More telling remarks from the followers of Islam, spoken from the highest pundits of Allah's chosen ones:

  • THE ISLAMIC MINDSET

    The Islamic Ruling Committee in Al Azhar, based in Cairo, ruled that Islamic states must acquire nuclear weapons for their defense, this according to the http://www.WorldTribune.com [January 23, 2003] .



    One of the members of Islam's highest ruling Committee, Sheik Ala A-Shanawi, went on to say, “The founder of Islam, Mohammad, would have acquired a nuclear bomb to fight his enemies.”
    This statement sounds more "offensive' than "defensive', wouldn't you say?

    Sheik A-Shanawi is no minor cleric in the Sunni Muslim's highest authority for application of Islamic law. When he gives a ruling, he represents the official position of the Sunni Ruling Committee, which is headed by Sheik Al Hassan.

    According to Sheik Al Hassan, “Getting to know the enemy and realizing the different ways to deal with it is a religious obligation. If a neighboring county is known to possess a nuclear weapon, then we must do all in our power to do the same.”

    Again, speaking for the Islamic Ruling Committee, A-Shanawi announced, “All Islamic nations are required to seize nuclear weaponry, giving the [Islamic] nations the utmost respect. We see how far behind our nation is as a result of not being prepared as well as it should be, while the enemy has equipped itself with the best weaponry there is, which it will use to harm and destroy Muslims.”


    One of Islam's own great scholars, Dr. Zarin Koub, former head of the department of history and religion at University of Tehran, wrote:
    “From the beginning, its [Islam's] spread was accomplished through physical violence, bloodshed and war. Violence not only against non-Muslim infidels, but also against fellow Muslims. Much of Islam's spread in the world was the result of traders and Sufi missionaries, this is true. Yet the weaponry—scimatars and sabers, all through the art and symbolism of Islam, makes violence and war a central theme of Islam … Mohammad both taught and practiced violence from the beginning.”
