Politics: Dr. Tim Hulsey on "Misunderstanders of Islam"

Since 2/26/93, the US has been in a state of jihad according to Islamic extremists. They have repeatedly attacked or attempted to attack the property and citizens of our country both within our borders and abroad.

We acknowledged this with a “War on Terror,” which Obama has naively and unilaterally declared over. He misunderstands the situation to our peril.

People who see the reality of this are said by Obama to be “misunderstanders of Islam.” According to their definition, the jihadists must also be “misunderstanders of Islam.”

Yasir Qadhi, an imam in Memphis, TN, and “Dean of Academic Affairs at the Al-Maghrib… has an M.A. in the Islamic Creed and a B.A. in Islamic Sciences from Islamic University of Medina, as well as a master’s and a doctorate in Islamic Studies from Yale,” revealed that perhaps, by Obama’s definition, he is a “misunderstander”, as well.

In a sermon (available on video), he said that, “The life and property of a mushrik [one who worships others besides Allah] holds no value in the state of jihad….which means if they don’t say la illaha illa Allah [There is no god but Allah], their lives and property are halal,” i.e., worthless and available to all Muslims.

He says that “Jihad is a means to establish tawhid [belief only in Allah] on the land.” Interestingly, this sounds like the goal of the Islamic State (IS) to establish a caliphate (“a sovereign state of the Muslim faithful”) which encompasses the entire world (“the land”).

“I have been commanded to fight the people until they testify that la illaha illa Allah.”  Not to persuade or proselytize, but “to fight the people.”

That makes me wonder who is misunderstanding whom.
