Is There A Religious War Being Waged Against Islam?

11:04 pm, Wed 3 Feb 2010

The Muslims are under attack both militarily and ideologically - that is self evident and a fact that only hard-line Zionist and Western ideological propagandists seek to dismiss.

The real question is not whether we are being attacked but why.

The main narrative that supportive left wing liberals put forward is to steal oil from the Muslim world. This sounds plausible in Iraq, but how does that explain Palestine, Afghanistan or the backing of Israel to attack Lebanon which Condi Rice spookily called ‘Birth Pangs’ of a new Middle East?

Why sanction Iran or seek regime change there when it sells oil at the market rate already? The oil lobby in Washington, ‘Big Oil’, lobbied and lost against the neo-con plan for Iraq, suggesting Big Oil had nothing to gain from a destroyed and destabilised Iraq. Something was missing and oil security alone could not explain it.

A possible clue was given in George Bush’s speech when he spoke of a ‘Crusade’. It was quickly brushed off by the corporate Media as a ‘mistake'. Others however believed it was something more sinister and far more intelligent than a slip of the tongue. It was, in fact, a ‘dog whistle’ to Christian right wing voters who were seeking exactly that: a Crusade against the Muslims to hasten the return of the Messiah and the final battle between good and evil.

If that was indeed the first clue, more were to follow. The largest private army in the world, Blackwater, was then sent to ‘stabilise’ the ‘freedom’ America had given to the Muslims. It later emerged that it was headed (again by chance some would argue) by a devout Christian who hired those who followed his faith.

His mission, he told his high ranking team, was to ‘wipe the Muslims off the faith of this earth’.

The neo-conservatives, of course, that paid for and sent Blackwater into the Muslim world were, you guessed it, by-and large, Jewish and Christian Zionists.

Yes, there were pieces of evidence littered everywhere that those who were pushing for war in Muslim countries in particular held deep-seated religious convictions, not just financial ones. Remember how Tony Blair famously remarked ‘How God would judge him’ when talking of the invasion of Iraq?

General Wesley Clark reported in his latest book that the White House had drawn up a list of exclusively Muslim nations to target as enemies over the next four years (Afghanistan, Iraq, then Syria, Lebanon, Libya, Iran, Somalia and the Sudan).

Strange stories surfaced about the military and its Christian revival. In Iraq for example, a government-paid chaplain had been baptizing American soldiers as Christians in exchange for giving them water to take showers.

Others were more chilling. Whilst serving under Bush, General William G. Boykin believed that these wars were being fought against Satan himself. In public, this military officer and aide to Bush insisted that the mission of the American military was to defeat Islam in the name of Christianity. The Bush White House refused to distance itself from Boykin's claim and defended Boykin's appropriation of the American military for religious purposes as "free speech".

Preaching in his military uniform before a religious congregation in Oregon, General Boykin proclaimed, "We're a Christian nation, because our foundation and our roots are Judeo-Christian. Did I say Judeo-Christian? Yes. Judeo-Christian."

He continued, "The enemy that has come against our nation is a spiritual enemy. His name is Satan. And if you do not believe that Satan is real, you are ignoring the same Bible that tells you about God."

Just in case you did not know who Satan was, he explained, comparing himself to Muslims, General Boykin offered this taunt "My God is bigger than his." His other comments in further interviews proved his barely concealed hatred towards Muslims and Islam.

To that same congregation, still in military uniform, General Boykin said of George W. Bush that, "He was appointed by God" to be leader of the United States.

And what was he appointed to do? Boykin expands, 'Ladies and gentlemen, we will never abandon Israel, we will never walk away from our commitment to Israel because our roots are there. Our religion came from Judaism and therefore these radicals will hate us forever."

But he is not of course the only religious fanatic in a position within the military establishment of the US.

James Woolsey the Director of Central Intelligence in a little known speech in Israel talking about Iran and Syria was quoted saying:

"If we use force, we should use it decisively, not execute some surgical strike. It is a shame that Israel and the US have so far failed in participating in a move against Syria and Iran last summer'. He paused. 'Finally' he said looking into the eyes of the audience, 'we must not forget who we are. We, as Jews and Christians are heirs of the tradition deriving from Judaism.'

The most recent and perhaps the most telling clue that those behind the wars being waged and being pushed were in fact waging a Christian and Jewish Crusade against the Muslim world was a small under-reported story that appeared on the ABC news website.

It revealed that the guns used by American forces had Bible codes on them, referring to the digits imprinted onto the gun sights that referred to passages in the Bible. The codes had been put there before Iraq they claimed. Perhaps so, but again at the very least it showed the link between the military and the Christian right, and to the Christian right Muslims are the enemy of Jesus.

Of course it is not just driven by right wing Christians but also a growing militancy within the Jewish community.

Whether or not this ideological and military war is driven solely by religious extremists within American & European political circles is a matter of debate. However no one can deny that they are playing a large and secretive part in the push for war. The question is how large a part it is.

The real religious extremism, then, does not primarily come from the Muslims who are taking up arms in a bid to stop their own occupation and slaughter but the trillion dollar war machine run by men in suits who talk of ‘freedom’ in public but who follow their religious books of war in secret.

For further research into this we recommend the superb books Israel Clash of Civilisation by Jonathan Cooke and The Last Crusade by Barbara Victor. Alternatively, come to our discussion groups around the UK and discuss this and other matters...we would love to hear your thoughts on the matter.

Bin Laden makes threats about new attacks in the name of Islam (Al jazeera English, today) and you ask why there is a war on Islam? Ok then let's me be plain. Biblical Christianity will continue to be embraced and propagated if Muslims like Bin Laden continue to threaten, and Islam continues to try and impose it's self on the world. That plain enough for you? We will not sit back and let Islam impose it's self on us just because Muslims think we in the west and the world must fight fair, give Muslims a break, and because they think they are victims and are owed. If you think so you can all go to hell..

Reality Check

Submitted by CI on Mon, 25/01/2010 - 4:48am.

Even if MPACUK and Muslims oppose Biblical Christianity being used against Islam, the argument is academic, because it will be used anyway no matter what is said or done by Muslims and MPACUK. So do what you want, but the reality of Biblical Christianity's use will still be here at the end of the day even if it is unfair to Muslims, and that Muslims consider themselves victims and must be allowed the opportunity to spread islam without the use of the military or religion by anyone else. against them. Get use to it.

PS If you think by being political active muslims will get government's to control Biblical Christianity I suggest you forget it because no government has and no government will. I give you the governments of China,North Korea, Vietnam, and Iran as examples of failures. Plus they have extensive military power to booth and they still failed to crush Biblical Christianity.(-:

Clash of civilisations

Submitted by wahine on Mon, 25/01/2010 - 6:47am.

Very true. The democratic counties of the world view Islamic civilastion as "uncivilised". A faith that kills homosexuals, stones adulterers, has laws that allow parents to kill their children and beat their women whom they do not consider equal to a man is barbaric.

Fine in the 600's but humanity has moved on in the last 1400 years - not so Islam.

It is called Karma - Islam slaughtered, invaded and persecuted Christians, Jews, Hindus, Bhuddists, polytheists and all who would not follow the ideology of Allah - what goes around, comes around.

And noone in the free countries of the West wants to go back to those medievil times again.

Listen to your preachers of hate - they leave Christians and Jews for dead with their vile hate and ignorance. Read Islamic history and take a good long look at Islam. What did it ever bring that was good? Just like communism it was tried, tested - and failed. Has it ever occurred to you who the real Satanic forces in the world are? Because I think the rest of the world is pretty sure that it is Islam.

Wahine who did Jews slaughter

Wahine who did Jews slaughter that christians gassed and burnt 6 million of them.
Bush the warmongering criminals has said god told me to free the iraqis ,so he did by killing and maiming millions of them.
christian soldiers wrote on bombs pray to Allah if he does not listen the try Jesus,the one side has been engaged in a religious war against Muslims ,the muslims are led by stooges and vassals ,that is why this has not turned into world war three ,otherwise the result would be worse than ww2.
individual loonies are portrayed as Representatives of Muslims, yet Bush and Blair were voted into power by tens of millions of christians even after they knew they had lied to attack iraq, in which millions of iraqis had been killed-maimed or made refugees,so the world know who the Real followers of satanic forces are, they are not the ones who defend their homes-lands and dignity, they are the ones who attack-kill-torture and rape the people who defend their lands.

Israel Admits To ‘Jewish Jihad’ Against Islam

Submitted by HotterThanAPile... on Mon, 25/01/2010 - 1:01pm.

“By way of deception we do war” is mossads slogan.

There is a concerted campaign against Islam.

It takes place by means of direct military action, or covert methods involving clandestine subterfuge (Iran), media warfare (sections of Islamaphobe press) or cultural brainwashing.

The izzies have even been brazen enough to admit that they are fighting a jewish jihad against Islam.

Bush said that "God" told him to invade Afghanistan.

Blair joined him in prayer sessions in Crawford, before Campbell refuted it with "We don't do God".

Blackwater/Xe mercenaries think they are the reincarnation of the templar knights, and killing muslims is their calling.

Izzies have rabbi's in their death squads, telling them they are doing gods work by killing muslim women and children.

How much more blatant do you want it?

WAR OF IDEOLOGIES

Submitted by ASH2 on Mon, 25/01/2010 - 10:24pm.

we only go by the litteral meaning of war, but the war on islam started years ago when people first started traiding with interest....pornography.....legal homosexuality.....same sex marriages.....the removing of the hijab...list goes on...

they destroyed the khalifate of the turkish muslims... some members of the algerian elections of the 90's which was one by a party who wanted to implement shariah were killed....the taliban are now being targeted....yemen is being targeted....wherever their is an uprising of muslims, these poeple are being killed and tortured in the name of democracy.

a question.........why when it comes to implementing democracy in other countries it is o.k to invade countries, kill, torture?

hypocrisy is another trate of the kuffaaaar.

its time to wake up muslims...

Phoney Blair deserves Judaism

Submitted by Cosa_Nostra on Mon, 25/01/2010 - 10:24pm.

This man has more in common with Judaism. It is totally different from Islam, Christianity or the other normal faith where humanity and equity is vital. Instead, Judaism is exclusionary, and not based upon the virtues of an individual but the a contract "God" made with them when they self declared themselves Aryans or "Chosen People".

That is why Phoney Blair wasted Parliament time cos he could not care less because the "contract" was more important to him than anything else. I wish the Catholic church excommunicates him 21 century style, I am sure they will gain more friends from the publicity whether good or bad.

Submitted by Q on Mon, 25/01/2010 - 10:26pm.

Shaan's comment "Wahine who did Jews slaughter that christians gassed and burnt 6 million of them." suggests that the Jewish collective were guilty of some murder that provided the rationale for the murder of the 6 million. It implies that the Jews in so way deserved it. If such a principle is established then should Muslim individuals in one part of the world and in some period of history have carried out some abuse of another faith group then it is permissible for sucessive generations ot seek revenge. It in fact would legitimise Islamophobia.

The next comment "the muslims are led by stooges and vassals ,that is why this has not turned into world war three ,otherwise the result would be worse than ww2." is even more absurd and dangerous. The reality of Muslims nations is that they lack the soci-economic frameworks to prosecute World War. While some states can manufacture small arms there are none with the industrial capacity of Israel, never mind USA or UK. Despite attempts at investment and development the failure to invest in education and create meritocratic societies where everyone regardless of faith or gender has a broadly equal opportunity and human capital can be exploited.
Let us not forget that had it not been for the atheist Communist bloc the Arab armies in the various conflicts with Israel wouldn't have had any weapons. And these countries only supplied the Arabs for their money and as an extension of the Cold War.

Good answer 'Q'

Submitted by wahine on Tue, 26/01/2010 - 12:58am.

I suggest Shaan read the history of WW1 and WW2 then he would not need to ask such uneducated questions like "whom did the Jews slaughter to deserve their fate". It is very hard to debate with Shaan who has obviously very little knowledge of world history .

As for ASH2 - another very uneducated poster. The Turkish Caliphate destoyed itself when it committed to fight with Germany against the allies in WW1 (around the time they "ethnically cleansed" 1.5 million Xian Armenians) - unfortunately they lost and as a result the M.E. was then controlled by the victors, France and UK.

The sad thing is that there was no reason for the Caliphate to go to war to defend themselves (noone was attacking them) - they joined Germany in an aggressive war in order to try and recapture the Balkan lands which had managed to free themselves from Islamic rule.

There is noone who has decimated Islamic empires more than the muslims themselves. Ash - go educate yourself. The so called war of ideologies started when muslims met western civilisation and found it superior to theirs - the Ottoman Empire was one of the first to realise this. In the 1800's they brought in the Ottoman land reforms where peasant farmers could buy their own lands, like western farmers, to give muslims security of tenure whereas before they had nothing which led to bad agricultural practises and famine. You have a computer - go read about it, it was all part of the fall of Islam and their backward societies.

ASH2's analysis

Submitted by Q on Tue, 26/01/2010 - 10:05am.

AHS2's analysis is flawed because it fails to acknowledge that the Ottoman Khalifat was teetering on collapse from the end of the 18th C. Belated and inadequate reforms were implemented under the broad title of Tanzimat. The Ottoman Empire was in competetion with other empires and they exploited the immense resentment of Ottoman rule amongst primarily Christian communities. As the Ottoman's like other Muslim rulers failed to invest in education & technology these empires were able to take the Ottoman Empire aparrt piece by piece. In the Maghreb, piracy in the Mediterranean and raids along the Spanish, French and Italian coasts for slaves resulted in the French taling the initiative to end the situation and make the seaways safe for trade. Although they had no initial plans for colonialisation, once they seized control they were reluctant to relinquish it. In the Levant there was a particualr issue that the feudal ruling class and its allies relied prior to Tanzimat upon exploiting the Christian and Jewish communities and levying a vast array of taxes and duties. This provided no incentive for the ruling elites to invest in themselves or the region. Once Tanzimat ended this source of money they responded by selling land to Zionists. They also aspired to reverse political developments and reinstate the pre-Tanzimat status. This second issue is common across much of the Muslim world. This reactionary stance has a number of impacts; 1. It inherently alienates the dominant West. 2. It conflicts with modern international values 3. It renders the Muslim world weak as it fails to look forward and thus fails to address the problems of the present & future.
Behind much of the rhetoric is the message to the West "Go away and leaves us alone" implying that without western influence that problems will be solved. yet the same pundits that express this view demand that the west share the benefits of its successful economic / political development with the Muslim world, and demands the protections from the West that the Muslim world will not provide its own inhabitants. The issue of the UNCHR highlights the disconnect between prevailing values between the international community and the Muslim community. Muslims in UK demand that Muslims are afforded all the rights espoused by UNHCR but refuse to condemn the denial of the same rights in the Muslim states. In the same manner Muslims and others decry Israel for discriminatory practices in relation to Israeli Palestinians citing apartheid but conveniently ignore that Islam itself promotes an even more extreme form of apartheid.
Belatedly the Ottomans realised that the inequality within Sharia law weakened the state, but acted too late to reverse the impacts. Too many people here are failing to understand and learn the same lesson. The conflict between East & West, Islam v Judeo-Christianity is a continuum extanding back over centuries. Both sides have to end it and simply blaming the west will not do.

The jewish people did nothing to deserve what happened to them in German - I suppose I am not surprised that you would pose such a stupid question because your lack of education on world history and politics seems to be zilch.

You seem to be obsessed by muslims being sexually abused by Jews and Christians, so you obviously haven't even read the history of your own Prohet and his regulations on how female slaves and captives could be abused.

What an idiotic thing to have put in writing - reading the Quran one learns much about Mohammeds sexual deviancy, his commands to convert, expel or slaughter non muslims and his greed in taking one fifth of the booty and the most beautiful women after his wars.
I would be ashamed to follow a Prophet who was obviously a sexual deviant and warlord and who actually had his followers publish such demented ravings. As for believing them - one has to question the mental status of those who do.

Such an eye opener, because what ever was written in the Bible was for those ancient times and admitted as such, but the word of the Prophet is forever and is totally incompatible and unacceptable in the educated democracies of the west.
