§ It is not the president who is
spreading the idea that "Islam is an inherently hostile ideology,"
that "Muslims are enemies of Christians and Jews" and that
"Muslims have always had a comprehensive, actionable, and jihadist plan to
take over" -- but rather the Quran itself.
§ In other words:
§ Islam does not recognize
Judaism or Christianity as religions.
§ Muslims are enemies of, and
must fight, Jews and Christians.
§ Muslims will never be satisfied
until all people submit to the beliefs of Islam and the laws of sharia.
US President Donald Trump repeatedly rebukes the media for "dishonest" coverage
and "fake news."
Despite its fury over the accusations,
however, the press continues to prove him right -- albeit inadvertently.
Take a recent New York Times piece
as an example. In their article, titled "Trump Pushes Dark View of Islam to Center of U.S. Policy-Making"
(Feb. 1), authors Scott Shane, Matthew Rosenberg, and Eric Lipton cite a
questionable source -- Prof. Asma Afsaruddin of the Department of Near Eastern
Languages and Cultures at Indiana University -- to prove their point that the
president is promoting a "master narrative that pits the Muslim world
against the West." This, they claim, appeals to Trump supporters,
"who know nothing of Muslims or Islam beyond news reports of terrorist
attacks."
Although Americans may be more
familiar with Islamist attacks in Europe, North America, North Africa, the
Middle East and the Indian subcontinent than with the perpetrators or the
religion, it is the Quran's content, the Prophet Muhammad's sayings and conduct
and current fatwas that, regardless of Trump's rhetoric,
have driven a wedge between the Muslim world and the West.
