Fitna and the Kafir, Part Two
By Kenneth Roberts
December 4, 2009
Both Sunnis and Shi'ites believe in the use of sacred violence. The right to
coerce the infidels and subdue them was given by Allah to Mohammed as owner
of the earth.
Theologically, mocking Mohammed's method of controlling the infidels is blasphemy,
for the violent method of Mohammed comes directly from Allah. Allah's method
trumps human logic, even the Western ideal of free speech that is based on mere
human philosophy and mere human reasoning, rather than Allah's Divine Command.
In mere human philosophy, Mohammed's fitna-prevention method is built on a fallacy
of logic called the Appeal to Force in place of logical argument. But this fallacious
argument is the main argument of the Koran. Muslims know that the Koranic argument
for violence against the infidels takes up 2/3 of the Koran and they further
know that the Koranic argument cannot be wrong, for it comes directly from Allah
and Allah is not a liar.
Mohammed's method for eliminating fitna is jihad and all Muslims should freely
use Mohammed's method, since Mohammed is their role model. This is what Muslims
did in the Danish cartoon riots. It is also what motivated Dr.
Nidal Hasan at Fort Hood on November 5, 2009.
Normally, Muslims will not kill infidels for merely thinking non-Islamic thoughts.
After all, who knows what another person is thinking, even one's own spouse?
Sacred violence is authorized when open disagreement with Mohammed is expressed
in the public domain, as with a cartoon or an anti-Islamic book. It need not
be the guilty person who is punished, so we can never be sure of the physical
safety of any infidels, since throughout history, jihads have often included
mass slaughters and genocides of men, women and children.
Mohammed approved of such indiscriminate killing of unbelievers on occasion,
if it was convenient for him. During a night-time sneak attack on a town, Mohammed
was asked about his customary method of sparing women and children (so that
they could be sources of revenue as slaves). According to the Hadith
by Abu Muslim 19:4322 , Mohammed responded, "They are of them."
In other words, the women and children are accomplices in the fitna of the defending
males. And besides, it was inconvenient to attack and carry lanterns to check
everything that moves in the dark.
Here Mohammed authorized wholesale slaughter of an entire community. The justification
for this was the political charge of fitna. So no infidel is ever innocent of
fitna, a capital crime.
Such logic was used by Major Nidal Hasan when he committed a wholesale slaughter
http://www.faithfreedom.org/islam/islamic-mind-major-nidal-hasan of 13 unarmed
American soldiers: …the American army opposes Mohammed's method…it
is guilty of fitna…and the 13 slaughtered soldiers 'are of them.' This
made Dr. Hasan a hero to the former mullah of his mosque, because he executed
the enemies of Mohammed using deceit and surprise, just like Mohammed did. Mohammed
frequently executed unarmed prisoners of war. Dr. Hasan is a rational, pious
Muslim. His ideas agree with the official scholarly concensus of normative Islam.
Mohammed's brilliant method of ruthless assassination silences fitna by paralyzing
the brain with fear. Mohammed's method may not be judged by any external standard,
because his method is itself the standard. Forget the obvious ethical flexibility
or opportunism. Mohammed's method takes a position above human logic, ethical
analysis and philosophical discourse. To analyze Mohammed's ethical inconsistencies
is fitna.
Today, Islamic governments are seeking new ways to control fitna beyond their
borders. Kafir fitna is temptation or luring that tempts Muslims to question
or lose their faith. Kafirs commit fitna every time they disagree with Sharia
law in the public domain, when they mock Mohammed's violent method in cartoons
or use reason or logic on the Internet to show Mohammed is wrong.
Such politically incorrect utterance keeps the Islamic state from insuring
all information supports the unity and power of that State and its jihadist
army.
Information control is normative Islam and is fully acceptable to all pious
Muslims, since it prevents fitna, the ultimate crime. Modern Muslims agree that
fitna should be removed from human society through censorship of discourse that
disagrees with Islam, even in the Human
Rights Council of the United Nations. By removing the right to
disagree with Islam at the UN, Muslim governments hope to implement global
information control.
Politically, this will allow Islamic governments to totally ignore all human
rights complaints by claiming Muslims have a unique human right: the right of
not hearing any criticism.
When governments of the Islamic Conference say they wish to remove utterances
that criticizes Islam, they actually mean 'fitna'…public disagreement with
Mohammed.
Islamic governments know fitna control is needed before discriminatory Sharia
law can be fully implemented and jihad can go ahead. They seek to shut down
the freedom of UN diplomats to discuss any human rights aspect of Islam. They
cast a veil over Islamic discrimination against women and minorities in view
of the radical claim that Muslims have a superior, unique human right which
infidels do not possess.
The Islamic right to censor fitna trumps gender equality, freedom of expression,
freedom to change one's religion and other freedoms. In law, this specious argument
is called 'special pleading'. It is pure dualism and supremacism. In essence,
this makes Shariah law superior to the UDHR and enshrines Islamic discrimination
in the name of human rights.
Inter-Islamic fitna, i.e. dissension or discord between Muslims, is the second
class of fitna. Theological disagreements
between Shi'ite Muslims and Sunnite Muslims are also called fitna. Both
sides believe the other worthy of death for disagreeing with Mohammed. Unfortunately,
both sides do not see that their own opinion of Mohammed's method may also be
in error. Only the other fellow is in error and he is obviously a heretic. 'And
Allah knows best.'
Consequently, there is no Sunnite mosque permitted in Teheran and no Shi'ite
mosque permitted in Saudi Arabia's holy cities. Fitna/discord between Muslims
themselves and between Muslims and infidels is primarily a political question
about who possesses the political upper hand. This right of supremacy cannot
be discussed, since it comes from Allah and is defended by sacred violence.
What you believe about Mohammed determines your human rights status in an Islamic
state.
Moreover, the concept of fitna makes pluralism practically impossible, since
only one political party can be in perfect agreement with Mohammed. Having an
opposition party in an Islamic country would be the evil of fitna...another
opinion would obviously disagree with Mohammed and be condemned. Fitna paints
Islamic countries into a philosophical corner where dictatorship is the only
government system possible.
The ultimate use of fitna is a military one. Fitna is any utterance that demoralizes
or confuses Muslim troops so they become weak as a military force, unconvinced
of their political mission of world dominance and hesitant to commit jihad.
Fitna undercuts the Islamic chain of command. Fitna destroys the cohesiveness
and certainty of jihadists…that unquestioning certainty that makes them
ready to kill the critics of Mohammed.
Faint-hearted, non-fanatical Muslims will not defend Mohammed's method or expand
their Allah-given supremacy over the infidels. If Muslims are in doubt about
the rightness of Mohammed's method, they will peter out, while the infidels
win the earth for Satan. This must not be. Fitna must be stopped and reversed,
since it impedes the Islamic state without borders. Fitna thus becomes a political
charge of treason against the Allah-established Ummah (nation) of Islam. Fitna
deserves the death penalty because Allah said it is worse than murder (Koran
2:191). It is every Muslim's duty to use sacred violence to stamp out fitna
and create the utopian Islamic world where disagreement can no longer exist.
"And fight them (all infidels) until there is no more fitnah (disagreeing
with Allah/Mohammed) and the religion (all-pervasive lifestyle and system of
Sharia law) will all be for Allah alone (in the whole world). But if they cease
(to disagree with Allah/Mohammed) then certainly, Allah is All-Seer of what
they do." (Koran 8.39)
"(Allah) sent His messenger with the guidance and the Religion of Truth,
that He may cause it to prevail over all religion, however much the kafirs may
be averse." (Koran 9.33)
