Qur'an 33.21

YUSUFALI: Ye have indeed in the Messenger of Allah a beautiful pattern (of conduct) for any one whose hope is in Allah and the Final Day, and who engages much in the Praise of Allah.

PICKTHAL: Verily in the messenger of Allah ye have a good example for him who looketh unto Allah and the Last Day, and remembereth Allah much.

SHAKIR: Certainly you have in the Messenger of Allah an excellent exemplar for him who hopes in Allah and the latter day and remembers Allah much.

A good example of conduct

Qur'an 68:4

YUSUFALI: And thou (standest) on an exalted standard of character.

PICKTHAL: And lo! thou art of a tremendous nature.

SHAKIR: And most surely you conform (yourself) to sublime morality.

‘And indeed, you are of a great moral character.’ (Saheeh International –Jeddah)

Follow Mohammed

Qur'an 8.20

O you who believe: obey Allah and his messenger and turn not away from him

Obey Mohammed

Qur'an 59:7

"And whatever the Messenger gives you, take it, and whatever he forbids you, leave it. And fear Allah: truly Allah is severe in punishment. "

…Obey Allah and his messenger…

Qur'an: 002.285; 003.032; 003.132; 004.013; 004.059; 004.069; 005.092; 008.001; 008.020; 008.024; 008.046; 009.071; 024.047; 024.051; 024.052; 024.054; 033.033; 047.033; 049.007; 049.014; 058.013; 064.012

At least 22 versus in the Qur'an contain this formula; there are many other versus with the same meaning but different formula e.g. 59:7

You could add - Sura3 (Ali-Imran) v31 'Say (O Muhammad to mankind): If ye love Allah, follow me; Allah will love you and forgive you your sins, Allah is Forgiving, Merciful' (Pickthall).

Here Muhammad is taking upon himself the role of Christ and offering his pattern of conduct as a means to salvation.

yes, the implication here is that the only way through to Allah is through Mohammed.

Muslim Terrorism Count

Thousands of Deadly Islamic Terror Attacks Since 9/11

Mission Overview

Most Western societies are based on Secular Democracy, which itself is based on the concept that the open marketplace of ideas leads to the optimum government. Whilst that model has been very successful, it has defects. The 4 Freedoms address 4 of the principal vulnerabilities, and gives corrections to them. 

At the moment, one of the main actors exploiting these defects, is Islam, so this site pays particular attention to that threat.

Islam, operating at the micro and macro levels, is unstoppable by individuals, hence: "It takes a nation to protect the nation". There is not enough time to fight all its attacks, nor to read them nor even to record them. So the members of 4F try to curate a representative subset of these events.

We need to capture this information before it is removed.  The site already contains sufficient information to cover most issues, but our members add further updates when possible.

We hope that free nations will wake up to stop the threat, and force the separation of (Islamic) Church and State. This will also allow moderate Muslims to escape from their totalitarian political system.

The 4 Freedoms

These 4 freedoms are designed to close 4 vulnerabilities in Secular Democracy, by making them SP or Self-Protecting (see Hobbes's first law of nature). But Democracy also requires - in addition to the standard divisions of Executive, Legislature & Judiciary - a fourth body, Protector of the Open Society (POS), to monitor all its vulnerabilities (see also Popper). 
1. SP Freedom of Speech
Any speech is allowed - except that advocating the end of these freedoms
2. SP Freedom of Election
Any party is allowed - except one advocating the end of these freedoms
3. SP Freedom from Voter Importation
Immigration is allowed - except where that changes the political demography (this is electoral fraud)
4. SP Freedom from Debt
The Central Bank is allowed to create debt - except where that debt burden can pass across a generation (25 years).

An additional Freedom from Religion is deducible if the law is applied equally to everyone:

  • Religious and cultural activities are exempt from legal oversight except where they intrude into the public sphere (Res Publica)"
