At the beginning of Sweeney Todd, the chorus of his murdered victims sings, "He served a dark and a vengeful god." In Egypt, an Islamic Sweeney butchered his wife after an argument, cut her up and sold her mutilated body as lamb chops.
Around the same time as Mohammed Sweeney was selling pieces of his wife to customers stocking up on meat before Ramadan, Egyptian voters made their own offering to the dark and vengeful god by voting for Mohammed Morsi, the candidate of the Muslim Brotherhood, whose offshoots such as Hamas and Al-Qaeda have a murder toll that beggars anything the real or fictional Sweeney could have aspired to.
Morsi's election platform was ending the last light of freedom in Egypt by implementing full Islamic law and in a country where 84 percent believe that heretics should be killed, 82 percent believe that adulterers should be stoned and 77 percent believe that thieves should have their hands cut off, the candidate of Allah, the dark and vengeful god of Islam, was bound to win any democratic election.
As a god, Allah does not appear to be much of a lifegiver. Egypt has six times the infant mortality rate of the "Zionist Entity", five times that of the "Great Satan" and ten times that of the Japanese infidels. Indeed the country with the world's highest infant mortality rate is the devout home of the Taliban, Afghanistan, which has an infant mortality rate that is 50 percent higher than Rwanda.
Is Sharia law going to bring Egypt's infant mortality rate closer to that of Japan or Afghanistan? It isn't any good at that, but it will be good for beheading all sorts of people that the followers of the dark and vengeful god disprove of. Beginning with heretics.
Indonesia just sentenced a man to 2 years in jail for writing, "Allah doesn't exist" on Facebook. Thanks to Western innovation, Indonesia has Facebook. But it also has blasphemy laws, because if people started doubting the dark god, they might start asking why Indonesia has an infant mortality rate that is 13 times that of neighboring Singapore.
It's not that the Muslim world doesn't have doctors. They just tend to be doing other things, like Dr. Ayman Al-Zawahiri, a surgeon and the leader of Al-Qaeda; Dr. Mahmoud Al-Zahar, a surgeon and co-founder of Hamas; Dr. Fathi Shaqaqi, the co-founder of Islamic Jihad; and Dr. Abdel Rantissi, a pediatrician and co-founder of Hamas, who boasted, "We will kill Jews everywhere."
Who has the time to waste on pediatrics when you worship a dark and vengeful god who gave you a mission to kill as many infidels as possible? The only infant mortality rates they care about are the ones that they inflict.
The Taliban in North Waziristan, Pakistan have offered to allow polio vaccinations for their children only if the drone campaign against terrorists ends. This isn't the first time that Muslim terrorists have used children as human shields, though perhaps it's the first time that they used 161,000 children as human shields. The human shield principle depends on the Muslim knowledge that we care more about their children than they do.
Pakistan has nuclear weapons and an infant mortality rate that is higher than that of Haiti, the Congo, Papua and some of the poorest and most desperate places in the world, as does Egypt.
The Egyptians could have gone into this election asking themselves why an Israeli child across the border is six times more likely to survive his birth than one of their children is. Instead they went into the election asking themselves how they could see more people beheaded for questioning their dark god. If they gave any thought to evening up the difference in infant mortality rates in the 264-mile distance between Cairo and Jerusalem, it was only by invading Israel or by supporting Hamas terrorists.
That is how followers of a dark and vengeful god think. They don't wonder how they can save the lives of their children, but how they can even the cosmic score by taking the lives of someone else's children. They don't think in terms of making their lives better, but their minds are fixed on the dark goal of making other people's lives worse.
Sweeney Todd was his own dark and vengeful god. So is Islam. Todd killed in his own name and Islam kills in its own name. Draw a mocking cartoon of Mohammed or burn a Koran and in a few hours there will be blood spilled in the streets of Muslim cities. Most of it will be their own blood, but that is what happens when you worship the dark and vengeful god inside you. When you bow before the rage churning in your own heart, then your sacrifice yourself to the hatred within.
Major Nidal Hasan, the Fort Hood killer, presented a slideshow explaining Jihad with the words, "We love death more than you love life." "The Jews love life, so that is what we shall take away from them," Hassan Nasrallah, the head of Hezbollah proclaimed. "We are going to win, because they love life and we love death." “We love death,” Adis Medunjanin, convicted of plotting to bomb the New York City subway, screeched at a 911 operator. "You love your life! There is no God but Allah and Muhammad is his messenger!”
When you worship death, then loving life becomes a sin, a blasphemy against the god of death whose worship is death.
"The Jihad is our way and death for Allah is our most exalted wish" are the words of the Muslim Brotherhood, the movement at the top of the Egyptian power pyramid, which is as obsessed with death as the ancient Pharaohs were. But the pyramids that the Muslim Brotherhood and other Muslim groups construct are not tombs, but pyramids of corpses-- giant funerary chambers of bodies, those of their own Muslim martyrs and those of their non-Muslim victims, to transport themselves to paradise.
"Sweeney wishes the world away, Sweeney's weeping for yesterday," the chorus sings, "Hugging the blade, waiting the years, hearing the music that nobody hears." But these days everyone can hear the music and feel the blade. The Muslim Brotherhood has been waiting for years to cut away the world and bring back the golden oldies of yesteryear. The greatest hits collection of albums from the invasions and subjugations, the genocides and exterminations of non-Muslims around the world.
Cults of death don't look to the present or the future, they look to the past, to the realm of the dead. They worship it and plot to bring it back. They despise the vitality of the living and the future, choosing instead the dirt and ash of the grave, the poisonous hatreds that never die, living on long after Mohammed rasped his last breath after telling his followers to drive out Christians and Jews from the Arabian Peninsula.
Why bother lowering infant mortality rates when you can bring back the glorious past? Why care about the infants at all if their only purpose is to die in the way of Jihad? So what if they die when they're a few days old, instead of twenty years old. It saves time and their martyrdom can be blamed on the West, which is the source of all ills.
"The Prophet said, 'A single endeavor of fighting in Allah's Cause is better than the world and whatever is in it.'" And that includes the children. It includes skyscrapers, paintings and books. It includes life itself. And then what's left except death?
By voting for the Muslim Brotherhood, the Egyptian people proclaimed that they love death more than life, that they love death more than the lives of their children. The ancient worshipers of Moloch passed their children between the flames, and the modern worshipers of Allah pass their children between the flames of Jihad.
The Egyptians have joined the Tunisians in the democracy of death, at the dark altar of the ballot box into which they drop their offerings that say, "We love death. More than life. More than our children. More than thoughts, books, freedom and civilization." And the world still does not understand what it is witnessing behind the outpourings of propaganda, the jubilant mobs and the analysts spluttering on behind the plastic desks and glowing logos of cable news shows.
It is easy to analyze politics but difficult to analyze evil. Talk about a cult of death has no place in the modern world, where it is a firm article of faith that everyone wants two turkeys in every pot and a car in every Cairo garage. Every intelligent person knows that all religions are the same. That democracy is good because all people are good. Leaders like Mubarak may be bad, but an entire people can't be bad. All religions celebrate life, and no matter how often they say, "We love death while you love life", they can't possibly mean it.
But what if they do? What if the dark and vengeful god that the vast majority of Egyptians want to see executing blasphemers and mutilating thieves has been set loose by the ballot box? What if Allah is the dark half that civilized people and governments keep locked away. The part that tells butchers to chop up their wives and sell them to their customers, that tells merchants to turn into bandits, that tells Meccans to rape the wives of their neighbors and that commands a thousand other atrocities?
What if all our democracy promotion efforts unlocked that dark side, let the beast out of its cage and set it loose to kill? What if Islam's dark and vengeful god is a chimera made out of the worst parts of his followers, their murderous instincts, their self-despite, their hatreds, lusts and obsessions? What does it say about a people that proclaim their darkest selves to be their god?
"We love death" is the anthem of Jihad. It was the anthem of a butcher who chopped up his wife and served her corpse to his customers. It is the song of millions of Egyptians who chose death over life once they were given the freedom to do it. The death of life for the worship of the dark god who dwells in the darkest places of the human heart.

Worship of death is an ugly mentality.
ReplyDeleteA superb post! How long before the dark and vengeful god is personified as a cruel lord, leading Egypt to destruction.
ReplyDeleteIt boggles the mind-the black, endless, bottomless maw where the muslim "soul" resides.
ReplyDeleteAnd so darn many of them.
Thanks for pointing it out so eloquently, Knishele
Interesting post, but the mainstream media won't discuss this, they will just repeat the blatherings of pc hacks about the wonderful democratic revolution. As far as these so-called "physicians" go, you would be amazed what you can buy in many of these 3rd world hell holes. I have worked with some of these so called physicians. Lets just say that I know some graduates from these places that are good and caring, but there are a lot that I would run away from. To top all of this off, millions of these people find every legal and illegal means to make it to the advanced westernized countries, then demand changes that take us into the dark ages to become more 3rd world hell holes like the ones that they just left. These migrants see us as inferiors whose job it is to support them and make their lives comfortable.
ReplyDeleteI do believe that doctors everywhere often sublimate the dark side of their subconscious of in a way enjoying the suffering, by healing and doing good. In the muslim world (and once in Nazi Germany for that matter) however a disproportionate number, like Daniel pointed out, indeed lead in an effort to enhance the suffering of others. Islam is the modern day Moloch or Ba'al equivalent in giving a justification and unlimited ventilation of all evil in man.
ReplyDeleteYour elucidation of comparative infant mortality rates needs to become a meme. This is powerful stuff---it warrants much repeating.
ReplyDelete"Knishele"...yes. And may mothers everywhere warn their daughters and their sons about this dark god, in the ways that only a mother can.
There is a bigger picture to what is happening here and why.
ReplyDeleteThe true God is going to get everyone's attention.
We are living in the day where God is fulfilling His word but most are unaware,in a deep coma or listening to confusion and lies T.V. News.
Ezekiel 35
Because you have had everlasting enmity and have delivered the sons of Israel to the power of the sword at the time of their calamity, at the time of the punishment of the end, therefore as I live,” declares the Lord God, “I will give you over to bloodshed, and bloodshed will pursue you; since you have not hated bloodshed, therefore bloodshed will pursue you.
Isaiah 19
The oracle concerning Egypt.
Behold, the Lord is riding on a swift cloud and is about to come to Egypt;
The idols of Egypt will tremble at His presence,
And the heart of the Egyptians will melt within them.
“So I will incite Egyptians against Egyptians;
And they will each fight against his brother and each against his neighbor,
City against city and kingdom against kingdom.
“Then the spirit of the Egyptians will be demoralized within them;
And I will confound their strategy,
So that they will resort to idols and ghosts of the dead
And to mediums and spiritists.
“Moreover, I will deliver the Egyptians into the hand of a cruel master...
Ezekiel 35 is all about the Arab Spring.
Israel was really,really stupid to put all their eggs in the U.S.'peace basket' full of holes.
Lets keep in mind who made Egypt's descent into hell possible and how many Jews in America say they will vote for him again.They don't realize that they have sealed their gloomy fate.
This is a very fine essay, but I have one major reservation. Democracy is mob rule, and mob rule can take many atrocious forms. Athens condemned Socrates to death. The French Revolution sent many an innocent person to the guillotine, and countless sisters of Madame DeFarge cheered as thousands of heads fell into the bloody baskets. Germans voted for Hitler, who was another kind of "vengeful god." Romans cheered when barbarians destroyed Carthage in the Third Punic War, a Carthage that had honored the terms that ended the Second Punic War and had only asked that Rome protect it from drooling barbarians. Rhodesia was turned into a genocidal and bankrupt Zimbabwe because blacks voted for Robert Mugabe, another "vengeful god" who hated whites. And so on.
ReplyDelete"The death of life for the worship of the dark god who dwells in the darkest places of the human heart."
Au contraire, It doesn't dwell in my "heart." Perhaps the "darkness" Daniel is alluding to is the irrational, the desire for the unearned, the wish that A should be non-A at the same time. Islam is an ideology of death, a means to exist without values, without thought, without a desire to "be" anything. Islam doesn't have a monopoly on that yearning, it is only the most loudly proclaimed and boasted and gets the most headlines. But then, this can be said about any collectivist ideology. And they all share the same "vengeful god" that won't let them get away with enslaving and butchering men: reality.
The dark and vengeful god they worship is themselves. Much as they worship themselves/god they also seek to destroy it and them.
ReplyDeleteIronic that an infidel can be slaughtered or jailed for comparing Mohammed to a teddy bear or drawing a picture of Mohammed as a teddy bear (South Park) and yet these same Muslims name their children Mohammed:(
"Democracy is mob rule, and mob rule can take many atrocious forms."
ReplyDeleteI agree Edward.
Muslims, Islamists, and Mohammedins...Be aware that while you live by the sword, so shall you all die by the sword.
ReplyDeleteThank your lucky stars there is an Israel, or that sword would have fallen from the 30,000 feet long ago..

anonymous. they do indeed live by the sword, and have been living by the sword for 14 long, dark, murderous centuries. when are they going to start dying by the sword?

ReplyDeleteThese are the millions of "people" that Western leaders have imported into our countrie.
ReplyDeleteBlasphemy laws can exist even in free societies: The UK only repealed the ones in England and Scotland in 2008, and there is still one on the books in Northern Ireland.
ReplyDeleteThe essay is right about doctors. Three other doctors who became terrorists were Dr. Che Guevara, who destroyed Cuba's economy as Castro's Minister of Industry; Dr. George Habash, an Arab from a Christian family who founded the bloody Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine (whose members murdered the Fogel family, proving again that opposition to Israel's existence is not fundamentally religious in nature); and Dr. Baruch Goldstein, the only really murderous terrorist we Jews have produced in generations. (May he be the last.)
Worthy of note that 900 years ago this would have been written about Christianity and their Jihad, known as the Crusades. At that time, the Muslim world, along with China were the two centers of world culture. Jews thrived in much (not all) of the former and in small numbers in the latter.
ReplyDeleteJews "thrived" about as much in the Christian world as in the Muslim world. Which is to say that it varied based on the economic and political interests that invited them in, then began persecuting them.
ReplyDeleteIn any case the outcome of that is fairly clear.

ReplyDeleteEgypt has very little oil. It has no industry to speak of. It has an agricultural base totally insufficient to meet the minimum needs of the country. The only industry that it has is tourism and recreation. With the MB about to try to create a sharia-based totalitarian society (a la Iran), it is a sure bet that tourism will DISAPPEAR. Egypt will be in a world of hurt economically. What they do then will be very interesting, but probably not very pleasant.
