AMALGAME, AMALGAME!

After the silent vigils, the demonstrations of solidarity with the victims, comes now another theme: whatever happens, says every talking head on television, every political figure, and all your Facebook friends, too, we must avoid blaming Muslims, putting them all together in one group, that is we must avoid  the impulse to assign collective guilt (as if the non-Muslims of the world have been so quick to “blame all Muslims”), and this grouping-impulse is known now, all over France, as AMALGAME. Avoid Amalgame, decry Amalgame, denounce Amalgame. So whenever there are attacks, they must be seen as isolated incidents, as having no connection to other attacks by other Muslims, the work of crazies, or attention-seekers who “have nothing to do with Islam,” and so on. This comedy has no end. It’s the product of confusion, of ignorance, and of fear.

Look, the reason the two brothers did what they did is because they have grown up being taught to hate Infidels and to worship Muhammad, Muhammad the Model of Conduct (“uswa hasana” — Qur’an 33.21) and the Perfect Man (“al-insan al-kamil”). And Muhammad did not allow others to mock him. He encouraged his followers, who volunteered to kill those who mocked him, and then reported back, to his evident great pleasure, when those mockers anhd scorners had been killed.

So that’s to be the theme, the takeaway, the end result, of the premeditated mass murder of those who mock or are held to mock Muhammad. Who, on television or radio, or in the Assemblee Nationale, has dared to note that what took place at the office of Charlie-Hebdo is consonant with, and is explained by, Islam, the texts and teachings of Islam. The two Muslim Arabs who did what they did in the middle of Paris did so because they were Muslims, had been taught in their own families and communities to hate Infidels, and to worship Muhammad and to assume that Muslim rules apply everywhere, or should, and if the Infidels won’t apply the Sharia, then it is up to individual Muslims to do so. For, in Islam, Muhammad is untouchable, Muhammad is the permanent Model of Conduct (“uswa hasana” — Qur’an 33.21) and the Perfect Man (“al-insan al-kamil”). And Muhammad did not allow others to mock him. He when his followers volunteered to kill those who mocked him, and then reported back when they had done so, Muhammad expressed not horror but great delight. He was delighted when his followers killed the female poet Asma bint Marwan, for mocking him, or the poet Abu Akaf for the same reason. But French people, in their first breathe deploring the killings (oh, for god’s sake, why bother — who needs to declare their “opposition” to mass murder?), in their second breathe, a moment later, tell everyone that the main thing to come out of this is “not to blame all Muslims” which turns out  to mean “don’t  study what’s in the Qur’an and Hadith, don’t really try to comprehend what motivates Muslims and formed the minds not only those who are moved to direct action, but those who pursue other means, less dangerous and attention-getting, to the same goal, which is to say the removal of all obstacles to the spread, and then the dominance, of Islam.

Amalgame, Amalgame!
