Nonie Darwish: Wholly Different — Why I Chose Biblical Values Over Islamic Values

38

[the_ad id=”87125″]

Many in the West assume that the Islamic threat is only in the form of terrorism, and if only ISIS is destroyed, then the real peaceful Islam will emerge ready to coexist in harmony with Western and Biblical values. That is false. The West is building its entire policy regarding Islam on a false premise. And that is why I have written my fourth book, Wholly Different: Why I Chose Biblical Values Over Islamic Values: to lay out the full scope of the threat of Islam to Western civilization.

After I moved to the US 38 years ago, I discovered that Islamic values are totally opposite to Biblical/Western values. The first Muslim sermon I heard when I visited a mosque in the US in 1979 was on how we, Muslims, must never assimilate in America. I felt that this dangerous advice was paving the way to divide America into the “house of Islam” and the non-Muslim “house of war.” I stopped going to the mosque and lived without a faith for 17 years in America.

Story continues below advertisement

But after I started hearing Biblical values in churches and synagogues, I discovered why Islam is afraid of assimilation. If Muslims assimilate in the West, Islam will cease to exist, and that is because its values are opposite in everything about life, human rights, family, and government.

The Original Culture Clash

The original culture clash, or clash of civilization, between Muslims and Bible believers did not start between Europe and the Islamic Middle East. It first erupted inside the Middle East, in the 7th century, when Muhammad led a ferocious bloody rebellion in the Arabian Peninsula against “the people of the book” — Jews and Christians, their values and what they stood for. In a nutshell, Islam came 600 years after Christ, not to confirm the Bible, but to discredit it. Islam was a bloody rebellion against the Bible and its values. All of the Ten Commandments were in fact violated by Muhammad for the sake of making Islam rule supreme.

The Jews and Christians of the Middle East lost the first culture clash, and were forced to submit to Islam and live in humiliation under sharia as dhimmis. Christianity and many Jews were pushed further back Northwest towards Europe. Gradually Europe were left alone holding the banner of the Bible after the Christian Byzantine Empire was decimated by Islam. That was when a second culture clash started between Islam and the Bible, Europe and the Middle East.

These are facts of history that Teddy Roosevelt warned us of when he said that if we do not fight we will lose to Islam, the same way the People of the Book in the Middle East lost to Islam in the seventh century: “Christianity is not the creed of Asia and Africa at this moment solely because the seventh century Christians of Asia and Africa had trained themselves not to fight, whereas the Moslems were trained to fight. Christianity was saved in Europe solely because the peoples of Europe fought. If the peoples of Europe in the seventh and eighth centuries, and on up to and including the seventeenth century, had not possessed a military equal with, and gradually a growing superiority over the Mohammedans who invaded Europe, Europe would at this moment be Mohammedan and the Christian religion would be exterminated….”

Western Biblical theologians believe that the Bible, both the Old and New Testaments, brought an ethics revolution to the world. Islam came to rebel against such a revolution with a counter-revolution that was uniquely Muhammadan.

Everything that Jews and Christian held dear to their heart, Islam sets out to destroy. Below are some of the differences between Biblical and Islamic values mentioned in the book:

  • We are all sinners vs. They are all sinners.
  • Life is sacred vs. Death is worship.
  • Jesus died for us vs. We must die for Allah.
  • Jesus came to save us vs. We must save Muhammad’s  reputation.
  • Judge the sin, not the sinner vs. Judge the sinner not the sin.
  • God the redeemer vs. Allah the Humiliator.
  • Confession of Sin vs. Concealment of Sin.
  • At war with the Devil vs. At war with flesh and blood, the enemies of Allah.
  • Truth will set you Free vs. Lying and slander are an obligation.
  • Changing oneself vs Changing others.
  • Self-Control vs. Controlling others.
  • Vengeance is the Lord’s vs. Vengeance is prescribed to Muslims.
  • Love your enemies vs. Hate Allah’s Enemies (non-Muslims).
  • Work Ethics vs. Wealth through conquest.
  • Kingdom of God is not of this world vs. Allah and the Islamic State are one.

If immigrants have no intention of assimilating they should not be permitted to immigrate and settle in a country, and we know why very few have any intention of assimilating, so the whole thing of permitting Muslims to enter Western countries is absurd. The West is committing suicide with it’s absurd notions of ‘tolerance’ – toward people who are totally intolerant, who never invent a thing, yet still think they are a kind of master race – with nothing to show for it except behaving like ranting, raving, brain-dead morons. Their ‘thing’ is all about anger and hatred.

“Jesus died for us vs. We must die for Allah.”
I would formulate: Jesus has been crucified vs. Islamists must crucify non-Islamists.
“We are all sinners vs. They are all sinners.”
What makes a sinner a sinner? What is true?
The “we are all sinners”-mantra seems to be used for “& therefore let’s pay the” unjust “Jizya”-extortion-tax.
Ethics is human rights & ecology, truth & proof versus belief & lies.
Theism for example is unproven.
What is good about Islam taken out of it’s many facets of injustice & besides that I condemn Islam, is the dedicated self-motivation & inward radicalization.
Look at the world: tyranny & censorship worldwide.
We need dedication & radicalization
for justice, human rights, ecology, for truth, love, for proof in the justice-system, education-system & media worldwide versus belief & myths.
If Islam would be ethical & based on justice, assimilation to an inferior system would be desirable. But Islam is unjust & unethical.
Free the Biafra-leader & the Leavenworth 10 & the African slaves from Mauritania to Saudi Arabia & all unjustly incarcerated & oppressed people.

It’s interesting to note how muslims are taught never to question anything in the quran. Maybe if more muslims started questioning and researching, they will discover how false and destructive the quran is and maybe finally they will find peace.

Islam by definition cannot reform or change, any bending of the rules to adapt to modern society is “blasphemy”, punishable by death.

Actually, one – and only one – Saying of Muhammad that was recorded in Hadith, Bukhari, states that a Muslim can stop reciting the Qur’an if he/she has any disagreement with it. This could give Muslims time to search elsewhere for Truth, however, it is doubtful that any imams have ever mentioned this in their mosque. Here is the saying:

“The Prophet said, “Recite (and study) the Qur’an as long as you agree about its interpretation, but if you have any difference of opinion (as regards to its interpretation and meaning) then you should stop
reciting it (for the time being).” (Sahih Bukhari, Volume 6, Book 61, Number 580: Narrated Abdullah)

…also repeated in following verse:

“The Prophet said, “Recite (and study) the Quran as long as you agree about its interpretation, but when you have any difference of opinion (as regards its interpretation and meaning) then you should stop
reciting it (for the time being)'” (Sahih Bukhari, Volume 6, Book 61, Number 581, Narrated Jundub)

If a muslim stops, that is seen as apostasy, which is punishable by death.

So then, Muhammad did not really mean it when, in Bukhari Vol. 6, Book 61, No.581 he acknowledged that a Muslim who has a difference of opinion can stop reading the Qur’an (for the time being)? Imams who believe the authority of Muhammad’s comment as mentioned in Bukhari, should allow a Muslim the “time out” from reciting the Qur’an. If a Muslim seeks and finds truth elsewhere and chooses to leave Islam and accepts the consequences, then, yes, that is apostasy – which Sharia calls for the punishment by death. Muslims who convert away from Islam usually go into hiding and leave their family behind to escape being killed for apostasy. If any imam does not allow the “break” from recitation, as allowed by Muhammad, then that means the authority of Bukhari would be flawed.

The entire qur’an is flawed, that does not stop the marginally intelligent of the community from selecting the verses that they choose to enforce. As every phrase in the qur’an is abrogated to fit circumstance.

That is why apostasy is punishable by death. islam, even if slightly challenged or questioned, falls apart, as it is nothing but circular arguments based on lies supporting other lies.

Very good! What Americans can’t seem to get past is a knowledge of successful immigration for the past 200+ years in America. It’s now an assumption that Muslims are just like any other immigration group and its business as usual. Europe is led by de facto pacifists who assume that peace is the norm. The Muslims are trained to “destroy the infidel” (all non-Muslims). For them war, strife, and confrontation is the norm. I lived in Germany for 13 years and can tell you that the normal German mindset is purely liberal. They have a cradle to grave social system; “nobody fails or goes hungry”. They have been able to achieve this by hard work and national discipline that generates enough income to support this. The Muslims, on the other hand, are mostly willing to work but are handicapped by their lack of skillsets that are useful in Germany. Adding to this problem is the fact that the average IQ of Muslims is 84 while the average IQ of Germans is 99 (USA is 98). What this means is that Muslims are not teachable in many areas of industry. A lower IQ means that individual aptitudes for many kinds of work are inadequate. So the result of this is that more and more Muslims will load down the welfare rolls and will remain a burden on the German economy. Here in the United States we have been experiencing the same problem for a long time. We complain about the disparity between white and black people.The fundamental cause of this is the same as with Muslims; The average IQ of black Americans is 85, which is much higher that the average native African, which is only 70. In America, an IQ of 70 is considered slightly above borderline retarded. This is why when the European colonialists of Africa were forced to give up sovereignty of the many African nations, most of these nations degenerated in large part because the natives couldn’t generate enough specialists, and effective leadership, to keep the more technical aspects of their countries running properly. The really sad thing about this is that the Africans want their countries to successfully function like they did during colonial times. I believe that most of the world wants to see them succeed also. Africans are facing two great dangers to their sovereignty. The first is the Muslim encroachment from the north. It is the Muslim intention to convert all of Africa to Islam, just like their intentions in Europe, and the rest of the world. The second is the Chinese encroachment into Africa. We are at the beginning of a global cooling period, a min-ice age if you will, and the growing zones of the Earth are going to move south. The Chinese are acting on that belief and are establishing business relationships with African countries that will insure that Africa will export food to China during the coming hard times. This will improve the financial situation for these African countries but I can’t help but believe that these countries will have to give up a certain amount of their sovereignty. Nobody can believe that China won’t resort to military action to defend their food sources now or in the future. How sad that,under Obama, the United States has totally ignored this situation. Back to the Muslims: The only way forward for our country is to extremely limit the number of Muslims entering our country. The only way we can coexist with them is to keep their numbers small. The “no-go-zones” in Detroit and a few other cities are proof of this. Regardless of any claim that I personally have a bias against Muslims and blacks, the factual data supports what I have written here. Every fact stated here is available on the internet. My conclusions are based upon these facts!

dont agree about the IQ tests .it’s fraught with generalizations and inequalities in standardization . how were these tests administered to africans ? in what language and when? there are multiple sub races in africa .you do know there are chinese muslims, about 10 million of them and you think their IQ is 84 ? there are white ,korean, and russian muslims, there are also ex muslims who become atheists and christians. do their IQ’s automatically change once they change religion. IQ test, another colonial study done to justify racism + xenophobia
i however agree with your analysis of islam being a destructive force against western societies and all other non islamic countries. there should be limited immigration for muslims.

I doesn’t matter what I believe or not. Look it up yourself: https://iq-research.info/en/page/average-iq-by-country Do a comparison between Haiti and Hong Kong, or any other countries. I am personally not offended that orientals have a higher IQ than all white races. Look up Afghanistan, Iran, Jordan, Morocco, Pakistan, Saudi Arabia, and the United Arab Emirates. Every single country listed has an IQ of 84. Is that me being biased against Muslims? I think not! If I tell you that this is a result of 1500 years of Muslims marrying their first cousins, and even closer relations, does that make me a racist Islamophobic creep? I’m just quoting to you facts, logic, history, and truth. I understand that these things are hated by liberals, who have united themselves with the Muslim cause, but that doesn’t change reality on this world. Please reply with data that shows me to be wrong!

An average of white or black (or Muslim) IQs means that all three groups can have many individuals with an IQ of 150 or above. Many IQ tests are non-verbal so language is not a factor. Back in colonial times I doubt very much if they even had such a thing as an IQ test.
