Part 2 of GREATEST LIE TOLD BY ISLAM:

There, we encounter a noteworthy phenomenon: the not infrequent
religious connotation of the root smd.
In Ugaritic, smd appears as a stick or club that is wielded by Ba'l.
In the Kilammu inscription, line 15, we find b'l smd, apparently, b'l
as the owner of his divine club. In the Bible, the adherence of the
Israelites to Baal of Peor is expressed by the nip'al of the root smd.
The verb is translated by the Septuagint heteleuse (Numeri 25:3, 5;
Ps. 106:28). The use of the verb doubtlessly reflects North Canaanite
religious terminology.
From Arabic sources, we learn that an idol of 'Ad was allegedly called
samud, which brings us rather close to the environment of Muhammad
...
In view of this material, the suggestion may be made that as-samad in
the Qur'an is a survival of an ancient Northwest Semitic religious
term, which may no longer have been understood by Muhammad himself,
nor by the old poets (if the sawahid should be genuine). This
suggestion would well account for the presence of the article with the
word in the Qur'an, and it would especially well account for the
hesitation of the commentators vis-a-vis so prominent a passage. Such
hesitation is what we would expect if we are dealing with a pagan
survival from the early period of the revelation." [What the Koran
Really Says: Language, Text, & Commentary, "Some Minor Problems in the
Qur'an", edited with translation by Ibn Warraq {Prometheus Books,
October, 2002, Hardcover; ISBN: 157392945X}, part 5.2, pp. 336-337]
Let's face it the proper name 'Allah' was much in use in pre-Islamic
times and applied to pagan deities, now it is shown that 'Allah' is
indicated to be the same as the pagan deity condemned by the Bible,
'Baal.'
"Allah, the paramount deity of pagan Arabia, was the target of worhip
in varying degrees of intensity from the southernmost tip of Arabia to
the Mediterranean. To the Babylonians he was "Il" (god); to the
Canaanites, and later the Israelites, he was "El"; the South Arabians
worshiped him as "Ilah," and the Bedouins as "al-Ilah" (the deity).
With Muhammad he becomes Allah, God of the Worlds, of all believers,
the one and only who admits of no associates or consorts in the
worship of Him. Judaic and Christian concepts of God abetted the
transformation of Allah from a pagan deity to the God of all
monotheists. There is no reason, therefore, to accept the idea that
"Allah" passed to the Muslims from Christians and Jews." [Caesar E.
Farah, Ph.D., Islam {Barron's Educational Series, 2000, sixth edition
paperback} p. 28]
CONCLUSION:
Clearly Islam owes term 'Allah' to the pagan/heathen Arabs. "We have
evidence that it entered into numerous personal names in Northern
Arabia and among the Nabatians. It occurs among the Arabs of later
times, in theophorus names and on its own. Wellhausen also cites
pre-Islamic literature where Allah is mentioned as a great deity. We
also have the testimony of the Koran itself where He is recognized as
a giver of rain, a creator, and so on; the Meccans only crime was to
worship other gods beside Him. Eventually, Allah was only applied to
the Supreme Deity. "In any case it is an extremely important fact that
Muhammad did not find it necessary to introduce an altogether novel
deity, but contented himself with ridding the heathen Allah of his
companions subjecting him to a kind of dogmatic purification ... Had
he not been accustomed from his youth to the idea of Allah as the
Supreme God, in particular of Mecca, it may well be doubted whether he
would ever have come forward as the preacher of Monotheism." [Ibn
Warraq, Why I Am Not A Muslim {Prometheus Books, Amherst NY, 1995},
pp. 39-40, 42]
Ibn Warraq continues on, "Interesting is the name HUBAL (in Arabic and
Hebrew script the vowels were not noted). This shows a very suspicious
connection to the Hebrew HABAAL the Baal). As we all know this was
an idol mentioned in the Bible (Num. 25:3, Hosea 9:10, Deut. 4:3,
Josh. 22:17 and Ps. 106:28-29). Where was Baal worshipped? In Moab! It
was the "god of fertility". Amr ibn Luhaiy brought Hubal from Moab to
Arabia.
The name 'Allah' (from 'al-Ilah' - the god or 'al-Liah' = the one
worshipped) was well used in pre-Islamic times. It was rather a title
than a name and, was used for a diversity of deities. As we shall see
later, an idol called Hubal was addressed as Allah. Muhammad's
grandfather reportedly prayed to Hubal and addressed him as Allah. The
deities al-Lat, al-Uzza and Manat were called "the daughters of Allah"
(Surah 53:19). "Allah was viewed, already before Muhammad, as the Lord
of the Ka'ba, while, if not surely, but very probably, this sanctuary
was devoted to Hubal, whose image was placed inside" (RESTE ARABISCHEN
HEIDENTHUMS, p. 221 by J. Wellhausen). "While the rituals performed
are still addressed to the respective deities, Allah is seen as the
creator, the father and with that the superior Lord. But he is viewed
to be too general, neutral and impersonal a Lord" [Ibn Warraq, Why I
Am Not A Muslim {Prometheus Books, Amherst NY, 1995}, p. 219].
Therefore, "But the vague notion of Supreme (NOT SOLE) divinity which
Allah seems to have connoted in Meccan religion was to BECOME both
universal and transcendental; it was to be turned by the Kur'anic
preaching, into the affirmation of the living God, the Exalted One."
[Encyclopedia of Islam, 1960, p. 406; capital emphasis ours].
Part 2, The Facts on Allah:
The Fact on The Name "Allah"
It should not come as a surprise that the word "Allah" was not
something invented by Muhammad or revealed for the first time in the
Quran.
The well-known Middle East scholar H.A.R. Gibb has pointed out that
the reason that Muhammad never had to explain who Allah was in the
Quran is that his listeners had already heard about Allah long before
Muhammad was ever born [Mohammedanism: An Historical Survey, New York:
Mentor Books, 1955, p.38]
Dr. Arthur Jeffery, one of the foremost Western Islamic scholars in
modern times and professor of Islamic and Middle East Studies at
Columbia University, notes:
"The name Allah, as the Quran itself is witness, was well known in
pre-Islamic Arabia. Indeed, both it and its feminine form, Allat, are
found not infrequently among the theophorous names in inscriptions
from North Africa" [Islam: Muhammad, and His Religion, New York: The
Liberal Arts Press, 1958, p. 85]
The word "Allah" comes from the compound Arabic word, al-ilah. Al is
the definite article "the" and ilah is an Arabic word for "god." It is
not a foreign word. It is not even the Syriac word for God. It is pure
Arabic. (There is an interesting discussion of the origins of Allah,
in "Arabic Lexicographical Miscellanies" by J. Blau in the Journal of
Semitic Studies, Vol. XVII, #2, 1972, pp. 173-190)[source - Arabic
Lexicographical Miscellanies by J. Blau in the Journal of Semitic
Studies, Vol. XVII, #2, 1972, pages 173-190]
Neither is Allah a Hebrew or Greek word for God as found in the Bible.
Allah is a purely Arabic term used in reference to an Arabian deity.
Hastings' Encyclopedia of Religion and Ethics I:326, T & T Clark,
states:
'"Allah" is a proper name, applicable only to their [Arabs'] peculiar God. '
According to the Encyclopedia of Religion:
'"Allah" is a pre-Islamic name . . . corresponding to the Babylonian
Bel' [Encyclopedia of Religion, I:117 Washington DC, Corpus Pub.,
1979]
For those who find it hard to believe that Allah was a pagan name for
a peculiar pagan Arabian deity in pre-Islamic times, the following
quotations may be helpful:
"Allah is found . . . in Arabic inscriptions prior to Islam"
[Encyclopedia Britannica, I:643]
"The Arabs, before the time of Mohammed, accepted and worshipped,
after a fashion, a supreme god called Allah" [Encyclopedia off Islam,
I:302, Leiden: E.J. Brill, 1913, Houtsma]
"Allah was known to the pre-Islamic . . . Arabs; he was one of the
Meccan deities" [Enyclopedia of Islam, I:406, ed. Gibb]
"Ilah . . . appears in pre-Islamic poetry . . . By frequency of usage,
al-ilah was contracted to Allah, frequently attested to in pre-Islamic
poetry" [Encyclopedia of Islam, III:1093, 1971]
"The name Allah goes back before Muhammad" [Encyclopedia of World
Mythology and Legend, I:41, Anthony Mercatante, New York, The Facts on
File, 1983]
"The origin of this (Allah) goes back to pre-Muslim times. Allah is
not a common name meaning "God" (or a "god"), and the Muslim must use
another word or form if he wishes to indicate any other than his own
peculiar deity" [Encyclopedia of Religion and Ethics, I:326, Hastings]
To the testimony of the above standard reference works, we add those
of such scholars as Henry Preserved Smith of Harvard University who
has stated:
"Allah was already known by name to the Arabs" [The Bible and Islam:
or, The Influence of the Old and New Testament on the Religion of
Mohammed, New York, Charles Scribner's Sons, 1897, p. 102].
Dr. Kenneth Cragg, former editor of the prestigious scholarly journal
Muslim World and an outstanding modern Western Islamic scholar, whose
works are generally published by Oxford University, comments:
"The name Allah is also evident in archeological and literary remains
of pre-Islamic Arabia" [The Call of the Minaret, New York: Oxford
University Press, 1956, p. 31].
Dr. W. Montgomery Watt, who was Professor of Arabic and Islamic
Studies at Edinburgh University and Visiting Professor of Islamic
studies at College de France, Georgetown University, and the
University of Toronto, has done extensive work on the pre-Islamic
concept of Allah. He concludes:
"In recent years I have become increasingly convinced that for an
adequate understanding of the career of Muhammad and the origins of
Islam great importance must be attached to the existence in Mecca of
belief in Allah as a "high god." In a sense this is a form of
paganism, but it is so different from paganism as commonly understood
that it deserves separate treatment" [William Montgomery Watt,
Muhammad's Mecca, p. vii. Also see his article, "Belief in a High God
in Pre-Islamic Mecca", Journal of Semitic Studies, Vol. 16, 1971, pp.
35-40]
Caesar Farah in his book on Islam concludes his discussion of the
pre-Islamic meaning of Allah by saying:
"There is no reason, therefore, to accept the idea that Allah passed
to the Muslims from the Christians and Jews" [Islam: Beliefs and
Observations, New York, Barrons, 1987, p. 28].
According to Middle East scholar E.M. Wherry, whose translation of the
Quran is still used today, in pre-Islamic times Allah-worship, as well
as the worship of Ba-al, were both astral religions in that they
involved the worship of the sun, the moon, and the stars [A
Comprehensive Commentary on the Quran, Osnabruck: Otto Zeller Verlag,
1973, p. 36].
Also, I have shown 'Allah' is a proper name for the Moon god, and the
title for any god in Arabic is 'Ilah.' The title god in Arabic is
'Ilah,' and not Allah. 'Ilah' is a title; whereas, Allah is a proper
name of a specific 'Ilah,' so get a dose of reality. Also, several New
Testament Bibles in Arabic the title ' Ar-Rab' means "The Lord" is
used.
APPENDIX:
[1]Interestingly, here are the meanings of several important words in Arabic:
Jesus in Arabic is Yesua
Word in Arabic is Kalam
Spirit in Arabic is Ruh
God in Arabic is Ilah
The in Arabic is El
[2] Astral Religions
In Arabia, the sun god was viewed as a female goddess and the moon as
the male god. As has been pointed out by many scholars such as Alfred
Guilluame, the moon god was called by various names, one of which was
Allah! (Islam, p. 7).
The name Allah was used as the personal name of the moon god, in
addition to other titles that could be given to him.
Allah, the moon god, was married to the sun goddess. Together they
produced three goddesses who were called "the daughters of Allah."
These three goddesses were called Al-Lat, Al-Uzza, and Manat.
The daughters of Allah, along with Allah and the sun goddess were
viewed as "high" gods. That is, they were viewed as being at the top
of the pantheon of Arabian deities.
"Along with Allah, however, they worshipped a host of lesser gods and
"daughters of Al-lah" [SOURCE - Encyclopedia of World Mythology and
Legend, I:61].
[3] The old middle eastern Moon god who has gone by many names is
still well venerated. This is shown by "The Archeology of The Middle
East" which states, "The religion of Islam has as its focus of worship
a deity by the name of "Allah." The Muslims claim that Allah in
pre-Islamic times was the biblical God of the Patriarchs, prophets,
and apostles. The issue is thus one of continuity. Was "Allah" the
biblical God or a pagan god in Arabia during pre-Islamic times? The
Muslim's claim of continuity is essential to their attempt to convert
Jews and Christians for if "Allah" is part of the flow of divine
revelation in Scripture, then it is the next step in biblical
religion. Thus we should all become Muslims. But, on the other hand,
if Allah was a pre-Islamic pagan deity, then its core claim is
refuted. Religious claims often fall before the results of hard
sciences such as archeology. We can endlessly speculate about the past
or go and dig it up and see what the evidence reveals. This is the
only way to find out the truth concerning the origins of Allah. As we
shall see, the hard evidence demonstrates that the god Allah was a
pagan deity. In fact, he was the Moon-god who was married to the sun
goddess and the stars were his daughters.
Archaeologists have uncovered temples to the Moon-god throughout the
Middle East. From the mountains of Turkey to the banks of the Nile,
the most wide-spread religion of the ancient world was the worship of
the Moon-god. In the first literate civilization, the Sumerians have
left us thousands of clay tablets in which they described their
religious beliefs. As demonstrated by Sjoberg and Hall, the ancient
Sumerians worshipped a Moon-god who was called many different names.
The most popular names were Nanna, Suen and Asimbabbar. His symbol was
the crescent moon. Given the amount of artifacts concerning the
worship of this Moon-god, it is clear that this was the dominant
religion in Sumeria. The cult of the Moon-god was the most popular
religion throughout ancient Mesopotamia. The Assyrians, Babylonians,
and the Akkadians took the word Suen and transformed it into the word
Sin as their favorite name for the Moon-god. As Prof. Potts pointed
out, "Sin is a name essentially Sumerian in origin which had been
borrowed by the Semites." [source - The Archeology of the Middle
East]"[additional references - "South Arabia's stellar religion has

Part 3, The Old Middle Eastern Moon God - Allah:
ANSWERS ON THE MOON GOD ALLAH
One individual asked,


I checked your website,
http://www.freewebs.com/iris_the_preacher , and there's this sentence
in the page that caught my attention:
"...Also, there is the false moon god Allah to contend with as put
forth by Muslims."
FIRST, This individual was in error, as the Arabic word for deity or
god is Ilah. Let's look at the facts from an encyclopedia,


?ilah is the Arabic for "deity". It is cognate to Northwest
Semitic 'el and Akkadian ilu. The word is from a Proto-Semitic archaic
biliteral ?-l meaning "god" (possibly with a wider meaning of
"strong"), which was extended to a regular triliteral by the addition
of a h (as in Hebrew Eloah). The word is spelled either ??? with an
optional diacritic alif to mark the a (as is the case with Allah), or
(more rarely) with a full alif, ???? .
The feminine is ?ilahah ????? "goddess", with the article, al-?ilahah
????? according to Lane's 1893 Lexicon referring to the great serpent
in particular, "because it was a special object of the worship of some
of the ancient Arabs", or the new moon (see also Allat).
In Islamic context, an ilah is the concept of a deity, lord or god and
does not necessarily refer to Allah. The term is used throughout the
Qur'an in passages detailing the existence of Allah as the only Ilah,
and of the beliefs of non-Muslims in other Ilah(s).[source - Wikipedia

FOURTH, You overlook this source which has many links on the subject,
but here I will only quote the introduction,


Hubal and Allah the Moon God?
Islam: Truth or Myth? start page
Introduction to basic facts of history:
Moon worship has been practiced in Arabia since 2000 BC. The crescent
moon is the most common symbol of this pagan moon worship as far back
as 2000 BC.
In Mecca, there was a god named Hubal who was Lord of the Kabah.
This Hubal was a moon god.
One Muslim apologist confessed that the idol of moon god Hubal was
placed upon the roof of the Kaba about 400 years before Muhammad. This
may in fact be the origin of why the crescent moon is on top of every
minaret at the Kaba today and the central symbol of Islam atop of
every mosque throughout the world:
About four hundred years before the birth of Muhammad one Amr bin
Lahyo ... a descendant of Qahtan and king of Hijaz, had put an idol
called Hubal on the roof of the Kaba. This was one of the chief
deities of the Quraish before Islam. (Muhammad The Holy Prophet, Hafiz
Ghulam Sarwar (Pakistan), p 18-19, Muslim)
The moon god was also referred to as "al-ilah". This is not a proper
name of a single specific god, but a generic reference meaning "the
god". Each local pagan Arab tribe would refer to their own local
tribal pagan god as "al-ilah".
"al-ilah" was later shortened to Allah before Muhammad began promoting
his new religion in 610 AD.
There is evidence that Hubal was referred to as "Allah".
When Muhammad came along, he dropped all references to the name
"Hubal" but retained the generic "Allah".
Muhammad retained almost all the pagan rituals of the Arabs at the
Kaba and redefined them in monotheistic terms.
Regardless of the specifics of the facts, it is clear that Islam is
derived from paganism that once worshiped a moon-god.
Although Islam is today a monotheist religion, its roots are in
paganism.[source - Brother Andrew]

SIXTH, Now here is something else you should read to see the proof of
what I stated in my two articles which incidentally were NOT about the
Moon god, a puppet celestial god of Satan the Devil, but about the
only true God (YHWH) maker of heaven and earth, a point you obviously
missed. But since you made the challenge, I am answering it with
abundant evidence of the obvious. Now here is an introduction to
another important article on the subject,

Historical evidences, impartial logic, well versed references and all
available circumstantial judgments can very well prove that-(a) Allah
name of deity was pre-existed much before the arrival of Islam, (
Pre-Islamic Pagan peoples worshipped Allah as their supreme deity
(moon-god). Allah's name existed in pre-Islamic Arab. In ancient Arab
the Allah was considered to be the supreme God/deity (as Moon-God) and
Arab Pagans worshipped Allah before Islam arrived.
Let us examine below some valid questions and answers :
Did the Pagan Arabs in pre-Islamic times worship 360 gods? Yes
Did the pagans Arabs worship the sun, moon and the stars? Yes
Did the Arabs built temples to the Moon-god? Yes
Did different Arab tribes give the Moon-god different names/titles? Yes
What were some of the names/titles? Sin, Hubul, Ilumquh, Al-ilah.

At that time was Hubul considered the Moon-god? Yes.
Was the Kabah thus the "house of the Moon-god"? Yes.
Did the name "Allah" eventually replace that of Hubul as the name of
the Moon god? Yes.
Did they call the Kabah the "house of Allah"? Yes.
Were al-Lat, al-Uzza and Manat called "the daughters of Allah"? Yes.
Yusuf Ali explains in fn. 5096, pg. 1445, that Lat, Uzza and Manat
were known as "the daughters of God [Allah]"
Did the Qur'an at one point tell Muslims to worship al-Lat, al-Uzza
and Manat? Yes. In Surah 53:19-20.
Have those verses been "abrogated" out of the present Qur'an? Yes.
What were they called? "The Satanic Verses."[source - Was Allah The

http://www.abrahamic-faith.com/moon-god.html
Sequel to ANSWERS ON THE MOON GOD ALLAH
Now let's look at more facts on the name of the old middle eastern
celestial Moon god, "Allah,"


Allah is the name of the only God in Islam. Allah is a
pre-Islamic name coming from the compound Arabic word Al-ilah which
means the God, which is derived from al (the) ilah (deity). It was
formerly the name of the chief god among the numerous idols (360) in
the Kaaba in Mecca before Mohammed made them into monotheists. Today a
Muslim is one who submits to the God Allah.
Islam means submission to (Allah), but originally it meant that
strength which characterized a desert warrior who, even when faced
with impossible odds, would fight to the death for his tribe. [source
- Dr. M. Baravmann, The Spiritual Background of Early Islam, E. J.
Brill, Leiden, 1972]
And,


Many believe the word "Allah" was derived from the mid-
eastern word "el" which in Ugaritic, Caananite and Hebrew can mean a
true or false God. This is not the case, "The source of this (Allah)
goes back to pre-Muslim times. Allah is not a common name meaning
"God" (or a "god"), and the Muslim must use another word or form if he
wishes to indicate any other than his own peculiar deity." [source -
Encyclopedia of Religion and Ethics (ed. Hastings), I:326.]
And,


According to the Encyclopedia of Religion, Allah corresponded
to the Babylonian god Baal, and Arabs knew of him long before Mohammed
worshipped him as the supreme God. Before Islam the Arabs recognized
many gods and goddesses, each tribe had their own deity. There were
also nature deities. Allah was the god of the local Quarish tribe,
which was Mohammed's tribe before he invented Islam to lead his people
out of their polytheism. Allah was then known as the Moon God, who had
3 daughters who were viewed as intercessors for the people into Allah.
Their names were Al-at, Al-uzza, and Al-Manat, which were three
goddesses; the first two daughters of Allah had names which were
feminine forms of Allah. Hubal was the chief God of the Kaaba among
the other 360 deities. Hubal was the chief God of the Kaaba among the
other 360 deities. Hubal was a statue likeness of a man whose body was
made of red precious stones whose arms were made of gold. [source
reference - Islam George Braswell Jr.]
And,


"Historians like Vaqqidi have said Allah was actually the
chief of the 360 gods being worshipped in Arabia at the time Mohammed
rose to prominence. Ibn Al-Kalbi gave 27 names of pre-Islamic
deities...Interestingly, not many Muslims want to accept that Allah
was already being worshipped at the Ka'ba in Mecca by Arab pagans
before Mohammed came. Some Muslims become angry when they are
confronted with this fact. But history is not on their side.
Pre-Islamic literature has proved this." [source - G. J. O. Moshay,
Who Is This Allah? (Dorchester House, Bucks, UK, 1994), pg. 138].
And,


History has shown Mecca and the holy stone al-Kaaba were holy
sites for pre-Islamic pagan Arabs. The Kaaba in Mecca was formerly
named Beit-Allah meaning House of Allah. We are told it was first
built in heaven. This is in contradistinction to what Moses was
instructed to build, something overlooked by the Muslims in their
reading of the Bible.
The Koran tells us that Mohammed drove the other idols away; he made
one God now the only god and he was its messenger. He kept the Kaaba
as a holy, sacred place and confirmed that the black stone had the
power to take away man's sins. He obligated every believer to make a
pilgrimage to the stone at least once in his lifetime. (Sura 22:26-37)
No Old Testament saint ever had a pilgrimage to the Kaaba and kissed
its black stone despite stories that Abraham and Ishmael restored it.
[b]Mohammed used the name Allah which was formerly the name of a
specific idol without ever distinguishing it from the idol the
Meccan's were already worshipping. This was a modification of
their former worship but never a complete break. He never did say for
the people to stop their worship of the wrong Allah, for the right
one. It can still be monotheism and not be the God of the Bible
Al-Lat which is a T at the end of the name of Allah, was represented
by a square stone whose major sanctuary was in the city of Taif. In
the sanctuary was a black stone in the town of Qudayd between Mecca
and Medina. She was the goddess of fate, a female counterpart of
Allah. Al-uzza was the goddess of east Mecca. It has been said there
were human sacrifices made to her and Islamic tradition tells of a
story of Mohammed's grandfather almost sacrificing his son the father
of Mohammed to her. What prevented this was his seeking counsel from a
fortune teller which told him to ransom his son with one hundred
camels. Muslims look to this as the will of Allah to bring Mohammed
into existence. (Reference Muhammad husain haykal, Hayat mohammed)
"The name Allah, as the Qur'an itself is witness, was well known in
pre-Islamic Arabia. Indeed, both it and its feminine form, Allat, are
found not infrequently among the theophorous names in inscriptions
from North Africa." [source - Arthur Jeffrey, ed., Islam: Muhammad and
His Religion (1958), p. 85.)]

Part 4, The Mythical Family of The Mythical God Allah:
The Family of Allah:
INTRODUCTION:
As we all know, the family of the true God (YHWH) of Abraham, Issac,
Ishmael, Noah, Moses, etc., the creator of all there is, consist of
himself; his only begotten Son, Jesus (Yeshua), referred to in the
Bible as the Son of God at numerous places. As an example, at
Matthew 14:33, "Then they that were in the ship came and worshipped
him, saying, Of a truth thou art the Son of God." (Authorized King
James Bible; AV). Also, the true God (YHWH) of Abraham, Issac,
Ishmael, Noah, Moses, etc., the creator of all there is, family of
loyal angels in heaven and his family of loyal followers on earth.
Not only does the true God (YHWH) of Abraham, Issac, Ishmael, Noah,
Moses, etc., the creator of all there is, the real God have a family;
the mythical god, "Allah" has a family also.
But there has been little said on the family of Allah. In fact, most
do not know what was known in ancient Arabia, Allah was the male god
and his wife was the female goddess. This is what Professor
Guillaume had to say on this couple, <<<" In Arabia, the sun god was
viewed as a female goddess and the moon as the male god. As has been
pointed out by many scholars such as Alfred Alfred Guilluame, the moon
god was called by various names, one of which was Allah!"[source -
"Islam", by Professor Guillaume, p. 7].
This couple produced three goddesses, and they were the daughters of
Allah and were called, Al-Lat, Al-Uzza, and Manat. This is what the
Encyclopedia of World Mythology and Legend had to say on them in
brief, <<<" The name Allah was used as the personal name of the moon
god, in addition to other titles that could be given to him.
Allah, the moon god, was married to the sun goddess. Together they
produced three goddesses who were called "the daughters of Allah."
These three goddesses were called Al-Lat, Al-Uzza, and Manat.
The daughters of Allah, along with Allah and the sun goddess were
viewed as "high" gods. That is, they were viewed as being at the top
of the pantheon of Arabian deities.
"Along with Allah, however, they worshipped a host of lesser gods and
"daughters of Al-lah" [source - Encyclopedia of World Mythology and
Legend, I:61]>>>.
One writer said this of the family of Allah, <<<" Muslims usually
argue that their 'Allah' is the same deity as the Judeo-Christian God.
For sincere Jews or Christians, that statement ought to be considered
as a profound blasphemy, since it destroys their concept of God. By
accepting such a thesis one is admitting Islam as the true religion,
above Judaism and Christianity. One has not come across any arguments
that can prove that 'Allah' is just another name for the
Judeo-Christian God. The Islamic scholar Caesar Farah states: "There
is no reason, therefore, accept the idea that Allah passed to the
Muslims from the Christians and Jews." (Ceasar Farah, Islam: Beliefs
and Observations (New York, 1987), 28.) And as their characters are
examined, they seem to be of a completely different nature and reveal
contradicting scriptures.
'Allah', in fact, has a genealogy that can be traced through Yemen
to Babylon, the mother of all idolatry. In Babylon, paganism began at
the time of Nimrod, the alleged builder of the Tower of Babel. After
the confusion of languages, Babylonian idolatry spread all over the
world. Nimrod had been dei-fied and was known as Baal, Molech,.... and
finally, as Allah. The Baal worship was conducted by sacrifices,
prostrations and kissing the idol, (See I. Kings 19:18) which was the
same type of service conducted at the Kaaba and other places in
Arabia. There are also traces of a direct Baal worship among the
Arabs: "And God helped him [King Uzziah of Juda] against the
Philistines, and against the Arabians that dwelt in Gur-baal, and the
Mehunims [probably Mineanites from Yemen]." (II Chron. 26:7) It was
common to add Baal's name to the city where he was worshipped and thus
it was obviously so in Gur. Inscriptions with Baal's name have been
found in Central Arabia at some oasis where Arabian inhabitants had
settled. The great scholar William Robertson Smith argues that the
most developed cults of Arabia belong not to the pure nomads, but to
these agricultural and trading settlements, which the Bedouin visited
only as pilgrims, not to pay stated homage to the lord of the land
from which they drew their life, but in fulfilment of vows. (William
Robertson Smith, The Religion of the Semites. The Fundamental
Institutions (London, 1902), 109.)
Concerning the Kaaba, Muslims' holiest place, Ibn Ishaq gives us an
example of such fulfilment of vows, when he reports the story of a
Jurhum woman who "had been barren and vowed to Allah that if she bore
a son she would give him to the Kaaba as a slave to serve it and to
look after it." (quoted in; Guillaume, The Life of Muhammad, 49.) In
Mesopotamia, and consequently in all the known world, the firstfruits
of the crops or cattle were sacrificed to the fertility god. A sacred
plot of land was offered to the deity, where he could abide and accept
their offerings. In Mecca, the earlier fertility god named Baal was
replaced with desert gods, the Aramaic Allah and the Yemenite Hubal.
The ancient world usually worshipped a pantheon of gods, where
higher and lesser gods battled for supremacy. All these pantheons had
many similarities, for example, always including a relationship
between a high male-god and a mothergoddess. Religious beliefs were
often a spiritual form or the exaltation of the society the
worshippers happened to be a part of. In primitive tribal societies,
the family was the integral part which formed the basis of solidarity,
wealth, protection and daily support. Thus, a family of deities was
the normal state of worship.
In Arabian archaeology a large number of inscriptions on rocks,
tablets and walls, have pointed to the worship of a family of four;
one male and his three 'daughters' or goddesses. Those three goddesses
are sometimes engraved together with Allah, represented by a crescent
moon above them. But Allah was the 'Lord of the Kaaba... Lord of
Manat, al-Lat, and al-Uzza...and even as 'Lord of Sirius'.'(Peters,
Muhammad, 98.) His 'daughters' were his associates, helpers and were
themselves worshipped, after the manner of ancient Babylonian customs
and symbolised by astronomical symbols".[Source - Islam and Goddess
Worship; http://notendur.centrum.is/~snorrigb/fem4.htm]>>>.
Now that we know who his family consisted of, let's look at the details:
DETAILS ON THE MOON GOD "ALLAH" :
Muslims believe that God revealed his final message to humanity
through the Islamic prophet Muhammad via the angel Gabriel.[Reference
- "Introduction" by Watton (1993)] They consider Muhammad to have been
God's final prophet, the "Seal of the Prophets", and the Qur'an to be
the revelations he received in his 23 years of preaching.[source -
"Qur'an", Encyclopedia of Christianity (2001)] Muslims hold that all
of God's messengers since Adam preached the message of Islam -
submission to the will of the one God. To Muslims, Islam is the
eternal religion, described in the Qur'an as "the primordial nature
upon which God created mankind".[References - 19. ^ Qur'an Sura 30:30;
and "Islam", Encyclopedia of Religion]. Furthermore, the Qur'an
states that the proper name Muslim was given by Abraham.[Reference -
Qur'an Sura 22:78; and "Tahrif", Encyclopaedia of Islam Online].
As a historical phenomenon, however, Islam was originated in Arabia in
early 7th century.[Reference - "Islam", Encyclopedia of Religion].
Islamic texts depict Judaism and Christianity as prophetic successor
traditions to the teachings of Abraham. The Qur'an calls Jews and
Christians "People of the Book", and distinguishes them from
polytheists. However, Muslims believe that parts of the previously
revealed scriptures, the Tawrat (Torah) and the Injil (Gospels), had
become distorted as indicated in the Qur'an - either in
interpretation, in text, or both.[Reference - "Tahrif", Encyclopaedia
of Islam Online]

SEE Part 3 of GREATEST LIE TOLD BY ISLAM:

MUSLIM APOLOGIST, IFTIKHAR, TRIES TO WRONGLY BLAME BRITISH SCHOOLING FOR THE WICKED MISDEEDS OF MUSLIM YOUTH, BUT MUSLIM FAMILY INDOCTRINATION OF HATE, A LOVE FOR VIOLENCE, AND A DISREGARD OF PERSON AND PROPERTY OF NON-MUSLIMS.
FIRST, He said the following misleading and deceitful HOGwash. 
<<[ These Pakistanis have adopted the British values of grooming young children. They are the product of the British schooling with non-Muslim monolingual teachers. I have been doing Jihad in the field of education for the last 40 years so that each and every Muslim child should be in a state funded Muslim schools with bilingual Muslim teachers as role models during their developmental periods.]>>
But the wicked acts are NOT the product of British schooling, but evil training they receive at home.   How do we know this for sure?   Let’s face it, the only so called religion in the world which teaches many of its members hate, the love for violence, and the disrespect of non-Muslims person and property is Islam.   Who has ever heard of radicalized Catholics, Methodist, Quakers, Anglicans, etc. going and being suicide bombers, bombing subways and buses, flying airplanes into buildings to murder people and destroy buildings, attacking newspapers, etc.?   Nor do other religions form rape gangs in Europe, behead people on London streets and in New Jersey towns and elsewhere!  Yet these non-Muslim youths that are also products of British education do NOT do the evil and wicked acts that Muslims who are also products of these same schools do; CLEARLY SHOWING THEY ARE EDUCATED IN WICKEDNESS ELSEWHERE.  Now where can this wickedness be indoctrinated but in the home and mosque.
 
NO only members of Islam do things like this as part of their standard operating process (SOP) against others!   To see how absurd this religion is, many of its members actually severely criticize others for trivial indiscretions such as binge drinking by a few in-mature college students, which is pure nonsense when compared to their wicked acts.   They even have the audacity to propose preposterous Muslim faith based schools – only for Muslims – funded with public money – to aid in spreading hate, a love for violence, and a disrespect of the person and property of non-Muslims, the results made vividly clear by ISIS.
 
The recent attack and murdering of many at Charlie Hebdo (Brown) in Paris only illustrates the effectiveness of this wicked home and mosque education of some Muslims, and it could NOT be the product of British education as these wicked ones went to French schools, not British.   Clearly, Islam is the enemy of all others, and is responsible for over 95% of the religiously inspired violence in the world as shown by current events throughout the world by Muslims most of which have NEVER been in a British school.  Clearly, the wicked acts committed by many Muslims MUST BE DO TO EVIL AND WICKED home and mosque training, i.e., their wickedness is the product of home and mosque – period.
 
Let’s us face reality, Islam is a false religion based on belief in a false puppet god of Satan the Devil and his evil prophet Muhammad who was a pedophile, highwayman, and a very violent man.  To learn the truth about their false god, go to,

MUSLIM CLERICS ARE LYING HYPOCRITS:
 
Here is the headlines of a BBC article that proves this,
 <<[ Muslim Council vows action to stop children being groomed for sexThe Muslim Council of Britain has said it will take action to prevent girls being "groomed" for sex.]>>[SOURCE - RETRIEVED FROM   http://www.bbc.com/news/uk-22056685?fb_ref=Default  ON 1 /31/2015]
On the surface it seems great, but only Muslims form Muslim rape gangs and they do this based on what they learn at home and in the mosque.   lBut what can you expect from a false religion founded by a pedophile, highwayman, and a very violent man???????????????????? 
REALITY:  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.

OUTCOME OF MUSLIM EDUCATION HAS PROVEN TO BE INTOLERANCE AND VIOLENCE:
 
INTRODUCTION:
 
Many members of Islam keep clamoring for state funded Muslim schools, and state lofty reasons for them such as the following I received in an email fromLondon School of Islamics Trust, as follows:
 
<<” There are hundreds of state primary and secondary schools where Muslim pupils are in majority. In my opinion all such schools may be opted out to become Muslim Academies. This mean the Muslim children will get a decent education. Muslim schools turned out balanced citizens, more tolerant of others and less likely to succumb to criminality or extremism…”>>
 
Reality in every nation where there are many Muslim schools the only outcome is intolerance towards others, violence, and sexual atrocities. Definitely what no nation needs. Just look at Egypt, Iraq, Syria, Pakistan, etc., and you will readily see the outcome is NOT good. As to tolerance, it does not exist and others are persecuted daily. Violence is perennial and daily. 
 
In fact is the U.K. even 5 th. Generation members of Islam have maintained a Prima Donna relationship to society and have failed to integrate; whereas, other religious groups such as the Sikhs, Jains, Hindus, etc. have. Instead their members have bombed buses, subways, murdered U.K. soldiers, and made the areas where they live into dangerous ‘no-go’ areas in London and other major cities.
 
Of course, there are good people among them – those who have NOT been mislead by their religious leaders.
 
So they should NEVER be granted their own state supported schools until they join/integrate into main stream U.K. society. You will see why in my three pieces of evidence when I state in brackets, do we want this in the U.K.?
 
Now let’s look at proofs/evidence to back up what I say with respect the outcome of Muslim education has been in many places – 3 outcome will be presented.
 
OUTCOME 1, PUSHED BY MUSLIM RELIGIOUS LEADERS IN EGYPT:
 
Islam in action against women due to education by their religious leaders.
 
Rape in Egypt: The Muslim Brotherhood 'Gets Even'
by Raymond Ibrahim
Human Events
June 18, 2014
http://www.meforum.org/4731/muslim-brotherhood-rape
 
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.

THE REALITY:
 
If a religion fails to clean house of evil and wicked men when they are discovered, and especially of evil and wicked men/women taking the lead in a congregation, and/or congregations such as Pastors, Ministers, Sheiks, Imams, Bishops, Cardinals, Etc., then the religion is responsible for their wrong doing. Some religions such as Islam have never cleaned house of evil and wicked individuals when they are discovered and that religion has been violent since its beginning, and many of its members lust for violence in such acts as beheading of others, suscide bombers, makers of IEDs, etc. do to the teachings of their groups religious leaders. One notable example of an evil and wicked individual Islam well knows of who is a leader of a large group of members of Islam is Sheik Osama bin Ladin. Of course, Islam, is NOT the only religion that fails to take effective action against evil and wicked individuals and leaders of groups among them, another is the Catholic and Angalican churches that for many years just moved pedophiles to a new congregation when they were uncovered as the world's news media has so well identified. Groups seeking to keep themselves clean of evil and wicked individuals that sneak into their group take the appropriate action; to wit, they throw them out.
 
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.
 
Now let’s look at one such religion that tries to escape their responsibility for cleaning house so to speak.
 
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.’
 
OUTCOME 2, ISLAM IS INTOLERANT OF OTHERS AND DENIES THEM THEIR HUMAN RIGHTS:
 
REALITY, 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
 
http://www.meforum.org/3829/islam-apostasy-christians
 
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.

OUTCOME 3, ISLAM’S TREATMENT OF NON-ISLAMIC WOMEN WORSE THAN NAZI GERMANY:

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.

CONCLLUSION:
 
NEVER have government funded Muslim schools until intolerance and call for violence is written out of the Quran.
 
NEVER be fooled by supporters of Islam’s nice sounding B.S. Satan the Devil fooled the first human pair, but do not let members of Islam fool you.

MUSLIMS ALWAYS TRY TO PUT THE BLAME ON OTHERS FOR THEIR OWN WRONG ACTS:
Members of Islam always accuse others of causing them to do wicked acts, but it is their own evil drive caused by hate, a love for violence, and no regard for the person and property of non-Muslims.
No where is this more evident than in the destruction of the World Trade Center in New York City owned by a Jew, Mr. Silverstein, who had NEVER done any of them any wrong, and the murder of about 3,000 people who had never done them any wrong.   Also, this wicked act clearly shows they were anti-Semitic haters.
Here is proof of their putting the blame on others for their own wicked acts in the posting of a Muslim apologist, Iftikhar:
<<{ It is the West that stirred the trouble that led to 9/11. That attack was a desperate act of by men prepared to lose their life }>>
But for further proof that all their terrorist acts are actually a part of their evil plan to dominate everyone else, here is a detailed account of their wicked plan.
Arab Imperialism Masked as Religion Threatens World Tranquility/Peace:
 
INTRODUCTION:
 
Since its inception Islam claims to be a peaceful religion, but in practice it has been anything but peaceful.   In fact, it was responsible for among other things, bringing on or being the cause of the Crusades, but trying to throw the blame for them on others.   Let's look at the facts, <<<" Throughout history Islam which claims to be a religion of peace has attacked apostate (counterfeit) Christians and has attempted to steal land and people from them, and then cried fowl when they struck back.  How ridicules and hypocritical that is for any group; to wit, to initiate blood guilt and then yell when the other group defends itself and strikes back.
 
For example, Islam yells about the wrongs of the apostate (counterfeit) Christian Crusades that started in 1095 with the First Crusade under the directions of Pope Urban II, and ended with the Ninth Crusade in 1289.   Of course, the apostate (counterfeit) Christians committed many atrocities such as their wrong doing against the Jews in Jerusalem by the Franks, one of the groups making up the Crusader forces.  However, in reality, Islam was responsible for all that occurred as they lit-the-fuse that caused the crusades to take place with their blood guilty war like ways as we shall see in this article with facts that can be checked by all."[source - Religion of Peace That Loves War:, by Iris the Preacher, 2006]>>>.   And, <<<" When members of Islam move to Australia, Canada, England, France, Spain, US, Denmark, etc. they want religious freedom, they demand it, but do they want to grant the same basic human right of conscience to others?  NO, they definitely do not.   This denial is shown to be the case from ancient times.  In fact, this denial was actually the 'trigger' for the Crusades that Islam so blames the so called Christians for, but fail to state that they brought the Crusades on themselves by their actions.  How so?  Let's look at the facts from history." [source - Islam Is Against Freedom of Conscience Yet Wants It For Themselves: by Iris the Preacher, 2006]>>>.   And an encyclopedia says, <<<" <<" A turning point in western attitudes towards the east came in the year 1009, when the Fatimid caliph of Cairo, al-Hakim bi-Amr Allah, had the Church of the Holy Sepulchre in Jerusalem destroyed. His successor permitted the Byzantine Empire to rebuild it under stringent circumstances, and pilgrimage was again permitted, but many stories began to be circulated in the West about the cruelty of Muslims toward Christian pilgrims; these stories then played an important role in the development of the crusades later in the century."[source - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia]>>>.
 
Today, many in Islam decry the temporary occupation of Iraq by a coalition that wants nothing better than to leave, but does not see how it can until members of Islam stop killing each other because they belong to different flavors of Islam - until the country is stabilized.   Yet, these same members of Islam, many of which have been occupying other's lands for centuries see no wrong in so doing - what a corrupt double standard.   For example, they wrongly occupy much of Palestine, but the entire Palestine was given not to the descendants of Abraham's son, Ishmael, from whom the Arabs descended, but to the descendants of Abraham's son, Isaac, by none other than the true God (YHWH) of Abraham, Isaac, Ishmael, and Jacob, creator of all there is, himself, as clearly recorded in Numbers 34:1-28, "And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,  2  Command the children of Israel, and say unto them, When ye come into the land of Canaan; (this is the land that shall fall unto you for an inheritance, even the land of Canaan with the coasts thereof  3  Then your south quarter shall be from the wilderness of Zin along by the coast of Edom, and your south border shall be the outmost coast of the salt sea eastward:  4  And your border shall turn from the south to the ascent of Akrabbim, and pass on to Zin: and the going forth thereof shall be from the south to Kadeshbarnea, and shall go on to Hazaraddar, and pass on to Azmon:  5  And the border shall fetch a compass from Azmon unto the river of Egypt, and the goings out of it shall be at the sea.  6  And as for the western border, ye shall even have the great sea for a border: this shall be your west border.  7  And this shall be your north border: from the great sea ye shall point out for you mount Hor:  8  From mount Hor ye shall point out your border unto the entrance of Hamath; and the goings forth of the border shall be to Zedad:  9  And the border shall go on to Ziphron, and the goings out of it shall be at Hazarenan: this shall be your north border.  10  And ye shall point out your east border from Hazarenan to Shepham:  11  And the coast shall go down from Shepham to Riblah, on the east side of Ain; and the border shall descend, and shall reach unto the side of the sea of Chinnereth eastward:  12  And the border shall go down to Jordan, and the goings out of it shall be at the salt sea: this shall be your land with the coasts thereof round about.  13  And Moses commanded the children of Israel, saying, This is the land which ye shall inherit by lot, which the LORD commanded to give unto the nine tribes, and to the half tribe:  14  For the tribe of the children of Reuben according to the house of their fathers, and the tribe of the children of Gad according to the house of their fathers, have received their inheritance; and half the tribe of Manasseh have received their inheritance:  15  The two tribes and the half tribe have received their inheritance on this side Jordan near Jericho eastward, toward the sunrising.  16 ¶  And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,  17  These are the names of the men which shall divide the land unto you: Eleazar the priest, and Joshua the son of Nun.  18  And ye shall take one prince of every tribe, to divide the land by inheritance.  19  And the names of the men are these: Of the tribe of Judah, Caleb the son of Jephunneh.  20  And of the tribe of the children of Simeon, Shemuel the son of Ammihud.
21  Of the tribe of Benjamin, Elidad the son of Chislon.  22  And the prince of the tribe of the children of Dan, Bukki the son of Jogli.  23  The prince of the children of Joseph, for the tribe of the children of Manasseh, Hanniel the son of Ephod.  24  And the prince of the tribe of the children of Ephraim, Kemuel the son of Shiphtan.  25  And the prince of the tribe of the children of Zebulun, Elizaphan the son of Parnach.  26  And the prince of the tribe of the children of Issachar, Paltiel the son of Azzan.  27  And the prince of the tribe of the children of Asher, Ahihud the son of Shelomi.  28  And the prince of the tribe of the children of Naphtali, Pedahel the son of Ammihud.
29 These are they whom the LORD commanded to divide the inheritance unto the children of Israel in the land of Canaan." (Authorized King James Bible; AV).
 
This shows extreme greed and a lust for violence on the part of many of the descendants of Abraham's son Ishmael as they already control over 98% of the middle east, but do not even want the descendants of Abraham's son Isaac to have the less than 2% that was given to them.
 
Now we shall deal with how Islam was violent from the beginning and really represented Arab imperialism with a religious façade.
 
EARLY ARAB IMPERIALISM AND LUST FOR VIOLENCE:
 
First an overview of Arab Imperialism:
 
As one writer put it, <<<" Muslims from all over the world are feared as terrorists in the Western world. Is it a propaganda or misunderstanding? It is neither. Frankly stated, it is the truth.
Islam has divided humankind into two perpetually hostile groups, i.e. the Muslims and the non-Muslims. The former have the duty to hate their own fathers, mothers, brothers, sisters and countrymen if they practise a different faith. The Muslims must force the infidels to embrace Islam, using any means including murder, rape, loot, arson, deception and treason.
Until a country has embraced Islam, it is legally considered a battlefield (Dar-ul-Harb) and the Muslims are obliged to betray their own motherland through civil and military action. Once it is converted to the Muslim ideology, it ranks as a Land of Peacxe (Dar-us-Salaam) but at a very high cost to one's national pride because then it exists as a spiritual and cultural satellite of Arabia. This is what makes Islam the subtle tool of Arab Imperialism.
Islamic ideology, which is based on intense hatred of the non-Muslims, is beginning to loom as Islamophobia in the West. The recent Osostlander Report on fundamentalism by the European Parliament has recognised this peril. Though it has been suppressed by the majority vote for the time being, its spectre shall rise again and again until the Muslims start respecting the human rights of free speech and action."[source - ISLAM: The Arab Imperialism, by Anwar Shaikh]>>>.
 
And another historian said, <<<" In the year 620 AD, the prophet sent Khaled-ebn-valid to the Bani Hares tribe to make them become moselms, and emphasized that should they refuse to become moslems, he should make war with them. Khaled (who was famous for his massacres of the tribes of Arabia) reminded the leaders of the Bani Hares tribe to "convert to islam in order to remain alive". The leaders of Bani Hares, fearing the lives of their people, converted to islam, and went with Khaled to see mohammad. Mohammad emphasized to the representatives of the Bani Hares tribe that "if khaled had not written that you have converted to islam, I would have rolled your heads beneath your feet"
 
source: History of Tabbari [arab historian]
volume 4, pages 1256-1258
 
The slogans [I dont know the meaning of the first phrase] and "there is no obligation in religion" did not stop the prophet mohammad to summarily behead followers of other religions ("people of the book" [ie, jews]) for not converting to islam, such that in the case of the Bani Quraizeh tribe, after they surrendred following a war [with mohammad's army], it was ordered [by mohammad] that 900 of their men and youth be beheaded, and their property was taken as war booty, their women and children as slaves, and devided among the moslems. (1) Tabbari [arab historian] reminds us that "the prophet ordered that holes [mass graves] be dug in the ground, and "imam" ali and zobeir cut off their heads in mohammad's presense." [see picture below] (2)
In such wars, the moslem arabs did not even refrain from sleaping with [having sex] the married wives of the captured men, but ofcourse this was also permitted in the qoran.(3)

And in a book review by Daniel Pipes of  "The Arab Imperialism" By Anwar Shaikh,  Sheikh noted that according to the Qur'an", <<<" Building on an earlier study with a similar title, Shaikh portrays Islam as a political movement which has conquered peoples around the world. Born a Muslim in India in 1928 and so fervent in his early faith that he killed three non-Muslim men in the riots of 1947, Shaikh has renounced Islam and become a leading spokesman against it. Shaikh sees Islam as a form of Arab imperialism, one he finds far more enduring than the British variant: if the latter required armies to be maintained, the former does not. Instead, it has become self-perpetuating by virtue of having conquered peoples' minds.
 
Like many anti-Islamic polemicists, Shaikh dwells on the career of the Prophet Muhammad, searching it out for inconsistencies (his attitude toward freedom of religion before and after reaching power) and unsavoriness (the Islamic portrayal of paradise shows that, in Islam, "sexual gratification is the ultimate goal of life"). Shaikh goes beyond other critiques in finding that the Qur'an portrays Muhammad to be God's superior and even "the only God"; from this he concludes that "Islam is Muhammadanism." The purpose of this religion, he finds, is "invented Islam to glorify Arabia." And the scheme worked, bringing "imperial dignity to the Arabs," subordinating huge numbers of non-Arab converts and their offspring to "Arab cultural hegemony," and making them permanent allies for the Arab cause. In his pungent words, every non-Arab Muslim has "turned into a moth, restless to cremate itself on the flame of Arab imperialism."
 
Shaikh has lived in Great Britain since 1956; he sees his writings, which have prompted some twenty edicts against his life, as his way to atone for the three murders a half century ago. Unlike Salman Rushdie, he lives openly ("Everyone is aware of my address") and, when asked if he expects to die violently, replies, "I want to die honourably."[source - Daniel Pipes & Middle East Quarterly June 1999; and references, Islam ­ The Arab Imperialism By Anwar Shaikh] >>>.   And in another book review of the same boo, Ibn al Rawandi, says, <<<" Shaikh attacks head on the muslim claim that Islam is a universal religion addressed by God to the whole of mankind, constituting the final revelation delivered by the final prophet. Far from this being the case, Shaikh sees Islam as the product of the genius of Muhammad, who masterfully exploited the ancient Middle Eastern notion of prophethood in pursuit of his own and his people's "dominance urge", which sounds very like Nietzsche's Will to Power.
Shaikh begins by pointing out the inherent absurdities in the concept of prophethood. How it in effect puts belief in prophets above belief in God, since the prophet is supposedly God's messenger and mouthpiece, implying that He is incapable of communicating with humans in any other way. The muslim idea that Muhammad is the final prophet, confirming and fulfilling all previous prophets, is seen as Muhammad's masterstroke, putting the kibosh on any change or innovation.
 
On the basis of the text of the Quran, underwritten by the traditional biography of the Prophet, Shaikh discerns a progress in Muhammad's expression of his prophetic role. In the beginning, when he was politically weak, he claimed to be a mortal and humble servant of Allah, but when he became strong, after his supposed move from Mecca to Medina: "he began changing his tone, until he was able to claim himself to be Allah's Superior". (75) The proof of this is Q.33:56 "Lo! Allah and his angels shower praises on the Prophet (Muhammad). O ye who believe also shower praises on him and salute him with a worthy salutation". Shaikh claims that the word translated "shower praises on him", really means worship and is usually applied to God.
 
According to Shaikh the arrogance of Muhammad is fully expressed in the arrogance of the religion he invented toward all non­Arabs, especially the Jews. The notorious episode of the Jewish tribe of the Banu Quraiza, in which Muhammad is supposed to have overseen the slaughter of 800 Jewish men, is seen by Shaikh as: "a pathetic model of ethnic cleansing. The Jews suffered this fate when they refused to become Arabs. We cannot find an example of such extreme nationalism so early in history. Yet the muslims believe that Islam does not recognize nationalism. They insist that it is a message of international brotherhood". (103­4) As regards history this is not quite true of course. It was routine in the ancient world that when a city was conquered the men were killed and the women and children sold into slavery. However that may be, Shaikh is undoubtedly right to emphasize the essentially Arab nature of Islam, and how that ethnic identity was imposed on those they conquered."

The MEMRI - The Middle East Media Research Institute, Special Dispatch Series - No. 1569 said,  in quoting France's Berber Leader Belkacem Lounes, said, <<<"'There Is No Worse Colonialism Than That of the Pan-Arabist Clan that Wants to Dominate Our People' [Belkacem Lounes, president of the World Amazigh Congress, wrote an open letter to Libyan leader Mu'ammar Qaddafi in response to the latter's March 1 speech in which he denied the existence of a Berber or Amazigh  people in North Africa. In his letter, dated April 10, Lounes protested Qaddafi's statements, saying that the 30 million Amazigh living today in North Africa cannot be ignored. He added that the Amazigh had played a central role in the fight against European colonialism, but that since independence they had been oppressed by the "internal colonialism" of pan-Arabism, which he labels an imperialist ideology. Lounes stated that it was archaic to consider diversity a danger, and calls on the North African governments to commit to democracy and human rights.]
"What Worse Offense to Elementary Rights is There Than Denying The Existence Of a People?"
"... I waited until April to respond to your speech, since it is during this month that the Amazigh people celebrates every year... a great moment in its history, known as the 'Tafsut Imazighen' ('Amazigh Spring').   For us, this is a celebration of our memory, of our spirit of resistance to all forms of imperialism, and of our love of liberty...
"The people of whom you spoke [in your speech] are women, men, and children who speak their Amazigh language daily. They are women, men, and children who live every day their Amazigh identity, which your words injured. What worse offense to elementary rights is there than denying the existence of a people?..."
"It is Difficult to Imagine That You Are Unaware of... 30 Million Amazigh Speakers" In North Africa
"You claim that Amazigh civilization disappeared due to 'a century of drought in North Africa'... It is difficult to imagine that you are unaware of the existence of 30 million Amazigh-speakers living today in all of the countries of Tamazgha [i.e. North Africa]...
"You let it be understood that the Amazigh are supposedly an invention of colonialism! What colonialism is capable of creating a people ex nihilo, with its language and traditions that go back several thousand years? How could colonialism have done this - given that when the first foreigner arrived on North African soil, he found that the Amazigh had already been there for a long time?...
"How to explain these contradictions and the brutal return to this desire to negate a tangible history and reality? You even denied the evidence, when you assured us that the Amazigh problem did not exist in Libya. But... the Libyan Amazigh, like Amazigh elsewhere, face ostracism, exclusion, and discrimination of all kinds..."
"Thinking That Diversity Is a Danger is an Archaic and Totalitarian Idea"
"You say that 'Libya is for the Libyans' and that you will not accept anyone's saying that they have this identity or that identity.
"So be it - but then [you] must immediately suppress any reference to Arab identity in all of the country's legislative texts, as well as in the names of political, economic, and cultural institutions, starting with the Arab Libyan Republic, Libyan Arab Airlines, the Union of the Arab Maghreb, etc. Then we will be entirely [favorably] disposed to speak of a 'Libyan Libya,' with its history, languages, and cultures. But if your conception of Libya is one of an exclusively Arab country, then for us, the fight for our identity continues...
"You menace the Amazigh, warning that whosoever asserts their identity will be considered a traitor in the service of colonialism... Thinking that diversity is a danger is an archaic and totalitarian idea that is contrary to all of the principles of universal rights.
"We Are a People... Determined To Live Free"
"In addition, I see it as my obligation to repeat here what I told you [face to face]: We are a people and we are determined to live free, whatever it costs us. We are generally peaceful and hospitable. Whoever offers us his hand, we take him into our arms. But whoever tries to keep us from living in dignity, we will fight him with all legitimate means." [source - The MEMRI - The Middle East Media Research Institute, Special Dispatch Series - No. 1569]>>>.
Imperialistic from the beginning:
The start of imperialism was with the plundering of a camel caravan as described, <<<" A general mistake that leads to a fallacious view of facts is the presumption that Badr was the first battle fought against the infidels. As a matter of fact several engagements had actually preceded it. 'Urwa Ibn Zubair wrote a letter to 'Abd al-Malik, the opening sentence of which was : "'Abu Sufyan Ibn Harb was coming from Syria with seventy riders all of whom were Quraish." This was reported to the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) and his Copmpanions. Hostitlities had laready broken out between the two partiies, and a few persons from the other party including Ibn Hadrami had been slain and some taken prisoners ..... And this had been the event that had led to war between the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) and the Quraish. This had also been the first occasion when losses were mutually inflicted ; and this encounter had taken place before Abu Sufyan departed for Syria."
The best way to arrive at the truth is to see what the other side had to say. Such evidence is rarely found, but fortunately, it is available in this case. Hakim Ibn Hizam (a nephew of Khadija the wife of the propeht), who was still an unbeliever had come with the Quraish army. He was five years older than the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) and had been friendly to him in the pre-ministry days and continued to be so even when the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) had entered upon his mission. However he did not embrace Islam till the conquest of Mecca. Ibn Hakim was a Quraish dignitary, held the office of Rifada, and owned and manged Dar al-Nadwa. He lived till the days of the caliph Marwan Ibn Hakam. Once he went to see Marwan, who received him with great honour. Marwan left his royal seat, sat by his side and asked him to relate the events of Badr. Having described te preliminary datails, he said, " When the Quraish had encamped, I went to 'Utba, and said to him, 'O' father of Walid, won't you like to win a life-long fame ?' 'How is it possible ?' asked 'Utba, and I answered, 'You see, the Quraish demand from Muhammad nothing more than blood for the blood of Hadrami, and he was your ally. Why don't you pay his blood-money yourself and let all your people march back home-ward. 'Utba like this proposal, but Abu Jahl did not consent to it. Abu Jahl called 'Amir Hadrami, the brother of the deceased Hadrami, and said that he should stand out and invoke the aid of the nation, for he had his chance of vengenace close at hand. According to Arab custom, 'Amir Hadrami cast off his clothes and cried, 'Oh 'Amr Hadrami, 'Amr Hadrami, Oh 'Amir Hadrami !"
The first man who came into the battle-field was this Amir Hadrami.
Hakim Ibn Hizam and 'Amir Hadrami wee both non-believers, when Badr was fought. 'Utba and Abu Jahl, the leading chiefs died infidels. When persons of consequence, such as these, regarded the battle of Badr as a revenge for Hadrami's blood, we need not care if others, born hundreds of years after the battle, believed that it had been the outcome of an intended plunder of the caravan." [source - This is a quote from an extract of the Second Volume of English Translation of Sirat-un-Nabi originally written in Urdu by the late 'Allama Shibli Nu'mani, a well-known Muslim historian who requires no commendation.]>>>.
Next, Islam stole Syria from its owner, the Roman Empire of the East/Byzantine Empire, and here is a partial account of this wrongful action, <<<" In the face of the Muslim expansion, the Byzantine emperor Heraclius gathered a large army which met the Muslim army at the Battle of the Yarmuk in Syria on 20 August 636. It was a crushing victory which gave Syria to the Muslims...  A description of the battle. Heraclius gathered large bodies of Greeks, Syrians, Mesopotamians and Armenians numbering about 200,000. This army he put under the command of one of his choice men and sent as a vanguard Jabalah ibn-al-Aiham al-Ghassani at the bead of the "naturalized" Arabs [musta'ribah] of Syria of the tribes of Lakhm, Judham and others, resolving to fight the Moslems so that be might either win or withdraw to the land of the Greeks and live in Constantinople. The Muslims gathered together and the Greek army marched against them. The battle they fought at al-Yarmuk ,was of the fiercest and bloodiest kind. Al-Yarmuk [Hieromax] is a river. In this battle 24,000 Moslems took part. The Greeks and their followers in this battle tied themselves to each other by chains, so that no one might set his hope on flight. By Allah's help, some 70,000 of them were put to death, and their remnants took to flight, reaching as far as Palestine, Antioch, Aleppo, Mesopotamia and Armenia. In the battle of al-Yarmuk certain Moslem women took part and fought violently. Among them was Hind, daughter of 'Utbah and mother of Mu'awivah ibn-abi-Sufyan, who repeatedly exclaimed, "Cut the arms of these 'uncircumcised' , with your swords!" Her husband abu-Sufvan had come to Syria as a volunteer desiring to see his sons, and so he brought his wife with him. He then returned to al-Madinah where he died, year 31, at the age of 88. Others say he died in Syria. When the news of his death was carried to his daughter, umm-Habibah, she waited until the third day on which she ordered some yellow paint and covered with it her arms and face saving, "I would not have done that, had I not heard the Prophet say, 'A woman should not be in mourning for more than three days over anyone except her husband."' It is stated that she did likewise when she received the news of her brother Yazid's death. But Allah knows best." [source - Medieval Sourcebook: Al-Baladhuri: The Battle Of The Yarmuk (636) and After by Paul Halsall Jan 1996]>>>.    As we can see, right from the beginning, Islam was greedy for the lands of others and sought to occupy them.
In fact, <<<" Futuh is an Arabic word with the literal meaning of "openings". When appearing in classical Islamic literature it signifies the early Arab-Muslim conquests which facilitated the spread of Islam and Islamic civilization.
As is clear from the literal meaning of the word, futuh is a term with a strong ideological bias in favor of the conquests it signifies, implying their general beneficence and legitimacy. Here is Lewis on the ideology of futuh within classic Islamic thought:
These were not seen as conquests in the vulgar sense of territorial acquisitions, but as the overthrow of impious regimes and illegitimate hierarchies, and the "opening" of their peoples to the new revelation and dispensation... The use of the root fth is thus not unlike the twentieth century use of the verb "liberate", and is indeed sometimes replaced by the latter verb (harrara) in modern Arabic writing on early Islamic history. The Arabic verb ghalaba, "conquer", with its connotation of overwhelming by means of superior force, is sometimes used in early accounts of the Muslim conquests, but only in the context of actual military operations...
Underlying this usage, clearly, is a concept of the essential rightfulness or legitimacy of the Muslim advance and the subsequent illegitimacy of Muslim retreat before infidel conquest... The advance of Muslim power is thus an opening or a liberation, to give free scope to this divinely implanted propensity.
The Political Language of Islam, pp. 93-94
Many histories from the classical period of Islamic civilization dealing with the early conquests have futuh in their title and are considered to form their own genre of literature, called futuh reports. Like many other histories from the early period, the futuh reports contain a mixture of genres and material, with some clearly of an administrative, religio-legal, philosophical, or edificatory nature. For example, a common feature of the genre is an account of the opposing ambassador's first impression of the Arab army in which he remarks favorably upon the primitive virtues of these early Muslim warriors, thus implicitly criticizing the luxury and over-refinement of the author's own time.
The following is a partial list of these histories:
* Futuh Misr (Conquests of Egypt) by Ibn 'Abd al-Hakam
* Futuh al-Sham (Conquests of Syria) by al-Azdi
* Futuh al-Iraq (Conquests of Iraq) by al-Waqidi
* Futuh al-Habasa (Conquests of Abyssinia) by Sihab ad-Din Admad ibn Abd-al-Qadir
* Futuh al-Buldan (Conquests of the Lands) by Abu Al-Abbas Ahmad Bin Jab Al-Baladhuri
The impact of the futuh conquests was immense, not least of all on the conquerors themselves, who incorporated many features of the advanced cultures they absorbed into what eventually became classic Islamic civilization.
Among the conquered peoples, the futuh invasions resulted in two related, though not identical, social upheavals: Islamization and Arabization. The former occurred as Islam became a society's regnant religio-political framework. The latter occurred as Arab customs and the Arab language became widely adopted by a population. Though the two developments often occurred in tandem, the expression of one did not necessarily mean the expression of the other. Many Middle Eastern Christians, for example were Arabized but never Islamicized, while the Persians were Islamicized but did not Arabize.
Of the two upheavals, Islamization had the greater impact on social and cultural identity. In all cases Islamization led to a people's near total rejection of their pagan, pre-Islamic past, such that their ancestral achievements and heritage were either forgotten or actively denigrated. When in the 19th Century European Orientalists began recovering this past, their findings were at first ignored by the Muslim residents of the Near East:
The discovery... of the ancient past was a non-Middle Eastern enterprise and achievement, and for a long time it had no impact on the peoples of the Islamic Middle East, who remained uninterested in their own pagan past. For them, significant history began with the advent of Islam. That was their own, their true history, the history that mattered. What came before was an age of ignorance, of no value with no lesson to teach.
The Multiple Identities of the Middle East, p. 68
Though this alienation may be partially explained by the Arab cultural imperialism implicit in Islamization (as exemplified in the adoption of the Arabic script, for example), there is a more direct theological rationale for this, which is the Islamic concept of jahiliyyah, or state of ignorance and barbarity which supposedly prevailed in pre-Islamic Arabia. Readily applied by the first Islamicized peoples to their own pagan pasts, it led them to view these epochs as times of rampant impiety, ignorance, and injustice from which little of value could be gleaned.
Thus one trope of converted Muslims' perception of their own history is the depiction of the pre-Islamic political order as one of rampant exploitation and tyranny, with rulers ordering society according to malign whim rather than in humble subordinance to God's beneficent law for mankind:
Until the findings of Egyptology became known to them, all that most Egyptians knew about Pharaoh was what they learned from the Qur'an, and the image of Pharaoh in the Qur'an is much the same as in the Old Testament. For Muslims as for Christians and Jews, Pharaoh was the archetypal pagan tyrant and oppressor in which the heroes are the Banuh Isra'il, the children of Israel.
The Multiple Identities of the Middle East, p. 77
And in Islamic Persia, "Chosroes" became as strong a by-word for tyrannical pagan kingship as "Pharaoh" (though ironically the pagan destroyer of the Achaemenid Empire, Alexander the Great, was lionized thanks to an accident of Qur'anic textual sources).
Such hostile depictions of the pre-Islamic political order are a necessary complement to the ideology of futuh: in order for the Muslim conquests to be seen as liberatory, the social orders which they replaced had to be depicted as negatively as possible.
With the rejection of the pre-Islamic political order came the rejection of its cultural legacy as well, often expressed by the iconoclastic destruction of its monumental remains as in the recent demolition of the Buddhas of Bamyan. In Egypt, for example, the missing nose of the Great Sphinx of Giza was broken off by a fanatic Sufi when he saw the local farmers making offerings to the Sphinx. And in Iran:
...the ancient past had been forgotten and to a greater extent obliterated. In Persepolis, the ancient Persian capital, the Muslim conquerors had hacked away the faces of the Medes and Persians depicted in the friezes, seeing in them an expression of pagan idolatry. Only the most recent pre-Islamic history... was known at all, and that in a sketchy form, and from Arabic sources. The more ancient history of Iran was forgotten, and even the name of Cyrus, the founder of the Persian state, was unknown.
The Multiple Identities of the Middle East, p. 71
The popular dissemination of Orientalist discoveries lead to a revision of these attitudes, however, and at least a partial reassertion of pre-Islamic identities. In Egypt, the works of native scholars such as Rifa'a Rafi' al-Tahtawi led to renewed interest in the Pharaonic past and helped give rise to Egyptian national identity movements such as Pharaonism. Though initially derided by other Arabs as tafar'un (meaning lapsing into pharaonism), the Egyptian movements were in time emulated elsewhere:
This movement in Egypt was first opposed, condemned, even derided in other Arabic speaking countries. It was seen as something artificial, as a parochial attempt to create a little Egypt within the greater Arab or Islamic brotherhood. It was denounced by pan-Arabists as separatist, by religious people as neo-pagan, and by both as divisive. Nevertheless the example of Egypt had an impact in other Middle Eastern lands.
The Multiple Identities of the Middle East, pp. 69-70
The acceptance of classical Islam's interpretation of the futuh conquests by the Islamicized/Arabized peoples of the Near East and beyond varies.
It has been least contentious among the Arab countries of Asia, where identity with the original Arab conquerors is strongest. In modern Arab historiography there has been a trend (in part due to the influence of Western-style nationalism), to portray the earliest conquests as liberations of Arabs (or proto-Arabs) from Sassanid/Byzantine imperial domination:
Most Arabs today are Arabized descendants of the inhabitants of pre-conquest Syria, Iraq, and Egypt, but any suggestion that Islamic culture is an Arabized development of what prevailed in those pre-conquest lands deeply offends them.
Lapidus, The Cambridge Illustrated History of the Islamic World (ISBN 0-521-66993-6), p. 24
In North Africa, a reassertion of ethnic and linguistic identity among Berbers called Berberism has recently developed.
Despite a rich pre-Islamic political and cultural heritage, attempts at a reassertion of national identity in Iran have often met with strong resistance:
In 1971, when the Shah of Iran held a great celebration in Persepolis to commemorate the 2,500th anniversary of the foundation of the Persian monarchy by Cyrus the Great, he was vehemently attacked on Islamic religious grounds. Exalting the monarchy was bad enough, but far worse was the proclamation of a common identity with the Zoroastrian past, and a consequent redefinition of the basis of allegiance. For the shah's religious critics, the identity of the Iranians was defined by Islam, and their brothers were Muslims in other countries, not their own unbelieving and misguided ancestors.
The Multiple Identities of the Middle East, p. 75
With the overthrow of the Pahlavi dynasty in 1979, traditional notions of identity returned to Iran, as can be seen by the unabashed embrace of the classic futuh interpretation of Persian history in the propaganda of the Iran-Iraq War:
The Iraqis, on their side, call the Iranians Furs, a somewhat derogatory term in medieval times, with a suggestion that the Persians were the heirs of the Zoroastrians defeated at the battle of Qadisiyya in A.D. 637. This battle, which shattered the military power of the Iranian emperors and led to the incorporation of all their lands and peoples in the Muslim Arab Empire, is claimed with pride by both sides. For the Iraqis, it was a victory of Arabs over Persians... For the soldiers of the Islamic Republic, it was victory of Muslims over heathens, and a blessed beginning of the Islamization of the peoples of Iran.
The Political Language of Islam, p. 121
Acceptance in Pakistan of futuh "salvation history" can be seen in current expressions of alienation from both the political as well as cultural legacies of its pre-Islamic past:
In September 1979, on Defense of Pakistan Day, there was a long article in the Pakistan Times on Bin Qasim as a strategist. The assessment was military, neutral, fair to the soldiers of both sides. It drew a rebuke from the chairman of the National Commission on Historical and Cultural Research.
"Employment of appropriate phraseology is necessary when one is projecting the image of a hero. Expressions such as 'invader' and 'defenders' and 'the Indian Army' fighting bravely but not being quick enough to 'fall upon the withdrawing enemy' loom large in the article. 'Had Raja Dahar defended the Indus heroically and stopped Qasim from crossing it, the history of the subcontinent might have been quite different.' One fails to understand whether the writer is applauding the victory of the hero or lamenting the defeat of his rival?"
Among the Believers, p. 141
 
The excavated city of Mohenjo-Daro... is one of the archaeological glories of Pakistan and the world. The excavations are now being damaged by waterlogging and salinity, and appeals for money have been made to world organizations. A feature letter in the Dawn offered its own ideas for the site. Verses from the Koran, the writer said, should be engraved and set up in Mohenjo-Daro in "appropriate places": "Say (unto them, O Mohammed): Travel in the land and see the nature of the sequel for the guilty ... Say (O Mohammed, to the disbelievers): Travel in the land and see the nature of the consequence for those who were before you. Most of them were idolators."
Among the Believers, pp. 141-142
An interesting cultural adaptation found mainly here, though, is the widespread claim of descent from the Arab (or Moghul) conquerors:
"Islam doesn't show on my face. We have nearly all, subcontinental Muslims, invented Arab ancestors for ourselves. Most of us are sayeds, descendants of Mohammed through his daughter Fatima and cousin and son-in-law Ali... Everybody has got an ancestor who came from Arabia or Central Asia."
Beyond Belief, p. 307
 
The last Nawab of Bahawalpur was fanatical about the ancestry he claimed. In Bahawalpur and Pakistan and the subcontinent he was an Arab of the Abassids and a conqueror, a man drawing his wealth from the country, but not part of it. He wore the fez to make the point.
Beyond Belief, p. 331 " [source - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia as of 5/12/2007]>>>.
 
As can be seen, Islamic Imperialism worked as follows, wrongfully capture a people and subgate them, then brain wash them, just like a cancer conquers the human body.   Also, they continue to occupy and do not want to give back what rightly belongs to others, but seek to keep the occupied brain washed.
 
In fact, they tried this wicked approach on Spain, but the subjeducated people fought back and eventually recovered their land and nation.   Let's look into this briefly, <<<"Many like to place the blame on others for what results from their own willful acts.  With Islam this has been the case from at least 711 AD forward.  In 711 AD they attacked Spain and through the years overran most of the country, but when they got kicked out finally about seven hundred years after they started their illegal occupation they screamed about all the wonderful things they did for those they subjected; what utter nonsense." [source - The Sponsors of Unprovoked Attacks and Criminal Acts Responsible For All That Occurs: by Iris the Preacher, 2006]>>>.
 
So as we can see, Islam from its very beginnings was out to greedily take that which belonged to others, to subjugate the enslaved, and to brain wash them.  This evil actions succeeded in most cases except for Spain, and the occupation of the subjugated nations continues until the present.
 
PRESENT DAY ARAB IMPERIALISM AND LUST FOR VIOLENCE:
 
As stated in the last topic, occupation of the subjugated nations continues until the present as the aim of Islamic Imperialism.  Take what is now occurring in Thailand as an example, <<<" The premier blamed the assault on the Mujahideen Islam Pattani, one of several Muslim separatist groups accused of killing about 50 police officers over the previous three years. The banned Pattani United Liberation Organization (PULO) had boasted in May 2003 that Thai security forces were "falling like leaves" as Muslims fought to free the south from Bangkok's rule... In years past, the Muslim separatist groups in southern Thailand and the Communist Party of Thailand dabbled in drug trafficking to raise funds to support their political and operational objectives. As of 2000 there was little if any data linking indigenous terrorists to drug trafficking in Southeast Asia. The Communist Party had not been a viable organization in Thailand for years, and the Muslim separatist movement had fractured into a number of organizations known more for their banditry than their political activities. Drug trafficking did not, therefore, contribute to any significant terrorism on the part of these organizations. In fact, there were no credible reports of any terrorist groups either being based in or conducting terrorist activity within the Kingdom of Thailand. ... During 2000 authorities responded with military force and legal action to separatist activity in the south. In February, security forces dealt a severe blow to the New Pattani United Liberation Organization -- a Muslim separatist group -- when they killed its leader Saarli Taloh-Meyaw. Authorities claim that he was responsible for 90 percent of the terrorist activities in Narathiwat, a southern Thai province. In April, police arrested the deputy leader of the outlawed Barisan Revolusi Nasional (BRN) -- a Southern separatist group -- in Pattani. The case was still pending before the court at year's end. Authorities suspected Muslim separatists conducted several small-scale attacks on public schools, a government-run clinic, and a police station in the south. ... Southern Thailand's terrorist incidents in 2002raised questions about potential Al Qaeda Network involvement. These attacks were the handiwork of a small number of highly organized, experienced insurgents from 4-8 Muslim groups, each numbering no more than 30 people, that have embarked on a concerted and well-planned campaign of ambushes, murders, weapons thefts and criminal extortion since the Thaksin government transferred security responsibilities from the Army to the police last summer. Although some of their activities may have been inspired by the Thai Government's assistance to the US war on terror, Southern Thailand's stability has always been a direct reflection of Bangkok's degree of control. These groups had not increased their capability to conduct a sustained terrorist campaign and the current threat from Thai Muslim separatist terrorist groups in the region still remains limited despite the recently increased violence attributed to them...On 10 June 2003 Thai police broke up a cell of the Islamic militant group Jemaah Islamiyah and foiled a plot to bomb embassies in the country. Three Thai men alleged to be members of Jemaah Islamiyah, the group suspected in last year's bombing on the Indonesian resort island of Bali, were arrested in raids on their homes in the Muslim.dominated Narathiwat province, 710 miles south of Bangkok. The development followed the May 16 arrest in Bangkok of Arifin bin Ali, 42, a Singaporean alleged to be a senior member of the terror group.
Thai Muslim separatists may have called on support from the Malaysian Kampulan Mujahedin. The Malaysian group has links to the regional terror organization, Jemaah Islamiyah, which has ties to the al-Qaida terror network. There was talk decades ago about creating a Muslim state in parts of Thailand, Cambodia, and Malaysia, but this has largely disappeared. Some religious leaders in the past, about 60- or 80-years ago, they had some idea to separate southern Thailand as an independent state. Even some, they want to join with Selantan state, Terranganu, and Cambodia and become an Islamic state." [source - GlobalSecurity.org, http://www.globalsecurity.org/military/world/war/thailand2.htm on 5/12/2007]>>>.   And this is just one example of modern day Islamic activity that shows it is no different now than when Islam was founded in the Seventh Century.   To wit, as stated previously, Islam from its very beginnings was out to greedily take that which belonged to others, to subjugate the enslaved, and to brain wash them.  This evil actions succeeded in most cases except for Spain, and the occupation of the subjugated nations continues until the present.
Of course the example of Thailand is just one small example.   Let's look at things briefly elsewhere in the world.   One newspaper in Australia, The Weekend Australian, highlighted the world condition and showed where most of the world's violence was emanating from as follows: <<<"Did you know that 90-95% of the conflicts in the world today are Muslims fighting non-muslims or each other? " [source - The Weekend Australian, November 26-27, 2005 AD]>>>.
Let's look at some more facts, <<<"Islam is intolerant of other religions, so much so that Christians in Nigeria, Sudan and middle eastern countries are killed for practicing their religion. Muslims are also responsible for burning down their churches. Sydney has recently seen an attack on four churches for similar reasons. (December 16, 2005) How can we tolerate such intolerance?">>.[7]
 
Says it all, so clearly Islam should be redefined as something other than a religion. So it is very necessary that this greed and hate be addressed. Remember, Matthew 5:9, "Blessed are the peacemakers: for they shall be called the children of God." (AV).
 
Let's consider the facts as continually revealed in the world news that shows if any thing that the newspaper editor may have been a little low when he said 95 percent of the violence in the world was caused by Muslims. Here are some instances of terrorism by members of Islam:[7]
 
(1) World Trade Center - 9/11 - unprovoked attack and mass murder by Muslims.[8]
(2) London Subway Bombing by Muslims [9]
(3) Continued mosque bombings in Iraq by Muslims.[10]

In fact, they are even to this day trying to start violence in North America with a view to Islamic Imperialism.   Let's consider the Fort Dix fouled plan to commit murder with respect furtherance of their wicked goal.   <<<" WASHINGTON (CNN) -- The federal government has charged five alleged Islamic radicals with plotting to kill U.S. soldiers at Fort Dix in New Jersey.
A sixth was charged with aiding and abetting the illegal possession of firearms by three of the others.
"The philosophy that supports and encourages jihad around the world against Americans came to live here in New Jersey and threaten the lives of our citizens through these defendants," New Jersey U.S. Attorney Christopher J. Christie said at a news conference Tuesday. (Watch how the suspects' trip to a video store led to the arrest )
