I think about the 9/11 hijackers. Why? I ponder the Iranian revolution of 1979 and the "hostage crisis." Why? What did we do? The images of the several more famous (and videotaped) beheadings remain seared in my memory. How is this even possible? Several nights ago, I watched a Fox News report that reviewed the facts surrounding the possible "honor killing" of two Texas girls by their Muslim father and included audio of the 911 recording made in the moments the two were riddled with bullets. I can’t get the horror out of my mind of hearing the exact instant a father– A FATHER!!!– murdered his own flesh and blood… in the name of a supposed religion. How could a human be so cruel? Someone from PELHAM, NH found committing "terrorist acts" while in Somalia. Huh? How does THAT happen?
Amil Imani is an Iranian-born American citizen and pro-democracy activist residing in the United States of America. Imani is a columnist, literary translator, novelist and an essayist who has been writing and speaking out for the struggling people of his native land, Iran. He and his family escaped Iran after the radical Islamic revolution. His observations on the growing Islamo-fascist threat need to be heard and understood by as many people as possible if we are going to stem the rising tide of murder and mayhem. I have often written of the danger I perceive we face by allowing the construction of mosques here in this country. Mr. Imani has graciously allowed us to post several of his writings here on the ‘Grok which delve into some of the facts demonstrating why my fear is not off-base.
Here, he has the answers to my questions posed above:
It is Islam, dummy
by Amil Imani
The terror and death inflicted on humanity is not the work of radical Islam, neither the political Islam, nor the militant Islam. It is Islam, period. Get it? And the perpetrators are not fringe elements confined to brainwashed Saudis, loony Taliban, or some know–nothing Pakistanis who have hijacked Islam and are now in the business of mass murder. The latest project of the practitioners of the “religion of peace,” aimed to blowing planeloads of innocent civilians to smithereens in midair over the Atlantic, – ought to finally drive the point home: It is Islam, dummy. Get it?
How could people calling themselves sincere God-fearing religionists bring themselves to even think of acts of such barbarity, yet plan them methodically and cold-bloodedly proceed to execute them?
The answer is Islam. The life manual of Islam, the Quran, is a document of exclusion, hatred and violence that shapes the Muslims’ thinking and behaving. This stone-age document is optimally suited for people of stunted development; people who prefer to follow than to think for themselves, to hate than to love, and to seek death rather than to celebrate life.
Sadly, Muslims themselves are the ones who are most victimized by Islam. They have inherited this viral psychological disease of hate and violence; they live by it, and transmit it to their children as well as to receptive others.
