Islam's Metastatic Cancer: The Death Cult
Topics: Understanding IslamMichael Hirsh's piece at MSNBC.com today, "Exploring Islam's 'Death Cult," suggests that Muslims must find a way to remove the cancer infecting their religion (hat tip - Gaius at Blue Crab Boulevard). In looking at the history of the "violent death cult" that tolerates and encourages the murder of innocents, and the use of children as human shields and other depravities, Hirsh notes that the rise of the death cult is a relatively recent phenomenon:
It is the question at the back of many people's minds as they absorb the frightening details of the terror plot in Britain. Yes, we understand that many Muslims are angry--about the Iraq War, about Israeli policy toward the Palestinians and the usual list of grievances. But there are many people, in many different societies and cultures, who are angry about many things. Would any other culture or religion produce a group of doctors and professionals who apparently deemed it morally correct to kill innocent people in large numbers? Has something gone wrong with Islam itself, or at least the culture it has produced?Hirsh's conclusion that the cancerous death cult can only be removed from within the religion of Islam begs two key questions: Why have Muslims allowed it to occur in the first place and even more, why they have been, for the most part, so silent over it's metastasis. What is it about Islam, and no other modern religion, that provides an environment or culture in which such a cancer can develop and become so malignant? The problem of the disease is made all the more manifest when Muslim doctors, people that one would "normally" assume possessed compassion and empathy for human kind, themselves become enveloped with the disease of the death cult - radical Islam.To merely pose that question, of course, is to play with political dynamite. But it must be asked. New York Times columnist Thomas Friedman wrote that "a death cult" ..."has taken root" in Islam, "feeding off it like a cancerous tumor." The conservative commentator Cal Thomas also used a cancer metaphor in comments that provoked an outcry from the U.S. Muslim community in recent days. "How much longer should we allow people from certain lands, with certain beliefs to come to Britain and America and build their mosques, teach hate, and plot to kill us?" Thomas asked. "OK, let's have the required disclaimer: Not all Muslims from the Middle East and Southeast Asia want to kill us, but those who do blend in with those who don't. Would anyone tolerate a slow-spreading cancer because it wasn't fast-spreading? Probably not. You'd want it removed."
... Even in the United States, where Muslims are far more assimilated into Western society than they are in Great Britain or Europe, 26 percent of younger Muslims say suicide bombing can be justified under some circumstances, according to a Pew Research survey released in May. The question of whether modern Islam has been contaminated, or twisted out of shape, is even on the minds of some Arab leaders. "We used to talk about the extremists coming from the poor or desperate people," says a high-ranking Muslim diplomat. "Then, after 9/11, we had to face the fact that it was middle-class Arab men, too. Now with this British plot it's not just middle class but also doctors. It's very strange. I don't know where this will take us."
... "When I look back at Islamic history over the last few centuries, there was a long period of comparative stability from 1400 onward, in which there was a kind of understanding that Islam deplored anarchy," says Richard Bulliet, a noted scholar of the Arab world at Columbia University.
... In fact, there is an argument to be made that "death cult" Islam is a relatively modern illness. Its genesis goes back to the 19th century, but it really took off in the latter part of the 20th century with the Wahhabist-influenced jihad movement in Afghanistan, and the advent of the Saudi petrodollar, which helped spread this extreme puritanical version of Islam.

Saudi Arabia has been the single biggest source of funding for fanatical interpretations of Islam, and the embodiment of that interpretation in organizations and schools has created a self-perpetuating institutional basis for promoting fanaticism across the Muslim world. ... There is no other state who spends as much money at ensuring conservatism and fanaticism among Muslims. ... (except Iran!)
Islamic Terrorism's Links To Nazi Fascism:
"To a nation that perfects the industry of death and which knows how to die nobly, God gives proud life in this world and eternal grace in the life to come" and "We are not afraid of death, we desire it... Let us die in redemption for Muslims," Al-Banna once wrote.The Muslim Brotherhood also "used and disseminated a quotation from the Koran that Jews are to be considered 'the worst enemy of the believers.' In addition, they evoked old stories of the early history of Islam by pointing to the example set by Mohammed who, as legend has it, succeeded not only in expelling two Jewish tribes from Medina during the 7th century, but killed the entire male population of the third tribe and sold all the women and children into slavery." (5)
Spreading their hate-filled message toward Jews, the Muslim Brotherhood found a soul-mate in Amin el-Husseini, the Mufti of Jerusalem who held the highest political and religious posts in Palestine from 1921 until after World War II.
Loftus and other authors note that the Muslim Brotherhood and Mufti had common goals with the new Nazi doctrines: a hatred for Western culture, democracy and Jews.
The Mufti with the Muslim Brotherhood and Nazi ideology was a dangerous cocktail.

Cal Thomas is absolutely right, no matter how upset and outraged the loonies on the left and the politically correct arses ruining this country and exposing us to annihilation may fret and whimper!
How come we detain and apprehend - and rightly so - someone trying to enter our country with a particularly deadly strain of tuberculosis (unless, of course, you are an illegal Mexican alien sneaking across the border, in which case you may bring any strain of TB you like and be welcomed in our "Sanctuary Cities" to boot) and we make of it a news item and an international incident - as recently happened, and yet we let thousands of Muslims into our country every day carrying the deadly strain of their barbaric culture of death and sick ideology of hatred and intolerance, allowing them to infect us and to metastasize and spread their Islamic "cancer" amongst us? How stupidly asinine and naive is that?!?!
As I have pointed elsewhere, no matter how much the so called "moderate Muslims" and "apologists" for Islam may want to "sugar-coat" the savage and murderous aspects of Islam inherent to it from its accursed inception, the Jihadists are the ones literally following the Koran and the teachings of its false prophet (Piss be Upon him!). The murderous Jihadist suicide bombers are not a "fringe" group as the politically correct would make us believe, but those who best represent the very nature of true twisted soul of Islam! It is islam as a whole that is a "cancer" upon the world - it has only brought nothing but strife, bloodshed, death, and destruction for centuries upon this sorry world. So much for the "Religion of Peace"!
I am sure that many who are Muslims - who are indeed not murderous fanatics like their fellow Islamist co-religionists, but caring, reasonable, and law-abiding human beings, intent on living and letting others live - one day opened their eyes in their crib and saw mom, dad, and the Mullah, and they did not have much say in the matter. To these I say: " Throughout history there have naturally been instances of extremists and nuts in every religion and ideological system, but, when was the last time you saw Christians, Jews, Buddhists, Hindus, Animists, Jains, or others, strap themselves with explosives and blow themselves up to in order to murder innocent bystanders as a "mandate" of their religion, which to boot entices them with promises of reward in "Paradise" and of "eternal sexual bliss in Heaven"?!?! I urge these "moderate" Muslims to convert to, shalll we say, a more "innocuous" faith - even rabid atheists are potentially less lethal than a fanatical Muslim hell-bent on following the Koran to the letter of the law and getting laid in heaven!
I am sorry for being harsh, but the Muslims themselves with the murderous culture of barbarism of their accursed prophet have brought this judgement upon themselves: Many times when cancer has spread to a patient's limb only amputation will save the patient's life. Also when cancer has spread to an internal organ often removal is the only alternative for the survival of the patient. I'd say that for the sake of the rest of humanity, maybe we should round all the Muslims of the world up, give them the opportunity to renounce Islam and its culture of death, and if not, do them all a favor, gather them in Mecca and Medina, strap them all with explosives so that they can be "Shahid" and get their 72 virgins or whatever phalluses women and Islamic gays get as a reward, and then nuke them all out of existence - after all, don't you treat "cancer" with "radiation"?
In the words of an old Spanish Proverb: "Muerto el perro, se acabo la rabia" - "With the dog dead, the rabies is gone" - how true!

So-called "moderate" Muslims do not speak up because of adherence to Islam or out of fear.
Apparently, a good Muslim cannot publicly criticize another Muslim; it will humiliate Islam (anything and everything will humiliate Islam).
In the case of fear, Muslims know that their fellow Muslims slaughter and brutalize Muslims at least as much as they slaughter and brutalize non-Muslims (the ever evil kefir). Honour killings are a way of life in the religion of peace.

Very true. All the more reason why such
"incidental" Muslims, who as I said, one day opened their eyes in their cribs and saw mom, dad, and the Mullah without their having had much say in the choosing of their religion or culture, should opt to convert to a more "innocuous" belief system. So long as they acquiesce and apologize for murderous Islam, out of misplaced loyalty and filial affiliation, they are complicit with the suicide bombers and the terrorists!
From its inception "Jihad" is an all-out war upon the "infidels", and as the very name "Islam" implies, its goal the forceful conversion into "submission" of the conquered and the imposition of Islam, the prophet, and Sharia. Muslim "apologists" may turn blue in the face spinning this fact, trying to morph "Jihad" into some sort of esoterical "inner struggle of mystical enlightenment", but the stark historical truth of the matter is that the only enlightenment "gleaned" from Jihad in the past has been the glint of the setting sun on a blood-dripping Jihadist swords amidst a blood-soaked charnel house battlefield carnage and slaughter - much as it remains today!
There should be no place for such "Jihad" in this world...or for the hateful Islamic religion/cult of death ideology that promotes it! Period.
