This is the second in a series which takes a closer look at the religion of Islam, often referred to (by the Muslims themselves of course) as the “Religion of Peace.” In the first part we looked at the treatment of women within this 7^th century religion. Today I want to explore a brief look at how the so called Religion of Peace looks at, and treats, other religions.

·         On November 25, 2008, that “moderate Muslim” country of Malaysia brought us this article, “The Islamic religious councils of seven Malaysian states and the Malaysian Chinese Muslim Association are turning to the federal court for the ban of the use of the word “Allah” in the weekly Catholic Herald.” A Christian newspaper. Even though the Malaysian constitution guarantees full religious freedom for all religions, it appears that an ordinance issued by the Muslim interior security ministry issued a 1986 law prohibiting the use of the word “Allah” (which simply means God) by non-Muslim publications. It is important to remember what with so many Muslims in predominantly non-Muslim countries such as ours, that despite those Religion of Peace practitioners’ insistences that the religion of Islam gets along with all other religions, it only does so as the superior and dominant religion.

·         This is further evidenced by the recent (Nov, 21, 08) report of a Muslim riot after a 14 year old boy, who didn’t know the segregationist status of “Dhimmi” behavior expected of non-Muslims resulted in a violent attack by a large mob of angry Religion of Peace adherents. “Muslim villagers attacked the homes and shops of Coptic Christians in Tayyiba (Egypt), a town with 35,000 Christians and 10,000 Muslims, after 14-year-old Copt Mina William failed to dismount his donkey as a (Muslim) funeral procession passed.” Don’t let the number of Christians vs. Muslims fool you as the total non-Muslim population of Egypt totals less than 15%. “Williams failure to dismount violated a local custom of showing respect, (this is another complete obfuscation, as any non-Muslim people’s, known as Dhimmis, are obviously required to show special reverence to any Muslims they may encounter) and members of the procession reportedly beat him before completing the procession.” Remember this was a 14 year old child who didn’t know any better. Of course the beating wasn’t considered punishment enough so after the funeral the Muslim population then used this opportunity to terrorize and steal from the local Christian population. Don’t expect any serious charges to be filed against any of the Muslim instigators of this atrocity by the Muslim government.

·         Every European and North American nation welcomes religious leaders from around the world to visit or live within their nations. How do the Religion of Peace adherents reciprocate this seemingly reasonable accommodation? Currently 22 Muslim nations don’t permit admittance of any non-Muslim religious leaders for either visits or residency. Two of those nations are Iraq and Afghanistan! The other Muslim nations impose very strict restrictions and laws making even formal visits by non-Muslim religious leaders very difficult. Isn’t it amazing how those Religion of Peace adherents only seem to insist (and often demand) that non-Muslims see them as such a fun-loving, tolerant, and peaceful religion in every non-Muslim country, but they don’t seem to worry about such trivialities when they are in charge of a country?

·         Every one of the Muslim ruled nations has some form of Sharia Law (Islamic Law) incorporated in part, or in it entirety, into their nations constitutional laws. Again, both Iraq and Afghanistan’s first order of business when they began drawing up their new national constitutions (after our soldiers demonstrated once again why they are the best soldiers in the world) was to install the concept that no law could supersede Sharia Law. How many billions of U.S. dollars, and gallons of U.S. blood, have we shed ourselves of, only to see the 7^th century religious/political/supremacist ideology passing itself as a religion, to reemerge yet again?

·         The recent violence in Iraq especially around the Mosul area, has been those Religion of Peace adherents we helped to “free,” killing and terrorizing the estimated 2 million Christian Iraqi’s, of which at least half that population has been forced to flee the country for their lives. This is of course, the actions of our “allies,” not that you will hear a word of this in our liberal (i.e., Christian hating) MSM.

·         In Thailand, the Philippines, India, China, and a very great many other nations around the world, come daily reports of rapes, murder, the desecration of churches and synagogues, vicious and unprovoked attacks with guns, machetes, knives, acid, and generally whatever else may be at hand; all committed by Muslim followers of the Religion of Peace. Still American’s don’t seem to have been able to put two and two together?

·         In that liberal bastion of Multiculturalism and Political Correctness, Minneapolis, Minnesota, we have seen the Muslim taxi drivers refuse to transport non-Muslim Americans  carrying pork products, alcohol, or even the blind’s sight assist dogs. Target cashiers have refused to ring up people trying to purchase other “haram” or Islamic forbidden items! This was also the scene of the infamous "flying imans" case. What’s the big deal, you may ask? Because the response has generally been the response of Dhimmis from those very same Muslim countries from whence these Religion of Peace adherents hail from. Target arranged to have other cashiers come and ring up those troublesome products, and prayer rooms and foot washing basins were installed at the Minneapolis airport, thereby ensuring an increasing demand for “special rights” by our Muslim citizens. I won’t even go into the security issues of actually creating areas within our airports for Muslims to loiter where no authority will dare question them for fear of being sued or even worse, being accused of being a racist “Islamaphobe.”

·         Have we already forgotten the brazen murder of Theo van Gough in Denmark? He made a short film questioning the so called Religion of Peace and was murdered in broad daylight. Or what of the tens of thousands of Muslims celebrating the 9/11 attacks? Or the 2005 “cartoon” riots that resulted in the deaths of more than 70 people?

·         Why is it ok for a Muslim to marry a non-Muslim woman but it is forbidden for a Muslim woman to marry a non-Muslim man? Why is the so called Religion of Peace insisting on the death penalty for any Muslim to convert to another religion?

·         How can there be so little questioning of Saudi Arabia’s insistence that a mosque be built in Greece when it is against Saudi law for any church or synagogue to be built in their nation?

   Again, this is just a very brief look at the so called Religion of Peace’s insistence of special accommodations to their every demand even as they deny all non-Muslims the same tolerance or accommodations? Are American’s even aware that we have the fourth largest Muslim population in the world? How long will we continue to whistle in the dark and hope against hope that this will all just go away?

Stay tuned as we delve into the life of the founder of Islam, the Prophet Mohammad himself, in my next installment.
