Thanks for posting this! This is so awful and sad. No one should have to live like that. This is the face of evil; this is the face of Islam! So many people are taken in by the so-called “piety” or modesty of Muslims. On this site we’ve been treated to pictures of Muslims bowing down in prayer. I read a news item of Muslims praying, and when a Muslim accidentally dropped the Quran, the others jumped on him like a pack of wild dogs. The violence is always under the surface. I’ve seen a picture of a beautiful Muslim woman with her hands folded in prayer who resembled a nun in her piety. Then I remembered seeing a video of an angelic looking Muslim child wearing her lovely embroidered scarf, spewing the most awful hatred of the Jews and calling for their deaths, as she’s being prompted by her elders. That’s the making of a little monster. As always the violence is always under the surface.
There’s a church here in Florida that’s stated that they’re going to burn copies of the Quran on Sept. 11. It may be a rotten thing to do, but they’ve already gotten threats of suicide bombings here in Florida if they do that. The difference is they’re not killing anyone or threatening anyone, just burning Qurans. Muslims, as always, respond with threats of violence and death. Ex-Muslim Syrian American Wafa Sultan has said:
“When I examined the Koran, the hadith, and the Islamic books under a microscope, I came to the absolute conviction that it is impossible – impossible! – for any human being to read the biography of Muhammad and believe in it, and yet emerge a psychologically and mentally healthy person.”
“The Muslim is an irrational creature ruled by instincts. Those teachings have deprived him of his mind, incited his emotions, and reduced him to the level of an inferior creature that cannot control himself or react to events rationally.”
I say she’s got it just right!

You bring out some good points. We have never really looked at what moslems pray. There are two types of prayers in islam and I will go over the one they pray 5 times a day, 365 days a year.
In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful.
[1.1] All praise is due to Allah, the Lord of the Worlds.
[1.2] The Beneficent, the Merciful.
[1.3] Master of the Day of Judgment.
[1.4] Thee do we serve and Thee do we beseech for help.
[1.5] Keep us on the right path.
[1.6] The path of those upon whom Thou hast bestowed favors. Not (the path) of those upon whom Thy wrath is brought down, nor of those who go astray.
All Muslims who pray as many as five times a day begin their prayer session repeating the six sentences listed above.
There are the only two lines of the opening prayer that non Muslims, specifically Jews and Christians need to understand:
[1.5] Keep us on the right path.
[1.6] The path of those upon whom Thou hast bestowed favors. Not (the path) of those upon whom Thy wrath is brought down, nor of those who go astray.
In order to really understand what every Muslim tells themselves when they repeat these phrases over and over again, throughout their entire life (over an estimated 90,000 times in 50 years) one should understand what is really being said. I have changed the words to reveal the true meaning of their prayer.
1.5] Keep us on the right path (the “right path”, also called the “straight path”, is the path of sharia. They are praying to follow sharia).
[1.6] The path of those upon whom Thou hast bestowed favors (only the Muslims receive favors from Allah).
Not (the path) of those upon whom Thy wrath is brought down (not the path of the Jews whom you have damned), nor of those who go astray (those Christians who have been convinced by Jews to not follow sharia).
To pull it all together, what every Muslim prays at the beginning of every prayer sessions is:
Keep us on the right path of sharia, the laws Allah commanded for Muslims, and don’t let us be like the Jews whom you have damned, or the Christians who have been corrupted by the Jews.
Read this within the context that Muslims are taught that Jews and Christians are born as Muslims and misguided by their parents. When a Jew or a Christian changes their religion to that of Islam, they are not called “converts”. Muslims call them “reverts”. They have reverted back to their original faith.
The claims that one is bigoted when discussing islam is always close to the surface. When one doesn’t like what is discussed it is easy accuse others with that lingo.
Maybe we have to put in a disclaimer that ‘there will always be moslems who do not know, are ignorant, and are peaceful’ in everything that we discuss. Unfortunately, with the Algerian woman, and Brigitte Gabriel and so many others even in France, Eastern Europe, Africa, etc they have seen the peaceful ones come in and as their numbers grow do absolutely NOTHING to help the victims of islam’s violent jihadists, or even care about them. We do see the moslems claiming they are the victims when it isn’t true, and outraged when the violent jihadists are attacked after months/years of attacks against others.
Name calling of ‘bigot’ and ‘islamophobe’ usually only reflects on the person who is doing the name calling. It is called projection.
