An argument
that is often heard from defenders of Islam is that the
terrorists of their religion can't be true Muslims because
their targets are sometimes Muslim as well.
But what these
apologists leave out is the fact that in Islam there is a
category of Muslims called 'hypocrites' or munafiqin,
who are hated even more than non-believers. These are
considered to be Muslim in name only and judged to be doubters
or unbelievers by their refusal to join the fight against the
infidel. Islamic scholars following Muhammad declared
that these Muslims would occupy the hottest part of Hell
(hence, their lives are of little earthly value).
The fact that
terrorists kill other Muslims because they believe them to be
the 'hypocrites' that Muhammad frequently spoke of could not
have been made any plainer than it was in Pakistan yesterday,
when a teacher was abducted and beheaded by the
Mujahideen. On the forehead of the severed head, the
Islamists wrote the word 'Munafiqin."
