ISLAM ACCORDING TO THE FACTS
“And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free”
(John 8:21).
Islam is the sum of two parts: the teaching of the Koran and
what Muhammad said and did as found in “the traditions of the
Prophet Muhammad.” The purpose of this study is two-fold: to
prove that Islam is a violent religion, and that terrorists act upon
what Muhammad has said, done, and approved. An important point
to understand is that the Koran is what Muhammad says it is. The
Koran teaches: “Follow Muhammad and you will be successful in
the afterlife” (Koran 3:132). Terrorist killings, bombings, cutting
off heads, and marrying under-aged girls—these are examples of
what Muhammad did. To terrorists, these crimes are holy acts.
Muslims, the followers of Islam, believe that Muhammad is the
last prophet, being greater than Moses and Jesus Christ, whom they
accept as prophets. Muhammad is the key to understanding Islam
and Islamic terrorism.
Allah is the god of Islam. Evidence supports that Allah is the
moon-god, which would make Islam a Satanic religion because the
moon-god is an idol, and all idols are devils (Psalm 106:37). For
centuries, the moon-god was the god among the pagans of
Mesopotamia, including the Assyrians, Babylonians, and
Akkadians. At Mecca, the birthplace of Muhammad, the moongod was the chief idol among the 360 that were housed in the
Kabah (a polytheist sanctuary in ancient times per Britannica.com.)
“When Muhammad’s forces conquered Mecca in 630, he ordered
the destruction of the pagan idols housed in the shrine and ordered
it cleansed of all signs of polytheism. The Kaʿbah has since been
the focal point of Muslim piety” (Britannica.com). Since the idol
Allah was at Mecca, Muslims pray towards Mecca.
The Islamic symbol is the crescent moon that was inspired by
the one carved on the chest of the stone idol, Allah. The crescent
moon can be found on flags of Islamic nations. Sin was the name
of the moon-god, and Allah was his title. Allah means “the deity.”
To pagans, Allah was the greatest god of the 360 idol gods.
Muhammad elevated Allah from the greatest to the “only god.”
According to the Encyclopedia of Religion (ed. James Hastings,
Edinburgh, T & T Clark, 1908, 1:326), “‘Allah’ is a pre-Islamic
name… corresponding to the Babylonian Bel.” For a complete
study of Allah, go to www.biblebelievers.org.au/moongod.htm.
Allah and Jehovah are certainly not the same. Jehovah is the
Creator God, while Allah is an idol god.
The Bible cautions Christians to not worship heavenly bodies
(Deuteronomy 4:19; 17:2-3; 2 Kings 21:3, 5; Jeremiah 8:2, etc),
such as the moon-god in the case of Islam. A typical example is
from Deuteronomy 17:2-3, wherein God warns the Israelites not to
be found “Transgressing his covenant and hath gone and served
other gods, and worshipped them, either the sun, or moon, or any
of the host of heaven, which I have not commanded.” The moongod, being the god of Islam, violates God’s command to not
worship the heavenly bodies, making it a religion for Israelites to
avoid.
You will see that Islam is not a religion of peace and
forgiveness, but of war and violence, which is exactly what the
world has always seen. This study will explain why Islamic
leaders can read from the Koran verses of purporting peace, but
terrorists can read verses supporting war—jihad. A verse
prompting peace from Muhammad’s ministry at Mecca is found in
the Koran 2:109: “Many of the People of the Scripture (Bible) wish
they could turn you back to disbelief after you have believed, out of
envy from themselves (even) after the truth had become clear to
them. So pardon and overlook until Allah delivers His command.
Indeed, Allah is over all things competent.” A verse promoting
war/violence from Muhammad’s later ministry at Medina says this:
“Fight those who do not believe in Allah or in the Last Day and
who do not consider unlawful what Allah and His Messenger have
made unlawful and who do not adopt the religion of truth from
those who were given the Scripture (fight) until they give the jizyah
(tax) willingly while they are humbled” (Koran 9:29). Another:
“And fight them until there is no fitnah (heretical uprising) and
(until) the religion, all of it, is for Allah. And if they cease – then
indeed, Allah is seeing of what they do” (Koran 8:39). Knowing
the history of Muhammad will explain this dichotomy between
peace and war. In addition to the Koran, which is much smaller
book than the Bible, there are also the Sunnah and Hadith. These
books, of which there are many volumes, give “the traditions of the
prophet Muhammad.” Islam, then, is the sum total of the Koran
and “the traditions of the prophet Muhammad.”
Muslims rightly believe that the father of the Arabs is
Ishmael, the son of Abraham and Hagar. What is seen today with
the criminal activity of Islamic Arabs is the fulfillment of this
biblical prediction about them: “Ishmael…will be a wild man, his
hand will be against every man, and every man’s hand against
him” (Genesis 12:16). The fulfilling of this prophecy started with
Muhammad. According to Shakespeare, “What is past is
prologue” (Tempest). Therefore, this is a study of Muhammad
(570-633 AD), which is found in the Koran and “the traditions of
the prophet Muhammad.”
The Koran teaches that Muhammad is the best example for
Muslims to follow. This is the key to understanding Islam and
terrorism. Also, it teaches that Muhammad should be followed.
Allah said this: “In God’s messenger you have a fine model for
someone who looks forward to (meeting) God and the Last Day,
and mentions God frequently” (Koran 33:21). Solomon Nigosian,
an Egyptian who moved to Canada and lived as a professing
Christian, said this: “For more than thirteen hundred years
Muslims have modeled their lives after their prophet Muhammad.
They awaken every morning as he awakened; they eat as he ate;
they wash as he washed; and they behave even in the minutest acts
of daily life as he behaved” (source, DVD on Islam by Randall
Terry, Islamic Scholar).
While at Mecca in AD 610, Muhammad believed he received
from God, through the angel Gabriel, revelations that would one
day form Islam. These revelations were preceded by dreams,
which are reported to have been fulfilled in Muhammad’s life prior
to Gabriel’s revelations. For three years after these revelations,
Muhammad preached the Islamic message only to his family. It is
important to know that that Mecca was a pagan-religious center.
Everyone was pagan. By his account, he was told by Allah, to go
public with the Islamic doctrine. The pagans did not like his
message, however, as they viewed it a threat to their idols (360 of
them) and to the lucrative pilgrimage business that came to Mecca,
where their idols were housed in the Kabah.
With the Islamic message being unpopular among the
pagans, even to the point where they desired to kill him, he fled to
Medina with his small following, hoping for a more receptive
people there. Initially, they were receptive; but that quickly
changed. When Muhammad learned of a large caravan of valuable
goods coming from Syria, he decided to attack it, which would
hurt the pagan trade, and take the booty with a ragtag army of
about 300 untrained men. This resulted in the battle of Badr (AD
624), which led to the turning point in the life and ministry of
Muhammad. When the caravan leaders learned of the plot, they, in
turn, organized an army of about 1,000 men and 200 horses. The
situation appeared hopeless for Muhammad because he was out
numbered three to one in men, plus the horses the opposition had.
Surprise! Muhammad’s men won the battle. He and his men
believed that God had blessed them with victory by sending angels
to cut off heads with swords. Thus, Muslims’ practice of cutting
off heads has come from the Badr victory, in which Muhammad
and his men believe they saw angels cutting off the heads of the
enemy.
The Badr victory inspired Muhammad to believe his message
was right and that Allah was with him. Badr sparked warfare as
the means Muhammad would use to inspire conversions to Islam.
Post Bahr began a worldwide movement of Islam with the murder
of countless of thousands by sword, then the gun that continues
today. Koran 8:12-14 gives insight: “So your Lord inspired the
angels: ‘I am with you, so brace those who believe. I shall cast
panic into the hearts of those who disbelieve; so to strike the nape
of their necks and beat every (last) fingertip of theirs. That is
because they have split off from God and His messenger. Anyone
who splits off from God and His messenger (will find out) that God
is stern in punishment. That is (how it is), so taste it; disbelievers
will have fiery torment.’” It can be gleaned from this Koran
passage that to oppose Muhammad is to oppose Allah. This, then,
leads to Islam being what Muhammad says it is. To bring the
world to Allah by violence is the method Muhammad chose to
advance Islam. Understand that though there are good, peaceful
Muslims, Islam is a religion of violence and evil. Simply
speaking, it is Satanic. Another Koran teaching that elevates
Muhammad as the person to follow in order to be a true Muslim is
Koran 9:80: “He who obeys the Messenger has obeyed Allah.”
“Abrogation” must be understood to comprehend Islam and
terrorist activity. Recall that Muhammad’s message began as
peaceful and forgiving and lasted until the battle of Badr, which
was near Medina; then, Muhammad chose violence to promote
Islam. According to Randall Terry (Islamic scholar), Louay
Fatoohi, a Muslim author, made this statement: “The latter, then,
are seen as the rulings that shall be followed by Muslims.” What
this means is that the last things said and done by Muhammad
replace those things said and done earlier in his ministry. Violence
is the latter message, while peaceful activity is the former. This is
abrogation. Mecca was the peaceful time and Medina the violent
time. Surah 16:101: “Whenever we shift a verse from its context in
favor of another verse …SAY: ‘The Holy Spirit has brought it
down as Truth from your Lord.’” A Muslim Brotherhood slogan
confirms that Muhammad’s ways are their ways: "God is our
objective. The Prophet is our leader. The Qur'an is our law. Jihad
is our way. Dying in the way of God is our highest hope. God is
greater!” (Wikipedia). Essentially, it is understood that
Muhammad divided the world into two divisions: the “house of
war,” which would be the land of the infidel, and the “house of
Islam,” the land of Shariah law. Violence is the tool used to inspire
the infidel to become Muslim or else be killed.
You may have noticed that mocking and insulting
Muhammad are punishable by death. This is because that is what
Muhammad did to Ka’b ibn al-Ashraf after the battle of Badr.
Ka’b had been mocking Muhammad, so one of Muhammad’s men
cut off Ka’b’s head at the command of Muhammad. Further, those
in Mecca who had mocked him earlier in his ministry suffered
death also. Because this is what Muhammad did, terrorists
following his example killed Theo Van Gogh. He produced a short
film critical of the Muslim treatment of women. Of course,
Muhammad mistreated women, allowing his men to rape them, for
example. Charlie Hebdo was also killed for publishing twelve
cartoons of the Prophet Muhammad. Muslim scholars support
such violence. Muslim scholar Taymiyya states, “Furthermore,
more than one scholar conveyed the unanimous agreement of
Muslim scholars that whoever insults or degrades the Messenger
of Allah (peace be upon him) is a Kafir (unbeliever) that should be
killed”(Fatwas of Ibn Baz, Part # 6, p. 254).
Muhammad targeted forty-three situations for killing
(wikiislam.net) during his lifetime. Ka’b was one individual of the
forty-three. In a group killing, wikiislam.net gives this account:
“Attack Banu Qurayza because according to Muslim tradition he
had been ordered to do so by the angel Gabriel. One of
Muhammad's companions decided that ‘the men should be killed,
the property divided, and the women and children taken as
captives.’ Muhammad approved of the ruling, calling it similar to
God's judgment, after which all male members of the tribe who had
reached puberty were beheaded.” Between 600 and 900 nonMuslim men were beheaded in this attack (627 AD).
When Muhammad’s wife died at Mecca, he married a fiveyear old girl. While living in Medina, he consummated the
marriage when she was nine. This is a pattern for Muslims to
follow as a believer in Islam. Some Muslims would go to battle to
capture a female as a concubine slave. One of Muhammad’s men
had nineteen slave girls. Thus, for ISIS members to rape Jewish
and Christian women is a holy practice because per Allah,
Muhammad is the one to follow.
Some of the Christian world does not understand the Islamic
world. Jerry Falwell, Jr., President and Chancellor of Liberty
University, recently encouraged students to apply for concealed
weapons permits to protect themselves from terrorist attack. This
advice is wise and shows understanding of the situation. He also
said, “I’ve always thought that if more good people had
concealed-carry permits, then we could end those Muslims before
they walked in…and kill them.” But Falwell’s statement did not
set well with Wheaton College student leadership. According to a
Chicago Tribune article by Manya Pashman (Dec 11), the “end
those Muslims” comment angered a coalition of student leaders of
Wheaton College. By open letter, they chided Falwell by saying,
“While these sorts of remarks epitomize the ever-growing fear and
hostility directed toward Muslims, we as Evangelical Christians
hold that Christ calls us not to react to religious oppression or
violence—instead, we have the responsibility to live out fearless
love in order to pursue unity. We, therefore, reject the ideology
espoused by chancellor Falwell in his recent remarks to the
Liberty student body, and we invite you to stand in solidarity with
our Muslim brothers and sisters who share our human dignity.”
These misguided, biblically ignorant students cannot discern
between a personal enemy and God’s enemy. Islam is the enemy of
Jehovah God and does not qualify for believers of Islam to be
called “our Muslim brothers and sisters who share our human
dignity” (Pashman). These students obviously know nothing of
Islam. They apparently do not know of the many Muslim terrorist
attacks and killing innocent people by gun and beheadings. Truth:
since Muhammad, Islam has no respect for human dignity—
period! Sadly, these future Christian leaders do not have wise
leaders over them to give biblical guidance. For example,
according to Wheaton College administrators, “We are grateful
that our emerging leaders are encouraging other Christians to
treat and to speak about our Muslim neighbors in loving and
respectful ways” (Pashman).
World Net Daily (01/30/2012) reported in an article titled
“New Bible Yanks ‘Father,’ Jesus as ‘Son of God,’’’ that Wycliffe
Bible translators have produced a Muslim-friendly bible. In this
bible, terms that may be offense to Muslims have either been
altered or removed. References to God as “Father,” “Jesus as the
Son,” or “the Son of God” are examples. Matthew 28:19 reads in
the Muslim-friendly bible like this: “cleanse them by water in the
name of Allah, his Messiah and his Holy Spirit.” Blasphemy.
This can only happen when Christians do not understand the Word
or live by it if they do understand. True biblically literate
Christians know that the Bible teaches this: “Ye shall not add
unto the word which I command you, neither shall ye diminish
ought from it” (Deuteronomy 4:2).
Fortunately, not all Christian leaders have their heads in a
hole. Tex Marrs states that Islam is not peace loving. He also has
stated this: “Moslems worship the devil. They call him Allah”
(Pastors and Churches Gone Wild, p. 176). Pastor Robert Jeffress
(First Baptist Church, Dallas, TX) in an article found in
ChristianHeadlines.com by V. Neffinger, said this truth concerning
remarks he made after the Paris shootings: “I believe that it is time
for us to lay aside political correctness and identify the belief
system that is responsible for these horrific acts. And that is the
evil, evil religion of radial Islam. …Government is put in place by
God…to execute justice and protect its citizens…The Quran
commands destruction of the infidels 35 times…Muhammad, the
founder of Islam was a ‘Prince of war’ who killed
thousands…Islam is a false religion, and it is inspired by Satan
himself…These terrorists were not acting in opposition to the
teaching of Islam. They were acting according to the teaching of
Islam.”
This study has sought to expose Islam as a terrorist religion
wherein terrorists do what Muhammad, the founder of Islam, did.
It has been shown that Muhammad killed those who mocked him,
married young girls, used the sword to kill the enemy, and spread
Islam by sword to require submission. Islam is a terrorist religion.
