Qu'ran Burning Called Off

This is an original post, not an archive copy from the Dove World Outreach Center. 

Dr Terry Jones said he has canceled plans to burn copies of the Quran because the leader of a much-opposed plan to build an Islamic Center near ground zero has agreed to move its location. The agreement couldn't be immediately confirmed.

The Rev. Terry Jones said Thursday that Americans oppose the mosque being built at the location and that Muslims do not want the Quran burned. He said instead of his plan to burn the books on Saturday to mark the ninth anniversary of 9/11, he will be flying to New York to speak to Imam Feisal Abdul Rauf about moving the mosque.

"We are, of course, now against any other group burning Qurans," Jones said during a news conference. We would right now ask no one to burn Qurans. We are absolutely strong on that. It is not the time to do it." 

Meh. Should have known he'd go dhimmi under the pressure of the Leftist Media. I guess I'll have to burn one on Saturday just on General Principles.

Of Love and Hate

"You're a hateful bigot!", "You're just taking revenge!", "You're acting out of hate, not love." …Of the thousands of emails and phone calls we are receiving, these statements are fairly common. If they were true, it would most certainly invalidate what we are doing.

"What? you're agreeing that you should stop?" Well, no.

Let me start by saying I can understand why you might think we're being hateful. If you fail to stop and look at what we really say, who we are, and how we act, then a first impression can very well be just that.

But do we hate? Are we bigots? Absolutely not. Not one of us here harbors any hatred toward any person or group of people, and you can see that if you listen to and read our words carefully. Our message is about Islam and not about a people or person.
To Christians, we say "stand up for truth", to non-Christians, we say "seek the truth, and find Jesus".
Love is expressed in different ways, and if you take a moment to think about it you'll see that. A parent does not always accept and tolerate what his child does. Sometimes what he does or says is wrong and it needs correction. If a parent corrects his child does that mean it's not love? of course not. There is a need to warn, there is a need to correct, and there is a need to speak the truth.
At this time there is a real need for Christians to stand for truth. True love is expressed when we speak the truth. Consider the words of Solomon:

"Wounds from a friend can be trusted,
        but an enemy multiplies kisses." (Proverbs 27:6 NIV)

Jesus offended people, and he did it in love. His mission was not to offend, but in speaking the truth he offended people so much that they killed him. Our mission is also not to offend, but to speak the truth. When money changers were in the temple, Jesus braided a whip and drove them out. Did he hate them? No. Was he showing his love for God and for the people? Absolutely. When we sin and offend God, then we are really in a dangerous place.

"Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth." (1 Corinthians 13:6 NIV)

Another commonly quoted passage is that we should "do unto others as we would have them do unto us". Very true. If someone you love is about to walk in front of a mack truck and be killed, I would very much like them to yell and scream and be as offensive as they need to be to get me to wake up and get out of the way! Islam is dangerous. It's dangerous to Muslims because it is teaching them that Jesus Christ is not the way, yet he is. Islam is dangerous to non-Muslims because Muhammad taught and practiced violence toward non-Muslims. Islam is kind of like that mack truck.

Please also note that our actions do not spring from fear or anger. We wish to speak the truth. Because we love Muslims, Christians, Atheists and everyone else, we want them to see and find the truth. You will find that truth in the Bible, the word of God.
The threat of radical Islam will be very real, regardless of our actions. Islam is radical at its most fundamental level, the Koran. Burning or not burning the Koran will not make that go away and the whole world needs desperately to see the truth.
Thanks for reading.

5 More Reasons to Burn the Koran

This was originally posted the Dove World Outreach website blog, and is reproduced in it's entirety here, including tags chosen by the author and date tag chosen by me to make searching by date easier, and adding the author's name as a tag:

By Dave Ingram - Posted on 07 September 2010

1. Shock the world into focus

In a day and age where ideas are confined to 140 character tweets, the violence of modern films dulls our senses, and the attention of most is on the frivolous dribble of celebrity gossip, sports and weather, we all know how much it takes to grab our attention.

So, World, got your attention? Good, please read on.

2. Get people to start asking hard questions

Before World War II, nobody wanted to think that Hitler would really do what he was plotting. It was much more comfortable to think that there would never be another World War and that we had moved past that. Wouldn’t you like to go back to 1938 and issue some warnings that the man was serious?

So here are some questions I recommend you start asking:

• Is Islam really peaceful? (Hint: Surah 9 is chronologically one of the last things Muhammad said)
• What is Islam’s goal? (Hint: Look up Sahih Muslim Book 041, Number 6981)
• Is burning books really the right way to get this message out?
• immediately followed by, what is the right way? (and if you answered “just don’t say anything”, you have unfortunately answered incorrectly.)

3. Remind the world we still have freedom of speech

Amidst the capitulation of US generals, municipal fire departments, and various religious leaders, it seems appropriate to provide a reminder for those who are not too familiar with certain inalienable rights of Americans:

Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or Abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.
    — United States Constitution, 1st amendment

Islam is incompatible with the 1st amendment. You are not allowed to leave Islam once you’re in. Suppression of free speech is standard in many Islamic countries, and even if it’s not done by law, when anyone speaks out against Islam they are immediately met with death threats, which causes most to back down. Even the Gainesville Fire Department has stepped in to aid the suppression of free speech by using an unconstitutional application of a burn permit.

4. Expose the truth

Pressure makes diamonds and fire purifies gold. Sometimes it takes undesirable means to get necessary results. Heat exposes things that are hidden:

"Paul gathered a pile of brushwood and, as he put it on the fire, a viper, driven out by the heat, fastened itself on his hand.  When the islanders saw the snake hanging from his hand, they said to each other, “This man must be a murderer; for though he escaped from the sea, Justice has not allowed him to live.”  But Paul shook the snake off into the fire and suffered no ill effects." (Acts 28:3–5 NIV)

CAIR, the Council on American-Islamic Relations, likes to paint a pretty picture of Islam, hiding its evils. If you are unfamiliar with Islam, here are some suggested google search terms: “Al-taqiyyah”, “dar al-harb”, “abrogation”, “verse of the sword”. While you’re at it, you could google “Terry Jones Arrested” and find out the depths to which CAIR is willing to stoop in order to prevent our message from getting out. They published a completely false (feel free to research it) story that Dr. Jones was arrested on charges of sharing child pornography. If lying were not aloud in Islam, I would be shocked, but as it stands, it’s just another day for Islam.

We are in fact commanded by Paul in the Bible to expose the darkness, a good example of which is exposing the violence and lies of Islam.

"Have nothing to do with the fruitless deeds of darkness, but rather expose them.  For it is shameful even to mention what the disobedient do in secret.  But everything exposed by the light becomes visible,
for it is light that makes everything visible. This is why it is said:  
    “Wake up, O sleeper,
        rise from the dead,
    and Christ will shine on you.”"
(Ephesians 5:11–14 NIV emphasis added)

5. Force the world into action

Do you think we’re wrong about Islam? Go and study Muhammad’s life after he left Mecca.

Do you agree that Islam is dangerous but think we’re going about it the wrong way? OK, so go and find your own way, but go and do something!

Do you think Christianity is wrong? Then go and study the Bible, study History, and seek the truth.

So if you’re all worked up about us burning the Koran, then the time for action is now. We don’t make this stuff up. The truth is out there, and the truth shall set us free.

Finally

Let's just make one thing clear. A small church, in a small town, down a back road, burning copies of its own books, on its own property, is not responsible for the violent actions anyone may take in retaliation to our protest. Remember, Paul did not make the snake, the fire drove it out and he was bitten. If violence happens in reaction to this, the violence was not caused by us, it has just been exposed.

By Fran Ingram - Posted on 02 September 2010

On 9/11/10 we are burning Korans to raise awareness and warn. In a sense it is neither an act of love nor of hate. We see, as we state in the Ten Reasons below, that Islam is a danger. We are using this act to warn about the teaching and ideology of Islam, which we do hate as it is hateful. We do not hate any people, however. We love, as God loves, all the people in the world and we want them to come to a knowledge of the truth. To warn of danger and harm is a loving act. God is love and truth. If you know the truth it can set you free. The world is in bondage to the massive grip of the lies of Islam. These are:
One
The Koran teaches that Jesus Christ, the Crucified, Risen Son of God, King of Kings and Lord of Lords was NOT the Son of God, nor was he crucified (a well documented historical fact that ONLY Islam denies). This teaching removes the possibility of salvation and eternal life in heaven for all Islam's believers. They face eternal damnation in hell if they do not repent.
Two
The Koran does not have an eternal origin. It is not recorded in heaven. The Almighty God, Creator of the World, is NOT it's source. It is not holy. It's writings are human in origin, a concoction of old and new teachings. This has been stated and restated for centuries by scholars since Islam's beginnings, both Moslem and non-Moslem. 
Three
The Koran's teaching includes Arabian idolatry, paganism, rites and rituals. These are demonic, an ongoing satanic stronghold under which Moslems and the world suffer. 
Four
The earliest writings that are known to exist about the Prophet Mohammad were recorded 120 years after his death. All of the Islamic writings (the Koran and the Hadith, the biographies, the traditions and histories) are confused, contradictory and inconsistent. Maybe Mohammad never existed. We have no conclusive account about what he said or did. Yet Moslems follow the destructive teachings of Islam without question. 
Five
Mohammad's life and message cannot be respected. The first Meccan period of his leadership seems to have been religiously motivated and a search for the truth. But in the second Medina period he was "corrupted by power and worldly ambitions." (Ibn Warraq) These are characteristics that God hates. They also led to political assassinations and massacres which continue to be carried out on a regular basis by his followers today.  
Six
Islamic Law is totalitarian in nature. There is no separation of church and state. It is irrational. It is supposedly immutable and cannot be changed. It must be accepted without criticism. It has many similarities to Nazism, Communism and Fascism. It is not compatible with Western Civilization. 
Seven
Islam is not compatible with democracy and human rights. The notion of a moral individual capable of making decisions and taking responsibility for them does not exist in Islam. The attitude towards women in Islam as inferior possessions of men has led to countless cases of mistreatment and abuse for which Moslem men receive little or no punishment, and in many cases are encouraged to commit such acts, and are even praised for them. This is a direct fruit of the teachings of the Koran. 
Eight
A Muslim does not have the right to change his religion. Apostasy is punishable by death. 
Nine
Deep in the Islamic teaching and culture is the irrational fear and loathing of the West. 
Ten
Islam is a weapon of Arab imperialism and Islamic colonialism. Wherever Islam has or gains political power, Christians, Jews and all non-Moslems receive persecution, discrimination, are forced to convert. There are massacres and churches, synagogues, temples and other places of worship are destroyed. 

From Acts 19 (Amplified)
     18Many also of those who were now believers came making full confession and thoroughly exposing their [former deceptive and evil] practices.
    19And many of those who had practiced curious, magical arts collected their books and [throwing them, book after book, on the pile] burned them in the sight of everybody. When they counted the value of them, they found it amounted to 50,000 pieces of silver (about $9,300).
    20Thus the Word of the Lord [concerning the attainment through Christ of eternal salvation in the kingdom of God] grew and spread and intensified, prevailing mightily.

Like the Christians in Acts 19, we are publicly burning a book that is demonic. Many of our greatest supporters are ex-Moslems. They know these evils first hand. We are not, like the Nazis, stealing books, destroying properties or harming any people. We are not Nazis nor are we like Nazis. The Christians in Acts 19 did not go on from their scroll burning to harm anyone. They used the public burning as an opportunity, a demonstration to preach the truth. Only to preach and leave the decision of whether to follow the truth or not. 
Do not forget POINT SIX. Islam (not us) is totalitarian in nature, like Nazism, Communism, and Fascism. This evil nature of Islam needs to be seen. Moslems around the world burn and kill on a regular basis, every week, properties and people. All you have to do is follow the news. The many death threats we are receiving, the warnings about terror attacks also prove our point. Do Christians make these threats when Bibles or churches are burned? No.
We have fallen asleep since 9/11/01 and have been hoodwinked by the growth of a (for now) non violent Islam. Shall we give in to threats, then, and allow Islam to grow in America unopposed? We at Dove World Outreach Center will not, even if it costs us our lives. For those who support us, we say thank you for standing with us in courage. For those who oppose us, we say wake up and do not give in to the fear and lies!

Some more thoughts:
Are there other dangers and evils in the world? Of course. There are many we could and do address, but at this time we have a vision and a call to confront this great danger. Are there a lot of reasons NOT to do what we are doing? Yes, people have written and called with many reasons. I am sure the great men and women of faith in Hebrews 11 heard and thought of many reasons not to follow God’s word. But they followed God’s word. 
“Now faith is being sure of what we hope for and certain of what we do not see.” Hebrews 11:1
We are sure that the world needs to see this warning about the teachings of Islam at this time, in this way. We are certain of God’s plan for us here and now. 

For those that argue that we are not qualified to make the assertions about Islam that we do, this is ridiculous. We know what the Bible says about evil and the devil’s work and plans. Islam and the Koran clearly discredits itself. What we say about Islam has been said by many others. We may be the only organization burning Korans, but we are not alone in stating the Ten Reasons why the Koran is dangerous. 

We follow the work of many men and women of courage who are also putting their lives at risk to expose the evils of Islam. Islam simply hates public criticism, whether your burn Korans or not. Some are ex-Moslems, now Christian: Walid Shoebat, Nonie Darwish, Mosab Hassan Yousef, Nabil Quereshi, Simon Deng. Other ex-Moslems are: Ayaan Hirsi Ali, Wafa Sultan, Ibn Warraq, Brigitte Gabriel. Then there are many Christians, Jews and atheists writing, speaking and publishing on websites: Geert Wilders, Mark Steyn, Norman Podhoretz, Chris Logan, David Wood, Robert Spencer, Pamella Geller, Bill Warner, David Horowitz, Daniel Greenfield, thereligionofpeace.com, Creeping Sharia, Answering Islam, Acts 17 Apologetics, and many more.

Islam is Cursed by Cursing Israel; we are Blessed by Blessing Israel

We may be a small church, but we have broad knowledge of the International scene and a deep faith in the Word of God. At this time in America’s history, America needs “Islam is of the Devil.” It does not need to bless Islam. President Obama and his Administration bring a curse on America if they turn on Israel.

A common question we get from Moslems: why don’t you have a sign that says “Jews are of the devil”? First of all, we do not say “Moslems are of the devil.” We do not hate Moslems (or anyone) or wish them harm. Rather, we say “Islam is of the devil” because the teachings of Islam and what that produces in lies, violence and oppression are of the devil. We hope and pray that Moslems will come out of Islam and become Christians.

If Jews deny that Jesus Christ was the Messiah, the Savior of the World, then their beliefs are also of the devil, in the sense that they will not be saved. However, there is much more hope for the teachings of Judaism leading people to a belief in Christ, since they are pointed constantly to the hope of the Messiah, than for the followers of Mohammad. Moslems are trained from birth with repetitions of prayers and Koranic verses that breed hatred for both Jews and Christians, and their teachings, a stronghold of hatred, fear and violence, even when they do not understand the words they say.

Both Jewish and Christian teaching have no parallel to the teachings of lies, violence and oppression of Islam. Judaism is not anti-Christian. Also, all of the teachings of the Old Testament, the history, the Patriarchs, the Prophets, the people of Israel, the land are precious to us as Christians.

Most of us have lived in Europe or have immigrated from Europe. Our parents and grandparents lived and fought through the Second World War, on both sides. We are horrified that Europe cannot see the looming danger of Islam as the new Nazism of these times. It is tragic that Christians in Europe are full of apathy and fear, not even living and proclaiming their own faith, let alone confronting the strongholds of Islam, liberalism, humanism and intellectualism.

And why does Europe not support Israel as the United States does? Europe has lost the blessing of God because of this, because of its rejection of the Word of God, the truth of the Gospel of Jesus Christ. America’s political leaders must not follow this path, yet we are in critical times for America too. The Obama Administration is following Europe’s agenda and is winning the blessings of Europe for their efforts. America does not need the blessings of Europe. America needs the blessing of God. America must not follow President Obama's lead.

Thankfully, the link between Islam and Nazism is being discussed more openly now. Here is a repost of an article by Clifford May.
Links between Islam and Nazis
By Clifford D. May
Scripps Howard News Service
Sheikh Muhammad Hussein, the Mufti of Jerusalem, last month called on Palestinians to defend the Al-Aqsa Mosque which, he said, was ``threatened by the plans of the enemies of God," by which he meant Israelis.

It should go without saying that this is a lie. There is no Israeli threat to Al-Aqsa. Israelis have always recognized Islamic sovereignty over Islamic religious sites within Israel ― despite the fact that Jewish holy places have been desecrated by Palestinians, Jordanians and others. The notion that the Israelis would raze Al-Aqsa to build a temple on its ruins ― this, too, the Mufti has charged ― is a ludicrous slander.
What should not go without saying is how serious it is that such an allegation has been leveled by Jerusalem's senior Islamic religious authority. Under Sharia, Islamic law, to be an ``enemy of God" is to be the worst sort of criminal. Just a few weeks ago in Iran, five people were declared mohareb, enemies of God ― and then hanged.

Mahmoud Abbas, president of the Palestinian Authority, must know all this. Yet he says nothing about it. Nor do most Western diplomats, politicians and journalists.
Also ignored is the historical context. In the 1930s, the Mufti of Jerusalem was Haj Amin el-Husseini. He, too, despised Jews. There was not yet a state of Israel to despise. After participating in a pro-Nazi coup in Iraq in 1941, Husseini moved to Berlin.

 There he became Hitler's ally, the ``most important public face and voice of Nazi Germany's Arabic-language propaganda," in the words of historian Jeffrey Herf, who adds: ``Husseini was a key figure in finding common ideological ground between National Socialism, on the one hand, and the doctrines of Arab nationalism and militant Islam, on the other."
Herf's groundbreaking study, ``Nazi Propaganda for the Arab World," draws on archival resources not previously mined to explore the extent and significance of this collaboration. His nuanced conclusion: ``Nazi Germany's Arabic-language propaganda was neither an imposition of a set of hatreds previously unknown to the traditions of Islam nor a matter of simply lighting the match to long-standing but suppressed anti-Jewish hatreds. "

Rather, the Nazis and their Arab partners drew on and emphasized ``the most despicable and hate-filled aspects of the cultures of Europe and of Islam."
They also added this audacious twist: They claimed they were the ones under attack. Their purpose, they insisted, was merely to protect themselves from a malevolent conspiracy. Over and over, Nazi diplomats and their allies drove the message that Churchill had started the war against Germany ``to expand British power," and that Roosevelt was behind Churchill ``as the exponent of world Jewry."
Herf elaborates: ``In Europe, the Nazis presented their policy of `extermination' and `annihilating' the Jews as a desperate and justified act of self-defense. In their propaganda directed at the Middle East, they urged Arabs and Muslims to take matters into their own hands and `kill the Jews' before the Jews were able to kill them. In both its European and Middle Eastern dimensions, the propaganda rested on the identical logic of paranoia and projection."
And here we are, more than a half-century later, with the current Mufti of Jerusalem fabricating crimes against Muslims for which Jews deserve to be put to death. Meanwhile, Hamas leaders openly declare their intention to annihilate Israel and exterminate Jews ― claiming they, too, are acting in self-defense, and calling themselves a ``resistance" movement.
Few scholars have examined the links between Nazi and Islamist ideas in the 20th century. Few journalists are examining their venomous legacy in the present era. Herf is an exception, as is author Paul Berman who recently observed that a taboo has developed: Most intellectuals determinedly ignore the fact that Nazi inspirations have visibly taken root among present-day Islamists, notably in regard to the demonic nature of Jewish conspiracies and the virtues of genocide."

This means, Berman added, that ``the Islamist preachers and ideologues have succeeded in imposing on the rest of us their own categories of analysis." In a war of ideas, that's tantamount to surrender.

Honest Confessions from Muslim Scholars

Thanks to our ex-Muslim supporters and friends who have studied Islam extensively in Arabic for the following essay! God bless and keep you all, and your families who live dangerously as Christians in Islamic lands. In Christ, Dove World Outreach Center.

The Brutal & Inhumane Islamic Law is Totally Against Our Constitution

The Builder of the Ground Zero Mosque Wants to Apply this Islamic Law!

The New York Times mentioned on August 22, 2010 that not just the Taliban stones adulterers, but also Saudi Arabian, Iranian, Pakistani, Sudanese, Somalian and even Nigerian Muslims: Why? Because, this simply is Islamic Sharia Law. In front of me now is a book called “The Ordained Penalties of the Sharia Law,” written by The most prominent and influential Islamic University, Al-AZhar of Egypt. This book is distributed to all of the Islamic Mosques in the United States. It says on pages 9 and 25 that adultery should be punished by stoning to death. Mohammad himself stoned men and women by his own hands. The Taliban are not extremists, but rather are genuine in that they want to apply Islamic Law.
Mr. -Rauof, the builder of the Ground Zero Mosque, wants to apply Islamic Law. What is this law all about? What is literally included in this book written by Al-AZhar?
Yes indeed, American people should know the mere facts, that the top Islamic universities confess that genuine Islam:
    •    Is not peaceful at all and rejects freedom of religious and human rights.
    •    Degrades & dehumanizes women, and discriminates and persecutes Jews and Christians.
All the Muslim scholars openly confirm that their “prophet” Mohammad said:
    1.    I was ordered by God to fight all people until they say that I am his messenger. If they say that I am not, allowed to shed their blood, seize their property, and capture their women.
    2.    If any Muslim converts to become a Christian or a Jew, he should be killed (Law of Apostasy).
    3.    If anyone steals even an egg, his hand should be cut off (Law of Theft).
    4.    If anyone drinks any alcohol, he should be flogged with 40 lashes.
    5.    Only the blood of Muslims is made equal. Consequently, if any Muslim kills one of another faith he will be required only to pay money to the family, but not be killed. However, the penalty for killing another Muslim is death.
    6.    Hang the whip where your wives can see it. (According to Al-Zomokhshori, in his popular book “The Revealer,” while explaining the Quran, Sura 4:34).
    7.    A wife is considered to be a slave to her husband.see AL Gazyia volume5,.and he said that all Muhammad friends including Omar his second successor,confirmed what Muhammad said.

Note: It is well-known that Mohammad not only owned slaves, but was a slave trader in the market of Mecca, especially after he became a “prophet.” (According to Al Gawzyyia in his book Zad Al-Miad, page 160, part 1).
He said also that He bought more than He sold, and he like all his friends had Female slaves for sex.

References

Egypt – Al-AZhar University
In page 30 of the above mentioned book, the “prophet” Mohammad said that anyone who runs away from Islam should be killed, whether they adopted another faith or not. A woman called Um Marawan renounced Islam. Mohammad ordered that if she failed to repent, that she should be put to death. All of Mohammad’s successors continued this practice. It is well-known that the first successor killed thousands of Arabs who renounced Islam after Mohammad’s death. All Junior High students study this War of Apostasy with pride.
Saudi Arabia – Islamic University
In 1974 A.D. the Muslim professor Ibn baz wrote a book to threaten the former president of Tunisia, Borkeba, as an apostate (one who renounces Islam) because he said that the Quran is filled with a lot of contradictions and fictional stories. Borkeba also degraded Muhammad and prohibited polygamy.
Kuwait and The Qatar Islamic University
The Muslim scholar Dr. Ahmad of Qatar said boldly and literally in the book “Individual Guarantee in Islamic Law” that we reject the United Nation’s Article 18 pertaining to Human Rights which states that anyone has the right to change his or her religion because Islam does not acknowledge this type of freedom.
Also see the weekly Kuwaiti magazine “Islamic Society,” April 17, 1989 – Dr. Jabir.who confirmed that.
If you are looking for more references, search “The Law of Apostasy Must Change,” a book by Reverend Bassam Madany, and also an article in The New York Times, May 12, 2008, about President Obama, titled, “The Apostate President.” The article stated that according to Islamic Sharia Law, any Muslim country may not punish any individual who tries to kill President Obama because he was raised as a Muslim.
No Compulsion in Religion – What Does This Verse Mean?
In his popular volume “Al Muhalla,” Ibn Hazm said in volume 8, part 2, that any Christian or Jew is free to be a Muslim or not. There is no compulsion. If He became Muslim, then he is not free anymore to renounce Islam, otherwise he should be killed. He also added on page 196, that is truly related to us, that Mohammad used to force the Pagan Arabs to embrace Islam or be killed. AL-Shaeawy of Egypt said the same.
Another very popular Muslim scholar, Al Shafi in his book “The Ordinance of Quran,” part 2, page 50, stated that Mohammad used to capture and kill Jews and Christians until some of them were forced to be Muslims and he imposed large taxes and humiliation on the others .
Our Religion is Not Peaceful
A very honest confession from one of the top contemporary Muslim scholars Dr. Al-Buti in his frequently printed book “Jurisprudence of the Mohammad Biography,” in the English edition, 1988, page 73. He says, “It is a wrong statement to say that Islam is a peaceful and loving religion. ”I hope Obama, Bush, Bloomberg, And Ron paul, and MR Ellison will learn. In the same book he keeps repeating that, “The jihad and the holy war in Islam is basically offensive, not defensive, to expand the religion because Mohammad said I was ordered by God to fight all people.” Actually that is what has happened in history.
What About the Verses of Peace in the Quran?
In his very popular book “Exactness-Itqan in Quaranic Science,” part 3, pages 61 – 69, Imam Al-Suyiti himself said that the verses of peace in the Quran issued first in Mecca when Muslims were few and weak but when they became strong in Medina they were ordered to fight and all these verses were abolished “abrogated” and replaced by the verses of the sword!!
Islamic Law of Theft
In “The Ordained Penalty of Sharia,” page 5, the author said upon the first offense that the right hand should be amputated. Upon the second offense, the left foot should be amputated. All of this is according to the Quran, Sura 5:38.
Mohammad used to hang the amputated hand on the thief’s neck and make him walk around the city as it is written in the book “Zad Al Miad-Gawzyaa,” volume 5.pages 52-56 Library Al Minara Al Islamyia.
About Beating the Wife
In his book “You Ask and Islam Answers,” page 94, the Muslim scholar Mushtahari commented on Sura 4:34 about beating the wife. He said that many wives are the sort of woman who need punishment and beating to bring them back to their senses. Dr. Ahmad of Qatar Islamic University in his above-mentioned book “Individual Guarantee” also agrees with this statement.No wonder that Liberal Muslim women ptotest as Taslima Nasrin in her popular NOVEL,SHAME. Of course escaped Bagladish to avoid Death.

About women in general, Mohammad said also that they have a deficiency in their mind and they are the cause of an evil omen and have crooked character.and most of the people that are going to hell are women. (Listed in the book “Bukhari,” volume 7 in English Edition also thanks).
Tolerance Verses Intolerance
We should definitely have love and tolerance to all peace-loving Muslims, but the Inhumane Islamic Sharia Law is very intolerant toward human rights and woman, and it breaks our federal law and Constitution which honor women and the freedom of religion. We should have intolerance to the religion of Islam. Before building the Ground Zero Mosque or any other Mosque in our Land, they should renounce not promote! the Sharia Law which mandates the killing of anyone who renounces Islam, stoning the adulterer, flogging the beer drinker, or cutting the hand off the thief if he steals even an egg!!. We cannot tolerate genuine Islam, never ever period. And the Muslim terrorist are genuine Muslim want to obey their Prophet ,Quran ,and all Muslim scholars without exception.,as we have seen already.
If Mr Raouf or Kenith Ellison Cogressman of Minnesota want Sharia Islamic Law, they should go to Saudi Arabia, but in this case their wives cannot drive a car.

Let's learn a new word on the first day of school, shall we? Of course all of Gainesville, Florida knows the phrases: Islam is of the Devil and International Burn a Koran Day. Why is this good? Because we are trying to get them and the rest of America to stop being dhimmwits.

The Word

Bat Yeor's definition:
"As for the concept of dhimmitude, it represents a behavior dictated by fear (terrorism), pacifism when aggressed, rather than resistance, servility because of cowardice and vulnerability. The origin of this concept is to be found in the condition of the Infidel people who submit to the Islamic rule without fighting in order to avoid the onslaught of jihad. By their peaceful surrender to the Islamic army, they obtained the security for their life, belongings and religion, but they had to accept a condition of inferiority, spoliation and humiliation. As they were forbidden to possess weapons and give testimony against a Muslim, they were put in a position of vulnerability and humility."

Bernard Lewis, Professor Emeritus of Near Eastern Studies at Princeton University, states that
"If we look at the considerable literature available about the position of Jews in the Islamic world, we find two well-established myths. One is the story of a golden age of equality, of mutual respect and cooperation, especially but not exclusively in Moorish Spain; the other is of “dhimmi”-tude, of subservience and persecution and ill treatment. Both are myths. Like many myths, both contain significant elements of truth, and the historic truth is in its usual place, somewhere in the middle between the extremes."

Robert Spencer author of The Myth of Islamic Tolerance defines dhimmitude as:
Dhimmitude is the status that Islamic law, the Sharia, mandates for non-Muslims, primarily Jews and Christians. Dhimmis, “protected” or “guilty” people, are free to practice their religion in a Sharia regime, but are made subject to a number of humiliating regulations designed to enforce the Qur'an's command that they "feel themselves subdued" (Sura 9:29). This denial of equality of rights and dignity remains part of the Sharia, and, as such, are part of the legal superstructure that global jihadists are laboring through violence to restore everywhere in the Islamic world, and wish ultimately to impose on the entire human race.

Case in point, the reaction of Gainesville, Florida to our "Islam is of the Devil" sign and protests. The denial of the Burn Permit is the latest in a series of behaviors "dictated by fear (terrorism), pacifism when aggressed, rather than resistance, servility because of cowardice and vulnerability."
Christian churches here have been scrambling to distance themselves from us, some even denying the central truths of the Gospel of Jesus Christ in order to stand by people of other faiths and say all is well: COEXIST. There are many paths to God! We may have more 'coexist' bumper stickers in this City than anywhere else per capita. Please pay attention to the fact that the crescent is the C and the Cross is stuck at the end. Dhimmiitude!
Christians have been protesting against our street preaching and peaceful protests, as if evangelism were not a part of our faith anymore, and now a large church is holding a gathering for 'hope' with other faiths on September 10. The only reason we can think of for such a meeting is to try to placate the Moslems who may well be serious about violence. Rest assured, Moslems, you seem to have already won with the Gainesville churches. They are holding their hands high: don't shoot! I am a dhimmi.
The Alachua County School board has mandated school uniforms this year for the first time in history. This is because they handled the whole T-Shirt incident of last August so poorly that the ACLU came to our defense and is helping us sue them. Several of our students wore T-Shirts that read ISLAM IS OF THE DEVIL. The case is still working is way through the legal process, but the kids are stuck with the uniforms. (See our In the News section for more on that.)
Oh, but they can wear the official school T-Shirts which just have the name of the school on it. However, dhimmi Westwood Middle School decided to put peace signs in their Os. To a Christian that is recognized as a blatantly anti-Christian symbol, a broken upside down Cross. So no mention of the evils of Islam anymore, but they can break their own regulations and use peace symbols, to get back at us for messing things up with our T-Shirts last year, we suppose.
The local media is an interseting study for dhimmitude. Especially the Gainesville Sun. They went out of their way to give long detailed coverage of what all our opposition had to say, slanderous accustaions with no proof to back them, and the long School Board meeting where the community spoke and spoke about Islam being so peaceful and wonderful. Interviews with us have often been misquoted or ignored. Of course, owned by the New York Times they represent the left in all its might, but one cannot help feeling sick about the lack of journalistic integrity at times. We give a much higher mark to TV 20 and the Alligator in this area, but we have been a problem for them too. Understandably, I suppose, for organizations funded by a City that is angry with us. 
In the spring this year, our mortgage was called in without warning. Although we have been their client for many years, in perfectly good standing, RBC Bank demanded that we repay $140,000 in 60 days.  RBC Bank gave no reason for their demand, but they are headquartered in Raleigh, N.C. North Carolina has a strong Muslim presence including state senator Larry Shaw who is also the chairman of the terror-linked Muslim group CAIR – an unindicted co-conspirator to the largest Islamic terror financing conviction in the U.S. It is part of the RBC Canada family that has entered into Islamic Sharia financing in recent years.
Our church is certainly not Sharia compliant. Banks that offer Sharia Finance prefer only to do business with Sharia compliant clients. What does this mean for the future of America’s churches and businesses that do not please the growing Moslem population? Some examples would be selling pork or alcohol - not allowed under Sharia. We managed to fight for a year’s extension, but now dhimmi Cottons All Lines Insurance has sent notice of a cancelation of our insurance.
Then there is the Burn Permit. When we first applied for it, there was no problem. Now the City Council has voted to deny it, even though it is our 1st Ammendment Right. Here is Dr Jones' recent statement to the media about this decision:

We are not surprised. It is a typical example of how government bows to pressure. We met with the Fire Marshal and agreed to all their stipulations. There was no legal reason to turn us down. It was strictly a political move. We will on 9/11 still burn Korans.

... in Gainesville, Florida. Or shall we call it Dhimmiville, Florida?
