03 May 2011 By Juan Cole Yesterday, Bryan Fischer of the
American Family
Association wrote in his blog that since
"tyranny is in the DNA of Islam," the only way for
democracy to emerge in a Muslim country is for the
U.S. to bring about "a mass conversion of its people
to biblical Christianity." On his radio show Focal
Point, Fischer reiterated his belief that the U.S.
"should be sending missionaries in right after we send
in the Marines," warning that if Muslims refuse to
convert: "This time it's Marines and missionaries,
next time it'll be Marines and missiles." The only thing that will give us a shot at building
a democracy in an Islamic land is a mass conversion of
its people to biblical Christianity. So that means if
we want to see freedom come to those darkened,
benighted lands, we should be sending missionaries in
right after we send in the Marines to neutralize
whatever threat has been raised against the United
States. So we say to them, look, if you don't want our
missionaries, fine, that's your choice, we'll take our
missionaries and our Marines, we'll take them home,
but we're gonna let you know we have no hesitation
about returning with lethal force if the forces in
your country threaten us again. This time it's Marines
and missionaries, next time it'll be Marines and
missiles. In an article from April 18, 2011, titled Iran's Thug in Chief blames West for Middle East Unrest, another one of Robert Spencer‘s outspoken Zombie-like followers calls for the West to destroy Muslim holy sites: Melouis wrote: All this underscores the need for the West to apply the lessons of WW2 to the Islamisist threat. The lesson was that when we destroyed the false gods of the Japanese Imperial fascists, and when we destroyed the false gods of the Germans and discredited their ideology, then and only then were millions of Japanese and millions of Germans capable of adopting a new world view. As a result, they are today, our allies and friends,(for the most part, we are not talking Utopia here)whereas before they were committed to our destruction.
It is quite a fetish for anti-Muslims to dream of destroying Mecca, Medina and the Dome of the Rock. We've had looniest blogger Pamela Geller, Krazy Joe Kaufman, Michael "Weiner" Savage, someone named Bob Beers, Tom Trancredo, etc call for nuking or destroying Muslim countries and holy sites in the past. Robert Spencer himself says he is opposed to nuking Mecca, not out of any sort of principled stand (this is the guy who supports the Genocide of Turks after all) but because it wouldn't be a good ‘tactical move' –which makes you wonder if he is really against the idea? The Nuclear Card option forwarded by the Spencerite is the wet-dream of all wacko Islamophobes, and is probably the reason that Robert Spencer didn't moderate it and similar comments. Pravin Singh Beheads his Girlfriend, What if he were Muslim? Remember the Muslim man who behead his wife? It was all over the news and Islamophobes made big hay out of it. Turning a tragic case of domestic violence into a Crusade against Islam. Bill Maher also attributed the act to Islam. Now we have a case of a man named Pravin Singh, likely Sikh or Hindu who beheaded his girlfriend in front of her classmates. Will we blame Sikhism or Hinduism now? No, that would be wrongheaded and illogical but just imagine if he were Muslim! hat tip: Daniel Bijendra Kumar, India Beheading Suspect, Accused Of Cutting Girlfriend's Head Off With Knife PATNA, India — Police say that a man armed with a large knife beheaded an 18-year-old woman at her school in front of her horrified classmates in eastern India. The attacker later told police he was in love with the victim but her parents wouldn't allow them to marry. Police official Pravin Kumar Singh said Thursday that officers arrested Bijendra Kumar on suspicion of killing Khushbu, who uses only one name. He allegedly attacked her a ceremonial curved weapon called a khukri as she was leaving her classroom Wednesday in the eastern city of Ranchi. Authorities say the blade sliced her head off and she died instantly. Kumar was quickly mobbed by the other students and handed over to the police. Singh says Kumar told the police that he had also intended to kill himself. |
