A challenge to campus Muslim groups

By Michelle Malkin • February 20, 2008 11:01 AM

Will you join David Horowitz and the Terrorism Awareness Project and sign a petition against genocide?

The David Horowitz Freedom Center announced that it will distribute a Declaration Against Genocide and ask individuals and groups, particularly those on American college campuses, to sign it. The Declaration notes that the Sudanese and other Africans have been victims of a slow motion genocide, and that Islamo fascists in the Middle East are preparing a new genocide against the Jews and can be found here.

In describing the objectives of this new initiative, David Horowitz, President of the Freedom Center, said: “We are asking all campus groups to repudiate the genocidal passage in the Islamic Hadith which reads: “The prophet, prayer and peace be upon him, said: ‘The time [of judgment] will not come until Muslims will fight the Jews and kill them; until the Jews hide behind rocks and trees, which will cry: O Muslim! There is a Jew hiding behind me, come on and kill him!’”

Horowitz continued: “We are also asking all campus groups, including the Muslim Students Association, to condemn the Hamas Charter which says: `Israel will exist and will continue to exist until Islam will obliterate it, just as it obliterated others before it.’ Signers of the Declaration will also be asked to repudiate the Iranian dictator Mahmoud Ahmadinejad who has said `The accomplishment of a world without America and Israel is both possible and feasible.’ And Hezbollah’s leader Hassan Nasrallah, who called the Jews `a cancer which is liable to spread again at any moment,’ and has said, “If the Jews `all gather in Israel, it will save us the trouble of going after them worldwide.’ These are hateful doctrines that threaten the lives not only of Jews, but of all Americans.”

In addition to condemning the genocidal agenda of these leaders and organizations, the Declaration calls on campus groups to affirm “the freedom of the individual conscience and the right to change religions or have no religion at all; the equal dignity of men and women; and the right of all people to live free from violence, intimidation and coercion.”

“Although a Declaration Against Genocide should be seen as a document with universal appeal,” Horowitz notes, “a coalition of groups with ties to the Islamo-fascist jihad are bound to protest this effort. Our goal is to test universities’ claims that they support religious and ethnic tolerance, and to challenge the campus left, which consistently overlooks statements by Islamic radicals which are nothing less than an invitation to mass murder.”

Here’s the petition text:

Declaration Against Genocide

Whereas genocide – the murder, or plan to murder, an entire people – is a crime against all humanity;

Whereas genocide is a crime that has metastasized in the modern era, leading to the murders of millions of Armenians, Cambodians, Tutsis, Sudanese, Bosnian Muslims and others;

Whereas the largest and most devastating genocide on record is the Holocaust of European Jews;

Whereas a new genocide of the Jews is being called for by Islamic leaders in the Middle East;

Whereas global forces are being mobilized by the Iranian regime to eliminate the Jewish state;

Whereas the genocide of the Jews is called for in texts understood by some Muslims as authoritative and echoes through sermons in some mosques today, and is proclaimed by certain leaders of the Islamic religion;

Whereas Catholicism and other Christian denominations have condemned the Holocaust and repudiated anti-Jewish pronouncements that have stained their religious past;

We call on all Student Governments and campus Muslim groups to:

1. Condemn and repudiate the Hadith which reads: “The prophet, prayer and peace be upon him, said: The time [of judgment] will not come until Muslims will fight the Jews and kill them; until the Jews hide behind rocks and trees, which will cry: O Muslim! There is a Jew hiding behind me, come on and kill him!” Sahih Muslim book 41, no. 6985
2. Condemn and repudiate the Hamas Charter which says: “Israel will exist and will continue to exist until Islam will obliterate it, just as it obliterated others before it”
3. Condemn Ahmadinejad who has said “The accomplishment of a world without America and Israel is both possible and feasible.”
4. Condemn Hezbollah and its leader Hassan Nasrallah who has said:

“The Jews are a cancer which is liable to spread again at any moment.”

“There is no solution to the conflict except with the disappearance of Israel.”

“If they all gather in Israel, it will save us the trouble of going after them worldwide.”

5. Affirm:
* The right of all people to live in freedom and dignity
* The freedom of the individual conscience: to change religions or have no religion at all
* The equal dignity of women and men
* The right of all people to live free from violence, intimidation, and coercion

We call upon all campus political, cultural, ethnic and religious groups to stand with us in opposing all forms of religious supremacism, violence and intimidation.

#98: “On that Great Day called the Judgement Day everyone outside of having a relationship with Jesus Christ will be condemned. Those who do not have their name in the book of life will be condemned because of the sin in their life and a life long of rejecting Christ. The Lord is long suffering and patient waiting that all be saved and not suffer this eternal judgement. Check out Revelation 21 8 where it says But for the cowardly and unbelieving and abominable and murderers and immoral persons and sorcrers and idolators and all liars, their part will be in the lake that burns with fire and brimstone which is hte second death. Would the Lord be accused of hate here?”

Certainly not. The Lord should never be accused of hate. The hater here is garyt. The comments above sound like they’d make a great foreword to The Protocols of the Elders of Zion, or Mein Kampf, or the Qur’an. Maybe garyt can hang out with Usama bin Laden in the afterlife.

Surak I didn’t write the bible and I do not hate. There are numerous passages in the New Testament that Jesus quoted that those who do not repent are eternally lost. His hope is that all shall seek salvation. Its not His fault that most will reject it. Remember I didn’t write it.

Stop the presses! Breaking news! garyt didn’t write the Christian scriptures, or the Qur’an, or the Protocols of the Elders of Zion, or Mein Kampf. Who cares? All that matters to me is that the Nazis believed they were acting consistently with the spirit of the Christian scriptures. The passage that garyt cites above is enough to convince me that the Nazis’ belief of their consistency with Christian scriptures was well-founded. We don’t have 6 million more people to spare on his hateful theological principles.

As I said before, why doesn’t he check out the beam in his own eye first?

Telling the Truth about Christ is not exactly hate speech. As you know it says in 2nd Timothy ch 3 verse 16 that all scripture is inspired by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, for training in righteousness. Remember that Jesus Himself said in John 14 v 6 that He is the only Way to heaven. Now are you calling Jesus a liar? Acts 4 12 says There is no other salvation but Christ. By the way What verses did the Nazis use in Salvation? Christ also said that you would be hated as they first hated Him. Again I don’t hate anyone and I am just telling folks how they can receive eternal life through Christ. Remember the other faiths have not made the same payment of sin that Jesus did for us. A prophet can’t forgive sin but Jesus did and this proves Deity.

“all scripture is inspired by God” – including the Qur’an?

“Now are you calling Jesus a liar?” Yes.

“A prophet can’t forgive sin but Jesus did and this proves Deity” – or fraud, or insanity.

“Remember the other faiths have not made the same payment of sin that Jesus did for us” – except that Deuteronomy 24:16 makes it crystal clear that G-d holds every person responsible solely for his own sin.

You have the choice in calling Jesus a liar, He will never force His Salvation for you and you are free to reject it. In fact Most will reject Him till its too late. Yes everyone is responsible for their own sin but the New Testament overrides the Deuteronomy verse. Simply confess your sins to Jesus and live for Him. As the Koran goes its a false book and nothing in there is the truth. The devil will imitate the work of Christ and invent a religion that sounds respectable and will draw most of the earth’s inhabitants into a false system. Why would Jesus go through the crucifixtion and ressurection if He wasn’t God? He also sends the Holy Spirit to confict people of sin too. Remember Jesus said all other ways are false and He is the Only way to reach Heaven.

“the New Testament overrides the Deuteronomy verse” – nothing overrides the Deuteronomy verse. Indeed, another verse in Deuteronomy says that the Sinai Covenant is eternal, and that if anyone should come along later claiming to be a prophet – even if he should perform miracles! – as soon as he claims to abrogate even one letter of the Sinai Covenant, we will know that he is a false prophet.

“Why would Jesus go through the crucifixtion and ressurection if He wasn’t God?” – why would 200,000 others Jews besides Jesus be crucified by the Romans?

“Remember Jesus said all other ways are false and He is the Only way to reach Heaven” – yeah, and Muhamad said the same thing too. Same with Jim Jones, by the way. Luckily, Hinduism and Judaism both are more tolerant religions. I don’t care what religion anyone else follows, because my motto is Jesus’s teaching “You shall know the tree by its fruit.”

“confess your sins to Jesus and live for Him” – I’ll stick with G-d, thank you very much.
