'Islam doesn't tolerate' - pastor Terry Jones, exclusive interview ...

?

I wanted to mention your statements about Islam in general. I think, many people would disagree with you to categorize the whole religion in one way. Certainly, there are elements of radical Islam, such as there are elements of radical Christians. There are elements of any radical major religion seems like. Why do you not distinguish between radical elements of Islam and mainstream Islam?

?

Well, I believe that one thing is not only true. I believe that radical Islam is different, or Islam itself is different than any other religion. There are many religions, but Islam is basically the only religion that also has an attached governmental governing agency. So that makes it definitely different. Radical Islam is different from any other type of religion. You mentioned, maybe comparing it to radical Christianity. Radical Christianity would be, let?s say, only Christian groups who are radical in their doctrine, in their beliefs. But that?s quite different than radical Islam. Islam is not only radical in its beliefs, its radical in its actions. In other words, with Islam there is attached violence, thereat and intimidation, as we see happened around the world when we criticized Islam. And at the conference in Canada, I was going to speak on the subject of free speech and on the subject that Islam is not compatible to Western society, because Islam, or especially radical Islam, doesn?t tolerate criticism of Muhammad, the Quran or Sharia. In a free-thinking society that is one of our major foundational stones, criticism, or let?s say, freedom of speech, freedom of religion and freedom of the press. And those types of thing, Islam doesn?t tolerate.

I think if you look at who was protesting, most observers would say that it was a small part of the population and also a lot of violence specifically was organized there using an incident. Speaking specifically about the violence after The Innocence of Muslims was released over the Internet, there was a terror, not necessarily even organized terror. But besides, I want to touch again this issue of hate speech, why as a pastor who is promoting, you know, religion and thinking about, finding love, finding God, finding ways to be at peace with yourself, you seem so critical about other religions. It seems like there are things that a religion or church would do, it seems like finding good and our fellow man, that most religions look to do. Why are you so outspoken against other religions?

I understand, but I wouldn?t classify what we are saying as hate speech. I mean if you look at the Bible you?ll actually have both ends.

Why are you burning a Quran? If someone saying ?I don?t do hate speech? why are you saying ?I find a secret, I want to burn it?, which is basically saying I spit on your beliefs. Doesn?t it account as hate speech to spit on other people?s beliefs, to burn their holy book?

Well, I don?t really believe so. If you look at the Bible, you?ll see both things ?Jesus talking about loving your enemies, doing good to those who persecute you and hate you. But you also see a time when Jesus threw the money changers out of the temple. You see a time in the Old Testament when a new king was appointed over Israel he would go up to the high places and tear down the altars of the old gods. We see our mission to a certain degree as a prophetic warning, we are tying to send a warning concerning the radical Islam, concerning Muslims who live here in our Western society, who are not willing to honor and obey and respect our Constitution, who want the institute of Sharia. You see worldwide, while indeed, Muslims worldwide are a problem and they are definitely moderate Muslims who have a problem with that as the so-called radicals who were supposed to be the minority begin to speak out and cause violent acts. We don?t see a large outcry from moderate Muslims.

I think you? d be mistaken in that fact. I think, we saw lots and lots of moderate Muslims speak out against violence after 9/ 11, after these attacks in Libya, there was a huge demonstration, in support of the Ambassador Stevens that was killed there, by moderate Muslims. I?m not sure why you are not seeing this things happen as well? You are not following that?

I really don?t see that large outcry. Even here, after 9/11 I didn?t see that large outcry. I see no restitution being done, for example, as I said, I lived in Europe for thirty years. And during that time I lived in Germany, I?m well aware of the Nazi era, the concentration camps and what happened there. And Germany, right now, even 50 years later is still apologizing, still making restitution, still making financial restitution. You don?t see any of that in the Muslim community. You don?t see a large outcry, that they actually rebuilt the memorial of 9/11. You see no financial restitution. You really don?t see that outcry because you have to understand a little bit the Islamic religion. It has a doctrine so called taqiyya which allows them to be two-face, which allows them to lie to us. They in their synagogues promote the acts of terrorism.

In their synagogues? Anyway.

Sorry, in their mosques.
