Could this be the real Arab Spring? This is huge! The Muslim world does not have to blame Pastor Terry Jones anymore for burning the Quran or non-Muslims for desecrating it. They are now in shock over seeing a YouTube post of an Egyptian young man doing the unthinkable on camera: tearing up the Quran and putting it in the trash.
This is a summary translation of what he said:
“There it is, Allah’s book, this is the basic catastrophe. I don’t know what day it is of this disgusting month of Ramadan! You are making the tearing of the Quran such a big and dangerous thing.. it is instinctive to tear this book, those sons of —– think they can threaten me and challenge me to tear the Quran, but I want to proof to them that they are nothing and what is the big deal in tearing this book!! There it is (he starts tearing the Quran) in the trash. Are you feeling better now! You cannot touch a hair in my head! We keep blaming Hamas and Gaza, but it is not them, it is this son of —– book that I am stepping on right now. That book is the source of all evil and the real catastrophe. There is nothing new here, it is not Omar Abdel Rahman, Abbud or all the others, it is this garbage that is causing us to run in a demonic never-ending circle that will never end.”
The young man’s words were very insulting, but, unfortunately, this is the same language that Muslims commentators of this video use against him and against anyone who leaves Islam. The comments on this video are extremely violent and scary, and more insulting than anything this young man may have said in the video. This is the kind of language many Muslims use against any critique of Islam. I am very worried about this young man, who seems to be living in Egypt. There are hundreds of fatwas of death issued against him already, and the responses to the video threaten him: “I will kill you” or “I will cut your tongue, your ears, your arms and legs, like Mohammed, and leave you for dead.”
Instead of giving religious visas to Islamists who come to build mosques in America and preach hate, the U.S. should immediately declare that anyone who leaves Islam and is threatened will get priority visa to the U.S., ahead of Islamists. American embassies across the Muslim world should stop giving religious visas, especially to those who are obviously Islamists, because by doing that, we are breeding our own home-grown terrorists inside America…..

Many muslims needs to be liberated. Many are indeed trapped.
All Muslims should speak out loud and proud like this guy, he should have all his Muslim neighbors stand tall with him and defend him, he should be one of millions of Egyptians to post this expression of freedom from this evil book….Remember, its the clerics that send out the thugs but those same clerics hide like little girls when confronted. Muslims, forget about Islam and become free of Old men telling you what to do, those old men who wear 6th century dresses and have beards and have sex with 8 year old girls because the thugs make it easy for them to have their way, let those old men do their own and see how far they get, for all those Muslim thugs, wake up and let those old men stand alone with a lights shinning on them so we can see them .
I wonder if I posted something on there in English, if I would get a fatwa against me. Very tempting.
Kind of wishing you would.
Hmm… Is that an expression of support for the idea or a statement of a death wish of sorts for me?
Death wish? No way.
Support!
