONTLINE’s stature over 30 seasons is reaffirmed each week through incisive documentaries covering the scope and complexity of the human experience.
When FRONTLINE was born, however, the prospects for television news documentaries looked grim. Pressure was on network news departments to become profitable, and the spirit of outspoken journalistic inquiry established by programs like Edward R. Murrow’s See It Now and Harvest of Shame had given way to entertainment values and feature-filled magazine shows. Therefore, it fell to public television to pick up the torch of public affairs and carry on this well-established broadcast news tradition.
Since its inception, FRONTLINE has never shied away from tough, controversial issues or complex stories. In an age of anchor celebrities and snappy sound bites, FRONTLINE remains committed to providing a primetime venue for engaging reports that fully explore and illuminate the critical issues of our times.

Blasphemy
Justin Smith writes about events in Manchester TN in which a County Commissioner added uncomplimentary musing on Muslims on his Facebook page. Let’s hope those musings were designed for Muslims that follow the Quran and Hadith to a T. Then the American Muslim Advisory Council (AMAC) tried a community outreach to convince people in Manchester that Islam is peace full of multiculturalism junk something like, Can’t we all just get along? Not notifying the public that Islam is actually intolerant of non-Muslims in which the superior suras and hadiths (or ahadith) tell Muslims that if a non-Muslim refuses to convert, they either must live in humiliation, convert or die.
Here is a roughly one hour video of the Manchester event. You probably should read Justin’s essay “Blasphemy”.

Blasphemy

“I imagine myself following in Malcolm’s discovery… that some whites might live beside him as brothers in Islam.” -Obama, ‘Dreams From My Father (pg 86)
On June 4, 2013, approximately fifteen-hundred American patriots arrived in an inspiring and spectacular fashion at the Conference Center in Manchester, Tennessee. They came from as far away as Georgia, Texas and New York to defend the First Amendment, one of our most cherished rights, against Sharia law encroachment and manipulations and Department of Justice impediments and violations, as the Obama administration advances the plan to criminalize any criticism of Islam under the UN Resolution 16/18. Old and young alike, Armed Forces Veterans of several wars and community and spiritual leaders arrived, with a very few naively expressing support for the American Muslim Advisory Council’s (AMAC) position and most expecting a propaganda and indoctrination event; the latter were prescient in this matter.
The AMAC advertised this event, Public Disclosure in a Diverse Society, as communities learning about and achieving a better understanding of their American Muslim neighbors, which they organized due to a “distasteful” Facebook post made by Coffee County Commissioner Barry West regarding Muslims; however, early into the presentation, the condescension and arrogance of U.S. Attorney Bill Killian and other speakers made it quite apparent that any dialogue was going to be one-sided, and we were there to receive a lecture on Muslims as victims in the U.S. and excuses for criminalizing our free speech under the existing civil rights codes and 18 U.S.C. 249-Hate Crimes Act…no wonder the crowd became “combative”…No matter how despicable, bigoted or inappropriate one may view expressions such as West’s, they cannot legally or constitutionally be stopped or infringed upon, as the AMAC and Bill Killian attempted to suggest!
Zak Mohyuddin, the first AMAC speaker stated, “Nothing stays the same, everything changes. How do we effectively manage the change… how do we manage the past?” He seemingly indirectly intimated that Americans would have to consider changes to laws and even the U.S. Constitution, so as to avoid slandering Muslims and insulting Islam and Muslim sensibilities. But in the Islamic world, the definition of “slander” is anything that offends Muslims, even if it is a historical fact!
Christians in America and across the globe are used to the idea that their religion is open to criticism and ridicule. Most accept this as a price of living in a free society, and even those Christians deeply offended by such criticism aren’t going about en masse and killing over it, in the manner most Muslims do over every little perceived insult to Islam or Mohammed; while Muslims would be going crazy in the streets if Gordon Gee, president of Ohio State University, had jokingly addressed the Athletic Council with “You can’t trust those damn Muslims” rather than “You can’t trust those damn Catholics on a Thursday or Friday”, as he did recently, most Catholics would simply have a laugh over the silly remark.
Mohyuddin also alluded to “colonial injustices”, which made the audience groan in disbelief. America has bent over backwards in its efforts to help the Muslim community integrate and assimilate in one of the most tolerant nations in existence today. This comment illuminated the resentment many Muslims still have over Western domination of the post-colonial political structuring of the Middle East.
At one point during the propaganda film that was shown, ‘Welcome to Shelbyville’, a man identifying himself only as a Shelbyville pastor said, “We as God’s children..we need to get along with them (Muslims). Immediately, someone shouted, “Whatever happened to assimilation?”
Sabina Mohyuddin, born in Nashville and a Vandy graduate, delivered a sometimes rambling presentation in the face of numerous interruptions, which were largely provoked by her inaccurate version of American history and more Muslim victimology. Her narrative suggested that Muslims were working to strengthen America’s security, but we have already seen the AMAC align itself with CAIR and the Muslim Brotherhood and actively work against Tennessee’s anti-terrorism bill; history shows that Muslim’s use America’s fascination with “moderates” to strike us when we least expect it, just like Anwar al-Awlaki, one of the world’s most notorious islamofascists, and also Abdurahman Alamoudi, a top Al Qaeda financier, who was promoted by Grover Norquist and welcomed at both the Clinton and Bush White House before being caught and sentenced to 23 years in prison in 2004!
In the name of multiculturalism, tools such as U.S. Attorney Bill Killian and FBI Special Agent Kenneth Moore have relaxed security procedures and scrutiny of the Muslim community in tandem with Homeland Security, which occurred at the urging of the Islamic Society of North America and with the cooperation of John Brennan, Muslim convert and presidential advisor, in 2010. And, while Brennan gave assurances towards the protection of Muslim “civil rights”, he did not receive any reciprocal assurances of their commitment to opposing terrorism; both the Homeland Security and the Department of Justice have made their obeisance to Islam by cleansing their training materials of anything in their curriculum that gives offense to the various islamofascist Muslim organizations.
Kenneth Moore attempt to convince the crowd to ignore their own lying eyes and ears as he stated: “People think we want to step on and stifle their First Amendment rights. Nothing could be further from the truth.” One certainly must question Moore’s truthfulness, especially in light of Hillary Clinton’s collaborative work with Organization for Islamic Cooperation (OIC) regarding the implementation of UN Resolution 16/18 under the guise of civil rights laws.
Although touted as a resolution to combat “intolerance”, Resolution 16/18 advances Islamic intolerance. Should one accurately state that Mohammed was a hashish addict and a pedophile, under 16/18′s “incitement to imminent violence” clause as a “test of consequences”, one could be criminally prosecuted if their statement caused Muslims to lose their self-restraint and riot. Such a prior restraint on free speech would be chilling; the “test of consequences” corrupts a free society by clearing a path for any administration to create a “consequence”, a phony scenario, that could justify a change in America’s free speech rights, just as Obama attempted with the anti-Islamic video and the 9/11 attack at Benghazi!
Who will decide what is inflammatory? …What Muslim scholar or Muslim jurist is going to set the guidelines for our nation that determine what constitutes “blasphemy”?… How can any of this even pass Constitutional muster?
America has survived wars upon wars, numerous sneak attacks, communist infiltration, presidential assassinations and social upheaval over injustice in race relations, but many Americans have turned a blind-eye towards Islam, the very peril that has infiltrated the highest levels of our government as it seeks our destruction. A significant portion of U.S. citizens are currently disavowing the ideology of our American Heritage, as they substitute the rights of individuals with the rights of groups that are identified by race, ethnicity, sex and sexual preference; so, Special Agent Moore’s observation, “What has always seen us through difficult times has been our unity as Americans”, serves as a reminder in the search for solutions that we must rediscover our creed of ‘E Pluribus Unum’: We must reject multiculturalism and the calls to identify the United States with the Middle East, and we must reassert that we are a Western people…part of the Western Civilization’s family.
Blasphemy laws are pure Sharia doctrine, and they are antithetical to the U.S. Constitution and have no place in America. Any de facto blasphemy restrictions in the U.S. threatens free speech and the free exchange of ideas; islamofascists would be enabled by any such restrictions to crush debate in these United States, in the same manner they do throughout the Islamic world. Blasphemy laws narrow the bounds of acceptable discourse in all spheres of life from religion to literature and science to culture in general. Rather than criminalize free speech and general criticisms and debate, which only aids the islamofascists in their attempts to impose a spiritually void and harsh ideology upon all the world, this administration should end any discussion of speech with the OIC and the UN. Our government should reaffirm and declare that in a free society, all views and religions are subject to criticism and contradiction, and they should firmly defend freedom of expression: If any administration fails in this duty and their oath to uphold the U.S. Constitution, the American Patriots residing in Tennessee will not!

Islam is Political
Islam is Political
Ask Rebecca Bynum
John R. Houk
© June 9, 2013
Rebecca Bynum has written a book entitled “Allah is Dead: Why Islam is Not a Religion”. Bynum is also the editor of the New English Review (NER). The NER has a review of Bynum’s book, but guess what? The NER is a victim of a cyber-attack. I have no doubts the cyber-attack was perpetrated by Muslims that are disenchanted with Free Speech that exposes the political nature of Islam. I believe that is the essential theme of “Allah is Dead”. Which is to say Islam has the trappings of a religion but is practiced with political ideological fervor to achieve political results in laws and culture.
I am unsure if there is any legal protection for the NER because I am unsure how enforceable Obama has made U.N. Resolution 16/18 in America in which the First Amendment should trump U.N. international law. If Obama enforces UN Res. 16/18 unconstitutionally then Rebecca Bynum could potentially be charged with hate-speech crimes for – cough – defaming Islam with a title like “Allah is Dead”.
So Bynum could potentially criminal charges under international law even though the hate-crime was perpetrated against Bynum and NER with a cyber-attack.
Here is an excerpt from the Gates of Vienna on the cyber-attack against NER:
New English Review Taken Down by DDOS
[6/5/13]
As most readers already know, the New English Review was brought down by a Directed Denial of Service attack (DDOS) during the night. The attack may or may not have been connected with the AFDI rally against sharia, which featured New English Review writers among its speakers.
Rebecca Bynum, the editor of NER, just sent us this brief note:
For those of you who don’t know yet, after I gave my short speech in Manchester TN last night, New English Review was cyber-attacked and remains down. The attack took out the entire network of sites hosted by ICG Link. They are now moving us to our own private server and will try to get us back up and running as soon as possible. Here is Jerry Gordon’s write-up of the event and my remarks at the AFDI protest on WatchDog Wire, which was very heartening.
Some excerpts from the story at WatchDog Wire:
Our NER colleague Rebecca Bynum drove down yesterday evening from Nashville to speak at an AFDI protest rally with Robert Spencer and Pamela Geller outside the Manchester — Coffee County Conference Center. The protest rally was scheduled for 5:30 p.m. When she arrived at 5:00 p.m. 150 people were already present, some with posters that read, “Just say no! to Islam” and even a booth selling “Sharia for Non —Muslims”. By the time the program started at 6:30 p.m., the hall was filled to overflowing with an estimated 800 inside according to the local Police Chief. So the Fire Marshall ordered the hall closed.
[…]
While the audience was disruptive, Bynum told me they were prepared and knowledgeable about Islamic doctrine. One source told of military that came down from Fort Campbell, Kentucky especially to attend this event. Members of the contingent commented to one audience member, “We fought this in the sandbox against Sharia, and we came home to find that it is happening here and now.” Many in the audience were veterans and of a similar cast of mind.
US Attorney Killian and FBI Special Agent Moore told the audience that if you defame Islam and engage in hate speech towards Muslims that you will be prosecuted to the fullest. Killian gave a power point presentation on what constituted hate speech under US law. He read off a list of White Supremacist and extremist groups probably provided by the Southern Poverty Law Center as exemplars of who the government was on the lookout for. FBI Special Agent Moore told the audience they were endeavoring to protect Muslim children from hate. At one point he noted that after 9/11 the FBI even hired Muslims as translators to which someone in the audience cried out, “yeah, but you didn’t hire Jews!” Ms. Sabina Mohyuddin, the AMACTN organizer of this event actually told the booing crowd to “shut up and listen to me!” One audience member commented in an email “that was like throwing oil on the fire”.
[…]
Daring to enforce OIC blasphemy codes under the guise of prosecuting hate speech. Make no bones about it. The heartland of America was outraged last night in Manchester, Tennessee.
Watch this Nashville Channel 4 WSMV TV video of the protest at the AMACTN event in Manchester, TN.
As you can see from the above report, the FBI and the Department of Justice are already attempting to implement the sharia blasphemy laws laid out by OIC Secretary-General Ekmeleddin Ihsanoglu, as discussed in an earlier post.
The federal fox is not only guarding the American henhouse: he is heating up … Read the Rest – very good info!
The New English Review is an awesome expose Islam website. I pray the powers that be get it up running again soon. In the meantime here is a 2011 review of “Allah is Dead”. Here is more about a rally in Manchester TN exposing Stealth Jihad in which you can read the text of Rebecca Bynum’s speech. Below is a cross post from a Tea Party Nation social site posted by Jack E. Kemp in which selected excerpts from Rebecca Bynum are posted.

Rebecca Bynum says Islam is not a religion but a hybrid
Posted by Jack E. Kemp

Jack E. Kemp
I just began reading Rebecca Bynum’s book “Allah is Dead: Why Islam is not a religion.” I urge you all to read the book, along with myself. The Introduction alone is a brilliant argument worthy of a great article, where it states:
BEGIN QUOTE
…In this book, I take a highly focused look at Islam and whether or not it should rightly be classified or described as a religion, let alone an “Abrahamic religion” or one of the “world’s great religions” as it has been presented.
There is no question, of course, that Muslims themselves believe Islam is a religion. And there is equally no question that Islam harnesses the religious impulse. But it can be argued that communism and Nazism likewise harnessed the religious impulse and that millions of people believed in those ideologies with full religious fervor and devotion. The fact of faith alone does not confer the status of religion on an ideology.
Furthermore, when Islam is analyzed philosophically it reveals itself to be closer to ideologies such as material determinism, nihilism, and even social Darwinism than it is to either Christianity or Judaism…
…The Constitution protects freedom of religion within certain bounds, but to date there had been no Constitutional definition of what actually constitutes a religion in a Judeo-Christian context and America has limited religious practices in the past.
An important precedent was set when Utah was threatened with invasion and federal occupation unless the Mormons living there changed their religious practice of polygamy. Because the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints had a living prophet who could alter the religious tenets of the Church, essentially assigning polygamy to the afterlife, this change was made possible and Utah entered the Union after polygamy was officially banned in the territory. The Mormon Church now has protection under the religious liberty clause, but it did not while the church sanctioned and its members practiced polygamy…
…Polygamy is not marriage and should never be allowed protection under the idea of freedom of religion. There is little chance, however, that Islam will be changed to allow it to fit in with normal Western customs the way Mormonism was changed. A brochure distributed by the Islamic Center of Murfreesboro, Tennessee, extols the supremacy of polygamy throughout, offering it as a superior lifestyle choice, but nowhere does it even mention that polygamy is illegal in America. It openly advocates breaking the law…
Thee (sic) is, however, a current of modern thought seeking to elevate a laudable personal virtue, that of tolerance, over the greater principle of justice. Is it just to tolerate polygamy in the name of religious freedom? The Supreme Court unanimously ruled in 1878, Reynolds v. United States, it is not. Is it just to tolerate the unequal right to inheritance for women? Is it just to tolerate forced marriage? Is it just to tolerate antisemitism? Is it just to tolerate the preaching of hatred toward non-Muslims? Is it just to tolerate the teaching that Muslims are superior to non-Muslims and that men are superior to women? Is it just to tolerate a parallel legal system based on inequality? There are things that our society cannot tolerate and expect to survive. Justice must take its rightful place above tolerance.

The Documentary “The Third Jihad” has been free for some time. Social Network friend Robert Fleming shared the link to the video. In these times that a corrupt President and his corrupt Administration is using political tools to attack those with a different political outlook for America, it will be good to refresh your memory that Islam is at war with America. This war is the case even though President Barack Hussein Obama has publicly ended the Global War on Terror (GWOT) on the American government’s perspective.

Islam is a Religious Hate-Crime Entity
John R. Houk

A friend of mine from the closed Facebook group Crusade Against Mohamed posted a highlight to an essay by Jake Neuman entitled, “Islam is Hate-Crime Par Excellence”. Preceding the link to Neuman essay my friend excerpts some expose Islam information from “APPENDIX OF TEACHINGS FROM KORAN AND HADITHS: 691 TEACHINGS OF IMMORAL DEPRAVITY”. You will be disgusted after reading the quotes from the Quran and Hadith:
…
Only those Jews and Christians who convert to Islam will be rewarded with heaven. 2:62
Allah turned the Sabbath-breaking Jews into apes. 2:66
…
“Fight in the way of Allah.” 2:190, 2:244
Believers must retaliate. Those who transgress will have a painful doom. 2:178
Kill disbelievers wherever you find them. If they attack you, then kill them. Such is the reward of disbelievers. (But if they desist in their unbelief, then don’t kill them.) 2:191-2
…
Jews and Christians believe in idols and false deities, yet they claim to be more rightly guided than Muslims. 4:51
Those (Christians and Jews) are they whom Allah hath cursed. 4:52
…
Allah has cursed the Jews and hardened their hearts. Nearly all of them are treacherous. 5:12-13
Christians are disbelievers for believing in the divinity of Christ. 5:17
…
Life for life, eye for eye, nose for nose, ear for ear, and tooth for tooth. Non-muslims are wrong doers. 5:45
Jews and Christians are losers. 5:53
Don’t choose Jews, Christians, or disbelievers as guardians. 5:57
Evil is the handiwork of the rabbis and priests. 5:63
Allah has cast enmity and hatred among the Jews. 5:64
Allah does not guide disbelievers. 5:67
The Jews rejected and killed Allah’s prophets, since “they were wilfully blind and deaf.” 5:70-71
Christians are wrong about the Trinity. For that they will have a painful doom. 5:73
Muslims that make friends with disbelievers will face a doom prepared for them by Allah. 5:80
…
How many a township have We destroyed! As a raid by night, or while they slept at noon, Our terror came unto them. 7:4-5
…
Allah will punish the disbelieving Jews until the Day of Resurrection. 7:167
Those who deny Muhammad’s revelations are like dogs. 7:176
Those who deny Muhammad’s revelation are evil. 7:177
…
Give tidings (O Muhammad) of a painful doom to those who disbelieve. 9:3
Those who submit and convert to Islam will be treated well. (Those who don’t submit will be killed. See previous verse.) 9:6
…
Allah gave Muhammad the one true religion and sent him to conquer all other (false) religions. 61:9
…
A hypocritical Jew looks like an ass carrying books. Those who deny the revelations of Allah are ugly. 62:5
…
Notice the Hate-Speech and the call for violence specifically against Jews and Christians but also directed toward ALL non-Muslims!
The Neuman essay – Islam is Hate-Crime Par Excellence – focuses on this Hate-Speech that promotes Hate-Crimes AGAINST non-Muslims with a special eye for Jews and Christians.
Just as a side issue for a moment, toward the end of the Neuman essay is a source link of great importance:
http://www.islamreform.net/new-page-210.htm
This link will take you e-books in pdf format that are written by Jake Neuman. Check out those books to further educate yourself on Islam. The downloads appear dated as May 5, 2013 and are offered as FREE.
The first download appears awesome! I have only skimmed through it so far but I have downloaded for my reading queue. This is a must read book available FREE in pdf format: “Muhammad: Monster of History”.
http://www.islamreform.net/user/image/prophetmuhammadamonsterofhistory.pdf
The book is lengthy – 600 pages. Nonetheless, the book addresses issues ripped from today’s headlines with an expose Islam theme. By exposing Islam I mean the author takes in detail the Quran to show how Muslims that are labeled followers of Radical Islamic ideology. The word “Radical” implies Radical Muslims are following a different Islam than Moderate Islam. The reality is the same revered works are notable as holy to all Muslims of Radical and Moderate natures: Quran, Hadith and Sira (which includes the Sunna). The Quran is considered the holiest of the three revered collections as the very words of Allah as delivered by the perfect man they call Prophet Muhammad (or Mohammed or whatever English derivation of the Arabic name). Take the time to read to see just how perfect Muhammad is.
In the mean time here is a cross post of Jake Neuman’s essay Islam is Hate-Crime Par Excellence.

Islam is Hate-Crime Par Excellence
By Jake Neuman
19 May 2013 11:09
Recently, the Canadian Supreme Court ruled that the Biblical Speech Opposing Homosexual Behavior is a ‘Hate Crime’.
Hate is demeaning to human dignity – for both the hater and the hated. Yet, abhorrent as it is, hate speech is not necessarily a criminal act. Hate speech that calls for violence, murdering, terrorizing, enslaving or torturing of any individual or groups is criminal.
While the Canadian Supreme Court may be right in calling the Bible’s condemnation of homosexuals as hate-crime, Islam is a cesspool of literally thousands of teachings, contained in the Quran and Sunna of Prophet Muhammad, which also amount to hate-crimes. Just as Hitler laid the moral and intellectual foundation for the extermination of Jews in Mein Kampf, Islam creates the moral, intellectual and religious justification for the hate-crimes for extermination, murder, torture, terrorization, looting, pillaging, rape, and enslavement of kafirs, apostates, homosexuals, and kafir women and children.
MUSLIM PRAYER IS HATE-CRIME
What do Muslims pray 5 times a day? Nothing but bigotry and hatred of the Christians and Jews!
In their daily prayers, Muslims have to repeat the following from the Quran multiple times (Surah 1, Fatihah): “Guide us to the straight path, the path of those whom You have favored, Not of those who have incurred your wrath, nor of those who have gone astray.”
Here, Muslims are claimed to be God’s favored, while others (Jews, Christians) are on a wrong path (gone astray). Such utterance is racist, bigoted and hateful. When the same is uttered as part of sacred prayers to God, it becomes even more potent hate, deserving censure. And the Muslim Friday Prayer is even more hateful and racist, because Muslims will also have to recite Surah 62 (The Friday Congregation) and Surah 63 (The Hypocrites). Surah 62 specifically condemns Gentiles as being “in gross error”, while the Jews are compared to “a donkey laden with books”:
Surah 62.5 “The similitude of those who were charged with the (obligations of the) Mosaic Law, but who subsequently failed in those (obligations), is that of a donkey which carries huge tomes (but understands them not). Evil is the similitude of people who falsify the Signs of God: and God guides not people who do wrong.“
Surah 63 condemns the “hypocrites”, namely the Muslims without firm belief in Islam (such as moderate, liberal Muslims), as: “They are the enemy. Guard yourself against them.”
Comparing a people to “donkey” is certainly extremely hateful and racist. So, Muslim prayers symbolize nothing but an act of hate speech, bigotry and racism, deserving censure in civilized societies.
ANTI-JEWISH HATRED IN THE QURAN AND HADITH
The Jew-hating verses that Muslims recite in their prayers are only a tip of the iceberg in terms of the sheer amount of hatred and racism embedded in Islam’s sacred scriptures, which is directed not only at the Jews but also Christians and other non-Muslims. Jews are not only compared to “donkeys” but also to “apes and swines”.
The Quran, Hadith and Sunnah devote 9.3% of its content to spreading hatred, violence and genocide of the Jews, compared to Hitler’s proverbial Mein Kampf devoting only 7%. The Medina part of the Quran is worse in inciting hatred and violence against the Jews than Mein Kampf. Here is a small sample of Allah’s divine sanction to hatred of the Jews (For more, see http://www.islamreform.net/new-page-16.htm):
1. “Wretchedness and baseness were stamped on the Jews and they were visited with wrath from Allah.” [Quran 2.61]
2. “Jews are the greediest of all humankind. They’d like to live 4,000 years. But they are going to hell.” [Quran 2:96]
3. “For the wrongdoing Jews, Allah has prepared a painful doom.” [Quran 4:160]
4. And you know well the story of those among you who broke Sabbath. We said to them: ‘Be apes—despised and hated by all.’ Thus We made their end a warning to the people of their time and succeeding generation, and an admonition for God—fearing people. [Quran 2:65]
5. “God has cursed the Jews, transforming them into apes and swine and those who serve the devil.” [Quran 5.60]
6. But when even after this they disdainfully persisted in that from which they were forbidden, We said to them, ‘Become apes—despised and disgraced!’ (Q 7:166]
Christians are also hated by Islamic God, Who demands their subjugation or murder. For example,
“Fight those who do not believe in Allah, nor in the latter day, nor do they prohibit what Allah and His Apostle have prohibited, nor follow the religion of truth, out of those who have been given the Book, until they pay the tax in acknowledgment of superiority and they are in a state of subjection.” (Quran 9:29)
Quran 9:29 is pure incitement to violence and therefore a hate crime. The Quran has given the Christians and Jews, the so-called ‘People of the Book’ of Islam, the choice to submit to the superiority of Islam and pay the Jiza tax or be attacked, mass-murdered and enslaved.
But Islam’s incitement of hatred and violence against the polytheists/idolaters (Hindus, Buddhists etc.) is even worse than that of Christians and Jews, vaulted the “People of the Book”. They must convert to Islam or die. For example:
“Then, when the sacred months have passed, slay the idolaters wherever ye find them, and take them (captive), and besiege them, and prepare for them each ambush. But if they repent and establish worship and pay the poor-due, then leave their way free. Lo! Allah is Forgiving, Merciful.” [Quran 9:5]
Islam calls for attack, enslavement, murder and even genocide of the non-Muslims in an open-ended manner until all peoples of the world become Muslim. Nothing can be greater hate, and incitement to violence, than such divine teachings. These teachings are the most extreme of hate-crimes. The Quran is nothing more than a terrorist manual filled with exhortations to violence against kafirs (2:190-193, 4:89, 9:123, 47:4, etc.). There are 22 Categories of Islam-sanctioned murders. (For more hate-crime verses calling for murder of kafirs, go to http://www.islamreform.net/new-page-132.htm. For 691 Quranic verses of hate against non-Muslims, go to http://www.islamreform.net/new-page-23.htm)
o Quran-8:17—“It is not ye who Slew them; it is God; when thou threwest a handful of dust, it was not Thy act, but God’s…..” (Allah said, the killing of surrendered soldiers were done by the wish of Allah)
o Quran-8:67—“It is not for any prophet to have captives until he hath made slaughter in the land. Ye desire the lure of this world and Allah desireth (for you) the Hereafter, and Allah is Mighty, Wise.” (Allah insisting Prophet to kill all the prisoners, and should not keep any surrendered prisoners alive until He (Prophet) occupied entire Arabia.
o Bukhari V4B52N177: “Allah’s Apostle said, ‘The Hour will not be established until you fight with the Jews, and the stone behind which a Jew will be hiding will say. “O Muslim! There is a Jew hiding behind me, so kill him.”‘
These passages from sacred Islamic texts are clear example of Islam being the hate-crime par excellence. Islamic God calls upon Muslims to “Make slaughter in the land” upon non-Muslims, a clear divine command for committing genocide.
Quran 8:41: “And know that out of all the booty that ye may acquire (in war), a fifth share is assigned to Allah and to the Messenger…”
For God to order the capturing of booty from conquered kafirs with 20% of it going to God and His Prophet, makes that God nothing more than the “mafia chieftain” of the universe, inciting utmost hate-crime against innocent non-Muslims. (For hundreds of more hate-crime teachings of Islam, see http://www.islamreform.net/new-page-193.htm)
Jihad: The Ultimate Incitement of Hatred and Violence
Jihad is the central Islamic doctrine of unconditional war, the Islamic holy war, against non-Muslims, which must continue until all non-Muslims of the world embrace Islam, or are enslaved or annihilated. Quranic texts, exhorting to Jihad, occupies 9% of all verses, while 24% of those revealed in Medina. Jihad-related content takes up 21% of the Bukhari material and the Sira devotes 67% of its text to jihad (For more, see http://www.islamreform.net/new-page-121.htm)
Exhorting Islamic holy war or Jihad for forced conversion, enslavement or annihilation of people—just because they follow Christian, Jewish, Polytheistic or other religions than Islam—is the worst kind of incitement of hatred and violence. Islamic teachings of Jihad make Islamic God Allah an accomplice to murder, war, death and destruction, a worst criminal imaginable.
ISLAMIC HATE CRIME AGAINST HOMOSEXUALS
The Canadian Supreme Court that ruled the Bible’s condemnation of homosexuals as hate-crime may also take note of the much-worse Islamic hate-crime against homosexuals that includes incitement to killing them, burning alive or throwing under collapsing walls:
o ‘If you find anyone doing as Lot’s people did, kill the one who does it, and the one to whom it is done’ (Abu Dawud, 4447).
o Ibn Abbas and Abu Huraira reported God’s messenger as saying, ‘Accursed is he who does what Lot’s people did.’ In a version… on the authority of Ibn Abbas it says that Ali [Muhammad's cousin and son—in—law] had two people burned and that Abu Bakr [Muhammad's chief companion] had a wall thrown down on them. (Mishkat, vol. 1, p. 765, Prescribed Punishments)
QURANIC VERSE 9.111 – THE MOST EVIL INCITEMENT OF HATE-CRIME
“Allah hath purchased of the believers their persons and their goods; for theirs (in return) is the garden (of Paradise): they fight in His cause, and slay and are slain…” (9:111)
Verse 9:111 is clear incitement of Jihad suicide that we see around the world today. Muslims’ life is owned by Allah, and their only job is fight in Allah’s cause (establishing Islam) and will kill or be killed in the process. There can be no worse incitement to hatred and violence than this. Allah is the peerless master of incitement of violence and bloodbath. What is even is worse, if a Muslim die while trying to kill the infidels, he/she becomes a martyr with guaranteed accession of the whorish virgins-filled Islamic paradise (see Quran 44:51-54, 78:31-33, 37:40-48, 44:51-55, 52:17-20, 55:56-58, 70-77, 56:7-40, 78:31), the ultimate salvation for a Muslim. And given the extreme potency of this Jihadi incitement, Islamic Jihadis have slaughtered an estimated 270,000,000 kafirs over the last 1,400. Muslim Jihadists did the same on 9/11 slaughtering nearly 3000 people. They did the same in the London subway/bus massacres. They did the same in the Mumbai slaughter, and many more.
ISLAMIC HATE-CRIME AGAINST WOMEN
Modern civilized societies deem women as equal to men in terms of rights and dignity. Reducing women to a vile, psychologically impaired and inferior being to men is a crime against women’s natural place in society. And that’s what Islamic theology exactly does. In Islam, women are inferior to men, have lower intelligence and inheritance rights, are compared to dogs and donkeys, to be subjugated to polygamy with no right to divorce their husbands, can be unconditionally beaten by husbands (4:34), and are compared to fields to be ploughed by men any time and any way they want (2:22). There are some 151 verses in the Quran dealing with women and 102 or 67% of those are demeaning to them. While in the Hadiths, 93% of the texts dealing with women are demeaning to them.
ISLAMIC CRIME OF RAPE JIHAD
4.24: “And all married women (are forbidden unto you) save those (captives) whom your right hands possess. It is a decree of Allah for you. Lawful unto you are all beyond those mentioned, so that ye seek them with your wealth in honest wedlock, not debauchery. And those of whom ye seek content (by marrying them), give unto them their portions as a duty. And there is no sin for you in what ye do by mutual agreement after the duty (hath been done). Lo! Allah is ever Knower, Wise.”
So, Muslims can capture infidel women and unconditionally rape them as their God-given religious right. And quite naturally rape Jihad is epidemic throughout Europe. There are an incredible 5,000 gang rapes by Muslims each year across France. In Norway, 9 out of 10 rapes are done by mostly Muslim men. Sweden has the highest per capita rape jihad with 5,000 rapes yearly.
The list of Islamic hate-crimes can go on and on, including against apostate of Islam, racist hatred against Black people, slavery, subjugated of Christians and Jews into dhimmi subjects and much more.
(Ishaq, p. 243):
“I heard the Apostle say: ‘Whoever wants to see Satan should look at Nabtal!’ He was a black man with long flowing hair, inflamed eyes, and dark ruddy cheeks… Allah sent down concerning him: ‘To those who annoy the Prophet there is a painful doom.” [9:61] “Gabriel came to Muhammad and said, ‘If a black man comes to you his heart is more gross than a donkey’s.”
Some 120 million blacks perished in the Islamic slavery holocaust. 75% of blacks died on the way to market and those black men who survived were castrated “based on the assumption that the blacks had an ungovernable sexual appetite. (for more on racism and slavery of Islam, see http://www.islamreform.net/new-page-30.htm)
In sum, Islamic sacred texts are filled with exhortations to hatred, racism, gender apartheid, human rights violation, and even worst violence and genocide which are all horrendous hate-crimes.
Islam – Thy name is hate-crime par excellence. The Canadian Supreme Court better takes note.

Islam is Hate-Crime Par Excellence
About Islam Watch
We are a group of Muslim apostates, who have left Islam out of our own conviction when we discovered that Islam is not a religion at all. Most of us took a prolonged period of time to study, evaluate and contemplate on Islam, the religion of our birth. Having meticulously scrutinized Islam, we concluded that it is not a religion of peace at all, as touted by smooth-talking, self-serving Muslims and their apologists from non-Muslim backgrounds. The core of Islam—namely the Qur’an, Hadis and Sharia—is filled with unbounded hatred of the unbelievers, unbelievably intolerant toward them, and extremely cruel and merciless to those Muslims, who dare to deviate from its doctrines.
We also realized that Islam is beyond reformation, because Muslims—who attempt to modernize and reform its unremitting bigotry, irrational rituals, and cruel and draconian punitive measures—are targeted for annihilation. Our verdict was that the only way to escape from the tyranny of Islam is to leave it altogether. We have, therefore, discarded Islam from our life, so that we can be free to enjoy a normal, pleasant and humane life in complete harmony with all peoples on earth, irrespective of their religion, race or creed.
Having thoroughly understood—through our meticulous investigation of Islam for years to decades—that Islam was nothing but a lie, most of us have left Islam silently, because of the mortal threats of Islam on our life. As Islamic terrorism and violence overwhelms the world, particularly in the post-9/11 years, we … Read the Rest
Intro – Top Norwegian Prof: Critics of Mass Immigration Mentally Ill

Fjordman writes an essay entitled “Top Norwegian Prof: Critics of Mass Immigration Mentally Ill”. If you are an American I urge you to read this essay! The essay is about Free Speech in Norway and how the Left utilizes Hate-Speech laws to shut up Conservatives and those against the mass immigration of culturally different people to Norway. The culturally different people are not non-Nordic people of Europe or of the Oriental Asian persuasion. The immigration of people with a totally divergent culture to Norway is Sharia-Minded Muslims that are literally taking over broad swaths of Norwegian communities. This is significant because of the rise of crime perpetrated by Muslims against the Norwegians. Blond Norwegian gals are so concerned of the rape epidemic perpetrated by Muslims against non-Muslims that they are dying their hair to a dark brunette.
Why should Americans be concerned of how Islam affects Norwegian culture or how Norway’s Left propagandizes multiculturalism so much that they try to throw anti-multiculturalists and Counterjihadists in jail to repress threats to reversing the acceptance of multiculturalism?
The reason is Norway’s limitation on Liberty and Free Speech is a snapshot of America’s potential future. With Obama now being exposed as running a politically corrupt Administration that actually uses government agencies (Like the IRS, Justice Dept. or Agenda 21) to repress American Conservatives it is quite apparent the Norwegian snapshot looms near if we do not undo Obama’s “Change”.

Sharia Rape Rules Reason to NOT Respect Islam
John R. Houk

Alicia Gali is an Australian citizen that found a job in Dubai of the United Arab Emirates (UAE). No big deal except for one thing. After working there for a few months some fellow employees set up a situation in which she had to go to the hotel bar to await maintenance. While in the bar Alicia was slipped a date-rape drug of some sort. She awoke the next day naked and bruised from being raped. Here’s where it gets screwy!
The UAE threw Alicia Gali in jail for illicit sex outside of marriage rather than prosecute the dudes that raped her. Alicia was in the slammer for EIGHT months and she was the victim.
UAE is an Islamic nation in which the rule of law is based on Sharia Law. Under Sharia a rape victim needs the testimony of FOUR male witnesses of the sex-crime. Absent the witnesses the rape victim is guilty of fornication and thus must be punished as a criminal. In many Muslim nations this crime of rape victim turned fornicator is death. In Alicia case she was released early from prison because of some celebration of the Dubai Sheik’s son or something.
This is a classic reason that Islam should not be allowed to be respected in the USA as pertaining the violent religion’s demand for Sharia Law. Europe has experienced an epidemic of Muslims raping European gals because they are not Muslim and dress scantily under the customs of hijab mandated Muslim gals. If Sharia teaches it takes four male witnesses to confirm a rape then that makes Western society gals a target for a sex-crime without the perpetrator having any conscience of wrong doing. Islam is peace? Don’t you believe it!
I discovered this outrage on the blog Sharia Unveiled and you should read the details there. Below are Part one and two to an Australian news report on Alicia Gali’s plight that received zero justice.

To all of you people that think Islam is a healthy thing that respects women rights, I like you to tell that to this woman. Islam is NOT a race, NOT an ethnic group, NOT a country, and most definitely NOT peace loving, so criticism of it is NOT racism. This phenomenon is a brutal, savage, and merciless religion that promotes the killing and oppression of anyone that isn’t Islamist (as per the Qu’ran) and views women as inferior things that are no more than mere possessions of their males’ superiors and therefore if a woman is raped it’s definitely her fault. Sounds f***d up? That’s because it is f***d up, and like ALL religions its ultimate goal is to rule the whole damn world in a state of absolute religious oppression. Time to wake up people – Religion is the ultimate enemy of mankind and no religion has made as much progress in destroying the free world as Islam ha.s. This story comes from Dubai, the pretty sky scrapper boasting Dubai that has been sold to the west as a beacon of civilization, yet Dubai’s key underlying reality is Islam!
*** SlantRight Editor: Although I agree with the author that Islam is the worst of all religions, I do not concur that “all” religions have the goal to dominate the world. For example Christian rulers from the days of Constantine the Great onward may have used the sword to attempt to dominate the world; however unlike Islam, Christian Scriptures tell adherents to peacefully go throughout the whole world to preach the Good News that Jesus Christ the Son of God has come to deliver people from sin and unbelief in God and this deliverance has happened with the Christ’s Resurrection from the dead to sit at the right hand of Father God always interceding for Believers. Those who reject this Good News are subject to their own fate at the Last Judgment. The ONLY Biblical insinuation of violence is at Christ’s Second Coming with Heaven’s Holy armies to confront unbelieving hoards unwittingly willing to fight the Creator of all that exists.
Please take note that as editor I have taken the liberty to edit the Youtube author’s message. To read the author’s message in all its pristine glory you have to go to the original Youtube Link.
From the Qu’ran:
–” the (only) religion (acceptable) before God is Islam.” (3:19)
– ” If anyone desires a religion other than Islam, never will it be accepted of him.” (3: 85)
– “You are the noblest community ever raised up for mankind.” (3:110)
– The unbelievers among the people of the book and the pagans shall burn forever in the fire of Hell. They are the vilest of all creatures. (98.6).
– Surely the vilest of animals in Allah’s sight are those who disbelieve. (8.55)
–The unbelievers are your inveterate enemy. (4:101)
– Mohammed is God’s apostle. Those who follow him are ruthless to the unbelievers but merciful to one another. (48:29).
– It is unlawful for a believer to kill another believer, accidents excepted. (4:92)
– Believers, take neither the Jews nor the Christians for your friends. (5:51)
– Make war on them until idolatry shall cease and God’s religion shall reign supreme. (8:40)
– Fight against them until idolatry is no more and God’s religion reigns supreme. (2:193)
– The true believers fight for the cause of God, but the infidels fight for the devil. (4:76)
– We will put terror into the hearts of the unbelievers. (3:151)
– I shall cast terror into the hearts of the infidels. Strike off their heads, strike off the very tips of their fingers. (8:12)

Multiculturalism Harasses Thilo Sarrazin
John R. Houk
© May 19, 2013
This article is a little difficult to read in my opinion; nonetheless the message is clear. A German got himself in hot water over going public that the non-German immigrants of the Turkish and Arab persuasion are increasing via the birthrate exponentially enough to overtake the homegrown European Germanic culture. And as that immigration population grows they are the ones that tend to live on the German government welfare.
That German is Thilo Sarrazin who has been a prominent German politician and now an important Executive Board Member of the German Bundesbank which is the central bank of the Federal Republic of Germany and as such part of the European System of Central Banks (ESCB).
Evidently Sarrazin is both controversial and popular in Germany because of this book he wrote in 2010 which in English is rendered “Germany Abolishes Itself: How We Are Risking Our Country”. (I noticed Wikipedia has a different translation of this title: “Germany Is Doing Away With Itself”.)
This article is entitled “UN Pressures Germany to Bow to ‘Hate Speech’ Hysteria”. Evidently an agency of the United Nations the Committee on the Elimination of Racial Discrimination (CERD) is the anti-Free Speech agenda to squash opinions such as those presented by Thilo Sarrazin. Here is an excerpt of the CERD mission from its website:
The Committee on the Elimination of Racial Discrimination (CERD) is the body of independent experts that monitors implementation of the Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Racial Discrimination by its State parties.
All States parties are obliged to submit regular reports to the Committee on how the rights are being implemented. States must report initially one year after acceding to the Convention and then every two years. The Committee examines each report and addresses its concerns and recommendations to the State party in the form of “concluding observations”.
In addition to the reporting procedure, the Convention establishes three other mechanisms through which the Committee performs its monitoring functions: the early-warning procedure, the examination of inter-state complaints and the examination of individual complaints.
The Committee meets in Geneva and normally holds two sessions per year consisting of three weeks each.
The Committee also publishes its interpretation of the content of human rights provisions, known as general recommendations (or general comments), on thematic issues and organizes thematic discussions.
For more information about the work of the Committee on the Elimination of Racial Discrimination, click here.
The CERD decision placing pressure on the German government is 19 pages. You can read the entire pdf English translation document; however I think you can get the gist of how the U.N. is imposing Free Speech suppression according to how Americans view Free Speech from this small excerpt:
3.3 The petitioner argues that since Mr. Sarrazin is the former Finance Senator of the Berlin Senate and member of the Board of Directors of the German Central Bank, his authority leads to the perception that his statements are based on proven facts and, therefore, “the truth”. It adds that the effects of Mr. Sarrazin’s statements enhance prejudices of the majority towards the Turkish population and individuals of Turkish heritage, including their children. The petitioner submits that such racially discriminatory statements are not covered by the right to freedom of expression because the concerned group has a right to live without prejudices and general intolerance, and the freedom to exercise their rights should be respected. The statements made by Mr. Sarrazin should be assessed in the framework of the special social context of Germany, adding to the general pattern of incitement to racial hatred against the Turkish population, which in the circumstances can be even more dangerous than openly flaunted racism, which is easier to combat. With the termination of the investigation against Mr. Sarrazin, the petitioner claims that it was arbitrarily denied protection against racially discriminatory statements directed against it as a group of individuals of Turkish heritage and as the representative of this group and the propagation thereof represents a violation of articles 2 (1 (d), 4, (a) and 6.
So here’s the thing. The U.N.’s CERD is forcing Germany to comply with the Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) to prohibit all forms of criticism of Islam which is responsible for most of the world’s global terrorism.
Oops! I just violated U.N.’s campaign to protect Islam. Oh well, I’ll get over it.

No Compulsion of Religion in Islam – It’s Poppycock
John R. Houk
© May 18, 2013
Many a Muslim in defending the theopolitical cult of Islam will quote this phrase to emphasize the propaganda and false perception that Islam is peace: There is compulsion in religion.
The phrase is straight from the Quran which Muslims consider the infallible directs words of Allah passed onto Mohammed who then shared them with his adherents. It can be referenced as Quran 2:256 or as Al-Baqara 256.
Here are a few English translations of Quran 2:256:
Muhammad Asad
THERE SHALL BE no coercion in matters of faith. Distinct has now become the right way from [the way of] error: hence, he who rejects the powers of evil and believes in God has indeed taken hold of a support most unfailing, which shall never give way: for God is all-hearing, all-knowing.
Pickthall
There is no compulsion in religion. The right direction is henceforth distinct from error. And he who rejecteth false deities and believeth in Allah hath grasped a firm handhold which will never break. Allah is Hearer, Knower.
Compulsion is incompatible with religion, therefore let there be no compulsion in religion. Now the path of righteousness has been distinguished from the path of error and holiness distinguished from vindictiveness. Therefore, he who rejects false beliefs and turns his attention to Allah with a religious mind, will have firmly grasped the eternal, unchangeable and most secure handhold which shall never separate, nor shall it suffer a break, and Allah is Sami‘un and ‘Alimun.
** Read more translations from Islam Awakened
There are Muslim scholars of considerable weighty importance that have written the Quran 2:256 has been abrogated by Quran 9:29:
Sahih International: Fight those who do not believe in Allah or in the Last Day and who do not consider unlawful what Allah and His Messenger have made unlawful and who do not adopt the religion of truth from those who were given the Scripture – [fight] until they give the jizyah willingly while they are humbled.
Pickthall: Fight against such of those who have been given the Scripture as believe not in Allah nor the Last Day, and forbid not that which Allah hath forbidden by His messenger, and follow not the Religion of Truth, until they pay the tribute readily, being brought low.
Yusuf Ali: Fight those who believe not in Allah nor the Last Day, nor hold that forbidden which hath been forbidden by Allah and His Messenger, nor acknowledge the religion of Truth, (even if they are) of the People of the Book, until they pay the Jizya with willing submission, and feel themselves subdued.
Shakir: Fight those who do not believe in Allah, nor in the latter day, nor do they prohibit what Allah and His Messenger have prohibited, nor follow the religion of truth, out of those who have been given the Book, until they pay the tax in acknowledgment of superiority and they are in a state of subjection.
Muhammad Sarwar: Fight against those People of the Book who have no faith in God or the Day of Judgment, who do not consider unlawful what God and His Messenger have made unlawful, and who do not believe in the true religion, until they humbly pay tax with their own hands.
Mohsin Khan: Fight against those who (1) believe not in Allah, (2) nor in the Last Day, (3) nor forbid that which has been forbidden by Allah and His Messenger (4) and those who acknowledge not the religion of truth (i.e. Islam) among the people of the Scripture (Jews and Christians), until they pay the Jizyah with willing submission, and feel themselves subdued.
Arberry: Fight those who believe not in God and the Last Day and do not forbid what God and His Messenger have forbidden — such men as practise not the religion of truth, being of those who have been given the Book — until they pay the tribute out of hand and have been humbled.
** From Quran Arabic Corpus
You can understand why many Muslim scholars claim Quran 9:29 abrogates (or nullifies) Quran 2:256’s “There is no compulsion in religion”. According to 9:29 Muslims are to fight non-believers in Islam and Mohammed’s version of the Last Day. The Last Day meaning all non-Muslims will be confined to the torments of hell. Thus if you believe in the Muslim way you are worthy of death. That sounds like compulsion to me!
Fascinatingly there are Muslim scholars that claim 9:29 does not abrogate 2:256. This Muslim thinking works something like this: The fight against unbelievers is not an invocation to kill but rather to submit to the Islamic theopolitical culture as subservient. A lack of subservience does mean brutal measures up to and including death. So thinking is not compelling one to convert to Islam but create a dhimmi class that pays the jizya tax (poll tax to stay alive) in humiliation so that the dhimmi knows their place in Muslim world. Breaking the dhimmi deal requires punish according to how Islam has been violated or insulted. Guess what the conquered people chose to do rather than suffer the humiliations of dhimmitude. If you guessed conversion to Islam you are the big winner!
In essence dhimmitude was the long term path to convince the conquered to convert to Islam. The plan might be long term but it still is compulsion in religion.
Here are some thoughts written more articulately on the issue of abrogation or non-abrogation of Quran 2:256 by Quran 9:29:
Immediately following is the famous statement that “there is no compulsion in religion” (v. 256). Islamic spokesmen in the West frequently quote it to disprove the contention that Islam spread by the sword, or even to claim that Islam is a religion of peace. According to an early Muslim, Mujahid ibn Jabr, this verse was abrogated by Qur’an 9:29, in which the Muslims are commanded to fight against the People of the Book. Others, however, according to the Islamic historian Tabari, say that 2:256 was never abrogated, but was revealed precisely in reference to the People of the Book. They are not to be forced to accept Islam, but may practice their religions as long as they pay the jizya (poll-tax) and “feel themselves subdued” (9:29).
Many see v. 256 as contradicting the Islamic imperative to wage jihad against unbelievers, but actually there is no contradiction because the aim of jihad is not the forced conversion of non-Muslims, but their subjugation within the Islamic social order. Says Asad: “All Islamic jurists (fuqahd’), without any exception, hold that forcible conversion is under all circumstances null and void, and that any attempt at coercing a non-believer to accept the faith of Islam is a grievous sin: a verdict which disposes of the widespread fallacy that Islam places before the unbelievers the alternative of ‘conversion or the sword.’” Quite so: the choice, as laid out by Muhammad himself, is conversion, subjugation as dhimmis, or the sword. Qutb accordingly denies that v. 256 contradicts the imperative to fight until “religion is for Allah” (v. 193), saying that “Islam has not used force to impose its beliefs.” Rather, jihad’s “main objective has been the establishment of a stable society in which all citizens, including followers of other religious creeds, may live in peace and security” – although not with equality of rights before the law, as 9:29 emphasizes. For Qutb, that “stable society” is the “Islamic social order,” the establishment of which is a chief objective of jihad.
In this light verses 256 and 193 go together without any trouble. Muslims must fight until “religion is for Allah,” but they don’t force anyone to accept Allah’s religion. They enforce subservience upon those who refuse to convert, such that many of them subsequently convert to Islam so as to escape the humiliating and discriminatory regulations of dhimmitude — but when they convert, they do so freely. Only at the end of the world will Jesus, the Prophet of Islam, return and Islamize the world, abolishing Christianity and thus the need for the jizya that is paid by the dhimmis. Then religion will be “for Allah,” and there will be no further need for jihad. (Excerpted from Blogging the Qur’an: Sura 2, “The Cow,” verses 222-286; By Robert Spencer; Hot Air; 7/15/07)
Now here is the reason I thought it important to understand the Islamic notion of there being no compulsion of religion. Raymond Ibrahim wrote a no holds barred expose on how Muslims indeed compelled Christians to convert or die throughout the centuries to this present day. Ibrahim describes some savage historical incidents in which Muslims butchered Christians for not converting to Islam. The essay is entitled “Islamic Forced Conversions — Past and Present”.
