An Exchange Of Thoughts With A Psychologist
I am a Canadian born Indian (Sikh) who is a psychologist and have been following the rise of Islamic fundamentalism with great concern. Not only has Western Civilization weakened itself with the call for a multicultural pluralistic immigration policy, but in the process has also hindered the growth and evolution of the Islamic faith and culture, which is still operating as if it were the 15 Century.
Sleep With The Devil -- Wake Up In Hell!
A "moral person" does not associate with the evil or criminal. You have a DUTY to either change those around you who are immoral, or disconnect and deny them any support from you. This is not a matter of legality, but morality. The bombers were criminals, their families were immoral. We do not put the immoral in prison, but we can cast them out of a moral society to "live elsewhere."
The Mosque's history, however, tells a more-tumultuous story. Buried in government and private archives are hundreds of documents that trace the battle to control the Islamic Center of Munich. Never before made public, the material shows how radical Islam established one of its first and most important beachheads in the West when a group of ex-Nazi soldiers decided to build a mosque.
Islam Considers YOU an Infidel
Every non-Muslim is an "Infidel" according to the interpretation of Islam by the Mullahs. This is because according to Islam --- every human child when born is inherently a Muslim, as it is in a mentally unpolluted pure state. Only when grows to be a non Muslim, he / she loses purity of mind and hence becomes an infidel.
Islam Denies Acknowledgment Of Other Religious Beliefs
It is a cardinal rule of a common sense moral code that a moral person respects the religious beliefs of others, while reserving to himself the duty to judge behavior. Any person, in the name of any religion, who behaves in a way that denies respect for the religious beliefs of others is, himself, behaving immorally.
The Beijing-Islamabad-Riyadh nuclear nexus poses new challenges
The more we learn about "Islam" and Saudi Arabia, the more we realize that for far too long our official eyes have been closed while those men of evil have been plotting for the overthrow of "the West." It is time we started confronting these areas of international terror -- in nation form as well as those in "bin Laden form."
Writing his memoirs in his prison cell while awaiting the gallows, Bhutto stated that if he had not been overthrown he would have put the “Islamic Civilisation” at par with the “Hindu, Christian and Jewish Civilisations” by giving the “Islamic Civilisation” a “full nuclear capability”.
The underground organization was responsible for the bombing of two Bali nightclubs last year, which killed 202 people, and has been blamed by Indonesian police for the attack last month on the J.W. Marriott Hotel in Jakarta, which killed 12. Ba'asyir, 65, was not charged in connection with either attack.
The judges convicted him of trying to overthrow the Indonesian government, saying he had approved of his followers seeking military training abroad with the goal of establishing an Islamic state.
Boykin, the Pentagon's newly named deputy undersecretary of defense for intelligence, sparked a controversy after NBC News and the Los Angeles Times revealed comments he made to evangelical Christian audiences.
Appearing in uniform, he repeatedly described the war against terrorism as a conflict between a "Christian nation" and radical Islamists.
During a Jan. 28 speech at a Southern Baptist evangelism conference at First Baptist Church of Daytona Beach, Fla., Boykin described his 1993 efforts to capture a Somali warlord who had boasted that Allah would protect him from defeat. "I knew that my God was bigger than his. I knew that my God was a real God and his was an idol," Boykin said.
He has told his followers that a society governed by strict Islamic law, in which adulterers would be stoned to death and thieves would have their hands cut off, would be superior to American democracy. Speaking of unnamed forces in the U.S. government and media, he has preached, "These people want the destruction of Islam."
According to a letter reviewed by The Wall Street Journal, Mr. Fakihi told his superiors in Saudi Arabia that his ultimate goal was to turn Berlin into an Islamic proselytizing center for Eastern Europe. And German officials said they believe he met earlier this year with a Tunisian man under investigation here for possessing bomb-making materials and a handbook for brewing poisons.
WSJ: Islamist Terror Comes To India's Streets
NEW DELHI -- There is a tendency, distressingly familiar among the global fraternity of liberals, to shy away from facing awkward realities. India is no exception to this escapism. In the aftermath of the two bomb blasts that killed at least 50 people and injured another 160 in the center of Bombay -- India's largest city and the nerve center of its entrepreneurial culture -- there are some self-serving explanations doing the rounds. The first is that Monday's explosions constitute the militant Muslim reaction to the riots in Gujarat in March 2002. More bizarre is the suggestion that they coincided with the release of a report by the Archaeological Survey of India suggesting that a 10th century Hindu temple predated a 16th century mosque demolished by Hindu activists in 1993.
The United States and India are together "going hard after the bad guys" through exchange of intelligence and cooperation between law enforcement agencies, outgoing US Ambassador Robert Blackwill said on Thursday.
After September 11 attacks in the US, Christian groups in the West are keen on an alliance with Hindu forces, claims an Indian scholar teaching in Florida.
A recent Gallup poll shows that church-going Americans are more likely to support war against Saddam Hussein than are Americans as a whole.
This news has failed to capture the attention of most media, both liberal and conservative. They continue to chant the mantra that America’s religious community, excepting the “religious right,” is nearly united against the war.
According to Gallup, Americans who attend church at least once a week support war to depose the Iraqi dictator by an almost two to one margin. Americans who never attend church or say religion is not important to them are more evenly divided about the possibility of war.
Days after his attempts to mediate in the temple-mosque row in Ayodhya collapsed, more and more people are openly asking - just why does Shankaracharya Jayendra Saraswati hobnob with politicians at all?
The failure of the negotiations between the Kanchi Shankaracharya and the Muslim Personal Law Board on the Ayodhya dispute is regrettable for more reasons than one.
Muslims Deny Israel The Right To Exist!
Muslims generally deny the right of Israel to exist at all. Make no mistake; this is the major stumbling block to peace. There are two factors being ignored in this issue. One, the Jews are the indigenous people of Palestine, having been there thousands of years before there were any Muslims. And two, it should be acknowledged that while the Western powers re-established the Jewish state in the wake of World War II, it should also be noted that of the more than 50 Muslim countries around the world, about half of them also came into being in the last half of the 20th century, carved out by Western powers -- and no one is questioning the legitimacy of even one of them.
UK think-tank demands end to influx of Islamists
The Civitas, an important think-tank in Britain, has in a study report titled "The West, Islam and Islamism" asked Islamic religious leaders living in the country to accept the values of liberal democracy like Hindus, Sikhs and Jews have done.
Can There Be A Christian Terrorist? Yes!
The arrest of alleged Olympic bomber Eric Robert Rudolph may finally allow authorities to answer a question that has loomed since the beginning of the five-year hunt for him, but that has taken on deeper resonance since Sept. 11, 2001: Is he a “Christian terrorist”?
The Saudi Corrupt Government Prefers Terrorists To Morality, May 14, 2003, WSJournal
U.S. and Saudi officials have found multiple signs of an al Qaeda connection to Monday's synchronized attacks in Saudi Arabia, suggesting the terror network remains capable of striking significant targets despite 20 months of U.S.-led efforts to dismantle it.
Why Are Indians Pacifists? -- Dr. Ayyangar -- India
The Modern Mullah, July 2000, Time Europe
When radical iranian students took over the U.S. Embassy in Tehran in 1979, a shadowy figure of revolutionary authority stood in the wings as gun-toting militants chanted "Death to America." Not even the 50 American diplomats seized as hostages knew his name, but Mohammed Mousavi Khoeiniha, a fiery mullah in dark robes, passed messages to the students from his boss, Ayatullah Ruhollah Khomeini. And as the crisis dragged on for 444 days, Khoeiniha's handiwork helped entrench radical Islamic rule.
Hello, Mr. Mousavi Khoeiniha, December 2001, Politics.Com
