'...his blood may legally be spilled.'
...this quote is attributed to Muhammad,
the founder of ISLAM, speaking
of the 'unbeliever' [of all non-muslims].
The
words above are from this 'Sharia
law' quote
This
muslim text here [above], is speaking specifically
of any 'muslim',
who does not fulfil his religious obligations as a muslim.
A person who is subsequently declared
[takfir]
to be an
unbeliever, an apostate,
who subsequently
has
no 'protection' within
any Sharia law jurisdiction.
Here, a table citing examples of 'Jihad' incidents of
violence
against
individuals.
To many muslims these incidents are regarded as a 'lawful' violence
[against the 'unbeliever'],
and 'justified' within Sharia
law...
The table below is not
intended to be a comprehensive list of incidents.
It is intended as a demonstration of how muslim violence
against
'non-muslims', is categorised, and justified, by many
devout muslims.
It is intended as a list of examples of how muslim violence
against
'non-muslims', is 'justified', by reference to ISLAMIC texts, by those who carry out these
violent acts.

A fuller and updated list of Jihad violence
directed against
non-muslims [and
against
apostate 'muslims'] can be found here.....
Two apostate sisters...
...Amina [18] and Sarah [17],
dead, at the hand of their father, 2008.
Texas, USA.
More info, at a link on the left column, at....
http://www.jihadwatch.org/
Please note, that muslim community spokesmen in addressing
these,
'slaughter of innocents' atrocities
are two-faced:
When it suits them,
and when addressing a NON-muslim audience they will say [1st face]:
"It is nothing
to do with ISLAM,
...it’s a domestic violence issue."
But
for a different
audience,
muslims
will justify such killings....
And
when it suits them,
muslims
[the
Jihadist]
will say this, to the
'Ummah' [2nd
face]:
"The
blood of these 'unbelievers' was 'lawfully spilled'.
...Allah Akbar!! Allah Akbar!!"
'Ummah'...
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ummah
For 'insulting' ISLAM,
"Salman Rushdie,
indeed any
writer who abuses the prophet or indeed any
prophet under Islamic law,
the
sentence for that is
actually death."
....spoken by,
Yusuf Islam

Cat Stevens]

Images from the streets of London, UK,
on February 3, 2006,
muslim demands are
made,
This muslim violence [all muslim violence against
non-muslims, in non-muslim
jurisdictions]
is calculated, deliberate,
political
action - within Dar-al-Harb
['The House or War'].
Terror
- is the objective!
Terror - is the
'method'!
To devout muslims, all
non-muslim lands are regarded as.....
see also,
There are three general categories of 'non-muslims' who may
'lawfully'
be
killed by devout muslims...
- apostate muslims
[yes, apostate
muslims are
regarded by ISLAM as 'non-muslims'].
- all non-muslims who have rejected the 'invitation' [
Dawa ] to
embrace ISLAM, and in consequence refuse to submit to Sharia law, ISLAM.
- all non-muslims who resist the spread of ISLAM into
new
land[s].
To those who
commit the killings, all victims of the current
[since 9/11] muslim Jihad fall
into one of the above categories,
and therefore....
'...his [or
her] blood
may legally be spilled.'
"......In
public interviews Bakri condemned the
killing of all innocent civilians.
Later when
he addressed his own followers he explained that
he had in fact been referring only
to Muslims as
only they were innocent:
“Yes I condemn killing any innocent
people, but not any kuffar.”
"
Sheikh Omar
Bakri Muhammad
Speaking
publicly, and then privately, regarding the London 7/7 bombing
victims.
"....when we
say innocent
people, we mean muslims....
....If you are a non-muslim,
then you are guilty...."
Anjem
Choudary
UK muslim community leader, talks of
the London 7/7 bombing victims
When muslims kill 'unbelievers'.....
Often muslims will publicly praise their god, Allah, in the act of
killing opponents [anyone who is identified as an, 'enemy of
ISLAM'].
And of course, all 'enemies of
ISLAM', who are killed by Jihadists are,
'unclean', 'unbelievers'.
And a muslim would never
kill another muslim, because
the Koran [the
word of Allah] states that a muslim must never
knowingly kill another muslim.
sarc /off
Never should a
believer kill a believer;.......If a man kills a believer
intentionally, his recompense is Hell, to abide therein (For ever): And
the wrath and the curse of Allah are upon him, and a dreadful penalty
is prepared for him.
http://www.usc.edu/dept/MSA/quran/004.qmt.html#004.092
& 93
When muslims kill 'muslims'.....
As stated immediately above, a muslim must never
knowingly kill another muslim.
Nevertheless, through an [unsurprising] muslim moral contortion, within
Sharia jurisdictions
[all] un-ISLAMIC
'muslims' are deemed,
to be
'guilty' unbelievers,
and 'their blood can lawfully be shed'.
One
example of slaying apostates, from Iran,
Group
cleared over Iran murders, ....because
their victims were involved in un-Islamic activities, the court found.
....The accused, who were all members
of an Islamic paramilitary force, told the court their understanding of the
teachings of one Islamic cleric allowed them to kill immoral people
if they had ignored two warnings to stop their bad behaviour.....the Supreme [Sharia]
Court is reported to have acquitted all the killers.
See also,
"....takfir or takfeer is the practice of
declaring unbeliever or kafir (pl. kuffār), an individual or a
group previously
considered Muslim."
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Takfir
[link]
Quote from ISLAMIC law [Sharia],
speaking on the obligations muslims
fulfil [to remain a muslim]...
Ibn
'Abbas reported that the Prophet said: "The bare essence of Islam
and the basics of the religion are three [acts], upon which Islam has
been established. Whoever leaves one of them becomes an unbeliever and
his blood may legally be
spilled. [The acts are:] Testifying that there
is no God except Allah, the obligatory prayers, and the fast of
Ramadan."....
http://www.usc.edu/dept/MSA/law/fiqhussunnah/fus3_50.html#3.110
What this muslim text [above] is saying is, that all muslims are
'sanctified', in
killing 'unbelievers'.
Because within a Sharia
jurisdiction, 'unbelievers' are 'guilty' people, not deserving of mercy.
And in a similar theme, this quote from the Koran [follow the link for
the full quote].....
In how to deal with muslim apostates, the Hadith instructs muslims,
In the Koran, muslims are told
that they are to be merciless
towards
all non-muslims who reject ISLAM.
Within all Sharia
jurisdictions....
"....those who reject Allah have no
protector."
The Koran
instructs muslims,
that,
The Koran
instructs muslims,
Is your muslim friend, truly, your friend?
Maybe.
But understand this, ISLAM instructs a muslim, that he cannot be the friend of an
'unbeliever'.
A muslim cannot be the friend of an unbeliever, and to his muslim community,
still be a
muslim.
Do you [as a non-muslim] have a muslim 'friend', who closely follows his religion,
and claims friendship
with you ???
Then you should inform yourself, about how all devout muslims
intend to fight their war, with the 'unbelievers' in 'The House or War',
These following words are attributed to Muhammad, the founder of ISLAM,
[link]
The information on this page is not 'hate'.
It is TRUTH.
It is stated here for clarity
[for non-muslims].
Dictionary
definition:
clarity
· n.
1 the state
or quality of being clear, distinct, and easily perceived or understood.
2 the
quality of transparency or purity: the crystal clarity of water.
– ORIGIN ME (in the sense ‘glory, divine splendour’):
from L. claritas, from clarus ‘clear’.
All of this hidden [not divulged to non-muslims]
information, is sourced from the Koran
or the Hadith, or other
'holy'
muslim
texts.
[link]
The following two muslim texts declare that the killing of a
'disbeliever', and the killing of a muslim, are not equal crimes.
[1]
Bukhari Hadith Volume 9, Book 83,
Number 50:
[2]
Bukhari Hadith Volume 4, Book 52,
Number 283:
What these two muslim texts [above] confirm is, that muslims are
[regard themselves, as!]
innocent people.
Whereas, all non-muslims are 'guilty'
people [they are 'guilty', in their
unbelief].
And the death of non-muslim persons should be of little consequence to
the muslim community.
.....as it is clear, he / she was a
'guilty person'.
The term, 'Kuffar', is used by
muslims to describe non-muslims.
It is used as a slur [upon non-muslims], it is an Arabic word meaning
'unbeliever', someone who is unclean.
A 'Kuffar' is someone who
is less-than
a muslim.
From the muslim point of view [and what imam's inculcate into their own
muslim communities, to foster the hatred of non-muslims]....
'Unbelievers', ...are those who are the
cause of war and
conflicts with muslims....
All wars are caused by those who resist ISLAM.
Muslims do not initiate wars, with non-muslims.
All conflict with non-muslims is brought about, when muslims are forced
to 'defend' ISLAM.
When devout muslims
kill [the 'unclean', the 'non-muslims'], muslims
will often declare that they have no shame, or
guilt, in their action of taking life.
In their mind, all devout muslims always act 'legally' in
'defending' ISLAM [in killing non-muslims, and 'lapsed' muslims].
And devout muslims will almost always categorise the killing of
non-muslims, as a necessary act, to 'defend' ISLAM from some insinuated 'insult', or
'attack' against muslims, ISLAM. example1
Further, all muslims are obligated,
and encouraged by their imams , to physically act to 'defend' ISLAM
from 'attacks' by unbelievers.
This killing of unbelievers is sanctioned, from within ISLAM, from
the imams,
and from interpretation of 'holy' muslim texts.
And this 'defence' of ISLAM is the excuse, the 'justification', for all
of the 'lawful' acts of muslim violence, and muslim murder in the
world, ....since
the days of Muhammad.
Muslims will categorise non-muslims [for the sake of muslim rhetoric]
as 'attacking ISLAM', when....
- non-muslims exist,
in non-muslim communities, and live un-ISLAMIC lifestyles [because
muslims living among those non-muslims, are made subject to 'unjust',
secular, non-muslim laws!!]
- non-muslims criticise
ISLAM
- non-muslims point out that muslims divide the world into Dar-al-ISLAM [The
House or Peace] and Dar-al-Harb
[The House or War], indicating
that
muslims are always at war
with non-muslims
If a muslim kills a non-muslim [within a Sharia jurisdiction], there
may well be no legal consequence, depending on the perceived
'provocation' [from the non-muslim person], and the 'status' [value] of
the non-muslim person
within that particular muslim community.
But certainly, according to ISLAM [and within all Sharia jurisdictions],
the life of a non-muslim, is not to be
regarded as equal, to the value of the life of a muslim. cited here
[link]
The 'enemies of ISLAM' are....
Those non-muslims who are 'invited' [Dawa]
to join the worldwide ISLAMIC community [the 'ummah'],
and yet choose to reject ISLAM and Sharia
law.
Those non-muslims
who resist the spread of ISLAM into new
lands.
Those non-muslims
who 'insult' ISLAM - with unwelcome scrutiny,
or mocking, or criticism of ISLAM.
Those muslims who choose to renounce ISLAM.
Those muslims who are apostates, or are
declared 'takfir' [declared
to be non-muslim]
by other [more 'devout'] muslims.
[Witness the blood feuds
between Shia and Sunni muslims, each declaring the other, takfir! Example1
]
'...their blood
may legally be spilled.'

Look at this world, 2008.
Something is very, very, wrong here.
Today in this world, we are told that, black is white, and white is
black.
Up is down, and down is up.
TRUTH is 'hate'.
And hate, is 'TRUTH'.
Today, tolerance of evil, is
considered 'righteous', 'tolerant', and PC.
While, to speak against evil, is
'hatred' and a crime.
"....and
men loved darkness rather than light,
because their deeds were evil."

The duplicity exposed [yet again]....
Some unguarded
comments [below], from some
'moderate'
and 'mainstream'
muslim clerics.
These unguarded comments from muslim clerics,
again
exposes the truth, that ISLAM has two 'messages', for two different audiences.....
- One message, which is for the non-muslim
community is, "ISLAM is Peace!"
[i.e. 'Don't scare the horses.']
- But there is a very different,
2nd message, which is directed towards muslim communities, which
is, "We [muslims] will
rule the world, as has been said by the Prophet Muhammad."
Below, are a few [recent] high profile examples,
of the rhetoric of
some 'moderate'
and 'mainstream'
muslim clerics.
And the way in which, these men are encouraging their fellow muslims to
view,
and engage with,
- 'unbelievers', and
- the 'enemies of ISLAM', and
- those who live un-ISLAMIC
lives.

Indian Muslim cleric: "Every
Muslim should be a terrorist"
....Allah has instructed us to
follow the hijab, so that women can be saved from rape and molestation.
....Every Muslim should be proud
to be a fundamentalist Muslim. That is because none of the
teachings of Islam causes any harm to society. On the contrary,
it causes.... it gives benefits to society. On the basis of this
knowledge, every
Muslim should be proud to be a fundamentalist Muslim.
.....I would stress
that every Muslim should be a terrorist. I repeat: Every Muslim
should be a terrorist. A terrorist is
a person who terrifies others, who terrorizes others. That is
precisely the reason we have the police. As soon as the robber sees the
policeman, he is terrified, he is terrorized. Similarly, the Muslims
should terrorize the anti-social elements in society. He should
terrorize the robber, the decoy, the rapist. I know that 'terrorist' is
taken as a concept of a person who terrorizes the common man. But we Muslims
should be terrorists for the anti-social elements in society.
http://www.jihadwatch.org/archives/020944.php
Note this quote, from the last story....
"....Every Muslim should be a
terrorist.....Muslims should terrorize the anti-social elements in
society."
When spoken in this context, by this muslim cleric, the term "...anti-social elements",
these are clearly 'code words',
which allude to something else....
And, for
non-muslims,
here is a TRANSLATION
of this statements true 'intent', and meaning....
"....Every Muslim should be a terrorist.....Muslims
should terrorize the un-ISLAMIC
elements in society."
This 'interpretation' is a truthful, and accurate,
exposé, of the real
meaning, of the words used by this muslim cleric.
Many muslims would claim that in his statement, this muslim cleric
[above], was simply railing against general 'anti-social' behaviour,
....in any society.
Not so!
In his statement, this muslim cleric was addressing muslims.
It would all depend on how a muslim would define, 'anti-social'
behaviour - according to the teaching within ISLAM, and from
the clerics!
And, all devout muslims
define 'un-ISLAMIC'
behaviour, as 'anti-social'
behaviour.
And in many cases, such behaviour is punishable by death [....for
'insulting'
ISLAM]!
Do you remember the accusation of
'anti-social' behaviour in Sudan,
in 2007, in the form of
the 'Teddy
bear' incident?
A British schoolteacher,
Gillian
Gibbons, was accused of
'insulting
Islam's Prophet', and
'inciting
hatred', after
allowing
a muslim child to call a teddy bear 'Muhammad'.
As
a further
confirmation of the malevolent intent of these words [above],
here are [just a few] examples of how today,
this interpretation ['anti-social'
behaviour = = 'un-ISLAMIC' behaviour], is
being ruthlessly
applied within ISLAMIC, Sharia
jurisdictions,
....and there are many, many, more
examples out there!
again, with ISLAM.....
Terror
- is the objective!
Terror - is the
'method'!

Jordanian Muslim cleric:
Islam will rule the world, America

former minister of religious endowment in modern,
moderate Jordan was a Misunderstander of Islam?
....."Former Jordanian Minister Ali Al-Faqir Vows to Conquer
Spain
and Rome
and Declares: America and the
EU Will Soon Come to an End,"
......Sheik Ali Al-Faqir: We must declare that Palestine, from the
[Jordan] River to the [Mediterranean] Sea, is an Islamic
land, and that also Spain –
Andalusia – is the land of Islam. Islamic lands that were
occupied by the enemies
will once again become Islamic. Furthermore, we will reach
beyond these countries, which are lost at one point. We proclaim
that we will conquer Rome, like Constantinople was conquered once, and
as it will be conquered again.
.....Sheik Ali Al-Faqir: We will rule
the world, as has been said by the Prophet Muhammad.

My message to all
muslims.....
Seek your God.
You are a [spiritual] child of God.
We are all locked in this body of flesh [earth], for a 'season'.
If you as a muslim [or any other man, even G'Dubya], use your power [your
flesh] to embrace
evil [to embrace what you know
is wicked] and then, to avoid any
shame, call your actions 'righteousness',
....then when
you meet God [as we all must], do not expect his loving embrace.
....but rather, his rebuke.
This small planet, and our bodies of flesh, are places where we have
come, ....to choose.
Lamentations
3:32
But though he cause grief, yet will he
have compassion according to the multitude of his mercies.
33 For he doth not afflict
willingly nor grieve the children of men.
34 To crush under his feet *all
the prisoners of the earth*,

of Parables
Isaiah
1:2
¶Hear, O heavens, and give ear, O earth: for the LORD hath spoken,
I
have nourished and brought up children, and they have rebelled against
me.
Jeremiah 4:22
For my people is foolish, they have not known me; they are sottish
children, and they have none understanding: they are wise to do evil,
but to do good they have no knowledge.
One of the saddest things for our father, our God, is when we
[as his spiritual children] refuse to "own"
our shame, for our actions,
here in this flesh.
"Owning" our shame =
repentance = being
sorry in our heart, for
our mistakes in this life.
Psalms
51:17
The sacrifices of God are a broken
spirit: a broken and a
contrite
heart, O God, thou wilt not despise.
Isaiah 57:15
For thus saith the high and lofty One
that inhabiteth eternity, whose
name is Holy; I dwell
in the high and holy place, with
him also that is
of a contrite and humble spirit, to revive the spirit of the
humble,
and to revive the heart of the contrite ones.
Isaiah 66:2
......but to this man will I look,
even to him that is
poor and of a contrite spirit,
and trembleth at my word.

I will have mercy, and not sacrifice: for I am not come to call the righteous,
but sinners to repentance.
Luke 15:7
I say unto you, that likewise joy
shall be in heaven over one sinner that repenteth, more than
over ninety and nine just persons, which need no repentance.
And we all need repentance
in our heart, if we are to seek God's forgiveness.
I am not a judge.
You and i may freely choose our path, in this life.
And we ourselves
choose, that which we allow into our hearts.
You may choose to listen to the serpent [and his 'Garden'
promise], or you may choose to listen to your God.
Choose life.

30:19
I call heaven and earth to record this
day against you, that I have set before you life and death, blessing
and cursing: therefore
choose life, that both thou and thy seed may live:

Multitudes, multitudes in the
valley of decision: for the day of the LORD is near in the
valley of decision.
Here, in this flesh, in these days, we are all standing in the valley of decision.

deceitful man.
Psalms 109:1
¶<<To the chief Musician, A
Psalm of David.>> Hold not thy peace, O God of my praise;
2 For the mouth of the wicked
and the mouth of the deceitful are opened against me: they have spoken
against me with a lying tongue.
3 They compassed me about also
with words of hatred; and fought against me without a cause.
4 For my love they are my
adversaries: but I give myself unto prayer.
5 And they have rewarded me evil for good,
and hatred for my love.
Isaiah 26:5
¶For he bringeth down them that
dwell on high; the lofty city, he layeth it low; he layeth it low, even
to the ground; he bringeth it even to the dust.
6 The foot shall
tread it down, even the feet of the poor, and the steps of the needy.
7 The way of the
just is uprightness: thou, most upright, dost weigh the path of the
just.
8 Yea, in the
way of thy judgments, O LORD, have we waited for thee; the desire of
our soul is to thy name, and to the remembrance of thee.
9 With my soul
have I desired thee
in the night; yea, with my spirit within me will I seek thee
early: for when thy judgments are in the earth, the inhabitants of the
world will learn righteousness.
10 Let favour be
shewed to the wicked, yet will he not learn righteousness: in the land
of uprightness will he deal unjustly, and will not behold the majesty
of the LORD.

he shall choose.

shew them his covenant.
Psalms 146:1
¶Praise ye the LORD. Praise the LORD, O my soul.
2 While I live will I praise the LORD: I will sing praises unto
my God while I have any being.
3 Put not your trust in princes, nor in the son of man, in whom
there is no help.
4 His breath goeth forth, he returneth to his earth; in that very
day his thoughts perish.
5 ¶Happy is he that hath the God of Jacob for his help,
whose hope is in the LORD his God:
6 Which made heaven, and earth, the sea, and all that therein is:
which keepeth truth for ever:
7 Which executeth judgment for the oppressed: which giveth food
to the hungry. The LORD
looseth the prisoners:
8 The LORD openeth the eyes of the blind: the LORD raiseth them that are
bowed down: the LORD loveth the righteous:
9 The LORD preserveth
the strangers; he relieveth the fatherless and widow: but the
way of the wicked he turneth upside down.
10 The LORD shall reign for ever, even thy God, O Zion, unto all
generations. Praise ye the LORD.

which are sanctified by faith that is in me.

day whom ye will serve; whether the gods which your fathers served that
were on the other side of the flood, or the gods of the Amorites, in
whose land ye dwell: but as for me and my house, we will serve the LORD.
Isaiah 12:1
¶And in that day thou shalt say, O LORD, I will praise thee: though thou wast angry with me,
thine anger is turned away, and thou comfortedst me.
2 Behold, God is my
salvation; I will trust, and not be afraid: for the LORD JEHOVAH
is my strength and my song; he
also is become my salvation.
Isaiah 9:6
For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government
shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful,
Counsellor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace.
Seek your God.
".....I
am the LORD which exercise lovingkindness,
judgment, and righteousness, in the earth:
for in
these things I delight, saith the LORD."
Jeremiah
9:24
Long
Ago, Far Away
To preach of peace and brotherhood,
Oh, what might be the cost!
A man he did it long ago
And they hung him on a cross.
Long ago, far away;
These things don't happen
No more, nowadays.
Bob Dylan
