Why We Left Islam (19 page)

Should not the Western infidels who have fallen in love with the Islamic apologists (or the moderate, peaceful Islam) learn a few lessons from these verses? The pithy message in this verse is so loud and clear that even a primary school kid, after having diligently read those infallible words of Allah, will tell you that the perpetrators of the mayhem of 9/11, 11/3, 7/7. . . are simply carrying out what Allah has asked them to do. Even if 10 percent of the Muslims (this will be around 100.2 million nascent
Jihadists
) around the globe, with complete conviction in their faith, decide to act fully on these verses, this should be enough to annihilate virtually all the infidels. This is more powerful than all the atom bombs that the infidels possess. Isn’t this mind-boggling?

Therefore, the simplistic logic that the vast majority of the Muslims are peace-loving, law-abiding, and not Islamic terrorists is completely void. It is not the majority of the Muslims that matters. It is that 10 percent that is the gravest concern to today’s civilization. This is akin to a virus attack. I wonder why such simple and perfectly clear logic does not enter the heads of infidel politically correct politicians. They are vaguely satisfied that most Muslims
are against Islamic terrorism; therefore, Islamic terrorism is bound to go away, sooner or later.

This delusion has paralyzed the Western policy makers. They believe that somehow, by resorting to politically correct politics, those utterly unchangeable verses of Allah will disappear, or at least become “not acted upon” by the overwhelming majority of Muslims. I would request these “blind” and “unenlightened” politically correct politicians visit an Islamic Paradise, and, instead of negotiating deals with the corrupt rulers, visit a mosque, a university, a college, and a
madrassa
, and inquire as to what the Muslim students believe about the meaning of
jihad
or what these people think of terror attacks on Western cities. The glib answer from this newest breed of Islamists might make these uninformed infidels quake in absolute fear. For sure, these Muslim students will provide a clear explanation of the above verses: That is, the Qur’an unmistakably calls for the complete destruction of infidels in the hands of Muslims by any means.

Let us now briefly review what the rest of the civilized world is doing to face such an implacable foe.

Here are some of the steps the infidels have adopted to assuage a “raging,” seemingly unstoppable, Islamic terror:

Guaranteeing the preaching and indoctrination of Islam through the construction of a plethora of new mosques,
madrassahs, mussalas
, Islamic colleges, Islamic primary schools/nurseries, Islamic universities,
etc.
In Islamic Paradises, proselytizing any religion other than Islam is a serious offense; it might be punishable by a death sentence;

Allowing unabated immigration of Islamists in infidel territories, forgetting that the only reason these Islamists migrate to infidel lands is to convert these
haram/najis
(impure) lands into pure Islamic Paradises by hook or by crook, and if necessary, by colluding with the Islamic terrorists living and flourishing amidst them and in the Middle East;

Allowing unrestricted growth of Islamic centers and Islamic student organizations in universities and colleges. These are the fertile grounds for the hidden Islamic terrorists;

Permitting the Islamists to use valuable space in educational institutions, offices, and factories to be reserved for prayer purposes.
This right of prayer space (the infidels refer to this gesture as religious freedom; the Islamists laugh at the stupidity of the infidels) is not extended for other religions, or denied when requested. One might wonder why there is such a policy of duplicity. Why only the Muslim students/workers/staff members should have such privileges—even when some members of their community are hell-bent to destroy Western civilization? Is this the correct approach to combat Islamic extremism/terrorism?—by feeding these barbaric Islamists with nutrition and letting them breed unchecked?

Just to confirm that the infidels have reaped what they have been sowing for many years, on July 7, 2005, the “real Islam” struck London with crushing alacrity—Allah’s unbound vengeance. Since this day in Britain’s infamy they have also attempted to strike again and will continue to do so.

So, how will the British government (or other infidel governments) tackle the menace of this radical Islam? Here are some of my predictions:

Non-Muslims will be barred from visiting Islamic centers and mosques. This measure will be taken in response to the demand by the “peaceful” Islamists for more freedom to do what they would like to do at mosques and Islamic centers, so that no non-Muslim will be allowed to interfere in their affairs. The infidels call this respect for privacy.

There will be more interfaith dialogues, which mean providing the Islamists with a strong platform to severely criticize/attack Western civilization. In Islam, there is no such thing as “interfaith dialogue.” Just go to an Islamic Paradise and mention these words and the Islamists will laugh at you.

It will be illegal to quote hateful verses from the Qur’an and
Hadis
.

Web sites analyzing and dissecting Islam will be ordered to close down. However, the infidel government will subsidize Islamic organizations to set up and maintain Islamic websites to preach “peaceful,” “moderate” Islam. In infidels’ language, this is called an “outreach” program.

Anyone who utters any word, sentence, or message, or anyone who demonstrates his/her misdemeanor towards Islam/Muslims,
or whose words offend any Islamist, will face a hefty fine or court action (similar to a traffic offense).

Anyone who discusses Islamic terrorism and surreptitiously squints at any Muslim that happens to be nearby will be arrested and fined. The infidels call this a “vilification” act. However, Muslims will be allowed to criticize Christianity, Judaism, Buddhism, Hinduism.

Mosques will be allowed to use loudspeakers to spread, five times a day, the beautiful, melodious cry of Islam. After all, for a long time the Muslims (living in infidel lands) have complained that the denial of such opportunity had always been a sore point. They have always complained about their lack of religious freedom to inseminate the environmentally friendly, clear, silent air with heavenly cheers (read Azan). For other religions, though, using loudspeakers outside their enclosed congregation hall will be treated as an unbearable noise pollution. The organizers of such religious functions will be charged with disturbing the peace. Islam’s prayer noise will be treated as divine music.

Any newspaper that publishes articles that Islamists render as offensive to Islam will face severe punitive measures. Government rulings will force the infidel newspapers to provide free advertising space to spread peaceful Islam (refer to the Australian case). Islamists will be able to publish articles defaming other religions. This is known as Islamic tolerance, and the un-Islamic, infidel governments will respect this brand of Islamic tolerance.

To placate the Islamists, infidel governments will accede to their demand for
Sharia
laws to be applied to the Muslims. Muslims will have their own parliament—the Islamic
Majlis
or
Shura
council. Muslims will have their separate “Ministry” and “Judiciary.” They will even have separate beaches, playgrounds, gymnasiums, fitness centers, picnic spots, ablution centers, baby care centers, hostels, maternity clinics, public toilets, restaurants, aged care facilities, markets (only
halal
stuff), hospitals. . . Any bikini-clad or un-Islamically dressed woman found in an Islamic beach or other Islamic spots will face an Islamic
Sharia
court. Since she was in an Islamic territory, she will be subject to Islamic laws; the secular laws prevalent for the vast majority of infidels will not apply to her.

When meeting a Muslim man, an infidel woman must be attired in
hijab
and/or black cassock to respect Islam. No handshake will be allowed. This procedure will become a law. Any infidel woman breaking this provision will be tried in a
Sharia
court and not in a secular court.

In universities and colleges, if there is even a single Muslim/Muslimah, any student who talks about Islam will be subject to disciplinary action. The lecturer/professor/teacher must allow the Muslim student to enter and leave the class as he/she deems necessary to perform
Salat
(prayer). Special assessment procedures will apply to Muslim students—to uphold the affirmative action policy. This will compensate for the past historical discrimination and injustice perpetrated by the colonists.

The British government will accede to the demand of the Islamists for training in self-defense, to protect them from the despicable skinheads. Muslims will be allowed to form their own defense or vigilante corps. In the future, this Islamic defense corps will demand a certain territory within Great Britain to be exclusively reserved for the Muslims. Unbelievably, the British government will satisfy this Islamic demand.

The readers might laugh at some of my imaginary ideas, which are especially applicable to the Islamists living in infidel lands. But wait a minute; this is exactly what the Qur’an says. Muslims are Allah’s exceptional creation. The infidel world owes them a living, otherwise they are allowed by Allah to create terror, destruction, and mayhem. They deserve those extraordinary treatments because Allah says they are destined to rule the world and subdue all other religions.

What happens if the infidels refuse to accord those special privileges to the Islamists? The answer is the verse quoted above: you get 9/11, 3/11, 7/7, Bali, Jakarta, Casablanca, Istanbul. . .

When the world’s best intelligence organizations, such as the CIA, FBI, Scotland Yard, MI5, MI6,
etc.
fail to trace a single clue as to who these mindless terrorists are (before their attacks), and why they are perpetrating such heinous acts, one wonders what is wrong with these reputed establishments? The answer to this enigma is very easy. These infidels do not understand Islam. They are only fishing in the wrong water. They think Islamic terrorists
are like the IRA, Tamil Tigers, Basque separatists, Communist terrorists,
etc.
They are utterly wrong. To fight Islamic terrorists they must understand Islam first. Before they pick up any surveillance tool, they must pick up the Qur’an and read it thoroughly. Before they train on any weapon, they must read the
Hadis
and
Sharia
and see their “beauty.”

This is exactly how the Islamists train their
Jihadists
. They (the Islamist terrorists) are indoctrinated first in “real Islam” before they learn how to handle explosives and the use of arms and ammunitions. They know exactly how to imbue the Islamic fighters. The infidels are just callous; they put the cart before the horse. Don’t you think the Islamists are smarter than all those world-famous intelligence organizations? Let us face the truth: in strategic planning, cunningness, and smarts these Islamists simply beat the infidels’ intelligence teams hands down.

Therefore, the anti-terrorist squads (of infidels) must learn a few lessons from the Islamists. They should learn how to beat their enemy in their own game. Once these squads learn what real Islam is all about, it will be so simple to map out the correct strategies to extinguish Islamic terrorism—for good. Moreover, it costs so little to know “real Islam”!

A good starting point will be to comprehend the above verses. An old adage says, “Know your enemy.” This is true, but, the truer version should be, “Know your enemy’s motive.” The motive of the Islamists is Islam—not terrorism, not Iraq, not Afghanistan. Terrorism is just a tool employed, but the Qur’an is the motivator, and Islam is the final goal. There can be no clearer message than this. The civilized world is at war—a war with Islam. The Islamists will surely confirm this truth.

Ignore the above immutable words of Allah (the Qur’anic verses quoted above), and the defeat of the infidels is guaranteed.

“I would disagree that I’m safe to practice my faith (or ‘nonbelief’) in a Western democracy. Unfortunately, it looks more like a
dhimmicracy
to me each day.”

W
HILE MANY PEOPLE believe the violent strain within Islam is not representative of the entire religion, others challenge the West to read the sacred texts of Islam and to see how and why these fundamentalists may be interpreting the Qur’an correctly. Furthermore, many people who have left Islam believe the only way forward is for the world to unite and begin to truly appreciate the freedoms we enjoy and do everything we can to maintain them. This letter reminds us that the freedoms we enjoy are worth living and fighting for. Basharee Mortadd fears that Westerners don’t know Islam like he does. His story shows what’s wrong with Islam and why it’s not right for the West.

Basharee Mortadd’s Testimony

I was born to Muslim parents who, like most religious parents, were guilty of indoctrinating their children into a religion they never even chose for themselves. Fortunately for me, I always kept an open mind. I was also smart enough to keep my mouth shut until I moved to a Western country. Soon after, I learned enough about Islam to have had enough of it. I felt so ashamed to even feel proud of this ideology of hate. I cannot believe I used to actually invite non-Muslims to this faith. But my intentions were not evil. I used to invite them because they were my friends (being
the ignorant Muslim I was, I did not let the fact that I cannot befriend non-Muslims sink into my head). I did not want them to go to hell because I loved them and I wanted to “save” them from an eternal punishment.
