Enraged Shabab Must Jihad Against Extremist Savagery

The important synonyms for savage are vicious-ferocious-uncivilized-crude-cruel-barbarious-inhuman-uncontrolled-uncultured-untamed-brutal. In March 1992, President Bush's six words spoken with great arrogance in the office doorway of Condoleeza Rice were extremist savagery personified. His exact words as quoted in Time magazine were: "Fu_k Saddam. We're taking him out."

Bush's words were filthy. They were wicked. Those six words have resulted in multitudinous murders. So his words have caused rivers of blood to flow which are well beyond the blood that flowed from history's first murder victim, the righteous Habel/Abel. This innocent man was murdered by his own bloodthirsty brother, Cabil/Cain. GOD told the guilty murderer "Your brother's blood cries out to me from the ground." Similarly, the blood of the innocent Iraqis continues to cry out to ALLAH from the blood soaked streets of Iraq.

The Psalmist, King Daoud/David cried out: "For He who avenges blood remembers; He does not forget the cry of the afflicted." Psalm 9:12

Only ALLAH knows how long the innocent Iraqi blood will continue to cry out against Bush, Cheney, Wolfowitz, Feith, Rumsfeld and Chalabi. Yet those original wicked words were vomited out of the filthy mouth of a usually smiling president who incredulously claims to be a Christian. ALLAH hates such extremist savagery. He strongly desires all Muslims and all humanity to not only expose the extremist savagery that occurred when an Egyptian Muslim mother told her eight year old daughter to put on her white party dress for a surprise celebration. Can you imagine the terrified screams of Dalia Ziada as her arms, feet and body were being forcefully held down? Then her 8-year-old legs were spread apart so that her naked private parts could be exposed. Then her genitalia were painfully mutilated to make certain that GOD's designed intercourse would always be painful to her rather than pleasurable. So women and possibly men, who pretended to be ALLAH carved away those important, private parts of this struggling, terrified girl's young body. Yet, ALLAH himself had designed those vital body parts so that a married woman could enjoy the sacred act of intercourse with her husband that sometimes would bring a sacred new life into the world. But this butchery of a girl to supposedly improve on what ALLAH had created by performing genital mutilation on an eight year old was a brutal, inhuman act of extremist savagery that enraged ALLAH. And this genital mutilation has no relationship to Islam.

Or consider the act of extremist savagery that was committed by four cruel masked Taliban in Pakistan. For the crime of refusing to marry a much older Taliban military commander this 17-year-old girl was sentenced to be viciously flogged. While the three men forcefully held her down, the voice of her torturer can be heard on the recording that her burqa be lifted so that she can fully experience the horrible pain of the whip.

What the four inflictors of unjust punishment did not realize was this. Observers had cell phones which recorded the brutal beating on film so that even the voice of the terrified teenage girl can be heard pleading for the mercy that she does not receive. So the film of her being beaten has gone out over the international airways. Even a photo of angry Pakistani women protesters appeared in the 4/4/09 Seattle Times. Their sign read: "Stop Showing Violence Against Women."

So these women's sign succinctly captures the tragic reality that the vast majority of unjust violence that sometimes occurs in Islam is often against those precious female members of society whom ALLAH has created. They are usually weaker than men but are often more spiritually sensitive. Unfortunately, this brutalized female Pakistani victim is one more vivid example of the extremist savagery against human beings that ALLAH wants us all to strive to blot out.

Israeli's Hatred of Jewish Women and Arabs

Savagery in Israel against women does not receive as much media coverage in the West as does media coverage of savagery against Muslim women.

Yet, there have been shocking news accounts of a large number of sexual assaults and rapes of young Jewish women in some religious communities of the ultra orthodox. But there was a much more subtle type of extremist savagery against Jewish women that was vividly photographically exposed in the 4/4/09 edition of the Seattle Times. Two recent parallel photographs of the prestigious Israeli Cabinet were shown that prominently revealed one woman in the middle of the first row and another in the middle of the second row. But in the doctored photograph, the faces of the two unwanted women, Limor Livnant and Sofa Landver, had expertly but shamefully been removed. This is another example of extremist savagery against women that ALLAH hates.

It is not conceivable that such despising of women in Judaism has influenced the inferior role reserved for women in some parts of Islam. Such acts as genital mutilation, honor killings and blaming and even murdering women for being rape victims is practiced but quite possibly has it's original roots in Judaism's devaluing of women.

Furthermore, with the new Prime Minister Benjamin Netonyahu, appointment of the man many call a Neo Facist, Avigdor Lieberman, to the major position of Foreign Minister in his government, there is a new danger for Israeli Arabs. Arab citizens in Israel may conceivably be expelled from the nation by this man's policies. So this expulsion is no longer as remote a possibility as it had been. If this were to occur, this would be one more vivid example of moral savagery by Israel.

ALLAH The Merciful

The Merciful Ar-Rahman is a favored title of ALLAH used 52 times in verses in the Quran. But it also appears 113 times in the Bismillah superscriptions. This is a total of 165 times that Mercy/Al-Rahman is used in the Quran as a name of ALLAH. So please tell me, is the fact that the U.S. government gives the prosperous Nation of Israel ten million dollars per day to help suppress the Palestinians and carry out such military operations as the Gaza massacre, an appropriate way for the U.S. to express the Merciful ALLAH's abundant Mercy toward Muslim Palestinians? Is not what the U.S. is doing another vivid example of state sponsored extremist savagery? Was it not extremist savagery when the Saudi Prayer Police caused a number of young schoolgirls to burn to death in a school fire because their heads were improperly covered when the Saudi prayer police prevented their escaping the smoke and flames that took their young lives?

Was it not another example of extremist savagery against women in Islam when an elderly woman in Saudi Arabia suffered the severe punishment of whipping? Her crime was to allow two young men, one of whom was a relative, to briefly enter her home after they had brought her fresh, warm bread from the bakery? Is it not cruel savagery when a young girl rape victim was put to death soon after her baby was born? She had been forcefully raped by three of her own brother's friends in her own Saudi home while her parents were away? But because the boys lied and said she had tempted them, they were not punished. But the innocent girl who was the victim, who had just delivered her baby, was put to death. Such injustice is most certainly state sponsored extremist savagery and barbarism?

Where Are The Protesters?

Where are the members of a new generation in Islam who are willing to risk their lives to publicly speak out against such Barbarism and Extremist Savagery? Older Muslim leaders have virtually brainwashed even the younger generation to think these vicious crimes and extremist savagery against women actually please the Merciful ALLAH.

Raping Young Women

Was it not brutal extremist savagery in Baghdad, Iraq when a wicked network of men and one woman conceived a hideous plan to recruit young women to become suicide bombers (Seattle PI-AP 1/09)? Men would viciously rape the totally innocent young women. Then the publicly disgraced young female victims were deceitful guided to an older Muslim woman for supposedly religious, therapeutic counseling to recover from being brutally raped. But the vulnerable women were cruelly deceived into believing that there was only one way to be accepted by ALLAH and to recover their dignity. They must train to be suicide bombers in order to murder innocent people. And this is what many of these manipulated rape victims did. Many of these deceived and raped young women blew both themselves and their unsuspecting victims into unrecognizable body parts in order to cleanse themselves from the stigma and guilt of having been brutally raped. So this immoral and degraded exploitation of Islam to cover up for murder was extremist savagery.

Help For Muslim Women Being Rejected

There was once a Hebrew man whom the Quran calls Isa. He was known far and wide for his good works for ALLAH and for people. The Scriptures, which the Quran confirms, describe at least three successive brutal beatings that this innocent man endured from three separate government military entities. Unjustly, it was the Israeli religious apparatus that decided that he must be punished and executed for serving GOD beyond the government's accepted ways of serving GOD.

So the first military unit to severely beat him were the soldiers of the Jewish Priest who himself was linked to that day's Jewish Knesset. (Their Knesset was then called the Sanhedrin.) After that brutal beating he was rushed off to the then King of Israel, Herod, where his soldiers also quite probably severely beat him. After that beating he was next sent to the Roman Governor Pilate where his hardened soldiers also callously administered another severe beating from the Romans that was called a scourging. Each of these beatings of ALLAH's own innocent Messiah man from West Bank Bethlehem was severe state sponsored extremist savagery. But this state sponsored assault on justice is seldom considered as relevant today even though it was ALLAH's own Messiah who was being brutalized. Therefore, there is one more type of extremist savagery that is today taking place against ALLAH's totally innocent victimized Messiah. Yet this one time victim is the still alive man who is more capable of liberating Muslim women than anyone else, if Islam will allow him to aid them. So the extremist savagry that is now occuring is Muslim leaders insisting that Muslim women continue to be victims of savagry by not by not allowing ALLAH's Risen Messiah to help them.

For background regarding this rejection of ALLAH's Messiah, you must understand that certain Muslim leaders have insisted upon a very simplistic interpretation of one verse in the Holy Quran. Regretfully, their wrong interpretation has been especially damaging to those Muslim women who are being victimized by a small percentage of overbearing Muslim men in different geographic regions of Islam.

The Strange But Certain Relationship

As far as I know, the linkage that I will now present has never before been publicly linked. But after 36 years of prayer and study regarding An-Nisa 4:157, 158 and also prayer about how significant numbers of often young Muslim women are being made to suffer at the hands of men who are anti-women, I have come to the following reluctant conclusion. Many Muslim women are innocent victims of anti-female systems or are victims of sick cultural traditions such as female genital mutilation. They are even trapped in distorted cultures where the murder of usually innocent women is excused and tolerated under the cover of honor killings. But the unrecognized, unacknowledged link with the torture and murder of ALLAH's Messiah is this. These women could be and would be substantially aided by ALLAH's now living man from Bethlehem if Muslim leaders would find the integrity to admit that Jewish leaders did indeed murder ALLAH's now Risen Messiah but that ALLAH raised him from the death three days after his brutal murder.

So after considerable prayer I have realized that Islam's all encompassing approach to barring ALLAH's Messiah from being a victorious deliverer for Islam instead of being a clever escapee, has had a dreadful impact and negative fall-out on especially any Muslim women who are being victimized by negative aspects of the sometimes-cruel Islamic system. For as long as Islam insists upon interpreting An-Nisa 4:157 in a way that demeans ALLAH's victorious Messiah rather than empowers him, the now Living Messiah is prevented from serving ALLAH for the purpose of making the Islamic religious system more sensitive to the needs of especially ALLAH's precious women.

Then I realized that one of the main negative cultural forces that benefits from denying that the Messiah fled from death rather than his having defeated death is the approximately 50% of the Muslim Community who are male. For as long as this 50% of Islam is allowed to deprive suppressed women from the power source of a Risen Messiah, these men can continue to exercise control. So in the present status quo, it is men who are in the power position to control and exercise domination over the female 50% of Islamic society. So these men's control of women is a powerful incentive for men to continue to lock ALLAH's Risen Messiah out of influencing Islam to move in a more just, merciful, and compassionate direction. Regretfully, they accomplish their control by continuing to interpret An-Nisa 4:157 in the most superficial way possible so as to deny Muslim women access to the aid and encouragement of ALLAH's now available Living Messiah – An-Nisa 4:158. For if he appears to Islam to be an impatient escapee, rather than a victor over death and systemic Israeli cruelty and injustice, he will not be looked to by Islam as a legitimate source of power.

But ALLAH's now living man from Bethlehem was not only well known for his GOD given ability to heal, give sight to the blind and to raise the dead, as is enthusiastically stated twice in the Hoy Quran, in Al-Imran 3:49 and in Al-Ma'idah 5:110. But he was also known far and wide for his compassionate attitude toward women, especially for those women who were suffering emotionally or who were being abused. So imagine the revolution of compassion toward women that will occur in Islam when ALLAH's Risen healer from Bethlehem becomes fully recognized among male and female Islamic leaders for being the source of power that he was and still is. And furthermore he is now alive in the midst of Islam. Therefore he is available for providing spiritual and even physical healing to Muslims including abused and unabused women.

Regretfully, it must be realized that there will be numerous, dominating Muslim men who will strongly resist the concept of ALLAH's Messiah now being alive. For this reality will greatly infringe upon their male dominance that they now so greatly enjoy. But ALLAH's great compassion and abundant Mercy will soon make certain that His ever present compassionate Healer of Hearts and Minds, will finally experience new freedom to serve ALLAH among ALLAH's greatly beloved Ummah of Islam.

Thus, at this time, ALLAH is definitely desiring progressive, courageous Muslims including Muslim Shabab to take the initiative in accelerating Islam's access to ALLAH's Risen man. This will especially be of benefit to Muslim women who will soon experience the encouragement that can only come from the only one who has defeated both death and the penalty for man's rebellion against ALLAH. For he has himself experienced the cruel Israeli whip.

So at the least, enraged Shabab must arise to jihad against extremist savagery. And if the Shabab are wise, they will look to ALLAH's now living man from Bethlehem to lead them in their spiritual Jihad against the evil extremist savagery that is now being tolerated rather than being exposed, resisted and defeated.

Two Required Just Adjustments

In conclusion, I will make two reluctant observations concerning Islam's apparent lack of progress in achieving the advanced status you would expect this great monotheistic religion to achieve, especially in its treatment of women. My own conclusion is that this lack of progress relates directly to two phenomena which hold it back.

The first regressive phenomenon is the partially inadvertent and partially deliberate attitude and actions by Muslim leaders to deprive the now Risen and Living Messiah the status and positive recognition that the Holy Quran itself consistently gives him as revealed in this essay. The second is the unfortunate harmful misinterpretation of one verse out of hundreds of verses in the Holy Quran. Their shallow and superficial understanding of An-Nisa 4:157 causes them to wrongly exonerate guilty Israeli leaders for their despicable, historical public crime of the manipulation of ALLAH's and the Holy Quran's only Messiah. These leaders false interpretation actually denies the majestic ALLAH the honor due Him for using His own Wisdom and Might to raise His own unjustly executed Messiah up alive from death. (An Nisa 4:158). In fact, their distorted conclusions about the meaning of 4:157 and 158 makes it appear that the glorious majesty of ALLAH was involved in a shameful CIA type identity switch.

Due to these two major errors regarding the Quran's Messiah, Islam is now in need of the Wise leadership of the emerging Muslim Shabab so that the Quran's Messiah may receive the appropriate recognition that the Holy Quran intends for him to have.

Islam's Exciting Renaissance

ALLAH is even now patiently waiting for willing Muslims to inspire a paradigm shift in Islam. Significantly, this new shift will be based entirely upon numerous precious but often neglected or de-emphasized verses about ALLAH's Messiah from the Quran that have always been in the pages of the Holy Quran.

There was a previous time period when Islam was weaker than it is today. Also, previously Christianity has been stronger than it now is, and thus more of a challenge to Islamic views about the Messiah. Therefore, it was once more reasonable that Islam would have put more emphasis on a few isolated verses in the Quran that are somewhat defensive in Nature regarding the authority of ALLAH's Messiah. Thus, this more defensive stance would insure more separation for Islam from certain Christian emphasis regarding the now Risen Messiah.

But conditions have now changed. So there is not now a similar need for such a preoccupation with these more defensive verses. Also, today there is no longer the need for Muslims to purposely neglect or to purposely de-emphasize the many wonderful verses in the Holy Quran which definitely do extol the unique vitality of the Holy Quran's now Living Man from West Bank Bethlehem. For now, though he usually remains invisible, the Quran's Messiah is today spiritually available to commune with each Muslim who will welcome him into his or her heart. (Please see the recent paper on this web site titled "Islam's New Bold Shabab" for many locations in the Holy Quran which proclaim the unique, dynamic qualities of the Quran's now Living Messiah.) So when this new paradigm shift takes place for Muslims and helps them replace their present preoccupation with mainly defensive verses about ALLAH's Messiah, to other of the Quran's powerful verses which in contrast, emphasize his wonderful ALLAH-given, unique qualities.

This exciting shift in emphasis will bring new joy, new light, and new vitality to all Muslims from their own Qurans. Thus a virtual new birth and exciting renaissance will dawn upon Islam. And this new dynamic will be a wonderful benefit for especially ALLAH's greatly beloved Muslim women. Wonderfully, their new joy will add to the joy of all Muslims everywhere. And this added joy for all Muslims will bring new joy to ALLAH. Regrettably, many of us often forget that the Merciful is deeply saddened when any distortion of Islam's teaching brings unnecessary suffering to any Muslim woman or to any person. But wonderfully, the courageous and inspired actions of many Shabab will soon change what had previously been a distorted dynamic.
