The Case for a Religious Review Board
http://www.islam-watch.org/authors/48-imani/1245-the-case-for-a-religious-review-board.html
It
is time to establish a Religious Review Board (RRB.) Is this an
outlandishly absurd proposal? Not at all. Serious problems require
equally serious solutions. The call for establishing a Religious Review
Board may be seen as an attempt to curb Islam. The truth is: it is.
Encroaching Islam with its rule of
Sharia presents an imminent threat to subvert and replace the
Constitution that governs our lives. Unlike Muslims who practice
Taqiyyah—lying or dissimulation—I proudly speak the truth. Truth should
never be sacrificed at the altar of any goal. I firmly believe that
truthfulness is indeed the foundation of all virtues.
As things stand now, numerous boards at
all levels of government, business, and community govern our lives. All
these boards are charged with the responsibility of looking after the
welfare of the people they serve. The Food and Drug Administration, for
instance, must pass on the safety and quality of the food we eat; the
Aviation Safety Board works to ensure safe flights; a local school board
strives to create the environment that best serves the education and
safety needs of the pupils. Boards serve every community and business of
any size.
The Food and Drug Administration makes
sure we don’t use contaminated food and drugs that can harm our bodies.
Yet, there are no oversight boards that would check against things that
contaminate the mind and present a clear threat of unraveling our
democracy’s social compact as we know and cherish it. Shouldn’t these
dangers to our beliefs and way of life be monitored and combated, or
should they be allowed a free hand to work their damage?
Religion is a powerful force. And as is
the case with any force, it can do work of the good or that of the evil.
And, when there is multiplicity of religions at loggerhead with one
another, the forces clash and any benefit that religion offers is offset
by potentially huge costs.
Given that the formerly vast and largely
segregated planet has shrunk into a “global village,” the disparate
peoples isolated from one another for millennia are now a village
community.
The-thrown-together diverse people are
in urgent need of adopting a set of common rules that would allow
individuals as well as groups maximum latitude of faith, coupled with
responsibility, and free of any practices that infringe on the rights of
others or demonize them. Islam, as a matter of belief, considers all
non-Muslims, even the so-called people of the book, as infidels—people
who are to be subjugated or cleansed from Allah’s earth.
America, with a long history of
protecting religious freedom, still clings to the “hands off” practice
of leaving alone any doctrine or practice billed as religion. A thorny
problem is in deciding what constitutes a religion and who is to make
that call.
The dictionary supplies a sociologically
useless definition for religion: “The expression of man’s belief in and
reverence for a superhuman power recognized as the creator and governor
of the universe.” Just about anyone or any group under this definition
can start a religion, and they indeed do—and some do so at significant
costs to others.
Muslims, under the banner of religion,
are infringing blatantly on the rights of others, not only in Islamic
countries, but also in much of the non-Muslim world. By their acts of
dogmatic savagery, Muslims are finally awaking the non-Muslim
democracies to the imminent threat of Islamofascism keen on destroying
their free secular societies.
Islam was birthed by primitives of some
1400 years ago and over time invaded much of the world at the point of
the sword. Presently, the Islamists, with their treasuries flush with
petrodollars, are in a great position to realize their perennial dream
of bringing the world under the rule of Muhammad’s Ummah. On the one
hand Pakistan is already a nuclear power and Iran aims to be one before
very long. On the other hand, Muslim governments and wealthy Sheikhs are
funding Islamic schools, centers and front organizations in the West to
work from within at the unraveling of the non-Islamic democratic
systems.
The large number of Muslims arrival of
recent years is posing a serious problem to this nation of all nations.
Bluntly speaking, no one can be a Muslim and an American at the same
time. Here are some of the reasons.
1) A Muslim is, first and foremost, an Ummahist—a
citizen of international Islam. So, when a Muslim takes the American
Pledge of Allegiance, he is either ignorant of the implication of his
pledge or is lying willfully. Ignorance is never a valid reason in the
court of law, and lying in the process of becoming citizen is a ground
for denying the application and even deporting the violator. Sadly
enough, taqiyyah—lying, or dissimulation—is not only condoned,
it is recommended to the Muslims in their scripture. Hence, a Muslim can
and would lie without any compunctions, whenever it is expedient.
2) Muslims, by belief and practice, are
the most blatant violators of human rights. We hardly need to detail
here Muslims’ systemic cruel treatment of the unbelievers, women of all
persuasions, and any and all minorities across the board. To Muslims,
human rights have a different meaning, and it protective provisions are
reserved strictly for Muslims—primarily for Muslim men. Just a couple of
examples should suffice for now.
A) Oppression of women, for one, is so
systemic in Islam that to this day women are, at best, second-class
citizens under Islamic law. Saudi Arabia, the custodian of Islamdom,
denies women the right to drive, vote or hold elective offices—the most
basic rights of citizens in democratic societies.
For another, no non-Islamic literature is allowed in Saudi Arabia. A visiting
B) Christian, for instance, is denied to
enter the Kingdom with a Bible. Further, severe punishment is meted out
to anyone daring to disagree with Islam or espouse a different
religion. Iran’s resurgent Shiism often vies with Saudi Arabia in its
mistreatment of religious and non-religious minorities. To the fanatical
ruling gang in Iran, it is their brand of Islam or disenfranchisement
of rights of citizenship and even death for the “sin” of apostasy. And
of course, there is no point at all in talking about the savage Islamic
Taliban.
3) Respect for the rule of law, as it is
understood and practiced by civilized people, is an instrument of
convenience to be used to advantage and to be violated when it is not,
for the Muslim. A Muslim believes in a different law—the Sharia: a set
of stone-age rules. Violation of the non-Muslim laws, therefore, is no
violation at all to a Muslim.
What is incredible is the gall and
audacity of Muslims in demanding that Western and other democracies
legalize Sharia in their societies. Large populations of Muslims, mostly
recent arrivals, in countries such as Canada, Great Britain, and
Sweden are experiencing the insistent demands by Muslims to have Sharia
rule their Islamic communities. This is just the beginning and it may
seem relatively harmless to the simpletons in our midst. Yet, once
Sharia is recognized to any extent, it will reach out to rule not only
on matters that concern Muslims, but also those that may involve a
Muslim and non-Muslim. Under Sharia, a Muslim man married to a
non-Muslim woman is able to divorce the woman at will, automatically
have custody of the children, and literally toss the wife out of “his”
home with just about no compensations.
4) As for democracy, the rule of the
people, Muslims have no use at all. Muslims believe that Allah’s rule
must govern the world in the form of Caliphate—a theocracy. Making
mockery of democracy, subverting its working, and ignoring its
provisions is a Muslim’s way of falsifying what he already believes to
be a sinful and false system of governance invented by the infidels.
To Muslims, Ummah-ism—international
Islamism—is the legitimate form of government. Ummah-ism is another form
of despotism such as Communism and Fascism, with the added feature of
enjoying “divine” authority.
The world has good samples of Ummah-ism
in practice to scrutinize in Islamic autocracies. Khamenei of Iran is
not called "Caliph". He is called the "Supreme Guide". The Saudi King is
just another Caliph vessel of the "divine". These Islamic despots are
every bit as vile as the Hitlers, the Stalins, the Pol Pots, and the
Mussolinis. The government these Islamic autocrats head is infested to
the core with the Islamic disease of oppression, corruption and the
absence of accountability to the people.
Democracies believe that government must
be of the people, by the people, and for the people. Ummah-ism is
anathema to this sacrosanct fundamental democratic ideal.
As more and more Muslims arrive in
non-Islamic lands, as they reproduce with great fecundity, as they
convert the disenchanted and minorities, and as petrodollar-flush
Muslims and Muslim treasuries supply generous funds, Muslims gather more
power to undermine the democratic rule. A consortium composed of
pandering politicians, blinded with short-term self-interest and egoism;
attention and fund-seeking self-proclaimed prima donna professors; and,
bastions of useful idiot liberals, universities, is the witting or
unwitting promoter of Ummah-ism.
There is an urgent need for the
establishment of a Religious Review Board tasked with a mission to
ensure that no "religion" preaches and practices in violation of the
United States’ Constitution. Islam is incompatible with democracy and
subversive of the way of life that blesses this nation. It is imperative
that we fight Islamofascism with the same determination that we fought
other enemies of freedom such as Nazism, Fascism, and Communism.
