The United States of America is about to enter a war it does not either
A)understand; or
B) accept the scope of, or
C) both. Everyone is preaching tolerance while the real
evil goes unabated.
I don't advocate violence, but I don't tolerate it either! If I have to
fight, I fight, and I fight to win! I ask for no quarters and I give
none. Does that sound like Islam to you? Well that is their intent!
Only ONE side can win according to Islam. There can be only one
religion in the end according to Islam. The question is; which one?
(Not that you the reader might believe otherwise, by wishful thinking,
but rather, by what Islam teaches, what Muslims think, and most
importantly, how Muslims act concerning this.)
Now of course many of you will say, Hey - wait, there are many good
Muslims, and many will say, the majority are good peaceful Muslims. And
of course there have been many posts in the News Group stating things
both ways, specifically some Muslims trying to point out that Islam is
peaceful. In the rest of this article I will try to point out why this
NOT AT ALL correct!
Where To Start? What To Consider?
We start by considering history itself. Both the religion of Islam and
Western Society has its own versions of what it
considers the truth, of its' history as well as how it views the
others' history. Before we start we must consider which version we
wish to follow, or how much of each we wish to accept; And then we
must consider the consequences of any combination thereof. And from
a Western viewpoint we must also consider what we call revisionist
history. This is because revisionist history is based upon the theory
and philosophy that everything has an opposing viewpoint, and the
only opposing viewpoint to what has been written about Islam, from
a Western viewpoint, is something relating to or integrating some
Islamic viewpoints.
The combinations and conditions are as follows: Accept Islamic history,
you will disagree with this article. Accept revisionist history and you
will disagree with this article. Accept some of both standard Western
History and Islamic or revisionist history and you will not only
disagree with parts of this article, you will have shown you have no
basis for arbitrarily choosing either, but
ONLY what you want to believe. This would mean you most likely have
a lot of wishful thinking, hoping for the best without due
consideration to the reality of the facts as presented from the
accepted standards of past Western History. This would come from a good
dose
of the humanistic courses now taught at all school levels, including
college. (This has become increasingly worse over the last 30 years. )
Modern mind conditioning from too much television and mass media also
helps to drastically develop this mindset.
Finally note the problem of revisionist history itself; It becoming a
new standard of teaching during the last 30 years. This coming from the
new age philosophies of humanism, materialism and new age religions.
(including many versions of Christianity as well as the liberalization
of Catholicism. ) All of which requires the rewriting and
re-nterpretation of past history. OR you can accept the standards of
Western History from its' first recordings, of which I resend to you.
However if you do accept this, be warned, you may not like the
conclusions; but is it reality, is the question you must ask yourself?
We Start With the Initial Beginning of Islam:
Founded by a camel driver in the Arabian desert after he married the
woman who hired him. She was 15 years his senior.
After marriage he gave up his work and studied religion. In 622AD
he had to flee from Mecca to the city of Yathrib in the Arabian
Peninsula because of his teachings, of which he had denounced all other
forms of religion. This is known as the official year of the founding
of Islam. In Islam their calendar year begins here with 0 (zero)AH.
He became magistrate of the city and renamed it Medina, meaning "City
of the Prophet". He acquired 12 wives while there. He took in many
followers and combined the religion into the politics. When the Jews
rejected his calls to convert, he turned against the Jews in Medina and
elsewhere.
He plundered and looted all caravans passing anywhere within his reach.
With this loot, he and his followers built a large
treasury for the city, which was used to increase his army of
followers.
Of which he was able too ever increasingly gain more and more
territory. Eventually leading to war with the city of Mecca, which he
defeated, and then he easily took the rest of the Arabian Peninsula. He
was in constant warfare from the time he became magistrate of
Yathrib(Medina),
in 622AD, until his death in 632AD. In that time period of 12 years,
Mohammed had conquered the whole of the Arabian Peninsula.
In the next 12 years, under the next two caliph's or leaders of Islam,
the religion would go on to take Jerusalem, Syria, Egypt, Persia, and
Mesopotamia! ALL BY FORCE AND WARFARE! Let's see that's 24 years of
Islam and 24 years of warfare! This would put the year at 644AD or
24AH.
The next two caliph's continued the same ways as their predecessors.
They took the areas/regions of North Africa, parts of India, and Spain.
The caliph's line continues, and the wars continue unabated. If it had
not been for Charles Martel's victory in 732AD at the Battle of Tours;
France, Germany and the rest of Europe would have surely fallen. So we
have 110 years of Islam and we have 110 years of Islamic warfare
against the rest of the world. We have all the lands from Turkey to
India, to North Africa to Spain, all in the hands of Islam! Oh, don't
the Arabian Peninsula, Mid-east and
Persia! But finally Islam has been slowed down, but only temporarily.
Now instead of large areas conquered in the name of Islam, it is
smaller areas. Still Islam's drive for land and conquering people
does not stop. By mid 1050AD, a period of 318 years, Islam has gained
more ground, driving north towards Russia, northeast towards the
Caspian Sea and Kazakhstan, Central Asia, and northeast towards
the Balkans and Greece. Constantinople, a main center of Catholicism
was being threatened.
Something must be done to stop Islam again, or else
Constantinople
itself would fall, and then Greece!Roman Popish armies fought off
Islam armies alone until 1096AD, with armies of up to 50, 000 men
each, battling one Muslim front. Pope Urban II in 1096AD, because
of deteriorating conditions, and the threat to Constantinople, called
upon all of Christendom to contribute armies, men and material to once
and for all drive the Muslims back out of Asia Minor, and maybe back,
just past Palestine.
This was the first call of the "Crusades". A series of wars that would
last almost another 450 years, with only small lapses in time between
major wars, between another Holy Jihad and another Crusade! It would be
correct to state for all practical purposes, that the war was constant
until approximately 1550AD!
Now if you the reader will just take a minute and do some
simple math, it becomes more than clear that since the inception of
Islam in 622AD, that Islam has been a religion of constant and
consistent war! It has become the world's ultimate long distance war
machine, regardless to what ANY OTHER historian has to say, in my
opinion! Of the time period listed above, it is more than safe to say
that Islam had been at war for more than 600 of its' approx. 900 years
of existence. And even during that time of 300 years,
they were still fighting wars, only on a smaller and more defined
scale. Even as late as the mid 1500's, was only the last Muslim
strongholds defeated in Spain! That is how persistent the Muslims were!
Now, I am sure more than a few of you will disagree with parts of the
account I have given. That is human nature and I
understand that. But consider this, generally: We do know for a fact
that Islam started in the Arabian Peninsula after 620AD, and by 1000AD
it had spread to vast regions, from India to Spain, to North Africa,
to Turkey, and Central Asia. That is in a time period of less than 400
years. And we know more lands were conquered by Muslims after that.
Now after all this writing, the ONLY point I have been trying to make
is this: Islam has been a religion of constant and consistent warfare.
It is a war machine that never ever quits! Even in defeat in battle, it
is looking forward, for its' next Holy Jihad! It is efficient and it is
ruthless! It takes no prisoners! Either you convert to Islam or you are
killed!
Everywhere that Islam has maintained control of those
lands listed above, NO other religion is allowed to openly exist, IF AT
ALL! Near the end of my article I will list some websites for you to
go, and read for yourself, why this is so, according to the Koran,
Q'uran and other Islamic Books and writings. Plus I will shortly give
you some simple specific quotes and references to get you started.
To save time I will skip from the mid 1500's to the 20 and 21st
centuries, giving you the reader the benefit of the doubt, here, and
times involved. This because Islam's spread did slow down during this
time, to its slowest rate since its' inception. The Crusades had
managed to drain Islam of its ability to wage all out warfare.
After WWII Islam started making a comeback from its' low point since
its inception. Islam started to spread again, and
under many new guises and pretenses. I won't go into the details,
but we know that new forms of terrorism evolved with Islam. Islam
also began to spread in the name of peace for the first time. That
it was some kind of peaceful religion, and modern humanistic philosophy
was all the more willing to embrace it. (Plus the mystic effect was
of great benefit in fostering new interested and curious people,
who seen Islam as something unique and different during the early
1950's. )
Not that the Islamic teaching of peace was new, but rather
the way Islam applied this teaching to Western Society. Islam took
the approach of implying its' peaceful nature also included many
peoples. More specifically targeted at Christians and Catholics to
divert any negative rebuttals from hard line Christians and
Catholics. .
So actually we now have Islam spreading by the calling of peace as well
as by practicing terrorism, and by most of all, what is called the Holy
Jihad's. The rebirth of Israel helped foster this more than anything,
but it was only a catalyst to re-ignite the
age old calls for more Holy Jihads. This teaching had never died, nor
had there even been a redefinition of the term. It was just conditions
and timings had not previously permitted wide ranging calls for Holy
Jihads, nor was their any unifying rallying point. Israel solved all
this. It gave Islam a shot in the arm to reignite its' warring
traditions.
Islam has now spread to the Philippines, and it is now in the process
of cleansing the country of all other religions,
including Christianity and Catholicism. It has taken over the Southeast
Asian country of Indonesia, the world's third most populated country,
with a population of over 1 billion people. Several countries, south
bordering Russia, and in China Islam is now clashing with the
government as well as Buddhism. In Sudan, Africa, the country is a
staging point for attacks in all African countries below it, and oddly
this is occuring while Muslims are still in the process of eliminating
the rest of the Christians and other religions in Southern
Sudan.
In England today, there are more Islamic Mosques than
Christian or Catholic Churches. Today Islam has a following of anywhere
from 1 billion to 1.2 billion people, according to which ever report
one wishes to believe. Whatever the actual number, Islam is the world's
single biggest religion, all things considered.
The only point I wanted to make from all of the above is this: Islam
has not changed its doctrines concerning conquests of territories or
the annihilation of all other religions! Only the methods have been
improved!
The above is a very/extremely brief synopsis of Islamic history. But it
is factual. You can reprove and verify any of the above by reading most
any conventional Western History book. Now I
want you the reader to answer a few questions, to yourself:
- Concerning ALL you have read above; What do you think
is the current philosophy and doctrines of Islam?
- What does the past intent of Islam tell you about its'
current plans for the future?
- What direction is Islam headed, concerning its'
ambitions and goals?
- What would the religion attempt to do to achieve those
goals;
Whatever you the reader may think those goals are; Does
Islam look to be the peaceful religion it claims to you to be? Should
ANYTHING be done in regards to Islam, in regards to your conclusions?
With that out of the way, phew; Tough calls isn't it? Maybe not?
Just What Does Islam Stand For, and Want?
Major problems with Western Society today concerning Islam, are: Do not
we as a civilized and so called free society, owe Muslims the right to
practice their religion in our country? Aren't we supposed to grant
freedoms to ALL? Does not Western Society see Islam as a peaceful
religion, and it having peaceful people? Does not Islam teach peace? Or
does Islam teach war? What about gods; Does Islam worship the same god
as Christianity and Catholicism? And what is the difference
between moderate, fundlementalist and radical Muslims? I hate to say
it, but even the above average American has not the foggiest idea!
Maybe I should say understandings.
Consider these things in regards to the above: Muslims from Islamic
countries are free to enjoy the freedoms of Western Society; But what
freedoms would we enjoy in an Islamic Society? Should any religion be
tolerated or allowed that promotes violence? (What I mean here, is that
the whole Islamic religion actually teaches violence towards any other
culture or religion, except its' own! It is INTOLERANT of anything but
itself, and it even fights among itself to maintain as radical a
philosophy as possible! I can say this because Islam's philosophy
teaches it, and its' past history
proves it! ) How can ANY religion be proclaimed peaceful, when it is
constantly at war, and constantly calling for Holy Jihads? (Does not
Islam's past history prove this also? And does not Islam teach this
also?) The clerics of Islam loves to state how Christians, Catholics,
and Jews ALL share the same the god. Now you tell me; Since Islam
rejects Jesus Christ as being God; How is their god, my
GOD? (But they do claim that Christ is a prophet and is coming to
earth again. Makes their sham sound better. Muslims also get around
Koran contradictions by simply stating that the Holy Bible we know has
been corrupted.)
About the different sects and lines of Islam: Considering the fact that
even the most moderate of Islamic sects is very radical to Western
thoughts, ideals and philosophy; What would that make fundlementalist
and radical Muslim sects to us? (Meaning, all of Islam is radical by
Western standards, all standards! And calling a Muslim radical is
really only a worse degree of a moderate Mulsim! Again the philosphy,
doctrines, history and people of Islam itself proves this. It is like
calling the kettle black, but stating the kettle as being black, or
very black,
or super black or dark black.)
Below are excerpts from the Koran, the Islamic Holy Book, and quotes
from Islamic leaders. I have verified the quotes as authentic. They do
exist. As for the context of the writtings out of the Muslim Holy Book;
I'll let you judge for yourself, but I find it close enough to be
accurate on all accounts. But then again, so do the Muslims if it suits
their purposes.

Quran: (Muslim Holy Book with Koran)
[4.56] (As for) those who disbelieve in Our communications, We shall
make them enter fire; so oft as their skins are thoroughly burned, We
will change them for other skins, that they may taste the chastisement;
surely Allah is Mighty, Wise."
[22:19-22] But as for those who disbelieve, garments of fire will be
cut out for them, boiling fluid will be poured down their
heads. Whereby that which is in their bellies, and their skins too,
will be melted; And for them are hooked rods of iron. Whenever, in
their anguish, they would go forth from thence they are driven back
therein and (it is said unto them): Taste the doom of burning.
[8.12] When your Lord revealed to the angels: I am with you, therefore
make firm those who believe. I will cast terror into the hearts of
those who disbelieve. Therefore strike off their heads
and strike off every fingertip of them.
"Have no mercy on the Jews, no matter where they are,
in any country. Wherever you meet them, . Wherever you are, Americans
who are like them."
- Dr. Ahmad Abu Halabiya, member of the Palestinian Fatwa Council
"Kill a settler every day.... Shoot at settlers everywhere.... Woe to
you if you let them reach their homes safely or travel safely on the
roads.... I want you to kill as many settlers as possible.... Do
not pay attention to what I say to the media, the television or public
appearances. Pay attention only to the written instructions that
you receive from me."
- Yasser Arafat, addressing his people at a public event, July 2001
"I am ready to kill for the sake of my cause; wouldn't I lie for it?"

Quran:
[58:5] Those who resist Allah and His Messenger will be crumbled to
dust, as were those before them: for we have already sent down Clear
Signs and the Unbelievers will have a humiliating Penalty
Sahih Muslim Book 019, Number 4366: It has been na by 'Umar b.
al-Khattib that he heard the Messenger of Allah (may peace be upon him)
say: I will expel the Jews and Christians from the
Arabian Peninsula and will not leave any but Muslim.
Sahih Muslim The Book of Faith (Kitab Al-Iman) Book 001, Number 0033:
It has been on the authority of Abdullah b. 'Umar that the
Messenger of Allah said: I have been commanded to fight against
people till they testify that there is no god but Allah, that Muhammad
is the messenger of Allah, and they establish prayer, and pay Zakat
and if they do it, their blood and property are guaranteed protection
on my behalf except when justified by law, and their affairs rest
with Allah.
[9.29] Fight those who do not believe in Allah, nor in the latter day,
nor do they prohibit what Allah and His Apostle have prohibited, nor
follow the religion of truth, out of those who have
been given the Book, until they pay the tax in acknowledgment of
superiority and they are in a state of subjection.
[9.123] O you who believe! fight those of the unbelievers who are near
to you and let them find in you hardness; and know that Allah is with
those who guard (against evil).
[4.74] Therefore let those fight in the way of Allah, who sell this
world's life for the hereafter; and whoever fights in the way of Allah,
then be he slain or be he victorious, We shall grant him a mighty
reward.
[9:5] But when the forbidden months are past, then fight and slay the
Pagans wherever ye find them, and seize them, beleaguer them, and lie
in wait for them in every stratagem
Quran: [5.51] O you who believe! do not take the Jews and the
Christians for friends; they are friends of each other; and whoever
amongst you takes them for a friend, then surely he is one of them;
surely Allah does not guide the unjust people.
Terrorism is a logical outcome of putting the Qur'an into practice.
The Qur'an promotes permanent struggle against non-Muslims - or at
least until non-Muslims are converted to Islam, subjected to Islamic
authority, or killed. Below is a listing of relevant verses in the
Qur'an.
(Q. 2:191) Quran tells Muslims to kill the
disbelievers wherever they find them.
(Q. 9:123),to murder them and treat them harshly
(Q.9: 5), slay them
(Q. 8: 65 )fight with them, even if they are Christians and
Jews,
(Q. 9: 29) humiliate them and impose on them a penalty tax.
(Q. 2: 193) It orders its followers to fight the unbelievers
until no other religion
except Islam is left .
(Q. 14: 17) It says that the non-believers will go to
hell and will drink boiling water.
(Q.5: 34) It asks the Muslims to slay or
crucify or cut the hands and feet of the
unbelievers, that they be expelled from the land with disgrace and that
they
shall have a great punishment in world hereafter.
(Q. 22: 9) As for the disbelievers, it says
that for them garments of fire shall be cut
and there shall be poured over their heads boiling water whereby
whatever is
in their bowels and skin shall be dissolved and they will be punished
with
hooked iron rods .
(Q.3: 85) Quran takes away the freedom of
belief from all humanity and tells clearly
that no other religion except Islam is accepted .
(Q. 5:11) It relegates those who disbelieve
in Quran to hell ,
(Q. 9: 28)calls them najis (filthy, untouchable, impure) .
(Q. 9: 23), (Q. 3:28) Quran prohibits a Muslim
to befriend a non-believer even if that
non-believer is the father or the brother of that Muslim .
(Q. 25: 52) Quran asks the Muslims to strive
against the unbelievers with great endeavor
(Q. 66: 9)be stern with them because they
belong to hell .
(Q. 47: 4) The holy Prophet demanded his
follower to strike off the heads of the
disbelievers then after making a wide slaughter among them, carefully
tie up
the remaining captives .
(Q.4:34) As for women the book of Allah says
that they are inferior to men and their
husbands have the right to scourge them if they are found disobedient .
(Q. 66:10) It teaches that women will go to
hell if they are disobedient to their
husbands .
(Q. 2:228) It maintains that men have an
advantage over the women .
(Q.4:11-12) It not only denies the women's
equal right to their inheritance ,
(Q. 2:282)it also regards them as imbeciles and
decrees that their witness
is not admissible in the court .
(Q. 4:3) This means that a woman who is raped
cannot accuse her rapist unless she can produce a male witness.
Muhammad allowed the Muslims to marry up to four wives and gave them
license to sleep with their slave maids and as many captive women as
they may have.
He himself did just that. This is why anytime a Muslim
army subdues another nation, they call them kafir and allow themselves
to rape their women.
Pakistani soldiers raped up to 250,000 Bangali women in 1971 after they
massacred 3,000,000 unarmed civilians when their religious leader
decreed that Bangladeshis are unislamic. This is why the prison guards
in Islamic regime of Iran rape the women and then after calling them
apostates and the enemies of Allah.
Islam promises hell to non-Muslims 3:85, 4:56, 5:37, 5:72, 8:55,
9:28,15:2, 21:98-100, 22:19-22, 22:56-57, 25:17-19, 25:55, 29:53-55
31:13, 6:9, 68:10-13, 72:14- 15,
Islam warms against mixing with non-Muslims 2:21, 3:28, 3:118, 5:51,
5:144, 9:7, 9:28, 58:23, 60:4.
Islam calls on Muslims to wage war against non-Muslims 2:191,
2:193,4:66, 4:84, 5:33, 8:12, 8:15-18, 8:39, 8:59-60,8:65, 9:2-3, 9:5,
9:14,9:29, 9:39, 9:73, 9:111, 9:123, 25:52, 37:22-23, 47:4-5,
48:29,69:30-37.
Islam encourages the war against the non-Muslims by glorifying it
2:216, 9:41, 49:15, or by promising lust in paradise to the Shaheeds
who die in such a war 3:142, 3:157-158, 9:20--21.
One of the most important theme in the Qur'an, perhaps an indication of
the preoccupation in Muhammad's mind is that of imagery of hell and the
punishment for the unbelievers.
This is indicated by the huge number of Qur'anic references:
