Netanyahu again speaks truth where others fear to tread …

Proverbs 15:7a, “The lips of the wise disperse knowledge …”

By Tova Dvorin, INN – “Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu, at an Israeli-French technology conference Tuesday, contrasted Israel’s goals with those of Islamic radicals as a matter of modernity and anachronism.

Referencing the scientific studies before him, Netanyahu stated, ‘What we are seeing is the future. I think where radical Islam is trying to take us is the past.’ He elaborated, ‘We are for modernity. They are for a dark medievalism.’

‘We’re for opening up our societies for everyone – men, women, minorities, the right to be different,’ the Prime Minister continued, ‘They’re for uniform suppression of a rigid doctrine and they want to back it up with weapons of death.’

Netanyahu related those concerns to the threat of a nuclear Iran.

‘I think it would be a grave mistake to repeat the mistake that was done vis-à-vis North Korea, another closed society, doctrinaire, rigid and aggressive,’ he explained. ‘I think in the case of Iran, there is an opportunity. It would be a great mistake to capitulate before Iran when they have all reasons right now to respond to the pressures that have been put on them. Rather than surrendering to their charm offensive, it’s important that they surrender to the pressure that can be brought to them to have them abandon their nuclear program.’

The Prime Minister’s remarks follow heightened international tensions regarding a possible nuclear Iran deal, which is slated to be discussed in Geneva this Thursday, November 20.” Read more.

Flashback: Radical Islam Is, In Truth, The Normative Islam – “When will we believe the threat in the words of Mohammed? When will we believe the Muslims’ word when they proclaim their intention to kill us? When will we believe that they proclaim their intention to wipe Israel off the face of the map? When will we believe that they want to see the entire world including Europe and America, under submission to Islam and Muslim law?… Why do so many Western political leaders keep trying to tell us that Islam is a ‘religion of peace’?  Bombings, explosions and mass killings are certainly not demonstrations of peace.  Do our leaders support them or are they so afraid of them that they continually insist on ‘political correctness’ most often at the expense of Christians.  Will they insist on PC all the way to the grave?” Read more.

Qur’an Sura 8:55, “Surely the vilest of animals in Allah’s sight are those who disbelieve [non-Muslims] …”

Qur’an Sura 3:110, “Ye are the best of peoples, evolved for mankind …”

By Raymond Ibrahim, Frontpage Mag – “Arguing that Muslim blood is more precious than infidel blood, Muslim clerics in and out of Sudan are outraged because a Sudanese court has condemned a Muslim man to death—simply because he murdered American Diplomat John Granville on January 1, 2008.

A 2009 report offers context:

The court had sentenced the men [originally four] to death in June for killing Granville and his driver in January 2008, but the sentence was cancelled in August after [his Muslim driver] Abbas’s father forgave the men.

Under Islamic law, the victim’s family has the right to forgive the murderer, ask for compensation (fedia) or demand execution.

Granville’s mother, Jane Granville, at the time had asked for the men’s execution, but her letter was rejected because it was not notarized.

The judge said the sentence was confirmed because Granville’s family, from Buffalo, in northern New York State, had requested it.

Then, in 2010, the four men convicted of murder, in the words of the U.S. State Department, ‘escaped from a maximum security prison’ in Khartoum. One of the men, Abdul Ra’uf Abu Zaid Muhammad Hamza, was recaptured and is currently in prison awaiting execution.

Finding the punishment unjust, several international Islamic organizations, most recently, the London-based Islamic Media Observatory, have been trying to commute the death sentence, mostly by arguing for Abdul Ra’uf’s ‘human rights.’

However, the Legitimate League of Scholars and Preachers in Sudan (an influential body of Muslim clerics) issued a statement last month titled ‘Let no Muslim be killed because of an infidel’—a verbatim quote, in fact, from Islam’s prophet Muhammad—revealing the true reason why so many Muslims are trying to overturn the death sentence.

The Arabic language statement begins by asserting that ‘Allah has honored human beings over creation and multiplied the Muslim’s honor over the infidel’s, because Islam elevates and nothing is elevated above it. The value of the blood of Muslims is equal, or should be, but not so the value of the blood of others.’  (The Koran itself, e.g., 2:221, confirms this idea that even the lowliest Muslim is superior to any non-Muslim.)

Qur’an Sura 2:216,  “Fighting is prescribed for you, and ye dislike it. But it is possible that ye dislike a thing which is good for you, and that ye love a thing which is bad for you. But Allah knoweth, and ye know not.”

By Dawood Azami, BBC – “The last decade has seen a little-reported but systematic campaign by insurgents to silence Afghan clerics who disagree with their tactics and ideology.

More than 800 religious scholars who confronted the Taliban by calling their insurgency un-Islamic and unlawful have been killed.

The most recent killing took place a week ago when prominent religious scholar Maulawi Ata Muhammad was shot dead in Kandahar. He was head of programming for local radio station, Voice of Islam.

Some targets are very high profile. Among the first to be killed in this way was, Maulawi Abdullah Fayaz, head of the Kandahar religious scholars council, in May 2005.

The Taliban – a word which actually means religious student – have accepted responsibility for a number of these killings. Indeed, many of those killed either taught or influenced the men who went on to join the Taliban – in effect these students are now murdering their teachers.

The militants describe themselves as being at the vanguard defending Afghanistan’s ‘original Islamic values’. They accuse anti-Taliban clerics of justifying ‘foreign occupation and creating discord within the Muslim community'”. Read more.

Flashback: Taliban: Mass Slaughter Of Christians At Peshawar Church OK According To Sharia Law – “Proscribed Tehreek-i-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) has once again denied having involvement in the attack on a Peshawar church last month but said it was according to Sharia. ‘We didn’t carry out the church attack. However, we believe it’s according to the Sharia,’ TTP spokesperson Shahidullah Shahid told BBC in a telephonic interview from an anonymous location on Friday. He said that there are numerous component groups of TTP but the motives of all of them are same.” Read more.

Flashback: Mosque To Church Ratio In Afghanistan: 48,000 To 0 – “Afghanistan ranks third among nations most severely opposed to the Cross. There are 48,000 mosques in the country—but not a single church building. Afghanistan’s population is 31 million, but estimates show there are less than 5,000 indigenous believers in this nation that has radical Islamic sharia law written into its constitution. Because of strong family traditions, any Muslim who comes to Christ is often in danger of an ‘honor killing’ by the family even before the government decides to pursue them, and Muslims who convert to Christ are subject to harsh imprisonment and possible execution by the authorities.” Read more.
