Opinionated Ranter - The Adventures of Being Awesome...

 
I am but a man trying to live the dream. This is how I see the world...

ISLAM (cont'd) III

Recently we had a ruckus here in town involving the Muslim crowd vs the Christians. Zachariah Anani, who claims to be a former Muslim terrorist who has converted to Christianity, gave a lecture at a local Baptist church expounding on the view that Islam is basically a violent religion. I wasn't present so I rely on news reports to bring this article to you.
Mr. Anani claims to have been a terrorist in the mid-East and claims to have killed 223 people. If this is true, how he ever got past our immigration officials is beyond me. He should have been turned back at the border one day one, but that is a whole other story.

Apparently Mr. Anani quoted extensively from the Qur'an during this lecture and this led to the brouhaha. He quoted passages where the Qur'an says it is okay to kill all the infidels and right away the Muslim gang accused him of taking the quotes out of context. How can you put something like that into a good context? "Kill all the infidels..........but do it gently"? Sorry, I don't buy it. If someone tells me to kill someone else, there is only one context to take it in, no matter how much spin you put on it.
A lot of Christians think Mr. Anani is spreading hate against Islam while others say he is merely exercising his right of free speech and educating people against what to watch out for. The Muslims seem to agree with the former, yet fail to recognize that wherever Muslims congregate in large numbers around the world, violence or intolerance soon follows. I need only to refer to Paris or Australia to validate that point. You can pick the spot you want on the globe and tell me I'm wrong. Mr. Anani's point is that so far we have been blessed here in North America by not having any violent outbreaks, but the day is coming.

These Muslims would have Mr. Anani silenced and charged. For what? Reading? They seem to think it is okay to support organizations such as Hamas or Hezbollah with no repercussions from the police but when one man tries to educate us, he should be charged. It looks like they want to apply the right of free speech only to those who either agree with them or are cowed by them.
If Islam is indeed such a pacifist religion, why are there not more, if any, Muslims heading back to the mid-East to spread the peace among their brothers and sisters? The freedom of speech, the freedom to criticize government, the freedom to go to school, the freedom to own land, the freedom to vote democratically, these are all freedoms our vets fought for so that we could enjoy them. Surely they are the same things the Muslims here enjoy and would want to share with those left behind in Iran, Iraq, Syria or Lebanon. So where are they?
Still here, safe and sound, happy in their thin skinned knowledge that they can be offended at whatever they choose and no one will stand up to them for fear of being branded a hate-monger.

i agree that muslims should stand against the few who have hijacked their religion but don't expect them to support a "former muslim" who is trashing their religion based on verses taken out of context.

Theres a difference between freedom of speach and hate speach, you get jailed for one.

Heres the deal, if someone says muslims are all terrorists trying to kill people because god says in the Quran muslims must kill all none believers.

Yes, it's true, but taken within context you find it means in self defence as a last measure to protect your way of life, or life there of, in fact it is something your proverbial jesus christ GWB excercies to the extreme with his so-called 'war on terror'.

Now if a muslim speaks out about how it is ok to be a homosexual Muslim, well thats freedom of speach and that person is entitled to his/her own opinion (though I reserve my right to judge him however I wish, doesn't mean I have to agree wtih him).

Anyway, do you honest to god expect me to defend a man accusing me of being a terrorist sympathiser? Hell no, I want him silenced for his hate speach (completely baseless too might I add).


Anyway, while were talking about the Baptist churches why not talk about godhatesamerica.com?

You see I don't blanket judge people, christians or jews or athiests or whatever, I'm more open minded than you'll ever be because I'm a Muslim, I don't have the luxury of saying 'since this website says this, then all christians are like that'.

I do in fact believe people who populate the westboro baptist church should be silenced as they do not excercice freedom of speach, all they do is give christians a bad image.

Just like I don't like an ex-Muslim terrorist (who probably made the terrorist part up simply to get attention, god knows if he was what he claimed he'd be taken in for questioning and naked pyramid parties in a snap), giving me a bad image, I work hard like any other person, I pay my taxes, I go on public transport, I eat food and drink water, and breath air, why should I be viewed as less because someone claims such and such about me.

erhem, now to just piss you off a little bit (because honestly I enjoy seeing you get angry and try to say in a PC way that I'm a terrorist).

I'm a Muslim, and people like you make me feel damn proud to be Muslim, and you also make me feel damn proud to be Australian too. Well since you probably don't understand why I say you make me proud, it is because I can take your shit, both as a Muslim and an Australian, and I can tell you to shove it right back up your ass. I'm here to stay, and I have the support of a vast majority, you sir, will lose, and my fellow Australians and I, will win, we'll stay strong, and stay together, no matter what you say, you can't change our unity, all Australians are under the one umbrella, we just have different colours. Takes a lot of deciet to turn as against each other, and you know exactly what I mean, people like you, go on the radio and state that since when 14 y/o lebanese kid littered all Lebanese people are bad and obviously all Lebanese people are Muslims, hence all Muslims are terrorists who have come here to take over the world.

You hate the fact Muslims are integrating into society so well, you hate the fact Muslims are running for elections now, you hate the fact people don't say 'Muslims and Americans', they just say 'Americans', and you do everything in your power (not a whole lot) to make it out like Muslims are bad guys. The funny thing is, one day you will succeed, and will prove Muslims are all bad guys, but by then people won't tell the difference between Muslim and Australian or American, and it will backfire as you make it out like all Australians or AMericans are bad people. It is already happening with people like Kieth Elisson, and you just hate it. Who's your friend and who's you enemy?




Wait, what am I doing wasting my time here? No one will listen to you expect an extremely small group of far right wing idiots. Preach to the converted, your little cult needs to feel good, and it feels good by hating me, oh well, idiots need a way to gain self satisfaction, were all human, though admittedly some are less intelligent than others, you fall in the lower group of human intelligence and wisdom just like your fellow extremist right wing cult buds

Hmm, now I'm trying to figure out if I'm insulting you or am defending my right to live, you sure make it difficult for me to figure it out one way or the other, well since I can't really tell I'm going to leave it as-is, like the saying goes Allahoo-a-lam (sorry, difficult to write arabic in english). Yeah that means 'god will destroy all infidels such as yourself and everyone else who goes on the internet or lives in the west and will give muslims like me 10,000 virgins to fuck in heaven'. NOt really, all it means is 'god knows best'. Heh, you never have heard that one have you? Then again, to you anything in arabic probably has something to do with Muslims trying to kill the poor christians.

Ahmed, if you've read any of my previous blogs, you would know I don't consider all Muslims to be terrorists. Why you attack me and use the language you do speaks volumes about your level of intelligence. I've seen and heard enough about Muslims being choosy about what they want to offend them. Mr. Anani, and this is his opinion, not mine, is simply trying to warn us what to expect. So far, from what I've read and seen, he isn't far off the mark. Hopefully we have saner heads here in Canada and the Muslim population will prove him wrong. As for killing infidels in self defence, what is self defence? The one who disagrees with you is a threat and so in 'self defence' you are allowed to kill him?
5. January 24th 2007 @ 21:57. Ahmed Says:
hold on a second mate, I'm not allowed to kill anyone unless there is an immediate danger to my own life, as in my beating heart. Don't attempt to take my quotes out of context, I know ou like doing that, but you suck at it pretty badly.

I'm not commenting on anything else, just making it clear so you do not attempt to take my words out of context like you always try to do.

Have fun agreeing with your cult buds, and more importantly, have fun hating me.

I like getting you fired up, you get mad at me and try to make racist remarks but you hold your tongue, it pisses you off and amuses me


Oh, don't feel too flattered, doesn't amuse me as much as when you try to claim I'm a terrorist, that one is pure comical gold.
6. January 24th 2007 @ 22:14. Ahmed Says:
oh one more thing, I know I'm going against my own policy here, but if you are going to claim you don't think Muslims are inherintly evil terrorists then why are you trying to prove them as such, so desperate you are in fact you are turning to a self proclaimed ex-terrorist converted to christian (more like stupid idiot trying to get attention), and claiming he is speaking on behalf of over one billion people.

It's like asking a biologist about the space and time, just isn't the right person to be talking to.

Along comes me, average Muslim guy, but oh no, don't listen to me, I'm obviously a terrorist since I speak of peace and harmony between people.

Your logic denying is another thing that amuses me XD

Ahmed, you rave along as though you have been personally attacked. I've been reading Youranter for quite awhile and can't recall him ever saying that you, personally, are a terrorist. Are you trying to say the Muslim extremists aren't Muslim? Or are you trying to say that you're a good Muslim, so all others must be, too? Whatever you're trying to communicate, you're not doing it very well. You are, however proving the point that some people are so desperate for attention they find insults where there are none.

Ahmed, Shakespeare once said something about "protesting too much." Looks to me like that's exactly what you're doing. I wonder why?
9. January 25th 2007 @ 10:01. youranter Says:
When did I say the man was speaking on behalf of millions? You cleverly try to twist words, Ahmed, and you fail miserably. Don't worry about me being flattered by you either. I'd rather be flattered by someone who can read and knows what they're talking about.
