One of the least-noted defining moments of the early twenty-first century came in the wake of the 9/11 jihad attacks, when President George W. Bush insisted that the Islamic world held the same values that the West held, and so if a few political adjustments were made, the problem of Islamic jihad terrorism would disappear, and the world would enter a new period of harmony and peace. The only problem with this vision was that the basic premise was false: the prevailing values in much of the Islamic world are quite different from those of Westerners, as a prominent Muslim cleric once again recently demonstrated.
Bush made one of many optimistic, irenic and completely fictional assertions about Islam on June 24, 2002 in the Rose Garden, when he envisioned a Palestinian Authority that was a beacon of freedom in the Middle East: “If liberty can blossom in the rocky soil of the West Bank and Gaza,” he asserted, “it will inspire millions of men and women around the globe who are equally weary of poverty and oppression, equally entitled to the benefits of democratic government.”
After that dubious claim, Bush went on to express his fantasies about Islam in general: “I have a hope for the people of Muslim countries. Your commitments to morality, and learning, and tolerance led to great historical achievements. And those values are alive in the Islamic world today. You have a rich culture, and you share the aspirations of men and women in every culture. Prosperity and freedom and dignity are not just American hopes, or Western hopes. They are universal, human hopes.”
Bush is unlikely ever to have heard of Tareq al-Suwaidan, an Islamic scholar and Muslim Brotherhood leader from Kuwait, but he would have done well to ponder what Brotherhood and other Muslim leaders were actually saying about their values. And they’re still saying it: MEMRI recently reported that al-Suwaidan, who spent several years in Tulsa, Oklahoma, offered a vision of Islamic “morality” and “tolerance” that differed sharply from Bush’s bland and naïve assumptions.
“By Allah,” al-Suwaidan said, “what happened during the Al-Aqsa Flood should be taught in the most prestigious colleges. The planning was unbelievable. People who are experts in planning know that what happened could only succeed with divine intervention, and profound and extraordinary planning.”
The Al-Aqsa Flood is the name that Hamas gave to its bloody and brutal massacre of 1,200 Israelis on Oct. 7, 2023. Rather than expressing revulsion at this horrific demonstration of immorality and intolerance, al-Suwaidan was saying that it should be taught as an example of skillful strategic planning, as well as actual divine intervention. The idea that he or other Muslims “share the aspirations of men and women in every culture,” as Bush claimed, doesn’t seem to have occurred to al-Suwaidan.
Al-Suwaidan continued: “Can you see how many young men and women in our Arab world – forget the Arab world, in the West – consider [Hamas’s Al-Qassam Brigades spokesman] Abu Obeida a role model?…The Al-Aqsa Flood is the best leadership training course in the world.”
In the West? Why, of course. Al-Suwaidan, like everyone else, could see thoroughly indoctrinated and propagandized college and university students all over the U.S. praise Hamas and celebrate the Oct. 7 attacks.
Nevertheless, he was troubled that Allah had not yet granted the Muslims total victory: “Blood is flowing in Gaza like rivers. Where is the victory that we were promised? Why is there no divine intervention to stop the bloodshed of children, women, the elderly, and to stop the hunger in Gaza?” In referring to the “victory that we were promised,” al-Suwaidan is likely referring to the fact that the Qur’an promises success to the believers in this world as well as the next: “Allah gave them the reward of this world and the good reward of the hereafter. Allah loves those who do good deeds.” (3:148).
That victory has so far eluded the Muslims in Gaza, and for al-Suwaidan, that only meant that they should dedicate themselves all the more wholeheartedly to jihad for the sake of Allah, even if it would mean that they would die in the process: “Man, I do not cry for them. I am crying for myself for not being among them. This is how a believer should aspire for martyrdom.”
Al-Suwaidan then offered a succinct and telling enunciation of Islamic values: “Preserving life is not the only objective of the shari’a – these include the preserving of religion, life, lineage, intellect, and property. These are the main objectives of the shari’a. Which one of these objectives has higher priority? It is preserving religion, not preserving life. This is why there is a thing called ‘Jihad.’ If preserving life had the priority, there would be no Jihad – we would abolish it. Preserving religion takes priority over preserving life.”
“Preserving religion takes priority over preserving life.” Thus peace is not the ultimate goal; Islamization is. Will anyone in the State Department, as they continue to press Israel for ceasefires that would let Hizballah and Hamas survive to murder more Israelis, take note of this statement and ponder its implications? Of course not.
A big flood to wash out all those Illegal Aliens, Terrorists and Democrats
Yes, and the only way “Blood is flowing in Gaza like rivers” (derp) in Gaza is the blood let by Hamas jihadist terrorists, local cutthroats and child rapists, all of which abound in that Hellhole.
” Where is the victory that we were promised?” Well, Allah is a fable and the IDF is superior to you subhumans in every respect, so what do you expect, you retard?
“Why is there no divine intervention to stop the bloodshed of children, women, the elderly, and to stop the hunger in Gaza?” Why? Because the imaginary “Allah” isn’t God, Paleosimian children, women, and the elderly aren’t being murdered by the IDF, and the overfed and typically overweight population of the Gaza Grease Pit aren’t starving. The only bloodshed of children, women and the elderly is perpetrated by Paleosimians, not the IDF, and it’s Jewish blood, not Paleosimian.
Khlamydia Harris’s and Alzheiemer Joe’s handlers would probably offer Al-Suwaidan instant citizenship with no visa required if they were to read what he’s written.
Nobody called for the Hamas cowards to ceasefire.
In the West the only people saying that we share the same values with Islam are the beta boy men and the single cat box wine ladies. You know…..democrats.
Yes. I think most beta boys are actually omega boys, and while I can drink wine out of a box, I don’t want any cats in my apartment and I don’t want any of those anti-American freaks to vote. No soccer moms, woketards or environ-mental cases, either.
Ban Muslim immigration. We’ve learned nothing since 9-11.
If we criticize the motto “Preserving religion takes priority over preserving life”, we should realize our own society prioritizes preserving a self-centered lifestyle over life. Our society tolerates the killing of innocent fetuses so people can have no consequences for their choices. If we want Islamic society to pay for its crimes, we should also want our society to pay for its crimes.
Psalm 127:3-5
3 Children are a gift from God; they are his reward. 4 Children born to a young man are like sharp arrows to defend him.
Who says “preserving religion takes priority over preserving life?” Morons, obviously, because the sentence should be “the preservation of religion takes precedence over the preservation of life,” It’s no surprise that morons who believe them are semi-literate.
And the Psalms verse you shared is correct. Children are definitely a gift from God. Infanticide for the sake of convenience and the Baby Holocaust may be just spiffy to depraved sluts and left-wingers but it sure isn’t spiffy to decent people and God.
The West may not want be at war with Islam but Islam is at war with the West. We can deny it and wish that was not true but it does not change the facts.
Not everyone believes in life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness.
Some believe in death, submission and misery.
And their goal is to force everyone in the world to be as miserable as they are and kill anyone who does not agree to submit to them.
That is the way they justify their misery.
Sad but true.
“Death, submission and misery” would’ve been Mohammad’s motto if he were honest. I wonder if Islamic countries put that in their fundamental laws?
Sure, those practicing Islam or conforming with it for safety can be like others if they can live according to universal human needs. Their pirate ideology does not permit that.
There are no such things as “universal human hopes, or “universal” (worldwide) human ANYTHING.
Bush’s idiotic and reverse reality Bizarro speak and deeds put Islam in a wholly undeserved position of government sponsored and enforced respect, reverence and privilege, and that continues to increase as time goes by. It’s a rapid progression, too. Now genocidal, depraved and contemptible Islam is treated as though it were an Abrahamic religion and equal to the world’s other major religions rather than a cult of Mohammad, who was quite possibly the least perfect man who ever lived. In fact, he was quite possibly the most evil, considering the 1400 years and continual jihad of all things murderous and depraved. imams speak at the White House on a regular basis and even did so when Trump was President. (Shame on you, Big Don.) Mosques are all over the place, even in areas with few or or no moslems, which is a typical Moslem tactic to show people who’s boss, as non-moslem Indonesians say. They’re allowed to blare their primitive and unnecessary calls to prayer over loud speakers in violation of multiple laws which concern public disturbance, noise pollution, etc. They’re allowed to pollute any public displays which honor holidays put up by adherents of other religions, such as Christmas and Hannukkah, with their supremacist star and crescent symbols. They’re excused for their CONSTANT jihad of violence, lies and attempts to subvert America to islam while simultaneously portrayed as victims, just like trannies, the Alphabet People, “woke” leftists and other scum who practice tribalism. The tribalists ally themselves with the islamopithecines but the second the koranimals no longer need the equally anti-American tribalists, they’ll attempt to murder them all.
Islamopithecines murdered 2,996 innocent people on 911 and America has been apologizing to the entire religion and its cultists ever since.
George Bush has done irreparable harm to America, in my opinion. I think this dilemma will outlast America, although it’s only a matter of time before the rest of the world expunges islam. No religion or cult lasts forever, particularly one which is implacably hostile to all other people, regardless of their religion or lack thereof. Only a fool could believe otherwise. As if unholy Islam will be protected by its mythical moon deity, Allah.
“Moslem scholar” is an oxymoron. The “ scholars” spend their days trying to make sense of the insane ravings of an 8th century rapist paedophile
Quote, ” Amid his joy and excitement, however, al-Suwaidan was troubled that Allah had not yet granted the Muslims total victory: “Blood is flowing in Gaza like rivers. Where is the victory that we were promised? Why is there no divine intervention to stop the bloodshed of children, women, the elderly, and to stop the hunger in Gaza?”
Well Mr Al-Suwaidan, there are some things that YOU ought to know if you do due diligence to your Islamic faith. I suggest that you work backwards from your Prophet
Mohammad.
So before him it was Jesus, I suggest to you that you read The New Testament in order to get a greater understanding.
Try this one for starters.
The statement “you will know them by their fruit” (Matthew 7:16) is part of Jesus’ teaching about recognizing true followers and avoiding false prophets. Beginning with verse 15, we read this context: “Beware of the false prophets, who come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly are ravenous wolves. You will know them by their fruits. Grapes are not gathered from thorn bushes nor figs from thistles, are they? So every good tree bears good fruit, but the bad tree bears bad fruit. A good tree cannot produce bad fruit, nor can a bad tree produce good fruit. Every tree that does not bear good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire. So then, you will know them by their fruits” (Matthew 7:15–20).
I will not over load your brains at the moment, so once you have read all of the New Testament, then we shall make a start on the Old Testament ( The book of the Jews )
I wish you well.
