IceViking - Love human beings, criticize bad ideas

270 million have been killed by Jihad in 1400 years. At least five Islamic terrorist attacks are committed every day, globally. Polls show widespread support for Sharia among Muslims in the West and globally. 200 million females today have been mutilated and 3 million a year are at risk. Islam`s prophet Mohammed ordered apostates, critics and gays killed and was factually a slaver, terrorist, pedophile, wife-beater, extortionist, thief, assassin, rapist, robber, torturer and mass-murderer.

"...good website you got there -- keep it up" - Raymond Ibrahim, foremost Middle East and Islam specialist, author, historian

What is the primary objective of Islam?

The primary objective of Islam`s Jihad (Islamic holy war) is to impose Sharia (Islamic law) on the entire world.

In the words of foremost terrorism expert and former FBI agent John Guandolo:

"The entire purpose of Islam, according to all Islamic doctrine, is to ensure that there is an Islamic State throughout the entire world called a Caliphate and under that Sharia is the law of the land."

National Security Action Summit - New Hampshire, July 25th, 2017.

Or in the words of historian Harold Rhode PhD in his monograph Modern Islamic Warfare:

"The point we of the West must understand is that Islamic doctrine commands all Muslims to fight or support jihad until the whole of the earth is conquered for Islam and subjugated to rule of sharia under a Caliphate. "

Modern Islamic Warfare - An Ancient Doctrine Marches On - Center for Security Policy Press

The Islamic "Prophet" Mohammed as a model for all mankind

Whether or not Mohammed existed is an interesting question. Regardless of whether he did or not, one has to consider how Mohammed is portrayed in the Islamic scriptures.

In the perfect, unchanging and complete Koran (Allah`s direct and literal word as revealed to Mohammed through the angel Jibril), Muslims are told 89 times to emulate Mohammed in all ways.

The Koran refers to Mohammed`s life as "a beautiful pattern of conduct for anyone whose hope is in Allah" (Koran 33:21) and Mohammed as "an exalted standard of character" (Koran 68:4) and that "He who obeys the Messenger has obeyed Allah." (Koran 4:80).

To orthodox Muslims, Mohammed is the greatest moral example in all of history and for all time.

This means that Muslims are to emulate a man who was a rapist, a slaver, a terrorist, a pedophile, a wife-beater, an extortionist, a thief, an assassin, a robber a torturer, a cult-leader and a mass-murderer. A man who ordered his critics killed, apostates killed, gays killed. A man who massacred dogs, sanctioned female genital mutilation and regarded women as inferior to men.

A man that said "Command your children to pray when they become seven years old, and beat them for it (prayer) when they become ten years old; and arrange their beds (to sleep) separately." (Abu Dawood 495)

A man who said: "After me I have left not any affliction more harmful to men than women" (Sahih Bukhari 7:62:33).

A man that stated "I have been made victorious through terror" (Sahih Bukhari 4.52.220)

A man that believed he was "commanded to fight against people as long as they do not declare that there is no god but Allah" (Sahih Muslim 30).

Islam is profoundly different from all other major religions in this regard.

Kindly see for instance, ex-Muslim Dr. Ali Sina`s Challenge regarding the Islamic "prophet" Mohammed at:

http://www.faithfreedom.org/challenge.htm

Also, kindly see for instance the posts relating to Mohammed on this blog:

https://icevikings.blogspot.com/search/label/Mohammed

A reflection on strategy and tactics

The most important perspective strategically is the Kafir-centric perspective; meaning the Kafir`s perspective.

In Islam, a Kafir (a non-Muslim to put it simply) is morally and legally inferior to a Muslim.

In simple terms a Kafir (كافر in Arabic script) is a non-Muslim. One who does not agree that there is no God but Allah and that Mohammed is his Prophet.

According to the Koran, Kafirs are "the most vile of created beings" (Koran 98:6), while Muslims are "the best of peoples" (Koran 3:110).

Islam commands all Muslims to hate the Kafirs:

"We renounce you. Enmity and hate shall forever reign between us - till you believe in Allah alone" (Koran 60:4).

According to the standard Islamic legal reference Reliance of the Traveller, Book O, Justice, "Those not Subject to Retaliation" (o1.2):

The following are not subject to retaliation:

...

2) a Muslim for killing a non-Muslim;

This means that in Islamic law, Sharia, there is no punishment for a Muslim who kills a Kafir.

The primary objective of Islam is to impose Allah`s law, Sharia, on the entire earth through Jihad (Islamic Holy War) against the Kafirs, "Fight them until there is no more chaos and [all] religion belongs to Allah" (Koran 8:39).

In the words of retired American police officer Stephanie Ameiss of Understanding The Threat, in the article To Win This War Americans Must Know Sharia, June 26, 2018:

"Sharia is the blueprint for how the Global Islamic Movement is fighting the war and it is the thing which the enemy seeks to impose on the world.

Kafirs need to acquire "the mind of war" to survive and emerge victorious.

Learn about Islam, with a main focus on the basics of the doctrine: the Koran, the Sunna of Mohammed and Islamic law, Sharia as well as the 1400 years of history of Islam.

The example of Mohammed is found in Mohammed`s biography called the Sira and little stories of what Mohammed said and did called the Hadith. These three Islamic texts-Koran, Sira and Hadith-make up the scriptures of Islam. Islamic law, Sharia is directly based on these three scriptures.

Also learn about the bloody and tragic history of Jihad and the history of dhimmitude (the bloody and tragic history of non-Muslims under Islamic law, Sharia) as well as what is happening today.

Learn Arabic (the language of the Koran).

Learn self-defence.

Use solid facts, clear language, precise language and generally bring your arguments back to the doctrine.

From Dr. Bill Warner`s book Factual Persuasion

Changing the Minds of Islam's Supporters, Chapter 4: :

"The method is this: bring all arguments back to the Koran and the Sunna. If you are the expert, then bring in Koranic verses, but Koran specifics can be tricky. Stay with the Sunna (Mohammed) and you will never go wrong.

Once you introduce them to the idea of a true Islamic doctrine, you can go into a thousand directions to your chosen advantage. The doctrine is a devastating strategic weapon. The Sunna is also a weapon of magnificent power at small tactical details. Once you know Mohammed, there are unlimited stories to illustrate any point you want."

Get active online and offline. Be active every day.

Influence everyone and anyone you can influence, from politicians and journalists to your friends and family (be gentle and respectful with your friends and family and be kind with yourself).

Strive to always learn more and sharpen your skills with regards to communicating and wielding the greatest weapon we have: the truth.

An original and powerful book on how to understand our Jihadist enemy is Jihadist Psychopath: How he is charming, seducing and devouring us by Jamie Glazov PhD. It has been praised by people like Donald Trump`s former National Security Advisor John Bolton, Lieutenant General Thomas McInerney, terrorism expert Steven Emerson, Robert Spencer, Dennis Prager and Michael Ledeen.

I kindly suggest you read this review of the book in question by intestigative journalist and writer on Islamic terrorism, Daniel Greenfield:

https://www.americanthinker.com/articles/2018/12/the_islamist_terrorist_as_psychopath.html

As the ancient Chinese warrior and military thinker Sun Tzu stated in his renowned work The Art of War:

"If you know the enemy and know yourself, you need not fear the result of a hundred battles. If you know yourself but not the enemy, for every victory gained you will also suffer a defeat. I you know neither the enemy nor yourself, you will succumb in every battle."

http://classics.mit.edu/Tzu/artwar.html

The path to victory begins with knowing the threat.

In the words of expert on Islam, Hugh Fitzgerald:

"When you learned about Islam, you did not make the world any easier for yourself, just easier to comprehend. And in so learning about Islam, you should recognize that you now have a responsibility to share that knowledge with others, many of whom have shown they will be willfully resistant to it. But you have taken on this task. If not you — who?"

Never give up. Everything is at stake. We must win. Period.

A personal reflection on Sweden

Sweden has a long and rich history going back to the Middle Ages. Before that there was the Viking civilization.

Scientists like Carl von Linné, Emmanuel Swedenborg, Jöns Jacob Berzelius and Carl Wilhelm Scheele, inventors like Alfred Nobel, Christopher Polhem, John Ericsson and Carl Edvard Johansson, athletes like Björn Borg, Ingmar Stenmark, Jan-Owe Waldner, Anja Pärson, Carolina Klüft and Sarah Sjöström, cultural personalities like August Strindberg, Ingmar Bergman, Astrid Lindgren, Ingrid Bergman, Alexander Roslin, Gustaf Hesselius, Gustav Lundberg, Franz Berwald, Birgit Nilsson, Jussi Björling and Karin Boye.

Swedish history (like with other countries) also has dark chapters, like Sweden`s so-called "neutrality" during the Second World War and much else.

After the war however, Sweden still came to be considered by many to be one of the most successful countries in the world.

Swedish Social Democracy also accomplished many good things after the Second World War and generally governed Sweden in a skillful way.

Sweden was a socially coherent society with a strong work ethic and sense of national pride.

It was a well-functioning and well-organized country.

It had a strong economy with fine industries and companies like IKEA, Skanska, Ericsson, Volvo and Saab.

It had high quality schools and a sophisticated media.

It provided free education at all levels as well as free healthcare and dental care of excellent quality.

It took good care of it`s old folks and it`s children.

The sick or unemployed were taken care of well.

Unemployment was low and there was housing for everyone.

It had a powerful military and respected police force.

Many people did not feel a need to lock their doors, even in urban areas.

Swedish water, nature and animals were cherished.

Swedes were pioneers with regards to laws regarding freedom of speech going back to the 18th century. Today freedom of speech is increasingly under threat in Sweden (and the West).

This does not in any way mean that the Swedish society back then was perfect. There were, for instance, forced lobotomizations and forced sterilizations committed by the state against innocent people for reasons that we today would consider nonexistent.

These days Sweden has many problems but there are also many people fighting to solve them.

With regards to criticism of Islam there are knowledgeable critics like Bertil Malmberg and Mona Walter.

There are organizations like the National Association Against Honor Violence and the Central Committee of Ex-Muslims in Scandinavia.

There is also an organisation called Doku that devote all of their journalistic work to exposing and looking at the Swedish jihadi scene.

There are democratically sound alternative media from left to right, like Ledarsidorna.se, Samtiden and Kvartal and democratically sound individual dissident voices of various outlooks, like Dr. Tino Sanandaji, Dr. Magnus Norell, Dr. Magnus Ranstorp, Aje Carlbom, Paulina Neuding, Johan Westerholm, Rebecca Weidmo Uvell and Johan Lundberg.

Mainstream media is to a large extent politically correct or dishonest and has in many instances persecuted people for their opinions.

I should also say there are problematic "alternative media" as well as prominent problematic individuals and organizations on both the far-left and the far-right part of the political spectrum.

Swedish Nazism is still active with regards to terrorism.

On the far-right there is Red Ice Radio, Granskning Sverige, Nya Tider, Motpol, Tidningen Svegot and Fria Tider, Arktos Media and Nordisk Alternativhöger and others as problematic.

Some of the problematic individuals of the far-right are Ingrid Carlqvist (Holocaust-denial), Fabian Fjälling, Henrik Palmgren, Joakim Andersen, Daniel Friberg and Christopher Dulny, Jan Milld (Holocaust-denial).

There is a problematic new far-right party called Alternativ För Sverige whose leadership was kicked out of the Sweden Democrats for good reason.

It is not a pro-Israel party, it is a pro-palestinian party.

They have a history of deeply problematic statements and actions.

They are deceptive. They should not be supported.

Alternativ för Sverige is a dangerous extremist political party.

Many of these individuals sadly have a sympathetic reception abroad from well-meaning people that I assume probably do not know who these Swedish individuals really are.

There is of course a lot of extremism also on the political left, involving violence, antisemitism and racism.

There is also the Sweden Democrats, a political party with a deeply problematic past involving nazism and racism that under the leadership of Jimmie Åkesson claims to have undergone a long process of reform.

Continually throughout all these years they have had scandal after scandal of their politicians embracing nazism, racism and antisemitism. These extremist politicians have then been ousted.

They recently ousted their entire youth organisation for extremism and other reasons.

They have faced strong opposition for decades yet they have despite this become one of the most popular and influential political parties in Sweden.

Today they officially disavow antisemitism and racism, whether it comes from the far-right, the far-left or Islamic antisemitism.

They also condemn "palestinian" terrorism and claim to be supportive of Israel.

They are sadly the only party in parliament that consistently discusses Islam in an informed way.

I would also like to mention a party in parliament called Vänsterpartiet (the Left Party) which for many decades was openly communist and still has a long way to go before it can be said to have reformed in a credible way.

A radical feminist party called Feministiskt Initiativ (Feminist Initiative) has fortunately not entered parliament but was for a time put in the European Parliament by a segment of the voting population of Sweden.

As in other countries there is also a strong element of Jihadist infiltration in Swedish politics.

Literary scholar Johan Lundberg has written about Jihadism in Sweden in his book Ljusets fiender ("Enemies of the light" in English).

The Muslim Brotherhood has been particularly successful infiltrating the Left Party, the Green Party and the Social Democrats.

Three serious researchers that have looked at Muslim Brotherhood infiltration in Sweden are Magnus Norell, Aje Carlbom and Sameh Egyptson.

Two serious journalists that have looken critically at the Muslim Brotherhood in Sweden are Johan Westerholm and Rebecca Weidmo Uvell though they are not the only ones by any means.

Sweden has many problems but they can be solved and the dissident resistance will continue to grow.

A few words about Poland

Poland was the nation that together with it`s Christian allies gave Europe a decisive victory over the Turkish Caliphate at the Battle of Vienna in 1683, initiating the decline of Islam in Europe.

Today Polish democracy has serious problems.

Bizarre conspiracy theories about the Smolensk plane crash, political persecution of the opposition, an unfree media, making certain speech about Polish complicity in the Holocaust illegal, and a deep seated and open antisemitism are some of these serious problems.

Today antisemitism is strong and open in Poland and is present at the highest political level, in the media and in the Polish Catholic church.

Yad Vashem, Israel’s Holocaust memorial and research center, has stated that the government-in-exile “did not act resolutely on behalf of Poland’s Jewish citizens” and much of the Polish resistance “not only failed to help Jews, but was also not infrequently actively involved in persecuting them,”.

After the Second World War there were pogroms in Poland.

In 1968 there was state sponsored antisemitic persecution inside Poland and Poland forced out thousands of Jews and made them stateless.

A study undertaken in 2002 determined that one in four Poles claimed that Jews were secretly plotting to rule the world.

However, according to Polish historian Adam Michnik, antisemitism is not a given of Polish culture and has consistently been challenged.

On the subject of Polish antisemitism, kindly see for instance:

Hopefully Poland will someday become a real democracy again and admit to and deal with the issue of Polish antisemitism, present both in Polish history and today.

A personal reflection on the Freedom of Speech

The Freedom of Speech has a long history going back to ancient Athens and Rome.

In the words of American classicist and military historian Victor David Hanson: "Western civilization`s creed is free thought and expression".

Today the Freedom of Speech is under serious threat in many ways.

Hate speech laws should be replaced with real freedom of speech akin to what exists in the United States under the 1st Amendment.

There is no Freedom of Speech in Islam and Islamic Sharia Law.

Sharia does not allow freedom of thought or expression.

No thought is allowed that contradicts the Koran or the Sunna.

Recall for instance the Danish Mohammed cartoon crisis and it`s aftermath, the assassination attempts on Swedish artist Lars Vilks, the Charlie Hebdo massacre in France, the death fatwa on Salman Rushdie, the attempted massacre at the Garland, Texas "Draw Mohammed" free speech event or the blasphemy death sentence of Pakistani Christian Asia Bibi.

Also see for instance Ten Key Point on Islamic Blasphemy Law and Non-Muslims by Dr. Andrew Bostom:

http://www.andrewbostom.org/2013/03/eight-key-points-on-islamic-blasphemy-law-and-non-muslims/

There is furthermore a growing online censorship by Google, YouTube, Facebook, Twitter, Mastercard, Discover, Visa and others.

United States President Donald J. Trump has stated on twitter that:

"Facebook, Twitter and Google are so biased toward the Dems it is ridiculous! Twitter, in fact, has made it much more difficult for people to join @realDonaldTrump. They have removed many names & greatly slowed the level and speed of increase. They have acknowledged-done NOTHING!"

A reflection relating to Communism, Nazism and Islam

One of the greatest evils in human history, Communism has killed roughly 100 million people. The highest death tolls that have been documented in communist states occured in the Soviet Union under Joseph Stalin, in the People`s Republic of China under Mao Zedong and in Cambodia under the Khmer Rouge. There have also been killings on a smaller scale in North Korea, Vietnam and some Eastern European, African and Latin American countries.

See for instance the documentary:

The Soviet Story

The previous right-wing government of Sweden under prime minister Fredrik Reinfeldt were in the right when they made the teaching of the crimes of Communism in our schools an issue of national concern.

The Social Democrat prime minister Göran Persson was instrumental in making the teaching of the crimes of the evil Nazi ideology and the Holocaust in our schools an issue of national concern.

In this way, the history of Islam could be taught.

A history of Jihad genocide, beginning with the Islamic prophet Mohammed and his genocide of the Bani Qurayza, a Jewish tribe in Medina.

Kindly see:

http://www.faithfreedom.org/challenge/massmurderer.htm

Clear through the first four Rightly Guided Caliphs and the genocide of Hindus that over the course of centuries obtains to 80 million victims into the turn of the 20th century and the Turkish Jihad genocide of Christians, later followed by the brutal Jihad conquest and Islamization of Northern Cyprus. The massacre, enslavement, rape and pillage of ISIS and the genocide of Christians in Nigeria in our time.

Hundreds of thousands of Christians have been killed since the 9/11 terror attacks.

After 1400 years of Islamic Jihad roughly 270 million people have been killed by the political act of Jihad.

Kindly see, Bill Warner, PhD:

Tears of Jihad, at:

https://www.politicalislam.com/tears-of-jihad/

The history of Islam`s genocide and "slow motion genocide", persecution and oppression of non-Muslims over 1400 years should never be forgotten.

The persecution of millions of non-Muslims in Muslim lands sadly continues to this day and this persecution was always a part of Muslim history.

A history of divinely sanctioned slavery that obtains to millions of victims; at least as many as the transatlantic slave trade. And in some parts of the world has never ceased.

A history of unspeakable, inhuman, tyrannical and systematic oppression, degradation and humilitation of women and girls. Where women have no human rights, are treated as enemies, or property to be raped, beaten, mutilated, bought and sold, killed and brainwashed in the most vile ways. Where women are viewed as being less than human in every way.

A reflection relating to the Muslim Brotherhood

The Muslim Brotherhood is not the only internal threat in the West but it is an important one (other internal threats include Iranian, Turkish and South Asian organizations).

The Muslim Brotherhood is a global organization founded in Egypt in 1928.

Sheikh Yusuf Al-Qaradawi is a highly influential spiritual leader of the Muslim Brotherhood and one of the most influential clerics in Sunni Islam. He has on numerous occasions expressed support for terrorism and voiced many intolerant views.

In a January 2009 speech that aired on Al Jazeera, Qaradawi said:

"Throughout history, Allah has imposed upon the [Jews] people who would punish them for their corruption. The last punishment was carried out by Hitler. By means of all the things he did to them - even though they exaggerated this issue - he managed to put them in their place. This was divine punishment for them. Allah willing, the next time will be at the hands of the believers."

When asked if female rape victims should be punished under Islam, Qaradawi replied: “To be absolved from guilt, the raped woman must have shown some sort of good conduct.... Since Islam addresses women to maintain their modesty, as not to open the door for evil…. [F]or a rape victim to be absolved from guilt, she must not be the one that opens … her dignity for deflowering.”

In 2004 Qaradawi wrote a fatwa that presented burning or stoning as acceptable penalties for those who practice homosexuality, adding: “While such punishments may seem cruel, they have been suggested to maintain the purity of the Islamic society and to keep it clean of perverted elements.”

According to Qaradawi, Islam’s practice of executing apostates has served to ensure Islam’s survival since the 15th century: “If they had gotten rid of the apostasy punishment Islam wouldn’t exist today.

An academic report about the Muslim Brotherhood in Sweden by Aje Carlbom; "Islamic activism in a multicultural context - ideological continuity or change?" was rather recently made available online in Swedish and English by the Swedish Civil Contingencies Agency.

There are similar reports in other countries, like Britain and Austria and in the United States there are efforts to designate the Muslim Brotherhood a terrorist organization.

A personal reflection relating to Islam and Women

The Islamic "prophet" Mohammed regarded women as inferior to men. He said that they were deficient in intelligence and religion (Sahih Bukhari 2:24:541) and that the majority of the inhabitants of hell are women (Sahih Muslim 36:6597). Mohammed also said that "The woman advances and retires in the shape of a devil" (Sahih Muslim 8:3240) and that "After me I have left not any affliction more harmful to men than women" (Sahih Bukhari 7:62:33).

Kindly see:

https://wikiislam.net/wiki/Women_are_Deficient_in_Intelligence

Women under Islamic Law, Sharia, are without human rights.

Sharia Law is in accord with and is directly based on the perfect and unchanging scriptures of Islam; the Koran (Allah`s direct, literal and perfect word as "revealed" to Mohammed through the angel Jibril), the Hadith (stories of what Mohammed said and did) and the Sira (biographies of the Islamic prophet Mohammed).

Islamic law (Sharia) requires Muslim women to cover themselves.

Bill Warner PhD, has aptly called the Hijab "a political symbol of Sharia supremacy".

There is ample support for "the veil" in the scriptures of Islam, such as:

O Prophet! Tell thy wives and daughters, and the believing women, that they should cast their outer garments over their persons (when abroad): that is most convenient, that they should be known (as such) and not molested. And Allah is Oft-Forgiving, Most Merciful. (Koran 24:31)

“O Prophet, tell your wives and your daughters and the women of the believers to bring down over themselves of their outer garments. That is more suitable that they will be known and not be abused. And ever is Allah Forgiving and Merciful.” (Koran 33:59)

The Islamic prophet Mohammed was a rapist and there is a record in the Islamic scriptures of his companions raping women with Mohammed`s permission.

The Koran; in chapter 4, verse 34, authorizes Muslims to beat disobedient wives:

"Men have authority over women because God has made the one superior to the other, and because they spend their wealth to maintain them. Good women are obedient. They guard their unseen parts because God has guarded them. As for those from whom you fear disobedience, admonish them and send them to beds apart and beat them. Then if they obey you, take no further action against them. Surely God is high, supreme. Dawood."

Great Islamic scholars; from Al-Tabari, Ibn Kathir and Baidawi, to the Jalalain, Ibn Abbas, Al Qurtubi and Al-Nawawi are uniform in their positions on 4:34.

Great Islamic scholars from Al-Tabari, Ibn-Kathir, Ibn Abbas, Al-Jalalayn and Al-Zamakshari to Sayyid Abul Ala Maududi have in their Tafsirs (Koranic exegesis) interpreted Koran 65:4 as discussing marriage to females who have not yet begun menstruating (i.e., are prepubescent).

For instance, Pakistani scholar Sayyid Abul Ala Maududi (1903-1979) states regarding this verse :

"Here, one should bear in mind the fact that according to theexplanations given in the Quran the question of the waiting period arises in respect of the women with whom marriage may have been consummated, for there is no waiting-period in case divorce is pronounced before the consummation of marriage. (Al-Ahzab: 49). Therefore, making mention of the waiting-period for the girls who have not yet menstruated, clearly proves that it is not only permissible to give away the girl in marriage at this age but it is also permissible for the husband to consummate marriage with her. Now, obviously no Muslim has the right to forbid a thing which the Quran has held as permissible."

According to ex-Muslim Iranian-American author and thinker Dr. Ali Sina, the Islamic prophet Mohammed was (among other things) a mass murderer, a rapist, a pedophile, a misogynist, a lecher, a terrorist, a torturer, an assassin, a cult-leader, a narcissist and a mad man.

Sharia Law is an integrated, holistic system whose parts cannot be separated from the whole.

In the words of scholar Dr. Andrew Bostom (see Sharia versus Freedom, Frontpage Magazine, October 18, 2012,

http://www.frontpagemag.com/fpm/148950/sharia-versus-freedom-jamie-glazov):

"Thus Sharia, Islamic law, is not merely holistic, in the general sense of all-encompassing, but totalitarian, regulating everything from the ritual aspects of religion, to personal hygiene, to the governance of an Islamic state, bloc of states, or global Islamic order. Clearly, this latter political aspect is the most troubling, being an ancient antecedent of more familiar modern totalitarian systems. Specifically, Sharia’s liberty-crushing and dehumanizing political aspects feature: open-ended jihadism to subjugate the world to a totalitarian Islamic order; rejection of bedrock Western liberties—including freedom of conscience and speech—enforced by imprisonment, beating, or death; discriminatory relegation of non-Muslims to outcast, vulnerable pariahs, and even Muslim women to subservient chattel; and barbaric punishments which violate human dignity, such as amputation for theft, stoning for adultery, and lashing for alcohol consumption."

In a sense Islam is, simply put, an idea. No more, no less. One can be critical of an idea but still respect (even feel love towards) the human beings who hold to it.

I sincerely believe that "women`s rights" (not feminism) has the power to transform the world through love.

A reflection on Islamic law, Sharia

Sharia is the most important element of Islamic doctrine.

Islam is Sharia. Sharia is Islam.

The Sharia is based on the perfect and unchanging Koran and Sunna. Therefore, the Sharia is perfect and unchanging.

Sharia is considered divine.

It is a capital crime for Muslims to deny Sharia in any way.

There is no "moderate" Sharia in Islam.

Although there are minor differences between schools of Sharia, both Sunni schools and Shia schools of Sharia mandate Jihad and agree that apostates are to be killed, for instance.

Kindly see:

https://icevikings.blogspot.com/2018/11/bill-warner-phd-interpretations-of.html

The legal definition of Jihad is holy war against Kafirs to establish Sharia on the entire earth.

According to the standard Islamic legal reference Reliance of the Traveller:

"Jihad means to war against non-Muslims, and is etymologically derived from the word mujahada, signifying warfare to establish the religion." (o9.0)

In the words of retired police officer Stephanie Ameiss of Understanding The Threat, in the article To Win This War Americans Must Know Sharia, June 26, 2018:

"Sharia is the blueprint for how the Global Islamic Movement is fighting the war and it is the thing which the enemy seeks to impose on the world.

They tell us sharia is their goal everyday. They hold up signs, put up billboards, and put it out on television and social media. They say it in open court, they scream it in public, and thousands of speeches by Islamic scholars and leaders can be seen at places like MEMRI where they are constantly and clearly calling for warfare against non-muslims (JIHAD) until the world is under the rule of sharia.

Therefore, the professional response by U.S. military, law enforcement, intelligence professionals and leaders is to simply read Islamic law.

When a person does this they will quickly learn Al Qaeda and ISIS have never misquoted sharia to support their actions.

Crucifixion, beheading, stoning, rape, and other behaviors are all legal under sharia. But you have to read sharia to know it.

When you read sharia you will learn it is a capital crime for muslims to teach other muslims anything incorrect about Islam, and it is obligatory for muslims to lie to non-muslims when the goal is obligatory…like jihad.

Therefore, to be professional you must read authoritative books of Islamic law written by Islamic authorities for muslim audiences."

Every verse in the Koran has been legally defined in a book called the Tafsir.

The Koran states that whatever was revealed to Mohammed chronologically last legally overrules anything that came before it. This is the Koranic concept of "abrogation" (Koran 2:106). Islamic scholars have published lists of the 114 Koranic chapters in chronological order.

A Muslim is someone who submits to Islam and submitting to Islam means obeying the Sharia of Allah.

In the words of scholar Andrew Bostom M.D. (see Sharia versus Freedom, Frontpage Magazine, October 18, 2012,

http://www.frontpagemag.com/fpm/148950/sharia-versus-freedom-jamie-glazov):

From Chapter 1: "The One Organizing Principle", page 33:

"The intention of Shariah authorities today is to limit the knowledge of non-Muslims to what they are allowed to know about Islam. If we read the books that the enemy declares are the basis of his intentions, we will better understand the nature of the threat. Because the enemy knows he lacks the kinetic ability to defeat us in battle, it is of utmost importance that he prevents us from defining him. The primary objective of the enemy in the War on Terror is to keep us from understanding his threat doctrine by keeping us from looking at the fact of Islamic law-"the one organizing principle"-that he, in fact, states is the driver of his threat doctrine. Once we understand his threat doctrine, the game is up. This is true even if he is wrong in his interpretation of Islam and Shariah."

On the meaning of the Islamic phrase "Allahu Akbar"

Although the phrase "Allahu Akbar" is a comon phrase used by Muslims in various situations, it is widely associated with the Muslims who shout it whilst engaged in Jihad (Islamic holy war).

Kindly see:

https://wikiislam.net/wiki/Allahu_Akbar

In the words of expert on Islam, David Wood:

"Allahu Akbar" is an Arabic phrase that means "Allah Is Greater." In Islam, the expression signifies that Allah is greater than anything else, especially the gods of unbelievers. Mohammad himself would shout "Allahu Akbar" when attacking non-Muslims, including the Jews of Khaybar"

Kindly see:

https://icevikings.blogspot.com/2010/01/khaybar-khaybar.html

According to Yigal Carmon, President of the Middle East Media Research Institute:

"As explained by MEMRI in its analysis, the media's usual rendering of Allahu akbar as "God is great" is misleading and omits the aspect of superiority in the word akbar (which means "greater" or "greatest," not merely "great") and blurs its specific reference to Allah – and not to any other deity. Translating and understanding this phrase as merely "God is great" strips it of its crucial aspect of Allah's supremacy over all other deities. "

"The term Allahu akbar embodies the fight for the supremacy of Islam, Allah, and the true believers: past, present, and future; actual and symbolic; military, cultural, or by means of forces of nature controlled and directed by Allah. It is the battle cry and the anthem of this fight for supremacy."

Kindly see:

https://icevikings.blogspot.com/2017/12/video-robert-spencer-on-media-whitewash.html

Author Stephen M. Kirby PhD further notes:

Over the years there have been informative articles written about how the phrase “Allahu akbar” (Allah is greater) has been used since the time of Muhammad as both a Muslim battle cry and for other occasions. However, during the time of Muhammad, there were numerous battles in which the Muslims used other battle cries that were quite direct in announcing the impending slaughter of those on the receiving end of the Muslims’ swords.

Here are some examples:

In March 625, the Quraysh tribe of Mecca and some of their allies attacked the Muslims in Medina; this was known as the Battle of Uhud. The Muslim army, under Muhammad’s command, had two battle cries that day: “I seek death, I seek death,” and “Kill! Kill!” The Muslim army sustained heavy causalities, but the Quraysh failed to defeat them.

In December 627, Muhammad led an attack against the Banu al-Mustaliq tribe. The Banu Al-Mustaliq were defeated, and their property, women and children were divided among the Muslims. The battle cry of the Muslims that day was, “O victorious one, slay, slay!”

In June 628, Muhammad led a Muslim army against the Jewish community of Khaybar. Muhammad told his warriors, “You will not go out with me unless you desire jihad. As for plunder, there will be none.” Fittingly, the battle cry of the Muslims was “O victorious one, slay, slay!” As the Muslims attacked, Muhammad called out, “Allah akbar [sic]! Khaybar is destroyed.”

A reflection on Islam`s doctrines of deception

Islamic history and doctrine show how Jihadists use systematic and artful lies to keep the enemy from knowing it`s enemy.

Deception of Kafirs is sanctioned in the scriptures of Islam (Koran 3:28) and Islamic Sharia law.

Renowned Islamic scholar Ibn Kathir (ca 1300-1373) wrote about this sort of thinking in his famous commentary on the Koran.

The root cause of this is the way the Islamic prophet Mohammed used and viewed deception and the way the Koran has been viewed for a millenia, with Allah himself being "the best deceiver" (Koran 3:54, 8:30).

Kindly see:

https://icevikings.blogspot.se/2018/04/raymond-ibrahim-frontpage-magazine.html

http://icevikings.blogspot.se/2016/10/david-wood-abn-is-allah-best-of.html

http://icevikings.blogspot.se/2015/09/bill-warner-phd-deception-in-political.html

The Islamic prophet Mohammed said: "War is deceit."

The American Islam specialist Raymond Ibrahim has written authoritatively on deception in Islam; see for instance War and Peace - and Deceit - in Islam (Substantial portions of the essay made up part of Mr. Ibrahim's written testimony that was presented to Congress on February 12, 2009), originally published in PJ Media.

There is strength in numbers

Migration has always been an important part of Jihad and this continues to be the case today.

This topic has been explored in-depth by the learned Sudanese ex-Muslim and former Islamic jurist Sam Solomon in his book Al-Hijra, The Islamic Doctrine of Immigration (co-written with Elias Al Maqdisi).

According to author and expert on Islam Robert Spencer, the ongoing migration of Muslims to Europe constitutes an example of this Islamic form of migration. However, it´s not about all Muslims, or even most Muslims necessarily and the arguments made are on the level of ideas and concrete evidence from reality.

The United States is another key target of this Islamic migration as is the West in general.

This kind of migration is an integrated part of Islam and is commanded (and is incumbent to be rewarded by Allah if carried out) in the Koran and based on Mohammed`s migration from Mecca to Medina (in the year 622 which is the start of the Islamic calendar) where Mohammed became a political and military leader.

Courageous pioneering writer and educator Bill Warner PhD has also explained this Islamic method in his writings and videos.

See for instance; Bill Warner PhD: Hijra, Islamic Migration, at:

http://icevikings.blogspot.se/2016/08/bill-warner-phd-hijra-islamic-migration.html

Islamic migration, Islamic polygamy and Islamic birthrates are all designed to increase the number of Muslims. In the Islamic view, there is strength in numbers.

According to Islam specialist Raymond Ibrahim:

"When Muhammad was weak and outnumbered in his early Mecca period, he preached peace and made pacts with infidels; when he became strong in the Medina period, he preached war and went on the offensive. This dichotomy””preach peace when weak, wage war when strong””has been instructive to Muslim leaders for ages."

A Reflection on Apostasy From Orthodox Islam

A profoundly important aspect that in some sense speaks to all issues relating to orthodox Islam is that Sharia mandates the killing of apostates; in accord with the Koran and it`s exegesis, the example of Mohammed and the schools of Sunni and Shia jurisprudence.

This is a profound human rights issue and a basic human freedom.

The Islamic "prophet" Mohammed said:

"Whoever changed his Islamic religion, then kill him." (Sahih Al Bukhari 6922)

https://www.jihadwatch.org/2018/06/mauritania-makes-death-penalty-for-leaving-islam-mandatory-we-want-to-be-as-close-to-the-real-sharia-as-possible

Kindly see:

Apostasy and the Islamic Nations by Dr. Andrew Bostom in American Thinker from September 21, 2009.

According to Sheikh Yusuf Al-Qaradawi - one of the most influential clerics in Sunni Islam and a highly influential spritual leader of the Muslim Brotherhood - Islam`s practice of executing apostates has served to ensure Islam`s survival:

“If they had gotten rid of the apostasy punishment Islam wouldn’t exist today.”

A reflection on the Mosque

The mosque is the command and control center of Islam.

The mosque is not a like a Church, Synagogue or Temple.

What determines the function of a Mosque - from a religious perspective - is how Muhammad used mosques.

The mosques of today are modeled after the Mosque of Mohammed in Medina.

In the words of former FBI agent John Guandolo:

"Mohammad was a political, religious and military leader. The Mosque was and is a place where politics, religion, community and military affairs are all combined."

Or in the words of the Shia Muslim political and religious leader Ayatollah Khomeini, who founded the Islamic Republic of Iran in 1979:

"The mosque is the bastion of the great jihad"

With regards to this topic of "the Mosque" I would like to recommend the book The Mosque Exposed by ex-Muslim Sam Solomon.

A reflection on the Caliphate

From the time of the first four caliphs (successors) following the death of the Islamic prophet Mohammed; Abu Bakr, Umar, Utman and Ali of the Rashidun Caliphate, the first caliphate (the Rashidun, meaning the "Rightly Guided") and the many caliphates of Islamic history up to 1924 when the Ottoman Caliphate was abolished, the caliphs were thought to go back to Mohammed.

Mohammed was not only the first spiritual leader of Islam but also it`s political and military leader. The founder of Islam strived to implement "god`s" law on earth. Islamic Law, Sharia, is divine in the traditional understanding.

The caliph is a person considered a religious successor to the Islamic prophet, Mohammed and a leader of the entire Muslim community.

Foremost American expert on Islam Robert Spencer (author of The Complete Infidel`s Guide to ISIS and many more books, monographs and articles as well as educating and advising military, police and political leadership), has suggested "ISIS" (or Daesh as many people, Muslim and non-Muslim call it) attracted thousands upon thousands of Muslims from all over the world partly because it was an attempt to resurrect the caliphate.

A personal reflection on the right to self defence

In this bloggers humble opinion "gun rights" could and perhaps should be regarded as a global human right.

There are many examples from history of genocide being commited against peoples who have been disarmed by their own governments first.

Under Islamic Sharia law, only Muslims are allowed to possess weapons. Non-Muslims cannot.

Experts have also stated that it could help protect people in situations involving terrorism.

The Second Amendment of the United States is perhaps unique in this regard but "gun rights" is an old idea and is part of contemporary reality in today`s Switzerland and Israel, part of British history and exists to some degree and in some sense even in Sweden.

And a human being should always be entitled to defend itself and her or his family. "Gun rights" or not. Period.

A few words about the Islamic way of war

The Islamic way of war is at it`s core based on the Koran, the Hadith, the Sira and the Sharia.

See for instance; Studying the Islamic way of war by foremost Islam specialist Raymond Ibrahim, National Review; at:

That is, the example of the first political and military leader of Islam, it`s "prophet" Mohammed and his companions, such as the general Khalid bin Walid. See for instance: Allah`s Sword of Terror by foremost Islam specialist Raymond Ibrahim; at:

The Islamic way of war is a brilliant idea, but it has weaknessess. One significant weakness being it`s rigidity.

A personal reflection on Scandinavia

The Scandinavian countries of Sweden, Norway, Finland, Iceland and Denmark have a common history and sense of kinship.

The Scandinavian countries are quite similar in many ways. Linguistically, socially, politically, economically, culturally and in their "state-of-mind".

They also face similar problems with regards to crime and Islamic Jihadism.

In my humble opinion they could also work together to solve them.

May the peoples of Scandinavia stay friends and work together with a sense of solidarity and common sense of purpose.

A few words on Europe

Europe has a glorious history. From the ancient Greeks and Romans, to the 20th Century, Europe has been a primary driving force of mankind in virtually every field of human endeavour.

Today it stands under threat from the greatest evil since the 20th century ideologies of Nazism and Communism.

The issues relating to the ideology of Islamic Jihad concern all of us; regardless of country, ethnicity, religion or political persuasion.

Leaders and good people of all European countries, whether in politics, business, academia, the arts or anywhere and everywhere in our societies should stand together like a rock and be willing to do whatever it takes and pay any price; because defeat is not an option.

Period.

About Israel and the Jewish people

These brief sentences should not in any way be interpreted as being against Arabs or "Palestinians" (a people that did not exist until a few decades ago) .

The basic, simple and common sense problem (at least in this bloggers opinion on this issue) is orthodox Islam. Or to put it in other terms: Jihad ideology, Sharia law and traditional orthodox Islam`s doctrines, history and traditions relating to deception.

There is also the vicious daily incitement that permeates the entire "Palestinian" society from it`s political and religious leaders to it`s media and schools. "Palestinians" are taught to hate Jews and act to terrorize and murder them.

In this context I would like to suggest an important book entitled The Legacy of Islamic Antisemitism which was written by independent scholar Andrew Bostom M.D. It received a glowing review by Professor Raphael Israeli in the Jerusalem Post:

https://icevikings.blogspot.se/2010/02/bostoms-legacy.html

In the words of foremost terrorism expert and former FBI agent John Guandolo:

In Islam, “Peace” is the state that exists when the entire world is under the control of the Islamic State (caliphate) and sharia (Islamic Law) is the law of the land. Additionally, Islam requires the holocaust of the Jews.

- President`s Historic Decision to Move U.S. Embassy to Jerusalem & Islam`s Response, December 10, 2017

The hadith (story of what Mohammed said and did) below is core Islamic doctrine:

The Prophet said, “The hour of judgment will not come until the Muslims fight the Jews and kill them. It will not come until the Jew hides behind rocks and trees. It will not come until the rocks or the trees say, ‘O Muslim! O servant of God! There is a Jew behind me. Come and kill him.”

Bukhari 2926: Book 56, Hadith 139

The state of Israel is the genuine Jewish homeland according to the historical and archeological record for millenia.

Another important issue for Israel of course, for reasons of long-term survival, is the dangerous and foolish boycott movement BDS, an acronym for Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions, that irrationally singles out the Middle East`s only democracy, Israel. This movement is also often strongly antisemitic and in many ways supportive of terrorism.

Modern Israeli history is replete with systematic lies and propaganda targeting Israel. A tenacious point of attack from a propaganda viewpoint is the check-point issue, with an end result that harms both Israelis and Palestinians and puts Israeli soldiers in harms way on a daily basis.

Perhaps the most dangerous lie of all is the systematic destruction of historical and archeological sites and artifacts and lies about Jewish religion and Jewish history, including the millenia old oppression, persecution and massacres under Islamic Sharia Law and the Holocaust in Europe.

In this bloggers humble opinion the Jewish "settlers" in the Biblical heartland of Judea and Samaria (and previously in Aza or "Gaza") are and have in many ways been heroes, being unfairly demonized for decades.

Activists continue to spread misinformation/disinformation about historically Jewish cities in Israel and the disputed territories.

One of the cities that is part of the Bible is Hebron. The Golan Heights belongs to Israel under International Law and is a part of the Bible and ancient Jewish history. The Old Testament has been defended on historical scientific grounds by serious historians.

Jerusalem has been the capital of the Jewish people for 3000 years, since the time of King David.

Israel is always under threat and faces terror attacks continually.

International Law is on Israel`s side and has always been (This blogger is not a legal expert but I have common sense and can read.).

Israel does not want special or preferential treatment. It`s main policy is to survive.

Kindly support Israel.

A reflection on the great counter-jihad

This should not be about Muslims.

IceViking strongly condemns physical attacks and harassment directed towards them.

They are also often victims of the Islamic idea. This is true when it comes to the cruel and tragic treatment of Muslim women and children when it is in accord with the Koran, the example of Mohammed and Islamic law, Sharia, which may be applied regardless of where a Muslim male may find himself in the world, whether in a Muslim or non-Muslim country.

However, in no way, shape or form should one judge all Muslim men because of what is in Islamic scripture and what constitutes the Islamic law, Sharia.

"Race", ethnicity or basically anything that you are "merely" born with should never be a basis for bigotry and discrimination.

Apostates from Islam have been executed for 1400 years in accord with the Koran and the words and actions of the Islamic prophet Mohammed and Islamic law, Sharia.

They should be lovingly helped.

Furthermore, approximately as many as 11,000,000 Muslims may have been killed by other Muslims since 1948.

To quote the website The Religion of Peace (TROP), edited by Glen Roberts:

While it may be safe to say that a true Muslim would not intentionally kill another true Muslim (4:92-93), the Quran places no such value on the life of a Muslim who is not true. Consider verse9:73:

Strive hard against the disbelievers and the hypocrites, and be harsh against them, their abode is Hell.

The Arabic for “strive hard” uses the same root as Jihad - and the context in this sura is holy war (see v. 86 and 91). Thus, there are two distinct classes of people that a true Muslim is to target with “harshness”: disbelievers and hypocrites.

A “disbeliever” obviously refers to a non-Muslim, so a "hypocrite" must be a Muslim of some sort. In fact, hypocrites are those who say they believe, but do not act as they should. In other words, they are "Muslims", but not true Muslims. They will go to hell just as unbelievers do, and so, according to the verse, their lives matter for naught.

The same sura says that a hypocrite can be recognized not just by lack of piety (reluctance to follow Sharia), but by fear of death (9:56), reluctance to fight (9:44-45) and even friendliness toward non-believers (9:67). A true Muslim would thus be a pious person who relishes martyrdom, is eager to fight, and shuns non-believers.

Even the Quranic passage that warns against killing "believers" (4:88-94) is more complicated than it first appears. It never says that a true Muslim is incapable of killing another Muslim, just that it should not be done. In fact, it makes exceptions for the unintentional killing of "believers" in war and mandates the killing of "hypocrites."

Verse 17:33 says, "Do not kill anyone which Allah has forbidden, except for a just cause". The greatest cause of all is that Islam be superior (9:33), which is exactly what Islamic terrorists say is their goal. Thus believing Muslims are allowed to be collateral damage in the war on unbelievers.

https://thereligionofpeace.com/pages/games/terrorists-kill-muslims.aspx

There is sadly a phenomena that I`ve noticed in Sweden and elsewhere of people using true facts about Islamic doctrine and history as a cover for all sorts of irrational targeting of Muslims, ranging from xenophobia and racism to verbal abuse and physical attacks.

This is strongly condemned by this website and does not in any way serve serious criticism of orthodox Islam and other important work.

It`s also important that one tries to express oneself in a civilized way. Words matter.

In this bloggers humble opinion the root cause of the problem is the ancient doctrine of orthodox Islam.

The data and facts about daily terrorist attacks, the daily acts of persecution of non-Muslims, the many opinion polls showing broad popular support of Islamic terrorism and Sharia in addition to the volumes of statistics relevant to the disturbing realities relating to Islam speak for themselves.

A rough estimate of the number of victims of the political act of Islamic Jihad is 270 million dead non-Muslims. These figures are suggested by the Center for the Study of Political Islam.

In simple terms a non-Muslim is a Kafir.

"The Koran defines the kafir and kafir is not a neutral word. A kafir is not merely someone who does not agree with Islam, but a kafir is evil, disgusting, the lowest form of life."

An exact quote, as stated in the writings of Dr. Bill Warner in the article "Kafir" at http://www.politicalislam.com/kafir.

In the perfect Koran (Allah`s direct and literal word as revealed to Mohammed through the angel Jibril), Muslims are told 89 times to emulate Mohammed in all ways (see Koran 33:21 for instance).

Mohammed`s example, the Sunna, is found in the Hadith (stories of what Mohammed said and did) and the Sira (biographies of Mohammed).

Islamic law, Sharia, is directly derived from these unchanging scriptures. It is based on the Koran`s numerous commands to obey Allah and obey the Messenger, that is Mohammed (see Koran 4:59 for instance).

Sharia is the most important element of Islamic doctrine.

Islam is Sharia. Sharia is Islam.

It is a capital crime for Muslims to deny Sharia in any way.

A Muslim is someone who submits to Islam and submitting to Islam means obeying the Sharia of Allah.

Sharia law includes pronouncements for both Muslims and non-Muslims (Kafirs).

Islam is a cult. The Islamic "prophet" Mohammed was a cult leader.

Islam is a "complete way of life", a "complete code of life", a "complete system of life".

Islam is not just a religion but also a comprehensive ideology.

Islam is a supremacist ideology.

Islam is a totalitarian and imperialistic ideology akin to Communism and Nazism.

Islam is a civilization.

Islamic law, Sharia, is a manual for a civilization.

Islamic law, Sharia, governs every aspect of life.

It has a say about every conceivable human act .

Non-Muslims are morally and legally inferior in Islam. Women are morally and legally inferior in Islam.

There is no Golden Rule in Islam.

According to ex-Muslim Dr. Ali Sina, Mohammed was a mass murderer, a looter, a rapist, a cult leader, a terrorist, an assassin, a pedophile, a torturer and a misogynist (among other things).

Mohammed was also, simply put, the first jihadist.

The primary objective of Jihad (Islamic holy war) is to impose Sharia on the entire world.

Islamic Jihad holy war has been raging for 1400 years and continues to be viewed as a holy obligation prescribed by Allah for all time.

The History of Jihad: From Muhammad to ISIS by Robert Spencer is the first one-volume history of jihad in the English language and a great book on the topic.

Allah guarantees Paradise to those who "kill and are killed" for him (Koran 9:111).

A hadith depicts a Muslim asking Muhammad: "Instruct me as to such a deed as equals Jihad (in reward)." Muhammad replied, "I do not find such a deed." (Bukhari 4.52.44)

Muhammad himself said:

“I have been commanded to fight against people so long as they do not declare that there is no god but Allah, and he who professed it was guaranteed the protection of his property and life on my behalf except for the right affairs rest with Allah.” (Sahih Muslim 30)

We should all stand together as allies, for the Islamic idea really spares no one.

We should also strive to constantly learn new things about and relating to orthodox Islam (while being aware that there is a lot of misinformation and disinformation about this topic, including by misguided "academic experts", islamist "academic experts" and others) so as to be able to expose, marginalize and disempower orthodox Islam.

The suffering caused by Islam should be advertised to the world, opposed and alleviated best we can.

We should strive to educate others, understand the threat and act to neutralize it.

And a final note: this is not to say this world faces many other important threats and problems, like North Korea, Russia, China, the murder and persecution of whites in South Africa, artificial intelligence and the environment to name some of them.

This blog supports the Free World and good people anywhere and everywhere:)

Freedom of speech, human rights, democracy, science and human lives are all at stake in the fight against the Islamic Jihad.

We must win. Period.
