Horowitz Mischaracterizes Islam
By Zahra Khimji
PUBLISHED OCTOBER 12, 2007
With all due respect to freedom of speech and the awareness of terrorist activity in the political world, David Horowitz should rethink the arguments and ideas of “Islamo-Fascism Awareness Week,” and look at the facts. This involves the true perception and moderate interpretation of Islam. The “Muslim terrorists” that Horowitz is pointing at are an incredibly minute minority in the Muslim community worldwide. Let me add that there are approximately 1.61 billion Muslims worldwide, and that Islam is the fastest-growing religion.
Firstly, Horowitz has completely misunderstood the concept of Islam. It means submission in order to attain peace. Therefore the whole idea of terrorism in our religion is completely devoid. It is only when Muslims must defend themselves and protect their rights that they are allowed to fight back. Isn’t that true for any country or any religion in the world? Isn’t it basic human instinct to fight and defend oneself? Furthermore, the fourth chapter of the Quran says, “Do not kill yourselves (nor kill one another).”
The extremists that Horowitz is pointing to are a minority that has misinterpreted Islam. They have used the religion of Islam for selfish motives and reasons to destroy peace in the world. I ask Horowitz to take a deeper look into this religion and to see what it really stands for. This relates to the way Muslims are instructed to treat one another and non-Muslims, and to behave as peaceful individuals in the society. There are so many verses of the Quran and sayings of the Prophet (Peace Be Upon Him) that teach Muslims to act with respect and peace.
It makes me angry that I—a Muslim on this campus, a moderate Muslim living her life normally—have to suffer great ignorance. This goes toward other extremist Muslims and anyone else unwilling to take a reality check. I am offended by the treatment that I have been given, and I feel there is little respect for the Muslims who are here, pursuing an education and wanting to carry on with the practice of their faith. If this is truly the land of freedom, I would not have had to write this and express my deepest grief.

"It means submission in order to attain peace. Therefore the whole idea of terrorism in our religion is completely devoid." --You have stated our problem with Islam succinctly. If others don't submit, there is no peace, and terrorism relabeled "defense" so long as it is done to advance your religion. We await true reform that doesn't rely on such disingenuous word games.
I am sorry, I can’t change the truth “my belief” and reshape it in a way you and the others like or prefer it. Muslims aims and targets are Allaah “God” only not any single person in this word. Our duty is to show it to you only and then it’s up to you to accept.This is what our beloved prophet was doing and instructed us to do so.
In the end, your father (Adam) is my father and your mother (Eve) is my mother. So then;
why should we fight eachother?----WOW THAT RHYMES WELL!
Understand. Reflect. Change.
LOL. You're the ignorant one. Sorry you can't face reality, but that's a major symptom of the plague known as "political correctness." Your huffing and puffing about is quite amusing. All huffing and puffing and no substance or facts. Typical of PC MoonBats. Avoid reality at all costs, pretending everything is good and nothing deserves condemnation. How stupid, how willfully blind. Which is why you're a "Bat." The "Moon" part - well, you figure it out.
"It makes me angry that I—a Muslim on this campus, a moderate Muslim living her life normally—have to suffer great ignorance." Ignorance that is in fact readily apparent.
It is shameful that the students of an acclaimed educational institution can propagate such crude, insensitive remarks. Respect stems from basic human decency, and it incenses me that there is absolutely none to be perceived in the course of these comments. It is a disgusting, repulsive shame that your remarks stem not from decent and reliable, deliberate opinions, but from the ignorance and incapacity that seems to be bred into the likes of chauvinists like you. If you so dared, if you had an ounce of conviction that this author has, as those who have faith and confidence in their beliefs, whatever those may be, from Islam to Christianity to Judaism, if you perhaps were not preoccupied with your narrow-mindedness, then you would not dare to present such foolish, inane arguments surreptitiously in response to an article posted online. The thoughtlessness expressed here is demeaning not only to those who know they have voiced them, but to the larger Columbia community as a whole, as we are all a reflection of each other's words and actions to the communities beyond us. I suggest that before you make further comments or remarks, you forgive those eyes and ears who are forced to bear them, and make haste to better cultivate some level of sensibility and edification.
In addition, Muzlims are the biggest racists and bigots on the planet! They especially hate Jews - just consult the Qur'an - but Christians and Buddhists work fine as grist for their hate mill, too. Anyone not ISLAMIC.
Last words of Mohammed: "Curses Be Upon Jews and Christians." Feel the love! That Mohammed and his beheading sword - all about love! Just think about all of those thousands of Jewish and Christian males beheaded by Mohammed - it's all about love! And the thousands of Jewish and Christian females turned into slaves and concubines by Mohammed, after he murdered their husbands and fathers and brothers! Feel the love! That Mohammed - all about love! No wonder a Jewish woman poisoned him, after he beheaded all of her male relatives. YOU GO, GIRL!
People - See how Mohammedans try to silence those who speak out against Islam? Like Islam is perfect and no one should have a problem with it, lol!
These fake posts are the proverbial prima facie evidence of how Muslims love to MUZZLE!
MUZLIMS = MUZZLE. That works! Nope, no freedom of speech in Islam, or they'll get ya! What? No death threats against me yet? I'm surprised.
I'm sorry, I'll try to stop being an Islamophobic bigot. But are there any hotties on staff that are experiencing similiar problems shedding their racist hysteria?
I also have some difficulties around children, if you know what I mean, but that's a slightly different issue.
JORDAN
Spectator - could you please do something about the crazed Mohammedan pretending to be me and signing my name in caps as "JORDAN." Abdullah won't even use his name - a real coward, just like all Mohammedans! Oh, yeah, and a real name-caller! That's all they do - call people names! All spew, no substance.
Hey Abdullah - Why don't you stop foaming at the mouth and go get a tetanus shot? lol
Islam is not a religion of peace, Christianity is. That's what the Crusades, the massacre of the Native Americans, and Pat Robertson's support for the Iraq war as a cause "right out of the bible" are all about. Peace!
Look, I really want to apologize to everyone on this list, of all faiths and none, for my offensive-- and, I now realize, quite hysterically racist-- comments.
I had no idea that, as has been documented in studies conducted by John Hopkins University and others, hundreds and thousands of Iraqis have been killed since the USinvasion-- and that Blackwater mercenaries go around massacring civilians there while the CIA tortures people in secret dungeons. All this on top of the half a million Iraqi children killed by our sanctions during the 90s (UN figure). I also didn't realize that in 1948, Israeli Zionists violently terrorized and ethnically cleansed some 700,000 Palestinians off of their land to create the apartheid state of Israel-- and that Israel continues to massacre Palestinians and steal their land to this day (when it's not dropping bombs on other countries, ie. Lebanon). I also did not know that the US bankrolls the worst dictatorships in the Middle East while claiming the mantle of liberty, freedom, etc. etc.
You know, I don't know much about Islam at all and have no right to talk about it-- there are just as violent passages in the Old and New Testaments of the Bible, the Torah, and so on as there is in the Koran; why do I choose to only target the Koran? I guess because, until now, I've been a bigoted Islamophobe.
I want to encourage everyone on this list to reject racism in all forms, and also to read the work of the internationally acclaimed Jewish historian Ilan Pappe, whose book "The Ethnic Cleansing of Palestine" has helped to open my eyes. www.ilanpappe.org is a good place to start. I realize now that Israel doesn't "rule"-- and the United States invading other countries doesn't "rule" either.
Please-- I ask here for your forgiveness. But I still need a date, so if there are any open minded open-minded ladies out there, I'd love to tell you about how I stopped being a racist Islamophobic nutcase and started to realize that we're all citizens of the same world.
Peace,
JORDAN

THANKS JORDAN FOR YOUR ENLIGHTMENT, I was once attended a roundtable discussion with Muslims at international house-New York, and they opened my eyes about Islam. Indeed those exteremists are in a minority, and as we prejudice, that makes us the same as those few exteremists.
I willmake sure to read the book your recommended of historian Ilan pappe, "The Ethnic Cleansing of Palestine" may be it will help to give ideas of the problem.
YOU GO JORDAN!
Whoever you are, "Anonymous" - I wouldn't "apologize" to you for Mohammed's sword, lol!
The ONLY reason why Jesus and Moses are prophets in Islam is because Mohammed PLAGIARIZED from the already-extant religions of Judaism and Christianity. As both Jews and Christians lived in Arabia for thousands and hundreds of years, of course Mohammed knew about some parts of J and C - but not all, as the paucity and poverty of the Qur'an illustrates. Not only did Mo plagiarize people and stories from the OT and NT, he then twisted and perverted them to further his own ambitions of becoming a "prophet." Jesus is not the Son of God in the qur'an - and I reject that as a blatant lie. The reason why Mo rejected the divinity of Jesus is because the Moon deity, allah, had no son - just 3 daughters. You know that as well as me, I'm sure.
In addition to not being the Son of God in Islam, Islam also denies Jesus being crucified. Another blatant lie. In addition, Islam says that one day Jesus will return and assist his Master, "allah" (oh, yeah, Jesus is a "slave" to "allah" in Islam - HAHAHA!, in "breaking the cross and killing the swine." i.e., destroying Christianity and Judaism. That's the biggest blatant lie of all. Right, Uh huh, Jesus will be returning to assist "allah" the pagan moon deity in destroying C and J! In Mohammd's dreams (exactly).
Islam does not teach "humility." Mohammed proclaimed you the "superior peoples" and you know it! Just your saying I'm being "disrespectful" shows you think you're superior! I DO disrespect Islam for the pack of lies that it is, and I can feel that way! I don't have to kowtow to you! MANY people since the 7th century have doubted and outright disbelieved johnny-come-lately Mohammed's claims to "prophethood" - MANY. And I'm one of them. The Bible has over 40 authors, all telling a similar story. The qur'an? All you got is Mo. Mo and his constant rantings and ravings to "Slay the Infidel."
Muslims need to apologize "bigtime" for 9/11 and for all of the subsequent murders and mass-murders of innocent people worldwide. You mentioned Darfur. Yes, the Arab "janjaweed" needs to apologize bigtime for the mass-rape and mass-slaughter genocide of African Christians and animists. But, that will never happen. As Egyptian ex-Muslim Nonie Darwish has said, "Arab means never having to say you're sorry." Darwish is also an IFAW participant - read her book? --"Now They Call Me Infidel." She's speaking at Stanford, I believe.
Dear Zahra, I'm so sorry that Horowitz etal have "mischaracterized" Islam. To prove your point maybe you and a couple of your friends (say one Jewish & one Christian) could take a trip to the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia during the upcoming winter break (Christmas vacation). The purpose of the trip would be to show how "all three of you" could practice your individual faiths freely in KSA. Be sure you rent a car and drive your friends around the KSA and see the sites. If you are short of funds I would be glad to help subsidize the trip. This type of interfaith trip would help to dispel any "mischaracterazation" of your peaceful faith.
Peace Roscoe
Jordan,
One point-you really need to get your facts right. First off, Islam does have something to do with Christianity and Judaism. In fact, they are linked historically. Did you know Jesus is a prophet in Islam? Did you know Moses is a prophet in Islam?
Secondly, as the article points out, the people that are killing are EXTREMISTS!!! Can't you read? And then, what about the Palestinians? What about THEIR home, their land, their nation? They are suffering for the Nazi peoples' crimes. Why? What justice is that?
What about Guantanamo? What about Darfur? What about IRAQ for crying out loud. THOUSANDS of people are dying today because of that..
Also, who ever said that we think we're better than everyone else? Islam teaches humility...
I think you are being very disrespectful, and you ought to apologize big time.
Hey perv, you claim that: " who ever said that we think we're better than everyone else? Islam teaches humility..."
A fatwa issued in August 2007 by the secretary-general of the Assembly of Muslim Jurists in America (AMJA), Dr. Sheikh Salah Al-Sawy, states that marriage between a Muslim woman and a non-Muslim man is forbidden and invalid, and that children born of such a union are illegitimate.
The following are excerpts from the fatwa, which was posted on the website www.islamonline.net/servlet/sa...
"Marriage between a Muslim woman and a non-Muslim [man] is forbidden and invalid - that is a consensus among Muslims. A [Muslim] woman who has taken the liberty [of marrying a non-Muslim man] has removed herself from the fold of the Muslim community - and one who has done so knowing that it is wrong, has done something strictly forbidden, and has committed an open [act of] abomination that may hurl her into the abyss of heresy and apostasy.
"Some clerics hold that [a Muslim woman who marries a non-Muslim man] is considered a heretic from the very beginning [i.e. from the moment she marries], since the bond of marriage allows her to have sexual relations and intercourse [with her husband], and to take pleasure [in this], and it is inconceivable that she should commit the crime [of having intercourse] without the sanction [of a valid marriage].
"The wisdom of the religious ban [against the marriage of a Muslim woman to a non-Muslim man lies in] its preventing [the woman] from being tempted away from her faith. The Koran justifies this ban by saying that these marriages 'beckon [the believer] to the Fire [of Hell; Koran 2:221].' In other words, they lead to sins that doom [the sinner] to Hell... since [the woman] may be tempted to renounce [Islam], to doubt [the truth of] Islam, and to disparage its religious rituals.
"Woman is weak by nature, and the guardianship of a [non-Muslim] man affects her powers of reasoning. [Marriage to a non-Muslim] may thus cause a woman to follow the ways [of her husband], or at least to abandon her [own] religion and neglect its rituals. [By so doing,] she is neither a Muslim nor one of the People of the Book [i.e. a Christian or Jew like her husband]...
SO YA WANNA EXPLAIN YOUR HUMILITY........HUH ?? Muslim men can marry Women of the Book (Jews & Christians) BUT NO NO NO a Muslima CAN NOT MARRY A MAN OF THE BOOK.......
Yah Mon that's real humility.........you got some MO .....BS????
LOL, here's the "brotherhood" instructed by the Koran:
"Let not believers take infidels (Jews and Christians) for their friends rather than believers: whoso shall do this hath nothing to hope from God." (3:27).
If the Infidels (Jews and Christians) don't desist from their Judaism and Christianity ("unbelief") - here's what "allah" has in store for them (us): "Fight then against them till strife be at an end, and the religion be all of it Allah's." (8:40). As Mohammed said, "I have been made victorious through terror." --Mohammed, the self-proclaimed Terrorist.
Uh Huh, gotta love that Koranic "brotherhood." Uh, we can read, Muslims. We can also interpret. And, hey, Westerners can even draw conclusions after reading and interpreting! So, stop with all of that "misunderstanding" cr**. You're NOT the "superior peoples' as liar Mo told you. I would nominate one-celled sea creatures to be superior.
"anonymous," everyone on here is "anonymous" but me. I have no idea which one you are. But, I responded to certain things said and stand by my responses. Why don't you register with your name?
Oh, to the "anonymous" who took the time to quote from the qur'an and ahadith - bravo! You are right - Islam is violent. You know your stuff. Thanks for posting those. Of course, PC'ers will be "fact-proof" to the evidence.
In addition, it's important to remember that to Muslims, the qur'an is eternal. It never changes, it always stays the same. Therefore, "Anyone who kills an Infidel is guaranteed Paradise" remains a constant, living command. Forever. Among many other examples. Because of this "eternal" nature of the qur'an, which also can't be questioned or reformed, there will never be an end to Islamic Terrorism.
So, save your Bible verses, PC'ers! Jews don't stone women. Whereas in Iran right now there are 8 women imprisoned waiting for their execution by stoning. NOW. TODAY.
So funny! You MUSLIMS have been fighting each other since 632 when Mohammed died as to who is the true successor! And you're still murdering each other over that idiocy TODAY! That's called "sunni/shia!" Oh, and btw, love your hate-filled "curses", anonymous, - just like how false "prophet" Mo's last words were, "Curses Be Upon Jews and Christians!" Yep, you're a Mohammedan, that's apparent! BTW, Islam has NOTHING to do with Judaism and Christianity. Mohammed plagiarized from already-extant texts, and in many instances, he didn't even get it right! For example, "allah" confusing Saul with Gideon (2:249), "allah" confusing Moses' sister Miriam with Mary, the mother of Jesus (3:35-40), "allah" declaring that Mary was part of the Trinity (4:171 -172). Now, how does "all-knowing allah" get these things wrong, LOL!! No, Mohammed got 'em wrong, that's the deal. Also, love how "all-knowing allah" claims that the sun sets in a pool of black mud (18:84)! Hmm... that sounds like a 7th century illiterate Bedouin's idea to me. Also, how Mo said that allah said that "the devil lives in people's noses at night!" HARDEE-HAR-HAR!
Re: "leave us alone" - What, are you joking?
It's YOU Muslims who have been murdering and mass-murdering people on a grand scale since and including 9/11! YOU leave US alone! Stop murdering Buddhists in Thailand! Stop murdering African Christians in Darfur! Stop exploding people in the US and London and Madrid and everywhere else you've TRIED to, but were thwarted in time. Such as in Germany a few weeks ago. Just who do you people think you are? I realize that Mohammed told you that you're the "Superior Peoples'" - well, you need to get over that cr** now, 'cause you ain't. Get over yourselves.
As for your "address" of "allah" - LOL!!!! Sorry, but no one's home. There is no "Martyr Ave.," unless you want to re-name hell that? You've been so deluded, so taken-in, so flim-flammed, by Megalomaniacal Mo, the false "prophet." (P.S. "allah" is a pre-Islamic pagan Moon deity, a rock idol. There is no "allah").
Finally, to automatically "respect" something just because it's a person's "faith" is so stupid it defies belief that someone at Columbia would say that! Ok, well, Jim Jones of Guyana fame and David Koresh of Waco fame had their own "faiths." So, let's just automatically respect 'em, right? What an idiotic statement!
Jordan... I think you have got the wrong end of the stick. Please read through the dialogue again - the posts are not in the correct order, and in one of them, I quote from the initial reply so the entire post is a 'he said, she said' thing...
I think you're completely mistaken. If you want me to spell it out for you, Sahih Bukhari is used mainly by one particular sect of Islam, called Sunnism. That means: not every other sect uses it. Got it? Or should I try and spell it out again?
Secondly, no offense on your analysis but Sahih Bukhari is actually not a holy scripture.
Thirdly, Christianity, Judaism and Islam are very similar and according to the Qur'an (which is the actual way you spell it), brotherhood is encouraged. When you're referencing that quote or statement about Jews and Muslims not getting along, it probably relates to a historical event where there was a conflict and battle for property.
I'm disappointed that in an academic institution, you think this way. There should be a respect for all faiths and what they believe in.
As I said before, oh dear, here we go again.....
Yes, Sunniism is just one of the sects, but the largest. You may have noticed that there were quotes from several hadith collectiions and The Koran/Qu'ran/Q'ran/Coran of which all spellings are correct as they are transliterated from another alphabet. You will find each in current use. Regarding 'holy scriptures" if you check you will find I did not use the word 'holy' as I consider them anything but holy, and I used the plural, uncapitalised. I have pasted the relevant entry from Webster's to allow you to see the difference.
Respect is something that is earned.
Judaism, Christianity and Islam have done little to earn my respect. Each bombing, book burning and holy war destroys any hope of that changing. I just long for the day when religious people of any of the Abrahamic faiths before battle, instead of praying that (God/Allah/Jaweh) is on their side that they start prayng that they are on (His/Hers/Its) side.
Stop demanding respect and start earning it.
Scripture
Function: noun
Etymology: Middle English, from Late Latin scriptura, from Latin, act or product of writing, from scriptus
1 a (1) capitalized : the books of the Bible -- often used in plural (2) often capitalized : a passage from the Bible b : a body of writings considered sacred or authoritative
2 : something written
I don't think that it's fair to use texts like Sahih Bukhari because firstly, not every Muslim follows that text. Secondly, you haven't explained the relevance of each statement and it's context. That's like taking a sentence out of a book and justifying its meaning in another context. Thirdly there are various KINDS of Muslims, each believing DIFFERENT things and following DIFFERENT people and sayings.
And lastly, you've just listed everything supposedly wrong with Islam. I could do the same for Christianity and Judaism but then again, I don't think I'd want to stoop down to your level.
Oh dear here we go again....
I don't think that it's fair to use texts like Sahih Bukhari because firstly, not every Muslim follows that text.
You mean I should only quote the bits you want me to quote?
Secondly, you haven't explained the relevance of each statement and it's context. That's like taking a sentence out of a book and justifying its meaning in another context.
I provided no context and no comment, and therefore make no statement about context. The 'out of context" argument is a sophism. Please tell me when:
"the end of days will not come until Muslims kill the Jews until even the rocks and trees cry out 'Muslim, there is a Jew behind me. Come and kill him' except for the Jew trees" would actually be in context.
Thirdly there are various KINDS of Muslims, each believing DIFFERENT things and following DIFFERENT people and sayings.
There is one Koran.
And lastly, you've just listed everything supposedly wrong with Islam.
No, I did not. I just quoted from your scriptures. If you have a problem with the words, please address any correspondence to: Allah, Rapture House, Avenue of the Glorious Martyrs, Heaven.
I could do the same for Christianity and Judaism but then again, I don't think I'd want to stoop down to your level.
I don't give a damn about Christianity or Judaism. As far as I am concerned, a curse on all your houses. You lot have been fighting each other for milenia, in what is essentially a family feud over who should have inherited great uncle Abraham's silver candlesticks .... or is that Menorah. I just wish you would sort it out and leave the rest of us alone.
This is why we think Islam is violent:

Then although there came to them Our messengers with clear signs, yet, even after that, many of them continued to commit excesses in the land.

The punishment of those who wage war against Allah and His Messenger, and strive with might and main for mischief through the land is: execution, or crucifixion, or the cutting off of hands and feet from opposite sides, or exile from the land: that is their disgrace in this world, and a heavy punishment is theirs in the Hereafter;
