This Mohammedan lexicon will allow you non-Mohammedans to understand the mind of an Islamofascist. I am among many that believe this mindset extends beyond the so-called fringe of 14 million radicals. The poster at UAC (QuestionIslam), points out that this is mean, implying the average mindset of Mohammedans.

The following selected definitions are chosen to give the reader an understanding of the how the Islamic community uses words to convey a different meaning than their public relations remarks on matters related to terrorism. This is not an description of Koranic support for terrorism, but rather an examination of modern mainstream Islamic parlance which self-identifies Islam as terrorist. The following definitions are indeed defined by Muslims, but often the definition is (unambiguously) implied rather than directly stated. Neither Islamic disavowals of terrorism nor politically correct denials of Islamic evil should be taken at face value. More properly, an understanding of the moral timbre of Islam should be birthed in the larger context of Islamic discourse and demographics. Finally these definitions are not intended to be illustrative of the fringe of Islam, but of the mean. Although Sheikh Omar Brooks made remarks about his view of a Muslim, he was not ostracized for these remarks by the Islamic masses and remains a highly sought-after and well-respected Islamic leader because of his terrorist preaching. Behold then Islam, predominately in the words of mainstream Muslims.
Allah n. Arabic 1a. The name of the god of Islam. 1b. The most common name invoked in terrorist attacks, often in the statement, “Allah Akbar!”
Dog n. 1. An American. 2. An animal with four legs, known to bark, is considered unclean in the Islamic world and is cruelly treated by the same. 3. A Christian.
Dihimmi n Arabic- 1."protected people," are free to practice their religion in a Sharia regime, but are made subject to a number of humiliating regulations designed to enforce the Qur'an's command that they "feel themselves subdued" (Sura 9:29).
Fatwa- n. Arabic 1. An Islamic ruling which provides information about the nature of Islam as it connects the doctrines of Islam with the events in the world. It is therefore telling that the Islamic Middle East has produced no fatwas against bin Laden, while producing copious fatwas and bounty on the head of Salmon Rusdie. Similarly, the United American Committee, a patriotic American group educating the U. S. on the Islamic threat has put out a call for patriotic American Muslims to issue fatwas against bin Laden and al-Zawahari that has been ignored wholesale by the American Islamic community. Conversely, the American Islamic community has been quite active in voicing support for Hezbollah, with impunity.
Islam- n. 1a. a belief system where the highest good involves killing innocent Israeli citizens whereupon the male terrorists are rewarded with earthy wanton sex in their ostensibly spiritual afterlife. 1b. An oppressive religion where freedom of religion and freedom of political speech are forbidden. 1c. A lawless religion whereby any barbarity is celebrated provided it furthers Islam. 1d A belief system which forbids music and grace. 1e A culture “where satellite stations [compete] amongst themselves in broadcasting [bin Laden’s] sermons and fatwas, instead of preventing their dissemination as they do in the case of Rushdie's book.” 1f. A culture where “[an] individual confessing a crime against himself or others [is considered] unacceptable. We [Muslims] raise our sons [with the belief] that it is not manly to confess, to cry, or to acknowledge that repression and oppression have broken an individual's determination and perhaps damaged his masculinity.” [* This link may be dead.]
Jihad-n Arabic 1. The highest obligation and act of greatest virtue in Islam. Muslims are widely taught that the Prophet Muhammad said, Jihad is the pinnacle of Islam. As such terrorism is viewed so virtuously and sympathetically by the Islamic masses that terror organizers can perform terrific fundraising from the general Islamic population. Witness an April 2002 Telethon sponsored by King Fahd for the Palestinian Intefada, and a more recent Saudi televised telethon. Consider the Al-Manar television program’s hit quiz show, “The Mission,” where Islamic terror acts are celebrated and push toward immortality with financial rewards for contestants who can recall terror trivia. Surely only a terrorist population could make such a program gleefully popular. While labeled "terrorists" by the United States, Hizbollah's fighters are viewed as heroes in the Arab [Islamic] world, and fans of the group's TV station praised its professionalism and its focus on the Palestinian-Israeli conflict.
Kafir- n. Arabic. 1. A person who hides, denies, or covers the truth 2. An epithet for non-Muslim, infidel. E.g. Yes I condemn killing any innocent people, but not any kaffir.—Sheik Bakri, an Islamic Sheikh against whom there are no fatwas. Variants also spelled kaffir, kafr, kufr, kafir. This same language of undefined “innocents” is employed by mainstream American Islamic organizations, like CAIR, who write, “Islam strictly condemns religious extremism and the use of violence against innocent lives.” But such platitudes are patently false. If Islam did strictly condemn the use of violence against innocent lives, then we should have heard a resounding Islamic chorus of fatwas against bin Laden, Zawahari and such. But the silence is deafening and speaks louder than the public relations words of CAIR.
Mohammed n. 1a. The name of the Prophet of Islam. 1b. Perhaps the most common name of terrorists today. E.g., Mohammed Atta, Khalid Sheik Mohammed , Ayman Mohammed Rabie al-Zawahari, John Allen Muhammad (DC sniper), Hesham Mohammed Ali Hadayet (the Egyptian shooter at the El Al ticket counter at LAX on July 4, 2002)….
Muslim n. 1. Terrorist, E.g., “As a Muslim, of course I am a terrorist.”--Sheikh Omar Brooks, an popular Islamic Sheikh against whom there are no fatwas 2. A follower of Allah and Mohammed. 3a. A group of people who are unable to define “terrorism” to Western audiences (see Sharia Law). 3b. A group of people who demand that another group performs the redemptive work of defining “terrorism,” the cause of which stems overwhelmingly from Islam.
Martyr n. 1. In all respected religions, a martyr is limited to describe one who fell victim to death on behalf of his intentional murder by a villain of their faith. 2. Perversely, Islam is permeated with an additional meaning of “martyr” to include the permutation of “terrorist” for “martyr.” Thus in Islamic culture a “martyr” is one who annihilates one’s self in the process of murdering innocent civilians.
Pig n. 1. An Israeli. 2. An animal with four legs containing bacon and viewed to be extremely unclean in the Islamic world.
Prominence n. 1. A high level of stature. In Islamic society prominence is usually achieved by advocating or participating in terrorism. E.g. “Sheikh Ahmed Yassin [a terrorist so influential that Israel assassinated him in 2005], a 67-year-old quadriplegic and the most prominent Palestinian Islamic figure.” – Council on American Islamic Relations press release. The most prominent figures in the Islamic world include Osama bin Laden, Ayman al Zawahiri, Sadaam Hussein.
Sharia Law n. Arabic – 1. the highest moral, spiritual and earthly authority, higher than any political authority, except when Muslims attempt to publicly define terrorism. In this case, taqiyya is invoked and the UN—which also supports terrorism--is implicitly recognized to be morally superior and tasked by Muslims with the redemptive task of defining terrorism (with the assurance and confidence that no meaning definition will be pressed onto Islam). Given the U.N.’s advocacy of homosexuality, evolutionism and abortion, the Islamic world explicitly views itself to be far superior, morally, to the U.N. However, because for Islam to meaningfully defining terrorism would undermine itself and because failing to define terrorism makes Islam vulnerable to shame, Muslims take great pains to remove Islam from this stage of defining terrorism and place any other convenient organization in the limelight instead. The U. N. aptly serves Islamic purposes here as a public relations distraction to the Islamic terrorism conundrum. The mainstream Islamic movements find public relations benefit to claiming Islam is against terrorism. The Organization for the Islamic Conference (OIC) “condemns terrorism in all its forms” while being unable to define any of its forms (except to steadfastly avoid defining terror as to include Palestinians murdering innocent Israelis). Similarly the Council on American Islamic Relations (CAIR) claims that “Islam strictly condemns religious extremism and the use of violence against innocent lives,” while celebrating terrorists and terrorism (see prominence). The gap between “all” forms of terrorism condemned and not “any” forms of terrorism defined illustrates the intimate marriage of Islam with terror.
Salmon Rusdie n 1a. the pseudonymous author of The Satanic Verses, a book critical of Islam. 1b. The subject of fatwas and censorship in Islamic media. 1c. A touchstone by which one can compare the reaction of the Islamic world relative to say Sheik Osama bin Laden (see, e.g., Islam).
Taqiyya n. Arabic 1.a is the dissimulation of one’s religious beliefs when one fears for one's life, the lives of one's family members, or for the advancement of Islam. 1b. The use of deceit to advance Islam. The Qur'an says that Allah is the best deceiver, the Lord of Deceit. The Bible says that Satan is the father of lies.
Terrorism-- n. –1. indefinable in Islamic public relations material, but any Islamic definition of terror is understood to NOT include the killing of Israeli citizens. Alternatively, terrorism can be defined in terms of other non-defined terms like “innocent,” but again it is understood that innocents do not include Israeli citizens, among others. For example CAIR, the American Islamic group that backed a fatwa condemning the murder of innocents, also celebrated the life and mourned the death of terrorist Islamic Sheikh Ahmed Yassin.
Terrorist n. 1. Islamic spiritual leader. E.g. “Sheikh Ahmed Yassin [a terrorist], a 67-year-old quadriplegic and the most prominent Palestinian Islamic figure.” – Council on American Islamic Relations press release.
Zionist-- n. 1. Islamic epithet for an Israeli. The land of Islam’s holiest ground--Saudi Arabia—bans Jews outright.
Endnotes. This rhetorical understanding can be helpful to understand Islam. However it is still more important to understand Islam by the acts of the Islamic community. In this vein we note that “a young Muslim is about ten million times more likely to commit a terrorist act than a Jew, or a Roman Catholic, or an Eastern Orthodox Christian.” Despite the editorial twists of the New York Times, the national consciousness (or sub consciousness) seems to realize that Islam and terror are exquisitely correlated.
