United States Becoming Shariah-Compliant


By:  Bryan Fischer, Posted: Thursday, May 7, 2015

“The mere fact they argue Ms. Geller should have known better means they know that Islam is not in fact a religion of peace”

– Bryan Fischer

Let me stipulate up front that drawing caricatures of Muhammad as a form of social commentary is not my style. It’s not something I would do. And it’s not something the American Family Association would be a part of.

That being said, the reaction to Pamela Geller’s “Draw Muhammad” event in Garland, Texas is worrisome and is lurching the U.S. in the direction of becoming an abject, fearful Shariah-compliant nation rather than a proud, bold Christian one.  The issue is simple. Regardless of whether we would enter a contest like the one Ms. Geller sponsored, or even approve of it, the question is this: should somebody be murdered in cold blood for publishing a political cartoon? 

The First Amendment prohibits the federal government and all of its branches from interfering with “the freedom of speech.” By this plank, the Founders intended to protect robust political speech. first-amendment-flag

We as a nation had just emerged from an era in which the Crown sought to suppress and punish any political commentary it didn’t like, and the Founders made a point of ensuring that kind of oppression would not be acceptable in America.

(By the way, the Founders were protecting political speech. They were not protecting pornography, obscenity, vulgarity or even profanity. They would be scandalized at the way in which the First Amendment has been perverted to protect things that would have horrified them.)

The Texas state constitution is equally clear: Every person shall be at liberty to speak, write or publish his opinions on any subject, being responsible for the abuse of that privilege; and no law shall ever be passed curtailing the liberty of speech or of the press. 

This means that, in America, we must all be prepared to listen to political speech that agitates us and offends us. Trust me, this happens to conservatives every day when we read the New York Times and other members of the low-information media. 

Constitutional provisions regarding free speech mean public debate over the nature of Islam is fully protected. The government must protect freedom of robust political debate, and is prohibited from restricting it in any way. The merits of Islam, the truth about Islam, the truth about Muhammad, the question of Muslim immigration, etc. are all proper topics for public discussion.  Such debate includes, as it has since the dawn of the Republic, political cartoons, which were often used to make salient points on a matter of public concern. cropped-different-free-speech-ideologies.jpg

Many voices, on both the left and the right, have condemned Pamela Geller in this circumstance rather than the Muslim shooters. She has been blamed for getting shot at by figures on the right such as Donald Trump and Bill O’Reilly. She has been faulted for going ahead with her event knowing it could possibly trigger Islamic violence.

Such critics do not realize, by the way, what they are saying about the religion of Islam. The mere fact they argue Ms. Geller should have known better means they know that Islam is not in fact a religion of peace no matter how hard they try to convince themselves (and us) otherwise. Liberalism a mental disorder 2

Worse, arguing that no criticism of the prophet should be allowed in America because it might incite violence would in a functional sense place our entire nation under the rule of Shariah law. Christ, the Prophet of Christianity, could freely be criticized, lampooned and cartoon-ized but not Muhammad, the prophet of Islam. America would be turned upside down.

As James Taranto observed in the Wall Street Journal, “In the case at hand, it would effectively make Shariah’s prohibition on images of Muhammad the law of the land. The terrorists really would have won.” 

That’s not the America the Founders bequeathed to us. And it’s not the America we should accept today.OARLogo Picture6

Gay Mafia Targets Christian Pastors, Ignores Muslim Imams Calling For Their Death

Gay MAfiaIn 2015 America, a remnant of faithful Christian pastors, not imams, are being targeted by gay activists. No Christian pastor I know has ever proclaimed or financially supported the beheading of anyone, let alone gays. The “Gay Mafia,” as Bill Maher calls them, are like fools flouting their own folly. They impose standards (that they don’t follow) solely on Christians through discriminatory legal measuresbut completely ignore imams who advocate their death.

Homosexuality is a moral disorder. It is a moral disease, a sin and corruption… No person is born homosexual, just like no one is born a thief, a liar or murderer. People acquire these evil habits due to a lack of proper guidance and education.

There are many reasons why it is forbidden in Islam. Homosexuality is dangerous for the health of the individuals and for the society. It is a main cause of one of the most harmful and fatal diseases … It is the most un-natural way of life. Homosexuality leads to the destruction of family life.

Muslims who follow the Qur’an understand its words as literal, from Allah. The Qur’an states that those who act on same-sex attraction and behavior make a “god (ilah) of there own lusts,” reject Allah’s will, and practice “wickedness” (Qur’an 26.165-166; 27.055; 29.028-29). There is no such thing as a gay Muslim. Nor is there any public acceptance for the gay lifestyle in any Muslim majority country—or in any Muslim neighborhood or no-go zone in a Muslim minority country. According to Shar’ia law, the sodomizer and the sodomized both deserve death. Likewise, the rules and punishment for zina (adultery) are applied to lesbians—death for married, lashes for unmarried.beheadding collection

It is common knowledge throughout the Muslim world that no one can be gay and follow Allah. It is also widely acknowledged that the “people of the book,” Jews and Christians—whose laws actually seek to safeguard human rights—must be killed. Yet, no gays are protesting, subpoenaing, or asserting the arrest, for example, of Imam Abu Ammaar Yasir Qadhi of Memphis, Tenn., who publicly asserts: “Jews and Christians are filthy; their lives and property can be taken in jihad by the Muslims.”against America

Anyone who believes they are immune from the outworking of Islamic ideology does not understand it. Qadhi asserts, according to the Qur’an, that everyone–not only in America, but worldwide– “must bear witness that there is no deity worthy of worship except Allah”; and because of this “principle of monotheism … the prophet has been commanded to do jihad.”

Likewise, Brooklyn, N.Y., Imam Tareq Yousef Al-Masri recently declared at the Oulel-Albab mosque: “We, the Muslims … the Muslims of the religious sector are time bombs.”

These imams are not alone.

According to the Mapping Sharia Project, 51 percent of mosques in America had “texts that either advocated the use of violence in the pursuit of a Shari’a-based political order or advocated violent jihad; another 30 percent had texts that were moderately supportive of violence.” Distribution of anti-Western literature, videos, and textbooks is documented, as are the Islamic centers that operate as front groups for the Muslim Brotherhood.

Imam advocacy for the extermination of non-Muslims has existed in America for decades; yet these imams have not been deported, let alone investigated by the IRS or any other government organization for their alleged constitutional violations.muslim-obama Islamapologist Obama Muslim collection

In 1999, Naqshbandi Sufi Sheikh Muhammad Hisham Kabbani testified in front of the State Department that eighty percent of mosques in America had “extremist leaders.” In 2006, Freedom House’s Center for Religious Freedom exposed widespread dissemination of hate ideology in literature and sermons by mosques nationwide. And in 2007, during the Holy Land Foundation trial, perhaps one of the most important documents discovered—the Muslim Brotherhood’s manifesto—revealed its “General Strategic Goal for the Group in North America” to destroy it from within.

Gays’ civil rights, human rights, or even lives for that matter are irrelevant to imams. If gays want to live, they should consider redirecting their vitriol toward imams who preach their death, and toward a silent—yet active—political and legal system perpetuating and enabling treasonous hate speech to their detriment.OARLogo Picture6
