Ex Terrorist Says ‘If Islam Produces Them, then Islam is the Problem’: True?

ac002a1d8142836b6dd29372bd73d48e.jpg“The whole problem with the world is that fools and fanatics are always so certain of themselves, but wiser people so full of doubts.”



The United States faces two significant growing threats to national security that are compounded and enabled by the lack of courage and commitment among our leadership.

As for the latter threat, in the British "Observer," July 2, 2007, a former terrorist, Hassan Butt, looked at the terrorism problem from his experience as an insider.

“I remember how we used to laugh whenever people on TV proclaimed that the cause for Islamic acts of terror like 9/11, the Madrid bombing, and 7/7, was Western foreign policy. What this does is help to draw away any critical examination from the real engine of our violence: Islamic theology.” According to a one-time terrorist, the problem of Islamic terrorism is Islamic theology.

“Not all Muslims are terrorists, but all MidEast terrorists are certain to be Muslims. So if Islam produces them, then Islam is the problem.

This is the great fact that the world needs to recognize to make any progress in stopping terrorism, which – if not defeated - will eventually mean catastrophic destruction of cities, including ours.” I know talk show hosts who have been fired for saying what this former terrorist now acknowledges as an empirical axiom.

The Islamic radicals are taught that a reclassification of the globe as a Land of War (Dar ul-Harb) actually allows any Muslim to annihilate the five rights every human is granted under Islam. Anything goes in Jihad. Treachery, cowardice, attacking civilians are not only allowed, but required.

So-called “moderate Muslims” face a classic “Catch-22.” The solution to their dilemma (and ubiquitous bad public relations) is to revise the Koran, but that is not doable given the mandate to interpret the Koran literally. The logical solution (not that anyone is inclined toward logic) is to discredit the philosophy of Islam. However the inherent problem for “peaceful Muslims” is that there is no foundation in the Koran for condemning violence.

There are clear and present facts in evidence, which contradict opinions and prejudices. The often-repeated phrase, “Islam as a peaceful religion,” is tainted by obstinate facts. Fourteen centuries of brutal, imperialistic conquering focused on the establishment of a supranational Muslim world order, and obligation to impose Shari’a totalitarianism, is a tough nut to ignore…and yet that seems the obligation.

“By refusing to challenge centuries-old theological arguments, the tensions between Islamic theology and the modern world grow larger every day.” Butts said.

If or when anyone dares to introduce facts into the discussion they immediately are attacked as purveyors of ‘hate speech’. BULLFEATHERS! The Emperor has no clothes…

  • The radical apologists at CAIR ran Michael Graham out of WMAL, D.C.
  • I was attacked (on the same station) for quoting the Koran. “Believers in Islam are not required to tell infidels - and that's us - the truth. So they apparently have permission to lie when it is appropriate." In its press release, CAIR did not refute the substance of my comments, but called on area Muslims to exert pressure regarding "the incitement of anti-Muslim hatred caused by its talk show hosts."
  • Cal Thomas was recently attacked by CAIR. "But guys like [Cal] Thomas come along and want to say every Muslim should be suspect and should be treated in a certain way. That's not just and that's not the American way," CAIR spokesman Ibrahim Hooper said, thus thoroughly mischaracterizing what Cal Thomas had actually said.



No, it is not the American way…but it IS for sure the CAIR way. Hassan Butt is right when he says, “if Islam produces them, then Islam is the problem”.
However, the simple logic of the former terrorist is anathema to America’s politically correct dogma and to our myopic policy wonks.
Unable to refute facts that contradict preconceived opinion and prejudice, the PC carcinogen is censoring purveyors of facts (see “Muzzling Jihad Watch” by Robert Spencer).
The obvious corollary to Butt’s axiom is: if Islam produces terrorists, it is Islam’s responsibility to fix the problem. But they can’t and won’t. What to do…what to do?
It is not hate speech to repeat words and dogma of a protagonist. It is not hate speech to point out glaring hypocrisy. It is not hate speech to expose purveyors of real hate speech.
Thomas Fuller once observed, “If we are bound to forgive an enemy, we are not bound to trust him.” Likewise, we should not enable evil by restricting the disinfectant quality of sunlight.
