Save Muslims from Islam

Save Muslims from Islam
9/28/11

1.1 This is James Matamoros. I need to make a public apology to Muslims, and to others I may have frightened or otherwise disturbed. I have had a change of heart toward the Muslim, and toward the way I will approach him (or her).

1.2 I love the Muslim. It is not the Muslim people I hate; it is that perverted, parasitical, poisonous ideology of Islam, which infects their mind and heart like the most deadly virus. Muslims are not the disease; they are diseased, and I want to cure them. Muslims are not my enemy (unless they choose to be so); Islam is my enemy, and I will destroy it from the Earth. I will watch the death of Islam, and will live to stand on its ashes.

1.3 Yet the Muslim, however heinous his behavior, no matter how many horrendous crimes he has committed against the innocent (and yes, kuffars are innocent, especially because they have not been defiled by Islam), the Muslim man or woman could be my future friend and compatriot. The only thing preventing us from sitting down together and sharing the pipe of peace, is the prison of Islam in which he is forced to live.

1.4 Islam is prison, slavery, and fear; liberty is an open horizon, the right to live your own way, while respecting the rights of others, and a bold spirit in your heart. You can speak your mind fearlessly, believe whatever you like, and go wherever you like. The free people of the world know this, and cherish our liberty. We will fight for our liberty, which  the revolutionary Patrick Henry said, is more precious even than our lives.

1.5 Ralph Waldo Emerson once wrote about our American Revolution, in which we fought the British Empire for our liberty. He said, in his Concord Hymn of 1836,

"By the rude bridge that arched the flood/ their flag to April's breeze unfurled,/ here once the embattled farmers stood,/ and fired the shot heard round the world./ The foe long since in silence slept, alike the conqueror silent sleeps,/ and Time the ruined bridge has swept/ down the dark stream that seaward creeps./ On this green bank, by this soft stream,/ we set today a votive stone,/ that memory may their deeds redeem/ when like our sires, our sons are gone./ Spirit that made those heroes dare/ to die and leave their children free,/ bid Time and Nature gently spare/ this shaft we raise to them, and thee."

1.6 Read again those words, "Spirit that made those heroes dare to die, and leave their children free". Think about it. Those men, facing the strongest army in the world, and knowing that many of them would die, nonetheless fought for, and eventually won, the blessing of liberty for their children, and their children's children. They were willing to die so that all citizens of this nation, including immigrants of all kinds, could enjoy life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.

1.7 I live near Concord Green, where the Minutemen fired Emerson's "shot heard round the world." I know what the Revolution required of those men. Reading this poem always brings that lump in my throat, and often tears to my eyes. Since my ancestors have lived in this land long before the Revolution, the poem is especially potent for me.

1.8 I know and love America, from this little state of Massachusetts, all the way down to the piney woods and coral keys of Florida, and all the way out to the coast of California, where I spent most of my childhood. I love the very soil of this land.

1.9 You, the Muslim who has come to these American shores, can learn to love this land as I do, as so many Americans do. You can also relish the taste of liberty. But you must spit out the putrid poison, the vile venom of Islam. You do not have to live like a zombie (and I apologize for insulting you with that name), staggering around howling and attacking people; you can step boldly into the sunlight of a new and better life. I know you can!

2.0 Many of your fellow Muslims have made that decision, and have lifted their heads from slavery into the light of liberty. The list of freed Muslims grows longer every day, and includes both men and women. Wafa Sultan, Walid Shoebat, Ayaan Hirsi Ali, Ibn Warraq, Nonie Darwish, Mosab Yousef, the Son of Hamas, and young Rifqa Bary, are a very few of the former Muslims who have broken free of the shackles of Islam and now are freed people.

2.1 No one knows how many Muslims break free every day, since the Islamic Establishment does not report the number. The Establishment is afraid that more of their slaves will be empowered to escape.

2.2 I know you face the deadly wrath of other Muslims when you come out of the darkness in which they still dwell. Each of you who commits apostasy (ridda) is saying, in effect, "I do not need your religion, your laws, or your primitive way of life." By declaring yourself free, you declare that Islam is not the truth, that liberty and free thought are superior to sharia law and Bronze Age myths. In fact, leaving Islam is not "committing" apostasy, as if it were a bad thing. Ridda is a bold escape from the Islamic prison and  into a truly righteous life.

2.3 I also know that there are organizations founded to help people like you, people who have gotten rid of Islam from their lives. Many of my compatriots will embrace you and listen to your story of bravery. We will help you in any way we can. One of the purposes of the American Defense Teams is to protect people from Islamic violence. I believe I can speak for my compatriots: we all rejoice when any one of you rids yourself of Islam.

2.4 Once you were not a Muslim. As a little baby, you knew nothing of Mohammed, the Qur’an, or sharia law. You had no chains or prison bars between you and the truth. No one is born Muslim; Islam has to be implanted, like a wretched weed in the garden of your child’s mind. You yourself have the power to eradicate Islam from that garden. I know you can!

2.5 I also know that, like Father Zakaria Botros or anyone who invites Muslims to apostasy, I will be targeted by the furious Islamic Establishment. I am not a brave man, and pain is not my friend. But I love the Muslim, and having enjoyed liberty for over 50 years, I know that my lifetime is short.

2.6 Seeing the limit of my own life, I dearly want to share the gospel of American freedom with Muslims and Mulsimas, that they may burst the bonds of Islam. If you are ready to receive the blessings of “life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness”, let us together declare independence from Islam. Let us do this not only for ourselves, but for our children and their children, that they shall be forever free.
