Faulty Conversions

Islamism, Islamophobia, Terrorism, Christians, Jews,  Judaism, Convert  : Dry Bones cartoon.
During the heyday of the Spanish Inquisition, converts to Christianity who backslid into their old non-Christian ways were broken on the rack and burnt alive at the stake. Converts to Judaism who backslide into the worship of alien gods can be excommunicated. But I don’t know how Islam deals with “faulty conversions”.

I wondered about this when I read the news story about two American converts to Islam who were just arrested for planning a machine gun attack on a U.S. Army base in California. Apparently, one Joseph Anthony Davis of Seattle, now Abu Khalid Abdul-Latif, and a certain Frederick Domingue Jr. of L.A.,, now Walli Mujahidh were busted when they arrived at a warehouse to pick up machine guns they (it is alleged) intended to use in an alleged terror plot.

If true, then their conversions to the religion of peace were clearly faulty. If they confused the self-cleansing concept of Jihad with the blood-bath murder of infidels, then they must have totally misunderstood ...Right?

According to authorities, Abdul-Latif and Mr. Mujahidh were inspired by the 2009 Fort Hood shootings, which killed 13 people. In that case, Maj. Nidal Malik Hasan, a US Army psychiatrist, apparently acted alone using his personal military weapons.

WOW!!!
converts to "that religion of "peace"" tried to get into the garden of Eden to do the nasty with those "72 virgins"? Perhaps they also should be buried at sea, and given 72 sea urchins ,, ,,, ,,,, ,,,,, ,,,,,, ....

Oh boy, at last I get the first comment. As an article in this week's Aish.com article wondering where George Orwell is. They were referring to the "Newspeak" that he wrote of in 1984; in particular they had a lot of fun with the book. Here's a partial quote: . What were the ruling party's slogans on the outside of the 1,000-foot-tall building housing the ministry? Weren't they "War is Peace," "Freedom is Slavery," and "Ignorance is Strength"? And didn't the ministry rewrite history at will to ensure it always served the party's interests?
At first I thought that they were talking about the RepubliCANTS in our American Congress!
Thanks to their "holy book" Arabs can lie to us infidels without blinking an eye. Most of them tell people the total opposite of the truth.
There is a new "free Gaza" flotilla being planned. They are deliberately putting other people's lives in danger. One of the boats is from the U.S. Do they think that Israel is going to permit the "peaceful" boats to enter Gaza?
Dang it, I forgot, THEY CAN'T THINK, THEY JUST DESTROY.

They won't have their cards cancelled. They'll be upgraded with frequent-jihader points.

The crickets are louder than the so-called "moderate" imams among around the world who have rejected the tenet of "dar al Harb".

Mein Kampf was the playbook of genocide 80 years ago. The Koran is creating a far more deadly and motivated foe. Not even the Nazis cheered child-sacrifice.

Until the dream of caliphate becomes as unspeakable among Muslims as the Third Reich is among contemporary Germans, we haven't begun this battle of civilizations which must leave only one standing.

Okay, Michael, you snuck in ahead of me. That's okay, we Dry Bones fans have to stick together!

Isn't it strange how most acts of terrorism are perpetrated by Islamists, aka Muslim extremists ?

No matter how many excuses are made by law-abiding Muslims and their non-Muslim supporters, it has clearly turned into a huge dilemma for Islam - ie. a world religion that cannot control its extremists and seems to go along with a radicalisation of its holy texts.

Isn't it high time that Jews and Christians asked Muslims to act responsibly in order that we respect their religion? For a start, Muslims theologians could interpret the Qu'ran and Hadith in a modern way and tell Islamist fanatics that they are criminals. Secondly, it would help to spell out to Muslims that their religion is one of many, and by no means the most perfect.

How do Jews and Christians ask Muslims to act humanely when even Muslims are afraid to ask the question?
Governments including the USA dare not admonish a Muslim murderer as such.
Still Islam attracts converts who openly swear to kill infidels.
The UN praises and allows hate conferences within its walls as well as out of that body of cowardly madmen.
The only answer in the end is a catastrophic war between the West and Islam unless there is a dramatic awakening.G-d help us.

The smooth double entendre really is overboard here.
The fact is Islam engages Taqquiya- dissimmulation for all others. And lying is absolutely necessary to spread the stealth Jihad. Ergo.... smooth double entendre was more appropriate maybe, ten years ago, but today....?? after 17,400 Jihadist attacks, with over 270,000 slaughtered just since 9/11, it is certainly ineffective.As
an example- the full bore charge of racism and bigotry is applied by all Islam against any criticism of their homicides and special needs in non muslim countries. And here.... homicidism is merely excused as inherent desires for 'racism' when responded too by muslims when they are asked why converts to Islam choose to become 'Jihadists'

in Isaiah 19:23-25, there are no more Islamists, moderate or otherwise, nor are there any Palestinians, just Israelis, Egyptians and Assyrians. I guess they didn't make the cut, Sorry.

The problem with Islam is in fact that some western countries (namely the UK and France) did possess colonies in Muslim areas. That past, which is unquestionably bad, is being used by present day propagandist to silence any critics against the wrongdoings by clerics and authorities in those areas: "hey, how do you dare to criticize us? Think of your past, you colonialist".

The fact is that responsibilities are always strictly personal, and one should never justify or condone any negative behaviours by other negative behaviours adopted by a third parties. If something is bad and wrong it is such in itself, and cannot be excused just because someone else did something as bad or even worse.

So human rights apply to everyone, and it is not because colonialists indeed denied those rights in the past that that same denial of rights by others can be justified today.

Please have a look at the last article of the UN Declaration of Human Rights. It states the obvious: no claim to one's rights can be considered valid when it is used to deny someone else's rights. That is intimidating (or worse) religious dissenters is not covered by freedom of speech.
