Religion of peace

“When fascism comes to America, it will be wrapped in the flag and carrying a cross.” Sinclair Lewis (1885 – 1951)

When Noble Prize laureate Sinclair Lewis stated these words little did he know that his words would ring? In all reality history has proven that his quote was some sort of prophecy!!

Now, after about 60 years after Lewis’s death, we are witnessing a new form of fascism trying to storm the American society, announcing itself as a patriotic warrior for security and homeland!!

The Fascism we are discussing does not use weapons however it depends largely on racism against Muslims and Islam which is practiced widely by many influential individuals affecting the American public opinion. A typically racial website called thereligionofpeace.com does not combat terrorism or extremists as alleged but in fact practices animosity to Muslims and Islam.

Although the website attempts to portray itself as rational rejecting all forms of prejudice it has in fact illustrated the complete opposite. Articles published depict Muslims as the enemies and Islam the religion of terrorism

The website controlled by smear casters, mistakenly uses the Islamic sacred texts of the Quran to promote the wrongful ideas they support, by using texts out of context, ultimately changing its meaning.

ROP website also publishes fabricated statistics on the number of terrorism attacks committed by “Muslims” against other religion followers.

The website laces its articles with sarcasm and insinuations playing on the readers emotions where in one instance it posted on its homepage, an article stating that in 2007 Islam and Judaism’s holy holidays overlapped for 10 days asserting that Muslims racked up 397 dead bodies in 94 terror attacks across 10 countries during this time as opposed to the Jews who worked on their 159th Nobel Prize.”

The website portrays to its readers that Muslims loathe Americans since the Americans combat terrorism which symbolizes Islam and now the Muslims will attack Americans. Hence the American citizen who reads that “all Muslims” considers him as an enemy should be killed, won’t wait for his Muslim neighbor to come and kill him. Clearly there is a missing link with true misunderstandings and misgivings

The disagreeable vibes circulating, truly oppose the most basic human rights of freedom of religion, and will ultimately end with crimes committed against Muslims, who are a minority in western countries such as the United States and Britain.

The website fails to assert that each individual has an international and constitutional right to freedom of religion; in fact the very religion they oppose stipulates that a good Muslim should not judge individuals by religion, and Islam is a religion which endorses and advocates peace.

ROP has not only proven that it is aggressive towards western Muslims, the website is also supportive of crimes committed by the Israeli occupation against Palestinians. The website tends to tilt its scales favoring the Israelis it uses double standards in events such as the Israeli military massacre where commandos descended military helicopters boarded the ship and attacked international peace activists, on the Miva Marmara which resulted in 20 deaths and dozens of injuries.

The ROP website shed light on the dead Israelis with no rebuking to the Israelis’ victims both on board and in the Palestinian lands.

In fact the website has demonstrated that it lacks integrity as it continues to distort the truth and aims at constantly tarnishing the image of Muslims and the religion of Islam by posting photos and stories of provoked Muslims without reporting both sides of the story.
