“Information warfare” at its best!
For a great example of “information warfare” check out the recent column penned by the Ground Zero Mosque imam Feisal Abdul Rauf and carried in The Wall Street Journal (highlights added). It’s worth the two minutes it takes to read it.
Remember, this is the man who started a sharia index to measure how sufficiently governments comply with sharia law, a central doctrine of which is jihad. This is the man who said governments that don’t practice sharia are “unjust.”
Now he’s claiming, “I hope that people of all faiths will accept my assertion that those who kill innocents in the name of Allah are not true Muslims.”
Our question for Imam Rauf: “If your assertion is true, what does that make Muhammad?”
After all, the prophet Muhammad, in the name of Allah, led, organized or ordered dozens of raids, attacks, and assassinations, and thousands died as a result. Perhaps his most brutal act was his order to behead approximately 800 Jews in Medina who had surrendered to him.
Maybe, according to Rauf, Muhammad was not a true Muslim. Well, we know that can’t be the case.
So maybe, in Muhammad’s eyes and Rauf’s eyes, those people Muhammad killed weren’t “innocent.” Note that Rauf doesn’t say “those who kill PEOPLE are not true Muslims.” He says “those who kill INNOCENTS.” So maybe it depends on how Rauf defines an “innocent.” -Act For America
