Those Murderous Muslims
Several Islamic wise men in Iraq
issued a Fatwa today. A Fatwa is a binding pronouncement made by a
recognized scholar or scholars. This Fatwa might appear positive at first
blush, but if you examine it for more than a minute you should feel the same
revulsion that I felt.Basically the
Fatwa is critical of the attacks on Muslims that have been occuring in recent
weeks. The Fatwa declares it anathema for a Muslim to kill another Muslim. Do
you see a glaring piece missing from this announcement?
Let's put it in a different perspective. Let's
say that here in the United States, the Ku Klux Klan issued a press release
saying that they denounce anyone who persecutes Catholics and Jews, and condemns
anyone who lynches either. Would you notice anything missing from their
newfound piety?
I suspect that black
people would howl in protest. The Klan would be justly observed to be saying in
effect that lynching Catholics and Jews are distracting from their larger goal
of lynching Blacks. Their press release would be recognized as a cynical ploy
to gain recognition for turning a new leaf, while at the same time they can
renew their persecution and violence towards their principle
victims.
So why is anyone impressed
with these Muslim scholars just because they call for an end to violence against
other Muslims? What about violence towards Americans, or others? They still
insist on waging Jihad against us and against all Jews everywhere. Nice
guys.
We will not be safe until Islamic
clerics renounce all violence against us, or until they are dead. I'm expecting
that the latter will occur first.
