The list of violent acts committed in the name of Islam

Islamophobia???



It has become common for the term "Islamophobia" to be applied to those who are willing to speak out against Islam and the violent acts committed by Muslims across the world in the name of that religion. The term itself, according to Claire Berlinski (see berlinski.com), was created by The Institute for Islamic Thought which is located in Northern Virginia and is reported to be a front group for the Muslim Brotherhood. By its very nature, the word attempts to assign some sort of mental dysfunction to any who oppose Islam as the definition of a phobia is as follows: Phobia: "an exaggerated, inexplicable and illogical fear of a particular object or class of objects." Reference: Webster's New Collegiate Dictionary, 1977 Edition.
Given that definition and the quotations and facts listed below we can certainly ask the question "Is it a "phobia" to fear Islam? The following referenced quotations are taken from the Quran. Quran (2:191-193) - "And kill them wherever you find them, and turn them out from where they have turned you out. And Al-Fitnah [disbelief or unrest] is worse than killing...
but if they desist, then lo! Allah is forgiving and merciful. And fight them until there is no more Fitnah [disbelief and worshipping of others along with Allah] and worship is for Allah alone. But if they cease, let there be no transgression except against Az-Zalimun(the polytheists, and wrong-doers, etc.)" Quran (2:216) - "Fighting is prescribed for you, and ye dislike it. But it is possible that ye dislike a thing which is good for you, and that ye love a thing which is bad for you. But Allah knoweth, and ye know not." Quran (3:151) - "Soon shall We cast terror into the hearts of the Unbelievers, for that they joined companions with Allah, for which He had sent no authority" Quran (4:74) - "Let those fight in the way of Allah who sell the life of this world for the other. Whoso fighteth in the way of Allah, be he slain or be he victorious, on him We shall bestow a vast reward." Quran (4:76) - "Those who believe fight in the cause of Allah..."

Quran (4:89) - "They but wish that ye should reject Faith, as they do, and thus be on the same footing (as they): But take not friends from their ranks until they flee in the way of Allah (From what is forbidden). But if they turn renegades, seize them and slay them wherever ye find them; and (in any case) take no friends or helpers from their ranks." Quran (5:33) - "The punishment of those who wage war against Allah and His messenger and strive to make mischief in the land is only this, that they should be murdered or crucified or their hands and their feet should be cut off on opposite sides or they should be imprisoned; this shall be as a disgrace for them in this world, and in the hereafter they shall have a grievous chastisement" Quran (8:12) - "I will cast terror into the hearts of those who disbelieve. Therefore strike off their heads and strike off every fingertip of them" Quran (17:16) - "And when We wish to destroy a town, We send Our commandment to the people of it who lead easy lives, but they transgress therein; thus the word proves true against it, so We destroy it with utter destruction." Quran (47:3-4) - "Those who disbelieve follow falsehood, while those who believe follow the truth from their Lord... So, when you meet (in fight Jihad in Allah's Cause), those who disbelieve smite at their necks till when you have killed and wounded many of them, then bind a bond firmly (on them, i.e. take them as captives)... If it had been Allah's Will, He Himself could certainly have punished them (without you). But (He lets you fight), in order to test you, some with others. But those who are killed in the Way of Allah, He will never let their deeds be lost." Quran (48:29) - "Muhammad is the messenger of Allah. And those with him are hard (ruthless) against the disbelievers and merciful among themselves" Quran (61:4) - "Surely Allah loves those who fight in His cause"

The above quotations from the Quran are very clear. It is the duty of those of the Islamic faith to either convert or to wage war against all who are not Muslims. In addition, Islam divides the world into two distinctly defined parts. Those territories under Islamic control are known as "Dar al-Islam" or "The Land of Islam" and those territories not under Islamic control are referred to as "Dar al-Harb" or "The Land of War". The following is a list of acts of violence committed in the name of Islam in non-Muslim countries in 2015-2016.* France January 7-9, 2015--A series of five attacks in and around Paris kill 17 people, plus three attackers, and leave 22 other people injured.

It should be noted that nowhere within this article has the author expressed any personal opinions regarding the term "Islamophobia", Islam, the Quran or Muslim people. The definition of a phobia comes directly from Webster's Dictionary. The quotations come directly from the Quran. The list of violent acts committed in the name of Islam can easily be confirmed from news sources. Given these facts it should be painfully clear that Islam openly defines itself, by word and deed to be a real and physical danger to those who are not Muslim. Conclusion: When a clear and present danger exists, it simply cannot be illogical to recognize it as such and to warn others about it and doing either can in no way ever be a "phobia". * The above list includes only attacks carried out by Muslims in basically non-Muslim countries. During the same period of time (2015 through mid-July 2016) there were 135 additional attacks carried out by Muslims in predominately Muslim countries. Source: Wikipedia.
