THEÂ Religion of Peace has been wailing about “intolerance” and uttering veiled threats again this week against us ignorant infidels who can’t seem to get it through our thick skulls that Islam – damn it! – isn’t all about terrorism, murder, mayhem and insane behaviour.
Here’s a flavour of what was said in Pakistan at the weekend by those attending a seminar called World Situation, Peace and Religious Leaders.
Dr Babar Awan
The seminar was presided over by Federal Minister for Parliamentary Affairs, Dr Babar Awan, who is reported here as saying that while Muslims respected the West’s freedom of expression, such freedom:
Must never damage religious feelings of any human being.
Imbecile!
He added that Muslims:
Would never tolerate the blasphemy of the prophet and other sacred personalities.
He said that the world needed to change its view of Muslims, and to search for the reasons which led to the present day confrontation. The UN, he added, must legislate to stop “blasphemy and disrespect of religions”. Only then would world peace be achieved.
More bizarre were the words of Punjab Labour Minister Ashraf Khan Sohna who accused “adventurist” leaders of the West of pushing the whole world into a war of religions, in which Muslims had suffered the most losses.
But he believed that:
Muslims would emerge as eventual victors since they always respected other religions.
He then he played the victim card:
Muslims are being cornered in the world to such an extent that they are forced to beg for peace.
No circle-jerk like this is complete without the presence of a few suicidal dhimmis prepared to publicly lick Islamic arse and pander to its paranoia, and on this occasion the organisers called on the Principal Officer of US Consulate, Bryan D Hunt, and Christian writer John W Kiser to do just that.
John W Kiser
Hunt wants “a culture of tolerance and respect of others” to forge “a lasting harmony among world religions”. He said all messengers of God:
Brought a message of love and peace, and they practically displayed it with their deeds.
This has to be fuckwittery at its very worst.
Kiser has recently written a book about the life and achievements of the long-dead revolutionary leader of Algeria, Abd el-Kader, and he said in a recent interview that his hero should be a role model:
For the angry youth of the Muslim world who have legitimate grievances. I think the emir shows that you can be a good Muslim, you can be a warrior and fight, but you can also know when not to fight and how to fight and be compassionate and follow the rules of your faith as divine law …
The book’s title is a right mouthful – Commander of the Faithful: The Life and Times of Emir Abd el-Kader, A Story of True Jihad.
Said Kiser, a master of gobbledegook:
The important thing to understand about jihad is that it is fundamentally a process of spiritual hygiene. To be a servant of God, whether you are a Muslim, monk, Jewish Kabbalist, or rabbi, you need to work on your inner self, and that primarily means self-mastery of those nasty demons, which the Catholics call pride, envy, greed, lust and so forth.

“Well you started it”
“We did not!”
“Yes you did, you blew up the World Trade Center”

The religion of peace says, “Submit to islam or we will kill you!”

Hmm, Jihad is spiritual hygiene? Here was me thinking its was simply murder. I feel spiritually enlightened already.

This idiot is re-writing dictionary definitions: respect now means suppression of free speech. Peace, as in religion of, means we will kill anyone who disagrees with us. This guy should give up smoking camel dung.

Do you ever get the feeling that, should athiests ever start to organise and group, that the dominant religions would unite against a common enemy?

F*ck him.

Mad, Muderous muslims.
Next time you watch a “Lord of the Rings” film and see The Orcs, that is probably what the West will face from without, and within.
It won’t be pretty and a lot of innocent Asians/Arabs will cop it because of the fanaticism of their superstious countrymen. I feel sorry for the ordinary folk who work only for their families as most humans do.
Islam will not win. They see us as soft and decadent. We are. That is because our social system allows us to thrive and prosper in a benign environment. Because of this we are able to afford to pay people called “soldiers” who go out and do our dirty work. If we tell them, they have the technology and the will to wipe out Islamists everywhere.
Pork sausage anyone?
