Scourges stemming from Darwinism: communism, fascism, Satanism and terror (2)

Darwin Was a Racist Who Espoused the Elimination of Races He Regarded As Inferior 

RACISM, WHICH EQUATES AFRICANS WITH "APES" This drawing reflects the theory of Social Darwinism which developed in the 19th century. The branches of the tree contain a chimpanzee, a gorilla, an orangutang and an African. This villainous hatred of black-skinned people was one of the founding principles of Nazism.

Charles Darwin, the founder of the theory of evolution, based the development of living things and human beings on the concept of the struggle for life. According to that view, there is a ruthless struggle for life, a permanent state of conflict, in nature. Darwin suggested that this struggle also applied between human races and claimed that it contributed to the progress of civilization by eliminating (so-called) inferior races. Darwin’s views on the Turkish nation are described as follows in the book “The Life and Letters of Charles Darwin,” collected by his son: 

“I could show fight on natural selection having done and doing more for the progress of civilization than you seem inclined to admit. Remember what risk the nations of Europe ran, not so many centuries ago of being overwhelmed by the Turks, and how ridiculous such an idea now is! The more civilised so-called Caucasian races have beaten the Turkish hollow in the struggle for existence. Looking to the world at no very distant date, what an endless number of the lower races will have been eliminated by the higher civilised races throughout the world.” ¹ 

Darwin also regarded negroes and native Australians as inferior races, and even equated these civilized peoples with “gorillas.” 

At some future period, not very distant as measured by centuries, the civilized races of man will almost certainly exterminate, and replace, the savage races throughout the world. At the same time the anthropomorphous apes ... will no doubt be exterminated. The break between man and his nearest allies will then be wider, for it will intervene between man in a more civilized state, as we may hope, even than the Caucasian, and some ape as low as a baboon, instead of as now between the Negro or Australian and the gorilla. ²  

Darwin’s words are clear: he suggests that the races he regards as inferior will soon be ELIMINATED by the Europeans. He describes the Europeans he hopes will do this as “civilised races” and describes other modern civilized societies as, in his eyes, “inferior races.”

The terror that grew up within that Darwinian perspective is responsible for World War II that cost the lives of millions of people and to the scourge of terrorism that has killed thousands in so many countries today. Therefore, it is DARWINISM and DARWINISM alone that represents the key to the terrible scourges and problems facing the world today. Darwin brought nothing but oppression, war, slaughter, death, degeneration, terror and affliction to societies. Darwinism is the worst mass deception in history and the basic foundation of all bloody ideologies.

Scourges can only be brought to an end by anti-Darwinist education

That being the case, at a time when people, women, children and the elderly, are being killed as a result of the terror nourished by Darwinism, when heretical ideologies such as communism and fascism were responsible for the bloodiest period in history, it is incomprehensible for people with materialist and Darwinist mindsets to come together and publish many pages in praise of Darwin and blindly persist in Darwinist propaganda. It is very dangerous to use the state and publications paid for by the taxpayer to defend Darwin, who described civilized nations as “inferior races” and even went as far as to claim they should be ELIMINATED, and Darwinism, the foundation behind communism and fascism, scourges affecting the whole world, and behind the PKK terror in Turkey.

Darwinism has today been refuted by all branches of science. More than 100 million fossils representing 250,000 different species have been unearthed. BUT NOT ONE IS A TRANSITIONAL FOSSIL. Therefore, these 100 million fossils ALL REFUTE DARWINISM AND SUPPORT CREATION. All the fossils discovered belong to perfect, flawless and unchanged life forms. It has today been proved that it is impossible for even a single protein to form by chance. The magnificent DNA molecule, that we now know contains enough information to fill 1 million encyclopedia pages, has demolished all Darwinist claims. It has been realized that natural selection cannot add any new information to living things, and that mutations only INFLICT HARM on living things. THERE IS NOT ONE SINGLE PIECE OF EVIDENCE TO SUPPORT DARWINISM. Darwinists have been shown, in the face of this lack of any evidence, to resort to FRAUD, THE MANUFACTURE OF HOAX FOSSILS AND TO HIDING AWAY FOSSILS THAT PROVE CREATION. All Darwinist frauds have been exposed, but Darwinist propaganda has been maintained with a huge deception DESPITE THIS LACK OF ANY SCIENTIFIC EVIDENCE.

Avoiding any mention of these scientific facts, defending the heretical religion that is Darwinism, the origin of bloody terror, and heaping praise on Darwin, a racist fascist, merely wastes people’s time. People now know that Darwinism is a fraud, one that has been scientifically refuted. Trying to force people to believe in a deception in the face of all this certain scientific evidence is pointless. What needs to be done is to admit that Darwinism, a heretical religion, has collapsed in the light of all the scientific facts. Countries can only be freed from the scourge of terror that afflicts them through anti-Darwinist education and propaganda.

Scourges stemming from Darwinism: communism, fascism, Satanism and terror (1)

 http://harunyahya.com

Darwinism, communism, materialism, violence and terror are all inseparable parts of a single whole. Since Darwinism regards human beings as aimless animals, it leads people who adopt this perspective in the direction of rebellion, conflict, anarchy, lovelessness, selfishness and immorality. 

People raised under Darwinist indoctrination, which turns them away from the values that make human beings human and suggests that life is a battleground, attach no importance to the family, religious moral values or honor and virtue and are quite capable of turning toward any heretical ideology or movement. Movements based on Darwinism were responsible for the worst destruction, wars, acts of terrorism, mass slaughter and genocide in the last century. Darwinism inflicted communism, fascism and war on the world as a whole and terrorism on Turkey. Darwinism is the key to all the problems of all kinds that have arisen over the last 150 years. 

Darwinism Is Inextricably Linked to Communism and Terror 

All ideologies rooted in materialism and Darwinism deny such concepts as moral virtues and spiritual matters, and regard human beings as solely material entities, as a kind of animal. Indeed, the bloody communist and fascist dictators of the past based all their ideologies and actions on Darwinism. 

Karl Marx set out the link between Darwinism and communism as follows:

"Darwin’s work is most important and suits my purpose in that it provides a basis in natural science for the historical class struggle." (Letters: Marx-Engels Correspondence, vol. 2, p. 126)

Lenin said: 

"The whole theory of Marx is an application of the theory of evolution—in its most consistent, complete, well-considered and fruitful form—to modern capitalism.” (V. I. Lenin, State and Revolution, New York: International Publishers Co., Inc., 1932.).

Marx said: 

"…this is the book that contains the natural-history foundation of our view point." (Marx and Engels, Letters, p. 426)

The Chinese communist dictator Mao, who slaughtered vast masses of people, openly described the heretical ideology he based himself on: 

"CHINESE SOCIALISM IS BASED ON DARWIN AND HIS THEORY OF EVOLUTION." (K. Mehnert, Kampf um Mao's Erbe, Deutsche Verlags-Anstalt, 1977)

Stalin said:

“There are three things that we do to disabuse the minds of our seminary students. We had to teach them the age of the earth, the geologic origin, and Darwin's teachings.” (Kent Hovind, The False Religion of Evolution, http://www.royalse.com/scroll/evolve/ndxng.html)

Terror is an effective method that separatist organizations rooted in Darwinism employ to achieve their aims. Communist leaders have recommended terror to their supporters as an indispensible weapon. The actions of separatist terror organizations are all in line with the recommendations of communist leaders and ideologues. The terror instructions given by Lenin, one such leader, are particularly striking: 

“They must arm themselves as best they can (rifles, revolvers, bombs, knives, knuckle-dusters, sticks, rags soaked in kerosene for starting fires, ropes or rope ladders, shovels for building barricades, pyroxylin cartridges, barbed wire, nails, etc., etc.). . . To launch attacks under favourable circumstances is not only every revolutionary’s right, but his plain duty. The killing of spies, policemen, gendarmes, the blowing up of police stations, the liberation of prisoners, the seizure of government funds for the needs of the uprising. . . every detachment of the revolutionary army must be ready to start such operations at a moment’s notice.” (Lenin Collected Works, Progress Publishers, 1972, Moscow, Vol. 9, pp. 420-424.).

That same terror nourished by Darwinism is one of the greatest scourges facing many countries of the world. Abdullah Öcalan, the baby-killer and leader of the Kurdistan Workers’ Party (PKK), a terrorist organization responsible for the killing of countless soldiers in Turkey over the years, is known for his admiration of Darwin’s heretical teachings: 

“The natural process of evolution that goes on in all living entities except for man is also continued in a conscious manner, with its own conception and expression, in human society. The leap in conception that led to the present-day linguistic structure in the human species Homo sapiens permitted a leap in deliberate social structures. During the primitive social phase, human groups lived on the level of a kind of developed animal society...” 

“The PKK followed a development compatible with the Marxist-Leninist tradition. It is clear that the next stage will take place on this legacy, components inseparable from one another like flesh and nail.”

Islam is not the source of terrorism, but its solution

Introduction

During the last two decades in particular, the concept of "Islamic terror" has been often discussed. In the wake of the September 11 terrorist attacks on targets in New York and Washington which caused the death of tens of thousands of innocent civilians, this concept has once again returned to the top of the international agenda.

As Muslims, we completely condemn these attacks and offer our condolences to the American people. 

In this article, we will explain that Islam is by no means the source of this violence and that violence has no place in Islam.

We strongly condemn the cruel terrorist acts which targeted the innocent people of the United States.

One point that should be stressed at the outset is that the identities of the perpetrators of the acts of terrorism which targeted the United States are not yet determined. There is a chance that these horrible attackers are linked to quite different centres. It may well be a communist organization harboring rage and hatred against American values, a fascist organization opposing federal administration or a secret faction in another state. Even though the hijackers have Muslim identities, the questions regarding by whom and for what purposes these people were used will probably remain to be a mystery.

The fact remains however, that even if the terrorists have Muslim identities, the terror they perpetrated cannot be labelled "Islamic terror", just as it would not be called "Jewish terror" if the perpetrators were Jews or "Christian terror" if they were Christians.

That is because, as we will examine in the following pages,murdering innocent people in the name of religion is unacceptable. We need to keep in mind that, among those who were killed in Washington or New York, there were people who loved Jesus (Christians), Prophet Moses (Jews) and Muslims. According to Islam, murdering innocent people is a great sin that, unless forgiven by God, brings torment in Hell.

Thus, a religious person who has fear of God can never commit such an act.

In fact, the aggressors can commit such violence only with the intention of attacking religion itself. It may well be that they carried out this violence to present religion as evil in the eyes of people, to divorce people from religion and to generate hatred and reaction against pious people. Consequently, every attack having a "religious" facade on American citizens or other innocent people is actually an attack made against religion.

All the three Theistic religions command love, mercy and peace. Terror, on the other hand, is the opposite of religion; it is cruel, merciless and it demands bloodshed and misery. This being the case, while looking for the perpetrators of a terrorist act, its origins should be sought in disbelief rather than in religion. People with a fascist, communist, racist or materialist outlook on life should be suspected as potential perpetrators. The name or the identity of the triggerman is not important. If he can kill innocent people without blinking an eye, whatever his label is, then he is a disbeliever, not a believer. He is a murderer with no fear of God, whose main ambition is to shed blood and to give harm.

For this reason, "Islamic terror" is quite a erroneous concept which contradicts Islam's message. That is because, the religion of Islam can by no means concur with terror. On the contrary, Muslims are responsible for preventing terrorist acts and bringing peace and justice to the world.

The Values of the Qur'an demands Goodness, Justice and Peace

Terror, in its broadest sense, is violence committed against non-military targets for political purposes. To put it in another way, the targets of terror are entirely innocent civilians whose only crime is, in the eyes of terrorists, to represent "the other".

This is an act bereft of any moral justification. This, as in the case of murders committed by Hitler or Stalin, is a crime committed against "mankind".

The Qur'an is a Book revealed to people as a guide to the true path and in this Book, God commands man to adopt good morals. This morality is based upon concepts such as love, compassion, tolerance and mercy. God calls all people to Islamic morals through which compassion, mercy, peace and tolerance can be experienced all over the world:

You who believe! Enter absolutely into peace (Islam). Do not follow in the footsteps of Satan. He is an outright enemy to you. (Surat al-Baqara :208)

The values of the Qur'an hold a Muslim responsible for treating all people, whether Muslim or non-Muslim, kindly and justly, protecting the needy and the innocent and preventing the "dissemination of mischief". Mischief comprises all forms of anarchy and terror that remove security, comfort and peace. As God says in a verse, "God does not love mischief makers". (Surat al-Qasas: 77)

Murdering a person for no reason is one of the most obvious examples of mischief. God repeats in the Qur'an a command He formerly revealed to Jews in the Old Testament thus:

So We decreed for the tribe of Israel that if someone kills another person - unless it is in retaliation for someone else or for causing corruption in the earth - it is as if he had murdered all mankind. And if anyone gives life to another person, it is as if he had given life to all mankind. Our Messengers came to them with Clear Signs but even after that many of them committed outrages in the earth. (Surat al-Ma'ida: 32)

As the verse suggests, a person who kills even a single man, "unless it is in retaliation for someone else or for causing corruption in the earth", commits a crime as if he had murdered all mankind on earth.

This being the case, it is obvious what great sins are the murders, massacres and, attacks, popularly known as "suicide attacks", committed by terrorists are. God informs us how this cruel face of terrorism will be punished in the hereafter in the following verse:

There are only grounds against those who wrong people and act as tyrants in the earth without any right to do so. Such people will have a painful punishment. (Surat ash-Shura: 42)

All these reveal that organizing acts of terror against innocent people is utterly against Islam and it is unlikely that any Muslim could ever commit such crime. On the contrary, Muslims are responsible for stopping these people, removing "mischief on earth" and bringing peace and security to all people all over the world. Being a Muslim cannot be reconciled with terror. Just the contrary, it is the solution and prevention of terror.

This being the case, how did the popular term "Islamic terror" emerge?

What has been examined so far reveals that it is not possible to talk about an "Islamic" terror. Indeed, a closer look at the characteristics of the perpetrators explicitly reveals that this terror is not a religious but a social phenomenon.

The Bedouin Character in the Qur'an

In the period of our Prophet, there existed two basic social structures in Arabia. City-dwellers and Bedouins (Desert Arabs). A sophisticated culture prevailed in Arab towns. Commercial relations linked the towns to the outer world, which contributed to the formation of "civilized life" among Arabs dwelling in cities. They had refined aesthetic values, enjoyed literature and, especially poetry. Desert Arabs, on the other hand, were the nomad tribes living in the desert who had a very crude culture. Utterly unaware of arts and literature, they developed an unrefined, harsh character.

Islam was born and developed among the inhabitants of Mecca, the most important city of the peninsula. However, as Islam spread to the peninsula, all tribes in Arabia embraced it. Among these tribes were also Desert Arabs, who were somehow problematic: their poor intellectual and cultural background prevented them from grasping the profundity and noble spirit of Islam. Of this God states the following in a verse:

The Desert Arabs are more obdurate in disbelief and hypocrisy and more likely not to know the limits which God has sent down to His Messenger. God is All-Knowing, All-Wise. (Surat at-Tawba: 97)

The Desert Arabs, that is, social groups who were "obdurate in disbelief and hypocrisy" and prone to disobey God's commands, became a part of the Islamic world in the Prophet's lifetime. In latter periods, they became a source of trouble for the Islamic world. The sect called "Kharijis" that emerged among Bedouins was an example. The most distinctive trait of this perverse sect (which was called "Kharijis" the rebels because they greatly deviated from Sunni practises), was their extremely vulgar, wild and fanatical nature. The "Kharijis", who had no comprehension whatsoever of the essence of Islam or of the virtues and the values of the Qur'an, waged war against all other Muslims and based this war on a few Qur'anic verses about which they made distorted interpretations. Furthermore, they carried out "acts of terrorism". Caliph Ali, who was one of the closest companions of the Prophet and was described by him as the "gate of the city of knowledge", was assassinated by a Kharijite.

In latter periods, "Hashashis" (Assassins), another brutal organization, emerged; this was a "terrorist organization" made up of ignorant and fanatical militants bereft of a profound understanding of the essence of Islam and thus who could be readily influenced by simple slogans and promises.

In other words, just as the Crusaders distorted and misinterpreted Christianity as a teaching of brutality, some perverted groups emerging in the Islamic world misinterpreted Islam and resorted to brutality. What is common to these sects and the Crusaders was their "Bedouin" nature. That is, they were ignorant, unrefined, uncultivated, vulgar, and isolated people. The violence they resorted resulted from this social structure, rather than the religion to which they claimed to adhere.

The Actual Source of Terrorism: The Third World Fanaticism

These examples from history are enlightening for a better understanding of the phenomenon, the so-called "Islamic terror", which is nowadays on the top of the international agenda. That is because those who emerge and carry out acts of terrorism in the name of Islam or those who back such acts -these people, no doubt, represent a minority in the world of Islam- stem from this "Bedouin character", not from Islam. Failing to understand the essence of Islam, they try to make Islam, essentially a religion of peace and justice, a tool of barbarism, which is simply an outcome of their social and cultural structure. The origin of this barbarism, which may well be called the "Third World Fanaticism", is the benighted initiatives of people who are devoid of love for humans.

It is a fact that, for the last few centuries, Muslims in all corners of the Islamic world, are being subjected to violence by Western forces and their affiliates. The colonialist European states, local oppressive regimes or colonialists backed by the West (Israel, for instance) caused great suffering for Muslims at large. However, for Muslims, this is a situation that has to be approached and responded to from a purely Qur'anic stance.

In no part of the Qur'an does God command believers to "respond to violence with violence". On the contrary, God commands Muslims to "respond to evil with goodness":

A good action and a bad action are not the same. Repel the bad with something better and, if there is enmity between you and someone else, he will be like a bosom friend. (Surat al-Fussilat: 34)

It is no doubt a legitimate right of Muslims to react against cruelty. However, these reactions should never turn into a blind hatred, an unjust enmity. God warns about this in the following verse: "... Do not let hatred for a people who debar you from the Masjid al-Haram incite you into going beyond the limits. Help each other to goodness and heedfulness. Do not help each other to wrongdoing and enmity. Heed God Allah (alone)..." (Surat al-Ma'ida: 2)

Consequently, carrying out terrorist acts under the pretence of "representing the oppressed nations of the world", against the innocent people of other nations is by no means compatible with Islam.

Another point that deserves a special mention here is that all the Western world cannot be held responsible for the aforementioned colonialist (or "neo-colonialist) violence and oppression against Muslims. Actually, the materialist, irreligious philosophies and ideologies that prevailed in the 19^th century are responsible for these dismal acts. European colonialism did not originate from Christianity. On the contrary, anti-religious movements opposing the values of Christianity led the way to colonialism. At the roots of the greatest brutalities of the 19^thcentury lies the Social Darwinist ideology.

In the Western world today, there are still cruel, mischievous and opposing elements as well as a culture dominated by peaceful and just elements that have its roots in Judeo-Christian faith. As a matter of fact, the main disagreement is not between the West and Islam. Contrary to the general opinion, it is between the religious people of the West and of the Muslim world on the one hand, and the people opposing religion (like materialists and atheists.) on the other.

Another indication that Third World Fanaticism has nothing to do with Islam is that, until recently, this fanaticism has been identified with communist ideology. As is known, similar anti-Western acts of terror were carried out in 1960s and 70s by Soviet-backed communist organizations. As the impact of the communist ideology faded, some of the social structures which gave birth to communist organizations have turned their attention to Islam. This "brutality presented under the guise of religion", which is formulated by the incorporation of some Islamic concepts and symbols into the former communist rhetoric are entirely against the moral values constituting the essence of Islam.

Anti-Western radicalism once used the communist ideology to support its violence. Now it is trying to use religious concepts.

A last remark about this issue is that Islam is not peculiar to a particular nation or geography. Contrary to the dominant Western perception, Islam is not an "Eastern culture". Islam is the last religion revealed to mankind as a guide to the true path that recommends itself to all humanity. Muslims are responsible for communicating the  true religion they believe in to all people of all nations and cultures and making them feel closer to Islam.

Consequently, there is a unique solution for people and groups who, in the name of Islam, resort to terror or establish oppressive regimes and turn this world into a dreadful place instead of beautifying it: revealing the true Islam and communicating it so that the masses can understand and live by it.

Conclusion: Recommendations to the Western World

Today, the Western world is concerned about the organizations that use terror under the guise of Islam and this concern is not misplaced. It is obvious that those carrying out terror and their supporters should be punished according to international judicial criteria. However, a more important point to consider is the long-term strategies that have to be pursued for viable solutions to these problems.

The assessments above reveal that terror has no place in Islam. They further show the inherently contradictory nature of the concept of "Islamic terror". This provides us with an important vantage point:

1) The Western world, especially the United States, will surely take the most dissuasive measures to cope with terror and it has the right to do that. However, it has to state explicitly that this is not a war waged against Islam and Muslims but, on the contrary, a measure serving the best interests of Islam. The "Clash of civilizations", the dangerous scenario envisioned in the 90's should be at all costs prevented.

2) Support should be provided for the spread of "True Islam", which is a religion of love, friendship, peace and brotherhood, and for its true understanding by Islamic societies. The solution for radical factions in Islamic countries should not be "forced secularization". On the contrary, such a policy will incite more reaction from the masses and feed radicalism. The solution is the dissemination of true Islam and the appearance of a Muslim role-model who embraces Qur'anic values such as human rights, democracy, freedom, good morals, science and aesthetics, and who offers happiness and bliss to humanity.

3) The source of terrorism is ignorance and bigotry and the solution is education. To the circles who feel sympathy with terror, it should be said that terror is utterly against Islam, that terror only does harm to Islam, Muslims and to humanity at large. Besides, these people have to be provided with education in order to be purified of this barbarism. The United States' support to such an education policy will yield very positive results.

Our hope is that these measures will help to the world get rid of terrorism and all other bigoted, brutal, barbarous structures. With its Christian-dominated culture and population, the United States, which defines itself as "a nation under God", is in fact a real friend of the Muslims. In the Qur'an, God draws attention to this fact and informs us that Christians are those who are "most affectionate to those who believe". (Surat al-Ma'ida: 82)

In history, some ignorant people (for instance, Crusaders) failed to understand this fact and caused conflicts between these two great religions. To prevent the repetition of this scenario, true Christians and Muslims need to come together and co-operate.
