Islamic France?

This is an interesting quote about the growth of France's Islamic population. Apparently, Muslims may yet "conquer" France by birthrate, having been unable to do so by force of arms.

"If current birthrates and immigration patterns continue, France will be a Muslim country sometime in this century. When Notre Dame is a mosque, and Paris has a Grand Mufti, let's see how smug the French are about their superior culture." --Don Feder

Well, since the secrets out I might as well tell you all about it, seeing as I'll be testifying before the Senate about this tomorrow morning...

The unpublished portion of PNAC has a design to relocate the center of western culture to the United States. To do this we'd either have to take out Europe, or change European culture.

Changing their culture is far more...civilized. And as such we decided to capitalize on a trend, islamic immigration to European nations. We decided to pay off the leaders of various islamic countries to export their citizens to Europe. Initially the tough German immigration laws were a problem, but since we got those repealed, we have been able to speed up the process tenfold.

Oh yeah, might as well reveal who I really am...

See, these statements require evidence to back them up. I mean, maybe the US is backing turkey's bid to the EU becuase we want to islamisize Europe...or maybe its becuase Turkiey let us use their bases for the invasion of Iraq, and since Turkey wants to get into the EU and we want to have their bases open for future operations, we are backing their bid...or maybe its becuase the majority of our foreign textiles are produced in Turkey, and their adimittance to the EU would boots their economic development and provide security and thus profit American busniess that do business there... either/or, really.

I never really fully understood his reasons for being against the US, but I'd always assumed that they were either instinctual or based on real stuff.

But this thread has shown me more than I really care to know. I mean, you do realize how screwed up this theory of yours is, right? I mean, hell, for 45 odd years after the end of WWII we were busy just trying to not die in a nuclear holocaust, let alone worry about making Europe into an American colony.

NB... 1870 Italy united after years of civil war.
1871 Germany united since the days of the Holy Roman Empire due in part to the Franco-Prussian war. To name just two examples of when warfare give rise to stronger cultual and national identities.

Q- How do you get a bigger coalition for bogus wars ? A- Attack other countries for bogus reasons and then you have your army in that country that way they are technically taking place in the war on terror.

It is against Qur'an to force your children - or anyone - into Islam. You may raise them in Muslim tradition, but they are not Muslim until they declare shihadah and they must make that choice for themselves.

It isn't birthrate ... you'll find it's conversion.

That's why we don't give a fuck about the enviroment, nevermind european "culture." And I use culture in the broadest possible sense of the word.

Face it, the Arabs and Africans of Muslim background in France are very very likely to call themselves Muslim when they grow up. These kids aren't accepting Islam just because they think its good and wonderful, there are powerful social and familial pressures that have nothing to do with any religious doctrine. Basically they are Muslim out of habit. So there is a direct and undeniable correlation between the high birthrate of Muslim families in Europe and the increasing number of Muslims, making birthrate much more influential than conversion in the spread of Islam. And in France, most of those Muslims(-by-birth) tend to accept a more conservative and restrictive form of Islam, they are not like the rational converts like yourself. Hence the violent anti semitism and relatively reactionary opinions toward social issues among European Muslims.

Do you all know that when put to the question of what they wanted to see more of in film and culture, the French population overwhelmingly chose Napoleon. All these predicitons about end of French civilization I think are grossly premature. After all, if youll all remember, it was the French King Charles Martel that turned back the Muslim invaiders in the 8th Century AD.

As a side note I do not find any credince amont the accusations of Americans wanting to turn Europe into the USA. Sometimes I think people turn politics into melodrama. If anything, all sane Americans will tell you they have great respect for their European forefathers. But its true, in every Europeanish country, as the great Historian James Burke predicted, the death of the West is indeed at hand. Of course, conversely to the decline of Rome, our decline is based on the downfall of Christianity, not its rise.

Yay, another post by Keruvalia! I just love these, I have to admit. You need to be real smart and tolerant when you start reading.

Sourate IV.89: They desire that you should disbelieve as they have disbelieved, so that you might be (all) alike; therefore take not from among them friends until they fly (their homes) in Allah's way; but if they turn back, then seize them and kill them wherever you find them, and take not from among them a friend or a helper.

IV.76: Those who believe fight in the cause of God.

IV.74: Let those who fight in the cause of God who barter the life of this world for that which is to come; for whoever fights on God's path, whether he is killed or triumphs, We will give him a handsome reward.

V.51: O you who believe! do not take the Jews and the Christians for friends; they are friends of each other; and whoever amongst you takes them for a friend, then surely he is one of them; surely Allah does not guide the unjust people.

Now, let's watch ol'Keru here trying to prove that "it's a mistranslation", as always.

About France. Mind if I talk about it, Keru? Most of the "smart" people "joining" Islam are born in immigrant families whose second, hell, even some of the third-generation don't yet speak french.

More and more people are realizing that of all the immigrant populations, only one has utterly failed to integrate itself, because it didn't even try. But too many socialists dwell in france, which has led to hallal cantinas in some french schools, the cancelation of "christ"mas in more than a few cities, the huge rise of antisemitism in general, fueled by the Middle-east conflict.

That's right, they are so scared of being so-called "assimilated" (something the europeans, asians, and other africans have managed to do while maintaining their identity) that they identify themselves with the palestinians instead of the french.

They do not learn Islam because they've thought about it and said "well, I'm so smart and I hate jews anyways, so I might as well convert", they do it because they do not talk to christians, jews, sikhs, hindi, and instead remain together.

Now, the french "p"Resident, Youssouf Ben Shirak as I like to call him, is certainly happy about the whole situation, but most people on the street now recognize for a fact that anti-white racism now exists. It's not a few klanists in the woods chanting about that; it's the rise of insecurity that helped this happen.

To say the truth, I don't really give a fuck about the situation, either. I know a few languages myself and I wouldn't mind moving from this soon-to-be islamic "republic".

Now, let's watch ol'Keru here trying to prove that "it's a mistranslation", as always.

Nope ... not necessarily a mistranslation, just taken out of context. Can't really pull a single line out of Qur'an and use it as "Gospel Truth".

Actually, I don't recall ever saying anything about mistranslations when it comes to people posting things in Qur'an. If you could provide a link to a quote of mine about it, I'd appreciate it, but since I don't speak/read/write Arabic, I couldn't tell you if something is mistranslated or not - though your use of the Roman numbering system for the Surah is a little strange and your translation is not that of Yusuf Ali, who wrote the accepted English translation and I will use it as my basis.

But I'll break it down for you, if you like.

Surah 4:89 is speaking of people who demand you reject your faith. You damn well better believe that if you come to my house and demand I reject my faith, you'll get the business end of my boot up your tush.

Surah 4:74-79 (you only mention 74 and 76) speaks of fighting only for the cause of Allah and not for the cause of men (you know ... cause of men ... the reason 99% of all Christian wars were started ... greed, power, lust, etc). This is a bad message .... how?

Surah 5:51 speaks of not taking friends from among Jews and Christians *as protectors* (a tidbit your translation leaves out for some reason). Allah is the only protector.

I'm not sure where you're getting your translation of Surah 8:39-42 ... but I can't find any copy or transaltion of Qur'an that even comes close to matching what you've typed.

The beginning of al Anfal (Surah 8), which you've taken only verse 12, is actually a message of hope for soldiers in the field. Do you not support your nation's troops with messages of hopeful victory? *shrug* Maybe not.

You mention Surah 9:5-6, but don't post the entirety of Surah 9:5-6. You post one tiny part of it.

Look, man, I've taken the time to go through what you've posted. What you have isn't necessarily mistranslation, but it is incomplete. I can do the same thing to a Bible, picking words here and there, and rewrite it to make it look like Jesus had sex with pigs ... but that doesn't make what I've done true. Many copies of Yusuf Ali's translation of Qur'an into English abound on the internet. Grab one of those, read it, and decide for yourself.

However, seeing your post count, it is obvious what you're trying to do and will continue to try to do. I, however, will always be there debunking every attempt by every one of your incarnations to spread hatred through misinformation. I will never tire in that cause.

As for the rest of your drivel, I am a Jew ... my mother is a Jew ... my mother's family are Jews. I don't hate myself or my mother or her family. Frankly, I'm not really sure where you're going with all of this.

Read the quote in my sig. Be well and joy joy feelings all around.

You look to the form, but not to the meaning. I'm feeling exceptionnaly nice today, so I AM going to bother explainin' some stuff to you.

Coca-cola and Rock'n'roll are arguably the very icons of america, and, like it
or not, most of the entire western civilization. Against it used to be set the red choirs (which did have musical talent, mind you, but let's get on with it for argument's sake), and nowadays, the burnt-plastic-tasting but politically-motivated arabic colas. (zam-zam cola, mecca-cola, algeria-cola, a whole lot of them)

What VW criticized in his diatribe against America was american culture, which he assuredly despises because apparently, someone forced him to watch TV or listen to the radio.

Now, ask him to compare a virgin megastore in paris, and... um... well, pirated audio cassettes of "infidel radio" or infidel christian bibles that might earn you a nice trip to jail in any of these dictatures? (see the parrallel? communism in russia = dictature, islamic republic = dictature, and there's the reference to the cultural icon!)

Anyways. A less flamebait response would be "you're using the internet, and that just disqualifies you to criticize those that made it possible almost 60 years from now".

But in fact, Jesus didn't marry or have sex with nine-year olds. He didn't wipe out the arabic peninsula from any jews within. You certainly know about those episodes about muhammad, but you won't answer about it anyways, so I wonder why I even bother.

The best part is that you didn't debunk anything. Post the entire sourates all you want, it's still there, and the context doesn't replace the fact that at its formation, Islam was by no means a religion of peace, and mahomet certainly not a man of peace.

Well, here's a good one:

“A great misconception prevails as to the age at which Aisha was taken in marriage by the Prophet. Ibn Sa‘d has stated in the Tabaqat that when Abu Bakr [father of Aisha] was approached on behalf of the Holy Prophet, he replied that the girl had already been betrothed to Jubair, and that he would have to settle the matter first with him. This shows that Aisha must have been approaching majority at the time. Again, the Isaba, speaking of the Prophet’s daughter Fatima, says that she was born five years before the Call and was about five years older than Aisha. This shows that Aisha must have been about ten years at the time of her betrothal to the Prophet, and not six years as she is generally supposed to be. This is further borne out by the fact that Aisha herself is reported to have stated that when the chapter [of the Holy Quran] entitled The Moon, the fifty-fourth chapter, was revealed, she was a girl playing about and remembered certain verses then revealed. Now the fifty-fourth chapter was undoubtedly revealed before the sixth year of the Call. All these considerations point to but one conclusion, viz., that Aisha could not have been less than ten years of age at the time of her nikah, which was virtually only a betrothal. And there is one report in the Tabaqat that Aisha was nine years of age at the time of nikah. Again it is a fact admitted on all hands that the nikah of Aisha took place in the tenth year of the Call in the month of Shawwal, while there is also preponderance of evidence as to the consummation of her marriage taking place in the second year of Hijra in the same month, which shows that full five years had elapsed between the nikah and the consummation. Hence there is not the least doubt that Aisha was at least nine or ten years of age at the time of betrothal, and fourteen or fifteen years at the time of marriage.”

-- Maulana Muhammad Ali "Living Thoughts of the Prophet Muhammad"

Research subsequent to the time of Maulana Muhammad Ali has shown that she was older than this. An excellent short work presenting such evidence is the Urdu pamphlet Rukhsati kai waqt Sayyida Aisha Siddiqa ki umar (‘The age of Lady Aisha at the time of the start of her married life’) by Abu Tahir Irfani.

The famous classical historian of Islam, Ibn Jarir Tabari, wrote in his ‘History’:

“In the time before Islam, Abu Bakr married two women. The first was Fatila daughter of Abdul Uzza, from whom Abdullah and Asma were born. Then he married Umm Ruman, from whom Abdur Rahman and Aisha were born. These four were born before Islam.”

Being born before Islam means being born before the Call.

The compiler of the famous Hadith collection Mishkat al-Masabih, Imam Wali-ud-Din Muhammad ibn Abdullah Al-Khatib, who died 700 years ago, has also written brief biographical notes on the narrators of Hadith reports. He writes under Asma, the older daughter of Abu Bakr:

“She was the sister of Aisha Siddiqa, wife of the Holy Prophet, and was ten years older than her. … In 73 A.H. … Asma died at the age of one hundred years.”

http://www.muslim.org/islam/aisha-age.gif

This would make Asma 28 years of age in 1 A.H., the year of the Hijra, thus making Aisha 18 years old in 1 A.H. So Aisha would be 19 years old at the time of the consummation of her marriage, and 14 or 15 years old at the time of her nikah. It would place her year of birth at four or five years before the Call.

I can get more if you like, but that should do for now.

Bah ... 17 ... 19 ... the age ranges from scholar to scholar, come on ... it's very early in the morning where I'm at.

For the most part, Islamic scholars agree that Aisha was between 13 and 15 when she married and between 16 and 20 when it was consummated. Some do maintain that she was 9 when betrothed - which is entirely possible and I don't dispute that - but this "6 when married/9 when poked" business is a right out lie.

When concerning ones self with the age problem, I can only point out that women in Islam cannot be forced into marriage and the reason the space between betrothal and consummation is so long is because a woman who is given into marriage in adolescense has the right to break the deal.

As for links, I'm sorry. I don't like using the internet as a scholarly source. I could just as easily link you to a "my dog farts golden cheese wedges" site.

I can, however, refer you to the following books (which are most likely available at your local library, or perhaps on the net ... Google if you like):

Tirmidhi, "Abwab-ul-Manaqib", Chapters on Excellences, under ‘Virtues of Aisha’.
"Muslim Saints and Mystics", abridged English translation of "Tadhkirat-ul-Auliya", by A.J. Arberry

One link I will provide: http://www.usc.edu/dept/MSA/fundamentals/hadithsunnah/bukhari/058.sbt.html
go down to reports listed as Volume 5, Book 58, Number 234 and 236. (USC is pretty reliable)

That's Muhsin Khan’s English translation of "Bukhari" (see also Volume 3, Book 37, Number 494: Aisha's own words)

As for the other offhanded comments made about pedophelia, let's everyone try to remember that Mary was only 12 when she was given to Joseph, who was 90! (Catholic Encyclopedia, 1913 edition)

If that's not enough, then I give up.

@Independent Homesteads : do you live in europe? Please refrain from comparing a religion that has produced the sharia and 9/11 to judaism. There's pretty much grounds for any lack of trust shown towards muslims in general, and moreso arabs. Granted, some people who have never seen a person of color in their lives and hate them are bigots. Here, they represent 10% of the population! But right now, it's the jews that fear being seen in public while wearing a kippah or a star of David. The most recent statistics show that it is not racism or "islamophobia" that is on the rise, but antisemitism. One full segment of france's population is behind it, proud of it, and continuing it, and if naming them makes me a bigot, then anyone who's been mugged or attacked by arabs is one.

@Independent Homesteads : do you live in europe? Please refrain from comparing a religion that has produced the sharia and 9/11 to judaism. There's pretty much grounds for any lack of trust shown towards muslims in general, and moreso arabs. Granted, some people who have never seen a person of color in their lives and hate them are bigots. Here, they represent 10% of the population! But right now, it's the jews that fear being seen in public while wearing a kippah or a star of David. The most recent statistics show that it is not racism or "islamophobia" that is on the rise, but antisemitism. One full segment of france's population is behind it, proud of it, and continuing it, and if naming them makes me a bigot, then anyone who's been mugged or attacked by arabs is one.Judaism is pretty much like any other religions. They've produced their fair share of atrocities, starting with zionist terrorism.
BTW there are 6 million jews in France, and they're 10% of the population too and islamophobia is still higher than anti-semitism, despite anti-semitism been on the rise. You being the first example of islamophobia.

It is against Qur'an to force your children - or anyone - into Islam. You may raise them in Muslim tradition, but they are not Muslim until they declare shihadah and they must make that choice for themselves.

It isn't birthrate ... you'll find it's conversion.

With so many people converting to Islam - many of them intelligent, educated, rational people (myself included) - in recent years. Don't you think that maybe, just maybe, Islam isn't so bad?

Nope ... not necessarily a mistranslation, just taken out of context. Can't really pull a single line out of Qur'an and use it as "Gospel Truth".

Actually, I don't recall ever saying anything about mistranslations when it comes to people posting things in Qur'an. If you could provide a link to a quote of mine about it, I'd appreciate it, but since I don't speak/read/write Arabic, I couldn't tell you if something is mistranslated or not - though your use of the Roman numbering system for the Surah is a little strange and your translation is not that of Yusuf Ali, who wrote the accepted English translation and I will use it as my basis.

But I'll break it down for you, if you like.

Surah 4:89 is speaking of people who demand you reject your faith. You damn well better believe that if you come to my house and demand I reject my faith, you'll get the business end of my boot up your tush.

Surah 4:74-79 (you only mention 74 and 76) speaks of fighting only for the cause of Allah and not for the cause of men (you know ... cause of men ... the reason 99% of all Christian wars were started ... greed, power, lust, etc). This is a bad message .... how?

Surah 5:51 speaks of not taking friends from among Jews and Christians *as protectors* (a tidbit your translation leaves out for some reason). Allah is the only protector.

I'm not sure where you're getting your translation of Surah 8:39-42 ... but I can't find any copy or transaltion of Qur'an that even comes close to matching what you've typed.

The beginning of al Anfal (Surah 8), which you've taken only verse 12, is actually a message of hope for soldiers in the field. Do you not support your nation's troops with messages of hopeful victory? *shrug* Maybe not.

You mention Surah 9:5-6, but don't post the entirety of Surah 9:5-6. You post one tiny part of it.

Look, man, I've taken the time to go through what you've posted. What you have isn't necessarily mistranslation, but it is incomplete. I can do the same thing to a Bible, picking words here and there, and rewrite it to make it look like Jesus had sex with pigs ... but that doesn't make what I've done true. Many copies of Yusuf Ali's translation of Qur'an into English abound on the internet. Grab one of those, read it, and decide for yourself.

However, seeing your post count, it is obvious what you're trying to do and will continue to try to do. I, however, will always be there debunking every attempt by every one of your incarnations to spread hatred through misinformation. I will never tire in that cause.

As for the rest of your drivel, I am a Jew ... my mother is a Jew ... my mother's family are Jews. I don't hate myself or my mother or her family. Frankly, I'm not really sure where you're going with all of this.

Read the quote in my sig. Be well and joy joy feelings all around.
Isn't it true that there are many interpretations of the Koran? Isn't it also true that the more violent interpretations are gaining ground in the Islamic world?
