Ummah, Muslims,Jihad & Punishment

“Ummah” is the Muslim-Arabic term for the world wide community of all Muslims. It is a general, Islamist, principle that an attack on any one member of that “community” is an attack on all members (ie All Muslims).

Equity demands that an attack, on Non-Muslims, by any (Muslim) member of that “Ummah” must be considered an attack by all Muslims and make them equally guilty AND equally liable to punishment for such crimes.

However, any Muslim is able to remove him/her-self from that guilt and risk-of-punishment by openly and clearly declaring, in her/his local Mosque and in places open to Non-Muslims (To be video-taped for later broadcast) that s/he:

1. Absolutely condemns all of the teachings of the Koran and the Hadith (The collected sayings of that fellow Mohammed of Mecca & Medina) which command Muslims to wage “perpetual war” (Jihad) against “unbelievers” and those which allow/encourage/command the use of murder, rape, genocide, torture and other horrid crimes against others and against civilization to advance Jihad OR the individual/collective goals of Muslims;
2. Will always determine the end recipients of any charity s/he gives AND will not give to any domestic (eg CAIR) or foreign organizations which directly/indirectly support the above crimes.

Those Muslims who do/will not make that withdrawal from those horrid teachings and the resultant horrors of Jihad are to be the subjects of official/unofficial punishment for the crimes of other members of “Ummah”.

Unofficial punishment is morally allowed as the civil authorities of the many nations have been unable or unwilling to crush those waging Jihad with the active/passive support of Muslims enrolled in the “Ummah”.
