For all you useful idiots in the West trying so hard to look open minded you’ve allowed yourself to be snowed by the purveyors of Islam. Here’s what to expect ladies:
- Amaria Masih, an l8-year-old Catholic, raped and murdered on November 27, 2011 in the village of Samundari (Punjab) by the young Muslim Arif Gujjar, who wanted to marry and convert her. She has been defined the “Maria Goretti of Pakistan” (see Fides 02/12/2011). The family has forgiven the murderer.
- Sabir Bashir, a Christian teenager, tortured and killed in October 2011 in the territory of the district of Khanewal District (Punjab), by Muslims because of “land grabbing”: the criminals wanted to steal the land which belonged to Christians and this is why they attacked the children. Other children were injured in the attack.
- Anna, a 12-year-old Christian girl, Arif Masih’s daughter, scavenger in Shahdra, a small town near Lahore (Punjab): kidnapped and raped repeatedly for eight months by a gang of Islamic militants. Annihilated and traumatized, was converted and forced to an Islamic marriage (Fides 11/10/2011).
- Four Christian children killed in 2011 with their mother near Jehlum (Punjab) because they refused to leave a village which was predominantly Muslim.
- Farah Hatim, the Catholic girl kidnapped, forced to marry and convert to Islam in the city of Rahim Yar Khan, in Punjab. Some non-governmental Organizations in Pakistan and outside the country officially brought the case to the United Nations (Fides 22/08/2011).
- Rebbecca Masih and Saima Masih, two Christian girls kidnapped by a group of Muslims in the district of Jhung, in Faisalabad (in Punjab), and forced to convert to Islam and forced to marry a rich local businessman (Fides 27/05/2011).
- Shazia Bashir, a 12-year-old Christian girl, who was raped and murdered in January 2010 (Fides 08/02/2010). Chaudhry Naeem, the rich Muslim lawyer, responsible for the crime, was acquitted. Behind the event there is a sinister turn of sale, trafficking and enslavement of children.
- Lubna Masih, 12 years old, raped and murdered by a group of Muslims in Rawalpindi (Fides 13/10/2010).
- Kiran George, a girl from Sheikhupura (Lahore) who died on March 10, 2010 from burns all over her body, after the Muslim Ahmad Raza, a police officer, poured gasoline on her and lit her on fire. The young woman had been enslaved by a woman, Sama, a dealer of youth to be sold as prostitutes or slaves to wealthy Muslim families (Fides 22/03/2010). (PA) (Agenzia Fides 24/08/2012)
And, of course, their goal:
لا يستسلم
Nice touch of Arabic at the end, but it might help others if you provide the translation.
That’s their job. I’m sure Google Translate can help. I think they do Arabic.
So Islam has its share of extremists? Are you saying Christianity doesn’t? There are over one billion Muslims, do you expect every single one to be perfect? What if I listed atrocities committed in Northern Ireland, would that convince you that Catholics/Protestants/Christians were horrible? Two guys with a banner doesn’t prove anything, if it did we would all be socialists by now
This is how evil gains power, folks. The immediate need to jump to moral equivalency that has been taught to Westerners who have no respect for their own cultures and morals, so they accept whatever advertising systems like Islam or communism, or fascism sell.
I’ve lived with Muslims on and off for over a decade. The first error people make is that Islam is not simply a religious belief system; it is blatantly political, something that Christianity does not require. It mandates political, social, and personal behaviors. It empowers men to use women as chattel. It divides the world in Dar el-Harb (House of War) and Dar el-Islam (House of the Submission [to God].) Islam requires war on unbelievers (having read the book…in Arabic…I can attest that there is an exhortation to war in every single chapter. Find me an example in the New Testament.)
They destroy other religion’s icons and belief systems (something that hasn’t been seen in Christianity since Roman times); Catholicism tended to adopt elements of other beliefs to more effective sell Christianity (thank you, Jesuits.) Islam views all human endeavor as out of the control of humanity — man is a tool for God and all that happens is as he wills; Protestantism adopted humanist ideals from Renaissance and acknowledged Man’s importance, from which followed the ideals of self-enlightenment, self-governance, and the importance of education.
Nielsen’s pointing out the extremists in Northern Ireland is an excellent example of how misunderstanding your own history, and lacking a respect for it, allows a person to leave themselves open to the danger of a destructive ideology. Christianity has its share of extremists. They aren’t running planes into buildings, beheading homosexuals, killing their own daughters for shaming their family.
Northern Ireland is the last vestige of the Wars of Religion from the 16th and 17th Centuries and it is an instructive period for why rule of law and tolerance of other religions became enshrined in Western political thought (thank you, James Madison.) Protestant reform began not as a rejection of Catholicism, but an attempt to weed out corruption by church officials who had been coopted by wealth and politics. German princes, looking to break the hold of Rome over the process of electing the Holy Roman Emperor, used Protestants as a cudgel to advance their goals. When Henry VIII of England could not gain a divorce as he wished from the pope, he turned Protestant — not due to strong religious convictions, but because it allowed him to usurp the religious authority of the pope…and get his way regarding his marital status.
Christianity was used by POLITICAL adventurers to forge new nations and empower those noblemen who had been subject to either Rome or more powerful political figures. In England, this led kings to try and “breed” Catholicism out of Ireland by implanting English settlers in Irish lands. First and foremost, the fight in Ireland had been about social and political power, with religion used as the motivator for conflict: the Protestants are Irish now, but they are — to the Catholic “authentic” Irish — foreign interlopers who had seized power over them.
Islam’s conquests have been, until recently, more religious in character. There are proscriptions against warring on other believers (that did not stop them from doing so in recent years); war for plunder and expansion of personal power was restricted to the infidel. (I would note that even the Catholics’ Reconquista in Spain began not as a religious protest, but a tax one.) The goal of Islam is not the political gain of Iran, or Saudi Arabia — Islam wants the destruction of other religious and ideological systems. It’s leaders abhor humanism, which places the rights of the individual above that of society. It’s detests democratic forms of government for the same reason. It views modernism as dangerous: the education of its adherents in other ideas can only damage Islam’s true face.
Misapprehending the intentions of not just fervent (extermist) Muslims, but that of the Faithful in general, is a terrible mistake that will cost cultural relativists, and those Progressives that hear their rhetoric aped by the violent elements of Islam and believe them intellectual brothers.
My apologies to Mr. Nielsen. Your comment got trapped in the spam filter and I only got it today.
