TRANSCRIPT

Islam, since the beginning, has used brute force and deception to conquer, slaughter and enslave Christians. There are peaceful Muslims who don't authentically practice their faith and have adopted a more secularist attitude. However, as Church Militant's Trey Blanton reminds us, many Muslims in the West are merely wolves in sheep's clothing.

A prominent Muslim businesswoman in Scotland revealed the often hidden racism prevalent in Islamic communities. Naveed Raza was released last week after three days in jail, despite repeatedly threatening, over the course of years, to kill her son.

Raza's son brought shame upon the family by dating, with the intent of marriage, a white Scottish girl.

Raymond Ibrahim, author of Sword and Scimitar, explains, "Islam, itself, actually, you can say, is very racist. It's very diversionary and divisive. In fact, it has whole doctrines that make people, make Muslims dislike and, in fact, are called to hate non-Muslims."

The prosecutor in the case told the court, "The family holds Muslim faith and the accompanying cultural traditions." 

Critics of the case see the meager fine, roughly the equivalent of $700, as hypocritical application of the recently passed Hate Crime and Public Order Law.

Robert Spencer, Islamic scholar and critic, cites as an example the 2013 case of an 18-year-old woman who spent a year in jail for wrapping bacon around a mosque door.

The 2021 hate crime law is far stricter than prior laws, and lawyers say it will have a "chilling effect" on society. The Pakistani-Scottish politician who proposed the legislation attempted to add language that would allow family members and friends to report so-called hate speech spoken in the home.

Raymond Ibrahim: "It's a mini-sort of blasphemy law that's meant to curtail and silence any criticism against Muslims or Islam from the indigenous people in the U.K."

In the West, Muslims, even well-educated members, know to conceal their cultural traditions. But, in their homelands, like Pakistan, they openly practice hate.

Pakistani police are still delaying the arrest of Muslim gang members who, earlier this month, drugged and abducted a 17-year-old Christian boy. The teenager was tortured and sodomized for days before getting dumped onto a random street.

A human rights activist told Asia News, "For us," meaning Christians, "there is no justice and no equal rights."

Raymond Ibrahim: "The Islamic threat is actually a perennial threat that’s been going on for well over a millennium. It's, in fact, had profound impact on the development of Western Christian civilization, negatively, throughout history. And so, to actually be on guard now, is very much well-warranted."

Leftists openly denounce so-called white supremacists in America, but cry "Islamophobia" when legitimate criticism is made of Islam's embedded racism.

Unelected Joe Biden has tasked his Department of Justice with combating alleged white supremacy by urging family members to report so-called radical behavior to the FBI.
