Thanks to liberal and non-discriminatory immigration policy of the
infidels, millions of Muslims, living in many Islamic countries under
abject poverty, misery and helplessness were able to migrate to these
Kufur states (like the USA, Canada, Australia, New Zealand....etc) to
improve their lot; and many of them were able to do so.

Naturally, their host county would expect them to be thankful
eternally for offering them this rare opportunity. Most immigrants
have no problem in expressing such gratitude and loyalty to their
adopted country. Nonetheless, such is not the case with the diehard
Islamists. Let us ask the question of loyalty to an Islamist who has
migrated to a western country like the USA or Canada or Australia.
What answer shall we expect?

I did ask a few Islamists in Australia such a question. Their answer
stunned me completely. I was appalled by their audacity and their show
of ungratefulness. The blithe answer they gave was: It is not the
Australian Government or its immigration policy that has brought them
here (Australia). It was Allah who brought them in Australia.

Many of them contend that this exodus of Muslims to infidel lands is
comparable to the seventh century migration of Prophet Muhammad's
(pbuh) from Mecca to Medina with a handful of Muslims, less than
seventy in all.

These Islamists then went a few steps further and declared that
Australia belongs to Allah, and as such all Muslims have the right to
be here, in this Allah's land. And why Allah has brought them here?
That answer is also given clearly. Allah has a grand plan with this
new bunch of Muhajirun (migrants).

The plan of Allah is to propagate Islam through His humble followers.
That meant: these Muslim migrants, mostly from the Third World
countries, are in Australia to lead these sinful infidels into the
fold of Islam, so that righteousness is established with the sinners
(that is, the western infidels) and they (the infidels) are given a
'beautiful' taste of Islam. What an audacious statement--you might say.

But wait, isn't this what the Qur'an says? They will quote several
verses from the Qur'an to backup their claims. In short, these poor
people were sent to Australia by Allah to show the 'straight' path
(Siratul Mustakim) to the uncivilized, corrupt, lustful infidels.
Isn't this very similar to the original Meccan destitute who migrated
with the Prophet (pbuh) of mercy?

Look, if those humble, half-clad, half-fed, indigents (Muhajirun)
could convert the entire Arabia from Jahilia to an Islamic paradise,
then why not the poor Muslim migrants of today achieve the same lofty
goal in Australia? As theirs argument goes. How uncanny these
similarities are!

Truly, one cannot but wonder at the Kudrat of Allah. Hasn't Allah,
once again, brought the seventh century, pure, serene Islam to redeem
mankind? Allah is capable of anything; the twenty-first century is the
century of Islam, these Islamists told me in their pithy but no
nonsense reply. It is difficult to counter argue with these religious
zealots, utterly high on Islam.

Such is the audacity and determination of these neo-Islamists

Let us first look at Qur'an and see what those Islamists told me is
correct or not:

God gradually reduces the land under the control of the unbelievers
from its outlying borders...13:41

God is the master planner...13:42

God will make the believers to live in the land of the wrong doers
(those who are perished by God) and succeed them...14:14

God gradually reduces the land controlled by unbelievers...21:44

God will grant inheritance in land and will establish the authority of
believers of religion (Islam)...24:55

There they are, the words of Allah. You have just read them--yes, the
Islamists are absolutely correct as far as the Qur'an is concerned.

No wonder, we see many of these neo-Islamists are hell bent to
establish mosques in every suburb of infidel countries where they have
planted their nascent root, including Australia. No wonder we see
them, every now and then, exhorting Islam in various radio-stations.

We see them knocking frequently at the doors of many Muslims to invite
them to mosques for religious discussions. And what discussions are
being held there? Surely, it is not the discussion about the reform of
Medicare in Australia, neither it is a discussion about the impending
hike in University fees or anything like that sort-- matters that
concern most infidel Australians.

They will invariably deal with Chechnya, Kashmir, Palestine, Iraq,
Afghanistan....etc. With passionate and tearful speeches they will call
the near 'brothers' to donate generously in funds (such as MuslimAid,
Australia) to help those distant 'brothers.' They have so much of
sympathy, love, and tears for those far-away 'brothers,' but have no
heart for the real sinner infidel Australians who have given them a
chance to contribute generously to their Islamic brothers in those
places.

Neither do they have any tear left to mourn the merciless slaughter of
88 Australian (infidels, of course) in the wake of Bali bombing.
Sometimes, they will openly declare that emulating the mainstream
Australian life is an act of Kufur or unbelief. They will invariably
assert that as far as possible, Muslims should deal with Muslims only
and have the minimum interaction with the infidels. In support of this
'religious apartheid' they will quote from the Qur'an verses freely
and blithely such as:

Do not take unbelievers as friends; caution is necessary to befriend
the unbelievers...3:28

It is not honourable to take unbelievers as friends...4:139

Do not take unbelievers as friends...4:144

Believers are not to take the Jews and Christians as friends and
protectors; if any believer (i.e. Muslim) turn to them then he also
becomes a Jew or a Christian...5:51

Real friends are God, His apostle (Muhammad) and the fellowship of
pious and charitable believers...5:55

God's wrath and torments is for befriending the unbelievers...5:80

Whoever seeks the friendship of evil people will be lead to the
penalty of fire...22:3

Cannot be on terms of secret intimacy or be friendly with the enemies
of faith ...60:1

Some Islamists even criticize their folks for buying a tiny Christmas
tree just for the little children or even for attending Christmas
parties. They will even go a step further in declaring that the
Australians must learn from them (the Muslim migrants) and not the
other way around.

In my experience, I found the supreme rage of the Islamists is
reserved for the way the Australian women dress, work and live. Many
Muslim women are subtly forced to wear hijab just to demonstrate to
the infidel women the superior chastity of Muslim women. Ten years
ago, it was rare to find a hijabi woman in any street of Sydney.

The situation is quite different now. Go to any rail-station, shopping
centre, eating stall, college, university, etc., you will invariably
notice a hijabi woman standing nearby. Many Islamists openly declare
that all Muslim women must cover themselves in (ugly) hijab and cloak
no matter what others may think of them.

This is because these Muslim women will become the shining examples or
beacon of femininity, chastity, and Islamic beauty to the infidel
women and they (the infidel women) will eventually follow the Muslim
women and happily wear the Muslim garb. This means that these infidel
women, will, one day, surely be covered by Islamic hijab--these
Islamists are absolutely certain. Why? Because, Allah has ordained it--
one day the entire world will become an Ummah (Islamic community) of
some sort. They have no doubt on this.

Most westerners will be deeply shocked and saddened to learn what lies
deeply buried in the hearts of these Islamists living in the West.
These infidels have openly and warmly welcomed the Islamists in their
midst without imposing any of their religious and cultural practices.
The Muslims are free to practice their faith openly anywhere in any
infidel country.

The Islamists have a completely different understanding of this kind
gesture of the infidels. They believe that this generosity,
magnanimity, kindness and policy of inclusion are nothing but gifts
from Allah. Only Allah is to be praised for this.

This leads one to conclude that they (the Islamists) are thankful to
Allah and Allah only and not to the Australians. They will even insist
that the Australians must emulate the Muslims instead of the other way
round. Let me give an example: the cry for prayer in mosques or the
ringing of bells in churches or temples is considered as sources of
noise pollution in Australia.

As such, these religious activities are banned in churches and mosques
and at any other religious institution. The Islamists dream of
converting all churches in Australia into mosques and wish the air of
Australia to be filled with 'gorgeous' sirens of Azan. This it what
the Islamists mean when they say, 'no compulsion in religion' (2:256).

The Islamists started their 'Dakwah' (religious invitation) with
fervent zeal. Regular monthly meetings were held in mosques and in
private houses to spread the beautiful teachings of Islam.

In reality, those meetings were designed by the clever Islamists to
program the simple-minded Muslims not to eat at McDonalds, Kentucky
Fried Chicken, Pizza Hut.....but to promote the Muslim eateries, even
though these so called halal eating-stations were unhygienic,
distasteful, rodent and cockroach infested.. But never mind such
unpleasantness and poor foodstuff, Allah's food is more valuable than
the clean, hygienic and nutritious infidel, non-halal , impure, unholy
junks.

Many Muslims were told to keep away their children from the influence
of infidel kids. Further exhortations were made to enroll the children
in Islamic kindergartens and Islamic Primary Schools.

Then from nowhere came the 9/11, and about a year late, the Bali
bombing. Most infidels wanted an answer for such barbaric and inhuman
'Islamic justice.' The mainstream media was hopeless. People were not
at all satisfied with what the PC correct mainline electronic and
print media wrote about 'Peaceful Islam.' They turned to the Internet
and found out about the 'real Islam.'

The bombshell articles they read shattered the myth of peaceful Islam.
The infidels, as well as many innocent, non-practicing Muslims were
simply stunned and shocked. They could not believe what they were
reading about what they always thought to be the most peaceful, non-
violent, merciful religion of Allah.

Alarmed by this exposure of the truth about 'real Islam,' the
Islamists hastily laid out their strategy to combat this 'Internet
apostasy' and 'Electronic blasphemy'. Here, I am listing five distinct
tactics that the Islamists have, thus far, pursued systematically:

In the beginning, the Islamists arguments ran like: 'out of context',
'selective quotes', 'verses not quoted in its entirety', 'using
incorrect verse', 'translation problem', 'Qur'an cannot be
translated', 'spelling error', 'grammatical and punctuation mistakes',
'no fluency in Arabic', 'ulterior motive to defame Allah's
Din' (religion of Allah) and so on.

Afterwards, they started to review the CV of the writers and raised
excuses such as: 'pseudonym writer', 'background of the writer',
'whereabouts of the author', 'the age of the writer', 'what
qualifications the author has', 'which University the author graduated
from', 'in which place the writer does his research',' who is his
supervisor'..........and so on.

When the above-mentioned arguments did not do the trick, then came the
following: every religion (actually, meaning Islam) has good points
and bad points, why dwell with the bad ones only while ignoring the
good ones? Why blame Islam only? Don't you have time for other
activities than 'bashing Islam? Why waste time discussing Islam when
we should talk about industrial development of poor countries? Why not
take a long break and refrain from 'bashing Islam'?

The Islam 'bashers' laughed heartily. Why? Those arguments were a
clear admission that there are really 'bad' elements in Islam, which
was, hitherto, sold as the perfect religion of Allah Even Allah admits
that He perfected this religion in verse 5:3

This day God perfected the religion of Islam and accepted Islam as the
only religion for mankind (last verse revealed)...5:3

How is it possible for this 'perfection' of Allah to have some
malcontents? Many of us wondered. Do the Islamists realize what they
have done to this 'perfect' religion by admitting that not everything
is fine and dandy with Islam?

Do they recognize that by lumping Islam in the same bucket with other
religions, they made their claim of Islamic superiority a laughing
joke? Do they grasp that by resorting to such a glib ploy they have
rejected the very verse of the Qur'an that says unmistakably that
Islam is the only acceptable religion to Allah?

Here are some samples from the Quran:

Can't worship anything other than God; Islam is the only right
religion (the purpose of an Islamic state)...12:40

Islam is the religion of God...3:19

Any religion other than Islam is not acceptable...3:85

Islam is the perfect religion...9:33

God has chosen Islam, it is the religion of Abraham; God has named the
followers of Abraham as Muslims...22:78

God proclaims Islam (the religion of truth) over all other religion...
48:28

It was not too long before the Islamists realized their fatal mistake.
Consequently, they changed their tune abruptly. This time, their
argument continued something like this: If you criticize Islam, then,
how about Christianity? How about Judaism? How about Hinduism? One
should not criticize only one religion (that is, Islam).

You must criticize other religions too.... blah, blah, blah. Quoting
many belligerent verses from the old Testament, they started to
demonstrate how bad it (i.e. Christianity and Judaism) was, forgetting
the fact that by bringing out those barbaric verses from the old
Testament, the Islamists were simply reinforcing and authenticating
the 'appalling elements' of the Qur'an as well. Why?

Because, the Qur'an confirms the contents of those holy Books (i.e.
the Old Testament and the Gospel). Here are a few verses where Allah
authenticates the what He had written in those scriptures are also
parts of the Qur'an:

The Qur'an confirms the old books; Moses was given the law, Jesus was
given the Gospel...3:3

Quran confirms the previous scriptures and supersedes them; if God
willed He could have made a single people; believers are to compete in
righteousness...5:48

Quran confirms the previous scriptures...6:92

The Quran is from God, it confirms the revelations of the past; Quran
is a fuller explanation of God's book; it contains no doubt...10:37

The Quran confirms in Arabic the book of Moses...46:12

Therefore, shall we not assume that by 'bashing' the Bible, the
Islamists had, inadvertently bashed the Qur'an itself? How funny it
can be, come to think of it!

The Islamists, once again, very quickly, realized their folly in
resorting to this type of amusing game. So, what is the next ploy?

After arduous and diligent research, the Islamists now came to the
conclusion that their methods are silly and has become rather counter-
productive. The world, at large, is no longer buying their arguments
readily. A new tactic was thus necessary. How about admitting that no
one has yet become a 'true' Muslim? Once the world realizes that there
is truly no 'real Islam', no 'true Muslim', then no one can attack
Islam any more.

How clever this idea is, the Islamists smiled to each other. Thus the
theory of 'Islamic denial' took shape. Let me explain this theory of
denial in plain language. Say, someone says that your brother is a
corrupt government officer and you are aware that the accuser is
correct. What do you do now? Do you accept your accuser's complain or
reject it? No, do not be so foolish enough to do that.

You simply say that you do not have a brother or that your brother has
passed away. If the complainant still insists that your brother do
exist, you simply say that your brother is not your 'real' brother.
See, how simple it is!

This is the essence of 'Islamic denial' theory. Whenever 'awful
things' in Islam are pointed out, all that the Islamists have to do is
simply state: this is not 'real' Islam and that solves all problems.
See, how clever it is!

Let us read some examples:

There is not a single 'true Muslim' even though there are 1.2 billion
of us.

There is not a single 'pure' Islamic country.

A perfect Islamic state is yet to be founded.

Ayatollah Khomeini was an enemy of Islam.

Pakistan, Iran, Sudan, Afghanistan, Nigeria...these Islamic Paradise do
not follow 'real' Islam.

Saudi Arabian Islam is corrupted.

Not all Sahi hadis are Sahi.

The Quran is an ancient scripture; many of its provisions are not
relevant now (the Quran says it is an eternal book, and its provisions
are alive forever).

Tyrants and dictators rule Islamic countries; they have no idea about
Islam.

Since most of the barbarism of Islam is in the Sha'ria, therefore,
Sha'ria cannot be a part of 'real' Islam.

The clergy/Mullahs do not know 'real Islam.'

In Islam, there is no 'clergy', so you may practice Islam in your own
way.

But for Islam/Muslim/Arab scientists, the west would have never
achieved modernity and progress. 'Real Islam' civilized the west.

The best country to practice 'real Islam' is the USA, Canada, UK and
Australia!

You cannot practice 'real Islam' in Islamic Paradises like Pakistan,
Bangladesh, Saudi Arabia, Sudan, Malaysia, Nigeria, Iran...etc. You must
not use these countries as examples of Islamic practices.

Wahabism is not 'real Islam'.

Alqaeda/Osama is not 'true' Islam.

Talibans are not 'true' Muslims.

Shias are not 'true' Muslims.

Sunnis are not 'true' Muslims.

Amhedia/Kadiani are heretics, not Muslims but Dr. Abdus Salam (an
Ahmedi) was a devout Muslim because he received Nobel Prize in
Physics.

Islam means 'peace' although the true meaning is 'submission' or
surrender.

The West hijacked Islam and made their societies more Islamic than the
'true' Islamic societies.

Even though Saddam was a secularist and an atheist, we still consider
him as a 'good' Muslim.

Those are just a few samples of words and sentences that are in vogue
with the Islamists of today. After 9/11, Bali bombing, and many other
Islamic terror/atrocities (read Holy terror), many diehard Islamists
find no place to hide even though they are looking for a cover or safe
haven of some sort.

They too, are deeply appalled and extremely ashamed to notice the
practices of unbelievable inhumanity, tyranny, falsity, terror and
barbarisms that are an integral part of Islam as exposed by many
writers who dare to challenge Islam. Nevertheless, they could never
admit that it is Islam that is the breeding ground of such terror
acts. They are adamant that it is not 'real Islam.'

So, why is there such a sudden change of tune? You see, after 9/11 and
especially after the Bali bombing, the Australians have woken up from
their deep slumber. The statements from the Bali bomb suspects (under
trial now in Jakarta) Amrozi and Imam Samudra have deeply shocked
everyone in Australia. These two Islamists have said in no uncertain
terms that the infidels deserve to be killed.

Most Muslims will dismiss claims by these Islamic fanatics as
baseless, but not the victims of Bali bombing and a major section of
Australians. Muslims are now looked upon in a very different way.
Although not too hateful, most Australians cannot take for granted
that one day the Islamic terrorists will not try to seize power by
force to enforce 'real Islam' in every sphere of Australian society.

Call it Islamphobia or what you may, the West in general and the
Australians in particular have already experienced the taste of 'real
Islam' and they do not want even an iota of it in their lives.

The government is now very concerned about the threat of 'real Islam,'
not from outside of Australia but from inside Australia, from the very
Islamists whom the Australians have fed and clothed, and gave the
chance of a better life to them and to their children. The security
has also been beefed up and all sectors of security service are now
extra vigilant.

It is now abundantly clear that all those arguments are completely dud
and hollow. The world is slowly learning the truth about the
"peaceful" nature of Islam, previously thought to be similar to any
other religion, full of compassion and mercy.

However, the picture that emerges when the veneer of a handful of
'mercy' and 'peaceful' (actually, there are only three) verses are
removed from the Qur'an is terribly disturbing to any one who has the
slightest of conscience in him/her. It is impossible to be comfortable
with Islam any more. Bit by bit, the world is apprehending that,
unless quickly diffused, a potential catastrophic confrontation is
looming in the horizon.

It will be a confrontation between the civilized world and the
barbarism, a war between humanity and extreme fascism, a fight between
freedom and slavery, an altercation between People's democracy and
Allah's dictatorship. It will be extremely foolhardy to deny this
truth.

The world, truly, is about to be divided between the believers and the
non-believers, between Muslims and non-Muslims. Those PC politicians
must come to terms with this reality. We must face the truth that the
present world is really facing a prospective religious war in a wide
scale It is Islam versus the world. I do not know who will be the
winner in this potential war. But I can tell who will be the loser.

Yes, it will be the 1.2 billion hapless Muslims. It is not that they
wanted this war to happen in the first place. A small number of
erudite Islamists, imbued with the distorted vision of Pan Islamism
and an unrelenting penchant to bring back the seventh century
barbarism in the space age of this twenty-first century have pushed
these ignorant and innocent Muslims, who have very little idea about
Islam, in the precipice of a cataclysm. A few more Islamic bombs and
some more Islamic terrorism in infidel lands will make the world lose
patience with Islam.

The humanity, no longer will listen to their PC politicians and their
kowtowing the Arabs and the Muslim dictators for cheap oil. A time is
fast approaching when the people of these infidel countries will
demand, with force, a significant change in their constitutions and
laws to bar the potential trouble makers (read the Muslims) from
reaching their shores.

They may even demand punitive measures for those who abuse their
liberal, secular attitude and aim to establish Islamic Paradises in
infidel lands and at the same time change the culture of the West. You
may dismiss my thought as a pure conjecture and a complete utopia or
even as a phobia, but do not forget: There is a limit to every
tolerance. There is a bound to every generosity. There is an edge to
everything. Once that limit is broken, people can, and will do very
unpleasant acts.

Let the Islamists get the real message and at the same time get a
life!
