		<description>Roderick, last of the Goths:

And like a cloud of locusts, whom the South Wafts from the plains of wasted Africa, the Musselmen upon Iberia&#039;s shore descend. A countless multitude they came; Syrian, Moor, Saracen, Greek renegade, Persian and Copt and Tatar, in one bond of erring faith conjoined, .... strong in the youth and heat of zeal, ..... a dreadful brotherhood, in whom all turbulent vices were let loose, while concience, with their impious creed accurst, drunk, as with wine, had sanctified them all bloody, all abominable things.....</description>

		<description>&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.jihadwatch.org/2011/04/us-attorney-there-is-so-much-ignorance-and-fear-surrounding-the-islamic-religion.html#comments&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;dumbledoresarmy &#124; April 13, 2011 &lt;/a&gt;

And, at greater length, here is what one Fr J L Menezes, a Catholic priest who spent many years among Muslims in India, had to say on the subject of Islam.

“The Mahommedan religion on the whole with all its dogmatic and moral principles, and with all its positive and negative laws has been a curse to human society.

Mahommed pretended to confer by his religion a boon, at least on his own countrymen, by giving them in place of gross idolatry a purer faith, and surer moral habits, but in this attempt he has miserably failed and has hopelessly fallen into the very sin he so vehemently assailed.

Mahommedanism has penetrated into barbarous countries and has forced its inhabitants to accept it as their saving religion, but in doing so it has not succeeded in elevating man’s condition to a higher level – or at least to a level any higher than that of Arabia in Mohammed’s time.

&#039;The Partial and specious reforms which it may have attempted to effect, are vitiated by the fact that they tend to exclude the higher and nobler virtues;

&#039;and as their inner life of families, the whole, the whole tone of society and the intellectual and moral standard of a people depend on the principles of the ruling religion,

&#039;it is hopeless to expect that Islam will ever cease to be what it hitherto proved,

&#039;**the most formidable obstacle to the dawn of a progressive and enlightened civilization** {my emphasis - dda}.

&#039;How can it be otherwise?

&#039;No permanent house can be built on a foundation of sand; what permanent civilization and progress then can be expected from a people professing a religion founded on fatalism, polygamy and slavery?

&#039;Their blind belief in inevitable fate, and their antagonism to liberty of thought and action have rendered reform next to impossible; and the professors of this religion seem never to realize their obligation and duty towards the people under their rule, of spreading true civilization, good government and the cultivation of the peaceful arts.

&#039;The natural consequence of this ignorance and blindness has been despotism, mal-administration, bigoted persecution and oppression of their co-religionists.

&#039;In the countries of the Mahommedan world

&#039;anarchy, rapine, revenge, strife and murder are the order of the day,

&#039;thieving, lying, usury and oppression are looked upon more as virtues than vices;

&#039;unrestrained licentiousness is carried to unimaginable excess...

&#039;They are generally illiterate and at the same time self-conceited

&#039;and their vainglory in their religion and the nothingness of their own acquirements makes them scorn every other religion;

&#039;the meager education which they generally receive when young, makes them believe that there is not much left for them to learn in the world.

&#039;In short, Mahommedan countries are the chosen homes of 
ignorance, bigotry, tyranny and brutal vice,

&#039;and rendezvous for a filthy, unprincipled people, as well as for brigands, felons and freebooters.

&#039;While all other countries not influenced by Islam have made rapid progress in every direction and enjoy the blessings and peace of true civilization,

&#039;Mahommedan countries have remained absolutely opposed to change and reform;

&#039;nay, rapacity and extortion have reduced them to a most deplorable state.

&#039;Such is the boon conferred on human society by the Mahommedan religion, and what a benefactor Mahommed has been to his country!

&#039;Who was pleased to give to his country, nay, to the whole world, a religion which,

&#039; claiming a divine origin as the final and irrevocable standard of morality,

&#039;has kept its followers sunk in ignorance and barbarism, and has become an insuperable barrier to the regeneration, civilization and progress of the Eastern world.”

		<description>&lt;strong&gt;Quotes From The Islamic World&lt;/strong&gt;

&lt;strong&gt;Zahar is the Hamas leader who declared of Jews:&lt;/strong&gt;



&lt;blockquote&gt;“&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.theaustralian.com.au/news/every-jewish-child-now-a-target-hamas/story-e6frg6tx-1111118496655&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;They have legitimised the murder of their own children &lt;/a&gt;by killing the children of Palestine.  They have legitimised the killing of their people all over the world by killing our people.”&lt;/blockquote&gt;



&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.targetofopportunity.com/political_quotes_islam.htm&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;Updated 07 November 2010&lt;/a&gt;

We proudly present a collection of Quotes from the leaders of Islam and the Muslim World. This is maintained for the historical record. We hope you enjoy them as much as we do.

&quot;I wouldn&#039;t want to create the impression that I wouldn&#039;t like the government of the United States to be Islamic sometime in the future.&quot;
-- Ibrahim Hooper, CAIR&#039;s current communications director

&quot;They may say one thing to you in front of CNN but I can assure you behind your backs... they are standing with their Muslim brother and sisters... It is an Islamic obligation.&quot;
-- Imam Anjem Choudary

&quot;The Shariah is the divine law sent by Allah... It is justice for mankind... It is a noble thing to invite someone to a superior way of life.&quot;
-- Imam Anjem Choudary

&quot;We love death more than you love life.&quot;
-- Major Nidal Malik Hasan, who killed 13 and wounding of 30 fellow soldiers at Fort Hood, TX

&quot;We love death more than you love life.&quot;
-- Adis Medunjanin, part of a 911 call made in New York City after crashing his car while fleeing from federal agents who had confiscated his passport

&quot;I want to destroy everything here as they did the Al Aqsa mosque. It&#039;s a symbol of occupation. Destroying it is a symbol of Islam.&quot;
-- Mahmoud Malahi speaking about destroying Jewish settlements in the name of Islam

&quot;I am telling you that my religion [Islam] doesn&#039;t tolerate other religions. It doesn&#039;t tolerate. The only one law which needs to be spread, it can be here or anywhere else has to be Islam.&quot;
-- Cleric Abdul Nacer Benbrika in an interview with ABC (Australian Broadcasting Corporation) in November 2005

&quot;We have come to you... with people who love death more than you love life.&quot;
-- Ansar Jund Allah, Commander Of Gaza Organization

&quot;A muslim man can have sexual pleasure with a little girl as young as a baby. But he should not penetrate her vaginally, however he can sodomize her&quot;
-- Imam Khomeini, the top Shia authority, Tehriro vasyleh, fourth edition, Qom, Iran, 1990

&quot;The believers in Allah rightly do not dread their enemies and do not fear Jihad, because they see Jihad as a profitable bargain, selling their lives to Allah to get paradise in return. Their enemies protect their own lives, as criminals do. Allah has already said about them: &#039;You will find that they are the people who protect their own life more than anyone else.&#039; The believers do not fear the enemy during the struggle and do not protect their lives. Allah has promised them one of two good things: [either] victory or martyrdom... Yet their enemies protect their lives like a miser protects his money. They do not give their lives easily; they do not enter into battles seeking martyrdom; they do not act in order to attain martyrdom. This is the secret of the believers&#039; victory over their enemies - though the believers are few and the polytheists many, with advanced weaponry and equipment.&quot;
-- Abdallah Al-Naggar, a religious columnist for the Egyptian government daily Al-Gumhuriya

&quot;Israel has a people&#039;s army and a draft and therefore they should be considered legitimate targets. They are part of the occupying power, and Palestinians consider them targets for suicide bombers as well as other means.&quot;
-- Mohamed Elmasry, Imam and President of the Canadian Islamic Congress

&quot;If they (Jews) all gather in Israel, it will save us the trouble of going after them worldwide.&quot;
-- Hassan Nasrallah, Secretary-General of Lebanon&#039;s Hezbollah (or &quot;Party of God&quot;), Daily Star, 23 October 2002

&quot;If we searched the entire world for a person more cowardly, despicable, weak and feeble in psyche, mind, ideology and religion, we would not find anyone like the Jew. Notice, I do not say the Israeli.&quot;
-- Hassan Nasrallah, Secretary-General of Lebanon&#039;s Hezbollah (or &quot;Party of God&quot;), New Yorker, 14 October 2002

&quot;One of the central reasons for creating Hezbollah was to challenge the Zionist program in the region. Hezbollah still preserves this principle, and when an Egyptian journalist visited me after the liberation and asked me if the destruction of Israel and the liberation of Palestine and Jerusalem were Hezbollah&#039;s goal, I replied: &#039;That is the principal objective of Hezbollah, and it is no less sacred than our ultimate goal. The generation that lived through the creation of this entity is still alive. This generation watches documentaries and reads documents that show that the land conquered was called Palestine, not Israel.&#039; We face an entity that conquered the land of another people, drove them out of their land, and committed horrendous massacres. As we see, this is an illegal state; it is a cancerous entity and the root of all the crises and wars and cannot be a factor in bringing about a true and just peace in this region. Therefore, we cannot acknowledge the existence of a state called Israel, not even far in the future, as some people have tried to suggest. Time does not cancel the legitimacy of the Palestinian claim.&quot;
-- Hassan Nasrallah, Secretary-General of Lebanon&#039;s Hezbollah (or &quot;Party of God&quot;), Middle East Quarterly, Fall 2002

&quot;The second effort was spreading the word among the people, first, in a bid to raise their morale, and second to instil in them a sense of animosity towards the enemy, coupled with a spirit of resistence... this required us to use the language of indoctrination rather than realpolitik. People then were not in need of political analysis, they were in need of being incited and goaded.&quot;
-- Hassan Nasrallah, Secretary-General of Lebanon&#039;s Hezbollah (or &quot;Party of God&quot;), Hala Jaber, Hezbollah Born With a Vengeance, Columbia University Press, 1997, pp. 49-50

&quot;How can death become joyous? How can death become happiness? When Al-Hussein asked his nephew Al-Qassem, when he had not yet reached puberty: &#039;How do you like the taste of death, son?&#039; He answered that it was sweeter than honey. How can the foul taste of death become sweeter than honey? Only through conviction, ideology, and faith, through belief, and devotion... We do not want to... leave our homeland to Israel... Therefore, we are not interested in our own personal security. On the contrary, each of us lives his days and nights hoping more than anything to be killed for the sake of Allah.&quot;
-- Hassan Nasrallah, Secretary-General of Lebanon&#039;s Hezbollah (or &quot;Party of God&quot;), Al-Manar TV , 18-19 Febuary 2005

&quot;Let the entire world hear me. Our hostility to the Great Satan [America] is absolute... I conclude my speech with the slogan that will continue to reverberate on all occasions so that nobody will think that we have weakened. Regardless of how the world has changed after 11 September, Death to America will remain our reverberating and powerful slogan: Death to America&quot;
-- Hassan Nasrallah, Secretary-General of Lebanon&#039;s Hezbollah (or &quot;Party of God&quot;),BBC Monitoring: Al-Manar, 27 September 2002

&quot;It is our pride that the Great Satan (U.S.) and the head of despotism, corruption and arrogance in modern times considers us as an enemy that should be listed in the terrorism list...I say to every member of Hezbollah (should) be happy and proud that your party has been placed on the list of terrorist organizations as the U.S. view it&quot;
-- Hassan Nasrallah, Secretary-General of Lebanon&#039;s Hezbollah (or &quot;Party of God&quot;), United Press International, 4 November 2001

&quot;Martyrdom operations - suicide bombings - should be exported outside Palestine. I encourage Palestinians to take suicide bombings worldwide. Don&#039;t be shy about it.&quot;
-- Hassan Nasrallah, Secretary-General of Lebanon&#039;s Hezbollah (or &quot;Party of God&quot;), Washington Times 6 December 2002

&quot;What else is wrong with &#039;suicide&#039; bombing? Legally, less than what one might believe. While it may or may not be good strategy, it appears to be permissable under international law.&quot;
-- Enver Masud, The Wisdom Fund - &quot;What&#039;s Wrong With Suicide Bombing?&quot;, 09 May 2002

&quot;Palestine is occupied land, and under international law, the Palestinians have the legal right to resist this occupation by any and all means. This may make busses, restaurants, discos--where Israeli military congregate, lawful targets. &quot;
-- Enver Masud, The Wisdom Fund - &quot;What&#039;s Wrong With Suicide Bombing?&quot;, 09 May 2002

&quot;We tell them, in as much as you love life, the Muslim loves death and martyrdom. There is a great difference between he who loves the hereafter and he who loves this world. The Muslim loves death and strives for martyrdom.&quot;
-- Mufti Sheikh Ikrimeh Sabri, Chief Palestinian Authority Cleric

&quot;The Jews preached permissiveness and corruption, as they hid behind false slogans like freedom and equality, humanism and brotherhood... They are cowards in battle... they flee from death and fear fighting... They love life.&quot;
-- Saudi Sheikh Abd Al-Muhsin Al-Qassem in Al-Madina

&quot;Islam is a revolutionary faith that comes to destroy any government made by man. Islam doesn&#039;t look for a nation to be in better condition than another nation. Islam doesn&#039;t care about the land or who own the land. The goal of Islam is to rule the entire world and submit all of mankind to the faith of Islam. Any nation or power in this world that tries to get in the way of that goal, Islam will fight and destroy.&quot;
-- Mawlana Abul Ala Mawdudi, founder of Pakistan&#039;s Fundamentalist Movement

&quot;As far as the matters of religion are concerned we know for sure that only Islam is the true religion in the eyes of God. In 3:85 it is mentioned that God will never accept any religion other than Islam. As far as the building of churches or temples is concerned, how can we allow this when their religion is wrong? And when worship is also wrong? Thus we will surely not allow such wrong things in our country.&quot;
-- Dr. Zakir Naik, Islamic speaker and writer on the subject of Islam

&quot;If a Muslim becomes a non-Muslim and propagates his/her new religion, then it is as good as treason. There is a Death Penalty in Islam for such a person.&quot;
-- Dr. Zakir Naik, Islamic speaker

&quot;Every Muslim should be a terrorist.&quot;
-- Dr. Zakir Naik, Islamic speaker

&quot;Oh Allah, strike the apostate rulers,
Oh Allah, kill them one after the other, sparing none.&quot;
-- Abu Musab al Zarqawi, 7 January 2004

&quot;True Islam permits neither elections nor democracy.&quot;
-- Sufi Mohammed, Muslim Cleric

&quot;The honor of Islam lies in insulting the unbelief and the unbelievers (kafirs). One who respects kafirs dishonors Muslims.&quot;
-- Shaykh Ahmad Sirhindi, in a publication by Islamic Jihad

&quot;He who withholds the Jizya is an enemy of Allah and His apostle.&quot;
-- Muhammad, Prophet of Islam

&quot;If the West wants to have peace, then they have to accept Islamic rule.&quot;
-- Abu Bakar Bashir, Muslim Cleric from Indonesia

&quot;We like Mr. Obama, and we hope that he will win the elections.&quot;
-- Ahmed Yousuf, top Gaza Strip political adviser from HAMAS

&quot;Muslims must educate their children to Jihad and to hatred of the Jews, the Christians, and the infidels.&quot;
-- Saudi preacher Sheikh Muhammad Saleh Al-Munajjid

&quot;I could be joking and smiling [with infidels] and then cutting their throats in the next second.&quot;
-- American Muslim Tarik Shah, statement after being arrested for terrorist-related charges

&quot;Arabs, rise as one man and fight for your sacred rights. Kill the Jews wherever you find them. This pleases God, history, and religion. This saves your honor. God is with you. &quot;
-- Hajj Amin al Husseini on German Nazi radio

&quot;I don&#039;t have a choice as Muslim to accept of reject teachings [of the Koran]. I go with what Islam teaches.&quot;
-- Awadh A. Binhazim, Adjunct Professor of Islam at the Divinity School and adviser to the Muslim Student Association at Vanderbilt University, 25 January 2010

&quot;[Under Islamic Law], it [homosexuality] is punishable by death.&quot;
-- Awadh A. Binhazim, Adjunct Professor of Islam at the Divinity School and adviser to the Muslim Student Association at Vanderbilt University, 25 January 2010

&quot;Islam believes that only Islam and the &#039;Camp of Kufur&quot; [unbelief] exist, and that there is no way to reach Paradise... except by walking in the path of our Prophet Muhammad and joining Islam. Any other way leads to Hell... In light of this, my believing brethren, how can it be claimed that Judaism, Christianity, and Islam are all paths leading to Allah?!&quot;

&quot;Two years ago, Israeli Prime Minister Ariel Sharon described the Gaza Strip settlement of Netzarim as a vital part of Israel&#039;s national security and now he is going to leave. That is because of the &#039;effective armed struggle&#039;.&quot;
-- Zahir Muhsein, PLO executive committee member explaining how the Arabs are getting Gaza because of the success of their terrorism campaign

&quot;The Palestinian people does not exist. The creation of a Palestinian state is only a means for continuing our struggle against the state of Israel for our Arab unity. In reality today there is no difference between Jordanians, Palestinians, Syrians and Lebanese. Only for political and tactical reasons do we speak today about the existence of a Palestinian people, since Arab national interests demand that we posit the existence of a distinct &#039;Palestinian people&#039; to oppose Zionism.&quot;
-- Zahir Muhsein, PLO executive committee member

&quot;They are going to leave [Gaza], not because this is a gift from Israel. This is because they failed to confront our people, so don&#039;t describe their withdrawal from here...as a gift for the Palestinians. This is because they are defeated here. HAMAS will never recognize the existence of a Jewish State in the region.&quot;
-- Zahir Muhsein, PLO executive committee member in an interview at his home in Gaza

&quot;We are the Palestinian nation. Our fate from Allah is to be the vanguard in the war against the Jews until the resurrection of the dead. As the prophet Mohammed said: &#039;The resurrection of the dead will not arrive until you will fight the Jews and kill them...&quot;
-- Palestinian Authority Sermon, Palestinian TV, 28 July 2000

&quot;The Jews are the Jews. There never was among them a supporter of peace. They are all liars... the true criminals, the Jewish terrorists, that slaughtered our children, that turned our wives into widows and our children into orphans, and desecrated our holy places. They are terrorists. Therefore it is necessary to slaughter them and murder them, according to the words of Allah... it is forbidden to have mercy in your hearts for the Jews and any place in any land. Make war on them any place that you find yourself. Any place that you encounter them - kill them. Kill the Jews and those among the Americans that are like them... Have no mercy on the Jews, murder them everywhere...&quot;
-- Palestinian TV, 13 October 2000

&quot;A man can marry a girl younger than nine years of age, even if the girl is still a baby being breastfed.

A man having intercourse with a girl younger than nine years of age has not committed a crime, but only an infraction, if the girl is not permanently damaged.

&quot;The Jews invented the legend of the Nazi atrocities... Anyone who reads the Koran and the holy writings of the monotheistic religions sees what they did to the prophets, and what acts of madness and slaughter the Jews carried out throughout history... Anyone who reads these texts cannot think of co-existence with them, of peace with them, or about accepting their presence, not only in Palestine of 1948 but even in a small village in Palestine, because they are a cancer which is liable to spread again at any moment.&quot;
-- Hassan Nasrallah, Leader of Hezbollah

&quot;We have discovered how to hit the Jews where they are the most vulnerable. The Jews love life, so that is what we shall take away from them. We are going to win, because they love life and we love death.&quot;
-- Hassan Nasrallah, Leader of Hezbollah

&quot;Islam is not just a religion. It is a way of life. It&#039;s specific in the Koran that jihad is about fighting. There is no such thing as innocents. The idea of the Islamic state is terror against anyone who doesn&#039;t support Islamic ideology.&quot;
-- A black American convert initially drawn to Islam by admiration for Malcolm X. Reality

-- Louis Farrakhan, Leader of the Nation of Islam and recipient of the &quot;Lifetime Achievement Award&quot; from the Trinity United Church of Christ in Chicago for his &quot;commitment to truth, education and leadership&quot;

&quot;The Jews don&#039;t like Farrakhan, so they call me Hitler. Well, that&#039;s a good name. Hitler was a very great man. He rose Germany up from the ashes.&quot;
-- Louis Farrakhan, Leader of the Nation of Islam, 1984, and recipient of the &quot;Lifetime Achievement Award&quot; from the Trinity United Church of Christ in Chicago for his &quot;commitment to truth, education and leadership&quot;

&quot;The white man is our mortal enemy, and we cannot accept him. I will fight to see that vicious beast go down into the late of fire prepared for him from the beginning, that he never rise again to give any innocent black man, woman or child the hell that he has delighted in pouring on us for 400 years.&quot;

<p>&#8220;I wouldn&#8217;t want to create the impression that I wouldn&#8217;t like the government of the United States to be Islamic sometime in the future.&#8221;<br />
&#8211; Ibrahim Hooper, CAIR&#8217;s current communications director</p>
<p>&#8220;They may say one thing to you in front of CNN but I can assure you behind your backs&#8230; they are standing with their Muslim brother and sisters&#8230; It is an Islamic obligation.&#8221;<br />
&#8211; Imam Anjem Choudary</p>
<p>&#8220;The Shariah is the divine law sent by Allah&#8230; It is justice for mankind&#8230; It is a noble thing to invite someone to a superior way of life.&#8221;<br />

&#8211; Imam Khomeini, the top Shia authority, Tehriro vasyleh, fourth edition, Qom, Iran, 1990</p>
<p>&#8220;The believers in Allah rightly do not dread their enemies and do not fear Jihad, because they see Jihad as a profitable bargain, selling their lives to Allah to get paradise in return. Their enemies protect their own lives, as criminals do. Allah has already said about them: &#8216;You will find that they are the people who protect their own life more than anyone else.&#8217; The believers do not fear the enemy during the struggle and do not protect their lives. Allah has promised them one of two good things: [either] victory or martyrdom&#8230; Yet their enemies protect their lives like a miser protects his money. They do not give their lives easily; they do not enter into battles seeking martyrdom; they do not act in order to attain martyrdom. This is the secret of the believers&#8217; victory over their enemies &#8211; though the believers are few and the polytheists many, with advanced weaponry and equipment.&#8221;<br />
&#8211; Abdallah Al-Naggar, a religious columnist for the Egyptian government daily Al-Gumhuriya</p>
<p>&#8220;Israel has a people&#8217;s army and a draft and therefore they should be considered legitimate targets. They are part of the occupying power, and Palestinians consider them targets for suicide bombers as well as other means.&#8221;<br />
&#8211; Mohamed Elmasry, Imam and President of the Canadian Islamic Congress</p>
<p>&#8220;If they (Jews) all gather in Israel, it will save us the trouble of going after them worldwide.&#8221;<br />
&#8211; Hassan Nasrallah, Secretary-General of Lebanon&#8217;s Hezbollah (or &#8220;Party of God&#8221;), Daily Star, 23 October 2002</p>
<p>&#8220;If we searched the entire world for a person more cowardly, despicable, weak and feeble in psyche, mind, ideology and religion, we would not find anyone like the Jew. Notice, I do not say the Israeli.&#8221;<br />
&#8211; Hassan Nasrallah, Secretary-General of Lebanon&#8217;s Hezbollah (or &#8220;Party of God&#8221;), New Yorker, 14 October 2002</p>
<p>&#8220;One of the central reasons for creating Hezbollah was to challenge the Zionist program in the region. Hezbollah still preserves this principle, and when an Egyptian journalist visited me after the liberation and asked me if the destruction of Israel and the liberation of Palestine and Jerusalem were Hezbollah&#8217;s goal, I replied: &#8216;That is the principal objective of Hezbollah, and it is no less sacred than our ultimate goal. The generation that lived through the creation of this entity is still alive. This generation watches documentaries and reads documents that show that the land conquered was called Palestine, not Israel.&#8217; We face an entity that conquered the land of another people, drove them out of their land, and committed horrendous massacres. As we see, this is an illegal state; it is a cancerous entity and the root of all the crises and wars and cannot be a factor in bringing about a true and just peace in this region. Therefore, we cannot acknowledge the existence of a state called Israel, not even far in the future, as some people have tried to suggest. Time does not cancel the legitimacy of the Palestinian claim.&#8221;<br />
&#8211; Hassan Nasrallah, Secretary-General of Lebanon&#8217;s Hezbollah (or &#8220;Party of God&#8221;), Middle East Quarterly, Fall 2002</p>
<p>&#8220;The second effort was spreading the word among the people, first, in a bid to raise their morale, and second to instil in them a sense of animosity towards the enemy, coupled with a spirit of resistence&#8230; this required us to use the language of indoctrination rather than realpolitik. People then were not in need of political analysis, they were in need of being incited and goaded.&#8221;<br />
&#8211; Hassan Nasrallah, Secretary-General of Lebanon&#8217;s Hezbollah (or &#8220;Party of God&#8221;), Hala Jaber, Hezbollah Born With a Vengeance, Columbia University Press, 1997, pp. 49-50</p>
<p>&#8220;How can death become joyous? How can death become happiness? When Al-Hussein asked his nephew Al-Qassem, when he had not yet reached puberty: &#8216;How do you like the taste of death, son?&#8217; He answered that it was sweeter than honey. How can the foul taste of death become sweeter than honey? Only through conviction, ideology, and faith, through belief, and devotion&#8230; We do not want to&#8230; leave our homeland to Israel&#8230; Therefore, we are not interested in our own personal security. On the contrary, each of us lives his days and nights hoping more than anything to be killed for the sake of Allah.&#8221;<br />
&#8211; Hassan Nasrallah, Secretary-General of Lebanon&#8217;s Hezbollah (or &#8220;Party of God&#8221;), Al-Manar TV , 18-19 Febuary 2005</p>
<p>&#8220;Let the entire world hear me. Our hostility to the Great Satan [America] is absolute&#8230; I conclude my speech with the slogan that will continue to reverberate on all occasions so that nobody will think that we have weakened. Regardless of how the world has changed after 11 September, Death to America will remain our reverberating and powerful slogan: Death to America&#8221;<br />
&#8211; Hassan Nasrallah, Secretary-General of Lebanon&#8217;s Hezbollah (or &#8220;Party of God&#8221;),BBC Monitoring: Al-Manar, 27 September 2002</p>
<p>&#8220;It is our pride that the Great Satan (U.S.) and the head of despotism, corruption and arrogance in modern times considers us as an enemy that should be listed in the terrorism list&#8230;I say to every member of Hezbollah (should) be happy and proud that your party has been placed on the list of terrorist organizations as the U.S. view it&#8221;<br />
&#8211; Hassan Nasrallah, Secretary-General of Lebanon&#8217;s Hezbollah (or &#8220;Party of God&#8221;), United Press International, 4 November 2001</p>
<p>&#8220;Martyrdom operations &#8211; suicide bombings &#8211; should be exported outside Palestine. I encourage Palestinians to take suicide bombings worldwide. Don&#8217;t be shy about it.&#8221;<br />
&#8211; Hassan Nasrallah, Secretary-General of Lebanon&#8217;s Hezbollah (or &#8220;Party of God&#8221;), Washington Times 6 December 2002</p>
<p>&#8220;What else is wrong with &#8216;suicide&#8217; bombing? Legally, less than what one might believe. While it may or may not be good strategy, it appears to be permissable under international law.&#8221;<br />
&#8211; Enver Masud, The Wisdom Fund &#8211; &#8220;What&#8217;s Wrong With Suicide Bombing?&#8221;, 09 May 2002</p>
<p>&#8220;Palestine is occupied land, and under international law, the Palestinians have the legal right to resist this occupation by any and all means. This may make busses, restaurants, discos&#8211;where Israeli military congregate, lawful targets. &#8221;<br />
&#8211; Enver Masud, The Wisdom Fund &#8211; &#8220;What&#8217;s Wrong With Suicide Bombing?&#8221;, 09 May 2002</p>
<p>&#8220;We tell them, in as much as you love life, the Muslim loves death and martyrdom. There is a great difference between he who loves the hereafter and he who loves this world. The Muslim loves death and strives for martyrdom.&#8221;<br />
&#8211; Mufti Sheikh Ikrimeh Sabri, Chief Palestinian Authority Cleric</p>
<p>&#8220;The Jews preached permissiveness and corruption, as they hid behind false slogans like freedom and equality, humanism and brotherhood&#8230; They are cowards in battle&#8230; they flee from death and fear fighting&#8230; They love life.&#8221;<br />
&#8211; Saudi Sheikh Abd Al-Muhsin Al-Qassem in Al-Madina</p>
<p>&#8220;Islam is a revolutionary faith that comes to destroy any government made by man. Islam doesn&#8217;t look for a nation to be in better condition than another nation. Islam doesn&#8217;t care about the land or who own the land. The goal of Islam is to rule the entire world and submit all of mankind to the faith of Islam. Any nation or power in this world that tries to get in the way of that goal, Islam will fight and destroy.&#8221;<br />
&#8211; Mawlana Abul Ala Mawdudi, founder of Pakistan&#8217;s Fundamentalist Movement</p>
<p>&#8220;As far as the matters of religion are concerned we know for sure that only Islam is the true religion in the eyes of God. In 3:85 it is mentioned that God will never accept any religion other than Islam. As far as the building of churches or temples is concerned, how can we allow this when their religion is wrong? And when worship is also wrong? Thus we will surely not allow such wrong things in our country.&#8221;<br />
&#8211; Dr. Zakir Naik, Islamic speaker and writer on the subject of Islam</p>
<p>&#8220;If a Muslim becomes a non-Muslim and propagates his/her new religion, then it is as good as treason. There is a Death Penalty in Islam for such a person.&#8221;<br />
&#8211; Dr. Zakir Naik, Islamic speaker</p>
<p>&#8220;Every Muslim should be a terrorist.&#8221;<br />
&#8211; Dr. Zakir Naik, Islamic speaker</p>
<p>&#8220;Oh Allah, strike the apostate rulers,<br />
Oh Allah, kill them one after the other, sparing none.&#8221;<br />
&#8211; Abu Musab al Zarqawi, 7 January 2004</p>
<p>&#8220;True Islam permits neither elections nor democracy.&#8221;<br />
&#8211; Sufi Mohammed, Muslim Cleric</p>
<p>&#8220;The honor of Islam lies in insulting the unbelief and the unbelievers (kafirs). One who respects kafirs dishonors Muslims.&#8221;<br />
&#8211; Shaykh Ahmad Sirhindi, in a publication by Islamic Jihad</p>
<p>&#8220;He who withholds the Jizya is an enemy of Allah and His apostle.&#8221;<br />
&#8211; Muhammad, Prophet of Islam</p>
<p>&#8220;If the West wants to have peace, then they have to accept Islamic rule.&#8221;<br />
&#8211; Abu Bakar Bashir, Muslim Cleric from Indonesia</p>
<p>&#8220;We like Mr. Obama, and we hope that he will win the elections.&#8221;<br />
&#8211; Ahmed Yousuf, top Gaza Strip political adviser from HAMAS</p>
<p>&#8220;Muslims must educate their children to Jihad and to hatred of the Jews, the Christians, and the infidels.&#8221;<br />
&#8211; Saudi preacher Sheikh Muhammad Saleh Al-Munajjid</p>
<p>&#8220;I could be joking and smiling [with infidels] and then cutting their throats in the next second.&#8221;<br />
&#8211; American Muslim Tarik Shah, statement after being arrested for terrorist-related charges</p>
<p>&#8220;Arabs, rise as one man and fight for your sacred rights. Kill the Jews wherever you find them. This pleases God, history, and religion. This saves your honor. God is with you. &#8221;<br />
&#8211; Hajj Amin al Husseini on German Nazi radio</p>
<p>&#8220;I don&#8217;t have a choice as Muslim to accept of reject teachings [of the Koran]. I go with what Islam teaches.&#8221;<br />
&#8211; Awadh A. Binhazim, Adjunct Professor of Islam at the Divinity School and adviser to the Muslim Student Association at Vanderbilt University, 25 January 2010</p>
<p>&#8220;[Under Islamic Law], it [homosexuality] is punishable by death.&#8221;<br />
&#8211; Awadh A. Binhazim, Adjunct Professor of Islam at the Divinity School and adviser to the Muslim Student Association at Vanderbilt University, 25 January 2010</p>
<p>&#8220;Christianity does consider homosexuality sinful, and Christians pray for homosexuals because of it, while Islamic law says they should be punished with death. See the difference?&#8221;<br />
&#8211; Awadh A. Binhazim, Adjunct Professor of Islam at the Divinity School and adviser to the Muslim Student Association at Vanderbilt University</p>
<p>&#8220;Christians are infidels, enemies of Allah, his Messenger, and the believers.&#8221;<br />
&#8211; Saudi Sheikh Marzouq Salem Al-Ghamdi</p>
<p>&#8220;Islam believes that only Islam and the &#8216;Camp of Kufur&#8221; [unbelief] exist, and that there is no way to reach Paradise&#8230; except by walking in the path of our Prophet Muhammad and joining Islam. Any other way leads to Hell&#8230; In light of this, my believing brethren, how can it be claimed that Judaism, Christianity, and Islam are all paths leading to Allah?!&#8221;<br />
&#8211; Saudi Sheikh Adnan Ahmad Siyami, at a mosque in Mecca, 11 May 2001</p>
<p>&#8220;What makes Allah happy? Allah is happy when non-Muslims get killed.&#8221;<br />
&#8211; Abu Hamza al-Masn, former leader of Supporters of Shariah</p>
<p>&#8220;Our thanks go to the late Hitler who wrought, in advance, the vengeance of the Palestinians upon the most despicable villains on the face of the earth. However, we rebuke Hitler for the fact that the vengeance was insufficient.&#8221;<br />
&#8211; al-Akhbar, Egypt&#8217;s second largest newspaper</p>
<p>&#8220;Two years ago, Israeli Prime Minister Ariel Sharon described the Gaza Strip settlement of Netzarim as a vital part of Israel&#8217;s national security and now he is going to leave. That is because of the &#8216;effective armed struggle&#8217;.&#8221;<br />
&#8211; Zahir Muhsein, PLO executive committee member explaining how the Arabs are getting Gaza because of the success of their terrorism campaign</p>
<p>&#8220;The Palestinian people does not exist. The creation of a Palestinian state is only a means for continuing our struggle against the state of Israel for our Arab unity. In reality today there is no difference between Jordanians, Palestinians, Syrians and Lebanese. Only for political and tactical reasons do we speak today about the existence of a Palestinian people, since Arab national interests demand that we posit the existence of a distinct &#8216;Palestinian people&#8217; to oppose Zionism.&#8221;<br />
&#8211; Zahir Muhsein, PLO executive committee member</p>
<p>&#8220;They are going to leave [Gaza], not because this is a gift from Israel. This is because they failed to confront our people, so don&#8217;t describe their withdrawal from here&#8230;as a gift for the Palestinians. This is because they are defeated here. HAMAS will never recognize the existence of a Jewish State in the region.&#8221;<br />
&#8211; Zahir Muhsein, PLO executive committee member in an interview at his home in Gaza</p>
<p>&#8220;We are the Palestinian nation. Our fate from Allah is to be the vanguard in the war against the Jews until the resurrection of the dead. As the prophet Mohammed said: &#8216;The resurrection of the dead will not arrive until you will fight the Jews and kill them&#8230;&#8221;<br />
&#8211; Palestinian Authority Sermon, Palestinian TV, 28 July 2000</p>
<p>&#8220;The Jews are the Jews. There never was among them a supporter of peace. They are all liars&#8230; the true criminals, the Jewish terrorists, that slaughtered our children, that turned our wives into widows and our children into orphans, and desecrated our holy places. They are terrorists. Therefore it is necessary to slaughter them and murder them, according to the words of Allah&#8230; it is forbidden to have mercy in your hearts for the Jews and any place in any land. Make war on them any place that you find yourself. Any place that you encounter them &#8211; kill them. Kill the Jews and those among the Americans that are like them&#8230; Have no mercy on the Jews, murder them everywhere&#8230;&#8221;<br />
&#8211; Palestinian TV, 13 October 2000</p>
<p>&#8220;Of course Americans should vote Democrat.&#8221;<br />
&#8211; Jihad Jaara, a senior member of the Al Aqsa Martyrs Brigades terror group, and infamous leader of the 2002 siege of Bethlehem&#8217;s Church of the Nativity, WorldNetDaily.com Friday, November 3, 2006</p>
<p>&#8220;We plan to eliminate the state of Israel and establish a purely Palestinian state. We will make life unbearable for Jews by psychological warfare and population explosion&#8230; We Palestinians will take over everything, including all of Jerusalem.&#8221;<br />
&#8211; Yasser Arafat, Leader of the PLO</p>
<p>&#8220;Martyrs, martyrs, martyrs,&#8230; we want a million martyrs to march on Jerusalem.&#8221;<br />
&#8211; Yasser Arafat, Leader of the PLO, 2002</p>
<p>&#8220;I come bearing an olive branch in one hand, and the freedom fighter&#8217;s gun in the other. Do not let the olive branch fall from my hand.&#8221;<br />
&#8211; Yasser Arafat, Leader of the PLO</p>
<p>&#8220;Peace for us means the destruction of Israel.&#8221;<br />
&#8211; Yasser Arafat, Leader of the PLO, 1980</p>
<p>&#8220;A man can marry a girl younger than nine years of age, even if the girl is still a baby being breastfed. A man, however is prohibited from having intercourse with a girl younger than nine, other sexual acts such as foreplay, rubbing, kissing and sodomy is allowed. A man having intercourse with a girl younger than nine years of age has not committed a crime, but only an infraction, if the girl is not permanently damaged. If the girl, however, is permanently damaged, the man must provide for her all her life. But this girl will not count as one of the man&#8217;s four permanent wives. He also is not permitted to marry the girl&#8217;s sister.&#8221;<br />
&#8211; Ayatollah Khomeini of Iran quoting from a fatwa</p>
<p>&#8220;A man can have sexual pleasure from a child as young as a baby. However, he should not penetrate; sodomising the child is OK. If the man penetrates and damages the child then he should be responsible for her subsistence all her life. This girl, however, does not count as one of his four permanent wives. The man will not be eligible to marry the girl&#8217;s sister.&#8221;<br />
&#8211; Ayatollah Khomeini&#8217;s book, Tahrirolvasyleh, vol. 4, Darol Elm, Gom, Iran, 1990</p>
<p>&#8220;It is better for a girl to marry in such a time when she would begin menstruation at her husband&#8217;s house rather than her father&#8217;s home. Any father marrying his daughter so young will have a permanent place in heaven.&#8221;<br />
&#8211; Ayatollah Khomeini&#8217;s book, Tahrirolvasyleh, vol. 4, Darol Elm, Gom, Iran, 1990</p>
<p>&#8220;A man can have sex with animals such as sheeps, cows, camels and so on. However, he should kill the animal after he has his orgasm. He should not sell the meat to the people in his own village; however, selling the meat to the next door village should be fine.&#8221;<br />
&#8211; Ayatollah Khomeini&#8217;s book, Tahrirolvasyleh, vol. 4, Darol Elm, Gom, Iran, 1990</p>
<p>&#8220;The rulling to kill the Americans and their allies &#8211; civilians and military &#8211; is an individual duty for every Muslim who can do it in anyh country in which it is possible to do it&#8230; to comply iwth God&#8217;s order to kill the Americnns and plunder their money wherever and whenever they find it. We also call on Muslim ulema, leaders, youths, and soldiers to launch the raid on Satan&#8217;s U.S. troops and the devil&#8217;s supporters allying with them&#8230;&#8221;<br />
&#8211; Osama Bin Laden, Leader of al-Qaeda, Jihad Against Jews and Crusaders, 1998</p>
<p>&#8220;In compliance with God&#8217;s order, we issue the following fatwah [ruling on Islamic law] to all Muslims: The ruling to kill the Americans and their allies &#8211; Civilians and military &#8211; is an individual duty for every Muslim who can do it in any country in which it is possible to do it&#8230; to comply with God&#8217;s order to kill the Americans and plunder their money wherever and whenever they find it. We also call on Muslim ulema, leaders, youths, and soldiers to launch the raid on Satan&#8217;s U.S troops and the devil&#8217;s supporters allying with them&#8230;&#8221;<br />
&#8211; Osama Bin Laden, Leader of al-Qaeda, Jihad Against Jews and Crusaders, 1998</p>
<p>&#8220;We say our terror against America is blessed terror in order to put an end to suppression, in order for the United States to stop its support to Israel.&#8221;<br />
&#8211; Osama Bin Laden, Leader of al-Qaeda</p>
<p>&#8220;Every Muslim, from the moment they realize the distinction in their hearts, hates Americans, hates Jews and hates Christians. For as long as I can remember, I have felt tormented and at war, and have felt hatred and animosity for Americans.&#8221;<br />
&#8211; Osama Bin Laden, Leader of al-Qaeda</p>
<p>&#8220;We do not have homosexuals in Iran like you do [in America].&#8221;<br />
&#8211; Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, Iranian President, speaking at Columbia University on 24 September 2007, responding to the question why Iran executes homosexuals</p>
<p>&#8220;There is no doubt that the new wave [of attacks] in Palestine will wipe off this stigma [Israel] from the face of the Islamic world.&#8221;<br />
&#8211; Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, Iranian President elected June 2005</p>
<p>&#8220;The accomplishment of a world without America and Israel is both possible and feasible.&#8221;<br />
&#8211; Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, Iranian President</p>
<p>&#8220;Israel must be wiped off the map.&#8221;<br />
&#8211; Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, Iranian President, 2005</p>
<p>&#8220;Anybody who recognizes Israel will burn in the fire of the Islamic nation&#8217;s fury.&#8221;<br />
&#8211; Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, Iranian President</p>
<p>&#8220;O Allah, destroy America, as it is controlled by Zionist Jews&#8230; Allah will avenge, in the name of His Prophet, the colonist settlers who are the descendents of monkeys and pigs&#8230;&#8221;<br />
&#8211; Ikrime Sabri, Mufti of the Palestinian Authority, weekly sermon in the al-Aqsa Mosque in Jerusalem, Voice of Palestine, 11 July 1997</p>
<p>&#8220;The Jews are a cancer which is liable to spread again at any moment.&#8221;<br />
&#8211; Hassan Nasrallah, Leader of Hezbollah</p>
<p>&#8220;There is no solution to the conflict except with the disappearance of Israel.&#8221;<br />
&#8211; Hassan Nasrallah, Leader of Hezbollah</p>
<p>&#8220;If they all gather in Israel, it will save us the trouble of going after them worldwide.&#8221;<br />
&#8211; Hassan Nasrallah, Leader of Hezbollah</p>
<p>&#8220;Put a knife in your shirt, get close to an Israeli occupier and stab him.&#8221;<br />
&#8211; Hassan Nasrallah, Leader of Hezbollah</p>
<p>&#8220;Let the entire world hear me. Our hostility to the Great Satan [America] is absolute.&#8221;<br />
&#8211; Hassan Nasrallah, Leader of Hezbollah</p>
<p>&#8220;I encourage Palestinians to take suicide bombings worldwide. Don&#8217;t be shy about it.&#8221;<br />
&#8211; Hassan Nasrallah, Leader of Hezbollah</p>
<p>&#8220;The Jews invented the legend of the Nazi atrocities&#8230; Anyone who reads the Koran and the holy writings of the monotheistic religions sees what they did to the prophets, and what acts of madness and slaughter the Jews carried out throughout history&#8230; Anyone who reads these texts cannot think of co-existence with them, of peace with them, or about accepting their presence, not only in Palestine of 1948 but even in a small village in Palestine, because they are a cancer which is liable to spread again at any moment.&#8221;<br />
&#8211; Hassan Nasrallah, Leader of Hezbollah</p>
<p>&#8220;We have discovered how to hit the Jews where they are the most vulnerable. The Jews love life, so that is what we shall take away from them. We are going to win, because they love life and we love death.&#8221;<br />
&#8211; Hassan Nasrallah, Leader of Hezbollah</p>
<p>&#8220;Israel is our enemy. This is an aggressive, illegal, and illegitimate entity, which has no future in our land. Its destiny is manifested in our motto: &#8216;Death to Israel.&#8217;&#8221;<br />
&#8211; Hassan Nasrallah, Leader of Hezbollah</p>
<p>&#8220;I am against any reconciliation with Israel. I do not even recognize the presence of a state that is called &#8220;Israel.&#8221; I consider its presence both unjust and unlawful.&#8221;<br />
&#8211; Hassan Nasrallah, Leader of Hezbollah</p>
<p>&#8220;For example, a few years ago, a great French philosopher, Roger Garaudy, wrote a scientific book. He did not offend, curse, or insult anyone. He wrote a scientific research of an academic nature, in which he discussed the alleged Jewish Holocaust in Germany. He proved that this Holocaust is a myth.&#8221;<br />
&#8211; Hassan Nasrallah, Leader of Hezbollah</p>
<p>&#8220;Martyrdom operations &#8211; suicide bombings &#8211; should be exported outside Palestine. I encourage Palestinians to take suicide bombings worldwide. Don&#8217;t be shy about it.&#8221;<br />
&#8211; Hassan Nasrallah, Leader of Hezbollah</p>
<p>&#8220;Our motto, which we are not afraid to repeat year after year, is &#8216;Death to America&#8217;!&#8221;<br />
&#8211; Hassan Nasrallah, Leader of Hezbollah</p>
<p>&#8220;Let the entire world hear me. Our hostility to the Great Satan [America] is absolute&#8230; Regardless of how the world has changed after 11 September, Death to America will remain our reverberating and powerful slogan: Death to America.&#8221;<br />
&#8211; Hassan Nasrallah, Leader of Hezbollah</p>
<p>&#8220;Islam is not just a religion. It is a way of life. It&#8217;s specific in the Koran that jihad is about fighting. There is no such thing as innocents. The idea of the Islamic state is terror against anyone who doesn&#8217;t support Islamic ideology.&#8221;<br />
&#8211; A black American convert initially drawn to Islam by admiration for Malcolm X. Reality</p>
<p>&#8220;All you Jews can go straight to hell.&#8221;<br />
&#8211; Quannell X, National Youth minister for the Nation Of Islam, New York Daily News, October 17, 1995</p>
<p>&#8220;White people are potential humans, they haven&#8217;t evolved yet.&#8221;<br />
&#8211; Louis Farrakhan, Leader of the Nation of Islam and recipient of the &#8220;Lifetime Achievement Award&#8221; from the Trinity United Church of Christ in Chicago for his &#8220;commitment to truth, education and leadership&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;America must be burned! America is no good at all.&#8221;<br />
&#8211; Louis Farrakhan, Leader of the Nation of Islam and recipient of the &#8220;Lifetime Achievement Award&#8221; from the Trinity United Church of Christ in Chicago for his &#8220;commitment to truth, education and leadership&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;Many of the Jews who owned the homes, the apartments in the black community, we considered them bloodsuckers because they took from our community and built their community but didn&#8217;t offer anything back to our community.&#8221;<br />
&#8211; Louis Farrakhan, Leader of the Nation of Islam and recipient of the &#8220;Lifetime Achievement Award&#8221; from the Trinity United Church of Christ in Chicago for his &#8220;commitment to truth, education and leadership&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;The Jews don&#8217;t like Farrakhan, so they call me Hitler. Well, that&#8217;s a good name. Hitler was a very great man. He rose Germany up from the ashes.&#8221;<br />
&#8211; Louis Farrakhan, Leader of the Nation of Islam, 1984, and recipient of the &#8220;Lifetime Achievement Award&#8221; from the Trinity United Church of Christ in Chicago for his &#8220;commitment to truth, education and leadership&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;The white man is our mortal enemy, and we cannot accept him. I will fight to see that vicious beast go down into the late of fire prepared for him from the beginning, that he never rise again to give any innocent black man, woman or child the hell that he has delighted in pouring on us for 400 years.&#8221;<br />
&#8211; Louis Farrakhan, City College audience in New York, Leader of the Nation of Islam, 1984, and recipient of the &#8220;Lifetime Achievement Award&#8221; from the Trinity United Church of Christ in Chicago for his &#8220;commitment to truth, education and leadership&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;The death of over 120 white people is a very beautiful thing.&#8221;<br />
&#8211; Malcolm X, Los Angeles on June 3, 1962 upon learning of a plane crash</p>

		<description>&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.zimbio.com/Islam/articles/538/Obama+Will+Speak+Truth+Koran+Says&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;Obama&#039;s truth is based on the Koran: &lt;/a&gt;

&lt;strong&gt;The Ouran tells the Muslims it is permissible to lie to infidels.&lt;/strong&gt;

 If you are not a Muslim, you are an infidel. The Quran teaches hatred and Muslims children are raised to believe all infidels must die:

Quran 4:89: “They (infidels) desire that you should disbelieve as they have disbelieved, so that you might be (all) alike; therefore take not from among them friends until they fly (their homes) in Allah’s way; but if they turn back, then seize them and kill them wherever you find them, and take not from among them a friend or a helper.”

Quran 8:12: “Instill terror into the hearts of the unbelievers;”

Quran 2:191: “… kill the disbelievers wherever we find them …”

Quran 22:19-22: “… for them (the unbelievers) garments of fire shall be cut and there shall be poured over their heads boiling water whereby whatever is in their bowels and skin shall be dissolved and they will be punished with hooked iron rods.”

Quran 8:12: “Your Lord inspired the angels with the message: ‘I will terrorize the unbelievers. Therefore smite them on their necks and every joint and incapacitate them. Strike off their heads and cut off each of their fingers and toes.’”

Quran 8:7: “Allah wished to confirm the truth by His words: ‘Wipe the infidels out to the last.’”

Quran 8:59: “The infidels should not think that they can get away from us. Prepare against them whatever arms and weaponry you can muster so that you may terrorize them. They are your enemy and Allah’s enemy.”

Quran 8:60: “Prepare against them whatever arms and cavalry you can muster that you may strike terror in the enemies of Allah, and others besides them not known to you.”

Quran 9.29? “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 47:4: “Strike off the heads of the disbelievers” and, after making a “wide slaughter among them, carefully tie up the remaining captives.”

Hadith Sahih Muslim (41:6985): “Abu Huraira reported Allah’s Messenger (may peace be upon him) as saying: ‘The last hour would not come unless the Muslims will fight against the Jews and the Muslims would kill them until the Jews would hide themselves behind a stone or a tree and a stone or a tree would say: Muslim, the servant of Allah, there is a Jew behind me; come and kill him; but the tree Gharqad would not say, for it is the tree of the Jews.’”

Quran 9:5: “When the sacred forbidden months for fighting are past, fight and kill the disbelievers wherever you find them, take them captive, torture them, and lie in wait and ambush them using every stratagem of war.”

Sura 3:151: “Soon shall We cast terror into the hearts of the unbelievers for that they joined companions with Allah for which He had sent no authority: their abode will be the fire; and evil is the home of the wrong-doers!”

Sura 8:60: “Against them make ready your strength to the utmost of your power including steeds of war to strike terror into (the hearts of) the enemies of Allah and your enemies and others besides whom ye may not know but whom Allah doth know. Whatever ye shall spend in the cause of Allah shall be repaid unto you and ye shall not be treated unjustly.”

Tabari IX:113: “Allah permits you to shut them (women) in separate rooms and to beat them, but not severely. If they abstain, they have the right to food and clothing. Treat women well for they are like domestic animals and they possess nothing themselves. Allah has made the enjoyment of their bodies lawful in his Quran.”

Tabari I:280: “Allah said, ‘It is My obligation to make Eve bleed once every month as she made this tree bleed. I must also make Eve stupid, although I created her intelligent.’ Because Allah afflicted Eve, all of the women of this world menstruate and are stupid.”

Ishaq:327: “Allah said, ‘A prophet must slaughter before collecting captives. A slaughtered enemy is driven from the land. Muhammad, you craved the desires of this world, its goods and the ransom captives would bring. But Allah desires killing them to manifest the religion.’”

Do you need more of a proof?</description>

<p>Quran 4:89: “They (infidels) desire that you should disbelieve as they have disbelieved, so that you might be (all) alike; therefore take not from among them friends until they fly (their homes) in Allah’s way; but if they turn back, then seize them and kill them wherever you find them, and take not from among them a friend or a helper.”</p>
<p>Quran 8:12: “Instill terror into the hearts of the unbelievers;”</p>
<p>Quran 2:191: “… kill the disbelievers wherever we find them …”</p>
<p>Quran 22:19-22: “… for them (the unbelievers) garments of fire shall be cut and there shall be poured over their heads boiling water whereby whatever is in their bowels and skin shall be dissolved and they will be punished with hooked iron rods.”</p>
<p>Quran 8:12: “Your Lord inspired the angels with the message: ‘I will terrorize the unbelievers. Therefore smite them on their necks and every joint and incapacitate them. Strike off their heads and cut off each of their fingers and toes.’”</p>
<p>Quran 8:7: “Allah wished to confirm the truth by His words: ‘Wipe the infidels out to the last.’”</p>
<p>Quran 8:59: “The infidels should not think that they can get away from us. Prepare against them whatever arms and weaponry you can muster so that you may terrorize them. They are your enemy and Allah’s enemy.”</p>
<p>Quran 8:60: “Prepare against them whatever arms and cavalry you can muster that you may strike terror in the enemies of Allah, and others besides them not known to you.”</p>
<p>Quran 9.29? “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.”</p>
<p>Quran 47:4: “Strike off the heads of the disbelievers” and, after making a “wide slaughter among them, carefully tie up the remaining captives.”</p>
<p>Hadith Sahih Muslim (41:6985): “Abu Huraira reported Allah’s Messenger (may peace be upon him) as saying: ‘The last hour would not come unless the Muslims will fight against the Jews and the Muslims would kill them until the Jews would hide themselves behind a stone or a tree and a stone or a tree would say: Muslim, the servant of Allah, there is a Jew behind me; come and kill him; but the tree Gharqad would not say, for it is the tree of the Jews.’”</p>
<p>Quran 9:5: “When the sacred forbidden months for fighting are past, fight and kill the disbelievers wherever you find them, take them captive, torture them, and lie in wait and ambush them using every stratagem of war.”</p>
<p>Sura 3:151: “Soon shall We cast terror into the hearts of the unbelievers for that they joined companions with Allah for which He had sent no authority: their abode will be the fire; and evil is the home of the wrong-doers!”</p>
<p>Sura 8:60: “Against them make ready your strength to the utmost of your power including steeds of war to strike terror into (the hearts of) the enemies of Allah and your enemies and others besides whom ye may not know but whom Allah doth know. Whatever ye shall spend in the cause of Allah shall be repaid unto you and ye shall not be treated unjustly.”</p>
<p>Tabari IX:113: “Allah permits you to shut them (women) in separate rooms and to beat them, but not severely. If they abstain, they have the right to food and clothing. Treat women well for they are like domestic animals and they possess nothing themselves. Allah has made the enjoyment of their bodies lawful in his Quran.”</p>
<p>Tabari I:280: “Allah said, ‘It is My obligation to make Eve bleed once every month as she made this tree bleed. I must also make Eve stupid, although I created her intelligent.’ Because Allah afflicted Eve, all of the women of this world menstruate and are stupid.”</p>
<p>Ishaq:327: “Allah said, ‘A prophet must slaughter before collecting captives. A slaughtered enemy is driven from the land. Muhammad, you craved the desires of this world, its goods and the ransom captives would bring. But Allah desires killing them to manifest the religion.’”</p>
<p>Do you need more of a proof?</p>

		<description>&lt;strong&gt;Jihad 101&lt;/strong&gt;

The following article was written in 1994, by someone who had done their homework.

http://www.ewtn.com/library/ISSUES/GUERRA.HTM

FROM &quot;COLD WAR&quot; TO GUERRA FRIA?
Patrick L. Moore.

Excerpts.

&quot;There are five especially critical aspects about Islam&#039;s doctrine of jihad which must be brought out to properly understand the significance of Islam as it relates to the United States and the West.

&quot;In summary, the meaning of jihad in its primary sense is military and coercive;

&quot;it is central to the universalist doctrine of the Islamic belief system;

&quot;its operational aim is political domination of non-Islamic territories (i.e. rather than forced conversion);

&quot;it is offensive or aggressive in nature in the first instance (and not merely &quot;defensive&quot;);

&quot;and, finally, jihad is continuous in character (i.e. pending the ultimate victory of the forces of Islam).&quot;

&quot;jihad is primarily &quot;military&quot; in character.

&quot;The term jihad has both a common and a legal meaning - but its legal meaning has become the primary definition. In its common (rather than technical) meaning it describes a state of effort or striving, in the sense of &quot;exerting oneself as much as one can.&quot;

&quot;However, jihad in its legal sense (as adopted by Islam in application to the formal relations between Muslim and non-Muslim peoples) is defined (according to historically attested Islamic authorities) as, e.g. &quot;fighting the unbelievers by striking them, taking their property, demolishing their places of worship, smashing their idols and the like.&quot;

{Hence the Islamic penchant for seeking out all places special to, and beloved by, non-Muslims - dda: such as, for example, Westminster Abbey}.

&quot;Whenever the term jihad is used without qualification (as when Arafat first used it in his un-&quot;clarified&quot; comments in South Africa) it always means the &quot;jihad of the Sword,&quot; i.e. &quot;fighting the unbelievers for religion&#039;s sake&quot;.

&quot;...jihad is not a peripheral or subsidiary doctrine of Islam (as is the &quot;Just War&quot; theory of Christendom). jihad is actually at the active center, the core, the ratio and raison d&#039;etre of Islam.

&quot; It has sometimes been called the &quot;sixth&quot; pillar of Islam, the unnamed key-stone resting on the explicitly named &quot;five pillars&quot; or essentials, i.e.: profession of the faith (Shahada), ritual prayer (Salat), fasting in Ramadan (Sawm), pilgrimage to Mecca (Hajj) and almsgiving (Zakat).

&quot; Above all, jihad is the enabling mechanism, the method of choice, for the announced goal of Islamic universalism.

&quot;It is the &quot;name&quot; for the duty of a striving Islamic universalism itself. jihad, in its primary military/ideological sense, is the mandated vehicle of Islamic &quot;universalism&quot; (i.e. the religious claim that Islam is the true faith to whose temporal as well as spiritual authority the whole world must submit).&quot;

&quot;Islam itself means &quot;submission&quot; while &quot;Muslim&quot; means one who has submitted&quot; to the will of Allah.

&quot; The initial operational goal of Islamic universalism, its missionary extension into the lands of unbelief, is the political subjugation of the non-Islamic world.

&quot; Islam requires Muslims to strive to impose Muslim rule on the non-Muslim world in order to, in effect, make the world safe for Islam—i.e. the enforcement of Shari`a or divine law.

&quot; jihad should not mistakenly be confused with forced conversion— which is not allowed under Islam.

&quot; Forced conversion is not the purpose of jihad, but rather its aim is political conquest and control.

&quot;The warriors of Islam had as their immediate concern the subjugation, rather than conversion, of the unbelievers.&quot;...

More:

&quot;...cited Islamic causes for initiating war include showing hostility, opposition to the mission of Islam or contempt for it (which are all religious reasons in the nature of refusing a call to convert or submit to the forces of Islam or failing to treat Islamic missionaries with respect) and, therefore, resistance to Islamic universalism or lack of respect for the Islamic faith or its mission is classically considered a casus belli or aggression against Islam&quot;.

(In other words: saying NO to Islam, or criticising Islam, makes you a target of Jihad - dda).

&quot;Under the belief system of classical, orthodox Islam, a Muslim cannot be genuinely free or exercise &quot;freedom of religion&quot; unless he is in command of society.

&quot;Therefore, the duty of the Muslim is to strive in all ways to expand Islam and to subjugate the non-Islamic world to Islamic power.

&quot;Until that happens, the world is divided into two: the House of Islam (dar al-Islam), where Muslims rule and the law of Islam prevails; and the House of War (dar al-Harb), comprising the rest of the world.

&quot;Between the two there is a morally necessary, legally and religiously obligatory state of war, until the final and inevitable triumph of Islam over unbelief.&quot;

&quot; Offensive (expansionary) military jihad is the constant duty of the community as a whole while strictly defensive jihad becomes a personal and particular obligation as well.

&quot;** Even when it is defensive, however, it is not always so in the sense we have come to define that word** {my emphasis - dda}.

&#039;Finally, jihad is and must be permanent. jihad is &quot;a permanent obligation upon the entire Muslim community.

&quot; It may pass into periods of dormancy but the obligation of jihad can never end short of the complete subjugation of the non- Muslim world.&quot;...

&#039;Treaties can never be more than truces.

&#039; Always and at some level, Islam is at war with the non-Islamic world.

&#039; While there may be an interruption of open hostilities between the West (or any other non-muslim territory) and Islam in specific cases, or even a &quot;peace&quot; with Muslims who choose not to adhere to traditional Islamic teaching in this regard, there can never be peace between unbelievers and Islam, i.e. orthodox, historical Islam.

&#039; In fact, under the orthodox Islamic doctrine of jihad, relations between the House of Islam (Islamic territory) and the House of War (territories of unsubjugated unbelievers) can never ameliorate past the level of low- intensity conflict or Islamic &quot;insurgency&quot; against the infidels.&#039;

Etc.

And Jacques Ellul, writing in July 1991, the foreword to the English edition of &lt;strong&gt;&quot;The Decline of Eastern Christianity Under Islam&quot;.&lt;/strong&gt;

http://www.dhimmi.org/Foreword.html

&#039;A major, twofold fact transforms the jihad into something quite different from traditional wars, waged for ambition and self-interest, with limited objectives, where the &quot;normal&quot; situation is peace between peoples - war, in itself, constituting a dramatic event which must end in a return to peace.

&#039; This twofold factor is first the religious nature, then the fact that war has become an institution (and no longer an &quot;event&quot;).

&#039;Jihad is generally translated as &quot;holy war&quot; (this term is not satisfactory): and this suggests both that this war is provoked by strong religious feeling, and then that its first object is not so much to conquer land as to Islamize the populations.

&#039;This war is a religious duty.

&#039;It will probably be said that every religion in its expanding phase carries the risks of war, that history records hundreds of religious wars and it is now a commonplace to make this connection. Hence, religious passion is thus sometimes expressed in this manner. But it is, in fact, &quot;passion&quot; - it concerns mainly a fact which it would be easy to demonstrate does not correspond to the fundamental message of the religion.

&#039;This disjuncture is obvious for Christianity.

&#039;In Islam, on the contrary, jihad is a religious obligation.

&#039; It forms part of the duties that the believer must fulfil; it is Islam&#039;s normal path to expansion. And this is found repeatedly dozens of times in the Koran.

&#039;Therefore, the believer is not denying the religious message. Quite the reverse, jihad is the way he best obeys it.

&#039;And the facts which are recorded meticulously and analyzed clearly [by Bat Yeor] show that the jihad is not a &quot;spiritual war&quot; but a real military war of conquest.

&#039; It expresses the agreement between the &quot;fundamental book&quot; and the believers&#039; practical strivings.

&#039;But Bat Ye&#039;or shows that things are not so simple. Since the jihad is not solely an external war, it can break out within the Muslim world itself - and wars among Muslims have been numerous, but always with the same features.

&#039;Hence, the second important specific characteristic is that the jihad is an institution and not an event, that is to say it is part of the normal functioning of the Muslim world.

&#039;It is most essential to grasp that the jihad is an institution in itself; that is to say, an organic piece of Muslim society.

&#039;As a religious duty, it fits into the religious organization, like pilgrimages, and so on. However, this is not the essential factor, which derives from the division of the world in the (religious) thought of Islam.

&#039;The world, as Bat Ye&#039;or brilliantly shows, is divided into two regions: the dar al-Islam and the dar al-harb, in other words: the &quot;domain of Islam&quot; and &quot;the domain of war&quot;.

&#039;The world is no longer divided into nations, peoples, tribes. Rather, they are all located en bloc in the world of war, where war is the only possible relationship with the outside world.

&#039;The earth belongs to Allah and all its inhabitants must acknowledge this reality; to achieve this goal there is but one method: war.

&#039;War, then, is clearly an institution, not just an incidental or fortuitous institution, but a constituent part of the thought, the organization and the structures of this world.

&#039;Peace with this world of war is impossible.

&#039;Of course, it is sometimes necessary to call a halt; there are circumstances where it is better not to make war. The Koran makes provision for this.

&#039;But this changes nothing: war remains an institution, which means that it must resume as soon as circumstances permit.

&#039;I have greatly stressed the characteristics of this war, because there is so much talk nowadays of the tolerance and fundamental pacifism of Islam that it is necessary to recall its nature, which is fundamentally warlike! &quot;
