Word Definition
Abdullah Full name: Abdullah bin Abdul Muttalib. Father of Islam's prophet, Muhammad.
Abraham According to all three Abrahamic faiths, he is considered to be the patriarch of the Israelites. In Islam, however, he is also considered to be a prophet and a Hanif. The Israelites descended from Abraham's son Isaac (through his first wife Sarah), and Arabs believe they descended from Abraham's son Ishmael (through his concubine-wife Hagar).
Abu Bakr Close Companion of Muhammad, who was also the father Muhammad’s wife Aisha. Abu Bakr was the first Caliph of Islam after Muhammad’s death.
Abu Hanifa Real name: Numan bin Tabith. Founder of one of the famous Fiqhi schools in Islam. Born in Kufa of Iraq in 698 A.D. He has been jailed by Abbasid Caliph, Abu Jafar Mansur and tortured until his death.
Abu Hurayrah A close Companion of the Prophet from the battle of Khaybar (7/629), he was reputed to have a phenomenal memory,transmitting over 3,000 Prophetic traditions.He is known as Abu Hurayrah because when he worked as a goatherd he kept a small kitten to play with.
Abu Lahab Full name: Abu Lahab Abd al-Uzza Bin Abdul Muttalib. Uncle of Muhammad, but was a staunch critic of Islam. His name is mentioned in Qur'an 111:1-5 as condemned to Hell along with his wife for their opposition to Muhammad and Islam.
Abrogation The doctrine, based on Qur'an 2:106, Qur'an 13:39, Qur'an 16:101, Qur'an 17:86, Qur'an 87:6-7, that Allah rescinded some previous revelations. The most crucial topic for any infidel is the rule of abrogations through which Allah allowed Himself to change His mind. Apart from this silliness stands the fact that most of the peaceful verses (written in Mecca) likely quoted by Islamic apologists, were, in fact, substituted by others (later written in Medina): mainly all the bloody verses found in chapters 3 (-Chr.89-), 5 (-Chr.112-), 8 (-Chr.88-) and chapter 9 (-Chr.113-), particularly its 'Verse of the Sword' (9.5).
Adhan A call to prayer in Arabic, often made through a loudspeaker by a person known as Muadhin. Muslims hear this call five times a day, and prepare themselves for the prayer.
Ahl al-Bait Literal meaning: "People of the House". This term occurs twice in the Quran Qur'an 11:73 Qur'an 33:33. In Quran. 11:73 it refers to the “house” or family of the prophet Abraham, while in Quran 33:33 it has a more general sense. In its pre-Islamic usage, the term was applied to the ruling family of a clan or tribe, and thus it implies a certain nobility and right to rule.
Ahl al-Kitab Literal meaning: People of the book, a term originated in Quran to represent Jews and Christians who were received revelations from God.
Ahmed bin Hanbal Hadith expert and theologian. He was the founder of the Hanbalı Madhhab, a prominent Fiqhi School in Islam. Ahmed bin Hanbal was persecuted by the Abbasids during their inquisition because he refused to admit that Quran was created.
Aisha The daughter of Abu Bakr. She was Muhammad's third and favorite wife whom he married after the death of Khadıjah, his first wife. Aisha was only six years old at the time of her marriage to Muhammad.
Al-hamdu lillahi rabbil 'alamin "Praise be to the God, the Lord of the worlds."
Allah The Arabic name for God. The name "Allah" was known in pre-Islamic Arabia as the head of the pantheon. It is always written al-Ilah (The God) in the Qur'an, never Allah. Some non-Muslims believe Allah to be Muhammad's alter-ego. Allah existed before Mohammed, since his father was named Abdullah (slave of Allah). Its most probable origin is the Arabic moon god II-ilah, but we find in Mt.5.8 the name Alaha, Syriac for God from the Aramaic Alôh-ô, and Eloi in Mc.15.34 and Mt.27.46. Both Alaha and Yah find an ancestor in the Egyptian Yah (Iah or Lah: the moon proper). To reject al-Ilah (Allah) or to assign partners with him (see shirk) is considered the greatest of sins.
Allahu Akbar “Allah is the greater”
Antisemitism Hatred of Jews. The Quran is extremely antisemitic. See Craig Winn's comparison of Muhammad and Hitler.
Appeasement Muslims use deception to trick their opponents. Appeasements, compromises and concessions towards Muslims are lethal. We can’t negotiate with Muslims. Their treaties and their words are worthless. Guided by the examples set by their prophet in Hudaibiyyah, they will break their treaties as soon as they gain the upper hand. Muslims use treaties and negotiations just to buy time (Ali Sina). Read Quran 9.01-4 (-Chr.113-)! An appeaser is one who feeds a crocodile hoping it will eat him last. ~Winston Churchill
Arabic (understanding) Among the favorite line of defense of Muslims is that the Qur'an can only be properly understood in its original Arabic. Thus all translations are unreliable and not authoritative. This line of defense is self destructing: Original Quranic Arabic was without punctuation, dots or vowels which HAD to be added for proper understanding, a finger to its divine clarity. Furthermore, translations were always softened so to be more acceptable to a general audience, like the -lightly- added to 4.34 by Abdullah Yusuf Ali, allowing to beat one's wife. The word 'Kill' was so softened into 'fight' like in 9.5.
Ashura A day in the Islamic month Muharram on which religious Shiite Muslims beat themselves bloody with swords, chains, knives and other metal objects.
Asr Late afternoon prayer.
Assalamu alaikum Greetings by a Muslim to another Muslim. It means, “Peace be upon you”.
Astaghfirullah “I ask God's forgiveness”
Azl (al-'Azl) Coitus interruptus; incomplete sexual intercourse; sexual intercourse when the man withdraws his penis and ejaculates outside the woman's body.

Banu Qurayza The Jewish tribe of the Banu Qurayza is described in various hadith. 800-900 boys and men from this tribe were systematically beheaded on the orders of Muhammad. The women were taken captive by Muslims and sold in slave markets for horses and weapons.
Bid'ah (Arabic) Innovation. In popular usage this has come to mean heresy. From Al-Bada' meaning to create something without precedence. The first type is innovation in matters of the world in technology, medicine, computers, etc. which is allowed. The second kind is innovation in matters of religion and on this, Islam is harsh, intolerant and repressive.
Bucailleism The belief that the Qur'an prophesied the Big Bang theory, space travel and other contemporary scientific breakthroughs, and that there are more than 1200 verses (Ayat) which can be interpreted in the light of modern science. Of course, the same can be claimed for the Georgica; truly a miracle sent down from the ancient Roman gods.
Burqa (burkha, burka, burqua) A "tent" with eye holes worn by some Muslimahs (some Islamic governments make it a requirement).

Word Definition
Ceasefire Since the Qur'an is a timeless war declaration to the rest of the world, in its entirety, any break in hostility is temporary and part of a global warring strategy. Read Q.9.1. Ceasefire occurs when the Islamic State has achieved global domination.
Civilians There is no such word in the Legal code of Islam (Sharia) and all Muslims are conscripted by Allah. In Lebanon and in the Gaza Strip civilians were used as protective shields. Muslims are the 'Army' of Allah carrying their God-given mission to defeat Satan: all means justifying the end.
Criticism Not allowed in Islam nor in the Qur'an, neither by religious leaders nor by Muhammad who silenced all critics, including a mother of five kids named Asma, a poet (ibn Khatal) and Abu Afak, a centenarian man. Also Muslims aren't allowed to criticize each other in the presence of disbelievers to avoid causing disorder/disbelief (Fitna).
Crescent Moon Hubal was the pagan moon god worshiped at the Ka’aba. The crescent moon was Hubal’s symbol. As with the Cross for Christianity and the Star of David for Judaism, the Crescent moon is today a universal symbol for Islam.
Cultic mentality Sectarian groups usually centered around a charismatic but despotic leader (Jim Jones, David Koresch, Joseph Smith, Warren Jeffs, etc), who see that its flock strives against the world (Us vs Them), isolated by the belief that only they hold the truth. --Not all the brainwashed followers of Asahara committed terrorism. But all of them were ready to do whatever their guru told them. (...) They all posed a potential danger to society. The same applies to Muslims (Ali Sina). In its most spectacular expansions, the cultic mentality brought Fascism (Mussolini, Franco, Hitler), Communism (Lenin, Stalin) and most evidently Islam.

Word Definition
Dar'al Harb (or Dar'ul Harb arabic. House of War) All countries and areas, in which Muslims do not have power [of majority] yet. In Islam the world is uncompromisingly divided between dar al-Islam, the House of Islam, and dar al-Harb, the House of War, where infidels have not yet been subjugated to Islam. The Jihad is the “struggle” to expand Islam, to create the conditions where Muslims may rule, and Islam may prevail. It has no end, until its goal is reached, whatever periods of quiescence must be observed. The deceptive Islam means Peace is thus part of the Jihad.
Dar'al Islam (or Dar'ul Islam -arab. House of Peace) All countries in the present or in the past are to be Islamically controlled. Therefore also Spain, the Balkans and Israel belong to dar-al-Islam. Whenever Muslims talk about Islam as peaceful, they really mean the entire world ruled by Allah, nothing less. Places or lands of infidels aren't so pacified until they are ruled solely by Sharia.
Dawa (Dawad or D'awa) Preaching; the missionary call to Islam; request to join Islam, the last ultimatum before 'legitimate' conquest by force.
Deceiver
(Arabic: Makr)
Someone who makes a person believe something that is not true; a liar. According to the Qur'an, Allah is the best of deceivers.
Democracy Western prevailing religion associated with secularity and atheism. A democracy places the rule of people above Allah, the Qur'an and Sunnah, which is un-Islamic and contradicting 4.59 (-Chr.92-). Only an Islamic theocracy, run by mullahs and/or Imams, is a valuable form of government. Q.18.26 (-Chr.69-) states that: He maketh none to share in His government.
Dhimmi Non-Muslim communities living under Islamic law (Shariah), who enjoy legal status but are subject to many restrictions and taxes. Also described as humans of second class, referring to the 'People of the Book', i.e. Jews and Christians.
Dhul Qarnain A figure appearing in Qur'an 18:83-98, identified by some as Alexander the Great who built a barrier against Gog and Magog.
Disbeliever Someone who does not believe in Allah, or someone who does believe in Allah but does not believe Muhammad is his prophet.

Word Definition
Faith Freedom International An online organization created by Ali Sina to combat Islamization around the globe by providing information about Islam that might otherwise not be made available to the general public by the Islamic community itself.
Fajr Prayer before sunrise; also the title of Sura 89 in the Quran (Al-Fajr)
Fiqh (Fiqah) Name given to the Islamic rules defining what is right (halal) or wrong (haram). --Islamic jurisprudence determining the way Muslims have to pray, fast, run their public and private life, do business, clean themselves, use the toilet and even copulate (Ali Sina).
Fitna (Fitnah, disbelief/disorder) Disorder as 'injustice' obstructing the imposition of the Islamic order. --The word in the Qur’an, often translated into oppression and injustice, is fitnah (disorder). According to Muhammad those who opposed him were making fitnah. So, whenever Muslims complain of oppression, they mean opposition to Islam (Ali Sina). Attempts by the devil to create disagreement among Muslims so that the spreading of Islam is obstructed. -And KILL them until there is no more Fitnah (disbelief, worshipping other gods) Q.2:193 (-Chr.87-).
Five Pillars of Islam The shahadah, salah, zakat, saum & hajj (see also All about Islam - The 5 Pillars).
Freedom The right of Muslims to carry any means for their faith propagation, from taqqiya to terror (TV beheading shows, killing apostates and critics). In the Muslims’ eyes, assassination, raiding, looting, raping and even genocide are not evil and immoral acts when the victims are non-Muslims. However, freedom of thought is an evil thing that has to be eradicated (Ali Sina).

Word Definition
Gazwa (Ghaswa, Qazwa) A pre-Islamic tribal practice of raiding others for living Muhammad assimilated into Islam; name given to the 78 raids in which Muhammad himself participated. The proper translation for Gazwa is raid, not battle or 'defensive war' as Muslims like to say. Most of these raids were done by treacherous ways and have nothing to do with a fair battle as we figure.
Good To be good for a Muslim is to submit to Allah's will and then follow the 'right' path established by the examples set by the Prophet, and as such being good could mean to kill you. Good deeds per se are plainly not recognized by Allah as shown in Q.18.104-105 (-Chr.69-).

Word Definition
Hadith The Hadith are traditions of Muhammad, giving us important information about his life. They are usually narrations about a certain incident in which he said or did something. This is how Muslims determine the Sunnah (Muhammad's way of life.) It is key to Islam since Muslims are commanded to obey Muhammad and emulate him. In fact, four out of five of Islam’s Pillars would not exist without the Hadith, therefore making Islam impossible to practice.
Hajj Annual (and often dangerous) pilgrimage to the Ka'aba in Mecca in order to participate in pagan rituals, some of them involving the black stone.
Halal What is permitted if not mandatory (e.g. honor murders, taqqiya, breach of contract), performing something as ritually pure as killing apostates and infidels. Muslims think that anyone who opposes Islam is creating disorder. Therefore his blood is halal (rightful) (Ali Sina).
Hanif Many Quranic verses talk about Ibrahim (Abraham) the Hanif (i.e. apostate of idolatry). Muslims took over this expression and made it highly qualitative while still killing their own apostates and freethinkers. In their bloody expansion, Moslems spared the city of Harran (658) and recognized them as 'Hanifs'. It is also through this Hanif sparing that the obligation to kill Hindus was leveled... for practical (taxes) reasons, not humanitarians nor in conformity with any Islamic standard.
Haraam (opposite of halal); sinful; unlawful; forbidden
Harbi A non-Muslim living in an area regarded as Dar Al-harb, the 'domain of war,' in which Islam does not dominate and must therefore be fought until Islam dominates it.
Hatred Basic profession of faith found in the holy Qur'an: --... Lo! we are guiltless of you and all that ye worship beside Allah. We have done with you. And there hath arisen between us and you hostility and hate for ever until ye believe in Allah only Q.60.4 (-Chr.91.4-).
Hijab Headcovering worn by most Muslimahs that conceals everything (hair, neck, upper chest) except the face (most Islamic governments make it a requirement).
Honor Killings The 'right' of a family to wash its spoiled 'honor' by the 'misconduct' of a daughter. This misbeheaving includes being raped, thus loosing her hymen to a stranger, among the most horrible thing possible in an Islamic mindset. Refusing to engage into an arranged marriage is also such a dishonour. Said not to be Islamic by western apologists only, but understood by Muslims as the correct application of many quranic verses: Q.24.31 (-Chr.102-); 33.32-36 59 (-Chr.90-); 65.1-6 (-Chr.95-); 66.5 (-Chr107-) and 4.34 (-Chr.92-).
Hubal A moon god worshipped at Mecca by the pre-Islamic Arabians
Hudna The prophet made a ten-year treaty with the Quraysh. Two years later though it was broken unilaterely to strike the Quraysh and Muhammad entered in Mecca. Since that time the term “Hudna” designates a strategic cessation of hostilities, which has alone the sense of a force misalignment. A “Hudna” can be interrupted then, as soon as this force misalignment is smoothed finally and the way for a Muslim victory is foreseen.
Hypocrites In Islam, not only are they hypocrites those who refuse Allah, the miscreants and unbelievers (Q.4.61) but also those who refuse to kill for Him Q.4.66 , 4.74, 4.88 (-Chr.92-), i.e. the so-called Moderate Muslims. It is made clear in Q.4.150-151.

Iblis see Shaytan
Idolatry Although most will not admit it, Idolatry is rampant within Islam, as all Muslims idolize Muhammad. Undeniably, Islam is in fact Muhammadism. --What idolatry is greater than worshipping the fantasies of a mentally deranged man? (Ali Sina). In Semitic religions idolatry is related to the monopolization of God through some sacred books hold to represent The 'One' Truth: God's Words or Laws.
Injil (Arabic) Derived from the Greek evangelion; a holy book given to Isa by Allah that Muslims claim is the "true" Gospel whereas the gospels of the New Testament are generally considered by them to be corrupted.
Innocent Only Muslims are innocents; non-Muslims are guilty and sentenced before Allah because of their erring faith. --When they say Islam does not allow killing innocent people, they mean those who have not yet rejected Islam. Once you reject their d’awa you are no more innocent (Ali Sina).
In sha' allah "Allah willing"
Isa The Messiah described in the Qur'an born of the virgin Mariam. Muslims generally believe that 'Isa is the same person as Jesus of Nazareth described in the New Testament.
Isha Nightly prayer.
Islam Totalitarian ideology propounding Arabic imperialism, based on the alleged teachings of Muhammad, which determines the entire social, political and legal life of the Muslims and the non-Muslims dominated by them. --Rejecting Islam is insulting God. We will not allow God to be humiliated Abdul Raoulf, case of Abdul Rahman a Christian convert from Islam.
Islamofascism Like Nazism was a National-Socialism, Islam is such a Religious-Socialism since its Khalifat is meant to be imposed worldwide, including its lifestyle, through forced conversion.
Islamophobia Expression intended to pinpoint that any criticism of Islam comes from a disturbed mind, a deranged person, stupid and cretinous; someone worthy of being treated for mental illness.

Jahannam Jahannam (Hell) was specifically created and prepared with eternal fire by Allah, so that he could torture disbelievers, most of whom are women.
Janazah Burial prayer. When a Muslim dies, other Muslims gather to offer a special prayer.
Jibreel According to Islamic scriptures, Jibreel (Gabriel) is the angel who first appeared to Muhammad in the cave of Hijra and taught him the Qur'an. According to the Qur'an, he was also sent by Allah to blow into Mary's vagina.
Jihad (Djihad: struggle) All military and non-military means, to be used for the expansion of the Islam. Each Muslim is obligated to the Jihad including deception.
Jizyah (Jizhya) The name for the head-tax under Islamic rule extorted to the dhimmies. This must be handed over in obsequious way (including impacts on the necks). Welfare benefits and cash allowances to Mohammedans are often regarded as the jizhya which has to be given to them. So are the billions given by America to the Palestinians, Egypt, Pakistan, etc. which basically only feed their hatred towards the West.
Jumma Friday. Every week on Friday Zuhr, the mid-day prayer, is substituted by a congressional prayer held in the mosque.

Ka'aba The holiest shrine in Islam and the first of many worship place to be converted by Muslims into a mosque. During Muhamad's time, Mecca was a center of idol-worship, with the Ka'aba housing 360 idols. Muhammad discarded the 360 idols but retained for Islam, the Ka’aba with its Black Stone, justifying it with the mythical claim that Abraham and Ishmael originally constructed it.
Kafir (plural Kuffar) All infidels, People of the Book (dhimmis), Mushrikun (idolators). Including extra-terrestrials from whatever outer planet (with the possible exception if from the moon). --And the Christians are Kuffars [infidels], and you may say to yourself, "No, no, no... they're innocent!" No kuffar is innocent Mujahedeen Shuna Council.
Khalifat (Caliphate) Only Islamic (Arabic) legitimized ruling form of government. Islam is basically looking out to establish the Khalifat worldwide and as such should be labelled: Islamo-fascism.
Khutbah A speech delivered by a Muslim cleric before Friday prayers.
Kitman Kitman is similar to Taqqiya but rather than outright dissimulation, it consists in telling only a part of the truth, with “mental reservation” justifying the omission of the rest. One example may suffice. When a Muslim maintains that “jihad” really means “a spiritual struggle” and fails to add that this definition is a recent one in Islam (little more than a century old), he misleads by holding back, and is practicing “kitman.” Another example would be the insistence of a Muslim apologist that, “of course”, there is freedom of conscience in Islam and then quoting that Qur’anic verse -“There shall be no compulsion in religion.” But the impression given will be false, for there has been no mention of the Muslim doctrine of abrogation, or naskh.

Logic Logical is everything which supports the position of Muslims and which weakens the position of the Kafirs. Thus there's the logic of the statement, the logic of denying, the logic of crying, the logic of the mocking and insult, the logic of the threat, and the logic of the measurers. As the highest form there is still the homicide argument.

Madrassa Islamic school or rather indoctrination asylum for the brainwashing of children, in whom the new generation of martyrs and Jihadist is recruited. Disce Primum Quod Credendum Est (Learn first what it is to be believed) would be the madrassa logo. It is considered as good work to be able to recite the Qur'an by heart in Arabic but understanding is not a requisite. --Education is the kindle of a flame, not the filling of a vessel. Socrates.
Maghrib Evening prayer, right after sunset.
Mahr (Dowry) The mahr is payment for the use of a woman's vagina for sexual intercourse.
Martyr A Muslim who dies while trying to kill non-Muslims.
Mischief As defined by Islamic scripture and understood by Muslims, a Mischief maker can be someone who simply refuses to accept Islam. Thus, they are liable for physical punishment and even death.
Moderate Muslim Also known as not-so-good Muslims, rejected and duly persecuted by truly devout Muslims. Yet, especially in the West, their mischief is tolerated for deceptive purpose, as a phase in the propagation of Islam.
Morality To beat your wife and kill infidels is highly moral in Islam but not to urinate holding your penis with the right hand nor to defecate while facing Mecca. To be friends with the disbelievers is highly immoral for Muslims, but not to terrorize or behead them for educational TV show.
Mosque Oversized buildings of splendour which are used, beside indoctrination and recruiting of Jihad fighters, for the trade of falsified passports and weapons. At times also for praying. Usually problem-free attached by various shops, mail box firms, Islamic associations and madrassas. Riots often start from there. Only terrorists go to mosque (Tatar's saying, although themselves nominally Muslims). See Ka'aba.
Muhammad (Muhammad, meaning The Praised One, formerly Kothan Halabi ibn Abdullah 570-632). To Muslims, he is the uswa hasana - the perfect model of conduct for all Muslims to follow. He is characterized in Islam's own texts as a murderer, child violator and a cheater by breach of contract. --Muhammad set the example and broke all rules. He reneged his treaties. He invaded caravans during the sacred months when fighting was taboo. He eliminated his critics by assassinating them. He raided villages without warning. He raped captured married women. He mutilated the corpses of his enemies "to delight the hearts of the believers". He beheaded his opponents to strike fear. You can't expect Muslims to observe rules that their prophet did not observe (Ali Sina). Notice how the very name of Muhammad, as The Praised One, is sacrilegious by allowing a partner to Allah.
Muhammad (mental health) In the Sirât Rasûl Allâh (Life of Muhammad translation by A. Guillaume) we learn that Muhammad himself was convinced he was possessed by evil and that, and to prevent becoming the village idiot, he wanted to throw himself down a mountain (p.106/153): Woe is me poet or possessed?. The Meccans also thought that Muhammad suffered from some mental illness or ghost-possession. They call him web of dreams, fanciful poet, enchanted: Qu.21.5 (-Chr.21-); 36.69 (-Chr.41-) or 52.30 (-Chr.76-). He never was confirmed in his prophethood but through a sensual 'test' arranged by his wife Khadija (to avoid a widow's burden) who concluded about the entity visiting his husband: O son of my uncle, rejoice and be of good heart, by God he is an angel and not a Satan. (106/153; 107/154; 111/155). In 1993, Dr Herman H. Somers (an authority in Psychology) published a well documented diagnosis over Muhammad: the self-called 'Prophet' suffered from classical Paranoid Delusions with recurring, pervasive, sensorial hallucinations (Een Andere Mohammed, A Different Mohammed; Hadewych, Antwerp 1993).
Multiculturalism As known to us, this is totally strange to the Arabic hegemonical imperialism known to us as Islam. However, they do fully exercise it with the God-willing duty to end it. So far, the West haven't seen the trick by which their tolerance is being infiltrated by Islamic duplicity.
Muslimah A Muslim woman; a possession of her husband for the purpose of bearing children. The whole body of a woman is considered a sexual shame (awrah) to be covered entirely. Her virginity at marriage is second to none in importance throughout all Islamic traditions. Quranic verses on their slavery status are abundant. Still they belong to hell for most of them: The fact that in Mohammedan law every woman must belong to some man as his absolute property - either as a child, a wife, or a concubine - must delay the final extinction of slavery until the faith of Islam has ceased to be a great power among men" Winston Churchill, The River War, original edition of 1899.
Mutah (Mut'ah) Religiously sanctioned prostitution. A temporary arrangement whereby a man and a woman enter into a contractual arrangement to marry each other for a specified period of time. The man gives the woman something of value, and in exchange he is allowed to enter into sexual relations with her, legally, without committing fornication, since they are "married." At the end of the period specified in the contract, usually a few days at most, each party walks separate ways and neither is indebted to the other. Endorsed by Muhammad at one time; see Sahih Bukhari 6:60:139 and Sahih Bukhari 7:62:52. Shi'ites still practice Mut'ah, Sunnis believe Muhammad abrogated Mut'ah Sahih Bukhari 5:59:527.

Najis Impure, filthy, utterly repulsive. Are such impurity in the opinion of Ayatollah Sistani: Urine, excrement, semen, corpses, blood, dogs, pigs, alcoholic beverages and all Kafirs (infidels). Women hardly escape being najis as their whole body is considered a shame.
Nikah Islamic marriage; enslavement of a woman to her male dominator/possessor. Early marriage also aims at reclusing women into their houses and families, preventing any personal aspiration. Arrangement between two Islamic families to the available acquisition of wives (up to four at the same time for each Muslim). Also Dhimmi women can be married, however no Muslimah can marry a Dhimmi. Pedophilic marriages are also permitted.
Niqab Veil that covers the face worn by some Muslimahs (some Islamic governments make it a requirement).

Offensive Most anything not conforming to Islamic (double) standards. Things like criticism (associated with blasphemy), freedom, democracy, are absolutely offensive to Muslims' sensibilities. Crucifixes, bikinis, shorts of all kinds, should be harshly punished but are 'tolerated' until rectification is made possible. In short, to be different creates oppression and is thus extremely offensive.
Oppression Term by which Muslims define anything set against the principles of Islam, like disbelief. --You become an oppressor the moment you say I don’t want to be a Muslim and thus subject to just punishment, death mainly (Ali Sina, Q. 9:29 -Chr.113-).

Palestinian Artificial people created by Arabic nations ever since 1948. There never has been, historically, a Palestinian nation and the land was utterly desolate. Parked in refugees camps mainly to constitute a 'terrorist army' made of 'cheap martyrs' as we would say of 'cheap laborers'. --Since 1948 Arab leaders have approached the Palestine problem in an irresponsible manner. They have used the Palestine people for selfish political purposes. This is ridiculous and, I could say, even criminal. King Hussein of Jordan, 1960.
Paranoia Islamic tradition, a legitimate, encouraged and legalized form of responding to offense. The 'Persecution Complex' is a symptom of paranoia in psychiatry, but also of pathological narcissism.
Peace Submission to Allah is the only peace recognized in Islam. Anything else is worthy of justified retaliation. --When Muslims say peace, they mean non-Muslims should be subdued and humiliated to the extent that they have no strength to rebel. Peace, according to Islam, is therefore achieved through subjugation (Ali Sina).
Piety A pious Muslim is one who follows Muhammad, he could be a terrorist, a child molester, a wife beater or a liar. As long as he lies to or kills non-believers, he is very pious (Ali Sina).
Political correctness First coined in communist Russia as an 'a priori' censorship of genuine diversity. Mandatory dishonesty hiding factual informations when contrary to the line hold by a party.
Purity Only Muslims are pure (pak), all infidels are najis (impure, filthy, utterly repulsive). Then again, Arabs are purer than any other Muslims and, among them, the Wahhabes are more pure than the other Arabs which they formally despise, and so on.

Qur'an (also Koran, Quran, Coran) Holy book of the Muslims revealed by Allah to Mohammed through Jibreel (Gabriel). For Muslims it was written in Heaven by none other than Allah (dictating a self writing pen) in perfect Arabic, from immemorial time. The Qur'an is a manual of proselyting Islam through all means, as the belief in Allah justifies them all.

Rajm According to Sharia (Islamic Law), stoning to death, or Rajm, is primarily a punishment for persons who engage in illegal sexual intercourse.
Responsibility It's always the responsibility of others: Allah for the good things and the unbelievers or Shaytan for the bad things happening. Anything to avoid having to say : I am responsible!
Revelation A message from God received by Muhammad, usually at the most convenient of times.
Rights In Islam only Allah has rights, humans and people don't. Period. Otherwise, concessions extorted from the kafirs/infidels until the jihad stage of infiltration (1), and that of holding social peace (2) as hostage (for more concessions), then that of creating more and more Islamic inlands (3), can become a full-sized jihad (4) overthrowing the infidel's governments by a sharia ruling one.

Sahih Arabic for authentic. It is used to describes a Hadith as being genuine and credibile.
Salah (Salat) Muslims’ prayer
Salb Crucifixion, typically refers to the inhumane and painful method of execution and/or torture by tying and/or nailing someone to a cross, stake or tree. It can also refer to the method of public display of a body after execution. It is still being used in some Islamic countries, as it is endorsed by the Qur'an.
Satanic Verses Verses that Muhammad proclaimed elevating Allah's three goddess-daughters as intercessors. These verses were later abrogated/removed/forgotten. (Also, the title of Salman Rushdie's work of fiction that earned him a fatwa calling for his assassination.)
Saum Fasting (Arabic: Saum Persian Rozah) A period of 30 days, in the month of Ramadan, of every year. Consumption of food or water, sexual relations with ones husband/wife is forbidden from sunrise till sunset.
Shahadah Islamic profession of faith, at times a question of life and death for all cursed infidels: "There is no god but the God, and Muhammad is the Messenger of the God."

-- Shahada means you must accept Islam or die. This, to Muslims, is proof. Muslims don’t think there is any need for logical argument as in their view the claim of Muhammad is self evident and those who do not see it are deaf, dumb and blind or arrogant (Ali Sina).

Sharia (or Shariah) Archaic religious judicial system, which regulates the entire social life of Muslims and non-Muslims under Islamic dominance. Believed by Muslims to be God-given, it is immutable. A country which isn't ruled by the Sharia is not considered pacified, as in the Islamic notion of peace. Bid'ah, Fard, Fiqh, Ahadith, Hudd and Tafsir are part of the jurisprudence.
Shaytan (also Shaitan, Iblis, Satan) Covers all facets of secular oppression: the USA, Israel, western values. Anything standing in the way of Islam is satanic and must be done with for Allah to prevail. See also Jinn.
Shirk Islamic mortal sin, death-worthy crime, consisting in ascribing any partner to Allah but even atheism is shirk. In the Islamic Shahadah, in Q.48.8-9 (-Chr.111-) and 61.1 (-Chr.109-), Muhammad ascribed himself as such a partner. His very name meaning The Praised One is shirk.
Slavery Supposedly abolished thanks to Islam...nevermind that Islamic countries were some of the last on the face of the planet to officially outlaw it. Islam institutionalizes slavery and declares it to be halal. Slaves can be used like indulgences--free a slave and it will atone for some heinous crime you may have committed.
Submission The proper meaning behind the word Islam. Submitting in Islam is simply everything: Disbelievers submitting to Muslims, the Muslimahs subjected to their man; Muslims submitting to Allah; Allah submitting to Mohammad's lust for women and power, himself completing this vicious circle by subjecting infidels. (Also, "Submission" is the name of Theo van Gogh's movie for which he was assassinated.)

Taqiyya (taqqiya) Dissimulation as sanctified hypocrisy. It is considered a part of Islamic strategy to lie and deceive unbelievers by any means. Thus exercising of taqqiyah is very pious behavior. Veiling the truth: Adjustment, deception up to the open lie. -Taqqiya is attached, if it is helpful to the well-being of the religion -Islam (Khomeini). Sunnis will deceptively say that is only a Shiites doctrine.
Taurat The Qur'an talks of the Taurat revealed to Musa (Moses), referring to the Torah - the first five books of the Jewish Bible; found in the Old Testament of the Christian Bible. Some Muslims and scholars believe it refers to the entire Old Testament, but this view is not widely held.
Terror For a Muslim, whatever leads to hell; whatever leads to Paradise, like killing critics, infidels and apostates aren't terror but the God-given duty of all practicing devout Muslims. The propensity to restrain full Islamic practice is very offensive to the sharp-as-a-sword Islamic sensibilities.
Theo van Gogh (1957-2004) His fate is that reserved to all critics of Islam in a perfected Islamic 'paradise'. In the trial, his killer said to Theo's mother:I don’t feel your pain, because I was driven by my religious conviction. If I were released and would have the chance to do it again…I would do exactly the same thing. I have to admit I don’t have sympathy for you. I can’t feel for you because I think you are a non-believer. This shows exactly the Islamic mindset: a total lack of empathy.
Tolerance Anything granted to the dhimmies under Islamic rule. For this tolerance, they do have to be duly humiliated by the Jizhya. The religion of Islam is one of tolerance, therefore, if he recants his Christian faith, he will not be executed Ansarullah Mawlazezadah, trial judge in the case of Abdul Rahman, an Afghani former medical aid worker and Christian convert from Islam.
Thought crime (crime without victim) The criminalization of people holding divergent opinions. In Islam, blasphemy or rejecting Allah and His Prophet is the equivalent of High Treason.

Umma (Ummah) The world-wide community of all Muslims, to be expanded unto the whole world. Nothing, no lives, outside of the Ummah is worthy of consideration, except for taqqiya purpose and Jizyah (tax) collection.
Unjust Whatever is un-Islamic. --The unjust person is he who refuses to proclaim: -There is no God worthy of worship except Allah Ikrimah Qatadah.
Useful idiot Said of people not conscious of being manipulated in order to agree with a political agenda. Those convinced by the media and other influences that Islam is indeed a 'religion of Peace'. Sometimes referred to as a Dhimwit (dïm-wît)
Uswa Hasana The "perfect human". In Islam, this honor is given to Muhammad -the perfect model of conduct for all Muslims to follow. This Islamic doctrine requires the Muslims of today to emulate Muhammad and his (7th century) actions as closely as they can, as a form of devotion to Allah. Many Muslims (for example; Osama Bin Laden) have been quite successful in doing so.
