Is it possible to construct your
life around logic while attesting the faith of Islam?
The discussion below reveals a
roadmap to ignorance and it was no mistake that a Taliban ascendency in Afghanistan
hurled that society backwards into barbarism.
I really want to say that Islam
can be redeemed, yet how can a society or a person be redeemed who is taught
that his every action needs to be a betrayal of every human relationship.
Islamic societies have emerged
only to the extent that the population is in ignorance of or ignores the
Islamic Scriptures. Natural instincts
take control and it become possible to enter the modern world. Shedding those scriptures is a monumental
challenge and it may truly need to be done as an act of self preservation.

A Taste of Islam: An Interview with Bill Warner
Posted by Mark Tapson Bio ↓ on Jan 16th, 2012
In the years after the 9/11 attacks, more non-Muslims
than ever before have studied Islam to understand the religious motives of
those who had declared war on us. And yet non-believers who are alarmed at what
they have found in the foundational texts of Islam are always told by
apologists that we don’t understand the true Koran, that we labor under
misconceptions about the Religion of Peace, that we don’t understand
the complexities of sharia, that our objections and criticisms stem from racism
(even though Islam is not a race) and an irrational fear of Islam and its
adherents. The problem always seems to lie with us. What is the truth and how
can we get to it behind the contradictions and the mystification?
Bill Warner has the answer. The founder and
director of the Center for the Study of Political Islam (CSPI),
he holds a PhD in physics and math. He has been a university professor, a
businessman, and an applied physicist. But Dr. Warner has also had a lifelong
interest in religion and its impact on history, and so the day after 9/11 he
decided to make the source texts of Islam available for the average person who
wants to know more.
As part of that effort, Mr. Warner has
produced a dozen books, including a Koran, a biography of Mohammed and a
summary of the political traditions of Mohammed. He writes articles and
produces news bulletins that record the suffering of the victims of political
Islam. And he has spoken nationally and internationally about Islamic political
doctrine.
This Tuesday in Los Angeles , Mr. Warner will present “A Taste
of Islam.” See here for information about attending.
Mark Tapson: Mr. Warner, your background is in physics
and mathematics. How did you come to devote yourself to the study of religion
and to feel compelled to share your insights on political Islam? How did the
field of statistics shape your perspective on Islam?
Bill Warner: I was raised in a
very religious family and read the Bible a great deal. I studied physics and
math, but my interest in religion expanded to the effects of religion on
history. After graduate school I was attracted to mysticism and Eastern
religions. So, forty years ago, I looked into Sufism, mystical Islam. I went to
Sufi dances, learned zikr (a
Sufi devotional practice), met Sufi masters and read Sufi literature. But,
there was always this jarring background noise of the history of Islam. So, I
left my study of Sufism.
Twenty years later as a professor I had
Muslims in my classes and they sparked my interest in the Koran. It was a tough
read, but I read it cover to cover. The text was literally a puzzle, but I set
it aside until 9/11.
On 9/11 as soon as the second plane hit the
second tower, I knew it was an act of jihad. I stood up, turned off the TV and
I haven’t watched it since. In that moment it came to me that the rest of my
life would be spent explaining the meaning of Islamic texts.
I sat down and reread the Koran, read the Sira
(Ishaq and Al Tabari), read the Hadith (Bukhari and Muslim). These are the
absolute foundational texts of Islam, the source code, the DNA. I was following Sun Tzu’s
advice; know your enemy and attack your enemy’s strategy.
My attack was to reveal the Koran, Sira and
Hadith in a rational form that was easy to read. This became the Trilogy
Project. I assembled a team of volunteers and paid writers and editors. From
the beginning, I knew that it was the political aspect of Islam that offered
the only chance of success. The religious aspect has too much misunderstood
protection of the First Amendment.
MT: What is the Trilogy Project?
BW: The approach to the
Trilogy was new and unorthodox, and its only chance of success lay in a
scientific approach to the texts. Every paragraph can be verified by going back
to the source texts. These books are not opinion, but give us the facts of the
sources. For this reason, nearly every paragraph has an index number that
allows it to be verified.
The greatest fun was solving the Koran
puzzle. The
Koran must be the most famous book that is
not read or understood. The first step, which is not unique to me, is to lay
out the Koran in the correct time sequence. The bookstore Koran is arranged by
chapter length, and is not in the right time order. It was created by Uthman,
the third caliph. The bookstore Koran is Uthman’s Koran.
If you take the life of Mohammed, the Sira,
and lay it out alongside the Koran in the right time order, it is like matching
a key to a lock. What is happening to Mohammed is reflected directly in the
Koran. So if you integrate the life of Mohammed into the same text as the Koran
and use separate fonts, so there is no confusion, you get a recreation of
the Koran of Mohammed, the historical Koran. The Koran becomes an epic story
that begins with a hymn to god and ends with the triumph over the world—the
annihilation of all other civilization.
In 2006, I published the complete foundational
doctrine of political Islam in three volumes. The Trilogy Project was finished.
Now anyone can read and understand the Koran, Sira and Hadith. You can know
Allah and Mohammed from the source texts.
This system of knowledge integrates the entire
body of Islam into one view. If it is in the Trilogy, it is Islam. If it is
Islam, it must be in the Trilogy.
Once the Trilogy was assembled, there was a
bonus prize. Part of making the texts readable included sorting and reordering
of the ideas. Once the work was all correlated, concepts leapt off the page.
The ideas of Islamic ideology stood out. The simple statistical method of
counting the words devoted to ideas clearly showed the themes of the doctrine.
The biggest
statistical surprise was the dualistic nature of Islamic doctrine. Islam holds
contradictory ideas that are simultaneously true. Now this
confounds all Western logic, but this gives Islam its great strength. Islam is
peace. Islam is jihad. Islam is a brother to Christianity and Judaism. Islam
annihilates Christianity and Judaism.
I find it revealing that 64% of the Koran deals with Kafirs
(non-Muslims), not Muslims.
The Trilogy has a greater textual devotion to Jew hatred,
9%, than Mein Kampf. We are led to believe that there are a few
verses about jihad in the Koran, but 24% of the Koran written in Medina is about jihad.
My work is from the view point of the Kafir, the
non-Muslim. The Kafir is the victim in nearly every verse by Allah and most
actions by Mohammed. The grandest lie of Islam is that Muslims have the
correct view of Islam. But dualism demands that there are two correct views
that contradict each other and cannot be logically aligned. Hence, there is
the Kafir-centric view of Islam that is equally valid as the Muslim-centric
view. Islam, the universities, and the apologists all insist that only the
Muslim view is the true view. This is an error that is not supported by facts.
We can now hold fact-based discussions about Islam. There
is no longer any need for “experts”, since we have the supreme experts in our
hand — Mohammed and Allah.
MT: You’re speaking in Los Angeles on “A Taste of
Islam.” Why is it necessary to appreciate “the full menu” of Islam in order to
understand it?
BW: It is impossible
to understand Islam based on just the Koran, but it is simple to understand
when you look at the entire picture, both of Allah and Mohammed.
Muslims and their apologists want us to look at Islam
one verse at a time. But this is like trying to understand a jigsaw puzzle
by looking at it one piece at a time. If we put all the pieces together, as a
system, the picture is obvious.
MT: Pointing out the theological
motivation of Islamic fundamentalists always brings the politically correct objection that they constitute a
“tiny minority of extremists” who have “hijacked” a religion of peace and
interfaith tolerance. How are we to answer that objection?
BW: The use of the
term “extreme” implies that something is being measured, and it is off the
chart. There is one and only one measure of Islam and that is its doctrine as
found in the Trilogy. For example, Mohammed preached the religion of Islam
for thirteen years and made only 150 converts. But when he turned to
jihad, ten years later he died, he was the ruler of Arabia
and every Arab was a Muslim. Conclusion: jihad is normal, not extreme. But
notice that since Islam is dualistic, Muslims can claim that it is peaceful.
As to the claim that the jihadists are few in number, look
at war statistics. During WW II only 10% of our population was in the military.
Did that mean we were not at war? No.
In war only a few are doing the actual work, the rest of
the country backs them with labor, money and morale.
There are four ways to be a jihadist – sword, pen,
speech and money. Jihad is incumbent on ALL Muslims; therefore, it is the
sixth pillar of Islam.
MT: Especially in the wake of the Arab Spring, the Obama
administration wants us to draw a distinction between the terrorists and the
“moderate” Islamists we can work with. How do you respond to that?
BW: First, a terrorist
is a jihadist, modeled after Mohammed, the supreme jihadist. A moderate Muslim
can be one who is not observant or it can be a Muslim who is following the
Koran of Mecca ,
the religious Koran.
The apologists always want to talk about people, Muslims,
not doctrine. Remember: when a Muslim is talking to a Kafir, there are twelve
verses of the Koran that state that a Muslim is not the friend of a Kafir.
Also, Mohammed repeatedly told Muslims to deceive the Kafir if it would advance
Islam. There is one Muslim who will tell us the complete truth about Islam and
that man is Mohammed.
The iron rule of Islamic doctrine is: if someone is talking
about Islam and does not mention Mohammed or Allah (Koran) they are only
building castles in the air.
An Islamist wants
Sharia. Sharia destroys human rights and Kafir civilization. Why would we
want to cooperate with someone who wants Sharia?
We don’t need
politicians, religious leaders or academics to explain about Islam, we now have
Mohammed and Allah. Forget the opinions of experts. For the first time in history, the common man can read the facts of the
Trilogy and find out all of the answers without the “experts.”
