What is the Western World really facing in its conflict with jihadi Islam ?

Question

The New York Times of Sunday June 6th, 2004 featured a front page article - by Neil MacFarquhar in its "Weekly Review" section, entitled: "The Saudis Fight Terror [against their government]." What the title did not include was "but not against those who forment It, jihadi Islam."

The article begins,
"A "fatwa" (a religious ruling by an authoritative Moslem cleric) that was posted on the internet of a popular Islamic web site in Saudi Arabia explains when a Moslem may mutilate the corpse of an "infidel."

The article points out that a 'fatwa' was issued almost immediately after several Moslem terrorist attacks in Iraq and Saudi Arabia in which non-Moslem unarmed civilians (some foreign contractors and some foreign businessmen,) were murdered and then mutilated in both countries.

"The ruling, written by a Saudi religious sheik named Omar Abdullah Hassan al-Shehabi, decreed that the dead can be mutilated as a reciprocal act when the enemy . . .

. . . is disfiguring Moslem corpses, or when it otherwise serves the Islamic nation. In the second category, the reasons include in order to "to terrorize the enemy" or to gladden the heart of a Moslem warrior."

"The religious ruling," the article continues, "was evidently posted to address questions about the conflict in Iraq, but is not limited by geography."

Later the article also states,
"That a cleric can post such an argument in a open forum goes a long way towards explaining how the most radical interpretations of religious texts flourish in Saudi Arabia."

And it also goes a long way towards explaining how the most radical interpretations of religious texts flourish in all of the Middle East.

The Prophet Muhammad set the precedent for a temporary postponement of jihad when in 628 A.D. he signed the Treaty of Hudaybiyya with his Meccan adversaries. Professor Moshe Sharon pointed out that, “Holy War (jihad) is merely a strategy . . .

. . . and therefore the Israeli peace agreements - (even those) with Egypt and Jordan are a sort of interlude.” These agreements are between governments, in which the Arab side fulfills only the bare minimum."

(Egypt, which committed itself to stopping the atrocious propaganda against Israel and normalize relations is, in fact, a prime leader of anti-Semitic propaganda activity in the Arab World.)

Mohammed, the ultimate Muslim role model, kept the ten year armistice agreement he made with the Meccans for only two years - but, when he realized he could defeat his adversaries, he promptly broke the agreement, attacked the Meccans and decisively defeated them, offering them the choice of either conversion to Islam, or death..

Answer 1

We are facing the most cowardly, piece of dogcrap yellow-bellied freaks who believe mohammed will give them great gifts for all this hatred for Infidels. Well....hehe, mohammed never was, they have as crewed up way of thinking, and they should be all wiped from the planet soon. If they REALLY believe in that crap...it shows truth to my assessment. Vestal virgins...LOL, what a bunch of dummies.

I have more to say about them radicals...but I only have 1000 words to work with.

I live near Dearborn, MI. And if you think I dont appreciate my 2nd amendment right...you're not well. I love that one most of all...
and I dont hunt for any animals either.....hmm.

Anyways...my nieghbors know who I am, and they feel safer with me around it seems, cause if things ever go bad around here....people like me will help trim the numbers down before the filth can get to your town.
I dont care if the Gov. is watchin here, they should know that there are a few of us here in the USA, that will come out in force to back its citizens- death to terrorists.
I hononest to God would blow one of them away on the spot if I ever SEE any harm being done to a citizen.

Answer 2

A very long question with a very short answer. This war will only end if one of two things happen.
1. The entire world, moderate Muslims included, take serious this threat and work together to stop it.
2. Continue on this path where destruction of civilization as we know it today will end and radical Islam will be put in a leadership role in many more countries, forcing their will on the rest of us.

Answer 3

Simple answer.


Convert...or die.

There is no coexisting with the factional radical Muslims. Whereas western culture welcomes differences for the most part, the radical arm of the Muslim faith has zero tolerance. They do not adhere to the peaceful beliefs of the majority of the Muslim faith and likely, if it came down to it, would slaughter them after dealing with us. Simple answer...simple choices. Every time they see a western society weaken in it's stand against this lunatic faction, their recruitment increases. They appear to be the stronger of the two in the fight. And the larger part of the world wants to be on the side that appears to be winning. Human nature. I know there are lots who disagree with me, who do not take this threat seriously, but to do so, in my opinion, is to assure a huge spike in the death toll due to terrorism over the world. They have been very quiet since this war began and are hoping for weakness in the resolve of the western cultures. Anyone who is unsure, owes it to themselves to at least view some material on this. I have provided links in case anyone has not seen them and is interested.

Answer 4

Unfortunately, it's more than just the Jihadists we're facing. Their liberal apologists here in America are almost just as big a threat. And at this rate, they will remove any power America has to stop terror.

Answer 5

Ultimately this will and has already forced a kill or be killed situation. There cannot be blast in over there and then try to play nice. Glazed sand conflict will eventually have to be employed.

Answer 6

An enemy who will never stop until every last one of them is dead. Do you see the answer now?

Answer 7

The religious sheik doesn't know what he is talking about because the Quran clearly states that mutilation is strictly forbidden.

Answer 8

its facing an enemy that dosent care about how mucht hey kill they dont care how many civilians they kill

a terroist jihadi is a very dngerous soldier iits more motivated and wont stop even if it never reaches its goal

Answer 9

in theUK the real problem is Blair who is too weak to do anything to stop terrorists

Answer 10

DEATH
