| Man Haron Monis, a.k.a. Sheikh Haron |
Rest assured, according to western "experts" on Islam such as Australian Prime Minister Tony Abbott: The latest terrorist attack that recently took place in a Sydney, Australia chocolate cafe had nothing to do with Islam.
That attack resulted in the death of two hostages and the gunman who was identified as Man Haron Monis or Sheikh Haron who police described as a "self-styled" Muslim cleric.
Though the "self-styled" cleric mouthed all the appropriate Koranic verses while the police tried to persuade him to release 17 hostages, he was appropriately described by the self-styled Islamic experts as just another radicalized nutcase.
Abbott attempted to douse the flames of Islamic fundamentalism by claiming that the Sheikh had a "long history of violent crime, infatuation with extremism and mental instability."
Furthermore, Abbott stuck to the West's politically correct script on Islam by claiming that the Sheikh's motives have yet to be discerned, even though the Sheikh displayed an Islamic flag in the cafe's window during the standoff. Said Abbott: "Understandably, there is a lot of speculation, but it will take time to clarify exactly what happened ... and why."
Abbott's sophistry works on people who are ignorant of Islam and its historically violent nature. But it doesn't work on those who are familiar with that religion and its command to spread Islam by the sword.
Remember Nidal Hasan? He was a U.S. Army Major who murdered 13 people and wounded 30 others at Ford Hood, Texas on November 5, 2009. Though Hasan was a Muslim who was devoted to the teachings of fire-breathing Imam Anwar al-Awlaki and had frequently boasted of his commitment to jihad, his atrocity was dismissed as "workplace" violence that had nothing to do with Islam.
Then there was the "lone-wolf" Islamic gunman named Michael Zehaf-Bibeau who struck in Ottawa back in October as well as Alton Nolen, the "lone-wolf" Muslim who hacked the head off of a former co-worker at an Oklahoma food-processing plant.
And then there was Zale Thompson, another Muslim who attacked four New York City cops with an ax before the police shot him dead.
As with Sheikh Haron and Major Hasan, Zehaf-Bibeau, Nolen and Thompson were also appropriately described as having "mental" issues.
Said Bibeau's mother Susan: "For me, he was an unhappy person at odds with the world. In his final days, I would add, mentally unbalanced. Religion and Islam was his way of trying to make sense of the world. I don’t think he succeeded. It did not bring him peace. For me, mental illness is at the center of this tragedy."
It's amazing that of all the world's religions, Islam seems to attract the largest number of emotionally unstable people.
And the reason for that is rather obvious to all except those who live in a world of fantasy: Islam is a religion that promotes violence and murder as its essential proselytizing tools.
If you don't believe that, then read this: Quran (9:73) - "O Prophet! strive hard against the unbelievers and the hypocrites and be unyielding to them; and their abode is hell, and evil is the destination."
Or, you can read this: Quran (8:67) - "It is not for a Prophet that he should have prisoners of war until he had made a great slaughter in the land..."
Or, this from the Hadith: Ibn Ishaq/Hisham 484: - "Allah said, 'A prophet must slaughter before collecting captives. A slaughtered enemy is driven from the land. Muhammad, you craved the desires of this world, its goods and the ransom captives would bring. But Allah desires killing them to manifest the religion.'"
Does that sound like a "Religion of Peace"? Rather, it's a religion of violence. And when those who take the Koran and Hadith seriously, bad things are likely to happen, lone wolves or not.
