I am sick of reading that NOT all Muslims are terrorists, as if anyone with with one ounce of sense didn’t know it! Yes it’s true that not all Muslims are terrorists, anyone that promulgates such an idea is totally ignorant, not to say ill informed. And yet the mere mention of the terms “Terror attack”, or “Terrorist,” or “Suicide Bomber” inevitably, but unfortunately, makes most of us associate such expressions with ‘Islam’, which leads us on to the word ‘Muslims’, because obviously Muslim are adherents to that faith. I guess it’s just the way it is, we have to admit the obvious connection there, I mean It’s not as though the Amish or Buddhists come to mind is it, not nowadays? I cannot think of another religion in modern times that has a more violent identity as Islam has, there is no denying the facts. However, most politicians, journalists, ignore the elephant in the room, (in fact they fear to even mention it, being far too PC) and that is ‘Islam’ itself. Islam, with its many severe Quaranic doctrines which are utilised, in seeming obedience to them, by Extremist Muslims to make terror upon the world, yes ISLAM ! There is little point in ignoring the fact that Islamic terror is closely connected to the very root of Islam and its teachings and doctrines, and very deeply, it is intrinsically connected!



The so called “Moderate Muslims” will say that ISIS , (including the rest of the extremist Islamic groups) do NOT represent them, or Islam in a true way, and misrepresent Islam and pervert Islamic doctrine to their own advantage, but is this true. Would the fact that just because they consider themselves “moderate Muslims”, (who claim the moral high ground) would that mean that their Islamic faith, in general, has nothing AT ALL to do with any extreme ideologies… I.e. Islamic terrorists, ISIS , etc? I do not believe that such a claim is true. I shall explain why. I have had discussions with many Muslim Groups, some of which we would consider reasonably moderate and mainstream, and I found them to be so. They claim to have a healthy respect for other religions and for human rights and to some degree freedom of speech, but only to a certain degree. But on the other hand, I met many who were extreme in their willingness to support such ideas as Sharia Law, being a good thing for western countries, this whether the none Muslim population wanted it or not. This later group were quite prepared to condone the 9-11 attack, the Paris attacks, and other atrocities in general. I am not saying that they were necessarily ‘total’ ISIS sympathisers, or that they would act in an extreme ways themselves. However, I got the distinct impression that they thought that all actions perpetrated by ISIS in making Jihad on the west, were totally backed up by the Quran doctrinally, showing me verses from the book in an effort to prove so.



The serious point I am making here is this: All sects of Islam have their own interpretations of how their holy book should read, and to what degree its doctrines and laws should be taken literally and therefore applied upon the Muslim world, and by extension upon the whole world, (for “that is our vision” so I was told.) This confusion is deeply problematic for Islam and the differing Muslim beliefs is very widespread throughout the whole Muslim world. This is so much the case that it is impossible to pin one belief system down as the correct one, not that this is possible to do anyway, I have no interest as to which is considered the ‘right one’ (It is a moot point to make here anyway, as I don’t really care who is correct nor is that of issue here.)



As far as I can see ALL the extremist murdering ideologies are applying what is written in the Quran. They can point you to chapter and verse and tell you what it means to them. Yes, THEM !… which is the vital point here., what it means to THEM ! And as far as I understand it, and from what they quoted to me, it can indeed be interpreted the way they indeed apply it, and read it. Of course the opposite Moderate Muslim opinions would also prevail out there, amidst the doctrinal confusion. BUT WHO THE HELL IS RIGHT ? Don’t get me wrong, ISIS should be condemned as the sheer murderous psychopaths they are, but what worries me is that they ‘think’ their version of ISLAM is the right one, who of us can contradict them, and I take their word for it. You and I know that they are certainly wrong in their belief, evidently so, based upon their deeds of evil alone, they must be wrong! Nevertheless, it seems that they have some reasonable doctrinal justification for what they do and how they act, well don’t they? From what I read in the Quran they most certainly do! I have seen countless films showing thousands, (if not more) of various nationalities of Muslims celebrating on the streets over the deaths of the ‘infidels’, of the USA , of other tragic death tolls elsewhere in the world. I have seen many Muslims celebrating the deaths of cartoonists whose only crime was to cherish freedom of speech, in Denmark, Holland and Sweden. Further leading to more deaths and the destruction of buildings and the Danish embassy. The list of Muslim celebrations is endless, in Pakistan, Iran, Saudi, Mali, Yemen. Even in the streets of Europe, in the “no go zones” of Sweden. We are not talking about a few nut-cases here, we are talking of many tens of thousand Muslims who scream out with vitriolic vengeance, for some reason not understandable to anyone with a reasoned sensible mind. There are enough of these types to be a threat to the freedom loving peoples of the west and the world in general and I know it worries us, rightfully so. Such extremist Islamic fervor is easily seen on-line and on YouTube, go and have a look if you doubt me.



I would like to ask: Who ARE all these Muslims who seem to sympathise with ISIS , condoning the deaths and murders of innocents, along with those slaughtered in Paris? I agree they are not part of ISIS , they do not claim to be either, not officially. They are perhaps not even associated with any of the extreme groups. And YET !… they somehow find themselves sympathising with them, why is this so? What authority do they point to, to appease and support their vehemently held feelings of outage? The answer: the same book that Moderate Muslims also use, The Quran! I repeat, the reason Islam is partly to blame for Terrorist attacks is because Islamists can find a reason to justify everything they do in their evil actions, a pretext within the version of the Quran they ‘choose’ to believe in and in the way they choose to interpret it. There is no ‘Pope like figurehead’ that rules over Islam, so as to harmonise them in unity, I wish there were, because such an Islamic Pontiff could perhaps institute some order within Islam, some doctrinal belief system that all Muslims would be forced to follow under his command. If they chose not to conform to that standard then they could be excommunicated from the faith and discredited accordingly. Instead, what we see in Islam is a total ‘free for all’. Mullahs say this and that. Imams say and preach the opposite. Clerics teach this doctrine and that belief, and affirm that their version is the total truth. They do this to all who will listen until they adhere to their specific dogma, often leading to radicalization, depending on the technique used. All This, DEPENDING ON THE SECT THEY INDIVIDUALLY BELONG TO. What exists therefore is utter Islamic confusion leading to the most cruel violence by its brain washed adherents, Muslims. The problem is, as I have stated, it is Islam! plain and simple, Islam is at the root of the problem, and no one on the planet can say that the killing and violent attacks perpetrated by extremist Muslims on innocents, no one can say “It has nothing to do with Islam”, because it has everything to do with Islam. (See you on the Cruise)
