Op-ed:

Ramadan...A Fast with a Menu
By: Diane Sori and Craig Andresen / Right Side Patriots on American Political Radio

Author's note: every people needs a sense of humor and that includes muslims. And to that affect we offer you a snarky look at Ramadan...now don't come looking to chop off our heads.

 

Muslim husband to wife as dawn approaches: “I think I'll have to brush my teeth ONE more time.”
Muslim wife to husband: “So stop fasting already.”

Ramadan...not really a holiday per se as it's just the name of a month...a month that actually revolves around food or should we say a muslim's self-perceived lack thereof. Ramadan...a month where muslims are 'supposed' to remember the needy and poor by giving to charity...after all when one thinks of islamists one naturally thinks of charity now doesn't one. And aside from the garb most islamic men wear, they really don't have much in common with Mother Teresa.

Ramadan is also a month where muslims 'supposedly' get spiritually closer to allah. You know allah...the made up deity conceived via an epileptic seizure anointed by Muhammad to be islam's god...a god who commands death to those not following his ideological manifesto...sura and verse.

And when this 'supposed' month of reverence and piety ends...a month where fasting is a must-do...Eid then begins. Eid...a three day long “chow-down” consisting of eating a “huge dinner” with family and friends...which by the way is done every night while 'fasting' during Ramadan...and where the faithful give gifts of candy and money to their many many many...many many many many...children birthed by islam's allowed up to four wives. And while during Eid it's mandatory to dress up in one's party best... muslim women now happily take off their black burka 'garbage bags' and put on their dark gray or midnight blue ones...an islamic version of a month's worth of casual Fridays.

Ramadan...a month of spiritual rules and must-dos that include fasting from dawn to dusk...with food and drinking liquids being a definite no-no...with smoking and having sex not allowed as well...means the goats, sheep, and camels are very happy this month. And while those who are “ill, elderly, pregnant, breastfeeding, diabetic, menstruating, or traveling” are not required to fast, those who do fast have absolutely no idea what the word 'fasting' actually means.

Fasting to muslims during Ramadan means food and drinks are only allowed before dawn and after dusk...as in they can freely eat for roughly 12 hours a day...making the concept of fasting but a joke. It’s the difference between “I’m so busy at the office I’ll have to skip lunch”...and...”Hi, my name is Ghandi.”

Skipping lunch is not fasting for when one is allowed to pack on the proverbial “feed bag” for 12 hours a day one tends to be fatter at the end of Ramadan than one was when Ramadan began.

And all that extra weight must truly drive muslims crazy for fasting during Ramadan is 'supposedly' a spiritual cleansing...a cleansing to make one even more pious...so it's no wonder muslims are so crabby at the end of their fast. Being seriously stuffed to the gills by the end of the month...way more than they are during the rest of the year...makes it so much harder to make bombs that go boom and to pray with ones butt pointed up in the air lest CCR’s “Bad Moon Rising” replace the more traditional muslim call to prayers.

And with said fast comes the obligation that sinful behavior negates the fast and as such is 'verboten' during Ramadan...sinful behavior as in no fighting...except in self-defense that is. But with Ramadan each year actually showing a statistical increase in violence we guess that means it's still okay to blow something or someone up or to rape a camel or a goat that might be attacking you..after all skipping lunch does tend to cloud one's judgment...something allah will surely understand.

And then there's the sinful behavior of lying which also negates fasting's 'supposed' rewards. So the faithful must truly be in a quandary for if lying during Ramadan is also truly 'verbotin' how can it be that at the same time the qur'an commands taqiyya as a must do...24/7-365 taqiyya in fact...but thanks to granola bars and deli counter ham sandwiches we infidels are a hardy bunch not so easy to take down.

No lunch...no snacks...for 12 hours does get to one I guess.

Now as to the word Ramadan itself, which comes from the Arabic root word, “ar-Ramad,” notice that one cannot spell Ramadan, ar-Ramad, or for that matter “Muhammad” without including the word “mad”...the very word which tells everything one really needs to know regarding the true meaning of Ramadan.

And that alone might be why muslim women excused from obligatory fasting should they happen to be menstruating, brings to the fore just how mad a muslim woman with PMS must be.

Now to be exact, the month-long period of fasting for those muslims who don’t have the sniffles... which is only mandatory between dawn and dusk...sees fatwas being issued declaring that those millions upon millions of “refujihadis” who have migrated to places with such natural phenomenon as the midnight sun or polar night…should follow the timetable of Mecca.

That of course throws off the whole daylight savings time thing, as the thriving populations of muslims at both the North and South Poles must set their watches all the way back to the 7th century. That said, we have watched nearly every National Geographic documentary regarding the land of polar bears and the land of penguins, and have yet to notice even a single garbage bag wearing or self-detonating head down, ass up follower of the manifesto.

There is a natural reason for that, by the way, as no camels, goats or donkeys can be found at either pole, and penguins are too hard to hold onto. And those muslims who try to mate with polar bears quickly become polar poop...as the great white bears don’t observe Ramadan and thus...no fasting for them.

Now then on the off chance that any muslim would inexplicably find him or herself at either the North or South Pole during Ramadan, the more commonly accepted opinion is that in those areas they should follow the timetable of the closest country to them in which night can be distinguished from day.

This of course means that the best bet for "Eskimuslim" men or women is simply to claim they are traveling or menstruating, and head for the nearest all-you-can-eat barbarian buffet.

Beware however, should you be a muslim in a country where night and day are clearly marked, which would obviously include all your various Buttcrackistans, because a failure to fast during Ramadan may well be considered a crime.

Take Algeria as an example...back in October 2008 the court of Biskra condemned six people to four years in prison and heavy fines because one of those guys ate a lone 'booger'...and according to a 1968 law in Kuwait, the penalty for eating during Ramadan is roughly 100 Dinars and no more than a month in jail.

Over in the UAE however, eating while the sun shines during the month of fasting is considered a minor offense and the snacking muslim offender is usually sentenced to something like 150 hours of community service...which of course begs the question...what in the wide, wide world of islamists constitutes “community service?”

In the civilized world community service would include things like picking up litter in the park, washing graffiti off the sides of buildings or working at the local soup kitchen, but in the UN-civilized muslim world (and take note that you can’t spell uncivilized without U.N.), one can easily suppose that community service would include chores such as...

Working in bomb disposal...

 

Performing at the local islamic karaoke bar...

 

Or picking up trash along the highway.

                                                                                                                                                 Things are a bit different for muslims in Saudi Arabia however, and getting caught with a mouthful or sipping a tall cool glass of anything wet during Ramadan could very well get one flogged, sent off to prison or if the offending muslim happens to be from some other islamic nation...such as the North or South Pole...they could be deported as well.

In proper perspective the punishments for breaking the rules of anything but a strict fast during Ramadan seems pretty stiff stuff...so why not just get to the heart of the matter and send the well hydrated and/or anything but malnourished rogue jihadis to bed without their dinner?

Doesn’t that seem more appropriate?

ISIS, naturally, has warped the whole thing from a month long al-Jazera sponsored muslim mattress marathon sale into a time to launch attacks all over the world...which when one thinks about it is exactly the same thing ISIS does when it’s not Ramadan so who really can tell the difference?

So...islam being not really a religion has a holiday which is not a day but a month during which practitioners fast on Thanksgiving sized meals as long as it’s dark outside. During 'ramalamadingdong' muslims are supposed to engage in charity, which they rarely if ever do, and some are encouraged to step up the violence which they always seem to do anyway.

Frankly, there really doesn’t seem to be any difference between the month of Ramadan and the other eleven months on their calendar save for skipping lunch, but since muslims make a big who-ha over it...the least we could do is recognize the abject obliqueness of it all, and so in an effort to assist in the annual Ramadan celebration, we at RIGHT SIDE PATRIOTS have come up with a special sentiment for a new line of 'Happy Ramadan' greeting cards...

We Know You’re Islamic, and Therefore Barbaric,
and Hungry and Thirsty as well…
May Your Bombs Go Off Early,
Your Virgins be Burly,
And there be Nothing But Bacon in Hell.

Happy Ramadan to the 'so-called' religion of peace.

'Recognition of Reality'...Part Two
By: Diane Sori / The Patriot Factor / Right Side Patriots on American Political Radio

In part one of this two part series Recognition of Reality I discussed both political and some historical aspects concerning the ramifications of President Trump's rightful recognition of the undivided city of Jerusalem as the capital of the Jewish State of Israel. Here in part two I will offer some tangible proof based upon additional historical evidence and all-important archaeological finds...finds dated and scientifically verified through the time-proven process known as carbon dating. Such evidence should prove that the Jewish people have been the occupants of not just Jerusalem but of Israel itself centuries before a man hungry for power and wealth...a man named Muhammad...invented the political ideology masquerading as a religion that he called islam.

And since we all know...or should know by now...that a nation called Palestine never existed nor do the 'so-called' Palestinians...who are in reality but everyday, run-of-the-mill Arabs and no more...the Arabs claim to both Jerusalem and parts of Israel proper is based solely upon islamic doctrine and tenets, and religious zealots telling them so for in their own (un)holy qur'an no mention of Jerusalem or Muhammad ever visiting the city is made.

And while muslims claim Jerusalem is the islamic city of Al-Quds, there is no tangible record of any kind to prove that Muhammad was ever there. In fact, during his lifetime Jerusalem was not only a Christian city...with the church of St. Mary of Justinian upon the Temple Mount where the Al-Asqa mosque now sits...but Muhammad's armies did not even arrive in the city of Jerusalem...which had not a single mosque...until five years after his death.

So why is the Temple Mount holy to Christians besides an ancient church once sitting atop its ground...as per the Gospel of John, Jesus of Nazareth spoke out against the “money changers” on this very ground, and was crucified but a few hundred yards away. In fact, when Helena, who was Constantine's mother, was sent to Jerusalem she declared, “this is the spot.” And while no one disputes a centuries old Christian presence in Jerusalem, this article focuses on the Jewish presence in Jerusalem because it directly ties and gives proof to President Trump's declaring Jerusalem the capital of the Jewish State while still recognizing the holiness of Jerusalem to Christians as well...Christians who know that their holy sites will be honored, respected, and well protected with Jerusalem as Israel's capital.

So let's start with a brief bit more of documented history surrounding the holy sites that have fueled the fire in the Arab belly as to their claim to Jerusalem and areas within...if not the whole of...Israel itself.

And know that the Temple Mount is the real epicenter of contention. Now revered by Jews, Christians, and muslims...if you call muslim acts of protest, defilement, and terror revering...this sacred and holy ground sees Jewish tradition alone holding the Temple Mount...which has been paved over for 200 years...as the site where God gathered the dust of the Earth to create Adam, and where Abraham was to sacrifice his son Isaac until God turned his hand away. And the Temple Mount is where in the year 1000 B.C. Jewish King Solomon built the First Temple...the Temple that was torn down 400 years later by troops commanded by King Nebuchadnezzar of Babylonia, who upon its destruction sent the Jews into exile.

In the first century B.C. after the Jews returned to Jerusalem from exile, the Roman “client king” Herod refurbished and expanded the then simply built Second Temple turning into a grand compound of sorts. Built by the Jews upon the remains of the First Temple, the Second Temple stood on the Temple Mount until 70 A.D. when on the order of Roman Emperor Vespasian, General Titus ransacked and burned to the ground the Second Temple in what was an act of revenge against Jewish rebels. Today, what we know as the Western Wall is all that remains on site, however, The Arch of Titus in Rome depicts the procession following the plunder of the Temple by the Romans, even showing the great menorah they removed.

So how is it that muslims claim Jerusalem as their own... on what grounds do they claim Jerusalem holy to them as well...simply...they claim it based upon a dream that the Temple Mount is where their self-proclaimed now 'prophet' Muhammad ascended to the “Divine Presence” on the back of a winged horse in what's called the Night Journey. That is their claim...this is their proof...a dream of a winged horse taking a man of dubious character to “the farthest place”...to the “courtyard of allah”...in 632 A.D. And know that it was not until 80 years after Muhammad's death that muslim ruler Abd El-Wahd restored the Christian church that was on this site...restored it but changed it into a mosque...a mosque called Al-Asqa replete with its still recognizable shining golden dome.

A change muslims thought would signal the end of Christianity's claim to Jerusalem...a change to help push forward islam's political agenda when during the Crusades muslim General Saladin changed a historical islamic belief to bolster the muslim's claim to Jerusalem. Stating that instead of going to heaven or to allah's courtyard, Muhammad instead went to the Al-Aqsa mosque in Jerusalem...went there in a dream not in reality... something that must not be forgotten.

And while Jerusalem and the land that is now Israel saw a changing of ownership hands many times in the years since the Crusades, a Jewish presence always remained in Jerusalem...remained there from the very day King David conquered Jerusalem around 1000 B.C., buying the land from the Jebusites and giving it to his son Solomon to build the Temple. And when the early 20th century dawned...a time before the Palestine/Palestinian nonsense even started...muslims and the areas Jews were living together as neighbors in relative peace...peace to such a degree that islamic leaders freely admitted and readily acknowledged the Temple Mount's Jewish history.

In fact, in 1924, Jerusalem's Supreme Islamic Council published a tourist pamphlet about the Temple Mount, stating that the site's "identity with the site of Solomon's temple is beyond dispute. This, too. is the spot, according to the universal belief, on which David there built an altar unto the Lord." Also describing the underground chamber...called Solomon's stables...saying, "it dates probably as far back as the construction of Solomon's Temple,” apparently means not a thing to today's muslims who believe that once they lay claim to a piece of land, it belongs to islam forever.  
 

Guess what...Jerusalem did not belong to them then nor does it belong to them now for a dream is in no way tangible proof of ownership nor is it reality.

“The French build in Paris, the English build in London and Israel builds in Jerusalem. Should we tell Jews not to live in Jerusalem because it stirs things up?” - Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu

And while the Holy Bible tells of God's gift of Israel to the Jews, it is the tangibles that one can see, feel, and touch that gives indisputable proof of a Jewish presence on both the Temple Mount and in Israel itself many centuries before muslims showed up...many centuries before islam was invented...indisputable proof besides the Western Wall. And while I cannot include all the tangible evidence proving a continued Jewish presence in the disputed areas, I will include seven discoveries that I feel are but some of the proof positive that Jerusalem and Israel proper belongs solely to the Jews...and U.N. resolutions and whining muslims be damned.

1. Let's start with a 1927 earthquake that damaged the Al-Asqa mosque. During renovations beams make from cedar from Lebanon and cypress wood dating back to the 9th century B.C. were discovered...wood from the time of Jewish King Solomon who used the very same wood to build the first Jewish Temple. Also found was a Jewish ritual bath from the Second Temple and a mosaic thought to be a part of a Byzantine church...another piece of history showing a Christian not a muslim presence in Jerusalem as well. By the way, the mosque built upon the Temple Mount was originally called Bayt al-Muqaddas which literally means 'built on the Mikdash' (the Jewish Temple in Jerusalem).

2. Then there's the evidence muslims tried to destroy in 1996 during excavation so as to construct an auxiliary mosque...the El-Marwani mosque...supposedly built to house additional worshipers during Ramadan and on rainy days when “the faithful” could not gather in the open courtyard of the Al-Aqsa mosque itself. And this evidence includes bowl fragments from the time of the First Temple and Hasmonean coins from the dynasty that ruled Judah in the second century B.C. Want more evidence...how about a bronze coin dating to the Great Revolt against the Romans (66-70 A.D.) bearing the Hebrew words, “Freedom of Zion.” Now add in fragments of terra-cotta figurines with Hebrew letters from between the eighth and sixth centuries B.C. as well as another coin dating to the year 67 A.D. during the time of the Second Temple...a coin with the words “Jerusalem the Holy” written on it. 

And while all these artifacts found in the ground of the Temple Mount, plus so many more, have been carbon dated and verified to the time periods stated, it was a faithful replica of this specific 67 A.D. coin that was recently shown to the U.N. Security Council by Israel’s Ambassador Danny Danon during their recent hate fest and condemnation of President Trump. Holding the coin high for all to see, Danon thanked President Trump for his recognizing the truth about Jerusalem by saying that “we are grateful to the United States for its courageous decision,” but he also knew the fourteen Security Council members closed their eyes to the tangible truth he was holding in his hand.

3. Also, there is the pictured fragment of a seventh century B.C. papyrus offered as further proof that both Jerusalem and Israel...belongs to the Jews. Written in ancient Hebrew, the papyrus contains the earliest known non-biblical reference to Jerusalem. Carbon dated back to the time of the First Temple, this papyrus is part of a “concise” wine-shipping document. Saying, “From the king’s maidservant, from Na’arat, jars of wine, to Jerusalem,” it not only provides tangible proof of the existence of an organized administration within the Kingdom of Judah, but it also “underscores the centrality of Jerusalem as the economic capital of the kingdom in the second half of the seventh century B.C.,” as per Eitan Klein of the Israel Antiquities Authority. And it is an indisputable fact that Jerusalem was the capital of the Kingdom of Judah at the time...a time known as the First Temple period...and that the city of Na'arat appeared in the Book of Joshua (16:7).

4. Also of note is a ceramic pottery shard, roughly 6-by-6-inch in size unearthed in 2008 at the archaeological dig site of Hirbet Qeiyafa (the Elah Fortress), located 20 miles from Jerusalem in the Israeli town of Beit Shemesh. This shard contains five lines of faded characters that may be the oldest Hebrew inscription ever found. The 3,000-year-old text dates to the time of King David and is thought to be written in proto-Canaanite, a precursor to the Hebrew alphabet. While other people of that time also used proto-Canaanite characters, the inscription contains a three-letter verb meaning "to do" that existed only in Hebrew, as per Yossi Garfinkel, a Hebrew University archaeologist in charge of the dig. "That leads us to believe that this is Hebrew, and that this is the oldest Hebrew inscription that has been found.”

5. Inscriptions...writings in stone...hold key evidence that Jerusalem belonged then and belongs now to the Jews and has since Biblical times. Two inscriptions...referred to as the “warning stone” by Judaic scholars and respected archaeologists...prohibited the entry of nonbelievers to the Temple and were found on the Temple Mount... inscriptions the Roman Jewish scholar Josephus wrote about in the first century A.D. These inscriptions, written in ancient Greek, were on the dividing wall that surrounded the Second Temple and prevented non-Jews from accessing the interior of the Temple courtyard as well as warning them of the perils of entering the sacred Temple if they did so. In fact, the "warning stone” can be seen at the Istanbul Archaeological Museum, meaning the Turks know well the truth about who Jerusalem belongs to. By the way, similar warning inscriptions exist in Latin as well.

6. The land of Israel is awash in ancient inscriptions of many kinds...thousands of inscriptions garnered from excavated towns and cities...including from Jerusalem itself...inscriptions whose script changed and developed over time...but all being in recognizable Hebrew, and with many inscribed with the name of God as in YHWH... whether it be Hoshaiah meaning 'YHWH Saved;' Ahijah meaning 'YHWH is My Brother;' or Shemariah meaning 'YHWH Watched.' YHWH being the old Hebrew spelling of the word Yahweh, the name God revealed to Moses in four Hebrew consonants.

There are also inscriptions referring to the great kings David and Solomon as well as stamps and seals from official documents, many from tombs with names that are mentioned in the Old Testament. In fact, names of more than 1,200 Israelites from before the exile are known from these Hebrew inscriptions, and this in and of itself reflects the reality that a community of Jews lived in what is the land of Israel and in the city of Jerusalem from the days of ancient times forward...inhabited this ancient land who was minus references to anything islamic...to anything muslim...to anything Palestinian.

7. The Dead Sea Scrolls...written in ancient Hebrew, some in Aramaic, and a few later ones in ancient Greek, but none in Arabic...are the most famous archaeological find of the 20th century and include the oldest known biblical manuscripts, dating back some 2,000 years. Appearing to be the library of the Essenes, a Jewish sect, the scrolls were hidden deep within caves during the First Jewish Revolt (66-70 A.D.) as the Roman army advanced towards the rebelling Jews. 

Also showing how Christianity is so deeply rooted in Judaism and having been called the “evolutionary link” between the two great faiths even though there is no mention of Jesus in them, the scrolls span the years from about 200 B.C. to 68 A.D., and cover a range of topics from the last words of Moses' father Amram to never before seen psalms of David and Joseph to prophecies by Ezekiel, Jeremiah and Daniel not found in the Bible. But most importantly in regards to who has the right to Jerusalem, found written in a part of the 'Isaiah' scroll...Issaiah of the Old Testament...is the word 'Jerusalem.'

So while Jerusalem remains the world's most contested piece of real estate...and while the muslims continue to refuse to allow Jewish excavation of the Temple Mount for fear of islam being exposed as the fraud that it is...don't think for a minute that the U.N., the Arabs, and the Jew-haters do not know the truth about who is the rightful custodian of both Jerusalem and Israel itself as the proof has been there all along. And know this conflict remains not about facts and truth, but about politics, propaganda, and of course an agenda to wipe both Israel and the Jewish people off the map. And to all this I say...let them try for I guarantee Israel and the Jewish people will survive...not so sure about the Arabs though.

Op-ed:
The Reality of Reformation vs. Jihad
By: Diane Sori / The Patriot Factor / Right Side Patriots on American Political Radio

Last week islamic terrorism...as in jihad...visited Egypt and by now the 305 victims of the North Sinai Al-Rawdah mosque massacre have been laid to rest...laid to rest as Egypt continues to mourn their husbands and wives, mothers and fathers, sisters and brothers, and 27 of the youngest of the young...all murdered at the hands of some of their own.

“We’re in shock,” were the words of Cairo resident Mahmoud Ali...shock indeed.

The deadliest islamist attack of jihad in Egypt’s modern history comes replete with questions as to why and in whose name such carnage was committed. Reports out of Egypt have some saying that the attack was carried out because most of the worshipers at Friday's prayers were Sufi muslims and also because the mosque itself is believed by many to be the birthplace of Sheikh Eid al-Jariri, a Sufi cleric considered the founder of Sufism in the Sinai Peninsula. And with Sufism being a sub-group of islam that ISIS specifically targets for death because of their belief in islamic mysticism coupled with their belief in saints...saints in this case being someone 'marked' by special divine favor...and with saints equaling idolatry in the eyes of islamists...this has afforded ISIS their believed right to tag Sufis as being followers of the wrong type of islam and thus worthy of death.

Sadly, this sounds a bit like a certain group of the world's Christians who while in no way eschew violence still sees them vocally condemning or worse...ignoring the plight of their fellow Christians for not believing exactly as they or their church do. Just something to ponder over a bit I think.

And yet others are saying that the reason for the gun and grenade attack...where the words “allahu-akbar” were repeated over and over again...has more to do with the mosque's North Sinai location than with exactly who worshiped there. In fact, a local affiliate of ISIS...whose flag bearing the words “There is no God but Allah and Muhammad is his prophet” the 25 or so attackers carried and who surrounding the mosque blocking any possible escape from windows and doors...has been using this specific area for quite some time as a prime base for insurgency...for acts of jihad...that spread from the Suez Canal eastwards to the Gaza Strip and on to Israel proper...with Sinai being a security nightmare for Egypt ever since Egypt and Israel became 'partners in peace' if you will.

So while Egyptian warplanes carried out air strikes on targets believed linked to the attack...air strikes ordered by President Abdel Fattah al-Sisi himself...other Arab leaders are trying to play down or simply ignore the root cause of the jihadi's attack. And one such individual is Saudi Crown Prince Mohmmed bin Salman Abdulaziz Al Saud, who while vehemently condemning the physical aspects of the attack also said that, “The biggest threat from terrorism and extremism is not only killing innocent people and spreading hate, but tarnishing the reputation of our religion and distorting our belief...” as in the misplaced belief that islam is a religion of peace...a misplaced belief that ignores the fact that the islamists are using the very words of the qur'an and the teachings of islam itself to not just justify violence and terrorism but to execute and then excuse said actions as well.

And while the media downplays these acts of terrorism... these acts of jihad...as they occur more and more often... almost to the point of becoming routine...two questions remain as to how and even if these attacks can ever be stopped. And know that the answer to both questions is really quite simple for unless islam undergoes a true reformation these attacks will surely continue and the bodies...bodies of both we infidels and muslims alike...will keep piling up.

But how can islam be reformed if islam's religious leaders do not want reform...it would take away their choke hold over the muslim populace after all...and how can islam leave 7th century ideologies in the past and enter the 21st century present when it's muslims themselves who are afraid to speak up...let alone afraid to speak out.

And really how can islam be reformed when reformation means changing the actual core doctrine of islam from within not just toning down or prettying up the words in the qur'an, the Sira, and the Haddith, which the faithful would never allow what with qur'an 3:7 stating that, “No one knows the true interpretation except Allah...but those firm in knowledge say “we believe in it, all of it is from our Lord.” Changing those key words would be like asking Christians and Jews to change their core belief in the one true living God of us all.

So can you reform islam when islam as an entity is neither flexible nor open to reform...especially in the way Christianity and Judaism were reformed...simply you cannot...not in the classic sense of both rejection and modification of doctrine and practices. And why not... because while both Christianity and Judaism started out as a religion and then became a political force with reformation returning them to their religious roots, islam never was a religion per se, so reforming islam means islam must shed all its political ideologies and for the first time become a true religion...a religion where the truly devout retreat into personal piety...if islam is to survive in today's more secular world.

In other words, islam cannot be islam as it exists today. And besides, being that there is no central body of control in islam...no central religious hierarchy or authority to speak of that can issue such a dictate...like the Pope in Roman Catholicism can do...true reformation as we in the West consider reformation becomes highly unlikely.

And why is it unlikely...because while Christianity's reformation, as per religious scholars, led directly to the age of Enlightenment which then in turn morphed into secularism and eventually into Western-style democracy, reformation of islam's core tenets have almost no chance of happening because chaos and especially jihad is at the root of islam itself. Remember, Muhammad the nomad only became Muhammad the prophet after he introduced and entwined both jihad and politics into the basic tenets and doctrine of his creation called islam...violent tenets and doctrine which in and of themselves prove islam is not a religion but is the political ideology of a mad, greedy, and perverted man who hid his desire for wealth, power, and young girl children behind the guise of calling his personal wants a religion.

So even if Muhammad's violence encrusted ideology that is islam can be 'tempered down' so to speak, and the concept of religion as we know and accept it is removed from the equation, only then can the world's 1.8 billion muslims coexist with the civilized Western world, albeit with certain major changes being made...changes as opposed to reformation...changes that modify actions... changes that must take place post-haste so that islam is no longer perceived as it is rightfully perceived today...rightfully perceived as being nothing but a breeding ground for angry, perverted, and violent men whose goal is conquest through jihad, and who view women as chattel and who use children in the most vile of ways.

And that change...if it is ever to occur...must start with a united, cohesive, and oh so loud collective muslim voice demanding that extremist mullahs no longer hold sway over muslim countries...no longer hold sway over muslim peoples...even if that means some muslims must die in the process of seeking freedom from mullahs who think themselves a god. And know that with islam this change will not be easy nor will it be clean...as in sometimes blood must be shed by some to free the whole from the qur'an mandated call to jihad for what is what we call islamic terrorism but jihad in action...and what is jihad but the root cause of islam's woes. And if muslims do not condemn jihad then muslims condone jihad...if muslims do not fight back against jihad then muslims are but obedient slaves to the call for jihad.

And after condemnation those collective muslim voices must also publicly denounce, confront, and eliminate... yes eliminate by their own hand...jihad focused groups... groups like ISIS, al-Qaeda, Boko Haram, the February 17th Martyrs Brigade, Hamas, Hezbollah, the Muslim Brotherhood, etc...who are the main cause of their and islam's problems today. Remember, successful acts off jihad afford islamic terrorists...affords jihadis...the opportunity to commit such acts time and time again as terrorism in the name of jihad feeds upon the very conflict of conscience within the general non-violent muslim population itself. And while angry words of condemnation alone spoken against those committing such acts will not now or ever stop said acts of jihad...nor will sanctions or American intervention...muslims must accept as fact that only muslims fighting back against their own kind will...that is if islam in any form is to survive at all.

And sadly, even if some limited change does touch the ideology that is islam...does rebuke the concept of jihad... the bottom line is that acts of jihad will indeed continue to happen simply because the doctrine and tenets that define islam as it exists today continues to afford all muslims this common ground of jihad by which they can resist change. And this means that islam really cannot ever be reformed...not in the way we in the Western world see and rightfully demand islam be reformed...and without true reform...without even simple change...islam has no place nor any right to exist in the civilized world.

Op-ed:
Truths Not Spoken
By: Diane Sori /The Patriot Factor / Right Side Patriots on American Political Radio

“So when the sacred months have passed away, then slay the idolaters wherever you find them, and take them captive and besiege them and lie in wait for them in every ambush, then if they repent and keep up prayer and pay the poor-rate, leave their way free to them.” - Sura 9:5

As we all know acts of terrorism have greatly increased during this year's (un)holy month of Ramadan...in fact they have tripled since last year's Ramadan...and to date as I write this, there have been 152 islamic terror attacks in 28 countries, resulting in 1,389 people killed and 1,685 people injured during the past 27 days. And there were 40 attacks, 170 killed, 175 injured just in the week June 10th through June 16th alone. And while all these attacks were for the most part terror attacks, a handful were honor killings and/or sharia-mandated executions, but all were committed in the name of allah...in the name of islam.

Yet within the entirety of the same time frame cited, acts of death and terror committed by Christians and Jews in the name of 'so-called' islamaphobia come to a grand total of one.

And during these same few weeks rallies have been held all across America in opposition to both sharia law and against a certain hate-filled, islamic spewing, muslima propagandist speaking at a college graduation in New York City. And while these events have been long overdue and were attended by thousands they either went under-reported, if reported on at all, or were reported with a strictly leftist slant alone by a media who still tries to perpetrate the myth that islam is a religion of peace, that sharia law is not dangerous, and that 'We the People' are the victims of self-perpetrated anti-muslim bias or what has come to be commonly known as islamaphobia...as in the actual rightful fear of all things muslim.

But if truth be told that fear is more than justified for the fact is that islam... the political ideology that hides behind the guise of calling itself a religion...is to be feared and that those who follow and adhere to said ideology...as in muslims...we must be on our guard against but not only because of the numbers I stated above but for these numbers as well...there are estimated to be 1.6 billion muslims worldwide with between 15 to 25 percent being what we call extremists, and that translates into between 180 million to 300 million people who wish us all dead.

And yet numbers alone never tell the whole story, but numbers are the culmination of the driving force behind all the bloodshed committed in the name of islam... committed in the name of allah...committed as per the very words mandated by the qur'an itself.

The qur'an, the most (un)holy of all books, is truly what is behind all the hate, for blood lust and death is the basis of all its tenets and teachings. And know that the qur'an is actually nothing but a guidebook...an instruction manual of sorts...in the whys and hows to kill all who do not believe.

"But as for those who disbelieve, garments of fire will be cut out for them, boiling fluid will be poured down their heads. Whereby that which is in their bellies, and their skins too, will be melted; And for them are hooked rods of iron. Whenever, in their anguish, they would go forth from thence they are driven back therein and (it is said unto them): Taste the doom of burning." - Sura 22:19 to 22

And those who carry out what is the qur'an's dutiful call to jihad...a call in allah's name...are islam's true believers for they and they alone are following the guidebook's commands of devout piety down to every 't' crossed and every 'i' dotted. And those who truly believe are the very muslims we rightfully fear most for it is they who are obeying and acting upon muhammad's every word. And yet while not all muslims physically 'pick up the sword' all muslims, save but a few, are just as fervent in their desire to spill the blood of we non-believers, because if they were not they would say the words and take the actions needed to call to task those who swords drip with our infidel blood. Cowards all...for if one does not condemn they condone.

And those of us who do not see these truths are those of us who have become not just blind to the physical horrors that now surround us, but who have surrendered their minds to the media generated leftist agenda of complacency, more commonly known as political correctness.

And political correctness dictates that we must not question the actions of others...that we must not question their motives. We must accept as right what we know to be wrong or else we become the hate-mongers and the hate-mongers become the victims.

“Fight those who do not believe in Allah or in the Last Day and who do not consider unlawful what Allah and His Messenger have made unlawful and who do not adopt the religion of truth from those who were given the Scripture – [fight] until they give the jizyah willingly while they are humbled. – Sura 9:29

And in today's world...whether the politically correct sorts like it or not...the true hate-mongers come in the guise of islamic terrorists...for the islamic terrorist's beliefs and ways are such that have been historically and factually proven to be the beliefs and ways as laid down in the qur'an. And their hate of the unbeliever stands as an unquestionable testament to the entirety of islam's long held tenets of barbarism, savagery, and brutality. And this can be seen in the islamic terrorist's embrace of islam's cruel past as the basis for their current reality instead of their accepting the civilized norms of the here and now or even their looking forward to the future, because to the islamic terrorist the future is nothing but the past revisited to be repeated again.

And the ultimate goal of today's islamic terrorist remains the same as it was for muhammad over 1400 years ago...to make islam above the ways of the 'people of the book'...as in we Christians and Jews...and to use the qur'an words as the previously stated guidebook by which to control all others even if it means the tool by which to do so is the sword...or the bomb, or the gun, or the van...improvisations used in their quest to serve allah well.

"I will cast terror into the hearts of those who disbelieve. Therefore strike off their heads and strike off every fingertip of them." - Sura 8:12

By now most of us know that the (un)holy qur'an contains at least 109 verses that calls for its followers to "go to war" with all nonbelievers for the sole purpose of pushing forward islamic rule. But what many do not know is that sharia law is the vessel by which islamic rule intends to reign no matter that sharia law counters every moral, value, and ideal that we called infidels believe in and hold dear as well as allowing for no separation between state and mosque or.state and religion.

Simply stated, sharia is the definitive and unquestioning law of islam...law adjudicated without mercy...and law especially brutal towards women who islam views as second class citizens...who islam views as mere chattel for men to do with what they please. Taken directly from the words of muhammad...from the hadith, from actions called sunnah, and of course from the qur'an itself... sharia law is an all-encompassing and highly intrusive and invasive legal system whose rules of conduct regulates and controls both public and private behavior as well as the private beliefs and thoughts of its followers to such a degree that if a muslim dares to criticize muhammad or even question any of the teachings of the qur'an it can, and usually does, result in one losing one's head.

"Fighting is prescribed for you, and ye dislike it. But it is possible that ye dislike a thing which is good for you, and that ye love a thing which is bad for you. But Allah knoweth, and ye know not." - Sura 2:216

And as per the qur'an violence can be virtuous, but violence is just one way muslims infiltrate our Western countries and societies along with our corresponding political systems. But infiltration by violence really does not need to be for all the infiltrators have to do is take their to time to grow into population numbers so large and strong that muslims will become their host county's majority, and do so by the simple act of breeding...breeding in such numbers that allow them at some point to be a loud enough voice that they can turn governmental bodies to their advantage or if there numbers are great enough they can topple a host country's government by the ballot box alone.

"The punishment of those who wage war against Allah and His messenger and strive to make mischief in the land is only this, that they should be murdered or crucified or their hands and their feet should be cut off on opposite sides or they should be imprisoned; this shall be as a disgrace for them in this world, and in the hereafter they shall have a grievous chastisement" - Sura 5:33

And so as the continuing rise of terrorism and violence engulfs the world, the time has come for we of the civilized nations to accept as fact that all this hate...all this violence...must be laid at the feet of islam. And it also must be accepted as fact that due to islam's guidebook...the qur'an...the afore mentioned hate-filled manual whose instructions to kill are totally incompatible with Western values and norms... that there must never be an acceptance of or an acquiescing to a made-up god by those who believe in the one true living God of we Christians and Jews.

So to those who say that islam is one of the world's three great monotheistic religions because of its commonality in its belief in one god does not make it so for islam's god...allah...is not now nor will it ever be our God. And islam's melding of politics, society, and state into one all-encompassing, savagely brutal system of not just terror but as an unyielding way of life takes away islam's right to call itself a religion.

And if we can accept as truth that islam is not a religion...for no true religion owes obedience to blood lust over true spiritual matters...than maybe this will allow us to admit that we are at war with the entirety of islam, and that the enemy and evil of submission that is islam exists solely to serve islam itself. And only then can we successfully battle against islam with tangible actions taken...actions that will send islam back to the seventh century from which it came.
