Not Destroying ISIS

Obama-ErtoganpngWestern media, President Obama, all Muslim countries, and myriad groups and individuals have been telling us that ISIS does not represent Islam. Muslims, especially in the West, insist that their beloved faith has nothing to do with the terrorists who are embarrassing the good and peaceful Muslims and who are giving Islam a bad name and dishonoring the real Islam.

It is a fact that Arab/Islamic culture highly values honor and pride and has little tolerance for those who dishonor Islam and Islamic “family values.” Because honor is so vital in Islamic culture, a whole section in Islamic law is dedicated to forgiving and not prosecuting certain murders when they are linked to honor, such as the killing of adulterers and apostates. Sharia has harsh punishment for those who dishonor Islam or deviate from its values and commandments.

Because of Muslim sensitivity to dishonor one would think that the majority of moderate Muslims, especially after 9/11, would mobilize their armies, police and legal resources to arrest, punish, imprison or execute those who kill, behead and terrorize in the name of the religion of peace.

Muslim legal systems in Saudi Arabia, Iran, Sudan and Yemen, do not hesitate to whip, amputate, stone and behead those who violate Islamic sexual taboos, but never behead, amputate or whip jihadists who terrorize in the name of Islam. Almost all Muslim governments claim to be moderate, but none have apologized for 9/11. They have no interest in rounding up terror groups except those who point their guns at Muslim governments. Why is that? Why is it that many Muslim governments allow the financial support and accommodation of terror groups as long as terrorists do their business elsewhere? Saudi Arabia, Qatar and other Gulf countries financed the radical resistance against Bashar Assad for one reason: he is not Sunni. And now when the radical resistance turned into ISIS, these same nations are asking the US to do something.

There are approximately 1.5 billion Muslims divided among 49 majority Muslim nations around the world and all claim to be peace-loving and “moderate.” Many of these Islamic nations have some of the largest and well-equipped armies in the Middle East and Africa. Pakistan possesses nuclear weapons. Egypt’s military has approximately 468,500 active personnel, in addition 1 million reservists. Turkey has 662,719 active personnel. Saudi Arabia’s military is estimated to have 150,000 active personnel and Pakistan has 550,000 active troops, 500,000 reserves.

Yet the huge armies of the above four Muslim nations are watching the ISIS slaughter and refuse to end it. Has anyone asked why? Where are the 1.5 billion moderate Muslims to save the reputation of Islam and fellow Muslims? Is there even a moderate Muslim army that will not hesitate to kill ISIS beheading their way from city to city? Will Muslim armies fight the alleged bad Muslims?

The answer is simple and I hope the West is ready for the truth. If Muslim governments go to war against ISIS, there is a good possibility that their armies will not kill ISIS but might actually join them against Arab governments. This is why:

The ultimate holy goal of Islam, both “moderate” and “radical,” is to reestablish the Islamic Khalifate and control the world. That is the goal of jihad. Historically all Islamic States were established by the sword, terror and violence. Even Mohammed himself established his first Islamic political entity in Arabia through the sword, violence and terror. Mohammed himself said in a hadith “I have been victorious through terror.” His followers took the sword, terror and beheading throughout Arabia to bring Arabs back to Islam after the death of Mohammed. Historically, Islam never created and maintained a Khalifate without the sword and the cruel punishments of Sharia. So the fact that ISIS is violent does not disqualify it in the eyes of Sharia from doing holy jihad in the name of Allah.

Thus, Muslim heads of state are caught in a quagmire. Sharia dictates that every Muslim head of state must do jihad as an obligation otherwise he is an apostate and must be removed from office — the old fashioned Islamic way like what happened to Saddam Hussein and Moammar Gaddafi. Sharia also gives the right to Muslims to wage jihad war against non-Muslim nations, but gives non-Muslim nations no right to reject Islamic jihad and fight back.

That is why Muslim leaders never want to wage serious war against the likes of Al Quaeda, ISIS, Boko Haram, Hamas, Hizbullah, etc. Muslim leaders do not want to be perceived as acting against Sharia by destroying the first budding Islamic State in Iraq and Syria.

Thus we see Saudi Arabia, Turkey, Gulf nations and Egypt, who are perfectly capable of destroying ISIS, refuse to move against ISIS and allow the slaughter of fellow Muslims, Christians and Kurds, rather than violate Sharia. All these Muslim governments are begging the US and Western nations to do their dirty work for them, as usual. America is the great Satan, so what more can America lose between friends?

President Obama today refuses to put troops on the ground in Syria and Iraq to destroy ISIS. I hope his refusal is because it is in the best interest of the United States and not because he too, like Arab leaders, does not want to destroy the first budding Islamic State In Iraq and the Levant.

    Naked truth !

    • Softly Bob

      Unfortunately, she’s preaching to the converted. The naked truth is like a crucifix to Satan where the Left are concerned.

      • CurmudgyOne

        This entire website and all websites of every kind preach to their choirs. That’s just a given. If anyone has ever been swayed in his or her thinking by a website that differed with them, I’d be surprised.

        • Softly Bob

          It is worthwhile even if only one person gets the message. There’s always at least one ‘undecided’ who may benefit.
          Unfortunately, it’s a slow process.

        • bill reitzes

          Then use this article in your discussions with those who still think ISIS is a grievance thing.
          See the people, and tell them the true story, and then see them again and tell them the same story.

        • JB Ziggy Zoggy

          Were you born with that opinion? If not, your assessment is wrong.

          Which of course, it is.

  • Michael Garfinkel

    Even a dispassionate observer would be suspicious of Obama’s motives regarding ISIS.

    One thing is already clear: Obama has yet to authorize sufficient force to destroy ISIS, and there’s every indication that he won’t.

    • JB Ziggy Zoggy

      No offense but how long have you been suspicious of Obama’s love affair with islam and jihad? He’s been President for six years now.

      The average American has no idea of who Barack Hussein Obama is, and where his allegiance lies. The only mainstream media source that refuses to broadcat politically correct worship of him 24/7 is Fox News, and not even any of the celebrity journos at Fox have come out and said what he really is.

      You and Darwish are hoping for the hopeless.

      • Michael Garfinkel

        No offense taken.

        I have always found Obama to be a dishonest and nasty piece of work, hence a perfect vessel for the Left.

        What is it that you think I’m “hoping for”?

        • JB Ziggy Zoggy

          That he will ever do anything in the interests of America. Although I must be wrong. You obviously see what Obama really is.

          • Michael Garfinkel

            Here’s what I think: Obama is, and always has been overrated.

            Essentially, he is a mediocrity who bought into the Leftist agenda hook, line and sinker, and he is incapable to transcending that narrative.

            Therefore, he is, in my view, incapable of being an effective President, and his election twice to that office has been profoundly detrimental.

            And I anticipate that his actions will become more destructive after the Senate changes hands in January, ’15.

            The problem of an American electorate that ushered him into office, with it’s growing array of ignorant and self-serving identity groups, presents a long-term challenge of of crisis proportions.

  • CurmudgyOne

    “Sharia dictates that every Muslim head of state must do jihad as an obligation otherwise he is an apostate and must be removed from office — the old fashioned Islamic way like what happened to Saddam Hussein and Moammar Gaddafi.”

    Hussein was removed by the US-led Coalition Troops and hid to try to save himself and escape. He wasn’t removed in the old-fashioned Islamic way.

    • Horace Yo

      Saddam was hanged by Iraqui Shiite militia & police until his head came off. What’s unislamic about that?

      • JB Ziggy Zoggy

        Once in a while they get it right.

  • Gee

    Turkey has decided to join the battle, today they too have attacked the Kurds to aid ISIS.

    Islam is the problem

    • mikep1738

      Haven’t you heard that several renowned scholars of Islam, the last two US Presidents and the current secretary of state, have assured us that Islam is a “religion” of peace and tolerance?

      • TruthWFree

        I assume your post is satire. I gave you an up vote. Bush, i hope, was clueless. Obama it appears is either a Muslim or Muslim sympathizer and certainly no Christian. We have got the fox in the hen house…and illegal at that. I sometimes think people like bush and the Pope know better but say nice things about it in the hopes their words will change it to what they say. Againn, if so, their strategy is a fool’s strategy.

    Ms. Darwish: With respect, you are kidding, right?
    B. Hussein Obama has done nothing in the best interests of the United States.
    He and his handlers are America-haters/-destroyers, pure and simple.

  • thult

    BARACK HUSSEIN OBAMA!! Wake up, Nonie and Jamie! Why would the SAME BARACK HUSSEIN OBAMA, who claimed that, the Muslim call to prayer is “one of the prettiest sounds on Earth” at sunset, lift a finger to get in the way of a possible renewed Caliphate?

    • RAM500

      Maybe, if Sharia turned out to oppose golf.

      • JB Ziggy Zoggy

        Or sucking d***. The First Tranny would be upset about that too.

  • Steakman911

    Excellent piece..nicley condensed in one article.
    Deserving of being broadcast around the world.
    Too bad most of the progressive left has ear plugs in…in their haste to exterminate Christianity they ally themselves with the Devil incarnate.

  • SoCalMike

    Obama and the Muslim world sitting around pointing fingers at each other.
    In a way, they both created ISIS but Obama was clearly the catalyst if not the root cause.
    During our so-called mission In Libya, the Obama Admin were taking weapons from Gadaffi and sending them to Sunni Jihadis in Syria trying to topple the Assad.
    This force diverted some of the men and weapons going here from Team Obama and sent them to Iraq where the army Obama left behind while pretending he didn’t was over run by this force armed by Team Obama.
    Not a soul in the press corps or opposition party will touch this.
    Obama more than anyone created this entire mess and danger to the whole world. He so loathes us he’s probably proud of himself.

    • JB Ziggy Zoggy

      You are correct on every point.

      I just wish other conservatives and moderates would wake the f*** up and see the same things.

  • barney59

    I have felt all along that Obama wants to allow the creation of the Caliphate. I do not trust his motives, I do not trust him one bit…

    • JB Ziggy Zoggy

      Trust your feelings. Obama hates America.

  • Capt Bob

    Because they are one in the same. Ask Obama

  • Robert Waddell

    Obama is one of them! Obama isn’t puting boots on the ground because he loves ISIS, he could care less about American troops lives! Make no mistake, Soros is dictating every move Obama makes! Soros was behind the IRS targeting republicans! Obama has done nothing! Soros was behind Fast&furious! Obama did nothing! Soros was behind Benghazi! Obama did nothing! Soros was behind ObamaCare! Obama signed it into law! Soros was behind Hamas attacking Israel! Obama denounced Israel! Soros is the evil in the White House!

    • Joy Beum

      After the elections, when we have a majority of conservatives, the impeachments will begin (I pray). The list of ‘impeachees’ is long and the offenses despicable and horrendous and unforgivable! I will NEVER forget or forgive Benghazi.

  • Robert Waddell

    A vote for a democrat, is a vote for George Soros! He backs Hillary Clinton 100% Just like he does Obama! 666 the mark of Soros!

  • Robert Waddell

    Obama can’t fight ISIS properly because Soros has forbidden it!

  • herb benty

    ISIS exists to invade Israel, Barry is part of it.

    • Sara

      Either through ISIS, funding Hamas or giving Iran nukes, he’s dead set on destroying Israel.

      • herb benty

        Yes Sara, I saw the unmistakable hate on Obama’s face when he met Netanyahu. And the big smiles with Putin, China, Islam. Please keep in mind that God Almighty likes to defeat a large foe using smaller forces. Israel is in good hands from here on in.

        • Joy Beum

          And let’s not forget his elaborate celebrations (on the tax dollar of the American people) of muslim holidays. You’re right about God using smaller forces to defeat larger foes…and I am waiting with baited breath for that!

  • JB Ziggy Zoggy

    And they hate infidels. A lot.

  • Hank Rearden

    Excellent, excellent article.

    To sum up, in the words of Brigitte Gabriel, “the moderates are irrelevant.” And most of us suspect that the “moderates” are cheering the radicals on in their hearts.

  • Pericles

    “President Obama today refuses to put troops on the ground in Syria
    and Iraq to destroy ISIS. I hope his refusal is because it is in the
    best interest of the United States and not because he too, like Arab
    leaders, does not want to destroy the first budding Islamic State In
    Iraq and the Levant.”

    Even before reading this statement by Nonie I had the thought that Obama may actually be in support of an Islamic Caliphate. He supported the Muslim Brotherhood in Egypt. He supports Erdogan of Turkey, refused to condemn the barbaric repression of the Purple Revolution in Iran, applied unreasonable pressure on Israel to cede land to jihadist Palestinians, classified domestic terrorism as ‘workplace violence’, denied the Koran and the Hadiths as the source of Muslim jihadism, etc. There’s a pattern here and it’s not indicative of a commitment to eradicate Jihad and jihadists. His sympathies do not lie with the victims of jihad but with the perpetrators.

  • El Cid

    In short, leaders in the Arab countries and territories embrace the notion of Islamic Government and reject Western ideology. Their actions conform to these beliefs. They will fight until a super tyrant emerges and unites them for a time. Iran will get the bomb and ensure the continuation of the Shia/Sunni divide.

  • Zolicon

    Not Destroying ISIS but they are destroying everything else.

  • Chippy

    Brain dead Islam. Criminals just love it as they can kill without guilt.

  • mikep1738

    The difference between the “Good Muslims” and the “Bad Muslims” is that the Bad ones lowered the veil and blew their cover.
