Title: Islam is a barrier to peace
Post by freediver on May 22nd, 2012 at 12:21pm
The topic of Rachel Corrie came up in this thread:

http://www.ozpolitic.com/forum/YaBB.pl?num=1337036409/50#50

She was an American woman killed while protesting the bulldozing of homes in Palestine. There is disagreement over the exact circumstances, but let's stick with the 'Palestinian' version - she was deliberately run over by a bulldozer while standing in its path as a protest.

I pointed out that this woman is an example to all Palestinians - one that they are unfortunately very unlikely to follow. What followed was one of those intriguing cases where people who disagree with you prove your point. Falah started out by claiming that the only reason she received worldwide media attention was because she was a white American - it was a racist thing. He attempted to prove this by posting examples of Muslims doing the same thing and not getting the same level of media attention. The only problem is, they were not actually doing the same thing. Falah demonstrated that even for well-off Muslims on the other side of the world, it is impossible to distinguish what made Rachel Corrie so special.

So what makes her special? Basically, she defended the rights of others in a way that was not violent and did not threaten violence, but interfered with actions she considered to be wrong.

There are many iconic examples of non-violent civil disobedience that the rest of the world looks to. Examples include Jesus standing down soldiers who would save him, Ghandi making salt, Mandela rescuing South Africa from almost inevitable violence, the tank man of Tiananmen square man staring down the Chinese army, many of the eastern philosophers, right down to hippies chaining themselves to trees. You can see it for yourself when the leaders of obviously impassioned protestors plea for peaceful interactions with authorities. This is not to say that Ghandi and Mandela for example rejected violence outright. They acknowledged that the aggressor or oppressor can lower the bar and force the conflict 'down'. However today the internet and the prevalence of cameras and videos makes even the most hardened dictator nervous about public violence. It is just a shame that there are no photos or videos publicly available that show what actually happened to Corrie.

So why is this concept so alien to Muslims? I would like to suggest two reasons. They both boil down to a misunderstanding in the west of what Muslims actually want.

1) Martyrdom and virgins. I don't think you get your virgins unless you make at least a token effort at aggression. So instead of standing in front of a tank, the Palestinians throw rocks at it. From an Islamic perspective the outcome is better - you die a martyr. These martyrs become local heroes and inspire others to blow themselves up and do whatever they can. To the civilised world it is a PR disaster. Your death is wasted. Instead of a global outcry, people see your video on the internet, throwing rocks at armed soldiers, and think 'what a loser'. There was genuine outcry over Rachel Corrie. People even organised a boycott of Caterpillar (the manufacturer of the bulldozers) until they stopped selling to Israel. But these efforts keep fizzling out because Palestinians destroy them.

2) The Palestinians, and Muslims in general, do not want peace. Islam is a religion of power and oppression. It cannot cope with losing a war. It cannot cope with trying to make peace with the victors. It cannot cope with a Jewish homeland in land 'owned' by Islam. When Muslims say peace, they mean the peace that comes with military victory. What Muslims want is victory or death. What Islam permits for Muslims in victory would make the Israelis look like Ghandi. Fortunately they have been denied victory for a very long time (even when they greatly outnumbered Israel). So that only leaves them with the option of death. Would-be terrorists arrested in the UK are often the children of Muslim immigrants who left the middle east to escape the endless cycles of violence. Unfortunately many of their children are raised as good Muslims and feel compelled to import the endless violence from their ancestral homeland.

Muslims actually want the bloodshed to continue, because once it ends, it means they lost. If they keep the death toll rising, it is still not over, like Rocky on the ground, but not yet out for the count. You only have to see Abu and Falah talking about the great victory to come (not the peace) to get a feel for what they want.

Freeliar when will your lies end? Every Believing Muslim man who goes to Heaven will be married to beautiful wives.

Arabic doesn't even have a word for "martyr" although the word "shaeed" (witness) is often translated as "martyr".

Whoever dies doing God's work is considered a shaheed. There are also other types of shaeeds:


Quote:
It was narrated from Abu Hurayrah that the Messenger of God (peace & blessings of God upon him) said: “There are five (types) of shaheed: the one who dies of the plague; the one who dies of stomach illness (al-mabtoon); the one who drowns; the one who is crushed by a falling wall; and the one who dies for the sake of God.”
[Bukhari & Muslim]

In another hadeth the categories of “…the one who dies of pleurisy, and the woman who dies together (with her baby).”
[al-Tirmidhi (1846), Abu Dawood (311) and Ibn Maajah (2803)]




Quote:
It was reported in the hadeeth of al-Miqdaam ibn Ma’di Karb that the Prophet (peace & blessings of God upon him) said:

“The shaheed has seven blessings from God: he is forgiven from the moment his blood is first shed; he will be shown his place in Paradise (before the Day of Judgement); he will be spared from the torment of the grave; and he will be secure on the Day of the Greatest Terror (the Day of Judgement); there will be placed on his head a crown of dignity, one ruby of which is better than this world and all that is in it; he will be married to seventy-two of beuatiful-eyed maidens; and he will be permitted to intercede for seventy of his relatives.”
[Tirmidhi]

C'mon Freeliar, we have seen who the oppressors are. The Spanish inquisition, The Conquest of the Americas and the slaughter of American Indians, periodic pogroms against jews in Europe culminating in the holocaust, while islamic governments have always given refuge to Jews.


The greatest oppressors in the last 2000 years have been Christians, usually the catholic church. We could also mention the persecution of intellectuals by the 'flat Earth' church.

Freeliar. What is it with you and the lies? Muslims have won and lost many wars. When Muslims turn away from Islam, they have become weak and lost. God Almighty then generates new groups of Muslims to hold the banner of monotheism high.

Jews lived in Muslim land with peace and security for centuries while they were persecuted by the Catholic church.

Do Muslims accept that jews steal land and dispossess Muslim? Of course not. Who would accept that?

Oh really? Historically, Muslims have made hundreds of peace treaties. Lookat the history of the Catholic Crusades.
One of the things that first interested me in Islam was seeing the honour of the Muslims during the Crusades. Saladin would always honour peace treaties. The shifty Christians would always break the treaties.

The Prophet (peace and blessings of God be upon him) said: “The best of people is the one who lives long and does good.”
[Narrated by Ahmad and al-Tirmidhi, 110; classed as "authentic" by al-Albaani in Saheeh al-Tirmidhi]


and he said


Quote:
Glad tidings to the one who lives long and does good.
[Narrated by al-Tabaraani and Abu Na’eem, classed as "authentic" by al-Albaani in Saheeh al-Jaami’, 3928]



Quote:
Abu Hurayrah said: "Two men became Muslim with the Prophet. One of them became a shaheed, and the other remained (alive) for another year. Talhah ibn ‘Ubaydullaah said: I was shown Paradise (in a dream), and in it I saw that the one who was delayed was admitted before the martyr. I was surprised by that, so the next morning I told the Messenger of God (peace and blessings of God be upon him) about that. The Messenger of God said: “Did he not fast (the month of) Ramadaan after he (the shaheed) was gone, and pray six thousand rak’ahs, or such and such a number of units of prayers for one year?”"
[Ahmad; classed as saheeh by al-Albaani in al-Silsilah al-Saheehah, 2591. al-‘Ajlooni said in Kashf al-Khafa’: its chain of narrators is "good" ]




Quote:
A man said: “O Messenger of God, which of the people is best?” He said: “The one who lives long and does good.” He said: “Which of the people is worst?” He said: “The one who lives long and does evil.”
[Ahmad and al-Tirmidhi, 2330; classed as "authentic" by al-Albaani in Saheeh al-Tirmidhi]




Quote:
It was narrated from Abu Hurayrah that the Messenger of God said: “No one of you should wish for death or pray for it before it comes, for when one of you dies, his good deeds come to an end and for the believer a long life will not increase him in anything but good.”
[Muslim, 2682]

More lies Freeliar? There have been a small number of Muslims arrested which is small in comparison to the number of Catholic Christian terrorist arrested. The Muslims who were arrested mostly come from sub-continental (not Middle Eastern) families that are not often very religious. They were motivated by the oppression of Muslims in the Christian invasion of Afghanistan and Iraq, not by religious doctrine.

Did the Uk have such arrests before the UK decided to kill Muslims in Afghanistan?

I understand their motivation as well. That is not the same thing as condoning violence.

If there were so many witnesses, why did none bother to photograph it while it was actually happening? There would be something kind of spectacular (if a little slow) about a face-off between a protestor and a bulldozer. I would have been snapping away.

There are photos that appear to have been taken a few minutes before and a few minutes after. Perhaps the photographer wanted to save money on film processing.

I would not realise she was being murdered until the bulldozer hit her. I would be expecting a close call, and would see it as an excellent photo opportunity. If I wanted the death to mean anything, I would make sure I got the proof that Israelis did it. I doubt anyone taking photos in that context would fail to consider the situations they might find themselves in.

Freeliar it typical of your dishonesty to pretend that these jews surrendered to Muslims. They were minorities in the lands under muslim rule, therefore it was the Christians who surrendered. The to this would be Yemen where most of the Jews converted to Islam after their rabbis lost a debating tournament with the 4th Roshidoon Calpih Ali in the 7th century CE.

It is one thing to sign a peace treaty, another thing to surrender. We have seen what happens to those who made the mistake of surrender eg. Catholics genocided Muslims and Jews in Spain.

Take the Aboriginal example in Australia. The Aborigines who surrenderd to the British Christians were virtually wiped out and dispossessed. Those who put up the fiercest resistance, like the Yolngu Arnhem Landers, today remain on their land.

History shows us that many wars have looked lost before they swung the other way. The USSR looked lost in 1941 when the Nazis were on the outskirts of Moscow. Just over three years later Soviet troops had captured Berlin.

It looked like the merciless Crusaders were firmly entrenched in the Palestine when Saladin became leader of Egypt in 1167. 20 years later Saladin had managed to unify the muslims in the region and expel the Christian invaders from Jerusalem. The Crusader occuaption of jerusalem last for 99 years. The Balfour Zionist occupation of Jerusalem has lasted 94 years.

In recent years Muslim have freed Sinai, Gaza and southern Lebanon from the Zionist occupation.

Since 2000 muslims have managed to force Israel to withdraw from Gaza and southern Lebanon. Full victory is just around the corner by the Grace of God Almighty.

I would not realise she was being murdered until the bulldozer hit her. I would be expecting a close call, and would see it as an excellent photo opportunity. If I wanted the death to mean anything, I would make sure I got the proof that Israelis did it. I doubt anyone taking photos in that context would fail to consider the situations they might find themselves in.

It wasnt an accident. In Australia (and most other countries) you arent allowed to murder ppl. If they chain themselves to a tree you have to have the authorities remove them before bulldozing the tree. Israelis dont have any compassion though.

The only reason the Israelis can get away with depicting it as a war is because the Palestinians insist on making it a war. Falah even backed me up on this and argued in favour of not surrendering. The Palestinians and many other countries launched a full scale military invasion of Israel decades ago. They lost, but as Falah suggested they did not surrender. If someone attacks you, loses, but refuses to surrender and keeps firing rockets, blowing up busses etc, then they leave you with no choice but to respond with your military.

I do think it is a shame there is no evidence. It makes it easier for people like Falah to put the outcry in the west down to racism.

Thanks for being so honest Falah. The Israelis are merely acknowledging your honesty in refusing to sign the peace treaties, as it would be pretty pointless to sign one with people who see no contradiction between a peace treaty and believing you are still at war and going to win.

Take the Aboriginal example in Australia. The Aborigines who surrenderd to the British Christians were virtually wiped out and dispossessed. Those who put up the fiercest resistance, like the Yolngu Arnhem Landers, today remain on their land.


Abu you are having serious problems with reality. The only reason those aborigines could do that is because the vast majority of settlers went south where European farming methods would work. Even today there are very few white people in the far north. Darwin's population is only 130 thousand. Where settlers and aborigines interacted significantly, any tribes that were violent towards the settlers were slaughtered. The Palestinians have it easy by comparison. If the old standards applied they would be slaughtered. If Muslim standards applied they would be slaughtered.


Quote:
History shows us that many wars have looked lost before they swung the other way. The USSR looked lost in 1941 when the Nazis were on the outskirts of Moscow. Just over three years later Soviet troops had captured Berlin


Is this how you see the Palestinian conflict?

Since 2000 muslims have managed to force Israel to withdraw from Gaza and southern Lebanon. Full victory is just around the corner by the Grace of God Almighty.


You are seriously deluded. No wonder the rest of the world has no interest in helping the Palestinians. The only thing 'forcing' the Israelis is internal politics. The only thing keeping alive the Palestinians who think they will defeat Israel is the generosity of the Israelis.

They don't need to go anywhere. Though if I was there on either side I would try to get anywhere else.

They just have to stop firing rockets and deluding themselves that they are about to have a great military victory over Israel. They have to want peace more than victory or death (though it is obviously their choice). They are literally throwing rocks at tanks and imagining themselves warriors.

I prefer to distinguish brave and stupid. How brave is it to do these things when you know for sure Israel will retaliate and innocent people from your own side will die? Bravery makes no sense in this context, only stupidity.

The Palestinians have waged all out war on Israel, and vastly outnumbered them with their allies. They are hardly defenceless. Right here in this thread we have Falah explaining that a military victory is just around the corner. I agree with you in the sense that they are losing miserably and will continue to do so, but that sort of delusion is still dangerous - hence the rockets and suicide bombers.

You do however demonstrate the misunderstanding in the west. The west sees Palestinians as desperate and defenceless, and think everything would be OK if Israel played softball. On the other hand many Palestinian Muslims (even Australian ones) see themselves as in an ongoing war that they are going to win, and see concessions by Israel as Military victories that demonstrate their own strength. Read Falah's recent posts where he outlines his delusions.

After WWI the Germans carried on like today's palestinians (except their situation was nowhere near as hopeless - they were actually in a position where victory was at least possible). So they turned to lunacy and got sucked into another war, which they lost.

After WWII both German and Japan accepted defeat, got over it, and within a generation were better off than many of the societies that defeated them.

Palestinians choose lunacy, war, and more defeat. They reject the path of peace and prosperity, because it is not what they actually want.

I can't see how there can ever be peace in the middle east, between Israel and her neighbours, while ever ISLAM exists.

Either ISLAM will be destroyed, or, ISLAM will destroy Israel.

There can never be, an Israel at peace, in the middle east.

A rampant ISLAM will never allow it.



Dictionary;
rampant = =
1 flourishing or spreading unchecked.
2 unrestrained in action or performance.
3 (of a plant) lush in growth.
4 [usu. postpos.] Heraldry (of an animal) represented standing on its left hind foot with its forefeet in the air.








The simple fact is that a rampant ISLAM cannot, will never, concede to the presence of an [independent] un-ISLAMIC entity, within its own midst.

And that is the problem, with ISLAM;
Wherever ISLAM manages to gain political authority, ISLAM is always intolerant and oppressive, towards anything which could be viewed as un-ISLAMIC.

Art, science, music,   .....Jews.

This is not as silly as it sounds. It is actually the standard set by Islam. You either welcome the invaders with open arms and become a second class citizen forever, or convert to Islam and become part of the borg, or you end up a slave, or you give up all your land and property to them and bugger off somewhere else (not sure how this last option fits in with Islam's globalist agenda). Other than converting to Islam it is not your choice. It depends on what is deemed to bring most benefit to the Caliphate.

It is one thing to sign a peace treaty, another thing to surrender. We have seen what happens to those who made the mistake of surrender eg. Catholics genocided Muslims and Jews in Spain

I have corrected you before, but will try once more.

In 1066 the Muslims in Spain slaughtered between 3500 and 7000 Jews. The Jews Muslims were expelled from Spain when the Spaniards reclaimed THEIR LAND. Jews and Muslims were given the chance to convert to Christianity, if they refused were expelled with no possessions ( the Muslims stole them from others anyway ).http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1066_Granada_massacre

No such chance was given to these poor buggers by Muslims.  http://www.environmentalgraffiti.com/featured/skull-cathedral-otranto-bones-martyrs-adorn-walls/9100

Muslims killed more people in 1066 than over the entire period of the Spanish inquisition.   http://askville.amazon.com/people-killed-Inquisition/AnswerViewer.do?requestId=3878676

I realise it is difficult for Muslims to have a honest opinion as they rote so little history about their murderous expansion, perhaps they were even disgusted by the atrocities they committed.

ISLAM itself dictates and obligates such a relationship among moslems.


"It is not righteousness that ye turn your faces Towards east or West; but it is righteousness- to believe in Allah and the Last Day, and the Angels, and the Book, and the Messengers; to spend of your substance, out of love for Him, for your kin, for orphans, for the needy, for the wayfarer, for those who ask, and for the ransom of slaves; to be steadfast in prayer, and practice regular charity; to fulfil the contracts which ye have made; and to be firm and patient, in pain (or suffering) and adversity, and throughout all periods of panic. Such are the people of truth, the Allah-fearing."
Koran 8.41

"And know that out of all the booty that ye may acquire (in war), a fifth share is assigned to Allah,- and to the Messenger, and to near relatives, orphans, the needy, and the wayfarer,- if ye do believe in Allah and in the revelation We sent down to Our servant on the Day of Testing,- the Day of the meeting of the two forces. For Allah hath power over all things."
Koran 8.41

etc, etc, etc, 'moslem piety', etc, add infinitum.

BUT NOT 'moslem piety' FOR ANY 'Palestinian'.      SPIT!      SPIT!!

Clearly, Allah's curse, is on any moslem who materially helps his 'Palestinian' brothers and sisters, or would take them in !!!
/sac off





So Abu, if the 'Palestinian people' have been dispossessed by those evil Zionists [n.b. the Jewish people have merely taken back what is their own ancient home land, that was taken from the Jewish people, by others], why can their moslem 'brothers' help them, and absorb the 'poor' 'Palestinian people' into their own communities ???


Abu,

AS MOSLEMS, why are moslems refusing to 'take in' into the Ummah, the dispossessed 'Palestinian people'  ???

Have moslems lost all of their pity for their 'Palestinian' brothers and sisters ???

Again, isn't there enough room in Saudi Arabia for the dispossessed 'Palestinians' ?








+++





Hey Abu,

If moslem invaders are 'righteous' in stealing all of these lands by force of the sword;





THEN PLEASE EXPLAIN, WHY IS IT WRONG FOR THE JEWISH PEOPLE TO TAKE BACK THEIR OWN ANCIENT HOMELAND, AND TO DEFEND IT BY FORCE OF ARMS ???

Your view of history is erroneous Falah

It is one thing to sign a peace treaty, another thing to surrender. We have seen what happens to those who made the mistake of surrender eg. Catholics genocided Muslims and Jews in Spain

I have corrected you before, but will try once more.

In 1066 the Muslims in Spain slaughtered between 3500 and 7000 Jews. The Jews Muslims were expelled from Spain when the Spaniards reclaimed THEIR LAND. Jews and Muslims were given the chance to convert to Christianity, if they refused were expelled with no possessions ( the Muslims stole them from others anyway ).http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1066_Granada_massacre


Quite odd that the oldest source quoted in the wikipedia entry is a Jewish Encyclopedia 1906.

If you read the whole wikipedia entry it says this of the dubious Jewish claims of a massacre:


Quote:
Lewis continues: "Diatribes such as Abu Ishaq's and massacres such as that in Granada in 1066 are of rare occurrence in Islamic history."



So it was rare for Muslims to kill more people in a single year in one area than the entire history of the spanish inquisition?


Can you provide any evidence to support your assertion Freeliar - apart from a Jewish encyclopedia written in 1906?



freediver wrote on May 24th, 2012 at 12:22pm:
Muhammed himself killed and oversaw the killing of more than enough people. This includes Jews who you claim lived 'peacefully' under Muslim oppression for the entire history of Islam.


The Jews were protected in the Madina until they started molesting women, committing murders, helping enemies of the state and plotting to murder Prophet Muhammed, peace & blessing of God upon him.

Initially Prophet Muhammed tried to protect the Jews until their crimes became too much.

Initially the Jews committed murders secretly and would attack lone Muslims. A lone Muslim was killed in the Jewish town of Khaybar. In order, to maintain peace, prophet Muhammed paid compensation to the family of the murder victim out of his own property:


Quote:
A man of the Ansar was killed at Khaybar and his relatives went to the Prophet  and mentioned that to him. He asked: Have you two witnesses who can testify to the murderer of your friend? They replied: "Messenger of God! there was not a single Muslim present, but only jews who sometimes have the audacity to do even greater crimes than this. He said: Then choose fifty of them and demand that they take an oath; but they refused and the Prophet paid the blood-money himself.
[Bukhari]




Quote:
Abdullah ibn Sahl al-Ansari and Muhayyisa ibn Masud went out to Khaybar, and they separated on their various businesses and Abdullah ibn Sahl was killed...

...Muhayyisa returned and said that Abdullah ibn Sahl had been killed and thrown in a shallow well or spring. The jews came and he said, "By God! You have killed him."...The Messenger of God gave blood-money from his own property, and sent them one hundred camels to their house.
[al-Muwatta]



The first tribe of Jews were expelled from Madina after molesting a Muslim woman and the mob-killing of a Muslim man openly in the jewish market.


Quote:
Their behaviour grew too impolite and unbearable. They started a process of trouble-making, jeering at the Muslims, hurting those who frequented their bazaars, and even intimidating their women. Such things began to aggravate the general situation, so the Prophet (Allah bless him and give him peace) gathered them in assemblage, admonished and called them to be rational, sensible and guided and cautioned against further transgression. Nevertheless they remained obdurate and paid no heed to his warning, and said: "Don’t be deluded on account of defeating some Quraishites inexperienced in the art of war. If you were to engage us in fight, you will realize that we are genuine war experts."

In this regard, the Words of God were revealed saying:

[quote]Say to those who disbelieve: ‘You will be defeated and gathered together to Hell, and worst indeed is that place to rest.’ There has already been a Sign for you (O Jews) in the two armies that met (in the battle of Badr): One was fighting in the cause of God, and as for the other (they) were disbelievers. They (the believers) saw them (the disbelievers) with their own eyes twice their number. And God supports with His Victory whom He pleases. Verily, in this is a lesson for those who understand." [Al-Qur'an 3:12,13] [Sunan Abu Da'ud with Aunul-Ma'bood 3/115; Ibn Hisham 1/552]


The answer of the Qunaiqa Tribe amounted, as seen, to war declaration. The Prophet suppressed his anger and advised the Muslims to be patient and forbearing and wait for what time might reveal.

The Jews, went too far in their transgression, presumptuous behaviour and licentious practices. One day a Jewish goldsmith provoked a Muslim woman whose genitals become uncovered when he had tied the edge of the garment to her back. A Muslim man happened to be there and killed the man; the Jews retaliated by killing that Muslim. The man’s family called the Muslims for help and war started. [Ibn Hisham 2/47,48]

On Saturday, Shawwal 15th, 2 A.H., the Prophet marched out with his soldiers, Hamzah bin ‘Abdul Muttalib carrying the standard of the Muslims, and laid siege to the Jews’ forts for 15 days. God cast fear into their hearts, and they were obliged to defer to the Messenger’s judgement on their lives, wealth, women and children; their hands were tied behind their backs.

At this point, Abdullah bin Ubai bin Salul...began to intercede for them (Jews) persistently on grounds of a former alliance between those Jews and His tribe, the Khazraj. Muhammad...granted him his request...After that they were banished out of all Arabia to Azru‘a in Syria
[Ar-Raheeq al-Makhtum, al-Mubarakpuri]
[/quote]

The Jewish Nadir and Quraiza tribes were permitted to stay until they broke their peace treaty and fought against the Muslims, with the Nadir tribe being the main offenders in breaking peace treaties with Muslims initially, after being pressured by the Meccans pagans who were furious at being defeated by Muslims at the Battle of Badr:



Quote:
...The (Meccan) pagans of the Quraysh (tribe) again wrote (a letter) to the Jews after the Battle of Badr: "You are men of weapons and fortresses. You should fight our companion (Muhammed) or we shall deal with you in a certain way. And nothing will come between us and the anklets of your women."...(so) they gathered the Nadir tribe to violate the treaty. They sent a message to the Prophet: "Come out to us with thirty men from your companions, and thirty rabbis will come out from us till we meet at a central place where they will hear you. If they testify to you and believe in you, we shall believe in you."...When the next day came, the Messenger of God went out in the morning with an army, and surrounded them. He told them: "I swear by God, you will have no peace from me until you conclude a treaty with me. But they refused to conclude a treaty with him. He therefore fought them the same day. Next he attacked the Quraysh tribe with an army in the morning, and left the Nadir tribe. He asked them (Quraysh) to sign a treaty and they signed it. He turned away from them and attacked the Nadir tribe with an army. He fought with them until they agreed to expulsion. The Nadir tribe were deported, and they took with them whatever their camels could carry, that is, their property, the doors of their houses, and their wood.
[Bukhari]




Quote:
Narrated Ibn Umar: The Nadir tribe and Quraiza tribe fought (against the Muslims violating their peace treaty), so the Prophet exiled the Nadir tribe and allowed the Quraiza tribe to remain at their places (in Medina) taking nothing from them till they fought against the Prophet again (a second time). He then killed their men and distributed their women, children and property among the Muslims, but some of them came to the Prophet and he granted them safety, and they embraced Islam. He then exiled all the Jews from Medina.

If another country, and other persons, want to show compassion to persons who believe that they have the right to rob, rape, pillage, and murder other human beings, that is their choice.

I will not assist CRIMINALS, in their CRIMINAL endeavours.      [i.e. therefore becoming a criminal myself!!]

I would rather incarcerate criminals, separating criminals FROM the rest of society.







A person would have to be demented to welcome into their home, or, into their nation, moslems, who's philosophy [ISLAM] teaches them that they [moslems] may 'lawfully' rob, rape, pillage, and murder their hosts [ <--- people who have given them sanctuary!! ], .......and that such behaviour is 'lawful' because their hosts do not believe as they [moslems] believe.


"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. "
Koran 9.29

From ISLAMIC law texts, declaring how moslems should treat those who abandon ISLAM [i.e. those who are not moslems]....

"Ibn 'Abbas reported that the Prophet said: "The bare essence of Islam and the basics of the religion are three [acts], upon which Islam has been established. Whoever leaves one of them becomes an unbeliever and his blood may legally be spilled. [The acts are:] Testifying that there is no God except Allah, the obligatory prayers, and the fast of Ramadan."...."
fiqhussunnah/fus3_50.html#3.110

n.b. "Whoever......becomes an unbeliever.....his blood may legally be spilled."






Every moslem who has been given sanctuary in Australia, openly declares that he has embraced ISLAM, including ISLAM's tenets and laws.

And ISLAM teaches those very moslems from childhood, that 'unbelievers' have no protection in their moslem society, and that their duty, their obligation to ISLAM, is to destroy the un-ISLAMIC community [ the community which has given those moslems sanctuary], and to replace that society with ISLAMIC law.


1/    "...Allah is an enemy to those who reject Faith." [i.e. 'Unbelief' [in man] is a crime.].

Why?

Simply because many of the Jews refused to relinquish Judaism, and adopt ISLAM.


"While we were in the mosque, Allah's Apostle came out to us and said, "Let us proceed to the Jews." So we went along with him till we reached Bait-al-Midras (a place where the Torah used to be recited and all the Jews of the town used to gather). The Prophet stood up and addressed them, "O Assembly of Jews! Embrace Islam and you will be safe!" The Jews replied, "O Aba-l-Qasim! You have conveyed Allah's message to us." The Prophet said, "That is what I want (from you)." He repeated his first statement for the second time, and they said, "You have conveyed Allah's message, O Aba-l-Qasim." Then he said it for the third time and added, "You should Know that the earth belongs to Allah and His Apostle, and I want to exile you from, this land, so whoever among you owns some property, can sell it, otherwise you should know that the Earth belongs to Allah and His Apostle.""

It only takes a small number of Muslims like Abu and Falah to create the violence, but it takes a much bigger proportion of the population to condone the violence and fail to reign it in. I am sure the Israelis would prefer the Palestinians to take responsibility for any rockets that get launched from Palestine and lock up the people who do this. Do you think that will ever happen, even if the result is Palestinians dying in response? It will not happen because the Palestinian people actually support ongoing violence and want a military victory, no matter how unlikely, more than they want peace. After all, they have literally made a religion of winning wars and ruling over Jews.


Quote:

Yes Falah we know there is always an excuse when Muslims slaughter people and the Muslims are always blameless. Just like if a Palestinian launches rockets into Israel from his rooftop and his children die in the return fire, it is the Israeli's fault his children died. Islam absolves him of any responsibility for his own actions or the need to think for himself.

The point is, the Jews obviously did not live in peace the whole time. But when it became obvious their only choice was submit or die, they chose to live. Muslims on the other hand choose to die.

If those Jews had behaved anything at all like today's Palestinians, there would be no trace left of them. Palestinians are given more rope to hang themselves with than any other people in the history of the world. Israel is the most generous victor there has ever been. But you are incapable of putting any of this into perspective, even when the facts are staring you in the face, because Islam is blind to reality and born to rule.

Totally incorrect. The Jewish tribes of Madina were warned many times to honour their treaties and were given many warnings before they were expelled - and most of them were expelled not killed. They were expelled because they kept violating their promises and treaties. They were treated on a case by case basis, but each Jewish tribe in Madina eventually broke their treaties and acted treacherously - some more so than others.




freediver wrote on May 24th, 2012 at 6:09pm:

There is a big difference Freeliar. The Muslims were invited to Madina. The Jews were one of the parties that agreed to invite the Muslims and live with Muhammed as a ruler. The Jews signed treaties in Madina promising not to attack the Muslim and help them defend the city. The Jews broke their promises and attacked Madina.


The Palestinian, on the other hand, never invited the Jews to come and rule Palestine.

The Jews offer provocation after provocation. Stealing land, stealing more land, bombing civilians. The Jews were offered peace many times but their greed prevented them from ever making a peace deal.

Put simply, the Israeli Jews will never make peace because, as their rejection of every peace demonstrates, their greed is overwhelming.

It is true that the Muslims kindly allowed the Jews to return to Palestine after the Romans/Byzantine had expelled them for 600 years. But before the 20th century, there were only a few thousand Jews in palestine.

Even by 1948, the Jews did not own much land in Palestine as these maps demonstrate:

Tell me falah, if the Jews had refused to sign those treaties on the grounds that they were about to have a great victory over Muhammed, what would muhammed have done? That's right, he would have slaughtered every last one of them. If only the Israelis were equally generous.

Your attempts to paint Muslims as the eternal victims and never at fault is getting absurd Falah. Eventually they have to take responsibility for their own actions.

This is false Yadda, the Jews had invited Muhammed to come to Madina and be their ruler. The Jews had signed treaties promising to protect the Islamic state. The Jews broke their treaties and attacked the Islamic state. This was grounds for their expulsion. Some of the Jewish tribes had been more treacherous than other. Despite their many crimes, Prophet Muhammed mercifully gave the tribe deemed least treacherous one last chance to stay if they converted to Islam. Some of the Jews dedcided to take up the offer and converted o Islam, others left.

This was all done on a case by case basis. Over the years, all the Jewish tribes in Madina proved themselves to be treacherous and broke their treaties with the Muslims.

There were other Jews living under the islamic state, like those in Yemen. The Yemeni Jews did not break treaties, and therefore were not expelled from Yemen. In fact most of the Yemeni jews converted to Islam, but many remained Jewish and till this day there are many Yemeni Jews.

The Jewish Nadir and Quraiza tribes were permitted to stay until they broke their peace treaty and fought against the Muslims, with the Nadir tribe being the main offenders in breaking peace treaties with Muslims initially, after being pressured by the Meccans pagans who were furious at being defeated by Muslims at the Battle of Badr:



In the time of Mohammed, Jewish communities in Saudi Arabia were being oppressed and pillaged by moslems.

Why?

Simply because many of the Jews refused to relinquish Judaism, and adopt ISLAM.


This is false Yadda, the Jews had invited Muhammed to come to Madina and be their ruler. The Jews had signed treaties promising to protect the Islamic state. The Jews broke their treaties and attacked the Islamic state. This was grounds for their expulsion. Some of the Jewish tribes had been more treacherous than other. Despite their many crimes, Prophet Muhammed mercifully gave the tribe deemed least treacherous one last chance to stay if they converted to Islam. Some of the Jews dedcided to take up the offer and converted o Islam, others left.

This was all done on a case by case basis. Over the years, all the Jewish tribes in Madina proved themselves to be treacherous and broke their treaties with the Muslims.

There were other Jews living under the islamic state, like those in Yemen. The Yemeni Jews did not break treaties, and therefore were not expelled from Yemen. In fact most of the Yemeni jews converted to Islam, but many remained Jewish and till this day there are many Yemeni Jews.

Say it - the Jews invited the pbuh guy to kill them for being naughty boys. go on. That's the gist of what you are saying.

But if a Westerner, let alone a Jew, says today - hey, the Arabs have been warned, they didn't heed the warnings and didn't desist so we killed them - you go all human rights and liberation theology.

It is fact. Prophet Muhammed (peace & blessings of God upon him) did not have an army when he went to Madina, how did he become ruler without negotiations?


Provisions of a treaty made with Jews of Madina:


Quote:
The most important provisions of the treaty are the following:

1. The Jews of the ‘Awf tribe are one community with the believers (Muslims). The Jews will profess their religion, and the Muslims theirs.

2. The Jews shall be responsible for their expenditure, and the Muslims for theirs.

3. If attacked by a third party, each shall come to the assistance of the other.

4. Each party shall hold counsel with the other. Mutual relation shall be founded on righteousness; sin is totally excluded.

5. Neither shall commit sins to the prejudice of the other.

6. The wronged party shall be aided.


7. The Jews shall contribute to the cost of war so long as they are fighting alongside the believers (Muslims).

8. Madinah shall remain sacred and inviolable for all that join this treaty.

9. Should any disagreement arise between the signatories to this treaty, then God, the All-High and His Messenger shall settle the dispute.

10. The signatories to this treaty shall boycott Quraish (tribe of Mecca who had stolen property from the Muslims) commercially; they shall also abstain from extending any support to them.

11. Each shall contribute to defending Madinah, in case of a foreign attack, in its respective area.

12. This treaty shall not hinder either party from seeking lawful revenge. [Ibn Hisham 1/503,504]


The emboldened provisions were broken by the Jewish tribes.

This is incorrect.

Muslims did not force non-Muslims to relocate like whites did to blacks in Apartheid.

The relocation of a Jewish tribe from Madinah was an exceptional case because the tribe was treated as a state. Individual Jews were able to ask permission to stay in Madina on an individual basis, but their right to live as a state within a state was revoked upon their violations of treaties..

Many Jews asked permission to stay in Madina, and were given this permission. The expulsion was for the tribe as a legal entity as a state within a state. Individual Jews were permitted to remain if they so wished.


Apartheid also restricted employment opportunities according to race. This is not the case in Islam which does not restrict dhimmis from employment except in areas involving state secrecy.

No non-combatants were killed.If it were as you suggested why would any of them stay at all? The fact is that quite a few Jews were so impressed by the mercy and generosity of the Muslims that that they voluntarily converted to Islam.

One of these Jews married Prophet Muhammed (God's peace & blessing upun him) after being given the option of staying or exile. If she felt that the Jews had been harshly treated would she likely have have  stayed in Madina, converted to Islam, married the leader of the Muslims, and become a great scholar of the Islamic religion?

Freeliar/Yadda (whoever you are at the moment), I have already explained that the Treaty of Hudaybiyyah was violated by the pagan side not the Muslim side.

The pagans committed a sensless massacre which violated the terms of the treaty. Should Muslims be bound by a treaty that the other side violates?

Even after they pagans had violated the treaty, Muslims still left the door open topeace by offering the pagans an opportunity to pay compensation to the victims' families or terminate their alliance with the agressor parties. The pagans refused, so the Muslims were left without a choice but to consider the treaty null and void when it had cleartly been vioalted by the pagans..

Freeliar, treaties generally are temporary, in that parties are free to withdraw from them at any time.

States are usually free to pull out of treaties any time they wish.

Freeliar it seems that your idea of "treaty" is not what is understood by rest of the world.


Quote:
...Treaties are not necessarily permanently binding upon the signatory parties. As obligations in international law are traditionally viewed as arising only from the consent of states, many treaties expressly allow a state to withdraw as long as it follows certain procedures of notification. Many treaties expressly forbid withdrawal. Other treaties are silent on the issue, and so if a state attempts withdrawal through its own unilateral denunciation of the treaty, a determination must be made regarding whether permitting withdrawal is contrary to the original intent of the parties or to the nature of the treaty...

...If a state party's withdrawal is successful, its obligations under that treaty are considered terminated, and withdrawal by one party from a bilateral treaty of course terminates the treaty...

...Treaties sometimes include provisions for self-termination, meaning that the treaty is automatically terminated if certain defined conditions are met. Some treaties are intended by the parties to be only temporarily binding and are set to expire on a given date. Other treaties may self-terminate if the treaty is meant to exist only under certain conditions...

But, in fact, Muhammad was the first to violate the Treaty of Hudaibiya.  Even the Qur’an acknowledges this, which means any knowledgeable Muslim must as well.

The terms of the treaty specified that any Muslim who flees Mecca for Medina (where Muhammad resided) must be returned.  But when a group of Muslims did exactly that a few weeks after the treaty signing, Muhammad did not return all of them, but kept the women.  A verse from Allah arrived conveniently to justify his decision (60:10).

Today’s Muslims have only one answer for this: Allah gave Muhammad His personal permission to break the treaty.  It is an obvious double standard, but one that they are comfortable with, since Muslims believe their religion makes them superior.  (It remains unclear as to why Allah had Muhammad sign on to terms that were intended to be violated).

Eschewing technicalities at this point, the apologists then begin to talk of the seriousness of violations, claiming that the killing of those tribe members allied with the Muslims constituted a graver offense.  They are correct, of course, but there is yet another piece to the story that drives home the double standard all the more:

As it turns out, Muslims were murdering Meccans after the treaty signing and prior to the revenge killings between the allied tribes!

Bukhari 50:891 tells of a man named Abu Basir who embraced Islam and then killed a Meccan.  Muhammad sends the man to live on the coast, where he forms a group of seventy Muslims who support themselves by attacking Meccan caravans.  According to the Hadith, he and the other Muslims “killed them and took their property.”  Muir words it as follows, “They waylaid every caravan from Mecca (for since the truce, traffic with Syria had again sprung up) and spared the life of no one.”

Attacking and killing Meccans was an obvious violation of the treaty of Hudaibiya, but the victims did not want war with Muhammad and thus did not march against him.  Yet, Muhammad jumped on the first excuse to attack the Meccans, even though they were not threatening him.  His adversaries wanted peace, but he wanted power.  Needless to say, they had little choice but to surrender to him without a fight.

The dual ethics of Islam are ingrained in the faith, including the disparate treatment of unbelievers.  It should be no surprise that Muhammad held others to standards by which he was personally unwilling to abide.  In this case, he was the first to violate the treaty of Hudaibiya.  Thus did he establish an example for his followers: a promise to non-Muslims is not obligatory for the believer.  As Abu Bakr, himself a military leader, put it:

"If I take an oath to do something and later on I find something else better than the first one, then I do what is better and make expiation for my oath." (Bukhari 78:618)
Muhammad no doubt would have agreed:


"The Prophet said: 'War is deceit'." (Bukhari 52:269)

All of the ones I have heard about so far. I realise he always blamed the Jews, of course. Do I need to rephrase the question for you to be able to answer it, or would it be a pointless exercise anyway?

Soren, thanks for the details. They paint a very different picture to what Falah has been putting forward. Falah, if this is all in the Koran and Hadiths then surely you have no reason to cover them up or misrepresent them? You are not ashamed of them are you?

Perhaps it is time for you to explain the Islamic principle of Hudna, rather than constantly deflecting.

The group of Muslims, who were they Soren?

A group of male and female refugees. The males were returned as stipulated in the treaty.

The Muslims were commanded by God to give sanctuary to the female refugees.

The Muslims gave sanctuary to a small group of female refugees, and you believe that this somehow justifies the pagans then going out and committing a massacre?

Soren you deceptively do not tell us the whole story. Abu Basir was one of the people being tortured by the pagans for converting to Islam. The pagans also stole his property. Abu Basir managed to escape from the pagans but Prophet Muhammed kept his promise as per the treaty and returned him to the pagan torturers.


Quote:
...When the Prophet returned to Medina, Abu Basir, a new Muslim convert from the Quraish tribe came to him. The pagans sent in his pursuit two men who said (to the Prophet ), "Abide by the promise you gave us." So, the Prophet handed him over to them. They took him out (of the City) till they reached Dhul-Hulaifa where they dismounted to eat some dates they had with them. Abu Basir said to one of them, "By God, O so-and-so, I see you have a fine sword!" The other drew it out (of the scabbard) and said, "By God, it is very fine and I have used it many times." Abu Basir said, "Let me have a look at it." When the other gave it to him, he hit him with it till he died, and his companion ran away till he came to Medina and entered the Mosque running. When God's Apostle saw him he said, "This man appears to have been frightened." When he reached the Prophet he said, "My companion has been murdered and I would have been murdered too." Abu Basir came and said, "O God's Apostle, by God, God has made you fulfill your obligations by your returning me to them (i.e. the pagans), but God has saved me from them." The Prophet said, "Woe to his mother! "You are a war-monger. I wish you could be helped." When Abu Basir heard that he understood that the Prophet would return him to them again, so he set off till he reached the seashore. Abu Jandal bin Suhail also escaped from them (i.e. pagans) and joined Abu Basir. So, whenever a man from the Quraish tribe embraced Islam he would follow Abu Basir till they formed a strong group. By God, whenever they heard about a caravan of Quraish tribe heading towards Sham (Syria), they stopped it and attacked and killed them (i.e. pagans) and took their properties. The people of the Quraish tribe sent a message to the Prophet requesting him for the Sake of God and Kith and kin to send for (i.e. Abu Basir and his companions) promising that whoever (amongst them) came to the Prophet would be secure. So the Prophet sent for them (i.e. Abu Basir's companions) and God I revealed the following Divine Verses: "And it is He Who Has withheld their hands from you and your hands From them in the midst of Mecca, After He made you the victorious over them. . . . the unbelievers had pride and haughtiness, in their hearts . . . the pride and haughtiness of the time of ignorance."

[Bukhari]



The Muslims were escaping from their torturers (the pagan Quraysh), but were not allowed into the Islamic state, so lived in exile. The Quraysh had stolen all the property of the Muslims, so the exiles felt justified in raiding caravans which contained their own property.



Soren wrote on May 28th, 2012 at 12:20pm:
"The Prophet said: 'War is deceit'." (Bukhari 52:269)



The deceipt allowed means to hide military tactics and strategies, it does not mean treachery.

For example, during a war a Muslim can conduct a raid on an enemy military camp during the night in order to surprise the enemy.

However, treachery is not allowed.

Islam has attained a high standard of ethics with regard to the use of these tricks in war. The second caliph, Umar ibn al-Khattaab threatened the death penalty for any Muslim who used treachery in war:


Quote:
‘Umar ibn al-Khattaab wrote to the commander of an army that he had sent out: “I have heard that some men among you look for disbelievers, then when they run to hide in difficult mountainous terrain they say, ‘Do not be afraid,’ then when they catch up with them they kill them. By the one in whose hand is my soul (eg. God), if I hear that anyone has done that I will chop off his head.”

It was narrated that Abu Muslimah said: “ ‘Umar ibn al-Khattaab said: ‘By the One in Whose hand is my soul (eg. God), if any one of you were to point to the sky [i.e., a gesture to imply that he will not harm him] to make a pagan come down to him and then kill him, I would kill him for that.’”

al-‘Allaaqaat al-Khaarijiyyah fi Dawlat al-Khilaafah, 197.


Islam has forbidden treachery, and treachery is not one of the kinds of tricks and deception that are permitted in war.

Islamic law makes a distinction between the kinds of deceit that are permitted and that which involves treachery and breaks treaties.


In the West, leaders will even lie to their own people and say things like "Iraq has weapons of mass destruction".

Falah
The oldest source of knowledge that I know about regarding the 1066 massacre in Spain is from Maimonides the Jewish scholar. He was born in Spain in Cordoba 1135 (somewhat earlier than 1906) the family fled Almoravid Spain and he wrote of that time “never have the Jews been so persecuted” I suggest falah, that you do more reading on this subject .

“If you read the whole Wikipedia entry it says this of the dubious Jewish claims of a massacre:

Many articles are under threat from supposed “Muslim scholars”. Islam has very few historians and even less of note. The present day Islam revisionist agenda is trying to sugar coat all Muslim slaughters so that your murderous cult will appeal to even more of the mentally afflicted.

“The Church is used as propaganda by Christians. Ottoman historians said that the bones were collected from the battlefield and came from the 1300 Italian soldiers who took part in the battle.”

I would like to know the source of this lie. Turks have lied about the Armenian genocide for almost a century they have no credibility. Be honest though Falah you had no knowledge of this discusting act untill I told you and jan about it.

I believe a relation of George Bush was a missionary in part of the Turkish Empire when the Christians were annihilated, he wrote a book on the persecution of non-muslims. Why don’t you find it for us so that we can both learn about the lies of the Turks.  It is in the open source arena.

"That is obviously a pretty dodgy statement. It is well documented that Jews and Christians lived peacefully and prosperously in Islamic Spain."

No it is not please check it out. The Rocky Place is still a Rocky Place.

Islam, Science and the Problems at Wikipedia From WikiIslam, the online resource on Islam

This article discusses the problems faced by Wikipedia with its Islam-related articles.

[edit] Introduction

At Wikipedia, Islam-related articles are severely compromised by Muslim editors. An example of this is a 2010 incident where an editor with over 67,000 edits was caught intentionally inserting false information into articles. Jagged 85 had been editing there for 5 years, and his/her inaccurate edits and articles have been reproduced all over the net by other websites which use Wikipedia as a source.

[edit] Wikipedia Report

[edit] Cause of Concern

The following is a quote from the report that was filed on him:

A summary of the above is that, despite repeated requests from other editors, this editor has continued over several years to: 1. Misrepresent a source by quoting material utterly out of context; for example, see [1] or [2].
2. Report that a source supports a claim that it simply does not and sometimes explicitly does not; for example, see [3], [4] or [5].
3. Claim that a certain figure invented something or was the first to do something, when the cited source simply says that they made or did that thing, without any suggestion that they were the first to do so; for example, see [6], [7], [8], [9], or [10].
4. Take a passing comment about some connection to a modern theory and claim that the Islamic thinker being discussed invented that theory or is an important forefather of that theory; for example, see [11] or [12].
5. Report only one point from a source, even if a minor one, and ignore the contrary position it reports, even if that is the majority position; for example, see [13].
6. Rather than withdraw a claim, if it is pointed out that the cited source does not support the claim, find a source of any quality to use instead, even when that may be of much lower quality than the original source, which made the opposite claim; for example, see [14].
7. Invent claims and cite sources connected with the issue but which simply do not support those claims; for example, see [15]

In addition to such misuse of sources, this editor has also continued to:
1. Use questionable, inappropriate and unreliable sources; for example, see [16] or [17].
2. Use exceptionally poor sources for exceptional claims; for example, see [18].

The links above are just a selection of the problematic edits collected at Wikipedia:Requests for comment/Jagged 85/Evidence, which contains more material gathered by myself and other editors. There are yet more examples collected by another editor at User:Spacepotato/Examples of original research in Wikipedia and User:Spacepotato/Misuse of sources.
Most of the material gathered is from the history of science and technology, as that is the area in which we have tended to work but I have also collected four problematic edits from just the seven days after 11 April 2010, and mostly from current affairs and general history articles, at Wikipedia:Requests for comment/Jagged 85/Recent evidence.

Wikipedia:Requests for comment/Jagged 85

[edit] The Islamic Golden Age

Jagged 85 concentrated most of his efforts on the history of science and technology, but more specifically, his efforts were focused on the so-called Islamic "Golden Age":

as I started perusing more history of science articles, I noticed that articles such as Astronomy in Medieval Islam, Science in medieval Islam, Islamic Golden Age, and many others were utter POV-fests, essentially claiming that all modern scientific discoveries were anticipated by medieval Muslim philosophers. Articles about these philosophers (e.g. Abu Rayhan Biruni, Avicenna) read like extended hagiographies. I also noticed that the main contributor to these articles was Jagged 85.

Wikipedia:Requests for comment/Jagged 85/ View by certifying user Athenean

I first came into detailed contact with Jagged's edits when I looked at Timeline of historic inventions in the fall of 2009 and noticed that many of the entries in the list were facially absurd; for example, the p-n junction was said to be invented by Isamu Akasaki in 1989, and the funnel was said to be invented between the 8th and 10th centuries CE by medieval alchemists. I then noticed that over 20% of the list had been contributed by Jagged, and that although his edits were well-supplied with footnotes, the sources he gave did not verify many of the claims made in the list. This was a problem with the rest of his work as well, which has been extensive (he has over 60,000 mainspace edits on en.wikipedia at this time, as alluded to above.) I would like to emphasize that, although this problem is very noticeable in the medieval Islamic period (as this is an area which Jagged has concentrated on), it's present elsewhere as well and has afflicted e.g. List of Japanese inventions.

Wikipedia:Requests for comment/Jagged 85/ View by certifying user Spacepotato

[edit] Western Achievements

Unfortunately, this users edits were not limited to only the Islamic portions of articles. A lot of his efforts were also concentrated on downplaying the achievements of the Western world in various topics, and once again, focused primarily on Science:

Jagged first came to my attention through edits such as these [19], where he sought to play up scientific contributions of non-European cultures while at the same time downplaying European, and especially ancient Greek contributions [20]. At the time, I was new to wikipedia, and moreover assumed good faith [...] Following his latest burst of activity on these articles beginning in December 2009, I scrutinized his track record more carefully and came to the following conclusion: This user is on a two-fold mission on wikipedia, the first of which is to promote scientific achievements on non-European cultures while downplaying and hedging those of European cultures, and the second of which is to promote a positive image of Islam, whether through scientific achievements or social reforms. In addition to competent editing, the following problematic methods are employed: 1. Misusing a source by either completely falsifying it or else extending it completely beyond what it says.
2. Using low quality POV sources.
3. Not giving page numbers when citing a source .
4. Tendentiously re-inserting material removed by consensus long ago without discussion using misleadingly bland edit-summaries, and then edit-warring over it.
5. Pasting the same text all over wikipedia, including articles where it is not really relevant.
6. Presenting minority views as majority views.

[edit] Jagged 85 Returns

Following the original report, the user had apologized (claiming the inaccuracies were unintentional) and had agreed to adhere to Wikipedia rules, only to return without his old user-name to continue his vandalism:

Athenean, I'm afraid that the person behind Jagged_85 is actually still editing, albeit no longer with that account. It doesn't look like he is planning to clean his mess up. Like: Forced conversion
Rashidun Caliphate
Reciprocating engine
Bombay (film)
Mexican standoff
Can I leave this with you to touch base with the other users from the RfC/U to do the required follow-ups, and coordinate how this can be cleaned up?
FWIW, there is a tool used by the copyright violation cleanup people, the Contribution surveyor, that might be helpful here to create a list of articles and diffs that need to be looked at (like e.g. this). You could ask one of the regulars there to create it for you.

User talk:Athenean - Jagged 85

[edit] Other problems at Wikipedia

Besides Jagged 85, other problems at Wikipedia include the use of some very suspect and pro-Islamic secondary sources, such as Paul Vallely's "How Islamic inventors changed the world", which is used as a source to validate false (and often absurd)[1] claims of Islamic inventions in over twenty separate articles,[2] and the use of a fraudulent translation of Muhammad's 'Farewell Sermon', along with a second version, without a primary source. Attempts to add the authentic version taken from al-Tabari, Vol IX, next to the other two at Wikipedia, were met with resistance and was ultimately unsuccessful.

[edit] Conclusion

From this incident we've learn't that Jagged 85 is the main contributor to the many inaccurate Islam/Science/Golden Age articles which are still being copied and pasted all over the internet by Muslims, and that more than 20% of Wikipedia's "Timeline of historic inventions" was provided by him.

With contributions to over 8,100 separate articles, it is unlikely that all of Jagged 85's edits will ever be fixed. And even if they were, these Wikipedia articles have already been reproduced all over the net by other sites which use Wikipedia as a source.

While Wikipedia can be a great resource for general knowledge and a decent starting point in the research of Islam, this and the other examples cited above, highlight the constant problems that Wikipedia faces for Islam related articles.

Just so, thanks.

The disinterested pursuit of knowledge is an incomprehensible notion for an Islamist (as it is for a committed Marxist-Leninist or fascist).

The Golden Age o Islam, when Arabs supposedly saved ancient books for posterity, is a perennial reminder: the ARabs didn't do the translation (converts and dhimmis did who learned Arabic) and only books that supported Islam were translated.

What you desperately ignore is Muslim governments' role in motivating translations of ancient Greek and Persian texts.

In some cases Muslim governments offered the book's weight in gold as a reward for translation. This demonstrates a clear commitment to learning unparallelled at the time in Europe where Christian clergy discouraged common folk from learning to read at all.

You are a living example of Muslim hostility towards any non-Muslim ideas that do not support Mohammed. Not being critical of Mohammed and the Koran is a cornerstone of your 'knowledge' and has been sinth the 7th century.
Disinterested knowledge is anathema to Muslims, has been for ever.

You are a living example of Muslim hostility towards any non-Muslim ideas that do not support Mohammed. Not being critical of Mohammed and the Koran is a cornerstone of your 'knowledge' and has been sinth the 7th century.
Disinterested knowledge is anathema to Muslims, has been for ever.



The Greek classics preserved by Muslim governments were all Quranic commentaries were they?

You are morally and intellectualy bankrupt Sore One.

Didn't say they were Koranic commentaries, you devious little dissembler.
I said their sole interest was in texts that supported Islamic doctrine - religious and legal - that is why there was ZERO translation of ancient literature. Not allowed or not interested.

When was the Iliad and the Odyssey first translated into Arabic? Ovid? Pindar, Hesiod, Aristophanes? No poetry, no histories, no picaresque novels, no dramas, no comedies.

If the Southern Aborigines had managed to defend themselves better, they might still own the land.


Falah, which do you think would have been the most likely outcome in the Mildura or similar areas?

a) they would have retained ownership of the land

b) they would be dead

Can you prove your lie that I lied by making that claim about your thesis?
