refreshing candor from British Muslims

"The only solution and divine method to liberate Muslim land is jihad. Jihad, in sharia, means fighting, not boycotting Coca-Cola or Fanta, and definitely not voting for man-made laws – as suggested by many hypocrites," the Saved Sect declared.

"May Allah curse them and destroy them all, and may they face the same fate as Banu Qurayzah!"
-- British Muslims quoted in this article
Such sincerity is welcome. It is always a good thing for Infidels to be reminded -- for they need constant reminding -- of what prompts the acts, what explains the behavior and attitudes, of so many Muslims in so many different places, over such a long period of time. Whenever this or that Muslim group forgets that "war is deception" (Muhammad, uswa hasana, al-insan al-kamil) and expresses itself forthrightly, as in the article above, this is a good thing. It is the "smyler with the knyf under the cloke" (Chaucer's allegorical Treachery) who worries, the smiling snake Tariq Ramadan, the man who busies himself with Interfaith Dialogues and candelight vigils after 9/11, though far from prying Infidel eyes he displays quite a different face, preaches quite a different attitude from that pious business about the supposed kinship of the "three abrahamic faiths." We've all had our fill of that, haven't we?
It is good to be reminded of what the war against those Infidels -- whether those Infidels are the Israelis, or Buddhist villagers in southern Thailand, or the Kashmiri Pandits, or the Christians of the southern Sudan or southern Nigeria, daring to oppose the Jihad, or any others, Christians, Jews, Hindus, Buddhists, Sikhs, any and all others, who might not be inclined to find that Islam is The Answer, the Total Explanation of the Universe, the Guide to Complete Regulation of Daily Life.
