ISLAM: THE ONLY SOLUTION By Dr Alan Clifford |
Our hearts are heavy with grief with the suffering in
Beslan. Even allowing for serious defects in the heavy-handed policy of
the Russian Government, no one can deny the Islamic dimension in this most
appalling and diabolical atrocity. It is increasingly clear that
nowhere is safe from the growing Islamic threat. Here in the
The distinction between 'moderate' and 'militant' Islam
misses the point that THE RELIGION ITSELF IS THE SOURCE OF THE PROBLEM.
Indeed, no other religion on earth can claim to match the violent nature of the
Islamic agenda. Seemingly-benign Muslim communities will always be
breeding grounds for their more militant members to recruit jihardists
from. To make matters worse, the general public are fed lies on an almost
daily basis. For instance, we hear the regular intonation that 'Islam'
means 'peace'. It means nothing of the kind! It means 'submission
to Allah' not 'peace'. The Arabic word for 'peace' is '
So, what is to be done? First we must be clear what is not to be
done. Racist attacks must not be encouraged.
BNP-inspired thuggery and anxiety-driven violence must not be tolerated.
Non-violent Muslims need protecting as much as anyone else. While Muslim
terrorists must be pursued with military rigour, peaceable Muslims must never
be persecuted. However, Muslims need rescuing from Islam! That
said, unless our immigration policy takes account of the constant potential
for jihadic violence provided by the Qur'an and the even more horrific Hadith
(traditions of Islam), there is no way of guaranteeing civil order indefinitely.
Therefore, if Enoch Powell's dreadful 'rivers of blood' prophecy is
to be averted in the
First, on the political level. Compulsory
citizenship ceremonies must require Muslims to publicly and explicitly repudiate
the jihadic teachings of their religion in perpetuity. If they sincerely
meet this requirement, then they may enjoy the liberties and privileges of
our liberal democracy. If they refuse
to do so, citizenship should be refused and the applicants deported to countries
prepared to tolerate the intolerable. Muslims cannot be permitted to
abuse our democratic heritage if it is their intention eventually to impose
fascist-style Islamic culture in the
Second, on the religious education level.
The RE component of the National Curriculum must 'put the record
straight'. Teachers must stop pretending that Jesus and Muhammad
are on a par and that the Holy Bible and the Holy Qur'an teach
similarly-positive values. Without denying that too often Christians have
failed to demonstrate the compassionate virtues of its
Founder, the true character of Muhammad's programme and its devastating demands
must not be hidden from our children. Yes, the Christian Gospel forbids
and condemns hatred and violence. The same cannot be said of the message
of Muhammad. The children of
Third, to reverse the collapse of Christian
conviction in our country, nothing less than a reformation of the churches is
necessary. The major problem is the preponderance of apostate
clergy. These liberal lying prophets of multi-faith ecumenism have robbed
us of the faith foundations of our national heritage. Trendy, effeminate
bishops, priests and professors are the curse of contemporary
Christianity. They are praised for expressing doubts about Christ's
virgin birth and resurrection and applauded for extolling the spurious virtues
of Muhammad. And they get paid for their impiety! While the horrors
of Beslan prompted the Archbishop of Canterbury to confess to a 'flicker of
doubt' in the goodness of God, he fails to express doubts about the vicious
features of the Islamic faith. Looking to the
In conclusion, I
am well aware that this statement will be greeted with howls of derision and
outbursts of anger from those whose cherished philosophies I have deliberately
challenged. They enjoy the freedom to dissent from what I’ve said.
I am no more inclined to oppress them than I am to persecute Muslims.
However, if they insist on scorning my solution, Islam would never allow them
the luxury of dissent if ever its diabolical objectives were realised.
Such is my own faith that I believe the Satan-inspired Islamic dream is a
delusion, to be ultimately destroyed when Jesus the Son of God returns in power
to judge the world. In the meantime, the delusion might do much
damage. Things could get much worse before they improve. However,
those whose agendas do not exclude the murder of innocent children may be
assured that they are on the holy hit-list of our Lord Jesus Christ! He will
not discriminate between these butchers and those who welcome the religion
which inspires them. May Almighty God graciously enable us to heed this
wake-up call before it is too late!
