So this is why the "Religion of Peace" is so violent.

   

I just read the best quote ever about Islam on the Jihad Watch web site. It comes from the Grand Ayatollah Ruhollah Moosavi Khomeini  who was an 
Iranian religious leader and politician and leader of the 1979 Iranian Revolution which saw the overthrow of Mohammad Reza Pahlavi, the Shah of Iran. Following the revolution and a national referendum, Khomeini became the country's Supreme Leader—a position created in the constitution as the highest ranking political and religious authority of the nation—until his death in 1989.

The Ayatollah Khomeini's words ring true today and that explains a lot about the attitude of so many Muslims.

"Allah did not create man so that he could have fun. The aim of creation was for mankind to be put to the test through hardship and prayer. An Islamic regime must be serious in every field. There are no jokes in Islam. There is no humor in Islam. There is no fun in Islam. There can be no fun and joy in whatever is serious."

In America our Constitution recognizes that we have God given rights and our citizens enjoy so many more freedoms than anywhere else in the world. This is a source of major controversy among the Islamic population here because they refuse to recognize these rights when it contradicts their interests. They do not want to live by the laws in our country because they are man-made laws. It isn't so much that as Khomeini said: "There are no jokes in Islam. There is no humor in Islam. There is no fun in Islam." in Islam there is no freedom of expression. Muslims will quote "our" constitutional rights as "their" rights when they want to build a mosque close to the place where 19 Muslim terrorists destroyed the World Trade Center and killed almost 3,000 people but when it comes to criticizing their religion or burning their holy Koran they threaten to kill the infidels involved.

The Ayatollah Khomeini is famous for other religious observations concerning Islam. Here is another one.

By the way, the story on Jihad Watch that prompted them to bring up the quote about not being allowed to have fun in Islam was about some disgruntled religious terrorists who burned down an amusement park in Gaza.

"Gaza water park burned down after shut down by Hamas," by Khaled Abu Toameh for the Jerusalem Post, September 19:

Unidentified gunmen on Sunday set fore to Crazy Water Park, one of the Gaza Strip's most popular entertainment sites. 

And you may ask yourself: the "world's biggest concentration camp," as the propaganda goes (despite the briskly economic growth, full markets, and luxury goods), has had a water park?

Eyewitnesses said that at least 25 assailants participated in the pre-dawn attack. The gunmen beat the two night watchmen, bound their hands and confiscated their mobile phones before setting the complex on fire, they said.

Manager Ala al-A'raj said that the water park was closed down by Hamas two weeks ago. He said that no one was injured in the attack, which destroyed the resort completely.

No group claimed responsibility for the arson and the Hamas government, which issued a strong condemnation, promised to pursue the perpetrators and bring them to trial.

Two human rights organizations also condemned the torching of Crazy Water Park and called for an immediate investigation.

"The attackers stormed the resort using a four-wheel drive vehicle," one of the guards told a human rights group. "They along with another group of gunmen, set fire to the two main buildings, Beduin tents and 300 nargilas [water pipes]."

Last week the Hamas government ordered the closure of Crazy Water Park for three weeks under the pretext that the place did not have a proper license.

Last month Hamas policemen raided the resort and expelled dozens of men and women who had gathered for a fast-breaking meal during Ramadan. The owner of the site was summoned for questioning and warned not to hold events where men and women sit together.

Sources in the Gaza Strip said that Hamas has been targeting the water park because the owners violated an order banning women from smoking the nargila in public places.

Last week the Hamas authorities closed down the Sama sea-side restaurant in Gaza City where a woman was seen smoking the nargila.

Human rights activists said that Hamas has recently stepped up its efforts to impose strict Islamic teachings in the Gaza Strip.

Nothing new, actually. Just a continuation of Hamas' implementation of its agenda.

They noted that last week Hamas closed down the Aseel Horse Club, also under the pretext that it was operating without a proper license.

Hamas policemen also raided the Beach Hotel and handed the owner an order closing it down for three days. The decision was taken because one of the hotel restaurants had allowed a woman to smoke the nargila.

Two weeks ago Hamas policemen also stormed two halls in Gaza City where cultural events were taking place and kicked out the guests. The owners of the halls were requested to sign a document pledging that they would not host such events in the future....
