Mr. Ruff And The Frankfort Jihad
by David Tatosian (8/25/08)
At his press conference held on Wednesday August 20th, Frankfort Township assessor Paul J Ruff rightly referred to anonymous phone calls and strangers parked by his house in the days leading up to the conference as intimidation.
An editorial in the Southtown Star, ‘Pandering To Bigots Has An Upside’ (replete with misstatements and outright lies that are easily disproved by comparing the editorial with the youtube video of Mr. Ruff’s actual statements linked below), Phil Kadner responds to the mere mention of intimidating tactics used against Mr. Ruff thusly-
“what he’s (Ruff) done is encourage religious intolerance, going so far as to put a spotlight on the hate-filled e-mails and phone calls he’s received. Yet, he claims that he is not a bigot or a racist…He’s not one of them. He just wants their votes.”
So Mr. Ruff is a bigot for forwarding an email suggesting that Muslims who wish to live under Sharia law should move to places where Sharia law already rules, and a bigot for mentioning intimidating tactics used against him. And of course we’re all bigots for listening to Mr. Ruff.
But Mr. Ruff never stated that Muslims were engaging in the intimidation. It’s Kadner who makes the connection between intimidating tactics and religion/ideology.
At his press conference Mr. Ruff refers to a letter sent to him by a Muslim he has known for twenty years stating “A high percentage of Muslims who attend that mosque are like all of us; good Americans. Hardworking, honest, kind. The kind we all want to associate with. But I think the majority is intimidated by a minority and I think they’re put in place to take control of these Mosques. And the reason for that is they want to institute, in this country, Sharia law.”
In Kadner’s piece the above statement becomes Ruff “once had a Muslim neighbor who contributed to his political campaign. Apparently, any Muslim who contributes to Ruff’s war chest is a good Muslim.”
I won’t belabor the point. Read the piece and judge for yourself.
Rather, I think it’s important to clarify what a bigot is and assign that term to its rightful owner.
Some definitions of a bigot are- One who is strongly partial to one’s own group, religion, race, or politics and is intolerant of those who differ. Another is- a person who is utterly intolerant of any differing creed, belief, or opinion. Another is- obstinate and unreasoning attachment of one’s own belief and opinions, with narrow-minded intolerance of beliefs opposed to them.
None of these definitions fit any of Mr. Ruff’s statements or actions. But all of them can be applied to a number of statements and actions made and carried out by Muslims.
Again, I won’t belabor the point, but the Muslim list of filthy or Najis Things include; urine, feces, dead bodies, pigs, dogs and kafir. And kafir are the unbelievers. The infidels. The non-Muslims. Us. Filthy us.
According to al-islam.org- As regards the people of the Book (i.e. the Jews and the Christians) who do not accept the Prophethood of Prophet Muhammad bin Abdullah (Peace be upon him and his progeny), they are commonly considered najis, but it is not improbable that they are Pak. However, it is better to avoid them.
For those committed to the ideology of Islam, those who are not likewise committed are deemed to be filthy and less than human. They are to be avoided. Can’t get much more bigoted or intolerant than that can you?
Clearly, if anyone is pandering to bigots here, it’s Kadner.
As to the charges of racism - Ahmed Rehab, spokesman for the unindicted coconspirators at CAIR, is famous for leveling that charge. The Chicago Tribune quotes Rehab’s reaction to Ruff’s email (which Rehab hadn’t read) as; “Rehab said the e-mail was racist and never should have been shared with others.”
Ruff said or did nothing that could be construed as racist, but that didn’t stop Rehab from leveling the charge against him.
But speaking of racism, according to Bukhari Volume 9, Book 89, Number 256: Allah’s Apostle said, “You should listen to and obey, your ruler even if he was an Ethiopian (black) slave whose head looks like a raisin.”
Obey your ruler even if an Ethiopian (black) slave? Clearly Mohammad didn’t have a very high opinion of Ethiopians. In fact, the statement uttered by Mohammad is clearly racist. And he said that 800 years before the first white slaver stepped onto West African soil.
So Rehab follows an ideology that holds Mohammad: warlord, murderer, pederast and racist to be the ultimate example of manhood and has the audacity to accuse Ruff of racism?
Who does this guy think he’s fooling? Besides Kadner and his news media friends?
Mr. Ruff has done what tens of millions of Americans do weekly; forwarded an email that he was in agreement with.
The American Islamic Association, the unindicted coconspirators at CAIR and the news media are upset that Mr. Ruff has an opinion that doesn’t fall in line with their agenda.
Here’s a message for those groups- welcome to America. How do you like it?
