Muslims Fear Superman Ad

From Democracy Frontline:

"Following its special edition called Daily Planet, which was intended to advertise a new movie ‘Superman Returns, Dubai based news outlet had to clarify to its readers (after several distress calls) that the Infidel called Superman was not really seen flying over Luxor in Egypt and Sheikh Zayed Road in Dubai...."

You've got to read it to believe it!

Of course, you know how Muslims feel about dogs and dog hair.

It's might primitive to see an ad of Superman in flight and believe it really happened. Maybe Superman was using a flying carpet?

nanc, Isaac Asimov, I believe, wrote a short explanation of why Superman never "hooked up" with any of his many girlfriends while he was SUPER.

To try and make it short, remember that everything about Superman is proportional. Now he is stronger than a speeding locomotive, so ALL his muscles are unbelievably strong. He is impervious to bullets, so, all of his body is unbelievably tough. This adds up to when he, ummmm, Finishes, it would be comparable to a Nike Zeus X launch and just as destructive to anything in the way. Very messy to say the least. Also problems with orbital satellites!!!

Soooo, that kinda leaves Superman a oneway whatyousaid!!! Even manually he has to "check downrange first!!!!"

Maybe Superman's motto is disturbing: "Fighting for truth, justice, and the American way."

I've read that the last part is somewhat omitted in the new movie, however.

Muslims take things very literally. Remember the Cartoonifada?

In general, the concept of symbolism is lost to them. The Koran is considered by devout Muslims to be the LITERAL word of Allah--not merely insprired. Also, one of the criteria for entering Paradise is praying in Arabic; Allah doesn't respect any other language.

I wonder what would happen if Spiderman was spotted web-slinging in Mecca?

Old Soldier,
I learned that tidbit about prayer in Arabic from the movie Islam: What the West Needs to Know. Walid Shoebat spoke of the importance of using Arabic when addressing Allah.

The moon god apparently understands only one language.

He also constantly needs blood, just like the desert tribes were offering before MTP came along. Before MTP, the blood was that of other tribes and even that of children; now, of course, they're thirsty for the blood of infidels.

A real sovereign god--that Allah. (sarcasm)

The doctrine that Allah can only understand Arabic isn't widely known and perhaps should be better publicised. It certainly helps to emphasise the limited tribalist nature if the Mohammedan deity/demon.

Also, whatever happened to omniscience? I always thought Supreme Beings were supposed to know everything, yet Allah obviously hasn't got a clue what they're talking about in Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwllllantysiliogogogoch.

So we are to understand that the Almighty can only converse in a dialect of the South Central Semitic branch of the Afro-Asiatic language family which happened to be spoken by a certain megalomanic pedophile.

This is putting human constraints on 'God' in a big way. Almost blasphemous, when you think about it. And do you receive a special fatwa if you address Allah in Hebrew, Yiddish or Danish?

Regarding kryptonite, it doesn't occur on earth, but has anyone analyzed that meteorite that they worship in Mecca?

While the statement about Allah requiring prayers etc. in Arabic is apparently true, the emphasis should be on it being his preference NOT on his not being ABLE to understand.

Like in the Old Testament where the smell of a particular type and age of animal to burn is sweet to G-D, Allah prefers to be prayed to in Arabic and will not listen if in another language. G-D would not listen or appreciate it if someone had burnt say a SKUNK to him!!!

Think of it more as intolerance if you must find a negative.

Personally I would leave this area alone.

Anonymous,
Muslims use the ability and the inability to speak Arabic as a sort of class system. I see it more as a kind of specialness as opposed to intolerance.

I see a difference between prayer and ritual sacrifice as outlined in the Old Testament. Prayer is quite a personal thing, and trying to pray in a foreign language can interfere with the lines of communication. Ritual sacrifice is filled with symbolism and has much to do with the matters of obedience and God's sovereignty.

I disagree. The belief that God does not listen to any prayers other than those in Arabic invalidates the prayers of non-Arabic-speaking Jews and Christians including the Lord's Prayer itself (originally in Aramaic or Koine Greek?)

The whole Islamic theology reeks of ethnocentrism and anthropomorphism. Allah is not God. He is Mohammed's ego inflated into cosmological dimensions.

However Mohammed's cosmos was really rather small (sun setting in muddy spring in the West etc) so Allah at best is a rather limited god.

religion of pieces:

Why are you trying to tell me that what Muslims believe affects the way a Christian or Jew worships??

I do not pray to Allah. How someone who converts to Islam prays makes no difference at all to me.

If you want to raise a lot of crap we could get into arguments over whether Jews need to be saved through Christ or whether Catholics idea that they can pray to Mary and Joseph and the rest of the Saints are valid.

I am a Christian. I believe that I must pray to Jesus, and only Jesus, to intercede with his Father. I believe that Jews are His chosen people and they must follow His laws to be prosperous and live in peace. (I know, with human nature 0 chance)

What I don't believe is that there is a god called Allah who gave a psychotic pedophile named Mohammed the Quran. Since I don't have any belief in that, it makes 0 difference whether they believe that they must pray in Arabic or Swahili or Kurdish...

I also intend to do my best to insure I and my country are never in a position where these psycopaths are TELLING ME AT GUNPOINT HOW I WILL PRAY!!!!

I hope this clarifies my position as to the pointlessness of this discussion.

If you want some excellent information about the inconsistencies and fallacies in the Quran and associated writings, here is a good source:

"Anonymous said...

No, it doesn't affect the way others worship. But what it does do, as with so much else in Islam, is insidiously undermine and invalidate previously established religions. It is the same invalidation process as that which claims that the Pedophile is the greatest and last of the Prophets, and Jesus is a second-rater whose message has been corrupted.

Islam claims to be the culmination of Judeo-Christian spirituality, but it is actually a Satanic cult grafted on to to Judeo-Christian roots, which like some parasitic growth derives part of its nourishment from those roots.

One of the taqiyya statements Muslims make during interfaith monolog is that 'We all worship the same God'

Along the lines of using languages, see this. One thing is said in Arabic and another in English. "Jihad in Small Town America" has several parts, and I think that one of those portions deals with the particular form of taqiyya to which you alluded. Certainly, Laura Mansfield wasn't thought to be fluent in Arabic; after all, she is a blond American.

I believe we need to bring all forms of refutation of Islam into public awareness, not from any personal requirements (I agree that the whole system stinks), but to counteract the vigorous and very well-funded missionary effort being carried out in the West. Google for 'Islam awareness week' or 'Islamic awareness week' to see what's going on in the universities.

And this missionary activity (da'wa) is producing increasing numbers of converts among students, especially in Europe.

"the only reason I read about the IslamoNazis religion is to "Know Your Enemy".

- true. I'm not interested in Islam for it's own sake any more than I would be interested in the activities of the Flat Earth Society.

The only reason I'm interested in Islam is because, as Trotsky said 'You might not be interested in war, but war is interested in YOU!

Substitute 'Jihad' or 'Islam' for 'war' and you have the reason for my interest. When Flat Earthers declare a war of extermination on Globalists then I might get interested in them as well.

I understand what you're saying about minutiae. But I have to say that I tend to agree with ROP, who said, I believe we need to bring all forms of refutation of Islam into public awareness.

And there's a peculiar thing about minutiae--those small details sometimes reach those who, for whatever reason, are not interested in the big picture.

Part of Walid Shoebat's statement about praying in Arabic mentioned the stress which that requirement placed on certain followers of Islam.

Does the NOI pray in Arabic? I wonder....

And please don't let my disagreement deter you from making your comments. You and I certainly agree on the big picture!

The time spent trying to argue minutiae of Islam would be MUCH better spent on outreach for Judaism or Christianity. I think we all can agree that the vacumn in the soul of the euro trash and the rest of the world comes from not being introduced the one true G-D.

These people would not be susceptible to the Muslims if they had something other than the gutted remnants of the Church in their lives. We have allowed the LEFTY disease to destroy the underpinnings of our culture and civilisation.

Better to attack than defend. Better to speak the TRUTH to these people BEFORE the animals get to them. Better to speak of the love, fellowship, and equality to these people BEFORE the perverts get to them, and even after.

We must make our case as Jesus made it. Trying to nitpick Satan is a losing cause.

I'm more interested in turning a Muslim against Islam than I am turning non-Muslims against Islam. Enough ground has been won in at least establishing that Islamofascism is a ideological force within the Muslim world. We've breached that outer wall and now have ammo for our trebuchets for the minarets within. If we stop standing around and talking about it, that is.

Getting a Muslim to turn against Islam is a tough row to how. The best way to get that done, IMO, is to hand them a resounding military defeat which proves that Allah is powerless.

Mr. Beamish,
Japan was a bit different. For one thing, Islam rules every portion of a follower's life.

But my principle of total military defeat still applies to Islam. What better way to discredit Islam than to show that Allah is powerless? That meteorite in Mecca won't be able to defend itself. And who knows? Maybe some Muslims might even say, "Allah willed this defeat. We must be doing something wrong."
