Do Liberals Know That ALL Jihadists are Muslims?

Question

I know not all Muslims are jihadists... but by definition all Jihadists are Muslim.

Israel uses racial profiling in what is probably the most successful anti-terrorist program of any airline in the world. Should we really all be freaking out when a few Imams that are clearly trying to make a political statement are asked to leave a plane?

Answer 1

Yes, but what makes the country great is respect and fairness. There was a better way to handle the Imams on the plane.

Answer 2

If all Muslims are not "jihadists" as you say, then how do you know that the cleric's prayers in the waiting area were a "political statement" by them? As men of the cloth, don't they have a rather strict religious obligation to pray 5x per day?

Some good may come of this. Several airports are planning to open non denominational chapels where people can go to pray.

Answer 3

Jihadists today invoke the Quran to justify the worst terrorist crimes. Throat slitting of infidels is mentioned in the Quran. Al-Mawardi (d. 1058), the prominent 11th century jurist quoted this verse, specifically, « When you encounter those who deny (the Truth) then strike (their) necks. » (Quran 47 :4), in his learned discussion of jihad. This ritual execution is also mentioned in other Muslim legal texts and in narratives of Christian and prominent Muslim historians. Today it is performed against infidels and recorded on videotape for the edification of Muslim audiences.

Slavery: The Quran not only allows slaves, but explicitly gives the slave-owner the right to have sex with them. There were no Muslim abolitionists because slavery is deeply ingrained in the religion. In fact, the Quran has more to say about enjoying sex with slaves than it does about several of the five pillars of Islam.

Mohammed owned and traded slaves. He commanded that women and children be taken as slaves in battle, and allowed them to be raped after capture. His followers continued the practice for centuries until it was forced to an end in most regions by European armies.

Unfortunately, slavery still persists in dark corners of the Muslim world today, such as Niger, the Sudan, and Mauritania. And, most tellingly, none of the articles by contemporary Muslim apologists (giving their religion retroactive credit for abolition) even bother to address the subject of modern slavery, much less condemn it.

Just like their slave-owning predecessors, today's Muslims are too preoccupied with the promotion of their magnificent religion to be concerned about the plight of slaves - or anyone else suffering under Islamic rule.
