Intolerance, Insensitivity? By HJS

FROM THE QURAN*

Is this what Allah truly believes about Christians, Jews, and non-Muslims in general?
Muhammad is the messenger of Allah. And those with him are hard against the disbelievers and merciful among themselves… (48:29)

And never will Allah grant to the unbelievers a way to triumph over believers [Pickthall – “any way of success”] (4:141)

Fight those who believe not in Allah nor the Last Day, nor hold that forbidden which hath been forbidden by Allah and His Messenger, nor acknowledge the religion of Truth, (even if they are) of the People of the Book, until they pay the Jizya with willing submission, and feel themselves subdued. (9:29 Jizya is the money that non-Muslims must pay to their Muslim overlords in a pure Islamic state.)

The Ayatollah Khomeini, who dedicated his entire life to studying Islam, said that non-Muslims rank somewhere between "feces" and the "sweat of a camel that has consumed impure food." Small wonder. The Quran dehumanizes non-Muslims, describing them as “animals” and beasts:

Those who reject (Truth), among the People of the Book and among the Polytheists, will be in Hell-Fire, to dwell therein (for aye). They are the worst of creatures. (98:6)

Surely the vilest of animals in Allah's sight are those who disbelieve, then they would not believe. (8:55)

Those who reject our Signs, We shall soon cast into the Fire: as often as their skins are roasted through, We shall change them for fresh skins, that they may taste the penalty: for Allah is Exalted in Power, Wise. (4:56)

"Allah is the enemy of the unbelievers" (2:98) and, as we shall see, he hates them so much that he even leads them into sinning and actively prevents them from believing in him, thus ensuring their fate.

But as for those who disbelieve, garments of fire will be cut out for them; boiling fluid will be poured down on 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. (22:19-22)

HJS Comments: After perusing the above verses, the following may begin to make sense. It does not change the situation; they are still real travesties of horror – but when an imam who lives among us accuses us of intolerance and being insensitive to his people, I have to look at “his people” to see what he means by intolerance and being insensitive. What I see in the following news articles are of almost indescribable brutality. You know what’s missing? Where is coverage by our elite media, warnings by our Department of State, and outrage spoken by our president?

(Hat tip to IslamInEurope).Insulting tags and feces thrown on St. John Church in Avignon (12th November)

For several months, Father Gabriel's church St. John's, has been the target of obscene and offensive tags and excrements. Last week, the fire was set at Cypress adjacent to the religious building, threatening to spread flames to the church. For this priest, "these acts have a direct link with what is happening in Iraq where Christians were attacked."

At the outset, Father Gabriel talks about inter-community tensions and denounces "an increasingly aggressive climate and violence maintained by a small group of young people 12/13 years up to 16 years old." A few days before the burning of Cypress, a youth entered the church during mass, urinating on the porch saying, "We'll toast you all, you and your church."
