It Is Time For A Niemolleresque Redux – Dr. Mike Spaulding

‘I had to tell him, “Dear brother, fellow man, Jew, before you say anything, I say to you: I acknowledge my guilt and beg you to forgive me and my people for this sin.'”

Martin Niemoller sermon in Erlangen, Germany 1946

Poetry often succinctly captures a moment of time, sometimes an era. The words of a poet can move the heart in ways other literature cannot. Great poets are remembered, and their writing spoken of and written about for long years, decades and centuries afterward. Sometimes poetry is a commentary on culture, pointing out deficiencies and moral failures. Are we at that place where moral failures are dismissed, and the courage of our convictions have withered before the heat of adversity?

Philosopher George Santayana famously said, “Those who cannot remember the past are doomed to repeat it.” It is nearly universally understood today that Santayana’s statement was meant to be a warning to all freedom loving people that we must never allow the moral failures and outrageous behaviors of treasonous, treacherous, evil people to be repeated in our time. Since we lived through atrocities of the past, it is our duty to not allow the same atrocities to overtake us again. Yet that is exactly where we find ourselves today. Let me explain.

You Can Never Awaken a Man Who Is Pretending to be Asleep by Bill Warner

September 15, 2012

The White House and media response to the events in the US embassies in Egypt and Libya can be characterized by the fact they speak like they have never seen Sharia mob justice before in their lives. Or, at least, you would think that from the knowledge and wisdom they display in their analysis.

For the last 11 years since 9/11, we have watched the same events unroll in the Islamic world and the same response come from our so-called leaders in the government, media, schools and the pulpits. The establishment view: Those Muslims are extremists, not real Muslims. We should be careful not to offend the religion of peace. When Muslims are offended by movies, Koran burnings and Mohammed cartoons, it is our fault.

The clue phone is ringing, pick it up. Here are the clues:

The murder of intellectuals and artists who criticize Mohammed is Sunna. Sunna is the perfect example of Mohammed’s life. When Mohammed captured Mecca, he first prayed, then he destroyed all religious art and then he issued death warrants for the artists and intellectuals who had opposed him. There are only two new facts in the Koran, a derivative work. The first new fact is that Mohammed is the prophet of Allah, and the second new truth is that if you don’t believe he is prophet of Allah, you can be killed.

Violence is what brings Islam success. In Mohammed’s life, he preached the religion of Islam for 13 years and garnered 150 new followers. When he went to Medina and became a politician and a warlord, when he died every Arab was a Muslim. Jihad violence was what made Islam successful. If Mohammed practice jihad, Muslims must use the technique of jihad.

Hello establishment experts, the black flag is not an Al Qaeda flag. The black flag with the Shahada, “There is no god, but Allah and Mohammed is his prophet” and the swords goes back to the Golden Age of Islam in Baghdad in the 9th century. (The establishment professors never tell you about this jihad aspect of the Islamic Golden Age.) This jihad flag is ancient.

Current news is that Ambassador Stevens was raped before he was killed. If so, then this is pure jihad doctrine. The rules for rape of captured Kafirs (unbelievers) are Sunna. At the conquest of the Jews in Khaybar, the Hadith are explicit that captured Kafirs can be raped.

The mob is a manifestation of the Sharia and the umma (the Islamic community). Notice that when a fatwa is issued, such as the famous fatwa by Khomeini against Salmon Rushdie for his artistic work The Satanic Verses, the fatwa is not to be fulfilled by the Islamic police. No, the murder is to be carried by any member of the umma. This is vigilante justice, Sharia justice, mob justice. Pay attention to how often Muslims riot to make political gain.

The shortest hadith is: war is deceit. So here come all of the “good” Muslims to explain how the murder and riots are not real Islam. And they are so upset about what Arabs are doing at the US embassies. But, they still can tell us that Islam is the religion of peace, without a single trace of irony.

The idea that we should not blaspheme Islam, Mohammed or Allah is pure Sharia and the position of the OIC (Organization of Islamic Cooperation). It seems that none of the establishment experts have the foggiest idea of what Sharia blasphemy entails. Not believing that Mohammed is the prophet of Allah, that a woman is a second class citizen, that jihad is part of Islam is all blasphemy. Critical thought is blasphemy. The Golden Rule is blasphemy. Any well-founded religion can survive blasphemy, except Islam, and that is the reason it is forbidden. But the worst part of this travesty is the refrain from Obama and Hillary that we should subvert our freedom of speech to the demands of the Sharia. The Sharia is Allah’s law and our Constitution is a document of ignorance to be removed from the world. So say the imams and Obama and Hillary.

And now for the last tired response from the apologists: those violent people are an extremist fringe. NO! The mobs are main-line Islam.

You can awaken a man who is asleep, but you will never awaken a man who is pretending to be asleep. That is the reason that we find our experts in the government, media, education and the pulpits to be such dhimmis. They have refused to learn a single thing about Islamic doctrine and history since 9/11. But, cheer up! When the dhimmis write about the beauty of Islam and how the Kafirs are wrong, read the comments. You will find that the common man knows far, far more about Islam than the experts. The higher you go, the less they know.

Answering Islam

I recently received an email from a Muslim living in Ohio.  She was aghast at the breaking news of the US Government’s sponsorship of STD testing on unsuspecting Guatemalans in the 1940’s.  Her shock took the form of the statements and questions below:

I couldn’t believe my ears hearing this!!!! so is THIS an act of terrorism or what??? or if it’s only on “regular white American people” THEN and only THEN we would call it “TERRORISM”???? How I would appreciate answers from White American Friends who were really concerned about Sept 11, AND on any attack on white Americans only???

This is not the first correspondence I have had with this Muslim woman.  Her previously stated positions include the position that 9-11 was an US Government sponsored plot and that Islamic terrorism is the result of evil US foreign policies concerning Islamic nations and Israel.  Aside from her obvious belief in the inherent racism of white Americans, there are many “holes” in her confused argument.  My response to her request for a response is shown below.

“I do not fit the stated qualifications for responding since you asked for responses from “White American Friends who were really concerned about Sept 11, AND on any attack on white Americans only???”  I’m concerned about acts of terrorism committed against any and all people. My response to this act in the 1940’s by US Government sponsored doctors is that it is horrible and evil.  Did you hear on the clip that this activity was conducted with the full knowledge and cooperation of the Guatemalan government?  Very, very sad.  It is a very good reminder of the evil that governments in general can do and what has and continues to happen in many Muslim/Arab lands dominated by Islam. History is replete with examples of Islamic barbarism.

Take for example Egypt.  Perhaps the government of Egypt would like to apologize for their mass murder of thousands of Copts and the destruction of their churches over the last few centuries?  See one recent article here – http://www.csmonitor.com/World/Middle-East/2010/0402/In-Egypt-Christians-celebrate-Easter-Sunday-under-shadow-of-Christmas-attacks  I don’t expect to hear any apologies from Egypt.

Perhaps Saudi Arabia would like to open its country up to the building of churches and synagogues as a way to show that it is interested in tolerance and the rights of people to worship in the way they see fit instead of continuing to fund and teach Wahhabi Islam, which is the most radical, jihadist form of Islam?  Perhaps Iraq can apologize to the Kurds and Iran to its many citizens that it has tortured and imprisoned for no other reason than they held a different political view than the Islamic Clerics?  Perhaps the nations surrounding Israel would like to apologize for lying for decades about the Palestinians and their history?  Perhaps Hezbollah and Hamas would like to apologize for the destruction they have brought on Lebanon?  Perhaps Syria would like to apologize for its financing of murderous Islamic jihadists?  I don’t expect to ever hear any apologies from any of these Islamists for the atrocities they have and continue to commit against innocent people.

Perhaps the Islamists in Indonesia, Malaysia, and India would like to apologize for murdering their own citizens, burning churches to the ground and intimidating governments into submission.  See Voice of the Martyr site for hundreds of articles – http://www.persecution.com/public/restrictednations.aspx?clickfrom=bWFpbl9tZW51  Perhaps the Islamists in England would like to apologize for bombing London’s subways and the radical Islamists who blew up the train in Madrid, Spain would apologize to the families who lost loved ones?  Perhaps Libya would like to apologize for welcoming as a hero the convicted murderer of hundreds on the airplane over Scotland.  I don’t expect to hear any apologies from these Islamists.

Your example of evil perpetrated against innocent Guatemalans by the US Government in no way justifies what radical Islam perpetrates globally today.  What the US did was evil and should be denounced as such.  Evil is evil regardless of who commits it.  Murdering innocent people and excusing that as vengeance or revenge for what a government did or has done is wrong.  I am willing to say that many actions of the US government are evil.  Are you willing to do the same about Egypt?  Are you willing to break with the Islamic story-line and code of silence that all Islamic violence is in retaliation and is therefore justified?  

Please note that the evil behavior of our government is done without Christian sanction.  I do not support many of the things my government does and I am very vocal about this.  I have called past US Presidents evil by name.  I state clearly where our President is wrong and offer the Christian position in contrast.  The same cannot be said about Muslims living in Islamic controlled nations.  Do you take the time to evaluate your Islamic Clerics and denounce their anti-American rants and demagoguery?  What nation besides America would allow its sworn enemies to immigrate here and then speak hate against the very nation that give them liberty untold of in the lands they came from? 

I also want to point out that your sensationalism (multiple exclamation points, capital letters for emphasis and multiple question marks) masks a weak/straw man argument.  You are suggesting that white Americans are only concerned about other white Americans and evil committed against other ethnicities is ignored.  I find that argument false, ridiculous, and transparent.  It is racist at its core and is an affront against Americans of all ethnicities. You’re not listening to Americans if you think that only white Americans are insulted by the continued nonsense emanating from the Islamists and our own leftist media, social, and cultural elites.  

The real issue here is your transparent attempt to justifying the evil behavior of Islamists around the world by pointing out the evils of America.  When people commit crimes against other people they are denounced in America.  Where is the denouncement of radical Islam in Egypt, Iran, Syria, Saudi Arabia, Yemen, Jordan, and Iraq?  The fact is the exact opposite is true – Islamic governments condone and applaud evil behavior in the name of Islam.  Your moral indignation over something that you’ve come across from nearly 70 years ago hardly seems sincere.  It appears more like a “See, there are things you Americans do too.”  This is an attempt to justify the unjustifiable behavior of radical Islamists.

You will never convince me of the good of Islam.  The evidence of the evil of Islam is in the newspapers everyday.  I believe there are many Muslims who do not agree with the Islamists who commit these evil deeds.  Unfortunately they are afraid to speak out against the crimes Islamists commit in the name of Allah.  Islam is inherently evil and as a Christian I understand that the positions Islam advocates and teaches are in direct contradiction to Christian theism.  Jesus either is or He is not the Son of God and Savior of the world.  There is no middle ground on that point.  Israel either is or isn’t God’s chosen people whom He will redeem upon His return.  There is no middle ground on that point either.  The Bible either is or it is not the Word of God.  Islamists vehemently disagree with Christians on all these points.  Islam teaches as you well know that God is One, he does not have a son, Jesus was only a prophet and not the greatest or final prophet, the Bible has been hopelessly corrupted, and Jews and Christians are worthy only of being Kafirs or killed, whichever is more convenient.  This last point marks a very important distinct between Christianity and Islam – as a Christian I don’t want to kill you for having a different religion.  The same cannot be said about Islamists.

Americans make a serious error in judgment when they view Islam as only a religion.  Islam is much more political than it is religious.  Sharia for example is presented as Islamic religion but it is actually Islamic jurisprudence and political espionage masquerading under the veil of religion so as to be accepted by unsuspecting infidels.  I know that to truly understand Islam, Americans need to read and study the Koran, the Sira, and the Hadith.  This Islamic trilogy defines Islam as a political ideology more than a religion, because they are based on the life and sayings of Mohammed.  I have and continue to study Islam so as to be prepared to defend Christianity against this attack and my nation from further infiltration politically by Islamists.

Only Jesus Christ saves people from their sins.  I show you no love by acting as if your belief in Allah and Islam makes no difference to me.  It makes a great deal of difference to me.  You must place your faith in Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins or you will leave this earth separated from God forever.  That is the teaching of the Bible.  I am not free to change that. You are free to believe otherwise.

Finally, I am not presenting this response in an argumentative fashion.  That is one of the short comings of electronic correspondence.  I have attempted here to show you the futility of pointing out an evil and suggesting that no one has the right to criticize another on the basis that everyone commits evil in somebody’s opinion.  Your argument has merely pointed to a fact that Christians advocate – namely, the standard of right and wrong cannot reside in our own minds but is instead found in God’s standards.  When our behavior is different from God’s standards then we have every right to criticize and condemn.  I do not intend to carry on a running debate about the many manifestations of evil in the world and who is to blame for the many problems facing America today.  I have responded to your request as honestly and openly as possible.  I wish the grace of God to enlighten your mind to see the truth of Jesus Christ.”
