The Agenda of Islam - A War Between Civilizations

This is a partial post from Professor Moshe Sharon who teaches Islamic History at the Hebrew University, Jerusalem. It's a long read but well worth it. Full article HERE


By Professor Moshe Sharon
(TI)
The war has started a long time ago between two civilizations - between the civilization based on the Bible and between the civilization based on the Koran. And this must be clear.

There is no Fundamental Islam. (<--------- BINGO! )
Fundamentalism is a word that came from the heart of the Christian religion. It means faith that goes by the word of the Bible. Fundamental Christianity, or going with the Bible, does not mean going around and killing people. There is no fundamental Islam.
There is only Islam full stop.

The question is how the Koran is interpreted.

All of a sudden we see that the greatest interpreters of Islam are politicians in the western world. They know better than all the speakers in the mosques, all those who deliver terrible sermons against anything that is either Christian or Jewish. These western politicians know that there is good Islam and bad Islam. They know even how to differentiate between the two,
except that none of them know how to read a word of Arabic.

The Language of Islam
You see, so much is covered by politically correct language that, in fact, the truth has been lost. For example, when we speak about Islam in the west, we try to use our own language and terminology. We speak about Islam in terms of democracy and fundamentalism, in terms of parliamentarism and all kinds of terms, which we take from our own dictionary. One of my professors and one of the greatest orientalists in the world says that doing this is like a cricket reporter describing a cricket game in baseball terms. We cannot use for one culture or civilization the language of another. For Islam, you've got to use the language of Islam.

This is such a well written piece in my opinion. We as "The West", must change our mindset on how we think and speak about issues in the Arab world, especially when dealing with Islam.

Pope prays with cleric at Turkey mosque




ISTANBUL, Turkey —

Pope Benedict XVI prayed alongside an Islamic cleric in Turkey's most famous mosque Thursday in a dramatic gesture of outreach to Muslims after outrage from the pontiff's remarks linking violence and the teachings of the Prophet Muhammad.

The pope bowed his head and closed his eyes for nearly a minute inside the Blue Mosque after Mustafa Cagrici, the head cleric of Istanbul, said: "Now I'm going to pray."

As the pope left the famous 17th century mosque, the pope turned to Cagrici and thanked him "for this moment of prayer," the Italian news agency ANSA reported.

"This visit will help us find together the way of peace for the good of all humanity," the pope said during only the second papal visit to a Muslim place of worship. Benedict's predecessor, John Paul II, visited a mosque in Syria in 2001.
The mosque visit was added to Benedict's schedule as a "sign of respect" during his first papal trip to a Muslim nation, the Rev. Federico Lombardi, the Vatican spokesman, said last week.

This is insanity on so many levels it's sickening. Muslims were outraged at the Pope connecting violence to Islam..... In response the Muslims rampaged in the streets burning, ranting , acting in a non peaceful manner. History shows that Islam is full of violence. The Koran shows that Islam is full of violence. I am sure the Pope is an educated man, so how can he deny history and the direct teachings of Mohammed ?

I have an idea of what is going on. We (the Pope and everyone else that is scared to speak the truth) are trying to appease the very same people that want us dead. To text that Mohammed was a very violent man, is not hate speach, IT IS FACT ! It is not hate speach to say violence and Islam go hand in hand, IT IS FACT ! To say that violence and Islam are not connected would be like saying beheading and Islam are not connected.

WAKE UP. The books are out there, the information. Reading the Islamic teachings (Koran / Hadiths ) is not rocket science. (Although the Muslims have probably told you different.) If you are still under the impression Islam is peaceful, to be blunt, you are either ignorant, or dead.

ISLAM: WHAT THE WEST NEEDS TO KNOW

By J. Grant Swank, Jr.MichNews.com

"What the West Needs to Know" is a documentary consisting of original interviews, citations from Islamic texts, Islamic artwork, computer-animated maps, footage of Western leaders, and Islamic TV broadcasts.

The tone of the presentation is sober, methodical and compelling.

The focus is on Islam as being violent, the major threat against the non-Muslim world.

The producers state: "Virtually every major Western leader has over the past several years expressed the view that Islam is a peaceful religion and that those who commit violence in its name are fanatics who misinterpret its tenets.
This claim, while widely circulated, rarely attracts serious public examination.
"Relying primarily on Islam’s own sources, this documentary demonstrates that Islam is a violent, expansionary ideology that seeks the destruction or subjugation of other faiths, cultures, and systems of government."

Islam, in other words, is a killing cult. Its so-called holy book, the Koran, is replete with killing and maiming passages. The Koran’s deity, Allah, dictates that his disciples eradicate from the planet all non-Muslims, thereby yielding the Islam world rule.

Presently that is the ambition of every Muslim in the world. Even the so-called benign Muslims are truly aligned with the same Koran as the Islamic murderers advocate. If Muslims are cowardly in the face of slaying non-Muslims, those Muslim renegades will be slain as well.

In other words, all Muslims must be true to Allah’s intention of wiping out infidels from the planet. There is no other choice. That is the prime aim of that cult.

The documentary writers state: "We hear from prominent Western leaders that Islam is peaceful and that those who commit violence in its name are heterodox fanatics."

In answer to that, the presentation offers the following critical information:

Part 1: ‘There is no God but Allah and Muhammad is his Prophet’
"Our interviewees affirm their belief that Islamic violence is entirely orthodox behavior for Muslims and stems directly from the teachings and example of the Prophet Muhammad and the commands of the Koran. We learn that the example of Muhammad is one of a violent warlord who killed numerous people. The Koran – the verbatim words of Allah – prescribes violence against non-Muslims and Muhammad is the perfect example of the Koran in action.

Part 2: The Struggle
"We learn that jihad, while literally meaning 'struggle', in fact denotes war fought against non-Muslims in order to bring the rule of Islamic law to the world. Violent death in jihad is, according to the Koran, the only assurance of salvation. One of our interviewees tells of his personal involvement in terrorism and of his conversion to Christianity.

Part 3: Expansion
"Following the death of Muhammad, his 'rightly-guided' successors carried his wars to three continents, fighting, enslaving, and massacring countless Christians, Jews, and Zoroastrians. Islam did not spread through evangelism or through its natural appeal, but through aggressive wars of conquest. The Crusades were largely a belated response on the part of Christian Europe to rescue Christians in the Holy Land suffering under Muslim oppression. The Muslim world today, while no longer the unified empire of the Caliphs, is exceptional for being responsible for the vast majority of conflicts around the world and for almost all of international terrorism.

Part 4: ‘War is Deceit’
"A great problem with Western efforts to understand Islam is due to the Islamic principle of 'religious deception', which enjoins Muslims to deceive non-Muslims in order to advance the cause of Islam. Muslim groups today in the West employ deception and omission to give the impression that 'Islam is a religion of peace', an utter fiction.

Part 5: More than a Religion
"The most important characteristic of Islam not understood by the West is that it is more a system of government than a personal religion. Unlike Christianity, Islam has never recognized a distinction between the religious and the secular/political. Islamic law governs every aspect of religious, political, and personal action, which amounts to a form of totalitarianism that is divinely enjoined to dominate the world, analogous in many ways to Communism.

Part 6: The House of War
"Islamic theology divides the world into two spheres locked in perpetual combat, dar al-Islam (House of Islam - where Islamic law predominates), and dar al-harb (House of War - the rest of the world).
It is incumbent on dar al-Islam to fight and conquer dar al-harb and permanently assimilate it.
Muslims in Western nations are called to subvert the secular regimes in which they now live in accordance with Allah's command.
Due to political correctness and general government and media irresponsibility, the danger posed by observant Muslims in the West remains largely unappreciated."

Merry Christmas

I have not posted for a while, due to moving, working etc. We are still living in a f.e.m.a mobile home, but hopefully by December we will be in a real brick house. I miss posting , I miss reading Pastor Swank's articles even more ! It's great that he has the courage to just tell it like it is without all the p.c. slant.

Well it seems our Muslim friends are at it again. Seems that the Pope has stirred up things in Turkey. Muslims are still claiming that Islam is really T.R.O.P. (The religion of peace), and they plan on proving this by rioting in the streets, burning effigies, chanting "Death to the Pope, Death to America, etc."

One would think that making us foolish kafirs believe that Islam is peaceful is to actually act in a peaceful and dignified manner.

And of course the Saints could also win the SuperBowl as well....

Funny how every time a Muslim says "Islam is peaceful", body parts start flying about. Some things just never change.

Merry Christmas.



Jeff Davis

Thought for the day.

Since Muslims are murdering even Muslims, around the planet,

how do you think they would deal with the infidels if they had the chance?

These devoted followers of Muhammad would deal with the infidels exactly the way Muhammad did: behead the non-believers, take them as slaves to hold or sell, or make them pay back-breaking jizyeh - poll taxes.

IRAQ WAR LOSS RATIONALE

J. Grant Swank, Jr.

Democracies will not win the war because Islam is a force that does not mesh with personal freedoms. There is no Islamic democracy in existence.

Islamic countries are ruled politically by the Koran, not a parliament-type politic.

Islam’s Koran encourages its devotees to slaughter one another in attempts to slaughter non-Muslims; therefore, daily slaughter will continue in Iraq until the last Muslim is dead. That means that non-Muslim democracy troops will never win the war for there will never come the time when there are no extremist Muslims in Iraq.

Islam is regarded by many as a religion; however, because its basic tenets decree the slaughter of non-devotees many non-Muslim theologians conclude Islam is more a killing cult than a religion among world religions.

No other world religion demands that those not devotees be slain; Islam demands that via the Koran.

There is no guarantee in Iraq that the citizenry will abide by parliament’s laws, even if they were democracy-based. However, there is a strong contingent even in parliament demanding that laws conform to the Islamic sharia "legal and justice system," not the time-honored, traditional democracy-base.

Street gangs rule Iraq more than elected officials. Street gangs align with the Koran’s paragraphs demanding slaying non-Muslims, also killing Muslims who may be in the way of slaying non-Muslims.

As to Islamic extremists reaching out to destroy democracies if multinational troops leave Iraq too quickly, Muslim sleeper cells are already housed in democracies worldwide. Sleeper cells don’t exist for peace; they exist for Islam World Rule.

If multinational troops do not win the Iraqi war for personal freedoms, there will be a bloodbath. But now there is a daily bloodbath. Non-Muslims are being slain. Troops are being slain. The killing increases, not decreases. Execution-style killings preceded by unbelievable torture are daily occurrences. They will continue for it is the "Muslim way" via Islamic extremists.

If an in-depth theological study of Islam had been made by the United States prior to Operation Iraqi Freedom, America and aligned nations would have realized that Islam is by no stretch of the imagination a "religion of peace." Yet that was voiced repeatedly by democracy leaders. That reveals the naivete of these leaders.

Further, the leaders’ naivete was expressed in such statements by President George W. Bush when he repeatedly stated that there was no reason why Muslims should not enjoy personal freedoms such as the citizens of the United States. That was a gracious reach-out on the part of Mr. Bush, but it did not line up with Islamic reality.

Now the free country leaders realize Islam basically is a force of "death and destruction," to use President Bush’s terms. He no longer refers to Islam as a "religion of peace." Nor does British PM Tony Blair.

Before a free country moves its military into another country, it would be prudent for its leaders to study the country’s major religion to conclude whether the religion controls the country or is a compartment among other compartments.

Further, such a study will show whether the so-called religion is actually a religion among world religions or a killing cult.

What Operation Iraqi Freedom has shown the free countries is that Judeo-Christian heritages have formed democracies. For instance, wherever the British Empire stretched around the world, it planted churches, Bibles, worship of Christ as Redeemer, personal accountability before an Eternal Judge, an afterlife of heaven or hell, and the biblical ethic.

It is the Judeo-Christian heritage that best formulates a personal freedom culture. The Judeo-Christian holy writ, the Bible, lays out morality bases for establishing laws, justice, education, family, marriage, community, medical assistance and generic hope.

In Judeo-Christian heritage countries the biblical message of compassion has been worked out in establishing colleges, schools, hospitals, clinics, dispensaries, churches, shelters for the poor, programs for the destitute, caring apparatuses for the less fortunate and more.

These taken-for-granted expressions of Christian compassion are missing in non-Judeo-Christian heritage countries. This is particularly so in Islamic countries.

There the sharia "legal system" is honored. This system demands "honor killing," demeaning of females from birth till death, male dominance in the culture, lashing youths at public poles, burying adultery-accused in dirt up to the neck followed by bashing in the head via stones, the sizes prescribed in the Koran, as well as genital mutilation of young females.

This barbarism is not tolerated in Judeo-Christian heritage countries because of the biblical morality ensconced therein.
Free country leaders assumed the Judeo-Christian heritage base would be transferable to Iraqis once Saddam Hussein was toppled.


Now they realize such transference is impossible because Iraqi society is governed by a cultic Islam, not a democracy-based understanding of government.

Interestingly enough, Judeo-Christian heritage countries have taken this heritage so for granted over time that their leaders have assumed naively that such a grand heritage will be adopted by any other nation simply by its citizenry "seeing the light."

Iraqis are not in the mood to "see the light" of Judeo-Christianity. In fact, this is the heritage most despised. Therefore, there will be no democracy plant in Iraq.

The democracy-based multinational forces will not win the war there because of the nature of the country’s wedding to Islam as politic.

MR. BUSH, PLEASE REMOVE THE KORAN FROM THE WHITE HOUSE

Theologically speaking, to hell with the United States Congress. That’s where it’s headed with the immoral Dems in control. Nevertheless, the cowardly Reps did nothing to help the Red States grassroots.

However, today I’m going shopping for Christmas gifts. And as far as I personally am concerned, that’s the top of my American agenda. So be it. I feel that a lot of other patriotic citizens are about to meander something akin to that little errand, also. Good for them.
As for the President of this nation, I wonder if he has now learned to remove the demonic hex in his own White House.


Last Christmastide he ensconced in the White House library the devil’s book — the Koran. There it is on the shelf. No doubt no one has bothered to lift it from its tidy place. Nevertheless, there sits the demon inside hardback covers.

Mr. Bush once called Islam "a peace religion." With that, he invited Muslim heads from across the nation into the White House for a celebrative meal — men with Mr. Bush in one room while Mrs. Bush met with women in another room. Laudatory remarks on behalf of Islam were naively made by Mr. Bush and so forth and so forth.

...................................

Mr. Bush envisioned an easy slide over of Judeo-Christian heritage into Muslim land so that those released from Hussein insanity could rejoice heavenward. Didn’t happen. Won’t happen.
Mr. Bush envisioned a Judeo-Christian heritage democracy plant in a killing zone baptized by Allah’s dictates. Didn’t happen. Won’t happen.

But back to the White House library edition of the Koran: Mr. Bush, start by throwing that book in the dumpster. Now. It is haunting your abode. It is power laden for the bad. It is jinxing your dwelling.

Got it? No. I don’t think you do.

And what’s more: No one in the new Dem Congerss gets it either.

How far America has strayed from its Judeo-Chrsitian heritage.

And with that stray goes our democracy base?

TRUTH ABOUT MOHAMMED

The cult from hell.


TRUTH RE MOHAMMED: RAPE, MURDER, MOLESTATION, BEHEADING
J. Grant Swank, Jr.


TRUTH RE MOHAMMED: RAPE, MURDER, MOLESTATION, BEHEADING

Mohammed was “a psychopath (with) Allah (as) nothing but his own alter ego,” according to Ali Sina, ex-Muslim, webmaster of FaithFreedom.org. Visit http://www.faithfreedom.org/index.htm .

Islam’s prophet Mohammed (various spellings are given to his name, some being “Muhammad”) was the David Koresh and Jim Jones of his time.

Mohammed’s Allah’s religious activism prescribed for his disciples? “Fighting is prescribed for you. . .it is good for you.” Koran 2:216.

That is the baseline of Islam: killing, fighting, slaying, murdering, slaughtering,, leveling, conquering, overcoming for the bloodletting. The baseline includes Muslim slaying Muslim such as in “honor killing”—slitting the Muslim female’s throat if Muslim males conclude she has dishonored the clan.

Read the daily news to see the killing cult enveloping the globe. Millions upon millions are in this marching “Islam world rule” army.

They threaten every democracy.

And who is Allah? Allah is Satan for he is the antipathy to the Bible’s loving God. When analyzing the Koran’s god, one discovers the devil as described in the Bible: “father of lies,” murderer, hater, insane, King of the Pit, Beelzebub, “that old snake,” the Book of Revelation’s “dragon,” overseer of the lake of fire and brimstone.

Mohammed was “a psychopath (with) Allah (as) nothing but his own alter ego,” according to Ali Sina.

“Muhammad invented this bugaboo deity to fool people and ride them. Allah is no god. Muhammad was a deranged man. He concocted this whole lie to fool people.

He was no different from Charles Manson.

“Muhammad was a ruthless man and a false prophet. He made people hate each other. He divided them so he could conquer them.

He separated sons from their fathers and daughters from their mothers and even encouraged them to kill their own fathers and brothers if they do not submit to his sick claim.
