Racial and religious prejudice and defamation will always be with us, although they are growing less acceptable socially. Call someone a nigger or dago or spic or kike and you’re out of the game. Write about how Jews control the banks and the media, or how the Civil Rights Act of 1964 has destroyed our schools and nice people will come down hard on you. But these same nice people have no such compunctions about spreading hateful misinformation about Muslims.
I got such an email just this morning, from a very nice person. It’s subject line was “Life is a Journey, Not a guided tour,” and it forwarded something called “Jihad watch, Islam Explained in Layman’s terms.”
I’m uncomfortable repeating the vile race-hatred but people need to see what’s circulating virally on the internet and through our society. So here are some of the “explanations,” quotes truncated but—I promise—all in context:
- “Islam is not a religion, nor is it a cult. In its fullest form, it is a complete, total, 100% system of life. Islam has religious, legal, political, economic, social, and military components. The religious component is a beard for all of the other components…
- “Islamization begins when there are sufficient Muslims in a country to agitate for their religious privileges…
- “As long as the Muslim population remains around or under 2% in any given country, they will be for the most part be regarded as a peace-loving minority…
- “At 2% to 5%, they begin to proselytize from other ethnic minorities and disaffected groups, often with major recruiting from the jails and among street gangs… 4.6%
- “From 5% on, they exercise an inordinate influence…along with threats…
- “After reaching 20%, nations can expect hair-trigger rioting, jihad militia formations, sporadic killings, and the burnings of Christian churches and Jewish synagogues…
- “At 40%, nations experience widespread massacres, chronic terror attacks…
- “Today’s 1.5 billion Muslims make up 22% of the world’s population. But their birth rates dwarf the birth rates of Christians, Hindus, Buddhists, Jews, and all other believers. Muslims will exceed 50% of the world’s population by the end of this century. (Ponder this for a moment)
- “Well, ladies and gentlemen, today we are letting the fox guard the hen-house. The wolves will be herding the sheep!
- ”Obama appoints two devout Muslims to Homeland Security posts. Doesn’t this make you feel safer already?
- “Was it not “Devout Muslim men” who flew planes into U.S. buildings 8 years ago?
- “Was it not a Devout Muslim who killed 13 at Fort Hood?
- “Please forward this important information to any who cares about the future of our country.”
If you think any of this could be true, it isn’t. Look at Turkey (99% Muslim), Indonesia (86%), or Dearborn, Michigan (33%) where none of it is true.
