The Jihad Joke

A quote from Jack Wheeler on tothepointnews.com, 10 February 2006

Islam is a mechanistic religion (an awful pun could be made here about it being Mecca-nistic, but let’s not go there). It is a shame religion. It is a religion of appearance rather than substance. Everything is about outward appearance, humiliation and shame, robotically and unthinkingly repeating the same exact word-for-word prayers five times a day at precisely the same times. The Koran is not a book to be read, it is a chant to be robotically recited in order to put one into an unthinking trance.

As such it is an impersonal religion, an un-individual religion in which the Moslem believer has no personal relationship with God – as the Christian believer does. This is the great gulf between Christianity and Islam. Christianity is based on individuality, upon an individual choice to request his personal salvation. […] Islam is based on submission, not choice. As you know, that’s what the very word “Islam” means in Arabic: submission – the submission of one’s mind and capacity for choice to blind dogmatic belief.

[…] We’re in a war, a street fight war, and the only way you win a street fight is not to fight fair. This war is often called a “War of Ideas.” Not exactly. That’s way too intellectual. This is fundamentally a psychological war, a Psy-Ops war, which means to win we must attack and destroy the enemies’ minds. We must infect their minds with the mental virus of doubt.

Once the infection has done its job, we can then urge upon them the inoculation – a form of Islam called Sufism. Sufism is the peaceful Islamic alternative to traditional orthodox Jihad Islam.

Sufism teaches that the path to Islamic enlightenment is not through compulsion of any kind, but through a personal ecstatic experience of the Divine. It thus renders Moslems individual human beings who see other people, non-Moslems, as fellow human beings, not alien things which can be killed or terrorized without remorse.

Sufism is the human form of Islam. […] It’s Islam’s future. Jihad Islam is a lethal joke, and instilling doubt is the way to kill it off.
