Which Islam Are We Talking About Here...?

Perfect: ‘You Ain’t No Muslim’ Guy Now Afraid Of Being Killed By Muslims

It turns out that “John,” which is how he is identified, “is not Muslim himself, but said he is angry that terrorist groups such as ISIL claim to represent Islam.” He tells the London Telegraph, “ISIS should be wiped out, because they’re not Muslims, because Muslims don’t do that. It’s as simple as that.”

Except, of course, that a Muslim did do that. John actually knows this, and this is where the story gets even better. Why is he identified only by his first name, refusing to let the newspapers publish his last name? “Now the man behind the comments has said he fears retribution from Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL) — also known as ISIS — after their popularity.”

Well, there you go. The subway attacker wasn’t a Muslim, and the Islamic State is not Islamic — yet somehow they have an insistent interest in cutting off the head of any infidel who dares to make pronouncements about Islam.
Once again, non-Muslims are insisting they know better about who and what are Islamic.

What makes this such a perfect example of the trope is that it is once again non-Muslims who insist they know better about who and what are “truly” Islamic. And that they are doing it in the face of obvious counterexamples, which they acknowledge by their own actions — in this case, a subway attack by a Muslim, followed by a threat from radical Muslims.

To be sure, there are many “moderate,” non-violent, non-terrorist Muslims in Britain, in America, and in the rest of the world. (See a moving Facebook post by a disabled British soldier for some great perspective on this.) Yet there is no point in denying the existence of the large faction of Muslims who support tyranny and terror — documented in polls that range from one in three to one in 10 in various Western countries. Those who are killers or who support murder may be a minority, but they are a significant minority.

A debate among these people about the meaning of Islam and who is a true Muslim is useful and ongoing. But that’s not what the No True Muslim trope is about. The non-Muslims who make pronouncements about Islam are not actually attempting to influence Muslims or say anything about Islam. They’re trying to say something about themselves. John’s somewhat inarticulate explanation of what he was thinking ends with: “I don’t believe in all that.” It’s a message about what he believes, not what Muslims believe. It’s about establishing the purity of one’s own attitudes and motives.

[Emphasis added]

Addendum:
Are Palestinians and their elected leaders not Islamic?

The Leftist Concept of Ideology-Free Terror

People don't get together to just do a little terror. They band together under an ideology. The Reign of Terror was ascendant Atheism in France. The Red Army and the League of the Militant Godless were ascendant Atheist/Marxists in Russia. The Cultural Revolution was Atheist-Marxist-Maoist anti-liberalism in China. The Anarchist Bombers were anti-government and anti-capitalist.

Islam has NOT been hijacked by terrorists. Islam was violent in its most primitive form: the actions of the prophet. The prophet ordered dissenters killed in his name and the name of his deity. The prophet is the source of both totalitarian Islam and Islamic terrorist violence.

The hijacking of Islam, if there is any, is that of the western politicians who continue the lie of Islam as a religion of peace. It is not, it never was, not even in the day of the prophet. Killing apostates, heretics, and other dissenters (say Jews, for example) is part of the Islamic religious dogma, part of the culture of Muhammad.

The claim that Islam is the religion of peace is an attempt to mollify and appease domestic Muslims and keep them from grabbing their bombs and AKs and going into full-blown war in the heart of western countries. "Religion of peace" is a rhetorical counter-measure that flies in the face of actual government practice of spying on mosques,
demonstrating the government recognition of Islam as the source and sustenance of violence.

The Leftist western governments both love and fear their Muslims. They love the Muslim hatred of their common enemy, Judeo-Christianity (Crusades, after all). They fear Muslims for their irrational volatility and unrestrained violent barbarism, which is hardly hidden beneath the transparent veneer of sanctioned lies, dissembly and excuses thrown out by Muslims (all part of the defense of the morally indefensible prophet).

Because both Progressivism and Islam are are totalitarian, they will hold hands until the enemy is no longer a threat. They will, together, purge their enemies in "the pursuit of peace and to rise from their own victimhood". Then they will try to victimize each other.

Unless the rational freedom-lovers can stop them. As Giuliani said, an enemy which is not properly identified can't be defeated. The terrorist barbarians are Islamic; that must be established and owned.

Update:
This: The hate whose name they dare not speak.

And this:
Wartime admiral: Obama is 'anti-American, pro-Islamic'

“A retired four-star admiral who commanded the U.S. Pacific Fleet during several Middle East flare ups is charging that President Obama’s strategy in the area is 'anti-American' and instead 'pro-Islamic.'

...

'The Obama administration has a strategy. It is very simple. Any thinking American should be able to grasp it. It’s anti-American, anti-Western, it’s pro-Islamic, pro-Iranian, and pro-Muslim Brotherhood,” he said last week at a conference hosted by the conservative Center for Security Policy where he heads the military committee.'

Lyons, in the Navy for 36 years and a critic of Obama, said the nation has to come to 'grips' with Islam as something other than a religion. 'Until you recognize that Islam is the political movement masquerading as a religion, you’re never going to come to grips with it,' he said at the conference titled the 'Defeat Jihad Summit.'"
Well, it's not masquerading as such; it is a religion which is totalitarian in the sense of theocracy by terror and barbarism.

Quickly Currying Favor With Islamics

Obama speaks out of the far, far Left side of his face:
Europe needs to better integrate Muslim communities: Obama

"Europe must do more to better integrate its Muslim communities, and not "simply respond with a hammer", US President Barack Obama said Friday in the wake of last week's terror attacks in France.

"Our biggest advantage, major, is that our Muslim populations - they feel themselves to be Americans," Obama told a joint press conference with British Prime Minister David Cameron.

"There are parts of Europe in which that's not the case. And that's probably the greatest danger that Europe faces... it's important for Europe not to simply respond with a hammer and law enforcement and military approaches to these problems."
...he said less than 6 months after Ferguson, and even less time after NYC demonstrations against police. It's not that he has a tin ear for his own stupid talk (he does, but that's not the problem here). He just doesn't care a bit about Europe, its people or its leaders. He's playing straight to Muslims everywhere.

This is hot on the heels of attacking congress with the news that he will veto any new sanctions on Iran. Remember that the "treaty" with Iran is still secret; we don't know what he agreed to with the Mullahs/Imams. As with all Leftists, its difficult to tell whether he is really a "near Islamic" or whether he fears them so much that he will give them anything and everything.

At any rate, he is bowing low and lower in their direction every day.

A Further Consideration on Islam

The Islamic international OIC program for silencing criticism of Islam actually works in direct opposition to its intended effect. Intending to produce an image of "honor" by muting those who would illuminate the internal realities of Islam, they have instead produced a picture of an international organization dedicated to deception, intimidation and persecution of those who would even discuss the Islamic internal barbarities. How reminiscent of the KGB; produce a Potemkin image of honor by use of fear of personal violence to suppress knowledge of reality.

Given the overwhelming propensity of Muslims to engage in redefining terminology to suit their purposes, as well as the massive and continuous whitewash of Islam, mistrust in anything Muslims say is rational. Coupled with what they do, daily, around the globe, mistrust is rationally multiplied into the rational comprehension that Islam is dedicated to untruth, hegemony, and barbaric methodology not just for non-Muslims, but for Muslims of the "wrong" sect: most of the world.

Despite all the talk about "religion of peace" and whatever benefits Islam brings (such as the obvious 70 virgins for martyring yourself in a vest-bomb), Islam can be seen only in light of its attacks on truth, freedom, and human rights. The thuggery is not local-only, it is supported by international coalitions.

Therefore, it is Islam, all of it, every faction and every Muslim which must be considered either an enemy or a potential enemy of western values, western peoples and all non-Muslims anywhere on the globe.

Further, when the western Left attacks a Fire Chief for his Christian, biblical values, but then defends a Muslim congressman who is being appointed to sensitive congressional committees under the banner of "religious freedom", it becomes evermore apparent that the Left is the same enemy of truth, freedom, and human rights as are Islamics. They are so intertwined as to be indistinguishable, despite their separate ideological planes. They have the same objective, which is the conquest of the world for the establishment of utopia.

Despite their contradictory concepts of utopia, they combine forces (reminiscent of the Allies and the USSR/China in WWII) to defeat their common enemy, rational western culture and government. Only when is that has been accomplished will they find it necessary to battle each other for dominance to establish their own version of utopia, Global Caliphate, or Worldwide New Man.

Unless both Islam and the western Left are marginalized, the battle which they bring to us will be brutish and personal. Not a proper heritage to hand to our progeny.
