IN THE SLY WORLD OF ISLAM
● NO MATTER HOW CLEVERLY COUCHED—THERE IS NO ISLAM WITHOUT QUR'AN AND SHARI'A.
● ANY MUSLIM-- SO-CALLED MODERATE, LIBERAL, CONSERVATIVE OR EXTREMIST--HOLDS THAT AS TRUTH.
● THEY HOLD THAT FREEDOM AND TOLERANCE THEREFORE MUST BE LIMITED (NOT BY CONSCIENCE OR GOOD TASTE, BUT) BY A RELIGIOUS FIST.
● THE ARABIC QUR'AN, NO OTHER. IS ISLAM'S RULING AUTHORITY [SURA 13:37]
Any language, just about, allows humans to "double-speak." This may sometimes result in "truth-speak."
The Muslim Holy Book in several verses repeatedly emphasizes the importance of languages and colors.
Arabs and Arabic are religiously given preeminence as points of departure to become pious believers.
The Muslim Holy Book mentions jihad five times only. Yet jihad and violence are so often center stage.
Language--Arabs and Arabic specifically--along with our diverse colors gets much, much more attention in the Qur'an. Accordingly, one may rationally ask:
Why is violence-driven jihad such a strong "strange attractor" that gives rise to all the chaos and tragedy we see persisting in and around the House of Islam?
It truly is a perplexing mystery as we all can see how so many believers bear the upheavals wrought by all the chaos this releases.
