Terry Jones: resisting the massive grip of ideology

Why did pastor Terry Jones want to burn the Koran?

Ten Reasons to Burn a Koran by Terry Jones
On 9/11/10 we are burning Korans to raise awareness and warn. In a sense it is neither an act of love nor of hate. We see, as we state in the Ten Reasons below, that Islam is a danger. We are using this act to warn about the teaching and ideology of Islam, which we do hate as it is hateful. We do not hate any people, however. We love, as God loves, all the people in the world and we want them to come to a knowledge of the truth. To warn of danger and harm is a loving act. God is love and truth. If you know the truth it can set you free. The world is in bondage to the massive grip of the lies of Islam. These are ...

Five: Mohammad's life and message cannot be respected. The first Meccan period of his leadership seems to have been religiously motivated and a search for the truth. But in the second Medina period he was "corrupted by power and worldly ambitions." (Ibn Warraq) These are characteristics that God hates. They also led to political assassinations and massacres which continue to be carried out on a regular basis by his followers today.

Six: Islamic Law is totalitarian in nature. There is no separation of church and state. It is irrational. It is supposedly immutable and cannot be changed. It must be accepted without criticism. It has many similarities to Nazism, Communism and Fascism. It is not compatible with Western Civilization.*

Seven: Islam is not compatible with democracy and human rights. The notion of a moral individual capable of making decisions and taking responsibility for them does not exist in Islam. The attitude towards women in Islam as inferior possessions of men has led to countless cases of mistreatment and abuse for which Moslem men receive little or no punishment, and in many cases are encouraged to commit such acts, and are even praised for them. This is a direct fruit of the teachings of the Koran.

Eight: A Muslim does not have the right to change his religion. Apostasy is punishable by death.
Sounds reasonable to me. Good on him for exposing Islam. He repeats such views in this video ...


And how does the world react? As Lawrence Auster puts it ...

The entirety of organized humanity comes crashing down on Terry Jones

Andrew Bolt summarises the reaction:
AP WON’T DISTRIBUTE IMAGES, AUDIO…

FOX NEWS WON’T COVER, EITHER..

Church website shut down…

FBI PAYS PASTOR A VISIT…

Obama says call it off…

Then sends ‘best wishes’ to Muslims worldwide…

Vatican: ‘Outrageous’…

NYPD: ‘Dangerous’…

Holder: ‘Idiotic’…

Clinton: ‘Disgraceful’…

Palin: ‘Unnecessary provocation’…

FBI: Retaliation ‘Likely’…

INTERPOL issues global alert…
Quite a reaction to a pastor with a church of 50 people. What does it say about the world today?

- the entire media, intellectual and political class portrays a false image of Islam, easily exposed by a guy with a box of matches.

- the entire media, intellectual and political class will abandon their principles to suppress knowledge: maintaining a facade of wisdom, at the expense of knowledge and long-term safety.

- every do-gooding man and his dog will abandon their principles to suppress anyone who stirs conflict: keeping-the-peace at the expense of knowledge and long-term safety.

- the peacefulness of every Muslim community worldwide, from Afghanistan to America, depends on us showing deference to a creed which commands violent submission to Islamic law.

File under: knowledge and future safety is in bondage to the massive grip of the brain-dead lies of the ideology of tolerance.

But on the bright side ...
German Chancellor Angela Merkel’s speech Wednesday at a ceremony honoring Danish cartoonist Kurt Westergaard ...

The 75-year-old Mr. Westergaard has been living under police protection for the past five years for drawing Muhammad with a bomb-shaped turban ...

“It is irrelevant whether we find his caricatures tasteless or not, whether we think they are necessary or helpful, or not,” the Chancellor said. “Is he allowed to do that? Yes, he is.” ...

tolerance is its own grave digger if it doesn’t protect itself against intolerance.”

  1. Hilaly is cracking jokes again ...

    Sydney-based Muslim cleric Sheik Taj Al Hilaly has a message for the pastor ...

    "If he burns the Koran, we will not burn the Bible because our religion teaches us respect," the sheik told tens of thousands of people who gathered at a Lakemba mosque to mark the end of Ramadan...

    "Who is this guy?" he said.

    "He's got a small congregation, apparently, and he is a nut case.

    "Why has he got an international voice?"


    He's got an international voice because he speaks the truth in a world of lies.
