Call Them Whatever You Want…..They’re Still Muslim Terrorist

I have about had with those who get their panties in a wad every time someone says that Muslims attacked us on 09/11/01. It is a fact that on that day, all of those who hijacked planes and crashed them into either buildings or into the ground....with innocent people aboard….were Muslims. I don’t have to add “extremists” to the description to get the story right….They were Muslims first…and THEN extremists. Let’s look at some facts before you chop my head off…….


The phrase “Allāhu Akbar”….is known as the Takbīr….and is translated as "God is Great". Right about now, you might be saying to yourself…”Hmmmm, I don’t ever remember hearing anyone say “Allah Akbar” in my church”. That’s because it is an Islamic expression, referring specifically to Allah….and NOT your God. (You know the God I’m talking about…the God of “infidels”….Christians, Jews and anyone else who is not a Muslim)


So why do I bring that whole “Allah Akbar” thing up?......Primarily because it is specific to those who are a part of Islam. It is not a Christian saying…..It is not a Jewish saying….It is not a Buddhist saying….NO, it is a phrase that is used ONLY by Muslims. Why does that matter? It seems that political correctness has tried to sugar-coat the terrorist attacks of the last 10 years by saying that these acts of terrorism were not carried out by Muslims....rather that they were carried out by Muslim extremists. In spite of how they might try to spin it...the fact remains that ALL of those involved were Muslim….and in almost EVERY attack….the terrorists shouted “Allah Akbar” as they started killing people.


In papers recovered after 9/11….there were handwritten instructions left behind by those who were involved in the attacks...describing how best to carry out their plans. Here’s just one example…."When the confrontation begins, strike like champions who do not want to go back to this world. Shout, 'Allahu Akbar,' because this strikes fear in the hearts of the non-believers".  (emphasis added)….So who exactly were these “non-believers"? That would be those who did not believe in Allah or follow his teachings….(i.e. Christians, Jews, etc.) That seems an awful lot like a like a “Muslim thing” to me


Look at Nidal Hasan (who is obviously of Irish origin, based on his name alone) He is the Army psychologist who killed 13 people and wounded 30 more at Ft Hood. This was obviously a premeditated Muslim terrorist attack, since on the morning of the attack, neighbors say that he gave away his furniture along with guess what else?....You’re right….copies of the Qur’an. According to witnesses who survived the attack…..before Hasan started shooting he yelled “Allah Akbar”…..once more, that sounds a LOT like a “Muslim thing” to me. In addition…..one of Hasan’s colleagues recalled that he had often stated that “Muslims must rise up against the U.S. military”. (Note that even Hasan himself did not specify Muslim extremists….just plain old Muslims) Witnesses also stated that Nidal Hasan had spoken highly of Sgt. Hasan Akbar (who is also obviously Irish)….If you recall Sgt. Hasan Akbar was the Muslim soldier in the U.S. military, who a couple years ago killed two American soldiers by intentionally lobbing a grenade at his fellow troops……


Islamic insurgents including a suicide bomber stormed Chechnya's Parliament…..leaving at least four people dead and 17 injured in one of the most brazen attacks on the provincial capital in months, officials said………One (of the terrorist) blew himself up and two others went on the rampage inside, spraying bullets around as they screamed "Allahu Akbar" ("God is Greatest"), a Reuters source who spoke to a witness at the parliament building said"……Again, sounds a LOT like a “Muslim/Islamic thing” to me….and I guess to MSNBC.com as well….since the word “extremist” was not to be found in the article. 

There are so many more examples…..Think back to the beheadings that were broadcast on the internet several years ago. One of the things that each of them had in common, was that all of the murderers and those around them shouted “Allah Akbar” as they cut off an innocent person’s head with a sword…..NOT “Thank you Jesus”…or “Praise and honor to Buddha”….just “Allah Akbar”.


Of course there are those who say…”Yeah but every Muslim doesn’t feel that way”….And I would have to say…..maybe not, but look what their “Holy Book” has to say………..Here are some quotes from the Qur’an;


Quran (2:191-193) - "And slay them wherever ye find them, and drive them out of the places whence they drove you out, for persecution is worse than slaughter...and fight them until persecution is no more, and religion is for Allah."

Quran (8:12) - "I will cast terror into the hearts of those who disbelieve. Therefore strike off their heads and strike off every fingertip of them" 

Quran (8:39) - "And fight with them until there is no more persecution and religion should be only for Allah" 

Quran (25:52) - "Therefore listen not to the Unbelievers, but strive against them with the utmost strenuousness..." 


There is another book called the Hadith….The Hadith is a collection of narrations concerning the words and deeds of the Islamic prophet Muhammad. These writings would be equivalent to the words of Jesus Christ in Christianity…and are still used to this day as a reference in matters of Islamic law and history.  


Bukhari (52:177) - Allah's Apostle said, "The Hour will not be established until you fight with the Jews, and the stone behind which a Jew will be hiding will say. 'O Muslim! There is a Jew hiding behind me, so kill him'."

Bukhari (8:387) - Allah's Apostle said, "I have been ordered to fight the people till they say: 'None has the right to be worshipped but Allah

Muslim (1:149) - "Abu Dharr reported: I said: Messenger of Allah, which of the deeds is the best? He replied: Belief in Allah and Jihad in His cause..."

Muslim (20:4645) - "...He did that and said: There is another act which elevates the position of a man in Paradise to a grade one hundred (higher), and the elevation between one grade and the other is equal to the height of the heaven from the earth. He said: 'What is that act?' He replied: 'Jihad in the way of Allah! Jihad in the way of Allah!'"

Tabari 9:69  "Killing Unbelievers is a small matter to us"

Ibn Ishaq: 327 - “Allah said, ‘A prophet must slaughter before collecting captives. A slaughtered enemy is driven from the land. Muhammad, you craved the desires of this world, its goods and the ransom captives would bring. But Allah desires killing them to manifest the religion.’”


When you put all of that together…..all I can say is…”Wow that sure sounds like a religion of peace to me”. Maybe all Muslims aren’t terrorist…..but we do know that in recent times…..all terrorists have been Muslims. Consider this…..Why has every American born terrorist who has turned against his own country in recent years, without exception, converted to Islam before they set out on their attempted terror plot? Why is it that after the events of 9/11, we saw thousands of Muslims (of all ages) celebrating in the streets….rejoicing over the fact that thousands of innocent people had just been slaughtered? Why is it that we don’t hear a word from the “moderate” Muslims….decrying the acts of violence perpetrated by these so-called "extremists"? As far as I’m concerned……until I see something different than what I have seen over the last ten years….I’ll stick with calling a Muslim terrorist….a Muslim terrorist. Then Again….That’s Just Me

How Much Is Enough?….And How Sick Is Too Sick?

I have often spoken out about the dangers of giving any government entity too much power. I have been scoffed at, and even ridiculed for saying that I think that a government can go too far in controlling people’s lives. Many who lean heavily to the left, look at governmental control (or regulation as it is often referred to) as a way to make everyone more equal…(i.e. Social Justice) They look at it not only as being fair to everyone….but also as giving equal opportunities to each individual. I believe very strongly that we live in a country that does offer equal opportunity to everyone who is willing to work. The key here is “work”. I do not believe that any country should take away from those who work hard and succeed….and give it to those who don’t. And yes, I understand that the end result of that belief, is that you will have a society of “Haves” and “Have Nots”.

I have been asked the question….”Why do you feel so strongly against a government having the power to regulate things?” First of all let me say that I don’t think that ALL regulation is wrong. I do however feel that there are a several instances where governmental control over people’s lives just doesn’t work…..

First of all, I believe that it is wrong (as well as unconstitutional) for the government to have the power to to reward those who don’t actually get up off of their butt and “pursue happiness”….(you know that whole “life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness” thing that is guaranteed in the Constitution)….Since the government has no money of their own....this can only be done by taking it away from those who have worked hard...and giving it to the first group. There is no guarantee of happiness or success in the Constitution….Instead it is just a guarantee that you will have the opportunity to try. In fact...let me go one step further....there isn’t even a guarantee that if you work really hard, that you will succeed….because in real life...sometimes people just fail. But I do know that those who really want to succeed, will get back up and “pursue” success until they attain it or die trying. You don’t find very many successful people who will ever sit down and say “Why don’t you just take some from that guy and give it to me….and then I’ll be ok?”.

The second…and probably MOST important reason that I am against more government regulation in people’s lives….is the question of “Who gets to decide?”…..Here’s an example……






Who gets to decide how much money is enough….and then you can’t make any more? The common answer is “well if someone is making ten million dollars a year….they are rich, so that is enough”….Not to sound like a 5 year-old…but really, says who? Doesn’t it stand to reason that once you start giving the government the option to decide how much is enough….that it then can be set at any level? Before you say “yeah but I only make $35,000 a year”….let me say this. There are a lot of progressives, Marxists and socialists who believe that this concept of "spreading the wealth around" (an Obama quote) should be a global concept…That means that in countries where the average income is $300 per year…YOU are RICH. So at some point, someone is going to come after your money as well…..(but of course its just to even things out to those who aren’t “rich” like you)


Then you have the health care debate…….


The government is trying its best to completely take over the control of your health care. I don’t care what Andy Griffith says….It isn’t “gonna be good for everyone”. How do I know?......Because it doesn’t work. Look at the countries that currently have “socialized medicine”…..it’s not working for them…so why would we think that it would work for us? There are those who say…”yeah but you have health care….so you don’t have to worry about it”…..Yes I do….but in spite of what CNN reports, there aren’t millions of people dying every year in the U.S. because of not having health care. In fact go to an emergency room in any town…..and you will find it FULL of people who don’t have health care…..(in fact you will find people there who aren’t even U.S. citizens….and they still get treated like everyone else). In the end….NO government can afford to give everyone free health care....so at some point there has to be decisions made as to who is more deserving.....Is it your 75 year-old retired Grandpa, who needs a pacemaker….or the 35 year old person who is still working and paying taxes? Is it the 21 year-old person who is almost out of college and headed into a career, who needs major surgery….or is it your 6 month-old baby. I would say that in a system that has to choose….your Grandpa and your baby are going to die. Impossible you say? There are people who think even less than that of the life of a baby…..Of course these people generally come from societies where health care is rationed…so eventually it tends to cloud their thinking…..

Watch this…..





Many people would say that I’m just an alarmist…..and you would be correct….I am. At what point are we going to wake up and see that the liberties that we have enjoyed for so long…..are slowly being taken away from us? Most of the time, these things happen in such a way that by the time it is actually happening…..the people are actually ok with it. Do you really think that in 1941...that the German people as a whole…hated Jews and those who were mentally and physically handicapped…so badly that they wanted them killed by the millions in concentration camps? Of course not….but they were conditioned into thinking that it was necessary….in order for they themselves to survive. Right now there are people in power in this country with ideas that are so radical….that if you heard them today…you would probably say…”That will NEVER happen”. I strongly believe that in every country….(Germany, Russia, China, etc)….where these types of things eventually DID happen….there were millions of people who said the same thing. Then when they saw it with their own eyes….it was too late. I also believe that in most cases, it all started when they let someone decide for them….How Much Was Enough?….and How Sick Was Too Sick? Then Again….That’s Just Me
