The Zennist says it’s okay to be Islamophobic

The term “Islamophobia” is not a new term but one that’s been around as far as I can tell since 1991 and was later defined by the Runnymede Trust in 1997 as “an outlook or world-view involving an unfounded dread and dislike of Muslims, which results in practices of exclusion and discrimination.”

But now we need to ask ourselves if a fear or phobia of Islam is unfounded?  Shining a historical light on Islam’s 1400 years of existence, for Buddhists, Hindus and Africans such a fear is certainly well founded. Buddhists and Hindus suffered what could only be called ‘genocide’ under Muslim forces that invaded the Indian subcontinent from the 12th to the 16th century.  Turning to Africa, it is estimated that 120,000,000 Africans have been killed to furnish Islam with its profits from slavery.  Nor should it be forgotten that earlier Muslim forces were constantly making inroads into Europe fighting many, many battles from 640 to the 20th century!  

All the military actions by Islamic forces directed against nonbelievers fall under the rubric of Jihad, the Muslim equivalent of the Crusades.  But while the Crusades have ceased which are not part of the New Testament, Jihad still continues to this day and will likely continue into the future since it is part of the Quran (164 Jihad verses are contained within the Quran; few if any of the so-called ‘holy war’ verses have been abrogated).

Unlike Buddhism, Islam is not a religion of toleration or compassion in which violence is rejected.  Violence is an important part of Islam—there would be no Islam without the sword. There are over a hundred verses in the Quran that call on Muslims to war with nonbelievers like Hindus and Buddhists. Islam is thus not a religion of peace but, instead, a religion of submission which is the more accurate definition of “Islam”.   

The real history of Islam does not chime with the current European politically correct view of Islam which is largely a work of propaganda in such examples as, Guidelines for Educators on Countering Intolerance and Discrimination against Muslims: Addressing Islamophobia through Education, published by OSCE/ODIHR, Council of Europe, UNESCO, 2011.  Reading this publication and other’s like it, one would never learn the slightest thing about Islam, not even the name of Islam’s most holy book.  One just assumes that all Muslims are like innocent newborn babes who bear no malice towards their non-Muslim hosts—and that anyone who discriminates against Muslims out of fear is a hate filled psychopath!

Without exception, new immigrants have always been on the low end of the totem pole in any country.  Read the history of the Irish coming to America or the Chinese.  But none as I recall were given the red carpet treatment like Muslims who are permitted to rape, rob and murder—almost with impunity when they enter the EU, for example.

I dare say there is a sinister reason for such toleration on the part of the EU, the UK and even in the US.  It comes from the mouth of Peter Sutherland, one time Director-General of the WTO and its principle architect who was also the former Chairman of Goldman Sachs International.  He said:

“I will ask the governments to cooperate, to recognise that sovereignty is an illusion. Borders are outdated. And that means taking on old shibboleths, some of the old historic memories and images of our own country and recognising that we’re part of humankind.”

Sutherland is really saying that he is asking governments to put an end to themselves and let in the Muslim hordes to further destroy ‘old shibboleths’, a code word for Western culture. 

Let’s be clear about one thing, Sutherland and his elitist ilk are evil men.  Their evil hides behind the mask of multiculturalism and political correctness.  Right now they have more use for Islam because of its history of intolerance and violence.  In this regard, neither Christianity nor Buddhism mean anything to them—nor will the deaths of those who will die in future terrorist attacks.  After every terrorist attack, the unelected elitists who run the EU will once again claim to know better than anyone else what to do about terrorism — but nothing will actually change.  Their plan is still the same, get rid of old shibboleths.

I am from Europe (Germany). Let me assure you that rape, robbery and murder are punished here, and Muslims do not get away with them either.

Anyone seeking refuge in samsara will surely be disappointed by something.

I knew a few Muslim while I was in college.

Some of them committed date rape on Asian and white female classmates I used to know. Koran says it is OK for Muslim to rape, murder and steal from infidels and non-believers. So don't kid yourself.

They just wait until their population becomes a majority in the West, then they will tell you to CONVERT or DIE!

Of course, in my experience, most Westerners are too stupid to see this.

I knew a Muslim grocer who purposely sold (not sure if he still owns a store at this moment) me tainted meat which he should have thrown out after the expiration date.

You see, for him, I was just another infidel..........in his eyes, there is NO morality issue when dealing with non-Muslims. He could care less if I or you get food poisoning. And that makes him and the Muslim like him 'dangerous'....

The Zennist's words are golden, but to you dimwitted infidels, these advises mean nothing.

The current American mindset about empirical evidence is that "If it sounds like a fact, then it is a fact."

The derivative outcome of any such mindset, prone to any form of such an incipient and reductive form of stupefying supposition, is at best quite dangerous, to say the least.

It serves as a foundation for sheer corruption, and self-annihilation. Simply put it is a path of entropy that never ends well for any individual, group, or even nation.

Your article about the Islamic threat, and especially it´s historical background, is indeed valid on all points, though in reality, things were much, much worse, considering the false base of what is deemed as a mere offshoot of that artificial religion and Deity known as the God of Abraham.

The expansion of Islam and the Islamophobic reactions are a mere contemporary anaphylactic shock in the human psyche towards something that it "spiritually" has started to realize is unreal, and belonging to a karmic part of its biological history no longer in line with its present position as an evolving civilization.

Before the presence of the first enlightenment, evolution is always painful wherever it takes place. This is as valid whether it takes place in a spiritual reality within the realm of the True and liberated Mind, or in the external phenomenological spatio-temporal continuum based mind.

It is the letting go of what I addressed as incipient and reductive forms of stupefying suppositions about what True Reality, and that which comes with it, really is.

Yeti: So have I, many times (blue collar Muslims). They are secular Muslims like most Christians. It still doesn't change the Quran and the fact that there are fanatical Quran thumping Muslims who kill in the name of Allah. Islam needs a reformation; it needs to leave literalism and not repeat history.
