Barack Obama has said repeatedly that Islam is “a
religion of peace.” His administration has accused those who do not agree with
this proposition — or who dare mention Islamic violence against women and
homicidal oppression of homosexuals — of “Islamophobia.”
These are fictions and the President has done the country
a fundamental disservice by promulgating them. The truth? The true religious
bigotry is the one that exists in the heart of Islamic orthodoxy. In Saudi
Arabia, the existence of Christian churches is prohibited, along with the Bible
itself; no Christian or Jew can enter Mecca or Medina lest their mere footsteps
desecrate Islam’s holiest sites. In Pakistan and Afghanistan and elsewhere in
the Muslim world, conversion from Islam to Christianity is punishable by death.
In Iraq, Syria, Nigeria and even the President’s beloved Indonesia, Christians,
Hindus, Buddhists and other “infidels” often face acts of religious genocide by
fundamentalists who invoke core Islamic texts and teachings to justify their actions……Gregory
III, the Patriarch of Antioch of the Melkite Greek Catholic Church, stated in
2006: “After September 11, there is a
plot to eliminate all the Christian minorities from the Arabic world.”
Nor is it just the Arab Middle East…..“When Pakistan came
into existence in 1947, 24 per cent of the population were Hindus. And now look
at the percentage of Hindus in Pakistan, just below 2 per cent. What happened
to the rest? Majority of them have been mercilessly killed by the Islamic
fanatics and the rest forcibly converted to Islam.” …..To Read More….
