Real Islam:A Case Study
The information and data presented thus far is overwhelming, to the
point of desensitizing a reader deluged with it over a relatively short
period. The process of reading leaves insufficient time for contemplation
and normal human emotion. So much has happened; so many lives have been
altered forever or snuffed-out as a result of Islamic Jihadi actions
throughout the world. It is simply impossible to digest and properly
consider on a personal human level the full impact of Islam’s deeds
yesterday and today. The reader is encouraged in this section to put
him/herself into the shoes of someone and thus more intimately consider the
personal impact of the violent acts performed against them by the energetic
Muslim militants. A personal case study is given from the perspective of
one victim and witness in Indonesia, which gives us the true human context
to the many historical and current-news accounts cited herein. The
confusion, terror, and sorrow felt by the victim is representative of all
victims of zealous Islamic militants acting out on their religious
convictions. In the end it doesn’t matter if the victim dies from beating,
having their throat slashed, shot, stabbed, burned, blown up, run down, or
forced to jump off a burning sky scraper, the terror is the same, and the
feelings and experiences of both the victim and victimizer are roughly
identical. What matters is that just before the attack the victims were
largely at peace with their attackers, having no designs to harm them in any
way, and that the victimizers carried out their acts having no empathy
towards them.

Joel-News-International: 21 June, 1998 Jakarta, INDONESIA – ‘CHINESE GIRLS
RAPED’ Bill Hekman, a missionary to Indonesia, reported: Here I submit a
victim’s account of being raped during the May riots here in Jakarta.
Reference to Huaran Bulletin Board June 12, 1998.
“My name is Vivian, and I am 18 years old. I have a little sister and
brother. As a family we live in what is supposed to be a “secure” apartment.
At 9.15 am, May 14th, 1998 a huge crowd had gathered around our apartment.
They screamed, “Let’s butcher the Chinese!”, “Let’s eat pigs!”, “Let’s have
a party!” We live of the 7th floor and we got a call from a family on the
3rd floor saying that the crowd had reached the 2nd floor. They even chased
some occupants upstairs. We were all very frightened. In our fright we
prayed and left everything in God’s hands.
Afterward we left our room and went upstairs to the top floor, as it was
impossible to go downstairs and escape. We got to the 15th floor and stayed
with some friends. Not long afterwards we were surprised because some of the
crowd coming out of the elevators right before we entered the room. We
hurried into the room and locked the door tightly. At that time we heard
them knock at the other rooms loudly and there were some screams from women
and girls. Our room was filled with fear.
We realized that they would come to us. So we spread throughout the room
hiding in the corners. We could hear girls of 10 to 12 years old screaming,
That time I didn’t know that these little girls were being raped. After
about half an hour the noise diminished and we had some guts to go out and
check. It was indescribable. A lot, some of them young girls, were lying on
the floor. “Oh my God, what has happened?” Seeing all of this we screamed
and my little sister Fenny, screamed hysterically and hugged her father.
Tears started coming down from my eyes. With our friends, a newlywed
couple, we started going downstairs. Reaching the 10th floor, we heard a
scream for help. The scream was very clear and we decided to go down and
see. But as we turned we saw a lot of people. I saw a woman in her 20s being
raped by 4 men. She tried to fight back but she was held down tightly.
Realizing the danger we ran as hard as we could. But unfortunately the mob
caught Fenny. We tried to rescue her, but could not do anything. There were
about 60 of them. They tied us up with ripped sheets, myself, my father, my
mother Fenny, Donny, Uncle Dodi and my Aunt Vera. They led us to a room.
Uncle Dodi asked what they wanted, but they did not reply.
They looked evil and savage. One of them grabbed Fenny roughly and dragged
her to a sofa. At that time I knew she was in great danger. I screamed
loudly but one of the mob slapped me in my face. My father who also screamed
was hit with a piece of wood and he fainted. My mother has fainted when
Fenny was dragged to the sofa. I could only pray and pray that disaster
would not befall us.
Uncle Dodi kept trying to stop them by offering money. His efforts were
fruitless. And in the end 5 people raped Fenny. Before beginning with the
raping they always said “Allahu Akbar” (an Islamic phrase in Arabic meaning
“God is great”). They were ferocious and brutal.
Not long afterward, around 9 men came to the room and dragged me. I also
saw them forcing and dragging my Aunt Vera. But at that time I passed out
and everything went blank. I became conscious at around 5 or 6 pm. My head
hurt and I realized I had no clothing on my body. I cried and realized my
family was still there. My father was hugging my mother and little brother
Doni. I also saw uncle Dodi lying on the floor and Aunt Vera was crying over
his body. I felt so weak and fainted again.
The next day I was in the Pluit hospital. My father and mother were beside
me. With all the pains on my body I asked, “Mom, why Fenny. Mom?” I felt a
stinging pain as I said these words. My cheeks were swollen. My mother cried
again and couldn’t speak any words, while my father, holding back his tears,
managed to smile at me. After 4 days in treatment, my condition has
improved. With a sad look, my father told me then what had happened. After I
fainted 7 people raped me. At that time my father still couldn’t see well
after being hit with a piece of wood.
They raped me repeatedly. Then my father said “Vivian, Fenny is gone…” I
was confused and cried out, “Why Dad?” My father couldn’t answer. He told me
to rest and went out of the room. I cried over and over again, feeling that
my life had no meaning any more. A week ago, after I was released from the
hospital I was told everything that had happened.
When Fenny was raped she kept on fighting and so she was repeatedly slapped
by her rapists. The last time she fought Fenny spitted on one of them.
Offended, the man grabbed a knife and stabbed Fenny’s stomach over and over
again. Finally she died with blood over her whole body.
My father told me that uncle Dodi had the same fate watched by aunt Vera
who was also raped. “God…why should all of this happen? Where are you God?
Are you still alive?” My aunt Vera now stays with her parents. She is in
shock. Her face is blank and she refuses to eat. Almost every hour my mother
and I cry over all these happenings. I can never forget. These mobs of
people are monsters.”

Additional comments from Bill Hekman: This is one of many victims.
Hundreds of women and children were raped, mutilated and killed by Muslim
mobs. Some had their vaginas ripped apart, their bodies cut into pieces.
Over 5000 of the Chinese Indonesian’s shops were looted and burned down. A
few days ago another 63 shops were burned in Tegal, Central Java. The city
of Solo was burned down too. There is no protection and no justice in this
country any more. Yesterday, I was in the Kelapa Gading area and that area
was spared from destruction. The police and military had guarded all the
entry roads. The people there had collected large sums of money from door to
door and paid for their protection. A similar situation took place in the
Pondok Indah area. For the people who cannot pay millions to the armed
forces there is no protection. Right now the hundreds of thousands of thugs,
robbers, rapists, and killers live all around us. They are our neighbours.
There is no punishment for the criminals and no justice for the victims.
Yet, all Indonesians call themselves believers in God almighty. Some
Christians are putting signs on their shops “Owned by Muslim.”

The next article attempts to describe the indescribable. It delves into
the spirit and mentality and family support structure that is the force
behind homicide bombers. All involved are completely void of empathy, a key
characteristic of a certain personality dysfunction better known by its
technical term ‘narcissistic personality disorder’.

The killing mantra (Washington Post 6/21/2002) by Diana West
And Palestinian mothers? … The sickening fact is, the strongest desire of
certain Palestinian parents is for their children to die, killing as many
Jews as possible, from infants to old people, in the process.

Take Mariam Farhat. When she got word her 19-year-old son, Mohammed, had
been shot dead after murdering five Israeli teens and wounding 23 others,
she told the Saudi-owned daily Al-Sharq Al-Awsat: "I began to cry, 'Allah is
the greatest,' and prayed and thanked Allah for the success of the
operation. I began to utter cries of joy and we declared that we were happy.
. . . I encouraged all my sons to die a martyr's death." (Translation by
Middle East Media Research Institute.)
The maternal death wish may seem freakish, but Mrs. Farhat is not alone.
"May every bullet hit its target and may God give you martyrdom," Naima el
Abed tells her son, Mahmoud, on a video released by Hamas that records the
23-year-old college student's preparations for a rampage against Israel.
"This," she says, "is the best day of my life."
Almost as good, no doubt, as the day of her son's funeral. This came after
Mrs. el Abed's little terrorist was shot dead attempting to infiltrate a
Jewish community, killing two Israeli soldiers. Consider the Palestinian
scene of bereavement that followed: "All around her were women, clapping and
celebrating his death, while his father Hassan quietly received
congratulations," the Associated Press reported. "Several of their nine
other children handed out candy to visitors. 'I wish all my children would
be like him and carry out operations like that,' Naima el Abed said."
Chances are excellent that they will —and not just to please mom. The
Palestinian Authority may blindly blame Israel for creating a generation of
suicidal maniacs, but it is the PA itself that has helped nurture—if such a
word applies—such taboo-breaking evil through its relentless propaganda
machine.
With subtitled clips from Palestinian-controlled television (available
through WorldNetDaily.com), MSNBC's Alan Keyes this week gave American
viewers an eye-popping look at the pernicious role the PA plays in teaching
young people to kill and be killed. It starts with state-sponsored
sing-alongs for the romper-room set—ditties about blood-drenched soil and
warriors of jihad. It continues with shows featuring girls in party dresses
delivering bloodthirsty harangues: "When I wander into the entrance of
Jerusalem, I'll turn into a suicide warrior! I'll turn into a suicide
warrior! In battle-dress! In battle-dress! In battle-dress!" And it goes on
through the seemingly continuous loop of government-broadcast sermons. From
one tele-imam comes, "Bless those who wired themselves, putting the belt
around his waist or his sons, and who enter deeply in the Jewish community
and say, 'Allah is great.' " Or: "Wherever you are, kill these Jews and
these Americans who are like them and support them."
Mr. Keyes pointed out a young boy in one congregation. Can a child thus
indoctrinated ever make peace? This same boy is probably now caught up in
the latest Palestinian craze — trading charms, Pokemon-style, that feature
the faces of suicide bombers. Maybe he'll go on to Al-Najah University in
Nablus, alma mater of this week's bus bomber, Mohammed "How beautiful it is
to kill and be killed" al-Ghoul. Al-Najah, it must be noted, was the scene
of last fall's commemoration of the Sbarro pizza-parlor attack, complete
with fake pizza slices, plastic body parts and play explosions. … That PA
sure teaches its children well.
_______________________________________________________________

This body of evidence is sickening, overwhelming, and undeniable. Can
a thinking man deliberate on these facts and come to any kind of reassuring
conclusion other than Islam has not quite finished its bloody conquests?
Unfortunately, electing a pacifist President and locking the door will not
protect our children from the designs Islam has upon this people.

By any historical definition both bin Laden's followers, the Taliban,
and all other Islamic militants are fascists. As violent devotees of Islam,
they believe in the innate superiority of a fanatical elite, and are anxious
to torture, jail, and kill any who disagree with them. Non-Muslims of any
religion, women, homosexuals are all dehumanized as their innate and
naturally inferiors. Despite the trappings of religious fervour, Islamist
totalitarianism is strikingly similar to its defunct, secular cousins. It is
not an expression of higher spirituality, but of anomie: in particular, a
seething resentment of Western prosperity and strength. Though they differ
in their methods of control, make no mistake, … German Nazism, Italian
Fascism, Japanese Imperialism, Stalinist Communism, and now Islamic
Fundamentalism are all cut from the same totalitarian cloth. The Columbia
Encyclopedia, 2001 Sixth Edition defines totalitarianism as; “A modern
autocratic government in which the state involves itself in all facets of
society, including the daily life of its citizens. A totalitarian government
seeks to control not only all economic/political matters, but also the
attitudes, values, and beliefs of its population, erasing the distinction
between state and society. The citizen’s duty to the state becomes the
primary concern of the community, and the goal of the state is the
replacement of existing society with a perfect society.”
Chapter 19
The Question of Aid (Jizya)

Paying subsidies to suspend global jihad terrorism is tantamount to paying
ransom to terrorist states, buying one’s own peace and security as
temporarily ransomed privileges. Societies that pay a tribute to survive are
destined to disappear. The not too surprising news since Sept 11th is that
our own contributions have sometimes been funneled to support terrorism
groups. Even before Sept 11th the US had been the largest contributor of
humanitarian aid in Afghanistan and other parts of the Islamic world. Some
plead that the best way to deal with the extremists is to pacify them with
aid and support, but those who pay ransom for peace and security will always
find themselves indebted to their masters. It is a slippery slope that
strengthens an enemy and weakens the giver. In light of current realities,
all aid should probably now be qualified to insure none of it will be used,
directly or indirectly, to destroy us or strengthen in any way militant
Islam. The extortion North Korea is currently trying to extract from the US
and world should not be paid. All aid given to Palestinians should probably
be withdrawn, and the aid given to Egypt should be reviewed.

The giver of aid, by principle, neither asks for nor expects thanks. He
holds no requirement criteria, but is content to give purely for the sake of
charity and their overwhelming desire to ease the condition of human
suffering and hunger. While many people are benefited from our assistance,
it is a sad fact that the response from individuals and societies is often
much less than grateful. This is hardly noticed by givers, because it is in
the delivery of aid wherein benefactors receive their very personal reward.
We see today neither a grateful world nor societies inclined to speak or act
more favorably towards us. We have neither sought this nor been
disappointed at its conspicuous absence, as an army of charitable US
personnel fan out continuing to serve.

When we know of a family’s need for food, it is reasonable and neighborly
to impart of our substance and deliver it to their doorstep. We will
redouble our efforts if we know that a widow, the elderly, or children may
suffer without our help. However, as a practical matter it would be
unthinkable to deliver a spaghetti dinner to a neighbor who sometimes shoots
at our children as they play. When a society, government, or culture seeks
your destruction, the last thing you want to do is enable that effort. It
seems completely irrational to us, but a rationale exists in the minds of
some peoples that it is proper to teach their youth to hate and seek the
destruction of Americans. We are not talking simply about a militant
fanatical terrorist cell inciting its already corrupted members in a rally
or meeting, we are talking about the foundation of those attitudes as they
are instilled into young people by mothers and fathers, by religious
leaders, by school teachers, by media, and by civic organizations and
national governments. The root of all prejudice, including the hatred felt
by those who hijacked the four aircraft, is first taught in the home. Though
it may seem cruel, we need to evaluate if we enable local government,
militia, or activist groups to ignore the plight of its own people in order
to pursue an agenda destructive to democracy.

Would the militants and extremists be quite so anxious to destroy us if
circumstances otherwise required them to be more actively engaged as
providers, or would the absence of aid force these able bodied individuals
to concentrate on legitimate efforts to meet its basic needs of food,
shelter, and clothing? We must be pragmatic and realize that the first
order of business of any society is self-preservation. We must, without
paranoia see our enemy, HATRED, clearly with all its roots and support
structures, even if part of that structure comes from our own government and
other charitable sources of aid.

To help in raising the standard of living and self sufficiency of others
is a noble cause of worthy pursuit, but does common sense and self
preservation now cry out for re-focusing those efforts toward more worthy
recipients less inclined to kill us. Certainly there is no shortage of needy
peoples in North, Central, and South American countries, or in Russian and
European societies as they struggle to transition to democratic governments
and free economies. So how to respond, … throw bags of wheat at them? … Bury
them in charity, sympathy, and understanding? At issue is weather we should
be providing logistical support to any nation where majorities of extreme
Muslim people express hatred towards free democratic nations, and wherein
organizations exist, drawn from a core anti-American culture, with designs
to harm us.
When the British retook the Falkland Islands, the fact that Argentina had
failed miserably to provide for the support of their own forces was an
important factor in the decision making process for them to give up the
fight, which resulted in reducing friendly causalities and expediting the
campaign. This is the nature of war. A military siege, by definition, is
to force an enemy into submission and capitulation by extreme methods, which
outside of war are considered inhumane. Historically, the ‘civilian’
population suffers all kinds of shortages when a government struggles for
conquest or its survival by arms. Although collateral damage and innocent
blood are regrettable and should be avoided, an enemy cannot be allowed to
cower behind the protection of its own innocent victims. It is incumbent on
the peoples who suffer at the hands of repressive and dictatorial leaders
who bring War and hunger to their lands to rise up and depose of the
scoundrels. The people who suffer must understand that the solution to the
problem is for everyone to rise up against terrorism. Humanitarian aid and
rebuilding activity is normally considered appropriate after capitulation,
because logistical support to an enemy is unthinkable. Yes, it is cruel and
brutal, but war is impossible to sanitize to a form palatable to liberal
western sensibilities.

The Red Cross and other international aid organizations did not make
humanitarian deliveries to Japan between Pearl Harbor and the Japans
unconditional surrender, nor to Germany and Hitler. On Dec 7th 1941 the
Sermon on the Mount was temporarily suspended in pursuit of War – once a
beleaguered West realized that pacifism meant suicide. On Sept 11th enemies
we neither provoked nor sought bring death to us, eating the bread we gave
them.

Many attribute the advent and core cause of terrorism to poverty and
desperation, and have proffered the solution of undermining terrorists
support base by providing increased aid. The assumption is the recipients
of the food, clothes, and money we send will be grateful and perhaps start
to love us instead of hating us, but such hopes are wishful ‘magical’
thinking. A study of radical Islam suggests that it is delusional and
dangerous to assume that Jihadists’ ideology is rooted only in social
deprivation, backwardness, injustice, or despair, and can be reversed by
handing out benefits while attempting to bring them democracy and free
market reform. I am afraid that the lack of gratitude is because the
recipients view the donations as a Jizya tax, which Muhammad instructs they
are entitled to. History teaches us that societies that pay tribute
eventually disappear.
Feb 11, 2003 – The chronically cash-strapped United Nations Relief Works
Agency, or UNRWA, said in a statement that it needs more money to continue
its assistance to Palestinians. During two years of violence, UNRWA has more
than doubled its services to the refugees, because the effects of the
conflict have worsened conditions in the already poverty-stricken camps.
Israel charges that the Palestinians kept refugees in the camps, instead of
resettling them, to maintain the crisis over Israel’s creation. Israeli
officials also charge that UNRWA supports schools that foment hatred toward
Jews. UNRWA denies that it is involved in the Palestinian-Israeli conflict.
Hansen said UNRWA exceeded its $400 million budget, distributing food
parcels consisting of sacks of flour, lentils, cooking oil and other
staples, rebuilding houses destroyed by the Israeli military and maintaining
emergency clinics.
