The Real Men (Who Are Straight Up Killers) Watch returns with some adab-less, out-of-the-middle-way fantasies from Umar Lee, the person who coined the phrase:
I am calling your kafir yuppie ass to a fight with no rules and we can do this at any number of masjids. Of course my prefernce is to do this in yemen, somalia or pakistan where instead of fighting i could cut your neck with the sword of islam and watch you squeal like a bitch like daniel pearl.
I think I saw somewhere awhile ago on Umar’s blog that he had been invited to some non-Muslim school to speak about Islam. Recording this here to ensure that anybody who does a basic Google search on the guy will be able to quickly discover how deviant and abhorrent he really is…

‘Islamic’ rules of warfare on show in Afghanistan:
Afghan officials said on Monday that a rocket had hit a house in the city’s Spin Kalay neighbourhood on Monday morning, killing a father, mother and young girl as they slept.
…and in Somalia:
Islamic insurgents fired mortar shells Friday night toward Mogadishu’s port, but the explosives landed in residential areas, including a home for former army officers paralyzed or missing limbs from the country’s 1977 war with Ethiopia, according to a government spokesman, Sheik Abdirisaq Qeylow.

Brothers and sisters, we have been unfair. We’ve fallen into the trap of western cultural imperialism: judging Muslim history by standards we fail to apply to the history of Europe and America. If we look into our own western cultural heritage, we find plenty of examples of folk heroes who were straight-up killers. Shunning the company of women, they epitomized masculinity. They robbed caravans in order to give to the poor, they slaughtered the unjust. In the forests and fields, they trained for war together, forming a band of brothers dedicated to righteousness. They were, in every sense of the word, real men.

The interfaith effort to recover the essential whup-ass nature of God:
The Sunnah and history of Islam is rewritten and the likes of Khald Ibn Waleed (r.a.) are downplayed and the Prophet (s.a.s.) and the Sahabah are made to be non-violent hippies who sat around gawking at butterflies all day. Northing could be further from the truth. The Prophet {s.a.s.) was a warrior and many of the Sahabah that he loved were straight-up killers. Others were robbers (robbing the caravans of the kufar). Others took women and young girls as the booty of war. Islam spread through jihad and was sustained by the sword of very masculine men.
Mars Hill pastor Mark Driscoll:
What bothers Driscoll — and the growing number of evangelical pastors who agree with him — is not the trope of Jesus-as-lover. After all, St. Paul tells us that the Church is the bride of Christ. What really grates is the portrayal of Jesus as a wimp, or worse. Paintings depict a gentle man embracing children and cuddling lambs. Hymns celebrate his patience and tenderness. The mainstream church, Driscoll has written, has transformed Jesus into “a Richard Simmons, hippie, queer Christ,” a “neutered and limp-wristed popular Sky Fairy of pop culture that . . . would never talk about sin or send anyone to hell.”
