Response to Geet Wilders Speech 2008

Response to Fitna : the Dutch movie ref: Oct. 2008


To Geert Wilders and all alike


When Ayn Rand wrote ‘Atlas Shrugged’ I seem to remember that the Architect’s main moment was when he recognizes God in Nature. That is his epiphany to erect buildings. His moment that let him see the Light.

When
you talk about the Rainy Season in The Netherlands, and declare the 3 Government holidays at the end of the year, you seem to be forgetting the alms and thanks that the Little Boy Blue gave when he could finally take his thumb out of the dyke that kept Holland dry. Non?

Perhaps Clogs and Winter socks are not altogether out of Season yet.


October 2008 –FITNA- The Proverbial Dutch Foot.

What do you do with a Monkey or an Ape ?

For a Muslim it poses interesting questions.

Is the monkey being an ape or an idiot ?

As for pigs ?

Well. They’re said to carry tapeworms. Which is why they’re haram.


Otherwise they make exceptionally affectionate pets. It’s the love they feel. But then treat any animal with care and respect: he’ll respond.

Even Human beings. Even Musulman human beings.



Every book on Human Psychology talks about Conditioning. Conditioned Responses. Mass Education. The makings of a Revolution. Do not tell me that it is only in Economics and the Global Stock Market where trends are counted. And that what goes up must come down. Or that ramifications of any sort are inevitable. You push even a caged animal into a corner, and then stick red hot pokers into it. It will bite. Do not let that surprise you.

It is the natural outcome of how Nature made it. Ask Frued. Ask Darwin. Ask any Scientist from the Victorian era when rationality was based on something apart from Global Capitalism. Back then it was called ‘Principles’.

Back then, one didn’t abuse them. Nor compromise. For the sake of an abstract Right, which, by the way, even Socrates talked about, one would sacrifice one’s life. It’s called ‘Shahaadat’. I wonder where that is encrypted. Where the evidence of that is put down. Perhaps in a star. Maybe the vault overhead is where they are put down, little tinsels in the sky. Brightly haloed. The geometry of Constelation and Zodiac. They are there for Guidance when one is lost. For Beauty. For Light. So saith the Koran. Where is the Ursa Major ? And what direction is North?

As a Western secularist you tell me you don’t need a Prophet to show you the way for guidance nor anywise, and I will say that you are denying one of God’s favours.

I tell you that Muhammad is the last Prophet promised to mankind and you do not respect that. I will say that you have no fear. No shame. Of consequences. Of society and Environment and Concepts and Ideals.

You make fun of an Archangel who taught the verses and delivered them verbatim from God. From the word Iqra right down to the last ayaat. Please remember that it was the very same one who came to Mary with the news of the Immaculate Conception. You say that a ray of light shone through a Rock Crystal. We say He blew through her sleeve. We both know it was a Virgin birth. For you it was the Word made Flesh. For us it was the miracle of Kun FayaKuun. In Christus you find the one true example of the Resurection itself. Before Qiyamaat. Being brought to Life after tasting Death. Within this lifetime. And we talk about people who have no fear of the Resurrection. Or God’s ability to do so.

Do you not realize that the Bible and the Koran are enfolded in each other? After the Laws of Moses, the Bible is the promise that is made and the Koran is the promise that is kept.

True. Israel always belonged to the Bani Israel. All twelve tribes of Jacob. You tell me today that democracy belongs to Israel, I will say, Yes. But let’s at least see you do it. How is it today, that the three Semitic cultures, the Ummahs of Moses, Jessu and Muhammad cannot live in Peace? If, as you say, Democracy is something that is a Zion stronghold, then why is it that Muslims are being torn down from Gaza to Hezbollah, to the West Bank?

If with Abraam in the valley of Canaan came the promise of Prophethood from the offspring of Sarah and Hagar, the promise that found its fountainheads in Jerusalem, Bethlehem and Baka, and Jerusalem is the oldest of these, then why is it that it cannot be a religious lieu of ancient blessings instead of the war torn and terror stricken place that it has now become. Are Yahweh, Eli and Allaah not the same. Is this code, that began with Abraam not intended for all the Semitic race? Is it not from here that the legacy of Prophethood is descended?

And you tell me that my Prophet is revered far too much? More than yours?

There are twenty five Prophets mentioned by name in the Holy Koran. We make no distinction in any one of them. To us Adam, Noah, Abraam, Lot, Job, Jacob, Jeremiah, David, Saul, Solomon, Luqman, Moses, Aaron, Ezra, Issaiah, John, Jessu, son of Mary, Muhammad. And the Sabeans. And the Magians. All are Mu’minuun. We respect all of them. For their beliefs. For their Humanity. For their Humaneness and Compassion. For Tauhid. For Unity. For Brotherhood. For Peace. For submission to the will of Allaah.


It is not about territory. It is not about who ‘rules’. It’s about Human Values. About how we are to help each other.

Abraam did begin the Semite Legacy. Moses did lay down the Law. Jessu preached Love, Compassion and Forgiveness. And because the Musulman was last hier, it was his portion to fight in the name of Spirituality when there was none left. This is why we are given this privilege of Jihad. Because we can.

Do you wonder that we call your nudity vulgar? When you yourself have forgotten that it says in the Bible to cover yourselves for shame.

Do you wonder that we object to homosexuality and lesbianism? It is an abomination that destroyed Sodom and Gommorah. Lot’s nation has gone. Do you know that Lot’s wife looked back and was turned into a pillar of salt. Sodom and Gommorah lie at the Bottom of the Dead Sea. It is said that they will never be resurrected. They won’t even be given a chance. No Resurrection. No Judgement. No Punishment. No Reward. No Freedom. Eden. Paradise. Jannah. Heaven. All gone.

And when you say that you do not need religion to make any of the big decisions that affect the fate of Masses, not the stored up fount of knowledge, nor wisdom, nor insight, neither saint nor prophet to refer to for council, you wonder why we are trying to remind you. This is our heritage. This is our legacy. Ours by right to lead the way because Islam allows it.

You call it War. You call it Terrorism. It’s called Holy Jihad. It’s a commitment to God to keep the Good alive. You die today so that six thousand might live tomorrow.

Zoroaster, whom the Magis follow, preached to Think, Do and Act Good.

Jesus preached Love your Neighbour.

No doubt six million Jews died in Concentration camps during 1929 and 1947. There were eight Death Camps from Baden-Baden to Auschwitz. Most people are not aware that they were injected with Chemicals. Petroleum. And then asked. How do you feel? Most people do not know what a Gas Chamber is. Few know that when a human being is gassed to death, his entire body becomes a deathly shade of pink. Do they know that they were then turned into soap?

Six thousand Jews die so that something may survive. No more Torture. No more Terror. Humanity, perhaps? Peace, per se ? To live in harmony because Jerusalem contains the legacy that it should? It is ancient. Perhaps that is why it should be first to lead the way in Interfaith Harmony.
From Sinai to Araarat to Arafaat. All is Sacred. Why not treat it as so?


Does your Spirituality not bother you?

In years gone by, one talked about the Statesman. From Plato’s Republic to Roman Law to Henry VIII to Norman the Lion Hearted to Louis XIV to the Czars to Edward IV to Robespierre to Abraham Lincoln to the Berlin Wall to Alsace Lorraine to Money Made States. Like modern Hungary, Budapest. Milo’s brainchild is gone.

Modern day does not possess States. It has money run State Politics.

And then one starts worrying about Nationhood.

Pakistan is a Nation State.

Let’s not forget that.

You talk about the Europe of one hundred years ago. And how the Architecture has changed. And how the Indegenous people have disappeared. I do not remember that being thought about when you bought Staten Island for $15. Do you remember if he was Sioux or Navajo? His People. Were they American or Canadian?

You talk about Indegenous People, and yet all your Blue Collar jobs are the ken of their domain in your Countries.

Indegenous Peoples.

When you conquered America you killed off a thousand Bison in two days not caring about the Spiritual values of a Nature Seeking Peolpe. Please remember that the only reason you Western Rationalists didn’t kill off the White Male Gai of India is because the Himalayas kept you from getting there.

You talk of Indegenous Peoples.

Please let me what ask you what a Working Class Visa costs?

If you’re a Taxi driver or a Mason, it’s fairly cheap.

If you’re Studentin, perhaps less of a hassle.

If you’re ON A WORK PERMIT they’ll ask you a few questions.

MULTIPLE ENTRY is the hardest to come by.

Ask the Interpol or Scotland Yard how many of these were found.

Then there’s Blue.

Then there’s Red.

And then there’s HAJJ.

But only if You’re Called.

In Ibn l Arabi’s Spain in the 12th Century Hajj meant an absence of 12 years from your homeland.

In the 1950’s the Journey was often made by Sea.
And today you are bickering over Petrol Prices.

And the Seas are Rising.

Hajj Wasool to ho gia tera. Qabool bhi hua tujhe?

After Five Hajjes you’re called Al Hajj.

But only if God wants your true Presence there.

I wonder how much Poverty or Wealth that requires.

Let’s talk about the Labour Class.

But First. Let’s talk of the Colonies. And those that made them.

Dutch first? Pondicherry or Middle Africa or perhaps the South.

It took Nelson Mandela 27 years to come out of Bondage.

Over a spittle with the Boers.

And you ask me about the Dutch Labour Crisis.
There is an NGO in Africa somewhere that makes Fertilizer for food and makes it out of Human Faeces. All they provide is a pisspot and a bucket. It seems the Boer/Nazi Mentality is still alive. And you wonder at their look of Silent Anger. At their Mute Despair.

And Wonder at the Wrath of God.

I wonder. Indeed.

For the French it only took the Guillotine and a Heartless remark about Cake that got them on their feet.

L’Egalitee. Fraternite. La Liberte. Vive La France.

Socio-Egalitarian indeed.

From the Renaissance to the Resistance to Sartre.

Ask them about Human Values. They’ll tell you abit.

The Germans were turned away from Colonising any Country after the Treaty of Versailles. Good Measure, perhaps?

Great Britain. They have such Principle that their own hier to the Throne walked away for Love. Wally Simpson and Camilla Parker. And Tony Blair resigned. I do not call that Power Hungry. Notice how it is the only Country that has not changed its Currency.

And then you have Science. Which is an English Language.

And you wonder what Judas Escariot did with his thirty pieces of Silver?!!!

The Holocaust used to be a German sensitivity. It was called a National Guilt. And that it would take Two Generations to overcome the hurdles of this Guilt. It has been 1945 since Nagasaki and Hiroshima. But I don’t see any pangs of guilt from the US at Pearl Harbour. Or any whichwise.

But Nature is weeping.

And the Environment is in trouble.

And then it says… “ for those that can see, those that can hear and men of Knowledge and Wisdom and Understanding … all are Mu’minuun.�


Democracy and the Vote

“ Muslims now swing a vote not to be ignored�. (Geert Wilders)

The problem with Politicians who require ‘voting majority’ is that they have a foot in each camp. With the establishment of Yugoslavia’s President Ivan Milosovich, who by the way, bought his election because he was a Billionaire, came the end of all Ideology as far as Statesmanship was concerned. The difference between a Caliph and a President is that A Khalifa e Rushedeen is always and always will be a Statesman (the way Plato describes in his ‘Republic’) and a Politician is only the Financial Representative of the State. There are no States without Statesmen. And when the need for Statesmen is over then there is no Idoelogy nor need for Ideals nor Dreams. No Doubt it is Satellite Vision that gives us things to look at. But Books that give us things to think about and Count. And count upon.



PART II : ISLAM 101 ?

You say that Islam is not ‘Open to Discussion or Interpretation.’

Yet, the Book itself says that it is a Book for those with Understanding, Knowledge, Wisdom, Contemplation.

As was with the Summa Theologica and the Bible, it takes a knowledge of over 25 subjects to be able to Interpret Islam let alone know how to understand the Esoteric Meaning of the Verses. And believe me, Bruder, when you begin to understand the verses, just a little, you will be enchanted. But those are the ‘Honoured Ones’ so forgive me.

“He calls only whom He wills�.

When it comes to Jihad, there are four kinds.

Jihad e Kebira : The Greater Jihad. The one against one’s own naffs and the self. One’s own weaknesses.

Jihad e Seghira : The Lesser Jihad. What you call Terrorism. Bombs Grenades and all.

Jihad by the Sword : Literally: An eye for an Eye. Tooth for tooth. Measure for Equal measure.

Jihad of Commitment in one’s own Sacred Marriage. Even that has lost its Sanctity for you Westerners and when we try to tell you any different, you blister us. And How. Divorce Rights is it? Let me remind you that what Rights the Woman was never accorded Islam has bestowed upon Women knowing perhaps her Political and Social value in Times to Come.

And then there’s Jihad bazarche Qalam : Jihad by the nobility of the tip of the Pen. To write Noble thoughts to declare the Faith.

Hatred. Violence. Submission. Murder. Terrorism.

Not only do you disbelieve in the Koran – but also it seems, in the Bible, which you transalated in 1650 under the Kings James Version. But also the Old Testament which brought the Ten Commandments.

Off all the five that you listed above under ISLAM 101 – the only thing that is required is Submission – with a capital S.

We have no duty to kill muslims/non-muslims. We only have a duty to recommend Goodness for the sake of Goodness. Hidayaat.

Take back the concept of Goodness to Socrates and ask yourself why they sentenced him?

Tauhid. No Doubt.

Does it really take a leap of Imagination to believe that?

Monkeys and Pigs is it?

Facial Cosmetic Surgery and eating Swill.

Ring a Bell Somewhere !?!


Mustaffah.

His name is spelt Muhammad – with a zabr between m and d. Not a zer.

Warlord?

No. Allowed to conquer by War. It’s called Jihad.

Murderer?

Heaven has already barred you from it.

Even Saint Peter will deny you.

Pedophile?

One needs Innocence to understand Honesty.

You don’t have babes in your arms.

We call it nikah or motherhood.

Polygamy?

An entire verse was revealed for this.

“ Do not deny the favours I have conferred upon you�.

Perhaps it was meant for that Time when Men would be scarce because of War and Women needed Lawful Husbands to be able to live under their roof within Jurisdiction of what Allaah allows. Male: Female: 48%:52%

Prisoners of War?

“ It does not behove you to keep prisoners�.

Those who can teach will have eight mouthfuls.

Those who can’t will have four.

Ever try sustaining yourself on four, Mr. Wilders?

Hidayaat is for the Mu’minuun.

National Socialism is not a Totalitarion Ideology. It is a Leftist View.

Hidayat : Keep away from foul information/disinformation and bad knowledge. Ameen.
