Islam. Part 1. History

September 12, 2023

What is the history and character of Islam?

Yesterday was September 11, marking 22 years since that infamous date in 2001. These articles might become more relevant as we examine the truth about Islam. Propaganda has clouded our understanding of this religion’s true nature. If leftists and progressives lie about most things, which they do, then why would we expect them to tell the truth about Islam? Let the lying begin. We will end with the truth.

“Islam has always been part of America’s story,” said Barack Hussein Obama, President of the United States, on June 4, 2009, in Cairo, Egypt. Obama also said, “As a student of history, I am aware of civilization’s debt to Islam. It was Islam that carried the light of learning through so many centuries, paving the way for Europe’s Renaissance (appreciation of Greek thought, art, literature, and culture).” (Emphasis added).

How has Islam been part of our story in the United States? And why should civilization, in general, be thankful to Islam? What major advancements has Islam contributed to the world? What significant acts of kindness has Islam shown to the world?

It is important to remember that the Renaissance, which Obama referred to, resulted from Muslim military aggression and brutality in stealing property and enslaving or killing people wherever they went. Trading and raiding were their main activities. Muslims took control of the trade routes to the East and allied with the Mongols, who converted to Islam to justify their violent and savage actions. The Muslims conquered and robbed much of the Byzantine Empire in the West, forcing these Christian peoples of Greek heritage to move further west into Europe while seeking help from the Roman Catholic nations. That help came through the Crusades. Islam has been part of our history, but a part that no decent person would ever boast about.

Constantinople, whose walls had stood for 1,000 years, fell to the Muslims in 1453, cutting off all land trade routes to India and China. In 1492, Christopher Columbus set sail looking for a new route to reach India and China. He found America, thinking he had made it to India, hence the name Indians for our native groups living here already. This is another way in which Islam is part of our story, but no credit to Islam.

Former President Obama should be ashamed for making those statements because he must know the barbaric history of Islam and its spread around the world. Islam, from the very beginning, has focused on world conquest and domination by the sword if necessary. And apparently, the sword has always been needed for Islam to achieve its objectives.

My following statement may be difficult to hear, but please consider my words carefully before judging if my comment is out of line. Islam has been part of America’s and the world’s story, much like a rapist is part of the story of his offspring conceived by rape. Should the child and its raped mother thank the rapist for the honor of his forcible act and for abandoning the child they brought into the world? If you think so, then your thinking is flawed, and you may be dangerously deceived. Please continue reading to understand why this statement is appropriate.

Only recent US Presidents have been fooled into believing that Islam is a religion of peace. George W. Bush assured us, after the planes brought down the Twin Towers in New York City on Sept 11, 2001, that Islam is not our problem; terrorists who falsely claim to be Muslim are the problem. Bush insisted that Islam is a religion of peace. Such foolishness from those who should know better. To be sure, there are many nominal Muslims who are peaceful, but the orthodox Muslim, who actually reads and follows the teachings of the prophet and the book, is a different matter. His religion is not one of peace and never has been. Most of those orthodox Muslim leaders face little opposition from the masses.

The Satanic Verses, a book by British-Indian writer Salman Rushdie, was first published in 1988. There are clear verses in the Qur’an that incite violence toward Jews and Christians. No honest and knowledgeable person can dispute that fact. A good Muslim is a follower of the Prophet Muhammad and does what the Prophet did and what he demands. Muhammad was no saint. According to the records, he was a murderer, rapist, thief, and pedophile, just to mention a few of his practices.

Here are just a few verses from the Qur’an.

• Qur’an 2:191, “Slay the unbelievers wherever you find them.”
• Qur’an 3:28, “Muslims must not take the infidels as friends.”
• Qur’an 5:33, “Maim and crucify the infidels if they criticize Islam.”
• Qur’an 8:12, “Terrorize and behead those who believe in scriptures other than the Qur’an.”
• Qur’an 8:60, “Muslims must muster all weapons to terrorize the infidels.”
• Qur’an 9:5, “When opportunity arises, kill the infidels wherever you catch them.”
• Qur’an 9:123, “Make war on the infidels living in your neighborhood.”

Islam has much of the world cowering in fear even today, which is a sign of submission to Islam and the exact opposite of what needs to be done to save this world from the religion of Muhammad.

What is the history of Islam? Islam has conquered many other nations and peoples by raping, murdering, sodomizing, torturing, enslaving, and stealing everything and everyone they didn’t destroy. And some followers of Islam today are no different because their unholy book, the Koran (Qur’an), is a product of the prince of darkness without any doubt whatsoever. If infidels are allowed to live, they must live as second-class citizens. Think of the Democrat Jim Crow laws in our country. It is even worse in Muslim nations, where Christians must pay considerable sums to redeem themselves and live like slaves to Muslims.

Only the creator God knows the millions upon millions of infidels and Christians that Islam has killed, raped, tortured, enslaved, and sodomized since its supposed inception in the late 500s, early 600s AD.

That said, we all know that not every, or even a majority of Muslims are radical, murdering, and raping Muslims. As in Christianity, and every other religion, there are nominal Muslims or cultural Muslims who do not believe in violence. Yet the murdering, raping, stealing, enslaving, and sodomizing continues today by the radical groups within Islam. And it will continue until these radicals are either converted to Christ, converted to a moderate expression of Islam, or killed. Muslim leaders are radical from our point of view, but orthodox from the point of view of the Qur’an and the great prophet. All other Muslims are apostate (not real Muslims) according to those Muslims who follow Allah and his prophet.

Muhammad, the prophet of Allah, was a religious, political, and military leader (RPM). Muhammad, for about 23 years, was the consort of a spirit that he called Gabriel, the angel. Without a doubt, this was not the Biblical angel Gabriel but a demonic spirit guide who went by the name of Gabriel. Much of what is in the Qur’an comes from this demonic spirit. Muhammad (or Muhammed) practiced all the evil, or most of the evil, that radical Muslims throughout history have practiced and continue to practice today.

Some Christians today, such as the Roman Catholic Pope, the Pastor of Hillsong Church, Brian Houston, in Australia, and Rick Warren, Saddleback Church, think that Christians worship the same God as Muslims. I think Rick Warren is credited with creating the new word, Chrislam, a blending of Christianity and Islam. A greater lie can hardly be conceived than equating Allah with Jehovah of the Bible. Jehovah is the one true God who gave us His Son, Jesus Christ, to die for our sins on the cross and rise from the dead three days later. Allah has no son and wants his followers’ sons to die for him! Allah is a principality of darkness and the exact opposite in moral character from Jehovah, the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, and the Father of His only begotten son, Jesus Christ. If you believe Allah and Jehovah are one and the same God, you are deceived or ignorant of the Qur’an and the Bible. In these articles, we will explore the origins of the Qur’an and the desert god, Allah.

Let’s compare Jesus with Mohammed.

1. Jesus was a religious leader only, not a military or political leader as was Muhammad.
2. Jesus never killed anyone, unlike Muhammed, who personally murdered an estimated 3,000 people, including the beheading of about 700 Jews in Medina.
3. Jesus never owned any slaves, unlike Muhammed, who received a fifth of the booty taken in battle, which he and his followers started to take what didn’t belong to them.
4. Jesus never married, unlike Muhammad, who had at least 11 wives (one as young as 6 years old and consummated at age 9), plus women slaves taken in battle, and concubines.
5. Jesus never forced his followers to believe in Him, unlike Muhammad, who said, “Whoever changes his Islamic religion, kill him.” Hadith al-Bukhari (Vol. 9, Bk. 4, No. 57).
6. Shall we go on? Jesus never permitted his followers to lie, unlike Muhammad, who created ‘sacred lying’, which obligated his followers to lie.
7. Jesus never sanctioned rape, unlike Muhammad, who instructed his followers to rape women taken in battle. Young boys were also raped and sodomized by his followers. Young boys were considered spoils of war and still are today with some orthodox Muslims.
8. Jesus never tortured anyone, unlike Muhammad and his followers, who made torture an art form.
9. Jesus’ followers never led armies to conquer other peoples and nations by the sword, unlike Muhammad and his followers. The Caliphs and Sultans slaughtered millions of souls. This is where someone might bring up the nine major Christian Crusades, which lasted from 1097 to 1272 AD. Why were the Crusades necessary in the first place? Because of the devilish military aggression of Islam. This Islamic military aggression cut off trade routes to the east (India and China). Muslims killed and robbed caravans to prevent trade and enrich themselves by theft of property and lives. As mentioned, the Muslims then moved back westward, killing, raping, and stealing. This forced people to move further westward, which led to the Renaissance in Europe and the end of the great Christian Byzantine Empire.
10. Jesus instructed his followers to do good, to pray for, to forgive and love their enemies, unlike Muhammed, who taught his followers to torture, murder, enslave, and plunder their enemies. Not every follower does what they are instructed to do. Some who claim loyalty to Jesus murdered others contrary to His commandment, and some who claim to be Muslim do not murder their enemy contrary to what Mohammed demanded. Faithful followers do what they are told to do by their leader, and that is what we see. Jesus’s faithful followers love their enemies per his instructions, and Muhammad’s faithful followers murder their enemies per his instructions.
11. Jesus lived a perfect life free of any sinful or immoral acts. Muhammad lived like the devil.
12. Jesus was God Almighty in the flesh. He was fully human and fully divine. Muhammad was a sinful man and as far from divine as is possible.

In the following two articles, we will consider Allah, the god of Islam, and the Qur’an. The following questions will be answered.

• Allah and Jehovah are not the same. In what ways are they different?
• What role, if any, does the Roman Catholic Church play in the founding and advancement of Islam?
• How are the theologies of Islam and Christianity alike, and how are they different?

The maxim, “What you do through others, you do yourself,” sheds additional light on the fruit of the tree of Christianity and the fruit of the tree of Islam. Jesus and his followers have saved and blessed untold millions of souls, both physically and spiritually. Muhammed and his followers have murdered and destroyed untold millions of souls. A bad tree can’t bring forth good fruit. Islam is a bad tree.

Additionally, the following two parts of this very brief overview of Islam will address these questions.

1. What advancement in medicine, science, technology, math, or some other necessary discipline has Islam given to the world in the last 1,000 years?
2. Why are many Islamic nations 3rd world nations?
3. Why are the leaders so cruel and violent? Why do Muslims commit most of the worldwide acts of terror?
4. Why is the religion unwilling to correct its abuses of power?
5. If the majority of Muslims are peace-loving Muslims, then why are the radicals so active and aggressive?
6. How is it that they can do such evil things and justify all of it in the name of Allah? The greatest murderers of Christians are Muslims, why?
7. Who is Muhammad? Is what we know about him accurate?
