Unprincipled Partisan Politics‏

From RRW
Rav Dov Fischer on the unprincipled nature of partisan politics -

"The reasons for misunderstanding are rooted in cynical politics, like the Presidential political campaigns.  What I hate about politics is the dishonesty it breeds:  If you are for candidate X, you make one set of arguments.  If you are for the other candidate, you argue the other way.  Later, if the facts switch, then you switch.  (It is like the debate now over whether to vote on Obama’s Supreme Court pick.  Today, the Dems say that the pick should be passed, and GOPers say they won’t talk to him.  All the arguments are made.  And when the shoe was on the other foot, then it was Biden and Schumer who would not support the pick, and it was the GOP who argued that the pick must be passed.)‎"

Even though slavery was abolished in 1962 in Saudi Arabia, it is still practiced there today. Not only is the government aware that it still exists, but religious and influential clerics sanction it. Sheikh Saleh Al-Fawzan, an opponent of anti-slavery laws and member of the Senior Council of Clerics, Saudi Arabia’s highest religious body, said: “Slavery is a part of Islam, and whoever wants it abolished is an infidel.”

“Too many people dismiss the prospect of a worldwide jihad occurring again. In doing so, they misunderstand the ideology of original Islam or naively assume its resolve. Political correctness has literally paralyzed many in government and created an atmosphere in which fear of being called intolerant or an “Islamophobe” trumps concerns over safeguarding our lives and liberties.

Were we living in a time when weapons of mass destruction did not exist and global transportation was virtually impossible, a misread of this enemy might be excusable.

But we do not live in such a time. If an Islamic radical is willing to put his children in a car, buckle them in, fill the car with explosives, use the children as props to deceive the soldiers at a security checkpoint, and then detonate the bomb—with the children still in the car—what makes anyone believe such a radical would hesitate to detonate a nuclear bomb if he had a chance?”

Fundamentalist Islam is targeting African Americans in an attempt to bypass security profiling that would normally draw attention to terrorist operations. This approach takes advantage of any resentment toward the white establishment and provides Fundamentalist Islam with terrorists who do not fit the usual profiles.

Dr. Ayman Al-Zawahiri, number-two man in Al Qaeda, has stated publicly: “I want blacks in America to know that we are waging jihad to lift oppression from all mankind.”

What Zawahiri does not say is that Mohammed disliked the black race immensely and referred to them as “raisin heads” several times in the Hadith (1:662; 9:256). Throughout the Hadith, blacks are also referred to abeds, which means “black” in Arabic, and is also synonymous with “slave” or “filth”. In fact, Arab Muslims have enslaved blacks for 1,400 years, and the black slave trade is still thriving in the Sudan and Mauritania.

In examining the relationship between blacks and Islam, readers will be surprised to find that throughout history, Islam has placed blacks on the same level as barn animals. Moreover, the barn is where most enslaved blacks are relegated after they are kidnapped and forced to convert to Islam or die.

“The very existence of people living free and happy, free from Islamic dominion, is blasphemy [against Islam]; Blasphemy that must be remedied by bringing them into Islam, or under the rule of Islamic law.”
