Sura in Quran (4:95) - Not equal are those believers who sit (at home) and receive no hurt, and those who strive and fight in the cause of Allah with their goods and their persons. Allah hath granted a grade higher to those who strive and fight with their goods and persons than to those who sit (at home). Unto all (in Faith) Hath Allah promised good: But those who strive and fight Hath He distinguished above those who sit (at home) by a special reward,- This passage criticizes peaceful Muslims who do not join in the violence, letting them know that they are less worthy in Allahs eyes. It also demolishes the modern myth that Jihad doesnt mean holy war in the Quran, but rather a spiritual struggle. Not only is the Arabic word used in this passage, but it is clearly not referring to anything spiritual, since the physically disabled are given exemption. (The Hadith reveals the context of the passage to be in response to a blind mans protest that he is unable to engage in Jihad and this is reflected in other translations of the verse). [source - retrieved from thereligionofpeace/quran/023-violence.htm on 5/23/2014] Here we see REALITY; to wit, all in Islam are urged by the Quran are urged to fight against other humans of other religions who strive and fight in the cause of Allah with their goods and their persons – NO FREEDOM OF RELIGION AS THIS CLEARLY SHOWS. STAND UP FOR FREEDOM AND AGAINST MUSLIM ABUSE: INTRODUCTION: Stand up for human rights, every human being should have the basic human rights of freedom of speech and freedom of religion (conscience), and this should NOT be denied for political or religious expediency. The same groups protesting against freedom of speech because of a film they do not like, are the same groups that have, themselves, made many offensive remarks, films, and cartoons against others. They want the rights of freedom of speech and freedom of religion for themselves, but do NOT want to give it to others. Also, they feel individuals who commit crimes against others such as Sheikh Omar Abd Al-Rahman, should NOT be punished for his wrong doing, i.e., they believe it okay to commit crimes against others. LATEST ON JIHAD AGAINST FREEDOM OF SPEECH AND RELIGION BY COUNTRY: Heres the latest on the jihad against freedom, by country as of 9/13/2012, [source - retrieved from atlasshrugs2000.typepad/ on //2012] : YEMEN Hundreds of protesters stormed the U.S. Embassy compound in the capital Sanaa, chanting “death to America,” setting tires ablaze, smashing windows and pelting the compound with rocks. They brought down the U.S. flag in the courtyard, burned it and replaced it with a black Islamic banner. Yemeni security forces rushed to the scene, fired in the air and used tear gas to disperse the demonstrators. They were able to drive them out of the compound after about 45 minutes, sealing off the surrounding streets. Yemen’s president apologized to President Barack Obama for the attack that he said was aimed to derail Yemen’s close relations with Washington. EGYPT Protesters clashed with police near the U.S. Embassy in Cairo for the third day in a row. Police used tear gas to disperse the demonstrators and the two sides pelted each other with rocks. Sixteen protesters and 13 policemen were wounded in the clashes, which broke out overnight. Twelve protesters have been arrested, the Interior Ministry said. Egypt’s Islamist President Mohammed Morsi vowed during a visit to Brussels not to allow attacks on foreign embassies in Cairo, saying the Egyptian people reject such “unlawful acts.” The ruling Muslim Brotherhood called for demonstrations after Friday prayers to protest against the movie that ridicules Prophet Muhammad. IRAQ Hundreds of followers of the anti-American Shiite cleric Muqtada al-Sadr demanded the closure of the U.S. Embassy in Baghdad — the largest American diplomatic mission in the world — because of the film. Thousands marched in the Shiite stronghold of Sadr City in northeast Baghdad and shouted, “No, no, to Israel! No, no to America!” and “Yes, yes for Messenger of God.” An Iran-backed Shiite militant group threatened U.S. interests in Iraq with its militia’s leader, Qais al-Khazali, telling the AP that the amateurish movie was unforgiveable. He called on all Muslims to “face our joint enemy.” An estimated 15,000 employees work at the U.S. embassy. Large protests were expected in Baghdad and Iraq’s second largest city, Basra, after Friday prayers. AFGHANISTAN The government in Kabul has sought to avert protests, given that anger over perceived insults to Islam has triggered violence in the past. President Hamid Karzai canceled an official visit to Norway and spoke by phone with Obama to convey his condolences for the deaths of the U.S. ambassador to Libya and three other diplomats. He also discussed the “film and the insulting of holy Islamic values.” A Shiite cleric condemned the film during a sermon in a mosque west of Kabul. Sayyed Eisa Hossaini Mazari told about 200 worshippers in a mosque west of Kabul that a “dirty American made a movie and it was put on YouTube.” Mazari did not directly call for demonstrations in Afghanistan, but told the AP there will be protests if there is no “U.S. action against the movie.” IRAN About 50 protesters gathered in Tehran outside the Swiss Embassy, which looks after U.S. diplomatic interests, shouting “Death to America” and condemning the film. The embassy is heavily guarded by riot police and there were no reports of violence. Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei urged the United States to punish those who were involved in making and financing the film, calling it “a grave and unforgivable sin” and a “dirty crime.” Authorities have called for protests after Friday prayers. GAZA About 150 Muslim clerics and lawmakers from the ruling Hamas movement stage a protest outside the parliament building in Gaza City to condemn the film. They accused Israel and the West of stoking up sectarian tensions in the region and pitching Muslims against Christians. Hamas and the smaller militant group Islamic Jihad are calling for large protests across Gaza on Friday. ISLAM AGAINST FREEDOM OF SPEECH AND RELIGION – EXAMPLES: Now with respect to freedom of religion, let’s take a short cursory look at how these groups, Islamist, seek to deny it to others. Spain permitted Muslims to build a mosque in the Spanish town of Granada, but when a building contractor requested a permit to build a Catholic church in Mecca, it was immediately turned down. And throughout the Muslim world attacks on none Muslims and their churches are common place. Here is an example to drive home this point from Kenya: Attacks on Kenyan churches kill 17 By James Macharia | Reuters – 3 hrs ago. [source - retrieved from news.yahoo/attacks-kenyan-churches-kill-17-184136873.html on 7/2/2012] ....NAIROBI (Reuters) - Masked assailants launched simultaneous gun and grenade raids on two churches in a Kenyan town on Sunday, killing at least 17 people in the worst attack in the country since Kenya sent troops into Somalia to crush al Shabaab militants. More than 60 people were wounded in the attacks in Garissa, the north Kenya town which has been used as a base for operations against al Qaeda-linked insurgents in Somalia. This is the worst single attack since October, when our troops went into Somalia, national police spokesman Eric Kiraithe told Reuters. It is the worst in terms of the numbers killed, the manner of execution, the anger behind it and the anguish it has aroused as well as the national impact it has had. There was no immediate claim of responsibility for the attacks in Garissa, a largely Muslim town of 150,000 with a significant ethnic Somali population. Police said they suspected al Shabaab sympathizers or bandits may have been behind the raids, but it was too early to say. In Somalia, al Shabaab declined to comment. White House spokesman Jay Carney said the United States strongly condemned the attacks at a time of transition in the country. Kenya is due to hold an election next March. Regional deputy police chief Philip Ndolo told Reuters from Garissa that seven attackers had hurled grenades into the Catholic Church and the African Inland Church (AIC) and then opened fire with assault rifles. They struck the churches, situated 3 km (two miles) apart, at around 10.15 a.m. (0715 GMT). Two policemen guarding the AIC church following previous attacks were among those killed. The goons were clad in balaclavas, said Ndolo. You can imagine for such a small town how the police and medical services have been stretched trying to deal with this. Television footage showed benches knocked over at the AIC church and blood pooled on the floor and spattered over the walls. Garments, shoes and bibles were strewn around. Police milled outside the churches which were cordoned off by investigators who were picking at fragments and taking notes. We have 17 bodies at the mortuary so far, regional medical officer Abdikadir Sheikh told Reuters. Paul Mwalali, 52, a worshipper at the AIC church, told the Daily Nation newspaper he heard objects hit the roof before explosions rocked the church. I had a front row seat in the church. I heard something fall on the roof. Then there was a huge explosion. I (fell) on the ground. Then there was shooting and people were screaming, he said. Felix Kimanzi told the newspaper he saw masked gunmen hurl two grenades, but only one exploded. I was 100 meters away from the church when I saw two gunmen at the entrance spray bullets at the congregation, he said. They were joined by two more gunmen in blue uniforms who hurled grenades and they all fled on foot. COWARDLY ACTS Seven people who were badly wounded in the attacks were airlifted to Nairobi from Garissa. The attacks were the latest on Christian worshippers in Kenya after two people were killed in grenade blasts in March and April in Nairobi and Mombasa. The latest coordinated assault resembled the tactics of Nigerias Islamist militant group Boko Haram, which has killed hundreds of people on the other side of the continent since the movement started its uprising more than two years ago. Vice President Kalonzo Musyoka condemned the Garissa attacks and said Kenya would not be intimidated by such cowardly acts aimed at instilling fear. The Supreme Council of Kenya Muslims condemned the assault, saying all places of worship must be respected. Garissa, a market centre for the trade in camels, donkeys, goats and cattle, is about 100 km (60 miles) from Kenyas Dadaab refugee camp, where gunmen kidnapped four aid workers and killed a driver on Friday before fleeing towards the border with Somalia. Kenyan forces thrust into Somalia after raids in the border region and kidnappings that threatened the tourism industry in the regions biggest economy and wider regional destabilization. Last Sunday, three people were killed in a grenade attack at a night club in the port city of Mombasa, a day after the U.S. embassy in Kenya warned of an imminent attack on the city. (Additional reporting by Noor Ali and Feisal Omar; Editing by Sophie Hares) REALITY: Conclusion: Guilt Comes On Organizations That Fail To Clean House Of The Wicked Ones: First, The world we live in is ruled by the wicked one as testified to by 1 John 5:19, “And we know that we are of God, and the whole world lieth in wickedness.” (Authorized King James Bible; AV). If we pick up a newspaper in any country, we find reports of cruelty and violence on an unprecedented scale. Man’s inhumanity to man is troubling for a righteous person to contemplate as testified to at Ecclesiastes 8:9, “All this have I seen, and applied my heart unto every work that is done under the sun: there is a time wherein one man ruleth over another to his own hurt.” (AV). Second, Most individuals and/or groups seek to avoid responsibility for their own actions rather than take corrective actions. This also applies to so called religious groups that seek to absolve themselves of responsibility for the wrong actions of members, but fail, willingly, to take action against these wrong doers by purging themselves of these wicked ones. The reality is, If a religion fails to clean house of evil and wicked men when they are discovered, and especially of evil and wicked men/women taking the lead in a congregation, and/or congregations such as Pastors, Ministers, Sheiks, Imams, Bishops, Cardinals, Etc., then the religion is responsible for their wrong doing. Some religions such as Islam have never cleaned house of evil and wicked individuals when they are discovered and that religion has been violent since its beginning, and many of its members lust for violence in such acts as beheading of others, suscide bombers, makers of IEDs, etc. do to the teachings of their groups religious leaders. One notable example of an evil and wicked individual Islam well knows of who is a leader of a large group of members of Islam is Sheik Osama bin Ladin. Of course, Islam, is NOT the only religion that fails to take effective action against evil and wicked individuals and leaders of groups among them, another is the Catholic and Angalican churches that for many years just moved pedophiles to a new congregation when they were uncovered as the worlds news media has so well identified. Groups seeking to keep themselves clean of evil and wicked individuals that sneak into their group take the appropriate action; to wit, they throw them out. Now many religions seek to escape reality by claiming they have no provisions within their religion for purging out these wicked ones, but this is no excuse since it is their failure to provide measures for purging out these wicked ones and no one else’s. Now let’s look at one such religion that tries to escape their responsibility for cleaning house so to speak. Islam fails to clean house and even supports wrong doing and denial of freedom of conscience (religion). Now of course it is important to recognize that not all Muslims are terrorist and jihadists nor refuse to recognize the property rights of others, it is likewise equally important to recognize that all jihadists are members of Islam. Islam is totally responsible for their actions as they tacitly approve of their evil wrong doing and have never cleaned house of these wicked ones. To wit, by not doing so, they have taken on the responsibility for their wrongful actions upon themselves. Yes, of course they are not the only religion that has failed to clean house; thus taking on the guilt of these wrong doers. Any religion, no exception, which fails to clean house is nothing but an evil false religion. And as previously stated, ‘Now many religions seek to escape reality by claiming they have no provisions within their religion for purging out these wicked ones, but this is no excuse since it is their failure to provide measures for purging out these wicked ones and no one else’s.’
