Islam and Taqiyya

Hassan Nasrallah

Hassan Nasrallah, the Secretary General and spiritual leader of the terrorist group Hezbollah, demonstrated the art of Taqiyya recently when he presented a passionate speech that was intended to convince ignorant dhimmis that Islam is all about peace and not about violence.

What is Taqiyya? It's an Arabic term for obfuscation, or hiding one's true intentions behind a pile of verbal baloney. Nasrallah sliced the baloney nice and thick when he claimed that the terrorists who murdered 17 people in France recently weren't genuine Muslims.

Here's what Nasrallah said: "The behavior of the takfiri groups that claim to follow Islam have distorted Islam, the Koran and the Muslim nation more than Islam’s enemies ... who insulted the prophet in films... or drew cartoons of the prophet."

According to Islam, a "takfiri" is a phony Muslim who violates all the tenets of the Koran and the teachings of Muhammad. Nasrallah, who offered his remarks during a televised speech to honor the birthday of Muhammad, added that "takfiris are the biggest threat to Islam, as a religion and as a message."

While Nasrallah's baloney special works best on folks who don't know anything about Islam--such as U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry and former Democratic National Committee Chairman Howard Dean--it doesn't work with those who know Islam. Islam isn't about peace and has never been about peace. Those who persecute and murder in the name of Muhammad, do so in obedience to Islam's prophet rather than in defiance of him.

Nasrallah wants the world to view him as a man of peace who avoids violence like a vampire avoids the sunrise. But Nasrallah is anything but a man of peace. He's a man of violence who has frequently called for the mass murder of Jews and the annihilation of Israel.

Here's what he said concerning the Jewish nation back in November, 2014 when he sounded more like the Parisian terrorists who he recently condemned: "You (Israel) should close all of your airports and your ports, because there is no place... on the land of occupied Palestine that the resistance’s rockets cannot reach."

And in 2002, Nasrallah, the man of peace, made this remark concerning the Jews: "If they all gather in Israel, it will save us the trouble of going after them worldwide." In a 2005 televised speech to his supporters, he said this: "How can death become joyous? How can death become happiness? How can the foul taste of death become sweeter than honey? Only through conviction, ideology and faith, through belief and devotion."

That's what Nasrallah is really all about. He's a man of violence and war. And he exploits the ignorance of non-Muslims to convince them that Islam is really a religion of peace that's been hijacked by apostates or takfiris. 

If Nasrallah happens to appear at a venue near you, then please to ask him about the takfiri thing. If the Parisian terrorists, like all the others in the last 50 years who committed violence in the name of Islam were takfiris, then what motivated them? Poverty? Unemployment? Mental Illness? Social alienation? 

Or, could they have been inspired by writings such as this one? Quran (4:74) - "Let those fight in the way of Allah who sell the life of this world for the other. Whoso fighteth in the way of Allah, be he slain or be he victorious, on him We shall bestow a vast reward."  

Or, how about this one? Quran (4:89) - "They but wish that ye should reject Faith, as they do, and thus be on the same footing (as they): But take not friends from their ranks until they flee in the way of Allah (From what is forbidden). But if they turn renegades, seize them and slay them wherever ye find them; and (in any case) take no friends or helpers from their ranks."

Or, this one? Quran (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"

Those writings can be found in the Koran. That's the Islamic holy book that Nasrallah claims preaches peace, tolerance and humility towards all men. 

And that's the same book that those Parisian terrorists dutifully read before they snuffed out 17 lives. So, Hassan, who's the real takfiri? The Muslim who pursues peace? Or violence?
