A frightening message from inside Islam
By Barbara J. Stock
A few weeks ago I received an e-mail message from a man who called himself "Tim." He explained that this was not his real name. "Tim" was using this name so that he could remain anonymous. He needs to stay in the realm of the unknown. Tim is a marked man because he has done the unthinkable — the unforgivable. Tim has left Islam and in doing so, he has become a "kaafir" — an infidel — and an apostate. The Quran says: "Those who believe, then disbelieve, then believe and disbelieve again will never be forgiven by Allah."
According to the laws of Islam if a Muslim dares leave the faith, he becomes the worst of the worst, an infidel, and a traitor. These poor souls might be killed if discovered and so, they often must move to faraway cities, change their names and pray that they never run into anyone who knew them in their previous life. Allah has stated in the Quran that, "Whoever changes his religion [leaves Islam], execute him." Being forbidden to leave Islam is one of Islam's dirty little secrets.
With Tim's permission, I posted on my website his sobering message. When I received it, I thought it was quite pessimistic. Since that time, I have had lengthy conversations with several Muslims that have given credence to Tim's words. So much credence, that I feel compelled to give his statement a wider audience.
Here is a sample of Tim's warning to all "infidels."
"I was born and raised as Muslim. My whole family is still Muslim. I know every genetic code of Muslim. I know Islamic brain. I live and breathe with them. I am an insider. I left Islam when I understood that Islam is a sick and evil religion. Following is the Islamic message to the West. To the infidels of the West: Constitution for the new Islamic Republic of EU and USA is under construction. We will fight the infidel to death.
Meanwhile:
American laws will protect us.
Democrats and Leftist will support us.
UNO will legitimize us. (United Nations Organization)
CAIR will incubate us. (Council on American-Islamic Relations)
ACLU will empower us. (American Civil Liberties Union)
Western Universities will educate us.
Mosques will shelter us.
OPEC will finance us.
Hollywood will love us.
Koffi Annan will pass politically correct sympathetic statement for Jihadists."
As ominous as Tim's warning to non-Muslims is, is it possible that all the dangers he cites would be crushed if moderate Muslims would admit that there is a threat? If these people are truly "moderate" they will be considered weak and will be killed as well. Moderate Muslims seem oblivious to the danger and seem to feel that the mere fact that they are Muslim will protect them. That certainly isn't helping the Iraqi Muslims.
Perhaps I am being somewhat paranoid, but I have begun to wonder if these "non-violent, moderate" Muslims simply don't see the danger or are they just remaining silent, biding their time — waiting and multiplying, just as Tim has said. The question is how many are just "waiting?" Tim seems to feel that number is very large. He is in a position to know far better than I.
Tim continues: "You infidels at this site cannot defeat us. We are 1.2 billion. We will double again. Do you have enough bullets to kill us? On the camera: We will always say, 'Islam is the religion of Peace.' We will say, 'Jihad is actually inner Jihad.' Moderate Muslim will say there is no link between Islam and Terrorism and the West will believe it because the West is so gullible. Moderate Muslim all over the world will incubate Jihadists by their talk by defending Islam. Using Western Legal system we will assert our Sharia Laws, slowly but surely. We will increase in number. We will double again."
The conversations I have had over the past few weeks bear out Tim's warning that moderate Muslims swear there is no link between Islam and terrorists. In fact, the first words of those who write to me say are usually, "Terrorists are not true Muslims" or "Terrorists are not practicing true Islam." When I point out the words in the Quran damning all "unbelievers" to hell and the very plain and clearly stated orders to "kill all unbelievers," I am told that I am taking the words "out of context."
Readers of the Quran may wonder how one can take out of context statements such as: "Allah will bestow a vast reward on those who fight in religious wars" or "Have no unbelieving friends. Kill the unbelievers wherever you find them." "Christians will be burned in the Fire" seems rather straightforward to me. Yet, the denials come every day. Then, when I question those that contact me, the outrage follows. It has all become quite predictable.
Non-Muslims must understand the definition of "unbeliever." In Islamic terms, it does not mean someone who does not believe in God. Unbeliever means anyone who does not believe and strictly follow the laws of Islam and Allah.
I am told that it is I that is full of hate and that I hate Muslims. Americans hate Muslims and that is why we hunt them down and kill them all over the world. "War is ordained by Allah" and "When you fight with disbelievers, do not retreat. Those who do will go to hell," it is argued, are not words of hate driving Muslims to kill. No, those words are "misunderstood" and twisted by those of us just don't understand the peace and love that is true Islam.
"Christians hate Muslims!" I am constantly told. Don't I realize that Jews are the root of all things evil in the world? Israel has waged war on poor Muslims and Arab states for over 50 years. America is just the "slave" of Israel and we do their bidding. The world's only super-power is a puppet of the tiny Jewish state. Many Muslims tell me this and they absolutely believe it.
There is a constant flow of hate from the Muslim web sites and blogs where the Islamic terrorists in Iraq are still referred to as "freedom fighters" and "martyrs" and Saudi officials are claiming that Osama bin Laden was sent by the evil Jews, thus absolving Saudi Arabia and Islam of any guilt for bin Laden's actions.
I have read the words of many ex-Muslims and though not all are as frightening as Tim's words, they all say the same thing: Islam is not a religion of peace but a source of hate and total domination. Most ex-Muslims that I have read just fear for their lives if discovered. Shouldn't we unbelievers heed their warnings? They have been in the mosques. They have heard the words of hate and war. Are they not in the position to know the heart of Islam better than we?
There is only one flaw in Islam's plan — the Quran. The plan for world domination is clearly laid out for the followers of Mohammed, including the punishment that awaits those who fail in their mission. "Those who disobey Allah and his messenger will be burnt with fire and suffer a painful doom." For many who now wage war against us, it is not because they hate us, but because they fear the punishment promised for eternity if they disobey the words of Allah. "Those who deny Allah's revelations must endure the flaming fire." If you had heard these words every day of your life, what would you believe?
