Several weeks ago reporters asked presidential candidate Herman Cain if he would appoint a Muslim to an important position in his administration. To that question, he expressed strong reservations about including anyone who was an advocate of Sharia (Islamic Law) in a Cain administration. This was a courageous answer given the prevailing ignorance of Islam in America today, and especially the truth suppressing political correctness that dominates the influential broadcast and print media.
The three most recent American presidents have subscribed to the fictional version of Islam financed and propagated by the Muslim Brotherhood and enforced by media lynch mobs whose politically correct multiculturalism is unsupportable by facts or logic. Their blind and deaf litany has been: “Islam is a religion of peace and tolerance.” This naïve litany could prove fatal to political and religious freedom in America and Europe.
The truth is that the basic doctrinal standards of Islam—the Koran and the teachings and example of Muhammad—are filled with a totalitarian ideology that permits and even encourages violence and economic and political suppression of other religions. Sharia Law reflects, endorses, and strictly enforces this ideology in minute detail, often exacting brutal mandatory punishments that violate Western sensibilities and U.S. Constitutional rights. All this is not only prominent in Islam’s doctrinal standards, it is strongly reflected in the history of Islam and its proclivity to violence in the modern world.
Winston Churchill observed:
“How dreadful are the curses which Mohammedanism lays on its votaries…The fact that in Mohammedan law every woman must belong to some man as his absolute property—either as a child, a wife, or a concubine—must delay the final extinction of slavery until the faith of Islam has ceased to be a great power among men.”
“Individual Moslems may show splendid qualities. Thousands become the brave and loyal soldiers of the Queen; all know how to die. But the influence of the religion paralyses the social development of those who follow it. No stronger retrograde force exists in the world. Far from being moribund, Mohammedanism is a militant and proselytizing faith.”
Cain knows enough about Islam to know that Sharia, including its slow and stealthy acceptance, is a serious threat to the Western system of law embedded in the U.S. Constitution and the Declaration of Independence. All men and women are not equal under the law of Islam.
As I pointed out in an earlier article, however, Cain later said that he might appoint a Muslim who promised to support the U.S. Constitution. This would be a dangerously loose criterion for appointment given the Islamic doctrine of Taqiyya, which allows Muslims to lie to and deceive non-Muslims to defend or advance Islam.
Many disturbing doctrines of Islam have been kept under cover by the heavy chains of political correctness that dominate American media and academia. The doctrine of Islamic Supremacism, based on many Koranic passages, is the belief that Islam is superior to all other faiths, cultures, and forms of society and government. Most importantly, under that doctrine Allah ordains that Islam should conquer and dominate them. Omar Ahmad, a co-founder of the Council on American Islamic Relations (CAIR), admitted that:
“Islam isn’t in America to be equal to any other faith, but to become dominant. The Koran should be the highest authority in America, and Islam the only accepted religion on the Earth.”
Our political leaders are more familiar with the doctrine of Jihad (Holy War), but many do not seem to realize that this war is against all who reject or oppose Islam. Jihad is so prevalent in the Koran and the history of the Muslim world that it is impossible to deny that it is a major and distinctive doctrine of Islam. Many academic apologists for Islam—influenced by CAIR and its prodigious Muslim Brotherhood financing—assert that Jihad is an individual and internal spiritual struggle. There is a grain of truth to this based on a few Koranic verses, but there is a mountain of Koranic verses and statements by Muhammad that prove otherwise. Muhammad made it perfectly clear that the sword is the basic and most revered way of spreading Islam.
These worrisome facts about Islam have much deeper ramifications than the selection of Muslims for political appointments. What are the implications to our already disgracefully loose immigration policies so far as national security and public safety are concerned? What are the ultimate social, cultural, and political consequences of immigration policies that ignore the danger of militant Muslim doctrines deeply embedded in the Koran and the teachings of Muhammad? The examples of Britain, Sweden, and France—where free speech, Christian expression, and the ability to resist further Islamization are being crushed—should serve as an eye-opening warning to us.
We must require of our political leaders not only intellectual competence and a vision of America compatible with our heritage of liberty and freedom, but also character, conviction, and courage. Our national character and convictions must be based on truth, or we are destined to lose our liberty and freedoms. Without courage, no other virtues of character can survive. Without political courage, nations cannot prosper, but will inevitably decline and see their heritage and freedoms lost. Truth and courage must once again be among the foremost standards for American leadership.
