WHY DON'T WE NEED A MUSLIM FOR PRESIDENT?

WHY DON'T WE NEED A MUSLIM FOR PRESIDENT?

The Muslim religion is intolerant of any other religion or people. They are actively waging a public relations war as well as their holy war or Ghihad. The bad thing is that the American media is helping to perpetrate the lies. It is crap that they are tolerant and that it is only extremists who are anti American, anti-Jewish, and anti-Christian. If they believe differently, then they don't believe their own Koran.  If Obama is one of the people who claims to be Muslim, yet says he is tolerant, then he basically does not adhere to his own faith and that is more dishonorable than if he came right out and stated his views as being anti-Christian and Jew. Below you will find direct quotes from the Koran. I ask you to read them and then see if you belive the Koran is a tolerant Bible.

Now I have heard some people say that they are no different from the Medieval Christians who persecuted anyone who did not conform. In fact, when JFK ran for president, many people were afraid he would impose the Catholic faith on America.

Well the point here is, the Catholics in the Middle Ages interpreted the Bible as they saw fit and did not have direct quotes of the New Testament ordering them to murder and kill and torture. The Kuran, on the other hand is very specific about an obligation to kill.

The Catholic church  eventually stopped killing and the current clergy are not advocating holy war or crusade if you will. They do not believe they are obligated, if elected to public office to wipe out non Catholics.

Either Obama is Muslim or he's not.  The Koran does not have a middle ground.



"Believers! wage war against such of the infidels as are your neighbors, and let them find you rigorous; and know God is with those who fear him." Koran, Surah 9:120.

"Fight then against them till strife be at an end, and the religion be all of it God's." No other religion but Islam! Koran, Surah 8:10.

" Mohammed is the Apostle of God, and his comrades (Muslims) are vehement against the infidels but are full of tenderness for themselves." Koran, Surah 48:20
THE KORAN ON JEWS

 "3.112" : Abasement is made to cleave to them (the Jews) wherever they are
found, except under a covenant with Allah and a covenant with men, and they
have become deserving of wrath from Allah, and humiliation is made to cleave
to them; this is because they disbelieved in the communications of Allah and
slew the prophets unjustly; this is because they disobeyed and exceeded the
limits.

"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.

"5.82" : Certainly you will find the most violent of people in enmity for
those who believe (to be) the Jews and those who are ΠpolytheistsΠ, and
you will certainly find the nearest in friendship to those who believe (to
be) those who say: We are Christians; this is because there are priests and
monks among them and because they do not behave proudly.

 "9.30" : And the Jews say: Œ UzairŒ  is the son of Allah; and the
Christians say: The Messiah is the son of Allah; these are the words of
their mouths; they imitate the saying of those who disbelieved before; may
Allah destroy them; how they are turned away! From the ΠHadithΠ, a body of
traditions relating to Mohammed and now supplemental to the Koran: He (Abu Œ
HurayahΠ) reported the messenger of Allah as saying: The last hour will not
come before the Muslims fight the Jews and the Muslims kill them, so that
Jews will hide behind stones and trees and the Stone and the tree will say,
O Muslim, O servant of God! There is a Jew behind me; come and kill him.
The only exception will be the box-thorn for it is one of the trees of the
Jews. SahihŒ  of Muslim , quoted by Israel and the Prophecies of Al Œ QuranŒ
by Ali Akbar, Œ BismiŒ  Publishers 1992, p.44) (Palestinian Media Watch in
Israel  reported in July 2001 that  at least four times in recent months
Palestinian religious leaders had taught publicly that this Œ HadithŒ
(Islamic traditions attributed to Mohammed) is an authoritative directive of
Islam today, expressing Allah¹s will that obedient Muslims kill Jews). (In
the terminology of Islam, unbelievers  are Jews and Christians)


CRASH COURSE ON the ARAB ISRAELI CONFLICT

HERE'S THE BRIEF FACTS ON THE ISRAELI CONFLICT TODAY....
It makes sense and it's not slanted. Jew and non-Jew it doesn't matter.

1. Nationhood and Jerusalem. Israel became a nation in 1312 B.C.E., two
thousand years before the rise of Islam.

2. Arab refugees in Israel began identifying themselves as part of a
Palestinian people in 1967, two decades after the establishment of the
modern State of Israel.

3. Since the Jewish conquest in 1272 B.C.E. the Jews have had dominion
over the land for one thousand years with a continuous presence in the land
for the past 3,300 years.

4. The only Arab dominion since the conquest in 635 C.E. lasted no more
than 22 years.

5. For over 3,300 years, Jerusalem has been the Jewish capital.

Jerusalem has never been the capital of any Arab or Muslim entity Even when
the Jordanians occupied Jerusalem, they never sought to make it their
capital, and Arab leaders did not come to visit.

6. Jerusalem is mentioned over 700 times in Tanach, the Jewish Holy

Scriptures. Jerusalem is not mentioned once in the Koran.

7. King David founded the city of Jerusalem. Mohammed never came to
Jerusalem.

8. Jews pray facing Jerusalem. Muslims pray with their backs toward
Jerusalem.

9. Arab and Jewish Refugees: In 1948 the Arab refugees were encouraged
to leave Israel by Arab leaders promising to purge the land of Jews.
Sixty-eight percent left without ever seeing an Israeli soldier.


10. The Jewish refugees were forced to flee from Arab lands due to Arab
brutality, persecution and pogroms.

11. The number of Arab refugees who left Israel in 1948 is estimated to be
around 630,000. The number of Jewish refugees from Arab lands is estimated
to be the same.

12. Arab refugees were INTENTIONALLY not absorbed or integrated into the
Arab lands to which they fled, despite the vast Arab territory. Out of the
100,000,000 refugees since World War II, theirs is the only refugee group in
the world that has never been absorbed or integrated into their own peoples'
lands. Jewish refugees were completely absorbed into Israel, a country no
larger than the state of New Jersey.

13. The Arab - Israeli Conflict: The Arabs are represented by eight separate
nations, not including the Palestinians. There is only one Jewish nation.
The Arab nations initiated all five wars and lost. Israel defended itself
each time and won.

14. The P.L.O.'s Charter still calls for the destruction of the State of
Israel. Israel has given the Palestinians most of the West Bank land,
autonomy under the Palestinian Authority, and has supplied them with
weapons.

15. Under Jordanian rule, Jewish holy sites were desecrated and the Jews
were denied access to places of worship. Under Israeli rule, all Muslim and
Christian sites have been preserved and made accessible to people of all
faiths.

16. The U.N. Record on Israel and the Arabs: of the 175 Security Council
resolutions passed before 1990, 97 were directed against Israel.

17. Of the 690 General Assembly resolutions voted on before 1990, 429
 
18. The U. N was silent while 58 Jerusalem Synagogues were destroyed by
the Jordanians.

19. The U.N. was silent while the Jordanians systematically desecrated
the ancient Jewish cemetery on the Mount of Olives

20. The U.N. was silent while the Jordanians enforced an apartheid-like
policy of preventing Jews from visiting the Temple Mount and the Western
Wall.


THE KORAN ON JEWS

 "3.112" : Abasement is made to cleave to them (the Jews) wherever they are
found, except under a covenant with Allah and a covenant with men, and they
have become deserving of wrath from Allah, and humiliation is made to cleave
to them; this is because they disbelieved in the communications of Allah and
slew the prophets unjustly; this is because they disobeyed and exceeded the
limits.

"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.

"5.82" : Certainly you will find the most violent of people in enmity for

you will certainly find the nearest in friendship to those who believe (to
be) those who say: We are Christians; this is because there are priests and
monks among them and because they do not behave proudly.

 "9.30" : And the Jews say: Œ UzairŒ  is the son of Allah; and the
Christians say: The Messiah is the son of Allah; these are the words of
their mouths; they imitate the saying of those who disbelieved before; may
Allah destroy them; how they are turned away! From the ΠHadithΠ, a body of

Islam today, expressing Allah¹s will that obedient Muslims kill Jews). (In
the terminology of Islam, unbelievers  are Jews and Christians)


THE KORAN ON CHRISTIANS

"4.156-158" : And for their unbelief and for their having uttered against Œ
MariumŒ  a grievous calumny. And their saying: Surely we have killed the
Messiah, Isa son of ΠMariumΠ, the apostle of Allah; and they did not kill
him nor did they crucify him, but it appeared to them so (like Isa) and most
surely those who differ therein are only in a doubt about it; they have no
knowledge respecting it, but only follow a conjecture, and they killed him
not for sure. Nay! +Z&- Allah took him up to Himself; and Allah is Mighty,
Wise.

4.171" : O followers of the Book! do not exceed the limits in your religion,
and do not speak (lies) against Allah, but (speak) the truth; the Messiah,
Isa son of Œ MariumŒ  is only an apostle of Allah and His Word which He
communicated to Œ MariumŒ  and a spirit from Him; believe therefore in Allah
and His apostles, and say not, Three. Desist, it is better for you; Allah is
only one God; far be It from His glory that He should have a son, whatever
is in the heavens and whatever is in the earth is His, and Allah is
sufficient for a Protector.

 "5.14" : And with those who say, We are Christians, We made a covenant, but
they neglected a portion of what they were reminded of, therefore We excited
among them enmity and hatred to the day of resurrection; and Allah will
inform them of what they did.

"5.18" : And the Jews and the Christians say: We are the sons of Allah and
His beloved ones. Say: Why does He then chastise you for your faults? Nay,
you are mortals from among those whom He has created, He forgives whom He
pleases and chastises whom He pleases; and Allah's is the kingdom of the
heavens and the earth and what is between them, and to Him is the eventual
coming.

 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.

"5.69" : Surely those who believe and those who are Jews and the Œ SabiansŒ
and the Christians whoever believes in Allah and the last day and does good
they shall have no fear nor shall they grieve.

"5.72" : Certainly they disbelieve who say: Surely Allah, He is the Messiah,
son of ΠMariumΠand the Messiah said: O Children of Israel! serve Allah, my
Lord and your Lord. Surely whoever associates (others) with Allah, then
Allah has forbidden to him the garden, and his abode is the fire; and there
shall be no helpers for the unjust.

"5.73" : Certainly they disbelieve who say: Surely Allah is the third
(person) of the three; and there is no god but the one God, and if they
desist not from what they say, a painful chastisement shall befall those
among them who disbelieve.

"5.82" : Certainly you will find the most violent of people in enmity for
those who believe (to be) the Jews and those who are ΠpolytheistsΠ, and
you will certainly find the nearest in friendship to those who believe (to
be) those who say: We are Christians; this is because there are priests and
monks among them and because they do not behave proudly.

 "9.30" : And the Jews say: Œ UzairŒ  is the son of Allah; and the
Christians say: The Messiah is the son of Allah; these are the words of
their mouths; they imitate the saying of those who disbelieved before; may
Allah destroy them; how they are turned away!

"17.111" : And say: (All) praise is due to Allah, Who has not taken a son
and Who has not a partner in the kingdom, and Who has not a helper to save
Him from disgrace; and proclaim His greatness magnifying (Him).

18.1-5" : (All) praise is due to Allah, Who revealed the Book to His servant
and did not make in it any crookedness. Rightly directing, that he might
give warning of severe punishment from Him and give good news to the
believers who do good that they shall have a goodly reward, Staying in it
for ever; And warn those who say: Allah has taken a son. They have no
knowledge of it, nor had their fathers; a grievous word it is that comes out
of their mouths;they speak nothing but a lie. .C*1

"19.88-92" : And they say: The Beneficent God has taken (to Himself) a son.
Certainly you have made an abominable assertion. The heavens may almost be
rent thereat, and the earth cleave asunder, and the mountains fall down in
pieces, that they ascribe a son to the Beneficent God. And it is not worthy
of the Beneficent God that He should take (to Himself) a son.


THE KORAN ON JIHAD

"5.33" : The punishment of those who wage war against Allah and His apostle
and strive to make mischief in the land is only this, that they should be
murdered or crucified or their hands and their feet should be cut off on
opposite sides or they should be imprisoned; this shall be as a disgrace for
them in this world, and in the hereafter they shall have a grievous
chastisement,

"8.38" : Say to those who disbelieve, if they desist, that which is past
shall be forgiven to them; and if they return, then what happened to the
ancients has already passed.

"8.39" : And fight with them until there is no more persecution and religion
should be only for Allah; but if they desist, then surely Allah sees what
they do.

"9.5" : So when the sacred months have passed away, then slay the idolaters
wherever you find them, and take them captives and besiege them and lie in
wait for them in every ambush,then if they repent and keep up prayer and pay
the poor-rate, leave their way free to them;surely Allah is Forgiving,
Merciful.

"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.

"9.30" : And the Jews say: Œ UzairŒ  is the son of Allah; and the Christians
say: The Messiah is the son of Allah; these are the words of their mouths;
they imitate the saying of those who disbelieved before; may Allah destroy
them; how they are turned away!

"9.36" : Surely the number of months with Allah is twelve months in Allah's
ordinance since the day when He created the heavens and the earth, of these
four being sacred; that is the right reckoning; therefore be not unjust to
yourselves regarding them, and fight the polytheistsŒ  all together as they
fight you all together; and know that Allah is with those who guard (against
evil).

"9.73" : O Prophet! strive hard against the unbelievers and the hypocrites
and be unyielding to them; and their abode is hell, and evil is the
destination.

 "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).

Koran misc. quotes re: Violence/killing, Israel, Jesus/prophet, Keeping/breaking promises, etc

The Women section:
[4.34] and (as to) those on whose part you fear desertion, admonish them, and leave them alone in the sleeping-places and beat them; then if they obey you, do not seek a way against them; surely Allah is High, Great.

[4.88] What is the matter with you, then, that you have become two parties about the hypocrites, while Allah has made them return (to unbelief) for what they have earned? Do you wish to guide him whom Allah has caused to err? And whomsoever Allah causes to err, you shall by no means find a way for him. [4.89] They desire that you should disbelieve as they have disbelieved, so that you might be (all) alike; therefore take not from among them friends until they fly (their homes) in Allah's way; but if they turn back, then seize them and kill them wherever you find them, and take not from among them a friend or a helper.

[4.91] You will find others who desire that they should be safe from you and secure from their own people; as often as they are sent back to the mischief they get thrown into it headlong; therefore if they do not withdraw from you, and (do not) offer you peace and restrain their hands, then seize them and kill them wherever you find them; and against these We have given.you a clear authority.

[4.101] And when you journey in the earth, there is no blame on you if you shorten the prayer, if you fear that those who disbelieve will cause you distress, surely the unbelievers are your open enemy. surely Allah has prepared a disgraceful chastisement for the unbelievers. [4.103] Then when you have finished the prayer, remember Allah standing and sitting and reclining; but when you are secure (from danger) keep up prayer; surely prayer is a timed ordinance for the believers. [4.104] And be not weak hearted in pursuit of the enemy; if you suffer pain, then surely they (too) suffer pain as you suffer pain, and you hope from Allah what they do not hope; and Allah is Knowing, Wise.

The Dinner Table section:
[5.17] Certainly they disbelieve who say: Surely, Allah-- He is the Messiah, son of Marium. Say: Who then could control anything as against Allah when He wished to destroy the Messiah son of Marium and his mother and all those on the earth?

[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.

The Accessions:
[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. [8.13] This is because they acted adversely to Allah and His Apostle; and whoever acts adversely to Allah and His Apostle-- then surely Allah is severe in requiting (evil). [8.14] This-- taste it, and (know) that for the unbelievers is the chastisement of fire. [8.15] O you who believe! when you meet those who disbelieve marching for war, then turn not your backs to them. [8.16] And whoever shall turn his back to them on that day-- unless he turn aside for the sake of fighting or withdraws to a company-- then he, indeed, becomes deserving of Allah's wrath, and his abode is hell; and an evil destination shall it be. [8.17] So you did not slay them, but it was Allah Who slew them, and you did not smite when you smote (the enemy), but it was Allah Who smote, and that He might confer upon the believers a good gift from Himself; surely Allah is Hearing, Knowing.

[8.29] O you who believe! If you are careful of (your duty to) Allah, He will grant you a distinction and do away with your evils and forgive you; and Allah is the Lord of mighty grace.

[8.39] And fight with them until there is no more persecution and religion should be only for Allah; but if they desist, then surely Allah sees what they do.

[8.55] Surely the vilest of animals in Allah's sight are those who disbelieve

[8.59] And let not those who disbelieve think that they shall come in first; surely they will not escape. [8.60] And prepare against them what force you can and horses tied at the frontier, to frighten thereby the enemy of Allah and your enemy and others besides them, whom you do not know (but) Allah knows them; and whatever thing you will spend in Allah's way, it will be paid back to you fully and you shall not be dealt with unjustly.

*(This next section is very interesting, since this was on papers that they found from at least one of the hijackers from 9-11.)

[8.65] O Prophet! urge the believers to war; if there are twenty patient ones of you they shall overcome two hundred, and if there are a hundred of you they shall overcome a thousand of those who disbelieve, because they are a people who do not understand. [8.66] For the present Allah has made light your burden, and He knows that there is weakness in you; so if there are a hundred patient ones of you they shall overcome two hundred, and if there are a thousand they shall overcome two thousand by Allah's permission, and Allah is with the patient. [8.67] It is not fit for a prophet that he should take captives unless he has fought and triumphed in the land; you desire the frail goods of this world, while Allah desires (for you) the hereafter; and Allah is Mighty, Wise. [8.68] Were it not for an ordinance from Allah that had already gone forth, surely there would have befallen you a great chastisement for what you had taken to. [8.69] Eat then of the lawful and good (things) which you have acquired in war, and be careful of (your duty to) Allah; surely Allah is Forgiving, Merciful.

The Immunity section:
[9.3] ..and announce painful punishment to those who disbelieve. [9.4] Except those of the idolaters with whom you made an agreement, then they have not failed you in anything and have not backed up any one against you, so fulfill their agreement to the end of their term; surely Allah loves those who are careful (of their duty). [9.5] So when the sacred months have passed away, then slay the idolaters wherever you find them, and take them captives and besiege them and lie in wait for them in every ambush, then if they repent and keep up prayer and pay the poor-rate, leave their way free to them; surely Allah is Forgiving, Merciful.

[9.20] Those who believed and fled (their homes), and strove hard in Allah's way with their property and their souls, are much higher in rank with Allah; and those are they who are the achievers (of their objects).

[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. {Islamic faith} [9.30] And the Jews say: Uzair is the son of Allah; and the Christians say: The Messiah is the son of Allah; these are the words of their mouths; they imitate the saying of those who disbelieved before; may Allah destroy them; how they are turned away! [9.31] They have taken their doctors of law and their monks for lords besides Allah, and (also) the Messiah son of Marium and they were enjoined that they should serve one God only, there is no god but He; far from His glory be what they set up (with Him). [9.32] They desire to put out the light of Allah with their mouths, and Allah will not consent save to perfect His light, though the unbelievers are averse.

[9.63] Do they not know that whoever acts in opposition to Allah and His Apostle, he shall surely have the fire of hell to abide in it? That is the grievous abasement.

[9.73] O Prophet! strive hard against the unbelievers and the hypocrites and be unyielding to them; and their abode is hell, and evil is the destination.

[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).

The Children of Israel section:
[17.16] And when We wish to destroy a town, We send Our commandment to the people of it who lead easy lives, but they transgress therein; thus the word proves true against it, so We destroy it with utter destruction. [17.17] And how many of the generations did We destroy after Nuh! and your Lord is sufficient as Knowing and Seeing with regard to His servants' faults.

[17.22] Do not associate with Allah any other god, lest you sit down despised, neglected.

[17.33] And do not kill any one whom Allah has forbidden, except for a just cause

About God not having a Son:
[19:88] Those who say the Lord of mercy has begotten a Son preach a monstrous falsehood, at which the very heavens might crack, the earth break asunder, and the mountains crumble to dust. That they should ascribe a Son to the merciful, when it did not become Him to beget one.



JEWS AND CHRISTIANS ON THE FRONT LINE

As most will be aware, during August the BBC aired a number of programmes
focussing on Islam both in its history and in contemporary scene. There is
no doubt that these were superbly presented. The impression generally given
was that Islam, both historically and today, was a peaceful religion which
has given huge benefits to human history since its birth and which today
promises to benefit British society.

While it is true that there have been times when Christians and Jews have
lived more or less harmoniously within a Moslem society, and while it is
also true that there are today kind and thoughtful Muslims who do seek to
live peaceably with their non-Muslim neighbours, this is not the basic
fundamental nature of Islam. The fact is that intolerance with non-Muslims
is one of the basic tenets of Islam, and that whenever Islam seeks to return
to its foundational primitive framework, it returns at the same time to
intolerance and, using its own word, Jihad.

There are two aspects of contemporary Islam of which it will be good for
Christians today to be reminded.


THE DUTY OF JIHAD

One of the important features of Islam is that of Jihad, that is the
obligation to wage a holy war on 'unbelievers', mainly Jews and Christians.
This is plainly stated in various place in the Koran, and is a statement of
the militaristic aspect of Islam which was manifest in the years after
Muhammad,. The five 'pillars' or duties of Islam, are faith, prayer, zakah
(setting aside a proportion for those in need), fasting, and the Hajj
(pilgrimage to Mecca), Nevertheless, these pillars of Islam are not an end
in themselves but are explained to be the means to prepare and equip the
Muslim for Islam's ultimate purpose which is Jihad.

"The ultimate objective of Islam is to abolish the lordship of man over man
and bring him under the rule of the one God (Allah). To stake everything you
have - including your lives - to achieve this purpose is called Jihad.
Prayer, fasting, alms giving and pilgrimage, all prepare you for Jihad."
(Let us be Muslims Sayyid Abul A'la Mawdudi, The Islamic Foundation
(Leicester) 1985 page 285)

"If you believe Islam to be true, you have no alternative but to exert your
uttermost strength to make it prevail on earth: you either establish it or
give your lives in this struggle." (ibid)

One hundred years after the death of Muhammad the Islamic armies had pushed
as far as Poitiers in France, but were there beaten and turned back across
the Pyrenees. Despite this setback, within two centuries of Muhammad's death
Islam dominated the great sweep of territory from southern Spain to northern
India. The Muslims remained dominant in Spain for another seven centuries.
In contrast to other world religions, Islam is not only a religious system,
but also a social, political and legal system, and in its original form (a
form re-emerging today) demands from its followers total conformity in all
these areas.

For the orthodox Muslim Arab, Islam's history came to an end in 1258 with
the sack of Baghdad by the Mongols; in 1492 with the fall of Grenada and the
end of Moslem Spain; and in 1517 when the Turks conquered Egypt. Islam went
into a dark age in which it would stagnate for more than four centuries.
Certainly during this period Islam appeared to be a moderate religious
force, and indeed Jews, for example, enjoyed a reasonably secure existence
in Islamic countries.

The slumbering giant awoke in the early 1970s as a result of the 1973?74
oil?embargo, and has since resumed its inherent militant nature. One has
only to look at the behaviour of Islam, not only in the Middle-East where it
is manifesting an extreme fundamentalist nature through Hamas and other
factions, but also in North Africa where the Christians of Egypt (the Copts)
have been suffering extreme persecution, Sudan where countless thousands
have been brutally murdered, and other countries where similar difficulties
exist. Even in our own country we see a militant Islam on the move with the
building of mosques and an aggressive political attitude - unless it is
expedient to show an accommodating face. Thus, the Muslims are seeking to
build a huge mosque in the East End of London to be the largest in Europe.
The Islamic authorities have said that they want every house within a one
mile radius to be occupied by Muslims so that they can bring the whole area
under Islamic rule, despite th e fact that it includes some thriving
churches and the homes of many Christians. (Reported in PWM News Letter,
July 2001)

According to Islam the world is divided into two, the House of Islam and the
House of War. According to this scenario the Islamic world is committed to
wage war against those outside it until it submits to Islam. Such warfare
may be not only military but also political and religious. To Islam the word
"peace" means not our Western/Judeo-Christian idea of peace, that is
cooperative coexistence, but rather subjugation to Islam, and to lie and
deceive is a legitimate means to that end - despite the 'official'
explanation of Islam given for western consumption which says that "Islam is
the religion of peace: its meaning is peace.... If non-Muslims are peaceful
with the Muslims or even indifferent to Islam, there can be no justification
to interfere in their affairs or declare war on them. There is no religion
or constitution that guarantees peaceful freedom of religion and forbids
compulsion in religion except Islam." (Introducing Islam)

At a conference in 1968 at the influential al-Azhar University in Cairo,
Sheikh Abdullah Ghoshah, Supreme Judge of the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan,
in presenting a paper on Jihad, made some significant revelations: "Jihad is
legislated in order to be one of the means of propagating Islam.

Consequently non-Muslims ought to embrace Islam either willingly or through
wisdom and good advice, or unwillingly through fight and Jihad. Scholars lay
the foundation of the foreign policy of the Islamic states on the following
bases:

1.    It is unlawful to give up Jihad and adopt peace and weakness, unless
the purpose of giving up is for preparation, whenever there is something
weak among Muslims and their opponents are strong.

2.    War is the basis of the relationship between Muslims and their
opponents unless there are justifiable reasons for peace such as adopting
Islam or making an agreement with them to keep peaceful.

3.    The abode of Islam is the homeland which is subject to the rules of
Islam... The abode of war is the nation which is not subject to the rules of
Islam...

4.    Muslims are free to break their covenant with enemies if they are
uneasy lest the enemies should betray them ...
The Sheikh quoted two traditional authorities on Islam. From Al Tabarani:
"Lies are sins except when they are told for the welfare of a Moslem or for
saving him from disaster." From Ibn Al Arabi: Telling lies in war is
permitted so as to comfort the Muslims when they are in need of it as in the
time of fighting."

Sheikh Ghoshah concluded his address with an observation on arrogance:
"Allah, the Almighty, loves the Muslim to be arrogant when he is fighting as
it manifests that he is indifferent to his enemy and that he determines to
vanquish him." (Conference proceedings published by the Egyptian Government
Printing Office in 1970, in Arabic and English; quoted by John Laffin in The
Dagger of Islam, Sphere Books Ltd, London 1979, pp 54-55)

Thus, a peaceful moderate Islam is an historical anomaly and its true nature
is a militaristic conquering religion committed to the subjugation of all
other faiths, most particularly that of Jews and Christians.
'FIRST THE JEW, AND THEN THE CHRISTIAN'

It has become commonplace to equate Judaism Christianity and Islam by
referring to them as the three great monotheistic religions. The implication
then follows that all three are equally valid ways to God so that dialogue
between two of the three, or sometimes all three together, will lead to a
greater understanding of God's love for and way of life for men and women.
However, one of the key tenets of Islam is its denial of Jesus as the Son of
God, and indeed as God himself. The holiest site on earth is arguably the
Temple Mount in Jerusalem where possibly Abraham offered up Isaac, which
David purchased, and which ultimately became the site of the Second Temple,
and in a geographical sense the place where Jesus was crucified and buried.
Nevertheless inscribed on the Dome of the Rock, standing where it is
believed Abraham offered up Isaac (Ishmael according to the Koran), are
inscriptions seven hundred and thirty-four feet long in all, amongst the
lengthiest inscriptions in the world, including passages from the Koran
which all deny the sonship of Jesus. One of these says: "Do not say 'three'
and it will be better for you. Allah is only one God. Far be it from His
glory that he should have a son." This can almost be called the ultimate
example of blasphemy, and a focal point for Islam's opposition to the God of
Israel and His Messiah.

Contrary to the way the secular media generally portrays the Arab/Israeli
conflict, it is essentially a religious conflict which in fact has been
preached long before the current violence began. This preaching is not a
reaction to present violence but rather the motivating force behind it. The
Palestinian authority's religious world-view sees agreements with Israel as
inherently temporary, and war against Jews as an expression of Allah's will.
"Regrettably, the Christian world has not yet come to grips with the fact
that Israel is on the front line against a rapidly expanding wave of radical
Islamic fundamentalism which is in danger of engulfing the world. Militant
radical Islam views the Jewish state as a primal challenge to their religion
and vaunted manhood. It has been suggested that Israel and the Jews are
being used by Moslem leaders as the emotional short fuse to build up their
fighting courage and war-making capabilities. Predictably, if they achieve
their current goals of destroying Israel they will continue on against the
bastion of Christianity - Europe and America. For radical Islamists, this
will be their final battle but, in the interim, they invite Christian
nations to join them in their war against the Jews.

"Muslims have a saying: 'First the Saturday People; then the Sunday People'.
This two tiered war is already in motion as Arabs under the banner of Islam
have hurled themselves against Israel in six wars and continual terrorism,
alongside their attacking Christians in almost all Arab and/or Muslim lands.

*    Coptic Christians in Egypt - the largest Christian community in the
Middle East - are being systematically eliminated.

*    Sudanese Christians and animists are being annihilated. The policy of
Khartoum against the mostly Christian seven million Southern Sudanese is
increasing in violence and scope.

*    Christian Lebanese have been massacred in previous years by Arafat's
PLO. This broadening of oppression, which started in the early 1990s, has
reached an apex this past year with the resuming of abduction, torture and
jailing of hundreds Lebanese Christians and non-Christians, accused of being
either anti-Syrians or pro-Israeli.

*    In Iran, the Mullah regime, despite the leadership of pragmatic
President Khatemi, still maintains a religious apartheid system against the
non-Muslims, particularly the Christians and the Bahais. (MECHRIC:
Escalation of Oppression against Christians in Egypt, Lebanon, Iraq 3 July
2001)

*    Even Arab Christians in Bethlehem are being driven out or remain under
siege.

"Israel is the front line, defying Islam by thwarting their first goal of
eliminating Jews and their religion.

"The Christian world, in their own foremost interests, ought to be<br>vigorously supportive of the Jewish State of Israel as their best outer
defence barrier against an ongoing attack by the Muslims against themselves.

Instead, the Western nations passively or otherwise support the Muslims
against Israel by their defence of the Palestinian cause and their failure
to properly convey the reality of Israel's position.

"Perhaps there will be a great awakening across the entire Christian world
that in fact the Jews stand as defenders at the gates of civilisation."

Bukhari:V4B52N63     "A man whose face was covered with an iron mask came to the Prophet and said, 'Allah's Apostle! Shall I fight or embrace Islam first?'

Tabari IX:69     "Arabs are the most noble people in lineage, the most prominent, and the best in deeds. We were the first to respond to the call of the Prophet. We are Allah's helpers and the viziers of His Messenger. We fight people until they believe in Allah. He who believes in Allah and His Messenger has protected his life and possessions from us. As for one who disbelieves, we will fight him forever in the Cause of Allah. Killing him is a small matter to us."

Qur'an:48:16     "Say (Muhammad) to the wandering desert Arabs who lagged behind: 'You shall be invited to fight against a people given to war with mighty prowess.

Ishaq:550     "The Muslims met them with their swords. They cut through many arms and skulls. Only confused cries and groans could be heard over our battle roars and snarling."

Tabari IX:88     "Abdallah Azdi came to the Messenger, embraced Islam, and became a good Muslim. Allah's Apostle invested Azdi with the authority over those who had surrendered and ordered him to fight the infidels from the tribes of Yemen. Azdi left with an army by the Messenger's command. The Muslims besieged them for a month. Then they withdrew, setting a trap. When the Yemenites went in pursuit, Azdi was able to inflict a heavy loss on them."

Ishaq:530     "Get out of his way, you infidel unbelievers. Every good thing goes with the Apostle. Lord, I believe in his word. We will fight you about its interpretations as we have fought you about its revelation with strokes that will remove heads from shoulders and make enemies of friends."

Muslim:C9B1N29     "Command For Fighting Against People So Long As They Do Not Profess That There Is No Ilah (God) But Allah And Muhammad Is His Messenger: When the Messenger breathed his last and Bakr was appointed Caliph, many Arabs chose to become apostates [rejected Islam]. Abu Bakr said: 'I will definitely fight against anyone who stops paying the Zakat tax, for it is an obligation. I will fight against them even to secure the cord used for hobbling the feet of a camel which they used to pay if they withhold it now.' Allah had justified fighting against those who refused to pay Zakat."

Muslim:C9B1N33     "The Prophet said: 'I have been commanded to fight against people till they testify there is no god but Allah, that Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah, and they establish prostration prayer, and pay Zakat. If they do it, their blood and property are protected.'"

Muslim:C10B1N176     "Muhammad (may peace be upon him) sent us in a raiding party. We raided Huraqat in the morning. I caught hold of a man and he said: 'There is no god but Allah,' but I attacked him with a spear anyway. It once occurred to me that I should ask the Apostle about this. The Messenger said: 'Did he profess "There is no god but Allah," and even then you killed him?' I said: 'He made a profession out of the fear of the weapon I was threatening him with.' The Prophet said: 'Did you tear out his heart in order to find out whether it had professed truly or not?'"

Muslim:C20B1N4597     "The Prophet said at the conquest of Mecca: 'There is no migration now, but only Jihad, fighting for the Cause of Islam. When you are asked to set out on a Jihad expedition, you should readily do so.'"

Muslim:C28B20N4629     "The Messenger said: 'One who is wounded in the Way of Allah - and Allah knows best who is wounded in His Way - will appear on the Day of Judgment with his wound still bleeding. The color (of its discharge) will be blood, (but) its smell will be musk.'"

Muslim:C34B20N4652-3     "The Merit Of Jihad And Of Keeping Vigilance Over The Enemy: A man came to the Holy Prophet and said: 'Who is the best of men?' He replied: 'A man who fights staking his life and spending his wealth in Allah's Cause.'"

Muslim:C42B20N4684     "A desert Arab came to the Prophet and said: 'Messenger, one man fights for the spoils of war; another fights that he may be remembered, and one fights that he may see his (high) position (achieved as a result of his valor in fighting). Which of these is fighting in the Cause of Allah?' The Messenger of Allah said: 'Who fights so that the word of Allah is exalted is fighting in the Way of Allah.'"

Muslim:C53B20N4717     "The Prophet said: 'This religion will continue to exist, and a group of people from the Muslims will continue to fight for its protection until the Hour is established.'"

Bukhari:V5B59N288     "I witnessed a scene that was dearer to me than anything I had ever seen. Aswad came to the Prophet while Muhammad was urging the Muslims to fight the pagans. He said, 'We shall fight on your right and on your left and in front of you and behind you.' I saw the face of the Prophet getting bright with happiness, for that saying delighted him."

Bukhari:V5B59N290     "The believers who did not join the Ghazwa [Islamic raid or invasion] and those who fought are not equal in reward."

Qur'an:2:193     "Fight them until there is no more Fitnah (disbelief) and religion is only for Allah. But if they cease/desist, let there be no hostility except against infidel disbelievers."

Qur'an:2:217     "They question you concerning fighting in the sacred month. Say: 'Fighting therein is a grave (matter); but to prevent access to Allah, to deny Him, to prevent access to the Sacred Mosque, to expel its members, and polytheism are worse than slaughter. Nor will they cease fighting you until they make you renegades from your religion. If any of you turn back and die in unbelief, your works will be lost and you will go to Hell. Surely those who believe and leave their homes to fight in Allah's Cause have the hope of Allah's mercy."

Qur'an:2:244     "Fight in Allah's Cause, and know that Allah hears and knows all."

Ishaq:280     "The Apostle prepared for war in pursuance of Allah's command to fight his enemies and to fight the infidels who Allah commanded him to fight."

Qur'an:61:2     "O Muslims, why say one thing and do another? Grievously odious and hateful is it in the sight of Allah that you say that which you do not. Truly Allah loves those who fight in His Cause in a battle array, as if they were a solid cemented structure."

Bukhari:V4B52N61     "Allah's Apostle! We were absent from the first battle you fought against the pagans. If Allah gives us a chance to do battle, no doubt, He will see how bravely we fight."

Ishaq:398     "Ask them for their help. Thereby make the religion of Islam agreeable to them. And when you are resolved in the matter of religion concerning fighting your enemy you will have the advantage."

Qur'an:3:146     "How many prophets fought in Allah's Cause? With them (fought) myriads of godly men who were slain. They never lost heart if they met with disaster in Allah's Cause, nor did they weaken nor give in. Allah loves those who are firm and steadfast [warriors]."

Ishaq:393     "How many prophets has death in battle befallen and how many multitudes with him? They did not show weakness toward their enemies and were not humiliated when they suffered in the fight for Allah and their religion. That is steadfastness. Allah loves the steadfast."

Qur'an:3:153     "Behold! You ran off precipitately, climbing up the high hill without even casting a side glance at anyone, while the Messenger in your rear is calling you from your rear, urging you to fight. Allah gave you one distress after another by way of requital, to teach you not to grieve for the booty that had escaped you and for (the ill) that had befallen you."

Qur'an:3:154     "Say: 'Even if you had remained in your houses, those ordained to be slaughtered would have gone forth to the places where they were to slain."

Ishaq:440     "Helped by the Holy Spirit we smited Muhammad's foes. The Apostle sent a message to them with a sharp cutting sword."

Ishaq:470     "We attacked them fully armed, swords in hand, cutting through heads and skulls."
Qur'an:61:4     "Surely Allah loves those who fight in His Cause."

Qur'an:61:11     "Believers, shall I lead you to a bargain or trade that will save you from a painful torment?

And another (favor) which you love: help from Allah for a speedy victory over your enemies."

Qur'an:8:5     "Your Lord ordered you out of your homes to fight for the true cause, even though some Muslims disliked it, and were averse (to fighting)."

Qur'an:24:53     "They swear their strongest oaths saying that if only you would command them. They would leave their homes (and go forth fighting in Allah's Cause). Say: 'Swear not; Obedience is (more) reasonable.'"

Qur'an:4:74     "Let those who fight in Allah's Cause sell this world's life for the hereafter. To him who fights in Allah's Cause, whether he is slain or victorious, We shall give him a reward."

Qur'an:4:75     "What reason have you that you should not fight in Allah's Cause?" [Another translation says:] "What is wrong with you that you do not fight for Allah?"

Qur'an:4:77 
  
Qur'an:4:78     "Wherever you are, death will find you, even if you are in towers strong and high! So what is wrong with these people, that they fail to understand these simple words?"

Qur'an:4:84     "Then fight (Muhammad) in Allah's Cause. Incite the believers to fight with you."

Qur'an:4:94     "Believers, when you go abroad to fight wars in Allah's Cause, investigate carefully, and say not to anyone who greets you: 'You are not a believer!' Coveting the chance profits of this life (so that you may despoil him). With Allah are plenteous spoils and booty."

Qur'an:4:95     "Not equal are believers who sit home and receive no hurt and those who fight in Allah's Cause with their wealth and lives. Allah has granted a grade higher to those who fight with their possessions and bodies to those who sit home. Those who fight He has distinguished with a special reward."

Qur'an:4:100     "He who leaves his home in Allah's Cause finds abundant resources and many a refuge. Should he die as a refugee for Allah and His Messenger His reward becomes due and sure with Allah. When you travel through the earth there is no blame on you if you curtail your worship for fear unbelievers may attack you. In truth the disbelievers are your enemy."

Qur'an:4:102     "When you (Prophet) lead them in prayer, let some stand with you, taking their arms with them. When they finish their prostrations, let them take positions in the rear. And let others who have not yet prayed come - taking all precaution, and bearing arms. The Infidels wish, if you were negligent of your arms, to assault you in a rush. But there is no blame on you if you put away your arms because of the inconvenience of rain or because you are ill; but take precaution. For the Unbelieving Infidels Allah hath prepared a humiliating punishment."

Qur'an:4:104     "And do not relent in pursuing the enemy."

WHY DON'T WE NEED A MUSLIM FOR PRESIDENT?
Category: News and Politics

WHY DON'T WE NEED A MUSLIM FOR PRESIDENT?

The Muslim religion is intolerant of any other religion or people. They are actively waging a public relations war as well as their holy war or Ghihad. The bad thing is that the American media is helping to perpetrate the lies. It is crap that they are tolerant and that it is only extremists who are anti American, anti-Jewish, and anti-Christian. If they believe differently, then they don't believe their own Koran.  If Obama is one of the people who claims to be Muslim, yet says he is tolerant, then he basically does not adhere to his own faith and that is more dishonorable than if he came right out and stated his views as being anti-Christian and Jew. Below you will find direct quotes from the Koran. I ask you to read them and then see if you belive the Koran is a tolerant Bible.

Now I have heard some people say that they are no different from the Medieval Christians who persecuted anyone who did not conform. In fact, when JFK ran for president, many people were afraid he would impose the Catholic faith on America.

Well the point here is, the Catholics in the Middle Ages interpreted the Bible as they saw fit and did not have direct quotes of the New Testament ordering them to murder and kill and torture. The Kuran, on the other hand is very specific about an obligation to kill.

The Catholic church  eventually stopped killing and the current clergy are not advocating holy war or crusade if you will. They do not believe they are obligated, if elected to public office to wipe out non Catholics.

Either Obama is Muslim or he's not.  The Koran does not have a middle ground.



"Believers! wage war against such of the infidels as are your neighbors, and let them find you rigorous; and know God is with those who fear him." Koran, Surah 9:120.

"Fight then against them till strife be at an end, and the religion be all of it God's." No other religion but Islam! Koran, Surah 8:10.

" Mohammed is the Apostle of God, and his comrades (Muslims) are vehement against the infidels but are full of tenderness for themselves." Koran, Surah 48:20
THE KORAN ON JEWS

 "3.112" : Abasement is made to cleave to them (the Jews) wherever they are
found, except under a covenant with Allah and a covenant with men, and they
have become deserving of wrath from Allah, and humiliation is made to cleave
to them; this is because they disbelieved in the communications of Allah and
slew the prophets unjustly; this is because they disobeyed and exceeded the
limits.

"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.

"5.82" : Certainly you will find the most violent of people in enmity for
those who believe (to be) the Jews and those who are ΠpolytheistsΠ, and
you will certainly find the nearest in friendship to those who believe (to
be) those who say: We are Christians; this is because there are priests and
monks among them and because they do not behave proudly.

 "9.30" : And the Jews say: Œ UzairŒ  is the son of Allah; and the
Christians say: The Messiah is the son of Allah; these are the words of
their mouths; they imitate the saying of those who disbelieved before; may
Allah destroy them; how they are turned away! From the ΠHadithΠ, a body of
traditions relating to Mohammed and now supplemental to the Koran: He (Abu Œ
HurayahΠ) reported the messenger of Allah as saying: The last hour will not
come before the Muslims fight the Jews and the Muslims kill them, so that
Jews will hide behind stones and trees and the Stone and the tree will say,
O Muslim, O servant of God! There is a Jew behind me; come and kill him.
The only exception will be the box-thorn for it is one of the trees of the
Jews. SahihŒ  of Muslim , quoted by Israel and the Prophecies of Al Œ QuranŒ
by Ali Akbar, Œ BismiŒ  Publishers 1992, p.44) (Palestinian Media Watch in
Israel  reported in July 2001 that  at least four times in recent months
Palestinian religious leaders had taught publicly that this Œ HadithŒ
(Islamic traditions attributed to Mohammed) is an authoritative directive of
Islam today, expressing Allah¹s will that obedient Muslims kill Jews). (In
the terminology of Islam, unbelievers  are Jews and Christians)


CRASH COURSE ON the ARAB ISRAELI CONFLICT

HERE'S THE BRIEF FACTS ON THE ISRAELI CONFLICT TODAY....
It makes sense and it's not slanted. Jew and non-Jew it doesn't matter.

1. Nationhood and Jerusalem. Israel became a nation in 1312 B.C.E., two
thousand years before the rise of Islam.

2. Arab refugees in Israel began identifying themselves as part of a
Palestinian people in 1967, two decades after the establishment of the
modern State of Israel.

3. Since the Jewish conquest in 1272 B.C.E. the Jews have had dominion
over the land for one thousand years with a continuous presence in the land
for the past 3,300 years.

4. The only Arab dominion since the conquest in 635 C.E. lasted no more
than 22 years.

5. For over 3,300 years, Jerusalem has been the Jewish capital.

Jerusalem has never been the capital of any Arab or Muslim entity Even when
the Jordanians occupied Jerusalem, they never sought to make it their
capital, and Arab leaders did not come to visit.

6. Jerusalem is mentioned over 700 times in Tanach, the Jewish Holy

Scriptures. Jerusalem is not mentioned once in the Koran.

7. King David founded the city of Jerusalem. Mohammed never came to
Jerusalem.

8. Jews pray facing Jerusalem. Muslims pray with their backs toward
Jerusalem.

9. Arab and Jewish Refugees: In 1948 the Arab refugees were encouraged
to leave Israel by Arab leaders promising to purge the land of Jews.
Sixty-eight percent left without ever seeing an Israeli soldier.


10. The Jewish refugees were forced to flee from Arab lands due to Arab
brutality, persecution and pogroms.

11. The number of Arab refugees who left Israel in 1948 is estimated to be
around 630,000. The number of Jewish refugees from Arab lands is estimated
to be the same.

12. Arab refugees were INTENTIONALLY not absorbed or integrated into the
Arab lands to which they fled, despite the vast Arab territory. Out of the
100,000,000 refugees since World War II, theirs is the only refugee group in
the world that has never been absorbed or integrated into their own peoples'
lands. Jewish refugees were completely absorbed into Israel, a country no
larger than the state of New Jersey.

13. The Arab - Israeli Conflict: The Arabs are represented by eight separate
nations, not including the Palestinians. There is only one Jewish nation.
The Arab nations initiated all five wars and lost. Israel defended itself
each time and won.

14. The P.L.O.'s Charter still calls for the destruction of the State of
Israel. Israel has given the Palestinians most of the West Bank land,
autonomy under the Palestinian Authority, and has supplied them with
weapons.

15. Under Jordanian rule, Jewish holy sites were desecrated and the Jews
were denied access to places of worship. Under Israeli rule, all Muslim and
Christian sites have been preserved and made accessible to people of all
faiths.

16. The U.N. Record on Israel and the Arabs: of the 175 Security Council
resolutions passed before 1990, 97 were directed against Israel.

17. Of the 690 General Assembly resolutions voted on before 1990, 429
 
18. The U. N was silent while 58 Jerusalem Synagogues were destroyed by
the Jordanians.

19. The U.N. was silent while the Jordanians systematically desecrated
the ancient Jewish cemetery on the Mount of Olives

20. The U.N. was silent while the Jordanians enforced an apartheid-like
policy of preventing Jews from visiting the Temple Mount and the Western
Wall.


THE KORAN ON JEWS

 "3.112" : Abasement is made to cleave to them (the Jews) wherever they are
found, except under a covenant with Allah and a covenant with men, and they
have become deserving of wrath from Allah, and humiliation is made to cleave
to them; this is because they disbelieved in the communications of Allah and
slew the prophets unjustly; this is because they disobeyed and exceeded the
limits.

"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.

"5.82" : Certainly you will find the most violent of people in enmity for
those who believe (to be) the Jews and those who are ΠpolytheistsΠ, and
you will certainly find the nearest in friendship to those who believe (to
be) those who say: We are Christians; this is because there are priests and
monks among them and because they do not behave proudly.

 "9.30" : And the Jews say: Œ UzairŒ  is the son of Allah; and the
Christians say: The Messiah is the son of Allah; these are the words of
their mouths; they imitate the saying of those who disbelieved before; may
Allah destroy them; how they are turned away! From the ΠHadithΠ, a body of
traditions relating to Mohammed and now supplemental to the Koran: He (Abu Œ
HurayahΠ) reported the messenger of Allah as saying: The last hour will not
come before the Muslims fight the Jews and the Muslims kill them, so that
Jews will hide behind stones and trees and the Stone and the tree will say,
O Muslim, O servant of God! There is a Jew behind me; come and kill him.
The only exception will be the box-thorn for it is one of the trees of the
Jews. SahihŒ  of Muslim , quoted by Israel and the Prophecies of Al Œ QuranŒ
by Ali Akbar, Œ BismiŒ  Publishers 1992, p.44) (Palestinian Media Watch in
Israel  reported in July 2001 that  at least four times in recent months
Palestinian religious leaders had taught publicly that this Œ HadithŒ
(Islamic traditions attributed to Mohammed) is an authoritative directive of
Islam today, expressing Allah¹s will that obedient Muslims kill Jews). (In
the terminology of Islam, unbelievers  are Jews and Christians)


THE KORAN ON CHRISTIANS

"4.156-158" : And for their unbelief and for their having uttered against Œ
MariumŒ  a grievous calumny. And their saying: Surely we have killed the
Messiah, Isa son of ΠMariumΠ, the apostle of Allah; and they did not kill
him nor did they crucify him, but it appeared to them so (like Isa) and most
surely those who differ therein are only in a doubt about it; they have no
knowledge respecting it, but only follow a conjecture, and they killed him
not for sure. Nay! +Z&- Allah took him up to Himself; and Allah is Mighty,
Wise.

4.171" : O followers of the Book! do not exceed the limits in your religion,
and do not speak (lies) against Allah, but (speak) the truth; the Messiah,
Isa son of Œ MariumŒ  is only an apostle of Allah and His Word which He
communicated to Œ MariumŒ  and a spirit from Him; believe therefore in Allah
and His apostles, and say not, Three. Desist, it is better for you; Allah is
only one God; far be It from His glory that He should have a son, whatever
is in the heavens and whatever is in the earth is His, and Allah is
sufficient for a Protector.

 "5.14" : And with those who say, We are Christians, We made a covenant, but
they neglected a portion of what they were reminded of, therefore We excited
among them enmity and hatred to the day of resurrection; and Allah will
inform them of what they did.

"5.18" : And the Jews and the Christians say: We are the sons of Allah and
His beloved ones. Say: Why does He then chastise you for your faults? Nay,
you are mortals from among those whom He has created, He forgives whom He
pleases and chastises whom He pleases; and Allah's is the kingdom of the
heavens and the earth and what is between them, and to Him is the eventual
coming.

 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.

"5.69" : Surely those who believe and those who are Jews and the Œ SabiansŒ
and the Christians whoever believes in Allah and the last day and does good
they shall have no fear nor shall they grieve.

"5.72" : Certainly they disbelieve who say: Surely Allah, He is the Messiah,
son of ΠMariumΠand the Messiah said: O Children of Israel! serve Allah, my
Lord and your Lord. Surely whoever associates (others) with Allah, then
Allah has forbidden to him the garden, and his abode is the fire; and there
shall be no helpers for the unjust.

"5.73" : Certainly they disbelieve who say: Surely Allah is the third
(person) of the three; and there is no god but the one God, and if they
desist not from what they say, a painful chastisement shall befall those
among them who disbelieve.

"5.82" : Certainly you will find the most violent of people in enmity for
those who believe (to be) the Jews and those who are ΠpolytheistsΠ, and
you will certainly find the nearest in friendship to those who believe (to
be) those who say: We are Christians; this is because there are priests and
monks among them and because they do not behave proudly.

 "9.30" : And the Jews say: Œ UzairŒ  is the son of Allah; and the
Christians say: The Messiah is the son of Allah; these are the words of
their mouths; they imitate the saying of those who disbelieved before; may
Allah destroy them; how they are turned away!

"17.111" : And say: (All) praise is due to Allah, Who has not taken a son
and Who has not a partner in the kingdom, and Who has not a helper to save
Him from disgrace; and proclaim His greatness magnifying (Him).

18.1-5" : (All) praise is due to Allah, Who revealed the Book to His servant
and did not make in it any crookedness. Rightly directing, that he might
give warning of severe punishment from Him and give good news to the
believers who do good that they shall have a goodly reward, Staying in it
for ever; And warn those who say: Allah has taken a son. They have no
knowledge of it, nor had their fathers; a grievous word it is that comes out
of their mouths;they speak nothing but a lie. .C*1

"19.88-92" : And they say: The Beneficent God has taken (to Himself) a son.
Certainly you have made an abominable assertion. The heavens may almost be
rent thereat, and the earth cleave asunder, and the mountains fall down in
pieces, that they ascribe a son to the Beneficent God. And it is not worthy
of the Beneficent God that He should take (to Himself) a son.


THE KORAN ON JIHAD

"5.33" : The punishment of those who wage war against Allah and His apostle
and strive to make mischief in the land is only this, that they should be
murdered or crucified or their hands and their feet should be cut off on
opposite sides or they should be imprisoned; this shall be as a disgrace for
them in this world, and in the hereafter they shall have a grievous
chastisement,

"8.38" : Say to those who disbelieve, if they desist, that which is past
shall be forgiven to them; and if they return, then what happened to the
ancients has already passed.

"8.39" : And fight with them until there is no more persecution and religion
should be only for Allah; but if they desist, then surely Allah sees what
they do.

"9.5" : So when the sacred months have passed away, then slay the idolaters
wherever you find them, and take them captives and besiege them and lie in
wait for them in every ambush,then if they repent and keep up prayer and pay
the poor-rate, leave their way free to them;surely Allah is Forgiving,
Merciful.

"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.

"9.30" : And the Jews say: Œ UzairŒ  is the son of Allah; and the Christians
say: The Messiah is the son of Allah; these are the words of their mouths;
they imitate the saying of those who disbelieved before; may Allah destroy
them; how they are turned away!

"9.36" : Surely the number of months with Allah is twelve months in Allah's
ordinance since the day when He created the heavens and the earth, of these
four being sacred; that is the right reckoning; therefore be not unjust to
yourselves regarding them, and fight the polytheistsŒ  all together as they
fight you all together; and know that Allah is with those who guard (against
evil).

"9.73" : O Prophet! strive hard against the unbelievers and the hypocrites
and be unyielding to them; and their abode is hell, and evil is the
destination.

 "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).

Koran misc. quotes re: Violence/killing, Israel, Jesus/prophet, Keeping/breaking promises, etc

The Women section:
[4.34] and (as to) those on whose part you fear desertion, admonish them, and leave them alone in the sleeping-places and beat them; then if they obey you, do not seek a way against them; surely Allah is High, Great.

[4.88] What is the matter with you, then, that you have become two parties about the hypocrites, while Allah has made them return (to unbelief) for what they have earned? Do you wish to guide him whom Allah has caused to err? And whomsoever Allah causes to err, you shall by no means find a way for him. [4.89] They desire that you should disbelieve as they have disbelieved, so that you might be (all) alike; therefore take not from among them friends until they fly (their homes) in Allah's way; but if they turn back, then seize them and kill them wherever you find them, and take not from among them a friend or a helper.

[4.91] You will find others who desire that they should be safe from you and secure from their own people; as often as they are sent back to the mischief they get thrown into it headlong; therefore if they do not withdraw from you, and (do not) offer you peace and restrain their hands, then seize them and kill them wherever you find them; and against these We have given.you a clear authority.

[4.101] And when you journey in the earth, there is no blame on you if you shorten the prayer, if you fear that those who disbelieve will cause you distress, surely the unbelievers are your open enemy. surely Allah has prepared a disgraceful chastisement for the unbelievers. [4.103] Then when you have finished the prayer, remember Allah standing and sitting and reclining; but when you are secure (from danger) keep up prayer; surely prayer is a timed ordinance for the believers. [4.104] And be not weak hearted in pursuit of the enemy; if you suffer pain, then surely they (too) suffer pain as you suffer pain, and you hope from Allah what they do not hope; and Allah is Knowing, Wise.

The Dinner Table section:
[5.17] Certainly they disbelieve who say: Surely, Allah-- He is the Messiah, son of Marium. Say: Who then could control anything as against Allah when He wished to destroy the Messiah son of Marium and his mother and all those on the earth?

[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.

The Accessions:
[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. [8.13] This is because they acted adversely to Allah and His Apostle; and whoever acts adversely to Allah and His Apostle-- then surely Allah is severe in requiting (evil). [8.14] This-- taste it, and (know) that for the unbelievers is the chastisement of fire. [8.15] O you who believe! when you meet those who disbelieve marching for war, then turn not your backs to them. [8.16] And whoever shall turn his back to them on that day-- unless he turn aside for the sake of fighting or withdraws to a company-- then he, indeed, becomes deserving of Allah's wrath, and his abode is hell; and an evil destination shall it be. [8.17] So you did not slay them, but it was Allah Who slew them, and you did not smite when you smote (the enemy), but it was Allah Who smote, and that He might confer upon the believers a good gift from Himself; surely Allah is Hearing, Knowing.

[8.29] O you who believe! If you are careful of (your duty to) Allah, He will grant you a distinction and do away with your evils and forgive you; and Allah is the Lord of mighty grace.

[8.39] And fight with them until there is no more persecution and religion should be only for Allah; but if they desist, then surely Allah sees what they do.

[8.55] Surely the vilest of animals in Allah's sight are those who disbelieve

[8.59] And let not those who disbelieve think that they shall come in first; surely they will not escape. [8.60] And prepare against them what force you can and horses tied at the frontier, to frighten thereby the enemy of Allah and your enemy and others besides them, whom you do not know (but) Allah knows them; and whatever thing you will spend in Allah's way, it will be paid back to you fully and you shall not be dealt with unjustly.

*(This next section is very interesting, since this was on papers that they found from at least one of the hijackers from 9-11.)

[8.65] O Prophet! urge the believers to war; if there are twenty patient ones of you they shall overcome two hundred, and if there are a hundred of you they shall overcome a thousand of those who disbelieve, because they are a people who do not understand. [8.66] For the present Allah has made light your burden, and He knows that there is weakness in you; so if there are a hundred patient ones of you they shall overcome two hundred, and if there are a thousand they shall overcome two thousand by Allah's permission, and Allah is with the patient. [8.67] It is not fit for a prophet that he should take captives unless he has fought and triumphed in the land; you desire the frail goods of this world, while Allah desires (for you) the hereafter; and Allah is Mighty, Wise. [8.68] Were it not for an ordinance from Allah that had already gone forth, surely there would have befallen you a great chastisement for what you had taken to. [8.69] Eat then of the lawful and good (things) which you have acquired in war, and be careful of (your duty to) Allah; surely Allah is Forgiving, Merciful.

The Immunity section:
[9.3] ..and announce painful punishment to those who disbelieve. [9.4] Except those of the idolaters with whom you made an agreement, then they have not failed you in anything and have not backed up any one against you, so fulfill their agreement to the end of their term; surely Allah loves those who are careful (of their duty). [9.5] So when the sacred months have passed away, then slay the idolaters wherever you find them, and take them captives and besiege them and lie in wait for them in every ambush, then if they repent and keep up prayer and pay the poor-rate, leave their way free to them; surely Allah is Forgiving, Merciful.

[9.20] Those who believed and fled (their homes), and strove hard in Allah's way with their property and their souls, are much higher in rank with Allah; and those are they who are the achievers (of their objects).

[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. {Islamic faith} [9.30] And the Jews say: Uzair is the son of Allah; and the Christians say: The Messiah is the son of Allah; these are the words of their mouths; they imitate the saying of those who disbelieved before; may Allah destroy them; how they are turned away! [9.31] They have taken their doctors of law and their monks for lords besides Allah, and (also) the Messiah son of Marium and they were enjoined that they should serve one God only, there is no god but He; far from His glory be what they set up (with Him). [9.32] They desire to put out the light of Allah with their mouths, and Allah will not consent save to perfect His light, though the unbelievers are averse.

[9.63] Do they not know that whoever acts in opposition to Allah and His Apostle, he shall surely have the fire of hell to abide in it? That is the grievous abasement.

[9.73] O Prophet! strive hard against the unbelievers and the hypocrites and be unyielding to them; and their abode is hell, and evil is the destination.

[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).

The Children of Israel section:
[17.16] And when We wish to destroy a town, We send Our commandment to the people of it who lead easy lives, but they transgress therein; thus the word proves true against it, so We destroy it with utter destruction. [17.17] And how many of the generations did We destroy after Nuh! and your Lord is sufficient as Knowing and Seeing with regard to His servants' faults.

[17.22] Do not associate with Allah any other god, lest you sit down despised, neglected.

[17.33] And do not kill any one whom Allah has forbidden, except for a just cause

About God not having a Son:
[19:88] Those who say the Lord of mercy has begotten a Son preach a monstrous falsehood, at which the very heavens might crack, the earth break asunder, and the mountains crumble to dust. That they should ascribe a Son to the merciful, when it did not become Him to beget one.



JEWS AND CHRISTIANS ON THE FRONT LINE

As most will be aware, during August the BBC aired a number of programmes
focussing on Islam both in its history and in contemporary scene. There is
no doubt that these were superbly presented. The impression generally given
was that Islam, both historically and today, was a peaceful religion which
has given huge benefits to human history since its birth and which today
promises to benefit British society.

While it is true that there have been times when Christians and Jews have
lived more or less harmoniously within a Moslem society, and while it is
also true that there are today kind and thoughtful Muslims who do seek to
live peaceably with their non-Muslim neighbours, this is not the basic
fundamental nature of Islam. The fact is that intolerance with non-Muslims
is one of the basic tenets of Islam, and that whenever Islam seeks to return
to its foundational primitive framework, it returns at the same time to
intolerance and, using its own word, Jihad.

There are two aspects of contemporary Islam of which it will be good for
Christians today to be reminded.


THE DUTY OF JIHAD

One of the important features of Islam is that of Jihad, that is the
obligation to wage a holy war on 'unbelievers', mainly Jews and Christians.
This is plainly stated in various place in the Koran, and is a statement of
the militaristic aspect of Islam which was manifest in the years after
Muhammad,. The five 'pillars' or duties of Islam, are faith, prayer, zakah
(setting aside a proportion for those in need), fasting, and the Hajj
(pilgrimage to Mecca), Nevertheless, these pillars of Islam are not an end
in themselves but are explained to be the means to prepare and equip the
Muslim for Islam's ultimate purpose which is Jihad.

"The ultimate objective of Islam is to abolish the lordship of man over man
and bring him under the rule of the one God (Allah). To stake everything you
have - including your lives - to achieve this purpose is called Jihad.
Prayer, fasting, alms giving and pilgrimage, all prepare you for Jihad."
(Let us be Muslims Sayyid Abul A'la Mawdudi, The Islamic Foundation
(Leicester) 1985 page 285)

"If you believe Islam to be true, you have no alternative but to exert your
uttermost strength to make it prevail on earth: you either establish it or
give your lives in this struggle." (ibid)

One hundred years after the death of Muhammad the Islamic armies had pushed
as far as Poitiers in France, but were there beaten and turned back across
the Pyrenees. Despite this setback, within two centuries of Muhammad's death
Islam dominated the great sweep of territory from southern Spain to northern
India. The Muslims remained dominant in Spain for another seven centuries.
In contrast to other world religions, Islam is not only a religious system,
but also a social, political and legal system, and in its original form (a
form re-emerging today) demands from its followers total conformity in all
these areas.

For the orthodox Muslim Arab, Islam's history came to an end in 1258 with
the sack of Baghdad by the Mongols; in 1492 with the fall of Grenada and the
end of Moslem Spain; and in 1517 when the Turks conquered Egypt. Islam went
into a dark age in which it would stagnate for more than four centuries.
Certainly during this period Islam appeared to be a moderate religious
force, and indeed Jews, for example, enjoyed a reasonably secure existence
in Islamic countries.

The slumbering giant awoke in the early 1970s as a result of the 1973?74
oil?embargo, and has since resumed its inherent militant nature. One has
only to look at the behaviour of Islam, not only in the Middle-East where it
is manifesting an extreme fundamentalist nature through Hamas and other
factions, but also in North Africa where the Christians of Egypt (the Copts)
have been suffering extreme persecution, Sudan where countless thousands
have been brutally murdered, and other countries where similar difficulties
exist. Even in our own country we see a militant Islam on the move with the
building of mosques and an aggressive political attitude - unless it is
expedient to show an accommodating face. Thus, the Muslims are seeking to
build a huge mosque in the East End of London to be the largest in Europe.
The Islamic authorities have said that they want every house within a one
mile radius to be occupied by Muslims so that they can bring the whole area
under Islamic rule, despite th e fact that it includes some thriving
churches and the homes of many Christians. (Reported in PWM News Letter,
July 2001)

According to Islam the world is divided into two, the House of Islam and the
House of War. According to this scenario the Islamic world is committed to
wage war against those outside it until it submits to Islam. Such warfare
may be not only military but also political and religious. To Islam the word
"peace" means not our Western/Judeo-Christian idea of peace, that is
cooperative coexistence, but rather subjugation to Islam, and to lie and
deceive is a legitimate means to that end - despite the 'official'
explanation of Islam given for western consumption which says that "Islam is
the religion of peace: its meaning is peace.... If non-Muslims are peaceful
with the Muslims or even indifferent to Islam, there can be no justification
to interfere in their affairs or declare war on them. There is no religion
or constitution that guarantees peaceful freedom of religion and forbids
compulsion in religion except Islam." (Introducing Islam)

At a conference in 1968 at the influential al-Azhar University in Cairo,
Sheikh Abdullah Ghoshah, Supreme Judge of the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan,
in presenting a paper on Jihad, made some significant revelations: "Jihad is
legislated in order to be one of the means of propagating Islam.

Consequently non-Muslims ought to embrace Islam either willingly or through
wisdom and good advice, or unwillingly through fight and Jihad. Scholars lay
the foundation of the foreign policy of the Islamic states on the following
bases:

1.    It is unlawful to give up Jihad and adopt peace and weakness, unless
the purpose of giving up is for preparation, whenever there is something
weak among Muslims and their opponents are strong.

2.    War is the basis of the relationship between Muslims and their
opponents unless there are justifiable reasons for peace such as adopting
Islam or making an agreement with them to keep peaceful.

3.    The abode of Islam is the homeland which is subject to the rules of
Islam... The abode of war is the nation which is not subject to the rules of
Islam...

4.    Muslims are free to break their covenant with enemies if they are
uneasy lest the enemies should betray them ...
The Sheikh quoted two traditional authorities on Islam. From Al Tabarani:
"Lies are sins except when they are told for the welfare of a Moslem or for
saving him from disaster." From Ibn Al Arabi: Telling lies in war is
permitted so as to comfort the Muslims when they are in need of it as in the
time of fighting."

Sheikh Ghoshah concluded his address with an observation on arrogance:
"Allah, the Almighty, loves the Muslim to be arrogant when he is fighting as
it manifests that he is indifferent to his enemy and that he determines to
vanquish him." (Conference proceedings published by the Egyptian Government
Printing Office in 1970, in Arabic and English; quoted by John Laffin in The
Dagger of Islam, Sphere Books Ltd, London 1979, pp 54-55)

Thus, a peaceful moderate Islam is an historical anomaly and its true nature
is a militaristic conquering religion committed to the subjugation of all
other faiths, most particularly that of Jews and Christians.
'FIRST THE JEW, AND THEN THE CHRISTIAN'

It has become commonplace to equate Judaism Christianity and Islam by
referring to them as the three great monotheistic religions. The implication
then follows that all three are equally valid ways to God so that dialogue
between two of the three, or sometimes all three together, will lead to a
greater understanding of God's love for and way of life for men and women.
However, one of the key tenets of Islam is its denial of Jesus as the Son of
God, and indeed as God himself. The holiest site on earth is arguably the
Temple Mount in Jerusalem where possibly Abraham offered up Isaac, which
David purchased, and which ultimately became the site of the Second Temple,
and in a geographical sense the place where Jesus was crucified and buried.
Nevertheless inscribed on the Dome of the Rock, standing where it is
believed Abraham offered up Isaac (Ishmael according to the Koran), are
inscriptions seven hundred and thirty-four feet long in all, amongst the
lengthiest inscriptions in the world, including passages from the Koran
which all deny the sonship of Jesus. One of these says: "Do not say 'three'
and it will be better for you. Allah is only one God. Far be it from His
glory that he should have a son." This can almost be called the ultimate
example of blasphemy, and a focal point for Islam's opposition to the God of
Israel and His Messiah.

Contrary to the way the secular media generally portrays the Arab/Israeli
conflict, it is essentially a religious conflict which in fact has been
preached long before the current violence began. This preaching is not a
reaction to present violence but rather the motivating force behind it. The
Palestinian authority's religious world-view sees agreements with Israel as
inherently temporary, and war against Jews as an expression of Allah's will.
"Regrettably, the Christian world has not yet come to grips with the fact
that Israel is on the front line against a rapidly expanding wave of radical
Islamic fundamentalism which is in danger of engulfing the world. Militant
radical Islam views the Jewish state as a primal challenge to their religion
and vaunted manhood. It has been suggested that Israel and the Jews are
being used by Moslem leaders as the emotional short fuse to build up their
fighting courage and war-making capabilities. Predictably, if they achieve
their current goals of destroying Israel they will continue on against the
bastion of Christianity - Europe and America. For radical Islamists, this
will be their final battle but, in the interim, they invite Christian
nations to join them in their war against the Jews.

"Muslims have a saying: 'First the Saturday People; then the Sunday People'.
This two tiered war is already in motion as Arabs under the banner of Islam
have hurled themselves against Israel in six wars and continual terrorism,
alongside their attacking Christians in almost all Arab and/or Muslim lands.

*    Coptic Christians in Egypt - the largest Christian community in the
Middle East - are being systematically eliminated.

*    Sudanese Christians and animists are being annihilated. The policy of
Khartoum against the mostly Christian seven million Southern Sudanese is
increasing in violence and scope.

*    Christian Lebanese have been massacred in previous years by Arafat's
PLO. This broadening of oppression, which started in the early 1990s, has
reached an apex this past year with the resuming of abduction, torture and
jailing of hundreds Lebanese Christians and non-Christians, accused of being
either anti-Syrians or pro-Israeli.

*    In Iran, the Mullah regime, despite the leadership of pragmatic
President Khatemi, still maintains a religious apartheid system against the
non-Muslims, particularly the Christians and the Bahais. (MECHRIC:

*    Even Arab Christians in Bethlehem are being driven out or remain under
siege.

"Israel is the front line, defying Islam by thwarting their first goal of
eliminating Jews and their religion.

"The Christian world, in their own foremost interests, ought to be<br>vigorously supportive of the Jewish State of Israel as their best outer

Instead, the Western nations passively or otherwise support the Muslims
against Israel by their defence of the Palestinian cause and their failure

that in fact the Jews stand as defenders at the gates of civilisation."
