**** ISLAM **** FRIEND OR FOE ?
THE NATURE OF ISLAM – FRIEND OR FOE ? (CONTINUED)
Since the 11th. Of September, 2001, considerable confusion has arisen in the minds of those who once thought that Islam is a “Religion of Peace”. Nothing could be further from the truth. There are those who, wanting to give Islam the benefit of the doubt, try to explain-away some of the violent passages in the “Holy” Qur’an by stating that there is a “spiritual interpretation”, implying that “Jihad” is not a physical struggle with opponents of the Faith, using weapons such as swords, guns and bombs, but a moral and spiritual “Striving” to achieve the Will of Allah” on Earth, which is imagined to be “Peaceful”. In actual fact, “Jihad” can have a non-violent component, but, once that is exhausted in endeavoring to convert the unbeliever to the god Allah, “Jihad” can take on a violent and bloody connotation.
Make no mistake about it; Islam was born in violence and aggression, dating back to the time of a great battle around AD 631 when Mohammed of Medina (Arabia) led his followers to attack the near-by city of Mecca. Mohammed claimed that he was inspired by the god Allah to write down “Holy” messages from Heaven, dictated by the Angel Gabriel ! These instructions comprise 114 chapters (suras) which lay down for the Muslim even the most minute details of personal living an behavior – even how to “clean out one’s ears” !!
If the Qur’an was simply a matter of personal hygiene, there could be no objections but this “holy” scripture is a blood-thirsty treatise on how to behave in battle and how to treat one’s enemy. Sura 47, (Titled “Mohammed”) for example, states ; - “When you encounter those who disbelieve (in Allah), strike off their heads till you have made a great slaughter among them…” Sura 4 (Titled “Women”) along with many other chauvinistic passages, is responsible for much of the violence against women in Islam. It states :- “Men are superior to women on account of the qualities with which God has gifted one above the other…” The Taliban have made capital out of such diabolically chauvinistic passages, some of which go so far as to permit a husband to beat his wife if he thinks she is in need of “discipline” but the “merciful” god Allah, insists that the male should not break any of her bones !!! It is so easy for us to be brain-washed by those who claim Islam is a “Peaceful Religion”. Even many moderate, non-fundamentalist Muslims, who do not know Arabic, cannot believe that their “sacred” scriptures are so violent to the point of breeding Terrorism. Islam, being a “Theocracy”, is against any form of “democracy” so cannot adapt well to our Western Free Society. If we encourage Islam to take root in our modern, civilized communities, sooner or later there will be a clash because Islam cannot tolerate any thought which is at variance with what is written in the Qur’an. . Islam is dedicated to “World Domination” and must eradicate every trace of influence spread by “Unbelievers and Infidels”. This can mean physically liquidating them (”JIHAD” in its violent form) if they do not willingly convert to Islam. As I type this, on the island of Borneo, in Indonesia, about 50,000 non-Muslims are surrounded by “Jihad” warriors, who are determined to Islamize the area in the name of the god, Allah. In the last two years, about 10,000 Christians have been killed by these religious fanatics who also, have forcibly converted about 8000 Christians to Islam. It appears that a blood-bath is imminent. In Islamic countries, one can receive a death sentence for converting any Muslim to the Christian Faith. If a Muslim renounces his / her faith, the sentence, according to the “holy” Qur’an is DEATH. So much for Islam being a “Religion of Peace” !!
