Islam and Black Liberation Theology
Barack Obama has closely aligned himself with Reverend
Jeremiah Wright and Black Liberation Theology (BLT).
When viewed from the Christian point-of-view, BLT is a
strange creed, but when seen from the standpoint of
Islam, there is a very strong parallel.
Islam and BLT are theologies that have a political goal
of making all politics submit to their demands.
Submission is the political goal.
Islam and BLT are both based upon the principle of
duality. The Koran divides up humanity into
Muslims and the kafirs (unbelievers). BLT has a
god that divides humanity into blacks and whites.
But the duality is not the division, but a complete
separation that is ethical, political, cultural and
religious. The believer has nothing in common with
the kafir/white. Allah loves the Muslim and a
black god loves the blacks.
Allah preaches violence against the kafirs and helps
Muslims to kill them. The Koran says that cruelty
and hatred of the kafir is a sacred duty for Muslims.
BLT does not preach violence against whites, but excuses
and justifies it. BLT also justifies black crime
as a legal way for oppressed blacks to strike back at
the white oppressors. It sees a rapist or killer
of whites as a revolutionary committing a legitimate act
of a just war. Here we have a quote from James
Cone, the father of BLT:
"What we need is the divine love as expressed in black
power, which is the power of blacks to destroy their
oppressors, here and now, by any and all means at their
disposal" [James Cone, A Black Theology of
Liberation, p. 70]
Neither Islam nor BLT ever acknowledges the suffering of
its enemies. Jihad has killed over
270 million kafirs over the last 1400 years, but
there has never been any acknowledgment of the
destruction of kafirs. In Mohammed's official
biography, the Sira, there are hundreds of pages devoted
to jihad against the kafirs. There is not one time
when Mohammed expressed remorse about the beheading,
torturing, killing, raping and robbery of the kafirs.
Indeed, there are many occasions when he laughed at the
kafirs' suffering.
The duality of total separateness from the kafir/white
creates an ethical position. Ethics become
dualistic. The kafir/white is treated differently
from the "brother/sister". Since Allah/black God
hates and plots against kafirs/whites there is no
empathy with the victims of the aggression. There
is no remorse and, therefore, there is never an apology.
There is nothing to apologize for. Allah/black God
wanted them dead, so there is no need to weep.
This dualism in ethics means that the kafir/white can be
deceived, robbed, insulted, raped, brutalized and killed
in the name of good.
However, injuries to Islam are never forgotten, no
matter how long ago they happened. Witness the
ranting about the Crusades, which happened seven hundred
years ago. BLT has a similar fixation on the
injury of slavery, the "original sin" of America.
Demands for apologies from the kafir/white are a
standard fare of Islam/BLT. But any injury to the
kafir/white is justified by the ethical doctrine.
The Koran is filled with insults against kafirs.
Mohammed used both insults and name-calling as a form of
jihad. As seen in Rev. Wright's sermons, insults
and curses against whitey are accepted fare.
In Islamic politics nothing about the kafir has any
merit. The kafir is without redeeming qualities or
contributions to humanity. Inside of BLT, whites
are the source of all evil and suffering in the world.
White culture is seen as inherently bad and there is no
goodness in whites, except for those who submit to black
demands in all things, in short, race dhimmis.
Islam/BLT is easily offended. The offense can
cause threats and bullying. If the verbal
hostility does not work then come the street riots.
Islam/BLT has no compunction about the riot hurting
their own economies.
The reason for so many parallels between Islam and BLT
is that they are both based upon the same principles --
submission and duality. Since Islam views white
America as an enemy, BLT see Islam as the "enemy of my
enemy" and therefore is a friend. Witness the
award that Rev. Wright gave Louis Farrakhan as an
outstanding person. This comradeship is temporary.
When the time comes and Islam is fully ascendant, BLT
will find out that Islam has been using them, just as
Islam uses the Left. In the end, Islam will
annihilate BLT for the simple reason that Islam demands
political submission from ALL, not the just the whites.
Islam is the greater submission/duality system since it
can grow by converting kafirs into believers. For
BLT the vision is a separate and permanent minority.
A white cannot become a black. BLT has a very
limited enclave/ghetto mentality, whereas Islam has a
world conquest outlook.
