Sadek al-Naboulsi is absolutely right. The Rushdie fatwa and the Muhammad cartoon murders and attempted murders led many in the West to internalize Sharia blasphemy restrictions and never say anything that Muslims might find offensive, no matter how true and accurate the statement may have been. We see so much violent intimidation around the world today because people keep caving in to threats and bullying instead of standing up against them.
“Hizbullah-Affiliated Lebanese Academic Dr. Sadek Al-Naboulsi: If Israel Does Not Accede to Lebanese Demands in the Maritime Border Negotiations, We Are Headed to War; Khomeini’s Fatwa against Rushdie Prevented Further Insult to Islam,” MEMRI, August 15, 2022:
Hizbullah-Affiliated Lebanese academic Dr. Sadek Al-Naboulsi said in an August 15, 2022 show on Al-Jadeed TV (Lebanon) that there has been no real breakthrough in the maritime border negotiations between Israel and Lebanon. He said that a confrontation is on the horizon if there is no American or Israeli response to Lebanese demands, and he said that Israeli silence amounts to aggression against Lebanon. Later in the show, Dr. Al-Naboulsi denied claims that Iran has disavowed the recent attempt on the life of British-American author Salman Rushdie, and he said that if Imam Khomeini had not issued the fatwa against Rushdie, then the “global arrogance” would have distorted the image of Islam and the Prophet Muhammad even more extensively. He said that someone had to stand against the “wild” Western campaign against Islam, and that “they should not put up such a dramatic and tragic show,” considering that the U.S. is responsible for a million deaths in Iraq and for the “siege” on Yemen and Palestine….
P Kelley says
Dualism in Islam, portrayed as peaceful to conquer, evil/jihadic and absolute, uncompromisable in faith.
mortimer says
Correct! ‘Dualism’ allows Islam’s ‘image’ to be AMBIGUOUS … conciliatory now, and then brutal and violent later. Then , the mullahs come along and pretend the violence was the fault of the victims, rather than the fault of the clear commands to commit violence that are CODIFIED in discriminatory Sharia law.
Pray Hard says
Duplicity.
Bikinis not Burkas says
Telling the truth about Islam is forbidden to hide the truth, here’s the truth from their own books:-
The perfect man, NOT, defective DNA.
Muhammad was WHITE!

Muhammad was a dwarf and fat!

DavidR says
If religions were human and could actually be insulted then Islam would be both the most insulted and insulting religion on the face of the unrolled carpet.
Wellington says
It’s always refreshing when a Muslim speaks the truth, but this turkey’s true statement only reflects horribly upon what has happened to the West over the past half century or so.
mortimer says
Reply to Wellington: the devil is in the details of Dr. Sadek Al-Naboulsi’s wording. He claimed that without death threats ““global arrogance” would have distorted the image of Islam and the Prophet Muhammad even more extensively.”
Al-Nabousl is a Shi’ite and Shi’ites long ago mastered the art of taqiyya … sacred prevarication. Here, Dr. al-Nabousi is DISSEMBLING Ikitman).
Who is ‘DISTORTING’ the ‘image’ of Islam? When we quote the parts of Islam’s texts that conflict with modernity (quoting the Koran, hadiths, Sira, canonical commentaries and codified Sharia law) we are said to be ‘DISTORTING’ Islam’s image.
However, we are EXPOSING Islam’s hidden, dirty secrets. We are EXPOSING the brutality, discrimination and double-dealing that is part and parcel of everything the mullahs say, even though they do their best to conceal it most of the time.
This fatwa of Khomeini is endorsed by al-Nabousi openly. He defends Islam’s medieval censorship culture.
Al-Nabousi has however drawn our attention of Islam’s ‘IMAGE’ which is in effect Islam’s ‘HONOR’. That ‘HONOR’ must never be challenged, even if the contentions of the critic are 100% accurate and consist of quotes from Sharia law, the Koran and hadiths.
gravenimage says
Wellington, Sadek al-Naboulsi is mostly honest because he is speaking here to other Muslims in Lebanon, not spouting Taqiyya to Infidels in the West.
somehistory says
I’m happy to insult the ‘religion’ delivered by satan the devil, scourge of mankind, with a sack of demonic dung as its “prophet” and satan as its god.’ the so-called ‘prophet’….piece of evil filth as one could ever imagine if writing a book of fiction and wanting to turn the stomach of everyone reading it.
mass-murderer, raper of children, sex-mad and slave-trading thief; lying son of satan the devil and extortioner of others, psychopath and deserving to be hung high, and dropped low for the dogs to eat, but long ago…if he ever even existed outside the foul and evil brains of the writers of that unholy book of demon dung…eaten by worms and then released by them back into the soil.
Now that I have written the Truth of the matter, I can’t think of any insults.
Infidel says
Waiting for your condemnation by Mortimer in 3….2….1…. 😈
somehistory says
Okay, but he was busy balling me out for using the word “Truth” on another thread.
mortimer says
There was a little girl who insulted a friend of her mother’s and so the mother put her in the closet to think over her mean words, and calm down and apologize.
The girl remained in the closet a long time. When she emerged, her mother said, ‘Well what do you say about your temper?’
The girl replied, ‘I spit on your coat, I spit on your dress, I spit on your shoes, I spit on your everything. And I came out because I ran out of spit.’
She was not sorry for her bad temper or immature, cruel, intemperate words. The little girl was incapable of self-awareness.
somehistory says
the “little girl’s” mom is guilty of child abuse. She should be spit upon by law enforcement. Post her name here and I’ll see that she gets the legal punishment coming to her.
And you can go to jail too for not reporting the mother for her child abuse. And you are incapable of seeing anything but your mozlum upbringing.
Infidel says
You beat me to it. What Mortimer described was child abuse. And I say it as someone who was frequently beaten as a kid: this was in the 70s and 80s before the trend of equating beating w/ child abuse
somehistory says
“mortimer” believes himself to be clever. He shows himself to be anything but; and approving of child abuse is something that mozlums do every day of the week and twice on Fridays.
I’m sorry. so many kids are beaten and other things done to them is criminal. Locking a child in a closet is one of the worst.
“mortimer” is foolish enough to believe that a “little girl” can be punished for being “immature” and that it is a good thing.
I must have “insulted” a “friend” of “mortimer” or his mother. tsk, tsk
gravenimage says
Good lord, Mortimer–this is *abuse* of a child.
And you want to punish Somehistory for exposing the savagery of Islam? How does her condemning Islam’s foul “Prophet” Muhammed as a liar, thief, pedophile, rapist, slave-trader, and mass-murderer call for any apology? And should she apologize to those involved in lying, stealing, raping children, slaving, and mass killing in the name of the appalling “Prophet”–pious Jihadists–or just apologize to you? And why?
I notice you don’t think that Jihadists have anything to apologize for–you just regularly excuse their murderous barbarism saying that the poor dears just have the wrong information.
And I actually rather like the child’s brave response–especially as it relates to exposing the savagery of Islam. Islam *should* be mocked, and mocked mercilessly. Why should we respect this savagery, or pretend to respect it?
somehistory says
Yes, g, the little girl showed courage and if only there had been some water in the closet, she could have spit some more.
Never apologize when in the right, and anytime it’s in a discussion with a mozlum ….never apologize.
I think it’s time for a great big glass of cool water. Yes, it’s time.
gravenimage says
Agree, Somehistory. And I’m sure the little girl having no access to water was part of the punishment.
Infidel says
Is he? Were Western countries as dhimmi during the 80s and 90s in the way they’ve been since 2001, when President Bush gave islam a pass, which resulted in people going out of their way to separate out jihadists from the mainstream muslim population, like our “Mortimer” here?
somehistory says
Hey, even “mortimer” doesn’t want the terrorists to be labeled anyway but as a ‘misinformed human.’
P. Kelley says
I recommend everyone take a look at the Islamic brochures printed up by an organization in California called “Counter Jihad Coalition.org”. All are to inform the public about the dangers of Islam .
They put together 49 brochures to print out if you so desire. Each week, they take them to a mall, distribute to folks interested in brochures on table and 2-3 people talking to them about Islam. Muslim’s who walk by can be passive or moderately assertive. Check the out!
gravenimage says
Yes–they seem like a good outfit. Jihad Watch has several stories about them:

Hizballah-linked Muslim academic: If not for Rushdie fatwa, West would have insulted Islam even more
………………………………………….
The repulsive Sadek al-Naboulsi is not wrong. Of course people have been frightened by a death Fatwa against an author–and this recent stabbing is not the first violence against Rushdie and those associated with him. His Italian translator was stabbed in 1991, and his Japanese translator stabbed and murdered that same year.
What is truly appalling is that so many in the West actually *agree* with these Islamic thugs that no one should be allowed to utter a word of criticism against the horrors of Islam, and that if they do they deserve to be attacked and killed. Just craven dhimmitude.
P Kelley says
The West (Congress in House of Representatives proposed Islamophobic laws be passed to favor Muslims/Islam) shot down in the Senate.
The majority of Americans have their head in ass when it comes to understanding the dangers of Islam.
gravenimage says
Actually, those critical of Islam are often accused of “Islamophobia”. “Islamophobia” is not seen as favorable to Islam.
P Kelley says
Yes, so I’ve come up with the following: Islam/Muslims are guilty of being – Jewphobes, Christianphobes, kaffirphobes.
If Muslim’s accuse me of being an Islamophobe I’ll accuse them of being Jewphobes, Christianphobes, kaffirphobes

All true–but you never hear these terms.
And are you new here, P Kelley? If so, a belated welcome!

“ISIS ‘Beatle’ sentenced to 8 life terms in killings of US hostages”
“A member of a group of British Islamic State terrorists dubbed “the Beatles” by their hostages was sentenced Friday in U.S. federal court to 8 concurrent life terms for kidnapping and murdering freelance journalist James Foley, as well as participating in the detention and murders of three other Americans.”

Meaningless. Did nothing but waste tax dollars and give attorneys, judges and guards something to do. Now, he’ll be released by Biden and or used as a kidnapping trade maggot.
somehistory says
He should have gotten the death penalty and then not be held for 25 years on appeals. he should be whacked as his victims were.
P Kelley says
In many States, the death penalty removed by Democrats, rhino Republicans. Islamic radicalization of prison inmates is commonplace.
somehistory says
as g points out, it was federal court and they could have imposed the death penalty for each murder.
gravenimage says
Thanks for that link, Somehistory. Yes, he should have gotten the death penalty–this is federal court. What does it take?
Andrew Blackadder says
Methinks this wee fella has his turban tied on way too tight as the blood has stopped flowing evenly to his brain because islam and its moronic idiotic blind followers have done so much to introduce the evil that is within its teachings to the peoples of the World at large, but of course they scream islamowhatsit when somebody, like me, calls his faith nothing more than a Fascist Religious Cult similar to Nazism than any notion of god above,or below.
The last thing the Israeli Army wants is yet another War but the first thing silly wee ”man” in a dress wants is more and more War because he speaks for Satan.
