MURDER AND MAYHEM

MURDER AND MAYHEM

Murder is an important element in Islam. Murder of the
kafirs is of course sacrosanct and approved by the Koran.
Murder of the priests of the Kafirs' faith is even more
honorable.

In recent times Moslem fanatics have murdered or
attempted to murder many religious men of other faiths.
Among the Hindus, the famous monks Swami Shraddhananda,
Swami Dayananda, Ram Bholey of Mathura, Swami Prakas-
hanandaii of Bangladesh have all been assassinated by Moslem
fanatics.

The attempted murder of the Pope is well known. The
assailant was a Turk.

Moslems also murder those among themselves who in
their opinion are not Islamic enough. Thus we have another
set of murders. Mujibur Rahman, Ziaur Rahman, both of
Bangladesh, Abdus Samad Khan of India, Liaqet All Khan of
Pakistan, Anwar Sadat of Egypt, King Abdullah of Jordan, the
Liberal P.L.O. leader Sartawi, fall in this category.

The murder of the Sikh Gurus by the Moslem kings of
India is also well-known.

When a Moslem murders a kafir, in the eye of Islam no
crime has been committed. When, in 1910 A.D., Boutros Pasha
was murdered by an Egyptian Moslem for no personal provo-
cation but for the political reason that he had presided over
the court that sentenced the Denshawai villagers, and the guilt
of the murderer was conclusively proved by evidence, the
chief Kazi of Egypt pronounced the judgment that according
to Islam it is no crime for a Moslem to slay an unbeliever.
Thus we see a criminal like Idi Amin of Uganda getting a safe
haven in Saudi Arabia.

There is another kind of murder practiced by the
followers of Islam. Aurangzib killed his brothers, imprisoned
his father, poisoned his own son and nephew, all for the throne
really, but Allah's help was beseeched in every case. When an
Iraqi kills an Iranian, he is fighting for Islam, for in his eyes
the Iranian is an infidel.

Chopping off of limbs, skinning someone alive, gouging
the eyes out or pulling out the tongue are very much practiced
in Islamic countries. If the incidence of meting out Such
punishment is a little reduced today, that is entirely due to the
public opinion in non-Moslem countries. Any criticism of Such
barbaric acts is often taken as undue interference by kafirs in
the internal affairs of an Islamic state.

The assassination of Robert Kennedy, the Jewish ath-
letes in Munich, etc are common knowledge. Terrorism and
Islam seem to go so well together.
