Muslims and Mormons

By Sha’i ben-Tekoa 

First there was the disconcerting news of a Muslim-only community being built in East Plano, Texas, and now Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton has announced his office has launched a formal investigation into a similar project for a sharia compliant city for 20,000 foreign nationals in rural Kaufman County, backed with Saudi money.

Now, I have no problem with religious people wanting to live in such a uniform community. The Satmar Jews in Brooklyn and Kiryas Yoel in Orange County north of New York City do that. In the name of equal treatment under the law, I have no problem with these projects of building all-Muslim communities.

However, I do have a problem with the content of their culture and society, in particular their polygamy, and these development projects need to be seen in light of American history in the matter of polygamy.

The Church of the Latter-Day Saints, a.k.a. the Mormons, was founded by Joseph Smith in upstate New York in the 1830s who misused the Jewish Bible, and ignored Jewish wisdom, to justify polygamy in the new faith, when Judaism banned polygamy over a thousand years ago.

And for the Latter-Day Saints’ practice of polygamy, they were shunned and worse, sometimes driven violently from one town to another until they fled to the far west and settled near a great salt lake even before the Utah territory was legally demarcated by Congress.

And when the Mormons there reached the minimum number of people in a territory making it eligible for statehood, per Thomas Jefferson’s plan for absorbing new land into the United States, they petitioned Congress but were rejected as unfit for membership in the Union because of their polygamy.

Over the succeeding Biblical generation of forty years, the Mormons repeatedly petitioned Congress to turn the Utah Territory into a full-fledged state and were repeatedly denied.

Finally, in 1890, the Church deleted polygamy from its way of life and in 1896 became a state.

Today, Americans — under a threat by Muslims who hate the country for supporting the Jews in their independent state that is illegal in Islam — need a new, socio-political movement to outlaw Islam for its polygamy. A “Sense of the Senate” resolution defining Islam as an alien and hostile ideology in a class with Communism and Nazism might a place to start.

There are now more than 3,000 mosques in the U.S. and concerned citizens in whose neighborhoods with a mosque should be encouraged to file a complaint with the proper authorities asking for a court order to be served by a marshal or a sheriff to the mosque ordering it closed and padlocked, like a brothel or drug den for fostering polygamy which is illegal in every state.

Concerned citizens also need to pressure their congressmen to close the door to Muslim immigration. During the Cold War, the State Department did not answer favorably requests for visas from people in Communist states, and no less during World War II, any German or Japanese national wanting to visit the U.S. would have been denied entry. Shutting down immigration from Muslim states should be approved as legitimate, time-honored policy toward a hostile power.

Islam must be recognized as an enemy of the American way of life, like Communism and Nazism, all three totalitarian systems, all fueled by an hysterical hatred of Jews.

The cliché is that Islam is like Judaism and Christianity, an Abrahamic religion too, when that is demonstrably false. Abraham was chosen as G-d’s missionary to mankind for his kindness, and no honest person today would describe the behavior of Muslims on either 9-11 or October 7 or in any one of their thousands of terrorist horrors, as kind.

The Torah records Abraham yearning for a son all his life and finally having one at age 86, though Ishmael, as prophesied, turned out to be a “wild ass of a man” who in character took after his mother’s Hamitic people and not Abraham and Sarah’s descent from Ham’s brother, Shem.

Indeed, when Ishmael was sixteen years old, Abraham chose to expel him not only from his family and community of hundreds of disciples but the country.

Surely, the greatest authority on what is and what is not Abrahamic was Abraham himself who was advised by G-d to listen to his wife who feared, after aged Abraham’s passing, Ishmael capable of murdering their son Isaac, in order to possess the Patriarch’s material wealth and spiritual legacy.

No, Islam is not the religion of Abraham as the Muslims falsely claim, proven false with every act of cruelty they commit.

On 10 February, in a London High School classroom, a 13-year-old boy whipped out a knife and stabbed two other boys about the same age, grievously wounding them, while shouting “Allahu Akbar!” before running away until captured by the police who told the media, “This may have been an Islamist terror attack.”

Just “may have been”?

The British media reported that authorities had not yet officially cited the motive pending an investigation, but what is there to investigate? Said senior police officer Luke Williams, investigators were “keeping an open mind about the motive” — which detail in this news item speaks volumes.

A Muslim with a knife shouting “Allahu Akbar!” and stabbing people at random is an old story in Israel. What is revealing here is the British response incapable of speaking the truth and identifying the ideology that fosters such wanton, evil behavior.

Britain has been plagued for years by Muslims armed with knives who use them on the populace, who in the stabber’s eyes are infidels refusing to convert to the One True Faith. Three years ago, Mayor of London Sadiq Kahn pledged to install metal detectors at the entrance to schools, but that never happened.

Two years ago, in Southport, a town northwest of Manchester, three girls in a dance workshop, ages 6, 7, and 9 were slain by one Axel Rudakubana, who owned an al-Qaida training manual.

That British police these days are behaving this way is a clear symptom of dhimmitude, namely, submitting to the menace of Islam. Here is their inability to get angry and even express hatred for this community’s destruction of civil society in Britain.

The police, like the BBC, have been cowed into paralysis when it comes to speaking out against Muslims. This senior police officer would better serve the people who pay him his salary by expressing his anger and horror at the behavior of a human being shouting “Allahu Akbar!” and stabbing innocent people at random. One report said one of the boys in that high school was stabbed in the neck, which should not surprise, and here is why:

Muslims believe that the Jews stole the famous story of the binding by Ibrahim of his son Isma’il from Islam, and in their lying Torah teach the son bound was Eeshkhok (Isaac).

Indeed, so central is this episode to Islam, one of its five commandments is the obligation once in a lifetime of a Believer to make the pilgrimage to Mecca to the spot where Ibrahim bound his son Isma’il for a sacrifice.

The episode is also recalled annually during Eid al-Adha, the “Feast of the Sacrifice.” It is one of the few holidays in Islam, during which Believers slit the throats of millions of animals, with fathers using the day to teach their sons how to do that. In recent IDF operations in Gaza, soldiers have come across manuals for the kidnappers of October 7 with instructions how to best to kill a Jewish captive by slitting his throat.

The West has got to be honest about Islam; sadly, the Brits have become a sorry example. When those three girls were murdered in Southport, the prosecutors did not charge the assassin with perpetrating a “terrorist attack.” The prosecutors said they found no evidence of terrorism, though the court did give him life in prison, which punishment is another wretched example of the West losing its spiritual ability to put murderers to death, a civilizational loss of nerve that Israel is afflicted with too.
