VIOLENT AND HATEFUL ISLAM IS AT IT AGAIN – READ THE EVIDENCE FROM THE WORLD NEWS: {ISLAM DOES NOT BELIEVE IN LOVE OF OTHERS AND/OR RELIGIOUS FREEDOM.] ISIS AND OTHER MEMBERS OF iSLAM have vowed to wipe out the Yazidis. Who are they?The ancient religious group, concentrated in Iraq, have been targeted for extermination by the so-called 'Islamic State' that seized a number of towns along the Iraq-Syrian border this week.The arrival of the self-styled "Islamic State" (IS) in the northern Iraqi town of Sinjar over the weekend sent the native religious minority fleeing. Yazidis, labeled by IS (formerly theIslamic State of Iraq and the Levant, ISIS) "devil worshippers," have a long history of persecution. Forty Yazidi children were reported killed and reports of forced conversions and murders have now emerged. A Yazidi parliamentarianfleeing northernIraq told the Washington Post, “In our history, we have suffered 72 massacres. We are worried Sinjar could be a 73rd.” The Sinjar area, near the border with Syria, is strategically important for IS, just 50 miles from Mosul. The United Nations has said close to 200,000 have fled the area, calling it a “humanitarian tragedy.” Recommended: The mother of all quizzes: How much do you know about US-Iraq relations?WHO ARE THE YAZIDIS? Yazidis (sometimes spelled Yezidis), belong to an ethno-religious group which predates Islam and has roots in Zoroastrianism, an monotheistic religion that developed in ancient Persia around 1,500 BC. Yazidis have been described as a “Kurdish heterodox group," meaning that they're ethnic Kurds, but outside the mainstream of the community and culture. Over time they have incorporated aspects of Christianity, Islam, and Judaism into their beliefs. Much of the faith remains shrouded in mystery, with outsiders not allowed to convert and believers not willing to share details of their rituals. Yazidis are found mostly in northern Iraq, Iran, Syria, and Turkey, with a smaller population in the Caucasus. The exact size of the Yazidi population is unknown, but estimates run as high as 600,000 (although with violence in Iraq in recent years the number is most likely lower). Many Yazidis have immigrated to Europe, where their religious beliefs have made headlines for incidents like the honor killing of a Yazidi woman who was dating a German man. Germany has one of the largest Yazidi populations in Europe. Traditionally, the Yazidi religion does not allow Yazidis to marry outside the faith. Most Yazidis speak Kurmanji, northern Kurdish, and it is the language used for passing on religious traditions. WHAT ARE THEIR BELIEFS? Yazidis believe in one God and worship seven angels. Melek Taus, known as the Peacock Angel, plays the most important role. Worship of the Peacock Angel is where the label “devil worshipper” stems from. Christianity and Islam view the Peacock Angel as a fallen angel or devil for refusing to bow before Adam. Yazidis interpret this as a test of the Peacock Angel's [url= ,+Culture+and+Religion&hl=en&sa=X&ei=geHfU_mnGorfsASO8oDgCw&ved=0CB4Q6AEwAA#v=onepage&q=The%20Yezidis%3A%20The%20History%20of%20a%20Community%2C%20Culture%20and%20Religion&f=false]commitment to God[/url] and see the Peacock Angel as the chief of God's angels. According to reports, Yazidis pray three times a day, always facing the direction of the sun. Yazidi society is organized in a caste system with divisions between clerics and laymen. There are taboos against wearing blue and eating lettuce, but like many aspects of Yazidi belief, it remains unclear if these are always closely followed.In the 12th century, Abi ibn Musafir led a Yazidi revival - in some ways he founded the version of the faith that's persisted since - and his tomb at Lalish in northern Iraq has become a sacred spot. Many Yazidis who have fled from Sinjar are seeking shelter there.WHEN AND WHY HAVE THEY BEEN TARGETED?Yazidis have been mislabeled “devil worshippers,” which has led to their persecution over the centuries. In the 1800s, Ottoman troops carried out many killings of the Yazidis. Under Saddam Hussein, many of their villages were destroyed in fighting against Kurdish groups.In recent years, pressure on Yazidis to convert to Islam has mounted. In 2007 the Islamic State of Iraq, the group that evolved into the current incarnation of IS, issued a fatwa that all Yazidis should be killed. This prompted around 70,000 Yazidis to flee Iraq. That same year more than 500 Yazidis were killed when two trucks with explosives destroyed two villages. In another case, 23 Yazidis were killed in reprisal for an honor killing of a Yazidi woman who had converted to Islam. Gunmen stopped a bus and had all Christian passengers disembark. They later killed all of the Yazidis. The son of the Yazidis spiritual leader, Baba Sheikh, told the New York Times, “Everyone considers us infidels. Sunnis and Shiites are killing each other even though they are both Muslims, so imagine what they will do to us, people from a completely different religion.” [source - retrived from on 8/5/2014]

IMMIGRANTS ARE BOTH GOOD AND BAD – ISOLATIONIST IMMIGRANTS THAT TEACH HATE AND A DISRESPECT OT THE PERSON AND PROPERTY OF PEOPLE OF OTHER RELIGIONS RUIN COUNTRIES: INTRODUCTION: They believe in hate and disrespect of others and even want to take over their lands and put an unjust tax on them for NOT being Muslims and/or kill them. Think this is not so, they even codify this wickedness and hate in their Quran and refuse to remove it. Here are two examples direct from the Quran: Sura (9:29) - "Fight those who believe not in Allah nor the Last Day, nor hold that forbidden which hath been forbidden by Allah and His Messenger, nor acknowledge the religion of Truth, (even if they are) of the People of the Book, until they pay the Jizya with willing submission, and feel themselves subdued." <<[[This refers to Christians, Hindus, Jews, Sieks, etc. that do not become Muslims]]>> Sura (2:191-193) - "And slay them wherever ye find them, and drive them out of the places whence they drove you out, for persecution [of Muslims] is worse than slaughter [of non-believers]...and fight them until persecution is no more, and religion is for Allah." <<[[This refers to Christians, Hindus, Jews, Sieks, etc. that do not become Muslims. NOTE, There is a good case to be made that the overall context of these verses is defensive war, however, there are two worrisome pieces to this passage. The first is that the killing of others is authorized in the event of "persecution." The second is that fighting may persist until "religion is for Allah."]]>> Please check and you will find this is the absolute truth. They teach this hateful wickedness at home and in their mosques, BUT NEVER SHOULD PUBLIC FUNDS BE GIVEN TO ESTABLISH MUSLIM FAITH BASED SCHOOLS so they can teach this hateful wickedness. See APPENDIX to see more Suras (scriptures) from the Quran supporting this wicked hatefulness of others. EXPOSURE OF THE EVIL OF ISLAMIC IMMIGRANTS AND HOW THEY RUIN COUNTRIES AND CIVILIZATION BY GEERT WILDER A MEMBER OF THE DUTCH PARLIAMENT:
This Will Give You Cold Chills!
Geert Wilders is a Member of the Dutch Parliament.
In a generation or two, the US will ask itself: "Who lost Europe ?" Here is the speech of Geert Wilders, Chairman, Party for Freedom the Netherlands , at the Four Seasons in New York , introducing an Alliance of Patriots and announcing the Facing Jihad Conference in Jerusalem ..
Dear friends,
Thank you very much for inviting me.
I come to America with a mission. All is not well in the old world. There is a tremendous danger looming, and it is very difficult to be optimistic. We might be in the final stages of the Islamization of Europe. This not only is a clear and present danger to the future of Europe itself, it is a threat to America and the sheer survival of the West. The United States as the last bastion of Western civilization, facing an Islamic Europe.
First, I will describe the situation on the ground in Europe . Then, I will say a few things about Islam. To close I will tell you about a meeting in Jerusalem .
The Europe you know is changing.
You have probably seen the landmarks. But in all of these cities, sometimes a few blocks away from your tourist destination, there is another world. It is the world of the parallel society created by Muslim mass-migration.
All throughout Europe a new reality is rising: entire Muslim neighborhoods where very few indigenous people reside or are even seen. And if they are, they might regret it. This goes for the police as well. It's the world of head scarves, where women walk around in figureless tents, with baby strollers and a group of children. Their husbands, or slaveholders if you prefer, walk three steps ahead. With mosques on many street corners. The shops have signs you and I cannot read. You will be hard-pressed to find any economic activity. These are Muslim ghettos controlled by religious fanatics. These are Muslim neighborhoods, and they are mushrooming in every city across Europe . These are the building-blocks for territorial control of increasingly larger portions of Europe , street by street, neighborhood by neighborhood, city by city.
There are now thousands of mosques throughout Europe . With larger congregations than there are in churches. And in every European city there are plans to build super-mosques that will dwarf every church in the region. Clearly, the signal is: we rule.
Many European cities are already one-quarter Muslim: just take Amsterdam , Marseille and Malmo in Sweden . In many cities the majority of the under-18 population is Muslim. Paris is now surrounded by a ring of Muslim neighborhoods. Mohammed is the most popular name among boys in many cities.
In some elementary schools in Amsterdam the farm can no longer be mentioned, because that would also mean mentioning the pig, and that would be an insult to Muslims.
Many state schools in Belgium and Denmark only serve halal food to all pupils. In once-tolerant Amsterdam gays are beaten up almost exclusively by Muslims. Non-Muslim women routinely hear 'whore, whore'. Satellite dishes are not pointed to local TV stations, but to stations in the country of origin.
In France school teachers are advised to avoid authors deemed offensive to Muslims, including Voltaire and Diderot; the same is increasingly true of Darwin . The history of the Holocaust can no longer be taught because of Muslim sensitivity.
In England sharia courts are now officially part of the British legal system. Many neighborhoods in France are no-go areas for women without head scarves. Last week a man almost died after being beaten up by Muslims in Brussels , because he was drinking during the Ramadan.
Jews are fleeing France in record numbers, on the run for the worst wave of anti-Semitism since World War II. French is now commonly spoken on the streets of Tel Aviv and Netanya , Israel .. I could go on forever with stories like this. Stories about Islamization.
A total of fifty-four million Muslims now live. San Diego University recently calculated that a staggering 25 percent of the population in Europe will be Muslim just 12 years from now. Bernhard Lewis has predicted a Muslim majority by the end of this century.
Now these are just numbers. And the numbers would not be threatening if the Muslim-immigrants had a strong desire to assimilate. But there are few signs of that. The Pew Research Center reported that half of French Muslims see their loyalty to Islam as greater than their loyalty to France .. One-third of French Muslims do not object to suicide attacks. The British Centre for Social Cohesion reported that one-third of British Muslim students are in favor of a worldwide caliphate. Muslims demand what they call 'respect'. And this is how we give them respect. We have Muslim official state holidays.
The Christian-Democratic attorney general is willing to accept sharia in the Netherlands if there is a Muslim majority. We have cabinet members with passports from Morocco and Turkey .
Muslim demands are supported by unlawful behavior, ranging from petty crimes and random violence, for example against ambulance workers and bus drivers, to small-scale riots. Paris has seen its uprising in the low-income suburbs, the banlieus. I call the perpetrators 'settlers'. Because that is what they are. They do not come to integrate into our societies; they come to integrate our society into their Dar-al-Islam. Therefore, they are settlers.
Much of this street violence I mentioned is directed exclusively against non-Muslims, forcing many native people to leave their neighborhoods, their cities, their countries. Moreover, Muslims are now a swing vote not to be ignored.
The second thing you need to know is the importance of Mohammed the prophet. His behavior is an example to all Muslims and cannot be criticized. Now, if Mohammed had been a man of peace, let us say like Ghandi and Mother Theresa wrapped in one, there would be no problem. But Mohammed was a warlord, a mass murderer, a pedophile, and had several marriages - at the same time. Islamic tradition tells us how he fought in battles, how he had his enemies murdered and even had prisoners of war executed. Mohammed himself slaughtered the Jewish tribe of Banu Qurayza If it is good for Islam, it is good. If it is bad for Islam, it is bad.
Let no one fool you about Islam being a religion. Sure, it has a god, and a here-after, and 72 virgins. But in its essence Islam is a political ideology. It is a system that lays down detailed rules for society and the life of every person. Islam wants to dictate every aspect of life. Islam means 'submission'. Islam is not compatible with freedom and democracy, because what it strives for is sharia. If you want to compare Islam to anything, compare it to communism or national-socialism, these are all totalitarian ideologies.
Now you know why Winston Churchill called Islam 'the most retrograde force in the world', and why he compared Mein Kampf to the Quran. The public has wholeheartedly accepted the Palestinian narrative, and sees Israel as the aggressor. I have lived in this country and visited it dozens of times. I support Israel . First, because it is the Jewish homeland after two thousand years of exile up to and including Auschwitz; second because it is a democracy, and third because Israel is our first line of defense.
This tiny country is situated on the fault line of jihad, frustrating Islam's territorial advance. Israel is facing the front lines of jihad, like Kashmir, Kosovo, the Philippines , Southern Thailand, Darfur in Sudan , Lebanon , and Aceh in Indonesia . Israel is simply in the way. The same way West-Berlin was during the Cold War.
The war against Israel is not a war against Israel . It is a war against the West. It is jihad. Israel is simply receiving the blows that are meant for all of us. If there would have been no Israel , Islamic imperialism would have found other venues to release its energy and its desire for conquest. Thanks to Israeli parents who send their children to the army and lay awake at night, parents in Europe and America can sleep well and dream, unaware of the dangers looming.
Many in Europe argue in favor of abandoning Israel in order to address the grievances of our Muslim minorities. But if Israel were, God forbid, to go down, it would not bring any solace to the West It would not mean our Muslim minorities would all of a sudden change their behavior, and accept our values. On the contrary, the end of Israel would give enormous encouragement to the forces of Islam. They would, and rightly so, see the demise of Israel as proof that the West is weak, and doomed. The end of Israel would not mean the end of our problems with Islam, but only the beginning. It would mean the start of the final battle for world domination. If they can get Israel , they can get everything. So-called journalists volunteer to label any and all critics of Islamization as a 'right-wing extremists' or 'racists'. In my country, the Netherlands , 60 percent of the population now sees the mass immigration of Muslims as the number one policy mistake since World War II. And another 60 percent sees Islam as the biggest threat. Yet there is a greater danger than terrorist attacks, the scenario of America as the last man standing. The lights may go out in Europe faster than you can imagine. An Islamic Europe means a Europe without freedom and democracy, an economic wasteland, an intellectual nightmare, and a loss of military might for America - as its allies will turn into enemies, enemies with atomic bombs. With an Islamic Europe, it would be up to America alone to preserve the heritage of Rome , Athens and Jerusalem .....
Dear friends, liberty is the most precious of gifts. My generation never had to fight for this freedom, it was offered to us on a silver platter, by people who fought for it with their lives. All throughout Europe , American cemeteries remind us of the young boys who never made it home, and whose memory we cherish. My generation does not own this freedom; we are merely its custodians. We can only hand over this hard won liberty to Europe 's children in the same state in which it was offered to us. We cannot strike a deal with mullahs and imams. Future generations would never forgive us. We cannot squander our liberties. We simply do not have the right to do so.
We have to take the necessary action now to stop this Islamic stupidity from destroying the free world that we know.
Please take the time to read and understand what is written here, Please send it to every free person that you know, it is so very important.

Proof of wicked hate and urge to violence directly from the Unholy Quran: Sura (2:191-193) - "And slay them wherever ye find them, and drive them out of the places whence they drove you out, for persecution [of Muslims] is worse than slaughter [of non-believers]...and fight them until persecution is no more, and religion is for Allah." <<[[This refers to Christians, Hindus, Jews, Sieks, etc. that do not become Muslims.

Sura (4:74) - "Let those fight in the way of Allah who sell the life of this world for the other. Whoso fighteth in the way of Allah, be he slain or be he victorious, on him We shall bestow a vast reward." <<[[This refers to Christians, Hindus, Jews, Sieks, etc. that do not become Muslims]]>>
Sura (4:76) - "Those who believe fight in the cause of Allah…"
Sura (4:89) - "They but wish that ye should reject Faith, as they do, and thus be on the same footing (as they): But take not friends from their ranks until they flee in the way of Allah (From what is forbidden). But if they turn renegades, seize them and slay them wherever ye find them; and (in any case) take no friends or helpers from their ranks." <<[[This refers to Christians, Hindus, Jews, Sieks, etc. that do not become Muslims]]>>
Sura (4:95) - "Not equal are those believers who sit (at home) and receive no hurt, and those who strive and fight in the cause of Allah with their goods and their persons.

Not only is the Arabic word used in this passage, but it is clearly not referring to anything spiritual, since the physically disabled are given exemption. (The Hadith reveals the context of the passage to be in response to a blind man's protest that he is unable to engage in Jihad).]]>>
Sura (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..." Pursuing an injured enemy is not an act of self-defense. <<[[This refers to Christians, Hindus, Jews, Sieks, etc. that do not become Muslims]]>>
Sura (5:33) - "The punishment of those who wage war against Allah and His messenger 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" <<[[This is exactly what the wicked group of rebels are doing in Syria and Iraq right now – for details check the world news.]]>>

Sura (8:59-60) - "And let not those who disbelieve suppose that they can outstrip (Allah's Purpose). Lo! they cannot escape. Make ready for them all thou canst of (armed) force and of horses tethered, that thereby ye may dismay the enemy of Allah and your enemy." <<[[This refers to Christians, Hindus, Jews, Sieks, etc. that do not become Muslims]]>>
Sura (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." <<[[This refers to Christians, Hindus, Jews, Sieks, etc. that do not become Muslims]]>>
Sura (9:14) - "Fight them, Allah will punish them by your hands and bring them to disgrace..." <<[[This refers to Christians, Hindus, Jews, Sieks, etc. that do not become Muslims]]>>
Sura (9:20) - "Those who believe, and have left their homes and striven with their wealth and their lives in Allah's way are of much greater worth in Allah's sight. These are they who are triumphant." The "striving" spoken of here is Jihad.
Sura (9:29) - "Fight those who believe not in Allah nor the Last Day, nor hold that forbidden which hath been forbidden by Allah and His Messenger, nor acknowledge the religion of Truth, (even if they are) of the People of the Book, until they pay the Jizya with willing submission, and feel themselves subdued." <<[[This refers to Christians, Hindus, Jews, Sieks, etc. that do not become Muslims]]>>
Sura (9:30) - "And the Jews say: Ezra 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!" <<[[This is a monstrous lie as no Christian and/or so called Christian and/or Jew ever said such a thing as Almighty God (YHWH) is their God, not Allah.]]>>
Sura (9:38-39) - "O ye who believe! what is the matter with you, that, when ye are asked to go forth in the cause of Allah, ye cling heavily to the earth? Do ye prefer the life of this world to the Hereafter? But little is the comfort of this life, as compared with the Hereafter.

ISLAM IS A HORRIBLE FALSE RELIGION OF HATE OF ALL NON-MUSLIMS:
INTRODUCTION:
Most religions preach love and peace; whereas, Islam preaches hate and violence of others.
Whereas, most other people believe in the “golden rule,” to wit, do onto others what you would want them to do onto you; Islam believes do onto others what you WOULD NOT want them to do onto you.
HATE CODIFIED IN THE QURAN, SEE THE PROOF:
They believe in hate and disrespect of others and even want to take over their lands and put an unjust tax on them for NOT being Muslims and/or kill them.
Think this is not so, they even codify this wickedness and hate in their Quran and refuse to remove it. Here are two examples direct from the Quran:
Sura (9:29) - "Fight those who believe not in Allah nor the Last Day, nor hold that forbidden which hath been forbidden by Allah and His Messenger, nor acknowledge the religion of Truth, (even if they are) of the People of the Book, until they pay the Jizya with willing submission, and feel themselves subdued." <<[[This refers to Christians, Hindus, Jews, Sieks, etc. that do not become Muslims]]>>
Sura (2:191-193) - "And slay them wherever ye find them, and drive them out of the places whence they drove you out, for persecution [of Muslims] is worse than slaughter [of non-believers]...and fight them until persecution is no more, and religion is for Allah." <<[[This refers to Christians, Hindus, Jews, Sieks, etc. that do not become Muslims. NOTE, There is a good case to be made that the overall context of these verses is defensive war, however, there are two worrisome pieces to this passage. The first is that the killing of others is authorized in the event of "persecution." The second is that fighting may persist until "religion is for Allah."]]>>

EXAMPLE OF CRIMES AGAINST HUMANITY COMMITTED IN MIDDLE EAST AGAINST NON-MUSLIMS:
World Ignores Christian Exodus from Islamic World
by Raymond Ibrahim
The Gatestone Institute
August 6, 2014
While the world fixates on the conflict between Israel and Hamas—and while most mainstream media demonize Israel for trying to survive amid a sea of Arab-Islamic hostility—similar or worse tragedies continue to go virtually ignored.
One of the most ancient Christian communities in the world, that of Iraq—which already had been decimated over the last decade, by Islamic forces unleashed after the ousting of Saddam Hussein—has now been wiped out entirely by the new "caliphate," the so-called Islamic State, formerly known by the acronym "ISIS."
As Reuters reported:
Islamist insurgents have issued an ultimatum to northern Iraq's dwindling Christian population to either convert to Islam, pay a religious levy or face death, according to a statement distributed in the militant-controlled city of Mosul….
It said Christians who wanted to remain in the "caliphate" that the Islamic State declared this month in parts of Iraq and Syria must agree to abide by terms of a "dhimma" contract—a historic practice under which non-Muslims were protected in Muslim lands in return for a special levy known as "jizya."
"We offer them three choices: Islam; the dhimma contract—involving payment of jizya; if they refuse this they will have nothing but the sword," the announcement said.
The amount of jizya-money demanded was $450 a month, an exorbitant sum for Iraq.
Hours after the demand for jizya was made, Islamists began painting the letter "n" on Christian homes in Mosul—in Arabic, Christians are known as "Nasara," or "Nazarenes"—signaling them out for the slaughter to come.
Most Christians have since fled. A one-minute video in Arabic of their exodus appears here—women and children weeping as they flee their homes—a video that will not be shown by any Western mainstream media outlet, busy as they are depicting instead nonstop images of Palestinian women and children.
The Syrian Orthodox bishop of Mosul said that what is happening to the Christians of Mosul is nothing less than "genocide… not to mention the slaughters and rapes not being reported… Forcing more than a thousand Christian families out of Mosul, and turning Christian churches into Muslim mosques, is equivalent to genocide." Of course, the word genocide means to kill or make extinct a people.
Others were not as lucky to flee. According to Iraqi human rights activist Hena Edward, a great many older and disabled Iraqis, unable to pay the jizya or join the exodus, have opted to convert to Islam.
Meanwhile, the jihadis continue destroying churches and other ancient Christian holy sites in the name of their religion, and murdering any Christians they can find. Among other acts, they torched an 1800 year old church in Mosul, stormed a fourth century monastery—formerly one of Iraq's best known Christian landmarks—and expelling its resident monks.
Most recently, in Syrian regions under the Islamic State's control, eight Christians were reportedly crucified.
The Islamic State's call for Christians to pay jizya is not simply about money. It is about subjugation. Most Western media reporting on this recent call for jizya have failed to explain the accompanying dhimma contract Christians must also abide by. According to the Islamic State, "We offer them [Christians] three choices: Islam; the dhimma contract—involving payment of jizya; if they refuse this they will have nothing but the sword."
The "dhimma contract" is a reference to the Conditions of Omar, an Islamic text attributed to the caliph of the same name that forces Christians to live according to third class citizen status.
In fact, several months back, when the Islamic State was still called "ISIS," it applied the Conditions of Omar on the Christian minorities of Raqqa, Syria. The Islamic group had issued a directive citing the Islamic concept of "dhimma", [which] requires Christians in the city to pay tax of around half an ounce (14g) of pure gold in exchange for their safety. It says Christians must not make renovations to churches, display crosses or other religious symbols outside churches, ring church bells or pray in public. Christians must not carry arms, and must follow other rules imposed by ISIS… "If they reject, they are subject to being legitimate targets, and nothing will remain between them and ISIS other than the sword," the statement said [emphasis added].
The persecution and exodus of Christians is hardly limited to Iraq. In 2011, the U.S. Commission on International Religious Freedom noted: "The flight of Christians out of the region is unprecedented and it's increasing year by year." In our lifetime alone "Christians might disappear altogether from Iraq, Afghanistan, and Egypt," all Muslim majority nations.
Under Saddam Hussein, and before the 2003 U.S. "liberation" of Iraq, more than a million Christians lived in Iraq; Mosul had some 60,000 Christians. Today there are reportedly none thanks to the new Muslim "caliphate."
In Egypt, some 100,000 Christian Copts fled their homeland soon after the "Arab Spring." But even before that, the Coptic Orthodox Church lamented the "repeated incidents of displacement of Copts from their homes, whether by force or threat. Displacements began in Ameriya [62 Christian families evicted], then they stretched to Dahshur [120 Christian families evicted], and today terror and threats have reached the hearts and souls of our Coptic children in Sinai."
In late 2012, it was reported that the last Christian in the city of Homs, Syria—which had a Christian population of some 80,000 before jihadis came—was murdered. An escaped teenage Syrian girl said: "We left because they were trying to kill us… because we were Christians…. Those who were our neighbors turned against us. At the end, when we ran away, we went through balconies. We did not even dare go out on the street in front of our house."
In the African nation of Mali, after a 2012 Islamic coup, as many as 200,000 Christians fled. According to reports, "the church in Mali faces being eradicated," especially in the north "where rebels want to establish an independent Islamist state and drive Christians out… there have been house to house searches for Christians who might be in hiding, church and Christian property has been looted or destroyed, and people tortured into revealing any Christian relatives." At least one pastor was beheaded.
One can go on and on:
In Ethiopia, after a Christian was accused of desecrating a Koran, thousands of Christians were forced to flee their homes when "Muslim extremists set fire to roughly 50 churches and dozens of Christian homes."
In the Ivory Coast—where Christians have been crucified—Islamic rebels "massacred hundreds and displaced tens of thousands" of Christians.
In Libya, Islamic rebels forced several Christian nun orders serving the sick and needy since 1921 to flee and killed several Coptic Christians, causing that community also to flee.
In Muslim-majority northern Nigeria, where hardly a Sunday passes without a church bombing, Christians are fleeing by the thousands; one region has been emptied of 95% of its Christian population.
In Pakistan, after a Christian child was falsely accused of desecrating a Koran and Muslims went on an anti-Christian rampage, an entire Christian village—men, women, and children—was forced to flee into the nearby woods, where they built a church, to permanently reside there.
Despite all these atrocities, exoduses, and even genocides, the mainstream media seems to spend every available moment airing images of displaced Palestinians and demonizing Israel for trying to defend itself. Yet Israel does not kill Palestinians because of their religion or any other personal aspects. It does so in the context of being rocketed and trying to defend itself from terrorism.
On the other hand, all the crimes being committed by Muslims against Christians are simply motivated by religious hate, because the Christians are Christian.
It is to the mainstream media's great shame that those who slaughter, behead, crucify, and displace people for no other reason than because they are Christian, rarely if ever get media coverage, while a nation such as Israel, which kills only in the context of self-defense, and not out of religious bigotry, is constantly demonized.

Proof of wicked hate and urge to violence directly from the Unholy Quran:
Sura (2:191-193) - "And slay them wherever ye find them, and drive them out of the places whence they drove you out, for persecution [of Muslims] is worse than slaughter [of non-believers]...and fight them until persecution is no more, and religion is for Allah." <<[[This refers to Christians, Hindus, Jews, Sieks, etc. that do not become Muslims. NOTE, There is a good case to be made that the overall context of these verses is defensive war, however, there are two worrisome pieces to this passage. The first is that the killing of others is authorized in the event of "persecution." The second is that fighting may persist until "religion is for Allah."]]>>
Sura (2:244) - "Then fight in the cause of Allah, and know that Allah Heareth and knoweth all things."
Sura (2:216) - "Fighting is prescribed for you, and ye dislike it. But it is possible that ye dislike a thing which is good for you, and that ye love a thing which is bad for you. But Allah knoweth, and ye know not." <<[[This refers to Christians, Hindus, Jews, Sieks, etc. that do not become Muslims]]>>
Sura (3:56) - "As to those who reject faith, I will punish them with terrible agony in this world and in the Hereafter, nor will they have anyone to help." << [[They want to put to death all Christians for rejecting Islam, a good example is the case of Meriam Ibrahim, learn more at on 5/15/2014]]>>
Sura (3:151) - "Soon shall We cast terror into the hearts of the Unbelievers, for that they joined companions with Allah, for which He had sent no authority". <<[[Remember the murder of 3,000 and the destruction of the World Trade Center, the London Bus and Subway bombing slaughter, the Boston Marathon bombing, and the killing by the Taliban in Pakistan and Afghanistan, the Bale nightclub bombing, and countless others.

Sura (4:74) - "Let those fight in the way of Allah who sell the life of this world for the other. Whoso fighteth in the way of Allah, be he slain or be he victorious, on him We shall bestow a vast reward." <<[[This refers to Christians, Hindus, Jews, Sieks, etc. that do not become Muslims]]>>
Sura (4:76) - "Those who believe fight in the cause of Allah…"
Sura (4:89) - "They but wish that ye should reject Faith, as they do, and thus be on the same footing (as they): But take not friends from their ranks until they flee in the way of Allah (From what is forbidden). But if they turn renegades, seize them and slay them wherever ye find them; and (in any case) take no friends or helpers from their ranks." <<[[This refers to Christians, Hindus, Jews, Sieks, etc. that do not become Muslims]]>>
Sura (4:95) - "Not equal are those believers who sit (at home) and receive no hurt, and those who strive and fight in the cause of Allah with their goods and their persons. Allah hath granted a grade higher to those who strive and fight with their goods and persons than to those who sit (at home). Unto all (in Faith) Hath Allah promised good: But those who strive and fight Hath He distinguished above those who sit (at home) by a special reward,-" <<[[This passage not only criticizes "peaceful" Muslims who do not join in the violence, but also demolishes the modern myth that "Jihad" doesn't mean holy war in the Qur'an, but rather a spiritual struggle. Not only is the Arabic word used in this passage, but it is clearly not referring to anything spiritual, since the physically disabled are given exemption. (The Hadith reveals the context of the passage to be in response to a blind man's protest that he is unable to engage in Jihad).]]>>
Sura (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..." Pursuing an injured enemy is not an act of self-defense. <<[[This refers to Christians, Hindus, Jews, Sieks, etc. that do not become Muslims]]>>
Sura (5:33) - "The punishment of those who wage war against Allah and His messenger 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" <<[[This is exactly what the wicked group of rebels are doing in Syria and Iraq right now – for details check the world news.]]>>
Sura (8:12) - "I will cast terror into the hearts of those who disbelieve. Therefore strike off their heads and strike off every fingertip of them" <<[[This refers to Christians, Hindus, Jews, Sieks, etc. that do not become Muslims]]>>
Sura (8:15) - "O ye who believe! When ye meet those who disbelieve in battle, turn not your backs to them. (16)Whoso on that day turneth his back to them, unless maneuvering for battle or intent to join a company, he truly hath incurred wrath from Allah, and his habitation will be hell, a hapless journey's end." <<[[This refers to Christians, Hindus, Jews, Sieks, etc. that do not become Muslims]]>>
Sura (8:39) - "And fight with them until there is no more persecution and religion should be only for Allah" <<[[This refers to Christians, Hindus, Jews, Sieks, etc. that do not become Muslims]]>>
Sura (8:57) - "If thou comest on them in the war, deal with them so as to strike fear in those who are behind them, that haply they may remember." <<[[This refers to Christians, Hindus, Jews, Sieks, etc. that do not become Muslims]]>>
Sura (8:59-60) - "And let not those who disbelieve suppose that they can outstrip (Allah's Purpose). Lo! they cannot escape. Make ready for them all thou canst of (armed) force and of horses tethered, that thereby ye may dismay the enemy of Allah and your enemy." <<[[This refers to Christians, Hindus, Jews, Sieks, etc. that do not become Muslims]]>>
Sura (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." <<[[This refers to Christians, Hindus, Jews, Sieks, etc. that do not become Muslims]]>>
Sura (9:14) - "Fight them, Allah will punish them by your hands and bring them to disgrace..." <<[[This refers to Christians, Hindus, Jews, Sieks, etc. that do not become Muslims]]>>
Sura (9:20) - "Those who believe, and have left their homes and striven with their wealth and their lives in Allah's way are of much greater worth in Allah's sight. These are they who are triumphant." The "striving" spoken of here is Jihad.
Sura (9:29) - "Fight those who believe not in Allah nor the Last Day, nor hold that forbidden which hath been forbidden by Allah and His Messenger, nor acknowledge the religion of Truth, (even if they are) of the People of the Book, until they pay the Jizya with willing submission, and feel themselves subdued." <<[[This refers to Christians, Hindus, Jews, Sieks, etc. that do not become Muslims]]>>
Sura (9:30) - "And the Jews say: Ezra 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!" <<[[This is a monstrous lie as no Christian and/or so called Christian and/or Jew ever said such a thing as Almighty God (YHWH) is their God, not Allah.]]>>
Sura (9:38-39) - "O ye who believe! what is the matter with you, that, when ye are asked to go forth in the cause of Allah, ye cling heavily to the earth? Do ye prefer the life of this world to the Hereafter? But little is the comfort of this life, as compared with the Hereafter. Unless ye go forth, He will punish you with a grievous penalty, and put others in your place." This is a warning to those who refuse to fight, that they will be punished with Hell. <<[[A call to all members of Islam to deny freedom of conscience to others.]]>>
Sura (9:41) - "Go forth, light-armed and heavy-armed, and strive with your wealth and your lives in the way of Allah! That is best for you if ye but knew."

Hi Everyone
Iftikhar is at it again with his B.S. rants against Britian. Here is the first part of his nonsense rant:
<<[[Britain has a broken society. This is a dark portrait but it is very true. Children are left to rot and they grew into animals. Binge drinking, drug addiction, a culture of disrespect and antisocial behavior, teenage pregnancies and abortions, knife and gun culture are part and parcel of every day life in all big city centers. The teenage pregnancies and the sheer madness of sex education teach nothing about morality. British society is suffering from unprecedented social decay and societal breakdown, according to the Children’s Society shocking evidence.]]>>
TRUE, British society is going down like most others, but it is far better than Muslim society in the U.K., and its many rape gangs, terrorism, killing of British soldiers by beheading, honour killings, denial of basic human right of freedom of conscience, etc. He is always pushing the worst possible thing with respect schools in the U.K., i.e., Muslim faith based schools.
WITH RESPECT MUSLIM RAPE GANGS:
Muslim Child-Rape Gangs in Britain
While Muslim groups have sought to discredit the police investigations by claiming "Islamophobia," it recently emerged that British police had known for more than a decade that Muslim rape gangs were targeting young girls in England, but they ignored evidence because they were afraid of being accused of racism.

Let’s look at what other poster’s post to Iftikhar's nonsense post on facebook with respect Muslim faith based government schools in the U.K. Were excellent and to the point.
Here is what some of you said:
<<[[Fergus Mason No. There should be no religious schools at all in the UK, and muslim schools have to be the first to go. Preparation for life in modern Britain is completely incompatible with the values of modern Quetta or 7th-century Arabia. This is Britain.

Catherine Brown State funded Muslim schools for Muslim countries. We do not want Muslims in OUR LAND. We do not want them to drag us back to the Dark Ages with them.
As I have said in the past:
<<[[They believe in hate and disrespect of others and even want to take over their lands and put an unjust tax on them for NOT being Muslims and/or kill them.

Please check and you will find this is the absolute truth. They teach this hateful wickedness at home and in their mosques, BUT NEVER SHOULD PUBLIC FUNDS BE GIVEN TO ESTABLISH MUSLIM FAITH BASED SCHOOLS so they can teach this hateful wickedness.]]>>
NOW AN EXPERT’S TAKE ON ISLAM:
Here is an important work by Ingram that exposes Islam:
[All references and quotations are taken from The Holy Quran, English translation of the meanings and Commentary, Mushaf Al-Madinah, An-Nabawiyah, Revised and Edited by The Presidency Of Islamic Researches, IFTA, Call and Guidance, King Fahd Holy Quran Printing Complex, Saudi Arabia, 1992 edition. This edition of the Quran should be found in libraries. "S" stands for "Surat" which is equivalent to a chapter or book, and "A" stands for "Ayat" which is a "verse" in that particular Sura (or Surat).]
Introduction
Islam is the religion of the Quran (or Koran), and in Arabic Islam means "submission to his [Allah's] will" (S.3, A.19). A Muslim is one who is a believer in this religion (e.g. S.33, A.35). Their prophet's name is Muhammad (570-632 AD), and he proclaimed himself to be the "Seal of the Prophets," i.e., the last prophet (S.33, A.40; see also footnote #3731 for this verse, p.1255-1256). The Quran proclaims him to have been "unlettered" (S.7, A.157-158).
I. The Hypocrisy Of The "Revelation"
Much like Joseph Smith and the book of Mormon, the Quran claims to be an additional revelation from God brought through one man, Muhammad (S.53, A.5-18; see also 48:29). In this additional revelation, the Quran confirms the truth of the Bible. In other words, the Quran pronounces the Jewish Scriptures and the gospel of Jesus Christ as truth from Allah.
It was We [Allah] who revealed the Torah (to Moses): therein was guidance and light. (S.5, A.44
We [Allah] did indeed aforetime give the Book to Moses: Be not then in doubt of its reaching (thee): And We made it a guide to the Children of Israel. (S.32, A.23)
Those who believe (in the Quran). And those who follow the Jewish (scriptures), and the Christians and the Sabians, and who believe in Allah and the Last Day, and work righteousness, shall have their reward with their Lord on them shall be no fear, nor shall they grieve. (S.2, A.62; see also 5:69)
Here (in 2:62) the Quran declares a reward for those who believe the Jewish Scriptures, and confirms the truth therein.
But why do they come to thee for decision, when they have (their own) Torah before them?- Therein is the (plain) command of Allah: (S.5, A.43)
The Torah is the first 5 books of the Old Testament, and it is claimed to be the "command of Allah."
And in their footsteps we sent Jesus the son of Mary, confirming the Torah that had come before him: We sent him the Gospel: therein was guidance and light. And confirmation of the Torah that had come before him: (S.5, A.46)
So the Torah (the law), the Jewish Scriptures, and the gospel of Jesus are all truth from Allah according to the Quran, and the Quran simply claims to confirm these prior Scriptures.
Say ye: "We believe in Allah, and the revelation given to us, and to Abraham, Ismail, Isaac, Jacob, and the Tribes, and that given to Moses and Jesus, and that given to (all) Prophets from their Lord: We make no diffrence (sic) between one and another of them:" (S.2, A.136; bold added, see also 9:111, "In Truth, through the Torah, the Gospel, and the Quran:")
To thee We sent the Scripture in truth, confirming the scripture that came before it, (S.5, A.48)
Allah! There is no god but He,- the living, the Self-Subsisting, the Supporter of all. It is He Who sent down to thee (step by step), in truth, the Book, confirming what went before it; and He sent down the Torah (of Moses) and the Gospel (of Jesus). (S.3, A.2-3)
They said, "O our people! We have heard a Book revealed after Moses, confirming what came before it": (S.46, A.30)
The Quran claims to "confirm" the Bible (Torah, Jewish Scriptures, and gospel of Jesus) and makes no distinction between the Bible and the Quran (S.2, A.136). Yet, the typical Muslim view is that there is a distinction, in that, the Quran has been preserved pure, and the Bible has not.
The Muslim position has always been that the Jewish (and Christian) scriptures as they stand cannot be traced direct (sic) to Moses or Jesus, but are later compilations. (footnote #67 for S.2, A.52, p. 21-22)
In this both the Muslim's and the Quran's hypocrisy is revealed. Their own Quran tells them that the Jewish Scriptures and the gospel of Jesus are true, yet they discard this Quranic teaching with the excuse that the Jewish Scriptures and the gospel of Jesus has been supposedly lost through time. In other words, Allah did not keep his word. He did not preserve his revelation. Yet, Allah claims that the Quran is pure and he will preserve this revelation.
(It is) in Books held (greatly) in honour, exalted (in dignity), kept pure and holy. (S.80, A.13-14)
Messenger from Allah, rehearsing scriptures kept pure and holy: (S.98, A.2)
That this is indeed a Quran most honourable, in a Book well-guarded, which none shall touch but those who are clean: (S.56, A.77-79)
The Glorious Quran is the Book of Allah, the Wise and Worthy of all Praise, Who has promised to safeguard it from any violations in its purity. (ibid., preface, p. iii)
Nay, this is a Glorious Quran, (inscribed) in a Tablet Preserved! (S.85, A.21-22; the footnote #6066 for verse 22 reads, "The 'Tablet' is 'preserved' or guarded from corruption: xv. 9: for Allah's Message must endure for ever." p. 1932)
We have, without doubt, sent down the Message; and We will assuredly guard it (from corruption). (S.15, A.9; footnote #1944 for this verse declares, "The purity of the text of the Qur-an through fourteen centuries is a foretaste of the eternal care with which Allah's Truth is guarded through all ages. All corruptions, inventions, and accretions pass away, but Allah's pure and holy Truth will never suffer eclipse even though the whole world mocked at it and were bent on destroying it." p. 712)
So, Allah did not keep his prior revelation pure, but he claims he will keep this one pure? If this truly were the case, Allah has not proved himself to be faithful. If he was unable to keep all his many prior revelations from corruption, who says he is able to keep this Quran pure from corruption? Those who claim "the Jewish (and Christian) scriptures as they stand cannot be traced direct (sic) to Moses or Jesus, but are later compilations" assign to Allah a bad track record and prove him to be an unfaithful god.
According to the Quran, Muslims have "no ground to stand upon."
Say: "O People of the Book! Ye have no ground to stand upon unless ye stand fast by the Torah. (sic) The Gospel, and all the revelation that has come to you from your Lord." (S.5, A.68)
Two of the three pieces of the "ground" are gone. Islam's foundation has been destroyed, if "the Jewish (and Christian) scriptures as they stand cannot be" trusted.
Muslims need to take heed to a concept taught in Sura 5, Ayat 66.
If only they had stood fast by the Torah, the Gospel, and all the revelation that was sent to them from their Lord, . . . (S.5, A.66)
If Muhammad had stood fast by the Torah, the gospel, and the prior revelation, he would not have gone astray after this false god, Allah (see below, III. The False God Of The Quran).
The prior revelation Allah claims to have given (i.e. the Bible) proclaims itself to be kept pure (Psalm 12:6-7; Psalm 119:152, 160; Isaiah 30:8-9; 40:6-8; Matthew 24:35; Luke 21:33; 1 Peter 1:23). Allah purports to be consistent with this prior revelation, and challenges people to judge for themselves between the Quran and the Bible.
To Thee We sent the Scripture in truth, confirming the scripture that came before it, and guarding it in safety: so judge between them by what Allah hath revealed, (S.5, A.48; see also verse 47)
If the prior scripture (the Bible) has been corrupted, then here is a command given in the Quran no Muslim can keep; because they have no "scripture that came before it" anymore.
When one is not caught up in such lies, one can compare the Quran with the Bible, and when one does so, it is readily manifest that the Quran does not confirm "the scripture that came before it;" it contradicts it.
II. Lies Against The Word Of God
Besides the contradictions already mentioned, the Quran does not follow the doctrine of the Bible several times over. It promotes fables, like angels bowing down to Adam, and Satan (Iblis) refusing to do so (S.2, A.30-34; see also 7:11-12; 15:28-33; 17:61-63; 18:50; 38:71-77). It describes Jesus talking as a newborn (S.19, A.27-33) and later creating a clay bird and then breathing life into it (S.3, A.49 & S.5, A.110). It even alleges that the disciples of Christ claimed to be Muslims (S.3, A.52 & S.5, A.111). None of this is taught in the Word of God (Proverbs 30:5-6).
Furthermore, instead of confirming "the scripture that came before it" as the Quran purports (S.5, A.48), it actually teaches differently or records the exact opposite. For example, in the Islamic scriptures, a husband and wife can divorce and remarry each other twice. After this, if they divorced for a third time, they can not remarry unless the wife has first been married to another man and then divorced. If this took place, then they could remarry again (S.2, A.229-230; see also footnote #260 for verse 230). In the Jewish Scriptures, if a man remarries his ex-wife after she has been married and divorced by another man, this is an abomination to God (Deuteronomy 24:1-4; see also Jeremiah 3:1). Therefore, the Quran teaches a man and woman cannot get remarried for a third time unless they make sure it is under the kind of circumstance that the Bible states is an abomination to God!
In the Quran, a thief is to have his hands cut off (S.5, A.38). In the Bible, a thief was to pay back double, quadruple, or quintuple, or be sold for his theft depending on the circumstances (Exodus 22:1-4, 7).
In the Koran, Pharaoh's sorcerers become believers in Moses' God at the very first miracle, and fall "down prostrate in adoration" (S.7, A.113-126; see also 20:70-73; 26:43-48). Contrary to this, the living Word records the sorcerers to be in opposition to Moses all the way through Moses' third miracle, and it is not until the forth miracle that the magicians say, "This is the finger of God." (Exodus 8:18-19; see also 7:11-13, 22; 8:7).
In Muhammad's revelation, Noah has a few believers come into the ark with him, and one of his sons is drowned in the flood (S.11, A.40, 42-43; see also 66:10 for the supposed perdition of Noah's wife). In Moses' revelation, Noah has zero believers follow him into the ark (other than his family), and all of his sons are saved from the flood (Genesis 6:10, 13, 17-18; 7:7, 13, 21-23).
In Allah's record, Jacob does not believe the blood stained garment lie regarding Joseph (S.12, A.18). In Yahweh's account, Jacob believes the lie of Joseph's brothers (Genesis 37:31-34).
In the Muslim holy book, Joseph's master believes Joseph rather than his wife and there is a witness to the event (S.12, A.22-29). In the Holy Bible, Potiphar, Joseph's master, believes his wife and there is no witness to the event (Genesis 39:7-20).
In Muhammad's law, those who commit fornication are to be given 100 stripes (S.24, A.2). In the law of Moses, those who commit fornication are to be married, and they are never allowed to be divorced (Deuteronomy 22:28-29). If the father completely refuses to allow his daughter to get married to the man, then the man is to pay the bride-price of virgins (Exodus 22:16-17).
In the Quran, a false witness is to receive 80 stripes (S.24, A.4-5). In the Torah, a false witness is to receive what "he thought to have done" to the one he testified against, "life for life, eye for eye, tooth for tooth, hand for hand, foot for foot" (Deuteronomy 19:16-21). Also, the maximum number of stripes that could be given in any circumstance was 40 (Deuteronomy 25:2-3). The Quran goes way beyond this limit.
Sura 4, Ayat 82 reads,
Do they not ponder on the Qur-an? Had it been from other than Allah, they would surely have found therein much discrepancy.
They didn't look very carefully. There is indeed much discrepancy to be found in the Quran.
Muhammad's book claims to "make things clear" (S.15, A.1; see also 25:33; 26:2; 27:1; 28:2; 36:69-70; 43:2). It actually confuses matters.
III. The False God Of The Quran
The god of the Quran and the Islamic faith is named Allah. This god declares, in his wrath, he has turned people into apes and swine (S.5, A.60). This god maintains there is no victory except from him (S.3, A.126). He teaches that good is from him, and bad is from yourself (S.4, A.79). And, this god claims to be the One and only true God, the God of the Bible.
O Children of Israel! call to mind the special favour which I bestowed upon you, and fulfill your Covenant with Me and I shall fulfill My Covenant with you, and fear none but Me. (S.2, A.40)
O Children of Israel! call to mind the (special) favour which I bestowed upon you, and that I preferred you to all others. (S.2, A.47)
And remember, We [Allah] delivered you from the people of Pharaoh: (S.2, A.49)
And remember We divided the Sea for you and saved you and drowned Pharaoh's people within your very sight. And remember We appointed forty nights for Moses, and in his absence ye took the calf (for worship), and ye did grievous wrong. (S.2, A.50-51)
We gave him [Abraham] Isaac and Jacob: all (three) we guided: and before him, We guided Noah, and among his progeny, David, Solomon, Job, Joseph, Moses, and Aaron: Thus do We reward those who do good: And Zakariya [Zacharias] and John, and Jesus and Elias: all the ranks of the righteous: and Ismail [Ishmael] and Elisha, and Jonas, and Lot: and to all We gave favour above the nations: (S.6, A.84-86; see also S.38, A.45-48)
The God who made a covenant with Israel (Exodus 34:27), chose Israel out of all the nations (Deuteronomy 10:15; Psalm 147:19-20), divided the sea (Exodus 14:21-31), and gave Noah (Genesis 6:8), Abraham, Isaac, Jacob (Exodus 33:1), Ishmael (Genesis 21:17-20), Moses, Jesus, et. al., favor (Exodus 33:12; Luke 2:40), is Yahweh (YHWH), the God of Israel (Exodus 6:1-8; Isaiah 48:16; God's name in Hebrew, Yahweh, is translated "the Lord."). Allah claims to be Him.
Moreover, as noted above, Allah takes credit for the divine revelation of the past.
And remember We [Allah] gave Moses the Scripture and the Criterion (between right and wrong), there was a chance for you to be guided aright. (S.2, A.53)
We have sent thee inspiration, as We sent it to Noah and the Messengers after him: We sent inspiration to Abraham. Ismail [Ishmael], Isaac, Jacob and the Tribes, to Jesus, Job, Jonah, Aaron, and Solomon, and to David We gave the Psalms. Of some messengers We have already told thee the story; of others we have not;- and to Moses Allah spoke direct;- (S.4, A.163-164)
We did aforetime give Moses the Guidance, and We gave the Book in inheritance to the Children of Israel,- a Guide and a Reminder to men of understanding. (S.40, A.53-54)
We sent after them Jesus the son of Mary, and bestowed on him the Gospel; (S.57, A.27)
Yahweh gave Moses the Scriptures (Exodus 24:12; 31:18; 34:28), inspiration to Solomon (Proverbs 1:1), gave David the Psalms (2 Peter 1:20-21), and gave Jesus the gospel (Mark 1:14; John 7:16). Allah proclaims the Bible to be his revelation, but this is a lie.
Allah is not the God of the Bible. Besides contradicting other matters in the Word of God (see below), Allah never had a son.
Allah is One God: Glory be to Him: (Far Exalted is He) above having a son. (S.4, A.171; footnote #676 for this verse reads, "The doctrines of Trinity, equality with Allah, and sonship, are repudiated as blasphemies. Allah is independent of all needs and has no need of a son to manage His affairs." p. 272)
The Jews call Uzair a son of Allah, and the Christians call Christ the Son of Allah. That is a saying from their mouth; (in this) they but imitate what the Unbelievers of old used to say. Allah's curse be on them: how they are deluded away from the Truth! (S.9, A.30)
Such (was) Jesus the son of Mary: (it is) a statement of truth, about which they (vainly) dispute. It is not befitting to (the majesty of) Allah that He should beget a son. (S.19, A.34-35)
They say: "The Most Gracious [Allah] has betaken a son!" Indeed ye have put forth a thing most monstrous! At it the skies are about to burst, the earth to split asunder, and the mountains to fall down in utter ruin, that they attributed a son to The Most Gracious. (S.19, A.88-92; see also 2:116; 6:100-101; 10:68; and 23:91, "No son did Allah beget, . . .")
Far be it for Allah to have a son. The curse of Allah is on anyone who would pronounce such blasphemy, and it is a most monstrous thing to attribute a son to Allah. Clearly, according to the Quran, Allah has no son. Yet, Yahweh, the true God, the God of the true Scriptures, has a Son.
"I will declare the decree: The Lord [Yahweh] has said to Me, 'You are My Son, today I have begotten You. Ask of Me, and I will give You the nations for Your inheritance, and the ends of the earth for Your possession. You shall break them with a rod of iron; You shall dash them to pieces like a potter's vessel.' Now therefore, be wise, O kings; be instructed, you judges of the earth. Serve the Lord [Yahweh] with fear, and rejoice with trembling. Kiss the Son, lest He be angry, and you perish in the way, when His wrath is kindled but a little. Blessed are all those who put their trust in Him." (Psalm 7:7-12; see also John 10:36 where Jesus says, "I am the Son of God.")
This Psalm illustrates the perdition upon those who do not "kiss the Son." They will perish (John 3:15-18). The Quran and the Bible are at complete odds. The Quran pronounces a curse upon any who say God has a son (S.9, A.30). The Scriptures pronounce a curse upon any who believe not in God's Son (John 3:36; 1 John 5:10, 12).
The Quran goes so far as to say,
And they falsely, having no knowledge, attribute to Him [Allah] sons and daughters, praise and glory be to Him! (for He is) above what they attribute to Him! (S.6, A.100)
Not one of the beings in the heavens and the earth but must come to The Most Gracious as a servant. (S.19, A.93, footnote #2531 for verse 94 reads, "Allah has no sons . . ." p. 875)
This last statement is made in the context of Allah having a son. In other words, the Quran teaches that no being in heaven or earth comes to Allah as a son. This is radically different than the God of the Bible. Yahweh has many come to him as a son.
Now there was a day when the sons of God came to present themselves before the Lord, and Satan also came among them. (Job 1:6; see also Job 2:1; Genesis 6:2, 4)
Where were you when I laid the foundations of the earth? Tell Me, if you have understanding. Who determined its measurements? Surely you know! Or who stretched the line upon it? To what were its foundations fastened? Or who laid its cornerstone, when the morning stars sang together, and all the sons of God shouted for joy? (Job 38:4-7)
Blessed are the peacemakers, for they shall be called sons of God. (Matthew 5:9)
But those who are counted worthy to attain that age, and the resurrection from the dead, neither marry nor are given in marriage; nor can they die anymore, for they are equal to the angels and are sons of God, being sons of the resurrection. (Luke 20:35-36; see also Isaiah 43:6; 45:11; Matthew 5:45; Romans 8:14, 19; 9:26; Galatians 3:26; 4:5-6; Ephesians 1:5; Hebrews 12:5-7)
Both angels and men are called sons of God in the true revelation of God. And, yes, the Lord even has daughters as well (2 Corinthians 6:18)
Since Allah has no son, then it would make sense that the Quran also denies the deity of Christ.
The similitude of Jesus before Allah is as that of Adam; he created him from dust, then said to him: "Be": and he was. (S.3, A.59; footnote #398 for this verse reads "After a description of the high position which Jesus occupies as a prophet, we have a repudiation of the dogma that he was Allah, or the son of Allah, or anything more than a man." p. 158)
Even though the Quran recognizes the virgin birth of Christ (S.3, A.45-47; S.19, A.16-22), it nonetheless declares Jesus to be no more than a created servant, and not God in the flesh.
O People of the Book! Commit no excesses in your religion: not say of Allah aught but the truth. Christ Jesus the son of Mary was (no more than) a messenger of Allah, . . . (S.4, A.171)
They disbelieved indeed those that say that Allah is Christ the Son of Mary (S.5, A.17).
Certainly they disbelieve who say: "Allah is Christ the son of Mary." (S.5, A.72)
Christ the son of Mary was no more than a Messenger; (S.5, A.75)
He [Jesus] was no more than a servant: We granted our favor to him, and we made him an example to the Children of Israel. (S.43, A.59)
In opposition to the Quran, the Bible speaks of Jesus as the everlasting God and Son of God.
But you, Bethlehem Ephrathah, though you are little among the thousands of Judah, yet out of you shall come forth to Me the One to be Ruler in Israel, whose goings forth are from of old, from everlasting. (Micah 5:2)
For by Him [Jesus Christ] all things were created that are in heaven and that are on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or dominions or principalities or powers. All things were created through Him and for Him. (Colossians 1:16; see Genesis 1:1)
. . . Christ came, who is over all, the eternally blessed God. Amen. (Romans 9:5)
And we know that the Son of God has come and has given us an understanding, that we may know Him who is true; and we are in Him who is true, in His Son Jesus Christ. This is the true God and eternal life. (1 John 5:20)
As can be seen, the Quran does well at attacking the teaching of the Bible. Besides denying the Son of God as God, it also denies His crucifixion.
That they [the Jews] said (in boast), "We killed Christ Jesus the son of Mary, the Messenger of Allah";- But they killed him not, nor crucified him. Only a likeness of that was shown to them. And those who differ therein are full of doubts, with no (certain) knowledge. But only conjecture to follow, for of surety they killed him not:- (S.4, A.157)
There is no doubt that the true Scriptures teach that Christ was crucified (Matthew 27:35; 28:5; Mark 15:24-25; 16:6; Luke 23:33; John 19:18, 20, 23, 41; Acts 2:23; 2 Corinthians 13:4; Revelation 11:8), and that He died on the cross (Mark 15:37; Luke 23:46; John 19:31-34; Romans 5:6-8; 8:34; 14:9; 1 Corinthians 15:3; Philippians 2:5-8; Revelation 1:18). The Quran denies this reality, and perverts the gospel of Christ.
Therefore it is true that Allah does not have a son, because, even though the Quran asserts otherwise (S.7, A.54; S.57, A.4), Allah is not the Creator of the heavens and the earth. Yahweh is.
For thus says the Lord [Yahweh], Who created the heavens, Who is God, Who formed the earth and made it, Who has established it, Who did not create it in vain, Who formed it to be inhabited: "I am the Lord [more literally, "I am Yahweh"], and there is no other." (Isaiah 45:18)
Yahweh, the Creator, does have a Son (Psalm 2:7-12). Actually, Scripture intimates stupidity on those who do not know this fact.
Surely I am more stupid than any man, and do not have the understanding of a man. I neither learned wisdom nor have knowledge of the Holy One. Who has ascended into heaven, or descended? Who has gathered the wind in His fists? Who has bound the waters in a garment? Who has established all the ends of the earth? What is His name, and what is His Son¹s name, if you know? (Proverbs 30:2-4; see also Romans 1:18-23)
So, who is Allah? He is an impostor.
Woe to each sinful impostor. (S.45, A.7)
Allah claims to be the Truth (S.20, A.114), but Allah lies. Jesus Christ, the Word of God (Revelation 19:13), is the Truth (John 1:1, 14; 14:6). This Word (Hebrews 4:12-13) reveals that false gods, idols, involve demons (Leviticus 17:7; Deuteronomy 32:17; 2 Chronicles 11:15; Psalm 106:37; 1 Corinthians 10:20-21; Revelation 9:20). Thus, Allah is a demon, or demons, and Muhammad was a prophet of a demon (or demons).
IV. The Religion Of Abraham
The Quran attributes itself to the religion of Abraham, calls Abraham a man of Truth, and teaches people to follow the religion of Abraham.
And who turns away from the religion of Abraham but such as debase their souls with folly? Him we chose and rendered pure in this world: and he will be in the Hereafter in the ranks of the Righteous. (S.2, A.130)
(Also) mention in the Book (the story of) Abraham: He was a man of Truth, a prophet. (S.19, A.41)
Say: "Allah speaketh the Truth: follow the religion of Abraham, the sane in faith: he was not of the Pagans." (S.3, A.95)
So, even though the Quran tells people to "follow the religion of Abraham," in hypocrisy it denies the religion of Abraham.
They say: "Become Jews or Christians if ye would be guided (to salvation)." Say thou: Nay! (I would rather) the Religion of Abraham the True, (S.2, A.135)
Abraham was not a Jew nor yet a Christian; but he was Upright, (S.3, A.67)
Most who call themselves Jews and Christians are false and are not truly Jews and Christians (Psalm 81:15; Romans 2:28-29; 2 Timothy 4:3; Revelation 2:9). Nonetheless, Abraham's religion was and is certainly Jewish and most profoundly Christian. Jesus said,
"Your father Abraham rejoiced to see My day, and he saw it and was glad." Then the Jews said to Him, "You are not yet fifty years old, and have You seen Abraham?" Jesus said to them, "Most assuredly, I say to you, before Abraham was, I AM." (John 8:56-58; see also Exodus 3:14)
The religion of Abraham was both Jewish and Christian, because he is "the father of all those who believe" (Romans 4:11). True Judaism and true Christianity is actually the same religion, the religion of Abraham. Yahweh, the God who gave Moses the Torah (Exodus 24:12), the God who has a Son (Psalm 2:7-12), is the God who appeared to Abraham. Genesis 12:1, 4, 7; 15:1, 2, 4, 6, 7-8; 17:1; 18:1, 13-14, 17, 19-20, 26, & 33, all name Yahweh ("the Lord") as the One who spoke with Abraham, and it is this God that true Jews and true Christians worship. It is not Allah to whom Abraham gave worship, but rather the Lord God, Yahweh.
And he moved from there to the mountain east of Bethel, and he pitched his tent with Bethel on the west and Ai on the east; there he built an altar to the Lord [Yahweh] and called on the name of the Lord [Yahweh]. (Genesis 12:8; see also Genesis 14:22; 22:14)
"Salvation is of the Jews" (John 4:22), and it is the Jewish Scriptures and the gospel of Jesus Christ that brings salvation to mankind (Genesis 15:6; Matthew 4:4; James 1:21). This is the religion of Abraham, both before he died and after (Luke 16:19-31).
V. Not A Peaceful Religion
Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah; and those who are with him are strong against Unbelievers, (but) compassionate amongst each other. (S.48, A.29)
O ye who believe! Fight the Unbelievers who are near to you and let them find harshness in you: and know that Allah is with those who fear Him. (S.9, A.123)
The Quran commands its followers to hate and be violent toward those who do not believe. [If the two quotes above are not convincing enough, keep reading.] This hostility is typically in the context of those who oppose Islam (see below). But, in the Quran, this hatred becomes so perverse, that at one point a child is killed because it is feared the youngster might grieve his parents through unbelief.
Then they proceeded: Until, when they met a young boy, he slew him. Moses said: "Hast thou slain an innocent person who had slain none? Truly a foul (unheard-of) thing hast thou done!" (S.18, A.74)
In this section of the Quran, Moses asks a servant of Allah if he can follow him so that he might learn "(Higher) Truth" (S.18, A.65-66). As Moses follows this servant, the servant slays this young boy and later gives the reason why.
As for the youth, his parents were people of Faith, and we feared that he would grieve them by obstinate rebellion and ingratitude (to Allah). So we desired that their Lord would give them in exchange (a son) better in purity (of conduct) and closer in affection. (S.18, A.80-81)
Here is some of the Quran's "(Higher) Truth." In this fable, Moses is correct. It was indeed a foul thing, and such foul wickedness is what the Quran teaches.
Some Muslims may claim their religion is a peaceful one. But, according to the Quran, this is a lie. Several times over, the Quran calls Muslim believers to fight and slay those who repel Islam.
Fight in the cause of Allah those who fight you but do not transgress limits; for Allah loveth not transgressors. And slay them wherever ye catch them, and turn them out from where they have turned you out; for persecution is worse than slaughter; but fight them not at the Sacred Mosque, unless they (first) fight you there; but if they fight you, slay them. Such is the reward of those who reject faith. But if they cease, Allah is Oft-Forgiving, Most Merciful. And fight them on until there is no more persecution and the religion becomes Allah's. But if they cease, let there be no hostility except to those who practise oppression. (S.2, A.190-193, bold added)
"Fight those who fight you" is here in the context of "persecution." In other words, if a Muslim is persecuted he has the green light from the Quran to "slay" his persecutors. This is the teaching of Muhammad and his false god, Allah.
In opposition to this violence, Jesus said,
Blessed are you when they revile and persecute you, and say all kinds of evil against you falsely for My sake. Rejoice and be exceedingly glad, for great is your reward in heaven, for so they persecuted the prophets who were before you. (Matthew 5:11-12)
You have heard that it was said, "An eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth." But I tell you not to resist an evil person. But whoever slaps you on your right cheek, turn the other to him also. (Matthew 5:38-39)
In the context of persecution, Jesus instructs his followers not to fight those who fight them. Jesus commands the exact opposite of what Allah commands in the Quran.
Furthermore, the Quran commands its followers to fight "until there is no more persecution."
And fight them [unbelievers] on until there is no more persecution, and religion becomes Allah¹s in its entirety but if they cease, verily Allah doth see all that they do. (S.8, A.38)
So, as long as there is persecution, the Muslims are called to war.
Let not the Unbelievers think that they have escaped, they will never frustrate (them). Against them make ready your strength to the utmost of your power, including steeds of war, to strike terror into (the hearts of) the enemies, of Allah and your enemies, and others besides, whom ye may not know, but whom Allah doth know. Whatever ye shall spend in the Cause of Allah, shall be repaid unto you, and ye shall not be treated unjustly. (S.8, A.60)
O Prophet! rouse the Believers to the fight. If there are twenty amongst you, patient and persevering, they will vanquish a thousand of the Unbelievers: for these are a people without understanding. (S.8, A.65)
But if they violate their oaths after their covenant, and attack your Faith, - fight ye the chiefs of Unfaith: For their oaths are nothing to them: That thus they may be restrained. Will ye not fight people who violated their oaths, plotted to expel the Messenger, and attacked you first? Do ye fear them? Nay, it is Allah whom ye should more justly fear, if ye believe! Fight them, and Allah will punish them by your hands, and disgrace them Help you (to victory) over them, heal the breasts of Believers. (S.9, A.12-14)
Fight those who believe not in Allah nor the Last Day, nor hold that forbidden which hath been forbidden by Allah and His Messenger, nor acknowledge the Religion of Truth, from among the People of the Book, until they pay the Jizya with willing submission, and feel themselves subdued. (S.9, A.29)
What is the Jizya? The footnote (commentary) for this passage reads,
1281. Jizya: the root meaning is compensation. The derived meaning, which became the technical meaning, was a poll-tax levied from those who did not accept Islam, but were willing to live under the protection of Islam, and were thus tacitly willing to submit to its ideals being enforced in the Muslim State. There was no amount permanently fixed for it. It was an acknowledgment that those whose religion was tolerated would in their turn not interfere with the preaching and progress of Islam. (p. 507)
It is evident from this passage (9:29) and commentary that if a country was ruled by people who followed the Quran, it would be oppressive toward those who were not Muslim.
One example given in justification of a call to war is the loss of homes. Muhammad says,
To those against whom War is made, permission is given (to fight), because they are wronged; - and verily, Allah is Most Powerful for their aid; - (They are) those who have been expelled from their homes in defiance of right, - (for no cause) except that they say, "Our Lord is Allah". (S.22, A.39-40)
Muhammad encourages people to walk in their sinful flesh and "fight and war" (James 4:2). In contrast to this, in the Bible when true believers of the true God were persecuted and expelled from their homes (Acts 8:1, 3-4; Hebrews 11:36-38), no war cry is given, but instead,
They were stoned, they were sawn in two, were tempted, were slain with the sword. They wandered about in sheepskins and goatskins, being destitute, afflicted, tormented - of whom the world was not worthy. They wandered in deserts and mountains, in dens and caves of the earth. (Hebrews 11:37-38)
Even David, who was anointed King (1 Samuel 16:13), went "wherever [he] could go" as he fled his persecutor, Saul (1 Samuel 23:13), and refused to fight against him or kill him (1 Samuel 24 & 26). Indeed, there is a time for war (Ecclesiastes 3:8), but the Quran's war cry is way out of bounds. The true Scripture never gives anyone the right to kill and make war solely because they are persecuted for their faith.
When the Hebrew Christians were persecuted for their faith, they,
joyfully accepted the plundering of [their] goods, knowing that [they had] a better and an enduring possession for [themselves] in heaven. (Hebrews 10:34)
The Quran falsely promises a better and an enduring possession (see below, S.3, A.195; S.9, A.111), yet it is evident this is not enough. Muslims are called to war, fight, and attempt to obtain dominance in this life as well (e.g. S.9, A.29; S.47, A.4).
For those who follow the true God, Jesus Christ, the King of Kings and Lord of Lords (Revelation 19:16), such dominance is not promised until He returns (Revelation 2:26-27). In the meantime, "we are accounted as sheep for the slaughter" (Romans 8:36).
The Quran not only calls Muslims to fight, it also attempts to persuade those who dislike such violence away from peaceful living.
Fighting is prescribed upon you, and ye dislike it. But it is possible that ye dislike a thing which is good for you, and that ye love a thing which is bad for you. But Allah knoweth, and ye know not. (S.2, A.216)
Herein (S.2, A.216) are the words of Isaiah fulfilled.
Woe to those who call evil good, and good evil; who put darkness for light, and light for darkness; who put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter! (Isaiah 5:20)
The Quran calls evil good and good evil, and puts darkness for light and light for darkness, and puts bitter for sweet and sweet for bitter, by calling it good to slay unbelievers (S.2, A.190-193, 216, etc.), by saying the Quran brings light (S.4, A.174, see footnote # 679), and by saying those who follow Allah will have a sweet existence hereafter (S.47, A.12). All of these are lies (Revelation 21:8).
Furthermore, the Quran goes so far as to say that a Muslim wrongs himself if he does not "fight the Pagans."
The number of months in the sight of Allah is twelve (in a year) - so ordained by Him the day He created the heavens and the earth; of them four are sacred: That is the right religion so wrong not yourselves therein, and fight the Pagans all together as they fight you all together. But know that Allah is with those who restrain themselves. (S.9, A.36, bold added)
This passage may well say that Allah is with those who restrain themselves, but, according to the Quran, there is no restraint in fighting people who fight you.
Therefore, when ye meet the Unbelievers (in fight) smite at their necks; at length, when ye have thoroughly subdued them, bind (the captives) firmly: (S.47, A.4)
And slacken not in following up the enemy: if ye are suffering hardships, they are suffering similar hardships: (S.4, A.104)
Not until the "Unbelievers" are thoroughly subdued (S.47, A.4), or somehow inclined toward peace (S.8, A.61), are Muslims restrained (S.4, A.90). In contrast, the true Word of God describes proper restraint, making no war.
Bless those who persecute you; bless and do not curse. (Romans 12:14)
Repay no one evil for evil. Have regard for good things in the sight of all men. If it is possible, as much as depends on you, live peaceably with all men. Beloved, do not avenge yourselves, but rather give place to wrath; for it is written, "Vengeance is Mine, I will repay," says the Lord. Therefore "If your enemy is hungry, feed him; if he is thirsty, give him a drink; for in so doing you will heap coals of fire on his head." Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good. (Romans 12:17-21)
The true God says He will take care of those who harm believers ("Vengeance is Mine, I will repay"). The false god Allah calls his followers to carry out the vengeance in his name. This is his cause, and Allah calls all who follow him to execute his revenge.
Then fight in the cause of Allah, and know that Allah heareth and knoweth all things. (S.2, A.244)
Then fight in Allah's cause - Thou art held responsible only for thyself - and rouse the Believers. (S.4, A.84)
The punishment of those who wage war against Allah and His Messenger, and strive with might and main for mischief through the land is: execution, or crucifixion, or the cutting off of hands and feet from opposite sides, or exile from the land: That is their disgrace in this world, and a heavy punishment is theirs in the Hereafter; (S.5, A.33)
Truly Allah loves those who fight in His cause in battle array, as if they were a solid cemented structure. (S.61, A.4)
Let those fight in the cause of Allah who sell the life of this world for the Hereafter. To him who fighteth in the cause of Allah, - whether he is slain or gets victory - soon shall We give him a reward of great (value). And why should ye not fight in the cause of Allah and of those who, being weak, are ill-treated (and oppressed)? - men, women, and children, whose cry is: "Our Lord! Rescue us from this town. Whose people are oppressors; and raise for us from Thee one who will protect; and raise for us from Thee one who will help!" Those who believe fight in the cause of Allah and those who reject Faith fight in the cause of Evil (Tagut): So fight ye against the Friends, of Satan: feeble indeed is the cunning of Satan. (S.4, A.74-76)
The Quran calls Satan's cunning feeble. The Bible calls Satan's cunning greater "than any beast of the field" (Genesis 3:1; 2 Corinthians 11:3; Revelation 12:9; 20:2). Muhammad knew not the devices of the devil (2 Corinthians 2:11; Ephesians 6:11; Revelation 12:9).
The Quran makes a distinction between those who fight and those who do not.
Not equal are those Believers who sit (at home), except those who are disabled. And those who strive and fight in the cause of Allah with their goods and their persons. Allah hath granted a grade higher to those who strive and fight with their goods and persons than to those who sit (at home). Unto all (in Faith) hath Allah promised good: But those who strive and fight hath He distinguished above those who sit (at home) by a great reward. - (S.4, A.95)
Here in 4:95 is described a good to all who believe, but a greater good to those who fight. Later in the Quran, Muhammad gives the definition of a true believer as one who fights and does not sit at home, and distinguishes between a true believer and a false believer by whether they fight or not.
Those who believe in Allah and the Last Day ask thee for no exemption from fighting with their goods and persons. And Allah knoweth well those who do their duty. Only those ask thee for exemption who believe not in Allah and the Last Day, and whose hearts are in doubt, so that they are tossed in their doubts to and fro. (S.9, A.44-45)
The discourse on these who desire exemption from fighting continues on from 9:45 to 9:59 and then again from 9:81 to 9:96. In this latter section, Muhammad focuses on those particular people who are rich (9:93), yet they desire not to fight but remain at home with the women (9:87, 93). Such people, says Muhammad, are "an abomination," and "Hell is their dwelling-place, - a fitting recompense for the (evil) that they did" (9:95). "Allah is not pleased with those who disobey" (9:96). In other words, it is downright disobedience not to fight, and hell awaits all those who choose such a peaceful path.
Thus, Muhammad is instructed,
O Prophet! strive hard against the Unbelievers and the Hypocrites, and be firm against them. Their abode is Hell, - an evil refuge indeed. (S.9, A.73)
O Prophet! Strive hard against the Unbelievers and the Hypocrites, and be harsh with them. Their abode is Hell, - an evil refuge (indeed). (S.66, A.9)
According to the Quran, unbelievers and hypocrites go to hell, an eternal hell (S.3, A.116; see also 4:14; 4:168-169; 33:64-65), unless Allah decides otherwise (6:128); and Allah instructs his followers to help get them there (i.e. kill them)!
Why should ye be divided into two parties about the Hypocrites? Allah hath cast them off for their (evil) deeds. Would ye guide those whom Allah hath thrown out of the Way? For those whom Allah hath thrown out of the Way, never shalt thou find the Way. They but wish that ye should reject Faith, as they do, and thus be on the same footing (as they): So take not friends from their ranks until they flee in the way of Allah (from what is forbidden). But it (sic) they turn renegades, seize them and slay them wherever ye find them; and (in any case) take no friends or helpers from their ranks: - (S.4, A.88-89, bold added)
Others you will find that wish to be secure from you as well as that of their people: Every time they are sent back to temptation, they succumb thereto: if they withdraw not from you nor give you (guarantees) of peace besides restraining their hands, seize them and slay them wherever ye get them: (S.4, A.91, bold added)
Allah threatens,
Soon shall We cast terror into the hearts of the Unbelievers, . . . (S.3, A.151)
What is one of the ways this terror is carried out? It is executed by the followers of Allah.
But when the forbidden months are past, then fight and slay the Pagans wherever ye find them, and seize them, beleaguer them, and lie in wait for them in every stratagem (of war); but if they repent, and establish regular prayers. (sic) And pay Zakat then open the way for them: For Allah is Oft-forgiving, Most Merciful. (S.9, A.5, bold added; Zakat "is a definite portion of wealth which is given to needy (sic) at the turn of the year." ibid., p. viii)
Truly, if the Hypocrites, and those in whose hearts is a disease, and those who stir up sedition in the City, desist not, We shall certainly stir thee up against them: Then will they not be able to stay in it as thy neighbours for any length of time: They shall have a curse on them: wherever they are found, they shall be seized and slain. (S.33, A.60-61, bold added)
Finally, the Quran promises a reward for those who fight and slay unbelievers.
And there is the type of man who gives his life to earn the pleasure of Allah; and Allah is full of kindness to (His) devotees. (S.2, A.207)
Think not of those who are slain in Allah¹s way as dead. Nay, they live, finding their sustenance from their Lord. (S.3, A.169)
"Those who have left their homes, and were driven out therefrom, and suffered harm in My cause, and fought and were slain, - verily, I will blot out from them their iniquities, and admit them into Gardens with rivers flowing beneath; - a reward from Allah and from Allah is the best of rewards." (S.3, A.195)
Allah hath purchased of the Believers their persons and their goods; for theirs (in return) is the Garden (of Paradise): They fight in His cause, and slay and are slain: (S.9, A.111; see also S.48, A.16)
With such war cries in the Quran and such promises of rewards from Allah, it is no wonder Islam produces men like Osama Bin Laden and the many Muslim terrorist organizations throughout the world. Proverbs 16:29 well describes Muhammad and anyone else who would teach this violent religion of Islam.
A violent man entices his neighbor, and leads him in a way that is not good.
Surat 9, Ayat 115 says, "Allah will not mislead a people." Allah has mislead untold millions to the eternal torment of the lake of fire (Revelation 21:8; 22:15). For the Lord [Yahweh] abhors the bloodthirsty and deceitful man (Psalm 5:6), and His soul hates those who love violence (Psalm 11:5; see also Isaiah 66:24).
VI. Should We Fear?
Since Islam is such a violent religion, and Muslims may very well see fit to slay the "unbelievers" (e.g. S.9, A.29), should we be in fear for our lives? If you don¹t know Christ, you have much to fear (e.g. Hebrews 2:15; Revelation 21:8), but for those who put their trust in the true God, there is no need to fear the onslaught of the wicked. Jesus said,
And I say to you, My friends, do not be afraid of those who kill the body, and after that have no more that they can do. But I will show you whom you should fear: Fear Him who, after He has killed, has power to cast into hell; yes, I say to you, fear Him! (Luke 12:4-5)
If we fear God (Proverbs 14:26), then we can confidently say,
In God I have put my trust; I will not be afraid. What can man do to me? (Psalm 56:11)
The Lord [Yahweh] is on my side; I will not fear. What can man do to me? The Lord [Yahweh] is for me among those who help me; therefore I shall see my desire on those who hate me. It is better to trust in the Lord [Yahweh] than to put confidence in man. (Psalm 118:6-8)
Do not be afraid of sudden terror, nor of trouble from the wicked when it comes; for the Lord [Yahweh] will be your confidence, and will keep your foot from being caught. (Proverbs 3:25-26)
You will keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on You, because he trusts in You. Trust in the Lord [Yahweh] forever, for in Yah, the Lord [Yahweh], is everlasting strength. (Isaiah 26:3-4

ISLAM IS A HORRIBLE FALSE RELIGION OF HATE OF ALL NON-MUSLIMS:
INTRODUCTION:
Most religions preach love and peace; whereas, Islam preaches hate and violence of others.
Whereas, most other people believe in the “golden rule,” to wit, do onto others what you would want them to do onto you; Islam believes do onto others what you WOULD NOT want them to do onto you.
HATE CODIFIED IN THE QURAN, SEE THE PROOF:
They believe in hate and disrespect of others and even want to take over their lands and put an unjust tax on them for NOT being Muslims and/or kill them.
Think this is not so, they even codify this wickedness and hate in their Quran and refuse to remove it. Here are two examples direct from the Quran:
Sura (9:29) - "Fight those who believe not in Allah nor the Last Day, nor hold that forbidden which hath been forbidden by Allah and His Messenger, nor acknowledge the religion of Truth, (even if they are) of the People of the Book, until they pay the Jizya with willing submission, and feel themselves subdued." <<[[This refers to Christians, Hindus, Jews, Sieks, etc. that do not become Muslims]]>>
Sura (2:191-193) - "And slay them wherever ye find them, and drive them out of the places whence they drove you out, for persecution [of Muslims] is worse than slaughter [of non-believers]...and fight them until persecution is no more, and religion is for Allah." <<[[This refers to Christians, Hindus, Jews, Sieks, etc. that do not become Muslims. NOTE, There is a good case to be made that the overall context of these verses is defensive war, however, there are two worrisome pieces to this passage. The first is that the killing of others is authorized in the event of "persecution." The second is that fighting may persist until "religion is for Allah."]]>>

EXAMPLE OF CRIMES AGAINST HUMANITY COMMITTED IN MIDDLE EAST AGAINST NON-MUSLIMS:
World Ignores Christian Exodus from Islamic World
by Raymond Ibrahim
The Gatestone Institute
August 6, 2014
While the world fixates on the conflict between Israel and Hamas—and while most mainstream media demonize Israel for trying to survive amid a sea of Arab-Islamic hostility—similar or worse tragedies continue to go virtually ignored.
One of the most ancient Christian communities in the world, that of Iraq—which already had been decimated over the last decade, by Islamic forces unleashed after the ousting of Saddam Hussein—has now been wiped out entirely by the new "caliphate," the so-called Islamic State, formerly known by the acronym "ISIS."
As Reuters reported:
Islamist insurgents have issued an ultimatum to northern Iraq's dwindling Christian population to either convert to Islam, pay a religious levy or face death, according to a statement distributed in the militant-controlled city of Mosul….
It said Christians who wanted to remain in the "caliphate" that the Islamic State declared this month in parts of Iraq and Syria must agree to abide by terms of a "dhimma" contract—a historic practice under which non-Muslims were protected in Muslim lands in return for a special levy known as "jizya."
"We offer them three choices: Islam; the dhimma contract—involving payment of jizya; if they refuse this they will have nothing but the sword," the announcement said.
The amount of jizya-money demanded was $450 a month, an exorbitant sum for Iraq.
Hours after the demand for jizya was made, Islamists began painting the letter "n" on Christian homes in Mosul—in Arabic, Christians are known as "Nasara," or "Nazarenes"—signaling them out for the slaughter to come.
Most Christians have since fled. A one-minute video in Arabic of their exodus appears here—women and children weeping as they flee their homes—a video that will not be shown by any Western mainstream media outlet, busy as they are depicting instead nonstop images of Palestinian women and children.
The Syrian Orthodox bishop of Mosul said that what is happening to the Christians of Mosul is nothing less than "genocide… not to mention the slaughters and rapes not being reported… Forcing more than a thousand Christian families out of Mosul, and turning Christian churches into Muslim mosques, is equivalent to genocide." Of course, the word genocide means to kill or make extinct a people.
Others were not as lucky to flee. According to Iraqi human rights activist Hena Edward, a great many older and disabled Iraqis, unable to pay the jizya or join the exodus, have opted to convert to Islam.
Meanwhile, the jihadis continue destroying churches and other ancient Christian holy sites in the name of their religion, and murdering any Christians they can find. Among other acts, they torched an 1800 year old church in Mosul, stormed a fourth century monastery—formerly one of Iraq's best known Christian landmarks—and expelling its resident monks.
Most recently, in Syrian regions under the Islamic State's control, eight Christians were reportedly crucified.
The Islamic State's call for Christians to pay jizya is not simply about money. It is about subjugation. Most Western media reporting on this recent call for jizya have failed to explain the accompanying dhimma contract Christians must also abide by. According to the Islamic State, "We offer them [Christians] three choices: Islam; the dhimma contract—involving payment of jizya; if they refuse this they will have nothing but the sword."
The "dhimma contract" is a reference to the Conditions of Omar, an Islamic text attributed to the caliph of the same name that forces Christians to live according to third class citizen status.
In fact, several months back, when the Islamic State was still called "ISIS," it applied the Conditions of Omar on the Christian minorities of Raqqa, Syria. The Islamic group had issued a directive citing the Islamic concept of "dhimma", [which] requires Christians in the city to pay tax of around half an ounce (14g) of pure gold in exchange for their safety. It says Christians must not make renovations to churches, display crosses or other religious symbols outside churches, ring church bells or pray in public. Christians must not carry arms, and must follow other rules imposed by ISIS… "If they reject, they are subject to being legitimate targets, and nothing will remain between them and ISIS other than the sword," the statement said [emphasis added].
The persecution and exodus of Christians is hardly limited to Iraq. In 2011, the U.S. Commission on International Religious Freedom noted: "The flight of Christians out of the region is unprecedented and it's increasing year by year." In our lifetime alone "Christians might disappear altogether from Iraq, Afghanistan, and Egypt," all Muslim majority nations.
Under Saddam Hussein, and before the 2003 U.S. "liberation" of Iraq, more than a million Christians lived in Iraq; Mosul had some 60,000 Christians. Today there are reportedly none thanks to the new Muslim "caliphate."
In Egypt, some 100,000 Christian Copts fled their homeland soon after the "Arab Spring." But even before that, the Coptic Orthodox Church lamented the "repeated incidents of displacement of Copts from their homes, whether by force or threat. Displacements began in Ameriya [62 Christian families evicted], then they stretched to Dahshur [120 Christian families evicted], and today terror and threats have reached the hearts and souls of our Coptic children in Sinai."
In late 2012, it was reported that the last Christian in the city of Homs, Syria—which had a Christian population of some 80,000 before jihadis came—was murdered. An escaped teenage Syrian girl said: "We left because they were trying to kill us… because we were Christians…. Those who were our neighbors turned against us. At the end, when we ran away, we went through balconies. We did not even dare go out on the street in front of our house."
In the African nation of Mali, after a 2012 Islamic coup, as many as 200,000 Christians fled. According to reports, "the church in Mali faces being eradicated," especially in the north "where rebels want to establish an independent Islamist state and drive Christians out… there have been house to house searches for Christians who might be in hiding, church and Christian property has been looted or destroyed, and people tortured into revealing any Christian relatives." At least one pastor was beheaded.
One can go on and on:
In Ethiopia, after a Christian was accused of desecrating a Koran, thousands of Christians were forced to flee their homes when "Muslim extremists set fire to roughly 50 churches and dozens of Christian homes."
In the Ivory Coast—where Christians have been crucified—Islamic rebels "massacred hundreds and displaced tens of thousands" of Christians.
In Libya, Islamic rebels forced several Christian nun orders serving the sick and needy since 1921 to flee and killed several Coptic Christians, causing that community also to flee.
In Muslim-majority northern Nigeria, where hardly a Sunday passes without a church bombing, Christians are fleeing by the thousands; one region has been emptied of 95% of its Christian population.
In Pakistan, after a Christian child was falsely accused of desecrating a Koran and Muslims went on an anti-Christian rampage, an entire Christian village—men, women, and children—was forced to flee into the nearby woods, where they built a church, to permanently reside there.
Despite all these atrocities, exoduses, and even genocides, the mainstream media seems to spend every available moment airing images of displaced Palestinians and demonizing Israel for trying to defend itself. Yet Israel does not kill Palestinians because of their religion or any other personal aspects. It does so in the context of being rocketed and trying to defend itself from terrorism.
On the other hand, all the crimes being committed by Muslims against Christians are simply motivated by religious hate, because the Christians are Christian.
It is to the mainstream media's great shame that those who slaughter, behead, crucify, and displace people for no other reason than because they are Christian, rarely if ever get media coverage, while a nation such as Israel, which kills only in the context of self-defense, and not out of religious bigotry, is constantly demonized.

IFTIKHAR IS AT IT AGAIN WITH MISLEADING RANTS, BUT REALITY IS QUITE DIFFERENT FROM HOW HE IS TRYING TO MISLEAD:
FIRST: The Muslim immigrants from Pakistan came here to get away from the dismal conditions in that country, but want to establish the same in dismal conditions now in the U.K. This is absurd. They are ISOLATIONIST who are against genuine multicultural society and want to reestablish their dismal society in the U.K. and ruin the U.K. like their native Pakistan. They do not want to mingle with the British and become a part of genuine multiculturism.
SECOND: They have made their neighborhoods in the U.K. dangerous no-go zones for non-members of Islam, and have even protested against freedom and for enslaving Sarah law.
To see actual pictures showing Muslims in London against freedom and British society, go to,
THIRD: On rape and women’s rights, Muslims have always used rape as a means of controlling and degrading women and for political purposes. This has been vividly shown in Egypt and elsewhere as follows:
Rape in Egypt: The Muslim Brotherhood 'Gets Even'
by Raymond Ibrahim
Human Events
June 18, 2014
Muslim Brotherhood sympathizers recently went on a sexual assault and rape spree in Egypt as a way of "getting even" with those women who dared to celebrate the presidential victory of Abdel Fatteh al-Sisi—the former army chief who overthrew Muslim Brotherhood rule in Egypt.
On June 8, when tens of thousands of Egyptians congregated in Tahrir Square to celebrate Sisi's inauguration, dozens of women were sexually assaulted and many more harassed. According to a statement later released by the Ministry of Interior, seven men between the ages of 15 and 49 were arrested for sexually assaulting "a number of women."
One 19-year-old female student was especially brutalized—and videotaped as she was stripped naked and sexually assaulted by a throng of men. (I saw the graphic video on YouTube, though it has since been removed; a much less graphic clip of the initial assault appears here.) A gun-waving police officer eventually managed to rescue the woman from her ordeal, though after sustaining injuries himself. [do we want this in the U.K.?]
Sexually harassing or raping those supportive of Sisi by way of "retribution" is not uncommon in Egypt. Earlier, a six-year-old boy was raped by a Muslim Brotherhood member who was "angered" at the child for singing praises to Sisi. He lured the boy into a shed, locked the doors, and proceeded to rape him, while saying, "You're always holding pictures of this Sisi and singing his praises. Come, I'll humiliate and break you—and your Sisi."
Although Western media never specify who is behind these sexual assaults—often citing "the mob"—Hala Sarhan, a popular TV host in Egypt alluded to the ultimate source that legitimizes sexual harassment and rape in Egypt, namely, Islamist preachers and leaders: [do we want this in the U.K.?]
What was said to these people [rapists] to brainwash them into think that such violations on the person and body of this young girl [the aforementioned rape victim] were permissible? … I'll tell you. The one in parliament who said this, is the same as the man who did that… And the one who told that girl that she is an infidel, is the same as the one in parliament who said that it's permissible to marry a 9-year-old girl [based on the prophet of Islam's example when he married the girl-child Aisha]. The ones who in the mosques told him that they [women] are in the pits of hell and the lures of Satan—adulteresses, that Satan lives in their bodies… This is what they tell them in the mosques! And they're so upset now [Islamist preachers] because they can no longer continue to preach like this in the mosques! We thank you minister of religious endowments for stopping this mockery! [The new Egyptian government has cracked down on radical preachers.] Before [under Morsi], every guy that yelled and stomped got himself a pulpit to preach such thoughts into the minds of the youth—and then they went out thinking they are doing jihad. You see, they have this thing in their mind that says "If we curse or attack an infidel, that is jihad"…. Concerning the previous cases of sexual harassment, they [Islamist authorities] told people, "Why did she [any violated woman] leave her house in the first place? She deserves what she got!" They told them, "Your sister needs to be circumcised"; told them, "In the house, beat her and discipline her, break her bones; and if she refuses to have sex with you, saying she's tired or sick, curse her with the angels till the sun rises." We allowed these people to fill their minds with such ideas! [do we want this in the U.K.?]
Such honesty is reminiscent of an Egyptian op-ed that appeared after a young Coptic woman was murdered by a pro-Brotherhood mob because they identified her as a Christian:
Those who killed the young and vulnerable Mary Sameh George, for hanging a cross in her car, are not criminals, but rather wretches who follow those who legalized for them murder, lynching, dismemberment, and the stripping bare of young Christian girls—without every saying "kill." [Islamic cleric] Yassir Burhami and his colleagues who announce their hate for Christians throughout satellite channels and in mosques—claiming that hatred of Christians is synonymous with love for Allah—they are the true killers who need to be tried and prosecuted.
At any rate, using sexual harassment and rape to force people to comply with Islamist agendas has a long history, especially in Egypt. In 2011, during the "Arab Spring," when the Muslim Brotherhood and other Islamists were released from prison, legitimized and eventually rose to power, sexual harassment skyrocketed, as one graph showed. Moreover, UN research done in 2013, when Morsi was president, suggested that 99.3% of Egyptian women had experienced sexual harassment. [do we want this in the U.K.?]
Indeed, in February, 2013, hundreds of Egyptian women took to the streets of Tahrir Square to protest this nonstop harassment. They held slogans like "Silence is unacceptable, my anger will be heard," and "A safe square for all; Down with sexual harassment." "Marchers also shouted chants against President Mohamed Morsi and the Muslim Brotherhood group from which he hails," wrote Al Ahram Online.
The response was more sexual harassment and rapes. One woman was gang-raped for approximately 20 minutes and nearly died. And as Hala Sarhan pointed out, elements from the then Islamist-heavy government under Morsi blamed the women themselves, saying that:
women taking part in protests bear the responsibility of being sexually harassed, [and] describing what happens in some demonstrators' tents as "prostitution." Major General Adel Afify, member of the committee representing the Salafi Asala Party, criticized female protesters, saying that they "know they are among thugs. They should protect themselves before requesting that the Interior Ministry does so. By getting herself involved in such circumstances, the woman has 100 percent responsibility."
Likewise, popular Salafi preacher Abu Islam sarcastically blamed the victims:
"They tell you women are a red line. They tell you that naked women [i.e., not wearing veils or hijabs]—who are going to Tahrir Square because they want to be raped—are a red line! And they ask Morsi and the Brotherhood to leave power!" Abu Islam added that these women activists are going to Tahrir Square not to protest but to be sexually abused because they had wanted to be raped. "They have no shame, no fear and not even feminism. Practice your feminism, sheikha! It is a legitimate right for you to be a woman," he said. "And by the way, 90 percent of them are crusaders [i.e. Christian Copts] and the remaining 10 percent are widows who have no one to control them. You see women talking like monsters," he added. [do we want this in the U.K.?]
The only silver lining in this cloud of Islamist rape that hovers over Egypt is that the differences between Morsi and his Brotherhood government, and Sisi and the post-Brotherhood government, are already apparent. In response to the endemic sexual harassment in Egypt, the new government passed a law criminalizing all forms of sexual harassment… A new article, which has been issued into power, adds a harsh punishment to those found guilty of unwanted sexual contact…. Other amended laws, under article 306, declare that those found guilty of verbal sexual harassment in a private or public place will be sentenced to a minimum of six months in prison and fined no less than EGP 3,000 ( 420).
When I recently asked some analyst colleagues in Egypt if Morsi ever took any such measures against sexual harassment, the quip I received most was along the lines of "Take measures? He was the one ordering sexual harassment against his female critics."
Still, and in keeping with Western MSM journalism, Sisi, who at least appears to be trying to take some measures against sexual harassment, is now being portrayed by the Guardian in a cynical light—while Morsi who did nothing and whose Islamist allies were responsible for inciting violence against women got a free pass—just like the New York Times recently tried to blame Sisi for the plight of Egypt's religious minorities, without mentioning that it was often Morsi and the Islamists who put them there in the first place.

FOURTH: Islam fails to clean house.
Now of course it is important to recognize that not all Muslims are terrorist and jihadists nor refuse to recognize the property rights of others, it is likewise equally important to recognize that all jihadists are members of Islam. Islam is totally responsible for their actions as they tacitly approve of their evil wrong doing and have never cleaned house of these wicked ones. To wit, by not doing so, they have taken on the responsibility for their wrongful actions upon themselves. Yes, of course they are not the only religion that has failed to clean house; thus taking on the guilt of these wrong doers. Any religion, no exception, which fails to clean house is nothing but an evil false religion. And as previously stated, ‘Now many religions seek to escape reality by claiming they have no provisions within their religion for purging out these wicked ones, but this is no excuse since it is their failure to provide measures for purging out these wicked ones and no one else’s.’
FIFTH: Islam has no respect for others and is against freedom of religion – see the proof:
They openly commit crimes against humanity with respect to their intolerance in regards to Christians, read reality, the evidence.
Islam: 'Appalling and Abhorrent' in the Eyes of a Blind World?
by Raymond Ibrahim
Human Events
May 21, 2014
A few days ago in Sudan, an eight-month pregnant wife and mother was sentenced to death by hanging for refusing to renounce Christ and embrace Islam. According to theLA Times:
The court also ordered Ibrahim to be flogged for having sexual relations with her husband, since her marriage is not recognized by officials.
Ibrahim refused a court order Sunday giving her several days to renounce her Christian faith, which resulted in the sentencing Thursday….
Ibrahim, currently jailed with her son, will be allowed to give birth and raise her second child until the age of 2 years but then faces execution. Sudanese authorities refuse to allow Ibrahim's son [an American citizen] to reside with her husband because the husband is Christian.
Tragic as this story is, it is also immensely commonplace in Islamic countries. Why? Because Islamic law does in fact punish the apostate from Islam—including with death—in accordance with the commands of the Muslim prophet Muhammad. Indeed, many Muslim clerics believe that "If the [death] penalty for apostasy was ignored, there would not be an Islam today; Islam would have ended on the death of the prophet," as top Sheikh Yusuf Qaradawi once declared on live television.
Of more significance is the Amnesty International statement concerning Meriam Ibrahim's plight. While its criticism is aimed at Sudan's legal system, the statement unwittingly provides a glimpse of how the international community would view Islam if it could actually understand that these human rights abuses are not products of this or that government or regime, but of Islam itself.
According to the Amnesty International statement:
The fact that a woman has been sentenced to death for her religious choice, and to flogging for being married to a man of an allegedly different religion is appalling and abhorrent.
Adultery and apostasy are acts which should not be considered crimes at all. It is flagrant breach of international human rights law. The right to freedom of thought, conscience and religion, which includes the freedom to hold beliefs, is far-reaching and profound; it encompasses freedom of thought on all matters, personal conviction and the commitment to religion or belief (emphasis added).
If, as Amnesty International declares, flogging and executing a person, in this case a pregnant woman, because of her "religious choice" and marrying a man of a "different religion" are "appalling and abhorrent"; if they are a "flagrant breach of international human rights law"—what do we make of the fact that Muslim converts to Christianity are punished and sometimes killed all across the Islamic world?
Consider the following anecdotes, a few examples, most from 2013 alone (culled from my monthly "Muslim Persecution of Christians" series and listed in country alphabetical order):
Afghanistan: A member of Afghanistan's Parliament said that all Afghans who convert to Christianity should be executed. His exact words: "Afghani citizens continue to convert to Christianity in India.
Numerous Afghanis have become Christians in India. This is an offense to Islamic Laws and according to the Quran they need to be executed." As one of many live examples, Said Musa, an amputee and father of six young children, was once charged with apostasy and pressured to renounce Christianity, but he refused. So he was imprisoned, suffering "sexual abuse, beatings, mockery, and sleep deprivation because of his faith in Jesus."
Algeria: The wife of Ali Touahir, a 52-year-old Muslim convert to Christianity, left him, taking their seven-year-old daughter, and is divorcing him in court. One of his wife's brothers openly threatened to kill apostate. The wife's lawyer asserted: "It is not possible that my client [the Muslim wife] still remain under the same roof with a man who has renounced his religion, as he became apostate; and we are not ignorant of the punishment that is due an apostate under sharia [death]."
Cameroon: Two Muslim converts to Christianity were shot dead and two others wounded, in the Christian-majority African nation where Muslims make approximately 20 percent of the population. One of them was previously threatened by the Nigerian Islamic terrorist group Boko Haram to return to Islam or "face Allah's wrath." [do we want this in the U.K.?]
Egypt: A court sentenced an entire family—Nadia Mohamed Ali and her seven children—to fifteen years in prison for converting to Christianity. A born Christian, Nadia had earlier converted to Islam and married a Muslim man; reconverting back to Christianity after the death of her husband, she attempted to reflect this change formally on her identity card and her children's, which created suspicions among security, who arrested the family. Separately and days ago in Egypt, after a former Muslim woman on live television announced her apostasy and lack of faith in Muhammad as the "Messenger of Allah," she was insulted, ridiculed, and thrown off the set by the host.
Iran: Imprisoned American pastor Saeed Abedini was reported as "facing physical and psychological torture at the hands of captors demanding he renounce his beliefs." The 32-year-old married father of two, who left his home in Boise, Idaho, to help start an orphanage in his former country, once detailed "horrific pressures" and "death threats" in a letter to family members: "My eyes get blurry, my body does not have the strength to walk, and my steps become very weak and shaky… They are only waiting for one thing…for me to deny Christ. But they will never get this from me." The imprisonment and torture of Muslim converts to Christianity in Iran is quite common (recall the plight of Pastor Yousef Nadarkhani). According to Adnkronos News, "renouncing the Muslim faith is punishable with the death penalty [in Iran]. Over 300 Iranian converts to Christianity have been arrested over the past two years, according to opposition websites." [do we want this in the U.K.?]
Kyrgyz: After a young Muslim girl converted to Christianity, her parents "wanted her to recant and renounce her faith in Christ, so they began to beat her systematically till she lost consciousness… It was winter when all of this happened, so her parents put her into a cold room and kept her there for several days. Still they were unable to break her spirit. They then started pulling her hair and put her face against the stove, burning her face. In spite of this, she remained faithful."
Morocco: A fatwa, or Islamic decree, by the government's top religious authority, calls for the execution of those Muslims who leave Islam, causing many Christian converts to live in fear. Lamented one Christian: "The fatwa showed us that our country is still living in the old centuries—no freedom, no democracy. Unfortunately, we feel that we aren't protected. We can be arrested or now even killed any time and everywhere. The majority of the Christian Moroccan leaders have the same feeling. We are more followed now by the secret police than before. Only the Grace of our Lord Jesus Christ gives us courage and peace." [do we want this in the U.K.?]
Pakistan: A 16-year-old Muslim boy who converted to Christianity was abducted in Peshawar by Taliban-linked Islamic militants "and his fate may already be marked, as he is considered 'guilty of apostasy.'" As one Pakistani pastor explained, "If a young Muslim converts to Christianity in Pakistan, he is forced to live in hiding. Every Muslim might feel compelled to kill him. The change of religion is not punished by the civil law, it is punishable by Islamic law. For this reason cases of Muslim conversion to Christianity are very rare and some convert in secret." Muhammad Kamran, a Muslim convert to Christianity, exemplifies the pastor's words. After he told his wife of his conversion, she abused and exposed him, resulting in his being severely beaten by local Muslims. In his words: "No one was willing to let me live the life I wanted [as a Christian]—they say Islam is not a religion of compulsion, but no one has been able to tell me why Muslims who don't find satisfaction in the religion [such as myself] become liable to be killed." [do we want this in the U.K.?]
Saudi Arabia: After a woman was exposed as having converted to Christianity, she was sentenced to six years in prison and 300 lashes. Although she managed to flee the nation and went into hiding, the Christian Lebanese man accused of introducing her to Christianity received six years in prison and 300 lashes.
Somalia: The Al-Qaeda linked Al Shabaab ("The Youth"), which has vowed to cleanse the Horn of Africa of all Christian presence, has slaughtered countless Muslim converts to Christianity—men, women, and children—in the last few years. Most recently, Al Shabaab shot to death 42-year-old Fartun Omar, a widow and mother of five, for converting to Christianity. Months earlier, they had killed her husband for the same "crime," and had been hunting for the wife. In a separate incident, Al Shabaab publicly executed a 28-year-old man after determining that he had in fact become a Christian. Al Shabaab Muslims also seized Hassan Gulled, 25, for leaving Islam and converting to Christianity, andimprisoned him, and tortured him. According to local sources, "Al Shabaab have been torturing him to see whether he would deny his Christian faith. Since last week, no information has surfaced concerning Gulled. There is a possibility that he could have been killed." [do we want this in the U.K.?]
Tanzania: At the time pregnant and with three children, Lukia Khalid explained how when she told her Muslim husband that she had converted to Christianity, "He threatened to kill me if I was to stay with him. I then decided to escape that night with my three children to a neighbor's house…. We left only with the clothes that we were wearing. The command was so urgent that we could not wait any longer. We had to leave immediately." Last heard, they were living in destitute conditions.
One can go on and on with examples (see Crucified Again: Exposing Islam's New War on Christians, pages 96-135, for a more thorough expose, including on the doctrine and history of apostasy in Islam, and dozens of more recent examples).
Returning to Meriam Ibrahim, the pregnant Sudanese mother set to be executed for refusing to recant Christ and embrace Islam, some questions and observations are in order:
Are all the other anecdotes listed above not equally "appalling and abhorrent"—to use Amnesty International's words describing Meriam's specific plight? Are they not all a "flagrant breach of international human rights law"?
If so, and if the international community is actually serious about putting a stop to them, should it not try to ascertain the true source behind them?
After all, considering that Muslim converts to Christianity are being attacked all throughout the Islamic world—including in nations as diverse as Algeria, Iran, Pakistan, Egypt, and Kyrgyz—surely the source is not something as simple as "Sudan's legal system."
The fact is, Muslim converts to Christianity are even under attack in Europe. In Norway alone, for example, two Iranian converts out for a walk were stabbed with knives by masked men shouting "infidels!" One of the men stabbed had converted in Iran, was threatened there, and immigrated to Norway, thinking he could escape Islam's apostasy penalty. Earlier, an Afghan convert to Christianity was scalded with boiling water and acid at a Norwegian refugee processing center: "If you do not return to Islam, we will kill you," his attackers told him.
Of course, the true source for all these attacks on Muslim converts to Christianity—in nations that do not share race, language, culture, politics, or economics—is Islam itself. Anyone with common sense, anyone with the ability to be honest with oneself, must concede as much. There is no other reasonable way to explain such identical patterns of abuse in such a wide array of nations. [do we want this in the U.K.?]
But so long as the international community and human rights organizations fail to employ some common sense and honesty—fail to call a spade a spade—so will they ensure that countless more innocent humans like Meriam Ibrahim continue to suffer "appalling and abhorrent" treatment, simply for trying to exercise their "right to freedom of thought, conscience and religion" under Islam.

Boko Haram’s leader Abubakar Shekau recently made a video in which he taunted the mothers of the girls he kidnapped and bragged, while praising Allah, how he will sell them on the market. [do we want this in the U.K.?]
Frontpage editors have decided to shed light on the Islamic context of Shekau’s barbaric acts and words by reprinting a segment of an interviewfrom our November 23, 2007 issue, in which Dr. Bill Warner discussed the inspiration and sanctioning that Muslims find in Islam for slavery and rape:
Frontpage Interview’s guest today is Bill Warner, the director of the Center for the Study of Political Islam (CSPI) and spokesman forpoliticalislam.com. CSPI’s goal is to teach the doctrine of political Islam through its books and it has produced an eleven book series on political Islam. Mr. Warner did not write the CSPI series, but he acts as the agent for a group of scholars who are the authors. The Center’s latest book is The Submission of Women and Slaves, Islamic Duality.
FP: Bill Warner, welcome back to Frontpage Magazine. This is the second part in our two-part series with you on the Center’s most recent book. In the first part we discussed Islam and its doctrine on the submission of women. In this second and final part we will discuss the matter of slavery.
Warner: It is a pleasure to work with Frontpage.
FP: So tell us in general where Islam stands on slavery.
Warner: Islam’s stand on slavery is based on its political principles of submission and duality. The principle of submission could not be clearer. By definition a slave is the most submissive of all people. You become a slave only when you have no more choices. A slave has completely submitted to a master.
The principle of duality is shown by the fact that Islam does not enslave Muslims, only kafirs (non-Muslims). Since only kafirs are enslaved, it assures that more of the world submits to Islam.
Islamic slavery is based on the Trilogy of the Koran, the Sira (Mohammed’s life) and the Hadith (the Traditions of Mohammed). All three texts say that slavery is permitted, ethical, desirable and a virtue. There is not one single negative word about slavery.
Slavery is seen as a process that brings kafirs to Islam. It is a virtue to free slaves, but Mohammed only freed slaves who submitted to Islam. If the kafir slave does not submit, then their children will. So given enough time, slaves convert to Islam. That is one of the reasons that Islam sees slavery as a positive. [do we want this in the U.K.?]
Of course, there is another reason that Islam sees slavery as being so “good” and that is the money. Mohammed and the other jihadists made a fortune out of enslaving kafirs. Mohammed used the money for more jihad. So slavery financed the spread of Islam and jihad from the beginning. [Muhammad should be tried posthumously for his crimes to show the world how bad his crimes against humanity were.]
FP: What were the ingredients of Mohammed’s own life in terms of slavery?
Warner: Mohammed is the perfect pattern for all humanity and his life was saturated in slavery. When his mother died, it was a freed slave who nursed him. His first wife owned slaves. One of his first converts was a slave. His closest friend, Abu Bakr, traded one of his black kafir slaves for a Muslim who was enslaved by a kafir.
But all of this was small change compared to his envolvement with slavery once he turned to jihad. In his first major battle at Badr, he stood by and prayed as his henchmen beat and tortured captured slaves to get information about the enemy kafirs.
Slaves made Mohammed’s pulpit. Slaves mended his cloths, cooked his food, and did every thing that a slave does for the master. He gave away slaves as gifts and received them as gifts. He went to war to kill the males so that the remaining people would surrender to be sold as slaves. Mohammed sold slaves on both the retail and wholesale markets.
He offered captured slaves their freedom if they would first agree that he was the prophet of Allah. A kafir slave then became a slave of Allah, because all Muslims are slaves of Allah. For a slave, the religion of Mohammed started and ended with slavery.
FP: Can you talk a bit about Islam and sexual slavery?
Warner: All morality in Islam is patterned after the example of Mohammed. Everything that he did and said defines what is permitted or “good”. Mohammed repeatedly sanctioned forced sex (rape) with kafir females after they were captured. The Hadith clearly reports that he got first choice of the women. In one case, he repeatedly demanded one particular woman for himself and swapped two other kafir slave women for his choice. So if Mohammed was involved in the rape of kafirs, then rape is a virtue, not a sin or error. [do we want this in the U.K.?]
When Mohammed destroyed the B. Qurayza tribe, all of the adult male Jews were beheaded, so that no husbands were left. Mohammed then took the children and gave them to Muslims to raise as Muslims and he sold off the Jewish women as slaves.
We know from another story that the women were divided into sex slaves and domestic slaves. In one scene, a jihadist is trying to obtain a high ransom for a woman and he is told that her breasts are flat and her mouth is cold, so her value was less. In short, she was only good for work around the house, not in the bedroom.
The Hadith tells of another story where the Muslims used coitus interruptus to avoid impregnating the kafir sex slaves. The reason was purely for business. If the kafir sex slave was pregnant, then she was worth less money.
Islamic doctrine says that kafir women should not be used for prostitutes, only for the pleasure of the master.
When Mohammed attacked the Jews at Khaybar, many moral precedents were set. Sexual slavery received an entire set of rules. Muslims were not to rape pregnant or menstruating women until they had delivered the child or finished their periods. At Khaybar, Mohammed’s god Allah, announced that even married women were fair game for rape.
Mohammed only killed some of the Jews at Khaybar. The male and female survivors were needed to work the land as dhimmis. (The original dhimmis were semi-slaves with no civil rights. Today, dhimmis are ignorant kafirs who apologize for Islam.) Since Islam needed the men to work, husbands were left alive. That was the reason that the Koran said that in this case, even with the husbands looking on, it was good to rape the women. [do we want this in the U.K.?]
Sexual slavery was not only fun and profitable for the Muslim men, but rape was a powerful tactic of war, then and today. The women are forced into submission to Muslim men and the husbands are humiliated. Humiliated men are weakened men, so more kafirs were less able to resist Islam.
For some time Mohammed’s favorite sex partner was a Christian slave from Egypt named Mary. One of Mohammed’s wives caught him in some state of intimacy with Mary in the wife’s bedroom and raised hell. Mohammed promised to not do it again and moved Mary to her own apartment in Medina.
Mohammed had received Mary and her sister as gifts. He gave her sister away to a Muslim poet. He was used to giving away sex slaves. He gave several of his top lieutenants kafir sex slaves. Umar, who later became caliph, gave his sex slave to his son. [As an aside, when he was caliph, his son got drunk and Umar beat him to death.]
FP: This institution of Islamic sexual slavery isn’t just a reality of the past is it?
Warner: Everything that has been said up to now is not only history; it is Sunna (the example of the perfect pattern of action and morality found in Mohammed). So today we don’t have a beautiful blonde Christian girl on the block in Mecca, but we have continuous and ongoing rapes by Muslims in kafir cities. This goes on everywhere that Islam goes because it is Sunna.
This is a continuous 1400-year history of jihad. In every detailed history that comes from the original documents from history, rape is a constant. You have to look in the original documents, since our historians refuse to report it in so-called history books.
Rape is Sunna. Rape is not a sin. Rape is permitted and encouraged by Mohammed and the Koran. Islam is the only political system in the world that includes rules for rape and war. Rape is jihad. How good can it get? A Muslim gets to rape a kafir girl and get heaven credits. All jihad is a ticket to Paradise.
The most disgusting aspect of the Islamic rape of kafirs is not the rapes, but the kafir response. Kafirs become dhimmis by ignoring the rapes. I challenge you to find one, even one, mention of Islamic rape in the history books.
Islamic rape is more taboo than the N-word in the media. At least the N-word is acknowledged to exist. Even unicorns exist in media fantasy. But Islamic rape is forbidden to even exist as a fantasy.
And to reach a fevered rant: our so-called “feminist” scholars are absolutely intellectually and morally bankrupt hypocrites. They are traitors to our culture and a shame and a disgrace. They remain silent in the face of heinous crimes against women. They are arch-dhimmis when they refuse to speak of the Sunna, history and current rapes of our daughters, mothers, and sisters.

SIXTH: Iftikhar in his rants always criticizes British that while is not perfect, is many many times better that Pakistani society practiced among ISOLATIONIST immigrant from Pakistan in the U.K. Here is more on that:
Iftikhar continues to criticize the British, and question the U.K. school education which is so much better than the education in most Muslim countries. In fact, it is particularly bad in his native Pakistan where some fanatics go around burning schools for girls and even shooting a teen age girl for advocating for education for girls. Talk of extremism, the Pakistan education system and society is riddled with it – to the extreme, however, he fails to ever mention this fact in his anti-British rants.
SEVENTH: They use extreme persecution against Christians as shown by the following case:
KHARTOUM, Sudan (AP) — A pregnant Sudanese woman who married a Christian man was sentenced to death Thursday after she refused to recant her Christian faith, her lawyer said.
Meriam Ibrahim, whose father was Muslim but mother was an Orthodox Christian from Ethiopia, was convicted of "apostasy" on Sunday and given four days to repent and escape death, said lawyer Al-Shareef Ali al-Shareef Mohammed.
The 26 year old, who is eight months pregnant, was sentenced after that grace period expired, Mohammed said.
Amnesty International immediately condemned the sentence, calling it "abhorrent." The U.S. State Department said it was "deeply disturbed" by the sentencing and called on the government to respect the right to freedom of religion.
Mohammed, the lawyer, called the conviction rushed and legally flawed since the judge refused to hear key defense witnesses and ignored constitutional provisions on freedom of worship and equality among citizens.
Ibrahim and Wani married in a formal church ceremony in 2011 and have a son, 18-month-old Martin, who is with her in jail. The couple runs several businesses, including a farm, south of Khartoum.
Sudan's penal code criminalizes the conversion of Muslims into other religions, which is punishable by death.
As in many Muslim nations, Muslim women in Sudan are prohibited from marrying non-Muslims, though Muslim men can marry outside their faith. By law, children must follow their father's religion.
Sudan introduced Islamic Shariah laws in the early 1980s under the rule of autocrat Jaafar Nimeiri, a move that contributed to the resumption of an insurgency in the mostly animist and Christian south of Sudan. An earlier round of civil war lasted 17 years and ended in 1972. The south seceded in 2011 to become the world's newest nation, South Sudan.
Sudanese President Omar Bashir, an Islamist who seized power in a 1989 military coup, says his country will implement Islam more strictly now that the non-Muslim south is gone.
A number of Sudanese have been convicted of apostasy in recent years, but they all escaped execution by recanting their new faith. Religious thinker and politician Mahmoud Mohammed Taha, a critic of Nimeiri and his interpretation of Shariah, was sentenced to death after his conviction of apostasy. He was executed in 1985 at the age of 76.
Mohammed said he intends to appeal Ibrahim's conviction.
"The judge has exceeded his mandate when he ruled that Meriam's marriage was void because her husband was out of her faith," Mohammed told The Associated Press. "He was thinking more of Islamic Shariah laws than of the country's laws and its constitution."
He said Ibrahim's Muslim father left her mother when she was a child and her mother raised her as a Christian.
The court in the capital, Khartoum, also ordered that Ibrahim be given 100 lashes for having what it considers sexual relations with her husband, Daniel Wani, a Christian from southern Sudan who has U.S. citizenship, according to the lawyer and judicial officials who spoke on condition of anonymity in line with regulations. Wani was acquitted of a charge of harboring an apostate, according to another defense lawyer, Eman Abdul-Rahim… [source - retrieved from on 5/15/2014]
