- I'd like to talk to you about Naming,
the technical terms that every trade and craft has,
no matter whether you're a truck driver, quantum physicist,
or basketball player,
you have special words, special terms.
And if we're going to study Islam,
we need to use special words and special terms,
but it is best if they're the right ones.
Islam is a totally separate civilization from ours,
and it has its own separate language,
and its own meaning.
And its word meanings are based on Islamic doctrine,
and I'd like to introduce you to this concept.
Let's face this.
Right thoughts are very difficult to have
without using the right words.
Now, let's give an example of using right words
and wrong words.
There was an attack on September 11, 2001,
the so-called 9/11 attack.
And there was a commission report,
the 9/11 commission report.
There were 714 mentions of Islam in the original report.
Today, no terrorism report ever mentions any words
that deal with Islam.
And this is not the way to do business.
They've created names such as terrorism,
violent extremism, modern Islam, radical Islam,
moderate Muslim, radical Muslim.
These terms are all subjective and have no basis
in the doctrine of Islam.
We need an objective naming system.
And there's only one way to do that,
and that is to base Islamic terms on Islamic doctrine.
And, by the way, if we do this,
everyone will get the same result.
Therefore, the method is objective.
Everybody knows that Islam consists of submitting to Allah,
and Allah is found in the Koran,
and the trouble with that is, is the five pillars,
which are the fundamentals of Islam,
are not found in the Koran.
They're hinted at, but not given in full measure.
But there are 91 verses that say Mohammed is the model
for every Muslim,
and, from that, we have the Sunnah of Mohammed,
his perfect life, his perfect actions, his perfect words.
We have his biography in the Sira,
we have his traditions in the Hadith.
We know a great deal about Mohammed.
Now, let's define Islam.
If I'm talking about proper terms,
let's define the terms we're using.
Islam is the doctrine found in Koran, Sira, Hadith.
Now get this straight.
Any idea that's in Koran, Sira, Hadith, is Islam.
Here's equally important,
if the idea is not in Koran, Sira, Hadith,
it is not Islam.
And I don't care who tells you it is.
I don't care if it's a special engineer at work,
or wherever else you meet another Muslim.
He does not have the ability to create Islam
out of his own judgment.
Only what Mohammed and Allah say count.
So, if an expert agrees with Allah and Mohammed,
the expert is right.
But if the expert disagrees with Allah and Mohammed,
the expert is wrong.
So, what do we need with the expert?
What we need are Allah and Mohammed,
and we'll use them in this talk.
We want to have fact-based reasoning.
The facts in Islam are Koran and Mohammed,
and so, therefore, everything we say and think
should have the basis in that.
Remember, we want to have the only two experts that count.
All questions can be answered in Koran, Sira, Hadith.
This is objective reasoning,
and we can achieve objective naming.
Here's bad names, or poor names.
Radical Islam, extreme Islam, moderate Islam.
But it does hint at a problem.
We have two different kinds of Islam here.
And there's a lot of arguments
over which one is the real Islam.
But why are there two different types?
Well, it has to do with, guess what, Koran, Sira, Hadith.
There are two Islams and two kinds of Muslims.
That is because we have two Korans and two Mohammed's.
Let's go over this briefly.
The early Koran, written in Mecca, is fairly tolerant,
and if it were all that we had,
we wouldn't be here having this talk.
Mecca.
You have your religion, and I have mine.
Sounds fine.
Then later in Medina,
we have "I shall cast terror into the hearts of the Kafirs.
"Strike off their heads,
"strike off the very tips of their fingers."
Hmm.
Not so nice.
And they're both in the Koran.
But it's not only the contradiction in the Koran,
there's a contradiction in Mohammed.
He taught the religion of Islam for 13 years in Mecca,
and converted 150 Arabs.
He was driven out of Mecca with the Medina,
where he became a politician and a Jihadist
and, when he died, every Arab was a Muslim.
So they have two different people.
Preacher, quiet, and politician, Jihadist.
Two different kinds of persons.
We see this reflected about the Jihad in the Koran.
In the Meccan Koran, there is no Jihad.
Whereas the Medinan Koran, 24 percent of it is about Jihad.
The Sira, 67 percent of it is about Jihad.
The Hadith, 21 percent.
31 percent of the total trilogy deals with Jihad.
Jihad is not a verse or two, it is the complete doctrine.
Then we come to the Jews.
In Meccan Koran, there is very little Jew hatred.
And, indeed, the Jews are praised as the best of people.
But in the Medinan Koran,
there's a great deal of Jew hatred.
In the Sira, there's a great deal of Jew hatred.
In the Hadith, there's a great deal of Jew hatred.
The complete trilogy, Koran, Sira, Hadith,
has more Jew hatred than Mein Kampf.
Think about that.
And, yet, it's not the whole story
because Mein Kampf does not praise the Jews,
whereas the Meccan Koran does praise them.
So we have a concept which I call dualism.
Two different Islams, two different Korans,
two different Mohammed's.
And so, therefore, you get into this extreme
and radical and moderate.
Now let's deal with something else.
I'm not interested in discussing religion.
What I'm interested in doing is discussing
the political side of Islam, which is the Kafir side,
the non-Muslim side.
Oddly enough, over half of the Koran, Sira, Hadith,
is written about the Kafir.
So, therefore, we need to have a language
for the Kafir about Islam.
The part of Islam that deals with salvation,
paradise and hell, is religious.
The part of Islam that deals with the Kafir is political.
What harm is that?
Because the Kafir's are not in the religion.
So, therefore, how could they be involved
with the religious concept?
Political Islam is Kafir Islam.
The Kafir is outside of the religion,
the majority of Islam is political,
we don't talk about salvation and after death,
let's talk politics.
Now let's go back to the moderate, extreme, and radical.
Let's get this straight.
Islam is peaceful and religious, it is Jihad and political.
Well, wait a minute, which is it?
Peaceful and religious or Jihad and political?
Both statements are correct.
Neither side is more less or more real.
They're used when you need them.
That's dualism.
Islam is Islam and it includes both Mecca and Medina.
So there is no moderate, extreme, or radical.
There is, simply, Islam.
Now you'll discover that in almost any view
that we want to take in Islam,
there will be two points of view.
Take your pick, they're both true.
When I deal with people who want to argue with me
about Islam and they bring up some good things,
I never debate with them on those.
I never deny them, I never resist them,
I say, "Ah, but let's have the rest of the story."
The measure of any Muslim is Islam.
So, therefore, when we talk
about a good Muslim or a nice Muslim,
we have to say, "Well what Islam does he follow?"
Well here's the deal.
The good Muslim follows the Sunnah Koran that is in Mecca.
So, therefore, a good Muslim, a nice Muslim,
is simply one that follows the Koran of Mecca
and does not practice the Koran of Medina.
Now Osama Bin Laden, as an example, was a good Muslim
because he practiced all of the Koran.
The moderate Muslim.
Islam creates Muslims, remember, Muslims don't cause Islam.
So, therefore, to get a moderate Muslim,
you need a moderate Islam.
But there is no moderate Islam.
There's only early Islam, latter Islam.
Meccan Islam, Medinan Islam.
There is only Islam.
What we call a moderate Muslim is simply a Muslim
who's practicing Mecca.
He practices the five pillars without the Jihad,
so he is not a complete Muslim.
But he is what we call moderate.
Actually, he's about half of the doctrine.
So the moderate Muslim is a nice person,
but what is called moderate Muslim
is just simply one who doesn't practice Medina.
A Jihadist or an extremist Muslim
is simply a Medinan Muslim.
Someone who practices the Koran of Medina
and acts like Mohammed did in Medina,
which was as a Jihadist and a war lord.
Now let's deal with another term.
We hear a lot these days about migration, migrants.
Well, that's not the proper word for it.
Islam has a term for migration, it is called Hijra.
It is so important that their calendar is based on Hijra.
And what is Hijra?
The time that Mohammed left Mecca and went to Medina.
Now think about that.
That's a little odd, isn't it,
because you would think that the beginning
of the Islamic calendar would begin
with the birth of Mohammed
or the birth, or the time
of the first revelation of the Koran.
But nope.
It's based on moving to Medina.
Why?
Because that marked the beginning of success.
So if you want to discuss Islam and people moving around,
coming into your country,
call it Hijra not migration.
Now then, here's a cranky word called Islamophobia.
What does Islamophobia mean?
Notice that no one every really defines the term.
They just say, "Oh, you're bad, you're an Islamophobe."
I've been called an Islamophobe more than once.
So I give a little thought as to what it means.
Islam is Sunnah and Koran.
So if we're phobic, we have to be phobic about the Sunnah,
phobic about the Koran, or with one or the other.
The Koran says to kill the Kafir and hate the Kafir.
The Kafir is a filthy person.
Well, hmm.
The Sunnah includes beheadings, assassination
of our innocent intellectuals, mass executions, deception,
and fighting in Allah's cause.
So let me ask you a question.
Is it psychotic, phobic
to be afraid of Jihad assassination executions?
I don't think so.
I think it's Islam fearful but not Islamophobia.
Why is fear of harm called bigotry?
Because that's what they mean when they call me names
like Islamophobe.
They say, basically, you're a bigot.
Well if I'm afraid of being assassinated, is that bigotry?
Let's use another word here.
Jihad.
Not terror or violent extremism.
Let's get this straight.
A Jihadi is not a terrorist.
A Jihadist is Jihadist, guess what.
Now the word is 14 hundred years old.
It's what's in the Sunnah, it's what's in the Koran.
So why do we want to avoid using it, it's not an insult?
Jihadists call themselves Jihadists.
Now let's cover this real quickly.
There are four kinds of Jihad.
Jihad of the sword,
which is the only one that gets written up in the papers,
there is Jihad of pen and speech,
Jihad of money and Jihad of inner struggle.
Now Muslims always like to say,
"Oh, our Jihad is a spiritual struggle.
"Like my Jihad is reaching across the isle to other people."
Well let's break this down.
21 percent of Bukhari Hadith are about Jihad.
98 percent of the Hadiths, that are about Jihad,
are about killing Kafirs.
Only two percent of the Jihad Hadiths
are about religious struggle.
So is Jihad inner struggle?
Yep, two percent.
But two percent on a test won't pass in my course.
Particularly when 98 percent of the Jihad Hadiths
are about killing Kafirs.
So Jihad is struggle, Jihad does not mean terror,
Jihad does not mean holy war.
Jihad is a systemic doctrine.
It is not offensive to use what's found in the text.
Jihad is a complete civilizational war.
Jihad is what made Islam successful.
It's global, it's eternal.
Jihad is the right word.
Hijra, migration is a form of Jihad.
There's been 548 battles that I've tabulated
that have been fought between Islam
and classical civilization.
Over 1400 years, that's 60 million Christians,
10 million Buddhists, 80 million Hindus,
and 120 million Africans,
for a total of 270 million
in what I call the tears of Jihad.
The Muslims who killed 270 million called it Jihad,
why don't we call it Jihad as well.
Now terror is a tactic, so we can use terror,
but don't confuse Jihad and terror.
Radicalization, have you heard that?
Well, what is radicalization?
Well, it turns out, when you listen to social scientists
and psychologists, they can't really explain it to you,
except the radical is dangerous.
Radicalization is simply following the Koran of Medina
and the Jihad Hadiths.
A radical is someone who is obeying all of Islamic doctrine.
Now we get to another weird concept which is,
you need to de-radicalize.
Well now how do you understand something not at all
and then attempt to change it?
How do you de-radicalize
without understanding what radical means?
How do you persuade a Muslim not to follow all of Islam?
Let's say you have a fighter from Islamic state.
He's been trained in the Koran of Medina
and you come along and say,
"Well, we don't want you to be dangerous,
"we want to de-radicalize you.
"We don't want you to follow the Koran of Medina."
And he will be like, "What?
"Are you crazy, that's the best part of the Koran."
Here's another word we use that's wrong.
Suicide bomber.
Suicide is a sin and you go to hell.
Martyrdom in Jihad is the highest form of Islam
and you go straight to heaven.
Got that?
Suicide goes to hell, martyrdom goes to heaven.
So use the right word, they're a martyr.
They are not a suicide bomber.
Now let's cover some of Islamic terms
that they use when they're talking to us,
and let's get the real meaning of them.
They have their own deceptive naming.
Here's one that is a terror event, a Jihad event,
and "We call for peace" says the Imam.
Now what does he mean by peace?
Well, everybody knows what he means by peace, right?
Wrong.
In Islam, peace comes only after the Sharia is in place.
So when the Imam says "we call for peace",
he means "we want Sharia".
Another one they say,
"We call for justice for all innocent people."
Are you aware that justice only come from the Sharia?
So, when he calls for justice, he's calling for Sharia.
And do you know who's innocent?
No Kafir is innocent.
Why is a Kafir not innocent?
Because
they deny the truth of the profithood of Mohammed.
Which is the primary sin in Islam.
So, therefore, if you're a Kafir, you're not innocent.
And, if you're a Kafir, you're not included
in the call for justice.
Ah.
Imam says, after the Jihad attack,
"We categorically condemn terrorism."
Now terrorism, as used by a Muslim,
means killing a Muslim without just cause.
Just cause is killing a Muslim if they leave Islam
or if they kill another Muslim
and it's a process of retaliation.
So, terrorism is not what you think it means
when used by Muslims.
Then another one I love.
Human rights.
Well, in Islam, human rights is defined by the Sharia.
Sharia human rights means no freedom of religion,
no freedom of speech,
no apostacy, no blasphemy, and no critical thought.
Why no critical thought?
Because critical thought can lead to ideas and conclusions
that are outside of the Koran, the Sira, and the Hadith,
and those are forbidden.
No truth is allowed in Islam
unless it does not contradict Koran, Sira, Hadith.
Then, I love this one,
Sharia human rights.
Islam was the first to give women their rights.
Yes, Islam gives women their rights.
The right to be married as a child,
the right to be inbred,
the wife to have your husband beat you,
the right to have your clitoris removed,
and the right to be part of a polygamous relation,
that is, to be part of a harem.
So those are what human rights are given to women
under Sharia.
Now here's an odd one.
In America, when we say slander, we mean something
about, we're saying they're telling a lie about us.
Under the Sharia, slander is saying something,
even if it's true, that offends a Muslim.
So slander has a peculiar meaning under the Sharia.
Conclusions.
It is impossible to understand Islam
without Koran, Sira, Hadith.
We'll have to use the doctrine if we want to be objective.
And ideas about Islam,
including names that are not based on the Koran or Mohammed,
are simply personal opinions.
We need to use rational thoughts to deal with Islam.
And it's very difficult to have the right thoughts
without using the right words.
We want to use not the politically correct words,
but the right words that come from the doctrine.
And we should encourage debate, not name calling.
The most important idea I've given you in this lecture,
is the fact that political Islam allows us to debate
and use fact-based reasoning and political ideas.
