MOSLEMS, ISLAM AND JIHAD

The non-Moslem world will never comprehend the hatred and violence that exists in the genocidal schism between the Sunni and Shi'ite sects over the legitimacy and ascendance of succession of the prophet. 

Do the two sects contribute to contradictions between a loving and a vengeful Allah?

Moslems kill Moslems in mosques and it is reported on page 9 of western newspapers. The peace loving Moslems across the world would be afraid to speak out for fear of reprisal. 

It is not clear about the size of the two sects and which is more aggressive and murderous. But the hatred and killing will go on  for eternity. Moslems can call other Moslems infidels.

Moslem women on ABC Q & A would find that criticizing western men is safer than revealing the truth about hateful Moslem men who think that the gates of paradise will open for them when they die.

The rest of the world needs to understand and support peace loving Moslems particularly from racist white supremacists and Moslem extremists.

Since the days of my youth, I have known of Moslems. The first awareness came in studying the Crusades and the European soldiers of God with red crosses on their chests fighting Moslems seeking to control the Holy land.

Many Crusaders were more interested in plunder and pillage than in confronting the Saracens. The Knights Templar were formed to protect the Holy land from the barbarians.

The Moslems invaded Constantinople and razed the city. The next I read of the Moslems involved the Dervishes who killed General Gordon in Khartoum. They pillaged and killed men and enslaved the women. That is the Moslem culture of conquest.

The image of Moslems that has come to the west is of brutal fighters who put all infidels to the sword.

The same occurred with the IS fighters in Syria. The ISIS planned to set up a caliphate, one of several set up in the Middle East over the centuries with the same brutality.

Moslems have made the Jews a key enemy and seek only the total annhiliation of Israel.

My impression of Islam over my life has been of violence and intolerance. There are customs in the Moslem culture that are horrifying to the ordinary citizen of the world.

There is the belief that Allah through Mohammed has decreed that all sinners can be put to the sword with no forgiveness. We have read reports of lynchings by crazed mobs to punish so-called blasphemy decreed by some Imam or other. 

Egyptian men gang rape women whose clothes does not accord with the teachings of Allah. A woman can be gang raped in the street by 30 crazed Moslem men. Hajibs were worn as a mark of oppression of women arranged by men not Allah.

A young university student in Pakistan was brutally murdered for questioning Islam about two years ago. A Christian woman has been in prison for some innocent act that has condemned her to death.

There has been massive brutality of the IS against innocent village people in Syria. Prisoners were beheaded sometimes by foreign IS supporters.

We hear of honour killings of young women over the entire world. Young women are killed by men in the family for even suspected sexual indiscretion. They are entirely subservient to the family men even their young brothers.

Jordan is an epicentre of honour killing and the marriage of underaged girls who often die on their wedding night from blood loss.

The world is horrified at the practice of genital mutilation of young girls where they have their clitoris and labia cut away to remove sexual pleasure for life.

Recently we read of young women escaping from Saudi Arabia and seeking refuge in western countries. They are terrified at the punishment they will receive if returned to the family.

Then there was the terror of 9/11 with the attack of Moslem extremists on the World Trade Centre.

But all the while, we read of the gentle kindness of the Moslem believers particularly those who have migrated to other countries. We fear that Moslem activists will come to settle among them as sleepers.

There is the understanding that Middle East Islam arrived through conquest. The Islam of South East Asia is more gentle and peaceful having arrived with traders.

Yet we read that there is a strong jihadist movement in the high schools and universities of Indonesia of young Moslems seeking the introduction of Sharia law. Is Indonesia poised to turn violent in decades to come?

We in peaceful countries can never feel at peace. Aceh province already lives within the bounds of Sharia law.

We know that the IS jihadists are spreading across the world with the plan to attack by jihadist groups and lone wolf terrorists.

Yesterday I watched 5 Moslem women on ABC Q&A who spoke against the Islamophobia expressed in the world particularly in Australia.

They have to understand the limitations on Gender Equality in the Moslem world. Australia is trying to achieve rights for women but many Moslem countries place women against the Koran and push them down..

Senator Pauline Hanson was quoted several years ago as saying that Moslems should be quarantined like dogs. Senator Fraser Anning blamed the Moslems and Australian politicians for the New Zealand massacre. Adolf Hitler blamed the Jews for everything.

Prime Minister John Howard expressed a view against Moslems coming to Australia. Another Australian politician expressed that Islam was deadly like the plague. But that was an earlier era when Moslems were greeted with fear.

The view expressed was that Islamophobia grew out of the statements of Australian politicians. That may be only partly true. The security of this nation is a paramount consideration. 

Only 50 years ago we feared the domino theory of Chinese hordes sweeping down through Korea and Vietnam

It is a chicken and egg argument. What came first Moslem extremism or Australian political statements and community fear?

The most positive outcome from the horrifying massacre in New Zealand was the realization of how much the Moslem community was a loved part of New Zealand. 

It is obvious that there is a sizeable population of Moslems who have integrated with host countries and become loyal citizens. But we have to be realistic about the dangers that are on the way to confront all including our peaceful Moslem brothers and sisters.

The problems are only just starting. With the destruction of the so-called caliphate in Syria, there may be thousands of terrorists returning to their forsaken homeland to breed violence in isolated terror attacks.

They place the peaceful Moslem community into a fearful dilemma of loyalty. They do not need to face recriminations for not supporting the terrorist  jihad.

White supremacy and islamophobia will force an inevitable violent response by Moslems and test severely the loyalty of Moslem citizens in their new homes. Again it is chicken and egg.

But the guns and bombs of extremists are leveled against whoever is standing in the way at the time. 

Yet we are told by the peaceful Moslems that Allah is a loving God who seeks only faith, kindness and peace. Moslems who pray to Allah believe in His love. The Moslems have to face conflicting messages of vengeance versus forgiveness.

The alleged murderer in New Zealand wants to represent himself in Court. He must not be allowed to spread his message of hate across the world. He is a killer of innocent people. 

What can he say in defence ?? The New Zealand PM refuses to mention his name. He will die in prison like Charles Manson. He is far more hateful than Manson and must never be released. His race war was a hideous fantasy.

But then the violence against women is just as great in the USA where serial killers prowl to find victims.
