A rubber boat full of refugees from Nigeria were floating across the ocean to try and get to Italy when the Muslims on board began to throw Christians off the boat and into the sea simply because they weren’t Muslims. 12 Christians drowned due to this disgusting act of hate.
This is Islam, folks. Islam IS terrorism. It is endemic to the faith. Many westerners like to pretend that Islamic terror is only something that terrorists perpetrate and that “normal” Muslims don’t act like this. This is a serious mistake to make. Foolish westerners who think like this come by it honestly, at least. It is based on the experiences of westerners who generally don’t see religion as a justification to commit murder.
But, this story makes the lie to the claim that Islam is essentially a peaceful religion built on love. It just isn’t.
The murders began when those on the boat began to fear that the rubber craft was starting to lose air and might sink. One Christian made the mistake of praying the Jesus out loud. This set the Muslims aboard into a frenzy of murderous hate.
One of the Muslims on board the rickety craft ordered him to stop, saying: ‘Here, we only pray to Allah.’
When he refused, a violent fight ensued and 12 Christians drowned when they were thrown overboard by the Muslim refugees.
This is the soul of Islam. It was neither “terrorists” nor radicals on the boat from Nigeria to Italy. They were all refugees who were trying to escape a war-prone nation.
Easterners simply cannot grasp the fact the Islam is a murderous creed and that it isn’t just “radicals” who at the drop of a hat will kill in Allah’s name.
Take a foolish article written form Time magazine by a self-professed “expect” on Islam by the name of Carla Power as a prime example of this head-in-the-sand response to Islam.
In a recent piece attacking author and critic of Islam Ayaan Hirsi Ali, Power said, “Islamic law is more flexible than many think.”
Yeah, It’s flexible, alright. But the only thing it is flexible in is obviating the “peaceful” aspects of Islam to better excuse the violent parts of the code.
Islam is violence and a murder’s creed. It isn’t a “radical” who kills his own daughter in an “honor killing.” It is a normal, everyday Muslim. It isn’t the terrorist who mutilates her own child’s genitals. It is a common Muslim woman. It isn’t a “radical” that joins a mob in Indonesia to start burning down Christian churches and killing its inhabitants. It is your everyday Muslims. It isn’t an “extremist” who goes out into the streets to celebrate when Americans are killed. It is the run-of-the-mill Muslim who does. It isn’t a “crazy” person who beats his wife then quotes the Koran to justify it. It is a regular Muslim.
Islamic terrorists are not alone in using Islam as an excuse to murder. It is built into the faith.
The Italians should not only deny entry to these particular Muslims, they should execute every Muslim aboard that boat. They must pay for what they did.
Now, are there some Muslims who don’t do these things? Sure, there are millions of them. But the fact that their religion is so easily prone to the sort of murderous hate seen in that boat to Italy proves that their religion is not like the other world religions, creeds built on peace and love. Islam is the very definition of blind hate and endemic violence.
No other world religion would have acted like the religion on that boat. Only Islam.
But, can Islam be changed, can it be reformed? Sure, I don’t see why not. Further it MUST be reformed to remain a religion worthy of humanity. But it will need some MAJOR reworking before it will be a successful reform. More reworking than any major religion has ever needed before.
