(London) The House of Lords is the second chamber of UK Parliament.
It shares the task of making and shaping laws and checking and challenging the
government's work and last night they debated the duplicitous nature of Islam. Lord Pearson of Rannoch initiated the debate yesterday
asking the Government to encourage Muslim leaders to re-examine key Muslim
tenets of abrogation, Taqiyya and Al Hijra and to publish their conclusions.
He started off by making the point that criticism of key
tenets of Christianity is entirely permitted in society, whereas it is not for
Islam. He began by quoting from the Archbishop of Canterbury’s speech last year
in which he said that:
“in order to defeat terrorism, we need to understand the mindset of those who perpetrate it; that if we treat religiously motivated violence solely as a security or political issue, it may prove impossible to overcome it; that it is wrong to say that ISIS has nothing to do with Islam; and that until religious leaders stand up and take responsibility for the actions of those who do things in the name of their religions, we will see no resolution.”
Lord Pearson then explained that, contrary to popular
misconception, Islam does not mean peace, “it means submission to the will of
Allah, the Muslim God.” He also explained that sharia law is fundamental to
Islam, and constitutes a complete way of life which “does not sit easily with
our western liberal democracies and our separation of powers between legislature,
executive, judiciary and church.
He then outlined some problematic tenets of
Islam, the first of which is abrogation. According to abrogation, later verses
in the Quran cancel out earlier peaceful verses. The difficulty of
understanding this is complicated by the fact that the Quran is not arranged
in chronological order, but merely in order of the length of the surahs, or
chapters. Abrogation means that, as Lord Pearson says, “the much-quoted early
verse, ‘Let there be no compulsion in religion’, is nullified many times in
later verses.”
The second tenet highlighted by Lord Pearson is Taqiyya,
according to which “Muslims living outside the Muslim world are encouraged to
deceive their hosts in order to further Islam.” Lord Pearson cited as an
example of this, a letter signed by 119 British Imams and Muslim leaders which
claimed that the beheading of British aid worker David Haines “cannot be
justified anywhere in the Quran.” To justify this claim, they cited Quran
5:32 as follows:
“Whosoever kills a human being ... it is as if killing the entire human race; and whosoever saves a life, saves the entire human race.”
Lord Pearson explained that:
“The Taqiyya, or deception, becomes clear when you fill in the dots. The missing passage reads, ‘unless it be for murder or for spreading mischief in the land’. So the Koran actually says you can be killed for spreading mischief in the land, which to the jihadist is doing anything that frustrates his evil purpose.”
The third tenet which Lord Pearson highlighted was Al Hijra, or the doctrine of immigration
following Muhammad’s example migrating from Mecca to Medina for the purpose of
spreading Islam.
Those 3 tenets alone deserve wider inspection, but as mentioned, people refuse to do so for a variety of reasons the most serious being, they are scared to do so, as the Islamic population grows we (The non-Islamic population) are finding ourselves having to subscribe to more and more notions of Islamic intolerance which ironically has been the main driving force for so many people to leave their homelands and find sanctuary in the west. Think I'm kidding, In the UK we have overlooked: Mass rapes, FGM, Homophobia, Sexism, Anti-Semitism, Political fraud, gun crime and general criminality on the altar of political correctness , anybody who does mention any of the above have found themselves ostracised and sent to Coventry . That is why the above debate is so important to the social fabric of British (If not the whole western world) society.
