Convenient, condensed basic introduction to Islam - Complements of El Zorro

_____________________________________________________
 
 
There are several precepts for the basis of Islam.  They are:
 
·       The Trilogy - The Koran, the biography of Mohammad (Sira), and the traditions of Mohammad (Hadith): 
The Koran is devoted primarily to the religious side of Islam.  The Sira is the life of Mohammad.  The Hadith (all the hadiths – small "h") are the traditions of Mohamad.  The Sira and the Hadith are the Sunna.  The political Islam is predominant in the Sunna at about 67% which is to convert the entire world population to Islam.  Muslims are bound to imitate the Sunna e.g. the life and traditions of Mohammad.  Mohammad is Islam!
 
 
·       Dualism - Everything is either right or wrong and both are correct.
 
Islam was an invention of Mohammad.  It is divided into two parts.  The first part is religious Islam where Mohammad received his first revelation from the angel Gabriel in Mecca in 610 AD.  When he started preaching in Mecca he was weak and could not gain a large following, about 150 followers in 13 years until 623 AD when he was cast out of Mecca by primarily the Jews but also the other religions there which did not agree with is religious views.  That was the first and religious part of Islam.
In 623 AD Mohammad took his few followers to Medina where he became a political leader and a warrior.  For the rest of his life Islam grew to billions as there are today through politics and war.  Mohammad took revenge on the Jews and Christians whom he named "People of the Book" and the rest of the non-Muslims for his treatment while in Mecca.  This was and is the totality of Islam, and the second part, which is an aggressive total life system for Muslims consisting of religion and politics.
 
Both of the above are the basis for the duality of Islam.
 
            (a) Religious Islam defines the peaceful Muslim

            (b)
Political Islam defines the fundamental (fanatic) Muslim.
 
    Likewise, there are only two types of people in Islam, Muslims and Kafirs.  Again duality.
 
    There is no right or wrong in Islam.  Contradictions in Islam in any of the Trilogy are called abrogations.  That means that what is written is true even though one Sura (a chapter in the Qur'an) appears to contradict a preceding one.  In Islamic law, the Shar'ia, a newer law may abrogate an older one.  In any event, the newer text takes precedence over an older one; however, the older one may be used if it advances the cause of Islam.  As far is Islam is concerned, Allah and his Messenger cannot be wrong.  Duality.
 
     There is weak Islam and strong Islam.  In weak Islam a Muslim may defer to a Kafir socially, even though it be a lie, if it advances Islam and they cannot prevail otherwise in whatever effort they may engage.  In strong Islam, the Muslims are allowed to subdue the Kafir in the most expeditious manner available including torture and murder of the Kafir if he/she cannot be converted to Islam.  Duality.
 
     The goal of Islam is to cause the complete submission of the Kafir until every person on the earth is a true Muslim.
 
 
·       Allah is the only god - Polytheism, paganism, atheism, and agnosticism (in other words any religion other than Islam) are unacceptable.
 
     In Mecca Mohammad tolerated other religions and, in fact took much of his beliefs and structure of Islam came from the other religions, primarily the Torah and the Old Testament.  Some of his theology even came from paganism.  The evidence is that the name "Allah" came from a pagan idol, the moon. As he took his followers to Medina and gained strength and the ability to subdue his enemies he changed from his recognition of other religions.  He made Allah the only God and everyone else became the Kafirs, those who are all people other than true Muslims.
 
 
·       All people are slaves - Muslims are slaves to Allah, all others are slaves to Muslims.
 
    This is one of the basic precepts of Islam.  The word "slave" came from Mohammad's conquest of Slavic tribes, a derivative of the word Slav.  Islam teaches that Muslims are slaves and all others (Kafirs) are slaves to Muslims.  The belief is that Allah demands that Muslims convert or kill Kafirs with some inventions of Mohammad.  There is the "Dhimmi" who is a Kafir who does not convert to Islam but abides by a treaty which is an agreement between Muslims and Kafirs whereby the Kafirs agree to give up rights as free people so they may live (See Treaty of Umar).  The Dhimmi becomes a protected class of non-Muslim… a Kafir under the protection of Islam.  Slavery was not invented by Americans and the Western World.  It was and is a major enterprise of Islam.  The slaves were sold to Americans and western traders by Muslims in Africa and other European states.  Slavery is illegal in America but not in Islam today.
 
     It is the responsibility of every Muslim to fight jihad (jihad was invented by Mohammad) in whatever way possible to convert or enslave the Kafir.  The strongest will fight by war.  The old, women and children will support the warriors by providing shelter, food, money, etc.  Islam invades Kafir lands and confiscates everything of value. It kills or enslaves the strongest enemy and enslaves the rest if the Kafirs do not submit (Islam means submission).
 
 
A very disturbing thing about Islam and jihad is a section of the Healthcare law relating to Dhimmitude on page 107 that exempts Muslims from complying with the mandate to purchase insurance.  (See Muslims Exempted)
 
Islam is here in America.  This short summary highlights some of the basics of Islam.  There is nothing in this theology that is good for America.

Be My Baby - The Ronettes - 1963 - Stereo - Music Video




     Show the grandchildren that things were intense but so much more civilised back in the day.   These were common working-class Puerto Riquenas and the like in 1963, just before everything fell to hell.

El Zorro forwards this clip to the attention of the OROG community - mandatory information!

Ann Corcoran on Refugee Resettlement


 
El Zorro sent this in for our consideration.  As we were learning a new posting manoeuver to enhance our presentations, it dawned upon me that for almost 60 years we have never demanded one thing from the other.   The only two people who could call me down beyond my wife and daughter were my brother Milton and El Zorro.   I would always yield.   El Zorro would sometimes lose sight of how much value he had and how positively the people around him viewed his presence.  I would serve, very infrequently, to reassure him of his position as one of the "upper-crust".
     Perhaps, at times, neither of us took himself seriously enough.  We are still not quite at the end of the race.  But, looking around, we have distanced our peers considerably, and we have lived adventure and accomplishment.   We have served well and honourably....El Zorro more-so than I.    We have the luxury to now bark from the very near side-lines and make strong, coherent observations that are now circulating in many corners, and on many planes.
 
     Our assumption that the secular humanists, progressives, and marxists would have no compunction about cold-bloodedly sacrificing an entire race of Americans into re-slavery has been shown to be true.   The acolytes of Margaret Sanger and Karl Marx would and did do all necessary that would be required to push America into extinction.
 
     Please remember the Texas Nationalist Movement.  Please also remember the cause of the Vth Amendment Convention.  Since we began jousting the issues presented by those Windmills, both issues have advanced to the point that there are now 30 sovereign States of the American Union that have voted for a Convention under the terms of the 5th Amendment.   (For a few moments, El Zorro thought that the Vth Amendment Convention was hopeless.  Perhaps my optimism was mistaken for silliness or delusion).
       Over 60% per cent of the citizens of the Republic of Texas have declared to carefully done polling that they support an Independent Republic of Texas.   El Gringo Viejo is Longstreet and El Zorro is Jackson, but this time there will be no retreat to Richmond and Appomattox.   This time it will be us who truly free the slaves of the Oppression by the Progressives.
     And yes, we both know that there are many Longstreets and Jacksons.   We are Legion.
 
We commend these words of the lady above to the OROGs' attention.  Remember, also, that there are no ISIS training camps west of Ciudad Juarez.  There are, however, overwhelming evidences that ISIS operatives are self-inserting as Mexican or Central American type people....and I would estimate that five or ten per month might be being inserted.   Many have come from that insertion camp from west of Ciudad Juarez, Chihuahua,  trained long ago in Syria or Iraq.  An equal or greater number might well be, and probably are, coming in from Canada.

Potpourrie of Commentary....some even worthwhile

____________________________________________________
 
 
Climate and Demagoguery:
     The immediate flood of commentary concerning "Super-Storm Sandy" wreaking devastation upon New York City and places in nearby New Jersey was revealing.  The Climate-Change Industry parasites predictably reminded all concerned that the storm was living proof that the polar caps were almost finished and that not only were further storms and floods in the offing but also Atacama-like droughts that would destroy all known forms of life in the Universe in a matter of hours if not minutes.
     Of course, every little boy's cry of "Wolf! Wolf!" and each hen's shrieking "...the sky is falling!  The sky is falling!" has seen the predicted time of occurrence arrive and expire with no significant weather/climate deviations from known norms having transpired.   AlGore and his acolytes are even quick to point out that the lack of fulfilment of these predictions is even further proof of their accuracy.
     It is the problem caused by people who make a religion out of their insanity.   It is a form of the same disease that afflicts a large swath of a certain group that understands that Jews, homosexuals, Christians, adulteresses, and misbehaving Moslems must be beheaded.
 
     During these moments, most of the Republic of Texas is being super-saturated with nearly record rainfall.    Those areas in the Central part of the Republic, and into the areas to the East of San Antonio...the historically Czech, Bohemian, German, and Polish dominated stretches....are picking up rains of 2 to 10 inches per day, every few days.   Every part of the Domain seems to be greening and flushing out with rarely seen rainfall totals, save perhaps for the Permian, near Midland and Odessa in far West Texas.

  There were those people who told us that the droughts suffered by most of the Republic three to five years ago was proof that the End had arrived, and Global Warming, brought on by Bush failing to implement the Kobe Agreement was our punishment.  
    Those same persons are now quick to comment that the heavy rains are beyond Noahanic, and proof that their predictions were, and always have been, correct.   If one listens to the overnight radio crowd, it is astonishing how inarticulate, ignorant, cocksure, and arrogantly wrong the continuing die-hard gaggle of climate nuts remain.  One hopes that the ones who identify as high school and/or collegiate-level professors spouting this stuff either seek counselling and therapy or at least do the honourable thing and resign in disgrace for intentionally misleading the unwashed ignorant among us.
 
     While these rains are a bit much, they are appreciated.   The lakes around the area in Mexico where we hang around are all full to over-filled.  The same is the case in most if not quite all of the Republic of Texas.   Below are a few notes about weather and climate in Texas.

Most damaging hurricane3.0 Billion Hurricane Alicia - Category 3 hurricaneAug. 18, 1983
     


    We concur with almost all these figures, although locales generally have taller tales and dates buried further back into the annals of history.  Of note to this writer is the fact that the deadliest hurricane is listed as a category 4, although there is no asterisk to denote that there was no method to measure accurately a wind-speed that would, in these days, qualify as a Category 5.  Also, as "most damaging storm", had the same storm struck Galveston - Houston area in these days, conservative estimates of damage would be one trillion dollars or more......easily.
     It should be noted that in those days, in 1900, Galveston was the fourth largest city in Texas and it was essentially....to the extent of 98%....destroyed and destroyed totally.  Steam locomotive switch-engines working the yards around the Galveston Harbour complex were found six miles away, on the Texas mainland.   The casualty levels are low because many of the workers and people who were there at the time working in the harbour area especially, were foreigners from Mexico, Italy, England, Ireland, China, and the Philippines.  Most were never found or recovered.

Gen. Abdel Fattah el-Sisi
President of Egypt 

     Finally, the Obama administration says that the Border is secure and al Qaeda is on the run and we are going to do better in Egypt with Morsi and the Muslim Brotherhood democratically elected than having an old fool like Mubarak in charge because he is corrupt.   And besides that it is people like Netanyahu, Egyptian President Gen. el-Sisi who keep causing problems by siding with Jews, Christians, sane Moslems, and by making decisions based upon well-founded, rational reason.
     Can you all imagine.  Who do they think they are?  The King of Morocco, the King of Saudi Arabia, the King of Jordan, the President of Egypt, the emirs of the United Emirates, and King Bibi of the Hebrews suddenly form into a functioning alliance and do just battle against the Forces of Darkness.  They have done it somewhat effectively.   The response from the White House?   "Why are you people picking on the poor Hootsies and ISIS Freedom Fighters?"
     They do it facing every danger.   First is the danger of being sold down the river by an American Administration that is headed by a person who is the half-brother of a Muslim Brotherhood chaplain...who served as the future American President's best man at the wedding perform by ...you guessed it...Jeremiah Wright.  The next is that Obama and his ilk have historically and into during these times always hated the Hebrews and loved the Palestinians.
     It is not surprising that Obama and his minions would prefer to negotiate "sweetheart treaties" with the Persians who want to annihilate the Hebes and Gringos....like as in "totally", in lieu of defending and co-ordinating with people who seem to understand, at the very least, how to sign and keep an agreement.   The people who want to kill us all are the President's favourites and the people who have at least a level of understanding of reality and at least grudging affection for the Gringos....the President hates.

     More later.  We are still trying to get on top of the various issues and topics that can rust out a bit after three weeks on the edge of civilisation.  Our stay this time was marked by a lot of little detail work and the continued rethinking about direction, themes, and utilisations of our little hideaway.   We shall divulge some inner thinking in the coming days.

A Very Moving Tribute to Sincerity and Eloquence....and beauty....and goodness

________________________________________________________

You all really do not want to forget this obra magna on the part of the Perpetual Queen of the Universe Forever. We just cannot pass  pass this one up!  A fellow OROG who is a real, live medical doctor-type person sent this in as a convenient reminder to our little community.  Pass it on to all in your posse and keep it fresh in the minds of our loyalists and zapper battalions! Even to our liberal "friends" so that they can contemplate what it means to live with the left side of the brain completely composed of rotted, gangrenous sludge.

From the Doctor OROG:     Quote of the day, no, of the week, make that a month, yet it probably is quote of the year!  No, DECADE.  Wait a minute.  It's the greatest quote EVER!  To wit:     “My accomplishments as Secretary of State? Well, I'm glad you asked! My proudest accomplishment in which I take the most pride, mostly because of the opposition it faced early on, you know… the remnants of prior situations and mindsets that were too narrowly focused in a manner whereby they may have overlooked the bigger picture and we didn’t do that and I’m proud of that. Very proud.  I would say that’s a major accomplishment.”

We are back in town

_____________________________________  
 
     We have arrived back in town.   It  was a bit of a wet drive of it back up to-day.  At 06:35, the beginnings of quite a storm set in, and we received over 1 inch of rain in the first 10 minutes.   We drove off into the semi-darkness and the rain at 07:00 and drove, and drove into the un-relenting, moderate to heavy rain, stunning lightning displays, and all nature of strangely odd, totally deferential traffick manners being displayed by 99% of the driving class.
 
     Mexican courtesy on the highway takes a while to pick up on, but it normally abounds.   To-day, however, seemed like a cloistered period or silent-time retreat at an old-style Opus Dei or conservative Episcopal-Anglican cursillo meditation and rededication seminar.
     It was just as well, because about three-fourths of the trip being done, we came upon the phenomena of the highway being violated by three fairly close-together crossings by high-water runoff.  It was something that we had been through before, especially in Vera Cruz State of Mexico and in Central Texas at various times.
     The first crossing was a little touchy, while the second was fairly easy to wade through in the little Ford Ranger XLT.   But the third was impossible.  Water was two to nearly three feet deep running across the highway for what appears to have been at least one mile.  A few large trucks could manage to make slow progress through, but even that appeared to be precarious.
     The locals who came out from the farms and little community congregations informed those of us who were parked on the side of the road about previous episodes that carried off dogs, cats, chickens, goats, and even a few Volkswagen Jettas and Nissan Tsurus-type vehicles.  The older among them seemed to think that it would be three to four hours of waiting, it there was no further rain to the west, before the flow would subside to the point where general traffic could proceed.  Busses carrying luggage and forwarding packages in their bellies had stopped crossing and high-rise military and police pickup-type vehicles were pushing or towing stalled vehicles to drier confines.
     Locals, who actually appeared to be somewhat prosperous, were generous in loaning telephoning devices and providing their home facilities for charging cellular phones for those with low batteries and the like.   My own contribution was to provide jumper cables and help connect-up said cables to autos that had been hauled, pushed, or otherwise delivered to our nearby "command post".   The "drown-outs" can (and all did) respond to extra voltage supply when trying to do the "wet-dog shake-off" and get going again.
     When it became apparent that my progress would depend upon changing routes, first by retracing the 30 kilometres back to the Matamoros - Cd. Victoria highway, and then by going to Valle Hermosa and then to the Los Indios International Bridge that connects the Republic of Texas to Mexico in a rural area just south of Harlingen, Texas.   My generosity and good nature were rewarded by the fact the I was the only entrant arriving at that bridge and there was no delay of any kind.   After a perfunctory computer analysis of my passport and a couple of questions, the lady-officer sent me on my way, backtracking a bit towards the McAllen-Mission area to the west.
 
     Rainfall total ranged, for the area around deepest South Texas and the zone pertaining to the Quinta Tesoro de la Sierra Madre etc. from another six inches for already wet yet to as much as twelve inches during the preceding 24 - 36 hour period.    All along the core of the Republic of Texas for these days....including my in-laws, children, grandchildren, and El Zorro up in North Texas adjacent to the Red River, nearly....there has been repeated heavy rains, hail, a bit of tornadic activity with casualties, and all the flooding one would normally associate with such events.   We shall be checking on ours and hoping that all of yours are safe and sound.
 
More later to-morrow when this old bag of old bones rests up a bit.
