Hate Speech?
(Not According to CAIR)

(CAIR="Comitée for American-Islamic Relations")

“Muslims are the vilest of animals…”
“Show mercy to one another, but be ruthless to Muslims”
“How perverse are Muslims!”
“Strike off the heads of Muslims, as well as their fingertips”
“Fight those Muslims who are near to you”
“Muslim mischief makers should be murdered or crucified”

Hate speech? Incitement to violence? Sounds like it to us, but a
knowledgeable Muslim would have to disagree.

Why would Muslims not consider this to be hate speech? How is it
that we can post these quotes with full certainty that CAIR won't be
contacting the media (or Congress) with wild-eyed accusations of
Islamophobia?

Well, for one thing, we don’t actually agree with any of these
statements, of course. But the real reason is that Muslims
themselves honestly believe these quotes to be the literal, eternal
word of Allah. In fact, CAIR is promoting this hate speech on their
own website! It is actively propagating the very literature that
contains these comments, even while sanctimoniously claiming that it
is working against hate and violence.

But... isn't CAIR a Muslim organization? What’s the catch?

Well, if you haven’t guessed it already, these are quotes from the
Qur’an in which we've replaced the word ‘Christian’, ‘Jew’ or
‘unbeliever’ with the word ‘Muslim.’

Here is how they actually appear in the literature that groups like
CAIR are pushing:

Sura (8:55) - Surely the vilest of animals in Allah's sight are
those who disbelieve

Sura (48:29) - Muhammad is the messenger of Allah. And those with
him are hard (ruthless) against the disbelievers and merciful among
themselves

Sura (9:30) - And the Jews say: Ezra is the son of Allah, and the
Christians say: The Messiah is the son of Allah... Allah (Himself)
fights against them. How perverse are they!

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

Sura (9:123) - O you who believe! Fight those of the unbelievers
who are near to you and let them find in you hardness

Sura (5:33) - 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

These verses come from five different places in the Qur’an. There
are dozens of others scattered throughout that advocate violence in
open-ended fashion. There are hundreds more that speak of hatred and
hell toward Christians, Jews, and other non-believers. (Is it any
wonder that the Muslim world is split largely between those who
tacitly support Islamic terror and those who do nothing about it?)

Very few of these verses are bound by historical context within the
text of the Qur’an, and any appeal to external sources for mitigation
would apply also to the tiny handful of verses that are used
(disingenuously) to promote Islam as being loving and tolerant. More
importantly, there are far more violent verses than ones of
tolerance, and most were 'revealed' later, thus abrogating the
handful of earlier ones.

And yet, this is the book that CAIR wants people to read! This is
what CAIR considers to be holy text, even to the extent that an exact
replica of the Qur’an (grammatical errors and all) is said to be on a
table in heaven guarded by angels.

So, the next time you hear CAIR smugly accusing its critics of "hate
speech," just remember what the organization's agenda really is:

They don’t mind hate speech directed at non-Muslims. In fact,
they promote it.

They don't mind religious minorities being denied rights that
Muslims have in Muslims societies. In fact, they plug fatwas and
religious literature that encourage discrimination.

They don't even mind the vast amount of terrorism in the name of
Islam. In fact, they refuse to acknowledge and denounce more than
99% of it, including the on-going genocide against black Africans by
Arabs.

The language of civil rights and tolerance is merely a tool of
convenience for prominent Muslim organizations in the West to advance
the cause of Islamic supremacy. A true civil rights organization,
however, is concerned about rights for all people, regardless of race
or religion, and this is something that Islam has never been able to
produce... and probably never will...

At least according to our Qur’an!
