The OIC Denies the Evil of Islamic State



The OIC Denies the Evil of Islamic State


The Organization of Islamic Cooperation, the OIC, the world's top Islamic body, has denounced the persecution of Christians in Mosul, Iraq. The Secretary-General said that the forced displacement of Mosul’s Christians showed that Islamic State, ISIS, practices have nothing to do with Islam’s principles of tolerance and coexistence. And what is this tolerance and coexistence?
How have the nations of the OIC treated Christians? Members of the OIC include Iraq, Iran, Turkey, Saudi Arabia, Syria, Egypt and Lebanon. What has happened to their Christians? 
Christians in Iraq are being brutally tortured and raped now. In Iran if you are a Christian you can be jailed for simply being Christian. Turkey used to be called Anatolia and was 100% Christian, but today it's only 0.3% Christian. How did that happen? Through forced conversions and jihad. 
Then we have Saudi Arabia which really knows how to treat its religious minorities, as in not welcome at all. And we move to Syria where Christians have been brutalized. Egypt used to be a Christian nation, but now it's 90% Muslim. Coptic Christians were driven out and were driven out, persecuted and forcibly converted. Lebanon after the second world war was Christian and now then it is majority Muslim. 
So what happened to all the OIC Christians? They were brutalized. 
But here's the important question: why do we want to believe the lie that Islam treats its religious minorities well? We have a lie of our own. Our lie is that we’re not at war with Islam. There are just a few Sunni Islamist extremists. Get it straight. Islam is at war with us and the Sunni Islamist extremists like Islamic State turn out not to be extremist at all. Islam is at war with us and the Sunni Islamist extremists like Islamic State turn out not to be extremist at all. They are devout, orthodox Muslims, devoutly following the fundamental, foundational doctrines of Islam.
The Islamist State, ISIS, follows the Sunna of Mohammed in real time. Read the Sira and the Hadith. And it is the same with the other organizations such as Al Shabab, Boko Haram and all the jihadists. They are all following the example of Mohammed who was not an extremist. Mohammed was a Christian killer, a Jew killer, and a pagan killer. So Islamic state and all the other jihadist organizations are simply doing what they are supposed to do – follow the Sunna of Mohammed. So Islamic State and all the other jihadist organizations are simply doing what they are supposed to do, that is, they are following the Sunna of Mohammed
The problem is that Islam is dualistic and the nice peaceful Muslim at work is Islam, but also cutting off the heads of Christians is Islam. Dualism means two ideas that are contradictory can be true at the same time. The nice Muslim at work is simply part of Islam, but not all of it. Islamic State is Islam, as well. And you cannot eliminate the jihad doctrine from Islam. There is no such thing as the “nice Muslim at work” kind of Islam. Mohammed was a “nice Muslim at work” and he was a jihadist. Therefore, you will always get both kinds of Muslim, because there are both kinds of Islam. 
Islamic state is at war with us, but we are not at war with Islamic state. We want to tie, but Islam wants to win. How does that work out?
