Why the Peaceful Majority is Irrelevant

Why the Peaceful Majority is Irrelevant
CitizenWarrior, October 16, 2010

THE FOLLOWING article was written by Paul on Celestial Junk. I originally read it when someone posted it as a comment on the Citizen Warrior Facebook page. The reason I'm reprinting this is because one of the most common responses we get when we mention anything negative about Islam is, "But the majority of Muslims are peace-loving people." This seems like such a final, decisive, irrefutable, self-evident conclusion, it makes all your ranting about Islam completely pointless. Or so it seems to the person who says it.

But from now on, when someone counters your educational efforts with "most Muslims are peace-loving," school them with Paul's response. Here it is:

Just as a "committed" Christian is one who truly follows the Bible, so a "committed" or "devoted" Muslim is one who truly follows the Quran. And just as a "devoted" Christian is one who truly follows Jesus, so a "devoted" Muslim is one who truly follows Muhammad.

A man whose family was German aristocracy prior to World War II owned a number of large industries and estates. When asked how many German people were true Nazis, he replied, "Very few people were true Nazis, but many enjoyed the return of German pride, and many more were too busy to care. I was one of those who just thought the Nazis were a bunch of fools. So, the majority just sat back and let it all happen. Then, before we knew it, they owned us, and we had lost control, and the end of the world had come. My family lost everything. I ended up in a concentration camp and the Allies destroyed my factories."

We are told again and again that Islam is the religion of peace and that the vast majority of Muslims just want to live in peace. Even if this unqualified assertion is true, it is entirely irrelevant. It is meaningless fluff, meant to make us feel better, and meant to somehow diminish the specter of zealous Muslims rampaging across the globe in the name of Islam.

The fact is that the committed, devoted, zealous followers of Muhammad...the "true Muslims"...rule Islam at this moment in history. Some call them "fanatics" or "extremists." It is these zealous followers of the Quran who march. It is the fanatical, committed, zealous, literal followers of Muhammad who wage any one of 50 shooting wars worldwide. It is the committed Muslims who systematically slaughter Christian or tribal groups throughout Africa and are gradually taking over the entire continent in an Islamic wave. It is the fanatical followers of the Quran who bomb, behead, murder, or honor-kill. It is the fanatical followers of Muhammad who take over mosque after mosque. It is the fanatical, committed Muslims who zealously spread the stoning and hanging of rape victims and homosexuals. It is the fanatical Muslims, those who take the Quran and the teachings of Muhammad very seriously and literally, who teach their young to kill and to become suicide bombers.

The hard, quantifiable fact is that the peaceful Muslims, the "silent majority," (IF they are indeed in the majority), are cowed and extraneous.

Communist Russia was comprised of Russians who just wanted to live in peace, yet the Russian Communists were responsible for the murder of about 20 million people. The peaceful majority were irrelevant. China's huge population was peaceful as well, but Chinese Communists managed to kill a staggering 70 million people.

The average Japanese individual prior to World War II was not a warmongering sadist. Yet, Japan murdered and slaughtered its way across South East Asia in an orgy of killing that included the systematic murder of 12 million Chinese civilians; most killed by sword, shovel, and bayonet.

And who can forget Rwanda, which collapsed into butchery? Could it not be said that the majority of Rwandans were "peace loving?"

History lessons are often incredibly simple and blunt, yet for all our powers of reason, we often miss the most basic and uncomplicated of points:

• Peace-loving Muslims have been made irrelevant by their silence.
  
  
• Peace-loving Muslims will become our enemy if they don't speak up, because like the aforementioned German aristocrat, they will awaken one day and find that the fanatics own them, and the end of their world will have begun.
  
  
• Peace-loving Germans, Japanese, Chinese, Russians, Rwandans, Serbs, Afghans, Iraqis, Palestinians, Somalis, Nigerians, Algerians, and many others have died because the peaceful majority did not speak up until it was too late.

As for us who watch it all unfold, we must pay attention to the only group that counts; the fanatics who threaten our way of life.

The Muslim Brotherhood

1. Shariah places great importance on an “Information War,” a “Civilization Jihad” against the USA, featuring political and psychological warfare via an international group of Islamists known as the Muslim Brotherhood (MB or Ikhwan).

2. The MB uses non-violent, stealthy techniques to establish relations with, influence and, wherever possible, penetrate a government’s circles in executive and legislative branches at the federal, state and local levels; the law enforcement communities; intelligence agencies; the military; penal institutions; the media; think tanks and policy groups; academic institutions; non-Muslim religious communities; and other elites; all to destroy a country and then establish shariah.

3. The MB is the leader of the Islamic Movement throughout the world; and is by far the strongest and most organized.

4. The MB’s “Civilization-Jihadist Process” is primarily conducted by groups posing as peaceable, “moderate” and law-abiding Muslim community organizations; while, behind-the-scenes, its mission is sedition in the furtherance of shariah’s supremacist agenda.

5. The Ikhwan’s objective is a kind of grand jihad to eliminate and destroy our Western civilization from within and “sabotaging” its miserable house by their hands and the hands of the believers so that it is eliminated and God’s (Allah's) religion is made victorious over all other religions.

6. They co-opt our leadership into believing a counterfactual understanding of Islam and the nature of the MB, and then coerce these leaders to enforce the MB narrative on their subordinates, with the end result being world-wide shariah, and the re-establishment of the global Islamic caliphate.

7. Nearly every major Muslim organization in the USA is actually controlled by the MB or a derivative organization.

8. Most Muslim-American groups of any prominence are factually hostile to the United States and its Constitution.

9. BH creed: “God (Allah) is our objective, the Koran is our law, the Prophet is our leader, jihad is our way, and death for the sake of Allah is the highest of our aspirations.” As evidenced from the Creed, the MB is the root of the majority of Islamic terrorist groups in the world today.

10. The Muslim Students Assn (MSN), is a front organization created by the Ikhwan with many college chapters throughout the USA; some serving as recruiting nodes for the MB and others for violent jihadist organizations. Initially, MSA chapters presented Islam in public as an acceptable alternative to other religions, never mentioning its revolutionary aspects. MSA members are becoming more aggressive in demands for accommodations and silencing all opposition.

11. The Muslim Brotherhood’s ‘ Phased Plan’

Phase One: Inject BH members into positions of leadership using discreet and secret methods.

Phase Two: Expand Islam’s image on the public scene, infiltrate Government, befriend religious institutions and senior scholars, gain public support and sympathy, and establish a shadow government (secret) within the Government.

Phase Three: Escalate conflict and confrontation with the rulers via mass media. Currently in progress.

Phase Four: Initiate open public confrontation with Government through political pressure. Begin aggressive implementation of Phase Three. Begin training in use of weapons in anticipation of zero-hour.

Phase Five: Seize power, establish the Islamic Nation under which all parties and Islamic groups are united.

12. The Implementation of Shariah by the Muslim Brotherhood. The Elbarasse archives* and close observation of the Brotherhood’s operations reveal the following as the most important of the techniques employed by the Ikhwan in America to achieve the seditious goals of its civilization jihad:

a. Expanding the Muslim presence by birth rate, immigration, and refusal to assimilate;

b. Occupying and expanding domination of physical spaces;

c. Ensuring the “Muslim Community” knows and follows MB doctrine;

d. Controlling the language we use in describing the enemy;

e. Ensuring we do not study their doctrine (shariah);

f. Co-opting key leadership;

g. Forcing compliance with shariah at local levels;

h. Fighting all counterterrorism efforts;

i. Subverting religious organizations;

j. Employing lawfare - the offensive use of lawsuits and threats of lawsuits;

k. Claiming victimization / demanding accommodations;

l. Condemning “slander” against Islam;

m. Subverting the U.S. education system, infiltrating and dominating U.S. Middle East studies programs;

m. Demanding the right to practice shariah in segregated Muslim enclaves;

o. Demanding recognition of shariah in non-Muslim spheres;

p. Confronting and denouncing Western society, laws, and traditions; and

q. Demanding that shariah replace Western law.

Note that many of the foregoing techniques entail, in one way or another, influencing and neutralizing the American Government at all levels.

*Elbarasse archives. In August of 2004, an alert Maryland Transportation Authority Police officer observed a woman wearing traditional Islamic garb videotaping the support structures of the Chesapeake Bay Bridge in Maryland, and conducted a traffic stop. The driver of the vehicle was identified as Ismail Elbarasse and detained on an outstanding material witness warrant issued in Chicago, Illinois in a Hamas case. The FBI’s Washington Field Office raided Elbarasse’s residence in Annandale, Virginia, and in the basement of his home, a hidden sub-basement was found. In the sub-basement, the FBI discovered the archives of the Muslim Brotherhood in North America. The documents confirmed what investigators and counterterrorism experts had previously suspected and contended about the myriad Muslim-American groups in the United States – namely, that nearly all of them are controlled by the MB and, therefore, as shariah dictates, are hostile to this country, its Constitution and freedoms. The documents make clear their sole objectives are to implement Islamic Law in America in furtherance of re-establishing the global caliphate.
