Addition to previous post..An Open Letter to Muslims

I recieved at least one comment on my previous post, from a Muslim who was offended by my letter.  I don't blame this person for being offended, I would be offended too if a group of radicals took over my religion.  My problem is with "Moderate Muslims".  Obviously they should re-read the post and answer the questions I posed there.

Recap:    I am calling on you to condemn the terrorist actions of muslim extremest. If you cannot do that, then it leads me to think that you approve of their actions. Which is only a short step away from committing acts of violence and terror yourself, or encouraging others to do so.

I do not understand why it is so hard for muslims to speak out against violence, are they afraid for their safety, or do they condone it. Maybe you can explain it to me. And please explain why so many muslims feel the need to kill people for not believing the way they do.

Do I hated all muslims...NO. I hate the actions of extremest, I hate the silence of the so called moderates. I hate the double talk of some so called moderates that say one thing when the camera is rolling and something else when they think no one but like minds are listening. I have a problem with the fact that muslims are allowed to lie about their activity and true feelings about jihad to keep the kufar from knowing what they are doing.

Instead of being offended by my post, please answer it, as that was the reason I wrote it.  I visit jihadist websites and try to reason with them on why what they believe is wrong.  My biggest problem is that I don't see any "moderate Muslims" trying to do the same thing.  I don't see people in the street protesting against acts of violence being perpetrated in the name of Islam.  

Islam has a huge following, where are the people crying out??  Check out my photos to see the things that I see, in regards to Muslim protest.

Now, why do I have a problem with the word "kufar", because it is used as a means to discriminate against non-Muslims.  The rights afforded "kufar" are slim and none.  They (the kufar) have to pay a "jirzah" tax.   The following is a response from a Muslim on a jihadist website on my question:  If a person didn't have the "jirzah" tax on non-Muslims??   "If they don’t pay the Jizyah willingly, then they are killed."......Is this something that "moderate Muslims" adhere to??

In 1772 a Muslim scholar, was asked how Jews and Christians should be treated: 

"Those who agree to pay jizyah are to be treated as zimmîs who are allowed to live and work for the Islamic state under the following 20 disabilities: (1) they are not to build any new places of worship; (2) they are not to repair any old places of worship which have been destroyed by the Muslims; (3) they are not to prevent Muslim travellers from staying in their places of worship; (4) they are to entertain for three days any Muslim who wants to stay in their homes, and for a longer period if the Muslim falls ill; (5) they are not to harbour any hostility towards the Islamic state, or give any aid and comfort to hostile elements; (6) they are not to prevent any one of them from getting converted to Islam; (7) they have to show respect towards every Muslim; (8) they have to allow Muslims to participate in their private meetings; (9) they are not to dress like Muslims;(which by the way gives Muslim men the right to rape non-Muslim women, since they are not properly covered) (10) they are not to name themselves with Muslim names; (11) they are not to ride on horses with saddle and bridle; (12) they are not to possess arms; (13) they are not to wear signet rings or seals on their fingers; (14) they are not to sell or drink liquor openly; (15) they are to wear a distinctive dress which shows their inferior status, and which separates them from the Muslims; (16) they are not to propagate their customs and usages amongst the Muslims; (17) they are not to build their houses in the neighbourhood of Muslims; (18) they are not to bring their dead near the graveyards of the Muslims; (19) they are not to observe their religious practices publicly, or mourn their dead loudly; and (20) they are not to buy Muslim slaves."

Saudi sheikh Marzouq Salem al-Ghamdi concisely summarized the current consensus viewpoint of the major schools of Islamic jurisprudence in a television sermon he delivered in 2002:

"If the infidels live among the Muslims, in accordance with the conditions set out by the Prophet -- there is nothing wrong with it provided they pay the jizya (tolerance tax) to the Islamic treasury. Other conditions are ... that they do not renovate a church or monastery, do not rebuild ones that were destroyed, that they feed for three days any Muslim who passes by their homes ... that they rise when a Muslim wishes to sit, that they do not imitate Muslims in dress or speech, nor ride horses, nor own swords, nor arm themselves with any kind of weapon; that they do not sell wine, do not show the cross, do not ring church bells, do not raise their voices during prayer, they shave their hair in front so as to make them easily identifiable, do not incite anyone against the Muslims, and do not strike a Muslim ... If they violate these conditions, they have not protection."

This is why I hate the word "kufar".  If you have doubt about how at least some Muslims believe, maybe you should watch the following movie.  It is amazing what people say, when they think like minds are listening.

This is what I fear.  This is what we need to wake up too, and not just us, but the "moderate Muslim" as well.  Examine the ways of the Taliban.  That is what these people are fighting for!!  More to come.
