They shall beg for our mercy;
to their knees they will fall,
look up — eyes glazed with frailty
(hysteric) –
and beseech our forgiveness.

We will tame the savage —
By any means necessary!

We will crash via iron rhinos,
soar via steel eagles,
and endless slugs shall sting, pierce and
flay soft miserable flesh.

We shall wipe them off the map;
from the page of existence.

Their villages that house them;
their homes that shelter;
their schools that teach and remind them,
and, especially,
their Houses of soulful soothe.

Caged these birds will molt;
unable to flee, nowhere to hide.
We shall taunt, poke and pluck.

They shall bathe in the blood of their abject Martyred.
We shall rule.
We will be obeyed.

They tell me that I am to fear.
To fear what could be if I stand for justice.
Haunts of Al-Nakbah, Sabra, Shatilia, and Dahiya,
still fresh and sore, remind me of the reprieve in truth.
The salvation of standing.

They wish to bring me to my knees.
I still persist and shall forever resist,
fear: For my divine right to,
EXIST!

With my rocks,
I resist.
With my pen,
I persist.
My soul, will and patience,
Declare my right to exist.

Not fearful, but comforted with death.
Death for my Mother,
and land.

Oh, I shall not fear.

I shall persist.
Even with your bombs,
Caterpillars and
massacres.
I will resist.

(Evermore!)

May I be honored with Martyrdom,
My cavalry of brothers and noble sisters –
Wombed from calvary of generations past –
shall replace me in honor
and defend my Mother, land.

(Forevermore!)

Now, we see the panic.
Where the fear of us, becomes the fear of WE:
The lowly spirit’d, meek and righteous.
Until My Mother’s Appeased Henceforth:
I —  Nay!
We shall resist,
persist
and
be free.

They claim they’re an “Army of Steel”.
I say, yes, they are. Draped in American steel,
American can weaponry of holocaust and demolition.
LO! For I’m not finished; I also say,
“that under that steel, cowering beneath it’s false comfort,
is Flesh!
Soft, shivering meat.”

And we are starved!

“The fear of us”, has morphed my brothers,
my noble sisters;
“The Fear of us” is now, and has always been,
the fear of he, she, me, they…of We!

“Deterrence capability…our main weapon—the fear of us.” — Ariel Sharon ’67

For over 60 years that tactical motto has been unchanged…and completely ineffective.

May Peace and Blessing be Upon all of you whether my brothers and sisters here in the States or halfway across the world in Palestine, Lebanon or Iraq or Africa or Europe or my brothers/sisters in Pakistan and Asia; to my Jewish, Christian and Muslim brethren: As-Salaam Alaikum wa Rahmatuallah wa Barakatu. We WILL win. We shall persist, resist and be free.

With all my love, prayers and hopes — Ammar

In reality the West has never really known Islam. Since, it took spot light in the West, Christians and non-practicing Christians alike have never spoiled an opportunity to slander it in order to, just as today,  justify waging war against it. Islam has been subjugated to grotesque distortions which still endure today in the minds of many Europeans and, of course, Americans. Minus the very few-and-between to most westerners Islam can be broken down into three categories: Fanaticism, fatalism and polygamy. Very few understand the basic root understanding of the word “Islam” itself as simply the “Submission to the will of God”. Even if that simple fact is acknowledged the twisting of the faith’s tenants and teachings, curses submission to oppression and fear of an evil entity through a corrupt false Prophet (Astagfurallah, “I ask forgiveness of Allah”). One is then forced to concede the fact that oriental studies in the west have had less to do with academic impartiality and more with a clear intention of belittling the Islamic faith and it’s adherents.

Asiatic faiths, such as Hinduism and Buddhism, especially within the past century, have garnered much more sympathy and interest than Islam, even though it has close roots with Christianity and Judaism with all three springing from the same Abrahamic source. This indoctrination through misinformation and demonization is not a recent phenomena.

With regard to Islam and the Islamic territories,
for example, Britain felt that it had legitimate
interests, as a Christian power, to safeguard. A
complex apparatus for tending these interests
developed. Such early organizations as the
Society for Promoting Christian Knowledge (1698)
and the Society for the Propagation of the Gospel
in Foreign Parts (1701) were succeeded and later
abetted by the Baptist Missionary Society (1792),
the Church Missionary Society (1799), the British
and Foreign Bible Society (1804), the London
Society for Promoting Christianity Among the Jews
(1808). These missions “openly” joined the
expansion of Europe.

(Said, Edward. “Orientalism” pg.100)

Far from the Christian teaching, “Thou shalt not bear false witness against thy neighbour.” (Exodous 20:16) Christian missionaries were eager to take part in European imperialism. In fact several prominent European Orientalists were Christian missionaries, like Sir William Muir, who wrote several heavily biased books on Islam and the Prophet Muhammad, and are some of the same sources used to this very day be those wishing to attack Islam. 

Islam, then, and evidently so, today, is seen as a competitor on the worldly stage of adherent count. From the writings of John of Damascus that falsely labeled Muslims as poly-idol worshipers — a clear distortion against Islam’s staunch monotheistic teachings of “There is no God but God…”; to the likes of Peter the Venerable who through distortion and manipulation of language and text, “translated” the Qur’an, even including nine extra chapters. The Koran, Commonly Called the Alcoran of Mohammed, translated by George Sale, is another infamously distorted “translation” of the Qur’an. JM Rodwell, Muir and a myriad of other conspirators attacked the faith, it’s text and assailed the character of the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH), seeking to manipulate public thought and perception. Often employing invented stories or exaggerating facts within what Muslims consider “weak Hadiths” or simply by distorted facts of Islamic belief and passing them off as academic truth.

“The use of false evidence to attack Islam was all but
universal . . . ” (Daniel, Norman. Islam and the West. p. 267)

Roman Catholic Church, also had a devil’s hand in fabricating, propagating and embracing any attacks against Muslims and Islam.

At a certain period in history, hostility to
Islam, in whatever shape or form, even coming
from declared enemies of the church, was received
with the most heartfelt approbation by high
dignitaries of the Catholic Church. Thus Pope
Benedict XIV, who is reputed to have been the
greatest Pontiff of the Eighteenth century,
unhesitatingly sent his blessing to Voltaire.
This was in thanks for the dedication to him of
the tragedy Mohammed or Fanaticism (Mahomet ou le
Fanatisme) 1741, a coarse satire that any clever
scribbler of bad faith could have written on any
subject. In spite of a bad start, the play
gained sufficient prestige to be included in the
repertoire of the Comédie-Française.”

(Bucaille, Maurice. “The Bible, Qur’an and Science” pg.118)

Take into account from above that even a dedicated enemy of the Church, Voltaire, was embraced when discovering they had a common enemy in Muhammad and Islam. Throughout Europe Islamic bashing was not concentrated to the limited oriental “scholars” or clergy, it was popular culture:

The European imagination was nourished
extensively from this repertoire [of Oriental
images]: between the Middle Ages and the
eighteenth century such major authors as Ariosto,
Milton, Marlowe, Tasso, Shakespeare, Cervantes,
and the authors of the Chanson de Roland and the
Poema del Cid drew on the Orient’s riches for
their productions, in ways that sharpened that
outlines of imagery, ideas, and figures
populating it. In addition, a great deal of what
was considered learned Orientalist scholarship in
Europe pressed ideological myths into service,
even as knowledge seemed genuinely to be
advancing.”

(Said, Edward. “Orientalism” pg.63)

The invariable tendency to neglect what the
Qur’an meant, or what Muslims thought it meant,
or what Muslims thought or did in any given
circumstances, necessarily implies that Qur’anic
and other Islamic doctrine was presented in a
form that would convince Christians; and more and
more extravagant forms would stand a chance of
acceptance as the distance of the writers and
public from the Islamic border increased. It was
with very great reluctance that what Muslims said
Muslims believed was accepted as what they did
believe. There was a Christian picture in which
the details (even under the pressure of facts)
were abandoned as little as possible, and in
which the general outline was never abandoned.
There were shades of difference, but only with a
common framework. All the corrections that were
made in the interests of an increasing accuracy
were only a defence of hat what had newly
realised to be vulnerable, a shoring up of a
weakened structure. Christian opinion was an
erection which could not be demolished, even to
be rebuilt.

(Daniel, Norman. Islam and the West. pg. 33)

Of the above quote Edward Said expands:

This rigorous Christian picture of Islam was
intensified in innumerable ways, including during
the Middle Ages and early Renaissance a large
variety of poetry, learned controversy, and
popular superstition. By this time the Near
Orient had been all but incorporated in the
common world-picture of Latin Christianity as in
the Chanson de Roland the worship of Saracens is
portrayed as embracing Mahomet and Apollo. By
the middle of the fifteenth century, as R. W.
Southern has brilliantly shown, it became
apparent to serious European thinkers “that
something would have to be done about Islam,”
which had turned the situation around somewhat by
itself arriving militarily in Eastern Europe.

(Orientalism Pg. 61.)

“Of all the great men of the world no one has had as many detractors as Muhammad.” Roger Du Pasquier

There is no doubt that for over a millennium people in the West have been indoctrinated, almost since birth, that Islam is a religion of a radical rebellious thugs bent on taking over the world. And while Islamic history is not wholly innocent nor should be exiled from debate and scholastic investigation, it is quite literally appalling and, at times, infuriating that even fourteen hundred years after the death of the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) and the establishment of Islam, Muslims are still categorized as violent extremists via perversion of an “evil” religion.

The Islamic teachings have left great traditions for equitable and gentle dealings and behavior, and inspire people with nobility and tolerance. These are human teachings of the highest order and at the same time practicable. These teachings brought into existence a society in which hard-heartedness and collective oppression and injustice were the least as compared with all other societies preceding it….Islam is replete with gentleness, courtesy, and fraternity.

–HG Wells

Thank goodness Obama was able to intervene and calm this building national crisis. Man, that guy is like Superman. Economy? Check! Health care? Double check! War? “We rocked them Babels!” Totally rad! It was pretty crazy here for a while, but Obama, like the Olympian god he is, swept in, carried the nation’s biggest burden, since, like, the Civil war, on his shoulders, sat these two idiots down, roofied them up and did his thang!

Gates-gate is finally over. For now…mostly! Now, we can finally hear about the Zionist extremists storming al-Aqsa Mosque or the 27 people killed, this morning, in Iraq…or not. But, that swine flu sure is making a comeback, I wonder if it has anything to do with…Nah!

I’m combing through it now…

Let me explain why the Devil has more compassion than Israel, observe:

Under Islamic traditions, Iblis (AKA the Devil his’self) was a “Companion of Angels for 80,000 years”.

He was a Treasurer for 40,000 years.

He taught Angels for 20,000 years.

Was the King of Spirits for 1,000 years.

His names throughout the Seven Heavens were:

1st sky: Abid or “serveant” in this case, a servant of Allah.

2nd sky: Zahid or “Self-denying, abstentious or ascetic”

3rd sky: Arif or “knowledgeable or well-acquainted”

4th sky: Wali or “protector”

5th sky: Taqi or “Devout, God-fearing”

6th sky: Khadhan or “Guard of treasures”

7th sky: Azazeel, I actually can’t find the meaning of this, but I’m guessing it’s totally righteous and awesome. It’s probably the supercalifragilisticexpialidocious version of epithets!

The point is, Iblis before he gave into his arrogance, was a pretty virtuous brother. He had love, compassion and respect for Allah (AKA “God”). Israel on the other-hand was born from his fire, suckled his teet, and built it’s foundation on the massacre of innocent civilians. It doesn’t hold any respect for international law concerning human rights and wipes its blood-soiled tooshie with the Geneva convention, while the punch-drunk international community shivers in its boots when the US vetos EVERY SINGLE resolution condemning the Zionist entity’s gross violations of human rights and dignity.

And that, boys and girls, is the reason why “the Devil has more compassion than the Zionist terror entity known as Israel!”

From my older blog (I just copied and pasted on here):

The Palestinian Center for Human Rights, on Thursday, released the final numbers of the murdered by Israel’s latest offensive in Gaza: 1434 (960 civilians, 239 police officers and 235 fighters). There were 5303 injuries reported by the Ministry of Health, including 1606 children and 828 women.

The report goes on:

The excessively disproportionate civilian death toll, and Israel’s conduct of hostilities – including, inter alia, indiscriminate attacks, wilful killing, the extensive destruction of property, target selection, the lack of precautions taken in attack, the excessive use of force, and the use of weapons such as white phosphorous in civilian areas – demand effective judicial redress. Many of the cases documented by PCHR constitute grave breaches of the Geneva Conventions, and war crimes. The widespread and apparently systematic violations of customary IHL witnessed in the Gaza Strip may also amount to a crime against humanity.

So with that, I figure we should take a look at the history of violations of international law committed by Israel, let’s start at the beginning, shall we?

CREATION OF THE ISRAELI STATE (1947)

I. Illegal acquisition of land by force:

A. SHORT History: In 1947 the UN, in trying to resolve the Palestine issue, partitioned the land giving 55% of the land to the Zionists, who tallied only 16% of the total Palestine population and only held, prior to the UN resolution, 6% of the land. The plan also, unfairly redistributed the rich farmland, giving most to the Israeli side. Given this gross violation of Arab (and human) rights, the Arabs rightfully rebelled against the resolution and war broke out. As history has shown the Zionists won the war and with that increased their land holdings from 55 to 75%

B. International Laws Violated:

1. Hague Regulations (1907) and UN Charter (1945) both include articles stating that the seizure of land by force as illegal. However, even though in violation of both the new land grab by Israel was soon accepted as part of the new state.

XI. Modification of Local Laws

A. Short History: In order to Annex East Jerusalem, steal land for “settlements”, cage the Palestinian populace and exploit the Palestinian economy for it’s own sake, Israel needed to change certain laws within the Palestinian territories it illegally occupied.

It accomplished it’s motives by: subjugating the Palestinians to military orders changing the legal status of E. Jerusalem to make them parts of Israel; replacing Arab governance within the illegally occupied territories with Israeli military committees and establishing a permit system controlling all of the Palestinian economy; expropriating Palestinian land by military orders, which classified the newly stolen land under Israeli law, creating de facto annexation; physically isolating the Palestinian areas from one another via, Israeli only highways, buffer zones, wilderness preserves and separation barriers.
