Neither Violence Nor Peace Is An Absolute Value in Islam

Perhaps it is time we expand our investigation beyond Islam and ask if there is something about Modernity that pushes so many of us to seek redemption in publicly directed violence.

Syed K. Mirza:

What is Islamic Terrorism and
How Could It Be Defeated?
by Syed Kamran Mirza

Syed_mirza@hotmail.com

"Men never do evil so completely and cheerfully as when they do it from religious conviction." (Blaise Pascal, mathematician, 1670)

"It would be nave to ignore in Islam a deep thread of intolerance toward unbelievers."-Andrew Sullivan

What is Islamic terrorism?

Islamic terrorism is the divine duty of pure Muslims for which they feel proud instead of feeling remorse. Pure Muslims do not call it terrorism they only call it Islamic Jihad against the infidel West. Killing non-Muslims are sacred duty of every devout Muslim for which Allah repeatedly commanded (in Qur'an) and declared unlimited reward in the after life. Muslims those who read Qur'an and understand it well always believe in the Islamic 'global agenda' that Islam has a sacred and mandatory God given duty to spread Islamic message (Din-e-Islam) to all the inhabitants of the world. Wars in Iraq or Afghanistan have nothing to do with Islamic terrorism. In American soil 9/11 attacks did happen before Iraq or Afghanistan wars. Please don't forget that.

Islam is the only religion which divides the whole world into two spheres: Land of Warfare "Darul harb" (non-Islamic nations) and "Darul Islam" (Land of Peace), and encourages the Land of "Peace" to fight against the Land of Warfare until it is completely "subdued" and peace is established in the entire world. Islam is the only religion that largely forbids the free practice of other religions in its midst. Saudi Arabia, the cradle of Islam never allows religion other than Islam to practice in their land. Their ulterior motive is to convert and bring entire mankind under the fold of Islam, the "Only true religion of Allah." To this end-two main groups are working very hard. These two groups are: (a) Militant/radical Mullahs (whom we know as the terrorists), (b) Educated/elite Western residing true believing Muslims (Muslims belonging to the ummatic groups in the West such as: AMC, CAIR, ICNA, ISNA, NABIC etc). Here we can exclude gullible God fearing innocent Muslims (group-C), who do not read Qur'an and Sunnah). But because those gullible majority Muslims also believe in the same religion Islam and do not object to pray in congregations behind those militant mullahs-Islamic terrorists get tons of support from all Muslims.

Causes of Terrorism:

Purely and solely-the real motivation behind the terrorism (Islamic Jihad) is the teachings of Qur'an and Sunnah. Western politicians erroneously and perhaps ignorantly call it "evil or distorted ideology." This is absolutely wrong statement by the politically correct western politicians. That ideology is nothing but the ideology of pure Islam, which are the holy teachings of the Qur'an. Therefore, Qur'an and Sunnah (prophetic instructions) are the true foundations of Islamic terrorism. Palestinian problems, wars of Iraq and Afghanistan etc. are only a plea to wage Islamic Jihad. Poverty or frustrations are not the cause of terrorism, because poverty and frustrations also exists amongst millions of poor people from other religions. Will any poor Hindu or a Buddhist bother to commit suicide to kill innocent Westerners?

We know conversion to other religion is a common phenomenon throughout the world. Many people convert to Islam or Christianity. But only Muslim converts turn into terrorists or Taliban. The Western born terrorists like John Walker Lindh, Zachariah Moussawi, Jose Padilla or James Uzzama etc. were converts and happened to be very pure and devout Muslims. If these guys were converted to Hinduism or Buddhism, they would never be the terrorists.

Poisonous tonic will cause poisonous effect whoever drinks it. Should we not analyze the tonic to determine the harmful ingredients, which causes the poisonous effects? Or should we start blaming those drinkers (instead of the tonic) for the ill effect of the tonic?

Likewise, whoever reads Qur'an and try to follow with its literal (verbatim) meanings, immediately becomes a bad human being (terrorist) for the society and for the nations. Wherever and whenever Islamic Shariaat (Laws of Qur'an and Sunnah) is being imposed, human misery ensues immediately. Is it not the time to analyze to determine exactly what causes this misery? Or, should we keep on blaming those hapless people who only try to follow the Qur'an and Sunnah with its literal instruction? Time has arrived to identify the real enemy of the Western civilization.

Western intelligence must not overlook 'Mosques-Islamic centers-Madrashas' connections to all Islamic terrorists in 100% time of their terrorists operation and success. If those 'Mosques-Islamic centers-Madras' are the so-called radicalized Islam then what is the real Islam? It's true that all Muslims are not terrorists, but all terrorists are pure Muslims as per the Qur'an.

Quite obviously, the cause of Islamic fanaticism and zealotry is rooted in the Qur'an and Sunnah (Hadiths). Terrorists like Osama bin Laden and others are the victims of Qur'anic scriptural teachings. Here are some Qur'anic teachings (out of hundreds), which those devout Muslims swallow every day (five times) so passionately only to become brainwashed in the Mosques and Islamic centers for committing suicide bombings in the midst of innocent gatherings.

Quran-5:51- "O ye who believe! Take not the Jews and the Christians for your friends and protectors. They are but friends and protectors to each other-.."

Quran-4:78: "Where ye are, death will find you, even if ye are in Towers, built up strong and tall" (Perhaps Twin towers was meant here?)

Quran-3:85, "If anyone desires a religion other than Islam (submission to Allah), never will it be accepted of him; and in the Hereafter He will be in the ranks of those who have lost (All spiritual good)."

Quran-9:29, Fight those who believe neither in Allah nor the Last Day, nor hold that forbidden which hath been forbidden by Allah and His Messenger, nor acknowledge the religion of Truth, (even if they are) of the People of the Book (Christians and Jews), until they pay the Jizya with willing submission, and feel themselves subdued.

Lives of any human are precious and human beings definitely love their own life more than anything in the world. Nobody is ready to die or destroy his own life even for millions of dollars (except perhaps by Prophet Abraham). But a simple minded (otherwise a good man) but fanatically blind believer of religion Islam can eagerly give his life with a smile on his face. Why? Because he simply learned that if he dies for Islam, or killed others (infidels) for Islam-he will be given a sure suite in heavens of Allah, where he will enjoy plenty of hurries for unlimited sex, delicious foods forever and ever with no interruption, what so ever. This may sound silly to me or to any intelligent human being. But, this is the one and only truth to a blind-faith believer of the so-called holy book Qur'an, indeed! The Qur'an is the center of Jihadi inspiration.

It's a greatest lie to say that Qur'an prohibits suicide! That is the suicide (Qur'an referring) to kill one-self only for no good reason or out of frustrations. But to die (to kill the kaffirs) for the cause of Islam is mandatory good deeds for the believers, which has been directed 100 times with plenty of rewards in the Holy Qur'an.

In Amsterdam, Netherlands-Mohammed Bouyeri, the killer of filmmaker Theo Van Gogh confessed his guilt and showed no remorse for his dastardly act of Islamic slaughter. During court trial he made following remarks: "I don't feel your pain", he told the victim's mother. "Because I was driven by my religious conviction." He also said, "If I were released and would have the chance to do it again-I would do exactly the same thing." At one point he said to the victim's mother, "I have to admit I don't have sympathy for you. I can't feel for you because I think you are a non-believer."

How could we stop Islamic Terrorism?

Yes, Islamic terrorism could be stopped if the west be united and take the right measures. West must not weigh Islamic terrorism lightly. This is a more dangerous and deadlier phenomenon than communism. It took fifty years to defeat communism. But it may take only twenty years if the West takes the right course. But the menace may continue to grow if the West follows the fruitless policy of appeasing the Muslims, disseminating patronizing statements like: "Poisonous or perverted interpretation of peaceful Islam". Terrorists are not misinterpreting Islam; rather they are interpreting Islam very correctly. Islam is like cancer and Qur'an is the carcinogen, which causes cancer. We must know our enemy. We must fight the cause and not the symptoms. Unless scientists can subdue the HIV virus, the cause of AIDS, scientists can never control AIDS.

Spending billions of dollars in strong security or democratization tactics will not help. Sweet appeasing talks also will do no good. Almost 80% of world Muslims does support Osama's ideology in their hearts. They only talk false sympathy in front of Westerners to please Western govt. But when inside their house, they sympathize with those suicide bombers very much. In every suicide bombings when Western cities are in chaos, peoples die, and Western economy is in shambles-most Muslims all over the world gloat in their hearts.

The West must remember that as of now-no Islamic government, or any famous Islamic Imams or Mullahs have ever issued fatwa condemning Osama's barrage of suicide bombings. Just for writing a controversial novel Salman Rushdie was sentenced to death. As of now no Muslim country sentenced Osama to death. We must ask ourselves why?

Best way to solve Islamic terrorism:

Supreme enemy Islamic Arab imperialistic ideology must be fought in three fronts:

A. Enemy must be defeated with iron fist by waging all out war against Islamic terrorists all over the world. The West (Europe and America) must be united and declare war against Islamists. President Bush must issue personal letters to all government heads of Muslim world to cooperate, or face economic embargo. The West must ask all Muslim Governments to cooperate honestly and actively by issuing fatwa's against terrorists. It's not enough to say, "We despise terrorism", but must act to stop this madness by strongly disassociating with the Islamists, isolating them, arresting them, and imprisoning them without any mercy. All governments of the Muslim world must impose a strict ban on all Madrashas (religious schools) and terrorist organization formed by Islamic mullahs.

B. All Muslims living in the Muslim nations must condemn terrorists and they must stop any association with those Mullahs and Islamic Imams who condone Islamic terrorism. They must not pray behind those Imams/mullahs who incite Islamic hatreds, and they must isolate them socially and politically. All Western living gullible Muslims must cooperate with the Western intelligence (like FBI, CIA) and provide them all sorts of information about militant Muslim's activity. Or face the backlash of host country.

C. The West must fight the Islam ideologically. That is the West must form a multi-national committee to investigate, scrutinize, and extract the poisonous teachings of Qur'an, which do transform a simple young human into a monster. Those scholars must find out what those Muslim mullahs/Imams teach young Muslim students in the Madrashas and other religious schools all over the world. Their findings must be submitted to the governments and published in the newspapers. Open criticisms and debates of Qur'an and Islam must be permitted by all nations.

I am positive, within 10/20 years Islamic suicide bomber's madness will be evaporated for good. If we fail to take positive actions narrated above-our civilization will perish. Killing some terrorists, arresting and killing Osama bin Laden or spending billions of dollars to establish democracy in the Middle East will solve nothing. Because, to solve the terrorist problem, we must destroy the ultimate machine (Islam), which do create terrorists.

Syed K. Mirza:

Below are comemnts by a reader of my article on Islamic mumbo-jumbo. This readers explain about all organized religions:

"I expose the falsehoods of all man made religions. These religions are just for business purpose. Arab religion is a derivative of Hindu religion. In Hindu religion the religious class is asking the masses to worship the stones. Shiv linga and parvati stones are the famous stones. Shiv linga is a male sexual organ and parvati is a female sexual organ. The Arabs have taken the parvati stone to mecca and calling it a holy stone came directly from paradise .How stupid and ignorant are the followers of this religion. The Hindus are spinning around the stone in India seven times clockwise and the stupid followers of Arab religions have just made one change....They made it to anticlockwise....What a great change .This parvati stone is a outstretched vagina, through which head of a baby is delivering out. The followers of Arab religions including the converts are saluting and surrendering their heads to this stone three or five times a day. They are kissing this stone (Parvati vagina and head of baby)during their very holy holy pilgrimage. If you will disclose to them this reality of worshiping the stone, they will desperately reply.. "no we are not worshiping stone, we are worshiping our god through this stone". What an intelligent answer . Stupid followers of a sadist god. He create them and asking them to raise their asses many times a day.

These poor followers are scarred of these gods. He has threatened them if they will not worship him, he will screw them in hereafter life. At other place this god has used another weapon "sex in the paradise",72 virgins for men. But no body ask this god,what about females, what they will get? I think Arab god is gay god, jealous of females .

"Of course, this may just be a symptom of not having a voice. When a group is oppressed, threatened, violated and then not given a proper format to express their frustration, they will let their voices be heard by the barrels of their guns."

You couldnt be more right. In the many countries that these individuals come from, the value of "voice" has been lost. these are countries filled with corruption, fear and ultimate control, even when it comes to the USA's favoritees, like Pakistan.
Regardless of how well presented the leader looks, how well he speaks english, and his appearance on the daily show, musharaff refuses to deal with the issues of major corruption in Pakistan. He blows up a few madrassas and everyone says he is a strong supportet of democracy, but he refuses to do anyhting about the criminals in his government, and thats just an example.
in saudi arabia, criticising the religous authority is intreperted as criticism of Islam, and that warrants lashings.
The true cause of terrorism in the Muslim world is a lack of real genuine leadership, but there are Muslims who are standing up to this trend, and I feel that the treu Islamic Revolution is coming in the Muslim World, and that is our only hope.

Victoria wrote, "id say the proof is in the pudding [...] where do you see angry and abusive muslims here?"

First of all, I echo your desire for a more reasonable dialogue. Many posters have done violence to us all by posting long copy-and-paste jobs or irrational, close-minded rants. So that you for drawing attention to that. You are right that the Muslims have been, by far, exceeding all of us by way of example on this and other threads.

However, Muslims as a community let their actions speak louder than their words. I think the thing many of us liberals, conservatives, religious or irreligious alike, are frustrated about is how often Muslims take to the streets when they are offended, or take to stabbing or maiming when they are insulted. A peaceful cafe or marketplace full of innocent people is torn to bits and not a word was uttered by the man with the explosives.

Of course, this may just be a symptom of not having a voice. When a group is oppressed, threatened, violated and then not given a proper format to express their frustration, they will let their voices be heard by the barrels of their guns.

i would like to make note that i just finished my afternoon prayer- so that is my state of mind in this composition-

also this happens 5 times a day, so at least 5 times a day i have this reasonable attitude(however i am inclined to believe the reason overlaps from prayer to prayer)

Muslims comprise the most diverse population of any grouping on the planet, yet people still persist in believing fox news perceptions-

id say the proof is in the pudding-

witness the very apparent examples on these boards-

where do you see angry and abusive muslims here?

do you see muslims name calling and castigating others?
acting impolitely, judging others, slandering others?

id say there is a disproportionate amount of reasonable response to overt aggression here-

and yet it doesnt strike anyone as indicative of islamic manners and behavior?

while i see a preponderance of verbal violence against muslims-

is this verbal violence and abuse answered back in reciprocal manner?

there are even those who mislead others by using arabic names, and then propagating outright hatred and vitriol-

has anyone seen a corollary malice in return?

or even anger?

if islam is filled with out of control emotional and anger filled adherents, why dont we see any evidence of it here?

people respond with outright irrational emotions controlling their every word- but the muslims remain reasoned.

it is a phenomenon that certainly deserves mention and attention.

Henry James:

Who Are the Terrorists

It is often said on this site that all the terrorists are Muslims.

The *American Heritage* Dictionary defines terrorism as ""The unlawful use or threatened use of force or violence by a person or an organized group against people or property with the intention of intimidating or coercing societies or governments, often for ideological or political reasons." (who can argue with American Heritage).

Terrorism is often used to describe the above when it kills innocent civilians, and the terrorist knows, or should have known, that this will happen.

The 19 terrorists who flew into the buildings killed about 3,000 civilians.

By starting a war considered Illegal under international law, and that was a "war of choice," the United States, the most Christian of nations with a president who ostentatiously exhibits his Christian belief, is responsible for 400,000 deaths, mostly civilians, over the last 4 years.

All the Terrorists are who?

19 Saudis kill 3,000 of our people, so in response
we cause 400,000 *Iraqis* deaths to quell a threat that was not a threat.

And Jesus is our President's favorite political philosopher.

Deb is right. By definition. I mean, from now on, by "right" I mean "Deb". So Deb is right and no one can disagree with me.

Islam is terrorism. By fiat. I decree it thusly. From now on, by "Islam" I just mean "terrorism," so again, I'm right by definition.

Also, let it be known that from now on, "you" are all "wrong," again, by definition.

Re: Chatterjee's falsehoods


1. Nothing in Dr. Jackson's essay remotely supports terrorism.

2. Nothing in Dr. Jackson's essay remotely endorses Sayeed Qutb's political agenda.


3. Chatterjee has provided ZERO evidence that MILESTONES advocates terrorism.


You can complain about scurrilous epithets all you want but a rose by any other name is still a rose.

Deb Chatterjee:

Todd R and Abdullah:

I stand by on what I wrote about Sherman Jackson's "Islamic integrity". In my opinion, which you may find dishonest etc. and etc., this is actually a support for terroism.

Read the book/monograph by Sayyid Qutb (MILESTONES). Qutb, no matter how much the desperate westernized Muslims try to dissociate him, is still a very well respected (even though he is long dead) and cherished. His views still resonate the Islamic world. If you want more proof just google his name to see how the Muslim Brotherhood (MB) idolizes him. The MB has a very large and strong following in Egypt that rationalizes Qutb's ideas. In fact, Qutb suggests the same actions, but unlike Sherman Jackson he is more vocal and direct. That's the difference, in my view. I did not read anything different between Qutb and Sherman Jackson, regarding preserving "Islamic integrity".

Upholding "Islamic integrity" is a birthright of Muslims but not everywhere. Reciprocally, in Egypt for example - birthplavce of Muslim Brotherhood, Coptic Christians have very few rights and are persecuted to preserve and uphold Islamic integrity there. Jackson's views resonate the same way. He definitely does NOT condemn Islam's use of violence in his post.

Lastly, use of scurrilous epithets such as "dishonest" etc., shows intellectual bankruptcy on the part of the writer. Everybody is entitled to Free Speech in USA and so am I. If I find Sherman Jackson's views distasteful, I have a right to express my opinion, thus. I hope you get that message, and civilize.

james smith:

why do islamics keep bringing up mcvey? he never once said he was doing anything because he was a christian much less a fundamentalist one, or that what he did he did he did because he was killing a religious enemy. this is the difference between an islamic who kills and says he does so to kill the enemy of islam, a religious enemy. mcvey was killing a political enemy which had nothing to do with religion.

frank collins:

hey james smith, you got a problem with pointing out how peaceful islam is by listing what peace actually means to islam in 2006. i looked and there is the same for 2005. and if you look even deeper you can find the same peaceful conduct for 2007 too.
so you got a list of those mosques that publish condemnation of killing jews and christians - and i specifically means jews and christians?

Tonio my Esteemed Interlocutor

I think you are essentially correct in your post, and since I am America's foremost literary critic, that should give you comfort.

Of course, Bin Laden is the extreme, as the Oklahoma City bombers were the extreme of Christian fundamentalists, most of whom don't kill innocent civililans.

Defending the "integrity" of one's tribe or country or religion has to be a "judgment call," and the world will judge the judgment.

Many, for instance, think Germany made disastrously bad judgments in WWI and II. Most think Bin Laden made a disastrously bad judgment on Sept 11, though it had many of the effects he hoped it would have.

And history will judge Bush to have made a disastrously bad judgment in his response to September THE Eleventh, where he exploited fear and prejudice to lead his country into war based on lies about Iraq's Nuclear capability and ties to Al Queda.

Allah be praised, the true Allah, not the one that Bin Laden corrupted.

Tonio:

Todd, I'm in general agreement with Jackson about a double standard regarding treatment of Islam. I can't speak for anyone else, but I focused on his "sanctions" statement because it was unclear whether he was defending violence. Anyone would be justified in pointing out that uncertainty, no matter what religion was involved.

I had understood bin Laden's complaint about Western troops in Saudi Arabia to be purely a matter of doctrine. Meaning that he believes that non-Muslims in that are defiling holy ground. Is that accurate?

My point is that a religion's "integrity" is such a vague concept that anyone in any religion can spin the term to suit any agenda no matter how extreme. Using bin Laden as an example, he has been quite clear about his agenda to see all Americans convert to Islam. And in this country, there are some evangelical Christians who pressure people to convert, sometimes with ghastly tales of eternal damnation, and when criticized they accuse their critics of hating Christians. Asking evangelists to back off does not equate to preventing them from freely exercising their religion.
