Muslims gather in peace in D.C.

E-mail Print PDF

The gathering on September 25th by Muslims who wanted to "pray for America's soul" on Capitol Hill in Washington, D.C. turned out to be far smaller than hoped by its organizers.

The stated intent of the gathering was noble enough, as were comments from those who attended:

"We can show the world that not all Muslims hate America," said Habib Beyah, who came from New Jersey with his son to participate. "Not all Muslims are terrorists. Not all Muslims are extremists."

Beyah expressed his pride in the United States. "We don't believe in Sharia," he said, referring to Islamic law. "This is the United States. We were born here, and we will die here."

A minister from Waco, Texas, responded:

"When Islam is weak, they will be the religion of peace... When they get the upper hand, out comes the sword."

Traditionally speaking, from a historical point of view, this individual is correct.

We would very interested in having Habib Beyah's sentiments turn out to be true instead. Unfortunately, we are reminded continually about what is happening in Europe and what has happened in all over countries that have eventually become Islamic, to demonstrate the opposite.

    At what point do we recognize the fact that certain religious beliefs, cultural life styles,yes, and even racial viewpoints may be incompatible. "Diversity" is not the road to a promised land of universal brotherhood. The attempt to maximize profits through the importation of cheap foreign labor has been the bane of the West.
    The infusion of foreigners into advanced cultures has led to the downfall of every civilization from Greece to Rome and to our modern society. If Ms. Murdock finds the tenets of the Koran revolting, can we say anytheless of the Talmud or the Old Testament? I would advise following the advice of our Founders and avoid entangling alliances and engage other nations with only trade and respect for their ways while preserving our own.
  • JH Chrestos  - Respect?
    Respect for their ways? Crimes against humanity deserves no ones respect. The archaic laws that force islamic women to nearly completely cover every inch of their bodies leads to vitamin D deficiency, disease, and death. They still have anti-blasphemy laws that are punishable by execution. Even the christians figured that one was messed up centuries ago. What kind of respect would you recommend? Looking the other way while people are tortured and murdered in the name of archaic laws that are ultimately based on the worship of the sun, moon, and stars? It's 2009. Wake up and start standing up to the bullies of the world. Tolerating rape, torture, and murder in the name of some god? Maybe you meant something other than respect?
  • Acharya S/D.M. Murdock
    Yes, of course, it is becoming increasingly evident that rampant "multiculturalism" does not work.

    "If Ms. Murdock finds the tenets of the Koran revolting, can we say anytheless of the Talmud or the Old Testament?"

    You mean the Talmud and Old Testament that I have been writing about and criticizing for two decades? That I have exposed as largely being propaganda bent on hegemony?

    Fortunately, however, most Jews in the West are far better educated than their Muslim counterparts and certainly do not follow either the Talmud or the Old Testament.

    The Koran, on the other hand, is held up by hundreds of millions as "God's Word." Ironically, the Koran/Quran is largely based on the Old Testament Jewish law. In fact, the most devout Muslims follow Jewish law extremely precisely.

    In addition to my books, which expose the farce of bibliolatry, the following articles have been online since the mid to late 90s.

    Quotes from Judaism
    Anatomy of a One World Religion

    I have been very aware of the "lefty liberal" propaganda about Israel, Zionism and Jews since the early 90s, when I began to listen to the Pacifica station KPFK, which is laden with pro-Palestinian, anti-Israel sentiments. While there is of course merit to this perspective to a certain extent, what we see flowing from these particular airwaves, and all over Europe as well, is indeed propaganda designed by Arab and Muslim Brotherhood elements who would like us all to appease Islam and accept it as the dominant global system.

    It seems that the mad focus on Judaism, Israel, "Zionism" comes from people who have just heard about this "lefty liberal" agenda and cannot see through it. They are almost two decades behind me in this regard. I was very much a lefty liberal myself, until I saw what it was turning into. Appeasing Islam is treacherous, as far I am concerned. I am disgusted that anyone for one moment would defend this anti-human, woman-hating cult of death.

    Constantly throwing out red herrings and pulling out the "tu quoque" logical fallacy has no effect as concerns the truth and facts. All of these objections come from people with a very shallow perspective of the world and its history.

  • Frank  - Mea culpa
    I stand corrected re your attitudes toward the noahide laws. I apparently did not make it clear that I find all of these anti-human missives reprehensible. While I admit I have nowhere near the knowlege you have of history, I do have an operating theory which is the following:
    Historically there are two kinds of people..the oppressed and the oppressor..and periodically they switch places.
  • Acharya S/D.M. Murdock
    You think that I would be supportive of the Noahide Laws? Where on Earth would anyone get such an opinion?

    Maybe you stumbled upon this site and don't really know my work?
  • Frank  - Clarification
    I never really thought that you were "supportive" of noahide laws. I have, in fact, read and have in my library most of your books and found them quite informative. Perhaps I did not make myself clear enough. I, personally reject religious(or political) dogmas which oppress free thought. I simply did not recall your specific objection to the noahide laws. The very last thing I would do is defend the anti-human dogmas of any cult including Islam, Judaiism or Christianity. They are ALL equally repellant to me. The 9 year old daughter of a Wiccan lady I know was beaten by "good Christian" grown men because of her mother's belief. Please do not misread my intent.

What people are saying about Acharya S/D.M. Murdock

Feder, Professor of Archaeology, Central Connecticut State University, Frauds, Myths, and Mysteries: Science and Pseudoscience In Archaeology

"I can recommend your work whole-heartedly!" —Dr. Robert Eisenman, James the Brother of Jesus and The New Testament Code, RobertEisenman.com

"Well-referenced, with numerous quotations from renowned Egyptologists and classical scholars, Acharya's penetrating research clearly lays out the very ancient pre-Christian basis of modern Christianity.

Schoch, Professor of Natural Science College of General Studies at Boston University; Author, Pyramid Quest, Voyages of the Pyramid Builders and Voices of the Rocks

"Acharya S deserves to be recognized as a leading researcher and an expert in the field of comparative mythology, on a par with James Frazer or Robert Graves—indeed, superior to those forerunners in the frankness of her conclusions and the volume of her evidence." —Barbara Walker, The Women's Encyclopedia of Myths and Secrets and Man Made God

"I've known people with triple Ph.D's who haven't come close to the scholarship in Who Was Jesus?" —Pastor David Bruce, M.Div, North Park Seminary, Chicago, HollywoodJesus.com

Murdock's Who Was Jesus? had been available to me." —Bob Semes, Retired university professor of History and Religion, Founder and Executive Director of The Jefferson Center

"In addition to presenting in Suns of God the troubling history of religious wars in an easily followed narrative, Acharya goes a step further, explaining as only she can how a once-simplistic idea has been carried into our modern world with terrible and nearly unimaginable results." —Rev. Dr. W. Sumner Davis, Fellow, Royal Astronomical Society; Member, American Geophysical Union; Affiliate, New York Academy of Science

"Ms. Murdock is one of only a tiny number of scholars with the richly diverse academic background (and the necessary courage) to adequately address the question of whether Jesus Christ truly existed as a walking-talking figure in first-century Palestine." —David Mills, Atheist Universe

"Thank you, Acharya, for the important work you are doing. Who Was Jesus? Fingerprints of the Christ just might be the best short introduction to Biblical scholarship yet." —David Bergland, 1984 Libertarian Party Presidential Candidate, Libertarianism In One Lesson
