Imam Educates the President on Islam: The Koran and Shariah Law Promote Terrorism and the Killing of “Innocents”

From the Desk of Richard Thompson Imam Educates the President on Islam:  The Koran Promotes Terrorism and the Killing of “Innocents” In the beginning of his speech last week on the threat of ISIS (or ISIL), President Obama told Americans: “Now let’s make two things clear: ISIL is not “Islamic.” No religion condones the killing of innocents…” He is wrong on both counts.  And he knows it.  He is doing a disservice to the American public and our “war” effort.  If our Commander-in-Chief refuses to honestly identify the enemy, we are not going to win this war in the long run.  That’s because even if we destroy ISIS there will be other Islamic organizations to take its place. The reason: Islam is a religion of violence. I can only conjecture that the President’s comments were meant to pander to American Muslims and anesthetize the American people to the true internal threat posed by Muslims within our gates. But British Imam Anjem Choudary set the President and the American public straight in this short video clip. (Click Here) In the clip from a recent interview on RT’s (formerly Russia Today) Worlds Apart, Choudary, told the world the truth about Islam that so called “moderate” Muslims in America have been trying to hide. When asked if the beheading of American journalist James Foley was justified under Sharia law, Choudary said: “Every action for a Muslim must be based on the Koran, the word of Allah and the teachings of the messenger Mohammad … But those who are already Muslim must know that Allah mentions in the Koran, in fact if you look at Chapter 8 Verse 60, he said prepare as much as you can the steeds of war to terrorize the enemy. So, terrorizing the enemy is in fact part of Islam. I mean, this is something that we must embrace and understand as far as the jurisprudence of jihad is concerned.” Regarding “innocents” there are none. The Imam explains: “The thing that people need to appreciate is that in war the Muslims are notdistinguishing in general between civilians and military because those very civilians are those who put the people in charge and those people in charge like Obama and others are sending the troops to Muslim countries so they don’t making (sic) that distinction; let alone between people who are journalists, who are considered to the right hand in fact and the propaganda machine of the Obama Administration.” The Koran commands Muslims to engage in a holy war (Jihad) in order to impose Islam and Shariah Law on the entire world. “Fight and kill the disbelievers wherever you find them, take them captive, harass them, lie in wait and ambush them using every stratagem of war.” (Koran 9:5) Interestingly, the President’s counter terrorism advisor, John Brennan (now Director of the CIA), during a speech at the Center for Strategic and International Studies, argued that the terms “jihadist” or “jihad” should not be used to describe America’s enemies.  His reason: jihad is a holy struggle and a legitimate tenet of Islam. It sure is. And jihadists are America’s enemy. See the video below.
