The Complete List of Obama Statement Expiration Dates

By popular demand, a comprehensive list of expired Obama statements...

HEALTH CARE MANDATES

STATEMENT: “We've got a philosophical difference, which we've debated repeatedly, and that is that Senator Clinton believes the only way to achieve universal health care is to force everybody to purchase it. And my belief is, the reason that people don't have it is not because they don't want it but because they can't afford it.” Barack Obama, speaking at a Democratic presidential debate, February 21, 2008.

EXPIRATION DATE: On March 23, 2010, Obama signed the individual mandate into law.

HEALTH CARE NEGOTIATIONS ON C-SPAN

Obama initially had asked Attorney General Eric H. Holder Jr. to choose the site of the trial in an effort to maintain an independent Justice Department. But the White House has been taken aback by the intense criticism from political opponents and local officials of Holder's decision to try Khalid Sheik Mohammed in a civilian courtroom in New York.”

STATEMENT: “We will launch a sweeping effort to root out waste, inefficiency, and unnecessary spending in our government, and every American will be able to see how and where we spend taxpayer dollars by going to a new website called recovery.gov.” – President Obama, January 28, 2009

EXPIRATION DATE: “More than two months after some of the funds were released, [Recovery.gov] offers little detail on where the money is going… The government [spent] $84 million on a website that doesn't have a search function, when its purpose is to ‘root out waste, inefficiency, and unnecessary spending in our government.’” April 2, 2009

Eighteen from his first 100 days:

1. "As President I will recognize the Armenian Genocide."

5. "If we see money being misspent, we're going to put a stop to it, and we will call it out and we will publicize it."

6. "Yesterday, Jim, the head of Caterpillar, said that if Congress passes our plan, this company will be able to rehire some of the folks who were just laid off."

7. "I want to go line by line through every item in the Federal budget and eliminate programs that don't work, and make sure that those that do work work better and cheaper."

8. "[My plan] will not help speculators who took risky bets on a rising market and bought homes not to live in but to sell."

9. "Instead of allowing lobbyists to slip big corporate tax breaks into bills during the dead of night, we will make sure every single tax break and earmark is available to every American online."

10. "We can no longer accept a process that doles out earmarks based on a member of Congress's seniority, rather than the merit of the project."

11. "If your family earns less than $250,000 a year, you will not see your taxes increased a single dime. I repeat: not one single dime."

12. "Barack Obama and Joe Biden believe the United States has to be frank with the Chinese about such failings and will press them to respect human rights."

13. "We must take out Osama bin Laden and his lieutenants if we have them in our sights."

14. "Lobbyists won’t work in my White House!"

15. "The real gamble in this election is playing the same Washington game with the same Washington players and expecting a different result."

16. "I'll make oil companies like Exxon pay a tax on their windfall profits, and we'll use the money to help families pay for their skyrocketing energy costs and other bills."

17. "Obama will not sign any non-emergency bill without giving the American public an opportunity to review and comment on the White House website for five days." Obama is 1-for-11 on this promise so far.

18. A special one on the 100th day, "the first thing I'd do as President is sign the Freedom of Choice Act. That's the first thing I'd do."

And a list from of promises that expired during the campaign:

IRAN

STATEMENT: “We can, then, more effectively deal with what I consider to be one of the greatest threats to the United States, to Israel, and world peace, and that is Iran,” Obama speaking to American Israel Public Affairs Committee in Chicago, March 5, 2007

EXPIRATION DATE: “Iran, Cuba, Venezuela, these countries are tiny...They don’t pose a serious threat to us the way the Soviet Union posed a threat to us.” – May 20, 2008

"I would," Obama answered. July 27, 2007

EXPIRATION DATE: May 10, 2008: Susan E. Rice, a former State Department and National Security Council official who is a foreign policy adviser to the Democratic candidate: “But nobody said he would initiate contacts at the presidential level; that requires due preparation and advance work.”

EXPIRATION DATE: June 20, 2008: “Given the legitimate threats we face, providing effective intelligence collection tools with appropriate safeguards is too important to delay. So I support the compromise, but do so with a firm pledge that as president, I will carefully monitor the program.”

NUCLEAR ENERGY

STATEMENT: “I am not a nuclear energy proponent.” Barack Obama, December 30, 2007

NAFTA

STATEMENT: Tim Russert:: Senator Obama . . . Simple question: Will you, as president, say to Canada and Mexico, "This has not worked for us; we are out"?

Obama: “I will make sure that we renegotiate, in the same way that Senator Clinton talked about. And I think actually Senator Clinton's answer on this one is right.

And that is not what has been happening so far.” February 23, 2008

EXPIRATION DATE: June 18, 2008, Fortune magazine: “Sometimes during campaigns the rhetoric gets overheated and amplified,” he conceded, after I reminded him that he had called NAFTA "devastating" and "a big mistake," despite nonpartisan studies concluding that the trade zone has had a mild, positive effect on the U.S. economy.

Does that mean his rhetoric was overheated and amplified? "Politicians are always guilty of that, and I don't exempt myself," he answered.

EXPIRATION DATE: When Obama announced his decision to break his public financing pledge June 19, no meeting between the Democratic nominee and McCain had occurred.

EXPIRATION DATE: April 11, 2008: Asked if he would have vetoed the 1996 law, Mr. Obama said, “I won’t second guess President Clinton for signing” it. Obama to the New York Times.

GAY MARRIAGE

EXPIRATION DATE: June 29, 2008: “I oppose the divisive and discriminatory efforts to amend the California Constitution, and similar efforts to amend the U.S. Constitution or those of other states… Finally, I want to congratulate all of you who have shown your love for each other by getting married these last few weeks.” — letter to the Alice B. Toklas LGBT Democratic Club

PARTIAL-BIRTH ABORTION

STATEMENT: "Now, I don't think that 'mental distress' qualifies as the health of the mother. I think it has to be a serious physical issue that arises in pregnancy, where there are real, significant problems to the mother carrying that child to term." – Interview with Relevant magazine, July 1, 2008

EXPIRATION DATE: July 5, 2008: “My only point is that in an area like partial-birth abortion having a mental, having a health exception can be defined rigorously. It can be defined through physical health, It can be defined by serious clinical mental-health diseases.” statement to reporters.

STATEMENT: "Jerusalem will remain the capital of Israel, and it must remain undivided." — speech before AIPAC, June 4, 2008

EXPIRATION DATE: June 6, 2008: "Jerusalem is a final status issue, which means it has to be negotiated between the two parties" as part of "an agreement that they both can live with." – an Obama adviser clarifying his remarks to the Jerusalem Post.

Moscow subway suicide bombs blamed on southern rebels

MOSCOW — The suicide bombs that roared through Moscow subway cars yesterday were almost certainly the latest blow in a slow-moving war of attrition between the Russian government and militants in the restive, mostly Muslim republics of the Caucasus.

Vladimir Putin has been trading blows with southern rebels ever since he rose to the presidency a decade ago. At times, violence has threatened to erode the social contract he's struck with the Russian public: Forgo some of their democratic rights in exchange for, above all, stability.

And yet, many analysts say Putin consolidated his power by waging a war in Chechnya — his strength was built by persuading people to unite with him against dangerous threats. The militants have menaced and fueled Putin's leadership, they say.

Yesterday, two female suicide bombers climbed into packed subway cars in Moscow's bustling downtown in the middle of rush hour and blew themselves up, killing at least 38 people and injuring dozens more. It was the first such attack to reach Moscow in six years, raising the specter of violence creeping back into the heart of Russia.

The killings seemed intended to rattle the very core of Russian national identity. Lubyanka Square, the first to be attacked, holds a deep and unsettling place in the Russian consciousness as the headquarters of the Soviet KGB, and now its successor, the FSB. Next came Park Kultury, another iconic station alongside Gorky Park, where Russian children flock for roller coasters, sprawling gardens and ice skating.

Investigators said they had identified one of the bombers and were hunting for two women who were seen on surveillance camera footage accompanying the attackers to the doors of a Metro station in southwest Moscow, law enforcement sources told Interfax.

Some of the suicide attackers' remains were found in the bombed trains and were sent for forensic identification. The remains included the head of a woman believed to be a bomber, unnamed investigators told Russian news agencies.

"Probably it was a reply to some injustice or atrocity done to their fathers or brothers, whoever, but it's only the end of a tentacle," said Sergei Arutyunov, chair of the Caucasus department at the Russian Academy of Science. "And the tentacles converge in a large, loose body of separatism and pseudo-Islamic fanaticism."

Women have been responsible for a number of past attacks by Chechen militants, but there was no immediate claim of responsibility for yesterday's bombings.

However, some officials speculated that the blasts could be an act of vengeance from supporters of Sayed Buryatsky, an Islamist ideologue who was reported killed by security services earlier this month in the republic of Ingushetia. The Russian government had blamed Buryatsky for a spate of recent attacks, including the bombing in November of a high-speed train linking Moscow to St Petersburg.

An Islamist Web site later confirmed Buryatsky's death. Another rebel leader, Doku Umarov, threatened Russian cities in a February interview with a Web site linked to the Islamists. "Blood will no longer be limited to our cities and towns," Umarov said. "The war is coming to their cities."

The explosions occurred just a few days after the 10th anniversary of Putin's election to the presidency. Putin was forced from the presidency by term limits and now serves as prime minister. But he is widely viewed as Russia's ultimate authority, and many analysts expect him to return to the presidency in the next elections.

Much of Putin's time in power has been defined by the struggle with Islamic militants.

Putin was elevated to national power by BorisYeltsin, who had fought a disastrous campaign in Chechnya. Putin brought Chechnya back under Moscow's control in a second war. After the installation of proxy leadership to crack down on Chechen separatists and lingering, heavy-handed efforts to squash violence, bloodshed has surged again on the southern edge of Russia — and raised questions about the government's ability to stabilize the country.

Amid increased fighting and instability in Chechnya, as well as neighboring Ingushetia and Dagestan, Russia has stepped up abductions and assassinations of Islamist leaders. The Islamists, in turn, have vowed to visit bloodshed on cities in the heart of Russia.

Yesterday's carnage piles extra pressure onto a government already struggling to tamp down public discontent over economic woes.

"Obviously, we have not done enough," President Dmitry Medvedev said at an emergency meeting, Russian news agencies reported. State television aired footage of Medvedev questioning some of Russia's top officials. During the meeting, the men spoke quietly and spent a lot of time staring into their laps.

Medvedev later visited Lubyanka station, where he took the escalator down to the platform and laid flowers at the scene of the explosion. "They are beasts," he told reporters outside, referring to those responsible for the blasts.

Putin cut short a working trip to Siberia and headed back to Moscow, vowing to unleash vengeance on the groups that organized the attack. This was the man, after all, who famously vowed to hunt terrorists all the way to the toilet.

"I am confident that law enforcement agencies will do everything to find and punish the criminals," Putin said in a video conference carried by state media.

"The terrorists will be destroyed."

Islam: The Religion of Rape

Islam 101: The Religion of Rape

By Christopher Logan

In this latest addition to my Islam 101 series, I will explain how Mohammad, and Islam OK rape.

From the Islamic scriptures I will start with:

Koran verse 004.024
YUSUFALI: Also (prohibited are) women already married, except those whom your right hands possess: Thus hath Allah ordained (Prohibitions) against you: Except for these, all others are lawful, provided ye seek (them in marriage) with gifts from your property,- desiring chastity, not lust, seeing that ye derive benefit from them, give them their dowers (at least) as prescribed; but if, after a dower is prescribed, agree Mutually (to vary it), there is no blame on you, and Allah is All-knowing, All-wise.

The meaning of what “right hands possess” is explained in Islamic Law, the Koran, and the ahadith.

“The Reliance of the Traveller, A Classic Manual of Islamic Scared Law”
This book has the stamp of approval of Al Azhar, the highest learning Islamic school in the world.

Justice Chapter: Jihad
THE RULES OF WARFARE

o9.13 When a child or a woman is taken captive, they become slaves by the fact of capture, and the woman’s previous marriage is immediately annulled.

This is backed up by other Koran verses.

033.050
YUSUFALI: O Prophet! We have made lawful to thee thy wives to whom thou hast paid their dowers; and those whom thy right hand possesses out of the prisoners of war whom Allah has assigned to thee; and daughters of thy paternal uncles and aunts, and daughters of thy maternal uncles and aunts, who migrated (from Makka) with thee; and any believing woman who dedicates her soul to the Prophet if the Prophet wishes to wed her;- this only for thee, and not for the Believers (at large); We know what We have appointed for them as to their wives and the captives whom their right hands possess;- in order that there should be no difficulty for thee. And Allah is Oft-Forgiving, Most Merciful.

008.069
YUSUFALI: But (now) enjoy what ye took in war, lawful and good: but fear Allah: for Allah is Oft-forgiving, Most Merciful.

While Islam does not consider this rape, it sure sounds like kidnapping, slavery, and rape to me.

The ahadith even go into more detail on how Mohammad approved of him, and his merry men raping women.

Volume 5, Book 59, Number 459:
Narrated Ibn Muhairiz:

I entered the Mosque and saw Abu Said Al-Khudri and sat beside him and asked him about Al-Azl (i.e. coitus interruptus). Abu Said said, “We went out with Allah’s Apostle for the Ghazwa of Banu Al-Mustaliq and
we received captives from among the Arab captives and we desired women and celibacy became hard on us and we loved to do coitus interruptus. So when we intended to do coitus interrupt us, we said, ‘How can we do coitus interruptus before asking Allah’s Apostle who is present among us?” We asked (him) about it and he said, ‘It is better for you not to do so, for if any soul (till the Day of Resurrection) is predestined to exist, it will exist.”

By Mohammad’s words we can see that he did not care that his men raped the women, nor did he care if the women were impregnated by their rapist. What a guy.

After raiding a town and defeating the “enemy”, Mohammad picked a female captive of his own.

Volume 3, Book 34, Number 437:
Narrated Anas bin Malik:

The Prophet came to Khaibar and when Allah made him victorious and he conquered the town by breaking the enemy’s defense, the beauty of Safiya bint Huyai bin Akhtab was mentioned to him and her husband had been killed while she was a bride. Allah’s Apostle selected her for himself and he set out in her company till he reached Sadd-ar-Rawha’ where her menses were over and he married her. Then Hais (a kind of meal) was prepared and served on a small leather sheet (used for serving meals). Allah’s Apostle then said to me, “Inform those who are around you (about the wedding banquet).” So that was the marriage banquet given by Allah’s Apostle for (his marriage with) Safiya. After that we proceeded to Medina and I saw that Allah’s Apostle was covering her with a cloak while she was behind him. Then he would sit beside his camel and let Safiya put her feet on his knees to ride (the camel).

Are we really supposed to believe that Safiya willingly married Mohammad, after him and his army killed her husband? Only a blind following Muslim would believe that.

Volume 5, Book 59, Number 513:
Narrated ‘Abdul ‘Aziz bin Suhaib:

Anas bin Malik said, “The Prophet took Safiya as a captive. He manumitted her and married her.” Thabit asked Anas, “What did he give her as Mahr (i.e. marriage gift)?” Anas replied. “Her Mahr was herself, for he manumitted her.”

Here we read of the official rape, of what was obviously a petrified girl. (She was a Jewish girl that was 17 at the time.)

Volume 5, Book 59, Number 523:
Narrated Anas bin Malik:

The Prophet stayed with Safiya bint Huyai for three days on the way of Khaibar where he consummated his marriage with her. Safiya was amongst those who were ordered to use a veil.

As I have been saying, Islam is a religion of war, that encourages lying, and allows rape. It is the anti-thesis of America, and it should of never been allowed to be practiced here in the first place.

CAIR’s Dangerous Game of Chicken

Even when it does something right, the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) finds a way to turn it into a confrontation with federal law enforcement.

Since helping connect the families of five young Muslim men missing from the D.C.-area to law enforcement, the group has postured itself as an asset in the fight against extremism. CAIR's Executive Director Nihad Awad even described the "disturbing" farewell video the group's ringleader, Ramy Zamzam, left behind.

It "made references to the ongoing conflict in the world, and that young Muslims have to do something," Awad told reporters in December.

Somehow, Awad believes the good deed of advising relatives to go to the FBI gives him the power to demand that the five suspected terrorists be brought back to the United States and set free with nothing more than a slap on the wrist. If that doesn't happen, he has said repeatedly, there could be consequences.

As Awad said:

"Charging them and throwing them in jail is not the solution….The government has to show some appreciation for the actions of the parents and the community. That will encourage other families to come forward."

This is lunacy, as any review of the case shows.

The five young men, Zamzam, Umar Farooq, Waqar Khan, Amin Yemer, and Ahmad Mimmi, all lived within blocks of one another in Alexandria, Virginia. Last year, they contacted a Taliban recruiter via YouTube and exchanged communications in a draft email folder in a Yahoo account. After months of watching radical videos on the Internet, the men left Washington on November 28, leaving behind a videotape for relatives that showed scenes of American casualties and a speech by one of them talking about the need to defend Muslims.

Although their parents apparently did not know where their children had gone, they contacted the authorities to report them missing. By all accounts, they have continued to cooperate. As much as they deserve praise for these actions, it is important to remember that this is something that any parent would do upon learning of their kids' disappearance.

While the parents were trying to work with authorities to locate their children, the Zamzam Five were attempting to gain terrorist training in Pakistan.

Authorities say that the men traveled to Hyderabad, Pakistan. There, they were denied entry into militant training camps operated by Jaish-e-Mohammad and Lashkar-e Tayyiba, both designated Foreign Terrorist Organizations. They were eventually arrested on December 8, at the family home of Khalid Farooq Chaudhry, the father of one of the men.

After months of investigation, in both the United States and Pakistan, on March 17, the men were formally charged in a Pakistani anti-terrorism court in Sargodha. Among the charged offenses are conspiracy to commit terrorism in Pakistan and plotting attacks against a friendly country, both of which could result in life sentences. The men have pled not guilty and the expected six-month trial is set to begin on March 31.

Although U.S. authorities have not yet said whether they intend to seek extradition of the men to stand trial here, it remains a possibility that they may one day face other charges in America. Should they return to the United States, CAIR would like to see them set free. Such a step would be an extraordinary departure from both established principles and common sense.

While it axiomatic that federal prosecutors have broad discretion to decide what charges to bring, when to bring them, and where to bring them, it is highly unlikely that anybody in the Justice Department would find the cooperation of parents in locating their missing children to be a compelling enough justification to forego prosecution of suspected terrorists. Rather, the cooperation of family members should be given the same weight as it is normally given in criminal investigations—a mitigating factor to be considered during the sentencing phase of a trial. In at least two high-profile cases of domestic terrorism, the Justice Department took just that step.

From 1978 to 1995, Ted Kaczynski sent 16 bombs to targets including universities and airlines, killing three and injuring 23. After an FBI investigation spanning nearly two decades, the "Unabomber" wasn't caught until his brother tipped off authorities. Despite the cooperation of a family member, a federal grand jury indicted Kaczynski in April 1996 on 10 counts of illegally transporting, mailing, and using bombs. Although the Unabomber eventually pled guilty in exchange for a sentence of life in prison, his brother David was in negotiations with federal prosecutors to ensure that his cooperation would be considered as a mitigating factor as sentencing.

Similarly, Stephen John Jordi, a religious fundamentalist who was accused of plotting to fire bomb abortion clinics, churches, and gay bars, was turned in to authorities by relatives. Rather than demand that he not be prosecuted, his family spoke at Jordi's sentencing hearing, and he received the guidelines-minimum of five years.

CAIR is either willfully ignorant of these precedents or believes that this case is special. Yet Awad repeated his argument for leniency this week, hinting at trouble down the road if their expectations are not met:

"I think the outcome of this trial will determine how parents in the future will interact with the government."

Think about that. You find a farewell video from your son, who disappeared days ago. You have reason to believe he is in league with people bent on violence. What options do you, as a parent, have? Either go to the authorities in the hope they can find your child before it is too late, or roll the dice and hope the kid changes his mind and makes his way home.

Awad seems to be saying parents may opt to gamble on their children's lives. At the least, he suggests their cooperation is contingent upon a quid-pro-quo.

This takes CAIR's repeated exhortations to not cooperate with law enforcement authorities to a new extreme.

The suggestion that the only reasonable response to the cooperation of family members is a "get out of jail free" card is preposterous. Even if that were true, however, it's certainly a dangerous game of chicken in which CAIR suggests engaging.

If the Zamzam Five ever make it back to the United States, the crimes of which they have been suspected are simply too serious to be brushed under the carpet. They offered support to terrorist groups and conspired to kill American troops. According to authorities in Pakistan, police recovered maps of nuclear power plants and air force bases, the intended targets of the men. Even the group's alleged leader, Ramy Zamzam, has not denied their ultimate objective: "we are not terrorists…we are jihadists, and jihad is not terrorism."

The cooperation of their parents should be taken into account as a mitigating factor when they are brought to justice, but in no way should it immunize the men from prosecution.

America, Break Silence on Islam

Americans must hear the truth about Islam continually until they are completely aware of its dangers. Sadly, our religious leaders dare not speak up fearing they would be accused of intolerance toward another religion. Our academia, the university professors, left or right, dare not, because, most likely, they would lose their salaries....

Our politicians dare not because they are master practitioners of euphemism, hedging, doubletalk, and outright deception, and they need your votes as well as your money. Our editors dare not because they would lose subscribers. Businessmen dare not because they might lose customers and clientele. Even ordinary clerks dare not because they might be discharged. So I thought I would tell you.

My fellow Americans, America is faced with a formidable enemy. This enemy has a name: 'Islam'. I think it is time to revisit the First Amendment of the U.S. Constitution and see if Islam is qualified as a religion. Is this an outlandishly absurd proposal? Not at all, serious problems require equally serious solutions. The call for evaluation of the First Amendment may be seen as an attempt to curb Islam or other militant cults. The truth is: it is. It is truly a matter of survival of the United States and the free world.

It is time to take a stand and shift the debate to orthodox Islam. We do not have to investigate every other religion on earth in order to compare them or offer opinion about their relative “goodness” in order to declare that on the whole Islam perpetuates evil. Let others devolve into religious disagreements. But for those commentators who would respond: “OK great, so now what...you claim Islam is evil. How do we combat that?” Your response is already clear: Through the spread of truth, not deceit. Through voluntary social sanctions and laws in every civilized country that forbid evil practices like Sharia, coercion and violence against women, threats against those who disagree, honor killings, apostasy and other hate crimes. Let the world know the truth and decide for itself. Let Muslims who come to their senses opt out.

America, with a long history of protecting religious freedom, still clings to the “hands off” practice of leaving alone any doctrine or practice billed as religion. A thorny problem is in deciding what constitutes a religion and who is to make that call. The dictionary supplies a sociologically useless definition for religion: “The expression of man’s belief in and reverence for a superhuman power recognized as the creator and governor of the universe.” Just about anyone or any group under this definition can start a religion, and they indeed do—and some do so at significant costs to others.

Muslims, under the banner of religion, are infringing blatantly on the rights of others, not only in Islamic countries, but also in much of the non-Muslim world. By their acts of dogmatic barbarity, Muslims are slowly awakening the non-Muslim democracies to the imminent threat of Islamofascisim keen on destroying their free secular and free societies.

As more and more Muslims arrive in American land, as they reproduce with great fecundity, as they convert the disenchanted and minorities, and as petrodollar-flush Muslims and Muslim treasuries supply generous funds, Muslims gather more power to undermine a serious challenge to the American system of governance—democracy. As for democracy, the rule of the people, Muslims have no use at all. Muslims believe that Allah’s rule must govern the world in the form of Caliphate—a theocracy. Making mockery of democracy, subverting its working, and ignoring its provisions is a Muslim’s way of falsifying what he already believes to be a sinful and false system of governance invented by the infidels.

A consortium composed of pandering liberal politicians, blinded by short-term self-interest and egotism, attention and fund-seeking self-proclaimed prima donna professors; and, bastions of useful idiots, is the witting or unwitting promoter of Ummah-ism.

Unlike some peaceful religions such as Baha’i, Buddhism, Hinduism, Zoroastrianism and Christianity, which advocate universally understood principles of good within their Holy books, and perhaps other religious doctrines (with which I am not personally familiar), Islam cannot be reformed.

Any reference to violence in Islam is often counter-argued by pointing fingers to Old Testament violence. Old Testament stories are taught in Christianity as historical fact, not prescriptions based on Christian ethics. And if Christianity was violent in the past, it was in violation of Jesus' teachings and has mended its ways, reformed, and has become peaceful.

But Islam does not tolerate revisionism, reform, of its beliefs or practices over time. Reform is not at play, because one cannot point to Jihadists or terrorists and say Muhammad did not advocate it. He most certainly did, and delighted in his evil thoughts. Islam is a literal religion, taking unabrogated scripture as eternal and absolute. Moreover, there are no calls in Islam for compassion, forgiveness, non-violence, and brotherly love. Instead there are specific prescriptions for retain evil with evil, eternal warfare, religious hegemony, slavery, killing Jews, taxing nonbelievers, stoning, promulgating terror, establishing a caste social system, and perpetuating discrimination against women. The only way to reform Islam is discarding Sharia, but also purging the Quran itself of enormous suras that are not only patently false, but totally repugnant to a civilized humanity. This line of thinking, to sanitize Islam is explicitly forbidden in the Quran:

Quran 2:85: ”Do you, then, believe in some parts of the divine writ and deny the truth of other parts? What, then, could be the reward of those among you who do such things but ignominy in the life of this world and, on the Day of Resurrection; they will be consigned to most grievous suffering? For God is not unmindful of what you do.”

Therefore there is no such thing as “radical Islam.” And those who take a “liberal” view of Islam should be forced to back up their nouveau interpretation with unabrogated scriptural facts. Unless such “reformists” can denounce fascist Islam with scripture, they are the true radicals, which is why we never see them pointing to scriptural arguments against jihad...they cannot because they are lying. Islamic terrorists are only doing exactly what Muhammad demanded, and his demands were not suggestions and they where not ephemeral. They were “perfect,” eternal ultimata. Let us not forget that the terrorists are faithful and true to what is written in their holy book.

The notion that only those who denounce what is plainly Islamic (and just as plainly repulsive) are therefore the tools of Jews, or right-wing, paranoid, NASCAR-loving, gun-rights-worshipping, evangelical Christians must be exhaustively combated and rejected. This politicizing and obscuring reality only keeps people confused, inured, and numb.

But because both those who believe Islam is defective and those who believe it has been hijacked are equally in opposition to terrorism and coercion, there is confusion about how Islam should be regarded. Perhaps the contrasting viewpoints should be named so they can be referred to as valid concepts.

The notion that Islam is peaceful, but that only “radicals” are usurping and distorting the “peace-of-Islam” should be called: Islam-revisionism and advocates called Islam-Revisionists.

The notion that Islam is inherently violent, coercive, harsh, Jihad-oriented...and that it advocates slavery, intolerance, and inequality...and that such traditional and realistic interpretations cannot be reformed should be called Islam-realism and such advocates called Islam-realists.

Once the side of realists has a name and can distinguish itself from wishful revisionists, the public can begin to see that there are many voices which (without advocating a specific competing religion) can denounce Islam per se, and can speak to the real reasons. Islam continues its onslaught, and can counter any senseless position, such as reforming them and bringing democracy and tolerance to their lands (the RINOS position).

Recall how many times former President George W. Bush praised Islam? Recall President George Bush’s love affairs with the Sheikh Abdullah of Saudi Arabia and President Obama’s bow to the Saudis’ Sheikh? Apparently, both presidents were/are unaware of the existence of Maj. Nidal Malik Hasans in the United States military, though the entire 8 years of the presidency of George W. Bush consumed around the 9/11 tragedy and Islamic terrorism. Next in line to the Islamic Republic of Iran, Saudi Arabia is the largest sponsor and supporter of Islamic terrorism in the world. Go figure!

Please tell the American people what has been done since this Muslim-American Maj. savagely killed 14 people while shouting Allah-o-Akbar (one unborn child) and hurting 30 others? As I noted, the recent dastardly mass murder at Fort Hood, committed by Maj. Nidal Malik Hasan will be forgotten by the public before very long. Life will continue on its deadly course, pushed along in a variety of ways by agents of death, Islamists. Only the families who lost their loved-ones and those who survived the bullets have to live the rest of their lives with incapacitating injuries and, in the main, won’t be able to put the episode behind them.

Those who claim that they want to reform Islam want to transform it by stripping it of a great many provisions that are anathema to civilized humanity. These people are, in fact, trying to make a new religion out of the old with no divine authority that was, supposedly, bestowed upon Muhammad to launch his religion.

If I am right, then Islam will always be a bête noire to the West. Even dopey secularists and leftists will realize that fact one day, perhaps only after their delusions sink all of us. But realizing the fact that this religious power is at eternal war with you is not an act of hopelessness, and therefore it is not a call to pollyanishness. It simply means we must always be on our guard and never self-deluded. It may mean we have to leave the Islamists alone and hope that their people slowly convert to another religion or become unaffiliated. Until then, we should keep our powder dry.

I have refused to accept several organizations that seek to combat or expose the antics of “radical” or “extreme” Islam, because I know that it is not extremism that is causing the violence...it’s mainstream, typical, normal, traditional, specified, canonical Islam.

There are those who with a wink and a nod understand this but continue to work as revisionists because they are afraid of starting a religious war, even as they feel compelled to do something. They tell me, “You can’t openly accuse an entire religion of being evil! That would just incite them and make them hate us even more. My response: the war started in the 7th century, and if in the 21st century we still refuse to accept that reality, then there is perhaps is no hope at all for civilization. Nothing good can come from deception.

I argue that any belief system that licenses murder in the name of Jihad and the conquering and subduing of the world of the infidels by the Ummah, should be outlawed. Prophet Mohammed brewed up a militant, radical and extremely irrational imperialistic cult that sought world dominance. My fellow travelers, let us make one thing clear; Islam is no more a religion deserving our respect or legal recognition than is cannibalism.

It is time for the Americans to call upon the lawmakers of the United States of America to immediately create a safety board and commissioner to study and examine the dangers of Islamic dogma in our society. In the monumental task of dealing with Islam, every individual, group and government must combine their resources and energies to prevail. The destiny of the civilized life hangs in the balance. Shirking responsibility is an unpardonable act of every enlightened human being and organization that values human liberty and dignity.

Unusual Jihad

Recent incidents of unusual Jihad---from killing bad Muslims as they pray in mosques to pedophilia Jihad---all following the examples set by the glorious prophet Muhammad...

JIHAD AGAINST BAD MUSLIMS

Our prophet loved to behead and burn down bad Muslims... Here is very well known hadith:

Bukhari V1.B11.N626: “The Prophet said, “burn all those who had not left their houses for the prayer, burning them alive inside their homes.’”

Mashallah! Muslims all over the world love this sunna and engage daily in this jihad. Every day, true Muslims kill bad Muslims by suicide bombings, guns and beheadings, and burning them alive.

JIHAD AGAINST MOSQUES ATTENDED BY BAD MUSLIMS

It is a sunna to destroy the mosques of bad Muslims. In our prophet's time, such a mosque, called Zarrar Mosque, was raised in Medina by a group of dissident Muslims. Those lily-livered Muslims were of the peace-loving moderate types, who did not like aggressive violence of Muhammad, and had refused to participate in Muhammad's Tabuk Jihad expedition.

Our Prophet took care of them after returning from Tabuk. He ordered their mosque burned down along with the those moderate Muslims, while they were praying in it...

The Quran talks about this mosque in the following aya:

009.107
YUSUFALI: And there are those, who put up a mosque by way of mischief and infidelity.

When a mosque fills up during Friday prayers, but stays empty during daily prayers, it indicates that the mosque is infested by moderates, who only pray on Fridays. Such mosques must be destroyed and the infestation eliminated.

One such mosque was in Rawalpindi. Eight mujahideen attacked this mosque during Friday prayers and blew it up with grenades killing over 50 bad Muslims including a military General...

Destroying such mosques is an important Jihad, and Mashallah our mujahideen brothers successfully blew up 7 mosques in Pakistan in 2009, killing over 366 bad Muslims and maiming over 900 for life. During the last 8 years, they bagged over 50 mosques.

366 killed in 7 attacks targeting mosques in 2009, over 50 mosques destroyed in last 8 years.

Attackers claim they are following Sunna

By Amir Mir ; 7 December 2009

LAHORE: Claiming responsibility for the Friday’s mosque attack, the Tehrik-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) said the Parade Lane mosque was similar to Masjid-e-Zarrar that was built in Madina by the munafiqeen, and was “demolished on the orders of Prophet Muhammad (PBUH)”.

At least 366 Pakistanis have been killed while praying and 901 injured in the first 11 months of year 2009 in seven bloody incidents of terrorism across Pakistan, targeting mosques with the help of suicide bombers as well as explosive-laden vehicles.

According to the available data, over 50 mosques have been targeted since 9/11 either by the Pakistani Taliban or their like-minded jehadi groups like the Sipah-e-Sahaba Pakistan (SSP), Lashkar-e-Jhangvi (LeJ), Harkatul Jehadul Islami (HUJI), Jaish-e-Mohammad (JeM) and Jamaatul Furqaan claiming it is a sunna…

The December 4, 2009 armed attack targeting the parade ground mosque in the garrison town of Rawalpindi, which killed 44 people including 17 children, was the latest in the series. In one of the worst incidents of terrorism in recent years, a group of six fidayeen attackers belonging to the Tehrik-e-Taliban stormed the crowded Parade Land Askari Mosque close to the General Headquarters of the Pakistan Army during Friday prayers and sprayed gunfire at worshippers besides throwing hand grenades.

The December 4 attack on the Rawalpindi mosque was the seventh such assault this year, specifically targeting mosques. According to the figures compiled by the ministry of interior, the first such incident took place on February 5, 2009 when a suicide bomber blew himself at the main gate of Al Hussainia Mosque in Dera Ghazi Khan, killing 33 persons and injuring 54 others. The second incident took place on March 27, 2009 in which 92 persons, including 16 Security Force personnel, were killed and over 113 injured. The target of the suicide bomber was a mosque at Peshawar-Torkham Highway in the Jamrud sub-division of the Khyber Agency in FATA during the Friday.

MUSIC JIHAD

Music is worse than alcohol. It pollutes the mind. Islam very strictly prohibits it. Many Muslims like to play music while making love. That is a sin. Instead, you should recite Arabic duas when copulating. When our prophet entered Mecca triumphantly, the people, whom he ordered killed immediately, included singing girls. Here is a video, which shows an example how singing Muslims must be killed even if the occasion is a wedding ceremony and the singer is the bridegroom.

FONDLING JIHAD

Fondling is a blissful sunna specially when done while fasting. Our prophet loved fondling his wives during fasts even when they were menstruating.

Bukhari,Volume 1, Book 6, Number 299:

Narrated 'Abdur-Rahman bin Al-Aswad: (on the authority of his father) 'Aisha said: "Whenever Allah's Apostle wanted to fondle anyone of us during her periods (menses), he used to order her to put on an Izar and start fondling her." 'Aisha added, "None of you could control his sexual desires as the Prophet could."

Bukhar, iVolume 1, Book 6, Number 300:

Narrated Maimuna: When ever Allah's Apostle wanted to fondle any of his wives during the periods (menses), he used to ask her to wear an Izar.

Here is a fasting Muslim who successfully fondled an invalid girl and got extra credits towards 72 virgins…:

A Fasting Muslim guilty of squeezing disabled young lady's breasts

Article from: AAP; December 03, 2009

A SYDNEY taxi driver repeatedly squeezed the breasts of a disabled female passenger...

A fasting Muslim Abdul Magid Qazizada testified that he was a practicing Muslim, who had been fasting because it had been Ramadan, a time "when men are not allowed to touch their wives" (but are allowed to touch infidel women). Apparently the horny Muslim man, whose wife would not let him touch her in Ramadan, enjoyed himself when he saw a shapely infidel lady (his prophet used to grope his child wife Ayesha and slave-girls while fasting)

At Ryde Local Court, Magistrate Jennifer Betts today found Qazizada, 51, of Acacia Gardens, guilty of aggravated indecent assault on September 10.

The 23-year-old victim, a non-drinker who has cerebral palsy, uses a tri-walker for short distances and a wheelchair for longer journeys.

On September 10, Qazizada responded to her call for a taxi at a club in Sydney's north-west, put her tri-walker in the back and was directed by her to her nearby address.

She told the magistrate she became more and more uncomfortable during the trip, after the driver repeatedly said: "You are a lovely lady."

When they arrived at her home, he drove up the sloped driveway and she had difficulty getting out of the vehicle, she said.

The driver lifted her out but as she tried to get to her walker, he put his left arm over her shoulder and squeezed her breast three or four times.

She said she felt scared and said, "No, Please"".

As she still tried to get to the walker, Qazizada squeezed her other breast, and then squeezed both of them together about five times.

"As a result of those actions she felt pain in her breasts and became terrified," the magistrate said.

Qazizada then told her: "You are a lovely lady, have a good night."

The sobbing woman went immediately to her neighbor's house where she reported the assault.

CITY ISLAMIZATION JIHAD

Brothers and sisters in Islam, it is our jihadi duty to Islamize all kafir cities. What better way to Islamize them than by making the whole city a gigantic mosque and praying everywhere in Jamats in stores, on sidewalks and on roads. Islamist brothers have achieved that goal in Paris. Watch the video. Jazakallah Khair. Try to carry out this Jihad in your own city.

RECTAL JIHAD

In this jihad, you fill your rectum with explosives and blow it when you are close to your target. The advantage is when they frisk you at the security-check they never probe your rectum and you manage to reach your target carrying your explosives.

Here is how a paradise-bound mujahid brother carried rectal jihad in Saudi Arabia:

http://www.strategypage.com/downloads/iedsrectalcavities.pdf

PEDOPHILIA JIHAD

Pedophilia is a blissful sunna because our prophet was a pedophile. He loved massaging his private part between the silky thighs of his little six-year-old wife Ayesha. His most favourite copulating partner was also Ayesha when she turned 9.

Hadiths talk of prophet’s thighing 6-year-old Ayesha. He thighed her, instead of regular sex, because her father Abu Bakr had prohibited him to enter her vaginally before she turned 9... But what about the many five or six year-old or younger girls he got in his 20% share of the booty. Their fathers and relatives were beheaded and gone.

This jihad of having sex with minor infidel girls is immensely popular amongst our true Muslims.

Kids go to serve sex in Dubai

(Ref. sheikyermami)

MidDay via RoP

Hundreds of minors flown out to Gulf to dance in bars, provide sex, as Ramzan month of abstinence ends.

For three days now, 2000 girls, almost all minors, have left for the Middle East, particularly Dubai, to feed the needs of a population starved of entertainment and sex, post the rigours of Ramzan.

The girls have been told they are being taken to dance in bars, but it is implicit that they will double up as prostitutes for well-paying clients. Another 1,000 will leave by tomorrow.

Of course, any attempts to do away with the customary child abuse will encounter resistance based on the example of Muhammad, who married 9-year-old Aisha (Sahih Bukhari 5.58.234).

Muslim Pedophile ‘Rape Gang’ Arrested in Rotherham

Opinionator; December 10, 2009

The despicable Muslim Rape Jihad continues in Britain. Once again young, vulnerable white British girls are plundered like war booty by Muslim men. For that is just what this girls are -- war booty -- as Muslims continue their invasion and colonisation of Great Britain bringing with them their contempt for the Western world and it's indigenous people, culture and customs - particularly women and girls.

The government and social policies of multiculturalism and appeasement have given Muslims a sense of entitlement to all things British – from sponging off taxpayer paid benefits to establishing no-go areas for white British to the rampant raping and beating of British women and children. Meanwhile the police and courts continue to coddle Muslims whilst the media keeps Muslim criminals identities frequently out of the front pages of national newspapers. Search for Muslim rape or rape jihad in the blogosphere – and the truth about Muslim crime quickly becomes glaringly evident.

The Desperation of Muslims in their own Islamic States

Islam in 7^th and 8^th century and later

In mid of 7^th and later on in 8^th century, Islamic-History tells that some aristocratic class of Muslims enjoyed their time after inheriting the power, regardless by legal or illegal ways, from their ancestors. There was no proper way of electing the ruler for Islamic-empire by colossal majority. The son was to be immediately considered caliph/ruler after the demise of his father or brother, nevertheless, whether, he is eligible or not for the ruler ship. There are various evidences from history that some early Muslims were so much greedy that they made various plots to murder their own fathers and brothers, with the association of their viziers, in order to gain the power. Muslim rulers always had to be stuck with their position until he would die a natural death or would be assassinated.

History does not spread light whether the Muslim nation of the same era, was delightful or frustrated, likewise of the modern-day of Muslims in some territories. But illegal ways and the ineligibility of their masters and caliphs certainly gives us many proves, ideas and logics that the Muslim nation, of that time, was not pleased and they surely suffered many difficulties; other high positions were entrusted to their kinships and close relatives.

In the 14^th century, while Ottoman-empire was still reaping, this monarchy system was grabbed from the Abbasids dynasty after their fall in the hands of Halaku Khan, the grand son of chengiz khan. The demise of Ottoman-empire appeared in early20^th century by Mustafa Kemal Ataturk.

Saudi Arabia still holds the title of monarchy system; nevertheless, they know it is a wrong way to be elected in all civilized country for the betterment of their nation and their generation after generations.

On the other hand, we all know some middle-eastern countries, like, UAE, Kuwait and Behrain, beside Saudi Arabia, are rich states solely for their control on oil production. But before 18^th or 19^th century no one knew if these countries possessed natural oil in or under their fields. As a result, Arabic speaking Muslims were typically same bidus and leading their lives by pasturing their flocks and livestock; and their lives were real miserable.

Islamic state of Pakistan

As we know, most part of the Muslim-world is regarded as poor nations, and unfortunately, the state of Pakistan is one of the victims of its destitution. This country came into existence in 1947, after the division of India. The demand of Muslims for another state for them was solely a propaganda that Muslims and Hindus are two different nations and they can’t live together. However, today in India, there are more Muslims, almost double population, than that of living in Pakistan.

Today in Pakistan, almost everyone, living their lives in despondency and desperation. There is no wave of optimism on their faces; their rights have been taken away from them; there is no concept of social-security or any financial assistance from their government. Consequently, they live in anxiety and think about tomorrow and the future of their children.

The condition of the Pakistani government is now collapsed so much so, it is real hard for parents to feed their one child and could pay the bills that they receive every month. As a result, some parents suicide, some kill their child or children, some mothers, in rural areas, leave their children alone and run away to unknown places. These kinds of news are published almost daily in local papers. Not only this, but also some more funny news we find to read about illegal relationships; such as, an uncle killed his nephew over the charge of love affair with his aunt. Husband kills his wife over doubt of her disloyalty.

In 1980’s, the inclination towards West, grew more, especially in Pakistani youngsters and youths. They intended to study abroad, to make their reason more justified. Accordingly, most of upper class Pakistanis got able to get out of Pakistan very easily. Resultantly, after this, European and American embassies had to made some changes in their rules and the strictness on visas grew more and more; and in early 1990’s, it was almost impossible, for every Pakistani to get even a visit visa for certain countries. This behavior drew feelings of despondency in Pakistanis. They start to ponder many ways, how to get out of their Islamic countries for making their life more better.

Agents in Pakistan

There were a certain groups that enabled their resources in Western countries, and helped those Pakistanis, to get them out, who thought their Islamic states are like jails or lock-ups for them. Accordingly, certain groups, also known as Agents, started to earn a lot of money; as a matter of fact, they demanded a big money for certain countries; there is no doubt, some agents were fraud too and once they made their confidence among their parties, they vanished away after collected their money.

On the other hand, Pakistanis Muslims made and are still making plans how to leave their Islamic country and could reside in Western countries no matter legally or illegally. Some of them adopted the way of human trafficking, some tried to escape through dangerous ways and many of them lost their lives. A very few were successful and they never looked back.

Gen Zia-ul-Haq, the former President of Pakistan

A soled Gen. Zia-ul-Haq, the former President of Pakistan from 1977 to 1988, also known as Hypocrite, was another puppet of Islamic world. He promised with his nation, right after he imposed Marshal-law in 1977, that he will organize election within 90 days; but those 90 days never came in his 11 years tenure, and eventually died in a plane crash in 1988. The word Hypocrite is used for him, because, he promised with his Pakistani nation, that he will bring a real Islam and Shariah, and by this tricky way, he gained the confidence of his obtuse nation. Thus, the corruption in Military grew enlarge and attraction in recruiting in the army became brighter.

Gen Zia was considered a dictator General of his country. He allowed Mullah’s (Muslim Priests) movement more frequently and they started to participate in politics that caused a big blow on the economy of Pakistan. The effort regarding to scientific experiment were almost stopped because every Mullahs were in their way. Any medical or other scientific miracle was a real threat to their Quran and directly to religion Islam.

Qazi Husain Ahmed

Qazi Husain Ahmed is a very renowned figure in a politics in Pakistan. He was the third President (1987 to 2009) of his party named, Jamaat-e-Islami. He opposes every law that goes against Islamic Shariah; it is very well known truth that he sent his two sons to America for better education. In other words, it seemed to him that the Islamic state, where all other Pakistani Muslims study, is not sufficient for his sons to have better education. He is also a hypocrite person, because his slogans against America and United Kingdom are very famous and common. While he was on his post, he got together public and delivered speeches against all non-Muslim countries, especially against, USA and UK.

On other occasions, whenever Qazi needs medical treatment, he prefers to go to England or America, rather than to believe in his Allah, Quran and the sirat (life style) of his Prophet Muhammad. Point to be noted, he was the leader of his religious Islamic Party.

The power problem in all Pakistan

Another migraine for the Pakistani nation is the problem of lack of power in entire country. This problem started in the end of 2007 and people lost power for 14 to 18 hours in a day, constantly, and this problem continuously persists today since that time. It means that, Pakistani Muslims live about more than 6 months without power, or in other words, they are living in stone ages, in the 21^st century. However, Pakistani Muslims are in agony and tired of the poor and failure system, neither their rulers nor their Allah can solve it. In scorching summer, especially during nights, when there is sleeping time, the lack of power make Pakistani Muslims curse on their fate and on their rulers, and the words are inexplicable to be described in this article.

Afghanistan in early 80’s and its immigrants

After Russia invaded Afghanistan, many Afghanis made their good escape to European countries especially to Germany, Denmark, and Holland etc. Majority migrated to Pakistan and called refugees. I can say with certainty that if the condition in Afghanistan becomes better, the Afghanis who are now residing in non-Muslim countries, will never come back to their homelands. May be some, especially older, who would like to be buried in their own home land.

Conclusion

After reviewing this article, a reader can easily observe that the religion of Islam could not give to any human that what he desires or need for. Islam is only a mind-view that can never be effective in a positive way. Religion never fulfills the demands of living thing.

On the other hand, I am also a Pakistani, but not only I left my country but also quit my faith and religion. I know the mentality of many Pakistanis and this is my advice for bloggers that don’t try to tell me I am wrong or whatever I posted is incorrect. I know this because I have gone through these practical experiences and I know better who is who and what is what. This is a clear proof that Islamic countries and Islamic laws have given nothing but destitution, hopelessness and despondency to her Umah.

The Desperation of Muslims in Islamic Countries

A grim picture of Muslims' desperation in Pakistan and in the wider Islamic world, for that matter... but no help from Allah is forthcoming...

Islam in its early centuries

Since the late 7^th century, Islamic history tells us, some aristocratic family of Muslims inherited power, by legal or illegal ways, from their ancestors. There was no proper way of electing the ruler for the Islamic Empire by the majority. The son was to be immediately considered caliph/ruler after the demise of his father or brother, regardless of whether he is qualified or not for the rulership. There are way too many incidents—indeed, it became standard in all over the Islamic world—that Muslims were so much greedy that they made various plots to murder their own fathers and brothers in order to gain the power. Muslim rulers always had to be always on the watch lest they would be assassinated defeated by their near and dear ones.

History does not shed light on whether the Muslim world of that era was delightful or frustrating, but the state of affairs of the modern-day of Islamic world may give some idea. However, illegal and violent ways and means for capturing power, and the ineligibility of Muslim rulers and caliphs, certainly gives us many hints as to the fact that Muslim nations of that time were not a pleasant place; they surely sustained many turmoil and difficulties.

In the 14^th century, while the monarchial Ottoman Empire slowly established itself after the monarchial Abbasid dynasty was annihilated by Halagu Khan, grandson of Genghis Khan. The Ottoman Empire met its demise with rise of secular dictator Mustafa Kemal Ataturk in the 1920s century.

Saudi Arabia is still run by a monarchy system, although they know it is a wrong way to usurp power in a civilized country, and for the betterment of their nation and happiness of its citizenry.

On the other hand, we all know some Middle Eastern countries, like the UAE, Kuwait and Bahrain, beside Saudi Arabia, are rich solely for their oil reserves. But, before the 20th century, no one had a clue to the fact that these countries possessed huge reserves of oil underground. As a result, the Arabic-speaking Muslims were typically the same Bedouins, who led a really desperate and miserable life, pasturing their flocks and livestock across the deserts.

Islamic state of Pakistan

As we know, most parts of the Islamic world are desperately poor; and unfortunately, the state of Pakistan is one of the victims of this destitution. This country came into existence in 1947 after the division of India. The demand of Muslims for a separate state was solely based on propaganda by them that Muslims and Hindus are two different nations, and they can’t live together. However, today in India, there are more Muslims than that of living in Pakistan.

In Pakistan today, almost everyone is living his/her life in despondency and desperation. There is no sign of optimism on their faces; their rights have been taken away from them; there is no concept of social-security or any financial assistance from their government. Consequently, they live in continual anxiety about the next day, about the future of their children.

The condition in Pakistan has now deteriorated so much so that it is real hard for parents to feed their one child, and pay the bills that they receive every month. As a result, some parents commit suicide; some kill their children; some mothers in rural areas leave their children alone and run away to unknown places. These kinds of news are published almost daily in local papers. Not only this, but also some more funny news we find to read about illegal relationships; such as, uncle killed his nephew over love-affair with his aunt; husband kills his wife over doubt of her disloyalty etc.

In the 1980s, the inclination toward the West grew more, especially in Pakistani youngsters and youths. They intended to study abroad to make their reason more justified. Through this guise, most of upper class Pakistanis got able to get out of Pakistan very easily, and never thought of returning. As a result, European and American embassies had to make changes in rules to make the issuance of visas more and more strict and difficult. By the early 1990s, it was almost impossible for any Pakistani to get even a visit visa for certain countries. These changes made Pakistanis more desperate. They started to ponder and devise many deceitful ways to get out of their Islamic homelands in order to make a better life in the West.

Agents in Pakistan

Certain immigrant Pakistani groups invested their resources in Western countries to help those desperate Pakistanis, who thought their Islamic homelands are like jails or lock-ups without hopes a good life, to get out. As a result, these groups, the so-called Agents, started earning a lot of money. As a matter of fact, they demanded big sums of money for certain countries. Some of the agents were also fraud: they built confidence with folks, desperate to leave Pakistan, and after collecting the money, they just vanished away, ruining many lives.

On the other hand, Pakistanis Muslims made, and are still making, plans on how to leave their Islamic country to reside in Western countries, no matter whether the means of their exit legal or not. Some of them adopted the way of human trafficking, some desperadoes tried to escape took dangerous paths, and many of them lost their lives along their journey. A very few were successful, and they never looked back.

Gen Zia-ul-Haq, the former President of Pakistan

Gen. Zia-ul-Haq, the former military dictator from 1977 to 1988, also known as hypocrite, was another puppet of the Islamic world. He promised with his nation, right after he imposed Marshal-law in 1977, that he will organize election within 90 days; but those 90 days never came in his 11 years tenure, and he eventually died in a plane crash in 1988. The word ‘hypocrite’ is used for him, because, he promised his Pakistani nation that he will bring a real Islam and Shariah, and by this tricky way, he gained the confidence of his obtuse nation. Thus, the corruption in the military grew, and attraction in recruiting in the army became brighter.

Gen. Zia, the dictator General of his country, made Mullah (Muslim Priests) movements more active; they started to participate in politics that caused a big blow to Pakistan in many ways, notably in economy. Investments and efforts in scientific endeavors were almost stopped, because the Mullahs always stood in the way. Any medical or other scientific miracle was a real threat to their Quran and directly to the religion of Islam.

Qazi Husain Ahmed

Qazi Husain Ahmed is a very renowned figure in Pakistani politics. He was the third President (1987 to 2009) of his party, the Jamaat-e-Islami. He opposes every law that goes against Islamic Shariah. He sent his two sons to America for better education. That means, to him, the education Islamic system in the Islamic state of Pakistan, where all ordinary Pakistanis study, was not good enough for his sons to get a good education.

He is also a hypocrite, because he is famous for his slogans against America and the United Kingdom, but sent his sons to America for studies. While in his post, he delivered fiery speeches in public assemblies against all non-Muslim countries, especially against the USA and UK.

Moreover, whenever Qazi needs medical treatment, he prefers to go to England or America, rather than, being the leader of his Islamic Party, to believe in his Allah, the Quran and the sirat (life style) of his Prophet Muhammad.

The electricity problem in Pakistan

Another migraine for the Pakistani nation is the lack of power supply in the entire country. This problem started in the end of 2007; electricity supply stopped for 14 to 18 hours a day, continually, and this problem persists to this day. It means that Pakistani Muslims live without power for about more than 6 months in a year; they are living in the Stone Age in this 21^st century.

However hard-up life of agony and desperation the Pakistanis live, neither their rulers nor their Allah can solve their problems. In scorching summer, especially during nights, when there is sleeping time, and there is no power, Pakistani Muslims curse their fate and their rulers. The words are inexplicable to be described in this article.

Afghan refugees

After Russia invaded Afghanistan, many Afghans made their good escape to European countries especially to Germany, Denmark, and Holland etc. Majority migrated to Pakistan to become refugees. I can say with certainty that if the condition in Afghanistan becomes better, the Afghanis, who are now residing in non-Muslim countries, will never come back to their homelands (Maybe some, the older ones, who would like to be buried in their own home land).

Conclusion

The reader can easily understand that the religion of Islam can not give what its followers so desperately desires. The hope that Islam will bring goodness and prosperity to Muslims in only mind-view, which it has never fulfilled in real life; it never can. Religion never fulfills the demands of its followers.

I am also a Pakistani. I, like many others, have not only I left my country, but have also quit my faith and religion. I know the mentality of many Pakistanis that they will try to tell me I am wrong in what I have done regarding my faith, and whatever I posted is incorrect. My advice to them: please don’t. I have gone through these practical experiences and I know better who is who and what is what. If one looks around the vast Islamic world, the proof becomes crystal-clear that Islam and its laws have given nothing but destitution, hopelessness and despondency to her Ummah, and, of course, the violation of rights and dignity of its followers.
